OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
An Irate Citizen Condemns a
Nuisance.

M-. Editor:-Whether you are
aware of it or not, this community
looks to you to use your great inhu-
ence to break down and utterly des-
trey the great nuisance Of begging for
Church Fairs. You may rest assured
the sentiment is fast gaining ground
that it is better let any Of the
churches 90 down, Ia ner than to be
rroFped up by the development and
cultivation of this despicable begging
propensity. Discuss the question,
Mr.. Editor, and you will not only do
the general public a favor, but in the
end benefit the churches that have so
reol<Iessly and ruthlessly availed
Themselves of this more than ques-
tionable method to replenish their
treasures. ANTI-FAIR.

EcKEART MINES, Jan. 9Th, 1879.
Mr. Editor :---Iu your last week 8
paper saw a letter FROM Eckhart on
the paramount issue"-tLe financial
question. The writer describes very
pathetically how in tie year 1875 he
was in a very precarious state "as to
which of the proposed rlana was
right" He was, as it were, haltjng
fetwoon two opinions, but he had &C.
casion to visit certain lady, and
had the temerity to 1isscuss "oor ma
TONS financial at with one of
the "weaker vessels ard under the
influence Of the burning eloquenco
and pungent arguments Of this
daughter Of Eve" "Pro Bono Publ
CO. received new light; the cobwebs
Of financial heresv were swept from
his lnuddled brain. | Judge from
that day to this "Pro Bono PubIico"
has kept the faith, fought the good
fight, and out of the exuberanco Of
his Joy was led to exclaim, on last
New Years morning, that Eve hail
with delight the day in which our
nation hegina honest payment of her
obli2 ations, &C., Sc. This Jealous
goldito has advanced SO far in the
school Of politics that he has started
The business Of making Presidents" ."
In this connection he says "and there
is possibility Of finding in 1881 Sec
retary Sherman presiding in tho exc,
cutive mansion over a happy and
prosperous people" We rather think
the American people will not verify
the prediction, Of PRO Bono Pubi.co"
by placing John Sherman in the pres
identiaI chair in 1881. The people

ready a bell rings. Then another
bell rings. Then the engine Whistles

the conductor tells the station master
that all is ready. Then the station

Along the Line.

From q lengthy editorial in the
Lincoln Journal setting forth the
advantages to Lincoln of the pro-
posed road, we clip:
"Propositions have been submitted all
along the proposed line Of the Lincoln
and Northwestern II. Il. as far as c olum-
bus, and the prospects are good for the
success Of the bonds and the building
of the road. There is little doubt that
this city or the precincts in which it
lies, whichever way the bonds may be
submitted here, will vote the compare
lively small sum agreed upon between
the projectors of the line and the public
meeting recently held here-$25,OOO in
bonds or a5 per cent. of that amount in
cash."
At Seward the people became dis
gusted with the talk of Claudius
Jones and Z. c. Carnes, of q straw
railroad, and are enthusiastically in
favor of the new line from Lincoln,
to be built by the "A. & N. interest.
The county has been asked $50, 600 /;
the precincts, $4,000, all that they
can legally vote. The Reporter
publishes a letter from a business
man in Tecumseh, whose name we
do not now recall, which shows in
what estimation the management is
held:
81 have been acquainted with the
management of the A. 4 n. company
from its inception up to the present
time, land can cOnscientiously recon-
mend it to your people as being excep-
tionally liberal i'm its management. 1t
identifies itself with the people in all
their interests, and is in no sense a soul
less corpofation.' No other road in the
west can boast of equal popularity with
the people on its line. Mr.. l.. W.
Towne, the present Superintendent, is
emphatically a peoples man. He is
frank, genial, apprOachable gentleman,
and a thorough business man, and al
WAYS keeps his word. The people of
your county can rely..upOn any represen-
tatatiOns he makes to them, and the
faithful performance Of any contracts
entered into.
In Butler county the question of
voting bonds has been submitted, to
the county at large for $50, 600; and
to Union precinct for $1,000; to
Center for $4,000; to Savannah for
$4,000 ito Olive for $4,000; Franklin,
$4,000; Ulysses,s9, 600; Spurck, $S,-
500, the election to take place on
the 9th day OF June next.

The case Of Standing Bear, the
Ponca Indian hdbeas corpus case
recently pending in the U. S. Court
at Omaha, was decided last week,
and is regarded as of very great
importance to the Indian bureau at
Washington, as well as to the whole
race of Indians within our borders.
The present decision of the court
not only releases Standing Bear and
his party from the custody of the
army, but prohibits the use of the
army to force Indian tribes to re-
side on reservations against their
will. The district attorney Lam
bertson has appealed the case to the
circuit court, and we presume it
eventually will be taken to the su-
preme court.

THERE was a report reached Nor
folk, Neb., last week that the Spot
ted Tail Indians had shot and killed
one of McCann's herders on the
Niobrara river. The Indians bad a
large number of ponies stolen by
white men and had recovered near
Iy two hundred and it is supposed
that the Indians mistook the herder
for a horse thief and shot him.
There appears to be no necessity for
alarm, on account of the appearance
of Indians in the Elkhorn valley.

PREsIDET HAYES on the 18th re-
turned to the house of representa-
tives the bill entitled can act TO
prohibit military interference at
elections, with his objections which
contains some unanswerable argu.
ments against the bill. He says call
the teaching of experience in the
past history of the nation favor the
sustaining of the law of 1892, 1895
and 1907 and remained the law until
July %, 1861, when the same pro-
visions substantially were incorpo-
rated into the present law and ap-
proved by President Lincoln. 1t is
the same law i'm principle under
which President Washington sup
pressed the rebellion in Pennsylva-
MIA in 1874. President Jefferson
broke up the Burr conspiracy in
1906 on the same principle and under
the same law. President Jackson
crushed notification in South Caro-
lima; with the same authority Pres
ident Lincoln put down the great
rebellion of 1861. 1t would not do
in any possible view of the case to
take away the power of the govern
ment to use the military in checking
unlawful resistance to the laws Of
the nation. Viewing the bill in this
light President Hayes was compell-
ed veto the bill, which otherwise
would have left the government
without legal authority to enforce
the laws and preserve the peace of
the nafiOn
