WIsK - To whom Mil coiiuieiiilcatluiis for this deparl inciit I'liouUI be addiUNsed. Wo have been astonished since Me became intcrcs'ted iu thi trtujierauce work, to tin I so many theoretical tein-peiau-.-e people in Plattsinoutli. They can tell you exactly how the tiiinperance work should be carried on; they can in form you iu every im-tance where our temperance woik lias failed, what whs the caue of the failur ami the reined v: Hit y cm; shake their hi ads over nnd t e wnil the fate of the poor wretch who in drinking himsell to death, and applaud the prudence of the moderate dtinker, who "knows when to stop.' Hut when you a-k them to put their shoulder to the wheel, to give their means and their influence to help crush out this terrible evil, they shrink back, and say ' it's' quite impossible fcr them to do any thing; the method is all wrong,' and thev cry out in fivnr of personal liiierty, as it this frame did not lake away per sonal liberty and leave its v't'' ho e- legs wreck.. ..I it nece.siry 10 tl"',"'l(" on th's .-uliject. when it is so tr.iiiicully set t'ortti on niir .reels every day J Vc have n et ivid quantities of g od iidvice on ti.- mall iii-nieut of our tem peirince ro'iimn. We like good advice iinir.ensi I .-, ( w e tlon't alway- tako iti. V- know when people are willing to be stow a.Kice oral iiitou-Iy. Ilmt they are somewhat Interested in the su'-iect on which they advise. Says one o)td gentleman friend 'You must be very careful not to write 'I'nyt'iiir.' pi r.-o:ial ; confine yourcd to .-tatii-! ics. they nre always safe; u.-e the scissors liberally, but dont say anything about drinking in Piattsmouth, a great many of our best citizens drink." I took the advice meekly; but when I sat down to hunt up statistics, it kept oc curring to me that if I had a husband, son, or brother, or anybody belonging to me wlio was a drunkard, the one gallou of liquor that they consumed would be of fur more interest than the hundreds of gallons annually consumed in Great Britian, and that while it is always in teresting to know what the various tem perance organizations are doing in other cities, we w tild be tar bolter pleased to know what the temperance people in -Piattsniouth are doing to reclaim those who have gone astray, and what steps arc being taken to prevent o'hers from falling. We think direct, earnest, Chris tian appeals from well known men and women in our midst, are worth more than all the statistics that were ever com piled. Send us an article for the tem perance column that w ill appeal to our young men; and if you can think of imv particular one that you would like to reach, that will not probably read the column, mark it and send it to them; they will read it then, and the thought that you cared for and thousht of them, will make it of ad.iitional interest. Dr. John Hall, in an urticie entitled, 'A Thing to Cry Over," touches in a p i thetic manner the common habit of laughing at drunken men. Dr. Hall stood on a bout in New York harbor. Not far off was a well-dressed but tipsy young man. Beside the doctor was a plainly-dusted man. 'When Dr. Hall saw the people laughing at the drunk ard, he saw ia his neighbor's eyes such a sad, pitying look that he said to him, "They should hardly laugh at hiiu." Said the man, '-It is a thing to cry over." Then he told Dr. Hall of his own wife, who took to drink in Scotland, and who promised to reform if he would come to this country, but did not, and dit?l of drunkenness; and w hen the doctor hoped that he had comfort in the children, he said, "One, the second, is a good g'rl. The oldest is not steady, I can do noth ing with her; and the youngest, a boy, can't be kept from drink. I've sold my place, and am going to a town in Ohio where I am told, uo linuor tan be had to try to save him." Dr. Hall closes as follows: "Who would not wish for abstinence societies, tracts, books, minis ter's sei mons, young people's pledges, humane' laws? One almost iiics for anything that will stop this slow, cruel murder of home love, of men, of women, of little children, of hope of eace, of im mortal souis."

I charge it as the cause of almost all the poverty and almost all the crime, and almost all the ignorance, and almost all the irreligion that disgrace and afflict the laud. I do in my conscience believe that these intoxicating stimulants have sunk into perdition more men and wo men than found a grave in the deluge which swept over the highest hill-tops, engulSng the world, of which but eight were saved.

John A." McMcrpht in the ab- is the edityof-the Resolutions of Thanks. The following resolutions were of fered at the session of the sixth an nual encampment of tho Department of Nebraska G. A. R., and were unani mously adopted : Hesolvfd, That we hereby tender to comrade S. J. Alexander our heart felt thanks for his ably and faithful services in behalf the Grand Army of the Republic during the past two years, and in order to show him that his services and his comradeship are appreciated, we hereby retiolve that a committee of three be appointed to procure a proper testimonial to present to him in behalf of Department of Ne braska G. A. R. Resolved that the able, faithful and zealous services of Comrade Rind. P. Cook, assistant adjutant general, are worthy of the highest piaise. His de votion to our order, his work by day and by niht, his exemplitication of fraternity, charity aud loyalty.endeais him to every comrade of the order, aud we, as an encampment, heieby de clare our appreciation of his eminent services. Resolved, That this resolution be handsomely engrossed and framed, and the bill be presented to the assist ant quartermaster general for pay ment. Resolved, That the sixth annual en campment of the department of Xe- braaka G. A R., remember with pride and pleasure the ethcienl services ren dered by comrade ". I,. Howell, of Byon Post, Xo. tl, of Grand Island, Neb., a a iiuai termaster of the most successful and elegantly conducted re union, hold at Grand Island iu Septem ber lait, that iu the perfect system es tablished and the smooth and even tempered conduct cf affairs we recog nize the master hand of comrade How ell, to whom we owe much that we cannot repay. That wo deepiy sympa thize with him in the temporary afUic tiyn that prevents his presence with us to-day, and humbly trust that he may lecover quickly therefrom and be asain ready to meet with us in our business and social reunions. The committee appointed were com rades II. E. Palmer, II. M.Wells and F. E. Brown. One of the sensible things done by the late legislature was the passing of II. R. 1, submitting an amendment to the constitution extending the time of the sessions of our legislature to sixty days, and paying the members a fea sor able compensation for the time they are engaged in their legislative duties. Under our system of choosing our legislators, ie., electing the entire body at one and the same time, expet i'.'iice has taught us that on an average nineteen out of twenty members elect ed are men without legislative exper ience. It takes the average man at least twenty days to become familiar with the rules governing a deliberative body, and with committee work. Take this with the fact thai every other ses sion has to choose a United States sen ator, which consumes the lirst two or three weeks of the session, and we can readily see that a limited forty days' session is and always will be a failure. Had this resolution made pro vision for half of the members eh ct of each body holding over, it would, in the opinion of the IIekald, have been still better, for then our legislature would always have enough of experi enced members to take hold of the work of that body and advance it from the commencement of the session. There is noceonomy in a forty days session. . j - - - Mr. ). W. Poller, who lias shown him self in several emergencies to be one of the most sagacious men iu the iron trade, agrees with the Tribune that lite theory which cites tlie turift' agitation as the caue of the iron failures, is all w rong. 'It is not the tariff" (that is. the ta!k in Congress of lowering it;, said Mr. Potter in his interview, "that is .doing the mis chief; it is simply foolish, silly competi tion running the mills and securing or ders at less than they can possibly do the work lor." Mr. Potter might have added, as he undoubtedly believes, that what he characterizes as '-silly, foolish competition'' has been produced by an excessive tariff, which stimulated produc tion artificially and attracted more capi tal than can be profitably employed in the iron industry. It is this unnatural competition which has overstocked the market in spite of unprecedented con sumption of iron, nud finally broken down prices below the paying pont. Some time ago Mr. Potter expressed the opinion t'.iat the duty on steel rails, that is now $28 a ton, might be safely fixed at $14. The present price of steel rails sustains his judgment. Rails are worth 2o in England; if $14 be added as duty ana from $;J to $5 for transportation and handlin", it would cost from $42 to 44 to lay English rails in Chicago. But the American rails have been selling at from to 40. Had the duty on rails been $14 instead ot 33, that figure would have been enough to slop importation of rails, aud the price of American rails, ranging '.u the neighborhixid of $40, would have repaid investment, but would uot have attracted so many surplus mil lions of capital, nor stimulated over-production, nor led, iu the end, to collapse and hardship. The same line of argu ment will apply with more or less force to all lines of ir.m goxls; if the tariff on foreign ai tides had liecn a!out one-half of the present -ates the iroa industry would le in much better shape than it is todav.

Imunivmu nt ; 1 lie Cihcatto Times on the Tariff. When the democrats in Congress pretend that they have not been try ing to obstruct taritt legislation, they pretend falsely. No intelligent person who has attentively followed the re ports of proceedings can have failed to see unmistakable evidencos of a settled purpose, not even skillfully concealed, on the democratic side of both houses to prevent any action by the present congress. Mr. .Morrison, in the house, and Mr Bayard, in t lie senate, are about the only conspicuous persons who hm e manifested u willing ness to accept moderate reduc ions, taking the best they could Indue, the majority to concede. Mr. Randall and other democrats ol the Pennsylvania variety have, it is understood, been de sirous of having something done that would be accepted as a settlement of the tariff question for the time being, or until after the elictlon of speaker of the new house, at least. Aside from the few men referred to, the democrats generally have niiiiiiieated a disposition to obstruct. This is plain ly to be seen iu the great number of frivolous and irrelevant amend ments they have offend, arid in the lime they have wasted in talking. When, on Monday evening, Senator Vance offered an amendment foi the exclus.-ve benefit of southern moon fhiniers, and made a long speech in I support of it, obstruction was obvious- ly his purpose. And a like purpose has been made apparent a hundred times on the lloors of ltotli houses. I lie Conquering Power of Pi oleetion. From the Memphis Avalanche. One by one the "free traders" fall under the wheels of the protection car. S'ugar captured Louisiana, Wool Texas, cotton seed oil Arkansas, rice South Carolina, and now jute has slaughter, ed the Kentuckjian and Mississippi "freetraders." If there be one state more than another that wascounled,ou to stick to unadulterated free trade that state is Mississippi. It is eminently an agricultural stale, and its traditions are all free trade traditions. There was still further confidence repos-'d in Mississippi remaining true to its tra ditions, because it was supposed lliein was nothing produced in that stale that needed any protection. But this is a mistake. The article has been found. It is jute. And Senator George wants a protective tariff for jute, and Senator Williams, of Kentucky, also wants juto protected. The senators are simply performing their duty to their constituents, but they should not poise as "free traders." The foregoing froru tho Memphis Avalanche is good. A popular cam paign with its smoke and fume is a good place to howl fiee trade.but when our democratic representatives came under the control ot the speaker's gav el and are called upon to legislate up on this question, the commercial in terests and the welfare of their con stituents will demand their a.ten tion as they ought to do. Each one looks after the welfare of his poition lar locality and so from the necessities, requirements and demands of the whole country. Compared, equalized and harmonized, an adjustment of du ties must and ought to bo had. The least harm to the few and the most good to the many, should be the motto of our representatives in hand ling this many-sided question.
