City Ben IIaurisox and Bob Lincoln would be a presidential ticket of right royal antecedents. Tue Republican Central Committee meets this evening in Omaha, at which time the State Convention to nominate State officers will be called. The greatest speech of all in the tariff discussion was that of Mr. Kas son, of Iowa, one ot the very ablest men in the American congress. Modjeska. plays in Omaha, then sails for Europe. She would think a great deal more of Europe if she played iu this city and then made sail. The 4th of June is very near at hand, and this country and people, as well as the Chicago convention and its distiuguhhed member from Texas, will soon know what we are here for. This is a glorious day lor weather all over Nebraska, and the democrats are holding their session in Lincoln. The weather is the only thing that doesn't go back on Nebraska demo crats. Mayor Smith of this city is in Chi cago; after he meets and confers witli Carter Ilarrison, we-Bhall change the old adage, to wLat did the Mayor of Chicago say to the Mayor of Platts -mouth. To all whom it may concern: Mr. Chas. A. Dana, of the New York Sun, is no longer on the Editorial staff of this paper. Disagreement with the management on great political ques tion?, has necessitated his prompt dis missal. Signed, C. W. Sherman, pro prietor Plattsmouth Journal. The B. & M. machine shops at this city have ordered and are receiving a large lot of new machinery which their present buildings can scarceh accommodate. With a constantly in creased force of workmen, the indus tries here growing steadily acU cer tainly into a magnitude that ensures to the city ot Plattsmouth certain and increased prosperity year by year. Nebraska is young in years, but not in progress and prosperity in every line of work. One of the brightest prospects before the state, lies in the educational prospects and facilities this state enjoys, and aside from public schools and state education, the young and growing colleges for higher educa tion are most noteworthy. - Doane Col lege at Crrfe, the Hastings College, the Baptist Seminary at Gibbon, York College, B Mevue College, and numbers of others, comprise denominational schools in the state that are yearly growing in strength, numbers and in fluence, and are, as they ought to be, a source of pride to to all. Some of the Massachusetts delegates to tbe Republican Convention are out spoken in favor of casting the vote of Massachusetts for Lincoln instead of for Edmunds, on the ground that there is little prospect that E Imunds would be accepted by the West, while ' there is very considerable prospect that Lin colu would be. Mr. Hoar is under stood to f:vor standing by Edmund?, but it is clear that there is very strong opposition to this. One of the dele gates at large said to-day that if Mas sachusetts adhered to her plan for Ed munds, the result might be the nomi nation of ither Arthur or Blaine. : Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, are hero studylug the political situation. Mr. Lodge is undei stood to favor the nomi nation of Robert Lincoln, If it shall seem probable that Edmunds cannot be nominated, Mr. Theodore lioose velf, who was supposed to be a rather enthusiastic Edmonds delegate, has told friends here without reserve to day that he favors the nomination of Lincoln. .: Mr. Blaise's book, or rather the first volume, is in the hands of the peo ple,' and there will be but one verdict, that it is a great book. The reading of the opening chapters not only shows the clear, concise and unbiased state ment of facts, but it opens up at once a new field of historical knowledge in a new light, that only students of the political hietory of this country, as gleaned from a multitude of subiects. Ihaye heretofore looked uoon. Mr. Blaine has gathered it all together, and hy ad reds of well- informed men, stu dents themselves in fact, will find in a clear, concise way, tbe events of our earlier kistory in ourselves presented to tbe world in a manner that the most careless as well as the learned can read with profit. The vust majority of the young uieu cotuiog to the front these days in active life are neither, college graduate nor ignoramuses ; they are graduates of the common schools of the land with a ;;ood, iubstantial . knowledge of events, p&t and present, gained from the text looks of the present and the channels itito which they naturally lead. Wc all know the poverty of these trixt books. For example: Not one of them possesses an account of the acquisition of territory which made a nation f this country instead of colo nies hemmed inT by foreign powers. The histories of the land are all war, rumors o war, and tMs couutry and its relations with other countries. The great eveaU ivolved through the first few administrations that made ns the power we are, are lost sight of, and the common school graduates are left to guess as be3t they may whence came our nation's greatness in itself, and where was the fouutain head. In this field of historical research Mr. Blaiue's book is a monument, where no stake or headboard has marked the place be fore. The territorial greatness of this country and the natural attendant of power comes from the nation itselfthe diplomacy, Judgment and foresight the early national rulers and associate?, aud not from fortune and circumstance, careless and thoughtless, as general be lief has always credited them. Mr. Blaine cpeDS his work with why and whence occurred the first iteps taken by the nation itselt for national great ness, instead . of the barren statement that thus and thus occurred. In this he has opened a new page to "the peru sal of all in this natiou's history, and revealed the true stone of the corner. Without further comment, ifcrfollows that Mr. Blaine's book, in the bauds of thousands of readers, opens up new views and new knowledge of national greatness through fields before uur reap 2d. - The only objection that has been en tered against the demands that go up through this country for a vital living foreign policy, is the plea, that it would endanger the existing peace this coun try now enjoys with foreign powers, and embroil us in internatioual conflicts and dissentions with other powers which would sweep down upon us to humiliate and destroy. This argument at best is imbecile. In this day and among the rival and jealous powers centered in and controling civilization no nation goes to war, desires tojgo to wir, or dares to go te war without a just cause, and a statement of difficul ties that are sanctioned as just, at least by a great number of neighboring gov ernments, ,A mau must have a very timid aiidtperspective view of national affairs who sees a war cloud in the event of a nation of 50,900,000 people adopting and maintaining a vigorous and aggressive policy via the enlarge ment and protection and introduction of. commeice and trade in the marts of the world. This is true in the protec tion of citizens in foreign lands; in the protectioa of States and nations dependent; and in a jealous guardian ship of certain , principles of : right and civilization-which we ought by right to foster and shield. ; - There would be nc war . cloud over this or any other country that holds-intercourse with other nations upon such a platform. J There might be mutter Ings. possibly flashes of sheet lightning, but they would be accompanied with a wholesome respect for the country, and a respect any nation of 50,090,00a pro gressive people is entitled to ; from the vrld st iarge. The trouble with this question sf a foreign policy is in Jhls: that nations, like individuals, when they see the.spportunity to take advan tage of a neighbor, through that neigh bor's laxity, neglect cr stupidity, never fail to do it, and because they do it,' and profit by doing bo, It is no ground or excuse for war or even dissentions If the misused nation rises from its leth argy and reasserts its rights and privi leges. The nations of the world do not rec ognize or countenance sucn reasser tions of right as an excuse or pretext for the nation shorn of its gains taken by advantage over the other, to think war or talk war. There Is no danger to commerce-or trade; tbe danger and distress has been all the other way ; but there everything to gaimn this or any other country where foreign re lations including trade and commerce are abused and misused by adopting a foreign policy, keen pointed and decis ive, that would command at once at tention, respect, and a just reciprocity. OURFISH INTERESTS. We see by the Post,- of Washington, D.' C, that Commissioner W. L. May of this state, was present at the meet ing of the American Fish Cultural As sociation, where important papers were read and a number of distinguished foreign fish culturists elected as corre sponding members. Considering the fact that our fish commissioners arc not paid any remuneration for their ser vices, their zeal in behalf of the inter ests ot Nebraska is, to say the very least, truly commendable. "We observe that Mr. May, at a reception gi ren by President Arthur, complimented Ches ter on his piscatorial successes. We always knew that Mr. May had a soft spot in his democratic heart for every disciple of Walton, without regard to religion or politics. Of the four new bishops elected by the M. E. gen'l conference at Philadel phia, three are" from the west. Dr. Ninde is president of the Garrett Bib lical institute at . Detroit. Dr. Walden is at the head of the western book con cern at Cincinnati, and Dr. Fowler is from Chicago. Dr. Mallalieu is the eastern man, and is a typical New Englander. All are men of hih at tainments and approved abilities. NEW Faruitmr More DEALEK IN PURUITURE 8 COFFINS.
