I! THE JOURNAL. VTKDNE.-DAY, --EPT. 20. 1SS2. En'ered at tne Post-office, Columbus 3aeb., a second class matter. BEPTJBLICAK' TICKET. For Member of Con:rr3S3 District No. M. K. TCRXER. 3, Platte Coi For Representatives, E. B. IxA.LI., JOHN HAMMOND. For Commissioner District No. 2, NILS OLESON'. PlaUoi We, the republicans of the Third congressional district, hereby affirm onr loyalty to the cardinal principles of the republican party as enunciated through the national republican con vention that nominated Garfield and Arthur; Whereas, The republican party has ever since Its organization been fore most in adopting measures beneficial to the laboring and producing classes. Resolved, That the question of trans nortation is one of the most import ant problems now before the people for solution, and that the republican party of Nebraska should voice the sentiments of the people thereon in no uncertain sound; that all trans portation routes should be so con trolled by the state and general gov ernments as to prevent extortion, unjust charges and discrimination in any form or manner ; that the action of the different railroad companies throughout the United States in con solidating and pooling otherwise competing lines and issuing free pass es to public officers is contrary to a sound public policy, and should be prevented by proper legislation. Resolved, That we are in favor of reducing all railroad fares for travel a. this state to a maximum charge of three cents per mile. Resolved. That we are in favor of abolishing the state board of equali zation ec that all the property ot rail roads, and corporations shall be assessed and taxd in the same man ner as the property of individuals. Resolved, That we are heartily in favor of the bh'l recently introduced in congress to compel land grant rail roads to take oac patents on their lands, so that the same may be taxed, as lands owned by individuals are taxed. Resolved, That we, the republicans of the Third congressional district of Nebraska, are in favor of a careful, honest and economic expenditure of public moneys in county, state and nation ; that we heartily endorse the action of President Arthur in vetoing the river and harbor appropriation bill recently passed by congress, whereby millions of dollars of the public monies were recklessly squan dered ; that we condemn the action of members of congress and senators who voted to pass said bill over the veto. Resolved, That we -pledge the re publican party of the Third district to an earnest endeavor to carry out these resolutions. These is great damage done by torms and floods in Southern Spain. A genuine case of Asiatic cholera reported at Newport, R. I., the other day. Don't lake the political advice of men who fatten unseemly at the pub lic crib. A recent fire in Denver burned the Crescent mills and elevator. Loss $225,000. The Omaha Bee say3 Valentine fell behind nearly 1,100 votes in 1SS0 when nobody was running against him. The Herald expresses the opinion that the recent victory in Maine is a triumph for honest men and pure politics. It Is altogether a bad year for the political would-be '-bosses." Better let the people have their say once in a while. There were over fifteen hundred entries made at the secretary's office Monday, on the State fair grounds at Omaha. The Colfax county fair will be held this week at Schuyler commencing the 20th, and closing on the 22d of September. Heavy storms recently prevailed in Georgia. Fences and forest trees were prostrated and great damage done to crops. A two pound meteor fell during a heavy storm the other night at Le banon, Pa. It looked like a ball of fire in the street. Mrs. Margaret Matheso.v of Omaha, seventy-one years of age, committed suicide by drowning in the Missouri river. It is estimated that Egypt will lose nearly 70,000,000 by the war. The cotton and sugar crops, it is thought, will be entirely lost. Ten deaths last week from yellow fever at Havana. At Pensacola six teen new cases and three deaths were reported in twenty-four hours. One hundred and fifty delegates attended the anti-monopoly conven Tion at Saratoga on the 13th. Henry E. Tremaine was elected chairman. A United States registered bond of the denomination of 15,000 was tolen from the office of the United States register of the treasury some days ago. It it reported south of the Loupe, where the Griffith family reside, that the cow-boys had something to do with the death of Griffith and bis two sons in Wheeler county. A big fire at Quebec the other night destroyed one of the richest and most valuable blocks in Strocbs suburb. Thousands of people were thrown out on the streets half dressed. The British have burned a house b the left bank of the Mahomdieh canal, signals having been made from there to the enemy with lights. Llghte are now prohibited after nine o'clock at night, in any house beyond the out house. It is somewhat amusing to hear the oy of the Omaha Republican read ing out of the republican party such veteran in the cause as Senator Yau Wyck, Gen. Connor, .fudge Crouusc, E. fiotewater, and other. I Tee essential spirit of republican ism is iiberty and equality, liberty of conscience, liberty of thought, and liberty of act, and equality, one man with another, in the enjoyment of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness." Our government, "dedicated to the proposition that all men are equal," is or should be devoted to the task of removing the unjust yokes which unreasonable and grasping cap ital puts upon humble and patient labor; guarding with jealous care and the most watchful eyes the encroach ments of corporations upon the sov ereign and reserved rights of the peo ple; reducing, to the lowest notch consistent wirh the public safety, the burdens of taxation, gathering no more than is necessary for carrying on the various functions of our local and general governments, and not keeping in our treasuries enormous sums of money as a temptation for the rapa cious who will steal when they get the opportunity "by due process of law." Republicanism consists in thinking your own thoughts and speaking your own sentiments, regardless of the fact that there are newspapers who distort your language, misrepresent your sen timents, traduce your character and beslime you in every way, because their editors think it necessary so to do in the interest of a cause that they have set out to advocate against the expressed wish of the body of the people. Republicanism means cleanliness and fairness in political methods. While making all due allowance for party heat, it must ever stand as true republicanism to discountenance all methods of the primaries and cau cuses which will prevent the full, free and fair expression of the people's will. Let that will be recorded fully and openly, without let or hindrance. If you think it not right, endeavor to convince your fellow sovereigns by sound reasons and fair argument that they are in the wrong, but don't tam per with the primaries, don't dicker in sentiments, don't trade and traffic in grand principle", don't sell your soul, the privilege of expressing your honet entiments in your own way, I for any poor mess ot pottage. There is nothing more priceless than liberty of conscience, and there is nothing in all the world so valuable as those forces which preserve that liberty. The Journal has always advocated a strong government strong in the affections of the people, strong be cause resting upon the consent and expressingthe sentiment of the people, strong to do the risht for the weakest citizen as against the most powerful foe which threatens, but no particular set of officials must be allowed to imagine for a moment that they con stitute the government and have the right to perpetuate themselves in ppwer by the use of questionable means, by the use of money wrung from minor government employees, by the use of the partv lash or any other machine appliance by which Ignorance and Rapacity, placed in power, have always sought to con tinue their domination. Let the strong arms of the law be thrown around our primary elections, so that he who corrupts the stream of political power at its source shall be caught and pun ished, even to the extent of disfran chisement, as we do with those who commit common murder; let those who traffic in votes be given to under stand that their business is contra band, the same as smuggling; let the arts of tricksters deception, lying, misrepresentation and every species of fraud be discountenanced as un worthy of freemen ; elect no man to office who imagines he bosses the peo ple, and assumes that they are his servants instead of he being theirs; let every aspirant for place know that it is not because of any "claims" of his that he should be placed in official position, but because of his ability and his determination to carry out the will of the people. The North Platte Telegraph in speaking of the First and Third con gressional districts and the candidates nominated says : The first and third congressional districts have held their conventions, and made their nominations. In the first Church Howe did not have his boasted strength, and district Jndge Weaver carried off the right to fight for the prize. In the third district, matters present a more dubious ap pearance. Two conventions were held at Fremont, each claiming its legitimacy and denouncing the other as irregular. In one the present in cumbent, E. K. Valentine was nom inated, while the other put forward M. K. Tarner, editor and proprietor of the Columbus Journal, as their candidate. The chances are that the farmer's alliance and anti-monopoly league will declare in favor of Turner, since he is running on a platform comprising the principles of both. In this event, the chances of election will be equalized between the republican candidates in this district, but at the same time they become secondary to those of the democratic nominee, whoever he may be. The War. News from Ismalia on the 13th says Tel El Kebir was captured that morn ing by the British with a rush. The first shot was fired at 5 o'clock. The position was taken in twenty minutes, the British having surprised the enemy by -the night march. The British cavalry are in pursuit of Arabi's forces which appear to be completely broken up. His infantry are flying toward the desert. The killed alone of the Egyptians amount to 2,000. The retreat of the enemy on the north is cut off. The British loss was 200 including many officers. Arabi escaped horse back to Zig- azig. The enemy was in full retreat. Talentixe's majority in the third district will not be less than 10,000, and "don't yon forget it." West Point Republican. Don't bet on it. With no opposi tion two years aeo Valentine's maior- Ity was lees than 7,000. Bee. Communicated. September 20, 1882. I understand from a reliable source that Mr. J. W. Early, the county treasurer, has circulated the report that I wrote him an uncivil letter in reference to a lease of school land the west half of the northwest quar ter of section 36, township 18, range 2 west which is valuable for hay, and which was a part of the property of my father's estate. This land was to be given me by the other heirs if it could be done legally; therefore I called upon the treasurer for the' pur pose of adjusting the matter, told Mr. Early that I would like to have a little time to pay up, and requested him not to make me or the estate any trouble without giving me notice which he agreed to do, bat instead of doing so he attempted to get a new lease in At name from tie land commissioner at Lincoln. When I learned these facts I tendered his deputy, he being absent, the amount due on the old lease which he refused to accept. Mr. Early is now cutting bay on the land as a wrong doer. Now I am perfectly willing for Mr. Early to publish my letter, for it was only a plain state ment of facts, and I think it ungentle manly to give his construction to a document that he dare not submit. Mr. Early has offered money to com promise several times, which at least shows that he knows he is ia the wrong, besides the courts of Nebraska have decided that a forfeiture can only be declared by legal proceedings. The land commissioner has also stated that Mr. Early has no legal right to the land, and I think it unfair for a pnblic officer to act so concerning my deceas- ped father's property. Adda A. Millett. - The American Woman Suffrage Association was opened at Omaha on the evening of the 12th ia the audi torium of the Baptist church, which is one of the most beautiful assembly halls in the city. On this occasion the alter and chancel were profusely dec orated with flowers arranged in bas kets and boquets. At the rear of the platform was the motto in large silver letters, "Equality before the law." The following distinguished ladies and gentlemen occupied the platform : Hon. E. M. Correll, president; Mrs. Lucy Stone, Henry B. Blackwell and Hon. George B. Loring, Massachu setts ; Mrs. A. M. Bittenbender, Got. J. W. Hoyt and Judge Kingman, of Wyoming Ty. ; Mary E. Haggart, Dr. Mary F. Thomas and Hon. Wm. Dud ley Foulke, of Indiana; Mary B. Clay, of Kentucky; Mrs. R.N. Hazzard and Rey. J. W. Snyder, of Missouri ; Nar cissa T. Bemis and Mary J. Coggsball, of Iowa; Mrs. H. M. T. Cutler, of Illinois; Kate I. Kelsey, of Ohio; Margaret W. Campbell, of Maine; Matilda Hindman, of Pennsylvania; Rev. W. E. Copeland and many oth ers. Mary F. Thomas, of Indiana opened the meeting with prayer. Mrs. Bittenbender, president of the Ne braska woman suffrage association, delivered an address of welcome on behalf of the state. Rev. W. E. Cope land, at the request of the president, delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city. President Correll then introduced Mrs. Lacy Stone, who replied to the address of welcome on behalf of the guests. Mrs. Stone is a lady whose face and figure are strik ingly handsome and whose voice is very clear and pleasant. She spoke prettily of the warm reception the visitors had met with and of the pleasant impressions made by what they saw. Ilea. E. K. Yaleatlae. Omaha, September 12, 1882. To the Editor of the Bee. The artificial citizens of Massachu setts called the Union Pacific com pany, through its organ, the Omaha Republican, advertises to the world that it is highly elated over the par tial re-nomination of its present rep resentative in congress, the Hon. E. K. Valentine, and that I am not Both of us are placed in a very nat ural attitude. The Union Pacific has tested its servant and found him faithful to its every wish. I have tested him, and found him guilty of gross ingratitude. The Hon. John M. Thayer knows, and will so state if questioned, that the first political position E. K. Val entine ever held that of land officer at West Point was obtained through my earnest solicitation. It was the first and only political favor I asked for while General Thayer waa United aiaies senator, tie ODtainea tne ap pointment for Valentine within the last days of his term, when Valen tine was an unknown young man po litically, at my earnest request. This gave hima Btart In return, when I was nominated for United States marshal, Valentine bolted and opposed my confirmation, because the Union Pacific demanded it, to the extent of his ability. Valentine, in this and many other matters, has demonstrated bis wil lingness to be the subservient instru ment of this corporation, even at the sacrifice of honor and the interests of all the rest of his constituents. Hence the company is very naturally elated over his partial re-nomination, and I am just as naturally not over elated. St. A. D. Balcomie. AXTt-MOXOrOBTaT. The Third IMatrlct CraYeatlaa. In pursuance of a resolution adopt ed at a joint meeting of the State Alliance executive and state organiz ing committees, held at Lincoln, June 1882, there will be held at Hastings, Nebraska, September 27, 1882, a con gressional convention to nominate a candidate for the Third congressional district. The district comprises all the counties north of the Platte and from east to west, except Douglas county. The number of delegates from each county is specified in the call of the state convention that meets at Hastings at the same time. Let every county be folly represented by anti-Valentine delegate. By order of congressional -ommit-tee of the Third congressional district. H. C. OsTiBHOtrr, Ch'n. The small-pox was spreading last week at Paterson, N. J. Three new cases and one death reported. Mormon Bishops have been ap pointed by the Mormon priesthood to oversee the registration of votes. A suit for margins on stocks waa dismissed by a Montreal judge the other day, he placing them ia the same category as gambling debts. W. C. Grcttith aad his two sons Willie and Lester were killed oae night last week in Wheeler county, by the roof of their sod hoot falling on them. In regard to the republican voters in the Third district, it looks as though Mr. Turner had the anti and Mr. Val entine the monopoly. Omaha Re publican. Tax Republicans of California aad Nevada in their state conventions nave both spoken oat boldly ia their platform of priaciylas against mo nopolies. A Taxable hurricane passed aver the village of Winstead, Cona., the other evening, destroying tea booses and five barns, mostly in the north eastern portion of the village. The Omaha Bee says "advices from the Third district are very eacoarag ing. All along the Una republicans who do not wear the brass collar are buckling on their armor for the fray." Rothchilds the other day present ed the British army in Egypt with twelve thousand pounds of tobacco and five thousand pipes, which the Khedive allowed to enter duty free. It was reported last week that large prairie Area were raging fifteen miles west of Sidney, placing ranches aad also Sidney in immediate danger. The fire originated in northwestern Colorado. Tbux Blue," in the Omaha Re publican is serving his bosses. No one expected be wonld do otherwise. Hurry up aad get your written pledgee or the people may forsake your bosses. The entries at the state fair at Oma ha closed on the evening of the 11th ink, with four thousaad exhibits. The graands are said to be ia first rata order aad everythiag indicates a large attendance of people. Tax small-pox has broken oat on Station Island in the Mississippi river, also in Randolph county, near Prairie da Socher. It is supposed the dis ease was caused by an infected mat tress thrown into the river. Miss Fannt Davenpobt, an Amer ican actress appeared before a London audience the other evening in a aew play as "Diane, Conntess De Lyr." Miss Davenport was well received and called before the certain. We have to say to the Boone Co. 2few$ that our'statement as to who put Valentine in nomination at con vention No. 2 at Fremont was based upon information. The editor of this paper was not in that convention. Neab Baraesville, Ohio, the other day a B. & M. engine strack a wagon with four occupants, fatally wound ing one of them, threw the other three over the pilot, and carried them into town without receiving a scratch. Ik the star route cases a decision was reached last week by the Jury rendering a verdict of acquittal as to Tamer and Peck, and guilty as to Miner and Rerdell. As to the others, they were aaable to agree aad were discharged. Dicksok, the foreman of the star route jury, has filed his sworn state ment concerning the bribery, and warrants have been issued for the ar rest of Brewster, Cameron and Bow en, to answer the charge of at tempting to bribe a juror. Chables Habbis, a Pinkerton de tective, was assassinated the other night at San Antonla, Col., by two men who alighted from an emigrant train and approached Harris, who was standing on the platform, and shot him dead. Both men escaped. Thx Banner places the name of M. K. Turner for member of Congress, Third district, at the head of the Holt county ticket. The Banner says it will give its hearty support to M.K. Tarner, and M. P. Kinkaid, nominat ed for State Senator, Twelfth district Thx Merchants' bank at Wianepeg was robbed the other morning by two strangers who entered the bank dar ing the absence of the teller, securing $10,000 in bills, and no one saw the men near enough to be able to iden tify them, and the authorities are all at sea. tzuiblx wind storm swept through the Mebawk Valley the other afternoon. Thunder storms prevailed along the Hudson. Light ning was incessant and bliadiag. In many places the Hudson river rail road waa flooded and telegraph wires broken. Thi editor of the Omaha Republi can is wonderfnlly concerned about Gen. A. H. Connor. Don't be alarm ed about him, but ha assured when the time arrives for the political bat tle to begin there is no danger what ever that Gen. Conner will show the "white feather." It ia supposed now that Mr. Mon ger of Fremont will be the Dem ocratic nominee for congress in this district. Jodge Higgins of Platte county has also been spoken of, but we have not learned that he has con sented to allow his name to go before the eon? satoa, Thx Bee announced on the 13th inst., that the campaign in the Third congressional district wonld open at Fremont on the 21st September 82, 1 by a republican meetiag. Senator C. H. Van Wyck, Gen. A. H. Connor and other able and distinguished speakers will addreaa the people of Dodge county ia support of the re publican ticket, and especially of Hon. M. K. Turner, the republican. , candidate. ; T. P. Loyd's grocery store at Palmyra, Neb., was burned the other night. Loss about 13,000. Stxp to the front, Senator Van Wyck, and be read out of the party by a boy who waa sucking his thumb when you were fighting for the prin ciples of republicanism oa the battle field and in the halls of congress. Omaha Bee. Dodge county Alliance among oth er resolutions adopted the following: Resolved, That we hereby declare oar unequivocal opposition to the re nominatioa of E. K. Valentine, the present representative of the U. P. and B. & M. corporations in congress. Mas. Sabah J. Hale, editor of Oodey's Lady's Book, who died re cently, nearly ninety years old, was the author of "Mary had a little Lamb." It was written forty-six years ago, and first published in Bos ton in 1830. Mrs. Hale resided ia Boston at that time. Tux election in Maine has resulted in favor of the Republicans. A care ful count shows the result in the leg islature as follows : Senate, republi cans 28 ; fusion 3. House, republicans 87 ; fusion 64. From 294 towns, which give Robie 61,45, Plaisted 51,863; Robie's plurality 9,632. Hhxaxtbb, in England, a wife without a settlement will have full control of the property, real aad per sonal, which was hers before mar riage ; alao of her wedding gifts, her earnings and her legacies. Thi9 ia as good a bit of legislation as England has enacted In many a year. Isr Baltimore, a man waa convicted of beating bis wife, and the convict was terribly surprised when the Judge, instead of fining him a few dollars and letting him go, announced that under the new law adopted in Maryland his punishment would be thirty lashes on the bare back. Thx greatest objection on the part of the boy of the Omaha Republican to M. K. Tarner for congress, is that his bead is too large larger than the boy's. Don't be discouraged, boy, yours may possibly swell some, after you get through reading a few more republican veterans ontof the party. Thx train with the Marquis of Lome and Princes Louise on board. was ran into at Port Casta, Cal., the other morning by a yard engine. The engine of the special train was badly damaged. It was reported that the princess received slight bruises, but nothing definite had been obtained. One of the planks of the republican platform is economy in county mat ters. Public monies should not be squandered, and public officers should guard the public treasuryand the ways to the public treasury even from their own rapacity, where they feel the yearnings of mammon in their political heart. A vibt bad accident happened the other morning at Washakie, Wyo., by a regular U. P. passenger and express train running into a stock train and smashing op things generally. The suffering, loss of property to the com pany, as well as individuals, will be great, but only the natural results of such sad accidents. Thx Lord Mayor of Dublin gave an entertainment one day last week in honor of Mayor Harrison. The Mayor said the sympathy of Ameri ca, and especially Chicago, was with Ireland, aad be hoped to see her free dom restored through the liberality f England, which had itself freed millioBs of slaves. Hok. Paddock, of the Utah com mission, who is home for a day or two. says much good will come of the Edmonds act, bat that enlarge ment of the power of the commission by congress will probably be recem meaded in order to reach other abases almost as bad as polygamy in the government of Utah. A YI60B0US canvass will be opened by Senator Van Wyck in the Third district on behalf of Mr. Tarner, dar ing the next six weeks. The first meeting after the ratification at Fre mont will be held at Blair. The time for the Blair meeting will be announced in the Bee as soon as ar rangements are completed. Thx State Fair at Omaha has been a decided success in every particular. The exhibits and the number of per sons on the ground exceeds any previous Fair in the history of the state. The number of people on the grounds on Friday were estimated at 25,000. D. B. Wheeler secretary of the state exhibition has been highly complemented for his untiring labors to bring it about. Thx recent news from Salt Lake reports the Mormon priesthood have been circulating a secret circular giv ing itstroctions to their people dir ectly opposite to the law rulings of the'eommissioners. One circular was nnearthed the other day. They also decided to have three bishops sit with the precinct registers, and oversee the registration. The gentiles are moch incensed with the laterfereace. Thx Omaha Herald speaking of the convention and some of the men who assisted in nominating Mr. Valentine says: Some of the speeches were disgrace ful, and attacks on Crounse and Rose water were cheered to the echo. Hun dreds of republicans expressed their disgust at the proceedings. It may be set down as certain that Valentine won't carry Dodge county, and with ar tr tx . . .. v. man on the democratic ticket the third termer won't come within 500 votes of it. There will be music in the air all- along the Talley from now till election. Th anti-monopolists of New York are preparing to make an actire and rigorous political campaign in the coming state election. A section in their platform will claim that of 150, 000,000 taxation assessed last year, 142,000,000 was paid by farmers and real estate owners, while only 17,000, 000 waa paid by railroad corporations, the value of which, exceeds that of real estate. If convention No. 2 has such a large majority of the people with it In sen timent in the Third Congressional district, we cannot comprehend the great anxiety and interest manifested by its members and friends in trying to make everybody so very small who may differ with them on vital princi ples of political economy, in which the masa of the people of the district are more interested than all the poli ticians within its bounds. Chief Engineer Geo. W. Melville and Seamen Wm. Moroa and Wm. Ninderman, survivors of the Jan nette Artie exploring expedition, and two of the party that discovered the dead bodies of Lieutenant De Long and his companions,and Lieu tent R. M. Berry, of the burned Arctic ex ploring steamer Rodgers, arrived at New York the other day. The meet ing of Melville with his relatives was very affecting. He was overcome by bis feelings and wept like a child. Thx Sheriff and deputy of Chat tanooga county. Tenn., were shot and killed the other day while en route to Knoxville with John Taylor a prisoner in charge who bad been found guilty of murder. Several men boarded the train on the road and deliberately shot and killed Gate and Conway, wounded another man, released the prisoner and took charge of the traiu. Five thousand dollars reward is offered for the arrest of the Taylors. It is claimed that repeated attempts were made to bribe a juror during the trial of the star route case. Mr. Dickson, late foreman of the star route jury makes the statement that the man who approached bim with an offer of 125,000 Unvote for the con viction of Brady and Dorsey, gave his name as Bowen. He first met him on the 23d. of August. Bowen claimed to represent the department of justice. Another man by the name of Shaw had offered another juror money for his vote. Tax liquor trouble baa already com menced in Iowa. Three different lots of condemned liquors, on complaint of members of the Temperance Union, were destroyed one day last week at Harlan, Iowa. On the same night the residence of Rev. E. L. Sherman, pastor of the Congregational cbarch, was "bombarded." Bottles of liquid bluing were thrown into different rooms through the windows, damag ing furniture and walls to a consider able extent Mr. and Mrs. Sherman are both prominent among the lead ers of the law enforcing party. Tax Seward Reporter has this to say of the conventions and candi dates in the Third district: "With two republican candidates in the field, the third district is somewhat mixed. We will not presume to say which of the conventions waa regular, for we have not the means of know ing to a certainty. However, we will say that the convention which was called to order by Crouuse made a rar oetter piatrorm, ana. in our opinion, nominated a far better man than the convention which was called to order by Colson. Hon. M. Turner is a man who has made for himself name in Nebraska as a man of ability and integrity. As state senator from Platte county he made a good record, and if he should be elected to congress, we believe the third district would have no reason to be ashamed of him. Brothcb McCobxicx of the Pen and Plow has this to say of one of the aominees for congress in the third district : We really wish that we could advo cate the election of M. K. Turner of Columbus for old association's sake, but the circomstaaces of his nomina tion forbids. But he is a good man; an awful good man. He is a spherical man, there being nothing about him. to catch onto. He is too heavy to lift op, too high up to reach for and pull down, and too solid to bott at or kick at. We sympathise with you Mc, and must tell you what's the matter. Yoor bosses have yoo tightly lariated, and you are not a free man ; don't you see how closely they have tied the cord you can't "reach op to catch onto or pull down," neither can you "butt or kick." Snap the cord Mc., and be free, then yoo can "butt and kick" at pleasure. Tax Omaha Republican and other monopoly papers are spreading before M. K. Turner, the anti-monopoly re publican candidate for Congress in the third district, tome weighty argu ments in order if possible to induce Mr. Turner to withdraw from the field and give Our Val. a clean walk away, but there are toe reasons why they will hardly succeed. The first reasoa is Mr. Turner is a newspaper man, being engaged in the publication of the Columbus Joubsmx, one of the neatest and best papers published in Nebraska, consequently be is fore baaded, and dees not care a picaune for the U. P. Company. Whether elected or beaten he can make an honest living. Secondly Mr. Turner is what brother Graves calls a "cab bage patch farmer" and lives on his cabbage patch just out of the Tillage of Columbus. This fact inclines bim to the support of Anti-monopoly prin !,P !!f d M the PIatfonn on whlch I Mr. Torn er accepted the nomination I for Congress has decidedly an anti monopoly ring he may be relied on to stand by bis colors regardless of the pressure of the monopoly organs may bring to bear upon him.

The commi-ion hi appointed a registration from each county in the territory, and a deputy assistant in each voting precinct in the territory will immediately be ap pointed. The commission wa3 re quested by Mormon citizens to decide that the local statute to authorize women to vote be illegal and void. The commission concluded it was not competent on their part to repeal the statutes, as the principles of female suffrage does not conflict with the purpose of the Edmund's law, and therefore declined having anything to do with the subject. It i3 believed that fully 10,000 voters (Mormons, will, under the recent enactment, be deprived of the right of suffrage, and it is believed that the non-Mormon element will cast a larger vote than ever before. The commission believe that by a careful registration an im partial election will follow which will be satisfactory to the government and country. LDEES & H0EFELMAM, DEALERS IK WIND MILLS, AND PUMPS.
