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.

NEBRASKA'S ENEMIES.
THE , WHISKEY AHAECHISTS
WILLING TO STAB
THE STATE.
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.
