being made applicable not only to as

A foreigner landing in . this country,
and esiecially a foreigner who absolves
himself by oath ffoin all allegiance to
foreign powers and assume the functions
of American citizenship, mutt conform
himself to the laws of the United States.
And it is part of that law that no resi
dent or citizen shall conspire against the
peace and welfare of a foreign natioa
ith which this country has amicable
relations. Sympathy with the cause of
home rule for Ireland is well enough,
but conspiracy to molest or disturb any
European Government or to endanger
the life or property of any of its citizens
is an act in contempt of the authority of
the United States. It is high time that

A special dispatch from Victoria,
British Columbia, to a newspaper in Mon

state of great excitement, consesqently
upon an order received by the fleet to
sail for Behring sea on june 15. The
fleet consists of the. Swift. Sure. Am-
nhian and Defender. The Amphian is a

So it turns out that the Plattsmouth
schools are on the accredited list of the
State University after all, and are likely
to remain there. Will The Herald kind
ly make amends by telling the truth.
Journal.
The Journal evidently tries to make
out The Herald has lied, but it has not.
The Herald has claimed all along that
Plattsmouth was on the accredited list,
we went so far as to give the number of
the page it could be found on. in the
catalogue, The Herald only claimed
that it did not rightfully belong there.
' We were shown a letter yesterday, that
stated that Prof. Drummond knew whit
the requirements were and tbtt he could
bring our schools up to the grade re
quired, that he had promised to do so,
therefore Plattsmouth would remain on
the accredited list This goes to show
that The Herald was right in its state
ment that our schools were not np to the
requirements aiid The Herald would
like to see them brought up to the proper
standard.
This same promise was given three
years agj. "Why were not our schools
brought up to this standard before now ?
MEMORIAL DAT.
Again Memorial Day has come and
gone. The swift round of time, repeat
iuff the sweet lesson of love and frater
nity, of charity aed forgiveness, that the
nation is slowly learning, is the herald ef
its future glory. A change of sentiment
in the observance of the day has
gradually come with the pissing year.
The day that was originally dedicated to
sorrow by the thousands who brought
their flowers to place upon the graves of
the soldier dead, were not without bitter
ness in the grief of personal loss. Wives
and mothers, sisters and sweethearts,
fathers and brothers, went with minds
tilled with the thoughts of a vacant place
in the family circle. The grave on
which the flowers were placed, was treat
ed as the last resting place of the lost
son or brother, not as the honorable
mound of some dead hero.
From those silent mounds the voice
of experience speaks to every listening
heart; felt not heard. It speaks of
.dangers past and of duties at hand.
Instead of the futile rebellion is the
moral revolution.
The soldiers of the Union did not die
in vain. The work they did lives after
them in greater victories than were won
on the battle-field where vast armies
bloodily engaged.

COLLECTED OS THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE
HOND QUESTION BY THE BOARD OF TRADE
AND ADDDESSED TO THE VOTERS
Plattsmotth, Neb., May 15, 18S9.
The county commissioners of Cass county
having called an election to vote for or
against issuing $S0,000 twenty-year court
house bonds, we desire to lay the actual
facts before every property owcer and
voter in the county, relying upon thei
intelligent consideration of the same in
casting their vote at the coming election
June 8th, 18S9.
The total bonded indebtedness of the
county is $100,000, These are the rail
road bonds, and the interest has been paid
as it accrued. The principal is due $20,
000 in June of each of the years of 1890
91-92-03-94. Cash in the sinking fund
to pay these bonds is now $50,000, and
sufficient cash in the other funds to pay
all current expenses. So the real indebt
edness of the county is only $.0,000 at
the present time-
Total valuation county, 1Ss8, $4,743,779;
Valuation of Plattsmouth
City and Precinct $1,287,191
Eighty thousand dollars at 5
per cent will cost annually, .... $4,000,
Nine-tenths of one mill on the
total valnation will raise $4,267,
More than sufficient to pay the interest
on the bonds.
The average valuation on eighty acres
of land in the county as shown by the
records is about $450. so that the owner
of ticrhtv acres wo- Id have to pay a
court house tax of about 40 cents, or less.
each year. These figures are based on
the 1888 assessment. The valuation will
be greater in 1889, by possibly $300,000,
and will increase largely each succeeding
year.
We believe that a new court house
should be built, not only for the sake of
building the same in our city but for the
protection of the records of the county
clerk, county treasurer, county register,
county judge and the clerk of the dis
trict court, in all of which records almost
every farmer and land owner in the
county is vitally interested.

Rheumatic Syrup Co,, Jackson, Mich:
Gents: Your Mr. Brocks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Hi fa
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did
so it awakened in me an interest neyer
before realized in a guest at my house.
You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu
matism, the pain and soreness of the
joints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about onlv with the aid of
crutches.- In addition to this my stomach
became badly diseased,- and neuralgia 6et
in, which threatened to end my day. A
traveling man stopping with me gye
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced me to try it. I have taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
I Hiii a well man.
It will be a pleasure for me to answer
any communications, lor i oeueve it io

France Enipie, Jonepliiue.
Martinique Is a garden of romantic
beauty, extending from the edge of the
pretty harbor to tho foot hills of the
mountains, and looks like a fragment of
France gone astray. Every building is
of venerable stone, antique in structure,
large and roomy and windowed by deep
jalousies. Tho heavy tile roofs overhang
the sills liko tho eyebrows of man, and
are covered with silvery mosses and
trailing vines.
The 6treets are nearly all paved with
Belgian blocks, and sparkling water
rushes down tho middlo of each in the
gutter, toward which tho pavement
Elopes.
LIFE ON THE ISLAND.
Everybody lives out of doors. The
harbor is skirted by a wide boulevard,
shaded by palm trees and furnished with
iron seats, where the populace gather in
tho evening and chatter liko magpies.
During the day the women sit in the
gardens, and at night sleep in hammocks
under the verandas, except in the rainy
season, when they keep their houses.
There is no glass in tho windows, and
not a chimney in the place. All the
cooking is done in charcoal stoves, or
upon shelves of stone liko a blacksmith's
forge.
On an eminence overlooking the town
stands a statue of tho Blessed Virgin, like
a protecting guardian, benignant and
serene, I here are somo lino churches
and one old cathedral that is worth a
visit. The people are mostly Catholics,
but there is a large colony of Jews en
gaged in banking and trado.
Tho town of Fort do France, which
was known as tort Koyal during the
time of the empire, is tho seat of the
government, whero the lieutenant gov
ernor lives and commands a garrison of
300 or 400 colored soldiers. It is about
twenty miles from St. Pierre and has
10,000 inhabitants, but the latter place
is tho commercial capital and the fash
ionable residence. The blacks and whites
live together as brothers and sisters of
tho common family, often Intermarry
ing. Many of the colored families are
wealthy and aristocratic, and send their
children abroad to be educated.
The upper class wear the latest French
fashions and livo with considerable com
fort; but the colored women of the com
mon class, as elsewhere in the tropics,
are clad in a single garment of cotton,
without any particular design of con
cealing or exposing their anatomy.
They load themselves with a large
amount of jewelry of peculiar designs,
and on Sunday and feast days get them
selves up in a most elaborate and out
landish manner, men and women both
rivaling the plumage of the birds in the
myriad colors they assume. There are
no poor, no almshouses, no asylum for
tho indigent.
interesting particulars.
The women of Martinique carry their
babies in a peculiar manner by placing
them astride of tho left hip and strap
ping them there by broad slings of vl.lh
Martinique has a population of 154,0' '!.
of which 12,000 are white. 30.000 of
mixed blood and the remainder colored.
The island is covered with fields of su
gar cane, mostly cultivated by tho
women, while the men do the heavier
labor in the sugar mills and in the har
bor. There aro no carriages or carts.
but the women and donkeys are tho com
mon carriers.
There is a good opera house where
performances aro often given by local
talent, and once in a while an opera or a
play by a company from France. One
of tho most beautiful parks in the world
is known as the Place Bertin, where
there is a magnificent fountain of bronze,
a graceful water nymph, fourteen feet
high, bearing upon her head a basket,
from tho rim of which jets of water flow.
In August tliis fountain exhibits what
to strangers is a most amazing pheno
menon, spouting myriads of little fishes
about as large as whitebait, with bodies
as transparent as crystaL lhese are
called titire, and come from the moun
tain streams with which the fountain is
fed. In the month of August they 6tart
for the sea and are caught bv the pipes
that feed tho fountain. The people, ex
pecting them, come down with baskets,
scoop them up, and, taking them home,
fry them in oil, when the make most de
licious morsels.
Martinique wa3 the birthplace of the
Empress Josephine, whose family still
livo near Fort de France, and their old
home, a little one story house, is Btill to
be seen. In the center of that little city
a magnificent 6tatue of white marble was
erected to her memory by the late Em
peror Napoleon IIL Josephine was the
daughter of Joseph Gaspard Tacher de la
Pagerie, a lieutenant of artillery, and at
16 married Alexander de Beauharnais.
Ha wa3 only 19, and after a few years of
married life in France the young couple
were separated, and Josephine returned
to her parents at Martinique. In 1794
Beauharnais died on the guillotine, and
two years afterward Josephine was mar
ried to Napoleon. The empress was di
vorced, and died in 1809. The people of
Martinique revere her like a saint. Cor.

The Newspaper Deatjbeat.
A newspaper deadbeat is one of the
nuisances the restaurant patron has to
contend with. Let a man sit down to
the table with tho daily paper, and there
is always some one near who is watching
for an opportunity to get his news for
nothing. As soon as the paper is laid on
the table it is instantly captured with a
suave "bog pardon," and the chance for
he man who had purchased his paper to
gather the news as he enjoys the meal if
lost. Courtesy or ordinary politeness
prevents a gentleman from resenting such
on imposition, and as a consequence there
is nothing to' do but gracefully submit.
