Twenty-three 'dead bodies hare been foaad ia Hlf hssead 9 On the presentation lately of a peti tion to congress asking that measures be takea by national authority to col lect exact iaforsMtioa in regard to the marriage laws ;of the several states aad territorte':immeclJete objection was aside by Baadatt aid Holman to eveaVthe reception of the petition or tolts reference to the judiciary com mittee, because, they said, it is a mat ter with which the states alone have a right to deal. As to the- sentiment thus expressed by these eminent Dem ocratic political doctors, the Chicago Times, which always upholds the idea' that we have a national existence, has this to say : This Bourbon notion is absurd and monstrous. Its absurdity appears upon the perfectly obvious act that, the matter is one with which the states severally are totally incapable of dealing. ' That they, acting sever ally, can make a law on any subject for all, is ah absolute and natural im possibilitv. That their several judi catures, standing independent of each other, could agree ia their decisions upon 'different laws, or even upon a common law, is equally an absolute and natural impossibility. The evils, then, that are the offspring of different and conflicting local laws and judi catures are beyond all possibility of remedy by any possible local action. Yet, the voice of mediaval Bourbon ism proclaims that it is an exclusive function of the several provinces to perform the impossible ! It is monstrous because it is a dec laration that some of the worst evils that ever have appeared in -any hnman society evils that are corroding the social foundations, working corrup tion of blood, attainting citizens with out conviction or even accusation Of crime,di6establl8hiBg justice and mak ing its establishment impossible, to say nothing of the decay of public.and private morality that is the inevitable concomitant, are without remedy. It is not in the possible power of the local agencies to remedy them, be cause they are not local evils, but evils general to the whole nation. But, the national authority must not presume to deal with them, because it is a. misty doctrine of primitive Bour bons that they are exclusively an affair'of the local agencies I It is hard to imagine any theory more mon strous, or more infamouB in the con sequences it contains. It is a corollary of this Bourbon dogma that Illinois may establish the marital system of Turkey, or of the sultanate of Morocco; that Indiana may institute the harem and surround it by Indiana law with all the volup tuous appurtenances of the Moslem heaven ; that Wisconsin may legalize the matrimonial system and practice of Solomon, David, and other holy characters of ancient Israel, while Iowa, preferring the system of pro miscuity found among the Papuans, may sanction that, and Kansas, pre ferring the "marriage by groups" ar rangement -that marked a slight ad vance from the preceding, may sanc tion that ; but with none of these local matrimonial systems, nor with the singular, one that is actually found in Utah, can the national authority inter fere ; "it is a matter with which the states alone have a right to deal 1" Common sense and common de cency hold a different opinion. Even the paper instrument to which Bour bon humbug is so extremely fond of appealing, compels a different opinion. It was enacted "to establish justice," not to prevent its establishment; to "promote the general welfare," not to enable local legislators to destroy it; to furnish a legal guaranty against the evils that mediaval Bour bonism seeks to protect, not to en courage venerable humbugs to pre sume our national idiotcy by telling us that there is in the constitution no power to remedy them. We have never thought that the Lasker resolutions and the disposi tion of .them by Bismark were of any particular significance, beyond show ing a growing sentiment in this coun try that the United States should evidence a livelier interest in foreign matters bearing on the general wel fare of thebuman race, and also that the haughty chancellor did not wish to be put into an attitude where he would seem to be instrumental in helping to belittle his own policy that he had regarded as best for Germany. It will take something more than this to make the people of this country "break" with Prussia, which Euro pean power, with Bussia, showed friendship to our government, at a time when it was greatly needed; when Louis Napoleon was maneuver ing to get a foothold in Mexico, and the English government were con niving with the Confederates; when, to jnaay of the outside world, it seemed probable' that the Union was about to be severed, and a new gov ernment inauguratedwith slavery as the chief corner stone, and the pow erful governments of England and France as guardians. . Even now, nearly a quarter of a century after the events, the deeds and 'designs of Na polean and, the British aristocracy are by no means forgotten, and with a very lively sense of gratitude to wards Prussia and Russia for the friendly attitude they assumed in that crisis. It needed not any reference to it as was made by the Chancellor the other day in the Reichstag, to convince the Auerican people of the sincerity of his friendship to the Uni ted States government As the Inter Ocean has well said "It was of the right sort and was courageously man ifested, and has not. been forgotten." A disastrous collision took place on the B. & M. near Plattsmoutb, Neb., 'the other evening, between a passenger traia and a construction train cpasistiag of an engine and one car. The trains came, together with terrific force, the engine of Kansas City being raised completely a the air aad turned into a perfect wreck, while the engine of the construction : train was smashed into splinters. The cars of the Kansas City train were about telescoped, the first of. them beiag completely demolished. On the traia were about aeveaty passen gers, of whom oaly four were serious ly injared. Wrraoi six miles of Pawaee City there has beea foaad aad opened one of the best coal mines ia the state of Nebraska; The miae belongs to J. B. Hsaderssa, eft Pawaee City, who keeps 15 asea at work, aad tads ao trouble ia dlsposiag of the coal as fast as it is miaed, at 26 coats a bushel. This soaadf like When fanners in Nebraska are compelled to enclose their pasture grounds into small ranges on the na tive grasses, it is claimed that the' present grasses will- aeon run-out. Doubtless farmers ia the settled parts of the state will, aeon or;Jatetr bo forced to fence their. lands to accom modate their stock and to prevent strange stock from trespassing Upon their leads. - It is a very important question to those interested how they may continue good wholesone'grass, pastures. It is claimed by persons who have tried the Waegraes iatbis climate that.' it will prove a success and should at once be introduced to .the pasture fields; so as to be ready when the native-grasses give, but. Farmers aad dairy 'men who have had experieace with the tame grasses claim that they improve with age, and have been kaown to continue in t the same-sod for sixty years, and at the end of that time show no signs of failure. It is the universal testimony of those who use such pastures for their stock that they yield better re turns in milk than auy recently re steded grounds. Year after year the sod becomes thicker, and will, afford a good, fresh bite from May to No vember. If this is a reasoaable and truthful statement, and certainly we have no good reason to doubt its cor rectness, it is the very kind of pas tures that the farmers of Nebraska need, aad the kind, her climate will produce. The farmers who guard against thircoming necessity for good pastures will reap a rich harvest by speedy action in getting in tame grasses, and it. caa be obtaiaed by sowing the seed on the sod prairie grass as the frost is coming out of the ground. Cattle Cdsitasrtonu Men havipg large and small inter ests in cattle are looking with anxiety towards the infected herds in Wood son county in the southeastern part of Kansas, and hoping that the mala dy may speedily be stamped out. We have not space for all particulars concerning the fearful disease, but will give a few of the more important The disease is very contagious, easily carried from herd to herd, and indeed it is reported that two Scotchmen carried it to Kansas in their clothing from an infected herd in Scotland. "The disease first appears in a ring around the legs of the animal, as if burned by a rope at the first joint. Below this the foot rots and falls off. Sometimes this is just above the boof, sometimes at the joint above. Life departs from all below and there is nothing to prevent the hoof from freezing. The animals hobble around on the stumps, many with one, two, three and some with all four hoofs gone. Then they must lie down and either be killed or die from exhaus tion." Last week mass conventions were held in Woodson, Lyon, Marion, Chase, Butler and Greenwood coun ties and petitions sent to Gov. Glick to call an extra session of the legisla ture to take action. The importance of the matter may be imagined when it is known that the disease, so severely fatal, can be conveyed in the clothing of men crossing the fields where infected cattle have been kept, and that the germs of the disease would remain ia stables, corrals, cars, etc., for six months, also that sheep as well as cattle are subject to its ravages. There are just two principles ap plicable in the running of all govern ments, from the least even unto the greatest ; the duty of the official is to enforce the laws, the duty of the citi zen to obey the laws ; all the troubles arise from a violation of one or both these principles. Is it a fact, for in stance, as currently reported, that in a recent arrest for violation of law a county official was allowed to escape? Are not officers of the law amenable to the law ? Should one official shield another when he is in the act of vio lating the law ? If so, then the law becomes a respecter of persons, and the very object for which U is insti tuted, namely the proteclioa of indi viduals in their just rights, is sub verted, and what was intended for good becomes an engine of evil. Let this child's play be stopped. It is high time to have done with it. No citizen, be he the humblest man who labors daily for his daily bread, or the highest official servant of the public, but should receive the protection of law when necessary, and be visited by its penalties when violated. It will not be amiss for the general public to open its eyes and ears a little, and inform itself of the would be rulers of the land. John T. Cains, delegate from Utah, made argument the other.day before the honse committee on territories pronouncing the Edmund's bill and Cassidy. bill in relation to polygamy as unconstitutional. He admitted the right of the government to punish polygamy as a crime if they desired to do so, but nevertheless the Mor mons believed that it was right. He recited the example of the patriarchs in support of their belief. It is stated that at a recent meeting of the barbed wire makers at St. Louis, steps were taken for the prac tical consolidation of all the barbed wire manufacturers of the country' under the name of the National Barbed Wire company. Another meeting will be held soon to complete the organization. The action has caused an advance of one cent in the price of wire. Gciteau said to C. H. Reed, oae of his counsel, the day before he was banged, in answer to the Inquiry, "Had you" aay'accomplice, or did aay person beside you know anything" about your intention to kill the pres ident?"

I see by your paper some advice to farmers Jo hold on to their farms ; they might as well, if- they expect to have any in the United States. Land is three times as high here, as in Ne braska, now. C. Lee. Eight 'thousand plants are in the White House conservatory proper, and 12,000 mors in the various hot houses. This collection includes plants from every quarter of the globe, and it costs 15,000 a year to tend them. Every room in the White House is decorated every morning with fresh flowers, and a huge bou quet is made for the president. The Senate committee on public lands have made an important report in presenting a bill allowing railroad companies whose grants are declared forfeited by Congress the right to go into the U. S. circuit courts and sub stantiate, if they can, their claims whether in law or in equity, to retain their grants ; also any others who may bo iujured by such forfeitures. The west is to have some of the benefits of the new fast mail train from New York which now arrives at Chicago from that city every day at 12:25 a. m. A special train leaves Chicago about 3:30 a. m., and arrives at Omaha at 8 the same evening. -The fast train connects at Omaha with the west-bound Union Pacific train one day earlier than heretofore. It is stated that a meeting has been arranged for the Czar of Russia and the emperor of Germany at Darm stadt in June. The presence of the emperor of Austro-Hungary has not yet been decided. Bismarck de Giers aad Prince Orloff will accompany their sovereigns. The meeting will result in a great diplomatic confer ence. Cattle men at Kansas City have become generally excited over the feared increase of the mouth and foot disease among the vast herds of cattle throughout Kansas and the Indian territory. The disease has only ap peared in two counties in Kansas, and several hundred cattle are now af flicted in the vicinity-of Woodson Co. W. H. Reid, convicted of man slaughter for killing his wife was sen tenced the other day at Beatrice, to ten years imprisonment in the peni tentiary and to pay the costs of pros ecution. The court also ordered that on the 22d day of July of each year, the day the murder was committed, he be confined in a solitary ceil. jronci. Tan State of Nebraska,? ...
