Tiik Lincoln Journal notices the
Omaha RepuMican lon; enough to any
it has not represented Nebraska either
for ov against the man trom Maine, and
remarks something about an "unrcgeu
erate falseliood" which is to be inter
preted as the olive branch upon the
lilaiue question.
President AnTnuit and part7 went
flyinc through this country not even
deigning to give Mayor Chase and the
city of Omaha a chance to grow great
at his expense. tiIt is ever thsu"
"There is betwixt that sweet smile we
"would aspire to. That sweet aspect of
"princes etc."
Thk Kentucky election came oft yes
terday. Democratic majority about the
same as usual, and Proctor Knott elect
ted Governor by about forty thousand
majority. The vote cast was very
light, very little interest being taken
in the election.
Free lights reported in many locali
ties. .
Cass county farmers report a much
better yield of small grain, when they
come to thresh, than they counted on.
They say the yield is much better than
they estimated it would be; this but
confirms the IIkralp in its belief that
entirely too little attention has been
paid of late years to the cultivat ion of
small grain the river counties of Ne-
braskv.
J he six yenrs term of Chief Justice
Lake, of the Xi brka Supreme Court,
expirpH very won, and his successor iu
to be chosen nt our coming fall election.
Wo hear the names f several gent!.
men mentioned us aspiring fohthat posl
sition and among those the mime of Hon.
M. 11. Itroc, of Suandenr, ronnty. The
.Saunders county Tribnne mmes to our
table with a labored leader in advocacy
of Mr. Keeso particularly inai ked.
The mo6t remarkablo feature of thi
article is its advocacy of this gentle
man on the plea ot "culture.''
The Tribune wants IiTjhrrcnltun upon
the snprnne bench more Iearulng
and more industiy. The plain argu
ment of the article is - that the present
court, as constituted, is an unleurued
and common-placo; tribunal; hence;
that journal bases Mr. Howe's claim to
recognition entirely upon the superior
culture, learning and industry, he will
bring to the bench in case he should be
chosen to Succeed Justice Lake. - The
plea of the Tribune is uiodctaly made,
and will doubtless advance the cause of
that gentleman irninennely. A man
learned in the lore of his profession,"
is what the Tribune oilers the supreme
bench. Then we will have discussion,
reasoning, research. Then "the want
of energy and lack of desire to excel,"
will be remedied, acd "the infusion of
younger, more ambitious" blood, will
be supplied. The Saunders county bar
is to be congratulated for coining to the
rescue of the State at large with the
very article to supplj'. the Tribune's
long felt want. Next!
The Lincoln Democrat says we arc
aDoloeists for the Boss Stout contract
lettiHg the Boarl of Public Lanie, &c
we understand, think we are reflecting
upon that board of officials, and in the
meantime we were felicitating ourself
with the well grounded hope we were
on the fence waiting the facts, and we
hereby give notice we do not propose to
apologize f r anybody in this matter,
but are willing to -await the decision of
the courts upon it.
Republican papers over in Iowa,
find such a scarcity of opposition in
the ring since the campaign opened,
they are proceeding, according to the
rules governing contests in the manly
art, to have several friendly sets too.
The State Register seems to be
calling all the disgruntled brethren to
a reckoning, and several of these riot
overly pleased, journals with the State
platform, are cheerfally putting on the
gloves. It won't do any harm, they may
be making a good deal of back shed
noise over there, but it only means an
increase in tl3 Republican majorities
next fall. .
It is perhaps well enough .to never
borrow trouble, but wait until we get
to the stream before worrying, too
much, about how we are going to get
over it; among republican journals, the
Pennsylvania Republicans have been
criticised freely on account of the reso
lution engratted in the platform of the
party of that state in regard to a dis
tribution of surplus revenues, when
such :in occasion does arise in this
country among the several states of the
Union, to be applied to the relief of the
citizen from local taxation, the . idea
generally expressed is, that we are yet
a good ways off from that, point, and
until the national debt is cleaned up, it
is nonsense to declare as a party meas
ure upon that question, Hut the dem
ocratic party are loud in their condem
nation of that plan aud the democracy
of Pennsylvania are "alarmed" "point
with alarm" to it; at least one would
think so by reading the platform of
that party upon that question.
The democratic party bhould not go
into tantrums over this plan, it has dem
ocratic authority in its favor and was
once, (in 1836) good old democratic
doctrine; advocated by John C Cal
houn during President .Jackson's ad
ministration, and when this country
had practically no public debt. It was
called a "Deposit." Mr. Calhoun cham
pioned a measure to appropriate the
surplus money in the U. S. treasury,
January 1, 1837, amounting to about
838,000,000 by "depositing" the same
among the different states according
to their population. The states to give
certificates paj able to. the United States
in return. It was in the shape of a
loan to the States, to be used as they
saw fit; and to be returned when called
for by congress, to meet appropriations
made by that body. It was a popular
democratic doctrine, and passed the
Senate with only four votes against it,
and the house by a vote of 155 for and
38 against. It was a bungling measure
but it was good old democratic doc
trine nevertheless and warmly approv
ed of by Andrew "Jackson. The Penn
sylvania republicans, however, propose
a much more sensible and practical
plan. When tte occasion does arise
they propose this surplus f-hall be paid
back to the people of the states to be
applied to the relief of the burdens of
local taxation, it is not a new - invention
and especially our democratic brethren
should not."point to it wit It. alarm." -

The Pennsylvania Democrat a resolv
ed to "uphold the sanctity of personal
liberty." This is well as far as it goes.
Cut why did not the convention go on
and uphold the sancity of the multi
plication table and the equator? When
a Committee on Platform has - nothing
in the, world to say it invariably pro
ceeds to uphold the sancity , of some
thing, that ' is in no possible danger
from any source, being upheld by; the
irresistible force of public sentiment.
A platform. without a platitude is a re
freshing exception to the general rule.

The report of the Treasury Cattle
Commission famishes gratifying proof
of the entire absence of the foot-and
mouth disease among the herds of this
country. The injustice of the recent
statements made in the British Parlia
ment to the effect that cattle infected
with the disease were being shipped
from American ports is shown fiom
the fact that no authenticated cases of
the disease have ever been known here,
excPDt such as were traceable to the inl-
portltion of Enlish caltte.: The dis
ease was nrst Drougnc to uanaaa uom
England in 1S71. and then found its
way across-the border. Owing to the
vigorous measures taken by the Amcri'
can authorities, it was soon stamped
out. Since then the other importa
tions of the disease have occurred, but
the infection did not extend to Ameri
can herds. Cattle, however, shipped to
England ' in the same vessels that
brouht fhelnfectlon here were attacked
with the disease, and tqia gave rise to
the statements made in in the .Kngltsb
Parliament about American cattle.
For England to forbid the importation
of American cattle on such erouuds
would be both foolish and unjust. N.
