"The Memphis Appeal" in a sudden
burst of eloquence and idiocy, mingled
in about equal proportions, mounts the
stump and waves the bloody shirt in the
following emphatic manner:

Calhoun, by which he defined its limita

It must come, if truth and justice are to

The idea of the old secession dectrin
of Calhoun being again resurected in this
country is enough to make a patriotic
man hold his nose while the Memphis

But such breaks as the Memphis paper
has been guilty of, demonstrates what j
few northern democrats arc prone to be- j

firmer grip npon the hcaits and minds of

OURJUDICIAL TICKET.
Tin: democratic press of this district,
will from this day until Nov. 8th, hiaist
on Sawysr's election as district judge in
Allen Field's place, basing their request
to republicans to turn over a judgeship
to Mr. Sawyer on the ground that it is a
very pretty thing to have a non-partisan
judiciary so called when the demaera-
cy are in the minority.
Were the democracy in the majority in
this district, nothing but a straight dem
ocratic ticket would be tolerated, but,
being in the minoiity the sweet strains of
non-piii tisan muic will be piped on the
man Sawyer's account from this on till
election day. Personally Tnto Heu.vi.d
has no attack to make upon Sir. Sawyer
further than that he is a democrat and
has been a chronic oflice seeker ever siuce
he settled in Nebraska. He is, we are
told, a fair average lawyer and a pheasant
man yet plastic in the hands of the small
politian. lfeisnotas strong a man as
Allen Field nor as broad a lawyer, and
would not make as aide a iudge. How
ever, placing the two men on a par as to
standing and ability, what good reason is
there for any republican to desert, his
ticket and vote for Sawyer? It can't be
done honestly on non-partisan grounds,
for Mr. Sawyer is running, and he is the
only man who is running for the oflice of
district judge, on a purely partisan plat
form. The denioracy of this district
would have observed the non-partisan
idea and would not have nominated si
judicial ticket had it not been for Mr
Sawyer, who walked into the democrat
ic judicial convention at Lincoln and in
his speech, accepting the nomination,
stated specifically and with great partic
ularity that he did not want the office,
but that, he accepted it purely as a dem
ocrat to keep the party organization up,
for said he, "the time may come Vtrt
soon in this (7 in tr tat when the democrats
will be able to elect jud'jes and then it
is our duty to do so." This is the man
w ho is running on a non-partisan dodge
and w -nts to steal enough votes from
republicans to occupy a seat on the bench
as a democrat.
But the most serious charge made
against Mr. Sawyer is that he is a tleino-
gogue, who rides any hobby for o;rtce.
He masquei ads as a strict democrat with
democrats; as a Van Wyck republican
with Van AVyck republicans! as a prohi
bitionist with prohibitionists, and stands
in with the saloon elements when it is to
ins interest to ilo so, always receiving
its support in Lincoln. In other words
his lightning rod is always hoisted and
from its barbs the single motto may be
always discribed, "Sawyer!" "Sawyer!"
"Sawyer!"
Alien t tela is a strait-iorward man
whose worth will be attested by the vote
he will receive in Lincoln and Lancaster
county ou Tuesday week and we want
our readers to remember that Tuk Her
ald speaks by the law when it promises
the voters of this district 1200 majority
for Allen Field in Lancaster county on
Nov. 8.
A Large Hotly of Soldlern Cannot Move
Over Twelve of fifteen Allies u luy
Tho I'nuvoldable Causes of Successive
Halts.
It may at first seem strange that a lly of
troops cannot move, even under tho liest of
coiitiitioi's, over twelvo or fifteen miles a
clay, when a man can easily walk, if ho is
anything of a walker, from twenty-fivo u
thirty rnilvs a day. It only retpuLres, how
ever, n li tlio experience, to prove tho figures
above given, though they may lo arrived at
j liy calculation. A coniiiny of infantry mov
ing in miumu 01 iours, tne usual marcning ior
mation, takes up about SJ yards of depth,
A regiment of ten companies will roquiro
IliiO yards, a company of cavalry about 100
ynrds, and a battalion of four companies
alxiut 4.00 yards. A six gun battery of field
artillery in column of sections, and accom
panied with tho usual baggage, requires
alxiut .!") yards. From these figures wo cal
culate the length of a column moving on a
single roa-1. An infantry brigade of four
regiments will take up exclusive of baggago
1 ,:S;"iO j-ards. Tho baggage, including ammu
nition, will require nine six mule wagons to
each regimont. Each wagon with its team
requires twenty yards depth, and for tho en
tiro brigade tho depth will bo over 700 yards.
Add this to 1,350 yards, and wo have nearly
2,100 yarJj, or a milo and a quarter for tho
depth of tho column. If wo allow but throo
regiments to tho brigade, we cau reduce tho
depth to about 1,000 yards. For tho baggago
belonging to different headquarters we must
allow a depth of 200 yards.
Now, coming to a division of infantry, wo
have but to multiply tho foregoing total by
tho number of brigades in the division. But
when wo take up an army corps, wo have to
inako calculations for artillery and cavalry,
extra baggage and supply trains. Suppose
wo take as a maximum figure an army corps
composed all told of 42,000 men. It has four,
divisions of infantry, eight to twelvo bat
teries, and at least four regiments of cavalry.
YVcro it ablo to march close up, on a singlo
road with all its trains, including reservo
supplies, it would stretch out, at tho least
calculation, about eighteen miles. But it is
impossible for a column of this longth to keep
from stretching, or "lengthening out," as it
is technically termed, and so the best author
ities make an allowance of 25 er cent.,
which, added to the eighteen miles, makes
twenty-two and one-half miles, or a distance
which would tako a mounted messenger
moving from tho head of the column to tho
rear, if ho made good speed and met with no
obstruction, at least three hours to make, or
moving from the rear to the head, nearly
half a day.
WHAT OES. M'CLELLAJT SAID.
Gen. McClellan, in one of his reports, says:
"If I had marched tho entire army, 100,000
men, in one column, instead of ou five differ
ent roads, tho column, with its trains, would
have stretched out fifty miles." In tho
Franco-Prussian war it was found that a
Prussian army corps of 42,512 men, 90 guns,
13,800 horses and 1,300 vehicles took up on
a single road twenty-seven miles, eighteen
miles occupied by the troops and nino miles
by the trains.
If roads were all broad enough and in good
condition, columns could march with a far
greater front, and the depth bo vastly re
duced. But in this country, at least, thero
are few roads where there is room for a col
umn of greater width than a set of fours to
move and leave sufficient spaco for the unim
peded progress of orderlies and staff officers,
or for vehicles which have to go in an oppo
site direction. Jfc may bo asked why tho col
umn cannot bo kept closed up, why it has to
lengthen out? Sometimes a wagon breaks
down. It is haulod to ono sida for re
pairs and the others pas3 on. But
to haul it to on& side consumes some
time, mayhap only a few moments, and a
few moments again when repaired to re
enter the column. Tho consequence is a halt
of everything in the rear. Neither men nor
horses can be marched steadily without a halt
aui I rest every hour, and a halt at tho head
of the column, or in resuming the march,
occasions loss of timo to all regiments iu rear,
which cannot halt or start at once, but must
do so successively.
Again, perhaps, a bridge has to bo crossed,
and time is lost by tho breaking of step, or,
perhaps, tho chango of formation. Perhaps
the stream has to bo forded, or somo obstacle
is met with in tho road. It must be remem
bered that, in addition to the actual distauco
accomplished in marehing, many other things
are required of the soldier. He has to go on
guard or picket, ho is sent out perhaps as a
flanker on tho march, or arriving at camp ho
has to collect fuel and water; moreover, ho
carries a heavy load, his kit, gun, ammuni
tion and day s rations, averaging from fifty
to sixty pounds. So that perhaps were wo
ablo to calculate all t'hat he has done, we
should find he bos expended as much strength
as would tako the ordinary pedestrian over
twenty-fivo to thirty miles of road. "W. It.

If, as Gen. Jackson, of Georgia, who
was chosen by President Cleveland to
represant this nation in an important
foreign mission, declared in his speech
at Macon Ga., if "slavery was the
gentlest and by far the most civilizing
and humanizing relationship ever borne
by labor to capital," then the true pur
pose of the south must be to again put
labor in the relation of slavery. If the
south does not design to reduce labor to
slavery then it is false to its own con
victions of duty. For there are at least
5,000,000 of laborers of black skin in
the states of the solid democratic south.
Xot being slaves, they are, according to
Gen, Jackson's statement of the belief of
the south, deprived of the blessings
which would result from again being re
duced to "the gentlest and by far the
most civilizing and humanizing relation
ship ever borne by labor to capital."
Such reasoning then requires the south
as the supreme end of its dealing with
the great question of labor, as the dom
inating force of a great political party
now in possession of the national govern
ment, to strive to put labor in the relation
of slavery. Do the laboring men of the
north flatter themselves that they know
the true belief and purpose of the solid
democratic south" better than Gen.
