THE Uationat , Convention of theBrotherhood of Locomotive Engi-

wages. . The action of the conven-tion

¬

touching this subject is decided-

ly¬

aa verse to further reduction underany circumstances.

Mn. HATES Is well known toJudge lake as industrious , stud'ous' ,attentive to business , and a fineBpcoicer. Herald.

Yes , Judge Lake knows him , andthat is one reason why Judge Lakeis for Council and againstDistrict Attorney , first , last and allthe time.-

AN

.

important opinion has just. been promulgated by Attorney Gen-

eral¬

Williams , touching the right ofthe Secretary of the Treasury to re-

.mit-

. fines and penalties under theTJ. 8. Revenue laws. The AttorneyQeneral holds that under section 52 ,53 of the revised statutes the Secre-tary

¬

of the Treasury has power toremit fines , penalties , and forfeit-ures

¬

arising under any revenue lawwhen the amount does not exceed§1,000, and when there has been no-

MB.VALDO IAOX , one of themost popular Republicans of BurtCounty , has been nominated for theState Senate from the Sixth Sena-torial

¬

District , comprising "Washing¬

ton and Burt counties. This nomi-

nation-

is virtually equivalent to anelection.-

Mr..

. Lynn is represented to us byparties intimately acquainted withhim , as being a man of unswervingintegrity and unquestioned capaci-

ty.

¬

. The Republicans of his districtmay , therefore , be congratulatedppon their choice.

WHEN'Mr. Augustus "Weis sub-

scribed¬

one hundred dollars towardconverting the Omaha Pott into aBourbon organ , he did act dreamthat "Weinstein , Mader & Co , ex-

pected¬

to sell him out in the Demo-cratic

¬

convention. That was a verypoor investment for Mr. Weis , buthe ougnt to have known better.

THE Louisiana controversy mud-dle

¬

is. after all, likely to come to apeaceable solution at the comingKtate election. Telegraphic advicestrom New Orleans announce thefinal consummation of a compactby which both parties agree to main-tain

¬

good order and abstain from aresort to intimidation , either throughthe intervention of military force orarmed white leaguers. "Whetherthe followers of Kellogg and Mc-Enerywill

-faithfully abide by the

compact , remains, however , to beseen-

.St

.

John Goodnch was next loud-ly

¬

called for and advanced to givehis views to the multitude.-

He.

thought every word Millersaid was true. * Herald.

Before Mr. Saint John Goodrichbecame a candidate on the Bourbonticket , he always bore a high repu-

tation¬

for veracity. But when Mr.-

St..

. John Goodrich undertakes tomake people in this part of the coun-

try¬

believe that every word Millereays is true , he lays himself liableto the suspicion that he is eithersuffering from mental aberration , orthat his anxiety for office has in-

duced¬

him to impose upon the cred-

ulity¬

of his friends. "We venture tosay that Mr. Goodrich cannot findanother man in Nebraska , not ex-

cepting¬

the "twin" brother , whobelieves every word Miller says.

Lot no man hesitate or hlgglpabout mere personal or side Issues.The best ticket , State and county ,

evr presented to this people for theirsuffrages elves the good men ofDouglas the power to strike a blowfor good government that tiicy havenever had so good an opportunity tostrike before. Charge , Democrats !

Charge Herald.Yes , charge ! Democrats , charge ! '

Charge for Morton J Charge forMiller ! Charge for the old fogyring.-

"With.

the exception of all theother Demecratic tickets that hayobeen nominated in the past fifteenyears , It is the best , the very best ,

ticket that ever , etc. By the way,was there ever a Democratic ticketnominated thiitwas not pronouncedthe best that ever , eto.

Therefore , charge ! Democrats ,

charge ! Charge along the whojeBourbon line.

THAT eminent Lancaster Countyreformer Mr. Chapin , who for manyyears was the chief of a plunderingland grab ring at Lincoln , has tak-

en¬

the stump as an Independentcandidate for the legislature-

.It.

must be decidedly edifying forpeople who are familiar with Chap-

in's-

record to Jjsten to his soulsterring harrangues aeamst porrop-

tion-

as embodied in the KennardStout ring. Where was Chapinduring the memorable Butler Im-

peachment¬

?Was not this same high-toned re-

former¬

tlfe Stout-Keunard ring cand'date for Governor two years agoWhere were his active sympathieduring the penitentiary investiga-tion , and why did he then exhibisuch extreme anxiety to help thcorrupt ring ? The BEE has alwaybeen in favor of genuine politicalpurification , but it does net expectto purify the political air with rotteneggs.

WORK has at last been activelyinaugurated on the Nebraska Trunkroad between Nebraska City andBrownville. The worJi is being donunder the supervision of DoctoConverse , President of the MidlandPacific. It is expected that the roadwill be completed to the Otoe coun-

ty line by January 1st. Accordingto the .Nebraska City Press , workwill also be commenced at an earljday on the Brownville & l 't. Kear-uey road , which is to be tied andironed as soon as men and moneycan do ic. This is cheering newsfor for Nebraska City and Brownville. It is to be hoped that our Oma-

ha capitalists will see to it tha-thegap'lbetwpen Qraaha & NebraskaCity shall be closed within the nextwelve months. Omaha has so farsaid much and done very little infurthering this important enterprise ,

but we believe the time is not dis-

tant when our business men willput their shouldcis to the wheel and.push the Nebraska trunk" road tofinal completion.

AND now , horror of horrors , theCouncil Bluffs papers threaten toorganize a company of bridge ex-

ploders¬

, who shall , in case of emerg-ency

¬

, blow up or undermine theUnion Pacific bridge. The impend-ing

¬

emergency Is pointed out clearlyenough to be when the Iowa roadsshall insist upon delivering theirfreight and passengers to the UnionPacific in the Omaha depot. His-torical

¬

precedents are cited whichresulted in the destruction andabandonment of the first bridge ,

that spanned the Mississippi riverat Rock Island. The Nonparielconcludes its incendiary documentsas follows : "This is hlstcrv, andthe sequel is, that the wholesalemerchants of St. Louis , undauntedstill , determining that they hadrights , and that those rights must beobserved , levied an assessment uponthenibel ves many firms agreeing topay as much as one thousand dollarseach for the purpose of hiring someman , or men to destroy that bridge.-Thfc

.result was p-obably never en-

tirely¬

satisfactory to either party en-

gaged¬

in the controversy , but thatbridge , long since torn down , servesas a reminder to the railroad nabobswha think that they can defy lotfalegislation , Iowa law , Iowa courts ,

and Iowa citizens , of the fact thatthe people are sovereigns in tulacountry and that there is such athing as taxing their patience be-

vood-

endurance ,"

LINCOLN , Sept. 23-

.EDITOI

.

: OXAHA BEB :

On our way to the postofflce Sat-

urday¬

afternoon , a flaming posterannounced that J. W. Sharts andW.P.Chapin , "People's" candidatesfor the Legislature , would addressthe citizens of Lincoln this eveningat the Opera House. At half-pastseven or eight o'clock we enteredthe hall and found Mr. Sbarts read-

ing¬

and commenting on an editorialwhich appeared in the Blade of re-

cent¬

date Mr. Sharts is not a verygood reader , but by close attentionwe caught the sentiments expressedin the editorial , which are as fol-

lows¬

:

The article charged the Journalwith being the tool of the ring , butdenied that the rank and file of theparty followed or accepted the ringmen as leaders. He endorsed thearticle with many flourishes , anddeclared that there was a ring, butthat the rank and file of the Repub-lican

¬

party bcomed to be its dupes.Then the gentleman gave us that

portion of his extemporaneousspeech which had been carefullycommitted to memory. He indulg-ed

¬

his imagination with a fiight to-heaven. . He wondered what tome.Republicans would do , when afterhaving safely reached the desiredheven , they would glance over theirshoulder and see some lucky demo-crat

¬

there a thing altogether im-possible.

¬

. .After careful considera-tion

¬

, he concluded that said repub-lican

¬

"would jump over the battle-ment

¬

and take a nine days tumbleto hell" a move which we thinkhe would certainly be justified in-making. . The brethren cheered atthat , though we failed to see a veryhigh older of wit in the afar fetchedremark-

.He.

tben took up bjs record as asoldier , and demonstrated to thesatisfaction of al} present that hewas not au officer , but a smoothfaced boy in the ranks. It w a aUnion regiment he belonged to, andwhen he stated that out of the ninehundred which left Cincinnati , sev-en

¬

hundred were sleeping under thesod of old Virginia , the audience ,true to their ojd democratic instinct ,

cheered again. Ybat there was {ocheer over in the loss of "seven }iun-dred

-Union soldiers , we cannot un-

derstand.¬

. After apologizing for bisphysical inability to make a sneeeh ,he retired.-

Hon..

. W. F. Chapin undertook toprove that he was just as good a Re-publican

¬

as Tom Keanard , by prov-ing

¬

Tom a rascal. Now provingKennard a rascal did not help him ,any more tiian proving Til ton a lib-ertine

¬

would clear Beecher. What-ever

¬

Kennard may be, and we don'tthink much of him as a politician ,Chapin did not harm him nor helphimself. Chapin dld'not'propose toconfine himself to county matters ,but discussed national finance , theKellogg muss , and other questionsthat were too heavy for him. LikeSharts , he did not expect to make aspeech , so told them that he wouldaddress them again , and retired.

There were seventy-five or onehundred , at the most , supporters ofthe opposition present , who admitthat it was , to say the least , verydiscouraging to reformers. As tothe sucpess of the opening meetingof the campaign for thp opposition ,with few present and rambling re-marks

¬

by candidates , we leave yourreaders to Judge , This wo know ;Republicans are highly elated , theopposition discouraged.

Fair Play.EDITOR BIE ii-

I am a Republican , and above althings desire the success of the Re-publican party at the _coming election.I

.am reliably informed that a cer-

tain¬

aspirant to the United StatesSenatorship , whose popularityamong Republicans happens to bebelow par from hjs past political re-cord

¬

, has cnme among ua 'to' influ-ence

¬

the decision of Republicans bysmuggling Democratic voters intoour primaries. Now while I desireto see fair play and am willing toconcede to every capdidate the priv-ilege

¬

of contesting his claims In anhonorable manner , I protest againstsuoh manipulation , and warn himof the ponspquence-

.We.

want a' fair expression 'or theRepublican sentiment , and J hopeevery Republican will come to theprimaries and vote for men whorepresent his wishes. H.R.-

If.

I am the person to whom refer-ence

¬

is here made , I desire to say inanswer thereto that I have not onlynot thought of "smuggling Demo-cratic

¬

fotere" into the "Omaha pri-maries

¬

, but , on the contrary, havefrom the first refused to aid in s'tir-

riug-

up the dirty pools , whose stenchhas heretofore filled the nostrils ofthe entire State. It Is well knownto all factions in Omaha that I havemade an earnest effort to induce ,without strife , the formation of alegislative ticket , composed of ableand honorable men , who wouldcommand the respect , confidence ,and , support of the Republicanvoters of that county. It is true thatI have requested Republicansto nominate from this class ofcitizens , men whom I could reason-ably

¬

expect to consider fairly , andimpartially , the candidacy of an oldresident of Omaha , sixteen years ofwhose life were spent with them inassisting to develop every materialinterest Beyond this I have madeDO demand , no effort-

.In.

answer to the imputation uponmy fealty to party, I have only tosay , that during the eighteen yearsif my residence In Nebraska I haveaever , except upon one occasion ,roted any other'than the Republi-an

Having made the circuit of Xe-

maha-

county and "captured" a fewitems , wo propose to "turn themover" to the readers of the BEE.

One mile west of Brownville wostopped to take a look over the mag-nificent

¬

farm of Gov. Furnas , con-

sisting¬

of 220 acres of gently undu-lating

¬

prairie land. Mr. W. H.-

Lorance.

is in charge of the placeduring the Governor's absence. Thewhole farm has been carefully andscientificailyscultivated , and thelOOacres of orchard and nursery arejustly fcuid to be without an equalin the west , and we believe thatbetter fruit , t-ither for size or flavor ,cannct be found anywhere. Mr-.Lorance

.told us that he found no

difficulty in disposing of everybushel of fruit at good prices as fastas ripened ; while many personswho have not taken the trouble toengraft their trees , or select the bestuarieties , are obliged to feed theirfruit to stock , as there is sufficientof the first-class article to supply themarket.-

¬

the She'ridan mills which havethe reputation of turntnc out an ex-

tra¬

good quality of flour. Nemahacounty has very little- uncultivatedland , as most of it has been undercultivation for fifteen to twentyyears, and everywhere you seeneatly trimmed hedges , fine orch-ard

¬

, stately groves and spacioushoiibcs and barns , indicating awealthy and prosperous people.-

Mr..

. John Strain ! who has livedhere for eighteen years , savs thatthis is the first time that he hasever failed to get a good crop. Thereis a constant stream of "movers"passing thiough here , they comefrom the more western counties ofthis State, and Kansas , and are re-

turning¬

east , totally discouraged bythe entire loss of their crops. Theytell sad stories of want and priva-tion

¬

, and that (hey had to leave or-starve. . Many of these funiiljes willreturn in the spring ,

We returned to Brownville onSaturday evening , and were in-

formed¬

that Mr, David Campbell ,the city Marshal , had just arresteda couple of men on suspicion ofhorse stealing. The men had actedstrangely and told contradictorystories in regard to the horse theyhad with them. Theprisonersclaiin-to hail from Omaha.-

POLITICAL NOTES.

Tell us , when did the DemocracyJn the days of its power ever iuves-'tigate

-and expose dishonesty and

fraud oommjtted within its ownranks ? Never.

George Francis Train has at lastrelinquished his intention of becom-ing

¬

President of the United States ,but we've gone on too far in thisexperiment of free government toslop now.

They don't seem to have manyReformers up at Ripon. WhenSenator Carpenter , in his speech ,qxclaimed , "Where now are yourReformers ? " one of those awfullypractical fellows answered , "He'sover in the beer-saloon , playingpigeon-hole. " Milwaukee Sentinel.

South Carolina is the right placefor the deliberate indorsement of thetlijrc } term to emanate froin. It ledin the reb'eliion , was foremost in thenullification project , and has beengenerally of a bad spirit. . It wasnot more than half loyal during theRevolutionary war. Such a Statemay well lead in third-term agita-tions

¬

The Republican party is notlikely to accept it. Pittabury Qa-zelle

-,

Returns from the entire state ofVermont , excepting one town.showthat at the recent election the Re-publicans

¬

elected 183 members ofthe lower branch of the Legislature ,and the Democrats 48 , while thereare tjiree Independents , one Farm-er

¬

, and In flve towns ( here was no-election. . The last House contained216 Republicans and 32 Democratsand Liberals. Evidently there hasJ een a good deal cf independent vo-ting

¬

in other parts of the State thanPoland's district ,

Col. James O , Broadhead , whohas for years been considered one ofthe "wheel-horses" of the MissouriDemocracy , "has gone back on theparty. " Having been invited totake the stump for the Democraticfitatp ticket , up responded in thisway : " I 'call never'justifythe acts of reconstruction'or theplunder of the southern people in-tlP) PtJffle of loyalty f J cannot admitthat war upon the Radical partymust needs be a war uponUnion men. Buch , I believelirmly , is the purpose and spiritof those having charge of theDemocratic organization of Missou-ri.

¬

. The tone and language of itsorgans , the spirit of the address ofthe Central Committee , and muchthat was done at the State Conven-tion

¬, must satisfy the careless obser-

ver¬

of this fact. For my part I wantnone of such Democracy. I wouldnot oppose Mr. Hardin because hewas not a Union man nor favor Mr.Gentry because he was , but whenthat issue is distinctly made , and I-am told that Democracy means re-bellion

¬

, there is but one course forBe to pursue-
