The ma jority of common sense , practical wo men in the state are too busy at pres ent in attending to their domestic du ties to pay much attention to the spasmodic shrieks of the chronic woman's rights agitators. The woman's euOr.igo campaign needs galvanizing very badly. The pre < have become sick of the subject and the pcoplo oven sicker. The mothers and sisttrs who wcto granted the right to vote at school elections very unanimously decided that they preferred ferrod the parlor to the hallr , and the late convention at Lincoln failed to muster a corporal's guard. Under those circumstances it is not at al surprising that the American Woman's Suffrage association have sent Mrs Oiimpoll to the rescue. Wo are free to confess that wo don't know who Mrs. Campbell is or what rank aho holds among the high priestesses o the nil/Turing / sisterhood , but Nebraska offurs her an excellent field to achieve glory.

Valentino from Nebraska , reports that the manner ir which his Btato has been redistricted Is m 3st satisfnotary to him. Hu will hereafter reside in the Third Nebras ka district. Ex-Senator Paddock stated that Judge Valentino would bo nominated by acclamation , and that the rodistrtoting of Nebraska will bo the moans of destroying numerous factions that have heretofore existed. Chicago Times. Ex'Senator Paddock is not a very reliable political weather prophet. He predicted that Nebraska would bo solid for Grant two years ago but she sent a'olid delegation to Chicago for Blaino. Mr. Paddock predicted that ho would bo ro-oloctod to the Bonnie on rho first ballot , but after thirty-six ballots the legislature elected Gon. Van Wyck. What the senator says about destroying the numerous factions is all bosh. There are only two factions in Nebraska , the railroad corporations and their retainers on the ono side and the people of the state upon the other. These factions will continue until the corporate monopolies with draw from the political field and allow the people to govern themselves. The manner in which the state was rodistriotod may bo most satisfactory to Valentino , but ho will discover be fore three months roll round that the Third Nebraska district is not a third term district. TUB principle at stake in the recant struggle at Washington over the con' ' tested elections was a simple but im portant one , viz , whether or not a parliamentary body is the solo judge of the eligibility of Its own members , and whether in the determination of that question the voice of the major ity shall rule. A ton days contest with partisan obstruction has settled the question and resulted in the seating of throe republicans and ono green- backer , and the ousting of an aqual number of democrats. The hrdlnoss with which election cases are adjusted is attracting well deserved comment. At the opening of congress twenty-two claimants for seats appealed for a recognition of their rights. Nearly six months elapsed before the Oampbell-Oannon : aso was decided. Reports have been made to the house in seven coses , and nine .are yet pending in committee. I'hls delay is a grave injustice to the Individuals directly concerned. It is i still graver Injustice t * the constit uents of lawfully elected representa tives deprived of their rights while a minority candidate occupies the scat to which he was not elected , and Irawi pay to what he U not entitled , [ n several instances men , who had no more title to the seat in ; engross than Chalmers , who was kicked oat after voting and epoaklng for six months , have only boon ousted within a few days of the expiration of the session , This uncalled for delay is expensive to the government , An ousted member is generally granted full pay for his services. When the awfully elected contestant is awarded lis seat from which ho has boon do- jarred ho is given a sum equal to tbo mlary which ho would have drawn from the beginning of the session if ; here had been no contest. And if a jontcstant has been unsuccessful con- jroBs defrays the expenses of his coji- : eat. The consideration of contested ileotion cases ought to bo made the irst business of congrets after its or ganization. It is duo to all parties ioncorned that the determination ihould bo made as quickly as possible. [ t is duo to the government , which low pays two salaries and in addition ifton gives a bonus to disappointed md unsuccessful claimants without a ihadow of right on the side of their petition. Ov Moses Summers , whose fatal mrt in Now York has olicltiul BO much ympathotio remark , the Jtfmtro Ad- < crtitf says ; "At the call of his louutry ho throw down' the editorial ion to take the sword. " This is high- y figurative. Mr. Summer's cominis- ion was that of paymaster , and hough ho may have kept his accounts nth a sword it is rather improbable. t is safe to say that all the wounds he ivor hitllclod were given with a steel ion.

Tbo Farmuro' Alliance uncl Politics. 8enrd Reporter. Many papers of the monopoly stripe throughout the state are continually howling about the Farmers' Alliancu and its connection with politics , assorting that the Alliance properly has nothing to do with politics , and should confine its work to matters of farm interests alone. Ono would im agine , from the tone of thcso papers , that the farmers have nothing to do with politics , and have no interest in the propir administration of public aQaira. The business of the farmer , as these monopoly orgitis would seem to indicate , is simply to raise corn and wheat , breed hogs and cattle , and let the self-sacrificing individuals who run thoio newspapers , look after the political interests of the country. The Alliance meetings are regarded by this class of men as a harmless kind of amusement for agriculturists to engape in , so long as they discuss nothing but the best stock of cattle to breed , the amount of grain to sow on an acre , and kindred subjects ; but the moment the farmers begin to talK , in the Alliance meetings , of the exorbi tant rates which they have to pay to got their produce to market , and try to devise some plan to curb the extor tions of the railroads , these mon kold up their hands in holy horror , and cry'out that the Alliance ia being sub verted from its original purpose and made a political organisation. These papers call themselves "friends of the tanners , " and they cannot sit idly by while the farmers neglect their legiti mate business and talk of how to save a part of their crops from the oxtor tioiia of the monopolies. No , they cannot , because if they did , the mo nopolies would withdraw their sup port from them and then their occu pation would bo gono. Now , it is patent to any observer , that either the editors of such papers do not know anything of the real pur poses of the Farmers' Alliance , or else that , they are coutrorled by the monopoly politicians. The Alliance was instituted to enable farmers to act in concert , In order to accomplish any end which might seem to bo for their interest. This would undoubtedly include all matters , connected * with crops , stock , etc. , but does not neces sarily stop thero. There is nothing the constitution of the Alliance , as originally organized , to prevent it from acting as a political organization , or taking cognizance of politics. No Boonor did the farmers come together and exchange ideas , than it was seen that they were all of one mind on the subject of the exactions imposed upon them by corporate monopolies. Then , of course , they made an attempt to help themselves , and it is the fear of this attempt prov ing Buccesaful that animates the mono poly organs , the pretended "farmers' friends , " to cry out about the degen eracy of the Alliance into politics The farmers can afford to let thuso fol lows howl ; it is an indication that the cause of ant ! monopoly Is gaining ground , and that the monopolists are In fear of being overthrown. The Farmers' Alliance is doing well to discuss 'politics , and to make itself Felt us a political organization , and the ilay is not far distant when the views it advocates will have to bo incor porated into the platform of every political parly that hopes to succeed. Repreeontaiion of the People. S'ew York1la e. The events of the last week furnish i now illustration of the difficulty of iccuring a faithful * representation of the will of the people in the existing } ondition of politics. The result of the Westbrook investigation and the general character of the legislation of the session which has juot closed were certainly not in accordance with the wishes of the mass of honest and intelligent citizens who constitute thu body politio of this Btato. Influences ivoro constantly brought to bear upon ho legislature which were hostile to , ho highest public interest , and they reached a body of mon who were nero strongly swayed by them than jy a sento of public duty and of ro- iponsibility to the people. There is greater need in these times ban over before of a strict ropresen- atlon of the popular will in all public jodics , Corporations have so grown u power and wealth and are so far controlled by men whoso selfish in terests are in conflict with public and private rights that the people have special need of protection from their encroachments. Corporations engag ed in the business of transportation servo a most useful and valu iblo pur pose , and there ought to be no antag onism between them and the people with whom they have dealings. No body desires to ruin or to cripple them or to prevent their stockholders from deriving a fair profit from their busi ness. But they are controlled by a comparatively small number of men , who ore not content with legit imate gains or willing to bear a fair share of public burdens. In theii efforts to incrcaso their gains nm evade their burdens they are disposed to use all the power that wealth gives them. They concentrate it upon the judiciary when their nbjpcts are to bo secured by its action , and they dirccl it upon the legislature to gain privi leges and immunities or to defeat ro- ttrictivo or coercive measure intcndei to protect the rights of the public. They employ the best legal talent in their service , and they subsidise so far oa they can the men who make a bus iness of politics. Jf the people can fcul no assurance of integrity on the bench or honesty in the legislature , they are certainly in a bad case. Wo have seen a struggle to punish judicial dereliction and puree the bench of dishonor utterly defeated. Wo have aeon the contest of an up right and courageous minority in the legislature in behalf of wise laws and against Corrupt schemes in a largo de gree overborne by the baser elements. Where the interest nnd the wishes of the people havti boon in these contro versies there can bo no mannnr ol doubt. The results are not duo to a dogonotato public sentiment nor a hopeless public indifference , but to the failure of the chosen representa tives of the people to represent them. There are in some communities con siderable masses of voters who through and lack of civic virtue may be used to sustain schemes of public infamy , but in general the body politio is sound. The people want good gov ernment , wlso laws , and upright pub lie dealing , They prefer men of ability , integrity , and Honor in places of public 'trust and responsi bility , and they would vets to put them there if they ercrcised a choice that was neithtr trammeled nor thwarted by other forces than their own apathy and inca pacity. Lot a vote bo taken under conditions that secured a perfect ex pression of the popular will and such men as Roosevelt , Spraguc , Crane , Robb , Morrison , nnd Chapin among the representatives of this city and Brooklyn in the late assembly would receive the fullest assurance of public confidence from their constituents re gardless of party , and the incompe tent and dishonest corruptionists would be overwhelmed with condem nation , and yet to day it is a matter of some doubt which of these classes of men stand the better chance of being again among the nominal representa tives of the people. There is a power at work in our politics which , to a large extent , de feats popular representation. The legislature which adjourned on Friday did not represent the people , and tionce was not faithful to their inter ests or obedient to their will When the people really choose their repre sentatives they will show their prefer ence for men of character , ability and firmness , who cannot be corrupted or swayed from fidelity to public interests , but they will not choose them for any length of time BO long as the irresponsible and unregulated cau cus fcyatom of nominations is allowed . to exist. They must first of all , by some moans ai'curo in dependent candidates , independent either in the method of their nomina tion or in their known character , and having once obtained a really repre sentative body of legislators , they must insist on a permanent , legalized method of selecting candidates by pop ular vote which shall make represen tation secure in the future. ' They can prevent the failure and disgrace of the institution of free government only by exorcising their own power and really choosing the mon who are to make their law's , protect their interests , and vindicate their authority over un worthy officers , if such are discovered in their service.

Rochester is the possessor of the only living salamander now in this country. This wondtrfnl natural curi osity was secured in Japan by Professor ser Henry A. Waid and brought homo under hia person : * ! supervision. The salamander of fublo is ono of the big gest frauds on record. A famous maker once named his safes after the salamander to indicate their indestruc tible composition , but it is to be feared that if they could not endure firomoro readily than the salamander , as he really oxisto , none of their number bor would be found again after a firo. But the very fact that so much romancing has been done about the wonderful endurance of this monster , makes htm an object of unusual in terest. The specimen in question , which was viewed by a Post-Express reporter shortly after its arrival , is called the Gigantic 'Salamander or Steboldia Maxima. It was named in honor of Dr. Von Europe and placed it in a tank at Leyden , where il passed a period of ' many years in'cap tivity. Its length was about a yard , and it ia stated that two specimens were brought oyer at the same time by Dr. Siobold , but thenule unfortu nately killed his intended bride and ate her np , leaving himself to pass the remainder of his lifo in celibacy. It may be stated an a coincidence the Profesbor Ward a'so started from Japan with two aalaminors- mole , the other a female and thai the female in this instance also came to an untimely end on the voyage , But her death was not duo to any can uibaliaty trait in the character of the male , but rather to the fact that the water with which her tub was replen ished upon ono unfortunate occasion ws too warm for her constiution. The sad event took place ono day be fore the steamer landed at San Fran cisco. The survivor measures thirty inches in length , and ia apparently full ; rown. So far from longing for a liath in a fiery furnace , this one can- aot endure even the mildest form of beat or light. When brought from the dark recesses of the cellar in which it is temporarily housed , it creeps into the darkest corner of the tub m which it is confined. It has four legs with rounded to s , which re mind ono of the fingers of the rag- babies in Nast's cartoons. Its tail is long and resembles that of a lizard , and its soft skin is of a pale brown color , withdarkermarkings. Its head Is large and flattened , being wider than any part of itn body. On the fore part of its head it has small dull eyes , which , unlike the jewels in the head of the toad , do not relieve the gen eral ugliness. Its entire body is covered ored with warty excrescences. The irpsout specimen , has not eaton any- hing several weeks , the appetite of lalamauders being very irregular. They fued chiefly on fish , which do- apito thuir sluggish behavior , they are able to catch. They also devour other animal eubstnncea. Both Lydia E.
