can simply stand aside and see what

haps it is for the best that it should be

certain if the democracy insist on de
stroying the guards to the purity of

whether the President vetoes or not
the result will be a solid Republican
north, and the sooner it comes the bet
ter. This being the last issue of the pres
ent volume of the IIkkald we send a
statement of account to such of our
subscribers as are owing for more than
a year. We have been very lenient in
poshing these accounts, owing to the
hard times, but it hardly seems pessi -ble
that those of our subscribers who
are farmers cannot pay ns in some of
the commodities which they raise if not
by cash. We have repeatedly offered to
take corn, oats, bay, wood, butter,
eggs, chickens or vegetables, at the
market price, and yet we have had to
pay cash for these things while some
of our subscribers were owing us, of
tentimes several years, on subscrip
tion. .
We will give the recipients of these
statements thirty days to pay up these
accounts or show very good cause why
we should wait for them a while lon

to the account and all over two years

Dckixo our late visit to Chicago we
dopped in to see the famous Md:ne.
Anderson on her big walk. The result
is given elsewhere.
She is a large well built woman, and
dressed in a long grey Ulster made al
most like a man's. Her hair was plait
ed in one long braid which hung down
her back. Below she wore tights, wool
en stockings and broad soled leather
shoes laced high on the ankle. When
she had completed her quarter, she
threw herself on the bed to catch
her allotted sleep. Her attendants at
once removed her shoes aud bathed her
feet. At the tinkle of the bell they
relaced her shoes, raised her up bodily
and stood her on her feet, ("often be
fore she woke up,) and started her on
the next quarter of a mile. She moved
off on a long free swinging gait and on
walking along side of her we found
that easy as she seemed to go along we
could hardly keep up for even a short
distance. She did not appear to us to
suffer and we saw no staggering, groan
ing or moaning as the papers reported.
We also saw some very fine Short
Horn stock in and around Galesburg,
111. We visited the farm of Mr. Thay
er near Woodhull. and grangerized
generally among the short horns, long
wools and good people of that State.

Citr Election. .
Odr city election, is approaching.
The Herali would earnestly reccom
mend that no factious fight be entered
upon, especially for temperance' or
anti-temperance that is to that ex
tent that it would exclude men
from nomination, otherwise reli
able atd good business men, simply
because they do not choose to sign a
teetotal abstinence pledge. We say
this with the kindest feelings to all
the temperance people, with a sincere
wish for their success in redeeming
known drunkards from the habitual
use of liquor, aud with the hope that
they may Induce all persons to take
their pledge if they can by proper meth
ods bo induced so to do. On the oiher
hand we ask the pronounced whisky
men and the selier of liquors to not
make a fight on this iasue. It is not
necessary. It would be harmful to our
business interests. We will not sup
port that; we will not give our aid to a
radical temperance ticket run on that
basis alone; that is, to say that good
men should be shut out simply because
they do not belong to a temperance or
ganization. We do not expect to take
an active part either way.. We do not
know that our advice is needed, bat we
do know this: For some months an
active, sound, earnest end:avor has
been made to get our city finances in
good shape and cancel a certain portion
of our indebtedness. It can be success
ful if properly managed. It will be
successful if such a fight is not inaugu
rated. Mayor Johnson has worked
long and faithfully on this, so have oth
er members of the council. We want
it to succeed for the good of the city and
thebest interests of morality, sobriety
and good government. A city in debt
cannot call to her aid her best citizens ;
she cannot call to her aid all her re
sources. This compromise can be
made if our present general officers are
re-elected ; if good, fair business men,
temperate and sober in their habits, are
put in the council from each ward, we
ask this as a duty, as the highest obliga
tion that a sober, temperate, honest
christian citizen can do. Property will
come up, improvements will be made,
new capital will tlow in, our city will
grow and prosper if this is done. If not
we will wag along in tribulation and
sorrow for years, yet.
Let the old general officers be re
nominated to a ma, and no opposi
tion; and in the Wards good reli
able business men ; that's all we ask.
We need good School Directors, too;
our schools are doing well ; better than
ever. Do not spoil a good thing by
factloiu opposition. Let us elect a
good ticket of square, honest business
men, all around aud a blight future
looms up for us financially, politically
and educationally.

Man Killed!!
On Monday Evening last, as the
evening freight train was backing
down to the transfer, shortly after
pass'ng the bridge South of the Depot
the second car from the end was found
to be off the track. ' The train was
stopped and it was ascertained that
the body of an unknown man was un
der the wheels. The body was badly
mutilated about the head and almost
unrecognizable. It is supposed to be
the body of a Gorman, who was in
Guthmau'tf during the afternoon and
bought some crackers saying he was
going East when the train went. In
his coat was found a bottle of water.
He evidently rushed out of the Depot
as the train passed intending to take
possession of the empty rreigat car
and secure a passage East. He mast
have slipped while trying to get in the
rear door of the car and was dragged
over the bridge where his body finally
threw the trucks off. The crackers
were strewn from the bridge to the
peint at which the car stopped. No
one knew him. A testament with the
name of Hubert Porreman was also
found on his person and this is the n
ly clue to his identity.
A Jury was immediately impannel
ed at the Depot and after examining
the train men and other witnesses
brought in the following verdict:

The lecture by Hon.-T. W.Tipton
on Friday night last was more largely
attended, we are happy to say, than
any previous lecture of the course, and
we think no one of the audience went
away other than satisfied with the ex
position which they had heard of - a
God in the Government. We were not
aware ourselves, until Mr. Tipton's
masterly array of facts so clearly
placed it before us, how thoroughly
our forefathers had incorporated into
the various articles of our government
the belief in a -God of Nature, a Cre
ator, a Divine Providence, The Great
Governor of the World, who has been
pleased to incline the hearts of the leg
islatures to approve of and ratify ar
ticles of confederation and perpetual
union in the year of our Lord 1778, a
Supreme Judge of the World," and
how the acts of those men who are
claimed to be infidels, 'showed clearly
their trust in this Creator, this Divine
Providence, and their belief that he
aided them in the great work they
were doing. We have not read nor
heard Ingersoll on fcThe Only Govern
ment with which the Gods have noth
ing to do," but we are at a loss to un
derstand how even so subtile and bril
liant a reasoner as he can make a case.
Mr. Tipton's style is peculiar, his mo
tions and gestures not always elegant
by any means, and his voice not pre
possessing, but his enunciation is dis
tinct and' deliberate, his arguments
clearly and logically put, and his power
of withering his opponent with his tell
ing sarcasms, which latter facial ty
gained him no little reputation in
Congress, enable him to he'd the at
tention of his audience througho
and send them away feeling that he
has handled his subject with power,
and taught them in the clearest man
ner possible many truths they did not
know beire. e wisu we hau space
for further review of his fine effort.
Mr. Tipton remained in the city over
Sunday and delivered at the Methodist
church, on Sunday evening, his lecture
Pulpit Eloquence Fifty Years Ago,
which was pronounced by many super
ior to his previous lecture.
We have only space for a few words
in regard to the course of lectures
wine a nave just been unisneu in our
city. We cannot too highly commend
the energy and deteiminatian of Pref.
Love, who, in the face of discourage'
ment and prophecy that the people
would not support him, inaugurated
this series and carried it to a fairly
successful termination, having at least
five cents left in the treasury to in
vest for the High School.
The people, too, deserve a word of
commendation, having done better in
stead of worse toward the last of the
course; and although it would speak
better for the intellectual statii3of her
people and tho future intelligence of
her children if we could call out four
times the i. umber, still tho attendance
was fairly sustained and such as t
give hope that with a little more edu
cation in the art of attending lectures,
Plattsmouth may get up quite a repu
tation in that line after all.
