The Lincoln Journal is our au
thority for saying that a construc

ahead at the rate of a mile a day
until completed. The citizens of
Lincoln have juit cause to be proud
of their railroad facilities.
G. W. Bain has been lecturing on
temperance in Lincoln, and is ad
ducing some original arguments.
Mr. Bain is doscribed as a splendid
orator, taking his audiences captive.
We give a passage from one of his
addresses as reported by tho Lincoln
Journal, containing a fact too little
known and appreciated : But some
say, "Let a mail be a raau, and stop
when he is hurling himself." Ho
hated to say it, but it was hard to
Bave some men. Thore were some
whom all the pledges in the world
would not save. Some men will
drink till they die. He gave excel
lent illustrations of this statement.
Tom Marshall said, "I would take
hold of that red-hot iron and hold it
in my hands if it would cure me
from my appetite for liquor." And
yet poor Tom Marshall died a
drunkard. So with Dick Yates.
God pity tho poor men bonnd with
this terrible chain. Some men had
no sympathy for them, but ho thank
ed God for the late temperance
movement which had developed so
much genuine sympathy for the
poor drunkard." He gave a true and
a laughable illustration of this. He
cited the fight of Luther Benson
with the demon of an inherited ap
petite for liquor. God pity these
men, and good pcoplo, vote it out of
the reach of these men. He would
be willing to leave this whole thing
in the hands of the drunkards to
morrow, and they would vote it out
of existence almost unanimously.
He gave a neat illustration of this.
These men do want to quit. But
sometimes good people won't let
them. Ben Cassidy of Louisville, a
smart man and a druukard, walked
up and cat his vote for prohibition,
and right behind him came a leading
citizen and voted for the liquor trade.
We must vote as we pray, or quit
praying as we do. What we want
in this country is more honesty as
workers.
A Bill to Equalize Honiefltemls.
Iu the Senate of the United States,
January 20, 1880, Mr. Paddock fisfcsil
and, by unaniinousccijfB'ent, obtain
ed lcave.4o-bfing in the following
ViTI I ; which was read twice and re
ferred to the Committee on Public
Lands :
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States iri Conyress assem
bled, That every person entitled,
under tho provisions of section
twenty-two hundred and eighty
nine, chapter five, Revised Statutes
of the United States, to enter u
homestead, who may have hereto
fore entered, or may hereafter enter,
under tho homestead laws, a quan
tity of land less than one hundred
and sixty acrcB, shall be permitted
to enter so much land as, when
added to tho quantity previously
entered, shall not exceed one hun
dred and sixty acres: Provided,
That when, such additional entry
cannot be made of lauds contiguous
to the original entry of tho appli
cant, he may select other lands else
where, but ho shall not bo entitled
to a patent therefor without satis
factory proof to the General Land
Offico ot the planting and continuous
cultivation of forest or fruit trees ou
an area of the same equal to one
acre for each forty acres thereof
during a period of three years.
Compressed food seems destined
to work a wonderful change in the
affairs of life, making it possible for
a man to carry quite a supply with
him. Canned fruits and vegetables
have for years been in vogue, but, if
the compression of vegetables, and
the condensation of various articles,
can be done at little comparative
cost, it will probably bo the pre
vailing method in the futuro, as the
cost of transportation will be re
duced to the lowest. The London
Times has recently attracted atten
tion to this subject by mentioning a
few of tho latest achievements. A
"horse-biscuit" has been used by
troopers ou the continent, one man
carrying in his haversack a week's
rations for his horse. Tho British
soldiers in South Africa were sup
plied with tin cylinders weighing
an ounce and a half each, yet con
taining a soldier's meal. Think of
it I sixty-five pounds supplying a
meal for a thousand men !
CoBsolidntloa
A meeting of the stockholders of
tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
R. R. Co. has been called for the
28th of Feb. at Chicago "for tho pur
pose of considering and acting upon
a contract to consolidate with it, in
a form to be asreed upon the rail
road stock, property and franchises
of the Burlington and Missouri river
Railroad Company in Nebraska, and
also to consider and act upon a ree
olntion of tho board to increase
under the provisions ot your charter
tho capital stock of the company to
the extent thought necessary for the
purpose of such consolidation, and
for the transaction of any other bus
iness incident thereto."
Too much meaningless talk among
politicians as to who will be the
next republican candidate for presi
dent. Politicians always try hard to
manufacture public opinion for tho
occasion, but we think it would
show wisdom on the part of repub
licans if they would consult the
people, the rank and file of republi
can voters, who generally elect the
president and not the wire-pulling
politicians. This class of voters, as
a rale, are seldom deceived in the
character of tho man they wish to
make their candidate. They almost
always know their man, and if he
loves bis country they know he
t&nds ready to defend and protect
its interests.

Ralph Meeker Vindicates the Good
Name of His Sister.
From a Letter to Denver Tribune.
That night at Los Piuos, when, the
earth s:ink from under his feet, and
the stars seemed to have lost their
meaning, it was Josephine Meeker's
brother who implored Mr. Caldwell,
tho government stenographer to
keep certain things in the testimony
from the newspapers, and to use his
iufluencc to the sitme end with In
spector Pollock, who first took the
captives testimony. This request
was again made when he was acting
as stenographer for Gen. Adams.
Liko a courageous and honorable
man he said the trust -would be sa
credly kept; but it was always un
derstood that the facts were to be
used by tho government iu bringing
the While River Ules to justice.
Secretary Schurz and Gen. Adams
havo euough trouble on their hands
without being abused for legitimate
ly trying to do a decent, humane
thing in behalf of a bereaved girl at
her own request and at the request
of her brother, both of whom extend
to Mr. Schuizand the inspector their
gratitude.
I have no doubt that every possi
ble use was made of the secret in
formation given by the captives,
otherwise there would not have
been so much delay at Los Pinos.
It was because the government de
manded those guilty Utes that there
was delay and a final revelation.
Joscphino Meeker never denied,
never prevaricated, and never flinch
ed. She simply said, considering
what she had expected when she
left the agency, she was well treated,
but at best her experiences were a
horror that she could never forget.
A gentleman of honor would have
pres&ed his inquiries no further. It
is not in keeping with the traditions
of Colorado for a man claiming to
be a representative of that beautiful
country tolling mud at a defenseless
girl, aud say that, she tried to de
ceive the people. Her private life
is her own. It belongs to no man,
even if lie be a voter and a member
of a political party. Her name, her
record, and her honor are too high
above the uows scavenger for her to
he more than temporarily annoyed ,'
but no gentleman will stoop to
annoy a lady, even if slfe be help
less. -
If murderers and incendiaries can
not bo punished without grinding
up a family, and torturing a venera
ble and bed-ridden mother into a
confession that uo decent white man
outside of a penitentiary would lis
ten to, then justice should die.

Ruling:! on I lie School I.siw.
The school board cannot compel
children attending school to procure
and use other hooks than thoso ou
Slate list. The school law nowhere
gives tho district board the right to
adopt or select school-books. Sec.
91 devolves this duty on the State
Supt. In answer to frequent com
plaints of the "continual change of
text-books," I take occasion to say
that all such changes are without
authority of law iu defiance of law,
indeed.
School boards have the samo right
to furnish text-books for use in the
school as any other "apparatus,"
that is when the district has voted a
tax for the purchase of "apparatus"
or "text-books." literary Notes.
Rev. Sidnev Allen, a colored M.
. Minister of Omaha, preached
Suuday week iu the colored Meth
odist Church at Nebraska City, and
findiug the society needed a class
leader, proceeded to fill tho position
by the appointment of a sister of the
church, which highly offended
brother Frank Tillman, who walked
up to the minister shaking his fist
at him, and dared him to step out
of the pulpit. Tillman was arrest
ed aud tried for disturbing the poace.
The prisoner was ably defended by
A. C. Cole, who paid the fine and
costs in the case, which amounted to
$5.
The republicans of Alleghany
county Pennsylvania have acted the
part of wisdom in sending to thoir
state convention an uniustructed
delegation. This action will afford
their delegates an opportunity to
hear from the people Instead of the
political wire-pullers. Let the peo
ple have a voice in nominating your
candidate for president, else the
public will find they will defeat him
by their votes at the polls. Let the
people bo heard in time to save
defeat.
It is reported that Sitting Bull
and his followers, several thousand
strong, are coming to the United
States territory, and the last heard
from them they were cold and hun
gry on Milk river, moving south,
evidently on a marauding expedi
tion, but it is claimed that Sitting
Bull desires the opportunity to hunt
on American soil, and if not molest
ed he will make no trouble. The
Chicago Times says he will have
buffalo or blood.
A successful test was made the
other day on the telephone between
Omaha and St. Louis, a distance of
410 miles, where the communication
between the talkers was most com
plete and perfect. Even the voice
and words sung At St. Louis "Sweet
Bye and Bye," were distinctly heard
at Omaha, and in like manner, "I'm
a Pilgrim and a Stranger," sang at
Omaha, was distinctly heard at St.
Louis.
Several democratic senators are
anxious that the census supervisors
should be equally divided between
the two great political parties, and
it is thought in consequence of this
feeling, and an effort on the part of
the same democrats to bring Presi
dent Hayes to terms, that the nomi
nations already made will not be
confirmed right away.

Mr. Orth, the other day, offered
in the house of congrcs a resolution

John Flannaoan, of San Fran
