to solve the question of breaking up

consists in encouraging colored

The Cattle Disease.

Nj. K. TURNER, ESQ, Dear Sir: |
send you recent copy of Semi
Weekly Tribune containing article
by Prof. Law OH the much discussed
cattle disease. Would like to see it
in the JOURNAL if you think it worth
while. Not SO much because of any
thing new in it, as because, on such
matters, Prof. l.. is acknowledged
the best authority in this country,
and perhaps it is as satisfactory as
the matter can be made until a
thorough scientific examination is
made by experienced veterinary
surgeons on the ground. The Prai-
rie Farmer of Chicago advises that
farmers here club together and raise
means for such examination. This
does not seem to me practicable !;
at least | have no idea il will be
done. but as the trouble is general
over the State, [ do think the mat
ter of sufficient importance for our
State legislature to look after. The
expense of having a thorough ex-
animation by one or more reliable
experts would be comparatively
small, and might save many thous-
ands of dollars to the State. | no.
ticc our Senator is chairman of the
live stock interests of the State and
hope he may be induced to give this
matter the attention its importance
deserves. Respectfully,
j. III. REED.
We reserve the article for publi-
cation next week, as we have not
space, this. Mr.. Reeds suggestions
are good, and should be acted upon
by our lawmakers. Nebraska alone
has lost tens of thousands of dollars
by this disease, and although its
ravages have abated for the present,
a thorough knowledge of the sub
ject may prevent many losses in the
future. knowledge is not only
power, but money and security, as
Well.-[ED.

AFTER midnight Monday morn
ing the Occidental Hotel, a large
frame building at Omaha, was dis
covered on fire in the rear part of
the second and third stories. The
fire got such a start, and made such
rapid progress that the department
with its many mishaps failed TO
check it, and the building burned
down, together with two other
adjoining frame buildings. 1t is
stated in the Bee that the hotel was
no doubt set on fire. There was no
insurance except $1,000 on the
furniture.

DR.. MILLER is shifting the ru-
mors filling the air to the effect that
there is something wrong with the
official acts of his ancient friend,

there is a large African in our fnan-

that he will be speedilysmoked out.

The part of wisdom would dictate
to the taxpayers of Nebraska that
as few 100000 as possible be spent
in patching up an old capitol build
ing far away from the center, and
at one side of the State, especially
when there is plain provision in
corporated into our new constitu-
tion for the removal or relocating
the seat of government for the State
of Nebraska. That provision reads
as follows: "The seat Of govern
ment of the state shall not be re-
moved or relocated without the
assent of majority of the electors
of the state, voting thereupon at a
general election or elections, under
such rules and regulations as to the
number of elections and manner of
voting, and the places TO be voted
for, as may be prescribed by law
Provided, The question of removal
may be submitted at such other
general elections as may be pro-
vided by law" According TO this
provision of our fundamental law
it would appear great folly indeed
on the part of our legislators to
expend hundreds of thousands of
dollars of the taxpayers money of
the State 10 bolster up old tumble
down capital buildings at Lincoln
or even to build new ones there
which at best will have to be aban-
doned in few years. Build the
new capitol at the new capital.
Don't make double expense. The
bill recently introduced in the
House by Mr.. Sessions for the lew
and collection OF 100000 for erect
ing an addition to the present build
ing at Lincoln should be so amended
as to incorporate into its provisions
the proposition of the removal TO be
submitted 10 vote of the people as
contemplated by the constitutional
provision. No one could reasona-
bly, expect that this amendment
would come from Mr.. Sessions, but
we hope some other mem Der in the !
interests of the taxpayers OF the |
State will have the independence to |
take the proper action to bring this |
question before the people of the
State, in a just form, and save the
expenditure of hundred thousand |
dollars on merely temporary seat
of government. J

The BeSinn ming of the End.

During the nine years of its life
the JOURNAL has been crying out
against the remaining 'twin relic OF
barbarism" in Utah, and is glad to
note that that foul nest is about to
be renovated, the highest judicial
tribunal of the government having
decided that the law of Congress of
1862 is constitutional. Reynolds,
the young benedict with two fond
wives, who lent himself as a test of
the law, believing that the Supreme
Court of the United States would
declare on his side of the case, and
take the odium of disloyalty from
the heads of polygamous Mormon
dom, finds himself a subject for fine
and Imprisonment. Petitions are
going up to the President for execu-
tive clemency, seeing that Reynolds
is but scapegoat bearing the sins of
the multitude.
There is just enough uncertainty
in what may be done to make the
subject extremely interesting to
those Mormon gentlemen who have
been all along setting the law at de-
fiance, and teaching others to do
likewise. And those individuals, in
this and in forei gn lands. who have
been longing for the time when they
could live in Utah, unmOlested in
their polygamous practices, will now
look around fer some other avenue
of escape from marital tyranny"
The practical questions raised by
the decision of the Court will receive
the best attention of our statesmen,
and it is to be hoped that the utmost
goodwill compatible with the pub
lie good, will prevail in counsel and
dictate the policy to be pursued.
If all offenders were punished,
there would not be prisons enough
to hold them, and besides, the suf-
ering thereby entailed upon inno-
cent children would be so extremely
cruel, that this method can not be
entertained. To visit with the full
penalty of the law the "leaders" who
have all along been the organizers
of lawlessness, the mainsprings of
the murders of "emigrants," and the
blatant demagogues who have
through many years dcfied the gov
ernment, would be just, but the
nation which neglected to hang
JEFF. Davis, and which is trying hard
to forget the four years war that
cost her so much treasure, so many
precious lives, and very nearly her
own existence, will perhaps hesitate
TO strike the heads of The prophets
and apostles of Polygamy, who may
be regarded, if not hypocritical, as
nothing worse than self-deluded, re-
ligious enthusiasts, with Turkish
households. 1t will not do for the
government to shut its eyes, as here
tofore. Polygamy must cease, but
some sort of humane provision
ought to be made for its victims.

Making a total distance of 9l1a
miles, and giving Seward county 2S
miles Of road.
From Crete the line surveyed runs
along the east side of the Blue river
and crosses to the west side a short
distance below Camden, runs up the
west side to point within two
miles of Milford, and crosses to the
east side; two miles above Milford
it crosses to the west side again and
then runs on that side to Seward
and from here to Ulysses. From
Ulysses the North Fork of the river
is taken to the divide, from there on
the table land to David City, from
| there to Deer Greek and down this
valley to the Platte river bottom :;
crosses the Platte river above the
junction of the Loup, and thence
along the Platte valley to Columbus
A fair grade is found all the way,
with the exception of getting down
from the table land to the Platte
valley, and that may yet be bettered
by surveying in different direction.
1t took the party fourteen days to
survey the distance from Firth TO
Columbus. We are promised the
different elevations as soon as the
engineer complies his notes.
Mr.. Giddings informed us that
all along the line the people were
very enthusiastic to have the road
built.

roads leading to all the Kansas coal
