A Greeley newspaper man lately gave
notice that he intended to. spend fifty

a new head for the editor."

The "New Yorker Journal,'" a Gree

cago Tiibune, or some other mendacious
western sheet, the forged extracts from
alleged speeches of Senator Wilson, re

manliness to come out and retract it.

columns, viz : -
"Henry Wilson, the Republican can

ried that ha has ever "made that Know
Nothing speech contaiued ia western
papers, and copied by us. We consider
this as conclusive, and only regret that
among the Liberals, there is a scamp
who is capable of such forgeries?."
The scamp who invents such forgeries
is a gentleman compared with the scamp
who reiterates them day after day and re

Not corns, mind, but core, good Ne
braska corn, we propose to write about.
From every quarter comes the news
of good crops, big crops. Wheat, 25
bushels to 40 bushels to the acre ; oats,
C5, TO, 80 bushels to the acre ; and
corn, why, they laugh at 100 bushels
say that's small yield ; and Mr. L. says
he dor.'t know how they'll ever hu-k it.
Most of the ears are far above the reach
of ordinary mortal's arms. It has been
suggested that farmerscau driven wagon
through, and one man can stand on the
side board- and pull them down as the
team goes aloi.g ; but then the stalks
in the middle row are so stiff no team
could haul a waircn over them.
An entei prisiog German is about to
contract with Henry Boeck for 250,000
step-ladders, on wheels, so they can
push them rcuad from hill to hill and
gather the corn like they used to apples,
on low trees. The most practical sug
gestion comes from Stove creek, viz :
That men on horseback ride through the
field and pluck the coru in sacks fastened
to their saJdle-bows.
Seriously The corn crop of thi-
year is the largest and best ever known.
Many fields aro honestly estimated at
over one hundred bushels to the acre,
and farmers say if ru btorm comes they
would insure 75 or 80 bushels. On

on timber eve-, Nebraska can stump (?

How is this great curse to be removed?
By moral suasion, says one ; Enother,
by force of law. We must have moral
suasion first, that tho people may be
prepared for the reception and mainte
nance of law, for in a government like
our, where the enforcement of the law is
lodged in the hands of tho pooi.le, it
can be of no cs-ential service, unless it
is adopted and enforced by the popular
voice. The people tnut see an 1 ho cm-:
vinced of the evil before they will sus
tain a law suppressing the sale of liquor
as a beverage.
Are not the p-opl: nw convinced of
the enormity of the liquor traffic. I'hey
are doubtless convinced, but to arouse
to action. Oh, for a tongue to speak,
or the pen of greatness, intelligence and
power to demonstrate ! Man of intelli
gence,' possessed of education and a cul
tivated mind, yet indifferent ! the lather
indifferent th mother indifferent the
run'se'ler indifferent the iua:i with an
appetite for rum indifferent Chiistian'ty
indifferent ! The time was when the in
terests of this subject were not rightly
unde' stood and appreciated, but at
length light dawned upon our world,
and those who will not assist in an en
terprise to crush the sale ot intoxicating
liquors, or effect to oppose, or remain un
committed, give every reason to infer
that they, "love darkness rather than
light." Men cinnot be indifferent as
formerly on the great moral questions f.f
the day. 'Nations ordinarily p-is through
three revolutions. First, Foreign In
vasion. Second, Domestic troubles-
Third, Kevolution-i on moral questions.
Our government has passed through the
fiery ordeal of the two first, and now,
though almost uncon-ciou, we are on
the eve of the third revolution. Are we
paepared to meet the issue? It is
fore d upon us, shall we now retreat
from the open field of battle? If.mtu
dare to be for temperance, wo want them

craors no more drunken senators no
more drinking legislators no more leg

It i a subject of general remark
amontr both wholesale and retail drug
gi-ts, that no medicine introduced to th
American public has ever gained such a
poptlariiy and met with so large a sale
in all parts of the land, in the sam
length of time, as has Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery. This cannot de
peud upon its having been more largely
advertised than any other medicine, as
such is not t e case. Th correct expla
nation, we think, is found in the fact
that this medicine produces the mo.-t
wonderful aud perfect cures of very bad
cases of bronchial, throat and lung dis
eases, is undoubtedly the most perfect
and efficient remedy for all kinds of
coughs that has ever been introduced to
th-r public, and at the same time pos
sessess the greatest of blood purifying
and strengthening properties that medi
cal science has been able to produce,
thus rendering it a sovereign remedy,
not only in the care of consumption,
brenchiti", hoarseness, and cough-, but
also far all diseases of the liver and blood,
as scrofulous diseases, skin diseases,
blotches, rough skin, pimples, black
specks and discoloration.. It ha'there
fore, a wide range of application and
usefulness, and it not only gives thu
most perfect satisfaction to all who use
it, but far exceeds the expectations of
the most sanguine, thus eliciting the
loudest praise, and making permanent
living advertising mediums out cf all who
use it. For these reasons it is that there
is not perhaps a druggist in all the whole
domaiu of this continent, who tries to
please his customers and supply their
wants, that d e.s not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medicine
