Il aud VIC trust they cannot be
delayed. Let us not wait
n mis- grand army of veterans
s4si ~ decimated by death. Let
US in~,,s upon them now. No party
or section should oppose. Let us not
wait until YOUR ranks have been 40
weakened that your power will not
be felt or your influence sought.
Let US see to i, that this geoerstion
shall not be CHARGED, as was the past,
when congress dsllied and slowly
gave to the veterans of the wars Of
the revolution and 1912 after nearly
all OF these armies had been gathered
in tho dust, aud when it seemed q
mockery to taunt the brave men
whose days on the earth were nearly
ended, to come with feeble steps to
extend a palsied hand and ask with
failing breath for the monthly stipend
so long withheld and at last grudg.
ingly given.
So has justice been denied the
Mexican soldier until the power of
that little army is being dcspoiled in
the grave. Obtain it in your strength,
for gratitude and justice are too often
denied to the tottering step and fall
tering voice. Learn from the past.
Wait not till the frightening shadows
Of eventide are ~dsrkening the night
of your life, and only u fragment left
to be benefited, as the Mexican SOL
diers now are, from one congress to
another.
We are admonished the great
captain Of this age. Of all ages, whom
the world hOnored, whom the ma
tons adorned, aud the grand armies
Of the union loved, has folded his
tents on earth. Only q few short
years and the great armies he led will
be marshalled with him on the other
side. from whose shore you begin to
hear the murmur of the breaking
waves. Ask q generous people to
compel their government to be just
the comforts during life are more to
be desired than eulogy, PROFESSIONS
and monuments after death.
Much has been said Of the cost Of
the pension list. What of it? Sup.
pose it was four times the amount,
would not the union have been
chesply purchased? Better pay more
to the veterans and have less to be
absorbed in schemes Of corruption
and plumber. The treasury has been
full even to OVERLOOKING. inducing
attempts to Lessen taxation while in.
genious schemes have been suggested
to deplete it.
Nearly all have reached and many
are beyond the three score yeara, and
ten q he added by reason of the
p~riva,ions and hardships of camp
and march and field. There is nc
longer any reason why tho crippled
veterans should be grinding organs
on street corners, and the Thousands
unable longer to toll should be made
comfortable during the evening Of
life by the generosity aud honesty Of
a great republic.

1t is intended that these animals
shall be fair representatives of their
various breeds. They are kept pri-

students and to such other interested
persons as may favor US with their
visits.
The preservation of all data in the
way of growth, development, milking
qualities, fecundity, early maturity,
&C., &C., is an important part of the
work in connection with the herd and
has already given Us much valuable
and interesting information.
There is some one constantly in
attendance at the farm, who will be
pleased to chow the herd to any Wis.,

The Lincoln Journals editor, Mr..
Gere, is finding out a few things, as a
member Of the railroad commission,
and We are glad to see it. We have
always admired his ability, and if he
will take his paper up to the high
platform of the public prosperity"
plant his flag there and swing the
Journal into line, he will do a goodly
thing for the state. The following is
what attracted our attention:
THE proposition is a correct one
that Wyoming would have been better
off and the Union Pacific railroad
made more money if the former man.
ayers of that road had kept their
hands off the coal mines of the terri
tory. Making all allowances for ex-
~aggeration as to the evil effect of such
interference with the legitimate chan
nels of industry, there is still abundant
room to pronounce it against public
policy. There is a certain interest
held by the public in railroads and
other common carriers, and any SUBJ
version of the powers and privileges
of these corporations for the private
benefit Of anybody is an offense against
the public which will sooner or later
recoil upon the corporation that per-
mits it. The voluntary recognition of
this fact would greatly smoothe the
relations of corporations with the
people"

The Condition OF the l000StPl01
College.
During the past few months many
important changes have been made in
the Industrial College in the endeavor
to make it all that its founders con.

as follows:

agriculture being almost entirely re-
constructed so as to secure . better
order Of studies, and q greater econ.
omy Of time. A short two year
course in elementary agriculture has
been framed to meet the wants Of
those who cannot take the full course.
I'd, Equipment.--The new equip
ment in chemistry costing $4,000
dollars; in botany costing 5000;
besides those in geology and zoology,
and tho 5000 expended for additions
to the library are the most important
parts of the new equipment.
Sd, New Laboratory.--As chem
istry is the most important of the
sciences related to agriculture and
the mechanic arts, . large chemical
laboratory is now building. and will
be ready for use by midwinter. In
addition to supplying rooms for
chemistery, it will temporarily &C.
commodste the department of botany !
and horticulture.
4th, Botanic Gsrden.--A beginning
has been made upon . botanic garden,
and about 100 varieties have been
planted. This il to be increased and
extended until all the hardy trees,
and herbs which will endure
this climate are represented.

themselves instead of moving, 80 In

revolvers, knives and clubs marched
down to China town aud began firing
at the frightened Cinnamon. Then
they began to leave, picking up what
they could carry and scattered over
the hills like wild cattle. the miners
firing at them as they went but some
of them tried to hide in their cellars
and houses but the whites discover
ing this proceeded to Destroying the
houses, thus burning the Cinnamon
within. There were seventeen Of
them shot and burned, and there 10

The interest on public money is
exciting attention in different parts
of the state, and the probability is that
by the next session of the legislature
there will be some suggestion that
may be worth considering. Nebraska
counties, here and there, are begin
ming to have heavy balances in their
favor at times, and thinking men feel
that the public ought to be entitled to
something in the way of interest, if
there is any safe way of investing that
can be devised. Saunders county is
just nov the advance guard on this
line, and we may take occasion soon
to summarize the battle there.

A TERRIBLE wind storm struck
Washington Court House, q city of
1000 inhsbitants, twenty-five miles
west of Springfield, Ohio, the other
evening, and almost literally swept it
from the earth. Court street, the
most business thoroughfare, was
ruined, almost every business block
was demolished. Hardly q private
residence in the town escaped, fully
400 buildings going down. Churches
were rent, and depots blown to pieces.
Some houses were lifted bodily and
carried several hundred feet and then
dashed to the ground with terrible
force. A number of persons are
reported killed and those injured,
seriously and slightly, number about
800. The loss will exceed a million
dollars.

The full court at Manitoba, Chief
Justice Msllbridge presiding. gave
judgment the other day in the Riel
case, disallowing the appeal and con-
firming the death sentence passed by
the northwest territorial court. There
ia a strong conviction in Winnipeg
that Riel will be hanged, as from the
testimony before the jury in the case,
they could arrive at no other decision
and discharge their duty, than to pro-
nounce him guilty. 1t is not fashion,
able, and perhaps hardly strict justice
to hang rebels nowadays, and it
would not be surprising if the English
Sovereign would come to his relief
