The ma- jority of common sense, practical wo- men in the state are too busy at pres- ent in attending to their domestic du- ties to pay much attention to the spasmodie shrieks of the chronic woman’s rights agitators, The woman’s suffrage campaign needs galvanizing very badly. The press have become sick of the subject and the people even sicker. The mothers and sistcrs who wore granted the right to vote at school elections very unanimously decided that they pre- ferred the parlor to the halls, and the late convention at Lincoln failed to muster a corporal's guard, Under these circumstances it is not at all surprising that the American Woman's Buffrage association have sent Mrs, Ouampell to the rescue. We are free to confess that we don't know who Mrs, Oampbell is or what rank she holds among the high priestesses of the suffering sisterhood, but Nebraska offurs her an excellent field to achieve glory. If she can succeed in making woman suffrage a live issue in the coming campaign she will accom. plish more than we give her credit for. At the request of friends of ™ posed prohibition nmendmorfi"’ - constitution of Towa, we + s batoch of letters that .erd pass month in the Towa City 701%™ to bolster the character of ©* 7°h0 B. Finch, who has been ,MPing Towa in favor of the amen*®"*: Without disparagé the cause of temperance we say % emphatically that we take no /°k in John B. Finch as a moraformer. With all taker: it upon tmselves topronounce the charges tly have connected the name of Ar. Finch with a scandal as Aalacioas libels which no reputab/person in Nebraska can be made t believe, we are of the opinion )t & large number of reput- able peoe in this state do believe that the was more truth than poe- tryin tose charges, The fact that the Grandsodge of the temperance order has s8pended the Juniata Lodge for con/mpt and malicious slander, for p“lilhing.c"mn immoral letter, oWwhich Mr. Finch was believed to 6 the author, disproves nothing, nor n any stress be laid upon the facl that Mr. Finch can draw large audiences at the Nebraska state cap- ital, Beecher and Tilton both druw large audiences wherever they appear, but no unbiassed person believes that the Beecher-Tilton scan- dal was altogether unfounded. The fact that the woman in the case has made en affidavit exonerating Mr. Finch also amounts to nothing. Not many years ago a prominent Omaha minister had & scandal on his harids, and the woman in the case also made an affidavit, but the majority of the church thought it would be more prudent for the exonerated minister to find another place. In the case of Mr. Finch the woman was induced to emigrate to the British dominion and common report has it that the money for her passage.| was advanced by a near relative of Mr. Finch, It is true Mr. Finch has brought a libel suit against General Vifquain, of the Lincoln Democrat, and we pre- sume he feels confident that General Vifquain cannot prove all he publish- RerreseNtTATIVE Valentine from Nebraska, reports that the manner in which his state has been redistricted 1s most satisfactory to him. He will hereafter reside in the Third Nebras- ka district,. Ex-Senator Paddock stated that Judge Valentine would be nominated by acclamation, and that the redistricting of Nebraska will be the means of deatroying numerous factions that have heretofore existed. —Chicago T'imes, Ex-Senator Paddock is not a very reliable political weather prophet. He predicted that Nebraska would be solid for Grant two years ago but she sent a eolid delegation to Chicago for Blaine. Mr. Paddock predicted that he would be re-elected to the senate on the first ballot, but after thirty-six ballots the legislature elected Gen. Van Wyck. What the senator says about destroying the numerous factions is all bosh. There are only two factions in Nebraska, the railroad corporations and their retainers on the one side and the people of the state upon the other, These factions will continue until the corporate monopolies with- Mz, Hrwirr is eaten up with curi- osity to know how the immense naval appropriations of the past ten years have been disposed of. A postal card -dropped to George M. Robeson might result in some additions to his stock «of information. EEEEee——— Texas bas always claimed the prize for cowboys, tarantantulas and cactus, and s now béginning to brag loudly over her wheat., It is stated that her ‘wheat orop now being harvested is the finest ever grown, many fields yield- - ing thirty pushels to the acre. These are the kind of reports that will give a black eye to the high prices. Tus opening of the Burlington road to Denver is creating the usual rumors of coming changes in rates and classi- fications from the east. Up to the present time no through bills have been istued on freight from Chioago to points beyond Omaha and a differ- ont classification has been in use on the Union Pacifio from that on the pool lines. The through billing of freight by the Burlington road will force the same course on other lines and prevent the charging of full local ‘zates to Missourl river points and ar- bitrary rates to points beyond. — “‘How investigations inveatigate” is the title of an editorial in yesterday's Herald. A fow remarks from the Dootor explaning why investigations frequently fall to investigate would be timely and doubtless interesting. The printing steal inquiry which caused the Doctor's partner to suddenly re- member that he had preasing business in Oolorado, and the Teffc and Gra- ham investigations weich fell flat as #soon as the Herald wind bag was punctured, aro cases in point, There is plenty of rvom for a series of ex- tended articles by Dr. Miller on the dnvestigation question, with personal reminescences of his own connection with several of these rib tickling leg- islative incidents. But will the editor of the Herald give them? E— Jupes DiLon, who forever placed #he monopolies in his debt by his un- righteous decision on the U, P. term- duus question, has resigned his profes- worship in the Columbia College Law school, on account of his important professionsl engagements, Mr. Dil. lon is Jay Gould’s attorney, and his address has been vér valuable to the groat railroad wrecker in his Manhat- tan stock swindle, It required the suin of hundreds of stock holders, the purchase of & judge \snd the cor- zuption of a legis u(fir to carry "Gould’s nine million grab through .. and Sidoey Dillons nephew assisted in the consummation of the fraud. 1t is a strong comentary on 406 enormous power of the monopo- lies *’.& they are able to offer greater inducements to the legal profestion to prostatute thoir services in bohalf of the corporations than are offered to- ccordegebyre 4§42 4 reputation and the v of the &1 QO8I ed because the original tell- [draw from the political field and allow talo letter has been destroyed | the people to govern themselves. and the principal witnews| The manner in which the state was redistricted may be mnost satisfactory to Valentiae, but he will discover be- fore three months roll round that the Third Nebraska distriot is not a third term distriot, “‘that woman” has gone to Nova Scotia. But why did not Mr. Finch bring a libel smit against the Omaha paper published by Fred Nye, which was more severe than the Lincoln Democrat! Fred Nye and his paper happened to be under the wing of the Union Pacific, and Mr, Finch proba- bly did not wish to fall cut with the corporation that generously supplies moral reformers with free passes. As a olincher to prove that there is no taint or stain upon the character of John B. Finch, we are told by Judge Mason, his principal backer, that ‘‘the Weekly Journal, of Plattsmouth, did publish a scandalous libel and false- hood on John B. Finch, on the oc- oasion of his visiting Plattsmouth with Gov. 8t. John, of Kansas. Finch assaulted the editor and whipped him at the time, and the citi- zons of Plattsmoutb, good and true, promptly paid the costs and all decent people felt Finch did right in whip- ping the editor.” According to Judge ! «son the province of the moral reformer is to take the law into his own hands and by mauling a person physically his in- ferior establish the purity of his cher- acter. Now ruppose that the tables were turned upon Mr. Finch. It was reported by a Mount Pleasant, Iowa, paper that Mr. Finch in one of his late speeches on temperance slandered Omaha workingmen by charging them with being a mob of drunkards and outlaws. Buppose Mr, Finch should come' to Omaha next week or next month and a burly, raw-boned, big- fisted laborer should assault and maul him within an inch of his life for ma-- licious slander and citizens of Omaha, good people and true, should pay the costs would Judge Ma- son say it served Finch right! Would that establich the fact that Finch slandered the workingmen? For our part wo regard the conduct of Mr. Finch in using brute fores to vindi- cate himselt as the best proof that he is totally unfit as a champion of moral reform, The truth is Mr. Fiooh is simply & Hossian that fights for pay and not from principle, The field in Nebraska for true tem- perance reform is in the swrict en- foréement of our preseut laws, but where has Mr. Finch ever appeared as @ complainant in the courts or before the license board to sustain the law, His mission is that of a paid attorney, and he is as unscrupulous as any po- lice court lawyer. His labors in Iowa may produce good results, but we do not want Tug Beg placed in a false light as the endorser of & man in whom it has no faith whatever as a moral reformer, TaB principle at stake in the recent struggle at Washington over the con- teated elections was a simple but im- portant one, viz, whether or nota parliamentary body is the sole judge of the eligibility of its own members, aad whether in the determination of that question the voice of the major- ity shall rule. A ten days contest with partisan obstruction has settled the question and resulted inthe seating of three republicans and one green- backer, and the ousting of an equal number of democrats, The tardiness with which election cases are adjusted is attracting well deserved comment. At the opening of congress twenty-two claimants for soats appealed for & recognition of their rights, Nearly six months elapsed before the Campbell-Oannon case was decided, Reports have been made to the house in seven cases, and nine are yst pending in committee, This delay is a grave injustice to the individuals directly concerned. It is a still graver injnatice te the constit- uents of lawfully eleoted representa. tives deprived of their rights while a minority eandidate occupies the seat to which he was not elected, and draws pay to what he is not entitled. In several instances men, who had no more title to the wmeat in congress than Chalmers, who was kioked out after voting and speaking for six months, have only been ousted within a few days of the expiration of the session, This uncalled for delay is expensive to the government, An ousted member is generally granted full pay for his services, When the lawfully elected contestant is awarded his seat from which he has been de- barred he is given a sum equal to the salary which he would have drawn from the beginning of the session if there had been no contest, And if a contestant has been unsuccessful con- gross defrays the expenses of his cop- test. The consideration of contested eleotion cases ought to be made the first business of congrees sfter its or- .ganization. Itis due te all parties converned that the determination should be made as quickly as possible. Itis due to the government, which now pays two salaries and in addition often gives & bonus to disappointed and unsuccessful claimants without a shadow of right on the side of their petition, Or Moses Summers, whose fatal hurt in New York has elicited so much sympathetic remark, the Kimira Ad- vortiser says: ‘‘At the call of his country he threw down the editorial pen to take the sword.” This is high- ly figurative, Mr. Summer’s commis- sion was that of paymaster, and though he may have kipt his uccounts with & sword it is rather iwprobable, It is safe to say that all the wounds he ever inflicled were given with a steel pen. — Buffulo Ezpress, Omahs has & score of colonels, ma- jors aud captains who saw less of the Tue Aweriecan Woman BSuffrage assoziation have sent Mrs. Margaret W, Campbell as their agent for six mouths to Nebraska, to aid in secur- ing the adoplion of an amendment which will give suffrage to women on the same {emu as men,— Cleveland Leader, Mrs. Campbell can’t come any too soon, 'The Nebraska woman sufferers are very much in need of now material war of the rebellion than Mr. Sum- mers, and whose fighting was done at long range in the cradle or public nohool. Tar attention of intelligent citizens of our city continues to bedrawn more and more to the bear garden in this town, which respect for law and usage alone compels us to call the common council of Omaha, Under the late addition that was made to it by the hoodlums it well deserves the name of common council, for it is certainly true that a more common set of num- skulls never before disgraced the municipal government of Umaha than the majority that rules in that body. —Herald, We apprehend our present council will compare favorably with any pre- ceding council during the past ten years, The late addition may not suit the Herald but we take it that every man elected lastspring is as com- petent and reputable as the defeated candidates supported by the IHerald. We have had no such scandalous scenes in the council as were en- acted when Hascall, Jim Stephen- son and Barney Shannon had their weekly bouts. On the contrary the present council has been as orderly and respectable inits proceedings as any similar body in any city in the union, But of course they have re- fused to confirm some of Dr. Miller's pets and that makes them all hood- lums. —— TrAT excellent journal, the Phila- delphia Press, reaches our table in an enlarged and greatly improved form, with a new and handsome dress and filled with the freshest news and the brightest correspondence and strong and forcible editorial opinions upon the topics of the day. Within the past year no metropolitan journal has made greater strides than the P ess, which now occupies the position of the best and most influential republi- can newspiper of the Keystone state. The Farmers' Alliance and Politics. Sew.rd Reporter. Many papers of the monopoly stripe throughout the state are continually howling about the Farmers’ Alliance and its connection with politics, asserting that the Alliance properly has nothing to do with politics, and should confine its work to matters of farm interests alone, One would im- agine, from the tone of these papers, that the farmers have nothing to do with politics, and have no interest in the proper admimstration of public affairs. The business of the farmer, as these monopoly organs would seem to indicate, is simply to raiee corn and wheat, breed hogs and cattle, and let the self-sacrificing 1ndividuals who run these newspapers, look after the political interests of the country, The Alliance meetings are regarded by this class of men asa harmless kind of amusement for agriculturists to engage in, so long as they discuss nothing but the best stock of cattle to breed, the amount of grain to sow on an acre, and kindred subjects; but the moment the farmers begin to talk, in the Alliance meetings, of the exorbi- tant rates which they have to pay to got their produce to market, and try to devise some plan to curb the extor- tions of the railroads, these men hold up their hands in holy horror, and ory out that the Alliance is being sub- verted from its original purpose and made a political organization. These papers call themselves ‘‘friends of the tarmers,” and they cannot sit idly by while the farmers neglect their legiti- mate business and talk of how to save a part of their crops from the extor- tions of tho monopolies. No, they cannot, because if they did, the mo- nopolies would withdraw their sup- port from them and then their occa- pation would be gone. Now, it is patent to any observer, that either the editors of such papers do not know lnphlug of the real pur- poses of the KFarmers' Alliance, or else that they are controrled by the monopoly politicians, The Alliance waa {nstituted to enable farmers to act in conoert, in order to accomplish -n( end which might seem to be for their interest. This would undoubtedly include all matters cunnected with m‘ k, eto., but does not neces- ly stop there, There is nothing the constitution of the Alliance, as originally organised, to prevent it from acting as a political organization, or taking cognizance of politics, Ne sooner did the farmers come together and exchange ideas, than it was seen thet they were all of one wind on the subject of the exactions imposed upon them by corporate monopolies. Then, of course, they made an attempt to help themselves, and it is the fear of this attempt prov- ing successful that animates the mono- ly orgaus, the pretended ‘‘farmers’ ?:;andn,” to ery out about the degen- eracy of the Alliance into politics The farmers can afford to let these fol- lows howl; it is an indication that the cause of antimonopoly 1is gaining ground, and that the monopolisis are in fear of being overthrown. The Farmers' Alliance is doing well to discuss ‘politics, and to make itself felt as a political organization, and the day is not far distant when the views it advocates will have to be incor- porated into the platform of ever; political party that hopes to succeed. Representaion of the People. Now York 1 la es. The events of the last week furnish a new illustration of the difficulty of securing a faithful -representation of the will of the ple in the existing condition of tics. The result of the Westbrook investigation and the general character of the legislution of the session which has just closed were certainly not in accordance with the wishes of the mass of honest and intelligent citizens who constitute the body politic of this state. Iufluences were constantly brought to bear upon the legislature which were hostile to the highest public interest, and they reached & body of men who were more strongly swayed by them than by a sense of public duty and of re- sponsibility to the people. 8 There is greater need in these times than ever b:fore of a strict represen- tation of the popular will in all public bodies, Cony ions have so grown in power wealth and are so far controlled by men whose selfish in- terests are in conflict with public and private rights that the people have special need of protection from their encroachments. Corporations engag- ed in the business of transportation serve a most useful and valuable pur- pose, and there ought to be no antag- onism between them and the people with whom they have dealings. No. body desires to ruin or to cripp'e them or to prevent their stockholders from deriving a fair profit from their busi- ness. ut they are controlled by a comparatively small number of men, who are not content with legit- mmate gains or willing to bear a fair share of public burdens. In their efforts to increase their gains and evade their burdens they are disposed to use all the power that wealth gives them. They concentrate it upon the judiciary when their objecta are to be secured by its action, and they direct 1t upon the legislature to gain privi- leges and immunities or to defeat re- strictive or coercive measure intended to protect the rights of the public. They employ the best legal talent in their service, and they subsidire so far a8 they can the men who make a bus- iness of politics. 1f the people can feel no assurance of integrity on the bench or honesty in the legislature, they are certainly in a bad case. ‘@ have seen a struggle to punish judicial dereliction and purge the bench of dishonor utterly defeated. We have seen the contest of an up- right and courageous minority in the legislature in behalf of wise laws and against vorrupt schemes in a large de- gree overborne by the baser elements, Where the interest and the wishes of the people have been in these contro- versies there can be no manner of doubt. The results are not due to a degenerate public sentiment nor a hopeless puglic indifference, but to the failure of the chosen representa- tives of the people to represent them. There are in some communities con- siderable masses of voters who through and lack of civic virtue may be used to sustain schemes of public infamy, but in general the body politic is sound. The people want good gov- ernment, wiso laws, and upright pub lic dealing. They prefer men of ability, integrity, and honor in places of public trust and responsi- bility, and they would vots to put them there 1if they erercised a choice that was neither trammeled nor thwarted by other forces than their own apathy and inca- pacity. Let a vote be taken under conditions that secured a perfcet ex- pression of the popular will and such men as Roosevelt, Sprague, Crane, Robb, Morrison, and Chapin among the representatives of this city and Brooklyn in the late assembly would receive the fullest assurance of public confidence from their constituents re- gardless of party, and the incompe- tent and dishonest corruptionists would be overwhelmed with condem- nation, and yet to day it is a matter of some doubt which of these classes of men stand the better chauce of being again among the nominal representa- tives of the people. There is a power at work in our politics which, to a large extent, de- feats popular representation. The legislature which adjourned on Friday did not represent the people, and hence was not faithful to their inter- ests or obedient to their will When the people really choose their repre- sentatives they will show their prefer- ence for men of character, ability and firmness, who cannot be corrupted or awayed from fidelily to publicinterests, but they will not choose them for any length of time 8o long as the irresponeible and unregulated cau- cus system of nominations is allowed to exist. They must firat of all, by some means sscure in- dependent candidates, independent either in the method of their nomina- tivn or in their known charaoter, and having once obtained a really repre- sentative body of legislators, they must insist on a permanent, legalized method of selecting candidates by pop- ular vote which shall make represen- tation secure in the future. ' They can prevent the failure and disgrace of the institution of free government only by exerolsing their own power and really choosing the men who are to make their laws, proteot their interests, and vindicate their authority over un- worthy officers, if such are discovered in their servi Call For an Anti-monopoly Con- We, the u::«‘rngned citizens of Juniats, Adams county, Nebraska, favor the organization of a state anti-monopoly I e, and hereby suthorize the use of our names for a call for a meeting to be held in Lin- coln for that purpose: W B Cushing 8 L Picard L B Partridge A N Cole E N Crane James Newell J,W Liveringhouse A P Slack E Moore BF Hilton R H Nolan Geo Walker H H Bartle E E Adam H Twidale ¥ E Wilson W L Kilburn F M Anderson W P Norris John T Hull W H Burr W D Belding L B Thorne Geo T Brown C A Antrom S L Brass I R Newell W G Beale W D Sewell A H Brown S H Clark G 8 Guild E F Walker E M Allen 8 O Angell Gee W Carter W Ackley E W Morse 1 M Tapper A Borden F W Eighmy N M Lloyd D H Fleeman Will H Paine C F Hogg The meeting for the formation of a state league will be held at the Acad- emy of Music in Lincoln on Wednee- day, June 21, 1882. EpE——— The *306" Medals Ready. §t. Louis Repu lican, g The historical medals which have been struck off in this city in com- memoration of the ballots cast by the 306 men for General Grant for presi- dent at the Chicago convention, which have been finished for some time, have left the hands ¢f the engraver and are being distributed to the mem- bers of the Old Guard entitled there- to, The business has been involyed in some mys'ery; the lips of the en- graver and hia assistants have been sealed, as it were, and they have been warned agaivst giving any io- formation, But as to the faot of the medals haviog ‘‘changed hands” during the patt week there is no moral doubt, and each of the 306, in- cluding the colored delegates from the southern states, and one who is sup- posed to bo in the penitentiary, will robably receive the medal on which is name is inscribed before the ba- inning of the leafy month of June 'he designers had some trouble in getting a good profile of General Grant, which was finally secared through Colonel Fred Grant, who got his father to sit for a photograph, which 1s the one cut on the medals. The medals are composed of a dark rich bronze, and are one inch and three-fourths in diamater, with the edge perfectly round, smocth and unmilled. On one side is a profile of Grant, and underneath and extending round the head is a wreath of leaves, and around ail this is a raised ocircle of which are engraved the thirty-six bal- lots for Grant, the record beginning at the bottom and going round the circle meets again, the last ballot, 306, coming in contact with the flrst ballot, 304 (voter). Outside this record and along the rim is a flour de lis, which completes the profile side of the medal. On the obverse side the cen- tral portion is inscribed with a circle, and within is the following inscrip- tion: COMMEMORATIVE OF THE THIRTY-SIX BALLOTS oF THE OLD GUARD TOR ULYSSES 8. GRANT POR PRESIDENT, REPUBLICAN NAT/ONAL CON: VENTION, Chicago, June, 1880, The upper and lower lines are on the arc of a circle, and the rest are straight.

An Animal That Wouldn't Think of Going Into or Near a Iire, Rocha'er Post-Expre s, Rochester is the possessor of the only living salamander row in this country. This wonderful natural curi- osity was secured im Japan by Profes- sor Henry A, Ward and brought home under his personal supervision. The salamander of fable is one of the big- gest frauds on record. A famous maker once named his safes after the salamander to indicate theirindestruc- tible composition, butit is to be feared that if they could not endure fire more readily than the salamander, as he really exists, none of their num- ber would be found again after a fire. Bat the very fact that so much romancing has been done about the wonderful endurance of this monster, makes him an object of unusual in- terest. The specimen in question, which was viewed by a Post-Express reporter shortly after its arrival, is called the Gigantic -Salamander or Sieboldia Maxima. It was named in honor of Dr. Von Europe and placed it in a tank at Leyden, where it passed & period of many years in cap- tivity. 1Its length was about a yard, and it is stated that two specimens were brought oyer at the same time by Dr. Siebold, but the mile unfortu- nately killed his intended bride and ate her up, leavitg himself to pass the remainder of his life in celibacy. It may be stated as a coincidence the Professor Ward also started from Japan with two salamaners- one a male, the other a femalo—and that the female in this iustance also came to an untimely end on the voyage. But her death was not due to any can- vibalisty trait in the character of the male, but rather to the fact that the water with which her tub was replen- ished upon one unfortunate occasion was too warm for her oconstiution, The sad event took place one day be- fore the steamer lunded at San Fran- cisco. The survivor measures thirty inches in length, and is apparently full grown. 8o far from longing for a Wath in a fiery furnace, this one can- not endure even the mildest form of heat or light. When brought from the dark recesses of the cellar in which it is temporarily housed, it oreeps into the darkest corner of the tub in which it is confined. It has four legs with rounded toes, which re- mind one of the fingers of the rag- babies in Nast's cartoons. Its tail is long and resembles that of a lizard, and its soft skin is of a pale brown color, with darker markings. Itsheadis large and flattened, being wider than any part of its body. On the fore part of its head it has small dull eyes, which, unlike the jewels in the head of the toad, do not relieve the gen- eral ugliness. Its entire body is coy- ered with warty excrescences. The preseut specimen, has not eaten any- thing several weoks, the appetite of salamanders bewng very irregular. They feed chiefly on fish, which de- spite their sluggish behavior, they are able to catch, They also devour other animal rubstances, Both Lydia E.
