Shall the Weak give Strength?
There has been much discussion in
certain quarters as to the injustice
of the republicans of democratic
states being allowed to make the
republican uomiuation. The ground
of objection is this: Iowa, for in
stance, will undoubtedly give her
votes for the republican nominee,
and thus help to elect him, while
Kentucky and Missouri, being dem
ocratic state, will not help directly
to elect tho nominee, but their voices
will be potent in the nominating
convention. Whcic republicans nro
dominant the Blaine voices seem yo
hav.e it; where republicans are
weakest, the Grant voices are far
more numerous. "Why is this? Do
these believe Grant a better repub
lican, a stronger candidate (more
certain of election), or do they think
their liberties and their lives safer
with Grant at the helm? There
must be a reason, whether they arc
able to give it or not. The Lincoln
Journal, in treating of this subject,
makes some pertinent remarks. It
strikes that paper "that tne republi
can's of tho solid south have a great
er interest in the election of a
republican President than the repub
licans of such slates as Iowa, and
Kansas, or Nebraska and Massachu
setts. In those state?, the failure to
elect a republican President would
have a trifling result compared to
the result to the party in the South.
They are perfectly able to take care
of themselves and defend their
rights of franchise and their equali
ty before the law, no matter what
democrat holds the executive chair
at "Washington. But svhat have the
republicans of the South in store if
the party is beaten next fall? If
the success of the rcpublicau party
is vital to anybody ou this green
earth, it is to the millions of repub
licans in the South, who would be
completely cut off by a national
defeat. What kind of a faco must
the republicans have, who expect
these people to sit down and hold
their tongues at this crisis in their
affaire??
Mr. Valentine did a good thing
for his constituents by having his
bill for tho relief of settlers on pub
lic lands pass the house the other
day. It provides that lands cover
ed by relinquishment shall be im
mediately subject to entry, upon the
filing of such relinquishment at
the local land office. This bill, if
it becomes a lawj will do away with
a great deal of roulino business on
tho part of claimants holding an en
try under tho pre-emption, home
stead or tiinbcr-culter act, and ena
ble claimants and purchasers of
their improvements and interest in
the land to settle at once and per
fect their contract by an entry at
the local laud office at the moment
the relinquishment is made.
A man by the name of Snftith,who
represented himself as being very
wealthy and expected in a short
time to receivo a few thousand from
Leadville, etc., wooed and won an
Elkhorn City widow, and under
pretense of buying her a lot of cost
ly wedding fixings obtained from
the widow $500 in greenbacks; he
promised to return next morning
with a carriage and lake her to get
a suit worth $150, a hat worth $.10,
and a gold watch. Mr. Smith and
the carriage did not return the next
morning, and tho widow by this
time realizes the true situation, and
doubtless would be pleased to have
in hand her $500 in greenbacks.
The corn crop to the farmers of
the west is one of great importance,
not only for stock feeding, but, (as
the past year has proved in some
localities), for marketing. The corn
crop of the farmers of Platte county
in connection with stock is the key
stone of their success, and full well
they know it, and need not to be
told to plaut corn in abundance and
cultivate carefully and in proper
season you will reap large profits, if
properly disposed of to your stock.
Don't be afraid of the corn crop.
The Sportraen's Association for

The town of Marslifield, Mo., is
reported as blowu down and a good
portion of it burned. Hundreds of
citizens lost their lives, and 200
wounded. Fifty deaths aio report
ed on James river, south of Spring
field, and a great number of persons
missing. .
A child was found at Marshfield
lodged in the crotch of a tree thirty
feet above the ground, but slightly
hurt. The force of the wind stripped
the bark from trees and lifted others
entirely out of tho ground and tele
graph po'cs and wires were carried
hundreds of rods into the woods
and tied and knotted among the
limbs of trees like cotton strings.
It struck the town at (5 o'clock.
Eye witnesses of the approaching
storm say it was n frightful looking
black cloud lined with fleecy white
funnel shaped clouds moving in the
manner of a screw propeller. It
moved with wonderful velocity, lit
erally destroying and blowing away
everything iu the path which was
about a half mile wide at this pointy
Large sized tiees were twisted off,
telegraph wires snapped and the
bark literally peeled from small
trees. Houses were blown from
their foundations, cattle, hogs, sheep,
hoises ami poultry whirled into the
air and carried a great distance. The
noise of the storm, the crash of
falling houses, and the cries and
screams of the terrified poople made
a scene of horror that beggars des
cription. "What wa3 a beautiful,
peaceful, quiet towu of 800 people
twenty-four hours ago, is now a
waste of desolation. Ont of 200
dwelling houses, not more than a
dozen are left standing, and but a
few of those remaining are uuin
jured. Of the business houses
arouud the public square all but
three are utterly demolished and
their contents blown awaj-, burned
or badly damaged.
I'atrncc School.
"We are informed that it is contem
plated by the Department of the
Interior to establish at the old Paw
nee Reservation a school for the
Pawnees. We hope this will be
done, and there are several good
reasons why it should be done.
Among these arc first. The Paw
nees there own the old school build
ings with some land attached, Just
as suitable as ever for occupancy by
a school, and cultivation as a farm,
and unless they can be used for this
purpose, will probably never realize
their just value to the tribe. The
second reason is that it has been
found by experiment that the young
Indian in school makes much belter
progress with his studies, and much
greater advancement In civilization,
when under good management and
separated from the immediate in
fluence of his tribe. In conversation
with those who used to have charge
of the Pnwiiec school we were inva
riably told that those pupils who
"boarded" with the tribe or ppent
their vacation among them did not
advance as tho others did. Only
showing what, after all, everybody
knows that home influence domi
nates over every other. The young
Indian who is allowed to spend u
considerable portion of his time
with his trible invariably lapses
into their habits, customs, prejudices
and vices. The Department, realiz
ing this fact, are looking favorably
upon schools separately conducted.
Oilier reasons lor establishing the
Pawnee school at tho old village
might be sought for, in the location
itself, in the midst of an intelligent
community friendly to the old tribe,
and at a place, delightful for health.
Five murders reported in Now
Englaud last week, the last one
being a little girl found near the
railroad track with her skull crush
ed. A feud existed between two
families, one of whom the girl was
a member, and her injuries were
not such as a'locomotive would in
flict, and other circumstances and
evidence go to show that the child
was killed by the other family, as
she was last seen alive near their
residence.
Adam Smith died at Chicago last
Thursday week. His death, doubt
less, will be a surprise to a large
number of acquaintances in Nebras
ka. He was largely interested in
real estate in Booue couuty, this
State, in his own right aud as agent
for owners, and his enterprises iu
that county showed him to be a
public-spirited man.
Guv C. Barton of North Platte
