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

states namely, Ohio. Indians. J

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

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.
