THE gist of Mr. Frolinghuyson'a
dispatch on the Olayton-Bulwer
treaty is that the instrument is void
became England has violated its pro
visions. The agreement forbade both
Great Britain and the United States
from extending their power in Cen
tral America , and England in incrocs-
ing her possessions in Honduras
broke the compact. This argument is
fortified by transpositions from Mr.
Elaine's former dispatch. The docu
ment boars numerous earmarks of
its author , and is decidedly inferior to
Secretary Blaino's able slate paper on
the same subject.

BEORKTAUY FOLOKU is fully convinced
vincod that the story of the forgers
Doyle and Brockway , regarding th
theft of a genuine bond plate from the
i treasury department is only an ingenious
, ious attempt to escape the punishmon
of their crime. Impressions taken
from the plate hayo been instantly
detected as counterfoils by a numbo
of exports , the vignette is said to b
from an entirely diflerent die , ant
Koveral distinguishing marks clearly
oparato the pretended genuine plat
from the originals. The public wil
bo greatly relieved to learn the truth
If Doyle's story is true , the manage
ment of the bureau of printing am

gent , and there ia no knowledge o
bow many millions of spurious bond

market The surest ovidenoo of th

These iiauea have covered a period o
nearly twenty years , and in the nuin
ber of ( hose bonds and of the variou

iereit coupons attached to the bonds
there has never been an instance o
the presentation of a duplicate , which
would have been Inevitable in the can
of forgery or counterfeit.
THE TOWNSEND HIM ,
After months of delay the hous
commiUoo on commerce has roportc <
to Congress a bill for the regulation o
intor-stnto commerce. This moasur
which was drafted by Mr. Townsend
of the Standard Oil Company , pro
vides a commission of three men to d <
the work with salaries of $7,500 i
year. They are to bo under the con
trol of the Secretary of the Interior
and their duties nre staled t <
bo the collection of testimonj
in regard to railroad obusei
their submission to congress , and tin
collation of such facts in regard to thi
roads as will enable congress to legislate
late intelligently. The bill furthoi
provides that , any or either of tin
commissioners shall have power ir
any investigation to summon wit
nesses , administer oaths , take tostl
mony and direct the production ol
> ooks and papers , and contracts re
nting to the subject of complaint ,
md judges of United Stales district
ind circuit courts are directed cithot
n or out of term time to compel the
ttondanco of witnesses before the
ommission. Further provision is
nado that the board shall have power
0 call on common carriers for reports
f all ratoa and shall report to con-
rots all cases of .excessive rates ,
liargcs and discriminations which
omo to its knowledge. The commis-
ion is to bo appointed by the prcsi-
ont , by and with the consent of the
cnato and is to hold office for five
ears.
At the opening of the present sea-
on of congress both bodies of the na-
onal legislature were flooded with
icmorials calling for the regulation
E interstate commerce by the govern-
icnt. E/ory state and territory in
rhich the abuses of corporate inonop-
lies had aroused the indignation of
atrons of the railroads waa represent-
d in these memorials which doinand-
d from congress statutory regulation
[ commerce between the states. No
: sa than thirteen bills and resolutions
roro introduced on the floor of the
ouso. Of this number seven were
loasurcs trained by friends of the
roduoing classes whooo object was to
{ ford prompt relief from the evils of
rhich the country complained. Chit f
mong this claes waa the Reagan bill ,
lampioncd by the members from
'exas which struck at the root of the
'hole matter by defining and prohibit-
ig railroad abuses and providing
oavy penalties for extortion and dis-
rimination on the part of the mon-
polies. The remaining six were
ills drafted by railroad attorneys
1 the interest ot their employers.
'hoy1 were introduced to complicate
iscussion and befog thoao mombetsof
engross whoso opinions on the sub-
cot of railroad legislation had not
eon previously determined by cor *
oration influence or practical cxpe-
ionco as shippers or producers with
10 flagrant * abuses of monogoly rule.
The house committee on commerce ,
o whom the whole subject was coin-
aittcd , was packed in the interest of
lie monopolies. A. majority of its
nombors were either directly in the
mploy of great corporations , or were
mgagcd in business which depended
or its successful transaction upon fa-
lott from the railroads. Under these
nrcumatancos it waa unreasonable to
jxpoct any report which would
meet the demands of antl-monopolist !
or which promised to afford immiv
dlato relief to the producing classes ol
the country. The Townsend bill is i
sop thrown by the monopolies to the
public. It is skilfully drafted to avoid
any interference by Congress with the
privileges of the corporations or an ]
immediate redress of the abuses undoi
which the people are suffering. Bj
the very constitution of the commis
sion it is powerless to apply a remedy ,
It's duties are simply that of a buroat
of statistics. Its mdmbors when ap
pointed will draw handsome solaria
for printing a few volumei
of tables and reports annually whic !
will bo of no practical benefit oithc :
to Congress or the people which i
represents. Thcro is no need of i
commission to inform the public o ;
the gross outrages which are dailj
being practiced upon a population o
hf ty millions by an unprincipled sot o
corporation cormorants and stocl
jobber * . For ton years the prosi
has teemed with the complaints of tin
victims of the monopoly robbera. Thi
subject lias boon brought befori
legislatures and upon the showiup o
facts measures have boon passed ti
remedy the evils so far as they coulc
be reached by local legislation
Boards of trade and chambers of commerce
merco throughout the country , asso
ciationa composed of mon whosi
names are suiliciont guarantees of theii
sound judgment and honesty -havi
earnestly urged upon congress tin
necessity for the prompt action. Am
now as in the case of the cry for re
form in the tariff the demands of thi
people have been mot by the creatioi
of a commission whoso chief duty wil
bo to postpone all action , The producers
ducors of the United States and tin
patrons of the railroads need ex pec
no relief from a body of mon whosi
power ttops short at the more hearinj
and registering of their complaints
but who cannot enforce honest doalinj
between the railroads and the pub
Ho , or apply a remedy for the evil
which ore brought before their no
ticp.There
There is little likelihood that thi
bill will pass at the present scssior
although the monopoly kings ac
nounco themselves as satisfied of il
harmlossncss. So far OR the public i
concerned it might as well havn die
a natural death in the committe
room.
Tna iron masters nro protected i
their business by a tax ranging fror
45 to 00 per cent. Their great argti
mont for its maintenance is that 0
per cent of the cost of production goo
to incccaso the wages of American la
bor. The Chicago Tribune has booi
examining the census tables and dis
covers that the average wages paid ii
the iron milts fall far short of thos
which might bo assumed from th
mill owners statements to bo the ordi
nary wages paid to workmen in thes
establishments. The average wage
; > aid to ordinary workmen doca no
oxcocd $7. CO per week , and to sktlloc
mechanics does not roach $1C po :
week of sixty-five hours labor. In
stood of the sum paid for wages roach
ng 00 par cent of the product at
stated by John Roach , it is actually
CBS than 19 per cant of the value ol
ho product. This may seem to ox-
> lain why the stool rail monopoly wore
ast year enabled to shove away $2-
000,000 as the profits from a littloovei
.wo millions of capital , and it may
urthor Horvo as an index of the basis
f the demands of the iron men in their
> roaoui strike.
THE mooting of the Republican
> tate Central Committee , which is
ailed for July G , will bo of unusual
ntorcst. The division of the state
nto congressional diatricts nccosai-
atco a now departure. Aa long aa
Nebraska had but ono congressman ,
lis nomination waa made by delegates
representing the entire state at con-
ontiona called to nominate state
flicers.
Now that the otato is divided into
ongrcssional districts , each district
will make its own nominations at
onvontiona within the district. These
ongrcssional conventions will name
lioir district committees , empowered
o call future conventions , and to do-
.crmino the ratio of representation of
ach county in their district.
But there is as yet no such commit-
co , and wo take it that the state con-
ral committee will have to sot the
machinery in motion for calling the
ongrcssional conventions. How far
io committee will go in this matter
will bo determined when its members
mvo compared viows. The assertion
a made in some quarters that the
bate committee boa no authority to
meddle with the congressional norni-
ating conventions , and it is sug-
osted that the chairmen of the
urifius county committees in each
istrict shall correspond or put their
loads together and agrco upon a joint
all designating the iimo and place
f holding conventions and the relative
oprosontation to which each county
a entitled.
Such an arrangement might aorvo the
lurposo if the state committee ( should
take no action , or if it had purposely
delayed its call and thereby sought tc
> rovont a timely expression by the
> arty through its primaries and con
ventions. Now that the state central
committee is called it is not likely thai
any local committee will attempt tc
forestall its action.
THE July Ucntwy will contain an
entertaining paper by Oolonel Qoorgc
E. Waring , reviewing Stillman's recently <
contly published work on "Tho Horse
in Motion , " and reproducing many oi
the photographs taken at the private
race-course of Governor Leland Stan
ford , of California , by Mr. Muybridgo
a photographer of San Francisco. Il
ia said that the consecutive positions ol
the legs in the stride of a running horst
as revealed by those pictures seen
ludicrous , and almost impossible. Thi
testimony of the zoetropo , has , however
over , silenced all criticism , and Mr ,
Muybridgo's public and private representations
sontations , hero and abroad , have beer
received with the highest favor. Ai
some of his lectures in London , tin
Prince of Wales and other momburi
of the royal family were among th <
interested listeners. It ia said thai
Moissonicr has recently modified t
painting to conform to Mr. Muy
bridge's theory as revealed by thosi
pictures ,
The method by which the photo
graphs have boon taken the result o
years of experiments is subsequently
as follows : At ono side of the traol
is a long building arranged for photo
graphic work , containing a battery ol
twenty-four cameras , all alike , ant
standing a foot apart. On the othoi
side of the track is a screen of whitt
muslin and a foot-board. The scrooi
ia marked with vertical ana horizunta
lines , and the foot-board bean
numbers indicating separate in
torvala of ono foot each. Thi
instantaneous shutters of the camera ;
are operated by electricity , and thoii
movement is governed by such power
ful springs that the exposure is esti
mated to bo about ono fivo-thousandtl
of a second , The contact by whicl
the shuttora are sprung is in ado by thi
breaking of a thread drawn across thi
track at about the height of the horao'i
breast , there being ono thread for oacl
camera. In his flight through the air
therefore , ho brings each of thi
twenty-four cameras to bear upon hin
at the moment when ho passes in rou
of it , and that camera represents hi
position at that insiant. The scrie
of representation indicates the consecutive
secutivo positions of each of the twen
ty-four foot covered by the instru
ments. In a serica showing a horsi
trotting at speed , the spokes of thi
sulky are shown aa distinct lines quitt
to the lolloo of the wheel , indicating
an extremely short exposure. In i
fast run , the tufta of the horso'a tail ,
as it waves with his strides are clear ) ]

Railroad building in the United
States presents some very significant
features. For the first time , perhaps ,
in the history of Una important factor
of modern advoncomont , the southern

DAVID CITY'Nob. , Juno 12,1882.
Our httlo city is quiet business not
ushing , which is not unusual at this
ieason of the year. Our farmers are
> usy in their fields , and crops of
every kind never looked BO promising
as now. When the crop ia harvested
and begins to move then all will find
ilonty to do.
This section of the political sea is
calm , but only the calm , which reitms
lofore the storm. The anti-monopoly

Correspondence of the Bee.
"Louisvillo twenty minutes fo
breakfast , " shouted the little conduc
tor with n big voice , aa the Missoui
Pacific train came to n standstill. A
a ride from Omaha to Louisville
Neb. , before six o'clock a. m. ia a gooi
appetizer , the passengers did not wai
fora second invita.ion , but made i
rush for the door , with a dctormina
tion to make good use of the twent ;
minutes. Otving to a heavy rain ant
the failure of the railroad comnauy ti
put down planking , they were obligee
to alight in mud , ankle deep , whicl
caused spmo to give vent to oxprcs
sions quito forcible , aa they thought o
the ton conta worth of shoo blacktnj
ruined. The hungry were soon Batia
Sod and on the road again , but thi

The coming celebration wns thi
principal theme of conversation , am
thn reporter was not long in ascertain
ing that Louisville la to have a gram
time on the fourth of July. The
young moc. are not only patriotic , bui
enterprising oa well , and are resolved
; hat the anniversary of our national
ndepondonco shall not past unob
served by them. A committee hat

Hoover , J. V. Glover , H. W. Jmk
md Phil Hubar , These gentlemen
mvo charge of the affair and are leav-
ng nothititr undone that will make it
i success. Quito a largo sum of money
mo already been subscribed for the
lurchaso of fire-works. It is the in-
ontion to have the very best speaker
hat can bo obtained , but the commit-
oo has not decided aa yet upon whom
t shall be. Parties wishing to visit a
iloasant town and at the aamo time
'hold the fourth" will do well to atop
it Louisville.
The town ia steadily improving and
i number of now buildings are going
up. The contract for a now school
IOUBO has been let at $2,300. It will
10 well constructed and furnished in
good stylo. Mr. F. Stanaer is put-
ing up a substantial building of otono
Hid brick. He has not informed the
mblio as to what use ho will muko of
t but it is generally understood that
t will bo a bank , and that it will be
jacked by Mr. F. Slander and his
> rothor. If such is th e case it will bo
ano of the moat solid and reliable in-
titutions of the kind in the county.

The Methodists of Louisville are
iroparing to build a now church. At
iresont they hold services in tlio Bap-
1st church , which is without a minis
ter. The Baptist Sunday school is in
a flourishing condition , and is no
doubt doing a great deal of good in
the community. The echnol has
already raised $75 towards the pur
chase of an organ.
Louisville does not make aa much
show as some towns , but its progress is
steady and will ba permanent. The
completion of the Missouri Pacific , iu
addition to the Burlington & Mis
souri , will furnish ample railroad fa-
c'litiea. It draws the trade of the
'armera from a largo section of the
surrounding country. Upon the
whole , the future prospects of Louis-
v llo are exceedingly gjod.

do just what you tell 'cm to do. I
you had a lot of tin ficuros in fron
and a streak of mercury up you :
spine , you'd only need a shoot-iror
case and a wire handle to be a bir
oinotcr ! If you'll look along you :
measly information about the woathei
p'rap you'll find that overcoat at tin
other end of ill Where's that coat
Going to lot mo stand hero and seal
while the moths picnic that coat intt
a shad not ? Take mo by the clbon
and load mo to the coatl" and Mr
Spoopondyko tipped the sofa over sc
that ho could BOO under it , and ther
slapped n plaster bust of Minorvi
against the wall , under the imprcssior
that the coat might have crawled into
lior car.
"It's the strangest thing in tin
worldl" giglod Mrs. Spoopondyko ,
hysterically. "Aro you tuns you
were it homo ? "
"If I did't how would it got home ? '
roared Mr. Spoopendyko , putting his
bands on his kneca and grinning in
bia wife'a face. "S'poso it hired a
back aud drove homo ? Oh , no ! I
didn't wear it homo. The last I saw
if it it had its hat over its oar and a
female natorproof on ita arm , piking
up Fulton street ns happy as an alder
man's funeral. What'rp yo standing
.hero for ? Got aomo indistinct idea
: hat the dog-pasted coat haa gene to
? pt shaved , haven't ye ? ' Who'd yo
; ivo it to ? Boon endowing a meta
physical chair in aomp kind of an old
voman'a homo with it , haven't yo ?
Whcro'a Iho coat ? Develop the coat
joforo I vitiate the insurance ! " and
\Ir. \ Spoopendyko kicked his wife's
workbasket across the room and ram
med his arm to the shoulder up the
chimney.
"Do you remember whore you were
t last ? " aakod Mrs. Spoopondyko ,
uddenly becoming calm and analyti
cal.
cal."I
"I were it on my back ! " protested
VIr. Spoopondyke , who didn tromom-
> nr whether ho had taken it to church
or to a hospital. "Mybo you'ro under
; ho impression that I tied it to a stick
and wheeled It along on the buttons !
) n my back , I tell ye ! On this par-
iculaf back ! " and Mr. Spoopondyke
ft'mwst broke his arm pointing out the
attraction referred to. ' 'Most folka
it up their rubber overcoats with a
tent wire and a focus and wear them
or spectacles , but I hadn't time ; so
' . were ic on my back ! Bring forth
he coat ! ' ' yelled Mr. Spoopondyko ,
pinning around like a top. "Fetch
out the measly coat before the proprie-
or of these premises niikea up his
mind "hetliorlio'll build a houio hero
or mortgage the lot ! "
"You were it the last day it rained ,
and when it cleared off in the after
noon I noticed that you had on your
pring overcoat , " said Mrj. Spoopun-
, yke quietly.
"Great head ! " grunted Mr. Spoop-
mdyke , beginning to feel uncotnforta-
) lo , and wondering how it was cora
ng out. "With your perceptive
acuities and meterological education ,
ouonly need ono more leg nnii a
ilear night to bo a dod gasted street
; eloscope at 10 centa a" peep ! What of
t ? > 'SposoLdid ' wear a spring over
coat ! It'a spring , ain't it ? "
"And I don't know , " continued
Mra. Spoopendyko , "but I think you
md it on over your waterproof. If
rou'll look , you may find the rubber
coet inside of the other now. "
Mr. Spoopendyke growled and
anortcd hia way to the closet , like a
oghorn and found things aa hia wife
lad predicted ,
"Smart , ain't yo ? " ho grumbled , as
10 hauled out the waterproof , "Groat
) owera of inductive reaaoning ! 'Some
day I'm going to fit you up with a stiff
neck and a pot of beans and start a
Concord school of philosophy with
you ! "
And with this threat Mr. Spoopen
dyke threw the coat over hia arm ,
and all the way to Coney Island he
entertained hia friend Specklowottlo
with a description of hisshabits of or
der , "which aio so perfect , sir , that I
could put my thumb on anything I
ranted , sir if my wife would only lot
; hinga alone. "
The term hydra imay be used to
roprraont any manifold evil. If you
would battle tuccossfully with this
many-headed monster of disease you
will find it expedient to keep Mrs.
? inkhatn's Vegetable Compound
always at hand. Jr. Banning.
