WEDNESDAY, FEB. 11, 1886.
McAllister has introduced a bill
to prevent removal of causes by in
surance companies from state to U. 8.
courts.
Potnteb has introduced a bill to
provide for the location of a state
normal 6chool north of the Platte;
also another to locate at Albion.
The Began bill having passed the
House and the Cullom bill the Senate,
it seems likely that we shall get no
railroad legislation from this congress.
Rossi's wound is reported as doing
well. There is no inflammation or
swelling. It is stated that he will be
able in a few days to leave the
hospital.
Express and telegraph companies
need some attention from our legisla
tors. We believe their monopoly is
a little more grinding than that of
the railroads.
Mrs. Dudley said in a recent in
terview that many of the Btories con
cerning her are vicious lieB. She
said she was never confined in any
'English prison.
At Dublin, Irish nationalists are
circulating the report that Mrs. Dud
ley was in the pay of the English gov
ernment, and was sent to New York
by the London police.
The Plattsmonth Herald objects to
the state board of agriculture that
"it Ib self-perpetuating and no out
sider need apply. It Is wrong from
the ground up, and ought to be re
organized." A very important telegraphic in
vention haB been recently perfected.
Dispatches are sent and received on
a railroad train, anywhere between
stations, while the train is in motion.
Lucus S. Phelps is the inventor.
Representative Irwin informs us
that House Roll 234 passed the House
Feb. 7th, 78 members voting for it, the
remainder being absent. It is the bill
limiting railroad fare to three cents a
mile,and containing minor provisions.
Judges Maxwell and Reese have
given it as. their opinion that a major
ity of voters present at a scffool meet
ing may adjourn from time to time,
while two-thirds are necessary to
designate a site for a school house.
From the way in which the Fre
mont Herald praises Col. Vilas as
the prospective post-master general,
it would seem that friend Smails is
not very favorable to the appoint
ment of Dr. Miller to that responsible
position.
Remarking upon the action of the
State Senate the other day in recom
mitting the bill for three-cent pas
senger rate, the Norfolk Newt says
that the people of Nebraska are pa
tient, but there is a limit to human
endurance.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to assess insurance com
panies doing business in this state a
tax of two Der cent, on their Ne
braska business. Not a bad idea, if
they are prevented from adding that
amount to their rates.
A subscription list for the defense
of Mrs. Dudley, who attempted to
kill Rossa, has been opened at
Toronto. News also comes from
London that a movement has been
started in Nottingham to raise a fond
to pay the expenses necessary to her
defense.
It is now stated at London that
further investigation shows that
when Mrs. Dudley learned that she
had been deceived by a mock mar
riage sho became mad and declined
to pro6ecuto her betrayer. Intimate
friends say that her love for her
children was intense, and when they
died she became insane.
The papers who decry Senator Van
Wyck would do well to devote a por
tion of their prccions space and time
to informing us what any other rep
resentative wo have in congress is
doing. Wo seldom hear from Ne
braska, only through Van Wyck ; he
shoots high sometimes, but he always
makes bis bird flutter. Blair Pilot.
Representative W. J. Irwin hat
introdnced a bill (No. 217) which pro
vides that personal taxes shall be
come delinquent Feb. 1st, and draw
10 per cent, interest, and all taxes
unpaid, delinquent May 1st, with 10
per cent, interest from that date, in
terest to be collected the same as the
tax. The bill will probably become
a law.
Fred. Wolf of Seward county
committed suicide Monday of last
week. He had been arrested for de
bauching a 6tep-daughter aged thir
teen. The Beporter says the suicide
shot himself within sight of a school
house and although the teacher saw
him fall, no smoke or report from the
shot was seen or heaid be bad plac
ed the muzzle so far into his mouth.
Republican Senators held a caucus
at Washington last night to deter
mine the order of business. The
caucus split upon the rock of the
Land-Grant Forfeiture bills, and
Senators Wilson and Van Wyck
warned the members that the party
might split upon the 6ame rock unless
action was taken to defend the Gov
ernment against the land-robbers.
Chicago Tribune.
About ten miles west of Crcston,
Iowa, Sunday afternoon, as a west
bound passenger train approached
a bridge across a small stream, it
struck a broken rail and tilled along
on me lies uniu ii ran into me Drldge,
which went down carrying with it
two coaches and a sleeper containing
twenty to twenty-five passengers.
Robt. Brown, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, Mrs.
Powell, New Albany, Ind., and Mrs.
W. C Carroll, San Gachc, Cal., were
killed.
Near Juniata last week Irwin
Faribee attended a young lady named
Young to a meeting held in a school
house. This not being satisfactory to
the young lady's brother and his
cousin, they followed them part way
borne and annoyed them somewhat.
When returning home Faribee met
the boys who set upon him with
knives. He asked for fair play and
Young threw down his knife and
made an attack. Faribee struck him
on the jaw knocking him down. The
lad died.
Ox the morning of the 4th inst., at
the jail in Audubon, Iowa, John A.
Smythe, Joel J. Williams and Cicero
B. Jellerson, the murderers of Hiram
Jellerson, in April 1884, were secured
by about seventy-five men by over
powering the sheriff and officers, bat-
teriag down the jail walls, and taking
the. murderers, hanging Smythe and
Wilson to the stringers of a high
feace in the jail yard, and Cicero, the
son, who joined in the murder of his
father, they hanged to the band stand
about the center of the square.

There are several bills pending be
fore the legislature for the location of
an asylum for the insane, in addition
to the one already established at Lin
coln, and which is overcrowded, and
the strong probability is that the
present legislature will provide for
the additional building.
Of all the unfortunate classes that,
properly come under the protection
of the public, none Reserve more
kiadly care than those who have lost
their reason, for this is the supreme
misfortune of human life.
It is becoming that our legislators,
who have it in their power to say
where the location of the additional
asylum shall be, look at the subject in
all the various bearings, as to cen
trality of location, convenience of
access, healthfulness, Sec.
While not desiring to disparage any
location, the Journal desires to say
that, in its opinion, there are several
reasons why there is no better loca
tion in the state than is Columbus.
Please unfold a late map of the 6tate
and notice the geographical situation.
No town of present great importance
can lay claim to being the hub of
geographical Nebraska, but Colum
bus, exactly half way between Kansas
and Dakota, is nearer the center of
business and population than any
other point so far named. Situated
on the great thoroughfare of travel
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky Mountains, the Union Pacific
railway, it is easy of access from
every station on that line and its trib
utaries already constructed, and those
to be constructed. From this .point,
It is plain to be seen that access by
railroad can readily be made from
nearly every county seat in the state.
The. connties on both sides of the
Union Pacific from Douglas and
Sarpy clear across the state to Chey
enne and Sionx, nearly five hundred
miles, are within a few hours' rido of
Columbus; so also are the counties
along the system of railroad extend
ing from the southeast portion of the
state through Columbus to the north
west With these two lengthiest
lines of travel all others are connect
ed, and thus Columbus, situated at
the heart of the eastern half of the
state, where the great body of the
population is and will be for years to
come, wonld be the least expensive
for the greatest number of counties
bearing the burden of transportation
or for those who would wish to visit
their friends at the asylum.
The welfare of the prospective in
mates, however, is the most important
consideration, and will, of course,
have your best thought.
You are about to select a residence,
a pnblic home, for the most unfortu
nate class of your fellow-beings, and,
whatever will conduce to their gen
eral health, to their physical comfort,
to thejr mental enjoyment, in short,
any circumstance which will, in the
slightest degree,
"Jiini6ter to a mind diseased,"
and tend to bring harmony out of
discord is to bo sought for and pro
vided. It seems to be conceded by every
one that, wherever located, the asy
lum should be beyond city limits two
to four miles. In this locality that
wonld placo it to the northward of
the city on the table land, a most
healthful location. Unlike the site of
the .penitentiary near Lincoln the
bottom of a Bancer there could be
twenty excellent tracts selected where
drainage would be perfect in every
direction one of the chief requisites
in a sito Tor any building, more par
ticularly one of this character. Here,
at an elevation eighty feet above the
Platte bottom, the atmosphere is free
from all trace of malaria, and the
water is of the best.
From this elevation are visible the
Platte and Loup valleys for miles,
portions of Colfax, Butler, Polk and
Nanco connties, as well as a consider
able part of Platte, including the
fertile and populous valley of Shell
Creek, making the vie w? especially in
summer, as picturesque and attractive
as conld well be, which would be a
chief consideration for those who arc
to be confined within the walls of the
building or the immediate enclosure
for their remaining years, perhaps.
Nature takes a great part in all
cures, and when
"Sovereign reason,
Like sweet belU jangled out of tune, and
usrtsu,"
is to be benefited, it must be, in good
part, by the gentle, soothing influ
ences of surrounding nature, and
while we would not disparage any
place seeking recognition, we do be
lieve that Colnmbus cannot be ex
celled for healthfulness and attractive
surroundings, and cannot be equaled
for ease of access from every county
seat in the.state.
Gentlemen of the legislature, as the
two main considerations in the deter
mination of this matter are first : that
which directly concerns th.? welfare
of those whose home this building is
to be, and second: as equitable a dis
tribution as is possible by location, of
the burdens of transporting patients,
their attendants and friends to and
from the asylum, we respectfully ask
a full, candid and personal investiga
tion of the merits of Columbus.
To the victors belong the spoils.
Of the new River and Harbor bill ap
propriation, the larger part of the
money goes sontb. Under this bill
New York gets $291,000, New Jersey
1200,000, and Connecticut $129,000;
aad yet these states also voted for
Cleveland. Unluckily for them they
do sot belong to the governing end of
the republic. Pennsylvania is cut off
with $70,000, and the Ohio river with
$175,000, and the Mississippi north of
the Ohio gets only $860,000, while the
Mississippi sooth of the Ohio gets
$2,900,000, and Galveston Harbor
$750,000, and fifteen southern states
$3,032,000. The southern states will
more than get pay for the slaves set
free by the war. Hastings Journal.
sLocatlem r the Aayls
The Chicago Tribune is perhaps as
well versed on the need of railroad
legislation as any, and is a consistent
advocate of measures favoring public
interests. In a recent editorial the
Tribune says that the main defect of
the Reagan bill, is that it will still
leave individual shippers to fight
their battles unaided against the
powerful corporations. That the real
thing to be done is to enforce the
laws we have and have bad from time
immemorial; common carriers have
no right to charge exorbitant rates,
no right to discriminate for or against
individuals or places, no right to go
into a conspiracy to run up rates, no
right to take money earned for stock
holders and hand it 'over to another
carrier to "even up" percentages on a
pool. But' all these things the rail
roads do. A commission merely to
write essays on the railroad problem,
6ays the Tribune, the country has no
use for, but a commission with
power to compel the railroads to re
gard, the indispntable rights of the
people is demanded by a national
sentiment. Shippers now are at the
mercy of the railroads, and men have
told us they dare not even speak their
mind for fear of being broken up in
business. Of course, with such a
state of affairs, it is useless to imagine
that a law can be so framed as to be
effective by leaving the aggrieved in
dividual or town to fight their battle
unaided. As the Tribune well says,
"every other nation but ours has
found that it was impossible for the
individual to cope with the highway
corporation, and haB used the people's
organized power the state to bring
the railroads' pools to order."
It is generally understood that
Secretary Teller, recently elected to
the U. S. Senate from Colorado, cm
ployed unbecoming means to that
end. Senator Hill, who was de
feated by him, says it was accom
plished by the grossest corruption.
The election of U. S. Senators has
become, in a great measure, a ques
tion of money and manipulation,
except where native strength of
character and force of brains get the
advantage over money and corrnpt
influences. We should like to see the
day come when the members of this
body shall be elected directly by the
people of the states, instead of by the
legislatures, and see no good reason
why this has not been done all along.
By the way, the present legislature
might make some inquiries as to
whether our governors have included
the expression of a preference for U.
S. Senator, in their proclamations for
election, and, if not, why not.
Considerable excitement prevailed
the other day at Pittsburg, Pa., by
the publication of an article in the
Chronicle-Telegraph stating that for
two months paBt a Russian and two
English spies have been at work in
that city and vicinity to learn who
are in sympathy with the dynamiters.
It is claimed that large sums of
money have been raised, and that
socialists have stored from one
thousand to fifteen hnndred guns and
revolvers as well as a large amonnt
of dynamite ready for an outbreak
and attack on capitalists. It is also
stated that some of these munitions
came accompanied by money from
Canada and others from western
points and some from eastern cities.
A large quantity of dynamite had
been obtained, part being manufac
tured in Pittsburg by experienced
dynamiters.
Even under the very looEe-jointed
law which we have upon the subject,
the "snide" doctor is apt to get him
self into trouble, as we notice by a
paragraph in the Blair Pilot. A fel
low by the name of Capell camo over
from Iowa and set up in Blair as a
physician. As the PtVof. remarks,
there is iu all communities a class of
people who are never so happy as
when they have an opportunity to be
humbugged, and Blair is no exception.
He finally brought up in court, was
fined $25, gavo security and appealed
his case. A recent decision of the
Supreme court in a case from Lancas
ter county says that persons practic
ing medicine or surgery must have
the qualifications set forth in the stat
ute of March 3, '81, as amended in '83,
and must file the sworn statement re
quired. This decision, the Pilot con
cludes, will settle Capell's case.
Senate File 171 is the bill intro
duced by the railroad committee, and
will hereafter be known as the rail
road committee bill. It is very
lengthy and is designed to take the
place of all others on the subject, and
to cover all the ground taken by
others. On its reduction and first
reading, we notico that Senator Mc
Allister, (who knows the ways that
are taken to smother legislation, and
who is very watchful against trick
sters), introdnced a resolution which
was adopted under a suspension of
the rules, that the chairman of the
committee on printing be instructed
to have the bill printed immediately
in preference to all others.
Senator Vance the other day in
the discussion of the inter-state com
merce bills likened the railroad com
panies to chicken thieves, saying
that the Bame arguments they use
would apply to the business of rob
bing henroosts. The clamors of rail
road men were like the protests of
chicken -stealers, who would inform
legislators that they didn't under
stand the business of chicken-Bteal-ing;'that
it was a very complicated
business and totally different from
the vulgar business of stealing other
things than chickens. The one great
mystery is, "said he, the meek endur
ance and long-suffering patience of
the American people.
Senator Van Wtck has been very
severely criticized by several state
niners for bis recent assertion in a I
:. , .. irt.j q,.. o .. I
Bpeccu iu tun uuucu owusa ocu.io i
that, owing to exorbitant railroad '
rates, it took fifty bushels of corn to
purchase a ton of soft coal and one
hundred and fifty to purchase a ton
of hard coal in Nebraska. The Gen
eral doubtless meant this as an ex
treme case,' a sample fact of the actual
working of our railroad machinery,
and several of our exchanges declare
that the statement can be verified as
an actual fact.

Treasurer Newman's report, forms
a considerable portion of today's
Journal, and is to be commended as
a plain, easily-comprehended exhibit
of the county's financial affairs. It
deserves careful study from every
tax-payer, so that he may inform him
self in regard to receipts and dis
bursements of the public funds. It
will be noticed that while the county
has passed over to the state $31,768,
she has received from the same $13,
272. The county sinking fnnd is
credited with a balance on hand of
$18,851.83, the funding bond fund
with $18,055.59; the county funding
bonds dated 1 July 75, are redeema
ble 1 July next, and it is expected
that by using the balances in the
above funds together with what may
be collected by that time, these $45,
000 of bonds can be redeemed, making
a saving thereafter of $4,500 yearly
interest.
