THCSS B3XTS.
. To bond or not to bond, that's the
question now. Whether 'tis best to
6uffer with corn at 15 cents a bushel
or by vot"mg bonds, against a
sea of opposition, rush into debt and end
our present troubles. Aye,
there's tho rub ' The fear of debt, the
scorn cf being swindled, leads us to
rather bear the ills we have, than fiy to
others that wo know not of.
This seems to be about the idea that
most of cur people entertain on the
bond question. Lot us see how far they
are correct, and if there is any benefit to
be derived to the State of Nebraska and
the county of Ca3, by voting any kind
ft f rsilroftil l.ni.
Tho n,n h1 manner of trtir,.- this sub-
;..f i.w Lnrf hnrn Pd.torH. is to snv
"Vote for the bonis, they'll make you
all rich." if they harden to favor the r.ar-
ticular scheme in hand, and to shout
"T- fhp.m alone, don't vote a bond,
it'll r,n vn. and impoverish the whole
country," if they are opposed to bonds,
for any giren purpose.
As a generfcl thicg, and as far as there
is any principle concerned in the matter,
the Herald is opposed to bonds of all
kinds, and believes in every man and
every set of men paddling tbeir own
canoe, withoutsking fiid from their
neighbors, or any one else ; but in tha
case of this Trunk road there is such a
& i r
plain array of facts, showing that we as
a pecp'. iad a State are suffering for
the want of ut,h a railroad, and that we
are Joir.g ourselves and our children
.-fixocg by not making an effcrt to secure
the same - now while there is a
chanco. that without urging anybody
particularly to rote bonds, we propo.se to
and
i;. : k
i.hv iilo above me
ntionod he wi'I "fly to.
One cf the first questions w are
ai-ked is, what right have the railroad
companies to ask us to give bonds?
Why ak the people to build a road for
thcin.n J then have them gobble all the
proceeds? There is no right, and the
best railroad manipulators never set up
any such a claim. The facts are, you
want a road, or pctne of you think you
do, and you are bound to have it. The
coujpany have the money or can get it
with certain aid to build the ame;
and Ihcn it becomes a fquare matter of
business by tho ccoipany on one tide
trying for all they can get, and the peo
ple on the other trying to get off with
as little as possible. We shall quit all
arguments then as to the right. or the
wrongs of the thing, and argue the mat
ter on a basis of dirty luere-ous dollars
and cents. "
WHAT WE IIATE DOSE.
For years tho State of Nebraska haa
tried her level best to eee much money
she could possibly send out of the State
in every possible way, without receiving
due compensation io return and stand
up under it. It has brought us down
p etty low, but we have survived this
drain a greater drain than the great
State of Pennsylvania or New York
could ftand.for ten years and not become
lankru. t. So much for being a great
Agricultural State.
We have sent this 'money away for
good.-, wagons, plows, horses, cattle,
iron, coal, salt, &c , &c. Last, but not
least, we sen? it away by railroad on
freight, by express, and in passenger
cars, in eating and drinking by the way
side, whenever we travel up and down
the river, or visit our State capital.
Nebraska gave 75 sections of land for
a road from Sioux City down the Iowa
side of the Missouri river to Missouri
Valley Junction (opposite Blair) and in
addition to that whenever our citizens
want to visit Lincoln or Omaha
from. the upper counties, they cross
over into Iowa, travel down on that side,
drop a little money all along the way
and finally bring up at Lincoln dead
broke, borrow some "scads" of a friend,
there, and travtl throtigh Iowa back.
Same thing when the people of Omaha
or Cass county want to go south over
io Iowa down the river and back. All
freight goes through the same pioces
Much of this money would be left in Ne
braska to Hotel men, to stage men, to
hundreds cf cur citizens and the profits
of their business spent in our home
towo3 if we had a Trunk road on the
Nebraska side.
WHAT WE NEED.
All the roads now crossing this State
I from the east, and running through OUT
gtate WCi,tWard, leave nothing with U.
comparatively, and cannot, from the na
I ture of their bu.MUSSS, and the direction
lrl,:f,J, tl-r-tr rnn
u uw- y a wa
It seems to be a settled fact that the
great roads cast and west leading acros
the continent, have all they can do to
carry valuable merchandise and perish
able goods that will warrant higher rates
of freight than we can afford to pay on
the three great staples that we need, and
must have, viz: Lumber, iron, and coal.
We want and must have a road running
northwesterly to the great lumber re
gions of Minnesota, and souther'y to the
coal ani iron rsgions of Missouri. This
road cannot d the immense passenger
and short time freight business that east
and west roads now have, consequently,
it will fit up and prepare itself fur carry
ing these heavy and useful articles at
such rates as the farmers can pay, and
we make no dcubt that both coal and
lumber will be reduced 50 per cent,
whenever the great Trunk north and
south gets fairly in running order.
Again, your grain can be shipped to
a southern and a southwestern seaboard
market at much less rates thaa we now
psy, and the days of 15 cent corn and 10
cent oats will disappear forever
give us local rates, that we can live and
thrive by ; and until Nebraska does get
this, all her other railroads are but as
ships loaded with valuable goods passing
over the ocean. The sea is not enriched
by thei. transit except they founder
by the way and no more is Nebraska
enriched by being the land ocean foran
immense business.
Citizens of Plattsmouth, come up to
High School Hill, get above Tlatts-
inoutb once, and take a survey over your
State and sec if this is not the truth.
Farmers, climb the nearest tall cotton
wood take your eyes from Cass county
and look abroad a moment. There is a
greater and grander interest at stake in
this road, than even the building up of
any one town, or enhanciug the value o
land in any one county.
FINALE.
We have not touched on our loccal in
crests, hardly. e do not deem it
necessary. Shrewd, -harp talkers, have
fibred your intcrei ts out on this score
and o can each tell for yourselves how
ll U alFect J"0"- 0ur motto 1S lh
greatest good for the greatest number.'
There are Lut two Poiut8 more we fehal
toncli. Some are afraid it is only
schowe to help Omaha at the expense of
some other plac Our answer is
Towns, like tubs, must stand on their
own bottoms. Pluck and engergy build
towns ; not wishing aud cursing ; and if
it did help Omaha, would 30U not be
better off with a New York or Chicago
where Omaha is than as you are now.
Let it make a city half the size of either,
anl the whole State is millions richer,
and you have a market for your produce
at Lome.
AiiOthcr bugbear 13 the read may
build PJatUuiouth up Again we say no
road in this Joy builds a town. She
builds herself and if Plattsmouth has
got the men, aud the eapital, and the
grit, to hold her trade, sho will k ;cp it,
aud if she Las not, just as good a town
just as good a shipping point for
"
this road pouin ;i urc I'm-ui
too cf Pli-tss-riih is. You -.n
. 1 A
make your own be J as far as that is con
cerned. Whether the road will pass op
the river or west ou the prairie only a
survey can tell. Tho Engineers and
managers could not tell that at present.
In either case, the county would be im
mensely benefitted. No personal or one
sided views should predjudice your
votes on a matter of so much importance
as this is to the State. This article is
already giowu rrucb. longer than we in
tended, and we must leave the Weep

LAUEA FAI2 HOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK
Sax Fxiancisco, November 21.
At the hour Mrs. Fair was to appear to
lecture on "Wolves in the Fold," about
two thousand people congregated io
front of l'Jatt's hall on Montgomery
street, and as many before her residence
on Kearney street. The crowd at both
places were boisterous. At I o'clock
Mrs. Fair demanded that the chief of
police escort her to the lecture hall. The
chief advi-ed her it was dangerous to
appear on the streets or at the hall, and
would cot furnish an escort, cue
eot
men to keep the streets clear and pre-
serve peace. A carriage came for Mrs.
lair, but she kept close to her room,
with a dozen friends. The crowd hooted
and yelled, aud men tried to force their
way up stairi, but were dnven back.

Rock Bluffs, Nebraska.
Nov. 22ud, 1872.
LDiToa Herald : An impromtu
railroad meeting of the citizens cf Rock
Bluffs was held here last night. Dr.
Reed called the meeting to order aad
nominated Judge Gilmove Chairman.
Ou motion B. S. Ramsey as chostn
Secretary, Judge Gilmour oa taking
the chair referred to the question of
railroad bonds which is now agaitating
tho people of Cas County. He said
that the proposition hitherto submitted.
and the one to be voted on Nov. 30th,
donating bonds to the Trunk Road was
about to be withdrawn and in lieu there
of propodiions donating bonds to the
Trunk and Weeping Water Roads were
to be submitted. The Judge discussed
the subject of bonds, and animadverted
upon the action of the commisiouers at
considerable length, after which Dr.
Reed was called out. The Doctor advo
cated the propriety of securing connec
tion with Eastern and Sou. hern mar
kets, Rock Bluffs was enly about two and
one-half miles from the Kansas City,
St. Joe & Council Bluffs R. R. It would
require comuaratively a small amount
to chance the road from Bartlett via
" - i
East Rock Bluff-. The through trade
thus secured to the company annually
would more than compensate for the out
lay; aud while it would not, in all pro
Lability, make Rock Bluffs a great city,
it would secure to the farmers a conven
ient point for shipping their grain. In
short the project was worth an effort.
B. S. Ramswy was next called for, he
seconded the move of Dr. Reed and in
lieu of a "speech ' asked to submit the
following :
Resolved. That Judge Gilmour,
Dr. Reed, Joseph Shea, J. M. Patter
son and Dr. Latta be and arc hereby ap
pointed a committee to confer with the
officers of the Kansas City, St. Joe &
Council Bluffs Rail Road Company in
reference to inducements necesaary to
secure connection 01 Rock lilutli by
transfer across the Missouri River with
the said Rail Road in Iowa. Unani

that the Secretary be requested to fur

cecdings of this meeting to one or all of

My boy went to the postoffice to Ket

My boy answered : "I would not won

so?" "O, because it seems they take
the Herald, so I supposed they mu.-.t

Mr. Editor, if this is the light your

From the New York Tribune.
The examination of witnesses at Jef

suit of Luther C. Challis against James
11. lilood, lor the charges which ao-
peared in Woodhull and Claflin's Week
ly two weeks ago, has seldom been sur
passed tor tilthmes of detail. As is al-
ways so painfully noticeable, the room
was not half large enough to contain the
immense crowd which failed every seat.
.-
crammed the Lroad aule, choked up the
door, and even quarreled for standing
places, with profuue epithets audible to
every person in the court. Mrs. Victo

in late, a few minutes after Geonre Fran

then the examination proceeded.
lue hrst witness called was L. C. Chai

descending at once into the most per
sonal matters. The effect of Mr. Howe's
questions on the mass of -spectators was
shametuiiy absorbing. Y iien a particu
larly broad question was put, involving,
unless denied, the depredation ot the
plaintiff and one of the defendants, and
in any event calculated to bring a blush
to almost any woman s face, the bystand
