w Mr.. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, has pre-
pared remarkable bill. 1t provides for the
construction of railway 4, 800 miles in length
which will connect the United States, Mexi-
CO, the Central American Republics, Column
bia, Venezuela and Brazil. The idea is to
bring all the American people into one great
commercial community, to bind them to-
gether by trade interests, to establish recip-
rocity, to promote friendly relations, and to
consummate this lasting scheme of American
unity. With this end in view, and for the
purpose of maturing the plans whereby it
may be realized, Mr.. Curtin's bill calls for an
international congress in which all the coun-
tries included in the project shall be repre-
sented, and appropriates $4,000 to defray
the expenses of the United States in that con-
nection. - =

, Senator John E. Kenna, of West Vir-
gaia, delivered speech on the controversy
between the President and the Senate, last
Friday, that completely demolished the as
sumptions of the Republicans. He showed
up the Inconsistencies OF the party, and such
leaders as Edmunds. Sherman and Logan.
The speech has attracted great attention and
brings Kenna, although the youngest man
in the Senate, to the front as the Democratic
leader. He read John Sherman's letter,
while secretary Of the Treasury, to Senator
Conkling, refusing to give the reason for re-
moving Chester A. Arthur as Collector at
New York. He showed that President Cleve-
land had only suspended GA officers in eight
tenure of Office law, before amendment, in
full force, had suspended $50 persons in seven
weeks. He proved however, that Grant was
not fast enough in removing men appointed
by Andrew johnson to suit John A. Logan,
aud he read an amend nent offeredto the ten
ure of office law in 1869, by Logan to declare
all offices except U. s. Judges, vacant on the
Both day of June, 1869. He read from Blaine's
book an extract wherein that distinguished
Republican excoriates Edmunds, and shows
from the record that Edmunds in 1869
wanted to suspend the tenure of Office act 80
as to give Grant full swing at the Offices, and
all for the good of the Republican party.

sW terrible state of affairs has come to
light in the State of Pennsylvania, as to the
manner in which certain institutions have
been treating the the soldiers orphans. The
New York Star, in commenting upon the
matter, says: "The McAllisterville school is
fair sample of the rest, and was found to be
about as inferior to Dotheboys Hall as q
country barn is to Vanderbilt stable. The
beds were filled with dirty, moldy straw. The
bed clothing was insufficient and filthy.
Three children slept in a bed; and in an up
per attic, where seventeen boys were nightly
slowed away, there were but thirty cubic feet
of breathing space for each, though the laws
of health require 800. Fifteen pals and four
molasses barrels were utilized for bathing
purposes; seven towels were used for lac
boys, and no underclothing was supplied, al
though the children wore the same suits sum-
mer and winter. Poor butter and cheap floul
were invariably used" This is the great Re.
publican state of Pennsylvania. What Q
howl the party of "all the morality in the
country" would raise if such things existed in
a Democratic or Southern State.

Pensions for Ninety Day Soldiers.

Some time ago DR.. Ellsberry, of Ohio, in
troduced bill to pension all honorably dis
charged soldiers who are incapacitated from
performing manual labor. Itwas referred to
the Pension Committee, of which Ellsberry
is member. The committee has agreed to
report the bill amended so as to provide that
honorably discharged soldiers who served
ninety days during the war and who are or
may become disabled from performing man.

ioned by their own gross carelessness or vic
ious habits, shall be entitled to pension.
The bill to increase tbe rate of pension for

Ths nsw road bill which we published q fev
weeks ago has become law. Under il each
township can improve its own roads il the
citizens lying therein so wish, and already
the citizens of Napoleon township have petit
toned the County Commissioners 10 order a
vote at the coming spring election upon the
question of Road Improvement, which they
have done nndef the provisions Of the new
law. -E gNH -
We congratulate the County Commissioners
and the people of the county upon the solu-
ton of the vexed question of road improve
ments, which has been agitating our people
for the past few months, and to such an eI-
tent that neighbors were quarreling over it,
and had even become enemies. This law al
SO eliminates the question from politics, Civ
ing the electors of each township the right to
say whether the improvement of the roads
should be made or not.
We hope to see other townships move in
the matter, as Napoleon township has done.

A Word to the Democrats of Henry
County.

|
| Within the next ten days the nominations
for corporation, township and county Offices
are to be made, and it behooves the Democracy
| of the county to nominate the right kind of
men, good, capable and honest men. In the
past the party has been quite fortunate in
placing before the people good and capable
men, and we have no doubt of its doing so
now, but we only wish to remind the rank
and file of the party of the occurrence and
urge upon them the necessity of attending
the caucuses and elections.
We do not wish to be understood as dictat-
ing who should be nominated. We only urge
the selection of unexceptionable tickets. This
can be left to the Judgment of every intelli-
gent man, as those who do the nominating
know what constitutes an honest and capable
man. But sometimes the precedents of the
party make poor selections, and the result is
our candidate is defeated at the polls. Our
voters are very Democratic. They have
minds of their own and they will not vote for
isbad candidate simply because he is on the
ticket. This has been demonstrated more
than once. An improper nomination is al
ways defeated. In this, our voters are not
like the voters of the opposition, who walk
up like "dumb driven cattle" and vote for
every man on the ticket, let him be ever so
bad. Of course sometimes the best of men
are defeated, and it does not follow that be-
cause man is defeated that his nomination
was unwise.
1t is also important that every Democratic
vote is out at the election. Get out every vote
belonging to the party ond our victory will be
sure and complete. 1t is more important
that this be done than spending time and eff
fort in converting opposition votes. We
therefore urge Democrats to turn out, nom
mate good men and then stand by them.

Against Hurd.

The committee has voted to report adverse
ly to Frank H. Hurd, and in vavor of allow
ing Romeise to retain his seat. This is a
great disappointment to Mr.. Hurd and his
many friends, who were confident that he
would secure his seat. 1t is reported that his
case was not strong enough to oust Romeise
and secure him his seat. The matter now goes
to the House, and it might be possible that
that body would reverse the decision of the
Committee. although il is not probable.
Mr.. Hurd and his friends have not given up
hope yet. 1t is said that in case Mr.. Hurd is
not seated he will be offered high position
at Washington. r

~ An eastern exchange says that one of
the cute things in the wage system is that
when corporation cuts down wages 10 per
cent. and then raises wages 10 per cent, il
has really made cut down of 1 per cent.
This may not strike workingmen atfirst sight
as being correct, but it is really so. Let us
illustrate: Suppose man earns 81 per day
and has his wages cut down 10 per cent. Then
he gets so cents day. When he gets raise
of 10 per cent. it is 10 per cent. on 80 cents,
which amounts to nine cents. Then, with
the advance, the man gets 80 cents instead Of
81 per day, as at first.

NoRrH Loup, Neb., March s

Mr.. EDITOR:-As / am at my jour
ney's end / will try and give you little
of my experience. I arrived here on
the 4th, and found it to be a very fine
country. am well pleased with what
/ have seen, with the exception Of the
broncho. AS I have had little expert
ence will give you descripsion of the
broncho and my first ride on one. A
broncho Is a horse; he has four legs,
like the esaw-horse, but is decidedly more
skittish. The broncho is Of gentle de-
pertinent and modest mein, but there
isn't real safe place about him. There
is nothing mean about the broncho, he
is perfectly reasonable, and acts on prin-
ciple; all he asks is to be let alone; he
does ask this and even insists on it; he
Is firm in this matter and no kind of
argument can shake his determination.
My uncle has q bronchO and know
him quite we'll. One day man roped
him and tried to put saddle on him;
the broncho looked sadly at him, shook
his head and begged the fellow as plain
ly as could be to go away and not try to
interfere with the broncho, who was
simply engaged in the pursuit of his
own happiness, but the man came on
with the saddle and continued to ag-
gress, then the brQncho reached out with
his right hind foot and expostulated
with him so that he died. When thor
oughly reused the broncho is quite fatal;
If you can get close enough to him to
examine his cranial structure you will
find cavity just below the eye, where
the bump of remorse should be. The
broncho is what the COW boys call high
strung; ify you want to know just how
high he is strung climb up unto his
apex. Irode the broncho once; I didn't
travel far, but the ride was mighty ex-
hilerating while it lasted. 1 got on with
great pomp and derrick, but didn't
put on any unnecessary style when I
went to get off; the beast evinced con-
siderable surprise when took up my
location on his dorcal fin; he seemed to
think moment, then gathered up his
loins and delivered a volley of heels and
hardware straight out from the shoulder;
the recoil was fearful; I saw that my
seat was going to be contested and I be-
gan to make motion to dismount, but
the beast had got under way by this
time, so breathed a silent hymn and
frightened my grip; he went off into a
spasm of tall stiff-legged bucks, and
pitched me so high that every time I
started down I would meet him coming
upon another trip; finally he gave me
one grand farewell boost and Glove the
armament and split up through the
hushed ethereal until my toes ached
from the barrenness of the tempe rature,
and 1 could distinctly hear the music of
the sphinxs, and then came down and
fell in little heap about 10 yards from
the starting point. Yours truly,
