spite at the newspaper men. There
has been a bill introduced doing away
with the custom Of printing the tax
list IN the counties. and providing only
for a short notice giving time and
place Of tax sale. Ii such bill should
pass. the newspaper men would be out
of a job of course, bat it would enable
the money sharks to congregate at the

at tax sale, aud the owner know moth
irg about it.-E1.

There seems to be a good prospect for
a Railroad through from Hastings to

aud when We raise our grain we will
have a close market, and our country
will grow more rich. We can grow
wheat oats rye and barley. and fatten

get a good price for them, and We can
raise our young stock and have the
pleasure Of seeing it grow into money.
A nicer stock range was never founi

In view Of the within statement of:he

WHEREAS, The newspapers, the
conventions, and the people of this
State, without regard to politics, have
expressed themselves as being unaui-
mOuSly 10 favor of legislation provid-
ing for a general pro rata between all
the connecting railroads of this State,

special and exclusive privileges to any
o OF more OF them; and
WHEREAS. A bill has been intro
duced In Congress, known as the
"Crounse pro rats Bill" which said
bill is special in its nature and does
not extend its benefits and advantages
to the several connecting railroads OF
this State; Therefore be 1t Resolued,
That We hereby respectfully request
our Representatives in Congress to op-
pose all legislation on this subject dis
eliminating in favor of any railroad in
the State of Nebraska and against any
other railroads connecting Herewith.
and that they favor and urge upon
Congress such legislation, within the
limits ofthis State, as will conform
substantially to the following
In as much as the construction of
the Union Pacific Railroad was a ma

carried to successful completion by
national aid. therefore all business or

Union Pacific railroad ought, in equity
and justice, to carry such business over

The balance OF trade is in favor OF
the United States. Now We have
reached the point where our exports
largly exceed our imports Of merchan.
disc, and where, ut the same time. our
imports Of specie exceed our exports.
This achievement is Of the utmost sig

in { he future" The above named
towns are alive to tEeir interests. and
vii! work hard to secure this road.
Would it not be vel, for the citizens
of Webster county to take steps in the

Grafton With other points-en this pro-

All are willing to admit that a railroad
to this point would be the making of
