The supreme court has made a deci
sion in the ease of the Union Paciic
railroad vs. the Treasurer of Lincoln
county. Nebraska, holding the right of
the stato to tax the nd bed; that taxa
tion within the limits of the state was a
soverign right belonging to a state.
Judge Bradley and Field submitted a
dissenting opinion. Judge Hunt des
sented. If all the reports are true we hear
about finding coal, Nebraska will before
long be fully supplied with this useful
article of f ueL We have the statement
bow that Meters. Kelley A Thompson,
well borers, discovered a vein of coal,
and brought samples of it with them to
Grand Island. The coal resembles the
coal of Rock Springs and samples of it
bave been sent forward to Omaha. It is
stated that the operators broke their
anger at the depti: of one hundred and
fourteen feet just after they struck coat
Numerous jlnns are being suggested
for a "flexible currency," or in our own
language, an India rubber currency.
Oar representatives should be careful
not to give the people such a flexible
currency that in the trial of a panic it
would stretch into a "mid cat" or any
other cat currency, and thereby elude
the grasp of the citizens. It our wise
men who have the authority to change
the present plan of our currency are so
much opposed to the nationid banks as
to have nothing mor to do with them,
then we beseech them to give the people
government treasury notes, the genuine
greenbacks.

faction, as far as bis work in this county
was concerned. He has been fair and
impartial in his decisions, courteous to

see him leave the bench. Judge Boeder
expects to re-enter the practice of law

At the present time things are ap ia the
