Salt Lake proposes to boycott the Union Pacific for having raised the rate on ore. The Child's Hospital and Home at Omaha contains twenty-one children, and there is no room for more. America magazines that sell for 35 cents here bring 18 cents in Lon don. Has protection anything to do with this? The greater portion of the wheat crop of California is stored, and will not be 6ent to market until priceB grow better. The voters of Brown county, this state, by a largo majority, voted in favor of a division of the county on tho'east and west line. The French commander in Tonquin reportB another engagement with the Chinese, in which the latter were defeated with heavy loss. CAn. Pim, It. N., believes that a railwav for the transportation of cattle to England, between Cheyenne and Hudson's Bay, is feasible. At a recent analysis of the stomachs of the horses recently supposed to have been poisoned near Sutton, Nebr., one of the eleven was found to contain poison. There will be no life senators under the Republic of France after the pres ent appointeeB die. This looks as if France was gradually working into the true republican idea. Protests against the adoption of the Spanish treaty were made by the iron-ore interests at Cleveland, and by tho National Sugar Growers As sociation at its convention in St. Louis. From all accounts Lord Wolseley's expedition to Egypt is likely to cost tho British government $75,000,000. The London journals are getting im patient alike at the meagreaess of the news and the plan of the campaign. The last German blue book pro duced quite a sensation in London last week. It seems that the German colonization in Africa has been "vir tually duo to England hauteur and her posing as the national protector of all nowly discovered countries. An earthquake shock occurred the other morning at Laconia, N. H., and was felt in all the adjoining towns, the heaviest jr.r was at Centre Harbor, lasting half a ininnte. The vibration seemed to come from a northerly di rection and pass toward the eouth. Mr. Barker is getting very much out of temper and in an unguarded moment tho otheraftornoon at Wash ington, visited Judge Lawrence and told him that if he brought out any thing derogatory to his (Barker's) character, he would do so at his per sonal peril. Arrangements have been perfected under which the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will run express cars to St. Paul. At St. Paul tho cars will con nect with thoso of the Northern Pacific Express Company. This makes an express line from ocean to ocean with but one change. Everything was reported quiet at Angus aud Snake Creek, Iowa, among the striking miners last week. One company of the State troops is still kept on duty at Snake Creek aud will probably remain there several days. It is believed that the back bone of the strike is broken and the men will soon return to work. In the ruins of tho burned Catholic orphan asylum at Brooklyn, the charred bodies of nine boys and two grown persons have been discovered. Tons of rubbish and timbers are yet to bo removed, and there are fears that other corpses will be fouud. The roster of the littlo ones shows about 120 as missing, but these are supposed to bo housed in the neighborhood. Forty or fifty years ago, when there was no agitation of the woman euft rage question, Talleyrand, the great French author and statesman, wroto as follows: "To 6eo one-half of the human race excluded by the other half from all participation in govern ment is an anomaly which, according to abstract principles of right, it is impossible to explain." The inmates of the reform school at Kearney have done some real good work this summer. They have cul tivated and raised 1,500 bushels of potatoes, S00 bushels of onions, 45 bushels of white beans, 1,000 bushels of oats, 300 bushels of rye, GOO bushels of beets, 100 bushels of carrots, two barrels of onion seed, 4.000 head of cabbage, 5,000 bunches of cellery and CO acres of good corn. The prospects of the Nile expedi tion are considered gloomy by ex perts of the military clubs in London. According to their analysis of tho situation, it will take until the middle of January to get the bulk of the force to Atnbukal. Then it will re quire fift j' days hard work on the river to get the troops to Khartoum. This calculation briugs the expedi tion towards the end of March. The hog thieves that infested the country around Fairmont, Fillmore county, Neb., have all been arrested. Policeman Clark Robison arrested a young man, Wm. McEwen, jr., on suspicion, at Red Cloud the other day, and he gave away the whole gang. Wm. McEwen, Grant Deweest and James Simpson gave $1,000 bonds for appearance at court. A. E. and L. M. Leek failed to givo bond and will board at the jail until court convenes. ly MMMmalbUitr. Tho Republican party is largely in the ascendency in Nebraska, and has been pledged squarely and fairly, by party utterances, as favoring restrict ive railroad legislation. Heretofore, by one means or anoth er, the railroad companies have suc ceeded in preventing any effective work against their oppressive rates. They have always managed to have the executive and the legislative heads in their interest, and nearly always have dictated the appointment df every important committee in either branch of the legislature, so as vir tually to control tho action of those bodies. TbOBO who have watched the course of recent legislatures will remember that the first contest, in the Senate, has been on the question of the ap pointment of committees, whether it should be by the body or by the lieu tenant governor the latter being in variably a railroad subservient, dictat ed to political conventions. In the HouBe, virtually the same contest has clustered around the clectiou of speak er, and has nearly always resulted in victory for the railroads. It is very natural to suppose that the programme marked out is about as usual, with an understanding, we think, that the members belonging to the railroads can show $littlo more apparent independence than hereto fore, but in all esseutial matters fol low instructions. It is safe to say that such "whelps" have been found in every legislature which for years has thwarted legisla tion on this subject; we call them "whelps," because they deserve no better name ; elected through profes sions of loyalty to the people's inter ests, they are as obedient to the men who buy thorn as tho dog is to his master. Patience has ceased to be a virtue, herein. By -issues will not do. Pro hibition dodges to take up time aud divert attention will not be looked on with favor. The people of Nebraska will hold the Republican party to account for something substantial in the way of railroad legislation, this session, and members elect should be ready to meet their responsibility like honest men and faithful representa tives of the people's interests. Politicians at London have found a new subject to wrangle over in a speech delivered by Henry Campbell Bannerman. He succeeded George Otto Trevelyan as chief secretary for Ireland October 21st laBt, and this speech is his first public utterance of note since hi3 assumption of office. He openly advocates a more liberal form of government for Ireland. He said the great mistake made by tho English in their treatment of Ireland lay in the fact that their policy is too obviously one of "Benevolent Con sideration." The Irish ho contended being a proud and sensitive people, they resent this attitude of patronage, whereas if they were given laws and institutions which their needs re quire, and to which the country was peculiarly adapted, they would be come as loyal as the Scotch. Ban nerman's speeches are a sure indica tion to politicians that the British government has decided to make a new departuro in tho Irish policy, and one in the direction of greater liberalism. Horpible reports still come from the plague-stricken districts of Vir ginia and Tennessee. The inhabitants of any other section of the country would get up and pull out of such a place when they found everything drying up rather than stay there to starve and to die. No live westerner would sit around and patiently wait for grim death to cut him down and the grave to swallow him up. Fre mont Tribune. We don't think those remarks arc exactly justified by the facts bearing upon the question. The "live west erner" has shown a remarkable dis position to "stick to the ship," as was well demonstrated during the grass hopper scourgo in early days. To be sure the cases are not parallel as re gards the plague, as a healthy, salu brious climate we certainly had. The 'hoppers couldn't eat it. The following questions and an swers which appear in the Omaha Republican may be of interest to readers of the Journal : H. S., York, Nebraska "Will you please answer the following Questions: 1. Has the homestead law been changed? 2. Is a person required to erect at ouce a house 12x14 and do some breaking? 3. Must a single man move onto the claim the same as a married man? 1. The law iu relation to resi dence has not been changed. 2. There i& no specification as to the size of house so long as it is inhabited. The law is the same for single as for married men. The applicant for a homestead is allowed six months after entry to build a house, break some land, and thus establish a resi dence. A failure to establish a resi dence within six mouths after entry is prima facie evidence of abandon ment. The "Nebraska County Officers' Association," at Lincoln, perfected its organization to bo known by the above name, appointed its committees and gave them their work in the way of securing reform iu the laws of the State. No one questions the motive of the association in trying to reform and amend many of the laws of the State, as by all practicable experience they have proved a complete failure in many instances, which the action of the association in due time will de velope, so as to convince the members of the coming legislature of the neces sity of the changes demanded in the present laws. The association ad journed on the 18th subject to the call of the president. A Scotch farmer determined, in spite of the bad times, to pay his rent if it were his last shilling, and saying to his landlord, who received it, "It is my last shilling," he threw down a roll of notes. The landlord counted them and said: "There is 50 too much." "Odds, man," said the far mer, "I nut mv hand in the wronir J pouch." CONClKEStilOIVAE.. Suimry ef tke Meat Imprtsmt Itolags of the Bdy. SENATE. Van Wyck offered a whereas and resolution favoring an open discus sion of treaties which concern matters of revenue. Wilson objected, and the matter went over one day. The Oregon Central land forfeiture bill was resumed and Plumb's amend ment agreed to, 33 to 11, repealing the act of March 3, '65, which allowed settlers on railroad lands subsequent ly forfeited to locate an amonnt equal to the original entry withont addi tional. The bill was discussed at some length by Sherman, Morgan and "Van Wyck. The unfinished business prevented further action and the bill for the ad mission of Dakota was taken up and Pnllnm'a intnr-atfttn commerce bill. the special order for the day, had no opportunity of being considered. Logan presented a large number of petitions from the tobacco and cigar manufacturers and labor organiza tions of Illinois, New York and other states protesting against tho ratifica tion of the Spanish treaty. He also presented a petition signed by over 7,600 ex-soldiers of the Union army praying congress to purchase, for tho capital at Washington, a portrait of General Thomas. The chair laid before the Senate Van Wyck's resolution providing for considering commercial treaties in open session. Miller moved referenco to commit tee on foreign relations. Hoar raised a point of order that the matter should be considered with closed doors. Hawley seconded the motion. The senate then went into secret ses sion. In secret session Van Wyck's resolution was referred to the com mittee on foreign relations. In fifteen minutes the doors were re-opened and the 6enate took up the Dakota bill. The Dakota bill was informally laid aside at the request of Mr. Hill in order to give him an opportunity to address the Senate on the suspen sion of coinage of silver, which he did at some length and in which Shear man, Allison and Beck participated. The chair appointed a committee of fourteen, including Logan and Cam eron (Wis.), to attend the executive mansion and take part in tho cere mony of opening the New Orleans exposition. Miller (N. Y.) reported favorably from the committee on foreign affairs the bill to authorize the president to accept invitations from foreign gov ernments to inter-national expositions and to appoint commissioners there to, and appropriating $25,000 at the disposal of the President to cover the necessary disbursements in such cases. Hale reported a bill for the tempo rary provision of the naval service. Lapham presented remonstrances against the ratilication of the Nicarau gua treaty. Shearman presented the point of order that the treaty was ex ecutive business, and that remon strances should be presented in ex ecutive session. Lapham withdrew the remonstrances. Cockerell from the committee on military affairs, reported adversely the petition of tho members of George Strong Post, G. A. R., of Fairfield, Iowa. The petitioners want some of the surplus in the treasury to mako up what they lost by reason of the depreciation of the money in which they were paid from 1SG2 to 18G5. A resolution was agreed to, calling upon the secretary of state for infor mation respecting our foreign trade with Mexico aud Central and South American states, Cuba, Porto Rico and San Domingo. The Dakota bill was further debat ed aud Garland's substitute lost by a party vote, yeas 27, nays 31. The bill was then voted on as it came from the committee and passed, also by a party vote, yeas 34, nays 28. The bill now goes to the House. Cullora called up the inter-state commercial bill, so as to occupy the place of unfinished business. Platte gave notice that on the dis posal of the above measure he would move that the Senate take up the bill for the admission into the Union of the state of Tacoma. Van Wyck introduced a bill to fix the rate of transmission of messages by telegraph west of the Missouri river not to exceed the average rates cast of said river to the seaboard. The bill was referred. The chair laid tho inter-state com merce bill before tho Senate and Slater submitted the proposed amend ment to be moved by him, embodying the provisions of the Reagan bill. Hoar presented a memorial from the woman's suffrage party, protest ing against the admission of Dakota on a constitution made by men alone and denying the rights of women. The bill was passed appropriating $50,000 for erecting a statue to the memory of General Lafayette." Van Wyck introduced two bills, one to increase the pensions of wid ows and dependant relatives of de ceased soldiers aud sailors, the other to grant pensions to invalid depend ant pensioners who served three months in the war of the rebellion. house. On motion of Mr. Ellis, the concur rent resolution was passed declaring congress unable to attend the opening of the world's exposition at New Orleans. The session of the 13th was almost entirely taken up by a personal wran gle, principally between Taylor and Warner, both of Ohio. During the controversy Warner charged that Taylor's army service during the civil war was confined to the membership of the Ohio home guard. Taylor re torted that the only wound Warner over received was in the back. Ten pension bills, including one of $30 a month to Emma DeLong, were passed at the evening session. The speaker presented to the house a communication from the postmaster general asking for an appropriation of $100,000 for the postal car servico and $75,000 for tho pay of clerks.

Strang, late cadet iu the naval acade my at Annapolis, being reported that bis death was caused by cruelties practiced on him by senior cadets. A motion was made to set aside Jan. 16th for consideration of the McPherson and Dingley bills. The matter was debated at some length by Yaple and Henderson, after which the motion to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution was agreed to by a vote of 174 to 87, the exact neces sary two-thirds in the affirmative. Lacy, from' the committee on coin age, weights and measures, moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill prohibiting the issue of treasury notes lesB than $5 and providing for the issue of oue, two and fivo dollar sil ver certificates. Brown and Cook discussed tho question. The question was then put to suspend tho rules and resulted yeas 49, uays 216. Hopkins, from the committeo on labor reported a resolution requesting the attorney general's opinion wheth er the eight hour law applied to letter carriers. The President appointed a commit tee of one from each state and terri tory to attend the executive mansion and witness the opening of the New Orleans exposition. The committee includes Hill, Henderson, Laird and Rankin. Aiken, from the committee on agri culture, moved to suspeud the rules and pass a bill to establish a depart ment of agriculture. Blounts, Potter aud Browne spoke in opposition to the motion, which was advocated by Wilson, Aiken, Budd, Hurdeman and Cox. Tho motion to suspend the rules was agreed to, yeas 166, nays 69. A bill was passed amending section 3,940 of the Revised Statutes relatiug to forwarding mail matter of the sec ond, third and fourth classes on which postage had been once paid in full. .A resolution was passed providing for a holiday recess from the 20th of December until the 5th of January. Reagan debated the bill at some length and a vote was taken on sub stituting the Reagan bill for the first seven sections of the committee bill, and it was agreed to yeas, 143; nays, 97. The rcmainining portions of the committee bill for the appointment of a commission, fcc, were stricken out, 118 to 60. Several amendments were propos ed. One by O'Hara that any person having purchased a ticket to be car ried from one state to another or paid the required fare, shall be afforded equal facilities as other persons hold ing tickets of the same class without discrimination. The amendment was agreed to, yeas, 135 ; nays, 97. Blount moved a reconsideration. 0'IIara moved to lay Blount's mo tion on the table. Pending this ques tion the house adjourned. The inter-state commerce bill was under consideration and was subject ed to a good many motions, amend ments, &c, finally ending in a long discussion. Mr. Reed ironically ex pressed his pleasure at seeing the question changed from oue of color into one of assortment. Mills offered an amendment prohib iting any railroad company from charging auy person who is to be con veyed from one state to another, any sum exceeding three cents per mile for the distance to be traveled. The amendment was adopted, yeas 139, nays 121. Breckenridge moved the following amendment, "Provided that no discrimination be made on account of race or color," which was agreed to, yeas 141. nays 103. The inauguration of the World's Exposition at Washington and New Orleans, occurred on the 16th inst. At New Orleans thousauds of people collected to witness the opening ceremonies. At Washington one or two hundred guests had been invited and were present with President Arthur, who at the proper time de livered a brief and very appropriate address, at the conclusion of which it was telegraphed to New Orleans and read there by Col. Gus. A. Breaux, when he had reached the concluding sentence declaring tho exposition open, and at the same moment the President in Washington closed the electric circuit and the machinery at New Orleans was put into motion. A. large portrait of President Arthur was placed in the center of the plat form and was greeted with applause. Mayor Guillotte then feelingly wel comed the visitors to New Orleans. A Norwich woman wanted to dis pose of a cat and kittens with chloro form the other day, and tried to give them a little laudanum in their milk first, to make them easy to handle. But the old cat refused to drink the doctored milk, cuffed the kittens away from it, and then covered up the saucer with a mat. The cats still live. On the spot iu high street, Oxford, on which Ridley, and Latimer were burned at tho stake, there is now a small brass cross, over which hun dreds of drays pass daily, not 5 per cent, of whose drivers ever heard of the fires of persecution once kindled there. The recent cold wave struck iu the vicinity of Sioux City on the night of the 16th inst. Next morning it was 10 degrees below zero. At Yankton it was 12 below ; at Sioux Falls 24 below. The change is so sudden that it is very severe on the people. Fremont's electric lights fail to come up to the expectations of the I people. WASHINGTON TERRITORY. Imtereitiac Letter from a Fo: or Resident of Colaiabns. Seattle, W. T., Dec. 9, 1884. Editor Joubnal As the Journal comes from my old home, I usually read about all it contains, so of course saw the itcmB about Wasbingtpn Ty. iu your issue of the 3d Inst., and as they are both wrong I wish to make correction. Yuu say that "about 1200 women voted" at tho late electiou held here. Now you are a long ways wrong in those figures. Where do you get such information anyway? It must be that you have it from republican headquarters at Portland, from the same source that kept sending news east that Armstrong was elected long after it was well known that Voor- hees was the elected one. Any one Beeiug that item would think Wash ington Ty. had but few women and that they did not care to vote when they have the chance. Of the forty twu thousand votes cast in this terri tory, at least ten thousand were cast by women. There aro more women here than most people of tho east thiuk for, and they are as intelligent and good looking as the women of any state or territory iu the Union ; furthermore, they tako a very lively interest in politics, as mauy an un worthy caudldato can testify. Party lines do uot restrain them ; principle and the boat men is what they go iu for every time. There would not be a democrat elected as delegate to congress were it not that women voted. The democrats declared that the unearned portion of the N. P. R. R. land grant should be forfeited, which would restore to the public about one-third of this territory. Tho wo men saw at once that this wa9 right. So they supported the moasure and the candidato representing it and overcame a republican majority that would have reached at least seven thousand on straight party vote. In local affairs they likewise disregard ed party lines and voted for such men as proinisod to enact tho best laws and those that promised to faith fully enforce them. You also say that Mrs. Dunniway was over here and was well received ; it is true she made some speeches but she was not well received ; it was generally knowu that sho was here iu the interest of the N. P. R. R., conse quently most poople had no use for her. The women generally were pretty much disgusted with her; here at Seattle she received such a cool reception that she remained but one day, instead ot several, as was the in tention. Very respectfully, John Schram. Ik thirty years the population of this country has doubled. In the same time the facilities for manufac turing purposes have increased .about ten-fold. It is stated that the children iu an Ohio Sunday School are raising money for missionary purposes by gathering waste paper and selling it. A Massachusetts man has discov ered a sure euro for sea-sickness. It is a counter-irritant in the shape of a mild blister application behind the ear.

A company in the upper part of New Jersey is making counterpanes and pillow shams of paper, which retail at 75 cents a set. The two daughters of John Bell, the Presidential candidate of I860, are keeping a young ladies' academy on Chesnut Hill, Boston. The police force of London num bers 12,662, making it half as large as the regular army of the United States. It takes 25,000 people packed as in a political meeting to fill an acre. It takes a dentist an hour to fill an aker. Twenty-two thousand eight hun dred and twenty-two patents were granted during the last fiscal year. There are 340 bunting packs in England, comprising 10,000 hounds. Their annual cost is $l,7aU,UUU. Laura Sanborn has taught a school for forty-three years in Alexandria, N. II., aud adjoining towns.
