Last week the imports of dry
goods at Now York amounted to $2,
324,000. A fike recently broke out in the
Heel a mine, Mich., seven hundred
feet beneath the surface. John Ray
son and Tbos. Grusblo were suf

reached.
The custom house examiner at
Now York the other day seized
forty-one diamonds found in mails of
the steamer Brittanic. The right and

be smuggling by mail.
C. E. Dine, a one armed soldier,
who has lived in Lincoln for four

of the house of representatives for

G. W. Doksev, the republican can
didate for congress in this district, is
meeting with fine success in his can
vass and public speaking in the Elk
horn Valley, aud is greeted with
largo and enthusiastic meetings at all
his appoiutments. He is a very
pleasant, earnest, candid and agree
able speaker and interests his audi

Rev. Ball, a highly esteemed
citizen of Buffalo, is still presenting
and pressing the moral issue in the
present presidential campaign. His
statements arc fcartul when de
scribing the libertine and artful se
ducer, and the disgraced aud broken
hearted victims of his lust now slum
bering in the grave, aro statements
hard to believe, but appear to be
backed and sustained by the indis
putable evidence given by the Rev.
Ball.
In central Ohio a severe drouth has
done much damage to the farmers
aud stock misers. Pastures arc dried
up, and stociC water is very scarco;
nearly every farmer has to feed and
drive to water. Corn will not be
more than half a crop. It is thought
that many farmers will feed up their
crop of hay and corn before January,
unless they sell oil' their stock. In
tho eastern part of tho state the
drouth has been a bad, if not worse,
and to give to it a more saddened
feature, grasshoppers arc eating up
what the drouth has left. Wheat is
plenty and selling at scventy-fivu
cents a bushel. Many farmers will
be compelled to feed their wheat to
hogs, as they cannot buy corn.
Mark M. Pomeuov has recently
been indicted by the Grand Jury of
Denver, but the specific charges have
not yet been made known. Pomeroy
is now in New York engaged in the
publication of a paper, and can only
be arrested on the requisition of tho
Governor of Colorado. We learn
that Governor Grant has issued the
necessary requisition, and that all
proper papers arc iu the hands of the
lawful officer for hi6 arrest aud re
turn to Colorado. The trouble, we
guess, grows out of an $8,000 bill for
printing which "Brick" probably
secured out of the funds of the Com
pany which has had him indicted.
''Brick" has heard of thc matter and
says he will be' as safe in their hands

Gambling.
"Topics" of the Slate Journal says
the gambling evil has never been so
strong and unblushing as now. As to
the character of this great social vice,
it is as bad as the worst. It is as
potent for evil aB drinking and pros

"Anonymous attacks upon the

no answer to its demand that gamb

do not clothe the tattered children or

Al. Bird, an insurance agent from
Cedar Rapids, visited the scene on
Monday, and delivered to Furnival,
at his residence, an insurance policy.
Furnival , stated to Bird that "Mair
had gone to Fullerton, with Percival,"
which statement was false, and, con
trary to his habit, In- did not invite
Bird into the house.
Furnival expected Ed. Clark on
Tuesday to get a mower, and wrote a
note on tho back of a novel, saying
"You can take the mower aud wel
come, but beware the tongue. Betsy
(a nickname for Mair, his partner)
and I'm going after a deer. Yours,
G. F."
Judge Magoon of Fullerton says
that on Tuesday morning he saw a
man dressed in a long coat (evidently
a rubber coat, belonging to Bird) and
a white hat (Mair's,) running across
tho prairie to the depot. He re
marked at tho time that he would
miss the train. This is believed to
have been Furnival.
A horse belonging to Percival was
left at Roberts's livery stable by a
man answering to Furnival's de
scription. This is all the additional facts and
evidence in the case brought to light
at this writing, Oct. 9.
The Omaha Ilee'n Opinion of J.
Sterling: 3IortoH.
Nobody acquainted with Morton's
career has any confidence in his integ
rity and nobody who has read Mor
ton's articles on the "railroads and
farmers" in the Chicago Times and
Omaha Herald can have any laith in
his professions of anti-monopoly.
Mr. Morton's advent in Nebraska
politics began during territorial times.
Iu those days he was smirched with
all sorts of jobbery. It is a matter of
record that he sought to defraud the
state out of a large tract of its Saline
lands, and was only prevented from
carrying out his nefarious scheme by
a decision of the supreme court of the
United States The people of Ne
braska were taxed over $10,000 in
lawyer's fceB for the defense of that
suit. Mr. Morton is ostensibly a
farmer, but for many years after the
Burlington road had entered this state
he acted as the paid lobbyist of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
road at Washington. As such it was
the business of Mr. Morton to use all
his influence with congressmen, espe
cially democratic congressmen, to
obstruct aud defeat bills and resolu
tions looking toward the regulation
of railroads, the forfeiture of land
grants, and reduction of their income
from government transportation. Mr.
Morton claims that he haB severed his
connection with the Burlington road,
but his eons have been for years, and
are now in the company's employ, one
of them beiug general assistant freight
agent.
Mr. Morton's career as a lobbyist at
Washington, outside of the railroad
business, haB also becu disreputable
from tho standpoint which is taken by
men who oppose legislative jobbery
and corruption. Four or live years
ago Mr. Morton was very active in
helping to lobby through congress a
bill whereby the government assumed
a large am Sunt of worthless District
of Columbia bonds, issued more than
fifty years ago. These bonds went up
from four to fivo cents on the dollar
to par, and tho congressmen and lob
byists who hud taken options on tho
passago of the bill divided tho spoils
with tho Washington money sharks.
The editor of tho Bee was at the
national capital when the bill was put
through, and he has a distinct recol
lection that Mr. Morton waa congrat
ulated upon making a small fortune
out of the job.

Massilon, Ohio, Oct. S. Blaino
and party accompanied by a long line
of carriages drove to this place from
Canton. The houses and stores along
the streets of Massilon wero decorated
with Blaine aud Logan Hags. Blaine
drove to a stand in town where he
witnessed a procession of republican
clubs and workingmen from this part
of the 6tatc. As the procession passed
Blaine was enthusiastically cheered.
Among thoso on the stand were
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, ex-Secretary
Windham, Hon. Win. McKinley
and lion. A. W. Tenncy, of New
York. Shortly after 1 o'clock tho
rain ceased and the clubs mustered
again and proceeded to tho house of
Mr. Steeze, where Blaine had taken
lunch, whence they escorted him
again through the main streets to the
fair grounds. Tho numbers iu the
streets seemed to have increased siuce
morning and the demonstrativeness
of people was even greater than be
fore. Arrived at the fair grounds
Blaine was escorted to the stand in
the midst of a mammoth tent intended
to hold over ten thousand people. The
tent was already packed full, and
thousands more were gathered out
side. When the demonstrations with
which Blaine was received had sub
sided, ho made the following speech :
"Men of Ohio, in a procession of
our political opponents, at Youngs
town recently, there appeared a man
and woman in the ranks and in ap
parent wretchedness, bearing the in
scription, 'This is what protection has
done for us.' Derisive laughter.
This was iutended to typify and de
nounce tho results of protection in
Ohio. I want to present the other
side of the picture. In Ohio to-day
there are 21,000 manufacturing estab
lishments. They cost $200,000,000,
and they turn out annually a product
worth $350,000,000. Out of the re
sults of that investment and that pro
duct I observe a great many people in
Ohio who are not in rags and not in
wretchedness. Laughter and great
cheering. Thirty-five and forty
years ago tho entire western country
was called upon as an agricultural
community to oppose protective tariff,
because it unjustly favored the manu
facturer of the east. Since then the
manufacturing industries of the coun
try have traveled westward nntil
Ohio haB become one of the largest
manufacturing states in toe union
Cheers aud combining within her
self a great agricultural interest and
great manufacturing interests. She
presents all the elements of comfort
and material progress. Steadily, as
agricultural states become BCttled,
manufactures follow. Indiana and
Illinois and Michigan arc coming on
rapidly after Ohio. Iowa, Kansas
and Minnesota will come along in duo
time. Tho result being that the pro
tective policy now upheld by the
republican party ogcrates so as to
carry tho manufacturer into every
state, and ultimately into overy coun
ty in tho union. It never was de
signed that one part of country should
be permanently agricultural and tho
other part manufacturing, but it was
designed that agriculturo and manu
factories should go hand in hand.
Cheers. And whenever they do go
hand in hand, you have thrift, prog
ress and happiness. Renewed cheer
ing. If this industrial system, which
combines tho highest olements of
human prosperity by uniting agricul
tural and manufacturing interests, is
worth preserving, you should not for
get that our political opponents have
never failed in the last fifty years,
never since 1833, when they had the
power in congress, either to repeal
the protective tariff, if one existed, or
to try to repeal it, or to prevent enact
ment of such a tariff. In other words,
ever since 1833, tho democratic party
in Congress havo never sustained by
its vote protective tariff, not once. A
voice : 'And it never will Wo are
met with the accusation that protect
ive tariff injures the commerce of the
country. That is more frequently
made in the cast than west. The an
swer to it is that since protective tariff
was enacted in 1861 the exports from
the United States have been vastly
greater in amount and value than all
the exports from the first settlement
of an English colonist on this conti
nent down to the inauguration of
President Lincoln. Great cheering.
I think that is worth repeating. Yes 1
yes! If you take every export that
was ever made from the territory
which now constitutes the United
States from the time of the settlement
at Jamestown and at Plymouth Rock
in 1G07 and 1620 clear down to 18C0
and add them together they fail by
several thousand million dollars to be
as great in amouut as our exports
from 1861 to this time. Renewed
cheering. So that the assertion that
the protective tariff hinders tho de
velopment of the commerce of the
country is not only disproved by the
facts but directly the contrary is true,
for agriculture and manufacture and
commerce go hand in hand, and were
designed to go band in hand. They
are the triple cords which bound to
gether, make up the strength of
national prosperity. I assume, there
fore, that people of Ohio are interest
ed in maintaining a protective tariff,
and if you arc, it is in your power to
do it. We'll do it, we'll do it, and
great cheering. Ohio speaks her
voice on Tuesday next. This district
will have an opportunity to speak her
voice and say whether one of the
most brilliant advocates of protection
that ever served in congress shall be
returned cheers for McKinley with
the opportunity to vindicate by your
votes the splendid experiences which
Ohio has had in developing her agri
cultural and manufacturing interests
together. It is for you, men of Ohio,
while the nation looks on, to record
your opinion and your judgment. I
thank you for your cordial reception
and bid you good-bye."
When Blaine ceased speaking the
great audience burst into a storm
cheering and shouting, which lastod
several minutes. General Hawlcy,
ex-Secretary Windom and Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, also made speech
es. The people called repeatedly for
McKinley and when he appeared the
cheering was second only to that
which had welcomed Blaine. Mc
Kinley did not make a speech but
confined himself to introducing some
of the other speakers. In the evening
there was a torch-light procession.
Blaine took dinner at the house of
Mr. Stec.c and then after dark drovo
back with McKinley to Canton.
Hf-
In this department the people talk, anil
not the editor. Each writer must hold
himself ready to defend his principles
and his statements of faets. "In the mul
titude of counsel there i wisdom." Ed.
Journal.
Enrron Journal: The Columbus
Wochcnblalt' seems very much sur
prised that M. B. refuses to say Yea
and Amen to its wholesale indictment
of the Republican party. In last
week's issue that journal repeats the
chargo of tho Republican party's be
ing an enemy of the foreiguborn cle
ment of our fellow-citizens; stating
as proof of that assertion tho nomina
tion of Blaine, whom it seems to con
sider the champion prohibitionist,
fanatic and know-nothing. Now, will
tho Wochcnblalt be so kind and point
to a single measuro of the Democratic
party during its long and almost un
interrupted sway of sixty years, which
in any special manner favored our
foreign-born citizens ? Notwithstand
ing the fact that perfidious old Eng
land was during all those years pro
claiming and inforcing that abomina
ble doctrine: "Once a citizen always
a citizen." It was during a Republi
can administration (in 1868) that a law
was enacted designed to protect the
editor of the Wochenblall and the
writer of this on our own mother
soil. It was during a Republican ad
ministration that the Homestead and
other acts relating to tho same subject
were passed, (although bitterly op
posed by the Democracy) enabiiug
thousands and thousands of poor im
migrants to obtain a homo and a com
petence. M. B. is one of them. As
to Mr. Blaine's know-nothingism we
would refer tho Wochenblatt to tho
chapter devoted to that party in
Blaine's book. The man whose moth
er was a Catholic, who invited the
Barons von Steuben to America aud
who has his sons educated at Heidel
berg, is not and cannot be a know
nothing. But James G. Blaine is an
American in tho fullest, best and nob
lest sense of that word. To the
Wochenblatt perhaps, that implies
being a know-nothing. Blaine never
''wrote prohibition articles in his
Augusta paper;" they appeared be
fore he commenced his editorial
labors on that journal. Blaine is not
a prohibitionist, but a sober man. The
Wochenblatt may not like him for
that, but we do, decidedly. Tho Re
publican party is friendly to tho ''pro
hibition cause." You don't say so!
How then do you explain the fact
that the president of the North-American
Turner-Bund (an association
which is as far away from what the
Wochenblatt chooses to call fanaticism
as its editor is from Republicanism) is
running for lieutenaut-governor on
the Republican ticket down in Mis
souri? Yes, Mr. Editor, thoso coun
trymen of ours dowu there have uot
yet forgotten that during tho first
year of the rebellion they wero about
the only ones to keep the rebel hordes
at bay. Again, how do you explain
tho fact, that throughout the Southern
states the Democracy advocates pro
hibition and tho Republicans oppose
it? Did not thousands of Maine
Democrats voto for (ho prohibition
amendment? Is not Nebraska's tem
perance agitator Finch an out-spoken
Democrat (minus a corkscrew) ? Tho
Republican party iu its national
make-up does not advocato prohibi
tion. Provo tho contrary, and wc
will listen to your pathetic plea for
democratic votes this fall. We pity
tho intellectual calibre of thoso men
who canuot comprehend that prohi
bition is not a national issue, but be
longs to the domain of police regula
tions of the several states. That a
majority of tho sober men of this na
tion are to be found in our ranks, and
most of those who worship "King
Gambrinus" in yours mav bo our
fault, or yours have it whichever
way you please. At any rate, the
respectable portion of tho German -American
element, both Democratic
and Republican owes no thanks to
those editors who insist on making it
appear that our ideal of American
citizenship is the becr-mug, or the
right to get drunk.
"Does not your German heart feel
indignant, etc." Yes, our German
heart does feel indignant at the un
parallclled audacity of that treacher
ous party which dares to bid for the
suffrages of intelligent voters after
wading through streams of fraternal
blood in the attempt to strangle tho
freest and best government on tho
face of the earth: Yes, our German
heart does feel more than indignant
at that wretched party (uot this or
that individual Democrat thousands
of them aro infinitely bettor thau their
party but the party as such, and its
leaders, liko Yallandingham and Hen
dricks) which tried its level best to
maintain and continue a medieval
feudalism. How does it dare to ask
the support of iutelligent German
Americans, thousands of whom have
fled from that cursed system of class
distinctions and social inequalities,
for the continuance of which on this
side of the Atlantic it spilled the life
blood of Abraham Lincoln ?
As to tho school land robberies
"why bless you" Mr. Editor, don't
you know that every Democrat (you
excepted) who some time ago joined
tho cry of ''corruption" with so much
gusto is now ready to acknowledge
having made an everlasting ass of
himself, investigation having proved
that there is nothing in it, especial ly
as regards Mr. Dawes? You aro so
pure, so guileless, you hold your
hands up in such holy horror at the
"corruption" aud "thievery" of Re
publican officers and candidates.
How would it be, if you would for a
change, inform your readers about
tho Saline-land manipulations of that
corrupt old free-trader Sterling Mor
ton, your candidate for governor?
You refer to the Omaha lite, but you
can't help but know that between
Morton and Dawes, Rosewatcr pro
fers tho latter a thousand times. Or
in other words, the Jiee prefers a
"fool" or a "knavo" of the Dawes
siyie to a juorton anu so do wo.
But, to show those of our fellow
citizens who don't read German, how
German Democratic editors, in utter
disregard of tho real issues of tho
day, carry on this campaign, we will
translate a specimen brick from the
editorial pago of the Wochenblatt:
"Under Blaine's banner fight tho pro
hibitionists, tho Sabbath-saints, the
hypocrites and woman suffragists,
thoso poor sinncis who, although
they do not cheat all their fellow
beings during the week, deceive their
Maker on Sunday. Blaine's victory
would bo their victory, his defeat
their defeat." M. B.
