I * . TFTR DAILY BE E. EO3EWATEB : EDITOR C05GRESS has adjourned for the holldayi. Tnr Republican announces that it has alwpys been in favor of the sup pression qf the gambling hells. The Republican is "too subsequently. " CHUBCHHOWE is said to bs making a still hunt for the gpeakenhlp. The member of tha legislature who prom ises to past his vote for the renegade will dig hi political grave among his constituents. WADE HAMPTON as an element in politics has been sunk out of sight. The last pound was that challenge to John Sherman. No man over chal lenged Secretary Sherman politically and lived. JAY GOULD by his latest purchase has made himself master of the rail road system of the southwest , and will hold hia grip on the stocks of those railroads only long enough to enable hi 01 to clear. PAD'S postmaster editors are with out exception enthusiastic for his re election to the senate. This is not surprising nor is it a matter for sur prise that few else are at heart for Algernon Sydney. EUROPEAN international affairs hare excited little attention during the two weeks the all-ab- past , owing to - - e rbing interest taken in the Irish question. The boundary dispute be tween Greece and Turkey is , however , still open with little prospect of peace ful settlement. The claims of Greece , if conceded by the Sublime Forte , would lose to 'the Sultan's dominions a portion of the principality of Thrace , which furnishes a largo amount of taxes to the depleted treasury of the Turk , and on this account will not be given up without a severe struggle. Tne only hope for Greece lies Jn the good offices of the great powers and the pressure which it la hoped they may bo Induced to bring upon Turkey to compel peaceful ces sion of the disputed territory. From present Indications , however , neither England. Germany nor France care to involve themselves in another Dul- cigno dispute" . Mr. Gladstone's ministry , much as they may be in clined to take up the quarrel of King George , have their hands full at home and Germany and Franca have an nounced , for the present at least , a policy of virtual non-intervention. Greece will hardly bo foolish enough to open hostilities with her little army against the Turkish forces and the probability is that affairs will remain for some time to come in their present unsettled and unsatisfactory condi tion. TUB concert with which railroad managers are advocating the consoli dation of competing lines and warring systems Is not at all surprising. The result of the great consolidations which have been in progress during the past year shows that such a system it of great advantage to the railroads and to the railroads alone. One year ago the Kansas Pacific and Central Pacific roads wera united under one management. At that time Union Pacific stock was at 70 and Kansas Pa cific stock at 36. To-day the stock of the consolidated roads is quoted at 109. This enormous increase in the val- ni of fictitious capital has accrued en tirely to the benefit of the stockhold er ! of the said roads , while freight and passenger rates have been stiffly maintained. There has been no competition , and therefore no incentive to a liberal policy on the part of the management wards tha people. The knowledge V * C5 hownver extortionate , could bettr _ . . . . . . , < with Impunity it 3 upon the J producing ol * f , . . , -.has given a eonse of security to inveovC. * raised the market value of the stocks. The Increasing traffic of the roads , and the extortionate tolls wrung from the farmers and shippers of the country have enabled the cor porations to pay dividends on stocks watered to six and eight times their value. In the absence of competitors , and In the belief that the corrupting power of money will bo ample to pre vent ny adverse legislation In con- RTCM and the states , the railroad kings are counting up their probable gains for the future , and pointing to the rise in the stocks of consolidated I roids SB an argument for the extension Of the oantolidation plan thrju huut the country. < The basis on which the rapid ad vance in the securities of such roads rest * , may be readily seen from the fact that the mere publication of Judge Black's letter on the railroads taused a heavy decline in the granger t locks , from which they failed to rally far a number of days. It would be - perfectly safe for any one to bet on the success of a three-card monte man if io were certain that the law would not steplnand arrest his innocent little game.lt would be equallysafo to invest In the watered stocks of railroad sys tems if it were certain that an out- rr.god and plundered people would not demand ihe interference of the law against their plunderers.

Tie coming legislature will be caked to pass a law regulating the practice of medicine in this state. Such a law should long sluca have been upon our statute books SB a nocetsary measuio of protection to the lives of the pee ple. Colorado is waking up in this mitter , and the Leadviile Chronicle hits the nail on the head when it say * : "Every man ignorant of medicine who dares to prescribe for disease should ba held to the penalty of man- slaughter for every person' who dies under his treatment. In no profession are skill and know ledge so requisite as in the medical. A stupid minister can only put us to eleep-or bore us or drive ns away from church. An incapable lawyer can only bee our money for QB or send us to the penitentiary. JBnt the ignorant physi cian will , with half a chance , send us to the grave or deprive us of friends. The legislature of course cannot justly or con sistently discrimlnatebetween different schools of practice. It cannot decree that the medical practitioner shall have inborn fitness for 'he profession ; cannot order that he shall possess the quickness , accuracy and nicety of phy sical perception , that instantaneously detects and surely recognizes symp toms , and cannot prescribe that he shall have that delicacy of touch that sure tells of the height of a fever and of the degree of every manner of dis- oiae. Bat the legislaturecanenactthat every man who assumes to practice medicine , whether he be allopathic , homeopathic , eclectic , botanic , or m g- nstic , shall have a thorough knowl edge of anatomy and of materia mcJiccl , that ho shall know of what the human body is composed , and be familiar with the effects upon the system of most material substances , from prucsic acid to paregoric. It can properly order that the men who do not know the jugular vein from the car jugger naut , who cannot distinguish the flush of fever from a bobtail flash , and who cannot tell prussic acid from Prussian blue , shall stop practicing medicine. If the legislature does not do this much , it will bo wickedly rec reant to its duty. No more trifling with the lives of the people should bo permitted. " THE Denver Republican , always an admirably edited paper , has appeared I in a new dress and in eight page form , and is now the peer of any western paper. The Republican is outspoken , fearless and independent , the tool of no party clique and the enemy to frauds and corruption wherever found. It is doing good work in exposing the crushing power of the Union Pacific ia its Denver dealings , and deserves credit for placing itself on the side of f the people. TEE BEE congratulates the Republican on its now depasture , and wishes it the full measure of suc cess which its enterprise so well de serves. THE scene in the house of repre sentatives on Tuesday was disgraceful I in the extreme. The only cause for regret is that the congressmen inter fered with the sanguinary Weaver aad Sparks baforo they had perman ently disabled each other for any fu ture legislative wrangling. Tne Lawyers and the Railroads. KtwTotkTlmc * . The opinion of Mr. George Ticknor Curtis on the legal relation of railroads to the state has been obtained by the Erie railway company in the form of an answer to the recent letter of Judge Black to a committee of the chamber of commerce oi this city. The positions taken by these twoemi , nent lawyers , one as the paid counsel of the railway interest , the other as the voluntary advocate of the rights of the people , illustrate the extremes of a controversy which must end cither in the control by the state of those agencies of commerce which ex ist by its creation , and exercise fran chises which it has granted , or in tVo surrender of the whole public to th& I aicrcy of a vast combination of corporations - \ porations responsible to no authority | I but the will of their managers. Black took the ground that railroads are pub lic highways belonging to the state , t -tid operated by corportions chartered it for the purpose , and therefore subject to the regulation * control of tha state so far > n n'nds it for the inter est of tne people to regulate and con trol them. Though the companies , aided by the state's right of eminent domain , acquires the necessary land from private owners , and pay for it , construct and equip the roads at their own expense , andoperate them by the uio of their own capital , they do all 'his through a frrachise granted by tbo state , and have no absolute prop erty in the highways they are author ized to build end to use in their busi- of transportation. They act throughout as agenta of the state , which may at any time resume posses sion of its own , havingdue rezariLta. - tuo'etjuines invoiveaTor whTcn may * xert superior authority to compel a conduct of the business in the hands of the companies with proper regard For the public interests. This , wo y , is an extreme position , and , not withstanding Judce Black's citation of authorities , it can hardly be regarded is established by final adjudication. Mr. Curtis takes the other extreme. Ho not only treats the corporations as -ibsolute owners of the railroads In the same sense as a manufacturer owns his mill or a farmer his land , but he takes tha ground that their charters constitute a contract with the state which it cannot violate without - to out running against one of the leading orohibitions of the Federal constitu tion. If he stopped hero lib doc trine could not be regarded as at all startling , however much it might be luestioned. But-ho goes on to main tain that unless it is otherwise sped .iod In the charter itself , or unless the sute has. explicitly reserved to itself l s constitution the right to repeal modify It , this inviolable contract iives the companies the right to make whatever charges they may see for their service , and to and vary them at wilL According this doctrine they are under veal obligation to regard any public this right or Interest. They are simply carrying on a private business ot their and dealing with their customers whatever way they may find most , , ua expedient or profitable to thomselros. 1 cat may make any kind of a baravi , grant any sort of discrimlna- { or favor , and exercise over the aui : business of the people all the power per involved in a virtual monopoly of rec transportation without other restraint era their own self-interest may Im etr . In short , the state , in granting acres franchise for building and operating coal railroad , brings into being a power us whose mercy ita citizens are sub uswe ! , and hu left to itself no author- ity to regulate or control it forjjtheir protection. This doctrine is simply monstrous , and therefore we submit that it cannot be pablic law in any civilized country. But If we appeal from the lawyers to the courts , wo may perhaps be able to ascertain what the true principle is underlying the relation of railroads to the state. The supreme court of the United States has had occasion to define 13fi fine this in what are known as the "Granger cases. " It has neither held that railroads are public highways owned by the states within which they lie nor that their corporate owners carry on a purely private business with which the state has by contract ! precluded J itself from interfering. Chief-Justice Waite , in rendering the decision of the court , laid it down as a principle of the common law that "wlnn private property Is affected with a public interest it ceases to be juris pnvati only1 Property does become clothed with a public interest "when used in a manner to make it of public consequence and affect the community at large. " He goes bn to say that when property is devoted tea a USD ib which the public is interest ed the public acquires a right to con trol it for the common good to the extent of its interest. He shows that this right extends to the regulation of charges for the use of the property. Eren at common law these must be reasonable , but the legislatu rq rnay define what is reasonable , and u- late Hie use of the property in any way that may be for the common good. The result of the whole reason ing of the Chief-Justice Is the conclu sion that railroad companies are com mon carriers , using in their business property to which a public interest attaches , and giving the right of pub lic control to the extent of that inter est. If railroad charters are contracts with tha corporations they certamly do not divest the state and the public of any of the rights and powers inher * ent in them according to established principles of law , unless these are surrendered in express terms , and there may bo doubt as to whether a legislature can surrender them at all. But to claim that they are surrendered unless expressly reserved is in the highest degree absurd. HIDDEN WEALTH. Northern Nebraska's Pros pects for a Hom& Coal Supply , A Vein Four and a Half Feet Thick Found at Ponca. Corresandcnce ot TBB Bsz. POKOA , Dixon Co. , Neb. , December 20. Nebraska's resources have often been spoken of as limited to her pas toral and agricultural wealth. And that the development of these latent forces would constitute her full power as a productive factor , has lorg been believed , not by strangers alone , but also by a large majority of those resi dent the state. The spellhowever , Is now broken , and portions of the state will not long hence be insepara bly associated in our minds with coal mines and the bkck fumea ascending from coke ovens. Several years ago Prof. Aughey , now of the university at Lincoln , was a resident of Dakota City , this state , and was engaged in the real estate business. He was a great lovoc of geological roionrch , and spent some time in acquiring amlnute knowledge of the strata , their extent , dip and composition. He stated as a result of this investigation , that coal would be found in this part of the state. Subaequeiit'y ' he was called tea a chair in the university and couldnot superintend thu matter in person. Firmly impressed iritn the correctness of this opinion , he induced T. J. Welty , of Dixon county , to bore for coal. About a year ago they found a vein of coal three hundred feet below the surface , that was sixteen inches in thickness. This coal was of an in ferior quality , and procur.ng It was accompanied with the difficulty of removing so much slate that there would be no money in developing such a mine. They bored deeper in another place and found at a depth of 674 feet , a vein four and one- half feet ' thick , of good qual- ity , coal'which Prof. Aughey pro- nounces a better coal than that found at Fort Dodge or Des Moines , Iowa. The first coal found in the vicinity crops ' out at the bottom of the Mis- I' sour ! bluff and resemble ! very much that < found in the bluffs of various other < counties bordering on the river , fcaoh successive discovery haa im- pr ved the quality of the coal , and wor\ing under Prof. Aughey'a advice they \re going to sink the present hole one hundred feet deeper with the hope of still b tter coal in a vein six feet thick. At a depth of 620 feet the workmen have encountered a hard quartz rock , which under the micros cope shows little yellovr specka of something very much resemblinp flour duet gold. It is pronounced gold by those who have examined it , but is not regarded with sufficient degree of promise to allure them from the search after coal. Prof. Aughey does not tell them that they will find anthra cite coal , but that It will bo a harder and better quality of bituminous coal. A stock company , known as the Pen ca Coal company , has been organized to prosecute the coal search with -TJgQr.

In Dakota county , about seven miles southwest from Dakota City-a bed of some form of mica has been found. The bed crops out at the foot of the bluff , Is four feet thick , and has been traced 100 feet along the line of the bluff. Its real extent has not been ascertained. The question agitating the vicinity is , can it be of value. The specimens shown me are of two dis tinct varieties. One Ia schistose In structure , and scales off in very small pieces , being quite brittle. Exposure the weather may have caused brit- tleness. I am told that leaves ten inches square have been procured. The other form is columnar In structure , the columns having oblique bases , vertical clearage , and are divided into section * by transverse seams parallel with the bases. It is perfectly trans parent , but the exposed partis coated over with a lime substance which is easily scaled off. By heating , it gradually loses its transparency , and turns into a very fine white powder , resembling chalk In appearance taste. Some beneficent mineral ogist or other scientific man may re of some valuable purpose to which by mineral may be used. Northeastern Nebraska is also the to home of many successful farmers , who besides raisingjcorn and wheat , keep many droves of hogs and herds of cattle and some flocks of sheep. The average corn field this year yields be tween < fifty and sixty bushels per acre , wheat averages eighteen bushels acre.

Lincoln is not becoming , but has already become a railroad centre. THH "JOURNAL" Btoce.J Passing up O street to the govern ment square , your eye glances from the lofty , rugged poitofHce building to the massive Journal block just across the square. This building has reached to Ita third story , and ii evidently to be the printing and publishing house ot the west. I believe there is noth ing equal to it west of Chicago. HOTELS. First in sight is the Arlington. Crowning the gentle eminence , its light color sets off its four stories to great advantage. This ample house was opeued this summer , but so great was the demand upon it that immedi ately large additions were made to it. The Metropolitan still holds its own on West O street , and the old Tlch- enor , of questiona'.le fame , has been entirely overhauled and changed from a rat palace to the graceful Occident al. This house is not opened yet , but being uear the capitol it will be , and must draw & large patronage. Saying nothing of the lesser hotels which dot the city , there is the old Commercial , which is fast getting the name Im- hoffs as the great Baltimore house wat known from Atlantic to Pacific as Barnnm's. I said old Commercial , and speak advisedly , for was it not opened in 1876 ? That is old for Lin coln. The changes made in the Com mercial this season are so great , and the additions are so extensive , that its former mother wouldn't know it. The building has been extended in length 32 feet to the alley , and gives twenty - four additional rooms for guests and four stores on the pave ment. The addition corresponds with the original building and the whole presents a splendid block ; The dining-rooms are entirely over-hauled and greatly enriched in panel by mosaic work in every kind of orna mental work. The variety and orna mentation are so extensive that you wonder whether the work le real or artificial ; but you finally accept the challenge thnt It is all genuine , and you are not sold. The dining-room proper is for the table dt hots , and front of it ia the same style is a res taurant on the European plan ; at a reasonable price you gst any thing you want of the best , and pay accordingly. Next to the restaurant is a first-class barber shop and bathing rooms. The Commercial is king probably in one respect. Hither the tribes go every time the friends of Uncle Sam , called politicians , meet in party con clave to confer upon the good of the state and nation and their on. Mingle with the groups walking and talking at such a time , and , except for the weed and iU oozing expector ant , you might think of "Old Athens" and the porches where the peripatetics walked and discussed questions of politics and philosophy , or sought out some new thing. Im- hofFs dining-room is besides its panels and frescoed ceilings greatly beauti fied by various appropriate paintings. STILL AUOTHEB.
