GENERAL GAEFIELD'S journey to "Washington trill be memorable for a series of the most remarkable ovations from the people and the happiest and timeliest epeech.ee from the president elect , which have ever occurred in the political history of our country. MR MoSsAKE hat made a record at Lincoln , of which he nny well b * proul. O.naha tax-puyera should re member his able plea for a law taxing the property of railroad corportions on the aamo basis as that on which the property of individuals is taxed. SENATOR OOKKUKQ'S days of anta gonism to a republican administration are nearly ended. Senator Oonkling is too able and powerful a republican to fight outside of the strict party lines and before two weeks will be once more in his old and honored place. JEESEY , &ftor a trial of about twenty years is about to repeal her lair exempting railroad property from local taxation. Nebraska has refused . * to profit from the example of other states and permits a law to remain on her statute books which is A ditgraco to the state. MB JACKSON , of Douglas county , explained his vote , depriving Omaha of her legitimate taxes from the rail road corporations , on the ground that he wanted to do justice to his rurel f rieads. Mr. Jackson's rural friends are particularly green ( f they can't see through the buncombe of this rail road cappor. THE constituents of Mr. Brown , of Boone county , fully realize the dirty pvrt played by this monopoly tool ! n the U'te legislature. In reading Mr. Brown out of their confidence , the farmers ot Boone county have set a worthy example which may well be followed in number of other cases. THE terrible disaster to Gen.

American enterprise refuses to con fine its energies to the United States. ed It has already reached out to England and the continent , and is pushing its to WAJiuto the colonies on the South no A'ricau coast and the ishads , of Aus'nUsla. It is singular that hith or erto the great and wealthy rrpubllc of Mexico hag been neglected by onr energetic manufacturers. Just at present the development of our trade of with Mexico and Oantr l and South Amarloi is attracting much attention but in Washington and ITe * York , and steps are now contemplated to pro. mold oljsar coainmoial relations be tween them and tfie United States. Last year the United States export- ai $33,190,993 of goods into these countries while oar imports amounted tobut $76,201,494 Tneb&lanceoftrade against as wa < therefore $46,010,496. It is difihu.lt to tea why suoh a state of of affairs should exist. Toe Mexican &nd Central American republics are per bound to us by the'closest ties of geographical graphical position. They possess within their boundaries inexhaustible resources of mineral and agricultural wealth as yet undeveloped and which require for their proper development American capital , American enter lish prise and American manufactures. Mexiio is stretching out bar hands to our capitalists for aid in building up a republic which in wealth and pop ulation will only be second to onr own. She possesses the richest mining dis tricts in the world , all of which are FrcI now lying practically idle on account of inadequate transportation facili CO the ties. Her manufactures are few and slve. need encouragement and stimulation. the Her agricultural products are all nsed have at nome. Just BO soon , says Judge pn and Beeford , of Colorado , as we establish the railroad communication with the in bn terior of Mexico , our domestic ex as port trade instead * of amounting tea ? a little over500,000 , as nrw , can see ba expanded to reach fully $100,000- the 000 per annum. may The new projects for opening up this of sea hitherto undeveloped country to mil American enterprise , will furnish a p * f new outlet for their manufacturers itl gre and a rich field for the Investment of In American capital , . : ; hoi . - SENATE FILM NO. 4O. The corporation cappers are jubi lant over the defeat of the senate bill providing forthelocal taxationof rail road property. The tax-payers of Ne braska liave ouce more been placed under the monopoly heel and for two years to come will ba compelled to see the Sime ihamefnl ev alon of local taxation by wealthy corporations an * der which they have Buffered since the passage of the lair of 1879. Corpor ation property until the nsxt meeting cf the legislature will refuse to bear Its share of the burden of taxa tion and the people in the country , as well as in the c.tiea , will oncejtnore be compelled to make up the deficiency. No more shameful or disgraceful steal was ever perpetrated upon a community than the present system of railroad taxa tion. Under Its provisions grounds and buildings , which at the present time cannot be purchased for hun dreds of thousand ) of dollars from the corporations , are assessed for the benefit of the whole state at a pit tance BO paltry that neither the city nor the county reap the benefit. How thoroughly the law was framed in the interests of the corporations Is seen frorft their persistent and corrupt op position to the repeal of the measure , which annually robs Omaha alone of thousands of dollars of legitimate taxes. Now upon -whom does this shameful sktrklng of local taxation by the corporations fall ? Upon ever } tax payer of Omaha , Lincoln , Grand Island and the other towns , most heavily , and to a less degree upon every tax nayer of Nebraska. Uuder the law of 1879 all the expenses of sewering , gradirg and improving streets adjacent to railroad property must be borne aoMy by the tax pay ers of the community outside of the corporations , who reap an equa benefit in the improvement of their property and complacently shirk their proportion of tha expense upon the merchants and property owner * of cities and totrus. With a state board of equalization completely under the control of the monopolies their real and personal property has been and always will be listed at a mere fraction of its value , thus rob bing even the country of the benefit of a steal which doubles the burdens of cities and benefits only the monopo lies themselves. The people of Ne braska are too familiar with the facts and figures presented by THE BEE to be deceived by the buncombe 0f the railroad cappers in the late legisla ture , They will demand to know the reason ithy twelve membcra ofjthe late legislature , changed their votes at the eleventh hour from the peoples' to the monopoly side and they will view with surprise the fact several members in whom they had reposed implicit confidence , de serted them at a moment when their votes were most needed and listened to the counsel of the paid tools and cappers of the tax shirking corpora tions. Messrs. BrownCautlinOarman , Car- rell , Dew , Helms , H oilman , Jensen , Moore , ot York , Palmer , Reed , and Zle ler , will now have an opportunity to explain fully to their constituent ) the cause of the sudden convereion to the monopoly side of the railroad taxa tion question. THE new conditions of the Wood's funding act to which the banks moat seriously object are : (1) ( ) , a new pro vision that none but 3 per cent , bonds shall be acceptable as a basis for cir culation , and two re-enaztments (2) ( ) requiring all national banks to keep one-third of their capital invested in national bonds and on deposit at Washington ( whether they circulate notes or not ) , and (3) ( ) requiring also that in surrendering circulation , the banks must themselves gather their notes and present them , be fore they can recover their bonds This last hai been construed by bank men as a great hardship , because it re quires the bank to have on deposit the margin of bonds rooreaenting destroy notes which wjll never ba present edfor redemption. But the bankonght lose this margin. A bank has juit claim for indemnity for circulating note * dostoyed lost In the hands of the people and never presented For redemption. The bank has rccaived dollar for dollar for every note issued. If any these notes are lost and never re deeme , the loss falls not on the bank , on the unknown holder. Nobody represents him better than the gov ernment , which should therefore re tain in the treasury the difference be- tween the amount issued and the amount presented for redemption. In regard to the difficulty of collecting these notes , it is somewhat exagger ated. A premium cf J of 1 per cent t offered by a bank for the presentation its notes would probably bring them in very rapidly , up to a small cent , of the whole Issue , repro sentlng the destroyed notes.

BY E. A. DAVIS. [ dUth Tapir. ] In 1856 there came to Fontanelle a man and his wife and put up at the Fontanello House. This man waa large , dignified in appearance , quiet in manner , and would have been taken by most people for a preacher. The woman with him was lady-like , quiet , reserved , with rather a sorrowful cast of countenance , as if brooding on sonn trouble. It may have been feigned. Of this I cmnot tell , as I never learn ed her history. This man , whom we will call by the fictitious name of and who will be recognized by dcTsettlers of the section , said he had come from Iowa , and wanted tj'buy land near town for farming purposes. Of course there were eligible "claims" to be bought , and ho finally selected one joining Fontanello qa the north , built a board shanty hurriedly and moved into it. His wife did not min gle with the females of the settlement and Legg himself was rarely seen nif-- less he had an errand at the storeanU ; then he frequently sent a man to do It' for him. - He appeared to be busy or his claim , though no decided improve ments were vhiblo after months of oc cupation. The people thought It queer that Mrs. Lscg xlid not mix with the women of the colony , wiero all were on a social equality , and where the best of feeling and good will prevail ed ; where ell were neighborly and where all Resisted each other in var- 'ous ways. It wasthooght strange that Air. Lecg should also shun the com- panicnchip of the male membera nf the settlement. " Some declared the Leges to ba""stuck up , " atidtoo aristocratic for frontier sociability , "for , do you mind , " said gossip , "how lordly and erand they were when they first came ? Why Mrs. licgg kept her room all the time at the hotel , and was too proud and haughty ti speak to any one. " Ot course this was remembered and com mented upon , and gossip vowed that the "stuck np" things could wag a they pleased , the colony would be "just as gay and happy" without their company. It was noticed , after a time , that there were four or five men beside * Legg living at his shanty. They were villainous looking fellows , and Lsgg explained that they were his hired hands , and nothing more was thought of the matter at the time. Leg * gave the people to understand that he had piles of money ; that he was golog to make big improvements , and farm on a msgnidoeut scale. Sometimes his hired men aud himself would be ab sent from home for days at a time , though there were generally one or two left to take care of the horses and other stock on the ul&ce. One evening an emigrant wagon , drawn by a fine cpin of horses , with two led ones behind , arrived in Fontanelle , and camped just in front of the Fontauelle House. The wagon contained a mau , wife and tire child ren , with a complete settlers outfit for roughing it. They had come to take a clajtu in the Elkhorn vsllcr , and in the morning intruded to go out with John Evaus to pick out a claim and have. It surveyed. This was in July , I think. After eating supper the horaes were fad and tied to the wheels of the wagon : the emi grants male their bad on the inside of the wagon end retired for the" night The next morning , before daybreak [ oud raps on the front door of our louaa awakened my father who wauted to know what was the matter. "Get your boarders up , Mr. Divis , ind hurry up breakfast ; the umigrantn 'our horses have baen stolen frim tha : rout cf your house , and we are going to get up a company to go in pursuit of the thieves , " said Thurlow Oarpen tor , one cf the settlers. All 'hands were speedily up and dressed , breakfast taken and a compa ny of eight , armed with revolvers , ridBS and double barrelled shot guns was formed to ge after the thieves. It was a bole piece of work. The lorseshad been BO ctrefully untied , and led away as uot to disturb the ileepors in the wagon. None jut expert horse thieves could lave dono.so clean i job. There waa a "bad" old bull-dog at the hotel , and numerous dogs in town , but none of heia bad given notice of .tho preseuco of the thiaves. In fact , Ihe doss that night were usually quiet. It was decide ! to bo the work of Indians ; but t' the people had stopped to thiuk he ) would hivu decided other-rue. Had it been Indiana who committed : he theft they would hava cut the ropfs instead of untying them ; be- idea every dog in the town would have smelled the red skins , and bounced them before they could have ot to the wagon. But the excited settlers had no time to thiuk , and as all the rascality perpetrated in the territory was laid to the Indians , it was but natural t ) charge them with this crime. I was to be one of tha pruning par- : y , and after hastily improvising a commissary department of coffee , ba con , cracker ? , fugar and salt , we start ed , just at sunrise , in < * northwest di rection , where , it was believed , the trail lay. We rode rapidly all "day without seeing an Indian , and at night camped i the ed/a of a piece of timber near Logan creak , seventy-five milas esti mated from the settlement. Game was abundant. Wu saw many * deer during the day's travel , but dared uot shoot for fear of letting the j.b [ ndians know we were after thoji , or brirjguig some , hostile party of savages down upon ui. Our pstty was com- joscd of JohnEans , Harlow Oirpen- , er aud brother.Capt. Olive , Me- Nulty , John W. Pattison , Ed. Taylor and the , writer. Then came supper. In our haste we had 'forgotten to take blankets along , and we had no cooking utensils t except ciffee pot. With a longo isndled frying pan we would have lad all the necessary culinary utensils ! 'or camp life , aud been well fixed. A tl frying pan aud the Inevitable coffee T pat are the ' 'household" treasures of a It jionoer. With these , his trusty rifle , t . buffalo robe and blankets , he can b subsist an indefinite length of time n away from and beyond the artificial ti jlandishments of civilization , where 01 men and women are slaves to fashion h and the unnatural follies , flipperies c and gew-gaw splendor of fast , fashT enable and short lives. * y Having securely lariated our fa onies , and left them to nip the ci : uxnrious grasi > , * e gathered wood hired rod set about getting supper. The tl ragrant coffee was soon steaming T n the fire and in lieu , of s frying pan , ei e sharpened long sticks upon whlsh d toasted our bacon , and buttered tl ar crackers with the dripping fat. uj aid what a glorious supperwe * had ! qt ; Iiw sweet and. delicious the food asted ! How hungry we wore ! With re our bacon , crackers and hot coffee ; N only needed a supply of venison teaks to have had a feast fit for tha ot gods. We could have tha venison I without trouble , but refrained from an hooting for reasons named. and 'Vhen I was a boy I read a story ag about a certain king who loved the chase. One day tired , hungry , and the alone , be stopped at a cottage occu by an old woman , and called for pr dinner. The woman , who did not ye know it was the king , set before him Jc mug of milk aud a large dish of Una boiled pudding. This the king de-1 ro Toured with great relish declaring he had never tasied anything so gocd In his life , and tossing a piece of gold to the woman he left the premises , In a fe"w days afterward he came back and demanded more pudding , Finaltl ly he asked the woman how it was made and wrote the Instructions caret fully down. Not long afterward the old woman was summoned to theklnc B castle , whither she went with fear and treplditlon. The king revealed himp self and told the old woman he wanted her to remain and cook puddings for him. He had given the diit rectlons for her pudding to his cooks , but ncne of them cauld make H so good as she used to make it for him. So the old woman was duly installed In the King's kitchen as chief of the pudding brigade Bui she could not suit the king , be had no appetite for the puddings , and he declared - clared she did not make them as of yore. " Finally she was sent away in disgrace. Months passed , and one d > y the king , returning from a hunt , happened at the cottage of the old woman just BS she had put a steaming pudding on the table for dinner. We took a seat at the j and after partaking heartily of thVppddin ? , declared It was delicious Mmdasked why it was impossible for 'hirjc < 5bk 8 end herself to make such " "pudding * at his castle where he-had -aliTthe conveniences to make even Tj'atter ones , were U possible. The woman answered : "May it please your majesty , I hnve solved the ques tion you ask. Exercise .and fresh air gives yon an appetite to relish this p'ain pudding of min , when eaten here. At the castle , 'youhave nn exercise consequently no appetite. " The king bestowed a pension on the w > imacand , ever afterward went to his dish of pudding at her ranch. So it was that the exercise of our long ride had given us splendid ap petites for food which in other cir cumstances wo might have disdain' fully refected Supper over we light ed our pipes , talked until drowsy , hen we lay down by the fire on the grass and slept the sleep of the truly good. i We were np betimes In the morn ing and concluded It would be time wasted to follow the trail further , assuming we were on the trail of the stolen horses. If they had been taken by Indians , as we then supposed , they had many miles the start of us , and would ride day and night until boyonc pursuit. We had a slim break fast , having eaten most of our provisions the night before. Two crackers , s couple inches of bacon , and a f iw swallows of coffee to each man cleaned out our lrder complete ly. Tben we saddled our ponies and started for the settlement , where we arrived at night , worn out with hunger and our long ride , for there was not a house nn the way where we could get anything 'to eat. People living in Nebraska now can form some Idea of this then "howling wilder ness , " when I say that there was no sign of a habitation , anywhere , that we could sea near or distant , in the long rides we took In those July days after imaginary Indian thieves.
