wheeling Nails ana Canadian Tariff.
The Toronto Mail reprints in its editorial
columns statement olthe Detroit Erening
Meus that an American joint-stock com.
pany is being formed to carry on the bust
ness Of nail making at Walkervi!le. 1t
says 1.-THE duty Of 40 per cent prohibits
the importation OF nails from other Coun-
tries, and was intended to benefit two firms
-one in Montreal and the other in New
Brunswick. The manufacturers will be
able to put up the price to the full limit of
the import duty, and thus to tax for their
sole benefit every Canadian who has a
house or barn to build, box to put
together, or ajob OF repairing to do. The
Detroit men are coming over to share in
the plumber, and instead OF their manu-
factory being benefit to Canada, its
establishment will cause Canadians to con-
tribute to the fortune Of Yankee capitalists
and the maintenance Of Yankee work
men. Our country could well afford to
buy out the Canadian nail makers, to pen
sion of their men, and to pay the Ameri-
cans who are coming in to the share in
the good thing a heavy bride to stay at
home, il by SO doing Mr.. TiIlcy could be
induced to admit British nails free OF
duty

The New York Sun, which speaks
right out in meeting, and tells the
truth regardless of what party or indi-
vidual may be injured thereby, says
that affidavits were made at lewiston,
Maine, in the presence of its correspond
ent, that charge Republican leaders
with attempting bribery. 1t gives
names and dates to substantlate
what it asserts. Charles III. Foster, the
Station Agent at Leeds Center, who
has been "a Republican, and has a great
deal of Influence, testifies that promI-
nent lawyer of Winthrop said, "Fos-
ter, if you will resign the Craftsmanship
of the Greenback Club, join the Repub-
lican Club. and work and vote for
Davis, you can be appointed Postmas-
/ ter of Leeds, or if you prefer it, route
postal agency, or a clerkship at Wash
ington." Jacob K. Stevens. of Auburn,
and Moses Abbott, of Lisbon, swore
that they were offered money by one
Kimball to vote the Republican ticket.
1t is probable that these men, one of
whom at least is an influential citizen
in the neighborhood where he resides,
swear to facts, and if they do, it is a
sad commentary on the Blaine plan, "
as it is called, of carrying elections.

TEE. NEW YORK CONVENTION.

All signs oftassplit in the Democratic
party in New York had been dissipated
by the action of the State Convention
in nominating John C.. Jacobs, of
Brooklyn, for Governor by an almost
unanimous vote. The Tammany dele
gates were intent on boiling, and de-
clared that they would leave the con-
vention. in a body if Lucius Robinson,
the present. incumbent, was renoninat-
ed for Governor The delegates from
the rural. districts. were as emphatic in
their opposition to the demands of Tam
many and, favored Robinson. Oil was
poured on the troubled. waters by the
nomination of Jacobs, who, though he
did not seek the place, was acceptable
to all parties. The Democracy of the
Empire State, who two days ago was al
most hopelessly divided, then presented
an unbroken front oits opponents, and
would undoubtedly defeat Cornell, who
was placed on the Republican ticket by
Gonkling, and who is very, distasteful
to many leading Republicans, some of
whom have already publicly announced
their intention to vote against him.
he convention, however, reconsidered
IT'S action and nominated Robinson.
When the, Tammanyites saw that this
was inevitable, they withdrew from the
convention and nominated John Kellv
for Governor, and there are now two
Democrats in the field for that office.
The contest WILL, nevertheless, be a
close and interesting one, as the Blaine
plan will be adopted in the campaign.
and positions in the Custom house. on
postal cars, and as clerks in the DEPART
ments at Washington, will be offered
for votes. Time was in the, United
states when elections were decided by
principle, not by brides, and it will
come again when the people demand of
their legislators the enactment Of
stringent laws for the punishment oft
's,te buyers and sellers.

REERLITIN<..

Captain Hubbard's artillery compa-
ny, known as the Eureka Invincibles,
which was almost wiped out of exist
ence by designations at the time of the
coal burners war, is being recruited up
to a peace footing by its gallant com
mander, who with, his lieutenants con-
stituted the rank and file of the compa-
ny when the war became imminent.
Captain Hubbard has, in view of the
fact that peace has been restored and
recruits are offering themselves, made
a requisition on the Adjutant General
for small arms, and as the Austinites
refuse to deliver up, that celebrated
howitzer, efforts are being made to
raise sufficient means to purchase a
field piece.

saARAN.s SUCCESSOR.

The Virginia Chronicle, though avow-
eddy Democratic, is not so blinded by
partisanism as not to be able to recog-
nize genius, merit and ability outside
of the. party. 1t has discovered in
Washoe's favorite son, G. G. Powning,
the distinguished young statesman and
talented editor of the Reno Journal,
the germs of true greatness, and not
only proclaims the fact through its col
umns, but advocates his election to the
United States Senate, to succeed Mr..
Sharon. Mr.. Powning, we believe, has
not yet attained the age which the an
tiquated greybeards who framed the
Constitution made one of the qualifca-
lions for membership in the Senate;
but that can be removed by amendment
to meet the. requirements of the case.
Mr.. Powning is Republican Of the
"stalwart order, but the fact that he
did not shoulder musket and march
to the front when the Union was en-
dangered, must be attributed to his
youth at that time. In this, he has
the advantage of Congressman Daggett,
who .aspires to the position of Senator,
who was in, the prime of life at the
time of the war, yet never smelt pow
der except when the Comstockers cele-
brated the Declaration of Independ-
ance by firing salute on Mount David
son. Mr.. Powning, who is hold-over
State Senator, has emphatioally declared
that he will not, under any circum-
stances, support Sharon for reelection
another circumstance which justifies
the Chronicle in. presenting his claims
for the Senatorship. Carping politi-
clans may insinuate that this declara-
ton is a bid on the part of Mr.. Pown-
ing for Democratic support, but those
who know the young statesman best
will give himscredit for sincerity, as he
has ever been IA consistent opponent of
the San Francisco gentleman's claims to,
the Nevada Senatorship. 1t is true that
Mr.. Powning, through the columns of his
journal, apologized for the faults of the
recent Legislature; but he felt that it
was his duty as one of the majority to
do SO, and though his apology was not
satisfactory to the public, it must be
remembered that it was the best that
could have been done under the cireum-
stances, and that only man of tower
ing intellect, like the talented young
Washoe statesman, or an egotisti-
cal idiot, would have made the at
tempt.

are yet to be heard from.
The Commercial Bulletin, which
called for strong action by the political
leaders of the State against the big rail-
road corporations, is. dissatisfied with
what was done at Syracuse. 1t thinks
fine sounding phrases on the railroad
reform question mean no more, or less
than the similar phrases which were
put into the Saratoga platform, The
proof of their sincerity would have been
the nomination of Gubernatorial can
didate whose public and private record
would harmonize witlSthe platform.

MANUFACTURES MEANS MIGHT.
The General Welfare and the
Profit of Investment Con.
spire Together.

Whenever good opportunity has
offered during the last nine years,
the JOURNAL has advocated the use
of the immense water power of the
Loup river for manufacturing pur-
poses. Considerable talk has been
INDUCED in by citizens generally,
but no concerted effort has, to our
knowledge, ever been made. Now
seems to be a very fit time for such
effort, and we suggest that an or
ganization of business men be made
for the express purpose of ascertain
ing to a certainty just what can be
done, how the power can be made
available, and at what cost. There
are a dozen or more different kinds
of industries requiring power, that
could be named as profitable invest
ments, when once the power is as
sured, but in order to ascertain this
fact il will be necessary to secure
the services of first-class engineer.
thoroughly versed in the whole
subject of water courses and water
powers. 1t does seem to the Jour-
NAL that this ought not to be a diff
cult matter 10 do, considering its
great importance to us as city.
Utilize that Loup water power,
and we need never have a concern
for the future welfare Of this section.
Manufactures are the solid foun-
dations Of a community.
Here are the raw materials in
great abundance, and here also are
the consumers in like abundance.
The general welfare calls for the
effort, and the certainty of success
and great profit makes it sufficiently
interesting as business investment.
Let Columbus be, not only a rail-
road center from which the wheels
of quick transit trundle i'm every di-
rection, but let her be the heart
whose steady, strong pulsations will
distribute the fresh blood of trade,
and gather in material that now
goes TO waste.
Manufactures means thickly-set-
tied community, increasing popula-
ton, growing business, constant en-
ployment and regular distribution
Of money.
1t means q home market for most
of our products.
1t means for Columbus Gf the
Loup power shall prove anything
like what we anticipate for iD the
nucleus of a large, prosperous inland
city, i'm the midst of as fine a coun-
try, perhaps, as the sun shines on.

Ncwman's Grove.

We have had good deal of dry
weather interspersed with floods.
May Oath we had the highest rise in
Shell creek in six years. The bridge
at this place was carried away and
lodged i'm Meniece's timber, half a
mile below. 1t was recovered with
but little damage, except expenses
of hauling and rebuilding. Another
freshet occurred May 30th, with but
little damage. Then came hot,
dry spell which did our crops no
good. The general opinion is that
crops promise fair; this deponent
thinks otherwise. At present there
is plenty of moisture.
The b. e M. emigrant house is
completed and is valuable addition
to the place. Messrs. Anderson and
Larkee have taken another partner
and, we are informed, will complete
their building Immediately and fill
up with goods. Mr.. Larkee dispen-
ses the mail, now, and we believe he
is soon to be postmaster.
New citizens are coming in lively.
A good many are going into Nance
county, some farther north and west,
and a fair proportion stop in this
vicinity.
There has been great excitement
here on the railroad question. All
were anxious that the A. & N. should
succeed in Platte county. The fight
over the q. p. bonds in this county
was sharp, but the bonds were de.
feated by the voters; there is a
rumor, however, that some returns
will be thrown out for informally,
and others for illegal proceedings at
election. The result we cannot
predict. If we have a lawsuit with
the +. ", and the vote is decided in
favor of ;he U. p. we shall get rail-
road enough for one year.
Since our last communication, Mr..
Robt. Holden has lost a daughter,
about nine years old. Mrs. VIM.
Meniece has Just recovered from a
dangerous illness. There is disa-
greement among the medical faculty
as 10 the disease which has been so
serious hereabOuts. All agree that
it was sll substantially the same, but
the disagreement as to what it is.
Some call it Cerebro Spinal Menen-
getis, another Malignant fever, and
others say, Scarlatina Maligna, with
Typhoid Pneumonia. Would some
of the faculty of Columbus favor the
readers OF the JOURNAL with an ex-
planation? Are they the same and
only different names used to confuse
the uninitiatcd, or are they all diff
erent diseases? The general health
seems little improved.
A cemetery association has just
been organized here with DR.. Sny-
der as President and George Larkee
secretary. There is also base ball
club in full blast. At present they
meet and play on Sunday. 1t is
hoped they will think better of it
and change to some other day.
We are just beginning to think and
talk of celebrating the Fourth.
