WEEKLY TRIBUNE. F. M. & E. M. KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. HON. M. B. REESE took the oath of office and became a Judge of the Su preme Court last Thursday. On the same day Guy A. Brown was appointed to succeed himself as Supreme Court reporter , for another term of four years. THE judiciary coimuitte'e of the Tex as Legislature recommends a bill mak ing feiice cutting a felony , and the kill ing of & fence cutter , while in the act of applying nippers to a fence , justifia ble homicide. That committee is prob ably composed of men who have fenced in large ranches on the public domain , and who have become tired of repairing their barb wire fences. The fence cut ters no doubt will regard this as a very offensive measure. HENRY PAYNE , by the liberal and unstinted use of the Standard Oil Com pany's lubricating fluid , will represent the great State of Ohio in the Senate of the United States. Gentleman George , of the mighty and puissant Pendlctons , wasn't ' 'slick" enough. Thus are the men of brain and worth being super seded by those whose chief distinction is being ijpon the salaried staff of some mighty corporation , or being men of great wealth themselves. Pendleton Payne I What a Payne-ful contrast ! Too much lock and key and no fire escapes were the causes of the terrible holocaust at the Bellville convent. The building was as jealously locked at night as a penitentiary , with the difference that at the penitentiary there is an official near the door to unfasten it in an emergency. But the front doors of the convent were built too strong to be broken. The girls were locked up in their sleeping rooms , and the keys were as good as lost in the confusion of the fire. The poor girls could not get out anywhere except at high windows from whence a leap was generally fatal. It was a terrible trap. Journal. IN an article on the philosophy of labor The Philadelphia Call says : "As a rule children will expend mpre vital energy on play than they can be induc ed to on labor. They will toil and sweat building a fort or playing bat , but an armful of wood or a bucket of coal , or an errand takes the life out of them in- stanter. The reason is , one is play and the other work. But suppose the phi- osophy of work were taught them ? If they knew that the use of muscles and nerves strengthened them ; that the contest of brains with problems in arith metic or the principles of grammar tended to strengthen , there would be a fresh zest in it all. THERE are three varieties of notable polled stock , each retaining certain dis tinct characteristic , due , no doubt , in the main to the breeding , but'all retain ing many points of common excellence. As far back as history or legends of the British Isles extend these useful ani mals can be traced , and from the small , hardy beasts originally found in the northeast of Scotland care and careful breeding have produced an excellence in this type of the bovine race that is -attracting not only the attention of the Gunnison cattleman , but stock growers generally. From the locality whence the breed originally came , it is reason able to suppose they would be easily adapted to the ranges of Gunnison , and the great west , and the experiments , made with them bears out the supposi tion. . Retaining their primal constitu tion of hardiness , with a low-set , round , compact form , all the attractions of fine head , and soft hair , mellow skin and great aptitude to fatten , they have gained in proportion until they rival the largest strains in beef-producing qualities and fill , in most respects at least , the herdsman's ideal of pasture prosperity. Their introduction upon the gnjat pasture fields is as yet but little more than an experiment , but the experiment , so far , has been very satis factory. Northwestern Live Stock Journal. I ) < . [ - - - WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jnn. 15,1884. Since tie reassembling of Congress there i more uneasiness on the part of the tariff reformers and lesa apparent certainty on their part as to what they are likely to do. It is said that there are at least sixty Democrats in the House who oppose any action on the tariff this winter , and if the Republicans were united in opposition to it there could be no bill passed in either branch. But there-are tariff reformers among the Republicans and there are also others among them who think it would be policy to let the Democrats agitate the matter. Both sides are just a little "torn up , " so to speak. Mr. Morrison is uneasy abouf. Randall's activity , but he tells his friends that there must be tariff revision , and that he willfind means to make the opportunity for it. Mr. Converse comes back from Ohio with the declaration that the old duty on wool must be restored. That , lie says , is the great question in his State , and the party cannot overlook it. Other leading Democrats think the duty on wool should remain as at present. There are indications of trouble among the Southern Members , with regard to sugar. Mr. Morrison favored the reduc tion made last season. He is said to be disposed to cut the duties still further. There is division in the ranks on other qucstionsand the outlook is unfavorable for that harmonious action which was predicted by the leaders three weeks ago. The Huntingtpn letters recently pub lished have caused much talk and not a little uneasiness in Washington , and have given new interest to the presence of their' author here. He usually stops at Willard's , where he has often enter tained Congressional friends , but this winter he has taken quarters at Worm- ley's , where he can be more retired and attract less attention. It is pretty well understood what he wants here , but his long , lank , white whiskered lieutenant , Sherrill , comprehends the situation pretty well and has told Mr. Huntington - ton that he can hope for little comfort from Congress at the present time. To delay action , through Mr. Cobb's com mittee , upon land grant matters until the excitement has blown over is all they are going to fight for this winter. The inside history of this fight between the Texas Pacific and Central Pacific companies is not generally understood. "Tom" Scott , with his usual genius , had seen how to strike across the Southern States to Texas , and thence by a short line below the range of snow blockades to the Pacific Ocean to San Diego. The Central Pacific monopolists felt their danger , and , acquiring a franchise through Arizona , ran out with all pos sible speed what they called a Southern Pacific road from San Francisco to meet ind head off the Texas Pacific. They irere using the resources gained by their previous monopoly , and to compete with hem on anything like equal terms it RSLS necessary to invoke the aid of Con fess by a guarantee of interest on jonds. Here was where Huntington lad the inside track , for it put his lob- ) ies and newspapers 'in the attitude of virtuously fighting against subsidies and n favor of an "unsubstdized , " road , riz. , the Southern Pacific , which really injoyed the benefit of previous subsidies . o the Central. So great is my confi- . lence in Scott's ability , that I think he vould have succeeded if his health had tot broken dow.n , and death already laid ts finger upon his energies. The Texas Pacific never got beyond the State line , nd Huntington has carried out his dans until , somewhat like the tradi- ional American eagle , he dips one hand n the Pacific at Frisco and the other in he Chesapeake at Newport News. DOM PEDRO. te ; JAMES NUTT , who deliberately shot nd killed the seducer of his sifater and he murderer of nis father at Union- c < Dwn , Pennsylvania , has been taken to 'ittsburgh. His trial .commences this B reek and will probably result in a ver- R ict of justifiable homicide under aggra- atinprcircumstances. . And the public enerally will endorse the verdict. NEBRASKA Cmis at present evi dently the drinking man's paradise. The News with swelling pride says that notwithstanding the fact that a saloon license in this city costs § 500 , Henry Frohlich , who keeps a saloon under the Barnum house , has given notice'that he will sell beer at two glasses for five cents and whisky ten cents straight. Now , one of the other saloon keepers for there are fifteen of them in the city , proposes to sell his goods the same , arid throw in a loaf of bread. Another pro poses to give prizes for each drink , 'while another proposes to give away a sack of flour for every one hundred drinks sold. It is hard to tell where the war will end. Gazette-Journal.
