L"B Hampton has intioduced a bill in the house to prohibit a district clerk from keeping a set of abstract books in bis office. This seems to be a direct stab to our district clerk on the part of Representative Hamp ton There is no call or need for each a bill, and it is nonsensical to introduce a bill that is a far:c upon its face. Col. Hoover thinks the people of Wanafar nnnnlv ntlfht tO llUVC a guardian appointed to keep them from being swindled by sharpers. This is a sad enmmentary on the in telligence of our people. The Col. should have thought twice before making such a foolish assertion about people who are generally his equal in every respect. MkaajjBBMiaaawBWHawa If the Nebraska legislature wants to do something to make its name legion, let it pass a bill knocking out the trusts and monopolists formed in the state. Do fcoincthinjr gentlemen, for the benefit of the people who pla ced you in position for that purpose. The idle waste of time in introducing bills of little consequence is becoming tiresome to the people. The ex-politician of Line township, the great solicitor for th; '-big 8," and the "1 would like to be sheriff," the three embraced in one, makes a great man out of our friend Simmons. His ability to solicit Hihseribers is only equalled by the ability of "My uncle's nephew," to .sell his pessimal sheet two for a quarter, for a year, but then as has been said ol bean soup, "It is cheap but fillin'." Gov. Thayer says "the reign of the White Caps must be brif in this state." Correct. Nebraska can not and will not submit to such lawlessness on the part of a class of citizens who olacc themselves above law and the J judiciary. Law and order is the bulwark of the nation as well as the commonwealth and must be maintain ed at all hazzards. The violator ot the law, be he rich or poor, should suffer alike for any infraction thereof. The state legislature is now engag ed in junketing over the state spend ing the money of the people foolishly in moonshine investigations" of the various public institutions, which so far has not resulted in any good. If that intelligent bo.dy would give the people some relief from the oppres sive burdens of taxation, etc., their kindness would be more appreciated by the dear people who elected them to work for their interest, and not for the purpose of having a big time at the expense of the people. He Was Wwi ImtmsiemUA., For the benefit of the Bivertoa En terprise, we will say that Judge Gaa- un aaiournea court oh petition v the Webster county bar. Whatever may be Judge Gaslia's faults the Chief believes in giving him his dues. Yes, that's true, but if our district judge was too drunk to conduct the business that came bctoro him in a proper manner, what are his daes? Will the Chief please tell the people. Was Judge Gaslin too drunk to do business at the last term of the Web ster county court? Who signed the petition for adjournment? What was the reason alleged that the legal business of the county should not have been done at the time set for it? If he wjs publicly and disgrace fully drunk sither at Red Cloud or Bloominirton. what does the Chief think should be done about it? Blue Hill Times-Winner. The Times-Winner man seems to have taken itfor eranted that Judge Gaslin was drunk; just becauso his "papa" said so, in the Riverton En terprise and that was as far as he in vestigated tae truthfulness of the as sertion. The judge to all intents and purposes was as sober as any man, and when petitioned by the Red Cloud at torneys to adjourn court did so, but not until repeated efforts had been made by them. The fact was that the judge was decidedly opposed to the adjournment as prayed for, and would not have considered the motion only on the combined request of the attorneys in this city, who were com pelled to be in Lincoln on legal busi ness bsforc the Fiiitcd States and Supreme eourt, and finding that the business of the court had been par tially settled by agreement of the attorneys, and the balance not press ing, adjourned the same to Feb. ISth, not because he was "too drunk" to hold court as alleged by the Winner, but out of courtesy to the bar's re quest. .Mr. Ilurr should remember the Divine precept "that it is human to err and Divine to forgive," even had the Judge been intoxicated, which seems to have been a base slander on the part of the Burr outfit. The Chief has no desire to uphold the judge any further than to do him justice. As to his being drunk in Kcd Cloud that is publicly pronounc ed a falsehood, as to Bloomington wc do not know. If the judge imbibes too freely so as to be unable to attend to -he business of his court there is a remedy at law and wc presume Sir. Burr could apply it as well as any other citizen if disposed. Be sure you're right and then go ahead, Mr. B. t A nmbcr of the state papers, some of which arc published in the tarter cities, are working themselves up to a frenzy over a fear that prohibition nay carry in 18I0. They should de sist. Temperance is a good thing and should be encouraged by all classes as it tends to better mankind, howev er statutory prohibition seems to be ill timed, yet if the people of the state say that it shall be so, then let the people abide by the will of the major ity, but it seems to us that the war cry against prohibition has been spiling too soon by those papers for good effect. The Voice, the third party ori::iti an nounces that Senator Quay, chairman of the Republic in national committee, has signed a petition to the Pennsyl vania legislature lo s-ubmit u constitu tional Amendment similar to the prohi bition amendment adopted in Kansas. Tus same paper admit" that the IIj publican stac convention recommenc ed the submission of such an amend ment, and that the KepuHicnn legis lature will so submit it tn n vu'r nf the people. In one column tho Voire Jlr Calhoun Score the aVemerrafa. Your review this morning of my note printed the day before seems to be rather a personal criticism of my self than an attempt to carefully con sider what I said. The implication that 1 wish to lead democrats "away from true democracy and sound pol icy is unfounded, l havo never sought to lead at all, nor do I now. All I want to do is to prevent, if pos sible, the party once more impaling itself from the horns of fate, or desti ny, or whatever you choose to call it. As to slavery, as to various constitu tional amendments, as to the Slocuml law, as to either foreordained mile stones along the march of human progress, the democratic eDarty has always repeated the same bit of his tory. It first resisted, then sjbm it ted, then tolerated, then approved. The very Slocumb law which is now the height of human perfection was but a few years ago pronounced od ious tyranny by the democratic party in Nebraska. L; was solemnly and seriously dcnouot.-eil by several state conventions. I protested against that folly then us I protest against a simi lar folly now. I do not agree with the Herald that this is "an emergen cy." Nothing of the sort. It is a mere accident of human progress, and for nnce in a lifetime I want to see the democratic bull step off the track be fore the engine comes along. It is not a tight of partiseans. There is no obligation whatever upon the par ty to take either one side or the other It is a question of morale. aTi&g no such relations to politics that political organ?, leaders, or conventions have the right to bind or attenpt to bind AtvertlalAa; Par. Bsin36S men are now in the midst of the 'dullness of the "between sea. sons." But books are being balanced. accounts settled and inventories taken in order that the New Year may be begun with a proper understanding of the trade bearings. The merchant who has properly advertised his ware finds a balance on the right side of the account, while the dealer who has done business after the manner of his ancestors is lucky to make both ends meet. Some take advantage of their opportunities; others seem satisfied to merely exist. Who cannot pick out the men of each class in his neigh' borhood? The lesson of the hour is never to be learned by some men. They live, and pass away, and do not make ft ripple in the stream of life; but otherwise we observe the ebbing and flowing of the tide of fortune bring their barks safely to port, laden with the rewards of tact and skill. During the "busy seasons" and these seasons extend over tbe greatei part of the year the names of many nf the more prosperous merchants and tradesman who advertise all the year round are the men who will find work to do all the year round. Phila delphia Record. oa I stood on the bridge at midnight, as drunk as a sun-of-a-gun; two moons rose o'er the city, when there ougnt to have been but one. I could see their brigtit reflection, in the waters under me, and I experienced a feeling of wonder and of great curiosity. If only one had been there, I would not have been in doubt, but what two moons were doing. 1 could not well make out. The tide was hlowly eh biug, I could hear the waters roll, as I stood in tho wavering shadows, to hide from the night patrol. How often, oh! how often, in the days of auld lang syne, I have tried to cross at mid night, and got lost every tim. But tonight I was hot and rcstlees, and my mind was full of care, for the walk that lay before me, seemed greater than I could bear. I had no latch key with mo, and locked would be the door, and IM have to sit in the doorway, as I oft had done before. I'd have to sit in the doorway, in agony and in fear, till a voice said from the, window "Did the lodge hold late my do.ir?" So to night I stood their dreaming, and watching the restless tide, till a cop came with a waguii. and invited me to ride. ClaasVe TraveHac Mtm.
