It is the one means of bringing about a grand victory. The president has .approved the act authorizing -Hill to appoint Alfred Pleasanton major in the army and plac- ing him on the. retired list with that rank and grade. Frjrr new Cases of yellow fever were "reported at Jacksonville, Fla., for the past twenty-four hours, on the 20th, and only one death; total number of cases, 3769; total number of deaths, 327.

The meeting of the Presbyterian synod at Madison recently was one of the best in the history of the church in this state. Eighteen --new' church organizations the past ' year, makes the number now in the state 215,-with 145 ministers. . . Republicans must not only consider it a privilege to vote, but absolutely'a ' duty, when they'have such a good ticket for president- and vice president, Harri- son and Morton. Not one mistake mad6 by either since their nominations. - ; One night hist week, at a republican, meeting, at Brownstown, Ind- Dick .Bnrrell and Wm. Winscott got into a fight and Winscott shot Burrell through the heart. They had been on bad terms tor some time. Both were democrats. Winscott was arrested. s Sha0HBLPAv ' &aV3ti$ififf,AiBCHiii,s speech in New York did not satisfy the pnblie that this administration is working in the inter ests of the public in placing' most of the surplus .with .certain national banks throughout the country, without inter erest, to do what they pleased with it, in their line of business. A surplus is a good thing for the government to have in case of an .emergency, good to have and to accumulate in order to meet an indebtedness coming due; good to hare to draw upon for needed current ex penses, but it is not good to have for the purpose of using it as a political cam paign fund. "The end justifies the means" has always been the motive spring of democratic leaders, of the Cleveland caliber, and the country'can -expect nothing better. An article in the Chicago Tribune gives a list of the banks favored, Omaha coming in for a large share, 9643,622. Aa the Tribune says, ".Republicans have macle itersistent but unavailing at tempts in the House to secure a special committefo investigate this free loan ing of public funds. The committee of banking and currency has wholly ignor ed the resolution proposing an investi gation which wasj referred to it. An effort to discharge the committee and have direct action in the House was de feated by rulings from the Speaker pro tern. Since the extent of this loaning .of the public funds was discovered the democrats have done U in their power to obstruct an investigation of the mat ter." - " It will not result, in any good to rea son and present in a calm and pleasant way an argument in favor of strictly obeying and executing all national and state election laws with a certain class of men, who are determined at all haz ard to violate -and disregard them. We 1 wish again to admonish this class of men that this desire to violate election laws will not be tolerated in a government of the people claiming to be regulated and run on democratic and republican prin ciples. Such violations are known to exist in certain localities nnder this republican government are not, and cannot be permitted. No arm ed force, in a short time, will be able to prosecute such violations of law. We egain, and for the best interests of the country, entreat the men engaged in these violations of election laws to cease at once, and never let another report reach the public of a single violation of these laws in any portion of the United States. .It is not a good thing for our people to engage in such acts, which strike at the very foundation stones of our governmental structure, and tend to its overthrow. The republicans have placed in nomi nation for county representative a re spected citizen of Humphrey. W. A. Hampton is particularly fitted for legis lative work, for several reasons: He has a quick intellect that could readily ob serve and grasp the situation and state of a question, and having observed, he has the moral courage to stand up for his convictions against all odds that may be brought against him. He has a dignity of manner, and high regard for honor and right that would make him unapproachable by the polluting, pur chasing power that thwarts the will of the masses, by corrupting the legisla tors. He makes the work in hand his study and has the qualifications to make an able; efficient and usefnl sen-ant, and will appceciate the .honor, if elected, by giving the office the thorough atten tion, care and study that has character ized bis private business and has lieen the cause of his snecess. Humphrey Independent. Judge Thuhman's outspoken address es on the tariff question leave no intelli gent voter in doubt respecting the use he would make of the casting vote in tho United States senate, if made vice president. Twice before in the history of this country has the cause of protec tion been beaten by the deciding vote of the vice president. The senate today is so evenly divided that the gain of a sin gle seat will enable the democracy to pass the Mills bill with the aid of the vice president's vote. Judge Thurman would cast that vote. He has proclaim ed his sympathy with legislation in direct opposition to protection and there can be no doubt as to the stand taken by him. Do the people of this country want to run the risk involved? Lincoln Journal. . ' The republican ticket was made com plete by the nomination of W. A. McAl lister for senator. Mr. McAllister will be a power for good, if elected. His. knowledge and experience of legislation will assist him materially in his work. It is useless for the people to expect great things from a new. member, who is unfamilliar with the work, and the. pow er and influence brought to bear to de feat just and right legislation. If a man has reasonably satisfied the diverse de mands of his numerous constituency, the fact that his experience is valuable aids to the work, ought to influence the voters who have the interest of the county and state at heart to support him. Humphrey Independent. Four Italians have been arrested at White Haven, Pa, charged with the murder of Paymaster McClure and his assist, Flannigan, near Wilikesbarre the other day. Flannigan,- one of the mur dered men, is now said to have had on his person when killed about $17,000 in bonds and securities, which are missing, in addition to the $12,000 cash stolen from McClure. Suspicion arrests upon two brothers living near the scene of the of the tragedy. They were well known, to be sharp shooters and'were known to be out hunting that day. The theory that the Italians had committed the double murder is not believed by de tectives. . . Lincoln Journal: The Omaha Repub lican very' cruelly asks the Herald. of .that city to point out just- what Mr. McShane has accomplished in' congress for the benefit of his state. This is taking an .un-Christian advantage of a poor, defenseless man that is highly censurable, from a democratic point of of view. Watchfulness on the part of republi cans can, in most cases, detect all un lawful registration of voters, and with properly organized committees on the part of republicans many violators of -election laws may.be hunted down and brought to justice, and duly punished. If the proper precautions are taken in New York city, it will be good for the republicans. Wmcf the laws of the United States or of any state permit the election of presi dent or any state officer by .unlawful voting, it is time those laws be more strictly executed or so -amended -that fraud can more readily be detected and punished. Let republicans use -every proper effort to secure and bring about honest elections and thereby save their country and its people from the terrible 'consequences of a revolution. .United States as well as state laws upon this subject must 'be obeyed and strictly enforced. - . The. republicans of West Virginia pre dict victor there' on these grounds: The passage of the Mills bill, the demo cratic platform in this campaign, would destroy, their lumber interests; all .the hills are filled with mineral; a thorough canvass has been made by republicans oil protection alone; popularity of Goff, the republican ..nominee for. governor. 1,000 majority. Lincoln Journal: One of the men who are doing good-work for the republican party in this state' in the campaign is Gen. A. J. Sampson of Denver. He is a popular speaker and inconstant demand.

General Harrison has been steadily growing in the respect and liking of the country ever 'since he was. nominated. It isn!t merely that he is a thoroughly good man, and that partisan malice itself can find nothing to say against his char acter.' He is also an exceptionally able man. and he has his wits constantly about him, ready for use at a moment's' notice. Withal he has a happy knack of saying the.right thing in a taking, efr fective way,--pt packing his thought into a phrase that goes-as straight to its mark as a bullet. - It is a very unusual ordeal to which; these scores of visiting delegations- each bound, to have a" speech have' sub-' jected the Republican candidate; an ordeal from which public men of long experience and solid acquirements and facile oratory would shrink, and with good reason. How wonderfully well -he has borne it the country knows. The cheap campaign criticism which profess es -to see nothing in this remarkable series of speeches but "platitudes" is perfectly on a par with the cheap cam paign humor which thinks it funny- to depict this old general of the Union, ex Senator and leader qf the Indianapolis bar as an insignificant dwarf, staggering nnder the weight of his grandfather's hat. .'.

Senator Allison has settled a disputed point, which was caused by an error in the senate tariff bill, that made it appear that coal was to be on the' free. list. Mr' Allison says that it is the .intention of the republican members of the senate committee on finance, to put all coal on the dutiable list, as now provided; the tariff' upon coal to be made 75 cents a ton, and upon slack 30 cents a ton. Chairman Barnum, of the 'democratic national committee, spent Friday and Saturday in this. city, engaged in what, to mo, oppears no whit better than high way robbery. The day before .his ar rival he mailed, circular letters' to. all government employes here -telling them that he wished them to call upon him at his hotel on Friday-and Saturday, for' the purpose of making campaign con tributions. Those who called upon him were plainly informed that he wanted 5 per cent, of their annual, salary for the democratic national 'committee; they were further informed that those who did not come up with the money asked for, need not expect to retain their po sitions under a democratic administra tion. To leave no doubt in the minds of the clerks as to the authority which Mr. Barnum has to carry out his threats in case of their refusal to contribute, they have been .informed by their su perior officers that they must contribute or go. The democratic party must be desperate, indeed, when it resorts, to such means as this' for the sake of rais ing a few thousand dollars. The house was in session only two days last week Tuesday, and Friday and it is not likely to meet oftener this week. The fact of the matter is that so few of the members of the house remain here, that several representatives have come to tho conclusion that it would not be right to adopt any legislation. of importance, and have given notice that they would raise the joint of "no quo rum" against anything but private pen sion bills, and a resolution to take a recess or adjourn. The senate is also without a quorum, and the number, present is daily growing less; as fast as the senators make their speeches' on the tariff bill, they leave for home, with the expressed intention of not returning un til after election. The fact being patent that it will be impossible to pass the senate tariff bill before election, added to. the anxiety of both members and senators to get home and take part in the campaign, makes it certain that con gresswill either take a recess or adjourn inside of ten days, and those best in formed think it will be an adjournment until December. The show of the city just at present is sixty Sioux Indian chiefs, who are en gaged in. a grand pow-wow with the officials of the interior department con cerning the proposed treaty by which they are to' sell the government 11,000, 000 acres of their present reservation. Mr. Cleveland has pardoned J. H. G. Wilcox, formerly second lieutenant seventh cavalry, who was undergoing a sentence in the penitentiary for dupli cating his pay accounts. The bill .retiring Gen. Alfred Pleas anton with the rank of major has been passed by both houses, and is now in the hands of the president. Senator Hoar has introduced a bill providing that the rates of pension for total disability incurred in the. naval service of the .United States during -the late war, shall be. $50 per month, when ever it shall appear that the pensioner was on .board any war vessel of the United States during' an engagement with the enemy, for which the officers and crew received the. thanks of the secretary of the navy for gallantry and endurance. It is a difficult matter for those hav ing business before, the departments here, to find a secretary in his office these days- They' spend about four fifths of their time making stump speeches for free trade, and the other one fifth in preparing the speeches. There is a rumor that no successor to "Bishop" Oberly-will be appointed on the civil service commission, Mr. Cleve land having decided that the commis sion was a useless body, owing to the practical suspension of the civil service law by the- officials of the present ad ministration, from the president down.

In the winter of 1856 there was a small band of eight or ten persons .mostly bachelors, who wintered here, and there is a tradition to the effect that having provided, a wild turkey for their Christ mas dinner, and recollecting that accord ing.to.all precedent a. turkey should be stuffed before roasting, and being unfa miliar with the modus operandi of that process, they utilized the. most conven ient article on hand, which happened to dried apples. After the fowl was placed in the oven, there was soon an exemplifi cation of the proverbial expansibility of that article of diet under the influence of moisture, and it is. also, stated that the flavor of tho ruins of that turkey was not improved by the dressing. The following spring of 1857 witnessed the arrival of quite a number of new settlers and on the approach of the "day we .celebrate" arrangements were made for-the first celebration of the Fourth of July ever held, in Platte county. The celebration was held along side, of the store of Frank G. Becher near the place where his son John now resides. A din ner was prepared and a stage erected, on which .the. addresses were delivered. The orators were. Alex. B. Pattison,-the first probate judge elected in Platte county, who subsequently returned to Indiana, and commanded a company of an Indi ana regiment in the army of the Potomac under Gen. McClellan, and. also through Gen.. Grant's campaign, and. is now a banker at Laurenceburgb', Indiana; Geo. W. Hewitt, the other orator, was subse quently the editor of a democratic paper at New London, Conn. The ad dresses were goodj and contained the regulation -allusions to "the time that tried men's souls," and the star-spangled banner. Towards the latter part of the after noon the eyes of all were directed east ward, down the military road, for it was understood that Uncle Sam had granted a tri-weekly service from Omaha to Fori. Kearney, and the first stage was expect ed to arrive that afternoon, which, it may be easily imagined, was a great event to the squatters, as previously, the only mails' we had were brought by the teams that made trips to Omaha and return for goods. Finally a cloud of dust denoted its coining and in a few minutes, amid the enthusiastic cheering of the assembled squatters, the mail coach arrived, and delivered the first regular mail at pur post-office. Home Industry v'h. Free Home. Trade Patronize While standing on the corner of the street the other day, I overheard a man make the remark that it would make no particular difference to our merchants and businessmen here if the people were to go to Omaha and buy their groceries and dry goods or anything else they needed, because he thought they could buy cheaper in Omaha than here! What an idea! To think it would not hurt our business men here. That man must be a "free trade' crank, to hold forth such an idea. It might not affect tho town much for two or three or Bay a dozen families tp buy their supplies elsewhere, but let all the people in the city and surrounding country buy their supplies in Omaha for, we will say, sixty days, where would our business men be? Where would our fine stores be? Why,, any one can answer that: Bursted high er than -a kite, and stores locked up. Common -sense and reason would tell any one this. It is just the same with labor, if we send abroad for labor. Can we . expect to . keep good -mechanics among us? No, they will go somewhere else. If it was not for the laboring class, what would this or any other city or country amount to? Who is it puts money into the rich man's pocket? Who is it pays the most of our taxes, builds our railroads, bridges and fine houses? The laborer. Then why not help him? He helps you, protect him. Why is it our merchants and business men here have imposed a tax on nearly all kinds of business? Was it because -they had more money than they knew what to do with? No, it was to keep men that did not live here, nor pay taxes, from selling or doing business here, unless they con tribute something to the support of city police, waterworks, etc. Here is a little "protective tariff' right at home. If it is better for our merchants to have "protective tariff why not the nation? Let us practice abroad what we preach at home and vice versa. Some say "this is a free country, we can trade or get our work done where we choose, we are the ones that pay for it" That is true enough, jt is free now, or supposed to be,-but if all the people that have and ( keep the most of the money, were to do this, how long would it be free? I say the laborer would soon be worse off than the negro before the rebellion. Where do the men, from the millionaire down to the smallest merchant, get their money, if it is not out of the laboring men? One man says he can get such and such a job of work done' in Omaha for seven dollars you would charge eight for. Well, that man had better go-to Omaha and live. He forgets what it is worth io earn his bread by tho 'sweat at his brow.' It is true 'some may over charge for their work,, but there are. others in., the same community -.who will do it for what is-'right. I, for one, say it is not -right to oppress any one or any class of- people. If it is worth Jive dol lars 'for one 'man to'do certain job of work-it is worth that, for another to do . it, and any man that will try to get it donefor less than, -it is' worth is not honest, and he .would rob his own father if he' got. tho chance. I say live and let live, protect home! Show me the man who would not help .father, son, or brother before he' would a stranger, that would not help home before he would abroad, and I willhov a man that is no good' to himself or any one else. ' I say protect home and nation. Our home is just .like the nation; only on a smaller scale. Protection is one of nature's first laws.- . ...
