Senator Conkllng, says the Inter

days he has ruined two or three. On

words, an answer to the whole of

Inter Ocean; One good point about
the President's vetoe message is that
he presents arguments bearing on the
great questions at Issue bo clearly as
to fix them permanently in the minda
of the people at large. The last mes
sage is a vivid presentation of unans
werable arguments that will go home
to the- understandings of the people,
and stay there to influence popular
action for many a year.

Inter Ocean: The New Orleaus
Times dislikes and- despises Tilden
.because he represents and Is the nat
ural produot of the worst era and the
most corrupt methods of American
politics, and objects to his candidacy
in 1S80 because he Is neither a great
man nor a good one, and because he
is a political triokster. And yet the
Times supported this bad man and
political trickster forPresident In 187G.
Inter Ocean: The second veto mes
nage of the President is even stronger
than the first, and reveals so plainly
the Impudent demands of the State
rights advocates that it cannot be read
without a feeling of indignation that
such demands should be made by a
party which is alive to-day only by
the Eufference of the power it seeks to
humiliate.
The Inter Ocean is not disposed to
rook favorably upou indiscriminate
vetoes. It believes this prerogative of
tho Executive should be exercised
with caution and only for the most
positive rcajbOUB. But tho President
will certainly be upheld in his action
in this instance by the.great body of
the people. The doctrine of State
sovereignty as interpreted by the latter-Tiny
Democracy is exceedingly dis
tasteful to the nation. It has cost the
country much, and has been a con-
rstaut menace and annoyance from
the day it was first promulgated. The
question of its presence in American
politics was submitted to the arbitra
ment of war, and the dootrine went
to the wall. It was supposed that the
contest was forever ended, but no
aooner does the Democratic party ob
tain a foothold than it raises again to
trouble and perplex the people of this
country. Wo are glad the Issue, if it
must come again, has been raised thus
early. The Republican party can af
ford to appeal to the country upon it,
and need not fear the result. Demo
cratic politicians, North and South,
will learn in due time what they do
not seem to know yet, in spite of ail
their experience, that this is a nation,
not a congregation of Independent
planets, and that it will insist upon
the necessary power to protect its own
life and enforce its own laws. The
party that seeks to cripple and debase
it to the exultution of any petty State
government, will be wrecked as sure
ly as the rebelliou failed, and will go
down to the same defeat that over
whelmed the Confederacy.
The President deserves honor for
the stand he has taken. His message
is a sufficient platform of itself upon
which to fight a campaign and win it.
The North Is "solid" for the dootrine
ho enunciates, aud will support him
with earnestness, determination, and
enthusiasm.
The Western Rural is an exoellent
agricultural paper, but It sometimes
refers to politics In a very pertinent
manner, for an outsider, as the fol
lowing Illustrates :
The second appropriation bill, with
its "political rider" in the shape of a
prohibition of the use of troops at the
polls, except as against the enemies
of the United States, which we sup
pose means foreign enemies, has been
passed by Congress and has been ve
toed by the President. It is to be
hoped that this nonsense will now
cease. It is too costly to be persisted
in. The President is determined to
retain the law as under the constitu
tion he has the right to do. It is not
worth while to stop to question his
wisdom. He thinks he sees the ne
cessity of such a statute, or pretendB
to, and according to our fundamental
law, it is not for congress to attempt
to coerce him into doing what he re
gards as injurious to the interests of
the country. Every citizen should,
of oourse, be interested on one side or
the other of this and every other po
litical question. Nevertheless It is
probably a fact that the great majority
of the people do not care whether the
law remains or coea. But thev are
1 interested in the useless expenditure
of the public money in sustaining a
session of Congress whose only object
is to pass laws whioh ihe members
know will be vetoed. The masses of
the two ooutending politioal parties
have no such interest in partizan pol
itics as will Induce them to waste
money for the purpose of making par
tizan capital. Taxes are already on
erous and future prospectB are not
bright enough to warrant the suppo
sition that the people enjoy this po
litical wrangle to the extent of desir
ing to spaad a single extra dollar.
CoacresswIll please Its constituency
if It wVll shut up the capitol and go
Home. It will save gas bills and pre
vent other useless expenditures and
preserve its own reputation what lit
tle it has.
York Republican : One of the men
doInK business up at New York tells
a pitiful story of a man who came in
from the North Loup a week or two
since. He was an old drunkard, who
had gone away from his drinking
companions east to make a home for
his family in his deolining days. He
and a 3'oung man from his neighbor
hood brought in each a load of cedar
posts, having heard that York was a
good place to sell in, and one of the
best In the atate to buy groceries, and
withal a-temperanoe town. His chil
dren had worked out and got a little
money ahead, which with the sale of
the posts, was to feed and clothe them
till harvest. The Now York "drug"
harpies got hold of-him, and all his
companions could do did not prevent
him from pouring- the hard earnings
of his ohildreu into the- till of the
"drug" business. By dintof persistent
persuasion, the young man got him
started home with a part of the bare
prooeeds of his load of posts. The
clothing, groceries and much needed
supplies for his expeotant family were
all swallowed up, and instead of greet
ing a satisfied father bringing com
forts for their home, these poor chil
dren met a bleared and bloated old
man, empty handed and- ashamed,
bearing only harder poverty and bit
terer discouragement. And yet there
are plenty of men whooallthis sort of
"drug" business an indication of "en
terprise" without which no "live"
town can thrive. Wo believe there
are scarcely any live towns anywhere
that don't have some dirty cess-pools
about them, but it is hard to-persuade
us that these pools are any benefit to
any town or any community.
Senator Bayard has Presidential as
pirations, and has some friends. If
Bayard had the decision to aot as well
as he eometimes talks he would be a
pretty decent Demoorat. But such
baokboneand Independence he lacks.
He Is a tool of party caucus and obeys
its behests and the dictations of the
Impraotioable Southerner just the
same as Thurman, Vorhees, Pendle

ard would be-a bad President because
he would be led and absolutely ruled
by bad men. He would, be a second
Buchanan with inclination toward
the right but powerless under the in
fluence of the leaders of treason.
Bayard may be the Presidential can
didate of the Democrats for the very
reasons above hinted at his patriotic
utterances, his notorlty for violating
his own sentiments, and his suscepti
bility of manipulation under the gen
tle hand of the Southern bulldozer.

A Short Prayer for Omaha.
We do pray and implore the people
of Omaha to stop this eternal and in
fernal noise and clamor agaiuat their
own interests. The most inveterate
enemies of this proud and growing
city are found among those who are
most interested in its welfare. Every
time some little thing occurs to
change an incidental interest the
home hullaballoo begins, and talking
down Omaha in mass meetings and
on the city curbstones resumes again.
Nothing has hurt Omaha in the past
ten years half so much as the grumbl
ing and growling of its own citizens.
As the Herald has deolared time and
again, the jaw and jabber of our own
people against their own town, and
their ready disposition to exaggerate
every little thing that is fancied to
harm it and belittle every large in
terest that Is sure to help it, have done
it more positive injury than any oth
er single agency has done since Its
real commercial prosperity began
with the advent of the railwaj's.
The Herald emits a short prayer to
our good people this morning to stop
this sort of thing. Omaha was never
so strong and powerful as it is to-day.
Its prosperity is as solid as its growth
is surprising. jNo man uouota tnia
who is sound-minded, and we do most
humbly pray and beseeoh our people
to call no more mass meetings to ad
vertise needless frights and foolish
fears, and to stop curbstone laments
about nothing. If the men who own
Omaha and do its business will sober
ly consider the necessity of dealing
with its n flairs 03 men of brains and
business should do, Omaha will do
the rest. The Interests and future of
this young city are as fixed as the
vast and rich region from whioh it
draws ite life-blood, and for us to con
stantly magnify trifles that float out
upon the surface of our affairs Is not
merely the baldest nonsense In the
world, but It Is also the most Injurious
and utterly indefensible folly. Oma
ha Herald.
Substitute "Brownville" for "Oma
ha," and the foregoing is as applica
ble to our city as that. These "eter
nal grumblers'7 injure a town or cause
more than all else beside. We have
a certain class of people In Brown
ville who, whenever anything goes
wrong cry out: "the town is dead!"
"that will kill us!" For instance,
as soon as the railroad was extended
to Nemaha City "Brownville was
gone up" in the parlance of these
growlers. While the fact is, Brown
ville has not been in so sound and
healthy condition for many years aB
she Is to-day. Of course the railroad
extension benefits Nemaha City, and
ought to, and we ore glad of it. But
that Nemaha City's prosperity Injures
Brownville is "all in your eye."
There ia room enough in Nemaha
oountv for a half dozen towns ten
times as large as Brownville, or all
the towns it now has combined.
Brownville "is a mighty lively corps"
for a dead town. We hope she will
continue to "die" in the future, as she
has In the near past.
In 1S60 the Democrats In Congress
did everything in their power to crip
ple and reuder the army useless, in
anticipation of easy dissolution of the
Union. To-day they are doing the
same thing. Why do the Democrats
hate the army ? Why do they oppose
everything offered for Its welfare and
efficiency? They deny revolutionary
Intentions; they profess patriotism.
Then why so persistout in their ef
forts to tie the hands of the President,
as it were, and render the army non
effective. We feel warranted in
charging them with deception and
falsehood, that they are still traitors
at heart and hate the general govern
ment and the old flag. By the spokes
men in the Senate and House they
declare the right of a State to secede
at will, just as Jeff Davis did twenty
years ago, before he stepped out
of the Senate to lead his State into se
cession. To sum up the whole mat
ter what they said and did then,
their history since, and what they
say and do now, they are unrepentant
rebels, and when they can no longer
rule the country as they did prior to
Lincoln's election, they will again at
tempt its overthrow and ruin, as they
did then. History is repeating itself.
Senator Zach Chandler created
quite a confusion among the confed
erates a few days ago when he charged
that twelve Senators from the South
held their seats through violonoe,
fraud and murder. The truth of the
charge and having It hurled dlreotly
into their teeth made them squirm
with cbagTin and rage.. Chandler
said there were but two Republican
U. S. Senators from the entire South,
and they were threatening to unseat
one of them. He warned them to be
ware of the precedent they would es
tablish in the face of the fact that
twelve Democrats then held seats- In
the Senate that had no right to them.
The Democratic party of to-day, if
the Democratic Congress and Senate
truly represent II, Is a party oT seces
sionists. They may not all believe
secession just at this time practicable
but they teach boldly the doctrine of
the right of a State, or any number of
States, to separate from the Union
whenever they may desire to do so.
The right of secession is made by ev
ery Democratic haranguer in both
houses of Congress, the principal arti
cle of faith in the- damnable dootrine
of "States rights."
Olobc Democrat : Senator Pad dook,
of Nebraska, has been interviewed,
and expresses the opinion that the
Grant movement would not be count
enanced by the politicians if the peo
ple were not behind it. He is right.
The Grant movement is just as muoh
the work of the people now as the
second nomination of Lincoln was
in 1SG4. The politicians were oppos
ed to Lincoln and in favor of Chase
in 1SG4, but the people asserted them
selves and renominated Old Abe by
acclamation.

THE SAUNDERS PLEDGE.
Senator Howe Interviewed
"Press" Reporter.
by a
He is Willing to Tell What He Knows
lVhen Saunders Demands it.
Hon. Church Howe arrived in Ne
braska City recently on a visjt tu the
Nebraska College, of which hejs one
of the trustees.
A Press reporter called on Mr. Howe
for the purpose of interviewing him
in regard to the Sauuders pledge con
troversy. Reporter What have you to tell in
regard to the Saunders pledge which
the Omaha Herald says you carry in
your pantaloons pocket?
Mr. Howe I have nothing to saj' at
present, perhaps never. It is a quar
rel between Miller and Saunders, both
friends of mine for whom I have the
greatest respect. 1 prefer that they
settle their differences without any
interference from me.
Reporter Have you seen Senator
Saunders' denial in which he gives
tho public to understand that he nev
er signed any pledge previous to his
election as United States Senator?
Mr. Howe I read Senator Saun
ders letter: I do not understand from
it that he denies signing a pledge to
do certain things, not specified, but
that he does deny signing a pledge to
give bis support to the U. P. Roilrood
in Congress. It seems to be a question
of veraoity between Miller and Saun
ders. Reporter Miller asserts that be saw
a pledge of this kind which Saunders
gave you before his election. Sajiuders
denies it, and you seem to be the only
person who can Bettle the question be
tween them.
Mr. Howe As I said before this is
a quarrel between Miller and Saun
ders. I am ready at all times to ex
plain my aots as a member of the leg
lislature of 1S77, and especially the
parti took in the election of U. S.
Senator whenever Senator Sauudera
desires it.
Reporter Did 011 know that the
Omaha Bee and Blair Pilot charge
that the pledge is a forgery aud are
denouncing you? The iJcdenonds
the publication of that so-called pledge
in justice to Senator Saunders.
Mr. Howe I do not read the Bee.
I think I recollect very ell what
took place between Saunders and my
self previous to his election. It Is
Saunders who is on trial aid not I.
When he (Saunders) wants my testi
mony he will probably call for it, and
I will be found a very willing witness.
Reporter Then yon don't propose
to give to the public what you Know
In regardto this matter?
Mr. Howe That depends on cir
cumstances. I prefer not to mix in
this light, but the over-zealous friend
of Senator Saunders may force me to
do It iu self-defense. What Senator
Saunders needs most just now Is
frlendB with less blarney ana more
brains. They talk toomuoh and don't
know what they are talking about.
Injudicious friends can oiterildatboge
a public man worse than his memies.
Thayer on Grout.
Hon. John M. Thayer, of "Wyom
ing, addressed a letter to tho Chey
enne Leader in correction of the fol
lowing paragraph. "Gen. Thayer
says nearly all the republicans he
met, while east, are iu favor of Grant
for 1880." Says Gen. Thayer:
That one word "nearly," is there by
mistake. I met with no exceptions.
The stalwarta, of coursJ, are for
Grant, the Greeley republbaus are for
Grant, and the conservative republi
cans are now for Grant ; the civil ser
vice reformers are beginning now to
come around to the support of Grant ;
even the self righteous republicans
are beginning to draw a long sigh and
say, "Well, I guess Grant' is the
muu." I venture the prediction that
when the republican convention as
sembles, it will be simply to record
the edict of the republican party of
the nation, already declared, in favor
of Grant as their nominee; that no
other republican will permit his
name to be presented In the conven
tion for that office; aud that Grant
will accept; he will do nothing to
obtain it; will not turn hia hand for
it; will not utter a word in favor of it.
He will look calmly on, as ho did at
Vioksburg aud Appomattox, and
quietly accept the inevitable; that
the result of the election will be so
decisive, that cipher dispatches and
all attempts to buy returning boards
will be useless, aud there will be no
occasion for resorting to that political
makesnitt, by which each party hoped
to trick the other in the session
'76-7, the electoral commission.

The Kearney Press says the late

A TERRIBLE DISEASE.
St. Petersburg, May 14. The dis
ease which has broken out in the
CaucasB province is fatal in twenty

habeas corpus in the miscegenation
case of Edmund Kinney and Mary
Hall, now confined in the penitentia

prohibiting intermarriage of races,
was refused by Judge Hughes ou the

JUDGE DUNDY'S rONCA DECISION.
Washington, May 14. The decis
ion of Judge Dundy at Omaha in the
Standing Bear habeas corpus cuse, in
which ho virtually declares the Indi
ans citizens with a right to go where
they please, regardless of treaty stip
ulations, is regarded by the govern
ment as a heavy blow to the present
Indian system, that if sustained will
prove extremely dangerous alike to
whites and Indians. If the power of
the government to bold Indians upon
their reservations or to return them
when they escape, is denied, the In
dians become a body of tramps, mov
ing without restraint whenever they
please and exposed to attaoks of fron
tiermen without redress from the
government. The district attorney at
Omaha has been instructed to take
the necessary steps to carry the ques
tion to the higher courts.
A KENTUCKY MURDERER.
Louisvelle, May 14. A special
from Paduoha says two years ago a
man named Dan Edmunds, who
lived in Livingston county, Ken
tucky, ran off to Arkansas with a
neighbor's daughter, leaving a wife
and family behind. A short tim6ago
he startod back to his former home
with tho woman and child, and when
near tho Mississippi river, killed and
buried both. On returning he took
up with his lawful wife. The bodies
of tho murdered woman and child
were found and identified and search
was instituted for Edmunds. Yester
day an officer from Arkansas arrived
at the home of the murderer, arrested
and took him back to the scene of his
crime.
PENSION PAYMENTS.
Washington, May 17. In response
to a letter addressed by Secretary
Schurz, inquiring what amount of
funds oah be made available monthly
for payment of arrears due upon pen
sions allowed prior to January 25,
1S79, the secretory of the treasury
states that includiug the amount al
ready paid, $2,500,000 will be avail
able prior to July 1st, and $2,000,000
monthly thereafter. At this rate
nearly the whole of the next fiscal
yeor will bo required to complete pay
mentof the arrears. The commission
er of pensions Iu view of this ba9 is
sued a circular letter to applicants for
arrears, saying a comparatively Btnall
number of cases only can be adjusted
monthly and thereafter some delay
may occur in settlement- of claims.
But settlements will be made in such
order as to distribute payments equit
ably among the several pension agen
cies as near as may be possible.

Some Pertinent Inquiries.
ThoZ?ee resents our suggestion that
it lies in the power of Hon. Church
Howe to vindicate Senator Saunders
in the matter of the written pledge
which he gave to seouro enough
Hitchcock votes to elect him.
The Bee, when the Herald first
made public the fact of such a pledge,
denounced Hon. Churoh Howe as "a
forger" if he ever held or exhibited
such alleged pledge over the name of
A. Sauuders.
Tho Bee, now, resenting tho sug
gestion in yesterday's Republican, re
flects upon Hon. Church Howe as a
man meriting a felon's cell, and af
firms that Angell, the defaulter, Is
just as worthy of belief and respect as
Ib Mr. Howe.
If the Bee were the secret and im
placable enemy of Senator Saunders,
it could, not possibly take a course
more unfortunate for and injurious to
that official.
Now what will the people of this
State think when they learn, as we
can inform them, that the editor of
the Bee has within a week past, been
informed beyond peradventure that
such pledge was made and that the
proof of it still exists, and has pro
nounced the pledge itself and the giv
ing of it by Alvln Saunders as "dam
nable V Will they draw the conclu
sion that the editor of tho Bee is act
ing the part of a friend to Senator
Saunders?
And now a question or two to the
editor of the .Bee. Is Mr. Kosewater
prepared to-assert that a score or more
of letters, bearing the signature of
"A. Saunders," and addressed to citi
zens of this State are "forgeries,"
when those letters are "confirmation
strong" of the foot and the existence
of suoh a pledge? Would the editor
of the Uec, under any possible cir
cumstances, allege that Judges Lake
and Maxwell are and that the late
Judge Gautt was while living access
orie3 before tbe fact to a forgery and a
fraud ? Would the editor of the Bee,
under any conceivable circumstances,
rank Judge Weaver, Hon. James
Laird, and Capt. W. H. Ashby with
Angell, the defaulter, thief and felon?
These are questions whioh mean a
good deal more than the enrsory read
er might suppose. Omaha Republi
