Young women, you don't know how
much influence you have over young men.
If you would labor earnestly, we should
not have so many dissipated young men in
our land. Do not let them fill the drunk
ards grave. suppose you will say, 81
am not to blame; don't believe we have
anything to do with young mems getting
drunk" Think moment. Did you ever
do anything to prevent them? Did you
ever go with a young man when he had
been drinking a little? 81 believe So"
Well, did you think as much of him as you
did before he drank? emo" You did
not let him know it, did your "No."
You should have said to him: eff you
drink, will not go with yon any more"
You might have saved him from drunk
ards grave. Will you say to the young
man who is attentive to you, that you do
not mean to go with any young man who
drinks one drop of liquor? He may shun
you for few days, but he will think of it,
and will make up his mind that you are
right; for what woman wants drunken
husband?

Our School Funds.

We have been shown by DR.. Nc
GREW, County School SupgriRten-
dent, a notice from the State School
superintendent, afr. BEAL4, an Off
cial notification Of the appOrtionment
Of School Funds for Nemaha county.
The sum specified Is SS,426, the pro-
portionate amount due the county
from what is now in the hands Of the
State Treasurer for school purposes.
The State Superintendent adds: "a
full and equitable adjustment will be
made so soon as full census are in"
From this it is safe to conclude that
this sum is not the full amount due
this county. AS we have before said,
and as is known by, especially those
who are officially connected with
school affairs, the school matters
throughoutthe State are terribly mix
ed up" 1t is pre- unable that most,
If not all of the troubles arise from
the change in our school system,
which has been brought about by the
enacting of our New School Law.
After it shall be thoroughly under
stood and in practical operation, we
hope to see it work more smoothly.
DR.. McGrew seems somewhat at loss
how to proceed in the distribution OF
the funds, as the law provides that
"one-fourth of the whole amount to
be distributed shall be divided equally
between the several I i~StrictS, and the
remaining three-fOurths, PTO-rdtG In
the several Districts according to the
enumeration returned by the Direc-
tor"
AS the districts are all in urgent
need of funds, our plan would be to
distribute what funds are in hand
now, as prescribed by law, and any
additional funds that may hereafter
come into hand in the same manner
and proportion. This will involve
double labor on the part Of the SUI er-
intendent, in this respect, but we 90
not e how il can be well avoided,
and meet present necessities.

CONHNGERCIAL

AT the request of many farmer subscribers
we shall again make an attempt to give a re-
view of the produce market. This we at
tempted some time ago, but found 1t did not
work to the sati sfactiOn of many, as they
expect us to furnish q market that would
hold good until our next issue. The market
is too ~iuctuating for that; all we can do is to
give quotations at the date of our issue. This
we will attempt to do as correctly as posi-
BILE, in hopes that our efforts will be appreci-
ated. When we get out a daily-and that day
may not be far distant-we can give a daily
report. We shall also give the prices in
Omaha and st. Joseph, of the articles we
quote, in which way the farmer may Judge
OF the influence of these markets upon ours.
We notice from our exchanges that there is
great reluctance OF the part Of farmers in
the Missouri Valley to dispose of their grain
at present prices, preferring to hold on until
spring for a rise, being induced to this from
the known scarcity of corn and wheat in the
Middle States. This withholding of the sta
pies that move capital from the east, is maxi
ing times much harder in this valley than

Religious.

1t is with pleasure we announce
that in several points in this county
interesting religious revivals are pro-
crossing. At Peru in the Methodist
Church, in charge of Rev. SwARTs,
daily and nightly meetings have been
kept up for two weeks past. In this
place, in the Baptist Church, under
the pastoral care of Rev. Lowe, a
very interesting series of meetings are
in progress. Many confess convict
ions and are seeking forgiveness of
sins.
There has been quite a large revi-
val influence in London during the
last two or three weeks under the
auspices of Rev. L. F. Britt, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The
church greatly revived, quite a num-
Der of conversions and ten united
with the church, and some bread cast
upon the waters we hope to see many
days hence.
Rev. L. F. Britt, of London, Ne
braska, has commenced another pro-
tracted meeting at. the Fairview
Church. Prospects are good for a
gracious work at that place. Several
are inquiring the way to Zoin. May
the work go on and spread, and many
be added to the church, such as shall
finally be saved.

Geo. D. Prentice is Dead.

The telegraph reports announce the
death Of GEO. D. Prentice, the vet
eran editor of the Louisville, Ken
lucky Journal. Our earliest ~recollec-
ton of him as an editor was thirty
years ago, when we were an appren-
tice in a Kentucky newspaper office.
Mr.. Prentice was then in his prime as
a man and an editor. He was the I'M
faltering champion Of HENRY CLAY
from beginning TO end. In his palmy
days he had no superior as a newspa-
per writer. As a wit, none eXcelled
him. AS a poet, he ranked with the
best Of the land. While like the
rest of mankind, he had his faults,
he "goes down to the grave with hon
OTIS thick upon him." at nearly the
2 Of man-''three score years and
ten" He was sixty-eight years OF
age. "Peace to his ashes" May the
world be favored with more such men

Indian Affairs.


Hon JNO. TAFFE, u worthy and
efficient Representative in Congress
has, among other important measures
inaugurated by him, introduced a
Joint Resolution to disincumber the
public domain from so-called Indian
Title. The following is the copy Of
the resolution which was read a first
and second time, and referred to the
committee ON Indian Affairs:
Joint Resolution to disincumber the
Public DOmain of the sO-called In
dian Title.
Be IL resolved by the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the
o United States of America in Congress
assembled, That after the expiration
Of one year from the passage of this
Joint resolution, the public domain of
the United States shall be held to be,
and shall be treated in all respects as
disincumbered Of the sO-called Indian
Title.
This is an important movement in
the right direction, and we are re-
joiced that il halls from a Represen-
tative from Nebraska. The recOgni-
ton Of Indian Titles and Indian
Treaties have always been humbugs
of the most enlarged magnitude. The
Indian needs to be treated just what
he is in reality-the ward of the Ma
tion-made amenable to vi laws and
subject to its penalties, and when he
arrives at a suitable periOdi in advance
ment, either by the infusion of pure
white blood, or natural development,
make him a citizen, entitled.tO equal
rights and privileges under the law.
We see by late accounts from Wash
ington that the Commissioners have
resolved to request the Secretary Of
the Interior to recommend to Con-
gress a liberal appropriation for edu-
cational purposes, to be expended
among tribes and bands gathered on
reservations and in other permanent
homes, and 10 put the expenditures of
moneys not otherwise provided for,
under the direction of the Secretary,
and to place all schools for Indians or
dered by the Government, under the
inspection of said Commissioners or
other authorized agents. They also
agree In asking appropriations to aid
in locating Indians on permanent
Reservations. Break up treaty ma
king with Indians ; make him amen
able to our laws; give him the advan-
tages of education /; locate him perD1d-
nentLy; deal fairly and promptly with
him-prOmpt in punishment where
needed, as well as in rewards-and a
very few years will do away with
Border Indian Wars, which thus far
has cost the country ten thousand dol
lars in money, and the lives of ten
white men for every Indian Scalp
o obtained.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

Our notice of the "ReUOIutiOn" last
week-the Woman's Rights paper
caused us to receive a complimentary
letter from a lady, in which, among
other thing, she says "I am glad to
know that you are on the side of
woman's rights" Yes, my friend,
we arc on the sideOf ~O09Rdn's rights
on the side Of the rights of all man
kind. But do not understand the
friendly editorial notice we gave the
ReUOEutiOB newspaper, to mean an en-
dorsement of the now much talked of
and understood policy of "female suf-
frage." We do not nov propose to
enter into a detailed discussion of this
subject-may, when circumstances
and time will better permit. To not
be misunderstood, however, we say
that individually, we are opposed to
the passage of alaw by either ation-
al or State authorities, imposing the
elective franchise upon the women of
this land. We use the words impOs-
ing in place Of comforting, as is usual
in this connection, because we consid-
er il more appropriate. Confer, Web
ster says, means to grant favors,
benefits" Impose meansto burden,
tax, toll" says the same authority,
we believe to olothe woman with the
elective franchise, would be to impose
a duty, not confer a favor. We be-
lleve fully and to the utmost extent
in her purity, power, efficiency and
capability ; and as fully that all these
essentials would be lessened, when
she "dabbles in the dirty pool of poll
tics" We do not believe as is assert
ed, that the exercise Of the elective
franchise win elevate man 20 any
great extent, at least; but on the con-
trary, that the true and pure sphere
and usefulness Of woman, would be
lowered. To-day, woman rules and
governs the enlightened, refined and
intelligent portion Of the world,
through the channels, andin that way
designed by her CreatOr-she gives it
its tone and'character; and when her
present relations and sphere are
changed, these great results are lost,
or at least greatly impaired. Extend
the elective franchise TO woman, and
as a rule, that portion Of them who
to-day rule the world for good, would
not participate. And yet, with these
ideas, when we are convinced that 3.
majority Of the woman Of the land
wish to enjoy the elective franchise,
we would be willing to extend It to
them.
But we promised not to enter into
this question in detail at present.

BRowNvILLE, NEB., Jan. "a, 20.
Mr.. EDITOR:
1t may be interesting to some Of
your readerst to know the result of the
series of meetings just closed i'll the
Baptist Church in this city.
The meeting began at the close Of
the week of prayer, preaching every
night by the Pastor, and meetings for
conference and prayer in the day.
A general interest prevailed among
the members, and all who wee regu-
Iarly in attendance, and the influence
of the spirit of God was present in
this refreshing and converting power.
For two Sabbaths we found it nee
essary to remove the covering which
stern winter had thrown owe the
bosom of the ''old Missouri"-Our
Jordan-tO find a liquid grave in
which to bury two willing converts in
the semblance of the SaviOur's death.
AS the result of christian effort thus
far since the completion Of our new
house of worship, we have received
twelve accessiOns to our members ;
among others, the former worthy in
cumbent of the editorial chair of your
most excellent paper, J. S. Church.
If his career as a journalist is any cri-
terion to Judge Of his subsequent eff
forts in in christian enterprise, we are
encouraged to expect much. He is a
host-a whole "church" himself.
One more stands as a candidate for
the ordinance of baptism ; others are
enquiring the way of salvation.
Our Sabbath School has increased
from thirty to over seventy-fve, with
good interest. Our Superintendent,
ALI. w. Morgan, is a live man, and
the right man in the right place.
Our Pastor, Rev. T. S. Lowe, labor
ed necessarily with characteristic
zeal, preaching and talking for over
two weeks with great acceptance to
the people, especially on last Sabbath
morning and night to q large and at
tentive audience, two able discOurses
were delivered which called forth
general praise.
The close of these meetings mark
an era In the history of u little
church.
