It is said the trick in Kansas to
evade the liquor law is, to have an
obscure room slocked with drink and
give keys to all customers. They
enter at pleasure, get their drink,
and deposit the cash in a box. No
one iB seen to receive the money, and
hence the great difficulty of convic
tion. In a suit for breach of promise
tried the other day in England, the
defendant's counsel asked the fair
plaintiff: "Did my client enter into
a positive agreement to marry you?"
"Well, not exactly," she replied, "but
he courted me a good deal, and told
my sister he intended to marry into
our family."

amount received by those who have
lost a leg at the hip-joint.
About 10,000 bills and resolutions
were introduced during the last
session of congress, and it is said that
only 170 became laws. Law making
under the rules adopted by congress
to govern its action is about the
slowest business transacted1 in anv
department of the government, and
should undergo a change in this gay
of intelligence and raason.
Blaise am the Irish.
There is nothing transpires in this
world of design that has not an ade
quate cause. The domain of politics
is no exception to this general rulo.
Ever since Blaine and Logan's nomi
nation there has been an increasing
accession of Irishmen who will sup
port the ticket, and many old-time
politicians who have considered that
nationality in this country as solidly
democratic, in any event, are opening
their eyes to the situation. We only
reiterate what is in everybody's
mouth when we say that Blaine is an
intense American citizen, meaning by
that that he prefers the welfare of
bis country above that of every other,
and this sentiment is uppermost with
the thousands of foreign-born citizens
who have adopted this country and
this government and chosen this as
their home above all other countries.
Patriotism is a most noble virtue,
and the ardent Irish nature has shown
its intense love for this country on
many a battle field. Men of all par
ties are bound to admire patriotic
feeling, whenever and wherever man
ifested, whether on the platform in
the advocacy of rights, in the halls of
legislation in furtherance of the pub
lic welfare, or in the discharge of
duty as public officials. The foreign
born citizen who has come to this
country from choice, come to better
his condition and provide for the
future of his children, come to enjoy
with us tho blessings of civil and
religious liberty, knows that he has
exactly the same rights as tho native
born citizen, and feels the same in
terest in national matters, with this
added, that he desires, naturally, that
the country of his adoption Bball in
all things justify his choice.
Blaine has always shown an inde
pendent mind, a patriotic spirit, rear
ed in the Henry Clay school of
statesmen who believe in America,
against tho world if necessary ; in tho
development of our vast natural re
sources to our own advantage and
advancement; to this end, in the pro
tection of every branch of American
industry as against the adverso in
terests of foreign countries; in the
expression of heartfelt sympathy with
struggling humanity wherever trod
deu under foot by despotic govern
ment or by grinding custom. Such
is Blaine, and such is the party of
which ho is the standard bearer in
this campaign, and this is a partial
explanation of what is set forth in
the following from the Dublin Tree
man: "Blaine has been always a steady
champion of the Irish, aud what is
nearly as good a stout opponent of
HriliBn interests. His conduct, es
pecially in 1867-68, will be long and
gratefully remembered by Irishmen.
When, in 1877, Augustus Costello was
arrested in Ireland for a 'treasonable'
speech delivered by him in New York
two years previously, and sentenced
to fifteen years penal servitude,
Blaine, who was a Republican leader
in congress, made a series of power
ful speeches in his behalf aud in
behalf of Gen. D. B. Burke and oth
ers, which eventually succeeded in
securing their liberation. The Irish
men had their papers of American
citizenship in their possession, but
they were disregarded as a defense,
or as a protection against British law,
and this aroused much excitement
and indignation in the states. Blaine's
advocacy induced congress to demand
the release of the Fenians from Eng
lish custody, and when the British
cabinet refused, on the strength of
the then existing treaty, the United
States government threatened repri
sals with respect to British subjects
then in the states. England, being
well frightened, caved in, as became
her, and Costollo, Burke, and the rest
were released. The triumph was
mainly due to tho masterly advocacy
of Blaine, and the leaning he then
showed toward Irishmen has not
since relaxed. Should the decision
of the autumn election rest upon
Blaine, we may he sure that the states
will be governed" during the next
four years by a genuine friend of the
Irish cause."
The Democracy.
The national convention of the dem
ocratic party met at Chicago Tuesday
of last week and was called to order
by Chairman Barnum of the centra
committee. Hubbard of Texas was
selected as temporary chairman.
Tho first victory for the Cleveland
forces was a holding to the tradi
tional two-thirds rule of the party,
against tho effort of Tammany to have
it put aside.
Col. W. F. Vilas of Wisconsin was
selected as permanent chairman.
Tho names placed in nomination
were Bayard, McDonald, Thurman,
Carlisle, Cleveland, Hoadly, Randall
and Hendricks.
The platform was then adopted, a
very lengthy document.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot, the first resulting as follows :
Cleveland 310 I Bayard 171
Thurman 89 I Randall 80
McDonald 50 Carlisle 27
On the second ballot which was
taken Friday morning Cleveland was
nominated, the recorded vote stand
ing: Cleveland 083
Hendricks 464
McDonald 2
Bayard SI
Thurman 4

On reassembling in the afternoon

nated as vice president.
The Congressional Record of June
23d, contains some Interesting read
ing from Senator Van Wyck in re
gard to the relations of tho govern
ment with the Pacific railroads.
Every man who desires to be posted
on current events should get a copy
and give it a careful reading. Our
senior Senator has represented Ne
braska sentiment admirably on this
and other subjects upon which ho has
spoken in the United States senate,
and it illy becomes such newspapers
as the Omaha Republican and the
Lincoln Journal to be continually, in
season and out, on any and every
occasion, vilifying the able senator.
The only-adequate reason imaginable
for their conduct that we can think
of is that the Senator utters, utters
strongly and endeavors to have
executed the will of the people con
cerning the railroads.

The honor of laying the corner
stone of the Fremont Normal and
Business College, on the Fourth of
July, was accorded to the Odd
Fellows ; and it must be said that the
Order performed the ceremony in a
very brilliant and imposing manner.
Many of their highest dignitaries in
this part of the country woro presont,
including H. J. Hudson, Grand Mas
ter for Nebraska, Samuel McCIay,
Grand Treasurer, D. A. Cline, of
Lincoln, Grand Secretary, and Arthur
Gibson, Grand Warden. All these
were in full regalia. The grand
ritual was followed in all its most
impressive details, and the universal
voice of the multitude in attendance
was, "well done !"
One side of the corner stone bears
the inscription, "Founded by the
citizens of Fremont;" the other "This
stone was laid July 4th, 1884."
In-as-much as the contractor is
under heavy bonds to have tho Col
lego completed in time for the fall
term to begin, Oct. 2Lat, he would
not delay the work for this ceremony
on tho Fourth, so, a the walls of the
main building are up in places to tho
floor of tho third story, the corner
stone was laid on the north-east
corner of tho cast projection. The
above engraving shows the main
exterior features of the building, but
is on too small a scale to present the
finer details, such as the belting
courses, ornamental hoods over
chapel entrances, porticos over main
entrance, cornice, and tower finish.
These details as well as the general
plan reflect great credit on tho
Omaha architect, who has so ad
mirably adapted tho building to its
purpose
Its extreme ground dimensions
east aud west are ab .it 75 feet, and
north aud south, nearly 60 feet. The
building will be throe stories in
height, tho tower will contain four
stories and its extreme height will be
nearly 80 feot. There will bo four
teen rooms devoted to lecture and
recitation purposes, art and music,
besides the principal's rooms, and
double parlors. Tin; furniture and
apparatus of the new institution are
to be of the best desci iptions for the
use intended.
Convention Note.
The Randall folks were well pleased
with Cleveland, who was their
second choice.
The physical disability of Tildeu,
made the ticket this time Cleveland
and Hendricks.
The gloomiest man was Henry
Watterson, the head of tho McDonald
boom, who was badly "left."
Senator Grady said that Tammany
would not bolt, for they were Demo
crats, but they might not work hard
for success.
Tammany was not pleased with the
result. Kelly says that had he not
feared that Cleveland could not carry
New York he should not have
opposed his nomination.
Cleveland is undoubtedly Tildeu's
candidate for the party, aud tho old
man's management of the nominating
campaign has been very shrewd, his
letter of declination being timed to
suit Cleveland's success.
The Pacific coast is not happy, tho
Californiaus wanting Thurman, aud
being very enthusiastic for him. The
anti-monopoly element of the party
generally arc not feeling highly
pleased with Cleveland, but would
have been overwhelmed with joy by
the nomination of Thurman.
The Chicago Herald thinks that
Cleveland was very fortunate in hav
ing Tammany Hali as an enemy,
saying that if tho dissatisfaction of
tho working and Irish people of New
York with Cleveland had presented
itself on its own bottom, naturally
and honestly, that gentleman could
never have been nominated; that
Tammany was made tho scapegoat
for all his shortcomings, tho conven
tion suspecting that Cleveland's un
popularity and non-availibility were
largely manufactured for the occasion
by Tammany.
The republican central congres
sional committee met at Fremont on
the 9th, with twenty-five counties
represented, B. R. Cowdery being
present from Platte. Chairman Tiffa
ny of Boone called tho committco to
order and C. C. Robison of Howard
was elected secretary. The congres
sional convention was called for
August 20tb, to meet at Columbus at
4 o'clock p. in. Columbus was se
lected by a unanimous vote, on mo
tion of J. O. West of Hall count)',
and doubtless tho fact is mainly due
to tho efforts of our committeeman,
Mr. Cowdery. This will be a large
and interesting convention, repre
senting, as it does, nearly the whole
north Platte country.
Hekby Richards, one of the
leading citizens of tho county, is au
Irishman, and has heretofore been a
democrat. In a conversation on
Saturday he stated that he should
this fall vote for Blaine and Logan.
Ho also said that numerous others of
the Irish citizens of Dixon county
wonld do the s imc. Their views are
like those which Hon. John Brennan
expressed in a recent letter to the
Western Celt. Ponca Journal
Fkemoxt, Neb., was visited on the
morning of the 3d by a hard wind
storm, which blew down many small
buildings and demolished 'some
others. Fences were blown down or"
mashed by falling limbs of trees,
chimneys blown down, lightning
rods twisted from their places,
windows blown in and shutters torn
from their binges and scattered. The
court house was unroofed, the walls
partly falling in, and it is almost a
complete wreck. The now part of
Eno's hotel was uuroofed aud part nf
the south wall blown down.
A tkkkihle storm struck Sioux
City, la., on the evening of the 4th,
scattering small buildings and raising
oue larsre brick building from its
foundation ; other largo buildings
wero blown over and destroyed. The
Catholic bell tower was blown down
and the walls of the church badly
damaged, so as to mako the building
unsafe. Many trees went down and
the streets were filled with brauches.
Tho most damage was done in the
southeastern suburbs, where the
plow factory, a large brick building,
was entirely destroyed.
It is now reported that tho cholera
has passed from France to Germany,
having made its appearance at Con
stance, in the duchy of Baden. It is
predicted by Dr. Koch, an eminent
German physician, that the prospect
of the spread of the disease all over
Europe was hourly more certain, and
that perhaps it would ultimately
reach America. The reason assigned
for the latter statement is found in
the fact that London is crowded with
Americans who have been frightened
out of France, aud will soon return
home.
The gentlemanly editor of the Nor
folk Journal calls those republicans
who don't like Church Howe "Ne
braska dogs," and advises them to
"get back into their kennels." Tho
