The Thaw murder trial moves slow ly on in New York city. The young wife deliberately swears her own char acter away and the character of the mardered man. in order that she may save the life of her degenerate hus band, ft is difficult to know or de scribe public sentiment about this trial, but in a large measure the sympathies of the people go out to the young wife, ana-tne awe ousenct auoroey, nr.

The manager of one western railroad system traversing nine states notes that two-cent fare bills are pending in every one of them, with good chances of success in several. The Boston & Maine railroad has lately reduced its feres voluntarily to two cents as far north as Bellows Falls and Concord in Vermont and Few Hampshire, leaving practically all of New England aonth of those points under the two cent fere is to be in the near future the, general charge as the three-cent fere has been in the past The three cent fere went into effect in Nebras ka, Jane 6, 1885, over twenty years agov when the population and wealth of the state were only a' fraction of what they are now. Lincoln Journal. This week the treasury department at Washington will decide where the new Columbus post office building will he located. We believe that if O.L. Baker would have been in earnest about selling his lots on Fourteenth street, the post office would be located there, but as it is the Millett or Hughes lota will be drawn, with the chances in favor of Hughes. Hughes has the better chance; first, because his bid is the lower, and second beoause his location is more central than that of the Millett lots. Nine-tenths of our people will be satisfied with cither location. We take no stock in reformers that .want to reform everybody and every thing, except themselves and their own intereste. We think the local freight rates in Nebraska are too high and should be reduced, but the railroad should and will reduce Whether a state wide primary will be a good thing for Nebraska is a question. The great trouble with our primary elections is not in the law, but in the feet that so few people find it worth while to turn out and vote, and thns turn over the election to a few politicians, There is no reason to think or hope that a new law would improve this state of affairs. The trouble is not with the law, but with the indifference of the people. Con ditions with the people of Nebraska are good, our people are prosperous and happy, and the less tinkering with present laws, the longer will present conditions continue.

Two rural mail mail carriers atBt Ed ward have thrown up their jobs after enough experience to prove to them that the Jobs are no soap, besides their being too email pay for the work requir ed. The St. Edward Advance aums up the prevailingaituation as follows. Bur almail carriers have come totheoon- L elusion that their jobs ate not snaps. Indeed they have held this opinion for sometime. Two of the present carriers from the St. Edward peetomee have handed in their resignation and have asked Uncle Samuel to relieve them of their duties and obligations to thede partment. Walter Thompson wis the first to conceive she idea that he could perhaps aid his bank account by work ing at some other job. Ed DeVore has followed suit and says he believes he can eke oat a living without holding down a government poritation. It is It is quite evident to any who have taken the trouble to give the matter thought, that the rural carriers do not receive just compensation for their work. Good reliable men should be employed to handle the mails and good men cannet be employed on a salary that will not measure up to what they can secure by working for themselves.

The Norfolk Daily .News pays tribute to the unfortun ate man as follows: "George Wantlin a brother of Mies Anna Wantlin and grandson of Mr. and Mrs.C. C Allbery of this place, was struck by a passenger train at West Point Wednesday forenoon and almost instantly killed. His back was broken in two places and an ugly hole waa made in the beck of hie head. He had run his freight train in on the side track to await the west bound passenger. In looking over his train he stepped out on the main linetrack just sa the passen ger pulled in, a heavy cap preventing him from hearing the warning. The body was taken to Norfolk Wednesday evening and from there brought to Battle Creek on the afternoon passenger today. Escorted by a 'delegation of B. of R. T. and Odd Fellows, the body was taken to the Allbery home on east Main street. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon and interment will be made at the Allbery cemetery southeast of Battle Creek, where the young maa'a mother is bnried. For a number of years George had been a frequent visitor in Battle Creek and: was a favorite with all ac quaintances. The Norfolk Daily News pays the following tribute: MNews of the distressing accident came to Norfolk railroad men and other persons acqaaint ed with George Wantlin as every se vere shook.

"If I ever get rich enough to present the city of New York with n mawr ment I am going to give n copy of one I saw In Germany this summer," said a man who travels. "That Is the most sensible thing in the statue line I ever saw. It Is a monument to potatoes. It Is certainly unique. The upper part consists of a statue to Sir Francis Drake, who Is revered for having In troduced the plant into Europe. This, us well as the pedestal, is draped with garlands of the potato vine, with the full grown tubers Intact On the ped estal are inscriptions. The first sets forth that the above figure ia Sir Francis; the second explains m words of highest praise what a blessing the potato has been to mankind; the third records that the statue is the gift of a certain Andrew Frederick, of Stras burg; the fourth contaias the names of the erectors. It strikes me that a monument to aome valuable product of nature Is much more appropriate than all the stone emgtes of celebrities that cluster our parka at the present time.
