bonds.
The bill transferring the Indian bu
reau to the War Department has pass
ed the lower house of Congress.
The Connecticut Repupllcon dele
. tes to the national convention favor

dency. Congress has agreed upon an appro
priation of $33,000,000 to run the post
office department the next year ; $3,
000,000 lesB than last year.
The prosecution of the San Fran
cleco whisky ring it has been determ
ined by the President shall be as rigid
and inexorable as it was in St.
Iiouls, and Is about to oommece.
Cuming county. Neb., Instructed its
delegates to the Fromout convention
to present the name of J. G. Blaine
as the unanimous choice of the Re
publicans of that county for President.
On the night of the 21st the jewelry
store of Charley Tripp, Sterling,
Johnson county, Neb. was burglariz
ed to the tune of several hundred dol
lars. Gustavus Doehring disappeared
from the town about the same time
and 13 supposed to be the robber.

The Democracy of Indiana, last
week nominated a state ticket, with
Hon. Jas. D. Williams, of Knox
county, for Governor. Afterastormy
time between the friends of Holman
and Landers Williams was taken up
as o compromise. Orth, the Repub
lican, will walk over the track into
the executive office.
A petition for the pardon of Avery
and Maguire, signed by all the Sena
tors and Congressmen from Missouri
has been received by the President.
The President referred the petition to
the Attorney General and he Bent it
to District Attorney Dyer. If Mr.
Dyer should report favorably the
prayer of the petition may be granted
The San Francisco Bulletin pub
lishes a complete crop report from
nearly every agricultural county In
the state. All dispatches agree in re
porting that the prospects for the
grain crop was never better, and that
nn unprecedentedly large yield may be
expected with continuanoe of reason
ably favorable weather. Fruit also
promises well.
Tho Nebraska Democratic State
convention met at Lincoln last week
nnd elected the following delegates to
the national convention : G. L. Mil
ler, Dr. A. Boar, G. B. Scofleld, Esq.,
P. A. Harmon, T. Castor and C. Mc
Donald. While a resolution instruct
ing the delegates to support Tilden of
N. Y. city, was voted down, the dele
gates are a unit for that gentleman.
The bill reducing the salary of the
President from $50,000 to $25,000 has
been vetoed by the President. In
this he is consistent and right. The
bill in no wav effected his salary, bb it
-was not to take effect until after the
expiration of his term of office The
President thinks that $25,000, is not
an adequate salary to sustain the po
sition that a President is compelled to
sustain, and says so in a very candid
manner.
The Rook Port, (Mo.) Journal says,
" James Rice and John D. Lee, the
prisoners who made their escape from
the Atchison county jail In January
last, have finally found their way In
to tho penitentiary. Recently they
were convioted of horse stealing in
St. Louis county ana sent up tor a
term of years. "While awaiting trial
Rice came near effecting his escape
by means of a wooden key. He Is
not only an old offender but a shrewd
rascal.
The Philadelphia Press says that to
Blaine alone seems to have been left
the distinction of fighting for himself
and his cauee in open court. "He
does ndt seem to desire to escape re
sponsibility, but rather challenges It:
lie takes a tilt at every Democratic in
comer; he seizes every Issue, and
even now, threatened by an investi
gation, he faces it. as fiercely as our
good friend Benjamin F. Butler him
self would do under the same circumstances."
Six men were hanged at Ft. Smith,
Arkansas, an the 21st, for the crimes
of murder committed within tho last
year at various times and places. One
of them was a negro, one a Choctaw
Indian, one a white man, and three
were Cherokee. On the 3d of last
September six others were hung there
on the same scaffold. Aaron Wilson,
the Negro, was convicted of the mur
der of an old man by the name of
Harris and his little eon, who were
moving from Nebraska to Texas. He
comltted the crime for the old man's
team and the plunder ho was hauling
and then went and boasted to some
Indians of what he had done. The
Indiana informed on him and deliver
ed him np to the ofllqars.Qf tho law.
In this issue our readers will find
an article from the pen of Jarvis S.
Church. The object of this commun
ication mny be Inferred, we think,
from the following quotations from
Judge Church's article, viz:
"Republicans have virtually said to
us, 'stand back, gentlemen, and wait
until ourcaucuses and county conven
tions have been held, and we have
placed candidates in the field, and
then we will be generous enough to
issue a long printed public address to
you, inviting you to aid us in electing
our men to office." The
question then arises, what are Inde
pendent men to expect from the Re
publican party and its leaders In the
future'? Are the blunders of last year
to be repeated this? In your editorial
of last week you say that Church
Howe can vote the Republican ticket
and no one can hinder him. Exactly,
but is he or others likely to do so if
they are to be kicked out of the pri
maries? The Indepen
dents are not the men to go sneaking
around to accept any but honorable
terms of reconciliation."
In defense of the Republican party
of this county we will remark that
the Judge's talk about what the "Re
publicans have virtually said," "long
printed addresses," &c. is not true,
and consequently not applicable to
the "blunders of last year," if any
there were. What is the history of
the initiatory steps of last years cam
paign In this county? The cential
committee met at Sheridan July 31st
1875, and designated Sept. 4th as the
time and Sheridan as the place for
holding the convention to nominate
officers and elect delegates to the
State contention. One of the acts of
the central committee at that meeting
was the following which we copy
from the printed minutes In The Ad
vertiser :
T. L. Schick, G. W. Falrbrother,
and S. Cochran were appointed as a
committee to issue an address to the
voters of Nemaha county, asking
their co-operation in the matter of
nominating and electing the county
officers during the coming campaign.
And the following is an editorial of
ours regarding the same matter:
We wero very much pleased to wit
ness the harmony which marked the
business of this meeting. Everyone
manifested an unselfish desire for the
success of the party, to have honest
and capable men nominated, to see all
sectional, personal and local feuds dis
pelled and to unite the good old Re
publican party again in solid phalanx
that insures viotory over Democracy
and all other parties working In the
interests of Democracy. To this end
a committee was appointed, consist
ing of T. L. Schick, Esq., G. W. Fair
brother and 8. Coohran, to issue an
address to the voters of Nemaha coun
ty on the importance of the politics
of the present and of the near future,
the necessity of united action, and in
viting co-operation in the noble work
of all old Republicans who have here
tofore sought but found not a better
party that has In it the elements of
success.
In obedience to this request the
committee issued Its, address, gotten
up in the spirit of conciliation as con
templated by the central committee,
and inviting all who were longing to
return to the old party, to co-operate
both in nominating as well as elect
ing the officers. The precinct caucus
es were held August 2Sth, and these
publications were before the public
several weeks before that day arrived.
Bo none could' then, cannot now,
properly complain of being "kicked
out of the primaries." Before the
campaign of the year before com
menced, a similar invitation was giv
en jb always given by the Republi
can party. It is always generous and
delights to welcome back the prodi
gal son. The address and kind invi
tation to the old friends to co-operate
with the Republican party were not
accepted but treated -with derision
and contempt, and met with insult
from the stump by those, or many of
them, to whom we proffered the hand
of friendship and proposed united
work. And the only consolation of
the Republicans was that they had
discharged their duty the best they
knew how to their party and country.
Wo do not speak of these things in
any degree in the spirit of bitterness,
and do so as a duty only, In defense
of the party who has done its whole
duty in tho premises alluded to.
"The question then arises, what are
Independent men to expeot from the
Republican party?" We cannot 6oy
what as wo are not authorized to
speak officially, as some might with
out authority, as chairman of the
centtal committee but so far as we
are concerned individually, all who
desire to honestly labor and vote for
the success of the Republican party
are welcome to join us "now," and
take part in nil our caucuses, conven
tions, and elections. As to what they
may further expect we may safely
say they may expect, in seeking office
or position, to take their chances of
success or defeat, as all men of all
parties have to do.
Our duty and efforts are to build up
instead of tearing down the party
that we believe should yet continue to
govern this country; and it is this
spirit that prompts us to say to all
our old Republican friends who are
moved by the same candid motives,
come and let us work harmouiousty
together for victory over our common
enemy.
In the distribution of office, both
oounty and State, The Advertiser
will always favor that which Is fair
and equitable, between all classes of
citizeus and sections of country, ig
noring the rights of none, making
honesty and capability the only test
in our party.
Much more might be said in re
viewing Judge Church's article, but
wo think wo have said sufficient, and
will only add that we have reason to
believe that we have reflected the
feelings andsentimentsof theRepub
Iican party generally in this county,
and hope that the Judge will see and
appreciate that the "terms of recon
ciliation1' we suggest are fair, honora
ble, and reasonable, to both Indepen
dents and Republicans.
Political.
Edlfor Nebraska Advertiser.
Every intelligent American citizen
having a voice In the election of a
man to the high and responsible pos
ition of President of the United States
is watohing the the political machin
ery which Is now being set in motion
to accomplish this result. At the
present moment the choico is for one
out of thousands but so soon as the
various conventions shall have done
their work the oholce will then be
narrowed down to one of two candi
dates. In the first Instance it may be
a choice out of several good candidates.
In the last it may or it may not be a
choice of two evils. It Is quite impor
tant then that every good citizen shall
Bee to it that the fountain be pure, so
that the stream which flows there
from be pure to the ocean. Pure and
upright counsels must prevail - at
the cucuses or else we have but little
hope of the final results. What is
the present political outlook and what
does it portend of good or of evil to
our country ? It maybe well to calm
ly consider at the threshbold of the
present campaign, the attitude of par
ties and of men asjviewed from other
stand points than that of our own. It
seems to be a settled conviction thta
the presidential campaign is to be
handed over to the Republican and
the Democratic organizations, and
that all legal voters must be content
to speak through the one or the other
of these parties what little they care
to say in a political way this summer.
There is an Independent voto more
or less numerous in every state, Re
publlcanly inclined, whioh in the ag
gregate hold the balance of power, so
many think, at least, and can elect
ono or the other of the presidential
candidates. What has been the atti
tude of the two parties toward this
independent element? Republicans
have virtually said tous, "Stand book,
gentlemen, and wait uutilour caucus
es and county conventions have been
held, and we have placed candidates
in the field, and then we will be gen
erous enough to issue a long printed
publio address to you, inviting you to
aid us in electing our men to office"
The Democrats have said to us just as
plainly, "We will unite with you in
your caucuses and conventions, in an
independent way, and we will place a
tioket in the field and give it a united
support." I say such has been the
attitude of the two parties toward us.
The result has been that we have a
Democratic Congress, and many of
the old Republican states are now
Democratic You Bay this comes of
our disloyalty to the old party, and
that we are chargeable with the re
sult which we both deplore. We say
it all comes from the obstinacy with
which you crowded upon us a class of
men, which you knew at the time we
could not support. Now, allow me to
suggest that this crimination and re
crimination separates us wider and
wider and prepares the way for disas
ters more deplorable than any we yet
complain of. The question then aris
es what are the independent men to
expect from theRepublican party and
its leaders in tho future? Are tho
blunders of last year to be repeated
this? In your editorial of last week
you say that Church Howe can vote
theRepublican ticket and no one can
hinder him. Exactly, but is he or
others likely to do so if they are to bo
kicked out of the primaries? The
welfare of the whole country may
compel us to pocket many insults and
Indignities and vote for a Republican
President, whethor we are permitted
to help in his nomination or not. The
Republicans can put up a man we will
not vote for, but It is too early in the
canvass to predict that they will, and
wo much prefer to assume that they
have sufficiently learned the lessons
of the hour to enable them to consult
and respect the better element of the
earlier Republicans and give us a man
wo can all support. Now, the further
question arises, would they not be
more likely to do so if we nil could
lay by the bickerings of the past and
unite our forces at the very commence
ment of this campaign, and continue
with one accord until" the ides of No
vember. The Independents are not
the men to go sneaking around or to
accept any but honorable terms of re
conciliation. And this letter is writ
ten thus early to dear the wav for
the activities which we mean to throw
into the political culdron, a9 oppor
tunity ehall seem to diotate. We say
then, most positively, but in the
spirit of conciliation, that if you have
any words of encouragement to offer
wo will hear them now, as a month
hence may find us in not so good a
mood for the consideration of plans
which are then fixed and unalterable.
I await the expression of your feel
ings and sentiments, trusting what
ever you have to say, may be the ex
pression of the men who give force
and ideas to the Republican policy of
to-day Jarvis S. Church,

Omaha, April 21, 1S7&.
Perhaps a few lines from Omaha,
and from an old friend, might be ac
ceptable to you and your many read
ers. Omaha is alive, and don't propose
to die, although the terminus of the
Union Pacific R. R. is decided to be
on the Council Bluffs Bide. A great
many new buildings are goingup this
spring, and real estate is on the rise
all the time. It is almost impossible
to find a vacant housein thecity now,
and the demand Is constantly on the
Increase. Business men are much
encouraged, and the outlook for the
epring and summer Is exceedingly
hopeful. The Black Hill fever is still
raging, but instead of depleting Oma
ha it Is constantly increasing her bus
iness, and adding to her wealth and
resources. It remains to be seen
whether the fabulous wealth reported
In those regions are a farce and hum
bug, or whether it is true in reference
to the rich deposits of gold said to be
in that country. Certain it Is, that
quartz sent here to be assayed, proves
beyond doubt that the yellow metal
is there, and the quartz found to be
very rich. But many, very many,
passing through here burning with
the gold fever, will come back again
disgusted with the country, begging
their way home again.
Omaha is certainly the great com
mercial city of the west, and Nebras
ka may well bo proud of her. No city
in the United States can boast of bet
ter publio schools. Abont 2,000 chil
dren attend these schools. The high
school building, situated on Capital
Hill at the head of Capital Avenue,
Is one of the finest school buildings
in the State, costing about two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. At
present there are about 500 pupils at
tending this school alone. I had the
pleasuro of visiting the school in all
its departments, and the school and
teachers certainly reflect great oredit
to the city, and also to the State.
Tho Union Pacific shops are a mar
vel. Hundreds of men are employed,
and it Is a city in Itself. No one
ought to visit Omaha without going
through the high school building,
the Uuion Pacific shops, and the
emelting works.
Beingsituated midway between the
Orient and the Occident, on the great
line of travel, we are honored with
the visits of all the great theatrical
characters, also poets, lecturers, seak
ew, &o. The latest sensation was the
visit to our city of Dom Pedro, Empe
ror of Brazil, and his party, conslst-j
ing of Viscodee de Bom Retlra, Min

Sec; Dr. Henning, Prof, of Sanscrit ;
and J. O. Kelly, correspondent of the

Yours truly, W. A. Polook, Post
Master and Secretary of the RepubliJ
can County Committee, still lives,
moves, and has a being. The man
that says that Polock is dead, is a liar
and a villain. True he (FoTock), after
the unmerciful boxing he received
from Dr. Holladay in the Granger,
some years ago, retired from active
newspaper life, and that villainous
correspondent of the Lincoln Blade,
(Sedgwick,) reported him dead, and
all the world believed it. Sedgwick,
however, knew it was a' He all the
time; he knew that Polock was play
ing possum, and that at a time you
did not expect, he would (like an old
sore) break out in a fresh place, and
like an old sore, after the breaking
out, Polock always feels better.
Well, the time has come, and Po
lock has "done broke out." This
time it is In the Omaha Bee. Poor
Bee; I hope it will recover. Let the
Bee man make out his bill of dama
ges, and draw on me at sight, and I
will honor the draft. Let the young
men who part their hair in the mid
dle, make out their bills for work and
labor, and present them to Church
Howe in person, and he will pay as
soon as he hears from Patrick.
The gentlemen who part their hair
in the middle have long felt the need
of a, champion ; one who could and
would fearlessly wield a pen in their
behalf. They have waited long and
patiently for some able writer like W.

for the Pacific coast, leaving tho
crowd well satisfied that for once they
had seen a veritable king, flesh and

thing over six feet, weighs about 200,
gray whiskers and moustache, wore a
black cloth suit, a felt hat, and car
ried in his hand an umbrella, and
looked to bo an ordinary Englishman
or American citizen. As we looked
upon him we felt for once In our life
we had met a king, and a sensible
man.

Three prisoners were released from
the Rock Port, Mo. jail one night last
week by tho wife of the jailer Mrs.
Joseph Lane. She has Bince been
found to bo insane. The efforts of the
Sheriff to capture the escaped were
fruitless. Their names were Wm Mc
Nown, Wm. Lee, John Boyles.
We call attention to the card of the
executive committee of the State
Grange exonerating Churoh Howe
from the charges against him.
Churoh's grange in Nemaha County
and several other granges have pass
ed resolutions cf similar import. The
order is of course justifiable in pro
tecting its members from the shafts of
slander, but we fear that the granges
in question have aoted to hastily in
the premises. Howe is a chronic office-seeker,
and his zeal in laboring
for the order has been actuated by the
prospects of securing some office.
Therefore inBtead of whitewashing
him tho grange ought to make his
case a subject of investigation. Bc
atrice Express.
It will take something more potent
than whitewash to save Churoh
Howe's bacon.
Thomas W, Piper, convicted of
murdering the little girl Mabel
Young In the belfry of a churoh in
Boston, has been sentenced to be
hanged on the 26th of May. Since
his sentence he has made a sworn
statement that she received the injur
ies whioh caused her death from the
belfry trap door falling upon her.
That ho was frightened lest he would
be acoused of murdering her, and
therefore denied all knowledge of the
matter, trusting that his connection
with it would not be discovered.
We desire to call your attention to
the malicious libels circulated by the
Kearney Press and seconded by sever
al other papers in the state, against
the character and standing of our
Worthy State Master, Brother.Church
Howe. Such charges without evi
dence of any kind whatever to sustain
them, are in our opinion wicked, ma
licious, and intended solely to bring
disgrace upon our order and destroy
its usefulness. As the slanderers,
when publicly called upon by our
worthy master to give evidence sus
taining said charges, have confessed
their entire inability to furnish Buoh
proof, we do not hesitate to express
our entire disbelief in theirassertions,
and earnestly request patrons through
out the State to unite with us in pub
lishing our condemnation of said un
scrupulous attacks, and in sustaining
our worthy maHter in the work he Is
doing for our order, which was never

present. Let every subordinate
grange be heard from. By order of
the executive committee.
P. E. Beardsley, Clerk.
In reference to the above the Kear
ney Press Bays :
About the "Special circular Num
ber 1," published in this issue, we
have but a few words to say. It Is
well understood by the patrons of
husbandry in nearly all parts of the
state why Churoh Howe takes so aot
ive an interest. That he will be able
to make that organization a tool in
the hands of corrupt polioians and
bribe-takers we do not believe. There
is one glaring misstatement made in
this circular, whioh every reader of
the Press will notice. We never
"confessed our inability to furnish
such proof," but on the contrary are
waiting anxiously for an opportunity,
which we now believe Is not far dis
tant. The hlcrher Mr. Howe Is boost
ed just that much further he will
have to fall. Circular number two,
when Issued, we will gladly publish.
This "circular No. 1" emanated
from the State Executive committee,
of which Church Howe is chairman.
Further comment is unnecessary.

In Omaha there are two faotions in
tho Republican party bitterly oppos
ed to eaob other. One is headed by
Rosewater and the other by officials
in self defense against his bitter war
fare. We suggest if these opposing
elements cannot, adjust their difficul
ties, or at least enter the conventions
with the understanding that the los
ing party shall acquiesce in the will
of the majority, that the conventions
may see safetj'in ignoring, altogether,
the factions and ringB in Omaha.
These quarrels should not be permit
ted to jeopardize the Buccess of the
party. Brownville Advertiser.
We heartily and fully indorse the
suggestions of the editor of The Ad
vertiser. At the same time, we
would remind him that the "faction"
here, which he designates as 'officials,'
stands as it has stood from the outset,
6imply on the defensive. It is com
posed of the great body of the Repub
lican party in Omaha, Including near
ly all its leading men, and no other
course would have been consistent
with their respect, nottosuy party loy
alty. Whatever faction and fighting
there have been, they are not responsi
ble for. Mr Hitchcock, the Govern
mppt officials here, the owners and
friends of the Bepublican, and the
entire respectability of the party here
endure these things simply because to
combat with them would be to add
fuel to the flame and make a bad mat
ter worse. They have done eo for the
peace of the party and for their own
peace of mind. They have done so
because to have deigued reply, even
would have necessitated their stoop
ing to the use of the same bsse weap
ons WXiicu me peny vu smuuDici
has used, and because no man can
handle pitch and not be defiled.
We agree with The Advertiser
that the differences among Republi
cans must cease. It is time, on the
eve of a mortal struggle against; u
common foe, that they stop fighting
one another. The llcnublican will
have no hand in any quarrel or strife
among Republicans. So far as Its
course and influence can go, the Oma
ha Republicans will go into the con
ventions as one man. They will do
their best to seoure such aotion as they
deem wise, and after such course fair
ly and well taken, they can be relied
on to sustain the platform nnd sup
port the candidates of the conven
tions. If any paper here, professing
to be Republican, sees fit to continue
In its course of hostility to homo in
terests in business and munioipal af
fairs, and to keep on denouncing and
attacking everything republican.
that is Its affair, not ours. TheJPe
nuhlican and the Republican party
will move on in a oonBistentand loyal
course all the same. Omaha Bepublican.

"What is a dollar ?" A very intel
ligent banker of this city Informed us
a few days since that he had been re
quested to send a categorical answer
to the query standing at the head of
this paragraph ; and in his anxiety to
return a correot reply, he wished to
have the opinion of the Inter-Ocean.
The latter returned this definition :
A dollar is one hundred cents of the
money of account, represented by
gold, silver, paper, or other substance,
in quantity, form, and impress deter
mined by law or common consent.
Inter-Ocean.
The Kearney Press and Brownville
Advertiser do not seem inclined to
obey the party lash. If the various
journals would denounce oorrnption
wherever found, purity in politics
would soon be the rule rather than
the exception. The trouble is, too
many paperB fear to print the truth.
Lincoln Globe.
This talk about the party lash
sounds very nice, and is very compli
mentary, and likewise very flattering;
but there is a vein of ingnorauce or
falsity we oannot tell which con
tained in It that Is excusable only
when found In an independent paper
with Demooratio proclivities. The
Globe undoubtedly refers to the drub
bing that the Press and Advertiser
are giving Church Howe, but for tho
life of us, we cannot see what the par
tv lash has to do with it. They are
not using the aforesaid lash to make a
good Republican out of Howe, but
are opposing him because he deserted
his party for gain r.nd is now playing
the role of tho prodigal son, and fur
thermore because he is said to have
done that thing which no pured-min-ed
legislator should bo guilty of re
ceiving a bribe. It is not necessary
for anybody to hold the party lash
over these to newspapers. We con
sider them two of the straightest par
ty journals in the State, and if they
protest against the re-admission of
renegades and bribe-takers into the
nartv we are at a loss to comprehend
in what manner they are disobeying
the party lash. Beatrice Express.

We envy not the sensations of a
legislator, about to dispose of that
trust, placed In his hands by a too
confiding constituency, his vote. We
envy not the pitiful burlesque on Ju
das Iscariot, the apology for manhood,
the whited sepulchre, the epitome of
a man, who for lucre pawns his hon
or, name, fame and trustworthiness,
never to be redeemed in Heaven above
or earth beneath. And, we also, en
vy not the reputation of Church Howe.
