spite of the efforts of Kditor Rose

would not be afraid to bet two to
one that Sheridan voted for that

The statement in the Bee to th
effect that Governor Crouuce has
asked Attorney General Hastings to
resign, or he would file an im
peachinent complaint, is evidently i
a fake. The Governor and Hastings
both deny thatthere has ever been
any such demand made, and further
than that, the governor has no pow

lie so desire. It is very evident
that the menial powers of Kdward

Conservative, successful business
men are inuispensiule mine gov
ernment of a city; men who by in
tuition, experience and sound judg
ment are able to delect fraud and
defend th citizens and their be-
ongings from the ravages of
greedy blood thirsty corporations.
The same essentials are very neces
sary in placing the minis ot Hie
ity where the most benefits will be
ived for the greater number of
its inhabitants. We want men in
the council whose very nature re-
olts at even the semblance of dis
honesty and boodlerism, men who
will rule the city with linn, busi
nesslike methods and who will see
that their just laws are enforced.
The men who are nominated on the
republican ticket, are citizens long
known to you and in whom you
can place your trust and rest as
sured that it will not be violated.
Til EKE is a very strong movement
in tne i am.dian rariiment to re
impose the export duty of $2 per
1IMH) feet on sawn logs exported to
the United States from Canada.
The Canadian lumbermen say the
arrangement works exusively to
the advantage of American lumber
men, who tow the logs across Lake
Huron and Georgian Hay. to be
sawn by American labor in Ameri
can mills. They point to the clos
ing down of saw mills on streams
entering Lake hne and at otlnr
points on the Canadian shore ol
Lake Huron and Georgian Hiy.lt
is estimated that a KM UK MM) feet of
Canadian pine saw logs were towed
over from Georgian Hay ami Lake
Huron districts to stock the Michi
gan saw mills last year an am Jiint
equal to one-half the whole exports
of sawn lumber from Canada and
the I'nited Stales.
The Journal takes exceptions to
the article which appeared in Till:
llEKALD last week in regard to the
manner in which Sheriff Tighe con-
luets the county jail. We have
taken a great ileal of pains the past
week to enquire into the state ol
affairs at the jail and from all that
an be learned, the letter from the
bums is, ii the mam, corrjet.
One of the city officials was asked
as to the cleanliness of the jail and
he said: "I would not keep a Berk
shire hog in such a place, I would
not, for a fact. It is a horrible
place and a disgraieto Cass coun
ty. It would te HKe ueain to me to
be shut up in that hole till the St
teniber term of court. It would
take a man with an iron constitu
tion to stand it." There is no doubt
but that the jail is in bad condition
but the sheriff can compell the
prisoners to keep the place dee.-ntly
clean, as his predecessors have
done. Asregaids the choking and
beating of the two men in an upper
room of the court house, to make
them tell who cut .the lock and
liberated Kyan and Andrews, it
is not denied. One of our bestciti
zens in speaking of the matter says;
"Any olVu'er who will take the
advantage of a prisoner and u
nun in such a oruiai manner is
no better than the man he is
punishing, for the reason that he
dare not strike an officer, therefore
he can not take his own part." We
are informed on good authority
t tat the county commissioners have
given Mr.Tighe some good advice
on thi question since last weeks
issue of The Hkkalu and we
consider il v-iy timely and hope
Mr. Tighe will profit thereby.
Hoi'sK KOI.L 'Xi is at present stuck
in the senaate, but it will now
liKely to go through. House roll X
is a slight modified form of the New
berry bill that created so much
trouble and anxiety amng the
senators two years ago. but passing I
both houses it was vetoed by Gov
ernor Hoyd. There is no doubt
that this had a great deal to do with
making Jim Hoyd one of the politi
cal has-been's of democracy. Had
he signed the bill. as he should two
years ago, he would today be a
greater man in the eyes of his fob
lowers. It proposes a LM per cent
reduction in freight rates. No great
er benefit could be bestowed upon
the state of Nebraska than the pas
sage of this bill. It would bring
more direct benefit to the farming
classes of this state than any other
bill that has been introduced in the
senate for years. "When this bill
ever be placed before Governor
Crounse we venture to say that it
will become fc law directly there
after. Mr. Crounse is a man of good
business ability and will recou tii.e
at once the benefits to be derived,
for the people whom he serves. He
has already committed himself
upon this question, and says if the
senate should pass the bill, lie
feels that he would be beheading
the best interests of his state in ve
toing it.
THE Journal of the last few even
ings has been making a great deal
of noise, (as it suppose?) over the
various candidates for city offices,
but in one breath it foru-'ts its dem-
cratic proclivities long enough to
remark that nothing could be said
against the republican nominees.
A truer statement was never uttered
in the enemies camp, and was a
little more than could hardly be ex
pected under the circumstances.
The mtn that have been nominated
for the council on the republican
ticket, are business men of the
lirst water and have mad'.' a suc
cess in lite. lliey pay a la rife
amount of taxes i.i the citv, and
ire not foolish enough to throw
away Jlu,(M) every year, when there
is nothing to be gained, by declar
ing against the saloons, for they us
well as everybody else knows that
is long as whisky is made it will be
bought. The Journal gets terrible
excited when it gets the idea that
there is a bare possibility that the
saloons will be no more. We can
safely guarantee the Journal that
ihis will not come to pass. To all
who have the interest of the city at
heart, we adjure you to vote for the
republican nominees as long as
there is one in sight and we assure
you, you will never have a bad
taste in your mouth for so doing.
Today we commence on the
thirtieth year of The Herald, In
reality it is the thirty-eighth
year for the paper when first start
ed was called the "Citizen" and rtn
for eight years under that title. The
name was changed to The Hekalp
and the volume was started again
at one; so in reality The Hekali is
thirty eight years old. Think of it,
thirty years; a long time when one
comes to think of the heads that
have ached, the hair that has been
pulled, the ink that has been
spilled and the "devils" that have
been kicked from the office to the
piessrooin, in the effort to think of
something to write for the next
issue. Thirty years ago I'latts
motith was a small town, Omaha
was but a mere village, Nebraska
was yet a territory and the war was
in the last throes of its existance.
Civilization had advanced but a
little within our borders and the
Indians, borders ruffuis and jay
hawkers, held full sway, and the
peace of any community was onlv
kept by the elert watchfullness of
the vigileuce committee. Since that
time the long mellow roar of tin
river boat, has given away to the
sharp shrill whistle ot the loconio
ive, industry has covered ourgreer
fertile praries with thrifty farms,
towns and cities have sprung into
existence, elevators, warehouse
and factories have been erected to
accomodate our productions, awd
civilization has advanced to the
very foot of the Rocky mountains.
rilK llEKALU has watched the
growth of the great t'nion Pacific
Railroad from the time that it was
lirst conceived (which was then
considered one of the seven won
ders of the globe) and has nursed
the republican party from its in
fancy. The Hekalm has watched
Nebraska grow from what was then
called the 'great American Des
ert, to what it is now, one of the
banner states of the union. In the
course of a few weeks . we will re
produce one ot 1 lie nrst issues en
tire, which we think will prove very
interesting to our readers, as it will
be tilled with the old tei ritorial new s
of thirty years ago when the buf
falo and Indians formed the great
er part of the inhabitants.
TllE presidential campaign being
ended, the truth, temporarily obs
cured by the smoke thereof, reap
pears and reasserts itself. No state
ment of the free-trade press is more
frequent than that derived from Kn
glish and French theorists who
wrote half a century ago, which af
firmed tariff duty to be a "tax paid
by the consumer." The Dry Goods
F.conomist echoed this ancient I
falsity as frequently as any of the ;
American free-trade newspapers, '
and being a trade journal, its utter
ances had a weight that did not al '
ways attach to the party press. At '
that the Dry Goods Fconomist was '
more largely dependent on the
New York importers of foreign
goods than it now is. It now has
learned by experience, that truth
which the Inter-Ocean and other
protectionist papers strove to teach
it by precept upon precept that
protection creates industries, stimu
lates production. and makes manu
factured material to be plentiful.
The error of Hastiat was exempli
tied in the assertion that protection
creates scarcity of goods, upon
which ridiculous assumption he
constructed a very plausible argu
ment for free-trade. After some
thing like two ytars,' experience of
the McKiuIey bill, the Dry Goods
liconomist in forced to admit that:
"The change in the tariff on yarns
of a value greater than $1 per pound
from a specific to an ad valorem
duty has, by increasing the duty on
higher grades, encouraged the pro
duction of tine yarns by American
spinners, and we now are produc
ing good, that fornierely were en
tirely imported." This is in con
lirination of the republican asser
tion that the MeKinley bill would
increase the volume of American
manufactures, and in refutation of
the democratic assertion "that
the tariff has added nothing to the
trade, commerce or prosperity of
the country." E'o these American
manufactures, stimulated by the
MeKinley bill, sell at a higherprice
than foreign goods of like qualitjr
We will let the Dry Goods Kcono
mist answer:
"Tho entire problem of the tariff
on cotton fabrics is one that does
not largely interest the consumer.
As we have already stated, our
mills manufacture the lower and
medium grades of all classes of
cotton cloths just as cheeply as
they can be produced by those ot
Kurope, and also many of the
fine qualities, such as cambric
muslins and other plain cloths."
So that the consuin?r does not pay
the tariff duty on goods of this
class. The campaign being brought
to a close, the eternal virtues of
justces assert themselves.
Blount Sails for Hawaii.
Ex-CongreBsmati'liouut, the Ha
waiian commissioner, is carrying
out his program. He arrived in
San Francisco on the overland
train Monday, and was transfered
directly to the revenue cutter Rush,
which in two hours was steaming
through the Golden Gate, headed
for Hawaii. Colonel Blount was
reticent to most of the newspaper
men who crowded on the train to
see him, but to a reporter who had
known him in Washington he talked
freely, and told many things which
have not been printed. He said
that his appointment came through
Congressman McCreary's efforts.
He and Mr. McCieary were on the
House Foreign Affairs committee
when the Hawaiian question came
up. Mr. McCreary was anxious to
get Mr. Cleveland views, and sug
gested that Colonel Blount make a
visit to the president-elect and as
certain whether or not he wanted
the treaty passed. Colonel Blount
confided this mission to Mr. Carlisle
and the reply was that Mr. Cleve
land's advice was to go slow. Col.
Blount's name was mentioned by
Messrs. Carlisle and McCreary, and
that was the way President Cleve
land came to appoint him alter
Blount had left Washington for
home. In regard to his mission
Col. Blount said: "My instructions
are verv indefinate. The gist of
them is that I am to get the senti
ment of both whites and natives on
the islands, and also to torm an
opinion of the advantages of annex
ation. The sentiment of foreigners
I can get at Honolulu, but nativt
opinion must be obtained from the
other islands as well as from Oahu,
on which Honolulu is situated. I
shall spare no pains to give all
sides a hearing, and with a good
interpreter I have no fear that the
natives will not get a fair chance
of making their wants known. My
imprtssion, after a conference with
President Cleveland, is that he sim
ply wants to get the whole truth
and to leave nothing behind which
may cause future trouble should
the islands be annexed. His ideas
I shall carry out to the best of my
ability. It may take two months to
do this, or longer, but I don't antic
ipate any great trouble or delay
that will require me to stay away
six months. 1 he Hawaiian are
s iid to object to the American plan
of hurrying, so it is impossible to
say whether they can be rushed in
a matter like this." Mr. Blount has
the services of a secretary, Kllis
Mills, who is an experienced man
from the state department. The
party, which includes Mrs. Blount,
will lie comfortable on the Rush, as
the cutter has been furnished up,
and the captain has given the
travellers his cabin.

"Fiaster morning came in bright.
beautiful; life seemed full of pleas
ant possibilities on such a day, and
we felt as if the Russian salutation
were more appropriate than any
other: 'Christ is risen!' Christ is in
deed risen!' But, in the rush of
preparation for going to St. Peter's.
in the drive through the Trastevere
filled with the most beautiful wo
men in Rome, over the bridge
flanked on either side b hugh
statues, and past St. Angelo with
the great archangel on the summit,
with crowds of all sorts of vehicles
hurrying to the mighty cathedral,
we forgot about the solemn joyful-
ness of the day, that we were going
to a religious ceremony, to a spec
tacle," writes Sarah Powel, in a
beautifully illustrated paper in the
AdhI New Peterson. "Mass was
sung amid the great pomp of color
and music, the silver trumpets
sounded and it was all over. Then
came a scene that is quite indes
cribable. AIL were rushinir for
rt
places in the grand piazza to see
the benediction. The great doors
were insufficient to let out such a
mass quietly, and our seats were
hemmed in. We had been elbowed.
tripped, pushed, in getting to them
so we sat still waiting with what
little patience we had to be re
leased. Kveryone wanted to reach
the colonnade or the open square;
how was it to be accomplished? At
last, some enterpeising Knglish
woman on the front row of seats
made a spring, and jumped the
railing; a male friend who was
standing below caught her as she
went. Then such a scene It was
like a flock of sheep following the
great bell-wether over the fence;
woman after woman jumped, and
was caught by someone below if
not by a friend, by somebody in
the laughing crowd and a passage
was soon cleared to make way, for
they went down with such force
that it would not have been well
to be beneath them wheu they lan
ded." The following war tory is told of
V. V. Allen, the recently elected
senator of Nebraska: "When nine
years old he was brought to Iowa
and when l. enlisted in Company
G of the H'J Iowa Infantry. An occur
ence that then gave him temporary
fame in the humorous annals of
the war and showed the character
of the coming man. Captain S. P.
Adams of Dubiuje was the muster
ing officer and as he passed down
thelinehe noticed that would-be
private Allen, evidently fearing his
low stature would be noticed, had
slyly scraped up a little mound of
sand with his feet and was stand
ing on it. The lad had a stalwart
form, and Captain Adams gazing at
him admiringly said: "You'll do
my boy. What you lack in wtature
you make up in sand."
Students, librarians and readers
will rejoice to learn that Mrs. Oli-
phant's "Victorian age of Knglish
Literature." which has been looked
forward to with so much interest,
will be reaily for publication by
Tait, Sons a Company, of New York
by the end of the current month.
The two volumes furnish an eiau?
tive history of Knglish Literature
during upwards of half n century
and include an analysis of the
character and writings of fully five
hundred writers, from the time of
Macaulay down to the death of
Tennvsou.
