A CONTUAOT made on Sunday has boon declared valid by the supreme court of Illinois. Tlioro Dooms to bo no good rea son why a contract made on that day should not bo carried out in good faith. The Illinois decision ought to prevail in every state in the Union. SKVKUAT * sympathetic nowrfpnpora are offering positions to Mr. Villard , whoso reputation as a correspondent is not for gotten.

A CODPLK who were about to bo di vorced in a Chicago court wcroso affected by witnessing the inarriago of another couple by the judge of the court that they concluded to Idas and make up and dr p the dinted proceedings.

CONQUKSSMAN FiNKHTV isa iio3o twister as well as a'tail twistor. A South Carolina lina congressman was overheard to re mark to a friend , as Finerty passed , "There's the great tail twister of the British lion. " Finorty turned around and replied , "I can twist the nose of a rrmn-liko you much more readily than the tail of the British lion. " Finorty looked as if ho meant business , but the South Carolinian retreated rather than let the stalwart Irish-American congress man experiment on his noso. HBWIXT'H boomerang resolution is now the political sensation of the hour. Mr. Hewitt -would have acted wisely liad ho remained on the shore of the Rod sea and listened to what the wild waves were saying until after the O'Donnoll execution. The British minister at Washington says that Mr. Hewitt will not deny that ho caino to him and said what ho has boon charged with. This confirmation of the published charges against Howott puts him in a very bad light. His action lias surprised every body , for ho was considered too shrewd a man to lay himself open to censure by playing a double game which was euro tc bo discovered. It seems to bo the prevailing vailing impression that ho cannot satis faotorily explain away his conduct in regard gard to the ,0'Donnoll resolution. A 9 Montana is ambitious to become i atato.

Of the resources i Montana , her mines would rank fin next would coino the live block interest and then Agricultural , none of which hai juoro than begun to be developed. The public discussion of schemes of public improvement is always in order. During the past two years the question of paving has been pretty thoroughly discussed in Omaha. This paper has cer tainly done as much AS any other medium toward bringing the public to a thorough understanding of the interests involved and the merits of various materials. Wo have gene further than all that , and fought out to n successful issue in the courts the right of the property owners to direct what material they dcsiro to use for paving the streets adjacent to their properly. The outcome of all the acjila- tion over paving has boon the selection of the two host materials known for pav ing purposes , namely , stone blocks of granite formation , and sheet onphaltum laid on a concrete base. During the past year ever two miles and a half of these pavements have boon laid down , and they are undergoing the test which alone can demonstrate their adaptability to our soil and climate. It is admitted at the outset that asphalt , owing to its smoothness , cannot compote with granite or ntono block on slrools with a heavy incline. It is also claimed , and perhaps with good reason , that stone blocks are more durable for streets ex clusively devoted to heavy traffic. On the other hand the asphalt pavement excels - cols all others for easy travel , cleanli ness and noisolessnoss. It has boon given preference in loading cities in Kuropo and America for light traf fic thorough fares that are nearly level. The only question is whether asphalt will stand the test of our variable climates with its severe winters - tors and hot summers. So far as heat is concerned there can bo no doubt. It has successfully stood' ' thn test of heat in Washington for years , and it certainly will stand that test in Omaha. Wo have just gone through a spell of cold weather that has had no parallel within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The worst that could bo expected from extreme cold is already visible. The cracks in the asphalt pavo- montaro the result of contraction. If they do not roach below the concrete they are harmless. The expansion in warm weather will close them , and so far as travel is concerned they do not afford the slightest obstruction. If the cracks roach below the concrete base , water is liable to work through in the spring , and breaks and depressions will soou follow. In that case the contractors will bo com pelled to repair the breaks. If the ther mometer does not go down to thirty do- grecs "below zero again , they may not bo required to repair any such breaks for some yoara to coino. ' If the same result should happen every year the asphalt pavement may require considerable repairing to keep it in per fect order. These who desire smooth , clastic and noiseless payemout Bay they are willing to pay for such repairs for the pleasure and ' comfort which such a pavement affords. The only drawback wo can BOO to this is that the pavement is a process which necessitates more or loss of monopoly , It should bo berne in mind , however , that there is as much difference in asphalt povomonts as there is between the different < foront varieties of stone pavements , from limestone to granito. First and fore > most the pavement should bo laid during favorable seasons , when the ground if not saturated by heavy rains nor liar donod by frost. Last year there wat great delay in letting the contracts , owing to the sandstone fight and the ob stinacy of the council. As a consequence , the material dcslinct or Omaha was not shipped until vorj ate , because the contractor did not dane , o run the risk of having it on his hands Several blocks were laid late in the fal n spite of the unfavorable conditions bo ; auso the property owners clamored tc ave the work fniishedandtho contractoi .ccordingly rushed it through. Thii nay account for some slipshod work , bu t does not show asphalt to bo a failure The same conditions would cause brcaki and depressions in granite pavement the spring , during the soasoi of heavy rains , there won several bad break * on Tenth street which had to bo rolaid , and the earn rouble occurred late in the fall in tin illeys. The advantage of stone block it .his respect is that it can bo relaid b ; anybody , but the first cost of the tw materials must bo taken into account This a candid and plain statement of th facts as they now exist. The power t wine the material rests with the proport owners , and where the council an board of publio works ignor Uio clearly expressed wish c a majority of property owners , the court will afford the proper remedy nt very HI tleoxponso. Ample opportunity has boo : given for pot Hi DUB naming the pavin material. The only blame upon th council is that it 1ms given notice to proj ; erty owners , in a sheet that fo' property owners ever see , and whic the great majority of thorn Imvo novc seen or hoard of. Barring this cmiesio the council very properly is expediting tli scheme of publio improvement for th year by letting the contracts during til winter. This will enable the contractoi to order the material in time t begin leaving early in the spriiij With those fuels before them sonsibl men , who as tax payers have an intern in paving , vrill have no difficulty i understanding their rights in the pron isos. As to the shysters and blathci akitca who are circulating all sorts < rumors and cock and bull stories aboi a'legod bribery nnd conspiracies , tli publio can judge for themselves. Woi wo disposed to enter into a personal fig ] wo would show that the prime object , u the one hand , is blackmail , and on tl other , notoriety. Give the calf ropocnoug - - n Ot Umo when iwuiris miijr question 10 trill hang himself. A 1'itorxit ' The verdict of the coroner's jury ir ho case of the woman who was killed bj Snoll , the galoon-keopor from Valentino , WDS nn eminently proper one. It maybe rue that the death of Jcssio Snoll , alia ; Vriglit , was in a measure the result ol n accident , but the circumstances under rhich that so-called accident occurred warranted the jury in holding Mr. Snoll o answer to the charge of manslaughter. To / man and the woman were drunk to gether at a notorious road houso. jiioll , who had been n owboy , and had > cen promoted to the position of saloon- cooper , canto to Omaha to have a spree , nd ho brought with him his cowboy mbits as well as the inevitable revolver. At the road house ho could not resist the omptation to exhibit and flourish his ro- olvor , and the wonder is that , cowboy- ko , ho did not bang away at the mirror , 10 glassware and the lamps , or shoot the mttons off of Major Croft'a coat or the woman's dross. While thus playfullj musing himself , probably not intending o kill anybody , the woman grabbed hold f the revolver , very likely to make hire > ut it up. A struggle ensued a report was heard. The revolver had gene off , nd the poor , degraded woman was dead , t was but the work of an instant. This is what some people call an acci out. But , if no worse , it was a criminal ccidcnt , and Mr. Snoll should not bo al owed to go unpunished. In the firs ! > lace ho was committing an unlawful acl n getting drunk and being disorderly n the second place ho was breaking thi aw by carrying a concealed weapon , 'ho woman's death \ras the consequence f Snoll's unlawful acts , and his offonsi omos wHh the terms of manslaughter. The carrying of revolvers may bo al ight on the frontier where lifo is no nluod very highly , but in civilized citici ko Omaha there is no necessity for i nan making a walking arsenal of him el. The only excuse Snoll can offer ii liat it had become second nature will lim , and the carrying of a revolver wai s common with him as having a jacl cnito in his pocket. The case againsi urn will very likely bo prosecuted , ani onio punishment may possibly bo in ictod upon him , as people are begin ning to think that there are too man ] uch accidents , and that some stops ough -o bo taken to put a stop 'to them. INDIAN LANDS , The proposition to give to the Indian : lioir lands in severally and thus maki hem individual land owners , is mootinj wilh general favor. The senate commit oo on Indian affairs is said to ondorsi t , and a bill providing for such an allotment mont will probably bo reported favorabl ; t an early day. The matter has beoi ully discussed by the committee. Tin ill introduced by Senator Coke , o Texan , which includes all the features o ho proposed legislation , provides tha osorvations suitable for grazing or agri ultural purposes , shall bo surveyed o o-survoyod , if necessary , and that ai allotment in severally to the Indian hall bo mado. This shall bo done , however over , only in such cases where the In liana have progressed sufficiently in civi ization to warrant the belief that the ; vould sooner or later become solf-sus aining , and that their best interest would bo served by an allotment of th ands. If any Indian entitled to an allotmcn shall fail to make a selection within fiv cars after the president shall direct division , then an ngent shall , under th direction of the secretary of the interior dccido upon the allotments , and patent ihall bo issued accordingly. Any Indiai not residing upon a reservation can mak settlement upon any lands of the Unitei States not otherwise appropriated viul the foes for the loco and olllcu shall bo paid b ; ; h government. The United States wil liold the lands thus allotted in trust fo the Indians for twenty-five years , at th end of which time they will convoy th same byjwtont free of all charge or en cumbrance to said Indians or their hoiri This provision is to prevent sales in th meantime , and any contract or convoj anco which may bo made before the os piration of tht time mentioned will bo dc clared null and void. The consent c two-thirds of the tnalo members of cac tribe must first bo obtained , howevoi before the provisions of tho. act shall ei tend to any tribe of Indians as such. That the Indians can become aclf-sui taining there is but little doubt. It hi boon demonstrated among certain tribei The Omahaa and Winnobagocs , now 1 < catod in Nebraska , are engaged in agr cultural pursuits , and are quite prospoi oils. They are self-sustaining or near ! so. The Sioux Indians , which wci classed among the most war-like and ui tameable tribes , are advancing quil rapidly in civilization , and there is ovei reason to believe that within a very fo years they can bo made solf.supportiii | The Sioux Indians at Pine Uidgo ngonc are being greatly aided and encourage in their efforts to learn the white man way of making a living. Many of thoi have built houses and furniture , and li\ and labor like white folks. They recoil wages for doing certain work , and i every instance where an Indian sees tin ho can earn soinothing for himself ho b comes ambitious to increase li proficiency in hopes of a co responding increase in rcmuuoratic for his services , The Sioux are in goc condition to rocoiva their lands in so orally , BO that each family can bucon independent. The government , of coura would liavo to aid them for u few yea until they become acquainted with tl methods of fanning , stock-raising , ot The division of the laude in soverall will sorro to break up the tribal rein- ions , and make each family dependent ipon its own efforts for support. It will make each Indian responsible for n's individual acts. There is now ) oforo congress a treaty with the Sioux for a reduction of their vast res oration - ation BO lhat a great portion of it can > o thrown open for settlement , and very effort is being made by the people f Dakota to , have it ratified. If the roaty is ratified , and a bill for the allot- nont of Indian lands in severally is assed , the Sioux Indians under the pro visions of the bill would each have as much land as n white man can iblain from the government. The ilan of division , according to Sena- or Ooko's bill , will bo as follows : 'o each head of a family , one-quarter of section ; to each orphan under 18 years f ngc , one-eighth of a section , nnd teach ach person under 18 years , one-sixteenth f a section. Where Ihcro is not suflic- ont land to bo divided as above , then ho reservation shall bo allotted pro rain. Vhoro the lands on any reservation are mainly valuable for grazing purposes , an ddilional allotlnienl shall bo made , and , ny two or moro Indians who | shall agree o use their lands in common may do so. It is believed by these who have stud- od the Indian problem that the abolish ment of the reservation system , and the ubstitution of the allotment in severally , accompanied with government aid for a casonablo period of time , will do moro .awards civilizing the wards of the nation hau any thing that has yet boon pro posed. . WIHTKLAW KEID , who is an aspirant to ho United Stales senate , has given some ulvico to the republicans in the New fork legislature as to the course they hould follow to make a record that -will carry that state next fall for the republi can presidential ticket. Mr. Reid says : 'A short , wholesome , fruitful session , ull of good works for the pcoplo and the despair of the lobbywill prove a weighty campaign document. Ho serves his ) arty boat who serves the people best. " Clio advice is good , but it comes from a ioor sourco. The Now York Star point edly asks : "Can this Mr. Reid , who hopes to dis- ipncort the wicked lobbyists audmonopo- ists , bo the same Editor Reid whoso Tribune has not yet heard of the Hunt- 'iiKton-Colton correspondence ? So guile- ess and unsophisticated an editor should lot bo sent to congress.

Tu tlio Ijl.tcr . i.l Tim linn. ST. EnwAitiw , BOONK COUNTY , Nob. , January 10 , 1884. The Omaha Ilopubli- can says in a late muc , "Lot us have facts about this railroad issue ; " inclining that if the railroads have overcharged anyone they would bo glad to hear of it. Well , I think the people of this county can bear evidence- their extortion. In the first place they charge ua for hauling our grain from hero to Omaha , a dis tance of 130 miles , 18 cents per hundred , which is about 11 cents per bushel for our corn , or 855 per car , which is a direct steal of at least $30 on every car wo sell. Yes , sir ; wo nro robbed in every conceivable manner. I will give an instance. Mr. Bristol , a farmer , wanted to ship a car of oati to Denver. The agent lock aown his printed schedule of rntoa and found that the rate was 53 cenls per hundred on grain. Well , ho shipped , nnd when the freight was paid at Douvur , they raised it to G5 cents per hundred , or about 22 cents per bushel , or $170 for a car of 800 bushels. Now , is this not robbery by wholesale ? It cer tainly is a direct steal of $110 on a sin gle car from hero to Denver. Is it any wonder the people are kicking ? But I am Iiappy to say that that the clouds are breaking away , and I can see the dawn of a brighter day. The people are waking up to a sense of duty , and the rings both great and small are becoming somewhat "warped. " This county ist republican by COO majority on straight' republican principles. But the oppo nents of railroad extortion and ring rule united on a people's ticket and elected all except school superintendent by from G lo 550 majority. The way the cappers work is like this : They put up some capper like Thompson who excels in nothing but "monkuying" with his neigh bor's wife and brand him republican , and then with a flourish of trumpets call on the faithful to "vote the vray you shot. " There was a time when it ap pealed to our loyally. But to-day it excites - cites only our derision and contempt. It would be impossible forthisrail-road rob bery to exist but for the subsidised press of both parties , of which Dee Miller and Fred Nye nro among the conspicuous. Yes , sir ; if Fred wants the opinion of the people , and especially of him , ho shall have it , and it is this ; that wo believe - liovo that every bite of bread and butter which enters his foul mouth , is simply the earning of bribery and corruption too vile to name. But let THE BEE go on with the good work , so that in the near future wo can say ; "Well done , good and faithful servant , thou hast been ruler ever few things , wo now make theo ruler over many.
