For the past two years the State has had a commission or law yers and clerks at work revising the statutes; the work of that coin mis sion is pow submitted for the approv al or rejection of the legislature, which if it does its work exactly as it should, will pass upon each item of the revision. To do this will consume more time than can possibly be found in the forty days allowed fQr the reg ular session. Tho alternatives then arc an extra Bession,. to go.it blind by adopting the revised laws in a lump, or postponing the matter for two years, to then find the situation just as it Is now. As the legislature two years ago began this revision busi ness, believing it to be a necessity, the work should not now be oucpend cd, but finished as soon as possible and should be done with due consid eration and care, even if it has to be done at an extra session. a m The Pawnee Republican gives a ehorfc but interesting biographical sketch, of a lonesome old codger pas sing by the name of S. H. Hawkins, who located in Pawnee City last July. He was an industrious, pious old coon, and-withal saoa mania for get ting married. He seems to have a habit of getting married whenever he has a chance. In Pawnee he picked out a good widow, one Mts. Batson, and married her, when Bhortly aftej war,d it was discovered that he bad' live other wives besides- Mrs. Batsoa. He left when he- thought his mean ness waB found ou.t. Stoce his flight it has been ascertained that he has a Wife and children in West Virglnia-r-Bupposed to be his flratwife. His next wife was Mrs. XJorser, of EPfc City, Kansas. He then went to the Indian Territory and married a squaw. He married awqman in Missouri, left her and went to Del Norte, Colorado, and married a widow named Mrs. Weldy. The Pswneeltesare after hjm and it is hnorl rhec will catob. end cut b1m short off in.ais matrimonii career, Railroads in Nebraska Editor Advertiser. Much has been said lately in refer ence to the letter of Hon. Church Howe on railroads advocating non interference with railroad tariffs in the interest of railroad building. It is conceded to be a good staterppnt, of. one side of. the question, but I baye always considered that view unsound. The right of state to control taritfd is now an admit ted' fact. The proba bility of early legislation in this direc tion in this state, or even the possibil ity of it is certainly considered by any company engaged in railroad build ing; and whether it comes sooner or later it will notin my judgment eith er retard o.r accelerate railroad- build ing. Postponing the regulation of tariffs merely until railroads are built is not a very strong inducement for building them, I believe the developemept of this state will be fostered and aided by an immediate judicious control by law of railroad tariffs. Cheap transportation is what is need for Nebtaska, and I do not see how that is to be attained by the multiplication of railroads which are all ooutrolled by one or at most two companies. There is no ob jection against Nebraska, urged in tho eastern or middle states with greater force t,han its distance from market and the cost of transportation. Cheap en transportation and it wJU increase immigration, and by increasing the products for market will make the op eration of railroads pay at moderate rates of tariff; The great mistake In the west has been to build railroadB in advauce of the settlement of the country. Railroads, in the natural order of things, should, follow settle ment and not jjreoede it, otherwise it makes a sparsely settled country in which railroads cannot be operated profitably and renders the people the victlmsofhigh rates of transportation. In this respect there, has been, a depar ture from correct principles but the remedy now ajid for the future is to keep the tariff within bounds and let railroads be extended as the business of the country demands. Such regu lation will not operate unjustly upon railroads now operated, because they have been largely built by the aidjof the Government. Charles Francis Adams who has for mauy years studied the science of railroad management as part of polit ical economy, says there is a mistaken belief that the more railroads that are built the greater will be the competi tion. The result has shown that com petition results, necessarily, in combi nation. he weaker must euccumb to the stronger. Legislators should therefore learn that more railroads and competition are not to be relied upon to cheapen transportation. The reme dy is more direct: A fair schedule of rates established and-enforced by law. T. L. Schick. Judge Gaslin has very properly de cided that Olive and the other Custer county murderers willbe no t tried un til the legislature makes an appropri ation to defray expenses of the trials. Custer oounty, the Judge says, is un organized as regards judicial purposes has nojtnoney to try its criminals and he thinks it would be unjust to Buffalo, or any other county, to re quire it to stand good for the expenses necessary to try criminals of other oouuties. So tho time for the trial of those outlaws is in the indefinite fu ture. i B ma What will the greenbackers of this State now do for a leader? Churoh Howe, the former head of that party, in Nebraska has returned to the re publican fold and claims to be as good a republican now as he over was. Some regard this as a little ruse in' Howe, and dpn't believe he has met withanychangeofheartatall. Howe, is a shrewd, long headed man, and he seldom makes so important a move as thia. without a motive.

It stands it in hnd tp push things. LINCOLN CORRESPONDENCE. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 8, 1879. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. The exciting, feature. In Legislative proceedings this week has been the contest over the Temperance Bill, known as the "Prohibitory Law." The teat vote in the committee of the whole in the House last week, show ed the measure had 44 votes for to 36 against one more vote than was nec essary to secure its passage. In the Senate, after "counting noses," it was contended by friends of the bill, that there was just enough votes to carry it. Senator Bunnell of Saunders county, olaimod as a friend of the bill, died last week, and thus hopes in 8enate were crushed. Your readers may readily imagine how exciting matters would be on so- important a question, with an. close a vote. Both eides were drilled and kept in, con stant battio array. It is claimed, and not denied, that a large lobby fund was at command to defeat the bilh Some say as high as one hundred thousand dollars. But it is safe to conolude if there was, that none but those interested knew, and they would scarcely be expected to "di vulge." So that is all guess work. One thing Is sure, no Btone wao. left unturned by the whisky ring to de feat the friends of Temperance, and they did it by three votesonly, on the final vote. The feeling manifested was intense. If tho outside representation, bad been heeded, the bill would have passed by a handsome majority, in both houses. Members who were in clined to be weak-kneed plead non instruotion or expression on part of constituency, while outside delega tions on hand from some localities, claimed to represent a strong feeling in favor of the measure. The strong est opposition eame from Omaha, rep resented by two elements. One the strong drink ring, and, the other the "man-afraid-of-his-borses," members of the Republican party, who argued that a prohibitory law, passed by a Republican Legislature, would drive the foreign- element into the Demo cratic party. There wasn't much in this argument, or the Democrats, as a party measure, would have labored for the success of the measure. No, the facts-are simply that the people of Nebraska, without respect to party lines, are wonderfully In earnest in relation to the liquor question. Since the defeat of the bill under consider ation, Senator Howe from Nemaha has introduced a local option measure, which it is thought will become a law in some shape. The principle of lo cal option is correct in itself, if not unconstitutional, in that all laws shall be general in their application. One thing seems to be quite sure. If the feeling throughout the State re mains as.it now is, until another elec tion of members to the Legislature, there will be some stringent enact ments touohing the temperance movement. It will be asserted too in the next State election. There Ib no particular feeling looking toward a third party ticket; But a disposition to go with the party nearest represen ting the Temperance sentiment of the State. "Investigation" has continued the order of the day until at least within a few days. The State ;Treaeurer, and the University are the ghosts that will not down at bidding. It is esti mated that these two investigating machines have not cost the State less than eight to ten thousand dollars, and no one yet hurt. The Legisla ture has under consideration a resolu tion ordering tho- committee- in the matter of Treasurer to "stop its non sense." Bankers, ex-Treasurers, and others from almoafr all parts of the State have been summoned and been in attendance. It is found what ev erybody before knew, that State Treasurers, County Treasurers, City Treasurers, and all other classes of Treasurers have been in the habit of depositing funds with the Banks, and In Instances, receiving interest therefor. While bonds were good, and qasU forthcoming when wanted, no one seemed to care. "This, and nothing more" has been held up to pubiio gaze, at a cost, as said, of not lees than five thousand dollars ex pense to the-people. The University muddle- as said in my last, Is "a chip off the same block." There may have been, and doubtless wore some Irregularities on the part of the Chancellor and otherB In modes of procedure, and adjust ment of certain matters. There doubtless were, as in all other similar institutions, minor conflicts of opin ion, as to plans and policies among theFaouIty. They were not of suffic ient magnitude however, to interfere with, or retard the progress of the in stitution. Religious "Bug-ga-boo," and a private "unpleasantness" on the part of a certain newspaper editor toward the Chancellor, were at the bottom of this whole matter. The principal prosecutor is Brooks of the Omaha Republican, who Is acting both as witness and interrogator. He simply re-reads his numerous editori als attacking the Chancellor. When asked straight questions- he knew nothing only rumors. Those members of the Republican party who lose sleep lest the party will be injured by oertain Legislative enactments, would do welt to consid er the effeot upon that political or ganization, by the constant and un sparing effort to "Smirch" every prominent official as soon as be gets Into position, or as he goes out of it. This has been, and is still a mania on the part of, principally, the "outs."' Without here intending to bring up by-gones, oc-open old sores, the pen alty paid by Ex-Gov. Butler was, in reality not for sins of his commission. Principally, some one bad to be slaughtered. His real offenses, If such they were, had beem endorsed ratified by a Republican Legislature, as well as by the party through popu lar expression, and yet, he individu ally, paid the penalty. Warner of the House, is itching to get up an additional investigation. He is after the old Silvers, matter by resolution. Gassman is one of the &T9yg niipd ed prohibitionists. He wants a law to prohibit the planting of castor beans, unless, it is safe to suppose, the stalks will bear oil in table-spoon-full dosea, and take the dose itself. Mitchell of the House, wants the one mill sohool las "stricken from the Nottingham list" abolished. SlfcAS. Senator Church Howe has introduc ed a "local option" bill. It fixes the license fee for the sale of spirituous li quors of all kinds at from $500 to $1, 000 in precincts.. In cities of the first olass, $1,000 to $3,000. License for beer, $300 to $1,000. We think the radical temperance people do not want such a law, but would prefer a strongly guarded lioeneolaw until the next legislature, when, they doubt not, prohibition will carry the day. The fact is, the legislature may pass such a law as it pleases, but the tem perance people ask only for prohibi tion, and will be satisfied with noth ing else. "Leno,"of the Republican referring to this matter very truly says:v The fight is ended so far as prohibi tion is coucerned. The temperance men have fought bravely, long aud well. They have made a fair, open fight, in.a.alear field, and have failed co accomplish their aims. However, they have met with remarkable suc cess. Two years ago a local option law could. not be carried; yesterday three vote3.only. were required to pass in the house an exceedingly severe prohibitory law. The growth of the temperance sentiment in this state has been remarkable. The fight is "not ended: The feeling all ov&r this state Is growing. Two years from thia these same meu may be found still more troublesome. It is idle to call the friends of the measure fanatics. Hard names will not avail anything They have with them some of the best brains in the State. They represent 14.000 votep. They-are clear-bonded, sound thinking men, many of them, and are terribly in earnest. They belong to that class of persons who never dis pnir. They wiirflghfc for a principle which they honestly belipve to be rierhfc down to the grave. It Is true mistaken were made in themannge mpnt of this mpn.ure. but It Is also trnp thre wan a great dealfo oppose their efforlB. The nnonpss thev met is nnlv nn index of thp crrowlng,Eentl ment throughout the Hfnfe. The papers are again called on to record another apparently atrocious aud cold blooded murder in Nebras ka. Henry Stullzman, an unjraarried German, about 35 years old, lived on his homestead four miles from Hast ings, Adams couuty,vwa-tbe man murdered. W. J. McElroy, a Scotchman, 21 years old, residing near Stultzman's, is oharged with having committed'the murder. A neighbor visiting the house of the German, found him lying on tbe bed dead, a bullet hole in his head. A span of mules belongiug to him was found in the possession of McElroy, who, when caught, was taking them out of the neighborhood. His story told when accused of the crime, fastens the guilt upon him. It was to this effect: He stopped with S. to remain over night. After going to ba g. op proached him and ordered him to leave tbe house, at the same time snapping a pistol at him, which fail ed to disoharge. He then arose, got his owu'pistol and shot Stullzman. He then took Stultzman's male team and left, intending to go to Red Cloud. This is McEIroy'a story. He could not have invented one more thread bare, and iB another promising can didate for the gallows. Since the above was in type we have received a copy of the Hastings Nebraskon, which gives a full account of the homicide. It says that the ac cused is better known as John Brown but that there is evidence that his re al name !b- McElroy. Department of the Jnlerior. PENSION OFFICE. WASHINTON, D.C. January 27, 1879.
