' Tiik doinooratic party is in immi
nent danger of killing the goosu that
laid tho golden eg. Last f-ilt they
had to them a famous victory. The
goose laid right in their camp and
thero was much rejoicing thereat; not
alone for the temporal ble.ssiiig.s that
came with the egg but for the-prospect
of owning that goose and the good it
would do them in future, in 18s4, was
most exhiliratin. Since the days of
that famous victory democracy has
fallen far short of hoMijig jts own and
they aro fast murdering the effects of
tbfir appaient good fortune. The
1'endletoa civil service bill was right
in line with their professions, but
when it came to the practice they re
pudiated it to a man. It was good
talk but poor take. The democratic
party, too, was going to be a most in
dustrious paity, but it has held back
from every important measure since
the opening of congress. Now tho
tairilT question has conn up to vex
their souls and Sam Uandall fights for
the highest kind of protection. The
free trade democrats insist on absolute
free trade, and Sunset Cox prods mem
bers of both beliefs with a sharp stick.
In the midst of this babel with the
confusion, the uproar and dissections
growing daily greater, It will indeed
be surprising if the goose that laid the
golden egg last fall, escapes with its
life.
The Final Tote for Senator.
Yesterday at 12 o'clock, the stale
legislature met to ballot tor senator

as follows:

After which the senate adjourned to
February 6th and the house at the

I. v these days of booms it may be
admissable for even the churches to
kindly fall in with the customs of the
world's people. A short time ago we
noticed that at a preachers' meeting in
New York, at which Chaplain McCabe
sang a song, the refrain of which says
'We are building two a day," which
created a gieat deal of enthusiasm. In
old times a'good old fashioned spiritual
hymn would have produced the same
effect. Now a profane song, or rath
er a song based on worldly affairs will
produce the same effect.

JOURNALISM.
Particularly the Political ami Person
al. An oration delivered before the Ne
braska Press Association at its annual
meeting, January 2tUh, by M. ..
Brown, of the Beatrice Express.
"I come to bury Caesar, not to praiss
him." When Mark Antony dropped
these wordy adroitly into the inilam
maltle Itoman populace, the effect had
heen carefully studied. The burial of
Cii'sar, as the loss of a friend, mattered
little to him. lie was possessed of
the ambition to succeed the dead dic
tator, and his praise was not to glori
fy the memory of the Kouiau hero, but
to magnify his own popularity, for
the opportunity presented.
Jl'STICE TO JOt;ilNAMSM.
Your orator comes not as Antony
went to the funeral of Cicsar. He
conn not hero to bury our profession
a greater than was ever t'a'Har nor
to piaise where piaiso i.i undeserved;
nor yet to gain a point by sprinkling
the waters of flattery upon the little
rootlets of our vanities. Indeed, it is
not quite clear why ho should be here
at all, to talk to you of journalism, or
any other lofty theme, when he should
b instead a hearer, a listener at the
feet of seniors. Especially does your
orator feel how trying is his position
when recalling the able, the polished,
the scholarly oration last delivered he
fore this association by tho distin
guished brother and journalist the
I km. Charles H. Gere. But what will
be here lacking iu elegance of dicta
tion, may perhaps be made up by di
reelnci-s of expression, and an earnest
ness born of a love of a profession as
yet in the toddling days of infancy,
with a future as broad as the universe,
and as boundless as the heavens.

great journalists has covered every

of theae represented the old school
the other the new. Benjamin Frank

was born, and his death within the
few montlis pa t is fiish in the public
mind. It is in the nat ure of a coinci

lives covered a period embracing the
history of American journalism, was
allotted more than the maximum of

THE OKOWTH OF JOUltXALlSJl.
During the lives of Franklin, Weed
and Greely, journalism has grown to

the record to show its growth and im

In 1830 there were in the United

census bureau, about ten thousand
newspapers, and late estimates placi

And as the newspaper has grown nu

You and each of you who have en
dured tho hardships attendant upon
establishing a newspaper, know to.i
well how trilling is the recompense
of capital invested, for sweat of brow,
aim wear of brain, and waste of phys
ical energy. Ye who have tolled to
8?rvo the public, to promote the wel
fare of parties am politicians, to guaid
the interests of coimuunitus, and to
protect tl.e r'ghta of citizens, can have
but one feeling deep down in your
heart of hearts that the laborer has
not been deemed worthy of his hire.
Why this is true, lew there are who
can explain, if indeed they can even
divine It is enough to know that it
is true, und "pity 'tis 'lis true."
The greater faults are born of self
inlerest, the lesser from men's necessi
ties,. The first man - sinned, and he
was nol a journalist, either. His first
oveitact was prompted neither by
necessity or hope of gain. His was
perhaps a pvoptiiir-sa t- do the thing
which was wrong. He had no two
percent notes or cut-throat mortgages
falling due ; no office rent, insurance
policies or taxes to meet; mrcoal bills,
no grocery bills, no mother-in-law to
harass him, no poor relatives to pro
vide for. The only reason he didn't
behave ii,vi3i lf wr.s iimply he didn't.
Hut the annoyances unJ temptations
of tho average newspaper man are ail
that Mr. Adam's were not. No person
understands this better than the poli
tician. Journalism is inseparable
from polities. And it is at this point
that the politician steps in, an.l the
newspaper luse3 its impersonal char
acter and becomes a faction machine
or a personal sheet. Years have pass
ed, am) the publisher's ship has not
eoine in. liut the politician comes,
'Jjand satan comes alo. He has been to
the sanctum Deiore, pernaps, only to
meet with a repulse. Again the tempt
er whispers, and finds a listener. "Fall
down and worship me, says this satan
"and all these thing which t show
thee shall be thine. PostotHces, postal
clerkships, collector ships, deputy mar
shalslnps. all, all are thine.
This is the beginning of
POLITICAL JOURNALISM.
It is not necessary that the newspa
per M.uld be non political- As eYery-
ma i should bo a politician, in the
broadest sense, so should every secular
newspaper discuss political methods.
measures and principles. The news
paper should be political with but one
inspiration to guide Us course the
public good. Left to himself the jour
nalists intentions are goc d, h's judg
ment certainly not always bad. Yet
no one knows so well how a newspa
per &hou,e he conducted as ho whq
knows nothing about it, but has :,n ax
to grind. Men of this class frequently
drift into the proft'sgion. and almost
invariably the newspaper and the pub
lie are the suttereis. Chief among
these are the lawyers. And this serves
as a reminder that the last address de
livered before the association contain
ed a reply to some strictures upon the
press by a distinguished jurist pf the
stae. i ue reply citeu tne responsio-i
ity of the bar for the creation of "the
giant of corporatime monopoly" which
towers above and overshadows eyt rv
other interest in thi3 count rv : more to
be feared than an army with banners
a Goliath whos locks are moist, wit!
sweat not its own. but wrung from th
liller in the field, the mechanic at tl
bench, the merchant at his counter,
and shall it be sajd - the uditvir at his
desk, is there r Liayid among us
Let the lawyer make reply.
In that address, the leujiei.cc- io the
bar might have been extended to an
indefinite length. Who is th- politic
ian? Who lays the pipes and pulls 1 he
wires? Who rills our leg slatures and
congresses? Who packs the lobbies
of both of these in the interest of eor
.-.orations.' una tampers wuh wit
i e-sea and jurymen ? And to bring
he matter directly home, who first
holds out the bribe to the journal iM ?
-Must ycu know It is the lawyer pol
nicia'i. it we nave siimeu, he it is
who first taqs'it us how to sin. N
that tlie bar lacks honor nnd dignity
nor that the law is not the keystone of
all government. The lawyer in poli
tics is not tne law, although he may
have brought shame and sorrow upon
the head of that venerable sire
To the politician, whether lawyer or
what not, the journalist siiaui ever

of the newspaper lies in the. discussion
of principles, not persons; of measure
not men. The tendency to quiet the
reverse; and if the newspaper posses
cs less of influence now than in that
generation when its word was sup-
pi sed to contain "all the law and the
m spel." then it may not be necessary
to seek furthtr for a cause.
- Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac be
aat Esau, and Esau sold his -birthright
for a mess ot pottage. As Aoraiian
begat Isaac, so has the first phase here
named begotten the second political
journalism; and to sum it up, our juor-
nalistic Lsau has sold his birthplace to
the politician for a very intangible
mess of something without a name.
The politician "takes the pot," and it
is doubtful whether our Esau has even
so much as a mess of pottage. Esau
begat several sons; but the political in
journalism ha3 begotten only one, and
its features are so repulsive mat care
should be taken to prevent a further
increase in the family.

PERSONAL JOCRXAI.ISM.
The old books 'tell ot a certain

casion duriug the philosophers ab
sence a servant of the household
douned ids ma.tcr's habiliments, oc
cupied the master's study, and perpe
trated a fool's folly by mssquerading
for the time as the philosopher. The

The moral to bo pointed to adorn

In every mau's life there is a do
main where newspapers should read
this legend "No AtlmitJauce." This
domain in his private life, and should
lie far beyond the prying eyes ot
newspaper libelers and private slan
derers. The foibles and lollies of
tlie private citi.en are u t legitimate
food for newspapers to diet upon, and
it is iu ihi liat journalism ahould be
held to the strictest accountability It
not by judge and jury, then certainly
before tl-e bar of public opinion.

grown up this great enormity, this
unsightly cancer whose poison is ca

are many honorable and virtuous ex

computation, is this child of Esau,
this protligatc otl'sprimr of political
journalism, this graveyard reveler
among dead men's bones, that has
stolen into the sanctum to besmear
the bright escutcheon of journalism.
What is its license? It has none.
From what principle of right does it
derive tho privilege to pollute the
temple of our profe.'.sion? It has no
right. What public interest demands
that our best public; men should be
painted as tlie v ;riiest scalawags?
There can be but one answer none
Public ni'-n should be judged by
their records; but tlie "political in
journalism has found it convenient to
descend to the lowest personal plane
to magnify faults into crimes, and
weaknesses into immoralities any
thing to prevent the fulfillment of a
political ambition. As candidates
for edliee, politicians are open to crit
icism. It a public man has failed in
f any ijuty, the newspaper should say
as much, openly aud without dissim
ulation. If a candidate's political
record is bad, let the fact be known
the moment he aspires to office. If
he has committed any act of a public
nature that is manifestly against pub
lic policy, it is the province ot
newspaper to deal vsith him as he de
serves, with a candor that will at
tract attention and a dignity that
will conimaud confidence- But the
