The Cass County Recorder, the new

the appearance of a gentleman, is evi
dently a man of some education and
some qualifications for his ausiness,
capablo of writing matter that may
instruct and educate the people. If
so no one will welcome him to this
state more heartily, nor aid his labors
more warmly than the editor of this
paper. Good men and true, men of
thought and culture are needed in the
business, but this county has had
enough of -Blacksmiths" as printers,
and half educated immoral and vicious
pretenders trying to run a so-called
newspaper, without being able to
write the English language decently,
or having the first element of knowl
edge either of the uiechanical or in
tellectual part of the business. There
is no license required to run a news
paper, no diploma granted, as in other
professions, no guard thrown around
the business to prevent any pretender
who can get a few second-hand type
Uetherand a press from imposing
on" the public; therefore the public
themselves should guard the matter
by their influence and patronage. Sup
port a good paper, intelligently and
honestly edited to the utmost but by
voice and action you should put down
ignorance, stupidity and false preten
sion when aspiring to the ediUni'l
chair.

The Omaha Saengerfest.
This grand event is looked for with
great interest, especially by the Ger
man citizens of our grand Northwest.
This Sangerfcst is given under the
auspices of the Omaha Music Associa
tion, and the first of the kind ever held
there, being the seventh biennial gath
ering of the German Singing Societies
of the Northwest. There will be a se
ries of festivities, commencing June
8th, and ending on the 12th, the first
day being set for the reception of
guests, second and third for Grand
Concerts, the fourth for business meet
ings, banquet and ball, and winding up
with a monster picnic on the fifth.
Eighteen societies from all parts of the
Northwest will take part in the Con
certs, and a grand chorus of 300 to 350
will make the welkin ring, our own
Liederkranz being one of the societies
that will take part in these exercises.
A monster building is now beingerect
ed, with a seating capacity qf 3,000,
and stage room for 400 singers. The
vocal part of the eaengerfest is under
the management ot Prof. A. Walther,
of Omaha, and the Orchestra, com
posed of 30 of the best musicians in
these regions, under the leadership of
Prof. Steinhauser, a gentleman well
known for his musical abilities.
No doubt this will be a grand gala
day for our German citizens, and
thousands of visitors will flock to
Omaha from all parts of the country.

The Great Chiefs.
Special DUjKttcii to tlie'Globe-Deinocrat.
Washington, D. C. May G. There
is very littlt if any falling off in the
interest in the New York complica
tions. Wherever a knot is gathered
in the street, at the Capitol, in the de
partments, or about the hotel lobbies,
there will be found politicians of all
grades of character and all shades of
belief, amateurs and professionals, dis
cuss,nfr the situation. The names of
Conkling and Garfield are rolled like
sweet morsels under the tongue, and
the sage opinions expressed are de
cidedly refreshing. The star-route
scandal has retired into the obscure
back ground ; the dead-lock is a dead
issue; Maliow, Gorhara and Riddle
berger are as if ihny hud never been.
While a change is welcomed, Ihp con
centration of public attention, upon
this new theme is likely to exhaust it
more quickly. Amid all the gossip one
view see in s to have gained since last
night, and that is that the withdrawal
of the nominations on the part of the
President is too great a risk to have
been lightly assumed, and is of ques
tionable procedure. The more conser
vative, and some of those who are per
sonally unfriendly to Mr. Conkling,
are inclined to view the Presidential
coup d'etat as an evidence of presiden
dential weakness.
Had Mr. Garfield felt confident of
his strength in the SenaU and been
willing to abide in his faith in the
justice of his cause, he would never
have taken his extraordinary course,
or thought such a course necessary.
The most independent f these conser
vatives unhesitatingly declare jt a
square fight between the two groat
Republican bosses, Blaine and Conk'
ling. There is another belief, which
appears to gain ground and assume
the character of public opinion, and
that is that Conkling must go to the
wall. Men who considered the New
York Senator invincible in his posi
tion on his triumph in the caucus are
now doubtful. Mr, Conkling's nearer
friends are very indignant, and still
adhere to the opinion that the Presi
dent will find before many days that
he has acted very unwiselv. They de
clare that Mr. Garfield will lose still
more of his supporters in the Senate.
Instead of winning friends by such
coercive measures he will alienate
other Republican Senators. While do
ing so he will undoubtedly win Dem
ocratic support, and this, they say,
will still further damage him in the
estimation of his own party. They
charge that no President can override
the power of the Senate by his otlicial
patronage.
CAPITAL AND LABOR.
Brother (Jardncr of The "Limekiln
Club" States ike Problem Clearly.
Detroit Free Tress
The Secretary read the following:
Chicago, April, 20, 1881
Buo. Gardner: Please inform
your friends whether you sympathize
with capital or labor, and oblige a
Workings an.
"In the lust place, dar am no call
for me to sympathize with either," re
plied the old man in answer. "One
am jist as necessary to de odder as two
wheels to a wagon. Capital cl'ars
away a spot and builds a factory, an'
gins fifty or a hundred men a chance
to aim a far support fur demselves
an' families. Dat factory wouldn't
be dar 'cept fur capital, an its wheels
can't move widout labor. If dis work
i'ruan wanted to draw me out on the
question of strikes I has only a word
to say. I believe dat de average em
ployer pays his heJp a fair price and.
ali he can afford to. I L'lieve he knows
his business, an am mo competent
to run it dan de men who labor fur
him. If I can't work fur a man fur de
price he offers, I stan aside. If 1 hire
a man I pay him de goin price, an' I
doan' let him tell me that I must do
thus an' so. Men strike bekase dey
can't dictate, but de same men would
n't be willin'datdeir employers should
dictate to deru how much rent to pay
what close to buy an how to spen'
deir wages. As I said befo dar am
no call fur sympathy in de case. De
mo' strikes we have de less money
will be put into manufactures. When
a capitalist kin loan hi3 money at
good interest he am foolish to put it
into a factory whar demagogs kin har
iss an' ruin him. Jist you remember
what I am talkin. De mo Unions de
less factories. De mo strikes de less
work. Do you think I'm foolish 'nuff
to take my -S800 out'n de bank whar in
terest an principal am safe as a rock
an' put it into a cooper-shop, whar
three workmen could sink de hull of
it in one striko bekase I couldn't pay
uio fur makin' de bar'ls dan de same

comin" to a putty pass when de man

War.
Special Dispatch to the ;lobe-Der.iocrat.
Washington, D. C. May 5. The
war has begun in earnest. If any
doubts existed as to what the Admin
istration intended to do in the Conk-ling-Robertson
imbroglio, such doubts
were set at rest to-day by the with
drawal of names of Mr. Conkling's
friends. These were Stewart L.
Woodford, Payne, McDougal and
Tenny, respectively United States
Marshals and District Attorneys for
the Southern and Northern Districts
of New York. The nomination of
Tyler for Collector of Customs was
also withdrawn. This summary ac
tion of the President created a decided
sensation, and is the only topic in pol
itical circles to-night. It was tele
graphed to all the departments within
half an hour after the message had
reached the Senate, In the Poat
Otfice Department especially the news
created an abnormal stir. While
something was expected to happen
with regard to the New York nomina
tions to-day, it was generally sup
posed that something would originate
at the other end af the avenue. That
the President would take this method
of assuming the offensive appears as
much of a surprise to his friends as to
anybody else. It had been faintly
rumored about midnight last night
that Mr. Conkling would to-day call
up the uncontested nominations from
this State.
Another Comet.
About two o'clock on the morning
of the 1st of May, Professor Lewis
Swift, director of the Warner Observ
atory, at Rochester, N. Y., turned his
telescope to the constellation of An
dromeda and discovered a bright
comet moving in a southerly direc
tion. The new comet is located in the
constellation above named, right as
cension, no hours no minutes; declina
tion 37 degrees North. This is . the
first comet discovered during the pres
ent year, and places Professor Swift in
possession of the 8200 prize which Mr
II. II. Warner, the well-known Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure man, offered
last January for the discovery of
comets. Inasmuch as Prwf. Swift
received five hundred dollars for
the discovery of the comet of 1SS0
from the same gentleman, lie is at la-t
finding astronomy profitable as well
as pleasant. It is not thought the
present comet is the expected one of
1812, although it is in nearly the loca
tion from which the comet is ex
pected; nor is there any reason to be
lieve it will have any effect upon the
earth, or hasten the predicted coming
of the end of the world.
Quite a scare whs created last week
by the report that Sam Barker's cattle
were were all dying and some of the
neighbors.'
Forty head of Barker's cattle were
reported to have fallen dead suddenly,
and five of Draper's.
Parties who went out went out from
here to examine the cattle Saturday
found that sixty nine head had died,
probably from eating and overloading
their stomachs with dry corn stalks.
The blades at this time of year and
this season particularly, are exceeding
ly brittle and resemble when -cru.hcd
an innumerable surface of minute
splinters or needle- ; these mass and
mat togather in the stomach of an an
imal and cannot help but cause great
irritation of the mucous membrane,
intlamatiou and death.
That is all the disease there is about
these cases.
We are very sorry for Mr. Barker
and all others losing cattle in this way
we are gjad for the prosperity of all
that it is no contagious disei se.

Will Cider Intoxicate!
The writer knew a Sunday school
superintendent who would not join a
Temperance society because cider was
prohibited in the pledge.
Also, a lady had her name taken off
when she found out that cider was
prohibited. She said it was harmless,
and she would drink all she wanted of
it, and allow her family to use it. The
following incident shows that cider
can be the cause of habitual and con
firmed drunkenness.
Visiting a friend of mine last Sum
mer, who owned a large farm with a
fine apple orchard, she said suddenly:
'Did you k.iow that cider would make
drunkards?" I answered, "yes, 1 have
often heaid that it will."
"Well," said my friend, "I have, as
you know, never identified myself
with the Temperance work; have
never given the subject much thought,
as I have never had an intemperate
relative in my family, and so cannot
by any means be called a "fanatic" ou
the Temperance question. IJutl have
found out, since I have been on this
farm, that men can beceme drunkards
on cider. We had a great many tine
apples, and in my ignorance I allowed
the hired men to make cider, as the
neighboring farmers did. How bitter
ly I regret this now, for the conse
quence was the men, and my sou also,
drank and drank for days and weeks,
until one man, more intelligent and
more frank than the rest, came and
told me that they would all become
drunkards if there was not a stop put
to it. In alarm for my son, as well as
for the others, I banished the tempta
tion from the place, and becoming a
strong total abstinence woman from
that moment, vowed that not another
drop of cider should be made on my
place again, though the apples rotted
on the ground, for it is known that in
a few hours after the juice is pressed
from apples it will ferment, and fer
mentation will produce alcohol, and
who shalfsay at what moment it is
safe to drink it or nt. The only safe
ty lies in It t ting it alone altogether.
About that time," continued my friend,
"it was told to me that a neighbor on
an adjoining farm, with hia four sons,
had become habitual drunkards from
their annual crop of cider, made regu
larly and kept in the cellar. This ex
amble strengthened me in my resolve
never to have one drop of the article
in my house again."
Leaves of Law.
BY J. ELLEN FOSTER.
Since my last writing I have been
taking depositions in the case now
pending before the civilized world
"The Women of America vs. the Liq
uor Traffic." The original papers were
filed many years ago; by change of
venue, by dtmurers and supplemental
proceedings, the making up of the is
sue was long postponed. In the Wom
an's Crusade the cause was "throws
on the country." and now the trial
proceeds.
The allegations of the petition set
forth that a crime has been committed
even the crime of wasting the na
tion's material resources and making
felonous assaults upon its very life,
they demand the immediate and entire
abolition of the traffic by order of the
Court, aud that such older be framed
in righteous law,
In the city of Millville, N. J.", is a
notable example of the benefits of pro
hibitory legislation. Years ago the
town supported. twenty places where
intoxicating liquors were openly sold;
drunkenness and attendant evils were
rife on every hand. Manufacturing
interests brought large numbers of
mechanics, who proved very ready,
supporters of the traffic and easy .vic
tims of the eyils entailed. Eleven
years ago the people voted to put away
the traffic, and everywhere the bene
ficial results are apparent. The popu
lation, now numbering 8,000, is sober
industrious, happy. 1 here are no
places where liquor is openly sold, and
very little u obtained by unlawful
means. A man who sat at his furnace
in the glass factory told me, "I have
been connected with these woiks for
more than twenty years. 1 know the
emplwyees; their condition is vastly
improved since prohibition went into
effect. Nobody learns to drink in our
town now."
Is not that just what we claim for
prohibition that under it the tempUi
tion is removed, and thus men arc less
likely to acquire the habit of drink,
and that the young are practically safe
from these influences? I found, also, a
ppjiditjon of material prosperity sel
dom realized in a manufacturing city.
Here are situated the extensive glass
factories of Whit all, Tatum & Co., that
employ on an average 1.500 men. A
large proportion of the heads of fami
lies among them own their own homes,
and surround them not only with com
forts but many luxuries, good furni
ture and instruments of music. 1
found everywhere among them a con
dition of material prosperity seldom
reached.
A gentleman a member of this
manufacturing linn said to ine: "Pro
hibition is worth to us as a firm not
less than ten thousand dollars a year
in the general regularity of the men
at their work." Indeed, so assured are
a majority of the people of the benefits
of prohibition, both in principle and
practical operation, that no open li
cense ticket is put in the field; the dis
orderly elements in the community do
often attempt to elect their own sym
pathizers to execute offices under the
law, that thus it may be rendered less
effective, but they make no open as
sault upon tjie system,
Germany and Drinking. Our
German fellow-citizens generally, and
especially those whose monetary in
terests are in the manufacture and
sale of lager beer, claim it to be a Tem
perance drink, and that its use is pro
ductive in manufacturing Temperance
principles and habits; and they claim,
too, that in Germany, where lager ne'er
flows as a river, and is a national bev
erage, drunkenness is unknown. Now,
in the face of these statements, we re
ceive reports from high authority that
are of a contrary nature. We give
them without comment. The Illinois
Staats Zeitung, of Chicago, says:
"Prince Bismarck has under consider
ation for submission to the German
Parliament a new law regarding the
Temperance question. It is substan
tially in accord with the resolutions
adopted Ly the first regular general
synod, and sent in a petition from the
Rhine provinces to the Reichstag at
its last session. Under the proposed
law, persons afflicted with a more than
average degree of habitual drunken
ness will be placed under the care of
guardians, and persons selling liquor
to drunkards, or persons notoriously
addicted to drink, will be fined. Par
ties addicted to intemperance only oc
casionally will also be subject a small
fine.

Lincoln Globe.
In order ts place in a right light be
fore the public and place the credit
where it is so richly due, I desire to
make a statement, which I trust will
have some weight m aiding to frus
trate the combined influence and false
representations that are being brought
to bear upon those who desire to pur
chase a Davis vertical feed Sewing
Machine, and who have but little op
portunity of testing to its full extent
the excellent qualities both in point of
durability and unlimited variety of
work of the machine. I have now a
manufacturing department connected
with my wholesale house in Lincol.i,
turning out thousands of garments in
overalls, jacket, shirts, drawers and a
host of other articles far the trade.
I have been using from 20 to 25 of
the others of the leading makes of
machines for the past five years, and
after a thorough and impartial trial
have found the "Davis" the most dur
able, with a capacity far exceeding
any other machine in the market in
point of work, accomplishing more
work in the same time at about one
third of the cost of repair of any oth
er machine I have tried. The work is
of a class to put machines to severest
test, as they are used on every thing,
from the finest fabric to eight or ten
thicknesses of ten ounce duck; and
were they not well constructed and of
the very best of r teel they could not
possibly stand the severe tests of
work and speed they have undergone
in my establishment.
I have thrown aside all other makes
of machines and am using now the
Davis vertical feed machines exclus
ively. I can cheerfully recommend them
to all as a strong durable machine for
both manufacturing and family pur
poses, capable of doing a large range
of work which it is impossible to do
on the old style rachet of four mo
tion under-feed adopted and used by
an tne machines but the Davis.
