Tin : discussion over street lighting as
reported in the council proceedings fehows
a lack of business sense on the part of
some eouucihnen. 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

An Important Icol lon fbr KnrmorH.
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. !
Kach compaiiv Is subject to the s.ime. liability ,
nud Irom each the saurj teeurity , by the
erection ' & r" ! ! < -es , { jf'ites ami cat tie-guards , U
exfteled , wiion Its roml paa w tlnongii , alonic

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.

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.
Modifications maybe desirable in the
Mandorson b.ll. His also pos'siblo to put

Among Iho passengers on Ihn morning
train from Hosion , says a Fall Uivcr dis
patch of Iho llth , wits n well dressed
molherly looking woman of tniddlo ngc ,
who calno to thi.s oily in search of her 10-
year-old daughter , who had Icfl her home
m lloston last Saturday. The girl had
been traced to this city l j detectives ,
when ) she arrived on Iho Moamboal train
nccomiiaiiicd li\ , a joung man , and was
located in a liotiso of questionable resort.
On reeelA Ing word of tlio wheroabonts of
her daughter the mother at once came on.
Wishing to noid publicity the local po
llen were notified and the mother re
mained nt a hotel until evening , when ac
companied by Iho deteetivo. silo visited
the hoitsi ) where her daughter was Mop
ping. Knlranee was gained without dim-
culty , and ( hey wcro al once u-diercd into
llm parlor whom with other Inmates of

her betrayer. The mother , after ono
glniice at the pair , gave a picrclnc.tliri.uk ,
and , wilh the words , "llrothcr aiid Mstor"
on her lips , fell in swoon. The daughter
ru.'hod to her mother and endeavored to

tiller a lima she came to herself , she ( old

Twenty years ago , il appears , ( ho

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.
" \Vlule \ out hhuting thntdny we had a
line illustration of how llm protective in
stinct varies in animals neeonliiig to sur !
rounding circumstances. Wn surprised
n couple of gray Inngurs feeding in a f
small grovrt of low trees in the midst of a
vci'i thin and very low lorc-a , which was
overgrown with tall gr.us When the
mondcys saw IN the\ tried to hide in the
live lops , but , finding it impossible to es
cape in that way , ( hey inn. We chased
them through the grove without gelling a
shot , bul at last , when we reached the tur-
ther side , wo felt that wo were sure of
I hem. Who over heard of a mondoy com
ing down from his native tree lop lo isi-
cape a hunter ? When the iiHinkcys saw i
thai tlui frees no longer a Herded them
shelter and concealment , they leaped
lo the ground and started oil'nt a
tearing gallop through the tall grass. Wo
ran niter them as hard ns wo could go.bnt
so long an the inonkc\s remained upon the

dead , " Maid the troight brakcmnn. "I saw
It ll.v once and at that tune I wish I
hadn't. It was when I was n brnkomaii On
the Central. One day we were shift.rig
ears at n little .station near Syracuse , when
a .special car , with locomotive attached ,
came in and stood on tlm main track near
whom wo wcro at work. Special oars
were not very uncommon , and wudid'nt
pay much attention to this one. I'retty

fernal link wouldn't , lil. I tried it two or
Ihroo tmuw , and Iho engineer got out of
patience backing up lor nui so maiiy
times , and I begun to get nind myself.
Then 1 gave il nniither trial , but stilt it
wonlilnt work , mid limn I took Hint link
and gave il a sling into the creek , and
swore in the bargain. Ill about ten f > co-
ends 1 hcnrd some one calling me , and ,
looking up , caw a plug-halted , Hido-whis-
kcred man standing on the platform of
the special oar I knew him as sunn iw I
laid eyes on him it was Hilly Vander-

been watching you. Doou know whoso
property you Imvo been throwing into tlio
crook ? '

went into bin imr and shut the dour.
