Mr. Townsend is the mouthpiece of the Standard Oi monopoly , and any inter-state com Moroo bill ho recommends will afford no redress from the abuses which tin aanutry desires to abolish.

Last year , will only a single candidate in the field , , the independents polled 50,000 votes , and there is every indication that thoj will poll from 80.000 to 100,000 votoi next November.

It is a question whether the smut lies moro in Whit- Mau'fl productions or the mind of the reader. There are certain aubjooti which art hesitates to'treat oven artis- -.iioilly , and certain relations which are totter hinted at than elaborated in the bold detail of the Oamdon . poet. There" is a much difference be * * * tw9n the treatment of the nude in jttt , and Whitman eeerns entirely ig- Saoflint of the galf which yawns bo und i LOOK TO THE RECORDS. The voters of Nebraska have bc < afforded an unusual oppoitunity dung \ng the two sessions of the prcsoi legislatures to judge of the size fit quality of the political timber of tl state. Questions of the highest in portanco to Iho present and future ii forests of the atato have been undi discussion at the capital. Subjco involving principles upon which thai can only bo two sides , n rigl side and n wrong cido , have been di bated nnd forced to nn isouo in hot houses of the legislature. Willing ! or unwillingly the men elected by tl ; people of the nlnto to represent the : wishes and voice their , demands hav boon compelled to place thcmsolvc on the record bcforo their constituent and before the onttro poaplo of Ni braslcn , whom they roproscntoa in n Ices degree , The regular session of last year wi interesting chielly on account of th determined efforts made by the me nnpolies to prevent legislation on th railroad question. In this they wet lidod by n venal lieutenant govorno nnd all the influence of the stat bousa ring. Committees were packo with monopoly tools ; n strong lobb lillcd the hotels and nbly Ecconde the efforts of such hireling member of the legislature as Gore in thosonat i.nd Church Ho wo in the house. N itono was loft unturned to influonc rotes by passes , contracts and mono ; The attorney of the Union FociM swears to four men on the ground i the interests of his corporation for th purpose of "preventing railroad logu lotion. " There will bo no difiorono of opinion among honest men as t the moaning of the expression. In the light of the revelations of th extra session , Nebraska voters will d well to look to the records of the ! senators and representatives in th lost legislature. A largo majority c these men were elected upon stron pledges as to the policy which the ; wcro to pursue. The wishes of thei constituents were well known an oleraly expressed. There waa n ground for doubt so far as they wer concerned in the questions at i esuc Their duty was plain. How did the perform it ! This is the question fc the votorb of Nebraska to answer. Wo are about entering upon th moat important campaign in the hit story of the stato. A full state ticket throe congressman , and a legislatur which will elect a United States Bonn tor to succeed Senator Sauuders , is t bo clcetod. Many of the members o the last legislature have politics ispirations which they will ask thoi x > nstituonta to endorse. Others wil ippoal for the approval of the entir itato. Such endorsement and ap proval must carry with it ai indorsement of past political aor nccs. What is the record of these men Upon the record every candidate fo ? ubho offlco must'stand or fall. Thi > nly light in politics by which to vet ntolligently is the light of experience [ n the coming campaign every candi late for public office must bo woighcc n the balance with his record Promises are cheap and platforms an sinpty. It is acts that toll. Thi rptors of Nebraska have tried botl md found both wanting.

For this is tlu > nly safe rule by which to judge ol .ho fitness of any representatives o : the popular will. _ PoSTMAfiTEK QENEUAI.

It is time that cor grcss should recognize the debt whic the nation owes to its press - a dot second only to that which is duo t our public school system.

To the Editor of The Dec : Pleaao give your readers the corroc boundaries of the three congroesionc districts , as tixcd by recent act of th legislature. SunscuiiiER. The three congressional district into which Nebraska has boon divide are bounded as follows : The first coin prises the counties of Douglas , Sarpy Cass , Otoo , Nomaha , Richardson Pawnee , Gage , Johnson , Lancasto and Saundcrs. The second distric embodies the counties of Jefferson Saline , Seward , Butler , Polk , York Hamilton , Clay , Filmore , Thayoi Nuckols , Adams , Kearney , Webster Franklin , Harlan , Phelps , Furnaa Gospor , Frontier , Bed Willow Hitchcock , Hayes , Chase and Dandy The third district comprises th counties of Antelope.

Geographically the firs district covers the double tier o counties bordering on the Missoui river from the northern boundary o Douglas county t * the Kansas Btati lino. The second district comprise ! all the territory south of the Platt river , and west of the counties o Saunders , Lancaster , Gage , Johnsoi nnd Pawnee. The third district cover all of Nebraska north of the Platte except Douglas and Sarpy counties The population of the first district according to the national census ol 1880 , is 171,000 , while the soeonc district contains a population of about 145,000 , and the third district ' 130 , 000. FITH years ago charges of briber ; wore under investigation agains Church Howe in the upper house o the legislature , of which Howe wa then a member. Tko committee wa packed in the interest of Howe , am the outcome was a whitewashing re port. The committee was made up o & notorious brace of tailroad cappers nhiof among whom was E. 0. Carns Ihe charge against Howe was that hi bad received a3,000 bribe during thi sanatoria ! election of 1875 for hit rote for J. N. H. Patrick. Ghurcl Howe had supported Patrick fron first to las * , and was in corrupt col lusion with other members , who , how ivor , returned the bribe money whoi she scheme to elect Patrick failed while Church Howe refused to disgorge The testimony was very damaging , md when the ptosccution wua about , o introduce evidence that would mvo convicted Howe , his bosort 'riond Cams moved an adjournment if the committee sine die , and closed bo doors against further criminating > rcof. Ono good turn always deserves mother , and Church Howe has done or Carns what Cams had done for him Ivo years ago. COL. R. J. INOEILSOLL has boon BO- ectod as the orator to deliver the Decoration Day address at the Acad- .my of Music in New York. The 'act that Bob was chosen over 150 mblio speakers who made application 'or the honor shows that Bob's ideas if hell do not affect the estimation in rhich ho is held as America's most > rilliant orator. WK had a very pleasant call yoster- lay from Hon. George W. Brown , of leone county , n member of the louse. Mr. Brown , at the regular lossion allowed himself possessed of ho qualifications and knowledge vhioh combined to make up a good 'opresontativo. During the recint ixtra sessivn Mr. Brown frequently iskod the attention of the house , but lover without having sotno good ouiid words to utter in support of the > est measures for the preservation of aw and order. The constituents of Hr. Brown certainly make no mistake u sending such a man to our legialu- uro. Omaha Republican. BEE has uo call of the Hon. 3eo. W.

Mr , Brown'o [ ualification for a represent. tivo in the late legislature 1 which The Republican speaks BO pprovingly , consisted of voting on very question with the monopolies , nd indulging in valiant grades of the Jartlott Btamp against the faborera of he stato. Although elected by a trong onti'inonopoly constituency , Ir , Brown has boon a consistent and onsidorato tool of the corporations , nd his record on every question rhioh affected the monopolies has icon in direct oppowtlon to the inter- sta of the producers of the state. 'his ' is the Bamo renegade who was ouncod out of the Boone County 'armors' Alliance last year , on the rovon charge of betraying his con stituento.

The amendment to the nations ank bill , which was adopted upoi Tr , Cannon's motion , and which Mr landall tried to defeat , will attrao onsidorablo attention before the bil eoomos a law. This umondmon rovides that banks having a capita f $150,000 or less shall not be ro uired to deposit moro than 810,001 s security for their circulating notes fader existing law banks of $150,00 ( apital must deposit at least $50,00 ( i bonds to secure circulation and tin linimum amount of bonds to bo do ositod by any bank is $30,000 , foarly fourteen hundred bonks have capital of $150,000 or loaf , and wil 0 nffuctud by thU amendment. Oi lie two hundred and ninoty'Bovei anks whoso charters expire on Fob jary 25 , 1883 , no less than ono hun- Jed and seventy-five have a capita f $150,000 or less , and in almost very case those banks have deposited 10 maximum amount of bonds re uired , and taken the maximum mount of circulation allowed. Near ! ) 11 the banks of $50,000 capital seen : 1 have taken the maximum circula < on ( $45,000) ) , inasmuch as the profit n circulation is almost nothing. II > to bo expected that the small banki ill take advantage of the privilege lorded by this amendment if it be- ) mos a law. Not ono of them will o required to deposit more than $10 , . 30 in bonds. It is estimated that 10 banks afflicted by the amendment wo from $75,000,000 to $100,000 , .

When supporting his amendment , ir. Cannon said lie had no doubt iat some banks would reduce their rculation to the minimum , but he felt assured that a sufficient 'numb of now banks would bo organized make up the loss in circulation , only n few banks should take adva tngo of Iho amendment this might 1 true , but it will bo scon that sorer thousand now banks would bo noodt to fill up the gap if the greater pa of the existing email banks should r duce their circulation to the inin mum. It is said , however , that tti dcr the amendment a latgo numb of small banking institutions in tl west will come into the national oy tcm. It is expected that the unna will amend the house bill by puttii in a claueo that will compel ban ! who shall give ninety days' notice > intention to withdraw circulation carry out that intention. This add tional provision is regarded as a vei important ono. Tbo Army or ITranco. Till Mill Garotte. The French army furnishes an i teresting example of the growth military forces in modern times at the effect of compulsory general aor ice in the ranks. Twonty-two yea ago Lord Palmerston , when danglii French armaments before the house commonB to frighten members in the fortification vote , stated th Franco had an army of 600,000 moi of whom 400,000 wore under arn and the rest could bo ready in a for night. In 1870 the force placnd i line on the Gorman frontier amountc to only about 250,000 men. Afti the great crash thorn was i traduced compulsory goner service , tempered by volunteer ! instead of conscription , nith thopoi er of buying substitutes , and an o ganizationwas laid down by which tl French republic could now place tl first line at the commencement of war nearly 800,000 men , with aboi half as many behind to supply caaun ties. And this is irrespective of tl "territorial army , " which will garr son fortresses and guard lines of con munication. The law granted contingent of 158,000 conscripts 1 create thin huge force and to supp about 8,000 men for the navy ; but i give five yeara' training to the who contingent would bo too heavy a bu don ou the budget. Hence arose tt necessity for shortening censiderabl the service of a largo portion of tl recruits ; and this was done in tn ways. First , a door of escape wi opened , as in the German arm ; tb young men of education by ti system of "ono year volunteers , Youths who could pass certain exam nations , or who hold cor tain diploma were permitted to volunteer for or year , paying a considerable portion < fheir expenses. They might oven I discharged at the end of six months they had done their military wor well and received certificates of qual fication as non-commissioned officer The second relief was by sending t their homes on furlough a oonaido ; able portion of the contingent after short training , and even without an training at all. They were soldiei liable to be called out for service , an would at once join the depots in cas of war. Of them there would alwaj be more than 140,000 in the fiv yeara' service , which supposes near ! 30,000 men untrained each yon out of the 150,000 recruits. Ther iaa long been a question how to ge these 30,000 men trained withou adding to the budget , and the favoi ito plan has boon to decrease th nominal tlruo of service with the eel ore for all. Neglecting causualtie and also a certain permanent fore which we need not describe , the fiv years rule would give at any tira with the colors five contingent ! , o 'clasae ? , " as they are called , of 150 , 300 each that is , 750,000 men fa xo high a figure for the peace armj whereas a three yeara rule would giv only three classes , or 450,000 men manageable nuinbor. Land Ownership. St. Louis Republican. Although the Bubject of land own ership in thia country is destitute c ; ho great significance it possesses i Europe , and will remain BO as long a nillions of acres are purchasable a i > l 25 to $5 cer acre , Btill the censu report gives some facts in this connec ion that are not without interest. W earn from ii that there are only thro state * in the Unien that have greater number of farms than Mis aouri. Illinois has 255,671 ; Nei York has 241,058 ; Ohio has 247,180 nnd Missouri has 215,575. Mis ouri IP , therefore , ono o ho leading agricultural states uid its farm interst is entitled to al he consideration that can possibly bi iccordod to it. Again , there are onlj hreo states that show a greater in ireaso in the number of farms fron 1870 to 1880 than Missouri. Kansoi hews an increase of 99,750 farms ir he decade ; Alabama , G8 582 ; Georgia J8G70 ; Missouri , 67,247. Noarlj yo.Bixtha of tha 138,581 farms ir Kansas were opened in the decadi rom 1870 to 1880 , a result of thi leavy immigration to the stati n that period. Missouri ad d 88,311 i farms from 185 ( , o 1800. B5,530 from 1800 to 1870 , md 67,247 from 1870 to 1880-th ( argost increase being in the last do lade and that , too , although Mis ouri ia the oldest atato west of the ttississippi. This shows that our tate is increasing in population , voalth and general agricultural do- olopment at a rate surpassed by neither ither old state in the west , and bj ow in the Union. It is gratifying tc ibaorvo that nearly all the southern tateBBhow a large increase in the lumber of their farms in the last locade. Georgia added 68,070 to he number eho already had ; Alabama , i8,582 ; Arkansas , 45,009 ; Florida , 3,197 ; Kentucky , 48,031 ; Louis- ana , 19,811 ; Mississippi , 33,749 ; forth Carolina , 64,044 ; South Caro- ma , 41,957 ; Virginia , 44,608. In iouth Carolina wo find the largest iroportions of farms occupied by enters , 51 per cent ; in Georgia and llabama , 46 per cent ; in Delaware nd Mississippi , 43 per cent ; in Illi- ioia , 31 per cent ; in Louisiana , 35 ier cent ; in Missouri , 27 per cent. ] ho Northern states that show a con- iderablo Increase in the number of mall farms of twenty acres and under re Ohio , Pennsylvania , New York , Jounecticut aud.lfobraska : the ones n the south that Show such increase ro Alabama , Georgia. Maryland , forth Carolina and Virginia. Many tales show a decrease in the number f such farms Missouri , 16,006 ; In- iana , 0,472 ; Iowa , 4,869 ; Hanson , ,008 ; Maine , 5,649 ; Michigan , 12748 ; Wisconsin , 11,046 ; Arkansas , 4,35 ! Mississippi , 3,628. In Europe a d crease in thonumber of small fatn _ would bo a sign of the absorption < land by largo proprietors ; but in th country r- has no such significanci Land in the west is so abundant nn cheap that twenty ncro farms are nc thought of ; the poorest farmer wan at toast 100 acres. WYMORE. Ita Pnat , Present and Future. Corro ponilf nee of The Boo. WTMOUR , Neb. , May 24.--At lai our people have decided to manag their own affair ? , and not oubin longer to the dictum of the one-ma power. Last week a hand-bill at poarod on the street announcing the wo would celebrate the anniversary c our town on Sunday , May 21 , an giving the names of these who woul speak. Upon investigation it wj found that ono Murdock , without coi suiting the parties whoso uomoa wei placed upon the programme , and the being ministers , objected to having jollification on the Sabbath. A pul lie meeting was called for Wednosda evening to consider the matttor. Th meeting was largely attended , * n unanimously decided to celebrate o Monday , the 22d. Committees woi appointed and the programme a : ranged. The mooting was hold in Wymoi Park , and was attended by a larg number of people from Blue Spring and surrounding country. The schoo , were given a holiday , and the chi drcn made the woods ring with thoi merry voices. Music was furnished by the W ] moro Musical Association and the I and M. band Rev. J. R.

Ai opera house , several substantial bricl business buildings , a new depot am hundreds of residences are now it process of construction. A street car line from the Wymnri depot to Blue Springs , is ono of thi agitated public improvements , anc will undoubtedly bo built at no distant day. A school building we must have this season , and a church building ii now being erected , and others onlj wait tor the subscription paper to be passed around. So many of our people are no'w corner * to the state that wo have hard ly dinned the political war paint a ! yet , but those wishing political favpn from Gage county will do well to give the southern half some consideration for wo have in our town men who have been political wheel-horses at their old homes.
