IN all probability among the very llr.st bills ( o bo parsed by congress will be one to provide for the performance of duties as president In case of death , resignation or inability or both president and vice president , as well as to provide for the presidential election count. The necess- ty of Bitch a bill has been forcibly pre sented by recent events , and it is very likely that , the Hoar bill will bo passed , together with the Edmunds bill for the presidential count , which Senator Ed- immds propose , * to attach lo the Hoar bill as an amendment.

The mu.it clVcctivo incians for preventing burglaricH w lo have the 8treels lighted. Thcsuggc.stion to use gasoline or eoal oil for stieel lamps did not imply that the council should aban don the use of gas. It was .simply a sug gestion to illuminate the streeU which are J V-OIKI dm ia main limit , iyo or three hundred gasoline lamps judi ciously distributed on the streets that wo In total darkness would not only bo a grout convenience but a protection equal to twenty or thirty additional policemen. Such lamps are now in use in tlio faiiburbs of K UO of the loading cities , including oven I'hHmlelphia where the city manufac tures its own gas. Tin : lelephono wires have been ren dered almost useless at night in Omaha by the eloetr c liglit wires , The fact is that both ti.'lephonu and electrie light wires , as well as all oilier wires , should be put underground , In view of the fact , LOWO.VOC , that the telephone company ' IIIIH so many more wires than the electric light companies , and obstructs so many BtrocU with its iiiinioroui llnea U ahouhl be compelled at once to bury its wires. If thin were done tluirj would be no in- terfevonco ott the part of the ulectrlo light wires. It h true that the oxpotHo of burying the wires will be considerable , but tlm telephone oiuiuiv | : u.vn stand ll as It * prolits are simply enormous , They can much bettor aU'oril to go under ground than theelectr o light companies , ivliloh a''o struggling to make both ends meet. There is no longer any question as to ( he practicability of underground wires. They are being buried In the lurgo uiliee , and there is really no good reason why they should not bit hurled in Onmha , particularly tint telephone wires which are by far tlm moat numuruua. a recent decision of the United iStaUis supreme court the "throe days of grace , " usually allowed on commercial imper , hare boon reeogn/.ed ! us legal dMjK , nnd the principle has been estab lished that paper is not duo until Uiose days have passed.

The supreme court of I ho t'nltt-it Stales has recently rendered a decision nfllrm * ing the conMllutionallly of ( ho Missouri state law making railroad contpanios lia- bliIn double damages for the killing of stock whenever they fail or neglect to maintain proper fences , opening * , gates , farm cro-ningi and cattle-guards. The case in which this derision was rendered was in the natitro of an action agnin l Ihe Mi 50tiri 1'aciflc ( o rceover damages In double value for the killing of n mule , valued nt SHn , under the section of the Missouri statutes referred lo. The plain- till' obtained a judgment for $ U < 0 in the circuit court of St. I.wtk and that judg ment wai ntllrmcd by the court of tip- peals and by the supreme cmirt of the Mate. The railroad thereupon carried the cao lo lite supreme court of the United State ? on the ground that the statute in question violated the first sec tion of the fourteenth luneiidinonl of Iho consttlutlon of the United Stales , in thai it deprived the defendant of prop erly without due process of law , so far as it allow * a recovery of damage for stock killed or Injured in oxcc oMti vnluo , and also that it denied to the defendant the equal protection of Iho laws. Upon the question of exemplary dam- ngei llioaiiioiniHn cxce i of the actual value the supreme court , through Jus tice Kield , says that for injuries resulting from a neglect of duties , In the discharge of which Hie public are inlcl'ostod , jurie. * are aNo permitted to assess exemplary damngcN , which may perhaps be consid ered as falling tinder the head of casesof grois negligence , for anv neglect of du ties Impo-ed for the. protection of life or propel ty is culpable and deserves pun ishment. The omission to ercot and maintain such fences and eatlle-gitanh as arc prescribed by law is justly deemed gross negligence , and if , in such eases , where injuries to property are committed something bnyond compensatory dama ges may bo awarded to the owner by way of punishment for the company's negli gence , the legislature may llx the amount or prescribe the limit within which the jury may exercise their discretion. The court goes on to say : ' 'The mtililloirnl damngci belns by way of ptuiHinicnt , it Is clear that tlio amount may 1)0 thus fixed ; and it is uota valid objection Hint the stilTeter instead of the state iccolvcs them. That Is a matter on which the company - pany has nnlhlnt ; to say. Ami there can be no rational ground ? forcontomllin : that the Matato deprives it of property without due procesx of law. The statute only lixcs the amount of the penalty in damages pro- pciitiotinto to the Injury inlllclcd. In actions for tlio lujmy this company Is nlfordcd eveiy laelllty lor presenting Its defense. The l > nwerot tlio state to imposn lines and penal ties for a violation of Its statutory ruiiuiii- ! mcnlsls uoivid'\\ith K"vcrnment ; and theme mo < le In which tliey sliidl he nnfoiced whellieriit the suit ol a private party , or at the salt of the public , and what disposition slmll bo made or the amounts culleotcd , are ineicly matters of legislative discretion. The statutes of nearly every state of the union provide lor the Incieasoof damage * } where the Injury complained of tesults from the neslect ol ditties imposed for the hotter seem Ity of life anil pi opi-ity , and makes the ineiease In iiiiiny cases double , In some eases treble , ami oven ( liiadrtiplc the actual damages. And expe rience favors this luirisl.illoii ns the most elll- cient mode of preventing , with the least inconvenience - convenience , the commission of injiuies. The decisions of the highest coiuts liuve uf- lirmcd the validity oC such lu Ihlntlon. The injttrj'actually received is often so Miiall that In many eases no elToit would ho made by the sulferer loohlain rcdieis if the piivatu In- terust wcio net suppoitod by the iinp-xitloii ( .f imnltive damages. The objection lluit the stiituto of .Missouri violates the clause of the fourteenth amendment , which prohibits a sfcito to deny to any person \\ilhlii Us juris diction the enu.il protection of its laws , is as uutenabli ! as Hint wliicli we have considered. Thestatute makes no dlsTimiantloii n aiust any ralluntd compnny in its ic < juiiiiicnts. !

Thine Is no evasion of tht rule of equality wheie all comn.xules sire sub jected to the same duties mill the s.imc llubilt- tlex under Hlmllar t'iri'iimstanw's. " This ease is not only of Interest to the farmers of Missouri , but to those of many other states , which have a similar law and in which like eases have arisen. In fowa a ease in almo-tevory respect iden tical with that in Missouri is now before the supreme court of the United States. A farmer in Ilumboldl county obtained judgment against u railway company for $31 for the killing of three hogs. The railroad company carried the cat-o to the supreme court on const tutional grounds , arguing that as the slaughtered HWIIIU were worth only $15 , according to thu tc-timony of the owner , the amount awarded was doiiblles given under sec tion 1,980 of the Iowa code which permits a judgment for double the value Df the .stock killed , and which bootion , it was claimed by the railroad company , is re pugnant lo the fourteenth amend muni of the federal constitution , Thodcolsion in thu Missouri case virtually decides the Iowa ease and all similar mi ts , and ( his IM the reason no duubt that a motion was made by the railroad company , plainUV in error , ( o ilUnrss the appeal case from Iowa. The motion was denied , however , as a oeeis on is no doubt do ts.red to chtabliih once and forever the conittitut onality of the lowu law , although , in view of the decision in the Missouri oaao , IIcan no longer.bo ques tioned. . . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Unilroail Situation. Less than a month ago tlm capitalists and business men of Omaha worked themselves into a white heat over the pro posed railroad from Oiiiidm up the Klk- horn vullny. Thu threat of thu Chicago & Northwestern that it would carry Ne braska freights for nothing , seems to have produced Iho effect which the bull-do/.ing managers desired , The whole scheme hits gone by the board , so far as wo can observe , and Omaha la lo be left to the mercy of 0110 corporation which discrim inates against hop for the Mike of having tlm long haul. This Is the lur.sn statement of the facts. The question is \ \ hat do our capitalists propose to do about it ? An- othur and more Hurlon ? problem presents iUelfin the proposed extension of the Chicago & Hock Island into Nebraska by way of St. Joe and AtehNon. This \ \ ill doubtless effect Kansas City more than it will Omaha , but It U liable to turn a a great deal of our southern Nebraska trade into a nuw channel. Why cannot O.ualm oll'cr prowr | : iiu'.uctuucntr ' to Ihe Chicago Alioek Island lo miter Nebraska by way of O.ntilia , ami build its extensions from Ihi.s point ? \VliyVould not the pio- joct for an Klkliuru Valley line be made to malerhili/.ii thnni li a Chicago & Uouk L-ouuuctiwiT TUu Uuck , L luiul has nmplc tTionn ? ( o entry otil suoh a projcol , and being the only Chit-ago rood ( hat has no rainbow connections across the Mis- . ouri , north or south of Omnha , its maul- fc.-l intoresl would be lo nmko Omaha one of its great ( radio centers. Olio in ducement for the Hock Island to extend feeders into Nebraska by way of Omaha is the largo cattle carrying tratio which Is rapidly centering nt our stockyards , Would It not bo timely and profitable for the board of trade to take slops for a con ference with the Hock Island managers before the scheme for the St. Joe and Atchi'-on branches are matured ? Knilro.nl Discrimination. The ( irand Island Imtcfitnricnt calls the allenlionof Iho railroad conimiiiionors to a case of outrageous discrimination by the 15. is M. railroad. The finj > cnilcnl has donri its duty , but the commission never will. It is a waste of time to call Iho attention of the commission to any thing except a broken windmill , a dis jointed pump-handle , a worn-out plat form , an objectionable corn-crib , or lo seine case involving about , forly-llvo cents nn mnotint which railroad com panies wilt , under pressure and for thu sake of advorlising the wonderful power of their own Imautiful commission , ro tund in cases of overcharge. The cn o of disnrim'nation ' , which has justly aroused the indignation of the ( irand Island IndspeHtlcnt , is briefly this : \\holesnlo liquor nnd cigar hottso in that city received an order from a cus tomer at Kenesaw. Aware of the fact that Iho goods' could reach Ivenesaw the name day of shipment , and knowing of no private agreement between thu rail road companion , whereby a ship per was prohibited from selecting his own route , they shipped the goods over the Union Pacific. Shortly after they received word that Iho agent of the U. & M. nt Kearney refused to receive and forward the goods on ac count of nn agreement between the roads , whereby each road was bound not to receive goods fcom the other road for a point that could be reached by It ? own road. The 11. & M. claimed thai Keno- saw could bo reached from ( irand Island by the 1 ! . iV : M. alone , and heneo il was a violation of the compael between the roads for the U. 1 * . to receive the goods for Konesaw or any point , on the 15. vV : M. , e.xcopt Lincoln and Omaha , whore the U. 1' . could complete the ship ment , and on said account the B. & M. positively refused to carry tlio goods from Kearney to Kenoian * . The Uraml Island house referred the matter to headquarters , and receiving no immediate answer supposed the gooit.s had boon forwarded. Last Friday , how ever , twenty-one days after shipment , they received notice that the agent al Kearney still refused lo forward Iho goods , and if they wanted to get the ship ment through they mu t ship back to Grand Island , or ship via Lincoln on the Itnrlington & Missouri to Kenesaw. This would compel a shipment of 212 miles , whereas the distance via Kearney and Hastingon the Grand Island & St. Joe road , is only 45 miles. If there ever was : i case of outrageous discrimination this is certainly one , but the probability is that no relief whatever Will bo afforded by the railroad commissioners. The commissioners might condescend to make Collie gentle recommendation , but having no power to enforcu a single man dates the railroads would pay no attention whatever to it. The only relief that the ( Irand Island sh'ppors may possibly get w 11 be through the courts which , to say the leasl , is a very tedious , expensive and uncertain way. The ease cited is not by any means the only instance of tlio kind. That a public carrier can refuse to carry goods because the shipper dos not select the route arbitrarily dictale.d by railroad companies , by virtue of an agreement that will nol hold water because contrary in | > iiiiit ! : policy , in something that will not bo sustained by the courts or common .sense. The railroad commission is a fraud and a farce together with the law thai created il , but It is in exact accordance with Ihe ideas of the railroad cappers who secured its passage. That it will bo buried bu- 30111 ! resurrection by Iho next legislature wo have every reason to believe , judging from Ihe present temper of the people. The Hog Cholera. When the hog cholera struck thij state hist year its ravages were priiu-ipally confined to the tier of counties ordering on the Missouri mid north of the Platto. While ( he loss hist year was enormous , its ofl'ecl was felt comparatively by only a small section of the state. This year the epidemic has extended into nearly every county , and what is singular in the section ravaged last year those who were lucky enough to escape losses at that time re the heaviest sufferers now. In central Nebraska alonu the loss by hog cholera this year will reach fully * 3,030,0X ) . All the science that live stock breeding has called lo its aid has tailed utterly to cheek Iho terrible scourge. The cfl'eol UIKIII farmers ia very discouraging. With corn down to twelve to twenty cents a btushel , the farmer has been de prived through the ID.SS of luvjs of the most profitable way of disposing of this product. The small faVmer Is the one that MifliT.s inoht , because only men of large means are able to engage profitably in tlm feeding of cattle or in dairying. With a superabundance of food products our farmers are 'still hard up. The rail roads take about one-haU of their crops to carry the other half to market , and when they have marketed their products thu farmers realise but a mere pittance. AUvioo to I''arnurH. ! Fanners are too frequently made the victims of conthlence sharks who travel about tlm country and by false pretenses and eons ! lorable ulcight-oMiand work obtain then signatures to various docu ments which afterwards turn up in the shape of promisory notes , Thoau notes as a ruin have to be paid when held by third parties who Bel up the claim of the "innocent purchaser.1 These swind lers adopt all borUof plans and disguises. The lightning rod agent , the book canvasser - vassor and tlm patent right man , is gen erally to be regarded with suspicion by fanners , of whom they request eigiiiiturcn to alleged contracts orsub-icriptloii lists , Kvcn when asked to write his signature in u canvassing book thu furiner should act cautiously Ic.st he may be putting his name to the bottom of a prom isory note , ingeniously concealed lor Iho purpose of catching him. One of the latest confidence trained Is the gather ing of crop sliiiiolioH , accompanied with a request for tl.o autograph ui llufarmer. Still another isaircqnest for signatures to remonstrances against , burdensome taxes or som6 ftthJT grievance. The sharks who are cngngcd in this apparent ly laitdablo occupation are simply confidence - denco men whd deal In proml'ory noles obtained by this and other deceptive methods. A vcrj safe rule to follow is : Never s'gn your nailie to a paper in Iho hands of a stranger.

ThoAVtc AVtc Scnntof Malider.ion has just renewed In Ihe prcsenl congress the bill introduced by him in thu congress preceding Riving ( o the Infantry a thrcc-batlalllon orjranl * nlion. Hrlefly described , this plan allow. * each infantry regiment twclvo companies Inslcad of ton and three majors I nslead of one , nil appointments to the original va cancies thus created nbovo the grade of second llciitotmnlboln tilled by t-cnlority in tin- infantry arm. The principle involved in Ibis men Mice has received the support of Lieut. ( Jen. Sheridnn In his current report , and also in tils last year's report. It hnd been ad vocated by ri n. islierniiin while in com maud of the army. Secretary Lincoln nl o nrycd it upon Ihe favorable consider ation of congrc s. It is conceded that this theory is based oni sound principles. The cavalry and artillery regiments Imvo twelve com panies t'flch , nnd them IH no reason why the infautn should not conform to tluit system. Independently of a dcMrahlo niiifOrmlly the twelve-company formation lias intrinsic meritIn our country , with its great area and small army , il us necessary to maintain many post's wilh comparatively small garrisons , though hardly as many tire in fact kept up now The division of an infantry regiment into three battailous , each un der the command of its major will 1m touud convenient , since in time the vari- out garrisons might largely come to 1m multiples of ( Use Imitations , infnnli'v , cavalry , or artillery , as the ease might be. There are doubtless some lorls that havn not accommodation * for more than two companies or else do not remiirn more. Hut the tendency is toward aban doning such forts The adv anlago of the four-company battalion for tactical move ments in drill and in campaigning is ap parent. teTho special IntoreM fell by ( ho infan try olh'cers in this plan is due ( o the fact tlml il would give all of them below the rank of major immediate advancement , some by direct promotion and others by beinir moved forward many liles in theft' grades toward the head of the list for subsequent promotions. This fact en hances the value of the project , as stag nation may bo prevented while efllcicncy is increased. Some regiments won I'd in'olit more than others for the moment , out in general the new measure would promote at once , on an average for each regiment , two captains ; to bo ma jors , two lirst lieutenants to bn captains in the o vacancies and two more for the captaincies in the added compa nies , and tour second lieutenants to bo tirst lieutenants. Il would tardily place thu infantry in this mailer on a par with the other two arms. There are infantry captains who have been twenty years in their present grade , and have a prospect of waiting many years more bcforo limy can wear tlm coveted gold leaf. So it , is with many lieuti-nants who have not yet received their companies. Just now thenis si special argument in favor of the JMandurson bill. In spile of thu president's prudent ; course in re fusing to till any vacancies in the .second lieutenancies from civil life , next June's graduating class at West Point will over run these and all other vacancies likely then to exNl , and still Icavo a great many of the graduates without commissions Their education will have been completed sit the government's expense , and ihere will be no room for them unless the ox'- isting law against appointing addit oual lieulcnaut.s is repealed. The Mander , 'iii bill , however , would Iind placed for nil , under an improved and uniform organi sation. nnd still lenvo a chance for the promotion of meritorious non-eommiy sioned ollicors.

After Iho Monkeys. A naturalist in the Hast Indies hits many curious nnd amusing experiences , the habits of wild animals affording a never- failing fund of anecdote. The object of the writer was to obtain specimens of as many different kinds of monkeys , among oilier animals , ns he could. Among the animalia of the cast there is a kind of monkey called tlm lan ur , which is repre sented to be one of the shrewdest of the race. The langtir in wise in IIH genera tion , known a gun when he M-CS it , and the plei : ure of the langttr-chnse consists chiolh in the hunting , for the hunter sel dom mis the chnueo of killing one.
