ROSEWATER,ZEditor, My, Goutp says that money is no longer an object and that wrecking roads has become merely a pleasant pastimo. Mr. Gould is in a fair way to become a professional humorist of large dimensions. Mr. Latep still preserves an undigni- fied silence in the face of charges which are either slanderous or serious in the extreme. Mr. Laird owes it to himself and to his constituents to make a prompt explanation. Crrizexs of Nebraskaare not interested in having a Democratic or a Republican suprome bench, but they are interested in securing judges who cannot be bribed by railroad favors or bulldozed by cor- poration threats and whose standing and ability will be guarantoes of a proper porformance of the responsible duties of their position. Wiru Senator Logan threatening to throw Sitting Bull into irons and Senator Vest's daring Flathead Charlos to the fray our senators seem to be using the vacation to some advantage in keeping their names before an admiring country. But then bulldozing captive Indians is not as difficult a job as engaging in able debate with one's equals. A noy fifteen years old died the other day from excessive cigarette smoking. His heart coased to perform its functions from sheer weakness. This is a warning which is not likely to be heeded. The great majority of manufactured cigarettes are doctored and drugged with death- dealing materials whose certain effect is to seriously impair the nervous system of those who use them. Twe Ohio democracy are growing bluer and bluer as election approaches and Hoadly's defeat is conceded in several in- fluential quarters. Wash McLean's op- position to Judge Hoadley is generally considered as the ground. of the differ- ences which are now splitting the Ohio bourbons. McLean is the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer and hates Pendleton with a mortal hatred, The friencship of Hoadly for the senator is the roci in the path of his support by McLean, who profers the defeat of the democratic party to the success of his personal enomy. Meantime democratic journals which two months ago were jubilating over the pros- Ppects of a certain victory are preparing to hang crape on their front door knobs and the unknown Foraker is prancing through the state on a stumping tour which is lorgely increasing his acquamtance with voters and his chances for an old time Ohio majority. The letter of the International Work- man's association to the New York Work- ingmen denouncing Denis Kearnoy as a traitor to the cause of labor is a well merited rebuke to the San Francisco blatherskite and places hin in his true position before the laboring classes of the country. It declares that Kearnoy is in the pay of the monopolists; that ho has not done an honest day's work in five years; that his expenses during his last trip east were defrayed by capitalists and that photographs of receipts given by him for money received as bribes can be pro- duced if called for. Now that the labor- ing men have found Kearnoy out his oc- cupation will be gone. Ho was long ago discarded by the San Francisco labor unions and his attempt to play second fiddle to the California railroad sharks on his late eastern tour was exposed before it began, The honest laboring men of the country have no longer any use for men of the Kearney stamp. ‘Tae brilliant editors and rural roosters who are busily engaged in reading Tur Bee out of the Republican party will have their labor for their pains, Tur Bee stands on a platform which these gentle- men are not competent to criticise. It believes that an honest democrat is bet- ter than a dishonest republican every day in the week and every week in the year, It holds that those men are best for the country who will serve best the intrests of the citizens irrespect- ive of what party they affiliate with, It refuses and will hereafter refuse to sup- port or endorse any soeker after offico, be he Republican or Democrat, who has betrayed his official trust or assisted oth- ers to defeat the will of the people at the polls or in positions of ofiicial respousi- bility. While now as in the past, fully in accord with the best Republican sen- Tus Bef timent lays no claim %> being sufticiently of a party organ to palliste or apologize for the misdoings of the Re- publican ringsters or to support Republi- oan organizations which are used as a shield for the designs of corporate mono- polies. In local issues Tre Bee is for tho best wman every time, regardless of party. This is a platform which we can hard- ly expect to see endorsed by the rail- road cappers and monopoly mimics who train in the wake of the Republican, b ut for all that it will receive the endorse- ment of the sober minded and thinking voters of this city aud State. —— 14, 1883, ROUND WIRFES, UNDER Capt. . V | Corps, on duty at Washington, has put a | noteworthy endorsement upon the appli- 0 new poles in the streets there: “Not recommended. In place of set- ting new and larger r-lu, this trunk line should be placed under ground without delay.” 1f, as is also intimated, Major Lydeck- or and Capt. Green are proceeding to jus- tify this conclusion by examining plans for underground telegraphing, with a view to practical experiments in it, they will be of atill more service to the Wash- ington people. In Philadelphia and Chieago thero are already short working underground lines.—N. Y. Sun, The pole and wire nuisance is attract- ing attention in other citios Washington. Sooner or later the right of telegraph, telephone and electric light companies to monopolize our streets and besides citizons will become an issue in Omaha Every firo shows the danger to life which is threatened by a network of wires in front of steres and residences. 1n Milwaukee numerous lives were lost by the obstruction which the telegraph wires offered to the use of fire and ladders in front of the ill fated New- In Omaha both sides of Farnam stroct and the adjoining alleys are blockaded by a forest of poles and escapes hall house. wires which are strung in front and to the rear of our business buildings and our leading hotel. It cannot long re- main a question whether or not the wires and poles must go. So long as underground telegraphy was an unsolved problem the people were disposed to submit to what seemed to be necessity, even at the cost of disfigure- ment to the city and of danger to the lives of its inhabitants. Dut Chicago has solved the problem and the under- ground conduits of the postal telegraph company have proved that such a system is not only practicable, but in the end cheaper to the companies. It may be soveral years yet bofore public sentiment is aroused sufliciently to demand the re- moval of the poles and the placing of all wires in underground conduits, but the time must come before long. The publie has some rights which even corporations are bound to respect, and they will assert them the moment they are assured that such an assertion will work no private injury, and will secure a great public benefit. WuiLk Dorsey is revamping his stale lies against the dead Garfield, the charges that the last star-route jury was bribed are taking shape, and it is now asserted that at least three jurors are involved, that the amount paid each is known, and that their purchaso was made with Dor- soy's money. It is said that the total amount it cost him to escape conviction was larger than the government's ex- pense for special counsel. The grand jury at Washington, which meets Octo- ber 8, will have the facts before them. SeurnerN republicans, which means southern office-holders, are organizing for their usual raid on the next national con- vention, and from this time until next June, Washington will be visited by throngs of pilgrims with disinterested suggestions for redeeming various states from Bourbon musrule. All will agree that the work of political regeneration can only be accomplished by an abund- ance of soap.

W. Savage for the Judge of the Supreme Court by the Anti-Mono- poly convention just held at Grand Is- land may cause surprise to many of you, he having previously been nominated by the Democratic party; and it is possible that some may charge that there has been collusion and an attempt to form a coalition botween the two partics. Such is not the case. The nomination was the spontaneous act of the delegates to the Anti-Monopoly convention, . after free consultation with other, uninflu- enced by outside pressure and unso- licited by Judge Savage or his friends. Somo of the considerations which in- fluenced the convention not w present a third candidate for Supreme Judge were as follows: 1st, It was generally thought that the nomination of a third candidate at this time would result in the election of the Republican nominee, whoever he might be, and it is well known somo of the most devoted henchmen of the corporations are aspirants for the l(eYubliuuu nomination. 2nd. The gen- cral belief that the court, as at present constituted, is a partisan court and is in- fluenced in its decisions by the intensely partisan atmosphere surrounding it had reat weight with the convention, The ogates expressed their conviction that this tribunal should be non-partisan, and that a man of irreproachable character, who was not identified with the domi- nant party, would be most likely to elo- vate it to that high plane upon which the people wish it to stand. 3rd. The delegates considered that in making this nomination they would show plainly to the l.u..i.lu of this State that the Anti- Monopoly party was animated more by an ewrnest desire for good government and & pure iudlcmry. and o rescue this high oftice from tho control of u party which has become the willing tool of cor- porations, managers and contract thieves, than by the wish to build up their own party by a purely partisan contest.

In the matter of this great judicial office let us ourselves rise above partizanship and place this court above the reach of partizanship.

P. B. Reynolds, president, of Hamil- ton county, occupied the chair, and J. Burrows acted as secretary. Upon the election of officers, P. B. Reynolds was re-elected president, and Charles H. Madely, of Adams county, was elected secretary. Mr. Madely has since declined to serve, and Mr. Burrows will act as secretary ad interim until the executive committee can fill the vacancy. Mr. Burrows was tendered the office of secretary by a unanimous vote, but he absolutely declined to accept the position for a fourth term. Upon his retirement the followi olution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in accepting the resig- nation of Capt. J. Burrows and his posi- tive refusal to again accept the responsi- ble position of Secretary of the State Alliance, we feel that the State Alliance has met with a loss; and,while we pledge our confidence in and hearty support of the new Secrotary, we unanimously ex- press our earnest and heartfelt thanks to Capt. Burrows for his efficient, faithful, unselfish and untiring work. Hon. Wm. Blakely, of Gage County; Hon. Allen Root, of Douglas County, and Hon. A. A. Stedwell, of Buffalo County, were unanimously elected Vice- Prokicnts for the ensuing year. Hon, H. C. Bigelow, of Thayer Coun- ty; J. H. Powers, of Hall County, and W. A. Pointer, of Boone County, were elected members of the executive com- mittee, and H. C. Bigelow wasre-elected chairman of the same. The constitution was amended so as to continue the oftice of Secretary and Treasurer in one person, and for holdin the annual meeting in January instea of September. The committee on resolutions, consist- ing of Messrs. Blakeley, Powers, Dodd, Hawthorn and Burrows, reported a reso- lution reaffirming the adhesion of the State Alliance to the Hastings platform, which was unanimously ndopmf. It was resolved to hold a special meet- ing at Kearney, Buffalo county, in Janu- ary next, and the delegates from that county premised to furnish a hall to the Alliance free, and to secure proper ac- commodations for the delegates. After which the Alliance adjourned to meet in Kearney in January, 1884, The meeting was harmonious through- out. The delegates were men of high personal characters, and evinced a strong determination to maintain and sustain the Farmers' Alliance. (official.) P. B.

At sundown yesterday a man was car- ried over the falls. Who he was is not known. His dress and appearance indi- cated respectability, and after he got into the rapids his self-possession was extra- ordinary. His boat was a very good one, decked over the bow, and, I should think, would carry threo er four tons. No other than a person unacquainted with the current above the rapids would venture so near them. I was on the head of Goat Island when I firat discov- ered the boat, then near half a mile be- low the foot of Navy Island, and nearly two miles above the falls, There seemed to be two in the boat. 1t was directed toward the American shore—the wind blowing from the shore, and the sail was still standing. Being well acquaint- ed with the river, I regarded the position of the boat as extraordinary and hazard- ous, and watched it with intense anxiety. Soon 1 discovered the motionof an oar, aud, from the changing direction of the boat, concluded it had but one. While constantly approaching nearerand nearer tho rapids, N i e gain- ing the American shore, and by the time B TR | i ids, half a mile above Goat Island, it was directly above the island, There it was turned up the river, and for some time the wind kept it nuurl{. stationary. The only hope seemed to be to come directly to Goat Isiand, and whether I should run half a mile to give an alarm, or re- main to assist in case the boat attempted to make the island, was a question of painful doubt. But soon the boat was again turned toward the American shore, Then it was certain that it must go down the American rapids, I ran to the bridge, rallied a man at the tollgate, and we ran to the main bridge in time to see the boat just before it got to the first large fall in the rapids. Then I saw but one man—he standing at the stern with his oar changing the course of the boat down the current, and as it plunged over he sat down. 1 was aston- ished to see the boat rise, with the mast still standing, and the man again erect directing the boat forward to the shore. As he came to the next and each suc- ceeding fall he sat down, aud then would rise and apply his oar in the intermediate current. Stll, there was hope that he would come near enough to the pier to jump, but in a moment it was gone. Another, that he might jump upon the rock mear the bridge; but the current dash the bridge, breaking the mast. rose on the opposite side, main shore, he cried: jump from the boatt” tion, it has no power to protect the treasury of Self-Pessession of a 1 ed him from 1t under Again he Taking his oar, and pointing his boat toward the | i “Had I better We could not an- swer, for either seemed certain destruc- Within a few rods of the falls the boat struck a rock, turned over and The Weak and the Impure, « The merry little mountain brook, as it lightly dances over the rocks and sparkles in the sunshine on its way down to the river, is pure and fdean, It is active; therefore, it is ealthy. It is vigorous; therefore, it resists impurity. But the sluggish pool, where the current is nofstrong enough to keep the water in motion, is stagnant and foul. Dirt and rubbish are thrown into it, and stay there. Impurities and vile odors make it a breeder of disease and an object to be avoided. When the blood is strong and rich and red, and vigorously courses its accustomed rounds througu arteries and veins, the system is hearty and healthy. When the blood is thin and poor and weak, impurities and defilements creep into it, and it has no strength to cast them out, Then the system runs down, Brown'’s Iron Bitters contains the only preparation of iron which can enrich the blood, and make it pure, vigorous, and healthy.
