Iy New Year.
Being unavoiJably absent on the real
new year day and h'-o for tlic first issue
of the paper iu l Hl'i we novr ha.toa to
hfiil its incoruiti? ;!one- and to lay don
a prosratiime tor the ensuing season.
First, we like Nebraska better than ever.
Aftfer a careful survey of that oiou
country called 'East" we have come to
the deliberate conclusion that our own
State is as good as anybody else's State
and that taken all in all we enjoy as
many advantages and privileges as any
other oni of the Thirty-nix Stars io the
American fhmanieut.
Our Fanners complain of hard times,
It is hard times, but when you bear your
part of the hard time-t and your neigh
bor is obliged to share it with you it
ought to ameliorate your condition some
what. At all events you would not feel
as bad as if all your neighbors were do
ing well and you alone of all the crowd
were left out in the cold hungry and
crying. This is not the case, the cry of
hard times is made all over the country
and a-fair comparinoa shows that Ne
traika has as little to complain of as
falls to the lot of any people. Some
things will jro wrong with us all and the
turn total of human happiness is only
arrived at by a general average after all.
In Wisconsin wlaero the Herald has
been lately they arc getting $1.10 for
wheat, Lut, then, the land costs all the
way from $50 to 200 per acre and
the $100 land does not raise as much by
lten bu&h to the acre as your $20 lan I
does out here. Labor is fully as high there
now a-days and on a fair calculation you
can raise wheat here and sell at 90 cents
with much lareer profits than they can
at $1.10. Ninety is about as low aj
good wheat has been in this market this
winter.
They get 35 cents for coin and only
fuur cents for Pork. Some of you
have eo!d your pork for 41, we arc toldt
and their pork was fattened on 35 cents
corn while your 4) cent hogs ate 15
cent corn. Less than half the cost to
fatten aud the price more here than
there. Again they raise less corn to the
acre there, ko that a Nebraska acre of 15
cent corn with 100 bushels on it amounts
to more than a Wisconsin acre with 40
bushels of 35 c;nt corn would in dollars
and cents. We are minded to draw
these comparisons because noma of our
people feel dissatisGed now and then, and
then some of those "Badger" people
had the impudence to tell us that- we
were "way out West, out of the reach
of market and everything Corn only
10 cents" and to on. Now 100 bushels
of corn at 10 cents if it even was as low
as that would still be worth more than
30 lu-hels at 30 cents and that's the
way it often wiggles up there. .
For thf33 and many other mercies we
are thankful then that we live in Ne
braska aud arc heartily glad to get home
onco more and say good morning to all
oar friends and readers.
- Bocic BLCi fs fiives us a turn on Rail
roads in Cass County again. All right,
Hack BlufFs, give it to 'cm, and if you
can pick a hole in their armor or drill a
crack in their shield, blaze away. The
Herald has hardly Lad time yet to
read the new proposition and get settled
to the bearings of this change. As re
gards the various change.", propositions
and plans before the Commissioners we
know nothing, happening to have been
absent each time. If Kock Dluffs did
not get justice, we are sorry for her, and
hope that next time she may get her
"pound of flesh" to the ounce yea, the
veriest scruple. One point "Rock
Bluffs" make which seems aimed at the
Herald, and wc must say a word on
that. It is about the transfer busines,
He thinks Otuiha, Piattsmouth, Ne
braska City and other towns could not
rest c:iy without a transfer. That is
true, but does not controvert nor de
stroy our statement that every transfer
now ruido is a curse to the State at
large, and the county wherain it is situ
ated, dragging money, trade and business
utside our borders, and leaving u to
pay for all the transportation out of our
State aud for all that comes in There is a
great difference between a transfer now
at any given point, and cmc in 1S60 to
'GS. Then there might have been some
excuse for desiring an outht that way,
now there is none. Again, all the.-e
towns may have wanted a transfer, and
worked until they got it; and yet the
sober, culm common sense of to-day,
doubts whether it benefitted them in
the long run as much as a north and
south road in our own State would, 'and
that is just our position. To prove it,
and tho fact that it has not helped the
river towns and counties, look at
Douglas county 1 what is she and why
are Cass and Otoe counties yet dissat
isfied with their Railroad outlets if a
simple transfer aeross the Missouri was
all they wanted? What people want is
often not the wisest or best thing they
could have. All the Souvli Platte coun
try wanted the removal of the capital
from Omaha. They wanted it because
they thought it would help their towns
and cripple Omaha. How has it worked?
it has made Lincoln and tbo yest no
doubt added thousands of people to the
St'Ue and millions of wealth, but it just
ruined the South Platte river town for
years. These transfers work the same.
One might help a dozen people in Rock
Bluff to get in and out cheaply, but it
would help impoverish, t lie county just
as they all have done. With the rail
road interests west of u, at this day, a
transfer across the Missouri can be of no
benefit to any town in the eastern range
of countfea in Nebraska.

fcOiIML'.MCATEXl
The old adage, "If at first you don't
saeceed, try try again," has been fully
tested by the originators of county
bonis. Bat thay have tried the third
time, which should have produ.-ed a
charm but alas! it has made confusion
worse confounded. It has given the
Weeping Water Company ali they want
ed and a little more. That road is now
to join "some other road east of the
west line of range 13." This other road
may be one to Nebraska City, totally in
dependent of Cass county, or its Trunk
road. This was clearly seen by the
Commissioner from Piattsmouth, and
also by the representative of the Trunk
company, who did all they could against
it the latter declaring positively, that
if such a proposition were submitted
and carried, his company" would not ac
cept Now, the proposition is to be
submitted on the 25th of January, and
if carried, what will b5 the probable re
sult? No one can blame thefWieping Water
Company for accepting the liberal aid of
$5,000 per mile for thirty-six miles, or
it may be a yet greater distance, and
commencing work immediately. But
who will undertake the Trunk road with
no certainty of having the other as a
feeder? Both roads are made to stand
or fall together, thus leaving in uncer
tainty the fate of a road of the greatest
benefit to the county and State, leaving
it to remain as hitherto a mere black
line on old county maps. As the propo
sition stands now, it cannot be expected
that the river pteeinets wi!l vote for it.
if they intelligently look to their own in
tercsts. Who tt to blame for all thin t
Thofce, and those only, whoever they
may be, who have persistently refused
to give Rock Bluffs the same chances ot
benefit for her outlay as has now been so
liberally and properly given to Weeping
Water.
I he citizens of Kock limns have al
ways preferred local bonds, given by the
places most beneStcd, and have shown
their faith by their works; but, if com
ptlled to voti county bonds, they will
persistently refuse to be taxed for the ex
clusive benefit of other localities. They
have been charged with not presenting
their claims at tho last Commissioners
meeting, to be a point of shipment on
tho proposed Trunk road. How this
charge can bs made by any one at all ac
tpjainted with the facts, is inconceivable.
A delegation attended every meeting
abut county bonds which was known of,
and besides, a written and standing
claim touching this very point is on file
with the Commissioner", signed by
ever' one to whom it was prescutcd
but was neither considered nor passed
upon. It surely is the duty of the Com
missioners to consider a respeciful peti
tion of the citizens, and either to jtrant
or reject it. If granted it is the duty of
their attorney to put the matter in legal
shape to be submitted to the people.
We are considerably amused dawn here
by tho. cautions received against a trans
fer aeross the Missouri. It is notu cable,
however, that the people of Omaha,
Piattsmouth and Nebraska City could
not rest easy till they had just such a
convenience. There must be something
peculiar about Rock Bluffs ! There is
The peculiarity consist in its being the
best point in the county for the ship
ment of produce, and of this fact our
rivals seem too well aware.
If we are gerrymandered out of the
benefits of a road which we hope to
build, we must and shall have a transfer,
and that without begging and plotting
for count j help, or having a first, second
and third meeting of the Commissioners,
at great expense to the people, to see if
wo cannot, by some hocuj-pocu move
ment, possibly mortgage the county for
our special benefit.

Once mere I find myself on tho o!d
htamping ground, to usa a western ex- i
pression. It looks very natural, but few
old faces are to be seen, either among
the Honorables or the newspaper men.
Nary a "Bobster" looms up with a
smile that is childlike and bland, nor do
our short hand oterie appear in four
fold gran ieur to hand down to posterity
the wise, or otherwise sayings of the
Nebraska Solons verbatim el pronounce
it at 'em, just as they "sed," you know.
The new members looked like geutle
men, every one of them, and I hope
they may. prove so. Oo3 thing should
be borne in mind, gentlemen Senators
and Representatives ; Nebraska needs
and demands an honest, working, dig
nified, business Legislature this winter.
We have had two legislatures that may
well be described as of uneasy virtue,
and now we need a square deal an 1 a
clean pack, or we may wake up and find
our.-elves in the fix of Louisiana some
day. Not that we are by any means in
the same boat as that unfortunate State
at present ; but one or two more esca
pades like the llacal legislature would
set us far on the road Louisiauaward
if another War mouth should turn up
here.
Harmony and good feeling, the inte
rests and dignity of the commonwealth,

our WEST.'
Tji3 Westwari E20dus---Ils Mainspring.
by raoi". j. d. butler.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 10, 1872.
Editor of the State Register.
The West draws new settlers ioto its
capacious bosom by its fertility, its fiee
hutuesteads, and its infinite d -mand for
labor, whether skilled or unskilled. It
also drives them to take bhelter under
its wings by competition.
New England once raised her own
brcadstuffs, but she has long ceased so
to do. The produce of l ie er and cheap
er lands competed with her farmers,
iit" it proved more than a match for
their e-kill and energy. Many of them
then turned to manufacturers, but a
still larger number, wt-re hence driven
west. They made their owu some of
the cheap acres th;re, and enlisted in
the ranks of the agricu.tural army, which
had vanquished theut.
Thus the West is constantly acting on
the East with an incr. -using weight, und
that of a larger and longer lover. Here
is one secret of its rapid .rjwth.
It is forty years since the first white
families entered Iowa. But no more
than one-third of its present population
were boru witr-.iu its limit ; two thirds
havo come.
Of its twelve hundred thousand to-day
about one-half wore born in some more
Kastern State. Foreign countries being
further than the At antic slope, from
the West, have hitherto fe t its influence
less but even they were long sincedriv-
en as well as drawn to snd their sons
hither. The influence exerted upon
them has been of the same nature with
that which has brought Westward so
many from our own East. Hence one
sixth of the population of Iowa has come
into it from beyond the Atlantic.
. Many Europeans have so emigrated
brcau-e they could not compete with
larmers who.se land cost ie-& per acre
than the rent, or even the fertilizers ol
ench of their acres tor one single year,
the influence of American competition
has b'en intensified by the abolition of
lntih Corn Laws aud other harriers to
the free entrance of American farm pro
ducts into foreign markets. Every new
hue of-railroad, steamers, or ships
every reduction of freight charges ev
ery harvest, here exceptionally bid
abroad every emigration ogencv like
that in gret Britain of the Burlington
.V Missouri River Railroad Company has
heiehtened this influence.
It was never so strong as to day, but
it will be stronger to-morrow. Th
stronger it grows the more strength it
has to crow stronger. Nor can it fail to
wax still more mighty till so many of
the European millions have migrated
that the density of population and the
rate of wages shall have become well
nigh equalized on both sides of the At
lantic. The "Prof ' handed us this himsel
at Buiiinglon and wc hiata to publish
on our return.
