accidents ore altogether
too frequent of late to spook well for

of rocklcsenofs and others of neglect.
.Several of these accidents have boon
quite ecrious , and the parties responsi

T.HK Pondloton bill has ceased to bo
the Pondlotou bill , having beou

loss come to a final vote either tomorrow
row or next day , and it is nuro of a
largo majority. How it will faro In
the house remains to bo seen.
THE prospect of a favorable balance
of trade is not very bright. The expert -
port of our breadstuff in the five
months ending with November allows
but a small increase upon the five cor
responding months of last year , and
that for the eleven months then end
ing , ahowD a decrease of twenty-one
per cent. On the other hand our
Btcoks are relatively largo , and the
hope of a vast European demand does
not rest on a solid banis.
IT would bo well , say a the Philadel

The Nebraska legislature will con
vene in biennial session at Lincoln
next Tuesday. In number it will bo
the largest law making body that has
over convened in Nebraska. Up to
1877 our legislatures woromado up of
Kl senators and .19 representatives.
Since that time under the changed
apportionment of the now constitu
tion , the senate consisted of 30 mom-
bore , and thohouso84 representatives.
The constitution nnthorlzadjl.tho
legislature to increase the number of
senators to 33 and the number of
representatives to 100 after the year
1880. The legislature of 1881 noted
on thin provhion and thocjmlng leg
islature will therefore consist of 133
momborfl ,
The people of Nebraska will watch
the proceedings of the coming legis
lature with a great deal of anxiety.
A largo majority of the body has
been elected upon pledges to support
measure * that will afford relief to the
producers from cxixting abused by
railway monopolies. They are pledged
to use every honorable cxsrtlon to
ward reducing the rate of transporta
tion and putting a atop to favoritism
and discrimination between parsons
and localities. They ore pledged upon
honor to their constituents
to vote for a man for United States
senator whoso character nnd pa t
record are n guarantee that ho will
honestly , faithfully and ably represent
the people of this state and givn his
voice and influence to measures of a
national character that will check the
aggression of monopolies.
Beyond this the coming legislature
stands pledged to enact laws that will
bring about an honest and equitable
assessment of railroad property and
laws that will Insure economy in the
conduct of our state government and a
general reduction of taxes. Thesoaro
the outlines of the policy that the
people look for from the coxt legisla
ture , and wo have reason to believe
that they will not bo disappointed.
"E of the problems that will have
to bo nolved in all , the lurgo cities of
thla country , is how to doviao proper
fire protections for buildings that nro
above fiix ntorios in height. In Now
York , Chicago nnd ulnowhoro great
blocks have boon built during the past
three or four yoara , that roach way np
to even tort and twelve stories. The
other dr.y an eight storied block
was destroyed in Buflulo because
the lire department could not throw a
stream of water into the upper ntorioa.
Much fault was .found by the Buffalo
proas with their firemen , but as a matter -
tor of fact the b'arua ' for the disaster
must ba laid at the door of the build
ers. Every intelligent person knows
that the ordinary system of
fir ? protection , either by water
works or from steam engines , is
utterly Inadequate to put out
fires above a certain height. To make
any headway against a fire in a ton-
story building the tire department
should bo provided with a water
tower or some other contrivance It
ia self-evident that wo mast either
give up building eight and ten story
blocks in largo cities or take the link
' their burning down. The worst
ealuro ia , however , that such largo
luildlngs are apt to communicate there
ro to lower buildings that aurround
icm , and the flames from such build-
nga will readily spread noroHs a street.
TUB present congress has taken a
ory deep Interest In the federal cflico
older. They have not only taken
ompasaion on the overworked clerks
i the departments at Washington ,
vho begin their arduous duties of
[ tedding red ink for their country at
in the morning and quit at 3 in the
ftcrnoon , with only a month's leave
f absence for recreation , but
iioy are also beginning to look
nto the hardships that cfTict
ho collectors of customs , marshals ,
urvoyors generals , heads of bureaus ,
crrltorial governors , etc. Until of
atu it was always believed that these
fllccs were sought after by able bodied
latriots , who were willing to fight ,
ilcod and die for their country. It
would seem , however , that the govern
ment has serious apprehensions that
hey will not bo able to fill these offices
n account of overwork and underpay ,
! o congress is devising all sorts of
mean * to relieve the poor follows who
wearUucla Sain'n ' harness.
CHICAGO is now earnestly engaged
n dieouislng the high license system ,
L'hcra Is vigorous opposition , however ,
rom 8,000 saloon keepers who do
jUBinots In Chicago , and it is not at oil
ikoly that a material advance In the
license could bo secured through the
Chicago city council , It la proposed
to apply to the legislature at its np
preaching session to make ahigh license
Uw far the whole state. The
proposition Is to charge $500 a year
for license in cities and $300 In towns
and villages. There are about 14,000
saloons ia Illinois , 10,000 of which
are In the cities and the remainder In
the small towns. It is estimated that
the law would probably reduce the
10,000 in cities to 0,000 , and thoae ,
at (500 each , would yield a revenue
of $3,000,000. The 4,000 In the rural
districts would bo reduced to 2,000 ,
and thuo , at $300 each , would ylolc
600,000 more , making a total of S3 , .
600,000 revenue derived from the
saloons. The friends of the measure
argue in ita favor that it would cplko
the prohibition gun , take the liquor
question out of politics , and nettle it
on a basis where the public would be ,
content to let It rest ,
THE actual tariff reformers on the
ways and means committee are gradu
ally coming to the conclusion that the
only postiblo cliat.co to secure any im
portant reforms in the tariff HUB in an
up and down fight on the floor of ( he
icuso. The changes recommended
jy the tariff commission cover so
much debatable matter that it will bo
mpcssiblo to pats any phn for n gen
eral revision of the tariff in time for
the senate to act upon it before the
clone of the protont congress. The
} est that the minority can do is to
make a determined fight with a view
to placing the country In posscsolon of
.ho . facts , and sh w whore the respon
sibility for a failure tojroviso the tariff
Hoperly belongs.

SENATOR VAN WYCK'S bill to compel
the land grant railroads to pay their
taxes moots with hearty approval from
leading papers all over the country.
ho St. Louis Jtejmbliean indulges in
, bo following uuvarnlnhod comment :
The bill reported to the United
States ecnato providing for the taxa
tion of public landa belonging to the
railway companies should bo passed
without hesitation. It is said that a
matter of fifteen million acroa are in
volved , and there ia no consideration
of public policy which should excuse
ilu'uo lauda from contributing as all
other lands do to the support of the
qoverntnciitsof'thoBO states or terri
tories in which they are tituated.
Ample provision waa made in the
acts granting thoao lands to enable
.ho . railways to dispose of them before
'arcing ' them to assume the obliga
tions of taxation , the manifest intent
of the law being a speedy marketing
of the public lauds. The railway com
panies sought to escape the obliga-
.iona of the limitations put in the
granting acts , however , by making a
pretended disposal of the lands , which
ias beoa declared to bo aniliciout of a
; rannfor to prevent their reverting to
; ho government , and they ahould not
now bo permitted to evade the obli
gations to the Btatos and territories
which must have been assumed If they
rploaaod themselves from their oblh/a-
.ioijs to the United States. If the
finds are not still public lands , they
must surely bo subject to taxation ,
whilst if they are hold to bo public
andfi , they are now , under the terms
of the original grants , open to pre
emption in the same manner as all the
other public lauds of the government.
[ t is out of the case that the railways
30 permitted to claim that the lands
lixvo boon disposed of and yet deny
; ho right of taxation because they are
still a part of the public domain.
