So far the soldiers' reunions in Nebras
ka have proved very succcwful , and have
cwmparod favorably with the reunions
hold in other states. At first the re
unions wore rather small allYiirs , AS
Nebraska wan thinly populated. Never
theless , genuine enthusiasm was not
lacking among the veterans. With the
increase of population each year the re
unions have grown in numbers and in
enthusiasm. At Grand Inland in 1882 it
won claimed that there wore over 25,000
people in attendance , and this year nt
Hastings it was estimated that thcrowore
over UO.OOO present.
Among the people of Nebraska there
are n very largo number of soldiers ,
Nebraska is in a great measure a soldiers'
stao , and it is believed that at the next
annual reunion there will bo C0,000 poo-1"
plo in attendance. The bids for the loca
tion of the reunion are * o bo based on that
number. It will bo a grand demonstra
tion , and no doubt there will bo consid
erable rivalry among thn various cities
and towns to secure it. The location will
bo decided nt thosovcnth annual encamp
ment of the Grand ( Army of the Repub
lic , department of Nebraska. John 0.
Bonnoll , department commander , will
receive sealed proposals until January
25th , nt his headquarters in Lincoln ,
from the various cities , towns and vil
lages of the state which desire to compote
pete for the location of the reunion.
The propositions must guarantee the
use of at least 240 acres of land for
the reunion , suitable for camping ,
and it must bo fully staked out and pre
pared for the camp. Seventy-five tons
of "Tmy , fifty tons of straw , and one hun
dred cords of wood must bo furnished ,
and a guard provided for such property.
Water must bo furnished in barrels for
the uao of 60,000 people , and enough
stock water for 3,000 teams of horses and
muloa , for one week , Forty tons of ice
must also be delivered. The touts , camp
equipage , munitions of war , must bo
transported free from any point in the
United Stafcs , and returned in the same
way. They shall bo hauled to the camp ,
and the tents pitched , and when the re
union is ever the material shall bo re
turned to the railroad company. The re
union must bo advertised to the extent
of at least § 350. AH property must be
insured.
All expenses incident to the reunion
in the way of ammunition , and material
needed and used in the carrying out of
programme of parades , sham battles ,
amusements , sunrise and sunset guns ,
caring for the pavillion , lighting same
for camp firca , hiring of saddle horses
for the commander of camp , and his
staff , must bo berne by the city , town , or
village that shall secure the location of
the reunion ; nnd all the rights to main
tain , and rents accruing frm sutler
stores , booths , dining hall , and all busi
ness firms , games , places of amusement ,
shows , etc. , shall bo received by the said
city , village , or town , No dance hall ,
no gambling , or place to vend spirituous
liquors , wines , or malt boor , shall bo al
lowed on the grounds of the reunion , and
all places of business or pleasure shall
close at 10 to 11 o'clock p. m. each night ,
if BO ordered by the C9inmandor of the
camp.
In addition to the above , the locality
must give a certain sum of money as n
cash donation for securing the reunion ;
said sum to ba paid to the department
commander by or before August 1,1884 ,
for use of the department of Nebraska ,

Tm : only positinu of any promiuonco
which Nebraska holds in the torriiorios
ia thu survoyor-gonuralship of Now Mox-
ico. That position has boon hold by
Henry M. Atkinson for eight years. Mr.
Atkinson's grip on federal ofllcos has
boon steady nud porsistont. It extends
way back to 1801 through a continuous
line of lucrative appointments , varying
all the way from land-ofllco receiver to
commissioner of pensions and surveyor-
gonoral. Mr. Atkinson belongs to that
clasa of political economists of whom
IJorsoy , Spencer end Kellogg are fair
typos. In fact , Mr. Dorsoy and Mr.
Atkinson are fast friends and are mom-
bcrsof the old ring organized in Washing
ton under the old Grant roginioand transplanted -
planted to Now Mexico about tho. time
that Jim Boslor started his ranch. Tin's
ring has received a chock in the star-
route exposures , but its operations nro
still among the mysteries that remain to
bo uncovered by congress. It is not nt
all surprising that the two great ring or
gans in Nebraska , The Omaha Republi
can and Lincoln Journal , are both lav
ishing their praises upon this great Ne
braska statesman in Now Mexico. Both
of thorn on the same day liavo discovered
that Mr. Atkinson does not want to bo
roappaintod to the position of nurvoyor-
general , although they urge it is emi
nently proper that ho should bo : There
may bo good reasons why Mr. Atkinson
should not push his claims too hard. The
coining investigations into the land
frauds in the territories will make it altogether -
together too disagreeable for him to con
tinue in that oflico.
Tnu Nebraska congressional delegation
had better inquire into the character of
men before they recommend them for
positions in thu public service. The
other day they foisted Into the railway
mail service a scalawag , who is notori
ously dishonest , and who last year ran
away /ront hit family in Omaha with
another womau. It ia currently reported
that our delegation recommended for
appointment to the North Platte
land oflico , in place of Dr. Buck-
worth , a man who stole a ten dollar
lar countertcit bill from n bible , be
longing to his room mate , and then paid
Ids board bill with' it , Ho was com
pelled to redeem the bogus note , and the
fact was established beyond doubt
through the North Platte papers.
man Licr.itsi : IN N EMI ASK A.
Itov. J. B. Maxfiold , of this city , is
said to have written a letter t < i Mr. John
B. Finch recently , in which the opinion
ia oxprctsod that drunkenness and debauchery -
bauchory are on the increase in Nebraska
ainco high license has been substituted for
low license. A statement coming from
such n source mny make capital for Mr.
Finch in his debate with Die Lewis but
it is absolutely untrue. No candid per
son will claim that high license has done
awny entirely with drunkenness , but it
stands to reason that the closing of more
than ono half of the saloons Jiai mater
ially diminished the evils arising from
intomporanco. This is not all. High
liconso. has forced many of the lowest
dives to close up altogether and thus
reduced the number of resorts whcro
thugs , thieves , nnd vagrants congregate.
Hero in Omaha , whore ono hundred and
eighty saloons were in full blast four
years ago , with n population of
thirty thousand , only eighty saloons
remain to-day when the population
has reached nearly fifty thousand.
In other sections of the state the change
is oven moro marked than in Omaha.
The high license law of Nebraska docs'l
not compel the issue of n liquor
to every applicant who tenders the money
to the city or county officials. It is en
tirely optional with the board whether'
license is granted or not , and wherever
public Rontimont against license predom
inates , no saloons have boon licensed.
In other words prohibition is enforced in
every community that has the moral
stamina to sustain it. To attempt pro
hibition where public sentiment will not
sustain it would simply bo n fnrco. But
if high license has boon n partial failure
in some localities , the blame must lie with
that class of people who preach temperance
but lack the cqurago to put it into prac
tice. How has it been in Omaha ? When
did our temperance agitators ever make
the slightest oil'ort to compel the enforce
ment of the law ? When did any of thesu
people ever present a remonstrance
against granting n license to notorious
dons ? Is it any wonder that the high
licence law is often violated when the
moral element keeps aloof and refuses to
take the responsibility of filing a re
monstrance or entering a complaint ?
Why blame the law for failing to enforce
itself ? Why pronounce high license
n failure to become in some localities the
standard of morality is lax and public
odtcinls do not enforce what the majority
of voters are disposed to tolerate.
AN effort is being made to revive the
viaduct scheme. The proposition is to
have a viaduct built either on Tenth or
Eleventh streets as cheaply as possible ,
nnd with as little convenience as the
public will submit to. There is no doubt
that a viaduct ought to bo built some
where between Howard and Pacific
streets , across the railroad tracks. But ,
whether a viaduct is built at the expense
of the city , or by the railroads , who by
rights should protect the public against
accidents , it should bo wide enough and
substantial enough for nil the traflic that
passes between the depots and the
business center. There should bo in
the first place double tracks far
street railway in the center , and room
enough on each side for wagon 'tracks
and pedestrian walks. In other words ,
the vindnct should bo fully fifty foot wide.
In our opinion Ninth street would bo
much better than Tenth or Eleventh
streets. It would accommodate nil the
travel and traflic that passes down Doug-
Ian , Farnam , Harnoy nnd Howard streets ,
whereas a viaduct on Tenth or Eleventh
street would cut off travel in the lower
portions of the city , and to that extent
would damage property. Ninth street
is already closed nt ono end by the
Union Pacific depot , while Tenth and
Eleventh streets nro thoroughfares. A
viaduct on those two stroota would more
seriously obstruct travel und traflic than
on Ninth street , where it would have to
bo high enough to pass ever the depot ,
with an extension south of the depot in
the direction of Tenth street. This
would cost a great deal moro than n via
duct on Eleventh street , but the greater
outlay would bo justified in view of the
advantages of accommodating all the
business houses on lower Farnam , Dou
glas , Harnoy and Howard streets , nnd
giving the lower part of the city the ben
efit of the street railway. It is solf-ovi-
dent that the street railwny would aban-

were built on Eleventh ,
TitKrailroads are going into the banking
business on an extensive scale. The sys
tem of railroad chocks has boon adopted
by several of the loading companies. In
stead ot paying their
employes in money >
through their paymasters nnd pay-cars ,
they give them checks on their desig
nated depositories. This gives the banks
and the railroads the
use of the money
until the checks are presented for pay
ment. When it ia taken into considera
tion that this involves millions of dollars ,
to nothing of the
say curtailing of ex
penses , it is a big thing , oven though the
money remains on deposit only for a few
days.
TUB fincority of the democrats in
favor of tariff reform will noon bo tested ,
Ono of the most glaring abuses in the
high protection system is the duty on
sugar , It is believed that the democrats
will endeavor to keep up the .high tar ill
ou sugar in order to conciliate Louisiana
planters. The republicans , as a matter
of policy , will urge that there ohall bo
some reduction on sugar. It is oven pos
sible that the republicans may support a
bill to abolish the sugar duty entirely ,
and give a bounty to American pro
ducers. That would probably suit the
Louisiana planters just ns well as keep
ing up the present sugar tariff. It is a
question , however , whether this policy
of giving a bounty on raw products can
moot with much favor iitnong the tax
payer * . If it is proper to pay a bounty
to the sugar planters , why not pay n
bounty to the tobacco raisers , or n bounty
on buckwheat , or rico , or augar-beots ,
turnips , or any other product that the
American farmer might raise , Thia is
ono of the problems that is liable to try
the sincerity of the democrats in con
gress ,
lr the democratic party is true to its
principles nnd traditions , it will bo the
anti-monopoly party , and on that plat
I form , it will bo invincible , New York
I Star.
If the republican pnrty hnd boon true
to iU principles nnd lived up to its tradi-
tions there would have been no need of
an anti-monopoly platform , much less of
an invinciplo anti-monopoly democracy.w
If the democratic party had the courage
to grapple with monopoly in every slinpo
nnd form it would have been in power
years ago.
Ijltcrnry Notes.
The North American Review f r Jan-
' uarp presents a table of contents pos
sessing in the highest degree the charac-
' sot forth by two representative men , [
whoso competence for the poformanco of
the task undertaken by thorn respect
ively admits of no doubt , viz , : Presi
dent John Taylor , the oflicial head of the
Mormon church , nnd the Hon. Eli H.
Murray , governor of the territory of
Utah. Senator John I. Mitchell writes
of the "Tribulations of the American
Dollar , " recounting the strenuous ef-
Torts of the people of the
United States to extinguish
the national debt , and contending that it
is our imperative duty to-day to settle
definitely the question , whether wo shall
have dollars of unequal commercial value
in circulation. In an article entitled ,
"Theological llo-adjustmonts , " the Rov.
Dr. J. H. Rylance insists upon the ne
cessity of eliminating from the formu
laries of belief and from the current
teachings of the churches , whether in the
pulpit or in thu Sunday school all doc
trines nnd all statements of supposed
facts which have been ciscroditcd by the
advance of exegetical scholarship , and by
the progress of natural science. Senator
Henry W. Blair , taking for his theme ,
"Alcohol in Politics , " declares his belief
that another irrepressible conflict is at
hand , and advocates the submission
to the people of an amendment
to the United States constitution pro
hibiting the manufacture , sale and im
portation of intoxicating liquors. No
ono who road in the December Iloviow

ment , " Gail Hamilton's incisive review
of the domestic life of Thomas Cnrlylo ,

latter half in the current number.

The extracts from General Garfiold'a
journal of n four months' trip to Europe ,
made in 1807 with Mrs. Garfield , which
are to appear in the January Century ,
begin with the embarkation at New
York , July 13. In his first entry Garfield -
field says :
'When I entered Williams college , in
1854,1 probably know less of Shakes-
pore than any , student of my ago and at
tainments in tha country. Trough this
was n shame to me , yet I had the pleas
ure of bringing to these great poems a
mind of sonip culture and imagination ,
and my first impressions were very strong
and vivid. Something likp this may oc
cur in rcforonco to this trip ; and , how
ever much ignorance I may exhibit , I
shall hero speak of vrhat impresses me ,
whether it bo that which has boon ad
judged remarkable or not. "
Not the least interesting part of the
paper is the ocean voyage , which the
writer bore without discomfort. July
17 , ho writes ;
"Ho ( the captain ) says if this day docs
not make rae seasick , none will. Heard
from him the story of his life. Very in
teresting. I could almost feel the old
passion fer the sea arise in my heart
again. Wore I not what I am , I should
hnvo boon n sailor. "

to parliament , where ho hoard the debate
on the reform bill of August , and which

A now member of congress from Cali
fornia , named Sumner , shows his disposi
tion to strike at existing and great evils
by proposing that government authority
shall bo used to reduce the excessive pas-
senior charges on the Central and Union
Pacific roads to a par with the charges
which are deemed sufficient on all the
larger roads cast of Omaha. His bill
provides that the faro for a first-class pas
senger per mile almll not exceed three
cents. Why some relief on freight
charges should not also bo granted is an
important question. If , us is claimed
on good grounds , the authority of con
gress to regulate the Pacific roads is
established there is no reason why the
companiea who have been paid immense
fortunes for budding them should not
bo forced to give as reasonable rates as
those who have put their own capital ,
with only a alight proportion of water ,
into the unsubsidized railways. But the
proposition to regulate passenger rates is
a stop in the riaht direction. The aver
age rate per milo ou the eastern roads is
lees than what the Pacific roads are
charging. A reduction to > l cents a milo
would cut down ( ho faro between San
Francisco and Omaha from $100 to 957.
If that can bo d no by congress it will
make a splendid start toward regulating
freight rates and abolishing the special
contract infamy.

Control of the Senate.
The terms of twenty-five sonatora will
expire on March 3 , 1885 , and their suc
cessors will bo chosen during the winter
of 1884 by legislatures in part to bo
elected at the same time with the next
president and congress. Of these , four
teen are now democrats and eleven re
publicans. Thn democratic seats to bo
vacated are from Alabama , Arkansas ,
California , Florida , Georgia , Indiana ,
Kentucky , Lousiana , Maryland , Missouri ,
North Carolina , Ohio , Oregon , and South
Carolina. The republicans are from
Colorado , Connecticut , Illinois , Iowa ,
Kansas , Nevada , New Hampshire , New
York , Pennsylvania , Vermont and Wis
consin. Not many changes are apparently
possible in these states , and not enough ,
oven making the largest allowances , to
change the political predominance in the
senate. Some republicans believe that
California , Florida , Indiana , North Carolina
lina and Oregon , now having democrats ,
may spnd republican senators. Of the
republican states some democrats believe
that Connecticut , Illinois , Now York and
Wisconsin may send democratic senators.
These nine are the only states which can
bo called doubtful , oven by the most
sanguine politicians. The democrats must
make a clean gain of five senators. That
is to say , they must carry five states now
having republican senators , and hold all
they now have in of dor to have a majority
of the senate. If they should lose Cali
fornia and Oregon , which are really
doubtful states , they would have to carry
two moro The republicans could afford
to lose New York nnd Connecticut , their
only really doubtful states , nnd if they
gained no senators elsewhere they would
still retain control of the senate.
