THE Chinese restriction law has proved
a heavy blow to the missionary cause in

Mission of the latter city , but they wore
not allowed to land , as they wore not

TUB embargo on foreign rags , owing to
the cholera , has caused a material ad

during the existence of the cholera than
it would bo to take any chances of Introducing -
ducing the plaque into this country
through imported rags , which are a pro-
life source of the spread of such opidom-
ion. Every precaution ooght to bo taken
until the cholera completely disappears.

NEW YOHK STATE.
The chief struggle of the president ! )
campaign is now going on in New Yor
etoto. The Kmpiro state trill probabl
decide the election. Cleveland will hav
to carry it in order to bo elected , whil
on the other hand it has been figured 01
that Ulsino can potsibly bo elected will
out it. In view of the Important poeitio
now held by that etato in the prsser
contest , it will bo interesting to rovio
the history of New York in the prcsidon
ial campaigns for the past forty yean
Prior to the year 1828 the president ! )
electors were appointed by the Icgisli
lure , but since that time they have boc
chosen by popular vote. Up to 1840 th
people elected democratic candidates , I
1810 , General Damson , the rrhig cand
date for president , received in that state
majority of 10,500 over his opponontt
Martin Van Duron , thn democratic car
didato , and James G. Birney , the car
didalo of the liberty party. In 18E
James K. Polk , candidate of the dome
craUi , received 237,088 votcn , whil
Henry Clay , whig , and Birney , of th
liberty party , received 248,291 votci
the majority over Polk being 10,70 (
General Hichary Taylor , the standar
bearer of the whigs , carried Now York i
1818 over Lewis Cass , democrat , an
Van Buron , free soilor. The democrat
in 1852 gave Franklin Pierce ft majorit
of 1,872 , over Winfiold Scott , whig , an
John P. Halo , free democrat. It wo
at this point in the political history o
the United States that the ropublicai
party came into existence , and took th
place of the whigs. General Fremont
the first presidential candidate of the republican
publican party , received 40 3 per cent o
the popular vote of Now York , Fillmore
the American candidate , 20.0 per cent
and Buchanan , democrat , 33.8 per cent
Lincoln carried Now York in I860 b1
50,130 majority Bia small majority li
1804 of 0,740 is accounted for by th
fact that a largo number of republican
were absent in the army. Seymour ob
tained n majority of 10,000 ever Gran
in 18G8 * by moans of frauds , but in 187 :
Grant carried Now York by 51,800 majo
rity. Again in 1870 the democrats rosortoi
to all sorts of fraud in ov ry part of tin
state , and Tildon was thus enabled to so
euro a majority of 20,508 ever Hayes
Garfield carried Now York in 1880 bj
21,033 majority ever Hancock. That the
domocratn will make every effort within
their power to carry the state of Non
York , and if necessary resort to thoii
old methods of fraud , there- no doubt ,
They are rendered desperate by the
knowledge that Cleveland must have Now
York in order to win. The rppublicanj
aio aware of this fact , and are according
ly alive to the situation. The olcctbn in
that stnto will unquestionably bo very
close , but so far the prospects are very
encouraging for the republicans.
AUTOMATIC COUPLERS.
Moro accidents occur among railroad
freight brakemen than among any othoi
class of railroad employes. Owing to the
dangers of the present system of coupling
they are constantly exposed to risks ol
limb ami life. Numerous efforts have
boon made by inventors to produce nn
tutomatio car coupler , but owing to the
jxponso that would nocoosarily follow the
replacing of the old link and pin coupler
nrith an automatio contrivance the rail
road companies have been very slow to
idopt or oven to oucourago such a do-
ilrablo improvement. Wo believe , how-
ivor , that in some few states the
egislaturca have passed a law mak-
ng it compulsory to provide
roight cars with automatic couplers. Mr.
? otor A. Doy , formerly chief engineer of
ho Union Pacific , and now a member of
ho Iowa railroad commission , recently
rituesBod n test of car couplers in Boston ,
.nd expresses his opinion to the effect
hat the question of coup-
ing railroad cars without the aid of hu.
nan hands is practically solved , and the
nilroad company which neglects or ro
uses to avail itself of tlio appliances al-
oady demonstrated to bo successful with-
ut n doubt , to prevent the fearful loss
f life and the mangling of bodies of cm-
loyos , is culpably if not criminally
uilty. Mr. Doy says , as a member of
iio Iowa railroad commission , that the
igialaturo can control this matter. The
gislaturo of Massachusetts by legal on-
ctmont directed the railroad caramls-
oners of that state to select and adopt
jmo plan for coupling cars without hu-
tan agency , and such plan , when do-
idod upon , mutt bo adopted and used
a all railroads operated In Massaahu-
( Its. At the recent exhibition of coup ,
rs in Boston there were present several
undrod persons , representing many of
10 loading railroads hi the country , to-
sther with railroad commissioners and
ivontors. A practical test was made
ith about a dozen couplers , out of the
.rgo number on exhibition. They were
isted In every possible manner , nnd some
f them proved quite successful. Mr.
ley is satisfied that the coupler that will
0 adopted will bo upon the same goner.
1 principle of the well-known Miller
oupllng which is in use on patsengor
caches That was the idea shown
n all the best couplers exhibited. The
lassachusotts commissioners have taken
lie matter under advijomont and their
ecisioa will bo looked forward to with
great deal of interest. Other states
ro bound to take stops In the same
iroctioii , and thoNobratka legislature at
Iio next session
ought to pass
iw compelling every railroad
ompany In this state to
pply some approved automatic coupler
nil their freight oars. There is tome
anger of n monopoly being crested In
ivor of some particular coupler , but un >
or the circumstances this would bo lot-
> r than to allow the s&criOco of limb nnd
fu to continue any longer. The mouop.
ly , however , can bu avoided by rtquir-
ig that couplers usud by npy railroad
must comply with the provisions of law
and In this way the choice will bo Icf
open among all couplers that are up t
the standard.
WEAVER AND VANWYOK.
E Itosewalor , Editor UEE.
Dr.An Sm : Will you bo peed enough t
explain wlmt mnko * you think that
man Weaver cxnnnl l > o triKloi ) , And why d
you Intlniftto that ho intend * to npposi Voi
Wyck's ro-cleclionT Many of jour mbicrllwr
nro indited to support Wonvfr because Vni
Wyck sponks well ot him. Ycmrn ,
Gr.OWlESEOKI.KE.
My opinion about Congressman Weave
is baaed on personal knowledge of hi
duplicity and lack of integrity and prin
plo. When ho was nominated for cong
ress two yoara ago , I was disposed ti
regard him an an able , fear
less and reliable man. I havi
boon sadly undeceived since then
While Van Wyck rolion on Weaver"
assurances of friendship I happen t <
know that Weaver stands ready to slo ;
Van Wyck just as soon as ho and hi
political confederates can do so with safe
ty to themselves. During the last scna
iorial contest Weaver was down at Lin
caln pretending to work for the oloctioi
of General Thayor. As a matter of fac
ho was playing a deep game of treachery
Ho was for Thayer with Thaycr men fo :
Joe Millard with Mlllard men fo :
Mandcrson with Maudorson men and al
the time plotting for himself. Ho htu
the Illchardson county delegation parkcc
out in throe camps , while ho kept hii
own name before the ogislaturo througl
moro than ton ballots. That voti
was castbyChapin of Franklin countj
who donbtloes understood the scheme.
Weaver's most intimate associate in tha
plot was George W. Post , of York , thor
a district judge. My own preference
among straight republicans was Genera !
Thayor. Weaver and Pont kept up thoii
masquerade as Thayer men until a certain
tain day when Post called mo Into one
of the dark rooms at the Commercial ho
tel and proposed that I should turn in tc
elect Weaver by throwing the antimonopoly
nopoly vote to him.
I realized at once that Thayer was sold
out and Van Wyck was to bo slaughtered
before his term had expired. Woavor'e
election meant Van \Yyck's political bur
ial. I promptly warned General Thayoi
and the other senatorial candidates and
the Weaver boom collapsed.
But Weaver and Post finally succeeded
in throwing Thayor'a support to Mander-
son. General Thayer and myself were
both assured by Weaver and Man-
dorson that Thayer should receive
the most lucrative position at
their disposal , which was the
revenue collectorship. No sooner had
Mandorson and Weaver taken their
goats than Post was appointed collector
and Thayer was offered the Grand
Island postofllco , which the general ,
poor as ho ia declined with thanks.
That the political firm of Weaver , Post
& Mandorson are woldcd together for
the defeat of Van Wyck , I am just aa
firmly convinced aa I am that the
earth revolves around the sun.
Weaver's utter lack of principle was
shown during the session of the republi
can state convention. Mr. Jensen of
Fairmont , ono of his most Intimate
friends called at my office with an urgent
request from Weaver for an interview.
I called upon Weaver at the Paxton
house.
Ho declared Dawes was involved in the
school land swindle and proposed to
throw him overboard , intimating that my
support of himself would bo very desira
ble. I told him whllo I regarded the
nomination of Dawcs aa very objectiona
ble , it was a matter in which I could
lot trade. The next day Weaver , who
ras n delegate , voted to nominate
Dawos by acclamation.
I might , were I disposed relate other
acts discreditable to Weaver but it scorns
o mo I have said enough to justify my
ipposition an convince any unbmnod
nan that no true friend of Senator yap
Vyck , and especially no man who dosiios
OBond an honest and reliable man to
oiiarosB from this district , can vote for
L. J. Weaver. E. ROSUVTATKK.
EDISON , the famous electrical inventor ,
'hilo acting as a train dispatcher , at a
mall station nn the Grand Trunk road
i Canada , twenty-two years ago , made
mistake which caused a serious accident
nd for this carelessness ho was diecharg-
i , and the balance of his wages ,
mounting to $20 05was confiscated. His
ithor , Samuel EJison , of Fort Grutiot ,
lioh. , immediately protested against the
; tion of the Grand Trunk railway , and
is ever since , at regular intervals , made
alma against the company , alleging that
is son was illegally dismissed , and that
i ho was at the time a minor , the bal-
.ico duo ia payable to the father. A few
iys ago Mr. Edison , senior , sgaiu ad-
resaod a letter to the general manager
f the road , in which ho expresses the
ope that legal proceedings may bo
roldod by a speedy sottlsmont of the
aim. The letter goes'on to say that
10 claim is not pressed for the few paltry
ollara at stake , but in order that an act
f strict justice may bo done and his
) n's character vindicated , It is under-
teed that the general manager of the
end has given instructions to
ave the claim looked into , and if it is
astainod , to have it Immediately liq *
[ dated with interest to date.

LAIRD'S ROORBACK ,
A Bombshell tbat Will Not Explode ,
Torrlblo Tilings About Onptnl
Stlokcl.
Delegates to the anti-monopoly convention
vontion which mot at Hastings in Scj
tcmber to nominate n congressman fc
the second congressional district wi
doubtless remember that a gang of > Jit
Laird's strikers was on the ground tryln
their level best to prevent Stlckols uomi
nation. A few hours before the convcr
tion mot a report was circulated thn
Stickol wns a voiy bad man. A lay we
by the name of Knight who lives a
Hebron was said to have affidavits in hi
possession showing Stickol to have dc
frnudcd n poor widow down In Misooui
out of a largo sum with which ho dc
camped to Nebratka. It wa also re
ported that Stickcl had been Indicted to
embezzling the widow's money , &c
These reports created considerable tal
among delegates and finally Mr. Blickc
was called on in the presence of Mt
Wells , editor of the Oroto Vidcttc , Mi
E. Rosovrator of the BEE , and a numbo
of delegates to toll what there was of th
reports. Mr. Stickol pronounce th
whole story about alleged ombezzlomon
as falso. The only foundation for it wa
yraa that ho had borrowed about $2,00' '
from a lady down In Missouri , and 'wa
gradually paying oil the dobt. Ho hai
several letters from the party showlnj
that she wau neither defrauded or 1m
posed on but seemed satisfied will
Captain Stickol's course.
Later on , after Captain Stickol hai
been nominated , Mr. Knight , the mai
wno was charged with originating then
reports , called upon the editor of Till
BEB and publicly pronounced the stor
as baseless so far as ho was conconiod
Ho said ho lived in Thayer county am
had never hoard anything derogatory ti
Stickols character.
And now wo learn that Laird and hit
strikers propose to throw a terrible bomb
shell into the anti-monopoly camp In thi
shape of some affidavits and pretended
records which charge Stickle with noarlj
every crime in the calendar ,
This bombshell ia to bo fired promised
ouely within a few days among the gulli <
bio grangorsand Stickol will bo squolchec
providingalwaystho terrible revelation :
can bo kept back long enough to provonl
Stlckel and his supporters from refuting
Laird's roor-backs. It remains to be
soon whether Laird's dynamite bombshell
don't explode ever his own head.
The following letter from Capt. Stickc
speaks for itself :

Proceeding * ol' tlio North Nebraska
Conference Kilucaliniinl Commis
sion ,
The educational commission appointed
at the last session of the North Nebaraka
conference , held at Blair , Neb , , and con
sisting of the following members : Revs.

J. L. St. Olalr , Wm. Morley , J. B.

Neb , October 7th , at 3 p. m. All com
mittee present except J. Fowler.
The sesnion was opened by prayer from
D. Harquatto , and N. H. Gale was elec
ted secretary pro-torn. The commission
then proceeded to ballot for chairman
and other officers. Rev. Dr. MaxGeld
was elected chairman , N. H. Gale , secretary
tary , and D. Harquotte for treasurer.
Conference resolutions ordering th
commission were road.
Moved by W. M. Morley that any bid
for the seminary , in order to secure the
action of the commission , must not bo
lees than twenty thousand dollars ( § 20-
000) ) in cash , or its equivalent in endow
ment , buildings or lands , subject to the
approval of the commission. Remarks
were made on the motion by Bros.
Morley , Marquette , St. Olair , Leo-
dom , Gale and Maifiold , after which
the question wns put and adopted.
The subject as to the necessity of
securing moro land for seminary pur
poses was discussed at length , and all
were of the opinion that in .Nebraska , a
itato of largo fields and larger ideas , 100
icrca were necessary for college or sem
