- The Legislature of the State Of
New York passed local option law;
that is, passed a law giving the people
of 2 townships of the State, the right
to ze whether or not lisence shall
be granted to applicants to retail spir-
itous liquors. Gov. Dix has vetoed
the bill. In his veto, the Governor
says:
Il submit that, in order to afford
the largest liberty in the action they
we're called on to take at the coming
election, the people should have had
the opportunity of saying whether the
prohibition should embrace ardent
spirits only, or whether it should ex
clude the lighter beverager.
A new bill has been introduced,
however, that will probably not be OBJ
jectional to the Governor. We fail to
see, however, that the lighter beverage
such as wine, ale and beer are any
more innocent of making man drunk
en-, demoralized and criminal than the
more condensed alcoholic drinks; the
only difference is that a man can be
come intoxicated by converting him
self into a demUohn, in one case
while in the other, he becomes bee

Nebraska Letter.
CHAPMAN, MERRIcK Co., NEE,
Nav 29th, 1873.

CHAPMAN, MERRICK Co., NEB-, I
May 29th, 1873.
EDS. HERALD:-1t is quite amusing to read
the exaggerated accounts we see in the East
ern papers about the great snow storm that
occurred in Nebraska the 18th, I4th and 18th
Of April, and especially the one in your paper
ofthe 22d of May, copied from the New York
World
The correspondent of the World was Ger
tainly not in the storm, and hardly think he
was in the State at that time, or he would not
have made so many gross mistakes. live at
Chapman, Nebraska, which was near the cen
ter of the storm East and West, and would
say the storm was terrible enough without
exaggeration. The wind blew with great
violence, yet have not heard of one of the
many little balloon frame houses that are dot
ted over the prairie-such al an Eastern farmer
would be afraid to live in--being blown over,
and OF but one beng unrooted, and have heard
of no cars being blown from the track, or of
any solid masonry blown over. The snow
filled the air SO thick that it was impossible
to go any distance to see a rod, yet it was
not dark, or nothing near Egyptian darkness,
and was not very cold, for the snow melted
all the time Of the storm. Yet, stock suffered
| terribly on account of the wet snow and driv-
ing wind, and it is impossible to give an es-
| innate of the cattle and horses that persisted
| But 50 far as l have heard, there were but six
or seven persons persisted. One old gen
tleman near eighty years old, living on a
claim three miles North of Chapman, perished
trying to get to his son-i laws, q half a milk
| distant. A young man fifteen or sixteer
years old, connected with the printing Office
at Lone Tree, left the office to go to the hotel
and got lost and was found after the storm
in the Platt River dead. A trapper on Prairi,
Greek, persisted in a stable. A family, excep
a small child, perished on the Loup. Nom
Perished at Chapman or Grand Island, and
have not heard of any at Gibben or any of tn
other places, as stated by the correspondent
of the World.
Yet, Notwithstanding all this. the Plat
Valley is as healthy and as fine looking coun
try as any one ever saw, and has as goo
soil. Nebraska is destined not far in th
future, to rank as one of the first as grail
growing State; but / don't think it will eve

Execute the Laws.

We regard it rs q correct maxium that he
who is not a law-abiding citizen, is not
good citizen, and we appeal to the good sense
of the people to say whether we are not correct
in this sentiment. Loyalty to the government
and obedience to its laws on the part of the
people are indispensable to good government
If the laws are not in accordance with the
principles of the greatest good to the greatest
number, which, we take it, is the object of our
government and laws. The government itself
has pointed out the mode by which the cor
Tective is to be applied.
There is in our country and in our very
midst. growing disregard for law and order,
and laws are violated with much imnun-
ity as though they were the mere literary
productions of modern novel writer, to be
Obeyed and respected or not, as the individual
feels inclined, or as he may deem most in ac-
cordance with his individual interests, re-
gardless of the rights and interests of his
neig bors. or the effect of his violations upon
the morals and well-being of the community
in which he lives.
This bold, reckless, defiant disregard and
violation Of the laws o. our country Is beeom-
ing a terror in the land. So long has this
class of outlaws been permitted to trample
down State and municipal law, that they
fancy themselves the power in the country
aboVe-er rather below--the reach of the legal
enaetments Of the government, State and mu-
nieipal. These are facts that are as plain to
the man who keeps his eyes open as the noon
day sun.
Is this reckless disregard for law and the
rights of 9th ers becoming terror in the landi
We will answer this question by asking
another: Why is it that men who respect the
laws of their country, are afraid to enter com
plant against violatOrs and have the penalties
Of the law inflicted upon them? Why, few
evenings since, we heard this given as the reG
son (and the names of persons were given:)-
They are afraid that if they enter complaint
And have the offenders suffer the penalties o
the law, their houses and barns may be burned
AOwA or they may be personally injured.
These are the kind of terrors that these reckless
daily Vi0Isbors of law and order are absolutely
encouraging. and when they have succeeded
in this, we may bid farewell to the restraint
Of all civil Law, and prepare to take the fear
full results of being rnled by the rabble. Thi
is matter thnt should receive the serious re
Election of all good men. No man should b
afraid to do right, aud no man should be to-
eowardly to do his share in the execution of tn
laws Of his country.

A Labor Revolution.

We are rapidly drifting toward a
condition of anarchy, so far as the re
lation of labor to capital is concerned.
The bootmaker cannot promise
pair of boots because, he says, ''the
men are on strike;" the slivery keep
er can't let a horse go because the
horseshoers are on strike and every
horse that is shod is out. The spirit
of antagonism which these frequent
strikes are creating is alarming. In
England the differences between farm
ers and farm laborers have increased. {.
The farmers have combined against
the "National Agricultural Unionists, J"
and every strike is to be followed by
what is known as a ''look out" This
organization (above- named) propose
retaliation, and have resolved, if pos
sible, to prevent the harvesting of the
hay and grain crops; indeed, they
have paid agents stumping Ireland, to
warn Irishmen from going to Eng
land.
An Edinburgh paper says 1.-THE
matter is now assuming a very grave
form to the community generally, and
if the bitterness of strife continue
if the corn be allowed to lie waste up
on the ground-in spite of Free Trade
the industrious classes may expect tc
have to pay double the price for theil
loaf, and meat will rise altogether be
yond their means"
We quote the above to call attcn
ton to the fact that this condition O
antagonism is generally created by ;
few turbulent fellows of the baseI
sort, who really have not whit of tn,
welfare of working. men at heart
They are blatant demagogues, as
rule-willing to foster any disruption
Of the existing order of things tina
will but throw themselves to the sur
face and give them notoriety and som
pay for doing nothing. These me-
will one day wake up to find thei
names execrated by the men that ar
now promising to benefit by provok
ing them into idleness, if not aggres
sive warfare on their employers.

Railroad Time and Fares.

The contest between the farmers
and the railroad authorities in Illinois
has reached phase which promises
very little in the way of reform. The
farmers have lost their temper, and
have demanded changes and regula-
lions to which railroads cannot can
sistently submit. The railway manag
ers have agreed to make no opposi
ton to any laws which may be passed.
but they give fair notice that they ill
henceforth operate their lines on a
strictly paying basis. Their time
schedules will be reconstructed the
lightning express trains and fast
freight lines will be discontinued
Luxurious cars will be dispensed with
and while the passenger will be allow :
ed to ride for three cents a mile, he
must not complain if he has to ride
twenty miles all hour instead of thirty,
and sit on a hard seat during the jour
neY.
If less than car load of frei chit is
offered at any place, the car will be de
tached until it is filed up, and left to
wait the next train. The expensive
uiSn pressure lASG lIeISuI aAO paSSeu-
ger trains will be run on a more eco
nomical slow coach basis. Half full
freight cars and partially laden trains
will cease to run. Cars and freight
trains will be left at localities unit
they are full, and then, and then only
will they be moved to their destina-
ton.
1t looks therefore, as though, wher
it comes to Regulating" the railroad
by law they will have hold of the
| long end of the rope as usual, and car
retaliate with very palpable effect

Lumber Business.

Among the most important indus
tries of the country, is lumber interest.
From the tenor of our exchanges we
gather that the lumber products, par
ticularly in the west, will this year be
enormous. The heavy spring fresh
cts in the water courses which flow
through the pinories have been sweep
ing, and greater than for several years.
Logs cut one and two years ago, and
which have lain on the banks of the
streams in tue depths OF the forests
awaiting rise in the waters to float
them off, but which never came till
now, have been brought down to the
mills and will be made into lumber,
furnishing an amount to the markets
which they have not seen i'll years.

It looks very much now a.

though General Tom Ewing would be
tue Democratic candidate for Govern
or. In fact, there is no opposition to
him. But Mr. Ewing is a member of
the Constitutional Convention, and a
good many questions are coming up
which have two sides to them. He
may not be so popular on the 9th day
of August as he is now. General Sam
Cary has his eye on the Gubernatorial
Chair. He thinks his time has come,
although he has no claims. He knows
somebody in every community in the
State, and if nominated he would give
the State such a shaking up as Kent
received at the hands of Jack Cade.-
He would give them the gospel from
the housetops and the highways. He
has bowels and they yearn for the og-
ricultural community. The farmers

just in the same proportion as intem
perance increases, crime increases in the coun-
try consequently in the same ratio that you
prohibit intemperance, you decrease the
amount of crime. Intemperance is not, how
ever, the cause of all the crime committed
nor all intempcrate men guilty of committing
crimes in legal sense; but they are guilty oi
a great moral crime. and are certainly more
likely to violate the laws of their country
when intoxicated than when sober; and i
caunot be denied that nine out of ten of the
criminal acts, are directly or indirectly the
result of intemperance.

At a meeting of the Railroad
Association, held in this city, depu-
taUion from the Brotherhood OF engi-
neers urged the importance of placing
in the constitution of the Railroad As
sociationa a proviso, compelling each
engineer to sign total abstinence
pledge. The appropriateness of such
a measure, in order to the security OF
the lives Of the millions of travellers,
mus be apparent to every one. We
regard it as eminently right and prop
er for the directors of a railroad to
say TO every engineer who is to take
into bis hands the lives OF five hundred
persons, ''You cannot have the posi-
ton if you indulge in intoxicating
drinks" Such measure might save
many lives.-[N N. Y. Observer.

Convention will, in the amended Constitution
of our State, prohibit the issuing Oflicenses to

The question of extending the veto power
to the Governor of our State is being discussed
in the Constitutional Convention. The En-
quirer says:
The veto power is a good thing, but if Ohio
is going to keep on electing such Governors as
Noyes we will have to oppose it.
We may count upon the Enquirer's opposi-
ton to the veto power then, for Ohio is going
to keep on electing such Governors as Noyes,
