I The Nebraska republicans havi
an early state convention. Th <
democratic press has been bother
ing itself vastly about the date o :
the republican convention. By tin
way , why don't the Nebraska de
mocracy concern itself a little more
about its own state convention.
Senator Plumb : "The circula
tion to-day is § 240,000,000 less
than the framers of the finaucia '
legislation of 1875 anticipated , al

the country has doubled since thai
time. " Is it strange that there is

Reports have been received al
the pension office showing the
bonded indebtedness of the states.
| They show that Nebraska's bond
ed debt in 1890 is § 5,033,074

debt , 1890 , 5,302,081 , against 5- ,

The statistician of the Interstate
Commerce commission is authority
fcr the statement that last year the
railroads of the United States kill-

appalling figures is divided about
evenly between the railroads , which
fail in providing the proper safe
guards for the protection of theii
patrons , and the traveling public ,
who have not yet learned that hu
man life is worth more than the
time which they try to save at the
risk of bodily peril.
The bill now pending before
congress to provide for the inspec
tion of live cattle and meat prod
ucts intended for exportation , was
framed with a view of removing the
prejudice in foreign countries
against American meat. Tlie Un
ited States has suffered consider
ably by reason of this prejudice ,
which in some cases has resulted in
prohibition , and if the provisions
of the senate bill are calculated to
raise the standard of our pork , beef
and bacon , the measure should cer-
tainly pass.

Congressman Butterworth'
position : Yot what is that doctrine
In his own words , "The preserve
tion of tho equality of opportunitr
in this country. " It is to give ov
ery laborer an equal chance to ge
his fair share of the product of hi
labor. To give a chance to som
industries which is denied to oth
ers , is , inMr. . Bit tier worth's opin
ion , notonly unjust but outrageous
If this does not deserve the nam
by which Henry Clay used to des
cribe his views Lho American sys
tern iiothindeserves it. It i
American , because America mean
fair plav. The stingof Mr. Buttei
worth's speech is his plain exposure
which is irryi'ubiblo , that the tarii
is not fair. Jt does not protect e\
ery industry equally. It doesne
impose , in th • words of Mr. Dawes
something-c be than exactly a :

tion. " ' Dop.sMr. J3 utter worth ceas
to be a Republican because as ;
protectionist he declares the orig
inal and fundamental Bepublica :
doctrine of equal rights" ?
Politics aro "looking up" i :
tho 67th representative district ,
Hitchcock , Hayes , Dundy am
Chase counties. A number o
prominent gentlemen from th
several counties covet the plum
and the canvass "is on" quite vig
orously. There seems to be a dis
position to give the representative
to Hayes county , this year , whicl
gives additional interest to the can
vass in that county. Among thos
in tho field from that part of th
district perhaps none are bette
qualified than II. B. Likes , Esq ,
the Hayes Centre barrister am
banker. We understand , too , tha
Mr. Likes has a strong suppoi
and that he will lead an enthusias
tic following into the convention
In the event of his election th
district would have the ables
member in the lower house sine

Says Bishop Spalding of th
Boman Catholic church : The evi
wrought by alcoholic drink is not
acknowledged and proclaimed b ;
all the organs of public opinion
It undermines health , enfeebles th
will , coarsens the mind and inflame
animal passion. It separates hus
bands and wives , divides familiei
and deprives children of the horn
influence Avhich nothing else cai
supply. It lowers the standard o
morals , fills prisons and insan
asylums with its victims , and feed
the germs of corruption in tin
body politic. It is , in a word , tin
cause or the occasion of four-fifth
of the crime by which our nation
al life is disgraced. Is there \
remedy for an evil , the enornrifr
of which all recognize ?
TO THE VETERAN.

OF 1861 TO lSftj.
On December 19,1S89 , there was organize !
at Lincoln a state veteran association o
which I was elected president , and Comratl
Work , secretary.
Comrades , the time has come for you t <
organize in defense of your own rights a
as you did for the defense of your country' ;
in 1SG1. The young dude of to-day , who wa
born with a silver spoon in his mouth say
you are asking too much and that you wil
min the country. He forgets that wliei
real danger threatened our land , he and hi :
father skulked to the rear while you went t <
the front. Comrades , the moneyed meno
this country have told congress just how fa
they will permit it to go in pension matters
Wall street is against you. The man whosi
bonds you saved from the waste basket v.
against you. They tell us "that the peopli
won't stand it. " Comrades , the long roll ii
sounding , calling you into line. Fall in I fal
in ! And defend the rights of yourself am
family. It is claimed that we are divide *
among ourselves ami that we do not kuov
what we want.
Now that there may be no uncertainty as
to how we of Nebraska stand :
1 do hereby call a mass meeting of tin
veterans of ' 61 65 to meet in Lincoln oi
Wednesday , at 2 o'clock , P. M. , June 25th
1S90 , to consider such matters as may be o
interest to us. That every county may bi
represented , it is requested that the veteran
of each county meet at their several count ;
seats at 2 o'clock , P. M. , June 19th , and or
ganize a veteran association , electing a presi
dent and secretary and appointing at leas
two delegates to attend the meeting ot th
state association at Lincoln , on the 25th inst
Do not fail to organize your county asso
ciations. If but two attend the count ;
meetings on the 19th , organize so that ther
may be some one to correspond with. Toi
can depend on the support of the boys win
do not attend.
The organization is not intended to tak
the place of the Grand Army ot the Republic
It is intended to include all honorably dis
charged soldiers and to advance our own in
terests and defend our own rights.

Amendment j.eotile are beginning to lin
up their forces and adopt more and uior. .
the systematic and thorough method
known to .successful political campaign
ers of the cleaner soit. A poll of tin
voters of the state has been begun. I
is an undertaking 61'great magnitude
but it is an abpolute necessity to insuri
success. One hundred and fifteen thou
sand voters must deposit their ballot
for constitutional prohibition in Nebras
ka next November to insure success be
yond peradventure. Every friendof thi
Amendment should arm himself with ;
pledge-book and go forth in search o
signers. That is the urgent need of tin
ot the present hour.
The liquor men have commenced theii
canvass on the still-hunt plan. One o
their shrewd agents entered Fillmon
county last week , and begun to put ou
poison for the friends of the Amendment
It is quietly whispered that a despcrat. .
effort will be made by the rummies t <

rotten institution gave him the cole

this great work of rescuing Nebraska
from the ' "cranks" purely on his : , owr
responsibility. "
Protests are in circulation against the
false statements of the so-called "Bank
ers and Business Men's Association'
and reputable bankers and business men
are declaring against Ed. Boggen's so
ciety , which seeks to do the foul worl
of the saloon-keepers by associating the
prestige of legitimate business with the
interests of the brewers and distillers
of this country.
The time has come toenterthe coun
try school districts and all workers should
see that no precinct is neglected. The
campaign managers urge that countj
committeemen , local club officers and
all friends of the Amendment now push
the country work with renewed vigor.

that a majority of the members of the
last Legislature are out for the Prohibi
tory Amendment. Many of the sena
tors and representatives have already
made speeches and reference has appear

correspondent.
Representative Struble , of Iowa , writes
from Washington very encouragingly in
regard to the prospect for the early pas
sage of the inter state Prohibition bill ,
which has already gone through the sen
ate. This bill when passed will plug
the original package hole tighter than
an Omaha policeman.
