Wc are in receipt of Senator
Saunders's speech in the U. S. Sen
ate Feb. 2Lst, on Missouri river im
provement, the resolution submitted'
by him being:
"Resolved, That the Committee on
Commerce be directed to amend the
river and harbor bill so as to increase
tho amount to be appropriated for
the improvement of the navigation
of tho Missouri river between its
mouth and Yankton, Dakota, to the
sum of $1,138,000, that being the
sum recommended by the Chief
Engineer of the War Dep't as neces
sary to be expended for the im
provement of the navigation of that
part of said river, during: the next
fiscal year, euding June 30, 1882."
The general line of the senator's
argument is that the improvement
of the river is necessary to safe nav
igation, and he proceeds to show
wherein it would be beneficial to
the business and commerce of the
country ; he instances the appropri
ations made by government in aid
of railroads, being, in brief, for
13,722 miles, $139,203,585.32, or
$10,144.22 per mile ; that, when com
pleted, they belonged to corpora
tions which charged freight for
everything transported on them.
Comparing this with tho rivers, the
Senator shows that the total number
of miles of the navigable waters of
the Mississippi and tributaries, is
10,074; that these waters extend into
and can furnish transportation for
the products of the states of Louisi
ana, Texas, Arkausas, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Il
linois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minneso
ta, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and
Missouri, eighteen states, ami the
Indian Ty., Dakota and Montana, a
territory amounting to 791,879,040
acres of land. Says the senator:
"Here aro 10,074 miles of naviga
ble river. If we give to these tho
same amount which tho government
hiiB given to railroads, what will be
the difference? These rivers will
be open to tho navigation of every
body free. The government upon
its vessels, can transport free, and
every individual can do the same.
They will become national high
ways, inland seas."
Alluding to the bargo lines which
can be put upon these rivers in case
of improvement in the navigation,
the-senator says:
"Parties who are well acquainted
with that line of business say one
tug-boat will be sufficient power to
transport five of the ordinary-sized
barges, which would coutain twenty
thousand bushels each, or one hun
dred thousand in the aggregate; and
if the larger size barges be used, say
those of ten hundred or twelve
hundred tons burden, then one tug
would manage three of these having
a capacity of at least as much as the
five smaller ones. So that it is safe
to say that one steam-tug could easi
ly convey to the mouth of the Mis
sissippi one hundred thousand
bushels of wheat or corn. Other
lines of barges could be started for
the purpose of shipping to the sea
board the cattle destined for foreign
markets. It would, I think, be
apparent to any one that cattle
shipped in this way would be in
much better condition when con
veyed by these comparatively easy
lines than when shaken and bruised
and fevered by the rough treatment
inseparable at present from railroad
transit. The fact is there is no
transportation known to the busy
world that will compare for cheap
ness with down-stream water .navi
gation. The Almighty made these
great thoroughfares for the use of
the people. No monopolies can take
possession of them and occupy them
to the exclusion of others who may
want to use them. They may there
fore be truly called the 'people's
highway.'"
In speakiug to the resolution, the
senator touches upon the question
of railroad rates, a subject of great
and growing interest, and Nebras
kans will feel gratified for the sena
tor's remarks, and will be glad to
hear more from him on the same
subject. We reproduce some of the
sentiments from this part of his
speech :
"The railroad rates from the Mis
souri river to the seaboard are such
as to leave too little for the pro
ducer, and hence the necessity of
devising means for transporting at
least the grain and breadstuff's to
market at less rates than are now
paid, and in no other way can this
be done, in my opinion, than by
keeping open, as long as possible
each year, the great river thorough
fares." "It is highly probable that if the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers were
properly improved, railroad mana
gers would be compelled to lower
their rates."
"The question of regulating by
law interstate commerce is a diffi
cult matter to settle. That such a
thing can constitutionally be done,
and that it should be done, I haye
no doubt."
"That railroads and especially the
trunk lines can carry freight or
passengers or both at less rate than
is done at the present, is proved by
the fact that the officers at the head
of these lines almost invariably be
come millionaires within a few years
after taking charge. A portion of
this money ought to have been
turned into the hands of the pro
ducers." " If we can improve our rivers
and cheapen the rates to the sea
board by water we will very soon
see the same effect on railroads in
the west and south that we now see
on eastern lines which come into
competition with the lakes, rivers
and canals."
Owing, doubtless, to the selfish
ness of human nature, public inter
ests are the last to be provided for
by legislators, but a great deal can
be done by a constant watchfulness
on the part of a few, and, as Senator
Van Wyck expressed it on an occa
sion during the recent session of the
legislature, "by playing the part of
a watchdog under the wagon, catch
ing at the wheels and howling."
Some attention will be paid to the
dog, especially when it seems to the
driver of the wagon that the woods
he goes through arc too full of eue
mius tor him to allow much noise to
disclose his position.
The discussion of the transporta
tion question will continue until it
will b'e settled on a just business
basis, 'conserving all interests, and
living each section of the country
its just dues. It has long been rec
ognized, and the fact becomes more
patent by experience that congress
must be the main power to hold our
vast corporations to justice and
right dealing; the states, of course,
can, as separate political organisms,
do what seems advisable to further
the general good, but the federal
government is the only power ade
quate to go to the root of the evil,
prescribe a remedy, and enforce its
adoption.
Last week we gave a very brief
account of the assassination of Alex
ander II, czar of all the Russians.
Some additional facts appear in sub
sequent statements worthy of men
tion. Five attempts have been made
to assassinate the czar before. The
first attempt was made in April I860,
in St. Petersburg, and was frustrated
by a peasant. The would-be assas
sin was Dimitri Karakezaff. Tho
second attempt waB made at the
Paris exhibition in 1807, by Bere
zowski, a Pole. The third took place
on the 14th of April, 1879, while the
emperor was taking his morning
walk in the vicinity of his palace.
The fourth was the attempt to blow
up the imperial train while en route
from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and
the fifth occurred in February, 1880,
when the memorable explosion at
Winter Palace failed in securing tho
desired result. Thus it appears that
for fifteen years this man has been
pursued by the assassin and his life
been in danger, but he has at no time
evinced fear or quailed before his
assassins. A further statement shows
that both legs of the Czar were
broken below the knee, the lower
part of the body scveroly injured
and tho left eyo torn from the socket.
The assassins were disguised as
peasants. Ouc report says one of
them was so roughly handled that
he has since died. The assassins are
both young men, and were imme
diately arrested. Russakoff, who
throw the first bomb, admits the
fact, but claims he don't know who
threw the second one that killed the
Czar. The latest report is to the
effect that the assassin who threw
the second bomb has not been arrest
ed. Alexander III, has issued a
manifesto announcing the assassina
tion of Alexander II, who fell by
the hands of impious murderers. In
taking the place of the murdered
emperor the Czar promises to devote
his whole life to the care, welfare
and honor of Russia, and asks the
help and fidelity of his subjects to
aid him in the great undertaking.
The railroads of this State have
not borne, their share of the taxes,
proportioned according to "the value
of their property and franchises," as
required by the constitution, and
the advocates of just taxation were
unable at the recent session, to se
cure legislation to effect that object.
It is now proposed that the commis
sioners of all counties having any
railroad within their borders, be
represented before the State board
of equalization. The Lincoln Globe
has this to say on the subject, and it
fs well worthy of attention :
"It is the only way that even an
approach to a just assessment of
railroad property can be expected.
It is not probable that all, or even
one-fourth of the counties that have
railroad track within their limits,
will be thus represented, but if ten
men who understand what they come
for and are willing to work can be
present, they may accomplish much.
Let Cass, Saline, York, Seward and
the other counties near Lincoln be
represented, whether the more re
mote ones are or not. If no member
of the board is willing to come, send
some competent man who is not a
member, only let him come with
full authority to represent the board.
There will be plenty of railroad
attorneys here. They never neglect
these meetings."
Secretary Wisdom has decided
that the treasury department will
not allow the national banks to sub
stitute bonds for the legal tenders
deposited by them for the retire
ment of their circulation. The action
of the banks in withdrawing from
circulation about $19,000,000 of legal
tenders at a time when there appear
ed to be no real necessity for the
move, should teach our wise men in
authority to anticipate such action
on the part of the banks in the future
and provide a remedy by law. The
whole difficulty of creating panics
can be at once checked by giving to
the secretary of the treasury the
power to issue greenbacks to meet
every emergency that may happen.
Ex - Senator Thurman thinks
there is some virtue left in Ohio
after all, as he received his appoint
ment from President Garfield as one
of the members of the Monetary
Commission, without being sought
and entirely unexpected. We are
satisfied with the appointment and
hope the ex-senator will be pleased
to accept it, as his known experience
and ability will add strength to the
commission.
A lady in Baltimore one night
last week ran into the street wrapped
in flames and receiving terrible in
juries. When the police appeared
she demanded the arrest of her hus
band, Benjamin Dutton, whom sho
charged with saturating her clothing
with coal oil and setting it on fire.
Republicanism and Prohibition.
Republicanism is supposed to em
body nationalism, hard-moncvism,
protectionism and the principles ot
I equal rights. Democracy either op
poses or has at one time opposed all
these articles of faith. Outside of
this there is no republicanism aud
no democracy. The attempt of such
journals as the Omaha Herald to
make prohibitiouism a party ques
tion is utter nonsense. A man may
be a prohibitionist and a democrat
or a prohibitionist and a republican.
It is merely necessary that he shall
be a fanatic in order that he may be
a prohibitionist. His party predi
lections are of no moment in the
discussion of his ideas on the liquor
question ; the two things are as sep
arate as politics and religion.
Ed. Jourxal : The above is from
a late copy of tho Omaha Republican
and I think will be repudiated by the
party. . The Republican party is
certainly no party of Isms, but is the
party of progress. Witness the ad
vance made on every baud during
her rule. The spirit of the party is
the spirit of progress, the Republican
or any other canuot check its ad
vance; canuot tie it to any ism and
say there is nothing beyond. While
we develop in other ways we shall
also develop in government and
laws. So fast as we learn our needs
as a people, we shall devise means
of supplying them. And this not
unadvisedly or hastily, but certainly
for wo have not the stand-still ele
ment. Ab the practical Common
sense of to-day was the fanaticism of
the past, so will the fanaticism of
to-day be the practical common
sense of the future, and as we have
outgrown tho stage coach and wild
cat bank of the past, so may we hope
to outgrow the extortion and red
tape of to-day, and under republican
rule we shall soon see the day when
a dispatch can be sent by telegraph
about as cheap as a postal card ;
when money will be transmitted by
telegraphic orders, and transporta
tion be furnished to the citizens of
our country at actual cost, and when
the men who imagine that the Re
publican party is nothing but a few
isms, will wake up to find that the
brains of the party have progressed
until they and their isms are left far
in the rear. Respectfully,
E. A. Gerhard.

Editor Jourxal: I understand
"Farmer" to say in the last Jourxal
that one of the county commission
ers lied when he says that there was
no report made of the six rows of
trees on north section lines, and that
he knows that one or more assessors
made report according to law. I
say he did not.
Now I hope you, Mr. Editor, will
publish the law as it reads, for the
benefit of "Farmer" and others in
terested, so that in future they may
know how to comply and secure the
benefits of the same.
"AN ACT
TO excourage the growth axd
CULTIVATIOX OF TIMBER IX THE
STATE OF NEBRASKA.
Sec. 1. That when any person
shall plant and properly cultivate for
the term of five years, six rows of
trees, eight feet apart, and the trees
four feet apart in tho row along
either tho north section, or the one
half section line, running east and
west said rows to be not nearero
the said north section line, or one
half section line than four feet or
than the south line of any road
which may be laid out on said north
section line. or one-half section line,
or when any person shall fill out to
the standard above prescribed and
keep the same in a proper state of
cultivation for the time above stated,
any rows of trees that may previous
ly have been planted along said
north section or said one-half section
line, it shall be the duty of the county
commissioners to pay to such per
son by warrant on the county treas
urer, a sum of money amounting to
three dollars and thirty-three cents
per acre, for each acre so planted
and cultivated annually, so long as
the same is planted and kept grow
ing and in a proper state of cultiva
tion, for a period not to exceed the
space of five years, and to an extent
not to exceed three acres of land.
Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of the
assessor of each precinct to make
proper examination and report to
the county commissioners at the
time of his annual report, the condi
tion of all timber so planted and
cultivated under the provision of
this act.
If "Farmer" and the assessor have
complied with the above, "Farmer"
then is entitled to pay, but I here
say there is no such report returned.

Senator Hill, of Georgia, the
other day made some broad insinu
ations against Senator Mabone's po
sition in that body. Hill appears to
have aroused the wrong member.
Senator Mahone replied to the gen
tleman that ho had the manliness
and boldness to assert his right in
the senate free from the dictation of
a democratic caucus ; and he wanted
the gentleman to know henceforth
and forever that ho dared to defend
his right against Hill and his caucus.
The next morning after Senator
Mahone had answered Senator Hill's
insulting inquiries, the former, on
entering the senate found his desk
decorated with a handsome basket
of flowers.
The democrats appear to have
given up the idea of being able to
organize the senate. Senator Beck
said the other day as the republi
cans bad the president and the house
they might as well have the senate
and take all the responsibility for
bad or good work. He did not wish
to hold on to a few privileges, and
moved to adjourn. Agreed to and
the senate adjourned. J
. The police at St. Petersburg found
a mine dug from a milkshop that
went under the street. It is sup
posed that it was the intentiou to
blow up tho palace hitherto tho res
idence of the czarowitch. The po
lice, upon making the the discovery,
forced their way into tho house of
Nawregkisk, the occupant of the
milkshop, when he fired ten shots
at them, aud then killed himself.
The police discovered a large quan
tity of bombs and other fearful ex
plosives. They also found that the
excavation led to other quarters.
The usual regularity of the U. P.
passenger and mail trains was in
terfered with last week, by the high
waters caused by the overflow of the
Platte river, about three miles west
of Fremont, where the track his
b?en under water for several days,
iiud it is believed portions of the
track have beeu washed out. The
company has been compelled at this
point, to transfer the passengers by
teams, about twenty of which have
been employed on the arrival of
trains.
At a recent meeting of the com
mittee of the world's fair, a resolu
tion was adopted that the fair should
be held at Inwood. The first mil
lion dollars subscription is to be
raised by the 1st of April, on condi
tion that the transportation compa
nies subscribe one million and a half
dollars, and a like sum by the citi
zens of New York; and Dr. New
man thought if they failed in this
attempt to raise the amount, they
had better abandon the whole pro
ject. Charles Bradlaugii has got into
trouble. From principle he refused
to take an oath and contended that
an affirmation instead should be al
lowed in the house of commons, as
well as in the courts. Action has
been brought against him to recover
the penalty of $2,500 for occupying
a seat and voting without having
been sworn in, and the Court of
Queen's bench, Justice Matthew, de
ciding that his defense was worth
less, proceedings will be takeu in
the House to choose his successor.
The Union Pacific have abandoned
the business of trausfering passen
gers by wagous this sitte of Fremont,
And will in the future run trains dir
ect from Omaha to Kearney by the
B. & M. route, and all through trains
both ways will follow that line until
the high waters subside. Trains
will also be regularlyrun between
Fremont and Omaha and between
North Bend and Kearney Junction
until the flood subsid-es.
The President has sent the follow
