Coy. David Butler of Nebraska has
been deposed by impeachment "Thus
the good work of furnishing mtaithful
Governors goes ON. 1t is but short
time since Gov. Holden Of North Caro-
lima was removed from his Office for
fragrant official misconduct and now
in the Northwest the Senate Of Neblas
ka, acting as a court Of impeachment,
have returned Il verdict Of guilty in the
case of David Butler, the Governor Of
that State, and he likewise is no longer
Governor.
Gov. Butler was accused Of misappro-
priatlng the public funds, Of corrupt
dealings in relation to school money,
the public lands, expenditures for pub
lie buildings, and in fact, of engaging
with some of his cronies in a general
and comprehensive system Of plumber.
The full details of the trial have not
reached us yet; but the Nebraska pa
pers have not heSitated to charge the
late Governor with completely in frauds
of the most scandalous nature. 1t has
even been intimatcd that the Lunatic
Asylum, which was burned down last
winter, causing the loss of number of
lives, was purposcl y set on fire in order
to conceal the frauds that had been per
pctrated in its construction.
The Legislature Of Nebraska, though
strongly republican in both branches,
impcached Butler during its last session
but his trial was postponed. The pres
ent session began on May 80, and on
the 3lst the trial opened. On the fol
lowing day the Senate came to vote
ON the first article. Nine members vot-
cd for his conviction and only three for
acquttaI. This makes Buffers deposi-
ton from Office certain
Mr.. Gillespie, the Auditor Of Nebras-
ka, has also been impeached, and his
trial was to begin on Thursday, the 1st
instant.
Do any Of our readers ever remember
before Of so many Governmental officers
being impeached and deposed from Of
flee for malfeasance ? Many more OF
these corrupt officers deserve tho same
Just fate. If this is the condition OF
"those in authority who are inferior in
rank, what must be the condition of our
higher officers.
If we don't have change soon in our
National Government where shall we
land? We trust the people are duly
considering these transactions and will
in due time make the proper and neces'
sary reforms.

Having become satisfied after thorough in
vestigation that Elastic Sponge Az now & lately
manufactured is one Of the best OF all the
substitutes for curled hair, for many If not most
ue0s IN uphostery,we have accepted the Agency
of it, and intendlt ITO make it hereafter special
ity in our business. The objections which have
been made to it and which it is well known we
ourselves have thought were well founded.
we have aSceltainCd cannot be urged against
the article now perfected. The process Of
manufacture has been entirely remodelcd
under the advice ard superintendent Of one
OF the most eminent chemists OF New Eng
land. New chemical and mechanical appi-
ancie. have been introduced in cleansing
crude Sponge, and charging it with glycerine
with such entire success, that Elastic Sponge
may now be sand 10 be chemically pure
There is absolutely nothing in it but the clear
fibre OF Sponge and chemically pure glyccrino
The objections to Elastic Sponge being thus
removed thee remain ITS undlsputed merits
which certainly entities it to be considered
one Of the most valuable us it is one Of the
curious and interesting Of late discoveries -
Chief among hcsc merits is, that it is proof
against moths the great .courgc Of the bust
ness and against all other insects. Then
its elasticity is permanent, has cd as It is up
ON the non.eyaporable ! ropery OF glycerine
and the indcstruc'ibility ofspCngc fibre. We
have always been satisfied upon these Two
points which are the essential requisites in
such materials. The evidence is now equally
clear that it is wholesome and sweet. 1t is
certainly light and soft easy, 10 manipulate.
and cheap enough for all except the lowest

A FACT FOR IRIsInlEN.-A New York
paper says: "The heroes of the Irish
Brigade can never forget that General
Grant has sent Brigham Young's son to
West Point, and not the son of Thorn
as Francis NIeagher Major James
Haggerty, Michael Seaman, Gen. Mil
len, and other Irish supporters of the
President in this city, must feel pecu-
liarly grateful to Gen. Grant for dis
carding the son of an immortal Irish

United States Government, and who is
now living in open violation Of the laws

Northern PACIFIC RAILROAD.

RAPID PROGRESS OF THE WORK.
The building of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
(begln July last), is being pushed forward with
great energy from both cXtremltles OF the me
Several thousand men are employed in Min
ncsota and on the Pacific coast. The grade il
nearly completed 26G miles westward from Lake
Superior trains are running over 100 miles of
finished road, and track-laying is rapidly
progressing toward the eastern border OF Da-
kota Including its purchase of the st. Paul "
Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Company
now has 413 miles of completed road, and by
September next this will be increased to at least
$50.
A Coop IyvEsrMENT.-Jay Cooke ~ Co. are
now selling, and unhestatingly recommend, as
Profitable and perfectly Safe investment, the
First Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. They
have 30 wears to run, bear Seven and Three

exempt from U. $. Tax; Principal and Interest
are PAYABLE in Gold Denominations Coupons,

LANDS FOR BoNDs.-Northern Pacific 1905
are at all times receivable at ten per- cent dJOce
pGr. in exchange for the COmpany5 Lands, at
their lowest cash price. This renders them
practically interest JcdrtrJ ia,.d rGITdntS.
SINKING FUND-The proceeds OF all sales of
Lands are required to be devoted to the re-
purchase and cancellation of the First Mortgage

New Hampshire.

The Democrats and Labor Reformcrs
in the New Hampshire Legislature have
fought the battle Of organization with
complete success and have elected James
A Weston Governor. This finishes the
splendid work 50 nearly accomplished
in March The petulant and even pas
sionatc conduct OF the Radicals during
the process OF organization showed the
eminent proprcty Of excluding them
from further control. Their pucrile
schemes for obslructing the work Of the
Legislature because they could not name
its officers, betrayed the intensity of
their party malignity and the depth of
their professions of respect for the as
certaiued viii Of the people. They may,
perhaps, now feel inclined to study the
two pIanks of the future political plat
form, civil service reform and minority
representation. This struggle exhausts
them. The ring is in fragments. Rol-
Inns and Chandler and Ordwuy and
Patterson, who have supposed they car
ricd the state in their pockets, are all
adriit with the outgoing tide, and the
sympathetic calls of their friends from
the shore that the return tide Of next
year will bring them back only darkens
and righteousness of their expression
The fortunes Of New Hampshire Radi'
calism drift ont to sea on the same d.
lapdated raft that carries the disheart
ened and downcast patty managers.
All the party journals are hurrying
to the rescue, offering sympathy and ad
vice where neither is of ANY further
value. One says, like the New York
Times, that the Radical defeat is but Il
!; flea bite, as its effects can last onIy Il
year. Another, like the Tribune, de
clarcs outright that it is glad Of the
event, for it will bring ont bcaumbec
Radical voters in the Spring. All as
sumo II gayety wholly unwarranted by
any of the passing incidents or the act
uaI result They know it is serious
piece Of business for them, so serious
as to make forced laughter the only re
lief from its contemplation. That IL
addition to three Democratic Congress
mon the State should revolutionize it
political organization, is all the worse
in itself because of its undeuiablc pre-
monitious of the future. 1t is the pro
phetic expression Of this result in New
Hampshire that attracts the attention o
the rest of the country. Not State il
the Union that does not to-day feel The
=, direct influence Of the recent proceed
ings in Concord The represSed hope
of reform everywhere start into llt'
