Prom all accounts the celebration

AFTER selling out Mr. Augustus
Weis , one of the most popular and
intelligent Germans in Douglas
count } ' , it is more cunning than kind
In the editor of the Herald to appeal
to the Germans for support of the
Bourbon ticket
"NoTinNiJ is so successful as suc
cess , " and this maxim applies -very
forcibly to the present State Fair.
Everybody is forced tvi admit that
it is a crand sticccse , and even the
most incredulous are exclaiming ,
"Didn't I told you so ?
THE Cincinnati Times is deter-
mided to snub everybody that does
not implicitly believe in the Black
Hills gold discoveries. Beferring to
the recent publication of Lieutenant
Colonel Grant's views the Journal in
question says : "We have no ob
jection to the Associated Press dis-

pose of preventing trouble with the

COflTEMPTIBLE WAKFABE.
The warfare waged by the Kebras-
Ji Temperance N w against Bnuio
Tzschuck , the Republican candidate
for Secretary of State , is absolutely
contemptible.
Everybody knows that the editor
of the temperance organ had for
many months past been waging re
lentless war upon the Eepublican
pa'ty. "Whether this was merely a
scheme to frighten Bepublicans Into
a policy that has proved suicidal In
every Ssate where it has oeen at
tempted , or whether this was an In
genious effort to force Republicans to
buy him off with monej or office , is
immaterial. Suffice it say that like
Jeff Davis he had decided to secede
before an overt act had been com
mitted justifying such extreme
measures. When the Eepublican
Convention was in session , this fire-
eating Prohibitionist was active in
working up candidates for the Re
publican party that would be easy
to beat.
After the Republican Convention
had adjourned Mr. Slaughter per
sonally acknowledged to us that he
had worked hard to have Doctor
Renner nominated. Why did you
work for Reuner in preference to
Tzscbuck ? was our question , and
he replied , because Rennervas
much easier to beat. And this is
the man thac now assails
the unimpeachable character of
Bruno Jzschuck in the most in
famous manner , by changing him
with being a walking beer keg and
low saloon keeper. The last num
ber of the temperance sheet con
tains a letter from H. B. Kelley , the
"Democratic" county commissioner
of Sarpy county-who , withoutgiying
dates and names attempts to convey
the impression that Bruno Tzschuak
had at one time kept a saloon al
Bellevup , and had been complained
of before a grand jury for selling
liquor without a license. This in
formation Mr. Kelley , claims to
have obtalnec } from some of the or
iginal settlers of Sarpy pounty ; but
he is very careful not to state then-
names.
Mr. Kelley has doubtless lived in
Sarpy county some eight or ten
years and Ac has no peisonal knowl
edge f those defamatory charges.
.Now wo have good reason to believe
that this is one of those campaign
lies , forged expressly to suit the oc
casion. It is evident that the Tem
perance organ is determined to elect
a Democratic Secretary of State , for
no sane man claims that the Prohi
bition candidate has the slightest
chance.
How any m n , professjng to be
actuated by moral principles and a
desire for genuine political reform ,
can so demean himself as to wan
tonly assail the character of a Re
publican , who , quite apart from be
ing an honest , hard-working Ne
braska pioneer , has an honorable
political record and unexceptionable
social connections , passes our com
prehension.
THE Superintendent of the Cen
tral Pacific has admitted in a card
published some days ago , that the
Nevada division of that road is in
fested by monte gamblers and now
thp Chicago Tribune hands the Cen
tral Paoifio ovpr to thp tender mer
cies of the Grangers.
Even ready to award credit where
it is due , the BEE takes pleasure in
commending the liberality of Hon.
John I. Kedick toward the grass
hopper sufferers. This action is the
more commendable in view of the
fact that Mr. Redick is no candidate
for office just now.
WE had tha pleasure of meeting
Professor Perry , the eminent Sci
entist , whojhas come to Omaba , all
the way from Massachusetts , to de
liver the annual address at the State
Fair. Professor Perry is a scholar of
rare literary and scientific attain
ments and his address will doubt
less be replete with gems of practi-
caland usofuj information.
WHILE Nebraska Prohibitionists
are bemoaning the failure of the
Republican Convention to put a
local option plank into their plat
form , it may not be out of place to
publish the fact that the bupreme
Court of California has just rendered
a decision declaring the local option
law recently enacted in that State
"unconstitutional. "
THE comment of the New York
Commercial upon the Democratic
tactics will apply forcibly to the
Herald's flings touching the talking
qualities of Silas Qarber. The Com
mercial says : "Stepping down from
argument to abuse , the Democratic
newbpapers publish Grant's public
speeches to show that he cannot
talk eloquently. But what of it ?
Horatio Seymour , Jefferson Davis ,
Sam/Tilden , George Francis Train ,
William Dorsheimer , and Theodore
Tilton can all talk fluently by the
tiour , and their weary auditors often
wish to Heaven that they couldn't. "

TRAVEL AND EMIGRATION.
EmigrantFi lds of north Amer
ica'
( Edwin Curler In tbe London Turf and Field ,
BeptSth )
On July 6 I left Fremont for a
visit to Stanton and Cummg
counties , in the famous Elkhorn
Valley. The Elkhorn is a tribu
tary to the Platte. Its general
course is about 200 miles , and in its
windingitisprobably nearly double
that length. Its an important ar
tery hi the drainage system of the
vast lacustrine region of the west ,
and through its railroads , now com
pleted for fifty miles or upwards to
Wisner , in Cuming county , and
which will doubtless eventually tap
the timber regions of the A iobrara ,
some 250 miles from its starting
point , it will eventually become a
very considerable artery of com
merce. On the train I met the
once notorious General O'Niel , who
led tbe great Fenian invasion of
Canada which ended so suddenly in
a most inglorious fizzle. O'Niel is
a fine , handsome , and very gentle
manly fellow of aboutj thirty-five ,
and ho is now engaged in the laud
able endeavour to draw some of his
countrymen from the temptations
and povery of eastern cities to the
purer life and the eventual comfort
and plenty of homestead set
tlers in the far West. An Irish
colony under his auspices is
expected to settle in Holt county ,
far up towards the sources of the
Elkhorn. This is a long distance
beyond the present terminus of the
railroad , butthe project is not with
out very considerable advantages.
If the colony should be favorably
started , the first settlers for three or
four years will be able to sell their
surplus produce to new comers , aud
they will need butlittle transporta
tion till the rail way completes its in
evitable course up the river. They
will have a sufficiency of timber for
building and fuel , and on the whole
there is every reason to believe that
their settlement will be a substantial
success. O'Neil goes into the mat
ter with true Irish enthusiasm ,
dwelling upon the fertility of the
soil and , the numerous Advantages
of the project ; and I havp no doubt
that he is perfectly sincere in the
belief that the Celtic colony , > vith
"The O'Neil" for its chieftajn , will
be a paradise for all ,
We stopped for the night at Wis
ner , the temporary terminus of the
railway , and the next day , with a
two-horse trap and driver , and a
hind surveyor and agent familiar
with the country , wo dro.ve , into
Stanton county. For a dozen wiles
or rnoro our route lay along the
beautiful timbar-sklrted river to the
little village which does duty as
a county seat. Farmsteads were
quite numerous , some of them , sub-
stantja } and " tidy , and showing ,
by their" artificial groves aud
otherwise , the marks of five or
six years' occupancy. The soil Is a
very rich light sandy loam , and the
wheat , oats , and barley werelooking
well. One Uerman widow , with a
cozy , well-situated farmstead , had
80 apres ' of good whpat , anfl 10 of
maize. She was in pursuit of har
vest har-ds , whom she expected to
pay § 2.50 per day and board ; but
she counted herself for one in the
field , binding , as she did , with the
best man among them. Her first
wheat field was 16 acres , from
which she sold about 500 bushels ,
but hist year a large part of her
ciop was destroyed by an ovprflow
of the rivor. The German settlers
are apt to work early and late , tbe
women toiling with the men in tne
fields as much as possible , and they
thrive accordingly. After breath
ing our horses at the village , we
crossed the river , and followed a de
vious course , principally along the
banks of the Union Week to the
south-west township in the county ,
where we stopped for the night at
Craig City , a vUJage of the future ,
at present consisting of a" farm
house , a little cabin , and a number
of good farm buildings. On this and
an adjoining section are two fine
fields of maize of about 820 acres'
There were also about 100 swine ,
and a Rtlll larger number of very
fair cattle. The whole township of
thirty-six square miles is the prop
erty of a shrewd speculator in Ohio ,
and It was interesting to me as an
almost unique attempt to combine
a large farm with cattle breeding in
inclosed grounds. Several years
ago the proprietor set out thirty-six
miles of hedge surrounding the
township , and dividing it } nto four
equal parts. He employed a head
farmer and assistants , as they would
be called here , broke up parts of two
sections , and made the necessary
improvements for starting a
good farm and a good herd
of cattle , which he intended
to increase as circumstances
allowed. When his hedges should
become good fences he intended to
fill the township with cattle , to be
keptwtbou } { hp { rouble of herding.
Some of these would be his owp ,
and others kept for outsiders at'a
price. He expected the normal in
crease in the valms ? of laud to afT
ford him a fair speculative prollt (
which this unique arrangement of
would vastly increase. But , unfor
tunately , he Uvod too far away for
any active superintondense , and his
firfatfarm bailiff was far from being
the thoroughgoing man he should
have been , HIa hedge plant , the
Osage orange , was also an unfortu
nate choice ; It needs In Nebraska
deeper getting and more careful at
tention than it gets , and it is there
fore uni verbally a failure. Hfs hedge
throve Just sufficiently to encourage
him , ana in the end it amounted to
little or nothing. His farm and his
nursery of fruit trees did much bets
ter , but It was managed at some dis
advantage , and tbe profits cannot
have been very large. On tbe
whole , the experiment was a decided
failure Judging from obser
vation , I should say that
under like circumstances a
willow , a box-elderor a cottonwood
hedge would have thriven , hi which
case the owner would have reaped
an enormous profit from hjs invest
ment if his cattle business were
managed with reasonable discretion
and Judgment. The laud has ap
preciated in value In tbo meantime ,
and this will fortunately redeem
the iailure , and give the owner a
fair profit The peculiar circumstan
ces of this western country are such
that shrewd speculators can often
make up their books to win some
thing in any event , while if they
lose the race they lose nothing but
the fine chance they had of making
a fortune. Craig township is now
to be divided into small farms for
a colony of Bohemians , who will
have the 0,000 fruit trees as an extra
inducement , andalso building lots
in the "city " at small
, a price , the
\\hole of which is to be expended
in aflnebrick school house for then-
especial benefit. A good mill site
will become the property of a com
petent miller for nothing ; and as
the land is a deep , rich , well water
ed lacustrine , It Is to be hoped that
this colony , like the great majority
will go on and prosper.
We had suffered considerably
from the heat on our outward trip ,
but it was as a drop in the bucket to
the woe that befel us on our return
the next day. To see the country
thoroughly we took another route ,
Intending to reach a certain house
t midday , and , after rest and re-
freshment there , to drive on to Wis
ner in tbe cool shades of evening.
We drove across the prairie without
a vestige of human existence around
us for many miles ; the soil was tableland
ble-land or rolling prairie , with
some small bottoms , almost every
acre rich and lying nicely , but the
vegetation was suffering for lack of
rain. As the morning advanced the
hot wind from the south increased
in puQd and blasts as from- some
fiery furnace. By twelve o'clock
our very moderately driven horses
were panting with open mouths ,
and scarcely able to proceed at a
walk ; but they would drink very
little of the hot water from the
which was all we had for them or
for ourselves. At half-past twel s
we were by the side of an impasaa-
ble ravine , three-quarters of a mile
from our haven of rest ; we plodded
our weary way along this ravine for
miles , and finally got around and
around it , and to our much-needed
refuge , at three o'clock. Here we
found kind tricnils , an Irish family
ot'the middle class , who hospitably
entertained us , and as evening ep-
preached sent us on our way in the
best possible condition that the
circumstances allowed. A storm
came up , and cooled the air. Miles
away to the west of us we could see
the rain falling in slanting streaks ,
plainly under the influence of the
wind from the north ; miles away
to the east of us it could be seen
fulling with a reverse inclination ,
the wind being there from the south.
As we proceeded , the storm moved
around us , and partly with us ; we
seemed to be in a protected spot ,
while the distant lightning flashed
with dazzling brilliancy , and some
times simultaneously from many
points , and lit up the sharp ragged
outlines of the moving mountainous
clouds with a splendor but seldom
witnessed in tiny climate
We arrived at our destination in
safety ; but my wife , though thor
oughly protected from the sun , was
so badly burned by the mid-day
wind that the blisters have only just
disappeared , leaving their stamp be
hind them at the end of a fortnight.
It was said to be the hottest day in
the memory of the oldest inhabi-
habitant , and it was our misfortune
to have felt ( as few have need to do )
its unmitigated effects.
Tie } partnpr of ray woes was Jiora
de combat ; but I continued uiy ex
plorations the next day , which prov
ed to be a very comfortable one for
my purpose. The general result of
my investigation is eminently favor
able to the agricultural capacities of
the two counties of Cuminjr and
Stanton. 33. A. 0.
