Thb tenth newspaper priuteed in Cass
county was born Inst week at the pros
perous yillage of Eagle. Sam English

Lkmasteks and a few other prominent
democrats, re trying to crowd McClin
tick off the Senatorial race track, so that
Leniasters miglit get the solid democratic
support. It is a great scheme, but
McClintic says he is not raking chest
nuts for somebody else this year. The
very fact that Lemasters is urging this
kind of a deal, oughtto be a prointer
for republican alliance men.
The democratic party true to its his
toric practice of blundering, has finally
arrayed itself against reciprocity as be
ing the Drop:r policy to be observed be
tween nations friendly in their commer
cial dealings with uuo another. With
that party it is never a question of the
welfare and advancement of the nation
but rather a studied opposition to the
republicans. When reciprocity became
a policy of the prty of progress it was
not a question of party duty patriotical
ly considered but opposition to the poli
cy of the party that has always been the
protector of the nations honor and repu
tation that j liced democracy against re
ciprocity. This was one of the prime
causes of the democratic rout in Maine
and Wyoming and will continue to be
its Waterloo until it ceases to i,be the
party of obstruction solely on party
grounds.
Plattsmouth will be full of live re
publicans tomorrow. W e will have with
us the representatives of the first con
gressional district, who represent repub
licanism and who will speak for the
party on this occasion. With these gen
tlemen will come Mr. Connell and a
host of his warm personal admirers, to
witness a rousing endorsement at the
hands of his party, which he is sure to
receiye. With these will come gentle
men able, and nu;hoiized to speak for
the party, wi " 'tl express the ratifica
tion and grati ligation of the party over
the work of Mr. Connell and his party
during the present session of congress.
There will be no doleful howl over the
condition of the country. There will be
no "views with alarm" and abuse of
American institutions and policies since
the administration of American affairs
came into the hands and keeping of the
old republican party. Let the republi
cans of Plattsmouth and vicinity turn
out and join the procession and listen to
the wholesome councils of those who
will give us good and patriotic advice
on that occasion. It will be the opening
of the campaign in this district, and
from tomorrow night until the polls
close in November, the republicans of
the old 'fust' will be in the field.

L. D. Richards, your next governor
stands squarely on the republican plat
form. The amendment question does
not bother him, as it is not a party issue.
Republicans are permitted to vote for, or
against the amendment without their
party fealty being called in question.
John L. Webster is a whole republi

hundred people, as more than that
number would like to hear him discuss
the question of Republicanism ys. de

is plain. . It is to stand by the nominees
of our ticket, state and county. It don't
pay to be always working for the enemy
or some man upon the ticket which rep
resen ts policies and principles or do not
i ndorse in every way the nominees of
our state ticket, which deserves the
support of a united party. Let Repub

vote for the men and principles of their
party.

At Plattsmouth, Mr. Blaine would be

YOU WILL COME TO IT.
Poor old democratic party you
catch up with the times if we will
give you more time. It will take
however and lots of it. You will
will
only
time
have
to go through the usual period of demo
cratic incubation. The country will
first have to experience the blessings of
Mr. Blaine's statesmanship. Reciprocity
with the Latin American states will have
to be the settled policy of this country
for some years before you will come
around, aa you certainly will, and en
dorse that policy of international trafic
with the weaker powers with whom we
trade. Then you will parade it in -jour
pnrty platforms and claim it was always
a pet theory with democratic statesmen;
going back to Thomas Jefferson to prove
it. You will come to it yet but it will
be some tim-j. You know that the war
was a failure, That specie payments
could neyer be brought about without
producing total bankruptcy, That the
the homestead laws were a black repub
lican artifice to injure the man who
wanted to work, That human slayery
was a diyine institution, That we had
no power to coerce a seceeding state when
it was kicking down the doors of this
American union, That all and singular
the reconstruction acts, the constitution
al amendments, and in fact eyery wise
aud patriotic measure of statesmanship
adopted by the republican party and
formulated as a part of the government,
has according to the democratic party, at
the time of the adoption of each new
measure been denounced as unconstitu
tional, sectional and against the liberties
of the people only in after years to be
taken up by that same party. Yes you
know you will come to it, reciprocity,
protective tariff, silver legislation and
all.
Tee business failures f the country,

going to the dogs.
John L. Wfbster was c: lied cut last
evening about eleyen o'clock and with a
force pecu':a ly his own, he nailed the
democratic nominees f) the wall and
dissected the democratic platform, show
ing its foibles and inconsistencies in a
very impressive manner. Mr. Webster
is an orator of great force, and clean
convincing logic, h;s weight will be felt
all over the state, during the campaign,
and we decry no one when we say that
boa equal cannot be found in all Ne -braaka.
The court house bond case will prob
ably be argued in the supreme court the

W. J. Connell's unanimous nomina
tion last night was a handsome tribute
to an able man whose record is unassailable.
The democrats are all howling today
about the waving ol the bloody ihirt
last night. If the democrats would sop
their political murders in the south, the
shirt would nol get bloody.
In accepting the nomination for a
second term in congress last evening at
theOperallouse iD this city, Mr. Connell
delivered a masterly review of the polit
ical situation. He also took occasion to
state his personal opinion on many of
the burning questions of the hour that
we vouchafe will be en rapport with the
yeomanry of the great first district.
Governor L. D. Richards showed
himself the solid substantial business
man that he is, in his impressive speech,
before the congressional convention.
He convinced his hea ers, if any there
were who dubted, that every atribute
of an honest safe capable executive were
possessed in a most eminent degree by
the Hon. L. D. Richards.
Tom Majors, the brave clashing hero
of Fort Donaldson, is close to the hearts
of the people; his ringing address was
in keeping with whatjcould have been
expected from the gallant Major of the
old first Nebraska, and the manner in
which his fifteen hundred hearers receiv
ed and applauded his every sentence,
furLished abundant proof of his stand
in this community.
TnE Canadians are becoming more in
terested in annexation than they haye
ever been ' i the past. It is no longer
uson to the crown to mention such a
thing, and the newspapers are discussing
the advantages of a place in the union
with vigor. The Quebec Telegraph
calls attention Jo the fact that Ontario
and Quebec have no interests in common
with the Canadian northwest and British
Columbia and it is a great injustice to
the farmers in the west to be obliged to
buy their goods in Toronto or Montreal
when they can buy for less money nearer
home, in St. Paul, Minneapolis, San
Francisco or Chicago. It declares that
with the stars and stripes floating over
Canada, American capital would flow in
trade would revive with a bound, and
tne provinces would become as prosper
ous as any of the states of the great Amer
ican republic. The Telegraph is confi
dent that annexation will be the salvation
of the country. Lincoln Journal.
The campaign guns opened Saturday
evening all along the line in republican
Nebraska and now the poor farmer will
have a relief from the first twaddle of
the Alliance statesman who are going
around tiie co":-iry advocating
a Jim Crow plan of loairug the govern
ment money, to the farmer who owns
oae hundred and sixty acres of land.
We happen to know that there are at
least eight of ton farmers in this county
belomc'tig to tho Alleanee, who are to
sens"bl and w ' 'nfoimed to swallow
any such doctrine. They.' are mither
fools, fiatis s, nor communists. It is tne
old, educated, and paper lined green
backer, who shouted so loudly some
yea s 'ro that resumption of specie pay
ment would contract ihe currency and
lock up a1! the money in the country,
des i o .e cre!: ad play the devil
generally, that formulated the people's
platform'and saddled it onto the Alli
ance. The Alliaace, that is the honest
majority of it, does not endorse any such
wildcat bus:nc".
Consumption
Ballard's Horeaound Syrup.
No single disease has played such tad havoc wita
. hnmsn race a Consumption. No other disease
approaches so stealthily. Its early symptoms are ig
nored because it is thought only a Cold or hacking
Cough, which is neglected until this gnm monster has
such a hold that nothing but death can relieve it.
Ballard's Horehound Syrup has removed the grip of
this grim monster from many a throat. If taken in
time it will etteci a pennaotui iure, uu u
stages it will give surprising relief. Try its soothing
tad healiaa virtues. Do not put it off until too late.

ANOTHER POCAHONTAS.
AN ALASKAN VERSION OF THE JOHN
SMITH ROMANCE.
Ah Wlnff, m Chines Cook, l Cast Away,
Rescued by Indiana, and Is Being; Fat
tened for the Pot, When an Indian
Maiden Saves Hli Life.
Pocahontas has been outdone by an
Alaskan maiden. John Smith was only
in danger of having hia brains spattered
over the Burrounding real estate when
Pocahontas rescued him with her love.
The John Smith of Alaska was not only
in danger of being killed, but of being
eaten, when the woman in whose eyes
be found favor saved him.
The Alaskan John Smith was not a
titled explorer when he fell into the
hands of the navies, nor wa9 his name
John Sm:th. ' He was only a common,
yellow skinned sea cook. His name is
Ah Wing, r.n there ia nothing attract
ive about mm. He is about as homely
a mixrnrt of Chinaman and Malay pi
rate as could be found in a day's walk.
His Pocahontas answers to the name of
Julie just now, but nobody knows what
her Indian name was. She in a long
way of being Pocahontas' equal in
beauty, and the Si wash features of gen
erations were consolidated when her
face was made. Still the romance ia
there.
Ah Wing and Julie, now Mrs. Ah
Wing, arrived here on a codfish schooner
several months since, but have not gone
into society, yet. They reside on Ross
alley, in Chinatown, and submitted to
an interview. They only submitted to
it, the' did not take part in it, and when
rt came to securing the story of their
love the reporter was obliged to obtain
his information from a third party, to
whom Wing had confided it in explana
tion of his off color bride.
SAVED BY JULIE.
Ah Wing some nine years ago was a
cook in the employ of the navy depart
ment, and was shipped north on the
Jamestown. While on the Sitka station
Wing's time expired or he deserted just
which is not quite plain and shipped
aboard a whaler. The whaler was
wrecked and Wing was cast upon an in
hospitable ice floo. Julie was the daugh
ter of a chief of a tribe of Indians, and
while hunting with her father discov
ered Ah Wing, who was as near dead
from starvation, cold and exposure as it
was possible for him to be and retain
life. For days and days Julie nursed
him. and he finally recovered to find
himself the object of a great deal of at
tention on the part of the Indians. They
could eprak no Chinese or English, and
Wing hud no comprehension of their
dialect. He was at a loss to understand
the solicitude with vvliich they fed him,
and the interest th y took in wiitching
the ac cuinulation of tat on his ribs. At
last the horrid truth davmed npon him
at least so he says. They were going
to barbevue and eat him.
He attempted to escape, but was
captured and returned to the village and
put under guard. . The fatal day arrived,
wing was informed by pantomime that
an incision would be made in his neck
and Iris life fluid alJovt-d to escape into
a soapstone basin. He gave all up for
lost, when he was inspired by the sight
of Julie in tears. He made love to her.
She comprehended and went to ask
papa. The old chief was fond of his
daughter and could refuse her nothing,
ile issued an edict against baking Wing.
The remainder of the village protested,
and the chief was obliged to state why
he desired the stranger's life preserved.
The objectors gave in, and Wing and
Julie were married in Indian style.
Wing lived with the tribe for some
time, bnt never became very popular,
f ie was not much of a hunter, and pre
ferred to lie around the house, sewing
with the women, to chasing polar bears,
walruses, seals and the like.
Finally he had a chance to escape. A
boat's crew came in from a schooner to
trade for skins Their cook was dead,
and Wing begged them to take him
away with them. Wing's father-in-law
gave him leave of absence for three
months and sent J ulie along with him
to insure his return.
MIXING THREE LANGUAGES.
They sailed away, and after much
marine wandering and transferring from
one vessel to another, arrived in San
Francisco. Wing had a taate for the
needle and secured a job at tailoring.
The faithful Julie proved an adept and
shares Wing's labors. They still find
some difficulty in conversing. Wing
knows a few words of English and a few
of Indian. Julie knows a few of En
glish and a few of Chinese.
When their discussion becomes ani
mated they resort to all three languages
at once, and the talk is very exciting.
There is a little Wing now. and he is
learning all three languages.
Their home is on the top floor of aJRoss
alley tenement, where Julie is rapidly
being converted into a Chinawoman by
ner fellow lodgers. She is quiet at all
rimes, and is presumably mourning for
the freedom of her native snow fields.
She does not go out, because the noise
and the bustle of the streets frightens
ner. Wing's leave of absence has long
since expired, but in the confines of
civilization he has become the master,
and has no intention of returning to the
land of his wife's people.
The story has been pretty well authen
ticated, with the exception of the inten
tion of the Indians to eat Wing after
killing him. His own countrymen do
not believe this part of his story, but
Wing adheres to it stoutly, and the
strongest tie between him and his wifa
is hia gratitude to her for saving him
from such a fate.
Voyagers to tho far north state that
they have heard of cannibalism among
the Indiana, but it has always been at
tributed to isolated instances of starva
tion's necessity, and not habit. San
Francisco Examiner.

A Herald reporter interviewed Mr.

disappointed in not getting the chairs

from the manufacturers, 6aying that it is
impossible to get the chairs ready to
ship before about Oct. 5th or 10th.
When the chairs come, Mr. W. will put
