As we write this paragraph (Nov. 10), the election of president has not been settled, both sides claiming to have carried New York state, by a not very large majority, and both tolerably confident of success. It is somewhat unfortunate that the chairman of the Democratic National Committee saw fit to issue the pro nunciamento that be did the other day, endeavoring to inflame the minds of his partizans against their fellow citizens of the opposite party, for there is not .the slightest purpose on the part of republicans to place a straw by way of obstructing the due enforcement of the law in every par ticular. AH we want is that no fraud of any kind shall be perpetrated, eith er for or against any candidate or party, let the result be what it may. In a vote so numerous aB is that of the great state of New York, it would simply be a visionary notion to think there has been no illegal voting; doubtless illegal voting was done to some extent by all parties,bnt what we mean to say is that, as far as is possi ble, let every unlawful ballot be cast out, and then, if Cleveland or Blaine shall have a majority of but just one vote, let the decision stand as a shin ing instance of the sovereign power, in our government, of the individual voter, to be pointed to in coming times as showing the importance of each citizen who votes, doing so un derstand! ngly, and with the possible responsibility of the result all depend ing upon his one vote. This would likewise bring home to each man the importance of protecting every class of citizens, however humble, in their right to cast a ballot and have it fairly counted, for if one voting member of either party is deprived of his right ful voice, that fact may possibly nullify every other vote cast by his party. If our president shall once be actually elected by some one man's vote, every fool can see the import ance of a free election and a fair count. If there is any one principle that the great body of intelligent Ameri can citizens hold sacred, it is that of "fair play," applicable to political contests as well as to everything else. For many reasons, it is desirable that contests of this sort in a popular government be decisive, one way or the other, for this would leave no just ground of complaint; none of the uglier pasBions of men would find reasonable provocation for disturbing the peace of the republic, and possibly involving it in fratricidal war. As it looks now, instead of ascer taining to-morrow or Wednesday, the probability is it will be days before a decision is reached, because many contests have been entered, which must take their way through the courts. The election laws of New York state are eaid to be the most perfect of any in the Union, and men generally are reasonably well satisfied that the returns will be fully and fairly canvassed. The speeches of James G. Blaine, oyer a hundred, great and small, made during his memorable tour in the past two months, constitute the most brilliant additions to the politi cal literature of this country to the honor of any one man siuce the days of Daniel Webster. In matter, in variety, in dignity of tone, in elegance of diction, they have been beyond criticism, above attack, and in some instances have delighted by sparkling epigram, charmed with the rare beauty of perfectly expressed ideas, and at all times have shown the brilliant mind, the profound intelli gence, and the graceful scholarship that ennoble the man and distinguish the statesman. Inter-Ocean. Among a lot of modern prorerbe recently sent to a London newspaper were the following: '"It is a poor musician whn can't blow bin own trumpet." "The want of money ig the root of mucb evil." "If yon woold know a mau's character follow him home." "Only whisper scandal, and its echo ia beard by ail;" TOWNSHIP. OFFICERS. tr Treasurers.

Wurdeman Sam Imtaoff H.S.Elliott entitled to two supervisors, elected John Wiggins and J. E. North. The steadiness of American secu rities under the Presidential election excitement is the subject of comment by the press. The Pall Mall Gazette holds that this steadiness is a striking illustration of the stability of demo cratic institutions. A eimilar crisis in any-other country would convulse prices. A nation of fifty million peo ple decides the fate of its government in a closely contested election, which is conducted with wild excitement from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific, with less effect upon the stock market than a report that King Alfonso had a cold in his head would effect the Spanish Bourse. A mock funeral was indulged in the other day in Baltimore, Md., the sub ject being the effigy of James G. Blaine. His hands were covered with cotton gloves and the body was wrapped in a bloody shirt. The "corpse" was lying upon a stretcher borne by fonr able-bodied men, who wore crape in their hats and arms. The cortege was composed of about 350 men and boys, headed by a fife and drum, marched down Baltimore street to the music of a dead march, and was hailed with shouts of laugh ter along the line of march. The Iqbs of hogs in this county is a terrible blow financially to the far mers and business men and its effect will surely be felt all over the county. In all probability $200,000 would not more than compensate the farmers of this county for the loss they have sus tained. One farmer Mr. Hedges, near Clear Creek has lost over four hundred head within the last few weeks, and a number of other farmers have lost 75 and 100 head. Wahoo Tribune. In this state the real estate upon which the taxes of 1883 are delin quent is now on sale for taxes and is, we learn, selling rapidly in some parts of the state. It is certainly the best thing owners of real estate can do to promptly pay up their taxes and permit no cloud to be placed on their'title which it will cost at least twenty per cent, on the amount of delinquent taxes to remove. In the United States district court at Omaha, the Union Pacific railway has brought suit to restrain Colfax, Platte, Gosper and nail counties from conveying or selling any of their lands for taxes which have been as sessed and which remain unpaid. Tho Company Bets np the defense that its lands wore not taxable, be cause no patents on them have yet been taken out. General Gordon's fate- still ap pears to be in doubt. It appears quite evident that the British govern ment did not give him needed and prompt assistance as his case seemed to demand. Some folks believe either the strength and the determin ation of the enemy were undented or England's sinewB of war are be coming weakened. A raging snow storm and high northeast wind was running the heaviest the other day that has visited Father Point for years. The whole town of Rinonski is innndated and forms a part of the sea itself. A large number of houses, barns, stables and wharves are carried away. No lives lost Wesley N. Kerns, living near Table Hock, Neb., met with a serious loss the other morning by bis bonse burning to the ground and destroy ing everything in the bnildiag. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Kerns made a narrow escape bis life, being nearly suffocated. Mr. with A tunnel said to be 5,000 feet in length has recently been discovered on the island of Samos. It was con structed about nine centuries before the Christian era, and Herodotus says it served the purpose of providing the old KMporl with drinkiig water. Clerks. Assessors. A. W.Clark B. II.

St. Johv was burned in effigy in front of the liepublican office the other evening at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in tho presence of 5,000 people. The poople then dragged the burning effigy through the streets. It is said there are more tourists in Ireland this year than ever before. There has also been an unusual influx of nobility and landowners who are rarely represented in the country ex cept by their agents. Since the 1st of July the govern ment has paid out $24,000,000 for pen sions. In five years it has disbursed nearly $300,000,000 for tho same pur pose. Who says republics are un grateful ?

ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Platte County. D. Anderson has farwarded by re quest to the U. S. Dept of Agricul ture the following estimates and facts concerning Platte county : That tho county contains 351,248 acres capable of sustaining 100,000 head of cattle; that the most acceptable dairy breeds are Holsteiu and Durham crossed" ; best for beef production, Durham and Hereford ; about 700 cows devoted to dairy purposes (wo think this a very low estimate Ed. Journal) : annual increase of cattle, about 5,000 head ; favorite breeds for beef, Durham. Devon and Hereford ; cattle aro turn ed to market at 3 to 4 years old ; the cost per car to ship to Chicago is fS5, to St. Louis $70, and the cost per lb. for rearing, 2 cts. ; the condition of cattle at this season is only fair where close herding has been done; tho shelters are opeu sheds ; the loss dur ing winter is about 100 lbs. to tho animal, and the percentage of loss for want of shelter, live; it would be practical economy to slaughter all western beeves, except exports, west of the Missouri river ; as to loss by disease, there is a comparatively small loss in young cattle by black leg, among young hogs, a very small loss by lung disease or diptheria; as to remedies, salt and salt petrc mixed is recommended for black leg ; the esti mated value of cattle slaughtered and sold in Platte is put down at $175,000; those who take tho lead in this in dustry are Miller Bros., Aimer Tur ner, D. Anderson, M. II. White aud J. P. Becker; our stock raisers and dealers are constantly improving their grades of cattle and hogs, and these two industries, iu connection with corn raising, give the moat profit, and the principal wealth of this locality.
