If Omaha can be discriminated tigninst to easily, she had better come south t the Platte. We'll give her a larger Paddock to run in, where she won't get short of gnus? so often. How does that "sharp eyed and clear headed gentleman," Manager Perkins, like being called a "cut-throat and rob ber," by the leading papeu?) of the town where ho established his fiead quarttrs not long since? We have received from the Sec'y of the State Grange, the journal of proceed ing of the Nebraska State Grange, 5th cession, held at Fremont; also journ al of proceedings of National State -titange, 9th session. Thanks. Will Macilurphy, of the Plattsmouth 1Ikhal1, tell us how it happened that Cunningham didn't have the National Republican Convention held at Platts luouth instead of Cincinnati Blair J 'Hot. Couldu't vote loud enough-that's all. Forsooth, a bridge at PI ittsmcuth, "discriminates against Omaha." Don't build it, Mr. Perkins, don't; Omaha might move away, commit suicide, or ijnething. Don't ask it citizens of Cuss and the South Platte; don't stand :p for your interests. Dr. Miller tnijht call you cut-throats and roofers. Th Bee flatters itself that the Oma .ia Herald only circfllates 200 copies south of the Platte, so that but few of ihe people will see the mean things Miller says of us, and that help to . widen the breach between Omaha and ' '.Le rest of the State. You can't dra w our stinger that way, lie. Bee, we shall send out about a -Thousand copies to the people south of the Platte, that will tell the stings that. help to widen the breach." We have no hesitancy in delaring liiit any man in Congress." either in - the House or the Senate, who was or is ' j be elected by the votes ttf the rrhole people of this State, cither directly it through a Legislature, who does not -support" by his vote the true interests of the whole of the honest hard-working toilers and tax-payers of this State, is not only an enemy to Omaha (and its little county), but to the best inter ests of Jiimvelf. and his State, and Cass County, has 2000 votes that says 30; irrespective of party. "It is of course, understood, as was fairly stated in our first article on the Incorporated commercial cut-throats of the Iowa "ioor railways, that our des ignation of them is in no sense pv-rson-l. The managers, general and local, vf these lines, are all gentlemen, and are altogether to popular personally . for the good of the people of Omaha, or. for that matter, for the good of each other. We speak of them as im personal cut-throats, and only in a busi aess sense " Omaha Iltral d. ' For God's sake, somebody lend him a little more mud to wallow in, and help coyer up his brazen face if possi ble. If we ever had occason to call a set ot gentlemen "cut-throats" and rob bers we would see them further In pur gatory than a crow could ny in a thous and years, before we would crawfish in that style. Woman proposes ami wan gits up and We have been as much surprised as pained by the "reading of an article in last Saturday's Omaha Republican, on the attempt now making by the Bur liugton & Missouri River It. R. Co. to force the Union Pacific Co. to pro rate with it, and we are led to ask that pa ler if it considers the necessities and prosperity of Omaha so paramount to those of the rest of the State, and es pecially the South Platte portion, that it will descend from its claimed position as the leading newspaper of the State, to become the local journal of Omaha, even if that burg does have 20,000 souls? We have had too much of thi3 sort of assumption in the past, and, it only needs a few more such articles to kin dle a blaze of indignation that will hurt the Rejntbllcan and Omaha more grievously than the success of the li & M. projects possibly can. As lo the Omaha Herald taking up the light for the Union Pacific, we be lieve no one feels surprised at its course, for it wears the V. V. collar, anil its ed itor is a standing evidence of the as tronomical illusion which beholds the sun rise and set midway between Jay Gould's head and heels, always under standing the view to be a distant one and beheld posteriorly. But for the Omaha Rexmblican to lose its broad views on any matter of State importance, and suppress its boasted interest in the general welfare to gratify its Omaha readers, and be cause it is published there, and possibly because its proprietors have pecuniary interests at stake in Omaha, is a mat ter of painful surprise to us. Without being grangers, we feel and know as do loth the editors of the Herald and Republi'-an, th.it the LTnion Pacific II. R. Co. is an immense monop oly, and that it holds the 15. & M. at a fearful disadvantage by refusing rates to it, thus compelling a passenger who goes to Cheyenne, or any point beyond Kearney, to pay as much if lie gets off the train of the U. &. M. at Kearney, and goes aboard the U. P., as though he had got on the U. P. at Omaha. If either of the editors above men tioned can call that right to the people of this State, they will prove them selves special pleaders of so high an or der that we would consider them enti tled to life passes on the U. P., to say nothing of silent partnerships In prof itable hash houses along its line. Wo would like to call the attention of our young friend Sup't Irving to a fact. When the management of the B. & M. saw fit to remove some of their offices to Omaha, although it was con sidered detrimental to tin's town, and unjust by many of our people, no harsh words followed them, no coarse epithets were applied to the officers of the road, and no idiotic threats of re taliation; but the chief paper(?J of the town they have chosen as their so call ed "headquarters," on Use slightest pro vocation, on the mere assumption that they are looking after their bet inter ests, designates its principal officers as "cut-throats" and robbers. How does it set, brother Irving? COUNTY AFFAIIiS. SPEND Y0FU MONEY AT HOME. - i First, It is your home; you cannot improve it much by taking money away to invest. Second There is no way to improve a place so much as to encourage good mechanics, good schools, and good peo ple to settle among ou, and this cannot be done unless you spend your money at home. Third Spend your money at home because there is where you get it. It is your duty. Fourth Spend your money at home, because when it is necessary for you to get credit, it is of your own town mer chants you have generally to get it, and they must wait for it. Therefore when you have the cash in hand spend it at home. Fifth Spend your money at home It will make better merchants of your merchants; they can and will keep bet ter assortment, and sell at lower rates than if only the business they can do is what is credited out, while the money goes to other places, Sixth Spend your money at home You may have sons growing up who may be some day the best merchants in town. Help lay down the foundaton now. It is a duty. It may be your pride in after years to say: "By my trading at the store I got my son a position as clerk and now lie is propri etor." Then you will think it hard if jour neighbor spends his money out of town. Set the example now. Seven Spend your money at home. set the example now. luv your drv goods, jrroceries. meats, and evervthin at luiiii', and yon will see a wonderful change in a short time in the buisness outlook of the place, therefore deal with your home merchants. Eighth Spend your money at home; what do you gain by going off? Count the cost and see what you would have done by letting jpoor merchants have the cash. Strike a balance and see if you would not have been as well oil, besides helping your merchants. Ninth Spend your money at home. Your merchants are your neighbors; your friends ; they stand by you in your sickness are your associates; without your tr;ule they cannot keep in bus iness. No stores, then no banks, no one wantng to buy property to settle on to build up your place. Tenth. Meichauts should do their advertising at home. They should get their bill heads, circulars, cards, letter heads, envelopes, and ail their printing at home, of their own newspaper, which aids them in many ways, and advertises them hundreds of times without any pay whatever. Merchants should set the example to their cu.tom eis. by patronizing liberally their home newspapers. Men and women are imitative animals and prone to follow the example set thein. How can mer chants expect their neighbors to trade with them if they set the example of going away from horns for their print ing and advertising? Let merchants and people patronize home enterprise, home industry and home trade. So shall they all be prosperous and happy. There is some talk of removing the headquarters of the Platte from Omaha, to some point in the vicinity of Salt Lake. Utah.

Among the notable events, in Cass County during the past few weeks, such as the- discovery of immense coal beds, the collapse of the Weeping Wa ter Jiejlster and the holding of a regu lar term yf Court, we have have also struck a rara acis in these parts a new Democratic red hot reform Com missioner. His name is Ramsey ; you may have heard of him. He beat our friend Hoover last fall and we think our doughty captain must have thrown some old world. Black forest, magic German spell over the hitherto un clouded intellectof the renowned Ram sey, in order that time in its celebrated "whirligig" may bring around to the Captain its oft-asserted and inevitable "revenges." Mr. Ramsey has objected to every bill but one, we believe, that has been brought before their highnesses, the Commissioners, since his advent in the board. That one was for verv "dirty work," he said, and he allow ed it. He beats all the lawyers we ever saw at objecting. When a lawyer objects, however, he must sustain his objection before an impartial judge. In this case of course the judge will be the people, and we understand Mr. Ram sey proposes to leave his case there next fall for them to decide in a race for Legislative honors, where he will have a still larger field to object in, and may become famous, should he happen to get elected, as the great american ohjei-tor ; even as Jim. Doom, another celebrated Cass County politician, be came famous as the great sii'jtjtsler. The IIkrat.d at present, is of the opinion that Ramsey is wasting more time than he is saving money to the county, but we propose to help him along all we known how and when he gets done with all his objections, and lias proved everyone else a rogue or a rascal but himself, and that next fall gets around here then that IIkuald will calmly, dispassionately sum up the Dr. and Cr. side of ledger and if Mr. Ramsey has really accomplished any permanent and truly economical reform, then will the Hkkald hold up both hands for him and shout: Ram sey! tiii the granite boulders in the great Weeping Water valley shall re sound with our cries. Mr. Ramsey, like many another neophyte, has suddenly found himself removed from tiie quiet and secluded hauhts of a country schoolmaster, ac customed to contact with subordin ate and inferior intellects, completely under his command, and where pleas ant theories of abstract right are relig iously taught and believed by both ped agogue and pupil, to actual contact with the great public world as it is; he finds himself confronted with the facts of public duties instead of the theories of how it ought to be done. If he passes through this ordeal and comes out successful, he will have to become something more than a chron ic objector. jxirts, as works of grr-at literary art, and caused thij pvoph? to rush madiy after the Hi:i:alis containing lhe:n.

It OUT ! ! the printing and the literary workc-.v, costs hardly half a cent a day, a sum and they sold their papers for a price easily saved, while iU practical hints Among the bills particularly object ed to by the new commissioner, are the printing bills. First, for printing the bridge report, for which the Huu ald kindly cha'ged half rates, viz: So'o.OO. Whether Mr. Ramsey thinks we ought not to have published it at all, or that the Commissioners ought not to have ordered it published, or tht the IIkuald should have publish ed it free of expense, his .vritten pro test does not say. Verbally, he makes just this three-liold ohection, if we un derstand him correctly. We join issue with our friend, tiie new Commissioner, and in giving our view of his objections we shall try and help him along the thorny road toward the calm and peaceful haven of true reform, by a few lessons in political economy. First, the HniiALD is a newspaper employing several persons, and with considerable capital invested. The persons so employed depend on our judgment and business tact to enable them to receive their wages. It is both our duty and our right to receive afaircompenstionforo-.tr own labor, and for the use of the money so invest ed. Therefore we certainly should not feel warranted in refusing any kind of a public report or any other le gitimate business offered us, simply because one political party or the oth er, or a private party, does net like the substance of the report. The people had petitioned the Com missioners for a published report on those bridges and we suppose they con sidered themselves bound, as servants of the people, to have th report pub lished. At all events it is a matter the Hkbalij has nothing to do with, and can in no wise affect the justice of our bill. Lastly, If any logical icason can be given why the surveyors and the in spectors should be paid for making that report, or even the carpenters for building the bridges, and the Commis sioners themselves, while sitting in iudcrnient on these matters, should re.- 1 ceive pay for their work, ami a news I paper should not charge for its work in printing the same, we will with draw the bill. Any reason that will lie in equity, in law or in moral obli gations if Mr. Ramsey, can educe tiny the editor of this papaer will refund the money cheerfully, but when we do we want all other employees of the county, the commissioners included, to donate their work for the public good also. We will stand that game as long as they can. It should be given as an item of news Mr. 15. urges, "we pay for the pa per" says R. "and we are entitled to the news" so! Let us see; that brings us around to a few words about to cover this charge, from lUo to 2c our money, or from -So.-d to 13 a year. Very small beside our papers some of thein were toj. The early pipers of this country were printed an I sold on the same plan. At these rates only those who had great natural tastes for reading, or who were pecuniarily "well oil" could afford the luxury of newspa pers and per consequence become pos sessed of the knowledge and education in public matters that they impart. As another sequence of this tli!? rich and the aristocratic generally ruled the country, and the papers too, and all un gainly secrets that militated against these two classes were carefully exclu ded from public print and eye. It remained then, for Yankee ingen uity to invent a universal newspaper, a poor man's paper at' a poor man's price, one that was so cheap every one could buy, that was so readable every one must buy. He did it by adding to the reading or literary part of the pa per the room and space for advertising and by charging for the space occupied ty legal notices and all not ices, ordered bv the proper authority, that are for the regulation of order or the promo tion of civil law and the general well fare. Thus levying a tax, to a certain ex tent upon the willing and unwilling to promote the general good and the fur therance of general intellig nee (not news.) - In no other way could papers be sup ported in the present day. giving tiie news and information on public a trail's that they do. The subscription price does not cover the composition of the reading matter. If Mr. Ramsey will observe, papers devoted to purely liter ary matter ehargc much more, or the few weeklies that are published at any tiling near the price of county weeklies have by sensation articles or otherwise obtained an. immense general circula tion, anil in that case, they neither al low local advertisements or articles of special interest to a class of society on ly; nor would they sell any part of their reading space for county matter or public news at any reasonable rate. Let us try a little arithmetic, the tryo in mathematics can work this or.t. If a weekly literary 'paper at i?2 p -r year had 4!i,0J circulation and could make j per cent, or one cent on each copy that would be S52ii,t. ), a very handsome income. On the other hand a county paper with 1,0;) ) circulation making the same amount per copy, would get 6"00: a sum so ridiculously small that every one can see the result of running a county paper o:i subscrip tion alone even if it were po sii le lo mak ,'4 per cent 011 an issue of 1,000. which of course is preposterous. Or another way, 1,000 copies of a county paper and very f ?w Counties take to excee-I 1,000 S,0' , one fourth of that is inevitably lost in bad sub scriptions, say it netts j?lo'.)0. It takes about $s."0 per year for white paper alone. Such a paper as the IIkkaLd could not be run with less than three persons whose wag s at Hie lowest av erage would be ;l week or sMS'O per year. This is purely for mechani cal work, add to that ink, wastage, the Si 1st investment, or the wear and tear of types and machinery, to say nothing of editorial work, and it must be plain to even Mr. Ramsay's capacity that a county paper of any dimensions and edited with anv sort of ability cannot be run on the money from its subscrip tion alone, and that the paying of t4 per year does not entitle t'.ie general reader or the county to have any amount and all kinds of reading mat ter insetted lice of charge. For these and other reasons, wir:e men, and men tiiat have been called statesmen, have thought it better to to foster ami encourage the press, not cripple and hamper it. BY POSTAL CARD.
