Tun republic in * of Wu t Virginia will
hold their convention at Wheeling to-day.
The republicans of that state are united ,
and have great hopes of carrying the
atato as the democrats are divided into
two bitter factiotn.
OI.KVKLAND has boon otlicmlly notified
of his nomination , and that useless cere
mony having boon performed ho is ex
pected to produce aomo sort of a docu
ment addressvl to the notification committee -
mittoo in which ho will sot forth thi !
reasons why ho expects to bo elected. If
Cleveland undertakes to duplicate the
democratic platform in all its length and
breadth he ought to send out his letter
hound in ahoopikin.
NKIIHASKA is the only utato this side ol
thn Ilockiea where four conta a mile in ex >
acted forp&ssongor faro by the trunk line
railroads. Kansas , Georgia , Texas , Soutl :
Carolina and even Virginia , where there
is loss travel on the average than there
is in Nebraska , have prohibited railroads
from charging more than thrco cents.
Hotv much longer is Nebraska going tc
submit to this oxtortionl
TUB DUCOOBS of the electrical street
railway in Cleveland will load to the nso
of electricity as motor on the entire
Btroot railroad system of that city , which
inoludes twenty-eight miles. It is said
to bo cheaper than horses , and a great
deaLmoro convenient , The current ii
carried by underground conductors laic
in oonduiU. The electrical street railway
will probably bo adopted in all the groa
ities , and electricity may yet take tin
place of steam as a motor on the entire
railway eyatem of the country.
TUB now city directory of St. Paul , Min
neaota , contains 30,729 names , and mul
tiplying by the multiple of throe the
population would bo 119,187 , but na the
directory has appeared one month earlier
than that of last year , a deduction of onu
month is made by the J'lonccr-Prcen ,
which claims a population for St. Paul of
118,177. The recent directory of Min
neapolis contained 89,533 iiaraoi , which
multiplied by three gives a population ol
118,599 , a slight majority over St. Paul.
It is a close race between those twc
grout cities of the northwest , and it ie
-Romowhat surprising that the St. Paul
directory , coming out lest , does not con <
tain more names than that of Slinnoapolii
It may bo that the St I'nnl directory man
lias boon honest in his compilation.
However , there is no denying the fact
that St. Paul and Minneapolis continue
to have a remarkable growth. They haw
more than doubled in population iii four
.years. The census of 1880 gave Minne
apolis 40,880 , and St. Poul 41,498.
"Thoro seems to bo no doubt that both of
-these cities now have a population of 100-
4)00 ) each , and that if they continue to increase -
crease in the same ratio they will haw
.about 200,000 each in 1890.
TiDiadmireraof Loran Clark insist that
Lo ought to bo nominated for congress because -
cause ho polled moro votes in the third
-dut-ict when ho was running for state
troapurtir two years ago than woro.polled
for Valentino. It should bo burno in
mind that Valentino ran about 8,000 behind -
hind his ticket in the district. But Mr.
Clark's homo organ , the Albion Argun ,
caps the climax when itTaays :
"It is a wcll-knonn fact , that Mr.
Clark's defeat for state treasurer , two
-years ago , vras compassed and brought
about by methods tlmt would not bear
investigation. In Douglas und Lancaster
counties alone , large numbers of fraudu
lent tickets were polled , and Mr. Clark
was thus defrauded in the latter count )
alone of nearly 1 200 votes , which wore
iatendcd to be cast for him , "
Now this is the first time wo have
Jbeard of any fraudulent tickets in Douu
laa county. Bturdevant carried this
county by over 1000 majority , on a fail
rote , because he received the combined
jiati-iaonopoly and democratic vole , and
hundreds of republicans scratched the
Uokot.
The figures produced by the same pa
per to show that Clark received 73'J votes
jaoro than the combined rote received by
Weaver , Laird and Valentino are very
deceptive. Weaver received but a very
umall majority. only C25.in his district.
Laird } who -was elected by a plurality
lickodSDofa majority , and Valentine ,
who was also elected by a plurality , had
D990 less than a majority , That explains
Low Clark , who received 732 votes more
thin the throe congressmen , WM never-
iheltu b sat en by 4111 rotes.
IMPORTANT KA1LHOAL
The aupromo court of Nebraska recently
contly rendered an important docislot
which will bo of interest to every rail
road ehlpporin the stato. The case wai
entitled the Burlington ifc Missouri Uivei
Hallway company vs. the Chicago Lura
bcr company , and it was taken up 01
error from Otoo county. It was at
action in garnishment commenced by thi
defendant in error , the Chicago Lumbei
company , a judgment creditor of oni
William W. Babbott , against the plaintif
in error , thu railroad. company , as a sup
posed debtor of the said lUbbott , Thi
railroad company , in its answer , statoc
that at the time of the service of tin
summons it was indebted to Babbott ii
the Bum of $144 Dl for overcharge , beton
that time made , on freight. It seem
that the railroad company had in its pos
session at that tltno cloven carloads o
coal , worth $010 10 , consigned to Bah
bott , but the charges against the coa
amounted to $1,029 C3 , itemized as fol
lows : Freight and back chargesGCG 03
demurrage , 85 days in car , $330 ; unload
ing coal , $33 , being in the nggregat
$113 C2 moro than the value of the coal
The railroad company therefore insistci
that it was not indebted to Babbott ii
any amount. In the trial of the case Ii
the district court of Otoo conn
ty it WAS ahown that 'thi
railroad company had converted the coa
to its own ueo by unloading it into ill
011 bins. Judgment was rendered n
favor of the lumoor company for $141.
51.
In its brief before the supreme courl
the railroad company conceded that tin
freight charges were moro than the valui
of the coal , but that this was owing U
the fact that it was wrongfully turned it
transit from its proper course. "Ii
bhoukl have been sent ever 'the Counci
Bluff * & St. Joe railroad , but it was turn
ed and wont the roundabout way , moot
ing with several wash-outs , which causec
the freight to bo moro than the coal,1
is the admission of the railroad.
The supreme court in its decision declared
clarod that it know of no rule of lav
which will permit a railroad to wrongful
ly send freight by a "roandabouf way
and thus increase the coat of transporta
tion. The commerce of the country requires
quires not only cheap , but direct ani
rapid transportation.
As to the charge of demurrage thi
court hold that a railroad company is no
entitled to charge demurrage for freigh
standing in its cars , unless by virtue o
contract or statutory law. The com
pany's charge was not made by virtui
of any contract nor by any itnta
tory enactment , there being n <
authority of any kind permitting anj
such charge. As to whether demurragi
might bo charged in case of a contract U
that effect the court expressed no opinion
The practice of charging demurrage ha
been quite common in Nebraska , am
particularly so in Omaha. This deciiioi
ought to put an end to this species of rob
bery.
bery.Tho
The ohargo for unloading the coal , ii
the case under consideration , was no :
allowed , there being no claim , sys tin
court , that it cost any moro to unloac
this coal into the company's bins for iti
own use than it would had it belonged tc
the company in the first instance. The
court lays down the principle that a rail
road company cannot collect charges foi
unloading freight which it converts tc
its own use at the time of such unloading'
IOWA IN&VIIANCK.
The state nuditor of Iowa 'in his fif-
tconthannual inauianco reportsaysthatit
would seem to bo n serioud question , under
the present condition of the insurance
laws of the state , whether supervision ii
maintained for tha purpose of revenue tc
the state or protection to people
who insure. The intention of the law
is , of course , to protect the people from
fraud , but owing to ita loose con
struction the way is loft open for in
numerable frauds and speculative rob'
buries. The auditor very properly calle
for a prompt nnd thorough investigation
of the insurance business in Iowa , and
ho suggests that n system of regular ex
aminations of nil companies should be
itdoptod , and that they should beef
of frequent occurrence. There are 111
fire , marine and causally insurance com
panies doing business in Iowa. Sixteen
nro homo companies and ninety-
five are foreign. There are
seventy co-operative fire associations
known an farmers' mutuals. The aggre
gate amount of lire risks written in Ion a
during the year 1883 ( inclusive of co-op
oratjvo associations ) is shown to be
$203,238,129 ; the premiums received ,
$3,305,807 ; the losses incurred , $1,410 , .
785 , which.ehows an increase in bueiticsD
ever the prnvious year , in risks written
of $7,101,700 ; in premiums received ,
$387.201 ; and in increases In lostes in-
ourred of $513,033 as compared with lost
report. It will bo coon "that the insurance
anco business is carried on very oxten
/lively in Iowa. That it needs careful
watching cannot bo denied , and it would
loom that an ineur.nico department ought
lo lj created for that uapecial purpose.
TUB sidewalks on the business street
in the central portion of the city are in
i disgraceful condition , In the firit

'rout ' of ono building wo find n etom
valk , with the blocks all out of position ,
laino sticking up and the others de-
messed ; in front of the next building is
i biiok walk in the same condition ; next
somes a piece of worn out plank walk ;
hen follows a section of asphalt ; and at
oug intervals will bo found a pleco of
Artificial utoiie walk , smooth and well

TO on difloront loveli , and consequently
he cidoirslk la up and down , la tha
second place , where the walk ha * beer
extended to a width of twenty foot , the
additional space of four foot is either beIng -
Ing patched in a slovenly manner or it
loft entirely alono. Where the walk it
not filled out to the curb line , water
collects in the Intervening space and
forma a mud puddle. This is particular
ly the case at street corners , and podo <
atrians find it difficult in many places tf
cross without stepping into the mud. All
these defect * can bo seen on Farnair
and Douglas streets and on the
cross streets. Farnam and Douglas have
the worst wnlka in the city owing to i
lack of uniformity in material , surface
and width. The council ought to Uki
immedinto steps fo compel proocrtj
owners on those streets to put down t
uniform sidewalk. Now is the time tc
do it on Fitrnam street , na the vralk 01
this etreot has been widened to twontj
feet , and a great deal of now walk wil
have to bo laid. Everybody should bi
compelled to lay the walk to the ful
width and the walk the whole length <
the street ehould have an even surface
No moro plank walks should bo permit
ted on tins main thoroughfare , orn aiij
other principal business fltrcot.
Ar/niounx Omaha is ono of the health
iest citioa in the country , owing to iti
excellent surface drainage and Roweragi
system , yet there are precautions tn be
taken against a visitation of the ch Ittru
If the cholera reaches this country , i
may visit Omaha as it is located on om
of the great lines of transcontinental trav
el. Now is the time to clean up over ;
part of the city. Other cities nro a 1 read ;
takit.g precautionary measures , and Omahi
should not wait until the last moment
Every stagnant pond of water ( should bi
drained off or filled up , and every placi
where filth of any kind has accumulate
should bo cleaned up. Om
of the most . important stpp
to bo taken is to compel or induci
property owners to connect their prcmi
BOS with the sowers. Mtny of the prop
erty Owners , who wish to avoid expense
refuse to connect with the sewers , and
continue to throw their slops and re fun
mAtcr In the streets and alloys. If sucl
slovenly persona will not connect will
the sewers , they should bo arrested am
punished for making cecs-pools of thi
alleys. A system of garbage collectior
would also provo a valuable , aid in Im
proving the sanitary condition of th (
city , and a systematic inspection of thi
alloys by the police would bo a timely
precaution. The alloys ought to bo anc
can bo kept as clean as the principa
streets.
Tun city council ought to appoint i
general paving inspector , Tfho shall bi
responsible for all the inspection and tc
whom Ml sub-inspectors shall bo subject
Uniformity in inspection work is needed
and it can only be secured in this way ,
If such general inspector should be ap
pointed , wo know of no man moro com
petent for the place than Mr. D. Ken
iston , who haa been a paving inspoctoi
from the time that paving was begun ir
Omaha , and ho haa done his work in t
very satisfactory manner.
THF city council will htvo tc
order the telegraph company to move ita
poles on Farnam street oat to
the curb lino. The telegraph folks novcr
do anything of the kind without being
forced. At the same time it would bo
well to includu in the order the gas com
pany , as the street lamps will also have
to go to the curb lino. The proprietors
of hitcninR posts should nlsobo | ordered to
remove these obatructions at onco.

Correspondence of the BKK ,
I'oNi-v , Nrn. , July 28. The towr
of Ponca isn't aa largo at
several others in the state , It hasn't
the wealth of Omaha nor the politic *
importance of Lincoln , but novorthi
loss it ia not devoid of its peculiar , and
HS It claims , i > s pro-emiui'iit attractions.
First and foremost in the list of ad'
vantages is its location , being the most
beautifully situated of all Nebraska
villages , whether viewed from the nortli
south cast or wont , or , beat of all , from
ono of the blull * that surround it. Thi
town of I'oncrx ia now , ever haa been and
over will bo tlio prettiest nascinblcRo ol
liouaes in thu state 1 think I am safe ii :
stating that in proportion to its populv
tion I'oncn traiiancta moro business than
any other town in Nebraska , and
I may include the sister state !
uf Iowa and Kaunas , 1'onca has had nc
boom , no euddeti elevation , to bo sue
ceedcd by an cqutlly sudden fall , but
during the past two jeara it has expert
uncud n solid , substantial growth , more
fitio buildings having been erected it
that period than during the entire pnal
history of the town. The chance in the
business section has boon so marked thn'
it reminds ono of old Home , which undei
Augustus is naid to hnvo changed fron
bricl , to marble. Panc.t bids lair to at
tain t" the point at which Rome chanijec
nd idvAiico from frame to brick. Thi
turm n al point of a railroad , the county
seat of Diion county , thy principal towi
in thia toctiun , a solid growth in thi
past and good prospects for the future-
all these and other ] advantagcs too nuin
criuatobo inontionid in detail , consti
tnte Punca ono of the most prosperous o
the many prosperous towns of our proa
porous state. A. 0.

A correspondent of the Now Yort
Times , writing from Uaading , Pa. , saya
In thia eectiou the Polea , Iluugiriani
and Italians are rapidly crowding ou
Americana on now railroad and caua
work , ore nnd coal miuiuc , and othei
contract work rt-quiring arduous labor
Many are alto employed as laborers it
the iron milli. The neglect of concresi
to pass the bill against foreign contrac
or pauVer contract libor is creating f
great deal of discontent among thi
American born laborers , whoao wages an
being eeriously interfered with. Heretofore
tofore § 1.25 waa the average pay per da ]
in thia aection ; now labor can bo had ai
low as 80 cents for 11 hours , while it is i
notorious fact that in some sections o
Eastern Pennsylvania iron ere rainori
are pam 00 cents , The Poles are palt
thia for shoveling , out clay from thi
trenches. Whole gasga of them an
brought to America under contract
They sign papers , each understanding
they are to get CO cents. The contrac
tar pays the steerage faro and railroat
travel , and deducts it as they earn it
Frequently ho draws the wages , gota CJ
cents n head , and pays them the balance
deducting $3 per month on each mar
until the faros have all been paid. Alonf
the now Schuyldill Valley railroad , below
low Reading , hundreds of huts can bi
seen for miles , looking like so many In
diau villages. The men eat on the co
operative plan. Their living rarely costi
more than fifty cents a week. The ma
jority don't like America. A Polisl
saloon keeper says the great majority
have no business capacity , no educatiot
and are fit only for hard work. Thoi
como to A morica to work only a fov
ycara , until they can save enough tc
uiako them almost independent at homo
and then go back to Europe. An indus
trioua man can send homo a hundrcc
and eighty dollars yearly , and expects t (
have a thousand dollars in five years , anc
then go homo and live easy on his smal
fortune. They have to stand a gooc
deal of abuse , but they expect to rougl
it through.
Doctor Boyd ami Governor Miller.
Lincoln Democrat.
It makes quito a diiTerenso to the
democrats of Kebracka whether Doctoi
Boyd or Governor Miller , is to bo the
member for Nebraska on the national
dome atio committee. The Douglas
dologRon to the democratic etato coir
vention waa not for Governor Miller ; it
waa for Doctor Boyd , and wo are aur.
prised that the doctor boa leunt himaell
to thia little game of "now you see it ,
and then you don't. " Ono of the glorious
nine haa surrendered his "gloriouancna"
mighty early in tbo day. And thus it is
that the will of the Nebraska democracy
ia time nnd again sot at naught. It ia
not right. It is obtaining goods under
fulsn protonaea. and we are not anrpriaod
now at the opposition made to the ap
pointment of clio lion. Chas. II. Brown

Somu of our fiirmcra are very likely to
inako a mistake just now , in the manage
intuit of their pigs. They have an I tie
that becaauau nn old ling will thrive o
: lover a young pig will. This is abou
m Bonsiblo on idea as that of fattening a
lowly weaned calf by turning it to a
itraw stack , A ton of clover has 1,000
iiiuiids of water and only sixteen pounds
if fats ; and the Urger a pig's atomic !

loaur his hips shrink together , No
natter what the price of corn may bo , it
sill pay to ahull , aiuk and feed it to the

hem on gruun clover alone. If corn islet
lot available grind and soak rye and oata
r even soak them without grinding
