tative men from nil prcpiiicts in the county
wcro In attendance , the undersigned wcro
appointed n committee to draL [ nu address to
tlio jicoplo lu which snail bo truthfully portrayed
trayed the condition of the settlers on the
prairies of this county , and to call upon all
men and woni'iu , not only In our own slnto ,
but everywhere , to listen to the cry of dis
tress and hasten to relieve the widespread
destitution that prevails nmong the farmers
of this and other counties in western Ne
braska because of tbo entire destruction of
crops by Iho terrible drought of last summer.
AVc , the members of said committee , hav
ing made searching inquiry into the present
condition of our people , and having personal
knowledge of ninny cases of destitution , here
with submit for the consideration of nil
charitably inclined people the fact that nt
thistlmu'thoru nro in Lincoln county at least
five hundred families or two thousand , Jive
hundred human beings who are destitute of
oven the common necessities of life , nnd who
huvo no means wherewith to provide for
themselves , Thcso people , many of whom
are women and helpless children , must huvo
aid or their suffering by .starvation and cold
will bo terrible. These people uro not beggary
or tramps , whoso hublts of life nrbto exist on
tbo charity of others. It Is humiliating In
dued for them to receive nld , but when stnr-
'vatlon stares them in the fnco nnd their
children cry for bread and shiver with cold ,
a necessity exists and nid must bo furnished
and will bo received with grateful hearts and
tenrful thiinks tn these who , like the good
enmnrltnn , hasten to their relief.
Thcso people have no fuel except the cattle
droppings they gather from the pridrios and ,
should a snow storm come , their fires would
go out , leaving them lu their sod shanties on
their claims with no food , no llro , nnd with
clothing so scant as to afford llttlo or no pro
tection from the keen winter winds. The cry
goes forth from thcso thousands , "IIclp us.
God of Israel , help us. Must we linger hero ,
surrounded by a , Christian civilization and

vrltton a letter of utKUinlllied censure to
CoininannderlJeltcr was relieved of his
command for his action nt SunJosouttho
Imo of the killing of General Bnrrundlu on
toard of the stcnuicr Acapuico. The follow-
ng extracts will servo to show the severity
of the ' 'In situation in
ccnsuro : your , com-
mind of n force of public vessels of the
Jnltod States In a territory which , If not at
hat moment ut war , had recently been
he scene of hostilities an well of civil
disturbances , It was your duty to watch with
he most active solicitude over the interests
jf your country in that quartos , nnd
jsueclally its interests afloat. From the
nomcnt that the approach of the Acapuico
simmer bearing an American flag was
mown to you you should have taken every
itep legally luyo'jr power to glvo countc-
lance nnd support to her captain und protcc
lion to all persons on board , especially when
you knew their safety was likely to bo
nennced. Instead of this , in your npparent
Mideavor to escape Iho responsibility , yo ro-
nainod so completely passive that , us fur as
the events on board tbo Acapuico wcro con
cerned , you and your vessel might as well
"iinve been on the other side of the ocean.
"Whenever any passenger , whether Amer-
cnu or foreigner , is received on board of an
American vessel lie comes uudor the Ameri
can ilng and is entitled to thu protection und
security of which that flag is a guarantee.
It was wlthlnyourli'gltlmatonowcras it. WAS
your imperative duty to execute by every
ifttuns legally at your command n guarantee
of protection which the United States gives
tor.ll vessels under its flag. Your ships wcro
on the spot ; you had full knowledge of Geu-
eral IJarrumta's approach ; you were * in-
'orniod of the Intention to seize him as a po-
itlcal offender. Ho was not n fugitive from
, he territory of Guatemala seeking to escape
.crntorial Jurisdiction , neither was ho a con
spirator attempting to return to his country to
Toment a revolution. Ho was a passenger on
ward of nn American ship , which ho had
oincd in Mox'lc owlth destination for Pau
lina , and ho had thus , without your intervcn-
, ion and outside of local jurisdiction , ob-
.nlnod n place under the Hag nnd protection
f the UnlteU Suites. In this condition you
'ound him. His safety was threatened.
Under thcso circumstances it was your plain
duty to proceed ut once to meet the steamer
before she cast anchor in port , to warn the
captain of the danger and ofTcr to .his pas
senger , should ho desire it , an asylum oa
board your ship.
"Kven after the arrival of the Acapuico in
portyour power of discretionary action was
by no means taken away. Thcro were in par
ticular throe points in which the existing sit
uation imposed the duty upon you ns the sen
ior naval oOlcor present a uosltivo duty ,
namely : 1. To niiiko full investigation of the
Tacts , to ascertain the sufficiency of the
jhnrgo and of the authority on which the pro
posed removal of the passenger was based.
i ! . To prevent by your presence , with such
isslstauco as' you might find neees-
t > nry , any proceedings on board
of the steamer calculated to endanger
ho safety of these on board. .1. If upon
examination it appeared that the seizure was
o bo attempted without proper warrant or
hat proceedings wcru merely in the nature
ot a pretext to secure the person of u political
fugitive , It wns your duty to offer him , in u'o-
cordauco with humane nnd well established
practices in thocasoof refugees whose lives
nro In danger , the hospitality of your own
vessel.
In none ot these particulars docs It appear
that you took any action. "
Secretary Tracy closes the letter in the fol-
.owlng words : "H Is believed that few cases
have over occurred in thn history of the
United States navy where the commanding
olllecr so completely abandoned the responsi
bilities of his positlou as , according to your
own showing , you did upon this critical occa
sion , A L'nited States otllccr does not ask of
a foreign government permission to odor au
asylum to any person on Hoard an American
vessel at sea WHO stands In need of rofugo.
An oQlcor who so abdicates his authority uud
thut of the nation ho represents and surrend
ers it to othor.s has n lesson to learn before ho
can safely bo Intrusted with tbo command of
a ship ot war. "

Tbo colonel said , speaking of the present
trouble : "I will tell yflu what It was nnd
everybody familiar with ttio situation nnd
not. for Homo reason , disinclined to bo quoted
will endorse my statement. It was thu influ
ence of the missionaries , representatives of
the Indian protection and Indian pres
ervation societies. They hnv been
ceaselessly endeavoring to imhuo the
Indians with the Idea that tbo
government is playing false with them. Now ,
such talk would brood discontent among
white men , Unit the Indians should Imvo been
Impressed by It is not remarkable. Such
talk , I repeat , with a full knowledge of the
Import of my words , was the initial cause of
the present troublo. The Messiah cruzo was
an Influential factor , but not the prime cause.
"Tho elulm that the Indians wcro starving
was In a gre.it incnsuro exaggerated. If they
wore starving , is It likely they would kill cattle -
tlo by thu hundreds nnd leave tbo carcasses
on thonlains untouched , save for cutting a
piece of the tenderloin ? I Imvo scon thcso
dead cattle myself. They are distributed
over n wide stretch of territory , so plenti
fully that , despite the numerous packs of

The Fremont Herald savs :
"Genoral Colby of the Nebraska national
guards may bo n trifle fresh in offering the
services of his command free to the govern
ment and the state. Ho says in a letter to
the adjutant general :
" 'In regard to the p-iy for the troop' I
know I express the sentiments of my "com
mand when I say that their services are ten
dered frco for the protection of the state in
its emergency. '
This may bo nil right enough for Colby ,
but the boys who are taken away from their
IKjsltions und salaries ( and possibly some of
them may not And them open on their re
turn ) , nnd then compelled to lurnlsh their
own overcoats and blankets to keep from
freezing , It may seem n little too generous to
donate the little pittance of $1 a duv to which
they uro entitled. When ordered out for
service they draw SI n day for two weeks ,
and if kept longer fliny only draw the reg
ular soldiers' pay of if lit a month. The boys
didn't go into the militia for money-making
and probably all of them didn't go in for
the express purpose of lighting , but they
stood ready for emergencies nud wcro not altogether
intended to air General '
together Colby's gor
geous uniform. '
As the boys wcro boarding the train Satur
day evening , says the Ord Independent , some
of them delayed"some little tlmo in order to
bid their friends good-by. Tlio conductor of
the train addressed Lieutenant McDoiiough
and told him to hurry his men up as time > vas
worth $ U < > per minute to the railroad com
pany. This nettled the lieutenant , who re
plied : ' 'You Just keep cool and go slow. Wo
are leaving home and wo don't know when
we will pot back. " It , is needless to say that
the conductor "kept cool , " and that the boys
took their time to it.
A foniidno anmlrer of company E , of Fre
mont , has invoked the poetic muse to bring
the boys back homo In safety. The effusion
isn't ' at all bad.and the sentiment indicates
that somebody's sweetheart Is lonesome.
A determined effort has been made by the
democratic party in Nebraska to ulollsn ( the
sttito militia , declares the Nebraikn City
Press. The present Indhm trounlo and the
mussing on the frontier of the state troops
hews the absolute necessity of an organized
"body of soldiers that can bo called out on n
day's notice. The News of thin cit v , during
the recent campaign , was s\rong In its de
nunciation of the militia , but the people
of Nebraska City do not believe as
the News dotss , .for then' were hun
dreds of people down to see the bravo
company C oft for the front. The Nebraska
national guards Is a body of men that any
state should bo proud of , and more thuu oncn
Imvo they saved the destruction of life nnd
property : and now they are being massed on
the frontier to protect the settlers nnd the
towns from the depredations nnd the murder
ous raids of the recalcitrant redskins. The
Pi-ess has only wordi of pmlso for the Mate
tree | > s , and thareintbllcnn representatives at
Lincoln will do all they can to prevent tbo
abolishment of the militia ,

thut a small band of Slouxa have skipped
