Tke P ipeoed Ameaameat.
The Journal has steadily advocated
the submission of the question of an
amendment to the state constitution in
regard to the prohibition of the sale of
intoxicating liquors, to a vote of the
people!
After it shall have been submitted, we.
believe the 'best thing to do will be to
vote'against'its adoption.
There are good reasons, to our way of
thinking, for these positions.
Courts have so uniformly held to the
right of the people to rule on this sub
ject, that that right is no longer ques
tioned by any good authority, whatever.
We believe in the doctrine of the peo
pie's rule, because while they may not
always be right, they-sincerely intend to
be so, and are much more likely to be
so, on questions of general interest af
fecting the welfare of the whole commu
nity, than any clique.
Whether the majority of the people
are right or wrong, in the renactment of.
law, it is good citizenship-' to obey the
laws and help to enforce them, at least
give the executive officers, one and all,
the strength and 'encouragement of your
influence in their good work of fulfilling
their official obligations in seeing that
the laws are executed. This we affirm
on general principles, but moreparticu-
larly as to the present Slocum, high-
lrcenso Jaw, adopted by a . republican
legislature, and now. strongly endorsed
by the people of the state generally, as
good legislation 'and the best practical
way of meeting 'the acknowledged evils
of the liquor traffic.
m
The people have the 'right to vote on
this question and the Journal 'favors
the exercise of that right.
If the question shall" be submitted,
after a thorough canvass as to whether
it onght to be or not, then will be seen
the strength of the prohibitory method
of dealing with the evil, aside from par
ty politics.
Until there is an honest effort to en
force the laws we now have, by those
interested in this subject, it is nbt prac
tical good sense, in' our opinion, to ask
for more stringent laws that will be so
much more difficult of enforcement, re
quiring more officials, greater expense of
prosecution, etc., without one cent of
revenue derived from the traffic, which
would yet be carried on, to a-greater or
less extent
By all means submit the question to a
vote of the people, then vote against the
prohibitory amendment and defeat it;
after that, the average citizen oan say, if
the subject is broached "Let us have
a rest."

Well Said.
Gen. B. F. Tracy, in taking' the chair
as temporary chairman of the New York
republican state convention, said:
"You meet under circumstances of the
gravest importance. Not since 1861,
wnen tne democratic national convention
solemnly declared in its platform that
the war for the union was a failure, and
demanded that it should be brought to
a speedy end, has a more important polit
ical issue been presented to the Ameri
can people than that presented by Pres
ident Cleveland's free trade messageand
the Mills bilL The issue of 1861 in
volved the existence of the nation; the
issue of 1888 involves the continued ex
istence of our manufacturing industries
and commercial prosperity.. The situa
tion is alarming. Nothing in the future
of the nation can, I apprehend, be more
certain than this that if the policy of
legislation indicated by the president's
free trade message and the Mills bill
become the permanent policy of this
country, the nation will suffer a disaster
second only to that it would have sus
tained by the triumph of the rebellion
itself. In this supreme emergency New
York again becomes the pivotal state. If
her people are made to see clearly, and
apprehend fully, the danger that con
fronts us, the result is not doubtful.
"Gentlemen of the convention, permit
me to congratulate you that the present
campaign finds the party acting under a
wise and united leadership; and. when
united, the republicans of New York are,
and always were, invincible.
We might add that among the other
things well said at the convention was
the declaration in regard to what the
foreign policy of the government should
be:
"The republican senators in congress
in rejecting the treaty relative to the
fisheries, negotiated with Great Britain,
acted in accordance with the dictates of
just patriotism, and correotly asserted
American rights and national honor,
while the message of President Cleveland
transmitted on the 23d of August is a
confession that his administration has
been grossly negligent of its duties in
the protection of American fisheries, and
has invited new annoyances and aggres
sions on the part of the Canadians by
failure to make manful protests, and to
employ the peaceful means of self de
fense committed to him. The republi
can party favors a foreign policy which
shall do no wrong to our nearest neigh
bor, and shall brook no indignity from
any power on earth, and by insisting on
fair play on sea and land shall, through
justice, insure peace with all nations."
The State Fair.
A correspondent of the Omaha Re
publican writes in .regard to the State
Fain
"A special feature of this fair will be
the county exhibits. Last year from
twelve to fourteen counties made from
large to indifferent expositions. This
year thirty-two counties will be on the
grounds on a much more elaborate scale.
Custer county is coming in with two car
loads of her products. Many wall have
a car load each. One county intends to
exhibit in a native sod house. It is
plain, to see that these exhibits will make
a perfect wilderness of vegetables, fruits,
flowers, art products and specialties.
.The sneed attractions also Dromise to
'excel any former year.
"Among the special attractions provi
ded by the board will be the Indian
school from Genoa, which will be on the
grounds and continue in practical ope
ration during the fair. The industrial
school at Kearney will also have a class
present during the fair, to show what
they do out there and how they do it
- "United States fish car No. 1 will sit
on the grounds during the entire fair,
showing the process of hatching, catch
ing and caring for (he finny supplies
Uncle Sam furnishes to the streams of
the. nation. In connection with this car
will be the exhibit by the state fish com
mission. This will be doubly large
compared with any former year. The
commissioners expect to show all the
fish that can be successfully bred in
Nebraska waters, with the possibilities
of the leading streams. This will be one
of. the finest features of the big show.
Other special attractions are' being
sought after and will be announced
later."

The nomination of McShane for gov
ernor may also mean more than appears
on the, surface. On this point, however,
we reserve our conjectures until we
know that McShane has accepted. If
he' does accept in the face of inevitable
defeat .'by -at least : twenty' thousand
majority, we may look for interesting
developments. In view of the fact that
there is. not .the remotest chance of
electing any man on the democratic
state ticket, it is hardly worth while to
"discuss the candidates with any critical
eye as to their fitness to fill the respec
tive positions to w,hich they have been
nominated. Bee. . . -
It requires nerve to do what the North
Carolina rice growers are .'doing. They
are electing democratic congressmen and
casting their votes for 'Cleveland and
free trade. They have for long years
been giving their influence against the
party which is pledged to protection and
to the party which is pledged to destroy
it. They ore standing "today "o'n a - plat
form which endorses -the Mills bill.
They thereby Bay that they are in favor
of withdrawing from flax growers 26 per
cent And yet in face of all this they.
have the nerve to hurry before the re
publican senate and implore them hot to
disturb the 112 per cent- protection
which as rice growers they enjoy. .Some
sublime genius has remarked that what
is sauce for the goose ought to be good
for ihe gander. The circumstances
which occasioned this famous saying
could "not have been more rankly sug
gestive than the attitude of the demo
cratic rice growers of North Carolina.

. Horrible. Batehery.
A most horrid affair is reported from
Guide Bock, Webster Co., Neb., Sept
1st On Mr. -Weeks's farm threshing
was being done; a man named John
Baker was feeding the thresher, and a
young boy, name not given, was cutting
bands. The knife accidentally gripping
from the boy's hand struck Baker on the
hand inflicting an ugly wound. Wild
with rage he dropped his bundle, seized
the boy, threw him on the platform, and
in a moment, hie feet were among the
teeth of the cylinder. So soon as the
boy's cries were distinguished above the
din, men rushed forward, but half the
boy's body had already disappeared and
the boy was dead. The threshers made
short work of Baker, hanging him till
dead from the straw carrier.
In a big fire Sunday morning at Balti
more seven fine four-story iron and brick
front buildings on Sharp street, valued
at 81,000,000 were destroyed. In the fall
of one of the walls, nine firemen' were
buried, seven of them being killed.
Alex, and John Kelly were taken out
alive. John's left eye was burnt out of
its socket and his head badly mashed,
but the surgeon says he will recover.
Alex.'s right arm was broken and his
side badly injured. Two of the houses
contained large supplies of gun' and re
volver cartridges: these, for a quarter of
an hour, kept up a lively fusilade, the
bullets going through the windows on
all sides hurting only one man,a slight
wound near the left eye.
Ex-Congressman Townsend, of Cleve
land, Ohio, hit the nail on the head
when he remarked that "if the president
had made the discovery that England
doesn't run the United States a year ago
it would have been a good thing for
him." Mr. Cleveland's hindsight is re
markably clear. He saw the mistake of
his one-term declaration, his civil service
-reform order and his free trade message
after they were all given to the public.
It is the. same with the fisheries. Sew

V. A. McAllister.
The Schuyler Sun has this to say of
Hon. W. A. McAllister Who will undoubt
edly receive the unanimous support of
the senatorial convention of this district
and be the republican nominee for sen
ator: "Mr. McAllister has represented
Platte county twice in the state senate
and as the Humphrey Independent says,
'his record was pronounced good. His
past experience in the legislature will be
an incalculable help to aid him to ac
complish results. He is entitled to a re
election as a recognition of his faithful
labor for the county in the past and he
will receive it'"
The third party in Nebraska, known
as the prohibition party, is not satisfied
with the submission plank in the re
publican platform. No sane man ever
expected that it would be. The third
party has not been pacified in Maine,
where prohibition has been on the stat
utes for over thirty years. It is not
satisfied in Iowa and Kansas, where
prohibition amendments have been sub
mitted, adopted and reinforced by iron
clad laws. The third party does not
propose to be satisfied with anything
short of the breaking up of the republi
can party and a division of offices and
patronage among the third party agita

Mrs. Charlotte Smith, president of the

has written Chairman Ford, of the house

for the purpose of supplying fresh,
young.and pretty girls from immigrants
arriving in this country for houses of
ill-fame. Agents of the syndicate, she
says, frequently go abroad and assist in
this nefarious business. Immigrants ar
riving in New York city, furnish, she
says, 20,000 victims annually.

injured by the bursting of a large emery
wheel at the planing mill of Stephens
& Sons, Omaha, last Tuesday. With
every breath his brains would ooze for
ward. He was. the only support of his
mother, in delicate health.
The State Journal says: "The Omaha
Republican is justly indignant because
the democrats of this city have ordered
the uniforms for their flambeau club at
the penitentiary. Convict cheap labor,
yon know. There was not time, how
ever, to send over to Liverpool for the
pure democratic quill."
Last Wednesday morning the section
men found the body of a man on the
Union Pacific track three miles west of
Schuyler horribly mangled, and who had
evidently lost his life while stealing a
ride on the cars. He was seen around
town the day before and gave his name
as Henry Smith. Nothing more can be
learned and it is not known where he
belongs.
At a' gravel pit near JohnBtown last
Wednesday, while the section men were
moving some cars down a grade to get
them in position to load gravel, Mike
Corrigan was thrown under the wheels
and run over by five care. He was tak
en to Long Pine and placed in the care
of McKnight & Farleigh, who, upon in

A serious, and, it may prove, fatal ac
cident occurred ten miles south of Nor-
den Monday of last week. A span of
mules used in drawing up dirt from a
well that is being dug for John Eby ran
away as a basketful of sand was coming
up. When the bucket struck the pulley
it came uncoupled and fell into the well,
a distance of 100 feet, striking Sam
Jones in the side and crushing one leg.
Assistance was immediately called and
he was rescued from his uncomfortable
position as soon as possible. Drs. Evans
and Beattie rendered the medical and
surgical aid, and he is doing as well as
could be expected. One of the same
mules kicked a brother of Jones last
week and came near killing him.

While preparing to get breakfast for

Tuesday morning, about 7 o'clock, Mrs.
Walter Scott, residing at No., 311 North

She was an unusually-stout woman and

horrible agony in a manner that was sur

parted to its home above soon after the
fall occurred.. The one whose limb is
broken is under the treatment of Dr.
Ensign and was reported this evening to
be resting well, and in a fair way to re
cover" And yet people will continue
to drive rapidly on a curve, sit on chairs
in wagons and also OA the movable seats
that are made' so that ibey can hardly
help tipping over. We have known of
twenty fatal cases of this lastvsort of
accident '"
A most miraculous accident occurredV
at Kimball last Wednesday morning at
2:10. Passenger, train No. 3 usually
stops there for water, but being some
what late that morning did not stop.
The train passed the station at the rate
of thirty miles an hour. -One hundred
feet from the depot a rail about fifteen
feet in length broke, cutting -the engine,
express and baggage cars from the .bal
ance of .the train. Three sleeping cars
the Santa Cruz, Castele and Ormus
were thrown over an embankment fifteen
feet deep. The passengers were asleep,
but all escaped frith little or no bruises.
Washington Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.
Cleveland's message on the rejection
of the fisheries treaty is still the all ab
sorbing topic of conversation here. It
is a remarkable document; remarkable
for the complete somersault which he
has taken on this Canadian question;
remarkable for its tone of belligerence and
remarkable for pure unadulterated gall
(no other word wonld express it so well.)
He has suddenly discovered that repub
licans were on the popular side of the
question, and forthwith he proceeds to
try to get a step in advance of the sen
ate. This would be all very good, if it
were not for the damaging fact that
what is known as the "retaliation act" has
been on our statute books for eighteen
months; this act places unlimited pow
er in the hands of the president for the
protection of American interests, and
while in his message he acknowledges
that he has known of a number of in
stances in which Americans have been
unjustly treated by Canadians, he has
done nothing, has not even protested
against such treatment Now he asks
for additional power to retaliate, and
this is just where he has made a mis
calculation, lie -has iio ill lent km of io
taliating, ho only wants to make a little
political capital, but he will find that
the republican senate will not be one
whit behind the democratic house in
giving him all the power he wants, not
withstanding the fact that he has lacked
the necessary courage to make use of
the power unanimously given him by
congress a year and a half ago. When
it comes to protecting American inter
ests, the republicans are ' always in
the lead, now as in the past If Cleve
land and the democrats want to join the
ranks, even at this the eleventh hour,
and add their mite to the good cause,
the republican veterans will give them a
cordial welcome,but they cannot rule the
campaign.
The house is now in a deadlock on the
Deficiency appropriation bill, for want of
a quorum, owing to the large number of
democrats absent from the city. The
house has passed a resolution revoking
all leaves, except those granted for sick
ness, and it is hoped to have a quorum
present by the middle of the week.
Among the regular appropriation bills
still unsettled, are the sundry civil bill,
which is still in conference; the army
bill which is in the same condition, the
house having refused to accept the re
port of the conference committee, and
ordered a new one. The fortification
bill has passed the house, and is now in
the hands of the senate committee. If
all these bills are not passed by Friday,
another joint resolution extending the
old appropriations will have to be pass
ed. The nomination of Representative
Goff for governor of West Virginia by
the republicans has created a small pan
ic among democrats here. They ac
knowledge that the state is now a
doubtful one. Mr. Goff is a very pop
ular candidate, and deserves to be the
next governor of his state.
The house committee on-pensions has
reduced the amount of the pension
which is proposed to give Mrs. Sheridan
to $3,000 a year. Representative Mat
son, of Indiana, voted against giving her
any pension. The pension has also been
reduced to the same amount by the sen
ate pension committee.
Senator Hoar has offered a resolution
requesting the president to send to the
senate copies of .all communications re
monstrating with the British ffovarn-
ment against the conduct of Canada in
regard to the canals; also copies of all
demands made by the president for the
redress of wrongs done to our fishermen.
This is only a little bit of sarcasm on the
Eart of the Massachusetts senator. Re
nows very well that no such remon
strance or demand is in existence.
' Senator Chandler used a part of two
days last week" in telling how the demo
crats carry elections in Louisiana and
Florida. The practices resorted to are
enough to cause everj; American citizen
to blush for shame; but southern sena-'
tors are always ready to defend them.
The senate finance committee are still
working on a substitute for the Milla
bill, but owing to so many other im
portant bills being before the senate just
now, the members of the committee
have had little time to spare in prepar
ing the bill.
The democratic party never willingly
assumes the responsibility for anything
so it;is not at all surprising to find them
denying that they are to blame for the
present disgraceful. state of affairs in the
house.- If the majority is not to blame
I should like to know who is. The ma-
jonCX could have put a stop to granting
leaves of absence at. any time, had they
been so disposed.
