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

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

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

taused a heavy decline in the granger
t locks , from which they failed to rally

QUACKS AND THE LAW.
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.

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

men determined and able , and their
success will be a happy stroke of for
tune for all Northern Nebraska.
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. This section of our state Is gold
recommended to the favorable consid
eration of the thousands of emigrants
streaming westward , by ita fertile

LINCOLN , Decemcer 22.-The growth
of the capital city is marvelous.
Since the last legislature it has added
one-third to iU business buildings ;
even sine s your correspondent repor
ted the state convention , three months
ago , the city has developed wonder-
THE X. AND If. B. R.
As you approach the depot the new
found hoii-o meets your view , and the
capacious , palatial new depot looms up
in splendid proportions. This costly
building is yet unfinished ; the third
story , in Mansard stylet ' * nearly en
closed , if his dep t is to accommodate
the three lines entering and debouch
ing from this city and ran by the B.
& M. in Nebraska. The whole alkali
fiat is now a net-work of iron tracks ,
and nothing so well nhowa the devel
opment of railroad interests in the
state as the appearance of this fiat as
now compared with its nakedness even
in the Centennial year. Besides these
sir roads in and out of the capital , the
U.P. . has , within' the year , built a
connection with her road via Talpi-
raiso. 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.
There is a rumor that the Richards
block is to be raised a story higher

five rooms. It is somewhat , eviden'

Lincoln , besides being the capital of
Nebraska , and ontnumbering already
