Doctor MiLLer believes in granite and swears by macadam. Tuk board of trade committee will have to revise its figures on the of paving. They are suggestive undue partiality toward macadam. —_— As long as the farmers are prosper- ous, out of debt and own their own farms and machinery there need he no fear of an impending general panic. €. PAUL proposes to pave with granite blocks, as being the only ma terial suitable to a rapidly growing metropolis. Omaha should not be be- hind St. Paul. Tue co-operation of congress is ask ed in the celebration of the discovery of the mouth of the Mississippi by La Salle, two hundred years ago. The bi-centennial craze is evidently upon us. Four hundred and forty thousand imraigrants landed in Castle Garden and paid $6,000,000 for transporta- tion to railroads. Ttis evident that tho emigrant business more than pays expenses, Heavy duties were recently levied on the French railroads by the govorn ment which now intimates that the state will forego the levy on condition that a large reduction is made in pas- senger and freight rates. GeNeraL Pope has declined to be intorviewed on the Fitz John Porter case, but privately expresses the opin- ion that the situation has not been changed by any of the testimony pro- duced since the original court martial, THERE is trouble again in Warsaw. Two hundred and fifty suspected nihilists have been arrestedl and brought to 8t. Petersburg for trial. 1t is safe to say that they will be con- victed. Trial and conviction go hand in hand In the czar's empire. A CAREFUL estimate of the public dobt of the country for state, county, municipal and school purposes puts the total amount at $1,000,000,000, of which only $682,000,000 is bonded. Of the bonded debt a large portion was contracted 1n aid of railroads. RerreseNTATIVE O'Netr has intro- duced a bill to suppress gambling in the District of Columbia and a local paper admonishes congressmenin view the groat American game of poker, that they can’t vote on biils in which they have a personal pecuniary inter- est. AnMong the petitions introduced by Congressman Valentine is the petition of Mrs. A. 8, Paddock and 123 others, ladies of Gage county, Nebraska, for the expulsion of Gecrge Q. Cannon, a polygamist, from the house of repre- sentatives, and fur the enactment of laws to make etfective the existing anti-polygamy laws. What is the matter down in Gage county! Ts the state of Beatrice threatened by aMur- mon invasion? — A 1aw for the national regulation of immigration is ono of fho greatest needs of the country. The tide of nmigration during the last year was higher than ever before, and is still | rising. Next year it promises to reach enorimous proportions, There is great need of a statute making pro visions for the reception, protection and care of immigrants landing at our ports of entry. It is manifestly un- fair that the burden of caring for such should be delegated to the cities wiere they land Of course it is hard on Nebraska to have a Inrzer population than its rep- resentation in congress presumes, but then there are a many more states i tho sime box, Missouri is equally cuutled 10 one more repre- sentative on the same ground, and thero is not a particle of reason w Nebraska should be given additional representation when other states just as much entitled to it are denied.— Missouri Republican. Nebraska does not ask for addi- tional representation in advance of apportionment. Her people admit that there is no legitimate reason why an exception should be made in her fayor. The bill introduced into co gress by Representative Valentine is @ back pay steal of the most bare- feced nature, which is not endorsed by the citizens of this state. BUILDING FROM THE TOP. Any efficient system of public edu- cation must be based on a firm foun- dation of thorough primary instrue- tion. The tendency of late years has been to increase the facilities of the high and grammar schools at the ex- pense of the lower grades. The ef- feots are already showing themselves and in Philadelphia and Brooklynloud demands for an investigation from pa- rents have compelied the boards of ed- ucation to thoroughly reorganize the system of graded schools as they now exist in those cities, This fault is not confined to the east. The evil has been a growing one for a number of years and nearly every large city in the country has suffered in consequence. The attempt to build a structure from the top down- wards has never proved successful, least of all in the pnblic school sys- tem. The primary schools are of the highest importance because they are patronized by the greatest number. Two-thirds of the pupils attend- tending our public schools never reach the hivh school. Whatever ed ucation they receive must be acquired in the lower grados, Tt goes without saying that such instruction should be thorough and practical, and to this end the teachers should be something more than mere auto- mators and the course of study ri- gidly adapted to the wants of the greatest number, The Bre is i favor of a graded sys- tem culminating ina high school. But it is. not in filigree od ucation to thoroughly ground our school children in the elementary branches and makes up in useless glitter and glass what it fails to ac- complish in the practical branches of primary education, This great defect in our public school system is the principal cause for the growth and maintenance of private and denomi- national schools Parents complaia, and with justice, that their children are hurried through text books under the guidance of incompetent, because poorly paid, teachers, and ure jumpod to the next grade with a confused and highly unsatisfactory knowledge of the most rudimentary branches. No one who has studied the workings of the system of primary education in various cities in the United States will claim that these complaints are unfounded. favor of a mere which fails VAL'S MAIDEN EFFORT. Nobraska's eminent statesman made his first report, as chairman of the committee on agriculture, last Thurs- day, which is reported by the Con- greasional Record as follows: Mr. Valentine—I desire to present a report from the committee on agri- culture. The Speaker—The chair has been notified by the gentleman from Indi- ana (Mr. Holman) that theregular or- der is now insisted on. Mr. Valentine—I believe I have a grivilogsd report. I am instructed y the committee on agriculture to report the bill which I send to the desk, that it may be read a first and sccond time, and to ask that it be printed and referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union, The Speaker—How does this be- come a privilegbd report] Mr. Valentine -It is an appropri- tion bill The Speaker--The Chair does not understand that is neeessarily a privi- leged report, although certain bills from the appropriations committee are privileged. Mr Valentine--The committee on agriculture has the privilege of re- porting its own appropriations. The Speaker—The Chair under- stands that perfectly well. The Chair direct the clerk to read, as bear- ing on this question, paragraph 47 of rule XT. The clerk read as follows: 47. The following named commit. toes shall have leave to revort at a time on the matters herein stated, viz: The committee on elections, on the right of a member to his seat; the committee on ways and means, on bills ra revenue; the committee on appropriations, the general appro- priation bills; the committee on en- rolled bills, enrolled bills; the com- mittee on printing, all matters refor- red to thewm of printing for the use of the two houses; and the committeo on accounte, on all matters of expendi- ture of the contingent fund of the honse, The Spenker-~The chair does not understand that the roport of an ap- propriation bill from the committee on agriculture, although that commit- tee reports its own appropriations, is privileged under the rule which has Just been read, . Mr. entine ~Theon T ask unan- imous consent to report the bill at this time, There being no objection, the bill (H. R. No. 2706)toappropriate 5,000 for packing, transporting and arrang- ing certain agricultural and mineral specimens, was reported from the committee on agrioulture, read a first and second time, referred to the com- mittee of the whole on the state of the union and ordered to bo printed. Val made his point, but his parlia mentary tactics are sadly out of joiut. e—— hy | CALIFORNIA AND NEBRASKA The constitution adopted by the people of California three years ago contains the following proviso: BECTION 21, Article 12.—No dis- crimination in charges or facilities for transportation shall be made by any railroad or other transportation com- pany between places or persons, or in the facilities for the transportation of the same classes of froighy or passen- gors within this stute, or coming from or going to any other state. Persons aud property trrusported over any railroad, or by any other transporta- tion company or individual, shall be deliy at any station, landing or Ik UMABA DAILY BEE: TUE DAY JANUARY 17 18%2, port at chargzes not exceeding the charges for the transportation of pec. sons and property of the same class, in the same direction, to any more distant station, port or landing. The Doane tub law which has been 80 fiercely assailed by the railway or. gans of this state reads as follows: Be it enacted by tre Leglalatare of the State of Nebraska woriox 1. Every railroad corpo- ration shall give all persons reasona- ble and equal terms, facilities and ac- commodations for che transportation of merchandise or other property of every kind of deecription upon any railroad owned and operated by such corporation within this state, and for terminal handling, the use of the de pot and other buildings and grounds of such corpiration, and at any point where its railroad shall connect with any other railroad reasonable and equal terms and facilities of inter- change, and shall promptly forward merchandise consigned or _directed to be sent over another road, according to the directious contained therein or accompanyiig the same. Sre. 2. No railroad company in the state shall hereafter charge, collect or receive for the transpcrtation of any merchandise or other property upon tho railroad owned or operated by such company within this state, a higher rate than was charged by such company for the same or like seavice on the first day of November, A. D. 1880, as shown by the published rates of such company. And no railroad company shall demand, charge, collect or receive forsuch transportation for for special distances a greater sum than it demands, charges, collects or rec for a greater distance. Skc. 3. No railroad company within this state shall grant or allow to any person, company or association, upon the transportation of freight, either directly or indirectly, any sccret rates, rebates, draw- back, unreasonable allowance for the use of cars, or any undue advan- tage whatever, nor directly to receive from any person or assccciation or corporation, any greater or less sum, compensation or reward than is charged to or reccived from any other person or persons, association or cor- poration for like contemporaneous servico in the receiving, storing and delivering of freights. Src. 4 Any railroad company, or officer or agent of such railroad com- pany, who violates any of the pro- visions of this act, in addition to lia- bility for damages sustained by reason of such violation, shall be luble for such an offense to a pevalty of five hundred doilars, which may be re- covered 1n any county where such cor- poration has property. THE BOB TAIL CAR. The ficudish ingenuity of the man who invented a bob-tail flush has been surpassed by the author of the bob- tail car. They are the most wretched nuisances ever contrived to economize the money of the corporation at the expense of the time, patieace and comfort of the passengers who patron- ize them. Their aiza is to convert every passenger into a servant of the street railway company, and to save the salaries of conductors by forcing each occupant of the car to make his own change, de- posit his own fare and secure the com- pany from loss by embezzlement. No one who has not ridden in a bob-tail on a rainy day can appreciate the horrors of this money making in- vention. The man who sets near the fare box and acts as an automaiic de- positor of the nickels of the other pas- sengers, the lady whose dress is rained by the continual passing to and fro of the people to the front and the unfortunate individuals who hanging to straps and rail in the aisle and jostled'and trodden intojtem- porary insanity, all can speak with a teeling on the subject which is al- most too deep for words. It is & satisfaction to know that in several cities a vigorous crusade has been made against the bob tails by enraged passengers which has resulted in their withdrawal by the companies, There is no law which compels a passenger to act as a servant of & corporation without pay. The courts have decided in three instances that a tender of fare is sufficient, and that deposit in the fare box cannot be enforced. In Chicago and Washing. ton the traveling public hoisted. the standard of ‘“No conductor, no fare,” and forcud the companics to replace conductors to recsive the fares on all lines, and within the past few weeks a crusade of a like nature has been insugurated in Brooklyn, where it is to be hoped that results similar to those in Chicago and Washington will follow, Mu. Por N believes the coun | cil has ample power to levy thespecial tax for paving Tenth street with ma cadam at 8175 por yard. In our opinion macadam on Tenth strect would be dear at ten cents a yard, Macadam pavement would not last twelve months on Tenth street with the present and prospective traflic, Down in Kansas Oity, where they have given macadam a fair test, they pulled up the macadam pavement be. | twoen the depot und the city wher travel and traflic are no heavier than on Tenth street, and repaved with Medina stone blocks six weeks ago, —_— Tugk appearance of small-pox in our city makes it the imperative duty of every citizen who has not yet been vaccinnated to submit at once to this painless and efficacious operation, The prevailing cold weather is in the highest degree favorable to the spread of the disease, and the duty of pre caution should be folt with doubly binding force. All questions raised as to the efficacy of vaceination are foolish and dangerous and every now one who refuses to have it performed is an enemy to the public health. The Chicago board of health has published a circular stating that the belief that one operation insures absolute safety erroneous, and declaring that vaccina- tion should be repeated until tne sys- tem more virus, On this secount the only safety lies in general wherever the small-pox appears in a communlty. With this precaution the disease can- not spread and absolute safety is assured to every person who has sub- mitted to the operation. refuses to receive vaccination It is palpablo evident that poor Garfield was sot upon by a lot of har- pies, who dragged him into a false position, and kept him there, to the injury of the republican party, and to his ownregret and sorrow. It is well known that he could be thus misled by those who had his confidence. It does not reflect upon his purity of of purpose or general qualitics, Tt is consistent with the transparent purity of his character. He was guileless as a child, and could be deceived by those in whom he put confidence. This all knew. And the dispatch published proves that he was misled. - Philadelphia Evening news. This is a sample of thi stuff which the so-called stalwart papers throughout news- country are palmng off as a generous defense of President Garfield. Tt will be in- dignantly repudiated by every friend of the martyred president.

CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY. Some of the Notable Changes in the Volume Which Appeared Monday. The Congressional Directory, edited by Ben Perley Poore, corrected to December 31, and containing a list of the house committees, made its ap- pearance Monday. Some curious facts in relation to the members of the two houses appear to it. Of the seventy- six senators five are of foreign birth, viz: Jones (Fla.), Sewell, (N, J.) and Fair (Nev.) born_in Ireland; Jones (Nev.) in England and Beck (Ky.) in Scotland. Of course either of theso gentlemen, being peers, are eligiblo to the office of president pro tem. of the senate, in the event of the death of the vice president there is a xlueutiun whether they could discharge the duties of president, the constitu- tion requiring that the president shall be a native born citizen. New York and Ohio each send native senators and furmsh six to other states, viz.: From New York, Senators Teller and Hill, Colorado; Conger, Michigan; McPher- son, New Jersey, and Van Wyck Nebraska. From Ohio, McDill ‘an Allison, Towa; Voorhees and Harri- son, Indiana; Plumb, Kansas, and Windom, Minnesota. Kentucky fur- nishes Walker to Arkansas, Call to Florida, Maxey to Texas, Jonas to Louisiana, and Saunders to Nebraska. Vermont is the native state of Kellogg, Louisiana; Sawyer, Wisconsin, aryland gave the two Davises to Illinois and West Virginia; Tennessece, Morgan to Alabama and Garland to Arkansas; Maine gave Grover to Oregon; Massachusetts, In- galls to Kansas; Pennsylvania, Mec- Millan to Minnesota; Virginia, Coke to Texas; North Carolina, Hawley to Connecticut; Sonth Qarolina, Brown to Georgia, which gives in exchange, Lamar and George to Mississippi, and Pugh to Alabama; Illinois, who borrows David Davis from Marylaud, gives Mr. Slater to Oregon; Now Hampshire, Rhde Island and Delaware each enntribute two native senators as their representatives, Qonneeticut, West Virgivia, and Mis- souri each have a single son in thesen- ate. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Towa, Kansas, Nebraska, Califoruia, Oregon, Nevada and Colo- rado are without native representa- tion in the senate. Nativity of Farley! Cal,, is not given. The youngest senators are: Mr. Gorman, i Mr. Miller, 42, Mr, Plumb, 34; and Mr, Hall, 35. The eldest are: Maossrs. Morrill, 71; Lapham, 07; Authony aud Davis, 66; Daaes and Sawyer, 6b; Baulsbury, 64. Conger and Hampton, 63. Some of the elder senators withhold their age from the directory. Mr. Edmunds, who looks like and is recognized as the sage of the senate, will be 64 on the lst of February next. Maine, and South Carolina are the only states that have a full native delegation in congress, and Arkansas, Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesc ta, Kavsas, Nabraska, Oregon, Nevada and Col- orado haye neither a representative born in the state. Of the representa- | tives, the birthplace of 22 is not given land 15 are of foreign birth. The | contrast between nativity and legisla- tive representation is somewhat sin- gular. New England, with a representation of 28, has 47 of Delaware | } her sons in the house. New York has 33 representatives and 36 members born in that state; Pennsyl- vania, 27 and 23; Ohio, 20 and 27; while Illinois, having 19 representa- tives, has but two sons in the house, Michigan and Towa have but one each out of nine representatives, Of the 266 American-born whose place of birth is given, 163 are of Northern birth, one from the Pacific coast and but 42 born in the South POLITICAL NOTES. * Mr. Felton seems to be boxing with hard gloves.” - [ Ben, Hill Congressman_ Orth has bec leade: of the dissati-fied re, ul the house of representatives, Frye is to be the leader of the adminis. tration forces in Maine in case of the ‘“‘ap- pearance of any antagonistic faction in that section,” which may mean Blaine.
