Tnitnn hundred people are on tho verge of starvation at Homestead. It is said that Cleveland very much desires the repeal of the silver purchase law. The health office at Hamburg reports 10.919 deaths there from cholera in 1892, and 2G.323 from all other causes. The births numbered 22,999. Henry Watterson is talked of as the successor of Senator Carlisle of Ken tucky, when tho latter enters the cabinet of President-elect Cleveland. CoNnRKSssiAN Bryan has returned to his duties at Washington, leaving the Xebraska general assembly free to select n U. S. senator tc suit themselves. It is not supposed that a U. S. senator will be elected until a week or so after the first ballot of yesterday. No special interest attaches to this week's balloting. Catt. J. H. Culver of Milford iB a candidate for adjutant general of the state. Capt. Culver is a man of good judgment, and would doubtless give satisfaction in the office. TnERE was an earthquake shock near Frederick, Maryland, last Wednesday afternoon. Goods were thrown from tho shelves of stores in Jefferson. The shock lasted from five to ten seconds. Monday tho weather throughout Eu rope was intensely cold in some parts of Hungary 52 below zero; in tho south of Russia 45' ; snow and high winds at Vienna; cold, stormy weather through out France. A 65,000 mill at Peoria, Illinois, ex tracts oil from corn, at the rate of two and a half pounds of oil to one bushel of corn, which is shipped to France and Germany, where it is used in the manu facture of fancy soaps. Maud Brown of Tucson, Arizona, was taken to Chicago Wednesday to bo treat ed for hydrophobia at the Pastenr-cnre in stitute. She was bitten by tho houso dog, that had itself been bitten by a skunk. She held tho dog, which was a large one, by the jaws, and it bit and tore her again. A. A. Cubberley of Seward died Sat urday week of an overdose of morphine. He had been in the employ of the Singer sewing machine company, but had just lately lost his place: became despondent and had been drinking heavily for sev eral days. It is not thought that ho intended to commit suicide. Of course tho democracy are feeling about as good over tho situation in Ne braska as thoy can but what of tho independents! Is this, really now, what they started out for? Is reform to be gin and to end with a division of the offices between independents and demo crats, simply that and nothing more? It is reported that if Governor Gray can not get into the Cabinet he will gladly compromise by taking the Indian apolis postoffice. He reminds one of the young miss who queried: "Mother, may I get married?'' "No, foolish child." "Then, mother, can I have a piece of bread and butter with sugar on it?" Inter Ocean. Gen. Butler's epitaph as suggested by himself is: "Here lies tho general who saved tho lives of his soldiers at Big Bethel and Fort Fisher, and never com manded tho army of tho Potomac" His wealth was estimated at 7,000,000. Among his western investments were tho Craig ranch of 100,000 acres in Colorado, three-fourths of the Mora grant of GO0, 000 acres in New Mexico. Private funeral services were held at Gen. Butler's residence in Lowell, Mass., Sunday morning at 9:30, and the body afterwards taken to Huntington hall ' where thousands were waiting for admis sion, notwithstanding the wild wind blowing at tho time. Behind tho catafal que rested a bank of flowers that had come from President Harrison, from tho convicts of the state prison, and from all classes of people between those extremes. Thousands of people crowded into the hall. While six desperate characters, pris oners in the Wyoming state penitentiary, at Laramie, were being conducted from the broom shop to their cell rooms, Tuesday last, one of them named Archer, crabbed the wardens loaded cane and dealt him a powerful blow on the side of the head, knocking him prostrate. The entire six then started to beat the other guards, but were fired upon with Winchesters, one being mortally wound ed, another sustaining a flesh wound, the other four retiring to their cells. Ixyely times in Kansas, populists and" republicans organizo separate houses of representatives, exciting scenes in tho Gtate house, personal encounters narrow ly averted, noise and confusion reign supreme, republican finesse pitted against populist determination are some of the head-lines in the dailies con cerning tho situation last Wednesday in that wonderful state which lies south of Nebraska, and which seems destined, one way or another, to attract tho world's smile or its frown, bnt certainly its in terested attention. Dr. Charles Eastman, the Indian whom Elaine Goodale married, and who is agency physician at Pine Ridge, is in Washington because he has been ordered in. Eastman and another functionary at Pine Kidge, who is also a protege of Commissioner Morgan, have been dis affected and making sweeping charges against Captain Brown, the militarv agent. It is likely that they will now be compelled to prove their charges or take the consequences. Commissioner Mor gan will, no doubt, back Eastman as long as he can and Secretary Elkins will stand behind the army officer. Do oub people wish their industries destroyed? Not many of them. They have been led to believe that they can . give an advantage to foreign industries without hurting their own; or, that they can benefit consumers without hurting producers; or, that they will save more . on what they buy than they will lose on what they tell ; or, that they can eat their cake and have it too. All these are de lusions. We are a nation of producers. In the long run we supply ourselves " " cheaper than others will supply us. Protection simply preserves this oppor . mnity.-f American Economist, County Supervisors. We make this week just a few notes of the proceedings. Gerber, whose right to sit on the board is contested by T. O. Blodgett, presented his certificate of election and took his place among the elect. The situation is that County Judge Hensley held that there was no election of supervisor in Butler township at the last election, and if his decision had not been appealed from, Keuscher, the former supervisor, would hold over. Gerber, having perfected his appeal, may possibly find that his certificate will hold good. Mr. Murphy, the former supervisor from Humphrey, holds over, as Mr. Shoemaker, elected, did not appear and qualify. It is perfectly safe to say that there is an element on the board that are not pleased with this turn of affairs. They had supposed that Murphy had been got rid of. Just what they will do to "tie him up," "weaken his influence," or get rid of him it is hard to tell. He can ask some pretty plain and pointed questions yet, anyhow, and The Journal thinks that the men who had been calcu lating on having pretty full sweep on the treasury the coming year will find them selves mistaken. Murphy didn't have much to do with the organization of this board, but if he don't succeed in sur prising somebody before the end of the year The Journal misses its guess. The county printing in newspapers was let by the board to the Telegram, Argus and Wochenblatt of this city and the Democrat of Humphrey, leaving out of the calculation The Journal and tho Platte Center Reporter, whose bids were as low as the others. The amount paid by tho county will be the same as last year, viz: one and one-third times the legal rate. Not all the democrats and independents on tho board are responsi ble for this decision, which leaves the only republican paper printed in the county without a share of the work. If it is intended by this to compel repub licans who take but one county paper to go elsewhere for their information on county matters, it will not work, for wo intend to give them all the more infor mation. When success is the criterion, wo look to the quality of the service. Of course it will entail upon us a great deal of additional expense, but we shall see to it, all the same, that republicans are informed of how their money is voted away, at least, and will take extra pains to give readers of The Journal their full money's worth of information during tho year, on county matters. Wo have never seen any reason why public matters should not be open and abovoboard. There is no good reason why, and those who hold by thought, by voice or vote, that any class of citizens, members of an honored political party, should bo kept ignorant of public mat ters, are not doing themselves justice. Judge Hensley's request for payment of rent for his up-town office was not granted. The contract for printing blanks was lot to D. F. Davis, his being tho lowest bid, S14G.75; tho bid of The Columbus Journal was S148.40, and tho highest bid, that of tho State Journal, S245.25. This latter company will furnish the stationery, and an Omaha house tho bocks. Dr. T. R. Clark was selected as county physician. The following is a list of standing com mittees of the board for tho year; the first named in each being chairman: Judiciary Speico, 01s6n, Kiernan. Roads and Bridges Price, Hurner, Lisco. Finance Rickert, Pollard, Olson. Accounts and Expenditures Johnson, Thomazin, Gerber. Claivns Mnrphy, Asche, Waggoner. Supplies and Public Property Elliott, Becher, Lehnerz. TnE St. Louis Republic is one of the strongest democratic journals in the country. From a lengthy editorial on pensions wo clip the following paragraph. Brief though it is, it is yet sufficient to illustrate tho principles of the southern (and ruling) wing of the democratic party in this country. Nebraska sol diers who voted with that party at tho last election may not liko this sort of talk, but, all tho same, it will be tho rul ing sentiment, if those fellows south can make it so: "But it is said that soldiers go out to battle while others remain at home in safety. This, however, gives the soldier no special claim, for those who remain at home are even more necessary for tho common welfare than is tho soldier. The country does not owe these men a free living. They have no right to live without work, unless public aid is given to them as paupers, and in such a way that it will disfranchise them." See how easy it is to lie and to sneer. The country truly owes tho Union sol diers more than it can over pay them, so far as that is concerned. It owes them everything; thoy aro not beggars in a land they fought to save; in a land where many of their comrades laid down their lives; where many famished in prison; where many lost their reason, dearer than life. Every one of these men who faced rebel bullets for the preservation of the liberties of his country (even thiB liberty of abusing the work of the soldier) is a sovereign in his own right; no pen sion can decrease the amount of grati tude due him, and such talk as is quoted from this democratic journal shows tho animus of the "solid south." It seems that Mr. Blaine's disease is ono that is now to physicians, a severe stomach trouble. Like so many other Americans who have worked hard and eaten irregularly, Mr. Blaine has long suffered from indigestion, but his case is by no means tho ordinary kind of stom ach strouble. That organ will, without premonition, cease working, and food taken is liko so much put into a lifeless sack. The organ would remain in a sort of trance for a time, and then, just as suddenly resume operations, and do duty in a very efficient way. In a few days Mr. Blaine would be in his usual health and the public was astonished to find that he was looking and acting as if no sickness had troubled him in years. Says one writer: "Eminent physicians made a study of his case. They made diets for him. They speculated as to the cause. They were pretty well agreed that back of this curious conduct of the stomach lay some organic trouble but no one could tell why the stomach went on a strike without warning and why it suddenly resumed work without reason. Within tho last year the starting and stopping of the stomach have grown more frequent and each time the stom ach has stopped it has taken a longer rest, and, continued the doctor who gives this explanation, who can wonder that Mr. Blaine is morbid about his health. When his stomach has stopped no one can tell him how to start it again. There is no certainty that it will ever start again. Each time ho goes nearer to death and each time returns after a lon ger time and with more difficulty. You can imagine what it means to Mr. Blaine and his family when his stomach has goco into a deathlike trance as it wero and when no one knows whether it will ever resume its duties again." Benjamin F. Butler, lawyer, states man, millionaire manufacturer and poli tician, died at his Washington residence, at 130 Wednesday morning. Shortly after 1 o'clock he was attacked by a fit of coughing, the expectoration being discolored with blood. He died in a few minutes, the end apparently painless. The day before, he caught a very heavy cold which produced pneumonia, and that in turn caused failure of the heart, which was the immediate cause of death. Only the day before, he remarked at dinner that he would die like a flash, and that some morning they would find him dead in his bed. He was born at Deer field, N. H., Nov. 5, 1818, and was one of the most noted men in the history of the country. A story, written and accepted twenty years ago, makes its first appearance in oue of the leading magazines for Janu ary. Its author is dead. Written for The Journal.

SPOIL THE ROD AND SPARE THE CIIILD. BY FRANCIS S. 8MITII. We publish thiB bit of poetry by request, and we are glad that our good friend has thus called our special attention to the lines, which are worthy, every ono of them, of your study and jonr practice. There i$ good sound sense, phil osophy, justice and right in them. Ed. Jour nal. Men and women. Shakespeare tells us, Are but children larger grown; This is true as truth can make it Few are fit to run alone. Not an adult soul among us But some folly lias beguiled: Then when little ones are faulty, Hloil the rod and spare the child. Anger only wakens anger Love it is that rules the heart; Force restrains, but does not conquer, Though the bitter tear may star:. If you'd reach an erring botom. Trust to reason and Ik mild.

From our regular correspondent. Senator Hill has beon a power on the democratic side of tho senate ever since he became a member of that body, and tho ease with which he "downed" Mr. Cleveland in tho New York senatorial fight, now regarded as settled in Mur phy's favor, has added much to his prestige, and the prediction is made by more than one shrewd observer of things political, who is without personal inter est in the matter, that Mr. Cleveland will find himself compelled to conciliate Senator Hill. Circumstances have un doubtedly played right into Hill's hand of late. Mr. Cleveland's recent declara tion that the original Cleveland men would be the first provided for under his administration was a trump card for Hill; it may enable him to humblo Mr. Cleveland very early in his administra tion. Senator Hill will control the votes of, four democratic senators Morgan and Pugh, of Alabama, Murphy and his own from the start, in any fight that ho may desire to make on Mr. Cleveland's nominations, and there are seven or eight other democrats, among them Daniels, of Virginia; Vest, of Missouri, and Vorhees, of Indiana, who will join him unless thoy are allowed to control tho federal patronage of their respective states. So strong does Hill feel himself to be that he has through ex-Secretary Whitney conveyed tho intimation to Mr. Cleveland that ho docs not propose to allow the confirmation of any mugwump as a member of his cabinet. Mr. Cleve land's friends regard this as great impu dence on the part of Hill, but they havo to acknowledge that the probabilities favor his being able to carry out his threat, unless tho republicans help Mr. Cleveland out, and nobody can give any good reason for their doing that. There is a probability that there may be some populist members of the next senate who will refuse to sell themselves to the democrats on the plan proposed by Senator Gorman, and greedily snapped up by such populists as Jerry Simpson. In that event even though tho republicans fall short or a clear ma jority of the senate, they may by reason of n dead-lock retain control of its or ganization. At any rate a caucus of republican senators has decided to fight the democrats on that line. If there were only the tariff and financial matters to be acted on, the average republican senator would be of tho opinion that the quickest way to disgust the country with the democratic party would be to let them havo tho senate along with tho rest; but tho exposure of that schemo to perpetuato tho power of the democratic party by repealing the laws providing for federal supervision of national elec tions, now the only obstacle to unlimited democratic frauds on tho ballot box, has aroused the republicans to the impend ing danger. The President in extending the Civil Service law to embrace tho letter carriers at all free delivery offices, mado the last extension ho intends to make. No one will deny that it was a just and proper thing to do, for tho letter carriers are among tho hardest-worked employes of tho government, and certainly ought to be able to feel secure in their position. Some npprehension is felt, however, that the Civil Service commission will not be able to hold examinations and mako np eligible lists in half of the free delivery offices before the administration changes, and until these lists are prepared the appointments will be made at the pleas ure of the postmaster. Secretary Foster says tho statement of the condition of the Treasury at the close of business on tho 31st of December, which was called for by the house ways and means committee by anthority of a resolution adopted by the houso just before the recess, will bo ready this week, and that it will contain every item of in formation in possession of the treasury department that can possibly be of any servico to the committee. Whenever a member of congress wishes to secure a littlo cheap notoriety he makes an attack upon that poor, de fenseless thing known as the District of Columbia, the residents of which have neither vote nor representation in or out of congress. One of the notoriety hun ters was representative Otis, of Kansas, who while the district appropriation was under discussion in the house moved an amendment providing that instead of the general government paying one-half of the total amount appropriated, it pay only one-fourth and the District of Co lumbia three-fourthB, and strange as it may appear to those who understand the rank injustice of the proposition, which was characterized by representative Henderson of Iowa as one of the most unjust he ever knew to be made in con trrees. thirty members of the house voted with him for the amendment. Repre sentative DeArmond, of Missouri, was worse yet; he wanted" the District to pay it all. The bill was finally passed by the house without any such torn-fool amendments. John McIntybe, a United .States pos tal clerk for the last six years, and a resident of Beatrice was arrested Thurs day charged with robbing the mails. He was trapped by a decoy letter containing two gold -filled chains and two rings, marked "value 150." The articles were found in his possession. The accused has always borne an exemplary reputa tion. A search at his residence revealed jewelry, dress goods and miscellaneous articles aggregating in value 300 or 100, that had been stolen from the mails. Mclntyro was not the man sus picioned by the postal authorities. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Platte Center. Will. Hennessey is visiting relatives in Omaha. Mr. F. P. Clother visited Columbus Thursday. Mr. J.
