The Plattsmonth Herall The republican party is for a do!, lar that ia worth 100 cents. Now will the Journal pleane tell ms which Hide of the silver question it '.a on? KUKOPE ia all excitement nt the present over the cholera ncare, as four cases have been reported in PariB.

A Nkukaska statute prohibits the killing of robins, blackbirds and meadow larks from January 1 to November 1, under a penalty of f'.S for each bird killed. TllK republican party in INKS was in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and it is in favor of the same to-day, ts long as the sil ver dollar contains 100 cents. Pk. Kkki,KV has this to say of the cigarette habit: "It brings confu sion to the brain and heart and a train of Ills from which it is hard to recover, even though you stop the habit. I will not treat a man who persists in using the cigarette. It results in insanity and death." An exchange says that "danger ously large democratic majority in congress" have for four mouths been industriously boring a gimlet hole in the McKinley tariff law and asks them to please yell when they get the hole half way through, so as to let the people know of their grand achievement. TllEKE is a pearl button factory in Kau Claire, Wisconsin, and the I'earl llutton Republican Club of that city will go to the Minneapolis conven tion wearing pearl buttons and lin en dusters, the manufacture of pearl buttons having been fostered in that city by the McKinley law. THE Des Moines Democratic Lead er says: "It is extremely doubtful if Cleveland could be elected. There is little doubt that Uoies would sweep the country." There is a mania just now in democratic cir cles to get hold of some old rene gade republican, such as Uoies, Palmer, Gray, or Campbell. The old wheel horses of democracy have to take back seats when "a convert" wants a place. TllK Journal asks us to explain our attitude on the silver question. We will do it, as that is the easiest question the Journal could ask us for we were not on the fence like the Journal is. We know right where we are. We are in favor of an honest dol lar, one that has 101) cents in it. One that will pass for a dollar and buy a dollar's worth of goods in any part of the globe. We are opposed to any 70-cent dollar, stamped with the Godess of Liberty, that, as soon as it gets be yond our shores, will not buy a dollar's worth of goods. ON THE WRONCITRACK. Last evening's Journal credits an editorial which appeared in this paper the evening before to the pen of Judge Chapman Mr. Journal you are on the wrong track. Judge Chapman did not write the article.he knew nothing of it till he rt ad it in this paper. It was written by our selves in this office and we con sulted no one out eide in regard to it. If your valient Uryan was not sat upon in the democratic convention in Omaha, we do not know what the expression "being sat down on' means. Whatkvek the republican side of the house lacks in numbers is made up by a full supply of courage, brains and clear-sighted determina tion. The splendid conduct of the republican minority during the fight over the silver kill extorted ex pressions of admiration from such still necked democrats as Crain of Texas. iI couldn't iieip" said Mr Crain, "but admire the magnificent discipline displayed by the repuHi can minority. It was equal to that German regiment. They advanced, retreated, " wheeled, "' faced about, marched, counter-marched,' and charged like trained yejerans. It was magnificent and it was politics.". Several hundred thousand VepublS. cans say ditto to that. The republi can minority has done nobly. An born post. , CRISP'S ADMINIS ' RATIVE WEAK NESS Mr. Ha 'ley of Texas, in objec'itg to the passage nf any bill in tie house mile a quorum votes, is ad ministering to his party some of the medicine wlm-li it dalt out to the republican-1 in the Fifty t'ns-t congress. The IYx.is Matt-iii;ii', of course, has morn I and technical aw well as poetic ju-' ice on Me si'le in this matter, an l hi parly win right in the precerdiiiif emigre- ' insisting on the observance of lliis requirement. Mnt the -.tiitie- nt the case had much le-jJ to '! wih the democratic jwitioii on tl.i point at that time than had the te eiri? to impede and embarrass the republicans. At the beginninir of that congress the republicans had in the house only six or seven mem bers in excess of a quorum, and naturally they had the utmost lif ficulty in keeping a quorum on hand at all important exigencies. They were obliged to rely chiefly on their own part in this endeavor, for the democrats often contrived to be absent in critical emergen cies, and thus prevented the speaker from counting them in maKing up the quota. In such cases the point of "no quorum," which iwiiw democrat left behind for the purpose would make, often placed troublesome obstacles in the waj' of legislation. In this way Mr. Kailey has been the means of revealing a surprising lack of administrative efficiency in the leaders of his party in the house. The democrats have about seventy members in that body in excess of a quorum, yet on many important oc casions a quorum, even after count ing the republicans on hand, has not been present. For a large part of the time nearly half of the ZM democratic members of the house have been away from their seats. This is a record of absenteeism which is altogether without example in recent years. Apparently the speaker and the heads of his chief committees are powerless in the matter of securing the attendance of their colleagues. They either lack the respect of their party or culpably neglect the elementary precautions to secure the presence of a sufficient number of their fo! 1 wers to carry on the business of legislation. Their is no cohesive ness or zeal in the party interest and advancement among the members of the organization or else their chief and his "whips" are grossly and amazingly derelict in their duties. At all events the discipline which waa en forced in the republican house last year and the year before is utterly and conspicuously absent now, and the democracy, with all its donii nance of strength on the rolls, often finds itself pitiably and contempt ibly weak at important exigencies, St. Louis Globe-Democrat. THE PROSPERITY OF OUR WORK MEN. There has never been a period in the history of this or any other country when the general rate of wages was as high as it is now, or the prices of goods relatively to the wages as low as they are to-day, nor a period when the workman, in the strict sense of the word, has so f un secured to his own use and enjoy ment such a steadily and progres sively increasing proportion of a constantly increasing product. Hence, so far as our experience goes in dealing with the great Hood of immigration which has poured in upon us in increasing measure dur ing these twenty-five years, greater in the last ten years than ever be fore, all the facts and the conditions would tend to prove that we might invite its continueance, so far as it consists of the intelligent and the capable who constitute by far the greatest portion, rather than im pose taxes to keep the intelligent and capable from earning here to improve their condition. We now have specific and absolute data in respect to manufactures, the me chanic arts and mining going to prove that, through the application of science and invention in these specific directions, those who do the actual work in the sense in which the workman uses that phrase in a lessening number of hours and with less arduous effort secure constantly advancing wages, increase purchasing power, better food and more of it, more clothing, if not quite as good on ac count of the obstruction to the im port of wool, and also, outside of a few congested districts in cities, better shelter at lessening cost to the occupant.

The stamp of the government is no better than that of an individual. Ah long an the government has the gold and goods behind it and is able to pay on demand, then its stuuip is good, but when the gov ernment fails to have this backing its stamp becomes worthless. The supreme court holds that it is with in the sovereignty of congress to is sue United States notes, whether in peace or war, and to make them a legal tender, this mithority extend ing to the determination of the volume of such currency. As to their redemption, these notes bear n their face a promise to pay, Inch means in coin, but no time is xed for their redemption, nor is ny interest allowed on " them. ich, in fine, is the greenback, both nder congressional law and the .ecifion of the supreme court of lie United States. There is no law irohibiting the issue of this green ack to-day. Why did the govern ment stop issuing them and in place issue gold and silver certifi- ates? Hecause they did not buy is much as a gold dollar would in ur own country. In 1870 if Mr. Sherman wanted a gold dollar he ad to pay a premium to tret it. Mow, Mr. Sherman, if you had ailed at the treasury department when you were in Washington you would have seen goldjand silver bullion, not coined into monev. piled up in the vaults there for very dollar issued by the govern ment. This bill ion is bought at the market price and u certificate .sailed for as many dollars as its value calls for in the market by weight. Take this gold and silver bullion away and let the covern- inent have nothing to back it up ex cept its stamp of a promise to pay and you would soon find that a dol- ar in gold would buy more than any other kind of a do.'lnr in this country. THE JOURNAL ANL) SILVER. Mr. Sherman of the lournal tries to get around the silver question with a lot of stuff about a father repudiating his own offspring and winding up with the followin para graph: "To test this matter the Tmirn.-il in ready and anxious to pay the editor of THE llEKALD or anybody else a twenty percent premium in gold for all the silver (Inlhirsi lii rim iniv for seventy cents, or even seventy-four ceius. Now if Mr. Sherman was going to Kurope the first thing he would do when he got to New York, he would step into a bank and exchange all of his silver for gold or buy a draft or a bank note m the county to where he was going, and he would be par ticular to see that the draft called for gold. Why? Because a gold dollar will buy more there than a silver dollar will. Uut Mr. Sherman does not need go so far for a proof, he can find it riht here in America with our sister republic, Mexico. In the city of El Paso, Texas, you can buy a Mexican silver dollar for 80 cents and these dollars hare more silver in than the U. S. silver dollar, and if you are going into Mexico what do you do? Why you go to work and buy up all the Mexican dollars you think you will need while you are there. Why do you do that? Why not take U. S. silver dollars.' They pass just as readily in Mexico as the Mexican dollar does. It is just because a gold dol lar will buy 20 cents worth more of goods in Mexcico than a silver dol lar. The Herald wants a dollar that will buy just as much goods in Mexico as a gold dollar will. Silver rises and falls in value just the same as iron, tin or any other metal that is mined, and such metal ia in demand, and that is one reaaon to day that our silver dollar has not 100 cents In it. TmJHkkaID waiits enough silver put into a ; dollar 'so that it will strike the medium or center as near as possible it fluc tuates 'Id price. .'' U" The' Kansas democrats have en. dorsed Cleveland, who has come out strong against free silver, and they. also endorsed free silver.' It lakes a democratic covention to be inconsistent.

The Clevel m I d 'inocrats begin to see that "the late convention" to be held in Ne.v York will prove to be as great a blunder as "the winter convention" wat-. The party in New York seems to tie as "between the devil and the deep sea," and it mat ters little which way they go.

The senator advised that the opposing factions kiss and make up, and that the two great leaders he kicked aside among the useless furniture.

Why, because the protective reciprocity policy ad vocated by it, is paying oil mortga ges, getting the people out of debt and with large numbers, increasing their bank accounts.

Indianola, Ia., Herald. SMOKELESS POWiER IN WAR. It Gives Many Advantaees to the Side MukluK the Attack. The introduction of smokeless powder Las had considerable to do with a cU;ra;,'e of tactics on the field ol battle. In the absence of the smoke screen on both sides, the company officers not only find it easier to work together, hut can con trsl their men and judge the effect of their fire on the enemy to a far greater degree than was formerly possible. Frotu their point of view this increased power of control more than compensates the attack for the increased facility of con cealment smokeless powder confers ot the defense. It is true that the latter also profits by the same increased power of control, but they argue that from the nature of tilings the defense, striving only to prevent being beaten, whereas the attack fights with the determination to win, the latter is in a position to make far better use of this new powder than the former. Put in another fori, it comes to this: The heavier and more ac curate the fire whistling . over a trench, the harder it is to make men raise their heads over it to take aim. Smokeless powder makes it easier for the attack to deliver such a fire; hence the difficulties of the defense will be increased. Further, in the absence of smoke, men stationary on the defense cannot escape the depressing influence of the dead land wounded lying around them, but the attack leaves all these evidences of tho fight behind it. So here again the advantage is on its side. With reference to tho question of the use of smokeless powders by the artil lery, the general idea seems to be that it was all a gain to tho side which thought more of killing its enemy than of avoiding being killed itself. It enor mously facilitates tho maintenance of fire discipline within tho battery, permits of continuous fire even at the most rapid rate, for no smoke interferes with the laying of the guns, and above all things cheers the hearts of the men by enabling them to see the results of their fire. As a means of concealment it is of no use at all, for even at extreme ranges of 5,000 yards and upward the flash of dis charge is always distinctly visible, and at fighting ranges the flash enables one to note exactly the position of the ene my's guns. This was not always possi ble with the old powders, for the smoke obscured the object and prevented one's picking up an exact point to aim at. The artillery will be far from regret ting the loss of the two clouds which hung, the ono in front of their own and the other in front of the enemy's guns, Smoke is a cover added to that furnish ed by the ground, and no one has ever been anxious for his opponent to have covers which he himself could not turn to advantage. If. both are deprived of this cover victory will belong to him who, all else being eqnal, can most skillfully supply the deficiency. Maneuvers will hereafter probably take place over larger areas before ac tual fighting begins, and something of an Indian's craft and natural keenness will be needed on the part of staff offi cers. Smoke has been so good a cover on many occasions that its absence will impose sew conditions, and natural cover will have to be much mors ex tensively utilized. With the vanishing poetry of the smoke battle the prose of a new era will begin, in which combat will be mors like a game of chess in view of ' the pieces as a whole, and new dispositions of ' old qualities and virtues will be wanted.
