We would like to ask Bra. Gen. Van
Wyck to go a little slow on his resolu
tions in regard to pay meat of taxed.
It all very easy to talk about repealing
this law and that, because it looks pop
ular, but there must be some way to
make delinquents pay taxes, or all of
us will quit. There are two sides to
this question, and we thought we had
it pretty well canvassed two years ago.
There is ne use of going through the
farce of selling lands for taxes, if no
title and no penalty can be enforced.
THE COMPROMISE.
The compromise is a fact ; on Mon
day the 20th, President Grant signed
the document whichimade the law, and
already the members from both houses
have been selected and the machinery
for counting the vote by this law is be
ing put in force.
THE COMMISSION
will be as follows:
Senators Edmunds,Morton and Fre
linghujsen, Republicans, and Thurman
anil liayard. Democrats.
Representatives Payne, Hunton,
and Abbott. Democrats? and Garfield
and Hoar, Republicans.
Supreme Court Associate Justices
Clifford, Strong, Miller and Field, the
fifth member to be selected from among
Associate Justices Swayne, Davis,
Bradley and Hunt.
Later advices announce Judge Brad
ley as the man.
Judge Davis declined te act, and was
wise in so doing.
Though believing the bill unconstitu
tional and at best but an experiment,
it being duly passed we expect to abide
by the decision, and hope most earnest
ly that wisdom may guide the coun
cils ef the commission, and peace and
plenty follow the result.
Mr. Lamar then concluded his speech
saying the bill eliminated the sword
from the controversy, and sent it to
the tribunal whose character guaran
teed justice, right, and truth in its de
cision. That is just what it did not do, it
may help te eliminate the sword from
the controversy by the forbearance of
the party most injured in the probable
decision, but it did not send it to a
tribunal whose character guaranteed
right and justice. To have left the
question to the whole Supreme Court
as a court, might have been to send it
to such a tribunal, but the present one
is purely partisan, no matter how it
may end. That is why we opposed the
measure, though we believe now it will
give us Hayes.
The present wintea has been unusu
ally severe on the quail, which are
found in such large numbers through
Illinois and the adjoining States. The
sharp and prolonged frosts of the last
six weeks have thinned the coveys
greatly, and many have perished, fro
zen on their roosts. Inwestern Penn
sylvania, western Virginia and eastern
Ohio they have suffered, but an effort
is being made to protect them by pur
chasing live birds and keeping them
until spring. As they are the destroy
ers of pestiferous insects in the spring
they may well be called the farmer's
friend. Illinois has a sportsmen's as
sociation that might find here a field
for practical labor. Ex.

GABBLE AND G1BBEBISII.
That wall-eyed Son of Temperance
who edits the Plattsmouth newspaper
concern, says there is but "one plain
duty for this government." The gib
berish that gushes out when these pip
ing idiots open their mouths is too dis
gusting fer even this short mention.
Omaha Herald.
Hello! What's the matter with the
two-eyed, pot-bellied old fraud of the
Herald. Mad because you couldn't
get that Democratic vote fer Senator;
or" because you couldn't sell your
brother Democrats out thi3 time and
deliver them, which?
Let's see the logic of this. If our
remarks were "gibberish" why pay any
attention to them. If disgusting, why
repeat them, old Innocence? A little
"concern" like this at Plattsmouth
doesn't notice what piping idiots say.
Only great editors, like our two-eyed
bag of wind at Omaha, notice piping
idiots.
Shucks, Doc! Why will you show
everybody your sore spots and make a
fool ef yourself this way, so that even
"Hilton of the Pilot1 has to tell you
there are too many holes in your skim
mer; and every litt'e, one-horse, patent
inside editor in the State (those fel
lows you despise so, Doctor,) lays back
in his chair and says, "Well, I may be
only a one-horse editor with a patent
inside, but thank God I ain't such a
fool as that Miller of the Herald. I
don't think I am the Republican party
and can buy and sell it as he does and
then wake up to find myself sold."
Why, even poor old purblind Dick
Reese, the Blacksmith, comes. in here
and says, "Mac, what was the hitch
with Doc's Democrats that they did not
obey him and vote for Mr. Hitchcock."
"Gibberish." This is a favorite word
of the Doctor's. We have just found
out the reason why he is so fond of it.
It is first cousin te gabble, and here
is what some Democratic Son of Tem
perance telegraphed to Tilden.
Portland, Oregon, Dec. 1.

ration hot-house survivor, bronze of pi
ameter, dotish hot-house exactness of

spectful merciless of Senator inconse
quent coalesce. Gabble.
There, if any Republican editor in
Nebraska ever wrote as near gibberish
as that the next meeting of tbe Press
Association would order him hanged.
We set out to say something mean
of the Doctor, but our contempt has
changed to pity for the man, and then
we have greatei interests to serve and
cannot afford to waste any more space
on a one-horse gabbling Omaha editor,
and a son of the Telegraph, toe.
The Senate cynmittees on investiga
tions have been hunting up telegrams
on Oregon, ani here is the result. They
show conclusiyely that the manipula
tions were done by Tilden's orders, or
at least with his consent, cipher, tele
grams in Patrick's handwriting address
ed to Tilden at his house were found.
and Pelton answers the "gabble" in the
same cipher. $32,000 were seat to Or
egon, though not all of it was used.
Our frieads Patrick and G.L. Miller
figure extensively as reformers(?)by
telegraph. Here are some of the cheic
est:

Davis.
And the "Gabble" telegram given
elsewhere jabbering "gibberish" in
deed. No wonder they want a com
promise. We really de think our two
eyed aristocratic friend is compromised
enough already only he never had
any character to lose.
A clause in the legislative and exec
utive appropriation bill will fix the
salary of the President at $25,000 and
accompanies it with a proyision re
pealing the section of the revised
statutes which increases the salary to
$5y,000.
No Law to Punish Persons for Making?
Dies to Counterfeit Coin.
It Is officially announced that there
is no statute under which persons can
be punished for having in their pos
session dies or moulds, by the use of
which the coin of the United States
can be counterfeited, and that in two
cities of the South at this time dies are
being made for such a purpose, and Se
cret Service operatives see the met
come and go in supervising the work,
but they are powerless to prevent the
completion of the dies. They must
wait for the overt act of stamping the
metal before the work can be stopped,
or the criminals arrested. To remedy
this a bill has been introduced by Sen
ator Sherman for the punisement of
persons making or having in their pos
session dies, molds, &c, for manufac
turing counterfeit coin of the United
States, or of any foreign country, such
persons to be punished by a finegof not
more than 85,000, and by imprisonment
at hard labor for not more than five
years. N. T. Sun.

PRO RATA.
INTERVIEWING GOT. SAUNDERS.
No "Still Hunt" any More.
Not to be behind hand the
Neb. Herald man (we don't remem
ber just what the Omaha Herald calls
us now) concluded he would do a little
interviewing for our folks the other
day. We don't like these Omaha chaps
to get all the honor and glory, and
we're tired of "still hunts" in Nebras
ka. Taking occasion to see Senatcrr-elect
Saunders the day after his reception at
Lincoln, the revolving subject of Pro
Rata was brought up and he says just
about this:
Not expecting to be an actoi nor yet
an arbiter in regard to the merits or
de-merits of the various pro rata
measures now before the people, he
fairly owned up that he had not given
the subject such careful attention as
would enable him to make a statement
that he would like te see published as
his careful, deliberate opinion. He
did not authorize all the assertions
that the Omaha interviewers chose to
draw from his remarks. He proposed
to investigate most fully and fairly,
and to give his support to such legis
lation as- was for the benefit of the
people of the State at large and that
would not work injustice to either
creat roads of the State nor to the
lesser ones. As far as he was advised
at present he thought the legislators
was competent to attend to its affairs
and the interests at stake, but it would
be well, perhaps, for committees from
both Houses to meet with the R. R
men and agree upon some equitable
legislation satisfactory to both parties
and instruct the delegation at Wash
ington to frame their action in accord
ance therewith. That would suit him
He proposed to try and represent the
people. Railroads and all, of the State,
and not any one set or clique.
There, if we haven't got .the Gev
ernor about right it is lapsus of lead
pencil and not intent.
And while on this matter we shal
state that rumors have been rife for
several days that, at a meeting held in
Council Bluffs on the second Sunday
after this legislature convened there
were present Mr. E. Perkins, Mr. Mar
quette, Mr. John Chapman, Mr. Bald
win and others prominent in Iowa pol
itics or business, and it was further re
ported that at said meeting MnPerkins
promised the Iowans that if they would
take back their telegram opposing the
Crounse bill, fcc, and get the Iowa del
egation to aid in having the legislation
the 11. M. desired passed, an agree
ment would be entered into to run the
cut off trains across the U. P. Bridge,
to Spoon Lake and under the "Quincy
decision," make the O. & S. W. the main
line of the B. & M.Rad (consolidated,,
thus cutting us entirely out and leav
ing us to one side, knocking all hopes
of a bridge here into a cocked hat, and
any other benefits we may have imag
ined we might get by supporting the
B. & M. measure.
Of course this raised a rumpus with
our business men, and all day Sunday
and the next two days, about all you
heard on the street was one version of
the pro rata measure or the other.
Wednesday morning Mr. Irving, Sup.
of the B. & M., through Mr. Iloldrege,
informs us that this rumor is entirely
and unqualifiedly false, that no such
meeting took place, and that it would
not be to the interest of the B. & M
roads to make any such combination,
neitner nave they at any time propos
ed, nor intended to propose any such
measures, or inaugurate any such line
as the one above designated. Mr. Ir
ving makes this statement flatly and
squarely. Mr. Perkins is in Washing
ton and cannot leave at present.
We always thought the pro rata
would develop something big after
awhile, guess we'll get at the truth by
and by. Now we are disposed to be
lieve Mr. Irving, because there could
really be no object in crossing on the
U. P. Bridge when they have their own
boats, or can build a much cheaper
bridge here, but we think Mr. Perkins
may learn after awhile that it would
pay to come and see our people himself,
to talk to us like whit folks and let
us know what his company really pro
pose to do. The action of the B. !t M.
towards the town since we have been
in it, has not been such as to breed con
fidence, or close business relations and
interests. No such rumors could ob
tain a moment had the managers of
the road established such friendly re
lations with the business men of the
sown ana ine i'ress or the county, as a
wise prudence would have long ago
suggested.

'HOPPERS.
TO BE KILLED.
GRASSHOPPER CONVENTION.
Notice.
. We have been requested te call a
general meeting or convention to be
held at the Court House in Platts
mouth, on
Saturday, February lOtb, 1877,
for the purpose of devising ways and
means of destroying the young hop
pers next spring, and to enable the
farmers to advise, consult, and work
together to this end.
The meeting will be called to order
at one o'clock, sharp. It is hoped that
every precinct in the county will be
represented and that some decisive
steps may be agreed upon to rid us of
these pests. The danger is imminent
and the need of combined action must
be apparent to every one. Let all then
turn out.
If we understand the object of the
above notice and meeting, it is one of
great importance to the county and
perhaps the State. It is possible and
feasible to destroy and in great meas
ure check the devastation of the young
hopper. Our Russian friends who
came from a country where they have
been pestered with them for centuries,
do not fear them. While the old hop
pers were flying over our heads two
years ago. they coolly bought land near
Sutton and prepared to settle dewn.-
Americans at the same time were flee
ing the country.
Mr. Geo. Beck, who has taken a great
interest in this matter, strongly favors
the use of machinery, and thinks that
machines have been used near Green
wood that were a success. He suggests
that if that is the case said machine
may be brought in here where all far
mers can see it on Saturday.
It is very desirable that the people
from the southern part of the county
attend this meeting as they have had
more experience with young hoppers
than any of the rest of -our people.
From Mr. Parker Wise we learn that
in '68 they hatched early in April and
matured about the first of June, and
not until the 15th were they all gone.
The last time we had them many
hatched in February, and the cold spell
killed them.
In '57 they were f-S thick as last fall
and in February of next -year there
was a warm spell followed by very wet
weather and hardly any hoppers sur
vived, that is to say, nearly all the eggs
laid in the fall of '57 were destroyed
in the spring of 'i8. From these facts
we learn that there may be some hope
for us yet from natural causes. Prov
idence, however, helps those best who
help themselves most, and it behooves
us to use ail means to insure all the
crop we can this coming year. We
had thought they might be starved
out, Mr. Beck thinks not as they would
eat trees, fences and clohes. Wheat
can be sown as late as the 10th of
April, and Oats and Barley the 15th,
with a fair prospect of a crop. Corn
will mature planted as late as July 1st.
But all these methods are of the things
we want to talk up. We must make
up our minds to burn, drown, smash,
starve, or get rid of Mr. Hopper by
some means, and strong united action
in either direction will do a great deal.
PRO RATA.
Last Wednesday Mr. Chapman intro
duced the following resolution:
Whereas, the newspapers, the con
ventions and the people of the State,
without regard to politics, have ex
pressed themselves being unanimously
in favor of the legislature providing
for a general pro rata between all the
connecting railroads of this state, and
against any action granting special and
exclusive privilege to any one or more
of these, and
Whereas, A bill has been introduc-
duced in Congress, known as the
Crounse pro rata bill, which said bill
is special in its nature, and does not
extend its benefits and advantages to
the several connecting railroads of this
State, therefore be it
Resolved, That we hereby respect
fully request our representatives in
Congress to oppose all legislation on
this subject, discriminating in favor of
any railroad in the State of Nebraska,
and against any other railroads con
necting therewith, and that they favor
and urge upn Congress such legisla
tion wiihin the limits of this State as
will conform substantially with the
following: '
Inasmuch as the construction of the
Union Pacic Railroad was a national
enterprise, inaugurated and carried to
successful completion by national aid:
therefore all business originating in
the State of Nebraska ami produced
and situated on the line of railroads
connecting with the Union Pacific rail
road, in shipment and transportation
over said Union Pacific railroad, is en
titled to equal advantages and facil
ities, without discrimination of any
kind in favor of the business of any or
either of such connecting railroads, or
of said Union Pacific railroad ; that to
effect that end said Union Pacific rail
road ought in equity and justice, to
carry such business over its line, from
whatever point leceived. at a pro rate
f its own through tanff on similar
business, the said Union Paciffc ought.
in equity and justice, to grant to the
St. Joseph and Denver. Atchison and
Nebraska, Midland Pacific, Omaha and
Northwestern railroads, and all other
railroads which may now or hereafter
connect with such connecting roads,
all the rights, piivilegas and immuni
ties in respect to rates, time and trans
portation possessed by themselves, or
either of them, in respect to the Union
Pacific railroad.
Rules suspended and the resolution
adopted.
The next day GenVan Wyck offer
ed the following, as a substitute, we
suppose.
Inasmuch as the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad was a national
enterprise, inaugurated and carried to
successful completion by national aid,
therefore, all business carried over any
ine of railroads connecting with the
Union Pacific Railroad, or any branch
of sa'd road, is and shall be in ship
ment, and transportation over said
Union Pacific Railroad or any of its
branches, entitled to equal advantages
and facilities without discrimination
of any kind in favor of the business ef
any, or either of such railroads, or of
said Union Pacific Railroad, or its .
branches. That to effect that end, said !
Union Pacific Railroad and its branch
es ought in equity and justice to carry
such business over their respective lines
from whatever point received at a pro
rata of their own through tariff on sim
ilar business. And all other railroads
which may now or hereafter connect
with the Union Pacific Railroad, or any
of its. branches or connecting lines,
shall be entitled to all rights, privileg-'
es and immunities, and be subject to
the same restrictions as to rates, time
and transportation possessed by the
said Union Pacific Railroad Company
and its branches or connecting lines.
All lines of railroad connecting with
the Union Pacific Railroad or any of
its branches, or with any road connect
ing with said Union Pacific or its
branches, shall in like manner be com
pelled to pro rate with the Union Pa
cific, its branches and with each other.
The resolution was laid over under
the rules.
The next day Mr. Howe offered this
amendment to Van Wyck's resolution.
Amend said resolution by inserting
after the words, "more of them," in the
last line of the preamble, the following:
And as opposed to the special pro rata
measure now pending before Congress,,
or any special measure that is or here
after may be pending before Congress,
granting special privileges to any rail
road or railroads.
Amendment adopted and the resolu
tions adopted as amended.
Our understanding of the thing is
that Mr. Chapman's resolutions would
confine general pro rata to Neb., and
that Van Wyck's would throw it open
to every road In the U. S., and Howe's
amendment brought it back to where
It stood before. Meanwhile Dr. Bear
introduced a resolution similar to Chap
man's in t henhouse, and so wags the
battle.
Still later we see by the telegraph,
if that is to be believed, that the whole
business is recommended to be turned
over to the Secretary oi the Interior
and the Courts. Which in our opinion
would be much better. It is or should
not be a political question, and is hard
ly a State Legislative question.
