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

offices between independents and demo
crats, simply that and nothing more?
It is reported that if Governor Gray

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

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

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

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.

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.

WHO IS "MISS NANCYF
BT MABIAN GRAY.
Miss Nnncy's the fellow who runs every day
Upcatii-K whatw er the gossips dare say, m
Ilia tongue being limber, his brain being light.
He goce on repeating from morning till night.
Alas! for the lonely, the storm-stricken poor.
Whose wandering footsteps e'er halt at bis door.
Alas! for the neighbor who trusts in his word
Miss Nancy and Truth had a battle, I heard.
And Truth fled from sight on tho wings of the
wind,
And left each Miss Nancy to worry mankind.
And wherever the taint of n falsehood is found
Miss Nancy seeks out that delectable ground.
In the blackness of midnight he'd bury the sun.
And laugh at the tears of the helpless and lone.
If such a hard nature could manage the sky,
TheroM not be a sunbeam left shining on high.
Does it make a man better, in heart and in soul
To heap up the burdens of slander that roll
From lips that love whispers of wicked untruth.
While striving to silence the Ghosts of their youth t
Oh, stop! help somo weak soul now stemming
the title.
Do you feel it, neighbor, when slanders deride?
Then shut up that gateway which opens to view
The greatest of evils this world ever knew.
Some females are gossips were born so, you
know,
ForgPt their own door-yard when tattling they go;
Wherever they live, earth isdaily acenrs'd.
Since a gossip for slander is ever athirst.
Hut, a mun with a heart, in his masculine breast,
SiH'inH an elephant, hunting a tiny bird's nest
When he stoops to assail the peace of some woman
Because 6he is helpless, by slander inhuman.

Oh! then gently deal with children,
If they wayward prove and wild.

-fNew York Weekly.
Washington Letter.
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.

We want every mother to know that
croup can bo prevented. Truo croup
never appears without a warning. Tho
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied tho hoarse
ness from the start. After that a pe
culiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by-the croup. Tho time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
tho disease may be prevented by using
this remedy as directed. It has never

There is no danger from whooping
cough when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is freely given. It liquefies the
tough, tenacious mucus and aids in its
expectoration. It also lessens the se
verity and frequency of the paroxysms
of coughing, and insures a speedy re
covery. There is not tho leaBt danger
in giving it to children or babies, as it
contains no injurious substance. 50 cent
