A Scrap of History

There have been ten specific attempts TO
defy the authority of the Federal Govern
ment since its formation.
The first was in 1882, and was ccn'plr-
acy of some of the officers of the Federal
army to consolidate the thirteen States into
one. and confer the supreme power on Wash
ipgton.
The second Was in 1876, called "Shay's
In,urrecsion." in Massachusetts.
The third was IN 1874. popularity called
4" the Whiskey Insurrec;ien of Psnnayiva-
MIA"
The fourth instance was in tf99. by the
opponents of the S.dition laws, known IN
Berks county as the Schreckenzeiten. or
e Reign of Terror" The federal troops took
one of the editors Of the Adler. Judge Soyder,
to the market place and hofse-whipped him.
which ended the insurrection.
The fifth instance was in 1914, by the
Hartford Convention of the Federalists.
The sixth, on which occasion the differen
sections Of the Union came into collisiont
wes in 1920, under the administration of
President Monroe, and occurred on the ques
ton of the admission Of Missouri into the
Union.
The seventh was collision between the
Legislature Of Georgia aud the Federal Gov
ernment, in regard to certain lands given by
the latter to the Creek Indians.
The eighth was in 1920 with the Chero-
KEGS in Georgia.

What Should be the Staple Of Ne
bFaSka?

Heretofore the principle production
that farmers in this Territory have de-
pended upon to procure the n~ecessaries
of life, has been corn. There is a diff
ference of opinion among farmers as to
which is the most profitable one year
with another, corn or wheat. Some con-
tend that hemp will prove to be more
profitable than either. We are inclined
10 be of the latter opinion. We should
be much pleased to see more of our far
mers giving the hemp crop at least a
fair trial. But we are so far from the
seaboard, and from all the great inland
cities, and freight is so high on the Mo.
River, that we think it will not be found
to be our best interest to depend entirely
upon the production and sale of dny raw
staple. Manufactures should be ucour-
aged as much as possible, in every way
that will tend to retain money IN the ter
ritory. This Will always be more Of an
agricultural than a manufacturing coun-
try. But, the wheat that is exported from
here should be first converted into -four.
Our corn and hay should be changed IN
to beef and pork before a pound Of them
are sent down the Missouri. Every year
thousands of dollars are sent from this
Territory for liquors; this should all be
saved. If men wiH drink. it would be
better TO take the juice of Nebraska corn
and grapes, rather than the ~poison-drug-
ged liquids from the cellars Of Eastern
Cities.
Most Farmers will agree with US that
it will pay better to raise live stock than
grain. Blu: here the questions arise,
what kind of stock is most profitable, and
what is the best mode of treatment for
each kind Of stock We do not propose
in Ibis number, to discuss these questions
in oil their bearings. Much might be
said both pro and con on every branch Of
stock. The truth is, any economical far
ner can, during a lifetime, amass an in
dependant fortune by raising either hor-
ped caille, horses aud mules, sheep or
swine. It Is a question to be solved on
by time and experience 10 this Terri
which Of these classes Of animals
sill pay best.
Where a man has a good farm, well
improved, and fenced, and is not cramp- I
d for means, be can. IL our opinion. make I
money as fast by raising males and hor- I
as in any manner We kaow Of. {
Raising sheep and selling wool. when
conducted by a practical nan. who un- 4
.ersiands il. Is also very profitable. Wool =
hould be, and really is. more truly king p
