THE Utah logialaturo began its session January 14th , and oxpiroa by limitation March 13th. So far the business of the members has boon to draw their salary with regularity and dispatch. COUNCILMAN BAKER is a member of the liconao board , but up to this data ho has utterly neglected to perform the duties vr Inch the law imposes on him. While ho might have boon overruled by the major ] ty , in an effort to prevent the iesuo of license to dons and dives it was his duty , neverthelessto put himself on record and not lot the matter go by default. Mu. JAMES OHEIOHTON , chairman of the board of public works , is altogether too sensitive. Ho has naked the council to investigate the charges made against him which no ono believes , und from a source to which no ono , except Mr. Oroighton , pays the slightest attention. Ilowovor , as the investigation has boon asked for , -wo hope that the committee will make it thorough and give the public all the * * facts. PRESIDENT WAKUEN , of Boston uni versity , on Monday last road an elabor ate essay before the Boston Evangelical alliance to provo that the Garden oi Eden was located at the north polo. We have always boon at a loss to know whj so much effort has boon made to discovoi the north polo , but Mr. Warren uolvci the mystery. It is now in order to iil out an Arctic expedition to search foi the remains of Adam and Eve , and brinf thorn to the United States for oxhlbitiot in a dime museum. WHY does not the city council insis upon a report from the license board The law requires the board to pass upoi very application , and their action ough to bo on record , but the board has hai no cessions , and there is no record of it vote. The petitions have boon signal promiscuously by the people who do no own a dollar's worth of property , am who do not reside in the wards and prc cincta , and wo are told that nearly nl the bonds uro worthless. Tom , Did and Harry , or any person who are con von'ent are allowed to go on the bonds TUB thirty-day United States sonata from the Centennial otato has boon favored vorod with still another evidence of hi legendary good luck. Hia history i that of a remarkably lucky man. Froi the time that ho grub-staked the succosi ful prospector , his star lias been in th ascendancy. From- his grocery in th gulch ho graduated from the Unite States Bonato , and immortalized himsol as the $250 night shirt senator. Havin boon lioutonant-govcrnor of Colorado , h now aspires to the governorship. Alroad the Lradvillains delight in calling hit governor , and now comes the news that i the Matchless mine ho has dovolopo another body of ere that returns § 10,00 par carload narrow-gaugo at that , as w Are informed. Tin's richfind and th jnonoyod result assure Tabor a noli delegation from Lake county to the stat -convention , and a desperate struggle fc the governorship. There ought not t bo any further doubt of Tabor's nomine tion , Ho has struck it rich again just i : the nick of time. A few carloads of ore -at $10,000 per car , will probably onabl iiim to win in the convention , and if th mine doesn't give out meantime , ho ca distribute several hundred carload throughout Colorado , where they will d the most good before election day. Ir the fast mail is to bo delayed at th transfer two hours by the Union Paciil waiting for a delayed train of the tripai tito combination , Omaha has no use fc the fast mail. Last evening the foi mail arrived on time over the Burlingtoi but the Chicago & Northwestern tral happened to bo late , and the Union Pi cifio waited for it. Meantime the fa : mail was detained at the transfer unt the Northwestern arrived , Unless tl fast mail can bo immediately brougl over to Omaha upon its arriv \ at the transfer it will prove flat failure so far as benefiting Omaha concerned. Furthermore , it stands i reason that the Burlington being no an independent line , and receiving tl benefit of the advertising arising from tl fast mail train , will be hampered in | eve ; vray by its rivals composing the tripa tite pool. That the tripartite pool ci defeat the object of the fast mail BO f as * Omaha is concerned there is no doul at least so long as the Burlington runs ! fast mail to the transfer , for Ft is an oai matter to hold the Union Pacific < the other side an hour or two , Tl Burlington , however , can beat tl tripartite io this little gaino by ru ning its fast mail train into Omaha v Pacific Junction and PUttsmouth , and will probably do it rather than bo su jeoUd to petty annoyances and ha Omaha imposed upon by its envio rival * . WtltClI WAY 13 YOVn JIllONCJIO TlUVKLlNUt To the Kdltor of THE BKK : Counintw ) , Nob. , March 10 , 1881. Tun BEE thinks the democratic party , in view of the vacillating course upon the vital questions of the day , is not to bo trusted with the national administration. Very likely a party that has not the moral courage ( when it has the power ) to correct the abuses under which all the laboring mid producing classes ( at least ) are groaning , ought not to bo trusted by any party or anybody. But what shall bo said of the party through wlioio ad ministration thcso evils have como , or can redress bo expected from that source ? How can you consistently advocate onti- monopoly in Nebraska and monopoly in Washington ? Is it on the principle that n inrvn not honest enough to run a cus tom house is a fit person for chief execu tive ? It seems to mo that if I advocated a principle or n reform , I would not make it purely local. It has boon said that charity that begins and ends at homo has very little of real charity about it , and I take it that the same is true of principle. The position of THE BEE that it will not support the demo cratic party because it fears that party will not pass the needed reforms , but will support the republican because it knows that it not only will not pass those reforms , but will prevent , if possi ble , any other party from doing it , is to say the least , a queer ono. Which way is your broncho traveling ? or , are you trying to ride two hobbies , oblivious of the fate of the man in the fable ? That article reminds ono of the burlesque report port made to parliament on the discovery of the gun-powder plot , when the court re ported that they had discovered thirty barrels of gun-powder under the parlia ment house , and had removed fourteen of them and did not think the othoi sixteen would do any harm. THE Bui thinks if monopoly is kept out of No brnska , it will no harm in the rest of the states. Is that your policy 7 Please give your readers more light. Yours truly , A. M. HALLING. The Bun is not a lance in the hands o a political Don Quixote to bo shivorcc in a vain-glorious assault upon wine millsnor is our broncho a Ilosinanto car rying a crank over untrodden and impas sable political highways and by-ways In the impending national campaign w have decided to pursue the course dicta ted by practical common aonso as th most conducive to the public welfare. I is as clear as the sun at high noon tha the presidential campaign of 1884 mus bo fought out between the republican and the democrats. No thir party , organized at this late daj has the ghost of a show for controlling majority of the electoral vote. An diversion that would prevent cither th republicans or democrats from having majority in the electoral college simpl means a democratic president and a ri publican vlco president. Under the coi stitUtion whenever the electoral cour falls to show a majority of the entire o octoral college for any candidate for prc idont the house of representatives olec 1 the president and the sonata olccts tl vice president. The vote for presidon in case of an election by the house , takonbystatos/oach / state having ono vet A majority of the states are roprosontc in the present house by democrat Therefore an election by the house wou' moan a democratic president. Tl Unilod States sonata is republican , ar therefore the vice-president , if loft to i choice , would be n republican. To orgai izo a third party with a view of captu ing a few electoral votes would rosu simply in the election of a democrat president. If wo were convinced tin the election of a democratic preside ; and a democratic administration in n a tionnl affairs -would give this count ) bettor and snfor government than v now have wo would raise the democrat flag to our mast head and fight it out c that lino. If on the contrary wo wo simply anxious to curry favor with c parties wo would take to the woods , at avoid the discussion of the president ! issue. Our position in the uoxt proi doutial campaign has boon taken dolibo atoly and frankly'defined : "As between the republican and don ocratio parties , wo do not hoaitato to o : press n preference for the party that h ; never faltered in its loyalty to the Unic and to which belongs the credit of mnl ing the declaration of independence living fact. While it is true the ropubi can party has fulfilled the great inissic for which it was organized by its fein ders , and admitting at the outset tin there are no vital living iisues which d vide it to-day from the democratic part ; yet wo do not believe the people of th' country ran bo gainers by tailing tl : reins of government from rcpu'ilicai and placing them in the hands of the di mocraoyj That party goes before th country in the present campaign as tl champion of no great reform and the oj ponont of no flagrant abuse. " The democratic party iu a crab , tin moves forward by going backward. ' . never has boon able to grapple with tl living issues of the day , but always o ] joots to any great reform , on tl ground that it is contrary to the polli and principles of its grand fathers , i : eluding Andrew Jackson. Only last week a memorial in fav of the postal telegraph , pending bofo the Iowa legislature , was defeated by tl democratic bourbons combining with tl republican monopolists in the sona committee. Ono of these democrat crabs , when accused of playing into tl hands of monopoly , rose to a person explanation , and is quoted as follows : "Without an oxulanation on my pai a wrong impression would bo created to why the democratic members of t ] committee on federal relations oppos < the memorial , Wo opposed it , M Speaker , simply because it would bo co trary to the principles of the party which we belong for us to have doi otherwise. The democratic party is o poied to placing iu the hands of the go : cral government any moro power than already possesses , The postal tolograp adopted by the government , would gi it fully one thousand moro oppojitii offices than it now controls. " a Here we have a striking illustration it the crawfish democracy. They wou bvo subject the people of this country to t ' us exactions of an avaricious mouop'c rather than place in the bauds of t government the power to relieve them. Had the democrats been in power , wo question whether this country would to day have on joyed the advantages of pos tal orders , postal notes nnd registered package deliveries by mail , which have Involved an increase of federal employes. Our refusal to go over to the democ racy for obvious reasons does nut show inconsistency. Admitting that neither the republican nor the democratic party , as now constituted , will correct the abuses under which the labor ing nnd producing classes are groaning , wo believe that wo have boon consistent in choosing the loss of two ovils. While it is true that nearly all the abuses , which are the outgrowth of vast combinations of capital , have sprung up since the advent of the re publican party into power , wo cannot ignore - nero the fact that the changed condition springs moro from the marvelous inven tions of the ago and the acquisition of wealth through the now channels of trade and traffic which these inventions have opened. No political party could have entirely prevented the creation of gigantic monopolies such as the railroad and telegraph hnvo become within the post ton years. The republican masses are just as earnest in their desire to curb the power of those monopolies as the democratic masses , but neither of those parties is so consti- tutcd'as to successfully prevent the mon opoly lobby from corruptly manipulating the national legislature. The country is not sufficiently aroused , as yet , to successfully cope with the con federated monopolies , and these who desire - sire to chock the Vandorbilts , Hunting- tons and Goulds in their rapacious careoi must begin the reform at homo , witli their party caucuses , conventions and legislatures. THE BEK is not , as yet , t great national paper. Itsinfluoncois neces sarily circumscribed and within the radiui of its territory it proposes to advance tin cause of anti-monopoly to the best of itt ability. It has already done much ir that direction , and it will continue tlu fight where it can accomplish the bcsl practical results. The issue of anti monopoly will bo made squarely in tin selection of the next legislature and it our congressional canvas. Nebraska be ing republican , there will bo no contro a versy over the presidential election. Thi whole contest will narrow down to loca y 0 issues , and theeo issues will find n wanner advocate on behalf of anti monopoly men and measures than Tu OMAHA BEE. When that time cornea nobody will have to inquire which wa ; our broncho is traveling. NO MOKE NONSENS . It is useless to blame tbo proprietor i this saloon for hit breaking the law. I is human nature to take advantage of law of this kindospocinlly when the laxity o is their enforcement is such as to nncourag saloon keepers in their infraction. It i n self-evident fact that if the saloon i question had boon closed on Sunday mgli last , the killing of James Nugent had nc taken placo. Nowtho question suggest itself : Why was not the saloon closcc As readily comes the answer : Bocaus the proprietor know the otiicors of th law would not compel him to closo. ] was money in his pocket to keep opot and keep open ho did. Others woul hnvo done likewise , and , it is a wol known fact , that others did keep ppo their saloons. * * * * There is n disposition of The Republican to bo s < voro it ) this case. On the contrary , it i disposed to treat with consideratior mildness and justness all who mayin an way , bo included in the stri < turos which it has made , nnd which i proposes to make in this unfortunate o < curronco. Republican. There is something very tender an touching in the nbovo. It savors vor much of sympathyif not nflbotionfor th keeper of the notorious variety diva i which a murder was committed last Sun day. If the proprietor is not to blain for breaking the law , becnuso ho knoi that others violated the law , who is t blame ? If a burglar or a thief know that housebreaking and robbery hav escaped punishment , does that juatif ; him in committing the name crimes Would it not bo putting it very mild ti charge the rosponeibilty upon the magis V tratos alone ? Mildness is all very wol j. in its proper place , but justice cannq condone offenses that are committed deliberately liboratoly and with full knowledge of al the consequences. It is notorious tha the Theatre Comiquo , formerly St. Eimo has boon a resort for all sorts o outlaws. It has done moro to domorolizi and deprave the young men of this cit ; than any other so-called place of amuse mont. The proprietor know that man ; of the most dangerous characters won frequenters of the place. His bar-koopo was a desperado , who had killed at leas two men , and the frequent occurrence o robberies in and around the place , th numerous disturbances , made it a diaor doily houso- beyond all question. Now wo harbor no malice against Jack Nugont Wo have no desire to do him injustice but mildness and forbearance are out o the question when public safety and gooi order demand that his , and all other dan ' ° gorous resorts shall bo suppressed Jauk Nugent , by the violent death of hi own brother , must bo convinced that th good of the community demands thn such places shall not bo toloi atod. This is not the first tire time that life und limb have boon joopai dirud in the Theatre Comiquo bar-root ! and any man with heart or nunhooc' after seeing his own brother alain , woul P- forever abandon the rough path and pi iilt Pii his brains , money and energy in sera lt honorable business , that would lift hii to the piano of respectability. The proi m of Omaha is largely to blame for the e : isting state of affairs. There ha > of been altogether too much mill Id I ness and consideration chen ho I for disreputable resorts , and facts hai ily boon suppressed that would long ago ha' ho o impelled the authoHUc * to take uctto Vo believe that that it ' 'gH time for a svolution in Omaha whit'u will result in thorough cleaning out of the thugs , liovcs and roughs , nnd the fVUuro rigid cstaint of all men nnd occupations that TO in any way subject to police regula- on. If the police do not take prompt nd nctivo stops with n view to thi < r end , ho citizens will bo compelled to organize their own defense and put an eud to 10 reign of lawlessness , or TUK MISSOURI. It is questionable whether Nebraska an much longer maintain neighborly ro- .tinns with Dakota and sustain untarn- ihod her present reputation. Wo have mdeavorod to provide her vrith fuel , food nd clothing and a constitution to rongthcn her for the matrimonial state , nd in return wo have received bliz- rds. It was not until the present win- or that the donozins of the Missouri vnl- y fully realized her prodigious resources L this direction. Week after week she 03 hurled her frigid blasts at her south * rn neighbors , socking in this way to litigate her misery by general distribu- on. She is too promiscuous with her iroducts. No ono will dispute her right o raise whatever may provo profitable in pecuniary way , but to raieo polartio adcs and sow it broadcastculls for stern obuko if not ico-olation from the rest of ho nation. Patience as a virtue loses its iharms when forced to face a blast from , here nnd coal heaps turn to ashes under ho blighting influence of the blizzard. iko a Kansas cyclone , it swoops down , rest laden and iurious upon an unoflond- ng community without warningstranglce very prospect of sunshine , hugs the iroath out of the people , presses palms ivitli the coal dealers and moves on to ward Missouri with a blue streak of pro < "anity in _ ita wake.

Wyoming is struggling against great odds to retain judicial as well as goo raphical control of the Yollowstoni national park. The bill of Senator Yes ! to give Gallatin county jurisdiction ovei the park is mildly dubbed n "Montani grab , ' * which will bo fought to the las ditch. Just before the legislature o Wyoming adjourned § 500 was appro pnated to telegraph the protest of thn body to congress and defray the expanse of a "commissioner" to go to Washing ton to do the kicking for the entire tern tory and mop the capital corridors wit Missour'syVest ; The suffrage convoiitio won't bo a circumstance compared witl the rnckotv when the Cro hole commie donor begins ahc. ing. The Sioux City & Pacific railroad con : pany appears to have rail design * on th coal fields and ranges of Wyuming an eventually connecting with the Contn Pacific at Ogden. Mr. John Andrews locating engineer of the road , while ii Fremont recently , stated to a reporter c The Journal that ho had completed th survey of the proposed line to Ogden The surveyed route commences at Valor tine , the present terminus of the road and runs northward to within abou three miles of the north line of Nebraska running west to Camp Sheridan. Abou fifty miles west of Camp Sheridan it i proposed to run a branch to Rapid City in the Black Hills. From the point wea of Camp Sheridan , the line goes west i Fort Fetterman , Wyo. , nnd from there i runs along the line of the Platte to For Casper. From l oit Casper it will ru : southwest , up the valley of the Sweet water river , to Fort Aspin , thence t Hams Fork , where it crosses the Orego ; Short Line of the Union Pacific , and the : joutli to Corrine , Utah , where it strike the Central Pacific , thence south t Ogdon. Mr. Andrews says it is not dc cided whether it will bo run from Hani Fork to Corrine or direct to Ogden , bu ho says fifty miloscan bo saved by runnin to Corrino. The branch to the Blac Qille , from n point wust of Camp Sheri dan , will not be built the present season but will bo through inside of two years A road through this country is wbat i needed to open up a vast amount of toi ritory for settlement. .A few years ago the Denver & No\ Orleans , after completing the line fror Denver to Pueblo , found itself practical ! shut out of tiio commercial world b , rival roads. The Santa Fo refused t prorate or receive and deliver freight con signed to it on equal toarins with otho roads , consequently all through businos wont to the Rio Cranda and the Now Or loansroad drafted among the finnnciu breakers. In this desperate condition ol affairs suit was begun by the road to com pel the AtchisonTopoka & Santa Fo roai to unite with the Denver & Now Orluan railroad company in forming a througl line of railroad transportation to am from Denver over the Denver & No\ Orleans railroad. By decree of th United States district < tourt a compulsory business connection was established b ; the two companies and rules laid dow : for the government of their conduct ta ward each other in this now relation. Ii other words , the court made an arrangement mont of business intercourse of these rail roads such as iu its oppinion they ough m law to have made for themselves. The case came up on appeal in th supreme court last week. The decree o the court below was reversed nnd th cauio remanded with directions to dis misa. This court holds that the consti tutional right in Colorado to connect rail road with railroad docs not of itself iiu ply the right of connecting business wit ! business , that the courts cannot compu ono railroad to do business with anotno according to a scheme which the } ! ( th courts ) may devise , that the question ii relation to these two loads , as far a through business and through tickets , th interchange of cars , etc. , is concerned , i legislative rather than judicial , and tha upon the existing facts a court of ohanc < ! ry can afford no remedy. The breaking out of the fooi and mout disease in Woodion county , Kansas , hi 1J J caused considerable alarm among tli n cattlemen of the west. Woodson count ( 'o. is situated in the southeastern portion < wjtho state where the animals are confine n. ( to fence lands and where quarantine. 105 ilntions can Tbo thoroughly enforced.

Grand Island is trying to strangle the bird that lays the golden egg . Instead f inviting railroads to the town the council has done ita utmoat to lock out a rival road. The B. & M. asked for right of way through a certain street , offered to pay all damages tc property obulting , and was willing to comply with any reasonable restrictions the council might enact , but instead ol extending a friendly hand the council re jected all propositions This action is all the more surprising when wo consider the efforts of other t wns to secure rail road competition , nnd offering money , bonds , nnd right of way as inducements. The trouble is the B. & M. did not "see1 the councilman in advance of the U. P. From all accounts the Grand Island coun cil is as solid for the latter road as the immaculate twelve of Omaha. The In dependent truly says : In knocking ai our doors the 13. & M. asks no bonds or any aid of any kind worth speaking of. In striking contrast has boon the actioi of the U. P. , which has never taken i stop without asking aid to the last con1 passible i grant , oven to asking befoto Duilding a now eating house , that i should bo exempt from taxes. It has received coived about $125,000 in bonds , and now these who shouted loudest and longos for the giving of this vast sum , begrudge the B. & M. the portion of a little use ( street for a short distance as right o way. Wo are not complaining at an ; aid heretofore extended to the U. P ; , bu merely mention the fact to show how in consistent somopooplocanbo. Thousand can bo given to the U.

The people of Custor county nro rojoio ing over a good prospect for early rail road connection with the rest of the state Papers of the county are full of runprs o B. & M. surveying parties skirmishing'a different points , seeking as practical am profitable route to the northwest. It i well-known that the company had deter mined to extend north from Columbu last spring , but the U. P , , blocked th game by covering the same territory Either Grand Island or Kearney will be the starting point of the proposed road The company has run two preliminary lines from Grand Island , both heading in a northwesterly direction. Ono of these lines runs nearly duo west , and strike the table laud south of Rundlet..in Hal county , and passing through or near Soc Town , in Buffalo county , strikes the South Loupe valley about three mile above the mouth of the Beaver , follow up the South Loup to the mouth of Ell Crook , thonoo up the latter stream where the surveyors wcro at last accounts am heading for the Muddy below Algernon Another preliminary surrey has boon made which i passes near Jiunnolsburg thence through the sand hills to th South Loupr at the mouth of Swco Crook. Tliis line runs up the Soutl Loup to the Beaver.
