The "Woman's Christian Temperance
Union will meet Thursday the 29th at
o o'clock in the Reading room. Mem
bers are earnestly. requested to attend.
Rev, Mr. DeLaMatyr delirered an
excellent address before the Red Rib
bon Club on Monday evening, closing
with earnest and well chosen words in
behalf of the Temperance Building.
Active measures will be taken to carry
on this necessary enterprise without
delay.
Special mention in this column is
due Dr. Dio Lewis, whose proudest dis
tinction is that of being the Father
of the Crusade, on account of the in
terest he has manifested in this child
of the Crusade, our "Union", during
his frequent visits in Plattsmouth.
As mentioned in the Herald last weet,
his two recent lectures, (the proceeds
of which amounted to nearly $30.) were
delivered for the benefit of the Read
ing room, while he has never accepted
one cent in any place for his work in
the Temperance cause.
His second lecture "Our Girls", was
full of practical common sense; and
the conversational episode at the
close, had a great many dollars worth
of doctoring in it, if people would put
in practice what they heard.
Ar the time dirt was first broken
for the B. & M. at Plattsmouth. the
well known contractor, John Fitzger
ald threw the first shovel full and
made the opening address. Mr. Fitz
gerald's speech, if we remember cor
rectly, was about as follows: "Gentle
men,"! am not much of a speech-maker;
but I am at heme where work is to
be done." We now nominate John
Fitzgerald to break the first dirt on the
Lincoln & Northwestern, when the
time comes. Journal.
If Kellogg is ousted his fate should
be a warning to all weak-kneed and
trimming Republicans. It is said
when he wanted Republican Senators
to aid him. they reminded him of how
lie went back on Coibin, of South Car
olina, in alike place. Moral. If poli
ticians want friends they should stick
by those who have helped them and
aided the party.

containing a speech made by Gen. E
F. Cunningham before the Bullion
Board there. It is one of the General's
best efforts, being a crisp, comprehen
sive review of the mining develop
ments of tha Black Hills. He was lis
tened to with great interest, it is said,
by the New Yorkers, and we hope has
accomplished his object and benefitted
the mining interests of the Black Hills
country.
Forty-Sixth Congress.
SEXATH IUOTEF.DIN;S.
Washington, May 2G. Mr. Bayard's
bill making subsidiary coins a legal
tender and exchangeable for lawful
money in sums not exceeding twenty
dollars was considered.
Mr. Edmunds spoke, and then con
sideration began of the bill heretofore
introduced by Mr. McDonald, authoriz
ing the employment of the militia and
land and naval forces in certain cases
and to repeal the election laws.
Mr. McDonald claimed that the re
spective states have the absolute right
to prescribe the machinery for con
ducting elections. No power for this
purpose was ever delegated to the gen
eral government, and it was never ex
ercised until of late years under the
authority of law through the agency of
supervisors. Debates in the conven
tion that adopted the constit ution sup
port the position he had taken, nor was
the principle departed from until 1870,
when a false plea of security and free
dom and fairness at elections was
urged as an excuse for the enactment
of an election law. The control of the
southern states was passing away from
the republicans, and hence they as
sumed the power of interfering at
elections for their own advantage.
At the conclusion of Mr. McDonald's
address Mr. Edmunds said ho intended
to spet k on the subject when it again
came up.
HOUSE.
WASiiixoTON.May 27 C a.m. It is
evident that the entire House branch
of the Democratic committee of safety
favor aban loning the contest until
next winter as soon as the veto of the
Legislative bill shall be received, and
of passing a concurrent resolution ex
tending the appropriations of the exe
cutive, judicial and legislative bill and
of the army bill with conditions, these
conditions would of course cover the
same ground covered by the political
features of these two political appro
priation bills.
THE WARNER BILL.
To-day's meeting of the senate
finance committee is look?d for with
interest. Senator Jones (of Nevada),
the only absent member, has been tele
graphed for and i.-t expected to arrive.
There is little doubt that the commit
tee will report the Warner bill to the
senate. It is also believed the senate
will act upon it at the present session.
SECRETARIES SIIEKMAN'XI) SCIIURZ
do not propose to have any Democrat
rise in the House next winter and
move their impeachment on the ground
that they attempted to carry on the
government, and have pledged the
faith of government for any supplies
in the absence of an appropriation
bill. Accordingly, at the bottom of the
advertisement for proposals for station
ery for those departments, the follow
ing i found: "No awards will be made
under this advertisement until Con
gress shall hare male the ressnry
impropriation."
How Prohibition Prohibits.
It is in an Iowa town of 25,000 in
habitants where for four years the city
has elected a temberance council. The
first year the issues werercgulary made
up and the contest was one of the
most earnest and protracted, resulting
in a majority under ten for the reform
ticket. Prephecies that the town
would cease its growth and retrograde
were numerous, but a year proved the
fallacy of this, and at the end of the
first year the city marshal was not
much more than an officer in name.
Each succeeding city election gave
increased majorities for the temper
ance or popular ticket; this too, with
out extra effort or agitation, for the
experiment was a success and the peo
ple saw it. At tho last city election
in the town there was but one ticket
11.. f!.u m i .
m me neia. xne movement nad m-
creasod in strength; the movement
was popular, and the people had re
ceived three years' education on a sub
ject previously little considered. The
practical results show a police court
never needed, the town prosperous in
every particular; and improvements
were made without a license tax. The
main street was rock macadamized
and a sidewalk laid upon every street
in the coiporate limits of the place
under prohibition rule.
Prohibition there is a permanent fix
ture, adapted by the the entire place,
and proves the fact claimed the riht
and just principle of all true govern
ment. Hundreds of towns need but
one years' experiment to prove the
same result; and one years' experi
ment will convince a majority in any
town in the west that the license sys
tem is a failure and a farce on its face.
Jntlge Wcsihrook L'pon the Liquor
TraCIc.
National Teti)j)eranca Advocate.
Judge Westbrook, in a late charge to
the grand jury of the Ulster County
(N, Y.) Oyer and Terminer, made a
powerful arraignment of the liquor
traffic, from which we quote as fol
lows :
" We are also, gentlemen, required by
the statute to charge you in regard to
the violation of tho laws of the Stale,
known a3 the 'Excise Laws,' which
regulate and control the sale of intox
icating drinks. I have nurnoselv left
this for the last of the special charge
which I an now making to you, be
cause I deem it to be perhaps the most
important of all things to which your
attention can be called, No practice
tends more to the violation and break
ing of all law than the habit of drink
ing. It is useless to talk about it. If
you have eyes you can see it. If you
have ears you can hear it. You can
go anywhere in this county, or any
where in this State, and the evils
springing up trom this traffic will
meet you at every step wherever you
may be. It has stricken down many
an individual and sent him to an un
timely grave. It has broken up many
a household and sent many a person to
the jail, to the prison, and to the poor
house. This has been said to you
again and again, and yet, strange to
say, it is almost impossible to quicken
the consciences of grand jurors that
they will see that these laws which
regulate the sale of liquors are en
forced. Whyisthisso? Is this traffic
beyond the law? Is this business
something which the law cannot reach
and control? Are you a merchant?
You expect to observe the law in your
pursuits. Are you a farmer? You
obey the mandates of the law. Every
avocation everywhere is governed and
con'. n;!-l by the law, but, strange to
say, this traffic Haunts itself right in
the very teeth ai.d eyes of justice, and
justice seems to be paralyzed in its
presence paralyzed in Its presence,
when all the evils of this traffic are be
fore us continually, and when we
know that of all the evib with which
the land is afflicted, it is the greatest
curse which exists and rests upon it."
lie polr.'ed ou many flagrant j
violations of the law by liquor sellers,
and exhorted the grand jury- in very
earnest terms to fidelity to their oaths
in dealing with this class of offenders,
In sentencing a prisoner convicted
of the crima of arson, committed under
the influence of . strong drink, Judge
Westbrook took occasion to say:
" For mysel f, I am prepared to say
and do say, that I am opposed to all
dealing in intoxicating drinks, under
any and every form. The bar shall
not with my countenance, tempt men
to ruin and crime, whether it bo in the
gilded tavern or the filtffy corner gro
cery. Looking above for help, I pledge
my official and personal action against
it, and Invite the co-operation and the
prayer3 of Gcd-fearing men and women
in the same direction." '
Such a judge is an honor to tho ju
diciary of his State, and a powerful
ally for the causa of temperance, right
eousness -and good order.
. We managed to find time on Friday
afternoon to attend for a short time
the closing exercises at the school, al
though only enabled to investigate the
doings of the higher department. As
the exhibition had taken place some
weeks earlier, the scholars had noth
ing to distract their attention from
the examinations which seems a com
mendable plan as the examinations of
the present day are enough to exhaust
both teacher and scholar without any
other drain upon them. In some of the
lower rooms, we believe some decla
mations and music were given, but
not possessing the fairy gift of being
in several places at once we were
obliged to forego the pleasure of hear
ing them, and reporting their merits
and demerits.
Just previous to closing in the up
per rooms, Prof. Love gave th9 stand
ing of each of the pupils in their var
ious classes, and we were pleased to
see that the marking seemed very just
and not done to make as high standing
as possible without regard to the real
merits of the pupil; and we were glad
also to learn that the pupils seomed to
grow more eager to learn as they ad
vanced, and to realize why they were
studying and what they were study
ins for. More than a dozen of the
scholars in the higher department are
now teaching in the county, so that the
class was quite small.
All in all wo feel that the present
state of our schools is highly encour
aging, and we trust thui tho same nol-
icy pursued will bring them to a state
of excellence which will be a pride to
the town.
Tho Races.
All Nebraska seems to have gone
wild on racing. The Hastings' races
ollowed the Lincoln races, and be
tween those and the great exhibition
at Omaha this week they sandwiched
in a little homo work at Fremont.
AT HASTINGS.
it rained on Tuesday, and the races
were deferred until Wednesday (14th).

AT FREMONT
Wednesday and Thursday. The Her
ald says :
The races, yesterday afternoon did
not .attract a very large crowd, owing
to tho threatening appearance of the
clouds, but they were, nevertheless,
full of exciting interest. The first
race, which took in the three-minute
class, was won by " 'Woodbury Chief,"
Kneebs' grey, in four heats. The sec
ond money was taken by W. A. Mar
low's "Wild Irishman." There is con
siderable dissatisfaction over this race
on account of the jockeying on the part
of the drivers. Tho second race, tak
ing in the 2:2.1 clas3, was won by Tom.
Gray's " Iowa Girl," in three straight
heats, and the second money by " Lady
Mac," of Plattsmouth.
Thursday there was a free for all;
only three entries: Kate Misner, Da
kota Maid and Lady Mac, and they
took the money in the order above.
The track was h'.avy; best time 2:36
as announced from the stand. Those
who kept the time, however, declare
that 2:34 was made. As Kate Misner
and Dakota Maid are now entered at
Omaha in a 2:2t class, Lady Mac
couldn't have had much chance there.

Ed. Herald: Tho small showers
last week were very delightful, they
have made small grain grow rapidly,
if it don't turn too wet, a rich and ear
ly harvest will be anticipated.
Corn is growing very fast and is
ahead of any season in the last few
years, most farmers have commenced
cultivating it.
A large acreage of barley wa3 sown
here this spring, but it seemed as if it
had joined the temperance cause and
only about one fifth of it came up,
some fields look miserably bad.
Mr. Pago has lo3t sixty head of hogs,
he thinks they died of the cholera.
