Reaper Trial at Shelton
From tne cenlral Nybraska press.


There was lively trial Of self
binding harvesterS on the farm Of
Homer j Allen, near shelton, i'll this
county, last Saturday afternoon.
The contest was brought about by the
local agents at shelton, Ed. Oliver
repre- senting the Mccormick company
and j. y. Rice, agent for the Osborne
self-bindcr and the Edward Harvester
with the ST Paul binder attached
These three machines We're put into
the field. The grain was green rye,
standing 1T good height, and heavy
on the ground.
The weather was Very pleasant,
and there was general turnout Of
the farmers Ut the neighborhood.
There were also twelve or fifteen
men from kearney, including re-
porter for the Gazette. There were
altogether, about one hundred and
fifty men on the ground to witness
the trial. Unfortunately no terms
OF conditions hId been agreed upon
by the local agents having the mat
ter i'll caarge, and after the machines
had been taken to the field theae was
III unpleasant amount OF confusion
and laughing about the terms Of the
trial rhe friends OF the Me Cormick
were willing to submit the working of
their machine TO the decision Of I'LL
farmers present, but the champions
of the other two machines insisted
upon the appointment Of a committee
TO decide upon the merits of tire rival
larycsters. Finally 1t became evil
dent that the contestants could not
agree, and oaeh machine went III Ton
its own hook each man Judging for
himself. Tie Mccormick led or. the
distance being about 50 rods through
ia rye, The machine worked well
from the start. and after getting the
tension adjusted t moved along like

manipulation by its managers.

before, the work 81 this little team
was Il strong recommendation in ia
yor Of the Mccormick. Indecd with
out saying anything derogative t0 the
character Of its competitors Oh THAT
occasion,) the Mccormick WAS the
only machine that "held out faithful
to the end, and consequently carried
off the laurel' Of that trial.
After returning from the field. the
Mccormick agent sold the machine
which had been used in tho trial, and
could have filled four or five more
orders if he had had the machines to
sell.
From what we saw last Saturday,
we are convinced that the self-bnder
is grand success, and it will soon do

can be used.

WASHINGTON, Dec. n.-SENATE
-Thurmen submitted an amend.
mept to Blaine's resolution in
structing the com mittee to inquire
if any citizen of any State had been
dismissed or threatened with dis
missal from employment by reason
of his vote or intention to vote at
the late election, or had been other
wise il terfered with, and whether,
in 1873, Federal employe, had been
assessed for election purposes and
the circumstances attending such
assessment and its use, and whether
the law was thereby violated.
Also, to inquire into the conduct of
the United States Election SUPER
visor, the number OF marshals and
others employed to conduct the
election, with the salary paid them
or promised, and under what law.
Thurman said his side would have
waived all argument had this
amendment been incorporat.
ed in the original resolution,
but Blaine had refused TO give way
for 1t. He wished to. day to make
only few genera! observations.
The Senator from Maine had
frankly admitted that his purpose
was to assail the Democracy OF the
South. There were some doubts as to
the propriety of this investigation.
The session Is short and important
legislation presses.

We are indebted to Hon. B. d.
Woolf for a pamphlet copy of his
report to the Judiciary Committee
Of the Constitutional Convention.
It 10 interesting to an Angelef1o on
one account, as exhibiting the de-
velopment Of litigation hereabouts
The report shows that, in the four
years from January 1st, 1850. to
January 1st, 1854, there were six.
teen cases ON the docket Of the Su-
preme Court from Los An
geles county, aud one hundred and
forty from Sacramento. In the
four years from January l, 1874, to
January /, 1875. there we're one
hundred and fifty cases from Los
Angeles county to one hundred
and forty seven from Sacramento.
The discrepancy would be much
greater il the comparison were
made now. While litigation dur
ing the past eighteen years has
grown only five per cent. in Sacra.
msnto it has grown almost thou
sand per cent. IN Los Angeles
county. San Bsrnardino and San
Diego counties show advances al
most as great.

A GRAPHIC letter from China
which appeared in Sundays Chron-
icle Is calculated to alarm those
who view with distrust the hordes
OF Cinnamon who have already
planted themselves on the Pacific
Coast. From this writer we learn
that our present immigration is
from merely fractional portion of
the Chinese Empire, and that the
whole lump is being leavened with
the idea that America ia an excel
lent place to migrate to. In China
the laborer, according to his grade,
receives from one to three dollars
month and finds himself. The
prospect Of reaching a country in
which he can make from ten 10
twenty dollars month, and more,
and be "found," acts upon his
Imagination as a magnet and will
soon result In flooding the United
States with Mongolians If the
tendency is not checked.

The complexion of the weather
will determine whether those of
our farmers who have stored bar
ley will make or lose by the opera
tion. Thus far the barley in our
several warehouses would sell for a
good deal less than six weeks ago.
Should we have copious rains and q
certainty Of wet winter the price
Of barley would depreciate still
more. 1t ls striking circumstance
that the only time our farmers, as
