The Herald. frio. ft. AacMurpht, Editor. PLATTSMOUTII. MAY 20. 1881. Gex". Kilpatrick is at last nomin ated as minister to Chili. Mcbride has got it another printer boyrin luck, shake. Strip Blaine of the power to do mischief, and then compare the two men. If patronage makes the man, what a hero Robertson must be with 000 flices In his pocket, for his followers. If Conkling men were net in the majority in N. Y. why do the admin istration Senators refuse to enter the eaacus. Conkling, Piatt and Vice President Arthur arrived in Albany Tuesday afternoon, and the thermometer rose at once. TnEKE is no patronage, no offices be hind Roscoe Conkling now, weee him as he is. If he wins this fight, it is on his merits alone. Remember Decoration Day next Monday, and the meeting of the G. A. It. n Friday evening (to-morrow) to perfect arrangements therefore. There is scarcely a doubt that both Ohio and New York will go democrat ic this fall, owing to the quarrel be tween the stalwarts and half-breeds. Deacon Richard Smith, an Ohio man, a bitter anti-Grant man, and anti-Conkling man editor of the Cin. Gazette is the last one. He lays it all to Blaine, see telegrams. It is reported that J. C. McBride has been appointed to the Lincoln Post-OfHce, Mr. Kaley, of Red Cloud, Consul to Chemnitz; and E. K. Rogers of Fremont to Tera Cruz. The state pride of New York is coming to the front and its citizens are beginning to "dee" how they would feel with Conkling slaughtered and Jas. G. Blaine virtual senator from N. Y. It bites. It is curious until the Gazette inti mated that GarGeld might have "made a mistake, all the Ohio papers stood by the President right or wrong. We should think N. Y. would stand by her greatest man. Robertson wss confirmed only four votes being against him, no caucus was held. On Friday the Senate ad journed sine die. If it had performed that act two months agb the Republi can party would be in better shape than now. Special to The Evening Telegram. London, May 211 p. m.

The Evening Telegram" Is a new evening daily just started by three? of the old Bee employees, at Omaha. Messrs. Denelly, Johnson & Smith.

It is said that the Democrats hope for a Demo cratic Senator from New York. In that case the Dems. will vote for Conkling. The Admiinistration is reported as being desirous of two Republican Senators in place of Conkling and Piatt. Senaters Piatt and Conkling close their letter to the Governor as follows: In this instance prominence has been given to the subject and such distrust expressed of the correctness of our positions, that we think it right and dutiful to submit the matter to the power to which alone we are bound and ever ready to bow. The legisla ture is in session. It is republican in majority, and New York abounds in sons quite as able as we to bear her message and commission in the United States. With a profound sense of the obligation we owe. with devotion to the republican party and its creed of liberty and right, with reverent attach ment to the great state whose interests and honor are dear to us, we hold it respectable and becoming to make room for for those who may correct all errors we have made and interpret aright all duties we have miscon ceived. We therefore enclose our resignations, but hold fast the privil ege as citizens and republicans to stand for the constitutional right of all men's mind, of all representation, whether of the state, the nation or the people." The June Rise. Whether this is that expected dis turbance in the Big Muddy or no is the question, but certain it is that the water is coming up all along the line, and the low flats near the water's edge are once mere fading from view. Since yesterday the. river has raised about six inches, and at one o clock to-day stood eleven feet one inch above high water mark. Omaha Paper- As an individual we care no more for Conkling in this fight -than for RoDertson or any one else, and could we see the plain facts as eur Blaine friends think they see them, we would be the strongest Anti Conkling men in existence. We despise bossism, let it be Blaine bossism or Conkling or L Grant bossism. We oppose the power of patronage, and believe in an honest civil service reform and a return of the power of the government, as far as practicable, to the . people, from which it has b?en wrested an 1 kept by Politicians of all parties and both fac tions. We oppose the use of the offices of the U. S. for the. private benefit of Blaine, Conkling, Mr. 'Robertson or even President Garfield himself. -That is where we stand, could we see that Mr. Conkling demanded the collector's office for his use and then resigned because he did not get it no language would be too strong to express our disapproval. But the facts show that Badeau was removed to make room for Merritt that Robertson might be put there at the instance of Blaine. Why? that Baliue might use the state of N. Y. to further his personal ends and aims politically, and crush Conkling, a great Republican leader whom he hated. Now, why should a cabinet officer dictate a nomination or a set of nom inations, to the President any more, or as much, as a senator? There's where the President was lame. If he had said : "hands off, Mr. Conkling; hands off, Mr. Blaine; I'll settle this quarrel; this is a National office and I'll appoint a number one business man from Nebraska, or Illi nois, or California;" and had either kicked, then the whole people should have stood by the President to a man; tut when a Maine cabinet officer practically dictates a New York ap pointment, of a New York man, over the New York Senators' heads, if the great state of N. Y. (?) they tell about has any pride, she'll return the Sena tors too quick. That's the pure political view of it, and there is no need to extend the quarrel here. From the higher standpoint, that in order to-secure a better civil service, and that no man should be removed from his office during his term except for charges, the whole people are in terested. Somewhere in this fight the people want to come in and demand that their servants shall be honest, and when found so, and giving satis faction to fie people whom they more immediately serve, they shall not be removed for the personal whims of any politician, senator, cabinet officer, or clique w ho want the place. The whole atmosphere at Washing ton seems corrupt, and as long as sena tors and members can use the ofiices as private perquisites for their pets, so long the people will have to pay taxes to support swindling mail con tractors, surveyors and bosses of a hundred sorts. This is the real question that inte rests the people, and if this present "unpleasantness" should bring about a party that would do this, it would be "good-bye Jack," to the old issues, once the people understood what it meant for them. One other point is noticable and worthy of attention by the western farmer. This fight is not one for reform of abuses, it is not to curb monopoly power, or to benefit the masses in any way. Every man they propose to re place Conkling with is a Railroad Attorney, and a corporation man. Robertson, the leader, is a C. R. R. Attorney; Depew, their favorite for Senator, is a relative of the great rail road magnates and a corporation At torney. So far no railroad power has ever gobbled Roscoe Conkling and perhaps we western men might better "let the job out" of helping to beat this man of courage and brains until we ascer tain, at least, whether he may not be the friend we need, and the power de manded at head quarters to stem the tide of wholesale corruption and giant wrong-doing complained of by the toilers and workers of the land. Washington Notes. the democratic policy. Washington, May 21. The demo cratic leaders are watching the situa tion at Albany closely, with a view of getting ono senator if xossible. If that cannot be done the democratic members of the New York legislature will vote with the stalwarts for Conk ling. A dispatch received here by prominent democrats from party lead ers in New York indicate that policy, and it meets with general democratic approval here, on the ground that the democrats should assist to send Conk ling back to continue his opposition to the administration. Several promi nent administration republicans of New York, who have been here watch ing the event,, leave to-niglit for Albany. They spent some time with Secretary Blaine this morning, and got the views of the administration in regard to the New York senatorial election. the administration is desirous of having two i publican senators in place of Conkling and Piatt, who will be in harmony with it, and it is understood this is what Sec retary Blaine stated to-day together with advico as to the New York sen atorial election. Mahone voted with the republicans for the confirmation of Chandler, yes terday. - DEATH OF TOM. SCOTT. The Famous Railway President Died This Morning. Special to the Eveuing Telegram. Philadelphia, May 211 p. m. Thomas Alexander Scott, the famous railway president and capitalist, who has been ill for a long time, died at 5 o'clock this, morning. He had been ill of" a complication of diseases which resulted in paralysis. He was 57 years of age. Buffalo Stalwarts. Special to tlie Telegram.

Mr. Smith has always been an anti . Grant, anti-Cotikllntl, Civil Ser vice Reforming- Son of Ohio, and his word ought to be good. Dispatch. J Cincinnati, May, May 22. The public will be surprised to learn no doubt, that all the New York appointments made prior to the late unpleasantness, with the exception of Robertson, were submitted to Conk ling and approved by him. It was in tended, also, to submit them to Sena tor Piatt, but he being absent from Washington, Conkling spoke for him, and associated thus nine offices were filled to SUIT THE NEW YORK SENATORS. Piatt, however, upon his return ob jected to some of the appointments but did not kick. The president had reason to believe, therefore, that the two Senators were satisfied. The lat ter, at the same timo were notified that Robertson would bo appointed in recognition of the independent in the republican organization in this state. This was agreed to by Conk line, but he asked that he be ap pointed to some other office than that of collector. The president did not assent to this, but for the sake of peace, he decided to postpone action in Robertson's case. There was no need for haste, as Merritt had two years to serve and was a good officer. WHO MADE THE MISCHIEF? But at this time Blaine, another pretentious statesman, vaulted into the ring, and claimed that Conkling was getting everything, and insisted that i.is side ought to be recoguized. It is not true that he threatened to resign, but it is a fact that he precipi tated the appointment of Robertson that set Conkling wild. The presi dent was compelled to stand firm. Conkling was willing, if Robertson's name should be- withdrawn, to sup port the administration. He was, furthermore, willing that he might 1 e nominated to any other office. But there was another reason for the withdrawal of Robertson. WHY TLATT RESIGNED. Phitt, as a condition for certain votes necessary to elect him senator, prom ieed to vote for the confirmation of Robertson for any office below that of a cabinet minister. He was, therefore, boun 1 to vote for Robertson, if he re mained in the senate. That would be a blow to Conkling that he was not ready to deliver. Therefore, as the only way of escape, he decided to re sign, and this forced Conkling to re sign also. It is known that up to Saturday night Conkling nOFED FOR THE WITnDRAWL OF ROB ERTSON. He sought n interview with the president to that end, and the latter agreed that there might be an inter view on condition that a third party should te present. Nearly all the Republican senators were anxious that Robertson should be withdrawn and be appointed to some other office, but' the final interview did not occur, and the presidetit was immovable. 'I hereupon, the double resignation was determined upon, and a special messenger was dispatched with it on Sunday night. The president, un questionably in good faith and in the interest of the party, SOUGHT TO RECONCILE THE FACTIONS, and made sacrifices to do it, but oil and water, or more properly speaking, fire and water will not mix. In this vain effort the president made ap pointments in this stata and else where that should not have been made, and after all the fight is on. This 13 the weak feature on the presi dent's side. If in all this ugly bust iness CIVIL SERVICE REFORMERS can find evidence of reform they will be fortunate. In the result so far Conkling has learned a lesson, but therein is also a lesson for the presi dent that he cannot safely disregard. There are other dangers than those to be fouud in Conkling's camp, and it may be, he has found friends who are at this hour his worst enemies. This is the view of many prominent Re publicans here, whose sympathies are all with tne president. The outcome of this whole business, as regards the Republican party will depend, not on what the president has done near as much as on what he may do. and the prayer of all sincere republicans is tha; he may be wisely directed and safely delivered from the snares that so-called friends are spread ing in h's path. Nobody will object to seeing Mc Briiie sent to the Sandwich Islands or some other seaport, but why stick him here, where nobody, wants him? Sena tor VanWyck must have something in view, and the congressional nomina tion for his friend Tefft. would he al most as good as secured, with Cass, Lancaster and Otoe a unit for the statesman of the Weeping Water, would it not. senator? We advise Judge Weaver, Church Howe and E. E. Brown to keep a sharp lookout, tr they will be everlastingly scooped, provided W.n Wyck is allowed to put his man in the Lincoln postofflce. McBride in the Lincoln postoflice means a power which would not hesi tate one moment at fixing up a cau cus or two. Lincoln Democrat. What a guesser this Col. Wis? Now we always thought before, that Sam. Chapman was to be our next candidate for Congress. So it's to be Orlando, eh I Well, go further and fare worser, an old adage says. Mr. Conkling's Words. He pointed to the open boast that Robertson had over a thousand ap pointments in his pocket, ready for use, and then said: "Remember that I, in compliance with what I regard my duty, divested myself of all the pres tige, all the prerogatives belonging to the office with which I was honored by my state. I could not to-day assist my staunchest friend to attain the humblest posit'on in the gift of the administration. If you desire me to be a candidate, I will obey your wish es, but I cannot give you any other support but my political reputation, my name, my republicanism, and my desire to give my best services to this great state. For success I must look to your friendship and the good will of my fellow republicans." The prominent New York leaders then decided that it was best for all interests that ConkliHg aud Piatt should enter the contest for re-election. AT LAST. The 'ew lork Conference. PLAN OF BATTLE. Special Telogram to the Inter Ocean. New York, May 22. A conference of stalwart Republicans was held this afternoon at the residence of Vice President Arthur. Conkling and Piatt left the Fifth Avenue Hotel early in the afternoon and .went di rectly to the Vice President's house. Soon after Representative Republi cans began to gather at the same place, and only a few were actually engaged in the conference, but many were gathered to hear the result and offer their advice. What transpired was not given out for publication, but it is understood that Mr. Conkling ex hibited a large number of letters and telegrams affirming his action and urging him to be a candidate for re election. It is also understood, that he announced that he would accede, to the request, of his friends and be a candidate, and Mr. Piatt also decided. Confident assurances were given by the majority of -those present that he (Conkling) could be elected without difficulty. It was also decided that Conkling and Piatt should go to Al bany in company. Will Conkling and Piatt be candi dates. "Yes, and I believe . " THET WILL BE ELECTED. The paper which the half breeds have got thirty signatures to is merely a pledge not to vote for candidates op posed to the administration. It will not keep any one out of the caucus, nor prevent anyone from voting for Conkling and Piatt. They will not make the contest on the ground of op position to the administration, although they will not pledge them selves to support it Thsy will show the country that New York stalwarts and her senators are upheld in refus ing to be insulted with impunity by an Ohio politiciau." THE ADMINISTRATION SIE. Said an administration Republican: We expected the result from the first, but Conkling and Piatt cannot be elected, and we have fifty two names of Republican members of the Legislature pledged not to go into any caucu3 before which Conkling and Piatt will be candidates. There are many who follow the same courso who do not care to sign. The senti ment of the true Republicans of the State is unanimously against the course of Conkling aud Piatt. It is the worst kind of State's right doc trine, aud would breakup the party, and members of the Legislature who were elected as 'machine' men will hesitate before commmitting political suicide by voting for Conkling and Piatt. Neither of them can be re turned again, and there are plenty of men who can be elected who will rep resent the State properly, but Conk ling and Piatt never not even with the assistance of the Democrats, which I understand Mr. Conkling is now seeking." L. A. CONSTANTINE, editor of the Evening Post: "It is an effort of the monopolists to kill Conk ling off. Gould is in it, and it will be shown that Blaine is there too. Conk ling is an honest man has never been charged with anv jobs or steals since he has been in office, even by his worst enemies. The mononolists of the State are all against him because they cannot use him." Conkling further said, personally, he would rather retire to private life, he had served the State faithfully for years, and would prefer to do some thing for himself; but he was in the hands of his friends and must abide the result. He disliked to go to Al bany particularly but if necessary he would. He positively refused to I e a party to any scheme which left Piatt out, saying that he would staud by the man that stood by him in demand ing that the President should respect the wishes of the State of New York. CHANGE IN AFFAIRS. Albany N. Y., May 21. Tiro be lief is gaining ground here that there has been an organized conspiracy to break down the influence and ruin the character of Senator Conkling, and the further the investigation goes the stronger this belief becomes. The men who are at the head of the anti Conkling movement throughout the country are all lukewarm Republicans. This gives additional backing V the rumors that the war on Conkling is really a war ou the Republican party, and an attempt to resurrect the old Greeley movement. Waifs A boat Thiugs. TAKING THE CHANCES. Washington, May 18. The Vice President has not yet given notice to the senate to elect a uresident pro tern, this causing considerable talk among the senators. Should no such notice be given, the president pro tern cannot be elected during the recess, aud until the meeting of the next congress there will be no speaker of the house. Should the President and Vice President both happen to die, and this Senate adjourn without elect ing a temporary president that wonld bring a serious condition of affairs. Arthur has not signified his purpose as the temporary president, but some believe he will call for one yet. The bitterness' between the Ctnk lingites and the anti-Conklingites is even greater than the bitterness between republicans and dem ocrats and this is but natural. Par ties may and do honestly differ; but factions within parties, is treason to party. Take notice, if you please, that Gar field send for Blaine immediately and in all haste, after learning about the resignations. This is important and is what the lawyers call, circumstantial evidence, which goes to prove that Blaine is the power behind the throne. Will our rebublican contemporaries admit that there is a fuss in their pol itical family, or will they still persist in saying, like old Van did, when he returned from Washington, "don't be lieve a word of it; it is all in the dem ocratic mind's eye; the republicans are all agreed." Lincoln Democrat. The Washington correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel savs: "The piesideut admits now. that he made a mistake in withdrawing the other nominations, and he feels would occu py a much strouger position had he not been counseled to take the step. To add to the gravity of the situation. so far as the President is concerned. the terrible pressure to which he has been subjected since he got into the quarrel is telling upon his health. He does not sleep well at night, as an in spired editor chronicled, his eye is dull his cheeks are pale, his appetite is gone. I have it direct from one who called at the White House a few nights ago that he found the President in his room with his head bowed and his hands supporting it. Looking up, he said, with a feeling of despondency and almost despair, "My God what does any man want to be President of the United States for?" "nr ETtmptranee Column."

A significant warning to beer-drinkers comes from Canton, Ohio, where in a saloon a young man recently "mixed drinks" by taking "one glass of whiskey and two of beer." The tele gram says that while drinking the second glass of beer he was noticed to gasp for breath, and his head fell for ward on to the counter. Removed to a kitchen adjoining the saloon, he "re clined oir some old carpet, and in a few minutes was a corpse." It is add ed that at ai autopsy by two physi ceans his deatli "was found to have been caused by the fermentation of the beer in his st tmacJi, causing the forma tion of carbonic acid gajf which caused a paralysis of the heart, lungs, and brain. The victim was also described as "an unusually healthy and vigorous young man." This is an impressive warning against "mixing drinks," or tampering in any way with either whiskey or beer. - The inhabitants of Edward County. 111., do not support any Temperance lecturers, or spend their time talking about Temperance They decided twenty-five years ago that no liquor should be sold in the county, and since that time they have sent but one person to the penitentiary, and he committed a crime while drunk with whiskey procured in an adjoining county; they support but two or three paupers, and their jail is empty most of the time. Their taxes are 32 per Cent lower than the adjoining coun ties, and their terms of court occupy three days in the year, while their tax rolls show that they return more property than any other county in the State of equal population. This is a case where the minority canuot com plain of any invasion of private right, for the people are uuanimously op posed to license under anv circum stances. Families seek the place as a good place to bring up their children. When confronted with the statistics of this model county, even old topers admit there is something in it; but it evidently is not whiskey. It Don't Pa v. It don't pay to have one citizen in the lunatic asylum, be cause another citizen sold him liquor. It don t pay to have one citizen in the county jail, because another citi zen sells him liquor. It don't pay to have fifty working men ragged, to have one saloon keeper in broadcloth, and flush of money. It dnn't pay to have ten smart, act ive, intelligent boys transformed into thieves, to enable one man to lead an easy life, by selling them liquor. It don't pay to have fifty working men and their families live on bone soup and half rations, in order that one saloon keeper ray flourish on roast tin key and champagne. It dn't pay to have one thousand homes I. lasted, ruined, defiled, and tuin.d into a hell of discord and mis ery, in order that one wholesale liquet dealer may amass a large fortune. It don't pay to give one man for $500 a year a license to sell liquor, and then spend 3300 on a trial of an other man for buying that liquor and committing murder under its influ ence. The Medical and Surgical Reporter publishes from a medical contributer a very interesting and suggestive ac count of a man who whs an habitual periodical drinker, accustomed to get upon a two or three weeks spree every six or eight weeks, and who in sisted upon being bled freely from the arm at the end of his spree as a means of ''sobering up." At one of these bleed. ngs an attendant holding the vessel to receive the blood, "was struck by the odor -of the blood being so strongly alcoholic, and, concluding to see for himself if it was alcohol in the blood, he set the vessel containing the bloi-d aside for a couple of hours, when there was found floating upon the coagulated blood a liquid resem bling alcohol, and which burned with the characteristic flame of alcohol." This is additional and significant evi der.ee as to the inutility of alcohol as fcod. .Not only has alcohol no food value but it is so foreign to the human body as to work therein serious de-rai-gemf-nt of its normal functions. .
