It appears a writ of error has been
filed in the supreme court of Nebras
ka in the case of Mathlas " Mat."
Zimmerman, the man" condemned'XO
hang at Minden, on Saturday next, the
3lst Instant, and a stay of execution
ordered under the law in force. "When
the petition Is properly filed with the
clerk of the supreme court, the stay
of execution of sentence follows, as a
matter of right, without any order
from the court. Consequently, it is
not in order to commence, cussing the
supreme court, yet awhile.
Sedalia (Mo".) Register: This couii
try cries out in deep distress for a
few score of such men as VanWyck to
6tand in the halls of the nation's cap-
itol and fight back the hungry," snap
ping packs of greedy wolves, who
have gained accees to the treasury
througli the 6ufl"rages of the people,
and ire using muscle, brain and blood
thirsty determination to devour' the
very vitals of our government. What
a pity we can't have more men in
congress like thoso Irom the far west.
The same paper says: We would like
to see a presidential candidate in 1881
from such timber a9 Nebraska eeems
capable of furnishing.
Senator Van Wyck, it appears, has
many admirers outside of Nebraska.
The New YorK Herald says of the
Iroquois Club banquet at Chicago:
itvias, aiasi uie jxuuuuisj iuvu icui
" at Chicago, seems to 'indicate that
there'is no democratic party 1 There
is a conspiracy of fellows trying" to get
into 'office under the' false pretense
that they are the democratic party,
and their only credential is an alle
gation that they know Thomas Jeffer
son. But it is only a confidence game.
Thomas Jefferson wouldn't know
them if he stumbled over them. One
of the most troublesome points ol
these democrats just now is to know
what they mutually bftlieve iu. Some
of them believe iu free trade, but a
good many of them scout it, and more
are afraid of it.
The monument at Lexington, Vir
ginia, to Robert E. Lee, will be un
veilcd on the fifth of June. Jefferson
Dayi8 will preside, Joseph' E. John
ston will be chief marshal, and John
"W. Daniel orator. Great and good
men everywhere will horor the men
who honor the name and - memory of
Robert E. Lee.
"Great and good men everywhere
will honor tho men who honor the
name and memory ot Robert E. Lee.'
Jefferson Davis will preside, Jeffer
son Davis will honor the name of Lee,
and Jefferson Davis is a great and
good. man and all great and good
men will honor Jefferson Davis be
cause Jefferson Davis honors the
name and memory of Robt E. Lee.
All right Dr., there is a host of migh
ty email men in thi country if
the converse of. your proposition is
true, who will never honor the
name of a traitor nor esteem the men
who go into raphsodies over every at
tempt of Jeff Davis to keep alive in
the southern heart a patriotic love tor
the lost cause and its leaders. You
will find "great and good men" as
measured from this standard mighty
scarce in tnis country.
FACTS OF INTEREST.

mendous volume towards the fields of
western Minnesota and Dakota. Kan
sas also is receiving a large influx of
new settlers. Nebraska is far behind
both of her neighbors. Where thou
sands are seeking Dakota, hundreds are
crossing the Missouri into our state.
There -is no good reason why -this
should be bo- In the diversity of its
productions, Nebraska far -excels Da
kota and equals Kansas. Ic is the
greatest corn-producing state in the
union. . Its lands are not surpassed by
any for fertility. The'tronble is that
our state has not been sufficiently ad
vertised. Outside of the railroad land
offices little or no efforts have been
made to place the advantages of Ne
biaska as a home for new settlers be
fore the people of the east. Our coun
try press have done their full share in
building up the various towns and vil
lages within, the state, and their influ
ence has been felt to some extent
beyond the state. But there has been'
no organized, systematic and persistent
effort on the paxt of our people to at
tract immigration and to attract atten?
tion to. the development of resources
and possibilities oLNebraska. , This is
why othe states areow being, built
up at the expQBseof our own. ' - - .

very question is being tenaciously con
tested, inch by Inch in Illinois, under
one form or another, and from the tri
bunals of that state, the. supreme
: court of the United States is again en
gaged in settling the question which
the legal fraternity long. since have
'come to consider res-adjudicata.
The some question hag arisen in
Georgia, and the state courts there!
have followed the decisions of the
United States Supreme court, declaring
the right and authority of the state to
regulate rates; when this question is
promptly taken to the supreme court
of the United States by the railroads.
The Herald mentions these instan
ces as proof of the assertion that the
railroads of the country are not dis
posed to accept the ultimate decision of
the highest tribunal of the land; but
if possible keep the' question an open
one as long as possible. In our view,
this is very short-sighted policy ; it can
do no good. - The state courts are
bound by the decision of the U. S. su
preme court, and the continued bat
tling and warfare in the courts only
tends to stimulate and keap alive the
enmity and prejudices in the minds of
the people towards these corporations.
The Herald acknowledges that the
question is a grave one; that the exercise
of this authority (now acknowledged
by the Herald), is a difficult problem
to solve in uaking its true and just
application by the law-making power,
and the Herald believes if these cor
porations, in managing their affairs,
would pay more attention to the needs
and necessities of the producer in this
country, particularly to his accommo
dation in a legitimate manner, there
would be a better state of feeling be
tween these interests.
Democratio Mythology.
Jefferson is the democratic Odd of
economy, hence, the organization of high
toned Iroquis clubs and annual pilgrim
ages of democratic votaries, to worship
at the Jeffersonian shrine. There must
be a covert reason for this. It is true
Mr. Jefferson was a patriot who devoted
his energies to the cause of the colonies,
yet one fails to discover in his private
history on finances, anything such as
would inspire the average creditor with
any great amount of awe for economical
principles and practices, such as were
evidenced by Thomas Jefferson iu his
every day walk and conversation. Then
we enquire, what is it that deifies 3Ir,
Jefferson thus over and above the con
temporary statesman of hia day?
Democratic mythology is an interest
ing study, but you want to get clear back
of the days when tobacco was a legal
tender, when men and women and babes
were sold on the auction block; when
the national credit of this great country
was the "laughing stock " of all nations,
both civilized and semi-civilized yes,you
want to go back of these royal old dem
ocratic days; and the safest way to do, is
to strike the history of this country at
the close of the revolutionary war, when
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamil
ton and Burr, and men of that day, were
having a little tilt as to whether English
or French manners and customs should
prevail at the , Washington court This
is a very safe era to dig tip democratic
traditions, because such an invention as
modern democracy, had not been
dreamed of, much less discovered in
those youthful days of the confederation.
Bui ju9t bring this democratic party
down to the days when there was a dem
ocratic party and when that party made
history, and see how savage they become ;
point them to Andrew Jackson, Van
Buren, Tyler, Polk, James Buchanan,
John C. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, Rog
er B. Taney, and notice what a chilling
reception you will receive. Just why
democracy does not take up the Adamses
or Madison or Monroe, as examples' of
"economic principles" and practices is
hard to find out unless it is their old
yearning after the fellow who will make
the loudest professions, regardless of
their fulfilment. A comparison of the
administrations of Thomas Jefferson
apd chief executive, immediately preced
ing and following him while it means
nothing and signifies nothing as applied
to this day and age of electrify will
show whether Mr. Jefferson was entitled
to any special mention or praise for his
practice of the virtues of economy in
governmental affairs, and devotion to tho
liberties of his fellow man, more than
Washington, A(Iams,lIamilton, Madison
Monroe, and other Americans who played
their brief parts upon the stage of Am
erican independence at the time and
during the era of Mr. Jefferson.
It is no wonder an important faction
o? the democratic party of today are
calling for " live issues to tie themselves
to,'' as Mr. Harrison exprcsscd.it' in the
Iroquis banquet speech of his, the other
evening.
When one reads up upon this party of
dead issues, one can understand , tho
philosophy of their heathen niytMqgy
Cublet, the p -,nx Park murdej-j
