Omaha Becoming immortal.

10 one county, Harlan county, Neb., 5000
people are on the point OF starvation, unless
prompt relief be given, and many other coun-
ties in urgent need of help.
Gorritt Smith and other eastern philan-
thropists have contributed literally toward re-
lief The railroads have volunteered to
carry contributions gratis, and the aid So.
ciety' (?) of Omaha stands between the
generous contributors of help aud those who
ought to benefit thereby. This "Aid So.
ciety" is worse agent than any the grange
had to combat, and that is saying great
deal. The entorprising Omaha proposes to
make profit out Of misfortune, and has
projected Joint Stock Company with CAPT.
tai OF $500,000 to arrange for the distribu.
ton Of relief sent from the cast and 10 take
written security on the future crop, not yet
planted, from the wretched settlers.
All we "Credit Mobiler" frauds-"Tam-
many Rings"-"Salary Grabs" aud other
corruptions-hide your heads, for Omaha
eclipses you all. l have heard OF Italian
brigAnds who, after robbing the traveller
would restore part (for there is honor ev-
Gu among thieves)-l have been told by sol.
der boys IN the late war, that they bought
from the commissariat, out of their SIC per
month, pickles aud preserves, put up by
their own mothers and marked with their
own nsme-l have heard of many other dis
graceful doings, but Omaha beats them all.
Ii ever is offered at state or national fairs a
prize for rascality, Omaha will surely win.
No human ingenuity could devise anything
to beat her latest performance. On the
long aud weary through trips west, the pru-
dent traveller will in future button up his
pocket and be vigilant as he approaches the
enterprising and immortal Omaha.-Cor

In the resolutions reported by the COM
mittoc on Manufactures Of the Vermont
Legislature, denouncing the proposed ro.
cprocity treaty with Canada on the ground
that the Canadians have the advantage of
cheaper labor, cheaper machinery and cheaper
materials in manufactures, and that free trade,
so far as proposed in the reciprocity treaty,
would ruin the slate business, the tanning
interest and sheep husbandry of the state,
especially the growth of sheep for mutton
aud for combng woods, which has gained a
foothold in Vermont since tho repeal of the
last treaty, the EUeaing Post finds the stron-
gest evidence of the advantage Of free trade.
Here is Canada, it says, laboring under all
the disadvantages Of cold climate and scat
tered population, yet able, according to those
champions of protection" to hold an advan-
tage over the United States in the reciprocal
relations, solely because she enjoys the priv
ilege Of free trade with the rest OF the
world.

1t is hard work, suggests the Chicago
Tribune, to get ahead of determined
Western man on a matter in which princi-
pie and pennies are involved together es-
pecially difficult for the railroads to fight
the masses. The great bore nowadays is
legal fare. Passengers are in the habit Of
getting aboard trains and paying illegal
fare" To prevent this, the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy Railroad devised way
of forcing passengers to pay full fare. 1t
was to make them show tickets before get.
ting aboard. At Burlington the other day
passenger bought ticket and took his
seat. He then passed the ticket out the
window to a friend, who also took his seat,
repeating the operation until the car was
filled up, When the conductor came round
there was but one ticket, aud legal fares
enough to keep the Supreme Court in cOntin-
ual session for a century.

What's the matter with the Montpelier
Watchman, and State of Vermont Journal
Polands ? A few days since their organ
had a little item to the effect that Judge
Barrett of Woodstock was making interest
Tor the appointment as U. s. District Judge
in Vermont, while Judge Smaley is still
living, though quite i'll, and intimating that
Barretts action was indicate. Now the
fact is that while Judge Barrett is profess
sedly candidate for the appointment as
Smalley's successor, effort in his behalf was
only commenced few weeks ago, aud then
only because it appeared that both Judge
Poland and Judge Adds had been hard at
work for the place for some time before, and
that action, in the way Of getting an express
sion of Vermont lawyers in his favor, was
Immediately necessary unless he wished to
be completely forestalled. In answer to a
letter on the subject, in behalf of Barrett, a
member Of the Vermont Senate wrote as
follows, under date of Nov. 18th:
l started in tho matter Immediately, but
found that the ground had been canVassed
to great extent-some for Adds, but prin
ciPally for, and by, Poland. All of the
lawyers, aud a good share of the other Sena-
tors, had been interviewed by Poland.
Aud now we'd like to know what's the
matter with the Poland family. We see il
stated that Judge Smalley is improving, so
that his recovery is hoped for Woodstock
Post.

The Republican papers have since the
election furnished excellent reading. We
doubt ii so much sound and elevated politics
and pure morality was ever before found in
so small space. The food OF light that
seems to have been let in on them about
the president, about Casey, about Butler
about Dawes, and about "outrages," is some-
thing very remarkable. One thinks that the
friend and companion of Boss" Shepard
need not have been so careful Of his "digni-
ty" as to refuse to repudiate third.term as
piratons. Another admits that Casey might
very we'll have been dismissed when he used
the Uuited States revenue-cutter to hide
members of the state legislature from the
sergcant-at.arms. Another declares that he
now sees that it was great mistake to make
Mr.. Williams Attorney General and great
err still to nominate him for the greatest ju-
dicial Office in the world Another wishes
that the federal patronage of the great
state of Massachusetts had not been handed
over to Ben Butler. Aonther still wishes
somebody had not lied SO consumedly about
Southern "outrages." 1t "our foresight" as
Henry Ward Beecher says, "were only equal
to our hindsight," what wellmanaged world
it would be !-Er.
