WE have no objections to railroad being built in Nebraska , but the time ha passed for railroads to ask the people t vote bonds to pay for the construction o roads.

TUB judiciary committee [ of the Texas ' legislature recommends a bill making i' fence cutting a felony , and the killing of a fcnco cutter , while in the act of apply nippers to a fence , justifiable homicide. That committee is probably composed of , ( men who have fenced in largo ranches on f tf-f the public domain , and who have become tired of repairing their barb wire fences. The fence cutters no doubt will regard th.ia as a very oUbnsivo measure. JUDGING from the statements of the Btato officials , the state reform school at Kearney nocds reforming.

They intinuto that the next legislature will make au investigation that will satisfy theme most deeply interested , who Imvo no reason for desiring hasto. This sounds as if sotno serious crookedness has boon going on in the state reform school. Wliat is it that is so darkly hinted at ) CiuntKa FJIANCIH ADAM.H' assault upon 'Greek will probably bo the moans of knocking that language out of the liar- yard curriculum. The faculty is now considering "tho gravest question of un iversity policy which has orison , or is likely to arise , in this generation , " says the college report in referring to the question whether Greek should any longer bo absolutely required , If Greek is abolished it will give the students moro time to perfect themselves in the moro populas and useful art of base-ball , an examination in which Vrill bo one of the requirements for admission into the col- RRTALlATIOtf. The preliminary steps taken by con gress towards retaliation upon Germany and Franco for their prohibition of the importation of American pork aroalroady causing a marked effect upon the governments - monts of these countries. Some of their leading citizens , merchants , manufac turers and newspapers are becoming alarmed lest the United States shall adopt strict retaliatory measures which will seriously nfloct tMr trade with this country. If Germany and Franco think that prohibition is allen on one eido , they will soon find out that they have made a grave mistake. Unless the prohibition upon American pork is removed or modified , congress will cer tainly take decisive action , several bills having already boon introduced with that object in view. Germany and Franco are keeping their eyes on the American congress , and are watching with deep interest - torost its every movement in this matter , The introduction of retaliatory bills is causing a general discussion in these countries , particularly in Franco. The distinguished French economist , M. Si- monin , acting no douLt in the interest and upon the suggestion of a largo con stitucncy , emphatically protests against the present policy of prohibition. In a forcible loader in La France ho de nounces the bill of Paul Bert na an ab surd and dangerous measure. The ofilcial returns of Franco show tint the value of the imports of pork shrank in the last year from 50,000,000 francs to 150,000 francs. This bss of trade fell upon the ports of ITavro , Bordeaux and Marseilles. The poorer classes of people were deprived of cheap and nour ishing food. So it will bo soon that the prohibition effected every class of people in Franco. The French povornmont has remained obstinate in its position on this question , notwithstanding the protests of the various chambers of commerce throughout that country , the Academy of Medicine , and the council of public health. It la plain that the French people want American pork , but the government does not , The government however , will probably bo forced to back down from ita stubborn poaition. M. Simonin given a plausible explanation nation of the prohibition movement it : Franco. Ho assorts that the war ngtiins American pork was begun and continued in the interest of a ring of protoctionisl pork-packers at Nantes , who want to monopolize the homo market. In con' eluding his vigorous protest against protection toction , M. Simonin says : "Now it is high time that the French people should open their eyes to the dan ger which is now menaced by American reprisals. The reports of the Amoricar consuls to their government have directed od Attention to the alleged adultoratioi of French wines. The analysis of the municipal laboratories of Pans lend color to this charge , and porhapa give cause for the action of the American congress. If the United States restricts or prohibits the importation of Froncl : wines another enormous loss will bo in flicted on French commerce , and this a1 the very moment when _ our oconomii disturbance and diminishing exports are greatest. In the event of such prohibi tion 37,500,000 franca will bo lost , thui making a total of nearly 100,000OOC francs , and thus- paying dearly for thi protection of a few pork packers of Nan tea. " What M. Simonin says of the ofTec of retaliation upon Franco , can bo ap plied with equal force to Germany. Hi protest has evidently alarmed Franco in the interest of her exports , and cabl advices now inform us that Loon Chat- toau will sail for America on Wodnosda ; next , his mission being to prevent , i : possible , retaliatory measures on tin part of the United States. The result of his mission no doubt will bo a compromise promise- which the American hr-g will 1 bob up serenely and bo given the free dom of Franco , Paul Bert's attack on American pork is based on the fear of diaonso. The an swer to this is that competent inspectors at the ports of shipment and delivery can prevent traffic in diseased moats. UTAH legislation promises to occupy a largo share of the attention of congress , and the probability is that a strong effort will bo made to pass an effective bill for the suppression of polygamy. Senator Oullom's bill provides for n special gov ernment for Utahto consist of a governor and n council of nine , to bo appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. In speaking upon his bill , Sena- tor Cullom made n scathing review of Mormon attaint and methods. Ho charged that they have trampled under foot all the laws of the United Stntoa , and ho as sorted that thoyhold thobalanco of power not only in Utah , but in Arizona and Idaho , and perhaps in Wyoming. Sena tor Cullom maintained that congress has a constitutional right to muko rules and regulations to govern territories. This proposition , however , was opposed by Mr. Brown , of Georgia , who said that if it can crush out ouo religious sect why cannot it crush all religious sects. Sen ator Cullom's speech attracted marked attention , and will sot congress to think ing upon the subject. The solution of , the Mormon problem will prove a moat difficult one. Lawn may bo enacted for the suppression of polygamy , but that is but the proiiminarj atop. The enforce ment of those laws is what will trouble the government , as much in the future as it has in the past. CALL , of Florida , has in troduced a bill for the establishment of a national univoroity of medicine at Wash ington , for the advancement of science and discovery of improved methods in the treatment and cure of disease. This is u practical and sensible idoa. If there is any science that deserves support and development at the national oxpunso it is that of medicine. A national university could bo made an institution tlmt would far surpass all others in ita resources of knowledge and facilities for the thorough and practical education and training of the medical fraternity. Money expended in this cause will bo wisely invested , and the expenditure will meet with the ap proval of the people. The money spent on useless arctic expeditions would In itself b'o sufficient to establish and main tain a national university ot medicine. A NATIONAL DirOllOK LAW. A movement is being inaugurated in favor of the passage of a national divorce law , and petitions to congress are being circulated for oignaturea throughout the country. That such a law is greatly needed there is no doubt. At present nearly every state in the union has a different divorce law. In Borne states the marriage contract can bo easily dis solved for the moat trivial alleged causes in from fifteen minutes to twenty-four hours , and BO loose are the laws that a divorce can bo obtained by fraud without any fear of detection or punishment. In otherntales it isa difficult matter tosoduro a matrimonial disolution , the causes for abaolutodivorco being very limited. In two orthrco states a separation may bo obtained od on various grounds , but an absolute divorce vorco is not granted except for adultery and perhaps for two or three other almost as serious charges. The result of this varying system is t6 give to these statoa which have loose laws upon this matter the monopoly of the divorce business. This explains why Chicago has become the treat ? divorce center of the country. People from all parts of the country flock thither for the purpose of freeing themselves solves from matrimonial bonds , which are dissolved in that city almost as easily as two passenger cars are uncoupled. A natipnal law governing marriage ant divorce would provo very beneficial. What conatitutoa a legal marriage shoulc bo explicitly act forth , the causes for divorce should bb enumerated , and the manner of procedure should bo plainly oxprosard. The wide difference ! ) between the laws of the aovoral states have led to conflicting judicial decisions , so that marriage is often treated in ono state us dissolved , and at the same time in an other as existing. Under the prcaon laws cases may arise where n man ma ; bo conviclod of bigamy or adultery in ono jurisdiction upon what would bo lawful marriage in another. It is a question , however , whether congress has any right to legislate upoi : the marriage contract. Such a right is not enumerated among the powora granted - od to congress under the constitution , but congress has the power to regulate commerce between the states , and if the marriage contract assumed between citi zens of different states can bo construed aa moaning inter-state commerce , then congress haa undoubtedly the power of legislating upon the subject. TUB BEB respectfully refers the whole matter to John H. Roagnu , chairman of the house committee on commerce. TUB Nebraska state board of agricul ture will hold ita annual meeting in Lin coln next week , and will then determine the location of the next Btato fair. It is hoped that Omaha will bo on hand and offer inducements that will secure the fair in this city not only for ono year but for a period of years. As a matter of fact Omaha ought not to bo called upon to offer any great extra inducements , as this is the only city in the state where the fair can bo made n financial success. Wo hare the accommodations and the people , and our location is the most con venient for all parts of the state. These superior advantages ought in themselves to bo mifficiont inducement to the state board of agriculture to locate the fair in Omaha. Besides , the location in Omaha will bo in accordance with the wishes of the great 1t majority of the people of the state , who believe that the fair should bo held at the metropolis. However , wo advise those of our citizens who are actively in teresting themselves in this matter to offer every reasonable inducement for the fair to the state board , notwitlistanding the superior advantages of Omaha. Lin coln will make extraordinary efforts to capture it , and if she succeeds it will bo by guaranteeing to make up any financial deficit that may occur , and besides this offering inducements equal to these of Omaha in every respect , but she will bo unable to carry out ho ; promises if she makes such an offer. The Pawnee Jtcpubllcan , a leading Suuth Platte paper , nays : The etato board of agriculture ia con sidering the matter of removing the state fair next year to Lincoln. There can bo no material benefit derived from such a course. Omaha is equally accessible to the south and west part of the state as Lincoln ; besides it has hotel accommo dations sufficient for all who may deairo to attend , and is a nlaco of natural importance. Omaha has a powerful metropolitan proas that will advertise the fair for all who go , and keep all posted in the proceedings do not go. The fair is u bigger institution than Lincoln is , and the past features on the part of the capital ought to teach the managers to lot the fair wisely remain where it now is , SENATOR VAN WVOK continues to make himself hoard. The Washington correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press aays ; It' ia a very tame day in the senate when Ingalls and Van Wyok cannot have a tilt on the railroad land grant question. To-day the Nebraska senator called up his resolution to direct the sec retary of the interior to abstain from is suing certificates or patents to the Now Orleans it Pacific Hallway company. Mr. Ingalls thought it would bo bettor to "re quest" the action than to "direct" it. Tin's brought out Van Wyok in his strongest stylo. lie declared that the supreme court of the United States had discovered that only the constitution and the desire of n land grant railroad was the inevitable and irresistible law of the country. Ho proposed to uestion the right of the roads to su- > rome authority. As usual after the lustomary pyrotechnics the resolution was adopted , amended as Mr. Ingalls sug- ; cstcd , AHVSES OP TltK FKK SVHTKW. Congressmen Herbert , of Alabama , ia making a move in the right direction , Its investigation of abuses of the fee system by federal officers opens n big iold for reform , It is a notorious fact .hat federal officials who depend upon 'oca AS compensation work the systorn for all there is in it , and in many instances they thuj make for themselves a much argor salary than they are entitled to. It will bo remembered that two years ago it came out that Middloton , clerk of the supreme court at Washington , had been for years making twenty thousand dollars per annum , or twice as much as the salary received by the chief justice. It will list bo denied that United States marshals and their deputies concoct all aorta of schemes to work up foes. Con grcssmrm Herbert , among the numerous abuses referred to in his own state , cited the case of a man who was brought 100 miles before a United States court charged with having cut timber on land belonging to the government. The witness against him was the man who entered the complaint and who rocoivcd witness foes and travelling expenses When placed upon the stand , ho swore to the facts in the cose and also testified that ho know that the cutting took place so long before that the caao wasoutlawod. It was dismissed , but the United States had to pay n considorabln sum. Such cases are not confined to Alabama alone , but can bo found in almost every state and territory. It is not at all un likely that congress will abolish the foe ays torn , and fix salaries for federal officers , and hold them accountable for every cent received aa fees. It is high time also that the fco system should bo done nway with among county officials in the varioua states. Every county office should bo made a salaried office , and the officials should not bo allowed to have the benefit of ono cent of the foes , Under our present system several of the moat important county officials in No braaka receive salaries and at the same time have the privilege of disburaing tin foes of their office. Every foe should bo " , turned into the treasury , and t strict fee account kept by the difforeu officials. There ia no tolling how mud certain county officials pocket over and \ above their fixed salaries. j THE irroprosaiblo and voluminoua Jim Brisbin is again rehashing histories and encyclopedias.

Senator Paddock , " ! was reminded of the first marriage in a church in Omaha. It was twenty-four years ago. " "Whoso marriage was it , governor ? " asked the BKB'S Man About Town. "My own. It took place in Trinity church , a small brick structure yet standingat the south west corner of Farnam and Ninth streets , and is now called the Tivoli. It has long boon used as a boor hall. When wo cele brate our silver wedding next year , I shall have to rent the old church for a dayand hold a sort of quarter-centennial there as ono of the incidental events of the occasion , " "I wish I was on oditor/'romarkod a lady as she was sitting in the Paston hotel elevator , on her way to the Harri- aon-Saundors wedding reception. "Edi tors are such favored persons at weddings. I suppose they have soon the presents , and the trousseau , and have learned all particulars in advance of everybody olao. " "Thoro are moro favored persons than editors , " remarked a gentleman. "Who are they ? " asked the lady. "Tho minis ters , of courao. " "Please explain , " said aho. "The minister kisses the bride , " replied ho , "and the editor only takes the cake. " * * * 7"If thoio is anything I detest it is the habit of grown-up persons , and particu larly of men , kissing little children , " said a lady in a street car the other day after a young man , whoso breath amolled of whisky , had kissed her pretty littly child good-bye , and left the car. "Just think of mon with breath made foul by whisky , boor and tobacco , and other vile stuff , kissing innocent little children in the mouth and tainting their sweet lips and breath with poison. I Loliove that dis ease is often communicated to children in Una way , and although it might seem rude 1 think mothers would bo perfectly justi'lcd in putting a stop to the prom- iscuous kissing of their children. " - "I BOO that the man who woa in the Ouster massacre and survived the scalping process lias turned up again in the eastern papers , and is getting consid erable notoriety , " remarked an ox conductor - ductor of the Union Pacific to the BBK Man About Town. " 1 know of Two or throe cases of men being scalped and sur viving the operation. There's Tom Cahoon , who has boon conductor on the Union Pacific almost since it started , and who is yet on the west end , vrhoro ho has boon for years Ono day , in the summer of 1808 , Tom Cahoon and Wilkes Ed- moiison wont out fishing in Lodge Polo crook , near Sidney , and they were cor ralled by a small party of Sious Indiana. Edmonson was pierced with three arrows and fell to the ground. The Indians rushed upon Cahoon , and , scalping him , loft him for dead with Edmonson. Why tlioy didn't scalp Edmonson , I never learned , Ho may have been bald-headed , tor all that I know. 1 know that Cahoon was bald-headed after the Indiana left him. Both Cahoon and Edmonson recovered - covered from their injuries , but Oahoon never recovered his ncalp. Edmonson is now on the Central Pacific , The effect of lie scalping woa to make Cahoon rather orvons and irritable , and ho doesn't like o have anybody ask him about his oxper- nco. The train mon sometimes toll the lassongcrs about Cahoon having boon calpcu , and when ho comes through the rain nnd some traveler attempts to draw imout on the subjectho feels moro like iimching the passenger than his ticket , ' 'or some years after the occurrence ho , -n.s bothered nlmoat to death in this way. About the same time that ho waa ; alpcd near Sidney , an Englishman , ho waa working on the track near Over- on , waascnlpod _ and loft for dead , to gether with two or three others , who ied. The Englishman , whoso name I ergot , survived. This fellow had bettor tick than Cahoon , for ho recovered his calp. Ho found it a short distance near , ho place vrhcro the Indian had owned im , the dfilner having dropped it. The 'ollow catuo 10 Omaha for treatment. I huik that ho afterwards became parti- illy insane. Ho was in Omaha for quite whilo. Dr. Pock treated him , and if ou'H oak the doctor ho will probably .ell you moro about the caso. " The BEE man accordingly interviewed Dr. Pock on .ho subject , and learned some additional 'nets. The Englishman's name waa Thompson , nnd lie was a largo robust ian. Ho was brought into Omahn and 10 had his scalp with him. Ho had it in a itickot of water , and thought iho doctor ould BOW it on a ain. It was a atrip about ton inches long , nnd at ono end five inches wide , it having boon cut from ho center of the head , from the fore- bead to the nock. The wound vras a crriblo ono , the knife having none rated clear to the bone. The victim was sick for n long time , owing to n liigh fovor. Ho was considerably disap pointed when informed by Dr. Peck that ho scalp could not bo replaced. The doctor stretched the scalp on n piece of board and tanned it for him , nnd when Thompson recovered ho took it away ivith him as a "souvenir. " * * * "Tho principal subject for con idorntion at our next meeting will bo cold weather , " said ono of Omaha's old aot- ; lors to THE BKK'.S Man About Town. 'Tho modern population of this city seem to think that the recent cold snap waa the coldest weather over known in Omaha , and _ they appear anxious to snatch from the pioneers some of the jlory of having lived through the coldcsl period over known. The oldeat inhabi tant proposes to dispute this claim. In the winter of 1866-57 wo had three months of weather that would knock the recent cold snap silly , and make it ap pear by comparison merely a January thaw. Twenty-seven yeara ago my ther mometer went clear down to the bottom of the well early in .the winter , nnd il never came up again until late in the pring , and then it came up in a bucket. The Missouri river and all wells froze solid. Wo had to melt snow for our water , nnd wo didn't dare go out doors to got the snow. " "How did you got it then , " the venerable liar waa then , asked. 'Wo ' had a shovel attached to a long polo , which wo ran out of a small-hole in the wall , and thus scooped in the snow , which waa iivo or aix feet deep. Tunf nols under the snow were scooped out from house to house , BO that wo could crawl around once in a while to our neighbors and make calls or borrow pro visions. The tunnel to the old Apex sa loon was the moat traveled , as hot drinks wore in demand. When wo didn't feel like crawling to n grocery , wo would blow our breath through a hole iu thereof roof towards the grocery , and in less than a ' minute wo would have an icicle between our house and the grocery store , which was located on an ele vated spot. The groceryman tied up our packages of groceries and slid them down to us on the icicles. It generally rpquirod the time of four persons to keep the fire going in each house , night and day. Three of them were kept busy sawing wood , and the fourth piled it into the stove. People nowadays can hardly believe all this , and I would not believe it myself had I not passed through that winter in Omaha. I hope you will attend our next mooting , and hoar other old timers relate their exper ience and compare notes. A. D. Jones will publish a call for the meeting in a day or two " -That Omaha woman who marched a thief tip to the police court undes cover of a revolver and delivered him to the authorities , exhibited more pluck and presence of mind than ninoty-nino women ont of a ppssiblo hundred , would Imvo shown.
