The Omaha Dec publi.shes the call f r
the Cincinnati Convention, but refuses
to endorse it. it says:
We wish it to be ch-aily understood
that the publication of it does not com
mit us to any f-pecia! course of act'on ;
but as Republicans, we do not feel at
liberty to refuse the request of any con
siderable body of the paitjj whose object
is to promote its welfare. -
We do not deny that we look forward
with a good deal of interest to the action
of the Cincinnati Convention. It will in
our judUient, be en imposing and influ
ential asseiublajr, tha result of whose
action will be felt largely ia the future.
It will undoubtedly be Republican
through and through. The men who
compose it will bo among the tried arid
trusted !eaders of the pat ty, nay, its ere
ators, whose words and acts no trus Re
publican can entirely ignore. The
movement is one designed, we believe,
not to disrupt, but to unite and strength
en the party ; to keep alive and put in
force the principles that have mada it
what it is." -
Why docs not the Bee also publish a
list of that "considerable body of the
party" who so much desire to "promote
its welfare"?
TI1K V. P. K. K. .II ITS COXXKC
iioxx, A bill has been introduced in Con
grcss to provide for the enforcement of
that part of the charter of the U. P. R.
R. which compels that line to receive
freights from all connecting lines, with
out distinction or favor, and forbids dis
crimination in rat03 against any such
lines. We take the following synop.-is
of this bill from the N. Y. Sun :
This bill provides that it shall be law
ful for any one or more of the com pa
nies named in the acts of Congress au
thorizing the construction of those roads,
or in any of the laws amendatory cf
these acts, which thall have an interest
in enforcing their requir'tuenta in rela
tion to the transporton of passengers and
freight over the line of the Union Pa
cific Railroad or any of its branches, To
commence suits, either in equity or by
action at law, in any Circuit or Tento
rial Court having jurisdiction of the
cause, against any of the companies for a
refusal to comply with such requirements,
or for a violation of any provision of the
acts of Congress on this subject. And it
is provided that on the final heating of
such suit the Court may proceed to ren
der a judgment or decree for damages,
and enforce its judgment by sequestra
tion and sale of the road and other prop
erty of the offending company, and if
necessary decree a foifeitur3 of the char
ter of the company aaj a deprivation
of its corporate right.?.
The bill also provides that any person
injured by the act of any one of these
companies, in violation of its duty as
enjoined by law, may sue and recover in
like manner. Another provision author
izes the Secretary of the Interior to fix
a schedule of rates prescribing the
amount to be charged and received by
each company. for transporting passen
gers and freight in case that the Union
Pacific Company and any two or more of
the branches cannot agree upon term.
The schedule so fixed is to be bindi ig
on the companies, snd if either ore of
them ehoul J fail to abide by its rates, the
Secretary may cause buch road to be
seized and sold.
This bill is very stringent, and its pe
nalties so severe that if it should be
come a law there would be little danger
of its provisions being disregarded.
There is no doubt that the Union Pacific
has pursed an arbitrary course toward
its connection, and that they are entitled
to relief from Congress, since no specific
remedy lias been provided for any in
fringements of the lights, guaranteed
them by law.

'tendering of llo
pitnlitie. From the St. Louis Republican. April 20.
The Nebraska railroad delegates had
a confereuco yesterday morning with the
directors of the Missouri Pacific railroad,
at tlie office of tho latter, corner of
Sixth and Olive, in reference to estab
lishing direct railroad connection between
St. Louis nnd Omaha. There were
present on the part of the Pacific rail
road, President Brown and five of the
eleven directors. After tha uual com
pliments, Mayor Brown remarked that
this was an informal meeting, and he
would be pleased to hear any statement
from the Nebraska gentlemen.
Ex-Mayor Caldwell of Omaha stated
the purpose of their visit. The people
of Nebraska we;e anxious to ascertain
whether St. Louis was 6ilicitom for a
cl )se connection with the Northwest.
lie expatiated at some length on the ad
vantages of a through line betw cn
St. Louis and Omaha on the west side of
tho Missouri river. This would also
connect with the road going north to
Sioux City and St. Paul. They needed
present aid to construct the link between
Fails City and Piattsmouth, in order to
complete the connection by a grand
trunk line. Tha propositions that they
would make to the Missouri Pacific were
as follows: That they, the Nebraska
people, would furnish a subsidy of $5 -(JOG
per mile if the Missouri Pacific
company would give them a like subsidy
they would build tho road ; or third :
they would put in an equal amount with
the Pacific company and build tlie road
together.
Mayor Brown remarked that St. Louis
was aiive to the importance of the con
nection, lie would like to know if sur
veys had been made with a view to ascer
taining the cost. The Joy link north from
Atchison was a great difficulty. Anoth
er point was that the road to be con
tt ue'cd is entirely without this Stater
Mr. Caldwell said that only forty-seven'
miles of Mr. Joy's road would be needed,
and if satisfactory arrangements could
not be made they could build another
along side.
Mr. J- A. norbach said that the Ne
braska trunk had already two offers to
construct the required fink. Tr.e Union
Pacifie would build it inside of twelve
months. Jf the Missouri Pacific would
take $400,000 of the stock, Nebraska
capital will build the road, and when
built will turn it over to the St. Louis
company.
Mayor Brown said it was his purpose
to make inquiries so as to lay the matter
before a meeting of their Board. He
wanted all the facts so that they could
act upon it.
Mr. Ilorhacli t-tated that the bonds
issued by the precincts were similar to
those issued by Iowa twenty-year bonds
at eight per cent, interest.
In reply to a question. Mr. D. II.
Wheeler stated that, provided the Pa
cifie com pari would guarantee the first
mortgage bonds, they would build the
road and lease it t the Pacifie company
in cas.e the latter subscribed $100,000 to
the stock. Iu answer to Col. Leighton
it was stated that a bridge could be built
across the Platte at a cost of not over
$50,000.
Ex-Gov. Saunders said that tho ques
tion of aid was certain, but there was a
choico as to who should givo it.
Two companies stood ready to con
struct the link. The statement was re
iterated by Mr. Caldwell, who said that
they had proposals from the Union Pa
cifie road, but they preferred a connec
tion with St. lxiuis interests. It would
really form the terminus of the Union
IVciGc road. The Missouri Pacific now
has at present, no connection with Oma
ha, and tli i North Missouri does all the
trade.
Mayor Brown said his road had a di
rect connection with Council IJIuffs and
runs a through car there. The North
Missouri carried the freight. It was
not the mo.-t desirable condition of mat
ters by any means.
Mr. T. B. EJgar inquired if the route
by St. Joseph and F- rt Kearney is not
shorter than that via Omaha. I he an
swer was that it was shorter by the Fort
Kearney route.
Ex-Gox. Saunders dwelt at some
length on the advantages of the pro
posed route to St. Louis. It is a natu
ral valley route, and he desired the con
nection. He always had a warm inte
rest in St. Louis. The worst part had
been surmounted and there was only a
gap of 100 miles along a route of 500
miles to complete. They did not come
here as begtrars, but to give and take
to join hands in the work
A running conversation followed, when
Deacon J. S. Mi l;r took the floor, and
ii some humorous remarks compared
the conference to a love feast. He said
Chicago thinks it owns Nebraska a.nd
will fight hard to hold it. There is
hardly a St. Louis man in Nebraska;
ail are Chicago men. There was a Chi
cago man by instinc. If Chicago
thonght ihsro was tiny danger they
would bay up the bri'ie. Sr. Louis
will have to wake up. It was u w their
opportunity, i'nd it anything wa to be
dona it nir.t be done now. Suppose
Joy builds the road, St. Louis will lose
more in a year than it would co.st to con
struct the eMire road.
3Iayor Brown said h-i liked the way
in which. Mr. Miller talKid. He gave
them fcome pretty hard rubs, and proba
bly they deserved this to some extent.
On the other hand, Chicago controls a
large number of roads, but the did not
own them. As to the charge of oil to
gyism, he tepelled it by repeating tho
names of the raihoads that St. Louis
had contributed in building, most of
which were St. Louis entcrpii-es. The
State had expei.ded for railroads $17,
000,000, and St Louis $2,000,000.
There were men in that room each of
whom owned more railroad stock th m
any six men they co$!d select in Chica
go. None of them receive any divi
deruls as yet. He himself was carrying
moro stoc:k than he should do, but he
did it tor the benefit cf the city. At
present they were in connection with
Texas, and the Atlantic and Pacific is
stretohing out towards the Pacific sea
board alorc the thirty-fifth parallel.
And next Sunday he would start for San
Francisco to confer on the feasibility of
the extension of the line from California
this way. He assured the gentlemen
that he would call a meeting of the
board of directors to consider the propo
sition made by them, which, at the sug
gestion of Mr. Bridge, will be hold this
morning at y o'clock. lie would do all
in his power to further the project, but
what tho board would decide upon re
mained for them. He suggested the
appointment of a corresponding commit
tee on the part of the Nebra.-ka gentle
men. The conference then terminated.
OOM.'.imKK OX COllllESPOXliENCE.
The Nebraska delegates subsequently
held a meeting and appointed tho f Slow
ing committee of correspondence :
Messrs. S. S. Caldwell, J. A. Horback,
J. Y. Clopn.r, Elam Clark and D. H.
Wheeler. This con. mi tee will remain

REMARKS OF MR. Ii. V. TANSKT.
Mr. Tansey said :
Gentlemen of the Exchange : You
are called together to-day to receive h
delegation from the city of Omaha and
the St::te of Nebraska, who desi-e to
present to you a project for a-rail con
nection between our city and Omaha.
I would request the member of the Ex
change to give as much attention as pos
sible, e-tii -intent with their regular busi
ues-, to the address of the Omaha Rele
gation. Addressing the gentlemen on ihe plat
form, Mr. Tansey said: Gentlemen of
the State of Nebraska and city of Oma
ha : On behalf of the Union .Mer
chant's Exchange of St Louis, the duty
falls on me as pre.-ident, and a pleasaut
duty it ij, to extend to you a uiot cor
dial wilo-jme to cur Exchange and city.
We with to express the gratilh'ation we
feel at thu interest manifested by you in
the city of St. Ijoui.-i, an i to assure you
of our heartfelt sympathy for the pro
ject you have formed for completing a
railroad onnectiou between St. Luis
and Omaha on the we t tide of the Mi.
souri river. Tho time has gone by when
grent ce-ntras of trade were built up
solely by their natural advantages.
Itivers, in certain seasons of thd year,
offer easy, cheap auJ expeditious meant
of communieatiuii. At other seasons
they ar. obstructed by natural di3i cut
ties which impede navigation aad cause
great loss. Tha tiaie has parsed by
when we could rely on them exclusively,
llcncc tho noce-sity of a railway which
shall be potent alike againt the snows
of winter and the heat of summer. I
take occasion to say, gcntLincn of Oaia
ha, that fifteen years ago Mr. llorba.-h
of Oiualia assured o-j that Omaha
would be a great ' commercial centre;
that it was to be to the Missouri valley
what St. Liu: j is to the Mi.-sisii pi. i
am gUd to say that he proved a true
prolific, and I b-.lievj the energy and
enterprise that in a few years built up
that magnificent city wilt not allow a
project like this to slumber. In this un
dertaking you will have and ought to
have the c-j-operaiion of every merchant
of St. Louis. I will not delay you by
discuisin; its merit?. They t n beyond
all question ; there in no room fot doubt.
We hope you will remain with us long
enough to examine our city, and become
acquainted with our people. We bi
lieve we have something materia!, phys
ical, montal aul moral of which wj may
be justly proud, and which it may bn to
your advantage to know. We should
have been gla 1 to see you at a more pro
pitious season, when th i bloom of sprin j
or verdure of summer had lent their at
tractions to the oceason. As it N, you
are heartily welcome to our city.
I Cheers. J
Gentlemen of the Exchange, I have
the honor to introduce to you Gov.
Saunders of Nebraska. Cheers
REMARKS OF HON". A. SAUNHER-3.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of tle
Exchange : I wish I had the power to
return in a suitable manner the thanks
of our people for the generous reception
and the generous manner in which we
have been introduced to yon this morn
ing. Ve came here, gentlemen, to talk
to you for a short time in a busiuess-like
way, aud on business that is equally bene
ficial to you as to us and the people that
wo represent. I know that this is no
place for a long speech, and if I were in
the habit of making long speeches, I
would not make one on this occasion.
Business men never want to hear long
speeches on any one subject ; they want
abort speeches and to the point. I
know something of it, becau-e i have
had something to do with business my
self. But, gentlemen, we have business
to talk to you and, and you are the men
we must talk it tw. It is the live, active
busine.-s-mf n of a city tLat mike a city ;
it is that kind of men who make adui
try, aud it is to you that we must appeal
rather than to those whom you may
think we should talk those who may
possess more money than you possess.
The wealth of the country does not al
ways belong to the class of men that arc
doing the work of the country. I am
aware of that, gentlemen, and I am
aware that you have had the name of
being called a little old "fogyish" ; and I
believe, in years ago, that you were a
little so- But I read in the intelligent
eyes I see around me a change in this
this thing, and I believe if you have any
old fogies you have driven them
out, at least from this buildin?,
and left thorn to do some other work,
in some other place. 1 have to say to
you that we are here to talk to you
a! o it railroads. We think you ought
to ha connected with Omaha and the
izrcat Northwest by a trunk line. You
have your railroads running iu here
your short lines you have a great city
already built up, and you may some of
you feel independent, and feel that you
have quite enough. But, gentlemen,
you must keep pice with the other ckies
around you. You do not want t( be
distanced in this rac for power and for
prestige, and consequently you cannot
afford to stand still and let these cities
get ahead of you, and if they throw out
their arms and reach for this trade, you
must do so too Now, gentlemen, it has
been said, and wisely, that God made
the rivers and valleys, but the people
made the railroads and bridges, and they
crossed them and have got some trade
that belonged to you in the da.vs that
are gone. But you can recover it all,
beeaue these same valleys make natural
channels for railroads, and iho day3 are
passed and gone when it is said that
north and south railroads do not pay.
By building this link from Rulo to the
Platte River, whieh'is, perhaps, a little
less than ninety miles, you give St. Louis
a continuous connecting line of road, not
onlv to Omaha and then with tho Union
Pacifie, but you there connect with the
Omaha and Northwestern road, now
built about fifty miles, but which in n
few months mora will be to the mouth of
the Niobrara river, which is the line be
tween Nebraska and Dakota territory.
And this road, ere many years, will be
continued on up the Missouri valley to a
connection with the Northern Pacific
road, thus giving St. Louis tli9 advan
tages of the trade from that road, and
abo cf th trade of .Montana, Dakota.
Here, sir, is a line that will soon reach
out for a distance of fifteen hund.ed
miles to tho northwest And, let me
say to you, that, perhaps a bitter wheat
growing country than this same North
trn N'jbraka and Dakota is, perhaps,
not found in America. Is this not
worthy the attention of your business
men? If Omaha had th capital to
spare in that way, she would not be here
seeking far partners in the work, but she
would most willingly risk the chances of
profit, and do the work herself.
It seems wo uro almost ready to be
woed and wed, and we might almost say
to you, as the poet f aid
"Whistle and I'll come to yon, tny I ml."
All, you have to do i to whistle and
we will come to you. Cheer.
Mr. Saunders then said that the po
pie of Nebraska were ready to give
$5,000 per mile if St. Louis will build
the road, or if St. Louis will give that
sum they will build it, or they would
both jointly build and own it. He re
ferred to the interview had that morning
r t th offi -e of the Pacific railroad, and
called upon the nrerchants to give the
directors of the latter every support and
encouragement in taking hold of the en
ter prise
At the c'ose of lis remarks the meet
ing adjourned.

The forms of tha order consist in a
National Grange, established here at
Washington, the nation il capital, with
provision for State Granges iu all of
States, and subordinate Granges in coun
ties and towns, wherever tho producers
may ehoose to organize them. Its so
cier .consists in membership of all who
are engaged or interested in the pres

prising parents of both sexes, with their
children thus embracing the entire
family requiring the fraternal pledge
of all to truth, honor, and fidelity to
each other and the Order, with secret or
confidential means of recngnition and
admission into the GraDges or Lodges.
Such is tho form and constructin of the

Fort Smith New ErU of the 17th has
particulars of a terrible fight which oc
curred on tho 15th inst. , at Going Snake
Court Hou-e, Indian Territory, between
a party of Indians and half breeds, and
deputy Marshals Owens and Peavy and
posse of nine men. A desperado named
Proctor wa eri trial for the murder of
his wife and the Marshals pose had gone
to the Court House in order if he was ac
quitted to arrest him on a charge of mur
dering the Cherokee wife of a white man
named Kesterson, and attempting to kill
Ivesterson himsclt. W hen the pose got
within about fifty yards of the Court
House they sent one of their meaib;?r.?,
Beck, a Cherokee, to reconoitre. He
had no sooner showed his face at the
Cmirt House door when partis xn i of
Proctor who were resent in lare num
bers armed to the teeth and who appeal
ed to be expecting the Marshals posse,
opened fire ou the latter and in a few
minutes had killed seven, meantime some
of Becks triends in-ide t he Court House
recognizing him begin to fire on the par
ty inside killingthree altogether; Some
fifteen or sixteen were wounded, and at
leat teu killed Tho Judge who was
holding the Court was wounded in the
knie and the Sheriff was killed. Deputy
IT. S. Marshal Owens was killed,' but
Marshal Peavy escaped and i-ent to Foit
Smith for reinforcements. A mounted
force of thirty armed men under com
mand of ex-deputy U. S. Marshal Rob
inson, luve started for the scene of the
conflict. A demand has been made cn
the authorities of the Nation to assist in
capturing the murderers dead or alive.
Proctor is the man who killed the U. S.
Marshal Bentz, some tiaie ago and is a
dangerous character.
A new safe has been invented which
makes things very unpleasant for Lur

ADanishman, li ving in Saunders coun
ty, recently traded for a pair of horses ;
and after keeping tlicm for a short time,
found bo" h were diseased. He took them
back to the party selling, and made him
trade back. On taking his other team to
the stable, one of his neighbors told him
to smoke in the stable, which would re
move ail traces of the disea-e. He tried
this and it was an effectual remedy the
next morning all traces of the disease,
horses and stable were gone a fire had
removed all danger of disease. Fremont

Mexican news might baffle Argus, in
an endeavor to get at the truth. The

power of resurrection such as no other

apparently thought better of dying, or

Cortina i killed one (iay and wins a vic

new government is in its turn, Lroken

this that the popular charge of indo

A party of men animatedly engaged in

From the St. Luis Journal of Oommorce
lie leaned up eonfidentially against a
post and said, "This St. Louis is quite a
town afrer all." The speaker was a Ne
braska delegate, a tall, vigorous speci
men of physical manhoo 1, earless'y dress
ed, in the western fashion, which forbids
anything in the shape of "toggery." "Up
there in Nebraska," continued he, "we
are as wicked as our limited resources
will permit m, but the fact of it is. we are
too restricted and have to be virtuous
from force of circumstances. "
Thespeaker gazed benignly down upon
a newspaper reporter, who had been
mildly pumping the delegate about the
object of his visit, and what they expect
ed to accomplish.
"Look here," resumed he, "lam
blamed if wc hav'nt had tlie nicest time
you ever saw, since coming here, and I
don't mind telling you about it, 'eauso
we had such fun with one of our fellows,
who. at hoaie, is the bluest member of
the church you could wish to see. Well,
since our coming here, we have taken
that poor man through every place in
this city, where the elephant grazes and
occasionally he has caught full glimpses
of the graceful animal as it browsed upon
its native herbage. But come let's liquor
first, on I then I'll tell you the story of
our fir-t night's tramp afterward."
The man of iteuo, humbly dropped his
eyes at this, and murmured that he W3S
president of a little band of hope, which
was sworn to never, never drink anything
but cold water.
The N'ebriska man at this looked
scornfully at his boot, and evinced such
a disgust at the turn of affairs, that the
reporter, rather than lose the story, de
cided not to disturb the social flow of the
braskian, and sacrificed himself with
a sigh on the altar of a very little gin and
less water.
After the rites at the bar ha J been per
formed, cigars were lighted, and the Ne
braskian placed the back of Ids head and
the upper portion of his shoulders in a
chair, while tho rest cf his body grace
fully undulated in the direction of his
boots, which reposed gently on the window-sill,
several feet above his head.
The grim Nebraskian's first remark was :
"Of course this is 'entrees.'" 'Oh, cer
tainly," was the reply.
The man of the north heaved a sigh of
relief, chuckled with delight at his hu
morous thoughts, ran his hands through
his hair, gave a little kick, and a -gurgling,
"oh, d n if," under his breath as
he began : "Well, vou see. it isn.t evrv
day we fellows come to a big city a good
ways from home, where no ouc; knows
u, when wo came hete, decided to make
the most of our opportunities. The sec
ond night we were here we decided to
have a screaming old time. Hang it all
when a man is away from home, that is
the time to do those things. We have
got one old chap along with us whom we
call the "Presbyterian", who is so strict
and blue at home. Well, soineofthe
boys said, we'd never get him to go
arourH, because he prayed too loud at
home. But I knew my man. I got at
him and persuaded him he need only go
and look on. Said I to him : You need
to see life once in a while. We'll show
you the elvphant, and just as sure as
your alive i know you II enjoy it. It
would have made you die a' laughing to
see the old fellow's eyes glisten as I de
scribed the beautiful habits of the ele
phant. Finally "Presbyterian" ejacu
lated: "Weill suppo-o one ought to
know about these things and as no one
will know of it," the harm Ciiunot be
very great.
The Nebraskian chuckled again quietly
at this juncture, shifted the position of
his feet to a sunnier corner of thj win
dow, and resumed : The Sit place we
visited was tho Yarieties Theater. We
engaged a lower box, and ordered in the
drinks. "Presbyterian' looked kind a
unev.iifirtable, but rather interested.
He had never attended tlieat res much,
and only at shows of the moral drama.
Pretty soon, after we had been there
about a minute, out scooted a little white
elephant, wit h g ii'.-j trimmings, and the
way it kicked and squalled, fairly made
us yell with laughter. "Pre-byte'riaii"
would get warmed up now and then, and
not blush more than nine-tenth of the
time, as the pink legs and bare bosom of
the little elephant skipped to and fio on
the stag. He got to drinking to steady
his nerves, buf a gay group of blonde
elephants in ona of the upper bos.es,
kept up fire from su'-h a battery of'
thriili.:g glances, beami- g upon our box
that he tol l me in a whisper, that he fett
as if his moral bulwarks were giving wa
Well sir, the way we run that poor fel
low after that, wo went to about, twenty
houses where the elephant resides, and
the amount of champaign cocktails we
drank, and the sweet talks we had were
just screaming, 'Presbyterian' got the
most reckless of us all. Instead of our
leading him he would lead u, with his
old beaver jammed jauntily over his left
car, he became as bold as tin most dissi
pated man going. He would order up
the drinks, and chuck the elephant un
der the chin in a most demoralizing way.
Just what his parson would h i ve thought
of him, if he had only seen Lim there, I
couldn't say. Such a trip as we had.
The elephant had such aftrnetions for
"Preshyferinn " that we di 1 n,t rot
back to the Southern until about three
in the morning. The porters had to car
ry "Presbyterian" up s airs, and were
made the subject, of touching confidences
which he poured into their ears.
The Nebraskian paused. His cigar
was out. Waving the hand that held the
stump gently in the air he said, "Why
is;t that married men are so rampagenous
when away from home?" He said no
more: The conundrum yet remains un
answered. The French government make quick
work with their representatives in this
country who conspire with disaffected
politicians to aid them in their attempt
to create disaffection towards the admin
istration. We clip the following night
despatch from Washington thowinghow
the French Charge D' Affairs was dispos
ed of:
It was mentioned some days asro in
the--n dispatches that the French Charge
I)' Affairs, Uelormet, was liable to pet in
to trouble, on account of the manner in
which he had permitted Chambrun to use
the legation archives in setting on fiot
and c-irrying on the investigation of the
sides ofarms. When Secretary Relknap's
letter to Secretary FNh was coniiuursicat
ed by letter to the French legation, and
first appeared in Smnners preamble. Mr.
Fish demanded of Relonnet an explana
tion, receiving a discourteous an.-wer.
This was sent to Minister Washburn,
who laid it before the French rrovernment
and the result is an order transferring
Relonnet to Portugal.

Lincoln, April 20, 1872.
Dear Herald: Agnin I fin 1 myself a
citizen of Lincoln, tho proud Capital of
Nebraska, and. the Indianapolis of thc
West.
Progression, in her distribution of
wonders throughout the world, has cei
tainly favored this section of our young
but prosperous State. Here, where but
a few brief years ago the Aboriginese
prowled, and sang their original chanson-,
and conversed in their illiterate dialect
and ways ; and bisons roamed in counties
numbers and unmolested ; and Nature
was as blank as the heavens above it, now
contains over six thousand souls thc
denizens cf a city unparalled in thc on
nals of history for its rapid growth, its
wealth, its sociability, its educational ad
vantages, its commercial bearing on the
world, its railroad facilities, its newspa
pers, (the world moving mediums of all
sections and countries, ) its religion, its
morality, its everything all these things
wrought about since scarcely five years
ago.
Lincoln ! thc Capital of Nebraska ; the
center of the United State: the "name,
sake" of the Savior of our glorious coun
try; Why is it not a city of much im
port ?
As Lincoln increases in size, she nat
urally "takes on" the ways of her older
and more densely populated sister; she
becomes more and nioro enf hronged with
"ways that are dark" and varied. She
becomes more fashionable and fhowy ;
men walk with lighter, quicker step;
women (the do-nothing, very nice ones)
stick up thi ir pretty little "posie nosics"
higher and u"igher,'aud the poorer and
less fashimnble classes drop lower and
lower beneath their notice. This 'u city
for you this cursed custom prevails too
much in our large cities all over the
world.
Ah 1 ye whose select forms graco a
rallatial villa, beware ! to-day you are
rich and proud : tomorrow misfortune
may sweep over you and leave you as
poor as a church mouse. The millionaires
of Chicago one day lived high fared
sumotuously, perhaps little caring or
dreaming that hundreds, yea thousands,
were suffering and starving for bread
aroand them. The next day their rich
es took wings and flew away, and they
sat down with thc hungry sons of penury
and ate hard bread and drank water, pen
niless. Riches is not bad, when it is ac
companied with benevolence and heman
feeling. Poor Robert Burns once said in
language something like this :
"Man's inhumanity to man
Males fuuntlcss thousands mourn."
But I didn't start out to write an es
say ; so please excuse the strain.
Last Sabbath I had the pleasure of
listening to a sermon by the popular Rev.
Geo. S. Alexander, formerly cf Nebras

small in stature, but large in the minis-
try. He demonstrated e'learly the fact
that "the harvest is picutcou, but tlie
laborers few."
Rev. J, J. Rob-Tts, for a Miuibcr t f
years Pastor of the M. E. Church of
your city, an! recently Pastor of the same
Church in thi.s city, is lyin very low
with sickness, and is not ex pet ted to sur
vive many day?. The numerous fiionds
of Mr. Roberts will be pained to learn
this, for he had few equals as a sound
preacher, a thorough .scholar, and a man
of character.
Your former townsman and editor, II.
