Mr. Hurton of the News, cither did
not write the foregoing: or elne he
listened to the representations of
his "attache" and blindly swallowed
very weuk Btory. The comment
of TUB IlEKAU) on the case of
O'Donohoeva. Milton I) Polk and
his father, was in our opinion fully
warranted by the facts in the case
as they were retailed by the elder
Polk. The News is supposed to
liave a fine scent for items, (is a
usual thing, but its editor was not
in court when the case was called,
indeed the News, was conspicuous
for its absence, both in the person
of its editor and its trusted "at
tache," who was the first and princi
pal defendant in the case which at
tracted so much attention from the
public. The IIekald wants its
neighbor to understand that it ifl
responsible for that item of news.
It was published as a legitimate
item of news without conspiracy
or consultation with politicians or
outsiders and without thought of
doing our neighbor harm or break
ingdown the News, as that paper
terms it. We are not in that bust
ness, although we have heard that
the mission of the News, since its
"attache" took charge ot its column
was to "swamp The IIekad" and,
however that may be, we want Mr.
Hurton to understand that we do
not run a newspaper for that pur.
pose we are publishing a paper
because that is our business and
trade; it is our profession; we have
been brought up to it and do
not know how to do anything else;
we are not publishing a newspaper
for fame or health, like our neigh
bor; neither are we bothering our
selves over politicians and their in
trigues; nor have we hired a poli
tician to edit our paper. Now as to
the item which seems to annoy our
neighbor, does the News doubt Mr.
John F. Polk's evidence given to the
court and public under the solem
nity of an oath? Or does it prefer
the word of its "attache," which has
proved so disastrous to the father?
If it does, of . course thai settles it
with that paper, but we want to say,
right here, that we stand ready to
satisfy anybody else of sound mind
that the old father's word is bettei
than the son's, and we are prepared
to prove it It won't do to charge it
to politicians, nor sny the old
gentleman is mistaken on the wit
ness stand. This was a civil action
right here in court, in the city of
I'lattsmouth, and in the presence of
our citizens, and if a newspaper
hasn't the right to comment on the
fact of that trial THE IlKKALD
wants to know it. Listening to
that testimony we, like the balance
of the spectators, felt justly indig
nant that such wrongs should go
unpunished in this community,
and we commented on the case in
that spirit and in no other. Per
haps the News can explain why its
trusted iattache" was not in court
to deny the testimony of his father,
and to clear his skirts from the
charges made against him? Here
was a very excellent opportunity to
make a denial, and a much more
appropriate place than the columns
of the News, when we consider that
Milton P. Polk was the first defend
ant in the case and within a few
yards of the court room when the
case was in progress of trial. We
have more evidence than was given
on that trial, Mr. Dtirton, and we
hereby notify you that our com
ments were tame when compared
with the facts in the case.
TlIK coming republican national
convention will be the lirst since

CAPTAIN Yocum of Hastings was
eentenced Friday to the peniten
tiary for one year, the lightest sen
tence that the court could impose'
and last Saturday, the next day
after the sentence had been pro
nounced, AdjutantGeneral Vifquain
canied to Hastings a pardon for
Mr. Yocum from Governor Hoyd.
There will be but one verdict on
this action of the governor and that
will be a verdict of approval.
Nothing but the letter of the law
convicted Captain Yocum. The
jury, the judge, the spectators at
the trial and the people over the
state all felt that equity demanded
that Captain Yocum, who defended
his home and family from the lies
of a traducer, ought to be justified
in his act and told to go hence a
free man. Hut the law in its strict
letter has been complied with and
the governor has exercised his
right under the law and given
justice to a man who stands,
though convicted under the law,
justified in all that he has done to
protect his home and his fireside.
DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES
One of the objects and results of
a protective tariff is to diversify the
industries ot a country, bom agn.
cultural and manuiacturinf.
We are all more or less dependent
on each other tor what we consume,
and protection enables us to pro
duce nearly nil our wants at home
instead of buying them abroad.
If our farmers were to grow noth
ing but wheat and our manufac
turers were to make nothing but
steel rails, they would have no
home market of any value for
either; but by protecting every
thing that can be grown or manu
factured, we make the best use ot all
the natural resources of our coun
try, we lessen the cost of transpor
tation, we bring prices down to a
reasonable level, and at the same
time good wages and crood profits
are insured to all.
tor instance, by putting an ade
quate duty on tin plate we not only
establish that industry, but aid a
score of allied industries way back
to the mining of the ore and coal.

HOME, SWEET HOME.
Not long ago a distinguibhed
Knglishman and jurist visited our
country. On the eve of his return.
in a public address, he alluded to
the fact that wherever' I e went he
was asked whether he was not
amazed at the size of our country,
ThiB student of lawand government
very kindly, but very decidedly, re
buked this too prevalent pride of
bulk, and called our attention to the
finer and higher things that he had
observed in our American civiliza
tion.
So to-day, as I look into these in
telligent faces, my thoughts are
turned away from those things that
are scheduled, that have their places
in our census returns, to those
things which belongs to the higher
man his spiritual and moral na
ture. I congratulate you, not so
much upon the rich farm lands of
your country as upon your virtuous
and happy homes. The home is the
best, as it is the first, school of citi
zenship. It is the great conserva
tive and assimilating force. I should
despair for my country if American
citizens were to be trained nly in
our echools, valuabld as their in
struction is. It is in the home that
we first learn obedience and respect
for law. Parental authority is the
type of beneficent government. It
is in the home that we learn to love,
in the mother that bore us. that
which is virtuous, consecrated, and
pure. I take more pride in the fact
that the republican party has al
ways been the friend and protector
of the American home than aught
else. I3y the beneficent homestead
law it created more than half a mil
lion of homes; by the Emancipation
rrochmation it converted a million
cattle-pens into homes. And it is
still true to those principles that
will preserve contentment in our
homes. I gTeet you as men who
have been nurtured in such homes.
and call your thoughts to the fact
that the republican party has al
ways been, and can be trusted to be,
friendly to all that will promote
virtue, intelligence and morality in
the homes of our people. Benj.

From TuasdayS Daily. 1
The war in Wyoming between the
sheriff and Governor Harbour is
still pending. The following dis
patch, dated Cheyenne, Wyoming,
is taken from a ninrning paper:
That now historic wire of the
Wyoming Inland Telegraph com
pany, that used to pulsate widi
news from the seat of the rustler
conflict, has been thot down since
Saturday. News from Johnson
county is brought to Douglas by
the mail carrier and sent here bv
wire. The dead wire has been re
duced by the thieves, who hope
now, emboldened by their victory
at the "T A" ranch, to muster a suf
ficient force to take the prisoner of
war irom live companies of the
United States army at Fort McKin-
ney. More than u thousand rust
lers and their friends, including
sneritr Angus and deputies, are en
camped about the post, and only
tear 01 neavy loss in a collision re
strains them from making a rush
on tort iMcrunney. lliey are will
ing to pay almost any price for the
half dozen unarmed men ot Wol
cott's command. At several ranch
es visited in riding from the
country, men were heard advocat
in the ckinning and burning alive
of the men on the list. The depth
of their hatred and vindictiveness
is marvelous. It is not because
Champion and Kay were killed es
pecially, but it is based on the
broad and peculiar premise that
mere must he no lntertereuce with
rustling.
Governor Barbour says to-night
mat ne nas requested General
Brooke to deliver the prisoners in
this city. Colonel Van Horn will
start when he feels that the overland
trio to Dourrlas can be madp with
safety. It is feared now the rustlers
will bum ranches and murder men
who have been inactive. There is
much feeling against the foremen,
who are believed to have known of
the movement and keDt still.
The trial of Dr. Charles Bingham
Penrose, the Philadelphia physi
cian, which was to have been held
to-day, was postponed until Thurs
day, owing to the inability of the
Johnson county authorities to be
present. In an interview the doctor
says he left the invading party at
Tisdale's ranch on the second day
out on account of sickness. He
strenuously denies havinir been
with his party at the killintr of
inampion anu Kay.
Dud Champion, brother of one of
. -. . n
tne dead men. is at Buffalo. He Mt
Johnson county last fall because he
ten this coming. Dud now says
he only wants a look at each mem
ber of Wolcotts party and he will
remember them all and mav have a
chance to get even. The fellow is a
ngnter, as are two other brothers of
the family. One is a fugitive from
justice.
Iherearenow in Chevenne two
ranch farmers bf Johnson county,
two miners, Mayor Barritt of Buffa
lo, H, R. Mann, receiver of the land
office, and Thomas Botiton. editor
of the FIcho, all afraid for their lives
to venture to their homes and prop
erty. All have been warned. Sheriff
Augus still refuses to deliver the
expedition teamsters to Colonel Van
Horn.
The Rockv Mountain News nf
Denver, has just received a bulletin
irom casper, Wyo.. savintr that two
men, badly wounded, arrived thprp
this afternoon and relate an exciting
story of the burning of Champion
and Kay by cattlemen. The bulletin
is meagre and everv effort is beino-
made to obtain the particulars.
