ANNOUNCEMENT.
In accordance with the wishes of my friends
as well us of the leading business men of Me
Cook , and also 11111113of the delegates who op
posed me in the Republican Convention , and
who have since reconsidered the matter , I do
hereby announce myself as an Independent
candidate for the ollic ; of Commissioner , in
and for the Second Commissioner District in
Bed Willow county. J. P.
TIIK people of this district need have
no solicitation as to our next State Sen
ator , J. P. Lindsay , Esq. , of Beaver
City. He will represent us with digni
ty and ability.
THE Democrats of Laird's district are
making their fight squarely on the
Sparks proposition that all "Western
settlers are thieves. Mr. Laird holds a
radically opposite position. We have a
theory that the settlers who are concern
ed will sustain Mr. Laird.
A FEW democratic papers through
out the second congressional district
" ado about noth
are "making a great
ing" TV. A. McKeighan , the gentle
man whom : % 0ur .Teems" will snow un
der , as with a mighty avalanche , next
Tuesday. Their puny efforts resem
ble a veritable "tempest in a teapot. "
McKeighan will scarcely recognize the
fact of his candidacy , November 3d.
THE bucolic press seems to be as a
thorn in the side of the genius who pre
sides over the "Topics of the Times"
department of the State Journal. So
much so that his chief occupation seems
to be nowadays that delectable one of
styling the meek and lowly quill pro
pellers of rural journals "common
liars" and other select , but naughty
nick-names. However , the country
press are quite accustomed to such ten
der sentiments.
VAN WYCK is struggling vainly with
his record as he swings around the circle.
He says he was absent from the senate
when he is reported to have'dodged"
votes on almost every important ques
tion that has come up for the past five
or six years. Just so.Ve want a sena
tor who isn't generally absent on such
occasions. "Dodge" is the light word
in the right place in the histor } ' of the
old man's very crooked , lame and spav
ined record. In like manner he can
excuse the fact that he "dodged" ' all the
fighting when he was drawing double
pay as an officer in the army and a con
gressman. He was simply "absent"
when the battle was fought. .That was
all. The record unfortunately shows
that when some of those battles were
fought in which his regiment participa
ted under the command of "Lieut. Col.
Jourdan , " he was not only 'absent"
from the regiment , but was "absent"
from Congress. Where was he hiding
then ? Was heaway from congress in
order that his colleagues should believe
he was with the army , and away from
the army because he didn't want to be
hurt ? How was it that during the entire
four years of his preteiide.d service in
the army he wasn't with his regiment in
a single battle ? Is it not pretty plain
that the old man's "absences. " as he
calls them , were so near like "dodges"
that an expert couldn't tell'em apart ?
State Journal.
THE following monstrous fabrication
is taken from the Ben :
McCook , Neb. , Oct. 20. [ Special
Telegram to the Bee. ] Hon. George
H. Hastings , of Crete ; J. B. Cessna
and J. P. Lindsay , addressed the citi
zens of McCook last night on the polit
ical ippues of tho day. A large and
enthusiastic audience showed their ap
probation by frequent applause. As
election draws ncaithe question of
the choice for United States senator be
comes of more importance and every
indication is now that the citizens of
Bed Willow 2ounty will , by their votes ,
instruct the members from this county
to east his vote for the election of
Charles Van Wyck as United States
senator to succeed himself.
' 1 HE course Mr. Bishop of the Courier
has pursued in the present campaign
certainly entitles him to the name of
being "unique. " Ordinarily men who
have experienced his proportion of hu
miliation and disgrace have a delicacy ,
a timidity , soms scruples indeed , at as
sailing character , questioning motives ,
misrepresenting actions , etc. But not
he. Ordinary rules do not seem to apply
at all to him. Out of his bitterness , he
has learned no commendable lesson of
meekness ; none of the characteristics oi'
a sensitive , retiring spiiit appertain to
him. But rather the unblushing shame-
lessness of a strumpet who glories in
her degradation. Verily. Mr. Bishop is
unique , but not valuable , particularly ,
on that account.
THE democratic papers all over the
state are exerting themselves to make
prohibition THE issi/'K in the present
campaign. So be it. Humanity's cause
is always the caue of the Republican
party , and in this vital issue may it be
further recorded to her name's honor
and glory , that she was not found
wanting. All moral reforms , all move
ments having the amelioration and im
provement of the nation's multitudes in
view , have originated in and been car
ried to a successful termination by the
Republican party. In Iowa , Kansas ,
Maine , Ohio , and elsewhere , she has
interpreted the public cry for protection
against the encroachments of the liq
uor traffic. In Nebraska her duty is
plain , and we prophecy that her action
in the premises will not be uncertain.
-'swallow-taileddude' ' argument
( ? ) of the Democrat against J. P. Lind
say , Esq. , our next State Senator , in
dicates a miserable lack of courtesy
and a scarcely less prominent paucity
of ideas. We hope that the Democrat
is not entertaining the foolish idea that
its "school boy style of calling names' "
has any weight with the intelligent vo
ters of this senatorial district , or that
Mr. Lindsay's chances for election are
thereby materially imperilled or Mr.
Stilgeboucr's improved. The erroj is
a most egregious one , an insult to the
good sense of every honest voter , who
readily discerns the true man. be he ar
rayed iu broad-cloth or home-spun.
The icpublicans of the 30th senatorial
district will observe this fact , that the
opposition have so far been utterly un
able to circulate anything against Mr.
Lindsay the least compromising in
character. The Democrat's "nickname
policy" is a tacit acknowledgement of
weakness and want of proper political
thunder on the part of the opposition ,
while it speaks volumns in Mr. Lind
say's behalf.
A CURSORY glance over the political
field as found in this section of the state
discloses a most unfortunate and disrep
utable state of affairs regarding the
tactics and measures adopted by papers
and candidates. If the candidates are
what the } ' are pictured their nomina
tions are humiliating reflections upon
the intelligence and honesty of this
people. If , oil the other hand , this mis
erable bush-whacking , black-guarding
policy is not based on the strongest evi
dence , the men directing the polity of
the campaign and press are guilty of
poltroonery of the worst description , and
are open to the severest censure. While
it is a fact painfully evident , that there
is great room for improvement in the
matter of the selection of candidates ,
another fact is none the less notoriously
obvious , namely , that a reform in meas
ures of men and journals is imperatively
demanded. Particularly in the press ,
who should by an honest , candid , manly ,
dignified course elevate , to the best of
their power and ability , political tactics
out of the slime and putrescence of the
present , to a higher level , one more in
keeping with republicanism and true
American manhood. Here is a wide and
inviting field of possibilities.

VALUE OF A STILL TONGUE.
Men Who Talk Too Much Expose th *
Secrets of Their Business.
[ Fcientific American.1
An old , experienced "Wall street
banker remarked in course of conversa-
tion with a reporter on one of our ex-
' changes , a few days ago , that "a still
tongue was often a fortune " The idea
! he wished to convey was that men who
talked too much expose the secrets of
their business. A silent man is generally
the safest adviser ; he thinks before
he speaks , and weighs well his words.
Some men are as ready with their opin
ions as a hungry man for dinner ; all
that is required is tho opportunity to
air them. Others are so voluble they
tell all they know about their own busi
ness , and their neighbors' as well.
Generally , you can take the measure of
an inveterate talker , as it's wind and
| froth. On the other hand , the man
j who holds his tongue is not easily
j fathomed. "Still water runs deep , "
, with hut little noise and friction , while
! the shallows foam an fret with constant
j tumult.
! As a rule , the silent man is methodi-
j cal , painstaking , careful. He weighs
| his words and pounds accurately ,
j In business lie makes no fuss
j or parade ; ho transacts it , how
' over , witii diligence and prudence.
Drag and vanity are twins ; together
1 thep were born and together thewill
die.
j ( 'onceit and boasting are poor ele
ments in trade ; airs put on as scon as a
little money is made usually have a
Dhill. Boasting of big profits and a
' speedy fotune to every listener shows a
lack of good sense and sound judgment ,
ilen have been hung on their own testi
mony , and merchants have failed from
too much tongue.

( , n the 3d of January , 1820 , the man
sion was burned no one knows how
and on that occasion all the pines of
wine and casks oE Iqiuor in the cellar
were rolled through a passage to the
creek and saved. Pome of Joseph
Bonaparte's fine wines are said to be
still in existence in Philadelphia , t-'o
popular was the polite ex-king that on
that occasion tho ladies of Bordentown
turned out with little else than their hose
and with leather buckets tilled with
water mounted ladders and tried to put
out the fire. It was a great loss , for
the grand staircase , the statues , busts
and rare paintings.the heavy chandeliers
and hangings and tapestry fringed
with real gold and silver , were all
destroyed. A well-known Philadelphia
lady , who visited the house , has left a
record , in which she says-
After we had examined the books ,
the paintings on the walls and many
rich vases wTiich had belonged to Napo
leon , the count touched a secret spring
and several rows of skilfully-painted
book-cases < ! ew open and displayed a
set of drawers. These he opened and
drew out a number of caskets contain
ing splendid jewels of all descriptions.
> everal clusters were jeweled handles of
Lwords , other portions of crowns rudely
broken of : and more the lids of small
boxes. He showed us the crown and
: ings lie wore as king of Spain , also the
irown , robe and Jewels in which Napo
leon was crowned. After our eyes
were tired of the glare of diamonds and
emeralds he touched another spring and
opened another set of drawers , contain
ing some of Xapoleon's most valrable
papers and letters , tied by ribbons and
fastened by jeweled clasps.
'While we were wondering how to
make our exit he approached another
book-case ( the room was lined with
thcm > and the whole case Hew back ,
forming an entrance into his sleeping
apartment , which consisted of a cham
ber , dress and bathing room and a small
studio or boudoir. The curtains , canopy
and furniture were of light-blue satin ,
trimmed with silver. Over the bed was
a splendid mirror and there were several
others in the room. The walls were
covered with paintings , principally of
young females with less clothing than
seemed comfortable for this cold cli
mate. In every room of the house there
were statues of Napoleon in different
positions and various sizes. There were
Mso statues of all the members of his
family. ' '
The Clover Olil Plagiarist.
fWashington Star.
"We are now promised a literary sensa
tion in the shape of a book to show that
Milton stole the idea and to a consider
able extent the phraseology of his three
principle poems , Paradise Lost , Para
dise .Uegaiued and Samson Agonistcs ,
from Joost van Vondel , an eminent
Dutch i oet of his times. It is not un
likely that Milton , who was a universal
scholar , took freely whatever literature
had to offer in the way of materials.
Possibly he was as bare-faced a thief in
this tield as Shakespeare himself. The
old writers do not seem to have had as
nice a literary conscience as our authors
of to-day.
But one thing is certain : Those old fel
lows had a way of dressing up their
stolen property the secret of which has
apparently died with them. Lincoln
sighed for a few more generals who
could use whisky like Grant , and mod
ern literature would like another crop
of such plagiarists as Chaucer , Shakes
peare and ililton.
Tl-c Curious DJnndiora.
[ H-asIl fo" . New York Sun. ]
The common people of Brazil live on
jerked beef and inandioca. The former
conies from. Uruguay and Argentine ,
and : JO,000,000 tons are imported every
year. The mandioca is a curious plant ,
blending life and death in its elements.
It resembles the sweet potato or yam ,
and if used raw is a deadly poison.
Some years ago thirty-five drops of the
raw juice was administered to a con
demned criminal , and he died in the
most horrible convulsions. The root is
boiled and then ground to powder , re

ance , in which condition it enters into
the composition of almost every article
of cooked food used in Brazil. The
tapioca of commerce is made by boiling
the mandioca and then allowing it to
crystallize.
