but it would hardly be advisable for
anybody to risk a great deal of money
on such O possibility. The rise has
been so sudden and great that a re-
action nay set in at any time, though
there is no great likelihood that bot
tom prices will be reached again this
year. The advance at Chicago and
Milwaukee, the two great spring
wheat markets of the West, have had
the effect of checking shipments ma
terially, while receipts must increase
In consequence of the general desire

husheI. Winter wheat has gone up
steadily with spring, and the receipts
at st. Louis TO date are much larger

ous year. If the advance holds
through the year it will put at least
$50 OOO. 600 into the pockets of farmers
more than they would have received

The underlying principle of the Re-
Republican party In Nebraska is
"Shall the L. P. and B. & NJ. be the
ruling power?" The people have
everything to gain by voting against
such a party-LincOlR Democrat.
And the underlying, and everything
and sidelying, and endlying, and in
sidelying, and outsidelying Of little
one horse Democratic newspapers, is
to lie about every political topic they
discuss. "Shall the U. P. and B. &
NJ. be the ruling power?'-the two
combined. This the Democrat objects
to, wanting only the U. P. to be the
ruling power, and slings dirt fol

1t may all be very well for the Post
Office department to threaten, as
stated in Washington dispatch this
morning, TO discontinue the postoffice
at Blackville, s. c., unless the chival-
ny thereabOuts stop shooting at the
colored postmaster. But wouldn't ii
be deal better for the government to
protect its officials everywhere ?
Instead of discontinuing the office
because OF the attempt to kill the col
ored postmaster, 1t might be well to
summarily compel Giscontinuance
of the bulldoZing deviltry. The gov
eminent ought to be strong enough
to maintain its pOstoffices against
such performance.-Inter Ocean.
Would not that be another cause
for the Democracy to reduce hearmy?

Gen. Ewing said. in speech he
made recently, at Cambridge, Ohio,
that he "did not believe there were
now 1000 sane men in the country
who believed In the right of seces'
sion." The La Grange, (Ga.) Re
porter SCOTS at this assertion. 1t says:
Gen. Ewing is doubtless honest IN
his views; but be is mistaken. There
are as many men as ever In the South
who believe In the right of secession
allowance for the old men
who have died and the young ones
who have grown up since the war
and who have no occasion at all tC
think on the subject.
Gen. Ewing does not believe what
he says. He knows better. But he's
a Democrat now and must resort tC
his party tactics - subterfuge and
falsehood-having hope only through
making the people believe lie is the
truth.

The Republican party Is the only
party on earth whose interests are
advanced by riot, violence. disorder,
resistance to law, bioOdshed and muir
der In the s0uth.-Ddle. VOrheeS.
Well, now, that is strange. We
would like to ask Daniel If the Inter
ests of the Democratic party are not
also advanced, TO some extent, by
riot, violence, disorder, resistance to
law, bloodshed and murder In the
South ?" If not, why are these
crimes being committed constantly by
the Democrats If there Is no inter-
ests served but those of Republicans,
why do the Democracy not stop their
devilment? 1t Is fact that most oi
the deabolism- of the South is of po-
litical inception, aud perpetrated to
boost Democracy; but If Daniel is
not entirely off his nuts, he thinks
the Republican party the only one
benefited. The Tall Sycamore fails
utterly to make his point in this.

Mr.. Morton, In his address to the
agTiculturists of Adams county, stated
the amount of revenue raised by tax
alton for state purposes with great
cleverness but he omitted to state
that with the revenue thus derived
the state had erected a penitentiary
costing upwards of$360. 600, and worth
that sum; an insane asylum costing
S900,0 and upwards; school for
the blind at Nebraska City costing
Sis, 600; school for the deaf and
dumb at Omaha worth $4,000, and
have laid the foundation of a reform
school at Kearney, beside caring for
the insane, the deaf, dumb and blind
and paying the current expenses of
the state government. A spirit of
fairness would seem to require that
In just criticism of state management
there should be an account taken ofthe
permanent improvements and bene-
fits to the people of the state from the
disbursements made to the moneys
raised by taxation.-Lincoln Journal.
