The fourth of July oration of
Major James "W. Davis at the
Grangers Elkhorn bridge picnic
reminds us forcibly of the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out. It
yras from the beginning to the end
a vigorous Democratic stump speech
from the Fendletonian stand point
without a single reference to the
anniversary of American Inde
pendence. The orators chief aim
seems to have been to depict the
degradation and corruption of the
American people In the most glar
ing colors. Viewed from that stand
point, the effort was doubtless a
remarkable success. Nobody could
have listened to this rhetorical
jeremiad without forming an opin
ion. that1 America is a nation of
rogues and dupes, while her whole
system of self government Is a
gigantic fraud without a single re
deeming feature. Why such a dis
pondent caricature of the nation
should have been presented on the
day when every true American
points with Just pride to the self
sacrificing patriotism that made out
America a nation of freemen we
are at a loss to devine. At all events
we are forced to pionounce It
sadly out of taste, especially when
we reflect that some of its most
striking passages were based upon
false assumptions which could only
be palmed off as truths on people
who are unacquainted with histori
cal facts and statistics.
according to Harrison Johnson
and Judge Dudley, who are the
founders and chief national officers
of the Co-ops., the principal object
of this order is the formation of a
political party, pledged to inaugur
ate and carry out certain specific re
forms in the Interest of the Indus
trial classes In the various branches
of the public service.
In other words, the object of the
founders and managers of the Co
operative Council of Industry Is the
formation of a new political party,
which Is expected eventually to ac
complish the overthrow of both the
Democratic and Republican organi
zations. When St A. D. Balcombe,
the manager and proprietor of the
Omaha Republican, voluntarily as
sumed the sworn obligations of
membership In Harrison Johnsons
political dark-lantern party, he
placed himself in -direct antagonism
to the Republican party, which his
paper still assumes to represent.
He cannot plead the baby act In
extenuation of his political treason,
nor can he escape the just responsi
bilities of his course, by declaring
that he sever intended to live up to
that oath. It would bo decidedly
more creditable for him to avow his
. active sympathy .with the- political
new departure, than-t6 admit that
he is playing the spy and perjurer in
the Co-op camp.
In any event he has forfeited
what little confidence the Republi
can party have had in his sincerity,
or sagacity as a political' guide.
Henceforth Saint A. D. Balcombe,
and .the JlepuUican will have to
share;.-the political, fortunes of the
Co-ops, and wo dare say the Re
publican party will not be a very
heavy loser by this change.
Count De Ckambokd has issued
Another stirring and pompous mani
festo to the French people, in belialf
of what he is pleased to term
"Christian Monarchy." -This mani
festo 1b, .chiefly remarkable for the
startling declaration that "France
has need of royalty; my birth
made sae your king." Why France
sbeula hare need of royalty at a
time when her National Assembly
has virtually pledged a republican
form of government to the nation is
not explained. Much less does De
Chambord seem to comprehend that
the mere accident ol birth should
not, In this enlightened age, make
him a klsg. His would-bo majesty
furthermore declares that he would
be waatiag in the most sacred du
ties if he Mglected to make a su
prease sfort ta overthrow tbo bar
riers ef prsjwlice. This supreme
extort may, however, prove a su
preme act of folly Just as his last
supfB elbrt, which proved so dis
astrous for the legitimists it the
French Assembly six months ago.
Another remarkable passage in De
Chamord's manifesto is (lie declara
tion that the union of the people
aad king eaahlcd the ancient mon
archy to arastrate for centuries the
calculattotas. of those- seeking to
domineer ovsr the people by con
tending against the king. We ap
prehend that, that was the kind of
A ualoa where the people were vas
sals or serfcj-aud the kings their ab.
solute masters. The world has
moved a peg or two since then, and
nobody but a lineal descendant of
the Bourbons would attempt to sad
dle reyalty upon an intelligent' aa-.
Hea.-with such insufferable twaddle.
THE GEUCAXS ASS THE DEMOCRACY
Just two years ago, during the
memorable reconciliation campaign,
the great old Democratic party went
into voluntary political bankruptcy
by placing itself under the protec
torate of Liberal Republicanism
with Greeley ana Brown as chief as
signees. The experiment proved
disastrous and the old political bank
rupt at once, and without ceremo
ny, repudiated its liberal Republi
can associates.
The German Republicans who,
under the generous impulse for re
form, had followed in the wake of
Schurz and Hecker, were the chief
element in the ranks or liberal Re
publicanism, and they felt the
treachery of their Bourbon allies
most keenly.
Two years have past A majority
of the Liberal Republican Germans
have resumed their former allegi
ance to the Republican party, de
termined never again to put their
trust in the promises of Bourbons.
And now when the old political
bankrupt in Nebraska, is again on
the verge of colapse, its leaders are
making frantic efforts to convert
German Republicans to the Demo
cratic creed.
Tbo leading Democratic organ,
the Omaha Herald, which as we
all know, never displayed muoh
love for the conquerors of Louis Na
poleon, except during political cam
paigns, places great stress upon an
article that appears In the columns
of a German contemporary, over the
signature of Philip Metz.
This gentleman, says the Herald,
is widely known jn the State, as a
leading Republican, whose intelli
gence, integrity, and candor, will se
cure for him a hearing from all men
of all parties' Taking bis cue from
Boss Heslng, and the Illinois
Slaalt Zeltung, Mr! Metz concludes
that in Nebraska, as well as In HU
nois, very little improvement can be
hoped for either from the Republi
can, or frOBl the so-called Farmers'
party.
After admitting that some of the
reforms demanded by the farmers
and mechanic's party, are timely,
Mr. Metz declares that nothing can
be hoped for from a party led by
preachers, women and conscience
less professional polltloians.
Mr. Metz very properly Inquires
whether it is necessary under the
best form of government in the
world to organize secret political so
cieties to oppose corruption?
Is it not a sneer at progress to Jut
troduce secret by-laws in a land
where free speech and free press
exist, to bring In mysterious and
antiquated humbug in order to se
cure tho just demands of the peo
ple? Again referring to theBepublican
party, Mr. Metz states:
The experience which tho Ger
man Americans have had in Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana, and especially in
Iowa, will be wholly lost on them
if they now and in the future follow
the Republican party through thick
and thin, ana iLe more so if it is
proved that the bigot element forms
a principal part of that party.
Referring to theso superficial ut
terances, the chief organ of Nebras
ka Democracy says :
"Mr. Metz advises all Germans to
join the Democratic party, and it is
not for us to question, when we
thoroughly appreciate, tho wisdom
of that course. The Democrats of
Nebraska do not merely need Ger
man votes at the ballot box to elect
good men .to office ; they require
their co-operation to re-establish
the grand old party upon the ad
vanced principles for whose practical
play in the national, state and
local covernment it is their com
mon duty to labor. It was the
Democratic party that struck down
oath-bound leagues and cabals
which threatened foreigners with
political and social ostracism in
this land, twenty years ago ; it is to
the Democratic party that the same
class of citizens, now so justly great
and powerful in this country, must
look for the maintainanco of
their political, as well as their
social rights and freedom, against
rising Intolerance and fan
aticism."
Yes, the Democrats of Nebraska
do not merely need German votes
tore-establish their broken down
Bourbon party, but they will need
several thousand other votes to
carry this State In the Impending
campaign.
Tho Bee Ij a Republican journal,
and as such it has done more to ex
pose and denounce dark-lantern po
litical orpanizations than tho Her
ald mid ail the other Democratic
papers :n the State combined.
And now we will address a few
plain questions to Mr. Philip Metz.
You advise the Germans to join a
political party .now, which you re
fused to support two years ago. Has
the 'Republican party bscome more
corrupt In that short period ? And
what has tbe Democratic party done
since then to merit your confidence ?
Do you claim that there has been as
.much corruption in our present
State Government as there was un
der the reign ot Butler fc Co.
Is not your chief cause of seces
sion a fear that Nebraska will enact
laws that will interfere with tho
traffic In beer? Suppose the Ger
mans should all follow your advice
and join a hopeless minority party,
would that prevent the enactment
of the much dreaded temperance
laws ? Would it not be more sensi
ble for them to defend their opin
ions within the lines of the Repub
lican party by taking an active In
terest at the primaries and conven
tions? A decision has just been ren
dered by Attorney General "Wil
liams, touching tho claims of Ne
braska to five per cent of the pro
ceeds from the Indian reservation
lands located within this State. The
Attorney GenefI holds that Ne
braska Is not entitled i? uy por
tion of this fund.
Ocr latest advices from the fa
mine stricken districts of India ia-
uicate a marked improvement ovr-i
ing to the favorable'eouditlon of tho
crops. This w'iir doubtless be follow
ed by a decided reduction in grain
exports, and a possible decline In
prices in the British grata' market.
NEBRASKA SKETCHES.
Prom Omaha to. Sioux City.
Special Correspondence of Tnx Bee.
Sioux City, July 5.
Editor Bee :
From Omaha to Sioux City by
rail is a trip of no consequence, but
with horses and buggy it is quite a
journey, especially if tbe roads are
muddy. At Blair we stopped at the
Maher House, which is a good
hotel with reasonable charges. Mr.
Maher also keeps a general store,
over which is a photograph gallery
that is now vacant Here is a rare
chance for-eome enterprising artist,
as Blair is large enough to support
a first class gallery. Two elevators
furnish the grain shipping facilities
for Blair, while Omaha has none,
and is apparently content to let the
surrounding towns carry off .her.
grain trade. Twenty miles north
of Blair, situated on the Missouri
Valley bottom is the beautiful little
village of Arizonia, containinghow
ever, the finest store in tho country,
which, together with three-fourths
of tho buildings in town and a vast
tract of well cultivated laud is the
property of one of the most genial
hospitable gentleman to be found
anywhere. I refer to Mr. W. B.
Newton, who also owns a fine ferry,
wldch is liberally patronized by
emigrants who cross the 'BJg Mud
dy" to find a home in the fertile
prairies of northern Nebraska.
Decatur is a rather sleepy town
on the southern edge of the Omaha
Indian Reservation. The only in
dication of life Is where the stage
stops, and this is at the duller
House, which Is certainly a good
hotel, with a gentlemanly land
lord. In going through the Omaha In
dian Ageupy, you see plenty of half
naked savages swanning from
loathsome looking places. The
Government has ImUt plenty of good
and substantial bouses for tbemt
and endeavors, jn every possible
way, to civilize them, but, as a nflv,
they prefer to live In tents, and re
fuse to labor in any way. The
Omahas are dull pupils in the Gov
ernment school of civilization.
Jusi north of this is the Winne
feago Reservation, Jferp some pro?
gross is being made, and you actu
ally see good fanjj and ' line stock
owned by Indians wbo cultivate
the soil themselves, and, some of
them, are reputed to be wealthy.
Schools are established among them
and fairly attended. Mr. Taylor
Bradley, the agent at this reserva
tion, is q njan who s evidently well
adapted for the control of savage
minds, and he seems to take great
pride in educating them In the ways
of civilized people.
He has now just completeda mag
nificent industrial school, three sto
ries high and one hundred by sixty
feet,
On leaving the Agency and en
tering Dakota county, we found the
first indication of the grasshopper
ravages, which has again, this year,
destroyed hundreds of acres of
growing crops that otherwise would
have given a bountiful 3'ield. Da
kota City, situated six miles west of
Sioux City, is a very quiet, pretty
little village.
Opposite Sioux City Is Covington,
which Is taking a Rip Van Winkle
sleep, when it could by a little ex
ertion become a formidable rival to
its thrifty neighbor across the water.
Sioux City is as lively as usual,
and is putting up more substantial
buildings this year than ever before.
To-morrow we will visit the coal
minus and that wonderful volcano,
an acoount of whioh wo will endea
vor to send In time for to-morrow's
Bee. Ranger.
Tbe Dixon County Coal Mines and the
Ionib Yoloano.
(Correspondence of the Bee.)
Poxca, July 2, 1874.
Editor Bee:
Nebraska's greatest need Is cheap
fuel, and so the mere announcement
a few months ago that a good vein
of coal had been discovered in the
northern part of the State sufficed
to create quite a sensation. But
when, still later, an infant volcano
was reported from the same locality,
people thought Dixon county was
merely trying to get up an excite
ment. So, in order to investigate
the matter, wo have visited both
the volcano and the coal mine, so
that the man' readers of the Bee
would know just what those reports
amounted to.
First, we will describe tho coal
mine, as that is of the most practi
cal importance. It is situated two
and a half miles north of Ponca,
the county soat of Dixon county,
and tho vein runs under tho bluff
that skirts tho south bank of the
Missouri river. In a small log hut
near by we found the man who, as
owner of the mine, will probably
some day be one of .Nebraska's rich
est men. His name is Fernand
Conrad, and- though poor, be is a
gentleman and deserves tho good
fortune which has fallen to him.
When we told him our business was
to soe the mine ho left his plow and
leading the way down a precipitous
bluff wo were soon at the entrance
of the coal drift. Here everything
Indicated tho hurry with which tho
work was being pushed forward. A
force of miners wa3 very busy tlnu
berlng tho drift and making other
preparations for developing the
mine. The "work is under the super
intendence of Mr. Winnermout a
man who can talk coal much better
than Grant can talk horse.
The drift is a simple hole, six feet
by four, dug straight into tbe bluff,
and has at tho present, been com
pleted for a distance of 117 feet.
The first indication of coal Is
found at the very entrance, In the
shape of a stratum of what looked
to us like nothing but very black
dirt, but as we walked along the
drift, we noticed this vein Increase
rapidly in thtokness and soldi ty,
until we arrived at the present ter
minus of the drift, -where it was full
two feet thick, and was certainly a
fair article of the Black Diamond,
and being tolerably-clear from slate
and sulphur, we should say that in
our opinion It Is equal, If -not supe
rior to Fort Dodge coal. Tho vejn
is increasing In quality and thick
ness tho further It recedes from the
surface, and Mr. Winnermont says
that he feels confident that he will
yet take from the mine, thousands
of tons of ooal, of a quality equal to
the famous Wyoming, in digging
the drift, a considerable quantity of
saleable ooal has been brought out
and sold, and the purchasers express
themselves as being well satisfied
with It,
The 2ua ferry aoross the Mis
souri at this point .! the value of
the coal constantly. The Company
formed to work this mine" are
Messrs." Brown, '"Winnermout 4
Hues; and they expect to be able to
supply a vast amount of coal, as soon
as the mine Is developed.
Other companies have been or.
ganlzed, and are actively at work
digging drifts, eome of which have
already found thicker veins of cool
than the one we examined. And be-
fore another year rolls around, there
will be coal drifts by the dozen in
full operation.
The Dakota Southern is now
making arrangements with a view
to putting in a railroad ferry and
building a branch line from Elk
Point to the coal mines. This shows
commendable enterprise on the part
of this railroad, and suggests tbe
idea that Omaha capitalists should
at once make extra efforts to com
plete the Northern Nebraska Boad,
placing Omaha in direct communi
cation with the coal fields, thereby
furnishing to her cheap fuel for
manufacturing and other purposes.
After dinner we started for the
Ionia t-olcana, which is situated
half a mile above the pleasant little
village of Ionia.
Mr. S. T. Hill, who is the general
business man of this portion of the
country, kindly volunteered to act
as guide. He took us in his skiff
and rowed up tho river to a bank
towering up from tho water's edge,
full two hundred feet. There, on a
narrow plateau, about half way up
the bluff, we saw and smelt .the
sulphurous vapor which indicated
the spot we sought. On arriving at
the plateau we saw several fissures
in the clay, from widch issued vapor
so hot that the ground in the vicin
ity was too warm to rest the hand
on comfortably. On listening, we
could hear strange Bounds under our
feet, like the distant roar of a blast
furnace.
Mr. Hill said that it was consid
erably hotter than when he was
there a few days before, and that
the heat has been continually in
creasing: Some time before this,
"hot-hole" was discovered a vast
land slide occurred, whioh is suppo
sed was caused by the internal fires
which have now found a breathing
place. After examining the embryo
-Etna our attention was called to
the bluff", which is of slate and clav.
with occasional gypsum formation,
aud. is full of petrifaction of nil
kinds. Half way up tho bluff we
dug out of thj ste a petrified back
bone, slpwlhg every, vertebral, and
not scarred or Injured In the least,
and immediately along side we
found imbedded In soft rook a hand
ful of shell fish, and there is no
scarcity to these petrifactions, but
the bluffs is literally full of them
It was from one of theso hluft that
Mr. Joseph flrMyer dug out the
wonderful petrified monster, whiph
Is now on its travels making a for
tune for some enterprising side
showman. Another Item of Inter
est is that Mr. Newton Whitehorn,
who lives a few miles south of Ionia,
is now digging a well with strong
prospects of striking oil instead of
water. We did qot visit the well,
but do wot doubt it, for there are
springs here that aro so porraeated
with oil that a cloth after being dip
ed In them burns readily, showing
beyond a doubt that there Is oil
with the water.
Messrs. Hill and Smith, while
prospecting for coal, dtsoovered a
mjno of boot blacking, as they fa
cetiously call It It is some kind of
black, porous substance, which,
without any alteration from the
state In which it is found, makes a
very neat polish blaoking when ap
plied in the ordinary manner. Carry
the news to the boot-blacks. Speci
mens have been fo. warded to Prof.

The Illinois Excursionists.
York, Nebraska, )
July 1st, 1874. f
Editor Omaha Bee :
I take a few moments from the
press of business, to drop you a
jotting or two, concerning our
grand excursion. We arrived in
Fairmont on the 24th, and return oil
the 22d of July. Most of the visi
tors have been on the wing over
since their arrival, in order to drink
In as much of pralrio beauty as pos
sible. Some came to visit friends,
some for health; but a respectable
portion were solid men, who wished
to purchase lands on a large scale.
Four well loaded wagons went to the
new town of Arborville, and
expressed themselves as delighted
with Its location and prospects.
Among the visitors were Rev. H
N. Baldwin, with a number of
friends from Wyanet, 111., Bev. Mr.
Dixon, of Hebron, who addressed
the people of York Sabbath morn
ing, and Rev. Dr. Walker, of
Wlieaton College, who spoke in the
evening. Dr. Walker is a writer of
wide fame, and tbe people were
highly delighted with his discourse.
The medical nrofession was well
represented by three of their num
ber, among them, Dr. Wiley, of
Earl, a phy&iolan of note, who also
was a short time ago, a member of
the Illinois Legislature. Among
the substautial farmers were I. J. W,
Heitnlng, of Piano, 111., who at this
date purchased a section and a half
of 11. fc M. land, and now have their
eye on several sections of U. P. land
for sheep-raising. Like most other
visitors, they were afraid that our
short grass indicated a poor stock
county. But when I took them on
my own farm and showed them
grass on the high ground that would
cut a ton and a half to the acre,
all because the firo had been kept
off, they expressed themselves as
satisfied, and was ready to record
tho fact that Nebraska was the finest
country upon which tho sun over
ever shone.
Tne Bowen brothers, who aro tho
largest farmers In LaHalle count',
III., were represented by one of their
number, who has looked over several
soqtjons OPftr Arborville with a vjew
of purchasing. The railroads are
wise in giving the people these op?
portunities to visit our new State,
The enthusiasm of large crowds as
they compare notes after their dif
ferent inspections, Is something
magnetic; the good feeling engen
dered in an excursion is contagious
the testimony of a. large number
of enthusiastic and delighted people
goes a great ways towards inspiring
others to come. As superintendent
of tho oxcurson I cannot refrain
- from expressing the thanks of the
visitors to the officers of the B. fc
M. Railroad, who, by every means
In their power, contributed to tbo
comfort of the passengers. And
what thp visitors and people say is,
'give us more excursions," and we
hope before summer Is overto have
two or three over the U, P. R. B.
Youre, C. S.Babrisox,

We are surprised ,to learn that

Ihaview of the coming elections it is

truly wonderful to see the amount

at their solicitude for the good of
