The' average weight of the senators is one hundred and ninety-eight pounds, and the heaviest senator tips the beam at two hundred and fifty. The average weight of the representatives is one hundred and seventy pounds. No wonder Towans look for heavy-weight legislation. WHo has been telling tales out of school? The Philadelphia Press says that Omaha has a bad detective force, like Philadelphia; only in Omaha the rogues who wear detective badges are fighting it out among themselves and the mayor is spared either the trouble of causing an investigation or the re- proach of avoiding one. S— Omana cannot afford to shut her eyes to the experience of other cities in paving. Every experiment has proved that macadam and wood block pavements are far more vxpen sive in the longrun than pavements of durable materials. Beven years is the average life of a wooden block pavement, atter which time it must be replaced at an expense fully equal to the original cost. mpee— Monzy ought to be very easy dur- ing the présent month. The govern- ment will disburse $32,500,000 on ac- count of pensions, bond redemption, and interest on the public debt. About five mullions of the the forego- ing sum will be disbursed from the New York sub-treasury. In addition to the government payments, an aggre- gate of $15,000,000 will find ita way to the public in the shape of interest and dividends from bsnks and other cor- porate institutions. ep— Antins who believe that in these days of consolidations and poolings such a thing as competition in rai roading or telegraphing is possible, will be interested in the fact that the wires ' of the Mutual Union telegraph com- pany have been extended as far as Kansas Oity, and construction work is now being pushed wostward, The route to Ban Francisco will be from Kansas Oity to Denver direct, thence vis the Denver & Rio Graude railroad to Balt Lake, thence vla Ogden and Virginia Oity to San Francisco. If there be no failure in present arrange- ments, the line will be completed through during the present year, IS THE AGE DEGENERATE! A writer in one of our leading mag- azines bemoans the degeneracy of the present age when compared with the early days of the republic. Politi- cally, socially and morally, if we are to believe this latter day Jeremiah, our people are worse than their pre- decessors and the tendencies of the times give no encouragement for a future which will be more promising than the present. A comparison 18 drawn between the character of the national legislature and that of the assemblies of former years and the question is asked ‘‘Where are our Wabsters and Sumners and our Sew- ards, our Clays and Calhouns and Bentons?” The same line of enquiry is carriod out in the social and moral world and what is termed the ‘“‘stern simplicity” of the Puritans is contrast- ed with the “luxuriou cense” of their descendants, The writer referred to furvishes a very apt illustration of the tendency of a certain class in every mmunity to groan over the degeneracy of the age in which they live and to sigh for the ‘“‘good old days of the past.” Such persons have existed since crea- tion and will probably last until the Millenium puts an end to their croak- ing. We do not believe that the peo- ple of to-day are possessed of less ability or intelligence or are worse politically or morally than their pre- decessors, The world knows more about itself and about the people who live in it than it used to. A thousand ciroumstances combine to impress mankind with a vivid sense of the follies of humanity and of the evils which prevail. The press, with its myriad eyes sear-hes every nook and the world during every twenty-four hours. We are daily brought face to face with humanity at its worst and ita best. The proceedings ot parliaments, the speeches and squabbles of legislators and statesmen, the pretenses of dema- gogues, the rascality of knaves and criminals, are made known to us with impartial fidelity. Fifty years ago limited fdcilities for learning of cur- rent events concealed them from the tsnerfl view, and only great crimes and scandals escuped the seclusion of the localities where they were pro- duced. The proceedings of congress were not’ telegraphed daily in detail to a thousand papers, and though the debates were as bitter and boisterous, and the speeches as long-winded and empty as any of the present day, knowledge of them, so far as the out- side world was concerned, expired with their echoes in the senate chamber and hull of the house of representatives. In the days of *Webster and Olay and Calhoun and Douglas croakers pointed to the palmy times when Hamilton and Jefferson and Adams were heard on the floors of congress, and doubt- less as far back as the beginning of the century the times were denounced a8 degenerate as compared with the days of the old Confinental congress, when Franklin and Hancock and Witherspoon debated on the preroga- tives of bis majesty, George the Third. 1% is safe to say that politi- cians in the past were as unscrupu- lous as those of the present. There were fewer offices of public trust then and consequently fower opportunities for public plunder and it was easier ‘to conceal official dishonesty. To-day every m: o in public position is the center to which a thousand newspaper mi- croscopes are directed, quick to detect and eager to herald every defect. Our public men are as brainy and as able of those of the last generation, Their increasing numbers is responsi- ble for the fact that two or three do not stand out alone as representatives of all the excellences of public orators agaiust the backgrounds of respectable medioority, Twenty years hence we shall hear the inevitable croaker com- plaining that we have no more Blainoa or Edmunds or Shermans or Bayards or Stephens or Lamars, and tho next generation will just as certainly la- ment its political deveneracy. The same holds true of our intelleo- tual and moral condition, People on the whole are much better in the present age than ever before. The standard of excellence in every line of intellectual activity has increased with inoreasing knowledge. The general state of society will compare favorably with what it has been, If the vices of society seem greater it is because society is much larger and knowledge of its condition much more widely diffused. But we must pot forget that if increasing wealth has brought an increasosof vice it has also brought a more liberal knowledge, a better system of education, a more thorough acquaintance with and practice of sanitary laws and a great development of the resources of the world, all tend- ing to a bettering of the social and moral condition of our people. The “tgood old times” doubtless seem bet- ter to us than they did to our ances- tors who lived in them. e—— Texwessee bonds have fallen fifty per cent, since the repudiation of a portion of the state debt. This means that it will cost the state twice as much to borrow money to-day as it did two months ago. ARMY RETIREMENT PROMOTION, The bill for the compulsory retire- ment of all officers of the atmy who have reached the age of 62 years or who have served forty years, stills hangs fire with the immediate pros- pect of going oft. In the meantime tho honse committee on military af- fairs have decided to favorably report the Maginnis bill increasing the pay of officers below the rank of major who have served for fifteen years in one grade. This measure while just is entirely inadequate to deal with the state of affairs now existing in the army which, unless some remedy i furnished, will continue to do grave injustice to the younger officers, and greatly impair the efficiency of the service, One of the strongest objections to the retirement bill is that pay on the retired list is small as compared with that on the active list. The highest rank that most of the officers in the service can hope to obtain after forty years of active duty is that of colonel and a large portion will be in even lower grades. The syatem of retire- ment ought to be generous to the officers retired. 1In the navy, where there is a compulsory retirement sys- tem, promotions are much more rapid than in the army, and officers, after passing through all grades, retire on the rank and pay of rear admiral. In the army there are now five major gener- als on the retired list, while the navy retired list has forty-three rear ad- mirals. There have been only three promotions since the close of the war to the rank of major general, while there have been forty-five promotions to the rank of rear admiral. When it is conmdered that there are now near- ly one hundred first licutenanta in the army who have served over twenty years, more than fourteen of which have been in their present grade, it can readily be seen how absolute the stagnation is and how great is the need of some remedy to start the ball of promotion by lopping off some of the aged branches at the top of the service. Promotion, or the hope of promo- tion, in the army, as elsewhere, is a strong incentive to action and efficien- cy. It is a gross wrong on the part of the government to take away this spur to an honorable ambition, espe- cially when it is offered to anether branch of the service no more arduous or important. Tae Chicago Times says that the immediate effect of retiring all officers at the age of 62 would be to create two vacancies in the list of generals: General Sherman was 62 last month and General McDowell was 63 last fill. As the law now stands, the re- tirement of General Sherman would not open the way to any promotions, as the rank of general terminates with the service of the present incum- bent. It is believed by many, how. ever, that the desire to do some- thing for two such distinguished and popular officers as Generals Sheridan and Hancock would induce congress to renew the rank of general. " In that case Lieptenant General Sheridan would succeed him and Major General Hancock would be promoted to te lieutenant general, and there would be two vacant major generalships to be filled. The senior major general would then be Schofield, who was 50 last fall, and, as General Sheridan has eleven years yet between him and the fatal 62, there would be no more pro- motions at the head of the list for some time, in all probability. The two brigadier generals who would suc- ceed Hancock and McDowell would be Pope ‘and Howard, if the promotions should be made in regular order. Gen- eral Pope, however, would have but lit- tle time to serve, as he will be 69 in a fow days. General Howard is only b1. Two colonels would be promoted to succeed Generals Pope and Howard, and three colonels would be retired at once, making room for the promotion of tive lieutenant colonels. The three who would be retired are Getty, Bran- nan, and Hunt, of the 3d, 4th and Gth urtillery respectively, each of whom was 62 last year. Besides Col. Gotty, there are eight ocolonels whose comwissions date from July 28, 1866, These are Edward Hatch and Grier- son, of the cavalry, and Gibbon, Wil- cox, Stanley, Ruger, Peunypacker and 0. H. Smith, of the infantry. Col, Wilcox is 59, Col, Gibbon 56, Col. Stanley 64, Col. Ruger 49, and Col. Grieason 46, Gibbon and Wilcox have each served thirty-five years in the army, If ey should succeed the two promoted briga- dier enerals, (gononl Wilcox would have to retire in April, 1885, and General Gibbon could serwe till 1888, Among the other officers, Colonels J. H. Potter, of the 24th infantry; J. P, Hatch, of the 2d cavalry, and B. 1. Star.is, of the Tth cavalry, wou' i hLave tau years more to serve. Culunels Nall, of the 8th cavalry, and Ayres, of the 2d artillery, would have five years more of service before them, and Colonel Andrews, of the 25th infantry, seven years; Colonels Grover and Brackett, of the 1st and 3d cavalry, nine years- Colonel Carr, of the 6ih cavalry, ten years. Colonel Merritt, of ‘the 6th cavalry, is muck younger than these, and would have sixteen years of ser- vice remaining to him. Oagy Benunz is out in The Evening Post favoring Bargent's appointment 90 the Berln mission. He claims that Mr, Sargent will make a capable and eflicient winister, 1 Alnl- Ir is considered very doubtful at Washington whether any measure will be passed by congress at the pres- ent sersion looking to national railway regulation, The lobby is unusually strong and amply provided with means and members are about as easily in- fluenced as ever by monopely money. Still the hundreds of thousands of names signed to petitions praying for relief from railway oppressions may make it necessary for the natisnal law makers to hide themselves behind some law lLike Mr. Adams railway commission bill which will be entirely worthless as a remedy for the abuses and evils which hang like barnacles on our railway system, but at the same time will be apparently a concession to the popular demand. The Chicago Tribune thinks that the railroads are wasting a good deal of effort and their attorneys are strain- ing their ingenuity needlessly, in the movement to defoat national legisla- tion for the regulation of railroad common carriers. There is good rea aon to believe that congress will a itself of the thinnest pretext for avoid- ing its responsibility to the people in this matter. The best evidence of this disposition is to be found in the utter neglect of the outrageous extor- tion which has been practiced for years by the Pacific railroads, which were built with public money and are operated under the immediate authority of congress. The acts of congress chartering these companies expressly reserve the right to alter, amend, or repeal, and r.lue the right of congress to regu- te tolls and fares beyond all di pute; yet a persistent and defiant tem of extortion has been maintained without so much as a protest on the part of congress- The government furnished the money and lands to construct the roads, and the stock does net represent the inveetment of scarcely a dollar. The ypeople have, consequently, the highest claim to protection. Yet these Pacific rail- roads have maintained passenger rates at the exorbitant figure of fiveto eight cents a mile, and made freight retes 80 high that it has been found cheaper to ship goods from the west lg way of New York and around Cape orn and thus into the interior of Calfornia and Nevada than to submit to the practical confiscation by the trans-continental railroads® Never- theless, congress, with full authority to act, has never interferred to pro- tect trom this robbery the people who furnished the money to build the roads. Looking at the railroad ques- tion from this point of view, it must be admitted that there is small pros- pect for congressional regulation of railroads which were not constructed with public funds. THE decrease in the public debt for Fobruary amounted to $9,783,611, which, with the preceding eleven months, makes a total reduction for the year of $37,227,043, ] THE HARVEST OF CBIMINALS, Red-Handed Villains of Hvery Grade Gathered at the Capitol. A BScore of Bcoundrels Houses, in Safe LivcowN, Neb., March 2.—Lincoln is now establishing a very fair repu- tation as a place for crime and a re- sort for criminals, The sbheviff informs your correspondent that crime of all kinds is increasing very rapidly. The offenses are the grossest known to the law, as well as the most trivial. At present there are twenty prisoners confined in the county jail, each of whom has killed his man. - Quin Bo- havan, of whom so much has been swd in the papers, is confined for the murder of Cook at Waverly, and the jury has just found a tius bill against him charging murder in the first degree. There seems now to be little doubt but that he is a bad citizen, who is wanted in various places for depreda- tious committed, and it is suspicioned that he was connected with train rob. beries of the most atrocious character. There ié something of an effort being made to create sympathy in his favor, but there is a strong sentiment that he should hang, Dill, who is now confined in jail, shot and killed a cow-boy at Culbert- son, Neb., in a saloon near the last of December. He was brought here for safe kecping, as companions of the cow-boy threatened to lynch him. He will be tried the next term of court in the county where the crime was com- mitted. He will probably enter the plea of self-defense. September 16th, 1881, a very delib- erate murder was committed by Alvin J. McGuire, Mrs. Broadwell was the mistress of a nefarious place on the bottoms. Her place was frequented by one Ezekial Van Auken. At one time he called in a state of intoxica- tion and destroyed some furniture; for this he was arrested. The woman then joined herself to one Alvin J, Mec(tuire, in the bonds of matrimony. McGuire procured a pistol and when V.in Auken came to the brothel shot [ununty'- wards are in for petty offences.

They can acc mplish it, however, only by the aid of dissatisfied republican memberd.

James Wilsleon In Tows Register, Mr. George Cowan, a Scotch farm er, '&I.Qifiel before the Parliamentary commission to many facts of interest to Towa farmers, glean from The Galloway Gazette. He says the aver- age rents per acre in the southwest of Scotland are $6. They keep half their land in grass and pasture, it rarely taking & crop of hay, using straw for fodder. One-third ot the land in crop, being one-sixth of the farm, is manured every year. Six used to eke out the barn yard manure. It is a dairy district; they make Ched der chieese. The cheese from a cow brings 857. The whey from three cows feeds one swine. The cows go f om 8 to 10 weeke dry. Two acres are required to pasture a cow. Five per cent. of the cows have to be renewed from old age and other causes. Ayrshire cows are used alto- gether. Seven thousand five hun- dred dollars are required as capital on n 200 acre farm. He believes wheat growing with profit not possible ow- ing to American competition and thinks American meats, live and dead will increase very greatly He thinks cheese making the safest department of farming, as the climate is more fa- vorable to cheese making than the American climate, yet admits that we seril some brands of cheese about equal to their best. They pay a cot- man, who boards himself, the equiv- lent of $200 a year. Single men board- ed by the farmer get $100 to $120 a year. The farmer pays b to 6 per cent. for the use of money from the banks. ~ He thinks if our railways do not keep rates too high that they may look for Jower scales of prices regard- ing all our exports in abundant years. here are many suggestive things in the testimony of this farmer. They get help for one half of what the Iowa farmer pays, and the use of money for fifty per cent. less. The high yield from their cows is one of the cauges of their ability to pay such rents. After many decades of good farming it takes two acres to graze a cow. Our land as well managed would keep a cow on an acre. They buy our maize to finish oft their pigs, which will cease when our farmers refuse to raise it for that purpose. They can- not pay rents at all comparable to the present when we make as good cheese as they do—as we undoubtedly will very soon. Heavy immigration is raising wages there, and increase of population will bring ours’ nearer theirs. Money is accumulating here whieh will give us as cheap capital when we want it as they have. §7,- 500 to stock a 200 acre farm shows us that we are understocked for want of plenty of means. They do not feed maize to their milch cows, they feed turnips and oats. Our dairymen will learn in time that we feed now too much corn to cows for their good as breeders or for the highest profit in milk. They make close calculatfons over there. Mr. Cowan thinks if they do their best and we do our best in cheese making, their climate will enab’e them to sell in their ownmark- Een ”‘HUUS E A B I LOTS For Sale By BEMIS, FIFTEENTH AND DOUGLAS ST8., 178, Honse 8 rooms, full lot on.Pierce mear 20th street, $1,660. 177, House & rooms, full lot on Douglas near 26th street, $700, 176, Beattital rosidence, full 1ot on Cass near 10th atreet, §12,000, 174, Two hovises and } lot on Dodee nesr 9th stroet, §1 600, 176, House three rooms, two closets, ¢ ¢., halt 1ot on 218t - ear Grace stroet, $800, 172, One and one-hulf story brick house an tw lots on Douglas near 2&th street, 81,70, 171, House two rooms, well cistern, stable, eie full 16t near Pi: roe and 184 t, $950, 179, One and one-half story house six reoms half lot on Convent stroet near Bt nue, §1,8%0. , House 1hree rooms on Clicton street near shot tower, §326.
