No member of the coming legislature is probably in doubt how he should vote in the joint session if he proposes to act farrly and honestly and in accordance with his own pledges or the instructions of his constituency. The fight is to be one of Van Wyek against the ficid and most of the legisla- tive reeruits enhisted under one baunner or another when they made their canvass, Of course, there may be desertions, The railroad managers confidently predict that there will be several. We shall sco what we shall sce. But there are many problems of general legislation which will come up for solution upon which the newly elected members eannot inform themselves too thoroughly. The bogus railroad commission still exists and onght togo. Rejected by the popular vote, it was forced upon the state by the railroad attorneys in defianco of the expressed will of our eitiz Uscless, expensive and a langhing stock to all who know 1ts composition and workings, it should be wipedout of existence by the next legis- lature. X Reveue reform is another question over which there s likely to be more or less discussion. The problem of equalizing t tion is a difficu't one and should be carcfnlly considered by every legisiator in the hght of the interests of the s and the producing classes, Our present revenue law is inadequate in many re- tion. He said broader legislation for dealing with this disease was called for from congress, and showed that ¥rance and Germany ve much better laws concerning contagious cattle than the United States. The Freneh law makes it incumbent on every owner or party having charge of any animal affected or suspected of bang affected with any contagions disease to make im mediate declaration to the proper authorit Veterinarians are required to make immediate declaration when called upon to visit such animals, An avimal affected with any discase must be kept isolated. Several minor requirements of the law were given, authorizing the slaughter by the offic veterinarian, within two days, of the ammals, and the quarantining of ammals exposed to the plagune. The sale of animals affected is interdictod. Indemnity to owners is pro- vided for half the value of the animal be- fore the disease, if affected, and three- anarters of the value if the animal had only been exposed; the whole value to be paid if the animal died from inoculation. A limit to the sum to bs pmd is fixed. No com- pensation is allowed to owners of animals imported from forcign countries killed within three months after their importa- tion. The German law provides vigorous measures to be adopted at the first ap- arance of the plague.

The oldest inhabi- tant and the newest w ¢ prophet have something now to swap lics upon. THERE is 2 wrong mpression abroad in some quarters that the next legislature will consider the vote polled at the last election in making the new apportion- ment of the legislative and new judicial districts. Our constitution fixes as the basis of apportionment the population as roturned by federal or state census. The state census of 1885 will govern the redistricting of the state. That, of course, will still leave the northwestern portion of the state, which has received the heavi- est immigration since that census was taken, largely disfranchised. For the same reason the central and southwestern part of the state will also suffer. For five years to come they will have to remain satisfied with only & share of what they are entitled to in the way of legisla- tive representation. But when the cen- sus of 1800 is taken what a revelation we may look for all around. has brought before the council. is not the market house project of Web- ster Snyder, or the scheme of Dr. Miller to donate the square as a depot ground to the Missouri Pacific, but an out and out proposition for its sale to private JEFFERSON square agl been This time it speculators. What they proposs to do ‘with the square is not stated. They may dwide it 1nto lots, cover it with blocks of residences or business houses, they may locute & grand rink or they may lease it for show purposes, In any event the council has no business to dispose of the property. With the exception of the high school grounds it is the only spot in the city t afords even the semblance of a park. What the ity should do is to make the park more attractiv Jefferson square should have a fountain and woll-kept walks and lawns. Beautiful shrubberyshould be plantedand the square should be to Omaba what Union and Madison squares are to New York, 1f any syndicate desires to purchase land in the noeighborhood of the square it can have it at the market price. Wrrn cold and snow come increased demands for charity from our people. Omaba is prospering. Hundreds of her citizons are climbing the ladder of for tune to wealth. But the poor are also in ereasing in number with the increase in the city's population, and the setting in of winter finds many poverty-stricken men and women in want of food and clothing and fuel. Winter brings other duties than those of heaping up our own coal bins and providing against want in our own households. There 18 no disgrace an honest poverty, But indiflerence to the sufferings of the poor and sick and unfortunate which competence can re- moye or alleviate is shameful and disgraceful, because hard- hearted and foreign to good citizenship. Omahy has & numoer of organized chari- ties which are quietly doing much good in this commumty without any blow of trumpets and self-sought newspaper notorioty. It is due to the good name of our poople to give these agencies for the relief of misery & handsome and generous support. cial ana legislative redistricting, over whose solution there are always so many heartburnings and jealousies. With a map of Nebraska and Super- intendent Lane's Iast census report in his hand every legislator should some time to the prayerful consideration of the problem. It will bear study questions of the submission of aprohibi- tory amendment, of a constitutional con- vention, of changesin the classification of municipalities and amendments of city charters will also have to be considered. Every lawyer will have a new panacea for defective statutes, The doctors also yearning for legislation. The amount of prospective work is enough to appall the stoutest legislative heart. The members-elect should post them- eful study of the situation to be. Tlie first conviction with penalties im- posed for illeggal fencing of the public do- n in Nebraska occurred last k in the federal court of Omaha when two employes of a Ch enne county ecattle company plead guilty and were fined $10 and costs, the penalty in each instance amounting to something more than a hundred dollars. Since the raid of the interior department upon the fene a large majority of the ecattle companies have complied with the law and removed their enclosures. Several still remain 1 our stats and the land of- fice has notitied its agents in this district to institute promptly and push suits against all offenders. Th as it should be. There was perhaps good excuse for fencing the ranges during the years when the ranchman was the only pioneer and the settler had not yet begun to lay claim to the public domain. The government injured no interest by wink- ing at what was a violation of the Ilaw, d as no ones rights were as: there was no complaint of the practic 0y~ The cattlemen crossed the boundary of wisdom when their fences, built to en- close cattle, were maintained to exclude settlers. ‘I'he moment that the 1ssue was made as to whether the fences or the homesteaders must go, there was no doubt about the result. The government stepped in promptly and demanded the removal of the fences. Under our Nebraska law owners of for cattle are made responsible tke damage doue by th herds to the property and crops of tlers. This is lled the ‘“‘herd law,” But under a provision of the statutes the “herd law can be set aside in any county by a vote of its citizenship, and individual property owners can be com- pelled to maintain fences to protect their farms. ‘I'he object of this provision to make ranching possiblein far western counties where agricultural land was supposed to bosearce and grazing looked upon as the only lucrative indu try. It was believed that most of the settlers would be small stock raisers who for the sake of having a free range for their herds would be willing to cnforce fencing upon themsclves and their neighbors, If the settlers make no objection to these ranch fences and prefer to assist the cattle raising in- dnstry, as many of the eattlemen insist, the remedy is at hand. Let them take down their fences and permit the “gran- gors” to suspend the ‘“herd law'’ by voting a nee lu That would be a legul method for the protection of herds. inelosing Uncle Sam’s land 15 not and it cannot be permitted. Discussing the Cattle Plagne, The second anuual convention of the veterinary and state sanitary boards as- sembled in Chicago on Monday. The convention does not represent a perma- nent organization, but it is intended to create one, so that their annual meetings may be more fully attended, the work and research peculiar to such an organ- ization enlarged aud systematized, and other advantages attained which are not easily sceured without permanent organ- ization, There are present at the meet- ing nbout thirty delegates, a fair repre- sentation of the boards throughout the country, The deliberations of the first day’s session was devoted almost wholly to pleuro-pucumonia, and much valua- ble opinion was given regarding this troublesome disease, now widely preval- ent, Dr. Hindekoper, dean of the veter- ary department of the University of Pennsylvania, said he did not agree with his colleagues of Harvard university and the American veterinary college in say- ing that it was impossible now to exter- minate the lung plagve from our soil any more than it was impossible to ac- complish anything demanded by the needs of the country when the fortunes and livelikood of a large number of citi- zens were at stake. The present out- break of pleuro-pneumonia had been predicted and ealled for immediate ac- ammals; second, that it is incurs third, that the disease can be communi- cated from animals that have apparently recovered, and these are the most danger- ous, as to the unprofessional eye they may show no symptoms of dis and yet be centers of contagion that spread the disease to all animals they come in contact with. Admitting these premises the question is Low to exterminate the disease with economy, thoroughness and dispateh, Dr. Gadsden pomted out wherein the system of quarantine had proved worthless, and said that as a matter of economy he believed the slaughter of every animal exposed to contagion, as well ns those actually af- fected, would involve loss expense than placing herds n quarantine, as well as being tar sa First, the disease being incurable, animals affected with it be- came valueless to their owner for pur- poses of traflie, and their speedy destruce- tion removed danger that menaced all other animals in the vicinity. A large provortion of the animals exposcd wo ild ultimately become affected, and if killed before th beeame actually diseased their flesh could be sent to market and a large share of the loss averted. By keep- ing them 1n quarantine more would con- tract the discase, become valueless for tood, propagate the disease, and, the owner being prevented from introducing new cattle into the herd, nis business would be paralyzed “There was some uncertainty asto the time required to develop pleuro-pncumonia after contacet. es had oceurred, it was claimed, in which six months had elapsed between the contact and the ap- pearance of the disease. If this was true a three months’ quarantine, such as was customary, was useless. Experi- ments could no longer be tolerated; the danger was too imminent, the pre- valence of the discase too great to admit of half-way measures. Quarantine, in cases ot isolated herds, if maintained long enough, might answer the purpose, but under present circumstances it w: almost impossible. Prompt slatighter, 1t known, would eradicate the was Dr. Faville, state veterinarian of Colo- rado, read a paper in the course of which he said that state quarantines were at best questionable means of doing good. 1t is impossible to secure safety by state laws. Government control is necessary, and the co-operation of government, state and local authorities is needed to insure the safety of the live stock inter- est. He regarded the presence of numer- ous contagious diseases 1n this country as alarming. A Paying Precaution. Insurance st: ies throughout the coun- try show that the ovening of cold weather is the most disastrous to the companies currying risks. Fires are more frequent and losses correspondingly heavier. The reason assigned is the carelessness used in starting roaring fires in chimneys and flues which have lain idle during the summer, With the first drop in the ther- mometer, grates and furnaces, stoves and boilers are 1n eetive requisition and safet; is lost sight of in the anxiety for immedi- ate heat, Too much care cannot be used in the inspection of flues and pipes before they are put into stendy use for the winter, Defeet flues cause a 'Ze proportion of the fires tubulated by the insurance companies, The hasty and reckloss con- struction of our buildings by which beams and rafters are too frequently inserted in chimneys is a fertile source of conflug tions, while foul chimueys and disregurd of the effect of high winds upon drafts and a roaring fire add to the number of such disasters, At this season of the year the careful and wise houscholder will examine his insurance policy as well as s wood pile and coal bin and sef his stoves and flues in order. It will be found to be a paying precaution. The Business Situation, The fall in the temperature denoting the certain approach of winter promises a prompt renewal of activity i all branches of the distributing trade which for the past week has been marked b, few noticeable changes. The produce markets show no features of new inter- est. A fair export inquiry for wheat is reported and considerable business been done auietly at all Atlantic ports without sensibly affecting values. The conservatism of the foreign demand has restrained any tendeney to excitement in the market, and the steadiness of values bas enabled shippers to fill a good many orders that prubably would have been canceled at any adyance in prices. The receipts of wheat at northwestern centers have continuea large, and this free move- ment and the large visible supply have discouraged speculation for higher prices. The fluctuations in the market have been within narrow limits, and the cowparison of closing prices yesterday | N\ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1886, with the rates enrrent at the week ago shows no noteworthy change. Corn has been depressed by the large stocks in st and in mght Ihe new corn 18 in excellent condi- tion, and a movement of large pro- portions ig probable during the next fow weeks, The fedoral crop report was more favorable than had been expected nd had some effect as an element of akness in the market. Prices are 1 to 1} cents per bushe! lower 1n New York and Chieago, but are a shade higher in Philadelphin, where the offerings have been comparatively light. Business in hog products has been crippled by the labor troubles in Cluweago. Packers at all westorn points have generally de clined to make contracts for future delivery, and speculative business in all markets has been much restricted. The disturbed condition of the trade has wused a decline of 15 to 20 cents per 100 pounds in the prico of hogs, although the winter season starts out with a much smaller movement than at the corresponding period last year. In general trade all intercsts report a fair activity except in wool. The wool trade continues very danil, and territorial clips have been shaded a little in price to t sulos, but flecces are very firmly held in all markets, It is between sea- £ons in the manufacturing trade, and, while mills are well employed on orders, new business is light, and next scason’s wants are not sufliciently detined to war rant the preparation of stocks of raw ma- terial. Another cause of hesitancy on the part of wool buyers is the failure of the woolen goods market to advance in full sympathy with the raw staple. Man- ufacturers are not pushing for new or- ders at eurrent prices, and generally ex- peet to realize higher rates on their future sales. The shortage of wool clips in all parts of the world and the strength of prices in Europe, together with the im- proved condition of general business, en- courage confidence among holders of wool in this country, and from present indieati there is ise of higher her than lower prices before the elip wr ends.

Heis unknown to the vast majority of the people, as a matter of course, and few of them take the trouble to inquire as to his antecedents, but if he survives, even though desperately wounded, it is gen- rally thongnt quite probable that he was himself a party to the theft. Nothing but his corpse will dispute the suspicion, and there have been eases where that did not suflice. In Maine a fow years ago a bank cashier was found at the door of his open vault dying from many wound The currency was gono, and 1t was ey dent that he had been murdered by rob- bers. His wite explained tha man had called at his house eariy in the morning and on some pretext had induced hour That the bank at an would be ther him to go to when no one el was all that was known about the matter.

The Saturday Review rather resents the humorous proceedings of a Colorado man who recently wrote to the clergy of an Irish protestant church in Dublin, asking for the means to probate a will which had been made in favor of the said church, and under whose provisions it was to re- ceive some §300,000. The recipients of this information and request appear to have been somewhat cautious, though not cautious enough. They declined to send the Colorado man the drofts he asked for, but they took n course which involyed still more expense, for they sent onc of the number all the way to Denver to investigate the case. As the reader has doubtless anticipated, when the reverend geotleman reached his destination he soon discovered that the story of the pious bequest was a fietion, invented by the ingenious Colorado cor pondent for the purpose sing the wind, as perhaps he wonld have put at.
