mits that he may have been wronged
by certain parties cud papers of the

Mr. Fairfield should vacate. We
base this opinion on the apparent
fact that the Chancellorship bae as

the University would be more pros

'On the oocasion of Sidney
French'slecture, Saturday everting,
tbe cornet banjL.tu'rned outvand cheer
ed speaker and audience with fine
music. And some of our singers, led
byMfss Fannie Arnold and Prof.
Lippitt, sung some heart stirring
songs.
On Friday last Sidney French,
Esq., of Frankfort, Kentucky, ar
rived in this city. Mr. French, some
twelve years ago was a citizen of
Brownville, a yoong lawyer of more
than average ability and promise,
but while sbooessful in building up a
respectable5 business, with hia part
ner, W. T. Rogers, he at the same
time' practiced at the bar of the sa
loon keeper, acquiring, seemingly,
an unconquerable appetite for that
wbfoh at the last blteth like a ser
pent and 8tingeth like an adder.
And there are none better qualified,
by sad experience, thau Sidney
French to answer truly tbe interro
gations of the Good Book, "Who
hatlf woes, who hath 'sorrows, who
hath contentions, who hath wounds
without cause ?" He experienced all,
and while he lingered at the gilded
shrineof Bacchus, he lost his business,
his money and hia very manhood, by
sinking to the depths of the common
sot; and was finally taken away by
hia parents back to his home In his
native State. His fond, ever hopeful
mother beiieTing that with her boy
under her Immediate care she could
induce him to conquer the demon,
to kill the worm that gnaweth, and
the fire that burneth, In the blood of
the inebriate. It seemed a hopeless
case ; but it was not : Sidney French
was saved ; and he oame baok the
other day he came baok a strong,
healthy, sober man, and Saturday
evening, before one of Brownville's
best audiences he stood a witness that
a man with indomitable will who as
serts his manhood may free himself
even fromj the constrictions ofthe
,--- R'onhnll" XXnsmnmo. ja. nam
man, ho came in a noble work to
wbioh he has consecrated his life ; he
came a most highly honored man,
being called by the appreciative tem
perance people of Kentucky to lead
in the field of temperance as an act
ive and aggressive ' worker. Satur
day evening he delivered ono of the
most effective lectures wo ever lis
tened to, yet it was simply an appeal,
an appeal from the very heart
and soul of an honest man
to the various phases of citizen
ship to do something in the
limit of their sphere and influ
ence for fallen and falling humanity.
Ho began hiB lecture by reviewing his
sojourn in Brownvilie. In doing this
he labored with bis emotions aud his
tears. He then in good order spoke
to church members, mothers, fathers,
young ladies, and young gentlemen,
showing them most conclusively that
each had a work to do, a duty to per
form, for society, for the children, for
themselves and for the world at large.
Everybody who knew Sidney
French as of old, was glad to greet
him ; even young gentlemen who yet
take their grog occasionally, welcom
ed him with pleasure nnd did every
thing they could to augment hi3 au
dience, aud render him happy in this
visit to his old Nebraska home.
And we thought as with pleasure we
noted the heartyt,reception accorded
by some yet addicted to quaffing the
bowl that intoxicates suppose Sid
ney Prench had come baok as be went
away, a seedy sot, Instead of a jiax
'nnnnilAlln rf kin rvAnro.n ...! .nnnnnnl
bilities if he had come looking for a
saloon, instead of a hall in which to
speak to the people to warn them
against saloons, would be have re
ceived such attentions from these
gentlemen. Of course he would not.
This we observe to the credit of gen
erous, sensible men, who though not
practical tenipera'nce men, thus in
dorse and recognize the respectability
of the cause.
At this writinglt is announced that
Mr. French will lecture again here
Tuesday evening, and that he will
probably lecture at Lincoln and then
hasten back to his own State to meet
his engagements there. May fortune
and success, and tbe highest honors,
reward the work of brother French.

The Advertiser takes no de
light In seeing any of our citizens put
to trouble arrested, fined ; and al
wava has a sense of sorrow and pity,
even for the man that has to pay the
penalty of wilfully violating law.
But as a journal supported by tbe peo
ple, under its present management
must take a position on all questions
affecting soolety, and it would not be
worthy an existence did it hesitate to
speak (or the good of the people, in
the interest of humanity, and in be
bebalf of law and order. In the lit
tle excitement occasioned hero recent
ly by the arraigning at tbe har of Just
ice, some who have been violating the
laws of the State by selling intoxica
ting liquors without license, The Ad
vertiser has been blamed as Instiga
ting these arrests. Very well, let
them blame. We have demanded the
enforcement of the law; and shall
continue to do bo, as long bb wo edit
this or any othernewapaper, whatev
er the law may be, and if we have
had anv influence in urging the offi
cials of the city to devise the ways and
means we understand they did, in
bringing these law breakers to justice,
we have accomplished just what we
designed. We, in Buch matters do not
write and talk for the mere fun of the
thing. And now we call on them to
not "weary in well doing," but let
vigilance be employed to utterly sup
press tbe traffic in the city, and to
keep It suppressed. In this we are not
speaking especially forourself, butfor
the community at large. We reflect
the sentiments, doubtless, of at least
three-fourths of the people in de
manding that the law in this respect
Bhall be enforced. This demand is
made and ha9 been made not only by
Templars and temperance men, but
by all the better cIbsb of gentlemen
who indulge in strong dring. Not
long ago two former saloon keepers
appeared before the city council ask
ing license, stating that liquor waB
being sold In the city contrary to law
that these transgressors were ma
king money out of the traffic, while
they, the applicants, had been de
prived of their business by a law
which they had obeyed; and theyde-
naruica ar rtn iyinncll nlthnr linonRp
or the enforcement of the law. The
council we believe discovered a point
in the argument, and so proceeded to
have the law enforced.
Now we volunteer a little advice to
those who have been violatingthislaw,
to stop at once, abide by the law until
it is repealed, at least, or you will be
caught, sure in truth you may be
known now and may be "ploked"
up at at any moment. We learn, by
the way, that there are others In the
city, besides the two already fined,
guilty under the law, ut some of
them not flagrantly so, who may es
cape until guilty of further offenses.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser,
I wrote an article headed 'State
Rights," which appeared in the
Granger, Dec. 12; and It received suoh
au extended notice from tbe editlor,
I ?hould have felt that I wat fast
olimbing to the pinacle of fame, bad
he not have oomeout with his editor
ial broad sword and out me down so
fearfully, as the following lines taken
from his article will abaw : "Fair
view '3 article has no more to dq with
the theory of State Rjghts aq advo
cated In this country, than with the
reign of Nero, or the theory of evo
lution. Before people undertake to
publicly discuss the question of State
Rights, they should try to learn what
they are talking or writing about." I
probably should not bo proof against
praise, but I have but a slight fear of
criticism, if It doea oome from an edi
tor, and I am not running for office,
or popularity. I have never written a
single line expecting to enlighten or
Instruct the publio, but for my qwn
amusement and improvement and
make no pretensions to being a news
paperwriter.I baveuo recolectioq that
I ever took pen in hand to form a sin
gle letter at school, and have obtained
all the education I boast of by read
ing and writing for newspapers; I
will say I believe them to be the best
educators in our laqd,
The editor of the Granger has pub
lished several of my articles for
which I am very thankful.
Considering tbe editor's late loud
professions of neutrality or Indepen
dence on the subjeot of politics, I be
lieve it would have been proper aud
to bio credit to have left'.the criticism
of the article referred to to some oth
errson. Ithas been but a few weeks Bince
ho renewed his pretensions of neu
trality, to the public, in regard to pol
itics. Was it honest or was it a trap
to outch Republican support for his
paper? Can it be possible this editor
sits squarely on the fence, when ev
ery stone he throws drops over on the
Republican side? Cau he or any of
hid readers point us to a single line
he has written on the political ques
tions but what haa been one sided and
in favor of the Democratic party, uot
withstand hia pretensions to neutral
ity? He gave the publio to under
stand that hid paper henceforth would
be neither Democratic or Republican.
He evidently considers the Palmetto
tree the tree of liberty, aud the Dem
ocratic party angels stationed there
with drawn swords to defend it. He
has looked so long upithe secesh pole
at that memorable flag, and that in
teresting reptile that is ao gracefully
coiled there, with head ereot In the
centre, displaying a blood red tongue
aud glaring eyes. This thrilling
spectacle has charmed this editor,
"And when he undertakes to discuss
State Rights he does not know what
he is talking or writing about." I do
not blame, but pity, the editor. of the
Granger. HIb mind has gone out af
ter the "theory of evolution, the reign
of Nero," and that of Jeff. Davis.
Fairview.
Our worthy old correspondent,
Fairvlew, although not polished in
style of expression, has a large supply
of good, common, pioneer sense on
hand, and perfectly understands the
attitudeof the Granger"on thefence."
It is true that while the editor from
time to time calls loudly for the peo
ple to observe that he is exactly a
straddie of a three cornered railon the
fence, and seems to think that posi
tion a manly one, he, as Fairview
says, throws all his clubs at occupants
of the Republican field. He could be
coaxed off tbe fence, however, on to
the Republican side, for a time long
enough for him to devour any proven
der that might be set before him. Let
Fairview try him take some appetiz
ing morgal, Bay a cold biscuit, aud
call jocko to come down, aud he'll
come, never was kuow to fail. But
it may be amusing to Fairview to also
know that jocko may be induced to
remain on the fence. It has been
demonstrated that this can be done.
If the victuals are forthcoming he
will fasten himself close to the top
rail, aud while the grub holda out will
do no more than occasionally snarl
and Bnap at men on either side. Fair
view will at once remember that dur
ing the late county campaign the
fence rooster of the Granger main
tained that top rail remarkably well,
but he may not have been aware that
tbe reason he maintained his perch so
well was pay. Yea that's a fact
Moore was "fixed" early the Repub
licans knowing the fence ornament
was for sale cheap, just paid him in
advance to stay "on dat fence." As
a further Illustration of how
this fence rooster runs his neutral
machine this may interest Fairview:
Sometime before the conventions he
bailed a prominent Republican can
didate and whispered confidently,
"If I'll come down off the fence and
help nominate you will you agree to
divide your patronage with me?"
The candidate answered him in ef
fect "No sir, I believe I do not
waut to make any bargain with you
innr mhhmmwiii a
Mr. Moore." Tnerefore the jacko of
the top rail x3t twisted up the corn
er of bis mouth, showed the offend
ing candidate his little incisors, and
climbed baok on the fence to look out
for a more appreciative customer.
We never make a charge withonft
ample evidence. "It was but a few
weeks since he renewed his preten
sions of neutrality," says Fairview,
and Falr,v,hvy is onrrwin presuming
this a bid for Republican help Re
publican subscribers aud patronaget
as this is not a good county now for
Democratio support, and if it was tbe
Democrats have no more confidence
in Moore than have the Republicans.
Who can have confidence In one
who sits on the fence and advertises
himself for sale?

IVew Yorfc Butter MarKct,
In reporting the market prices for
butter, the New York Tribune af
May 20th, eald, "choice packages to
the retail trade reach 19 to 20 cents,
but light colored goods are bard to
dispoBO of, and several lots were
thought well sold at 8 to 10 cents.
This stern logic of dollars and centa.
is rapidly convincinc dairymen that
they Bhoqld use the Perfected Butter
Color made by Wells, Richardson &
Co.. Burlington. Vt. It gives the
perfect June color tbe year round
nnd dairymen that use it never send
litrht colored goods to market,"
Kidney-Wort will cure Kidney
and Liver diseases and worst cases of
Piles.

Gilt-Edged Butter,
There is alwayB an active demand
for butter that Is up to the gilt-edged
Btaudard in quality and color. Much
butter that is otherwise good sells at
a reduction of from three to five centa
per pound, becauso deficient in color,
Dairymen should then uso Wells,
Richardson & Co'b Perfeoted Butter

This color Js by far the brightest pur
est and best made.
