The country cannot afford to spare "tho watch dog of the treasury" from his flc.it in the Boiuto wliilo there nro fifty lawyers who would supply the vacancy left by Justice Hunt's retirement. TUB joining of hands by the Atchison - son , Topeka & Santa Fo and the Southern Pacific roads , by which it is agreed that no competing line to thu coast will be built by the former , has made thousands of converts to thu anti-monopoly cause in * California.

Captain Eada estimates that his ship railway across the isthmus will cost $75,000,000 and asks the United States government to guarantee ( tpor cent dividends on $50,000,000 of the amount for 15 years. He agrees in return to transport all ships , troopn , property and nmiln of the govern ment free for 00 years , to carry no vessels or contraband of war for any nation at war with this , to pay over all not receipts in excess of the 0 per cent to the government on account of advances it may have made. He proposes on behalf of the country to give the United States the right to regulate tolls and to dis criminate in favor of American com merce. The Mexican government bus agreed to exempt all property of the road from taxation for 09 ynars , to al low free transportion during that time of all materials and supplies , grant a right of way half a milo wide , give 1,000,000 acres of land outright and protect the works at all times with its army and navy.

' TIIK McCoid apportionment bill , reported by the house committee oi the census , fixes the membership ol the IIOUHO at 320 , and the ratio of rup rosontation at 104,285 , The ratit based oh the first nnd second cousin was 33,000 , with u membership in 170 ! of 105 , and in 1603 of 141. The ratic under the census of 1870 is 131,425 with a membership of 203 , so that wit ! 23,000 more people to each representative ativo there will still under the consu of 1880 bo on iiicreasod ' member ship of 27. Mr. MoCoid1 bill recommends itself ti congressmen by reducing ti a minimum the loss of ropresentatioi by individual stated. Maine , Yet mont , llhodo Island , Now Ilauif ehiro and Florida lose ono roprosonta live each ; in nine states the reprc sontation is unchanged , wliilo all th remaining states gain ono or mor members of congrost. It in on Hii account that the McCoid bill is likol to find the moat favor of any intrc duccd , up to this timo. Curron opinion in Washington inclines to tin belief that the bill will nccuro possage during the preaont month'.1 Al MR. BLAINEANDHIS POLICY The concerted attacks which arc being made on .lamen ft Hlninu by a certain eliws of republican puporn , as sisted by the mnd-slingors of Hie democratic party , will prejudice no fair-minded render of thu state papers referring to the Chili-Peruvian dilli- cully. The warfare which has thus early been started against the ux secretary in really directed neninst the ox-presidential candidate. An effort I'D hciiit ; inndo to create the impression that Mr. Jtlaino is an unsafe man to entrust with the uHitirs of state , and that his plans , if pursued , would in volve the country in serious troubles. Thr6ugh this impression his personal cncnncB hope to give a serious , if not fatal blow , to bin possible candi dacy for the presidency , and dispose of his ambition two years in advance ttf the next national convention. The later correspondence published on the qiiuBtiun places Mr. Itlainu'.i position in 'its true light before the country. His great object was to HIUO Peru from extinction which uould blot out from the map n sister republic always friendly to our coun try and which hadgalantly maintain ed u three yeara war against heavy odds. Ai the leading nation of the American continent nothing was more natural than that the friendly otllccs of thn United SUitea should have been proflerod to assist in aot- tloing the diflicultica between tno sister republics. And in endeavor ing on behalf of the United Statoi to Have Pom from npjliation or annexation , Mr. Blaine entered upon a course Ahich waa in every way creditable to him as the representative ot our nation and as a private individual with a heart and understanding. The pnblinhed cor respondence proves conclusively thu falsity of the charge that Mr. lilainu went so far as to menace Chili with war if she did not yield to the de mands made by him on bohilf of the United States. The instructions given to Mr. Trescott were to find out if Ciildoron's arrest was intended an an iiiRiilt to our government nnd if so and not tliscliiiiuud to discontinue diplomatic relations. This did not imply n deolatation of war and cannot bo construed an such. Besides , the wholu toner of the dispatchea proves conolum'voly that the probability of war was not in the secretary's mind. Messrs. Trescott and liluino were urged to act within the limits of friendly ofliccs , to offer their services to help the belligerents to n fair and just peace , and if not successful to forbear from further interference. Mr. Blaine's policy , whether accepted or rejected , must sooner or later become the policy of this government. In assorting the supremacy of the United States on the American con tinent , and it's purpose to maintain that supremacy Mr. Blaine only voices national aontimont , which if it has ot yet generally expressed itself , is ,0110 , the leas existent among our jooplo. America for Americans an .gainst . any European power , and compact ot strong republics on the mtincnts joined by an isthmus ndor American control aums up Mr Maincs much criticised policy , The oto to Karl Granville on the Olayton- lulwcr treaty , the discussion thu Panama cannl question , nd thu attempt to aid in the solution if the Chili-Peruvian difficulty were A ! in accordance with views which undrods of thousands of our voters will hold with Mr , Bhuno the moment , hat they consider the question in its wirings upon thn national security , 'iich ' a policy in preventing the posai- ility of invasion of our country from ho American continent is not warlike > ut peaceful in its tendency. You cannot vitalize itond political ssuos any more than you can revive .ho dead. The attempt to divide ox- sting political parties on the issue of 'reo trade and protection must prove v duad failure. Thirty years ago when thosu issues Mure a bono of con- tontiion between political parties the dopnm of free trade \\as a cardinal point of the democratic crood. To-day the number of democrats who advocate fri > o trade is yery limit ed. Loading democrats north nnd aouth who , a few years ago , were lamoring for free trade are to-day converts to the doctrine of judicious protection. The experience of the southern confederacy during the war hna.amply demonstrated the fallacy ot absolute free trade. The southern pooplu have been taught by aad experience how necessary - sary it is for any country to fostoi homo manufactures. Onu of tin greatest drawbacks mot by the confederacy foderacy was thu lack of appliancui for manufacturing article * ' that Wen absolutely necessary for the conducl of the war. They were compolloc to look to Kuropo tor rails telegraph wire , locomotives , guns army cloth , leather , boo IB mul tmoos picks and shovels and many ether ur- tides. Under changed conditions tin south is now building up great centers tors of industry whaiu her raw pro ducts are converted into useful tub rics and these great industrial contur in turn afl'ord the producers of th raw materials a piofitublo homo mur kot. In the west the otlort to build up grout commercial cuntur by the establishment of factories tint afford steady employment to workingmen - men , Imvo also wrought a great change of sentiment. It i& manifc.it that a country in habited by 50,000000 people endowed with nil the roiourcua for becoming a great industrial nation should strive to bo indopuiutont of all foreign coun tries in producin- fabrics and articles of commerce. To put American labor in competition with the pauper labor of Kuropo and Asia would be ruinous to American prosperity. It would force the millions of consumers of firm product ) ) who now labor in fncloriefl to abandon their employment and icok a livelihood on the farm. The moRt profitable patrons of the fanner they would become compotitora with the farmer and compel him to depend entirely on foreign countries for his market. Protection when properly restricted is , therefore , an important adjunct tn the prosperity of the Amer ican producer. While protection so called waa noocoBtwiy during the infancy of American manufacturing the great industries of this country have reached that Htago of perfection that will no longer warrant a con tinuance of extravagant tariff ) ) . In some cases protection has afforded opportunities for building up monopo lies These should bo brokon'up by a revision of'the tariff and the aboli tion of protective duties up on such industries as are now independent of all artificial props. The true statesman will direct his cf- forta at reform toward n thorough re vision of the tariff , not toward estab lishing absolute free trade , which would prove as injurious to the south ern and western producer aa it would to the mnnufacturor and his working- men. ANI > now wo are told by the Ho publican that Valentino did not in tend to vote $15,000 back pay toTem Tom Majors , and wo are told that Tom Majors has ansurod the house committee that ho will bo content with pay from the clay ho ia sworn in. Wo happen to have a copy of Valen tine's back pay gr.ib bill on the table ( II. H. 001) ) , mid we reproduce it for the benefit of back pay gr.ib cham pions. Tt reads as follows Whorcas , It is alleged that the ninth federal census of Nebraska was in correct and imperfect , allowing much less than the actual population of the state at that time , aim Whereas , By the state census since taken , the number of votes polled at , every election since that time , and by ether dociaivo evidence , it ia shown that said state has sufficient popula tion to entitle it to an additional rep resentative in congress , and Whereas , The people of said state , at the last regular election olootod , by the state at largo , auchroprosontativo , Therefore , Bo it enacted by the donate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress oassomblod ; That from and after the third of March , eighteen hundred and seventy- nine , said state shall bo entitled to and aliall bo allowed such representa tive in addition to the ono now al lowed by law. Now why did Valentino doaignato the 3d of March , 1870 , as the day upon wdich Nebaiiaka. is to bo en- viticd to a second member of congrosa ? ) oes not that fact how on its face mt Tom Majors was to receive back ay from March 3d , 1870 , up to the resent time ? If not , why attempt lis buck action legislation I DKNTKU has just extended her fire .mil and enacted more stringent emulations brohibiting the construc- 1011 of tire traps and high board 'onces within the city limits. Omaha if anything , more exposed to de tractive tires than Denver , but the rcction of fire traps and rookeries ontinues. Some of these days Omaha will reap the harvest of her ocklcas disregard of common pre caution in it terrible conflagration. Conkllnir and Astor. \ew York Lot tor to I'lilUdelph'n Ituioril.

The child died suddenly about wo weeks ago nt tlto homo of thu /lawsona , about sixteen miloa troin jincoln , nnd was buried. Tlio cruel rcatmcnt of Uio child has been wn in the neighborhood for some imc bcforu her dcnth. At HID recent oanion of the county commisaionora , t was tlioiiL'ht beat to inquire into thu natter , am ! Constable Mustcrimui and yoronor Slmw worp sent out ycstor- lay with instructions to learn the ruth of the matter. They arrived ipwn the grounds about 12 o'clock . 'ucBtiay , and soon after took the > ody from its burial placo. The ex amination made by Dr. Shaw irovod the truth of thu com- ) laints made. The body of the hild was covered with acara and iruisos , some of them inflicted but a hort time before death. The back f the body had two large scars ; the orohead , nose , cheek and temple were miiaod ; cord marks wore found on he wrists , fingers nnd feet , the great oos of both foot nnd one finger wore missing , and numerous ulcerated scars ovoreil the limbs and arms. The under-clothing was in nn almost ilthy condition , showing that the hild had been almost entirely uncared or. Frederick and MnggioClawaon , who are charged with having caused the loath of the child , were arrested and brought to Lincoln Tuesday , upon a warrant of the coroner , by the advice f the coroner's jury. The coroner's inquest was hold at ho engine .house court room Wednes- lay afternoon. Quito a largo crowd if people , mostly of them from the wintry and the neighborhood where he accuaed live , was in attendance. ? ho prisoners were brought in at an larly hour , and excited considerable uriosity and comment while the rowd waited for the proceedings to H'gin. Clawaon is a large , red-fncod lennaii , whoso coarse looks show are ro > it deal of animal nature. IIo ap- eared unconcerned. His wife , wheat at beside him , is a small woman , and n looks , the opposite ot her husband. She appeared to be nervous and un easy. In the crowd present there were wo young sisters of the littlu girl vhoso death tliCso people are charged with causing. A number of friends wore also among the people in the oom. The testimony of the witnesses hewed the child had been subjected o every manner of cruel treatment liat a brutal mind could conceive , ihe was compelled to herd cattle in lie fields , ahoeless and scantly lothed , at all seasons , and in one in tance was tied up for fourteen days jecauso the cattle were allowed to eave a certain pasture. The two istors of the deceased wore not per mitted to see her even at the grave. The jury , after further consultat ion , brought in the verdict that jertie Burgman , came to her death > y wounds , inflicted by Mr. and Mr.s. 31awson with clubs , knives , or other sharp instruments , and that said acts rere done feloniously and with malice forethought. The Clawsons wore bound over for examination at the police court. The Journal says that the cruel tilling of the child has but ono parallel " .ii . the history of Nebraska. In Good. Spirit * T.
