This paper is pleased to note the ev
idence of prosperity in every town in
the county, and in noting these evi
deuces from lime to time tbe lively
town of Greenwood comes often to no
tice. This time Greenwood is moving
for a mill; a steam flouring mill to be
owned and operated by a joint stock
company, and to be built the coming
summer. It is needless to affirm the ad
vantages occurring to Greenwood and
the surrounding countiy for the peo
ple there understand them and aie
moving forward to secure them. The
Herald hopes and believes their ef
forts will be successful.
The capitol appropriation bill has
passed the house, and Irom its recep

it
looks as though it vould pass that

be well. The till ought to pass, the

pleted and the work which was worth
becinning finished. The limit of
lime placed for the completion of
the building as psssed in the house
bill is 1889. , The limit of cost $4oO,

and virtually drive free aud honest la
bor from conioelllioii. Look at it for a
moment; Mr. Stout, l he present leasee
of the convicts, is paid forty-five cents
apiece for working tVmvicts. There
is that much premiuLut upon them.
Honest, free labor cau work for just a
living, and the prison contractor can
underbid free labor forty-five cents to
Che tasn aud still make wages. This
StUe at preneut is making a distinc
tion of ninety cents in favor of con
vict labor against fret labor; and it is
about time the farce was ended. Tbe
Herald regrets that Mr. Neville was
not supported in his efforts, by tbe en
tire Cass county delegation. This
question of convict labor iu competi
tion with free labor is either right or
wrong. No man can be prepared to
say it is right, and therefore we main
tains that there is 110 public policy so
urgent or necessary that It will neu
tralize a wrong. It is necessary to
wora convicts, but let the stale work
tliein without putting them in the
hands of a man to array against free
labor. The convicts iu the peniten
tiary had better be employed inside of
the prison grouuds lu sinking - wells
and filling thetn again in constant rou
tine, rather than longer cherish this
vicious system in vogue in Nebraska
at present. The Herald would like
to see Senator Patterson follow Mr.
Neville's example, when the bill reach
es the senate, and we believe his con
stituents will endorse him in doing it.
Tbe question of why this state fur
nishes lodging for its convicts and
then furnishes their labor aud forty
five cents per day for their board and
care, will make a fruitful subject for
future comment.
Mr. Palmer, of Saline, has intro
duced a series of resolutions concern
ing the improvement of the Missouri
river, which .ire apt and to the point.
The resolutions passed the house and
will be forwarded toWashington w litre

eration at the hands of the Congres
sional delegation there. This paper is
forever committed to the policy of the
improvement of the,river. The fol
lowing are the resolutions:

A Year of Disasters.
So far 1S83 has been a year of start
ling calamities. More deaths by vio
lence have occurred within six weeks
than In all the fifty-two weeks of last
year, or any one of the three preced
ing years. More lives have beeu 1 st
accidents on sea and laud since Jan. 1
than were sacrificed in tbe Egyptian
war. More damage has been caused
by th storms and floods of the last
three or four preceding jears.
Hundreds of lives were lost and
millions of dollars worth of property
destroyed by the disastrous floods of
Germany. Three hundred people
wen', down with the steamship Cim-
bria. Scores of men and women met
with a frightful death in tbe New hall
House holocaust. The casualty list
was enormously inci eased by the loss
of the City of Brussels, the California
railway accident, and tbe series of ter
rible explosions that follow one an
other like the discharges of great sip.
nal guns of distress, or like harbingers
of coming gloom.
Then came the storms of snow and
sleet, sweeping over a section that had
scarcely recovered from the effects of
intense cold. Crops were damaged.
fruit treds were broken down, traffic
was suspended, and businesss checked.
Before tbe country had recovered from
the effects of the snow and ice storms
came the unprecedented floods in the
Ohio valley. These have tesulted not
only in great distruction of property
and loss of life, but in unsettling the
conditions of business activity iu the
nundated districts. Manufactories
lave been broken up or closed, thous
ands of people have been thrown out
of employment, and hundreds of oth
ers Lave lost their homes and all their
property.
Disaster has followed disaster, hor
ror bas succeeded horrer, and floods
have followed floods with such rapid
ity that no opportunity h is been given
tor recovery from depressing effects.
Public spirit and courage have been
beaten down, as it were, by cruel blows
iu the shape of accident and calamity
toward the lower level of settled de
pression and gloomy foreboding. In

Tiik proceedings In the star route
trials continue to be ofpulllc Interest,
the latest sensation being the with
drawal of HerdeU'a plea of not guilty
and Interposing one of guilt) . It will
be remembered Kerdell was Indicted
by tbe Washington Grand Jury some
time ago on tbe ground of being an ac
complice in a conspiracy to defraud
the government. The prosecution
were comayAto prove that an ac
tual conspuf.-rlexlsted before any
overt acts could be proven; aft-r a
trial of several weeks duration, it
seems they had so far succeededin es
tablishing that fact, that' the 'court
was disposed to allow testimony of a
severer and more personal nature, this
fact seems to have brought Rerdall to
a sense of his situation, and he at once
throws himself upon the mercy of the
court. Ills gratifying to say the
least, that some uncontradictory evi
dence has at last been found, esta!
lishlng the guilt of any of the numer
ous attaches of Pope Bob's angelic
host, that have, beyond a doubt, been
plundering the U. S. treasury. The
prosecution are certainly deserving of
great credit, although they have been
treated rather the opposite by the
press of the oouutry, who were anx
ious for an i'umediate conviction and
could brook no delay. If Judge Wy
lie continues in the same temper he
has evinced all alonz, the party who is
guilty and asks for sympathy, stands
a letter chance of getting something
else. ' -
There is more inquiry the "present
winter from parties all over the east
concerning Nebraska towns, advan
tages and business opportunities, than
have ever before been met in the same
time. Scarcely a day passes but the
piesideut or secretary of the board of
trade are confronted with communi
cations with voluminous queries con
cerning Plattsmouth in particular,
and Nebraska in general. All these
we are glad to say are promptly ans
wered and in due time the compensa
tion will come. Nebraska is looked
upon as one of the most promising
states in the Union, and people are
gathering here yearly in greater num
bers. In all the state we are satisfied
that no more promising city can be
found than Plattsmouth, aud no more
magnificent farms than in Cass county.
The board of trade in this city is both
energetic aud wide awake in its efforts
to placi) the merits of Plattsmouth and
Cass county properly before those who
seek homes and investments in the
west and none seeking a heritage
should pass us by unnoticed.'
The Senate Railroad bill has passed
that body, the vote being as follows:
Those voting in the affirmative were
Barker, Brown, of Douglas, Brown, of
Lancaster, Brown, of Clay, Brown, of
Colfax, Case, Conkling, Connor, Dech,
Dolan, Dunphy, JJye, . Fisher, Filley,
Harsis, Harrison. Heist. Howell, Kin

Shoenheit, Sowers, Walker 27,
Those voting iu the negative were:
Can field, Rogers and Sang.
Absent and not. voting were:. Bom
gardner, Patterson aud Thatch.
In the vote upon the passage of the
Senate Railroad bill, some members
felt constrained to explain their votes,
Senator Shoenheit, of Richardson
county .explained his vote as follows:
"1 vote for the bill for the same reason
that Christ was crucified. The rabble
cried 'crucify him,' and they crucified
him. The people howl for railroad
legislation and 1 am in favor of giving
it to them.'
When Nebraska City gets her
marine hospital and government
building Plattsmouth might as well
hang her harp on a willow tree or
else apply tor a location in the sub
urbs. Two important personages have
died the past week, ex-Gov. Mar
shall Jewell of Connelicui and ex
Gov. Edwin D. Morgau of New York,
two among the ablest and best re
publicans in the countiy, proven so
by years of efficient work in public
places.
Prohibition will not down in
Iowa; when that state sees the right
it is going to follow it though forty
devils stand in the way.
The prospects are flattering for
Plattsmouth to secure a steam flour
ing mill the coming summer, with a
capacity of 100 barrels per day.
The Usefulness of Capt. Payne.
Capt. Payne Is a kind-hearted filibus
ter. He has just allowed the army to
capture him again without the loss of
a charge of powder or a drop of blood.
There is something suspicious about
these Oklahoma raids and captures.
The modm operandi is always the
same. About once in three months
Payne gets his . band of professional
land raiders together and sets out for
the promised land. The news of bis
departure is immediately telegraphed
to Washington, and Payn becomes an
object of anxious capinet discussion
and a source of excitement in army
circles. Then there "are mysterious
movements ou the part of General
Sherman, and a day or two later the
public is informed that Payne has
been captured. Following his capture
comes his imprisonment at a frontier
post, whence he is turned loose to raid
and be captured again. Is Payne un
der contract to give the army employ
ment in order to prevent opposition to
army appropriation bills? Chicago

Uash Wiggins! Unfortunate Witf

gins' dy of fate. He had flamboy
antly aunouucc.l that on Friday a
terrific storm would sweep across the
North Amcricau contineut. His an
nouncement were ridiculed In tome
quarters, whereupon he staked his
reputation a a prophet upon the
storm of Feb. 'J. If it came, lie de
manded the honor of It. If it did not
come, then he would retire from pul
lic view and no longer claim to be a
prophet or the son of a prophet. Wig
glus hid made some felicitous guesses
of late, at least elaims.that he has, and
thero was a srrowlng coufidsnce iu
him. People had lost faith iu Har.cn
since his late issue with the muskrat

. Old Halts in the .Navy.
Secretary Caandler reported to Con
gress last week the names of thirty
six vessels which have been stricken
from the Navy Register under instruc
tions Contained in the last naval ap
propriation bill. The country's "wood
en walls" appear to be weaker than
tbey were last year to just this ex
tent, but the navy is really better off
without these old bulks than it was
with-them. Everyone of the three
dozen. ships!? good for .nothing, and
most of them will be broken up where
they lie. Mr. Chandler now ought to
tell, if he can, how muchf the 8300,
000,000 which the navy has cost since
he war has been thrown away on these
rotten shells. He should then be ask
ed to prove, if possible, that the money
which ttie remaining vessels in our so-
called navy are to use up, before they
are likewise broken to piece?, will not
also be absolutely wasted.
In truth, the way in which congress
appropriates money for the navy de
partment to squander is both painful
and ludicrous. Admiuister its funds
as honestly and economically as the
secretary may, there is nothing but
waste, waste. Mr. Whitthorne named
the other day three special weaknesses
of the American navy : In the first
place," he said, "we have no guns;
secondly, we have no vessels of any
speed : thirdly, we have no armored
vessels fit to cope with the weakest
naval power known to the history of
the World." These charges are all
true. And vet appropriations for the
navy have neer been stinted. We
have, however, as Senator Ingalls re
marked last maimer, the first requisite
for a navy an abundauce of water,

Iowa, as an infliction upon the people
of Plattsmouth for some unknown sin
which they have committed, has the
sublime clietk to undertake to read tbe
Herald out of the democratic. party be
cause it opposes that kind of regula
tien. Nincompoop, which according
to ebster, means "a. tool, blockhead,
a dolt" is entirely too complimentary
in characterizing such a nobody The
sooner the democrats of l'lattsmouth
get rid of such an irreclaimable idiot,
the better it would be for the demo
crats and Plattsmouth. Omaha Her
ald.
The above is perhaps a fair sample
of the. scurrilous, vindictive, and , ma
lignant attacks tbat have been almost
daily appearing in the Omaha Herald
for some time in reference to to the
editor of this Daper.' The readers of
the Journal know whether there is any
instification for them.. The Omaha
Herald editor seeks to occupy the po
sition of chief bulldozer of the -Ne
braska press, and in this matter has
shown himself destitute of every ele
ment necessary to constitute a gentle
man. We believe we are justified in
saying that his treatment of the writ
er hereof marks him a slanderer by
choice, a blackguard by : occupation
and a brute on general" "principles.
