Lixcowy, December 25, 1880.—The regents did some hard and efficient have no desire tomeddle in politics, to interfere in local matters, to capture vonventions or to twist lepislation o their own interest. Their only re- quest, according to their pay roll editors is permission to continue on their course of “earning legitimate profits from their investments,” “ro. sisting encroachments on their vested interests,” ““to tho extent of their legitimate influence in the legisla- ture,” undisturbed by bostile Jaw makers and unquestioned by com- plaining producers. The peo’pla con see through a mill stone with a hcle init just as well as the railway kines They know the diffierence between 40 per oeot. dividends on sctual capital invested, and 10 per cent. pro- fits on watered stock. They have had too much experience with railway pol ities o place any credence in the hy- poeritical assertions of the railroad or geoa. They have euffored two deeply from railroad shirking of taxes, rail- road manipulation of city officials, railroad packing of conventious and railroad lobbying in 1he legislature, to believe a word of the professions which ths corporation editors are now making. They are determined to per- mit neither fhreats nor promises to deter them from the duty which | Gh,y owe to themeelves and ohqdnn, to the country at large and their own community in pacticular, sud however bitter may be the con. test or however heavy the odds, thay will wage it foarlemly and earnesily unsil the raflways, liko every citizen, Are amenable to the laws, and cense work,and adjournedat noon Thureday. They evineed good senss and confi- dence in their chancellor by adopting hie recommendations, we believe, al- most entirely. They instructed their execative committee to ask of the leg- inlaturs the following over-aid above the ususl appropristions: For a chemical laboratory worthy the name, $25,000; for an nitiacive medical de- partment, §7,000 per antum; for the beginning of alaw department, $3.000 per annum; to put the agricultursl farm ona better basis, §10,000. The memorial for the appointment of (a0, W. Peck to the chemical department was withdrawn, and eral other applications Prof. Alonzo O/l ina was chosen to the chatr; zalery, &1,800; services to begin at the Ap-il term, the clas in chemistry being cx- cused from experimental etudies until that time. Tomeet the matter of the Ladics' Hull, Mre. Destborn, an eminently cultured 1ady of Boston, was ap- pointed matron and preceptress for the remainder of the university year at$400.

Otherapointments were made and changes ordered which will swell the next appropriations to the university to double the present. amount, but anything less would seem to_be suicidal. Lieut. I T. Webster has infased such life and ene-gy in the military department that the regents voted hima very commendatory resclu:ion. Theidea and value of military are not expressed in the ttle, aside from the mdmrx lue in case of war, there is the bodily exercise, the order, precis- ion, the erect bearing; thess Pphyrical from among sev- “]in the eenate as long as the people of The chances for Kusson's being spesker increase as the western states coincide in ihe demand that Towa she1l have larga recoguition from the republican party. The eenatorial contest in Michigan aprears to be narrowed dovn to Mr, Conger, ex-Gov. Bagley, and Senator Baldwin, with the chances favoring one of the two last. Senator Hanntbal Hamlin, who is spoken of for collector of customs, either at Portland or Bos'on, was boru in 1806. He began his service to the federal government in 1858, It is clsimed that Robeson has about given up_his fight for the New Jorsey senatorship, and that he will throw his influence for Halsey. Oth- erwise, Sewell is ahead in the race. A sonatorial friend of Mr. Blaine reported ©s aying that ho has given up the strugzle for a nomination for the presidency, and will remain Maine will keep him there. Tt is reported that the national re- publican committee will hold its meeting in Washington in March to carry out the Instructions of the Chic- ago convention to mature a plan res- pecting the use of the *“unit rule” in the next national convention, Judge Woods, the new appointee to the United States supreme bench, is about 50 years old, of dark complex- ion, fall habit, likes good things to eat aud drink, and is fall of good fel- lowship. Hs'is the third Ohio man on that bench. Abraham S. Hewitt, William O. Whitaey, and others of that ilkc are taking steps for the reorganization of the New York democracy to crush out the rule of Tammany and Irving Hall, Tt is not clear that under Mr. Hewitt's auepices the change would bo for the better. Senator Logan is better. He eaid that he leaned 80 much on his right leg during the campaign that the leg <ot a sort of rheumatism in it. This will teach campaign speakers that that they should shift from one leg to the other occasionally. A point just made before the legis- lative committee investigating the government of New York is that dur- ing the period that its population has incressed fifty per cent the salsrics asked for by its officers have incressed 450 per cent. Ex-Secretary Boutwell thinks there should he no farther correspondence upon Senator Byyard's Dover speech, but that there should be an investiga- tion by a committee of the senate, I said that Mr. Arthur is de: it should take the same course. _The senate will lose its “watch dog of the treasury” when Mr. Edmunds goes on_the supreme bench. ““Don’t you koow,” said a Washingtoa lobby- Ist, ““that 'when that old cues comes fa the senate and sita down and leta his right eyebrow drop down about thraes, quarters of an inch lower than the left, hell is alwaya to pay? the trainings are of great value to student their plundering and extortion on the producers of the country, robust brain work in the exercisen. life, and there isno mean smount of The matter of and cisteras J meavest old cuss about objecting to everything, anymay; especially apy. thing with money in it; bat when Be ponies would lose anything if their rates were reduced.

Butif the railroad kings can- not eeo it in_this light, our people, through their representatives in the legislature, should take the maiter in and and enact laws which will not place travelers at the mercy of these monstrous monopolies. Tiegisiatnres of othor states have done so, and Ne- braska should not be behind in the matter. Our paoplo demand that something should bo done, and we hope a bill to that effect will be intro- duced this winter. FQUITABLE FREIGHT RATES, Eyracuse Journal, - The people of Nebraska are not se much concerned in ths reduction of passenger fare on the railroads of the state as they are in the lowering by statute of the freight tariff t) a fixed and equitable basis. It would seem to The Syracuse Journal that the manner in’ which tle railroads are conducting their business is one dan- gerous to the welfare of the state and the nation. By pariiality they often destroy the trade of & town by grain’ and stock, thus driving other buyers from » market or submitting to their dictation in buyine. Numerovs in- stances might bo cited thowing a par tiality for cer business mea ard towns to the detriment of other men and places. There seems to be 1o power yet afforfled by legislation in this state to check such unjust die- criminstion. The mnational govern- ment may be needed to give perfect protection by its stronger arm, but Jet each state do what it can in the meantime. The farmers this full have been re. ceiving comparatively fair prices for produce and stock. The other dav, e to their past record, a collection ot railroad magnates, representing the great lines of the country, decreed that they should pay five per cent moro per hundred for freight. Evidently the railrcads desire to diotate to the farmer the price he shall receivo for his grain and stock, and authoritative- Iy meddle with the business of every irdustry with which they come in con- tact. £ a rebate PERTINENT QUESTIONS. Bchuyler Sus. To-day the republican party of Ne- braska is invincible, but in the near fature when the issue will be mprodi- rectly between the railroads and the poople, the queation will be atked on every hand, *What has the Republi- can party of this state done for us?” How shall woanswer that question 7 THE FARMERS' CONVENTION. Walioo Times, The farmers of the atste are pro- posing to hold a convention at Lin- coln in January, for the purpose of trying to influence some healty rail- road legislation. They invite all the counttes of the state to co-operate with them by sending delegates from ail farmers’ clubs. We will learn more aboat this matter and lay it be- fore the people in due time. It is a good mavament, but its efforts are 'ia- ble to fall atill-born upon & monopoly legislature. PERSONALITIES, Garfield is fond of fifteen-ball pacl.
