From Vienna we have the news
that in six villages Oh the Volga
river and island in the river an
epidemic is raging, generally con-
sidered to be the plague. The
Russian and German medical jour-
mails state that eastern Europe is in
a state of great alarm at the rapid
progress of the plague towards the
north and east of Russia from the
Caspian sea, along the course of the
Volga.

The Posts Berlin correspondent
says it is announced in diplomatic

''The taxpayers of Nebraska may as
well put it in their pipes now that as
long as the Capitol remains at Lincoln.
they will be compelled to pay neat little
sums for repairing and rebuilding those
rickety walls that are not ten years old
The better way would be to erect new
ones in another part of the state, where
a distribution of the peoples money
would do some good. The little state
of Lancaster county should not be sci.
fish about this matter.''-HO,cdrd Count,

THE CAPITOL.
What some or our Exchanges Say Of the Pro-
posed Appropriation.

Gentlemen legislators do not be in a
a hurry to vote money for new capitol
building if the old one will stand two
or three years longer. Times are hard"
-Burt0Ridn.
That is short, but just as excellent as
it is brief.
We do not doubt but the Capitol
building is inconveniently small, but
We do not favor, under existing circum-
stances, any appropriation for enlarge
ment. The permanence Of the present
location of the Capitol is still an open
question, and under the stress of the
present hard times, nothing of public
character which is not absolutely nec-
essary, should be undertaken which
would add to the peoples burdens. p
David City Republican.
Sound doctrine, again. There should
be no extensive expenditures at Lincoln
so long as the "permaDence of the pres
ent location of the Capitol is an open
question"
