"Tho hog cholera has evidently
struck this part of the country, as
hundreds of dollars worth of hogs
are dying daily. Ole Larson recently
lost $600 worth of fat hogs, and J. G.
Preston has hauled off over two hun

accordingly. It is estimated that the
hog crop in this county is damaged
about $150,000.

A Citizen' Views.
Mr. Editor : While asking spaco
for the statement of a few things in
regard to the political situation, we
hope the positions presented will be
given a fair and libera! interpretation
at the hands of your many readers.
1. As to Republicanism. The ad
herents to the doctrines and senti
ments of this loyal party, and tho par
ticipators in its past workings, have
declared that its record is one to bo
highly commended. In other words,
with the exception of frailties com
mon to erring humanity, it stands
foremost in the cause of liberty, aud,
with all its failings it meets issues
more squarely, and upbuilds the
cause of good government better than
any party of the past quarter of a cen
tury. But more, further on.
2. Tho Democracy have utterly
failed to so identify themsolves with
the advanco made in popular institu
tions as to acquire governmental con
trol during that peiiod.
3. As anti-monopoly movements,
of any sort, have failed to bring out
issues that the old parties havo not
fully grappled with, and the cause of
right advanced by means of tho Re
publican party which is now the supe
rior party in this country, the fusion
of the so-called labor element with
the democracy is an evident confes
sion, when an issue is ripe, it must be
met in contest by the old parties, aud
cannot be brought into vital actiou
under assumed conditions which can
not now exist.
4. Prohibitionists are men who be
lieve in the perpetual restraint of the
Ijquor traffic, with all its concomitant
devices and doings. They insist on
the lawfulness, tho necessity, and the
benefits of prohibition as being favor
ablo to our continued prosperity as a
nation.
But who are these prohibitionists.
We believe they are ot three clasees :
1. Loyal republicans. 2. Sincere
democrats. 3. Men neutral on the
issues between these parties.
The republican party has not assum
ed a position in its national platform,
and in only a few 6tate organizations
has it deemed it a wise measure to
insert a prohibition plank. The dem
ocratic party have taken a 6tand
against prohibition, and tho ardent
supporter of democracy, with or
without design opposes this doctrine.
If this question is mote vital to
national life than any presented by
the democracy, then assuredly, per
sons of the prohibitionist type, who
formerly trained in that party will
come where their vote and influence
is not against the cause of prohibition.
If the cause of prohibition is im
portant, right, and essential, but ad
mits of the direct support of other
iMarM which are indispensable to
good government, then let tho reader
pause, and consider the situation. The
writer is a believer in the republican
tenets, and in the justness of its main
issues. He is also a believer in the
equity of state and national prohibi
tory measures. Tho question urged
upon your readers, Mr. Editor, is this :
Must an earnest supporter leave the
republican party, or be declared an
opposer of prohibition and temper
ance? The points in this question
are plain. Who will give us an
answer? K H.
Ab Explanation Wunted.
The able editor of the Omaha Her
ald is pouring out dreadful impreca
tions npon tho Republican parly for
its alleged crookedness and corrup
tion. A very pertinent thing for him
to do would be to explain the follow
ing telegram which ho sent from
Omaha in 1S76, to W. T. Pelton,
nephew and business manager of S.
J. Tildcn : "Ignorant wholo business.
Partner powerful motives to fidelity
to Gould order. Cannot it not bo
done through A. Kountze, 12 Wall
street, or myself, or both? Kountz
Tildcnish Republican. Reliable bo
yond doubt. Last resort. Protect
everybody and use Davis. Answer."
(Signed) George L. Miller. We fear
this telegram, until it is explained,
will stand in the way of the able
Omaha editor's success as a reformer.
Chicago Jfcivs.
We are informed by responsible
parties that in some sections of the
country the Democratic party are in
sisting that there is a duty on tea and
coffee, imposed by the Republican
party. It seems absurd that such a
story should be circulated or believed,
but it evidently is. The only excuse
for Buch opaque ignorance is that tea,
coffee, cocoa, etc., are all heavily
taxed in Free-trade England ; and, as
average Free-trade orator is more
imbued with British ideas than
American, he may have confused
the policies of the two countries. The
duty on tea and coffee was lcpeal
ed by Congress in 1872, by the repub
lican party, because it was a duty that
was most irksome to the wage-earning
class. Philadelphia Press.
Cleveland's ideas of economy and
reform were shown by his charges
for attendance at court at Buffalo,
when he was sheriff. There were
three courts, and he brought in bills
for 863 days' personal attendance in a
year, at $3.00 per day. The way he
did was to visit each in rotation for
thirty or sixty minutes each day, and
then charge the taxpayers for a full
day's work. But this same Cleveland
thought twelve hours' labor too short
for a full day's work on the foot
board by car-drivers; his idea was
that sixteen hours was abont right for
them, and thirty minutes tor himself.

The Republican party embodies in
its creed four distinct and important
doctrines : First, peace with the
whole world ; second, commercial ex
pansion in every practicable direc
tion ; third, encouragement of every
form of American industry ; fourth,
protection to ovory citizen, native or
naturalized, at home and abroad.
Under these policies the Republican
party tries to conduct -the govern
ment; under these principles the Re
publican party submits itself to the
judgment of the American people;
on these principles we conquer, or on
these we arc conquered. James G.
Blaine, at Rochester.

Clevelaud's election would be Eng
land':) triumph.
ltlainc'ri success next November
will send grief and humiliation to the
heart of Enghiud.
Blaine's foreign policy means Iho
vigorous assertion of American rights
and the protection of American in
terests abroad.
James G. Blaine will receive tho
support of a majority of the intelli
gent and independent Irish voters
the men who own their own souls
from Maine to California.
Cable despatches announce that the
London Times has issued its editorial
ukase, to the effect that, on account
of a split in the Republican ranks, the
Democratic ticket will be elected in
November. "Out of the fullness of
tho heart tho mouth spcakcth." John
Bull is confchfiedly aching to swell his
bank account from the leciiimatc
earnings of American labor. John
will be disappointed.
The Bee could have consistently
supported a democrat who has a clean
record and who is honestly in sym
pathy with producers. But J. Ster
ling Morton is neither clean-handed
nor in sympathy with any measure
that has for its object the restriction
of railway monopolies, or the relief
of the people from extortion and dis
crimination. Omaha Bee.
Less than 6ix months ago 152 Dem
ocratic Congressmen voted for a re
duction of 20 per cent, in the wages
of workers in glass factories and iron
mills. Is it strange that business is
paralyzed during a campaign while
the danger of the success of its sworn
enemy is imminent?
Here is the way one man puts it :
"Democratic success means free trade.
Free trade means 30 per cent, reduc
tion in wages. Reduction in wages
means the panic and revolution."
That is a thing not merely for work
ingmen but for all classes to take a
good second look at.
Gen. Marmaduke, Democratic can
didate for Governor of Missouri, de
clares that he "was, is now aud always
expects to be a rebel." Should any
thing happen to lake Mr. Hendricks
off the ticket, the party now knows
where to find a substitute.
THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF NEBRASKA.
We were favored this week with a
call from Mr. G. M. Monroe, who is
representing the above work in this
part of the state. Mr. Monroe gave
us quite a detailed explanation of the
scope and manner of preparation, and
there can be no donbt of the value
and usefulness of such a publication
to every intelligent citizen. The pub
lishers, Messrs. Everts & Kirk, whose
publishing and engraving' establish
ment is in Philadelphia, are sparing
no labor or expense in its prepara
tion. Mr. Everts, the senior member
of the firm, is one of the leading farm
ers in Richardson county, this state,
and is determined that it shall bo a
first-class work in every particular,
as the announcement below will show :
PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEMENT.
Tho long-felt want of the peoplo of
Nebraska for a good and reliable atlas
of their state, which would treat of
its several counties, cities and places
of growing importance, together with
numerous commendations of such a
work, by gentlemen of business ex
perience and ability residing both in
and out of the state, havo resulted in
our undertaking the publication of
The Stato Atlas of Nebraska. That
this atlas will prove to bo just such a
work as each and every citizen should
have, there can be no doubt. The
plan of its construction has been
carefully studied and arranged with
a view to inserting the most practical
and useful information, and it has
universal approval. This work will
treat of each county in such a thor
ough and exhaustive manner aa to
cover the practical and desirable
points found in maps and atlases de
voted to a single county, and thus
treating of all counties throughout
the state, makes it the equivalent of
so many separate county publications.
The publishers do not underrate the
immense labor connected with their
undertaking, and rely to a great ex
tent on tho enterprise, intelligence
and liberality of the citizens to enable
them to prepare a work which will
reflect credit npon the state, its citi
zens and themselves.
The following open letter from
leading citizens of our state commend
ing the undertaking speaks for itself:
An Open Letter from the Stale Offi
cials and others, Introducing and
commending the Publication of the
Official State Atlas of Nebraska.
Messrs. Everts & Kirk, Publishers,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Having examined your plans for
the publication of an official State
Atlas of Nebraska, and heard yolir
explanation of its details, character
and general scope, we give our un
qualified approval of the same. Our
6tate is in great need of such a work,
and we commend it to onr fellow
citizens, believing that the present
prosperous condition of the state, its
rapid growth and developm entmake
it almost a necessity than an accurate
atlas, on a large scale, showing all
counties, townships sectionized, cities
and villages, endorsed by the respec
tive county officials as reliable, be
issued, not only for the convenience
of our citizens, but to be placed, as
they undoubtedly will, in public
offices throughout other states, there
by proving a real benefit to the state
at large. We wish you success in
your undertaking, and trust our citi
zens Avill givo you every possible
encouragement.
