Speaking of good business men and
their ability to manage municipal affairs
reminds us that the only similarity be
tween Sherman and "Weckbach consists
in their both being democrats.
The address of Judge Ilayward of
Nebraska City before the Young men's
Republican Club, last Friday night was
unexcelled upon a programme represent
ing some of the ablest apeakcrs in the
state.
Gov. thayer's review of the growth
and developeuicnt of the Republican party
in Nebraska was an interesting feature
of the programme at the Opera House
last Friday evening as was also the stiring
ppeech of Atty. Gen. Leese.
TnE young men's banquet of last Fri
day night was a brilliant success. The
speeches were excellent, four of which
we publish in full, but we regret very
much to say we were unable to publish
them all, especially those of the Governor
and Attorney-General.
One of last Friday nights speakers from
Omaha knows of the embarrassment
which comes to republican olHce holder,
under a democratic administration, when
attempting to eulogize Cleveland at a
republican banquet. That kind of talk
may do in Missouri, but it is no good in
this neck of the woods.
The Omaha Republican's .report of
Thurston's speech at the Young Men's
Republican's banquet, studiously omits
all mention of that gentleman's eloquent
tribute to James G. Blaine. The Repub
lican is anti-Blaine but it is not thought
that that will have any serious effect up
on the health of Mr. Blaine.
The Omaha Bee is imaguative to say
the least. Saturday mornings issue re
ported Geo. S. Smith as making one of
his characteristic and eloquent speeches
before the Young Men's Republican
Club, while as a matter of fact Mr. Smith
did not speak at all. This accounts for
the Bail i) Journal making a similar mis
take. Democratic Free Traders are so ab
sorbed in the study of their pet theory,
that we can not reasonably expect them
to recognize the revolt against Cobden
isni which now prevails in several Euro
pean nations. France and Belgum are
breaking away from the policy England
Bought to establish throughout the conti
nent, and are turning their attention and
framing their laws more after the protec
tive system of the United States. Exper
ience is a better medium of enlighten
ment than gilt edged theories bound in
morocco, and we are not surprised that
European governments arc gradually
awakening to the benefits accruing from
a wise and judicious tariff. Not Ameri
ca's wonderful progress alone has incited
the revolt in Europe against absolute
free trade, but their own experience has
largely prompted the dissatisfaction.
The principles and theories of our free
traders read very well, but an application
of practical facts as demonstrated in bus
iness circles knocks out the poetical the
ories in the first round.
"The democratic party is here" says
the Kansas City Times, "to keep the re
publican party from changing the form
of government and destroying the liber
ties of the people." That's the poorest
apology for the existence of the demo
cratic party we oyer heard. Just look at
it a moment. "The democratic party is
here to keep the republican party from
changing the form of government" Ye
gods! why we only have a government at
all because of the failure of th's same
democratic party to destroy it, and now
lo and behold it bobs up with a counte
nance like that of a snake, and claims a
sort of protectorship over the nation it
once endeavored to trod under loot.
And then asrnin it lives to "protect the
liberties of the people. " The liberties of
the people would be much better protect
ed were the democratic party dead. As

every measure calculated to enlarge com

Cratuitious Advice.
If the city council do not know what
to do in the matter of paving, grading
and sewcruge it is not because of any lack
of advice on the part of outsiders. From
the amount of instruction which lias dai
ly pounced in upon them, we are sur
prised that the members are not overcome
with thoughts of their own incapacity;
but up to this writing they still hold the
fort and are endeavoring in a plain busi
ness way to solve the problems connect
ed with the successful and prudent in
augeratiou of public works in our city.
No matter what steps are taken by the
"city 8tids" or whe ther any steps at all
arc taken, there will be no end of criti
cism, and persons who know the lest
about their own affairs are usually the
freest in their advice to other people.
The questions involved in the building
of public works and the raising of rev
enue to pay for the same, arc of great
importance to any community, and while
suggestions, and advice of business men
are sought for purposes of making plain
the best method possible, it is neverthe
less presumptuous on the part of the
Daily Journal to read such men as
Weckbach, Murphy, Dutton and Gresual
lessons on their duty to the public. The
idea of our contemporary laying down
the law, so to speak, to these men is re
diculously cheeky. The city council for
the most part is composed of men who
might read lessons in business manage
ment of public affairs to the Journal
editor, and much to the latters profit
1 here is no question but it would he a
nice thing for the city to pave, grade and
out in sewcraire: but all this can not be
done at once however much such action
may be desired by those who do little
else toward assisting such a work but
talk and write hifalution articles on how
other people should spend their money.
Give the council a chance.
New Issues
Bob Ingcrsol denies having any interest
whatever in politics and claims as his
a.
reason therefor that there are no impor
tant issues before the public. Bob is
about as great authority in politics as he
is on religion. So long as the democrat
ic party keeps up a lingering existence
and participates in the management of
the government there will be issues upon
which the people will be enthusiastically
divided. With that party pandering to
the English aristocracy to the sacrifice of
our fishing industries and in various
ways crippling our commerce upon the
seas, with a democratic administration
turning out Union soldiers to make places
for Confederates, with a president excr
cising his utmost strength to defeat the
granting of pensions to persons rightful
ly entitled to them, and with a democra
tic majority in congress there is a flatter
ing opening for the increase of issues up
on which the people will be divided.
And speaking of new issues the New
York Tribune is impelled to remark "In
like manner the Question of honesty in
elections and freedom in suffrage at the
South, has seemed and still seems, to a
great body of citizens, more important
than any other living question. Opposed
to them are not merely those political
managers in the Southern States who
have secured victories by fraudulent me
thods, but a large body of citizens who
feel that the existing evils in Southern
political life, whatever they may be, can
only be corrected by action within the
Southern States, and cannot be removed
or lessened by any protest or interference
in Northern States or by the gen
eral Government. This issue eoes to the
very foundation of our free institutions.
Through one policy or the other, it is
necessary to look for an abatement of the
evils wjiich, if permitted to continue,
render selt-govemmcnt for all or us a
fraud or a farce. It would be childish
in the last degree to suppose that citizens
having these beliefs will suddenly put
them aside, because some new political
contrivance rattles in their ears, unless
convinced that the welfare of the country
depends more immediately upon action
in a new direction.
The old issues are not dead, because
they go to the root of political action in
a free government. Others could be
named, as every thoughtful cttizen will
perceive, which arc equally fundamental
in character. These exist, and fix the at
tention of citizens, because their radical
and lasting importance is known. Those
arc foolish who imagine that divisions of
opinion on such questions caxi'be sudden
ly urusueel away uy inventing some new
political issue.
The Young Men's Republican Club.
The young Republicans of Plattsmouth
are to be congratulated upon the success
which attended their third anniversary
celebrated as it was in a most becoming
manner at Waterman's Opera House last
Friday evening. The entertainment it
self was not only of a high literary order
and worthy emulation among republicans
all over the state but the example of
keeping intact the political organization
is one to be commended to our fellow
workers in other localities. With their
latter feature which gives to this club
the proud distinction of being the only
political society in the state which keeps
alive its enterprising spirit during the
whole year and instead of a Democratic
administration throwing about the club
any discouraging influences it has instead
prompted the boys to more vigorous ex
ertions and strengthened their convictions
in the republican faith. The hearty re
ception given Patrick Egan was a tribute
not only to a very worthy gentleman but
it was an indication of the interest and
sympathy extended the Irish people in
their struggle across the waters.
Reference to Irelands determimed fight
forashare in the government of their own
land called forth hearty applause and
must certainly have convinced Irish dem
ocrats that republicans are no less appre
ciative of the justness of their cause than
they themselves. Another feature of the
banquet which the most casual observer
did not fail to observe, was the almost
unanimous preference for Blaine as our
candidate in 1883, but whether that can
didate be Blaine, Sherman or any other
good straight republican, he will receive
the party's patriotic support in which the
Young Men's Republican Club of Platts
mouth will lend a helping hand.
Wm. E. Chandler.
The nomination of Wm. E. Chandler
for U. S. Senator by republicans of the
New Hampshire legislature will meet
with general approval among republicans
throughout the country. The Senate is
so evenly divided that the nomination of
a true blue stalwart from that state was
among the things most devoutly wished
for, and the outcome shows conclusively
that New Hampshire republicans believe
in placing a man in the Senate who can
be counted upon to stand by his party
through thick and thin. There will be
no doubt about Chandler's position on
any question affecting the party's inter
ests, nor will there be any suggestions
that he is allied with the administration
He doesn't belong to that class of people.
lie is a stalwart from the word go, and
democrats of sham reform pretentious in
and around Washington will give the
senator from New Hampshire a wide
berth. More than that he is a man of
national reputation and the action of the
legislature in refusing to shelve one of
the old wheel horses, is commendable,
and might be followed with profit by re
publicans in other states.
Politics is getting two evenly divided
now days for republicans to be putting
mugwumps in office or any body else who
can not be relied upon. Its all right
about having smart and great men in of
fice, but it is well to have men you can
count on, and there isn't anything be
sides honesty and patriotism which gives
the rank and fill more satisfaction than
the knowledge that their canditate is all
wool and a yard wide, so to speak, poli
tician. Chandler is thoroughly acquaint
ed with navy affairs, having once pre
sided over that department, and if he
does'nt wake up the New York dude
who poses as secretary of the navy, we
will miss our guess.
Amateur Newspaper Writing.
From the Bo9ton Courier.
The season has arrived when the would-
sunimer correspondents haunt the editor
ial sanctums, and offer their services
to furnish letters, in return for which they
usuall expect sums sufficient to maintain
them in luxury at the most fashionable
and expensive summer resorts. There is
something at once touching and exasper
ating in the confidence these people have
in their powers, and widely distorted ideas
they cherish concerning the pecuniary re
sults of a summer correspondence.
. "I thought," one of them remarked to
the editor, with a candor beautiful to
see, "that of course newspapers wanted
information about the best society, and
of course to get that one must live at the
hotels."
"Why not have a cottage and be done
with it?' retorted the editor, whose tem
per was somewhat harsh that morning.
"There is a feeling in favor of cottages
nowadays, you know, and mere guests at
a hotel haven't the best chance after all."
Her large and childishly pathetic eyes
filled with tears.
"You make me feel as if I were a fool,"
she said gently.
"I beg your pardon," he apologized.
"I certainly didn't mean to be rude or
unkind; but there are so many people
who want to write letters, and they all
have such wild ideas that it is difficult to
be patient always. You have never
written, you say?"
"No, but I am sure I could do it. My
friends have always said I write very
bright letters."
The editor opened his lips, but lie clos
ed them without saying any thing un
pleasant.
"I don't doubt that," was all lie replied,
"only it is difficult to find a place for all
the nice things that are written. There
are only so many columns in a newspa
per, unfortunately."
When she was gone he fell to ponder
ing, for the thousandth time, why every
body believes it possible to write for a
newspaper without training. People do
not, as a rule, think it a simple matter to
make a table without training, and sure
ly journalism is a more difficult art than
carpentering; while if the rewards of
newspaper work were as great as these
amateur contributors seem to think, edi
tors, instead of sitting in hot offices per
forming the unpleasant duty of dashing
the hopes of ardent young 60uls, would
own their seaside villas and be themselves
off to cool seaside resorts at the first hint
of scorching summer days. Correspond
ence is not only an art, but it is a diffi
cult branch of journalistic work. Of all
the crowd of rash aspirants who rush
hopelessly after every possible vacancy,
not one in a hundred get even a chance
to try; not one in 500 ever succeeds in
doing mush besides filling a few futile
and unhappy columns.
Wues asked when he would join the
democratic party Parson Brownlow is re
ported to have answered, "When hell
freezes over and the devil is dancing on
the ice." About that time we expect Jim
Laird will become governor of Nebraska.
