The State Board of Agriculture
held its annual meeting at Lincoln
one day last week and was greeted
by a large attendance of members and
citizene. Dr. Gertb, state veterina
rian, by request, read a very interest
ing paper before the Board on the
diseases of swine. The president and
secretary delivered their annual ad
dresses and tho treasurer his annual
report, from which, and tho action of
the committees to which they were
referred, we gather some items of in
terest. The Board received last year
by the- treawrerreport the sum of
$32,402.68,- aad .paid out $22,064.30,
leaving a balance on hand of $9,938-38.
The salary of the secretary was raised
to $2,000 a year. During the year
1886, $1,000 was appropriated to pay
for the services of the board of man
agers. The board elected the follow
ing officers : President, S. M. Barker,
of Silver Creek ; first vice president,
R. H. Henry, of Columbus; second
vice president, T. H. Holt, of Gage
county; treasurer, L. A. Kent, of
Miudon ; secretary, R. W. Furnas, of
Brownville. Subsequently tho board
held a meeting, President S. M. Bar
ker presiding. Professor C. E. Bes
sey was appointed state botanist. W.
H. Barstow, of Crete, was chosen a
delegate to the National Trotting
Association at Chicago. J. B. Dins
more was appointed a delegate to the
National Fair Association which
meets at Indianapolis. J. Jensen, of
Geneva was chosen a delegate to the
Agricultural Congress to be held in
New York. Five hundred and fifty
dollars was appropriated to erect a
suitable building for the display of
dairy and creamery implements and
products. One thousand five hundred
dollars waB appropriated to build au
addition to the grand stand at the fair

It looks now very plausible and
doubtless fair when we take into
account that Dakota, Montana and
Washington each have the requisite
population and the necessary area of
territory to constitute a state, that all
three of them may be admitted as
states into the Union the present ses
sion of congress. Bills have already
been introduced into congress for
their admission. When they have the
amount of territory and population
and ask to be admitted into the Union,
then it becomes a difficult question
for a political partisan to refuse. Ho
then wants to know what will be its
political character, and when ascer
tained that fact will govern his vote.
How much easier and nicer to vote
like a statesman and let politics take
care of themselves. If tho application
of a state fills the requirements of the
constitution, no statesman can vote
against her admission, but a politician
can. In the present instance it is
probable that'Dakota will be repub
lican, Montana democratic and Wash
ington may be won by either party.
Hon. J. B. Livingston, presiding
judge of tho courts of Lancaster
county, Pa., camo very near losing
his life at tho hands of Joseph Doesch
the other morning, who attacked the
judge in his own room by placing a
pistol at his head and attempting to
discharge it. Tho Judge .seized
Doesch and a desperate struggle fol
lowed, in which the Judge threw and
disarmed him. Last spring the
Judge refused him a saloon license on
account of his keeping a disorderly
house, and this act led Doesch to
attempt the Judge's life. The dealer
who sold the pistol to Doesch, sus
pecting some unlawful purpose,
placed in the weapon cartridges not
suited to it, and it was this fact alone
that saved the Judge's life.
When the Apaches attacked the
Black Rock ranch of William John

doing the shooting and the wife load

through the body and thigh, and had
one arm broken, when the Indians
gave up the fight and left. Mrs.
Johnson bitched np a team. Dlaccd

Waaalactaa letter.
(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 18, 1885.
Although the present session of
Congress began quietly, proceedings
at the Capitol became more animated
with each week. In the Senate there
has been an immense amount of
oratory on the silver question from
Democrats who felt constrained to
differ from the President and advo
cate continued coinage.
The majority in the House of Rep
resentatives, coerced by the contin
'gehcy'of possible Republican restora
tion before 1888, adopted the measure
they once rejected, and now the Hoar
Presidential Succession bill is ready
for the President's signature. The
first division of the session on party
lines, took place over this bill, leading
to a little filibustering and several
roll calls.
The opinion prevails among public
men of all political shades that the
present session will be the liveliest
for many years, although it may not
be marked by much legislation be
yond its appropriation bills. It is
thought there Is no chance of the
House and Senate agreeing to any
general tariff bill, and on all ques
tions of currency and coinage there
is great diversity of opinion in both
parties.
Some of the ablest leaders of the
Republican party are in the Senate
and as the Republican's retain control
of that body, they will protect and
promote the interests of the party.
Still it will be almost impossible for
any measure, of a distinctively party
character, to become a law during the
life of the Forty-ninth Congress. The
Democratic majority in the House,
and the Republican majority in the
Senate each stands as an effective bar
to party legislation.
There can be no baajain, no com
promise, no agreement or arrange
ment by which any bill intended
merely to carry out the pledges of a
campaign platform, and manufacture
political capital can escape defeat.
The most inexperienced new member
knows this as well as the veteran
member, and the country knows it so
thoroughly that it will not be dis
posed to tolerate a waste of time In
attempts at the impossible. For this
reason the Democrats, who are get
ting ready to agitate certain ques
tions that promise no practical re
sults, have been admonished to let
them alone, and take up subjects on
which both parties can agree.
In a Senatorial Republican caucus,
the relations between the President
and the Senate were discussed ; and
the action to be taken upon his nom
inations in cases of suspension, and
particularly, the course to bo pursued
in regard to obtaining explanations
for removals and appointments. It
was practically decided'Jbat if the
President and heads of departments
do not produoo the required informa
tion, the nominations are to be
shelved for the present. "Wo can
stand it as long as tho President
can," said one of tho Senators, "and
if there is a dead-lock, we are pre
pared for it."
Notwithstanding all that has been
said and written on the subject of
civil servico appointments, tho pros
sure for office is as great now as it
has ever been. Office seekers pay.no
attention to what is said to them by
their Congressional friends, and re
fuse to believe that the hands of Con
gress are in any way tied by the civil
service law. Some of them refuse to
take "no" for an answer, and continue
to harass their indoraers day and
night.
Senators have been discussing
nepotism in connection with the
judicial salary bill. One section of
the bill provides that no person re
lated within the degree of first cousin
to a Judge of the United States shall
be appointed by such Judge to any
position in his court and it also leg
islates out of office the relations now
1U
Senator Edmunds thought it
would work great hardship and in
justice to legislate out of office men
who by experience and training, had
perhaps come to be the most capable
and efficient persons who could be
found to fill the offices. If so much
was said of Judges who had ap
pointed kinsmen to office, he tbongbt
Senators should remember that they
had provided for their owu son6 and
other relatives in the same way.
"Even this reform administration,"
continued the Senator from Vermont
"this reforir. administration, the
picturo of purity and grace, and
everything that is lovely, has sent to
the Senate for confirmation the nom
inations of a father and son to the
same place, to exercise the functions
of two offices, the one under the
other."

Washington, D. C, Jan. 25, 1886.
Some echoes very like a "Rebel
Yell," issued from some of the Brig
adiers on Friday evening when dis
cussing Bontell's resolution to inves
tigate the removal of Union soldiers
and the defacement of inscriptions
commemorating Union victories.
"We are in the bouse of our fathers
and have come to stay," exclaimed
Geo. D. Wise of Virginia, when
twitted by the author of the resolu
tion for aliuding to Union veterans
as "our soldiers," and hurried on, re
fusing to be interrupted but denying
no important implication of the res
olution and admitting that the chief
of them were true. The resolution,
after spirited debate, was adopted as
amended by committee, so as to in
clude the acts of ex-Secretary Chan
dler in its scope. A very noticeable
nervousness pervades the democratic
side of the House whenever any
point relating to "the lost cause"
excites debate, which is speedily cut
off, as was the case on Friday.
The silver men are in the saddle,
booted and spurred, and it is some
times difficult to say in which party
1 the white metal has the moat deter
mined friends, and any chance of
making it a party ibsuc is out of the
question. Tho most sweeping pro
posal yet broached, comes from Rep
resentative Payson, of Illinois, who
has pronounced in favor of impeach
ing the Secretary of the Treasury for
violation of the silver coinage act.
"This war upon silver is au outrage.
the treasury officials are responsi
ble for whatever depreciation in value
silver baa sustained they resist the

I think I shall bring the matter

Yan Wyqk has introduced a,bill
making Illegal to stipulate in any
contract that a debt thereby incurred
shall be payable exclusively in gold.
Senator Merrill ventured an anti
silver speech the other day, and
claimed that it was against excessive
coinage the anti-silver men protest,
and that bonds were promised pay
ment in gold. And thus the war of
words goes on, and it is not probable
that any compromise even if a wise
one can be adopted, so bitter has
the feeling against "the goldites"
become, but it is expected some
proposition will soon be brought to
vote which will compel a division
and settle the issue for this session.
The banking and currency com
mittee have voted, 8 to 4, to report
the old McPherson bill of last sessfeV
(which was then defeated, or failed
to nass.) to authorize the issue of
circulation to National Banks to the
full value of the bonds deposited to
secure circulation, and this will re
open the anti-bank war and lead to
many new "treatises" on finance, to
be published in the "Record" ex
clusively. A minority report against
the measure will be made by Brumm,
Miller of Texas, Woodman, of Neva
da, and Snyder, of W. Ya., the anti-
bank members of the committee.
