1T LEADS THEM ALL.

From the Far West as we'll as from the
East the testimony is the same. Under
date OF May 18th, the Herald, of Helena,
Montana, says: ....... ...... ...
1.-THE pioneer railroad from Chicago
to Omaha, and one Of the favorite routes,
is the Chicago and North Western. The
road has always been we'll patronized by
Montanians. and in turn the company
for number Of years has kept standing
advertisements in the Helena dailies, and
continuously in the Herald. To demon.
strate the enterprise and prosperity of
the Chicago and North w estern road. we
mention the fact that the company has
just had completed at their shops three
new trains, consisting OF six baggage,
three postal. six second-class and three
smoking cars. together with twelve
coaches and three new Pullman
Sleepers, for Omaha and California line.
These new trains will be completed from
engine to sleeping car, and will be called
the Silver Palace Trains. The iron work
on the platform ratings and on the in
terror will be heavily plated with silver,
there will be an unusual amount Of this
displayed from the exterior OF the cars.
These cars will be run on the daily ex-
press trains and will be the handsomest
ever run on any road in the West"
Yousalways want the best of every
thing that is to be had. In travelling. OF
course, you prefer to 20 by the quickest,
best, shortest and safest to the East. To
get these, combined in one line, you
must buy your tickets via the Chicago
| 81
Overland Route.
1t is the shortest, quickest and best
route from Omaha to Chicago, New
York, Boston. Philadelphia aud all points
East.
The track is OF the best steel rail. and
and all the equipments are first class.
THE FASTEST TINE ON RECORD!
This road has made the fastest time
with its trains for long continued run
that has ever been made in this country
On its Atlantic Express route, between
Omaha and Chicago, it has run 1873 miles
in l42 minutes, and SO smooth and good
ia the track, anu 30 comfortable are the
cars. that the passengers declare that,
had they not known otherwise. by any.
thing they could tell by the movement oil
the cars they should have thought they
were not travelling more than twenty
miles an hour, instead of
d.. NEARLY A MILE A MINUTE
This statement tells the whole story
and must convince the most skeptica
that this is the best road there is in the
West.
Two trains daily leave Omaha for Chi
cago by this ron'e, and so light are tn,
grades of this line, SO few the curves
and so good is the road bed and equip
ment, that, il necessary. forty miles al
hour could easily be made over the en-
tire road.
II you have never been over this road
you should certainly give it trial. or
you have not been over it for year o
two. you should now go that way an
. see for yourself how fine road can b
made by using steel rails and other mod
ern improvements.

Bills were introduced, and referred.
as follows:
BY Starkweather, To amend the law
relating to the postage on mailable
matter of the I'd class. 1t provides
that from January lst. 1876, the pos
tage on pamphlets, transient news
papers, periodicals, magazines, hand
bills, posters, unsealed circulars, pros
pectuses, and proof-sheets, shall he

tion thereof, and that the postage on
all other mailable matter remain as
now provided by law. He moved to
suspend the rules and pass the bill.
Randall suggested that the bill be
first considered by committee.
Stark weather remarked that the bill
only proposed to carry out the uni

postage on transient newspapers
placed where it was.

Reform.

In discazsihg the subject of reform in politics,
in the following brief article, We think the
H6fford Dsaoesqt tells US exactly whyres fhe
0ouble liess Itsays: s.
On all SIDES Ne hear the word Reforns. =
There is widespread feeling in all portions Of
The country that our enthusiastically, State
and municipaEare not rightly managed; that
corruption has invaded every part of the gov
ernmental machinery; is sapping the life of the
nation, retarding the prosperity of the people.
That this feeling is well founded cannot be de-
MED by any one who has kept pace with the
tive evidence spread before the people by the
press. But, among all those who take an in
tersst in public affairs, how few are there who
have stopped to reflect upon the causes which
have produced this ALMOST universal corruption
IN the management of our public affairs. Ask
the question in almost any intelligent company
and the chances are you will receive hnt one
answer, Oh we'are ruled by rings. Moth
ing can be done now excepting by rings or the
corrupting influence of the lobby This may
be entirely true, but it does not answer the
question. Rings and the lobby could do very
little if publc offers and Legislators were hon
est.
That the average public servant is not honest
is too true; that many are actually dishonest
is equally true.
We have drawn distinction here which we
think is very jast. The large majority of the
servants of the people, especially OF legisla-
tors, are not personally given TO bribe-taking
or other actually dishonest practices, but they
are not honest in SO much as they are too much
given to winkins at ii in others. They will
not sell themselves, but they will not expose
those who do; they will not steal, but they
turn their back while Others do in short they
are not honest.
Now we take it TO be true that in free coun-
try where the ballot is almost universal the
representatives of the people will fairly repre-
sent the moral tone of the people. The fact
therefore that there has been so great and wide
spread generalization in the conduct of public
affairs, only shows that there has been an
equally great and general depreciation of the
moral tone of the whole community, and if we
are to have any true and lasting reformation
in politics it must begin among the people
There must be a return to the old-fashioued
notions of honor and integrity among all class
Is
When we get to be gentlemen, merchants,
farmers, of the old school, with old-fa shioned
notions of honor integrity and just dealing,
with old-fashioned scorn aud disdain for all
that is low and mean in ones dealing. politics
will reform themselves and not ill then
