Three Ceats a Mile.
While Brother Simmons of the
Seward Jieporler was explaining
that three-cents-a-mile-passenger-tariff
bill that Van Wyck voted for
in the Senate in 1.881, be might prop
erly have added that on a motion to
indefinitely postpone, the Senate
being a tie, fifteen to fifteen, the
presiding officer, Mr. Cams, of Sew
ard, voted to postpone, thus defeat
ing the measure. The bill had quite
a history, as may be seen, by those
interested, in examining Senate File
No. 52, in the Senate Journal for.
1881. Briefly it was as follows: on
the 19th day of the session the bill
was introduced by Senator H. M.
Wells. It was referred to the rail
road committee of which John C
Myers was chairman, the committee
consisting of Myers, C. H. Gere, II.
M. Wells, H. F. Cady, Isaac Powers,
J. F. Burns and H. Zehruug. The
bill was a plain, straight bill provid
ing that the railroads of Nebraska
should not charge more than three
cents a mile for carrying passengers.
There were serious defects in the bill,
as introduced, one of which would
have rendered it unconstitutional,
had it passed in that shape. These
were remedied when the bill came
to be considered in committee of the
whole. The measure run the uual
gauutlet, but final action was taken
on the 38th day. Erviu moved that
the consideration of the bill be in
definitely postponed. The yeas and
nays being demanded, were as fol
lows: for postponment, Ballantine,
Burns, of Dodge, Cady, Coon, Daily,
Ervin, Evans, (of Butler), Gere, (C.
II., now of the railroad commission),
Morse, Myers, Perkin?, Pieice,
Powers, (late Attorney Genera!),
Smith, (B. K., of Boone county), and
Zehrung.
Those voting against postponment,
and thus going on the record as
favoring the reduction of passenger
rates to three cents a mile were :
Baker, Burns, (ot York), Dinsmore,
Doane, Graham, Harrington? Howe,
Taylor, Tefft, Turk, Turner, Van
Wyck, (now U. S. Senator), Wells,
Wherry and White.
Being a tie vote, 15 to 15, the fate
of that measuro in the Nebraska Sen
ate, in tho year 1881, depended upon
one man's vote, that of the presiding
officer, Edward C. Carne, Lieut. Gov
ernor, from the county of Seward.
He voted for postponement, and thus
helped to defeat one of the attempts
made in the Nebraska legislature to
fix a limit to railroad extortion.
When the complete history of rail
road legislation comes to. be written,
there will bo some interesting chap
ters for Nebraska, and one of them
will bave considerable to say of Mr.
Cams aud his perfect subserviency to.
railroad influences. It will be well
for the republican party of Nebraska
when such men are not elected to
office.
The celebration ot the Knights of

in the procession.

Columrus has two candidates for
the nomination for governor, on op

would fill the Gubernatorial chair
with dignity and grace, and should

the choice for tho next governor
down to a purely Columbus affair,
there would be a very pretty race,and

with country, trip, people, and so
forth. He took some pains to in
quire into the labor movement on the
coast. He reports 5,000 socialists in
San Francisco, and only 12 anarchists
in that whole country ; that California
contains 75 trades union and 70 labor
organizations.
Eastern Colorado and western Ne

Nebraskans occasionally call on the

He came to this country for relief
and I guess be did not find much of
it Mr. J as. Meagher and family

homesteads near Jule6burg.
Former ColumbuB residents who
live in Denver so far as I can learn
are getting along nicely. Dr. Bone
steel is working up a good practice in
his profession, ne has now five
cases of typhoid fever. Patients are
doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer
are prospering. They have a large
circle of friends here and in Platte
county. Mr. A. Henricb, the father
of J. S., is the very "salt of the earth."
E. IE. Dean, Esq., of David City, paid
his respects. His daughter, Jessie,
is still here. She thinks of teaching 1
a music d. at Longmou, this
state. J. E. Munger, Eq , a promi
n nt citizen or Columbus, called yes
terday with his half brother, W. S.
Anderson, who is running a grocery

used to hold the office of Commis

A. M. Dorland aud family resido on
Capitol Hill. Mr. D. is still in tho
employ of Fuller & Fuller, wholesale

Mrs. Smith comes to this city occa

field has filed a suit against his wife
Lizzie, nee Burgees, for divorce on

will keep her matters straight, When
I was back there last spring, I was
informed that many of the roads laid
out by her Board of Commissioners
are illegal on account of the want
of the proper steps being taken in the
first instance to get jurisdiction;
that thore was a suit pending at that
time in the District court involving
some such question, and Judge Post
was inclined to follow the rulings of
the Ohio Supreme court to the effect
that such Boards are quasi judicial
tribunals and they must show the
authority upon which they act, in
every instauce. Such decisions are
just, because man's private property
should not be taken for any purpose
unless iu accordance with the law.
The producers, the fanning com

The sharks live easily aud despoil

have this country by tho throat, and
unless something is done to prevent,
they will choke it to death. Such
oppression is the main cause of the
discontent that is spread over our
fair laud. What else can wo expect,
when it is almost impossible for any
person, other than a corporation tool
or attorney, to be eloctcd to the
United States Senate, iu not a few of

Editors Journal: I have been a
constant reader of the Journal for
years and pronounce it a republican
paper from the ground up but will
take this occasion to remind you that
if you wish to make a paying busi
ness of politics, you must work with
our machine instead of fooling your
time away workiug with that part ot
the human raco generally known as
the common herd. That they are
vastly in the majority matters not as
you already know we have a way of
disposing of them when it comes to
the grand, round up at election times.
How do we do it? with brains and
money, of course. To convince you
I will give you a few pointers. Do
you remember how we got away
with the common herd when thn
majority at the lost legislature tried
to get in a trifle of legislation to ena
ble them to talk business to our
"little enterprise" generally called
R. R. financiering by our side,
though commonly known by the
name of "R. It. extortion" by the
common herd. Well of course they
were in the majority, but we got
away with them and made them
swallow our little board of R. R.
commissioners, and we are going to
do it again. Do you notice how the
railroads and Lincoln aro moving to
gether and how Omaha and other
localities kick? Do you hear any
talk of removing tho capitol of Ne
braska to Columbus or any other
central point, or much of any pros
pect of doing away with our usual
appropriations for public buildings
down at Lincolu? You see when it
comes to money and brains vs. num
bers and good intentions, as a rule
the latter usually get left. We have
men paid in various ways for work
ing for our interests in every county
in the state, republicans as well as
democrats, also republican and demo
cratic papers. We will admit that
we bave a big job on hand this fall to
dispose of that pet of the common
herd, Chas. U. Van Wyck, but we
have got to beat bim if it takes all the
money in the pool. In my letter next
week will tell why we want to beat
him and how we are going to do it.

My wile for many years was
afflicted with a blood disease which
baffled the most skillful treatment,
and finally resulted in a very large
ulcerated and ugly looking running
sore on one of her lnr.lH. which had
beon growing larger and larger for
the last tour years, discharging
quantities of pus or matter, and was
so rapidly undermining her health
that I almost dospaired of effecting a
euro. I tried every known remedy,
such as the sarsaparilla and potash
mixtures and prescriptions of the
best physicUnH, with no benefit in
any way. A few months ago my
attention wan called !o 5. S. S. I
procured some of this incdiciue,
which she besran to take, and in a
short lime increased in nosh and
streugth, and the sore, which was
then larger than my hand aud
reached t. the bone, upkmii to heal.
After continuing ha use a Jew weeks,
she regained her health and spirits,
and the sore wa entirely healed.
She had beou iu such a terrible con
dition for vears. and was so near
death's loor at the time she com
menced the S S. S., thai I refrained
from making the facts kuown to the
public. Though knowing or being
satisfied that she was cured, I feared
the dUea3e might return; but as it
has now been three mouths since she
stopped using tho medicine, and is iu
