It is a settled fact that Judge Uresham will be Cleveland's secretary of state. It is the second time a president has ever gone outside his own party to select a member of his cabinet. Tlie result will lie watched with good deal of interest. W. N. Koavh, a democrat, of Grand Forks, was elected United States senator from North Dakota on the 20th inst. Populists and discontented repub licans supported him. It was a surprise as the republicans had a majority of the members. Wult Mason, one of the brightest newspaper writers of the age and well known iu Nebraska, was married on the 15th inst to Miss Ella Foss, at Wooster, Ohio. Every newspaper man and thou sands of other people in this stute wish the happy couple long life and prosperity. Sioux county is the only county to which jieople are coining so fast that a sfiecial train is made up of new settlors from one town. People are finding out what northwest Nebraska is and are going to prolit thereby. Investments in Sioux county real estate are bound to The republicans by their military strategy, cleaned out Governor Lewell ing, his militia and his Gathng gun, the senate and Colonel Lease without firing a shot or seriously injuring a solitary pop.

Some people would infer from what Acting Agent Hrovn soys in regard to the recent row between some Indians and cowIkjvs that he would rather people would keep away from the reservation. If he is not careful the public may get onto the workings of the ring- and then he would not have so soft a job. J. .Sterling Morton, the Sage of Arbor Lodge, has been selected as secretary of agriculture under Cleveland. No man could have been selected to succeed Uncle Jerry Rusk who will fullil the duties better or give more general satis faction than Mr. Morton. ' He is a true democrat and is certainly entitled to recognition at the hands of the incoming administration. umber wagons with tire not less than (1) three inches in width inches in width for hauliug loads exceed ing eight hundred pounds iu weight; (2) three and one-half inches in width for liauling louds exceeding twelve hundred pounds in weight: (3) lour inches in width for liauling loads exceeding six teen hundred pounds in weight, shall re ceive a reliate of one-fourth, one-third and one-half respectively of his assessed highway tax for each such year. Upon making an affidavit showing that he has complied with the provisions of this sectiou during any such period he shall be credited by the overseer of highways of the road district in which he resides with such rebate. Once in operation such a law would do a great work for the highways. The road tax would naturally !jO made a lit tle high, but the rebate could lie secured so easily that few teamster-, would fail to take advantage of it. The friends of road reform must remember that the country is not ready to go into a grand scheme involving the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in every county. The people can 1 coaxed into road improvement only by degrees. Short pieces of good road out from busy towns, the general spread of information about the cost of bad roads, and little advances like the widening of the tires, must be secured first- It will require patience and a great amount of hard work to educate the people on this im portant question. The beginning s must be small, but even the small ones will have a great influence in bringing about the marked betterment which we hope to see before the close the decade. I th Slums of Xw York, Ha wlio would see Mulberry S' -:xt in the picturesque aspect it wears b. yond any other point in these haunts of the wretched, must approach it from Bayard Street, the chosen home of Jewry, brist ling with Hebrew signs, and vocal with all strange tongues the Hebrew may choose to make bis own, the strangest of all being their own "Jedish,' the lingo made up on principles the philologist may not define, and used in printing as well as speech. Up to the moment iu which the corner of Mulberry Street is reached one is in Hebrew land; but, presto! there is a sud den transformation. Southern Italy and one of its market-places lies before one, and, in spite of the fact that sordid tenement-houses liue either side, the illusion is complete. Saturday morning, above all, is given the open-air market, in which trucks and barrows of every des cription line the side-walks and Gil the narrow street Ash-barrels often serve as counters from which extraordinary commodities are dispensed. The Italian scorns the house save when it rains, choosing the street as persistently as the Polish Jew avoids it; and now they make a never-ending procession, lining every available foot of walk and street. What (to they sell? Tainted meat; stale eggs bought by the pailful from the marketman, who is glad to get rid of them ou any terms, and bought here by the spoonful for omelets made savory with oil aud herbs. Here we find poul try, blue witli age and skinny beyond be lief; wilted vegetables; half-rotten or moldy fruit; fish long parted from the water; strange . weeds doing duty as lads: all ottering their share toward the unspeakable odor that rises to Heaven, aud seems grateful to the nos trils of the buyer. Stale bread abounds, nor is it found in just such fashion at any oilier point. The sacks containing it are old malresses, at least thev are of bed-ticking, and foul as such antecedents would make them, and in them are oaves of all sizes anil agos, sold weekly by down-town bakers at so much a sack ful.

Powers aud Jav Burrows would be very interesting if they could be given to the public. These pioneer populists must reflect that parties, like republics are capable of in gratitude. They have toiled long and faithfully in the political vineyard in Nebraska, farming the soil and the trees and the farmers ever since the first hour, but behold a large, overgrown man comes in at half past eleven o'clock and before he has scarcely got his coat off and jabbed his spade into the ground the bosses rush up to him and clothe him with a ready-made halo and bestow upon him the price of six years labor in ad vance. Those who entered the vineyard early and brought their breakfast and dinner in a tin pail must realize the truth of the poet's remarks that some must sow and others must reap, and like wise that all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Fremont T ritmne. The election of Allen as senator will temporarily enthuse the populist party, but will not materially strengthen it. The combine between the pops and dems proves what has been said of the new- party all along, that it is solely in thein terests of democracy. Thousands of former republicans saw through it last fall and they returned in sufficient num bers to give an average republican plu rality in Nebraska of 19,000. Let the (food work of uniting the two parties go merrily on. Fremont Tribune. If you are a parent and have a son who is dear to yon, bring him up in such a manner that he will never be a speech maker. The most tiresome man in the United States today is the one who is always watching for an opportunity to make a speech. The worst of it is that the man who wants to make a speech is never a good speaker. He generally has a wheezy voice and yellow teeth, and in sine ccses out of ten be says "eyether" and "ny ether." So, if your boy devel ops a weakness for speaking, lead him out to the woodshed in the still, dreamy gloaming and hit him. with two cords of green elm.

On the 15th the rpubli cans went to the hall and found the doors locked and immediately proceeded to knock the locks loose will hammers. The populists had locked the doors, but had adjourned and happened to be out yhen the republicans went in or there would have been a clash. Tlie populists on hearing of the action of the republicans, notified Gov. Lewelling who called out the militia and instructed them to eject the republicans. Tlie repub licans didn'tgo, however, but kept on with their business. After five companies of state militia under command of the gov ernor and 1,000 deputy sheriffs, whose business it was to see that the militia did no violence, had paraded the streets and made warlike demonstrations, the gov ernor and the beseiged republicans made overtures for peace and a truce was de clared pending negotiations. The gov- ernor proposed that if they would with draw the criminal proceedings again t the populist clerk and agree to let the popu list house occupy its side of the building, the double headed organization could remain. The republicans rejected the proposition and submitted another: that the populist clerk should remain under arrest, the republican clerk should also remain ttoder arrest and the republicans should retain, possession of the house, pending the decision of the courts, but that proposition didn't satisfy the gov ernor. A compromise was made wherein the republicans do not arrest the populist cleric, but retain absolute possession of the bail. The pops have the privilege of meeting elsewhere and they have built an addition to the oapitol to roost in. The governor ordered all the troops homo the 17th and qaiet reigns. By the action of the populists one Is lead to be lieve that they art begwning to see their ulstalM and are araid of the conse queajoes; while the rspabUoans know they are in the right ad act aoootdr log. During the period between the open ing and the close of lake navigation last year Buffalo handled 175,O2s,O0O bushels of grain and 11,305,470 barrels of Hour, exclusive of the receipts by rail. These large figures afford some idea of the magnitude of the commerce of the great lakes. Nearly all of this grain is shipped Ironi the western states and is ta!;?n to the Atlantic coast by the Erie canal and tlie railroads. There is no need of iMgument to show the hiinort ani i ill i proposed improvement of the canal in order that it may be maue an effective competitor against the 'railroads for this enormous volume of freight.

Over 200,000 have been sold, and it has been translated into many languages. To have such a circulation in the course of only five or six years, it must be a good book, one desirable for women to own and read. What is it? It deals with tlie physical culture of women, and is designed to alleviate and largely prevent the ills of maternity. It is said by one "to be to the body of a woman what the Bible is to her soul." The strong, kind face of the author on the opening page prepares one to accept her good words of counsel, which are based on science, common sense, and Christian principle. The book is believed to be doing more for women than all other books together. It teaches what so very few are taught by their mothers, and for want of which knowledge, an in conceivable amount of suffering lias been endured by the sex. It is one that every married woman should possess. Ve rejoice that a woman has been raised up with the desire, ability and courage to do this work for her suffering sisters, and that it has been done with so much delicacy, plainness aud success.

The efforts of the Hawaiian annexa tion commissioners before our govern ment have borne fruit, a treaty having been signed by Secretary of State Foster and the five commissioners last Tuesday.

The presidential election being over, as we before have said, it delights us to ob serve that certain seu-eviueut trutns keep on asserting themselves, just as though an agitated majority had not, voted that they were untruths. If in a season of just or unjust anger against Hie publishers of arithmetics, a majority of persons of adult age should vote tliat two and two do not make four, the eternal verity that two and two do make four would remain unshaken, and would be recognized upon the first day of set tlement with the grocer. In like manner, although certain per sons, protectionists at heart, but who temporarily were irritated by the Home stead strike, or by other industrial mis haps, were mislead into voting with that minority which really does believe that "tariff is a tax, paid by the consumer of goods," still the eternal truth that the tariff is not a. tax paid by the consumer of goods remains unshaken, and is recog nized when the first purchase of tariff bearing goods is made. For example, liere is our old friend, Tin-plate; this is the report of bis condi tion on the second day of this month: The Liverpool market, as cabled, is unchanged and steadily dull, with prices for American account at from 1 shilling to 8 shillings less than for trade else where. Now, why does the Welsh maker offer his tin-plate at from 85 to 75 cents per box reduction to a United States pur chaser? Why does he not ask the same price for a shipment to New York that he would demand for a shipment to Cal cutta, or 4(o Marseilles, or to Bio de Jan eiro? Because in New. York his. Welsh plate will come into competition with American made plate. Te American tariff forces him to lower bis price. It creates competition by protecting a weak industry. It increases production, nod increase of production always works decrease of price. As we were myieg, ihe truths remain ,Mtt Oetan. Will practice in all the local, state and federal courts and U. B.
