Was he only a lobbyist when Charley Branch, John Sheedy and others of the sporting fraternity ruised a purse to bury his bluckwmailing sot- gambling bill? A Sawhones Screed. The cheekiest piece of work in the eam- : are more eoncerned than any other scc- paign comes from the hands of one “A S, Mansfelde, M.

The welfare of her schools, the vulue of her real est the | continued advancement of the city, all | terious digpensation of providence js able | the title of “Perma- ient Secretary Nebraska State Medieal Society.”” Mansfelde has issued a ciren lar from Ashland directed to the dootors of the First ressional district urging con; them to excreise their “endeavors” for | the Hon. Chureh Howo on the gronnd that the Nemaha trickster has made promises to work for the interests of the medical fratern “In a personal inter- view with him,” says Dr, Voh Mansfelde, “he has in his characteristic prompt sured me that he will show like encrgy in cong when matters aflecting the medieal profession are under consideration, onc of which will be an appropriation by congress for the ex- penses of the International Medical con gress to convene in Wushington in Sep- tember next. 1 am sure that your endeavors 1 behalf of Hon, Church Howe, irrespective of his unquestioned fitness for the place, will do great good to the cause well as reflect eredit upon the individual voter and state, he may represent in congress.” This is a precious document. As a pri- vate citizen Doctor Von Mansfelde has an undoubted right to advocate whatever candidate he chooses for congress. But when he prostitutes his oflicial position for the purpose of promoting the elec- tion of any man he 1s a fit subject for re- buke and exposure, Such action at once arouses the suspicion that Church Howe is at the bottom of the scheme and that the doctor’s opinion. has been pud for with u good round fee not provided for in the state soctety's fee hst. The med- ical fraternity generally will resent this ligh-handed piece of assumption. What sort of a spectacle would be presented to the public were all the men who held oflicial positions in the state fssue from their oMo under cial authstity printed appeals to voters in favor of candidates 'for political honors? What honest citizen would doubt for a moment that the authors were well paid for their trouble and expense? And what reputable man will not condemn with his whole soul any candidate who will hire the paid officer of u state socicty to use his ofiicial posi- tion for the furtherance of such disrepu- table schemes? Dr, Von Mansfelde’s circular is a dis- grace to his profession and casts dis- credit upon his own character and repu- tation. He should promptly be ejected from the office which he has attempted to use for unprofessional end: offi- A Blow at Monopoly. The foes of monopoly have reason to be gratitied with the evidences w hich come from Pennsylvama that the long reign of monopolistic corporations that state has come to an end. For more than a generation they have had froe course, and the history of thei ing and reckless operations, in total dis- regard of the public interests and wel- fare and in open defiance of the laws, a most extraordinary and impressi record of what such corporations are capable of doing when left to the unchal- lenged pursuit of their selfish aims. In no other state has the corruption and demoralization of legislatures, courts and public oflicials been carried to so great an extent as in Pennsylvania, and every promise or assurance that the power which has been able to accomplish this has been broken isto be welcomed. The platforms of both the political parties demand the strict enforcement of the constitutional provisions in regard to monopoly, and thus public sentiment on this subject has been fuily aroused. We called attention at the timo to the action of Governor Pattison in direct- ing tho attorney general to inquire mto the course of the coal combination, with a view to legal pro- ceedings aguinst that monopoly should it be found to have violated the law. The result of the inguiry has not yet trans- pired. The most recent evidence of the de- termination to arrest the movements of great corporations, whon clearly tending in the direction of monopoly, is given 1n the decision of the supreme court dis- missing tho appeal of the Pennsylyania railrond and afirming the decree of the common pleas court enjoining that cor- poration from acquiring the parallel road, ‘partly built, catled the South Pennsylvania. The West shore road was built by the friends of the Pennsylvania road to annoy the New York Central, and in retaliation the Vandorbilts and others interested with them projeoted the South Pennsylvania road. The con- test was proving damaging to both, and last year, as the public will remember, an arrangemont was made by which the New York Central acquired. the West Shore and the Pennsylvania the South Pennsylyania line. But the attorney general of Pennsylvania forbade the consohdation in that state, and this action has now been snstained by the supreme court. It is a severe defeat of the Pennsylvania cor- poration, since it is powerless to injure the Now York Central, and cannot protect itselfinits own state against the competi- tion of the new road, but it is clear!y in the interest of tho publie. The competing line will be completed, and it will prevent the Pennsylvania road from lovying upon the public the exactions it isnow in a position to demand. It is by far the most scrious repulse this great corporation has ever experienced, and is therefore all the more significant as n warning to less wealtay and powerful corvorations in the state that have monopolistic desizns. Such facts are exceedingly reassuring to ¢he anti-monopoly sentiment of the coun- try, now largely in the ascendant and rapidly growing. ————— Reglster at Once, The man who has not yet registered for Tud¥ay's clection has only two more days to perform i duty of eitizenship. No voter who fails to seé et his nawme is an the registrar’s list before the Cisetion can claim to be a good citizen, unless ckness or some other equally good cause prevents him from so doing. 'he coming election 1s one of unusual importanee. It involyes the choiee of a full state ticket and of alegislature which will be called wpon to seleet a United States senator. In these two features of the the approaching contest Douglas county is interested with the entire state. But it involves something more. Next ‘Tuesday's vote will decide the question whether a prohibitory amendment is to be submitted to the peopls of Nebraska. | have a vital connection with the v to be rendered, Of scarcely less importance atre the changes to be made in our city charter, Our city has doubled ner population in a little oyer five yoars. She has out: grown the limitations of the municipal government provided. and honest men are to be selected to leg islate in her interests and to make provyisions for her government adapted to Lier increased requirements and steady expansion. Every tax pa interested in the enhancement of property values, every workingman anxious for continued public improvements and employment for labor owes it te himself to cast allot on next Tuesday as his interests and those of the city may dic To vote you must be registered, Do you propose to disfranchise yourself through carelessness in not seemng that your name is on the voting list of your precinet? ict Tho New Packing Honses Within a few days the mammoth pack- ing houses of Fowler Bros. will be added to the resources of the rapidly growing indust community of South Omaha, The new packing house will be of larger capacity than any of its predecessors. Planned for both present needs and fu- ture requirements it is an evidence of the growing confidence which the great enst- ern packers have in the development of Nebraska live stock interests. Messrs. Hammond and Fowler and Lipton are keen men of business who have boldly announced through their enterprise that the dressed meat and pack- ing business must sooner or later be transterred in bulk to the center of caltle and hog production. South Omaha has become an important meat center. Its market is steadily improving, as its product is increasing. New railroad. ta- cilities are bringing it nearer to the great ranges and feeding farms, and to the countivs where the Nebraska hog is busily engaged in making corn on tne hoof, the most profitable product of our farmers. Tt is only a question of months when the Armours and Swifts will find themselves forced to competo for the Ne- braska n The terri mity on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad Thursday night points a morat in the fresh illustra- tion it gives of how much of human woe and disaster is due to carelessness and inattention to duty. A freight train brakeman neglocted to close a switch after his train had passed onto a side track, the conductor, trusting too implic- itly his subordinate, did not see that the vital duty was performed, and the fright- ful consequence has been told in the dis- patches detailing the heart-rending story of the erash, the ruin and the holocaust. More than a score of lives is a fearful penalty of carclessness and inattention, which in this ease, so far as can be de- duced from the ements made wholly withcut ex The brakeman knew his duty and had ample time to perform it, before s attention was called to the omission, but evidently his mind was not on his work. For a mo- ment his thoughts had wandered away from the business which should have been first in his regard, and that moment was fatal. But the conductor—driven insane, it is said, by the disaster—is mnot blame less. His duty was cven more impers tive than that of his subordinate, a the exigency demanded his most soli itous attention to it. It was not a time for the extension of confidence. There was imminent peril, and un- less the one thing needed to be done was done, inevitable disaster. It was a mo- ment when the man in authority should have taken nothing for granted, but as- sured himself that the one avenue to de- struction and death was closed. He also fell short in his duty and must share the responsibility. There may be a fault higher up touching those who employed men capable of neglecting their duty at such a time, and it is possible that this will appear when an nvestigation shall have disclosed all the circumstances of the ealamity. The simple suggestion it s to every man whose duty involves in any degree the interests and safety of others is, that he cannot devote himself too watehfully and sedulously to every detail of his duty, and to those who have the employment of men for such business it urges the necessity of the utmost care in solecting those who are entirely cap- able and trustworthy, GoverNor HiLr, of New York, very rarely opens his mouth 1 public without giving out something in rebuke of the administration, He made a speech at Newark, N. J., Thursday night, and took occasion to make a thrust at the civil ser- vice rule of the president with respect to public oflicials participating in politics. He remarked that there were no civil ser- vice rulos to prevent his speaking to the audienoe, and if there were he should be tempted to break them, The dispateh docsn't state what sort of reception this home thrust received, but it 18 safe to conclude that it found hearty approval, It reflected the very mnearly uni- versal democratic sentiment that the policy of Mr. Cleveland in putting a curb upon the politieal rights of democratic federal officials is a serious wrong and damage to the party, and that the offi- clals who submit to it are cowards. It is because Mr. Hill holds this view and bravely proclaims it that he is popular with the masses of the party in New York and in all the region to which the political influence of New York extends. And Mr. Hill understands his advantage and knows how to improve it, | Tuk citizon who docs not register is lost as & voter. Register carly. — Other Lands Than Ours.

The Bulgarian sobran or general assembly, is now in session for the purpose of «lecting a ruler spite of the annolincement that Russia prove power should considers it illegal and will re- fuse to recognize any of its decisions. Foreign ' dispatches state | that it is possible that the choice of the majority will fall upon Prince Walde- | but that he isnot likely | mar of Denmark, to accept the situation, If he were to | become Prince of Bul, he might .at no distant date find himself opposed to his own brother, the King of Greece, and this together with the in rity of the Bulgarian throne, renders the position haridly a tempting one for Prince Walde- mar. The nan of Prince Bosopetrovic cousin to Pr dta of Monteneg is also mentioned, but he is thought to bo impossible as & prince of Bulgaria for the same reasons as the Prince of Montene- gro himself. Thero is a third candidate in the person of Duke John Albert of Mecklenberg-Schwerin, The duke is now in his thirtieth year, He is brother of the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia. Of the two branches of the Mecklenburg the reigning family north of the Danube is of Schlavonic origin. Duke Albert holds the rank of captain in la suite in_a hussar regiment of Prussinn guards. His family not being wealthy some provision would have to be made for him in case of deposition. It 1s believed that Ger- many would not be unfavorable to his election and that Russia holds lus candi- dature in reserve. * *"e Russia evidently holds the whip hand and the prophets who have been indus- triously proclaiming for a week or two past that her attempts to set at naught the will of the people of Bulgari destined to end in failure are | find out that they were in error. many and Austria are also to declare that the election of the sobranje was ille- gal, and forge the plucky little provinee to submit to Russia’s demands. In com- per on for this aid from the govern- ment of the two kaisers the ezar prom- ises not to intervene in Bulgaria. As Russin will probably gain all it asked through intrigue and dissimulation, there will scarcely be any reason for her to re- sort to nny expensive and hazardous means to accomplish her ends. * % The sensation of the week in England bas been Lord Churchill's speech at Bradford in which the foreign policy of the ministry was cautiously stated. The tory leader intimated that England would protect her interes{s in’ the east against any charge that Russia and the powers might think proger to make. On the other hand, he ‘\«cncq that England was not the only power iinterested in the Balkan states and bn that account it did not feel called upon totake up the sword alone to oppose Russian aggrandizement. Lord Churchill totiched very teaderly on the [rish question, assuring his hearers that there were no serious disagreements among cabinet ministérs as to the Irish policy to be pursued. Asno aefinite Irish policy seems yet to have been formulated the announcement was meamngless. Events in Ireland may force the gov- ernment before Jong to disclose their hand. Evictions are merdasimgand there is said to be more than the usual amount of want and poverty, especially in the western part of the country. e A typical Trish landlord is now being brought into prominence in the person of Lord Clarricarde. His immense estates were acquired in the good old times, partly by court fayor, partly by robbery from the Celtic owners. The Clanricarde of 1842, perhaps the most notable of the house, by his treason to his fricnds and his loyalty to Ormonde, helped to bring to naught the Catholie confederation, the most hopeful organization of Irishmen prior to the national league. Hence the present bearer of the title is strietly in line with the family tradition when he is found among the bitterest encmies of his country. Lord Clanricarde is a consistent absentee, He has visited lns Trish property once in hislife. He draws $100,000 every year from a people sunk in poverty, which he spends in luxury and vice in London and on the continent, No man could more complotely decline to do any of the duties which humanity im- poses upon the property-owner, if the law does not. He is an enemy of the people. With this man the National league will try conclusions this winter, Clanricardo means to evict relentlessly the tenants on the Galway estates, The league, in its struggle with such a landlord, must have tife sympathy and support of every right feeling man. After all, there is a line where the rightsof property stop and the rights of manhood begin. A system which grinds the white slaves of Galway into want and wretchednaess and disease that one man may gild his vices is inher- ently wrong. o The completion of the Mery & Oxus railway to a point near Sarakhs, gives Russia & most valuable road for the trans- portation of troops and supplies to the Afghan frontier. The c: has been try- ing to induce the Amecor of Bokhara to enlist Russians in his army, and Bussian officers disguised as pegchants have been inspecting the passes between Badakshan and Northern Indiay These movements show that Russia hak by no menns ceased to extend her influegeodn the region ad- joining the Indian ffontier, and to en- ‘zage in characteristie igtrigue there since the Afghan boundary dispute was tem- porarily settled. w1 The situation of thée French ministry under M. de Freycinet is not unlike that of the Gambetta midistry just before its fall. The ministry has not a trustworthy majority i the chgmbers, nor has M. Clemenceau, 1ts chiel rival. The latter can annoy the ministry indefinitely, and at any moment, by a coalition with the conservatives, can overthrow it, but no radical ministry could live a week. The situation paralyzes the ministry and con- fuses the chamber of deputies. Its ch peril lies in the temptation to secure popularity by some rash movement in Europeun affairs, and to this the reported purloy tends of opening the Egyptian question by & loint note addressed to gland by France, Kuseiz sud Turkey. This was the game which Gambeiir's rivals were induced to play in Tonquin and Madagascar, and it came near to ruining the republic. Yetit was not so risky, by far, as an intervention in the vexed eastorn question. Keep It Before Republicans, The republicans of the Iirst district ask themselves whether a man having such a record as that of Church Howe has any rightful claim upon the support of any decent republican. Leav- ing out of question his corrupt methods and notorious venality we appeal to re- publicans to pause and l‘\'fll'(‘( before they put a pr upon trea- son and consp nustits very exist- ence Ten years when the republican party was on the verge of disaster, and every electoral yote cast for Hayes and Wheeler was needed to retain the party in pow Church Howe entered into conspiracy to deliver republican ngo, braska into the hands of the enemy This infamous plot is not a mere conjee- ture. The proof of it does not rest on surmise or suspicion. It isnot to be pooh-poohed or brushed away by pro nouncing it one of Rosewater's malicious campaign slanders, The records of the legislature of which Church Howe was a member in T contain the indelible proofs of the tre: onable conspiracy, and no denial can stand against evidence furnished by his own pen. Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows: In 1876 Nebraska elected Silas A, Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. . Connor presidential electors by a vote of 31,016 as against a vote of 16,954 onst for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the election it was discovared that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to be canvassed in December at the latest, and the reguiar ses- sion of the legislature did not begin until January, In order to make a legal canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December, '76, at Lincoln, for the pur- poso of canvassing the electoral vote of the state, Tha damocratic 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 electors from Nebraska, and it 18 also historic that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The call of the legislature broke intothe plan of the plotters, and they found a will: ing and reckless tool in Church Howe. When the legislature convened at the capi- tal,Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal of 1877. The fol- lowing extruct makes interesting reading: *1, Chureh Howe, a member of the legisla- ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Sllas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast in Ne- braska for electors for president and vice dent 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 ult of such voteupon the following grounds: First. This lezislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what nown as the old constitution, has no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the state having been i force since November, 1875, The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences qf this precious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral yote of the state by his body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signea)-Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. ‘The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely aquorum in the senate, while there were several to sparo in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the ‘lilden lawyers in Omaha and Howe had tho glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature conyened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at 1ts height in Washington. Church Howe had ehanged places from the housa to the senate. Karly in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying reccived a majority of the clectoral yotes were en- titled to their seats, This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days. Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first came up and was 80 exoused. On the final passage of theresolution the record [page 876, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following result: Yeas—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gilham, Hayes, Kennard, Knapp, 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 legisla- ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the first three ballots is recorded as haying been cast for E, W. Thomas, & South Carolina democrat, (pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.] All this time Church Howe professed to be a republican independent, republican on national issues and a temperance granger on local issues, We simply ask what rignt a man with such a record has to he support of any republican.

On Oct. 15, at the regular weighing of cattle on the farm of the University of Iliinois, a lot of six choice steers,average- ing a few days less than 80 months in age, and 1,008 pounds in weight, were found to have made an average gain of 891-6 pounds in forty: (from Sevt. 1) and of 273 pounds six- teen days. A lot ot four good stes averaging a little oyer 80 months, and 1,456 pounds, had made an average gain 150 pounds in forty-five days, and of 58§ in the sixteen days. A lot of Eronty -five steers of poorer quality and probably of not much less age, av ing 1115 pounds, had made an average gain of 118} pounds i the forty- Il\o days, and of 44 pounds 1n the it The lot of six AV mon full grain- feed during all the s 1d last win- ter—four of them als ing the pre- ceding summer. The lot of four were well fed last winter, but had no grain from May 1 until August 15—on full “foed The lot of twent since September 1. five, with one exception, purchs in the spring and summer, and had_been »oorly fed during the winter. Since August 15 they have had the same treat- ment as the lot of four. The averag ain of the twenty-four purcha nee June 12,when most of them were bought, )uw been 242} pounds. These cattle have all been on pastures and have been fed corn in the ear, aver- ageing nbout one-half bushel per steer daily. They arc fod three times a day-— nerally from the wagon as it comes rom the field. The lot of six best steers have not had so good pasture as the oth- ers and have eaten h little hay. Pigs “follow” all the cattle and pigs have grown rapidly from the corn left undi- gested by them. The variations in the rate of gain are partly explained from the poorer quality and smaller size of the larger lot ot athass an il [eOREEND oD gor feeding and much higher degree of fat- ness of the lot of six, The facts concern- ing these cattle are in accordance with our expericnee year after year on the unn.-mu arm,” which seems to show that, under pn»m-mxmu!mum in central llllnl)h . Increase of wei clu-:u»ly secured any grain during season. 9. teeding whole corn in the autumn months to cattle on the pasture is tho most economical method of fattening cattle. The feeding is done with the labor. When hogs follow the cattle there is very httle waste, The manure is all saved and stributed withont —cost.
