THE pbiladelphia Press has figured i

THE Philadelphia Press has figured it
all out. 1t says that as Ohio is the only
state holding elections this fall on which
the choice of United States senator will
turn, should the republicans gain the
control of the Ohio legislature, that party
will be in a fair way to retain the control
of the United States senate until 1885.
This gain, with no other changes, would
make the republicans and readjusters in
a majority of six. The democrats, how
ever, have a fair chance of losing a sena-
tor in California, Indiana and Oregon.
The only states represented by republi-
can senators whose terms expire in 1885,
which by the mutations of politics, may
fall possibly into democratic hands, are
Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, New
York and Pennsylvania. The republi-
cans can afford to lose two states with
out impairing their control. At the same
time they have a much better chance of
recovering the three democratic senator
ships than the democrats have of seour-
ing any n of the five states last PANIED.

be in an even worse condition than the
Union Pacific is to-day, with nearly every
road that centers at Omaha or at Denver
leaving it for its narrow-guage rival. In
a general way this competition in Colo
RADIO and Utah is beneficial to San Fran
cisco and California, but our interest in
transcontinental railroad building will
only become really intense when we see a
powerful railroad company organized, and
such an amount of work done between

That Railroad.


Schuyler Sun.
Prospective railroad building through
this portion of Nebraska is having con-
siderable to do with the happiness or un-
happiness of the people hereabouts just
at this time, and consequently anything
bearing upon hat subject is of interest.
The following we clip from the Lincoln
Journal of July Sth:
The latest railroad company incorporat-
ed, is the Fremont & Central Nebraska
Railroad Company" The object of this
company is to build a road, the termini
of the first division of which shall be
Fremont and a point on the Columbus 81
Norfolk road between Lost Greek, in
Platte county, and Madison, in Madison
county. The course of the road will be
through Dodge, Colfax and Platte coun-
ties, or,if found more convenient, through
| Stanton and Madison. The incorporators
are w. HI. Munger, L. d. Richards, j. j.
Hawthorne, Alfred P. Hopkins, Lewis
M. Keene and E. III. Barnard. The cap
ital stock is $500, 600.
Perhaps a little history in connection
with the above item may be interesting.
Some months ago the town of Fremont,
oCsi VI oOSuihhS oOuoiSih ouoiS
through some of her enterprising citizens
took hold of an enterprise which had for
its object the building of a road south to
Lincoln and thence to points in Kansas.
This enterprise the Union Pacific nipped
in the bud by extending its line through
a portion of the territory which the Other
road had intended to occupy. Then
came the incorporation of the
Omaha & Northwestern which on it's face
was another branch of the Union Pacific,
This road if built, will have the effect tc
cut off a large proportion of Fremont's
wholesale trade. Fearing this the Ere.
mont capitalists, as indicated in the item
above, have organized a company which
propose building a road through n Of
the richest portions of the Union Pacific
territory. The plain object of this is tc
deter the Union Pacific from building &
road that will %injure Fremont as a whole
sale point.

Overland Freights.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
If anything could show the general de-
sire of Eastern railroads for a new over
land line it is the present trouble respect
ing freights between the Missouri river
and other points to the eastward and the
two important shipping points, Denver
and Ogden. The Denver and Rio Grande
has only been in complete operation for a
few weeks, yet it has become a powerful
competitor of the Union Pacific, and a
dozen Eastern roads that do business east
of the Mississippi river are seeking to
make arrangements with it for. shipping
to the Pacific coast. The fact that it is a
narrow-guage and bulk has to be broken
at Denver and at Ogden does not operate
as a bar to this through business. An
organization has been effected, called the
Colorado Traffic Association, which alread-
y includes numerous roads and to which
the Illinois Central and the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha lines have
just been admitted. These will all here
after ship by Denver and the narrow
guage to Ogden, whence goods will be
forwarded to the Pacific coast by the
Central Pacific. The antipathy to the
Union Pacific has been smoldering for a
good many years, but never found vent
until the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
open edits line to Denver. On the very day
the new line was able to ship TO from
the East every Denver merchant trans
ferred to it all his business hitherto con-
trolled by the Union Pacific. The latter
was, however, still master of all the traf-
tc between Ogden and all Eastern points,
and maintained that supremacy till the
completion of the Denver and Rio Grande,
when the scramble to get into the new
freight pool began in earnest, leaving 1t
ished prestige. A similar dislike is felt
for the Central Pacific, not only among
the merchants of this city and coast, but
among all the competing Eastern lines
that do any portion of the through over
land business. While the Central Pacific
holds the key to the situation they are
silent, but let a new line be built from

THE p~ostoffice department has issued
an important general order regarding the
transmission and delivery of newspapers
and periodicals to regular subscribers.
1t had grown to be the custom in many
postoflces to regard second-cla mail
matter as of secondary Importance, and
the publishers have beenmuch annoyed to
find the bulk of their daily mail to con-
sist Of complaints from subscribers who
had not received publications for which
they had paid. This fact being brought
to the attention of the department
caused the issue Of an order, which
plainly informs postmasters that second
class matter is of at least equal import,
ance with the letter mail, and that il
should be treated with equal care by
postal clerks. The practice of reading
newspapers and periodicals passing
through the mails is also ordered to bs
discontinued. The order ~ a timely
one, and will largely benefit both pub
fishers and subscribers. Postmasters in
country Offices will be pleased to Learn
that there is no prohibition of the Gus,

THE yALLEy or THE fLKHoRN.

IHh hLbk UT fhE fshfhtfNA's
THE BEE is daily in receipt of good
news from Northern Nebraska, that sec
ton of our great state which has been so
long neglected by the rush Of immigra-
ton and which is now beginning to at
tract the attention and reap the reward
of its long years of patient waiting. An
excellent country press is spreading the
tale of its fertile uplands and well wa
tered valleys, of its wealth of lands yet
unhomesteaded, and its thousands of
acres that car be purchased at low rates
by actual settlers; and aided by the
efforts of the Sioux CITY q Pacific rail
road immigration is ut last pouring into
the upper country at a rate which re-
minds one of the palmy days of the exo'
dus from the east into the countries
south of the Platte.
The valley of the Elkhorn has been
making giant strides in progress during
the past year. In Cunning and Stanton,
in Madison and Antelope and Holt
thousands of acres of new
land have been broken and
every train is bringing new enquirers
after cheap homes into one of the most
healthful sections of our state. The
towns have kept pace with the progress OF
the country. We hear much of miles OF
fencing and hundreds of new barns and
cribs, of the sales of improved agricul.
tural implements to farmers whose little
homesteads are now making them indie.
pendent of debt and mortgages. Specu-
lators still hold large tracts of good land
in some of the counties, but it is coming
rapidly into the market and adding to the
productive powers of the country. AT
West Point and Wisner, ut Stanton, and
Madison, and Oakdale, and Neigh, and
O'Neil, the march of improvement is
steady and uninterrupted, and enter.
prising and energetic citizens in these
towns, as well as in a host Of smaller vii
lagos, are working hard to build up the
communities in which they reside.
What THE BEE desires to do in this
connection is not to simply boom a por-
ton of the country which has been neg
lected far beyond its deserts in
times past, but to call the
attention of its readers elsewhere to the
advantages offered by northern Nebraska
to those seeking homes in this state
The counties which stretch along the
banks Of the Elkhorn offer the best of in.
ducements to intending settlers, a black
and quick soil, an ample rainfall, and the
assurance of excellent harvests. The
class of settlers already located in these
counties are among the best in our state
Good roads and bridges, a complete sys
tenn of schools, abundant church facili
ties, colleges and seminaries, and a live
and wide awake press are found scattered
through the counties, and located in Tho
towns and villages. Land is cheaper il
proportion to its nearness to the market
than in any other section of Nebraska
and the poorest industrious settler of to
day is certain of being the Independent
farmer of five years hence. Nebraska
boom to-day is the north country, and nj
fairer, more fertile, or more available
section Of that country can be found thar
the valley of the Elkhorn.

HE CANNOT BE SPARED.

Mr.. Tilden is ouce more in the hands
of his friends. This is the milk in tho
~cocoanut of The late reports of his re-
markable mental and physical activity
and explains fully the pains which Mr..
Watterson and other visiting statesmen
ut Graystone took in spreading through
the press the news of his complete resto-
ration to health. And now comes Mr..
John Bigelow, of New York, one of the
most confidential intimates of the aged
statesman, and publishes q long state
ment in the New York Times in which
he asserts that Mr.. Tilden will accept
with fervor the denomination on the old
ticket, that a number of friends of whose
movements he is constantly informed are
engaged in an effort to secure that nomi-
nation and that the prospects of the sue
cess of their efforts are more than en-
couraging.
This is interesting news for Doctor Mil
Ter, We call upon him at once to post
pone indefinitely that trip to Europe Oh
the magnificent steamers of the
Cunard line. His pass will keep, but the
campaign will not await his return.
Without the helpful hands of DR.. Miller,
a Tilden canvass in these regions would
be a barren waste of wind. Tho party
cannot afford to lose those cheering inter
views with the sage of Greystone which
ever and anon decorate the editorial
page of the Herald, and combine agri-
culture, astronomy, calves and personal
remeniscences with political business. If
the democratic farmers constituency of
| Nebraska is to be held firmly in line for
the old ticket and reform, DIR. Miller
must clearly remain even though Queen
Victoria and the Empress Eugene refuse
to be comforted. Mr.. Tilden and his
friends, in whose hands he has so reserv-
eddy placed himself, cannot spare the
Doctor until after March 4th, 1884, The
campaign may not be crowned with sue
cess, but the memory of the Oregon bust
ness in 1876, with Cronin's nose as n bea'
con light, looms up in the dim vista OF
the past and sheds a ray of hope upon
the future. Some scattering electora
votes in the west may BIO needed mex
