Lord Beaconsfield is reported as
once saying in Parliament: "Irish
members are too much iu the habit

The new Journal building at Lin
coln will be one of the finest news
paper establishments in all the west.
The Journal's theory aud practice of
conducting a newspaper seems to
have beeu correct, so far, at least.
It makes few, if auy, mistakes; is
never abusive, sticks to its knitting,
and makes money.
A terribly fatal fire occurred in
New York on the morning of the
4th, in a tenement house. One
woman, a boy and five babies were
burned and suffocated, and four
more are reported dead and burned,
making eleven victims in all. The
cause of the fire was the explosion
of a gasoline machine which two
plumbers were using to thaw out
frozen water pipes directly under
the stairway. The pumbers are
missing.
"Whatever may be the outcome,
it now seems evident that the two
great railroad corporations of this
State, or either of them, will not
have it all their own way. Below
the surface (which looks smooth and
agreeable to these corporations), all
is a molten, seething mass, aud when
the man appears who can pierce the
surface, there will be such an awa
kening as will be" long remembered.
Pompeii and Herculaaeum will be
overwhelmed. "
Lincoln Correspondence.
Lincoln, Jan. 7, 1SSL.
Most of the members arrived
Monday of last week, aud ever since
the mill has been griuding. Thu
Commercial hotel is the headquar
ters of the crowd aud has beeu very
fitly called " the ant-hill," and " the
smoke house," from the re3tless, aud
seemingly aimless movements of the
human iusccts, and from the smoke
of their tormeut, which asccuds con
tinually. There seems to be less of
drinking among the throng, this
time but the cigars have to sutler,
in consequence.
The organization of the houses,
appointment of committees, etc., ot
course you get from the dailies. The
Inter-Ocean's article will give those
who read it a fair idea of the per
sonnel of. the legislature, but no pen
can give an adequate idea of what is
known in Nebraska as "the third
house," otherwise, "the lobby," or
(borrowing a phrase from national
politics Bimply for the phrase
itself), the "visiting statesmen." I
believe that the present legislature
will be louud to be less under the
influence of the lobby than is usu
ally the case, though the air is liter
ally filled with all sorts of rumors
on all sorts of subjects, aud members
are spoken of by lobbyists as though
they were so mauy cattle to be
bought and sold, or so many hogs to
be driven to the market. The take
it lor granted that every man has a
net price, aud cau be swayed by im
proper motives the offer of money,
the promise of some lucrative office,
or something ot the sort. All that
represents the people in this seeth
ing caldron of individual aud cor
porate interests, is the far-off recol
lection that the member has of home,
friends and people, and whatever ot
integrity and public spirit he hap
pens naturally to possess aud ex
ercise. The meeting of two huudrcd lar
tners in this city Wednesday last, in
convention as a farmers' alliance, has
had a good influence on members.
The idea uppermost with them is
legislation on railroad aud kindred
subjects, under the constitution.
They purpose circulating petition?,
and personally appealiug to the
members of their several districts,
in behalf of farmers' iuterests alter
doing their best in this way, they
express a determination to closely
watch the result, aud mark the men
who forget their interests.
The election of Shedd as speaker
of the house may be takeu as an
index of the temper of that body on
the railroad issue, because the other
two candidates (but notably Church
Howe) were regarded as railroad
candidates. The strenuous fight,
however, on the part of the rail
roads, was made iu the senate, upon
the adoption ol rules of 1879, for the
government of the senate of 1SS1:
oue of these gave the authority oi
appointment to the Lieut. Governor,
E. C. Cams. A motion to amend
this, by giving the appointment to
the senate, was lost.
For several good reasons, the sen
ators in favor of railroad legislation
do not consider this a test of
streugth; however, their constitu
ents will regard it in a different
light, until further action convinces
them otherwise. I would not wish
to be classified as a political prophet,
but I venture to express the opinion
that when the due time comes the
majority in the senate, in favor of
mouopoly rule, will be small, it,
indeed, it be anythiug, and all mem
bers will be put on the record.
I learn that Senator Turner of the
14th district expressed the following-views
on this subject I don't
pretend to give his lauguago: "It is
the correct rule for a legislator to
determine each question before him
upon its merits. The committees of
the senate are its organs, because it
is through these or by these that the
legislative functions are exercised.
Considered as an entirety, the com
mittees should be of like miud with
the scuate. It might very readily
happen that the Lieut. Governor
would not represent the will of the
senate, but the coutrary. The Lieut.
Governor cannot, under the consti
tution vote upon a law, and is there
fore not responsible, in any sense, to
the people, as a law maker. "Why,
then, should he name the commit
teesthe most important act in the
organization of the senate? It is
not a question of mere personal like
or dislike for him whom the consti
tution makes the presidiug officer,
but it is a qucstson as to whether
the senate should abrogate au in
herent right, and establish or con
tinue a bad precedeut. The princi
ple would be the same no matter
who occupied the chair."

Gov. Albinus Nance appeared
before the two Houses of the Nebraska-
legislature iu joint sessiou
on the 5th inst., and delivered his
annual message. He discusses a
variety of subjects iu his message,

cluding the State University, Nor
mal School, Penitentiary, Hospital
for the Insane, Institute for the
Deaf and Dumb, Institute for the
Blind and Reform School. All ol
which the Governor is pleased to
say havebeen managed very satis
factorily. The governor recom
mends legislation on the subject of
organizing military companies in
the state. Also in regard to re
districting the state for congression
al purposes, as the state will, un
der the present census returns, be
entitled to three congressmen, as
well as for legislative aud judicial
purposes. The message occupies
nearly five columnB in the State

lication in this week's Journal,

presented by the.Governor.

Editor Journal: Being a late
resident ot Platte county, a letter
from me may be read with interest
by yonr many friends in Platte Co.
The political excitement is all
over aud the hatchet is buried not
to be resurrected until '84, aud the
good people have gone back to their
iudustrics, and peace and quiet reign.
Bowling, my native home, never
was better prepared tor the holidays
than at the present time. Last Fri
day evening was the occasion of
quite au interesting time in Rey
nolds, aud being one of the specta
tors, 1 think it due to Santa Clans
and the congregation to send an
account to the Journal. The ex
ercises of the evening opened by a
song from the choir, followed by
short speeches and singing. Time
was beginning to drag when old
Santa Glaus put in his appearance,
who in person was Wm. Schoon
maker; he took the staud and after
making a few remarks commenced
distributing presents from a well
loaded as well as beautiful Christ
inas tree; and to add to the beauty
of the sceue the house was decoratod,
demonstrating the fine taste of the
ladies who had the honor of per
forming the work. Some of the
young men were astonished when
they were presented with a delicate
mitten, which sight caused a great
deal of mirth aud laughter for those
present.
Last evening being New Year's
eve, called the people together again
at different places to rejoice aud be
glad, and welcome the approaching
New Year.
Sleighing here is very good, and
every one seems to enjoy it. A
continual jingle of the sleigh bells
cau be heard Irom early morning
till late at. night.
By the way, I hope that the WattB
villo literary and debating society
still flourish?, aud that its members
are enjoying themselves beyond
description this happy New Year.
No doubt the singing school at that
place, taught by Miss Pardee has
improved wonderfully, and I hope
ere long to listen to their gentle
voices. Wishing you all a happy
New Year, and hoping soon to have
the opportunity of seeing you, I
sigu myself G. C. Smith.
Our friend G. C. Smith's letter did
not reach us in time for the first
issue of the Journal in the new
year. By a week's delay it loses
none of its freshness and interest.
The South Carolina legislature has
passed rather a singular anti-whiskey
bill. By it the sale of all kinds
of intoxicating liquors, including
malt liquors and wines is absolutely
prohibited outside of the incorpo
rated cities, towns and villages.
Extracts from Ingersoll'3 "Pann
ing in Illinois." .
If you wish to raise a good boy
you must give him plenty to cat, and
treat him with kindness.
Every farmer who will treat his
cattle kindly, and feed them all they
want, will, in a few years, have
blooded stock on his farm.
Every man should endeavor to
belong to himself.
Man needs more manline, more
real independence. W must take
care of ourselves. Thic we c-in do
by labor, and in this way we can
preserve our independence. We
should try to choose that business or
profession the pursuit of which will
give us the most happiness. Happi
ness is wealth. We can be happy
without being rich without holding
office without being famous. I am
not sure that Wo can be happy with
wealth, with office, or with fame.
It is a thousand times better to
have common sense without educa
tion, than education without the
sense. Boys and 'girls should be
educated to help themselves. They
should be taught that it is disgrace
ful to be idle, and dishonorable to
bo useless.
People who live much alone be
come narrow and suspicious. They
are apt to be the property of oue
idea. They begin to think there Fs
no use in anything. They look upon
the happiness of others as a kind of
folly. They hate joyous folks, be
cause, way down in their hearts,
they euvy them.
Sleep is the best medicine in the
world. It is the best doctor upon
the earth. There is no such thing as
health without plenty of sleep. The
man who cannot get a living upon
Illinois soil without rising before
daylight ought to starve.
It elevates a man to own a home.
A man without a home feels like a
passenger. Homes make patriots.
He who has eat by his own fireside
with wife and children will defend
it. Few men have been patriotic
enough to shoulder a musket in de
fence of a boarding house.
Raise your sons to be independent
through labor to pursue some bus
iness for themselves and upon their
own account to be telf-reliant to
act upon their own responsibility,
and to take the consequences like
men. Teach them above all things
to be good, true and tender hus
bands winners of love and builders
of homes.
The laboring people should unite
and protect themselves against all
idlers. You can divide mankind
into two classes: the laborers and
the idlers, the supporters and the
supported, the honest and the dis
honest. Every man is dishonest
who lives on the unpaid labors of
others, no matter if ho occupies
a throne.
Treat your wife and children with
infinite kindness. Give your sons
and daughters every advantage in
yonr power. Iu the air of kindness
they will grow up about you like
flowers. They will fill your homes
with sunshine and all your years
with joy. Do not try to rule by
force. A hlow from a parent leaves
a scar on the soul, l should feel
ashamed to die surrounded by chil
dren I had whipped. Think of feel
ing upon your dying lips the kiss of
a child you hud struck.
See to it that vour wife has everv
convenience. Make her life worth
living. Never allow her to become
a servant. Wives, weary and worn,
mothers, wrinkled and bent before
their time, fill homes with grief and
shame. If you arc not able to hire
help for your wives, help them your
selves. See that they have the best
utensils to work with. Women
c.innot create things by magic. Have
plenty of wood and coal good cel
lars and plenty in them. Have good
things to cook, and good things to
cook with. It is just as Pasv to hnvp
things convenient and right as to
have them any other way. Good
cooking is the basis of civilization.
Treat your children with infinite
kindness treat them as equals
There is no happiness in a home not
filled with love. Where the hus
band hates hip wife where the wife
hates the husband ; where children
hate their parents and each other
there is a hell upon earth.
Nothing can be noble than to be
useful. Idleness should not be re
spectable. I can imagine no sweeter way to
end one's life than in the quiet of
the country, out of the mad race for
money, place and power far from
the demands of business oot of the
dusty highway where fools struggle
and strive for the hollow praise of
other fools.
Surrounded by pleasant fields and
faithful friends, by those I have
loved, I hope to end my days. I
hope that you. in the country, in
houses covered with vines and
clothed with flowers, looking from
the open window upon rustling
fields of corn and wheat, over which
will rnn the sunshine and the shad
ow, surrounded by those whose lives
you have filled with joy, will pass
away serenely as the Autumn dies.
For the Journal.
Literary Societies.
In continuing the subject from last
week, permit me to refer to Frank
lin: Was he a favorite of fortune?
No, far from it. He was a poor
mechanic. If the fire of ambition
had not been kindled iu his breast,
if he had not read, not studied, if he
had not deprived himself of amuse
ment that he might store his mind
with wisdom, would he ever have
become the world's renowned phil
osopher? Auother example you have in the
eminent statesman, Daniel Webster,
a poor boy. When a humble lad he
aimed at excellence. He differed
from his companions when very
young, and he was not ashamed to
differ from them. Do you ask why ?
Because he was brave. They are
cowards that fear ridicule. He was
neither frivolous nor disolute. ne
made study his pleasure, not his
necessity. He was discouraged by
no difficulties, but was rather stimu
lated by them to greater effort. He
was characterized by a disregard for
trifles, and by a steady aim at the
most important ends. In his youth
ful days he had not the tithe of your
advautages; then books were scarce
aud high-priced, aud only the favor
ed of fortuue had access to them.
Probably there are more and better
works lying nnread in every book
caee in our enterprising city than
ever gladdened the eyes of Webster,
while among the bleak hills of New
Hampshire. Our interest is more
intense when we know that the hero
or statesman was once humble iu
circumstances not their minds.
Their miuds were ever soaring
above their earthly surroundings.
Their mind' ce carried them down
along the vista of time, and they
already saw the l-iutcl wreath which
wis to encircle their manhood's
brow. Somo writers have classed
ambition among vice. It was a
vice with Crezir, who was slain for
his ambition. It was surely not a
virtue in Napoleon, ehe why was he
condemned to linger out his exist
ence on a rock in the Atlantic ocean ?
Washington's ambition was a virtue.
He aimed at excellence, not power.
His love of country and that coun
try's good, was his ambition. Had
he not beeu ambitious, he might
have lived and dipd unlameuted, on
the tnuks of the Potomac; and we,
instead of being thirty-nine millions
of free American, might still be the
vassal ot England, and our country,
our broad, free and glorious country,
a jewel in the British crown.
A very serious accident occurred
on the 4th on the Sioux City &
O-iiftha division of railroad, by which
six men were killed, and a seventh
lost a leg. The meu had been eu
gaged in a cut uorth of Bancroft,
shoveling snow, and had stepped
from the track to allow the passen
ger train to pass, but the stops to the
passenger coach caught them aud
mowed them like grass under the
wheels. Only four escaped without
serious injury. The names of the
killed are Chao. Myers, Thos. Braug
mtin, A. P. Swansou, J. A. Herman,
OIney Anderson and John Erriek
son. Th name of the wounded man
is John Adeluu. The men all lived
in Oakland, Neb., to which place the
bodies were conveyed.
There are whisperings in Lincoln
againaf the management of the In
sane Asylum. If there is anything
of a serious nature, the legislature
should appoint a thorough-going
committee of investigation who
would probe affairs to the core. Of
all the State's charitable institutions
there is none that should be so rig
idly guarded from abuse as this,
whose occupants are, to a greater or
less degree, deprived of their reason,
and helpless victims of designing
and unscrupulous men who may
happen to be in chargo over them.
The expression of the opiuion of
Hon. George Tick nor in reply to
Judge Black denying the right of
the National aud State Governments
to regulate the railroads was refer
red to recently in the Journal.
Since which time a friend has di
rected our attention to n decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, which fully sustain? the
position taken by Judge Black in
his recent letter, claiming the juris
diction aud the right of the National
and State Governments to regulate
railroads.
If the people of Nebraska want
anything iu the way of railroad leg
islation (as we arc satisfied they do),
they must make it known pretty
utiauimnush, before politicians and
corporations will give them more
than a complaisant notice. Let them
banish fi rnn places of public trust all'
those known to be railroad " tools,"
aud let fueh be kept out of all re
sponsible positions, for if they should
not dare oppose the people's wish
openly, they would do so under
cover.
