THE Grandlaland Times with praise
worthy enterprise has publtehod a re
view of the progress of the city dur
ing the put yoir. Nearly two hun
dred buildings have been erected ag
gregating over $200,000 in value , and
ouery department of trade shows ro-
mirkable activity. Grand Wand is
one of the cities of which Nebraska
nny well be proud and is reaping rith
fruit from the cnterpriea and public

TBE railroad managers and thtir
pay-roU editors have , within the lst
year , bsen forced to change their tr.c
tics towards their opponents. Twelve
months ago every individual who dared
rime nis voice
against
corporate aggrce-
a ii was a "communist and aocialiBt , "
waging war against capital and advc-
eating tbo confiscation and division of
accumulated wealth. Lately the tune
iiaa changad. Thinking paople could
not be hug gulled into believing that
euch merchants as F. B. Thurber , A.
A. Low , H. B. Claflin and
E. A. Oondic , such jurists as
Judge Jeremiah S. Black and
journals of the influence , respectabil
ity and weight of the New Turk
Ttma , Chicago Tribune and New
York Herald were
championing
a
cause which had for lit object tile
Biibrorslon of society , the ruin of
public and private enterprise and the
confiscation of property. According
ly the railroad cappers have pulled
out another stop in their organs and
are playing a lively tune of Demagogy. t
The public are informed that the op
ponents of corporate domination'aud
the champions of the people's
rights are pandering to
a de
praved constituency. They are
dubbed demagogues , seeking influence
through Ihe ruin of private onterprite ,
agitators endeavoring to build them-
tolvea upon the wreck of corporations ,
and cormorants who would
bring mie *
fortune and
disaster upon organized
capital only to food upon the remairs.
The railway magnates begin to see
ia the west the littla cloud

bigger than a man's hand , but which

Their tone is becoming apologetic.
We are informed that the corporations
hs-ve no desire to
meddle in politicsto
interfere in local matters , to capture
conventions or to twist legislation to
their own interest. Their
only re
quest , according to iheir pay roll
editors is permission to continue on
their course of "
"earning legitimsto
profits from their investment * , " "re
sisting encroachments on their vested
interests , " "to the extent of their
legitimate influence in the legisla

OUB FINANCES.
Compared with thoie of any foreign
power the finances of the United
States may well be a source of con
gratulation to our people. Within
the fifteen years from 1865 to 1880
the United States has reduced its na
tional debt ono-third. England and
the Netherlands are. the only Euro
pean countries who have made any
reduction In thtir debt * , and when
compared with our country the re
duction hcs been trifling. We present
two tables of figures taken from the
Ooniular reports lately publithed at
Washington by the state department.
The first table presents a succinct
statement of the national debts of the
various European countries in 18C5
and 1879 ( reduced to gold currency ) ,
and underneath the footings we have
placed tbo figures for the United
States for J8G5 and 1883 :

From this exhibit it will be seen
that the current expenses of the
European powers have baen increas
ing as fast as thoic debts. Thzq Is
hrgely due to their malntainance of
Urge atandiag armies on a war foot
ing. In the United States , in lB6b ,
the outlay for governmental expenses
was 8300,000,903 , and the expendi
tures for the last fiscal year were
§ 207,642.937 , a marked decrease , not
withstanding that during this period
our population has increased from 3f"v
020.000 io 50,000,000. This is an
exhibit of which Americans may jutt-
ly ho proud.
TUB croaking of p liticil hacks aid
marplots over the difficulties which
General Garfield may be expected to
-
ill-timed , and wo believe withoutany
basis of truth. No president elect
within the last
twenty years has en *
tered upon his term of office , under
such favorable auspiceo as will Gen
eral Garfield on the 4th of next
March. He has behind him the con-
fideuoa of his party and the good
wishes cf thousands of hia political
opponent ? . It ia doing a shameful in
justice to inen like Senatois
Gonkling , Logan and Camertn
to prophesy „ on their part
a policy of opposition. Their ser vice-
in the last campaign will certainly not
bo overlooked by General Garfield in
making up his cabinet , nnd no one of
the flo-cilled stalwart chiefs hcs so far
indicated any antagonism to the can
didate whom they aided so generously
in electing to the White House. We
bdlieve that Trith the inauguration of
General Garfield the terms ' 'stalwart'1
and "nnti-etalwart" will disappear
from the political dictionary swal
lowed up by the good old word re
publican. Gen. Garfield is noted for
hs sterling ECDSO and remarkable abil
ity as a conciliator
, and should any
aympioma of a coming storm appear
in the politic * ! horizon , we have no
doubt that the oil of peace would coon
be poured upon the troubled waters.

LixcoLy , December 25 , 1880. The
regents did some hard and efficient
workand adjourned at noon Thuraday.
They evinced good aenss and confi
dence in their chancellor by adopting
his recommendations , we believe , al
most entirely. They instructed their
executive committee to ask of the leg
islature the following over-aid above
the usual appropriations
: For a
chemical laboratory worthy the'namc ,
§ 25,000 ; for an Initiative medical de
partment , $7,000 per annum * ; for the
beginning of a law department , § 3.000
per annum ; to put the agricultural
-
fUQ.iwuiiuiui
farm on a better basis , § 10,000. The
memorial for the appointment of Gso.
W. Peck to the chemical denartnaent
was withdrawn , and from
among sev-
? ral other applications Prof. Alonzo
D 1 ins was chosen to the chair
; salary ,
51,800 ; services to begin at the April
erin , the cla s in chemistry being
ex-
rnsed from
experimental ttudies until
, hat time.
To meet the matter of the Lidirs'

lultured lady of Boston

ras very opportune , and places the

ught to occupy. Other appointments
rere made and changes ordered which
rill swell the next appropriations to

mount , but anything less would seem SIIt
} be suicidal.
Lieut. L T. Webster has infused oi
ich life and enegy in the military oiK <

jpressed in the title , aside from the tlri :
ilitary value in case of war , there ia qt
o bodily exercise , the order
, precis- le
n , the erect bearing ; these physical lem
linings are of great value to student ev

no mean amount of th

The matter of drainage and cisterns ob
was taken in hand and BuH ordered to
be begun agalnat Mr. Church and
sureties for nou fulfillment of con
tract. At this ecmi-tnnual meeting
of the regents it was a matter of con.
gratulation to mis" * ny thing like jara

the institution.
Long live the university of Nebras

of her future , and by that measure the

Some mistake- , typographical , crept

Its vails are a mesiic of rare woods

uovry vnTH THE RATES.
Lincoln Democrat.
There is a growing feeling among
all classes , regarrild33 of politics ,
against tha railroad companies of this
state , on account of tbair exorbitant
passenger rates , and the incoming leg
islature would deserve praise if its
members will pass laws regulating this
evil and extortion. The present rail
road war between eastern roads has
demonstrated the fact that the rail
road companies can afford , and make
a fair profit , to carry passengers at
even one-helf their old rates. We
cannot see where the railroad com
panies would IOBO anything if
their rates were reduced. They
would more t jnn make up the loss in
the largo increase of travel which
would naturally follow such a reduc
tion. But if the railroad kings can
not eee it in this light , our people ,
through their representatives in the
legislature , should tnke the matter in
hand and enact laws which will not
place travelers at the mercy of these
monstrous monopolies. Legislatures
of olhor states have done so , and Ke-
braska should not bo behind in the
matter. Our people demand that
something should bo done , and we
hope a bill to that effect will be intro
duced this winter.
rCjniTABLE FEEIOHT HATES.
Syracuse Journjt.
The people of Nebraska are not as
much concerned in the reduction of
passenger fare on the railroads of the
state as they are in the lowering by
statute of the freight tariff to a fixed
and equitable basis. It would seem
to The Syracuse Journal that the
manner in which the railroads are
conducting their business is ono dan
gerous to thu welfare of the state nnd
the nation. By partiality they often
destroy the trade of a town by
, . f/\l" IBMI . . _
( | / \ " nna M n
a rebate on grain and stock ,
thus driving other buyers from
the market or submittim ; io their
dictation in buying. Numerous in
stances might bo cited showing a par
tiality for certain business men and
towns to the detriment of other men
Biid places. There seems to bo no
powfir yet afforded by legislation in
this state to check such unjust die-
crimination. The national govern
ment may ba needed to give a
perfect protection by its stronger
arm , bnt let each state do
what .it can in thu meantime. The
farmers this full have been re
ceiving .comparatively fair prices for
produce nnd stock. The other dnv ,
true to their past record , a collection
ot railroad magnates , representing the
great lines of the country , decreed
that they should pay five per cent more
pur hundred for freight. Evidently
the ratlrrads desire to dictate to the
farmer the price he shall receive for
his grain and stock , nnd authoritative
ly meddle with the business of every
industry with which they come in con
tact.

THE FARMERS' CONVINTION.

The farmers of the state are pro
posing to hold a convention at Lin

trying to influence some healty rail

counties of the state to co-operate
with them by sending delegates from
all farmers' clubs. Wo will learn
more about this matter and lay it be
fore the people in duo time. It ia a
good mnvament , but its efforts are 'ia- '
ble to fall still-born upon a monopoly
