NKOKTIK sociables are xll the rngo juat
now in Colorado.
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

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 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

ur politiciana , and stimulate the thought
f those interested in observing modern
lolitical tendencies. The important and
of " Athlo-
ngrosaing subject "College -

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
