Tae Liur Qaeatlaa.
In nearly every town in Nebraska,
this year the question of prohibition
or license has come up in the elec
tion of town officers. This haB been
done according to a preconcerted
move by the prohibition party, which
seeks to override every other issue in
county, state and national politics.
Those opposed to prohibition, in
the sense in which it is advocated,
will see the propriety of taking their
stand upon the law now on our
statute books. When you talk with
a prohibitionist about enforcing the
present law, he usually tells you he is
not interested in that, ho is not res
ponsible for it, and that prohibi
tionists cannot be called upon as par
ticularly friendly to its enforcement.
This is not sound doctrine. No good
citizen wilfully, premeditatedly dis
obeys the law. If each citizen were
to declare that he would conform to
such laws only as suited his own con
venience, pleasure and interest, and
be allowed so to do, to the detriment
of community, this nation would be
a multitude of sand bags and nothing
else. Every officer is sworn to en
force tho law, and can, conscien
cioualy, do no otherwise. Let all
those who believe that prohibition
will not prohibit; all who believe
that the best way to regulate the
traffic is our present system of high
license with a strict enforcement of
the law, in the very letter and spirit
of it, stand by tho city officials, while
they do their fall duty.
American citizens are full of pride
for those of their number who do
their duty wherever they are placed.
Enforce the law.
A fire broke out the other morn
ing in John Paul's and Charles L.

Near West Deorfleld Mass., a train
on the Fitchburg railroad tho other
night plunged down a 200 foot em
bankment. A large number of per
sons were injured and killed. Nine
bodies have already been taken out of
the ruins, and it is not known how

where the accident occurred is the
most dangerous on the road. The
train runs on the edge of an embank
ment 200 feet above Deerfield river.
Tho bank is steep, and is covered with
huge bowlders and masses of rock.
When the train arrived at this point,
the track commenced to settle under
it for a distance covering its entire
length. The coaches broke from
their trucks and went rolling over
and over down the precipice. As
soon as tho cars struck they caught
fire from the stoves. Tho sleeping
car was an entire wreck. Tho wreck,
wounded and killed were a fearful
sight to look upon.

near Buffalo, and extended north into
Canada, and south, covering Cleve
land, Pittsburg, Detroit, Cincinnati
and even south of tho Ohio river. If
these storms continue to visit the
eastern states much longer, they will
not be styled the gentle zephyrs from
Nebraska, but will be called blizzards,
cyclones and every other frightful
name.
At 3 o'clock the other morning the
alarm of fire was given in the rear
portion of the Planter's Houbo, St.

Things are growing lively. Sttikes

cendiary fires in East St. Lonis, free
silver coinage and the proposition to
suspend silver coinage knocked high
er than a k ite, and Mexico 'pension
bill passed, creaee considerable ex
citment, and non-exciting things are
forced. The Howe Judiciary Com
mittee will report in favor of repeal
ing the law prohibiting disloyal men
from rceiving pencions. This is the
first step to make loyalty odious and
treason respectable. The Confeder
acy is in the saddle sure enough.

Tho defeat of Logan's bill for the
increase aud efficiency of the army,
is much to bo regretted, not only on
account of the bill's merits, but be
cause of tho bitterness manifested by
the ex-rebels in the Seuate in trying
to tack on an amendment to repeal
section 1,218 of tbe Reserve Statutes,
prohibiting tho appointment of any
man who served in the Confcdeate
army to a place in the army of the
United States. Not only this, but
the greatest iojustico was done to
Gen. Logan by republican opponents
in impugning his motives in urging
tho measure. It would have doue
any true patriot good to have heard
Logau's speech last week in which
occured the following:
"Sir," said Mr Logan, "if I had the
power, which I have not, and do not
evor expect to have or exorcise, but
it is in the American people and
there it rests if 1 should wield it
to-day no American citizen would lie
rotting in the dungeon of any for
eign power without having his case
examined and fairly treated. Loud
applause in tbe gallery. Sir, I would
use the power of the American peo
ple against Spain or England, or any
other power, to protect the American
citizen."
The event of tho week, however,
was the reversal of Commissioner
Sparks' order of April 3d, 1885, and
it is said this action will result in his
resignation, or his removal if he dis
obeys the mandate of Secretary La
mar. To understand how unju9t tho
order was, and how important to the
Northwestern States, it is only nec
essary to givo tho words of the
rescinded. They read :
"Final action in this office upon all
entries of the public lands, except
private cash entries and such scrip
locations as are not dependent upon
acts of settlement and cultivation, is

Ed. Jouunal: Under the abovo
heading I wish to lay before the tax
payers of Platto county a few facts
for their consideration, and I hope,
protest." iu regard to "the unjust,
illegal bills that our supervisors have
voted upou themselves and their res
pective town-?, from time to time, and
nearly always contrary to their own
convictions and reason, but becauso
some professional lawyer has given
an opinion to the opposite of their
reason and judgment. Thoy almost
always have submitted, simply for the
want of back bone. The following
acts aro referred to : Two years ago
tbe board got into a wrauglo as to
who should pay tbe assessor for his
service as assessor, the town or the
county. Some claimed that be is a
town officer, and therefore must be
paid by the town ; others that be is
a town officer at such times only as
his service was required to sit at town
boards, which the law has provided
for in case the regular board was not
all present The bill of tho assessor
was referred froi:- r-unty to town
boar'd for payment, -.ml from town to
county board on:', a professional law
yer gave it as his opinion that the
assessor wai a town officer and must
bo paid by (he town. On that opin
ion our bmvu, stalwart, big two-fisted,
farmer board of supervisors sub
mitted and paid out from each town
levy their respective bills amounting
to from $75 to $150, when they needed
every dollar and more with it, to re
pair their roads anu bridges, and
while, at tho amo time, the county
had made its usual large levy, and had
plenty of funds provided to meet
these previously admitted obligations.
To show that tho legislature never
contemplated or intended that the
assessor was a town officer and to re
ceivo his pay from the town, except
when ho is called in as n member of
the board, I refer to the session of
18S5 when tho old law was re-enacted
with the addition of two dollars and
mileage for making his rotuniB to tho
county dork, all paid by the county,
and therefore have set at rest that
question. Nov., In make raoretroublo
and expense to the towns, there has
been another unjust, unreasonable,
unlawful move made and accepted
bj our brnvi. stalwart supervisors, or
a majority of I hem, to pay the bills of
judges and clerks of election as iu tho
opiniou of their attorney, they, the
judges and dorks of election, are town
officers, and therefore must be paid
by the town. How is it possiblo that
our supervisors cau be gulled in any
such belief? It is an insult to the
nativo sense of our supervisors. Tbe
acts of tho legislature of 18S3, contain
ing the town organization law as
enacted there, naB also a provision
for tho pay of judges and clerks of
election by tbe county, Laws of Ne
braska, 1883, page 228, Chapt. XLIV.
The laws of 1885 have fixed the limit
of town levies for all purposes at
seven mills, which, for some towns,
like Sherman, Bismark and Shell
Creek, is too small, from the fact that
our bridges and roads are numerous
and expensive, and we are in some
cases compelled to go on credit for
repair of the same ; then, to be sad
dled with unlawful and unjust bills,
should arouse the firm protest of all
tax payers. If there is no other way
to rectify these matters, let us unite
and prosecute them up to the supreme
court. "Let justice be done, though
the heavens fall." The next move
that is mado it will, perhaps, be claim
ed that tho supervisor, being a town
officer, must be paid by the town for
all services as an officer. Why not
one as well as tho other? In refer
ence to the fees of judges and clerks
of election tho law says that the
judges and clerks of election, also the
board of canvassers for the county at
all general elections, shall receive the
following pay: For each day's ser
vice each person snail receive two
dollars. Tho person making the re
turns of the olection to the county
clerk shall receive the additional sum
of five cents for each mile necessarily
traveled, &c. Now if it is tho duty
of the town to pay the bills of the
judges and clerks of election, why not
also the board of canvassers? The
law makes no distinction as regards
tho source of their pay, certainly the
towns must pay all or nothing under
this law. Therefore let us insist on
justice and law and not on one man's
prejudiced opinion.

I believe chango is tho rule In all

This usually quiet settlement seems
to be in a strange state of chansro
this spring, many of tho old resid
ents have sold their farms and gone
to find either warmer or cheaper
homes, you may judge how much we
have lost severally, I will tell you

F. F. Clark, F. moving onto Darius'

E. E. Moran has gono west to grow

moved on the McCandlisb place
which Moran vacated. -
The new R. R. is occupying a large
share of public attention, interest
being stimulated by tho presence of
the contractors with their outfit and
workmen ; they have put up three
tcuts and sheds and put down a well
on section 1C ; thoy would havo been
at work before this if the last snow
had not delayed their operations, but
that is rapidly disappearing and we
may soon expect great activity. Tbe
next question is when will the town

I have been troubled with eczema
of my face for the past three years
and a half. My entire face was
covered with it, and it rendered me
so conspicuous that it was unpleasant
to appear in public. I consulted the
ablest physicians in tho city, among
others a celebrated specialist in
diseases of the skin, who treated me
during tbo first winter without the
slightest perceptible benefit. I then
tried the sulphur treatment and
various advertised medicines with
littlo or no effect. I visited several
springs inclnding tho Hot Springs of
Arkansas, during the succeeding two
years. At the latter point I placed
myself under treatment of one of the
leading physicians. Although my
general health was greatly improved,
the springs failed to accomplish tho
obiect of mv visit. The eczema still
clung to me, and was a great source
of inconvenience and discomfort.
After returning east fully convinced
that I would find no remedy, an ac
quaintance, who said that she herself
had been raised from bed and enred
of scrofula by S. S. S., so strongly
advised me to try it that I began,
with little faith on my own part and

We are glad to know the damage
of high water is nearly over for this
spring, m all the streams have been
so high as to render travel unsafe,
and quite a number of accidents have
occured in this vicinity. Mr. B.
Sutton came near loosing his team
in attempting to cross the Looking
glass creek, and only saved them by
swimming himself and team quite a
distance.
The snow is all gono at last, and
the ground is fast drying; farmers
hopo soon to be able to commence
spring work. The oldest in habitants
all unite in asserting that they never
saw such weather as we have had
for the past fow weeks, and we hear
a great many conjectural as to the
cause ; some attribute IV to the com
motion t caused by Bose Cleveland's
book, others to "Innocuous desue
tude," and some have gone so far as
to stato it as their, belief that the
commotion in the elements is tho re
sult of a democratic administration,
bo that as it may we sincerely
hone the case mav be removed and
we may enjoy the gentle breezes of
spring. T. D. X.
