Tnn funeral of Ernest Renan, the celebrated French philosopher, was held ut 9 o'clock, Oct. 7th. Tjie democracy are really alarmed over the situation in West Virginia, and cer tain congressional districts in Tennessee. The tariff, reciprocity and honest money policies of the republican party are doing their work. The New York Pres3 iB pretty good on cartoons. Picture a small boat, but large enough to hold Grover Cleveland, the Free Trade boat at anchor in Buz zards Bay, Grover anxiously looking over tho side at sword fish ( D. B. H. ) that has pierced a hole through tho side of tho boat, big enough for a big leak. Tho sword is labeled "Peck'fl Report," and that samo has given the democratic national committee much anxious thought. At San Francisco tho other day a man took too much chloroform with his whiskey, and did'nt come down stairs tho next day. A doctor was called and and turned the man upside down, and ho was restored to consciousness in a little while, tho doctor's theory being that chloroform poisons by producing anemia in tho brain, in plain English by driving the blood out of the head, so to contract this, let the blood in the feet, lega and body flow down into t he brain. Amovo the latest sensations from New York is that one J. U. Moore had committed snicido in accord with tho rules of a Hub of which ho was a member, iuHof the conditions being that each member, on joining, is compelled to fiv. the dato at which they are to take thoir own life. By a special request of tho club, it seems that he was offered a parole of ton yars but, he refused to ac cept it, and before killing himself wrote a letter to the coroner of Now York: "Sir I havo committed suicide as per club. PIcasu give verdict to such effect and oblige." Senator Paddock has returned to his home at Beatrice. Ho says that ho spent several hours at republican head quarters, New York city, on his way, and he is satisfied that not only will New York state bo for Harrison, but that a republican house will be elected in No veinlier. As to New York he gives these reasons: "The party organizations are very strong there. Ex-Senator Piatt is working liko a Trojan for President Har rison. So is ex-Senator Warner Miller. The Hill support of Cleveland is merely perfunctory, and the impression among the best informed republicans of that state is that there is very little sincerity in Tammany's protestations of loyally to Cleveland. " In fact there is but very lit tle doubt but that we shall carry New York easily." PiiATTE county farmers are interes ted in knowing what the policy of pro tection to American interests has done, during tho administration of President Harrison, to further their business, one of the principal branches of which is that of raising hogs lor tho market. An exchange presents it in the following paragraph: Tho increase in our exports of pork and hog products, for tho ten months ending Juno 39, is seen by the following table which gives tho figures of our ex ports to the three countries in which the rescinding of the prohibition had been operative for ten months, for that period of this year as compared with the same period of the previous year: 1SSI. sji.'jni n.sco.tus - UVS,ttli Increase. $ 1S.7& 2.0SS.O7! j:,5ii Denmark Germany Italy feoO.Ofi 8.23-i.ftX) i:i.'20f In Austria-Hungary the decree re scinding the prohibition of the impor tation of American pork had been in operation for sevon months, in Franw but six months and in Spain one month While the figures show a' goodly in increase, it is also pl.-unly to bo soen that the prejudices of the people against American pork must be overcome by time. Aa they see that no harm come? from using our pork, the demand will increase. Platte county and Nebraska aro inte gral portions of thi3 great country, which it is to be hoped will keep right along in thepath of progress. A Sample Coin. Every indignity offered General Weavor in the south will be used by the northern republican machines to inten sify sectional feelings and hold tho un thinking class in line with that party." The above is a sample paragraph from the Argus of this city, and it is about its usual conception of things. "To inten sify sectional feelings!" Ever patriot recognizes the fact and always has recog nized it that when a community will not listen to argument; when it assails a political opponent with stones and stale eggs instead of cogent and honest reasons for opposition; when it intim idates and bull-dozes; when it brow beats, and stuffs ballots; when it does not hesitate to kill its political opponents to get them out of tho waythere is something very radically wrong, whether such things occnr in Georgia or in any other democratic or other party region north, south, east or west, and so far as republicans are concerned, they believe with that old-fashioned demo crat, Thomas Jefferson, that Truth should be free to combat Error, and tho party will not be satisfied until every man in the United States who lias a legal right to vot shall bo perfectly free in casting his ballot as he wishes, and have it counted as he casts it. When this shall be tho rnle, the egg throwing incidents will be reduced to a minimum. There ought, to Ik con siderable more intensity of feeling everywhere on this subject than there is. Weaver is entitled to as respectful treatment as Harrison or Cleveland- it in not a matter of persons or parties at all. it in a matter of right to Ameri can citizens, and one of the first steps in its accomplishment is an impartial, though national election law that will put. the hoodlum element so completely under cow that it will find no alterna tive but submission to the will of right minded citizens. --Hold the unthinking class in line with that party." Just read that again, yo republicans who have been thinking all your lifetime; read it again, ye re publicans who indorse the spirit of Gov ernor Cronnse's utterance the other day when ho said he desired only the votes of honest men; read it again,ye republicans, and see the utter depth of meanness which lies back of the remark. GREAT ACTIVITY IN BUSINESS. Dun's Review Says That All Brancuea or Trade Are Dolus Well. New Yor.K,Oct-10. It. G. Dun & Co., in the weekly review of trade say. 'The first week of October shows more activity in spite of the near ap proach of the Presidential election. Business is distinctly better at the South on account of the improvement in the price of cotton, more active at the West with improved crop prospects, and only slightly retarded at the East. "Trade at Boston is somewhat nar rower as the election approaches. Cotton goods arc decidedly firm and wool stcadj- in price, with holders con fident. "Chicago reports a large trade in merchandise and good collections, with bank clearings 14 per cent larger than a year ago, and decided increase in real estate and lumber transactions. Receipts of cattle, hogs and sheep are slightly larger than a year ago, but receipts of Hour, barley, cheese, hides and dressed beef are double last year's decrease, being noted only in seeds, lard, wool and rye. "The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 220 as compared with totals cf 203 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 270." CELEBRATING AT WOBURN. Secretary of State Foster Pretest to Represent the 1'resldeat. Wobujin, Mass., Oct 10 It is out lined that 20,000 strangers attended the quarter millenial celebration. The weather is all that could be desired and the big procession, the feature of the forenoon, was a pronounced suc cess. The climax of the great celebra tion came in the banquet in the ar mory iu the eveniug. Ex-Mayor Johnson performed the duties of toastmaster in a most grace ful manner. In his introductory ad dress he called attention to the fact that three Presidents of the United States Franklin Pierce, Grover Cleve land and Benjamin Harrison traced their ancestry to families now or formerly residing in Woburn. The first toast was "The President of the United States," and after a brief letter of regret had been read from President Harrison his representative, in the person of the Hon. John W. Foster, Serve tary of State, was pre sented and given a reception that must have stirred his heart witn delight. .STEAMER IDAHO SAFE. Word Received Here That the Hie Vessel Is nt Bayfield.

A Divorce Suit Leaves One nt the Par ties in a Doubtful Position. Peoria, 111.. Got. 10. Developments in a divorce ease here reveal a queer mistake of facts aud the lawyers arc undecided as to the proper standing of one of the parties. Mrs. Francis Whitaker, wife of Kobert Whi taker, a wealthy farmer, eloped with the hired man and divorce proceedings were be gun. The trial resulted in judgment for the complainant, Robert Whitaker, but a divorce was never signed. The wife returned toher husband and all thought that the matter had terminated satis factorily. It seems that Mrs. Whitaker was secretly married to the hired man immediately after the first divorce pro ceedings. Yesterday a decree was signed by Judge Worthington and it is a question whether Mrs. Whitaker that was is a bigamist or not. Matters will be allowed to remain as they are and no attempt at prosecution for bigamy will be begun. MADE THEM ALL RICH. A Decision of the Courts Brings For tune to the Woods anil Their Attorney.
