Entered at the postofllce at Plattsmouth, Ne braska, aa second-class matter. THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1S95. That dollar a bushel wheat does not seem to be as far away as it did some time ago and In the race silver seems to hare got lost. The Lincoln Daily Call, the news paper formerly owned by II. M. Uush nelJ, has joined the silent majority Inabilities, SIG.OOO; assets 53,000. Wages are advancing, factories are starting up, bonds, stock and all se curities are showing an equal tendency and business generally throughout the country is improving. Fremont is to have another eveuing paper just one more than is necessary. It would be much better if the people gava more encouragement to the two dallies they now have. The Herald and Tribune are all that Fremont need. The Fremont Herald says: The re publican papers in Nebraska that are making the greatest roar over the counting out of Evans in Tennessee are the ones which maintain a chilly silence when Governor Boyd was de prived of his seat in this state. With the farmers all at work, with good prospects for a bountiful harvest, with all nature in her bright garb of spring and with a fairly good business our merchants and citizens can afford to atop talking about the hard times we have had, and talk of the good times we are going to have. The frost which proved so disas trous in the north and east a few days ago did no noticeable injury in Ne braska. Her crops at this time are in splendid condition and with ample moisture will yield in abundance The Lord willing, Nebraska will be able to give back the donations received with large interest. Thjc editor of the Nebraska City News evidently believes that it is ridiculously funny that there is evi dences of coal to be found in Cass county. He never loses an opportunity to make sarcastic references to our coal mining industry, and even flip pantly dubbed our county official base ball club "coal miners." If half we read about the twenty- fourth session of the Nebraska legisla ture is true and we have no doubt it Is that body is not only dead, but it has the foulest smell about it that ever offended the nostril of man. Although many of the legislators are honest and tried to do what their constituents aemanaea ana expected, they were misled by the lobbyists. Governor Holcohb has authorized the statement that he has been advised by the state relief committee that the wants of the people of the drouth stricken portions of Nebraska have been supplied to such an extent that further contributions from sources out side the state are unnecessary. He acknowledges on the part of the people gratitude for evidences of kindly in terest which have come from almos every state in the union. Newspapers are run on business principles the same as any other legiti mate business calling. The merchan advertises because it pays. The people subscribe for a paper to get the news Very few people take a paper because it agrees with them in politics or rellg ion. The time when people subscribe for a paper to keep it alive has passed It should have never been. News paper men should be business men and their publication , must be worth the money before they succeed. There appears to be a feeling among those conversant with asylum affairs that Governor Ilolcomb Intends to resort to force to secure the retire ment of Dr. Hay as superintendent. It is very much to be heped that this is a misapprehension. The governor has not yet manifested any symptoms of bloody bridleism," and Is not sus pected of the slightest taint of it. There is little probability that the war like adjutant general will ever be called upon to marshal the state militia to-storm the battlements of the insane hospital. "THE JOURNAL." The ultimatefate of The Journal newspaper publication will be decided on Monday next, May 27th, when the good will, plant and fixtures complete will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, by the agent for the mortgagees. Just what disposition will be made of the newspaper no man kuoweth, as it will depend entirely upon the result of the sale, but it is quite reasonable to suppose and pre dict that its publication will be con- inued without missing a single issue, and that all subscribers who have paid for their papers in advance will be credited for the entire time covered by such payment, and that all the parties whose names are on the subscription ist will continue to be served with the paper each week. Worthier Official Honda. rapUMoii Times. The Hill case serves as auother illus tration of the folly of making public servants give bond for faithful per formance of public duty. Not ten per cent of public stealings has ever been recovered by the stae of Nebraska from the bondsmen of public thieves. In most states the situation is similar, hough not so bad. The testimony in the Hill case showed that the people had paid into the public treasury a vast sum of money, and that in some manner it was diverted from proper channels, and ultimately lost. Same- bo Jy stole that money ; somebody should be required to pay it back again. The aw on the books says Hill and his bondsmen should make good the loss, but a jury, aided by learned lawyers, Muds flaws in the bond, and everybody escapes responsibility. There is but one remedy. Official bonds should never be exacted from a public servant. That man whom the people call to serve them should bo placed in office with his word of honor alone as a bond, and when he betrays his public trust he should die like a dog. Bar barous? Yes, perhaps, and yet withal better for the people and better for their servants. Long years under laws whiah place a premium upon theft have made honesty in public cflice a vice and dishonesty a virtue. It is time to change front and place the premium upon the good rather than upou the evil. Tue Dell telephone monopoly has just scored a decisive victory in the court of appeals, which reverses the decision of the circuit court in the matter of declaring the Berliner patent invalid. The action was one begun by the government, which claimed that the patent was void because of the fact that there was illegal delay in its issue and because there was a prior patent covering the same invention. The lower court was evidently con vinced that the government had sus tained its position, and its decree declared the patent to be void because the telephone company bad permitted and secured delay to the extent of about fourteen years between the date of application and the date of issuance of the patent. Upon what ground the court of appeals bases its findings has not yet been made known, but the effects of its decision will be to give the telephone monopoly a renewed grip on the people. It is a remarkable fact that in almost every case in recent years where any corporation or aggre gation of capital is a party to a suit in the federal court it has received the decision. Whether this is due to the fact that they secure "the best legal talent in the land or because of a bias of the courts is not known, but it is certain that a very well defined public sentiment is forming to the effect that the forum of the people is rapidly de generating into the refuge of the cor porations. In this era of low prices one article of general Droduction on the farm stands forth a deception. The average wholesale price of apples in New York for the past season was $4.60 a barrel. Thus a barrel of good apples was worth the same as seven and a half bushels of wheat. If it be remarked that the apple crop of last year was unusually short, the fact may be cited that apples in the season of 1892-93 brought $2 50 a barrel at wholesale in New York, and this price is the equiva lent of more than four bushels of wheat. The farmer who is not look ing after his orchard in these times, enriching and extending it, is missing what seems to be his best opportunity. No glut of fine apples need be feared; large quantities of American apples are demanded in London, the price for No. 1 ranging from $5 to $8 a barrel. The fast ocean steamers make special provisions for the fruit, and shipments of 8,000 barrels on one steamer is on record. While the English prize most our Newtons, Pippins, Northern Spys, Baldwins und Russets, they have learned the value of all good varieties, and shipments now begin as early as August. A well flavored, red-skinned apple is the favorite with the English masses. The sight of a neglected orchard on a farm lis woeful evidence of a business misunderstood. J. D. Calhoun believes that the way to settle the silver question, so far as the democratic party is concerned, is to select delegates to the state con vention upon that issue. Let every county choose delegates to the state convention upon an explicit pledge on one side or the other. Then let the majority of each state convention select delegates to the national convention who are bound with equal distinctness. Let us have no shilly-shallying about it. Let the next convention decide fullv and completely for the gold stan dard or for the coinage of stiver at the present ratio. Let us have no more double-barreled platforms to be interpreted in any fashion that suits the interpreter. If the majority of the party favors the single gold stan dard let us know it iu a plain direct and honest way; or if it favors free coinage at lfi to 1, let it be stated in terms that cannot be mistaken. Tiik attorney general has decided to start a school out at the penitentiary. There are undoubtedly men in the peni tentiary who are detlcieut in mental attainments, but it will be entirely unnecessary to go outside of the peni tentiary to secure talent competent to teach them everything they are quali fied to learn. With the unequalled educational facilities afforded everyone iu this country there is little ground for the assumption that ignorance is to any large degree responsible for crime. Some of the worst characters to be found in the penitentiary are educated men and those who are ignorant ate generally men into whom the severest prison discipline would never drill an intelligent idea. Perhaps the experi ment may prove of great beueflt to the state and to the convicts, but there is plenty of room to doubt it. Lincoln just at present is iu the throes of mental and financial anguish and all because its financiers have been unmercifully duped by V. M. Croan. This man Croan soiuh years ago estab lished a business school at Shenandoah, receiving a good bonus with which to erect the buildings, but some five years ago these buildings burned. Then came Lincoln's opportunity uud she gave Croan a large bonus t-- come to that city and start his school, lie came, he Htartrd hi school ami the vivid picture he drew of the school In duced many to invest in Hawthorne property, out of which they realized not a cent. Well, Croan lias received a proposition to go to Anderson, Ind., and start a similar school and that is why Lincoln is iu the dumps. The people realize bow nicely they were taken in and that is why they kick. President Cleveland has signed the order opening the Kick ;t poo reser vation for settlement but the Wirhltn, Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reserva tions will not be opeued this year. There are only 200,000 acres in the Kickapoo reservation. If the white settlers could occupy every acre and their holding divided into Hi acre tracts, only HJtOO men could secure homes there. There are twice this number within a radius of 10 miles of Arkansas City who will make the race for homesteads. This is only one point out of a dozen where the boomers gathered for the great race. Y hen such a man as Carnegie voluntarily advances wages it ought to be h pretty good evidence that he is getting more than the lion's share of the profits and the further evidence of returning prospersity. On Wednesday a raise of 10 per cent was made in all departments of Carnegie's mills, volun tarily, to go into effect June 1st. This, too, under democratic free trade. An other puncture in the g. o. p. pneu matic. Natural Jae In Iowa. The recent discovery of natural gas near Columbus Junction, Iowa, loads to the belief that it exists in consid erable quantities in the southeastern part of the state, and that the field is not a narrow one. Gas has been struck a number of times by parties boring deep wells, and at a depth of from 100 to 150 feet. No tests have been made, however, and it is believed that when made gas will be found in considerable quantities. A short distance from Columbus Junction there is a collec tion of several houses which have been heated with natural gas for sev eral years, and both the supply and pressure seems to increase as time passes. ' The Ledger says: Union has the best base ball ground in the county to offer the officials of Ca3S and Otoe if they will come here to play one game of their series. It is the half-way point between Nebraska City and l'latts mouth, and we can guarantee atten dance that will, make the players do their prettiest work. IHI.UKSTIC notix. The people of Utah are to have a new constitution. The leading ques tions to be decided are woman suf frage and prohibition. According to a recent decision of the Illinois supreme court, the eight hour system employed by many firms in that state, is declared unconstitu tional. A recent frost iu southern California nearly destroyed the apricot, almond, peach, prune and grape crops. The loss in the vicinity of San Jose is esti mated at$l,000,00U. About thirty-five of the men en gaged in the killing of the negro work men at New Orleans have been in- (dieted. Warrants have been issued for all those not already under arrest. Governor Morton of New York has signed a bill making a person guilty of u misdemeanor who solicits money, property, or tickets to any eutertaiu me nt from a uomiuated candidate for any public otllce. About 200 negroes from Savannah, Ga.,wiU be taken to Liberia, Africa, by the I) inish steamer "Hosea." These negroes will form a small colony In Liberia, with the expectation of mak ing that their home. The North German Loyd steamship company wlil during the coining sea- sou establish a fti tnightly line of fast steamers between Manchester, Kng land,aud Quebec nud Montreal, Can ada. The course to Manchester will be by the way of the new Manchester shi, canal. Erastus Wimau, who was convicted of forgery and sentenced to Ave years iu Sing Sing prison, has secured an opportunity of appealing t the su preme court for a new trial. On a 530,000 bond l.e has lvt allowed to await his new trial before being con fined in prison.

J., in 1S47 Much of the wine made on the Is land of Cyprus has been thrown wway because the people are too p or to buy casks for shipping it. Much distress prevail among the poorer people there. The czar of Itftsshi ha issued a de cree abolishing the ancient custom of whippii g persons committing ptty offence. ug:inst the law. This custom employed in all minor offences, caused many deaths. Owing to the refusal of metnhers of the German reichstag to send their congratulations to Prince Bismurk on his birthday, the pret-ident of the reichstag, Herr von L-eritzow, ten dered his resignation. An attempt is being made by the Catholics of England to have the laws of Oxford and Cambridge universities against Catholics set aside, so that Catholic students may avail them selves of theireducational advantages. The government of Cape Colony Africa, has offered to establish free trade relations between Canada and its own government. This will give Canada, it is claimed, an increase of about 20 per cent over her present markets in the United States. Great Britain has authorized Mr. Hurbert Murray, former chairman of the customs departments of New Foundland, to relieve all suffering families. Canada will consider the question of annexing New Foundland at the next conference held in Ottawa. The troublesome educational ques Hon of whether the Catholics of Mani toba, Canada, shall be obliged to pay taxes for public schools, when they support their own parochial schools. has not been settled. The Canadian government is debating the question us to whether it shall interfere in the matter. Articles of Incorporation. Know all men bt tiikhb micKiCNTx: That we, D. O. Dvryer, Byron Clark, V. A.
