This has a familiar sound. We think that the subject has been men- tioned before. THE opposition of Mr. Cleveland to Mr. Murphy seems to have given the latter a great boom for the New York . senatorship. The president-elect ex- hibited his weak side wheu he issued /that proclamation against one of the favorites of Tammany. It 18 believed 10 Wall street that there is danger of the collapso of the whole Reading dea!, which is said to be 'in a precarious condition on account of the attempt of President McLeod und his associates to carry out their schemes #n Now England instead of confining their operations to the Penasylvanin coal trade. If any misfortune should pofall tho Reading, which controls the anthracite coal output and robs the con- sumors, the public would be deeply grieved. A CONTEMPORARY saye. speaking of khe Australian ballot system: “To stub- “bornly sustain a law in all its imperfec- tions thathas been shown by practical demonstration to rob any portion of the people of their political rights, is a crime against suffrage and an outrage on American citizenship.” Itis strange that so simple, safe and effective a sys- < tem of voting should meet with such oriticism. It works well enough in this ‘stave and nobody here wants to ex- . ‘ohange it for any othar plan of voting _that has ever been proposed. #, It 1s proposed that more effective * Jaws be passed for tho punishment of train wrecking and train robbery. A bill has been 1introduced in congress providing that a conviction for wreck- ing a train or for robbery thereon shall subject the offender to a tine of $5,000 snd imprisonment for ten years, and ‘that the penalty for placing obstructions ‘upon a track foc the purpose of derail- 4ng a train shall be a fine of $10,000 and fmprisoument for twenty years. Inonse of death resulting from the derailment of & train by such means tho offender phall be deemed guilty of murder and jpunished nccordingly. No punishinent can he too severe for a mis:reant who wrecks u railroad train. Tae Agiicultural department has mado its final estimate of the produc- tion of wheat, corn and ouats in 1892 According to these figures Nebraska produced last year, in round numbers, 15,000,000 bushels of wheat, 157,000,000 ‘uholl of corn and 43,000,00) bushels of ! ”H Towa’s production of these grains _ wespective'y was 7,000,000 bushels, 200, L000 bushels aud 95,000,000 bushels. ge- produced, 70,000,000 bushels of wheat, 145,000,000 bushels of corn and 000,000 bushels of oats, Nebraska ‘was the third corn state last year, com- 4ng within a few miilion bushels of the uction of Illinois, while the total d of wheat, corn and oats in Ne- @ in 1892, 216,000,000 bushels, puts (n»u high in the list of pgricultural weoalths, and wa rants the opin- L 200 | THE DUTY OF THE LEGISLATURE.

A PO corrupt combination has s to clog and block | lation demanded by the people for their own protection and the high-handed attempt of these conspirators is frustrated by the legislaturo the vory self-preservation.

THE ELECTORAL COLL Tho next step in the election president and vice president of the United States will ba taken today. The presidential elegtors of the vari states will meet in their vespect itals and formally record the pr tial prefercnces of each state, [tisa very simple task that the electors are required to perform, but a very impovt- ant one. ‘Phe result will probably stand in this way sveland and son andl | Weaver u i s tal number of vote v to a choi majority. . residential electors having dis charged their duty and forwardod the result to Washington as required by law, the next and final act in the choice of a prosidont and vico president will take vlace on the second Wednesday in Februury, when the law provides that congriess shall be 1n session to count the electoral vote. The senate and house of representatives will on thav day meet in the hall of the house, the president of the ssnate presiding. Two tellers must be previously appointed on the part of the senate and two on the part of the house, to whom shall be hunded, as they ave opened by the pr ident of the senate, all the certificates and papers purp of the. electoral votes, which cortifi- cates and papers shall be opened, pro- sented and acted upon in the beticul order of the states beginning with the letter A; and the tellers having read ths same in the presence and heuring of the two houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall appe.r from the said cov- tificates, and the votes having been ascertained and counted in the manner provided, the result of the same shall be delivored to the president of tho senate, who shall thereupon annvunce the state of the vote and the names of the per- gons, if any, elected, which announce- ment shall bs deemed a sufficient dec- laration of the persons, if any, elected president and vice president of the United States, and together with a list of the votes be entered on the journuls of the two housoes. The law makes provision for what shall be done in case of objections to a VE. one return from a state, but no difticul- ties of this kind will arise in counection with the count of the eloctoral vote next month, 50 that this final procee ing will pass off as rapidly as the tellers can do their work and us smoothly as any mere routine duty. Thera will be no objections to consider and it 1e not probable that there will ba more than one rotura from any state. It is pers haps fortunate fomtho country that the result of the last presidential election was 80 sweeping that there is no danger of coutentions or controversies regard- ingat. PUBLIC ROAD CONVENTIONS. The state of Minuesota is to have a convention for the purpose of promoting public road improvement. It will be beld at St. Paul on Junuary 25 and 26, The county commissioners of each county will appoint delegates and each sonatorial district will send two dele- gates for every seaator and two for each representative. Fvery county in the state will be represented and the popu- lar intorest in the convention indicates that the people of Minnesota are th oughly aroused on the subject of road improvement. A few months ago there was some talk of u state road improvement conven- tion in Nebraskas, but the movement right to summon before its bar or before | | conventious | other Otherwise legislatures woula | | provement than can be | braska, interests to thwart | fabric of government rests | will | combined cor- | | The un | were ot all times in u condition to | the farmer to haul his producs to mar- | ¢le brought to market would and | found in Bngland of a | | ncts. | influence, | corrupting touch. | of most other | from | bad legislation ing Lo be- cortificates | alpha- | certificate, and also in case of more than | | of the people. soems to have died out on account of a Inck of public interest. No subject is of greater importance to the people ut Inrge, and espacinlly the farmers, than that of public road improvement, but the old systom under which the bad ronds of the prosent day are maintained is 50 deeply vooted that it is difficult to awakon popular interest in & plan which involves n swesping change and alarge outlay of money. Public road have lately been held in several states, and the movement is steadily but slowly growing overy- where. In no state is thero greater need of better highways than in Ne- braska, and it is not eusy to account for the indifference that prevails in this state concerning & matter of so much importance to the agricultural inter: ests, upon the prosperity of which eversy interest is largely dependent N York, Pennsylvania, [llinois, Mis- souri, Iowa, New Jersoy and other states that have taken up the subject an show no better rensons for road 1m- shown in Ne Indeed the need of a new and better systera is more urgent in the western than in the eastern states, The quality of the soilin Nobraska is such that it is absolutely impossiblo to main tain good highweys in this state during tho wet season under tho present sys- | tem. But the benefit to be derived from good roads is by no means con fined to tho farmer. While the condition ronds affects the valus of overy acre of land and the market value of all farmn products, it also affects the interests of | overy city and town that is a market for such products. The comfort and con- venienco of every farmer’s family must depend upon the net profit derived from ising and marketing furm products, and no farmer will deny that the expense of getting his produce to market would be greatly diminished if the roads were in good condition at all seasons of the year, and this, of course. would increase the profits. sfactory fluctuation of v. now prevailing could ulso be in degree done awny with if the roads ullow Tha co: would be ket. amers, on the other hand, beuelited because every arti- be ished in prica.

The subject should be constantly agi- tated, und the conventions called to con- sider it should be continued. this T EVIL OF Governor Russell urges the most stringent treatment by law of the evil of the lobby, 0 us to obviate ils ne: ity, take away its op- vortunity, and give publicity to " Ior several years an enrnest effort has been made in Massachusetts to supp the lobby, which had be- come a grave reproach to the state, and the L of the agitation has baen good. But the governor siys that if not as noturious and scandalous asin the past, tho lobby still exists as a malignant tainting logislation with its HE LOBBY. The expe this evil—for t ence of Masgsanchusetts with that it is a most grave and | serious evil will not be questioned-—has | not been more demoralizing than that stats Eyerywhere the malignant influence of the lobby is felt, the congress of the nation to the legislature of the smallest state, and the amount of harm it does, either in promoting or preventing good is very great. Then its influence is de structive of the integnty legislators. Once having blandishments of of the ame its puppet, the legislator finds his manliness and independence gone und himself the victim of a relentless des- potism which he cannot throw off, This vicious and demoralizing adjunct of every legislative assemby ought to be everywhere suppressed, if it be possible to do so, but cbviously the tasik of doing this is not an easy one, as the case of Mussa- chusetts illustrates, The first condition seems to bo a thorongh awakening of public sentiment against the lobby that will in effcct say to every member of a logislature who ailows himsell to give eur to lobbyists that he will do so at the peril of s public career. No legislator can play with the lobby without being tainted. He may escape its contami- nating wfluence in many directions, but out of its boundless resources it will lobby and be- | find some way to capture und use him if he but linger with it. Theonly sufe course for the legislator who wishes to con- scientiously and faithfully perform his duty to the people is to uvoid the lobby ultogetl.er and to refuse absolutely to hold any nversonai intercourse with Iknown lobbyists, Only in this way ean the legislator with pure intentions safe- guard himsel! against the demor.lizing influence of the men whose business it is | 10 piot for the betrayal of the interests The governor of Massa- chusetts, in his vigorous warfare upon the lobby, sots an example which ought to be ganerally emulated, There should bo » universal movement for the sup- pression of this evil. . A PROPOSITION has been introduced in congress by Senater Frye to croate a commission whose members shall draw $10,000 per annum each and whose duty it shall be to investigate the condition of vhe Union and Central Pacific rail- roads and devise the best scheme for the sottlement of the Pacific railroad debt. Nobody knows better than Senator Frye that the proposed commission would be of no beuefit to anybody excepting the three or five commissioners. They would draw 810,000 apiece and probably take a rotainer of a larger sum on con- dition that they pull through the 2 per cent bond extension scheme which has beon before congross for several sessions. Senator Frye hus beeu a consistent and persistent champion of the Pacific ronds in both houscs of congress for twenty | notony it those of the | dimin- | the ' but simply | are | of Massachusetts | its | and fidelity of | yieided to the | yonrs and ho uum ns woll own up th-n the commissivadr sohemo (s only a sub- terfugo to mkz,un tha consciences of congressmen wio do not dare to support Mr. Frye's faniting bill in its present shape.
