The people of Nebraska who wish
to secure the re-election of Senator
Van Wyck must be up and doing in
a very effective way, if they expect
to succeed. His opponents are ex
ceedingly active, thoroughly well or
ganized, well-commandent, and they
re persistent. There are, too, so
many ways of working against his
re-election, and yet appearing to
favor it, that his friends should be
careful in every important move
ment they make. It is a safe rule to
adopt. In matters pertaining to the
public, let there bo tbe utmost pub
licity ; there should be no exception
in this case. He who has only the
pnblic welfare in view will avoid any
secrecy. The public have a right to
know what concerns them; it is
easily and evidently a portion of
their business that is about to be
looked after, and the senator or rep
resentative elect who imagines that
the functions of his office can be ex
ercised with indifference on the part
of hi6 constituency as to how their
will shall be voiced by his votes on
important measures, has a poor con
ception of the palpable duties of a
representative of the people's inter
ests, and needs to be taught the a b c
of our system of republican govern
ment. Here is where the work of
the people, as individuals, comes into
play. Tell the editor of your local
paper what you thiuk on public
matters ; his opinion may differ from
yours ; you are not responsible for
that, and it will bo gratifying to him
to meet a man who does bis own
thinking, and says what be thinks.
Public opinion is tbe aggregate of
private opinion. Sit down, aud
write to the editor of tbo local pa
per, or to one of the dailies ot tho
state having a wider circulation,
your opinions, whether they differ
from the policy of tbe paper or not.
If the editor doesn't like what you
say, be will find time to oppose opiu
ion against opinion, argument
against argument ; you may be sure
of doing good, aud possibly whi're
you least expect it.
Talk to your representatives and
senator. None of these gentlemen
but will listen to and consider what
you have to say; we all look at mat
ters from different stand points. Wo
hear, in these time, a great inauy
changes rung on tho words "corrup
tion," "fraud," "selling-out," "brib
ery," "boodle," aud such like expo
nents of feeling towards men in
office. There is entirely too much
talk of this character. As a rule, men
take great pride in making a clear
official record, and the greater the
expectation of a constituency, the
better tbe work of tbe official is likely
to be; if you honestly thiuk so, tell
the men who represent you in public
places, that you approve their course ;
that you have confidence in their
ability to do good work in the office
whose duties they are about to as
sume; take occasion or make an
occasion for such an expression of
confidence; it is said that talk is
cheap, but this is not true ; an ex
pression of confidence Is not cheap ;
words are acts, good aud strong, or
poor and feeble, just as the fountain
from which they emanate. Any way,
they are the medium of exchange for
such thoughts and feelings as can be
communicated by speech, and, if tbe
people of Nebraska have anything to
say to their legislative members elect,
now is tbe time to make themselves
heard.

Wauhiafrtem aLettes
(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Dec 14, 1886.
Probably no man in Washington
is so well pleased with what he has
done during the past week as is
President Cleveland. He launched a
shrewd, political campaign document
upon the oublic as his second annuel
message to Congress, and be got the
better of his rheumatism. The mes
sage was printed and bound in most
sumptuous manner, in striking con
trast to the Jeffersonian' simplicity
so much talked of nnder the present
Administration. The paper was of
the finest quality aud finish, the mar
gins liberal, and the type extra large.
A certain statesman, when asked
his opiuiou of the message, replied
promptly that tbe binding was very
beautiful. No President before Mr.
Cleveland ever had his message got
ten up in an elaborate style. Jeffer
son's messages were written closely
on ordinary writiug paper, without
au inch of space wasted. In for
mer years the annual messages ' con
tained a great many nominations,
too, and they were sent to Congress
by mail. Nowadays each nomina
tion goes In separately on the best
quality of paper, and whenever the
tbe President has anything to say to
Congress, his private secretary takes
his communication to the Capitol in
a carriage drawn by two horses.
Now that Congress is here the fact
that the two wings of the Democratic
party drop widely apart, becomes
glaringly prominenr again. The so
called Democratic leaders realized
that the present session is likely to
be as damaging to tbeir party as was
tbe last, but they seem powerless to
help it. One (rouble is that the lead
ers cannot lead. Mr. Morrison's idea
of producing harmony is to fight
every body who differs from htm in
to an acceptance of his views, and of
course his policy haB failed utterly.
Then Speaker Carlisle has none of
the qualities of a successful leader.
He interprets the roles of tho House
very fairly, but he either lacks en
ergy or influence sufficient to get his
wishes carried out.
While tho tariff program in the
Houee i6 still unsettled, it is thought
the Isbuo will come op in some
shape this week. There have been
informal conferences of all factions,
but no formal caucus, caovass, or
agreement. Tbe Republicans and
Protectionists would like to defeat
consideration of tbe subject altogeth
er, but if enabled to do thie, efforts
will be made to form a coalition
and shape legislation from a pro
tective standpoint.
Speaking of the President's ail
ment, a certain prominent physician
remarked that it was only called
rheumatism by courtesy, that the
opinion was that ho bad a slight
paralytic stroke, "raraiysis," con
tinued be, "is not a disease, but the
symptom of a disease, and that dis
ease is apoplexy. The latter kills in
stantly, but paralysis slays by suc
cessive strokes." Tbe doctor was
asked why the paralytic phase of Mr.
Cleveland's illness should be so
jealously guarded from the public.
"Why," said he, "because Mr. Cleve
land is anxious to be his own suc
cessor, and no man upon whom it is
known that paralysis has a hold can
ever hope to be re-elected."
President Cleveland has the exact
build which apoplexy has marked
for its own. He is'a short, heavy
man, with a thick neck and be Is an
enormous feeder. He weighs sixty
pounds more than when be came
here, and besides be takes no exer
cise, beyond riding out in a carriage.
AU of these habits increases tbe apo
pleptic tendency. It is said tbe
President is not devoid of supersti
tion, either, and that he does not
like to pass under the sable draperies
with which tbe White House is now
swathed in memory of bis predecessor
Since he has been its occupant, Grant,
Hendricks and Arthur have passed
away, with but brief intervals be
tween, and Mr. Cleveland has pa
thetically alluded to tbe fact that the
sombre drapings had scarcely been
removed for tbe one when they were
required for another. It is a notable
fact that all tbe Democratic candi
dates for the Presidency, Seymour,
McCiellan, Hancock and Tildeu, have
also died since that bright day in
March, less than two years ago, when
Mr. Cleveland delivered bis inaugu
ral address from tbe east front of the
Capitol.
Mr. Dawney, the Congressman
from New York, who died of apo
plexy during tbe past week, was es
pecially interested in the bill appro
priating half a million dollars for the
erection of a monument to General
Grant in Riverside Park; The bill
was at tbe head of tbe calendar's
list, but it Is being antagonized in
some way by G?n. Bragg. As tbe
deceased Member stepped aboard the
train for New York, his dast words
to Gen. Viele were "Please try and
get Gen. Bragg to consent to tbe con-1
siderationofmy bill. - . . 1

WHAT CAN BK'DOKR WITH AN ARTIOfcK
OrMKKIT IN THR HANDS VT PRO
GRESSIVE MEN.
A whole page of- this issue of the
Courier is occupied by the advertise
ment of the greatest blood purifier
that has evr been known. The med
icine has been made for over fifty
years iu Georgia, but has only with
in the last tenyears been prominent
ly brought to the notice of tbe pub
lic. The firm which manufactures
this medicine' is the largest drug
establishment In the south, and
unites with an immense capital, the
most correct and successful business
methods, thoroughly protected all
who trade with them, and giving
every one, from the smallest dealer
to the largest houses, fair profits on
their goods. Their success and the
extent of their business can better
be appreciated the kuowledge of
tbe fact that tbeir sales in Evansville
reach many thousands of dollars, and
then advertise this season only in the
Courier and the Public. Snch suc
cess could, only be attained with a
thoroughly reliable remedy, and this
fact almost makes it unnecessary to
say awocd in its favor, further than
the testimonials which will be seen
today on the third page of the Cour
ier. They are only a few selected
from thousands which have been re
ceived. If any sufferer in Evansville
with blood trouble of any kiud
has. not yet tried this wonderful
remedy, he should not allow another
day to paa over his head before
givinsf it a trial. It will certainly do
all that is claimed for it. Evansville
