TOM HEXDRIOKS may deny that he
was a member of the Vallandigham clufy
which was composed of disloyal persons ,
but be cannot deny he sympathized with
secession , and made speeches that were
disloyal. This is a matter of record.
Mr. James W. Uolnn hat been nominated by the
republicans ot tlio thirtieth senatorial district. Do-
Jon'a record in the last leclslnturo wns tliatof R pllnnt

We are sorry for you Ilosey , but wo are
afraid we cannot accommodate you in this
matter. Mr. Dolan was unanimously nomina
ted , and will bo elected by a handsome major *
Ity JlcCook Tribune.
If it is the unanimous wish of the people of
that district that Dolan should represent them
in the state senate they are no better than ho
la. If memory serves us correctly Dolan rep
resents the Stinking Water district , arid wo all
know what that is. Wo certainly have no
grudge against Dolan , but ho has cost the people
ple of Nebraska a good deal moro money than
he will over bo worth. While his abscnco
from the next legislature would bo a loss to
the railroads and the tax-caters it would be
a great gain to the producers and tax-payers.
Bee.
The statement that Senator Dolan
was unanimously re-nominated by the
representatives of the voters of this dis
trict threw the saintly Edwardus into a
spasm of self-righteousness , and in this
superinduced state he informs us that ,
"If it is the unanimous wish of the people
ple of this district that Dolan should
represent them in the state senate , they
are no better than he is. " Very true ,
Edwardus , but we opine that the "no
better" people of this district will take
your unsubstantiated assertions for mere
buncombe their real value , and that
you are just playing the part you have
assumed , and will return Senator Dolan
to the state senate by a handsome ma
jority. The people of this vicinage have
seen Rosey's horns aforctimes , and will
treat his cowardly assertions as they
deserve. Give facts.
Conx reached eighty cents in Chicago
on Monday , while wheat was only sev
enty-five cents. This is probably the
first time that corn was ever quoted at a
higher price than wheat , and it is cer
tainly a very strange condition of affairs.
So far as Nebraska and Iowa farmers
are concerned , they would probably pre
fer that corn would continue to be king
over wheat , for this year these two states
make up an immense corn field. But
the present price of corn in Cbicago is a
fictitious value the result of a "corner"
by the grain gamblers. It is said that
Armour who recently run a corner in
pork , and cleared between two and three
millions , is interested to a large extent
in this corn deal. Armour and his as
sociates are simply gambling on the nec-
cessarics of life and in unsettling values
and forcing up prices beyond all reason ,
they are simply committing wholesale
robberies. It is certainly a strange con
dition of affairs when a few men can
control the provision markets of this
country and plunder the people at will.

V. C. PLACE , general manager of the :
Pinas Atlas Gold and Silver Mining
company , at Las Vegas , New Mexico ,
and Chas. M. Shannon , of the Hughes
& Shannon copper works at Clifton have
made the largest bet on the result of
the presidential election thus far on
record. Mr. Place bet a new mill re
cently erected at a cost of $40.000 and
all the company's mines and property , in
cluding the mercantile establishment ,
all valued at $500,000 , against Hughes
& Shannon's copper property , valued at
$ GOO,000. The necessary papers have
been made out and placed in the hands
of an escrow pending on the result of
the election.
COLONEL DUDLEY , who has resigned
the couimissionership of pensions as he
proposes to go into the banking busi
ness , has proved an efficient , faithful
and energetic officer. During the last
two years the pension bureau has dis
bursed $122,000,000 , and it has been
carefully and honestly handled by Col
onel Dudley , who has been the friend
of the soldiers in every possible way-
He has prevented many a robbery on
the part of swindling pension attorneys ,
against whom he waged a bitter and
effective warfare. Pensioners will have
reason to congratulate themselves if as
good a man becomes his successor.
IT is a noticeable fact that most of
those unhorsed railroad kings manage
: o return from their European exile
with a comfortable nest-egg and in re
stored health. Villard comes back with
a half-million , exclusive of his frugal
wife's savings , and he is as fresh as a
daisy , while Mr. Garrison has "returned
? roiu his watering place after adhering
strictly to the advice of his physician. "
and we are assured that he is so com
fortably fixed that he is not compelled
to resume business at the old stand.
E LIE PERKINS has long been noto-
iously a "modest" liar , but this is
transcendently so : E Lie sends a pos
tal card from Dresden to the Buffalo
Express , marked "private , " on which
ic says : "To-day , in Dresden , I could
lave seen women carrying mortar in
aods up a ladder if I had looked , but
[ would not. "
MILWAUKEE lager sells in Iowa as
"mineral health restorer" effervesces
and sparkling , warranted to cure dys
pcpsia , biliousness , indigestion , prostra
tion Doses sized according
, et cetera. are
ing to prescription , and we suppose that
every man is his own physician.

HOUSTON AND BOOTH.
{ t -j T yinro for liberty" A
ortho Future.
[ Bon : Perloy Pooiu ]
Gen. Sam Houston , who hnd just re-
turmtl frcra bis first visit tp.Toias , was
'
\ralking up Pennsylvania'avenue one
svcning in the winter of 1834 , when he
met with his old friend Booth , the tra
gedian. , After mutual exclamations of
surprise-'and salutation , tlio twp ascer
tained that tlley were botli rooming at
JJrowno'ti Indian Queen hotel , and , go
ing there , they went , to Booth's room.
Sitting down , they recounted the adven i
tures of their past lives , and , as they in-
du--.triou.sly gircttlntcd the bottle , many a
loud sliotit echoed through that hall and
startled the watchmen in the streets as Si
1 they wont their silent rounds. As the
nfcht wore on their excitement increased ,
until , : it the close of a thrilling story re
lating to his strange career , Houston ex
claimed :
"Now , Booth , lot's have a speech to
liberty , one of tlioso apostrophes to old
'
Itoma'u freedom with which you startle-
audieiu'cs ! "
Had Booth been inclined to refuse , ho
know that his friend , when the mood
was on him , would noP bo denied any
request , however absurd or diflicult of
performance. But the tragedian him
self entered into the spirit of his com
panion , and , nothing loth , he rehearses
with magic power many of those clcc- ; *
trie passages in defense of liberty
which tlin English dnuna abounds.
Houston , whoso memory as well as.
habits partook of tlio Indian character ,
caught up the words , and with equal
force , clearnc.-'s and accuracy , went
through each speech in regular succcs- .
sion. Thus they pfoceeYled for1 a time ,
and then again sat down to renew their
potations and the story of their perspnal
adventure. Both drank and listened , '
the other told of his own elevation in his
native state , at his disgust at civiu
honors , of his home in tlie distant for
est , of the uncontrolled freedom of tho"
rcdmen , of their stole fortitude and
matchless heroism.
Warmed by the recollection of those
thrilling scenes , ho sprang at last to his
feet , and , in the tone of one amid the
battle's din , fighting against the most
fearful odds , exclaimed , "Xow , Booth ,
once more for liberty ! " The tragedian
dared not disobey. Ho ran through ,
with all his usual energy , the tale o
Mexican thraldom , of the Spanish co'n-
quest of that land , the dangers incurred
by that army , their commander's ex
hortation before the battle and the
stubborn bravery of the native chiefs.
Before him stood at that lone hour ,
listening with an intensity of thought ;
and feeling which shone through his
eyes , lighted his face , strained every
muscle and started the sweat in greafc
drops from his lofty brow , one who ha d
all the fiery spirit of a Cortes and am
bition of a Pizarro. Quick as thought
he took up the talc and repeated Ilio
words just uttered by Bootlt , with the
most critical precision of tone and man
ner. As ho became oxcitetl in the reci
tation , his spirit seemed to take lire , and
with an air so determined , so frightful ,
that it seemed the vowe of one inspired ,
he exclaimed at the close of masterly
extemporaneous rhapsody :
"Yes ! yes ! 1 am inade'to revel yet in
the halls of the Montezumas. "
"Coming events cast their shadows be
fore , " and although Houston did not revel -
vel in the halls of the Montextimas , his
determination and energy of character
conquered thu oecupanlTof those halls ,
and wrested from Mexico her fairest
state.
Caricsic > 8 XciTapapcr Enterprise.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie , the Bessemer-
steel Scotch millionaire , of Pittsburg ,
who has invested so much monev in
afternoon papers of "Radical or Gladstone
politics , in an interview about the al
leged quarrel with his generalissimo edi
tor , said :
1 suppose that the rumor originated m
the fact that I , as well as other frie/ads
of Mr. Storey , have taken , him totas'con
account of several erratic ; vote/ ; cast by
him in parliament recently. Thijj was
done in a friendly way , hnd did not at
all create any bad feeling. I huve no
friend in England of whom I think more
than I do of Mr. Storey. His success in
his enterprises in which I am interested
has shown him to be oneof the ablest
business men of the country. He is a
man with the nerve and energy of an
American.
Our coalition is chiefly owned by Mr.
Stony and myself. I am the only
American in it. Our property has in-
L-rea ed amazingly in value. We reach
i.00,000 of people : i day , and our circu
lation has grown 2H per cent , since we
tool : it. 1 would not soil out at an in-
2ivasc of : JO per cent , on what I paid foi :
tiie papers. Echo was bought for * 375 -
W , and I would not sell it to-day for
? .100,000. ijonio of our papers pay us
40 per cont. In some evening editions
u-o print stories like the French feuil-
letou. If of
some my American con-
. rns were paying as well as my English
icwspapcr investments I would be very
much gratified. We intend to increase
: he number of papers owned by us as
jpportunity offers , and will invest the
jroftts from year to year in new jour
nals , until we have one in everv impor-
; ant town in Great Britain.
Mr. Carnegie denied that it was his
vish to enter pailiamcnt. If he goes
nto English politics it is to enlighten
; ho political heathen and to spread be-
'ore th--m the gospel of republicanism.
