The Democratic victory in Ohio is,
without a doubt in our mind, attrib
utable to the fact that the Republican
party of that State took strong
grounds in favor of temperauce and
prohibition. It Is very little gratifi
cation for us to say "we were defeated
in a good cause."
The party ought not to be defeated
by assuming positionsor attitudes im
practicable aud impolitic, in advance
of the ideas and wishes of the masses.
Tr. cshnnlil nlwnvs ba readv to carry
out aud execute the will of the people,
but never take, a step so far ahead of
the popular will on any measure as to
suffer defeat. A temperance reform,
nor any other moral or political reform
can be forced on the people, but they
may be educated to progressive move
ments. The Republican party Is the
only real party of progress and reform
and when it takes untenable positions,
renders itself so obnoxious or unpopu
lar as to suffer defeat, then it commits
a great wrong upon humanity and re
tards political and moral reformation,
by placing tho reins of political power
in the hands of avowed enemies of
cherished and long sought reform
ations. Now what has the Republi
cans of Ohio gnlned by taking prohi
bition grounds? What has the tem
perauce cause or any other good cause
gained by It. TJiey have lost much,
because power is now in the hands of
positive anti-temperance free whisky
men, who. were elected on that issue,
and owe the foes of temperance for
their offical positions.
Had the Republicans taken a
reasonable middle position between
the fanatics and ultraists on the tem
perance question, defeat would have
been avoided ami something done for
the cause, but by ultralsm, urged up
on the party by temperance fanatls,
everything was lost and more than
lost.

It la a noticeable fact that many east
em capitalists are turnin'g tlieir
attention to Nebraska and the west
generally in which to invest. In
terest in the east is small, and money
lo loan not In demand. State Jour
nal. It would be a vastly more noticeable
fact If there were a general modifica
tion or improvement made in Nebras
ka's collection, stay and exemption
laws. Those laws as they now appear
on our statute books do more to keep
capitalists and capital out of Nebras
ka than auything else. Fair and
equitable laws which will protect all,
capital and labor, is what Nebraska
demauds now and will no doubt re
ceive the early and, profound atten
tion of the legislature at Hb next ses
sion. Missouri does certainly contain
some of the coolest and most impu
dent devils that ever "cracked a crib"
or cut a throat. A special telegram
to the St. Joe Herald states that at
Cameron, Mo., on the 24th inst., be
tween 7 aud 8 o'clock p. m., while
the passenger were at supper, six
robbers boarded the train on the Rock
Island road, overpowered C. Nichol
son, the baggage master left in charge
of the train while the rest of tho
crew were atsupper, and ran the train
about two miles north, audi failing in
their attempt to break open tho ex
press safe they stopped the train,
jumped off and ran to the woods.
The baggage master took the train
back to Cameron within thirty min
utes after it left, and fortunately no
real damage was done, as the robbers
we presume, lacked time.
Later reports say they robbed the
baggage and express cars.
The Beatrico Express Is becoming
too hot on the U. S. Senate question.
Its exceeding anxiety for Gov. Tad
dack is not helping that gentleman's
chances to any great extent. The
la3t week's issue of that paper refers
to Gen. Thayer as the "common en
emy" of Dundy, Atkiuson. Furnas,
etc., and urges a united effort of all
those interests to defeat the "common
enemy." Now we cannot seriously
say that Geu. Thayer is our first, or
any other choice, for Senator, but we
most assuredly do not consider him
an enemy to our interests in this part
of the State, and further believe he
would most excellently represent the
whole State of Nebraska in the U. S.
Senate. lie did so on a former oc
casion, ana why should he not do so
again were he again elevated to that
high and honorable position ? We
have tho highest respect for Gen.
Thayer, estimating his worth and
merit by his civil and military rec
ords, and his exemplar conduct in
private life, and it grates harshly on
our feelings, to hear so worthy a man
spoken of as
That's all.

u
An eastern commercial paper, com
menting ou the large wheat crop thro'
qut this country and Europe this year
arrives at the following very reason
able conclusion ;
The facts and probabilities are of
serious moment to us. ' The prospect
is that the profits of Western farmers
this" year will be small indeed, and
while the result will be to the people
at large an abundance of cheap bread
we cannot help regretting that a new
opportunity will be given to the po
litical agitators in the Western States.
There is a serious lesson in the situa
tion in which they will speedily find
themselves. Their industry is too
much concentrated in one kind of
production, and should be diversified.
As long as they depend upon the con
currence of two chances the chance
that their own harvest will be a good
one, and tho chance that orops will
turn out poorly in England and on
the continent of Europe, they can
have but precarious and uncertain
profits.

PROSPECTIVE.
The Lowell Register has been glanc
ing over the situation, and after sum
ming up the Republican strength of
the Legislature elect, supposes as fol
lows :
Ordinarily, this would seem a very
llattering state of things. But, sup
pose tne ivepuoiiuan caucus snouiu
split on candidates for the U. S. Sen
ate. Then the Democracy could dic
tate which Republican shall be elect
e'.!. Already we hear it whispered
t-uit one of the candidates has been
promised Democratic support, in such
ajj emergency"; aifd if f uis'be true, he
mid his friends will bo strongly tempt
ed to bring about such an emergency
if posaible.
Now, whatever slse may or may not
happen, we trtat the Republicans
will never allow the enemy thus to
dictate in their matters. We trust,
too. that whatever Republican candi
date so much as squints towards such
alliauce with the enemy will be trot
ted out of the ring on the double
quick. We would far rather support
a straight-our Bourbon than such a
recreant.
Nor are we particularly desirous of
any alliance with or help from the In
dependents. Church Howe delibe
rately and ostentatiously read himself
out of the Republican party. Let
him stay out! Nemaha will just as
quickly wheel into the ranks, and
will bo in far better condition. Let
Church Howe lie on the bed he has
chosen without any regrets or sym
pathy.
The Register, Is, without doubt,
right upon this matter. The Repub
licans of the Legislature, to sustain
organization and carry out the will of
the party, Bhould submit to the choice
of a majority In caucus. Of course
this is the only proper way to do
the only way to choose a Senator In
dependent of the dictations of all op
ponents to the Republican party. It
is hoped this course will be pursued,
and that no coalition with the enemy
will be entered into. We speak only
that which we wish and hope, not
what we believe and expect. At the
Senatorial election in 1871 a precedent
was set tbat we believe will be follow
ed in the selection of a Senator the
coming winter. There will be a hand
ful of Democrats and a half a hand
ful of Independents, Impatient to do
anything on an independentline, and
will be eager to sell out to the Repub
lican ring that will pay them best,
and be most likely to "remember
their friends" In the distribution of
patronage. With thfse side-show
factions with thir manifestly inde
pendent airs and signs out "to let,"
there will be those ready who will
readily take them at Vmail prices off
the market, and thus avail themselves
of a probable balanoe of power, and
thus defeat a Republican majority.
The New York correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican last Sunday
went to hear Beecher at Plymouth
Church. We extract tho following
tangible idea from a letter he wrote
about it:
Beecher's sermon was good, and had
plenty of regular theology and proper
doctrine in it, but tho congregation
drifted dully along qii the allusions to
the Saviour, but pricked up their ears
when the orator lit on a twig of that
tree of discord that still flourishes
over in Brooklyn. Dr. Holland says a
reign of infidelity and unbelief Is ap
proaching. It has already approach
ed it is even here. If the Apostle
Paul was installed to-morrow he'd
proach to empty benches, unless it
was proved lie had been turned out of
heaven for flirting with Jephtha's
daughter, or Hannah Moore, or some
other Bible woman. The really de
votional people were those who went
chestnutting. and, amid tho ennob
ling influences of mighty trees, the
dim dreaminjr of the great impend
ing change that the fallen autumn
leaves waken in all thinking souls,
lost thoughts of bonnets, brides aud
Becchers.
With regard to the pardon of We
ber, about which the Omaha Herald
is making such a fuss, the State Jour

petition we publish to-day, from Col.
J. W. Savage, late Democratic candi
date for Congress. Henry Nicodemus

presented her spouse with a bouncing
boy. Instead of being proud of hav
ing a eon so soon, the husband wanted
to know, "who's been here since I
been gone?" and the wife charged it
all to the pastoral visits of Rev. J. A.
Culver, of Iowa Centre. An investi

the case okDr. Swing, who, it will be
remembered, was arraigned several
months ago by Dr. Patton for heresy
before a subordinate Synod, which
sustained Dr. Swing. The action of
this Synod was on an appeal of Dr.

Tho Washington Republic says tho
Western Democrats are going crazy
over their temporary" successes, and
if rope enough rope is given them
they will hang themselves long before
1876. They will find that the rest of
the country is not disposed to see the
credit of tho nation ruined by their
wild repudiation schemes.
No laws are to be studied to learn
human rights; they are written on
the brow and in the heart of every
man as he comes from thehand of his
Maker,
That this la a white man's country,
that no negro shall be taught that
slavery is the properstatiou of the ne
gro, are the propositions unearthed
from the ante-war period.
The rebellion would have ended in
half the time but for the stimulant it
received from Northern traitors.
Louisiana, late the theatre of inter
necine strife, owes' its blood-stained
parishes and cities to factious Demo
crats. It Is difficult to realize that an in
surgent mob, as in the case of New
Orleans, can so mistake the temper of
the people of the United States as to
attempt the expedients of Mexico in
our territory.
Before the war there was no such
thing as free discussion at the South ;
there was no peace in all the slave
section for any Northern man who
dared to entertain and express senti
ments in favor of freedom; all such
were hanged or driven out of the
country.

probably by accident, from tho print-

This is a blunder that Otoe county

This is a maliciou", unmitigated
falsehood. The Journal states things
that it does not know anything about
when it makes such statements as the
above. Overy ticket in Otoe county,
printed In this office, had Mr. Lore's
name on. Why ho was defeated is a
mystery to us. Nebraska City Press.
' The above item from the Journal
led us to make comments last week
which were unjust to the republicans
of Otoe, and we desire this, our re
traction, to be aa broad as any charges
we made touching the matter.
General Thayer Is spoken of as a
probable candidate for "United States
Senator, and judging from the Inter
est manifested in him by the Omaha
Herald we rather guess that Dr. Mil
ler prefers him to any other man In
the State.
Gen. Thayer Is one of the early set
tlers of Nebraska, having resided In
and about Omaha for the past fifteen
or twenty years, and his known
friendship for that city and the Union
Paolflc railroad has Won for him the
admiration of every citizen in that
portion of Nebraska.
Should, the General consent to al
low his name to go before the legisla
ture for the office of United States
Senator, it would ease the minds of
many of his friends, and settle the
"hash" with a lot of others who are
expecting to be "forced" in the field
contrary to their known wishes.

The painful announcement in your
paper of the death of Mr. W. J. San
ger, calls forth an expression of sor
rowful r,egret, at the unexpected early
close of a life so full of promise. Jlr.
Sanger formerly, of New York, but
for a short time a resident of Brown
ville, was well known to us as a young
man of superior mind and fair intel
lectual attainments, naturally joyous
and unselfish in his disposition, cour
teous and obliging to all, he had many
admirers and warm friends, and bade
fair to ri6, to distinction in the future.
But "death loves a, shining mark,"
a brilliant career is ended, the strug
gles and scenes of a fitful life are now
hushed in the peaceful-final sleep
which knows no waking. In the
morniug of life, filled with the hopes
of youth and strength, his sun has
gone down into the night "in which
no man can work."
With the sorrowing; bereaved moth
er of whom he often talked, we
mourn for the son of so many prayers,
knowing, his highest aim and fondest
dream to be a desire to be to her an
honor in years to come.

RAILROAD 3IEETIXG
To-day we had the honor and pleas
ure of mingling with a number of the
representative men of Otoe, Cass and
Douglas counties, who convened at
the Merchants Bank, there to consid
er the propriety, feasibility and tona
bility of throwing an iron arm from
Nebraska City to Omaha, thus clinch
ing the Trunk railroad or Midland
Extension to the several roads center
ing at and converging from the met
ropolis of the State. Quite a number
were present from Otoe county, all of
whom expressed themselves as in fa
vor of the project.
Mr. White, of Cass county, said that
his county had voted $130,000 to this
railroad, which subsidy Douglas and
Cass county gentlemen propose secur
ing by getting the road bed ready for
ties and iron from Omaha to the Otoe
county line by June next, provided
Otoe county would pledge itself to
meet them at the Cass county line by
the same time. But eight miles sep
arates Nebraska City from the Cass
connty border. Two milea however
of the route lies through a rocky and
hilly region, and it is estimated that
fully $5,000 per mile, cash, will be re
quired to make the bed ready for ties.
The representatives of Otoe county,
therefore met those from Cass and
Douglas by saying that they would
go home and work in favor of Issuing
$60,000 in eight per cent, bonds, Dr.
Converse, mean time, pledging to
have the distance between Nebraska
City and Omaha spanned by iron
rails and the iron horse prancing over
it with trains of cars clattering at Its
heela by September 1st, 1S75, If the
pledged faith were kept.
We have written so much on this
subject, i. e. the Trunk R. R., that we
fear our friends and patrons will ap
prehend that we are growing luny on
the subject, but at the risk we iterate
and reiterate that this thoroughfare,
when completed, will do more to ad
vertise and develop Nebraska than
any other ever espoused or advocated.
It will divert the line of travel from
Mifeouri and Iowa to tha Nebraska
side of the Missouri river, and pass
through the identical region f coun
try in which Adam and Eve were
first reminded bv the sun light that
they 'didn't have their clothes on. We
have resided there and "know how it
Is ourseJf."
We havo long been a friend of the
Trunk R. R., and speak by the card
when we Bay that it will be built, and
that speedily. The company, i. e.
the Midland Pacifio R. R. Co., will
not build it to develop the State, nor
to achieve credit for public spirit, but
to foster their own interests, and be
ing sagacious business men they see
that this thoroughfare will pay from
the beginning.
But we fear we are growing prosy.
In conclusion let us give a compara
tive table of distances figures cannot
lie. We could, dut won't We there
fore edge up to figures and. herewith
present them ;

The above figures speak for them
selves, and demonstrate that when
the Trunk B. K. is completed St.
Louis will be thirty miles nearer to
us than it is to-day, and we all want
to get aa near to the "Puke City" as
possible. We predict that Otoe coun
ty will clasp hands with Cass and
Douglas counties, and united open up
an avenue through which new life
and abundant capital will flow in
upon us. Lincoln Blade.
