MB. EDWIN CURT.EY'S forthcom
ing book on Nebraska is destined to
be the most reliable and elaborate
work of the kind that lias yet pass
ed through the press.
THE Senatorial contest in Ver
mont was very brief. Judge Ed
munds , who by the way is one of
the ablest and most incorruptible
members of the United States Sen
ate , was re-elected by an almost
unanimous vote on the first ballot
COUNCIL BLUFFS has suffered a
serious loss by the destructive con
flagration that laid her only Crst-
class hotel , the Ogden House , In
ashes. While the existing relations
between Omaha and Council Blufls
are not of the most amicable nature ,
we can , nevertheless , assure the
people of that city that Omaha
elncrely and deeply sympathizes
with them in their bereavement.
WHILE we talk about the abuse of
the pardoning power , we might as
well state what is now universally
conceded , that Woodson , the Dem
ocratic Governor of lissouri , is en
titled to the belt as the ohampion
pardon giver of America.
Executive clemency seems to be
a ruling passion with this mercena
ry Bourbon , and there is now im
minent danger that the Jefferson-
Tillo prison will be entirely depop
ulated by the Umo Jus term expires.
Here for instance is Woodson's par
don record for Monday OctoberlOth :
Victor F. Monnier , of Green
county , convicted at the May term ,
1874 , of embezzlement , and sen
tenced to ttvoyeans' imprisonment ;
John Keeger , of fit , Lous , convicted
in Jiar.h , 1873 , of grand larceny ,
and sentenced for two years ; John
Smith and James Smith , of Cass
county , convicted of grand larceny
in July , 1872 , and sentenced to three
years' imprisonment each ; and Da
vid Drayton , ofKt , I ouis , convicted
in July , 1871 , of assauU with Intent
to kill , and sentenced to imprison-
mcnt for five years.

BBIOHAM'S COHDITIOir.
Our telegraphic ad vices fromMor-
mondom confirm former reports
touching Brlghaui Young's critical
condition , and his probable early
demise. Under the caption of Tom
Fitch's prophecy , the Salt Lake
Uribunc of the 17lh makes the following
:
lowing statement about Brigham's
mental and physical decrepitude :
'During his recent visit to this
city , Tom Fi ch called to see his for
mer client , Brigham Young ; and
before leaving for Nevada , related
to many acquaintances his last im
pressions of the situation at the Lion
,
House. Mr. Fitch asserts that the
Prophet has entered that mental
condition said to bo located between
idiocy and second childhood , and
pledges his honor on the promise
that within thirty days the head of j w
the Church will have passed beyond wor
the confines of mortality. Tom was
disappointed in finding his old ben
efactor leaning over the battlements
of life , cheerless , gloomy and full
of remorse , with no will to
to
lead , no faith in God or man , is i
but staring vacantly out toward the isn
mountains of jjittla Cottom\ood ; to

WHAT SHALL \72 D01
"What fchah Omaha do to secure
the trade and traffic to which hy
natural and commercial laws she is
entitled. What shall be done to ful
fil those oft repeated but unfulfilled
prophecies about the second Chicago
cage , tlie future "metropolis of
the Missouri val'ay. Shall
Omaha supinely , and stupidly
await manifest destiny to develop
her boasted natural resources , or
hall her people exert their faculties
and concentrate their energies in
that direction that promises the
speediest and most certain accom
plishment of their object. Omaha
has no doubt done much in thepast to
bhape and improve her commercial
resources , but it cannot be denied
that she has neglected much that
was of yital import. For instance ,
Omaha like any other city of her
pretensions , Is certainly entitled to
the trade and traffic ot the agricul
tural population within a radius of
forty or fifty miles. Like any other
city of her size and location Omaha
should be the chief marketing place
for the graiu and produce raised in
what might be called her immedi
ate neighborhood. This trade and
traffic could and should be a source
of great profit to her merchrnts and
a source of cheap living to
her mechanics and laborers. Noth
ing but the most stupid apathy and
want of enterprise prevents Omaha
from being the central market for
all the farmers of Douglas and Sar-
py counties and a large proportion
of the farmers of Saunders , Wash
ington , Dodge and Cass counties.
How ths ; ja to be accomplished ,
and what should be done to bring
about such desirable results is not a
difficult problem. Its solution lies
within easy grasp of our .merchants ,
capitalists and property owners , if
they have but the will to do their
plain duty. Omaha needs a com
modious market house , where the
producer and pen > imer can be
brought Into direct contact.
Omaha needs and should have
grain elevators and grain ware
houses , where the farmer may store
or sell his grain at full market prices.
True , we are repeatedly assured by
interested grain scalpers that grain
elevators will not pay , but we do not
propose to concede this until the ex *
pcriment has been fairly tried.
A few years ago It was thought
Omaha could not possibly sustain a
pork packing establishment In com
petition with other cities on the
Missouri river , To-d.ay there is not
a better paying institution than
Boyd's ' packing house
The advantage of markets and
grain elevators is not merely In
the amount of money disbursed
by these agenc'es ' but in the fact
that it concentrates tie ] farmers'
trade where it legitimately belongs.
Tills trade we regret to say has been
diverted to other points , anc } the in *
jury Inflicted upon our commerce
by reason of this neglect Is simply
incalculable.
ONE of the most Important ques
tions to bo , settled by the Constitu
tional Convention , which will as
semble next winter , is the limita
tion and restriction of the pardoning
power as vested in the Executive
Recent experience has furnished a
striking lesson of the dangerous
abuse of this power by a reckless , if
not mercenary Executive. In order
: o prevent the recurrence of such
abuses the people of Nebraska will
lave to provide constitutional safe
guards and barriers. Nobody can
now dispute that a very radical
change In the pardon system is im
peratively demanded , and the only
way to bring about such a salutary
J
reform , must bo through the new
constitution. a

A New Sort of Trades-Union. t
( From the Chicago Tribune. ) r
A number of plasterers In Brook ,
lyn have formed a trades-union on a
novel plan. Hitherto the combina
tions of workiugmeu have usually
been wrong in theory and worse In
practice.Tradesunions have stea
dily opposed piece-work. They have
insisted on an averaco wage , which
should be paid to everybody , good ,
had , or Indifferent. They have
placed undue restrictions upon ap
prenticeship , and have thus kept
many boys from learning useful
trader. They are responsible for a
number of foolish and disastrous
e
strikes. The members of the new
Association see and shun the&o evils , '
rhelr rules , although not perfect , are
ood. The men are divided by the
officers they elect into three classes. >
Phe basis of division is skill. Each
man receives a card bearing his
name and class. If ho is In the first fc
jlass , he Is to gut $3.50 a day ; In tlie
econd , $3 ; and In the third $2.50. 8Vi
Phis standard of wages is to last Vi
mtil October 1 , 1875. The classifi Vitj
cation , if it can be fairly doue , and tjCJ
f the men placed in the lower class- CJel
is do not revolt , will produce eld
jood results. An employer ir
ati tell bv a glnnce at a irIK
nan's card what kind of a worker IKai
ai
he applicant is. He can afford to
lo common jobs more cheaply , be-
saube he need not pay first-rate
s-ages for third-rate work. The
low Society pledges Itself to give
hreo months' notice of a demand )
iir Increased wages , and to discun-
enanco J > 11 strikes , "except where
n employer fails to pay his men for pr
a-vful time worked , or where the ai
ight-hour law Is about to bo In- lu

Tlie country down the valley , from
DeWitt presents one of the most
desirable farming localities in Ne
braska. It is generally high - above
the river , and forms a gradual slope
from the table lands to the river on
both sides. There is more timber
on the river here than above , espe
cially at the mouth of Turkey Creek.
About four miles farther do wn the
stream is the newly laid out town of
Caldwell. As yet there is only a
depot , grain warehouse , one resi
dence and one store. W. N. Rogers ,
the social proprietor of the latter ,
attends to the postollice , and is also
railroad agent.
Mr. Rogers being one of the early
settlers , had the choice of laud when
he came to the county ; his farm is
adjacent to the town sitenear which
he has two brothers , one of whom
has on his farm as good a mill
site as can be found on the stream.
The stream has a good rock bottom
tom , and Is very close to the rail
road. The owner proposes to do
nate to any one who will build a
good mill there , the mill site , with
five acres of ground. This stream
of water hes a supply of water suffi
cient for six run of burrs the year
round , and is but six miles from
Beatrice , and eight from De Witt.
Everything appears to be lively here
and business Is good. Very little
wheat is now brought to market , as
the prices are too low. lobsorve
many noted changes In business
firms , and much public and private
improvement since my last visit
here. Several good buildings have
been erected. Messrs. Qricgs , Webb
& Laoell , are about completing
their new stone block , on the corner
of Court and Fifth streets. The first
story Is to be occupied by their bank ,
N. K. Qrlggs' office and store rooms.
When completed U will be by fur
the best and most desirable building
in tlie city. Messrs. Hinkley &
Jackson have about completed their
new brick building , near the corner
of Fifth and Court streets , to be oc
cupied with their drug store.
W. P. ideas has recently built a
good , substantial frame building ,
on the corner of Third and Court
streets , which he occupies as a hotel ,
and one of the most central located
In the cty ( , Mr. Rpss , tljp gentje-
manly proprietor , Is a good man
ager , keeping everything in its place
and furnishing first-class faro at
second-class rates. He has a good
transient custom and his house usu
ally Is quite full.
The new Iron bridge is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possi
ble. Jt js to bo at the foot of Court
street , a short distance above tlje
mill dam. The span will be near
two hundred leet long. It will be
completed in November. When
finished it will add much to the ap
pearance of the city , and will bo a
great convenience to the citizens on
the west side.
The hotels are all well patronized
and appear to be prosperous. There
are lour the Pacific , Emory , Hess
and Grange Home.
There are three livery stables.
Mr. Ell Gross , formerly from Crete ,
has the largest in.the . town , with
good stock and good rigs. Charley
Emory , one of the early settlers , also
has a good stable , but not quite so
large. Messrs. Eugene Mack and
John Dunbarr keep a livery at the
Grange House.
The town Is steadily improving ,
and substantial buildings are con
stantly being erected. The church
es are numerous and well attended.
The schools are highly creditable to
the city , and largely attended.
Beatrice has one of the best stone
jails in the country. It now hasfive
inmates , two from Saline county ,
and one from Jefferson county ,
fruett , the murderer of B , 0. Whit-
akor , In Jefferson county , was
brought here for safe keeping , to u
remain until the May term of court , II
when ho will bo taken back to JefFerson u
Ferson county. He Is a very young t
looking man , appears rather uwka
ward and seems discontented Ho c
says there were three others con
nected with the murder , but as yet i
has given no names. The senti
ment Is very bitter to wards the mur-
lerer here , no sympathy whatever
jeing manifested In his favor. Cir- t
jumbtantial evidence points so di. .
eat to his action that it appears as
hough his doom was scaled for at i
