A decrease of a million and a half
dollars from the estimates, on the In
dian bill, and a reduction of $80,000
from last year's figures on the diplo
matic bill, isn't a bad beginning for
congress. Keep on, brethren. This
is an immense improvement on last
year.
From Kansas City we learn that

disease.
While the posfoffice bill was under
consideration in the bouse Mr. Cas
well of Wisconsin, on behalf of the
committee on appropriations, offered
an amendment increasing the appro
priation for "star" service from $5,
000,000 to $5,250,000, which was
adoped.t
Although the star route mail ser
vice this year includes about 344.000
miles of routes, nriuciDallv in the
we6t aud south, not more than one
hundred bids have been received.
The department thiuks the cause of so
few bids is owing to the fact that there
is not so much money in the business
as formerly.
Te the Lowest Notch.
The elections of this fall seem to bo
working on public affairs. Congress
intends to bring all necessary legisla
tion forward at the beginning of the
session. Most of the important ap
propriation bills will, it is thought, be
acted upon at an early day. The rule
has generally been to postpone such
bills to the hurry and confusion of
the last days and put them through
under whip and spur. There are a
set of fellows always, whose chief
interest lies in the success of the
appropriation bills, and they can do
best when they have the entire session
to work in. It will be a matter of
public congratulation if the capitol
and other appropriation bills which
are being cooked for our legislature
are brought in at the beginning
of the session so as to receive
due consideration from member,
and also give the people, who
foot all the bills, the liberty of at
least counting the cobI beforehand.
It was reported during the campaign
that the candidate for governor who
received the election had pledged
himself to sign a capitol appropriation
bill of a stated (large) sum. It re
mains to be seeu how much truth
there may have been in the alleged
contract. The Journal has no doubt
but a large appropriation will be
asked for. What would Lincoln come
to Without the regular appropriations
ot large sums of money from the State
Treasury ? It is what they work for.
It is what they trade for, before and
after the event. All so-called moral
issues that come before the legislature
for consideration are used as blinds
for success. The senators and repre
sentatives (or the men who vote
them), who can be bribed by money
or the promise of office, to vote
against the public welfare, are used
to get au appropriation. It is Lin
coln's meat and drink to have an ap
propriation, and it is "old persim
mons" to have a large capitol appro
priation. Nobody blames Lincoln
especially for advocating these things,
but the rest of the state are to be
blamed for expenditures which are
not needed. The two wings of the
projected capital buildiug are com
pleted, and of course the old building
between is a very unsightly thing, an
eye-sore, and this -will be the main
argument used by Lincoln and her
cohorts to urge on the appropriation
of a large sum ($450,000 is the amount
said to be agreed upon), for putting
up the new "body." It is a pity to
have money in the treasury lying idle,
say these fellows. It id a great pity,
to be sure, but the better remedy is to
lighten the load of taxation. Argu
ments of this kind are easily made by
tax-eaters, but tax-payers don't take
to them so kindly. Something must
occasionally be done as these tax
payers want it, if you wish to keep
them in good humor. They are look
ing after the equalization of the pres
ent burdens a little, feeling that they
are about heavy enough, and you
want to go a little slow about these
costly public buildings. Instead of
increasing such expenditures, let them
be pushed down to the lowest prac
ticable notch.
Last week manager Merrill, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road, telegraphed from New York to
freight and passenger agents' to re
store at once old rates. It is claimed
that the agreement comprising the
whole troubles arising in the recent
railroad war will be signed, and no
violation of this agreement will be
permitted for one year, under heavy
penalties; consequently "scalped"
tickets will not be in the market.
Among the same news, Commissioner
Daniels of the Colorado pool gives
notice that from January 1st, the em
igrant rate between the Missouri
river and Colorado points will be
abolished, and the only rates between
the Missouri river and Colorado
points will be: First-class, $25; sec
ond, $22, with fifty cents added for
St. Joe and Council Bluffs.
The Lincoln Journal of Tier.. Sth
has a labored article to show that the
law for the taxation of railroad prop
erty is all right. That may all be;
but the Journal man will be gray be
fore he gets the average farmer to see
it in that light. Railroads should pay
taxes on about the same proportion
of their real value, that other proper
ty in the state does; and till they do
the people will not be satisfied.
The above is from the Boone Co.
News. That is right. Quit your
flopping from one side to the other,
and give it to the railroad monopoly,
organs direct from the shoulder. The
editor of the Lincoln Journal is very
unreliable in the discussion of this
question, as his article shows.
A dreadful accident occurred the
other day at the saw mill of J. Vin
cent & Sou, at Shawncetown, HI., by
the explosion of the boiler, wrecking
the mill, and instantly killing eight
men and wounding three others.
Those killed were W. Montgomery,
C. Bloss, Henry Hughs, C. Bager, G.
Price, W. P. Grove, J. McLaughlin
and S. Kennedy. Wade Kee was
blown some distance breaking both
arms and both legs and otherwise in
jured and he died soon after the acci
dent. The other two men were bad-
ly hnrt, one fatally. The cause of the
explosion is not known.
The Pall Mall Gazette says that it is
authorized to state that Gladstone has
resigned the chancellorship of the
Exchequer, and that Childers, the
secretary of war, is appointed to suc
ceed him. Changes in the ministry
are made necessary by this arrauge
ment, and are still undor considera
tion. Prof. C. F. Bbcsh, of Cleveland,
Ohio, and president of the Brush
Electric Light and Powder Company
of that city, has invented a box for
storing electricity. This invention is
a success in every way, and its com
pletion scores a triumph for its inven
tor over all prominent electricians of
the world.

Mr. Page from the commerce com
mittee in the house, reported a reso
lution calling on the secretary of war
for information as to whether money
appropriated by the last river and
harbor bill was apprcprtatcd for
works or objects not in the interest o'
commerce and navigation; if so, re
questing that specifications he fur
nished. The resolution met with some op
position Mr. Robeson claiming that
opposition to (be river aud harbor
appropriation came from metropolitan
newspapers in the interest or aggre
gated capital. Mr. K.'isson advocated
amendment of the phraseology, con
tending thnt the secretary of war
could not report any work unneces
sary, as every brook was of local im
portance. The resolution was finally
adopted.

ing, discriminating, pooling, &c, are
prohibited and punished. A com

States, shall be appointed by each

The citizens of Omaha were startled
on the 17th by the reception of a tel
egram sent by Supt. Stone, of the C.
B. & Q., from Burlington, that Judge
Clinton Briggs, of Omaha, had fallen
from a train in the night, near Afton,
and instantly killed. The remains
have been taken to Afton where they
await orders for disposition Judge
Briggs was a man of good character

bar as well as araoug all classes, and
wae esteemed as a public spirited and
honest man. lie leaves s wife and

The Omaha Republican, too, along
with the Lincoln Journal goes iuto
political jim-jams on the thought of
Senator Van Wyck, whom they can
scarcely mention in a decent way
cour6e any ma who presumes to
think and act politically otherwise
than these monopoly organic tools
would have him, is a "conundrum,"
etc., etc. There are getting to be a
great many men in Nebraska who
will no longer brook the insolent
domineering of these monopoly apol
ogists. A recent political conference was
held at Chicago, of leaders of the
democratic party from Michigan,
Iowa and Wisconsin, with a large
delegation of the foremost members
of the party from several other west
ern and middle states. After chang
ing views and discussing democratic
presidential candidates, the confer
ence settled upon McDonald, of In
diana, as the democratic standard
bearer for president.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
thinks the reasons given by the Post
master General for advising the ab
sorption of the telegraph service of
the couutry by the government, apply
just .is w ell to railroads, steamboats,
8tRnc coaches and many manufactur
ing enterprises. For ourselves, we do
not like the idea of a goverument
going into business, but if the body of
the people cannot have their just
rights secured otherwise, it must come
to that. Uncle Sum's mail service is
so admirable, us a rule, that it ii little
wouder the idea of government ab
sorption ot tlione other functions is
strung-y advocated. A- outrages
multiply, the people will determine a
remedy, and it will be ample enough,
when it doei come.
Our old fiend, Z Went u orth, now
of the Cass County Jiaijle can express
a sentiment as couipmtly as the next
mau, and this he does iu the following
paragraphs :
Just asopptessivc legislation, legis
lution thnt pours mihions into the
pockets of the few by taking them
from the pockets of the toiling, pro
ducing maHe, can he enacted by law
makers chosen by a sovereign people,
as by the decrees of a kintr or an
emperor.
Every dollar given away by the
goverument to create heartless, ruth
less, soulless, grinding, extortionate
monopolies, has to be taxed out of
the earnings of au already overtaxed
people.
The Nebraska land case was decid
ed the oilier day by the U. S. supreme
court at Washington, ntlirnriiig the
decree of the lower court, which holds
that when the appellant, Van Wyck,
made Ins entry and obtained patent
therefor the title had passed from the
U. S., and consequently no right could
be conferred upou him. The opinion
rendered embraces a large number of
cases beside this one, and will settle
the title to 18,000 or 20,000 acres of
land iu Thayer county, this State.
At the present writing the north
western railroad war Is drawing to a
close. The railroad manager in ses
sion in New York the other day rec
ommended there be no more railways
built in the northwest, and the St.

This settles the territorial questiou,
and all agents are instructed to pre
pare for the old rates. Parcel the
couutry out arnoug ye, and after
awhile the public will look after it.

matter.
The Edwards county bank located
at Kinsley, Kas., was robbed one
