The Pathetio Old Man.
Pity the sorrows of a poor old man
Whose trembling- limbs have borno him t
your door.
Whose mill of life grinds out tho coarsest
bran!
Whose bark of life lies stranded on the
shore;
Whose path of lifo winds through a desert
waste.
Whose cup of life is hitter to the taste,
He has no fireside where a cheerful lijriit
Shines on the faces of h:s children dear.
He has no children where his fireside bright
Fills nil his cttuttre with its gentle cheer;
He has uo cottage where he lives alone.
He begs you for a rest within your own.
He has no lamp to wnd a gladsome beam
Out from his window, as he nenrs his home!
He has no window whence tho light may
stream.
When he returns resolved no more to
roam :
No nodding harvest fills his fertile field;
He has no meadow any grain to yield."
The housewife listened to the woe confessed.
And bade him for aw hile forget to grieve;
He took her kind advice, and took his rest.
And took her gifts, and humbly took his
leave.
The housewife sitting in her easy cha:r,
Thought on the man with so much pain to
bear;
Thought on his manner artless, mild and
rare;
Thought on the rich, with warmth and food to
spare:
Thought on the g.xxl they might, but would
not share;
Thought on the toil-worn frame, and silver
hair;
Thought on her 6ilvcr spoons, with anxious
care;
And thought ti go, and gaze a moment where
fcho left thcin lust but could not find them
there.
Announcement of the Kepublican Na
tional Committee Concerning' the
Method of Call in- the next Kenubli
van National Convention.
A circular was issued by the Re
publican National Co in in it tee, on Oc
tober 8, 1880, calling attention to tho
above subject.
By Rule 10 of the Convention of
June, 1880, it was provided that the
Republican National Committee
"shall, within the next twelve months,
prescribe methods or rules for the se
lection of delegates to the National
Convention in conformity therewith,
provided that such methods or rules
shall include and secure to the several
Congressional Districts in the United
States the right to elect their own
delegates to the National Convention."
Preliminary to carrying into effect
the foregoing rule, the National com
mittee, on July 1, 1880, adopted the
following:
Resolved, That in order to aid this
committee in carrying oat the instruc
tions of the National Convention, to
prescribe and announce within one
year the methods or rules for electing
delegates to the next National Con
vention, request is hereby madtj for
the transmission to the committee of
plans and suggestions on the subject
from any person prior to October 15,
1880.
At a subsequent meeting the time
for such transmission was extended
to February 1, 1881; and it was also
voted that a full meeting of the com
mittee should be called, to consider
the subject, some time, in March, 1881.
Request was also made of the Re
publicans to whom the circular was
sent, and of all others, to forward any
plans or suggestions they might de
sire to make to the otticers of the
committee before February 1, 1881.
The following plans had been pre
viously submitted tit the meeting of
July 1. 1880:
PLAN OF 3111. WILLIAM E. CIIANDLFIt
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The Republican National Conven
tion of 1884 shall consist of four dele-gates-at-large
from each state and two
deleeates from each Congressional
District, each to be chosen at
popular conventions in such manner
as the Republicans of each state may
determine, provided the delegates
from each Congressional D. strict shall
be the choice of the Republicans of
that district. The conventions within
the states for the election of delegates
to the National Convention shall be
held at least one month before the
time for the meeting of the National
Convent:on. Notices of contests may
be given the National Committee,
accompanied by full printed state
ments of the grounds of contest, which
shall also be made public; and prefer
ence in the order of hearing and de
termining contests shall be given by
the convention according to the dates
of the reception of such notices aud
statements by the National Com
mittee. PLAN OF MR. JOHN A. MARTIN OF
KANSAS.
That the Republican National Con
vention for 1884 shall be composed as
follows: First, each state shall be en
titled to four delegates-at-large. Sec
ond, each Congressional District shall
be entitled to one delegate. Third, in
addition to delegates-at-large, each
state shall be entitled to representa
tion in proportion to its Republican
vote, that is. one delegate for every
12,000 Republican vote? polled for
President in 1880, or fraction of over
one half that number.
The meeting of the National Com
mittee having been called for Wash

them, should direct the manner of
choosing its delegates.

were invited to participate in the dis
cussion of this subject by the commit
tee, and there was protracted debate
cn the t o questions, first, of district
representation, and second, of repre
sentation based upon Republican votes.

was offered, and was unanimously
adopted :

NUMBER 12.
rre Can (Do.
Shall tho Women Vote.
Schuyler Sun.
It will be two years or more before
the electors of Nebraska will be called
upon to decide by their ballots tho
question of women suffrage as regards
this state. In that time the question
will be given a healthy agitation and
the contest decided in accordance with
the cool and sober judgment of the
people, The Sun advocates the consti
tutional amendment this far: Give the
women of Nebraska the ballot if they
want it. The mere matter of sex is
ground to3 narrow to stand upon and
question their right. But don't give
them the ballot until thoioughly con
vinced that t hey dont want it. Don't
be guided in making your decision by
the clamorings of a lot of short-haired
women and long-haired men who
climb on to every new issue for the
Siiko of a little transient notoriety.
They do not, to any great degree index
the sentiment of the great majority of
women for whom this inestimable
political blessing is claimed. The
women of this country are, as a class,
intelligent and well informed. They
are decidedly good judges of their own
wants and to the extent of our exper
ience they never lack emphasis in pro
claiming them and demanding their
fullOlmeut. By the conditions of sex
which a wise Creator has imposed, the
burdens of a family are divided in ac
cordance wilh what the eternal fitness
of things would seem to suggest. The
man is the bread winner and the busi
ness manager the maternal and house
hold duties rest upon the women. The
world has jogged along on this plan
for quite a number of years and the
women, instead of degenerating, have
grown more beautiful and accomp
lished with every generation. It is
barely possible that the time has
come when the programme should be
changed, but let us first be sure of it.
Every mau who caies to know can
ascertain. Ask your wife, sister,
mother or lady acquaintance. Learn
if they are greatly disturbed or dis
tressed by reason of political disfran
chisement, and you will arrive at the
very heart of the question. This is
not a question of sentiment, bat one
of prudence and public policy. We
have great and abiding faith in the
judgment of woman. If the intelli
gent and loving mothers and sisters
of this Nation or state asked the right
of suffrage, we should feel that there
is some grand motive that inspired the
request. We should entertain the
same faith in her ability to treat the
trust intelligently and wisely that
abides in every mau who trusts
to woman his fortune or happiness.
And it is these women who should de
cide the question, and who doubts
they would decide it wisely V If they
feel that their homes would be any
happier or the world any better by
reason of their voting, then in the
name of all lhat is good let them vote.
Afton Notes.
Dear Herald The outlook hei.
is much more favorable than it w.is
a few months ago; our starving
stack of then are now fat. Never
have we had sucli feed at this season
before. The predictions of good crops
seem to be verified, as all vegetation
looks well; we have already had more
"garden truck" than we had all last
season, even though a hare of the ap
propriation for seed failed to reach
us. Nothing has come to this oilice,
(probably the most important office in
the county) except two small pack
ages sent to myself by Senator Saun
ders, and some to two neighbors
through the influence of relatives in
Iowa: yet we have gardens.

"Best Acre of Corn."
The Editor of Rural Nebraska offers
a special premium to the Nebraska boy
under 21 years of age, who raises the
most corn on one acre of ground dur
ing 1881, the award to be made by the
State Board of Agriculture. The prize
is to be a thoroughbred l ull or heifer
calf, and is valued at 100. The ground
should be carefully measured, plowed,
manured, planted and thoroughly cul
tivated. The kind of seed use ', the
date of planting and gathering the
crop, and the method of cultivation
should be recorded. Names of the boy
farmers who are willir.r to make the
trial should be sent to W. C. B. Allen,

three very exciting races, sometimes
for two miles at a stretch, the dogs al

latter always fighting to freedom and
making their escape. Three half
grown wolves only were captured, and
were brought to town uninjured as

he saw smoke coming from the hole in
