Jin. KKIPKR and the American liog continue to attract the attention of the 'public. IN Cleveland they are clamoring for the street cars to run nil night. In Omaha wo will bo glad to have thorn run until midnight. y A iiti.ii has boon introduced in the Iowa legislature to establish a separate insurance department. Nebraska nocda something of that kind. The present supervision is worsa than nothing. IT will bo gratifying for ' "people who sympathize with Mr. Villard that hia new homo on Madison avenue is not yet in the hands of his creditors. It is still in the hands of the joinora and decorators. Tn only excuse the government di rectors of the Union PaoiGo have for ox. isting is that their names are needed to a certificate of good behavior , which the road iasuoa once a yoir under tbo name ! an annual report. TH.K report that there was to bo an other conference of railroad magnates ir Omaha in hopes of inveigling the Burlington into the Union Pacific pee proves to have boon unfounded , and it ii assorted .there is to bo a furious war. TIIK quality of our gaa supply and thi condition of our gas works are becomlnj matters of publio concern. Whoever tin owners of the works may bo at this time they are in duty bound to furnish steady supply of gas of sufliciont illuminat ing power to afford light for all practica uses. As it is now , those who rely upoi the gaa are frequently loft almost in th dark. Down in Arkansas theyhav hung two of the supreme coui judges 'in 'effigy for defeating th ais of justice , by granting tw murderers a new lease of life by aplittin hairs on technicalities. In Nebraska th supreme judges , when they cannot fim hairs to split , write letters to tho'govorn or to induce him to override the jurio and the courts. WHILH the ponderous intellects tha represents the country in the nation ! legislature are racking their brains ovc the problem of wiping out polygamy U , live commissioners , who wore appointc under the Edmunds bill , to supervise th politics of Utah , are swinging around th circle between Washington and Sa Lake , and drawing their 95,000 a yea and mileage , with duo regularity. Tlior is nothing like being a commissioner ur der our system of government , whothc it is a railroad commission , a tariff con mission , an Indian commission , or a rive commission. All those commissions ai morn sinecures to provide for the retire statesman , la nine cases out of to commissions have proved a failure. WK still insist that the scheme of built ing tho'proposod viaduct either on Elo vent or Tenth streets ia not good policy. ] should by all means bo built on Hint street. If it is built on Eleventh th lower portion of Douglas , Faruam an Harnoy will bo cut ofTfroma great dec of travel and traflic. Ninth street i already closed by tbo depot and th viaduct will not materially interfere wit the traffic that is now on that street or i . liable to be there in the future. 0 course the viaduct would have to cnu the Union PaciCo depot , the landin > would be south of the B. & M. dopnj This would give access to these depoti while Eleventh street would bo a bloc ! away from either of them. All the dam age that might result in crossing the dc pot would bo in the depression of th roof , which will certainly not diafigur that structure very much. TIIK Lincoln Journal says it U deciJ odly idiotic as well as palpably dUhonos for the man who siqns himself "Osca Keyser , " to ask the question why 40 nilM of railroad sidetrack remain un taxed in NebruVa. We admit that it i palpably dishonest for the railway inarm * 09f ot to return their sidetrack for tax Uo , but we can't for the life of us so why it I * idiotic for any one to ask wh "tfekiithu t It may be that the Lincoli Journal cn explain away this palpabl fraud upon the tax payers to its own eat jafatition , M it always does , whoa th tete treasury ia invadea by publi tltwvM awt'robben , but men who do no .wear tto braw collar will pronounce tin iiyiUni of wholwah ) iax.ihriVing no bet iw titan downright robbery , The Jour MOMyi Uit Mr , Keynor , whoever h W , mUouW make bis complaint t attorney gnral. H might jiut a TIIK HOMKSTKAD LAW * Congress has finally waked up to the fnct that land-grabbing ia not confined to the railroad companies alone , Millions of acres of the publio domain have been taken up under the present pre-emption and timber-culture nct , with no other purpose than to become the property of speculators. It is almost safe to say that fully one-quarter of the lands dis posed of by the land ofllccs have gene into the hands of land sharks , who never had any intention of living upon thorn , and the system , instead of promoting permanent aottlomont and development , has boon the moans of withholding vast tracts of valuable land from the poop * . The system has begotten organized fraud and perjury. The Stinking Water frauds , perpetrated by Simon Kulloy and hia as sociates from Hastings , are still fresh in the publio mind , and are fair samples of the swindles that have boon accomplished under the pre-emption laws. Yet Simon Kelley and his associate1 ! have not done anything unusual. Thousands of men have done the name thing all oyor the west , wherever there was any valuable land to bo acquired in this way. The pre-emption system ia rotten to the coro. The land officers are as much to blame for this nutragooua state of affairs as anybody. They have knowing ly allowed these things to go on without making the slightest protest , and in many cases they have boon in collision with tins land fjharks. Wo distinctly remember how Dr. Peter Schwonk con ducted the land ofllco business in the Elkhoru Valley , and there have boon several men in the publio aervico as bad as ho was. The proposed reform of the land laws is timely and almost absolutely necessary , so bold and extensive have the land swindles bocomo. Under the present homestead entry . law , a man by paying 314 , can settle or his claim within six months , and ho must remain there na a supposed resident for . five yoars. The practice hao boon for parties to go on their claims at the end of the six months , turn over a few feet o of sod with a spade or plow , erect a miserable orablo shanty and call it n residence After paying occasional visits to the claim during a period of five years } they prove up and sell their land. Frequent ly they soil their homestead rights to ! prc-omptors long before they secure tin patents. The pro-omption law requires the payment mont of 81.25 to § 2,50 per acre and i brief residence to perfect the ownership But the worst swindle is the timbor-cul turo act , which provides that a claim eighty acres may bo taken up and fin i ally acquired absolutely by the planting of a certain number of trees annually fo a certain period. The tree-planting hati proved a great farce. Take Dakota , fo : instance , whore hundreds of thousand 10 of acres have become the property eland land sharks , who have hired sprouts I bo planted by nurserymen each season Theao nurserymen have rushed eve > * th country and have planted their sprouts nine-tenths of which have died. Th , necessary affidavits as to the number "trees" planted have boon made , and th sharks have acquired the land. A general rule the "cultivation" is prove up by parties hired to testify. Thus it will seem that the homestead pro-omption and timber culture acts in stead of being a great benefit to th actual settlers , have played right into the hands of speculators , who have seized almost every available foot of agricultu d ral land in the western country , BO that lie it is now a difficult thing for on honest 10 homesteaders to find a piece of land that ill ! ia really worth taking up under these ar laws , which wore supposed to have boon re passed for their benefit and not for the ren n- sharks. It is proposed now to work a ner er reform in the land laws , and although it n- is a very late day to do so some good nor or may yet bo accomplished. The amend ro ments to the homestead act that 3d will bo recommended by" the 311 sub-committoo of the senate committee on public lands and buildings will make the law moro faverublo in dth some respects to honest homesteaders , th and prevent speculation. It Is proposed It to give the homesteader one year in Lh ! which to fix his residence on his claim , 10 and to show his good faith ho must id prepare a "Certain area of land idal al for cultivation. Tha , time for making is final proof to bo extended to seven yoars. 10 The timber culture law will probably bo th ! done away with , but as a nubatituto the is homesteader will bo required to plant a 3f certain number of trees on his claim , SB this of course applying only to n region SBS devoid of trees. The tendency of the t. amondmonds throughout is to induce the homesteader to stick to his claim. The relinquishment of claims under the pro-omption law are not to bo ac cepted by the local land 'ofllcora , and when accepted by the commissioner of ro the land department the land can betaken taken up by the first applicant , who shall actually reside on the claim for two years before he can purchase it. So far the committee has not paid much atten tion to the pro-omption law , but it will very likely receive a thorough amenda tory overhauling , if it ia not entirely renew - now postal notoa made their appearance a great hue and cry waa raited against them. It .was claimed that the banks would not receive them , and that they would.bo a-nuisanw. The success of the scheme , however , has already boon fully demonstrated , although only a few months have elapsed faince it wont into effect. Wo no longer hear any complaints - plaints , whichis , pretty good proof that the nyatern ia working smoothly and satis factorily. The demand for the notes lias far exceeded expectations , moro than a million above the estimate having been Bold , One of the most gratifying fea tured of the system is the fact that thus Par there has boon no lost incurred through alteration or counterfeiting , and , 10 far as known , not one note has failed to reach its destination. The notcshavo , to a moderate extent , taken the place of small bills and silver , ai it was antici pated they would when the law was passed. But the expectation that they would cause a serious diminution in the demand for money orders has not boon realized. The postal note may , there fore , bo taken as a nettled fact , and , with the few modifications experience has shown to bo best , will become one of the the necessaries of every day life. A NATIONAL COMMISSION. Mr. Ohauncey M. Dopow , in his argu ment against the lloagan bill before the house committee on commerce , main tained that congress had no right under the constitution to enact laws to regulate laws of transportation. According to Mr. Dopow the power vested in congress by the constitution to rcgulato inter state commerce was never intended to bo applied to the regulation of railroad traflic , Mr. Dopow was , however , of the opinion that if congress must take action it should do so through a railroad commission. Now wo apprehend that Mr. Dopow ia well aware that if congress has not the power to rcgulato intor-stato commerce under the constitution it can not legally confer upon a commission the power which it cannot oxorciao for itself , It is in fact a grave question whether a railroad commission created by congress could bo anything moro than a bureau of statistics. Congress undoubtedly does have the right to regulate commerce bo- twcon the states , and by virtue of that power it has chartered railways , tola graphs , und bridges crossing navigable streams and dividing states. Congress can exorcise this power by establishing general rules to govern the railway traf- lo , fixing the maximum and minimum rates and providing suitable penalties and forfeitures for violation of such regulations. But the powers delegated to congress by the constitution must bo exorcised by congress alone , and by no one else. Congress cannot delegate those pow ers to a railroad commission any more than it can delegate t } a Dminission its power to make laws , or declare or ratify treaties , or any other power vested exclusively in it. ' If congress does create a railroad commission its members will bo only a sot of dummies , drawing salar ies for doing clerical work. * If the com mission should attempt to regulate rail road ratca or punish discriminations and extortions , Mr. Chauncoy M. Dopow and other railroad attorneys would promptly appeal to the courts to protect the roads against the lawless interference of body that sooka to usurp the powers which congress can alone exercise under the constitution. M011K FEDERAL JUDGES NEEDED. The United States sonata last year passed the Davis bill for the relief of the supreme court , but the bill was per mitted to die in the house. At the beginning ginning of the present session of congress gross the Davis bill was again introduced but nothing further haa boon done in reference to it. This is a mutter of too much importance to bo longer delayed as the supreme court lisa moro busines than it can attend to. This works an injustice and a hardship to litigants , wh are depressed in spirit and purse by th tedious dolayrfif the courts. Litigatioi at the most is a very expensive luxury and when it is long drawn out it become doubly burdoiisomo. Owing to the ac cumulation ot business from the lowe courts it takes from two to three years t roach n final decision in a case in th supreme court. Not only should th supreme court bo relieved in some way but dome measures ought to b devised to [ equally relieve th circuit courts. It should b berne in mind that the legal business o the country ha-i grown very rapidly sine the proaont circuits were established Nearly all the circuits now cover to much territory and involve moro busi ness than any one judge can possibly a < tend. A circuit which ton years ag covered several states that wore comparatively ativoly thinly peopled , now embraces a population that haa increased many fold It ia no wonder that some of our circui judges jump at a good opportunity to re sign. If this state of affairs ia allowed to continue it will eventually require al moat a life time to roach a final decision in any case. The circuita ought to bo made smaller and moro judges should bo provided for. PKOPLKcannot bo too careful iu the vi cinity of the electric light wires. Numerous ous fatal accidents have already occurrot in New York and other eastern cities The latest ncoidont of this kind ia reported ported from Johuatown , Pennsylvania Many of the young men and boys em ployed at the Cambria iron-works at tha place emulate each other in touching th wires of the electric light system am receiving a shock. John Baxter , a young married man , threw the hook ho waa using over a wire conveying an unusually strong current and waa instantly killed His features and body were horribly con tortod. TIIEIIK is a great deal of indignation manifested among the strong-minded o the gentler BOX over the alleged injustice done by the solicitor of tbo treasury to Mrs. Mary Miller , in his adverse opinion to the right of woman to become a Mis s'uaippi river steamboat captain. Th Now York Times looks upon this matte from a dilTorcut standpoint than Sollcito llaynor. The TinM thinks that the chief objection t o a femalu captain is tha aho could not resist the temptation to flirt with handsome male passengers Naturally aho would bo greatly aduiirc < > y sympathetic young men , who would watch the ( ; 1oam of hoc red stocking on lie bridge , and staim by to catch her jack hair in case it should go ndrift. She would not bo a woman did she not reward lis admiration with coquettish glances nd piquant words. Even if aho did not ctually neglect her ship , all the elderly nd female passengers would feel con- inccd that aho neglected it , and hence a n captain she would bo an utter ailuro. LITI3IIAUY NOTES. Mr. Herbert Spencer opens the Fob- uary number of "Tho Popular Science lonthly" with nn article on * 'Tho Now 'oryism , " which will bo good reading for ur politiciana , and stimulate the thought f those interested in observing modern lolitical tendencies. The important and of " Athlo- ngrosaing subject "College - ics" ia considered by Professor E. L. lichards , of Yale College , in a paper bowing the advantages of cultivating thlotics at college. A succeed- iig paper will bo devoted to _ the iaadvantaqus of "College Athletics , " ) r. Oswald , in his "Iloniodioa of Na- uro" series , takes up the perplexing sub- cct of "Nervous Maladies , " and lias a oed deal to off'or which will bo of service o the afiiictod. Pofpssor John T. Stod- ! ard gives aomo practical hints and dircc- iono on methods for the detection of 'Dangoroui Kerosene. " In a paper on 'Underground Wires , " Dr.V. . W. 'acqucs , of the Boll Telephone company , hews that there are two sides to the [ ucstion of burying the electric wires , nd that anything moro than a very imitod adoption of the system would bo > esot by formidable difficulties. Now fork : D. Appleton & Co. Many noted names lend weight and mportanco to the table of contents of the February Century , either as subjects , eras as contributors to the number. In the rontispiocp is given one of Rembrandt's most effective paintings , engraved with a skill that has seldom boon excelled in the magazine. This painting , "The Head of Man " is from "Tho " in a , Hermitage" St. Petersburg , containing a remarkable but ittlo known nrt collection , of which iiclmrd Whiteing gives a description in lie name number. Signor Salvini con- Tibutonhia impressions of "Shakespeare's Lear , ' " a papnr which shows how deeply the actor has studied the poet and with what thought and elevation of pur- ) ese ho approaches the Shakespearean Irama. The two articles on Dante are well cal culated to extend the interest in his ; onius. The moat popular of the two is "The Portraits of Dante , " by Miss Sarah freeman Clarke , which is illustrated by : ho original portraits and busts of the loot , and by a sketch from the death- mask. In the other paper , by Miss Christina O. Itosaottf , the poet is illus trated out of his "rent ponin. Keats is also illustrated in a remark able way by a full-page engraving of his life-mask. The "Bric-a-Brac" - - - depart ment has the benefit of a humorous son net by Robert Browning , and of five short poems by Austin Dobson. Among the other contributors of poems are Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett , SidneyLanisr , George Parsons Lathrop , Edmund W. Gesso , Mrs. Celia Thaxter , John Vance Cheney , and Miss Helen G. Cone. A full-page portrait of "Liout.-Genoral Sheridan" is accompanied fcy a striking description of Jiis military career , by General Badeau. George B. McClellan writes of "Tho Princes of the House of Orleans , " including special reference to th ir service in the Army of the Potomac. Harper's magazine for February is a strong number in both its artistic and literary features. The two aerial novels , William Black's "Judith Shakespeare , " and the Rev. E. P. Roo's "Nature's Serial Story , " have n commanding inter est. The frontispiece engraving , from Abbey's drawing , "The Bible Reading , " is an illustration for Black's novel ; and both Diolman and Gibson have done their boat work for "Nature's Soria Story. " The opening paper of the num ber , by Joseph Hatton , ia a description of tbo upper Thames , accompanied by ton very beautiful and picturesque illus trations from drawings by E. A. Abboj and Alfred Pnraoiis. Miss Woolson con cludes her very interesting article "At Montono,1' whijh is pro fusely and beautifully illustrated. St. Nicholas for February is a bright , crisp and cheerful midwinter number , and the seasonable frontispiece an original wood engraving by Elbridgo Kingsloy is called "A Midwinter Night. " Accompanying the frontispiece is a paper , entitled "An Engraver on Wheels , " which gives a pleasant and in structive account of wood engraving in general , and , m particular , of Mr. Kings- ley's peculiar mothodn of work. Another wintry feature which will find n merry welcome ia "The Brownies on Skates , ' ' one of Palmer Cox's family illustrated poema ; "Gnsolda's Reception" is on amusingly-told story of child-Ufo ; St. Valentino's Day is commemorated with aomo very pretty vor es. W. O. Stod- dard'g serial , "Winter Fun , " is juat as timely and even moro entorlaining than boforo. "Historic Boys , " a eonos of sketches , by E. S. Brcoka , which bids fair to bo of unusual interest , begins in this number with "Marcus of Rome , the Boy Magistrate. " French Colonies.
