that lately the people of Ireland have
given no cauee for complaint in this
Articular.
is the cause of this sudden
freak of economy on the part of the
editor of the Herald ? In whose wood-
pl'oib the nigger concealed ? It sounds
more than strange to hear an editor ,
wlo has advocated every previous' '
bonding proposition laid before the
people of Omaha , now reckoning up
the profit and loss account on such au
important enterprise as the building
of a new court house for a growing
ana thriving city'liko Omaha.
THE BLAUK HILLS.
Amid the rise and fall of other min
ing camps in the west , the 33Iack
Hilh haa pursued its course of steady
and through development with a
regularity which haa been in strong
contrast to the feverish excitement
anl subsequent collapse which has
marked the history of more recent
and loudly pulled mining districts.
The year which is closing his been
one of general prosperity to the camps
of the Dakota Eldorado. The work
of development In the various mines
has heen greater than in any prcci dIng -
Ing year in its history. Thousands of
dollars have been expended carefully
and judiciously in theercction of mills ,
hoi'ting works end water privileges.
Expensive law nuits between conflict
ing claims bavo been settled , the
wild-cat clement has almost entirely
ditvpearcd from operations of the
mining companies , and speculation
han given way to legitimate business
transactions , iu which swindling
stockholders has yielded to an earn
est dcsiro to make the Hrgest profits
in the safest manner. The result is
aeon in the heavy dividends which
the principal companies have declared
du-irg the year to their stockholders ,
no * withstanding the extensive exploi
tations made in the different proper
ties. The Homcutako company dur
ing the [ past year has paid in divi
dends 8420,000 , and previous to that
date $210,000 the Decdn-ood
, , ; com
pany have paid during 1 he year , 8300 , .
000 ; the Father DeSmot , § 240.000 ;
the G Men Terra , § 75,000 ; the Great
Eastern , § 10,000 , and other lees de
veloped mines in proportion.
Deadwood has risen from the ashes of
her great conflagration and substan
tial fireproofs fill the places oi the old
lihantics which lined the sides of the
gulch. Two railroads heading toward
the Hills have brought in many new
faces and a large amount o capital to
otill further develop the resources of
the country. Farms are springing up
everywhere in the valleys , grist mills
already supply the Black Hills with an
abundance of food , and thousands of
cattle are grazing ia the adjs.cont
rargcs.
The mining interests of the Hills
are on a better and safer basis than
ever before , a d the showing of the
mines for the next twelve months will
be even bettor than for the past year.
The Black Hills Times in
says , speak
ing of ths future
prospects of the re
gion : Dividends arc paid after cur-
Mat expanse * , and the tons of thou
sand * of dollars that have been ex
pended during the last year will not
hive to bo done over again , and each
one of which adds to the wealth of the
company and tends to the increase of
Ihe output of bullion. And again ,
during the past year the milling
from our mines has been principally f
from the surface and from cxten-
B.VO tunnels , in which it was cheaper
to mill the waste in many instances
than to get rid of it in any other way.
In many of these'mines there has been
work done in the
of
way
_ pros-
Jnwhiohtnou-
binds of dollars hare been expended ,
nnd which has shown up the location
nud extent of iho ere bodies and will
n it have to bo done again , and gives
them a thorough knowledge of their
properties. None of these mines are
more than prospected at this datcand
it cm bo truly said that they have
t nly just commenced working them.
INCREASED POJsTAIi FACILITIES.
Fostnmter-Gcncral Maynard , In
Ins annual report , appeals to congress
f > r an Increased npproprlation for the
p stal service. It is to be hoped that
tuc request will meet with a more lib
eral response than that of the pro
filing year. Our postal service
iaroujjhout the whole of the western
country , where offices are far apart
aad stage routes long , isssdly lacking
inefficiency , andcrippledby insufficient
means for iU proper extant : -o. The
constant increase of small settle
ments In remotn portions of the front--
i ir creates 5 ned for postal commun *
ictttons which it is the im-
) > * rative duty of the post-
I'tfice department to supply. It is due
to the shifting of population , to con-
B ant immigration and to the incrette
< small settlements that the star
r iu e service has proved Insufficient.
Uitlcrn people , who examine with eur-
l -i o the estimates for the postal str-
* < ce in the -western elites and tcrri-
t -res , have little idea of the distances "
t avelod or the inconvenience attend ?
tng the transportation of the malls
across the mountains and plains of the
great traDB-BIhsonr : country. Many
ot our senators and representatives
seem equally ignorant of the subject.
A little geographical study and an ex-
fimina'.aa cf the census tables would
soonjshow snch doubters that the con
ditions , cast and -west , are widely dif
ferent , and that hevryexpendituresaro
requisite to give any postal facilities
to the people of the far west at all
adequate to the wants of trade and
the development of the country.
Nebraska IB in many respects better
supplied than many of her nelghbore.
Her postal facilities are yet sadly lack
ing. It WES uot until a few months
ago that the South Platte country en
joyed a postal car service and received
their mail with anything like regular
ity and dispatch. Even as it is , con
stant complaints come into this office
of delays m the mails/which can find
no excuse in the state of the weather
or the condition of the railroads.
The government should care
fully examine the manner in which
the corporations who ara paid
for transporting the mails carry
oat their part of the bargain. The
Union Pacific road is chronically
deficient in this respect , and scarcely
a , day passes in which their east
boand trains are not delayed from
two to four hours , much to the incon
venience and loss of Omaha mer
chants. The facilitips for the dispatch
cf the eastern mails from this point
might also be greatly improved were
the force of our postoffica Euffieient to
deal with the constant increase of our
postal business.
It is to bo earnestly hoped that
western senators and representatives
will urge upon congress a liberal and
ample appropriation both for the im
provement of our present mail service
and the increase of postal facilities
throughout the weit. Penuriousness
in this department of the government
is worse than foolish , it is suicidal.

St. Nicholas for December will be
a surprise to its young readers. Spec
ial effort has been made to glorify the
Christmas season , and 35,000 extra
copies ( making an addition of 105,000) )
uro being published to meet the an
ticipated orders from Santa Ulaus.
The new decoration for the cover will
be wintry and spirited. Among the
greatly yaried and profusely illustrat
ed contents will be an operetta.for
young peopls called "The Land of
Nod , " In which six little sleepy-heads
visit the marvelous place and see many
wondera. The libretto is musical and
vivacious verso , and the music is by
Mr. Anthony Reiff and Mr. W. F.
Sherwin. Mr. Frank R. Stockton
will contribute one of his droll and
quaint fairy stories , and Mr. Wash
ington Gladden describes "A Christ
mas Dinner with the Man in the
Moon. " A new feature of St. Nich
olas will ba begun. It is a''Treasure-
box of Literature , " whose value and
purposes arc indicated by the hrst con
tents , which will bo reprints of Na
thaniel Hawthorne's fantasy , "David
Swan , " and Ihackeray's poem , "King
Canute. " Both are to be illustrated.
A SIGNIFICANT article by the Hon.
George S. Boutwoll In the North Am
erican Review for December , entitled
"The Future of the Republican
Party , " is sure to arrest public attenC
tion. Written after the result of the
recent elections had been ascertained ,
this article defines the position -which
the republican party is , in logic and
in policy , bound to assume toward the
southern states. Concession , compro
mise , conciliation , the author says in
substance , will no longer be tolerated.
No person is to bo admitted to a seat
in the senate , unless the record of his
election is clear. New laws are to be
passed for the Bupervislon nd protec
tion of the ballots in the elections of
members of the house of representa
tives and presidential electors. The
civil magistrates must have the means
within call ( the army ) of protecting
the ballot and keeping the peace.
The United States must insure to
the people of each state a truly re
publican form of government. No
grants will be made for internal im
provements in any southern state
where the equality of all men before
the law is not a living , practical fact.

"Coburgers. "
New Tork Herald.
A Washington correspondent says
that a Large number of applications
have been filed at the war department
for tbe appointment of chief signal
officer of the army , made vacant by
the death of General Myer. Amen
these candidates are Colonel Carrie
Mallory , General Miles and General
Hazen , and "it is believed that one
of the three officers named will receive
the appointment. "
The army and navy people have a
word to describe officers who , among
other gifts , have "sisters and cousins
and aunts , " and who , by the aid of
these amiable relatives are kept in
snug and cosy places. These officers
are called , "Cobuners , " because they
resemble the princes of the royal
house of Cdburg , who are made ad
mirals and captains and field marshals
with gratifying rapidity.
Now , oin anybody tell us whether
Col. Mallory , Gen. Miles and Gen.
Hazen are Cobnrgeis ? What is their
record in tbe army ? Have they , like
Sheridan and Grant , remained at ex
posed western points while more fa
vored officer * are coddled and nursed
at Washington ? Have they any rela
tives in public life ? Have they in
fested the departments to beg for pro
motions ? The country will think
better of the appointment to direct
this important bureau if it Is founa
npon investigation that he ia not a
Coburger.
President Hsyes haa not been un
kind to the Coburqera , ' if all the rn
mora from Washington are true. We
trust he will thow what Mr. Schurz
calls his "amiable obstinacy" in deal
ing with the " sisters and cousins and
aunts , " and , throwing aside the Co-
burners , appoint a meritorious officer
like Lieutenant Schwatka.

THE JIODEHN "JUNIUS"
He Whom Old Tar-Heels of
Beatrioa Threatens With
Deslruotion ,
The "Watchman's" Honest
Bark Proved a Prelude
to the Bite.
The Charges of Mr. Morris Veri
fied by the Kecord.
Senator Saunders' Quietus.
Correspondence oi The Bee
WASHINGTON , November 20 1 see
from your papers that you are having
a modern version of the old question ,
"Who was Junius. " I happen to
know who your "Jumna" is , and , at
I received it under no seal of confi
dence , I break none in'saying that
"Junius" is Mr. James Morris , of
our city. I have read his letters In
The Watchman , and they prove aim
to be a strong and conscientious
writer , whom I should much prefer to
have as an advocate than as an oppo-
nent. I hava not only read them ,
but compared tlm : pretty thoroughly
with the "record" and find his state
ments fully substantiated in every in
stance.
Senator Saunders I see is held by
The Republican as responsible for
these letters of "Junius. " I also
happen to know , of a certainty , that
the letters were net begun till weeks
after Senator Saunders , had left
Washington , and that henever siw
them until their publication in The
Watchman. Senator Saunders then
wrote to Mr. Morris on some business
matters of his own , and took occasion
to say , "if you wish any advice of
mine in regard to your letters to Tne
Watchman , is that yon abstain from
saying anything againstmy colleague. "
So you see , so far from the reflections
of The Republican upon Senator
Saunders being deserved , he is
entitled to the thanks of his colle&gne
for the abrupt termination of a series ,
the last of which might prove infin
itely more damaging to Mr. Paddock
than the first , for Mr. Morris res
pected the s yice and wrote no
more.
more.Mr.
Mr. Morris clalps the right In com
mon with every citizen of his state to
express his opinion of men who aspire
for office , and ho is opposed to Senator
Paddock , beciuaa be believes that he
is not now a true republican , and
never haa been , and cites the facts
that Mr. Paddock once ran for office
upon the democratic ticket with J.
Sterling Morton and others of that-
stamp ; that he was elected to congress
by democratic votes upon the under
standing that ho would favor the dem
ocratic parly , as often charged by
Tne Omaha Herald , and never de
nied ; that he reiused to vote against
pensioning Jeff Davit , and did vote
for thoappointmcntcf u rebel to office.
Ho is opposed to Senator Paddock
because he thinks Nebraska , with its
half million of people , is entitled to
the services of an ablir { man , and
wishes Nebraska to eanilnte Iowa ,
which puts its best nun in the front ,
us it has just done in recalling Kasaon
from hit post as U. S. muiHter at the
court of Yienna , that he might re
sume his seat in thu house oi repre
sentatives.
He is opposed to Senator Paddock
for some of his hasty and ill-advised
nets , chief of which ia his recent de
mand for the soldiery to threaten
with bayonets and bullets the peace
able , hard working , laboring men of
Omaha.
For expressing tl-.cja opinions I hap
pen to know that S.-nator Paddock has
sent Mr. Morris a Mkr which can
only be regarded ssa threat , and which
interpreted by The Republican
ineana dismissal from office. For ex
ercising the rights of a freeman he is
to be deprived of the means of win
ning bread for himself and family.
It this can be done In the republican
state of Nebraska , then office holders ,
however corrupt and incompelentwill
enjoy a life lease of power , aud any
who seek reform will suffer persecution
for their reward.
Since these letters of "Jirniug , "
through the attacks upon him , have
obtained a notoriety they would not
otherwise have gained , and as many
overlooked them at the time of publi
cation , allow me to suggest that THE
BEE , or some other widely circulated
paper , republish them , or the second
and last , at least , BO that the people
may be able to judge for themselves
of their merit , and that each repre
sentative , who will have to vote for
United States senator this winter ,
may study Senator Paddock's record
aa shown by The Congressional
Record , and act upon his own calm
and deliberate judgment.

trict Out of Their

Beastly Bulldozing Resorted

Arapatoe Pioneer.
To cast bis ballot as he chooses , for
whom he will , and have it it counted ,
has been the pride of the republican
patty of the north , and it has always
endeavored to reach this end , and
while the republican party Is not re
sponsible for every canvassing board ,
it reacts against the party , and its
members , having the best interests of
the party at heart , will not stoop to
trickery to squeeze its candidates
through. To say the republican rings
at North Flatte and Sidney have
stooped to trickery , not trickery
alone , but crime , in falsifying re
turns , in betraying their sworn duty
to canvass the returns impartially , we
apeak the truth , and can prove our as
sertions. The counties : omprising

Giving Bhlleiitiue a plurality of six

vassing board must ring in Sioux
county with 414 votes , which is not in
the district , in order to elest their
capper , Henry Snyder. Maybe the
canvassing board have the right to
bring Sioux county into this district ,
but our state legislature , wisely fore
seeing what a dishonest beard might
do , provides in article 3 , section 2 ,
which says :
"The legislature shall provide by
hw after 1885 and every ten years
thereafter , and alter its first regular
session after each enumeration made
by authority of the United States ,
but at no other time the legislature
can change the senatorial and repre
sentative districts. "
In the minds of all candid men the
fact of Ballentine's election is settled ,
but the bold manner in which the
canvassers , backed by the political
prostitutes of the Pbtto Ring , are
playing , . . - . . - their . hand , . , . , . . will , give Snyder
lra8tiDg the
contesting his seat , or a biased legislature -
lature may give him a stolen seat in

and the
theSEAT
SEAT WILL BE CONTESTED ,
and if Ballentine haa not the neces
sary means"to prosecute his suit every
honest man and .champion of fair
play in western Nebraska will assist
and unseat a usurper. It Is a matter
of principle , and the grist will be
ground fiue ; not a guilty man shall es
cape. The gauntlet is thrown down
and it will be picked up. The ball
will open , and The Pioneer show up
the principal dancers , who will pay
for their music. Had Ballentine been
defeated we would say nothing , but
as he is elected we propose to assist
in seating him.
COUNTED OUT AT LABT. ,
Fnraai County Beouolicsn.
NORTH PIATTE , November 12 ,
1880. The official canvass of the 26th
senatorial district gives Snyder 1807 ,
Ballentino 1389 , Crutcher 88L [ BEE.
The same canvassing board also
made returns that Carrigan , the U. P.
candidate for representative from the
46th district , was elected over Judge
Diiley by a majority of five. An
honest count of the returns of the va
rious counties would have given Mr.
Dalley a majority of 100 and Mr.
Ballentine a majority of 93 , thus giv
ing to the candidates from the Repub
lican valley the certificates of election.
But by a fraudulent change in the re
turns from Cheyenne county both the
U. P. candidates were counted in and
the will of the people defeated.
The question new before us is , will
the people submit to this fraud and be
robbed of the right of free represen
tation in our state legislature ? It is
a grave question and one that should
be met and answered with all our en
ergy and determination in the nega
tive. Such returns should be con
tested to the bitter end. Can wo cjll
ourselves a free people if we allow
such a crime to RO unpunished ? We
believe that justice could be ob
tained at the hand of our supreme
court , and to that court our people
should take their appeal. There
should be no giving wry to a wrorg
that is sure to result in the downfall
of all political lib'erty. Of what ad
vantage is it to a man to have the
right to cast his ballot and be pro
tected in so doing , if the object and
designed effect of that ballot is to be
swept away by a false and fraudulent
count ? It isworse than the "bull
dozing" plan of the south , because
It ia moro mean and cowardly. I
would have twice the respect for the
man who walks boldly up and de
mands my purse than for him who
steals it without ray knowledge. " Dis
honesty has characterized the Platta
valley from the beginning to Ihe end
of the canvass , and the tools of the
U. P. monopoly have used every
means to defeat the will of the pee
ple. Neither of the political parties
are responsible for What has been
done. "Tis the power of money
wielded by the great corporation. We
are opposed to monopoly rule in poli
tics , and therefore we call upon our
people to resist thin encroachment
upon their rights.
There is not a farm , I believe , in
our neighborhood where a bottle of
Hamburg Drops can not be found ; for
chilh and fevers are very prevalent
with us. But the folks know well
that if they only use Hamburg Drops
in j good time they can save many a
doctor's bill.
