This significant paragraph!
from
the San Frmcisoo Post :
The Grant boom will soon be beard
from M-alne to Texas, and from Atlan
tic to Pacific. ELa Is the only availa
ble candidateon whom, the ooneervar
tive element of the republfo can
unite. Party lines should disappear
in the face of the coming conflict
with communistic ag-rariaalBm..
There seems to be little-or no oppo
eltlon among Republican papers to ac
cepting Grant as their nest candidate-
for President.
The above is the first sentence the
mud alii of a oolumn of lies in the
Plattsmoulh Courant, & new- Demo
oratio paper. The readers of the
Courant may not know any better,
but overy intelligent person knows
that at least one-half of the Republi
can papers, and those of the greatest
circulation, are, opposed to Grant's
nomination.
It fa now a violation of the-law to
retail spirituous liquors aa beverage

delegation, Nemaha will give Grant
eight hundred majority this fall.
Omaha Republican.
We cannot see that it will be nec
essary for Mr. Howe and Mr. Majors
tohavea tussle as to Grant and Blaine.
It is true that they differ in opinion
regarding- the strength, of these two
candidates. Col. Majors being a Grant
man and Maj-. Howe a Blaine man.
But they are not at all hot over the
matter, and will have no tussle- They
nor others will make any attempt to.
select a delegation to tho State con
vention of auy special; complexion,
further than, that tbey betrustwortby

Omaha Republican? A duel-is on

bounced the runner out of the emi

A challenge was then sent and ac
cepted to tight a duel according to the
rules. Swobe, under the rules

The intelligent and thinking man
cannot mistake the tendency of the
Republican party towards centraliza
tion and despotism. Plallsmouih
Courant.
"The intelligent and thinking man
cannot mistake." A retrospective
thought tells him what the Demo
cratic party waB before the Democrat
ic rebellion, when it the pasty not
the South but the Demooratio party
held millions of human boingsin des
potismwhite and black humanity.
He thinks of the daya of the old Dem
ocratic oligarchy and Republican mud
sills; and of the gathering storm
when "greasy Northern mechanics,"
who "stunk under thp arms,' threat
ened its powerover the Nation, when
with whip and blood bounde It went
to work,, to establish its deBpotio sway
over the free North. He remembers
what party was In power aud stole
the treasure, and the forts, and the
munltionsof war and absolutely deliv
ered the country into the hands of
treason. Ho remembers what party
It was that declared the war a failure,
and the other party that stood by the
country and saved it in spite of Dem
ocratic copper-heads in the North
and Democratic traitors in the South.
He thinks of all this teudenoy of
modern Democracy toward an abso
lue despotism; and thinks of the dev
ilish methods of that party since the
war, resorted to toobtain control of the
government the reign of terror In the
South the thousands of political mur
ders, the tampering wilb the ballot
box Btufflng it with false ballots, or
by mob violence keeping legitimate
votes from the polls. Talk about a ten
dency to despotism ! The Democratic
party is in power in Congress to-day
by more damnable practices upon
this Baid to be free government than
baa ever been perpetrated in any of
the Europeau States, Empires or
Kingdoms;. and that party will per
petuate its power.by frauds, intimida
tions, aud the overthrowing of majori
ties. If permitted to do so; and who
doubts that if that party had Grant
and believed bim to be the strongest
man, that It would elect him if it
could regardless of the number of
terms. The intelligent mau will also
think bowsupremely ridiculousJs-tbe
patriotic pretensions of Democracy,
when its treasonable hands are yet
red with tho blood of patriots..
Who do the people want? should
be the question who can come near
est concentrating a solid vote ? Poli
ticians, papers and statesmen should
not figure in the consideration ; and
those of them who think more of the
suocees'of principles, than. of person
al favors, have as a paramount ob
ject, the selection of the People's
choice as a Presidential candidate.
Therefore the wire pullers should now
suspend operations, and let tho peo
ple in their county conventions, to
elect State delegates, Indicate their
ohoice, as they have made up their
minda- from deliberate reading and
thinking. We are not in favor of In
structing delegates as a rule, but if
the people in their county conven
tions would call for an expression of
preference, it would at least indicate
the choice of the voters ot the State,
and show the comparative strength
of the several candidates. It is im
possible to know the desirea of the
masses by any action of a convention
run bv nrofesslonal nomioai wire
pullers. They might by cunniug
manipulations-of the convention ma
chinery instinct-for Grant when the
people wantBlaine, or they might do
the reverse. Conventions, supposed
to represent the people, do not very
often do so; but if the farmers, and
all the non-office-seeking, independ
ent populace-would take the matter
strictly in hand for the sake- of good
government and enforcing their
wishes, they could handle Slate and
National conventions so aato.compel
a true reflection of their will.
The ladieB of Brownvilie turned
out at the lute city election, working
all day for the temperance ticket.
Both the papers favored that ticket,
and yet theliceuBe men carried every
ward. This leaves the eounell a tie.
The mayor is temperance, so no li
cense will be issued this year. Bloom
ing ton Argus.
The above is not entirely true.
Firstly, both papers did not favor the
temperance ticket, the Granger main
taining its usual graceful attitude
aBtraddle of tho fence. Since the
election however, Mr. Moore claims
to have supported the whiskey tioket,
for oounoiimen. Before the election
be declined to say, bo it would "get
out," how he would vote. You re
member the old Btory of the chicken
hearted wretch- who. climbed up into
the "loft" leaving his wife to fight
the bear, and then coming down after
she had killed it.exolalming-, "Well,
dear, didn't we have- a hell of a
fight?" Moore is that fellow. Too
cowardly to come out liko a man and
fight for glory, he8neaks out of his
hole after the fight is over and- tries
tosteai a little glory from the- license
party.

which gives reason to the mortals In

Omaha JTcws, loth Inst. : Yester
day a novel suit wsa commenced in
the United States cc-urt by MeBBrs.
Poppletonand Webster, attorneys for
Mr. John Elk, an Indian, against
John Wilkins. registrar of the First
ward, for refuBinK to register the
plaintiff, and thereby denying him
the privilege of voting.
The plaintlffoiaims that he Is a cit
izen of the United States by virtue of
the fourteenth amendment to the con
stitution, that his residence in the
state of Nebraska and city of Omaha
has been sufficient to enable him to be
registered and to vote at elections.
Under the Fifteenth amendment
he claims be should not have been re
jected by the registrar, nor restrained
from voting on account of his race or
color. On the oth of April he pre
sented himself to the said Wilkins,
who refused to register him because
he was an Indian and therefore not a
citizen of the United States, nor en
titled to a vote.
The prominent question presented
lu the oase is whether an Indian is a
oitizen of the United States by virtue
of the Fourteenth amendment to the
constitution, which is a question nev
er judicially determined by any court
in this country, and therefore new as
involving a construction of the con
stitution relative to tiie Indian-race.
The editorof the Omaha itfeufr says
that he recently called upon J. M.
Woolwortb to get what information
be might have regarding that eleven
thousand dollars said to have been
Lembezzled by tho "Nebraska Belief
and Aid Society," which was organ
ized at Omaha in 1875, to disburse and
distribute private donations to grass
hopper sufferers. But Mr. Wool
worth declined to make bis knowl
edge, in reference to tbe matter, pub
lic. This Ib rather corroborative that
the News' charge is not groundless,
for Mr. Woolwortb. was a member of
that soolety and is a shrswd, cunning
fellow. It is evident he knows more
about that $11,000 steal than be eares
to- tell- If he, or some one etea who
knows, would say whether Senator
Saunders- did- It,, or not, it would
greatly relieve-a-present publ'Jo anxi
ety. And we may as well say here
that) tbe people are satisfied regarding
Ihe disposition of the State appropriation-,
so voiunteeratatement makers
need no tell that old- story auy more.

writes to Mr. James Reed that the

offer a silver cup insoribed "State
Officers' Cup for 1880" as a premium
for superior, marksmanship at the
tournament of the State Sportsmen's
Association in NebrasbaJCity on the

The rumor that Paddock has for

plicate that cup, however, when it ar

guns to the prize list.

mit as a prize ten pounds of 22 carat

Wool.
The Rural New Yorker, excellent
authority, says :
There would be a "boom" ju3t now
in wool If there were enough of tha
domestic product in the market to
supply the demand. There is, per
haps, no brauch of agricultural in
dustry that is likely to pay so well
for at least the next decade as wool
growing. For the coming season high
prices are assured. Ail over the
oountry manufacturers are contract
ing for the next clip at very high fig
ures, while wool growers are in many
places in no hurry to close bargains,
preferring to wait for atlll better
prices later on. With the constantly
inoreuaing demand for wool In this
country and the present great inade
quacy of the home production, all en
terprising men can engage in wool
raiaing without any fear of overstock
ing the market for the next ten or
twelve years. If, in the meanwhile,
wool goes down, it will be because
other products do so likewise, not be
cause the supply will exceed the de
mand. Foot-rot has destroyed a large
proportion of the sheep in England,
drought has done the same for thous
ands,, aye, millions, of those In Aus
tralia and Buenos Ayres.; while Rus
sia aho has lost heavily from disease,
so that with an Inoreas!nj demand
for wool, tho supply for some time Is
likely to be smaller.

Diseased Kidneys and costive bowels are

that havo clogged them, and so renewing tbe
whole man. Hundreds testify to this.
IIknuy Leak. Ohio, writes :
I was taken hick InRt Wednesday with a
very severe Rheumatlo pain in my left
shoulder; I was so utwell that I could not
even turn myself around In bed. Having
heard of the curative qualities of St. Jacobs
OH, I concluded to try It. The firtt applica
tion brought relief, and on the subsequent
day I was able to go to work. I therefore
recommend this excellent remedy to all suff
erers with Khcumuttsm.

If the thousand that now have their rest
and comfort dotroyed by complication of
Liver and Kidney complaints would give

would be speedily cured. It acts on both or
gans a'i. the same time and therefore com
pletely fills tho bill for a perfect remedy. If
you have a lame back and disordered kid
neys use It at once. Don't neglect them,
"YV'lue Dairymen.
The convincing evldence-from the most
worthy and responsible sources, proving the-
great superiority of Perfocted Butter Color,
made by Wells. Richardson it Co., Burling
ton, Vt.. should bo pondered and accepted
by tho dairymen and farmers of this state.
They will bo wise If thpy keep clear of the
humbug powders, etc., and useonly this well
known color.

Kidney-Wort moves the bowels regularly,
cleanses the blood. and radically cures kid
ney disease, gravel, piles, bilious headache,
and pains which are caused by disordered
I.Ivor and Kidneys. Thousands have been
eured why should yon not try it ?
"rooked Hnertel."
Accept a thousand thanks for that Golden
Remedy. I suffered for many years with
rheumatic pains in my limbs, my legs were

"Crooked Haertel." I used St. Jacobs Oil.
and was cured, and now feel so well that I
think I could dance as In my young days.

An OJd.Otctor' Adrlce.
It was this; "Trust In God and keep your
bowels open." For this purpose many an
old doctor has advised the habitually costive
to take Kidney-Wort for no other remedy
so effectually overcomes this condition and
that without the distress and griping which
other medicines cause. It is a j ad leal cure for
piles. Don't fall to uso It.
Scraping j;i;o for TJuttcr.
Farmers wives have for years been In the
habit of scraping carrots to color their but

now prepared by the well known chemists,
Wells, RIohardson fc Co., of Burlington, Vt
and called Perfected Butter Color. It adds
to the keeping qualities of butter, and gives
a perfect June tint. It has. been adopted by
the leading dairymen everywhere.
