Whenever you find a maa or a
newspaper that denounces Senator
Tan Wyck on any aBd on all occas
ions yon can rest assured that the
newspaper and the man are for rail
roads as against the people: So far
as we have noticed, the General has
come nearer to saying what the peo
pie are thinking than any' other man
in Washington City, and it seems like
a. severely small and mean thing in
Nebraska newspapers to be carping
at the General and trying to belittle
him in the eyes of Nebraskaas. The
great metropolitan dailies of the east
acknowledge the service which Tan
Wyck is doing the country, and are
not slow to recognize his worth.
Even the Chicago Times, an inde
pendent paper with democratic pro
clivities, having nothing In common
with our senior. Senator, has this
to say:
"On behalf of the nation, on behalf
of honest and worthy men in a-polfri-cal
Bociety of sixty millions the Times
thanks first the Senator from Nebras
ka, '(Mr. Tan Wyck) and secondly the
other Senators and Representatives
who have in good faith, and without
any mental reservation, pronounced
the national veto-on the most bold and
iniquitous attempt at land piracy that
has scandalized thii country."

Readers of The Herald will bear
out its management in the assertion
that its affairs have seldom been in
truded npon its columns. It has pro
ceeded in its appointed work modest
ly and quietly. Boasting has been no
part of its methods. It baa made its
own way decently and in order, and
from having been a venture has be
come an establishment. That the
publication, though the youngest of
the morning dailies, has steadily
grown in popular favor The Herald
itself has the best of reasons for
knowing. -It now makes and is pre
pared to maintain the claim that it
has the largest morning circulation in
Chicago. If this statement should be
disputed The Hebald, confident from
its own' careful examination of the
situation,-will demonstrate its accu
racy to any comer who has an obvi
ous interest in ascertaining the facts.
It will exhibit its circulation with any
contemporary caring to make the
test. The sales of dealer for dealer,
newsboy for newsboy, carrier for car
rier, street for 6treet, suburb for sub
urb will gladly be shown. In such a
comparison the character as well as
the number of circulation will be seen.
Except in very severe weather,
which affects all newspaper sales, The
Herald is making a daily increase in
its output and has good reason to be
lieve the day is near at hand when it
will outnumber its contemporaries in
this city two to one. Chicago Her

hear some officer say that bis dnty

complaint of violation of the law.
This has always seemed a yery
strange doctrine for an official to
promulgate with reference to the
commission of crime or misde
meanors, but "we believe it is only
made (not through ignorance on the
part of the officials) but by way of
slim excuse for not doing what may
be a disagreeable datyl Tho Madison
Chronicle, referring to this subject,
says that somo time ago it took the
position "that an official should take
an oath to enforce the laws, and
failing to do his doty rfhouhl be' 'sent
up' lor perjury," and notices that
Judge Monroe of Des Moines, has
.taken a similar .position with re
ference to the enforcement of the
prohibitory -law of that state; that a
city official who sees the law -violated
without arresting or causing the
arrest of- the violator, is himself
criminal and ought' to be fined and
punished. " ' ' '
A terrible double murder occur
red the other night near Bond's
Mills, a-wayside postoffice in Wise
county,"Va.' Some time in February
last a young couple named Mr. Hen

got married, greatly to the chagrin of
a suitor, of the young lady named
Mitchell,t who. claims; to have been
engaged to the girl. After their re
turn Home the parties, met at a dance
. given by the young lady's parents
and Mitchell got drank, quarrelled
with Hehfon and grossly insulted the
bride. ' The new husband knocked
Mitchell down, anda desperate fight
ensued, and the party broke np in a
row. The next evening the newly
married couple attended a spelling
match held in a school house not far
away. Failing to reach their home,
search waB made for them, and their
bodies were found next morning at a
lonely spot. Each had been killed by
a piBtol shot. They were also beat in
a horrible manner and the flesh torn

The democrats who expected a
sodden jipheavel of the political
strata on the Fourth of March and a
sadden filling of vacancies by Cleve
land's potent "-' commissioners have
beea somewhat abashed, and- are
beginning to wonder when the time
will come. We should say that one
year is the least length of time that
could reasonably be, allowed for the

It has been thought that Platte
county for several years has been pay
ing an undue proportion of taxes. It
seems that this is not true. It is a
fact that our valuation on land and
stock has been lower than some of
our neighboring counties, but tho
State Board of Equalization, to reme
dy that, placed on us a higher levy.
A uniform valuation wonld give a
uniform levy, but a low valuation can
only be adjusted by a higher levy.

Am Oawm abetter- se Mr. Jska
Walker.
Denver, Colo, March 10th '85.
Dear Sir: Regarding your hint on
the Township law, as it works-ia St.
Bernard Township, I will state that
as you were County 'Commissioner
for one term, aud became pretty well
familiar with, the law regulating
county government, you are probably
in a position to make some good
suggestion with reference to the ex
isting laws on this all important
topic, and therefore suggest that yotT
let your light shine. ;
I agreethal any system:of govern
ment, local- or otherwise,-, which
makes taxes bo high as to. .reader,
property, particularly real? estate, a
burdensome possession, is not a wise
one, and Bhould-be abolished. Tu'e
reason I have advocated the town
ship plan is because I regarded it the
best school, yet devised for the
masses, on the' principles of republic
can' government, in order that the
people might familiarize themselves
with the laws aud transact their
business concerning their local affairs,
near heir own homes.
The boys o: Rome" were required to
learn the laws of the Twelve Tables
and we are told that "men are .only
boys grown tall." If we'admit that
rulers are the servants of the people,
bow are the latter to know that the
former perform their trust, unless
they are iamiliar with, their duties ?
The great question for Platte county
to solve just now, is bow .to reduce
taxation, so as to give her people a
"fighting chance." Let the writer
give.you a few 4'pointerr." 1st. 'Re
duce your expenses in every possible
way. 2d. Collect your taxes with
out discrimination. 3d. Encourage
good citizens to locate among you,
who are willing, with their labor or
capital, or both, to assist in lightening
your burdens.
Now John, "honor bright," don't
you think that even the present
Township. law, with its defects, has
set the people to investigating in a
way which they never did before its
adoption?"- You are too intelligent
to charge townshiporganization, even
in St. Bernard; with the county's old
debts, and ' school taxes. What is
there so peculiar about St. Bernard
that is different from tho rest of the
county? Give us light and let us Bee
if there can some "good thing come
out of Nazareth."
Yours very truly,
,BVRON MlLLETT.
