THURSDAY , MAY 25 , 1801) ) .
A postoflico has bean established
at Klurnp , Custor county , with , ) ano
P. Klump postmistress.
Col. Stots'inburg's remains reach
ed San Francisco , on thur way
homo for burial , Tuesday.
It is reported that the postmas
ters at Lee Park and PhillipHburg ,
Custer county have resigned , and
their places are to bo filled.
Supt. lloxie , of the state reform
school , who refused to resign his
position on request of the governor ,
and whom the governor appealed to
the courts to compel him to quit his
job , has been roappointcd. Hoxio
evidently had a pull that the gov
urnor did not know about when he
ousted him.
The indications are now very fa
vorable towards the volunteers being -
ing discharged from further service
in the Phillippincs. Gen. Shafter ,
who is in command at San Francisco ,
California , han been ordered to prepare -
pare a camp there for them , suit *
able to accommodate four thousand ,
preparatory to their being mustered
out.
Wo are in receipt of the Lo-
compto Drummer , of Leoompte ,
Louisiana , published by the irru
pressible .1. T. Moore , a newspaper
man formerly of tins ooiinty. Jim
has had wide experience in the
newspaper experience , and has
probably boon connected with more
newspapers in more localities than
any other newspaper man Custor
county has produced.
Kearney , like Broken Bow , vo'od
against ealoon liconue last spring.
Fooling that that vote did not rep.
resent the views of the business
men of the city , a petition was
circulated asking the city council
to ignore the vote. The report
docs not siy how many or what
per cent of the voters signed the
petition , but it says the. council re-
jeotod the petition , and also u pe
tition to call another election on
the question.
AN AMERICAN 1SSUH.
I cannot help looking upon the
follows hero at homo , who are rais
ing such a hoodoo , as copperheads.
I dent like the way they ti'lk. I
dent agree v ith the cry that wo as
Americans oiifeht not .to govern
without the consent of the govern
ed. Wo have no such national pol
icy , and never had. In our whole
history wo have acted the theory of
our right to possess thin continent.
The pigr ] > m fathers settled over
hero as a right. They considered
that they had just as much right
hero as the Indian. THO Indians kept
moving west and the white man
multiplied and subdued the Indians
like it or not.
"About 1854 our government
began treating with the Indians ,
nd finally all the great tribea from
the south wcr' moved west of the
Mississippi and and given a vast
territory out hero. No out was
allowed to enter it except with
written pormihsion. That was only
' . four but that territory
uix'.yfour yearn ago ,
ritory is all occupied by the while
man now. That has over been our
national policy.
I can understand how the southerners -
ernors can argue about 'the consent
of the governed , " but I dent see
low any man who served in the
u.ion army can do so. There wore
11.000,000 southerners , some of
them comprising some of the origi *
nal thirteen states , who rebelled
against staying witii us northerners ,
They simply said they wanted to
govern themselves , but wo said ,
You shan't do it-you'vo got to stay
with us. ' And we spent four years
in the greatest war in thq history in
in milking them stay. Wo governed
ilium without their consent.
" 1 don't think the question of expansion -
pansion ought to bo brought into
politics. It ought to bo an Ameri
can inBtio , and not a partisan issuo.
It scorns to be almost treasonably tote
to make politics out of it. I am very
intensely American. We have to go
ahead. If there is fighting to bo
done we must do it. The doctrine
of non-rosistnnce IH good in its pla
ce , but it is not always in place. "
( Ex Senator PeJTor. )
ALWAYS ON THE WllONU HIDE.
The democratic party got on the
wrong moral side of the union
question , of the emancipation ques
tion of the reconstruction question ,
of the financial question , and now ,
as nn organization , is getting on the
wrong side ol the expansion questi
on. The number of democrats who
will not follow the insanities of the
party still remains sufficiently
largo to save the country. And
they will do it again next yoar.
Brooklyn Eagle ( Dom )
HACK IN THE FOLD.
Ex Senator Peffor , long the load
er of the Kansas populists , has re
turned to the republican party be
cause he regards the money ques
tion settled. However this may bo ,
the populist party seems to have
boon sottied. Courier-Journal.
Ex-United States Senator Poffor
of Kansas , wno Hopped from the
republican parly to the democratic
party on the money issue , has flop
ped back again. Silver having
gone back on him , ho has gone back
on Hilvor. Ho regards any further
monkeying with the 10 to 1 theory
as sentimental rather then practical
politicB and Peffor is nothing if
not practical.-Philadelphia Record.
Clearly , if the democratic party
cannot retain the support of such
men as ox-Senator Peffor by adher
ing to free coinage at the ratio 10
to 1 , there is little to encourage it
to remain constant to that doctrine.
Inevitably other issues mnat replace
the 10 to 1 cry in the next camp
aign and upon those issues there is
likely to ho extensive rearrangement
of party allegiance. Springfield

Vm up , can't gel 'em up in the
morning ! " The night JH chilly and
damp , Hildas each fellow arises from
his "down ) " perch upon the lice

his different sections. The arms
wander about promisouounly , and
he shakes like a loaf in a cyclone.

the lye can see. Coffee boils , and

oling rations are issued , consisting
of a can of salmon or corned beef ,
niid bread , and in twenty minutec
we fall in. Our battalion joins the
regiment , and wo march forward
on the railroad track , the babe of all
our movements. We cross a river ,

seems miles to our position. We
arc now forming as ( skirmishers , at
regulation distance , two paces apart.
Wo men fool and look as if we
could go no farther. Movements
are performed lazily , officers arc
very quiet. In the distance about
a mile and a half of level plain ,
streaked with rice ridges , and
beyond a forest dark and ominous.
Quiet , too quie * , not oven the chirp
of a bird. We arrive on our posi
tion and are halted. The men lie
down , some seem to immediately
go to sleep , others are joking , and
some are running a flannel , torn
from their blue shirt , through the
barrel of their gun. It's all as
sumed. Each man is thinking ,
thinking as ho has never done be
fore. There's a heavy something
on the mind. It cannot bo cast
aside. In it fear ? No , it's simply
the quietness. Oh for something to
happen , something to relieve the
gloom. Ho thinks of mother , loved
ones , and how nice it would
bo to bo sitting in an arm
chair at homo , instead of on a rice
ridge , and the only friend a cold ,
cald gun. Orderlies are passing
along the line , commanders are
sending messages. Behind the line
it's very lively. In front it's an
awful quietness. As the sun kisses

closers. All commands are repeated
from one end of the line to the

an extra hitch in their haversacks.
Some fill up on chewing tobacco ,
and others light their pipes. Across
thin opening wo start , each man in
his place , and our national and state
colors unfolded to the breeze.
When wiM they open tire ? Wo
know not. What will they do ?
Who will bo the first hit ? Thank
heaven they relieve us. We are
half ovor. The bullets come in
showorn , kick up dirt beneath your
feet , ring and whistle as they pans
your head. Some poor fellow is
hit. Yon hoard it. It's easy
enough to tell that sickening thud.
Some ono asks. John Jones hit in
the thigh. Thank God it's not in
our company. The Colonel is
swearing , and ao is the Major. The
Captain acta nutty , and the iilo
closers yell , Watch your distance !
Smith guide right ! Hell ia popping.
Thoughts have flown to the winds ,
bullets , you Hccrn them. The main
thing is to reach those heathen , or
something else , as they are now
called under excitement. Men are
falling. Comrades are patching
thorn up , and making the moments
comfortable , paying no attention to
the fire , but trying to stop the life
blood of their mess males. Others
are yelling for stretchers. Ono

Hard hit , old man ? No , only a
light tap , and smiled. He was shot
through the chest. At last our
order comes : Halt , load , ready , aim ,
fire , and Nebraska pours volley
after volley , advancing , and the
Fillipinos retreating. They have
loft entrenchments live to seven feet
thick , strong enough to resist artillery
lory , but not strong enough to repel

with Nebraska grit. Men are mad.

MuloloH , P. I. , April 10 , 18DD. _
Editor RKI'UIJMOAN :
J he past two weeks have been
very quiet ones for our boys , both
the Americans and insurgents seem
ingly resting from the fatigueing
week before. From Manila to Ma-
lolos can bo considered a huge bat
tle field. Wo commenced firing
five hundred yards from our en
campment in Manila , and never
stopped until the Americans loft
their foot prints upon the roads of
Malolos. Stone churches , mag
nificent intronchmontH , bridges , eto ,
and all other kinds of devilish
amusements wore freely furnished
by the heathens. The Americans
advanced and th 4 tfilippinos re
treated ; from the commencement
the insurgents have had the ad
vantage ot ground and rivers , Am
erican pluck overcame all those.
No towns were burned along the
route , and no non-combatant mo
lested. Malolos was entirely de
serted , capital buildings burned ,
and two modern six inch guns
Tound buried beneath the roadway.
The peace commissioner's now
proclamation has been issued , and
many natives are returning to their
homes. The war is not ever and
will last a great , while ; some will
never surrender , but become ban
dits.
Nebraska is thought well of by
all other regiments , and is known
as the "FightingNebraska. " Lieut.
Talbot is in command of company
D. temporarily. Many of the com
panies had no ofh'cors , so many
were wounded ; company M. is the
strongest company ; few injured
compared to other companies , and
those slightly. Nat E. Simms , of
Custor county , died as a soldier ,
glad that ho had done his duty.
His last moments wore passed serenely -
ronoly , thinking of his mother and
her future. Ho had provided for
her by being a member of an in
surance order ; ho died happy and
contented. P. Busio , of Ansloy ,
is doing nicely , and gets the usual
grin when he sees any company M.
boys. Some boy received word
that the people of Broken Bow
wore faithfully praying for our
welfare ; I assure you that their
prayers are answered ; our company
is amazingly lucky.
Chaplain Mailloy of the Nebraska
regime-it is a perfect army chap
lain. The chaplain has souse
enough to know that ho cannot
convert the regiment and tine a
man for not attending his meetings.
He IH a good man and follows the
tiring line as faithful as a dog , and
no man is wounded that the chap
lain is not at his side attending to
his wants , securing his name and
seeing that reports sent homo are
absolutely correct. He is a tighter
also , and enjoys borrowing a fol-
IOW'H gun and cheering the other
men. Ho's invaluable ; not by any
moans a poody goody man , but a
straight , honest , whole soulod man ,
who thinks words amount to little
and deeda amount to a great deal.
It takes that kind of a praulioal
man for the army. Ho doesn't
blush if a man swears next to him ,
but says that in lighting ho almost
does the same thing. We admire
our colonel , our chaplain , our hos
pital corps , and all our regiment.
The "whole cheese" is groat.
Out battalion is now under com
mand of Captain Killinn , of Co In in
bus. He is a favorite with the
battalion , and onpeoiilly company
M. Ho is comical and big hearted.
Lieut. Oflborn has not as yet re
ceived his commission , but wo have
rccoivod notification of Lieut. Orr's
resignation. It's a little tough for
Willie to wait so long.
The insurgent prisoners that
Nebraska has taken would not leave
us , BO are used with the transportation -
tation wagons. They think No.
