him and bless hit name." Let the voice
of praise and thank-ottering be heard
from all at the hearthstone altar of
Home, and in the Sanctuary. If such
there be in your ruijlst, then from your
abundance relieve the wants and gladden
the hearts of the needy, and the suflering.
"So shall thy barns be tilled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with
new wine."

Clerelmmtd Elected.
The official canvass in New York
will announce today a plurality there
for Cleveland of 1,100, about as
follows :
Grover Cleveland 563,105
James G. Blaine 561,999
John P.St John 25,171
B. F.Butler 16,902
Total vote 1467477
Plurality for Cleveland 1,106
All others over Cleveland.. 40,967
Of course this means the election of
Cleveland as president and Hendricks
as vice president for the next four
years.
Those who are republicans from
principle will now be none the less
ardent, none the less earnest and un
tiring in their advocacy of what they
regard as the fundamental principles
of good government.
The democratic party, we believe
and fear, will be dominated by the
solid south, without whose support
success was impossible; we think
that they will insist upon dictating
tho policy of Cleveland's administra
tion, as they haee of every preceding
democratic president. However,since
Stephen A. Douglas's manly stand in
bis party against the aggressive dom
ineering of the southern leaders, and
afterwards with republicans for the
Union, against those who would have
destroyed it, there is ground for
some hope that the extreme of southern-
despotism will not be reached,
and that tho more moderate counsels
of the better men of the northern
democracy will be listened to, if not
fully heeded.
The business of the republican par
ty, devoted only to the good of the
country, will be to withstand with
still greater earnestness, the assaults
of the solid south, made solid by in
timidation and fraud. The thorough
ly unscrupulous methods of that
oligarchy have almost gone out the
memory of this generation, because
of tho disappearance of the African
slave trade, the auction block and the
slave driver, but the spirit is not
dead, and recent reports from the
south show that the election of Cleve
land has but quickened it.
Republicans will do what they may
to assist such northern democrats in
congress as may advise the south to
"raise more hogs and less hell," and
push their advice to its logical result
in practice. And this they will do on
tho principle of doing good as they
have opportunity.
Further than this, good-republicans
will not be unmindful of the past his
tory and glorious achievements of the
party, and will confidently look for
ward to '88, to be returned to national
power. We have the satisfaction of
knowing that no party heretofore, in
the history of the country, has done
so much to develop national resources,
and place our business with the world
on a sound basis, and, under Blaine's
guidance, we felt assured that these
interests would have been enhanced
many fold, and cannot but think that
foreign powers largely worked our
defeat, as they evidently expect to
reap benefit by it.
The Republicans may well feel ex
ultation over the last campaign, un
excelled in all the annals of political
history, adding laurels to both candi
dates. Blaine, by his masterful letter
of acceptance, as well as by his numer
ous addresses during the canvass,
(against which there was absolutely
no objection from any quarter), evi
denced his mental strength and his
wonderful ability as a leader of men ;
he opened to view (under proper ad
ministrative control) the long vista of
tho future greatness of this country,
under protection to American indus
tries, and absolute freedom from for
eign influence prejudicial to our wel
fare.
It is a notable fact that the first
president elected by the republicans,
and the last one thus far were assassi
nated in the early days of their terms,
and so long as these martyrs to human
liberty and good government shall be
remembered, along with the great
captains of the war against the rebel
lion, and tho thousands of heroic and
patriotic citizens, who, under the lead
of republican administrations put
down tho rebellion, and, at the same
time, held England and France at bay,
just so long will the republican party
hold a warm place in the affections of
the American people.

Secretary's Office, Omaha, Oct.
27, 1884. Tho fruit year of 1884 is
closed and has given a return of small
fruits and grapes, summer, fall and
winter apples largely in excess both
in quantity and quality over any pre
vious year. The State Horticultural
Society earnestly requests every fruit
grower in the state to send at once an
account of both success and failure in
growing any and all kinds of fruit,
with suggestions in regard to kinds
most profitable to plant for home use
or market. The quantity of each
kind grown should be given, so that
an estimate can be made of the year's
crop. These reports are wanted for
the annual meeting to be held at Lin
coln in January, and for publication
at an early day, for the benefit of
those who intend to plant the coming
spring. For the advancement of this
important and growing interest the
state press are requested to please
copy. Address

The climate of Asheville, North
Carolina, the year round is said to be
the most healthful of any region in
the United States, and persons known
to be troubled with pulmonary dis
ease, after breathing that soft, cool,
pure, healing air may become well
again, if there is any chance of a cure.
Persons afflicted with bad health
should always be in possession of
knowledge of a place and region of
country where, by a brief residence,
they may bo restored to vigrr. This
place we learn is western North Car
olina in the region of Asheville, a
place far 'enough south to ensure a
mild winter, while its great altitude
creates a cool, refreshing summer. It
is claimed by others that there is no
other place in America so favored, no
other place where the climate the en
tire year is so temperate and delight
ful, so invigorating and healthful.
A young man from Omaha name
could not be learned went out to
Millard tho other night to visit his
brother, who works for a farmer
named Allen. Tho young man ar
rived at tho farm house after the
family had retired for the night. He
rapped loudly on the door, and in
reply to Allen's query, "Who's there,
and what do you want," in sport he
replied that he wanted his money or
his life. Allen told him to go round
to the back door, and seized a shot
gun, opened the door and shot the
young man in the neck, inflicting
probably fatal wounds. Allen was
greatly shocked on learning who the
supposed robber was. If he lives he
will bo more careful in tho future,
about joking.
A respectable and prominent
democrat of Nebraska has expressed
the opinion that "Mr. Blaine will go
into well earned obscurity." This
democrat may yet live to see James
G. Blaine a United States senator and
President of the United States. True
and faithful republicans who love
their country and its flag and desire
the execution of its laws as well as its
general prosperity will use all proper
influence to have Mr. Blaine and Gen.
Logan placed in tho U. S. senate the
next coming four years, and after
wards elect them President and Vice
PreBident of the United States, which
can be readily done on the 4th of
November 1888.
Baroness Charlotte de Roths
child was a leading woman in her
day, and many of her clever repartees
hover about London drawing-rooms
still. When Mrs. Walpole declined
to meet Cardinal Wiseman at the
Baroness's table, because her princi

Romish priest," the Jewess cuttingly
responded, "You see, my dear, I am
not a Christian ; and so I can't be ex
pected to enter into such feelings."

The democracy continue to praise

II AS IIS SAY.
And Straight to tho Point It Is. No
Exactions. No Extra Charge, aad
tke Fastest Time Ever Made.
"Limited" by Means Ex
cepted. Tho Baltimore and Ohio U still on
deck and more saucy than ever when
it comes to talking out. in meeting for
the interests of tho traveling public,
as against the exactiousof some other
and would-be rival lines. lis latest
shot into the camp of the iiih-priced
and lancy-tixings lino ia a. hoi oue,
and already -there is squirming and
twisting to get away from the inevi
table. But ihi:re is no use of kicking
against tho prodding, and the average
man now-a-days knows a thing or
two which all the cuuuingly con
structed advertisements ot those who
want the whole earth, aud then not
get enough, cannot blind him to tho
actual state of affairs. To pay eight
or ten dollars extra for the simple
riding ou a road that assumes all
there is in this life worth having is all
bosh, and no longer will the divi
dends of railroad company and sub
sidiary corporations alike swell at tho
expense of au over-confiding public.
The B. and O. has itself gone into tho
"limited" expreeB train business, and,
as is ever the rule with everything
done by the solid old corporatiou, the
people profit, and would-be rival lines
wince. On all the "limited" trains of
other routes a sum is exacted largely
in excess of the regular ticket rate,
and the passenger, whether it be hid
choice or uot, has to pay another ex
tra in the shape of slecpiug-car fare.
If he declines to accept the conditions
so arbitrarily exacted, he has perforce
to go on a slow train, a?, according to
tho latest principles of these autocratic
companies, fast time is only for lift
wealthy. On the B. aud O. the best
is ever deemed the honest duo ot all,
and the great American maxim that
every man is his own master to fol
low his own sweet will has ever been
the all-governing rule of its half-cou-tury
and more of existence. In other
words, there are no extra charges of
any character whatsoever on tho B.
and O., and, figuratively speaking, if
a man don't want hash, ho don't have
to take it. If he desires a sleeper, a
parlor car, there it is, and the rate for
.accommodations is only the regular
standard figure, not doubled up, as on
other lines, in the interest of an al
ready all-powerful and rich sleeping
car combination.
'the day coaches on the B. and O.
Limited are braud new, just out of
tbo shop, and perfectly appointed,
combining all the latest improve
ments. They, as all other cars on the
train, run through without change,
and all in the same unparalleled time.
Note the schedule. Chicago Limited
leaves that city at 5 :10 p. m., arriving
in Washington the next evening at
7:30, and Baltimore an hour later.
This certainly is flying, a twenty-five
hour run to the National Capital be
ing all any oue could ask. Aud it is
not done at a dangerous rate of speed
or in an anyway reckless mautior. On
the B. & O. they take no risks of this
sort, but when shortening up the time
merely take out all the minor stops,
and by long, steady runs cover a vast
extent of territory in a very short
space of time. Two other trains be
side the Chicago "Limited" leave the
Garden City, one at 8:10 in the morn
ing and the other at 11:10 at night.
From St. Louis the Limited leaves at
8 a. in., and from Cincinnati at 7 :30
p. m., reaching Washington next
afternoon at 2:30 and Baltimore at
3:35. There are other trains also from
St. Louis and Cincinnati, and East
bound the B. & O. fills the bill of pop
ular expectation to a T. West bound
it comes in again with a schedule
liable to mako the officials of other
lines take to their beds with a win
ter's sick headache. The Limited for
Chicago leaves Baltimore at 8 a. m.,
Washington at 9 a. m., and reaches
Chicago at 9:20 the following morn
ing, making a half-hour's faster time
than the much vaunted "Limited" of a
rival line, and on which tho excess
charge is no leas than $8 from Wash
ington more than on the B. & O. The
B. & O. Limited for Cincinnati and
St. Louis is another corker, leaving
Baltimore at noon, Washington at
1 -05 p. m., and arriving at Cincinnati
at 7 :10 a. m., four hours ahead, and
at St. Louis at 0:30 p. m., four and a
half hours ahead, of the so-called
"Limited" Express to theso cities on
the other route. Tho Pittsburg "Lim
ited" on tho B. & O. is an honr and a
half faster from Washington to that
city than any other would bo "Limit
ed," and so throughout the whole of
the B. & O's. matchless new schedule,
it ranks far above any ever gotton out
by other linos, no matter what their
boasts or assumption to combine in
themselves all the virtue, excellence
and enterprise this whole country
affords. Duriug tho past summer a
great amount of work has been done
all along the lines of tho Baltimore
and Ohio. The track has been
Btraightened, immenso quantities of
new and heavy steel rail put down,
and to-day the ride over Picturesq no
B. & O., with all its wondrons beau
tics of nature, its unsurpassed equip
ment, luxurious cars, its very models
of railway dining halls and dining
cars, and its proverbially polite and
attentive train men, is a journey the
equal of which, for all that goes to
please and satisfy, cannot be made on
any other line on the continent. 1
