It is appendix. e Mus, Braxk, who is resisting prohibi- tion in Masshalltown, Towa, is kicking up & blankety blank row in that other- wise peaceful town.

ADIRONDACK MURRaY, who used to deal out spiritual focd from a Boston pulpit, is now supplying something more substantial in the food line. He is now running a restaurant in Montreal, Kasson Joux A, nizes tho fact that his appointment as minister to Germany was made in the in- Hox, recog- terest of the American hog. Mr. Kasson says he proposes, before going to Ger- many, to thoroughly study up the sub- Ject of hogology. Mur. RosewaTer’s figures of speech are about as good as his figures on elec- tion majorities.— Republican. If Frank E. Moores and Caspar E. Yost had taken Rosowater's figures on election majorities instend of trusting to Dorsey and bull luck, they would not have been s0 much out of pocket. RosEWATER is not satisfied with a gov- ernor who serves tho people. He wants agovernor to serve him. Putty, not brains, is Rosewater’s favorite commod- ity for the exccutive chair.— Republican. If the present incumbent represents brains, we don’t want any more brains, Give us some putty, such as Senator Van ‘Wyck and General Thayer are made of. REGENT GERE, of the state university, entertained the Blaine and Logan club of Lincoln, with a six column speech. It was the greatest effort of his life, and he can now die happlly. If the audience did not go to sleep over it, we venture to say that they are opium proof, and could stand a mid-summer wsermon on the thirty-nine articles of faith. CLEVELAND is still reading the demo- cratic platform. When ho wades through it, in two or three weeks, ho will begin work on his letter of acceptanco. Tom. Hendricks will probably re-sub- mit his letter of 1876, with a post script to the eflect thathe wants itdistinetly un- derstood that he does not want to be un- deratood. — Wane Hanperon s now credited by several ignorant newspapers with having lost a leg in the civil war. It is true that he lost a leg, but it was long after the war of the rebellion had closed. He was kicked by an uncivil mule, and the loss of his leg [followed, A somowhat similar mistake was mado with reforence to General Powell Clayton’s missing arm. At the national republican con- vention it was tho prevailing opinion that he had lost it in the war, while the fact is that he lost it by accident several years 220, in making the acquatntance of a threshing machine, Tur feclings of the survivors of the Greeley expedition, upon hearing the welcome blasts of the steam whistle in the frozen regions, must have been those of supreme joy. Had it not been for the ‘whistle of the steam launch the discovery of the party might have been delayed antil too late. Certainly the steam whistle has played an important part in the rescue of the Groeeley party, and the survivors will never forget its unexpect- ©d and inquiring blasts calling them from their tent to raise the signal flag of dis- Sross. mfit new telegraphic combination is & ed fer 22,000,000, and claims to control a mileage in wire equall to one-third of that of the Western Union, By the time it has an equal mileage with the Western Union, if it ever does get there, the rival telegraph monopoly will be stocked for §66,000,000, and possibly for $100,000,000, as it managers claim that they propcse to eclipse the Westeru Union in every respect. The market value of Western Union, with its sixty millions of water, is a littlo over fifty cents on the dollar, and the rival con- solidatien has a larger proportion of water * init than Jay Gould'selectric water spout. ‘Withsuchboguscompetitionin telegraphy the American people are systamatically taxed to pay dividends upon millions of watered stock, which the stock job bers and Wall street gamblersare allowed 0 set afloat without restraint.

BLAINE In his letter of acceptance the republi- can candidate for the presidency has formulated his viewson the issuco that divide the Amerlean people. TIn the main these views are strictly in accord with the traditions of the party and the platform adopted by the republican na- tional convention. Without the least at- tempt at rhotoric, Mr. Blaine, in & plain matter of fact document, deals at length with almost every question that has en- grossed public attention since the reconstruction era. He plants himself squarely in favor of a protective tarifl policy as being conducive to the prosper ity of the manufasturer, the workingman, 1 indirectly of the agriculturist. Mr. Blaine gives greater prominence to the- tarifl issue than to any other question, and ho evidently regards this question as paramount in the coming campaign. While his ultra protection views will no doubt meet the unqualified approval east of tho. Alleghanies and beyond the Rock- ien, the vast region covered by:the prai- rio states of the west, from Missouri to Minnesota and from Illinois to Colorado, doos ngt share the fears which Mr, Blaine oente i with regard totariff reform. The ropublicans of tho west are by no means fros traders, but they believe that the republican party acted wisely when through its congress and its chiof execu- tive it reduced taxation by revising the tariff. Every intellient American will concede that American industry has been fostered and developed within the past twenty years by the protective policy, but many of the infant industries fostered by the tariff are no longer in an infantile condition, and others have completely outgrown all artificial props. This was the view held by a very respectable minority of the national convention. Out of the forty-two membors of the committee on resolutions, eighteen were outspoken in favor of revenue reform through a reduction of the protective du- tios that are now imposed. Mr. Blaine is eminentfy sound on the labor issue, and the policy of reserving the public domain for actual settlers, The American workingman cannot expect gnod wages from the policy of excluding articles of foreign manufacture. If pro- tection is to prorect him against pauper labor in Burope and Asia, we must pro- vent the importation of the pauper labor- ers of the old world. Mr. Blaine very clearly defines his foreign policy. 1t will be his aim to seek tho conquests of psace, by extending our commerce to our nearest meighbors in Mexico and South America, and keeping clear of all entanglements with European nations, by sustaining such relations as will insure international amity and peace. Mr. Blaine in a very terse sentence de- clares that ‘‘citizenship of the republic must bo the panoply and safoguard of him who wears it. The American citi- zom, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, must Jeverywhere walk secure in his personal and civil rights. The republic should never accept a les- sor duty, it can never assume a nobler one, than the protectionof tho humblest man whp owes a loyalty—protection at home, and protection which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful errand.” Mr. Blaine very wisely concludes that the time has gone by for waving the bloody shirt and he addresses himself to the south in the most kindly oxpressions of good will and friendship. Instead of fighting over the battles of the rebellion he oudeavors to heal the scars by en- couraging the material development of tho natural resources of the southern states, Civil sorvice reform Mr. Blaine re- gards as an essontial policy for tho offi* cient conduct of public affairs. He re- peats the dogma laid down by Rutherford B. Hayes, in his letter of acceptance, that congressmon should not control fod oral appointments, and ho goes even so far as to promiso that all competent em ployes and oflicers shall be retained dur ing good behavior, Tu breaks in tho Farnam streot pave- ment are a forcible reminder to the board of public works that there must bo more systematic aud thorough workdone in the paving of business streots to provent noedloss delays and exponsive repairs. The laying ot water and gas mains and sewer conuections should all have beon done with the greatest care under proper supervision. No trenches should be cut in the street without special permit after reasonable notice has been served on the gas and water companies and property owners to make these connections. 1t is an unmitigated nuisance, if not an out- rage, to allow Farnam stroet to be cut up at this time when more than two months have elapsed since the street was torn up for sewer and gas connections, A rad- lcal reform is also necessary in the construction of streetrailroads. When the property owners on any stroet direct the council to contract for paving with any particular material, the contracts should cover the entire street. 1f the material to be used between the railroad tracks is to be dilferent (rom the rest of the street, as is the case where asphaltum is used, the contractor should be required to do the paving under the direction of the board of public works, The idea that the street railway company should be al- lowed to choose its own time, its own method of material, and its own paving. just because it is required to pay for this paving, is contrary to public policy and common What would be said if every property owner should insist on taking his own time, selocting hls own material, and doing the paving in front of his his premises, regardless of public con- venience or uniformity! As long as the street railroad is allowed to do inferior woik, with poor waterial, by fits and sense, —————————————————————————— starts, there will be no end to breaks in the pavement and damaging obstructions. ——— chief of the national bureaun of labor sta- tistics, now finds himself inhot water and linble to lose his appointment, Mr, Jar- ret is charged with having said, at & political meeting, that President Arthur was botter fitted to be the scullion at Delmonico’s than to be in the White house. Jarrett, however, denies that he mado sny such romark, but admits that he did say that President Arthur _was better in giving state dinners than dis- charging the duties of president—that brains was needed at the White house- and that President Arthur was better for the head of Delmonico’s than for the presidency. Mr. Arthur has probably como to the -conclusion that brains are needed in the bureau of labor statistics, and consequently President Jarret is not likely to get the place after all, but will haveto continue traveling for a Pittsburg tin-plato house. It is vuite likely now that President Arthur will appoint Mr. Powderly, who will prove satisfac- tory to the workingmen of the United States, in whose interests ho has long been actively engaged as an agitator. 1t was probably Mr. Powderly who put that flea in the presidential ear. Tue Herald informs the democracy “‘that at Buflalo, where Cleveland is best known, an impromptu ratification drew out almost) the entire town.” *‘Main street,” says the Herald, ‘“‘was ablaze with pyrotechnics and one thousand men with torchos paraded the strects.” That shows conclusively that the democrats of Buffalo are not as enthusiastic as the fol- lowers of the glorious nine in Nebraeka. with & population of 200,000 only 1,000 citizens of Buffalo paraded in honor of ythe home made statesman. Whon Horatio Seymour visited the Queen City of the Lakes during the campaign of 1868 more than 16,000 uniformed men paraded the streets, twelve abreast, in torch light procession, and the first ward of Buffalo alone rallied to the number of 3,500. Times have changed, and what would have been regarded as a most insignificant demonstration in the Seymour and Grant campaign is now heralded as a most tre- menduous outburst of popular enthusiasm judges of the Chicago courts have decided upon a change of court hours. Beginning with the opening of the fall terms, the courts will open at 11 a. m., and one hour is to be devoted to the hearing of motions. At 1 p. m. trials will be taken up and a continuous session until 5 o'clock devoted exclusively to trials by jury. In this way jurorsand witnesses will have the entire forenoon for private business, and will find court work much less onerous than under the old system. Lawyers, too, will have the morning for consultation and preparation of cases, The time actually spont in court by the judges will be the same as heratofore, only the greater portion of it will be in the afternoon session. It surikes us that this plan is an improve- ment upon the old system, aud that it possesses advantages that are worthy of consideration by the judges and members of the bar in Omaha. @Sixce the importation of liquors has become unlawful in Towa the demand for “hardware” has increased 500 per cont among the wholesale dealers in Omaha, Mr. F. B. Kennard, formerly a wholesale druggist in Omaha who has temporarily retired from busincss, says that during the last two weeks he received numerons orders from former customers in Towa for wines and liquors to bo shipped, according to directions, as hardwaro, They must bo opening a great many kogs of nails over in lowa at this time. This s has to nail the campaign lies of course. Mz, E West Point paper enters a most solemn protest sgainst Mr, Valentine's retirement from publiclife.

Mr. Valentino will probatly consont to serve his country once more, if, as it now seems, 1o other man can be found in the district capable of filling his brogans, Di. Geonrae L. Mitieg, editor of the Omaha Herald and bosom friend of 8. J. Tilden, expreeses satisfaction with the national democratic platform. This is equivalont to saying that the republican majority in Nebraska will be reduced to 15,000 this year, —Chicago Netws, Just the reverse. Whenever Dr, Mil- ler “‘expresses satisfaction,” the republi- can majority goes booming. The chances now are that Blalne’s majo in Ne- braska will be from 30,000 to 35,000, Mz, Braxe points with pride to the fact that while he was & member of con- gress overy boy recommended to West Polnt from his distrlot,was chosen on com- potitive examination and not by personsl favoritism, This is in striking contrast with the policy pursued by Judge Wea: ver, the member from this diatrict. SiNce the return of the Greeley expe- dition the weather bureau has lost control of itself and the elements. General Hazen is giving this part of the country too much water at present.

We were going past the street car stables on Cuming street, when the cash collector stepped into the oar, unlocked the cash drawer, and emp- tied about & pint of dimes and nickles into his big tin box, ‘Mamma.' said the little girl, ‘I think a street car is a great big contribution box on whe Y e remark of course caused a smile among the passengers, and the mother evidently felt very proud of her smart little daugh- ler.” *x ——““Lieutenant Greeley, tho com- mander of the rescued arctic expedition,” said alt old settler, ‘‘was formerly a resi- dent of Omaha, He was the signal officer here in 1871, and was a member of the Omaha chess clab. He wasan excellent chess-player. Many of the citizens re- member him, and all unite in praising him on account of his gentlemanly and manly qualities. Lieutenant Lockwood, who was one of the unfortunate members of the expedition, he ;having died last April, was also onca located in Omaha He belonged to the Twenty-third infan- try regiment, and was stationad at Fort Omahs for abomt four years. He left here in 1876. During his residence in Omaha Lieutenant Lockwood made many friends.” K’t ——"“Omaha is a poorhorse town,"said a gentlo who is interested in horse flesh. “‘For years no horse races of any account have taken place here, and all efforts to make thisa racing town have proved unsuc- cessful. The recent races were the best weever had. There were some good horses here and the races werewell worth witness- ing, but the attendauce was slim,and asa consequence the association lost consider- able money. I think it was about $1,- 500. This is certainly discouraging and I don’t believe the new association will make another attempt.

The pav- ing of the streets isa big thing. Omaha is now one of the best paved cities in the country. Everywhere her roputation for enterprise and solidity is rated £, 1.” * K ——“Everybody knows Nat. Goodwin, the comedian,” said an east-bound Union Pacific passenger to the Boe's Man About Town, *‘Nat. is a great gambler. Gam- bling is one of his greatest ‘hobbies,” and while I was in San Francisco & tew days ago he had a run of good luck, followed by a run of bad luck. In a gamo of cards with a fellow named Ed. Morris, he won $5,000. Shortly after this Godwin and Morris met in a bar-room, and Morris challenged Godwin to shake dice. The challenge was accepted, and they shook for $200 a shake, using only one die. It was nip and tuck for a while, but finally the goddess of fortune smiled favorably upon Morris who won $5,000, when Goodwin threw up his hands and stated that he didu’t have enough money to settle. He paid $1,000 down, and gave three notes for the balance, one being for $1,000 on demand, another for $1,600 payable in three months, and another for a similar smount, payable in six months, Morris transferred the notes to another party, who went to Goodwin's hotel to collect the demand note, but Goodwin had gone to Santa Oruz, and from there east. Goodwin was arrested at Elko on the charge of attempting to leave the state with intent to dofraud his oreditors, but by deposit- ing §1,100 with the skeriff, which he did under ' protest, he was allowed to pro- ceed.,” **x ——*On the 4th of July I was on my way, to Chicago to attend the national democratic convention,” said a prominent Omaba politician, “‘and while passing through Towa I fell into conversation with an old gentleman who apparently was about 70 years of age, who was on Ius Jway from California to his eastern home. The tonic of conversation was prohibition, which went into effoct tn lowa on that day, I maintained that the high license system was much more sat- isfactory, and T gave him the points bout the working of the systom in No- braska. Ho, however, was a strong ad- vocate of prohibition, and ho was glad to o that the people of lowa had adopted it. Just about this this time he was seized with a violont fit of coughing, and a gentleman, sitting several seats distant, who had not heard tho old gentleman's advocacy of prohibiticn, came up and kindly offered him a drink of whisky from @ pocket flask. The offer was po- litely declined, and the gentleman re- turned to his seat. ‘He would not have thought of inviting me to drink,’ said the old man, ‘had he known that my name is John B. Gough.'"” LITERARY NOTES. The North American Review for Aug- ust contains an article by Justice James V.

A Woman Suddenly Goes Mad on a Un‘on Pacifie Train, Denver News, A sad case of insanity was brought to the attention of the county commission- ors yosterday. Owen Dillon a man ap- parently in moderate cirenmstances, but quite honest and well meaning, to judge by his appearance, came hero a day or two ago from Baltimoro, On_his ~ way here from Omaha he says his wife became violently insane whilo they were riding on a train on the Union Pacific railroad. The Sisters’ hospital here declined to re- ceive her, probably feeling unable to take care of an insane patient. He ac- cordingly applied to Chalrman Bates, who gavehim a permit to carry her to the county hospital. ! The woman's name is Joanna \Dillon and she is a large Irish woman with per- fectly gray hair and apparently between 45 and 50 years ifnotolder. Thoe husband is smaller, shorter person than his wifo. They wero on their way to San Francisco, ho says, when tho calamity occurred, He says he was formerly a saloon keeper in Baltimore, but he has been out of the business. i Of his wife's insanity there can be lit- tle doubt, to judge from her conduct in the county commissioner’s offico yester- day. She talked wild and at times inco- herently. Her mind seemed to dwell on some horrible murder, in which boys springing up through trap doors formed a leading feature. This is probably the delusion of an iusane mind. She was without hat or head covering when she came into the court house and went out on the arm of a man supposed to bea relative going in a_hack to the county hospital, accompanied by this man and her husband. — Butler's Vigorous Remarks Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
