"We know that all the Democrats
at the Committee's meeting the oth
er day arc earnestly in favor of
'home rule", ami w ould resent any,
the least, intcrlerence from ''foreign
parts", if lhih wore not tho case we
would humbly ask leave to inquire
why farmer delegates should bo re
quired to come to town twice to at
tend conventions, when ouce would
do. "We do not make the inquiry,
however, for fear that it would be
tantamount to a drclaratiou of war,
on the basis ol the Monroe doctrine.
Another tad instance of the
careless use of fire-arms occurred
last week, in Colfax county. Mr.
Jacobson had been riding in a buggy
with Mr. Folda, iu which ho had
placed his double-barreled shot-gun,
and when he got out of the buggy,
he reached under the scat and com
menced drawing out his gun with
the muzzle pointing directly towards
his bod-, wheu the hammers caught
under the seat, discharging both bar
rels, the contents of which entered
the right breast and shoulder of Mr.
Jacobson, killing him instantly.
It is claimed that since Reynolds
the convicted Morman polygamist
was removed from the Xeb., peni
tentiary to Utah imprisoment, he
has been given practical liberty. lie
goes out ol the Utah penitentiary
when he pleases, is treated to rides
about the town, and is permitted to
visit his family wheu he pleases. It
is stated that thee facts coming in an
official form to President Hays that
he has given orders that Reynolds
he taken back at once to the Nebras
ka penitentiary andjt here treated a3
a common prisoner to the end of his
term.
The Democrat complains of our
method of debating political subjects
and says we don't come down lo
facts and business. "Well, that's a
matter of opinion. "We thought we
had been keeping as close to facts
and business in the little discussion
as the Democrat. "We were trying
to get at the difference between
State rights and secession, and who
were the advocates and true follow
ers of the latter most dangerous
doctrine, while the Democrat was
claiming and trying to prove that
the Republican party was the pure,
unadulterated secession party. The
public will judge who beats around
the bush the most, when we ask the
Democrat to tell us what party mcu
held seats in the memorable South
Carolina Convention? And further
it its editor has taken notes in his
twenty-eight years of experience in
political life what Democratic Mr.
Parker and others said iu that con
vention. Mr. Parker said, 'Seces-
J sion is no spasmodic effort that has
come suddenly upon us. It has been
gradually culminating for a long
series of years." Mr. Angles said,
"Most of us have had this subject
under consideration for the last
twenty years." Mr. Keitt said, ,I
have been engaged in tin movement
ever ince 1 entered political life."
The Democrat won't deny that these
men were all Democrats, and sound
in the faith. "We hope that the
Democrat will in the future stick
closely to the issue, and not trespass
so much on Abolition ground, but
take right hold of the Democratic
sentiment upon the subject of seces
sion, and let us have it iu its simple
purity from the editor's stand-point
of twenty-eight years political ex
perience. .Scualor ConltHuj;-.
There is no defence for the Seua
ator's conduct, and there is none
attempted. Conkling has always
been held in high regard for his
intellectual force and great ability
in political matters, but no friend of
his has undertaken to clear the rec
ord of his social life from the clouds
that have long hung over it. Xar
raganset Pier has probably seen the
great X. Y. Senator in the last scene
of his political course. There is no
doubt but the sprightly Kate
Sprague and the renowned Senator
were mutually infatuated with each
other, if we remember only the
Washington gossip of later years.
That this infatuation has led both of
them to step beyond the proprieties
and do violence to their marriage
vows may remain a question with
out definite answer, but that ex
Senator Sprague has had enough of
the mutual infatuation visible to him
to produce jealousy, there can be no
doubt. If Sprague had shot Conk
link the other day, it would not have
surprised a good many people who
have known more or less the rela
tions sustained by the parties, ex
cept as to the sudden outburst of
virtuous wrath on the part of Mr.
Sprague. Perhaps if this shot-gun
argument had been used long ago,
in .1 quiet way, the newspapers and
the public ear would not now be
burdened with the salacious history
of the two imprudent and perhaps
wicked parties, most talked about
in this transaction.
The poiygamistMonnans are just
at this time greatly excited over
several recent occurrence?. Among
them may be named the conviction
aud imprisonment of Reynolds for
polygamy, tfie murder of Standing,
the Mormon preacher, ju 'J'M-gia,
the imprispunrcnt' ol Geore Q.
Ciiiinou, delegate to Congress, aud
other executors of Brigham Young's
estate for contempt; and the
threatened circular of our goverment
to prohibit lorcigu govenuents
from lauding iu this country
polygamist Mormon converts all
tend to increase their excitment aud
engender a bitter hearted against the
American geuiiles, which hat. re
cently manifested itself through their
publications in threatening articles
aud inflammatory speeches.

Mr. Editor : As you are doubt
less well aware, the people of this
county have a railroad proposition
submitted to them by the Omaha,
Niobrara & Black Hills R. R. Co.,
upon which .they arc to vote on the
27th of this month. For years our
people have been hauling their grain
from 30 to 60 miles to get to market,
through the rains of fall and the
storms of wiutcr, aud over roads too
often muddy and slippery. The
prayers that have constantly gone
up from the hearts of our farmers
have been for a railroad. Some have
waited anxiously for the Elkhorn
Valley, some for the B. & M., aud
some for the U. P.', aud more recent
ly some for the A. & N., whichever
in fact seemed best to please locali
ties and individuals, has been most
desired by them, but the oft-repeated
sentiment of all classes of people
and all localities has been that they
would favor auy proposition from
any road that would give them a
home market. Xow, at last we have
a chance and a most favorable ono to
yet a road. The O. N. & B. H. R. R.
proposes to build to St. Edwards
and Albion for the sum of $33,000
in bonds payable in twenty years
with eight per cent, interest that is
not over $1,000 per mile for what the
Co. avill have to build in order to
get here. This is the smallest sub
sidy ever asked of any county in
Nebraska for the same amount of
road. Just think of it, the counties
in the State that have railroads have
given $100,000 and upwards. The
A. & X. road asked not less than
that amount from auy county to
which it submitted propositions and
your county gave them that amount
for four or five miles of road, be
cause it gave you a southern outlet,
and a competing line.
Xow, I know there are men in
Columbus who have had the trade
from this county, and have grown
rich by reason of it, who would like
to see our proposition defeated, so
that wc would still have to go there
with our grain, and do our trading
with them this may be natural, but
it is not fair to us, they ought to be
willing that we should have a chance
to do our own shipping and to pat
ronize our own merchants.
Every load of grain hauled from
this county to the railroad, has taken
a man and team at least three days,
worth at least four dollars, we have
had to pay out for our hotel bills and
for our teams at least two dollars
more, thus making the actual cost to
us six dollars ou a load of grain, or
fifteen cents for every bushel of
grain raised by the sweat of our
brows.
The grain rate from Columbus to
Chicago, without any competition,
has been for a long time 38 cts. per
hundred, while from Council Bluffs
and even from points a hundred
miles east of there in Iowa it has
been 30 cents.
It hasouly cost those who shipped
from Columbus eight cents per hun
dred more to ship to Chicago than
it has the farmers of western Iowa
or not quite five cents per bushel.
It has cost us 38cent8 per hundred
from Columbus to Chicago, or 23
cents per bushel, and not less than
half that sum to haul it from our
farms to Columbus.
There are some who think we will
have to pay much more from Albion
to Chicago than from Columbus, but
experience proves this is not the
case. The grain rate on the U. P. i3
the same for all points along the line
for forty or fifty miles. Ou the O.
& R. Y.'road, a branch of the U. P.,
the grain rate is the same from
"Wahoo and Valparaiso to Chicago,
nineteen and thirty-eight miles west
of Valley, where tho road branches,
as from Valley, and our rate could
not be more than one or two cents
per hundred higher than yours at
Columbus, certainly uot a cent per
bushel. Another thing which is very
important to us, when wc take
wheat to Columbus or Silver Creek
we cannot store it or take it back
the market which a day or two be
fore was up, may be down ; no mat
ter, wc arc obliged to sell for just
what we can get. while if wc had a
road here, we could take advantage
of,t'ie market to get the highest
prices for grain.
It by getting another railroad at
Columbus you get competing rates
wc will get just as much advantage
from it as you do, without any of
the expense. We are to have four
teen miles of railroad in our county
and at a very moderate valuation of
five thousand dollars per mile, that
will give us $70,000 of property to
tax our tax on that amount for all
purposes including school tax could
not be less than five per cent, or
$3,500 per year our tax for railroad
bonds per year will only bo $2,640
or $860.00 less than we get from the
railroad. So the people of this
county will get $860.00 per year
more than they pay out. Besides,
the road will not stop at Albion.
. Before another vear, propositions
l will be submitted iu the counties
north or west of us and the road
will be built through the county,
giving us twice as much property to
tax, and securing U3 a clear profit in
taxes of between two and three
thousand dollars per year. "We
know, loo, that the south Platte
country has filled up three times as
fast as our own, because they have
had railroads, and if we get one in a
year, our population will nearly
double.
Another thing too, the company
will have to pay out at least $40,000
for grading the road In our county;
this our people who want to work
will get, and it will remain amoug
us and make us prosperous. The
company has let tho grading in Mad
ison to Madison county men and
they are offering $3 per day for
all who want to work with teams.
The people on the Cedar, in the
western part of our county,
have some of them been opposed
to the bonds, because the road
did not run into their part of
tho county, but the B. & M. which
will be built to Central City, when
extended, will have to go up their
valley, and if they help us now, we
will help them then, while if they
work to defeat this proposition they
can expect no support from us when
they set one. Take it all in all we
think Boone county has a good prop
osition, and will carry it, and will
soon he ranked as one of the most
prosperous and populous in the
State. This, letter is already too
long and I close.

Dear Journal : The work now
begins to show round here and
stacks of grain are more numerous
than were at one time expected.
Haying is in rapid progress, and.
threshing is also in order. Am sor
ry to say our "Wilson friends hare
none to thresh.
Very heavy rains this week, some
damage done. Geo. Lawrence lost
a stack of oats by lightniug; Mr.
Hanson a cow ; Mr. L. Burns, a stack
of wheat out of a setting (remaining
threo stacks uninjured); Mr. Thein
hardt had his house struck, running
down the lightning rod and doing
no damage, he feeling the shock
only; Mr. H. Kluck had his chim
ney knocked all to pieces, aud the
stove pipes running into it scattered
all over the room, doing no damage
to the family. Mr. K. insured somo
time since with Gus. Becber and
that gentleman, with his usual
promptitude, came out and saw the
injury doue aud put things in shape.
While in town this week I went
out to Judge HiggiiiB's place, and
was most hospitably entertained by
him and his estimable lady. I must
say I was delighted with the charm
ing place the Judge has and he can
truly say he enjoys the fruits of his
labor. I saw more that day than
ever before iu Xebraska in the way
of a well-kept and productive gar
den, and no one seeing the place
but will admit that fruit can be
grown successfully iu our State.
The truth is, few are like the Judge
in giving caro to their trees when
they have them, and I would advise
all to read the very practical essay
on tree-culture which appeared some
time since from his pen, the worth of
which he has so thoroughly proved.
I learned some valuable lessous that
day which will not soon be forgot
ten, aud feel grateful to the worthy
and genial hearted man who so
kindly explaiued everything.
Rumor says that P. T. Hughes has
smelt our coming depot from afar
off, and is hastening this way as fast
an a wagon can bring him, to settle
down again iu our midst, and a
Schuyler merchant also intends try
ing our village. Our place is bound
to grow some, and Columbus is too
solidly established to be injured by
that or any such thing, and can well
afford to wish ns all success. Fur
