THE assessed valuation of railroads in Indiana was raised $0,630,000 this year ever that of 1880.

At no time in the history of the wcst , , since the Imtldlnir of tlio Union Pacific nnd Central Pacific railroads , has there been such marvelous activ ity in railroad construction. Three roads nro surveying lines across the Uocky mountains from Colorado to Utah , with the object of reaching towards the coast , while five connect ing lines in Nevada propose to spnn the spnco which intervenes between the Mormon territory mid the Pacific. In Now Mexico the Denver & llio Grande and Atlantic & Pacific ays toms nro pushing rapidly forward into territory which has heretofore bo untouched ; in Montana the Utah it Northern nnd Northern Pnoific nro rivaling each other in thu race for en trance to the settlements , while even Wyoming is reaping the benefits of the renewed interest in railroading , and will shortly have connection with the rich mining camps of northern Colorado , and in thu near future , with the fertile ranges of her north ern borders. Especial interest centers in the con test which it is generally believed wil' shortly open between thu Union nnd Central Pacific systems. The man agement of the Union Pacific have long been restless under the contract which makes the Central Pacific their western connection , and , if rumor if true , nro laying plans to secure nn in dependent line to the Pacifii coast. Mr. Charles Crocker , one of tin owners , nnd vico-prcsidont of the i ) Central Pacific road was recently interviewed on the subject and stated that the Central Pacific was thoroughly prepared for nny movements of the kind on the part of the Union Pacific managers. Accord' ' infl to Mr. Crocker the Central Pacific will meet any move wcstwnrd by the Union Pacific , by n correspondup ! move eastward , and should tlo ) for mer road reach out for the Pacific coast the Central Pacific will imme diately rotallinto by seeking the Mis souri. riyor by a line of their own. Mr. Crocker further stated that Cen tral Pacific engineers nro alrea dy surveying n line west ward from Corinne , Utah , into Wyoming along Ham's Fork. If found necessary surveys will immedi ately bo pushed through the territory nlong the Siveotwatcr. thence to nnd along the valley of the North Plntto into Nebraska until the Niubrara is reached , which will bo followed , says Mr. Crocker , to its junction with the Missouri at Yankton. Such a road , the vice president of the Central Pn cific thinks , would prove n formidable competitor to nny through line which the Union Pacific could control. Whether or not the Union Pacific forces upon its western connection the building of n new line , the next four years will witness an unexampled amount of railroad building in the west , which , under proper restric tions , will prove of immense advan tage to our people. No one line of road or system of railways is in the future to have a monopoly of the car rying trade in the western states and territories. . With the extension o HiiOH already constructed and tin construction of now roads , tin portions of Nebraska nnd the westori : territories which now nwait develop mcnt will rapidly liH up with indus trious sottlcns for whoso product th rival lines will compote. In the bat tie of the innt i corporations the people plo will stand aloof so long as th contest does not monnco their inter euts. When it docs the popular voiei will call u truce to the contestants. THE PRESIDENT AND THE DOCTORS. A good deal of criticism is , bolng > lavished by a number of'lending howa- papers ii ] > ou thu treatment of Presi dent Garfiold'aound by his physi cians. The Chicago Time. * , following > in the truck of the Now York Jleruhi nnd the Boston Globe , declares that the people luivo lost conlidonco in the medical nttondnnco at the White House , nnd loudly calls for n change in physicians , \vhilo n score of xninllur journals , whoso opinion ia only the echo of the leading dailies , chlmo in and insist that the president's lifo is being endangered by incompetonoy and his suttbrings I protracted by medical maltreatment. \Yo cannot BOO that this theory is islbornu out by tlipciso ( , Much capital I is niadu by tomb papers out of thu fact that President Gnrfiuld'a wound was ttcntcd on the theory that the bullet had passed through the liver AB tlio Springfield ifejiiWirun nbly points out , while the first conjectures u to the location of the bullet have proven to bo mistaken , tlioso conjoc- hires were not the basis of any niedi- cal treatment , nor couhl they be There was only ono policy of treatment atnd ment BO long ns the wound fgnvo no evidence of lm\ ing pierced tlio abdomintil fcavity and tlmt wns to keep the jwtionl quiet and well nourished , uiaiatinj. nature to do her part in healing tin : wound ? , Whether the liver wai pierced or not , no other course wni possible than exactly thu ono whicl was carried out under the supcrvisioi and advice of Dra.

Tim best medical testimony in this country nnd Europe , including the London /XUKC ( 1ms united in ap proving a course of treatment which has mndo public in its minutest de tails by the attending physicians. The fact is that president Garfield on July 2 , was prostrated nt death's door from a severe wound in his back nnd the abdominal region , that , in spite of several relapses , duo to no- oummulating pus , nnd incident to ev ery gunshot wound , ho has so fnr re covered nn to take nourishment ade quate to the current drain Upon his system , and that nil his physicians unite in promising his speedy recov ery.

Now York. Last Mny Mr. VASSAU nnd his broth er , JOHN Guv , gave ample proof of their bounty by presenting to trus tees the title deeds to the Vnssar Homo for Aged Men , in Poughkeop- sio. The institution is on tho' corner of Main and Vnssar streets , and is built on the site of the first house that was erected in that city. This was in the ycnr 1702 , nnd was the first house built by nn ancestor of the Vas- sars. sars.This This historic old property Mr. Mat- thow Vnssar nnd his brother fitted up for the accommodation of fifty ngcd men , selecting the board of managers without regard to religious denomi nation nnd endowing it with § 30,000 invested in .the best securities. The i property itself was vnluod at more than S'15,000. In mnking the pro- sentntion Mr. Vnssar took occasion to say that as , Providence had blessed him nnd his brother John with Homo of this world's goods , they -had doomed it proper to do something for their follow men ; that they had cqmo to the conclusion that old men who had no one to care for them were es- pccinlly.doHorving , nnd that was the reason of the presentation of the Vos- sar homo to the trustees that day. Mr. Vnssar loaves a largo property. Ho will ho sincerely regretted by the citizens of Poughkeopsio , and his loss will bo greatly felt by the institution of which , since his uncle's death , ho has been the gtiidini ; spirit. TIIK national brotherhood of car penters , which held its annual session nt Chicago last week passed a series of resolutions that cannot fail to in terest working men in nil sections of the oountry. The resolutions endorse a call for n universal labor congress , to bo held in Pittsburg , on No vember 12th , of the present year , They recommend in the interest of their trade : 1st , 'shorter hours of labor ; 2d , uniform wages winter nnd summer ; 3d , thu support for public oflico only such men , irrespective of party , ns best represent the laboring classes ; ' 1th , thu enactment of laws that will build ui > American commerce ) and laws that will abolish monopolies , the establishment ot local burcnus nnd facilitate the employment of work- ingmcn. Lastly , they pledge them selves io use no article manufactured in n reformatory institution. SECTION f > , article 8 of the constitu tion of Nebraska says ; "All lines , penalties nnd licoimo moneys arising under the gone nil lawn of the state shall belong nnd bo paid ever to the counties respectively where the muno may bo levied or im posed , and all fines , penalties nnd moneys arising under the rules , by laws nnd ordinances of cities , villiagcs , towns , precincts or other municipal subdivisions less than a county shall belong to nnd be p.iid over to the same respectively. " The Slocumb law wont into ell'ect on the 2d of Juno and nil nets and ordinances previously passed regulat ing thu tratlio in liquor have been a dead U t'.cr since that date. In Omilm nnd in every city , town or village where no ordinance 1ms boon enacted in conformity with the stntute regulating the liquor ( radio , the fines nnd penalties imposed by the courts for violations of the statute since the 3d of Juno will , under the HOC t ion of the constitution uforu cited , belong to thu county tchool fund , and these lines nnd penalties will con tinue to go to the county school fund ns long as no ordinance is passed to regulate thu issue of liquor license in , conformity with the statute. Should the city council of Omaha fail to pass such an ordinance our city school fund would BOOH bo exhausted - and our public schools would have to - bo closed. It therefore becomes the , imperative duly of our city council to - pass the ordinance regulating the liquor trallio without delay , Our - school fund , during th ? present year , will at best fall considerably below the estimate of the board of education , and we cannot afford to lose n dollar that can legitimnsely bo collected for . the support of our city schools. Urn druggists will soon drive u profitable business , Under the Slo- sumb law whisky , gin , rum , wine , ale , beer and other stimulants can bo - sold by druggists for medical purposes , without license. All that is needed is n doctor to prescribe the medicine nnd a chronic dyspeptic to make the purchases. The drugRisls are not ex pected to sco who swnllows their med- icincs. , Scili'iu tells the following in cident of n personal visit to Spotted Tail on his reservation , and of Spotted Tnil's return visit to the White House : "When years ngo n government comhiissioti visiting the Sioux nation sent for Spotted Tail to meet them nt a ccrtnin point , ho replied : 'If 3 had anything to say to you I would go where you nro. ] Jut if you have something lo nay lo me you must como where T ntii. ' in the autumn of 1877 ft lnrgo _ delegation of Sioux vis ited Washington nnd had a council with the president in the famous cast room of the White House. Spotted Tail , when nskcd to let the president know what ho had to communicate , said that ho would not speak until all ' the other chiefs had spoken. So they made ' their speeches oiiu after another , standing up before the president with great solemnity. When they had spoken , Spotted Tail rose and asked one of the attendants by ccsturo to put his chair imnicdiatoly in front of the president. This done , Spotted Tail gravely sat clown and talked to thu president , not in the usual orator- ial style , but in n more familiar manner - ner , as it coversing with nn cpunl.

His Little Law Thoroughly Discussed The Saloon Keepers Intend to Keep Open Until Tholr Flnocs nro Closed by the Authorities- Of course the absorbing topic of lonversntion upon the street to-day via the supreme court decision on the oiistitutionnlity of the Slocumb law Opinions as to the practicality of the 'aw were all pretty much of the same haractcr , only n few people o bo met now nnd again ho nppcarcd to think the enforce- iiont of the law would have a bcnefi- inl olFcct upon the morals of the city. Most of the prominent citizens spoken o expressed the opinion that there ! ivas nothing left now for the council 0 do except to pass nn ordinance em bodying the features of the Slocumb ' ill so ns to regulate the sale of drink 1 the city. Thcso Kontlcmon took ho ground that the only principal question that had boon involved n regard to the Jaw was as .o its constitutionality. This matter i.ad been settled by the highest judi cial tribunal of the state and there , vas nothing bft for the council but o sco that the law was' enforced , If t were an unjust law it was n matter 'or the next legislature to settle. Mayor Hoyd said lie would send a communication to the next meeting of the council , as ho had done twice before , recommending action in the matter. Ho thought there was : io doubt that council would take the necessary action. Councilman Martin Dunham said that of course ho was in nvor of enforcing the law so long as it las passed the legislature. Ho had pre sented the ordinance in regard to the matter to council in the first place and could scarcely got n second to , his motion to refer. Finally it was given into the hands of the judi ciary committee , who reported ad versely , saying the matter win uncon stitutional. Then the matter was sat upon. The saloon keepers and men in the trade generally take the position that they can do nothing whatever in the matter until council has takrm some action. They have no intention of closing up until compelled to do so and in the present status of the case say they could not take out a license "f they so dusired. They ntcnd to run right on- until the first of January if they are not disturbed. There are hints on the streets that nn obstruction policy will bo tried upon the council and the ultimate passage of the ordinance staved off by dilatory motions. Irresponsible dealers will probably icep open in any event nnd stand their chances of prosecution. A I5uK reporter called on Gen. .T. C. Cowin this morning to ascertain .his views on / the Slocumb 'lav. To ; ho question , "What will bo the effect of this decisionl" Gen. Cowin said : "In reading The ( Herald containing nu interview with Judge Lake , of the , supreme bench , I find that ho stated to the reporter that they hold that the license , if imposed , was a police regulation , using this language : 'In brief wo de cided that the law was a police regula tion entirely , and that the imposition of the money for licenses is in no sciiBO a tax as the word is used in the constitution.1 This being determined and settled , it gives almost unlimited power to our city with respect to po lice regulations. Under this ruling of the court , that the thu imposition of licenses for a thousand dollars is police - lice regulation , pure and simple , the city of Omaha by tho.power delegated to it from the state may exact a license fee of one thousand dollars a car on the street railroad of the city , nnd the same amount from auctioneers , brok ers , commission merchants , innkeep ers , insurance , telegraph , nnd express interests and businesses or venders dors of patents as wcl ns all shows , theatres , and exhibitions for pay. By this means an ample revenue may bo secured to support the school system without any regular tax for that pur pose. I do not look upon the law as a good police regulation , nor ono thai is likely to accomplish the results cx > pcctcd and hupud from it. Its ten dency will bo to build palatial structures nnd temples of honor to whisky and strong drinks , a few monopolizing the trade , while thu comparatively harmless beverage , beer , can find no place in the market. Anil tlio result of it maybe , mull fear will bo , that many of those who visii no other places than comparative ! } harmless beer Hardens , und thai in-company with their wives and children dron without any injurious effects may bu driven to other places where they will not be surrounded with the same influences fur their protection If this law had been intended for i police regulation only and not for the purpose of raising revenue the object would have better accomplished by making , police regulations proper more strict , as for instance limiting the number of saloons in all cities o tlio first class or second class , so tlia the trade would liavn been open to al alike , and not to the moneyed few. ' "There is a general impression tha the supreme court hastily decided th < case , " said the reporter. "J ndmit , " replied Gen. Cowin "that the case was decided suono : than I expected , but the question 1m : been before the public so long tha undoubtedly the members of the su prcmo court had examined the ques tion beforq the argument , and there fore the same amount of time was not required after tlio argument. " "What 111 your opinion will bo the , action of the city council ? " "Tho city council will not prcsumo or undertake to avoid the operation of the law , in my opinion , by failing to pass the proper ordinances to pcrmi these who desire to take out li censes under the now law , It is not presumed that n law-mak. ing body would itself violate the law' no matter what the individual fcelin ; or impression may be , When tlioj meet in the city council clumber they meet not as individuals , but as representatives of the rity , and they could , with ill-grace , ox > poet to pass ordinances and have them obeyed when the couii oil itself refuses to obey the laws o : the state.
