"SENATOR SAUNDKU.S has again intro- dnopd his bill into the senate which provides for the Htraightontng of the , northern boundary of Nebraska by 'extending the line along the forty- i third parallel through the Sioux res ervation.

SKCUCTAHY BI.AINB in roaponsiblo for the statement that General Garfield - field intended , had ho lived , to ollor a seat on the Huproino bench to ox-Son ator Conkiing , to show him that ho entertained no fooling of personal ani mosity toward him , It is scarcely probable that Mr. Conkiing would have accepted the tender. General Grant made the sumo oll'or , which was declined with thanks. THKUE is little probability tha congress - gress will begin its work botoro the 3th of January. Speaker Keifer is till wrestling with the question how to dispose of sixty small men , an chairman of twenty largo committees , and until the committees are uppoint- iod the house can do littlu except in- Hroduco bills und saw wind in speeches on favorite measures of ihdividual congressmen. .A HILL has boon drafted by Con- ! gro8sman Burrows which is designed to protect innocent purchaser * from 'the extortions of patent sharks. It 'forbids the collection of damages fet infringement of patents from purlieu O \who have purchased the patented arti- clo'iu ' the open market for a valuable consideration and without thu knowl- ud o'that it was putonted , and make the manufacturers responsible for anj . , , 'infringotiiuitt on thu rights of the t' .patcntooa. Such a mciisuro should ' liavo a speedy passage. It is framed in the interests of ull classes , bul -especially of the farmers of the west. The-govonimimt inunt ot course ensure protection to inventors , bul .i * there is no reason why the ponaltioi of the patent laws should bo turned vigainit innocent persona by sharpen who only seek their own profit. The people of the west have suffered sufll ciently'from the extortions of patetv tees of 'barb-wire fences , drive- wells , Thousands of our farmers purchased fluchj urtiolcfl'in the full faith thai tticiriKejrrau a ( rcotyo tliom as thai jpf any other agricultural jmplement.

JUDICIAL MURDER- TIIK BRB has at no time taken stock in the theory advanced by other Oma ha papers that Watson B. Smith com mitted suicide or shot himself by ac cident. "Wo Imvo expressed nnd still hold the opinion that ho was mur dered. From the standpoint of a common humanity tlio murder of Watson B , Smith was n more das * tardly crime tlmn the shooting of James A. Onrfiold. The murderer of Garfield exhibited n reckless daring in shooting him in broad daylight , The assassination of Smith , na cowardly ns it was brutal , wns committed in tlio night nnd in the dark. From the hour this terrible crime was parpotratod tha law ollicorn nnd dolectivc'S Imvo had our active cooperation oration in their effort to.forrot out th > murderer , In common with every law-nbidini ; citizen wo are anxious that the cowardly assassin of Wntson 13. Smith shall bo speedily discovered , convicted nnd hung. There is , however , eomo danger that n grcatur crime even than the assassination of Watson B. Smith may be committed in the iiamu of justice. It would be a most doplora bio commentary on our judicial ays tern to place nny man , whatever hia condition in life may bo , on trial for tlio murder of Watson I ) . Smith without such substantial proof n would a ( lord reasonable assurance of hm conviction. It would bo nn unspeakable crime to convict and hang an innocent man on circumstnncinl evidence unless the proof furnished , by credible wit ileuses , is overwhelming. Under any circumstances , any man clmrgod with this grave crime should bo considered nnd treated 0,1 innocent until ho is proven guilty by a jury of hu peers. Even that dastardly wretch , Guitoau , who admits the deliberate murder of Presi dent Giirfield , lias been accorded n fair and imp.irtial . trial , nnd it must never bo rniid of Nebraska that an innocent nocont man lias boon judicially hung beaiuso ho was merely suspected , or worse than that bucauHu ho made him elf obnoxious to nny person or cor- onition. Wo pay this much with no itont to reflect upon the notion of , ny Inw ollicer. Wo simply auk nnd isist that in this case , ns in nil crimi ul cases , there shall bo no porsccU' ion instead of prosecution. Mr. Arndt may bo the murderer of iVatson U. Smith , and if such is rove to bo the cnsu , ho should suffer ho extreme penalty imposed for such enious crimes. But he should not )0 tried in n court organized to con ict , no matter how reprehensible his ourso has been toward any law iflicor. In any case it should bo borne in mind that this man may bo innocent , hut parties who have an interest securing the heavy rewards nay conjure up all sorts of circum itancos to put their claims through. Last , but not loait , there may bo par ries who desire to keep this man in nil tj prevent him from prosecuting tluims agninst them. A SHREWD DODGE- Kver since the trunk line war began n the cast the railroad organs have ocn tilled with statistics to show that water routes cannot and never will bo nblo to compote fo. traffic with thu railroads. Figures without number were produced to show that the rail- railroads wore carrying produce from Chic.igo to Now York chaapor than it could bo transported by canal , and that in consequence of this state of affairs the business of the Erie canal had fallen to insignificant pro portions. The public were in formed that the Erie canal had outlived its usefulness and was no longer u competitor with thu rail route and the people of Now York state , who under the influence of the anti-monopoly league had shown a loaning towards taking oil' all tolls on the canal , were cooly udvisod not to waste their time in stimulating a route which was already dead as a competi tor of the railroads. It now appears that Yandorbilt'a ' refusal to close tlio railroad war had for its object the reduction of tralllo on his great competitor. Thu Butfulo Express , in announcing that the trunk lines were conferring upon an immediate - diato advance in rates , says : The railroad war has been carried on with great ( apparent ) fury { but the has boon of the opinion from the beginning that it was not half so much a war of railroads among thorn- solves ns it was a war of nil the rail roads on the caiml. Wo may look to BOO rates go high enough before the water-route reopens to fully compensate the roads for the low rates of thu so-called war period , If the people were to make the great mistake of permitting the railroads - roads to break down canal navigation , they might then expoot high ratot from the railroads all the year round , What would there be to prevent ! What is there now to prevent , except the canal ? This protection which the canal affords against extremely op < nreuivo railroad rates during at least half the year , is so obvious and the value of it so prcnt that one would hardly suppose- any intelligent citizen would bo found indilforont to the present or future welfare of the canal , The plea is that the canal has out lived its usofnlnuM , The answer it that last year it floated mow fruit-lit than in any previous year of its history - tory , and this year it floated mon Svest ward-bound freight than > ovoi before. The tolls had been taken tof ! west bound freights , and shipme'nti at oncu felt thu impetus of a frut canal , East-bound freights would unquestionably respond to thu same stimulus , For the state to refuse to apply that stimulus is to depreciate its own prop erty nnd to throw nwny the richest in ternal commeroo in the world acorn- merco which nny other stnto or coun try would make almost nny nocrifico to ccuro. SKNATOR SIIEUMAN'H refunding bill iflbra only from that introduced by landall in the omission of tlio feature nown ns the "Carlisle amendment , " hich passed the Inst congress nnd liich compelled the iiatioH.il banks to iko the bonds ns guaranleo of their irculation. It is stated that many of ho bunks nro in favor of Mr. Slier- unn'a meaiuro. The nntionnl banks old § 200,000,000 of the outstanding lontinucd 5 nnd I ! per cent , bonds , nd out of every call for $20- )00,000 ) , are compelled to give p § 8,000,000. Tlic.so must bo oplacod by other bonds under the aw , if their circulation is maintained , nd in the present condition of affairs o other course is ottered thorn but ; ho purchase of l per cents , nt a large remium , ranging from 1" to 18 per : ont. It is argued that they would nadily exchange the II ] per cents , inllod in by the government , for n 3 xjr cent bond which would give them cnnanont security for their eircula- ion for some years to como , Should uch n bond be successfully floated , ho credit of our nation would o higher than that of nny ithor government on the globe , England's connols bear interest nt the nto of three par cent , annually , but ro rnroly nt par , fluctuating from 95 o 03 nt every disturbance of the for- ign relation ! ! of the empire. Other uropcan nations borrow nt rates anging from five to twelve per cont. t will bo left for the United States ilono to float nt piv : a loan bearing hrco per cent , interest , and tcrinina- > lo , lifter n ohnrt period , nt the will if thu national treasury. Such nu chiovcnient will prove a. flttinr climax o twenty years of financial legislation iy the republican party. TJIK opening of the Fremont cream- ry will ndd another interest to otirlsliing town nnd increases very naturinlly the producing capacity f Dodge County. It is a remarkable act that Nebraska with her un- quallod facilities for dairying pos- essos only two crenmurios to which . hird will soon bo added upon its com- iletion at Columbus. The success of ho West Point institution long ago roved that creameries in Nebraska were both leasable and profitable , 'rom its foundation the West Point reamory has boon a genuine success if equal advantage to the farmer in providing him a constant and profita ble market for his milk , and to the manufacturers in enabling thorn to ao- uro a pure and saleable article of tale - > lo consumption. There are no rea- ions why Nebraska should not within a few years stand abreast of Iowa in lior dairying interests. Grazing is cheap , and with a market for their milk could bo made still moro profita ble for our farmers. The demand for pure article of butter nnd cbocso is much greater than the supply , not nly further east but in Omaha itself. Every county in our state ought to bo lUppliod with one or moro creameries , and capital can find no bettor and moro remunerative form of investment n Nebraska than in their es nblish- nont nnd operation. Tm ; ease with which the star route organs learn of every move in the at torney general's otlico shows that there ia a leak somewhere. From the first moment of exposure to the last of the disgraceful fr lo in the Wash ington district court uo detail of the government's plan of operations seems to have escaped the knowledge of the ringators and their counsel. The sooner Mr. Phillips makes way for Benjamin II. "Browstar , or nny other man in whom the people have confi dence , the bettor it will bu for nil parties concerned. JUIKIK GIUNNKLL , of Iowa , has been tendered the courtesy of the Union Pacific road in order to make ti report as to thu advuntaues of the lands in Ne braska nnd "Wyoming for the cattle raising industry. Over 1(50,000 ( cattle Imvo already been shipped over the Union Pacific thia season on their wny east , a fact moro tolling than nny re port Grinnoll could mako. Gulteau'a Insanity , Now VorU Htm , Duitenu's labors , an assistant coun sel , to prove himself inoanu have now become incessant. Insane mon usual ly are not anxious on that point ; they are often very loth to admit it. Gui- teau himself , when suddenly turned upon by Judge Porter with the catch question , "Your defense ia insanity , isn't ' it ? " adroitly replied that hia defense - fonso was the not of tha Deity , com manding him to do as he hud done. But this distinction ho has long since ceased to insist upon , The other day ho wanted the exports to say whether , when a man felt himself compelled to do an illegal act , by a power beyond him which he could not control , nnd which dominated his moral agency , hovas to bo considered sane or in sane. Afterward , when a witncea apoko of inequality in the two sides of the head ns a sign of Insanity , Gut- teau eagerly exclaimed. "That hits my caio exactly ! " And yesterday , when n witness testified to his sanity ' in'1878 , Guitenu yelled , "That's got nothing to do with what occurred lost May nnd June. T might Imvo go no crazy n dozen timrs ninco ho Raw tnu. " Such persistency in claiming insanity is very quocr. But , after all , it will not do to generalize too , hastily. The inmates of insane asylums know that in _ order to secure what they want , their freedom , it is necessary to make others believe that they nro anne ; nnd for the oaino purpose Guitoau must do exactly otherwise ) namely , convince people that ho is insane. Ilonco is the /net of his insisting on liis own insanity , extraordinary ns it nt first appears , may not bo in itself exclu sive of the great point now at issue. PHILOMATHEAN CONCERT.

She was richly attired In an elegant Worth drew of light blue al k. The over-dress was handsomely embroidered in natural flowers nnd trimmed with laco.
