CHAIHIOX , Neb. , Oct ao. [ Correspondence
af the BKI : . ] For years It has been my privilege
'
lege to travel constantly In the 'great state of
Nebraska nnd the entire west , but not until n
few days ago did it become my duty to cross
the sandy space between Valentino and Gor
don , always having had an aversion to this
part of the famous northwest. How the Idea
that this country was a bleak , sandy , sterile
desert , cold and cheerless , was instilled in my
mind , is more than I can toll , but such It al
ways before seemed to mo to bo , until now ,
by actual observation and experience , I find
myself imsscsslng on entirely wrong impres-
Mdon. No ono was over BO much sur
prised ns I to find , instead of
n wild and unbroken prairie , inhabited
only by a few settlers nnd ranchmen , n coun
try teeming with all the requirements of a
modern and well-to-do clvill/atlon. Lands
fertile and rich , cultivated by the hardy and
prosperous pioneer , the absolute architect of
our western prosperity. Homes , large and
well built on almost every ( juartor section ,
nuch as many of our more eastern neigh
bors would bo proud of comparatively now.
Yet to n tourist it evinces every indication
of iin older settled country. The odious ex
pression , "Tho wild and woolly northwest , "
lit extremely offensive and not In any way
applicable to this country now. Let the
"cowboy country" forever sink into obliv
ion , and behold Instead the laud where
prosperity and plenty reign in their full sig
nificance.
It is u pleasure to note the progress nnd
Improvement in this the great White Uivor
country. Ono cannot but express his sur
prise and admiration on arriving at the beau
tiful and thriving city of Chadron , built up
ns it is by energetic business men of the
"now school" which only the great west edu
cates and furnishes. Look about you and on
every turn nothing but active bustle and
business prosperity their motto , and pros-
purity their convictions. I might mention
many whoso names are familiar to'
the people hero and who have been instru
mental in building up in so short a tlmo such
tin aggregation of magnificent buildings , but
BIIUCO forbids , nnd I speak in particular of
those now under process of construction. On
almost every corner brick blocks of imposing
oppcunmcu nro uearing completion. The
liiuik of Children's now building , costing
fd.iXX ) , is nearly ready for occupancy. On the
opposite sldo of the street already stands the
lUchards Bros.1 block. Ono block west u
largo business block of some eight or nine
nUiro rooms Is being pushed to completion.
This building will cost li,000. ! The second
story will bo occupied by the Knights of
Pythias as n hull. The new court house ,
costing tMX ( ) , ) , Is being built on a gentle
elevation in the south part of the city. This ,
when completed , will be ono of the most im-
> fning and elegant buildings of the
{ tlnd In the state. Dawcs county
can Justly boast of such a structure
A 20,000 school house is also under way and
will bo completed this year. A brick yard of
J.0,000 rapacity is kept running night and day
und cannot"m-nr supply the demand. It is
estimated that at the lowest calculation thcro
will bo expended In building this year over
$100,000 in the city of Chadron. I understand
that thcro will bo in the near future a com
plete systrm of waterworks and the city
board is now receiving bills for the same.
Electric light is talked of and without doubt
will bo In operation in the near future. A
$10,000 hotel will bo commenced as soon as
the brick can be made , and
taking it altogether this city , only a
llttlo over two years old , is phe
nomenal In its growth and enterprise.
Chadron is the key to the mineral regions
of the north and west ns well us holding title
In honor to the vnst extent of rich fanning
nnd grazing country of the White river. It is
a division station for thrco divisions of the
railroad. Machine shops and round-house
nro also located at this jwint. It is the key to
the Black Hills and the vast coal and oil re
gions of central Wyoming. No locality in the
northwest has so bright a future prospect before
fore it as Chudron.
Nebraska City's Celebration.
NKIUIASK.V CITY , Neb. , Oct. 80. [ Corre
spondence of the Br.u. ] The celebration
next Thursday promises to bo the greatest
event in the history of Nebraska City. The
ciltlro day will bo given up to festivities , and
everybody is invited to participate. It will
bo n day long to bo rciiu'inbercd. A $175,000
nystoin of waterworks will bo tested by the
Nebraska City fire department , und compa
nies from different cities in the stuto nro ex
pected to tnko part. The cornerstone of an
fSOO.OOO bridge , being built by the Chicago ,
'
Burlington & Q'ulney , will bo laid with inter
esting ceremonies. The advent of the Mis
souri Pacific railroad will bo observed in a
fitting manner nnd the dedication of their
liandsomo now depot will bo an interesting
feature of the day's programme. The Odd
Follows' temple , which Is about completed
nnd which will bo the handsomest of its kind
in the state , will also bo dedicated by the
order on that day. All the civic societies of
the city will turn out ; the schools and nil the
employes of the various manufactories will
have a half-holiday and taku a purl in the
celebration. The Masonic order will take
charge of the corner stone laying. Invita
tions have been sent to all the lodges in the
ntnto , and largo delegations from various
places have promised to bo present. All the
railroads will give reduced rates. Hon. J.
Bterling Morton will bo the principal speaker ,

part in the culc-bratlon. and with fuvnrublo
weather it is bound to bo a grand success.
Nebraska City's boom has only begun , and
Is built upon substantial business enterprises
Which uro increasing and growing greater
every day. During iho past year there were
begun and completed a dozen different enter
prises , which will employ nearly 1,000 men ,
most of these bolng new-comers with fami
lies. The addition to the population of No-
lirusku City from this source ulono Is quite
n littlocity. Besides the many now enter
prises already enumerated a number of others
nro still promised. Among others is ihc
JJeutrlco Tiling factory. A representative ol
that concern was la the city n few days ngt :
examining the clay about Ncbruski

Tlio News in Fremont.
FUGMONT , Neb. , Oct. 30. [ Special to the

Yesterday morning ut St. Phllomcnn's ca
thedral , the Jubllco over the fiftieth annl-
vcrsnry of the priesthood of Pope Leo Xllf , ,
was celebrated In n most befitting manner.
All the various Catholic societies In the city
attended , marching In n body to the cathed
ral. These different organizations , aggregat
ing about MX ) men , presented u flno spectacle.
At the head wcro the Catholic Knights , with
appropriate badges on their breast. Next
were the Uniformed Knights , attired In
striking uniforms embellished with gold lace
and helmets crested with red plumes , their
swords flashing in the early morning sun.
The Holy Family society were distinguished
by badges. The Ancient Oiilcr of HI-
benilans wcro attired In full
regalia. The St. Wcnesclnus ( Bohemian )
society were red sashes , nnd St. Joseph
( German ) society blue ones. At 8 o'clock
n. m. this body of men marched in the
cathedral and took their places in seats re
served for them. A vast audience was in nt-
tcndunco nt the ceremonies , and many wcro
turned away , being unable to find oven
standing room. The altar was appropriately
decorated und the low mass wns conducted
in a quiet and fittingly religious manner.
Bishop O'Connor ' , assisted by Father Carroll ,
celebrated the moss. Father McCarty was
also present in the sanctuary. All the par
ticipants in the communion had previously

mass Mrs. Frunko sang u bountiful solo. The
other muslo was furnished by the choir nnd
the organist , Miss Arnold. The excrcisos

President flowl Ing's Ijccturc.
"Family Life According to a Now Gospel"
was the subject upon which Kcv. M. P.
Dowllng , S. J. , president of Crelghton college -
lego , addressed a very largo audience in the
Grand opera house last evening. Tlio lecture
was given under the auspices of St. Leo
Branch , No. 292 , Catholic Knights of
America , nnd was a brilliant success in every
way. The lecture was preceded by a pleasing
overture from an orchestra , followed by the
"Flower Song. "
The speaker was then introduced by Mr.
T , C. Mlnchan , nnd as ho stepped to the
front ho was greeted with an outburst of ap
plause. Before speaking upon the subject of
the evening ho congratulated the Catholic
Knights of America upon the success of their
efforts in the celebration of the golden
jubilee of Pope Leo XIII.
Ho then opened his lecture , drawing the
picture of what an enlightened pagan would
say to an unborn child , fund the explanation
of an original sin. Holgavc n description of
man what ho is in Ujqbody and what in the
soul. The latter ho'dwelt upon as the most
important part. God'was not satisfied with
an individual , and "imparted powers to
create the family. The latter was to repre
sent the holy trinity-Milan the imago of his
fraternity. The speakar believed that if God
dealt wisely in the creation of man and the
establishment of thcfumily , , he dealt no less
wisely in establishing ! the stability of the
family. The hymn of our first parent was
merely the echo' of the divine
commandment. In " speaking of the
marriage- laws , ho1 stated whatever
marriage may have bodn under the old law
representing the union .of God with the syna
gogue , ho believed that the now law repre
sented the indissoluble Union of Christ with
the church. The Catholic church holds that
marriage is sacred , -and refuses to acknowl
edge that which is perfected in defiance of
her laws , while the Protestants hold that
marriugo is a civil contract and can bo
broken , hence the many divorces. But the
Protestant church allows divorce for ono
cause the scripture cause adultery. The
state's position is n logical one , but it is un-
soriptural , and immoral results follow. The
guilty party in thcso cases should not bo al
lowed to remarry. Ho cited several cases of
divorces that had been grunted from evi
dence given of actions that had been per
petuated for the simple purpose of obtaining
divorces. Divorce , ho stated , was no differ
ent to-day than polygamy. If remarrying
was prohibited by law there would bo fewer
divorces.
In closing ho said that it is in the matter of
education that the new gospel strikes its
hardest blow. Catholics connot consistently
patronize the public schools of to-day. Re
ligion and education must go together. While
the Catholics did not patronize thcso public
. schools ho believed it was unjust to tax them
for the education of the children of others.
Education increases morality , and as morality
increases crime decreases. The an
archists imprisoned in Chicago are
educated men , but had they received un edu
cation not divorced from religion they would I
not be whcro they are to-day. Wo nro now
on the eve of a social revolution , nnd these
educational matters are timely ones and
should bo given thought. It is the educa
tional system that wo lire finding fault with ,
and wo nro only asking justice and that wo
bo not forced to pay for what we cannot uso.
In closing , ho said that no now gospel could
supplant or supply the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
The Tower of Bnbel.
Last evening nt the First Presbyterian
church the Uev. W. J. Hurshu took for his
subject "Tho Tower of Bubcl. " His text
was Genesis H : 5 : "And the Lord came
down to see the city and the tower which the
children of men buildcd. " In substance the
speaker said : It is interesting and surpris
ing to notice how many of the essential fea
tures of the scenery of Palestine have been
preserved to our day. The hills still stand ,
beautiful und serene , around Jerusalem , sug
gesting the prsprietyof the Psalmists'words :
"As the mountains are round about Jcrnslem
so the Lord is round about them that fear
Him. " The dew still gathers upon Hermon
and the waves of Galileo are as subject to
sudden storms as they wcro when Christ and
his disciples took boat to cross to the other
side. And not only do many of the natural
features of scenery remain the samebut also
there are ruins and monuments and tombs ,
there are towns and citadels and citieswhich
have not materially changed nince Christ was
on the earth. Among thcso thcro is the ruin
of n mighty tower which scholarship has
identified ns that built by1 the first ruco of
men to escape n possible1 second flood , wo call
it the Tower of Babel. < t Let us see what les
sons wo may learn from the story us wo have
it in the eleventh clmptQV of Gcncbis.
First of all wo may learn something
as to the Truth , of Bible History.
The story of the building of the Tower of
Babel is very simple | und familiar. The
human race had increased to many thousands.
Men were restless then as now , and fearful
of u coming flood. Thoy.woro all of ono lang
uage nnd one speech , as the bible says , or lit
erally , "of ono lip and pqp word. " They dC
termined to build u tgwor which should
render them safe from afiy watery mishaps
of the future. It was ono of those great pop
ular movements liko1 the crusades or the
French insurrections. When they had been
n- nt work n long time iiuil had reached n certain
nat tain height It was suddenly found that nc
atr workman could understand his neighbor ,
rd Some mysterious change had token pluco In
language , and the work , ended of itself , was
, given up by mutual consent.
id That this i * correct history wo have manj
3d evidences. Tho' fact that it best explains the
in diversities of language Is ono thing. Philolo
gists all point out that all languages come
if- from ono prigin , and that the rupture was c
rlcr sudden and unexpected one. , This. oX itselj
cr gives n probability to the story of the tower ,
its which is proven the right key because It fit ;
lis all the wards'of tho-lock. More than this
fo wo have the testimony of six ancient writers
or that u tower answering the description nctu
ally existed in their day. And in Ib57 M
Opport published a cuneiform inscriptior
Id written by Nebuchadnezzar , which trans
ifvo lated says : ' "Men had loft It ( the toworsinc <
vote the days of the -Hood , which confusod.tlu
to languages. " These things are enough to
by show that'thls part of bible record is truo.am
in if this part , why not all parts !
Lo-- 1 A second tiling I learn Is the self condemn
ing tendency of skeptleisjn. , Tins'building o
that tower was.ti direct act of unbelief. Clod
assured mankind that there4 never would bo
another flood , and 'put n rainbow In the
heavens to attest his promise. But men
would not beltovo him ; they thought they
would better look out for themselves. It
was too early for atheism to bo put Into n
creed , but they did the best they could they
put It Into' bricks. And Oed just loft them to
the tendency of unbelief to destroy Itself.
Notlco the dignity of my text. "Tho Lord
eamo down to BCO the city and the tower
which were bullded. " There was no unsilon ,
No thunderbolts were hurled , but the whole
thing came to naught of Its own weight. It
Is always so with skepticism. Lcavo the
babblers to confront each other. You go
and do your duty in faith and obedience.
A third thing I learn Is : An explanation of
God's ' silence. The most awful thing In the
universe Is that God says nothing , no matter
how much man blasphemes. Ho krcps silent
no matter how cruelly ho Is falsified. Mr.
Itujcrsoll claims that ho has been defying
God for twenty years and no harm has cotno
to him. What Is this but an acknowledg
ment of the long-suffering of that God who
Just stood In the clouds above 1 label and si
lently watched the jwor deluded builders at
their work. Oh , the pathos of God's sllencol
How much ho loves us I How earnestly ho
desires our repcntancol Ho will not chide
us until the last moment. Ho will give us
every opportunity to turn and live. How
pathullcally God throvgh the Psalmist says :
"Those things hast thou done and I kept si
lent. "
A fourth thing I learn Is : The best method
of meeting skcpttclslm. I bellovo In re
search and learning , but nbovo nil things I
bellovo In a holy mo ns nn answer to Infi
delity. Set the Christian llfo right .and other
men will soon como to think right. Lot
Babel alone and It will fall off itsolf. Any
faithful mother can preach n better sermon
than her minister can. Thcro never 1ms
been nn answer to u holy llfo and there never
can bo ono.
In conclusion lot mo say that the word
Babel means two things , "confusion" and
"Gate of God. " Oh let the confusion which
results when men set themselves up ns Infallible -
fallible teachers lead us to that gnto of faith
which conducts us * to our God. Trust In
Christ and you need fear no flood.
Clirlst'H Divinity.
' The Divinity of Jesus Proved by
Prophecy , " was the subject of Hov. J. M.
Wilson's discourse at the Cast ell ar street
Presbyterian church yesterday , taking the
text , "For Ho mightily convinced the Jews
and that publicly showing by the scripture
that Jesus was the Christ. "
The Apostles dwelt largely in their preach
ing on the scripture proof of Jesus' mcssla-
ship and that with pontlcostial results.
Apollos , the eloquent Alcxandcrino Jew ,
mighty in the scriptures , employed the same
argument and mightily convinced the Jews.
The careful reader of the Old Testament
readily sees that the Messiah of prophesy Is
u divine human person. The Jewish people
had not arisen to this high conception , but
their prophets had. Ismah describes
Him as "tho man of sorrows , " the offspring
of David , the "might of God , " the "prince of
peace. " David's second and twenty-second
psalms spoke of him ns a sufferer at the
hands of his foes , the son of God , an abso
lute , universal and everlasting king and Je
hovah to the worshipped. The prophctio
vision is clear , full and unquestionable. The
desire of all nations was to bo "Immanucl
God with us. "
The Jesus of gospel history is also set forth
ns divine as well as human. Born of woman ,
ho lived , labored , rejoiced , suffered and died
ns other men. As God manifest in the flesh
ho is recorded ns pure and sinless , an all-
wise prophet , healing the the sick , raising
the dead , rising himself from the dead , as
cending up into heaven and standing at the
right hand of God. The facts concerning
Jesus us a man nro admitted
as correct history ; his claims to equality
with God are emphasized in almost every
book of the Now Tostumcnt. Jesus of Naz
areth is unquestionably set forth as the God-
man.
Numerous messianic prophecies nro with
out doubt fulfilled in Jesus. Ho was the seed
of David as recorded in Matthew and Luko.
Ho was born in Bethlehem of Judah as fore
told Micah 5 : 2. Ho was born before the de
struction of the Jewish nation , ns prophesied
by Jacob "Tho sccptro shall not depart from
Judah till Shlloh como. " When Jesus was
twelve years of ago Judah was made a
Syrian province and in 70 A. D. Jerusalem
was destroyed and the Jews exiled. Ho
came and died nt thr time spoken of by Dan
iel 0 : 2-1-27 190 ycai-i from the commission to
restore the government to the Jews made by
Artaxcrxcs , and after the Messiah has cut
off "the city and sanctuary wcro to bo des
troyed" and "sacrifices and oblations to
cease. " These things were literally fulfilled
in the allotted time. So Haggai2 : U , that ho
should corao during the tinio of the temple.
And in minute detail the prophetic picture of
his betrayal , trial and death was filled out : n
friend betrayed him , ho was numbered with
thieves and robbers , they gave him vinegar
mingled with gall to drink , they cast lots for
his garment , not a bono of his body was
broken , ho was pierced and mudo his grave
with the wicked and with the rich lu his
death. No other man in Jewish history has
the shadow of a claim to fulfilling nil thcso
Messianic prophecies. The inevi
table conclusion is that Jesus of
Nazareth is the historic person
foretold in the Old Testament scriptures ,
at least on his human sldo and as regards the
natural facts. But such fulfillment proves
beyond quesiion that the Old Testament
prophecies concerning Jesus as n man are
divine revelations. Only divine omniscience
can scan iho future and make known the
counself of God especially with such exact
ness and in such detail. The prophetic
volco of Jacob , David and Isaiah nad been
stilled in death , and the record made hun
dreds and thousands of years before the ad
vent of Jesus of Nazareth , and yet thcso
events came to pass as foretold. The om
niscient God verily had put these words into
their mouths. But the Messiah of prophecy
is divine as well as human. The two ideas
nro the body and soul of the prophetic pic
ture. The facts concerning his divine nature
must therefore bo a divine revelation as well
ns those concerning his human nature , and
Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ of God , the
divine as well ns the human savior. The
Messiah of the Old and the Christ of the
New Testament are ono and the sumo ; and
the marvelous words and works ascribed to
him are the words and works of God. "Ho
was God manifest In the flesh. "
Tills argument mightly convinced the
Jews and when apprehended is conclusive
with us. The unprejudiced and willing mind
is sure to como to the light' , "No man callcth
Jesus Christ except by the Spirit. " but no
man cometh to him ready to bo taught and is
cast out. "If yo continue in my word , yo
shall know the truth and the truth shall
uiako you free. "
The last stronghold Is the human
will , but if the judgment is con
vinced , the will should yield.
If Jesus is the Christ according to prophecy ,
thcro is only ono reasonable course , instant
worship and obedience. The affections and
choice should follow in the footsteps of the
reason and the dlsciplo bring a whole uoulcd
devotion to his Lord and Master.

LONDON , Oct. 80. [ New York Herald
Cable-Special to the Bni : . ] Never before
could Spurgcon's tabcrnaclo have been so
crowded as I found It this morning. Doubt
less all American tourists are acquainted
with the Immense structure on the Surrey
sldo of London. The vast amphitheatre was
full of brilliant toilets and black coats. The
large side platform was also crowded , and
Mr. Spurgcon officiated from another smaller
platform. Ho grows stouter every year
and seemed in excellent health and
spirits. Thcro is n flno organ but
no chair , the congregation singing like an
immense but untrained chorus. Mr.
Spurgcon spoke , ns usual , without notes ,
sometimes resting his left hand back on u
chair , but often stepping forward grasping
the rail and leaning over as in familiar , con-
verso. The texts wcro Zophanlah 3:10. : 17
and 18 : In that day it shall be said to Jeru
salem , Fear thou not , nnd to Zlon , lot not
, thtuo hands bo slack. The Lord my God In
the midst of thee Is mighty , ho will save , ho
will rojolco over theo with Joy , ho will rest In
his love , bo will Joy over theo with
singing. I , will gather them that orn
sorrowful for the solemn-usssombly , Who are
of the thee , to whom the reproach of It was n
burden.
The great concourse expected personal rof-
orqnco lo his recent manifesto but was griev
ously disappointed , ns ho proceeded without
n single reference to himself except to say
that next Thursday ho would leave for some
time On n holiday , ns his health wns some
what broken. HI * son Is to take his place.
Ho declined to nay whcro ho was going as ho
wished to secure pjrfcot rest. The sermon
was not remarkable , but was mainly based
on the thesis of the great comfort
and Joy In practical religion.
After the sermon Certainly fifty hearers
visited the pastor in his room nnd nearly nil
gave ohort messages of comfort nnd expressed -
pressed satisfaction with his recent course.
Mr. Spurgeon's withdrawal from thO.Bapltst
union causes as much sensation In nonconformist
formist circles ns Lord Salisbury's with
drawal from the cabinet would In political
circles. Ono of the organs of the established
church says : "Ills a flno example always
when n good man opposes himself against the
spirit of the ago and doas buttlo temperately
without angry words. Whether his
cause bo right or wrong Is
of small importance when the
Instincts of the hero nro good. The essential
point Is that ho delivers his protest and holds
the field with dignity. Mr. Spurgcon's
declaration of faith Is a model. Ho docs not
blumo the union for harboring errors , because -
cause so far as ho can see It Is powerless to
help Itself , The preacher's common scnso is
shown most conspicuously In his refusal to
itnrt n new denomination. Ho declines to bo
nude a prophet to the rest.
Presently , accepting the Herald corres-
xmdent's card , ho said , laughingly , "No , my
lolldny will not bo In America , where I
lover have been and never expect to go , be
cause I am too busy here , but where I have
beloved friends and correspondents whoso
approval of my recent course I shall bo glad
to hear. I said nothing about it to-day bo-
oauso I prefer always to give personal ox.
ilunation in u newspaper such us you can
see in the denominational Sword nnd
Trowel , in the coming November
ssuoof which I sny much. But doubtless
nil that is worth knowing as to my rnovo-
nents nnd reason has been already cabled to
the Herald. " Other inquiries coming up ho
made similar remarks to each. Mingling
with the congregation still going out I heard
lathing but expressions of confidence in the
nistor's course which was really taken with
iho prior approval of the officers of the con
gregation.
Dr. John Clifford , vice-president of the
[ Baptist union , well-known in America , was
Interviewed to-day on the subject. Ho said :
'It is clear that , like Luther , Mr. Spurgcon
"eels that ho can do nought clso than with
draw. Conscience bids him and ho obeys.
All our traditional Baptist principles
constrain us to honor Mr. Spur-
ijcon for his unswerving fidelity
.0 his conviction of auty and to bellovo that ,
.hough the act bo for the moment unspeak
ably hurtful , yet if the truth gain , all will
; ain , the Baptist union included. Mr. Spur-
; con accompanied his retirement with Iho
following six allegations : That some persons
are allowed to remain in tlio union who make
light of the atonement , deny the
personality of the Holy Ghost , call the
tall a fable , speak of jurisdiction
by faith as immoral , refuse credence to the
dogma of the plenary inspiration of the holy
scripture , nnd hold that there is another pro
bation after death with possibilities of a future -
turo restoration of the lost. Mr. Spurgou
says that all unions begin to look like confed
eracies of evil. This is a grave
charge indeed. Take the British Bap-
tsst union only. It consists of 2,000 churches
with pastors and n communing membership
of over two hundred thousand , Are these
churches and pastors federated together iu
the union in evil ) Mr. Spurgeon states his
case with great energy but what docs ho
prove ! No books are cited , no sermons are
quoted , no papers read ut the union nro
put in evidence , no addresses
given at its meetings are ad
vanced , not a , solitary man , not
n solitary church is named. " After defend
ing the Union at great length and In good
temper the reverend .gentleman concluded
thus : "But supposing Mr. Spurgcoii really
had a case and his indictment could bo
proven , is his withdrawal the best servieo
that can bo rendered , not to the Baptist union
only , but to the kingdom of Heaven , for
which the Baptist union existsl Christian
scholars have their contests. The old
testament is being put into a fire heated to
seven-fold fierceness and the newer record is
still unconsumcd m n burning bush of criti
cism. Church builders sco the old politics
nnd orders changing and scarcely know what
way to take with the social diflicultics that
rise at a hundred points utonce. This surely ,
of nil times , is not the hour for division.
Every soldier is wanted ; not an ounce of
powder can bo spared. "

OMAHA , Oct. " 7 , 1837. At a mcotlnjr
of oloctorsof the Third judicial district ,
hold on the Silth inst. , and composed of
members of both political parties , the
undersigned were charged with the
duty of preparing nn address to the poo-
jlo , setting forth the reasons whloh
have "induced them to support , ut tha
coming election , the judicial ticket on
which appear the immes of Judges.
Wakoley , G roil , Hopewoll and Donne.
Impressed with tho"daugor of making
the judicial olllce a prize for the most
shrewd , the most active or the most
popular worker-In party politics , and
fully realizing the fact that to ho both
impartial and independent , a judge
should ho free from the 'MilanglomuntH
arising out of partisan strife , the bar ol
the district mot at the court house in
Omaha some ilnvs prior to the period
lixod for holding the judicial
nominating convention. At that meet
ing , which wns absolutely non-partisan ,
Judges Wakeloy , GrolT and llopewell
( the first named being umlorslooti to be
democratic in his views and the two
others republican ) were unanimously
recommended for re-election , and a
committee appointed to notify the nom
inating conventions of this action. That
committee mot with a courteous recep
tion from the democratic convention ,
and their recommendation wns adopted ,
Mr. W. A. Stow being selected for the
fourth place on the ticket.
In the republican con volition , however -
over , a motion to receive the bar com
mittee was defeated , and a delegation
front the democratic convention sent to
notify the republicans of its nominations
mot with no better fate. It is doubtful
if any political convention in the coun
try was ever before guilty of such gross
discourtesy.
The republican delegates nominated
throe gentlemen , who , whatever their
qualifications may bo , have had no ex
perience on the bench , and some of
them but little at the bar. Of the
fourth , as ho is on both tickets , it is un
necessary to speak.
Wo bolieyo that all who have the wol-
fnro of this community at heart , who
think that judges should bo above party
obligations and party bias , and above
all , should bo above pressing their own
claims in caueusscs , nominating con
ventions and political campaigns ,
will feel no hesitation in voting the
clean and independent ticket pre
sented by the bar. Judge Wakcloy IIOH
boon known lo Iho voters of this dis
trict for thirty yearn. His career both
at the bar and on the bench has been
alike honorable to himself and of bon-
cllt lo the community among whom ho
has dwelt. Ho took the olllco in the
first instance only at the unanimous request -
quest of the lawyers of the district and
by the appointment of a republican gov
ernor. Four years ago ho and Judge
Neville , a republican , wore elected witli-
out contest by those whobelievcd then ns
we believe now , that judicial elections
should be free from partisanship. No
whisper of suspicion against his ability
has over been breathed.
Judges Grolt and I lope well have
served since the last session of the legis
lature. In that period they , have be
come known throughout the district ,
have devoted themselves assiduously to
their duties and have shown thcinsolves.
clcan , impartial and industriousolllcors ;
no fault being found with either of them
unless by litigants who may happen to
have boon defeated in their courts.
The lamented death of Hon. W. A.
Stow rendered the selection of another
candidate in his place necessary ; and in
response o a very general expressed
wisli by lawyers nnd others the Hon.
George W. Doano has boon selected for
the fourth place on the ticket. Mr ,
Doano's entire professional life has been
spent in this district , and his legal ex-
norinco of over thirty yearshis probity ,
his learning and industry nro , wo feel
confident , sulllciont guarantees that his
career on the bench will bo honorable
to him nnd satisfactory to the district , .
It has boon said that were democrats
in a largo majority throughout the dis
trict they would nominate party men
men and refuse to follow their action of
a few days ago. But wo suggest that-
the proper question for us to uslc our
selves is not \vhat would our enemies or
opponents do in a given case ; but , what
is right ? what is the best interests of
the commonwealth ? what would the
purest and best men advise ? If voters
would ask themselves thcso questions
wo have no fear of the result.
That Iho ticket which wo advocate
will bo elected in the opinion of these
who are best informed in such matters
is almost a foregone conclusion. But wo
hope for something more than mere suc
cess. Wo hope for a rcsponno to our
appeal fco general and no emphatic that
political wire pullers , strikers , caucus
lobbyists and all who seek to influence
votes by unfair or dishonest means
shall take warning that their machina
tions , if they are allowed to exist
at all , must bo confined to
non-judicial offices ; and that the
people of the Third judicial
district are determined that their min
isters of justice shall be , w > far as their
votes can make them , of clean hands ,
broad and impartial views , of loarniiij , '
and uprightness.WlMJAM
