WEDNESDAY, APBIL 7,1886.
"Hokebt partisanship it honest cit
iaenskip." Senator Spooner.
Ex-Fbxsideht Abthuk's health has
improved the past week. He is not
yet able to leave the house.
An exchange calls, upon the senate
to demand the papers in the case the
rumor that President Cleveland is to
be married.
The Nebraska City saloon keepers
have all signed an agreement not to
ell any liquor to any man who is
known to have signed the temperance
pledge.
There is a very general agreement
that the Secretary of the Treasury
will never resume the onerous duties
of his office. The strain has been too
great for him, and he cannot return
to it without imperiling his life.
Mrs. Bruns and Miss Nina Brans,
her young daughter, whose home is
at Niobrara, Neb., mysteriously dis
appeared from Chicago sometime last
January, and have not been heard
from since, nor have they put in an
appearance at their Niobrara home.
The President has relieved Brig.
Gen. Crook from the command of the
department of Arizona and assigned
him to the department of the Platte.
Brig. Gen. N. A. Miles, now in com
mand of the department of the Mis
souri, has been assigned to the de
partment of Arizona.
The speech of Hon. John C. Spooner
of Wisconsin in the Senate March 18
and 19, on the relations between the
senate and executive departments is
well worthy of study by politicial
students. It is a clear, logical state
ment, and a patriotic protest against
the position of President Cleveland.
A SMALL fire occurred the other
morning at Edgar, Neb., burning the
house of J. P. Nelson, valued at
800. Mrs. MoBholder, tenant, suc
ceeded in saving most of the house
hold goods though in a much damaged
condition. The prompt and heroic
work of citizens prevented the fire
from spreading and resulting in a
disastrous fire to the town.
Senator Manderson's bill appro
priating $200,000 for the sale or the
present site and buildings thereon of
Fort Omaha and tho securing of a
new site within ten miles of Omaha
and the erection of buildings thereon
for a twelve-company post, is likely
to become a law. Omaha is growing
very rapidly, her success being due to
the enterprise of her citizens.
A. J. Anderson, a Swede, whose
body wsb found the other morning
just east of Boyd's packing house at
Omaha, it appears committed suicide
by cutting his throat with a razor.
From a ticket and papers in his
possession he was on his way to
Scandla, Republican county, Kansas,
where he has a half brother by the
name of A. P. Aspergen living.
The Omaha Republican says:
"Charley Mathewson has been a bank
rupt for ten years. He wsb not ruin
ed by cards, wine or women. He was
ruined in character by a desire to
make a big show on a small capital.
When disclosure became immanent
he departed. The wonder is that he
pulled the Wool over the eyes of his
friends and acquaintances so long."
There are now upwards of 2,000
persons employed in the Treasury
building, and investigation shows
that at least one thousand visitors are
in the department during the day on
business. In order to provide pure
sir it-is proposed to place fans at the
four interior corners of the sob
basement and force the fresh air up
into the rooms by means of flues or
pipes.
The Agricultural Department at
Washington City has issued a caution
to farmers against the designs of a lot
of impostors who are engaged in a
systematic effort to impose upon them
by the sale of worthless seeds. Far
mers cannot be too closely upon the
watch to detect bad soeds. We learn
that already in several of tbe States
arrangements have been made to sell
and distribute such worthless seeds.
Fairbdrt Gazette has this item:
"We were shown an interesting relic
a few days ago by Wm. Lowe. It
was an issne of the first paper pub
lished in Ohio, the Belmont Journal,
published at St. Clairsvillo, Aug. 7th,
1819. It was a small affair and yel
low with age." We have many dis
tinct remembrances of events that
happened at that old town. The
Gazette should havo given the name
of the editor.
There has just been an investigation
of the sanitary condition U. S. Treas
ury building, and it is. pronounced
deplorable and dangerous, a veritable
hot bed of disease. Congress will be
asked for at least $100,000 to remedy
the evil. At present Congress allows
$15,000 a year for repairs about the
Treasury, and this sum is speedily
exhausted in minor repairs, and very
little can be utilized for improving
the sanitary condition of affairs.
The recent State Teachers' Associa
tion held at Lincoln had a large at
tendance, and its proceedings throngh
nt were of a very interesting
character. Some of the papers read
ad subjects discussed showed ability
si have been spoken of in the
bighasi terms of praise. The paper
read m the 1st inst, by Miss Hosv
ford, of North Platte, received the
highest praise. Jamer, Saperiatea
deat of the Omaha schools, was
alected president for the ensuing
year, Miss Greenlee, of Richardson
caaaty, recording secretary, and Miss
Hewitt, of. Kearney, eorraspaading
Lincoln was aeleatad as

We took occasion last week to say
that according to some of onr demo
cratic cotemporaries it would seem to
make little difference to the business
of this country what political party is
in'power, and that the mere assertion
of such a doctrine by them will not
save democracy from the wrath of the
business men.
This remark has. stirred the breth
ren to unwonted activity, and even
our friend D. Frank Davis thinks
that "Brother Moses" "never lets an
opportunity to bowl slip' Of course
anything said by republicans againBt
she supremacy of democratic meas
ures and democratic men would be
regarded by "brother D. Frank" as a
"howl."
People generally think it does make
a difference on business ; people,-gen-erally,
know that when an adminis
tration of this great government
changes from one political party to
another, it does make a difference
more difference than tho mere change
of paying a salary to A. or to B. Tho
last democratic administration (Bu
chanan) so reeked with treason that
Pierce's was, by comparison (but by
comparison only with Buchanan)
somewhat creditable. It may suit
"our brother D. Frank" to say that it
makes no difference on business
whether this country shall have at
the head of its affairs, holding the
purse of the nation, conserving all
interests, determining the character
of her representatives abroad, shaping
the policies that lead to business pros
perity or business failnre, men who
are in consonance with tho progres
sive spirit of tho age, or those who
look backward continually, and cling
with tenacity to evil methods of
political action.
The Journal is very much assured
that the country is not in need of offi
cials who think it makes no difference
to the business of the country which
political party is in power. It has
made a difference and it always will
make a difference The atmosphere
of civil and religions liberty is so
permeating in this country that it
affects every breathing soul. The
country's progress may be stayed by
tho chance success of a reactionary
political party, now and again, but
that progress cannot bo long delayed.
It will overrido all opposing' elements,
and demonstrate even to blind parti
sans that it does make a difference
what political party is in power.
The blind Chaplain of tho House
of Representatives is attracting
marked attention to his morning
prayers these days. In ono invoca
tion he denounces blood and pomp
and beseeches the Lord to onable tho
intelligent men and women of the
land to comprehend that in this Re
publican country there can be no
privileged class, and that in this ago
no aristocracy can be built on the
fable of blood, Norman, Guelph or
Ghibellene. In another he aBks God
to rid tho laud of gamesters and
itemizes their transgressions as
gamblings in cards or dice or chips or
stock, wheat or cotton. Then he
conveys to tho "God of Jacob" in
formation concerning the strikes and
depicts the scenes of horror that may
be enacted in every Capitol of Europe
and America. He wanted the rich
men of the world roused to under
stand that the time has come for
grinding monopoly to cease, and for
corporations to get souls in them,
consciences and' human kindness.
Dr. Milburn's style of prayer recently
is by no means popular with all the
Congressmen. Mr. James, a member
from N. Y., objected to this last
petition being printed in the Con
gressional Record, characterizing it
sotto voce an "incendiary speech.
Apropos of the organization at
Lincoln of a Woman's Christian Asso
ciation, the Journal remarks :
"As a matter of fact, the young
women who go wrong have in nine
cases out of ten a better, ground of
complaint against society as accessory
to their failure in life than young men
who go wrong. Not so many young
women are thrown upon the world
and their own resources for a living
as of the other sex, but thousands are
so thrown every year in every large
city and the avenues are few and the
opportunity to push their fortunes
promptly are far between. A little
help and encouragement from their
own sex would generally preserve to
society and usefulness those who now
fall by tbe wayside. It is more espe
cially an important work for tbe rea
son that when a youug man tumbles
in the ditch he is picked up, washed,
renovated, and set on his feet again,
society generally asking pardon for
tbe ditch. When a young woman
fails she isn't picked up and renovat
ed to any appreciable extent and
society never thinks of apologizing.
Hence it is better to guard her a little
in the outset."
News from the great strike at St.
Louis and other points up to the 30th
ult. givee no evidence of an improve
ment in the situation. At cast St.
Louis the transfer men had joined the
strike and the moving of trains stop
ped. At Kansas City a train had been
ditched by Martin Scow and James
Noonan, two strikers, which after an
exciting chase and some shooting, re
sulted in the capture of both men by
the officers. Noonan refused to obey
the officer to hault, and he shot him
in tbe leg which bronght him to a
sodden stop. On the 3d, a conflict
took place at Fort Worth in which
three men were killed, and several
wounded.
The crime of drunkenness is being
recognized in more states than Ne
braska. No reasonable man will
affirm that any one has any sort of
right to get drunk, and there the
ordinary citizen will draw the line.
At Pittsburg, Pa., recently, Jndge
Ewing, Jn reviewing a case before
him, said : "The man who sells liqnor
to as habitual drunkard, knowing him
to be such, Ib worse to the community
than a thief." When this sentiment
becomes thoroughly ingrained ioto
tbe better of a community, and is car
ried into action, the evils of drunken
aeas will be vary greatly lessened, if
as
The investigation of the Graham
tragedy at Springfield, Mo., proceeds
slowly on account of the ill health of
Mrs. Malloy, one of the suspected
parties, who had something to do
with the murder of Mrs. Graham the
first wife of George E. Graham. . Tho
testimony on the 26th ult, disclosed
tbe fact that Mrs. Malloy bad used
her influence and finally succeeded in
getting the bank officers to permit
her to mako good their loss and not
prosecute Graham for the forgery.
The witness stated that she was very
much agitated, an anxiety to shield
Graham seeming uppermost. She
made the statement that Graham was
not in his right mind when he did it,
and that there was something behind
it all that drove him to commit the
forgery ; that he never would be ar
rested alive; that he carried poison
on his person, and would commit
suicide before submitting to arrest.
Mrs, Malloy asked Mr. McElhaney,
cashier of the First National Bank,
for a private audience to be held at
the bank, at which only a few of her
most intimate friends were to be
present. At this audience Mrs. Mal
loy disclosed the fact that Graham
bad a wife in Indiana when he mar
ried Cora Lee ; that she was missing,
and that the Malloy honsehold was
being sharply interrogated by his first
wife's relatives in Indiana as to her
whereabouts, and that to escape this
Graham had forged the checks. She
aUo stated in ' this confidential in
terview that Sarah Graham came of a
low family, and that she could at that
time be found in some bawdy house
in St. Louis. The restaurant keeper
where Graham confessed he and his
wife took supper, testifies that there
were two women in the room that
evening, only one of whom took sup
per, but Graham seemed to have out
door interviews with the one that
was deeply veiled, whom tho witness
described in size aud height cor
responds with Cora Lee Graham, the
second wife of George E. Graham.
This testimony in part discloses the
theory of the state that by arrange
ment that evening Cora Leo Graham,
the second wife, camo in with the
spring wagon to take the trusting
first wifo out to tho Mrs. Malloy's
premises, and was ehot in the wagon
while on tbe road, and afterwards
concealed in tbe old well on tbe Mrs.
Malloy farm.
A special dispatch from Spring
field, Mo., announces the fact of tho
close of the preliminary examination
of Cora Lee Graham and Mrs. Mol
Ioy, for tbe murder of Mrs. Graham.
The justices decided that Cora Lee
was accessary to the crime beforo the
fact and 'that she bo held without bail,
and that Mrs. Molloy was accessary
after the fact and be held in $5,000
bonds. The court room was densely
crowded and the decision gave gen
eral satisfaction. Tbe women re
ceived the final result quietly.
A report comes from McCook,
Neb., that the boiler in the bath room

roof and shattered he building. The
largest piece of the boiler in its de
scent crashed throngh the roof of the
Democrat office across the street, leav
ing it a total wreck and striking and

A terrirle tragedy was enacted
the other night at Carroll ton, Miss.,

white men rode into the town, went
to the court bouse and shot ten of tbe
colored men dead and mortally
wonnded the other three.
Mr. F. W. Bridwell, the Waco,

well, his wife, and Miss Wellington,
but the legal profession is puzzled to
determine his offense under the law.
His wifo can alone settle the question
by applying for a divorce.

an indispensable book for all who are,
or expect to be, interested in public
land. Settlers will save money by
purchasing it, and al! who expect to
take up land should get posted on the
several lawB under which land can be
entered. A chapter, illustrated with
numerous cuts, shows how to tell
township, section, and quarter-section
corners, and explains the syctem of
surveys. It gives Commissioner
Sparks' orders and several late decis
ions and instructions, and full infor
mation abont the homestead, pre
emption, timber culture, dosert land,
and other laws. Tho prico of the
book is only 25 cents.
It will tell you who ia entitled to
enter laud ; how continuous your res
idence must be; what improvements
you must make; what affidavits you
must swear tO; all abont contests and
on what grounds they can be com
menced ; also about State lands, stone
and timber lands, mineral lands, des
ert entries, saline, railroads, eoal,
townsitc, and other lands ; scrip, war
rant, aud other entries, &c. Its pur
chase will save you money and
trouble, as erroneous statements cir
culated by conversation among set
tlcrt may, if acted upon, cost yon a
content, perhaps your land and im
provements. Mr. Copp wishes to ecuro the ad

In 1863 a cancer doveloped on my
lower lip. I wont uuder treatment
at once, and from time to time since
that have had medical aid in New
Orleans, Boston and Now York, with
no benefit at all. It has progressed
right along, &nd now involves my jaw
and cheek. One thousand dollars
would not cover the loss sustained
through the modical and surgical aid
I havo received. I have certainly
tried everything and was benefitted
by nothing until I took S. S. S. It
has done me more good than all else
put together, and I believe I will soon
be sound and well. Swift's Specific
certainly a great boon to humanity.
