The Daily State Democrat pub
lished at Lincoln, Neb., by Vifquain
& Meade, is before us. The mana
gers show talent in its columns, and
in a belter cause we could more
cheerfully wish them every success
financially.
Even the Era characterizes it as
'the action of the Democratic Cen
tral Committee iu prescribing a
certain unheard of mode of proced
ure to be observed iu the coming
county convention. " Unheard of
mode" is good.
"No man is too poor to take his
home paper" Era. Columbus men
are assumed to be rich, for are there
not live papers hero, or does the Era
mean to say that no man is too poor
to take at least one, two, three or
four of his home papers?
School will commence iu dis
trict No. 13, on MoudciV, Sept. 1st,
with the following efficient corps of
teachers: Mr. II. L. McGinitie,
Principal, Mrs. C. Fifield, Interme
diate Department, Miss Annie Gil
bert, Primary Department.
We thought sure last Saturday
that we had captured the lust Wal
ter Tostevin, who recently disap
peared from Council Bluffs, but the
young man assured us his name was
Smith, and we had to give it up.
He admitted however that he lived
iu Council Bin tin.
A number of teams and work
hands came down from Jackson and
crossed the river at this place on last
Wednesday, and passed up west to
the line of the U. P. extension from
Jackson, to continue grading the
road north of the Loup in the direc
tion of Madison.
W. II Dale ot this city, has in
veuted a nut-lock for use on railroad
track, that exceeds anything yet
invented for durability and cheap
ness. It would be bad faith to dis
close the principle until our friend
secures the patent, which he intends
doing immediately.
The first uiiinber of -'The Cos
mopolite'' a monthly, published at
Sioux City, Iowa, by D. II. Talbot
ha been received. Competing with
nine thousand papers in the United
States leaves no idle time for the
manager of" The Cosmopolite." We
wish the manager great success.
C. S. Webster brought from his
farm south of the Loup river last
Saturday, some of. tho best melons
we ever saw. Many thanks for the
two left at this office, one of them
weighing twenty-fix pounds. We
agree with Mr. Webster, after sam
pling one of them, that they are
equal if not superior, to any raised
in New Jersey.
The iron work on the front of
Mr. G luck's new building on 11th
street, was furnished from the Foun
dry of this place. We are informed
that besides being as good work as
is done elsewhere, these castings
cost no more. Those who are in
need of such work, will find that
they cau save freight by buying here,
as well as have the satisfaction of
knowing that they are patronizing a
home institution.
"The republican party, pledged
to disunion from the very first day
of its birth, supported Lincoln."
Columbus Democrat.
In the light of "twenty years' ex
perience," comment is unnecessary.
Peter Gallagher, engineer on a
freight train of the U. P., met with
a painful accident Monday evening
near Jackson. In getting down
from the engine his right foot was
somehow caught under the wheel
cutting off four toes the great toe
being left. He was brought to this
city aud had his wounds dressed by
Dr. Mitchell.
We thought we could succeed in
having the Democrat mention the
name of the new railroad, if nothing
more. Even that much is a great
concession on its part, and we are
gratified to find ever so slight testi
monials of the power of the Journal
to bring a cotemporary to a sense of
its calling as an impartial gatherer
and disseminator of news.
The pic-nic at Stevens's lake
Friday last was well attended aud
everybody present engaged iu boat
ing on the lake, archery, rambling
among the shady bowers, holding
social chit-chat with each other,
playing and singing, and feasting,
on the sweet knick-knacks provided
all tended to render the occasion
one of pleasure and enjoyment.
The railroad progresses finely.
The graders are at work this side of
Ulysses. Before the middle of next
week they will be working on all
sides of us. Mr. Fitzgerald swears
in a very positive manner that he
will have the road finished to David
City by the fifteenth of October.
We will be fifty-six miles from the
capital, via L. t N. W. and forty-six
via O. & R. V.Hutler Co. Press.
The Journal docs not "xpect the
Democrat to "howl" forany railroad
unless the aforesaid Democrat is a
dog. in which case even, it might
distribute its "bowlings" a little
more equally, if it desires to be con
sidered a fair-minded sort of a
canine. We use the Democrat's own
figure of speech, not in the least
questioning the propriety thereof.
At one time in its brief history, the
Democrat undertook to refute a
report that had gained credence that
it was to be a U. P. organ. It has
not to ibis day succeeded in making
the public believe to the contrary,
and it never will until it shows at
least a desire to be fair in the gath
ering and disseminating of railroad
news. A tree is judged by its fruits.
A friend writes us, under date
of Aug. 19, that work is being done
on 35 miles of the road, and part of
it is finished. There i9 plenty of
work for all the teams that come
wages $? a day for man and team ;
single man $1.50; board $3 a week;
corn is worth 25 cts. per bushel.
Our friend writes that a man has no
business there without he has a
ijood team; some come with very
thin horses that can't stand the
work, and have to quit; and they
go off cursing the bosses and the
railroad. But good teams keep fat.
The best, of course, are mules.
There are about 500 teams working
on the road at this time, and still
they come. The road will be fin
ished by the time the ground freezes, i
George Spnoner returned Sun
day from David City, where he has
been at work. We get from him
several items of interest in regard to
railroad and other matters. Grad
ing is done to Ulysses except one
cut near Milford ; and work has been
begun north of David City. It is
supposed that a force will he put on
near this city next week. George
says that under Fitzgerald's super
vision you can just see the grade
crawling right along. Hale & 0
born have a way of burning brick so
that a kiln of 100,000 will be fired
with -$17 worth of grass, and that
excellent brick are furnished, and
laid in the wall at f5 a thousand.
This seems almost incredulous, but
George assures us it is a fact. Mr.
Thorpe is pulling up a brick build
ing 22x50 ft., basement story 8 feet,
first story M and second 12 for $780
for the brick work.
The Era seems to think that it
can gain more notoriety this fall by
working a little on the non-partizan
"dodge." When next the Demo
cratic Central Committee meet, they
might take into consideration the
propriety of reading the Era out of
the party, and recommending our
Bourbon friend of the Democrat as
the authoritative spokesman of the
faithful iu old Platte. The Era af
firms that the Journal is "terribly
ignorant of Democratic theology" iu
a certain particular namely, that
they find their increase in fighting
each other. On that sample of
theological wisdom we cau hardly
recognize the Era as a sound expo
nent, and if it is intent on quarrel
ing and lighting its own parly
friends that increase may follow, we
shall have to turn it over to the
tender mercy of that Central Com
mittee which has beeu duly author
ized to chop the political head off
of every Democratic candidate who
6hall give aid and succor to any of
the opposition. If we are to com
bat Democracy in Platte county we
want to know just what sort it is.
These remarks concerning the Era
have been mainly suggested by the
following paragraph: "Two-thirds
of the candidates seeking office in
this county this fall, haven't exper
ience and capacity sufficient to set
a pointer dog."
Pergonal.

A Hie Rickly came up from Lin
coln, arriving home Sunday. Work
on the A. & N. road is proceeding
at a lively rale, and is being well

of the management to wait until a
long stretch is ready.

We purpose keeping up a record
of local politics. We find that it is
a good thing for the readers of the
Journal to know from it what, is
transpiring with both political par
lie:, here iu Plmle county. The con
test for nomination this fall promi
es to be interesting at least, it not
exciting and all-absorbing. The
following from the Jira is the body
of resolutions adopted by the Com
mittee. We suppose the last word
should be "committee." We give
these resolutions because they have
been the subject of considerable
comment :
Jiesolved, That the County Con
vention nominate county officers by
viva voce vote, and that we recom
mend that the delegates from the
different precincts do not pledge
themselves to any caudidate.
Jiesolved, That any candidate who
shall give aid or assistance to the op
posite party shall be stricken from
the ticket by the Central Convention.
