Lixcouf, Nov. 4. The beef traat

uucer, lou put up ine pnoe oi , neui to
the consumer.. This may or inaj not be
true, but one thine is
but one thine w certain. There
lias been an abundance of indignation,
agitation, investigation and legislation
on the subject. States have enacted in
spection laws intended to prevent the
shipment of slaughtered carcaates into
tlieir local markets. A senatorial com
tuittee lias traveled extensively and ac
complished an exhaustive research into
the matter. Platforms have bristled
with it, and speakers thundered about it
from the forum, while Uie bitterest edi
tor has felt liis inability to do it justice.
And vet I rather opine that if the situa
tion is wrong there is
An Kaay Beaaedy.
Nobody longer questions the health
fulness and economy of slaughtering cat
tle in large establishments where every
atom of the animal is utilized. The day
or killing for only the meat, hide and
tallow is gone by. It is too wasteful of
valuable material, too unpleasant to the
eye and nobe, and too dangerous to the
public healtli. A circle of stench-giving,
disease-breeding slaughterhouses around
every town can no longer
be tolerated. Now, what is to
be done? The answer is a trifle lengthy
if duly clalmrated, but it may bo con
deiiMxL Thefarmersand butchers of Lan
caster county have liad several meetings
and have resolved to establish a killing
and packing house in West Lincoln of
sufficient caiacity to use up the cattle of
this and adjoining counties. It will be
supplied with the machinery and appli
ances necessary to manufacture all the
offal, bones, liead, hide, hair and feet into
merchantable commodities. The trim
mings are to be canne . This is
The Right Thing.
at least to alf appearances, and there is no
reason why a similar policy might not be
Iursued in every town in the state prop
erly located and possessing the necessary
capital and enterprise. A similar estah-.
lishment is to be erected at Nebraska City
by the owner of a packing house there. It
is a self-evident fact tliat useless transpor
tation is clear waste. There is no reason
u by a steer should betaken from a farm,
hauled 200 or ."SOft miles, butchered and
the carcass then &nt back to be re
tailed from the block in the
town adjoining the farm from
which he came. Yet such is undeniably
the ease under the present system.
There would seem to be a waste of the
double haul, as well asa local and special
disadvantage in having the labor and
the manufacture of products other than
meat done elsewhere than in the com
munity affected. Now, it order to
demonstrate the feasibility of the reme
dial scheme, as well as to bring it upon
a basis of intelligent discussion, it will
be necessary to
Ctgmre a Little.
Let os take, for instance, a territory
containing 30,000 people. Of these, as
people are distributed-in this state, per
haps twenty thousand buy all their meat
from Uie butcher. The remainder buy
less, say one-fourth. The first class will
use proliably a half pound daily per
capita, or 10,000 pounds. The remainder
will need to buy something like five
thousand pounds. This makes necessary
for them about thirty average beef car
casses per day, or the equivalent thereof.
I am not sufficiently posted to state with
assurance whether or not an establish
ment of a capacity of thirty beeves a
day
Can Be Kan at a Praftt,
or even maintained at alL It would be
able to pay a little more for meat on the
lioof and sell a little clieaper to the retail
shops, on account of the saving of freight
and shrinkage. All its stock would
come to it on foot from within tlte range
of a day's drive. The experiment in Lin
coln would begin under much more fa
vorable circumstances than these men
tioned liaving at least 63,000 meat buy
ing people in the city and within an
hour's ride by rail oaa day's drive on
foot. The man who is going into the
bustnessjat Nebraska City ia an expert,
and I am told he is confident that the
basts oaHined above is sufficient for a
succosf ul enterprise of the kind if man
aged skillfully and backed by enough
capital to resist the fierce competition
that would be at first inaugurated by
the present alleged combine. If these
rretutaeeAre fieand
there is no doubt that the people every
where can be made comparatively inde
pendent of Uie condition about which
so much outcry has been made. The
local butcher quite naturally prefers to
have his killing done by somebody eke,
so that he gets rid of the annoyance, a
pleatsantness and hard labor involved by
it At Uie same time the wastage,
which lias been to him both a dead loss
and a troublesome nuisance, has becoate
the means of actually cheapening his
goods. In this aspect of the case it may
be taken for granted that Uie individual
slaughtering of live stock for meat has
cotnetoaaend. The question to be set
tled is. how shall Uie killing
centers be distribatcd? Shall ws

As Batters now stead in this c: Jtaed
country the dog, collectively aad in gen
eral., nuisance. His day of usefulness is
past. From Uie utilitarian point of view
he does not earn his salt. It is true there
are some valuable dogs, whose nobility
of disposition and power of amtwing or
otherwise serving their owners go far
toward redeeming the canine race from
Uie necessity of pleading guilty to the
charge of utter worthlsssacsn In this
city a war has been jnsds upon Uie
dog. A tax of St par bead has
been laid upon him, and if it has not
been paid he hsnheea raahlessly gathered
iu and killed. But it strikes me that the
right basis upon which to preserve indi
vidual dogs has not been reached. The
safety of tat dog depends upon two
things first, the affection and conse
quent willingness of the owner to pay
the tar, aad second, the ability to payJ
It win he seen that

mal has the
kch o( .tne law uirowu
over Jam by tiki payment of two paltry
silver coins;- in otner woras, uie pay
ment of this fee enables a man who can
afford it to maintain an actual nuisance.
Meanwhile Uie poor man's dog, though
he faithfully keep watch' and ward,
though he be the friendly comrade and
the soul's delight of all the children in
Uie block, though his honesty, fidelity,
intelligence aad dignity shine as an ex
ample to Uie inferior creators, man yet
he must ignominiously die without a
word in his defense. It would really
seem that with all our boasted intelli
gence we have not yet discovered Uie
best and most righteous way of dealing
with the dog. But when can a people
be truly said to have' any real intelli
gence, 'boasted or otherwise, when they
have exterminated the buffalo and pre
serves' the dog?
UraUm
are constantly increasing in number on
Uie statute books. In the beginning Uie
intent was to secure to Uie laborer his
wages. The object was a good one, and
Uie effort was justifiable. But the most
Uiat has been actually accomplislied has
been the procuring of a new set of vic
tims for the dishonest man. Under Uie
old regime Uie dislionest foreman,
contractor or superintendent swindled
the men whom he employed. Since
they have been 'protected from hi ra
pacity he now swindles Uie men who
employ him. As the man who employes
is probably better able to be victimized
than Uie laborer, there is possibly a
rude sort of average justice in Uie
net rcaultr after all. But it is doubtless
more apparent than real. The employer
is generally pretty well able to look out
for himself, and when he contemplates
embarkiag upon any enterprise, build
ing, for instance, he takes into consider
atiou all Uie risks he runs and allows for
them in Uie expense he is willing to in
cur. Tina economy comes of necessity
Oat of the Terv Wasjee
it was Uie intent of Uie law to protect
and secure. And it is a general rule
that security make clieapness. If a
man's wages are certain to come, even if
at the end of a suit, lie will natu -ally
Hork cheaper. It is, therefore, quite
doubtful if what are knowu as labor lien
laws are any benefit in their total effect
to Uio laborer. Theae laws have been
followed by a horde of
Sparleiu OaTaprlaa;.
Landlords have secured Uie enactment
of a law mirg it a crime to be too poor
to payiboard. Liverymen have a lien on
all the stock they keep. And so it goes,
until almost Uie only man who does not
have a special, ironclad statute for his
benefit is th j fellow who at all times and
in all cases gives the money's worth. I
mean tte man who sells something or
anything "on space." He give always
100 cents on Uie dollar, but often doesn't
get his dollar. The law does not con
sider him a worthy subject of its care.
Under the exemption laws, on the other
hand, he may be defied by men wlio are
worth thousand of dollars more than
himself. In Uie language of somebody
who ought to -have a monument and
whose name should be a household word,
t'us is "a state of things."
The Winter Exedwa.
There are many Nebraska people who
go to a milder climate for the winter,
generally to the Pacific coast. But this
fail there is already apparent a move
ment in Uie direction of Florida. It
should tie encouraged, A low round
trip rate has been made and Uie climate
of the Land of Flowers is an ideal one
for those who find Uie winter in tins lat
itude too inclement Thoso who have to
stay at liome should encourage
the current of migration" to Flor
ida. Why? Because Uie man who
goes to tliat clime will return ia the
spring, driven back by Use summer heat
while be wlto goes to Uie Pacific coast
too often stays there or goes back .to
stay, to tlie detriment of our own com
moiiwealth. Clubs to promote Uie in
terests of Florida as a healtii resort
should be formed all over Uie northwest.

Pacific. A letter enclosing 1190 for the
prosecution fund from the Celtic club of
Rochester, N. Y., was read. After va
rious committees on arrangements had
reported progress, P. V. Dunne arose
and said:
There is a demand for decided action
by this body. Dr. O'Reilly and CoL At
kinson of Detroit have gone to Ireland.
It k not possible they had no object m
view, and I move that we send a cable
gram to Painell at once to advise him of
their true mission. The opposition, Uie
murderers of Dr. Cronia, and the arch-'
fiend back of U, all have seat them there
to poison Uie minds of our race. They
are now, trying to find -support in the
'old country, and if we don't tet our coun
trymen know who they are and what
they are there for, we will suffer for it
We are already misunderstood and Par
nell ought to be advised to have nothing
to do with them until he hears from the
meeting of the 23d.
That lUffht,"
said P. O. O'Connor. "Fotir-Gftiis of Uie
Irish people are so mystified that they
believe tliere was justification in the
murder of Dr. Crouin, and tliat he was
a spy. The mau we know to be respon
sible for his murder, and who has long
been the plunderer and spoilsman of his
people, is their demi-god. The Irish peo
ple can't believe fiat Ibis uncrowned
king of 15.000.000 peop!e can be guilty
of such a crime, and they look upon us
with contempt for prasecu ing patriots
who they believe put (o death spies.
These men who have ;mie to Ireland
know wiiat they are about, and tliey will
get aid either of a sentimental' or a
financial kind to buy the acquittal of the
tools of the arch fit nd.
The suggestion was opposed by John
Devoy on the ground that the coming
event was a celebration of a revolution

from it to Pamell might embarrass that

Railroading la England.
A paragraph has been going the
round of t'ue newspapers to the effect
that in England locomotives carry
neither headlight, whistles nor bells,
and that guards are stationed at inter
vals of a mile along the tracks. If this
is correct the system of railroading
must have been completely changed
recently. Guards are only placed on
the track when royal trains are
scheduled, when by tnVway all ordi
nary traffic is suspended. As to head
lights most locomotives carry two and
some three, and on the crowded me
tropolitan tracks officials and experi
enced travelers cau tell what is the
destination of a train by the arrange
ment of these lights. Bells are not
carried, but the curse of the railroad
whistle cau only be appreciated by
the man who lives near the mouth of
an English tunnel. One of the num
erous boanUof trade regulations com
pells the engineer or "driver," as he is
called, to blow the whistle before en
tering a tunnel or rounding a sharp
curve. This whistle is very shrill and
offensive to sensitive ears. On some
lines it is always blown at a station in
response to the guard's (or conduo
tors) signal to go ahead. Interview

Byalleddsfog is the sailor's bitterest
and most dreaded enemy. The expe
rience of a ship captain trying to
make a landfall after several days of
thick weather is very trying. He has
no opportunity of taking an observa
tion. Every day he has brought his sex
tant on deck as the hour of noon ap
proached in the vain hope of "shooting
the sun," as Jack irreverently calls it
Every day he has been doomed to dis
appointment He is then compelled to
rely upon dead reckoning alone, and
dead reckoning is very apt to prove de
ceptive. What with careless helmsmen,
the unknown set of ocean currents, and,
in iron ships, some unexpected deviation
of the compass, the supposed course is
often far different from the real angle
the ship's keel makes through the water.
On such an occasion frequent sound
ing with the lead is the sailor's only
safeguard. There is no operation more
heartily hated on shipboard than heav
ing Uie old fashioned deep sea lead.
For sounding in shallow water the
hand lead is still used all over the world,

The Hereditary Principle Ulaatrated.,
The principle of heredity has re--ceived
a most striking illustration in the
case of Uie family and kinsmen of ex
President Theodore Dwight Woolsey, of
Yale college. Dr. Woolsey was a de
scendant of James Pierrepont, the fa
mous native of Roxbury, who having
become dissatisfied with Uie liberal ten
dencies of Harvard college, induced
Elibu Yale to found a more conservative
school at New Haven. The present presi
dent of Yale, Timothy Dwight, is also a
descendant of the same founder, and
with the history of the families of Dwight
is interwoven that of the families of Ed
wards and Pierrepont, who have given
many illustrious names to American his
tory and letters.' It is no mere coinci
dence that both Woobey.and Dwight,
Nineteenth century presidents of Yale,
should both have been great-great-grandsons
of the principal founder of Use col
lege; for the "high thinking and plain
living of the early families who were
closely associated with Uie institution,
developing itself into a hereditary im
petus or ability, was quite likely to sup
ply Uie qualities needed in future presi
dents." New York Star.

- Tlie seals that frequent Uie Maine
coast are easily tamed. The mate of a
coasting schooner lias one that follows
him like a dog, and is allowed to take a
bath in the sea whenever he likes, with
uo fear of his escaping. One would
think a 6eal too repulsive in his make up
to attract a lady's affection; but we once
saw a lady offer to give a fisherman, who
had caught one of these ugly wallowing
sea pigs, a five dollar bill if he would
throw him overboard and forswear his
hiJe and blubber. Lewiston Journal.

A prosperous Slavonian rancher re
siding in the soutii end of the Huac-
huca mountains.has hit upon a
happt
tcheloi
plan for getting wives for his bachelor
neighbors. Some time ago he visited
his native land and while there found
that there were a large number of
worthy young ladies among his ac-
guaintances who would be only too
appy to find homes and husbands in
the land of progress and liberty. Se
curing the photographs of a number
of these young1 ladies he brought
them back with him and lost no op
portunity to show them to his bache
lor friends. He told them thai he had
the promise of these youmj ladies that
they would come to America and mar
ry the man he would recommend,
and, as a consequence, a great many
of his neighbors have secured excel
lent wives, each one selecting his
choice from the . photographs. No

DMat Iihe tho Milk.
A London bishop had gone down
into the country to visit a charitable
institution, into which poor lads had
been drafted from the cast end of Lon
don, and in addressing them ho con
gratulated them on the delights of
their new residence. The boys looked
nuaoconntably gloomy and downcast,
and the bishop kindly asked:
"Are you not comfortable? Have you
any complaints to make!"
At last the leader raised his iiand.
"The milk, my lord."
"Why. what on earth do yon
mean? The milk here is ten fold bet
ter than you ever had in London."
"No, indeed, it ain't," said the boy.
"In London thejr always buys our

so small indeed as to occasion remarks
from strangers. His name was Jesse

some woman of ordinary stature, and
they raised a large family of daughters,
quite celebrated for their beauty and

widely scattered in tlie country, and
some of them noted for business and pro
