RrsoLUTION after resolution passes the city council, but nctual paving operations seem as far off as ovor. WeakeNiNG speculation in food and stiffening prices in railroad stocks are suro indications of a lively fall trade, Savs the Springfield Republican: “Ligt no man bo deceived by the vain show of political platforms, The way to get reform is to elect congrossmen who will insist upon having it."” Urox returning to his district Val. remarked that it had grown so much while he was away that he really didn’t know it. It is exceedingly hikely that his constituents will afford him ample time and leisure to become acquainted with it. Tk 86 clerk who is drawing his pay regularly for the benefit of the farmers has an explanation for every act that his good provider has been guilty of. Heo will presently explain 5 the peoplo of the state why Valen- tine drew $1,870 for services which he never rendered aud which another IN THE THIRD DISTRICT. The organs which a few weeks ago were loudly boasting that E. K. Val- entine would be nominated by accla- mation are drawing in theit horns and whistling loudly to keep up their 00 | courage as they enter the woods of an actual campaign. Their brazen brag- gadocio of “‘walk-aways” and ‘‘re. nomination without a struggle” are only intended to deceive timid poli- ticians in the Third district and whip them into line through fear of being left on the losing side. This style of argument will deceive no one who watches the progress of the campaign, which so far has been a very lively and disappointing one for Val. Fig- nres never lie if made up correctly, but a doctored table like the one pub- lished in yestorday’s Kepublican is a lie on its face, which only needs to bo examined to provo its falsity. Knox county, which which was fairly carried against Valentine is placed in the list of countiea which ‘1t is rea- nonable to suppose will declare for Valentine,” and by figuring in a large number of others in which ho has only a “fighting chance,” a total of 81 votes is figured out for Val, “Brag in a good dog but hold fast is & better one.” The Republican has won a good many campatgns on paper which fail- od to connect in the conyention and atb tho polla, It elected Hitcheock on the first ballot before the legislature mot. It gave Paddock u “walk away" at the last senatorial election and os- sured its readers of the cortainty of Hascall's clection as mayor of Omaha tho day beforo he was buried uider 1,900 majority at the polls, When the Republican makes a political proph- ecy it is always safe to bet on the oth- er side, Ir begins to look as if tho compli- ments paid to General Crook in trane- forring him to the sceno of aciual hostilities in "tho department of Ari- zona might be recalled with cquai re- gard to his abilitiea as tho best Tudian fighter of the army. The news from Pine Ridge Agency that the Sioux openly announce au outbreak in sixty days unless their grievances are righted and Agent McGillicuddy removed, is of the most serious nature. There are seven thousand Sioux at Pine Ridge and an equal number at the Rosebud Agency, both of which could man was paid for performing. See Laws of Nebreska, 1879, pp. 448, 449, . Berore Valentine left Washington ‘he made application that the salary of his clerk should be continued at the usual rate of $6 a day during the va- oation of congress, as the agricultural -committeo had need of his mervices. Mr. Valentine's clerk is valiantly earning his salary by working on be- half of the agrioultural community for his master's re-election. In other words'the farmers of Nebraska and the United States are paying $6 a day from the public treasury for aiding Valentine's congressional campaign,on the pretense of furthering the public business, Evenyrnine i Washington from the newspaper to the hotel, down to the barber shop and gin mill is dub- bed “‘national.” The Plattsmouth Her- ald quotes from an chscure concern oalled the National Furmer, publish- od at Washington by some horny- handed lawyers, to prove,that the ef- orts of our Val. on behalf the Ameri- «can farmer are highly cemmendable, ‘There are a good many more farmerg liable to read the item quoted in the Plattamouth Herald than have seen it in the National Farmer. One swallow does not always make summer. Onuren Howk wil presently be If the primaries i No- maha county go sgainst him io-day, & dispatch will appear in the next is sue of the Republican worded about as follows: Hon. Churoh Howe has met with another fearful accident, ‘While driving his team across Salt creek his horses became frightened and he tumbled down an embankment several hundred feet upon the rocks, sustaining very serious injuries, He is now laying at his home in a very eritical condition, Within three days the Hon. Church Howe will appear in the streets of Omaha leaning on s oane, but in a very fair way of recov- ery Ix the last national campaign year Nebraska gavs the groenbacker's can- didate for the presidency 3,853 votes out of a total of 87,350 votes cast for put a force of bucks in the field which would make an Indian war of large proportions. . Northern Nebraska with her rapidly settling frontier counties will be exposed in such an event and it is of the highest importa ce that prompt measures should be taken to nip in the bud the first symptoms of ference as to the size of the pension or the amount of back pay, the raid on the treasury was fraud, whether $400 or $3,000 was dishonestly cb- tained. STEAM HEATI GIN CITIES. Heating private houses and furnish- ing motive power for business houses and manufactories by means of steam conveyed from a central station through pipes, has been sucsessfully attempted in New York and will soon be extended through the lower portion of the city. Three years ago when the prospect of laying pipes in the strects for the pur- poso of supplying power and heat was firat seriously discussed, the plan was generally denounced as impracti- catlo and dangerous To-day two eompanies are busily engaged in lay- ing mains, aud the work has been sat- isfactorily tested by a number of es- tablishments which are supplied from the central station. In one large restan- rant steam hag been used since April 20¢h, and is always ready in any quantity though carried somo block under ground. It works the elevators, ventilating fans, and electric light machines and does three-fourths of the cooking at an expense much less than steam made on the premises with the manifest advantages of there being no heat from boilers and fur. naces all summer, no coal to handle and no dust from furnaces, The Un- ited States electric light company have been using 800 horse power from tho steam heating company for running their dynamon, soveral large printing houses purchase power for their presecs and a score of large pub- lie buildings are supplied with heat at aless expenso than they could make it themselves. Thesystem Is likely to spread tonther cities and prove of as great couvenience ae gas or the electric light. When our houses can be lighted by simply preseing a button counected with an electric storage reservoir, and heated and eur food cooked by merely turp- ing on astop cock connected with a ateam heating main, much of the in- conveniences of housekeeping will be dono sway with, The probability of public steam service will add another disturbing element to our streets when the long wished for paving is an ac- complished fact, and when the day comes that telegraph and telephone companies will be compelled to lay their wires under ground, our pave- ments will be laid over a network of mains, each of which will represent work done by the wholesale at some central point with & view of saving in- disturbance. For this purpose no man is 8o available as George Crook whose valuable experience in dealing with the Sioux has been s0 servioe- able to our people in preserving peace on our border for the last six years, No general has so thoroughly won the respect of the Indians. The request of fifty-two of the chiefs at Pine Ridge that he be eent te investigate their grievances against the agent is the strongest possible proof of his re- markable power as an Indian pacifier. Arizona is well generalled at present, and Nebraska will not willingly give up atthe most critical moment the man who has won for himself a well ocarned roputation for successful cam- paiguing against tho Indiaus. Ir is going to take something more than bluster and baby kissing to win the day and candidates may just as well make a note of it, sooner or later. Tk caso of Rush vs., Valontine was taken to the supreme court and deci den against Rush. We thought that we had heard the last of that cam- paign foolishness; but it seems that the dead devils are to be brought for- ward to do service during this cam- paign. Mr., Valeutine's brother in this city gets & penaton of §2 per month for disability .proven. Hv never stood the examination for life iusurance, has uo life insurance, and could not atand an examination if he tried it The back pension which he received was loss than $400.— Republican, The supremv court of Nubraska did not decide the case of Rush vs, Valer - tine against Rush, Tho judges passed 1o opinion upon the facts iu the case Tho question waother E. K Valen- tine robbed & homoesieader of his property was not decided, The court simply gave their opinion that our stato courts had no jurisdiotion over the case, and that it ou:ht to have been brought before the United States general land office for adjudica- tion, Of course Valentine, who was presidential electors, In what is now the Third congressional district of Ne- braska, Woaver received 523 votes and Allen Root for congressman 675 votes, out of a total of 26,185 votes. With such a showing it would seem that no sane mau would attempt to nominate & greenback ticket in Nebraska in 1882, but we notice that Mr. Pace, of Lincoln, who calls himself chair- man of the state greenback committee has issued a call for a greenbackers convention to uominate & state groenback ticket. Now,,who will take part in that farce? Are there fifty men in Nebraska silly enough to attempt an organized state esmpaign with less than four thous. and greenback votes out of fully one hundred thousand that will be cast next Novemberi Why should the ghost of & dead issue sud a defunct party forever thrust itself into the political arenal rogistrar of the land office, forestalled action there by false statements Judge Savage, in his opinion upon the merits of the case, most em- phatically said that it was a swindle. If the damning proofs of Valentine's bold and barefaced rob- beries as registrar of the West Point lard offico had ever been passed upon in any Nebraska court we should hear less of his candidacy for congress in a dustrict where a score of his plun. dered vietims are now living, Val's clerk eays the pensioned broth- er only drew 8400 back pay, but the peneioned postal clerk boasted that he received §3,000, It is o fact that B K. Valentive's brother, ‘‘Muggins,” a broad-shouldered, strapping me- chanio, secured & pension upon a bo- gus claim of cisability, and afterwards joined & mutusl insurance benevolent. society which admits only men sound in body snd mind, It makes no dif- dividual labor and inconvenience. Tre Republican accuses THE Bzk ot being a free trade organ. This paper is not in favor of free trade, because it belioves it impracticable, It ob- jects, however, strongly to the tanff because it is a string of monopoly in- torests tied together by bargaining selfishness. We are in favor of a sim- plified tarff which is not merely a system of grabs and neither for revonue nor protection. Wae advocate such an adjustment of internal taxa- vion as will not discriminate agatnst the majority of the producing classcs, to enrich @ fow nabobs and corpora- tions, We beliove in the theory that infant industries ought to be protect- ed, but we caunot fail to notice that thelonger manufacturers are subsidized through tariff protection, the more exacting and rampant they are for further protection, It believes that the so-0alled ‘‘high wages” which un due protection’is supposed to stimu- late, are a delusion and u snare, when the cost of living, induced by exor- bitant national taxation decrease the purchasing power of a dollars from twenty to fiity per cent. what it would bo wore that artificial stimulant re- moved, Finally, Tug Bek is in favor of a tariff which shall b drawn in the interest of the majority of the peo- ple, and not patehed together by the power of the lobby to increase the enormous profita of the pampered millioneires. Ia conclusion we want a tarifl based upon the wants of the country to build up and sustain Amer- ican industry, but not a tariff bused on the groed of close corporation to build and maintain American mo- nopoly. Cable Rates to -ome Down, 81 Louis Globe L emicrat. 1n 1t clusiug hours congress char- tored an Atlsutic cablo company which, it it *‘means business,” will «flactually brosk up the existing cow. vioation,” Fifty cents a wordis now charged by the associated lines. The new aoct expressly provides thet by the uew line ‘‘the rates charged for me sages for individuals shall not exceed 20 cents for each word;” reserves to congress the right to amend the char- ter, or to fix rats by a general law; and declares that if the new corpora- tion waters its stock, or enters into union with any other gable company, or with a combination to establisn rates, or sells out to another company, ita rights shall be ipso facto forfeited Che act is rather loosely drawn, and sharp lawyers may find some way to oscupe its provisions and penaltics — thoy are morally certain to try to do 80 but the purpose of congress is plain enough, the restrictive clauses were adopted unanimously in both brauches, aud the company is likely to be brought up with a round turn if it undertukes any sharp practice. . The experience of congress in deal- ing with cable companies has been anything but satisfactory, It granted great privileges to the last concern that was organized, and left no loop- hole, as it sup) for amalgama- tion. But no limit of rates was fixed, The consequence was, that after a brief period of oumgetizinn. during which 25 cents a word was charged, the man- agors of the rival lines got together and quickly agreed to double up their exactions. A good deal of unnecessa- ry fuss has been madeabout this com- bination, because, after all, whether cable service coats little or much does not concern the mass of the people. Those who use the eable dailyof curse grumble at the imposition of high rates after low rates have prevailed, but they are, as a rule, quite able to pay all that is ever demanded. The cable business is limited, and general- ly merchants and others who have oc- casion to communicate with Europe by telegraph fully recoup themselves on the public. It is doubtful whether the incor- porators of the new concern, at whose head. is 8. L. M. Barlow, of New York, are exactly pleased with the shape in which their act went through. The limitation of charges to 20 cents a word or lss was icorporated in the bill after it had been reported to the sonate, chicfly through the efforts of Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, In the house a New York - member, after pointing out that the present rate 1s B0 cents, observed that it struck him as “yory singular that a body of men can desire to be incorporated into a cable compsny and guarantee that they will not charge over 20 cente per word.” Thero is no evidence that the incorporators do desire to give that guars The highest desire of cable compauies, of late, seems to have been to get their charters under false pi sen, and then sell out to e existing corporations or combine with them to keep up rates, The 20-cent limitation fixed not at the desire of the petitioners, but at the desire of Senator Wyck, Hale, and two or three others, 1tis probable, however, that Mr. Barlow’s company can go abead, | its cable, and mako money ac 20 cents por word, The old oompanics reap enormous profits. They tax the pun- lic for dividends on millions upon mil- lions of watered stock. A mnew line hich has to earn only fair returns on actual cost can make money with very much lower charges than are levied by the dropsical extortionists who now monopolize the business. The most important thing about the granting of this charter is the intima- ticn which it affords that the wide- spread popular dissatisfaction with stock-watering, combinations to raise rates and unjust discriminations, is coming to find echo in congress. The tendency among railroad owner and telegraph managers, whether on land or water, is to forget that they have received privileges from the public, and in return have positive and unmustakable duties to the public to perform, Mr, Van Wyck pointed out that, in the face of all the talk about competition as the t regularion of land telegraph lines, '‘Every organization of a new com pany is absorbed by the old one, and the public suffers by the watering of the stock ¢nd the increased rate of charg-s.” Mr. Hale alluded to the fact that, in the case of cable com panies, ‘‘competition rune for awhile, but amalgamation is the end of com- petition.” This sort of talk is com- mon, both in congress and cut, and it ought to warn not a few corporations that their disregard of their public duties promotes the increase of the communistic spirit which disregards their privas h o Hon, M.

The situation ‘'was ripe for Mr. Tur- ner’s candidacy, and at the urgent solicitation of his friends he entered the contest, There is little ccrasion for eulogy on our part. Mr. Turner's long residence in Nebraska, his prom- inence as ecditor of a leading re- publican paper, and his record as 8 member of the state senate form a betéer history of his character than could be couveyed in words, He is eminently a man of the people— plain, practioal and sonsible.

Speelnl Correspondence of Tin B, Sourn Ausew, Neb., August 17 & A large and enthusiastic weeting was held at Samuelson’s hall last Saturday evening to consider the matter of re- moving the county seat from Brown- ville to Auburn. While the majority of those present were in favor of pro- ceeding with tho matter at once, it was decided after considerable discus- sion to delay actton until after the fall elections. D. J. Wood, the poet lariat of Sonth Auburn, is enjoyiog o wrestlo with the ague.

Reuben Holmes has bought a neat cottage on Maxwell street and become a permanent resideut of the city. The new bark to be established in South Auburn by John L. Carson is now ready for business, the furni ture, with the exception of the safe, having arrived and been put in place. This will be a substantial aid to our boom. Joe Croan is building a new resi dence on Maxwell street, which, when completed, will be one of the prettiest homes in town. Joe is a good boy and works hard, and ought to prosper. Arthur C, Davenport, a right clover young fellow representing Tae Bek, was in the city last Monday. Work is progressing rapidly upon the new hotel at North Auburn. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy before the advent of cold weather. Politics is the staple topic of con- versation in this county just now.

Viczor, A MISSOURI TOWN. Pen Sketch of Stanberry, the Metrop- olis of Gentry County. Correspondence of THE BEE. STANBERRY, Mo., August 17.—The thriving city of Stanberry is situated in Gentry county, Mo., 117 miles southeast of Council Bluffs, on the line of the W., St. L. & P. Ry, and is the division town between Council Bluffs and Brunswick, Mo. It is very pleasantly located, and ome could hardly believe that less than three years ago such a place as Stanberry was unchought of. The population now numbers at least 2,600, and every branch of business is well represented. There are a number of ftice business buildings and residences which the citizens feel justly proud of. Among them are the Wabash hotel, situated near the passenger depot, its pleasant surroundings making it a favorite with the trayeling public; the normal echool, an elegant four-story brick building, which was complated last fall at a cost of $14,000; Arm- strong & McLean's haudsoms stoue and brick bank building; A, L. Tom- blin’s bank building, aud a number of other substantiul business houses which were built with the fact in view that Stanberry is destined to become quite acity. There are threo neat church buildings; Baptist, Methodist and Catholic, all of which have a large number of members., A first class flouring mill was completed a short time ago and is owned and operated by the firm of Wales & Hawkins; value, $10,000. A covtract was let sowe time ago for a §12,000 public school building, which will be erect- near the normal. Work has already commenced and it is the intention to have it finished for sohool this coming season. There are also soventeen other business houses and residences in course of erection, . The railroad shops, round house, ete., are located just south of the town and present a very business like appearance, giving work to a large number of mechanics, laborers, ete., which brings in hundreds of dollars monthly. Stanberry has two weekly news- papers. The News (republican,) and pentinel (democratic,) both excellent ors. A cornet band was organized some time ago aud the boys have arranged for & “*nop” next Wednesday eve, and proceeds to go toward buying some new instruments. The normal school closed on the 3d inat., and the surroundings of that place are more quiet thau usual. The prohibition movement has been started here, and a few days since two ladies were canvassing the town with a petition against the saloons, though this will doubsless prove a failure, S:anbury being too much of a railroad (,mrc in this vicinity are doing ex- tremoly well, 8o much better than was expected during the wet weather last spring, and 1 have heard & num- ber of farmers say that it is one of the best crops they have had in the ‘s ten years. Yours respectfully, “F.M.F.” — COLFAX COUNTY NEWS, Corresponaence of T Brr. ScHuyLER, August 17.—Our farm- era have all reasons to be satisfied with the year's harvest. Oats, barley and flax have been abundant, and wheat turned out better than it has been for many years, Corn looks splendidly, and, if nothing happens, will yield an Laverago of fifty or sixty bushels, Bunsiness is good, and the prospects for a No, 1 fall trade were never better. Thero is quite a building boom go- ing on in this town, and before a year has passed Schuyler will present a very handsomo appesranco to her numor- ous visitora, he weather is hot and dry, The political horizon is heavily clouded, and there ara indications that a storm is browirg, Would-be candidates for congress are visiting our burgh, renewing old acquaintances oand trying to make new ones. Tae local wiro-pullers are hard at work to shape things in their favor for the re- publican county convention, Saturday, August 2 We have a set of public spirited men in this town who are al- ways rasdy to serve their country in some shapo or another. One of them; R. C. Russel, one of those numerous heroes who fought, bled and ran for their country, has an eye fcr a seat in the legialature. He brings the neces- are qualifications for this high of He 13 a “‘stalwart of tho sta:warts,” an active officer of the G. A.

The intelligent independent republican voters, however, will have sowmethiug to say and take him down a “‘pog or two,” as thoy did last fall, when, ran- || ning for county judgs, he was de- feated, although the republicans mus- ter a majority of over one hundred in this county.
