when inflamed by too much bad whiskey
or when mistreated by their employers.
They have been to a great extent outlaws
upon our cattle ranges for years. With !
a broad brimmed hat, a pair of Mexi
ican spurs, a good mustang and a small
arsenal strapped around him, he has been
the court, judge, jury and executioner J

honest, faithful servant and will risk his I
life for his employer as freely and gaily
as he will go to his meals, when1 her u
well treated. The best thing the ranch

boys sood wasres and there will be no
trouble.
CITY COUNCILMAN PATTERSON
- The city council did a wise thing
last evening in insisting upon Hon
James M. Patterson remaining in the
council. Mr. Patterson is a good, care
ful business man, and doubtless
it is a yexy unpleasant duty to have to.
attend ...council meetings and be
annoyed with the unsatisfactory rou
tine of city affairs. We know Mr,
Patterson is ery busily engrossed in
bis banking duties, and that to attend
-council meetings and give his atten
tion to city affairs is often very annoy
ing and inconvenient, but some" one ,1
has to perform this duty. , -It ia a ia-J
bor of love and some one has to sac-1
rillce their good time for the good of
the whole. Mr. ' Patterson has been f
chosen by his fellow citizens to per-1
form this duty, consequently be is the J
man who should sacrifice for the good I
of the city.
Gov. Butler may disappoint all I
political parties in Massachusetts,
I
uu c presume uu is uwug u, uuMto th . ad ... - - -
aur observation has be n, that such
ovcrhaulings as he is giving the
state institutions of the staid old
Bay State, results always in the more
careful and wise management of
those. institutions. The Herald
des not believe the half of the tes
timony adduced before the legisla
tive committee now engaged in the
pleasing work of advertising the av
erage individual of Culchaw," down
in Massachusetts, as worse than Can
nibals. We know about how these
investigations are managed. Ne
braska's asylum for the insane had
an overhauling last winter, and we
suppose people living at a distance,
when they read the evidence of some
of the witnesses: before that investi
gating committee, believel Ne
braska must be inhabited by :i set of
barbarians. There is too often a
way down motive back of these in
vestigations, which will not bear the
light itself; and the best way to do
is to withhold judgment until all
sides are heard.
The message of Mayor Smith which
the Uekald published yesterday, con
tains many excellent suggestions which,
If observed by the city council and his
honor, will result in much good to our
city during the coming season, and the
Herald congratulates the people of
Plattsmouth on the general disposition
evinced by citizens of all parties,to speak
a good word for our present city govern
ment, and encoursge and sustain them
in all laudable undertakings. The may
or specially calls the attention of the
council to the necessity of taking good
care of the Main and business streets of
the city and making such improvements
thereon aa the case requires, and the cit
izens will observe that these recommend
ations do not call for aa outlay of any
considerable amount of money, either
!y the property owner or the city. Also
the recommendation as to a system of
. water works ia a very reasonable one;
cither cisterns and wells or a reservoir ol
sufficient capacity to supply the amount
of water needed in case of emergency.
Everybody can see by looking around
our city that the individual is doing"" Ma
art in local improvements. Every
where; -residence are being built aud
property improved and. beautified In
- many ways, and at great expense. It is
.'due these people that the public streets
be kept in sacb repair that they furnish
the citizen a safe and convenient means
of passing tQ and from the basinesd por-
" ? " . ' .. .t HI
of the mayor upon this subject is apt and
appropriate. The suggestions r.f the
mayor, in regard to the expenditure of
Jhe public funds of the city are eery

I or lectures calling attention ' tb the
duties of the day the sacrifices
made and the lessons tausht on
Sunday, 3Iay 27. -1 hereby command
posts of toe Grand Army of the Re
public to attend aaid services in! uni
form. In cities and Tillages where
it will be practicable, I recommend
union services. - I
3. I . recommend that the Grand
Army take especial steps to secure
the presence ana aid or the children
and youth of the country in thel cere-
mony " of strewing- flowers, and oth
erwise honoring the dead, and to
that end I hope that all public and
private schools, colleges and acade

4. Let the hand of fraternity and
charity be extended to the widows
and orphans of our dead heroes.
Seek them out; distinguish, them
from all others, and teach them that
on this day the Grand Army mourns
with them the loss of the precious
ones whom they gave to save the na
tion. ; .-. . . !.-:'
I recommend that the! lova
women of the nation be invited to
aid in this work. . Thev will toil with
willing hands and grateful neiarts.
Though others may have forgotten
tne dead, the women have I never
ceased to remember them ana treas
ure in their pure hearts, their heroic
services. .'

and charity for all,' let us unite in
this sacred duty. Let the I choicest,
fairest and most fragrant flowers be
culled, and the soft white j hands tf
the loyal women of the land .entwine
tne wreatn ana rasnion.Uke cross, and
crown, dropping here and there,, like
the .dew, a tear for. the dead. let
the choicest "gardens be 'desolated
that the .memory of the union sold
ier may not wither. We will lift
once more the curtain that bides the
dark past, and see our fallen martyrs
die for liberty. They gave their
lives a cheerful sacrifice. They died
in the hospital, on beds on pain, be
foro the flag was. torn with shot and
shell; on the battle field in the fierce
maddening charge; on the picket
line, under the leafy trees, close to
the babbling brook; in the prison-
pen, wnere no pitying voice was
heard, and no hand was reached out
to save; in the swamps, fleeing from
a fate worse than death; and some
went down in the mighty deep,
where, the wild waves lashed "care
lessly over their bones. Many sleep
in graves marked unknown, but the
loving hearts and eager hands of a
grateful people will cast flowers upon
tne soit green sward tuat covers
their dnst. Let the gate.s of all the
cemeteries in the land open wide,
and their guardians render all .the
aid in their power in this noble work.
Comrades, a few short, years fleet
ing swiftly by, and bur children will
be called upon to perform this duty.
Let us so live that the lessons of
Memorial Day will ever be imprinted
upon their hearts, and they will wil
lingly take up the work where our
palsied hands have left it, and per
petuate for all time to come the
touching ceremony we have inaugu
rated.

RA1LB0AD WAR IN THE COURTS.
The contest now going on between
the Illinois Central' rail way;, and
the state of Illinois, in the supreme
court of the United States, is attract
ing wide spread attention, and we
notice that apprehension, ia felt by
many , who profess to know whereof
they speak, in regard to .'the outcome
of this contest; There have been many
changes upon the supreme bench of
the V. S. court since the days of the
Granger decisions, and these changes
are thought to be of such a character
as to seriously imperil the standing of
the Granger decisions. The turning
over of those decisions ; the enuncia
tion of another and different doctrine
as between the states and these cor
porations would be a startling shock to
the mind of the yeomanry of this
country, and- the' Herald predicts,
wouldnaugnrate a popular movement
that would dwarf the Granger move
ment into lniignifieauee.
This contest 'for sovereignity . be
tween these corporatidns and the peo
ple Is a serious auxl.'determioed one,
and In our luknii ev versa! of the
doctrine already fefeulsisd try the su
preme eoarf tf ' tie 'United SUtes
would be a &phstt te?taiB. and
circumstance as sliming cs any
thing of the nature that has happened
since the famout Dred Scott decision.
OlOEJttESEnTATION LANDS.
The rwnaiuder of the Otoe and Mis.
souri Indian reservations in Kansas
and Nebraska, comprising about 50,000
acres, will be offered at public sale at
the V. S. laud office at Beatrice, Neb.,
on the COth of May next. Senator-Van
Wyck has, it appears, prevailed on the
secretary of the interior to send' one
of the chiefs of his bureau to Beatrice
to attend personally to this sale, and
this is right. This land cannot ba sold
for. less than its appraised value, and
proof has to be furnished with each
bid that the person purchasing intends
making bona fide settlement ' within
three months from date of purchase.
The land will be sold in 80 acre tracts.
and in no case can more than 160 acres
be sold to any one purchaser. Terms
are one fourth cash within ' three
months from date of purchase, and the
remainder in one, two and three years.
with interest at 5 per cent, per annum.
The government has certainly offered
the settler good terms, and we predict
the sale will be a square transaction.
