It is thought that western leaJers
of the democracy have intimated to
Tilden that he must patch up the
Tammany fight at home and carry
New York at all hazards, or they will
nominate Thurman or some other

ing's friends that he must carry Ohio,
r Tilde will be the nominee. In this
way they hope to force eacli ono to his
utmost endeavors to carry his own
state. When done a new man might
still be nominated-for all that, amd
then a Republican President may be
elected.

horse, Edwin Forrest, driven by John

mile that ever was made in the world,
on a three-quarter mil track, on if r.
IJonnei's farm near Tarrytown. The
first quarter was marie in b-1, the half
in 1:5', the three quarters i iS1, and
the full miie iu 2:11 nf . Thrru watches
were held on him. The fastest made
the mile in 2:1 1 aHd the slowest in

been knows privately as the fastest

not unlikely that the report is correct.

From Srnator Z. Chandler's speech at Machine,

It is said that the Republican party
has fyllulled it mission, and ought t
die. No party is better prepared to
die. On its monument can be written
that it has fulfilled every pledge it liai
made to the American yeoplo. Ought

made other arrangements. It took the
country from the lowest of humilia
tion, ar-d railed it to the highest pin
nacle of rrosperty. It found the 5 per

cents are wortli 102. It has built the
railroads which the country needed,
and it ? - improvfed tlio rivers and

the National life by redeeming its
pledge, aca it ledeemed another on th

honor. The panic of lf37 wa worse

SIDE OF THE GAGE COUNTY
STUKY.
freight Hates, &c. &c.
Editor of Courier. My attention has
been called to the articles in your pa
per of the last two issues. I think
they aro unfair, and trust you will
give me the opportunity to say a word
or two to the people of Gage county
and particularly to the people of Bea
trice. Neither directly nor indirectly
has any threat against the interest of
Gage county, nor Beatrice, been intend
ed or made by me or any other agent
of this company. On the contrary our
plans for railroad construction have
been of such a character as would most
largely tend to the best interests of
both the county and town.
In the execution of these plans this
company has considered the question
of bond subsidies only as a secondary
matter. If the counties through which
we may build were in a position to
contract with this company that the
road which we build would not be
taxed for additional lines in the future
no bonded aid would ha asked. As aa
earnest proof of this fact I have been
authorized as the agent of tins com
pany to give security for the construc
tion of our road through Gage county
aud Beatrice without a dollar of bouds,
providing the other line which now
has its proposition befwro the county
will also construct without bonds.
We appreciate that when competing
lines are built on fair terms that they
benefit the general interests of the
country. "We appreciate, too, that it is
unwise and useless to oppose their con
struction. Our policy lias been to make
no contest, for if it be the will of the
people to vote bends, they will vole
them if it requires a half dozen elec
tions. But were such an attempt is made
as the proposition for 8100,000 now be
fore the Gage county people, I have
the right as the representative of one
of the largest property-owners in the
county to state, as I did to the Beatrice
people two weeks ago, that they were
in danger of throwing away the sub
stance fbr the shadow, and that if they
placed so heavy a burthen upon their
county and town, they would necessa
rily drive away enterprise which was
striving to rea?h thorn.
This is no threat, nor is it intended
as a threat. Yours truly,
A. F. Touzalix.
In regard to freight matters be
tween the U. P. & B. & M. the follow
ing appears in the Daily papers.
to Noi:THWi:sTi:nK Nebraska stock
men. You are hereby advised that the
rate of August 14th, 1370, on North

with strong probabilities of lower rates
soon.
The attention of stock shippers i3
called to the fact that the farther east
they drive the more profitable will it
be to them, as the nearer they come to
the B. & M. the lwer per mile are the
rate?, even if t hey are unable to ship

In the address of Dr. Peck from
which we mads an extract last week,
wo find the following array of facts,
these stubborn things," in answer to
tlie oft repeated assertion, that the
the tendency of the free uso of wine
and beer is to diminish intemperance.
Beer Drinking.
Beer drinkers who congratulate
themselves that they aro not whisky
drinkers, and who expect to escape
the penalty of intemperance, may as
well understand that the facti are all
against them. Dr. Crothers, an able
editor, says: "In appearance the betr
drinker may be the picture of health,
but in reality he is the most incapable
of resisting disease. A slight injury,
severe cold, or shock to the body or
mind will commonly provoke acute
disease, ending fatally. Compared
with the inebriates who use different
forms of alchohol, he is more generally
diseased. The constant use of beer
every day gives the system no time
for recuperation, but steadily lowers
the vital forces; it is our observation
that beer drinking in this country pro
duces the yery lowest forms ef inebri
ety, closely allied to criminal insaaity.
The most dangorous clas of tramps
and ruffians in large cities are beer
drinkers. It is asserted by more com
petent authority that the evils of he
redity are more positive in this class
than from alcoholics. If these facts
are well founded, the recourse to bear
as a substitute for alcohol merely in
creases the danger and fatality follow-
It is asserted th.it if wine and beer
drinking were encouraged it would
decrease intemperance. Did it ever
occur to you that every beer sa'o.m is
a temperanco society and every beer
garden is a reform club? Yet the
Brewers Congress in Baltimore last
June declared their object was to pro
mote temperance! Now for a fact. In
lsiJ8 there were made l.oJJOU;) barrels
of malt liquors, which in 1371 had in
creased to 7,030,000 barrels. By their
logic drunkenness must have decreased
in pro'.ioi tioii. But daring those eight
years the number of drunkards increas-
elfru'a 400,020 to 7)i,000. At that1
ratio, in 2.1 years the diunkards would
number two or t!:re millions.
Fngland tried the experiment iti
by Parliament posing the"B.?er Ar," j
which opened U 3,0 JO beer-shops. Di 1 j

A coiiiiiiiitee of the 11 ni.se of Lords
reported, after a t; ill wf t w t :ity years,
"The t.bsohite cotjsump'.ini of (ardent)
spirits ha. ;;. diminished." Tliat

Turn to wine countries. Look at
Italy. Cardinal Acton, then .s-.tprenn
Judge in Kome, deelared that nen ly all
the crime "originated in the use of
win''"
Take France, the wino country of the
world.
The Paris Constitutionnel said in
lST'J: "The habit of drunkenness lia3
increased in France year by year since
th? beginning of this centurv. The
French we is rfetvrioratiit'j il-iily. In
forty years the consumption of alcVaol
has tnph'rl in Framcp." A F reach ma
gazine writes: "Drunkenness is the be
ginning and en 1 of life in the great
French industrial centres, among wo
men as well as men. T wenty-fire out
of every one hundred men and twelve
out of evey one hundred women in
Lisle aie confirmed drunkards."
France consumes mure strong drink,
in addition ts wine, than America pr
cupit't.
Dr. Albert Day, f Boston, who had
more inebriates under his treatment
than any man in the world, stated:
"A hirje iwijority of the four thousand
cases of inebriety which I have treated
commenced their course of drunken
ness by tlie use of what is termed light
drinks, such as wine, beer, etc. I am
fully satisfied that tho use of these
light beverages is the initiatory step
to a life of inebriety." His successor,
Mr. Lawrence, says: "The appetite for
strong drink is formed ia early life by
drinking the light drinks, such as lager-beer,
ale, wine, etc."
Shall we hang our colors at half
mast and encourage or sanction this
insidious moderate drinking which
leads many into the depths of inebria
tion? N! we will nail oar flag to the
forepeak of total abstinence, shouting
gladly, '-No su r render, no com promise !"
Whiskey is the lion, wine or beer but
the sneaking jackal that hunts down
the game which tha lion finally devours!
And the Sabbath saloan and beer-garden
is the hunting ground of this
prowling jackal. Interior.

The U. P. Hippopotamus has waded
botk hi big rivers the Platte and
Loup and splashed across all such lit
tle streams as the Blue and the Blk
horn. The B. & M. Lion is bounding over
the plain in every direction through
the (South Platte country and has leap
ed the Piatte iu one place and ventur
ed into Mesopotamia, the sacred realm
or Hippopotamus.
The A. X. Tiger is actually beat
ing a patli from tlie old capital to tho
new, and he and the B. cV: M. Lion are
rubbing if not scratching plunks, in
haste to feast in the. now abandoned
pjt resort of the hippopotamus.
Tho U. ?c X. Bull-dog walks quickly
over to Oakland and takes a square
meal served up by the sons and daugh
ters of Legan.
Tlie L V. Mastiff, having first risen
up from his long repose to prosecute
with calm dignity his search for food,
but now animated by the heavy tread
of Hippopotamus across his path, is
bounding aloRg the vales of the Elk
horn. He proposes to switch his tail
in the eyes of Hippopotamus all the
way from Norfolk to X'iobrarn, and
after the brisk race get tho first lap of
the panting tongue at the brink of tlie
Missouri. Also, to get first bone with
meat on, at the cattle pens of Aqua
Pura, Antelope and little Cedar.
Last of all conies leaping across our
north border from Covington toward
Cheyenne the B.'ack Hills Leopard,
and from his narrow and crooked path
the C. C. & B. II. Wild Cat glides away
into the brush bc-fora the Leopard's
fiery eye.
The Pen and Plow enjoys the sight
of the whole arena thus enlivened by
tho uncaged and perambulating mena
gerie, but with special pleasure whistles
to the MastilT to come up here right
away, and get a small bone with meat
on a mere expression of good will and
a slight foretaste of the bread and flesh
in store for the Mastiff, at the Termi
