J. P. SQCIKE. .LAIRD FOR CONGRESS. o A TKLBGRAM from Hastings an nounces the nomination of Hon. Janies'Lainl by acclamation for Con gress for the Second District. The convention was held at Hastings , yes- terJay. This nomination will he re ceived ' in this part of the state with great favor. Tliu state convention meets at Lin coln next Wednesday 'evening. THE TRIBUNE ventures the prophecy that Hon.'Gr. L. Laws will receive the nomination for Secretary of State on the second or third ballot. CIIUKCII HOWE , whatever may be his other capabilities or characteristics , is a scientific politician of the most ap proved pattern. In him the great anti , Van Wyck , will find one worthy of his steel. THE democrats of Nebraska have no hope of success save through the dis- aifection they ma } ' occasion in the re publican ranks. Hence the avidity with which the7 follow their adopted policy of the buxzard and the coyote. THE October Century will contain the opening chapters of "The Author ized Life of Lincoln , ' ' ( by his'confiden tial Secretaries , John George Nicolay and Col. John Hay , ) which will be THE feature of the Century for 1S86-7. THE Philadelphia Record , Demo cratic , which has a daily circulation of HSjOOO , says that "lowering their flag to the saloons , the Democratic State convention repelled the support of the friendffof rational legislation without .attracting strength from any quarter , " THE result of the Lancaster county republican convention , Monday , was a glorious victory for Hon. G. L. Laws , the Roggen element being completely left out'in the cold. WE arc under obligations to Presi dent John Fitzgerald , of the Irish Land League , for a bound addition of "Tbe Irish Questionby the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone , M. P. for Midlothian. SENATOR DOLAX was defeated at the McCook convention ; but he is too much of a man to allow a thing of that kind to waste any flesh. He-has made a good senator and with'his oxp'erience , would have been of great use to this district the next term. It was for this reason we hoped for his return. How ever , Mr. Lindsay promises well'and we nut } ' hope he may fill Mr. Dolan's place with even more ability than did that gentleman. Stockville Faber. A.MO.M : Bishop's articles in this week's issue of the Courier we find quite a mixture of the sublime ( ? ) and ridiculous , the profane and vulgar , for a prayerful Christian journalist. Know ing Bishop's inability to "blush for phanii' , " our devil has kindly consented to do .so for him. at our mostearnest solicitation. For instance what a her culean literary effort must have given birth to this : [ ! 0h , Gosh ! Al , that makes us tired. ' ' And this medley of profanity and intolerable grammar : "The call is issued by farmers , to fprm- crs. andvo'd like to know what in h 1 the Democrat has got to do or say about it. " Our readers will please ex cuse us in the reproduction , even , of such miserable balderdash. THE contest for the republican nom-1 ination for congress from this district is getting very extiting , as nearly , all the counties have selected their dele gates. In point of numbers Church Howe is ahead , having the Gage , Ne- uiaha , Pawnee. Johnson and part of Saunders county delegations. Douglas county'is for Council , with prospects for fully half the number going to Howe after complimentary balloting is through with. Lancaster county is for Field , with Howe second choice. Caps county is for Teft , and the preferences of Otoe , Richardson and Sarpy coun ties are yet. undetermined. To a man up a tree , it looks as though Church Howe will be nominated on the second or third ballot. Herald. THE power of a single corporation is to be feared in a free government. The East India company ruled a territory and a population more extensive than the mother country for decades , and wielded almost an absolute power. The Hanseatic league , which was our mod ern pool , controlled the commerce of nations. The assertion of combined commercial power is not new under the sun. Other nations have felt it and other people have paid it tribute. The enormity of its pretensions here iias been paralleled and often surpass ed. Experience has taught its danger , and its all comprehensive power may je learned from history as well is commercial and political science. But it seems as if every generation , or at least every century , must learn : br itself the lesson. America is at school now and obediently following the commands of its score of teachers. The southwestern pool is our school and the northwestern that of our north ern neighbors. The others are located 'urther east , and all teach the same essons : first , obedienco to their rules , und second , absolute acquiescence in their exactions. If the schools are to continue it will not be ' man } years un- il the much vaunted sovereignty of state and national governments may cease to exist and the right of supreme control be conceded to the pools. The lower to tax is said to be the root from which springs all authorityThe con- rol of the stomach implies the control of the man. The king of meat and ) 'read is the ruler of the country. Over hese things have the pools asserted exclusive authority and over them they vill preside unless overthrown by the jeople. It is no use to mince matters , .tis folly to temporize. It is madness o defer the contest. The tyranny which Patrick Henry denounced , the ight to tax which tbe parliament laimed , the exercise of authority which the British army was sent to en- 'orce , we're blessings compared with he exactions of the commercial combi nations which have assumed control of he transportation interests of the Uni- ed States. Practically what do our andidates for congress have to say bout the pools ? The people , irre- pective of party , would like to know. Kansas City Times , IT seems that there is no limit to the depth of human depravit } ' . One of the most fiendish cases of man's inhumanity to the weaker sex comes from White ( Cloud , Kansas. One day last week a party of hunters discovered , in a dilap idated cave or dug-out , a few miles from that place , a young woman , perhaps seventeen or eighteen years of age , handcuffed and chained 10 a log which formed a part of her prison. Near by was a pail of water and scattered about were some scraps of stale bread , upon which she was supposed to subsist. 1 Icr story was a pitiful one. She had been enticed from her home in Iowa and be trayed. 1 he young mail who had led her astray by false promises , induced her to accompany him to Kansas. * Af ter starting they were joined by three other young men. The party proceeded as far as White Cloud. In a lonely wood near this place she was imprisoned as described above. She remained there five weeks before being discovered by the hunters and during'those five weeks she was daily made the object of the vile assaults of the four beastin human guise who had made her their unwilling prisoner. No more horrible tale of suffering and cruelty has reached the public for a long time and it would be difficult to conceive of a punishment sufficiently severe for the four fiends in human shape. One can only re-echo the sentiments of the "Mikado"who suggested "something lingering , with melted lead or boiling oil in it. " Hx. THE Times states for the benefit of the McCook Gazette that its advocacy of Thos. Golfer for representative is due to the fact that he is a man of honor and integrity , and neither a fraud on humanity nor a law-breaker , who pecks to be a law-maker , that he need not have recourse to the base method of pugilistic eggression to sustain prin ciple and character. It looks as if the Gazette feared being knocked out in the first round if he states the truth concerning his minion pillowed candi date.
