It irould bo well enough for the demo

else to make the campaign lively in this
district. Of course none of them have
any show for success, but, all the same,
the campaign ought to be made inter

Geokge Long shot and killed Henry
Baker on tho farm of tho latter, north of
Indianapolis, on tho afternoon of tho
24th ult. Baker believed Long had a
bad reputation, who had been courting
Baker's daughter for several years and
Baker had sternly opposed their friend

and attempted to kill Long by shooting
him from the back and side, when Long
got tho revolver away from him and
killed Baker.

In accordance with a resolution adopted
in state convention October 5. '87, the
county central committees are
instructed to include in their call for
the next county convention, the submis
sion of the prohibition question to the
republican voters of tho republican pri

No necessity to get unduly excited
over this presidential campaign- the
American people have determined that
they have had enough of Cleveland-Mills
democracy for a long time to come, and
the election returns of November will
simply record this determination by rat
ifying tho nomination of Harrison and
Morton. This may bo annoying to some
of our democratic brethren who took
especial pains shortly after Cleveland's
inauguration to show him that he was a
"no-good" democratic president unless
he began immediately to put the official
guillotine in motion, but it can't be
helped. You'll have nearly a year to
prepare to get out, and that's long
enough to take a deep breath. After
all, to be a democrat for revenue only is
not near so good as to bo a democrat on
principle only, which is certainly a bad
enough thing from tho republican
stand-point.
A BEPOitT came from Moundsville, W.
Va., that James Williams, a prosperous
farmer and strong republican, has lately
been advocating the claims of Sherman
to the annoyance of his ex-rebel neigh
bors who are now, as formerly, demo
crats. It is stated that on the night of
the 23d ult., a halt dozen or more of
these democrats blacked their faces, put
on masks and went to Williams's house
for the purpose of teaching him to keep
his mouth shut. They took Williams
and his four sons, who are also republi
cans, out of bed, dragged them to a
thicket, stripped them to the skin, and
then whipped them unmercifully. The
men would probably have been beaten
to death had they not promised to re
frain from publicly expressing republi
can sentiments hereafter. His wife
went to the scene and gave them a se
vere scolding for their conduct and they
gave her a 6evere switching also.
Last Sunday considerable excitement
and indignation was created among
guests of the hotel and residents in the
vicinity of Fifth and Main streets by
John Grant, who runs the restaurant
opposite the Tillinburg, whipping his
daughter, a married woman about 23
years of age. Grant was under the in
fluence of liquor at the time. The wo
man's screams soon brought a large
crowd of excited and indignant people
to the place, who demanded of the mar
shal, who had separated them, that he
arrest the offending father. This the
Tpprril refused to do unless some other
witness of the affair would swear out a
warrant. His refusal has caused him to
be roughly denounced by many of those
who witnessed or heard of the affair.

More than a few counties are looking
into the crevices where the public money
has been leaking out, and are discover
ing that officials, supposed to be all
right, are really owing the public good
money that they had kept and not ac
counted for. These matters can only be
known through an examination by an
expert, and wherever there is the least
suspicion (say nothing about knowledge),
that funds belonging to the county have
been wrongly kept, the official on whom
suspicion rests should insist on the ap
pointment of an expert to report on his
case.
Among the latest "finds" is that re
ported from Benkleman, one of the newer
communities of the state. The telegram
says:
"An expert began an investigation of
ex-Treasurer Hacker's books in May.
Tho work has been completed and shows
Hacker to be over 31,000 short. Com
missioner Neighbor, also implicated in
the crookedness, says the shortage will
be made good immediately. Hacker has
been treasurer for four years. Ho is not
a bad name himself, but got in with tho
old county ring of which E. G. Neighluir,
the present county commissioner, was
chief. The investigation will result in
breaking the ring, which has got the
county finances in bad shape."
Much might be done to conserve the
public interests by the formation of as
sociations of tax-payers to look after the
allowance of bills and the payment of
claims for service, alleged to be extra.
The public has tho right to know just
how its money is being expended and
just who it is that is making the burden
of their taxes almost too heavy to bo
borne. They will know, soon or later,
and the sooner, tho better for all con
cerned. NEItKASKA NOTES.

The superiority of South Omaha as a
cattle market over Chicago is shown in
a practical manner by Mr. Jos. Brennan,
a well known stockman of Dakota coun
ty, Nebraska. He shipped a consign
ment of cattle from Dakota county to
South Omaha, a distance of 120 miles,
for $33 per car load; tho time was twelve
hours between tho interval of loading
and unloading; the shrinkage was small
and the prices were within a notch of
those at Chicago. If Mr. Brennan had
sent his stock to Chicago, a distance of
over 500 hundred miles, ho would have
paid 870 a carload, it would have taken
three days for shipment, and there would
have leen a shrinkage of at least thirty
pounds per head. Tho advantages,
therefore, are largely in favor of Omaha
is a stock market for Colorado, Wyom
ing, Texas and all points in Nebraska,
southern Dakota and western Iowa. It
must be remembered that our market
offers such inducements in spite of rail
road discrimination which is diverting
as much business as it can to Chicago.
If Omaha had a railroad of its own to
the northwest, which would make ship
ments to this point by superior facilities
and reasonable rates, and if all the rail
roads centering here would wake up and
realize that it is to their advantage to
build up a great stock market, South
Omaha would immediately become the
leading cattle center of America. It is,
however, only a mere question of time
when this will bo accomplished. Bee.

The Observer (liberal) in a long leader
condemns the tory leadership, especially
that of Messrs. Smith and Belfour. It
says that the plain truth regarding
the question of local government and
with all other questions is that the
difficulty over Irish affairs stops the
way. There is no use of the government
attempting any general legislation until
this Irish question is disposed of. "The
government must decide," says the Ob
server, "whether the union shall or shall
not be repealed before discussing to ad
vantage the relations of the different
parts of the country with the other."

W M. Gould, .Esq.. General Ajiaut ?,ri:i:i-:ijolw Harvester Co., Omaha. Neb..
Dear bin It is beinj; roporte-1 through. Mit this :uul a.ljoininjr counties that the
Minneapolis Harvester Co. had sold their shops and were goinir to discontinue
the manufacture of their machines.
When we first heard of this wo paid very little attention to the report, think
ing it came from some unprincipled machine airont who could not sell a machine
of his own any other way than by lying, but when so manv of our customers came
and asked us about the matter, men to whom we expect to sell machines this
coming harvest, wo are compelled to inquire into the matter. We have denied
the stones all tho time, and denounced thorn n lies and thought we were right in
doing so. Now we want the facts; if it is true, we want to know it, and if it is a
lie. we want to nad it. Please let us hoar from you at once, as we want your letter
for publication. Very truly yours,
Eknst A- Schwarz.
Messks. Ernst & Schwarz, Columbus, Neb., Gents.: I received yours today.
That report is entirely unfounded. -I enclose copy of a letter received from the
Company.
You see it is a trick of men who can not hold their wav against us, only by
trying to scare a farmer not to buy tho " Minnie," hoping thereby to get a chanctt
to sell one of their own. Farmers need not foar.-I havo no doubt thev can take
your word, as well as that of a competitor.
If they lie about our machine, is it not probable thev would lie again to sell
their own?
I will have a man there shortly. Do your best and I will help all 1 can.
Yours very truly,
Wm. Gould, G. A.
Wm. Gould, Esq., General Agent, Omaha, Neb., lMir Sir: Answering yours
relative to the rumors in Nebraska that the Minneapolis Harvester Works had
sold their shops and grounds and wore going out of the business, we have to say
there is not one word of truth 111 them. They have not sold their shops or
grounds and are not going out of tho business, and you can so inform all parties
making inquiries regarding this matter. Yours truly,
Signed E. IJ. Lincoln-, Sup't cf Agencies.
