E'remonitioiiN.
Before any great event in nature
takes place there is more or less
warning of what U to come. The
earth shakes and quakes before tho
belching volcano overwhelms with
its hot vomit, the surrounding-country.
The storm that comes in its
fury and strikes .down houses and,
forests in its path "never docs so
without giving some sign of its
coming, even to the casual observer,
saying nothing of the knowing gaze
which sees the fall of the barometer,
and thus becomes certain of the
coining of the storm, if uot of the
extent of its destructive power.
Thus come, also, revolutions among
mankind. No great change iu tho
material or moral conditions of a
community has transpired without
a long train of events gradually
leadiug up to it. Illustrations will
occur to every reader of history. To
the observant eye nothing comes
unexpectedly tho general tendeucy
of the human barometer is plain to
the inspection of all, and what are
the signs of the times? What has
the immediate future in store for
us? Is the prospect fair?
lie who can uot answer these
questions favorably to America has
uot, it seeni3 to us, seen things as
they are.
Politically, patrons have nothing
to fear ; the reactionary party may
possibly -endeavor to steal another
state or two, with or without the
consent of the more conscientious of
their adherents, but tho event will
be dull, dead, flat failure, because
Americans are uot fools or cravens.
The party which substitutes tricker
ies, lies and frauds for ballots, will
not thus secure the approval of the
body of American citizens, because
they love fair play and honest deal
ing. The political sky looks fair
enough.
Iu a business way, the situation is
better than the most sanguine dared
hope a year ago. America now is
taking the lead. Trade, commerce,
manufactures aro reviving soon tho
hungry mouths will all have been
fed, and the idle hands kept busy at
remunerative employment. The
ambitious class iu our eastern states
who desire to better their condition
will now find readier sale for their
property, and thousands such will
seek tho newer, cheaper and belter
lands of the west in the next few
years. There is an abundanco of
money, seeking profitable invest
ment aud must find it, making waste
places productive, and developing
the resources of tho country. The
business outlook is good, and wc
shall all share it according to our
respective capacities for business.
But there is one thing in this line, as
merchants say, that is to be righted,
and that is, the transportation ques
tion. Business men must cease to
be subject to the whims and caprices
of railroad monopolists, who vary
tho prices of transportation at their
own sweet will ; the producer on one
hand, and the consumer on the other
must not much longer be outraged
by tho fact that the lion's share ol
the pioducls of tho country goes
into the coffers or the railrond kings,
giving to the latter great and greater
luxury, case and wealth, and to the
former more toil, care and worry to
kepp even. The indications are
numerous that tho people every
where arc being roused to the Im
portance of tho problem, and there
is no doubt but the railroad auto
crats are making common cause
against the people, and are now
planning, scheming, working to di
vert public attention, to divide pub
lic counsels, to distract the public
mind, and at the last will, if possible,
by fair means or foul, thwart the
public desire. If neither of the bills
now before congress becomes law,
the people will find men who will
voice their desire, enact their will
into law, and enforce Us enactments
iu the letter and in -the spirit.- A
noble sentiment, dear to American
hearts, equality before the law, must
bo a political principle, and the ques
tion of transportation be settled
upon the solid basis of right and
justice. Railroads are public high
ways, aud must be made to subserve
public usees. The people now are
only divided in opinion as to how
this shall be effected. National leg
islation is inevitable, and railroad
corporations may as well accept that
fact, and make the moBt of it. If
not, tbey must prepare for thefurth
est extreme, namely,' the exercise of
the right of eminent domain, "tho
right which the people or govern
ment retain over the estates of indi
viduals, to resume the satno for
public use." People can bo coaxed
into forget fulness, but they can also
be goaded into the exercise of an
extreme remedy for the removal
of an evil.
Leonard Case, Cleveland's eccen
tric bachelor and millionaire, com
mitted suicide one night last week
by an overdose of chloroform, and
was. found dead ou the floor of his
sleeping room. In his own peculiar
way, while living, he distributed
thousands upon thousands of dollars
in charity. It appears he left a trust
deed, by which he has conveyed to
his attorney property estimated to
bo worth $1,250,000, tho income from
which is to be applied to tho establish
ment of a school to be called "Case's
school of applied science." He was
a good scholar and poet, and it is
claimed that his peculiar eccentrici
ties grow out of a disappointment
in a love affair when he wag young,
with a beautiful and charming girl,
whom ho failed to win, and ever
after he smiled Dot upon woman.

In the senate Mr. Locke read a
protest from the republican members
against the senate proceeding. The
secretary refused to entertain the
motion. The government and coun
cil then appeared aud the oaths were
administered.
Senator Locke renewed his motion
but the secretary would not enter
tain it. In the House Mr. Hale
claimed certain elected members of
the House from cities arc not on the
roll and moved they be included.
Objections being made to the mo
tion from the other side, the assist
ant clerk ruled the motion out of
order, and refused to put it, there
upon republicans withdrew. Mr.
Hale again raised the point of no
quorum but was again ovcrrulcd.and
thus the great fraud in the count
was consummated. It is claimed,
ou the other hand, that the house
and senate were organized in ac
cordance with the constitution of
tho State, and that a full quorum in
both houses were present and took
the required oath of office. After
the organization of the Legislature,
Gov. Garcelou said ho now put into
their hands the opinion of the su
preme court, as well as the petition
of gentlemen from certain cities,
claiming seals, aud invoked their
careful consideration of the same.

evidences of indebtedness, which the
county treasurer may have been au
thorized to receive from his pro
cessor in office, with the
amonnt of any additional assess
ments made after the delivery of
any tax list ; with the amount of any
additional penalty added to the tax

Judge Ball, of Zauesvillc, Ohio,
recently rendered a decision in an
injunction case of much interest to
trades-union men. A glass manu
facturing company brought twenty
four Belgian workmen to take the
place of a like number of men that
they had discharged. Ellbrts were
made to induce the Belgians to break
their contract. Judge Ball refused
to modify fife temporary injunction,
and ordered that the discharged men
must not in any way attempt to pro
cure the annulment of the contract
of the Belgians, or enter the premi
ses or converse with them to induce
them tc leave their employers, until
the expiration of their contract,
which runs three years. After a full
review of the case, the judge con
cluded by saying that he had no
doubt that the union represented in
this case was in conflict with the
laws of the State and of tho United
States.

The Press delivers some good ad
vice to the editors at other places,
meaning, probably, Schuyler, Grand
Island, Fremont, &c, who seem to
be very jealous of the towns along
the Lincoln & Northwestern route.
After staling that the cars are at
David City, the Press proceeds
to say :
"Wo will just say to Schuyler and
some other third rate hamlets,whosc
newspaper vaporings have become
rather annoying, that Jay Gould
hasn't got control of the A. & N.,
yet. It still has a strong connection
with tho, Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, and other rumor, equally as
pood as that "rumor" of the Omaha
Republican, says that tho A. & N.
has made a new and permanent con
nection to St. Louis. Brethren, don't
allow your jealousy to make you
foolish. We know you are sorry for
us, but we hope you won't perspire
over it."
The charge of libel, brought
against Richard Smith, of the Cin
cinnati Gazette, was dismissed in
the police court by the prosecuting
attorney, on tho ground that a crim
inal charge cannot lie against a cor
poration, Mr. Smith being charged
as a representative of the Cincinnati
Gazette Co.

Editor Journal:--In looking
over the stock problem by Mr Zicg

rors to which allow mc to call at

as stock usually runs in herds they,
begin to bear at two years, whicli
will make the different showing I
give below. The first calf will have
only 7 calves intcad of 8, and those
following one less down to the
sixth, which will have 2 instead of
3, a'ud the seventh making the count
so far 3S, which is 6 less. Then the
first calf's calf will have 4 instead
of 5, aud so ou through, the fifth not
having any, will make the account
thus far stand 4S, which is 11 less.
Again, if the first calf's calf's calf
would have 2, the second call 's
calf's calf would have 1, but I can't
so figure it, and thus cut oil one
more, making 49 as total, instead of
61. Now for the two-year olds, all

As everything iu regard to the
new road will he interesting to our
readers, we give the following from
the Lincoln Journal of the Sth :
The Stockholders of the Lincoln
& Northwestern Itailroad Company,
met at the office of Galcy & Abbott
yesterday, and elected the following
gentlemen Directors, to serve lor
the ensuing year: Nathan Thayer,
Nathan Thayer, Jr., Charles Mer
riam, Geo. 0. Shalt ock, Charles S.
Young, Thoin:i5 P. Beal, and II. II.
Iluinwoll, all of Boston, Massachu
setts. The same gentlemen conti
nue the Board ol Directors of the
A.&N. It. R. Co.
Each ot the above named gentle
men received the vote of a majority
of the stockholders represented at
the meeting, and all tho acts and
doings of the Board of Directors
heretofore had anil done were unan
imously confirmed and verified.
The meeting was a live one, and al
though but few of the stockholders
were present there was manifested
a great degree of interest in the pri
vileges of the meeting.
The people of Lincoln may feel
assured that the A. & N. mean bus
iness and intend to manage its own
business independent of all other
companies. We are not at liberty
to mention all we heard said and
done at the meeting of the stock
holders, but our readers will not be
surprised if the Lincoln & North
western, the connection with the A.
Ss N., does not prove to be one of
our greatest benefits.
The people of Seward, Butler and
Platte counties may rest easy. They
will have a competing line of road
if wo arc not woefully deceived.

PuEtiLO, Col., January 7 Twelve
Ute Indians in charge ol Lieutenant
Taylor, of the Ninth cavalry, with
ten men arrived here to-day and
went east immediately on the Atch
ison, Topcka & Santa Fe road. They
had ordered dinner at the Union
Depot hotel, but seeing so large a
crowd of pale faces destroyed their
appetites andlhey went aboard the
'train -nt once aud'Ieft without eat
ing. Between two and three thous
and people were at the depot to see
the savages. "Hang the red devils,"
"shoot the murdering fiends," and
like expressions were frequently
heard from a portion of the crowd,
and they were pcltqd with stones
and coal by some boys who had
taken a position on a coal train ou a
nde track. The Indians were terror
strickcu aud completely cowed. A
move was on foot in the morning to
organize live hundred men aud
lynch the savages, but cooler coun
sels prevailed, and tho citizens de
termined to let the Indians pass
without injury. Had there been any
injudicious action taken by the
troops or Indians, no power could
have restrained the mob from lynch
ing them. Had Douglas or any of
the Indians engaged in murdering
and outraging the Meeker family
been aboard, no power could have
saved them.
