It is very well understood that Mr.
Dorsey will be re-elected, and if this
city realizes its interests, it will give
him a good vote. Dodge county owes
to Mr. Dorsey more than to any other
man in the universe, and by its vote is
the only way it can repay him.
But as Dodge county owes him much,
so does tho Third district. That by his
indefatigable efforts he should be num
bered by politicians all over the nation
as one among the ablest men in con
gress, reflects credit alike on himself and
his county and district.
It is folly to say that it was by chance
that ho has taken his eminent position
in the house, for such honors do not
come by chance. His contestants for
the positions he achieved, numbered
men from among the ablest in congress,
and as Speaker Reed was, to a great
measure, responsible for his appoint
ments, he could not afford to make any
mistakes. And there is no member of
congress today who will assert that a
mistake was made.
And as the representative was honor
ed, so was the district honored, and it is
well enough for the district to realize it,
and not elect some inefficient to sink us
back into obscurity. Fremont Flail.
"Just what the republicans of this
Twelfth senatorial district will do is not
known. Platto and Colfax counties each
have nino delegates to the convention
which is not as yet called. The Platte
county delegation is virtually instructed
to end ise O. Nelson, the alliance candi
date, and eight of the nine are for him.
In the Colfax delegation the majority
aro opposed to it, although a few favor
him, enough to give him a majority in
the convention and secure his nomina
tion. In this county the convention was
really in favor of the endorsement but
the majority worked for the delegates
and secured them, hence the delegation
is opposed. The republicans cannot
hope to elect their man, and to put up a
separate candidate is to help the demo
crats. Tho best thing to do is to en
dorse Nelson and make his election pos
sible and probable. The rank and filo of
the republican party is in favor of this,
will the machinery opposer" The above
is from a recent number of tho Schuyler
Quill. We believe that Mr. Nelson will
receive the nomination from the republi
can convention, which (as we write this
paragraph) has not yet been called. This
would be in line with the policy already
mapped out by the republicans of Platte,
i. e., nominating the same men that the
alliance have, for county and legislative
ticket Mr. Nelson, wherever known,
is very favorably regarded as an intelli
gent man taking a lively interest in pub
lic matters, and having the ability to
think for himself and advocate his views
with much more than ordinary force.
Business could not be done iu these
times without the aid of the legitimate
bank with its facilities for accommoda
ting its customers, but the intelligent
men of tho country must find a just so
lution of the money problem which will
at least tend to lighten the heavy load
of the deserving poor, whose numbers
are increasing. We notice tho following
account of a suit brought at Lincoln
which gives a little insight into the
manner in which the fleece is sometimes
plucked:
"Judge Field and a jury were engaged
today in the hearing of the case of Al
bert Brown vs J. Robert Williams and
others. The cose has been on the docket
for over six years and has been tried
once. Brown is a capitalist of Vermont
and loaned money through the agency
of H. E. Lewis of this city, who em
ployed Williams A- Westover of David
City to place loans, they giving bonds to
Lewis iu the sum of $10,000. Brown
now brings the present snit to recover
$5,400 on notes discounted through the
agency of Williams & Westover, who de
faulted, and suit is brought ogainBt the
surety. The defense is that they entered
into an arrangement with the plaintiff
to loan money to farmers, 'the least rate
to be 3 per cent a month, the proceeds to
be equally divided between the plaintiff
and defendant' The case will occupy
two days.'
The Advance ia Price.
Those that are at all posted on the
McEinley bill who aro friendly to that
measure have been surprised and at
times annoyed over the constant howl
over the advance in certain lines of man
ufactured goods, for it was seen that
these .- ecial articles were not affected
b .he tariff in that direction a particle.
An incident is told by the New York
Press that indicates what mistakes may
be avoided by familiarity with the new
law. The Press says Colonel Thompson,
of Diamond Paper Mill, had occasion to
use some sheet lead, and sending out for
it found it had been marked up 2Jc per
pound. When he inquired the occasion
for the increase he was told that the
McKinley bill had put up the duty and
that the price had therefore been raised.
Col. Thompson being of an enquiring
mind, looked up the new law, and found
that instead of the duty on lead being
increased it had been lowered from 3c to
2Jc per pound.
And this is on a par with most of the
advance that the cheap "tariff reformers"
have been giving us. Plattsmouth Her
ald. m
The manufacture of steel rails has be
come an established American industry
through protection, and now competes 1
with all foreign competitors. The re
publican party proposes to reduce the
tariff on rails 50 per cent and raise the
tariff on beans from 10 per cent ad va
lorum to 40 cents a bushel: That Amer
ica did not supply its home consumption
of beans is a surprise to many but the
value of beans imported last year was
8759,80228 or 8100,000 larger than the
value of imported steel rails. America
can produce all the beans used by her
home consumers and more; the encour
agement to do so is what an advance
in the tariff contemplates. The tariff is
for the direct benefit of the American
farmer as against his foreign competit
or. But tonian.
Last Friday forenoon the residence
of Andrew Harvie, about eight miles
northwest of North Bend, was burned to
the ground. Mr. Harvey was fixing his
wagon wheels by rolling the felloes in
boiled linseed oil to keep the tires from
working loose. He had a kettle of boil
ing oil on the stove in the kitchen, and
while he was working with the wagon
wheels out of doors the oil exploded,
throwing the kettle into the middle of
the room and the house was ablaze in a
very few moments. Mr. Harvie was un
able to save anything in the house, not
even of their clothing. The house was
insured in the Farmers for $350. Mr.
Harvey is erecting a new house 20x28.
His brother James has given up build
ing his new barn this fall and will assist
Andrew in getting his new building
ready for occupancy. Argus.
The democratic press of the west were
loud in their desire for stiver legislation,
they got it at the hands of republicans,
nearly every democratic member of the
senate and house opposing the measure,
yet those same insincere, hypocritical
sheets prate about the democratic party
being the friend of the west, and that
republicanism has its home east of the
Alleghany's. Away with such duplicity,
the common people read too much about
public affairs to be caught with such
apparent moonshine. Plattsmouth

A grand republican rally will be held

The Feeder Market.
Stackers and feeders are selling very
low just now both here and at other
markets and one does not have far to
look for the reason. The number of half
fat cattle coming to market tells the
story of short crops and disappointed
hopes as plainly as a government statis
tician could possibly put it in black and
white. Nearly all the farmers of the
state expect to feed from one to a half a
dozen loads of cattle and from one to
twenty loads of hogs in order to bring
them a good return for their corn crop.
With this end in view a good many of
the farmers bought their stockers last
fall and spring expecting to put them
on corn this fall. But the corn crop
was a failure and the feeders must either
rough their cattle through the winter or
throw them on the market. These are
the cattle that are glutting tho market
at present Some having been on good
pastureage all Eummer are in good con
dition; where the pasturage was 6hort
will not bring as much now as they sold
for last fall.
Then again, in eastern Nebraska and
western Iowa where tho bulk of the
feeders from this market go to put on
flesh, corn, the almost exclusive food, is
only a partial crop and while some
regular feeders will not fatten a single
bullock, more will feed from a half to a
third their usual number. Thus the
supply being larger than usual and the
demand lighter than usual the result is
that thin young cattle are a drug on the
market South Omaha Stockman.

The Work or a Fiend.
The following comes from Minneapo
lis under date of October 10: Plymouth
township, this county, was the scene of
the most fiendish deed that has occurred
in Minnesota in many years. Charles
Hoppenroth, a German farmer, flew into
a towering passion, and when his uncon
trollable anger was extinguished he
found that the farm property he and his
wife had laboriously accumulated in
fifteen years was nothing but a pile of
ashes. His wife has a 17 years old son
by a former marriage. She petted the
lad, and there was constant trouble in
the family over him. Last Saturday
she threw dishwater on the front garden.
Hoppenroth "spanked her with a board,"
whereat she left the house with the
whole family, going to her own folks.
This angered Hoppenroth, and he grew
madder every hour. About 10 o'clock
he took a chain from a piece of farm
machinery and chained his three horses
to posts in the barn, brought in all the
valuable property near by, and, kindling
the pile with a quantity of dry straw
from a neighboring stack, 6et fire to it
and sullenly watched the well-built barn
flash into a blaze and die down into
ashes. The unfortunate horses burned
with the building. Not satisfied with
such work of destruction he carried a
big bundle of straw to the new house,
the home of his family, placed it where
the flames would spread rapidly, touch
ed off the fire, and in half an hour the
homo was leveled to the ground. Build
ing a rude fence about the stacks he
drove his stock into the inclosure and
again flashed the tire-brand. The flames
drove the cattle wild and they broke
down the inclosuro and escaped. By
this time tho neighbors arrived on the
scene of destruction, attracted by the
smoke and flames, and, taking in the
situation, arrested him and took him be
fore a justice of the peace at Plymouth.
The preliminary examination resulted in
his being sent to Minneapolis for con
finement to await the action of the grand
jury.
Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
The president left on his western trip
this morning. He will go direct to
Galesburg, 111., where his old brigade
hold a reunion on Wednesday. Thurs
day he will take part in the "Soldiers'
Day" exercises at tho Ottumwa, la., ex
position. Friday he will attend the vet
erans celebration at Tojieka, Kas., going
from there to visit his brother at Kan
sas City. Saturday he will be the hon
ored guest ir the Veiled Prophet, who
will hold his gorgeous aunual festival
at St. Louis on that day. Sunday he
will sjKMid at his old Indianapolis home
and Monday morning he will start on
his return, coming by way of Pittsburg
and ho is expected back at the White
House on Tuesday.
When will congress put an end to the
ridiculous and expensive practice of
closing a department of tho government
on the day of the funeral of every ex
secretary? Saturday the treasury de
partment was closed on account of the
death of Hon. P. F. Thomas, of Mary
land, who was for less than a month in
the last days of tho Buchanan adminis
tration, secretary of tho treasury. I
have not the exact data, but I am quite
sure that it costs tho government at
least $20,000 to closo that department,
one of tho largest, for a day, and it means
nothing but a holiday for tho employes,
who aro already liberally provided for
in that respect This senseless custom
furnishes a great opportunity for some
"watch dog" of Uncle Sam's money box
to make fame and at the same time save
a considerable amount of cash.
Today the McKinley tariff law goes
into effect, and Secretary Windom says
there will be no trouble at even the most
remote custom houses, as copies of tho
new law were mailed to all of the col
lectors somelays ago, and full instruc
tions have been prepared at the treasury
department in regard to its interpreta
tion and administration, And telegraph
ed to the more prominent ports. Owing
to the extraordinary efforts of the im
porters to load up before the new law
went into effect, it is expected that there
will be a great decrease in import duties
for some months to come.
The democrats are in a woeful state
of mind over tho condition of tho con
gressional campaign, and already many
of them are discounting tho defeat which
they 6eo staring them iu the face by
saying that they would prefer seeing the
next house republican becauso it would
increase their chances of carrying tho
presidential election in "92, but all the
same they are doing their level best to
carry it themselves. All this talk about
the democratic campaign committee not
having any money is simply bosh. It is
a part of the "keep-easy" program which
Mr. Flower has adopted. They have all
the money they want, and it behooves
tho republicans of tho closo and doubt
ful districts to keep their eyes wide open
and see that none of it is used corruptly.
It is because it is intended to use it in
that manner that the cry of "no money"
has been raised. Mr. Flower, tho mil
lionaire chairman of the democratic con
gressional committee started it by com
plaining in a newspaper interview, that
no one had contributed to tho campaign
fund but himself, and that he had a pur
pose in making that statement isn't for a
moment to be doubted, and that pur
pose is to make the republicans believo
that their opponents will have no money
to spend on tho election.
Capt James E. White of Chicago, has
been appointed superintendent of the
railway mail service to succeed J. Lowrie
Bell, promoted to be second assistant
postmaster general. Capt Whito has
has been continuously connected with
the mail service since tho close of the
war, was one of tho two division super
intendents retained by the Cleveland
administration, and is eminently quali
fied to fill tho position with credit to
himself and satisfaction to tho public.
Secretary Tracy has given the con
tracts for building two of the mammoth
battle ships, provided for by congress,
to the Cramps of Philadelphia, and for
tho other one to the Union Iron Works
of San Francisco. They are to cost
$3,120,000 each.
Representative Sawyer, speaking for
the majority of tho committee engaged
in investigating the charges against
Gen. Raum, says that nothing has been
proved which reflects in the slightest
degree upon either his private or official
integrity.
A circnlar of instructions to postmas
ters, defining the new anti-lottery law,
has been issued by the postmaster gen
eral. The navy department has formally ac
cepted the new cruiser San Francisco.
It has also contracted for the building
of four now ships to cost more than
eleven millions of dollars. Our navy is
growing, and the additions are the lest
in the world.

Pitcher's Castoria.
I
Prepare for Spring.
If it is a true principle for a nation to
follow, that "in peace, preparation should
be made for war," it is equally so that in
the fall we should anticipate the com
ing spring. Aside from plowing and
mulching in the field and orchard, now
is the time to lay the foundations for
an early garden. Beds of fine ground
well mixed with fine manure, should be
arranged i.n a locality sheltered from the
north and west, and exposed to the
south and east, and planted with the
roots of the English dandelion, seeds of
lamb's quarter and lettuce for an early
supply of vegetable growth in the
spring. If no proper situation can be
found near the house, the beds can be
artificially protected by banks of sod.
After the roots and seeds are planted,
small brush from the plumb thicket or
grove should be carefully and neatly ar
ranged on the bed, and fallen leaves
strewn over it in such a way as to fill
the spaces between tho brush. This
will protect tho bed all winter long from
the drying winds, and prevent a prema
ture germination of the seeds in the
warm days that sometimes come in the
latter part of winter or early spring. As
soon as the frost has left the ground,
and danger of deep freezing is past, the
whole covering can be removed with a
fork without disturbing the seeds.
Growth will begin at once, and the table
can be supplied with these early and
wholesome delicacies greatly in advance
of seeds planted in the spring, besides
avoiding the chances of entire oversight
which the hurry of more important mat
tors claiming attention at that season,
make so very probable.
Those fortunate enough to own an
asparagus bed, should arrange it now;
for all summer long the roots have been
gathering a store of food, and will be
one of the first plants to respond to the
warming sun, and send its delicate
sprouts to the surface.
In this country it is best to allow the
tops to remain on the bed, as they catch
the snows and bank them up, and keep
tho mulching from blowing away by the
tho winds that so often sweep the coun
try in winter. A dressing of fine ma
nure should be sifted over the bed with
a wide-tined fork, through the standing
tops. In early spring the tops can be
removed and the bed lightly stirred,
with a fork. The rhubarb plants should
ilso receive their dressing now, that
they mav not bo disturbed when the
growth of spring begins.
A few hours work now, will save much
in the spring, and give us earlier and
perhaps better results, than we can at
tain then.
