It is about time for .Nebraska
to report another murder case.
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.
