The secretary of legation , who now gets

This question of salaries is interesting
nnd the Blue Book , which is only issuoc
for privnto use , gives some interesting
fncta. The president , ns everyone knows ,
gets $69,000 now , together with a largi
amount of household expenses. In 'Jack
son's day the $25,000 then paid was no
enough to run the White House , nnd i
is said that ho had to depend upon hii
cotton crop to keep up his establishment
Cabinet minUtors got $8,000 n year , a
do also the president of the senate am
ipoakcr of the house. Representative
and senators gets $5,000 n year and $ l'Ji
for pens nnd paper and tooth picks , to
cothor with milcngo nt 20 cents a mill
fruin their homes to Washington nnd bad
again. This matter of miloigo used fc
bo a great job , nnd members from Oregon
gen and California would charge the gov
eminent by way of Capo Horn , or by th <
Isthmus of Panama. In some cases mileage
ago so charged amounted to several time
their present salary , but when Home
Grcoloy came to congress , along Into ii
the forties , ho cot n clerk to take dowi
for him the exact distance by noares
post route from each member's homo ti
Washington , nnd aho the route chargct
in his account to congress. Ho then os
timntud the amount of tniloago each con
grceaman ohpnld have received and pu
this down with that ho actually did ro
ccivo , nnd also the excess of the ono eve
the other. The whole waa published ii
tabular form in The Now York Tribune
giving oaoh congressman's name , am
showing that over 108,000 unncccssar ;
miles wcro charged , which , nt tbo thoi
rates of 40 cento a milo , amounted ti
$73,402. CO. The expose created consternation
nation hero nt Washington. Noarl ;
every man in both sonnto and house wa
implicated , and Iho article was roprintoi
broadcast over the country. There wa
at this time no more unpopular man ii
the house than Iloraco Grooloy , uut tli
publication helped The Tribune , and i
started the work which eventually rorno
died the evil.
At this time senators and represents
lives got $8 a day , and the speaker of tin
homo and president pro torn , of the son
oonato $10 per day. In the first congros
the pay was $0 a uay for members of botl
houses , and in two years of John Adams
term as president , isolators received $ '
and representatives $0 per diem. Ii
1815 it waa changed to $1,500 pornnnuti
for members of both houses , nnd in 181 !
to $8 per day ,

In these early d&ys congressmen won
often hard up , and ElbridgoGerry in oni
of hia letters wrote that ho could no
leave Waihington because ho was bad

Fast Malls nnd Western Mails.
Chicago Inter Occam
Postmaster Cionoral Grcalmm is not
certain by any moans that the fast mail
train between New York and Chicago is
u fixed fact , but ho intends to make it
such if possible. A few years ago a line
was started by the late George S. Bangs
with high hopes ot permanency. But
this much ia true , the system ought to bo
maintained , and what is moro , reforms
unnilar in spirit are required in the mail
service from nnd to Chicaro westward.
In nothing is the inability of the east
to appreciate the west moro plainlyshown
than in this matter of postal facilities. It
lias never been possible to got the facili
ties necessary to put the west upon a pro
per postal footing , as compared with the
states ou the Atlantic const. If this city
hud the carriers to which it is entitled ,
the not revenue from this branch of the
local service would bo largely increased ,
nnd if the mail trains out of Chicago
westward started at bettor hours antt ran
foster , immense advantages would result
to the public and to the department.
This is not a local interest. Chicago ia
not the chiei Builcrer by the unfair treat
ment in question. It is the people of the
west. Great cities can take care of them
selves. The inadequacy of the carrier
system has developed the district tele
graph system , but in the rural districts
there is no substitute to bo had. The
people are dependent practically upon tlio
postofllco system , for inter-communication
at long range.
Postmaster "General Grcsham in his
annual report gives a table showing the
amount of postal revenue collected by
each state and territory fur the year end.
log Juno 30 , 1883 , The aggregate ia
844,817.473 81) ) . Of course , Now York
loads all the rest , 18.12 per cent of the
total amount coining from that state.
Pennsylvania is next , 9.03 ; but Illinois is
third , 8.55 being its quota. Even the
territory of Dakota ia ahead of several
states. It outranks Dolowaro , West
Virginia , Arkansas , Mississippi , South
Carolina , Oregon , and Florida , and
nearly equals Vermont , Rhedo
Island , Now Hampshire , Louisiana ,
North Carolina , and oven Alabama. Even
Georgia , the empire ntuto of the south ,
is loss than twice the size of Dakota from
a postal point of view , and Dakota ia not
yet u ktato. It is not too much to say
that from 10 to 15 per cent of the entire
mail of the country starts from or paasei
through Chicago. Not that it all goct
through this ottlco , by any means , but ii
goes to its deatiu&tinn via this city.
The entire northwest is interested it
quickviiud raUirny facilities for mail mat
or went from Chicago , nnd the members
> f congress should pool their issues nnd
demand it. The present postmaster gen-
ral will back their clForta , ns ho knows
ell the needs oHho rapidly developing
iountry , The railroad companies would
ihorlan the time on Iho road and provide
: arlior mall trains , if the proper pressure
were brought to boar upon them , nnd the
ilaco to begin is in congress.

ivil to which they give rise is trivial ns
ompnred with the benefits which they
tonfor. There is danger that the ill ro
ute into which they nave fallen will fur
nish eastern prejudice an excuse for cut
ting down the appropriation. The post
master general pared everything down
irotty cTosolybut the nppropriaiton com-
iiittco soenia dispos < > d to prune very much
more. The service is threatened with
xippling retrenchment for the domagog-
cal use that could be made of the claim

iostal rights of their constituents.

HnUIng Strawbcrrlofl.
While nearly all of our moist valued
'ruits require more or less time for the
Ipvelopmcnt of the seed into the bush-
ino or tree , ns previous conditions before
, ho period of fructification , there is ono ,
whoso luciousness nnd beauty is unqucs-
' .ioncd , which requires no moro time to
aiso than some of the cereal crops. This
ruit is the strawberry , and anyone having
nuch or little space can grow > the berry
o their advantage. Says The Chicago
Times : 'The plants are hardy and pro
ductive in every state and territory in
the country. In factit is extremely
difficult to decide which ono offers the
most advantages for producing this most
delicious fruit. The strawberry docs ex
ceeding well in these parts of the country
whore oranges , lemons , figs , bananas , and
pineapples abound , and does equally
well in regions so far north that the
moat hardy apples will not mature. But
a very small amount of land is required
to raise enough stawborrics to supply an
ordinary family. A square rod , if treated
properly , will produce as many straw
berries as a common family will require
during their season. The plants multi
ply very fast. Every plant sot out iu the
spring may bo made to produce from ton
to twenty plants during the season. By
manuring the parent plants the young
ono will bo strong and stocky. Straw
berry plants como into bearing quickly.
If they are rooted in pots in the summer
and sot out early in the fall , they will
produce a fine crop the following year.
No other fruits except melons and toma
toes , which are generally ranked with
vegetables , can bo produced so quickly.
A person who does not wish to lay out
much money in commencing with straw-
bnrrics can procure early in the spring a
dozen strong plants of some good variety
and raise from them plants enough to set
a square rod of Innd. By rooting the
young plants in small pots like these
used by florists they will bo in a condi
tion toaot out in Soptomborand by mulch
ing they will troduco a good crop next
season. The plants sot out for propogat-
ing purposes should bo planted in very
rich soil , and considerable distance apart ,
and well cultivated. Runners will ap
pear about the last of Juno. They should
bo allowed to spread in all directions. At
the points where rudimentary plants ap
pear on the runners the little pots should
bo sunk into the ground and the
runner hold in place by a
small stone , a forked stick , or a
piece of wire bent like a hair-pin. The
pota must bo filled with rich earth in
which the roots will spread. Several
good plants may often be obtained from
the same runner. After they have all
become established in the pots , the run
ner may bo cut and the original plant loft
to grow by itself. The plants rooted in
this way may bo put into permanent rows
without interfering with their growth. A
hole being made with a trowel , the pot is
inverted and thumped on the bottom , the
plant being caught in ono hand. When
placed in the ground it should bo pressed ,
lirmly around the roots. The name pots
may bo used for rooting plants for several
years. Good , strong plants may bo
raised by setting the propagating plants
as directed above and allowing the young
plants to take root in the ground. If
carefully taken up when the soil is damp ,
as after a rain , they may bo removed
aomo diatnnco without injury. Plants
raised near whore they nro wanted for
totting do much bettor than those ob
tained from a distance
For garden culture the soil for straw
berry plants should bo well prepared.
The spade is preferable to the plow for
pulverizing it. Unless it is naturally
very rich considerable well-rooted stable
manure should bo applied and incorpor
ated with the soil by spading. . Moat ofi
it should bo buried quite deeply. The
roots should bo induced to ponotrnto the
soil as far as possible. The plants wiJL
suflbr loss from drought if the soil is
spaded deeply If ground is. scaroo the
rows may bo sixteen inches , apart , ami
the plants stand at the same distance in
the rows. Next every fourth cow w
space two foot wide should bo left for a.
path for convenience in cultivating the
plants nn picking the berries. _ 1 the
plants are sot out in the spring they
should not bo permitted to produce fruit
that season. The flower stalks should
be cut off as soon as they appear seas
as to throw all the sap into the plant.
For the same reason the ruuuers
should bo cut of } ' . Tito otalkn
and runners- may bo easily piuched
oil'when they are young and tender. If
they uro allowed to bocouui tough it will
be necessary to cut them. A sharp spade
may be employed to out runners. Little
other attention will bo required except
to keep the ground free from weeds.
With a favorable season the plants will
cover about half the ground by fall. On
the approach of winter the plants should
bo covered to the depth of three or four
inches with hay or straw. It can bo hold
in position BO it will not bo blown away
by the wind by laying rails along the
paths. Aa the frost leaves the ground iu
the ipring the covering should bo remov
ed. PlanU treated in this way will pro
duce a largo crop , of very tine berries the
year after they are planted out. By
forking up the soil between the plaut&
aud adding soiuo more manure and soil ,
they will continue to produce- well two , or
three years.
Persons luving time and land to divota
to atrawbunry culture can scarcely do bet
ter than to set ono > or two hundred plants
each year tmd treat them as ubova dinct-
ed for the aako of the crop they will have
the year after they are sat out. The
borrita produced on younj ; planU are
much larger and finer than , those on old
ODMVhon each plant stands by itself
the berries ripen much ba'ter than whuj
tUo plaatj are crowded , With tou plant *
kept in ri'c'r ground for propagating pur
poses the reqtu'lo number of young nnd
strong plants can bo raised. Strawberries
of smaller slzo nnd poorer quality can bo
raised in n milch raster way. The soil
can bo prepared with the plow nnd har
row , the plants act in rows from two nnd
n half to three foci apart and the ground
tot ween them worked with n cultivator.
If the rows nro quite straight the cultiva
tor may be run close to- the plants without
injuring them. Of coureo it will bo nec
essary to use the hand hoe between
plants in the rows. Two or throe good
crops can bo obtained ftom plants sot out
nnd tended in this way. Unless pains betaken
taken to keep most of the runners cut off
the plants become too thick to bo strong ,
nnd the berries will bo small. The soil
becomes hnrd nnd looses its fertility , as
the btrawboiry p.u it isn gross feeder. A *
strawberry plants become old now roots
appear near the surface of the
ground and the plnnts appear to rise.
They may bo kept in fair condition by
placing a coating of woll-rotted manure
on the ground between them nnd lessen
ing the soil with n fork. Transplanting
caii bo done best with n garden trowel
while the soil is quito damp. It is always
best to cut oil' the dead nnd lower leaves
before setting out the plants. If the roots
nro very long they should bo shortened
by the use of shears. It is much better
to shorten roots than to double them up
in planting.

ing THE BKK to bo interested nnd in the
habit of encouraging every laudable
entcrpriso throughout the state , it is
but fair that your devote a small space in
your columns to notice their efforts nnd
make known a few of their wants , for
they nro nil your ftionds and patrons.
The first wo noticed was that they had
a place to accommodate visitors , a pleas
antly located now hotel , built lately , aud
managed in such a nice , hospitable man
ner by Mr. Alex McDougal and wife , that
ono is tempted to prolong his stay.
Our old friends Brunor & Rebor have
increased their capacity by the erection
of a new addition to their former room
nnd now carry ono of the largest retail
stocks in the county. They are earning
their own reward , being kept busy all
the timo.
H. Kramburg has also put up n now
buildiug and brought in a general mer
chandise stock. Ho is doing well.
The irrepressible Gus Noltio is every
where at once that is , wherever there is
a marketable hog , nnd it is worthy of no
tice that whenever he goes for a hog he
generally gets him , no matter what the
price.
The elevator men , Messrs. Swaray &
Sailing , have boon a sort of "bonamu" to
the farmers this winter by buying their
soft corn nnd paying good round figures
for it. Don't ' know how they make nny
money , but they nro getting rich , H. J.
Rolf , another gtnin man , has been preparing -
paring for the coming season , by enlarg
ing his elevator nnd building extensive
cribs. Ho has flourished in the past and
expands moro and more as time goes on ,
and is nearly ready to get married.
Doc Canon has quit trying to preserve
the health of the community by hydro-
gagues and tonics alone , so has added a
choice stock of groceries to his stock of
drutj3. Ho says people need good
nourishment as well ns medicines , nnd
though it detracts somewhat from bis-
personal beauty to handle groceries , yet
he is a very wilting martyr.
Alox. MoKonzio , watchmaker and
jeweler , is erecting n now store building
on High street.
H. Goodheart is nlso putting up a busi
ness room where ho expects to keep a
stock of "wot groceries. "
There is n splendid opening hero for a
lasgo general merchandize store , and the
citizens will offer flattering inducements
to any active firm who will engage in
such an enterprise. There is also a- general <
oral demand for miles around hero for a
hardware and tin store , such n business
would bo a success from the beginning.
All the people hero are greatly en
couraged at the promised completion , this
summer of the cut-oiTifrorn Omuhn. It
is well understood that the Union Pacific
proposu making this place the junction ,
and bringing Elkhorn ten miles closer to
Omaha , and the first station westin ; fact
ovorbody here is happy in the anticipa
tion of a prosperous season and splendid
orops V.
.QorHel'ord's Acid Pliooplinto Assists-
Mental Labor.
Prof. AuoLi'ii Oiui , Now York , says ofi
tlio Acid Phosphate : "I have boon en
abled to devote myself to hard mental
labor , from shortly aftpr breakfast till a
late hour in the evening without experi
encing the slightest relaxation , nnd I
would not now at any rate dkpcnco with
it. "
How Delegates Should be Sent
Boston Advertiser.
While pledgpd delegates ought not to
compose the Chicago convention the
republican , not tlio postscript convention
the feeling , of the people about desirable -
able candidates can legitimately be ex
pressed. Delegates are to deliberate ,
but not blindly , as would be the case if
these representatives neither hooded
popular mnuifosUtiona nf > preferocce , nor
were nblo.io discover nny predilections.
