No, the democratic ora tor doesn't care to touch upon this point He doesn't care to prove the honesty and economy of this administration nn til the figures have been doctored up to suit the occasion, and the treasury sta tisticians haven't had time since Senator Allison's expose to arrange any scheme for making the figures lie. Lincoln Journal. Amono the demands made by the Union Labor organization at the state convention are an income tax; TJ. S. sen ators to be elected by the people; strict enforcement of laws prohibiting the im portation of subjects of foreign countries under contract; the exclusion of the Chinese from the United States; the ballot of women. They add "the para mount issues to be solved in the inter ests of humanity are the abolition of usury, monopoly and trusts, and we de nounce the democratic and republican parties for creating and perpetuating these monstrous evils." Seems to the Journal that usury, at least, is not a last spring's chicken. , m Nebraska's intelligent farmers and business men will cast a heavy majority in favor of protection because they de sire to develop the natural resources of this country and not some country in Europe; because they know that it is the home market that counts and that a protective policy builds up diversified industries, making sure markets close at hand, answering immediately to the demands of home interests; because they know a distinctively American pol icy when they see it and don't propose to drop the substance of their living into the stream of free trade in order to catch at the shadow. It is quite interesting to read a part of the. democratic .state -platform adopt ed at -Concord, N. H. "The platform adopted, after endorsing the platform of the national " convention, declares in favor of tariff reform, free raw materials, regulation or tne liquor traffc in the manner found successful in other states; expresses sympathy with Ireland, Glad stone and Parnell, and formally charges the republican party with being a syn dicate of political speculators, whose only purpose is to protect monopolies and trusts." .

Democrat of Sept 7.- It is sufficient to say Of this lie that it is a very blundering one. The Journal favors submitting any question of great public interest to a rote of the people, but is opposed to the adoption of the prohibitory amendment. Pierced by a Stick. East Saginaw, Mich., Sept 4. Eddie O'Brien, aged 5 years, was walking on a fence yesterday with the aid of a long stick when he fell, the stick penetrating his groin and stomach. His little broth er tried to draw the stick out and it broke off, leaving five inches of it in him. The boy then walked home and died soon after. Mast Sead Them to Catholic Schools. Malden, Mass., Sept 10. Father Feattolly, of St Mary's church, yester day announced at all tho masses that he had received instructions from the Archbishop that at a meeting of church dignitaries held at Baltimore, instruc tions were issued to all Catholics that parents must send all children to paro chial Bchools under pain of sin. A report came from Tampa, Fla., on the 5th that the fever was spreading, and seven new cases reported within the last two days. Dr. Murray reports by telegram to Washington that he has ar rived at Tampa, and that there is one isolated case at Manatee, another at Palmetto and that other river villages are healthy. A dispatch from Jackson ville of the same date to the Times Democrat states that for the last twenty four hours 51 new cases had occurred; deaths, 5; total "number of cases to date, 388; total number of deaths to date, 42. A special from Cutler, Inch, says: For the fourth time this place was the scene of 'a terrific explosion on the night of the 6th. Dynamite was placed under the post office and that structure liter ally blown to atoms. A large quantity of -dynamite was. found the next morn ing under a hotel, with 'matches half burned.

The Maine Election. Just as we go to press, wo have the following: A big republican victory; Gov. Burleigh elected by a majority of 20,000; every republican congressman elected by increased majorities; the largest republican majority since 1866; republicans elect every state senator and four-fifths of the representatives; every county in the state carried on the popular vote. American Good for American Money. American money should be spent at home to pay for American made goods. Let us sell our cotton, wheat oil and other products for cash, instead of buy ing knick-knacks with the proceeds and supporting foreign systems of labor and trade. All that America needs can be made in America, and American manu facturers are entitled to the patronage of the American people. Chicago Journal. ' A Ceatennarian Dead. Norwich,. Conn., Sept 5. Col. Geo. L. Perkins, -aged 100 years and one month,-died at the Fort Griswold honse in Groton'this evening of old age. He was treasurer of the Norwich & Worces ter .railroad for fifty years. He has voted for every president since Madison, was paymaster in the war of 1812, and organized the first Sunday school in Norwich. He was a republican in politics. Practical Tariff Talk. In a speech to the miners who visited him recently, Gen. Harrison presented some views on the tariff question which were admirably simple and effective. He did not care, he said, to present sta tistics showing that the condition of American workingmen is infinitely bet ter than that of the workingmen of any other country. It is sufficient to note the fact he urged, that the gates of Cas tle Garden swing inward for the admis sion of immigrants from all European nations, and never outward for the egress 1 of American laborers' seeking a more-de sirable land than this. That tells the whole story, and we cannot too often re mind ourselves that such testimony is conclusive as to the superior condition and opportunities which are here offered to those who have to work for a living. If men could do as well in free trade countries they -would not come here by millions to .found new homes and. live under a new form of government It is because our splendid system of protec tion has secured to .labor a measure of reward and a degree of prosperity never before known in the world that these people flock to our shores in such great numbers. Without protection to pre vent 'unjust and unfair competition, wages would be no higher than in Eng land, ror instance, and there would be no inducement for foreigners to come here. To insure the -permanence of this re markable prosperity we must jnaintain the conditions and influences which have brought it. about No elaborate argu ment is needed to establish that proposi tion. It is as plain as the easiest example in primary arithmetic. Every intelligent man knows that the more work there is to do the higher the wages will be 'for doing it "Is it not clear, then," Gen. Harrison asks, 'that the policy which Erovides the largest amount of work to e done at home is the policy which will give our laboring men steady employ ment and the best pay? And is it not equally clear that the' policy which will transfer work from our mines and. fac tories to foreign mines and factories I Douglas county is 'talking of buying a poor, farm. They 'would have -pretty hard work to find one in Platte county. - - Charles Simmons of Plattsmouth, who was bo dangerously 'shot at his shooting gallery the other .night;- tiled on .tho evening of the 8th.

Alonzo Harrington, a carpenter, 'was -run over, and killed by an east bound stock train .at Fremont on Tuesday morning. He was 35 years old and leaves a wife, and four children. On Monday afternoon last S. D. Pierce of Bloomfield, was shooting at a skunk under a crib. A glancing ball struck Mrs. Shultios,' passing entirely through her head and killing'her instantly. On the 7th four men were arrested and brought to Ogallala, charged with wil fully and maliciously placing ties pn the Union Pacific railway, near Brule? Their names have been withheld for the present 'f A report comes from Stuart, that Dick Boach, a farmer living near Bassett,-was murdered by a neighbor, Andrew Lowe, in a difficulty over some cattle, for the loss of which Boach had seized a mower belonging to Lowe. The murderer has been arrested. Ada Kirk left Saline on the 7th for Omaha. Upon arriving at Pacific Junc tion she was greatly surprised to find that she had been robbed of her money, $15, which she had in a pocket-book at tached to her person. W. C. Braithwaite, who was charged with stealing $1,000 from the Albion State bank, had a hearing on the 7th before Justice Griggs, who bound him over to the next term of court in a bond of $1,000. He made no defense. D. W. King, a well dressed and intel ligent man burglarized a house in Hast ings one afternoon last week and stole jewelry and cash to the amount of $250. The police captured him in a barn and recovered all the stolen goods. It is a clear case and he was held to answer under bond, and will be sent to the pen itentiary. Sad ending for an intelligent young man. A very sad accident happened Friday afternoon which resulted in the death of Joseph Trowbridge, a young man of 19, son of Henry Trowbridge, who lives on a farm two miles north of Neligh. The young man was in the field with a harnessed team and was riding one horse and leading the other when the horses became frightened and he was thrown to the ground. His feet were in some way entangled in the harness and he was dragged and stamped in a horrible man ner. Help and physicians were soon at hand but the young man was uncon scious. His death resulting from con cussion of the brain and severe spinal injuries, occurred at 9 o'clock. Charlie Simmons, a harness onaker who runs a small shooting gallery in connection with his harness shop at Plattsmouth, was severely and probably fatally wounded Sept. 5 by the discharge of an "unloaded" gun. A stone cutter named Boss came into the place, and picking up a gun was about to fire it, when Simmons told him it was not loaded, and asked him to hand it over. Boss lowered the gun and as he did so the trigger slipped and discharged the gun. The ball entered the abdomen, inflicting a serious wound. Simmons was removed to the Riddle house and four doctors were soon in attendance. Simmons thinks he is going to die and by bis request his brother at Cedar Bap ids, Iowa, who is his only living relative, has been telegraphed for. Last Friday a tramp entered the house of Fritz Schroeder and stole the con tents of a pocketbook, which were a five dollar gold piece, a' silver half dollar and two quarters, -besides some smaller pieces. He was seen to leave the house. Mrs. Schroeder went to the home of Po liceman .Williams -and informed him of the theft 'and came with him down to the business portion of the city where she pointed out a stranger whom she thought to be the thief. The poor fel low was searched and found to be an in nocent' party. The -real thief was seen to run down by the stock yards where he hid under the stock chute. Police man Degman was informed, who arrest ed him and the money afterwards recov ered. The fellow was allowed then to leave the city. It certainly would have been better to have him sent where he would have been boarded, free for a term.

There will be quite a number of speech es mado on this bill, but there will be little, if any, opposition to its passage. It gives Cleveland the authority he asked for in bis recent jingo Canadian message. It is not likely that, having failed to use the authority which was long ago given him, he will make use of the additional authority which this bill confers. Speaker Carlisle has gone to Virginia to try to put a little life into the dis gusted democrats. It's a big contract Senator Manderson has reported fa vorably, from the military committee, a bill introduced by Senator Sawyer to give to soldiers who served ninety days or more,-and were discharged on account of disease contracted in the line of duty the same bounty to which they would have been entitled h discharged for wounds.

"Is there much rain?" Yes, "it just pours right down" much of the time in the winter months; a deal more than I should have ordered if I had been consulted about the weather! But while we are having the warm rains, you at the north have bitter cold weather and "awful blizzards" that would shake a man's courage "all to pieces" unless it was so firm that not even an earthquake could affect it! Cotton was "king" here in the days of slavery, and the old settlers do not yet try to raise much else, but northerners raise good crops of corn and oats here, and Irish potatoes do well; in fact, all vegetables.
