sHAKEY BRIDGE.
A lengthy communication was read from
Gen. Terry, addressed to Thomas Cochran,
calling attention to the bad condition of the
Fort Smelling bridge. Gen. Terry calls atten-
ton to the looseness of the diagonal rods in the
high trestle which sway and rattle whenever a
vehicle passes, and to the condition of the
rods which fasten the superstructure to the
abutments which are also loose, land the fear is
expressed that action should be at once taken
| to prevent irremediable Injury and damage.
In connection with the matter a communi-
| nication was read from ex-Clty Engineer
Sewall, addressed to Thomas Cochran, in
| which it is stated that the planking of the
| bridge had not been spiked as it should have
been. Mr.. Sewall recommended an examina-
| ton of the bridge, and named the foraman of

VENNoR has been roundly abused for

he predicted the snow storm for the goth

CHICAGO, Feb. N.--H. G. johnson, OF the
postoffice department, who has been at Lin
coin, Nebraska, directing the initial cases
against the star route men, is in the city on
his return to Washington, In an interview in
reference to these cases, Mr.. johnson said the
impression that these star reuters will escape
in its case, is entirely wrong. The first in
dictment was that accused had entered into a
conspiracy to defraud the government, and
second, that they had made false returns. The
trial was npon the first Indictment, and when
the government found that one of the con-
spirators, upon whom they relied to convict
others, had played them false, the prosecution
dismissed the suit upon the first Indictment,
leaving them free to prosecute the cases for
making false returns in the May term of court.

SSoslp C5ty's NeaU Line.

[Sioux City Journal, 20th.l
The railroad man who knew something
about the new Sioux City line of the Mil
waukee was found yesterday after several
months diligent search. He gave these in
teresting points: Gen. s. s. Merrill, mana
ger of the Milwaukee, informed a rail-
roader that the proposed line considered
most important to the Milwaukee was one
from Cedar Rapids, ninety miles southwest
to Ottumwa, and second in Importance was
considered the Sioux City line, and that would
have preference next after the Ottumwa track.
Our railroader said further that when abridge
contractor talked to Gen. Merrill about NOV
ing his pile drivers, now near. Defiance, to a
lob on some other road, Mr.. Merrill said that
he thought the pile drivers might as we'll stay
where they are, as they were likely to be need
ed on the Sioux City line.
This information about the intention of
the Milwaukee to build the Sioux City line
affirmed by move made at Onawa to sur
yey line from that town east and connect
with the survey made from Defiance to
Sioux City by the Milwaukee. 1t is Mitchell
Vincent who is to survey this Onawa line,
and Mr.. Vincent has inside means OF know
ing about the building of the Sioux City
line, and would not make a survey from
Onawa to connect with the Sioux City sur
vey unless he was assured that the latter
would be built Judge Oliver, of Onawa, who
brings this information about the survey to
be made from Onawa east, says that 1t is an
Onawa enterprise to demonstrate how cheaply
the ten miles OF road can be built to the COM
ing Sioux City line, and thatif the Milwaukee
company will entertain proposition from
Onawa aid will be voted the enterprise. Such
q line as OnaRa has in View could be cheaply
built, as it would require but light grading
and but one bridge Of any considerable ex

so drunk that he could not defend himself and
was perfectly safe object of attack. Nc
Namara's excuse for the assault was that the
man had run away with his sleigh. but it was
evident that in his condition he couldn't run
away with anything. The crowd that gathered
around the PROSTATE man were loud in their
denunciations of the brutal act.

APPROACHING PERIL.

Judge James W. Green, an. eminent
iurist of Virginia, gives utterance to the
following:
''All men of reflection are impressed with
belief that the Republic is in peril. How to
meet the danger is the great question for the
consideration of this generation. He will de-
serve well of his country who solves this
problem, or even makes a suggestion, which
taken up by others, shall assist in its solu-
tion."
Judge Green is not alone in these ser
ious apprehensions. That the republic
may yot fall by its own weight, and the
States become discovered and beligerent
is no new idea, nor the coinage
of alarmists. Our vast expanse of terri
torial domain, erected and being erected
into states; our rapid growth in popula-
ton by immigration and natural increase,
our enlargement in every material in
terest, some of which interests are una
voidably sectional and conflicting, warn
of possible, and even probable, disturb
ance and disintegration.
The enormous power concentrated in
an executive robs the republic of its
democratic life, and clothes the govern
ment with all the essentials of monarchy
without its guarded constitutional checks
and barriers. The vast patronage CEN
tered in sole executive, is at once a
source of danger and corruption, as we
have reason to feel and know, in the
action of conspicuous administration
not very remote in our history.
Judge Green, like other close observers,
profound jurists, and unquestlonably
loyal patriots, is perplexed to find a
remedy for existing and dreaded evils.
He suggests plural instead of sole
executive. A Chief Executive Council
of foe, taken from different sections of
the country, is his suggestion.
In regard to this there is much that can
be said pro and con. And yet, the idea
of Plural Executive is not original with
Judge Green. Governor Edmund Ran
dolph, of Virginia, in the convention
which framed the constitution of the
United States, advocated plural Su-
preme Executive Council of three, in
stead of clothing one man with
more than regal power. Jefferson
was understood to favor this
idea of Plural Executive, which was
called "the Virginia plan.'
1t IS very evident that the immense
power and patronage placed in the hands
of the Executive through the vast system
of appointments to Office should be taken
away, and that right speedily. With
out this applied remedy the gov
eminent will be, indeed is already,
corrupted, and wrenched and drifted
from the true design of its founders, and

ADJUSTMENTS.
"O,aly a farmers Daughter,

OHtD u EU q btN0SCecE.
It was great compliment to the company
which appeared at the Opera house last night
that SO large an attendance was secured when
the weather and travelling were considered.
1t demonstrated that st. Paul is ready to give
new candidate for popular favor
a fair trial before passing judgment.
Neither the play nor the company have ever
before been presented to st. Paul audience.
The play was written by Elliott Barnes, who
takes prominent part in the cast, and is thus
outlined:
An old farmer has a beautiful daughter, who is
loved by an author who marres her and VOWS to pro-
tect and cherish her until death. Ten years after
ward the author has grown famous and rich. An ad-
venturess, IN the guise of the widow Of French
general invades the household and, with the aid of

band and wife, Stays the wife and child gets posses-
sion of the husband and his money is slain by the

shows that all the events after the entrance of the
adventures are the fgurents of dream. But the
dream cures the author.
tanned by Bertha Welby, and that of the
French adventures by Adelaide Cherie, who
was ably assisted by Jack Hartley, which
character was taken by Elliott Barnes. Miss
Cherie bore her part admirably. She was the
cool, cunning, calculating woman OF the
world. She set herself at work to break
up the home of the author, and win the
affections of the husband of the farmers
daughter, and carried cut her purpose with an
air that was true to life.
Miss Bertha Welby, as the gentle, loving
wife, elevated to a station above her early life,
was a success. Her womanly indig-
nation when her husbands sup
posed perfdy was exposed DO her
was wildly and naturally portrayed. Little
Mamie proved herself the prodigy which she
is claimed to be. Her part when she chooses
between her father and mother was especially
well done.
The charm of novel with successful vii
lain running. through it, is to have it lend
WE'LL" and the same rule applies to
play. By developing the fact in
the last act that all was a dream of the
husband e the Farmers Daughter" all is
lovely.
The support was fair but not remarka-
bic.
The company makes its last appearance to-
day, appearing at both matinee and evening
performance.

Miscellaneous.
GREAT BRITAIN,

LONDON, Feb. N.-The Pail Mall Gasstte
believes the Royal Geographical Society will
contributD 81 900 towards fund for the
relief of Leigh Smith and his relatives, who
are not likely to favor anything like public
subscription of $4,000, which, it seems, with
the governments $4,000, will suffice to equip
the expedition.
In the house of commons this afternoon
Sir Stafford Northcote announced he would
oppose the introduction of Gladstone's resolu-
ton, that inquiry into the working of the land
act would be Injurious to the interests Of good
government in Ireland.
Labouchere, liberal member from North
hampton, moved new writ be issued for an
election in Bradlaugh's consistency, as the lat
ter was disqualified by resolution of the
house. This motion is supposed to be an at
tempt to draw declaration from the govern
ment in favor of Bradlaugh.
Lord Randolph Churchill, Conservative,
moved an amendment that Bradlaugh was
legally disqualified. The attorney gen.
eral advised the house to vote
neither for the motion or amendment, but to
permit Bradlaugh to swear, subject to subse-
ouent legal liabilities. Both the motion
and the amendment we're rejected, the former
by vote of 3O7 to 18. Bradlaugh then walked
up to the table, took the oath and signed
without waiting for the clerk and declared that
now, having taken the oath, he would
take his seat. The speaker told him to with
draw below the bar. Mr.. Bradlaugh said he
would obey, but would claim his seat Lord
Randolph Churchill moveda writ for new
election be issued, Bradlaugh having by his
action vacated his seat.
