The Lincoln Spy denies being In
favor of Jeff Davi3 for President in
1876, and hoists the name of Govern
or Hendricks, of Indiana, for that po
sition. That's too thin.
The St. Louis Democrat thinks It Is
strange that an Indiana Democrat
should object to Voohees on the
ground that "Daniel has been known
to take that which did not belong to
him." Things have come to a pretty
pass in the party of Tweed when a
man is objected to on that account.
Such unkind threats at salary-grabbers
9Ught to be left to Republicans.
The Nebraska Cit Chronicle skins
back its contemptible charges against
Dr. Stewart in the" following manner:
"We may have been misinformed
as to the facts, but we stated no more
than seemed to be just at the time. If
It's any consolation to the Dr. and hlB
friends we will admit that our infor
mation may not have been altogether
reliable.
Whilst the unprovoked attack of
the Chronicle did not damage the Dr.
to any alarming extent, the retraction
will no doubt make our cotemporary
feel better. He can realize again that
"An open oonfessiou Is good for the
soul."
A very sensible artldle in the
Springfield Journal, Is headed "Hard
Money Hard Times" they go to
gether at present. The article closes
thus :
The results of the late eleollon were
but the cry of despair of taxed, bur
dened, poor people, who, In their des
olation and want, turned and struck
the party in power as being responsi
ble for their accumulating wants. Let
our Republican rulers take !psons,
not only from the results of the re
cent elections, but from history, and
remember, that the schemes of the
hard money contraction ists in Eng
land, from 1S24 to 1830, ruined the
middle olasses of her people, produc
ed bread riots and untold miseries of
her laboring population, aud brought
about the Revolution of 1832.
We want a man for Senator who
will have regard for the whole people
of the State, and not for a few politi
cal friends. We have had enough of
this give us a "new deal." Lincoln
Spy.
That is right, everg word. Every-
JiSmV)odv wants iuat what th Xnu wnnrs
Fand a "new deal" we are bound to
have, but nobody ever thought of
re-electing Tipton, we presume, and
If suoh a galoot lives he certainly
would be ashamed to own It. But
the Spy doesn't say all It thinks, or
hopes for. In addition to "give us a
new deal" it means also "give us a
Democrat." No you don't, you cun
ning little Spy, you, we couldn't think
of that. You remind us of the little
ppider that Invited the uqsuspectlng
fly to walk in and spy its place of
abode. The Republican party in Ne
braska is not trfly-'by'any means, but
the balance, of the comparison is
good.
The Kansas City New tells a Btory
of a daring act of villainy which re
cently occurred in that city. The
story amounts to this : Samuel Jar
boe, a prominent citizen, and his wife
were awakened about 12 o'clock at
night by a man leaning over the bed
trying to withdraw their sleeping
child, a little boy six years old, from
between his fathes aud mother, with
the evident intent of kidnaping him.
The father did not awake until the
vlllian had pulled the ohild and its
mothar from the bed, she of course
holding on to her child with desper
ation. The rogue had administered
chloroform to the parents, but was too
eager for his prey to await its perfect
operation, which, however, very near
ly overcome the father. Ho aroused
just In time to savo his little boy and
get a shot at the miscreant who was
so Intent upon stealing him. He es
caped however. Let parents be cau
tioned to take every possible care of
their Interesting children. Child
stealing is getting to be a common
crime.
The Dallas Herald gives an account
of the sad misfortune that happened
to an Aurora, III., man down in Tex
as. Leonard Grobar was a plain,
hard-working German, who having
saved up a few hundred dollars in
money, went to Texas to buy some
land aud then emigrate with his fam
ily thereto. Stopping at Dallas a few
days his business became known,
"When a robber, undenthe-gulse of be
ing a laud deale'rrtook him in a bug
gy, us he supposed, to show him laud.
After they had got out into the coun
try, in a secluded place In the woods,
the robber jumped out, when at the
same time two other robbers sprung
up out of the brush, with pistols pre
sented, and taking poor, unfortunate
Grobar from the buggy, they beat him
nearly to death, because he resisted as
well as he could their efforts to rob
him, robbed him of $290.00 every
cent- he had his silver watch, and
then-left him wounded, bleeding and
unconsoious lying uppiu tuo ground.
He"wJI! recover from his harts. The
Herald' asks the. benevolent of the
city to glue hlm.aufiJelent money to
take him back to. his home ot Aurora,
to his wife aud'children.
THE CtJttREXCY QUKSTYON.
If the present financial embarrass
ment, says the Inter-Ocean, and
which we heartily endorse, is the re
sult of governmental management of
the currency, the Republican party is
responsible for it. If there was a
method by which Congress could
have saved "nearly every industry
and enterprise" from the prostration
under which they now languish, the
Republican party is responsible for
failure to adopt that method. And It
behooves the Republican party to in
quire whether there is a method
which, beinc adopted, will revive tne
stagnant industries of the country.
The Republican party knew how to i
rescue the country from trie ciuwjnes .
of rebellion; it must find a way to j
rescue It from the paralysis wincn nas
fallen upon its trade and commerce.
The claim that no party can be held
responsible for the industrial calami
ties wbioh come in the course of its
control of affairs Is preposterous. The
party in power is Invariably so held,
and nothing saps party foundations
as "hard times." Every man whose
business suffers to-day holds the Re
publican party responsible for his
misfortunes. It was this accumula
tion of business misfortunes which
caused the late Republican defeat.
Democratic successes on the 3rd of
November were the elap-in-the-face
dealt by bankrupts and the hosts who
stand on the verge of bankruptcy. If
the Republican party has no remedy
to offer for universal stagnation in bu
siness, it may as well look out foroth
er and greater defeats. Of one thing
in this connection Eastern newspa
pers should be warned, namely, that
to attempt the resumption of specie
payments is to court ruin. The Press
would have the Republican party in
Congress force the experiment cf spe
cie resumption, regardless of results,
because the Ia3t national convention
nromised It. This wild proposition
well illustrates the lengths to whicli
hard money theorists are prepared to
go in pursuit of an impossibility.
Rather than abandon a hobby, tney
would have the Republican party
dash itself in pieces against a solid
wall of adverse public opinion. The
Republican party has never yet as
sumed to name a day on which spe
cie payments shall be resumed. The
day of specie payments ha3 been
postponed by recent events. The
postponement may as well be consid
ered as indefinite, for there aro other
matters which require the attention
of the party in power, which, to neg
lect, Is to court defeat.

-Spy.
The Spy apparently does not enjoy
our notice to any great extent. What
part of that little notice touched your
tender spot, Mr. Spy? Is not every
word of it true? We think so. The
Spy would not deny, certainly, that it
is "copperhead politically," or that It
is printed on Sunday, or that it is
small. It may, possibly, object to be
ing called a "dirty sheet." We can't
help it, however, for we still think as
we did at first. We do not mean that
it is not mechanically and typograph
ically well enough In appearance, but
its pages contain so much old fogy po
litical bosh and claptrap, and bitter
and unfounded assaults upon the Re
publican party and the Administra
tion, that we regard it as a dirty little
sheet. The editor says he has given
us little cause for our "kind" notice.
He gave us sufficient cause in his first
number, and by what we learned of
his style of political ecrlbbllug thro'
the Omaha Herald, whose accepted
correspondent ho is, or used to be.
Any man who can get down to writ
ing stuff that will suit the degraded
style of G. L. Miller is not the man

Brake says he will do something "be

indicated above, we do not doubt that
Brake is well qualified to render him
self very obnoxious and deserving of
frequent castigations.

destitute in Nebraska and Kansas.
We called on the Mayor of Philadel

her hands to give, the needy and suf

famed munificence. The national
reputation of the men above named,
insures a prompt and effective move
in our behalf.

take up room devoted to ,the Dr.'s
"stables and tables," it commits an
egregious blunder. The fact that the

An article on the local page of the
Omaha Repulican is headed "A des
perado killed." The deparado was a
man named Tom Keeler, of Elkhorn ;
the man who killed him was Dan S.
Parmalee of Omaha. An enmity had
long existed between the two men.
Keeler is described as truly a very bad
man, and generally eared by his
neighbors and those with whom he
came in oontact. He always went
heavily armed usually carrying a pair
of revolvers strapped to him. On
Saturday last Parmalee was at Elk
horn Station, where he engages in
the grain trade. Keeler was also at
the station during the day and under
the influence of strong drink. They
had no difficulty during the day
uutil they had each started for home.
They have farms a quarter of a mile
apart.
The Republican describes the duel
between the men as follows :
Keeler started for home at about
half-past four o'clock, and Mr. Par
malee followed him a few minutes
later.
The two men met In their teams
about one half a mile north of the
town. Keeler saluted Mr. Parmalee
with:
"You G d d d s n of a b h, let's
fight right here!"
To which Parmalee replied that he
had no objections.
Keeler was armed with a double
barrelled Bhot gun, loaded with
buck-shot, and Parmalee had a
repeating Winchester rifle.
Keeler turned loose both barrels of
hjs shot gun, badly wounding Parma-
lee's horses ana inflicting several
flesh wounds on Parmalee's person.
Tha latter drew up his rifle and
"pumped the Winchester at him
three or four times," Keeler was
struck three times, twice in the neck,
and once in the lungs. Ho died with
out uttering a word.
Mr. Parmalee went to town and
gave himself up.
Parmalee is an old citizen of Oma
ha, well know in the State, and gen
erally respected as a good citizen and
a peaceable man. None have any
doubt that he killed Keeler In self-defense,
and to save his own life.
The Nebraska City Chrenicle speaks
of Dr. Stewart, of the Insane Asy
lum, filling the building with compa

To show how much truth there Is In
this assertion, wo will only have to
state that the portion of the building
that is completed was only intended
to hold forty patients, but the Doctor
has given up part of his own quarters,
and now haa fifty-five patients about
one-half more than the building was
Intended to accommodate. Does this
look like entertaining friends to the
exclusion of-patients? Mr. Chronicle,
that "hobby" is a little to thin. Try
again ! Lincoln Spy.

RAILROAD iiATTBRS.
To the Citizens of Nemaha County.
I find that many of the voters and
taxpayers in the western part of this
county nnd along the line of the
Brownville, Ft. Kearney & Pacifio
R. R., are very much dissatisfied on
account of the taking up of some of
the iron on above named road and
placing it on the Midland, or what
has been known as the Trunk line.
Permit me to say as a party Interest
ed in the Brownville, Ft. Kearney &
Pacifio Road, (and not in the Midland
or Trunk more than any other tax
payer in the county,) that I have
been convinced in my own mind for
a long time that we could not get our
western road completed until there
could be an outlet opened up. I am
also well satisfied that the railroad
interests of this county all depend
upon the construction of a north and
south road. For this reason I have
not remonstrated against removing
the Iron temporarily, believing we
could not be Injured, but tba't it would
materially facilitate every railroad in
terest in which we are all Interested.
I also believe it a duty we owe to our
selves, in view of the stringency of
money matters, and the difficulty of
making negotiations for the purpose
of building new railroads In sparsely
settled countries, to aid in every possi
ble way In our power those who are
willing to make these large expendi
tures In our midst, which become per
manent as well as a mutual advant
age (o all.
Trusting that the above explana
tion will be all that Is necessary on
ray part, and that Dr. Converse's pri
vate letter to me In answer to one I
wrote him (protesting against taking
up my Iron) will explain itself, I am,

1st. Peru precinct has me tied on
60 days' time that is justly mine, and
hence I must press every Carve to lay

tied. I have borrowed some 6t the

the river is safe, and then we can push
the matter. If I am to be stopped or

to all, both the railroads' and the

At the "Central Association" on the
1st lust, the following plan was adopt
ed for the relief of the destitute of our
western counties:
On the 21st of December those who
feel able to contribute to the relief
fund will take their contributions
either to Humboldt or Nebraska City,
as is most convenient, aud ship to me
at Lincoln, at which place the two
lots will be united and taken to the
desired points. I was selected by the
association as a distributing agent, to
see that these supplies are properly
distributed. I would suggest that
each neighborhood have some one ap
pointed to take these supplies to the
depot. I will be at one point and
will have some party at the other to
see that they are properly shipped.
We, through this section, are look
ing forward to the coming holidays
anticipating much pleasure. Let us
all unite and from our abuudance
contribute something towards mak
ing glad the heart of some destitute
one in the west, that wheu those hol
idays shall come we may "rejoice and
be glad altogether."

the west comes to the bar of our con
science, pleading for the putting forth
of that charity which is the hign ex
cellence of our nature. From all
parts of onr land the people are con
tributing their means In their behalf,
and yet we have reason to believe
that ao great isthe devastation and
so numerous thei sufferers the con
tributions that are being made are
wholly inadequate to the emergency.
Their situation calls loudly for help.
To this end an aid society has been
organized, whose object la to assist
the StatejAid Society in feeding and
clothing the destitute. "Will you
help? Will "you out of your abund
anoe contribute to their rescue? We
ask for donations of money, corn,
wheat, flour, wood, clothing, (old or
new,) men, women and children's
wear, anything you may have to
give. If you cannot give largely,
give your mite ; give according to
your means and according to your
own judgment, formed with an en
lightened conscience a"nd a benevo
lent heart. When the Creator put in
motion the broad mechanism of his
mercy he put upon it laws of action
and reaction, and made the work of
charity twiee blessed blessing him
that gives and him that takes. As it
will not be possible for all to be wait
ed upon individually, it la therefore
earnestly requested that you will
bring in your contributions at once.
Frank E. Johnson or Wilson E. Ma
jors will receive your donations and
make a proper record of the same.

COMPLI3IEXTART TO NEBRASKA
FRUIT.
Mr. Harrison, Secretary of the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society,
(the oldest in the United States,)
wrote the President of our Society,
asking for fruit from this State for
their annual exhibition, and speaking
in high terms of our successes at
Richmond and Boston. Tho fruit
was forwarded as desired from the
orchard of Hon. J. H. Masters, of
Nebraska City. A pleasant letter of
acknowledgment was returned, with
a photograph of their elegant display.
Yesterday Mr. Allan received the
Society's silver medal, engraved
'Awarded to the Nebraska State Hor
ticultural Society for collection of
fruit, September 16, 1874." On the
reverse side is "Pennsylvania Horti
cultural Society." Coming, as it did,
unexpectedly, Nebraska realizes the
compliment paid to her by the fore
most fruit growers of America and
she sends back thanks of greeting
from thousands on our prairies, who
are proud to claim that grand old
State as the place of their nativity.

Scott Garnett, a Btage-drlver be
tween Rocbeport and Columbia, was
arrested on Thursday, on the charge
of having murdered John Hunter,
about a year and a half ago, near Des
Moines, Iowa. It seems that Garrett
was connected with a disreputable
house in Des Moines, all the inmates
of which left soon after the murder.
Subsequently a letter was intercepted
from Garrett to one Mattie Maguire,
who had been connected with the
house. In this letter he stated that
"she knew he had murdered Hunter,
and he urged the strictest eecresy up
on her, promising to pay her $i00 if
she would obey his wishes. He
threatened also, that in case she re
vealed his horrible secret, he would
get some one to kill her." The local
papers say that Garrett has borne an
excellent character since his residence
In Boone county. St. Joe Herald.
