A WARNING TO LAW-BREAKERS.
An Act to Punish the Clving Pro
vocation for Assault."
Ry request of many respectful, quiet,
peacable, and law-abiding citizens we
publish an act from the statute of Ne
braska, presuming that there are many,
and perhaps most of the people who are
unfamiliar with the law in this particular
We quote from chapter IV, section 17, of
the crimial code, which reads as follows:
Provoking Assault That any person
who shall intentionally provoke, or at
tempt to provoke an assault upon him
self or another hv tUa ntr;n,. ,. c
j -""'"o gross
ly yile and insulting epithets applied to
the assaulting party, or one so tempted
to commit an assault, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall upon
conviction thereof, be fined in any sum
not exceeding ten (10) dollars, or be
imprisoned in the
- ' J j uui. tAtulu-
ing ten days." V
The same law or a similar one also ap
plies to .'profanity, loud and boisterous
vulgarity, c C.ig and swearing upon
the streets or in public is a statutory
crime, punishable by fine or imprison
mnent, or both, at the discretion of the
court. The Herald is informed that if
there is not a change for the better in re
gard to profanity and rowdyism upon
our streets Jthere will be speedy action
taken and telling examples made to the
shame and disgrace of disrespectful law
breakers. ,
A Warning.
I wish to warn all parties who have
been in the habit of going: in swimming
within the city limits, as I will, from
this date, arrest any I find.

given at the Waterman opera house last
night, fully reached and surpassed the
anticipations of many as an enthusiastic
and socal event. Many of the promt
neut speaker.? whose names were on the
programme forwarded their regrets yes
terday, stating their inability to be pres
ent. Letters of I egret from Gen. Hen
Harrison and other lenders of the re-pub
lican party were read by Hon. R. Ii.
Windham, and each, though their writers
were hundreds of miles distant, lent en
thusiasm to the assemblage and brought
forth applause when strong Jphrases of
encouragement were heard, each bearing
a word exhibiting the assurance that the
republican party would be successful in
the coming campaigh, and eacJi giving a
word of encouragement to the Young
Men's Republican club of Pluttsmouth
Several enthusiastic republicans from a
distance put in an appearance and made
their presence known in rendering valu
able assistance in various ways.
Although seyeral of the speakers who
had been counted on most were absent,
yet the others who were present did jus
tice to their subject.?.
As the space of the paper would not
allow the publication of each speech,
and a? only a couple of them had been
convei ted into manuscript, we regret very
much our inability to publish them,
The club of Nebraska City composed
of about thirty members, accompaned by
a band from that city arrived in time to
fall in line with the procession which
was men iorming in tiont of the opera
house.
About one hundred and fifty lights
were carried in the procession, which
present-id, a their bearers marched along
and turned, a very fine scene.
The Ii. fc M. band rendered .i number

well-cultured style, after which they
located themselves on the stage and dur
ing the time the audience was satisfying
by the bountiful repast, entertained them
admirably.
The decorations as arrranged rellect
credit on the following gentlemen on
decorations: Messrs. Sig. Green, L. E.
Skinner, M. D. Polk, D. B, Smith, Dr. E.
W. Cook, J. A. Davies and R. L. Keister.
The arrangement and display of good
taste in blending the streamers which
reached across the auditory of the opera
house, could not be surpassed. A large
flag, the nation's emblem, reached across
the stage .bearing a placard "Our Ban
danas." The portraits of several of the
prominent presidents adorned the walls.
The Plattsmouth Glee Club was called
upon and responded by singing "The
Horse-shoe which brought forth good
applause, after which Mr. John A. Davies,
president of the Young Men's Republi
can club, delivered au eloquent and
suitable address of welcome, which ap

Hon R. Ii. Windham then read the let

have space to publish.
The next toast beiug "The Republican

sponded to by Judge S. B. Pound, of
Lincoln, in an able speech.
The Glee Club was then called upon
tor the "Irish Emigrant," which thev
rendered in a praiseworthy style, being
encored, singing for an encore "The
Buccaneer's Bride."
The next toast on the programme was
Nebraska to the Front." and
sponded to by Mayor W. J. Broatch, of
Omaha.
Hon. J. B. Strode, of Lincoln answered
to the next toast, "A Free Ballot, Honest
Count and Equal Representation," in an
able speech.
"Republican Principles" next appeared
on the programme, but as Hon. O. Tefft.
of Avoca, could not be present, it was
omitted.
Hon. J. C. Watson, of Nebraska City,
was loudly applauded during his speech
on the "Presidential Nominees of 1SS8."
The next toast was "Protection to
Home Industries,"
E?rA,."erican II0es and American trade.
We'll Draw our Btiarpept Political niade.
This toast was responded to by Rev. J,
G. Taite, of Shelton. His speech was
I tilled with sparkling points and consid
erable enthusiasm. The subject which
handled seemed very familiar to him, and
the manner in which he executed it,
showed that he was a man of experience
and understood his subject thoroughly
Ha gave good illustrations why the ad
vocates of free trade should Jnot have
possession of the country. He remem
bered the time when free Ttrade ruled,
stating that Jat that time iron rails were
imported for from $100 to $120 per ton
and now the price seldom ever exceeds
$40. At that time the foreign industries
would ship the rails in at a high price

and banner and that the democrats had
taken Cleveland, Thurman and the ban

The democrats now want to take the

After Mr. Taite had completed his
speech, Mr. W. A. Derrick was then
called on for a solo, and responded by
singing ."Rocked in the Cradle of the

"Peculiarities of Groyer Clsveland,
Ills .Men and J lis Administration was
the subject selected for Hon. Johu Y
Stone, of Council Bluffs. The subject
was well handled by that gentleman who
was loudly applauded all through his
excellent f-peech.
Hon. E, Rosewater, of the lice, Omaha
"The Republican Press:" Hon. G. M.
Lambertson, Lincoln "Tim Fallacies of
the Administration"; Col. W. P. Hep
bum, Clarinda, la., "The Solid South."
The above gentlemen treated their sub
jects well, although they were obliged to
cut their speeches short, owing to the
lateness of the hour preventing them
from giving themselves the satisfaction
they deserved.
As Gov. Thayer, of Lincoln could not
be present, Judge S. Chapman mede a
short speech taking as his subject, "The
G. A. It.," but as his speech came in on
the programme before Col. Hepburn's, he
cut it short in order that that fentle-
n
man might have more time.
On a whole, the event reflects great
credit to the city of Plattsmouth and the
republican club.

Hidden among the pines and ham
mocks of a southern land is a spring of
water around which lingers a beautiful
legend. Tiiis spring is still pointed out
to the way-faring pilgrim as the identi
cal fountain in search of which Ponca de
L.eou came noiu the old world to the
new, believing it would ir.ipa.t immor
tal youth to all who should drink of its
waters.
Many years afterwards a small body of
God-fearing men went in search of an
other spring whose waters would impart
immortal love of country to all who
might drink thereof. Totight we invite

with honest toil and Gods sunshine have
made this Great -American Desert bloom
and blossom like the rose, between that
party and its statutes which recognize no
aristocracy but the aristocracy of genuine
merit and manhood, I repeat it, that
democrats may talk about curtains tlivid
ing the past from the present but between
the republican party and its past, there is
no curtain. And I would that no cur
tain may ever fall between the American
people md the history of a party which
is the history of the nations preservation
in war and the preservation of the na
tions industries in peace. I would that
the light of the lamp of experience
might mingle with the light of present
knowledge insuring to the people "Peace
within their walls, Prosperity within their
Palaces."
u nat is me value ol history it we
ar to forget the past. We do not recall
to mind the crimes and horrors of a
French Revolution because we desire to
keep alive the unpleasant memories of
that hour.but because we would not forget
the historical lessons taught by a nation
which once sought to absolve itself from
those precedents and traditions which arc
inseparably associated with a patriotic
love of country, we recall the history of
a nation which ence wrote upon its
escutcheon "Let u- forget the past." The
christain mother teaches her chiid.-er. ;Jje
story of Christ's betrayal by Judas and
His elenial by Peter, not that she wishes
to arouse sectional feeling among the po
litical decendauis of Judas and Peter
but that she would have her children
grow up to manhood and womanhood
with the knowledge and belief that
loyalty is right and that treason id
wrong.
What is the value of history? It is
that the present may profit by the past.

once more hiw tho nation need of energy

party whose triumphs have always proved
triumphs oyer all that is best and noblest
in Americanism ence more confronts us
at the polls. It seeks in its blind folly
to tear down those barriers with which
the wise leaders of republicanism guarilcd
our growing industries against ruinous
competition with the pauper labor of
Europe. Enriched, with the ipoil of

It was under the leadership of these men

Where are these qualities better developed

To me gentlemen it seems impossible that
republicanism should fail in this elecisi ve
struggle for the nations good. We must
