it ' K 9 t ')'.' i - t n i Fight It out ob tit In I.Ihc The bourbou democracy, in their tight against Mahonc, place them selves deliberately in the attitude of repudiating the last democratic can didate (or the presidency. It was Hancock who, in bis letter of ac ceptance, going beyond the bourbon platform of his party, declared the issue, eo far as the south was con cerned to be a full vote and fair count. This is not the first time nor the second that the democratic party has repudiated its candidates. In ISM, the copperhead democracy nominated General McClellan on a platform declaring the war for the Union a failure, and demanding the cessation of hostilities on the part of the Union north. Gen. McClellan, in his letter of acceptance, went be yond the copperhead platform, and in effect repudiated it. Gen. Mc Clellan was defeated, sharing in his defeat that.of the copperhead-disunion party. In 1876 Mr. Tilden was nominated on a brigadier-democrat ic platform, which was silent in regard to the then vital and com manding issue of the payment of rebel claims. Mr. Tilden, seeing that he could not hope for any sup port in the north, without an ex plicit declaration on that point just before the day of election wrote his celebrated letter, disavowing for himself any principle or purpose looking in that direction, and assur ing the country that should he be come president his veto would be interposed against any and all actB of a democratic congress providing for the payment of claims of rebels for damages sustained in the course of their war againBt the Union. Mr. Tilden was defeated. And so Gen. Hancock does not stand alone in being repudiated by the democracy at least by the copperhead-rebel element of the democracy, and that is about all there is left of it. North ern democratic copperheadism de feated McClellan in 1SG4; southern rebel brigadierism beat Tilden in 187C ; and northern democratic bour bouism in alliance with southern brigadierism knocked the stuffing out of "VVoful Sawdust Hancock in 1880. Can the bourbon Ethiopian change his color or the copperhead leopard its spots? What said a prominent southern brigadier senator the other day: "We would not continue this struggle twenty-four hours, if noth ing were involved except the poa sessiou of a few offices. If the Ma houe movement in Virginia suc ceeds, we may as well make up our minds to surrender the control of half a dozen of the other southern states. Mahoue's success will make political rebellion and treason re spectable in the south, and Mabones will spring up in North Carolina, in South Carolina, in Georgia, in Ala bama, mid even in Mississippi. The very existence of the democratic party in some states is at stake in this contest. Disaffected democrats in every southern state are watching the struggle with eager intorest, and they will rise in rebellion agaiust party discipline the niomeut they see the democratic party overthrown in Virginia." For two weeks we 6sl on the senate floor, not a month ago, aud listened to rebel utterances such as the debates in 18G1, when Davis and hi secessiou horde took their departure from the national capitol could no more than parallel. We heard Ben. Hill glory in all the shame of the solid south from the day he carried the Georgia conven tion over to rebellion to that in which, ten years after the war clos ed, be helped carry Georgia with the solid south by force and fraud. We heard his colleague Brown, glo rify and glory in white domination, secession and rebellion, in words most cool, deliberate and carefully weighed. We heard Lamar pro nounce an elaborate, comprehensive and finished oration, which was an apotheosis of state sovereignty, nul lification, secession and rebellion. We heard like reports of other rebel guns of lesser calibre, at points all along the solid south line on the democratic side. For two weeks since th,at time we have heard the distant echoes of other guns from the same batteries, and we hear them to-day. Here was Coke, of Texas, 60 late as Thursday, planting his rebel gun at the most advanced point of the line, not content with affirming Btate rights, justifying and glorying in rebellion like his prede cessors in the debate, but loading to the muzzle with the same anti-nigger ammunition which Bob Toombs and his crew drew from long before the war. "The people of the south had never been dominated by an inferior race and never would be. That dominant race meant to govern in the south, and forty or forty thou sand entering jFe4gesUke that sup posed to be Inserted in Virginia would not.deviate it from its course. It would rule." No loyal union man, no true re publican iu this whole land should permit himself to express one single regret for the time spent by the re publican majority in the senate in unmasking once for all the bourbon batteries all along the line of battle of the new solid south's rebellion agaiorf the union and against thb amendments of freedom. It has been time well spent. It has sufficed tb put the disloyal south, allied with northern bourbonism, fairly and equarely upon the record. It pays. Aud we say, let the republican maL jority fight it out on this line if it takes the whole summer. Despite U 'i the deprecations of a clique of re publican feathcrheads, which has not one vote on the republican side of the senate, the solid republican north will sustain the constitutional ma jority of the senate in its uncompro mising attitude againBt state-rigbt-ism, nullificationism, and caste-government through white domination over the nigger." Let the fight go on to the last ditch. No more shak ing hands across the bloody chasm, no more furling of the bloody eliirt till Unionism, nationalism, free cit izenship and universal enfranchise ment have become an actual and vital fact and not an empty aud dis honored name throughout the bour bon south. Omaha Republican. Pork and Politic. We produced 1,537,000,000 bushels of Indian corn in the United States last year. In the four years, ending with 1880 our total product of this king of cereals was 5,020,000,000 of bushels. The bare production of this corn requires a well-cultivated area of 60,000,000 acres ; which means not less than 2,000,000 farms, and gives employment in agriculture alone to 5,000,000 workmen,repaenting a pop ulation of not less than 25,000,000. The chief uses of this article are for bread, feed and the manufacture of whisky. We export in the grain condition about 90,000,000 bushels, and there is about as much convert ed into spirits. We export of corn converted into pork, lard, beef, mut ton aud diary products not less than the value of $420,000,000 a year, rep resenting say 600,000,000 bushels of corn. This accounts for just about one-half the annual crop. The other half is consumed by the producers. The annual hog crop, converted into pork, lard, hams, bacon, etc., for ex port and for consumption iu the urban aud manufacturing districts of the United States, may be mod erately stated at about 1,235,000 tons, or 2,470.000,000 pounds. This is the smaller part of the total production. The larger part is consumed by the producers, and enters to a greater extent than any other food supply including both corn bread and pork in all forms into the daily subsistence of the domestic population of this country. Above all other people iu tho world the Americans are pork eat ers, particularly on the farms and in the small villages, where beef and mutton are exceptional meats. We could, therefore, better dispense with any other agricultural staple than Indian corn. A failure of the cotton crop say to the extent of 50 per cent would cause us a loss of $100,000,000, making duo allowance for tho iucreaso in price which such a failure would cause in tho Euro pean markets. But a failure of the corn crop to the extent of 50 per cent would cost us $300,000,000 and be felt almost to the point of star vation throughout tho Union and in several countries of the Old World, now depending on the United Statos for a large part of their Bupplie. both in bread and meat. Should America stop entirely her shipments of corn, bacon, pork, lard and other food supplies resulting from corn, to England, it would cause a famine in the manufacturing districts aud a political discontent bordering on revolution. For prices of all arti cles of consumption would be dou bled or trebled, and the operatives would demand a greater advance in wages than the manufacturers could afford. The situation in France and Belgium is better, less dependonton America for food than in England but even in those countries the peo ple are gradually looking in our direction for meat supplies, because they can be procured from us cheap er than they can be produced at home. The French government has decreed the exclusion of American pork in all its various forms, be cause of a false report that it was generally diseased. The result may be disastrous to a few Chicago spec ulators. If that is all, so much the better. But it is not likely to bo of permanent injury to tho American producers of pork and corn; aud should France experience a year of great scarcity, she will be compelled to revoke the foolish decree and again draw on us for her meat sup ply, or do worse face a revolution. European manufacturing countries can no better do without American pork than without American cotton, because we can supply them in un limited quantity with the former as well as the latter, and at lower rates than any other country. Moreover, whatever may be said in depreca tion of the quality of our pork and bacon, it is a well known fact that Indian coru food produces better pork than any other food, aud iu thin cereal the United States has no rival. Other states besides tfaoHR tikoae peculiarly known as "the c states namely, Ohio. Indians. J tucky, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, NebraskaTiWisconsin, Mich igan, and Illinois4'prJuce corn, -but there is no Other region in tho world so well adapted at once to corn and the feeding and curing of pork as that we have named. Corn can be grown and hogs fattened in the southern states and elsewhere; but the climate is neither so well fitted for the healthy growth of the swine and the curing of the meat as in the region alluded to. These pork pro ducers form the backbone of the Republic, furnish the largest part of its trade. and transportation, fight its battles in time of war, support most of its schools aud colleges, pay by far the largest share of its revenues, and are the most independent and liberty-loving peoplo upon earth. An attack on their chief industry is something like an attack on the political system of the country and on tLe stomach of mankind every where. San Francisco Chronicle. Col. Ingersoll's Funeral Sermon. Below is the funeral sermon read by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll at the burial of his brother, Ebon C. In gersoll, ex-representative from Il linois. It was a touching tribute of brotherly affection and eulogy upon the dead man's life and character, and expressed in the very highest art of eloquence, of which Col. In gersoll is master. The love between the brothers was always a matter of comment among their associates, and it was the voice of affection which spoke: ' , "My friends: I am goiug to do that which the dead often promised he would do for me. The dead and living brother, husband, father, friend, died when manhood's morn ing almost touched noon, aud while the shadows were still falling to ward the west. He had uot passed on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point, but being weary for a moment he lay down by the wayside, and, placing his burden for a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down the eyelids still. While in love with life and enraptured with the world, he passed to silence and pathetic dust. Yet, after all, it may be best ; just in the happiest, sunniest hour of all the voyage, while eager winds are kissing every sail, to dash against the unseen rocks, aud in an instant hear the billows roar about the sinking ship; for whether at mid-sea or among the breakers of the farther shore, a wreck must mark at last the end of each and all and every life. No matter if its every hour is rich with joy, it will at its close become a tragedy as sad and deep and dark as can bo woven of the warp aud woof of mystery and death. This brave and tender man in overy storm of life was oak and rock, but in the suushino he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls; he climbed the heights and loft all superstitions far below, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning of a grander day. He loved the beautiful, aud was with color, form and music touched to tears. He sided with the weak, and with a willing hand gave alms. With loyal heart and tho purest hind he faithfully discharged all public trusts. He believed that happiness was the only good, reason the only torch, justice the only wor shiper, humanity tho only religion, and lovo the only priest. He added to the sum of human joy, and were overy one for whom he did some loving service to bring a blossom to his gravo he would sleep to-night beucath a wilderness of flowers. Life is a narrow vale between the barren peaks of two eternities. Wo strive to look beyond the two heights ; we cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wniling cry. From thcvoiceles3 lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word, but in the night of death hope seee a star and listening love can hear the rustling of a wing. He who sleeps here, when dying, mis taking the approach of death for tho return of health, whispered with his lowest whisper, 'I am better now.' Let us believe, in spito of doubts and dogmas and tears and fears, that these dear words are true of all the countless dead. And now, to you who have been chosen from among the many men he loved, to do tho last sad office for tho dead, wo give his sacred dust. There was, there is, no greater, stronger, manlier man than him whom wo now assign to your care for tho moment that intervenes ere the grave receives him." The Lincoln Journal has the fol lowing interesting statement : In conversing yesterday with a very iutolligont gentleman from Allegheny county, Pa., who is west for the first time, he remarked that he had no conception of the mag nificence of this country. That he had read and heard much concern ing Nebraska, and especially that portion contiguous to Lincoln; but he had no idea the half he had read about it was true; but now, after spending two days in and about the city, he was prepared to believe al most anything that might be said of the country. He left home sick.and grew much worse on the road, but two days spent in Lincoln riding and walking about the city, put new life into him, and he now felt better than he had for years. He is the father of three boys and two girls, and has written them to prepare to pull up stakes and come to Nebras ka. His farm of forty-two acres iu Pennsylvania, can be cashed for about $30,000, aud with this amount ho can purchase and stock a good farm for each of the boys and have a thousand or two dollars left for the girls. He says that if his neigh boys back in the Keystone State could see what he had seen in the past few days, the county would soon oe. depopulated. Mother Garfield. Good old mother Garfield in writ ing to a cousin, said of the president : 'James is smart, if I do say it." Why bless you, dear old lady, you have a right to say it. Your moth erly care and your creating baud developed, despite the most impor tune circumstances, tho first gentle man of the nation, and you have a right to enjoy in your own way the fruits of your labors. Your pres ence iu the white house is a joy to the entire nation. No victory ever won on battle field has given such supreme satisfaction, as does the fact that you have lived to enjoy this abundant harvest. The nation has recognized that " James is smart," and it asks with united voice that God may long bless his mother. Millions of warm hearts swell up to her with a tenderness and strenglli of feeling which they have never entertained toward stranger blood before. Carlyle. This is a paragraph from a review of the new book on the earnest Scotch philosopher: "The letters of Mrs. Carlylo, with his and her journal, show better the man than any biographer could hope to do in writing any number of vol umes. They were not written with any thought of publication, but are all the more valuable. Some of the penciled fly leaves of books Carlyle read contain the largest wisdom aud his best utterances. Noting the death of his father, Carlyle wrote : "He had finished the work that was given him to do, and finished as be came a man. He was summoned, too, before he had ceased to be in teresting, to be lovable. He was to the last the pleasantest man I had to speak with in Scotland. For many years, too. he had the end ever in his eye, and was studying to make all preparation for what he called often, 'that last, that awful change.' r-ven at every new parting of late years I have noticed him wring my baud with a tenderer pressure, as if he felt that one other of our few meotiugs here was over. Merciful ly, also, has he been spared me till I am abler to bear his loss; till by manifold struggles, I too, as he did, feel my feet on the everlasting rock, and, through time with its death, can in some degree see into eternity witti its life." In all the book there is wise discrimination iu the selec tions, and admirable system and arrangement. A Strange Preacher. There was ouco a minister of the gospel who never built a church. Who never preached iu one. Who never proposed a church fair to buy tho church a now carpet. Who never founded a new sect. Who never belonged to any sect. Who frequeuted public houses and drank wine with sinners. Who never received a salary. Who never asken for one. Who never wore a black suit or a while necktie. Who never used a prayer book. Or a hymn book. Or wrote a Sermon, Who never hired a cornet solist to draw souls to hear the "Word." Who never advertised his ser mons. Who never even took a text for his sermons. Who never went through a course of theological study. Who never was ordained. Who was never even converted. Who never went to conference. Who was he ? Christ. Graphic. The most porfect home I ever saw was a little house into the sweet incense of whose altar fires went no costly things. A thousand dollars served as a year's living of father, mother and three children. But the mother was the creator of the home. Her relations with her chil dren were the moat beautiful I have ever seen. Even the dull and com mon placo man was lifted up and onabled to do work for bouIs by the atmosphere which this woman cre ated. Every inmato of her house involuntarily looked into her face for the key-note of the day, and it always rang clear. From the roso bud or clover leaf which in spite of her hard hdusowork she always found lime to put beside our plates at breakfast down to the story she had on baud to bo read in tho even ing there was no interruption of her influence. She has always been, aud always will be, my ideal of a wife, mother and home maker. If to her quick brain, loving heart and exquisite face had been added the appliauces of wealth aud the enlarge ments of wide culture hers would have been tho ideal of home. As it was, it was the best I have ever seen. Sin always begins with pleasure and ends with bitterness. It is like the colt, which the little boy said was very tame in front aud very wild behind. The Stenal Service observor on the top of Pike's Peak holds the highest oflice in tho gift of tho na tion. RACK ACHE QUICKLY CURED BY CARTER'S Smart Weed -AND- Belladonna BackAcIie Plasters!
