There is no necessity whatever
for the Secretary of the treasury to
force all tho small greenbacks and
the national bank notes out of cir
culation, as great demand exists
among western business men for
small bills. All small notes should
be permitted to remain in circula
tion, and if necessary more added to
the volume. Gold and silver are
good enough, but very inconvenient.
Harper's Weekly puts it thus:
"We do not think that we are mis
taken in saying that the present im
pression of the country is that some
kind of arrangement has been made
which gives the Republicans the
majority, and that the Democrats,
acting within the rules of the Sen
ate, are preventing the Republicans
from turning out seventy or eighty
Democratic clerks and messengers
and other minor officers, and putting
in as many Republicans, and one
Democratic Sergeant-at-arms."
The statue of Admiral Farragut
was uuvcilcd with imposing cere
monies at Washington City on the
25th ult. President Garfield was
present aud delivered the following
brief aud appropriate address:
Fellow-Citizens It is a singular
province of art to break dowu the
limitations which separate genera
tions of men from each other and
allow those of past generations lobe
the comrades and associates of those
now living. This capital is silently
being filled up with heroes of other
times. Men of three wars have
taken their places in silent eloquence
as guardians and guards of the
nation they loved so well, and as
years pass on these squares and
public places will be rendered more
popular more and more eloquent
by the presence of dead heroes of
other days. From all quarters of
the country, from all generations
of its life, from all. portions of its
service, these heroes come by min
iatry and mystery of art to take their
places and stand as permanent guar
dians of our nation's glory.
Senator Voorhees also delivered
an address. Mrs. Farragut, widow
of the Admiral, was present, aud
given the position of honor next the
President, and the artist, Mrs. Vin
nie Ream Hoxie, was seated next to
him on the left.
Mr. Rollin H. N. Kelley, Clerk
in the general ticket office of the
Burlington & Missouri River rail
road, was arrested Friday last at
the U. P. Depot at Omaha, charged
with the embezzlement of a large
sum of money from the B. & M.
Co. Part of the money was found in
his possession and he confosscd to
tho offence. He was taken before
the police courts, where he waived
examination, and ho was committed.
He had been in the employment of
tho Co. eighteen months. Ho was
formerly a farmer iu Saunders coun
ty, and was a man of very genial
temperament aud formed many
friendships. When found at tho
depot he was apparently intending
to take the U. P. train for the west.
He had a package under his arm
containing tho funds, amounting to
about $1000, which he was about to
carry ofi. Wheu arrested, he ex
claimed "Oh! my wife and chil
dren !" He was held for trial, in a
bond of $4,000.
Don't KUk it.
It would seem liko good law that
wheu a stranger offers for sale, to a
banker or broker,at a great discount,
a note upon a thoroughly responsi
ble man, that the very fact of tho
low offer ought to bo enough to put
tho would-be purchaser upon his
inquiry as to the relative rights of
original parties to the note. If a
good sound horse is offered at a very
low price, suspicion at once enters
the mind that he was stolen. We
believe that an Iowa court has pass
ed upon this subject recently, but
to what length the decision runs
we are net aware. We would cau
tion farmers, however, against the
whole tribe of traveling tricksters
and note-takers. Deal with men
you kuow. Buy of regular dealers,
whether it be dry-goods, jewelry or
wire-fence. Sign no paper to a
strangor, and then it will not be
necessary for a court to pass upon
the validity of your note.
The recent high waters of the
Missouri and Mississippi have over
flown millions of acres of land, des
troyed immense amounts of property
and made thousauds of families
homeless. The bottoms between the
bluffs at Nebraska City, from eight
to ten miles wide, were one sheet of
water. Farms are ruined, houses
destroyed aud slock gone. Alex.
Noble, a farmer living near Ham
burg, was drowned while endeavor
ing to save his family. The town
was partially inundated. At the
time of the flood 100 families of
Brownville were perched like birds
in the trees, and on house tops,
waiting and praying for relief.
Every man and boat was engaged in
the work of rescue. Tho river at
that point was two feet higher than
during the big flood of 1867, which
was the highest water ever known
in this country.
The river at St. Joseph on the 27th
ult., was twenty-two feet six inches
above low water mark, and rising
slowly. Many families have been
rescued from their inundated houses
in the bottom lands, where the peo
ple are generally in destitute cir
cumstances. All available flat boats
have been in use removing people
and stock. An old man and his
wife, seventy or eighty years old,
were rescued from the Elmwood
bottom, where they were living in a
one story house, having been two or
three days surrounded by a swift
current, a mile from land, with the
water two feet deep in the house.
Two men with a skiff discovered
them aud brought them to the city.
They had been in the water until
their limbB were cramped and they
were helpless.
Tax Payers Association.
The idea of an association, with
out respect to parly affiliation, that
would look a little after the public
interests in the matter of assessing,
levying and collecting the taxes, and
then as to how the money thus rais
ed is spent, by whom, and for what
purposes, gains ground. A corres
pondent hands ns tho following:
"A good time to organize a tax
payers' association is right now, and
be ready to look over the assessment
when returns are made, attend the
meetings of the board of equaliza
tion in June, see who pays taxes for
what they owu or don't own, exam
ine books, and see where the money
goes, &c, &c. A move that should
have been made in years past, is an
interesting study for those of an
industrious disposition aud investi
gating mind."
Tlmt Herd Law.
Editor Journal : In the Schuyler
Sun of a recent dntc there is a com
munication on the subject of Senator
Turner's amendment to the herd
law, over tho signature of " F." I
should be sorry to give an unfair
definition to the capital, but it seems
to stand for Fault-finder, for I can
not believe any person who will
give the subject the thought it de
mauds, or even deserves, but will
see its wisdom for tho future, and
its imperative justice for the present.
As a matter of public policy, inde
pendent of its individual right of
protection to our meadow lauds,
shows the wisdom of its enactment.
Prior to the adoption of the general
herd law in 1871, the statute books
were covered all over with local
herd laws, enacted to suit the neigh
borhood in which it was desired, aud
were as often as varied iu their ope
ration as the locality diversified in
penalties and restrictions, fostering
bitterness of feeling and angry liti
gation. The enactment of the gen
eral law wiped out the feuds of the
past, and has worked so admirably
that nearly every agricultural writer
who has visited our state for the
purpose of learning the operation ot
the herd law, has commended it as a
grand advauco in economising tho
expenditure of opening up now
farms. It is no surprise, then, that
the herd law, with Senator Turner's
amendment, "receives so much ap
proval on the part of newspaper
men ;""they are tho faithful heralds
of our advantages, and are ever on
tho alert to discovor aud proclaim to
the enquiring thousands seeking the
state that offers the best induce
ments to the industrious aud intelli
gent Immigraut. The amendment
now incorporated with the general
herd law was a part of the original
law, but for prudential reasons was
stricken out; it was endorsed iu
spirit, but the country was not con
sidered sufficiently settled to require
it, but the iucrease of farms and
farmers in the past ten years, has
made it imperative that meadow
lands he protected. Hay is becom
ing oue of the most profitable aud
essential products of a Nebraska
farm; the prudent and thoughtful
man that plans Jus work before
hand, will utilize the plowed strip
and not let weeds be the only pur
pose for its use that the correspond
ent " F." seems to take alarm at. It
will be the best safeguard from
sweeping fires, and may be made to
check the drifting snows by the
cultivation of timber, and thus add
largely to the value aud beauty of
the farm.
No, no, friend " P.," the advanta
ges to be gained by tho amendment,
in a few years, will far outweigh
the present burden or expense of
plowing annually the bugbear of a
strip around 1C0 acres of meadow
land. h.
