heretofore, and the Telegram may not

What in the world is the meaning of
this paragraph? Does The Journal
wish to convey the idea that negotiations
are going on between Colonel Newman
and the republican bosses? It seems to
us that Moses is unwisely showing hw
hand saost too early in the campaign.
The democrats are looking out for jast
such "pointers'' as the above and will
treasure them? for future reference.
(Telegram.
It means that there are two different
kinds of democracy, two different ways
of looking at things, two motives'of con
duct entirely dissimilar, and that for the
purposes of the present allusion, New-
represents one kind and the Tele
gram the other, lent it a little strange
that the Telegram cannot speak of those
who oppose its opinions of democratic
policy without the suggestion of "nego
tiations,'' bargains, sales, etc There are
democrats whose opinions are not for
sale, and there are a goodly number of
democratic voters in Platte county who,
while acknowledging no special dictator
of opinion, happen to have the indepen
dence to think a good deal like Newman
dees just now, rather than like the Tele
gram does. It takes no political Moses
to see these things, and while The
Journal is holding no concealed cards
in its sleeve, the Telegram is welcome' to
see all it can of our "hand." Having

The Telegram is informed that The
Journal does not have any insight into
the affairs of the democratic party of
Platte county further than the public
generally may have on a somewhat close
inspection of the same, at a safe distance
from the line fence. There isn't a polit
ical organization on earth that is entire
ly harmonious any very great length of
time, but there seem just now to be sev
eral elements among our friends, the
enemy, that are altogether devoid of
even a latent desire to get together. In
truth, the further apart they can get,
the bettor they like it, and probably if
they had the diameter of the earth be
tween them, they would really love each
other tenderly and kindly. Now, neither
our friend, the editor of the Telegram
nor our other, friend, Clarence Newman,
are responsible for this state of affairs
neither of them, nor both of them; they
happen to be different kinds of demo
crats and one owns and edits a paper,
while the other dont We might make a
suggestion to Newman, in the interest of
fair play, so that this prize-fight might
go forward fairly, so to speak, to all
combatants, but we will even do better
than that, and in the interest of peace

The corn belt in America, that is, that
portion where corn thrives and the big
gest crops are raised, is a country that
cannot be excelled on earth, for general
purposes.
The reasons for this are not far to seek.
The cities and towns, with all their mul
tifarious industries and enterprises rest
upon agriculture as upon a foundation;
they are nearer still, as trees which take
root grow, flourish, and are maintained
because they draw from the soil. In the
corn belt crops of all kinds average well
with the years, but corn, the king of all,
is pretty sure to do well; the great cer
tainty of having plenty of corn makes
the raising of cattle, hogs, sheep and
poultry profitable, when anything is so.
hit all other crops should, for any reason,
fail, (and they seem to have more
enemies than corn has), with plenty of
corn, the farmer can subsist his family
and all his live stock, so that the "funny
man" who wrote the following might
have extended his remarks without do
ing violence to the situation in any of
the states in the corn belt, and notably
in Iowa and Nebraska:
"a seems inai one aay last rail a gen
tleman had occasion to. make a trio

belated and a rain coming on, he stopped

applied for lodging for himself and
horse, which was readily granted. He
states that the place was surrounded by
fields of ripened com, and his horse was
stabled in a shed thatched with corn
stalks, and that the animal was supplied
with cornfodder in lieu of hay, given a
dozen large ears of corn, and bedded
with cornblades, after which the farmer
led the way to the house, which, though
a large and even elegant building, was
decorated on the south side from corner
stone to cornice with ears of corn de
signed for seed. He wiped his feet at
the door on a mat skillfully woven of
corn husks. Supper, he says, consisted
of milk and corn meal mush, which last
article was prepared over a fire of corn
cobs. After supper the host sat in a
corner and smoked a corn cob pipe and
discussed the possibilities of a corner on
corn, in a very Cornish accent, whilst
the children regaled them with music
from a cornstalk fiddle and tdaved fox
land geese with red and white corn. He
runner alleges tnat tne fox was inevita
bly "cornered." That night he slept on
a corn husk mattress in a room decorat
ed with a variety of corn and at breakfast
he ate, among other delicacies, corn
bread and glucose (manufactured from
coroX and drank coffee which he could
swear had been adulterated with scorch
ed corn. It developed that his host was
a native of Cornwall and that his name
was Cornwall, that of his wife Cornells,
whilst his two little boys were appropri
ately named Cornelius and CornwaUia.
As a sequel to the story he relates that
the farmer took him to the barn, and
drawing a corn cob from the little brown
jug, gave him a drink of a very superior
article made of 'corn juice.' TJuon in
quiring his way when he left the premis
is the gentleman says he was .not at all
surprised when the farmer pointed out
the road with a cornstalk walking stick,
removed the aforesaid corn cob pipe from
his mouth and informed him that the
nearest village was Corning. He con
clueds by saying that he felt that he had
been effectually 'corned. "
Why are Cattle sa Che ?
Ex-congressman B. W. AUerton steps
to the front and lays down a few facts
for the consideration of his fellow-countrymen
that it may be well for them to
consider. He suggests that the senate
of the United States have taken the
course they have, in appointing a cojn
Kdtteetolook into the private basiaess
of the packers, in order to call attention
away from what congress ass done to de
crease the price of cattle in this country.
He claims that congress has beam stupid
laws that have robbed the
farmers, and proceeds tosseoify.
as follows:
"Now, the real question is. Way are
cattle so km? That is what thefanacr
ts to know. With the bast fiaraam
had
the history of
mast be soi
present great
sasse the animal bureau bin,
the eow-dooaor soars, of
to enact a law obaarine: as to kill
our cattle at the port of laadiac. T
created an eaibargo tax of 96 par head,
while France and other countries en
tirely prohibited the sale of our cattle in
those countries, and for a time the con
sumption of beef was stopped at home.
Every sommission man in the Stock
Yards knows that the last convention
held in Chicago on contagious pleuro
pneumonia broke the value of cattle 91
per hundred; and, as we all well know,
there never was a case of contagious
pleuro-pneumooia in this country. Some
old still-fed cows that bad been fed two
or three years had the lung spasm, caus
ed by eating food with all the sugar and
alcohol taken from it
"Some years ago I want to congress
with the Hon. Emery A. Stem to try to
have the government appoint inspectors,
so that when a shipper wished to ship
his products abroad he could have a
government inspector, and, when brand
ed by our government as healthy and
good food, then if France and Germany
would not take our products on account
of their not being healthy we could re
taliate and prohibit the importation into
this country of their adulterated wines,
which daily demoralize our people. But
this practical law found no friends in
congress.
"Next comes the oleomargarine bilL
Congress proved by its investigation that
oleomargarine is good and nutritious
food for the human family, and then
proceeded to put a tax of 92 per hun
dred on oleo, which amounted to a direct
tax of 80 cents per head on all the cattle
in this country. To further condemn
Lthe home industry it demanded a license
of 9480 from everyone wno sens oieo
margerine. This was done apparently
to drive all small dealers out of the mar
ket, and, if possible, to destroy the entire
industry, compelling us to ship the oil to
Holland and give her the control of the
market of the world. Before the passage
of this law, when we used a large amount
of the oil at home, Holland paid us 80
florins per 100 pounds. After its passage
Holland soon controlled the market and
reduced the price to 40 florins per 100
pounds. Thus, by the government tax,
together with the reduction in the price
of oil, the value of cattle has been re
duced 95 per bead.
"Thirdly, the duty was taken off of
green hides, which allowed France, Ger
many, and all other foreign nations to
flood this country with green hides.
This has reduced the value of a steer 93.
There are about 100,000 head of cattle
handled each week in the general markets
of this country. The loss on these by
the enactments of congress amounts
each week to 9800,000, making an annual
loss of 941,600,000. To protect them
selves France and Germany have put a
duty of 4 cents per pound on our manu
factured leather. Does not all this show
the stupidity of congress?
"Finally comes the great interstate
commerce law, which tends to build up
monopolies by stopping competition, for
now no small shipper with a limited cap
ital can do business. He must be an
owner of a large number of cars, so he
can get his 1 and 2 per cent mileage. It
is fast driving all business into great
trusts. There is no doubt that if it con
tinues in a few years it will either force
the large roads to own all the small ones
or drive them into a gigantic trust It
is an old adage that 'competition is the
life of trade.' Why should a law be
passed to stop competition among rail
roads? "Thus we see that the present low
Erice of cattle has been brought about
y the various enactments of congress,
and it will be impossible for them to fix
up their own blunders or to increase the
price of cattle by sending out investi
gating committees."
The Germans of Omaha are organiz
ing for political purposes. If they can
aid in giving us bettor local government
and putting a stop to boodling and ex
travagance well and good. Bee. It
looks as though the Germans had or
ganized in other counties than Douglas,
for similar purposes. No nationality
that we have are better calculated to
look closely after public affairs. There
is no necessity, however, for any separate
action to be taken by any nationality,
for just so sure as this is done, an un
just partiality is sure to be the result,
and the aggrandizement of a clique or
clan takes the place of a public spirit
that looks to the welfare of all the peo
ple. Let good men of all nationalities
work together as citizens of a common
country, interested in its welfare, anx
ious only that the public service shall be
the best possible.
Hell's half-acre on a Sunday is very
fitly described by the Omaha Dispatch:
"Bed not riot and blood held the boards
on Cut-off Island last night, and besides
a severe dog fight, a prize knock down,
six free-for-alls, Mike Roach walked
away frotnrthe scene with blood stream
ing to the ground with his throat cut
from ear to ear.'' This is a sort of model
mean place, and it would be the proper
thing for the peace authorities to go
systematically to work to clean up all
such sink-holes of iniquity and turn
them into fertile fields or rose gardens.
Wretched human beings! Unfaithful
conservators of the public peace, who
allow such places and such doings to con
tinue! Poor, lamb-like communities
that meekly look on and allow their
officials to connive with the worst ele
ments! The Omaha World-Herald seconds the
nomination of Mrs. John A. Logan for
pension commissioner, in these just and
gallant words:
"This appointment would suit every
member of the Grand Army of the Re
public, for they idolize her as they did
her husband. She is a type of the best
American womanhood. Sympathetic
without being sentimental, self-reliant
and progressive without losing a whit of
her womanlmess, she has the brain and
heart to administer the duties of the
office with strict impartiality and with
credit While bearing for tile old sol
diers all the love which Tanner did, she
would nevertheless manage the office, we
are sure, without extravagance or scan
dal. If President Harrison wishes to
appoint a person who has at once merit
and a 'pull, let him send in the name of
Mrs. John A. Logan."

already manufactured some of the hemp
of this year's crop into tow, which was
cut about the 15th of July, and the crop
will soon be ready for an all winter's
run. It is of good quality, and every
thing promises well for the output the
present year. Fremont Herald.
As A. J. Snowden. a prominent stock
dealer of Kearney, was passing through
Seward last Tuesday night on the B. k
M. railroad, he stopped off. to look after
some stock which he had in charge, and
while so engaged the train started. In
an effort to board the train he reached
for the rail on the outside of one of the
freight cars, to which he clung, but hav
ing a goad in that hand, by a sudden
jerk of the train, he lost his hold and
fell, with his left hand across the rail, the
last car passing over it He was brought
into town and his left hand was ampu
tated at the wrist
The Arnold case at Gering has ended
in conviction of murder in the second
degree. The case has been on trial for
four weeks and one day, the longest
murder trial ever held in Nebraska. The
defense was conducted by Hunt and
Rayner.of Sidney, and the state's case
was tried by Hon. F. L Foes, of Crete
and County Attorney Richardson. Both
sides fought hard. The argument last
ed two days and was closed by Foss for
the state. The jury went out at 5 p. dl,
and at 6 p. m. Thursday returned a ver
dict as above. As soon as the verdict
was in, Judge Church sentenced the
prisoner' to hard labor for forty-nine
years. It being a new 'county, the wit
nesses were greatly scattered, and it was
hard work to get a jury, and the defend
ant, taking advantage of every technical
ity, caused the long trial The defense
was insanity and self defense.
"The Mr. Squires, of Champaign, DL,
who has been in the city for the past few
days in the interest of the hemp crop
and tow manufacture, has made an offer
for the entire product of the Fremont
pauif, wnicn wiu pruuauiy w imvinu
ana wnicn win buoiu iair umuouu
upon the stock. He has also made other
proposals which if not accepted will
doubtless lead to the immediate addition
of twine manufacturing mschinery to
the present outfit Mr. Squires is per
fectly conversant with the growth and
manufacture of tow and twine, aad re
gards this locality in all respects the
best adapted to the business, to which
may be added a ready home market of
any he has yet visited. It is his opinion
that when Urn farmers of Dodge county
and vicinity become familiar with the
easily produced, and at the same time
profitable hemp crop, that Fremoat wfll
contain one of the -largest twine facto
ries in the west, and which wfll be one
of its best paying industries." So says
the Fremont Herald, and what is good
for that latitude is good here, too, the
nature of the soil being similar.
