PLATTSMOUTH. JULY 17, 1879.
We call attention to the health rc
lort requested by Maj-or Johnson.
Remember, our Teachers Institute
bomniences Monday. Frof. Martin
dale, Prof. Lovo and others will be
here.
Dr. J. T. Hat of Falls City has re
ceived the appointment of assistant
physician of the Hospital for the In
sane.
Wk hop,p Chairman R.iwes will call
the Hep. Convention at Omaha this
time. For many reasons it is better
it should meet there.
The Republican (Omaha) had better
fcnga;;e Dr. Miller to edit thai paper
too. They seom to have a better opin
ion of his talents than of their own
force.
Gen. Grant has changed his mind
and will not bo home for a year yet.
It is said that tho officious meddling
of those who want to make him Pres
ident has caused his delay.
Gere, of the Journal ha gone to
Colorado for his health; and the Jour
nal is almost crazy over the railroads
running in and out of Lincoln, calls
her a "hub" and so on. Better have
the new physician to tho insane pre
scribe something for "them fellers."
Tim yellow fever excitement seems
to have abated entirely. Only two
cases were authenticated in Memphis
and no others have succeeded them
so, it is to be hoped our southern breth
ren will be spared even a slight repe
tition of last summer's fell calamity
The law complications over the
Noel ease at Greenwood are amusing
however unsatisfactory or prickly
they may be to the parties interest
ed. I he last heard of the jjooils,
Morrison had moved thorn to Platts-
mouth or somewhere, and the rest
were hunting for them.
To get even with the move of theU.
P. on the state of Ueatrice, the B. &
M. people propose to run from York to
Grand Island, and thus invade U. I
Territory. Big game of chess these
locomotive fellows are playing on our
broad green boards just now. "Check
who takes the king don't pawn your
credit too strong, boys, and the game
is ours.
From the Omaha Reporters.
Bishop Gilbert Haven (M. E. Church)
says Sherman shoved his arm down
Hayes back to "stillin" him that there
is no such thing as a "Hayes Republi
can. A man can be a Hayes man
but never a Hayes Hepublkan, and
that Grant is to be thanked that we
have any nation at all and ought to be
sent back to the "White House."
Isn't it about time this University
row is , closed, "Trial by newspa
per" has done its perfect work and
no further good can or will be accom
plished, while much harm abroad is
being done. It is plain that the pres
ent Regents propose to let things re
main in statu quo for their successors
and as tho people have the oppDrtunity
next frt.ll. they can and should decide
through the election of Ragants what
changes, if any, are needed.
Xte of the News thinks Gere and
Brook3 should fight a duel ou the
23d of July at 12 m.-dark of the
moon. Why, oh Avhy! shoold they
come nih. If this battle of word3
keeps oh, the rest of the country will
have cause t think that it is not the
"bucolic press" alone that has a limber
tongue when it gets on its ear; but
that the Urb.tn editors' ears get out of
tune now and then and unlimber his
tongue likewise.
MacDoVaoh an d his Watchman are
at Omaha, you know. In his saluta
tory there he says, fever'n'ague drove
him out of the "Bluffs" and their slow
ness praises Omaha immensely and
winds up with tho following charac
teristic MacD'-ism.
We propose to give you a live, racy,
red-hot paper, once a week, all the year
round. We will be as independent as
a hog on ice rendering to Caesar what
belongs to him, and giving evea hisSa

and be courteous to all, but we don't
propose to tondy to any sq ueezicks that
ever wielded a tooth-pick.
THE NEGRO EXODUS
HERE AT LAST.
10.1 COLORED PEOPLE ACROSS THE
KITER
Froni Lddisiana and Mississippi.
Ex-Governor Win. Allen, of Ohio,
died very suddenly at Chilicothe,
last Saturday morning:, and was bur
ied on Monday, an immense con
course of people attending the funer
cral. Mr. Allen was known as "Fog
Horn'' Allen, on account of his pow
erful voice which in his best daj-s
could be heard by thousands of peo
ple in the open air, speaking, and
-Rise up" Willir.ni Allen, because af
ter man' years of political retire
ment he was again brought out as a
candidate for Governor and elected.
He was an energetic, useful, hon
est man and citizen. A strong dem
ocrat through life, -his personal
character was unimpeachable, and
he goes to his long rest with the
proud consciousness of having per
formed his whole duty as he saw it,
and with the respect of his fellow
men of whatever turn of mind politi
cal! v.
What Shall be Done With Them.
Democratic Consistency.
Rico the' dem. candidate for State
Governor of Ohio is a banker, .a hard
money man, and running on a soft
money platform with Ewing, almost a
pronounced greenbacker; one of the
planks of their pi itform is far the abo
lition of National Banks.
Yesterday morning, early, the newi
spread n the street that ,250 negroes
were across the river awaiting trans
portation and billed for Plattsiuouth:
At once excitement arose, all sorts
of rumors were rife, all sorts f sug
gestions and many vague threats were
heard. We are sorry to recount that a
great many of our people did not rise
to the magnitude of the occasion and
realize that a great crisis in solving
one of the mightiest politic.il problems
of the d-iy was before them. That the
long talked of negro problem w.is at
the door, and talked a good deal of baby
talk about what ought ti be done with
them, what tho authorities ought to do
and especially what they would do if
they had the power. Luckily not many
of these very durinu kind of people
are in pjwer and if these poor people
are sent over here to-day as they may
be, we feel that the good sense of our
Mayor, Council, and leading men will
open tho way to dispose of them quiet
ly, honorably and satisfactorily.
BUT TO FACTS.
As soon as we ascertained that a lot
f Colored people were at East Platts
mouth, the Herald in company with
Mr. Mainland of the B. & M. and C. Is.
&, Q., and Mr. Bushnell of the Enter
prise proceeded over the river to ascer
tain just what were the facts and how
many there were.
WK FOVKD
115 grow n people, that is, those who
paid railroad fare and 1G3 persons in
all. Under tho charge of the Rev. B.
F. Watson, of the 1st Colored M. E.
Church at Kansas City.
They came from New Orleans, Ten
sas and Feliciana Parishes and a few
from Miss., to St. Louis and by Steam
er Durfee to Kansas City and from
thence by rail, 238 came to Kansas
City in the Durfee and 49 in the Joe
Kinney Saturday, of these 103 have
been forwarded hera it seems.
Considering their circumstance they
are clean, healthy looking people not
old, sickly or cripples; but mainly in'
the prime of life and ab'e to work.
Richmond Lewis a tall colored man
about forty-five, says he was a sheriff
of Feliciana served six years, and left
because now his life wa3 in danger.
A number said they believed that if
they had stayed any longer they would
have been shot, said it was only a
question of time when a colored man
who had any opinions of his own was
killed. (These were evidently men
who had taken some part in public
affairs) there were others who sesmed
to care nothing and know nothing of
politics or public affairs, but who said
they could not make a living there
that their employers would not keen
their promises and over charged them
for provisions and necessities so that
work as they might they never had
anything and they wanted to come to
some country where they could live in
peace, and earn a- home.
As high as thirty cents, per lb
had been charged for pickled pork
and thirty-five cents per peck for corn
meal.
They say they ean't go twenty miles
from Xew Orleans or as one expressed
it, he could go if he acted foolish and
pretended lie did not know anything
about affairs or had no opinion about
anything, of his own.
j;aton lioHge an old man came
aboard with his tilings. They put him
ashore. As the boat left he jumped
aboard and left his things behind, as
serting as a reason, that if he stayed
he would be dead before morning. All
declared that they were ready and wil
ling 10 woik, ana an they askeu was a
living and peace.
One said he sold 8303 of personal
goods for $50 to get money to come to
St. Louis with his family. They paid
their way to St. Louis; from there, the
"Committee" have paid their way and
furnished rations.
We give these items as thejr told
them to us, not vouching for the truth
or falsity thereof.
We asked a great many searching
questions, as follows:
Did any one induce or coax you to
come north by representing that you
could live here easier and without
work?
A. number answered, "Xo, we came
to get peace."
Did any one promise you land bore?
Xo; we want to earn a home, and are
willing to work."
Is it true that only the lazy and
shiftless, those who won't work come
north? Xo, no, we expect to work, all
we want is to get what we earn and
be able to keep it.
This is the substance of all the an
swers. e counted 41 women and
according to the number that paid fares
there aught to be 47 children in this
ot.
Whatever other squads may be this
one seem to be ready, willing and able
to work, and are no more paupers than
thousands of whites and foreigners.
who come west with only their brawn
and muscle and mother-wit to make a
iving.
We have very fortunately not been
called upon this time to take care of
these poor people, they having been
sent on to Omaha and elsewhere.
Plattsmouth is not a good place to send
such a host, hemmed in as we are on
two tides by rivers. Tho Committee
h-ivo this in charge should use
greater discretion, in throwing a large
and at first helpless, population on an
unwarnedcomm unity.
What we could have done with them
had they come over here no one could
answer, 1G3 is altogether out of pro
portion to our population.
It is probably the onlv solution of
the vexed and hitherto inexplicable
problem of the status oftheXogro in
this country. When they are 'dis
tributed more or less throughout the
country we shall have no more of the
Negro as a factor in public life, and
not before. Massed in one section
they area source of danger to them
selves, the community, and the gov:
crnment nt large. Their coming
north is part of the political problem
we arc called, upon to help solve.
We cannot shirk it nor avoid it, and
wc must meet it like men.
From Dr. Livingston, one of our
Fish Commissioners, who has just re
turned from a trip out west we hear
glowing descriptions of the crops. He
describes the entire "American Desert"
from Dorchester to Hastings as one
vast wheat farm n matter in which
direction one looks, it is a continuous
sea or goiuen waving wueac. ine
happy owner3 of these prolific acre3
are in the fields with headers and har
vesters, and tho numerous stacks at
test the abundance of the harvest.
He describes the corn crop fully as
good as any in old Cass, which has
from the earliest settlement been pro
verbial for her excellent corn crops.
From Hastings. to Red Cloud the sod
houses of early settlers are giving way
to handsome farm houses, and the crops
are just as good and as abundant as at
any other part of Nebraska. The Re
publican Valley lands are largely held
bv the old Nebraska Railway owners.
but numerous fine farms gladden the
eye where only a few years ago the
buffalo and antelope held undisputed
swav. He speaks of Red Cloud as a
fine growing town of about 1,000 ia
habitants full of push and vigor. The
old sod house that ex-Governor Gar
ber resided in is still there, in the
heart of the town, within a stone's
throw of his present elegant villa.
These two buildings in contrast are the
best advertisement an emigrant could
look bn, showing, as they do what hon
est industry caa accomplish. Of
course, they talked over tho fish
prospects of Nebraska, looked up good
hatching places, and so on, all of which
is matter for future consideration.

Notwithstanding the intense heat, a
good audience was in attendance at
the memorial service on last Mondav
night, thus giving expression to the
general sympathy.
The absence of Chaplain "Wright in
consequence of indisposition was much
regretted, as he was expected to take
a leading part in the exercises. Rev.
Mr. liaird and Prof. Wise however,
aptly voiced the universal sentiment
as to the virtues of our deceased friend,
the estimation in which he was held,
and particularly the great loss the tem
perance cause has sustained in his
death, while appropriate music well
rendered by the choir, added much to
the impressiveness of the occasion.
But the most eloquent tribute to his
memory was the emotion of President
Dovey, as in broken utterances he tried
to give expression to his and our loss.
May we all as temperance workers
strive to emulate Mr. Hinklo's consist
ency as well a3 earnestness; thus may
he being dead still speak to us.
Resolutions of respect to the mem
ory of 8. S. Xlinkle, and of sympathy
witli his afilicted family, by the W. C.
T. U. of Plattsmouth, mar, at this
hour, seem tardy and superlluous. His
death has been noticed and his mem
ory honored largely and feelingly.
Resolutions have been adopted by
the orders to which he belonged ex
pressive of their loss, and of sympathy
with that domestic circle where the
"vacant chair" at the board and at the
hearthstone is a constant reminder of
their immeasurable loss. Yet as tern
perance workers, we feel constrained,
as a body, to give some expression in
dicative of our high regard for our de
ceased friend, and of our heartfelt sym
pathy with his bereaved family
Therefore:
HcmArtd: That while we bow In submission
fo the JHvine will and feel that the Judgeof all
the earth w ill and does "do ritit." yet we must
acknowledge tliat III dispensations are otten
dark and mysterious, and seldom more so than
in t lim instance.
lUlree: That in Mr. Hinkle's death the
temperance cause in Plattsiuouth lias suffered
a irreat loss, and we can but inoimi that one so
ellicieut. active, enthusiastic, one to w iioui we
all looked for counsel and aid, and from whom
we expected so much should hare beeu thus
suddenly cut down in tlie midst ol so much
tfefulueps.
ltmitlred: That we expend to his family our
fineeient condolence and sympathy, inavinii
that He who Il ls taken their loved one to the
"lsright Heyond" may draw them closer to
Himself and irive them lareely "tlie oil of ior
for nioiiruiair and the garment of praiee for me
spirit of heaviness."

ilege of pleasing an appetite, of con
forming to a social usage, filling sixty
thousand homes with shame and sor
row, of loading the public with the
burden of pauperism, of crowding our
prison houses with felons, of detract
ing from the productive industries of
the country, of ruining "fortunes and
breaking "hopes, of breeding disease
and wretchedness, of destroying both
soul and body in hell before their time.
"The prosperity of the liquor inter
est, covering every department of it,
depends entirely on the maintenance
of this army. It cannot live without
it. It never did live without it. So
long as the liquor interest maintains
its present prosperous condition, it will
cost America the sacrifice of sixty
thousand men every year. The effect
is inseparable from the cause. The
cost to the country of the liquor traffic
is a sum so stupendous that any fig
ures which we would dare to give
would cenvict us of trifling. The
amouBt ot life absolutely destroyed,
the amount of industry sacrificed, the
amount of bread transformed into poi
son, the shame, the unavailing sorrow,
the crime, the poverty, the pauperism.
the brutalitv, the wild waste of vital
and financial resources, make an ag
gregate so vast so incalculably vast
that the only wonder is that the Amer
ican people do not rise as one man and
declare that this great curse shall ex
ist no longer. Dilettante conventions
are held on the subject of peace, by
men and women who una it neces
sary to fiddle to keep themselves
awake. A hue-and-cry is raised about
woman suffrage, as if any wrong which
may be involved in woman's lack of
the suffrage could be compared to the
wrongs attached to the liquor interest ?
" Does any sane woman doubt that
women are suffering a thousand times
more from rum than from any politi
cal disability?
"The truth is that there is no ques
tion before the American people to
day that begins to match in import
ance the temperance question. The
question of American slavery was
never anything but a baby by the side
of this; and we prophesy that within
ten vears, if uot within five, the whole
country will be awake to it and divid
ed upon it. The organization of the
liquor interest, the vast funds at its
command, the universal feeling among
these whose business is pitted against
the national prosperity and the public
morals these are enough to show that
upon one side of this matter, at least,
the present condition of thing3 and the
social and political questions that lie
in the immediate future are appre
hended. The liquor interest knows
thtre is to be a great struggle and is
preparing to meet it. People both in
this country and in Great Britain are
beginning to see the enoimity of this
business are beginning to realize that
Christian civilization is actually pois
oned at its fountain, and that there
can be no purification of it until the
source of t he poison is dried up.
"There can be no concession and no
compromise on the part of temperance
men, and no quarter to the foe. The
great curse of our country and our
race must be destroyed.
" Meantime, the tramp, tramp, tramp
sounds on the tramp of sixty thous
and yearly victims. Some are besotted
and stupid, some are wild with hilar
ity and dance along the dusty way.
some reel along in pitiful weaknes",
some wreak their mud and muidetots
impulses or, one aimt her, or on help
less women and children, whose desti
nies are united to thfirs, soma stop in
wayside debaucheries and infamies for
a moment, some go bound in chains
from which they seek in vain to wrench
their bleeding wrists, and and all are
poisoneil in Uoav ami soul, ami all are
doomed to death. Wherever thoy
move, crime, poverty, shame, wretch
edness and despair hover in awful
shadows. There is no bright side to
the picture. We forget: ther is just
one. The men who make this army
get rich. Their children are robed in
purple and fine linen, and live upon
dainties. Some of them are regarded
as respectable members of societv, and
they hold conventions to protect their
interests. Still the tramp, tramp
tramp goes on. and before this article
can see the light, five thousand more of

Harvest is in full blast, although
there has been a large amount of small
grain harvested, there remains a good
portion to harvest yet.
The chinch bug has almost entirely
ruined a few fields of grain; notwith
standing there will be a fair crop in this
locality. "Doty" wheat is all cut and
out of the way pretty much. The grass
wheat is so late ripening that it is
likely to be injured to a considerable
extent by the bugs. They are begii
ing work on the edges unless dry weath
er sets in in a short tima.
Corn looks excellent and is silking,
if nothing happens to it the crop will
be very large, about one more good
rain will be all earlv corn needs.
Some think that we are going to
have dry weather soon, as it hasn't
rained for a week, or more. Although
the clonds indicate that we will have
