THE DAILY BEE. E. BOSEWATEB ; EDITOR- SENATOB BLIDTE Is the only happy man of all the aspirants for cabinet positions. _ THE prohibition in which the railroad interested is road cappers are mo t the prohibition of anti monopoly kg- islation. THE Republican intimates that Sen ator Howe never dries up. This U a very good compliment to Mr. Howe's depth. BABONESJ BCBDBTT Courrs Is at list married to young Bartlett , and both are singing 4'Cupid laughs at hindrances. " THE Pennsylvania legislative moun tain is etill in labor , and the general impression Is that they will bring forth a senatorial mole. THE railroads , the , telegraph com pvniei and the monopoly organs are linked together by ono tender-bond of interest the pocket of the dear public. REPOBTS from the cattle ranges west indicate that the lest storm has done more damage to the stock Interests than all the preceding ones combined. THE apportionment bill framed in the interest" southern politicians will not pass at the present session , and Sunset Cox and Bill Springer are about the most unhappy men in congress. THOSE parties who believe that General Garfield'a administration will be hampered by disaffection in the re publican party at It's outset , will find themselves seriously mistaken. THE governor of Connecticut re- oeives a salary of only $2.000 per an num , and the newspapers of the state are cow agitating the subject of an in crease. THE Canadians propose to engage in the colony business on a scale of offi- d l magnitude. Manitoba is to be the objective poini of the colonization scheme , and Ireland is the territory to be drawn upon for subjects. TUB Chicago Tribune lets the public Into two secrets ; first , that General Garfield will not announce his cabinet until the close of the present month , and , second , that his inaugural ad dress , although not written , will be short. ENGLAND has not won much glory In tn Afghan war , but she has spent a great deal of money. The Afghan war expenses rise from the aitimatea like arrears of pensions appropriations It was to cost $15,009,000 , but already $85,000,000 have been expended and the bill is not paid , nor the > scientific frontier tstablithrd. bus ( Ttiiemied the Mon roe ductnne , which in plam Unguage is that the United States cannot per mit a foreign nrtiou to obtain a foot hold upon the American continent. In the meantime Ferdinand de Las epe ask * , "What are you going to do about H ? " IT is stated that nearly 1,000,000 tons of iron ore will be shipped from Canada to Pennsylvania this year. The greater portion of this will be for railroad iron. Capital doesn't seem 4.0 be very much frightened over the prospect of anti-monopoly legislation which they know l snre to come. THE Heraldry * that capital shrinks from that soecies of Isroeny which confiscates public property for private peculation. Thu is exactly what the monopolies are doing with the prop erty of the producers .of Nebraska , and if capital has f o suddenly exper ienced "a change of heart the people will be gUd to know nf the fact. THE presence of the Prince of Wales at the marriage of Mr. Leopold Rothschild has caused much satis faction in Jewish circles , as , following close on the speeches of tne Crown Prince of Germany , It is regarded as a sign that there is no royal sympathy with the persecutions of the Jews. No English prince has visited a synagogue since 1809 , when three of the royal dukes attended a service at once. JTflfi rilrod attorneys at Lincoln profess themselves amazed at the proposition to asiess the earnings of the railroads independent of the real estate and personal property which are taxed locally. Taey are attempt ing to persuade oar legislators that such a bill would bo a cruel and com munistic raid on crpltal unauthorized by precedent and contrary to justice. Now the fact of the matter is that Ne braska is one of a few states who hsve not yet imposed such a tax on the earnings of railroads. Sac. 1213 of the laws of Wisconsin relating to riU I road corporations reads as follows : SEC. 1213. The annual license fees In for the operation of such railroads shall be ns follows : 1. Four per centum of the gross earnings of all railroads , except those operated on pile and pontoon , or pontoon teen bridge * , whose gross earnings equal or exceed three thousand dol- Jtrs per mile per annum of operated rtilroad. el 2. Five dollars per mile of operated eldi railroad of all railroads whose gross di parsings exceed one thousand five diU hundred dollars per mile ver annum , U and are less than three thousand del lars per mile per annum of operated fn road , and in addition two per centum of their gross earnings in excess of fif teen hundred dollars * e per mile per an num. 3. Five dollars per mile of operated oe _ _ road by all cnmp nie whose gros earning * are less i h nSftem hundred hai dollars per mile per annum. 4. Two centum of per the gross ed earnincs of all railroads which are operated opin pile and pontoon , or "P pontoon bridge * , which gross earnings ( hall be returned as to such parts ra1wt thanof M an within the state. wt One half of such license fee shall beoaid at the time the licenu to ra IMJM , and one half on or before the the ttfith day of August in each year. | JENSEN'S BILL THE BEE publishes to day in ful Mr. Jensen's bill to regulate freigh and passenger transportation in Ne- braaka. It is decidedly the most care fully drawn , comprehensive and satis factory measure which has yet neen presented for yubllc approval. The first section provides rgains discrimination in charges to shippers ana receivers , and forbids the grant ing of rebates , drawbacks or sny other compensation or remuneration on rc- oouut of shipments. This provision strikes at the root of one of the most serious outrages practice d by the mo nopolies against our i reducers. Section 2 provides that tvery rail road corporation in the state shal provide cars and suitable facilities for shipping , handling and receiving freight at every station on the road , and section 4 , that a fixed and deter mined schedule rate of tariffs shall be publicly posted in every freight aud passenger office on the various roads , which schedule and classification shall not be changed excepting upon ninety days' public notice. Under a rigid enforcement of this enactment , the various rings of coal , grain and lum ber dealers , favored by the corpora tions , would bo broken up , and every shipper of freight would be. placed on equal terms , while the ruinous effects on trade , caused by fluctuating rates on freight , wonH ba entirely obvi ated. ated.Sections Sections 5 , 6 and V relate to the tariff rates which , under the provisions of this act , the company may charge upon the various classes of freight of fered them for transportation. Under the provisions of section 8 the pas senger tariff is fixed at three cents a mile on first class trains , and two cents per mile on second class or mixed trains. This sum is no lower than is charged for the same class of service In Iowa and is ample remuneration for the service. The penalty for each and every violation of any or tl 9 provisions ol this act is a fine not less than ten nor more than one hundsed dollars , or Im prisonment in the county jail , and all acts in conflict are to ba repealed on its passsge. This paper sincerely hopes that the legislature will not permit iUelf to be drawn aside by the tactics of the rail road attorneys from the favorable con sideration of Mr. Jensen's bill. It meets the great question of the hour more fully and more satisfactorily than any-of the many propositions now before that body. It is framed in the interest of Nebraska producer ? which the railroad companies declare is their own interesf , and if it fails ol passsga the people will know at whose door to lay the fault. "PBO BOKO PPELICO , " whose real name is E. F. Test , poblhhed a long communication in the Lincoln Journal advocating a boardof immigration and the { expenditure of a large appropria tion to defray the expenses of such a commission. He B causes THE BEE cf Inconsistency in advocating nerepaper advcrtisirg and refusing to applana the board scheme. Nowif there is one thing for which THE BKE his obtained credit it hag bsen for its consistency. This paper since its foundation has never crawfished upon a single subject and we defy ' 'Pro Bono Publico , " or any other man to point out an instance where THE BEE hat gone back on its record on any question or any issue. We have found out from our own ex perience that newspaper advertising , or , as we staled in a late editorial , "the liberal use of printer's ink" will do more for the cause of immigration than twenty beards of emigrant cum miwioner * . When in reply to 50,000 Immigration copies of THE BEE , over 15,000 replies were received , we have good reason to point to the showing as unexampled in the history of newt paper advertising. THE BEE has no axe to grind in * this matter. It has shown our legislature what it considers the best and cheapesi method of calling attention to tbe resources of this state as a field for immigration. They must be the judges of Its value. PABNKLL refuses to leave his post of duty and come to America in the present criris. He believes he can beh of more value at home than abroad. jj This is not cheering news to Mr. Foister and the British ministry who find it much easier to attack a man behind - b hind bis back than to answer his Ergo- ments face to face. T. B. SWAIN , a member of the Maine house of representatives , is accused of carrying on a system of swindling tbrougVH.ho mails , and an investlgattngjcomtnittee has been ap pointed to consider his case. Swain hai been a fusion leader in Maine , and was last year a prominent candi date for con regiion * ! n min tion. CONGRESS is still battling with billr , and night sessions have been decided on until the close of the session. The country has never had a more worth- * * * or unprofitable body of national legislators than the present congress. the ten weeks of their present ses sion they have talked more and done less than any of vhcir predecessors. BLACK HILLS NUGGETS. Deadwood has organized a board trade. Hill City and Sheridan are rather & dull this season. The Washington mine near Custer , showing up welL Snow , four feet in depth is reported From Strawberry gulch The Black Hills Medical Society is seeking incorporation. Bipid City's school warrants are selling : at 72 cents on the dollar. H An accident in the Bidger mine an closed the shaft for the present. - On A new 200 stMnp mill will be erect she below tbe DoSmet mine in the ei spring. be > Up to the 4th there had not "been a * _ _ _ . . railroad train into Pierre for thxve weeks. Newt of B. 0. Adams' pardon was ' [ received by telegraph in Deadwood on ut 3rd. wai U. Six torkie * weighing nine-six pounds ware sold in Deadwood the other day for $32.26. The Homestake company's clean-up on the 1st , after a two weeks' run , amounted to 8225,000. Unusually good prospects are re ported from the Arcadia and Emma mines , on the North Fork. The Terror mine , near Custer , has a shaft dowa 75 fet , and it is pros pecting way up. Tne ore body is ex tensive. The silver vein recently discovered near -eridan is about thirty feet wide , aud entirely free from base met als. The county treasurer of Lawrence county colleced $20,000 of the de linquent taxes during the week end ing on the 5th. A party of hunters brought into Dtwdwood , on the 3rd , three live mountain lions , which were captured near Hale's ranch. The new saw and claming mill , sash and door factory , which is expected to soon be built near Rockerville , is already en the road. TheDeSmet mine cleaned upon the 1st , and the clean-up ia said to bo tbe biggest ever made , though the figures have not been given yet. Placer miners throughout the Hills are exuberant over prospects of plenty of water in spring , and a great deal of dust will undoubtedly be taken out. In the valleys of the Belle Fourche , Spoarfiah and Falsebottom , .during the late storm , the snow fell to the depth of about fifteen inches. It is stated by The Deadwood Times that Lawrence county is increasing in population and wealth more rapidly than tny other county in the terri tory. tory.The The Homestake company begins 1881 with their twenty-ninth dividend of thirty cents per share , aggregating 830,000. Total of twenty-nine divi dends , $870,000. Jim Fowler , of Ouster , augered at the refusal of a freighter , named Burns to drink with him shot him dead. r Tnat night he wa * taken from jail and lynched by an infuriated mob. mob.A A stock compiny renreenting a capital stock of 815,000 , has been formed at Crook City for the purpose of erecting a flouring mill. The mill Pb to have five run of burn propelled by steam power. Since the establishment of the tele- phone exchange between Deadwood and Central City the receipts of the various hackmon have fallen off at the rate of twenty-five dollars per day. The ranchmen are making prepara tions to put in a far largei acreage this spring than they did last year. There is demand enough for whatever they can raice , and nothing else offers so certain a return. The Pioneer says that Frease & Gregory , the c ttle msn of the Chey enne riyer , bive lost out of their herd of 4,500 a vary large proportion , and < he last storm will undoubtedly cause an increased death rate. The telegraph office at Lead has been discoutinuod and business by elegraph wJth the outside world will be done via. the telephone exchange and Deadwood or by Central City when there is trouble on the lines. The physician of the DeSmet mine drew $240 at the last pay day for med ical attendance during the month of January , under a contract in which each miner who earns $20 per month poys to the physician $1. Dividends to the ntnountof $1,000- 000 trera paid in 1880 from the go d belt mines DOW managed and super intended by Samuel McMaster. This vast sum of money was taken from mines within a radius of two miles from the Herald office at Central Olty. The Deadwood-Terra mining com pany have declared the second of the series of dividends since the consolt- lation , one of twenty-five cents a share , aggrcgitlng $50,000 making the total of dividends which the two properties have piid to date $450,000.

Mobile ( AU. ) Register. A few days ago an article clipped from , a Washington paper appeared in The Register , giving a description of Senator Dennis * terrapin farm in Maryland. As we have something of the ] sort to boast of in the neighbor hood j of Mobile , it may not bs amiss to , give our readers a description of Mr. Mnlford Dorlon'a great terrapin farm at Oedar Point. This projection of land is on the western shore of Mobile bay , about thirty miles below this olty , and is inhabit ed principally by oystermen , who reap golden harvests from the many bbds which furnish nearly every oyitor brougnt to the port of Mobile. Mr. Dorinn , who keeps a store at this point , hs abont three acres fenced ic , with strong pilings. Leading to this enclosure are two canals , -one on the bay side and one on the gnlf side , whlh supply with salt water a number of ditches ten feet wide and 100 feet long ] ( The sand accumulating from theexcavation ofthcseditches is thrown on each side , and used by the ter rapins ; to sun themselves and Ity their eggs in , which , if counted , would go up in the million ? , and can be raked usi uu by the bushel. In the winter season the terrapins remain Imbedded in ! the mud of the ditches , where they stay until spring time , never touching Sisi morsel of food. A system of sluices enables Mr. Dirlon to keep the ditches full of silt water , and drain them at pleasure , and he is not at all dependant on the tide for that purpose. The number of terrapins on the farm , as far as can be ascertained and ' ny the closest calculation , is between 20,000 and 25,000 , and in the cnnrao of the next three or four years will be 0B something ( bird to calculate. Aboat May 1 , Mr. Dorlon makes his purchase of terrapins from the country people on Mississippi snnnd , and tikes all he can secure at $2 a dozen , and thit generally averages 8,000 a year added to his farm , outside of those bred therein. The Inhabitants of Mia issip- pi and Alabama hunts the terrapins with dogs trained for that purpose. The dog barks when he finds one , and the hunter immediately secures it by goin ; to the spot where the dog points. The coat of feeding the terracing , which , aa we have said , la only done in the summer , is abont $1 per dozen for the seison , and the price per dozen in New York has varied from $18 to S8. The food , which consists of crabs and fish , is caught with a seine , in front of the farm , and really very litllo ex pense is attached to the raising of. these valuable land tortoises. Jklr. Djrlon begins to ship abont Oc'oher 1st , and then on to about May 10th. He generally sends his to Sav-nnah by rail , and thence to New York by steamer | , averoeing about 12,000 a sea son , and had it not been for a disas trous hurricane , which some time ago washed out Mr. Dorlon's farm , it would be to-day one of the grea' est terrapin ( farms in the world. He can ship all he can get , for there is a ready market f"r theo drlicacioa.
