THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD IN WINTER.
The last winter in the mountains was one of the
most terrible that has been known. 1t was not
confined to that locality alone, but il was of
great severity all over the country. Trains were
everywhere more or less delayed by the storms
and the drifting snow.
There were a good many reasons why the
winter could not be provided for besides that of
the intense severity. The RockysAlountains are
as yet comparatively little known. The laws
which govern storms and drifting SHOWS in the
east TO certain extent, do not apply to that
country. 1t is like all things else in this world
its lessons must be learned by experience
The same precautlon which would be amply
sufficient IN the east, would utterly fail there,
not so much in the amount Of work as in the
proper application OF the work to the different
parts OF the road. Those who manage this road
have had this experience, and they are prepared
to overcome obstacles now easily when at first
thought seemed insurmountabe. The Union
Pacific railroad company have been active, dill
gent, and successful in preparing for the win
ter. The preparations greatly excel those of
previous years, and should the winter prove as
the last, of which there is no probability, there
would be no more detention than in Iowa or
Illinois,
On the Laramie division, where the greatest
trouble was experienced last winter, the track
has been raised for one hundred miles through
the light cuts, and the tops have been leveed
vi ~ tuV ouVM eahHOt uuu resting place.
very large force Of men have been employed, be-
sides railway equipments, in doing the work, for
several months. The snow sheds have been
boarded and frightened so as to prevent the snow
from sitting through, and several miles of new
sheds have been built in such way as TO pre-.
vent their being crushed by the snow. More
than fifty miles Of snow sheds have been built
and placed in the best positions, governed by the
experience Of the past winter One difficulty to
be overcome last year was the want of fuel at
convenient points along the line. 70 obyate
this twelve new coal houses have been con.
structed aud coal enough stored for any emer-
gency. Hundreds of men have been employed
in this work. This coal is kept for emergencies,
and that for daily use is mostly taken direct
from the mines.
Two enormous snow ploughs have been con.
strucied, each weighing over forty ions, aud 50

1t came about, yesterday morning, that we
were made to say, there were "two topics in
the presidents message that would be discussed.
This is correct as far as it goes; but the word
1.-TWO" was an interloper. The message presents
more than two topics which will engage discus
sion; and there are one or two which will
doubtless incite some criticism. 1t is stated
already that certain members of congress are
much opposed to The civil service reform he
seeks to establish; and the action of the senate,
heretofore, has indicated a disposition in that
body to assume more control over the mat
ter of appointments 10 office than would
be possible under a well arranged, sys-
TEN of such reform as the president pro-
poses; more, in fact, than properly be-
longs to the senate 1t can be understood
easily that Mr. Cameron and the other Pennsyl-
vanians who sought to dictate the appointment
of a postmaster, at Philadelphia, have serious
doubts in regard to the practical operation of
civil service reform. They find it incouvenient,
and will doubtless oppose it; and they will have
the sympathy of certain western congressman
who are said to speak without admiration of the
civil service portion of the presidents message.
The president asks for legislation that will make
civil service reform obligatory on himself and
his successors. This will test the disposition OF
both house and senate in regard TO the matter.

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 4. 1879.


The republican municipal convention was
held, last evening, and its proceedings are fully
reported in another place. Mr.. Jison was
nominated for mayor aud accepted the nomina-
lion in brief speech Candidates for aldermen
were nominated for wards l, 5, 5, and I. The
result is substantially what was expected after
the caucuses were held. Mr.. Jilson is an earnest
republican; he is irreproachable in personal
character; and his observation and experience
as clerk of the police court, have made him well
acquainted with the working Of that depart
ment of the city government, aud given him a
knowledge of what is required TO make it
efficient. If he is elected, we shall see what
he eau do with other important city work
with which he is necessarily less acquainted,
aud, particularly with that part of it which
relates directly to the financial question. At the
present time this portion Of our city business
demands the most intelligent, skilul, and faith
full attention. Just now, our munic pal election
promises to be good deal ''miXed" and uncer-
tain good many republicans, in consequence
of dissatisfaction with the method used to carry
the caucuses, or for other reasons have gone over
to the Citizens movement" and added consid-
erably to its strength and hope of success. The
"citizens'" nominations for mayor and alder
men will be made this evening, and, next Mon
day, the voting will determine the result.

DELAHAY.

Things are looking very dark for
Judge Dclahay, the United States dis
trict judge for the state of Kansas.
We have long been acquainted with
the judge, and always have known him
as kind-hcarted man, possessing suf-
ficient legal ability to fill his place but
for the fact of his inOrdinatc use of in
toxicating liquors. AS drunkard he
has thousand times disgraced the po-
sition so generously given him by his
friend the great Lincoln. Three years
ago we were one of thirteen in the
state senate that saved him from the
effects Of a resolution asking his dis
grace. For the sake of his family and
upon his promises for better, his
friends stood by him. We see that the
house judiciary committee have been
holding session for the purpose of
sitting charges made against Delahay.
We do not think Judge Dclahay guilty
of any malfeasancc in office. but be-
cause of his habitual drunkenness he
should be promptly removed from the
high and important position which he
has so long and persistently disgraced.
It is due the state and no farther par
ey should be tolerated.

BRIDGE CELEBRATION.

Lcavenworth City has won the rep
utation for superb public entertain
ments. From the reports of the papers
we judge that in the matter of their
recent bridge celebration she surpassed
herself even in the magnificcnce of the
programme and the generosity of her
citizens. Nothing probably in the
west Of like character ever approached
this bridge celebration. People from
the remotcst bounds of this state and
Missouri were invited by the thou
sands, and they went, we guess. The
procession was miles in length, accom-
panied with flags, banners. NOTICES.
and four bands of music. All the
civic societies, and all officers of city.
county and state were in the imposing
column. Well may her people rejoice.
In the completion of this bridge Lcav-
rnworth has made grand step toward
becoming again the metropolis of the
Missouri valley. We regretted our in
ability to be present, but we now ex-
press our faith in her future prosperity.

REFORM.

We see that Hon. S. c. Pomcroy. L,

ed in the senate bill prohibiting the
receivers and registers ofthe land of.
hccs. government surveyor generals
and their wives and clerks. from loca-
ting or purchasing any tract of public
land. or to be Interested therein. or to
act as agents for the purchase or sale
of real estate, land warrants or land
scrip of any kind, or to act as agent for
the location of lands. In case of the
infraction of this act, immediate dis
missal is to be made. a provision is
made allowing these officers to prove
up and complete any claim acquired
before the date of their appointment.
This is a wise bill and should become
Il law. The want of such an act has
given rise to most of the corruption
and malfeasancc i'm these land offices

THOSE CLAIMS.

The counter case submitted by our
government at GENEVA. touching the
consequential damages in the Alabama
claims. has been submitted to Congress.
There is no doubt Of the fact that the
legislative department of our govern
ihcnf is getting to be about as radi-
caiiy decisive upon this question as
Grant himself. and it will sustain the
demand beyond doubt. What the
ultimate result will be no human wis
dom can forsce. One thing is evident
enough, at least. England's sncaking
neutrality may prove TO have been a
ruinous policy for her cxchcqucr,
