The Grand Island Times, along
with the Omaha Republican, is still
repeating the pension lie, maliciously
concocted during the campaign as
coming from M. K. Turner. If yon
must lie, do it at first hand, and with
some show of respectability, so to
speak, with a decent effort at intellec
tual originality, any how.
A riBE at Phelps, Neb., the other

Part of the county records were de
stroyed, the county having rented the

blowing strongly from the north, but
bad it been from tbe west nothing

"Sosiethixg must be done to equal
ize the tariff," remarks the Omaha
Republican, and adds, "the people
will stand a pretty heavy levy on
imports.'' "Protection ample pro
tection to all our manufacturing in
dustries is what we want; not the
protection which will foster a grasp
ing monopoly,' &c, &c The Repub
lican has come to be one of the most
nnreiiable papers in the west, not
only in the distortion of its "alleged"
political news, but also as to the
'alleged" sentiment of the country.
Take the above as a sample, of 'mis
taking its own notion for the popular
belief," so to speak. "Protection,
ample protection to all our manitfac
fcrtnp industries'in the readjustment
of tariff dnties! Why more "protec
tion" to manufacturers, than to agri
culture, pray tell ? Why discriminate
in favor of manufactures and say
nothing of agriculture, the great in
dustry of the country, and more espe
cially of the west? Does the Repub
lican assume or presume to speak for
agricultural Nebraska? The agricul
turists of this state have had some
experience of tbe "benefits" to fee
derived from special "protective" tar
iffs made to "foster" eastern monopo
lists, and. they do not propose to
swallow any dose that may be given
them at lehst not without gagging
when it becomes too nauseous. Tbe
Republican says it is not in favor of
such protection as "will foster a grasp
ing monopoly." It would be interest
ing, perhaps, to know just what the
Repxibli can's present opinion may be
of a monopoly, and after that of a
"grasping" monopoly. Tbe farmers
of Nebraska might then be able to say
whether the opinions of this special
pleader of the monopolists, would be
particularly agreeable to them if put
into congressional enactments. Tbe
Republican, we believe, is ambitious
to be considered the leading "organ"
of the republican party in Nebraska.
If so, it mnst "lead" up to tbe high
plane of "equality before tbe law,"
"rights for the many against privi
leges for the few," no discrimination
in favor of, or against any particular
interest, and quit its masquerading.
We are inclined to tbe opinion that
the town of Madison not very far in
the future will become a place where
a large amount of business will be
transacted. This opinion has been
formed from the character of the peo
ple and the rich and productive farms
they own and cultivate for fifteen or
twenty miles we6t and southwest of
tbe town and it is claimed tbat east a
similar people and similar lands ex
tend for the same distance. No bet
ter crops could be produced from tbe
soil of any country than those which
cover the rich fields this season in a
large scope of country southwest of
Madison. This large territory of
rich agricultural country must of ne
cessity furnish to a clever aud liberal
set of merchants and business in Mad
ison au enormous amount of trade
and business during the year. Near
ly every farmer southwest of Madi
son has hi6 herd of cattle, big crops
aud big hogs. Mr. Jenkins and his
sons living ten or twelve miles out
have a splendid tract of land of about
800 acres, rich with every product
that the soil produces ; aud it is only
one of many others in the same lo
cality that yields their thousands of
dollars iu the same way. These peo
ple since the branch road was built to
Madison have made that a point for
trade and dealing and we see no reas
on why in the future this trade will
not grow and increase if tbe mer
chants and business men of Madison
contribute their best efforts to indnce
it to come.
Electric fit;
The Northern Lights on the even
ing of the 17th produced a grand dis
play of electrical waves of uncommon
strength and surpassing brilliancy.
What was remarkable in this display
of electrical currents was the fact that
it took possession ef the telegraph
wires from New York to Ogden.
During the continuance of the storm
Omaha worked with Chicago, St
Louis and cheyenne without any bat
tery on at either end. They simply
put the wires at each end of tbe line
in the ground with the instruments on
and the earth made the circuit com
plete. At Chicago tbe intensity of
the heat was so great that tbe keys of
the instrument were melted by the
current which continued to pass. The
screws were turned up and parted to
the utmost limit. Our exchanges pro
nounce it the most severe storm of the
kind ever known in the countrv.
Of course work for the next legis
lature is being laid out by the bosses
The sentiments of members elect are
being canvassed, and tbeir probable
action as to speaker of tbe house and
U. S. senator. It is a little early yet
to set down with certainty what will
be done by the various members, but
if tbe people who haTe now done the
voting, wish to be heard further in
the matter they must make tbeir wants
and wishes known in a very unmis
takable manner, and it would be just
as well to bear this in mind continu
ally. Men in public office are gener
ally (as they ought to be) susceptible
to influence from their constituency,
and it now becomes theconstitnenciei
to be on hands, and make of them
selves an advisory board of more or
less influence aud consequence.
Heset Warp Beecheb has been
sued on account of hie failnre to com
plete the second volume of the "Life
of Christ." The case was on trial the
other day before Judge Barrett and
when the plaintiffs testimony was
closed, the counsel for Beecber moved
to dismiss the case upon tbe ground
tbat there was no date fixed for the
closing of the contracts. Judge Bar
rett held that the plaintiff had failed
to make out a case, but he would
grant until the next day for the pro
duction of evidence to show the limi
tation of the contract ; otherwise be
would bare to dismiss the case. N
Herbert Speacer vm Aamerfcji.
Herbert Spencer, who h&s been ex
ceedingly reticent in the presence of
newspaper interviewers since his arrival-in
this country, has given iia im
pressions of America and its iustit u
tions to a personal friend who ha
prepared them for the press. Tli
paper is quite long, aud it ha beei
tevi-ed by Mr. Spencer, it i- an au
thoritative expression ot opinion
J Mr. Spencer praise the extent, ueaiiii
' and magnificence ol the country, bu
! finds much to critisizi. Lie says in
i part: "After pondering what I have
J seen of your vast manufacturing and
trading etablishiueuts, your gigantic
hotels, and Filth avenue paiaces. I
was reminded of the Italian reuuhlifo
jot the middle age, nod rncalled the
fact that, while there was growing up
in tbem great commercial ac:ivit
and development of arts, tbeir peop'e
was losing their freedom. It srem?
to me you are losing freedom You
retain tbe forms ot frefdm; but, so
far as I can gather, (here has bem
much loss of the 6ube.ta.we. It is true
that those who rule you do not do so
by means of armed retainere, but
they do it through regiments of men
armed with voting papers. Tbe po
litical machinejy as it is now worked
has little resemblance to that contem
plated at tbe outset of your political
life. But do not infer, therefore, that
I think republican institutions a fail
ure. I have always considered that
the Americans got their government
by
A HAPPY ACCIDEXT,
not by normal progress, and that
they would have to go back before
they could go forward. Events seem
to justify m view. America iB show
ing on a larger scale thau ever before
'that paper constitutions' will not
work as they are intended to work.
Within the forms of your constitu
tion there has grown up an organiza
tion of professional politicians alto
gether uncontemplated at tbe outset,
which has in a large measure become
the ruling power. The fitnesB of
men for free institutions is dependent
chiefly upon character, aud only in a
secondary degree upon education.
Are not the men who officer and con
trol your federal, state, and munici
pal organizations, who manipulate
your caucuses aud conventions, and
run your partisan campaigns all edu
cated men? Aud haB their education
prevented them from engaging in or
condoning briberies, lobbying, aud
corrupt methods which vitiate the ac
tions of your administration? I
think not. I account for this by the
remoteness of the profit to 'each in
dividual from political purity, citi--zens
not considering it worth their
while to fight against each abuse as it
appears. Free institutions can be
maintained only by citizens each of
whom is instant to oppose every ille
gitimate act, every assumption of su
premacy, every official excess of pow
er, however trivial it may seem. The
Americau pauses to consider whether
he can afford the time and trouble,
and so abuses creep in. All these
lapses from higher to lower forms be-
j gin in trifling wa6, and it is only by
incessant watchfulness that they can
be prevented."
"Is it to be understood that you
think unfavorably of the future of the
United States, Mr. Spencer?"
"No one can form anything more
thau vague and general conclusions
respectiug
the future of the country.
The factors are too numerous. The
world haE never before seeti social
phenomena at all comparable with
those presented iu the United States.
A society spreading over enormous
tracts, while still preserving its polit
ical continuity, is a new thing. This
progressive incorporation of vast
bodies of immigrants of different na
tionalities ha6 never occurred on such
a scale before. No one cau say how
it is all going to work out. Already
you have triumphed over one great
trouble and may reasonably hope to
triumph over others which will doubt
less arise in your history. But I think
that whatever difficulties Americans
may have to surmount, and whatever
tribulations tbey may have to pass
through, they may responBably look
forward to a time when they will
have produced a civilisation grander
than anv the world has known.''
Theee was a terrible ruEh at the i
opening of the land office at Huron, I
Dakota, early la6t month. No Ies I
than 500 attorneys were present and '
when the oflice was opened there was
j u .i. . .u j
such a press and rush that the door
and windows of the office were broken
in their eagerness to file applications
first, that the receiver was compelled
to make the announcement that all
applications would be regarded as
having been filed simultaneously.
Over nine thousand dollars worth of

the prediction of tbe fioothsaers,
