Tiu: editor f this paper will an nounce hero and no.v that he htur.il.s for decency and letter government, and that so long as he is editor of any paper he will fearlessly ar.d to t he lu st of his ability adocate such. Any newspaper, which lacks the couragp, self-respect, ami moral character to stand for civic decency, is a canker on society, and is us loathsome as leprosy and as danger ous as anarchy. 5- t John Bauer, Plaflsmouth, Neb.

POLLARD'S BACKBONE.
