t THE JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 27, 1882. Entered at the Post-office, Columbus, Neb., as second class matter. The business failures in New York city the last week number 208. Some of the southern papers have nominated Jeff. Davie for president in 1884. The holiday recesB of congress ex tends from December 22d till Jan uary 2d. Gov. Cleveland, of New York, has appointed S. J. Til den, jr., aid de camp on his staff. Oub thanks are due to Senator Van "Wyck for a copy of the testimony taken by the Tariff Commission. Nicholas Rinke, a German, was run over and instantly killed the other day by a freight train at Grand Island. Thbse vessels have recently been wrecked on the coast of Scotland, re salting in the drowning of the crews. Mrs. Jones, of Yincennes, Ind., on her way the other day to a son's funeral, was thrown from a train and killed. Fortress Monroe is the largest single 'fortification in the world, and said to have already cost more than $3,000,000. Jersey City haB recently been vis ited by flocks of owls, and they have begun the work of exterminating the English sparrows. The cotton factory at Brownsville, Tenn., burned on the 22d. Lobs $75, 000. One hundred hands are thrown out of employment. Hon. G. W. Lambertson, of Lin coln, has been appointed by the Pres ident U. S. district attorney for the district of Nebraska. The house made a very sudden change and reconsidered its action and adopted resolutions providing for the usual holiday recess. A vert large number of petitions have been presented in the senate for the increase of pensions to one-armed and one-legged soldiers. Later news from Washington states -that the President has fvithdrawn the nomination of G. M. jjambertson for district attorney of Nebraska. The majority for Begole for Gov ernor of Michigan is 4,571. The Re publican state ticket, except governor, waB elected by QLQQO majority. In one of hisijigfr rhstor1ekflightB the editor of tfie Omaha lleraldTskjB that the 'democratic party is like Providence. Oh God, what a god. A very high tide, which followed the recent furious tempest, haB cauBed much damage to railroads on the shores of Conception Bay, Newfound land. Secretary Folger haB decided that Sandwich Islands sugar is manufac tured according to the terms of the treaty, and entitled to entry free of duty. The British bark Langrigg Hall struck on the Turker rock off the coast of "Wexford ; twenty-four of the crew were drowned and only two saved. According to recent reports they have a very bad man at Lincoln by the name of Barnell, now under arrest for an unnatural assault upon his own , daughter. "There has never been in Amer ica, FOR ANY IMPORTANT PERIOD OF TIME, AND THERE NEVER CAN BE SUCH A THING AS A RAILROAD MONOPOLY." Omaha Republican. -Rj-'J. Alexander has been nomi nated for congress by the democrats of the Seventeenth Ohio district to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. J. F. Updegraff. Thos. Doyle and Katie A. Morgan, elopers, blew out the gas in a Roches ter, New York hotel the other night, and were suffocated to death. Ignor ance is not always bliss. President Arthur has nominated Rev. C. C Pierce, of Illinois, to be chaplain of the Ninth regiment of cavalry, and J. C. Bancroft Davis to be judge of the court of claims. Claude McSlyter, son of the aud itor elect of Howard county, Ind., is a fugitive, charged with the forgery of notes to the amount of $3,000. The money was used in speculations. For the first time we saw laet Sat urday a living mountain owl. His eyes were large and attractive, and his feathers nearly white. It wasn't the editor of the Omaha Republican. As the clerk at N. K. Fairbank & Cos lard refinery, St. Louie, was crossing the street in the evening to pay off the workmen he was set upon by four men and robbed of $1,300. The Supreme Court at Washington the other day denied habeas corpus in the political assessment case of Curtis, and affirmed the constitutionality of the law under which he was convicted. At Parksville, Kansas, J. D. Hast ings, professor of languages in Park college, was found dead in his room having committed 6uicide by strang ling with & cord fastened to the bedstead. A big fire broke out the other even ing in Jas. D. Warren's building, in Buffalo, N. Y., destroying the build ing, which cost $75,000. Other valu able buildings and furniture were destroyed, estimated at $175,000. Alfred Clock, aged 70, an old res ident of New York, was taken in band by bnnko men Thursday of last week, and fleeced out of $8,578. This makes a strong case in favor of the fact that all the "old fools' are not dead. The Republican party,' divested of its third-termers and bosses, its dead beats and robbers, its machine politi cians and ringsters (and it is getting rid of them as fast as time can move) will be found to possess vital resour ces and to be moving in the right direction. Cincinnati Commercial. . . The Rochester, N. Y., City Bank closed its doors the other morning. There is said to be a deficiency of $50,000. C E. Upton, president of the bank, it is FAid has bsen using the funds to carry on oil speculations. Greenwald, Rosenberg and Myers, Philadelphia jewelers, are in priBon charged with defrauding New York firms out of $28,000, by purchasing goods, disposing of them, feigning bankruptcy, and settling at 10 cents on the dollar. Judge Blodget sentenced SimB, the Indianapolis pension-crook, to five years in the penitentiary. Now if the fraudulent pensioners are stirred up, Uncle Sam may save some money to increase the pension of the true and deserving soldier. J. A. Wilson, treasurer of De Witt county, 111., comraifted suicide the other day by hanging himself with a halter. He had been speculating largely on grain, and hia losses are supposed to be heavy. He was re garded as worth $50,000. The following sentiment of Ben. Butler is commended to the prayerful consideration of the editors of the Lincoln Journal and Omaha Repub lican: "It is impossible for the press to successfully antagonize a conscien tious public sentiment." The case of Mrs. Scoville, adjudged insane recently at Chicago aud then granted a new trial, has been stricken from the docket by agreement. It. is believed by counsel that this action would end the domebtic troubles of the Scovilles in the courts. Last week three days continuous rain caused great floods in Washing ton Ty. and Oregon; mills, nouses and biidgas were carried away. The Pendleton river rose so rapidly that dwellers in some districts were forced to take refuge in the trees. At a dance-house the other morn ing in Leadville, two men named Miller and Cumraings began firing at each other, the latter and a spectator named Rearick, whose home is at Victoria,!!!., receiving mortal wounds, Miller escaping without a scratch. R. D. Whitehead, who came to this state to look after Maggie Hen necke, telegraphed the other day to the father of the missing girl that nothing could be learned in Hastings and that Brown, who claims to have found the three abductors, has gone to Iowa. While the cijjiUsswkeiH was penjiiffgj-enBtor Van Wyck's amend ment was agreed to, striking out the words "as far as possible," so as to re quire that the apportionment of offices among the states and territories shall be made absolutely on the basis of population. Changes in the English cabinet are completed, and the following minis ters have taken the oath of office be fore the queen in office : Lord Derby, secretary of(6tate for the colonies; Kimberly, secretary for India ; Hart ington, for war ; Cbilders, chancellor of the exchequer. The chairman of the congressional committee on public buildings does not think any new bills will be in troduced for the construction of pub lic buildings. Right again. Lower the expenses, watch the leaks, catch the thieves, punish 'the rogues, and save the people's money. The Omaha Republican says "Sen ator Saunders has introduced a bill to authorize the conatrnction of a bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs. We are in favor of a high board fence." Some people would not take the remark of the Republican as favor able to a spirit of public improvement. Boston has a ca6e believed to be genuine leprosy, developed in the alms house at Salem. Chas. Derby, the victim, arrived from San Francis co a week ago. Derby is well edu cated, and for some years was chief botanist at Honolulu to Queen Emma. He has been isolated, and his cloth ing burned. A. A. Kendall of St. Paul declares himself in favor of Judge Dundy of Falls City for U. S. Senator. While some of the Valentine post-masters are urging the necessity of uniting upon a north Platte candidate, this one supports a south Platte man. Does it all mean Mason on the "round up ?" West Point Is represented on Uncle Sam's pay roils as follows: E. K. Valentine, Uriah Bruner, N. Forbes, H. H. Freeze, Dr. Rawlins, Laurence Bruner and Eugene Moore. In addi tion, Gov. James, Dr. Schwenk and E. N. Sweet have been there inside of the last two years, says the Progress. Fremont Herald. R. D. Merrick, one of the counsel for the government in the star route cases, had his law office set on fire the other night for the purpose, he thinks, of destroying important papers in the star route casee, which were known to be in his office. The fire was extin guished with the loss of a few hun dred dollars, but all important papers saved. The Grand Island Times seems con siderably worried over the new paper, the Anti-monopolist. Saint Michael will probably realize that there is such a thing as the union of profession and practice, and that his masquerading as an anti-monopolist is too ethereal for Nebraska farmers, who are devel oping unusual shrewdness in knowing their real friends. The millenium does not seem to be very near at band. The reform of our civil service, to be effectual, must -divorce from politics, those functions of the government which are purely of a business nature, which should be exercised in a purely business way, in the interests of the whole people, and not, in any een6e, for partisan purpo ses ; .but the party which is in, at any given moment of our history, could Bot"see it in that light' and so the ideal government remains far remov ed from view. Why the Difference: To mankind in general, one of the most satisfactory attributes of the Deity is that he is no. respecter of persons. To resemble Deity in any of his attributes is certainly commen dable in mankind. If men were judg ed of by their fellows, not according to their surroundings and trappings, but according to their real character, what a very different world this would be, and how many of the race would be hunting among the poor and lowly for the true hero and heart-rnler? Then, too, how many who occupy a nominal eminence among men would be debased ? An ordinary man, yonr casual ac quaintance, perhaps, is charged with stealing a horse worth $50. A poor man he may be, whose family (lack ing his support), may come to want ; his temptation may have been very great, and his opportunity to do an 1 legal act too enticing for bis weak will. The proof being reasonably good, your $50 thief is generally sent to the penitentiary, on a verdict of his peers. How does it happen that perhapB the same jury, on testimony more strong, would return a verdict of "not guilty" in favor of a man who had stolen his thousands of dollars, and who reveled in bis ill-gotten money? One goes back to his family, min gles with mankind, is free to go and come, wears good clothes, smokes fine-scented cigars, and, while ho knows he is a thief, consoles himself with the Devil's doctrine that every man has his price ; that all will steal if they have a chance, and that so long as you are not convicted and puuished by the authorities it is all right t The other, the $50 thief, takes sad leave of his family; goes with the sheriff to the State's prison ; is there confined with other thieves, swind lers and murderers; is kept at hard labor, under close guard; lives on coarse fare, and is lost to old friends, to family and home, while within his breast rankles the thought of injustice as compared with the condition of the greater thief. If the scales of justice were more evenly balanced humanity would be nearer divinity, as less respecters of person. Why did not Van Wyck, tbat emi nent anti-monop. introduce a bill to have railroads patent their lands? He has been theeJojnuougifT' TtT doesjoHakcnaTverv long while after 1Tfellow gets at it. Van was not elected for that purpose by Mr. Rose water it seems. Rosey's men don't alwayB do what Rosey thinks they will. St. Paul Phonograph. It may not, as our esteemed con temporary remarks, "take a very long while," but it did require nearly four years for Mr. Valentine to discover what was needed and then only be cause it became a distinctive issue in the campaign. Van Wyck has intro duced a bill which requires not only the Union Pacific, but other land grant roads to take out patents on their lands. The Phonograph should have informed itself. Schuyler Sun. The Kearney Press of a recent date, in referring to an article in the Omaha Republican and the Kearney Era on this subject says : The publication of the articles above given, will convince every unbiased reader of the Press that both the edi tors of the Republican and Era have no regard for the truth. About 18 months ago the Press took up the subject of the untaxed lands of the U. P. Railroad Company and discuss ed the question of this evasion ot taxation, and a6ked Mr. Valentine some pertinent questions upon the subject. We sent him a marked copy of the paper containing the article, and know reasonably well tbat he re ceived the paper and read its contents. We sent him a paper, also, directed to Shelton, Nebraska, a few days before be delivered the address at our county fair, and know tbat he received it and that his attention was called to the article on untaxed U. P. lands. In said article we asked him to defiue his position, in his address, on that question. To make sure that he could have no excuse in not doing so, we requested Patrick Walsh to call his attention to the article in the Press, which he informed us he bad done. Mr. Valentine delivered bis address, and in it referred to the matter in a sneering way, by speaking of the howling of "certain blatherskite news paper editors," and dismissed the question of untaxed lands, by attack ing the Reagin bill for the regulatiou of inter-state commerce. No one knows better than Fred Nye, or the Rhone Brothers, that their statements, as well as Valentine's, are false ; we revert to the matter only to prove to the people that no reliance can be placed on the word of either of them, wheu politics and the interest of the U. P. road are under discussion. Val entine has known for years that these lands were untaxed and desired that they, should remain untaxed to save money to his owners, and when he says that be never knew until last fall, he states an unblushing falsehood. Senator Van Wyck reported to the senate his bill, agreed upon by the committee on public lands, which pro poses to compel railroad companies to pay taxes on the land granted them by the government. It provides that lands for which companies are enti tled to patents, on the payment of the expense of surveying, and yet refuse to take patents, shall within one year after the time that the com panies became entitled to patents, be forfeited to the United States and made a part of the public domain. The Union, Central and Kansas Pa cific are said to be the companies principally affected by this measure, the amount of land involved approxi mating fifteen millions of acres, locat ed in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Cali fornia. Gen. Thayer is making a tonr of the State in his own interest, as a can didate for U. S. Senator. Every once in a while we 6ee a mention of him in our exchanges, but, outside of a Grand Island paper, no decided expression in his favor. There is one thing be coming in the General, and in marked contrast with some other candidates for that position, who see that it is probably necessary to make profes sion of anti-monopoly principles. We have not noticed that the General is masquerading as an anti-monopolist. 1 A plan is proposed to publish a list of the parties now receiving p nsions from Uncle Sam, with a view to show ing up the fraudulent claims, and seems to be quito favorably received. The pension adepts at Washington, of course, are opposing the scheme with all the energy at their command, but this fact seems to be a pretty good argument in favor of the plan. There has been so much hue and cry about fraudulent pensions that it is time something was done to prove or dis prove the charges, and the publishing plan is about as good a one for hunt ing the supposed scallawaga up, as has yet been proposed. Let their names and the nature of their cases be pub lished, say we, that the people may read as they run. Norfolk Journal. Of course such publication would be opposed by pension frauds of all kinds, but the true .ind worthy sol diers who are entitled to more than all they receive, will be doubly thank ed for exposing the fraudulent pen sioners. It is claimed that the state printing contracts have been let this year at a saving of about $10,000, which makes it evident that the State Jonrual Com pany didn't get much of the work to do. The little talk and work for "reform" during the last two years have not been without their effect. Now if that proposed state-capitol-half-a-million-or-less appropriation can be cut down or scared off, and the penitentiary and other perfuncto ry job-work can be cut down to "the lowest living rates" for lobbyists it will be well for the tax-payers. Let the good work proceed without let, stay or hindrance. After awhile, it may be, the public will not be a goose to be plucked. The House the other day passed two appropriation bills, the agricul tural, aud military academy. Mr. Valentine, chairman of the agricul tural committee reported the bill, and at the proper time it was taken up and discussed and passed by a vote of 218 to 1. This bill appropriates $406,820, or $20,460 less than the bill of last year. It is claimed that by the pro visions of this bill much valuable in formation and instruction will be annually distributed to the agricul turists of the United States. How many farmers in Platte county have ever received any of this distributed information ? Whenever Senator Van Wyck moves to have ji rajroadjyiUipany made amenable to law, the ogre that runs the Omaha Republican rises and makes some remark about "Nebras ka's eminent demagogue in the sen ate." The trouble with General Van Wyck, in the eyes of the railroad organs, is tbat he is voicing the will of the people, understands their wants, and has enough independence of spirit to go in the direction they point. This is the reason why every thought of the General in the United States senate gives Nye and Gere the politi cal jim jams. The largest cattle sale ever made in America was concluded the other day by the live-stock companies of Swan Brothers, Swan & Frank and Swan & Anthony, all of Wyoming. The herds, including 87,000 head of cattle, with the ranches, buildings and graz ing privileges, were sold to a Scotch capitalist for the sum of $2,550,000. Mr. A. H. Swan retains an interest in the new firm. Ten years ago A. F. Swan and brother started in the cattle business in Wyoming with about $60,000 and now it is said are worth about a million each. Justice advocates the policy of organizing a political party to hold the balance of power, and throw to one side or another just as the corpo rations throw their influence, and thus make all political parties live up to their professions and serve the public interests, just as the corporations in the past have made both parties to a greater or less extent serve monopoly interests. If this lead is followed in Nebraska, both the republicans and democrats must select anti-monopoly candidates if they hope to succeed. If the railroad forces cannot secure a well-known, outspoken, downright agent of theirs as next U. S. Senator from Nebraska (and it doesn't now look as though they could), they will in all probability select as candidates men who have never taken a decided public stand either way, and who can be relied on to do their bidding,while at the same time seeming to be with the people. Any man occupying such a position is devoid of good sense aud political manhood, and will, soon or later be discarded by the people. Capt. A. C. Nutt, cashier of the Pennsylvania state treasury, was shot on the 23d inst., in his room in the Jennings hotel atNorristowu, Pa., the ball passing through his head and killing him instantly, by N. L. Dukes, a well known member of the Fayette county bar and member elect ot the state legislature. The trouble origi nated by Dukes writing, as it ia charged, some infamous letters to Nutt. Dukes was arrested. The affair created great excitement, but what was in the letters is not known. Van Wyck was so unmanageable in the U. S. Senate (according to the Omaha Republican) that he could not be trusted by his fellow republicans with the chairmanship of a committee, and now tbat he has been so trusted, the O. R. is not at all happy. Nye's auguries come about as close to the truth as bis alleged political facts; aud his insolent attitude toward the Senator is on a par with his wretched attempts to dictate the policy of the republican party in thiB state. mm Mathias Simmeruan, the murderer of Jnck Wood at Minden, was found guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentenced by Judge Gaslin to be banged on the 21st day of April next. A very large crowd was in attend ance at the trial, but all was quiet. The prisoner was taken from Kearney to Lincoln, for safe keeping pntil the day of bis execution. The community at Jefferson, Ohio, are excited over the defalcation of J. Fuller and H. L. St. John, cashier and assistant cashier of the Second Nation al, and a suspension of the bank pend ing investigation. Fuller has fled He is charged with speculating and using the bank's funds from $50,000 to $75,000. The depositors are not likely to loso auy money, the stockholders being liable for $200,000, which is more than the average deposits. Jay Gould, in his testimony before the committee of the New York State Senate, investigating "corners," said corners give the producers better prices and make large markets. Spec ulation benefits the home dealers, brings money to the country, and creates markets all over the world. Mr. Gould said he had spent large sums in aiding immigratiou. A panic was caused, he said, when men lose their balance, and rush to sell. A reporter to the State Journal says: The Commercial (at Lincoln) will be a lively place during the com ing session of our law and senator makers. The following persons have engaged rooms at this hotel, where their headquarters will be found dur ing the session : Alvin Saunders, J. H. Millard, A. S. Paddock, C. F. Man derson, G. W. E. Dorsey, J. M. Thay er, A. H. Connor,W. H. Aahby, David Butler and E. K. Valentine. Washington society is astonished at rumors current that within a few nights a Justice of the Supreme Court lost several thousand in a gaming house, and ouly left the table when the proprietor refused to further honor his personal checks. Whether true or not, it is too true that many men standing in high stations as well as low, are guilty of this enticing vice which has carried so many men down to perdition. The severest earthquake shocks ever felt at Concord, N. H., occurred on the 19th. They were al60 felt in Pittsfield, Great Falls, Manchester and other place's. The shocks lasted about eight seconds. The buildings shook so badly that people iu their fright rushed into the streets. The concussion was so great in some buildings as to extinguish the gas lights. Mr. Joyce of the house and Mr. Logan of the senate have introduced bills which require every telegraph and cable company to receive and for ward the business of any other com pany whether it relates to business of the company offering it, or otherwise. It also makes it a misdemeanor for any other person transmitting to send and examine the same. A man giving his name as W. F. Watson forged a draft for $5,679.48 which was cashed the other day in the Buffalo Trader's bank. This dar ing forgery was perpetrated primarily on the National Bank of Commerce ot Cleveland, Ohio, causes a loss to the Manhattan bank of New Orleans. As soon as the draft was paid Wat son fled. All we know about corners is that we hate to get into one. Omaha Re publican. The Republican's answer to the question, Who is the Republican's candidate for United States senator? shows you are in a terribly close corner. NOTICE OF CONTEST.
