The City Council of Chicago have
authorized the expenditure of $15,

visitations of diseases.

That Capitol Appropriation.
The Journal at the time was not
slow to express itself on the pro
priety of expending a hundred
thousand dolIa-3 moro or less for "a
wing to-a capitol building," and af
terwards for n like amount for a like
purpose. The last appropriation
was entirely uncalled for, as a pub
lic uecessity, the other wing provid
ed for had uot been finished, and if
the old house was still good enough
for the lastlegislature,.the new wing
with it ought to have served the
purpose of the next legislature, with
out taking a hundred thousand more
from the hard-earned taxes of the
people, simply to add to the business
and enterprise of the capitol city,
and line the pockets of some of her
lobbyists. It would be well for con
stituencies outside of Lincoln's cir
cle of influence to look well to this
subject hereafter, aud select only
such men to represent them as will
not be pliant in the hands of Lincoln
lobbyists. Tbe people of the State
may rest assured that the hundred
and seventy-five thousand dollars
already appropriated of their money
to further the local interests of Lin
coln, are only the beginnings of a
long series of expenditures to be
gauged simply by the increasing
wealth of the State, and the apathy
of those interests which will suffer
the most. The. people of northern
and western and middle Nebraska
must realize that the Liucoln lobby
is a thing of life, in fact an exceed
ingly lively creature, that makes its
living by just such work as legisla
tive and other jobbing. Knowing
that ours is a representative form of
government, aud knowing that the
body of the people are not to be cor
rupted, they know well how to carry
their schemes through by buying
that which ought never be
bought, viz: legislative honor. The
remedy is to elect none that are for
sale.
As hundreds of thousands 'may
yet bo saved to the tax-payers by
keeping up an agitation of the ques
tion, we purpose referring to it oc
casioualy. Several of our exchanges have had
something to say recently, and we
hope that they will not weary in
well doing. We clip some of their
paragraphs. The Red Cloud Chief
is inclined to anger:
"The Nebraska legislature appro
priated thousands of dollars for cap
itol buildings etc., but refused to
appropriate a few hundred dollars
to furnish seed wheat to the desti
tute settlers, on the Nebraska fron
tier. This is a painful subject; we
will say no more lest we swear."
The Central City Courier thinks
there is great waste of time over the
inveitable, and remarks :
"Our legislature was certainly
guilty of great negligence and want
of forethought ui not providing for
an annual levy for the state capitol
building. This thing of appropria
ting every year is getting monoto
nous and wastes the people's money.
A clause in the constitution, could
it be got there, specifying a certain
amount (sufficiently large to cover
emergencies) to be spent annually in
the repairing and adornment of the
capitol buildings, would much fa
cilitate legislation and dispense with
the useless discussion that now has
to be gone through with every year."
The Oakdale Peri and Plow talks
like a meat-axe, and as thongh it
was a second bite of the same dog:
"The Capital appropriation bill
has passed, which considering the
awful losses of cattle, and general
death of business during the past
winter, is nothing but a scheme of
robbery and oppression. Our Sen
ator, B. K. Smith of Boone county
voted for the bill, which ought to
subject him, until the sods of his
prairie home cover him up in shame,
to tbe execration of his fellow cit
izens. When we consider that tens
of thousands ot dollars have been
swallowed up in tbe death of cattle,
we do not feel like tempering our
words with moderation.
The Kearney Press don't mince
matters either.and closes its remarks
with an exceedingly appropriate
question:
The Capitol Appropriation Bill
passed before adjournment. $100,
000 is the amount stolen from tbe
public treasury for building a use
less addition to Lincoln. The man
ner in which Lincoln worked for it,
the trades and tie-ups of their mem
bers were disgraceful, and the "ru
ral roosters" who aided them should
be remembered by their constitu
ents. Tbe state is in no condition
to be robbed of $100,000 at this time.
The people of the central and wes
tern portion of Nebraska, have all
the burdens they can well bear, and
should have been spared this addi
tional weight of taxation. Two
years from now Lincoln will want
$200,000 more, and so on without
end. Would it not be well to look
after this matter two years hence?
The funeral of the murdered Czar
took place on the 21st. The Inter
Ocean says it is described by Geo.
A. Sala, the celebrated newspaper
correspondent, as the most magnifi
cent, most imposing, most pathetic
pageant, which in the course of a
lengthened career, accustomed to the
pomps and vanities of royalty, he
had ever been privileged to behold.
The funeral car was a bier of ebony
and silver, on wheels, with carved
silver spokes. The most striking
figure in the procession was Alex
ander III, who walked just behind
the hearse.
John M. Murphy, deputy sheriff
from Beatrice, Neb., went to Kansas
City some two weeks ago to take
Frank Laughlin, a mule thief, back
to Beatrice. The prisoner was put
in his charge and he left in company
with a friend of the prisoner who
drove the team, and it is thought a
deed of violence has been committed
There is a sight worth lookiug at
near somerset, Ky., ou the Codar
Bluffs at the Cumberland river.
Every evening about sundown the
sky is darkened as far as the eye can
see, by great flocks of birds coming
to roost in the cedars. Parties re
cently spent an evening at theXJedan
inuus wuiuiuug mis wguueriui con
gregation of every tongue, plumage
and almost every couutry this side
of the tropics. Startled by the ap
proach of visitors, great cluuds of
the chattering tribo would rise from
their perches in the cedars aud ily
off with a noise like deop and dis
tant thunder. One thing appeared
very strange about this" bird conven
tion, and that was the peace and
harmony that existed between the
birds. The hawk aud dove roosted
in peace ou the same branch, while
hundreds of robins and sparrows
circled in perfect safety around the
perch of large owls. In the early
morning when these songsters of the
grove left their perches for the open
fields of the country it was a most
beautiful and gorgeous sight to be
hold. A correspondent to tho Cin
cinnati Enquirer gives a lengthy and
interesting accouut of this bird
gathering.
A ladv teacher in the Omaha
public schools aged about 35, who
had been active and very successful
in her profession, eloped the other
day with one of her pupils, a youth
of about 18 to parts unknown. The
event created quite a sensation in
Omaha circles. It has transpired
since she left the city that her finan
cial matters are not so straight as
some of her teacher acquaintances
could desire, having borrowed yari
ous sums of money from them, as
well as many other bills in the city
remain unsettled. The freak on the
part of the lady is unaccountable,
and the press of Omaha fail to ex
plain it or give the names of the
parties concerned.
The action ot the Proaident and
Secretary Kirkwood in revoking the
acceptance of the resignation of R.
B. Harringtou by their predecessors
aud restoring him to his position in
the land office is a wet blanket to
the array of spoil-hunters that has
invaded Washington and demanded
the discharge of all the present fed
eral officials in the state to make
way for the favorites of the present
senatorial delegation. Mr. Harring
tou was a persistent Paddock man,
and has not been proscribed therefor
by the administration. It begins to
look like civil service reform.
Lincoln Journal.
Many papers have said that Kobt.
Lincoln at the age of thirty-seven, is
the youngest man we have had in
tho Cabinet; there may have been
several younger. Alexander Ham
ilton was a lieutenant Colonel at the
age of 18; a member of the Conti
nental Oougress at 25, aud Secretary
of the Treasury at 32 and one who
has never been surpassed. William
Pitt, the younger, born two years
after Hamilton, was in Parliament at
21, in the Cabiuet at 23, and Prime
Minister at 24. Ex.
A man who gave his name as John
McCormick stopped at Goshen, Ind.,
for lodgings, and soon after sent for
a physician who found several of his
ribs broken and told tho man he
must die. He says a company of
friends had been drinkiug in a saloon
in TJppor Sandusky, Ohio, when a
party of roughs entered and a fight
eusued. During tho melee I killed
a man and made my escape and got
this far. The man died in a few
hours after telling the strange story.
American citizens, whether occu
pying official or private stations,
have a perfect right to express their
sympathy with friends or with the
people of a country for the loss of
their ruler by assassination, and
every class of Americaus ought to
know that in this land of freedom of
speech aud action, tbe crime of
assassination will find no counte
nance among law abiding citizens
whether the assassination be among
our own or other dignitaries.
Hexry Ketchell of Mitchel Co.,
Kansas, was recently murdered and
found lying dead in front ofhis dug
out, with bis skull mashed in, a fatal
wound in the head, and one in the
back. There was evidence of a
bloody fight, and that Ketchell had
used an axe with good effect, having
cut off one of the murderer's fingers.
R. TV. Knox has been arrested for
the crime, together with his son and
hired man. One of the men arrest
ed has lost a finger.
The persons who will.be tried for
the murder of the Czar are Rouss
akaff, who confessed that he threw
one of the bombs ; Ardrei Telejkoff,
who admits participating in the pre
paration for the crime; Timofei
Michaeloff, who shot a policeman in
resisting arrest at the RitzkofTs dom
icile; and a woman named Hessie
Helfmann, supposed to have been an
accomplice of Navrotski, who com
mitted suicide when the police en
tered his houBe.
There appears to be a full deter
mination on tbe part of tbe Demo
crats of the senate to resist in every
way tbe election of senate officers
until June or even December. Sen
ator Hoar said the declaration of
Mr. Brown was revolutionary and
treasonable, that no such treason had
ever before been uttered in tbe
senate.
Sarah Andrew-' of Alexandria,
Va., commuted suicide the other
uight without any known 'ciusc.
The Alexandria iTe-iv says':. She
was a youuglady o fa bout the age or
twenty-two, of" more than ordinary
abilityaudfebore the'inark of a per
fect lauy.rrJt?is one of those sad
cases which occur uow aud theu
aloug the mile-posts of time, which
reminds us of the frailty of the
human mind and the uncertainty of
life.
All classe's of Republicans are
again welcome at the White House.
The new president' seems fo be a
man of-large enough scope to be on
good teruid with any sound Repub
lican. It isvstated that, until Gar
field's inauguration, Senator Ham fin
had not been at the White House
since March 1877; that Conkling's
l.HJt visit was just four years pre
vious; and Blaine's three years and
seven months.
Among a thousand compositors
employed at the government office
there are three young ladies who
have regular cases. During the last
three mouths these three have set
more type than any three men em
ployed on similar class of work, so
it instated. If women had an equal
chance in life and its varied occupa
tions, w.e believe they would, as a
rule, excel where light work is re
quired. The attachment of $20,000 to the
general appropriation bill wa se
cured by S'euator Paddock, for the
purpose of aidiug sufferers by the
drought last year in western Kansas
and southwestern Nebraska. This,
among Senator Paddock's la-tt ac
tions in the Senate, shows the kind
of man he is, always alert and alive
to the interests of his constituents,
and ready to do service wherever
needed.
The President has nominated
Thomas Wilson, of the "District of
Columbia, U. S. consul to Ghent;
Mason Bane, of Utah, receiver of
public moneys at Salt Lake City;
W. H. Llewellen.of Nebraska, agent
for the Mescater Indians, New Mex
ico; Ronello W. Berry, of Idaho,
collector of internal revenue for the
Territory of Idaho. -
John T. Crow, managing editor
of the Baltimore Sun, was stricken
with paralysis about 3 in the after
noon of the 23d, iu the office of that
journal. He was removed to Bar
num's hotel and died in a few rain
utes. He went on the Sun in 1848,
and hecanie managing editor in
1S65. He was nearly CO years old.
Lizza Barton, a notorious feraalo
horse thief living near Clinton, III.,
who has stolen a number of horses
in that vicinity, was sent the other
day to the Jolliet penitentiary for
one year on the charge of arson. She
was too young to go to the state
prison for horse stealing, and was
riont to jail for twenty-four hours.
The great snow storm predicted
struck Chicago on the 19th and 20th
extending as far west as Schuyler,
this state, but the snow west of
Omaha was rather light, aud did not
block the roads ; but east of Omaha
it was quite severe throughout Iowa
and Illinois, again stopping trains
by the araouut of snow fall .
It is said that the scare In Europe
about trichiute in pork shipped from
this country has produced a marked
effect. A heavy dealer in pork said
iu New York the other day that
these reports are circulated for the
