Had we supposed that our neigh
bor would have been offended, possi
bly we rnlcht have softened It down a
little. Shcridct7i Post.
You would have "softened it"
that Is, your falsehood, when you said
we did not recognize the work of oth
er Republicans "and lauded Mr.
Hove alone." Tho above extraot Is
an acknowledgment that you lied,
because the naked truth never needs
to bo ' 'softened down a little. ' '
Some time ago we wrote nn ar
ticle in which we called upon the peo
ple to either enforce the law intended
to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors in this city, or at once repeal
it and legalize the traffic which we
had Teason to believe was carried on
extensively in various stealthy and
private ways. The intention of those
utterances was to arouse the peoplo to
the necessity of enforcing the ordi
nance, and to give them to under
stand that the apathy of the tem
perance element was strengthening
the opposition, was iujuriug and
gradually dissolving the good work
began here lust winter. And now,
while we do not favor license, and
will not, there Is not much doubt that
at our next city election the license
party will elect their ticket. And we
believe the blame will be upon those
who profess to be opposed to saloons;
for If the law was rigorously enforced
against those persons known to be
constantly violating it, and the po
tent argument, "It's no use to try to
suppress whisky," taken out of the
mouths of those who harp upon that
string, Brownvilie could have retain
ed her reputation as a temperance
town, for at least another 3'ear.

Thanks.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Permit me, through your columns,
to return ray thanks to each and
every member of the "Pijtafore"
company, for their kind, generous
and persistent efforts towards the suc
cess of the Opera; and to the public
for the patronage extended on both
nights of its production. I can assure
both of my heart" appreciation.
Very Respectfully,
Cora Gates.
Pinafore as per announcement,
was performed on last Thursdaj' eve
ning, and repeated, by request, on
Friday evening. So targe an audience
was never before crowded Into the
Opera House as greeted Mies Gates
with her company, on the first eve
ning; and on the next evening it was
far a,bove the average audienc& for
this city. From the beginning, the
appreciation and pleasure of the very
intelligent congregation of people,
from every part of the county, was
made apparent by their hearty ap
plause, and each subdivision of the
play as it progressed bad its climax of
cordial approval ; but it could scarce
ly have been otherwise with a culti
vated and critical audience, for Pina
fore was never rendered better that
iB, hardly ever.
When Mies Gates, the sweet little
Prima-donna appeared In her superb
costume, as Josephine, the audience
went wild In manifestation of appro
bation, and aehowerof choice flowers
fell around and abcut her upon the
platform. It would lie euperfluoue
for us to undertake a portrayal of Miss
Gates' aotlng and vooalizing. Suffice
it for us to say that in our opinion
the former was faultless, and her
singing without aeuperlor as for flute
like perfection, intonation and sweet
ness, and with few equals as to com
pass and power. Miss Gates also de
serves much credit as musical direo
tress, for the difficult and varied cho
ruses of Pinafore were moat delight
fully rondered by the troupe of young
ladies of the company, as well as by
the gentlemen.
Mr. MoNaugbtou. as direotor of the
company, feeling tho weight of duty
and the necessity of triumph, called
out his best efforts, and had his re
ward in the splendid acting of his
companions. Old stagers might have
been proud of doing as well as these,
most of whom were upon the boards
for the first time. In his character an
Ralph, the "Able Seaman," he would
be hard to excel.
DeloB Smith, as Captain of the Pin
afore ; J. Br Docker, as the Admiral
of the "Queeen's Navee;'' Ed. Lip
pett, as Dick Deadeye, the disagree
able sailor; and last but best of all,
Miss Mollie Furnas, as "Sweet Little
Buttercup" there could scarcely be a
better oast of character and all ac
quitted themselves most handesome
ly, together with the jolly sailors,
and "his sisters and his cousins and
his aunts." Pinafore was the best
dramatical entertainment ever gotten
up in Brownvilie. The receipts of the
first evening amounted to $210.85,
which wers applied to thb benefit of
the Presbyterian Church. Thoceofthe
second evening amounted to $G9, and
were for the benefit of the Brown
vilie Library and Reading Room.
Pinafore was quite an enterprise for
the talent of our little city to under
take, and all who assisted, and took
hold and pushed the entertainment
to its final triumphant success desore
unreserved praise. Amongst these,
we select Mrs. J. W. Ford, Pianist,
for special credit. Mrs. Ford enlisted
for success, and labored incessantly,
missing, we believe, not a single reci
tation, and has the grateful thanks of
Mr. McNaughton, Mies Gates, and
the entire combination. And public
acknowledgments are also due to
Mrs. Docker and Mrs. McNaughton
for their assistance, and also to Mr.
Geo. Arkwright formaking the ship's
maitiTnast, and otherappreciated as
sistance. Good-bye, now, to our Pinafore
company ; but we hope not forever,
hoping that ere long they all without
the Iops of one, will appear again be
fore a Brownvilie audience.
Now, Wash, when we become a
"lickspittle" that is, if we under
stand the meaning of the word and
wish the assistant nf another "lick
spittle" we will ak you to "enter th
li-ts" with us. We are not a lickspit
tle. Sherida7i Post.
All right Hiram but you area host
within yourself, and you seem to en
joy the business so well that you'll
cover a good deal of ground before
you'll call for help. But the Post
man says in all seriousness that he Is
"not a lickspittle." We would hope
not; but when the editor undertook
the job of giving a good notice to
Judge Stnll, recognizing his efficiency
as a political campaigner, and not
stopping when he had accomplished
that tosk, but went outside to criticise
untruly and find fault with us, whom
he knew had the best of feeling for
Judge Stull and every Republican on
and off the ticket who assisted in
electing it, we diagnoaed the pymp
toras at once as a bad casor of syco
phantio fawning, very common to
narrow pated young editors whose
highest aim is the groveling one of
seeking flattery from some ideal
statesman. Hiram has the Judge
patted you on the back yet, and filled
yourilttlesoul with ecstacy by calling
you a "good boy?" You have certain
ly earned this from him, and you will
find him generous If your slush has
not overcome him with disgust.

One Matinee..
Monday evening, Dec. Sth, "Uccle
Tom's Cabin;'' Tuesday evening,
Dec. 9th, "Bla,ek; Diamonds." "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" matinee Tuesday after
noon. The Forbes Dramatic Company con-j
sists of sixteen first-class artists, and
are now playing an entire new ver
sion of Uncle Tom's Cabiu. written
and arranged expressly for this com
pany, iu six acts ; with new eceuery
new properties, new. paraphernalia
uew taces, etc. It is the most coin
pleteorganization traveling, and com
mands crowded houses nightly.
The Des Moines Register says :
Contrary to the general expectation
(forDesMoInes has been fearrully im
posed upon in the matter of "Uncle
Tom's Cabins"), the troupe at the op
era house last eveningbrought out the
well-worn drama in a more than ex
cellent manner. The "Uncle Tom"
and "Eva' were especially good, nnd
the "Gates Ajar" sceue a wonder.
The different members of tho troupe
are above the average we have been
getting, and altogether the presenta
tion of the drama was as much super-,
ior to versions we have been getting
of it as Owens was above his imita
tors. The reasonableness of theprices
of admission brought out a large au
dience nearly eight hundred being
present and all were well pleased.
This afternoon nnd to-nleht thev play
again, and the low price of admission
should attract other large audiencep.
General admission, 35 cents; gal
lery, 25 cents ; children under ten
j'ears, 15 cents. Resprved peatsk 50

Uncle Tom's Cabin matinee Tuesday
afternoon, to commence at cloe of
schools. Admission to matinee;
adults, 25 cents ; ohildren under ten
years, 10 cents; over ten and under
fourteen years, 15 cents.
The Advertiser well kuows
that people liviugoutslde of thecouu
tj and not thoroughly posted on the
politics of this county, would, from
reading Tub Advertiser, and other
papers throughout the State, have
supposed that Mr. Howe did all the
heavy work, and that the others were
simply detailed to assist him. Sheri
dan Post.
Now, had we taken that position we
could successfully maintain it, for it
doesn't matter materially whether
Mr. Howe served as a detail or a lead
er, so that he did the work ; but the
truth is The Advertiser was not
misunderstood, not even by tho Post
editor whose understonding, when
not referring to his feet, is, we admit,
not at all remarkable; for we stated
plainly in effect, that our candidates
were our standard bearers and that
Mr. Howe was detailed to lead otF in
its support and he did load ofF and
he did the heavy work and as the
Post stickles for that "all" we'll ac
cept it, and fray "all the heavy work,"
and if the "people living outside the
county" lias got the impression, which
the Post so much dreads, from The
Advfrtiser, we are well pleased, for
that is precisely what we intended
them to "suppose."
Two years ago the Republican tick
et was elected "by tho ekln of the
teeth," as it were Mr. 'Howe against
it. It is barely possible that it could
have been elected again this year
without his assistance, for the old Re
publican and Independent parties
were of about equal numbers; but
ibis year, Mr. Howe's coming back
into tlie party, the dissolution of the
Independent party, and Mr. Howe's
"heavy work" amongst his old party
followers, gave us an overwhelming
victory over the Democracy. We
give Mr. Howe credit for tlie addition
of the Independent party to the old
Republican party. And we ak the
Post to answer squarely if it does not
do the same; and the Post will please
further Btate how big our majority
would have been had Mr. Howe been
found still standing at the head of the
old Independents opposing our tioket.
We simply want your opinion, Mr.
Peery, nnd not the exact figures. For
instance tell us, approximately,
how much over fifty majority
would tho Judge have had, if Mr.
HoweJiad as assiduously canvassed,
and worked against him forsome pop
ular man ou nn independent ticket,
as he did for him?
We last week noticed the fact
that we had not been amply paid for
election printing for the legislative
campaign of 1S7S ; and gave Dr. Neal
credit of paying all that was paid.
This statement was not correct. Hon.
Charles Blodgett should also have
been credited with his share of the
expenses. Ab we would not know
ingly wrongJany2oiie, this stotoment
is due Mr. Blodgett, and is very cor
dially made.

The ferry boat came near being
burned last Thursday night. Some
fire fell out of the furnace onto the
floor and when discovered had burned
quite a hole. A few minutes more
and the fire would have had head
way that could not havgr beeu stopped
before the destruction of theboat.
Forbes' Dramatic Company,
numbering fourteen good artists will
hold forth at the Opera House next
Monday evening. It is a good one
one of the best troupes traveling.
Give them a good house the first
night ; they deserve it.
Universal" Admired.
Dr. Price's Unique Perfumes are
now universally admired. It I truly
remarkable to free how like the fresh
ly gathered flowers are all of Dr.
Price's odors for the handkerchief!
They are the fashionable perfumes.
They are the sweetest and most last
ing odors in the market.

Tliey Tv"or5t Together.
When yeur system gets out of tune
and you feel completely played out.
It Is pretty certain that you need n.
medioine tooct on both the kidneys
and liver for these importaut organs
work to-gether In freeing tlie system
of Its waste, nnd keeping up the tone.
Then take Kidney-Wort, for this is
what it does, for it is both diuretic and
carthartie.
ILlItcto Obtain.
No'doubt the public would like to
obtain what it requires at as cheap a
rate as possible, and many times an
induced to purchae cheap articles,
which ore In renllty the dearest in
the end. Dr. Price's Special Flavor
ing Extracts posts a few cents more,
yet they are the chenpept. for they
quire much less in nunntltv.
