No other fair will be .held in Cass coun ty except our county fair on Sept. 18-1'J-.0 and 21, which will lo held jpn the new grounds south of the city 1$ mil en. The ground have been put in excellent condition, buildings haro been erected, upaoious ecd and Htock fetalis have been put up, pens for cattle and hogs are on the grounds, and the plan of locating all is adurruhle. The entire front of the buildings and stalls are in tho shade during the greater part of the day and the entire afternoon. Kxcellent water is plentiful on the grounds, and above all. we have a good No. 1 HALF MILK TRACK. Already there are many Uorse9 n the track speeding morning and evening, aud all lovers of fast horses are invited to drive in the ground and use the track; the gates are open to all. The new art hall is not yet built, but we learn from Secretary Ilitchie, that the same will be commenced this week and pushed to a speedy completion; and then in our estimation the Cass County Driv ing Park will have grounds that will be a credit to our city and county. The premium lists are out and in the hands f the secretary, II. C. Ritchie. Many have been distributed and if any one has been overlooked they are invited to call on him either in person or by letter and be supplied. There are many handsome premiums in the list and all should look carefully through the book. Come to the fair and make some display of some article. THE LADIKS are especially invited to make in their department a good display. It consists of art, jellies, home manufactured goods, fancy articles, dairy, pantry andjkitchen, flowers etc. The fair ones can help in making the fair a grand success and are urged by the managers to take hold and help. The speed programme will bring some f the best horses in the country to Plattsmouth and with a good premium list we shall have some of the fastest trotting, running and pacing ever seen in Cass county.

Several times since the successful ral 1'icb given by the republicans recently, the crestfallen democrats have made several boasts and bluffs of some future demo cratic rally. The remark: "Just wait until we have a rally, wo will show you fellows what kind of a procession demo crats will make upon this streets." We have waited, and the hearts of the re publicans were in their mouths whe the sound i f the mighty horns were heard in our laml at the appointed hour when the "demo, procesh" was to march on our streets'. The preparations, boasting and "great I am" speeches occasionally made in all public quarters only a few days ago, lead the republicans to believe there must be something in it, and the many who turned out to watch them exhibit themselves, swallowed their hearts again with ease. The B. & M. band had been engaged in some way, and the mourners who stood aside and watched them as they moved down the street, apparently enjoyed the funeral marches. A more solemn sight could not be imagined. The band was left alone in its solitude as it marched down the street, while groops of two and three of the mourners walked in the direction of the depot. The special was to pull out at o'clock, but when the re porter arrived at the depot, lie readily learned the cause of the delay and wit nessed considerable anxiety among the abitious democrats. The whole trouble seemed to arise on account of the non appearance of the required number. One of their prominent backers, when he learned of their dissatisfaction, murched to the ticket office in his authoritative style and commanded the ticket agent, who had refused to allow the special to pull out unless one hundred tickets were sold, to send the train along and he would see that the required amount would be put up on their return. The trustworthy ticket agent could not hear to this and informed them that the railroad company did a strictly cash business. He could not let the train go until thirty more tickets could be disposed of in some way Upon learning this, the "silver-tongued orator " of the party, after bracing him self and exhibiting a bold front, with a bill raised above his head and yet no great distance from the ground, which some supposed would not exceed $ 10, and frankly offered it by saying, "Gentle men, here's a dollar, there's no excuse for us holding the train here because thirty of our number did not show up " He was requested to keep his boodle for fear of further demands when Mr. F. E. White came to their relief by "putting up" for thirty tickets himself. The money was handed over and the few previously dis couraged democrats sent on their way rejoicing to the land of the Wahoos. The reason given by the gentleman for making so extensive a contribution was that he wished to have the town relieved of the crowd for one night. About seventy-five passengers were canied to Wa hoo that night, where they h-iped out a slim rally at that place. So much for the democrats and we would advise them to try again. Well Answered. Editor Herald: One, S. P. Vanat ta, makes a malicious, cowardly and vil lainous attack on me through the columns of the Journal. Two years ago this man was a candidate for the nomination of county attorney, before the republican party, and demanded that I should con cede him the delegation from the 1st ward of this city, in which we both lived, and upon my declining to yield to the modest demand, he swore vengeance, and went to the Louisville convention and sought to prevent my nomination by the use of the same billingsgate that he uses in his article in the Journal. Being the only person who sought to defeat my nomi nation by personal abuse, failing in that, he said he would defeat my election, and for that purpose sc tight a nomination from the democrats, and they not being will ing to take him into their fold on the terms proposed, he fell back on the prohibition party, and stumped the county during the campaign, passing as a prohibitionist; with the avowed object of defeating me and electing a democrat. In his pub lic speeches, he abused the republican party like a pirate. He has no great af fection for me, because two years ago I detected an1 exposed his habit of seeking the defense of indigent prisoners and tak fees from the county and in addition, taking fees from the prisoners or their friends; neither is his love for mestregth- ened by the fact that 1 exposed ins me thods of defense in the prosecution of a notorious house of prostitution in this city. I have this man's record, both here and nt Lincoln, and if it should become necessary, will not hesitate to make it public. The good words wuicli he says about Mr. Clark, the city attorney, which by the way, I heartily endorse, are not nromnted bv anv erood feelinus he ha for Mr. Clark, but are intended as taffy to induce Mr. Clark to be a candidate against me. I am a candidate fwr re noniination for the office of county at tornev. and as for my official conduct during the time I have held the office, refer to the judges anil otneers or our courts, and I hereby brand the assertions made by this man Vanatta, as unquali fiedly and maliciously false. ALLEX BS.N. UNION. Hon. II. F. Taylor was in town today. G. A. Roose is on the sick list, but is improving. II. J. Davis was in town Saturday even ing, the 20th, 1888. Miss Agatha Tucker of Plattsmouth is visiting friends in this vicinity. W. Ii. Davis is a democrat, but finds time to "Hurrah for Harrison and Mor ton." G. U Saxon has been engaged in haul ing rock for some time for a barn foun dation but wound up just in time to "hurrah for Harrison."" A rumor is nlloat that a prominent widower of Lewistown is sailing high near Union. Judge made ready for the time is drawing night. (Eddie.) Dr. Wallace says Cleveland is flying. Yes, Doc, I am afraid he will never lite. Mr. J. P. Backer and party from Platts mouth attended church Sunday eve. at Rock Creek. Joe Cole was in town today "Hurrah ing for Ilarison," and when asked what's the matter with the Herald, re plied, in 'a harmonious voiee, saying, "Its all right." That's what we s:iy too. Joshua Lynn is putting in a fish pond near Union, and persons .seeking a sa lubrious climate will do well to stop over at Union, registering at the "Pacific." and pass their time fishing, driving and rid ing on the "street cars" (at Plattsmouth.) When Armour, the greatest pork pack er in the United States, builds a million dollar packing house here, when G. W. Elliott, the proprietor of one of the best business colleges in the United States, moves his college here, then my kind ma tured, good democratic friends, Cleve land will be president, but you can't have him before. O yes ! We forgot to say that we want the Herald with us too. We must have it ! Dr. R. B. Wallace is still wearing mourning. Doc, you will wear more mourning than that before Jan. 1st, 1889, wont he Tom? In counting up the votes in the city of Union, we find that about two-thirds are straight forward, energet ic and prosperous republicans. "Hurrah for Harrison !" Union has organized a brass band and is composed of about 20 members, she also has a base ball club. Paul Schminke and wife were in Union Saturday evening and when asked, "What's the matter with Harrison," re plied, "He's all right." That's what we say too. Free trade we do not want todav. Fortlie laborers says itooesn't pay. Harrison ridesapre.it big horse, And Cleveland rides a mule, O Harrison will be tlie president-. And Cleveland will be tlie t 1." Yours Till Later, J. "SlISYL." Reunion at Norfolk- From Tuesday's Daily. A large delegation of the G. A. R. boys aud their families left this morning for the encampment at Norfolk this week. Following is the list: Wm. Morrow and wife, Henry McMackcn and wife, Mrs. Harry Reese, Sam Carrigan and wife, Capt. II. E. Palmer, John, Leech, Guy McMacken, Joe Carrigan, Geo. Melvin, Chas. Melvin. Frank Pine aud several others, but we failed to gt their names. An Epigrammatic Statement. Is there anything in this world so vile As the pestilent presence of potent bile? We have it, we hate it, we all revile The noxious nausea, as did Carlyle. But why bewail what soon is mended? Take P. P. P. and have it ended. All praise the pow-ir of "Pierce's Pellet," Wise people buy and druggists sell it. Hon John Y. Stone of Council Bluffs, who favored , the 1 oung Men s Republican Club of Plattsmouth with one of the most eloquent and entertain in" addresses upon the occasion of their recent annual banquet, has been nomi nated by the republicans of Iowa for at torney general. The Herald extends its congratulations not only to Mr. Stone, who is recognized as one of the ablest lawyers in the western slope, but also to the republicans ot progressive Iowa upon, the wisdom of their selection. Look and Live. My lady reader, don't pass me by with the unkind remark, "Only an advertise ment." I may do you good. I may un fold to your view the "pearl of great price." I may be the means of restoring to you health and happiness. I surely will if you are suffering from any form of nervousness or female weakness, and will act upon my suggestion. I bring to your notice, with every confidence in its merits, a remedy especially compounded to meet just the requirements of your cdse Dr. Pierce's Fayorlte Prescription, bidding you look and live! Ladies everywhere, who have used it, speak volumes in its praise! The school board has decided to open the schools again sooner than was at first anticipated. The rooms will be opened on the 10th of next month if all present arrangements are carried out. when there will be a errand reunion of the school children. The ambitious scholars, who have been promoted, will return to the school with lightened hearts and start out on their new studies, while the more careless ones are less jubilant and return to trod the same road for another term.

The piotcctivc system must be maintained, lis abandonment has ahvavs been followed by general dis. ctei to all interests except those of the uiimiei and sheriff. We denounce the Mills' bill as destructive to general biifinefs, labor, and the forming inter ests of tlie country, and we heartily endorse the consistent ami patriotic action of the re publican representatives in congress in oppos ing its passage. We condemn the proposition of the democratic party to place Wool on the free list ami insisi. that tlie duties thereon fclia 1 be adjusted and maintained so as to fur nish full aud adeiu;.te protection to tli.it lit em try. The republican party would effect all needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing t he taxec tin tobacco, which are an arrogance and buideit to agriculture, and the tax upon spin's used in the arts and for mechanical pur poses, and by Mich revision of the tariff laws as w ill tend to check imports or such aitb-les as a-e produced by our people, the proiiuction of which giver employment to our labor, and re lease front import duties these aitieles of for eign product ion. except luxuries, the like ot which cannot bt produced at home, there .-hall si ill remain a, larger revenue t ban is rrtjui.-itt for t he wants of government, of internal taxes rather than surrender any part of our i rolec tive system at the joint behst of the whisky ring and agents of foreign manufacturers.

We declare hostility to the introduction into tt.ls country of foreign contract labor ami ol Chinese labor alien to our civilization anil our constitution, and we demand the rigid enforce ment of existing laws against it and favor such immediate legislation as will exclude such la bor from our shores. We declare our opposition to all combina tions of capital organized in trusts or other wise to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens and we recommend to congress and the state legislatures in their respective jurisdictions such legislation as will prevent the execution of all schemes to oppress the pet pie by undue charges on their supplies or by unju-t rates for the transportation of their products to market. we approve legislation by congress to pre vent alike unjust burdens and unfair discrim ination between states. ITIJLIC LAN I) I.KOISI.ATIOX. Ave reaffirm the policy or appropriating the public lands of the Chited States to be home steads for American eil izens and settlers not aliens, which the republican party established in is 2 aga.nst the persiste.it opposition of the democrats in congress, , which lias brought our great western domain into magnificent tle velopemer.t. 'Ihe resNrratiou of unearned land grants in the public domain for the use of ac tual settlers, w hich was begun under the ad ministration of President Arthur should be continued. We deny t hat the democrat e party lias ever restored one acre to the people, but declare that by the joint action of republicahs and democrats about fifty million acres of un earned lands, originally granted for the con struction of railroads, have been restored to the public domain In pursuance of conditions inserted by the leimblicnu party in the oiiiiin- il -'rant. We charge t e democratic adminis tration w ith laiiure to execute laws securing to settlers title to theii homesteads and with us ing appropriations made lor that purpose, to harrass ir-nocent settlers with sides ami prose- cut ions under the false pr tense of exposing frauds and vindieatinj; tho law. ADMISSIOX Of TKKIUTOKIES, The government by coEgress of the territor ies is based upon necessity only to the end that they may become state in the union: there fore, wiienever l lie condition or population, material resources, p- blic intelligence and morality are such as to insure stable local gov ernment therein the people of such territories snotiiii oe pcrniiiicu, a rigui inucrem in mem, to fori.i for themselves eons it ut ions and state governments and be ;ul itted into the union. Pending prepaiau n ioi statenood an omcers thereof sliouhl be selected trom bona l'ule residfiils and citizens of the territory wherein they n re to serve. South Dakota should of right be immediately admitted as a state in tlie union under the constitution framed and adopted by her people, and we heartily en dorse 1 he ectioll of the lepubltean senate in twice passing hU for her admission. Tlie re f"sal of the democratic house of representa tives, :rr partisan purposes, to favorably con sider these bills i a willful violation of the sai red American principle of local self-government, and merits the condemnation of all just men. 'Ihe pending bills in tiie senate for acts to enable the ueople of Washington, North Dakota and Montaima territories to form con stitutions and establish state governments should be passed without unnecessary delay. The republican party pledges inself to do all in is power to facilitate the admission of the ter 1 itories of New Mexico. Wyoming. Idaho and Arizona to the enjoyment of self-government as states. Such of them as are now qualified as soon as possible.and others as soon as they may become so. THE MOBMOX QUESTION'. The political power of the Mormon church in the territories as exercised In the past is a men.ince t free institutions too dangerous to he lone suffered. Xl ere fore we p edge the re publican party lo appropriate legislation, asserting the sovereignty of the nation in ali the territories wheie the same is questioned, and ia furtherance of that end to place upon the statute book legislation stringent enough lo divorce ro'.itical from ecclesiastical power, aud thus stamp out the attendant wickedness of polygamy. '1 he republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and con demns t he policy of the democratic adminis tration in it efforts to demonetize silver. We tietnand the reduction of letter postage to l c-nt ner ounce. In a republic like ours, w here the citizens Is the sovertiun and the ollici-l the servant where no power is exercised except by the will of the neoole. it is important that the sover- Pigu eople should possess intelligence. The free school is the promoter of that intelligence which is to nreseive us a free nation.

The men who abandoned t he republ man par ly iu Issl ami con t in ue to ad here to the. demo cratic party have deserted not only the cause of honest government, but til sound linancc, of freedom ,;hmI puiity of the ballot, but espec ially have desei tr-d the cause of reform in Un civil service. We will not fail to keep our pledges because t! cy have broken theirs, or because their candidate has broken his. We ; here fore re pea' our declaiat ion of tssi, tow it : Tlie reform of civil service auspiciously begun under leiiublicaii atimiuidiatioii should In completed by a fin I her extension of th- reform system already established by law lo all grades of the service to which it is applied. Tlie spir it and purpose of reform should be observed in t. executive appnintiueiils, and all laws at vai ience w it h the object of exist ing reform it g islation should be repealed, and that the dan gers to free instil ut ions which link in the Dow er of official patronage may be wisely and ef fectively avoided. The gratitude of the nation to the defenders of the union cannot be assured except bv laws. The legislation of congress should conform to the pledges made by a loyal people, and be so enlarged and extended as to prov-de against tlie possibility that tiny man who honorably wore the federal uniform shall becou e an in mate of an almshouse or dependent on i rivate charity. In the presence of an ow-illowing treasury it would b- a public scandal to do lc-.-for those whose valorous seriee pit-served the government. We denounce the hostile spirit dittwn by rresiilciil Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and t lie action of the democratic house of representa tives in refusing even consideration of general pension legislation. In support irf the principles herewith enun ciated, we invite t he co-operation of patriotic men trf all parties, especially -f all working men whose prosperity is seriously threatened by the flee trade policy of the present admiii ist ration . The first cot cein trf nil good government is the virtue and sobriety of i tie people Mid the purity trf their homes.

Fair sapphire skies that are soft smiling down, Smiling down in the golden sun. Full fair on his head, like a gleaming crown, Crown my beloved one: For I have a secret, fair sky, blue sky.

Writing on "Dress ami Economy," Mrt. Henry Reeve gives us some very remarkable "facts and figures ami other data for tho construction of a sctile of expenditure and of ratio to income of the cost of clothes." The writer has evidently been at much jiains to collect these "facts," etc., from various in formants, and though these latter often pre fer to give tho house rent they pay rather than the income they jiossess, their informa tion is surprising enough. One lady, who has a "small income of S0O a year," finds 30 enough for her tlres. Another who, with her husband, enjoys an income of 1,500 (no children) spends only "0 on her dress, while her husband's averages 10s. per annum. Again, a professional man with "2,000 a year to spend," gi ves his two daugh ter 40 a year for dress, and a "gentleman who shoots, plays tennis, mixes in the best society in town and country, ami travels on tho continent," spends only '- a year on his raiment. Finally, an inrjuiry among twenty-eight bachelors (including members of parliament, civil servants, barristers and country squiresi shows a maximum expendi ture of C1 and a minimum of 14, or an average of 'Si a year, spent on dress. Pall Mall Gazette. Ilindn Women's Advancement. Early in the present century infanticide was suppressed by the Anglo-Indian govern ment, and sati wa.s also abolished in lH'-i'.K Since that time any one accussd of commit ting the one or abetting the other has been prosecuted as a 'murderer. Sati was more ea.-ily put down than infanticide. The in terior of the zanana is so private that crimes are sometimes committed there that never come to light. Indeed, child murder is un d-iubtedly jrerpetruted often at the present day. T wo other of the boinls fastened upon Hindu women vy a corrupt priestnooti are loosening and will seon fall off, viz., infant marriage and perpetual widowhood. As Hindu women advance in education and gen eral intelligence they naturally begin to un derstand their own rights and privileges, and are not so easily pursuaded or coerced as heretofore. This i, of course, the inev itable result of education, which priests and sages foresaw, and which they desired to avert by keeping them in tho strictest ig norance, Mrs. E. J.

I wiw walking on Kinj street, Toronto, one day with a gentleman, a Canadian, who was carrying rny umbrella, over rny head for me. noticed that every woman who passed me looked at me with a superior smile or a pro longed stare. I could not understand it, as my frock was plain and I had discarded my jaunt v American hat and had an out-and-out Canadian chapeau, about which there could Lo no mistake. Finally I aslied my com panion: "What is it they are starinz at?' "They know you to be an American,'' he answered, "because I aru carrying your umbrella. A Canadian woman would no more expect her escort to carry an um brella for her than she would expect him to fly, but American women expect these little attentions. They are used to them, they take them as their right, and," he added gallantly, "Canadians are happy to give them to the Yankee queens."

Besides, the book is a material link between two persons, a chain made of matter, I mean, by which they can bind themselves by reading aloud, and by enjoying together not only the author's mastery of the theme, but also his force of language, his eloquence, his poetry, his wit. Reading together is great bond of union; also ithas thia advan tage, that there is heart lore as well as mind lore in books, there being poets and rtory tel iers as wells as historians and philosophers. There is no point or height in human experi ence which friends and lover3 may not climb together iu books. They may chooso from the circle of the sciences or sweep over the whole orbit of them. "J.
