Mall should be deposited fifteen minutes bc feie the above lime to insure dispatch. Axotuer colored man Hon. John R. Lynch, of Mississippi hat been provid ed with a good office; and it is only .the simple truth to eay that there in't a vrhite Democrat in the State who is better qualified for the duties of any public po sition. Talk of changes in the Cabinet is heard every year and under every Admi nistration when newt grows scarce, There may be somthingor there may be nothing probably the latter in the story as heard now. If there bo any truth in the report that Attorney Gener al Miller is to be put on the Supreme bench to fill the vacansy caused by Stan ley Mathews' death, that tribunal will gain a member who will be able to meet the most exacting requirements of the post. Globe Democrat There are two ways of raising tl.e means with which to build public build ings or carry on internal improvements, viz: First, by a direct tax upon the real estate and secured by voting bonds and securing each year only so much of a tax as is necessary to pay the interest. Our county commissioners have adopted the second plan and hence the people will be called upon to vote for or against bonds bearing 5 interest with which to pay for the construction of a a county court house. One man asks why a direct tax is not preferable to voting bonds. The answer is, that few men whether they are rich or poor would care to pay out cash which is worth 8 to 10,' to them when they can borrow money at 5. Moreover, the dieect tax scheme ia solely in the interest of the rich man who has more money than he knows what to do with. Yet there are but few rich nlen who would prefer to call in some of their securities bearing 109o interest "with which to pay off a debt bearing only 5)'0' The direct tax schema therefore meet neither the approval of the poor man who would be compelled to borrow nor the rich man who has money outstanding bearing a higher rate of interest than 5 SOME SOLID FACTS. COLLECTED OS THE COUNTY C)URT nOCSE BOXD QUESTION BY THE BOARD OF TRADE AND ADDRESSED TO THE VOTERS. Plattsmouth, Neb., May 15, 1S8Q. The county, commissioners of Cuss county having called an election to vote for or against issuing $80,000 twenty year court house bonds, we desire to lay the actual facts before every property owner and voter in the county, relying upon their intelligent consideration of the same in casting their vote at the coming election, June 8th. 1SS9: The total bonded indebtedness of the county u $100,000. These are the rail road bonds, and the interest has beenpaid as it accrued. The principal is due $20, 000 in June of each of the years of l80Cr 91-'.)2-'J3'94. Cash in the sinking fund to pay these bonds is now $50,000, and sufficient cash in the other funds to pay all current expenses. Bo the real indebt edness of the county is only $50,000 at the present time. Total valuation county, 188. $4,743,779. Valuation of Plattsmouth City and Precinct, $1,287,191. Eighty thousand dollars at 5 per cent will cost annually,. , . .$4,000. Nine-tenths of one mill on the total valuation will raise .$4,237. More th in sufficient to pay the interest on the ?onds. The average valuation on eighty aeres of land in the county as shown by the records is aboat $430, so that the owner of eighty acres would have to pay a court house tax of about 40 cents, or less, each year. These figures are based on the 1883 assessment. The valuation will be greater in 188. bf possibly $300,000, and will increase largely each succeeding year. We believe that a new court house should be built, not only for the sake of building the same in our city but for the protection of the records of the county clerk, county treasurer, county register, county judge and the clerk of the dis trict court, in all of which records almost every farmer and land owner in the county is vitally interested.

It must be conceded, of course.that the Democrats have a good chance f elect ing the two Senators and one Represena tive which that State will send to Cong ress this year. The Territory, it is true, chose a Republican Congressional Deleg ate last fall by large Majority, and this gave some hope to the party that as a State it would take place perminently in the Republican colum. In preceding election, howevever, it had usually gone Democratic, and in the selection of dele gates a few days ago to the Convention which is to frame its Constitution it show el that it had not yet decidedly and definitely cut loose from the Democracy. The Democrats fourteen years ago in voting for the admision of Colorado.act ed on the assumption that as a State rit would bo found in the Democratic fold Promises to that effect, indeed, are un derstood to have been mads by Colorado statesmen before the admission act was paged. It has never, however, given an electoral yote to that party. In 187C, when it became a State, its vote gave Hayes the majority of one which he had in the Electoral College. Had Col ratio's admission been delayed until after that year Tilden would have been made Prasi dent, A similar hope of partisam ag grandizement may have influenced some Republicans last winter in voting to ad mit Montana. It is not at all certain, of course, that the Democrats will carry Montana in the election for members of Congress. Par tisan lines were not drawn bo rigidly in the canvass last week as they will be in that which is t take place next fall. Besides that place is in a Republican reg ion, and three out of every four of the immigrants which it will secure will come from Republican localities. All these conditions are in fayor of the Re publicans. But even if it cast its lot per manently with the Democratic States the Republican Congressmen can hardly be censured, as some Republican papers arc now doing, for the voting for its admis sion. Montana must have almost, if not quite by this titne.the 151,000 population which forms the ratio of representation in the House of Represenatives, and the Republicans could hardly have kept it out without showing some of the partis an injustice and tyranny displayed by the Democrats in keeping Dakota in the Territorial stage for so many years when it stood ahead of several of the States in number of inhabitants, intelligence ami piogressivness. Globe Democrat. Jewels and Laces. 'Oh girl with the jewelled fingers. Oh, maid with the laces rare" Vhat are your jewels aud what are laces worth to you? You would give them all if you cosld get back your health. Well you can and you can keep yonr jewels and your'laces too. Thous ands of women know by happy expedi ence that Dr. Peirces Favorite Prescrip tion restores the health. It is a positiye remedy fr those derangements, irregu larities and weaknesses so eorumoo to woman. In fact it is the only medicine for women, sold by all druggists, under a 2)0$itive guarantee, from the manufac turers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been pripted on the bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many yeors. IMPORTANT TO THE CITIZENS. A Traveling; Man Creates Great Ex citement In the Empire House. Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 1S8S. Rheumatic Syrup Co., JacJcson, Mich: GfcKTg; Your Mr. Brooks came here tonight and registered ta egept for Ilib- bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did so it awakened in me an interest neyer before realized in a guest at my bouse. You will not wonder at it when I tell you the story. For years I have been greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu matism, the pain and soreness of the joints at times being almost unbearable; could moye about only with the aid of crutches. In addition to this cjy stomach became badly diseased, and neuralgia set in, which threatened to end my day. A traveling man stopping with me gave quite a history of your Syrup, and the peculiarities cf its combination, which induced me to try it. I hav taken six bottles and no set in my life affords me greater satisfaction than m writing you I am a well man. It will be a pleasure for me to answer any communications, for I believe it to be the best remedy ever formulated. A. S. Bowlet, Pioprietor, Empire House, Independence, Iowa. THE WESTERN MULE. PECULIAFUTIES Or THE BURRO USED IN THE MOUNTAINS. How They Are Ilroken to Tuck Carry-lag-Strange Infatuation for Horses In teresting, Amusing- and Aggravating Characteristics. "A man who has roughed it out among the mountains," it was said at a Broadway sales stable tho other day, "remembers the mules about as well and as long as anything." It is just about at this time, the speak er told, when asked why the mind should bo particularly impressed by the familiar quadruped, that; a good many are round ed up for the summer's work alter being turned out all winter. As natural to ex pect, a mule that has had no restraint for several ' months is inclined to show the worst side when the hand of a would be master begins to be felt. A drove of 100 or so in a corral fresh from the plains will carry jus'; about as much downright "cussedness" as can be found in any brute collection under the Bun. The first thing i3 to have them shod. Such a thing as one of them consenting to the job is unknown, but frontier blacksmiths have no fear or hesitation, and in a trice the mule is 'aed up and ironed. The pack mules are smaller and in ferior in every way to the riding mule, except in tcuehness and rascality. Like Joey Bags took, the packers are Bly. Most of them are sired by Indian ponies and are born on the open plains. A wild horso is gentleness itself beside them, but as they are usually used for carrying packs their wickedness docs not bo much matter. packing the "critter." The firfct time the pack saddles are put on a young mule the excitement sur passes description. The green beast, strong and wiry, i3 lassoed and led into a small open 6pace. Before he knows what it is all about a noose of the lariat around his neck is slipped over his nose; this gives him a shock, as it were, and he makes a start for liberty. But the more ho pulls the tighter the pinch on his nose, to he finally gives it up and stands still. More ropes aro brought into use, and he is finally brought to have a leather binder put over his eyes. The next step is to put the pack saddle on. The great kicking is done when the crupper is slipped under the tail. Words cannot tell the way that mule's heels flash through the air in all directions. But strategy wins and mules do tire. The pulling up of the "sinch," as the girth is called, brings out a new struggle, but it is soon over and to an extent tho mule is conquered. Mules always like company, and work especially well with a horse. With a horso on the lead they will follow steadi ly, ajid keep in the horse's company at night without attempt to wander away. They will even fight among themselves to fret near a horso. At night the rnuleg submit without moving a muscle to hav ing the packs removed. A good roll on the grass is the first thing when relieved, and tnen they go to eating. At any hour of the night, if they are looked at, their noses w'lll be seen on the ground, wit! their jaws industriously in motion. 'Packing" a saddle is an art in itself. In former years the Mexican sawbuck saddle was used. This invariably cut and chafed the mules back; but .jv the California 6tuffed aparejo is the thing. This is fastened by two men, ono o:i cither side, who brace themselves i one foot against the mule's ribs and pull on the lash rope with all their might, The oad is balanced properly, and the lasU rope twisted and looped in a sort of network. When all is ready for the final tightening the men "give it to her." The poor mule actually groans under the pressure, but even under this tightest of tying the loads quite frequently slip out ot piuue. A CONTINUAL REVELATION. The mountain mule is a continual revelation. New phases of character are continually unfolding in the most posi tive manner. One, for instance, will be amiable and pleasant until led up to be saddled, when all at once he will appar ently be possessed of the evil spirit itself, Another will resist all attempts to saddle and pack until the others have ' been attended to, when he will be as docile as could bo wished for. Another, perhaps used for riding, will not let a match be lighted by any one on his back without an outbreak, but will not object to smok ing. Some will wade through a stream without hesitation, and another wilj vigorously object to wetting his feet. When in the water, if one falls down and any water gets into his big ears, he will lie and drown without a struggle. They are very private and particular about their ears, objecting fo having them handled. It is not easy to gain a mule's confi dence. They are absurdly timid, and if one of a drove is scared the rest are also panic stricken. An old black log always makes a mule shy. Snakes terriry and bears paralyze them. On the plains no spurring or whipping can drive a mule up to an Indian. Take a number of piules and throw their reins over some of the others' ears and they will etanc all day in the belief that they are se curely tied. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Forest Restoration. " Systematic planting on a national scale mus wait, and will be sure to wait, until the little remnant of our forests shall be administered economically, and at such a profit on costs of exportation as will justify the outlay required to cover costs of replanting, but meantime millions pf acres of denuded forest land may be preserved from the destruction pf its soil by fire, or its erosion by water, for the trifling cost of collecting and flattering the seed over their surface. The winds and the birds annually redeem thousands of acres in this way, and we need only open our eyes to the import ance of their labors to realize how much may be done in the same way by systemat ic, intelligent eirt.
