TO THE DEMOCRACY OF NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Xeb., Aug 20, 1874.
Wiikkkas, By reason of the coali
tion of parties two year ago, or other
possible cause, some counties in the
State may be without proper authority
to call a "convention to elect delegates
to the Democratic Convention at Lin
coln. Therefore, the State Central Com
mittee, in such cases, desire to suggest
tither one or two modes of proeeedure
as may be most convenient : First. A
call signed "Many Democrats" for a
mass meeting of the Democrats of the
county to elect a county committee.
Second. Apply to the member of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
representing the district in which sach
oountv is situated, who is in such case
empowered to call a county convention
to elect' felegates to the Democratic
StatA Convention whiehlatter conven
tion should be composed of the best
and raost capable advisers from all
parts of the- State, and to the end of

BUSINESS NOT AFFECTED.
The recent depression in business
has not affected the passenger traffic, of
the St. Louis. Kansas City & Northern
Short Line, as they continue to run six
fast express trains, two more than any
other line between the Missouri and
Mississippi Ilivers. This road enjoys
great immunity from accidents, by
reason of immense expenditures, in the
last two years, of over two million dol
lars, besides earnings in wonderful im
provements, in re'aying their line with
new steel and iron rails, on broad, new
ties, in new rolling stock supplied with
all modern appliances for comfort and
safety, and as another safeguard, em
ploy night and day watchmen to in
spect the road before and after the
passage of each train, to see that every
thing is in order. Conspicuous among
new improvements is the substitution
for ordinary cars, of new reclining
chair coaches, elegantly carpeted anil
fitted with dressing rooms for ladies,
gentlemen and families, without any
ejrtra charge. The St. Louis, Kansas
City & Northern and the Kansas Citj
St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad,
form the only line running through
Pullman Palace Sleepers between
Omaha and St Louis. The shortest
line between the West and the East is
over the St. Louis, Kansas City &
Northern Short Line, either through
St. Louis, the great metropolis of over
430,000 inhabitants, or through Chica
go, via the Chicago & Alton Short
Line, over the Louisiana Bridge now
open for passage of through trains.
Ticket Agents of connecting roads sel
ling through tickets to the East, North
or South, will furnish tickets by this
excellent line. For map, circulars,
time cards and information relative
to rates, &c apply to or address Ly
man McCarty, Kansas City, Mo

down this way.

Public affairs to send us a list of the

Weeping Water, at once, that wo may
publish them by next week. Please

During the pressure of these hard

Another man, Levy by name, has

The New York Police authorities

What shall we do with a man that con

he couldn't possibly either murder or

BASE BALL MATCH.
Rock Bluffs, Neb., )
August 17th, '74. (
Dear Hkbalik Since you kindly
extended an invitation to send in "our
side of the question" of base ball
matches, we send you for this week's
publication, a rej.ort of the "Social
Match," played at Weeping Water,
Neb., Saturday, Aug. loth, by the "Tem
perance Nine" of Rock Bluffs, and the
"Weeping Waters" of Weeping Water.
The game was one of interest, to
both sides, and passed oil smoothly
and quietly, under the government of
Mr. Bellows, who was chosen Umpire,
and Shered Graves, who was chosen
Scorer. Through the hospitalities of
the Weeping Water boys, we were
made perfectly comfortable during our
whole stay with them; and, fortunate
ly for us, there were no "men of mili
tary renown" in attendance, to make
"dollar bets" on us, and then go back
on, and discourage us in the game.
Drunkenness was entirely absent from
our game; a thing which is too often
attendant upon such occasions.
The score was, Rock Bluffs 34; and
Weeping Water 18. Cap. Jack,

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Temperance.
Many anxious persons are desirous
that the Temperance question should
be made an issue this fall. In view of
the fact that a Constitutional Conven
tion is to be voted on this fall and will
undoubtedly carry, thus obliging the
next Legislature to call said conven
tion together, it will probably be in
session by February next. That con
vention can, and will, no doubt, intro
duce a plank asking for "Prohibition"
or "No Prohibition" or"Local Option"
or "No L,ocal Option", and the whole
people of Nebraska can then vote on
the square principle at issue without
any political complications or personal
likes or dislikes for men. In our opin
ion that is the time and the place to
test the temperance question in Ne
braska. MEETING OF THE REPUBLICAN

THE THIRD PARTY.
The recent convention of the Tem
perance, or third party, at Lincoln, in
dicates their desire to place a third
ticket in the field. To one looking
fairly at this question, it appears only
as a detriment to the Republican part',
and against the interests of the State.
It is obvious that this third party is
composed, in the main, of men from
the Republican ranks, men, no doubt
honest in their convictions, but who,
we believe, have let this one question
blind their interest in others of more
importance. Not that intemperance
is not an evil, or that temperance is
not a great moral reform ; but it is a
question that can not effect the gener
al interest of the Government.
Political parties are founded for cer
tain purposes, and for the advance
ment of certain principles; and they
are supposed to, and do legislate for
the interest of those principles to the
sacrifice of all others.
The issue of the third party is Pro
hibition, and in legislating and making
prohibition laws, what will become of
the questions of finance, commerce,
tariff, Railroads, juid other question of
vital interest to our nation?
The Republican party was founded
upon the fundamental principles of
Liberty and Prosperity; and to the ad
vancement of these questions, in all
their intricate leanings it bends its
powers; and with what success, is a
matter of history.
This party, then, being of Republi
can extraction will not effect the Dem
ocratic vote, and the Bourbons instead
of being apprehensive of this new
movement, are doing all in their pow
er, to complete its organization, show
ing conclusively that they look upon it
as a God-send a manna in the desert
to their political aspirations.
It is evident that this premature and
imierfect organization, can not be the
dominant party; then, since they can
hope to attain nothing by independ
ent effort, will they suffer themselves
to be a cat's paw in the slimy hands of
Democracy? would they have this
platform of a single idea, be the "hang
man's whip" to the Republican party.
The quiet chuckle of the Omaha
Herald, the professed brain pabulum
of the mongrel "Outs" ought to answer
the question. For shame Republicans!
Where's your loyalty to the old party
that brought you through the black
valley of slavery, bridged the gory
streams of the Rebellion? weathered
safely the financial crisis? and loves
you as she does her principles! Work
your reforms by mild entreaty, exam
ples and leniencf. The Government
can not help you, for the question of a
moral reform is also a question of mor
al responsibility, that politics can not
answer.
The Campaign this fall will be typi
cal of the past, if the party remains
united. And with a declaration of a
desirable public policy, the nomination
of honest, practical, experienced men.
we believe the Republicans will march
in social phalanx to the Polls, and raise
for themselves the victory that their
wisdom and heroism deserves.

OMAHA HIGH SCHOOL.
Chicanery To paim off old hen as

At a special meeting of the board of
education it was resolved to introduce
the study of German in the seventh
and eighth gradesof the public schools,
and the salary of Prof. Decker, who is
to teach that language, was fixed at
$800 per year.
The following teachers were elec ted
as second assistants, viz: Miss Cush
man and Miss Fawcett of Blair, Miss
Houghton of this city and Miss Morse,
of Plattsmouth. Omaha Herald.
We are very glad to learn that Miss
Morse has been selected as one of four
from a numerous list of applicants, and
also to hear that she passed one of the
best examinations among 10 different
teachers examined for those grades,
and Omaha has received a faithful and
competent teacher in Miss Morse.
Miss Fawcett too, of Blair, is an old
friend of the Herald's, and a most es
timable young lady, and we most
heartiy and sincerely congratulate her
on her good luck and bright prospects.
The Republic magazine, published
at Washington, D. C, maintains its
high standard as an exponent of the
leading political questions of the day.
Among some twenty articles in the
number for August the one entitled
"Republican Party," in which is shown
its relations to the welfare of the coun
try, is deserving of a careful perusal
at the present time. So, also, the ar
ticles on "The Republican Party and
Reconstruction," "Transportation Cor
porations vs. Congress and the supreme
Court," "The National Finances," and
others. This magazine is published
monthly, at 2 per annum.
A Ojiiet Hint for Husbands.
From the Troy Budget.
Whenever you find a stout, healthy
minister hanging around your wife,
with a "holy and a sincere admiration
and affection," which sentiment is
reciprocated by your wife, having a
"lofty, spiritual, religious yearning
and pure platonic love for that priest,"
that attracts her frequently to his side,
do you, unsophisticated young husband,
just go right out to the nearest cobbler,
and buy a heavy pair of pegged stogy
boots. Put those stogy boots right
on. and the next time that minister
calls at your house to peddle his "spir
itual essence," tak him gently by the
coat col'ar, make a short oration,
whereof the peroration shall be "(Jet
out!" and then clinch the argument
a posteriori with them stogys. It's the
best way to get along with an intimacy,
innocent though it may be, that some
times brings a "heap of trouble" in
its train.
