In fact there is more land sold , this fall , than for some time and still there are more to follow. UNO. GENERAL GRIST. The effects of the last rain are strongly felt : The grass has started anew , some garden truck which bad suffered from th'e hot winds is re viving , and with sufficient moisture may yield a crop yet , although it may be small , still it will help considerably. 1 he school sessions have begun , and it is to be hoped that all who have young minds under their care will see that every child who can go to school will attend promptly and if possible without any interruption. Interruption in the course of studies may prove detrimental to the progress of pupils , it is calculated to throw them back and discourage them as to future efforts to regain their place in the class they left. Education is the child'sbcstlegacy. the security of his success and prosperity through lifo , and should by no means be treat ed with neglect and indifference. Parents are responsible to God for the future of their children. This thing of leaving the country as unfltfor settlement because one unfortunate year has struck it , is the result of a rather rush judg ment and in many cases , the other places re sorted to as a shelter from misery were found as bad if not worse thaa here , and the means spent in the removal would have helped won derfully this coming winter. The adverse winds of misfortune and disappointment are felt wherever we go , they are the inseparable attendants of our fallen and sinful condition. These bard times and failure of crops are the scourge of Divine Justice for our pride , ingrati tude and neglect of God's service , but with justice there is mercy , and all who seek refuge in the arms of providence und trust in God will come out all right. REPORTEK. BANKSW.LE BUDGET. The most of the farmers have reduced their surplus of hogs and one farmer sold so close that he will have to buy again to feed for fam ily use. It seems to me that the republican news papers are showing the white feather or weak ening on republican principles and thereby injuring the republican cause by the course taken in sounding an alarm concerning gov ernment legislation when that legislative body is only carrying out the principles in tueir legislation thatthose county papers advocated in the last campaign to get those republican legislators in position. If the republican county papers would take up the instructive side of the questions now atissue and backup the republican views as earnestly as they did the campaigning part it would be some encour agement to the legislative body to carry out what the party promised in the campaign. If protection was good for campaign it is good for legislative work and if the election bill was good campaign thunder why not encour age the men that were elected on such powder to fulfill the promises of the party. Itis a sorry ry sight to see so many discouraging remarks by many that claim to be republicans when almost every republican convention that has met has endorsed the protective clause , and the right of citizenship irrespective of color. If we wish to remain a republican party the leaders must perform as they have promised. OBSERVER. Some Hew Points of Human Anatomy. "He was shot in the suburbs. " Chicago News.

Editor Calhoun Criticizing the Fools of his Party. Special to THE McCoox TBIDUNE. LINCOLN , NEB. , Sept. 2 Under ther unscrupulous leadership of saloon * anar chists , the whiskey campaign is Being : conducted to the injury of the state of , Nebraska abroad. A few of these ? treacherous flunkies for the saloon are * loudly proclaiming that prohibition if carried will ruin the financial prosperity of the state. Even the real estate exchange of Omaha is reported by the leading saloon sheet of that city as get ting ready co "take some plain and em phatic action to aid in the defeatof pro hibition. " This course will injure Omaha more than anythingelso that can be done. Conservative capital will not invesbin crime. Prostitutes , gamblers , footpads , thugs , tramps , drunken loafers , saloon keepers and vermin of that char acter will flock to a city that insults the business world , but men who build , blocks and supply the wants of the pro ducing and consuming masses will be discouraged from making investments. Men who build factories and worklarce numbers of workingmen are growing moreintense in their hatred of the'saloon , that degrades and debauches such a large number of laboring men. The false and infamous cry that capital will be withdrawn from the state has been shown to be the slogan of the brewers and distillers. This scheme is only a fraction of the conspiracy against the workingmen and farmers of Nebraska. By yelling "Stop thief ! " these villainous plunderers hope to divert public attention from the fact that the saloons of Neb raska are robbing the people of $24,00l- ) 000 every year. In fourteen months the expenditure for liquor by the people of Nebraska amounts to as much as the total assesssed valuation of all our rail roads. JOURNALISTIC GRAPE SHOT. The Syracuse Journal calls a halt on the unwise editors who are jumpingonto the Prohibition party for putting a ticket in the field. The Journal although a strong Republican paper insists that the foolish threat to knife the Prohibitory Amendment because the Prohibs exer- cise their political rights and privileges is too contemptible to be patiently en dured. All the old residents of the newspaper profession recognize J. D. Calhoun as the embodiment of the best manhood and brain in the Democratic party of this state. His reputation as a political writer is National. He has been attack ed by the saloon element of his party because he positively refuses to become the political slave of the saloon. He is personally in favor of the Prohibitory Amendment for business reasons. He has not been slow to sayso. Since the Democratic party renewed its declaration for the saloon on the personal liberty' line , Mr. Calhoun has , in a dignified yet incisive style , criticised his party's posi tion. The saloon element has accord ingly undertaken to wipe him and bis able paper ( Tbe , Lincoln Herald ) from the face of the earth. Not desiring to go unresisting to the dungeon of a scourged slave , Mr. Calhoun has filed a masterly brief against the real enemies of his party and the foes of the state's welfare. The following extract from Saturday's Herald will give an idea of what the whiskey-worshippers must meet by way of argument : IT IS UTTERLY IJIPOSSIBLE in this age of human progress to build and maintain a great party founded up on the saloon. To assert it can be done is to deny all the evidence of history. And if it could be done , if it were pos sible , the men who should accomplish it are criminals too deep for any con ceivable damnation. A people that would consent to it would be unfit to exist , and would cease to exist as rapid ly as Nature could wield her deadly engines of destruction. Their down ward course would be as rapid and as sure as that of other people who have forfeited their right to be. The forces that sustain a people are virtue , intelligence , sobriety , energy , judgment , perseverance , honor , honesty , manliness , endurance , fidelity , truthful ness and industry. Alcohol is the foe and destroyer of all these. There is not a good quality it does not subvert. There is not a weakness or a vice tbat > . it does not develope and foster. But the race will grow upward. It will put alcohol and all other great curses under its feet , and any party that links itself to any obstacle to progress will be crushed to powder. This is a feeble , tame and imperfect presentation of the case but it is enough to justify every democrat in disavowing any responsibility for the disgraceful blunder perpetrated by his party at its late state convention. And should a wicked and reckless subserviency to the rum power become the permanent policy of the party it will justify every self- respecting citizen in shaking its dust from his feet.
