least 5,000 cattle.
AmtAM U. Cannon, at Salt Lake,
the other day settled it for himself.
When asked if the two women were
his wives and if he had lived with

God! I have lived with them as

the House at Washington, from the
Sixth Iowa district will be success
fully contested by Campbell.
Weaver's certificate whs issued on a
returned majority of C7. The fraud
ulent votes discovered give Campbell
a majority of S5.
The grand encampment of the G.

Grand Island General John M.
Thayer was elected to the ofiico of
department commander. His election
was bailed by three rousing cheers,
followed by an eloquent address from
the General.
Ex-Senator Thurman, of Ohio,
was in Washington the other day on
tome law business, and having a little
time he paid a visit to the Senate
chamber. That body was in session,
but when the presence of Thurman
was noted, he was tendered a hearty
ovation by the senators, irrespective
of party. What a grand thing it is to
be an honest politician.
Morrison's new tariff bill if it be
comes a law will reduce the revenues
about $20,000,000 a year. This is a
right smart sum, and as our govern
ment has heretofore been run by sim
ilar revenues a tariff bill which would
bring about a few more $20,000,000
annually would compel the govern
ment to resort to direct taxation to
carry on its operations.
The name of John L. Means is
mentioned in connection with the
Gubernatorial office. John L. Means is
abetter and purer man than Cleve
land, who was Governor of Now
York. He is making a better mayor
of Grand Island than Cleveland did
of Buffalo, and we see no reason why
lie would not make a first-class state
-executive. His timidity and bashful
eu is against him. Grand Island
Timet.
"Time!"
There are more candidates for gov
ernor talked of this time in Nebraska
than ever before. A nomination by
the republicans having always been
conceded equivalent to an election,
the yonng men representing the
"rustlers" have generally been able,
heretofore, to secure the prize by
clever manipulation of the county
conventions.
It is right easy to see how this is
done. If a man can manage to secure
the delegation of his own county to
nse for his own purposes in the state
convention, this forms a nucleus. By
getting three or four delegations
favorable to his nominatiou for gov
ernor,by shrewd management.consid
erable ennning and no little deception
practiced upon the unwary, ho can
enter a state convention with thirty
to forty delegates to go in a solid
block wherever their going will count
most for the manipulator. A "slate"
made up by thirty solid votes for A
for governor, another thirty solid for
B for secretary of state, another
thirty for C for treasurer, another for
D for auditor, &c, &c, down the long
list of all the offices to be filled, makes
a combination hard to beat when each
works for all and all for each candi
date on the "slate." It was in this
way that Nance secured his nomina
tion, and it is the rustler's way of
"getting there." The time haB come
in Nebraska for the leaders of the
party, men capable of advocating its
great principles, and men willing and
courageous enough to 6ee to it that
the people's interests are not neglect
ed, to step to the front aud assert
themselves. Principle must more be
preferred to place, or the party will
lose in numbers. Something besides
what do the railroads want must be
the question of the political conven
tions of all parties in the state of
Nebraska.
Secretary Manning in his budget
of estimates for collecting revenue
during 1887 makes some singular dis
closures. It appears that tbero are
fifty-five districts where the govern
ment is out of pocket in maintaining
custom offices. At twenty-three of
these last year there were no collec
tions on imports or tonage. The col
lectors practically have a sinecure.
Their reports simply consist of a blank
sheet on which they write at the bot
tom : "No transactions, yours truly."
Their work consists simply of issuing
clearance papers to vessels. New
York is the most expensive custom
house in tho country. It costs the
government to collect duties there
about $2,192,195. Omaha and the two
Iowa ports of Dubuque and Burling
ton cost Uncle Sam the least of any
custom offices in the country. The
total expenses for the port of Omaha
are $1,200, which is the collectors sal
ary. The collectors at Dubuquo and
Burlington each get $300.
Mrs. Ellen Jordon of Fremont
brought suit against Mrs. Bridget
Hanlon, a Baloon keeper, and recov
ered a verdict for $1,875. "Two years
ago the husband of tho plaintiff," so
Bays the Tribune, "while in a furious
and maniacal conditiou, was shot and
killed by the city marshal, while at
tempting to secure him, to save the
life of a deputy who was attacked by
the mad man with an ax. Mrs. Han
lon at that time was a saloon keeper
and the evidence convinced tho jury
that the defendant was guilty of soil
ing Jordon liquor which contributed
to his lamentable condition and re
sulted in his death." The Slocumb
law is a pretty thorough-going affair
when handled by an attorney who
means business, for a client who is in
earnest. A largo number of cases
havo been prosecuted successfully by
widows of those killed, one way and
another, through tho effect of liquor
unlawfully sold, and will continue
to be.

The Kentucky Senate has passed a
bill prohibiting the sale of pistols and
bowie-knives. Infants, idiots and in
capable?, generally, should be protect
ed against the wickedness of their
own passions and evil propensities,
but if mankind would take a little
different chute, and endeavor to raise
men somewhat capable of self-control,
there would be a better prospect
ahead. It will cost more after a while
to guard the weak, protect the incapa
ble?, feuce in the vicious, and punish
the incorrigible than the whole busi
ness will be worth. Vigorous man
hood is what is needed to further tho
ends of the race on the earth.
The Uuion Pacific probably wishes
by this time that it had built from
Fremont to Lincoln when the plau
was projected some years ago, instead
of going down to Valley to found a
city and establish a plug. But it is
fortunate for Fremont, after all, that
the U. P. didn't keep faith with her.

"Mountain Campaigns in Georgia,"
or "War Scenes on the W. & A.w is
the title of a pamphlet received from
the Western & Atlantic Railroad
folks at Atlanta, Georgia. It is the
very neatest publication of the kind
that we have seen, and a valuable
contribution to the literature of the
war. Gen. Sherman says that tho
Atlanta Campaign of 1864 would have
been impossible without this road,
that all our battles were fonght for its
possession, and that the Western &
Atlantic railroad of Georgia should
be the pride of every trne American,
because by reason of its existence the
Union was saved. The General con
tinues that for over a hundred miles
of the road was fought a continuous
battle of one hundred and twenty
days, during which, day and night,
were beard the continuous boom of
cannon and the sharp crack of the
rifle ; that every foot of it should be
sacred ground, because it was once
moistened by patriotic blood. Gen.
Jos. E. Johnston calls it an excellent
historical sketch. It is to be hoped
by all true patriots that there will be
more commercial and social inter
course between the two great sections
of the country than ever before, and
that we may indeed become one
people.
The eighteenth National Woman's
Bights Convention commenced its

Philip Hastings, a young man liv
ing not far from Silver City, Iowa,
was found the other morning sitting
upright in a chair, at his father's
house, with a bullet hole through his
head. A revolver lay at his side on
the floor. He was a prominent young
man, son of a wealthy farmer, and
bore a good character. His parents
aud other members of the family had
been absent for several days. The
case looks like suicide, but others
think there must have been foul play.
President Cleveland has been
unfortunate with two of his appoint
ments in this state, that of postmaster
Morgan, at Kearney, and postmaster
Sharp, at McCook, both of whom
have been found short in their ac

decided to have another man put in
his place. Sharp's seenritics have
requested his suspension aud another
man has been placed in charge of the
office pending the appointment of a
successor.
The funeral services over tho re

distress among the people is heart
rending, aud President Bartillas and
his cabinet have started a subscription
for their relief.
News from Mobile, Alabama, re
ported one day Ia6t week earthquake
shocks on both banks of the Tombig
bee river in Choctaw, Maringo and
Sumpfer counties. The shocks were
followed by sharp tremblings of the
earth, ground heaved up a foot, trees
6wayed violently, and cattle were
thrown from their feet. No one kill
ed, but the citizens badly frightened.
The Cherokee, Choctawe, Chicka-
Baws, Creeks and Seminole Indians,

Fayetteville, Arkansas, where cases
from the Indian Territory may be

States Government promised and
pledged itself to provide a court in
the Territory in 1867.
Great excitement prevailed the
other day at St. George, W. Va., on
account of the shooting of Deputy
Sheriff F. S. Pifer by W. M. Clayton,
editor of the Tucker Democrat, and
the subsequent attempt of a mob to
lynch the editor. The affair grew out
of a bitter contest for the office of
circuit clerk, between J. J. Adams
and M. Mevers.
Some fishermen the other day at St.
Louis discovered and brought to
shore the dead body of a man encased
in ice. Letters fonnd on his person

committed suicide by drowning.

The House Committee on Public
Lands, on Friday, reported in favor
of Judge Gifford's bill creating new
land districts in the Big Sioux Re

that part of the reservation lying

The question of the forfeiture of

It is believed that the President

One of the most important events
that has occurred during this session
of Congress was the offering of the
resolutions reported by the Senato
Judiciary Committee, in reference to
the refusal of heads of departments
to furnish papers on file, that in
fluenced the removal of officeholders.
The report and resolutions were of
fered by Senator Edmunds, of Ver
mont, on Thursday, the 18th inst.
The resolutions wero read and they
aud the report ordered printed in tho
Record. Mr. Pugb, of the minority
on the committee, claimed the priv
ilege of making a report, and asked
till to-day week to prepare it. By
consent, then, the report will not be
read or discussed until this is ready.
Then look to see the "fur fly." The
President will find that he has made
a great mistake and he will wish,
stubborn as be is, that at the outset of
his administration he had removed
men simply because they were Re
publicans, or rather that he bad de
clared this would be the reason. The
country is no longor deceived, and
the action of this committee will tear
off the civil servico mask ho has been
wearing all this time. It is a great
pity the present action had not been
taken sooner.
Mr. Murphy, of Iowa, by direction

and the Illinois aud Michigan Canal
for the construction of the work con

The cost is estimated at $9,000,000.

(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Feb. 17, 1886.
Although you may not believe me,
the dismal fact remains the same that
Congress is to have the Fitz John
Porter relief business all over again.
Tho debate has actually begun, and
the greater part of the week has been
set apart for this snbjcct. A week
too, in the midst of the busy part of
the session. What could be more
dreary? Of course nothing new
could be brought forth in the dis
cussion. The same old battles of the
war will be fought over again. The
same old evidence, so often 6ifted, is
all there is in the case now. No wit
nesses could be summoned who will
not be recognized as old acquaint
ances. Representative Steele, of Indiana,
who was among tho first to speak in
opposition to the bill, premised with
the remark ; "What in thunder are
we here for ? Why are we discussing
Fitz John Porter? The Democrats
will vote for it anyhow." Still the
gentleman from Indiana said he
would not be deterred from giving
the reasons why he would vote
against it. He severely condemned
General Porter's disregard of the
order to march, declaring that the
order was peremptory, and that it
could aud should have been obeyed.
Socially the week at the capital has
becu uuusually brilliant, notwith
standing a temporary interruption of
the festive programme by General
Hancock's death. The President
held bis first card reception of the
winter in honor of the Diplomatic
Corps, and also gavo a state dinner
to the Justices of tho Supreme Court
There was a grand banquet at the
Chinese Embassy, a brilliant recep
tion at Secretary Whitney's with an
abundance of point lace and diamonds,
flowers and music, besides innumer
able gaities of less prominence.
Both events at the White Houso
wero gorgeously appoiuted. The
dinner to the Justice was sumptuous
with seven wines, and twelve courses,
satin favors, and boutonuiers, while
the floral arrangements ou the table
were in compliment to the guests, a
pair of scales of justice made of
flowers being the central piece.
Over it, restt -d a dovo with an olive
branch.
The card ;i ( i .n drow a distin
guished gathering, both Houses of
Congress, the Judiciary, officers of
the Army and Nnvy, aud officials in
Washington who hold commissions
from the President having been in
vited to meet the foreigners. An
hour before the reception began the
gas suddenly went out and the Man
Bion was in darkness. An effort was
made to light it with candles, and
whon tho caudlosticks were exhaus
ted candles were placed all around
the parlors in bottles and saucors,
their feeble flames making very in
adequate illumination. The gas
mains, which had been flooded for
some days, bad been left in that con
dition. Fortunately thoro was time
to pump the water out before the
guests arrived, and the bouse and
grounds wero soon brilliantly lighted
again.
An old resident of Washington re
marked recently that tho National.
Capital had changed wonderfully in
the past few years. "Although wo
have a Democratic Administration,"
said ho, "I uotice that the tendency
of society is moro aristocratic than
ever." Another replied "of course it
is. The genuine democracy of tho
country went out of power last
March. Nine-tenths of the Repub
lican voters aro too democratic to
belong to the Democratic party. AH
that was anti-republican in official
society here during the last twenty
four years of Republican rulo, has
becu copied this year with exag
gerated emphasis."
Attorney Genoral Garland, of Pan
Electric fame, is credited with fur
nishing tho Jeffersonian simplicity
for the administration, while Secre
tary Whitnoy furnishes the mag
nificence. Mr. Garland abjures state
dinners, and has said that he will
never! no never, wear a swallow tail
coat. Mr. Whitney is the dude of
tho cabinet, and is wealthy. He de
lights in display and is never tired of
adding to the rich collection of ar
tistic belongings with which his res
idence here is furnished. He bought
$3,000 worth of bric-a-brac from one
New York dealer alone.
The Secretaries of State and War,
Bayard and Endicott, furnish the
blue blood of the cabinet, each coming
from ancestral lines of pilgrim and
cavalier. They are both dignified in
person, of comfortable fortunes, and
born aristocrats. No one would ever
think of approaching these gentle
men with Pan-Eloctric to obtain the
influence of their exalted positions to
give it intrinsic value, and neither of
these gentlemen would appear on an
evening social occasion withont
swallow tails.
