The Herald male a mistake last

of these officers before, when it should
have been only their election.
Attorney General Williams with
drew his name from before the Senate
as a candidate for Chief Justice, be
cause an adverse feeling against him
had been created throughout the coun
try and he did not want to embarrass
the administration by seeming to force
his confirmation on the Senate. "We
think more of him now than ever be

TEMPERANCE vs. POLITICS.
A person is almost always placed at
a disadvantage who attempts to ask a
public speaker, of any witya question,
or worse yet when Ire attempts to an
swer the questions sail pulic speaker
puts to the public, and which lie docs
n6t expect, aa a rule, that the said pub
lic will answer at all ; and if some one
should uhltickily, on the .spur of the
moment, answer a question or rebut a
fact, the speaker has hi3 retort ready
cut and dried, because he has thought
the whole subject over, and is prepared
for any and every objection, or he over--whelms
you with bungled statistics,
Jct bearing on the issue, perhaps, but
which confound you to answer, and
the audience always laugh at the'maii
who is puzzled for an answer, no mat
ter how Just his cause, or however
much they miy sympathise with the
puzzled person's side of the question.
For these, and other good reasons, we
candidly adviso our friends not to be
led into" the folly of answering a public
pprcr-ker's qwstiona generally. If they
.are surprised into doing so, as. we were
l.Ionday night, make tlwbest of it and
efe out a3 gracefully as yon can ; but
do rot attempt it often, because the
Way he always turns around and ap
peals to you afterwards, all through
his harraugue, is, to say the least,
somowhat embarrassing, and he means
o make it so, of courser And now to
3TJE KEY. MR. JtFSSELls TEMPEIl
AXCE(?) SrEECII.
As a taxirerar.re lecturer, th? ?pek-
Statetnent of facts than the average
temperance preacher? As a temper
anco lecturer fur as such he advertises
himself or his friends do for him, he
may then be considered a reasonable
succes.3; but when he leaves the tem-
pcraucc question and plunges into po!i
I tics and political e.cu;tty, he is eft hi?
leg.-? in a nicment, and out of hin ele
ment, lie becomes Very intemperate
almost iustanter; we never knew alco
hol to so suddenly bei!der and be
devil the intellects of Its best friends,
as the subject of political economy
does the average temperance lecturer
When he leaves the cold water mark
of high moral suasion amj plunges into
the brewing-vat of partisan (whisky)
politics. It's liko a fellow changing
treacle for new-medford rum, they
both look alike, even smell somewhat
similar, but the one is safe for even
very weak constitutions, and the other
needs the immense vitality and vast
oxidizing powers of a New Uedford
sailor to get away with any quantity
of the critter, and show a temperate
figure-head to the world. Your tem
perance lecturer gets muddled on po
litical economy, in a moment. He for
gets that he i.s talking to an American
audience, over one-half of which
think they are pretty good one-horse
politico-economists themselves, and
some of them are cq'ial to a whole
team.
TEMrERAXCE MAC!
Yes, we shall be as temperate .-u pos
sible. Xot all the intemperance of the
world i caused by drinking whisky ;
ami as far as the abolition of drinking
Biloons, or the prevention of men
making beasts of themselves by drink
ing alcoholic drinks are concerned, we
will go a great deal further than the
speaker himself. If it were possible
that a single tarn of this lead pencil
could abolish every whisky mill, big
and little, in the land, it would bo
turned so qtfick your head would swim ;
but when a gentleman attempts to in
struct us in our political duties, and in
forms us of what, in his view, the po
litical party to which we belong is
guilty, we respectfully beg leave to in
quire, by what peculiar advantages of
religion, morality, or other sources' at
knowledge, he has been surrouWed,
that qualify him to tlecide for us, or
for the people we represent,- what our
political dutie.3 are? Or, again, by
what hidden power carr Uq divine and
inform the people what Course the Re
publican party, or the Democratic par
ty will take on ri question that has
never been' ptrt before them; or who
made the He v. John Russell a judge of
the virtuD of the past Democratic par
ty, or h'e present Republican party, on
the lifiror question? The question of
prohibit lc"n as he calls it was never
before the old Democratic party as an
1311 and he cannot tell what they
might have elone with it. It has never
been before the Republican party as
an issue, and he knows no more of
what that party would do about it
than we do about what foolish meas
ures a temperance party might take
on finance, and has no better means of
judging than we have. The statement,
then, that the Democratic party had
never aided the temperance cause, was
an insult to every old Democrat there,
and the equally foolish one that the
Republican party never would do any
thing, is not borne out by facts before
our eye3.
POLITICO
If the Republican party were polled
to day it Would show a large prepond
erance in favor of temperance not fa
naticism because it ia a well known
fact that no drunkard, nor even a well
known moderate drinker, could get a
nomination last fall. Xo party to-day
dare stand up a moment before the
people with a drunkard at the head
of its ticket. Bad as the Rev. John
Russell thinks this town, no drunk
ard, to-day, could be elected to a town
or county office, and it will be long be
fore he makes either Republican or
Democratic citizens believe that all
the virtue and temperance of the coun
try have centered in the new prohibi
tion rank3.
rt'BLIC ABUSE
Of a party or set of men never yet re
eleemed them, nor incited them to one
noble action or deed of public virtue;
and the statement that the Republican
party is responsible for all the crime
of intemperance, is idle and false, be
cause, on a square issue of temperance
or no temperance, the liepublican par
ty and all other parties combined,
would be beaten to-day in the United
States by a combination of all elements
hungry for office, pecuniarily interested
or habitually careless in political mat
ters, and thus handing the government
over to avowed friends of the Liquor
interest, and every sane man' knows it.
Xothing but the immense power of the
great organized Republican party of
this country, in whose ranks stand the
highest temperance men, the brightest
intellect?, the acutest of Statesmen, to
day prevents thi3 combination of ele
ments to' overthrow good government,
right rule, and lavful supremac3
Any man that cannot see this must be
illy informed, or carmot understand
the signs of the times, when he reads
of Train Ligues, "with blood or bread"
for their war cry.
"We know" it rj- fashionable to talk of
men with no party principles, and they
are, perhaps1, increasing, as well as men
with no principles, at all, but please to
reraei'nber, gentlemen of the temper
ance' persuasion, that there are a few
persons still left who have an honest
conviction that their party is right,
aad who love an'u respect the traditions
of their party, and who have serious
political convfctioyvt of right and wrongl
They may be Republicans or they may
be Democrats who think thus, and
moreover although they may have
laughed at the speaker's witticisms, on
Monday evening, under the impulse of
the ra'omcnt when they get home they
must feel that tley have been cheated
and fixled, and their best motives and
thoughts-made fun of and held up to
ridicule under the guise of Temper-
CiIRIHTfATS AND OEXTLEM KS,
who have charge of the Temperance
question, and it is A great question, we
admit, suppose you should ask the
Editor of this paper to address you on
the general management of newspa
per rtild he should wind up with a
bitter partisan tirade, and advise jrou
all to leave every other party and come
over to his side of the question, how
would you feel ? Or, suppose that you
invited Dr. Livingston to deliver a
public lecture on Hygiene, and he
should end it by telling you all to leave
the Methodist, and the Presbyterian,
and the Baptist tleuoniinations, as they
were all corrupt, and fiercely assert
that you must become Episcopalians,
to be saved, of sdve tho world, hov
would that sit? Or, if you should ask
Dick Cashing to tell you all about rail
road building, or the general detail of
hianaging Common Councils and he
should insist that you should all be
come Catholics before you could do a
generous, a virtuous, or temperate
deed? We can see no logic that re
quires a man to leave his political par
ty before ho becomes a temperate man,
any more than that he should leave
his religion and join another church to
aid the cause of Temperance.
MINISTERS
of tha Christian religion, preachers of
the living God, you sometimes call
yourselves, have you delegated your
duties and responsibilities over the
people of this place to strangers and
aliens. Is it possible that the Church
has nothing to do with temperance,
cannot control it and ought cot: to
vote upon it? The Rev. j'olin' I'ussell
says you cannot act upon it. You
complain sometimes that the Press
usurps your prerogatives. It never will
if you tell this people the truth, and
that is that temperance and religion,
virtue and modesty go hand in hand.
Show us a religious and a moral
community; and We will show a tem
perate one, foe they Republicans or
Dembcrafoi
LASTLY",
Brother Russell never give the Lib
eral Republicans a single dig, and that's
partial, unjust, un-rcpublican, and not
Reverend at all to them.
A LITTLE MO IV J TEMPERANCE TO WIND
VP.
As Bro. Russell called his Lecture a
"Temperance Lecture," (the bills did,
at all eveuts), why we must call this eil
itorial a Temperance editorial, and give
a few views on tho temperance busi
ness, to take the "curse" of the politics
of?.
We think it unjust and cowardly to
throw all the blame of drinking and
using liquor on one class, the class that
makes it or sells it. If its wrong, con
vince the people that drink it, of the
fact, and if a revenue is to be raised
from its Sale, and that's the object,
why, " let every man that wants to
drink step up to the County Clerk's
offico, and ask for his license to drink
through the year and pay for it accord
ingly. If a moderate drinker, say
three "nips" a day, .$3.00; if only a
morning dram, S2.50; and if he must
get drunk, S25, and so on. Add to this
all fines for what he does when drunk,
and license from the seller, and you'll
have a revenue worth talking about,
besides, if every chap's name was on
the County Clerk's books, for just
what he drinks, and he hail to show
his license before ho got a dram, may
be so many would not take out a li
cense. "Whenever the people make up
their minds to demand an anti-liquor
law strong enough to pass a 17th
Amendment to the Constitution, pro
viding: That every citizen of the
United States is hereby forbidden by
law to raise, cultivate, or hire, any
grain or grains, vegetables, weeds,
grass, fiibre, root or any other known
substance that can be converted into
alcoholic stimulant, and sell, barter or
give away the same for that purpose,
and that all persons buying any grain,
grains &c, and bo using them shall be
subject to the penalty of the law (fix
ing the penalty) when this is done,
and the people are willing and anxious
for it, then a prohibitory law can be
enforced. When farmers, merchants,
mechanics, and temperance lecturers,
can become virtuous enough to agree
to curtail the irice of grain one-third
to one-half," and eaclt and several their
business in the same pTcrpoTticrn, then,
and not till then, can any such law be
enforced, and such heroic virtue as
that can only be gained by stern re
ligious conviction of right, ami can
only coma from and through our re
ligiou3 teachers, and will never come
from a political party.
When 3rou are ready for this, gentle
men, walk up to the Herald office arrl
we will hoist a temperance ticket, and
make an honest temperance light for
your candidates, and it shall be red-hot
for one campaign anyhow.
Old "Tip" has been giving Sherman
of Ohio a round. All about back pay cf
course. Sherman turned around, and
Tip faced about, and so they came to a
right shoulder shift, and grounded
arras for the present.
Somebody mis-states facts in the
Lincoln Journal in regard to the Tem
perance Meeting here. In the first
phice the editor of this paper was not
aware that he was a "politician," he
never claimed that honor, and Frank
Welsh once said he would never do
for a politician "because he was too
honest." Be that as it may, he never
catechised the Rev. Jfr. Russell and
would not dream of such a thing Mr.
R. asked a question, several questions
in fact, and kept asking them, and de
manding an answer, and we finally an
swered one of them, which the Rev.
gentleman changed from its original
force and then asked it iu a different
manner. In fact his whole lecture'
waira ?riea of questions. The Her
ald has already had one bout on ask
ing fjuesiions, aiKl we do not think it
is an' more honorable for a public
lecturer to depend upcrf asking tjues
tions than for a public newspaper, and
you may all remember the old adage:
'Any Fool can ask questions that a
'P?iilo$np7icr cannot answer
Victoria Woodhull lectured at Lin
coln Thursday evening, and if the
Jourtial reports her at all correctly,
her ideas and views are subversive of
good government and destructive to
social and family happiness.
We are sorry to see that the Burt
County Pilot says "good-bye to its pa
trons, this week, on account of the ill
health of the Editor, Mr. Lambert. He
has sho wn great energy and persever
ance in starting and building up the
Pilot, and if his judgment had been as
good as his will to work ha would not
have needed to stop his paper, even for
ill health.
There is a very line picture in Har
per's this week, representing- the
"Country Editor's Sanctum," and a
jolly farmer just bringing in the pay
for his subscription; consisting of two
turkeys, a half bushel of potatoes, a
little roasting pig, some apples and a
lot of pumpkins and squashes. The
puzzled look of the editor, one of the
old-fashioned kind with specks on
nose and quill behind his ear, is very
good; and the glimpse of the "Devil"
stealing anr apple through the open
doorway of the composing room, to
gether with a side view of a big fat
printer, like Stiles, at the case, gives
that part of the picture a very home
look.-
We want it tlistinctly understood,
that no remarks in this paper about
the political speech of Monday evening
are intended as opinions adverse to the
proper advocacy of the Temperance
Cause nor to just and wholesome laws,
restricting and restraining the sale of
intoxicating drinks, but when it is at
tempted to build a party faction up
by appealing to heartfelt sympathies
of stn honest people for the temper
ance cause and at our expense we want
a hand in and mean to have it . More
ever, we have no real objection to
making this subject a political issue on
the proper basis, but we elo insist that
the people shall understand tho full ef
fect of their votes and go to the root
of the business at once.
The Temperance Convention at Lin
coln decided:
Jiesolced, That instead of dissolving
our connection with the present polit
ical organizations, and forming a tem
perance party, we deem it advisable'to
work with the present parties, believ
ing that if we do our whole duty, we
can secure the nomination and election
of such men as will give us the legisla
tion we desire, in reference to the
liquor traffic.
Prof. Miller is perfectly right tho
Temperance caujo has made great
progress in the past two years and
under Republican rule. We think a
"heap" -more of the "old Prof." now
than ever before.
A GOOD ONE ON FUBT.
Some three or four months since,
Mr. Brake, the "Gen. Bick" of the
Omaha Herald, sent; a letter to Geresco,
in this State; on the envelope he
wrote : "If not called for in ten days,
return ccc." The letter remained in
the rural office just fifty days, and was
then returned to this oHie an. I handed
to Mr. Brake. This was sufficient
cause to denounce the administration,
and, accordingly, "Bick" writes a blood
curdling letter to the Omaha Herald,
giving the facts in the case a? above
stated.
Mr. John Fury, who, by the way, is
special mail agent for the western
country, happened to read the article,
and immediately wrote to the delin
qnent P. M. a letter of four pages, in
substance as follows:
P. M. Ceresco: For several months
complaints have reached me in regard
to your negligence in postal matters,
and your craelcssness has been ventilat
ed in the Omaha Herald. I now de
mand from you a full statement of the
facts, and if they are not forthcoming
by next mail, off comes your official
head.
To this mild and persuasive epistle
the Ceresco post master replied in lan
guage something like the following:
Mr. Jno. Fcry. Yours received.
I am guilty. Was absent from home
at the time "Gen. Bick's" letter arrived;
it only remained in my ollice forty
nine days. Before I left home I for
got to teach my wife the little intrica
cies of postal laws. You hint some
thing about my "official head" coming
off in case I do not comply instanter
with your suggestions, Xow, my dear
Mr. Fury, If you can possibly help me,
I Wish you would do it. For trPo long
years have been trying to resign my
position ct-1 postmaster of Ceresco, and
the opportunity for the first time, is
now at hand; will you please have my
successor appointed as soon as possible
ad you can have my salary 312 for
the past year.
P. S. Tell "Gen. Bick" I would feel
obliged to him if he would send- me a
6py of the paper containing that
scathing letter.
Fury "set 'em up" for the boya, and
remarked that that countryman was
too much for him. State Journal.
