'70, & committee of the Labor Reform Party f this State, acting in unison with simi lar organizations throughout the count', will be held in the County Court Houmj in Omaha, to make nominations for the various State elective offices, which your yote shall confirm or reject at the ensu ing fall election. The basis of repre sentatives shall be ono delegate from each precinct throughout the State, the bui nessof the convention to be conducted in accordance with the rules of order and usages of the Labor Ileform Association. Hitherto the sysleni of nominations has been such, that you, while pre sumedly the arbiters of your own politi cal destiny. have actually had no voiJ whatever in placing in nomination for your suffrages the men you deem best qualified as your representatives to gov ern and administer your affairs. Hence the Labor Ileform Party, ignoring all ex isting political parties, and the prece dents which have been- established for their guidance, seeking the public good by an expression of the popular will, in vite the whole people of Nebraska to delegated mass convention, in the belief that their labors faithfully and judiciously performed must meet with universal ap probation, since the principles which di rect them is to secure a return to the primary system of government, vested by the constitution in ponular sover eignty, for the great benefit of the peo- rle and protection or our Democratic 'enublican in-titutions. The issues before the people are em bodied in the platform of this party, em bracing measures or Kadical progression. demanding the equitable adjustment of every adverse interest in the country without disturbing prerogatives conceded by custom or the law, otherwise than in conflict with the true interests of the country, or in antagonism to sound po litical economy and the stability of our government. Our aims are to establish an indentity of interest between the three divisions of labor, agricultural, mechanical and mental ; to secure tt the toiler an ac knowledgment of his inherent rights--andjust compensation for his labor; to discourage every effort at pauperizing the American workingmen by whatever moans attempted ; to secure a perma nent non-fluctuating currency, based ut.cn the wealth of the country, and sta bility of the Government; to regulate the inordinate rates of interest immedi ately chargeable upon the jeoplc ; to ad vance our commercial greatness, and en courage the development of our interna resources ; to require the adjustment of the tariff laws in conformity with there- 3 uirements of the whole country : to iscourace monopolies in whatever form however and wherever existing; to ce ment the Union of tha States in the bonds of universal fraternity compatible with justice, rational honor and great ness, and finally to achieve tho realiza tion of every hope of illimitable power and national superiority inculcated in the Declaration of Independence. You are invited upon these bases to nominate the raon your wisdom will dic tate be-it able for their accomplishment, ii respective of past political partie-. No lunger permit parties to divide you when your own interests and the interests of your country demand your united efforts in reforming the abuses of power which are weighing you down to the lowest depths of political and social degrada tion. Let j'our response to this p?.!l and the principles which have incited, to it be such as to entitle you to the esteem and gratitude of the whole people of these United States. t' Signed Clinton Driggs. State Executive. Frank Roonet, Secretary. ; The above was received soma days since, together with the "platform" of the Labor Reform Party, with the re quest that we. publish the above and in viting an expression of our views upon the latter. We give the publication as requested ; and as to our views in re gard to the "platform" and the entire movement, they are summed up in a very few words. We look upon the thing as a very silly efiort of a few very weak heads to climb into power upon this new dodge which i9 intended to captivate the minds and votes of the honest laborer. It may be this, or it may be a deeper scheme one to defeat the Republican party by drawing votes therefrom either of which is sufficient to condemn it It is almost too ridiculous to sup pose that men of ordinary intelligence expect to really accomplish any good by advocating what these men term "re form?,"' in the manner in which they propose- Did we have the remotest idea that any considerable number of people in Nebraska could le drawn away from their support of party principle by this weak subterfuge of a few sore headed hacks who have bcea heretofore set aside because neither of the groat par ties of the day had use for them, we should take the trouble to expose some of the fallacies embodied in the so-called "platform." But believing that the la- borers of the couutry are far more intel ligent than i he originarors of this scheme giva them credit for, and that they will at once understand that it is simply au effort to make a living by a few dema gogues who are too shiftless to labor themselves, we leave the matter, hoping the men who are seeking power as the projectors of this new party may not be mistaken as to our views, Col.'Fumas writes as follow of his trip from this city to Lincoln : Throuah '.'ass county, ia this State we found about the same condition of crops as in the Missouri bottom, on the other side of the river. To Lincoln w. went over the R. & M. R. R. n Ne braska, which leads through Cass and Saunders, and a portion ot Lancater, up the Platte and Salt Creek Valleys, through Ashland. Wc had never before traveled this route, and ackowiedge to delight and surprise. A tinfr body of land we have not seen,' with most flutter ing prospects of crops. Alonse Salt Creek, vafle. in Saunders . county, all kinds of crops were wanting rain' bad, however. The stinw of small grain was short, but the heads looked of good rize and plump.

The troops which have hitherto garri soned Paris have gone, and raw levies are slowly replacing theirf. " Ambulmces and caisons throng the sheets of the city on tbeir route to the East. The preparations at the different naval stations are on a similarly large s-cale, and it is the general belief here that war will be declared immediately. The declaration of war by the Corps Legidatif took place at ten minutes be fore 2 o'clock. Holland remains neutral, and the bel ligerents will probably respect her neu trality, yet the troops are rapidly con centrating at Antwerp and other strate getic points in the kingdom. The specie and bullion in the bank of Antwerp has been removed to the citadel. Paper money is to be issued in place of it. There is great agitation here, and many demonstrations in favor of the war were madebytho people. During the nighf, crowds of students and others paraded the, Ptreets chanting .VVive War," "Down with Prussia," Sic Some per sons who protested were hissed and in tuited.

A critical and conscientious house keeper recently gave the following rec ommendation to a "female help :" She has blnck eyes and black hair. When ever she comes home from a wake her eyes are blacker, and fdie has less hair by three or four handfuls. Emeline is en gaged, and her youn man is the most successful assimilator ol butter and sugar and milk, that ever emigrated from Ire land, lie is equal to any demand cf this kind upon bis stomach. Emeline has been vaccinated, but it didn't take. This is the only thing about Emeline that we know of that won't take. Spoons take, and hemstitched handker chiefs take, and she can nail more pillow cases and forks within a given time than auv other girl of the same hiza and weight iu the land of the free. Her ;iSunday out" comes twice a week, and she can wash stockings in the tca-kcttie more efficiently thau any living woman. Ht r way of taking care of a baby is to bold it upside down by the leg until it burets a blood vessel ; a:id if .she wa.-hes windows the never sluices water down on the pavement unless a man is g. ing by with a new high hat on ; then sh j slings it around by the tin cupfull. Eincline's most unpleasant peculiarity is that she always blows the gas out when she goe to bed; but it is better to encourage this practice in the hope that the will suffocate hcr:elf some night. She would be more efficient as a good, quiet, docile corpse than as a servant girl. 2UtW.E2. Jartrit JPlumitier Dritnueil Salt Creek. iu From tha Lincoln Statesman, July 1-3. J Ou Thursday aftcruoou atout 3 ti' clock, Jiitnos I'luiuuicr and a boy by the name of Wilson v.ctit down tn Salt Creek just above the datu at Yankee Hill, for the purpose of havintr a tath. Mr P. took o!T his clothes and waded in, and when about ten feet from the bank he sank down like a stone and did not rise. The boy became frightened and was about to run for help when Mr 1. rose to the top close to shore. The boy then pu ked up a stick and renched to him but he was unable to catch hold of it. aud without saying a vrord sank again and has not been seen since. The toy then gave the alarm and a number of persons com menced searching for the body, but to no effect, and up to 12 o'clock ui, to-day it has not been found. The Coroner wont over this morning and found that no one was looking fur the body, and aiuie back to town and got a wnetjn load of men who ere poinir this afternoon to continue the earch. The place where he was drowned is about City yards wida and the water is from live to fift-jpn feet deep. He had not been well for some days, ami the day being hot it is supposed he cramped as soon as he entered tha watr. Mr. l'lttiuiner was about 45 years old, and was from (.'harle-trwn, Mas., and has a wife and four children, the oldest a young man cf '20 years. Jle has bean in this place some month-, and was in spector of Stone work on the IS. Jk. M. railroad, and was re-pe- ted by ail who knew hiui. lie had made arran jements to have his family removed here the first of next month. Th; Coroner has irstol next month, llio U-ironor nr.s I Cll'irn- m clients an i w.ii noi.j nn inouet as noon as the body is found. The Superintendent of thi road tele graphed to his family yesterday morn- The Urn press Kngeu;e has prooiied to give a contiruiation dress to ev:rj child whose ather or mother shall address a demand for it, su p ported br the clerieal authorities. This is thanksgiving for the rosult of the plebiscite. It matters not how oitn von stoop, if what you stoop for is worth picking up. Bo NO. 10. FOII SALE.
