Touching our proposition that the
man who is to be Tan Wyck's com
petitor for the U. S. Senate should
make a stumping tour of the state
with him, the Omaha Republican
says:
"As the candidates against Van
Wyck nnmber thirty or forty already,
the scheme seems impracticable.
However, the Republican ha6 no ob
jection to the stumping tour, and
suggests that the Hon. E. K. Valen
tine be selected by 'the men who are
to be Van Wyck's opponents' as
their representative,"
Wenow add to our other suggest
ion that, if it is such a supremely
important matter to defeat Van
Wyck's re-election (as the Republican
6eems to think) it is but a bit of just
ice to the great body of citizens who
believe that the senior senator from
Nebraska has done excellently well
in his office, that this opposition
come to a head in the person of some
one individual, so that tho contest
can be made on an intelligent basis,
and made before the people them
selves, in a series of discussions.
Political contests have been conduct
ed too much in the dark. Let the
Republicans of this state, among
whom there ib, on some questions, a
very marked difference of opinion,
draw the line, fairly and squarely,
and decide in the same positive
manner. If E.K. Valentine is the
preferred candidato in oppositi on to
Van Wyck, let him step upon tho
platform, but we incline r to think
that the Republican is not 6eriona in
seeming to havo its readers infer
that Valentino is, at this time, a pos
sible candidate tor the senate he
will hardly be taken from the north
Platte country. Wo rather suppose
that the Republican's preferred can
didate is a certain gentleman in the
south Platto country whoso duplici
ty alone defeated him in a former
contest for this place, and the recol
lection of which will come up in any
future effort of bis to add to his re
nown as a "statesman." The geutle
man who was never known to be a
candidate for an office until he had
"worked up" his chances to a certain
success before tho nominating con
vention, is hardly the man to pit
against Van Wyck who is outspoken,
plucky, and, in a contest, aggressive
and fearless.
Let the Rejntblican take tho manly
stand on this question. It is regarded
as ono of the leaders (we fraukly say
the ablest expoue'nt in the state, of its
side of the controversy between the
two wingB of the republican party) ;
let it boldly declare (after canvassing
the subject, if thought advisable)
who, of all those already named or
among the thousand worthies un
named, is probably the best able to
enter tho contest with a show of suc
cess, and with honor to himself and
benefit to the people of Nebraska, ami
let tho man thus named and the
senior scnalor discuss thoroughly
the undoubted differences between
the two wings of the party, and so
the people, if they then see fit, can
select their representatives and state
senators with reference to these dif
ferences, or they can make their se
lection on what they may regard as
more vital considerations.
The wonderful number of crimes
committed in the United States and
also in other countries tho past year,
bothers nearly all classes of people
to explain the cause. Every one
would suppose, now that the op
portunity to obtain a good education
is far better than at any former
period of the history of the human
race, and that intelligence secured
thereby, would insure to those en
joying it a greater respect for, and
observance of tho laws of tho coun
try. But it would seem that educa
tion and law had no effect on check
ing crime. Some folk 6 now begin to
believe that tho matter is explained
in the "Book of Books," where it
speaks of an angel coming down
from heaven with a great chain in
his hand, and bound Satan a thousand
eirs. These folks in their ex
planation of the wonderful amount
of crime believe that the thousand
years have cxpirod, and that Satan
has been let out of his prison. Tho
book says, "and wbon the thousand
years arc expired, Satan shall be
loosed out of his prison, and go out
to deceive the nations which are in
tho fonr quarters of the earth."
A short time ago, a Iriend of mine,
a ranchman in Douglas county, suf
fered terribly from cramp colic, and
was nearly crazy when I stopped at
his ranch. I at once took out a bottle
of Chamberlin's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and gave him two
small doses, relieviug him almost
instantly, and perhaps saving his
life. It now forms one of his prin
cipal stand-bys. It has saved me and
my family much pain aud suffering,
and 1 wonld not be without this
great Remedy for any consideration.

Ik the United States there are re
maining about 200,000,000 acres of
pnblic land for the use of the coming
generation of men. At the same rate
of disposal of the last year only ten
years more of such reckless and
prodigal fritteripg away of tho na
tion's domain will bo necessary in
order to reach the end. Daring the
last year 20,113,663 teres were swept
off.ths list of tree lands. The waste
of the people's birthright cannot long
go ob at this fearful rate of expenditure.

Boing a reader of the Journal and
noting the much talked of improve
ments, such as electric light, water
works, railroad extention, etc., I beg
leave to say that in my opinion the
Columbus flouring mills should be
placed at the head of the list. It is
what the town has lung uccded, and
it is not only a benefit to the citizens
of Celnmbus, but to tho surrounding
community also. I have heard sev
eral persons in this vicinity (especi
ally ladies) speak of the superior
quality of the flour, saying they
could not make poor bread from it,
and as I have had considerable ex
perience in bread making I can fully
agree with them in this matter.
Since the days of Noah down to this
nineteenth century, the demand for
bread has been on the increase, and
the frequent mention ot it in Scripture
proves it to be an important article
of food. We might do without some
of the modern improvements, but we
must have the staff of life. All good
housewives kuow the value of first
class bread and husbands are not
slow in their appreciation of this one
home comfort. No wonder the
people are ready to welcome a grist
mill, and I will say in conclusion,
May prosperity attend the efforts of
tboso who locate good mills in Co
lumbus or elsewhere.

For thirty- seven years I have been
afflicted -with scrofula. I had
scrofulous sore eyes and white swel
ling in one knee and ulcers on both
legs. My legs troubled mo for
thirty-four years, more or less, and
twice mortification set in. I changed
doctors twelve times during that
period but received no permanent
benefit from their treatment. I
spent all the money I could get, and
almost gave up in despair, for I grew
worse continually. About four or
five years ago I commenced to take
Swift's Specific. My strength began
to improve with the first bottle. I
have taken in all about forty bottle".
My legs, which were a mass of sores
for more than thirty ycars-nre now
entirely cured up, aud have been for
three years. I feel strong and
healthy, and am to-day sound and
