Ovstcrmen,s Asssciation j,

The Philadelphia Oystermen's Asso-
citation, which is the leading spirit in
the trade, will, probably, after the first
of January, transfer Its business to the
foot of Brown street, Philadelphia, Pa,
occupying portion of the River Market
there. Negotiations to this effect are
pending and will, probably, be consum-
mated in few days. With them is ex-
pected to go the greater part of the
business transacted at the present site,
as the facilities at the new location are
said to be far superior to those now pos
sessed, giving double the dock room and
four times the wharf space for unload
ing and shipping.

RUFUS PoPE, alias Il. ID. Chase,
the noted bigsmist, of Lincoln, had
his trial the other day before Judge
Pound. He was confronted in court
by his first and his second wife, and
after hearing the testimony, the jury
retired and returned iuto court
again in exactly two minutes, with
a verdict of guilty of bigamy. He
had not received his sentence,
but it was thought that Judge
Pound would give him the full
penalty,-seven years in the peni-
tentiary.
STErs have recently been taken
by the members of the board of the
the capitcl-addition building at
Lincoln, to let the contract,
and after estimating the incidental
expenses of the board, and for ad-
vertising, plans, &C., which taken
from the $4,000 appropriated, the
board would have $4,000 with
which TO construct the building.
They have made pretty good start
to take out the head of the pile
$4,000 before the law appropriating
the money shall be declared uncon-
stitutional.
IT is stated upon good authority
that the senators and representatives
in Congress from Nebraska have
urged the President to appoint the
secretary of war from west of the
Missouri river, alleging as the rea-
son, that the army has become moth
I ing but a protecting force for the
border states. This will be toler-
ably good Office while peace pre-
walls, but during time of war has
its cares, anxieties and responsible

Don't be Frightened, COaxed
or Deceived.

Making an estimate from last
years actual vote in Platte county,
by adding the came per cent. Of gain
that we have had of population, the
vote on the bonds will be 1900. One
third Of this is, say 434, two-thirds
SCI. 1t is altogether too much to
expect a unanimous vote--as it
ought to be,-but the friends of COM
petition should see to it that no
effort is spared to make it as nearly
so as practicable. Every intelligent
voter acknowledges the dcsirability
of competition. All who have in
vestigated the situation recognize
the necessity of competition, and the
Importance of securing this southern
line. The propositions have carried
Seward and Butler counties by
sweeping maj critics, and the came
should be true of Platte county.
Your vote is your own, and should
be under the control of your own
intelligence, unbiased. Depend upon
it, the heart of the people is right in
this matter. Don't allow the Union
Pacific II. II. Co. or any of its agents
to .frighten or cOac or decetce you
into voting against this proposition.
1t is only such men that are actively
engaged in the canvas against this
proposition. They stand in a some
what similar relation before the jury
of the people as does an attorney to
a client in court, who may speak
either his real sentiments or those
merely that best suit the exigencies
of the client. Think of the situation
of the Union Pacific Co. i'm this con-
test, and you can very readily see
what those eXigencies are. She pays
about one dollar in five of the taxes
of Platte county, and will therefore
paw one-fifth of all the A. & n. road
will cost the county. Aside from
this the actual loss to the U. p, in
decreased profits, for transporting
our products will, at fair estimate,
be 100000 year. 1t will be seen
that she is doubly interested against
the bonds, while the citizens of the
county at large are doubly interested
for the bonds. In contest Of this
kind whom can the U. p. get as ac-
tive workers for her? Evidently
those who are tied TO her by obliga-
tions of some sort, more or less
strong--favors received, favOrs
promised, or favors expected. There
may, possibly, be exceptions to the
application of this general principle,
but it is extremely difficult for can
did men to believe that there is one
voter in Platte county ,corking hard
against the bonds, turning erery
stone an faror Of the Union Pacific
II. II. Co., scho does so because his
soul is in the UOrk.
'Great is Diana of the Ephesians, "
which in this case means, if they
don't make at least a show of work
their occupation would be gone.

EDITOR JOURNAL: As you will

payer | would like to ask the friends
of that soulless corporation, the Z.
P, what will we gain suppose the
U. z. builds all or part of the wild
cat roads surveyed and promised
through this county? The main line
of the U. P, like the deadly Upas
tree withering everything within
its influence, now finds advocates
for an extension of its cursed
branches up through this fair coun-
try. Are they not satisfied with the
bondage we have experienced in
the past from the extortions Of the
U. p, and now that helping hand
is extended to us they seek TO make
our bondage perpetual by opposing
our true friends from the southeast
and encouraging more links to the
CALLING chain we have worn for
years. Let all the natural road beds
in this county (the Valleys be mo-
nopolized by the U. p, and what
will the county amount to? Bene-
dict Arnolds in our midst may
work, directly and indirectly, in the
interests of our Oppressor, but all
true friends of the people who ex-
pect to make this their home for the
future will stand by the bonds of
the A. & N, even though the U. p.
has TO pay part of them.

Can Jay Gould Buy the A. Il n?


pany, now canvassing this county
for the purpose of defeating the
A. & n. bonds, are very industri-
ously circulating the report that Jay
Gould has been negotiating for the
A. & n. road and is able to buy it
if he wishes. They further claim
that the A. T. n. is little branch
road and cannot stand alone if the
great railroad gambler wants it.
Now, is this so? In the first place
the company that owns the A. & N.
owns 1900 miles of road, every part
of which is necessary to make the
whole worth anything. Eighty per
cent. of this stock is owned by Ma
thaniel p. Thayer and his family, of
Boston. Mr.. Thayer also owns
controlling interest in the great Fort
Scott coal fields, and those immense
interests depend for their value on
the A. & N. road. Now is it likely
that these wealthy Bostonians are
going to place their great coal prop
erty at the mercy of Jay Gould, by
selling the road that makes it valu-
able? No, that is not likely; and
these same U. z. employees have
been instructed to tell the people
that Jay Gould can force them. The
next question is can that little
scheme be carried out? In the first
place, Jay Gould is a railroad stock
gambler, and never bought a share
of stock as Legitimate investment
in his life. He buys railroad stock
as gambler bets on a corner, and
never to improve its intrinsic value.
He is variously estimated to be
worth from one to five millions of
dollars, but the great commercial
agencies refuse to report him be-
cause they can't tell whether he is
worth dollar or not. Now who
is N. p. Thayer. He is the richest
and most honored man in Boston.
For years the head of the Chinese
tea trade, he accumulated immense
wealth. Some years ago he got
out of the shipping business, and
invested money in the Fort Scott
coal fields. But coal property at
the mercy Of a railroad amoInts to
nothing, so the coal king bought
stock in several railroads and to-day
owns nearly all the stock in the
A. & N. Unlike Jay Gould, he has
wealth that can be rated, and Dunn
Barlow & Co., the great mercantile
agency of New York and Boston,
estimate his wealth from thirty-four
to thirty-si1 millions. This gentle
man is not stock gambler like
Gould, but as fine representative
of the old Puritan merchant as the
old Bay State can produce. He
wants to build the A. & N. road
through to Columbus and then
through our county to sell his coal,
and it is because he will sell this
coal from five to six dollars per
ton that Jay Gould's servants make
such infamous assertions to our
farmers. This is why James North,
the U. p. coal dealer, is so busy,
and this is why the man who burns
coal ought to be busy on Saturday
next voting for the A. e n. road.
Men Of Massachusetts-and there
are some of them among us--you
know that what l say of the Thay-
ers is true. You know that their
word is sacred and when they say
that Jay Gould can't buy the A. &
N, that promise is as good as q
bond. Tell this to the men who
don't know so much about the mat
ter as you do and Jay Gould will
no longer have the farmers and
merchants of Platte county by the
throat. FAIR PLAY.
