PLUMB'S PLAN ,
Senatar Plumb boliovcs discussion o
the Mississippi improvement will finally
result in building levees , and if levees
are built , that they can bo enl ;
maintained in one way , namely , by tra
versing thorn by railroad. It is capabl
of demonstration that a railroad can be
built along the bank of the river , and ho
believed this method would prove the
only practicable ono of keeping the lev
ees in repair. The railroad would at the
same time greatly increase the transpor
tation lacilitica of the Mississippi valley ,

HEWATE ,
WASHINGTON , January 11. Mr. Vat
Wyck ( rep. , Neb. ) , from the committee
on improvement of the Mississippi river ,
submitted a joint resolution approprlat
$1,000,000 to continue the improvements
begun by the Mississippi river improve
inont comm'saion.
After , debate it was amended to give
it the form of a bill and then passed.
The following bills were introduced
By Mr. Call ( dem. , Fla.-Providin { ,
for the establishment of a university o
medicine at the capital of the Umt&c
States for the advancement of science
and discovery of improved methods in
ho treatment and euro of disease. It
ppropriates 81,000,000 as n perpetual
endowment , the interest to bo paid for
ho nalarios of professors and cost of ox-
lorimonts , aim $100,000 additional an
iropriation for tlo purchase of grounds
or the erection of buildings ; also pro
viding for the establishment of postal
invings banks. It requires their estab-
ishmont nt all postollicca whore the ro-
soipta equal $1,000 annually , deposits to
10 received for all sums under 8100 , pay-
nont being guaranteed by the govern
ment.
By Mr. Edmunds ( rep. , Vt. ) For ro-
tof of the survivors of the Jeannette ex
pedition ,
Mr. Anthony's ( rep. , 11.1. ) resolution
nstructing the committee on foreign ro-
ations to inquire into the expediency of
ogialation to enable the executive to
irotcct American interests against thooo
( ovcrnmonts discriminating against
{ oalthful meats from the United States ,
was taken up.
Mr. Van Wyck ( rep. , Nob. ) moved to
amend by adding : "Except governments
whoso manufactured goods or products
were previously restrained or prohibited
free access to our ports. "
During Mr. Van Wyck's explanation
.ho morning hour expired and the matter
wont over.
Mr. Cullpm ( rep. , 111. ) then addressed
the senate in regard to his bill to rcor-
gani/o the legislative power of Utah.
It provides that the government of
Utah consist of n governor and council
of nine , to bo appointed by the presi
dent and confirmed by the senate , and
that citizens bo qualified voters in the
territory.
Mr. Cullom said that every phase of
Mormon history marked the same foul
deed. The system was founded on fraud
and most notorious deception. It is at war
with good government and society and
cannot bo permitted to proceed as it has
been for the last thirty years. It is
building up a system hostile to the
United States and instead of having a
lopublican govornmout , either in former
or spirit , is essentially opposed to every
principle of republicanism. It is n gov
ernment of arrogant priests , who teach
that Gontilca are foes of the Mormon
people and consider it proper to use
every device for their overthrow. They
are bringing to this country every year
thousands of paupers whom they teach
to hate the United States government.
The Mormons have the balance of po
litical power in Arizona , Idaho and per
haps in Wyoming , in addition to their
strength in Utah. If not checked soon
they will have control of five or six states
and territories west of the Mississippi.
They have trampled under foot all laws
of the United States. In the presen
condition of things the United State ;
( rovornmont lias utterly failed to use its
power to punishtho crime of polygamy
The acts of congress ci eating u commis
sion had done some good but it was no
adequate. It would bo a mercy tr
those misguided people to adop
measures necessary to reliov
them from the domination wf the priest
hood Wo do not desire war , out i
the Mormon question is not Bottled soon
it will end in war. His bill , ho said , wa
only a temporary measure , as all bills fo
the remedy of such a grievance mus
necessarily bo. The people of the terri
tory should , when the evil is eradicated
control their own affairs. Meanwhile lethe
the government take the management o
Utah into its own h.inda , discharge th
incompetent and unreasonable agents o
the Mormons who are officers in the territory
ritory and purge out of its civil cod
every vcstago of ecclesiastical polity.
Mr. Cullom maintained that it was the
Scrfoct constitutional right of congress t
o this under the clause of the constitu
tion giving the right to make rules anc
regulations to govern territories , anc
cited the fact that congress revoked th <
right of suffrage in the District of Colum
bia , and established a government b ;
commission.
Mr. Brown ( dem. , Ga. ) opposed tbj
bill as one which declared all the roccn
legislation of congress on the subject un
constitutional and indefensible. If congress
gross could destroy ono territorial gov
eminent , Mr. Brown said , it could do
stray all , and if for ono year , it could d
it for ono hundred years and congress
could therefore make the territories
satraps or provinces to bo plundered a
will by mon in power. If it could crush
out ono religious sect why not all roli
gioua sects.
The senate after debate adopted th
now rules , and after an executive session
adjourned till Monday.

0 lK.v , January II. All old Nobras-
ana will remember the prominence
vhich the name of General E. E. Cun-
ingliam occupied in the publio prints
or sovonil years , about 1870 to 187(5. ( Ho
was so conspicuous in the political af-
airs of the republican party in coiincc-
on with tlio defunct senatorial ring that
o was called the "Boss. " Nebraska , 1
oliovo , has not yet fully recovered from
10 surveying frauds perpetrated while
o was surveyor gommil of the slats , and
f which Tin : BIK : made a pretty full
lowing at tlio time. With the dofoatof
is loader as a candidate for a second
orm in the United State * senate , Cuii-
ingliam drifted into the Black Hills
ountry , cleaerting his own family and
taking up with another woman. Throe
earn ago ho was an operator iu a stock
poration , claiming immense placer
lines on Salmon river , nt thu
louth of the Yankee folk iu Idaho.
SToxt , in connection vrith the notorioui
x-postmaHtor of Dpad\u > od , B. O.
Vdaius , wo find him in the forwarding
uaincss , an enterprise which proved a
ailuro. This loft Cunningham in Idaho
with his woman still hanging to him. A
ow months ago his wife in Nebraska got
divorce and no at once was married to
lie woman who had boon his mistress for
oars. Of her it is enough to say that
ho is dissipated and so coarao in her life
nd actions that Cunningham's acquaint-
nccs wonder why ho should bo so in-
atuatod with her , and yet since ho is da-
erminod to cast his destiny with hora ,
hey admire him for doing what ho can
o shield and protect her. A few weeks
go a man predicted to the writer that
Cunningham would yet kill some one cr
; ot killed himself over the woman with
vliom ho was so infatuated and yet was
o jcalrg < s of. The man had soon
lim jSc ) the woman up out of
ho ditch in her drunken spells , and
icarct him uttur words of sympathy for
ho "poor girl. " The prophecy of the
nan appears to have boon nearly ful-
illcd a few days ago , as will bo soon by
ho following clipping from the Bellevue
Idaho ) Chronicle of January f :
"A shooting fracas occurred at Tilkura ,
railroad station about twenty miles bo-
ow Bollovuo. The report is that a man
nsultcd Mrs. Gen. E. E. Cunningham ,
find her husband compelled the follow to
ipologi/o on his bonded knees and sub-
cquontly ordered him to leave the place ,
.nstoad of so doing , however , ho secured
: rifle aiid shotgun , and at the first oi > -
> ortunity opened on Cunningham. Only
ho shot from the hotgun took effect ,
and that in Cunningham's right wrist ,
naking a severe wpund. Cunningham
olographod Constnblo.l'ollard at Shoshone -
shone , and the latter came up on tin
io.\t train , arrested the criminal , and
, hia morning the whole party to the row
lasacd through to Hailoy. "
Wo might draw n very iatereHling
moral from the lifo of the cliiof actor in

features in the history of the old politi-
: al ring in Nebraska , und toll wlioro n
'ow of them have gone , but most of your
readers are familiar with the facts. The
