Recent news trora Fort McKinuy,

body, ilis remains will be shipped

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.

The people of Columbus will prob
ably waken op after a while to the
fact that oar laws against the social

We believe that the authorities have

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.

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. Pleaso address,
