Crimes a.d Criminal.
Evidence accumulates on every
hand of the great increase of crime,
with a shade of more horror in some
of its details than usual. Without
any question, it is a subject which is
worthy the consideration of the best
minds iu society bow it can be check
ed or suppressed. We all believe
that a moral training, which fixes a
well-defined purpose in the mind, to
respect every right of all citizens and
rigidly enforce it npon all our actions,
would greatly lessen wrong, and
ought to reduce crime. In this par
ticular direction a large class of the
criminals of the land appear to have
received no training, no education,
and the more horrible the crime and
the least regard for the rights of oth
ers, the more joy apparently brings
to the criminal. In the most of crimes
reported there appears to be in the
mind of the criminal, a total absence
of the principle of right, aud only ihc
thought of how will I conceal my
deed and escape detection. They
never think that the person who com
mits murder has " no eternal life
abiding in him." We believe the ev
idence brought to light in practical
life fully sustains the above sentiment,
developed in the life of every criminal
who has made confession of having
committed murder or other horrible
crimes, and lived afterward to drag
out a miserable and wretched life on
earth, with "no eternal life abiding
in him."
Wo may be in error, but we cannot
CBcape the conviction that the moral
as well as the school education of our
criminals has almost entirely been
neglected in the simple principle of
sacredly respecting aud studiously
guarding, and it necessary, even pro
tecting the rights of others. The
simple declaration "to do to others as
you would wish they should do to
you" includes what is absolutely nec
essary to learn, impress upou the
mind, and invariably practice in all
the departments of active life.
The next defect in our system is the
fearful failuro to execute promptly
the provisions of a violated law. The
defect exists both with the officers
who are elected or appointed to en
force the laws, and in the public sen
timent which is lax, dilatory and
neglectful. It cannot be doubted that
if the men and women of our country
could bo controlled in life by a proper
moral and sensible-training and edu
cation, crime would measurably de
crease, and there would bo less com
plaint about the law not being faith
fully executed, but until such educa
tion prevails we must in a great
measure depend upon the faithful
execution of the laws. Officers who
have the execution of the laws in
their bands should do ail in their
power to see to it that every offender
is punished strictly according to law
and that no one escapes. The law
should be the supreme rule.

We can only refer briefly in the
Journal to the most important bills
introduced, as their number exceed
our limits. Our readers may have
some knowledge of the multiplicity
of bills introduced when we state that
on the 10th and 11th one thousand
and twenty-one were presented for
consideration.
Gov. Murray, of Utah, estimates
that of the 150,000 people in that ter
ritory 110,000 are Mormons. He be
lieves there is now danger of what
will be virtually a polygamic empire
in the far west. No danger, Govern
or. The citizens at large of the Uni
ted States still claim jurisdiction over
the territories and they will get ready
one of these days to enforce the law
against bigamy, and then polygamy
must disappear with its execution ;
we hope its advocates will have the
good sense to peaceably submit to its
execution, without the shedding of
blood.
A Saunders county farmer, who
got too much liquor and drove his
team into the Platte river and lost
horses, wagon and harness, has sued
the saloon keepers of North Bend for
the value of his team and wagon.
A remarkable bird story is related
by Thomas Prince, of Carson River,
Nev. A pair of robins built a nest on
a fence near his house, and in a bush
not far away a pair of catbirds had
their home. The young iu both nests
were hatched about the same time;
but after several days the catbirds
were seen no more, having probably
been 6hot by boys. The young cat
birds were evidently starving. When
the robins came with a worm or
beetle for their young, they always
alighted on the top rail of the fence
before hopping down to their nests.
Every time when a robin thus alight
ed the little catbirds opened their
mouths, thrust up their heads and
made an outcry. They were begging
to the best of their ability for food.
The robins appeared to understand
the appeal, and began feeding the
hungry little catbirds. They did not
do what they had undertaken by
halves. Every evening the female
robiu sat on her own nest and warm
ed her young, while the male robin
took the nest of the catbirds. In this
way both broods were reared, the
little orphans growing up as strong
and lively as though they had been
cared for by their own parents.
Chicago captures the republican
national couvention, which will be
held June 3, '84. The committee
adopted unanimously the following
resolution, offered by Mr. Chaudlcr:
Resolved, That this committee views
with regret and indignation the re
cent attempts to suppress human
rights, destroy free suffrage and
honest counting of ballots in the va
rious states by methods of war on
humanity and civilization, and against
the prevalence of such methods the
republican party stands irrevocably
pledged, and wo extend our sympathy
to all sufferers by such inhumanities,
and pledge our earnest and uncondi
tional co-operation and right hand of
fellowship to all men and all organi
zations, whatever may have been their
past political action, who now unre
servedly commit themselves to or
ganized efforts to secure free educa
tion, free suffrage, and protection of
life and property for all citizens
without regard to race, color, political
opinion or votes.
The committee then adjourned to
meet at the Grand Pacific hotel, Chi
cago, May 31, "81.
The following paragraph reminds
us of the truth of Emerson's historic
proposition, that all phases of pro
gress in civilization are represented
somewhere, iu the actual present.
For centuries, the only use for a horse
with a broken leg was to shoot him
"too much trouble to wait on nature
to cure," "put him out of misery," and
like expressions of good will. The
human family (many of them) have
come up through many gradations,
but this incident befits darker ages
than this: "In Nevada county, Cali
fornia, old Otto Anderson died. Tho
neighbors went with a hearse to bury
him, taking Mrs. Anderson on the
seat with the driver. On the way to
the grave the driver and the bearers
stopped to get a drink, Mrs. Auder
son remaining on the hearse. The
horse then took fright aud ran away,
throwing the old lady off, aud injur
ing her so, the local paper 6ays, 'she
had to be shot.' "
Not long ago Miss Mary Lemmon,
of Milleraburg, Ohio, was stricken
with paralysis aud survived but a few
hours. She was engaged to a young
man named John Arnald. She re
quested to see him before sho died,
and he was sent for and came to the
bedside of his intended, and, although
not permitted to carry out the mar
riage contract entered into by them,
the young man placed upon the fiuger
of the dying girl a wedding-ring, at
which she exclaimed : "I will carry
that with me to the grave, and you
will como soon, too." The strange
part of the story is found in the fact
that young Arnold was stricken with
paralysis a few days afterwards and
died, and his funeral took place at the
same hour on which that of his affi
anced occurred one week before. He
had been in apparent good health
until shortly after eating his break
fast the morning he was stricken
down.
The Mount Hickory rolling mills at
Erie, Pa., were burned the other
morning. The machinery in the mills
was worth $200,000 and tho stock on
hand about $S0,000. By this fire two
hundred men are thrown out of em
ployment, just at the beginning of
winter, with no apparent meaus to
Bupport their families. What appears
strange on tho same day the Ohio
Uuion rolling mill was mostly des
troyed by fire. Loss on the building
$20,000, and on the machinery proba
bly $00,000. On tho same day at
Brockport, Mass., the Anuisquilia
mill burned. Loss $40,000.
At Milwaukco recently about sev
enteen incendiary fires of the month
past have been traced by the police
to Bennie West, Joe Moffitt, Finch
and Miller, four boys about 13 years
of age, sons of respectable residents
of the ward where the fires occurred,
and the boys have been arrested.
They had formed a "Buffalo Bill" or
ganization and had a pirates' deu
where they kept dime novels, guns
and lassos, and from which they made
raids on the pantries of well-to-do
neighbors. Young Finch has con
fessed everything.
Five mounted men the other night
raided the town of Bisbee, Arizona,
and killed J. C. Tapplner, J. A. Nol
ley and D. A. Smith, and wounded
Mrs. Roberts. They robbed Casten

was accomplished so rapidly that no
attempt was made at defense. The
robbers fled in the direction of
Sonora.
The Omaha Republican thinks
President Arthur "appears to know
nothing in particular" of the railroad
question. The man who expresses
any opinion against the orders that
the Republican has received from its
railroad bosses, is a fool and a knave,
as e matter of course.
Tiie news from Cairo says that a
great forco of the hill tribes attacked

tured. The total loss was 6S0 men.

Recent news from Lincoln, 111.,
says the man who was arrested at
Peoria, charged with concealing evi
dence in the Zora Burns case, under
the name of J. W. Huuter, appears
not to be that person, but a man nam
ed Vance, from near Decature, who is
geuerally understood to be a crank
with spiritualistic notions. Lincoln
folks place little importance on the
arrest. It is believed by mauy that
the real Huuter knows where the
missing wearing apparel of the mur
dered girl is concealed.

The appointment of Hon. F. G.
Hamer, of Buffalo county, to fill the
vacancy on the bench of the Tenth
judicial district caused by the death
of Judge Savidge, was not unexpect
ed and will give general satisfaction
in the district. Judge Hamer com
menced his career at the bar in this

profession has been gratifying to his
numerous friends in Lincoln. He is
in every way qualified for the honor
able and responsible position. Lin

SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, CATARRH KIDNEY
AND BLADDER, AND WELL AS ALL CHRONIC AND NEK-
VOLTS DISEASES,.
DR. FISHBLATT
Has discovered the greatest cure iu the world for weakness of the back aud limbs,
involuntary discharges, lpaii- , general debility, uervoiisnea, languor, confui
ion of ideas, palpitation f the heart, timidity, trembling, dimness of sight or giddi
ness, diseases of the head, throat, nose or skin, atlectious of the lier, lungs, stom
ach or bowels those terrible disorders arising from solitary habitc ot vouth, and
secret practices more fatal to the victims than tbe soiii: ot Syreni to tbe mariners of
Ulysses, blighting their most radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible.
Those that are sutl'ering from the evil practices, which destroy their mental aud
physical systems causing
NERVOUS DEBILITY,
the symptoms of which are a dull, distressed mind, which untits them from perform
ing their business and social duties, makes happy marriage impossible, digresses
the action of tbe heart, causing flushes of heat, depression of spirits, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness forgettulness, unnatural
discharges, pain in the back and hips, short breathing, melancholy, tire easily of
company and have preference to be alone, feeling as tired in the morning as when
retiring, seminal weakness, lost manhood, white bone deposit in the urine, nervnu.
ness, confusion or thought, trembling, watery and weak eyes, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, paleness, pain aud weakness iu the limbs, etc., should consult me immediately
and be restored to perfect health.
YOUNG MEN
Who have become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise entrance listening se uators with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to ecstacy tho living lyre, may call with
full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of physical
weakness, loss of procreative power, impotency, or any other disqualification Speed
ily relieved. He who places himself under the rare or Dr. Fishblatt may reli"iously
con tide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a
physician.
ORG ANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing affliction which ren
ders lire a burden and marriage impossible, is the penalty paid by the victim Tor
improper indulgence. Young people are apt to commit excesses from not bein"
aware or the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understand
this subject will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper
habits than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of hcalthv off
springs, the most serious and -destructive symptoms of both mind and body arise
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss or
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart indi
gestion, constitutional debility, wasting of the frame, cough, consumption and death.
A CURE WARRANTED.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned pretenders who keep them tritlinir month
