Philadelphia has been greatly excited over her polluted water supply. A St. Louis man wants a divorce from his wife because she makes him say "pleaeo." Bisuor Pierce, senior Bishop of the M. E. church south, died at Augusta, Ga., on the 3d. Tkoy, N. Y., manufactures 30,000, 000 linen collars every year, besides 3,300,000 shirts. Tiikhk are not more than two or three women whose wealth is greater than Queen Victoria's. Thk steamer Belmont was sunk during the storm at Evausville, Ind., the other day and fourteen lives wore lost. Mn. Moody's littlo daughter living near West Point, Neb., had her leg cut otl" the other day by a mowing machine. Secketaky Lincoln is ntill de tained at Fortress Monroe by the serious illucKai of his wile's mother, Mrn. Harlan. The Norfolk Xetrs thinks that tho state ticket in tin last one the South Platte will have the pirasuro of nam ing in Hh entirety. The Methodist FpiscopHl church has !7 conforencps in tho United States, and includes 2.",000 clergy and 1,820,000 members. "It . the first dull of' a good gov ernment to protect the rights and 2romote the interests of its otrn jico 2iIe." Republican Platform. "The perpetuity oj our institutions rests upon the maintenance of a free ballot, an honest count and correct returns." Republican Platform. The national debt went down eight and a half millions during August. The Chicago Inter-Ocean says, "An other nail in the Democratic coffin." One hundred and forty-four fresh cases of cholera occurred in Rome the other day in twenty-four hours, and one hundred and twenty-five deaths. Petek Seawouse killed his daugh-in-law the other morning at Slab town, Pa., because 6bc gave him ber ries for breakfast; he then stabbed himself. " Wc believe that evey where the jroteclion to a citizen of American birth must be secured to citizens of American adoption." Republican Platform. M. M. Pomkuoy has started the United States Democrat at New York City, and is doing his level best to make it acceptable to his party friends. The second congressional demo cratic convention held the other day in Concrossman Fiucrty's district, HI., failed to nominate Finorty, but instead, nominated Frauk Lawler. The democratic state ticket of Ar kansas was elected by a large major it'. Most of the republicans voted against the amendment repudiating $11,000 railroad aid and levee bonds. Mks. Elizaketii C. Stanton cast her first vote at a school election at Johnstown, N. Y., on the 1st, and had the pleasure of knowing that her lady candidate was elected school trustee. One case of yellow lever was dis covered in New York last week in the person of an unknown sailor, who was taken to the hospital and died. This is the first and onlv case in New York. A family at Baltimore, Md., were taken with cramps and vomiting the other day alter eating sardines, anil two children will not survive. They were poisoned by the tin covering tho sardines. A an of burglar on Slnteu Is land recently appointed two of tho number to serenade tho inmates of a well-furnished house, whilo the oth ers broke in at the back and robbed the premises. THE third annual exposition, under ibc aaspices of the Deuvet chamber of commerce, was tormally openeil .oil the 1st -of September, '84. The city was crowded with visitors from all parts of tho Stat and the eur jronnding Territories. The maddest man in tho country Is Shoemaker of the IndjanapoliB Senti nel. He recently applied to the chair man of the democratic committee in his state for some "moral support" in the libel suit that Mr. Blaine has commenced against him for the insult to his wife. The chairman answered him as follows through a mutual friend : "I feel like opening the cam paign purse and telling him to heip himself. Bat I restrain myself. The campaign funds muBt be protected and my dear friend Shoemaker, I fear, must fight it out alone." Shoemaker responds with more fire than grammar. He declares that "In a wider and moral sense the game was one of the democratic party." "Thus viowed, the Sentinel has the right to expect the moral support of democrats." "Does Mr. Henderson represent the committee when throw ing cold water on the Sentinel's polit ical fight with the republican candi dates in the courts?" If so, he say6 that he appeals to the party at large against such "cowardly and unworthy conduct." Mr. Shoemaker will probably mae his appeal in vain. It is true that the democratic committee stood in the breach nobly with all the funds that were necessary when the Moroy for gery was in need of "moral support." But the Morey forgery was sent out at a time when it could do some good. It was only a week before tho elec tion, and the astute Mr. Barnum and the eccentric Mr. Hewitt felt in their bones that the time was too short to hunt down tho man who did it, and if Hancock was elected it was all right, and no amouut of prosecution of such tools as Hadley would affect tho result. But in this case tho Sentinel fired off valuable ammunition before the committee was ready. It wasted tho best lie that had been concocted. It destroyed at ono blow the work of the chisel that defaced tho tombstone of the firstborn of the Blaine house hold. It gave Mr. Blaine more than sixty days to show up tho falsehood in tho courts. Instead of doing the democrats any good it has done them appreciablo harm Hence the Senti ncl must fight it through alone." When its editor knows more, as ho will by the time the court gets through with him, he will not bo too previous in exploding the democratic dynamite. As it is ho has made a very bad mess of it. State Journal. There is no longer room to ques tion that members of the Greely Arctic expedition wero compelled to cat tho llesh of their dead comrades in order to prolong their own lives. Men brought up uuder the influences of civilized lifo must bo very near to tho starvation point before they would think of doing a thing so revolting to all finer feelings ot humanity. You and 1, kind reader, who sutler none of the cravings or hunger, are almost unqualified to speak. We think that no necessity could bring us to this. Ben Franklin is credited with saying, after a few days abstinence from meal, and beiug converted to his old way of thinking on observing big fish eat ing the little ones, '"How convenient a thing it is that man is a reasoning creature, because hecau either find or make a reason for anything he may wish to do." The divino spirit in man must bo developed to a pheno menal degree in order that conscience may have the strength to hold down the knawiuga ot hunger, and it is safe to say that nearly every man would do the same thing under like circum stances. "When a man thinks a newspaper article amounts to nothing he gener ally pays no attention to it whatever. Tho last Democrat occupies about a quarter of a column space to set forth its unbounded contempt for Mr. Mc Hugh's open letter to Irishmen, print ed in last week's Joukkal. If Mc Hugh's letter is nothing, and this paragraph is "much ado about noth ing," the only substantial part intend ed to attract attention is the "thunder bolt burled forth by the vigorous Nebraska arm of Dan Condon." Is the Democrat tryiug to make light of Condon? If not, why does it not give Dan the benefit of knowing which one of his numerous shafts of lightning has struck home, and may fitly be called "the thunderbolt?" Hendricks, Logau and Butler have entered the campaign and all made speeches. They have presented the strongest points perhapB in contro versy between the three political divisions. For political information wc recommend to onr readers a thor ough examination of those speeches and Blaine's letter of acceptance, as they will impart more information on the political issues for the cost and amount of reading than any other three documents now published, as they can be read together and the evidence selected readily, detecting anj- dodging or squirming of cither party on any of the questions at issue, especially the question of tariff or freo trade. Miss Alice McCiban, of Harrison county, Ohio, was engaged to a young gentleman named Nash, a resident of the neighborhood and both highly esteemed. Having called to see her the other evening and when about to leave her he made the unguarded re mark that he had concluded to sever their relations, and in the futnre there could he nothing botween them but friendship. Sho was so affected that she 6auk down into a spasm that con tinned uutil her death, in thirty-six bourn, during the whole of which timo she was unconscious, and at times required three men lo hold her. T. C. Mills was granted a private interview the other day with Miss Carrie "White, at Muskegon, Mich., aud immediately opened fire on her, sending a ball into her left side, in- fiicting a mortal wound. Jealousy prompted the crime. Chiaa. News from Hong Kong says Ad miral Courbet announces that he has completed operations in the Min river and it is now safe for merchants to ascend to Foo Chow. Merchants at Hamburg engaged in trade with China have decided to petition Prince Bismarck asking him to use his influence with France to prevent the blockade of treaty ports. Late news from Paris says the re port that China had finally declared war against France is without foun dation. Fiye hundred French troops have been ordered from Cochin, China, to Kelung. A private dispatch to London from Tien Tsin says China is not disheart ened. The government has issued an edict encouraging troops to fight and warning local authorities everywhere to protect non-combatant Frenchmen. Bishop Si-atjlding says that not only are American politics immoral, but that the evidence of general moral decadence stares us in the face. The Bishops with all other good citizens should use their influence to bring about a more faithful execution of the laws city, state and national, and many years would not intervene until the general moral decadence would cease to stare good people in (he face. The certain and faithful execution of the laws would soon banish frauds in elections, revolver ami shot-gun policy and lessen crime and immorality in American politics. Citizenship of the republic must be tho panoply and safeguard of him who wears it. The American citizen, rich or poor, nativo or naturalized, white or colored, must everywhere walk secure in his personal and civil rights. The republic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never as sume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who owes it loy alty protection at home, and protec tion which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go npon a lawful errand. James G. Blaine. Wm. Leese, the nominee on the republican stato ticket for attorney general of Nebraska, was serenaded the other evening at his home at Seward, by a very largo number of citizens. Mr. Lccsc was called for and rosponded in a good speech. Speeches were made by Ex-Lieu-tcnanl Governor Cams, Judge T. L. Norval, Hon. D. C. McKillip, F. G. Simmons, editor of the Nebraska Jtepurtcr, and other leading citizens. JuixiE Woods, of the United States district court, has overruled the do murrcr tiled by the defense in the aiQ-Sentinel libel suit. Tho Sen tinel will file its answer right away but claims it will' be impossible to be ready for trial before November, for the reason that most of the witnesses live at a distauco from Indianapolis and a great deal of work will be "re quired in taking depositions. A nr.roKT comes trom Cambridge, Ohio, that a recent wreck on the Cleveland & Marietta road occurred ne.tr Kimblcton. Expross ir.csHeiiger Negbarger was killed and W. W. Wheeler, a passenger, fatally hurt. Engineer Decker and fireman wero badly injured. Misunderstanding of orders from the conductor to the brakemau was the causo of tho acciJcnt. ''The jtrinciple of the public, regula tion of railway corporations is a wise and salutary one for the protection of all classes of people, and ice favor legislation that shall jn'eccnt unjust discrimination and excessive charges for transportation, and that shall secure to the people and lo the rail ways alike the fair aiul equal protec tion of the laics." Republican Plat form. The west Nebraska Mission confer ence convened at Kearney on the 3d, Bishop Wilbur Fish Mallalicu, of Boston, presiding. All parts of tho conference territory was represented. Prominent men in attendance were Doctor Frye, editor of the Central Christian Advocate, Elders Thos. B. Lemon, of Kearney ; Gallagher, of Hastings ; Miller, of York college. Hon. H. H. Shkdd, republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor, was visited at bis home the other evening by five hundred citizens, headed by tho Ashland cornet band, to extend congratulations over his nomination. Hon. A. B. Fuller spoke in behalf of the citizens, and Mr. Shedd replied in an able and happy manner. William II. Downie, a member of the board of trade at Chicago was found dead tho other night at hi6 residenco with a bullet hole in his left temple. His brother Charles J. Downie is charged with the fratricide and has been arrested by the police who found on his person a revolver with one chamber empty. The mayor ot "my city," Vaughn of Council Bluffs, is yet to seek, and supposed to be in New York city negotiating Council Blulfs bonds for less than they aro worth. Vaughan was a slipper' character, whom the people of the Bluffs picked up on very short notice. The other morning at Orleans, Neb., the body of a female baby was found at the bottom of a well in the rear of the Orleans House. The ap pcarauces iudicated that it had been murdered at birth. A warraut has been issued for the arrest of tho sup posed murderess. The other night the cash drawer of tho B. & M. was broken iuto at Ne braska City and robbed of 04. Peter King has siuce been arrested at Table Rock on suspicion. All tho money except a few cents was found on his person by Sheriff Leining who arrest ed him. Edwakd Mason and Charles Park, tho two young men who recently rob bed Post's bank at St. Paul, of .u',Q00 iu money, which was all recovered except $150. They were captured by detective at Monica, Wis., near Pelican Lake. Secketaky of the treasury Folgcr died at his home in Geueva, N. Y.,ou the evening of the 4lh, at 4:55. He died from the effects of overwork. He will be interred in Geneva ceme tery by the side of his wife, who died seven years ago. It is said by Gath that "when Judge David Davis went to Illinois, every member of the bar both drank and gambled. He made up his mind to do neither." He has buried them all, has a young wife and weighs 240 pounds. Miss Maggie Rathbux, of Mid dleport, Ohio, whilo buggy-riding with A. E. Benedict, a druggist, is reported by him to have lett the buggy and shot herself with a re volver. Benedict has sinco been arrested. James C.
