Sixty feuialo employes have been

The utter silliness of spending days
in squabbling atwjut whether Secretary
Sherman wrote a pitiful lit tie letter,
containing nothing criminal if he had
written it, and avoiding all evidence
in regard to the real matter of vital

democrats, not directly pledged to the

The testimony against Livingston,

It is awful and while we swelter here
we should remember that thousands

The Louisiana branch of the Potter

All the members of the Dorrington

are residents of Falls City. A recep
tion was given John, the one who has
strayed the farthest away, at the resi
dence of Judge Eeavis, and altogether
they had a delightful time.
" It is reported that Tip-Top Mac

Lincoln Jouanal.
"Well, why not? It would be too
bad to let Dan make this race alone.
Then, too. three newspaper men makes
it uneven. A three handed game is
cut-throat; we want to come in to
make it four, then we can play part
ners. Gad and the Herald or Tom
my "Wolfe and the Herald will "saw
off," don't you see.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Republican says the latest can
didates are Capt. Cyrus Alexander, of
Thayer county, for secretary of state,
and Col. Thos. Harbine, of Jefferson
county for governor. Both are old set
tlers and have been active in local pol
itics for some, years.
Speaking of our Geo. Smith, he says:
"The candidates for the legislature are
quietly working up their own several
cases. Then there are delegates to the
district convention to nominate a dis
trict attorney. Geo. Smith, of Cass,
the present incumbent, will scarcely
fail of an endorsement. He has giv
en satisfaction to all concerned in the
welfare of the community." That's
truo .and if Georgo wants it we hope
he may get it, heartily and cheerfully.
AVe call attention to the meeting of
the Republican Central Committee of
this county on the 27th. Although we
have received but few answers to our
invitation, suggesting the best time to
meet, we act on those sent in, and fix
the 27th as t lie day, and Eight Mile
Grove as the place, believing that this
will accommodate as many members
from all parts of the counis any
other point.
It is to be hoped that every precinct,
that takes any interest in public affairs
will have their member there, we have
given ample time and notice, please
try and arrange your business accard
ingly, and see that each precinct is rep
resented. As stated in this paper there have
been some complaints against certain
parties whispered and bruited abroad.
Our County seat contest, the temper
ance question and various local dif
ferances have estranged many mem
bers of the party and one section from
the other. It is our duty now to en
deavor to heal these differences, or if
not and the feeling is as strong as
some persons have from time to time
represented to us the Herald thinks
it the more manly and better way to
say so at once, in the Committee.
Committeemen arc supposed to bo se
lected because they are representative
men, because they know or ought to
know the wishes and feeling of their
neighbors and friends. It is their du
ty to state frankly at the proper time
and place what these wishes are. If
it is a fact that a large portion of the
party in the west will not support any
one from the east, we want to know it.
If those from the east do not mean to
support.western Candidates we want
to know it.
If a large body of Republicans should
say theywill support no candidate for
oflice who has not signed a total ab
stinance pledge we want to know that
too, as far as the wishes of the people
can be made known through their rep
resentatives at this meeting, or in Con
vention. The Herald desires and
has always given the greatest latitude
of opinionson all these questions, but
we shall object in the future to the farce
of going through the motions of nomi
nating a ticket in solemn convention
only to have it beaten at the polls. In
the committee, at the primaries, in
the Convention is the time to settle
these questions, and determine how we
will nominate, what kind of men fnot
which man) we must nominate, and
what rights each section of county has
that must and should be accorded.
Thi3 is a very important meeting
to the Convention. The subject of a
new apportionment will undoubtedly
come up, the question of one or two
conventions, cf delegates or open pri
maries; resolve then that one day at
least can be given in full to these mat- i
ters in the outset, that many mistakes
may be avoided in the future.
Our friends down the street having
apparently shut down the brakes on
their numerous corps of Editors and
Correspondents, and having "MacMur
phy" to mind his own business, which
he is always glad to do, and which is
to edit a NEWs-paper, with thoughts
and ideas worthy of the consideration
of men and women who really take an
interest in the welfare of mankind and
the good government of communities,
the Herald will talk a few words
about that much abused term, "Tern
perance."
For the sake of brevity and because
we cannot constantly reiterate the fact
that temperance is not total abstinence,
nor yet prohibition, we have, for short,
used the term in the sense commonly
attributed to it ; that is "Temperance"
abstinence from all alcoholic liquors;
and "Temperance party," a party that
advocates the total abolishment of all
intoxicating drinks.
Incorrect as these terms are they
have become so commonly accepted by
the people that it seems a waste of
time and space to re-state what real
temperance means; but for curiosity
we will just give Webster on temper
ance, to show how far we have wan
dered from the true meaning of the
word.
"Tem-per -anoe, Habitual moder
ation in regard to the indulgence of
natural appetites and passions; re
strained or moderate indulgence; mod
eration; a3 temperance in eating and
drinking; temperance in joy or mirth,
and he quotes this further. To put
on the profound humility and the ex
act temperance of our Lord Jesus
Christ, ami to keep them on in the
sunshine and noon of prosperity, is as
necessary and as difficult at least as to
be clothed with perfect patience and
true christian fortitude in the cold
midnight storms of persecution and
adversity." Herbert.
2. "Moderation of passion; patience;
calmness; sedateness."
Temperate is also given as "Moder
ate in the indulgence of the appetites
and passions; as temperate in eating
and drinking; temperate in pleasure;
temperate in speech."
If the old fellow had edited a News
paper or if they were edited iu his day
as now he might have added as most
appropriate "temperate in writing."
vy person of discrimination in lan-
m t ! era 11 1 1 1 c nr n-'ila r f f 1 t- o -!.-
our so called "temperance" endeavors
are of the above definition.
As a public question therefore and
with a view to adopting right means
to check the unlawful and intemperate
use of Alchoholic beverages, our
friends of that persuasion should cor
rect their definition and declare them
selves to be what they really are: Pro
hibitionists, or total abstinance men
and those operating in unity for the
prohibition of the sale of Liquors
should bo termed and term themselves
Prohibitionests or some other term
that really designates what they mean,
or want to accomplish.
If the Chronicle now had stated this
fact, or some point of divergence in its
views and ours of what constituted
temperance, and suggested methods of
cure, wo might have cordially 3nd
without ill feeling debated the matter
to the enlightment of the people and
the futherance of good laws looking
towards the final extermination of a
traffic that has nothing at the present
day to reccommend it to mankind or
to extenuate its existence.
In order that any future controver
sy on this subject may be properly un
derstood and that our friends in the
newspaper line may have no further
excuse for Intempeiate personal at
tacks on the editor of this paper or
any one they not being argument
and of no use to the community we
propose to outline a course on which a
proper and conscientious difference of
opinion may exist and which is within
the province and in fact the duty of
this county to decide.
"With tho present influx of immi
gration to this state from all parts,
and a large foreign immigration to
boot, we do not believe a "prohibitory
law" practicable, or feasible. It can
not be passed and it could not be car
ried out if passed by an act of Legis
lature. Even if intrinsically just It
self, of which we have grave doubts.
It is a singular fact that if prohibi
tion is aspecifie remedy for intem
perance, more of the older, eastern
states, have not adopted it. With the
spread of cultivation, with their schools
and colleges dotting the land, they
ought to have been wiser and better
than we chaps out here in the wilder
ness; with the gigantic intellects they
raise there, and the magnificent adorn
ments they send to congress, with
their strength and power and money
and means they ought to have solved
this question long ago, and by nation
al enactment, but tho fact stands that
onlv a few of these great states have
ever tried prohibition and only one has
persistently clung to it. Therefore
when some eastern demogogue comes
west and tells us we are drunkards,
and going to tho "demnition bow
wow's" at once on account of our sa
loons and our drinking habits and in
forms us that we ought to enact
a prohibitory law, that we
onght to disorganize a great party and
antagonize great business interests,
and slight numerous imperative wants
that a new country alwa.s needs to de
vote ourselves to his views of the
"temperance" question, we feel like
asking him why his own great state
has not led the advance in so great
and good a measure, provided it has
been a success and a p.maceaTor all the
evils of intemperance.
Practical existing evils must bo dealt
with in a practical way we cannot
prohibit cyclones, tempests, lightning
strokes, we can avoid, protect and
guard against their ravages and it is
our duty to do so.
Thus with moral tempests, whisky
lightnings See, we must prepare for
them. Euild your houses lower, that
is curb all your passions, teach moral
restraints and avoid temptations.
Put up rods ta draw the fire, that is
enact laws that public sentiment and
public opinion will cary out.
For many reasons, not necessary to
give here, as this article is too long al
ready, we believe that the most prac
tical means of dealing with the Liquor
question in this state and county is by
a good Local option Law, and we
shall work and pledge the Herald to
work for such men and such measures
as will bring this about.
It is not rerfect, it may not be the
very best way, but it seems the best
under the circumstances. A law ask
ed for and voted upon by a majority of
the people in any locality is likely to
be carried out and enforced.
A prohibitory law passed if it
could be at all by a baro majority
would be constantly a source of corrup
tion, secret connivance or open vio
lation. It is the duty of every good
citizen to influence his neighbor for
the better, if he cannot induce the
community to think as he does he can
leave them; a community of drunk
ards would soon perish.
Tit for Tat.
Mr. Editor: Although we do not
live in W. "W. we live close to it and
have friends who live there, and we
know whereof we affirm when we say
that neither the clique who run the
one horse sheet called the Cass County
Chronicle, (which by the way, ought to
change its name to the Plattsmouth
Chronicle) nor its correspondent, Bru
tus, has any sympathy in these parts.
AVe know nothing about sucli Brut -us,
he is; we don't know whether he lives
in this town of W. W. or not, and if
ho does, he is an ungrateful wretch to
go back on an old friend who has
worked for him for three months and
never charged him a cent.
Re assured that you have our thanks
for what you have done for us, and
that the clique who are bound to rule
or ruin this county are despised by
every lover of equal rights in the Co.
Rut give a fool rope enough and he
will hang himself, so let the clique
continue to make us poor fellows inn
30 or 40 miles every time we go to the
County Seat and it will hang itself
sure. Yours respectfully,
"W. Water.

Ed. Herald: The storm king wax
ed strong, but we aro safe iu saying
that the elements were less condensed
than in some other places we read of,
but ince the smoke has cleared away
we are pleased to see that the crops
are not so materially damaged as was
first expected, the quantity is good but
grain is damaged by being flattened to
the ground rendering it difficult to har
vest, iu some cases, but notwithstand
ing the harvest is rips and people aro
gathering it in. Corn has grown won
derfully under the pressure of HO""
since the storm and we believe will
equal that of last year. The dam
age to roads and bridges from high
water is considerable; nearly every
county bridge in this vicinity is dam
aged more or less and most all little
bridges have gone out, roads are wash
ed, impeding travel and trade consider
able. The stone dam at Mr. Schluntz's
mill went out, it had just been finished
at a cost of four hundred dollars, but
we are pleased to learn that Mr. S. is
one of our invincible men, and has
begun work already ; this is the third
dam washed out this summer at the
same place. No material damage was
done in town here. The railroad must
have been the greatest loser, the track
was reported by a tramp to have been
washed out in many places, and busi
ness, for the first time in the histoiy
of the road we believe, was brought
to a dead halt, but trains have now as
sumed their wonted regularity.
The pottery moves steadily upward
and ere long we shall be favored with
a di ink from a home-spun traditional
brown jug. While speaking of drinks,
brings up the "saloon question. The
trial of Mr. Peterson came of! against
him for twenty-five dollars and costs.
This was on the charge of selling liquor
without license. Other saloons have
kept their promise and do no, open
their doors on Sunday, but Mr. P. still
persists in breaking the law for last
Sunday his place was in full blast.
The recent hot weather is very favor
able for love affairs; the awakening of
honest people from their tranquil slum
bers last week bears abundant evidence
of this; it was the musical sound of
the cow bells distant chime, accompan
ied with instruments of discord, and
all for the benefit of friend Badger who
was married to Miss Eva Bryant last
week. .We wish him a "clean fireside,
and a merry life " . Transit.
'Hot as 'Lection"
13 a very old saying. This 'lection
bids fair to be hot enough. From the
state of the weather, tho disorganiza
tion of all the old rings and cliques in
the state, and tho number, of candi
dates in the field, the first baMot. in
the coming state convention will be
about the wildest thing we have seeti
lately.
Dr. Carver is astonishing the New
Yorkers now. This is what the Sun
says an enthusiastic Irishman says of
him :
"Oh, sum the .hong Island pigeon
shooter, "I guess Rogardus would letch
him on birds and game.
"Game, is it? replied the Hibernian.
"An d'ye know how he shoots buffa
loes? He jist roules alondgsule iiv a
drove, waits till the heads of three
get in a straight lome, and then diaps
'email wid a shot through their six
eves, be jabbers." The Long Island
man's reply was drowned in a roar of
laughter.

A lady living in England has made
aplicalions for three valuable swords
formerly the property of lwiggs, but
captured by Butler in New Orleans.
The Swords were sent to President
Lincoln bv Butler, and deposited by
his successor Johnson in the vault of
the Treasury department for safe keep
ing, valued at 835.000. One of them
was presented Twigir by Congress for
bravery during the Mexican war. lhe
lady claims Twiggs left the swords to
her.
In going through the Treasury De
partment at Washington, this spring
we had the pleasure of seeing these
handsome swords. They make the eye
water, with the sight of the gold and
the Jenels on their hilts. The lady
will have to prove a pretty clear title
we judge, however, before she can ob
tain them.
