a visitor,"to surround myself with the
broadest and best mindB in the coun
try." The Chicago Herald says,
"This settles the hash of about 98 per
cent, of the men who have 'urged' for
cabinet honors."
Hon. Saml. Randall, is of opinion
that the present business depression
is phenomenal in our history, unlike
all that have preceded it, following
nine years when the balance of trade
was in favor of the Unitod States to
tho extent of $1,000,000,000.
Rates for living in Washington are
considered very high this season. It
takes about all of Senator's and Con
gressmen's salaries to meet expenses.
A senator, wife and daughter with
board and rooms, at tho very lowest
rate are asked $140 a week.
Hon. Brents, delegate from "Wash
ington Territory, slipped on the ice
while walking the other day from the
capitol at "Washington City, and in
falling broke one of the small bones
of his ankle. He has been confined to
his room since the accident.
The Tuesday lice's information
from Lincoln as to the organization
of the Senate and Houso was, in a
general way, that "tho opposition to
the capital ring and railroad candi
dates is unorganized and liable to en
counter defeat owing to a lack of
leaders."
It is now Baid that "Williams of
Butler county, the scoundrel who de
frauded so many men, served a short
term in tho California State peniten
tiary for forgery ; that his sentence
was for seven years, but that ho was
pardoned by the governor and dis
charged July 1, 1SS0.
Mr. Randall's visit to southern
cities has brought out a very cordial
and hearty welcomo from tho citizens.
In his speeches delivered to the peo
ple at different places, he is credited
with making some sensible and prac
tical remarks relative to the political
management of tho country.
John Thompson and Lizzio Howard
have been held for murder in the first
degree, at Omaha. The preliminary
examination showed that the man
poured oil over Nettie Howard and
that the woman set it on fire. This
occurred in one of Omaha's very
numerous houses of ill-fame.
"We understand that twenty-five
Senatorial terms expire with the pres
ent Congress. Fourteen of the retir
ing Senators aro democrats and eleven
republicans. It is quite probable that
only two of the democrats will be
succeeded by republicans, one from
California and one from Oregon.
The remains of Russell Hancock,
eon of Gen. "W. S. Hancock, were con
signed to the family vault at St. Louis
on the 2d. Gen. Hancock showed the
suffering he had undergone since the
news of his son's death bad reached
hi t. Mrs. Hancock was too sick to
make the journey from New York.
Dr. M. Lw George.
"Dr. M. L. George" will now be,
more than ever before, one of the
most prominent democratic politi
cians in the state of Nebraska, and
through that fact and by virtue of it,
a shinin' and a burnin' light in the
democratic national firmament. The
Doctor became somewhat notorious
in the annals of national politics in
the post-election Tilden campaign.
The general public does not readily
remember particulars, but is slightly
conscious of an impression received
at that time concerning the very good
Doctor, who, by the way, claims to
publish the only religious daily news
paper in Nebraska, and to be in favor
of the strictest principles of morality.
"Well, the good Doctor Miller-George
thought he would hie himself to
Albany, and he would tako good care
to throw inquiring enemies off the
scent of hia political mission by trav
eling under an assumed name. 'We
may parenthetically remark that the
saintly Doctor lost sight of the fact
that a man's intentions are often
known only by what he endeavors to
conceal, which principle of natural
law was very finely illustrated in this
caBO. The gentle Doctor's rotund
personality was too well known, even
in the populous and bustling Garden
City, though so distant from home,
to be obscured (not to say bid) under
such crawfishing of his name as Dr.
M. L. George. "It couldn't be did,"
to use an expressive bit of very un
grammatical language. The theatri
cal Doctor who thought ho was
playing his part well, was unmasked
by the reporters, and, in solf-defenso,
wo suppose, told his reason for craw
fishing his name if people saw his
very own name registered to the
eastward, they would at once con
clude that be was bound on a politi
cal mission, if we rightly remember
the newspaper paragraph detailing
this very valuablo information. The
excellent Doctor's grand mistake in
this whole affair was that he assumed
too humble a position for his person
ality when the fact is that he is just
as big a man in Chicago as at Omaha,
and the newspaper reporter who
wouldn't know Dr. M. L. George as
Dr. George L. Miller wouldn't be
worthy a position on the Chicago
Times, Tribune, Inter Ocean, Herald,
Journal, News or the Jieligio-Philo-sophical
Journal. The most excel
lent Doctor might have known (had
he taken a second thought) that it is
almost an impossibility for even a
"rural rooster" of Nebraska to hide
himself in the wilderness of Chicago,
to say nothing of the editor of the
leading democratic organ of the great
state of Nebraska, publishedjat the
phenomenal metropolis on the banks
of the Muddy.
If the astute Doctor had taken this
method of making known his polit
ical mission, he certainly could not
have made a better venture. .
That wonderful messenger of mod
ern men, the telegraph, carried the
news, far and wide, and the name of
"Doctor M. L. George" is probably
as familiar to the ears of the intelli
gent youth of this country now, as
was the name of Grover Cleveland
four years ago.
It is safe to say that the good Doc
tor wentfeast on a mission, a'political
mission ; went to Albany, of course,
for we find the following paragraph
on the local page of that old-established,
time-tried, truthful newspa
per, the Albany Journal, in its issue
of Jan. 1st:
Two little girls and a small boy, all
devouring oranges, gstood in the
southeast corridor of the capitol
about 1 o'clock this afternoon. One
of the little misBes said :
Is the Governor come down yet? lie
lives on our corner, and we came over
here to walk over with him when he goes
to dinner. The reason? "Why, we have
a holiday now. and we thought we would
come here and wait back with the gov
ernor. She then resumed her work on the
orange. The governor was busy up
stairs looking to the wants of several
prominent callers and examining ap
plications for pardons. Among the
early callers was Dr. G. L. Miller,
editor of the Omaha Herald, ex
member of tho national Democratic
committeo for Nebraska, and the
original Tilden man of the West,(who
registered in Chicago under the name
of "Dr. M. L. George, New York."
He said this was done to elude the
newspaper men. It is understood
that Dr. Miller is on a political mis
sion, the object being to secure as
surances from Mr. Cleveland con
corning the latter's treatment of the
rival factions in Nebraska, headed
respectively by Dr. Miller and J.
Sterling Morton, the late Democratic
nominee for governor of Nebraska.
Dr. Miller is said to have secured
ex-Governor Tilden's influenco in
behalf of the Miller faction and on
this basis hopes to wiold the public
patronage in Nebraska for tho next
four years.
The Lincoln Journal of yesterday
in a local article on legislative pre
liminaries says :
The candidates for the various posi
tions to be filled in the two houses
were "getting in their best licks" yes
terday, but the fight is so far from
being a walk-away for any to-day that
it is impossible to forecast the result.
Field of Lancaster, Stevenson of
Otoe, and Nottleton of Clay, are the
candidates for speaker. B. D. Slaugh
ter, Sherwood Burr and "Walt M.
Seeley are working for the secretary
ship of the senate and Zediker of
Franklin, and "Wilson of Cass, are
entered in the list for chief clerk of
the house.
Representative Laird from this
State, mot with quite a severe acci
dent while out riding the other day
at "Washington City, his horse slipped
and fell on the pavement, throwing
him to the ground and falling upon
him, breaking the right leg above the
ankle. Physicians say he sustained
compound fracture of the limb.
A Nebraska court has given
George Foxen a verdict of 6 cents
damages for being tarred and
feathered. He used over one dollar's
worth of soap to get the stuff oft, and
can't 6ee where he has made any
money. The report must be true, as
it comes from a reliable exchange.
Nebraska has already become fa
mous for raising good clean seed, and
her reputation is growing every year,
so that this important industry bids
fair to be one of the greatest of our
sources of wealth in the future. "We
have not at hand (but would like to
be furnished with) a report of all
that was raised in this vicinity the
past season, but the following will
give our readers who are interested a
suggestion that may be worth some
thing to them. Mr. "W. A. "Way
raised five acres of squash, getting
about 800 pounds of seed, at 20 cts. a
lb; two acres of cucumbers, 100 lbs.
to the acre, at 18 cts. a lb ; 20 acres of
sweet corn, 40 bus. to the acre, at $1
a bu., and the fodder was enough to
pay for the labor. John Tannahill
raised twelve acres of cucumbers, 150
lbs. to the acre, at 18 cts. a lb ; one
acre of mammoth squash, 231 lbs., at
50 cts. a lb. "Wo understand that Mr.
Cresap likewise raised some, and Mr.
Gates more than any of the others.
The claim is made for Kansas and
Nebraska that they excel any other
place for raising and maturing the
seeds of vines and of evergreen
sweet corn.
Ax earthquake shock is reported at
"Washington City on the night of the
3d. At Brightwood glasses were
tipped from shelves and children
awakened from sleep in fright. The
tremor was accompanied by a noise
similar to that made by a wagon
drawn close to a house. In south
"Washington the shock was also felt
and was at first thought to have been
from a heavy railroad train passing.
Farmers from neighboring counties
in Maryland stated that the shock was
quite severe. In the neighborhood of
Silver Spring there was a rumbling
sound. In the vicinity of Laugley,
Va., trembling of tho earth was plain
ly felt. At "Warrenton the motion
was from east to west, accompanied
by a dull, heavy sound and shaking
windows violently. At Laconia, N.
U., it passed from north to south,
accompanied by a rumbling sound.
At Buckeystown, Lime Kiln Switch,
Hyckville, Adamstown, Greenfield
Mills and other points in Maryland
the shock was so preccptible that the
residents ran from their houses terri
bly frightened.
TnE David City liepublican is wag
ing warfare against its enemies. At
this distance, and reading tho one
side in the liepublican, it would seem
that the fight, which is bitter, is waged
on the part of the liepublican in the
interest of good morals and against
criminal practices. If this be so, the
liepublican should not only have the
expressed moral aid of the citizens of
Butler county, but it should receive
that material and substantial support
which comes to the front with a
year's subscription, and the expres
sion in all proper places of solid favor.
A good word from an intelligent, de
termined, solid man is like a minnie
ball sent straight to the murk, and the
newspapers everywhere which take
the side of law, order and good gov.
ernment against the horde of law
breakers, their aiders, abettors and
apologizers deserve, so far, that 6olid
recognition which helps all good citi
zens in all good ways, and builds up
communities where it is a pleasure to
live and work.
A well-dressed stranger, smooth
demeanor and cheeky ways may enter
a community, and run a successful
career as a professional gentleman ;
be a high member in church, a leader
of fashion, "a hale fellow" with every
body, and finally get an opportunity
to rob his acquaintances to the tune of
several hundred or several thousand
dollars. It would be well if, in such
cases, confidence were a plant of ex
ceedingly 6low growth, and commu
nities were not as liable to place
snakes in their bosoms, which when
warm will turn and strike them. The
poison of cheeky knavery is very
deadly, and tho community which
allows itself to be ridden down by its
baser citizens lacks both courage and
senso.
Dr. Miller has gone to New York.
We don't claim even the right to
guess his business to that city, but
should it be political and to look after
who will get the big offices in Ne
braska under the new democratic
administration, indeed we know of no
other democrat better qualified in the
state to perform that duty. His past
and present political history in the
State fully warrants the above asser
tion. It is none of our business par
ticularly, except to wish that the State
may obtain competent and honest
officials, and we shall expect no other
kind through that source.
The Chicago Herald thinks that the
United States Senate is the one great
stumbling block to railroad legisla
tion, the controlling spirits there be
ing "corporation lawyers or moneyed
representatives of monopolies, and
their principal idea of legislation to
protect the various combinations
which sent them there." "We will
have no change in these matters," says
the Herald, "until the people exert as
much pressure on their legislatures as
the corporations do. Thero is where
the root of the evil lies." If the Sen
ate was composed of Van Wycks the
people would not complain.
A dispatch from Lincoln to the
Bee says that Frank Babcock, a pa
tient from Colfax county, in the In
sane asylum, was killed last Sunday
morning by John Graver, an attend
ant. Babcock's ribs were found

the ends penetrating the lungs in
many places ; the liver was terribly
lacerated and the right kidney se

did not return until the next day, and
at once renewed the quarrel, and then
beat her in a terrible manner, from

The excitement in tho vicinity of the
