Tur war on China is brewing, but there is no sign of a reduction in crock- ery. Bustxess failures are on the decrease. The impression that the country has an impending panic concealed somewhere about its person is rapidly diminishing. T Mg, ViLuarD was boomed along the Northean Pacific, and the foreign visi- tors were also enthusiastically received but Gen. Grant after all had the most en- thusinstic reception. PresipENT ArTRUR has returned, but the clerks who have been running the government during his absence, will take it as easy as over. It takes very liftlo energy to govern the country during the dog days and a congressional adjourn- ment. —~—r————— Tue Virginia readjusters who have or- ganized a political party with repudiation as tho loading plank and officeholding as the final end have received a black eye in the decision of Judge Bond, of the United States circuit court, which effect- ually disposes of the recent rendjuster legislation in regard to the coupons for the state bonds. The legislature of Vir- ginia had passed o law declaring these coupons, when presented to the tax cel- lectors, legal tenders for all debts due the state. But the readjuster legislature subsequently passed an obstructive en- actment, by virtue of which collectors were not required to receive the coupons until certain legal formalities to test their genuineness were complied with. After refusing the coupons the officials could levy upon the property of the hold- ers for tazes due the state. The supreme court decided that it could not interfere with the manuer in which the state pays its debts. Judge Bond, in interpreting this de- cision, holds that a tender of coupons for taxes is a legal tender, just as any other legal tender, for debts. That point established, it follows that the tax collec- tors must accept the coupons for debts due the state of Virginia withou: hag- glino. If the officials of Virginia levy npon the property of a creditor after tender of the coupons they will be re- strained from proceeding further by in- | hibits in the junction. The effect of the decision is to restore to the coupons®the validity origin- ally given them by the legislature of Virginia. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court, but if Judge Bond's decision is sustained, as it probably will be, the Re- adjuster party without readjustment will be like Hamlet with Hamlet left out, and Mr. William Mahone will be forced to seek other fields of political enter- prise. Tre attempt of Paul Vandervoort and his friends to secure his reinstatement through the snap endorsement of the Grand Army encampment at Hastings will not succeed, In the first place, Vander- voorst's incompetency and inefficiency were well known at Washington long be- fore he became prominently connected with the G. A. R. His removal was made solely on the grounds of civil service re- form. He was the worst official in the railway mail sarvico and the place and the interests of the patrons of the mails in this division demanded that a change should be made, The fact that he was a member of the G, A, R., which claims to bé'in no sense a political organ- ization, had no bearing whatever upon his removal or retention, The Grand Armyin Nebraska cannot permit themselves to beJplaced in the po- sition of demanding the reinstatement of & member who has been removed from political office on the grounds of incompetency, They can still less af- ford to join with that demand an implied threat of revenge at the polls, unless their request is complied| with, Such action furaishes the best of all handles for the often repeated charge made by their enemies that the G. A. R. is simply a machine worked injthe interests of de- signing politicians and chronic office seokers., As patriotic citizens who have shown their patriotism on the battle field, the Grand Army should be the last or- ganization to allow themselves to be used as a cover for scallawags and a shield be- hind which dishonest or incompetent office holders can dodge to escape the ef- focts of their official misconduct, But the half a million patrons of the mails in the west are more interested in Vander- voort's removal than the 20,000 members of the G. A, R. who permitted the pas- sage of the snap reselution demanding his reinstatement. There is scarcely # merchant in Nebrasky, Col- orado, Wyoming and Montana who has not suffered in a business point ‘of view from the shameful mismanage- ment of Vandervoort's office. By the patrons of the mail, Vandervoort's remoy- al will be and is now cordially 8ndorsed and the department in refusing to listen tw any and all demands for his reinstate- ment will consult the interests of good government and an _honest civil seryice THE STATE FAIR OPENING. The Nobraska state fair opened yester- day under more fayorable auspices than any of its predecessors, The line of ‘ex- various departments is larger, the facilities for their exhibition greater, and the various details of the management have been arranged on a more satisfactory basis than ever before. Those who attend, and their number will be thousands, will have an_ opportunity of secing and learning in person the capacity of our state as an agricultural territory, the wealth of its soil, and the variety of its productions. The displays from the harvest fields and orchards, from the garden and the dairy, from the stock yards and the apiary, give the lie to the chronic croakers who periodically vent their views on the superior advan- tages in the agricultural line possessed by other states and the uncertainty of Nebraska harvests. While other states are complaining of a deficiency in small grain, of injury to the cormn crop and the scanty yield of their orchards, Nebraska boasts of the largest harvest and the prospect of the most bountiful corn crop in her history. Our farmers are well satisfied and as all our other interests hinge largely on those of our farmors our people generally have no reason for complaint. Otnaha, hersclf, takesun espocial aegreo of gratification in the prosent fair. Its predecessors have proved that the me- tropolis of the state is the only place where o satisfactory exhibition and a pay- ing attendance can be attracted. Her merchants have contributed times past largely towards the forwarding of the enterpriso and the fine grounds aud buildings and the exhibits of local indus tries are largely the rosults of their efforts,. This year the city welcomes the visiters to the state fair with some pride. Since last year Omaha has made rapid strides tewards assuming the position of a well built and handsome metropolis worthy of state whose trade she commands, Public improvements have been begun and prosecuted with a vigor which both shows results in the present and bespeaks still greater ones in the immediate future. To the crowd of citizens from the stateand elsewhere who will visit us during the week the city offers ample and excellent hotel accom- modations, which have been extended and perfected since the last fair. There will be no grounds for complaint on this score,and all Nebraska farmers with theis sisters, and cousins, and aunts, may safe- ly venture to Omaha, assured of finding a welcome, au interesting and instructive exhibition, and the best of lodging and acoommodations, THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. The last spike wasdriven on the North- orn Pacific line on Saturday, nnd the new trans-continental route was opened to traftic from the coast to the lakes, with demonstrations worthy of the ovent. The completion of the road signalizos the con- summation of a great financiering scheme which has been carried through by tire- less energy and dauntless pluck. The panic of 1873 seemod to be the death blow of the road. The projector, Jay Cooke, failed for millions, and his down- fall carried grief to 11,000 bondholders in American homes. Mr. Cooke raised $25,000,000 by the sale of his bonds. After nearly ten years his successors have raised and expended $40,000,000 addi- tional. Failure has been converted into suocess, and the completed line stands as amonument to business sagacity and public confidence in the wealth-earning capncity of the country through which it passes. From theSpringfield Republican wo glean the following statistics of the road’s construction: When the panic came on the company had 450 miles of railroad constructed through northern Minnesota, Scarcely any settlement had them been made along the proposed; route, except a small one in Montana, The railroad planted had to wait for population to grow ‘around it and grow the freight which was to afford it revenue. depression of the bonds resulted in their being converted by the holders into lands, but these sales did not suftice for many years to pay the interest on the defaulted bonds, But the sales did bring population and ultimately railroad earnings, In 1876, the bondholders, un- der the lead of Frederick Billings, fore- closed upon an arrangement which was very fair. The neminal stock of $100,000,000, which had never been The [ issued, was divided into two parts—com- mon $49,000,000 and preferred $51,000,- 000. The preferred was issued in ex- change for the Jay Cooke bonds, 81,400 for $1,000, to cover interest, defaulted and to accrue. This absorbed 842,000, 000 of the preferred stock. The remain. ing $9,000,000 was issued by the com- pany. The conversion of preferred stock into land has reduced the amount out- standing to about $42,000,000, which is entitled to 3 per cent interest, if the net earnings will pay it. The common stock was distributed to the proprietary inter- est and will have a share in the net earn- ings, after the ether charges are paid, if there is anything left. The accession of the Villard interest to the control in 1881 united the fortunes of the North- orn Pacific and of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, which controlled the river and rail transporta. tion interests of the Columbia river, and in fact of all Orogon, This was & practi cal consolidation of the Northern Pacific with the existing transportation plant of Oregon and with the new rail connection with California now approaching com- pletion, The Oregon and Transconti- nental company, through which Henry Villard sustains and *“financiers” all three of these enterprises, is a great credit company, with $40,000,000 of capital, which “*has no directly ‘owned proper- ties,” but leases or owns a controlling amount of stock in the others. Mr. Vi lard had at the start one of the best pay- ing properties in the United Statos in the common carrying business in the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, which pays 10 per cent. dividends on its present earnings. The credit company, the Oregon and Transcontinental, paid Inst yoar 4} per cent. on its capital. The capitalization of the Northern Pa- cific railroad is about 835,000 per mile in stock; debt by general mortgage, 825,000 per mile with a reserve te take up the divisional mortgages on the divisions covered by them; the total thereforo is about 860,000 per mile against $110,000 on the Union Pacific,and $120,000 on the Central The line and branches owned by the company amount to 2,600 miles. The distance from Su- perior City on Lake Superior to Portland on Puget sound is 1,932 miles; from Portland to San Francisco 785, from New York to Portland 3,276, being almost identically the same via San F' and via the Northern Pacific. So f; first cost and burden of indebtedness go, therefore the new road to the Pas const has a smaller load to carry than the old one. It has no government debt to pay off. While it lies north of the median line of the continent it is quite as direct to Asia. The interests of great capital- ists are, however, so manifestly in the di- rection of harmony, rather than of com- petition, that we are not likely to see any open warfere between the old and the new routes to the Pacific coast- Each will look more and more to its own local population for prosperity, and all there will find their real competition in the Suez canal, the sailing vessels of the great oceans, and ultimately, perhaps, the Panama canal. It is rather extraordi- nary that the Northern Pacific preferred stock was quoted before the road was opened at 88, while the Central Pacific wasat 71 and the Union Pacific at 92. The Northern Pacific must find its profit in the population and the wise develop- ment of all the material interests of the great section which it opens and binds to the rest of the Union,—not in a narrow, selfish or grasping policy, butina broad, iberal and paternal one. Pacific. main as Trr agent of the associated press tele- graphs to know how much damage has been done to the corn crop in Nebraska by frosts. So far as we can learn the damage, if any, has been trifling. A few weeks more of warm weather will assure to our farmers the heaviest crop en re- cord. Much of our corn is too far ad- vanced to be seriously injured by frosts. This}is one of the advantages of a Ne- braskagclimate L i’Pll!SONALlTlES. Shapira Dorsey is what they call him now.

SIDNEY can scarcely be said to be booming, but 10 signs of decline. town has slowly ralliod; but the cattle in- torests to the north and west have in- creased rapidly and the local trade is being_maintained with much more_firm- ness than might have been expected. the certainty of a revival of the Black Hills freighting business. This is the re- Northwestern road. Within the past few weoks, a large number of the leading merchants of Rapid City and Deadwood froight brought by way of the Union Pa- cific, conditional upon securing the favor- able rates which have been assured them by the railroad company and the freight- ers, the freight outward bound from Sidney comes to this point, Fort Robinson, G. H. Jewett being the contractor, but a considerable amount of local freighting is done to points between the railroad and Running Water, for the supply of the ranches. So those who have been calcu- lating on the further decline of Sidney must revise their estimates. Fort Sidney is now the headquarters of the Fourteenth infantry, recently re- moved to this department from White river, The Fifth cavalry, which was its Erodaueuor in the garrison, has taken its eadquarters at McKinney, one of its companies, Capt. Payne's, coming to this post, where it is now in camp waiting the constraction of its new quarters. The Fifth was always a favorite with the Sid- ney people, as it is throughout the de- partment, Fort Sidney is one of the posts recommended to be retained as a permanent garrison by Generals Sher- man and Sheridan, and if a_generous congress doos its duty we may look with- in the next fow years for the construc- tion of neat and durable officers’ and sol- diers’ quarters, 1t was nearly 9 o’clock when the Dead- wood stage of the Wyoming stage com- pany drew up in front of the station to receive its cargo, poundb of fruit was loaded behind and strapped on top and by the time the pas- sengers had been packed inside and stowed on the boot there was so little space to spare that several hundred pounds of express matter and some bag- gage was necessarily left behind for lack of room. The coanmny is doing a fine business and the coaches and stock of the line are of the best. Sixteen coaches, 150 horses and 90 employes form the equipment of the line, which, under the superintendence of Mr. Thos. W. Furlong, 18 one of the best conducted in the west, landing its passengers in Deadwood 50 hours from Sidney, and 90 hours from Chicago, or several hours shorter than the Pierre line. The natural result of the decreased time has been an increased passenger and express traffic, which at present 1is test- ing to the utmost the capacity of the company. Coach loads of eight or nine passengers are coming into Sidney daily, while the outgoing coaches are hardly less heavily filled. We leave Sidney to the right and the mules strike a brisk trot as we wind to- wards the west and take the road over the buttes which skirt the town to the north, For the first seven miles from Sidney the road is hard and excellent; it becomes rougher as we approach Water Holes, the first station out, but, as stage roads go, is excellent until beyond Greenwood, 29 miles from Sidney, where we stop for dinner aud are gouged $1.00 for a wretched meal of salt pork, bad butter and seur bread. Between Greenwood and Camp Clarke we meet with occas- ionalstretches of heay; place is the great bridge over tho Platte, or *Clarke’s Bonanza,” as it is called in that section, Here we catch a glimpse of Charley Kelsey, formerly of Omaha, who is now representing Mr, Clarke's in- terests at the store and bridge. The bridge has been a fortune in days past, but since the decline of the Deadwood ously impaired time it pays handsomely on an invest- ment of which a half was a clear dona- tion from the people. When stage travelling, by all means, if ible, seek a seat on the box with the iver, In the first place the air is better, the view is wider, and ten chances to one the society is more agreeable. Our dri- ver was an uncommunicative old stager, who had drifted from one stage line to an- other in gight states and territories, and who began our acquaintance by remark- ing that the trouble with most box seat passengers was that they asked too many d——n fool questions, He did not seem to place the inquiry, *‘Whether he would take a cigar?” under this category, and from Camp Clarke to Red Willow made himself most enter- taining with reminiscences of stage driv- ing which would fill a large sized volume. Inside the stage a Deadwood merchant, Hospital Stewart Bergold and the wife of Wheelwright Rainey, of this post, with two children, are fighting to keep their seats as the stage sways from side to side under its heavy load, or jumps up and down on the thoroughbrace as we leave the road and cut across thehills to escape the heavy sands.

The children became nervous and sleepy and roll from one end of the stage to the other to the great discomfort of the passengers. The snoring man be- gins to get in his work, and his naisal monotone rises above the creaking of the laboring eonveyance and the cry of the driver. We are now fourteen miles from Red Willow and an hourlate. The sun is just beginning to set over a line of buttes to our right and the scene is one never to be forgotten_though hardly to be fully appreciated ‘under the present discomforts.

The rest of my journey was pleasantly made behind the spank- ing team of D{njur J. W.

From Snake Creek to the Running Water, which further east becomes the Niobrara. the country is true prairio land gently undulating” and covered e luxuriant growth of grass. The valley of the Running Water is well taken up with cattle ranches, and considerable fencing in has been done along the line of the stream, There are no such im- mense herds as we find in Wyoming, but the tendency is to improve the stock, and many of the ranchmen are cutting large quantitios of hay for winter consumption. Further north and west, along Hat creek, at Buf- falo. Gap and Buckhorn, the the cattlo interests are larger and several wealthy English corporations areconduct- ing the business on a heavier scale. The extension of the Sioux City & Pacificroad to this section of the country is one of the certainties of the near future, when shipments can be made without the long drive which is now necessary. Valentine present torminus of the road, is only 160 miles distant in a direct line, and the preliminary surveys have been already run through to the Powder river in Wyoming. With the building of the railroad to this section of the state the the Black Hills trade would once more pass almost entirely through]Nebraska, as the line would be fully fifty miles shorter than the present route by way of Fort Pierre. Leaving 'Running Water we catch our first, view of the long broken crests of buttes, which enclose %{obinaou in asemi- circle of pine-crowned turretts. The ride from about six miles from the river into the valley of the White Clay, in which the post is beautifully located, is a picturesque and interesting one. From above Breakneck Hill, a few miles south of White Clay stage station, a turn of the road brings us to a vista of scenery which of its class is unsurpassed in the west. Around and about usrise the buttes, with their rounded tops broken at intervals by tower-like promontories, from which run to their bases, minature canyons, carpeted with grass and lined with lofty pines. Far to the right Crow Buttes, looking like the broken architectual pile of amedieval castle, with turret and tower, and chapel, and flying buttresses of sandstone, = perched upon a rocky promonitory of some Rhineland movnt- ain, send their headsabove their fellows. Crow Buttes is a historiclandmark of this region and lies a little more than eight miles from the party.
