Eastern people would get the im pression from the reports of the recent severe storm that all of Nebraska suf fered, whereas only the western por tion felt it at all and the storm was principally in Wyoming and Colorado. Eastern Nebraska having only a rain storm, which brought out the buds on the trees and caused the gras? to spring up almost as bv magic. Senators Paddock and Saunders are having quite a bout with Eastern Sen ators, about the "Timber culture Act now proposed. Some of the Wiseacres thought the bill was too liberal, others that Cottonwood, willow and poplar ought to be prohibited an I lots of oth er nonsense. Our Senators proved that a man fair ly earned the land who would keep trees growing ten years and that each settler "out west" hud seiise enough to know what kind of trees he needed or " were most profitable better than some old granny "down c ast."

On the 23d insi. a sudden storm struck and capsized the steamer Eury Uice, oft! the coast of England near the Isle of Wight. There are but two sur vivors of the 320 persons on board. In consequence of a strong ebb tide at the time, the bodies are not expected-to come ashore. All hands M ere muster ed on deck for prayers at the time of the disaster. But for a passing schoon er nothing would have been known of the disaster, as everything on the sea was hidden from those on shore. The schooner Emma passing the Eurydice at the time rescued five persons, includ ing Lieut. Francis II. Tabor, after they had been an hour in the water. Three of these died, so the only survivors of the disaster are Benj. Cuddiford, able seaman, and Sidney Fletcher, first clas3 boy. At the time of going to press, no public action has been taken on our City affairs. It is thought by many that the old officers, Mayor, Treasurer and Clerk, should be re-nominated. We do not believe the City could do better. There are important matters connected.with our finances that need the careful attention of careful men. New men coming in would have to study the points all up again, and by the time they got ready to act, their time of service would be over. The Herald is decidedly in favor of the old members thus far. This year set tles the matter whether Plattsmouth remains a city or not. it is oi me highest importance that the offices be filled by those whom thinking people trust. In the wards the trial will be, we presume, between high license and low That is all well enough; in either case we are likely to get enough good busi "hess men elected, who in connection with those holding over, will form a safe and reliable Council on the principal matters that will come before the City government thi3 year.

Under the fostering caro of Mr. Hathaway it was com menced and nourished eight years; un der the present management it is now in its sixth year. It is one of the oldest county papers in the stale and none have been more uniformly successful or had less changes of proprietors and ed itors. For 13 years, it has never miss ed an issue and but two or three times has it ever been late a day, appearing every Thursday. We have taken great pride in its typograpical appearance and few papers in the state come out habitually as neat, clear and well printed as the Herald. Published all at home, and having the largest circu lation iu the county, now constantly on the increase.it forms one of the best advertising medium3 in the state, for every kind of business. It takes time money and skill to start and keep a pa per on iLs feet without change, as this one has Deen kept. During the hard est times we have ever had too, lately. The citizens of the county should be proud of their newspaper and en courage its prosperity in every way.

Senator Edmunds says there are so many Presidential candidates on the committee on judiciary that business is very much behind. He says that on the day when the committee meets, Conkling will come in first and find a slim attendance He will sit a little while, impatiently, and say: "Well, I don't suppose there will be a quorum this morning ai d I have other matters to attend to. If Davis and Thurman would drop their Presidential aspir ations and attend to committee business we could do something." And he will go out. Then Thurman will come in and ask: "Where's Conkling?" When told that he had been in and left to look after other matters, he will say: "Where's Davis?" "Davis hasn't come." "Well," Thurman will say "Conkling and Davis have got the Presidency on the brain, and of course we can't "expect anything of them. Call me when you get a quorum." And he will go out. Then Davis will come in and say: "Well, Conkling and Shurman are" absent az tin. Those two men are so busy working up their Presidential campaigns that they neglect their Senatorial duties."

So through the masterly management of Mr. Broad ths tables are turned again, and the whole field again open for a fair fight on the merits of this railroad litigation, which is very much the heaviest litigation that ever origi nated in the county, and our people here still hold this inside track in the fight. Letter From Mr. Fiuch. Hastings, March 25, 1878. Editor Herald: I very much re gret that my engagements will prevent me from accepting the kiml invitation of the Red Ribbon Club to return to your city and assist you in the battle with immorality and drunkenness, for the battle against the licensing of sa loons can be considered in no other light: A saloon is licensed to sell in toxicating liquors as a beverage, the drinking of intoxicating liquors as a beverage makes drunkards. Intoxicat ing liquors are cither necessary as a beverage or they are not necessary as a beverage. If intoxicating liquors are necessary as a beverage, then the saloon is necessary, for its only pur pose is to sell liquor as a beverage, while, on the contrary, if intoxicating liquors are not necessary, men tne sa loon is not necessary. The ablest phy sicians and chemists in the world have declared that these liquors are not on ly wholly unnece.-sary as a beverage, but always injurious, hence the saloon is not only unnecessary but always in jurious to the public good. Even the liquor sellers admit the dangerous and injurious effects of their traffic and base their claim to protection upon the old worn out falsehood, "prohibition doe3 not prohibit, consequent!- it is better to license." I anticipate that the difference in men's views upon this question is principally as regards the merits of these two systems. All ad mit the necessity of destroying thi "curse of curses," but differ in regard to the best means to accomplish the end. I do not believe that there is an honest man in Plattsmouth but wishes to purge your fair city of this fearful pest, which not only ruins your men and boys at home, but also de stroys your fair reputation abroad. The first thing that should attract tiie at tention of every man favorable to the suppression of liquors is that every saloon keeper will work for license ar.d low license at that. The saloon kt-cp-er is in business to make money, and for that alone. The more liquor he sells the more money he makes, there fore, it is safe to infer that he will work for that method that enables him to sell most liquor. Every liquor deal er will work for liceuse and against prohibition, high license and temper ance men, because license is a bought privilege which elevates tae business of drunkard-making into respectability and affords protection to the drunkard maker, while prohibition, high license and temperance men injure the busi ness of drunkard-making because pro hibition prohibits and high license is practical prohibition. Prohibition, wherever tried, has proved a success. In December I wrote ex-Gov. Nelson Dingley, Jr., of Maine, asking him in regard to the present condition of tem perance work in that State. For an answer he sent me a copy of an address prepared by him iu Novembei last, in which he s lys: "It is a half a century since the ten. i perance movement was. iufcujurated in Maine; forty-three years sinco it was placed on the total abstinence basis; thirty-seven years since the practica-, bility of rescuing the intemperate from the influence of the fearful appetite for alcoholic liquors was generally ac cepted; thirty-six years since Maine first practically recognized the import ance of aiding moral enorts uy remov ing by law, so far as possible, the temp tations of the dram shop; and nearly five years since the reform movement among drinkiDg men was initiated in this State." He thenpresent3 statistics to show how completely prohibition has accom plished its object, but the following ex tract will give a good idea: "Statistics collected and published in , 1832. bv Secretary Pond, of the Maine State Temperance Association, showed that with a population of only 450,000, there were 2,000 places or bars in which intoxicating liquors were openly sold as a beverage one grog-shop to every 225 men. women and children. Nearly every store and tavern sold liquor by the glass. The sales ot these .ouu pla ces were ten millions annually, mainly cheap rum. or $20 for each inhabitant. At that time Maine was In the same condition as to the use of intoxicating liquors as other States. Since then there has been some improvement in the country at large. Statistics com piled in 1872 by Mr. l oung of the In ternal Revenue Department show that the sale of intoxicating liquors in the United States for the previous year were about six hundred million dollars. or 816-per inhabitant. Later estimates swell the sales to seven hundred mil lions, with the increase of population. This puts the average sale and con sumption of liquors in this country at the present time at SIC for every man, woman and child a marked gain of the whole country. "But Maine has gained much more than the country as a whole. Last year the sales of liquors by the hun dred town agencies in Maine ostensi bly for medical and mechanical pur poses, were nearly S 100,000; or with our present population of C25.000, about 15 cents per inhabitant. Instead of 2,000 open bars, as we had in 1832, which with our present population would proportionally give us about 2,800 now, so far as I can learn there is no bar or place in our State where liquor is openly sold in known defiance of law. How much there is secretly sold i3 largely a matter of conjecture The friends of temperance think not over $500,000 making the aggregate sales in the State, 8GO0.00O, or $1 per inhabitant. The wildest enemies of temperance do not set the aggregate sa'.es higher than one million dollars, or less than 82 per inhabitant. Con cede even this high estimate, ana we have the sale and use of intoxicating liquors in Maine only one-tenth what they were forty years ago. and one- eight what they are to-day on tne av age in the remainder of the Union. More specific statistics point to sim ilar conclusions as to the marked re duction in the use andsale of intoxi cating liquors in Maine. In 1830 there were thirteen distilleries in tins State, manufacturing about one million gal lons of rum (two gallons to each in habitant), all of which, together with 300,0t0 gallons of imported liquors, were consumed in the State to make no account of fermented liquors and cider drank. Now there is not a single dislillery or brewery iu the State. Of the five hundred taverns in the State in 1633 all but forty had an open bar. Now no tavern in Maine lias an open bar. and not one in ten sells liquor ev en surreptitiously to guests. In 1833 nearlv every store in tne State sold liq uor as calico and molasses. Now there is not known to be a general trader in the State who sells liquor." He then takvs a large number of towns iu detail and shows the great change in each, and sajs: Nearly all the rural towns report that whenever an intemperate drinker n any of those places .vants liquor, he is ooiigea to go loone oi im-nau uo.en cities in Ih-Male; so lli.il practh'aliy most f I he cases of drunkeni. s for the a lioir .Male, ale cii;iiU'nlrii in thu largest places, where liquor is st- creted ; or begin there and are co::tii. li ed after the return of the victims io their homes. Reports even lion; these cities show that itiLliouM tnere are man? :u lfsts for t'.ruiikeniies.s. yet a very iarge pn poi ti:i are nou-i esiden'.s who come, i rum the country. As all persons untb r tlie iidluence of liquor are arrested by the city police, the re turns of arrtst for drunkenness seem large ir. comparison with arrests for a similar cause in communities v.neie no person is arrested for this caiue un less be is juurelsonie statistics show an equally marked mitigation of the evils of intemperance in this State. Secretary Pond, in his report of 1873, covering returns for a large number of towns, stales that the previous year, when the stale had only two-thirds of its present population there were ten thousand persons (one out of every 43 of the population) ac customed to iretting beas.ly drunk, and that ")0 of them were women; that there were 203 (equivalent to 3-0 with pres-nt population) deaths in a single year from dtlirium tremens; that there were one thousand live hundred paup-rs equivalent to 2,200 now) brought into this condition by drink ing; that there were 300 convicts (equivalent to 450 for present popula tion) in the stale prison and in jails; and that a large proportion of the homes, even in the rural parts of the, state, were going to ruin on account of the intemperance of the owners. " Now, the most careful investiga tors are confident that not one out of three hundred of the population are drunkards ; that the annual deaths from delirium tremens are not fifty; tl at the number of drunken paupers and convicts in prisons and jails, aside from those incarcerated for se'ling liq uor is reduced, notwithstanding the increase of criminal tramps during the past four years, and notwithstanding so bire a proportion of our Liesent crinii i t s and p.iupers come from for : eigners. f whom we I compar.it iv& J ly mne fortv years a;o. The increase ; thrift of the iifop'e is very nnp.n cut iu j the appearance of the dwellings." I My own observation during an ex tended trip in M.dne fully corrobor ates this testimony. Vineland, N. J., a city of ten thousand inhabitants, in which the sale of liquor is prohibited by law, during the year 1872 paid S7.5 for criminal police and paup r tax, whi'e cities where the license sys'.em ii most extensively in vogue, as Xew York and Chicago, are bankrupt with delt. The Utica (N. Y.) Daily llcpn! lican, Senator Conkling's organ, says in its issue of Ftb. 26: Prohibition is only a question of time. Tne public mind will com to it. not only for the benefit of the habit- uil drinker, but for the protection of our young men who are being thought lessly drawn into the rlame through the allurement of the billi trd saloon and the social custom of treating. Young and inexperienced, and as w ill fill ami egotistical as they are weak and igno aut of the dangers that besi t them, some effectual shield ought to be thrown around them. We know of nothing so effective as would be the J lo.al proLibition of tLe sale and ue of intoxicating drinks as a bevernge. This wirPcome when public sentiment is ripe for it. 1 hen it will be found that the prohibition wrongs nobodr, and the argument in its favor will be conclusive and satisfactory." . This view musi be indorsed by every thinking mind. Either the liqucr traffic is right or it is wrong. If it is right every man ought to support it and aid it, while if it is wrong no man of fionor can support it. Believing that Plattsmouth will take no step backward in this work for the up building of the morals of man, I re- main, Your Friend, Jno. B. Finch A record kept by Capt.

The following Cure is probably the most remarkable ever effected by any medi cal preparation for the treatment of Catarrh I Centlemn. I herrhr certify thnt I hare had Ca tarrh for ten years, and for the lakt six year have been a terrible ufferer. I was rendered partially deaf, had buzzing in the hed. pains across the tem ple, dizzy spells, weak and painful eyes, swollen ana ulcerated tonsils, hard and constant conch, aeTere pain across the chest, and every Indication of consumption. Mv head ached all the time. The natter accumulated so rapidly In my head and throat that I could not keep them free. Frequently at DlKht I would spring ont of bed, it seemed to me, at the point of suffocation. I would then have recourse to every means In my power to dlalodtre the muens from my throat and lie ad before being able to sleep sealn. For a period of six years my tonsils were nlrerated and so mncb Inflamed that I could with dimculty swallow. I finally consulted an eminent surgeon lu regard to an operation on them, bnt at his request postponed It. The constant In flammation and ulceration In my throat caused by the poisonous matter dropping down Irom my hes-l bad so Irritated aud inflamed my luntrs that I cough ed Incessantly, a deep, hard rough. Meanwhile my system began tosliowtho effectaof this disease, so that I lost flesh, grew pale, and showed every symptom of an early death by consumption. When matters had reached this stage, or about six months ago, I began tbe use of 8a n roup's liADicaL Curb Foi Catakeh. Alter using the first bottle I began to Improve rapidly. The first dose seemed to clear my bead as I had not known it to be for years. It aeemed gradually to arrest the discharges. it gradually mv cou'n i ttopprit my cough ta three tiny. By unlng it as crargtel soon reduced the Inflammation and swell ing ig of my tonsils, bo tl.ut t hey soon ceased to troubll me. The soreness across inr chest disappeared, the buzzing noises In icy head ceased, my senses of eeing and of hearing were completely restored, nd every symptom of disease tbat had reduced me to the verge of the grave disappeared by tuo uau of Saxpokd's Radical Curb fob Catarrh. I have been Urns explicit because, as a druggist, I have seen a great deal of suffering from Catarrh, and hope to couviuco many Uutt Uit la great remedy. I am familiar with tbe treatment of Catarrh as practised by the best physicians, and have consult ed the mobt eminent about my case. I have used very kind of remedy and apparatus that have ap peared during a period of six years past, and have, while following their use, taken great caro of my frencral health, but obtained no relief or encourage ment from an v of them.
