All the phenomena of nature can be classed as matter or force. It is now believed that force, like mat ter, is indestructible and only changes its form. So intimately are tho forces of Nature connected that the disturbance of any one is certain to involve a variety of ef fects. Hydrogen is the lightest of any known substances and platinum the heaviest Liquid matter passes through lead and water and has been forced through the pores of gold. Microscopic researches have introduced us to a realm of life peopled with ani mate beings, which are born, grow, re produce their kind and die; and yet so minute that many millions of them heaped together would not exceed in size a grain of sand.

The evil is done, the law is passed and we begin tho up hill agitation for repeal of that which wo ought to have prevented the enacting. What we call our root and branch reforms of slavery war, gambling, temperance, is only in dicating tho symptoms. We must begin higher up namely, in education. Em erson. The German people learned this of their ruler: His harshness covered a purpose to shape their government for their own good. Coercive measures were a necessity to his policy. He was harsh and seemingly cruel only when he le lieved it to be necessary for the welfare of tho people themselves. The Germany of today is the vindication he desired the strongest military power in the world; a bulwark of peace, while invinci ble in war; a prosperous, happy people, loving their emperor, proud of the fa therland; an enlightened, progressive nation the best governed monarchy in the history of modern times. Omaha Republican. An attempt was made the other day to rob tho Bradford, Pa., National bank by a man named Kimball; the cashier, Harvey Tomlinson was the only man in the bank at tho time except the robber, and just as the robber grabbed a large bundle of bank notes Tomlinson seized the robber, and in the struggle which ensued the thief shot Tomlinson fatally. He took the money and started. Blich, one of the pursuers, was shot and prob ably fatally wounded. The robber see ing escape was impossible, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Tho rascal was not considerate enough to commit suicide first, Indianapolis Journal: The Journal has heretofore remarked that the Chica go convention will l)e a republican con vention, will nominate a republican can didate, and will adopt a republican platform. No man will lie a candidate who was in active or tacit opposition to Mr. Blaine in 18SJ, and neither the can didate nor the platform will le dictated by free trade mugwumps. This is a valuable chunk of gospel truth, offered to everybody without money and with out price. Last week heavy rains visit ed Bon ham, and that section of Texas, which have done great damage to crops and railroads. One night the Hood washed away alxnit sixty feet of the track of the M. P. railway three miles east of Bon ham. A farmer discovered the damage and remained in the cold rain and wind a long time to warn the engineer of the fast freight train of his danger. He saved the train and probably the ex press also, which was but a short dis tance behind. A furious storm of wind, accompanied successively by rain,snow, hail and sleet, broke over the Atlantic coast early Sun day evening. It traveled in a north easterly direction, destroying telegraph ic communication with Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. No such destructive storm to telegraph wires has been experienced in many years. It is said that not one wire can be used be tween New York and Philadelphia. Ex-Senator Harrison, of Indiana, addressed the republican club and citi zens at Bohanan's hall, Lincoln, the other night. His address was an able one and enjoyed by a large audience. On the platform were Gov. Thayer, ex- Gov. Saunders and Judge Parker, presi dent of the club. A general hand shaking was indulged in. after the ad dress, by the many friends of Harrison, in Lincoln. The new office of the Evening Union, at Springfield, Mass., was burned out the other afternoon. Five of the employes either had to meet death in the flames from the building, or risk their lives by jumping from the fifth story to the ground. One burnt to death and four jumped and were killed; five others re ceived such injuries as are likely to prove fatal. There is a serious need for a change in the State Constitution, relative to the investment of the permanent school fund of the state. At the present time over six hundred thousand dollars of that fund is lying idle for want of in vestment, there being no securities in which to invest it according to the con stitutional provisions therefor. Wahoo wasp. A can of paraphine which caught fire the other morning in New York and ex ploded caused a damage of over a hun dred thousand dollars. The principal losers are J. n. Bunnell & Co., electric telegraphers' supplies, and Simeon Rache & Co., glass importers. NEBRASKA NOTES. Wymore will have another democratic paper. Falls City sold her waterworks bonds at par.

Weiderburch, a horse thief, was ar rested the other day for stealing a team of O. Davis, of Rulo. Congressman Dorsey denies that he has invested money in the purchase of the Omaha Republican. The foundation of the new court house at Kearney, will be taken up and the work commenced anew. Ten business houses are being erect ed at Palmer and as many more are ex pected to be started in a short time. The president the other day nominat ed Charles C. Jones, of Nebraska, to be register of the land office at Neligh. The treasurer of Merrick county seems to be short about $10,000. The commissioners have decided to employ an expert.

Greenwood, has been tried at Beatrice to a jury and a verdict returned for the plaintiff for 81,500. Captain W. C. Henry, commander elect of the department of Nebraska G. A. R., was banqnetted the other evening by Lyon Post .No. 11, in the G. A. R. building at Grand Island. All over this state republican dele gates have promptly been appointed to attend the republican convention at Omaha tomorrow. Republicans at Oma ha are making preparations to tender them a grand reception. Dr. Theron E. Webb, formerly of Shelton, but later of Idaho and more re cently in the drug business in Plum Creek, died at Shelton on the morning of the 3d inst. It is said that he con tracted the habit of using morphine while in Idaho to allay his sufferings from rheumatism and became a victim of its use. He was a son of ex-Mayor Webb of Kearney. The other day a freight train on the Kansas City, St Joe & Council Bluffs road was delayed six miles southwest of Nebraska City by a tie having been placed across the track. Before the passenger train could be flagged, it ran into the rear of the freight, wrecking a number of cars and the engine. A mim ler of persons are reported injured, among whom are the engineer and fire man of the passenger. Two men were arrested on suspicion. The name of Jack Kehoe is mentioned for United States marshall. While we have uot the slightest idea that any change will le made in the office for a year, it is still a pleasure to second the nomination of so sterling a democrat and competent a gentleman for that or any other office. (Lincoln Democrat. The son-in-law of his wife's father, though a republican, seems to have a solid grip on that office, notwithstanding this civil-service administration. We find the following in the Madison Chronicle, from their Warnerville cor respondent : "The directors of the can ning company met Saturday and engag ed Mr. Potter, of Blair, as superintend ent of the factory for a year. Mr. Pot ter was here in person and demonstrated to the minds of the directors that he was thoroughly efficient in the canning business. Mr. P. will remove to .this place before April 1st, and superintend the building of the factory." Train No. 4, going east on the Union Pacific, after arriving at Fremont two hours late yesterday, was delayed here another half-hour by reason of a hot lx which burned tho end of an axle off, al lowing the trucks to drop and rest on the rails. Fortunately the accident happen ed while the train was at a standstill, and was discovered before it started, otherwise it might have resulted disas trously. The passengers were transfer red to another car and the disabled coach was sidetracked here. Fremont Herald. Twenty-one people from the town of Garrison, Butler county, are in the city on their way to Box Butte county, and will go north tomorrow. They are well supplied with household goods and farm implements and go well equipped to become prosperous farmers. They will settle about twenty miles south of Rushville. There is a colony there of about fifty people who have gone in at the solicitation of Passenger Agent Lewis; they are much pleased with the country, many of the present delegation having been in that section to inspect the land. They are forerunners of a vast emigration for the coming year. Fremont Tribune. A jury has just returned a verdict in favor of Catharine Klenck as against the city of Seward, on a claim of $2,000 dam ages sustained by reason of a fall on the city's sidewalk, Dec, 22, '86, by which she broke a leg and was rendered a crip ple for life. The verdict was for $1,200 and, it may interest Journal readers to know that the verdict (according to the Reporter) involved the following points: "that plaintiff had followed the side walk all the time and fell on the stoaes of the crossing; that she stumbled and fell where the stone crossing and plank walk joined (the planks being higher than the stone walk): that the walk was in an unsafe condition and that plaintiff was not chargable with carelessness in bringing about the accident." Washington Letter. From onr regular correspondent. The last democratic combination is one that should interest every old sol. dief It has been entered into by mem bers of the house of representatives for the purpose of preventing the dependent pension bill from being voted upon when it gets before that body. It is said here that Cleveland himself requested the formation of this combination in order to prevent his having to either veto or sign this bill just on the eve of a presi dential election. The tactics to be adopted in the house to accomplish the defeat of this bill will include fillibustering of all sorts by the membersof this cowardly combination. Cleveland talks to Grand Army men whom he meets as though he would sign this bill should it pass while at the same time he is probably chuckling to himself to think that his friends will prevent a vote being taken on it. This is all the more cowardly from the fact that few democrats in the house, with the excep tion of those from the south, will dare record their votes against such a meas ure. The republicans of tho house, how ever, although in the minority, will probably be able to defeat this well laid scheme to deprive the preservers of the Union of their well earned pensions. Yonr Senator Paddock, who recently paid his respects to the inefficient mail service, denounced the management of post office department fort lie last three years as a failure probably a more con spicuous failure than any of the other shortcomings of the present administra tion. The Senator did good work for the west. The senate has agreed to an amend ment of the dependent jiension bill, which makes' it apply also to those who served in the war with Mexico or (for thirty days) in any of the Indian wars. It seems that the sudden change of mind which came over certain inemliers of the democratic committee in regard to pleasing Cleveland as to the time of holding the nominating convention, cost a goodly sum of hard cash, in addition to an almost unlimited number of prom ises of patronage. Rumor says that the amount paid was over $20,000 and that it was all furnished by Mr. W. L. Scott, the millionaire congressman from Penn sylvania, and confidential friend of Cleveland. The Oklahoma Territory bill, now pending before the house, is being an tagonized by the friends of a substitute which provides for negotiation with the Indians before taking possession of any part of their territory. The president will get another chance to veto the bill to quiet the title of set tlers to the Des Moinos river lands. The house committee on public lands have agreed to report the bill favorably and it is almost sure to pass. Democratic newspapers have been as suring their readers that Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania would support the tariff bill proposed by the majority of tho ways and means committee as soon as it was placed before the house. Now, Mr. Randall's intimates aunounco that ho is engaged in framing a tariff bill of his own, which he proposes to offer as soon as completed. The Pennsylvanian will be sure to have some followers from this side of the house, which makes it extremely doubt ful whether the low tariff democrats can succeed in getting their bill passed even by the house. Of course it is doomed to defeat in the senate should it ever reach that lwdy. Senator Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, has reported to the senate the bill to amend the acts relat ing to Chinese emigration. He proposes as soon as practicable to call it up for action in the senate. The bill provides that the words "Chinese laborer" and "Chinese passenger" shall be held to in clude and to mean any person of the Chinese race without regard to the gov ernment to which the Chinese may owe allegiance, or to the port, place or coun try from which they come. Other sec tions of the bill relate to the return of Chinese laborers who have left this country and to the issuanoe of certifi cates to those leaving. By request of the Home Market Club Of Boston, Mr. Long, of Massachusetts, has introduced in the house n tariff bill which readjusts the sugar duty and gives a lxmnty for the production of American beet and maple sugar, reduces the tax on tobacco fiO per cent, and re moves the tax from distilled spirits withdrawn from bonded ware-houses, for use in the arts. it. orrep.mi.entt. In thin department the people talk, and not the editor. Kach writer must hold himself ready to defend hit, principled and hit, statements of facts. "In the multitude of counsel thero in wisdom." Ed. Jocbnal.1 Don't "Monkey" With the Revenue. Ed. Journal: I am of the lielief that every patriotic citizen of the United States should enter his protest against the meddling with the revenue as long as there is a dollar of war debt to be paid, and I believe that no good busi ness man who has the honesty to promptly pay Mb obligations would cripple his resources or income so long as he had an obligation to pay or had a debt due and unpaid. If it is at all nec essary to have an agency or a system arranged for the purpose of paying a public debt owed by the public, why not continue that system until the matter is accomplished, or else repudiate the debt at once? To undertake at this time to cripple or ctit off the income or revenue until every dollar of the public debt is paid looks to me to be a great stride to wards repudiation, and is a dangerous proceeding. Who knows what a day may bring forth? In lees than one year we may be involved in a great struggle with some other nation, where all the resources of our government may be needed, with this public debt unpaid and the machinery of our revenue all out of fix. And, at any rate, it looks like suicidal policy to destroy our ability to pay our debts, by any Buch movement. If we have debts to pay, why not pay them while we have a surplus of money to do it, in place of destroying our ability to do so, even if we had to pay the in terest in advance that would accrue when the debt was due? Every person knows that the easiest time to pay a debt is when he has the money to do it. After that, it might, perhaps, be good policy to reduce the revenue. Then, there is another public debt that the public owes, where there are no bonds given. That should be paid more promptly than the bonded debt, and so long as the public are in condition, are able and willing to pay this, their con science debt, it should be done, before I we dispense with the revenue; a debt! where our moral obligations are more at stake than in our Ixinded indebtedness, viz., the debt we owe the defenders of the nation. This debt is more binding and sacred from the fact that if it had not been for the defenders of our gov ernment, there would now be no means or ability to pay the bonded debt. Therefore so long as the public owe a public debt and the public are in shape to pay the public, then, so long, don't "monkey" with the revenue. K. X. Written for the Jouu.vu,.
