The people and press of Xew York seem to be taking it quite coolly, averring that as long as they remain quai relling over Ji speak er the Legislators are prevented irom passing any new laws or tampering with the old ones, both of which bene fits the people w ;:d lik" to probMiu indenaitely.

There are no grwat questions of policy discussed, i.o attempt to serve the people made, and a man with ideas of government outside of getting his maN or his party throug.i, would be as lost In most legislatures, as he Is in in Congress in fact. Don't yu think you were a little off about that Wheeler matter an way, Mr. Journal V What indication of character, cr even of preference for Mr. Wheeler or any other citizen of i'lattsmouth, could a little tquib abwut Wheeler and Furnas have, when the aaid squib was written on Tuesday ev ening, at our house, after a pleasant discussion over th services of both oien in the cause of Agriculture, and only as a friendly notice to both, when it wa well known it could not appear in print until Thursday, after the mat ter of the Secretaryship was decided, and when the opinion of this editor could have no effect one way or the other? There is uo "on the fence" about that, and the fellow that ran up staim to stuff you witn that taffy, knew bet ter when he told you, and knew that whenever m our opanon it was neces sary to take a stand for or against a man. a cause or a principle, the Her- ale has been found firm as a rock, as more Uan one committee have found. You mustn't be stuffed so easily, Bro. 6. Why, we went over to Olenwood the other day, and they told us there you weren't much of an editor, or man ager, either; but we didn't rush over here and tell everyone. We let it go in one ear and out the other. It just slipped off the pencil now by mistake. Eight of the nine "auti-monoplist members of the New York legislature ride between Albany and home twice a week on railroad passes, and there is a howl made about it. But the people should stop and think. As aMi-ino-nopolists they certainly couldn't allow the other members of the legislatuto a monopoly of such a handy conveni- nee as a railroad pass. Lincoln Journal. , The Universit j Trouble. On one of the clear ami beautiful dava of last week- wIimi ibis uinrpr weather of last summer, was at. its primesr, suddenly and without warn ing a cloud no bigger than .a nevsp;i pel's half stick full of telegraphic mat ter spread over the "horizon of the state, and a perfect hurricane has been sweeping over the educational and re ligious sky of Nebraska ever since. The little telegram that caused this storm said that at a meeting of the licgei.ts held in Lincoln, last week, Professors Church, Woodbury and Emerson had been invited to ceare their labors and quit the chairs they respectively occupy. - As these are the three liberal or so called broad gauge teachers in the University and it has long been known that an irreconcilable conflict had been going on in that institution, it was thought at first the Regents had mere ly endeavored to make peace . at some price and render the institution harmonious by lopping off , one ele ment of discord. Viewed from this point we were disposed to stand with ths Kegents on general principles, that is to say, the people having elected theta to manage the affairs of the University in the way thought best, (heir authority ought to be supported, for we do not believe in placing men in power by a vote of the people and then at the first attempt to exercise thai power hailing. them with curses because it is not what we would have done in like case. - The recent re-election of Fitleld, against his protest, and knowing his views, might setni. to indicate that the people had made up their minds which element in the University was best approved; and the Regents seeing that a removal of one portion of the facul ty or the other was necessary to har mony, hud takfii their course as a Iwsdy to solve the difficulty. Had this proven to be the case and had such removal been made at the proper time and the proper way we should most certainly approved and endorse their action ; but later facts seem to show that only a portion of the Regents were present at the time this action was taken, and that Regent Gannett was sick in Omaha and not in Linculn at all. Action, the consequence of which affect the state so widely, and on which tiie welfare of the foremost public institution of the l;ite, de pends should not be taken in this manner. A full board and a free trial were indespensible in a matter of so much importance. If an heroic remedy was needed and could have been applied at once in the tismisaal of these professors there might be reason for the actio?) of a por tion of the board, but at best the men cannot be dismissed till the end of the xnnual term, so that all this hubbub and fealing Is created for no use. and to the great injury of the students and the future of the university. The only course left, in our opinion, is to dismiss the entire faculty and start over anew. On the religious as pect f this quarrel we shall not dwell or criticise further un'il we hear from the Regents, and know their side of the question, John "IJird" Finch is discussing prohibition with Rev. C. C. Burnett, at Lincoln, III. People that wav don't know ' Birdie" as well as they do in Nebraska. P. Journal, Jan. SOtli. The editor of this paper had quite a long talk with f!en. Bowen, at the en cainpiti?nt meeting last week, and he assured us that, while he disagreed with Mr. Finch in many tiling j and outside of and off the platform as a speaker he did not approve of his judg ment, he was yet satisfied that the Birdie" letter was i gross forgery, and his (Bowen's)name aa a witness tr) that matter was used without his con sent. Finch, he continued, made mis takes enough, without accusing 1dm falsely of the lusts of the flesh, to which ha was not given. We are a little on the fence about this Fjch matter, and not so positive as we were about the Sun editorials, but as we have been accused of doing Mr. F. an injustice, and to comfort our Journal brother, we give the bpye for what it is worth. Uood LdiUug. As we went out to Ashland, Satur day evening, we crammed two New York Sung r.lQ 'jr pocket to read at leisure moments. Among ths titorials in the Sun we read the following: It seems that the whole position of the Republican press throughout the latw canvass was too false to stand the test of a quarrel within the party lines. Th6j l;aye shewn what respect they actually enteitajnJ for tLe character of their candidate, since, u,cre! for the sake of gratifying a little animosi ty, they do not hesitate to till the coun try with the recorded ciiticisms of prominent journals of their own party, sorfli9 of them copied from public doc uments, that ;yould be enough to blast the fairest reputation ii.it jjmv man ever gained a right to." Then we struck some little pieces about "Louisa Alcott," "Gov. Gear, of Iowa,""Secretary Hunt," and the"Con fjEcalion of 'Punch in Berlin," which looked so featur!, n4 vye wera so pos itive we had read before, that fn ama; ment we turned the Sun over to see the date. We certainly had not read that Sun, so we scratched our head and thought where we could have seen those artuiU, Suddenly we were posi tive we read them iu tho JifTJlof, it Plattsmiuth, just before we left home, and no credit attached. The Journal was dated the 28th of January, the Sun the 23th; but the difference in time between hsis and New York ac counts for it. We are posit I w about this, and not "on the fence," and shal send a marked espy to Mr. Daifa at once, to let him know how glad weary he copies, so extensively from our lit tle I'lattsmoutn joumai. e are re joiced to know this.' Who saya we do not support "a citizen of our town" when he does anything smart? Fkom St. Joe papers we learn of the death of Mrs. warts, wife of Rev. A. J. Swarts, who is well known here, j Gen.

Tub resolution of the Alllanae meet ing at Hastings in regard to Congress man Valentine is unjust. Col. Majors was duly nominated by the Republi can party of this State twiee as Con tingent Congressman, with the sup- pert and approval of a large number of Democrats. Mr. Majors has never received any pay, any subscription, any money of any kind, but has gone to Washington winter after winter at his own expense, and tried to obtain the seat the people behind him thought the State ought to have. This paper individually, has express ed its opinion of his claims.but we are not the people, and Congressman Val entine would not represent the con stituency who sent him there, did he not press Col. Majors claims to a seat. If the Republican Convention made a mistake, that is not Valentine's- or Majors' fault. Both men are carrying out the expressed wilt of this State as made known by a large and over whelming majority vole, and we should have a poor opinion of a Congressman who would go back on his State after such action. It may be proper to men tion here that Col. Majors lias waived all back pay and emoluments, and only asks that the people of Nebraska may be fully represented, according to their true population, in the future. Avoca, the new town on the M.

One of the most objectionable forms of railroad bribery was brought into prominence a few days ago in New York City. It is a part of the duty of the District Attorney to keep an eye on all coroner's inquests. District At torney McKeon was about to send an assistant with the coroner who was to preside over the Spuyten Duyvil dis aster inquest when a pas.3. good for a year over any of tl;a Vanderbilt raad3 was handed him. The pass came from Chauncey Depew, the attorney of the New York -Central road. Mr. KcKeou ordered its return at once, and indignantly denounced its tender as an attempt to bribe him from the performance of his public duties. The practice of tendering passes to cifric;;!s js said to Le as common iu New Voi k 44 it Us in $braska. Ex. And yet this same Chauncey Depew was the candidate of nearly all the so called anti-monopoly papers for U. S.

GILBERT, of Cass county, beirg called for. said that he had beem in Nebraska for six years, and for four ol them hajl beep working -villi his neighbors, urging them to array themselves against the oppressions of monopolies. When the legislature met in 1881 lie went to Liucoln with a petition, but found, upon consulting with Mr. Eaton, editor of The Lincoln Globe, then gpnsjderet one of he organs of the alliance, .hat he ws in advance of Mr. Eaton in his views" " He believed that a public sentiment against, monopolies could be success fully created, but the organization of a political party was a slow and expen sive process. Four thousand million dollars are arrayed against the alliance and that sum cannot be successfully fought by ten cent contributions.' In Cass county there are 6,000 peo ple who have no interest in favor of the 'alliance. If we are forced into an independent party we are killed dead as a mackerel. The railroads are robbing Cass county of $400,000 annu-illy in . passtuger' and freight PVer and iibpte a ratp yhicb would return an interest of from 10 to 23 per cent, which is a great deal more money than farmers are making mi their investments. He thought the passenger rate should be reduced to 2 cents per mile, and he wanted the freight tai iff reduced two-thirds. . The support of the press of the state is a very important matter to the alliance, and the attempt to form It Tfiierance a separate party now might deprive the alliance of that support, If Mr. Rosewater, of The Bee, were present, he would like to know - what position his paper would take in case an inde pendent party were "formed. To fight without newspapers would be like attempting to carry on war with out arms or ammunition. A short report by Secretary Bur rows, giving a history of the alliance was then read; we cull the following from its statements: (The alliance was formed a little ever a year ago at Liucoln. Three hundred subordinate alliances have been organized since having a membership of about 12.000. The Alli ance now has active organizations in ten .states with state alliances in eight, containing probably a membership of about 30,000. There are at present 332 chartered alliances in Nebraska of which Fillmore and Clay counties have the largest number, 24 and 20 res pectively. These are scattered in 41 counties, twenty-three counties as yet having none. Suggestions as to meth ods of organizing new alliances were given. Addresses were given by II. C. Oster baut of Merrick, Edward Rosewater, II. Vance of Seward, and others. L. C. Floyd of Hamilton sang an original song to the air "Pull for the Shore,' which was ordered printed in the pro ceedings. Among those attending the conven tion from Cass Co. were E. S. Gilbert, A. O. Barden, D. ' D. Johnson. E. .S. Gilbert was made' a" member of the committee on resolutions;' T. B.

During Thursday's session the news of Guiteau's conviction was received, which evoked expressions of satisfac tion, and three cheers were given for the jury. A series of resolution were ' adopted advocating; The control of corporations by the state which created them; Laws compelling transportation companies to base their charges upon cost and risk of service, with a fair profit added ; Railroad commissions to see that these laws are enforced; A liberal policy towards our water ways; A prohibition of free passes; The reservation of the public lands for actual settlers ; Currency, the measure of. values. whether metallic or paper, equal to coin and issued and controlled by the government only ; The benefits of postal systems in other countries to be adopted in U.
