NEBRASKA ADVERTISER
Emperor William is becoming very
feeble.
It is believed that Hon, Hntlm will
assist Scovill in closing the (iiiitoan
trial.
At Lynn, Mass.. a m an named Dris
eoll put a dose of laudanum in Conley's
boor to quiet him because ho was too
boisterous. Jt killed (.'onle.
From tho ruinous rulu of a freo
trado policy, or tliu oppression of mon
arch more or less absolute, 07,1)2!) immi
grants sought this land of freedom and
protection during tho month of (Mobur.
Inter Oram.
Guiteau requests noWBpaper report
era not to speak of him as "thy assas
sin," as it grates harshly on his nerves.
Ho would prefer to bo referred to as
"Mr. (Jititeau, who romoved the Presi
dent." Odd Fellowship appears to bo lloiirish
ing in Indiana. At tho recent meeting
of the (Jrand Lodge at Indianapolis,
700 delegates were present. During
tlio past year 8-10,(100 were paid for
relief of sick brothers.
Tlio best and smartest of men make
mistakes sometimes, (irant took Hel
knap into his cabinet and (Jarlield took
McVcagh. Tho former's wife sold a
post tradorship, and the latter winked
at tlio most enormous steal over perpe
trated on the government treasury.

Tho announcement from Washing
ton that "Jones was bailed out" is a n
mindor that if ho had been bailed out
before ho shot it might have prevented
his making a national fool of himself.
If there are any more Washington
cranks they would do well to practice
shooting awhile at barn doors and then
be thoroughly bailed out before thoy
tiro at (Suiteau. Inter Omni.
Mine I'atti gave a concert in Now
York for the benefit of thoso rendered
homeless and destitute by tho terrible
forest tires in Michigan this fall. The
receipts of the concert amounted to
about 810,000; but the sufferer. will
got only 8."i,r0(), as Mio managers sa,
the expenses are near 81.-100; and
everything is so high n.tw, you know.
Miss Clara Louisa Kellogg, the pr'ma
donna, aged :w will ore lone lead to the
hymonial alter, Mr. Klihha I). Whitney,
aged -10, a beer brewer and son of a
wealthy brewer of Philadelphia. From
tho stories told in the eastern papers
about some of Mr. Whitney's love
affairs, be is an accomplished rake, not
at all hard to lead into now and curious
pastures.
It is as much the duty of all good
men to protect and defend the reputa
tions of worthy public servants as to
detect public rascals, -.lames A. (far-
JMd.
That certainly is a sentiment which
all men who would bo true and just do
indorse, and always have practiced,
whether thoy be "good" or not. Fair
minded, brave, candid men, were
doubtless tho class embraced within
tlio meaning of (Jarllold, for men are
good only in legreo and bono absolute
ly so.
Jtov, Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, preach
ed an able sermon on Thankfulness,
from which we extract tho following
as full of good common sense, and
therefore good doctrine:
Wo aro also to be thankful that the
years which eomo now bring to nearly
all homos greatly reformed statements
of Christian doctrine. Had not tho
pulpit begun some years ago to preach
a more reasonable gospol, the masses of
our community would now be scolllng
infidels, perhaps such as once made
Paris a slaughter house of tho innocent
and tlio worthy. Thirty and forty
years ago, when tho rights of married
women to property wore discussed in
an adjoining state, it was shown from
scripture that women wore negatived
by tho idea of man, and that marriage
made hor poor as a slave; but within
recont days tho same Christianity has
mado tho wives in that state almost
equal partners in tho properly accumu
lated in tho married life. Tlio "revised
Testamont" is an unimportant event
compared with the revised creeds which
have boon appearing far in advance of
the improved vorsion of tho Bible.
Wo aro thankful that the christian
churches of this nation ate preaching a
religion full of reason, full of simplici
ty, full of good will from (Sod to man,
and from man to man. ruconsciously
or consciously all the denominations
aro teaching ideas which not only eomo
nearer being true than those hold by
our ancestors, but which also apply to
tho conduct of HTe, and help create
morality and happiness. So perfectly
iree ami Hold ts tho thought of nil per
sons, old and young, of our day, that
inoy win not accept a religion simply
because it was held by their fathers.
Thoy have become so accustomed to
abandoning the old wooden plow, and
tho old pack-horse, and tho old
spinning-wheel, and the old mall car
rier, and the old sickle, and the old
lamp and caudle, and the old sail-ship,
that thoy have become trained in the
practice of parting with tlio old, and
not longer will they worship at the al
tar of an irrational and cruel Cod.
That the nation is not a nation of mil
dels comes from the fact that all tint
churches have studied their doctrines,
and have hastened to declare (Sod to be
a loving father, and tho religion of
.Jesus to be a study of righteousness.

Postmaster Ceueral .lames hits made
his llrst annual report.
Tho total expenditures for the year
ending .Inly ;!, isi. were SJIDJfti,
7:i(l.4, the receipts 8;!n,7S;i.:i!)7.i7, leav
ing a detleit to he supplied out ot the
general treasury of $., IS1,1J1.:;., or 0.:5
per. cent ot tlio amount expended.
The receipts for tho vear were 8:5.
4 (I'J.Dl 8.0:1, io.4 per cent, more than
those of the preceding year, and 14.2
percent, moiothan tho estimate which
was made two years ago, before tho
present period of business prosperity
hud fairly begun, to which tlio increase
is in a large degree declared to be at
tributable. Tho annual increase of the national
postal business is estimated at S per
cent., hence the dellcit.
By careful reckoning, based upon an
actual count mado in every postoilico
in the t'nitetl States during the first
week in December, INKO, it was ascer
tained that the whole number of letters
mailed in this country in the last fiscal
year was 1.0ltl.l07,:tis. Tho number
reaching the dead letter ollice during
tlio sumo period as il.it'Jii.O'JI, or one
in every ;!!.". Tho amount of money
separated from dead letters for which
no claimant could be found was $tt,M t.
40, which was deposited in the treasury.
Tho number of domestic money orders
issued during the year was 7,(10:5, 2:i'', of
the aggregate value of 8lO."i.()7fi.7(l.:J.'.
There were -nil arrests mado during
thoyo.tr. The arrests are classified as
follows; Postmasters, 42; assistant
postmasters, II ; clerks in puslollicos,
l((; postal clerks and route agents, li;
letter-carriers, S; mail-curriers, 18;
other employes, (I; highwaymen, :50;
burglars, til ; all others, for various of
lensf's, 22:1.
The reduction of letter postage is
recommended to two cents.
Wo notice that some newspapers are
pulling "William itulstou Balch's Life
of (Jarlield." Many of them, doubtless,
would b far fiom recommending that
book had the read it. Three-font ths
of its pages are devoted to political har
angue intensely partisan in spirit ami
full of misrepresentations, anil false
hood. People who purchase a "Life of
Cariield" want it for a fainiiv book,
and free from partisan bias. At any
rate thoy generally do not want a po
litical document gotten up by a third
rate author, such as Balch. Judging
fiom thb literary reputation of Itov.
itidpath, not yet having read his book,
wo would think his to be the most
carefully and conscientiously compiled
life of the great and good President
now inviting the attention of families
of tho republic. At all events do not
lay out jour money for Balch's book or
you will find yourself swindled with
a neatly bound lie.

A Domagoguo Exposod.
FitiEM) FAiunuoTitint: -1 do not
read thudranger, because I never look
at it without becoming utterly disgust
ed with the insincere and hypocritical
stylo of its editorials. I positively be
lieve that (!. B. M. is not callable of be
ing candid, honest, manly, about any
thing. J, ike the medical expert said of
Uultoau, "if not deranged, he is cer
laiuly very badly nangcd." That
which provoked this article was a quo
tation from thu Ui'angii" in tlio articie
of "Prudoiuiu" in last week's Advkh
Tisi'.u. as follows: "The U ranger will
Jfght the. ptaile's battles "tt;. After the
elect ion Moore pi ocialniH with a flourish
of truinptits. and many false grimaces,
and idiotic smirks, that ho did it. Be
fore tho election he played a double and
unmanly part. I speak now especially
of the contest for clerk, as upon that
matter 1 happen to know whereof I
speak, and it is this: While Moore was
professing to desire tho election of ,Ioo
Docker, ho was at the same time under
a promise to Dr. MctJrow to help him
all ho could. I do not know to what
extent he assisted MoGrow, but I do
know of several annaront kindnesses
done him which wore sufficient to con
vince Mcdrew that Mooro was "solid"
for him. Tlio matter with Mooro was
ho was not sure which way tho cat
would finally jump; but really believed
with Wilcox and Docker both in tlio
Held, that Met J row would squeeze
through between thuin; and ho had to
play the double game, so easy for him
to play, so that lot the election go as it
would, ho could claim especial friend
ship with tho elect. There is another
thing generally known, I believe, cor
roborative of my charge. it is this:
Mooro hates Docker a good deal worm
than he does the devil, and lias over
since an occasion a few years ago
when thoy had a street quarrel, and
Moore ran for his stairway with tho toe
of .loo's ponderous boot in close prox
imity to his coat tail. In connection
with this which is still further cor
roborativethe reader may lake a ret
rospective view of the old days of gran
gerism, when a tie of love and friend
ship was formed between Mcdrowund
Moore which time and its changes have
never broken. And it is observable by
readers of human nuturo that the two.
have political characteristics which aro
strikingly similar. Ah, "tho Granger
will light the people's battiest" and
its editor would "give them away" for
a less money consideration than Judas
betrayed bis Master for. Ho was not
at heart with the people in tho last el
ection. He pledged his support to tlio
most obnoxious candidate over foisted
on the Republican party, being at the
Hiimo time a professed Democrat, a pro
fessed mongrel, a professed anything,
to bout the Uopuhliuu ticket. One
thing moro about "Prudontia's" egregi
ous, and we are done with him for tho
present: I notice that Monro is ped
dling to his subscribers the picture of a
sainted man whom a year ago he de
nounced in ovory issue of his miserable
paper, as a brilwjtaker and erjuror. It
was a standing charge in tlio Granger,
asitsreadoi-s will well remember, dur
ing tho presidential campaign, that
(Jarfleld bad boon bribed by Oakos
Ames and then swore to a lio in solf
viudieation. Was Moore a self-conscious
liar then, or is ho a domagoguo
now, or both V Yours, &!.,
