The Republican Valley in Nebraska
Good News For The Farmers.

The Republican Valley in Nebras.
ka is one OF the most lovely regions
in the state. Its settlement extends
only over two or three years, and its
people are still on the frontier. The
farmers who came to the Valley with
small means, are yet poor, not having
had timo TO become fOrehanded' and
the last years crop failure was a
severe blow to them, But the
country has been liberal to them; and
just now the prospects ere cheering.
A well Informed correspondent, writ
ing from Red Cloud, in Webster
county, end extending his observation
over Nuckolls county, (Which is also
in the Republican Vallcy,) says;
CATER most diligent inquiry, |
have not found any one who has
either seen the eggs or the young of
tho grasshoppers; and there are no
indications which point TO any dan
ger from the hopper this year. The
prospects in every respect for an
abundant crop arc cheering, and were
never better in our experience. The
number of acres sown to small grain
is double the number of 1874. We
have barley and some little rye, but
the great crop is wheat. The corn
about three-fourths the quantity of
last year. This grain is all planted
much of it is up, standing well and
looking nicely. A considerable
amount of broom corn and sorghum
is also planted. The smalI grains
presents . healthy, Vigorous appear
ancc; and the favorable weather is
crowding the crops along"

High Testimony.

Col. William NJ. Grosyenor, of st.
Louis, it will be recollected, was one
of the foremost originators of the
Liberal party of 1872, and with con-
sisteney that proves him honest yet,
maintains his position OF independence
Of either the Democratic or Republi-
can parties. He is one of the able
politicians Of the country, and having
long been a resident of Missouri is
qualified to express just opinion Of
parties in that State and the west
He recently wrote letter to the New
York Tribune to show the Democrats
of the West are throwing away the
best chances they have had for years.
He says thgt the independent U0ters
generally, and the Germans uoterS in
particular Of st. Louis, are nor deter
mined to oUertbr0v the Democratic
party Only the Catholics are earn
est in its support. They have good
reason to be grateful to the Democ
racy. Twelve out of fifteen candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket last
April were Catholics, and were chosen
because they were such. An hide
pendent movement at that time under
taken was partly defeated When
the Democratic Mayor died another
was nominated; and this time the In
dependents fairly won the day, but
were counted out by fraud. The
Whishey Ring in St. Louis, also, is
Thoroughly Democratic, and controls
every newspaper in the city. These
are some of the reasons Mr.. Grosve-
nor gives for believing that honest
men in Missouri have lost faith in
Democratic professions of reform, and
mean from this time to bend all their
energies to comprising the defeat Of
B0urb0nism and corruption. Mr.
Grosvenor proceeds to show that sim
liar evidences of aoant Of principle, and
mere greed for p0loer, are every day
exhibited by the Democratic party
throughout the West, and are rapidly
destroying confidence in the ability of
the party to be honest even for a fetO
months, when the prize before them,
and depending upon their appearance
OF virtue, is so magnificent What
could be expected, then, Of the Dem
ocratic party if it should win the
prize, and place no check upon its in
diligence?

G0HO On Wednesday of next week
the Republicans of Wisconsin will
select from their ranks the several
candidates for the State offices to be
voted for at the next November cleo
ton. With good men on our ticket
we shall win glorious victory.
With bad men, we shall be defeated;
as we ought to be. No question of
party expedency should stand in
the way of putting good men in
nomination. Office must be given to
q man because of his honesty and
general ability TO fill it with credit to
himself and the public, not because of
his peculiar service TO the party.
Where integrity, ability and political
activity are combined in one man,
there will be risk in selecting him for
any office of trust or profit. But in
tegrity and ability should be insisted
upon, as personal qualifications, OBJ
soluteIy necessary for a public official
If Republicans will keep this high
standard before them, we shall enter
the fall campaign stronger than ever
before. Our principles are good, our
party record is brilliant, and all that
is now needed is the nomination of
men who will live up to the one and
do no discrcdit to the other.
