The Xew York Wnrbl thinks U is

red handed of Ohio." Sii! what means
this are v to have the true Demo

at last?

Tho D iits' lie Wi-hti no more; like
the many changes of the (Iiassliopper,
it flew its little lly, devoured all the

From the egg though, there arises a
new being; it is no grasshopper and it
does not watch anything, not even the

the hanks of Spoon Lake, close hy the

our -old friend will reappear, full
grown, full Hedged and full of new and
better work as a Republican Cerman

ami now is the time to make his mark.
STAT i: U LOC K A T M N CO I A.
Some time ago the IIi-:i:am had the
pleasure of being shown through the
handsome room and stores in State
Block, at Lincoln, built under the su
perintendence of Mr. W. 1. Stout. As
a sample of the growth of our western
towns and the solid and substantial
improvements we are making in the
Mate in spite of all the cry about hard
tiiiics tl.e IIi:i:ai-I) will give a short
de-cription of this building.
Jt is situated on the corner of O
and l(Hh streets, fronting north, and
diagonally from the new Post Ollke on
the square.
The whole building occupies two
lull lots. On the ground Jloor to the
east is
.MR. SCT'ALL'S HANDSOME til'.OCI.KY
STOKK,
eighty-five by twenty-two feet, eigh
teen feet high ceiling, and furnished
with counters and every improvement
that modern taste and convenience can
suggest. The graining in this store is
superb, and traveling men ssty they do
not find any handsomer stores any
where. The shelving, and numerous
improvements for placing and han
dling goods so as to be convenient, and
easily shown were 'all ordered for Mr.
Sewall especially; .there is a very wide
space between the counters and the
shelves, so there need be no jostling
and crowding while waiting on cus
tomers. TIIK BASKMKN'T
on the corner is occupied by Mr. Otter
bein, as a restaurant. Above this on
.the street Moor, as one may say, but
raised abjvc the level of the street, is
the
THi; FIKST NATIONAL 15ANIC
of Lincoln of which J no. 11.
Clark is at present Cashier. liehind it
very handsome counter and handsome
j,las screens, we find Mr. Suddeth, and
a, h.st of polite and affable young
money kings (of the future) who are
.always ready to shave you, discount
vou. accommodate von or even shake
hands, that you may feel the pressure
of the lingers that have lovin-ly press
the huge piles of greenbacks that lay
temptingly justout of reach (our reach)
behind the glass and counters.
IN TIIK PEAK OK TIIK HANK
there is a large handsome room front
ing on 10th street anl occupied by the
Lincoln branch of the U. V. Land Dk
pajitmf.nt, at present, presided over
by our old friend .Judge Hyde than
whom no more agreeable or better pos
ted gentleman can be found, and iu the
room you can also see samples of cere
als and products of Nebraska's rich soil
gathered from lands the V. V. offers for
sale.
Ascending a wide ad handsome
sLiir case' opening on O street, we
come to the second story, in r.inu large
handsome rooms of which are careful
ly t-towed all .
Tin: COUNTY OFFICES
of Lancaster county, with their little
records, Commissioners quarters &e.
In two more rooms in this story arc to
be found the offices of
rouNi Si nunit,
two of Lincoln's most prominent Law
yers; who take turns being sent to
the Legislature or the Con con, and
thus are both honorables and we be
lieve honest men for lawyers.
ONCE MOKE WE OO I P
and in the third story we find Masonic
headquarters for that section of the
eountry. The Grand Nail or Lodge
room is perhaps the handsomest in the
State, r"x33 feet, with four large ante
rooms in the rear, with double closets
nr.d every convenience for keeping a
d 7en goats and two or three rams if
iiscessaty. The east half of this story
is a largo
BANQUETING HALL
59x17, with two more Ante-rooms in
the rear, where the brethren can as
semble for a huge refreshment now
and then.
The Dlock is of brick, with glass and
iron front, and handsome stone trim
mings. It would do credit to any city
in the Union, ..nd vre congratulate our
sister citv on the pnp.-ersi.-di of several
more as line buildings wiiich the TIke'
4 lt cannot write up just now. .
; Sonie time ago.Maik Twain adver
tised a reward of Sim for the boy that
stole his umbrella, not alive, Aze.,
Some days after the body of a deal
boy in dead earnest was shipped to
him and a note saying that the shipier
would call for the reward in a few
days. Mark was arrested; Hartford
grew excited; after some heavy tele
graphing, it was found that some med
ical students had stolen the corpse
from the dissecting Ann at Cambridge
and shipped it to Twain, for a joke.
All this we found in the papwrs. It
may be true or it may be a lie. If true
give us credit for enterprise if a lie,
charge it up to Mark Twain and the
New York papers.
OUR TOWN!
WHAT WE NEED
MUST HAVE !
AND
MANUFACTORIES -HOW TO SET
AUOUT IT !
Other City Matters.
We propose to keep urging some of
the above projects and keeping these
facts before our people until they do
take hold and help make the town a
handsome little manufacturing centre.
IT CAN HE DONE.
In the first place we must bridge the
Platte Itiver, by hook or crook, and a
committee of those interested want, to
set their heads to work at once. This
is the first desideratum. Xext wc
want to aid those we have and build
some
X EV M AN UF ACTOKI ES.
Xow tlw moment we say manufac
tories there arises in many minds the
vision of tall black chimneys, great
smoky fires, and the smell of brimstone
and hot work generally; we do not
mean these kind of factories. Rolling
mills, ami furnaces, and cotton mills,
and great factories of that kind are
impossible here. J5nt there are a num
ber of branches of manufacturing that
do not need the adjuncts of coal and
iron in large quantities, and that can
bo entered into in tiiis State with pro
fit ami assured success. Wc should
make all our own
WOOD wokk,
such as wagons, furniture, pails, and
the wood work of our numerous Agri
cultural implements and cooperage of
various kinds.
The time was when all these things
had to be made near where the timber
grew, out of which they are made; but
that time has passed. The places
where nearly all this class of goods are
now manufactured is not within a
thousand miles of the great forests
from which the timber is derived.
THOSE MUCH AIU'SED RAILROADS
have made it possible to manufacture
all these things and many others, at al
most any point where there is free
railroad communication. Furniture,
wagons, Sic, are very largely made in
the smaller towns in and about the
great cities, and then sent to large
ware-houses in the cities, to be .sold,
The timber in the rough, or in knock
downs, is all shipped from the mills,
and the lumber regions, to these small
towns and thero worked up or put to
gether. THE ADVANTAGES
of building this class of goods here, on
our native heath would be immense.
It is a notorious fact that the excess
ive dryness of our climate causes all
manner of wood work, put up iu moist
er climate to shrink and fall to pieces,
subjecting us constantly to loss and ex
pense. Xow if any of these branches
were entered into here, with a decent
amount of capital the lumber could
and should be shipped here to dry and
season or re-season before being used,
and one summer here would be worth
a dozen elsewhere. Two or three sea
sons drying in this atmosphere would
ensure wood work to stand anywhere.
It is notorious that the best of lumber
wagons put up elsewhere will get loose
during our dry weather; a wooden pail
falls to pieces unless kept filled with
water and barrels likewise.
IT COSTS BUT A TKIFLK
more to ship the raw material a few
miles further to Nebraska, and then
build your wagon, your barrel, or your
pail, than it does to ship it to some
town near Chicago for instance and
have it put up there.
Spokes and timber can be shipped
compactly, long distances at cheap rates
and so can staves anl hooping material.
EVEKY Ll'MflER WAGON
made in' Nebraska ought to be smooth
ed oat. worked an 1 put together in the
Stale, and might be iu Plattsmouth
with proper investment.? and p.itrona.;?.
The sa:n3 with p lils. barrel anl fur
niture. Once get the trade established,
get a reputation for tho making of any
one of these things ani the sale is no
trouble; and one kind of mechanical
manufacturing bring? amthsr, anl
another to the sama place, in short sooa
produces a manufacturing and mechan
ical population, an I then tha thing is
done. There is ir humbug in these
things they are nt visionary, they
can be done, every ona of them.
HOOTS AND SHOES
have been talked of, but we do not
think they would hi advisable yet, al
though it does look insan to ship our
leather to IS ston and our shoes back
here. To carry on this line of manu
facture though, requires the presence
of several generation? of a manufac
turing community. We should come
to that but it is doubtful now.
IJAKXKvi MAKING
could be profitably entered into on n
larger scale; get up a reputation for a
certain kind of team or carriage har
ness, put in capital enough to get the
best improved machinery and run a
gang of hands and you can supply the
job trade of the state, or every farmer
in Nebraska with his harness.
PAPER MAKING
is both feasible and possibln, thousands
of dollars of old paper and rags are
wasted, and thousands more of straw,
the prime necessity for coarse papers.
A large paper mill almost makes a
town, we could point to several larger j
;tul finer than Plattsmouth, that are j
almost sustained by their paper mills.
FLAX MILLS AND HOPE WALKS
would soon follow, and are both possi
ble and undoubtedly profitable.
CANNED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
have been talked of ami would come
iu time, but they require great skill to
put up successfully ami there are pat
ents on many of the processes by which
they are preserved.
TO SHOW THE VALUE Or
any one of these projects if successful
y carried out, we have only to look at
the effect on other towns. Elgin, a
quiet little village, has grown to be a
famous town, largely by means of its
Watch factory. Several towns in Mi
chigan on the manufacture of wagon?
others in Ohio on lleajnrs that you .all
know of. 15 itavia flourishes on a pa
per mill, Gloversville, New York, was
once famous as the place where nearly
all the Buck Gloves in the United
States were made.
TO PROVE THAT THESE THINGS ARE
rOSSIULE,
lot us show you how one or two men
and firms have made money by work
ing up a reputation for soma kind of a
good article, (that can bs warranted)
and made money enough to engage in
manufacturing it largely.
Years ago, during the first Califor
nia fever when they had to go by the
Horn, a firm in Orange count-, N. Y.,
experimented and experimented until
they found out a way to pack butter so
it would positiczbj keep sweet during
the long voyage around the Horn and
they made an independent fortune out
of it. No shipper would h ive any oth
er butter. What makes Paber's pen
cils outsell all others simply because
we ku w that the leads will bo uni
form and of a given quality, and to
men that write much an I fast, this is
a prime necessity and they must have
them; price is no obiect.
EL AM CLARK,
in Nebraska, bought out an old mill at
Ft. Calhoun long ago, he was not rich
then. It was an old tumble down
mill, but he. made a certain kind of
ilour and branded it, and made it a
dead certainty that when a man or a
firm got that flour with that mark on,
it was bound to be good (or he took it
back) and he has won a fortune, ami
now ships largely to Denver, and all
through the west.
Dozens of millers have started since,
many richer than he and dozens have
failed, for lack of this knowledga and
perseverance. "
LET THE SMALLEST
manufacturer now here in his line just
go to work and mike something need
ed, of first class material, establish the
fact that it is just what he says it is,
and keep at it. Advertise it a little,
ask the business men tu l money men
for a little help now and then, and if
you show them that you know your
business, and mean business they will
be glad to help you do this and make
up your mind that you will and must
succeed, and you have the neuclus of a
big factory in your grasp that moment.
ITOW TO SET ABOUT IT.
Iu the first place we want to help
those we have, and every property
holder mast set to work to do it in this
way, look up the deserving and the
honest ones and place help to en
large their business in their way if
you can't trust those in a line of busi
ness already, if they are not g od busi
ness men or unsafe, ascertain if the bu
siness could be made profitable in good
hands and hunt about at once to find
such a man. d then help him. This
may look hard but self preservation is
the first great law of nature and we've
got to makes this a town do you hear?
You should see that Mr. Johnson or
some one else has money enough to
buy lumber and season it properly to
make his organs, and help blow them
up for him. that Mr. Howland has the
same with his wagons and some one
f should look after our blacksmiths and
machinists and see what can be done
for them; help them to partners with
money ; or help some one in that can
run the business and make it pay.
THERE'S A DOZEN OF YOU
here, that can do all this and never feel
it. You ought to support one good lit
tle DAILY PAPER,
and one good No. 1 Job Oilici?, and in
stead of letting every fool that com?.?
along coax you to give him a little
work, thus dribbling out your resour
ce, you ought to concentrate every
thing you kavo in o&e good office at
home and make it pay the owner to fit
it up in grand style, and run a dozen
hands, witli steam power presses, fce.
Instead of growling at e tch ot!i?r and
the railroad, you ought each and every
one make a new cash sub?criber for
your home papers every day, and soon
we could run that steam press and em
ploy the dozen men. Don't let us do
it nil, what helps us helps you.
TEN MILLIOM
of brick ought to be made here each
year, and shipped away; there is noth
ing to hinder. We have the brick
yards started, there is plenty of clay,
and woo I a? cheap as anywhere in Ne
braska. Thtre are certainly houses
built in Nebraska each year to con
sume this amount, and builders must
buy brick somewhere. Let Mr. Fitz
ponder on this. 10,003,000 brick at !?S
per tho usand is ."?s0,000 left here. Try
it, sir.
SYSTEM.
Let us go to work now, with some
system, an I in d?ad earnest. T!i first
thing we want to do. Is to organize a
little
HOARD OF TR ADE,
compose ! of our best busiuess men and
best financiers and capitalists We
want Dr. Jiio. Black, Cai Parmele,
Clarke, Donelan, Dovey, Wheeler, and
Chapman, and all that have either mon
ey or brains. You won't find Dr. Black
and Dovey such old grumblers, if you
give them something to do, and inter
est them Ju it; or show them how they
can make money and help the town too.
This board of trade will go outside af
the usual custom. f sueh bo lies. in fact
we have called them this for the sake
of a name, the principal idea is to 'get
our folks together and unite I on some
project. Call them a -
COMMITTEE OF HUSINIXS
if you Jike, and the first thing they
want to do is to form a building asso
ciation and put up 2 or 30 neat
COTTAGE HOUSES
to rent or to sell, not expensive, but
each complete in itself, with water on
the line of each two lots ami other out
door conveniences handy and indepen
dent. ' , 4
such nouses
always rent, wc have never lived in a
Nebraska town yet, where there were
enough of them ; there always are old
shells and high priced houses to rent,
but seldom homes. We will pledge
our business character that 20 such
house-; could be rented in Plattsmouth
within six moiith3 fi-om the time they
were built, besides we want to sell
some and build more to put our new
mechanics in. Sell them on long time
and monthly payments; whenever you
get a man interested iu making and
earning a h jiiie, you have nailed him
for a good citizen.
the next thi:;g
is to appoint persons to visit and ex
amine into the needs of the mechanic
al industries already established, and
report on any new plans that are fea
sible and do not involve a great outlay.
They can bo found. Go slow, begin
little, but do it. Set a good figurer or
two to show Mr. Fitzgerald how, in
stead of scattering his forces all over
the United States he can concentrate
them here, and under his own eye,
where he can handle it at less expense,
lie may invest his money securely and
make his Plattsmouth property valua
ble at the same time. Let him
DEVELOP THOSE POTTERY SOILS
out at Louisville. Increase that brick
yard to the dignity of a manufactory,
get a brand like the Milwaukee, hunt
up a bank that will make it, then go in,
"There's millions iu it" of brick any
way,
APPOINT A COMMIT TE .
to get together and have in readiness
the lots and lands in the city that may
be devoted to encouraging manufacto
ries. Let them get all private dona
tions for the same purpose and have
them in readiness, to talk business at
once to any Foundry man, Machine
Company or other enterprise that comes
along.
LET A GOOD GENERAL
committee of level headed men, draft
a sensible, legal and equi table plan
to reduce tho expenses of the city for
the present, and an economical system
of future proceedings that will suit
good business men and tax-payers and
submit it to the Council asking them
to adopt the same. They'll do it. They
ain't such bad fellows, if you approach
them right. Let us begin and take a
good square start and all work togeth
er and pull together just once. What

Ed. IIeuald: Please to change the
address of my paper, the IIekald, from
Plum Creek, Dawson Co., Neb., to Jew
ell, Dawson Co., Neb. Please to pub
lish the change in the IIekald. so that
old friends in Cass County will know
how to reach ine by mail. I am living
on Wood River and have had to get
my mail from Plum Creek, 18 miles,
for the last year and a half. Now if
there is any one in Cass County that
has decided to emigrate and to go into
stock raising, let them come this way.
I will find them a range that cannot
be beat. Cattle ami horses live all
winter without hay or grain,
and between here and the Loup can
never be cultivated; all bluffs and can
yons for ten or twelve miles. We
have plenty of valley land to cultivate,
with timber sufficient, while Wood
River furnishes excellent water for
stock. Yours truly,
William Dickinson.
