The Kearney Press and Brownvllle
ADVERTISER do not seem inclined TO
obey the party lash. If the various
journals would denounce corruption
wherever found, purity in politics
would soon be the rule rather than
the exception. The trouble is, too
many papers fear to print the truth.
Lincoln Globe.
This talk about the party lash
sounds very nice, and Is very compll-
mentary, and likewise very fattering;
but there is O vein Of ingnorance or
falsity-we cannot tell which-con-
tanned in 1t that Is eXcusable only
when found in an independent paper
with Democratic proclivities. The
Globe undoubtedly refers to the drub-
bing that the Press and ADVERTISER
are giving Church Howe, but for the
life of US, we cannot see what the par
ty lash has to do with it. They are
not using the aforesaid lash to make
good Republican out of Howe, but
are opposing him because he deserted
his party for gain and Is now playing
the role of the prodigal son, and fur
thermore because he Is said TO have
done that thing which no pured-min-
ed legislator should be guilty of-re-
ceiving a bribe. It is not necessary
for anybody to hold the party lash
over these to newspapers. We con-
slider them two of the straightest par
ty journals in the State, and II they
protest against the re-admission Of
renegades and bribe-takers into the
party we are at loss to comprehend
in what manner they are disobeying
the party lash.-Beatrice Express.
The Express hits the nail exactly on
the head.

United Action Among Republicans.

In Omaha there are two factions In
the Republican party bitterly oppos-
ed to each other. One Is headed by
Rosewater and the other by officials
in self defense against his bitter war
fare. We suggest If these opposing
elements cannot. adjust their difficult
ties, or at least enter the conventions
with the understanding that the los
ing party shall acquiesce in the will
of the majority. that the conventions
may see safety in ignoring, altogether.
the factions and rings in Omaha.
These quarrels should not be permit
ted to jeopardize the success of the
party.-BroaCnuiLle Advertiser.
We heartily and fully indorse the
suggestions of the editor of THE AD-
VERTISER. At the same time, we
would remind him that the faction"
here, which he designates as Officials,
stands as it has stood from the outset,
simply on the defensive. 1t is COM
posed of the great body of the Repub-
lican party in Omaha. including near
ly all its leading men, and no other
course would have been consistent
with their respect, not TO cay party 10y
atty. Whatever faction and Aghtlng
there have been, they are not RESPONSE
bic for. Mr. Hitchcock, the Govern
ment officials here, the owners and
friends of the Republican, and the
entire respectability of the party here
endure these things simply because 10
combat with them would be to add
fuel to the flame and make bad mat
ter worse. They have done so for the
peace of the party and for their own
peace of mind. They have done so
because to have deigned reply, even
would have necessitated their stoop-
ing to the use of the same base weap-
ons which the petty vile slaDderer
has used, and because no man can
handle pitch and not be defiled.
We agree with THE ADVERTISER
that the differences among Republi-
cans must cease. It is time, on the
eve of a mortal struggle against "a
common foe, that they stop fighting
one another. The Republican will
have no hand in any quarrel or strife
among Republicans. So far as its
course and influence can go, the Oma-
ha Republicans will go into the con-
ventiOns as one man. They Will do
their best to secure such action as they
deem wise, and after such course fair
ly and well taken, they can be relied |
on to sustain the platform and sup
port the candidates of the conven-
tions. If any paper here, protesting
TO be Republican, sees fit to continue
In its course of hostility to home in
terests in business and municipal az
fairs, and to keep on denouncing and
attacking everything republican.

SPECIAL CIRCULAR NUMBER ONE.
To the Patrons of Husbandry in Ne
braska.

We desire to call your attention to
the malicious libels circulated by the
Kearney Press and seconded by sever
al other papers in the state, against
the character and standing of our
Worthy State Master, Brother Church
Howe. Such charges without evil
dence of any kind whatever to sustain
them, are in our opinion wicked, ma
licious, and intended solely to bring
disgrace upon our order and destroy
it's usefulness. AS the slanderers,
when publicly called upon by our
worthy master to give evidence sus-
tanning said charges, have confessed
thei: entire inability to furnish such
proof. we do not hesitate to express
our entire disbelief in their assertions,
and earnestly request patrons through
out the State to unite with US in pub
fishing our condemnation of said un-
scrupulous attacks, and in sustaining
our worthy master in the work he Is
doing for our order, which was never
In more fiourishing condition than at
present. Let every subordinate
grange be heard from. By order of
the executive committee.
Z. Z. BEARDSLEY, CLERK.
In reference to the above the Kear-
ney Press says:
About the Especial circular Num-
Der l." published in this issue. we
have but O few words to say. It IL
well understood by the patrons of
husbandry in nearly all parts of the
state why Church Howe takes so act
i've an interest. That he will be able
to make that organization tool in
the hands of corrupt politicians and
we do not believe. There
is one glaring misstatement made in
this circular, which every reader of
the Press will notice. We never
confessed our inability to furnish
such proof" but on the contrary are
anxiously for an opportunity,
which we now believe Is not far dis
tant. The higher Mr.. Howe is boost
ed just that much further he will
have to fall. Circular number two,
when issued, we will gladly publish.
This "circular No. L" emanated
rom the State Executive committee, |
IF which Church Howe is chairman !

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Yours truly, w. A. Pollock, Post
Master and Secretary of the Republic
can County Committee, still hvess
moves, and has being. The man
that says that Pollock is dead, is liar
and villain. True he (PoIockl J. after
the unmerciful boxing he received
from DR.. Holiday In the Granger,
some years ago, retired from active
newspaper life, and that villainous
correspondent of the Lincoln Blade.
(Sedgwick,) reported him dead, and
all the world believed 1t. Sedgwick,
however, knew it was o lie all the
time he knew that Pollock was play
ing possum, and that at time you
did not expect, he would (like an old
sore) break out in fresh place, and
like an old sore. after the breaking
out, Pollock always feels better.
Well, the time has come, and Po-
lock has "done broke out" This
time 1t is In the Omaha Bee. Poor
Bee, 1 hope it viii recover. Let the
Bee man make out his bill of DANA
ges, and draw on me at sight, and l
will honor the draft. Let the young
men who part their hair in the mid
die, make out their bills for work and
labor, and present them to Church
Howe in person, and he will pay as
soon as he hears from Patrick.
The gentlemen who part their hair
in the middle have long felt the need
of a champion one who could and
would fearlessly WELD pen in their
behalf. They have waited long and
patiently for some able writer like w
A. Pollock, Post Master and Secretary
of the Republican County Committee,
to come to their rescue, until hope de-
ferred made their hearts sick. They
were exclaiming, "How long, o Lord,
how long!" when w. A. Pollock,
Post Master, and Secretary of the Re-
publican County Committee, took up
bis majestic form, lobored, and bro't
forth his famous letter in the Omaha
Bee of April Is, since which inter
esting event w. A. Pollock, P. M. and
Sec. of the R. G. c.. is doing as well
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances, and the gentlemen who
part their hair in the middle are hap
py.
wish to suggest to w. A. Pollock
P. NJ. and Sec. of the r. G. c., that
he is in error on the school question.
1. Mr.. Carson is not now, nor never
was, Presbyterian. 2. Mr.. Rich is
not now, nor never was, Presbyteri-
an. 8. The school board is not now,
never was, and never expects to be
Presbyterians. 4. The school board
is not now, never was, nor ever will
be close corporation. Neither was
there an effort made to make it q
Methodist school. This whole school
fuss might aptly be compared to that
historical tempest that took place in q
tea pot.
will venture one more suggestion
to w. A. P. P. NJ. & S. r. c. c..
that he enclose his letters In paren-
thesis (Which means, may be omitted
without spelling the sense.

We call attention to the card of the
executive committee OF the State
Grange generating Church Howe
from the charges against him.
Church's grange in Nemaha County
and several other oranges have pass
ed resolutions CT similar import. The
order is of course justifiable In pro-
tecting its members from the shafts of
SANDER, but we fear that the oranges
in question have acted to hastily in
the premises. Howe is chronic Of
fice-seeker, and his zeal in laboring
for the order has been actuated by the
prospects of securing some office.
Therefore instead of whitewashing
him the grange ought to make his
case subject of investigation.-Be-
dtrice Express.
It will take something more potent
than whitewash to save Church
Howe's bacon.
