Bowman, Chairman. Secretary. Get Tagetter." Would it not be a good idea for the real estate men of this part of Platte valley, amy from Columbus aa forwent as Grand Island, to organise themselves into what is known in other parts of the west as a real estate association, having for its object concerted action toward showing the people of the country at large the magnificent advantages which this section of the great west has to offer in the way of cheap and fertQe lands? A good plan is to form a stock company, the money received from the sale of stock to be used in advertising purposes. There are many men not en gaged in the real estate business, but who own land, or are otherwise directly interested in the up-budding of the country, who could well afford to take stock in an enterprise of this sort for the benefits they would derive from its workings. There is not a business man, professional man, banker, capitalist, me chanic, fanner or laboring man within the limits named who would not in some way receive a benefit and price of real estate would soon come up to where it belongs. We have as fine a country right here in the heart of Nebraska as the sun shines upon; all we want is more people to make it a veritable garden. We want tillers of the soil, men who are willing to delve into our rich soil and by the hon est sweat of the husbandman's brow bring to the surface the fabulous wealth that lies hidden there. We do not want an artificial boom, and none of the towns within the limits named, have any diamond-studded town lots in additions several miles from no where that they want to dispose of to eastern suckers at fancy prices. There is not a town from Columbus to Grand Island but can stand on its own bottom. The country that surrounds each is suf ficient guaranty of its stability and ulti mate prosperity. It is only a question of more or less time when all these things will be brought to the notice of the world, the problem is simmered down to this: Shall we auow opportunity, now tnat it is within our reach, to escape us and re turn to be grasped by the more enter prising generation to succeed us? There are practically no conflicting interests to hinder Platte, Merrick and Hall coun ties from joining hands and working in a common cause, and our real estate men and land owners are proper parties to head the movement. Get together, boys, and see what can be done. A few thous and dollars expended in the right place for advertising purposes would accomp lish wonders, and by getting the rail roads interested it would not be so dif ficult a mattert to raise the money. The Central City Nonpareil, from which we clip the above, talks good, strong common sense, which always ap proves itself to Journal readers. Now is the time to do what we can toward securing the breaking up and cultiva tion of every acre of land in this section of country, thus building up home mar kets. Each of these towns has a radius of country tributary that, if properly put under cultivation, cannot be taken away by means of cross railroads or by rival towns; a radius of country that can be made to bring forth wonderfully of all that has made Nebraska what she is. We can double, treble, quadruple our re tail market just so soon as these lands are settled upon and cultivated, and year by year, their value as a foundation for a city's prosperity, will become more and more apparent. As the Nonpareil says, we need no balloon inflation, only straight business. Let us develop all our natural resources at the earliest practical moment. Hon. S. S.Cox is reported as dying.

Tactics of Tariff Reformers. Under the promise of getting more American products into foreign markets the free trade preachers urge that all barriers against foreign competition shall be removed from our home market. The unfairness, the hollownesa of their. proposal becomes apparent when all the facts of the situation are given consider ation.' Our home market is the best market in the world; best, not only for the reason that our people are the most liberal buyers in the world.but for the fur ther reason that it is the only one in which they can trade and have all the profits of the transaction inure to the na tional wealth. The proposal is further unfair because it demands the giving of a certainly for an uncertainty a consid eration of tangible and enormous value for a chance to contest for something al ready in the possession of commercial rivals. European nations, whose teem ing people crowd the narrow margin be tween poverty and starvation, already have subsidized lines of ships pushing the products of their factories and mines into the harbors of every foreign coun try able to buy anything. To secure any portion of this trade Americans must supply similar products for less money, or bettor ones for prices now paid Europeans. The fact that their customers in other countries are unable or unwilling to use and pay for the pro ducts already available is what occas ioned the solicitude of Europem manu facturers for a better hold on the mar kets of the United States. Not content with the nearly $100,000,000 worth of manufactures annually sold here, they seek to still further supplant domestic labor in supplying the wants of the American peopled The fact that this would give work to idle people in foreign lands and profits to foreign capital, is with them a potent argument, while that other fact, that increased foreign purchases means enforced idleness for thousands in this country, is deemed to be outside of those results theyare call ed upon to consider. Not content with the decision against free trade last year, the champions of this unpatriotic policy have begun agi. tation for a reversal of the verdict in favor of giving the people of this coun try the first right in their own markets. Without regard to consistency in their pleas, these crusaders are again seeking the ears of those who so lately repudiat ed their teachings. While one set re peats to the former that.competition in foreign markets will swell the prices of uo iuuuuw, auotner assures tue me chanic that free trade will enable him to live cheaper, notwithstanding the fact that the greater part of his expenses is for what must be bought from the farm er. One "reformer" will tell the wool grower that under free trade the im pulse to manufacturers will insure high er prices for wool, while another goes to the laborer with the promise that free wool will bring cheaper clothing. Any. thing to secure a reversal of last year's verdict at the polls. It remains to be seen wnetner this effort will be more successful than the multitude of its predeceaBors.

Whsm Mr. Mfflsjf Texas, cametollliaoisandsrxikeforthelmo- crats during. the residential campaign, did yom hear The Inter Ocean apeak of him as one "shipped into the State by the Democratic committee?'' Or did the Commercial Gaxette, of Cincinnati, speak thus offensively of Governor Gordon when he traversed Ohio in the Demo cratic cause? Surely not Bat the Daily States pleads that the presence of Mortnern uongrossmen is objectionable, because their efforts must be impotent The Third District, says the Daily States, is sure to go Demo cratic. That remains to be seen, but it can not be any more certain to go Dem ocratic than Ohio and Illinois were to go Republican. In fact, the very cer tainty of the Republican trend of new States gave a pleasant comedy aspect to the presence of Messrs. Mills and Gor don. If on a full and fair vote, honestly counted, the Third District of Louisiana is sure to go Democratic why should the Daily States and other Democratic leaders of that district be otherwise than amused by the presence of Messrs. Bur rows, Bowell, and Peters? The question is natural, indeed inevitable, to the situ ation. The Daily States assumes that the gentlemen are in the Third District as "spies." Which provokes another question: Spies upon what? Surely not upon honest methods? Honesty will bear unlimited espionage. We did not complain of Messrs. Breckinridge, Mills, and Gordon acting as spies upon North ern methods in the late campaign. We had nothing which we were afraid of their discovering and proclaiming to the whole world. The Daily States profess es fear that the very honorable and dis tinguished Northern gentlemen who are now guests of the Republican party in the Third District of Louisiana should "manufacture evidence of bulldozing and fraud sufficient to justify a Republican House in unseating the Democrat elect ed." No such fear was ever expressed by any Northern Republican newspaper as to the presence of any Southern and Democratic Congressman in any debata ble district. Messrs. Burrows, Rowell, and Peters are not the kind of men who would "manufacture evidence." It is paltry and disgraceful party malice which attributes such a disposition to them. But neither are they men who will be afraid to tell what they have seen. If they witness a fair election they will say so. If they do not they will say so. Chicago Inter Ocean. Somr of the best things known to man have come when the indefatigable creature was working for something else. It seems to us that more attention should be given to the devefepaaent of the natural resources of the country, and a permstentystematicnientinc method adopted. Otherwise we will have to con tinue, as heretofore, to stumble along, satisfied with an occasional, and, as it- were, accidental find. These words are suggested by the fact that last Tuesday at Duluth, Minn, "a blast was touched off where workmen are excavating for the basement of the new Presbyterian church and a large amount of -rock was discharged, disclosing an immense piece of float or native copper surrounded by a large vein of what miners call gray copper. It is evidently part of the same vein which was struck some months ago when excavating for the Masonic temple. Its course will be traced outside the city limits, and if it holds out, mining opera tions will commence at once." The U.S. senatorial investigation into dressed beef transportation, taking place last week at Chicago is likely to result in some good, even if a negative sort. It has been impossible for the committee to secure the attendance of Swift or Armour, even after promises by both that they would attend and testify.

NEBRASKA FAMILY : J0UKNAL A Weekly Newspaper igsief every Wruiesa'ar. There are quite a number of people con jectunng what John Stauffer is going to do. It is conceded all around that he is out of the race for county clerk, but many are in doubt as to whether or not he is a candidate for treasurer. The Journal hears that Mr. Stauffer's near est friends are anxious that he should not accept nomination for any office, while some others interested in putting up a ticket are urging him to accept the nomination for treasurer. A strong re publican friend of Mr. Stauffer's remark ed to the writer Monday while speaking of Mr. Stauffer's probably running for treasurer against Becher, that it seemed to him there was no sort of justification I for it; that Becher had made a most ex cellent county treasurer, that nobody could justly make a single complaint against him, and yet why should Mr. Stauffer (if it is a fact that he wishes to run for treasurer) want to work for the defeat of Mr. Becher for another term a customary thing in this county for a worthy official? It certainly could not be in the public interest, and, remarked our friend, "Mr. Stauffer, who has al ways received hundreds of republican votes, would find that, in this case, it would be different." Another remarked that Mr. Stauffer was a little too shrewd to be caught in any such trap as the nomination for treasurer would put him into, and that John would excuse him self to his political friends and go into business; that the fact is he is tired of official life and will take a rest and then probably engage in business. The Journal is well aware that very much of the nature of the coming campaign depends upon whether Mr. Stauffer is nominated for treasurer we mean the issues upon which the campaign will be fought, and hence there is more than usual interest in this matter which seems to be merely personal but it not taui km iub tntue. AKMOUK 0ClXVt Of course the telegram was directed to Armour's agent, but it compelled Schwab to quit killing cattle. Leavenworth, Eaa, has almost a par allel of the Wichita Brown mystery, so far as a sudden dusappearance and con tinued and inexplicable absence are con cerned. Last Sunday one week ago Mr. E. O. Webster, who resided in a suburb an addition to the city, left his home to go to the Baptist church, located in the central part of the city. Since that time nothing has been seen or heard of the missing man. The most careful search has utterly failed to lead to the slightest clue -to his whereabouts, or explanation of bis continued absence. The case is assuming an alarming phase, there being no possible reason suggesting itself which will clear up the case. A Pennsylvania editor answers a cor respondent who propounded the query, "Did you ever see a bald-headed wo man?" in the following strain: "No; we never did. Nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town ia her shirt sleeves, with a cigar between her teeth. We never saw a woman go fishing with a bottle in her hip pocket, sit around on the damp ground all day and go home 'boozed' in the evening. Neither have we seen a woman yank off her coat, spit on her hands, and swear she could whip any man in town. All the foregoing 'privileges' are reserved for men." In the habeas corpus case of deputy marshal Nagle on the 4th, marshal Franks said when justice Field left for Los Angeles, about August 7, he in structed Nagle to accompany him to watch the Terrys and prevent them from doing Field any violence. He called Nagle's attention to the fact that Terry was not an ordinary man, and warned the deputy to take no chances, but to protect Field at all hazards. Mayor Broatch of Omaha did not give his consent to license the sale of liquor at the fair grounds; he has not satisfied the wishes of the proprietors and friends of the bawdy houses in Omaha, and so the roughs are against him. The good peonle of Nebraska are thankful for as much as he does to con serve the morals of the metropolis of the state. is Thomas Vincent Murray, 18 years old, son of Superintendent of Police Murray, of New York, met with a sudden death last Tuesday. He was playing ball and ran to catch a fly. As he threw up his hand he was seized with a sharp pain near the heart and fell He was taken home and it was found that the young man had ruptured a blood vessel near the heart by over-exertion. He died two hours later. After President Harrison and Mrs. Harrison, Rev. J. W. Scott and private secretary Halford and other persons spent the night in Jenkintown, the coun try home of postmaster general Wana maker, the party on the morning of Sept 4th started out for the farm near Harte ville, Bucks county, Pa, where the cele bration of the Old Log College was to take place, where it was established and where the people intended to celebrate the day in commemoration of the found ing of the Presbyterian church in the United States. -Log College was estab lished in 1726 by William Tennenant, and flourished until 1742, when Prince ton college was founded. A number of speeches and addresses were made by eloquent ministers, but when President Harrison arose to speak he was greeted for quite a space of time by that stand ing audience of 25,000 people with cheer after cheer and waving of handkerchiefs. He made a very neat and appropriate address, in which he particularly com mended the persistent and steadfast labors of Presbyterians from the Log College days until now; to these two qualities he attributed much of the pro gress of this time.

Denver Journal. September 3d George A. Williams and James H. Clark were arrested at Alexander Station, Ky., for dealing in and manufacturing counterfeit silver dollars. A large quantity of counterfeit money was found. Clark is a trackman on the Kentucky Central railroad, and Williams and Clark made counterfeits at the lattor's house. Williams is an old timer. Knowing citizens across the great waters guess and predict that the hor rors of a great .European war are not very far away, and it is said the powers are quietly getting ready for it. It is a horrible thing to pass through, and we are really surprised that, in this age of intelligence, men who have the control of such things do not find a bettor way of settling their disagreements. A bottle story originated at Racine, Wi&, last week, The bottle, closely sealed, was picked up in the lake. Wheat opened it was found to contain the fol lowing note: "L Patrick Cooney, to clear all others of the Cronin murder, say I killed him for a personal grudge. My body you will find in the lake." A bio fire is reported from New York Saturday at Williamsburg, which burn ed Diok Meyers k Ca's sugar refinery. The fire started with an explosion, the cause of which is not known. A number of persons were seriously injured. The losses from building, material and sugar will reach at least $2,000,000. Washington Letter. From our resular correspondent. Postmaster general Wanamaker has had several consultations with president Green of the Western Union Telegraph company, and rumor says that a com promise between the government and the telegraph .company is on the eve of being effected. Mr. Wanamaker refuses to confirm or deny the rumor. In reply to a direct question he said: "I have nothing to say about the conversation with Mr. Green. There is nothing to be said publicly about a matter which is under private discussion." The president on Friday settled one of the hardest fought contests for an office that has yet been fought before him, by the appointment of Frank P. Clark to be collector of customs at El Paso, Texas. There were thirty-seven candidates in the field for this office and each of them has been, since the' fourth of March "hustling" as only a Texan knows how to "hustle" to "get there." The man ap pointed has from the first been the choice of secretary Windom for the place and four times his commission has been sent to the president for his signature, but the other candidates by combining each time in preventing the attachment of the president's autograph thereto. This case gives a good ideaof the trouble there is in filling the offices. Secretary Tracy has several intricate problems to solve, and is compelled to deny himself to official callers for several days to como. He will first give hear ings to both sides in the controversy over the battle ship "Texas" now on the stocks at the Norfolk navy yard. One side contends that if built on the present plans she will not float, and the other that the plans are all right. Both can not be right, and the amount of money involved more than $2,000,000 makes the question a very important one. In addition to this the secretary will try to arrive at some conclusion regarding the completed, but -unaccepted, vessels Ve suvius, Petrel and Charleston. The National museum here has just been presented with two interesting war relics. One is the gun a light double barreled fowling-piece with which CoL Ellsworth of the New York Zouaves was killed on the steps of the "Marshall House" in Alexandria, Virginia, as he was returning from the roof whither he had gone to remove a Confederate flag; and the other is the old fashioned army musket, with sword bayonet, with which the slayer of Ellsworth was shot and afterwards pinned to the floor by private Brownell. The weapons were presented to the museum by Mr. Brownell in whose possession they have been since the unfortunate tragedy, which at the time of its occurrence May 24, 1861 created a profound sensation throughout the United States. The navy department has been noti fied by the Camp Brothers of Philadel phia, the contractors, that the new cruiser "Philadelphia" will be launched on the 7th inst. Representative Caldwell, of Ohio, who succeeds General Brown, is in town. He says the Ohio delegation will vote as a unit for McKinley for speaker, and that all the talk by friends of the other can didates of support from Ohio is without the slightest foundation. Hon. Edward Wolcott, the new sena tor from Colorado, is in Washington to secure a house. He refuses to discuss politics saying that he wants to famil iarize himself with things before, as they say in the mines, "shooting hiB mouth off." Sixth auditor Coulter is one of the new officials courageous enough to say that he believes the offices should be given to the men who helped elect the president. He also believes in keeping up the work of his office, and he has just given a practical illustration of how to do it, by putting his whole force to working until 9 o'clock at night in order to catch up on the examination of the money order accounts from 9,500 postoffices, which he found much behind. Mr. Coulter is what the mugwumps call a "spoilsman," but to "a man up a tree" it looks as if it would be a good thing to have more like him in office.

Dr. Habenicht, who has recently been in Kansas, says the drug stores down there do a thrivug.business.

A fire broke out in a barn belonging to Rev. Andrews at Blue Springs, a sub urb of Wymore last Tuesday afternoon.

Mr. Gay is a traveling salesman. The loss on the barn is about $200. T New Yerk via Metaiis B. A O.

What a pity it is that Schnyler does not take pattern from such cities as Kearney and Fremont and do something in the way of establishing industries. Fremont can point with pride to a mam moth creamery, a large foundry, a twine factory, a canning establishment, a car riage factory in process of construction, a packing house doing a good business and several minor industries. Kearney has a paper mill, one or two other fac tories the names of which have escaped our memory, and now a contract has been let and signed for the erection of a cotton mill which will be one of the largest factories of any description this side of Chicago. Thia mill will require upwards of 800 hands and will have a pay roll running up into the thousands. Such enterprises as this mesas the ad dition of two or three thousand to Kear ney's population during the next year and several millions ia wealth.
