Lyon, wounded by the explosion at the Royal School of Gunnery, died the other morning. Each had both legs blown off. Mrs. Eliza. Curtin, wife of John Curtin, living near Sterling, Uebi, was found cold in death the other morning. She was well the night before, and doctors say she died of heart disease. L. H. Reclus, a local sewing ma chine agent, at Hastings, Neb., cot his neck from ear to ear the other after noon. The cause of the act is attrib uted to domestic infelicity. He may possibly recover. At a recent meeting of the con servative peers, held at the residence of Marquis SaulBbury, it was unani mously resolved to move in the honse of lord b a vote of censure against the government for its Egyptian policy.

BrnoN Baxel, a 'farmer near Tobias, Saline county, Neb., com mitted' -Buicide the other day by shooting himself in the right side with a revolver. No cause for the act is known. He was 33 years old and unmarried. Governor MooDr, of Oregon, is reported as saying, "No vacancy will occnr in XL S. Senator until March 4, and unless President Cleveland calls an extra session there will be no need to appoint a senator until December. I shall be in no haste to fill the vacancy." "Watchman" asks a number of questions in a communication in to day's Journal and proceeds to answer them in three words. Some of our good republican readers can have somo fun with "Watchman" by locking horns with him on his "answer." It is claimed that an effort is being made in New York City, by the Fenian Brotherhood, to organize two or more foil regiments of 1,000 men each for service in the Soudan to operate with the Mahdi against the British in Egypt in the name of the struggle for liberty. Mrs. Dudley, who shot Rossa, was arraigned the other morning 'In a new lork court. Her counsel said, by his advice, she remained mute. The recorder directed that a plea of not guilty bo entered for Mrs. Dudley and her bail fixed iat $5,000. The accused was then taken back to prison. The latest is that Dr. Miller does not go into the cabinet but will have control of the Nebraska patronage. There may be some question about ' this, as Bayard goes into the cabinet, and his particular and only friend among Nebraska delegates was 'Mr. Morton, who voted for him throughout. - The finding of the conrt niartial in the case of Gen. Swaim was made pnblic the other evening, together with the sentence as .approved by President Arthur.

Political parties, like individuals, should emulate each other's virtues, and ehun each other's vices. Jt would be rash to pjresojaw y that , the democratic party had learned nothing through all the years that it has been out of power; that the rebuke given to its last imbecile president (who couldn't find power in the federal government to coerce a seceding state) lias been forgotten ; for twenty foar:ywilithaVLbeen kept alive somehow, and now has a chance for a further lease of life. We hope to see the country prosper, even under democratic administration ; we could hope that Grover Cleveland (not too much domineered by the Southern brigadiers) would'make a good, busi ness president, filling the functions of his office fairly well. While a presi dent must, to a large- extent, be in fluenced by the desires of those who elected.him,'.it will still be good for him to remember that he is not presi dent of a- party, bnt of the country, and that it Is 'true' that "he serves his party best who serves his country, best" While republicans, as a rule, have very little faith in the combina tion that is now "at the, front," it will be the part of valorous discretion to wait and watch, and watch and wait for awhile. KaVaiaa; the Xreaaary. Satarday last abont 2 o'clock in the afternoon a bold attempt was made td rob the State Treasury at Lincoln. Mr. Bartlett was standing behind the railing when three men walked in at the. door, presented pistols at his head and. ordered him to throw up his hands. Bartlett wanted to know of them whether it was fooling or busi ness. The reply was, "No talk. Hand out that money and be quick about it" Mr. B. hesitated no fur ther bnt handed them between $300 and 400 cash, on the counter, at the same time saying in a loud tone, "Here It is ; help yourselves." This he did to notify two detectives who were secreted in adjoining apart ments, one of whom immediately opened a door into the hall and covered the door into the treasurer's office with a shot-gun. The first man out obeyed the order to throw up his hands. The second did not and was shot down. The. third one slammed the door shut and' escaped through an open window. Jim. Griffin, the robber who was shot, died at 4 o'clock. Alvin Maguire, the captured one, is one of the most notorious ,. of Lincoln's criminals. Both these have escaped the gallows on the plea of self-defense, Griffin killing Jesse Campin three years ago, and Maguire killing Yan Auken several years ago. Owing to sus picions that the detectives had set np the job, and inveigled these bad characters into it, the escaped robber has been secured and turned over to the officers. Here is one of the numerous in stances of the effects of competion and also one of discrimination. The price of Rock Spring coal at Schuyler is seven' dollars per ton, at North Platte abont two hnndred miles west of here it is eight dollars, while at Omaha it Bells for five dollars and fifty centB per ton. If the railroad company can afford to Bell coal at Omaha at five dollars and fifty cents per ton what justice is there in charging the citizens of Schuyler seven dollars ? If they can sell coal at Schuyler for seven dollars and at Omaha at five dollars and fifty cents what justice is there in charging the citizens of North Platte eight dollars per ton? These are questions that interest every citizen of this state, and the action of the railroads in this matter cannot be explained in any way except that they have the power to rob and expect to use it as long as they possibly can. Schuyler Herald. As an evidence of the rapid growth of Nebraska it may bo mentioned that for thirty-six hours, beginning at 7 o'clock Thursday morning, 109 car loads of immigrant movables passed tbrongh this city on the B. & M., billed for Nebraska towns. Let the grand move continue to come in, and this state will round the million mile post with "ease and grace before the census of 1890. From now till the middle of May it will be safe to esti mate the flow, of immigration at 1,000 souls per day. In a little while Ne braska will "be all farms and villages and cities and railroads. Let the good work go on. Lincoln Journal. - j -Van Wtck the other, day called up the bill -in the senate for the sale of the Sac, and Fox Indian reservations in Nebraska and Kansas.

In the conviction of Mackin, Gallagher and Gleason and the acquittal of Biehl. The greatest extitement pre vailed In and around the conrt room when the verdict was announced. The attorneys for the defendants at once moved. for a new trial. Other indictments are pending against most of the defendants, both in the federal and state courts, and Mackin is under bonds on various cases to the amount of 120,000 .to $30,000. Recent London news shows that the adoption of Salisbury's motion of censure by tho lords, 189 to 68, was a terrible blow on the managing offi cials of the government. And the rejection of Northcote's motion of censure by the -house of commons, 302 to 288 did not help the action a great deal, as in effect, it is virtually a defeat ef the government's policy. The excitement was said to be intense when it became known that the Par nelites had decided to oppose the government, and at once a number of hesitating radicals voted against the censure and the government was saved from open defeat. Recent news from Louisville, Ky., reports that a farmer in the blue-grass country, named Moses Caton, with his fonr sons, were jailed the other night at Morgantown for hanging his wife, who refused to deed him a small parcel of land. The neighbors in dressing the corpse, discovered the woman's neck broken. The Caton family defied an armed posse until the house was about to be set on fire. The father and one son are badly wounded. Physicians Douglass and Sands unite in the opinion that Gen. Grant's trouble comes from a cancerous growth at the root of his tongue, from which he is supposed to suffer constant pain in the ear and head. He cannot now eat solid food, for he has lost all his teeth. They were ex tracted in the hope of easing the pain in the face. His friends now believe that there is not any hope that he may ever recover. Miss Sallie S. Barclay, an ac complished young lady of Lexington, Ky., appeared before (he county judge the other day, and produced her commission from the Governor, appointing her notary public for Fayette county, till the end of the next General Assembly. She took the oath prescribed by law, and en tered into bond for a faithful dis charge of her duties. Recent word from Pittsburg states that the body of a man was found in the snow near St. Clair station the other day. A card found on the de ceased bore the name of P. J. Hoder, Schuyler, Neb. The position of the body indicated that he had fallen from a train and was killed, and the body snowed under, which must have occurred before the snow fall, two weeks ago. Dr. Sara Craig, of the class of '84, Michigan Univert-ity, now house physician in the Woman's Hospital at Detroit, is making an enviable reputation in that institution. Health officer Wright and other prominent physicians speak in the highest terms of her sanitary improvements, urging other institutions of liko nature to adopt her system. The club fever in a New York hus band was recently cured by his wife procuring a partly worn gentleman's glove which sho left on the parlor sofa when she retired, after sitting up nntil 12 o'clock waiting for her absent lord. Miss Alger Bays that in her ex perience as a visitor for the Associa ted Charities, she finds no drunken ness among the Italians, and the greatest fastidiousness, coupled with economy, among the French. Dr. SkrJPh Frissell was ad mitted a member of the Hampden, county medical society, at its last meeting, in Springfield, Mass. Dr. Frissell is the first woman admitted to that society.

BY BYRON MILLETT. Society arises from the wants and fears of individuals. Then tfollows government in order to preserve' society. If the laws which govern ment prescribes fail to protect its sub jects in their person and property; or if the tribunals which administer them are weak or corrupt, the evil is an intolerable one. It therefore be comes the duty of the citizen to in quire into the sources of evil, and ask why are things thus ? Let us see how these remarks apply to the adminis tration of criminal justice. Firstly, we will make a few obser vations concerning existing laws on that important subject. Certain classes such as professional men, fire men, militia men, etc., are now ex empt, from jury duty. The state should have a paramount right to the services of its citizens as jurors, in criminal cases. There shonld be no class exemption in that behalf. Indi vidual excuses only should be allowed, as the necessity of the case might re quire, in the discretion of the court. Let the punishment be severe for making false excuses. After improv ing the material In the jury box, a unanimous verdict ought not to be required in any case, except where the punishment is capital. After de liberating a reasonable time, say six hours, a three-fourths vote ought to determine the prisoner's fate. Under such wholesome laws, it does seem to the writer that better juries would be selected, -justice meted out to crimi nals more effectually than is likely to be the case as the law now stands. When- unauimous verdicts are the rule, the malefactor, if he can see one or two of the jurymen, can frequently cause a disagreement if he cannot procure an acquittal ; whereas, if the system contended for were the role, ho or his pimps would more than likely be thwarted in their nefarious work; as they would have to labor with a better class of men, generally speaking, and the purchase of two or three jurors would not be sufficient. Iu a murder case, the prisoner has sixteen peremptory challenges, the state six, in other cases only three, and in criminal trials where tho pun ishment is .by imprisonment for a period of more than eighteen months, the defendant is allowed to challenge eight jurors, peremptorily, and in the other trials six. Readers, do you not think, under such a state of affairs, that the accused is a sort of a "favored duck?" Do you wonder that he feels secure in his infamy, and that he is on the high road to distinction ? All this too at the tax payers expense, ;when grain and produce are at such low figures. Are you not convinced that too fre quently, the culprit can by exhausting his challengesllmd that Tor or with out a consideration can get one or two snide jurors to serve him ? It would seem that six-challenges out to suffice in any case, and that the state and defendant, in that regard, ought to be placed on an equal footing. A great expense could be saved the county, by abolishing the grand jury, except on petition of 100 resident freeholders, or on recommendation of the board of supervisors or commissioners. Secondly.. Let us consider, the tribunal administering the law. The presiding judge has more or less pride in his high office. His transactions .can be made a part of the record. , If hist acts prejudice a party, be can be reversed. If he is corrupt, he can' be impeached. Bnt what protection is there for a community, when-juries acquit in spite of the evidence and the law as given to them by an able court. When such a state of things .exists is it not about .time for the Jaw- abiding citizens to ask why they are taxed so "heavily to support such farces, and what consideration they are getting for their money ? It costs Platte county about $200 per day for running its sessions of. the District Court in criminal ' ' prosecution a Would.it not be well to ascertain how snch prosecutions are conducted; watch who get oa juries aad how lhav vnt thnr Innlr Ant fmr tm Am-l fendant'e Dimna for taev are tka aaaat I detestable creatares who infest aacie- a m - ty.

"In the mul-. titude Of counsel there is wisdom ."En" Journal. - - - Editor Journal, Dear Siri--lu looking over the -doings of Congress a few questions arise in my mind as follows:"" Who passed' the amendment-to' the legale tender.. act that cau3ed the depreciation of green backs? Who caused the de9truct ion of the greenbacks and put the -same amount into government.bonds draw ing interest from the people? , Who supported tbp5 credit mobelier com pany, the salary grab and back-pay steal? Who supported the star route thieves? Who gave to corporations over two hundred million acres of land and over one hundred and thirty millions oi money including Interest? Who passed the law to pay the bonds both interest and principal in coin? Who demonetized silver? Who are opposed to paying the bonds' with silver? Who were opposed to' the remonetization of silver? Who were opposed to the maintenance and re-: issuing of the greenbacks? JWho opposes the land; grant forfeitures? Who opposes -Inter-state commerce legislation? Who is it that have shown a willingness at ail times to legislate in favor of corporations? Who is it that utterly refuses to leg-' islate for tho people, and who, has" continually worked against the best interests of the great masses of the people?. AIL of the above questions can be. answered in three words as follows : The Republican party. Deny it you who can? Wilt any of the readers of the Journal tell me of one law that was passed by the Republican party between the yCars of 1865 and 1878 that was in tho least against corpora tions and in favor of the great masses of the people ? Watchman. Editor Journal: In the Demo crat of the 14th of Feb. '85, and under the heading, "Platto Center Items," I read the following statement. "We hear of a Polander living a couple of miles from Platte Center, unmercifully beating his wife last week. She was afraid to allow his arrest for fear be would kill her when all was .over. The whipping post is badly needed, and should be applied on these unmerciful brutes." Whoever "Kriser" is, and I judge from his name that he is a "King worshiper," I will simply state that his "we hear part Of the statement" is utterly false and without foundation, in fact as any one sufficiently in terested to inquire of W. NUes, Pow ell, M. D., of Platte Center can find for themselves, and let me here state that I do not think that the Polander element, in this community receives proper recognition. We came here from the old coun try to make a home, by honest in dustry; so did every one of you Irish, English, German and every other countryman. Tou are all christians, so are we. You do your share towards supporting the gov ernment of the conntry, so do we. In short we are just as good citizens as you are, then why thoso dirty slings and insinuations. We aim to follow the example of tho same meek and lowly Jesus that you do, then why so ready to believe us guilty of any crime that petty spite or malice may circulate. With regard to the statement emanating from "Keiser" himself, I have no doubt that he would like the whipping post re vived. Oh, yes, by all means. It came from England. While we are about it let us have the guns, cannons from which the "seapoys" weire shot on "Apolo Bunda" Bombay and the dynamite that blew up five hundred women and children in "Zulu Land." Let us follow out this' idea 'a little further and enact over againthe English method of civilization in In dia. I ask your forbearance, Mr. Editor, and will only add a few more 1 lines to the effect that my wife was taken suddenly ill; that I called; In W. N. Powell, M. D., who attended her during her illness, and who, I think, will be able to'satlsfy any one who calls on him at his office, that the statement, in the Democrat is utterly false and without foundation; John Stavice.
