TIE sticklcrs for so-called local self
government for Omaha would do we'll
TO inform themselves what legislation
such u city as Chicago Is about to ask
OF the Legislature Of Illinois. 1t would
open their eyes to what extent local
government has been taken away from
ward politics and delegated to the gov
ernor and state officers. No one hears
any complaint in Chicago that the right
Of the citizens to self-government has
been abused. The reason is that under
the present system that city has been
better governed than in the palmy days
when the notorious Mike Mcdonald ring
controlled local politics from the mayor
down to policemen. Omaha has reached
shat size and importance when il must

THE Sioux City & Ogden Transcon-
t%inental railroad, like John Pope
Hodnet's air line between the Atlantic
and Pacific, is a project that has its
basis in the imagination of its pro-
moters. Just now nobody wants to in
vest in another transcontinental rail
road from Sioux City or any other place,
although. We have no doubt that any
numbero of contractors stand ready and
willing to build such a road with ONE
body else's money. For all that, the
Sioux City 81 Ogden Transcontinental
may be a powerful factor in furnishing
wind for the Sioux City real estate

In HAS been suggested by a prominent
shipper of Chicago that the interstate
commission be granted authority to fix
maximum rates for railroad t%ransporta-
tion. Such u limit, it is claimed, would
protect the public from extortion, and
at the same time would give railroads
sufficient latitude to rrange their
schedules. The great question is, how
over, whether the commission could fix
maximum rates that would be satisfac-
tory both to the shippers and railroads.

when Nebraska should pass laws equally

Grape Vine Injuries.

For the REFLECTOR:
For the benefit of the readers of the
REFLECTOR, would state that, since
many have lost grape vines during the
last year and have NO knowledge of
the cause, by examination it will be
found that they are attacked by the
twig borer. This animal is one-eighth
of an inch long and of a grayish color,
with dark head. They will bore a
hole at or near the joint and work along
the peth, but the eggs are deposited at
the joint. L do not apprehend any
serious danger, but it is well enough
to be on guard. Their presence is due
to three things: First, varieties not
adapted to our climate and many of
them insect breeders; second, a neglect
of proper culture; third, and the worst
Of all, bad pruning.
There is no remedy or means for
protecting grape vines from their at
tack, when once infested, except to ex-
anime for the presence of the animal
and cut off and burn all portions in
tested by them. This alone will reduce
their numbers. &C. WARDELL,

A Bit of History.

A REFLECTOR reporter in converse
ton last Saturday with II. J. Little,
one of South Dickinson's prominent
farmers, learned piece of war history
which will be of interest to our readers.
Mr.. Little is an old soldier and says
that while IN Camp Chase, during the
war, he frequently saw fine carriage
having Mr.. Thurman aboard drive out
to the grounds and pass directly by the
suffering and sick Union boys oyer to
the Rebel soldiers to whom ke distrib=
uted little delicacies and gifts which
were denied the boys in blue. This
was not once or twice but every day
and showed most conclusiyely the
trend of the old Romans sympathies.
Mr.. Little has no use for man who
would favor Rebel soldier above a
Union soldier and in this he will re-
ceive the hearty acQuiescence of every
veteran of the late unpleasantness.

The City Defeated.

The somewhat famous case of the
city VS.. VIM. Hendricks, agent of the
Union Pacific Railway Co., for main
tanning nuisance, being the railroad
stock yards case, was on trial in the
district court. The city was repre-
sented by G. S. Crawford and Hen
bricks by G.. W. Hurd, and Messrs.
Monroe s. Lockwood of Topeka. The
evidence having been heard, the court
refused to allow the case to go to the
jury, deciding that there was no proof
whatever that Hendricks was respon-
sible for the maintenance of the stock
yards and hence the case against him
must be dismissed.
The case has been carried through
a long legal warfare and this decision
probably settles it.
