THE VOTE.
The People Mean Business.

On Saturday last Brownville pre-
rinct voted on the proposition author
ling the County Commissioners to
issue the bonds Of the precinct in the
sum of one hundred thousand dollars,
70 be subscribed as stock in the
"Brownville, Fort Kearney, and Pa
oihc Railroad Company" The vote
was in keeping with the enterprise,
public spirit, and l~iberality for which
this locality has ever been character
lied. The day was disagreeable, and
not over half the vote of the precinct
was polIed. The vote stood 364 for,
and only 4s against. This is decisive,
aud as it should be; M room for quib-
ling ; the people mean business! The
vote In the city was nearly unanimous.
We have no fault to find with those
who voted against the measure. 1t
was their right; and we believe the
most, II not all, who did so, were
governed by purely conscientious mo-
tives. We think, however, that they
fail to view the question in its proper
light; and are quite as sure that when
we secure the construction of the
road, and all see the practical advan-
tages that will Immediately grow out
of It, all, without exception, will en-
dOFse the enterprise.
On the 18th the city voters will be
called upon to vote sixty thousand
more to aid the same enterprise. The
vote will be favorable by an over
whelming majority. As we have
before said, our people are In favor of
Railroads and are ready and willing
TO be taxed, and aid in every way in
their power TO build them. But they
sOdnt the rOddg When the next vote
shall have been taken, and the result
favorable, the aid proposed by the
county, precinct and city, for the
s'Brownville, Fort Kearney and Pa
cifc Railroad Company, +" will amount
in the aggregate, to tDO hundred and
seveny-eight thousand dollars. This
sum, Improperly expended, will grade,
tie, and prepare for the iron, between
fifty and sixty miles of road. The
County Commissioners and City
Council will have the controlling
power in organizing this company /;
and on them in a great measures de-
wolves the responsibility, and depends
thu harmonious and successful man
agement of the enterprise. Let them
select men to manage the affairs,
known and noted for competency and
practicability.
OF details, we shall have more to say
I'm due time. In the mean time, let
all vote for the Railroad, on the 29th.

The contest upon the Senatorial
question in Iowa has been extremely
lively and interesting, but is now set
tied by the selection of Judge Wright
for the long term and S. B. Howell,
editor of the KeOkuk Gate City, for
the short term, by the Radical caucus.
Judge Wright has had no Congress
iOnal experience, but has been on the
Supreme Bench of the State for many
years. In that position he has shown
himself able and upright, and as
a jurist, he has no superior in that
State. With this ability he combines
the elements of popularity to a pre-
eminent degree, and it is probably
owing chiefly to this popularity that
he is enabled to go into the Senate over
so strong a competitor as Representa-
tive Allison.
J. B. Howell, who is chosen for the
short term, is about fifty-five years of
age. He is one of the veteran editors
of the State, and is said to be an able
and true man. He is in all things a
moderate man, though he has never
finched from Radicalism.
Both Senators, we have reason to
believe, will reflect honor upon the
State that sends them into the Ma
tional COuncils.-St. Joseph Daily
Union.

The Plattsmouth Daily Herald says,
before they enjoyed Railroad facilities,
Coal cost them $24 per ton. Now they
get it for $3.50 per ton. That's what
a Railroad does for a Nebraska town.
The Herald might have added, too,
that the population of Plattsmouth
has nearly, or quite doubled since they
have a Railroad, and that real estate
has more than doubled in value
which is the fact.

FRANCS CHROMOS,

Our Introduction into this country of the art of
reproducing frst-class paintings by the process of
ChromO-Lithography has been most generously re-
warded by the public, so that we have been able
within n few years 10 erect the largest Chrome Pnb-
fishing House On either continent,
Our success has led to the development Ofan art
industry all around us, which we hope will exert a
benefcient influence on the social Us we'll as the
material welfare OfOur people, commensurate with
its growing proportions. We remark with pain,
however, that not every picture issued under the
tempting title of "ChrOmO," is worthy of that name
which we have earnestly and cOnscientiOuSly tried
70 make honOrable; and we would request our
friends to remember that all ChrOmOs issued by us,
may easily be recognized by their close reproduc-
ton ofall the qualifications of a finished oil paint
lng-Its depth OF tone, richness and transparency of
color, and delicate gradatiOnS OfOne tint into anOth-
er. Besides this, every copy which leaves our es-
adjustment has on its back our trademark and

terly copies of mastery works of art, and in select
Ing originals for reproduction, we shall always give
the preference to the creations of American Artists,
