More Activity Needed.

DNuNhJ iuulOlo COlHc from
Washington to the effect that the reye-
nue. reform measures of this session will
be more noticeable for their sparsity
rather than for the fullness with which
they will meet the wishes of the people.
1t will be we'll for members to bear in
mind that however blunted in their zeal
they may become under the glare of life
at the capital the people are just as
much in earnest as ever. Their quietude
comes not from Indifference but from a
desire to catch the first sound of some
thing dropping.
The future success of the Republican
party depends in a great measure upon
the action of the present congress.
Should it fail to meet the wishes of the
people in the way of reforms demanded,
its chances of success in 1884 will be
borne so far down on the bear side Of
the market that Gabriel's trumpet would
be hardly powerful enough to raise them
again to par. Revenue reform is no
less important than civil service reform.
While devoting themselves honestly to
the latter, members should see that the
former does not suffer a partial eclipse.
The pocket is the moving power of the
world. Disguise it as You may, this
homely receptacle yields an influence
that is not to be gainsaid by unctious
argument nor removed by soft speeches.
What the people desire is relief from a
portion of their present burden of taxa
ton. However willing they may have
been to carry it when the necessities of
the country required or however
ready they might be to shoulder it again
should necessity render it obligatory,
they now see no reason why they should
be taxed in order that the national treas
ury should show q surplus, which in
turn offers q temptation to e~xtravagant
expenditure that it would be much bet
ter to remove.
Another and weighty reason why con
gress should take up this matter, and
at once is the present unsettled state If
values. Business men are at a loss to
know what to do until they are certain
of the action of congress. The efforts
of Kelley and his coadjusters to preserve
the highest possible tariff by removing
the tariff on whiskey and tobacco has
already began to bear fruit of q kind
not pleasant to contemplate. Tobacco
manufacturers especially fear to proceed
until the decision of congress is known
and, as a consequence, thousands of
men, women and children, are thrown
out of employment right in the middle
of mid winter. The suffering among
these poorer classes must be intense I'M
less by decisive action of some kind con-
gress disposes of this question in aman-
ner that will give this industry chance
to settle down on some solid basis.
The unsettlement of business values is
a dangerous experiment at any time and
only justifiable under the pressure OF q
great popular demand. When changes
are, however, undertaken, they should
be accomplished speedily and quietly to
the end that the business of the country
may receive as little damage as possible
from the jar. Such being the fact the
present hating uncertainty is hardly
less than criminal; ga little more grape"
is apparently needed in the national
legislature.

ct an examination with an hundred 9TH
ers if he is to live in daily or hourly
dread of receiving the significant envel-
ope containing a notice of dismissal.
What incentive has he to honest work if
at the beck of a finger his official head
falls off. What encouragement has he
for doing his level best when his place
is not worth an hours purchase.
The very first step in the reform of
civil service is iixity of tenure during
good behavior. Allow no removals ex-
cept for cause, when charges preferred
shall have been fully established. This
places the service on a stable footing.
Then every employee is melted to do his
very highest best. He knows that
so long as he performs his duties hon
estly and squarely, he is secure of his
place. He sees further that advance
ment rests wholly with himself, and the
man who under the one system is dull.
stolid, a mere machine, intent only on
getting through as little work as posi-
bic, is transformed under the other into
an alert, ambitious servant, ready and
willing to work late and begin early,
knowing that the reward is sure.
The fact is so ~self-evident that it
hardly needs more than a presentation.
Argument is unnecessary. Civil service
reform without providing against arbi-
trary removal, is the play of Hamlet
with the melancholy Dane" absent in
other countries. To assert the con-
trary, eve when the assertion comes
from so distinguished a quarter as the
above, shows narrow-mindedness, a
blindness, in fact, that bodies no good for
a genuine reform of the service.

CHANGE THE T
Mad and Despair the Net Result Of the Present
System Of Road Making.
CONTINUE THE WORK.

CONTINUE THE YORK. q
The press is beginning to agitate the
question of the improvements Of country
roads. And / hope that it may con-
tinue in the good work until the end is
accomplished. For it is a matter of
much greater importance to the bust
ness man and the farmer that we should
have good roads at all seasons of the
year, than most people seem to realizs
And do hope, that through the press,
them masses of the people may be arous-
ed to the Importance of it. l have been
surprised at the apathy of the people il
year after year travelling and using up
horses and wagons on our roads that at
some seasons of the year, are almost
impossible and no improvement on
what they were ten or perhaps twenty
years ago. 1t is the supposition that
these roads are
WORKED EVERY YEAR,
but from travelling over them no one
would ever accuse any one of having
wasted their time or labor. Our road
taxes are payable in labor and at the
time in the spring that the roads ought
to be worked the farmers are the most
busy consequently won't turn out and
so the roads must 60 until a more con-
yenient time. The road overseer being
n of them wishes to make no trouble
with his neighbors, so the roads have to
remain until the fall, or a time when
the farmers are not busy, and when
they are worked of what does it consist
but piling up mud from the sides of the
roads into the center, so as to give the
next storm
A CHANCE TO SPREAD
it out again.
What we need is a change in our
present laws in regard to road-making
SO as to confirm to the age of progress
in which we now live. Our present
laws answered at a time when the
country was sparsely settled and money
hard to get to pay taxes, SO that the
roads had to be made mostly by the
farmers. But now that times have
changed, and money more plenty why
not collect all road taxes in money as
VIZ do other taxes. Then appoint a
competent overseer in each town who
understands the principal of road-mak-
ing to superintend the work. Let them
take first the main travelled roads and
each year do what is done
IN a PERMANENT MANNER
so that it will stand Cor years. Com
memo on the hills, grade them down and
fiji up the hollows, then cover with a
good coat of gravel or in the absence of
that broken rocks. Commence at a
certain place and each year
MAKE A PART
Of the road substantially if only a few
rods and if all towns would lend a help
ing hand it would be but a few years
until we would have such roads to
market that it would be a pleasure to
travel thereon no matter what the
weather might be and the poor horses
would bless you. MACK.

correspondence IT TN BEE.
GREENWOOD, Cass County, Neb., June
90 am y little surprised to see such
glowing accounts of the growing crops of
this state at this time, when more smflrr
OF the state is under water than has been
at this time of the year since my acuuaint
ance with Nebraska, which dates back for
IA number of years. Believing these re-
ports to be the productions of COM
lherclal travellers, who do not know a corn
held from Il duck pond, and who are mis-.
representing the situation and best inter
ests of the producing classes, | feel it nv
privilege and duty, as Il man who blows
the soil for Il living, to say that the par
Ties VINO make these reports are ignorant
on what they are writing about, or else
are wllfully mlsrepresenting the situation
on facts as they exist throughout the corn
belt of the United States. These reports
are calculated to depress the market
prices OF the crop on hand. 1t is safe to
say that one-half the present crop has been
planted twice or three times, and still
not half IA stand on the ground. Some
lelus were not replanted at all. The
weeds are taller than the corn in many
instances and many fields are 50 wet and
covered with water that it is impossible
to pillow the corn for many days to come.
The consequence is that no crops can be
raised on this land this year.
Now all we ask is u fair show and a
fair price for III produce. As the farmer
Is II laborer, in the strict sense of the
word, and does his portion in producing
the wealth of the country, we feel that
misrepresentation of actual facts concern
ing the growing crops of the country UNI
fair and unjust to say the least. If the
farmers of the country who are subscrib-
ers to your paper (and they number
thousands) will only speak out through
your paper it will soon be proven beyond
a doubt that the corn crop of 1883 cannot
be an average crop as is reported, or
even II half crop the country over. Hop
ing to hear from different sections of the
country, | AN with respect, yours.

Horse Sheer Keeps Moving.
The pioneer spring wagon manafuctur-
er, Mr.. Chas. j.. Karbach, whose shops
are located at No. 313 South 18th street,
run out the other day a fine three spring
wagon which he made by special order for
Mess. Shaw and Field, the leading con-
tractors, of this city.
Mr.. Karbach, who is without exception
one of the most practical spring wagon
makers in this state, deserves much credit
for several vehicles lately turned out of
his shop, but especially for the one above
mentioned, which is one of the most ex
pensive and solidly constructed wagons in
this city.
Mr.. Karbach's establishment is also
noted for fine horseshoeing, and he has
nc equal in this city. The care and skill
that he displays in the horseshoing trade
is attracting the elite of this city to his
establishment.
Mr.. Karbach is a fine and responsible
man with excellent judgment, and
he deserves the patronage heaped upon
him by our best citizens.
