JORNSON'S BLOODY MOON. he Political Luna Thereabouts Bespatterad With Faotion Gore- CANDIDATES THICK AND UGLY Scnatorial Aspirants and Would-be epresentatives in the Field— The Van Wyck Issue—~The Fight at Sterling. Peceser, Neb., August 16.—[Corres pondence of the Bek.]—There is a full political moon down in_these parts—ail with blood. Johnson has al noun tunate county, polit fcally speaking ver received anything worth receiving, Itis true that Hon. C. A. Holmes was regent of the state university two or threc terms, but other than that, Johnson has always been slighted. The county has been as rich in candidates, all the time, however, as Church Howe n promises, Judges, con- covered ways been having ne gressmen and governors have developed here on short notice, hummed their little hum, disappeared and were forgotten, Factional fights have even hurt the town's property. From a REPUBLICAN MAJORITY of five or six hundred, a few years ago, misunderstandings and quarrels have re- duced the majority to such a small figure that the democrats about haif the time elect their man. Last fall D. R. Bush was beaten for treasurer by George Gutavern, a democrat, and for no other reason than that onal strife and vetty jealousies interfered. And the struggle for supremacy still goes on This year a wrangle that even amazes tho “oldest inhabitant™ is on, with no assur- ance where it will stop or what the out. come will be. DEW AND HOLMES will contest their politieal strength be- fore the convention as candidates for the state senate from the senatorial district composed of Johnson and Pawnee coun ties. Tihis strange and almost unholy alliance with certain politicrans is thio outcome ot personal anmmosity be e proiessed “leaders.” ‘I'ne DAVIDSON AND Al 3 factions have long been regarded as the two ‘“pawns’’ striving tor success and demanding recognition. J. S. Dew has always been allied with the Davidson faction. This year the Appl: faction takes “Jake as itsstandard bearer, hop- ing thereby to be successful in the skir mish and “with the same stone weaken the other side. After hearing Van Wyck’s explanation, yesterday, on the Union Pacific bill, Mr. Dew informed me that he was now satisfied with Van Wyck's course, and told me that he was for him the second Mr., Dew was in the house six years ago and on the lnst lot voted for Van W . ‘The issue in this county will unquestion- ably be Van Wyck or anti-Van Wyek, and as Mr. Holmes is quoted as being bitterly opposed to the senior_senator, fur will fly from and in al dircetions. Mr. Holmes has tacked onto his form the two hobbies: Woman sufirage and prohibition. In lis views on these two questions, no man ean doubt his sin- cerity, but to be popular it 15 nceessary to lay aside such things. However, both men have many strong friends, and redict the contest will be close and heated. ANOTHER FIGHT is on at Sterling, tius county. L. A. Var- and W. M. Rothell will contest for logislutive laurels. Mr. Varner repre- sented Johnson county two years ago in the house. A new paper has been started in Sterling tor the designed purpose of booming one or the other of these candi- didates, and the Press there will w! it up for the other. This will make blood, and the democrats are ki their weather eyes tupned that way, have a halfliving hope-that th build successfully on the ruin this strog- gle will_cause. ~ Another sad collision Dappening on the republican track is that of Henry and Osgood. Mr. Osgood is the prosent proseeuting attorney. That oftice having been abolished, he aspires to the position of county attorney. On the sometimes regarded rule of “‘two-term’’ theorists, Usgood’s many friends demand that he shall have the office. On the othor hand, Henry wants it, and says he he is qualified; and the aifference in their claims is the second term—gzen- erally conceded Whether other places have furmshed Van Wyck large audiences I do not know, but Monday afternoon when the g.l-m-r..l spoke here fully six hundred peo- ple a: where they listened to the spe great interest.

Van Wyck will address the people of Cass and adjoining counties at our fair, Our fair, which opens September 21st and continues four days, will be one of the finest yet held.

J. M. M. ——— Road Grabbers in Western Nebraska. Kerrn CounNty, Neb., August 16.- [To the Eaitor of the Bre: The fences illegally inelosing the public domain, about which so much fuss was made last year, were at most a temporary evil, as the ownward march of settlers was sure, sooner or later, to cause their removal, but thero is a worse form of illega) fene- ing practised exclusively in some of the wastern counties along the Platte rivor. Worse, because the fences and incon- vemience will, unless something 15 done, last forever. The fences to which I re- fer are those erected across the old high roads on both banks of the Platte. The valley of the Platteis a great natural thoroughtare, and has been o used from time immemorial. The Indians had their trails along the river banks, the old French traders nearly sixty years ago traveled back and forth along the Plat the 49s, the Mormons, the Pike's Peak miners, the government troops and supply trains for the different forts, the government myil, the pony express, all DPassed over these roads which were thus v ro dedieated to public use and have been opened ever since. The roads existed before the government surveys were made and on the government plats th l'iuu|~ are clearly located and indi- cuted, At many points along the Platte, the blufls approuclevery near to the water, leaving but a narrdw passage botween, partly occupied by the Union Pacific road. At other places the valley broken by marshes, lagoons, sand ines, so that the old histori- not only the oldest but the best possible road, and of all the roads in tho state tho miost important, ns other roads are locad, white this is a local and fonal, it is « through road, and along it each year thousands of nome seckers, with their prairie sehooners, pass and re’ pass on their way, not only to the west- ern portion of Nebraska but bound for Wyoming, the Black Hills and far dist- ant Oregon, Idaho and California. 1t was lar el?'o\\'m to the Platte trail that the cenfral portich of Nebraska lias beon so rapidly settled and im- roved even to the Wyommg houndary. What is the condition of the Platte trail to-day. Recent purchas of the Union Pacific railroad land, recent settlers on government land, with,as yet, no title, ignoring alike the government dedication of the roads in its surveys, ignoring the publics’ prescriptive rights acquired a generation ago, have erccted illainous barbed wirc fences across these roads, forcing the traveler to the right and left, over bluffs and into mud and sand holes, where no good road can ev be made. The Platte river does not run accord- ing to section linos and the attempt to force the reads into them will inc the distanc rly 30 per cent and in- crease the difliculty to travel 30 per cent more. I would like to know whether it is the duty of the respective counties of the state or of the United States to_order the re- moval of these fences, or is it the duty of the poor traveler to cut the fenees ‘and run the risk of being shot for his temerity., .

Field and Farm: The wonderful ad- vance in values of Denver property of- times staggers belief. It was but a fow years sinco the eorner of Curtis and Six- teenth streets, the _four lots recently sold by Mr. Tabor for $105,000, went bogging for $500. Then again those two lots at the south end of the union depot, that had long been in controversy for title and were finally bought in by the Union Depot syndieate for §50,000, were won at a game of poker few years ago when that part of the city was a howling wilderness. We would all have been rich if we had only known how things were coming out. This matter of fortune in the Y west has all turned upon the pivot of front and hind sights, Too many of us have an abundance of the Iftier while we have been wanting jn the former. We re- member one eydning in 1860, of seeing the title o those )h thousand dollar lots at the end of the denot put up at a gaming table, ns sgainst a ten dollar note. One Mapk Amsben, & painter by profession, and a gambler by inclination, sat in a game of poker with one Babcock —-u gay gambler—and they sweat and stole cards and played for theso lots un- til they fell to the owership of the paint- or. He thought so lmhun‘tlu-m that _he never put them on record, but went off to the wars and digd, 'Then came a Dutch- man, Sehwenkeand settled upon them and lived in peageable possession on them for twenty-one years, and until the Union depot syndicute needed them, when they were compelled to pay hun $50,000 for the title he had acquired by the linutation of the law. During these one and twenly years no one with a better title than Schwenke had . said o him: “Deitcher, you getup and get off here,” therefore under the common law of the land this was peaceable possession, and the property was his. He is one of our nabobs to-day. -~ The death rate among postmasters throughout the United States seems to have been over forty-two per cent greater during the first year of the demo cratic administration than it was during the last year of the republican party This remarkable increase, from 412 to 587, would indicate that many republi can postmasters were 8o attaclied (o their oflices that they preferred 1o die rather than live in coutinual anticipation of & democratic successor.
