As we write, Monday, the weather is
considerably dryer than usual. Small
grain on fall plowing, and in upland
sandy soil is showing strong need of
moisture, some such being yellow at the
ground; the grass everywhere is in need
of rain, and if it does not come soon,
there will be little upland hay. Howev
er, the clouds of Sunday night and the
appearance of thingB Monday indicated
that rain might fall in a day or two. Jt
I is to be hoped so,
There is considerable of the brute
beast in men, when they allow their
lower nature the rule. For instance,
see what furore is caused in places by
the mere appearance of a few men and
women on the streets, with musical in
struments, not leading a monkey or a
bear, but singing songs in praise of the
Lord. These are met with sneers, jeers
or mob violence, while the bears or
monkeys are allowed to go along about
their business. "There are tricks in all
trades but ours" is an old but true say
ing, and while all sober-minded people
cannot agree as to the methods of tho
Salvation or Gospel Army, good citizens
will not make fools or beasts of them
selves by brutal conduct. This recalls
to mind the case of rowdyism at Cork,
Ireland, in which Mrs. Dr. Potts, a lady
well known in this city, was the victim;
simply because it was unusual for medi
cal students there to hear a lady lecture,
they kept up a series of cat-calls,
whistles, shouts, hisses, gun-powder
squibs, etc; they pidled down a val
uable skeleton from the platform, and
threatened to destroy all the lady's val
uable charts. Of course the insult was
an outrage as viewed from any stand
point, and the inhumane animals guilty
of taking part in it should have been
horsewhipped by a few thousand stal
wart friends of the lady, could they havo
lieen turned loose upon the scene. In
nearly all such cases, however, it will bo
found that the troublo uud resulting
crimes could be prevented by tho local
authorities doing their full duty, in the
preservation of order. Laws are not
needed for people who do not break
them they are for those who do break,
or who are inclined to break them, and
tho easiest path au official can travel is
to watch for tho beginning of an unlaw
ful thing and crush it at once. Crime,
in its nature, is like a spark of fire in
dry grass, at the very first it may easily
be put out; later, it spreads rapidly, and
at last nniBt be left to dio because of
nothing left in its reach for destruction.
Each individual, as a unit of the race to
which he belongs, has a duty to perform;
each community has duties assigned
which are necessary to its very life and
well-being, and no town or city can
afford to allow its officials to be lax in
the enforcement of law. Such a policy,
besides being a wicked violation of a
sworn duty, is an expensive thing to
those who work hard to be able to pay
the expense of government.
The fact that the U.P. railroad is pil
ing up immense supplies at St. Paul, and
that surveyers have lately lieen dis
covered along the line between here and
thore, leads us to believe that tho road is
to be extended from St. Paul east at an
early day. This is a consummation
most devoutly to lie wished. Tho above
from the Fullerton Journal is evidence
that an additional line between Colum
bus and North Platto is to bo one of tho
features of tho U. P. system. And thus
Columbus becomes, moro and more, a
railroad center.
It may not bo generally known to
tho outside world, but it is nevertheless
a fact that Columbus enjoys the honor
to date of being the home of the youn
gest man who carried a musket in tho
late rebellion, in the person of William
Taylor. He was born June 25, 1850, and
enlisted March, H, and will bo 37 years
of age June, '87, and was a memlier of
Co. B, 134th Ills. Vol. In. If there is a
younger soldier in the country than
"Billy," tho editor of "Camp Fire" in
Toledo Blade would doubtless like to
hear from him.
Why our city authorities wish to
license such a swindling performance sis
that of Monday at Henry's corner, we
cannot tell. It was pretty slim picking
here, but it might readily have been
greater. The same game at other towns
has resulted in their taking away two to
three hundred dollars or hard-earned
money. Every self-respecting com
munity should, as much as possible,
protect the young, the weak and tho
susceptible from the wiles of a known
swindler, at least. If not, why not?
It is said that the rise in coffee is
mainly due to the shortage in tho crop
and to the fact that Arbnckle has a
corner on the business. Some deiders
predict that the retail price will advance
to 50 cents a pound before long, and
suggest that a good remedy for the pub
lic would be to quit buying Arbuckle's
coffee in any shape, or quit using coffee
altogether for awhile, in other words,
boycott Arbuckle or boycott coffee. This
is a kind of anti-monopoly warfare very
distasteful to old coffee drinkers.
The social tbince in honor of the
graduating class Tuesday evening of last
week was a grand success in every
respect. The music rendered by tho
Columbus Orchestra was delightful; the
refreshments presided over by Mrs.
Meagher and Mrs. North were delicious.
The toilets of the young ladies were
grand, the many natural flowers adding
to the beauties and freshness of the oc
casion. All present pronounce it a most
enjoyable affair, and feel grateful to the
management.
While Buck Taylor was performing
in the Wild West show in London the
other day, he was thrown from his horse
which resulted in a compound fracture
of the thigh. Later news from London
states that Buck Taylor's injury consists
of a simple fracture of tho thigh, and
that he is progressing favorably. Many
Americans have called at the hospital to
enquire after him and to leave their
cards. Among the number was Minis
ter Phelps, and White, secretary of
legation.
Prohibition political meetings ad

The Columbus syndicate met Fri
day evening at the office of Drs. Martyn
& Schug, and had a very interesting and
lively session, concerning measures for
the good of the general interest that will
have a telling effect on the near future.
The Jocrnal is more than pleased to
make a record of this kind, but doesn't
feel at liberty just now to precipitate
matters. The public ear will be regaled
with all proper information at the op
portune moment.
Aa Old Land-Mark Goes Up la Smoke and
Flnaiea.
Thursday evening last about 8 o'clock
just as the Grand Island accommodation
was pulling np at the depot, the train
men gave the word that the large eleva
tor owned by E. J. Baker, of Cheyenne,
and just oast of Ja?ggi & Schupbach's
large steam mill, was on fire. Immediate
ly the firo bells were rung and shortly
afterward tho firemen were at work
throwing water on tho bnrning building,
but owing to vexatious delays and the
bursting of the hose, the fire gained too
much headway to be checked, and the
building was totally destroyed, with
most of the contents.
The structure was erected in 'GS by
Francis A. Hoffman and the business of
milling carried on for about a year,
when it was abandoned on account of
the high price of fuel coal costing at
that timo $12 a ton. A few years later
it was purchased by E. J. Bakor and
used as a grain elevator. At the time of
the fire Krause Bros, had a lot of ma
chinery stored therein, the most of
which was destroyed. They estimate
their loss at $3,000, on which they car
ried an insurance of $1,000 in the Home
Insurance company of Now York.
The firemen did excellent work in
saving property in close proximity,
which without tho waterworks, would
surely have burned, the water supply in
the vicinity being very limited.
FLYING SPARKS.
The building was insured for $700.
The new hose cart is due here in a few
days.
The fire is generally supposed to have
been of incendiary origin.
A good deal of water was put on to
Johnson's stable to save it from burning
by tho flying sparks.
Tho framo work of the elevator was of
heavy timbers and Cottonwood, or it
would not have been au hour burning
down.
Covert's house was also in the line of
the wind and endangered by sparks,
which were carried as far as Mr. Taylor's
on Nebraska avenue.
It is the general belief that if tho old
hose had not burst, a portion of the
building might have been saved; but
this is somewhat questionable a for at
least one-fourth of the lower story was a
mass of flames before any alarm was
given.
It Ikib been suggested that each ward
of the city should have a hosateam fully
equipped by the City Council for effect
ive work in the way of good hose, cart,
etc. If the city were thus prepared, six
streams could readily bo thrown upon
buildings near hydrants.
Is It True?
The Journal's position in regard to
what is called the social evil and the
liquor question is very plain, and it is,
simply tho enforcement of the laws, a6
they are, until they are found inade
quate to protect the public, in which
case we advocate a change.
It is becoming plainly evident that
there is a portion of what may be termed
the liquor element that is becoming
"very restive under tho provisions of the
Slocum law, and are determined to
violate that law whenever they can with
any show of escaping the consequences.
Some facts lately brought to our
notice bring the subject into prominence
again, and lead us to ask:
Is it true that there is one saloon
keeper in this city who allows liquor
to lie sold to minors, and allows them in
his placo of business contrary to the
law?
Is it true that on several occasions
lately some boys in town, as young as
fifteen, have been made drunk by liquor
sold at this saloon?
Is it true that last Saturday night
there was a fight among some fifteen or
twenty boys because of liquor purchased
somewhere and drank by them?
Is it true that liquor is sold on Sun
day? These questions are suggestive, and
may, if followed up, be profitable to tho
rising generation of boys, who do not
realize the fearful end that confronts
them in tho formation of bad habits.
Enforce the law. All good citizens
obev the law.
A CARD.
Tho Water Commissioner has a Word to Say
to the Democrat.
En. Jocrnal: - In an article concern
ing the burning of the elevator last
Thursday evening, tho Democtat has
this, at the close:
"Wntur wa aiian'iitly very low in tho stand
pipe when tho fire hroko out, a thing that tthould
not occur ajcain."
This is a very serious charge to bring
against those whose duty it is to look
after the waterworks, and a little troublo
taken to ascertain the exact truth would
have resulted in knowing that it is tho
order of tho commissioner, to be strictly
followed, that every day at six p. m. the
stand-pipe bo left full of water 102 feet;
that on the evening of tho fire mention
ed, at C:15 as can be proved by the en

Editors should be careful in putting
into cold typo something that is ntterly
false, without having any foundation or
excuse whatever,and, so far as I am con
cerned, I want the people to know that
I have done and that I expect to con
tinue to do my full duty, and I do not
intend that what I do, shall be either
falsified or misconstrued.

The Street Railway.
June llth, next Saturday, the electors
of the city are called upon to cast their
ballots for or against the proposition of
the Columbus Motor Railway Co. to
construct and operate its line or lines of
street railway in the city, at least one
mile of which is to be in operation on or
before S"ept. 1, 1888, or the Company to
forfeit all right under the franchise.
This is all there is of the proposition
the granting of the franchise by the
city: the construction and operation of
at least one mile of the road by Sept. 1,
1888 no Ixmds, no outlay by the city.
There is no opposition that we hear
of, to the proposition, and no good ob
jection that we see to its carrying unani
mously. Give us all tho public im
provements possible, and this is, cer
tainly, one that is very desirable, ad
ding to the value of every piece of
property in tho city. The polls are to be
open at the usual voting places from 9
a. m. to 7 p. in.
