county Floriculturist. It is a ueat
pamphlet of 50 pages, and gives a com

of Flowers, Shrubs and Plants, to the
number of many thousands, all culti
rated and sold by Mr. Ilesser, at the
Picnic Gardens five miles south of this

TAXES." "
There is considerable excitement in
some parts of the county over taxes
and tax payments. Before you get hot
tinder the co'lar, good friends, just
take a calm view of the subject from
front to rear. First, at no time and
nnder" ftc laxr was it the duty of the
county Treasurer to go out and hunt
up delinquent tax-payers. It is every
citizens duty to come forward and pay
Lis taxes at the county office. Those
who have paid, and who have their re
ceipts need have no fenr of this law, or
the present delinquent list, and no min
who has come up to the county office
and shown his receipts, or wanted in
formation, but has been courteously
treated aud kindly informed of all the
facts in his individual case. That
man- errors have Jcrept into our way
of collecting taxes, no one doubts, and
this very law was talked over, debated
over, with all its pros, and cons, and
finally passed in the last Legislature
for the express purpose of remedying
these old defects and clearing up the
old books so that we, once in our lives,
end during the present generation,
might start in fair and square and
eTen. If the jeople don't keep the
books right in future, they must "cuss"
themselves and no one elo. "We say
the people, b?ciuso the people elect the
officers and it is their fault if they
elect incompetent or careless men.
One thing is obvious. Many of us
walked up to the county Treasurer's
vffice year after year and paid our tax
es promptly, asking the Treasurer
-How much tax do I owe?" and when
he figured out the amount we paid it
supposing that was all against ns. It
jiow apiears that there were often
back taxes overlooked. This works
great hardship to present owners often,
because whentaxes accrued, there
might have ' been a partnership, and
the present owner should only have
paid half or a part, and now he must
pay the whole ; or; parties with taxes
unpaid have oM to .innocent purchas
ers and left the country since. The
Herald knows all this, and our pres
ent County Treasurer knotrs it. but he
cannot help it. His duty under the
law was plain and clear, to make out
the list as the books stood, and you,
our friends, will see at once, on reflec
tion, that nothing else could be done.
This matter must be straightened up
some time, and every year it was left
made it harder and harder, and more
unjust on those who were thus caught.
A Treasurer's receipt should be in full
to date, where parties intend paying
all their taxes, the same as any other
receipts, and no subsequent officer
should have the right to go buck of
that. In order to secure this result
and not subject the county to loss, the
County Treasurer's books should be
examined . at least once a year by a
competent man, and all delinquencies
of this nature cliarged up to the
Treasurer. . He might have a short
ti'hje granted to-coITeet these amounts
from the same parties Lut in no case
should the amount so left staurf oi the
books and be collectable of the tax
payer after one full year has elapsed
from the time of delinquency. Unless
some provision of this kind is made
we shall luive the same row over again
in a few years, artd if this escapade
only works a radical rare of this one
evil, it is worth all the trouble and ex
pense the county ha3 incurred. M-ean--while
be patient with the Treasurer;
his position is onerous erx-ugh. lie
-has done his duty like a man, good
iUlcs. Step up to the rack kow, and
do yours.- Keep cool! let yuux hair
row. Fetch in your receipts! C.tJ

rou don't own any more to pay taxes-on-

Mr-. Editor --Permit one who lias
embraced the principles and objects of
the order of the Patrons of Husbandry,
as originally conceived and promul
gated by the author, to advance a few
thoughts, for Yrhat they are worth.
The time had arrived when the in
dustrial classes, particularly the farm
ing interests of the land, required or
ganization and concentrated effort en
the part of those engaged, and directly
interested.
The 'organization known as thjf Pa
trons of Husbandry was supposed f i
meet the emergency, and will, if: zsj
ried forward as contemplated, ac&i
plish the desired object. Hut itjgin j

now, just
upon the
end, our organization is to be pr.
they would have any -wine, and so
when night came - they went to the
w eitding,' and Herbert was asked by a
great many to take a glass, but he re
fused every time until at last the bride
wanted him to drink with her, but he
refused; but at last she said please
Herbert drink for my health and so he
drank it and then that set him all on
fire again, and he got to drinking every
night until at last he took the delirium
tremens, and died, and on his dying
bed he cursed his mother and said that
ift was all her fault, that she.gave him
tile first wine that he ever tasted. We
are little girls, please help us, and may
5o(l help you.

complain of may be laid, to obtain ac ( 1ear Sir: I would like to have
mission to our ranks, for the solemn ihli published, as it is very important,
pose of restoring, U power a lost cfc kll . 1 thmk drinkinS is awful, though peo-
most forgotten political party. :;K
"When we look over our State'iind
see such men as Tiptpn, Hascall, tpr
ton, Church Howe, Abbott, Jenn'tivs,
Mason, Dudley, Pearman, Majors, .r
ner, and many others I might ni1g le,
seemingly so much interested, buIn
sisting that the power of the older
shall be at once brought into the po
litical arena, there is, I confess, to the
honest Patron, cause for alarm.
"When the Omaha Herald espouses
the cause, and the Urownville Granger,
formerly Democrat, controlled by a
man just from the opposing ranks, pro
fesses to cut loose from its old moor
ings and don the garb of "Granger,"
there is cause for reflection and in
spection of premises. "We are taught
in our organization that nothing there
in shall conflict with our political or
religious affiliations. Let those who
are Democrats, Liberals or Kepubli
cans, be so still, has been our under
standing, our teachings. As a Repub
lican and a sincere Patron, I shall ad
here to the doctrine and do not pro
pose to be cajoled or tritled with. In
the matter of representation in Legis
latures, or other offices, the agricultur
al interest demands its rights, its share.
This has always been conceded by the
Republican party, as a political organi
zation. What more can we ask can
we expect? "What have we to hope
for in submitting to the manipulation
of the opposition? Let us examine
for a moment. "What can we expect
from a Tipton? what ha3 he ever
done for his old party or for his State?
"What from a Howe or Mason, who
have only adhered to a party while it
served them, and now denounce those
with whom they have in the past la
bored, as "corruptionists?" "What
from a Morton, who has been for years,
and is to-day, the paid agent of a rail
road power, of which we all, as farm
ers, have just reason to complain?
What "reform" can we hope for from
such men?
Patrons, let us maintain confidence
in our organization and labor assidu
ously to accomplish the great objects
for which it was brought into existence.
It can be made a power for good if
properly guarded and fostered, or it
can be forever destroyed if allowed to
be manipulated by unscrupulous men,
who seek to use it for individual pre
ferment and the destruction of a glo
rious political organization. "While
many reforms are needed and should
be made, not our old party yet hon
orable and potent enough to work out
its own reforms in its own way, and
that too, without interfering 'with or
jeopardizing another organization, got
ten up by good men for noble purposes ?
"We need all our strength and labor in
carrying forward our mesisures to
profitable termination.' Once launched
upon a political sea, our bark is ship
wrecked, and the interests we now
have at heart will be, to this genera
tion at least, lost beyond hope.
A Farmer and Graxgek.
TEilPEUAXCE.-
"We had intended to write a temper
ance editorial, but three little" girls
came in yesterday and asked as innocen
tly as kittens,"do you print thingshere ?"
Sometimes, we answered, what is it?
"Oh its some pieces we girls wrote, and
if you don't charge anything for print
ing Vre should like to have them print
ed." Informing them that we would
look over the pieces that "the little
girls wrote," and if. suitable print
them, they departed in high glee.
Here are two of their" pieces, and the
other two will be published next week.
We can't do better than give our read
ers the little girls' ideas on temperance.
Mr. Editor Dear Sir: I thought
that I would try to make up a little
piece for the temperance cause. I
think it is a dreadful thing to see the
poor orphans and the poor widows try
ing to make their living by begging
and stealing, and some days nearly
starve, and their husbands taking all
the money that he gets for whisky.
Oh if the people would only take hold
as they are in a great many places! I
think that the boys ;,would do a splen
did thiBg if they would set the saloons
on fire, but the danger is it would burn
the whole town down, but I don't
know but wliat it would be better to
have the who)e town burnt down, than
to have so many souls ruined. I think
that it is wrong in the parents to put
wine n the tabie before their children
or let thers drain the bottom of the
glasses. "I know of a young man
whose mother always had wine for her
dinner and he finally got to like it, and
he commenced to drink every tiaie he
got a chance to, but finally he signed
the pledge and gave several temper
ance lectures, but one night he wsis in
rrttrt to attend a grand wedding, but
his wife didn't want him to go, she was
afraid that they would have wine and
he would get to drinking, bnt hi3 wife's
sister said that she didn't think that
pie can't drink unless it is sold. They
take hold of the glass and hold it up
and say how can I take the bitter stuff.
Then the bar-keeper says, take it; it
won't hurt yon. Now if the men
would only take hold of this and help
us, may be we would have this town
clear of rum shops. We are only small
children, and can't master it alone,
but if somebody would only help us!
The whisky destroys the soul and body
of every one that drinks it. I think
the rum sellers ought to be put in pris
on, and the saloons shut up When
you see boys go in a saloon I think it
is just terrible. There are so many in
this town ; there are more than there
ought to be. I could write mere, only
I am afraid that there is not room in
the paper.
13 y a Little Girl 12 Yr's Old.
How did the little girl 12 years old
know how the toper held the glass up,
eh? I3ut that remark about no more
room in the paper is very good, and
very true, and got your piece in, little
one.
In last week's issue we published a
few quotations of the names now go
ing the rounds of the newspapers, de
scriptive of the ladies' raid upon King
Alcohol, aud casually remarked that
we would prefer the "W. W. W," with
out knowing who was the originator;
but since that we have been credibly
informed that it was "Bub" Balcombe,
"Amateur" foreman of the Omaha He
publican. We think the press is not
doing the fair thing by "Bub," as he is
a young man whose aspirations are
very lengthy, and for the newspapers
to copy the "W. W. W." without the
necessary credit, is, in our opinion, a
fraud upon our young friend.
COAL AGAIN.
We have Btruck coal, it's here in
Cass county. A big chunk lies on our
table now, and it's hard, and black, and
coaly, and smuts our papers, and blacks
people's fingers that come in and fee!
of it, and then if they rub their noses
it blacks them too, and we know it is
coal.
Mr. J. Mc F. Hagood brought to this
office a piece of coal of four or five
pounds weight, good fair coal, mined
in Cass county, on the Missouri river,
ten miles below here, and there are
oceans of it. viz: An eight inch
vein, twenty-three feet from the ground
surface, and growing thicker every
minute. No man knows how wide it
is nor how far it goes, and this story is
all true; and if you don't believe it
come up to our office and smell of the
coal.

A Washington correspondent says
that lots of people at the capital, who
were unfortunate enough to be born
out of Ohio, are trying to get up an in
vention by which they can be "born
again," with that State for their birth
place. It's a big thing in Washington
to hail from Ohio. "Charley Baldwin,
of Mount Vernon," says the corres
pondent, was here last week, and
wanted to see Sothem. At the ticket
office the treasurer said very politely:
-Sorry to disppoint you, sir, but the
house is crammed, and there is not an
inch of even standing room left. 'But,
my dear sir,' said Charley, 'I'm from
Ohiof The treasurer looked at him
a moment in blank astonishment, and
then called out, 'Harry I here, take this
man to the manager's box and give
him a front seat ; he's from Ohio. The
idea that anybody from Ohio shouldn't
be abln to get a seat aDywhre as tco
thin."
The recent depression in business
' has not affected the passenger traffic of
the St. Louis. Kansas City & Northern
Short Line, as they continue to run six
fast express trains, two more than any
other line between the Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers. This road enjoys
great immunity from accidents, by
reason of immense expenditures, in the
last two years, of over two million dol
lars, besides earnings in wonderful im
provements, in relaying their line with
hew steel and iron rails, on broad, new
ties, in new rolling stock supplied with
all modern appliances for comfort and
safety, and as another safeguard, em
ploy night and day watchmen to in
spect the road before and after the
passage of each train, to see that every
thing is in order. Conspicuous among
new improvements is the substitution
for ordinary cars, of new reclining
chair coaches, elegantly carpeted and
fitted with dressing rooms for ladies,
gentlemen and families, without any
extra cliarrje. The St. Louis, Kansas
City & Northern and the Kansas City,
St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad,
form the only line running through
Pullman Palace Sleepers between
Omaha and St Louis. The shortest
line between the West and the East is
over ths St. Louis, Kansas City &
Northern Short Line, either through
St. Louis, the great metropolis of over
450,000 inhabitants, or through Chica
go, via the Chicago & Alton Short
Line, over the Louisiana Bridge now
open for passage of through trains.
Ticket Agents of connecting roads sel
ling through tickets to the East, North
or South, will furnish tickets by this
excellent line. For map, circulars,
