VICE-PRESIDENT , JOHN A. LOGAN , OP ILLINOIS. Republican State Convention. The republican electors of the state of Nc brnska arc invited to send delegates from the several counties to meet in convention a Omaha , Wednesday , August 87th , 1884 , at 1 o'clock , A.

THE Democratic clnnsmeetat Chica go , Tuesday , the 8th inst. , to- put ii nomination a President and Vice-Pres ident. THE Orleans Sentinel conies to us , this week , changed from an eight-col umn folio to a five-column quarto , also with a new head and other improve inents. THE house has passed the bill re pealing the pre-emption , timber culture and desert laud laws. Under the bil the government can sell no public lane except mineral claims and town sites. WOULDN'T it be a pregnant idea to declare the coming Republican State Convention off , and delegate the power to Editor Davis of the Wahoo Indepen dent , to name the candidates. Judging from his exhibition of genius in that line , he would fill the bill. THE city council of Omaha have giv en Mayor Chase the grand bounce. They found him guilty of drunkenness , bribery , incornpetency , etc. Chase's administration seems to have been con ducted in the interest of the gamblers , . prostitutes , and bunko-steerers. THE late legislature of Louisiana has imposed a license fee of five dollars a year on all newspaper men. It's easy enough to impose the five dollars. To collect it will be a job for the dog days that will exercise the muscle of the democratic tax-eaters for whose suste nance the editors are commanded to pay. GEO. W. BURTON , of "Orleans , is mentioned as a possible candidate for the gubernatorial nomination before the republican state con vention. Arapahoe Mirror. Mr. Burton has been "mentioned" as a possible candidate for almost every desirable office in the gift of the people of this commonwealth since the Na tional Republican Convention. G. W.'s friends would make a veritable Phjeton of him. JUDGE FORAKER , of Ohio , says the campaign is.already won for the repub licans. The labor of procuring the votes to secure the election has already been done by James G. Elaine himself. He has done it by the twenty-five years of arduous public service , by an illustrious public career that has 'made him the idol of the American people. IT is one of the laws of the Cherokee nation that no man shall fence in more than fifty acres of the public domain for for his own use. A large number of white stock raisers had violated-this law , just the same as they violate laws .of the same kind in various parts of Uncle Sam's territory. What did the Indians do ? Did they bring a suit that would drag along for ten or twenty years in courts ? Not at all. They promptly tore down the fences and confiscated the wire. The United States government might take a few good lessons from the barbarian. * * LAHT Wednesday awcck the IIOUM passed the bill authorizing the crcctioi of a soldiers' home.in and of the wcsten states. It is almost certain that the bil will pass the senate , and of course , b ( signed by the president , after which the question of location will be decided en Capt. Palmer , who has worked as mucl as any other one man for the passage of the bill , informs us that the chances for securing the location for Nebraska are more than even. Republican. THE plan of the eastern democratic and independent organs is devclopct in the New York Herald which , in at article on "The Rowdy West , " virtual ! } gives up all hopes of carrying any west ern state , including Indiana , and coun sels a combination of New York , Con necticut and New Jersey with the solit south to lay out the "rowdy west , ' which is for Elaine and Logan , and t ( elect a ticket that will ignore-the inter ests and feelings of the great empire west of the Alleghanies and north oi the Ohio. This cold blooded scctiona policy will be urged upon the Chicago convention yet to come , and is peculiarly grateful to the dudes and cockneys who redcnt , in the east , the growing power of the west in the councils of the nation. They had better try it on. Theii is sufficient artistic talent in the wesl to make exceedingly lively music for s combination of that kind. Journal. NAST'S cartoon for the week repre sents Mr. Elaine putting on a clear shirt upside down. We have never seei Mr. Elaine donning his own linen buj presume the fun is forced. A mai with his experience in peeling off the .outer integument of democrats anc independent frauds may care little al which end of the victim he commences to skin , but he is supposed to have observed with considerable accuracy which side up the under-garincnts go But the sudden upheaval of Tominj Nast when his employers stood him on his head and set him to .caricaturing Mr. Elaine twenty-four hours after he had innocently telegraphed his con gratulations to the plumed knight on his nomination makes him see every thing upside down. No one could get a shirt on to one of the Weekly outfit in a proper manner at present without first turning a somersault. Journal. THE Buffalo Commercial Advertiser duals in historical affairs and makes an excellent point against the high kickers when it says that the action of the inde pendent club of that city "in refusing to endorse Elaine recalls the fact that the "young scratchers' : by whom the independent club was organized , refused to support A. B. Cornell in 1S79 be cause of "his unfitness for the office , " in 1882 they again bolted the republican nomination , this time , however , because re-nominated "he having Cornell was not - , ing given the state a most excellent administration. " In 1880 the feelings of these same Independents were out raged because Chester A. Arthur was given second place on the ticket by the republican national convention. To day nine out of ten of them will freely admit that Arthur has made one of the best presidents the country has ever bad. In view of these facts it occurs to us that the independents ought to begin to realize that all the political wisdom of the country is not concen trated under a few hats with the label "independent" upon them. THE State of Nebraska is to be cou- giatulated upon having such an honest , 'earless and able representative in that stronghold of the monopolists , the Uni ted States Senate. Senator Van Wyck is not afraid to call things by their right names and he-is able to do it in a par- iamentary way which can nonplus even such a skilled parliamentary tactician is Senator Edmunds , who last week undertook to shield the arbitrary action of the Senate Judiciary Committee in irrogating to itself the authority of Congress to regulate the relations ex- sting between the Union Pacific rail road company and the government , laving exposed this high-handed piece Df business/ Senator Van Wyck showed that he had every desire to give the Judiciary Committe a chance to right tself and withdrew the matter , for the time being , from further discussion. Chore has been too much star chamber committee work done at Washington 'or the public good , and the services of such representatives as Senator Van Wyck in exposing them are simply of ) riceless value to the community. If ) ur legislators were all like him there tvould be fewer hundred uiilliouairies ind fewer tramps throughout this coun- ry. Justice. * * ' e Storm at Oxford. ' OXFORD , NEB. , July1 , A tcr.riti < wind and hail storm1 Struck this vicinity last evening,4 'doing 'cqnsfdcrabjcf dam age to buildings-cropsj-stock , poultry etc. , and besidp5tcausing , a .terrible col lision of a flat car and the work train , killing one and injuring-two .more ser iously , while , sevaral others have sligh ! wounds. The weather had been vcrj warm and sultry all afternoon , and bj 7:30 : P. M. a dark cloud was seen in the northwest which kept moving toward us slowly. Five minutes later the wind began to blow and rain began to fall. It was evident that a regular hurricane was coming. Business men in town hurried home to superintend the fami lies , while others found apparently safe quarters in the cellars. The wind in creased ; the rain poured down in tor rents and the hail fell thick and fast Out houses , boxes , loose timbers , chick ens , tubs , buckets , etc. , went flying through the air at such a rate that the stoutest hearted felt a little shaky aboul the knees. The hail broke some window glasses and injured crops to some ex tent. They were not so large as usual only about the size of quail's eggs. The storm lasted about fifteen minutes , when it began to abate , and on looking out 1 saw the track men coming into town on foot , from the cast , running in all direc tions. On looking down the track ] could see the engine , about 100 rods cast of town , at a standstill. I knew at once something was wrong , ami made it a business to halt the first man and as certain the cause of the rushing to and fro , and soon learned from the excited man that the work train had collided with a flat car which the wind had blown off the side track on to the main track , and was traveling cast by the force of the wina while the train was coming in from the work on the cut-off. I immediately went on the run to the wreck , and found one man unconscious and two others badly bruised about the head. Engine 68 , run by Sam Jennings , had four flat cars ahead of the engine and several in the rear. The laborers who board in town were sitting on the flats , and on the front car were about six persons , and when their car struck the one on the track , the one on the track raised and slid right up on top of the car the men were on ; caught one fellow and just rolled him between the cars. He died last night at 12 o'clock. All were knocked off and somewhat in- jured. Ed. Dolan was conductor , who immediately went back to flag the mail train from the east. Dr. McClaine , railroad surgeon , was on hand at once , and did all possible for the sufferers ; also Dr. McClelland. The names of the wounded I am un able to give at present. List of dam ages will be sent you to-morrow. State Journal. THERE is something unutterably pa thetic in the fate of Two Standing , a noted brave of the Omaha tribe , who died in one of our city hospitals last week and was buried in Potter's Field. His name was a decoration won by per sonal valor , he and another warrior be ing the only two left standing at the close of a desperate battle in which a party of Sioux were defeated. He came to New York with a show troupe , and being taken sick was abandoned to his fate. Alone and among strangers he passed away to the happy hunting grounds of his fathers , and the red war rior found no white man to give him a tmrial worthy of his deeds and name. He was only an Indian a vagabond in the land where his fathers had been kings. New York Mercury. In the days of Fennimore Cooper this incident would have furnished the foun dation for a novel. But the cruel fate and untimely taking-off of one of Buf falo Bill's Indians does not even draw a ; ear in this matter-of-fact age , and even our west , where the Indian is known the best , an impression prevails that the heroic braves of Buffalo Bill's tribe ? are better , dress more comfortably , and get more fire-water , than the kings of the Cannibal islands. Two Standing s more comfortable lying in the Pot- ; er' s Field- than hanging in the top of a tree or resting on a high hill to be eaten > y wolves and vultures. Bee. THE Troy Times says that Elaine is growing stronger in New York every lay and that he has 10,000 more votes now than when the nomination was announced. That is as it should be. Fhere is no reason why a republican tfew Yorker should refuse to support 31aine , but there are many reasons why the liberal minded democrats and labor- men should give him their heartiest upport.

" A LODGE of Sorrow has been in full blast in the St. Louis Republican office ever since Samuel Jones Tilden threw up the presidential sponge. YES , on the whole , Massachusetts must bu classed as a doubtful state , The doubt is whether she will give Elaine and Logan 10,000 or 25,000 majority IF any one has heard anything from the superb Conkling as to his feelings in regard to the nomination of Mr. Blainc we will be grcateful for such information. We have a painful suspic ion that Mr. Conkling has gone fishing. IT is understood that E. B. Hayes is flooding the Ohio poultry market with alleged spring chickens which have spurs on their legs four inches long. In one way and another we arc constantly being punished for the great electoral crime of 1876. AND now we arc told that James G. Elaine is not a Catholic , nor a Presby terian , nor a Methodist , nor a Congrc- gationalist , nor a Baptist , nor a Unitar ian , nor a Univcrsalist , but a .lineal descendant of the lost tribe of Israel , and that the Jews will vote for him in a solid body. BISMARCK has made a bid for the support of the trades unions in Germa ny in a very characteristic way. lie has put through a law forbidding the employment of apprentices by masters who elo not belong to the unions. His dexterity in buttressing the tyranny of the empire with that of the trades un ions may be admired but after all it is a temporary expedient worthy of the French king who said : "After me the deluge. " The deluge came in France and so will it couio in Germany when people conclude they have had enough of governmental interference in their liberty of labor. JOHN L. SULLIVAN has at last been knocked out. Whisky did it. His ine briated condition at Madison Square , and his failure to have u set to with Mitchell , completely disgusted the 6,000 persons who paid their money to sec the match. Boston is in deep mourning over the disgrace that has overtaken her most eminent citizen. OUR special dispatches from Chicago bring the news that "a slim young man beardless and wearing well-fitting cloth es and eye-glasses , opened Mr. lloswel P. Flower's boom at the Grand Pacific. ' Mr. Flower has evidently engaged a Ne York dude a dandelion , or a sun flower perhaps as a boom-opener. Bee. PATENTS F. A. Lulimann. Solicitor of Aihcrlcan anil Foreign Patents , Washington , D. C.
