It has been rumored that J. C. Cald
well, if elected, would decline the office,
in favor of Dr. Edwards of Platte Center.
It may be well enough for Mr. Caldwell
to decline to serve, (that is now his

the Journal that the appointing power
should consider themselves free to act
according to their sense of obligation to
the public.

Those Bogas Stickers.
The Democrat of last week says:
"We do not like to enter into any fur
ther discussion of pre-election tactics,
but the Journal's evident attempt to
lay upon Kavanaugh's friends the blame
of getting out "bogus stickers," with
Henry Carrig's name on them for treas
urer,needs to be rebuked. If any such
stickers were got out, they were printed
by the opponents of Kavanaugh, and
shown around, then the denial was pub
lished to influence the election. We
I J . 11- 4l,r1r 41a-v nntn nnir - 4" fvo 1T 1
uuu " "". -"0. uiauo ou; w. w
o sucn slips were at me pons on elec
tion day, and the only one that made
anything out of the scheme was the
Joubsal which did the printing."
It isn't much wonder that the ex-republican
of Colfax county who is trying
to run a democratic organ in Platte does
not wish to discuss tho "bogus sticker"
business, because it didn't result in any
good to tho party that evidently plan
ned it The trick was discovered on
Saturday morning previous to the elec
tion; the stickers were shown by an un
doubted democrat to ono of tho most re
liable men in this county, and there is
no donbt about that part of tho matter.
That tho trick was exposed by dodgers
got out immediately at the Journal
office, is to tho credit of republican
workers. The last sentence of the para
graph quoted above is a little peculiar,
and may have been intended to convey
the notion that the Journal printed tho
" bogus stickers." The ex-republican is
good at double-entendre, very good, but
it will be some time before ho can get
many people to believe that Becher's
friends printed those bogus stickers.- It
is satisfaction enough to Becher's friends
that tho trick was not allowed to do its
dirty work. Prevention is as good a
weapon in politics as anything else, and
the Democrat has probably sense enough,
to know by this time that at least a
slight admixture of truth is pretty good
election stock, and that lies come homo
to roost.
Terrible Fate of Anarchists.
On the 10th of November, 1887, at
Springfield, 111., Governor Bichard J.
Ogelsby finally came to the conclusion,
and did commute the sentence of the
death penalty in the case of Samuel
Fieldon and Michael Schwab to im
prionment in the penitentiary for life.
On the same day, at the jail in Chica
go, in the cell of Louis Lingg was heard
what seemed to be a muffled echo of
tho fearful bomb of the haymarket riot.
With all the searching and watchfulness
of guards and officers, he had been fur
nished or had made a dynamite cartridge
with which he committed a horrible sui
cide. Tho entire lower half of his face
was gone, including the upper lip and
jaw, and the under fraction of tho nose.
Where it had been was now a jagged,
bloody gap, extending across to the ears
and down to the "Adam's apple." Thus
ended the life of the condemned manu
facturer of dynamite cartridges and
bombs.
Near the hour of 12 o'clock, Friday,
November 11th, 1887, everything being
in readiness, Albert R. Parsons, Spies,
Adolph Fischer and George Englo, were
brought to the scaffold erected for their
execution, caps placed over their heads,
and in a minute a loud thump was heard
from tho interior of tho jail, which gavo
notice to everyone in hearing distance,
that it was the trap that had fallen,
which launched tho spirits of those men
into eternity. Thus ended the lives of
the law breakers. The execution of tho
fearful law of capital punishment, made
in the city of Chicago, among thousands
and perhaps tens of thousands of pro
fessed anarchists, without any attempt
at resistance demonstrates the fact that
they may in time learn to respect and obey
the laws of a republican government.
All the men hanged appeared to bear a
brave and defiant spirit, and at the last
moment gave evidence of their strong
faith in the principles of anarchy.
What It Mean.
It is evident, not only from the results
to a portion of tho Democratic ticket
here, but also on Democratic and Re
publican tickets elsewhere in Nebraska
that tho voters (who, as a body, do not
take any great part in the nominating
caucusses), are determined to give party
managers distinctly to understand that
their work, (to be approved by tho ieo
plo). must be done with some sort of
reference to tho public interests, as well
as for the individual benefit of the man
agers. Officers will find tho same thing
to hold true for their dischargo of the
functions of the offices.
Obey the law, not only to the letter,
but in the spirit of it. Give every man
having business at your office his due.
Give the county what belongs to the
county. Attempt no undue advantage.
If an opportunity occurs for you to de
ceive the public and reap a pecuniary
reward, don't you take that opportunity
to "feather your nest." If your con
science, your sense of right and fair-play
are not sufficiently active to deter you,
remember that the voters who supported
you are tax-payers, who have to foot all
the bills. They wish you to obey the
laws and take no more for your services
than those laws entitle you to take.
Enter into no combinations of any
kind to defraud tho public, whom you
serve.
Remember that while it is an honor to
be selected from the great body of your
fellow-citizens, by their free-will de
clared by ballot, to fill important public
trusts, it is a greater honor to do your
duty therein. intelligently, fearlessly.
without favor, and in the advancement
of public interests.
Here Too.
The result of the election Tuesday
clearly shows that no party can safely
allow any man or party of a half dozen
to manipulate the convention for their
own personal interests. The voters can
repudiate the doings of the convention
if they so desire, and it now appears that
the voters were not satisfied with the
democratic nominees by any means.
Ballots rule in this part of the country,
job or no job. Kings, cliques and com
binations must go under when they un
dertake to carry the politics of any county
in their pockets. David City Tribune.
PrsKEBTOK detectives at Chicago, ar
rested F. F. Bickell for the theft of
82400, and unraveled the mysterious
robbery of that amount from the Union
National bank at Duluth, Minn. When
arrested he confessed to the crime and
gave up all the money except $150 which
he had spent. The clerk, Bickell, stole
this money from the vault while the
the cashier was at the desk reading the
papers.
Keep it Up.
Now let everybody give attention to
the railroad question in all its bearings,
and keep on giving it close attention
until something satisfying shall have
been accomplished. Nebraska, by her
situation near to the unlimited coal
fields of Colorado and Wyoming, at her
back-door, so to speak, has to pay too
much for transportation of this valuable
commodity. Producing, in great "num
bers, hogs and cattle, she ought not to
loose sight of the fact, that, as much as
possible, home industries should be aided
by our railroads, instead of being "froze
out" by them. The Lincoln Democrat
hits some sturdy licks in favor of fair
play, and a recent number gives the
following concerning rates on the B. &
M. road:
"From all the western part of tho state
it costs the same to ship hogs and cattle
to Chicago. But as soon as it comes
within the radius of tho territory in
which hogs may be bought for the pack
ing houses at Omaha, Nebraska City
aud Lincoln the Chicago tariff on hogs
is reduced. The Fairmont shipper of
hogs get a reduction of $5 to ship to
Chicago. At Crete, $10. At Johnson
and sill other points near by Nebraska
packing houses the reduction in favor of
Chicago is 10. In plain words the
Burlington railroad compels Nebraska
packing houses to pay S10 more on every
car or nogs man iney ougux, 10 pay, sim
ply that it may get the long haul to
Chicago. If it costs 10 less to haul a
car of hogs than a car of cattle from
Crete to Chicago, it certainly costs that
much less from Juniata or Red Cloud.
Here is a clear .case of discrimination
that cuts both ways. It oppresses and
discourages Nebraska packing houses to
the amount of many thousand dollars
annually. It robs the hog raisers of
three fourths of the stato of $10 on every
car of hogs they ship to Chicago."
Lincoln Democrat: Auditor Babcock
spoke to the emissary of the Democrat,
who was yesterday doing up the pro
ceedings of the supreme court. "I
notice," said he, "that criticisms of my
course as a member of the board of
transportation are floating about in the
newspapers quite freely. It is worthy
of note that they are all wrong as tomy
position, as x unaersianu me reiauuus
between the railroads and the people, I
have all the time been against the roads
and for the people. The same is true of
Mr. Laws, secretary of state, who has
been misrepresented in the same way as
myself. Both of us agreed in accepting
the compromise offered by the roads,
but both opposed the postponement or
abandonment of the mandamus case be
fore the supreme court. In this wo
were overpersuaded by the judgment of
Messrs. Mason and Munger, the only
lawyers connected with the board."
"I rather think now," continued Mr.
Babcock, "that the best method of hand
ling this railroad matter is to take the
bull by the horns. The responsibility
and labor involved are not pleasant, but
if tho court shall decide that the board
has the power to make rates, it will
prove equal to the emergency and will
take hold of the matter vigorously, hon
estly, and in the interests of the people.
The board understands the interests of
the people in this matter and will ad
minister its powers to their satisfaction."
Please proceed with tho work; the
people have been very patiently waiting
a great many years. Begin on the trans
portation of coal, so that the dealers of
Nebraska can furnish that very desira
ble article at "greatly-reduced rates."
The winter, from present appearances,
don't promise to be severe, but if our
railroad commission desire to do more
good while their office lasts, and do it so
that we can all thank them for it, they
will look this matter up at once.
Afteh a fair test of the workings- of
low tariff, James Buchanan, the last
president under the free trade system,
refers to it in his message as follows:
"The earth has yielded her fruits abund
antly, and has bountifully rewarded the
toil of the husbandman. We havo pos
sessed all the elements of material
wealth in rich abundance; and yet, not
withstanding all these advantages, our
country, in its monetary interests, is, at
the present moment, in a deplorable
condition. In tho midst of unsurpassed
plenty, in all the productions and in all
the elements of national wealth, we find
our manufactories suspended, our pub
lic works retarded, our private enter
prises of all kinds abandoned, and thous
ands of useful laborers thrown out of
employment and reduced to want." Ex.
Ax Iowa farmer says: "I quit two years
ago selling my eggs for 8 and 10 cents a
dozen to speculators, to be preserved
and sold in winter for 20 and 25 cents a
dozen. For two so;isons I have done my
own preserving and pocketed the profit
myself. About the first of June I pre
pare a brine as follows: to a pailful of
water I add two pints of fresh slacked
lime and one pint of common salt, both
thoroughly dissolved and well mixed.
With iluid prepared in these proportions
I fill a barrel half full, then place all my
surplus eggs in it, and when eggs get up
to 20 and 25 cents in winter they al
ways do I take them to market and
they go for fresh eggs every time."
Preserve this in your scrap-book.

The jury in the case of the State vs.
August Mentz, at Clay Center, for the
murder of Fred Dikeman, brought in a
verdict of guilty of murder in the second
degree.
In the supreme court at Lincoln re
cently, D. M. Strong, of Dodge county,
and W. A. McAllister, of Platte county,
attorneys at law, were admitted to prac
tice in the supreme court of the state.
Emmet Haun, a resident of the Hoop
er neighborhood northwest of Fremont,
stabbed himself five times in the neck
tho other day. Physicians were called
and dressed his wounds, and he may
still live.
Superintendent M. E. O'Brien, of the
state fish hatcheries at South Bend, was
at Fiemont last week getting ready
with his black bass to distribute in the
Platte river from Fremont to South
Bend.
A prairie fire the other day destroyed
between 150 and 200 tons of hay on the
Little Nemaha river bottom near Tal
mago. The fire was started by sparks
from an engine. The timber on the
bank of the river was also damaged.
The dead body of a young man was
found the other day close to a hay stack
and near Guide Bock. From papers
found it was supposed to be that of J. J.
Irwin, of St. Joe, Mo. Sickness and ex
posure is supposed to be the cause of
his death.
J. P. Mallon's barn at North Bend, in
which he kept his imported and thorough
bred horses, twenty-eight in nnmber,was
burned to the ground together with con
siderable hay and grain. The stock was
in a corral adjoining the barn at the
time, and was rescued by some ladies
who knocked some boards off the fence
and drove the horses out. His loss is re
ported at 84,000.
Quite a fire occurred at Omaha Satur
day by tne burning 01 tne city gas
works. The fire, it is believed, was
caused by gas leaking from the blower
into the generator where contact with
the super-heated air caused an explosion.
In addition to the burning of the gas
works a boarding house was smoked and
flooded until all the goods within were
damaged and rendered useless. Two
men were badly injured but not fatally.
The loss of property is estimated at
815,000. It is believed to be covered by
insurance.
Jessie Mills, a handsome and well
reared girl, ran away from her home in
Burlington, Ia, came to Omaha to lead
a fast life. Her mother came over from
Iowa the other day and found her in a
disreputable house in Omaha. Her
mother's arguments and influence used
to induce her to return home, failed to
accomplish a favorable result. The last
report from the girl was that she had
been placed in jail. Truly this is a sad
picture for a loving mother to contem
plate. And yet, and yet there are those
who think that bawdy houses are a pro
tection to good girls.
The meaning of the result of Tues
day's election in Butler county is not
hard to find. It is simply this: That
the intelligent voter will no longer en
dorse bossism and corruption in local
politics; that he will have clean and hon
est men to take care of the county's
interests; that "no boodler need apply."
The lesson cannot be too well taken to
heart by a certain clique of county poli
ticians,and the time to ponder the lesson
in all its bearings is now, while they are
sore from being sat down upon. Let
clean politics, fair methods and clean
men continue to get to the front Da
vid City Tribune.

Lee, at the breaking out of the rebellion
and was confiscated by the government,
but subsequently purchased from the
Lee heirs by the United States at a cost
of 8250,000. Nineteen thousand Union
soldiers lie buried here. The grounds
are laid out in broad avenues shaded by
primeval oaks and towering elms, and
the drives and winding walks amid the
flowers and leafy dells and ravines that
overlook the Capital City, present a view
of unparalleled magnificence. There is
always a throng of visitors there, and
the stranger within our gates who fails
to visit Arlington, looses one of the
loveliest scenes in all the land.
Another place of surpassing beauty is
Oak Hill Cemetery, situated on Bock
Creek, in what is known locally as West
Washington, but in former times as the
old city of Georgetown. Way back,
years ago, Georgetown was an important
place, and was made the first port of
entry under the establishment of the
Federal constitution. It is a dingy look
ing place now, with a population of
about 1500 with a large preponderance
of the colored element The citizens
show little enterprise compared with the
balance of the District, and during the
war it was emphatically the secession hot
bed of this section. Nature made here
the loveliest burial place the eye ever
rested upon, which has been most beau
tifully adorned by the lavish expendi
ture of large sums. It is handsomely
laid out in terraces giving the most en
chanting and picturesque views of hill
and valley and vista. Eight thousand
are buried here, many of whom achieved
great reputation in statesmanship, litera
ture and art, and won imperishable re
nown in defending the Nation's flag on
sea ana tana. A walk amid its shady
bowers, polished marble, gentle cascades
and sparkling fountains, inspires tho't,
softens nature, and melts the heart.
What a lovely place ia Oak Hill. Thou
sands every Sabbath seek this Elysian
retreat, and hold sweet communion with
the Beautiful Beyond.
The Washington Navy Yard having
been changed to an ordnance plant, ne
cessitates a large amount of new ma
chinery. There is now being built for
use, among numerous other thincs. six
huge iron lathes, 130 feet in length, and
weighing 200 tons each. They are mod
els of inventive genius, and are so con
structed that work on both the outside
and inside of the mammoth guns -may be
carried on at the same time. Three of
these guns are nearly completed, are
nearly thirty feet in length, and will
throw a twelve inch projectile a distance
of ten miles with marvelous precision.
The Secretary of the Navy Department
is entitled to much credit for his per
sistent effort to give us a Navy worthy
of the American Nation, and it is hoped
congress will not be parsimonious in
making the needed appropriations. A
large Japanese naval jmrty, who are in
specting the navies of the world, will be
xiere ims weelc to see what we can show.
A convention of the Evangelical Alli
ance of the United States will commence
its annual session in this city on Dec.
7th, and the churches are making great
preparations to receive the delegates,
about 1500 of whom are expected to be
present
On the 26th of this month there will
oe a most notable jratherincr at the
Smithsonian Institute, of the leading
scientists of the country in commemora
tion of the late Prof. Baird. The com
mittee in charge are making elaborate
preparations, and will publish a memo
rial volume of the proceedings which is
intended to contain the grandest scien
tific thought of the age. Many of the
distinguished scientists of England,
France and Germany will participate in
the interesting occasion.
A statement has been prepared at the

Most of the Cabinet officers have com
pleted their annual reports and furnish
ed the President with a svnonsis. tho
salient points of which will aptiear in
the President's message.
There is no doubt about a frigid cold
ness between tho Postmaster General
and his first Assistant, and Mr. Vilas
says he will not take tho Interior Port
folio if Stevenson is to be elevated to
the vacancy. A movement is made to
secure the appointment of Don M. Dick
inson, of Michigan, but this meets with
strong opposition on the ground of giv
ing the West two Cabinet positions.
Stevenson's ambition has alienated many
of the western Democrats as is likewise
the case with Commissioners Black and
Sparks. Lamar will certainly bo nomi
nated to the supreme bench and then
comes the breaking up of the Cabinet
slates. ic

Golden Specific.
It can be given in a cup of coiTee or
tea without the knowledge of the person
taking it; is absolutely harmless and
will effect a permanent and speedy cure,
whether the patient is a moderate drink
er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of
drunkards have been mado temperate
men who have taken Golden Specific in
their coffee without their knowledge,and
today believe they quit drinking of their
own free will. IT NEVER FAILS. The
