Three horrible murders were reported
from Charleston, W. "Vtu, on the 11th of
August. Mrs. Gillis, a widow, with two
daughters nearly grown, living in a re

their neighbors on Friday, all three dead.
They had evidently been criminally as
saulted and murdered. No clue to the
perpetrators of the deed.
Oranoxs differ, but we believe it is
beet for republicans to hold their con
vention and make their nominations
early, giving opportunity for a thorough
canvass. Of course the committee has
this matter in charge, and will do what
they consider best. A little consultation
among the committee, however, would
not be oat of place, for there are several
'pedal reasons why republicans should
be early in the field this year.

Law.
A atisen of Harvard, in this state,
propounds some .meries to the Bee
which we deem proper to answer con
cMy. It appears that after a heated contest
as issue had been wade before District
Judge Morris with regard to the right
of the city council of Harvard to over
rale reaionstrations against the iasning
of licenses to sell liquor. According to
oar informant Judge Morris held as fol
lows: ' 1. That the Slocumb liquor law of
this state is intended to be a prohibitory
law.
2. That the protest of even one. per
son ia saaadent to prevent the council
from granting a permit to sell intoxi
cants. 2. The objections to the moral char
acter of the applicant may extend back
to the cradle of the applicant, and if his
entire life cannot stand the ordeal of
such a test, be is not the proper person
toselL
4. That be who has at any prior time
sold on a permit is disqualified on the
ground that he has sold adulterated
liquors.
If Judge Morris has been correctly
quoted bis version of the law is extraor
dinary to aay the least.
The Slocumb law was designed to be
what is expressed in its title, "An act to
regulate the license and sale of malt,
spiritous and vinous liquors." The title
of an act is its indexmd always express
es the intent of the law. No such word as
prohibition occurs in the title of the
Slocumb bill, but the right to refuse is
conferred by the act upon boards of
county commissioners and town councils
whenever public sentiment, expressed in
their election, is opposed to the traffic in
liquor. The manifest intention of the
lawmakers and the law was, local option
to regulate, restrain or prohibit, as the
majority of the people in any county or
town may direct.
The protest of one person is just as
good as those of a thousand persons,
provided that "it is satisfactorily proven
that the applicant for a license has been
guilty of a violation of any of the provis
ions of the Slocumb law within the space
of one year; or, if any former license held
by the applicant has been revoked for
any misdemeanor against the laws of
of this state."
The plain intent of the law regarding
moral character is that no person con
victed of a felony or minor criminal
offense shall be granted a lioense to sell
liquor. For such offenses the records
"from the cradle to the grave" may be
searched, and, if produced, would sus
tain a remonstrance. But ill repute
that rests upon hearsay would hardly be
sufficient as a bill of attainder.
If the dictum of Judge Morris is cor
rect with regard to adulterated liquors,
no liquor dealer in Nebraska is entitled
to a license a second time. All liquors
are notoriously more or less adulterated.
The purest of native and imported
wines and the best brands of domestic
liquors are an admixture. The only un
adulterated liquor that we know of is the
pure corn juice in the distillery, and
even the distillery alcohol will contain a
mixture of various chemical substances.
Judge Morris, who was once upon a
time a storekeeper in an Omaha distil
lery is bound to admit that fact Bee.
TALMAGEON NEWSPAPERS.
Sensible Talk by the Faatoan Preacher aa to
the Work of the Preaa.
"Every newspaper reporter in New
York is my personal friend. I have been
betrayed by nearly every class of men in
the world, and I believe there is a spirit
of fairness abroad in the newspapers
that is hardly to be found anywhere
else. There is no man, however poor, if
he has been done an injustice, that can
not get himself set aright by the news
papers. We find a great deal of fault
with the newspapers. Perhaps by our
indistinctness we are reported as saying
just what we did not say, and there is a
regular riot of commas and semicolons
and periods, and we get used to talking
about the 'blundering print press.' Or
sometimes we take up a paper full of so
cial scandals and divorce canon, and we
talk about the filthy, scurrilous press,
but I could preach a whole sermon on
the everlasting blessings of a good news
paper. A good newspaper is the grand
est temporal blessing that God has giv
en the people of this century.
"In the first place all the people read
the newspapers, and the newspapers fur
nish the greater proportion of the read
ing to the people, They don't read
books. The old people look for the
deaths, the young look for the marriages,
the business man reads the business and
financial columns, and those who are
unemployed read the want 'ads.' Great
libraries make few intelligent men and
women, but newspapers lift the nations
into sunlight.
"My idea of a good newspaper is a
mirror of life itself. Some people com
plain because the evil of the world is re
ported aa well as the good. The evil
must be reported as well as the good, or
how will we know what to guard against
or what reform? There is a chance for
discrimination as to how much space
shall be given to prize fights, but the
newspaper that merely presents the
fair and the beautiful and the bright
side of life is a misrepresentation. That
family is the best qualified for the duties
of life who have told to them not only
what &ood there is in the world, but
what evil there is in the world, and is
told to select the good and reject the
eviL." Minneapolis Tribune.
IRELAND.
Coatiaaatioa frost Last Weck'a Jearaal f
Mr. J. H. Reed's Lecture.
I spent my first Sunday in Killarney.
There are two large Catholic cathedrals,
and great crowds of worshipers at both.
After looking into each, I hunted ap a
little Methodist chapeL There was but
a small congregation but a moat excel
lent, practical sermon by a well-educated
young Irish minister, and I want to
aay a word just here, about one objec
tion to home rule, made very prominent
in England, and felt at least in this
country more or leas, that is, if the Irish
had control of their home affairs, Pro
testantism would be crushed oat of all
Ireland." I have never met a man who
has traveled there and given attention to
the matter that holds this opinion. It
ia true that the Catholic religion ia
largely predominant ia all Ireland ex
cept in Ulster at the north, but I saw
Boae of that spirit of hostility and
hatred toward Protestants of which we
hear so much. I had a Iobat talk with
the Irish Methodist, I had heard preach.

aat churches there was slow, bat every

That the Catholics

that there was no
and tamt ia
nevoleaoe, they often worked together.
Aa instance of that I had paaad ia the
streets, I saw a sign, "Total Abstinence
Soc" "Strangers Welcome." I found
my way throagh a dark hall, ap narrrow
winding stairs,' uito a large room with
plain benches, two or three tables with
a few games, files of paper, aad a email
library of well-worn books. Half a doz
en men and boys were reading. I was
exceedingly interested in the account of
the temperance work by a plainly dress
ed intelligent man who seemed to have
charge of the room. Said it was strictly
nonsectarian, while one of the priests at
the huge cathedral, was the leading
spirit; other priests and both the Meth
odist and Presbyterian ministers, took
regular and active part in the work. "So
you see those out in the world come in
same as any," he said. iVas surprised
at the Protestant element in south and
central Ireland. This Methodist man
had seven charges in and about Killar
ney, with Sunday schools connected
with each. I believe, instead of the
Protestant interests being endangered
when home rule comes, that they will be
improved by it. From Killarney I went
through this central portion of the island
to Dublin. Much of the way the coun
try is richer than any I had seen. The
most striking feature was the grass
lands. I began to understand why
Ireland is called the "Emerald Isle."
The rich green of its pastures and mead
ows is, magnificent. We have nothing,
even in our rich grass lands, to compare
with it The luxuriance and beauty are
due especially to the very moist climate.
The grain was being harvested as I
have described. There are no barns
scarcely in Ireland. Both hay and grain
are stacked, usually in large ricks which
are always carefully thatched with
straw. The holdings, or farms, I was
told, average from forty to eighty acres.
The fields are larger than in the south.
Oats is a prominent crop. When I was
there the price was from 7d to 8d per
stone, (about thirty-two cents a bushel).
For potatoes they were getting 3s for
ten stone, notwithstanding high rents,
small fields and laborious way of work
ing, prices are about the same, (about
thirty-two cents a bushel).
There are occasionally a few of the
little black Kerry cattle, but most are
well-bred Shorthorns, and uniformly
good and in fine condition. On getting
into Limerick and King's counties I be
gan to see good farm horses.
The hay and grain are all moved on
heavy two wheeled carts, often heavy
loads with two, three and sometimes
four big horses in single line. The
largest horses I ever saw, without ex
ception, were some of the dray horses in
Dublin.
I found the farm houses in this por
tion of Ireland more comfortable, but
most of the farm laborers live in little
villages of stone and mud houses, which
looked bare aad dreary.
Leaving Killarney I chanced to be
seated by an intelligent 'business man
who gave me valuable information. He
said most of the country people lived
very poorly. Had to, on potatoes mostly.
Some fish, occasionally bacon. If pota
toes failed, on maize. Said the rental of
Earl Kenmar's estate formerly amount
ed to over 90,000 (150,000), much lees
now. A little inddent impressed me
with the extent of those Irish landlords'
estates, more than any figures had done.
After riding about an hour, stopping at
several towns and villages, the gentle
man called my attention to a straight
line of stone fence running back as far
as we could see. That, said he, is the
northern boundary of Sir Hereford's
land. On looking at my map I found
we had come twenty miles since we
entered upon the Hereford estate. The
idea of one man having the absolute con
trol of all. the thickly-settled country
including towns and villages through
which we had been passing all the morn
ing, came home to me with tremendous
force.
I can but touch upon my journey on
to the north of Ireland. Dublin, the
former capital and now the chief dty,
has 250,000 population, is very old. Dub
lin castle, the reddenoe of the Lord
Lieutenant, dates back to the twelfth
century. The noted Phoenix Park, in
ancient times belonged to the Knights
Templar. It is very large and fine.
The city is well built.- Business exceed
ingly dull The political troubles seem
ed to occupy the minds of all classes.
I shall never forget the scenes about
the bulletin boards, where the morning
papers were posted in such a manner
that all the news could be read by those
standing around, too poor to buy a copy.
I often stopped to watch them as they
read of Irish evictions, imprisonments,
etc, some with tears in their eyes, some
anger and vengeancepeaking from their
countenances, others with a sad but de
termined look as they turned and walk
ed away. But the hard part was, that
all this time some of the armed English
police were standing about, ready to use
their authority, should half a dozen men
stop to discuss the condition of affairs.
Englishmen and some Americans hold
up their hands in horror if the long
repressed passions of some of these men
occasionally get the better of their judg
ment, and in a conflict, a foreign con
stable is injured. I can only wonder
that such things do not occur more
frequently.
Belfast, in the north, is comparatively
a modem city. It was settled by Eng
lish and Scotch in the seventeenth cen
tury. The business portion is well
built, and the city seemed much more
busy and prosperous than any other I
had been in. The shipping and manu
facturing interests are extensive. Flax
is the most imported product at Ulster
and there are many large linen mills in
and near Belfast Embroidering and
hand sewing of linen and cotton is one
of the leading occupations, thousands of
girls aad women working in large fac
tories and ia their own homes at this
work. Mach of the fine hand work on
linen aad cotton so prominently dis
played in oar large American stores,
comes from Belfast. I went into one of
the large linen stores, when the proprie
tor gave me some idea of the inside of
the basiness. He said many American
jobbers visited Belfast aad left large
orders for these goods. Said they were
made by the piece. That at first girls
could mot can mach, bat when they be.
expert, they would earn from4d
to 6d per day on the average, some more.
Here is a sample of what he sold at 6s
per half dosen. Said he paid 6s ($L50)
per dosen for the hand work oa them,
aad that an active girl would 'do one a
day.
I had hoped to have said something of
the future of Ireland, but if I have suc
ceeded in giving you some truer and
clearer notion of the people, their con
dition and present treatment, it will be
better that you draw your own conclu
sions. I cannot refrain, however, from
eying, that in my opinion, very great
progress has been made in the past year,
and that the day for home rule in Ire
land, which means the day of new hope
and greater prosperity and happiness,
for that worthy people, is in the ngar
future.
the end. J
Coaaty Fair.
The season for fairs is fast approach
ing and no doubt many people are
getting ready for the occasion. Allud
ing to this subject, calls to mind a con
versation I had with a lady of my
acquaintance. While visiting at her
home a short time she escorted me all
around her premises, including the gar
den, in which she took special pride, as
she had tended it herself most of the
time. While talking with her, she
pointed to a bed of beets of gigantic
size and made the remark that she had
a notion to take a specimen of them to
the fair. "Why yes!" says I, "surely I
would if I were you." She answered me
by saying that perhaps it would not be
worth while. . The days came and passed
away and so did the fair but those mem
orable beets and the owner of them
failed to make their appearance on the
grounds. It is not an uncommon thing
to hear an individual ask' a question in
this wise. Did you attend the fair this
year? Oh, yes, is the reply. Well, what
did you think of it? Just passable, and
it hardly paid me for going there.
Now, I think these public exhibitions
are intended to benefit the people and
it depends largely on the people if they
make a success of these enterprises. En
couragement goes a great way in the
effort to excel in any branch of useful
ness; especially is this true among the
youthful portion of the community. A
conscientious feeling at one's heart that
they have done their very best is better
than a dozen premiums. Home is al
ways the best place to begin the work
of doing good, and as everyone cannot
attend a Paris or London exposition,
they can, with but little trouble, have an
exhibition of their own which can be
made attractive to any beholder. The
natural resources of the country, com
bined with the inventive genius of man
kind, are sufficient to produce quite a
display when brought together. I see no
reason why a county fair cannot be made
both interesting and profitable, unless
every one comes to the conclusion that
it is not worth while.

Waxhiagton Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.
Secretary Windom has returned from
his trip to Boston and will remain here
for a few days before taking a short va
cation. He has worked very hard since
the 4th of March, as in fact have all the
cabinet officers. Few people outside of
Washington have any idea of the hours
these officials have been obliged to put
in at their desks. The opening of a new
administration always means unlimited
hard work for the men who have to map
out and put into operation its policy,
and this being such a radical change
from the democratic administration has
made the amount of work to be done
much greater than usual. It is no ex
aggeration to say that the members of
the present cabinet have worked harder
during the last five months than they
ever did before in their lives and several
of them have been for years at the head
of large and successful private business
concerns. They have all earned a rest.
"Sunset" Cox, the "funny" democratic
congressman from New York never for
gets to be humorous. He has juBt re
turned to Washington from a trip
through the four new states and he
coolly claims credit for the passage of
the bill making them states by the last
congress. This is carrying a joke almost
too far. If I remember aright, and I
think I do, the credit for the passage of
that bill belongs to the republicans,who
informed their obstinate democratic col
leagues that unless the bill was allowed
to go through the house, the president
would call an extra session immediately
after his inauguration for the express
purpose of passing it. Mr. Cox is enti
tled to the credit of having had sufficient
political sense to make a virtue of neces
sity, and for having persuaded some of
his more near sighted democratic col
leagues to vote for the bilL Let Mr.
Cox be as funny as he wants to, but
don't let the record on this subject be
muddled or confused.
One pensioner of the government has
just had a piece of good luck. His name
is Richard Whiting, and in 1883, he was
granted a pension of $24 a month, which
was subsequently increased to. $50 a
month. Afterwards through a mistake
made by a surgeon the pension was re
duced to $8 a month. The pensioner
applied for a reopening of his case, and
assistant secretary Bussey has just de
cided that he is entitled to a pension of
$72 a month and arrears since his dis
charge which will amount to $12,000.
Ex-postmaster general Frank Hatton's
latest charge against the civil service
commissioner is that lists of the ques
tions to be asked at examinations have
been sold to applicants. He has not yet
stated who sold the papers or when the
offense was committed.
It is said that ex-attorney general Gar
land has been employed to represent the
Northern Pacific railroad in this city at
a salary of $25,000 a year. It is to be
hoped that his experience with thin cor
poration will be pleasanter and more
profitable than what he had with the
Pan-Electric Telephone Company not
many years ago.
Before leaving the city for a Bhort rest
secretary Noble received the preliminary
report of the commission which has been
investigating the re-rating of pensions.
He has instructed the commission to
proceed with the investigation. He
wants the proceedings for twelve months.
He declined to make public the prelimi
nary report but said the full report
should be given to the public just as
soon as it is finished. I understand that
the secretary is satisfied from the report
that there baa been no serious wrong
doing but he deemed it good policy to
have a fuller investigation made lest
aome'of the enemies of the pension oAoe
should aay that the months included in
the preliminary investigation Decem
ber, 1888, and May, 1889,-had been se
lected beforehand on account of the
bowing they made.
Col. W. W. Dudley laughs at the idea
of his being arrested while passing
through Indiana on his way to the G. A.
B. encampment at Milwaukee, and says
he will certainly go if he can possibly
arrange his business so that he can get
away from here.
Secretary Rusk has returned from his
business trip to Now York. He has ta
ken no vacation yet.
United States treasurer Houston has
gone to Saratoga to attend a meeting of
the executive committee of the national
republican league.
Secretary Proctor has telegraphed that
he will return to Washington tomorrow.
NEBRASKA NOTES.
They had a good attendance and
grand old time at the soldiers' reunion
at Kearney last week.
An inmate patient one night last week
made his escape from the asylum at
Hastings, by tying all the bed clothes
together and escaping from the second
story where he was confined. He was
captured next day about fifteen miles
northwest of Hastings.
They had a very heavy rain at Beatrice
one night last week, which caused the
waters to overflow from the Big Blue
river and Indian creek. The railroad
tracks were flooded and the men and
boys moved from the trees and women
and children from the house tops. One
team was drowned and the paper mill
dam was washed out.
Lincoln was visited one night last
week by the severest rain storm ever
known there. Salt creek began to over
flow about midnight. No bad result
was feared until about noon the next
day, when the whole valley containing
about one thousand acres within the
city limits and raised in depth from one
to twelve feet. Railroad tracks were
washed out, and quite 1,500 people loft
without a home and had to be cared for
by the mayor, city officers and friends.

Mr. B. Solomon of Woodbury county,
Iowa, has bought the right and improve
ments on school land n.w. of section
36, town 19, range 3 west, of Mr. A. Hen
rich, this being the last part of that gen
tleman's farm land.
Mr. Frank Sholles is about to build a
house on his farm on section 20, town 19,
range 3 west.
Mr. Hopkins has had a great pile of
brick hauled to his lot in Platte Center
which looks as though there was to be a
big building some day.
Mr. D. C. Kavanaugh has had the fin
ishing touches done at the new brick
Baptist church in Platte Center. Mr.
Frank Sholles is plastering and Mr. Har
mon carpentering. Mr. Eames, senior,
has the frosting and lettering of the
windows. The building committee have
ordered a fine bell of the best material
from St. Louis and they expect to open
the church for the first divine service in
English and German on the first day of
September.
- Corn promises a rich harvest, the late
rain having checked the corn worm
which threatened, but did not do, much
damage after all.
The candidates for offices are all being
"pushed forward, by their friends" of
course, and will no doubt "all sacrifice
themselves and all their personal inter
est to the public welfare." But there
are, without joking, true and honest men
in the field, and every voter ought to
give his vote, regardless of party procliv
ities to the best man.
Mr. Charles Kaminsld, a former resi
dent of Platte county, son of old Mr. K.
on Shell creek and brother-in-law of
sheriff Bloedorn died at Chicago, leaving
a widow and a number of small children.
His father and mother were called by
telegraph but could not undertake the
journey by reason of age, etc. He was
their only child. Sad for the aged
couple, too.
The Rev. Mr. Griswold, having man
fully come out against the desecration
of Sunday in Columbus, ought to be
sustained by every well-meaning citizen
of every and of no political and religions
convictions throughout the country, ex
perience having proved beyond all con
troversy that no community can prosper
without a due regard for the day of rest
for man and beast. But there are places
even worse than Columbus in that re
spect, and decent people will not be
likely to locate in such towns; vacant
store buildings and vacant houses prove
this beyond doubt.

Mr. Eugene Bacon is busy sinking an
other well on the lot of the Platte Center
high school, the old well not furnishing
the best water, and .the board are de
termined to have the best. They have
also secured the services of a gentleman
of very high reputation as to moral char

Mr. J. H. Watts is building a brick
cellar and foundation under the dwelling
house on Mr. Wm. Bloedorn's farm on
Shell creek a good improvement on that
valuable piece of land.
Mr. Johannes has rented his fine farm
on Shell creek, had a good chance to sell
at $25 per acre, but refused as the par
ties were not willing to pay as much
down of "the stuff that makes the mare
go!" as he wanted.
There seems to be great demand for
farms to rent and also better sale of land
than for years before. Platte county
needs only to be known to be sought for.
