The editor of the Pawnee Tribune
got married a couple of weeks since,
and in the very first issue after his
marriage he penned an article denun-
ciatory OF gum smoking parties"
amongst young folks, whereat the
editor of the Democrat exhibits much
feeling and says that married people
have no Fight To interdict the inalien-
able privilege OF lads and lassies gum
sucking" and swapping spit. Our
nGighbor's mouth looks as though
there was considerable suction to it.

Editor of the Advertiser:
! read In your paper of December
18th an article copied from the Paw
nee Tribune rejecting unjustly upon
Judge u. ?. Mason, which article
feel it to be my duty, as citizen 10
answer.
You know do not agree with Judge
Mason. politically, yet | have always
witnessed, with pride, during my at
tendance on his court, the faithful,
impartial and fearless manner he has
discharged the duties of a Judge in
enforcing the laws of the State and.
as Judge, every good citizen should
uphold and defend him.
The Tribune charges, that at the
last District Court N Richardson
County he acted unbecoming judge
i'll charging the Grand Jury to indict
one Buel, editor of the Nebraska
Register at Rulo, and that he was
prompted by mere personal rancor,
sc. / was present at the time said
CHARGE WAS given to the Grand Jury,
and heard the outrageous and libel
Ous articles read from the Nebraska
Register calling prominent and re-
spectacle citizens of Richard ;0n
county, liars, thieves and scoundrels,
which words are libels according to
the laws of the land, and likely if un-
noticed by the courts lead to violence
and blUod-hed.
And if Judge Mason had failed TO
refer them TO The Grand Jury, as he
did, he would have been derilect in
his duty as public cOnservator Of
the peace. If the editor of the Ne
hFaska Register has violated the laws
of decency as . ell az The laws of the
St8te, he ought 10 answer for it, and
leain the difference between a free
press and licentious press. Every
good citizen Will uphold the former
and denOunce the latter.
Let the editor of the Nebraska Reg-
isfcr prove his libeIs and ISLANDERS, or
let him suffer the penalty of the law,
and learn in future that being the
owner of few type, does not license
IA man 10 blacken the name and Tepu-
t,.tion Of his fellow citizens.
As witness in nehHIf OF justice,
subscribe myself,

Dress does not make the man. but
that man looks the better for being
well dressed, cannot be disputed, and
the citizen of Brownviile who goes
shah1ilv attired has no excuse for his
dereliction of duty, inasmuch as HeI-
eel will dress him up from top to toe,
so that he will look the very gentle
man, for an infinitesimal small sum
of money, If you don't believe it
call on him and price his goods.

It is toiesabiy easy for a landlord to

Mrs. EbriEnt,s Lecture.

Mrs. Ebright was greeted on last
Saturday evening with large and
appreciative audience, and while
those present did honor to her. Mrs.
Ebright amply paid them in kind.
Her lecture was on the Woman Suf-
frage question, from an anti-woman
suffrage standpoint. She argued that
the want of the nation and world
was men, and ma'ie il appear that the
going through the streets at midday
with lantern n hand, in search OF Ii
man, was not. after all 50 ludIcTOus
in the ancient philosopher. What
was needed was strong men, men
str Ing in muscle. brain and moral de-
velopmeRt. Her aisu-ions to the
marriage state, 10 the natural yearn
iugs OF woman for man she could
cal! her own. and her animadversions
on IcentiOu- man an! false woman.
We're cOuched in language. closely
allied to poetry, each sentence of
which found lodgTnent in the reason
of every hearer and echos from the
hearts OF all.
The general expression was that
Mrs. Ebright's is the peer of any lady
lecturer in the field, and the superior
of majority of them. Her appear
ance. gestieulation, articulation, easy
manner and the matter" of her lee
ture, worked upon the admiration of
all, and when she concluded, the
hearty plaudits of her hearers follow
ed her off the platform. We hope
snon again to he favored with like
feast.
