The town of Red Cloud, Webster
county, is experiencing a prosperous
season, be ireral beautiful brick hlork
have been erected during the past year
in this enterprising city, and as a trad
ing point we do not believe there is a
city in suthern Nebraska in a more
flourishing condition, lied Cloud is at
the terminous of the middle di vision
of the B. & M. in Nebraska, and alao of P,autinS the w.h.ecl and windlass.
he "Branch" from Crete via. of Beat
rice aud Wymore, south and west. At
this place the splendid B. & M. eating
house is managed by Mr. Joseph Swan,
one 01 the best and most accommodat
ing hotel men in the west, in whose
praise the travelling public speak only
in deservedly complimentary terms.
The IIekald here takes occasion to
congiatulate the B. & M. management
upon its fortunate selection of thi9 com
petent gentleman, to care for the wants
of its immense passenger traffic, at (his
point. .-'';
A trip over the lines of the B. & M.
west to Hastings and Red Cloud, and
from Red Cloud east through Nuckolh
and Thayer counties, last week, in
which Webster. Nuckolls and Thaver
-
counties, in Nebraska, and Jewell,
Smith and Republic counties Kansas
were briefly visited, has convinced the
Herald that Nebraska, at least, will
outdo itself this year of '83, In the way
of crops. The corn crop in the coun
ties mentioned is remarkable, both for
its quality and acreace. Tho small
grain was represented to be, and Is au
immense crop, both in quantity and
quality. The raiLAU'kas be4fv&nte.

erops'a plentiful yield of grass. This
country is well settled with a thrifty,
intelligent clafcs of agriculturists;
good comfortable farm Houses have
taken the place of the early "dug out,!
and the needful windmill is fast sup
The
people are thriving, and proud of their
country, a circumstance which speaks
louder than any outside representa
tions can do. Here we found wild
land, in the neighborhood of any of
the stations on the Branch, from Wy
more to Red Cloud, worth from five to
fifteen dollars per acre. The country
is well supplied with stock of all kinds,
sheep, swine, and cattle, and the thriv
mg villages, and lofty grain elevators,
at every station, spoke of what the
great B. & M. in Nebraska has done to
develop and populate this already weal
thy State. We believe it is neither a
boastful nor exaggerated statement to

the manner in which the supposed set
tlement between the figurehead, Kne
vals. and the settlers upon those lands,
has been brought about the Bee says:
;V year ago Kneval would have
been glad to have taken $1.50 an acre
for his lands, now he is compromising
at $3.50, and the settlers are mortgag-
their farms to clear their original tiile.
It can readily be seen that there will be
a good deal more difficulty now in so
curing the attention of congress to the
claims of our farmers in southern Ne
braska.
It will be urged that if tho farmers
were able to settle with Mr.
there is no further need for congres
sional relief. Appropriating money to
prevent eviction, and voting it to help
farmers to pay mortgages, arc two very
different things in the eyes of congress.
II113 was the point seen by TJeneral
Van vVyck, who ha9 steadily urged up
on the settlers to refuse all offers of
compromise, and to watt the course of
events."
The Herald would suggest that
Cenercl Van Wyck while he is about
it, look into the manner in which these
cases were conducted on behalf of the
settlers, and perhaps he can gain some
insight into the manner in which they
were settled, and recognize the hidden
land that has guided and shaped that
settlement.
The Telegraph strike is ended : the
employees are again asking for em
ployment, and the great telegraph mo
nopoly is exultant that its millions of
wealth, and almost limitless power,
has triumphed over the weak and pen
niless employee who has had the temer
ity to break a lance with that power
ful master and antagonist, and the
prints are full of the boastful self con
gratulatory rejoicings of the victor.
From thi3 contest, however, reforms
n our system of telegraphy will
emerge ; and the country will in the
end be the gainer; and when this
comes to pass the penniless, defeated
operator will be the victor after all.
The strike may be ridiculed and the
strikers may be censured, as they have
been by a great majority of the press;
but the fact still Remains that the
Brotherhood or Union adopted the
only means at hand at their command
to achieve, redress, aud gain relief
first, by asking their employers for re
munerative and living wages, and sec
ond, whea that request was met with
contemptuous disregard, by quitting
the employment of the grasping mas
ter. From the smoke of this contest,
the country's attention has been direct
ed to several features of the telegraph
system of America which needs and
must have attentions chiefest among
which is the fact that the commercial
peace and prosperity of this continent
cannot be assured so long as our tele-
of information accessible, that the
State of Nebraska will this year exceed
j its crop of '82, by at least from 30 to
40 per cent, in corn, wheat, oats, and all
other crops. With Thayer and Nuck
olls counties we were especially pleased
and predict that at no distant day these
will be among the banner counties of
sounthern Nebraska, in point of popu
lation and wealth.

The archbishop of Naples will be
made a cardinal for his services to the
sufferers by earthquake in Ischia. A

The Review is authority for the state,
ment that Captain Webb never enjoyed
robust health after his feats in the West

affection of the lungs, which made it
impossible for him to look forward to
a long life; and he therefore preferred

A meeting to further emigration, over
which Earl Shattsbury presided, th
Archbishop of Canterbury being also
present, resolved at London Friday that
200,000 persons should be sent to Cana
da and the colonies, the state to buy
them farms, taking a mortgage for se
curity. It is proposed to send 10,000
families to Canada next speing.
Canada is to have standing army of
1,250 men by enlarging her two field
batteries, forming three infantry com
panies, mounting a troop of cavalry
and increasing the mounted police of
the nftrthwest. Of 40,000 men sup
posed to compose the militia onefouith
are presentable on parade. The Queen's
Own, of Toronto, is the strongest battalion.
There really sacms to be a strong
probability of the appointment of a
Chinese policeman in Philadelphia. If
Sam Wah should be decorated with
the star and club he covets. Denis
Kearney would feel more than ever dis
posed to burrow deep into the "bosom
of his family" and let the balmy breez
es of the Pacific fan his ample ears.

and wisest heads in the nation have been
assured of this for sometime past, and
the postal system under the control of
the general government seems to be
the almost universally agreed remedy
for the existing danger. The next con
gress will have this problem before it,
and it is to be hoped a plan may be hit
upon which will do away with the
present monopoly, or at least give it a

Another wonder has been discovered
about Lake Tahoe which is a petrified
pine forest fifty feet below the surface.
According to the Carson Appeal, the
moss clinging about the top of the trees
has formerly presented tho appearance
of an ordinal y elevation of the lake
bed, but the moss has now disappeared
disclosing the petrified forest with
every limb and twig distinct. Some
fishermen recently drew up several
branches, which looked precisely as if
they had just been cut from a green
tree.
