SATUBDAY. JANUARY 2l6t, 1888.
In reading the reports of death
froni freezing in last week's storm,
. some allowance must be made for
e . t . the excited imagination of reporters.

lying frequently becomes endemic,
and they cannot Tielp telling their
stories, believing them to he true.
Quite a number were no doubt
frozen by the storm, hut most of the
irr reports are like that from Holt
county, where they claim fifteen
deaths.
Mb. Lamae was confirmed by the
, Senate to be a justice of the U. S.
supreme court,' Stewart of 'Nevada
and Stanford of California being
the only Republican senators who
- voted in the affirmative, Riddle-
burger the independent, also voting
. for confirmation. Lamar made a
good secretary of the interior, but
we do not. believe he will make a
v - good judge. The prime movers of
. "the great rebellion should never oc-
' cupy a seat on the supreme bench.
A petttiox is being circulated
asking Congressman Dorsey to use
his influence to secure the passage
.of a bill-designating the 10th, 11th
and 12th judicial districts a" U. S.
judicial district, making North
Platte the point of holding court.
At the last election the territory
. embraced in the proposed district
cast 34,142 votes, there being 15,560
in the 10th district alone. North
" Platte, is the central point and
should.be dowgnated as the place
of lulling court. Perhaps a better
. however, would be to -amend
Mmctersoe's
wbiek
for a district omt of the
comrties alosg ike U. P. road from
Buffalo west to the state line, and
-which makes Kearney the point for
holding court: Kearney " is over
250 miles from the west end of the
district, while North Platte is very
near the center. We. have hereto
fore pointed out, the fact that the
"bill should be amended making
North Platte the place for holding
court. It would be central in ter
ritory and population, and easy of
. access, as the Union Pacific passes
through the district from end to
end. . We believe a united effort on
; the part of our people would secure
the amendment.
" REPEAL THE REVENUE LAWS.
Senator Brown of Georgia takes
a good Republicau view of the tariff
T question, and.strongly advocates the
repeal of the internal revenue laws.
His recent speech in the Senate, a
synopsis of which we give below,
takes the identical ground that has
-been advocated by The Tbibune,
- especially on the tobacco question.
' But the government tax on both
whisky and tobacco should be re
moved. Mr.TJrown said:
"The internal revenue laws of
1813 and 1861 were all passed dur-
.ing,the war periods and were in
tended to supplement the ordinary
revenue by tariff, and to meet the
demand for extraordinary resources
called for by the war. In both of
the earlier cases the revenue laws
were repealed immediately after the
close of the war. For a period of
forty years before the breaking out
of the civil war in 1861 all parties
united in resting upon the tariff
taxes for raising a revenue to sup
port the government. The internal
revenue system of 1861 was like
wise a war measure and adopted to
raise money in a great strain, but,
.unlike the two first examples, the
system has been continued beyond
: the emergency, and is now in exist
ence twenty-five years after the war
-has- closed. The discrimination,
..igainst.ipjbaccoa.nd, whiskyr made-
vby the internal revenue system, con
stitutes a .strong objection to it.
The whiskey iax occupies a peculiar
position. The whiskey taxpayers
do not desire to have the tax
abolished. The whisky distillers
get an .enormous profit out of it
which they do not wish to be de
prived of. And they enjoy a mon
opoly as a great association of pro-
tected capitalists that they do not
wish to give up. No monopoly on
the American continent is compar
able . to that of the great whisky
ring. It is protected by a tariff of
$2 on a gallon of imported whisky
from other countries, so that at the
custom house the whisky men are
the best protected of American citi
zens from foreign competition. It
may be thought that whiskey ring
has 5io monopoly, because every
American citizen can engage in the
business. This is a mistake. Be
fore the passage of this law there
were large numbers of small distil
lers over the country who do not
average five gallons a day in the
mountain regions of Georgia. A
small farmer, seventy-five miles
from the railroad, making 100 bush
els of 'corn for sale, cannot haul it
across the mountains to market, as
cartage is worth half the corn, but
could distill it into whisky and
transport it to the railroad with
profit and get money to buy neces
saries. These small distillers made
a great aggregate of whisky. The
whisky monopolists had to be pro
tected against these small home dis
tillers, so 'that a regulation was
passed forbidding any one to be
licensed unless he could distill twen
ty gallons of whiskey every three
days. If they make whisky without
a license tney nave to go tojan, ana
they cannot get a license to make
whisky in less amount than twenty
gallons every three days.
Thus, nrotected against foreign
whisky in the custom house by $2 a-
gallon duty, and from the home dis
tiller by a restricted license the
whisky monopolist has an easy
time, and against the little distiller
he has the whole power or the
courts, including spies, collectors,
marshals, district attorneys and the
Albany penitentiary. It is said the
internal revenue repeal will turn
whisky and tobacco loose without
taxation; that neither are necessi
ties, but both luxuries, and it is bet
ter to lower the tariff and give the
poor free trace chains and free wool,
which are cheaper than they ever
were before, than to give them xree
tobacco and free whisky. Tobacco
has become a necessity and even if
a luxury the poor will have it. And
the money for tobacco is taken from
the family support. Every dollar
of tax, therefore, on tobacco that is
taken off gives-a poor man so much
more to support a family, and will
probably be a greater relief than
anv other act of legislation could
furnish which does not reduce tax
to a greater amount. The same
rule applies substantially to whisky.
It may be denied that is necessary,
and yet few families do not use it,
and they will continue to use it at
anv price. When we put 90 cents
tax on what costs 20 cents a gallon,
we put a tax of 300 per cent on what
the laboring man will have. And a
relief in this matter will help the
poor. It is asserted that the repeal
of thejax will turn everybody .loose
to make whiskey, bring theprice
down and cause more qnn

in bond at
the Beginning of the year, give
nearly two and a quarter gallons for
each man, wowan and child iu the
country. No other system will
keep more on hand to tempt the
people, or keep so much when the
owner has to protect his goods at
his own expense." Said the sena
ator in concluding: "Let us, there
fore, return to the practice of the
great men who formed this
government, and . of the great
men who administered it for
many years, who, as soon as the
emergency had passed which called
for the enactment of such laws
swept them from the statue book,
and let us without delay get rid of
internal taxation "by the federal
government, all its espionage, its
tririal prosecutions its oppressions,
its outrages and wrongs. The re
turn to the old familiar practice of
the fathers of the better days of the
republic will at once relieve us of
the surplus in the treasury, and
relieve congress and the ad
administration of all further embar
rassments on the question."
.declared if the earnings warrant it,
upon condition that the companies
pay" upon their indebtedness an
amount equal to the excess of the
dividend. Other changes are of
minor character, and intended to
strengthen m its claims.
. Pacific Railway Funding Bill.
Washington, Jan. 16. The Pa
cific railroad funding bill, introduc
ed by Outhwaite in the house to
day, differs in many essential points
from the committee's bill reported
in the last congress. It provides,
first, for the ascertainment of the
amount of debt of the companies,
both principal and interest. From
that amount is to be taken the in
terest already paid. The present
worth of the remainder is to be
found as of July 1, 1888, money be
ing regarded as worth 3 per cent,
simple interest for the period be
tween that date and the average
date of maturity of the bonds.
From that present worth is to be
taken the remainder, being indebt
edness due from each company on
July 1, 1888, if their debt were to
be paid in cash. For this sum the
companies are to issue bonds secured
by mortgages covering the present
lines and branches. The scheme
provides for the repayment of the
debt within fifty years by a series of
bonds falling "due semi-annually,
and paying interest at 3 per cent.
The . bonds are to be issued in four
series, so arranged that one-third of
1 per cent of the principal of the
deb't will be paid every six months
during the first ten years, two-thirds
of 1 per cent every six months of
the second ten years; 1 per cent
every six months of the second
twenty years, and 2 per cent every
six months of the last ten years.
Among the essential differences be
tween this and the old bill is an in
crease of penalty in case of refusal
of coiupanies to "accept its provisions,
so as to require the payment of 75.
per eeut under the Thurmari act,
whereas the old bill fixed the pen
alty at 40 per cent. It provides dis
tinctly that the sinking fund shall
be applied on the principal of the
debt, while in the old bill this was
inferential. It allows the compan
ies to pay any part ofbthe whole of
the debt at any time, the bonds to
be cancelled, r the secretary of the
treasury may sell the whole of the
bonds, either to the creditors of the
company or in the general market.
No dividends are to be declared un
til all current obligations have been
met. After that, dividends are re
stricted to four per cent, which
must have been earned during the
preceding year. It is provided, how
ever, that a-larger dividend may 1
The Carlisle-Thoebe contest ended
in a sensation, the committee refus
ing to re-open the case. Under the
circumstances it was piobably justi
fied in its course as the develop
ments made it clear that J. Male
Sypher, an ill-smelling, hack num
ber in politics who had forced him
self into the contest as attorney,
had been trying to condpct it on ,a
ciaim or outside mnuence which he
alleged he possessed. Associated
with Sypher in the capacity of cap-
per was mat distinguished journal
ist, Lee Crandall, who has been
hanging on by the eyelids for years
in Washington, and making a pre
carious living by duping green con
gressmen and working timid depart
ment heads. if Thoebe had a
friend in Washington he should
have been warned against this fra
grant combination. Any case these
two may attack with their cham
pionship is sure to die an early and
untimely death. Their advocacy
alone is sufficient to arouse sus-

WALLACE.
Frank Wallace returned from
Hastings Friday, where he has been
the past three weeks, visiting with
his old friends. He reports trade
very dull there, the most of the
.farmers haying tobuyfeedv paying
40 cents per bushel for corn and 88
per ton for hay.
Mr. Jackson, of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
is visiting "with his brother this
week, and if I gp;?ss correctly, to be
present at the Duvalls wedding cer

takes place Thursday. Mr. Jackson
is very favorably impressed with
this part of the country.
The dance Friday night at the
-Bailor building was not so well at
tended as was expected. The storm
was partly the cause of the poor at
tendance. The first hwsuit that has taken
place in our village is in progress
to-day. Full particulars next week.
I understand that our county
superintendent has a scheme on foot
to adopt a uniform, series of text
books throughout the entire county.
This is what I would like to see
carried out for several reasons; and
by the way the Blue Eibbon Liter
ary society will debate the advisa
bility of such a measure next Satur
day evening.

"Good here 's a dandy stove, cheap

socks off o$ North Platte now
days." During my short visit
of "about thirtr minutes he sold two
stoves, oue bed spring, mattress,
razor, knife, two or three sets of
chairs, several minor articles, fixed
the fire, watered the dogs, and told
me that he had come west for his
health, and thinks it is improving

he continued! "One dav last fall

we found a skeleton. Saying I will

White man, I dismounted and while

with the letter T. C. engraved on

hair guard of fine workmanship was
still attached to the watch the

We thought as the bones were

case similar to that of the nursery
man whose buckboard and skeleton
we found several years since. That
body of sand hills has as many hid

within the last few years its topo
