Tt calls upon Mr. Arthur to see to it that ‘the democratic party may never again dominate in a government which it suught to over- throw. That pm{ in every southern atate and in mostof the northern states has repudiated sacred obligations re- Iating to nationality, to freedom, to financial honor, and to honest econom- ical administration.” The Nebraska republicans are clurlfi of the stalwart order, and yet Col. Keoves is raising money for Mahone in Massachusetts and a wretched democrat presides over the United States Senate, Nebraska will have to catch up with the proces- sion.—Springfield Republican, Whether the majority of the voters of Nebraska are clearly “‘stalwart” or not, they are disposed to place their confidence in Mr, Arthurand hope that he will earry out the broad policy of his predecessor. So far as the plat- form at the late republican convention is concerned, the republicans of Nebraska - had little more to do with it than the republicans of Massachusetts. The resolutions were drafted and carried down to the convention by a man who is seeking office at the hands of the government, and the platform was rushed through at the close o convention and all discussion smother- ed by a vote of adjournment. While commenting on the Springfield Re- publican’s comment it may be well to say that a ‘‘wretched demoerat’ no longer presides over the senate having given way to an ambitious green- backer. . As. this change was effected by a republican senate, Nebraska has caught up with the procession in this particular. Tux ramor comes from Washington that Frank Hatton, of the Burlington Hawkeye who is spoken of as ‘‘a warm personal friend of Mr. Arthur,” will noon be appointed first nssistant rt- mastor general. The report fails to state whether Mr, Hatton is willing to give up the better place he has now at the head of one of the brightestand :;eot newspapers in Iowa.—State hegis- er. . Mr. Hatton is one of those pure patriots whose devotion to party is measured by the opportunities which party affords him to, draw public pap. Mr. Hatton was a warm friend of General Grant's candidacy so long as there seemed any chance of a nomina- tion. His devotion to president Gar- field was singularly strong as soon as he received the postmastership at Burlington, and his warm personal re- gard for Mr. Arthur since his acces- sion to the presidency is no doubt beyond question. Mr. Hatton always has his hawkeye to the main chance. Special to the Cincinnati Commereial, * HuntsviLLE, Ala., Ootober 15.—— Captain Frank Gurley was to-day con- vigte the federal court of trespass and taking timber from government land. Gurley will be remembered as the murderer of Generat Ed. McCook, of Ohio, for which crime he was sen- tenced by court-martial to be h;l:ffld, but the sentence was commu by President Johnson. It is perhaps well for Captain Gurley that he did not emigrate west about the time he was pardoned by Andy Johnson, Then the [sentence of the court-martial might have been en- forced in spite of executive clemency. People in this section will, however, be surprised to hear that any man can be convicted and sent up for trespass for eutting government timber. Even the Omaha postwaster can leave his office for a couple of months to engage in cutting railroad ties on the public land and nobody has ever thought of interfering with his enterprise, TuE Bk calls the attention of the contractors who are now constructing the sewqr through the alley between Farnham and Douglas street to the necessity of placing warning lanterns along the course of the excavation. It is not sufficient ‘to place lights on street crossings alone. The alleys are public thoroughfares and as such are more used than is generally supposed for entrance and exit to their rear of business and dwelling. As public thoroughfares the city first and then the contractors are responsible for any damages which may result from their obstruction by excavation or other- wise. An ounce of preuention is worth a pound of cure. MauoNE insists that the Republican senators should stand by Gorham and Riddleberger. Murat Halstead, of the Cincinpati Commercial, blandly suggests that it is high time to tell Mahone to go where the fire fly is singed in the night—in other wordsto the red hot country that Dr. Thomas does not believe in, e— OURRENCY.

So runs the tradition, and in 1849, when the Lord Airlie of that day died, several per- sons declared that they heard the mysteri- ous drum beat. Of course it is now said that & similar occurrence preceded the new of Lord Alir ie’s death in Colorado. New Zealand with its 44,000,000 acres capable of cultivation, only had 800,000 under cultivation last year. From them were obtained 6,000,000 bushels of wheat, 700,000 of barley and 8,000,000 of oats.
