Would it not be a wise act upon the part of our city authorities to widnn the sidewalks upon Main street, and put in gutters of sufficient capaci ty to carry oil all surplus water.

I UK .Nebraska delegation 111 congress seems to have come down to business in tho matter of distributing patronage, and us '.he Hekald predicted some days ago, business will be business when our Ajax from the first and James Fitz James iroiu the second districts address themselves to their congressional duties. From the appointments already made one cau see the young blood of our con gressional delegation most unmistakably showing itself. The appointments so far, seem to be very commendable, although it may be claimed by some people, that in all cases, that strict fidel ity to the principles of civil service which would cause 'the admirers of that principal to rejoice and grow patriotic kas not been observed. Tint third annual report of the board of fish commissioners was handed us last evening by Gen. R. R. Livingston (one of the commission erg) it being the report of that board, for the .two year8 ending Dec. 31 1883. It appears from the report ot the. board that during the years 1879, '80, '81 and '82, alout eleven million of California salmon have been received for the state of Nebraska, of which, some 885,000 have been success fully hatched at their fishery at Sante lake and distributed th-eughout the dif ferent streams of the state. That the board also received during this time some 24,000 brook trout and some 1,500 German carp, the latter of which, have been distributed among individuals, hav ing ponds suitable for raising an j breed ing purposes. The trout being at their fishery yet. The reports from the fry planted throughout the state- are very flattering. The board - of commissioners consist of Gen'i. "It. Ft. Livingston, of Platts mouth, Hon. B. K. IS. Kennedy, of Omaha, aud Hon. Wm . L. May, of Fre mont, Nebraska. These gciitlemu have been untiring 111 J their endeavors tn establish fish culture ! in our state npon a permanent H-Wm aud t from the mesas nlaced in their hands i the legislature having m ide rery meager appropriation to assist them in tics en terprise they have performed wonders in the way of stocking the strofo um-s the state with good fish.

This fishery has a good dwelling hoi)se for the superintendent and all tbe appliances necessary for a fishery in its infancy. Fish culture: a. very important inter est to N!2i "Vd there is no reaon wbTrfur streams should not abound in rood ira rue fib.zmnz tu a verv necessary fa tide of food, and our legislature should that this interest is fovtered.

Thk result of the county seat llht in Nemaha county, was hot and excit ed, and resulted in uu easy victory for lirownville. The vote polled was Rrowuville, 1221; Auburn, I'M I, To tal, 2025. Tllii lieaatache is over in the Wol verine state, the deadlock being broken on the eighty-first ballot. This sena torial contest is unprecedented iu Michigan politics. Hon. Thomas W. Palmer, of Detroit, is elected. Hon. S. j. Owkns, of Lincoln, nation al bunk examiner fur Nebraska and MMitlicrn Illinois, was recomniissioiu-d the first of January. Mr. Owens is held in high estimation by the treasury de partment, ami is an excellent ollici.il. Tub appointment ot Hon. O. M.

Persons who make a sec tional issue of a State capitol, are excu sable fcr such flights. In speaking of the late legislature and its failure to come up to the ex pectations of the public, the Omaha Republican bits the nail on the head, as follows: One thing is certain, that men elect ed on a hobby issue of any sort do not make the best, material for the general good. When we begin to elect men for their general fitness, for the stand ing the? have gained in their several professions, for their thorough rc-lia bility as citizens, then und not till then, way we expect sound and judicious law making. Further comment is un necessary at this time. ' Senatcr "Van Wyck's pension bill lias passed the senate. This measure increases the pensions of soldiers, who have lost a hand or foot in the service, from 318 to $24 a mouth, and those who have lost a leg or arm to 8:30 a month. This increase will be g'ener ally approved. Such disabillity deser ves a liberal pension, as does every genuine disability received in tbe ser vice, lo survivors of actual injuries t be govern meat and the people are not disposed to be stingy. It is only a hrst of fraudulent pensioners' that have made many of our people doubt the wisdom of their past generosity. O. liee. After the smoke had cleared away from the House of commons, and the public h id taken time to breathe, and think twice over the charges made by Mr. I ostpr against Parneil ami hiseol- leagues, th'-general opinion f-eems to lie, that Mr. Parneii's calm demeanor under the ' terrible chatties made against hi:n by the government, was that of a cohsumate lea ;er, and that had he given way under the torrentjf abuse, or lost control. oJLbims-lf in the debate, bis case would have. been seri oufilj imperiled. As it is, no .one scarcely, believes that Mr. Parneil or the land league had anything to do with, or any knowledge of the plot to assassinate the bead official of the gov ernment in Ireland..

Whereupon the proprietors of lhat in stitution, offered to furnish the leaiiii d diricijde fef the C'obden club together with the faculty and students of Y;ile, a special train and free transportation to their works, with full permission to examine their employes to ascer tain the truth of his statements. Tho truth is, their female employes earn from eight to nine dollais p"r week, aud their male labores from ten to fifteen; also many of these operatives came from English factories and the professor would havo an excellent field in comparing wages. Another venerable fossil' of this school, is congressman' J Ji. Tucker, of Virginia, who has discovered the true democratic argument againsl protec tion, viz., it is unconstitutional. Al though there has never been a ti ine in the history of our government under ail Kinds ot administration when a tariff ha.s not been laid for the pro lection .of certain inddstries, yet here comes an apostle, who in his -zeal to overthrow the doctrine of protec tion, discovers it is unconstitutional; this ought lo end the controversy, and place the democratic party on tlie ever lasting rock of abjolute free trade, there with the white garments of the constitution wrapped around it, that party would be relieved from portray ing to the laboring classes of this coun try, the happy, prosperous condition of England's millions of fat, well paid. happy working men aud women. 'Tucker has struck the key note' for the democratic party foi the coining presidential campaign. I.V speaking or Plattsmouth city. Hon.
