TRYING IN mn TOO uucH.

The attempt to force through the leg
islature maximum rate bill which COW
ers forty pages, is bound to prove a
dismal failure. The makeup OF the
present legislature Is not favorable to
anti-monopoly laws. That fact has
been patent from the outset. II
the men who are honestly seek
ing to give the people re-
lief from eXtortion or imposition
by the railroads de sire to do something
practical will be content with few
simple provisions they may be able to
accomplish something before the legis-
lature adiourns. A bill that will com
pei all railroads in Nebraska to main
tain the same classification that now
prevails in Illinois aud Iowa would
perhaps have some chance of passing
both houses. Such a bill would
prevent overcharges to shippers by
change of classification and lay the
foundation for regulation that would
prove effective. a bill that would estab-
lish the local tonnage rate for the four
principle staples that are transported by
Nebraska railroads-namely coal, lum-
ber. grain and cattle, with proper differ
cntiation for the long and short haul
would be more effective and practical
than an inflexiblo maximum rate
schedule with nearly as many articles
as are embraced in a national tariff bill.
There is such thing as trying TO do

northern states solely as matter OF
doubted that IL there were congress
sonal districts in the north with pre-
ponderance OF colored voters, as there
are in the south, some OF them would
have colored representatives. Their
vote would not be suppressed, and
it would be fairly counted when
cast. But there is no reason why
colored man should be sent to con-
gress from northern district simply
as an affair of sentiment, or as Mr..
Hemphill of South Carolina put it, to
make living example OF his fitness to
make laws for the people OF the United
States" Experiments of this kind in
politics are neither expected nor to be
desired.
It will be useless for the southern
democrats to attempt to justify their
conduct toward the colored citizens of
the south by such argument as this, or
by citing casual incidents of hostility
to colored men in the north. The fact
remains, supported by evidence
that can not be successfully ques-
ioned, that hundreds of thou
sands OF colorcd men are denied their
political rights in the south, while ia
the north they are as free and untram
meled in the exercise OF these rights
as the white citizen. This is the plain
and simple issue, which cannot be re-
moved by taunt and rccrimination.

GOSDer's County Seat.

ELwooD, Neb., Feb. ii Special to THE
BEE. The county seat of Gosper county is
still hauling between two points, Elwood
and bonneville, with the records at the lat
ter. The county officers, instead of moving
the records here at the time contemplated,
allowed them to remain at Homervile till a
decision should be had from the supreme
court, finally disposing of the injunction that
was dissolved by Judge Cochran of this dis
trict and taken to the supreme court on error
and argued and submitted there on the 18th
ult. No delay was expected In Il few days
notice of restraining order was received to
the effect tnat the county officers should
await the further order of the court. Very
recently notice from the supreme court was
served on the county officials sulnmoning
them to appear before the court at Lincoln,
July 2, 1889, to hear the discussion of the
case So the matter thus rests, with both
sides preparing for the contest case pending
in the district court that conveues at the
county seat, if it can be found on the Goth Of
March next.
A case that has rested quietly, but is liable
to create no little sensation in this county,
and now pending in the district court, is the
state of Nebraska against Abraham M.
Whistler, confined in jail and charged with
rape on the person of Rachel d. Myers, who
is about eleven years old.

ATTENTION is being directed in the
manufacturing centers OF the country to
the possibilities to which the waste
products of corn can be put. One OF the
latest discoveries is the manufacture of
paper and cloth from corn husks. 1t is
claimed that the linen made from the
long fibre of husks gives an excellent
substitute for the coarser grades of flax
and hemp and is superior to iute, gunny
cloth and similar products. While the
shorter fbres OF the huslys are most ad-
mirably adapted for the manufacture of
paper, which is stronger than the
papers of like weight made from linen
or cotton rags. There can be no ques-
tion that within comparatively few
years manufacturing enterprises will
spring up in Nebraska and other of the
so-called agricultural states of the west
to convert our natural products by
methods yet to be discovered or still in
their infancy into articles of general
utility.
