Mr. Adams would not tolerate the classics in the freight department. SeNaTor ManpersoN has presented to the senate a memorial from the Nebraska legislature, asking that the duty on barbed wire be removed. The barbed wire combination is one of the strongest monopolies in the country, and it is an outrage upon western farmers, in treeless states like Jowa, Nebraska and Kansas, to be obliged to pay the high prices which the monopolists are in a measure enabled to maintain, owing to the exces- sive duty imposed. Were the tariff re- duced, it would open up competition and compel the proprietors of patents tolow- er their royalties, in order that the manufacturers could compete.

The na tional committee is empowered to appor- portion the representation and fix the number of the delegates that are to com- pose the convention. It wiil determine when and where the convention is to be held, The probability is that the con- vention will be held in the early part of While Indianapolis is ambitious to obtain the honor, glory and profits of a national convention, she is not likely Indianapolis may be The contest will probably narrow down between Phil- New England, but the will Philadelphia the preference, vestern states and the Pacific coast be solid for Chicago. The (uestion of paramount importance that will largely influence the choice of the next convention is the apportion- ment of representation. Heretofore cach state has been represented by two dele: gates for each senator or congressman This system of representation has been unjust because it represented population instead of party, Kentucky, with her 70,000 democratic majority, had 24 dele- gatos in the last republican national con- vention, while Towa, with 70,000 repub- lican majority, had but 22 delegates, Missouri, which is democratic, had 50 delegates,and 1linois, overwhelmingly republican, had only 24 delegates, Such an apportionment placed the balance of powerin the con- vention in the hands of the south, where overwhelmingly the republicans had no electoral votes, and deprived the solid republican states of the proper influence which they should oxert in the choice of the presidential candidates, Senator Frye, who is a member of the national committeo from Maine, proposes anew scheme of ropresentation, based mainly on republican votes instead of population. Under Mr. Frye's plan cach state would be entitled to two delegates at large for each senator, for cach congressional district, and ono \ district for one delegate additional delegate to overy ton thousand republican votes, and one for every majority fraction of ten thousand votes cast for Garfield in 1880. This would greatly increase the relative power of the republican states and cut down the representation of the south in the next national convention. The pres- ent apportionment would make an aggre- gate of 820 delegates, of whom the north has 514 and the south 306. With a solid south in the convention any candidate who could muster one-fifth of the north- ern representation would carry the nom- ination. Under Mr. Frye's scheme the whole body would be composed of 870 delegates, of whom the north would have If the by a desire to make the next national convention a represontative body of the persons, ot whom only 162 have made proof and payment as required by law, aggregating 19,143.52 acres, leaving 22,- 811,80 acres on which default has been made, and to which by the terms of the act, the parties who applied to purchase them have forfeited their rights. By the terms of the former sale thirty days were given in which to make the first payment. By the terms of the next sale the successful bidder will have to pay down one-fourth the amount at the time of sale, and the remainder in three equal yearly payments. Tue Bee has at different times been asked by correspondents what exemption of property a man has under the law,and in reply to such inquiries, our readers are referred to page 099, of the compiled statutes of Nebraska, section 521, which says: *‘All heads of familios who havo neither lands, town lots or houses subject to exemption as a homestead under the laws of this state, will have exemption from forced sale or execution the sum of five hundred dollars in personal prop- erty.” This, however, does not exempt personal property from execution and sale by reason of failure to pay personal taxes. All pereonal property, including household furniture and utensils, no mat- ter by whom owned, are subject to seiz- ure by county and city revenue officers, where the owner does not pay the tax levied upon it. Tae Herald, in a sarcastic vein, al- ludes to the fact that the waterworks have recently been reinforced by ** Hol- ly swindle” machinery, Although the Gaskell pump, built in Holly's Lockport works, has not the remotest resemblance to the original Holly wmachinery, the Herald seems to forget that the swindle, for which that paper was the mainstay, was not in the machinery, The swindle was in bribing councilmen to vote a franchise which would have given us Cheap-Johu waterworks, with four-inch W.linl, 10 reservoir, and only 18 miles of Pipe service, at a rental of 8100 per year for each bydrant, with the final prospect of the city being cowpelled to buy up the works and roconstruct them at an enor- mous expense, It was this swindle which the Bee denounced and defeated in spite of the desperato efforts of the conspira- party, it will adopt Mr. Frye's sugges- tion, or what would be better still an apportionment based strictly on the party vote. There is, however, grave donbt whether the committee will inaugurate this much needed reform. Last year a proposition very similar to that by Mr, Frye was made by William . Chandler, but it was rejected because many members regarded it as a move in the interest of Mr, Blaine. Mr, Chan- dleris now in President Arthur's cabi- net, and he is probably not plotting for Blaine as much now as he was four years ago. The trouble with the committee, as now organized, is that each state has but one vote. A member from a demo- cratic stato has as mush to say as a mem- ber from a republican state, and the tor- ritories have each as mush of a vote as any state in the union, This gives the south and the territories, when com- bined, the preponderance in the com- mittee. Honce, it is most likely that Mr, Frye's suggestion will meet the fate of that of Mr. Chandler. The very first thing, however, that will come up before the committee will show the way the wind blows. ‘The death of ex-Governor Jewell and tho resignation of Star-Route Dorsey left the committee without chairman or sec- rvetary. The character of the men who are to succeed them will indicate whether the committee is disposed to place the party before the country in a condition which will command renewed confidence and respect, Mz, Gro, H, Ronkgrs, for many years a resident and a leading lawyer of this state, has removed to Hailey, Idaho, where he proposes to locate, During the incumbency of Governor Garber, Mr, Roberts ofliciated as attorney general,the duties of which oftice he performed with recognized ability, His accession to the bar of our western territory is somoething with which the lattor may ‘he pleased, Republican, Governor Garber had 50 much confi- dence in the integrity of Roberts, when he was attorney general, that he refused to trust him with any important case in which the state was involved, It is a notorious fact that Roberts was a pur- chasable commodity, in whom no state officer had any faith, leastof all Governor Garber, When important suits were pending, iuvolving fraudulent claims of tors and jobbers, who were supported by the Jferald, g9 4 J Hon, T. contractors, Governor Garber engaged M, Marquette to defend the the transportation, and its organ has sup- Now let the band Washington plied the soft soap. did play, as it in when Roberts hired it to serenade himself,and then let 1t pass around the hat for its pay.

Shoup, of Salmon City, at the Paxton hotel the other day,” remarked Mr. Charles H. Dewey; * 1 have known him for many yoars, Ho is the wealthiest citizen of of Tdaho territory. Twenty years ago he made his headquarters in Denver. He was then captain of a Colorado company, Col.

There were not over 1000 grown persons, and a large number of those were cransients, and a large portion of the remainder have either died or moved away, 80 that but a very small number of those who were here i 1863 are hero to- day, and a large percentage of those that do remain are old moss-backs. The Omaha of to-day is made up of an alnost entirely new and enterprising population to whom the history of the early days of the city is always a matter of nferest. *x ——4“1 understand that Lew Ley, of reside,” remarked a real estate dealer to TurBee Man About Town; “he has pur- chasod ten acres just westof Fort Gmaha upon which he proposes to crect a hand- someo residence. He has lived up in Stanton county for thirteen years, and has become well fixed financially. When he went thero he had but very httle money. During the grasshopper plague, when the outlook for Nebraska was the darkest, ho bought for small sums quite a number of farms from farmers who be- came discouraged at the prospects and wanted to emigrate to a region where the grasshopper was unknown. Since then, however, Nebraska has prospered. Her population has increased to over 600,000 people, and the rise in land has beon wonderful. Lew Ley has also been en- gaged in cattlo raising, uud has made it a success, Ho is now one of the principal owners of the Citizens’ bank of Stanton, which is quite a prosperous institution.” e ——“I was much interested in Tue B Union Pacific history,” said a well- known citizen the other day. ‘It re- called to mind alittle incident regarding Mr. Poppleton. | came to Omaha in the summer of 1863, and I frequently met on the street a man who was in the habit of walking around without his coat. Hehad a rod flannel shirt and a very red face. From his general appearance 1 took him to be a cattle dealer or a butcher, and 1 did not regardfthefman as of enoughcon- sequence even to inquire his name. On the 2d of December of that year, I was one of the crowd present at tho breaking of ground for the Union Pacific. Speake; after speaker was called up, and finally the man with the red shirt and the red faco, in response to calls for Poppleton suddenly mounted a wagon, and, muclt to my surprise, mado the most eloquent spooch of the oocasion. 1 then enquired as to who Poppleton was, and I was told that ho was a prominent lawyer. This shows that you can’t always judge a man by his appearance. Mr. Poppleton has ever since been the attorney of the Union Pacific,” * *x ——Just now the store windows pre sent a very attractive appearance, they haying been specially arranged for the holidays, 'The dry goods windows are very artistically dressed. *“I'o dress our windows,” remarked a leading ery goods merchant to the Ber’s Man = About Town, *‘requires a great deal of skill and refined taste.

For a while he managed the Academy of Music and a theatrical circuit ~in this lm" of the country, He had a great ambition to shine as a star actor, but he had little or no opportunity here, In fact he had to ntruggfiu to keep his head above water. Leaving Omaha he went to New York, and by hard work and indomitable cheek he has acquired some reputation and considerable money. He has written several plays, which, al- though possessing but littlo” merit, have proved fairly successful.

Al & M, contends against the less than fifty cents per Missouri the river Union Pacific on the north, and the Kan- sas Pacific on the south, it than holds more its own unequal odds, There are two causes which operate to the success of the B, & M. Its, coming to the Salt Lake valley, while it did not materially affect rates at the time, against was joyfully hailed by shippers, as it gave them a choice of routes to the east, and at once abolished the dictatorship of the Union Pacific. During the years when the latter held absolute sway over the commerce of that region it was impossi- ble to rebel or resent the domineering terms of the road’s agents, and when the opportunity was offered, shippers paid with interest their old scores. Another advantage possessed by the B. & M. is its ability to ship goods from Chicago to Denver without breaking bulk. This latter advantage is the main spring of the efforts of the Union Pacific to secure an outlet to Chicago. The assertion of General Manager Clark, that the meet- ing of prominent members of the Towa pool in New York was ‘‘a coincidence,” is rather transparent, when it is well known among railroad men that he is de- termined to secure a line to Chicago by any means, even to the building of one. Al reports show that the Mil- wakue & St. Paul is the chosen line,with the Rock Island and possibly the North- western as friendly allie lington. The certaint; The Union Pacific is slowlyandstealth- ily gaining a grip at all prominent towns in Montana, not only in railroad facilities, but in the coal mines which are now be- ing developed in the Gallatin valley. An expert in black diamonds recently ap- peared at Bozeman, and in a few days he purchased one of the best prospects in the neighborhood. It is generally be- lieved that the property was purchased for the Utah & Northern. The purchase is significant of two things—the main- tenance of the price of Wyoming coal in the territory, and to prevent, if possible, competition from the east. The price of Rock Springs coal at Butte is about 820, and a honanza of that size is hard to lose without a struggle Jagainst the Bur- e | of such a com- How Children Had “Fun.” bination being forme hardly doubted | on a summer dag, they went to play, in any quarter, and the struggle which | Downthe road to Deacon Jones' pasturc; will surely follow will be closely watehed bed the tree, Vio looked wo ga; throughout the west. of thegreen apple kind, One of the results of the Utah rate| Batauickly cured by CASTORIA. war ig the glutting of the lead market in New York and sending prices far below The smelters and milling men of Colorado arc in arms, and threaten to shut down unless the rail- roads to their relief.
