THE RAILROAD OLLSTION. As we predicted, in the outset of this railroad war, Xebracka and the States west of the Missouri, will get the worst of any interference with the present system of transportation. Some very silly editorials have been written in this State about the fact that people have paid twelve dollars from Chicago, or fifteen dollars from Xew York to Omaha, and then erven or eight dollars for twenty to fifty miles transportation inland through the St.tte, without any reflection on the fact that that it makes but very little difference what they pay for their twenty or fifty miles of Nebraska trans . . . , J c.. . - ! lion across the ether States for a mere i song. Situated as we are beyond the west ern termini of the great railroad routes from the East, we have had the benefit of what is called railroad discriniina- tion throughout, and the least Nebraska can say on that head the better. AVe can hardly blame the great States of Ohio, Indiana; Illinois, and eastern Iowa, for finding fault with the ! present system, and yet when railroad ! rates are equalized, per mile through- j out the entire length of the road as is now proposed, it will cotnpl 'a ly shut i out the extreme western States here i . .......

Council Bluffs has alreu by seen the point of the joke, and that the pro posed alterations in railroad tariff will be the death of western Iowa. No system f equal rates per mile can be devised that will not utterly kill out a id curse some inrt of the country ; and when the present restrictions in Illinois are fairly carried out, and should they extend through Iowa, there would be sueh a howl from this part of i the country as has never been heard before. " regulation" o fk7 h.feeigiits BY LAW. There are some rights that the peo ple have against railroads which should be enforced by law.

HEAD AND FOOT OF THE CLASS. An Original and Humorous Article for tho Boys. I began mj existence in Ohio, on the 31st day of December. My father was a farmer. He had a neighbor, Mr. T.

WHAT THE FARMERS WANT. The agricultural part of the commu nity have become fully awakened to the idea that they have some rights which the politicians are bound to re spect. .Heretofore, they have nuidri no distinct issue in our various political canvasses, but have been content to , ... , ... ., .., , dnft along with the tide. ow, luul- ing that railroad monopolists and oth- era who have the charge of transporta- tion, have become , masters, of their i-cis. tun c i-ri-a - West and South." .They mean .business, as the fall elections will show. Rail road men will have to nav out an inp mense volume of money if they wish to control next winter's legislation at the West. - .'.The -Declaration." bv which the farmers declare th'-mso'ves independent of all existing political or- k 1 ganizations, reads as folov. s : This or- anfcation is opposed" to railroad steals, tariff steals, sahiry-grab steals bank, steals, and every other form of thiev- I beasiia. e thought just so of the Lo ing by which the farming and laboring j S -i", nd tlioii the Elkhorn, and umv the c!afses are robbed of the legitimate j Loups, and otlicr streams in tho north fruits of their labor."

VT. ShoaU Alaska be :iale a Penal Colony 1 In place of building new prisons. I v.h.' should we not trv exile penal transportation'-' AVe have in Alaska an immense territory, in almost every respect well suited to be the scene of a penal colony. It is isolated, and es capes would be easily prevented; it is almost uninhabited; it has a "chain of islands suitable for separate colonies; its climate on the coasts is sufficiently mil l, aud yet not tropical, but bracing and healthful; it otters few or no temptations to vagrancy; and yet it is a country in which convicts who had served out their time, or earned their discharge, could live comfortably, and build up a new and prosjk-rous society. At present Alaska is a useless and expensive possession. Two Federal artillery Companies hold possession; but it lies too far out of the way to tempt settle-vs. Used as a penal colony, to which the most hardened of our con victs might at fir.t be sent, it would offer a clear field i'or interesting and valuable experiments in the manage- i ment anl reformat ion ef criminals. It is not sickly, like the French penal set tlement of .Cayenne; nor lias it like Australia, a climate so mild as to ena ble runaway convicts to live a vagrant life in the bush. It is a' country in which industry and foresight are nec essary to enable a Avhitc iiati to exist ; aud thus the natural conditions of life would help itr disciplining the crinil-; fcals seflt thithef; . y. There would be no lack of work iii Alaska for a penal colony, however nu merous. TiicJ country has no roads; it has no public "buildings; it has no me chanic arts; it would need, if it hail a population, artisans of all kinds; and for half a ccntuary to come a penal colony . in .Alaska rightly managed ought to be self-supporting, with abundance of useful labor for every convictt This is the true point to so manage the criminal that when he lias suffered his punishment he may have, at least, the chance to begin a new and better life, and to make even his period of punishment -as natural and healthful as is consistent with his seclusion from general society. And this can be best done by exile, or penal transiortHtion. It is not done at all under the State prison aystenl; - - - - Two companies of artillery and two revenue-cutters now hold Alaska. This force need Ik but very slightly in Creased to be sufficiently strong, with proper, management, to control and keep under discipline a thousand con victs. The Aleutian Isles, the Island of Kodiak, and the long Alaska penin sula offer themselves for isolated sta tions; and I do not doubt that our en gineer officers could elalorate a plan of I "i'frations for a convict colony which ; would make such a colony sclf-sup- 1Mlrtili;r aiul i,r-iifiil to the reformation of the Convicts, bearing in mind always ! these words of that most successful Vr '' ;i 1 ' 11,11 1 , ' aI,li"" ; exertions ny uingent labor, aim a cm- ! ftant coorse" of voluntary self-coin- -md':iUi selfiienial.': Charles Xord - i "'-'- j " j .
