The Norfolk Neics reads the Omaha
Republican one of the severest lessons
ever we remember seeing, over its
misrepresentations concerning the
attitude of Norfolk people, towards
the selection of Senator Van Wyck as
the orator on the Fourth. It seems
very 6trange that the Republican
should so falsi I v matter.
Gen. Grant's physician ncknowlj
edges that the end ot the GeneralV
life appears to he approachiug, but
When it may occur no oue cad fore-
. tell. Iu'orroation has got out from
Mt. .McGregor, in some way, that
Grant's cancer ha? begun to inflame
. the jugular -vein, and death is a ques
tion of only a few day. Since con
tradicted. Thieves and burglars at the recent
great gathecing'of people at Lincoln
were plentiful, and plied their calling
industriously. The residence of W.
C. Mills was burglarized and jewelry
of Mrs. Mills carried off valued at
$500. A number of other thefts were
reported and some of the thieves cap
tured, but the chap who succeeded in
. getting the $600 worth of jewelry
made his escape.

The Omaha Herald is trying to
make its democratic 'readers believe
that they need not be without hope,
even in Nebraska. This is said with
special reference to the next election
of U. S. Seaator. "Let us look at the
figures," says the Herald. "A ma
jority of the Nebraska legislature on
joint ballot is 67. Ordinarily demo
crats have elected about half that
number. With a united front, good
organization and harmonious action
it iB more than possible to go into 6ay
thirty of the weaker republican die
districts and clean out the faction-torn
enemy. We mention this thus early
that members of the party may pon
der upon it and decide what is their
duty in the premises."
We call attention of republicans to
this scheme, "thus early, that mem
bers of the party may ponder upon it
and decide what is their duty in the
premises." Of course, it is good gen
eralship to attack an enemy's weak
points, and wc don't wonder at the
Herald's talk "thus early." It is the
opinion of the Journal, however,
that the Herald has uot called atten
tion quite early enough for capturing
the state from the republicans, who
are doubtless occaMonally divided
among themselves, but who cau be a
unit against democratic supremacy in
Nebraska.
Seeing that Miss Maggie M. Bow
ers (whose tame as a teacher of chil
dren has reached beyond the borders
of her own county of Booue) has
closed her school near Cedar Rapids,
it may not be out of place to say that,
with her qualities as an instructor of
youth in learning to read, write and
cipher, she adds the abilities of a dis
ciplinarian, not being unused to ex
treme measure, in extreme cases. At
one of her schools, so our information
rons, she wsb sometime annoyed by
boys of the ruder sort coming to the
school door, knocking and running
away. One day, well along in the
afternoon, knocks on the door dis
tracted the attention of the pupils and
attracted the attention of the teacher,
who qnietly slipped to the door, and
in the very midst of the knocks open
ed it, hurriedly caught the offender
by the head, shook him and pumraeled
him just as a woman and a school
teacher would, and, blows ceasing,
words of course followed not over
gently, when the upturned counte
nance of the raBh offender opened
midway, and wished to know what in
this world he had done to merit snch
treatment. Our information is not
to that degree of certainty to enable
us (o say whether this young man
was her best beau, but his subsequent
treatment by the accomplished teach
er was diflercut, from the knocks at
the door.
Once in awhile duiing the last
twenty years Gen. Grant has been
called "a bloody butcher," a general
with tio line M-uibilitle?, ai:d uo
especial qualification as a gcnerul,
except that having command of over
whelming number?, he kept pound
ing en his enemy until be broke him
to pieces. The following shows what
was the opinion of ids great opponent
Gen. Robt. E. Lee :
"Somebody in his pteet cc had ic
ttrred to Gen. Giunt as a 'military
accident, who had uo distinguishing
merit, but had achieved success
through a combination of fortuuatc
circumstances ' Gen. Lee looked into
the critic's r)e steadily, and said:
'Sir, your opinion is a very poor com
pliment to me. We all thought
Richmond, protected as it was by our
spleudid fortification and defended
by our army veterans, could not be
taken. Yet Grant turned his faco to-
our capital, and never turned it away
until we surrendered. Now, I have
carefully searched the military rec
ords of both ancient and modern his
tory, and have never found Grant's
superior as a general. I doubt if his
superior can be found in all history.'"
The democratic party, as the cam
paigns in Ohio and New York open,
has got to go through the fnrnace of
discussion. Democratic performance
is then going to be compared with
democratic promise, and it is going
to he remorselessly done because
truthfully done. The democratic ad
ministration is to be put into the
balance and weighed at its worth.
That is what the entrance of such
leaders as Blaine into the state cam
paigns this fall meanB. It means that
the stern, hard tests will be applied
with an eucrtrv that will break
through any tigi-ue of pretense that
cau be woven. The election of Gen
eral Logau in Illinois put nerve into
the republican party everywhere.
The appearance of James G. Blaine
on Ihe Ohio stump will be a signal that
the era of lenieucy has passed and Ihe
lime of stern judgment has come.
Sioux City Journal.
Chicago was the scene of a very
foolish strike and riot the other morn
ing. The west division treet car
company seut out cars on its Madison
street line, but the drivers were com
pelled to return to the barns. Fully
1,000 strikers and citizens were assem
bled near the barns and when the
cars came out they were met with a
volley of bricks and stones which
shivered the window panes and caus
ed other wreckage about the cars.
Policemen and deputy sheriffs made
arrests but great crowds of excited
men thronged Madison street and
whether the compauy will attempt to
run their cars agaiu or not until quiet
is restored is not at present known.
"Persons who despair of ever be

So is it with those who despair of

every good purpose is throwu into
the sea of vice. The outmost cur:
rents of the maelstrom are easy to

John Scukam sends us from Seattle
the following scrap clipped, presum
ably, from a Washington newspaper.
It may cause a look at the map by
some one who has been making blun
ders similar to that mentioned. . The
west (west of us) is a very large coun
try, and it is well enough to have it,
in mind, as to the principal features :
"The extent to which Oregon has
claimed the credit for the productions
of Washington Territory has been fre
quently commented upon. We are
used to hearing of the Columbia as an
Oregon river, of Oregon salmon, Ore
gon lumber, Oregon spars, Oregon
mountains, and Oregon fruit and
grain. The density of the Ignorance
of the people of the East in regard to
the geography of the Pacific North
west, however, was never so gener
ally displayed as it has been in the
comments made by the Eastern press
on the appointment of Capt. Beecber
as Collector of Customs at Port
Townsend. His office is invariably
spoken of as an Oregon collectorsbip,
regardless of the fact that Port Town
send is not within a hundred and fifty
miles of Oregon, and that the Customs
District of Puget Sound is entirely
within Washington Territory. What
is most astonishing is the fact that
this lamentable ignorance is displayed
bv such papers as the New York
World, Tribune and Times, the Phil
adelphia Press, the Chicago Tribune,
Ihe Brooklyn Union, and many others
which might be supposed to possess
more accurate knowledge. The Kan
sas City Journal even goes so far as
to locate the headquarters of the dis
tiictat Portland. At the present rate
Puget Souud will soou be spoken of
as au Oregon pond, and Mount Rai
nier as au Oregon hillock."

The Christian Index, Ihe leading
organ of the Baptist church in ihe
south, published in Atlanta, fcJav,.in
its issue of Dec. 4, 1884, has tho .fol
lowing editorial :
Too many peoplo seem to think that
a religious newspaper should bo con
fined to the discussiou of moral and
religious subjects only, forgetting
that religion has to do both with the
bodies and souls of men, "Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good,"
has as much to do with the practical
side of life as it has with the moral
side. Our readers will bear testimoy
that in all questions discussed in the
Index, the practical has been duly set
forth. In this paragraph, therefore,
we only seek to present an article
worthy of commendation. After
subjecting it to the above test we have
tried Swift's Specific and found it
good good as a blood purifier, good
as a health tonic. In this opinion we
are sustained by some of the best men
in the church. Rev. Jesse H. Camp
bell, the Nestor of the Baptist de
nomination in Georgia, says : "It is
my deliberate judgment that Swift's
Specific is the grandest blood purifier
ever discovered. Its effects are won
derful, and I consider them almost
miraculous. There is no medicine
comparable to it." Dr. H. C. Horna
dy, one of the best known ministers
in our church, says : "Swift's Specific
is one of the best blood purifiers in
existence."
These brethren speak advisedly.
But few preparations can bring for
ward such endorsement. The Index
desires only to endorse these statement-:.
We have witnessed the ben
eficial effects of this medicine, not
only in our own houcho(dt, hut in
several other oases where seemingly
all other remedies bad failed. It is
purely a vegetable compound, scien
tifically prepared, and perfectly harm
less in its composition. It renews
the blood and builds up broken dowu
y6ttms gives tone and vigor to the
constitution, as well as restores the
bloom of health to the suffering.
Therefore, we do not deem it' incon
sistent with tho duties of a religious
journal to say this much in its bohalf.
