MR. V ANuKKBIir supt-ona urover
Clee'aa J. The great monopolist evi
dently know which tide the butier
spread on. "A fellow J'eeiiug makes u&
wondrous kind."
The democrats are now piping up to
whistle for courage's sake. Ohio and
Wisconsin will go democratic says the
Omaha Herald; and they will, just
about as much as Nebraka will. Such
whistling shows the distress of the
whistlers verv plainly.
The Omaha Herld says that Gov.
Hendricks is a man who embodies in
his own personality and puMic life the
character o: a true American. This is
about thj standard upon which the
Omaha Herald measures the best
American character: By man, who
in war Vra3 a copper head, and who leut
moral support to the enemies of his
country; that roan was Tom lleadricks.
Mk. Cleveland's letter of accept
ance has arrived in the rear of Ben.
Butlers. The letter is meritorious in
brevity, aiyl in the additional fact that
a statesman, presumably Samuel J. Til-
den, did the greater part of the work
so far as the contents of the paper are
concerned, prople will look upon it
with a degree vt indifference, for dem
ocratic professions are easy to make,
and are made to order, to suit all dis
senters to the work and
policy of the
republican party.
Ben. Butler is out with a letter of
acceptance so long that even the Chica
go r apers hesitate about publishing it.
Ti e letter, while largely of the stump
speech order, is pointed enough in its
reference to the democratic party of to
day, and their misstatements and in- j
consistencies, to make interesting read
ing for them. Mr. Butler's letter is
based upon the following four geueral
propositions :
1. Hostility to all monopolies ii
commerce, industries and lands.
2. The preservation of the national
lfg-il tender currency of the peol?,
constitutionally issued by Congress.
3. The needs of all men aod women
who labor iu tl'e production of wealth
to be protected against the encroach
ments of those who absorb and consume
without producing,
4. The necessity for reform and cor
rection of abuses iu government, so
that its pressure on the people would
be made as light as possible; its admin
istration effective to guard the rights
of American citizens at home and
abroad; to make public servants, iudi
vidaal or incorporate, subservient to the
use and will of the people only, so as to
restore the prosperity of the country,
with equal rights, equal burdens, equal
powers and equal privileges of all peo
ple. ,
Mr. Cleveland in his letter cf ac
ceptance says not a word concerning
the greatest question that divides the
two great parlies of today. The pro
tection oiour industries. This may be
easily explained however, for the dem
ocratic party itselt so befuddled and
neutralized (his question in their na
tional platform that no man can stand
upon that platform with any knowl
edge of what it does mean on the tariff
question, and the man is yet to be born
who can translate that tariff plank into
an honest, outspoken opinion upon that
really vital question to the American
people. Mr. Cleveland therefore left that
question eutirely aloue, aud if h docs
notmuke the misU M, nancock
made later -a campaign jn trying to
explain the tariff, he will save himself
humiliation. Mr. Cleveland, in his let
ter, discourses in glittering phrases
upon the labor question, end he docs
this in the face of the fact that
to every bill passed in the New
York legislature since he has been
Governor, and that were passed for the
amelioration of labor, be has attached
to them his veto.
Ilia professions of care and the fost
ering of labor, sent out in the face of
the fact that he has been the constant
tool of the monopolists, is very refresh
ing reading. His practice bince Gov
ernor of the state gives the lie direct to
his professions, and the laboring class
es through the country are intelligent
enoagh and wide awake enough to rec
ognize this fact.
NEBRASKA. AS IT WAS AND IS
it is believed that over all this yast
region once rested an immense lake
compared to which Lake Supejior is a
mere pond. Over the bottom of thi
lake were spread through the ages la
crusti:.c deposits of soil from five to
two hundred fvot deep. A small area
on the uc:th r-Me of the state seems to
have etntrtd first, for the soil Is en
tirely Kf,w ! mm it. But it must have
betn h! (' t irit a tropic i.-lc of mar
velous IsiK Hinr ce vgi tu!!e a"d mii-
mnl )if-.
In tlx- hardened c!av of its low hills
are to be found vust numbers of foesi
animals that have no existence ouiside
the tropics. Heie were immense uuni
bers ot rhmoceri, horned and hornless,
auiue wun two norns, some with one.
and others with none. Here ranged
the hippopotami and vast herds of car
nivorous animals; here are found pet
rified turtles, one specimen, perfectly
preserved, being seven feet across.
There are several species of fossil
monkeyB.
"It requires qut little imagination,"
sajs Bishop Warren, "to cover the re
gion of the mouth of the Niobrara
with abundant forests, through which
meandered great rivere, full of the
iugest animals, while above them chut
;red the monkey, and flaw the gor
geous bird of paradise."
Afterward the surrounding country.
covered with the richest soil, rose
above the wafers; the climate grew
more severe, and the tropical animals
and birds gave place to those of a colder
clime.
One race of men lived here and dis
ppeared ; another took thesr place,
but they have passed away, leaving but
lttle trace; a third, now known as Id
ian, luxuriated in the meat of the
buffalo, but thpy are nearly as extinct
as the two races that have sunk be
neath those waves of land, "unwept, un
honored and unsung."
It seems to be a hard ' matter for men
to conquer this continent. Whether
the sourth race ha gathered strength
enough from allying all kindreds and
bloods under the whole heavens for its
conquest, is yet to be seen in the com
ing centuries.
The part now called Nebraska, is
two hundred by four hundred miles in
extent, and contains forty eight mil
lion acres. On the east flows the Mis
souri river; irregularly through its
whole letigth, flows the Platte river,
receiving all its tributaries from the
north si :c.
The state has a slightly undulating
surface, and has so rich a soil, that
after-crops have been removed for thir
ty years from some places. It shows
no sign of needing fertilization, nor
will it show such need till the one hun
dred and fifty feet of soil has been
turned into wheat or other crops. The
soil most nearly resembles that of the
Nile valley, in Egypt. It is perfectly
prodigal in the production of fruit.
The state has twice teen awerded the
highest premium of the United States
Pomologies! society, and thereby been
debarred from competing again. One
pplehas been grown that weighed
twenty rJ.Uo and ono half ounces, and
one man raisud in a year 14,000 bushels
of peaches.
The state whs admitted into tl.o
union in 18G7. All the early inahabit
anta came into Nebraska In the so
called prairie tchooners a covered
wagon containing all the family and
their earthly effects. Finding laud to
suit, they first erected a house of sods,
with places cut for a door and window,
which made them a comfortable abode.
Many happy homes were hung with
tapvstry of figured muslin, and white
washed on ie outside for a very tri
fli,, coat. Philadelphia Saturday
