Kepiibliran Platform.
Tlie republicans or Xebrasl;a reiterate
and cordially indorse the fundamental
principles of the republican party as
vtinciitted by successive national repub
lican conventions from 18."( to 1SSS and
lelievo the republican party capable of
dealing with every vital issue that con
cerns the American people, wherever tlie
rank and file of the republican party are
unlrainmelcd in the exercise of their po
litical rights.
Wo heartily indorse the wise and con
servative administration of President
Harrison. Wo also fully approve the
wise action of the republican members
of ljoth houses of congress in fulfilling
the pledges of the party in legislation
upon the coinage of silver and other
mesisures of national importance and
congratulate the country upon the con
tinued reduction of the national debt.
We most heartily indorse the action of
the republican congress in passing the
disability jH'ii.sion bill and a republican
president who approved the same and
regard it as an act of justice too long
delayed because of the opposition to all
just pension legislation by a democratic
congress; yet wo do not regard it as the
full recognition of the great debt of ob
ligation which the government and the
people owe to those heroic men by rea
son of whoso sacrifice and devotion the
union was saved and the government
restored. Wo do further repeat our
declaration in favor of just and fair serv
ice pensions graded according to length
of service for every soldier and sailor
who fought in behalf of the union, and
by reason of whose services and devotion
the government now exists.
We hold an honest, popular ballot
and equal representation of all the peo
ple to bo the foundation of our republi
can government and demand effective
legislation to secure the integrity and
purity of elections, which are the foun
dation of all public authority.
Wo favor such revision of the election
laws of the state as will guarantee to
every voter the greatest possible secrecy
in the casting of his ballot ami secure
the punishment of any who attempt tlie
corruption or intimidation of voters, and
we favor tho Australian ballot system
for incorporated towns and cities, appli
cable both to primary -and regular elec
tions so far as it can conform to our
organic law.
We oppose land monopoly in every
form, demand the forfeiture of unearned
land grants and the reservation of the
public domain for homesteaders only.
We recognize tho right of ltibor to or
ganize for its protection and by all law
ful and peaceful means to secure to
itself the greatest reward for thrift and
industry. Wo are in favor of laws com
piling railroads and manufacturers to
use all appliances which science supplies
for the protection of laborers against
accident. We demand the enactment of
a law defining the liability of employers
for injuries sustained by employes m
cases where proper safeguards have not
been used m occupations dangerous to
life, limb or health; railway ami other
public corporations should lo subject
to control through the legislature power
that created them. Their undue inllu
ence in legislation and imposition of
unnecessary burdens upon the people
and illegitimate increase of stock or
capital should )e prohibited by strin
gent laws.
We demand of the state that the
property of corporations shall be taxed
the same as that of individuals: that the
provisions of our constitution, requiring
the assessment of franchises shall be en
forced by suitable legislation.
We demand the reduction of freight
and passenger rates on railroads to cor
respond with rates now prevailing in
adjacent states in the Mississippi valley,
and we further demand that the next
legislature shall abolish all passes or
free transportation on railroads, except
ing for employes of the railroad com
panies. We demand the establishment of the
system of postal telegraphy, and request
our members in congress to vote and
work for government ownership or con
trol of the telegraph.
We indorse the action of the inter
state commission in ordering a reduction
of the grain rates between the Missouri
river and lake ports.
We favor the modification of the stat
utes of our state in such manner as shall
prevent the staying of judgments se
cured for work and labor, and the enact
ment of such laws as shall provide for
the speedy collection of the wages of our
laborers.
We favor a revision of the tariff in the
interest of the producer llnd laborer.
The import duties on articles of common
use should be placed as low as is con
sistent with the protection of American
industries.
We denounce all organizations of cap
italists to limit productions, control
supplies of the necessities of life and
advance prices as detrimental to the
best interests of society and as unjusti
fiable interference with the natural laws
of competition and trade and ask their
prompt suppression.
The republican party has given the
people an elastic currency of gold, silver
and paper, and has raised tho credit of
the nation to one of the highest of any
country in the world, and its efforts to
fully remonetize silver should be contin
ued until it is on a perfect equality as a
money metal with gold.
Owners of public elevators that receive
and handle grain for storage should be
declared public warehousemen and com
pelled under penalty to receive, store,
ship and handle the grain of all persons
alike, without discrimination. The 6tate
regulating charge for storage and in
spection. All railroad companies should
be required to switch, haul, receive and
ship the grain of all persons alike, with
out discrimination.
We favor tho enactment of more strin
gent usury laws and their rigid enforce
ment under severe penalties.

I. I.. Albert.
The republican and people's independ
ent candidate for county attorney was
Inirn in Clearfield county, Pennsylvania,
DeciiS. 1ST.G.
His father being engaged in the lum
ber business, this was also the occupa
tion of young Albert until ho was nine
teen years old, sit which time he came
west, attending tho Western college at
Toledo, la., of which his uncle, E. B.
Kephart, was president, and of which he
is a graduate.
Under tho direction of Hon. F. C.
Hormel, a prominent attorney of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, he studied law, and was
admit texl to practice in Plymouth coun
ty. He practiced in Iowa courts till
18S0, when he came to Albion, Neb.,
where he had an extensive practice until
last fall, when health failed him, and he
spent the winter months on tho Pacific
coast. Early last spring he returned to
Nebraska, and with J. D. Stires, esq.,
opened a law office in this city.
By his acquaintances here Mr. Albert
is regarded as a young man of excep
tionally good ability, a bright lawyer,
and one who will bo a credit to himself
and an honor to tho jiolitieal parties
which have selected him as their candi
date for tho important office of county
attornev.
ACTINOMYCOSIS.
Lumpy .law Proven to be a Cont.iirjous
Dieae.
There are people who think it profit
able to keep, to kill and to eat tho flesh
of lumpy jawed cattle. Tho following
paragraph clipped from a Chicago tele
gram of August 15) may bo of some in
terest to those who would thus take
chances on their lives:
"Experiments have just been conclud
ed in this city that will bo of tho great
est importance to tho packing industry
and to veterinarians, many of whom
have hitherto thought that actinomyco
sis, or lumpy jaw, was not a contagious
disease and that the meat of cattle
afliietod by it was not injurious. Mem
bers of tho live stock boards of several
states have superintended tho killing of
a number of cattle ufliicted with lumpy
jaw and eximined the bodies.
A week ago fifty-five were killed and
esterdav thirtv-four more. Tho object
was to ascertain to what extent the dis
easo affected the entire system so as to
make tho meat of such cattle unfit for
food. The result of the examination was
that in alout IK) per cent of tho cases in
vestigated the disease was observed to
have affected the internal organs and
the flesh.
Mr. Armstrong of the United States
bureau of animal industry was
among the distinguished experts
present, Drs. Paquin and Grange, ex
pert microscopists, took a number of
specimens for examination and for ex
periments in inoculation. They expect
to corrolorato what has been said by
German and French scientists -that
lumpy jaw is a contagious disejise."
Once in a while tho opposition do get
up something worthy of a passing
thought, as for instance. The republi
can convention of Douglas county con
cluded to let Mr. Council name the con
gressional delegation, and he left the
matter to John B. Furay, who gathered
his number from all the factions, so that
there might le harmony. Tho Omaha
World-Herald represents Furay, under
the figure of a Dr. and gets up a card
for him as follows -the inter-commingling
of the names E. Rosewater and Paul
Vandevoort (mortal enemies), is a "cau
tion to snakes," and a fine piece of art:

The Fremont Tribune epitomizes as
follows the successful career of Hon. L.
D. Richards, republican candidate for
governor of Nebraska:
A success as a boy soldier.
A success as a farm hand.
A success as a helper on a pile driver.
A success as a homesteader.
A success as a civil engineer.
A success as mayor of Fremont.
A success as chairman of the republi
can state central committee.
Asuccess as an upright, enterprising
business man.
And now he will be
A success as governor of Nebraska.
He is made of the heroic clay which
guarantees success in everything he
takes hold of.
The Farmer and the Laborer.
The farmers' alliance of Nebraska has
resolved that ''eight hours make a long
enough day's labor for any class of
workingmen except farm hands." Why
was the discrimination made against
farm hands? Do they not work as hard
as any other class of laborers? Are they
not entitled to the same privileges as
others? Do they not deserve and need
the same opportunities for recreation,
reading and self-improvement? It may
indeed be urged that the exception was
made on the ground of necessity. When
grain is ripe it must be harvested.
When it is in good condition it mu6t be
housed or stacked or it will be ruined by
rain. These works cannot always be
done in time, working eight hours a day.
But similar exigencies arise with man
ufacturers and contractors. It often
becomes impossible for them to keep
their engagements unless their employes
will work more than eight hours a day.
Their threatened losses are as great as
those that would be caused to the farm
er by the destruction of his crops. If
they should pay extra wages for extra
hours beyond eight, why should not the
farmer?
In tho pleas for shorter hours for labor
nothing has ever been said for the farm
hand. Yet ho is the greatest sufferer of
till. Ho seldom knows intermission of
toil from sunrise till dark. A twelve
hours' working day would be a reliof to
him. and a ten hours' working day a
boon and a joy. Yet nothing is ever
said iu his behalf. Is it because tho
farm hands are not organized, and thus
cannot compel attention and considera
tion by the p6wer of a solid vote?
In tho Nebraska case was the farm
hand discriminated against because the
memlers of the alliance are the ones
that employ him? Can wo believe that
self interest is exerting its baleful influ
ence to so great an extent over the phi
lanthropic and reforming alliance? It
is certainly time that the farm hand
made himself heard in assertion of his
equal rights with other workmen. Den

Probably Fatally Injured.
While a lot of men were selling up a
hay stacker this morning on the Gibson
farm near tho bluffs on the Broad street
road a severe accident befell Castier
Gralier, of this city. When tho stacker
was nearly up it commenced to fall over
and Mr. Graber tried his lest to prevent
it, and did not give up tho task until it
was too late for him to get out of the
way of the falling stacker. The beam
timbers fell upon his shoulders and
crushed him to the ground, striking him
across the shoulders and small of the
neck, where he sustained most of his
injuries. His hands are rendered power
less by the severe crushing of his
muscles. The accident will prove ser
ious if not fatal. Dr. Smith has great
hopes of his recovery, as the man is ro
bust and liable to pull through. The
other men in the field came to the aid
of the injured man as soon as possible
and removed him to his home. Fre
mont Flail.
IhirseyVi letter.
About five hundred of Dodge county's
most prominent republicans (so says the
Flail) forwarded a petition to Mr. Dor
sey, asking him to stand as a candidate
for re-election. His reply is as follows:
Washington, D. C, Aug. 11), 1890.
Arthur Truesdell, E. Shurman and
G. W. Hyatt, committee.
Petitions from so large a number of
influential republicans in Dodge county,
asking me to announce myself a candi
date for re-election affects me most
sensibly. If it is the desire of tho re
publicans of the Third drstrict, assem
bled in convention, that I should con
tinuo my work here, I would accept the
nomination. However, if the party
would bo strengthened by the nomina
tion of somo other man, I will most
williugly and gladly labor for his elec
tion with that of the entire state ticket
Harmony in our ranks is essential, and
no man's ambition or prejudice must be
allowed to stand in the way of success
in November.
G. W. E. Dorsey.
Nebraska Out of Debt.
Washington special: The showing
made by tho census rejiort issued by
Superintendent Porter is tho subject of
congratulation on the part of every Ne
braskan who litis seen it. It shows that
Nebraska is absolutely without a debt.
Ten years ago Nebraska had a bonded
debt of STiOO.OOO. Today her Ixinded
debt and floating debt are represented
by blank spaces in the table of indebt
edness with a letter "A," which refers to
a foot note indicating "No debt." Only
one other state in the entire list is in
this happy condition; that one state is
West Virginia. There aro half a dozen
with no bonded debt, but they have
floating bills, and there are several with
no floating debt but with a bonded debt.
But when you combine both these happy
conditions Nebraska and West Virginia
stand alone. Iowa has no lxmded debt,
but her floating debt is 284,823.
Tin: meeting called on Saturday night
by Mr. Richards was to get an expres
sion of the county delegates from this
city as to their position on the contro
versy between himself and Mr. Dorsey.
The delegates were mostly present and
a few who wero not delegates were pres
ent on invitation. It is understood that
under the influence of their chosen lead
er, all expressed themselves as ready for
a fight to prevent Mr. Dorsey from tak
ing the delegation from this county
with three exceptions. It wtis decided,
however, to await the public announce
ment by Mr. Dorsey that he is a candi
date. Then the battle will open all
along the line. Fremont Flail.
Yes, he was Railroad Richards. He
worked on a pile driver in building rail
road bridges and rapidly rose to the po
sition of superintendent of construction
and roadmaster. He was a hard work
ing, reliable and conscientious employe
and his employers were not slow to rec
ognize it But that was twenty years
ago. He is now simply L. D. Richards,
owned and controlled by no influence or
power save a desire on his part to see
that equality and justice are promoted
among all interests and that the greatest
good is done to the largest number. He
will do right as God gives him to see the
right. Fremont Tribune.
Ox last Saturday evening an elderly
Hooper man boarded an Elkhorn train
at Fremont, and look a seat in a rear
car. Just before the train started a
young man accosted the Hooper man
and advided him to take the next coach
as the one they were in was to be drop
ped. Accordingly the unsuspecting
old gentleman started for the next car,
the young man following him. When
the platform was reached tho gentleman
from Hooper was seized and jostled by
three men, and in less than half a min
ute his pocket book was gone and eo were
the men. The pocketbook contained
S38. West Point Republican.
The Knox County Democrat says:
"Just as we were going to press we re
ceived the following special: Democrat
ic state convention nominated J. E.
Boyd for governor and Dr. Bear of Nor
folk, for lieutenant governor. Wo de
sire to say as an old soldier and G. A. R
man, that as between Boyd and Richards
tho Democrat's gentle voice will be
heard for L. D. Richards. As between
Bear, the ex-confederate surgeon,
and gallant old Tom Majors, the bravo
union soldier, the Democrat will sup
port Majors."
Senator Van- Wyck, nominated by
the alliance in this district, was not a
democrat, neither was O. M. Kem, nom
inated in the Third district, a democrat,
so in both these districts tho democrats
had no uso for them. In tho Second
district, however, McKeighan, the alli
ance nominee, is a democrat and that
party proposes to endorse him with a
whoop and a hurrah. This is the ex
tent of tho use tho democratic party has
for the alliance sind republican alliance
men should think of it several times be
fore election. Lincoln Call.
This is the way another democrat
looks at it: "The Dorsey democrats
along tho U. P. railroad went into the
congressional convention at Columbus
organized to defeat any indorsement of
O. M. Kem, thus, as they thought, to
make machino politics defeat tho people.
But it will result in the reverse. Tho
democrats who were in favor of indorse
ment will vote for Kem just tho same.
We have interviewed a numlier of demo
crats and find they do not propose to be
captured by a corrupt machine to work
their ruin in the end." Madison Re
porter. Tun Fremont Tribune expresses the
opinion that "it was a mistake of the re
publican congressional central commit
tee to vote down a recommendation
against proxies," and the Tribune is
eminently correct. The provy system
litis been misused so much that it savors
more of bargain and sale than of fair
representation of political sentiment,
and therefore is recognized by the peo
plo generally as tho special feature of
machine politics that needs to lo wiped
out.
John Ckaiu suggests a good idea
which we hope will be followed out by
our farmers. It is this: So many of the
farriers in the western part of the state
have lost their corn crops by reason of
the drouth. This is also true of farmers
in other states. Next year seed corn
will bo scarce. Now let our farmers
save all the seed corn they can and le
ready to help their needy brethren out
next spring. Wo urge our farmer read
ers to act upon this advice ami save
plenty. Schuyler Quill.
There is plenty of chivalry still exist
ing in tho hearts of men and it is not
associated with good clothes and big
bank accounts. W. II. Miller, who was
recently elected janitor of the Fort
Omaha school, last night resigned in
favor of tho widow who now holds tho
position and who supports a family with
tho salary derived from it. Such an act
of generosity is rare and the man who is
capable of such usefulness ought not bo
long without a remunerative position.

Pearl, the seven-years-old daughter
of M. Solomon of Omaha, was so badly

ing, which brought some neighbor wo
men. They wero dolayed getting to the

The Sioux City Journal suggests for
that city the telephone charges aro ex
ceptionally exorbitant and ought to be
scaled down, and that when any tele
phone or similar company is given a
right to do business in Sioux City, or
whenever its franchiso is extended, it
should bo on tho oxplicit condition that
the city may regulate all charges that
may 1 mado on the public.
The amazing cheek which enables
Editor Hammond to assert incessantly
that it is Mr. Dorsey who is making tho
fight reminds one of the old Quaker
whose wife caught him kissing the hired
girl, whereuKn he said with dignified
severity, "Hannah, if thee does not quit
peepin', thee will cause a fuss in tho
family." - Fremont Flail.
The alliance picked up a democrat for
congress in the Second district. With
characteristic gratitude the democrats
spurned tho alliance man in the Third
district. All of which goes to show that
the democrats are enthusiastically in
favor of the farmers when the farmers
will consent to boost democrats into
office. Omaha Bee.

Washington Letter.
From our regular corresimndent.l
Tho president just now occupies a po
sition that cannot fail to tax the good
sense which he has time after time
shown himself to bo largely endowed
with. It is to him that the rank and
file of tho republican party look for a
settlement of the unfortunate differ
ences of opinion that has arisen among
tho republican senators. Senator Quay
seems determined to get his resolution
confining the legislation of the present
session to the tariff bill; tho appropria
tion bills and bills affecting public
buildings and grounds before the senate.
His resolution when first offered last
week wsis referred to the committee on
rules, as well as an amendment offered
by Senator Hoare to include the federal
election bill in the legislation of the
session. A caucus has since been held;
but nothing was done except to discuss
the situation and by a vote of 18 to 17
refused to endorse Senator Hoar's
amendment.
Saturday afternoon Senator Quay,
without waiting on the committee on
rules to report, asked unanimous con
sent to offer the same resolution, which
also provides for taking a final vote on
tho tariff bill on August 30, but Senator
Edmunds objected, the matter went
over and Mr. Quay gave notico that he
would this week offer tho same resolu
tion and insist on its consideration. It is
expected that the southern senators will
support Mr. Quay's resolution, in fact it
is charged that it is the result of a bar
gain with them this I do not believe
becauso it will prevent action upon the
federal election bill.
Meanwhile Senator Hoar, who is lead
ing those who favor the passing of both
tariff and federal election bills, is by no
means idle. Telegrams to absent re
publican senators havo been sent urging
them to return at once, and it is not
possible that another caucus will be
held before tho matter is finally settled
and if a full attendance can be secured
it is probablo that Mr. Quay's resolution
may bo defeated, but if he can get it

caucus meets, and the democrats sup
port him, it will be adopted.
Tho Louisiana lottery lobby is solidly
in favor of tho Quay resolution because
it will prevent the passago by the sen
ate of the rigorous anti-lottery bill,
which the house on Saturday took up
and passed; numerous other lobbyists
representing interests that will lie more
or less damaged by legislation, which
was already passed the house, aro add
ing their influence toward getting
the Quay resolution adopted by the
senate.
Speaker Reed, while deeply regretting
the turn things have taken in the sen
ate, will do nothing to prolong the ses
sion in order to force the senate to act
on the federal election bill. Ue says
the house has done its duty and if the
senate refuses to do likewise let its
members answer for it to their constitu
ents. The president has so far taken no side
in the dispute though it is pretty well
known thai he favors the federal elec
tion bill, and its friends are trying to get
him to do something to help them,
while its opponents are equally as per
sistent in asking him to keep his hands
off. Mr. Quay and nearly every republi
can who is expected to vote for his reso
lution, say that they favor the election
bill, but believe it to be impossible to
pass both it and the tariff bill at this
session, and they regard the tariff bill as
the most important.
The senate devoted Friday and Satur
day to a discussion of the river and har
bor bill which was passed. It contain
ed many important amendments.
The house had a time last week on ac
count of the absence of a quorum about
half the time. The prospect now is that
the attendance this week will be larger
and the delays fewer.
It is good news to active republicans
to know that Assistant Postmaster Gen-1
eral Clarkson, whose right to be called J
a political hustler has been folly proven.
is, after September 1, when he resigns
his present office, to take an active part
in the management of the republican
congressional campaign committee.
That committee has elected represent
ative Carter of Montaaa, secretary, and
Edward C. O'Brien of New York, at
present disbursing clerk of the house,
treasurer. The committee proposes to
make a winning fight.
Secretary Windom has issued orders
that the prices paid for silver, under the
new law, shall be made public on the
days of purchase. This spoiled a lot of
democratic thunder.
Senator Plumb has offered an amend
ment to the tin plate schedule of the
tariff bill, which is now being debated,
to allow the duty on tin plate to remain
as at present and to give a bounty of 1
cent a pound on tin plate manufactured
in the United States.

In a recent article in the Youth's Com

writer advises a hot lemonade to be tak

ment, especially during the severe cold
weather of the winter months, as it opens
the pores of the skin and leaves the sys
tem in such a condition that another and
much more severe cold is almost certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons of all ages, has fully demonstrat
ed that there is nothing better for a
severe cold than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It acts in perfect harmony
with nature, relieves the lungs, liquefies
the tough tenacious mucous, making it
