Secretary Morton declares that the

pulverising the soil than the plow does,
and do it quicker than the plow a deep,

The days of corporal punishment in
schools are past and the world is better
for it. Such methods as that are brutal
and inhuman and a disgrace to modern
intelligence. The teacher who believes
in such methods of punishment should
not be permitted to teach. Slaves used
to be beaten, but the idea of whipping
children for breaking imaginary rules
smacks to much of the brute order.

Senatok Sloan made quite a speech
in favor of naming Nebraska "The Tree
Planters' State." The Nebraska Pioneer
association, the State horticultural
society, the State board of agriculture,
the State dairymen's association, the
State press association, and also the
State lire stock and breeders' association
had all endorsed the name and the sena
tor closed by saying: "The name of a
sister state was by legislative enactment
pronounced 'Arkan saw.' Other states
have in a like manner ndopted symbols
suggestive of their ambitions and appar
ent destinies. And why may not Ne
braska by legislative authority, doff the
undeserved stigmas of 'Coyote' and 'Bug
Eater' and don the suggestive appella
tion, Tree Planters, in line with the
ambition of Nebraska husbandmen to
replace the arid plains with alternate
fields and groves, that the comfort of
men may be assured by cooling the
breezes of summer and tempering the
rigor of winter's blast; that the rains of
heaven may be reasonably controlled
and the seasons of earth favorably modi
fied. I trust that upon the roll call
there will be no dissenting voice and
thus baptize anew Nebraska with aname
worthy her highest industrial hope and
moving on to her manifest destiny shall
recognize ns her best citizen the man
who shall cause a tree to grow where
only a blade of buffalo grass has thriven,"
Senator Mullin recently introduced
in the senate of New York a bill prohib
iting any. woman from appearing in
tights or in any indecent costume at any
place where male persons are assembled.
An offense is deemed a misdemeanor and
is punishable by imprisonment of not
less than thirty days nor more than one
year for each offense. Any person who
procures any woman to so appear shall
upon just conviction be punished by
imprisonment of not less than three
months nor more than a year, and upon
each subsequent conviction shall be sen
tenced to the state's prison for a term
not less than two years nor more than
five years, or to pay a line of not less
than $100 nor more than $1,000. The
posting of theatrical or other bills with
indecent pictures is prohibited, as is also
the publication of so-called high art
pictures in any magazine, newspaper or
other publication.
Aug. C. Yocks sold his farm near Hos
kins and went to Maryland with a view
of purchasing land and remaining. He
went to a point on the coast about 100
miles from Baltimore, near the mouth of
the river which flows six hours one way
and then reverses itself and flows Bix
hours the other. Water could be obtain
ed anywhere by sinking a barrel in the
soil. The few soil tillers who exist there
live mostly on clams and oysters, raising
only enough corn for their own use. The
only stock owned by a farmer consists of
an ox or a mule, which is usually hitched
to a two wheel cart when the native is
compelled to move a quarter of a mile,
as he is too lazy to walk even that short
distance. The country and the people
visited in that part of Maryland are two
hundred years behind the times. Mr.
Yocks arrived home yesterday and has
made up his mind to purchase another
farm and remain in Nebraska. Nor

Gentlemen of the democracy, for
your own sakes and tho sake of the
country, give us a different set of men
at the head of affairs. The southern
brigadiers are not the kind of people to
run this country. There is something
greatly wrong with their way of doing
business; they do not understand the
country's needs, and t hoy wouldn't know
how to manage for them any way. We
have had enough foolish tinkering now
with government matters, and it is high
time that the country tnrn over a new
loaf, and tnrn tho incapables out, clear
out into the cold, cold air. where they
will bo compelled to stay for the next
generation. Let us have soma business
sense again in the conduct of national
matters.
TnE interior department will no longer
tolerate the illegal occupation of the
lands of tho Omaha and Winnebago
Indian reservations in Nebraska. The
Flourney Live Stock and Real Estate
Company and 160 parties who hold
leases under it refused to abandon their
claims when ordered. A bill has been
filed by the United States attorney in
Omaha asking for an injunction against
all the lessees, together with 350 sub
lessees nnder them, asking for an order
restraining them from interfering with
the Indian agent in the discharge of his
duty toward the Indians. The few who
are expected to resist will be promptly
removed by force if necessary.
Nerrafka has become quite a state for
good horses goers. But such property
is uncertain. D. B. Palmer, of Seward
last Wednesday morning, lost a two-year
old pacing colt, Hermes, as he was finish-j
ing a half mile at about a 2:o0 gait, whei)...
he staggered and fell dead upon the.
track. A post-mortem showed the burst-"
ing of a blood vessel in the brain. The.
colt had shown a speed-equal to a

making a two minute horse. The Re
porter says he had repeatedly refused
three thousand dollars for him.
Missouri has made a start in the
direction of pensioning school teachers.
The legislature has just enacted a law
authorizing the school board of St. Louis
to retire male teachers at the expiration
of thirty years' service and females at
the expiration of twenty-five years' ser
vice at half pay, provided the salaries do
not exceed 8800 a year. The males get
the worst of it as usual. But the law
was passed at the instance of St Louis,
which will at once proceed to put the
pension system in effect.
A man named
Swanson at Clinton,
Iowa, beheaded his 7-year-old son with a
hatchet Friday night. The recent death
of his wife and lack of work, it is believ
ed, crazed him. As he cannot be found,
it is believed by many that he has
drowned himself. Several years ago he
was for a short time an inmate of an
insane asylum; latterly, though regarded
as erratic, he was not considered
dangerous.

THE ONE GREAT ISSUE
FREE TRADE WAS LAID LOW IN LAST
NOVEMBER'S ELECTION.
Axw rTowTrytart Make the Car-
ywacy Qaaetlea theSeapeseat Fries f
FretecttoB. Mast Avoid Fallta lata the
Trap Keep TJp Tariff Discaaatoa.
The one great question at issue in the
elections of last November was the tar
iff, and the results of those elections
marked the greatest victory in the his
tory of protection. The echoes of that
great victory have not ceased to rever
berate, and yet already the tariff ques
tion seems to have dropped out of the
public mind.
This is in a degree not unnatural,
since no protective legislation is possi
ble in the present congress. Bat there is
great danger in letting the tariff drop
so completely out of publio discussion.
Free traders, who have seen the cause
of free trade laid low in the recent elec
tions, are only too glad to divert publio
attention to some other question. It is
well for protectionist leaders to be on
their guard and not to be led away by
the wiles of their eppouents.
Free traders would gladly make a
scapegoat of our currency system upon
which to lay all the sins of their un
American policy of free trade. This is
but a repetition of the tactics which
they pursued before the destructive Gor
man bill was passed. The scapegoat then
was the Sherman bilL To that they
claimed was duo all the evils which bad
overtaken the country since the elec
tion of a free trade congress and a free
trade administration. So successful
were they that a special session of con
gress was called for tho one purpose of
repealing the Sherman law. The law
was repealed, but distress and disaster
were as widespread as ever.
The people's eyes began to be opened
to tho truo causo of the disaster which
had come upou the country. The pas
sage of tho Gorman bill finished the
work of opening their oyes, and at the
November elections the voters arose in
their might to strike the deathblow to
free trade.
The free traders, defeated in a fair
battle, now seek to weaken the effects
of the great victory won by protection
and are in full chase after another scape
goat. This time the scapegoat is our
whole currency system. To that ore laid
all the evils, both new and old. This
action on tho part of tho free traders is
not surprising. The amazing thing is
that some protectionist loaders have fol
lowed the lead of their opponents, as
they weronot beguiled into doing at the
time of the repeal of the Sherman bill.
At the speoial session of congress
called to consider the repeal of that bill
Senator Ledge offered a resolution to the
effect that there ehonld be no tariff leg
islation until 1895. To those who had
accepted the clamor of the free traders
as truth, and who laid the distress of
1893 to the Sherman bill, this resolu
tion 6eemed irrelevant. But in that reso
lution Senator Lodge had but voiced
tho opinion of all protectionist leaders
that tho disaster which had come upon
the country was due solely to the threat
of tariff reform which lay in the elec
tion of tho present administration.
It behooves protectionist leaders to be
equally vigilant and outspoken now.

City Politics.
Quite a number of people of all parties
assembled at the Maennerchor hall Mon
day evening in the interest of the Citi
zens' ticket Mr. Griffen presided and
the proceedings were good-natured in
the main.
Mr. Gray made the first and principal
address of the evening, going over some
what in detail matters of municipal
government during the time he had been
connected therewith, about six years.
He didn't see why it was necessary that
thore should be so much partisanship in
the election of city officials; it would
certainly be better for all concerned if
matters, at all times, were decided on
their merits, and not because of suppos
ed party considerations. He instanced
a contest on the city printing whore one
method of deciding it was to allot it to
the three English papers of the city at a
one-third legal rate for each, but where
it was given by a party vote to the Tele-
1 gram alone. He remembered the pres
ent mayor (then councilman,) and the
present county attorney, then also coun
cilman, as favoring and. engineering
through the partisan decision.
Men elected to office, and nnder no
obligation when in office to ask them
selves any question except whether what
was proposed was for the welfare of the
public, would give the public better
service. The speaker believed that the
present mayor, had he been elected by
influences aside from the court house
ring, would have given us a reasonable
city administration, but from the very
first it was not to be so. The mayor
appoints certain officials and those
appointments ought to be confirmed by
the council. The first appointment that
camo was that of city attorney, and the
council held their breath. After a while
some one moved a confirmation, and it
was made. Next came that of chief of
police. After the announcement, the
council was ns quiet as the grave; the
silence became nuraensome, and was
finally broken by the mn or himself sug
gesting that if the oou-i : lid not wish
to act upon it at once they could leave
it for the next meeting, and it was done.
The speaker then went into the particu
lars of all that matter. How that, not
withstanding the fact that Mr. Brandt's
appointment as chief of police was never
confirmed, he has exercised the functions
of chief of police, under an appointment
as special, Mayor Phillips thus violating
the law which requires that appoint
ments 6hall be made by the mayor by
and with the advico and consent of the
council. When the council failed to
qualify, the mayor should have made
another appointment, but he did not.
He seemed to be under some ante-election
obligations that he considered more
binding on him to fill, than to appoint a
man whom the council could with some
conscientiousness vote to approve.
Mr. Gray said he was not specially
favorable to saloons, but when there
was an occupation tax assessed against
saloons, he did not believe in allowing
some of them to escape, and compelling
others to pay. We have some saloon
keepers in the city who honestly en
deavor to comply with tho terms of the
law, in every particular, and they pay
their license, havo always paid it, while
some others have been allowed in one
way and another, to run their bnsiness
with a $250 advantage over those in the
same line of business. This is not fair.
If we don't like the law, let ns change it,
but so long as we have it, let ns live by
it and treat all alike. Ho had thought
there was room for an honost, faithful
effort to have the ordinances of the city
enforced as they should be. He had as
little use as any one, he said, for narrow,
contradicted ways of looking at things.
He insisted on the right of free opinion
for himself, und freely accorded toothers.
The manhood is the man. It is not so
much what men say as what thoy do
that counts. He then commended can
didate Johnson, who was on the platform,
as a man who attended strictly to uis
own business, and who had the confi
dence of his fellow-citizens. Also cen
suring severely the action of officials of
the express company in regard to bis
candidacy and closed by saying that the
contest he considered lay between John
son, with all the considerations in his
favor, and Phillips, with all the political
strings he had to him a year ago. Shall
it lx a question for the citizens of Co
Inmbus to deride among themselves, a
question of manhood, or must the honest
citizens ask of political rings and cor
porations whom they shall he permitted
to place in oniee";
The office of mayor is no sinecure, it is
a detriment, an injury to any man in his
bnsiness, but when an express company
Bays to a man, aa they have said to Mr.
Johnson, if you do not step down, we
will move you out, it is t:me for the
public to take a hand, and see to it that
the power of corporations to thus inter
fere with the rights of citizeuship is
curtailed, intimating that state legisla
tion would be the wholesome way to
reach them.
Rev. De Geller was next to speak, and
had not said but a few words when the
lie was passed to him by Mr. Kilian (it
seemed from statements made that Mr.
Kilian had been attacking the preachers
in tho Biene), and considerable interest
was manifested for a little while, with
loud cries of "Put him out," which were
quieted by Mr. De Geller insisting on
letting him alone and saying: 'I will
speak as a gentleman, no matter what
others may do." He, however, made no
extended speech: reform, like charity,
begins at home city, county, state and
nation, and right here with our children
is the place to begin our work. All
citizens alike, whether native or foreign
born, are interested in seeing that the
laws of the conntry are upheld. Re
ferring to the present movement for
good government in the city of Colum
bus, ho declared that it was not either a
prohibition or a Know Nothing move
ment. C. A. Brindley made a liberty speech,
referring to the fighting qualities of the
Greeks, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons
and our forefathers of the revolution
and the veterans of the late war for the
Union, and said it was just as necessary
now that the people should defend
themselves against the dastardly vil
lains who undertook by foul means to
defeat the welfare of the people.
Mr. Chaplin said that since 1814 he
had been a republican, and when asked
what before that, ho told tho story about
the boy's pups that had changed from
democratic to republican, they had got
their eyes open. James K. Polk opened
the eyes of a good many democrats, and
thoy have been getting a knowledge of
national matters ever since.
Mr. Johnson said if elected he would
endeavor to qualify, and serve the people
as best he could.
Rev. Elliott told about going to Coun
cil Bluffs and waiting upon the gentle
men of the express company for which
Mr. Johnson is working, and gave in
brief their ultimatum, "ho can't run, or
else he can't serve us." The idea con
veyed was that it was a matter of busi
ness on their part. They had been
waited upon by parties from here.
Mr. Spoerry, made several references
to city government, stating among other
things that tho same police we have now,
under another mayor, would do all
right; the police open or shut their eyes
or wink, just as the mayor wishes them
to, and are no better or no worse than
the mayor is.
There were a great many calls from
certain parts of the audience for Kilian,
and, although doubtless it was out of the
line of the meeting to hare made any
reference to Kilian's contest with the
preachers, the presiding officer .thought
it not out of place to give a few minutes,
which Mr. Kilian occupied in telling the
audience what he thought of the preach
ers in politics, etc.
Rev. Pulis showed considerable inter
est in this phase of the proceedings. He
is a small man, intellectual, wiry, incis
ive, full of vim, and delivering his'thrusts
straight out He referred to a person
who had had much to say against preach
ers taking part in public matters; said
he had long ago learned that, having
property, he was amenable to the laws of
the land, paid taxes along with the rest
of the people, and considered it an im
pertinence in any man to suggest to him
that because he was a preacher he was
any the less a citizen, and entitled to all
his rights as a citizen, just the same as
anybody else. Who is this man? he
wanted to know, and proceeded to say
that he was an inscrutable providence.
And do yon know what that is? Some
thing you can't assign any reason for.
He referred to Col. Tngersoll's saying
once in regard to the Lord inflicting the
cholera and Andrew Johnson upon this
country at one and the same time, that
it was like projecting n huge doubt
serosa the sky of divine love, and for the
hard times and this misfit administration
and Kilian to lie put upon us at one
time, seems unusually severe, or words
to that effect
If he was one of this man's near
friends he would advise him to migrate;
to the north pole, and to climb up to the
top of the pole; sit down on its apex;
sit there until he congealed to an icy
and an enduring monument of sublime
impudence.
Tho political friends of Olaf John
son, who has been supported for mayor
by a very respectable number of citizens
of Columbus, feel incensed over the in
terference in his candidacy by the Pa
cific Express Company, whose agent he
is and has been at this place for some
time. It is charged that when tho nom
ination was first announced, a congrat
ulatory letter was sent from headquar
ters to Mr. Johnson, but that, afterwards,
a delegation of business men, it is not
known how many, went to the president
of the company and demanded that Mr.
Johnson be requested to withdraw from
the campaign, under the threat, as we
learn it, of the company's being boy
cotted. Mr. Johnson did not withdraw
from the campaign, and we suppose that
developments will be awaited. In the
meantime, however, it must be confessed
that the men who calculated by this
means to work defeat to the cause rep
resented by Mr. Johnson, can feel
assured that he will poll a larger vote
than before. The American people like
fair play in political matters, and there
are at least a goodly ratio of adherents
of parties of all names who would go
out of their way to resent any interfer
ence of this sort. It would not be at all
surprising for a corporation like the
express company to say that they would
prefer that their employes would not
accept office from anybody else, but to
make fish of ono and flesh of another,
and to succumb to every man in busi
ness who may not ba suited in the poli
tics of corporation employes is going
quite a good deal too far. If it may be
done in tho case of a non-partisan can
didate, it may bo done in the case of a
republican, and if it can be done in the
case of a republican, there would be
nothing to hinder that the democracy
could have their just rights as free and
independent American citizens inter
fered with. Apply the same rule all
around, and let it be a broad-gauge
American rule, no narrow-minded, big
oted, one-horse, picayune, disgraceful,
pop gun politics.

meets, resolves himself into a comraitt
of one, and passes a series of resolutions
giving the name Stearns Prairie to that
section of country.
The Journal in those days relished
jokes occasionally: "The drum major
who ran away from Chickamauga, when
roproached with cowardice, replied: I'd
rather be called a coward all my life,
than be a corpse fifteen minutes."
The court of impeachment of Governor
Butler granted a continuance of the

finally be rendered, guilty, in accordance
with the universal belief, the present
distrust in senators will not grow into
downright denunciation.
Taylor & Smith are making special

A Journal correspondent gives the
Pawnee Indians at the school at Genoa

accomplished in their education, not
only their learning in books, but the
advance they have been making in the

the call, all their pieces were of good
selection, and their play entertaining.

affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in n manner that will lie
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.

HEMP SEED TO LOU !
I want to contract with farmers within
hauling distance of Columbus to grow
about a thousand acres of hemp. Will
furnish seed and take pay out of crop
grown. Have two kinds of seed; small
est variety will produce ten to fifteen
bushelsof seed and 1)4 to 1 tons straw
per acre; other more straw and less seed.
Hemp stands drouth better than any
crop except alfalfa. Improves land
almost as much as clover and can be
grown twenty years in succession on
same land. On good land plowed deep
it made fair crop in 1894. For further
information apply at my office at mill
after 2 p. m. M. Jerome.

Heary Wallace Ont of the Homestead.
Henry Wallace, whoso namo is synon
ymous with that of the Iown Homestead, j
of which he has been editor for ten years,
is no longer connected with that paper.
Mr. Wallace has always been a strong
.anti-monopolist in fact, the present
Iowa railroad law is largely due to his
efforts in the Homestead. His with
drawal from the Homestead was tho
culmination of trouble between him and
the business manager on matters of edi
torial policy, Mr. Wallace wishing the
paper to continue to stand for nnti
monopoly principles. Failing in this he
has become editor of Wallace's Farm and
Dairy, a semi monthly agricultural paper
published at Ames, Iowa, at fifty cents
per year. Mr. WTallace will bo glad to
send free sample copies of his new paper
to his old Homestead friends, or Tiny
others, who will drop hint a postal card.
We will send Wallace's Farm nnd D?iry
