Tt is statod that systematic vaccination reduced the deaths from smull pox in Austria, Germany, Sweden and Copenhagen from 62,861 during the iast fourth of tho last century to 7,403 in the first third of this, the longer period and the larger population returning one-ninth as many deaths as the shorter time aud the smallor population at the same period. The same thing would follow compulsory systematic vaceina tion here; and the present existence and spread of small pox is due to a disregard, little less than scandalous, of the known laws and needs of pub- dic health, Mge.

Mr. Adams has discharged the arduous duties devolv- ing on him with signal ability, and tho success that has attended the effort of Tur Bk to establish a pormanent and extensive circulation in Council Blufts is largely dueto his indofeatiga- ble industry us a news gatherer, and his zeal on behalf of the principles championed by this paper.

Tue Bee voiced their sontiment in rofusing ‘o endorse the illegal claim of Mr. Majors to a soat in the house as contingent congross man from Nebraska two years ago, and there is no excuse whatever for continuing the farce. True, the republicans of Nebraska have yoted for a contingent congross- man overy year since 1872, but this was done merely to give notoriety to political adventurers and disap- pointed candidates who failed to se- cure congressional nominations, The poeople of Nebraska know their rights undor the foderal constitution. They know that represontation in con- gross is apportioned among the states overy ton years on tho basia of the returns, Congress has no right to enact a law in viola- tion of this provision of the consti- tution and the president is in duty bound to veto any bill enacted by congress that would attempt to appor national census tion congressional representation for any state on any basis excopt the de- cennial census, But if Nebraska had valid claims for a contingent congressman, which were ropeatedly r the past there for p by congress during yours, what oxcuse in oh n claim at this Iate day, when congress is engaged in muking the apportionment, by which Nebraska will receive the representa- tion she is entitled to under the census of 18807 Mr, forth his reasons for Tom Majors' claim in the following bill; which has just reached this office Valentine sets A bill supplemental to an act en titled *‘An act for the apportionment of representatives to congress among several states according to the It is alleged that the ninth federal consus of Nebraska was incorreot and imperfect, showiny much loss than the actual population of the statt that time; and WikREAs, By the state census sinco taken, by the number of votes polled at every election since that time, and by other decisive evidence, it is shown that said state has sufficient popula- congresa at the expense of the country n a repetition of the contingent con gressman farce, benefit on Nehraska, The people of year, when they will elect theer con- grossmen under the new apportion nent.

The milk in this cocoanut is a trifle of §10,000 back pay, which if this bill passes would be claimed by Mr. Majors as his salavy from March 3d, 1879, for sorvices which ho never per- formed.

Valentine for srlary as judge for the time during which Mr. Gritfoy had filled the office, and for which Griffoy had already drawn like sum. But we don't believe the people of Nebraska desire to tax tho people of tho United States 810,000 for the benefit of Mr. Majors for services that have not been rendered. If Mr. Majors is really anxious to represent Nebraska on tho floor of the house, why don't he contest the seat which Valentine occupics’ The offica of contingent congressman is uot recoguized by the onstitution the Jaws of the United States.

But Ttaly is by no means a puny infant, or an insignificant nation. She can hold her head well up among her neigh bors without being justly accused of undue pretentiousness. Her navy is very strong. Her finances are in tolerable shape. Her army is nearly as large as that of France. But, oven 80, an increased vote has been asked for the srmy, more ironclads, of fabu lous strength and power, like the Duilio, are to be constructed, and new fortifications are to be built on the mountains of the frontier. I The French are not so fond of bo coming soldiers as the government could desire. Out of 118,000 men of the first contingent of the class of 1880, recently called out, ouly 93,000 have put in an appearance. Of the second contingent of 38,000, only 2, - 000 have answered the appeal. Thus, no less than 29,000 wmen h not joined their corps for various reasons which the military justice will have to examine. This proportion is elevated beyond all precedont. Four-fifths of these insubordinate citizens will, in the natural course of things, be caught by the gendarmerie. The rest will have either to live as malefactors, or else to emigrate. Such are some of the blessings of standing armies. The Chileanconquest of Peru is not yet wholly accomplished. Troops are coming from Chili in quick succession to reinforce the army of invasion, but at last accounts no move had been made of importance since thearbitrary suppression of the municipality of Lima.

She has al- ways given §600,000 to each of her daughters who has married, and this has drained her savings.
