The c.ity authorities have authorized
the construction "of crossings and a side
walk on Sixth street. This is a move in
the right direction but falls short of the
requirements cf the people. There
should be a sidewalk oa Viue street, an
other oa Second and 31 St., south of
Main, and one on Sixth st. south. We
do not -rc-couimend anything expensive,
but juit enough sidewalk to keep tho
taxpayers out of the terrible mud.

The B. & M. R. R. Co. in Neb. have
an entirely new 'boat building at Madi
son on the Ohio River for business at
this point, and she is expected here in
sixty day. She will be buiit in the
most substantial manner to meet the re
quirement which the exigencies cf the
business ou this Road demands. She
will have a center track capable of traus
fsring two passenger aud one baggage
ear, or five freight cars at each trip.
Her engines are of tho most substantia
character, and she will undoubtedly
prove the finest craft of the kind on this
river. The B. & M. Co., with that pru
dent business forethought vhieh has al
ways distinguished them, have seen the
business of their road growing with an
almost unparalleled rapidity, and propose
to be ready for the still greater increase
which wiil immediately follow their con

approaching season will be many times
greater than ever before. Soon Piatts

The murmur is loud and reaches us
from every quarter that the farmers of
Nebraska are becoming slaves to for
eign manufaciures. Tha absolute re
turns in cash for the grains raised in this
State ari nearly balanced by the "pay
ments to foreign manufacturers. We
ask a patient investigation of the facts,
and it will be found the Threshers, Har
vester?, Headers, Reaper?, Mowers,
Seeders Cultivators, Drills Plows,
WagOLS, and all sorts of 'Vooden Ware?,
are obtaiued froui abroad, when they
could readily be manufactured in Ne
braska. We ship hid-'s abroad and im
port our leather buying the pame hides,
after passing through foreign tanneries,
at a heavy profit to the foreign djalor.
Numerous other atticle3 which could
readily be made at home are imported,
and the result is that while the hard
working farmer is doing hi utmost to
relieve hi.? itiJebtediii-ss, he is really
woiking fir foreign manufacturers.

The City Council passed, last evening,

son, of 31a-sacl:usetts, will pro.-s tbe
claims of that gentloman for viee-President
on tho llepubHcan ticket, aiding
that he had a!rendr secured several
States, among which they named Illi
nois. While, pcrhap, there may be no
personal or political objection to Senator
Wiison as vice-Pi -csident, still it may ex
cite a little curiosity in tunny Republi
cans of this State to know exactly who
has tho authority to pass Illinois over to
any particular candidate, either in re
spect to the Presidential or any other
ticket. We are somewhat of the opin
ion that Illinois hasn't yet eiprisaed her
self. In describing a yountr man's love af
fair with an actress, a Western reporter,
say3: "His heart stiil walloped faithfully
for the actress, and a3 soon as his re
turnins feet honored our shore he flew
to her on the wings of love and impa
tience." Ought not some lover of the
English language wallop ihat reporter?
"A lot of the prettiest littlecofans for
Christmas yoH ever saw," was a Ken
tucky advertisement.
"Who settled Virginia?" "John
Smith." "Who unsettled Virginia?"
"John Brown." "Who set: led John
Brown?" "Virginia."
