TUB co-operation of conyre 3 i i B ] < - od in the celebration of the discovery lijof the mouth of the Mississippi by La [ / Sallo , two hundred years ngo. The FjMbi-contcnnml crane is evidently upon l.tm * . Fouu hundred and forty thousand * imraigrants landed in Custlo Garden " ' " 'and ' paid $0,000,000 for transporta tion to railroads. It is ovidenfc that the emigrant business more than pays expenses. JliiAW duties were recently levied on tlio French railroads by the government mont which now intimates that the state will forego the levy on condition that a largo reduction is made in pas scngor nnd freight rates. GKNHHAL Porn has declined to bo interviewed on the Fitz John Porter case , but privately expresses the opin ion that the situation has not boon changed by any of the testimony pro duced since the original court martial. TUF.IIK is trouble attain in Warsaw. Two hundred and fifty suspected nihilists have boon arrested and brought to St. Petersburg for trial. It is safe to say that they will bo con victed. Trial and conviction go hand in hand In the c/.ar's empire. A UAUKFUL estimate of the public debt of the country for state , county , municipal and school purposes puts the total amount at $1,000,000,000 , ol which only $082,000,000 is bonded. Of the bonded debl a largo portioi was contracted in aid of railroads. RmtKHKNTATiVE O'N.Ktt. has introduced ducod a bill to suppress gambling ii : the District of Columbia and a loca' paper admonishes congressmen in view the great American game of poker that they can't vote on bills in whicl they Imvo a personal pecuniary inter' ' ost. AMONG the pqtitioni introduced by Congressman Valentino is the petition of Mrs. A. 8. Paddock and 123 others , ladioa of Gage county , .Nebraska , for the expulsion of George Q. Cannon , a polygamut , from the houao of repre sentatives , and for the enactment of laws to make effective the existing anil-polygamy laws. What is the matter down in Gage countIs / the state of Beatrice threatened by nMur- mon invasion ? A LAW for the national regulation of iminigrntioii is one of the greatest needs of the country. The tide of immigration during the last year was higher than over before , and is still rising. Next year it promises to roach enormous proportions. There itt great need of a ttatuto making pro visions for the lecoption , protection and care of immigrants landing at our ports of entry. It is manifestly un fair that the burden of caring for such should bo delegated to tlio cities w'lero they land , Of course it is hard on Nebraska to have a ] nrjor population than its rep resentation in congrcsH presume ! , but then th r nro i\ good ninny more slatMi Himc box. Missouri is equally kiiiitlud to one more repre sentative on the same ground , and there is not a particle of reason why Nebraska should bo given additional representation when other states just as much entitl d to it are donind , Missouri Rejmblican. Nebraska does not ask for addi tional representation in advance of apportionment. Her people admit that there is no legitimate reason why > an exception should bo made in her faycr. The bill introduced into con gress by Kepresentativo Valentine is a back nay steal of tlio most bare- freed nature , which is not endorsed by tfio citizens of this state. BULLDINO FROM THE TOP. Any efficient nystom of public edu cation must bo based on a firm foun dation of thorough primary instruc tion. The tendency of late years has been to increase the facilities of the high and grammar schools at the ex pense of the lower grades. The ef fects are already showing themselves and in Philadelphia and Brooklyn loud demands for an investigation from pa- rontn have composed the boards of ed ucation to thoroughly reorganise the system of graded schools as they now exist in those cities. Thix fault is not confined to the cast. The evil lias been n growing ono for n number .of years and nearly every largo city in the country has sullerod in consequence. The attempt to build a structure from the top down wards 1ms never proved successful , leait of all in the public school sys tem. The primary schools are of the highest importance because they nro patron i/.od by the greatest number. Two-thirds of the pupils nttend- tending our public schools never reach the hii1i ; school. Whatever cd tication they receive must bo acquired in the lower gradon. It goes without saying that such instruction should be thorough nnd practical , nnd to this end the teachers should bu something more than more nuto- matoro nnd the course of study ri gidly adapted to the wants of the greatest number. The HI is in favor of a graded sys tern culminating in a high school. But it is not in favor of a mere filigree education which fails to thoroughly ground our school children in the elementary brunches and makes up in useless glitter and glass what it fails to ac complish in the practical branches of primary education. This great defect in our public school system is the principal cauao for the growth and maintenance of private nnd denomi national schools Parents complain , nnd with justice , that their children nro hurried through text books under the guidance of incompetent , because poorly paid , teachers , and are jumped to the next grade with a confined and highly unsatisfactory knowledge of the most rudimentary branches. No ono who has studied the workings of the system of primnty education in various cities in the United States will claim that these complaints are unfounded. VAI/S MAIDEN EFFORT. Nebraska's omineiit statesman made his first report , na chairman of the committee on agriculture , hut Thurs day , which is reported by the Congressional grossional Record as follows : Mr. Valentino I desire to present a report from the committee 011 agri culture. Tlio SpRakor The chair has boon notified by the gentleman from Indi ana ( Mr , Holman ) that the regular or der is now in listed on. Mr. Valentino I believe I have privileged report. I nm instructed by the committee on agriculture to report the bill which I send to the desk , that it may bo rend a tint and second time , and to ask thnt it bo printed and referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union. ' The Speaker How does this be coma a privileged report ) Mr. VulontinoIt is nn npproprl tion bill. The Speaker The Chair does noj understand that is necessarily n privileged loged report , although certain bill front the appropriations committee are privileged. Mr Valentino The committee on agriculture has the privilege of re porting its own appropriations. The Speaker Tlio Chair under stands that perfectly well. The Chnii will direct the clerk to read , ns bearing ing on this question , paragraph 47 o rule XT. The clerk read ns follows : 47. Thu following named commit tees shall have leave to ronort at any time on the matters heroin stated viz : The committee on elections , 01 the riuht of a member to his seat ; the committee on ways and moans , 01 bills raising revenue ; the committoi on appropriations , the general appro ' 'priation bills ; thu committee on en rolled bills , enrolled bills ; the com mittee on printing , nil matters referred rod to them of printing for the use o the two houses ; nnd thu committee 01 ncoountr , on all niattrro of expend ! tuio of the eoutiiigi'iit fund of th houso.

CALIFORNIA AND NEBRASKA The constitution adopted by the pdoplo of California three years ape contains the following proviso : SKIJTJON 21 , Article 12. No dis crimination in charges or facilities for transportation shall bu made by any rnilroad or other tuinsportation company - pany between places or persons , or in the facilities for the transportation of the same classes of freight or passen gers within this state , or coining from or going to nny other state. Parsons and property trniBportud over any railroad , or by any other transporta tion company or individual , shall bo delivered t nny station , landing or port at charges not exceeding the ulmrqcn for the transportation of per sons nnd property of the same class , iti tlui same direction , to nny nioro 'istnnts'ation , port or landing. Tlio Doano tub law which has boone o fiercely nssailcd by the railway or- ; aiiB of this state rends as follows : > e Ittnactttl li.t the Legislature ol the State of Nol.ruU : SF. < mo.v 1. Every railroad corpo- ation shall uivo nil persons roasonn- ilo and equal terms , facilities nnd no- sommodntions for the transportation if merchandise or other property of very kind of description upon any ailroad owned and operated by such iorporation within this state , nnd for orminnl handling , the use of the do- wtnml other buildings and ground * of ucli corporation , and nt any point rhoro its railroad shall connect with , ny ether rnilroad reasonable nnd ual tcrmn and facilities of inter- atinc , and shall promptly forward norclmndiso consigned or directed to > o sent over another road , according o the directions contained therein or ccompanyii g the same.

THE BOB TAIL CAR. The fiendish ingenuity of the man , vho invented a bob-tail Hush 1ms been urpassod by the author of the bob tail car. They tire the most wretched Hiisancon ever contrived to economize ho money of the corporation ut the expense of the time , patie.ico and comfort of the passengers who patron- 7.0 them. Their nha is to convert every passenger into a servant of the street railway company , and to save the salaries of conductors by forcing each occupant ol ho car to make his own change , deposit - posit his own faro and secure the com pany from loss by embezzlement. No ono who has not ridden in bob-tail on a rainy day can appreciate , ho horrors of this money making in vontion. The man who sots near th ? 'are box and acts as an automaiio de positor of the nickels of the ether pas sengers , the lady whoso droas is ruined by the continual passing to and fro of the people to the front and the unfortunate individuals who hanging to straps and rail in the aisle and jostlod'and trodden mto'tcm- porury insanity , all can speak with teeling on the subject which is * al most too deep for words. It is a satisfaction to know that ir several cities a vigorous crusade has boon made against the bob tails by onraircd passengers which has resultec in their withdrawal by the companies There is no law which compels t passenger to act .as a servant of a corporation without pay. The courU have decided in throe instances that a tender of fare is sulliciont , nut that deposit in the faro box cannot bo enforced. In Chicago and Washing ton the traveling public hoisted , the standard of "No conductor , no fare , ' and forced the companies to roplacu conductors to receive the fares on al Hill's , and within the past fuw weeks a crusade of a like nature has beei innugurated in Brooklyn , where it is to bo hoped that rcsullH similar to those in Chicago and Washington wil follow. Mil. Poi'1'i.KTiiN believes the conn cil has ample power to lovythospi'cia tax forpiving Tenth street with ma cadam at § 1 75 per yard. In our opinion macadam on Tenth utrcc would be dear nt ten cents u yard Macadam pavement would not las twelve months on Tenth street witl the present nnd prospective trallic Down in Kansas City , whore the ; have given macadam a fair test , the ; pulled up the macadam pavement bo twui-ii the depot and thu city -.vhi'i travel and trurfllo are no heavier thai on Tenth street , and repavod wit ] Medina stone blocks six weeks ago. TUB appearance of small-pox in ou city makes it the imperative duty o every citizen who has not yet boot vaceinnnted to submit at once to tin painless and cllicacious operation The prevailing cold weather is in th highest degree favorable to the spreai of the diaonse , nnd the duty of precaution caution should bu now felt witl doubly binding force. All question raised as to the etlicacy of vaccinatioi are foolish and dangerous and over } ono who refuses to have it performed s an enemy to the public health. The Chicago board of health has published circular stating that the belief that no operation insures absolute safety rroncoua , and declaring that vaccina- ion should bo repeated until tno sys- cm refuses to receive more virus. ) n this account the only safety lies in encral vaccination wherever the mall-pox appcnrs in n community. Vith this precaution the disease can- ot spread nnd absolute safety is sBiired to every person who has sub- nittod to the operation. IT is palpabln evident that poor arficld was sot upon by a lot of bar- HOB , who drnggcu him into a false losition , nnd kept him there , to the njury of the republican party , and to lis own regret and sorrow. It is well Mown that ho could bo thus misled iy those who had his confidence. It lous not reflect upon his pnritv of f purpose or general qualities. It _ is ( insistent with the transparent purity f his character. Ho was guileless as child , and could bo deceived by hose in whom ho put confidence. Plus all know. And the dispatch nibliahcd proves that ho was misled. hiladolphia Evening news. This is a simple of the stutF which ho so-called stalwart news- ispcrs throughout the country re palm'iiK olFns n generous defense .f . President Oarfield. It will bo in- lipnantly repudiated by every friend f the martyred president. Guitcau's itillet took awny his life , but it failed o erase from the mcmoiy of the pec- do of the United States the brave , etcrinincd nnd manly character of heir late chief magistrate. The smut lachino is at work , but it cannot be- menr General Garfiold. Mu VALENTINE hns.introduccd two omowhnt important bills last week. One of thcso is to authorize the con traction of n bridge across the Mia- ouri river at n point to bo .selected ) utweon the north line if the county f Monona nnd the south line of the county of Harrison , in the atato of 'owa ; and alao o construct nccosiory ivories to secure the best practicable channel way for navigation nnd con Ino the flow of water to a pnrininont channel at such point ; which was read a first and second time , and referred o the committee on commerce. The other is n bill providing for the sale of the lands lately occupied as a mili- ; nry reservation nt Fort Hartsuff , in ; lie state of Nebraska ; which was read a first and second time and rn 'erred to the committee on military affairs. BuiumiDOE had better call Black burn a liar ouco for all and then shu UP- = = CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY. Some of the Notable Changes In the Volume Which Appeared Monday. The Congressional Directory , editec by Bon Porloy Pooro , corrected to December 31 , and containing a list o ; the house committees , made its appearance poaranco Monday. Some curious facts in relation to the members of the two liouscs nppcnr to it. Of the seventy' six senators five nro of foreign birth , viz : Jones ( Fin. ) , Sowoll , ( N J. ) mid Fair ( Nov. ) born in Ireland Jones ( Nov. ) in England and Beck ( Ky. ) in Scotland. Of course either of these gentlemen , being puora , are eligible to the office of president pro tern , of the senate , in the event of the death of the vice president thpro is i question whether they coulddisclmrgi the duties of president , the conatitu tion requiring that the president shal bo a native born citizen. New York am Ohio each send native senators nnc furnish six to other status , viz. : From New York , Senators Teller and Hill Colorado ; Conger , Michigan ; McPher BOH , Now Jersey , and Van Wyck Nebraska. From Ohio , McDill nnc Allison , Iowa ; Voorhees and Harri on , Indiana ; Plumb , Kansas , am Windom , Minnesota. Kentucky fur nishes Walker to Arkansas , Call to Florida , Maxoy to Texas , Jonas to Louisiana , and Saunders to Nebraska. Vermont is the native state of Kellogg , Louisiana ; Sawyer Wisconsin. Maryland gave the twi Duvises to Illinois and West Virginia Tennessee , Morgan to Alabama am Garland to Arkansas ; Maine gnv Grover to Oregon ; Massachusetts , In galls to Kansas ; Pennsylvania , Me Millan to Minnesota ; Virginia , Cok to Texas ; North Carolina , Hawley t Connecticut ; South Carolina , Browi to Georgia , which gives in exchange Lninar and Geomo to Mississippi nnd Pugh to Alabama ; Illinois who borrows David Dnvis fron Maryland , gives Mr. Slater to Oregon New Hampshire , Ilhde Inland am Delaware each cnntributu two nntiv senators as their representatives Connecticut , West Viiginia , and Mia aouri each have a single son in thu sen nte. Florida , Alalmm.i , Mi aissip | > LouisianaTex < is , Arkansas , Wisconsin Minnesota , Iowa , Kansas , Nebraska California , Oregon , Nevada nnd Colt rndo nro without native representation tion in the senate. Nativity of Farley Cal. , is not given. The youngos senators are : Mr. German , ! ' _ Mr. Miller , 42 , Mr. Plumb , 34 and Mr. Hall , 35 The eldest are MoRsrs. Mnrrill , 71 ; Lspluuii , 07 Anthony and Davin , 0(1 , D.KMN and Sawyer , 05 ; Saulsbury , 04. Conger and Hampton , 03 , Some of the older senators withhold their age from the directory. Mr. Edmunds , who looks like nnd is recognized as the sago of the senate , will bo 64 on the 1st of February next. Maine , Delaware and South Carolina are the only states that have a full native delegation in congress , nnd Arkansas , Texas , Wisconsin , Minnesota , Kansas , Nnbmska , Oregon , Nevada and Col orado have neither n representative born in the atato. Of the representa tives , the birthplace of 22 is not given nnd lf > nre of foroiijn birth. The contrast between nativity nnd legisla tive representation is somewhat sin gular. Now England , with a representation of 28 , has 47 of icr sons in the houso. Now 'ork 1ms 33 representatives and 30 nonibors born in that state ; Ponnsyl- ania , 27 and 23 ; Ohio , 20 nnd 2" ; rhilo Illinois , having 10 rcprcaonta- ivca , has but two sons in the house , Michigan and Iowa have but ono each ut of nine representatives , Of the CO American-born whoso place of jirth is piven , 1C3 are of Northern > irth , ono from the Pacific coast nnd ut 42 born in the South.
