The net earnings of the Union Pacific railway for tbe month of March show a decrease of $501,000 from the month of March a jear ago, while the expenses also show a decrease of $41,000. For the three months of this years, the earn ings show a decrease of $615,000. If this ratio of decrease hold good during the year, it will be a very small payment the road will be able to make on its debt to the government. Lindoln Journal. The annual interest on the $80,000 bonds 5 will be $4,000. Now a tex of 9-10 of one mill on the assesed valuation or 40-cents on every 80 acres will raise $4,237: $4,000 for which will pay off the inteerst due anil leave $267 as the nucleus of a sinking fund to apply on the principal . As the assessed valuation of property will increase lrom year to year so the amount collected each year from the9-10 form mill tax will in crease in proportions until at the end of twenty years there will be found a consi derable sum in the sinking fund to app ly on the bonds. One of the most hopeful signs of the times is that the Southern press is busy in laudation of Southern resorses and in advocacy of their development. This is far better than discussing the race ques tion. It is, indeed, doing much toward settleing it. For when there are hund reds of iron works and hundreds of cot ton factories and scores of new towns and a hundred thousand more people, mostly white immigrants, m Alabama or Georgia, the excess of population will be white, while the minority, always is great one, of colored voters,will be divid ed upon questions of policy andjienarc. ine only means or making negro supre macy possible in any Southern State it by excluding foreign capital and preven ting white immigration. Inter Ocean AX EDITOR AFFLICTED WITH It ABB IE 3. The renowned Dr. Billings should be called to "Weeping Water ,to inoculate the public against the rabbies manifested by the editor of the Eagle. The sooner this is done the better it will be for the pub lic. The editor of the Eagle belongs to a little ceterie of town site speculators and buldozers, who baye heretofore cost Cass county thousands of dollars for suecial countv seat elections; who have in petitions and in elections on such oc casion, brazenly perpetrated frauds and who have suugbt, heretofore, to avert attention from their crookedness by howling "Stop thief!" These same fel lows at the last county seat elect'on stuffed the Weeping Water ballot box and brazenly withheld the returns of the voting place for days, so that not even the voters of Weeping Water could find out what their vote was, and when, at last, they found the pee-ple of the county by an increased vote bad eat down on them, they cut down their returns throw ing out hundreds of so called votes, to show a fair vote. For weeks they had men in Lincoln and Omaha buying men to come into this county and illegally vote; they ran fradulent trains of fraud ulent voters over the M. P. B. R. to Weeping Water and voted them; the honest voters of that town know this is the solemn truth, yet:, such shameless rascals shout "fraud" and charge other people with the commission of the crimes they themselves are guilty of, in order to throw dust in the eyes of honest people. The Eagle befouled its own nest in this matter and the people of Cass county understand it. The Herald has no slurs to cast at Weeping Water as a city or at the masses of its people; we simply wish to inform the editor of the Eagle that the people understand that paper and the little corrupt county seat gang that are behind it; for twenty years that ring have been howling "county seat" for their own personal gain and today they are further away than they were then. The county of Cass needs and must have a court house and county buildings; if any man docs not see fit to vote for bonds he has a perfect right to vote against them, but, he has no moral right to blackguard the man, who, throw ing aside local prejudice, is willing to allow tbe majority to rule and the people to have a plaee in which to keep their records and to transact the business of the county. The best evidence in the world of a weak case, Mr. Evglel is your resort to blackguardism. The "tender foot" of the Herald never attempts to carry a point at the expense of becoming a blackguard. Had the county seat been located at Weeping Water the editor of the Eagle would have been bowling and frothing for bonds for a court house and the "tenderfoot" of The Herald would have been found giving the proposition a gentlemanly support.

Rheumaism is cured by Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup stricking at the seat of the disease and restoring tbe kidneys and liver to healthy action. If taken a suffici ent time to tbourly eradicate such poi son, it never fails. The effect of using Hibbard's Rheuma tic Syrup is unlike all medicines contain ing opiates or poisens, it being entirely free from them. It cures rheumatism by purifying the blood. European and American Women. The European lady Is tbe idiot ot her sex the world over. She hasn't anything: at all to do but dress, to eat, and to be agreeable. But what has this led tof Read the follow ing from the pen of Professor James Bryee, an Knzhsh trentleman and scholar who vis ited this country to study sociology: "The average European man has usually a slight sense of condescension wben be talks to a woman on serious subjects. Even if she is his superior in intellect, in character, in social rank, be thinks that as a man be is her superior, and, consciously or unconscious ly, talks down to her. She is too much accus tomed to this to resent it, unless it becomes tastelessly palpable. Such a notion does net cross an American's mind. He talks to a woman just as be would to a man, of course with more deference of manner, and with a proper regard to the topics likely to interest her, but giving her bis intellectual best, ad' dressing her as a person whoso opinion is un derstood by both to be worth as much as bis own. Similarly, an American lady does not expect to have conversation made to her. It is just as much her duty or pleasure to lead it as tbe man's is, and more often than not she takes the burden from him, darting alonir with a eav vivacity which puts to shame his slower wits. "It need hardly be said that tbe commu nity at large gains by the softening and re straining influence which tho reverence for wo:nanbood diffuses. Nothing so quickly incenses the people as any insult offered to a woman. Wife beating, and indeed any kind of rough violence offered to women, is far less common among the rudest class than it is iii England. Field work or work done at tho oit mouth of mines is teldora or never done by women in America; and the Ameri can traveler who in some parts of Europe finds women performing severe manual labor is revolted by tbe sight in a way which iuro- peaas find surprising." Chicago tribune. Safe Bales for tbe Poultry Yard. The following rules, if systematically carried out, will insure successful poul try raising: In buying fowhj or eggs go to Bome trustworthy breeder who has his reputa tion at stake. Culls are not cheap at any price. Do not breed too many kinds of fowls at the same time. Until your experience and accommodations warrant it confine yourselves to one or two well known va rieties. Introduce new blood into your stock every year or so, by either buying a cockerel or setting of eggs from some re liable breeder. Let old and young birds have as wide a range as possible, and do not crowd too many In a house. If you do you will have disease. Construct your house good and warm, so as to avoid damp floors ana atiord a flood of sunshine. Sunshine is better than medicine. Give plenty of fresh air at all times. Above all things keep the house clean. Clean roosts and bottom of laying nests, and whitewash often enough to keep all sweet and clean. Provide a dusting and scratching place where you can bury wheat and corn and thus induce the fowls to take the need- fill exercise. . Give plenty of fresh water daily, and never allow the fowls to go thirsty. Feed them systematically twice a day; scatter the food so they can't eat too fast or without proper exercise. Do not feed more than they will eat up clean, or they will get tired of that kmd of feed. Give them a variety of both dry and cooked feed; a mixture of cooked meat and vegetables isv an excellent thing for their morning meaL Give soft feed in tbe morning and the whole grain at night, except a little wheat or cracked corn placed in the scratching places to give them exercise .during the day. Substantial Dwellings That Were Old Be fore the Revolution House In Which Xtenedlct Arnold Lew-tied to He a Drag- gist John Trott's Cider "Flip." While there are several neglected and isolated houses scattered throughout va rious parts of Connecticut of greater ago than any in Norwich, probably nowhere else in this country is to be found Buch a group of ancient dwellings as that in this old town. The famous stone house of Guilford, which was a fortress in Indian times and the history of which runs back to 1039, is only twenty years older than some of this group. They all stand in historic Norwich lown, which a cen tury or more ago was the town proper. and when the present site of the city was known as "The Landing." Indians held possession of the river in those days, and kept tho white settlers away. Here gen eration after generation of families have been reared, and the houses remain now almost as they did then. The peoplo here have cared more to keep their pos sessions intact than to have modern im provements, until isorwicu is pre-emi nently the banner historical city of New England. the buss mansion: Passing up the two aristocratic thor oughfares -of tho city, Broadway and Washington street, to the "plains' and out upon the old road, tho change is most remarkable. Fashionable domiciles give way to ancient looking rookeries, whose weather beaten sides are marked with time. The first and most famous of these old dwellings is the Bliss house, a substantial two story mansion, which 6tands squarely on the main road to the old town. It is the oldest house in New London county, having been built in 1659 by Thomas Bliss, one of the original settlers of Norwich. It was, without doubt, the first dwelling built in eastern Connecticut. The first town clerk had his office in this house for years. From the time of its erection, 230 years ago, the old house remained in the uninter rupted ownership of the Bliss family. until a few years ago, when it was sold to Mr. Angel Stead, the present owner. A few rods south of this old family mansion stands another ancient build ing, an odd, angular, un painted, gam- brel roofed structure, which is now used as a dwelling by a very old lady. This little building was erected long before the revolution for the purpose of weav ing stockings in. Tho sign which for years hung over the door represented an unsymmetrical leg clothed in a gaudy stooking. iiut tins industry was evi dently unprofitable, and it was succeeded by a newspaper, the first in Connecticut. Separated from this building by a nar row lane is the Reynolds homestead, and above tho front door are scrolled the fig ures 1659, representmg the year in which it was built. This house has remained in the Reynolds family since the land was set aside for them and is now occu pied by the family of the late Henry L. Reynolds. Diagonally across the street from the Bliss place, partially hidden by shrubs and trees, is a brown two story dwelling known as tho Thomas Lemngwcll house. It is fully 200 year3 old. The old stone chimney, which is twelve feet square; at its oase, ana tno stones or wnicn were laid in clay instead of mortar, the ma terial tliat is used in the construction of walls today, still erforms its service. THE CLD DRCO STORE. Above this place is another but more unpretentious house, also once the prop erty of the Lefivngw-ells. It is, if any thing, a trifle older than the former and much smaller. The Lefnngwells were a big family and very prominent in early history. Col. Christopher Leningwe massive mansion is next in order. Tbe colonel was methodically correct, and the house stands due north and south, one angle of its frame protruding partially out into the road. Col. Lemngwell was the first postmaster of tho old town, operated the first paper mill in eastern Connecticut, and carried on various other industries. These six places are all within a radius of nteen rods, while some fifty rods fur ther on another line of ancient dwellings is approached. First comes the resi dence of Mrs. Laura Thurston and Mr Henry McNelly, which was the home of Dr. Joshua Lathrop long before the rev olution. Directly opposite is tho dwell ing of the family pi the late Wilham C Gil man, which' was occupied by Dr. Daniel Lathrop at the same time that Joshua occupied the other. These broth ers kept tbe first drug store which was opened between Hartford and Boston. Their old store was in existence until two years ago and was popularly known as tne ".Benedict .arnoia arug score, because within it Arnold was trained to be a druggis$. Just above these two places stands aa immense, gambrel roofed, venerable looking two story structure which was the residence of Gen. Jabez Huntington prior to and dur ing the revolution. The house is .on land that was deeded to ancestors of Gen. Huntxngton by tho Indians, and the mansion has been in the hands of the Huntington family for two centuries. The general ana ail his sons were prominent in the revolutionary war. Nearly opposite the Huntington place is another old. house, built for Governor Samuel Huntington. Surrounding Norwich town green is an endless chain of these venerable man sions, all zou or more years oia. uno or the niosfc notable a the old Trott place, which was occupied by John Trott as a tavern prior to and during the revolu tionary war, and where Gens. Washing ton and Lafayette and others oi ten drantt his famous cider "nips." The Tracy house, too, is quite conspicuous and quite wed preserve!, as are also the Sylvanus Jones and the Lathrop places.
