Now is the time when tho pa
pers record the drinking of water
by little children, out of saucers
containing fly poison. It is doubt
less good economy to kill the flies,
but what shall be said of the care
lessness which leaves the poison free
of access to the little one who knowB
not its deadly power, and who often
pleads for water without getting it.
In a lengthy aud interesting ac
count of the celebration of the 4th
at Madison the Chronicle remarks
of the oration delivered by our
townsman, Judge J. G. Higgins : "It
was one of the best orations wo have
ever heard. Wo endeavored to re
ceive the same for publication but
his Honor was too modest and said
we had heard it once, and that was
enough."
Messrs. Anderson & Yarnell aro
about to open a steam laundry.
They have secured the laundry of
the Grand Pacific, together with the
use of water and pipes. This is a
large enterprise, and worthy of pat
ronage. We know nothing as yet of
their terms, but it strikes us that
families ought to be able to have
their washing and ironing, or a con
siderable portiou of it, done at reas
onable rates.
The moBt extensive advertiser
in ColumbuB just now and for some
time paBt is A. W. Doland, the pro
prietor of the drug-store near the
post-office. His advertisement is by
no means a small one, and is chang
ed every week. Such enterprise is
commendable, because it brings
custom from far and near, helps
others as well as Mr. Doland him
self, who finds it pays to make good
upe of printers ink.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. North re
turned home Friday from a visit to
friends in Indiana and Ohio. J. E.
was one of Nebraska's delegates to
the Cincinnati convention, and he
expresses himself as very well
pleased with the nomination, its
reception in Cincinnati, and the
enthusiasm which he has seen ex
pressed elsewhere. Mr. North gives
favorable report of the crops in Ohio,
from Cincinnati to Cleveland.
It is said that when chinch bugs
have no more wheat they will work
in the corn, and that they can be kept
on tho edge by giving them three or
four rows, plowing a trench between
that and the field, raakiug the trench
perpendicular on the side towards
the protected part. We give this
as we hear it, without any knowl
edge of our own concerning it. We
fear that the best remedy (which
seems to have been applied else
where) is to quit raising wheat for
three or four years.
Last Friday night a man stop
ping for the night at J. C. Wear's
boarding house stole some money, a
pocket-book, knife, watch, &c, and
endeavored to get away with them,
but didu't succeed. The old gentle
man 'had his suspicions, and when
the thief wanted the door unlocked
to get outside in the night Mr. Wear
called his attention to the fact that
it was not necessary for him to do
so. In the morning search was
made and the missing articles were
found secreted in his room.
A petition was circulated Sat
urday to Becure the construction of
a crossing from Schram'a corner
on 13th street.to tha Checkered Barn,
on 11th street. A crossing has been
laid from Schram's corner towards
the A. & N. depot. The improve
ments going on in the streets of our
city, are visible testimonials of the
energy of Mayor Becker and the
City Council, and we shall be
pleased to see them do all in their
power to further the interests of the
city. We know that the will is
good.
Mr. Hunneman is making re
pairs on the steam boiler at his ele
vator; and will also overhaul the
foundation of that building, which
work will take about thirty to for
ty days, and in the meantime he will
b,ny no grain. Bjr the way, he has
employed Cbas. Schroeder of the
Foundry to rebuild the boiler. This
is quite a recommendation for
Charlie, because Mr. Hunneman is
himself a mechanic, and knows
when work of that kind is done
right, JfChas. can peae him be
pan. please aaybody. We would
like to see more men, like Mr. H.,
employ home talent for work they
may hare to do,
Hancock Ratification.
It had been given forth several
days that Monday evening was to
witness a grand "blow out:' by tho
Democracy of Columbus, in favor of
their national nominees. Monday
evening it was noticeable that prep
arations were going forward for !
bon-fires and powder burning for
the occasion. Old boxes and barrels,
and some cord wood were piled up
in front of Kramer's and north of
Hunneman's elevator, and when
darkness had sufficiently enveloped
the earth to make lights visible the
noise and the fire began and were
kept up until ten o'clock, but the
chief performances of the evening
were the procession and the speak
ing. The former consisted of the Co
lumbus Cornet Band, hired for the
occasion, followed by five transpar
encies carried by boys drafted into
the service. After perambulating
the streets of the city they brought
up in the square in front of Hunne
man's office, and the speaking began.
J. P. Becker presided, introducing
the speakers for the occasion. We
would like to report their remarks
at length but our space is limited.
There scarce could be a better Re
publican campaign document than
the account of that meeting, com
posed in large part of Republicaus.
Being an impromptu matter" the
speeches that were not studied con
tained, as a matter of course, more
or less praise of the Republican
part7 and its presidents.
There were 6ome things, however,
that we can not omit, but must refer
to very briefly.
Mr. Hensley said that the South
accepted Hancock and he accepted
the South. The truth is the South
nominated him, the South will prob
ably be "solid" for him, he suits
their purposo, and, if elected, ho will
do their work to the extent of his
ability. It will be news to our
i eaders that "o'f all the generals of
the late war Hancock stands at the
front'' if by that Mr. H. meant he
stood first. He didn't know wheth
er to approve the party platform on
the Chinese question.
He declared that Mr. Hayes had
made as good a president as we ever
had a declaration that some of the
speakers who followed him, took
occasion to oppose, Hayes being a
Republican. Mr. Hensley'a remarks
were temperate, candid and evi
dently siuccre.
Mr. Sullivan followed, giving his
word as a Christian gentleman, that
he would not make a political speech.
Evidently the Republican party has
touched him sometime in a tender
place, for he called President Hayes
"the sublimation of imbecility who
rattles" we conldn't hear the re
mainder of the sublime reference,
but we believe the presidential chair
occupied by Jefferson was spoken of,
with perhaps an allusion to those
other sublime Democratic patriots
Pierce and Buchanan. Mr. S. was
very confident that the Democracy
wore about to succeed because, he
said, "the Republican party is dead
and has no more right among the
living than any other ghost," to
which sentiment the numerous
"ghosts" present responded with a
very "lively" laugh. The "Christian
gentleman" then subsided, and gave'
Dlace to Judge Higgins.
The main idea of the Judge's
speech, as he expressed it, was that
the Democrats had been "sucking
the hind tit for the last 20 years and
we propose to chance places now."
He went on to elaborate this idea by
referting to the campaigns since
1860, going to show that in all of
them except that of 1876, the ele
ments of success were not present,
but were conspicuously absent. Of
course he claimed that Tilden wbb
elected they all do, and it makes
them mad every time they happen
to think of it, aud be tried hard to
make his audience believe that they
felt the success of Hancock in their
bones. We would like to know of
the Judge which particular bones of
the human anatomy are considered
prophetic of presidential issues.
Guy C. Barnum, one of the old 4
Democratic war horseB of this comi
ty, was next called out and made
some original remarks. He didn't
expect to speak, but a man should
always be ready to say a good word
for a good cause. The circumstan
ces seemed to rouse tho old spirit of
the party. "We have beeu dead and
buried several years," said the speak
er, at which most of the crowd
laughed approvingly, but he spoiled
their fun when he added "but we
are still on top of the ground."
He declared that Hayes was the
best president the Republican party
ever bad but they had to steal him
he afterwards excepted Lincolu,
whom he said every man, Republi
can or Democrat, loved.
At this stage of the proceedings
the chairman announced that the
stock of speakers had give out, but
the crowd were not satisfied, and
called for North.
Like Mr. Barnum he thought a
man should not be backward in say
ing a word for bis political faith.
He bad been a Democrat from his
youth up, because he believed in the
Jeffersonian Democratic, doctrine of
the greatest good to the greatest
number. He made an allusion to
John Hancock, the bold signer of
the declaration of independence, and
spoke of the Democratic nominee as
occupying a place after the 4th of
March next where he would become
at noted as his illustrious ancestor.
It it a matter of little import, but
our iuformatiou is that John was,
like Tilden, a bachelor.
S. L. Barrett was called -out aud
made several remarks, among which
were that Garfield was a very able
man, and that every indication of
the campaign pointed to the success
of the Republican party which, of
course, brought out a smile of self
conscious sutislaction on the coun
tenances of the Republicans present
but Barrett corrected himself im
mediately by stating that he had
belonged to the Republican party
so long that he sometimes got mixed.
He didn't "used to" get mixed that
way when he was a Republican.
John Rickly, one of the old lend
ers of the Democracy, was then
called forth. He would sooner
have had Thurman as a candidate.
The military idea was distasteful to
him, and he went on to cite the his
tory of Democratic nominations on
this point, which was one of the
cardinal principles of the party the
supremacy of the civil over tho mil
itary power. He declared that he
knew Hayes when he was a boy,
and that he was a good boy, a d d
good boy, but he had run away with
all the good feelings he had for him
when he accepted the presidency
through fraud. These old-line Dem
ocrats when they begin to think of
that electoral commission, 8 to 7
business, and how near they were
to the kingdom, it arouses some
thing of the spirit of Avar in their
heaving bosoms, and they imme
diately want to fight or pray. In
this case it was a prayer, "to-wit"
(as Sullivan would say) "God grant
if Hancock is elected he will get
there," and thus tho anvils ceased,
tho tallow dips within the thin
transparencies faded and flickered
and went out, the oil gave out in the
torches, and the ratification mooting
dismissed without even a cheer at
any time for the ticket.
It is well known to our readers,
the Journal has long advocated
sheep culture for Nebraska farmers.
We all recognize the fact that noth
ing pays so well as stock, and to us,
no stock begins to compare with
sheep, when properly cared for. It
is, without doubt, true that they re
quire greater care but they more
than repay any extra attention that
may be given them.. The time is at
hand in many ot the more thickly
settled parts of the State that tho
range of pasture is being narrowed
down to the limits of a man's own
farm, and this makes it an object of
thought on the part of owners of
forties, eighties and quarters, to
adapt their programme to the chang
ed condition of things. Such will
find it to their interest to invest in a
few sheep and take care of them.
They will bring you three revenues
a year, and you will receive money
from fhpm the first year after pur
chase. As for those who have large
range of pasture they have a prince
ly opportunity to amass wealth. The
not profits have been known to be
from 40 to 400 per cent, per annum
the last figure, of course, reached
by speculation. We reiterate what
we have said a thousand times, the
prime wealth of Nebraska is her
grnst, and the chief end of the man
who endeavors to attain wealth here
is to utilize these grasses.
The chinch bug ha, for the first
time we believe in Nebraska, done
considerable damage to wheat. We
are glad to say that the destruction
has not been uuiversal, not even
general, but it has been a very seri
ous matter to individual farmers
here and there in the country. We
have before us a handful of heads
gathered from a field in which they
have been working for some time,
and we find that the grains ou the
stocks untouched arc large aud
plump, while the others are small
and shriveled. We believe that
most of the fields called lost will pay
to harvest, nevertheless.
Charles Thrush of Dodge coun
ty, well known toour older citizens
as an old-time resident of Platte,
five years ago invested one hundred
and twenty dollars in sheep, and
has kept an accurate account of his
investment including all receipts
and expenditures including taxes
and interest on money, aud his net
profit to-day, clear of all expenses,
is $1010. And this is but tho repeti
tion of many a man's experience in
Nebraska who has taken good care
of his shepp. Thorn is no invest
ment that begins to compare with il.
The bridge across the main
channel of the Platte is not in good
condition as to the souih end of the
same, which has dropped a foot,
more or less. A gentleman who had
business to transact on the south
side, fearing that the bridge would
not suslaiu a heavy load, went to the
County Clerk to speak about the
matter, who told him that the Com
missioners didn't want to fix it if
they could help it, and finally he
went around by way of Jackson to
get on the other side. Columbus
should look after this matter.
A few Welsh friends of the
WelBh Reserve Sunday school had a
re-union on the 5th which was en
joyed by all present. The "tea" was
given by Mrs. Robert Lewis, Mrs.
J. Elliott, Mrs. J. Edwards, Mrs.
David Thomas and Mrs. J. Parry,
who waited on the tables in their
handsome, pleasant manuer. Robt.
Lewis acted as chairman for the day
and John Edwards conducted the
choir, to both of whom, at the close
of the day, a vote of thanks was
given as also to the ladies for their
kindness. f
