A BAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Patriotic Speech of Judge John J.
Sullivan at Columbus.
Mk. Chairman and (Jknti.kmkn ok
the Convention: I have no words
with which to adequately express the
sense of gratitude and obligation I feel
for the generous treatment 1 have re
ceived at your hands. Tonight, more
than ever hefore, am I Impressed with
the conviction that It Is, after all, even
from the low standpoint of ex pi'dieru-y,
worth while for a public servant to be
steadfastly faithful In the execution
of his trust. The action of this con
vention, and the populist convention
at (irand Island are expressions of
commendation and approval thatalTord
me the keenest satisfact ion. I am fully
conscious of my own imperfections and
shortcomings, and I realize that if
charity were not an element in your
judgment my judicial record would
hardly pass muster. I brought to the
bench neither wide experience nor
broad scholarship, and I lay no special
stress upon my industry, but the one
thing of real value that I did bring to
the discharge of my duties-the thing
above all others that has contributed
to whatever measure of success 1 have
achieved was independence, alisolute
judicial inde(endeiice.
UK.MAIN A KKKK MAN
I went onto the bench a free man.
and if 1 continue there I shall remain
a free man. llavingatiiotimedesired
a re-nomination or re-election it has,
of course, involved no strain upon vir
tue to hew steadily to the line, giving
uo thought or heed to the flight and
fall of the chips.
Our method of choosing the judiciary
is, it seems to me, an unfortunate one.
icography and partisanship have abso
lutely nothing to do with the adminis
tration of the law and yet, strange as
It may seem, absurd as it is, tliesc are
determinating considerations in the
nomination and election of judges.
Whatever may Ih the character of a
judge, whether he be weak or strong,
he ought to he under no temptation to
count the political cousequence of his
decisions. He ought not to feel that
his destiny is in the hands of stout
Warwicks who make and unmake pos
tulants for public favor, who manipu
late party convent ions and procure m
litical results. Courts will never be
come ideal aibiters, they will never
enjoy full popular confidence, until
judicial fiber becomes tinner than it is
at present, or until a change in our vic
ious system of selecting the judiciary
is in some way brought atmut. It is
impossible to overestimate the impor
tance of the work submitted to the
supreme court. It is engaged not only
in the business of deciding controver
sies between citizens, but it is molding
the jurisprudence of a state that will
in the near future rank among the
foremost commonwealths of the re
public. To sit in the highest judgment seat
is indeed a great honor, but with the
honor goes great responsibility. The
reputation of the state is to a large ex
tent in tlie hands of its courts. Every
civilized community is judged by the
character of its institutions, and this
community will be judged, in some de
gree, by the character of the judiciary
which it is willing to accept.
to a moil level.
1 have never been well convinced of
my own titness for judicial service, and
as 1 said before, I have had no wish to
continue on the bench. Nevertheless,
I have concluded to abide by your de
cision and accept itsconsequences. If
eleeted as my ow n successor, it shall be
my constant and earnest endeavor to
raise the character and reputation of
the supreme court to a higher level,
and to make it altogether worthy of a
distinguished tar and an enlightened
people.
The candiiate of the republican
party Is my personal friend. He is a
worthy and generous rival, and I be
speak for him at your hands, fair and
courteous treatment. Let the cam
paign be conducted on a high plane, in
a temperate spirit, ami in accordance
with the humane doctrine that a man
dues not forfeit his civil rights and be
come an outlaw by running for ortiee.
The contest this year is important,
but not vital. We must not get ex
cited; we can afford to keep cool.
Whatever happens, ttte state will sur
vive and the democratic party, is, of
course, indestructible. There is in
this state a large body of square-headed
men. These men are not much
swayed by mere sentiment. They un
derstand that in a judicial campaign
an appeal to party loyalty Js nothing
else than dap-doodle and clap-trap. In
their own good time, between now and
election, they will think the matter
over and if tliey are satisfied with the
supreme court as at present constitu
ted, it is not improbable that they will
conclude, regardless of politics, to let
well enough alone. If we deserve to
win the chances are we will win.
I, for one, have faith in the people.
Whatever they do I shall not murmur.
Even though they slay my opponent,
still will 1 trust them. A little healthy
optimism will dousall good.
Special Notice.
During the following season my cider
mill will be in operation on Wednesday
and Thursday of each week only.

"Cinderella In Flowerland."
This Is the title of play put on the
Parmele Theatre Tuesday night for
the tenelit of the Presbyterian church
and Miss Clara Street, the latter as
suming management of the whole bus
m3. The little folks, and especially
those who took the principal parts, act
ed them remarkably well, and while in
this respect the entertainment was
a grand success. It cannot le consider
ed so from a financial standpoint, at
least not so much as the prime movers
fondly anticipated. Miss Clara flreen
deserves great credit for her masterly
efforts in drilling the little people, who
were perfect In all the parts in which
she manifested an interest. Mrs. C. S.
Johnson and Mrs. A 1. G ass, who also
manifested great interest in the little
actors, are to Ik commended, for their
efforts were noted in every act, and by
every one present. Miss Louise Smith
had charge of the musical part of the
program and it is unnecessary to re
mark that she deinostrated her usual
great skill throughout the entire per
formance. To all these ladies more
credit is due for the success of the en
tertainment than wedesire to express.
Mrs. eo. K. IXovcy is arranging for
a similar entertainment in the near
future, and the mere announcement
that it w ill tie under her management,
is sunicient to assure the people that
it will le lirst-class in every respect.
Judge Chapman at Nebraska City.
Judge S. M. Chapman, of this city,
recently addressed the old settlers of
Otoe county at Nebraska City, and the
News of that city, in speaking of his
address, says: "Judge Chapman, in his
address before the Old Settlers' asso
ciation at Morton park gave expression
to some remarks that aie worthy of
consideration. He spoke of the im
portance of home and its influence;
then dwelt upon individuality, and
lastly upon independence. He said
that political parties were necessary
because of the difference in opinion
among the people, but the time had
passed w hen a man should vote for a
lot of candidate simply liecause the
ticket was labeled with the name of
the party with which he was a (filiated.
It was now necessary to vote for hon
est men men who would faithfully en
force the laws and give strict account
ing of their stewardship. The News
agrees with Mr. Chapman and we be
lieve that the people each year are be
i.ig bound less tightly by party ties.
The independent voter will cause both
parties to nominate their best men for
otticeand hold them to a strict account
ability." The democrats of Cass coun
ty have placed hefore the people a
ticket that commends itself to the in
dependent voters of the county, and
as between the two tickets, many of
these independents have already signi
fied their intention of supporting most
of the democratic candidates.
A Hobo In Limbo.
Sheriff Melt ride went to South Bend
Monday and brought back a tramp,
charged w ith an attempt to break into
the house of John IJerge. After being
arrested the "hobo" was placed in a
small building for safe keepiug until
the sheriff arrived, but managed to
escape. After a "merry chase," how
ever, by some of the citizens, he was
recaptured. On Tuesday he was tak
en before Judge Archer, where he gave
his name as John A. Chambers. The
prisoner, by the advice of his attorney,
I. K. Ilarr, waived examination. The
judge placed his bond at $500, and in
default of which he was taken back to
jail. It is said that young man is a
bright looking fellow, and no doubt has
a good father and mother somewhere,
who are worrying as to the where
abouts of their missing son.
His Goods Coming In.
William Holly, for many years in the
employ of Ken Elson, in the capacity
of clerk, is arranging to open a new
clothing and gents' furpishing house
in the east room of the Waterman
block. He returned Monday evening
from a trip to Chicago, where had been
to purchase his stock, and someiof the
goods arrived the fore part of the week.
His stock will consist of mens' and
boys' furnishing goods, slioes, etc. Mr.
Holly expects to be ready for business
in a very few days, and the Journal be
speaks for him a successful business
from the start.
Fearful Odds Against Him.
Bed-ridden, alone and destitute.
Such, in brief was the condition of an
old soldier by the name of J.J. Havens,
Versailles, Ohio. For years he was
troubled with Kidney disease and
neither doctors nor medicines gave
him relief. At length he tried
Electric Bitters. It put him on his
feet in short order and now he testifies

covery." Best on earth for Liver and

Q. A. R. Reunion at Louisville.
- On account of inclement weather
the four days' reunion, scheduled to
come off at Louisville last week was
not the success It would have been had
fair weather prevailed. The heavy
rains early in the week caused the
Platte river to get on a ramage, and
as a result the grounds were quite
muddy. However, the hustling spirit
of the citizens of the town showed it
self, and the lest was made of it that
was possible under the adverse circum
stances. There were several baloon
ascensions, plenty of music.recitations,
speeches, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Richie, of
Lincoln, added to the amusement of
all by their witty dialogues, recitations
and repartee. The band secured for
the occasion was from Kennard, Neb.,
In the northern party of the state.
Kennard has been the home of the
ring candidate forcounty superintend
ent until less than a year ago, and we
presume that it was through his in
fluence that an outside band was em
ployed. The largest crowd attended on Fri
day. Among those who made speeches
on the different days were Dr. Whar
ton, of Lincoln, Ilev. Father Hennes
sey, of Manley, Hon. John Speedie, of
Benson, Superintendent C. S. Wort
man, of Plattsmouth and Congressman
Burkett, of Lincoln, who represents
this, the first congressional district.
The speech made by the congressman
was a humorous one on "The New
Woman."
All who attended the reunion came
away with a feeling of gladness that
they had been there, and words of
praise for the management for the ef
forts put forth which, despite bad
weather, culminated in success.
A Tribute to Old Veterans.
Superintendent C. S. Wortman was
called on for an off-hand speech at the
G. A. II. reunion at Louisville last Fri
day and, from all accounts,deliveredan
address filled with eloquence and good
sound sense. He paid a beautiful trib
ute to the t attle-scarred veterans of
the civil war which he denominated
the greatest war of all times and said
that by their valor, devotion and he
roism, the stars and stripes were made
so pure and glorious that the very air
of heaven was made sacred where the
old flag lloats. He spoke also of the ad
vance and progress in other fields than
war, and instanced the fact that, with
in a few weeks, President Roosevelt
received a message sent round the
world in just twelve minutes after be
ing . dispatched by the president's
friend who sat in the same room. This
speech of Superintendent Wortman is
but another demonstration that he is
a man of ability and brains. The wri
ter has known Mr. Wortman only a
short time, but each month has caused
us to admire not only his ability and
titness for the office he now holds, but
bis modest manly qualities as well.
Let every man in Cass county interest
ed in the continued welfare of our
schools, only do his duty and put school
interests above partyism, and get his
neighbor to do likewise, and Superin
tendent Wortman will have 1000 ma
jority. Clarence English Hatched.
Clarence English, the champion
featherweight boxer of the middle
west, of Omaha, is now matched for a
twenty round bout with Dick Green,
of Sioux City, to be pulled off in or
near that city on the 13th of this
month. They are to fight at 135 pounds
ringside, for 75 and 25 per cent of the
gate money and a side bet of $250.00.
English is now in training at River
side and Green will make his head
quarters at Green's gymnasium, in
Sioux City. Patsey Magner, English's
present manager, is endeavoring to
make a match with Benny Yanger, to
take place in the near future. It will
be remembered that English fought
Yanger a few months ago at Kansas
City, and while the referee decided in
favor of Yanger, a majority of those
present at the bout say that it should
have been a draw.
Jacob Tritsch.
. The democratic candidate for coun
ty commissioner, Mr. Jacob Tritsch,
was in the city Tuesday, and made a
short call at the Journal office. Dur
ing the past week he attended the G.
A. R. re-union at Louisville, and visit
ed other sections of the county, and
feels highly gratified with the encour
agement he is receiving throughout
the county. Jacob Tritsch is one
among the substantial farmers of this
county, and should receive the united
support of that class.
A Pleasant visit.
Mr. and Mrs. George E. Dovey and
daughter Elizabeth and son Charles,
returned from their eastern visit Mon
day morning. During their absence
they visited New York, Boston and
other important cities, and several of
the pleasure resorts. The greatest
portion of the time they were with
their daughters, Misses Alice and
Ethel, now members of the "Miss Bob
White" operacompany. They return
ed home much pleased with their out
ing, and also much benefitted by their
sojourn in the east.

last in the ufternoon at Elicth's gar

was altogether of Wagner's composi
tion, and was grand. Madame Mayo
Rhodes, solo singer, while she was
cheered to the sky by the audience, I
did not admire her singing, and say I
can find better lady singers in Platts
mouth, who do not claim the title of
Prima Donna. The house was crowd
ed both below aud up-stairs.
I was agreeably surprised at the con
cert to meet a foimer Plattsmouth
lady friend, Mrs. Hay ward (formerly
Mrs. MatPottinger) and husband, who
had just arrived from a visit to Salt
Lake City. They will move to Lincoln
soon.
I have seen the sights of Denver rid
ing on a street car, but a person cannot
get much satisfaction, so I took a walk
the other day witli a relative through
the principal part of the city, and I
was well paid for my tiresome walk of
four hours duration. We first visited
the state house, a grand building from
the outside, built altogether of rock,
at a cost or $3,000,000. While the ap
pearance of the building from the out
side is grand, the inside is by far the
grandest I have ever seen. The mus
eum is very interesting. One article
of interest to the eyes of sight-seers is
a lump of solid silver ore, two feet long
and six inches deep. The value of this
piece of silver ore is said to be $800.
It was presented to the state by a mine
owner and is just the same as it was
dug out of the mine.
The postoffice, a large and costly
building, is said to be getting too small
and tlte government will soon be ob
liged to either build a new and larger
one or enlarge the present building.
The U. S. Mint building is nearly
finished, and is built of rock of a yel
lowish color. It is a grand structure.
I also saw a great many churches, all
built of rock, and some of them very
large and imposing.
The Catholics have thirteen church
es, and every on? of them have large,
school houses, with Sisters as teachers.
The finest one.mong them is the Ger
man St. Elizabeth church. Besides
the churches the Catholics have two
hospitals and a very large and' fine
Orphan Home, besides other public
institutions I have seen, and- it is im
possible for me to describe them all.
I have seen several funerals here,
and will say to Ed Fitzgerald, the car
riages for the mourners are all alike,
very fine, with men drivers, wearing
Prince Albert coats, either blue or
black, with stove-pipe hats on their
heads. They make a good appearance
at a funeral.
What pleases me here is, the city
furnishes water on each side of the
street in gutters close to the pave
ments. This is done for the benefit of
the many trees. No wonder the shade
trees look so fine and healthy.
I miss the telephone here. The
charges are $5,00 per m snth, and lim
ited to only fifty calls per month. If
over that it costs seven cents for every
call over this number. In consequence
but few phones are used in private
families.

Death of Henry C. Grimes.
The Journal stated last week that
the above-named gentleman was very
low snd that his life was despaired of.
The deceased lingered until Sunday,
September 30, when he expired at 3
p. m. Seven or eight years ago, the de
ceased was attackedjwith a severe par
alytic stroke, which rendered ihim en
tirely unfit to perform his duties as an
active, energetic business man. While
unable to perform any sort of labor,
during these seven or eight years most
of the time he was able to go about,
and with an elastic, step that denoted
his previous active career. For twenty-five
years he held a position as trav
eling salesman for the firm of II. C
Fisher & Co., wholesale dealers in cof
fees, teas, etc. Mr. Grimes was with
this firm previous to its removal from
St. Joseph, Mo., to Chicago. Before
entering the employ of this firm, the
deceased was for a number of years en
gaged in business in both Arton and
Ottumwa, Iowa. Mr. Grimes has been
a resident of Plattsmouth for twenty
three years, removing his family here
In 1880.
Henry C. Grimes was born in Ran
dolph county, Missouri, and on the 4th
day of February last was 71 years of
of age. The funeral occurred Tuesday,
at 10 a m. Ilev. II. B. Burgess of the
Episcopal church, conducted the
services. Besides a wife, he leaves
four grown children E. F. Grimes, of
Omaha; Mrs. Sarah T.Smith and Mrs;
Isabel Richey, of this city, and Charles
D. Grimes, of Anthony, Kansas. The
latter was unable to attend the funer.
al on account of his serious illness.

Experiences a Wreck
Dr. J. S. Livingston, of Plattsmouth,
Neb., is visiting the Hills and was a
passenger on the Spearfish train that
was wrecked near Plurna Monday
morning. The doctor was looking out
of the window when lie felt the train
slow up and he then saw the engine men
jump and run across the gulch. Then
he knew that something was about to
happen and as he could not get out, he
braced himself for the shock that was
not long in coming. The passenger
train had come to a full stop and the
speed of the freight had been greatly
checked, but notwithstanding this, the
two engines came together with a ter
ri lie crash and those passengers who
were not prepared for it were badly
jarred and bruised by the shock. The
doctor has traveled a great deal but
being in a wreck was a novel experience
for him and one that he does not care
care to repeat. Central City (S. D.)
