republican victory in Nebraaka like this,
"The republican ticket carries the state I and effectually, "The saloon must

by this they must mean they ore sadly

it says, "Field beats Sawyer for judge of
the second district by a pitiful scratch.
This shows the good judgment of the
democratic voters.
LIGHTNING FLASHES.
From Golden Hays.
Every one is familiar with the fact that
li"htninir does not swing direct from
cloud to cloud or to the earth, but pur
sues a ziirzair course. This is due to the
fact that the air is not equally humid

Sterling nce upon a time said, "A
judge I'll make," and he picked out
Sawyer us the man to take the cake.
Sawyer was a man of gold, money-bags
had he, and our Sterling saw at once
he'd fill the boys with glee. Twelve per

of old, many a comfort to these wights,

certain democrats of this city who re
fused to swallow the entire democratic
ticket and work zealously for it. It is
with some democrats, not a misdemeanor,
but a high crime, if any other fellow
democrat has the manhood to step out
side the party lines and work for and
vote the republican ticket. It is worse
than anarchy, it is treason itself, accord
ing to the tenets ami belief of" the hide
bound democrat. Mr. Rauen, who had
been shamefully treated by the democrat:

said he did not propose to support Un
democratic nominees again, and on Tues
day he was but carrying out the rcsolu
tions that he had formed two years be
fore; and the talk about his selling out
is more rot of the worst form, to which
the Journal has long been addicted.
It seems that the vote of the B. & M.
shops, which on Tuesday last assisted
materially in making the fourth ward re
publican, is a terrible thing in the eyes
of some of the democrats of this city.
Wlnle democratic section g fore

loud report, which is echoed and re-ech
oed among the clouds.
The report reaching the ear of the lis
tener from varying distances is drawn
out into a series, and, being still further"
prolonged by the echoes, the roll of
thunder is produced.
It is a curious fact that, altough thr
sound of thunder is exceedingly loud

cumscribed. The noise of a cannonade
will be heard, under favorable conditions,
at a distance of nearly 100 miles, whil
the sound of thunder does not travel
over fifteen miles.
The occurence of the thunder and of
the lightning is, of course, simultaneous;
but as light travels faster than sound the
flash may be seen several seconds before
the sound is heard. The distance of
thunder may thus be approximately esti
mated, an interval of five seconds between
the flash and the thunder-clap being al
lowed to each mile.
Sheet lightning has the appearance of
a sheet of flame momentarily illuminating

down on that bloody day, Sawyer saw
the blood stained Field, wrenched from

that he had wrought on that Field so
red. So the judge that Sterling made,
was not made at all, and Field rode
proudly into conrt against our Sterling's
gull. Now at evening Sterling sits near
his pond of fish, and sits and smiles a
ghastly smile as he eats of crow his dish.

The cheapness of the land around Plattsmouth and its nearness to Omaha markets together with
good railroad facilities, make it not only a pleasant place to reside, but a desirable place for the establish

To healthy, legitimate manufactoring enterprises, the citizens ot Plattsmouth would doubtless mako
reasonable inducements to secure tlfeir location, and correspondence is solicited.
While real estate values are growing firmer each day, yet there is nothing .cp 'dilutive or fictitious

crats that such was the case. However.
when the tables are turned, and republi
can foremen in the B. & M. shops use
their influence to get out a good republi
can vote, or to cause democrats to scratch
a part of their ticket, then it is all wrong
and, according to fhe Journal, is a very
shameful thing. The facts are that the
foremen in the B. & 31. shops have never
yet attempted to bulldose or insist cn
any man voting anything other - than his
honest sentiments, and the further fact J
that Mr. Greusel, on election day, re-

"P UT OUT THE FIRE. "
Prohibition aims at a thing, not a man.
It would smite a traffic, not a personal
indulgence; annihilate grog-shops, not
invade homes See how this works in
other matters. A mob is a bad thing.
Prohibition says, "Kepress it. But to
repress it, it may be necessary to sieze
private property and destroy life; never
theless, the mob is what prohibition is
after, not the life and property. A con- I
flagration is a bad thing. Prohibition
says, "Stop ;t." But to "stop it" may
require seizure and destruction of proper
ty in the path of the fire; nevertheless,
the fire is what prohibition is after, not
the propcrtv. A contagious disease is a
bad thing. Prohibition says, "Fence it
in; the house must be quarantined." But
that's an interference with personal liber
ty. So the saloon is a bad thing. Pro
hibition says, "Abolish it." But to abolish
it, it may necessary to interfere with some
termincs our fate. If Christianity has no
power to 6ave Christendom, where is our
hope? With what face, then can we go
