The Journal's Wall
The IIei:ai.i subscription list has been
crawling up elaily for several w eeks until
the "petit Journal" could contain itself
no longer, heuce the wail in last e ven
ing's edition.
And in response to the gratuitous st.-ste
ment that the IIesald is exhausting it
self to damage the Journal, we have but
to say that the statement is false in every
particular; the IIerai.i pays cash for its
stock; it pays its men better wages than
the Journal does, and pays them regu
. larly every Saturelay night, not in order
on merchants but in the clean coin of the
realm. The Herald has eleven regular
employees anel five carrier boys all of
whom are well paiel.
Our profits are not lame but tnev a:c
entirely satisfactory to us, although the
Journal may be displeased with them.
The Herald has all alorg been satis-tied
to build up a paper on its merits, and has
not found it necessary to traduce or at
tempt to cry down its contemporary in
order to live and make money for its sol f.
The loss of support on the part of the
' Journal seems to have nettled it anel
last'evenings mess of nonsenfckaj false
hoods arc the result.
Bear in mind Bro. Journal that ilia
Herald is a fctiyer, and doa't let our loss
of money keep you awake of night, we
liave enough left to pay our bills pwwnjrf
ly, and with business in its present cou
ditionwe will have a neat surplus at the
eud of the; year. 1
THE SIXTH SESSION.
Sixth Annual Banquet of the Ne
braska Stato Firemen's
Convention.
Plattsmouth did herself proud in the
reception of the visiting delegation who
came from all parts of the state. The
meeting throughout last night was
enthusiastic. No other organization has
as deep an interest in the welfare and
protection of our towns and cities as do
the firemen. Protection is the paramount
thought with each and every man con
nected with the fire company. The cIihi
nctcr of the men present was visibly por
trayed last night, representing men
among the leaders of our state.
The meeting was calleel to order by
master of toas's, lion. F. K. White.
Juelgc Chapman gave the welcome nel
drcss in fitting language, immediately
following was excellent music by the
Liederkanz band. M. A. Ilartigau re
sponded with a stiring speech entitled
"Volunteer Fire Department," we give
the speech in full below. Song by the
Glee club.
"The Ladies" were discussed by W. II.
Newberry, the well know "Dutch Dude"
of Lincoln. Mr. Newberry handled his
subject familiarly and admirably and
was heartily applauded. Ex Chief J. M.
Butler of Omaha, was called upon and
r.?spondcet"in a clear voice and told his
experience in a fitting way.
"Tliejstata Firemen's Association," ifs
pastjprescut and f ui ure prospect was ably
discusseel by J. C. Clelaud of Ointlia.
Judge A. N. Sullivan gave a pointed and
decisive speech on state tournemcnts
which was highly appreciated by all.
The lire department of ()m ih.i was re
viewed by C'has. Fisher, givisitf carjy ex
periences and adventures in elays une
by.
A bountiful supper was spread eluring
the time of speaking by Messrs. Threlkeld
& Burly, of the Monarch restaurant, who
received much comment on the way in
which they served their splendid repast.
Hon. Frank E. White, to:u.t waster
I realize that upon an occasion of this
kind an address of welcome shoulel be
extended to our distinguished guests,
not feeling able to do it myself I call
upon the Hon. S. M. Chapman to deliver
the address of welcome to the visiting
firemen of Nebraska.
Hon. S. M. Chapman: The Nebraska
State Convention of Firemen: I enly
w ish I was better prepared to cxtcnel the
hospitalities of this growing young city
of Plattsmouth to you gentlemen. We
claim to have a thrifty, thriving and
progressive city here, and I want you to
know that our people nil welcome you
here to this convention of yours, anel
wish the meeting that yon now have may
be a profitable anel pleasant one. I pre
sume there arc a good many of you gen
tlemen that have nev.'r visiteil Platts
mouth before, 1 will not undertake to
j tell you how great a city we have here;
j vou can go to some of our oldest settlers
whose veracity is iiover allowed to be
impeached. I see Mayor Simpson is
here, and ex-Mayor Kichey and a number
of other gentlemen who will tell you we
have a city here of from ten to fifteen
thousand inhabitant!. We have a first
class system of water works with all the
modern improvements. We have let our
paving anel sewerage contract and fur
ther, in the very near future', wc expect
to place our fire department upon a good
strong prosperous basis.
Now then, gentlemen, I want to say
this to you: there is no one appreciates
the fire organization of this country
moro than I do. I bwlieve I know in
fact it represents the best stalwart young
manhood of our young city. I know
something of the fire organization in the
great city of Omaha, and in our sister
city, the second city in the state, Lincoln.
I know that those organizations are com
posed of the very best mateiial. They
are well managed, and that in the still
hour of night when that dread alarm
riugs out every citizen that has property
elepeuds and places his dependence upon
the firemen. I believe I eught to say
that our people anel the people of all
our municipalities appreciate the neces
sity of placing the fire organizations of
this state'upou a proper basu. Wc all
know, in fact we can hardly take up a
daily paper that we do not read of acts
of heroism by the firemen of the coijn
trj equal to the men who fought at Cold
Harbor and Petersburg. Brave men con
stitute the fire organizations of this
country. The life and the prosperity of
our citizens depenes upon their exertions
and it is nothing but right Jhat they
should have compensation for rendering
the service that it cxpecteel of their,
they ought to be well paid and well
equipped f"r tbe great anel perilous du
ties that are imposed upon them. Now
gentlemen I welcome you to our city,
anel say again that I hope you will have
a prosperous anel pleasant meeting here,
and I hope your organization will accom
plish much towarel making the fire or-
gamViiliejii of the state all that you can
wish.
Song by the (-rlee C4ub-
H. B. Dibble, president State Firemen-' s
Association responded to the toast "Our
Visiting Firemen."
The Honorable Major pf the Citj of
'i'HK UA1LV llKKALIi, ) l.ATlSMOinU, tiKiiUAoKA, WKDNKDA V.
Flattsmouth, City Council, and Brother
Firemen: I think you " will find be
fore I am through talking that I am not
in the habit of making speeches.
never attempted it but once in my life
and I will explain that, I think it is
twelve months ago the 19th of the month
I was elected, rather 6urpiUingl v to me,
president of the Nebraska Firemen's As
sociation it was quite an honor to me.
Soon after they elected me president of
so honorable a boely we had a meeting.
The tournament was helel at Kearney and
of course I felt that I should have to
make a few remarks in response to the
welcoming speech of the mayor of Kear
ney. I went to work preparing myself
something like two months previous to
that time. I had my wife to assist me.
I got her up in front of the wall and I
Fpoke to her and she criticisctl, and I
kept it up until she got sick. (Laughter.)
I had overcharged her. I thru called in
a neighbor lady close by, and I went up
to Kearney loadeel for bear. When I
got up there the mayor stepped out and
made a nice little speech of welcome and
I was just about to rise to my feet all
full of eloquence, but the cx-president
Hon. Mr. Clelaiul caught me by the leg
and said: "Will yoir let me make that
speech?" You don't know. You never
will realize it. lie is an abler man than
T, and I just had to sit quietly down and
let him make that speech. Now then, in
regard to Plattsmouth and the fire de
partment of thi3 place I will sav this:
That when I tiibt became acquainted with
them, something like a year ago, they
asked for tiie tournament, and of course
I had passed to and fro along the B. &
M. line and I could just see a little of the
town and it looked to me as it Platts
mouth was a small piato bei-ween he
banks here and it semicd to me as
though it would be foolishness for us to
come here, but you happened to have a
good representative then, and he got up
and sho'wetl very eloquently the kind of
a place you had and i become interested
anel finally t browed in my support, and
1 1 think it was jn the month of June that
I received an invitation to come elav.n
here at the test of the water works and
when I came here everything was thrown
open, sad J went back anel saiel to our
boys: "We ure going to have the finest
meeting that the association ever had."
Now in behalf of the firemen of Nebras
ka, I thank you for your coreliality, anel
will give up.
"THE tCLUXTKEZl FIKE DEPARTMENT."
M. A. Hartigan: It is my eluty now
to respond to the sentiment that to ms is
t he most pleasant, of any that is sug
gested by this assembly, "The Volunteer
Fireman." The volunteer, if youp'ease,
in any character, I elon't care whether, as"
my German friend woulel say "Lanel
wehr,'' or whether it is a volunteer in
battle, the volunteer is in my mind and
it should be, a I b.elieye3 in the mind of
every man, occupying the highest asid
most honorable position of any man in
the public sentiment of any man. (Ap
plause.) "The Volunteer Fireman" that
my frie&da brings back to me a train of
thought. It brings back to jne a sug
gestion. It brings back to my mind anel
to the minds of every man here, a time
a yon remember, many of jou, when
the cpuestion of a paid fire elepartinent
was among the things unknown. You
remember when we hael the best fire ele
partment that the city of New York ever
had was tho volunteer fire department.
The best department Chicago ever had
was the yolunteer fire elepartmeut and to
day it is conceded better than any paid
fire department of the United States.
Yet 'tis not forgotten that the best
work, the best efforts, that the greatest
sacrifices and noblest efforts are made in
the elischarge of high and noble eluty of
the foremost obligations to the public,
are by the volunteer lire, department of
the country. (Applause.)
The volunteer fire elepartinent to 'ay
represents as it needs must represent in
this country in this growing western
community. It represents to you all
that you have in a fire department. It
is true that our metropolitan city of Om
aha and our metropolitan city of Lincoln
have a paid fire department, and I want
to say by the way, that when you want
good discipline of course you have to go
to the paid fire department, and by the
way I want to tell yeu the experience of
a yoluuteer fireman jn visiting but a
short time ago at the metropolis the
Athens of Nebraska- one of the Platts-
mou h volunteer firemen was in the city
of Lincoln and he was talking with the
chief ot the Lincoln fire department
:nd he told him of course what the vol
uuleer firemen clijj down here how they
did it and what they accomplished. The
Chief of the Lincoln fire department said
that in that community they had "elisci
pline right down fine." He saiel "that
every man that is off twenty minuts we
fine him one dollar. Every man that
does so-and-so we fine him one eiollar."
'"Yes," said the Plattsmouth fireman to
the chief of the Lincoln depart
ment, "How in the deal do you
account for your absence from
djtty. Laughter and applause "Oh"
aiel the chief of the Lincoln elepa.-tment,
"I make the lules," so of "course gcntlg-J
men we can't expect the volunteer firemen
to get the question of diseplinc down as
fine and close as the fire department. You
must not expect it and let me tell you
my friends, that when call comes at the
still hour of night, and when men are
called forth to buttle not for the acquisi
tion of property, not for the gaining of
wealth, not for the laying up of thous
ands and millions of dollars to be hoard
ed up but to go forth to protect the
property of others, to go forth to protect
the lives of others, to go forth to give
up their own lives. None have ever been
found equal to the volunteer fire de
partment. Applause.
Morning Session.
The sixth convention of the Firemen's
Association was called to order at the
Leiderkranz hall at 9 o'clock a. m. with
the president in the chair. The secretary
reael the roll of members who had paid
dues nnel were entitled to seats in the
convention. A lengthy discussion ensued
in regarel to delegates elected by proxy
from Kearney, some claiming it to be
against the constitution for them to be
admitted. It was finally decided to give
them a voice in the convention, which
was, no doubt, a Just ruling to the elele
gates from Kearnry. The reports of the
secretary and treasurer were accepted
and referred to the finance committee.
Next the unfinished business was taken
up. Nothing of importance being done,
they adjourneel till afternoon session, the
proceedings of which will appear to
