The Chicago Tribune is not the
most reliable source Of information
concerning matters liable to be tor
turcd out Of truth for political ends.
The following, which we clip from
It's columns, seems exaggerated, but
we are not able to pronounce 1t incer-
rect In any particular:
The railroads OF Missouri are said
to be worth, with their rolling stock,
equipment, and all other property
except x-government lands, $24 23ls
$50. The State has given them $l6,-
7G2, ,9Oi bonds; counties, townships
and cities have added $2S,576, ,0O0.
So, the people of Missouri have built
the railroads and have then kindly
given the corporations t2l ,l08,6S4
more to pay them for the trouble of
ownership. This ID more absurd
than for England to give princely
revenues to people who "condescend
To be born"

Bills and resolutions. we almost

Bills and resolutions, we almost
may say by hundreds, have been In
troduced in the Legislature during
the week past. Work enough IL on
file for a six-months' session. The
new Code is being vigourously at
tackled, and is likely to be demol-
ished by repeal and amendment, be-
fore the Justice who has paid 50 for a
copy, has learned what Ii In the first
chapter. The cloth to be made into
laws, or lawsuits, seems to be inex-
haustable. There will be no lack OF
effort upon the part Of either party
to make the work of the session no
ceptable to the people, In quantity
at least, If we may judge by tho
efforts of members to do something.
We hope the results Of the session
may not be like those of shearing a
pig: great cry and little wool. or
the former we have had quite
enough already. We don't want
any of that peculiar sort of wool
which Legislatures have sometimes
pulled over the eyes OF the people; I;
neither do we want to see the State
heeced; but ut the close Of the ses-
sion we shall certainly have a right
to expect some marketable product
commensurate with the cost Of the
session.

A bill has been introduced in the
House, and referred to the Railroad
Committee, providing that all rail-
roads hereafter built within the State
shall be double track roads. That Is

out small monopolies, to give the

The Illinois pIow manufacturers
adhere tenaciously to their deter
mination not to give up their agency
system, notwithstanding the action
Of the Grangero Of that and other
States in resolving not TO purchase
their wares because they cannot buy
them ut wholesale rates except In
large quantities. They claim that
the agency system 10 a necessity OF
the trade, that 1t establishes the most
intimate and most advantageous
relations in every respect between
the farmers and the manufacturers,
and that II there have been evils
connected with II, they will correct
themselves. While the manufacture
ers are willing to sell large lots to
farmers at reduced rates, they abso-
lutely refuse to give up the agency
system which has so widely extend
ed and built up their business.

The New Point on the Missouri
From the Sioux City Journal

GFrom the Sioux City Journal
Something over a year ago par.
ties from this place went up the
Missouri River to a point opposite
the mouth of White River, and Sc
lected q site for a town. The spot
chosen had long been talked of by
steamboat mean and others who
have travelled upand down the river
as one of the best localities for a
prosperous town between Sioux CITY
and Fort Benton. Others from
counties east of here also went up.
and all were delighted with the To-
cality and its surroundings. Stems
have been taken to get a
large colony of Swedes and Nor
weigians from Chicago to emigrate
to this place and take homesteads.
A party of eight of their leaders
werft up there a couple of weeks
ago to look at the country and re-
port to their people. One of their
number returned last Thursday, and
proceeded right on to Chicago with
the intelligence that they were all
well satisfied with the country, and
were anxious to have all their peo- ,
pie follow them. Others have also
gone up their from PalO Alto and
Humboldt counties, and are break
ing prairies, etc. A steam saw mill
will go up in a few days. AS these
foreigners will purchase most of
their outfits here, this intelligence
Is OF interest to Sioux City. We
are promised a letter from Brule.

Peter and my Judas Iscariot,

THANKS to the energetic efforts

THANKS to the energetic efforts
Of Representative Crounse his
bill declaring Railroad lands subject
to local and State taxation from the
time they become entitled to them,
irrespective of the time their pa
tents are issued, has passed the low
er House of Congress. Should this
bill pass the Senate, and there is
every reason to believe it will, MI.
Crounse will be entitled to the last
ing gratitude of his constituency
The importance of this measure to
Central and Western Nebraska can
hardly be over-es{imated.
We shall cite a single practical
example to illustrate the effect OF
the present unjust and unequal dis
tribution of the burdens Of tax
alton. Some years ago General
Sherman made what he then con-
sidered a profitable investment in
lands i'm the Platte Valley.
The heaviest property owners in
the county where these lands were
located happen to be the Union
Pacific and the mountaineering
homesteaders. The refusal of the
Union Pacific to submit to local
taxation forced the entire burden
upon the few resident and non-resi-
dent land owners whose property
was taxable and the General found
his tax bills so enormous that he
became Disguised with Nebraska
land and therefore sold out without
realizing even a fair interest on his
investment.

BAXTER the seal-less Governor OF
Arkansas t~elegraphs to President
Grant that he has no power to re-
woke his proclamation converting

this body must decide for them
selves whether they desire to adj

Its evident that Baxter is not
posted. Has not the Supreme Court
of Nebraska established a precedent
which lays down the rule that Gov
ernors may revoke their proclama-
tons at pleasure as long as the Leg
islature has not convened? Baxter
is hardly to blame. however, since
the Nebraska Supreme Court reports
studiously avoid all mention about
this extraordinary decision.

Brazil, the heir must be born on

her taking so long and wearisome a

that all railroad corporations i'm the
State shall prescribe, subject TO the
approval of the Board of Railway
commissioners, a uniform and dis
tinguishing badges, to be worn by
all its employees whose duties relate
to the immediate transportation of
passengers or their baggage. A cor

uniform and badges shall forfeit 500

such neglect, and if any employe
for whom such uniform and badge
is prescribed shall neglect when on
duty wearing the same, the corpo-
ration employing him shall for each

EVER ready to give the devil his
due, the BEE cannot withhold prop
er credit from Councilman Stephen
son for his unfiinching labor i'm be-
half of solid and substantial building
I'm our principal thoroughfares. Mr..
Stephenson has become a perfect
terror to the violaters of the fire or
dinance.
In the enforcement of this whole
some law, he is neither a respector
OF persons, station, or wealth. His
zeal in this good cause may some
times lead him into excess, but We
must acknowledge that the fire or
dinance would to-day be a dead let
ter, had it not been for his t~ireless
vigilance.
We do not propose to discuss the
legal aspects of his last complaint
against Miller and Richardson, but
If their building is an infraction
upon the fire ordinance, we say en-
pharically let the law be enforced.
This may temporarily involve hard
ships upon the owners, but it will
erentuate in a more rigid observance
of the law.
III newspaper publishers were per-
mitted TO defy the ordinance with
impunity it would not be long be-
fore other influential corporations
or individuals would do likewise.
Eithershe law must be impartial
