Secbetaby Vilas' opened the demo

to enlarge upon the fact that with all its
corruption and all its "jobs" the pre

995,000,000 less than the present one,

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.

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." .

' 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

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

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

the theft 'and came with him down to

she pointed out a stranger whom she
thought to be the thief. The poor fel
low was searched and found to be an in

to run down by the stock yards where
he hid under the stock chute. Police
man Degman was informed, who arrest

been better to have him sent where he

.The bill known as the retaliation bill,
which has just "been perfected -by the
house committee on foreign affairs, has
been reported to the house! and made, a
special continuing order for tomorrow.
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.

that after the.$40,00p structure over the

not so much bull-headed contrariness.
With paying the enormous amount of
interest on -bonds besides our other
taxes and .the money foolishly invested
in sticking brush in the sand, hoping
thereby -to turn the course of the raging
-Loup, we feel that the tax payers had
bettor consult their best interests. and
simply vote no on the bond question till
we are amply able to build a permanent
bridge over the Platte and know where
it will be located, as the call carefully
avoids saying anything about where it
is to be located. No doubt they will
say a committee will be appointed for
the purpose and I doubt not that the
bosses- could tell you now, if they de
sired,who the committee will be.

Editor Journal: I. have within the

from your subscribers (some of whom
are strangers to me), all asking ques

them through your paper.
We Btarted south from Iowa in search
of a mild climate, 'and as we found it
here in abundance, and of excellent
quality, "here we pitched our tents."
This climate has a mild, genial influence
on the whole breathing apparatus, mak
ing it a desirable location for those who
have the catarrh or asthma, are con
sumptive, or who have almost any
chronic disease.
"Is there ague?"
Those who settle on the low land or
near where the river overflows and water
stands there for a while will be apt to
have a touch of it, and feel the mosqui
toes also.
"Are there any fleas?"
Well, I guess you can have them here,
if you let hogs run around the door and
keep one or two dogs in tho house! bnt
I have seen only two fleas in Arkansas
and not more than fifty mosquitoes.
"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. One sweet potato brought
from our garden today weighs two
