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

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.
