The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union hold a state convention in Omaha, Oct. 9th. The debt of the city of New York is about one-twelfth that of the Uni ted States government. The British navy has forty-two armored ships, ono hundred and twenty-two unarmored, and seventy four torpedo boats. Mns. John Yerga, wifo of a well known Omaha butcher, has eloped with one of her husband's hired men. named Ed. Shaffer. The London Globe, rejoicing over the candidacy of Cloveland, says: "Tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland is a heavy defeat for the Irish." The British gunboat Wasp was wrecked tho othnr day off Tarry Is land, on the west const of Iroland, and fifty-two persons were drowned. Mr. Choshv, of Wakefield, Neb., by accident the other day discharged the contents of his ulitilgiiii in his shoul der and breast. It is thought he will dio. IIicniNs had the luirness last week to spell Patrick Ford's namo with capitals; a small matter, comparative ly, but nevertheless worthy a ref erence. A uic. fire at Pittsburg, Pa., burned the extensive glass works of Abel Smith & Co. covering two acres, to gether with Kobison, Rea & Co's. machino shops and fivo frame houses. Lieut. (Jovernoj: Caunks'.s barn, fivo hundred IhihIh-I.s of oats, harness and a Ihoionghbred bull burned tho other night, on his ranch ten miles north of Central City. Tho origin of tho fire is a mystery. Reports from different points in Italy stato that within tho past twenty four hours 435 fresh cases of cholera bavo occurred and 2G5 deaths. Naples being tho most seriously afflicted, having 251 trcsh cases and 152 deaths. As to the "funny" business, about the extent of the difference between us and Higgins is, that twc know we are not funny, aud Higgins thinks ho is funny. If there is anything amus ing about this wo are uot aware of it, wo look at it as a simple statement of facts. No matter how much may he said to the contrary, the practical contest for the presidency is between Blaine and Cleveland, and citizens inclined to vote for other candidates might do a worse thing than look at the matter as though the decision between these two candidates rested on their one individual vote. CcMlral Committee leetiag. A meeting of the Anti-monopoly State Central Committee will be held at tho Commercial hotel in Lincoln, at 7:30 p. m., on Monday, October 6. A full attendance is earnestly desired. II. M. Wells, Ch'm State Cen. Com. Crete, Neb., Sept. 24. '84. A reception was tendered Bishop Mallalieu at the residence of Dr. Chubbuck, in Tecumseh. A large number of citizens attended, and were presented to the Bishop, who received tbem very kindly. Ho is a middle aged man of fine appearance and easy and affable in his conversa tion. Of Nebraska ho paid, "were I forming a country, Nebraska would bo mj' model." Recent news trora Fort McKinuy, Wyo., says the mangled and lifeless body of Gillie Leigh, member of the British parliament, was found at the base of a precipitous cliff in the Big Horn mountain!-, lie was out there with an English pleasure party and bad left the camp for a stroll aud was not found until eight days afterwards when the search revealed his dead body, ilis remains will be shipped to England. We call attention to Blaine's letter published elsewhere. It is direct, straightforward, candid, earnest, and entirely satisfactory, revealing the light of bis lifo in his great affection for tho partner or his joys and sor rows. Now let the campaign liars find some other story to gather votes with, this one was devised too early in the campaign, aud was not nearly o well plauued as the forged letter Of the Garfield campaign. A KIpple rthe Sarface. The people of Columbus will prob ably waken op after a while to the fact that oar laws against the social evil and gambling are not enforced. We believe that the authorities have for some time known of rooms in town used as resorts for gambling and other illegal purposes, withont making an effort to havo them closed. It is currently reported that several men hare recently lost sums ranging from ISO to $500 at one of these places, and that, although a little quiet since an intimation of the place was made in testimony before the coroner's inquest, it is believed that tho evil work is still being carried on. Is there to be no change ? Are the youth to continue to bo subjected to the temptations and allurements that havo already poisoned for life the blood of many yonng men who might have been an honor to them selves? It costs more to convict one criminal than to educate a boy. Shall we continue to allow, aud uphold officials in allowing, a'state of affairs that is simply quiet outlawry at most times, with an occasional suicide or mysterious de3th or brutal outrage, or loss of hard-earned money, or em bezzlement of money to use in gamb ling to ripple the surface and call a little brief attention to the seething mass of corruption that mainly lies beneath? In a town of 2,500 people, with nine chnrches and we know not bow. many church organizations, and a number of intelligent men of con siderable force of character, what do we amount to by way of holding crime in check, to say nothing of suppressing it ? We are running, al most openly, schools of vice that more than offset the good work of all better citizens, and which are, not gradually, but swiftly and very surely, corrupting the morals of our youth, and lowering the tone of public opinion. It is a time for every man who has a heart to feel, a brain to think or a tongue to speak, to take his stand for the rightand make bis sentiments known and folt. He who would feign think otherwise may be waiting until his own son or brothor blows out hiB brains with a pistol, or some greater outrage of decency and law takes place, sufficiently stronger than has happened to wake him from his lethargy. If wo allow the present state of affairs to continue without protest, wo need not be. surprised at any thing that may happen. Mr. Blaine's route along the en tire length of the Hudson and Mo hawk valleys was one continuous ovation, beiug received by the peoplo with bauds, roaring of cannons and tbo shouts of the multitudes. Unusu al anxiety is manifested among tho people to tusu out everywhere and look upon the next President. Mr. Blaiuo was expected, and did say a few words at nearly every station where the multitudes of people greet ed him ; but at Rochester, N. Y., bo said iu presence of the great audience assembled : "I am sure that no desire to offer a personal compliment to any living man could have brought this vast audience together, and I havo not the vanity to accept itas offered to myself individually. It is rather an expres sion of this great assemblage of peo ple of western New York of- their confidence in those principles which have brought prosperity to our coun try and have builded your own beau titul city as one of the examples aud illustrations of that prosperity. Ap plause. The republican party em bodies in its creed four distinct and important doctrines. First Peace with the whole world. Applause. Second Commercial expansion in every practicable direction. Ap plause. Third The encouragement of every form of American industry. Enthusiastic applause. Fourth Protection to every citizen, native or naturalized, at homo or abroad. Re newed applause. Under these poli cies the republican party strives to conduct tho government ; under these policies the republic party submits itself to the judgment of the Ameri can people. On these principles we conquer, or on these principles we are conquered. I thank you, gentlemen ; I thank you from the bottom of rav heart for whatever in this splendid ovation is peisonal to myself; but I ask your attention with especial em phasis to the importance of those positions to which I have so briefly adverted. To the latest hour of my life I never can forget this brilliant scene, nor can I mistake its wide sig nificance." Enthusiastic and pro longed cheering. . II. Ammidown, doing business in a New York City firm, has recently studied the question of tariff protec tion, ana nas recently been interview ed by a leading journal.. Below ii a brief extract which lets in a good deal of light upon the subject : "The manufacturers of this country would make just as much money, and probably more (if they could have the wages of labor on the same scalo sb in other countries), if there were no tariff at all. In other words, the pro tection afforded by the tariff is purely protective of the American system of wages ana labor, and not for the ben efit of the manufacturer, except as the manuiacturer is benefited indirectly by the prosperity of the whole coun try. There are few among American manufacturers who are to-day making a profit, but the operatives, and those who contribute by their labor directly and indirectly to the cost of manufac tured products, are receiving nearly twice the wages, they formerly re ceived. At the same time the cost of living has been reduced probably 20 per cent within the laBt three years. I have no doubt that a reduction of duty on foreign products which com-j pete with American products would be immediately followed by a corres ponding reduction in the selling price of tho products of our own mills. This selling price would havo to be met by a reduction of labor, or a stoppage of production, if tho latter, a proportion ate amount of labor would be sent into competition with other classes of labor." We were not in attendance at the meeting last week, addressed by Mr. Neville, democratic candidate for con gress, aad Mr. Green. The speech of the former, we learn, was almost ex clusively devoted to the school land business, a matter iu which Mr. N. is engaged as attorney. Mr. Green, we learn, was more lively and general in his remarks, and made quite a good impression as a speaker on those who heard him. He ran against a stump or two such as campaigners once in a while strike. At the outset he stated that any one desiring to ask a ques tion wonld be treated in a gentleman ly way. When he spoke of the Know Nothings, charging Blaine with being a rampant K. N. when he edited a paper, Dan. Condon asked him to name the states that ever caBt elec toral votes for Know Nothing candi dates. Mr. Green said he didn't wish to be drawn aside. When telling the old story about the milk fever in Indiana always being in the next neighborhood, he said that the talk of Irishmen going to vote for Blaine was after the same order. He had never yet in this campaign fonnd a single Irishman who was going to vote for Blaine. At this point an Irishman very promptly said "Here is one" so that Mr. Green will have to modify that story a little. Gen. Logan has brought out won derful large crowds in Ohio wherever he has 6poken. No less than thirty thousand strangers attended the re publican mass meeting at Akron the other day. His long, continuous labor in speaking since the campaign opened has nearly worn the General out, but the people will not excuse him, for at Bellaire the other day, a republican committee invaded the car and carried him bodily to a meeting of 10,000 peo ple, where Alex. Sullivan had been announced to speak, but had failed to appear. rprt. In this department the people talk, and not the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts. "In the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed. Journal. Dannebbog, Neb., Sept. 2otb, '84. Eo. Journal : Seeing that you bavo no regular correspondent in this part of the state, I hope you will not deem this an intrusion on my part, the facts in the case being these: that your contemporary, the Dem ocrat, is continually informing us that tho Irish in Platte county, and in fact the Irish in all parts of this broad state are rallying to the support of Cleveland and Hendricks; in this the Democrat considerably over shoots the mark, for I havo failed in my travels to find one enlightened Irishman that will vote for Cleveland. Of course there are exceptions in this case ; there are some among tho Irish that will vote the Democratic ticket, but that's a habit they have got like every other vice which all mortals are subject to, and of course it I? an utter impossibility to break off all bad habits at once. But if the Republican party make such inroads on the Irish vote during the next four years ax they have done tho past four months, Irishmen will be as scarce in the Democratic rauks ns they are in h i. So, now, fellow Irishmen, of Platte county, don't take in all the chin music that the Democrat chooses to set forth in behalf of tho great Btandard bearer of the Democratic party, take it for what it is worth but no more. Stand by the man that has got tho record of a statesman (not the record of a hangman.) Stand by the man with the sound foreign policy towards England, stand by the man that liberated our fellow countrymen from British dungeons; let us show them at the polls in November a solid Irish vote for James G. Blaine. J. C. Werk for Wemea. Mr. Editor: Much has been written regarding proper and re munerative employment for women, silk culture, poultry raising and trades of various kinds, which have no doubt been very profitable. But there are many ladies who havo no opportunity to raise silk worms or follow any employment of that kind. To that class I wish to open what to me was an entirely new field. Some three month9 ago an uncle of mine from Albany, N. Y., was visiting at our bouse, and we were talking of plated ware, which be was engaged iii manufacturing, and, to gratify my curiosity, he made a plating machine, and re-plated our knives, forks, spoons and castor. It cost only $4, and it did the work perfectly. Some of our neighbors Baw what we had plated, and wanted me to do some plating for them. I have since then worked 22 days and have cleared during that time $95.45, (my brother although he worked two days longer than I did only made 191.500 At al most every house we got from $2, to f A worth of plating to do, and such work is most all profit. This work is pleasant, for both ladies and gentlemen. I am making a large scrap-book to exhibit at different fairs, and to any of your readers who will send me a verse of poetry or prose, I will send them complete directions for making a plating ma chine like mine that will piate gold, silver and nickle.
