JuoaiNQ from the proceedings oi

the Prohibition party will meet
with serious obstacles in the organi
sation of their new departure.
" \VK understand there is some talk
about changing text books in the
Board of Education. Tn view of
past experience it seems to us dis
cretion would dictate against such a
policy.
CHICAGO has abolished those en
ticing dens of iniquity known as
the "pretty waiter girl saloons , "
aud Mayor Colvin has issued a
proclamation revoking the license
of these resorts , and directing the
Chief of Police to- close them on
Monday next.
THE new anti-lolcry law of Illi
nois , which went into effect on July
lstforbids the publication of lottery
advertisements under the penalty of
a fine not exceeding $200 for each
offense. Several of the leading Chicago
cage dallies are now charged with
wilfully violating this law , and
tLaro Is n fair prospect of a few in
dictments.
Rights are sadly out of
joint in Vicksburg. A resident of
that rock-rooted citadel has been
put into a peculiar plight. During
the just-ended campaign there , he
was accused of being a black man.
His face "was darkened by an explo
sion of gunpowder during the war.
The accusation hurt him seri
ously , coming as it did , when the
lines between white and black were
rigidly drawn. So he has been get
ting certificates of his true color from
relatives and fciends , and publish
ing them. The Vicksburg public
is now doubtless satisfied that IIQ is
not as-black as the gunpowder pain t-
_ < ? d him.
THE managers of the trunk rail
roads , between the Atlantic sea
board and the Missouri river , have
recently consumated another coali
tion by which the rates of transpor
tation are very materially advanced.
This Is not only a heavy blow at the
producers of the great west , -who
.are just now compelled to forward
their crops to the eastern market ,
but It will also seriously retard im
migration.
While the freight rates on grain
have beetfraised from ten to twenty-
five per cent the emigrant rates
have been advanced from 100 to 150
per cent over the rates prevailing
since March last The emigrant
rate between New York and Omaha
is advanced from $15.00 to $23.50 ,
and this is s . & illustration of the
to other poiatf.
HOW THE PBIMABEES SHOULD BE
CONDUCTED.
The Douglas County Republican
Central Committee meet in this city
Saturday to devise the plan and fix
the time for holding the primary
elections. The principal object ol
these primaries is to enable the
members of the Republican party to
select the delegates to represent
Douglas County in the State Con
vention.
The problem for the committee to
solve is , how shall these delegates
be elected ? During many years
past it has been customary to elect
these delegates by the indirect
method of voting through county
conventions. Under this" arrange
ment each precinct was authorized
to send a given number of delegates
to the county conventior , and a
majority of those delegates in their
turn elected the delegates to the
State convention.
Experience has demonstrated that
this system is liable to very grave
objections. It deprives the people
from a direct choice of agents , and
frequently results in the defeat of
the will of the majority. Unscru
pulous politicians can thug obtain
a majority of the members of the
Convention and dictate the names
of the delegates to the State Con
vention. The delegates thus
selected , Instead of being inde
pendent agents or popular rep
resentatives | become the mere
tools and puppets of a political dictator
tater who makes use of them for
his personal ends. Suoh sharn rep
resentation becomes a mere mock
ery ; and we believe the time has
come whcn this system should be
abolished. The most pff pjve $ way ,
it seems to us , would be to let Re
publicans elect their delegates by
direct vote. This W1 } | result in the
selection of a better class Iqf flplo-
gates ; and will , moreover , make it
almost Impossible for any faptjon in
the party to control the whole dele
gation. The only obstacle In the
way would be the country precincts.
To obviate this difficulty we would
suggest a sgparate apportionment
for the courjty prccfnpts. Tbe Re
publican voters' } > thp cjty would
thus elect their own delegates and
alternates by direct vote , and those
of the country would elect their
quota- The direct vote system is ,
we understand , now in vogue in
Ohio and other States and. gives
general satisfaction.
Another subject that should en
gage the attention ot the commit
tee is the purification of the prima
ries. They should adopt some plan
for the prevention of ballot box
stuffing repeating and guard
against the intrusion of nonrRe-
[ lublican voters.
Unless this is done , respectable
Republicans will not participate in
the primaries , and the persons elec-
: ed will merely represent a corrupt
minority.
HOTOBIOTJS FACTS.
It is notorious' that It was a long
time after Grant's nomination be
fore Rosey hoisted the Grant ban
ner. Lincoln Blade.
It is notorious that the BKE was
: he first paper in Nebraska that
hoisted the Grant and "Wilson ban
ner. Grant was nominated on
June 6,1872 , and the same day the
BEE hoisted his name at its mast
head with the following leader :
"Now that the Republican party ,
through its National Convention ,
uos declared the principles , which ,
as a party , it proposes to advocate ,
and nominated its standard-bearers
for the national campaign of 1872.
We deem it our duty to place their
names at our mast head.
"In taking this step we have by
no means abandoned our intentions
md efforts toward political reform.
Believing in the language of Senator
Sumner.that the name of Grant was
x synoym of discord in the Republi-
: an party , we have , up to the pres-
! iitmadeevery honorable andlegiti-
nate effort toward securing the
m'ty of our party by a consistentop-
> osition to President Grant's re-
lomlaatlon. In the exercise of this
> rerogatlve we have advocated re-
brms which arc now embodied in
he platform upon which General
Jrant must stand. "We sincerely
iclicve that these reforms can be
irought about through the agency
if the Republican party through its
enresentatlvcs in Congress.
* * * * *
Within its ranks we have succeed-
d in exposing corruption and bring-
ng malfactors in high places to jus-
ice , and within its ranks we pro-
ese to continue the battle of
eform.
This explains lully and clearly
lie position of the BEE prior tend
nd after the renomination of Pres-
ient Grant. It also proves Caffrey
ud his JJlade notorious falsifiers ,
he other assertions of the Lincoln
in-mill organ are equally unrelia-
! e. "We should hardly have noti-
; d the muddled utterances of this
otorious inebriate were it not for the
ict that parties not familiar with
10 record were likely to'be misled
y them. It is not our desire to pol
ite the columns of the BKE with
isgusting personalities , and we
lercfore dismiss the Lincoln blath-
rskite from all further notice.
THE BKE is by no means afraid
i wrestle with the Temperance
aestion. Our sentiments on this
sue is well known. At the
ime time we can see no good rea- 1
in why this Issue is to , be thrust ]
'
i to the'impendingpolitical canvass , 1
1
hen it te well understood that the 1i 1I I
ermanent settlement of i
: m cannot be had until the new
oustitution /ramed and submit-
; d to the people :
The next Legislature might pass
dozen bills to regulate , restrain or
ippress the liquor traffic , but such
gislation could be readily upset by
10 constitutional convention. The
nly way to settle the temperance
sue _ is to submit the questions of
cense , local option and prohibition
> a direct vote of the people , when
new constitution is voted on-
i the language of Abraham Lin-
) ln , "We don't propose to cross
ox river M we get to it. " I

Financial Theories.
There is no question perhaps on
rhich theorizing is so apt to be
rroneous as upon matters of
imince. There are such a host of
auses at work , and they are modl-
ied by such a multitude of circum-
tanccs , that no man can predict
, o\v a given measure will work un-
11 it is tried. Probably no notion
as been more widely prevalent
lian that the country needed more
uncncy. There are many
icts which have seemed
j point tliat way. But had it been
fact that there was really a de-
land for more currency to carry
II the business of the country , we
iould at once witnessed .a vig-
rous demand for new national
anjis under the currenpy bill
r lost session. So far has this ,
ecu from the case that the vol-
ntnry return of circulation by )
utional banks already established Dat
at
tis nearly kept puce with the is- , is

resent the increase is only about alD
le-tenth of one per cent , to the to- stT

thought that the applications for IIIt
