There are three women in this

Mrs. Bittenbeuder aud the Grand
Island Independent by Mrs. Mobley.
An exchange says that the coin
age of nickels has been suspended.
With the recent action of the State
Banks to create a panic and to con
trol the legislation of the country,
presents a time when the Republi
can party should take a forward
movement on this question and
perfect a system under the exclusive
control of the government to rem
edy this defect in the law creating
the state banks by which the people
can have a currency backed by the
credit of the government in the
shape of legal tender greenbacks and
a fractional currency to take the
place of the bank issues. Public
men, and especially political leaders,
are slow in taking a forward move
ment on any new question, but this
is a country ruled by the peop!e,and
when they determine to act, leaders
and political parties have to get-out
of their way or fall in line and march
with them. The late action of the
banks has opened the eyes of the
people to the daugerous power the
banks possess in bringing about a
depression in business, and causing
a financial panic, when no occasion
in the business of the country exists
to warrant it. The republicans now
have an opportunity to at once take
their stand on this question, remedy
this defect in the present system,and
give the people a good system of
currency backed by the government,
which the people will approve.
The rise of last week in the wa
ters of the Missouri river west of
Sioux City, in connection with the
ice gorgee, caused fearful destruc
tion of property. The gorges in
places flooded the bottom from five
to fifteen miles. The town of Greeu
Islaud, Neb., opposite Yankton was
swept away. The inhabitants could
be seeu from Yankton, clinging to
their houses as they floated off; a
large amount of stock is supposed to
have been drowned. All the bottom
lands were flooded. At the town of
Vermillion, the water was ten feet
deep in the principal streets. The
inhabitants took to the bluff back of
the town. Several boats were des
troyed in the harbor at Yankton,
and others damaged by the floating
ice. The town of Madden, opposite
Bismarck, was eutirely inundated,
but it is believed the citizens all
reached the bluffs in safety, though
their suffering must have been in
tense. There was from four to five
feet of water and floating ice in the
streets. Railroads aud government
warehouses at the levee are consid
erably damaged. Over two hun
dred head of cattle on the bottom
in the vicinity perished. Great ap
prehensions were felt for the safe
tyofthetowus below.and it was feared
that Sioux City was in danger of
being deluged by the rising waters.
Harper's Weekly contains some
curious and amusing cuts. One of
them in the last number a lesson of
instructiou when properly appre
ciated by those who carefully inspect
and read it. A wind mill in the
distance with Senator Mahone
mounted on a donkey, with a sack of
grain divided in the middle, instead
of the grain In one end and a heavy
stone in the other as used to be the
custom in former days among the
Bourbons. This way of dividing
the grain instead of using a big stone
at one end of the sack, Mahone
thinks is the right way, but Senator
Ben Hill is represented as meeting
him on the way to the mill, and
shaking his big cane at him, as much
as to say, you must not carry your
sack of grain in that way, you muBt
put the grain in one end and a
heavy stone in the other that the
old way was the only way. Hill is
representing a solid Bourbon oppo
sition to the North.
iHebraiika Y. M. C A. Conven
tion. The State Executive Committee
has arranged, at the invitation of
the Lincoln association, to hold their
State Convention at Lincoln April
15th, 16th and 17th. Circulars of
invitation have been sent through
out the State asking Churches and
Sabbath Schools to send delegates.
Any person interested has a cordial
invitation to attend and take part.
A number of prominent workers
from abroad will be present. Those
who will attend and are desirous of
securing reduced rates on the rail
roads should send to the secretary,
George T. Howser, Omaha, their
names, as soon as possible. The
friends of the Lincoln association
will furnish entertainment for the
delegates.
Senator Mahone of Virginia the
other day replied to the several
assaults made upon him by his
colleagues Johnson, Voorhees, Bay
ard and Senator Brown, making an
able explanation and in many res
pects eloquent defence in relation to
his course aud action in the senate.
In his concluding remarks he said,
"I am here to assert that Virginia,
the mother of the union, renews her
old-time devotion to the govern
ment her honored sons aided to
construct, and in furtherance thereof
I propose to give my best abilities
and to exert my every energy."
It is predicted by one who has
visited the mountain country tri
butary to the Platte river that
the high waters in May or June in
the Platte river will be unprece
dented. He believes but for the
absence of ice in the stream at that
time the probability is that the flood
would be far more disastrous than
the late flood.
Wlmt L Uvpublicuaiaita 7
Ed. Journal: The Omaha lie
publican, iu answer to my comments
on his definition of republicanism
says that I refer to what I think
republicanism will be, whilst he re
ferred to what it is, that be took the
platforms tor bis basis, And asks is
the party devoted to that ambiguous
thing, progress; then admits that
the party has been known as the
party of progress and winds up by
saying that telegrams about astheap
as postals and transportation at cost
will not come under republican rule,
for that would be nihilism.
His first definition said "national
ism, hard moneyism, protectionism,
and the principle of equal rights,
outside of this there is no republi
canism." I claim that not only has the party
been known as the party of progress,
as he admits, not only will it be tho
party of progress as I predict, but
that it is the party of progress, and
does progress, though he cry nihil
ism, and ambiguity, never bo loud.
But he cries, "our platform." Take
any platform without progress and
.where would you be? When the
platform said no extension of slav
ery, with progress, that embodied
freedom and enfranchisement. Can
the Omaha Republican see that had
he then stood up to claim that, out
side of prohibiting slavery in. the
territories there was no republican
ism, he would now be able to see
his own folly? Did we arrive at
sound currency without progress?
Is not the platform frequently the
expression of the steps already de
termined as next iu progress?
Statesmen realize that when a ques
tion once fairly comes before our
people they must be ready to grap
ple it, for republicanism to-day
means progress, and that is no am
biguous thing to the average repub
lican. Russia has nationalism, ni
hilism, Mexico hard money, etc., but
we hope that we are on the road
towards filling the perfect measure
of a government of mutual interests,
administered by a political party,
liberal euough to progress with the
progressing world, and strong
enough to embody some conscience
in its acts, at least occasionally.
After accusing me of a confusion
of terms, etc., he goes on to ask,
Does the republican party embrace
the principles of to-day? as though
I were seeking to limit the party,
instead of he. I do not expect the
party to stand still whilst civil ser
vice reform, prohibition, female
suffrage, cheap transportation, cheap
telegraphy or any other mutual
public interest is settled, but I
think he had better stop and sum up
bis defiuitious; having defined re
publicanism, he next proceeds to
characterize progress as ambigui
ty cheap transportation as nihil
ism. To show the value of such
defining, I might add to bis list thus :
free homesteads, murder; cheap
postage, assassination ; free schools,
treason ; free speech, highway rob
bery ; railroad extortion, as the milk
of human kindness.
Respectfully,
E. A. Gerhard.
The Sioux City Journal says more
hogs are raised in Iowa to the acre
than in any other state in the Union.
To an Iowan a bog is a bonanza, and
carries around on his four feet the
possibilities of every luxury. There
is richness in him from bis nose to
the end of his tail. His bristles
make brushes; his hide, leather; his
sides bacon ; his quarters, shoulders
and hams; bis fat, lard, butterine,
oleomargarine, suine, wagon grease,
&c. ; and his lean makes sausage;
and three parts of him that beats
guano as a fertilizer. But without
enumerating the advantages of the
hog dead it is enough to say that the
Iowa hog is the living grunting
embodiment of all the possibilities
there are Jn the hog of the most
excellent type.
A new monster passenger engine
has been constructed at Philadel
phia, Pa., which is expected to make
a revolution in railroad travel. This
engine is 62 feet long, weighs 97,000
pounds, and is equipped with 18
iuch cylinders and four G)t feet
driviug wheels. This engine did
its first work on the road the other
day, bringing tbe Pacific express
from Altoona to Harrisburg. Tbe
run from Harrisburg to Philadel
phia, 110 miles, was made in two
hours and fifty-two minutes. The
engineers who saw her run were
greatly pleased with her speed, and
others believe that this engine will
make the fastest time ever known.
It is stated that the west of Ire
land are busy working on their
lands, but manifest great anxiety to
know the terms of the government
bill lately passed by parliament. We
do not know what provisions the
bill contains, but learn it requires
the large landowners to sell to ten
ants at reasonable rates 30 acres of
land, which if properly improved
and cultivated might barely save
its owner and family from starva
tion. W. H. Michael, an attorney of
Cheyenne, formerly editor of tbe
Sidney Plaindealer, escaped assassi
nation on the 31st ult., at tbe hands
of a desperate character named Ryan
whose conviction for a crime Mi
chael was recently instrumental in
procuring. Michael carries an ugly
out on bis head. The would-be
murderer escaped on his own horse
(which he bad in waiting) before any
attempt wasmade to arrest him. I

Chicugo, the Chicago and Alton aud
the Chicago, Milwaukee aud St.Paul
railroads have lininhcd a irraud un
ion depot at Chicugo, which is pro
nounced the fiuest iu this country,
not excepting the Providtnce depot
in Boston. There are three main
buildings built ot Philadelphia press
ed brick, and all trackage is roofed
with iron and glas3, under which
twenty trains cau arrive and depart
at the same time. The passenger
building is finished in marble and
black walnut, aud the ceilings are
finely frescoed. The cost of the de
pot was about $2,000,000.
A lady was arrested the other
day in New York by a detective
from Chicago charged with stealing
$12,000 worth of diamonds from
Charles" Perkins, of Chicago. The
detective declined to give her real
name, but said she was the wife of a
wealthy physician of Chicago worth
$30,000 and that her family connec
tions were the best in the state. She
is a handsome woman about 25 years
old and dressed iu the height of tbe
fashion in bright and costly clothing
and wearing oxpensive diamonds.
Tbe officer has taken her back to
Chicago.
