on the grounds, and the plan of locating
all is adurruhle. The entire front of the
buildings and stalls are in tho shade

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.

A Democratic Downfall.
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.

Miss Agatha Tucker of Plattsmouth is
visiting friends in this vicinity.
W. Ii. Davis is a democrat, but finds

Rock Creek.
Joe Cole was in town today "Hurrah

what's the matter with the Herald, re

"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

When Armour, the greatest pork pack

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."

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,

the republicans ot progressive Iowa upon,
the wisdom of their selection.

My lady reader, don't pass me by with
the unkind remark, "Only an advertise

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!

We denounce the Mills' bill as destructive to

of the democratic party to place Wool on the

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

We declare our opposition to all combina

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-

tration w ith laiiure to execute laws securing to
settlers title to theii homesteads and with us

harrass ir-nocent settlers with sides ami prose-
cut ions under the false pr tense of exposing

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. 'I here-
fore, the state or nation, or botii conbined
shou'd support free institutions of learning
sufficient to tTord to eveiy child growing up
in tlie land the opportunity of a good common
school education.

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. 'Iht republican paitv
cordially sympathizes with t-11 wise and well
directed efforts for the promotion of temper

Bird, sweet bird, in the npplo tree spray,
Hendir.g down with its blushing snow,
Lift up your sweetest songs today
Tor the secret that I know;
A secret that's tender, r. secret that's tru",
Do you wish, happy bird, that I'd tell it to youf
You, sure, would not listen and then fly away,
Piping: ' Somebody's coming today today
Somebody's coming today."
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.
And no one today is more gladsome than It
Flash it not, suiilioains, with waters ut i lay, .
That somebody's coining today, today,
Someone Is coming today I
Purest of lily buds, cool on the breast
Of the lake's fair sheen aud shade, '
I wish adown deep In your chalice at rest.
Were uiy secret, for I am afraid
That the tree and the sky and tho bird in hit
Aud the sunbeam that glides on your bosom
along.
Will tell all that I think and all that I say
Is: ''Somebody's comiug today
Ah. me! Some one is coming today"

luiiglis'i Expenditure for Dress.
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

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

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

Heart "Lore I'ouml In Uoolt.
Therefore book knowledge is great knowl
edge. 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. V. B." in Globe
