Pike's Peak has been climbed by 1,250 persons this serson. The entire assessment of Dakota Territory is $130,000,000. - The latest report is that Prince Alexander haB determined to abdi cate. This year's wheat crop in Great Britain is estimated at 60,000,000 bushels. The damage to Charleston by the earthpnrke is roughly estimated at 15,000,000. White woodshucks have been Been thiB summer in Redding town ship, Ind. Thebe was a girl at Lake George last week who rowed six hours a day for exercise. Thirty-two horses belonging to the Scranton Street Car Company are laid up with pink-eye. A Van Wyck ticket throughout has been nominated by the Repub licans of Saunders county. The bank statement in New York the other day showed $6,907,000 in excess or legal requirements. A Marechal Niel rose buBh that grows white flowers on one side and crimson on the other, is a sight in London, Ont. "Rebecca's Triumph," a play without a hero, was presented by thirteen young ladies lately at one of Maine's summer resorts. At Bibb, Ala., a young gentleman took a crowd of his friends to his watermelon patch and the entire crowd got shot at by his brother. The "sunflower cushion," a de scription of which would be rather lengthy, is a stylish ornament for a bureau or hung to the side of a dress ing case. A fatal disease is attacking cattle in Saline county. It is somewhat similar in its effects to hydrophobia. The cattle become wild, and attack man or beast. The genuine attar of roses, which is made in India and Austria, costs $100 an ounce at the place of distilla tion. It takes 50,000 roses to make an ounce of attar. Ax eaglo near C'hambersburg, Pa. not long ago tried to carry off a boy, but the youngster waB loo heavy. The lad's face and clothing suffered severely in the battle. One thousand acres of echool land was sold the other day in Wheeler county, Neb., at $7 an acre, and a considerable number of lots from $1 to $5 per acre were leased. The Staplehurst News answers the question, What is the coming election for?, by saying that it is to elect members of tho legislature to go to Lincoln and vote for Van Wyck for U. S. Senator. Articles of incorporation of the G. A. R. Building Association were filed the other day in the secretary of state's office at Lincoln, Neb. The principal place .of transacting busi ness is to be at Grand Island. Mrs. Light, of Terro Haute, to conceal her money from burglars, hid it in a straw tick. A short time ago she emptied the straw into the street, and sot fire to it, but forgot all about the money, until after it was consumed by the fire. A short time ago thirty thousand dollars in cash disappeared from the safe of the Adams Express company at Philadelphia, and Rath Platte was arrested the other day suspected of the robbery. He was formerly clerk in the office at Philadelphia. James Armstrong, of Loure, Can., a well-to-do farmer, aged eighty three years, fell in love with a maiden of seventy-6ix summers, who re jected his suit. Thereupon he made his will, bequeathing her all his property, and then hanged himself. The Grand Island juvenile military company, with sixty members was in camp at Grand Island. A baud formed of fourteen boys from the State Reform School was also present, which has cieated quite an interest in the musical department. Judge Weaver, it is now under stood, is a candidate for re-nomination to congress from the first dis trict. The Journal believes he ought to be nominated, notwith standing the fact that our old friend Orlando Tefft is likewise a candi date. TnE news from Rome still show that cholera is still producing fatal results among the citizens of Barlet ts, San Girouni, Ravenna, Rotonda, and Malfetta. In these towns a large number of deaths have taken place and a large number of new cases re ported. In the reunion of tho G. A. R. at Grand Island, fifteen states were represented in camp : Illinois by 240; Ohio, 125; Indiana, 115; PemiBylva mia,88;New York, 107; New Eng land states, 32 ; Wisconsin, 75; Min nesota, 25 ; West Virginia, 78 ; Michi gan, 54 ; Iowa, 102. A citizen of Waco, Texas, had a remarkable experience recently. He went to visit his mother, who is nearly sixty years old, in a neighbor ing town, but found she had eloped with a man half her age. On his re Urn home he was met with the startling news that bis own wife had Atoned "with a handsomer man." Ho hM bow sold ont and gOM to Utah, J Fra FlItlciaK f People Senator Van Wyck's call for an ex pression of the popular preference on the senatorial question naturally dis gusts the professional politicians. They are indignant that auy one should presume to question (heir power and right to select the rep resentative of "Nebraska in the upper house of congress. Accordingly, the request of General Van Wyck that the voters of the state, acting under the constitutional proviso, should voice their preference for senator strikes the honorable bilkB and leg islative lobbyists as a piece of audaciouB impertinence. Such a pre cedent, if established would destroy their occupation. This is precisely what the people of the 6tate intended when they en grafted the much diecussed proviso on the constitution and made pro vision by statutory enactment for carrying it into effect. It was drafted to bring the senatorial election closer to the votes of the people. Under its terms, no legislator who votes in joint session can plead ignorance of the will of his constituents or violate his pledges through a mistaken judgment of the force of public sen timent The law passed by the leg islature to give effect to the con stitutional proviso, was drawn up on the assumption that representatives of the people are honest spokesmen for their constituents. It assumes that the popular will once known, will be promptly carried into opera tion by the men elected for that purpose. While the constitution of the United States determines the method by which senators shall be chosen by the legislatures, it leaves to tho states the determination as to how legisla tors shall bo made to voice the popular wish on senatorial issues. The gravest cause of complaint with the national senate to-day is its lack of sympathy with tho people of the country. It is obstructive and arrogant. Depending upon the pol iticians for their six years' tenure of office, the senators, with few excep tions, are more interested In pan dering to the wishes of the lobby than in complying with the will of the great majority, which they are sunnosed to represent. Tho rail roads control the legislatures of many states. It is not surprising that they control the senators which the rail roads select. Great moneyed in terests dictate the choice of the joint sessions in other states and the sen ators chosen are the abject tools of the money power. Between the people, who work and toil and pay taxes and are most vitally interested in good government, and tho United States senate; two barriers are erected, the lobby and the legislature. It is to do away with the first of these that Nebraska's law, to which Sen ator Van Wyck appeals, has been created. It is well that the statute should have a fair trial in Nebraska, and that tho appeal from tho politicians to the people should be made by a sen ator whoso record of five years of unbroken service for tho people will outlast all the malicious assaults of the politicians who are banded to defeat him. Grand Island Inde pendent. Extensive earthquake shocks were felt one night last week, which gave things a lively shaking up at Cleve land, O., Detroit, Cincinnati, Indiana polis, St. Louis, Charleston, W. Va., New York, Mcadville, Pa., Wash ington, Chicago, Memphis, Nashville, Lexington, Louisville, Dubuque, Mil waukee, Burlington, Richmond, Va., Raleigh, Charlotte, N. C, Augusta and Savannah. To give some idea of how it worked in its extensive move ments, it will only be necessary to describe a small number of them. At Cleveland, buildings swayed perceptibly. People left the theaters and rushed into the streets and great excitement prevailed? At Indian apolis, portions of the cornice of the Denison hotel were displaced, falling to the pavement, and the tower of the court house rocked to such an extent that the fire watchman on duty fled down stairs. At Dubuque it Bbook tall buildings severely and part of the andience in the opera house ran out and for a moment there was a scene of confusion. The printers in the top story of the Herald office, ran from the building and guests ran from the upper rooms in the hotels. In Milwaukee, large buildings were shaken to their foundations. People fled in affright to the street. Win dows were broken in numerous buildings and pictures fell from the wall6. It was quite severe at Rich mond, Va., dashing glasses and other articles from shelves and mantles to the floor. Some persons thought they were drunk, as their feet be came unsteady. The shock was still more severo at Raleigh, N. C, and continued nearly six minutes, rock ing buildings and cracking the walls; floors broke loose from their sup ports, chimneys fell and lamps were overturned. Tho motion of the earth was very decided. There were two shocks of earthquake reported from Washington by Prof. New comb. The first at 9:53 20; the second at 9:54.30. Additional par ticulars havo been received from the earthquake at Charleston, South Car olina, stating that ten distinct shocks had been felt at that place, and that the principal business portion of the city had been destroyed on the night of the 31st ult, leaving hundreds of persons without a home. Men were frantic, women beseeching mercy from the Almighty, and children in tears. The city is a complete wreck. Two of tho most historic churches in the city, St Michael's and St. Phil lip's are in ruins, as is also the Hibernian hall, the police station and many other public buildings. The steeple of the Unitarian church has fallea. Folly two-thirds of tho res idences of the city are uninhabitable, being wrecked either totally or partially. It is believed that between fifty and one hundred persons have been killed and several hundred wounded. Soon after the crash from the falling buildings a fire started, and before it could be subdued I twenty or more houses were ae- stroyed by it. The people are en camped in the open places'. There is probably no other city in the west cursed with such a set of real estate thieves as Lincoln. They lay around the County Clerks and Treasurers office day after day watch ing for some technical error in trans fers, whereby they may 6tep in and for a few dollars buy a quit claim from some one equally unscrupulous, and begin proceedings, thereby en tailing an expense of several hun dred dollars to the man, or as fre quently the case, poor widow, and perhaps in the end deprive them of their home. Such transactions are by no means uncommon in Lincoln, and it is doing the city much harm. A large part of this business is be ing done by two law firms who by their rascality have driven their le gitimate practice away, and are now resorting to robbery most villainous. It is time that a halt should be cal led. 'If there is no law to protect in nocent purchasers from such leeches it is time ono was passed. Thero are countries where such men would not be allowed todobni nees, law or no law. What would become of the men who attompted to steal the claim of his neighbor in an unorganized country where nothing but possession is required as a title. They would consider themselves fa vored if time was allowed them to get out of the country with a whole neck. Either our law makers or the courts are seriously at fault in thin matter. There are hundreds of thou sands of dollars worth of property in Lincoln to day lying in a dilapidated condition simply because some land thief has got Mb clutches on it, and the real owner dare not make im provements until it pasies through the tedious trial of tho courts. Ne braska Farmer. How to Tote Tor U. 8. Senator. On page 333 Annotated statutes of Nebraska, 1885, there is a section which says the proper authorities shall, at any election previous to the election of a United States Senator, make it a part of their proclamation. That the votes cast for United States Senator, shall be counted and return ed, in the same manner as other officers. While these votes have no binding force, tbey arc an expression of the people's choice ; it amounts to a great deal to the legislator who de sires to deal honestly by his constit uents. It is a protection to the hon est man, and robs the knave of the excuse "I didn't know." Without authority of the County Board, there is no binding force on the elect ion boards to cauvass their votes. The method of proceedure is not provided for in the statutes, but it will be a very easy thing for con ventions to order tickets printed something after this fashion. . "Preference for U. S. Senator." The voter will not be greatly in convenienced, and it may be of im mense value to him. Let tho prac tice become common in this State and it wont be long before the peo ple will be heard, and U. S. Senators will regulate to themselves less of dignified distance which smacks too much of the British house of Lords. Butler Co. Press. Nebraska is likely to attract at tention politically, as well as other wise from other parts of tho Union. Our law in regard to expressing preference for U. S. Senator, and Van Wyck's appeal to the people to tnako tho law effective is being discussed in many of the eastern papers, some of them regarding it is a somewhat dangerous precedent to establish, while others think it a move in the right direction to have the United States Senate more nearly in line with the people. The New York Times closes a lengthy discussion thus: "As matters now are, too many seats in the senate are openly bought by the bribery of doubtful legisla tors, and this ecandal haB been in creasing year by year. If the Ne braska plan were generally adopted by the states, and a popular vote practically determined the choice of a United States senator, a dishonest candidate would find more difficulty in purchasing thousands of voters than he now has in bribing a few legislators. The Nebraska idea is a good one aud to be commended to the citizens of other states." The rounion of the G. A. R. at Grand Island is pronounced a grand success. It is claimed that on the 2d, fully forty thousand peopie visit ed the grounds. This day the grand parade of regular troops and Grand Army posts took place, nearly three thousand men were in line, the pro cession being headed by Gen. Thayer and staff officers and aids de camp. In the afternoon a meeting of West Virginia soldiers was held at which there was a large attendance. A flag was presented to the boys by the Ladies' Relief corps of Wheeling, W. Va., the elegant banner being the work of Mrs. Lydia W. Holliday, an 80-year-old lady, of Wheeling. The presentation speech being made by Mrs. Borhne, of Grand Island, and the response by Congressman Dorsey, tho orator of the West Verginia as sociation. State Fair. Everything is being put in readi ness for the best fair ever held in the state. Indications are that the exhibit of machinery will be double that of last year. A western Nebraska lady has made thirty-five entries in one department. Contracts have been signed for a display of Buffalo and Mexicau burros. Four speed entries from Texas have been received. An entry of fifty-two head ot Hereford cattle has been made. Sixteen counties have entered for complete exhibits. Consul will appear at the fair and show his mettle. He was recently sold by G. W. Bailey of Fairbury to C. E. Mayne of Omaha for $10,000. The car with an exhibit from Oregon will be run into the grounds and opened for inspection. It is fitted up regardless of expeusc, and is a beauty. The educational displays, made this year for the first time, will at tract considerable attention. Red Cloud with thirty braves fro a. the Pine Ridge agency is to be on the grounds a novel sight for some Nebraska children. The camp-fires at the Reunion were among the most interesting occurrences, and thousands of spec tators were gathered to hear the speeches of the comrades. Two camp fires were held, Maj. T. S. Clarkson presiding at one and Paul Vander voort at the other. At the former short addresses were made by Gen. Thayer, Capt. Henry C. Russell and at the latter an eloquent address was made by Senator Mandcrson. The sham engagements and battles were well performed and tho au dience wcro greatly interested and excited. Nothing happened to dis turb this part of the proceedings except an accident noted elsewhere. The mayor of Belle Plaine, Iowa, becoming alarmed the other day from tho tapping of a subterranean reservoir the flowing of water from which threatens lives an. I p-oporly of the citizens of the town by forming two rivers, which arc ruhiug through the center of tho place, he telegraphed for the be&t hyd raulic engineer in Chicago to come to save their city from a deluge. A new fruit destroyer has com menced its ravages on the orchards in the vicinity of Taylorsville, Ind. It is nearly black, and slightly smaller than, but similar to a wasp. It works principally on apple and pear trees, stinging the smaller limbs, and in a few hours the leaves and fruit wither and the branches die. D. P. Hamilton, a blacksmith of Grand Island, and member of the local post G. A. R., was shot in the face during the ehani battle at the re-union and dangerously iujarcd. His nose was broken aud face badly burned. Dr. Scott of St. Paul, Ncbr., was also hurt in tho shoulder by the blaze from a musket. Nothing definito has trauspired up to tho timo of this writing, from Sedgwick, the special American envoy to Mexico in the Cutting case. At the American legation, nothing is said regarding the rumors in circula tion concerning Sedgwick. Jackson has taken no part in tho matter. There are a good many queer people in this world. It is 6aid just at this timo Baltimore has as odd a personage as Charles Dickens's Mr. Dick. He is a book keeper who runs hiH house by rules, which he has printod and hung in the rooms and halls. Why would it uot be a good thing? Cornet bands in attendance upon the reunion of tho G. A. R. at Grand Island, Neb., wero from North Loup, Murray, Miudcu, Peru, Superior, Talmage, Hardy, Edgar, Franklin, Fairmont, Clarks, Chapmans, Broken Bow, Spring Creek, Kearney and Oakland, besides the Twenty-first infantry band from Fort Sidney. George Gale, a young lad who took a horse from a relative near Hebron, Neb., to aid him in running away, was captured the other day at Beatrice by Sheriff Green and brought back. His case was ex amined before the county judge who ordered him sent to tho Reform School. Another bond-call has been made by the acting Secretary, Fairchild, at Washington, for any uncalled United States 3 per cent, bonds to an amount not exceeding $10,000,000, paying par and accrued interest to dato of redemption. The timo given for the redemption is Sept. 15, or any time prior thereto. Another fire occurrod the other morning about 1 o'clock iu two four story buildiugs of the F. II. Sauuey Manufacturing Company, Chicago, and before the firemen could get it under control several buildiHgs were burned. Estimated loss, $75,000 ; in sured. Martha Brunner, from Nebraska, was found, cither crazed or drugged, at Sioux City Sunday. It is be lieved her mind is somewhat do ranged and that she has been ruined, having fallen in with certain parties who drugged her. The nominees on the York county legislative ticket have pledged them selves for the re-election of Senator Van Wyck. Citizens of Lincoln have or ganized a state insurance company with I. J. Imboff as president. Pawnee county delegates have been instructed to support Church Howe for congress. Shame ! California. San Francisco, Aug. 25, 18SG. Dear Journal: In my second com munication, I will give a few rambl ing, disconnecting thoughts, about scenes and incidents in California. One of the first things that strikes an easterner, is to see a city of 350,000 inhabitants, with scarcely a stone or brick bouse in it. The explanation is very simple. Of course a frame house, thoroughly juiued, braced, and bound together, will nt topple under a gentle earthquake, such as- would throw down a stone or brick hooso. There are many fine buildings in the city, however, and it presents quite a business like appearance. It i9 a great surprise io uhsumu iuwo when they go to the fruit stands to buy soiuo fruit, in the land that abounds iu all kinds of iruitp, to be informed that the pi ice is abont as high as iu Denver or Chicago. The cause of this is he fruit growers asso ciation. Under tl.c compact, the fruit stand dealers are required to bold up the prices, regardless of the fact that they may have perishable goods on hand. Soon as the fruit passes be yond a first class condition, it is gathered up by tho association, and thrown into the ocean, and paid for out of the funds of the association. Under this combination, they are able to maintain the high prices. Should your reader go to California let them pass by the fruit stands, and seek the groceries and buy a quantity of fruit, when they wilLfind that they gain a great advantage in prices. Of course every one visiting San Francisco will visit "China Town." This is no inconsiderable part of San Francisco, as the Chinese occupy from fifteen to twenty blocks, almost solid, close to the center of the city. They carry on all kinds of business, both reputable and disreputable, by legitimate and illegitimate methods; there are honorable men aud those so dishonorable as to scarcely deserve the name of a human bring. "Guides" are everywhere n hand, for as large a compensation a tlfy cui possibly secure, o rort vmi to ihe Chineo Theator, the opium dene, the lovcrpt dens of infamy, and overv where you mav dt'riro to go. It i quitn inter esting to visit tho Chinese Thpater, but instead of spending the whole evening, to secure the worth of your money, in five to fifteen minutes, sooner than to remain longer, you would be glad to pay something to let your irwMinniit go, to rscape from the theater. They have two large theaters. On your entrance into either of thesp, you are expected, with the greatest possible baafe, to make your way up the side aisle and get upon the stage, beside the per formers, and uot remain in tho body of the theater, crowded with Chinese. The men occupy the body of the theater, while tho females occupy the galleries. Sitting a you are close to tho performers, dreapd in the most gaudy silk and r.atin and gild ed trimmings, you might b able to rest comfortably were it not for tho hideous false faces, and head decora tions worn, making all the perform ers represent tho most horrid characters possible, so you are led to almost fear that you are in the presence of tho imps of his Satanic majesty. The plays seem to be of tho most tragic character, stabbing, shooting, blood, death, etc., etc., be ing tho most favorite. All these be ing accompanied by the Chinese Baud, making music, which in its ear-piercing character, would be greatly relieved if you were to be confined in a small room, with a set of performers on a baso drum, a twenty foot iron boilor, a half dozen saw filers, a half dozen old fashioned cow bells, and all the kindred noises you could imagine added to it. After five minutes listening to snch music, you aro ready to retreat from the stage into tho dressing room, as is expected of Americans. There you arc permitted to examino the rich wardrobes, smell the fumes of opium, and if you havo courage enough to go down tho long dark stairway to the under ground room, you will soo the opium smokog in all its demoralizing influences. Your stay will be short, and hastening back through tho dressing room, across the stage, without regard to what is the state of the performance, you will hasten through the crowded aisle to the open air, and rejoice once more to be freo. No one re grets one visit to sec what is .to be seen, but one is sufficient. Your readers may imagino that SanFrancisco is built on a level plain, extending back from the ocean. If so, they are badly mistaken. It is not even like Rome, built on her seven hills, but far more than that number. Some of these are so steep, that we observed wagons traveling them, would zig-zag from ono side of the street to the other. In a few in stances they must be at an angle of 33s degrees at least. The cable struct railway runs to almost every part of the city. It does not seem to have any more trouble to climb these steep streets, than while running on the level. Most certainly every in habitant of Sau Francisco, has cause to daily offer bleisings upon the in ventor of the cablo railroad, as a horse car would bo of little service on most of the streets. A. J.
