TKEMEII , the Pennsylvania wonder , won the sculling race from Itoss of St. Johns , Saturday , making the fastest time on record , and doing some phe nomenal rowing. Tcemer's star is as suming proportions in the aquatic world. THE receipts of the post-office depart ment for the year 188-J , will be about $2,000,000 less than in 1883 , owing to the reduction of letter-postage from three to two cents. The post-office au thorities regard the showing as satis factory. Tin : proposed amendment to the Constitution of Nebraska , creating a railroad commission , which will come before the people , this fall , the Omaha Bee thinks must be defeated , and should it be as efficient as Iowa's railroad commission , the Bee is liirht. Tin : Hastings Gazette-Journal has been reduced in size from an 8-column to a 7-column folio. It is never well to bite off more than can be masticated and digested properly. Better start lower down on the ladder , and work up , than start too high and tumble down. THE London courts have decided that a man cannot keep in his yard dogs which bark and howl , or cocks which crow at early morn ; nor can man or woman hang parrots out of the windows , or hand-organ fiends play when com plaint is made against them. The at tention of Omaha officials is called to this decision. We might as well have thq thing unanimous. llcpublican. GEN. BUTLER announced at the Grecly reception at Portsmouth on Monday that the North Pole belonged to the United States and that somebody would got there sooner or later to hoist the American flag on its tip" . Wonder if we couldn't persuade the General to take charge of an expedition , to camp out and approach it by slow degrees , as he suggests ? It would be a health } ' occupation. Work in the open air would renew Ben's youth. THE Constitutional A in e n d m c n t which comes up for adoption or rejec tion at the election , this fall , provides that the bi-ennial sessions of our Leg islature shall be increased from 40 to GO day ? , and increases the pay of mem bers from 3 per day to $300 for the session , or $5 fu-r day. That this amendment .shall be adopted is devout ly to be wished for , as the present re muneration is a mere pittance. Three dollars will not pay a man's board at i first-class hotel , not to speak of ' numerousincidentals" we will not mention. The sum now received by our representatives is entirely too insignificant. Jin. HEXDUICKS docs not hesitate to ay that just before Mr. Lincoln was issassinatecl lie assured him of his grat itude for his assitance in crushing out the rebellion. That is. to be explicit , Mr. tlcndrioks did not tliank Mr. Lin- joln for putting down the rebellion , but v.Ir. Lincoln , whom Mr. Hendricks not eng before had said must be "switched nit of the White House with a bundle ) f switches" ' before 'the country could je saved , thanked Mr. Ilendricks for Hitting down the rebellion. There is . 10 doubt that of all the jokes honest > ld Abe ever perpetrated in the whole : ioursc of his life he must have consid- : sred this his best. In fact , it is such a one that we shall have to ask for G he papers. Journal. n ' THE intention of the British govern- ncnt to devote 150,000,000 to build up railroads in India , so as to get the . ' i-li3at of Llindostan to market , and the act that that cereal can be raised by heap labor there and brought to Eng- and at a lower rate than our farmers ! an afford to sell it. is another warning hat the dependence of our fanners nist be upon a home market. India rhcat will never compete in the market 11 f the United Slates with American heat. With a proper diversification f industries , such as is sought to be stabKshed by the American system of rotcction to home labor , no foreign larkct will be necessary except in cases here the special products of this coun- : y can not be duplicated abroad. We rise too much wheat now , and the at- jntion of the farmers should be turn- ' j , in this part of the counhy , to corn , ogs , cattle and shec-p. Those arc crops ' tat cannot be much affected by the jmpetition of the cheap labor of Eu- pe or Asia. Journal. Ax interesting point has been raised by a Fremont saloon keeper who was sued by an Omaha firm for $040 , due for liquors and cigars. The defendant admitted that he owed § 143 for cigars , but denied that he was indebted for the balance , which was for liquor , because , as he claims , the Omaha house had no license. The matter was taken under advisement by the court. Tf it should be decided by the courts that a debt for liquor can not be collected by a whole sale liquor house unless it has a license , it will settle the question as to whole sale liquor licenses , as no wholesaler would then attempt to do business with out a license. This very question of the exemption of wholesale liquor dealers from the high license law is now before the supreme court , and will probably come up for final decision in a few da's. A CJALiroiixiA man died fifteen years ago in a state of exhilaration from drinking the red wine of that famous state. His ghost has just returned from the great beyond and informed a friend still in the flesh that he was still drunk , that as he went into the spirit land so he was yet. Now if this is true it is a terrible revelation. If a fellow dies from starvation he must wander through realms of space for fifteen years at least with the torture of death in his stomach. If he be sped away by the kick of a mule , his somersaults will be continued like those of wonderful Tom Twist , spinning and spinning still. Should he be sent into the atmosphere by an explosion and the spirit flee while the body is ascending , the departed must go on ur > and up for fifteen years , until at last the bottom of a strawberry box would have a successful rival ; or if the descent had began before the vital spark were extinguished , the soul would go on falling and falling until it would be qualified to sound the depths of personal journalism. The more this thing of the beyond is opened up the less attraction there is about it. The plain duty of mankind is to live as lon as possible and then depart in an order ly and pleasant way. Topics. OXE of the curious things about the present political canvass is the brillian cy with which it lights up the Xew York crime < of 1882 when Charles J. Folgcr was so ignominiously beaten in the canvass for the Governorship. The Inter Ocean is informed that the Ee\v Mr. Ball and the Rev. Mr. Mitchell both of whom are now bearing such im portant and earnest testimony against Mr. Cleveland's character showing its moral worthlessness were most entlmsi- actically for that gentleman in 1882. It is said that Dr. Ball departed so far from his usual custom as to stand at the polls and peddle Cleveland tickets on election day , while Dr. Mitchcl pray ed for his success against Folgcr. It is not the intention of this paragrap ] to throw doubt on the veracity of thcs gentlemen or discredit the stones thc now tell , for we fully believe them , bu to point out to the world the extreme ! } embarrassing position the high-toncc kickers are most apt to be placed in G rover Cleveland was just as unfit a man for an honest voter's ballot in 1882 is he is now. while everybody admitb that Judge Folgcr is one ofthc purest men New York has given to public life yet these same gentlemen were then lee pure to vote for Folgcr , and laborcc ind voted and prayed for Cleveland. Very true it undoubtedly is that then .hey did not know of this speci-il feat- ire in Cleveland's character. Xevcr- heles ? it was known in Buffalo , and he whole history of the affair , legal loctiments and all , was in the ofiicc of me of the republican journals of that ; ity , ready to be printed , but Folgcr's 'ricnds refused to have it done. They aw the madness of the opposition to ' 'olger , and let it have its own way. The 'oil } ' and scandal of it is now seen , and lot many of the actors in it , it is safe to ay , will repeat its like. If we were to raw any lesson from this ifc would be hat ministers , college professors and iicn of that character are poor judges f public men and most unwise guides 11 public affairs. The practical things f life they lose sight of in pursuit of lieories , and to rebuke friends whom liey think have erred the } ' join the ausc of the common enemy. Scnti- icnt , passion and prejudice arc too apt 3 be the moving causes of their politi- al action. For guides in faith and cd- cation the } * certainly should have the reference , but for opinions of men and ubhc affairs we give preference to 'lose who mingle with the world and \ ave given such matters special study. -Inter Ocean. TIIK total number of patents granted > r agricultural inventions is 35.000. 1 GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS finds it mighty cold weather in his new politi cal relations. He reminds us of the small boy in Arkansas whom a neighbor ' met one severe winter day riding to mill ( on horseback in the old fashioned way. j The little fellow was very thinly clad , the wind whistled through his tow trousers , his lips were blue , his nose red and his teeth were chattering. The ; neighbor was moved to compassion and suggested , "Why don't you get down and walk and lead your horse till you get warm ? " The little fellow crushed back his sobs and replied , "It's a berried boss , an' I'll r-r-ridc 'im cf I f-f-fr- freeze ! " George William will ride his borrowed horse if it freeze him. Topics. ONCE in a while a combined effort of the newspaper correspondents concen trated on one man makes or breaks him. It is riot denied that they both made and broke Coif ax , and that they have broken Kcifer. However , it is pretty apparent from these tAvo specimen-cases , the most prominent in our political his tory , that the man that the newspaper correspondent makes or breaks isn't very much of a fellow. Col fax and Keifcr , as they appear in perspective , do no great credit to their makers or breakers. They arc small jobs. As statesmen they rank pretty much in the same line with the great generals made by newspaper correspondents dur ing the war. No first-class general emerged from the conflict who had been into the "am puffed notoriety by press bassadors , " and no first-class general was eventually injured by the attacks of the same gentlemen. The power of the correspondent to make and break reputations is subject to well defined limitations. THE finny over the Texas cattle fever in western Nebraska and Kansas , has subsided and there is a feeling of grca relief , not only in this state , but in tin whole country , that it was a false alarm There is really nothing strange abou the appearance of disease 'among sucl vast herds of cattle as arc grazing 01 the plains. It would indeed'be strange if great herds of cattle mingling togeth er and exposed to the inclemency of the weather and changes ot climate , should always remain healthy. They comba the severest winter storms without shel ter and often without food , and suffer the torrid heat of summer without a wholesome or even a sufficient supply of water. And when in the perpetual struggle for existence some animal , afflicted with disease , mingles closely with the healthy , it is but natural that among the thousands that come in con tact with the diseased animal some of weaklings arc in condition to take the infection. Just as soon however as the proper precaution is exercised and the diseased animals arc cither killed or iso lated , the danger of contagion is avert ed and the ravages of the plague" are confined within narrow limits.

WEDNESDAY of last week Mr. W. Kinney , of Hitchcock county , Nebraska , passed through Brush with seventy head of three-year-old mares , two young half- breed Norman studs , several harness and saddle horses and six milch cows , lie was looking for a stock range where "grangers" were not too numerous. This , he said , was the cause of his leav ing Nebraska. The time is rapidly approaching when horses and cattle which now run loose on the range , will have to be herded. This will bring about a change in ihe class of cattle now on the range ; the grade will be higher. Brush Lariat. ADVICE TO KOTHEES.
