Al this scasou of the year the liafllc and hauling is of mucli value to the tradesman aud the wood anil ice ineu of the city. The citv. if the railroud company is so dirclict, should maiutaiu a tree aud open river front, else litigation aud trouble will arise. The Hekald took occasion a few issues back to give a detailed state ment of the proposition made to th city ot Omaha by tlw new water gas company and suie3ted the advisa bility of the Flattsmouth Board o Tr ide ami the city authorities in uni - ii, asking Mih comp.iny for a propo :.!!! for iln'r. r:ty. Council Bluffs, ii:v not r-tii..ikul'le in history for wi'le uw;i!;i' eneiiL'y, has i.;ii n just such steps as tlie Kkkald stigirrsted for Platlsmouih. lit : iioai.i r Trade has appointed a committee to visit the gas companv and ask for a pioposition for Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs like Omaha, has already gas in the city, but it is ready to belter itself. Plattsmouth, as yet, has no gas com pany owning a franchise in the city, which would combat new works, l'lattsmouth has this question of gas and light to meet at an early day. and therefore why not solicit a proposition from this company which lays its own mains and pipes to every part of the city and furnishes the light in every man's house at a cost one half as ex pensive as the old system. AU the company ask is a franchise. Is it not worth attention ' -. Stephen W. Dorsey is no longer secretary of the Republican National Committee, John A. Martin, of Kan sas, having been chosen in his stead At the first meeting held, since the star route charges were made against Mr. Dorsey ; this will be bad news some of the democratic organs, as it will require new words even if they continue the same old tune. The burning of the New hall House in Milwaukee, of which mention was m ide in our last issue, proves to be as horrible s first reported; over sixty at best, lost their lives in that lire-trap; and the worst of it is, that it was un doubtedly the work of an incendiary. The Cass county delegation opened the ball by casting their votes for sen ator for J. Sterling Morton aud John C. Cowin. Messrs. Pattei son. Neville and Draper supporting Mr. Morton; Me8srs.Hall and Wolph supporting Mr. Cowin. Joseph Alexander Connor, the tammany chief of Plattsmouth democ racy is figuring under the hat in Lin coln; if he runs across Leander Girard the state capitol will be put on wheels at ouce. Lt is a mattter of some surprise that the Nebraska legislature has not raised another railroad committee this week to further complicate mat ters. . LJ1 1 1 Coal has hwnn discovered in two lo calities in Nebraska duriniz the last week, at Rising City and at Rock BIuiLj. Let us have a geoleaical sur vey. The Grand Island Times says: Any legislator who is weak enough to be "-swerved" from the line of duty by a railroad pass would be "swerved" just the same, pass or no pass The editor of the Journal is iu Lin coln this week, and the animated scis sors in that sanctum continues the ed itorial work with unabated vigor..

Those who look over the democrat ic pilgrims I'roui Cass will also see the entire democratic police force of Plattsmouth in the lobby. The Her ald hopes they will be well viewed for they ure our special pride aud de light; when they arc at home they are engaged iu the lucrative employment of enforcing the dog ordinance; now, according to the Journal of this city they are engaged in the work of aiding iu the election of a Cuitcd States Sen ator.

Prksidicnt E. M. Correll calls the annual meeting of the Nebraska Press Association for Thursday, Jan. 25th, in Lincoln at the office of the secre tary of state. In the call the presi dent says; "Matters of more than or dinal y interest ate to come up for consideration, and it is hoped that ov ery editor iu the state will be present.' The Expresa will add to the urgent call ot the president that the time has arrived when Nebraska publishers should work together as one man for the protection of newspaper interests, Indeed they should have commenced the work of co-operation live years ago before Nebraska politicians had made the Legislature au instrument with which to cut off the already mea gre legal patiouage of the newspapers ; but if they take hold of the matter now it is possible to regain some of the patronage that has been lost, and secure the enactment of laws that will bear comparison with the news paper laws of other states, without working any injury to the public or the statesmen that the people' have sent to the state capitol to represent them. President Correll is correct to a dot etery editor should be present, Beatrice Express. 1 he Largest Railroad. The Pennsylvania system, of which Mr. G. B. RobeitJ is president, still leads the-country, 6,483 miles and of course the world although it is com- pased of several subordinate systems, each with its general officers. The Missouri Pacific system, of which Jay Gould is president, is also composed of several distinct roads aud corporations the Missouri Pacific, St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Northern, Internation al and Great Northern, Texas and Pa cific, etc., though with one set of offi cers. Coming down to a single ' cor porative organization under one title, with one list of officers for the whole system, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul takes the lead with its 4,500 miles, though several other companies are close behind. Scientific Ameri can. Ten years ago a republican commit tee, at the head of which was Senator Windom, made a report and submitted arguments in favor of the construction of the Hennepin Canal. Ever since that time prominent republicans like IVindom, Ferry, MacMillan, and Hen derson have been working in the in terests cf water transportation to the Atlantic seaboard. Within a week the Iroquois Club of Chicago, composed exclusively of democrats, has forward ed a petition to congress making' sub stantially the same argumentnts as presented by republicans ten years ago. On one point at least both parties agree and there would seem to be no good reason why a republican congress should net do what a democratic con gress is sure to do. pass the Hennepin Canal bill. Inter Oceau. The Herald is glad to learn just as we go to press that the state board of agriculture has re-elected Major Wheeler as their secretary for the coming year. The magnificent suc cess of the state board and the state fair last year, is proof positive that he is the man for the place. The republican members from Cass, are supporting J. C. Cowin, of Omaha, for the senate. Mr. Cowiu is one of the brilliant men in the state, and a sound and un trammeled republican. We believe the votes of Messrs. Hall and Wolph will be satisfactory . to their constituents. Tnic bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter has passed the senate; but the house, as long as it is republican, will vet it. The prayer ef the average member fJ the legislature, these days, is for .de liverance from bis friends in the lobby. As to United States senator, we have been for him all the time, and he will h elected: we netfer miss our guess, and we pick the v i y,i man. Capitol Correspondence. i LihIIeuab: According tofpropiv jiiguiflcHnt;during the Irst ballot it wa taken advantage of to compliment 'friends and bv manv: ' mho desire: to come out "on" too" above evervthlns else, it was used as a "feeler." The ballot indicated this much to a Cf r- taint y, that out of the many candi dates presented, - Millard, Mauderson Co wen. Tbayei and Saunders are lead ing, and doubtless one of them will be the Choice of the body; the most gen eral and strongest opinions expressed are to the effect that the chances are greatly in favor of Mauderson, Coweii and Millard, the latter having the most pisitive strength. Hons. Wolph and Hall have cat their forlutit-a with IIou. J. C. t'owen. believing that It will give general satisfaction to their constituency. J. Sterling Moiton takes the lead as the democratic candidate. Connor and Steickel as anti-monopoly. There is being a strong effort made to secure a combination of these two last elements but it is not probable that such will be the result. The Cass county lobby are here in full force, leaving out Douglass, it is more largely represent- ed'than any county in the state. The legislature is not doing much that is of practical importance, and will not until a senator is elected. Representatives Hall and Wolph are recognized among the most reliable members in the house, and are laying the ground work for the making of a good recoid.' Representatives Draper at:d Xeville although in the minority politically, come to the front on business, and, so far, show good judgment; and, I think. will make safe legislators. James M. Patterson, our senator, although not demonstrative, by reason of his good judgment aad decisive character car ries great influence in that body. Cass county need not be ashamed of her representation iu these halls; but the republican party has it to regret that the delegation is not solidly republican for if it was, her piwer would be muchgreater in the present senatorial contest. W. The Third House Elects a Senator. The momentous question which has been shaking senatorial aspirants from 'ceuter to circumference" for several weeks was decided in the Third house last nikht iu a highly satisfactory mauuer to tho gcutlemau from Afri- co, Mr. Johnson, at least. Immediately upon the announce mcu: that nominations werelu order it became evident that aspirauts were numerous. C. II. VauWyck was put iu nomination by a gentleman whose name we failed to learn, with a glow ing mythological eulogy which des cribed him as the Colossus of Rhodes, with a straight republican leg" tread ing down the cornfields iu the Second district and an anti-monopoly leg ca vorting among: the cattle arid sheep ranges of M. K. Turner's territory north of the Platte. The beautiful aiid distinguished Mrs. Vcgatable C. Pinkhani was then put ou the track aud Mr. Wm. Leeso, of Seward, fol lowed, uomiiiafing cx-congresman-coutingeut Pat O. Ilawes. General Experience Eotabrook was also entered for the race. At thittjuncture Governor Pearmau appeared leading upon the floor ot the House Mr. William Johnson, from Ethiopia, and announced that he would address the audience. The member from Africa had scarcely be gun his speech when the hum ot im patience gave way to a prolonged silence. The audience were held spell bound by the eloquent-c thai came from the lips of this child of nature, whose childhood home was among the jungles of the dark continent, and whose only Inspiration had been the song of the crocodile and wild glad 6uort of the corrugated hippopota mus. The eflect was electric. The thun der of applause that reverberated through the hall at close of the speech told that the senatorial lightniug had struck. Mrs. Vegatable Compound Piukham's fricuds withdrew her name, General VanWyck's friends declared that since the otl.er old wo man had beeu taken offthe track they would also withdraw the general. The name ef Mr. William Johnson was then put before the House. The vote wa.s called Au earthquake of ayes shook the capital, and amid the wildest enthusiasm, Mr. Johnson was declared tho next Senator lro:-M Ne braska.
