TO GRANGERS
Please notice a letter from the Chair

State Grange Master. Mr. Porter
thinks it would be a go-nl time for a3
many of the different Masters of Gran
ges as canto meet at the State Fair
and talk over this matter of cheap
transportation and decide oa the needs
nnd wants of Nebraska in the matter.
All will want to be at the Fair any

at less expense than by any other

PRESIDENT GRANT SATES A LADY'S
LIFE.
On Friday last, at Long Branch, a
pair cf horses, attached to a plueton,
took fright and ran away. The pha
ton contained a' Miss Martin, brother,
and n friend. The President being
iiear, in his carriage, pursued and over
took them, and with the assistance of
a Mr. Hoey, succeeded in stopping the
horses, .and rescuing the lady from the
remains of the scattered carriage. The
gentlemen in the carriage were some
what injured, but not seriously.
Their most grateful thanks were ten
dered the 1-resideut for the intrepid
act which doubtless saved their lives.
ON COUNTY FAIRS.
We publish with with great pleasure
a readable and sensible letter from
Bro. John Mutz, on County Fair mat
ters, and id vise all hands to read it.
In regard to the premiums offered
for different animals, or for different
accomplishments, people will always
differ, and it is universally a source of
thronis complaint. The man wrapped
up in raising horses want.s the biggest
premiums on horses; the one great on
fine Berkshire's never thinks the Com
mittee gives enough for hogs; and the
, - -r-v in. r . r . ......
xjuruam or uevon caiuu itiisa is &uie
that the pigs and chickens get it alL
Worse yet, the ladies say their traps do
hot receive anything but diplomas, yet
the men are all ready enough to eat
them, and would do but little at rais
ing fine cattle, hog3 or horses were it
XkOt for ttreir art in the cooking line.
So great a nuisance have such com
plaints about premiums at County
Pairs become, that many of our best
iiinn onrl T-wf tvl 1 d rfc 1in!'. will 71 C it"
serve, just because they refuse to be
"eusseu" bv everybody.
Row, citizenrf, you must all have pa
tience on these matters and unless the
committee make glaring errors take it
"eooly. Attend the meetings a3 Mr.
Mutz advises, and give your counsel
and advice next year, and maybe it
will be better.

PEOPLE'S ?10VE3IET.
Some persons are terribly anxious to
inaugurate what they are pleased to
term, "a People's Movement" in Caw
County, and the Hekald has been ap
proached on that matter. As an indi
vidual we have expressed our opinion
of the issues at stake at tho present
time, and freely counseled all parties
to hold their horses and reserve their
strength until the time comes when it
Will be needed.
Just so far ns electing County offi
cers this fall is concerned, it is very
probable that any of the persons nom
inated by the Pepublicaas will be ahti
monoioly and anti-ccrruption strong
enough to suit any one that is really
honest in the intention to btand by the
people in any matter of common weal.
A strong effort to draw the Grangers
iato some such movement has failed,
thanks to their own good sense and the
patriotic views of the worthy Master
of the State Grange, Hon.' Wm. 13.
Porter.
There must be Borne new issue, some
sound ideas not yet covered by the lie-
publican party, before any new party,
or set of men can hope to succeed. The
mere cry of "anti-monopoly" is the
yell of disappointed politicians. Ev
ery Republican State Convention that
has yet met h:is denounced the back
pay steal, the course of the great cor
porations and any and all useless ex
penditure and frauds in the public fi
nancial management. No other party
has so well filled the bill, and it is idle
and useless to try and bore augur holes
with a gimlet, which is what any peo
ple's part' would do were they to face
the double opposition of the monopo
lists and a strong organized party al
ready leading the van in anti-monopoly
movements.
Understand us distinctly, we lKdieve
in and always favor any true, genuine
uprising of the eople against fraud
and corruption; but when two or three
men call themselves "the people" and
attempt to create a revolution for
purely selfish and personal ends, count
us out. We do not believe there is
any real demand for a people's party
in this county at present, nor does
there exist any necessity for such a
party. All the grounds it could
claim to be based on has already leen
covered by one of the parties in the
field.
people's call.
Since writing the above we have re
ceived the following document: It
reached us through the mail, and is
without any signatures or any apparent
authority whatever; therefore, by all
the rules of journalistic courtesy we
would not be obliged to publish or no
tice the same. We do publish it, how
ever, because we believe in a free, fear
less, and well understood course. In
these days of telegraphs, newspapers
and general enlightenment, no cause
that is just can fail through an open
and fair discussion. If any 2eop7e of
this county desire to re-enact the laws
of common sense for the sake of ele
vating a few discontented individuals
to oflice, it shall not be said that the
Herald will not give thein rope
enough to hang themselves with.
Here is the document:

LETTER FK0& A CITIZEN.
Ed. Herald: I see that the Reso
lutions that were passed at a meeting
of our citizens on the evening of the
9th of Jul1, and afterwards presented
to the Mayor and Council, and then re
ferred to a Joint Committee for their
action, have been reported upon, and
are remarkable for nix.
That Honorable Body, after having
those resolutions under consideration
for nineteen days, conceived and
brought forth one of the smallest, puni
est and sickliest little thiugs that was
ever seen by mortal eye. 'et there
was nothing in those resolutions but
what every man could understand.
The first resolution says:
That a committee of five be appoint
ed to wait uikui the City Council and
respectfully ask the Mayor and Coun
cil to at once anuul the contract already
made for grading, and to stop the use
less and unnecessary expenses now be
ing contracted by the Street Commis
sioner under the orders of the City
Council.
And the City Council are rt.spccffurfjj
requested to expend only such an
amount as may be necessary to put
Chicago avenue in a good, passable
condition; and we believe such work
can be done for a sum not to exceed
300.
Now, can you or any one else see
anything objectionable in them, con
sidering the poverty stricken condition
of our city. The reason given by that
Committee, for rejecting thoso resolu
tions, are: "That we find that those
resolutions have been presented to
your honorable body without any sig
natures attached to them." Suppose
they were; those resolutions were
pa-ssed by a majority at a meeting
where three-fourths of that committee
were in attendance, and they knew it.
Again, they say that the resolutions
smell so strongly of a desire to see an
abundance of City Orders issued?
instead of Street Bonds, thereby . de
preciating the credit of the city. Now,
I connot see where that comes in; for
the icsolut ions ask them to annul the
contract, i. c, to quit the work until
wo can pay cash for it, and thus save
30 per cent, in cost. Which would be
the greater los to the city, do you-
think? The one to pay almost double j
for the grading in bonds and 10 per
cent, interest on them, or the other, to
wait until we can have the cash, aid
get it done at about half price, with
out interest.
Again, they say ve- d not find, upon
a careful examination, that the said
contract i3 exorbitant iii price; but are
forced to tho v conclusion, after con
sulting contractors, experts and engin
eers, that, inasmuch as the contract
only calls for 33 cents per cubic yard,
it is not. God help John Hohlschuh,
who is now grading for the county
just outside of the corporation for 24
cents, amongst stumps and roots of
trees, which must be at Jeast 5 cents
per yard worse to do, than the avenue.
The last grading that was done for
the city, was done by D. W. Mullci:. at
23 cents per yard 12 cents less thai:
this contract, and yet they can't see
that the contract is exorbitant, after
consulting the experts. If they wait
to find out whether 33 cents is exorbi
tant or not, let them consult John
Hohlschuh, Walter White or David W.
Mullen, and See what any one of them
would do it it for, for cash; perhaps
they would see then, whether it was
exorbitant or not.
Again, they say they believe it is the
wish of the majority of the people to
have the avenue graded at that price ;
hut they took good care not to put it
to a vote, or thay would have seen
whether it waa or not, by one of the
worst defeats they ever have known.
Again, they say that it was open to a
full and fair competition. Suppose it
was; what difference would that make
to them if they wanted to give it to A
friend? llow did a majority of that
Joint Committee vote in the matter of
City Printing? .When a proposition
was made to give it to the Watchman,
and an amendment was made to gi ve
it to the lowest bidder, a majority of
that Joint Committee voted "no," not
to give it to the lowest bidder. Now,
if they were not particular in one case
why should they be in the other, when
giving it to one in the ring?
Respectfully. Citizex.
"DOUBTING THOMAS."
In a lecture on Grange matters, de
livered at Mt. Pleasant and published
in the Herald, the lecturer in illus
trating some theory of his own used
the expression "Another doubting
Thomas," and used the same name
again in the sentence, "Not so, Mr.
Thomas." Many persons erroneously
have taken these allusions to mean Mr.
Thomas, of Four Mile Creek, who for
good reasons of his own has not seen
fit to join the Grange. The Herald
called Mr. Furlong's attention to these
words and informed him that they
might be taken as personal by any of
the Thomas family in Cass County.
Mr. F. thought not, and it is but jus
tice to the lecturer to state that he
then and there explained that "the
doubting Thomas" was meant in a gen
eral sense after the scripture phrase,
meaning that Thomas .doubted every
thing, and with no reference to any
person here and now living.
Mr. Thomas has s.'i.t us a communi
cation on the matter, of which we give
a portion below, as it furnishes food
for thought on some matters not unin
tcreresting to Grangers. His letter
says:
"Now, Mr. Furlong, if Thos. Thomas
of Four Mile is the man you allude to
in the above article, or if you have
used those expressions from hearsay,
please give the names of your inform
ants and not lacerate our backs while
our hands are tied. If the order you
are so eagerly supporting is based on
truth and equity, please give the cor
rect biils and total cost of your insti
tution, including initiation fees, dues
and all the time lost in attending lodg
es, getting up supper, &c. Now, sir,
when you furnish the above statements
I will give you my reasons for doubting
whether your order benefits the poor
man or helps the national good.
Respectfully, Tiios. Thomas.
CONGRESS, GRANGES, TRANSPORT

Stats Grange, P. of II.
"WiXona, Minn., July 15, 1ST3.
My Dear Sir: The Senate of the
United States, at its last session, ap
pointed a select committee who are
charged with the duty of investi
gating the subject of transportation
between the interior and seaboard.
This duty involves a wide and difficult
field of inquiry, and embraces certain
questions of which the farmers of the
country are deeply interested. Know
ing that the Patrons of Husbandry
have given much thought and atten
tion to this subject, and believing that
through their organization very im
portant and valuable information may
be obtained in aid of our work, I have
thejionor, on behalf of the Committee,
to request that you will after con
sultation with the Granges in your ju
risdiction select a suitable person who
will appear before the Committee, and
present the views and suggestions of
the farmers of your State, in regard to
the defects, abuses and grievances al
leged to exist under the present sys
tems of transportation, and also as to
the remedy required.
Should you deem it advisable to ar
range for the conference suggested,
please inform me of jur action and I
will give you due notice of the time
and place. Communications similar
to this have been addressed to the Mas
ters of all Stale Granges, and I venture
to express the hope that the Commit
tee may have the valuable assistance
and cooperation of your powerful or
ganization. "
I am sir, very respectfully your obe

THE" INDIGNANT ES.
The above caption is found in the
WuMiman over what purports to be
a report of some Joint Committee of
the great and illustrious City Council
of the City of Plattsmoutlu
I do not propose to enter into a con
troversy with a City Council Commit
tee, who can, and I fear will, publish
all such articles at the expense of the
city. The so-called report is such a
pettifogging affair that I am almost
inclined to let it go unnoticed. The
Committee, too, are such sound jurists
that one feels almost abashed when he
dares to disagree with them. Yet, we
are of the opinion that not one of
them know, ever knew, or care to know
what the law is on tiie several points
made by the Property Holders.
In referring to that portion of the
resolutions, "the Committee" calls the
men of the city who take such work,
"Healthy Men" (they will like it.no
doubt such men as "Walter White,
John Hohlschuh, David Mullen and
Joseph Leasley). Yes, they are healthy
men, and pay their honest debts and
taxes and do honest work at reason
able prices.
The indignantcs, (as they arc called),
did not ask to have orders issued ; they
have enough of them now; for the or
ders have already depreciated fifteen
cents on the dollar since the low
priced reform Council, with their
Zluyor, have got in power to run the
city finances. We think that JJarncs
& Pollock, I). II. Wheeler & Co., J. N.
Wise, W. L. Ilobbs or Sam. M. Chap
man, could not wish for any Council'
who are working harder to depreciate
the credit of our city than are the pres
ent Council and Maj or.
We can only pity the poor men of
the city, wlso, though paying but $3 to
$10, should pay three-fourths of that
amount to one or two of our citizens,
who happen to be rich enough to own
a store or a hotel, or have an interest
in a bank. Pay your money, "Healthy
Men"; It will help somebody who will
loan you money at two per cent, a
month, after selling the bonds re
ceived for work; received for labor
that you "Healthy Men," who "labar"
could do yourselves and draw the mon
ey direct.
The price is clicup, very c7teaj yet
one of our "Healthy Men," John Hohl
schuh, is grading for the county and
a very much harder job at 24 cents
per cubic yard; yet an "unhealthy
man," though wealthy :id doing busi
ness through his wife, son, attorney, or
brother-in-la to, may take a better job,
and charge you 33 cents per cubic yard.
O honesty, how we value you!
We remember that when the present
Reform Council first commenced busi
ness, one of this same Cheap Commit
tee moved.tolet the city printing to the
Watchman, during their term of office,
and when it was moved that the print
ing of the city for the, ensuing year be
let to the lowest bidder, what was
the result? Why, our immaculates
voted "no." No why no? because the
Master said I want the job at a good
price and he got it. Of course this
"was not to make orders cheap; oh, no!
we did not happen to see our "Watch
vifin man" trying to sell city orders re
cently at 10 to 15 cents below par.
Cheap outfit, but very dear to the
"Healthy Men," who pay taxes. In
fact your writer thinks that the Com
mittee have not answered a single po
sition taken by the "iiuUgnantes" in
their resolutions, which the Committee
have failed ti copy in one single sen
tence, though I bilieve your Master
lias had them published. See Watch'
vuui. But more anon.
Hastily, "Healthy Man."
ANOT H E Rl) I' 7E3I.
Mr. Editor: I see by the Watch
man that the Committee of the Coun
cil to whom was referred the resolu
tions of the Tax-payers' meeting, have,
after some two weeks labor, reported;
and such a report! It seems to me
that a school boy of ten years would
be ashamed of it. Failing to get
around the force of the resolutions,
they ridicule and make false state
ments in regard to the action and in
tentions or motives of some of our
best citizens and heaviest tax-payers.
The insinuation that some of these
men desired the depreciation of orders,
wo think is very far-fetched. The
resolutions asked that the contract for
grading be annulled and the work
stopped. until such time as they could
pay cash when they could get the
work done 4 for ttrenty cents ier yard,
instead of thirty-five. It seems tome
that this would have been better policy
and better financiering, and wovild have '
given general satisfaction to the tax
ridden people, especially when they
claim that there is twenty-eight thous
and dollars of delinquent taxes that
will be collected this fall; certainly
better policy than to issue ten thous
and dollars in one, two and three year
bonds, and thereby largely increase tho
taxes of the people. Why this haste
to increase our taxes ? Why not have
made these bonds to run for ten or
twenty pears if it was necessary to is
sue any bonds, and sold them for cash,
and paid cash for the work, and saved
the city about one half the expense of
this work, that they deem so import
ant to be done ?
Taking all the facts and surround
ings of this question, Mr. Editor, it
looks to me as though there was "some
thing rotten in Denmark."
Why did the Mayor say upon the
streets that they were going to
grade Chicago avenue anyhow, and the
tax-payers might enjoin as much as
they pleased? Why did he say that
the tax-payers had made Avar on them,
and he would give them all the fight
they wanted? Is this the way for the
servants of the people to treat the men
that bear the burthen of the taxes of
the city? Why is it that these gentle
men intend to bull this thing through ?
Why did they not submit these bonds
to a vote of the people, and then there
would have been no dispute as to the
legality of these proceedings, simply be
cause they knew full well that they
would have been voted down by an
overwhelming majority.
A word upon another question, Mr.
Editor, and I am done, for this time.
How much tax will fourteen mills
give on an assessment of four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; and how
much tax will be required on a bonded
indebtedness of one hundred thousand
dollars, to say nothing of the one-third
of ten thousand street bonds and from
twelve to fifteen thousand of a floating
debt that the present Mayor and Coun
cil will have run the city into if they
run at the same rate tho balance of the
year that they have since they came
into power. Indignant.
