Party lines sit loosely on tho he First dis Overwhe 1y re publican for years, their fidelity to re publicanism has been made the excuse of corrupt party managers for foisting upon them for their support, blackiegs and swindicrs, straw men and corru under the plea that as regular non they were entitled to receive the entire party vote. Itis high time that the re- publican party of Nebraska should learn that Nebraska r. blicans have some sense of decency, and that character well as capacity to capture conventions must be taken into account. The nom- ination of the most corrupt and « reputable trickster in the party as the republican eandidate for congress in this district is an insult to the intel nee of honest republicans which they 11 not be slow to resent. In defeating C! I ters of on Howe republicans will teach party man agers the leason which they must learn sooner or later if party success is to fol- low party nominations ence. T Lists convicted, not of murder but of conspiracy agamst soci iy, are to hang. The public and the press generally applands the action. Fear of social violence and of the results which may follow the teachings of these misguided men has aroused a pressure of public opinion under which they have been crushed. But how is it with regard to other conspirators and other conspi- acies? The coal carriers of Pennsylvania, roll- ing in wealth and bigh in social influence, have conspired to restrict the production of coal at the mines. They have decreed that to raise the product used poor and rieh, thouss of men shall be thrown women and children be more than increase the hoards capitalists. Hungerand pove starvation will be results of this con- spiracy aganst society. But nota voice It will be an inmu-nn? and able docnment for the land-grabbers the details are made publi In o of abuse and dotraction, Mr. Sparks is raised to talk of lynching or the gal- lows, and press, pulpit and lecture plat- form dismiss the subject as one of trifing importance at best, outside the reach of law and small in comparison with the conspiracy which led to the Haymarket riot of last May. In St. Louis Jay Gould and his ) ciates have conspired to throttle all competition in transportation. Within the past fow days they have gathered to- gether all the outlets from Illinois conl mines, the belt line which circles East St. Lows and the bridges and ferries which cross the river. With no aim but their own personal aggrandisement, these cor- poration conspirators have carried into successful operation & plot against the liberties of one of our largest cities by which every man, woman and child can be taxed at their mercy. But no court of eriminal jurisdiction will be invoked. No jury of their peers is likely to pass a verdict upon the offense. No judge will assume the black cap and pass sentence upon a conspiracy whose effect may be more widely destractive than that for which Spies and Fielden, Parson, Schwab and their associates will suffer before the year has ended. It is easy to reach and easier still to en- force the penalties of the law against men whom poverty and vice drive into antagonism to human life and soci order. ‘The anarchism of the poor 1s hemmed in by statute restrictions. Ofli- ors of the law stand ready atany mo- ment to apprehend the offenders, The press may be counted upon to mould public opinion against the criminals, and society will applaud the sound of the drop which hurries themn off into eter- nity. But the socialism of the rich, the conspiracies of capital, the attacks upon the economie laws of supply and demand, whose free and untrammelled working it is tothe highest intercst of socicty to preserve, stand on a different footing. dnemies to society’’ seems to have a restricted application, bounded by the wealth of the offender and the glamour which mullions of money throw over wrong-doing. The Tides of Trade. Bradstreet’s record of failures through- out the United States for the nine months ending with September, as comparad with the same period of 1585, is very fav- orable to the eurrent year, the number labilities were $7,897,070 more than last year, showing an improvement also in that direction, In New York cver, there h: failures In this yoar over 1883, The record of Bradstreet’s shows an in- tiniate connection between failure: e road building and 1mmigration. hus in 1872 woe built 4,930 miles of railroad, and in 1873 the great panle, preaipitated by the failure of Jay Cook, began, Then immigration foll off steadily, reaching its lowest point—141,8 In that year also we had the greatest number of failures before 1884, viz. 10478. As the country begun to recover from its depres- | sion the resumption of railroad building and the increase of immigration went hand in hand, unti! 1882, when we built the extraordinary amount of 7, of road for the nine moy a forcigu access of popu In that year business fa for the samse period. Then followed another depression, In 1883 failures increased to 10,200, and but 8,085 miles of road were built.

Plcuro Pneumonta, The frequent appearance of pleuro pneumonia among eastern cattle at vari- ous places widely separated is most alarming. The danger of a general epi- demic and the urgent necessity for the use of every precaution against the spread of the discase cannot be too strongly urged upon the stock growers of the west. The evident reluctance ot the authorities to take prompt and effective measures to stamp out the malady where it has appeared is & piece of criminal negligence from which the ‘entire west may be made to suffer. Pleuro pneumonia is the most insidious and deadly diseaso to which cattle are subjected. It is communicable on the slightest contact and no known remedy has been found to stay its ravages in affected herds. In its rapid spread it is without parallel among dis- eascs to which eattle are snbjected, In England alone since the eflects have n noted $400,000,000 worth of stock have fallen vietim to its ravages. Such a scourage is not to be tampered with, It cannot be handled with glove While doctors and commissions are dis- puting, the sceds for millions of dollars ofloss to the stock interests of the United ates are being swiftly disseminated. ery animal that has been exposed in the slightest degree may at some future time beecome a new centre for contagion. Every stable or feeding ground, box car or cattle pen where one of these were kept may poison a healthy herd. Once started on its tour the deadly infection can scarcely be stamped out by any amount of care and energy. The duty of the authorities east is plain. Every infected animal should be at once slaughtered with every animal that has been in the least exposed. There should be no temporizing, no counting of the present cost, nor figuring up of values lest or injury done. The value of all the beasts in the Chicago yards would be a trifling bagatelle to the damage which might be caused by the escape of a single affected anim I7 was a bit of pleasantry indulged in by one of our reporters when he said that a mother who entered her baby fora prize at the exposition was so mad at another beng preferred that she went out, leaving her buby behind, and the father came back just in time to save the little one from being carried off by the police. The paragraph, however, huas been going the rounds ever since, 1ts last appearance, changed to suit, being in the New York Zimes, copied from the Chi- cago Inter-Ocean, as follows: **Maternal pride ont west reached high water mark in the person of the Omaha woman who entered her infant in the baby show und then walked off and deserted it hecause it failed to capture the prize.”’ Take our word for it, gentlemen of the scissors, the thing didn’t happen.

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows In 1876 Ncbraska elected Silas A, Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. M. Connor presidential electors by a vote of 31,016 as against a vote of 16,951 cast for he Tilden and Hendricks clectors. After the election it was discoval that the canvass of this vote could not under the then existing law legislature convened. The elector: had to be canvassed in De the latest, and the regu sion of the legislature did not be until Janunary In order to m a legal canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber ealled a special session of the legislature to convene on the December, at Lincoln, for the pose of canvassing the electoral vote ¢ the state. The demoeratic effort to cap- ture republican electoral votes is historic Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the clectors from Nebraska, and it 1s also historie that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The eall of the legislature broke into the plan of the plotters, and they found a will- i and reckless tool in Church Howe. When thelegislature convened at the eapi- tal,Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on vages 6, 7and 8 of the N braska House Journal of 187 The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading: *1, Chureh Howe, a member of the legisla- ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast in Ne- braska for electors for president and vice president of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any sueh purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such voteupon the followin ound: First. This legislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, has no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the statoe having been 1 force since November, 1575.” The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences of this precious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons 1 protest against any can of the electoral yote of the state by this body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate, while there were seyeral to spare in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the 7Tilden lawyers in Omaka and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sum Tilden. The logisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidentinl contest was at its height m Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the sen: Early in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler having reccived a majority of the electoral votes were en- titled to their seat, This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two da Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused. On the final passage of theresolution the record [page 876, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following resuit: Yeas—Ambrose, rd, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gilham, Hayes, Kennard, Kuapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wilcox—20, Those voting in the negative were: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinman, Holt, Church Howe and North—8. During the same session of the legisls ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the first three ballots is recorded as haying been cast for E. W. Thomas, a South Carolina democrat, [pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.] All this time Church Howe professed to be s republican independent, republican on nationdl issues and a temperance granger on local issues., We simply ask what right a man with such a record has to the support of any republican, —_— Poetical Grammar, Three little words you often see Are articles, a, an and the, A noun’s the name of anything, As school or garden, hoop or swing.
