A DISGRACE TO OMAHA.
The Omaha polica court as con
ducted under Patrick 0. Hawea is
a oi'grace to Omaha. It is not merely
a mockery &t justice , but a stain up
on the good name of thia city. In
stead of a court for the punishment
of crimesjitis a den where crime Uctni-
dnned , vice festered and honest men
aid women are made acape goats
f jr the vile piactises of the scum of
society. For months and months this
difgraceful mockery ofjustice has
bei going on in the very heart of
this city and the evil is growing
moro brazen every day. Here is a
police judge , holding court under our
charter , whose drunken debaucheries
and orgies are EO notorious that not
even the chain gang respects him.
How can a man who is an almost
nightly frequenter of gambling dens
and disorderly houses have the brazen
effrontery to ait in judgment over his
associates ? How can a man who has
been picked up and carried home
drunk time after time have the cheek
to deliver moral lectures to in
ebriates and then send ( hem to prison ?
The Omaha police court was or
ganized for the punishment of violat
ors of the city ordinances and the
money collected from fines was by law
made a contribution to the maintam-
ance of our public schools. Unlcrits
present administrationthe Omaha po
lice court is simply a drag net , where
by Pat Ha was can replenish his purse
from day to day to keep up a disgrace
ful career of debauchery. Look at the
record of that court. The fines are
trifling , compared with the largo coata
which go into the packet cf the judge.
Men charged with grava crimes , who
ought to have been bound over under
heavy bail for action of the grand
jury , were time and again allowed to
go free by paying the judge from
§ 10 to 850 as security for their
reappearonsp , which hepocketsknow-
ing the parties will never appear for
trial and the docket makes no mention
cf it. For instinco , last Sunday a
man charged with committing rape
WAS released by the judpje on pay
ing him twenty-five dollars. Of
course that man will never put in an
appearance again. We get these facts
from an cllicor of the court who vouch
es fi r the truth of the chaigc. The
recent r.tid on the gambling dens and
houses of ill-fame shows exactly what
eort of a court and judge we have.
Xobody among the large number
arrested was imprisoned for their
criminal practices or bound over to
the district court. The fines ranged
from one to three dollars , but the
costs made a very respectable pile. It
is safe to say , that every man and
woman arraigned before that * court
wasleJs guilty than the judge.
How long will this disgraceful
mockery of justice continue ? Why
can't the city council enforcejustice
in the palico court ? Why must Oma
ha tolerate such outrages ai are per
petrated under the eacrcd name d
law ? Why should the school fund be
systematically robbed ?
" \Vo concede that the social evil can
not to suppressed , but our system oi
license should not degenerate into
blackmailing nor should the money

A FELONS FREAK.
Tha pretsiidel disclosures of John
McDonald , one of the convicts of thi
whisky ring , have fallen flat. Th (
charges made in the remarkable docu
ment which he has recently published
bear too plainly on their face th
marks of falsehooddisappointed ambi
tiou and an attempt to gratify per
sonal pique. The work has beei
puffed by the democratic press fo
weeks before its publication am
prominent bourbon politicians havi
freely provided funds [ for its produc
tion as an effective campaign docu
ment. Now that the work has appcarei
it excites little comment. Thi
charges which it makes against promi
neiit government officials were suffi
ciently disproved at the time a repub
licau secretary of treasury sent theii
author to a felons cell and i
republican attorney genera
broke up the ganger which McDonah
was one of the leaders. Of Genera
Grant's connection with the rini
which was organized to swindle thi
internal revenue department , there i
not the slightest proof. Genera
Grant's conduct during McDonald'
trial and since his incarceratlo
sufficiently disproves any such SUE
picion. It is well known that sine
his trip around the world , Genera
Grant has twice refused t
speak to John McDonald , and tint h
thoroughly despises the man and hi
aisociates. The Kansas City Jbum <
says that there is a well authenticate
story of McDonald's appointmer
which lias never yet been in prim
and it shows that ho oil not hold hi
oftico through the friendship or conf
deuce of Grant , but by the earnest 11
tercassion of General Sherman , an
that the influence of General Shci
man was given to General McDonal
i& return for attentions the Sherma
family received from McDonal
on the occasion of the deat
of their idolized son. Anoti
or unpublished chaptfr in McDor
aid's history is that ho was pai
doncd from the penitentiary on th
certificate of three physicians that h
was dying ot fistula , and that his df
cease was but a matter of a few weeki
On McDonald's release from prison h
at once went Io Washington and pr
eented himself before Presides
Grant , extending his hand to take tha
of the president. President Grar
placed his hands
behind himself ac
said : "Sir , if I had not been d <
ceived , you would not be hero to ir
suit me with your presence. "
The book just published is tt
whisky thiefs revenge for the pnbli
slights which General Grant has freel
given him. It will afec
no honest and fair roinde
reider. The object for which it ws
is'.too apparent. There J3 oc
the slightest necefsity for exnlana-
tions from any of the parties referred
to by McDonald as being his copar
ceners. The thief's confession is en
tirely too full ot holes to retain water
and will probably prove a less both to
its author and to those of his bourbon
friends who have been foolish enough
to advance money in a campaign specu
lation.
MR. WEAVKH has caught a glimpse
of the true inwardness of southern
bulldozerp , and deserves full credit
for his boldness in bearding the lion
in his den. During his recent canvats
in Montgomery , Alabama , ho address
ed a largo audience and said :
When I co north I Intend f o tell
just what I have d'scovered here. 1
would rather you would send a bullet
through my body this inatant than
that I should fail to warn my country
men of the danger that threatens our
free institutions from the striking
down of the free ballot in Alabama
or elsewhere. "

"WEST POIST , August 10,188.
To the Editor of THE BEE.
There appeared in The Omaha
Herald of August 6th an article pur
porting to give an account of the or
ganization of a Garfield and Arthur
club , also that the crowd present was
composed of drinking Bohemians and
beer guzzling rppublicins. The correspondent
pendent of The Hurald is certainly not
very much acquainted in West Pointer
or he would have known that the
parties who were drank were not
Bohemians or republicansbut alot of
political shysters sampling beur ,
whiskey its. , at somebody che's ex
pense. It was generally supposed at the
time that Mr. Y\lentinehadgotup : the
whole aft'.iir to amuse the people and
keep their minds quiet , but there was
< i partial failure owing to the too
frequent uao uf stimulants by his
actora. Trt inn to throw the blame on
Bohemians , will not help the matter
any , for every one knows the average
politicians of the Valentino school ctm
gat away with more whisky than any
Bohemian in the country.
E. K. Valentine has commenced to
show his hand : he proposes to carry
on his canvass by ways that are dark
and mysterious. Ho ignores every
republican who is not a Valentine man
and it ia certain death ( in a horn ) for
a republican to say a word that is not
to Valentine's interest. He has con
trol of the county central committee
and had it convened lst Saturday in
some back alley for his especial bane-
fit. No one seems to know where the
committee met. All of the commit
tee were not notified and opjy those
known to bo favorable to V.ilentine
were nreeont. 1 understood that they
agreed to make a call for a county
convention to appoint delegates ta the
state convention n d at some future
time to make another call l-o nominate
representatives to the legislature.
They feared to make tha call openly ,
well knowing the committee would be
divided in opinion , and Mr. Valentine
and his friends bmok no opinion
agaiuet their owu. , Tha republican
paper here is run In tha interest of
Valentino , and stands ready to do his
bidding. j

he would not do it. Mr. Valentine
will find that ho and a few others arc

it and that other republicans hav <
something to say about how the partj

In the houEe he assumed and held thi

an equally brilliant figure if ho ia noi

has been my good fortune to knov
General Garfield for many years , ani
it is a pleasure to add that he it
a fine specimen of Aiuori
can character. His rise to eminence
nonce was the result of hard manua
labor in early youth , and subsequcnl
intense study and application. Alittli
after the style of President Hayes ,
Gen. Gaifield is rather reatliotic in hii
tastes , radical in politics. * * OIK

Chicago Times.
The conference which just has bee
held in New York City be .Republican
high in standing and authority ha
served to develop the spirit of th
campaign which is to ba made for th
election of Garfield and Arthur. Th
most striking feature of the meotin
was the evidence of harmony tha
prevails in the party. All shades , am
faction ; , and personal interests irei
represented by the most prominon
men , and there was on all sides a :
earuoatnesj that warrrntcd the tone o
confideuccjnrhich pervaded .ill utter
„ „ „ „ . . In this j . . . - Vir. . i
ancas. regard the 2few Yorl
conference cannot fail to make an im
pression upon the country.
The discussion at the New Yor ]
meeting took the foim of a friendl ;
interchanges of opinions relative t
the efforts that should ba made t
carry certain cf the southern states
Gentlemen from Florida and Wes
Virginia were especially earnest ii
urging that help should bo sent to th
republicans of those states , and pro
lific in promises of the best result
from any efforts that may be mad
there. Judge Sherman , of Tennessee
took a very different and seemingly
much more practical view of the case
Be said that the 138 Totes of th
south "have already been seen am
counted against the republican party.
Northern republican speakers wouli
ba received with open arms and treat
ed with great courtesy. The re
publican vote might possibl ;
be permitttd to coma out ii
force" But , after all , the 13
electoral votes promised by Wad
_ Hampton at the Cincinnati conveji
t < ; on would he counted in for
democrats. This ia the view which
.practical politicians , both north and
'south , have taken of the situation in |
the southern states during the past '
two years. It was confirmed the oth
er day by the election in Alabama.
Weaver had come north but a week
or so before , and hid given the most
glowing accounts of the prospects of
the independents and republicans actIng -
Ing together fin that state. The re
sponse came in the shape of a demo
cratic count which gave the democrats
a majority running high into the thou
sands. In one settlement ( McGhee'a
Switch ) the negroes plucked up cour
age enough to rote , and 600 ballots
were cast for the republican ticket ,
while the democrats polled only fifty.
When the votes came to be counted ,
however , there was a democratic ma
jority of 450. This tells the whole
story.
The northern leaders at the New
York conference expressed the moat
unbounded sympathy for the southern
epublicaus and the purpose of the
larty to remain true to the men who
.vow and practice republican princi-
iles at the risk of their lives and
roperty. But the prevailing senti-
nent seemed to be that the surest way
o give aid and comfort to southern
epublicans is to carry the entire
orth , and thus guarantee the con-
inuanco of republican administration ,
enator Elaine , with his usual aptitude
nd. keen political judgment , struck
he keynote of the campaign. The
rst thing to do is to carry Maine in
eptember. The second thing to do
ij to carry Indiana in October. Qbio
may safely be trusted to take care of
fself. With these preliminary suc-
: esses , New York will bo assured and
ictory practically achieved. Even
lome effort may then be made to ad-
antage in certain southern states ,
iptably Florida , Virginia , West Vir-
, inia , and North Carolina , where
lie northern successes may influence
he democratic leaders to acquiesce in
fair count ; but , without these
reliminary advantages , it will be a
.vasteful expenditure of strength to
icnd speakers and aid to the south at
he expense of a more important field.
It will ba no idle boast if the re
ublicans shaU be able to point to a
victory in Maine next month. The
democrats will not bo able to dismiss
tasa case where the "Dutch have
arried Holland. " The Mainocoalition
if democrats and greenbackers Is a
desperate one. Their conduct a year
go in counseling and sustaining ; the
3racelon fraud sufficiently revealed
heir desperation. The republicans
n Maine are B | niggling against
'anaticism , bourbanism , and vtllany
combined , and a victory in that state
under these circumstances will
be only second in Importance
to carry Indiana.
Indiana ranks as a democratic state ,
ind a republican victory in that state
n October will bo the oevcrest blow
.hat can be dealt to the democratic
parly. It will ba universally accepted
as a democratic confession of defeat.
There are certain circumstances which
are very encouraging to republican
. ictory in Indiana. The reritblieanfi
have one of the ablest and strongest
lien in the state as their candidate for
; overnor ; the demor-rats lave ono of
-ho - weakest and most vacillating of
demagogues at the head of their
icket. The defeat of Hondricka for
he presidential nomination an'l tha
selection of English as the candidate
"or vice-president have combined
to create discontent among the
democratic loaders , many of whom
would nol iii their hearts lament a
democratic defeat very sorely. The
judicial rejection of the constitutional
amendments which had been adopted
by the people was a partisan trick that
inflicts serious cost Upon the tax
payers of Indiana , and has rixcited
bitter resentment among the people.
This circumstance will assist in securing
to the republican party the Gorman
vote and the independent vote , and
thus reduce the majority in demo
cratic counMiai a ratR < nJ * RiHltoly :
to vWlpe out the Sooo democratic ma
jority in the stntn for years. Repub
lican success in Ohio seems to bo ad
mitted on all sides , but an unusually
lar e majority there will servo to in
crease the influence of the October
electionsj
These various conditions render the
plan of campaign suggested by Sen
ator Elaine perfectly obvious , and any
departure therefrom to suit personal
or sectional interests will bo short
sighted , and perhaps perilous. There
arethree _ distinct efforts to be made ,
which should occur in the following
order : (1) ( ) To carry Maine in Sep
tember agiinst the combined demo
crats and greeubackers ; (2) ( ) to carry
Indiana , , which the democrats claim to
beademocraticstate.in Octoberand in
crease the republican majority in
Onio ; and (3) ( ) with these advantages ,
to cirry New York in November , and
possibly certain congressional districts
and one or two state * in the south.
There is no reason for any conceal
ment ns to the plans of the campaign.
The struggle Is necessarily concentra
ted on both sides. The democrats will
certainly direct their ttention mainly
to the preliminary elections , and il
will be folly for the republicans tc
scatter their forces.
No Chance in the South.
Washington Cor. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
In fact there is very little hope ol
raising np any opposition to the denv
ocr.Vs in the South at the present
time. When the new apportionment
changes the representation in con'
grecs , and places the democrats in a
powerless minorlytho southern ques
tion will settle itself , but the bourbons
bens will fight to the bitter end this
ycar.for they know it is the last ditch
It is for thia reason tha ) the mosl
cautious of republicans do not plic (
trust in the reports that the republt
cans have any prospects in any of tin
southern states. In Virginia , Nortl
Caroline and Florida , there appear )
to be some clnnccs of getting ou' '
the republican vote and in securing ;
fair count , but it is believed by experi
cnced observers here that more des
perate efforts will be made in thi
south to smother the republican vet <
this year than they wore in 187:5. Thi
exhibition made in Alabama ' n Mon
day , where bulldozing and ballot-bo :
stuffing was indulged in , though thi
republicans offered little or no oppo
sition , seems to show that there is ai
understanding to give the republican
throughout the south notice that the ;
must keep their hands off that th'
south must be kept democratic. Thi
proceedings there on Monday begii
to convince many men who thought :
wedge m'ght be got in the solid soutl
ibis year , that the task is hopeless
and that the old rebels propose i

Among the more successful farmers of
this precinct are the following :
J. F. Shebell , who , besides a timber
claim , has a splendid farm of 320 acrea
within one and a half milea from town.
In Gve years Mr. Shebsll has redeemed
250 acres of his farm from the raw
prairie and covered it with fruits of
all kindsgroves and hedges and fifteen
acres of timothy and clover. His
corn ia hard to beat , and small graina
are all now harvested in tip-top shape.
Think of 250 acres reclaimed from a
state of nature and covered with splen
did crocs , all within five year In
Michigan or Ohio it would have taken
five yeara to subdue as many acres.
Young man come west.
/ L. Bass is another success. Less
than four years ago Mr B. took in
hand 320&cres of prairie of which he
"has" brougW undeii cultivation 240
acres , and on it he has 180 acres of
corn and 40 acres of wheat. Lie has
also 70 head of cattle , 300 hogs and
11 horses. Besidco all thia Mr. Bass
has a thrifty orchard under way , all
the small fruits and no end of trees and
hedges. A good largo dwelling or

furm. . The above are fair specimens
of what Nebraska ia capable of in the
hands of men who reads this paper.
Robert Sandshailing from Scotia , i.s
another successful mail. His farm A
320 acres lirs a mile from Friend and
will compose favorably with any simi
lar tract that has been but five years
in hand. Mr. Sinds has built him a
laige and well ordered house , and is
fairly overwhelmed with euch crops
and herds.
11. S. Burkey , three or four years
from the Dominion , has also 320 acres
under cultivation , and by attention to
stock and judicion management is
amassing a fortune.
\Vajklin , has 1MO acres in hia
farm which he liomeateadcd eleven
years ago on Johnson's Creek. Ono
hundred and fifty acres are under cul
tivation and in splendid crops to-day.
These are but specimens of miriads

Mr. Doyle has just wired ir
1GO acred in a very substantial manner -
ner at a cost of § 1000. The editor oi
The Now Orleans Picayune said he
met the handsomest woman ho evei
oaw sitting on a fence in Mexico. Youi
correspondent has matched him with
one to carry. Mary Eina Doyle 'i '
not only a very handsome maiden , bui
very accomplished as a student of th
Convent of the Sacred Heart at Nebraska
braska City. She did not appear lesi
graceful because , though a democrat
eho subscribed for THE BEK.
By the way , permit me to recort
that many democrats take THE BEE o
mo , and I learned as an encouraging
fact that a great many domocra's ii
the county take papers on both side ,
of the houso. It means thrtthe tinn
is coming when "tho machine" wil
have lest its power , and primaries wil
not elect their candidates , nor conven

Democracy and Republicanism.
John A. Logan ,
After twenty years of democrat ;
rule a loan of $18,000,000 exhauatei
the market for six months.
After republican rule for twent ;
'
years a loan of 8150,000,000 wa ? take'
in a single day.
In twenty yeara we find an increas
of population of 50 per cent.
An increase of agricultural export
of COO per cent.
An increase in exports of bread au <
breadstuGs of 050 per cent.
An increase of internal commerc
of 700 per cent.
An increase in railways from 31,00
to over 82,000 miles.
Our foreign trade has increase
from $700,000,000 to S1,150COOOOC
Our exports , which were § 20,000 ,
000 less than our imports in 1SCC
were ? 2G4,000,000 more than our im
ports in 18G9.
The republican party since the wa
closed , besides paying the expences c
thegoverument , includincS30,000.00
of pensions , has paid § 888,000,000 c
the public debt , which was created b
the very men who are now trying t
elect Handock , and reduced th
annual interest from § 151,000,000 t
§ 39,000,000.
No government is in better condi
tion or has a better credit. The pec
pie are prosperous everywhere , labo
is rewarded , our manufacturers ii
creasing , our commerce growing. Th
people ought to be a happy people an
satisfied with the present condition c
tnings. The
democracy kept you
pathway strewn with thorns and thi ;
i ties. The republicans have plucke
the thorns and thistles and hav
planted flowers there. Be careful nc
to pluck out the flowers and replae
the thistles and thorns.
