Republicanism and Prohibition.

Republicanism is supposed to en-
body nationalism, hard-moneyism,
protectionism and the principles OF
equal rights. Democracy either op-
poses or has at one time opposed all
these articles of faith. Outside of
this there is no republicanism and
no democracy. The attempt Of such
journals as the Omaha Herald to
make prohibitionism a party ques-
ton is utter nonsense. A man may
be prohibitionist and democrat
or prohibitionist and a republican.
1t is merely necessary that he shall
be fanatic in order that he may be
a prohibitionist. His party predi-
lections are of no moment in the
discussion of his ideas on the liquor
question the two things are as sep
arate as politics and religion.
ED. JOURNAL The above is from
a late copy of the Omaha Republican
and l think will be repudiated by the
party. The Republican party is
certainly no party of Isms, but is the
party of progress. Witness the ad-
vance made on every hand during
her rule. The spirit of the party is
the spirit of progress, the Republican
or any other cannot check its sd-
vance; cannot tie it to any ism and
say there is nothing beyond. While
we develop in other ways we shall
also develop in government and
laws. So fast as we learn our needs
as people, we shall devise means
of supplying them. And this not
unadvisedly or hastily, but certainly
for we have not the stand-still ele-
ment. As the practical comm on
sense of to-day was the fanaticism of
the past, so will the fanaticism of
to-day be the practical common
sense of the future, and as we have
outgrown the stage coach and wild
cat bank OF the past, so may we hope
to Outgrow the extortion and red
tape of to-day, and under republican
rule we snail soon see the day when
a dispatch can be sent BY telegraph
about as cheap as a postal card !;
when money will be transmitted by
telegraphic orders, and transporta-
tion be furnished to the citizens of
our country at actual cost, and when
the men who imagine that the Re-
publican party is nothing but few
isms, will wake up to find that the
brains of the party have progressed
until they and their isms are left far
in the rear. Respectfully,
f. A. GERHARD.

Warran ts for Tree Culture.

COLUMBUS, March q, 1881.
EDITOR JOURNAL Il understand
"Farmer" to say in the last JOURNAL
that one Of the county commission
ers lied when he says that there was
no report made of the six rows of
trees on north section lines, and that
he knows that one or more assessors
made report according to law. l
say he did not.
Now / hope you, Mr.. Editor, will
publish the law as it reads, for the
benefit of "Farmer" and others in
terested, so that in future they may
know how to comply and secure the
benefits of the same.
GAN ACT
TO ENCOURAGE THE GROWTH AND
CULTIVATION OF TIMBER IN THE
STATE OF NEBRASKA.
SEC. l. That when any person
shall plant and properly cultivate for
the term of five years, six rows Of
trees, eight feet apart, and the trees
four feet apart in the row--along
either the north section, or the one.
half section line, running east and
west--said rows to be not nearer to
the said north section line, or one
half section line than four feet or
than the south line of any road
which may be laid out on said north
section line or one-half section line,
or when any person shall fill out to
the standard above prescribed and
keep the same in proper state Of
cultivation for the time above stated,
any rows of trees that may previous
ly have been planted along said
north section or said one-half section
line, it shall be the duty of the county
commissioners to pay to such per-
son by warrant on the county treas
urer, a sum of money amounting to
three dollars and thirty. three cents
per acre, for each acre so planted
and cultivated annually, so long as
the same is planted and kept grow
ing and In proper state OF cultlva-
ton, for a period not to exceed the
space of five years, and to an extent
not to exceed three acres of land.
SEC. 2. 1t shall be the duty of the
assessor of each precinct to make
proper examination and report to
the county commissioners at the
time of his annual report, the condi-
tion of all timber so planted and
cultivated under the provision of
this act.
f"Farmer" and the assessor have
complied with the above, "Farmer"
then is entitled to pay, but l here
say there is no such report returned.

The railroads of this State have
not borne their share of the taxes,
proportioned according to "the value
of their property and franchises" as
required by the constitution, and
the advocates of just taxation were
unable at the recent session, to Sc
cure legislation to effect that object.
1t is now proposed that the commits
sioners of all counties having any
railroad within their borders, be
represented before the State board
of equalization. The Lincoln Globe
has this to say on the subject, and it
is well worthy of attention:
at is the only way that even an
approach to just assessment of
railroad property can be expected.
1t is not probable that all, or even
one-fourth of the counties that have
railroad track within their limits,
will be thus represented, but if ten
men who understand what they come
for and are willing to work can be
present, they may accomplish much.
Let Cass, Saline, York, Seward and
the other counties near Lincoln be
represented, whether the more re-
mote ones are or not. If no member
of the board is willing to come, send
some competent man who is not a
member, only let him come with
full authority to represent the board.
There will be plenty of railroad
attorneys here. They never neglect
these meetings"

SECRETARY WINDOW has decided
that the treasury department will
not allow the national banks to SUBJ
stitute bonds for the legal tenders
deposited by them for the retire.
ment of their circulation. The action
of the banks in withdrawing from
circulation about $l9,OO0,0O0 of legal
tenders at a time when there appear.
ed to be no real necessity for the
move, should teach our wise men in
authority to anticipate such action
on the part of the banks in the future
and provide remedy by law. The
whole difficulty of creating panics
can be at once checked by giving to
the secretary of the treasury the
power to issue greenbacks to meet
every emergency that may happen.

The usual regularity of the U. P.
passenger and mail trains was in
terfered with last week, by the high
waters caused by the overflow of the
Platte river, about three miles west
of Fremont, where the track has
been under water for several days,
aad it is believed portions of the
track have been washed out. The
company has been compelled at this
point, to transfer the passengers by
teams, about twenty of which have
been employed on the arrival OF
trains.

CHARLES BRADLAUGH has got into
trouble. From principle he refused
to take an oath and contended that
an affirmation instead should be al
lowed i'm the house of commons, as
well as in the courts. Action has
been brought against him to recover
the penalty of $500 for occupying
seat and voting without having
been sworn in, and the Court OF
Queens bench, Justice Matthew, de-
Gliding that his defense was worth
less, proceedings will be taken in
the House to choose his successor.

SENATOR HILL, of Georgia, the
other day made some broad insinu-
ations against Senator Mahone's po-
sition in that body. Hill appears to
have aroused the wrong member.
Senator Malone replied to the gen.
tleman that he had the manliness
and boldness to assert his right in
the senate free from the dictation of
democratic caucus and he wanted
the gentleman to know henceforth
and forever that he dared to defend
his right against Hill and his caucus.
The next morning after Senator
Malone had answered Senator Hills
insulting inquiries, the former, on
entering the senate found his desk
decorated with q handsome basket
of flowers.

THE police at st. Petersburg found
mine dug from milkshop that
went under the street. Ii is sup
posed that it was the intention TO
blow up the palace hitherto the res
idence OF the czarowitch. The po-
lice, upon making the the discovery,
forced their way into the house of
Nawregkisk, the occupant of the
milkshop, when he fired ten shots
at them, aud then killed himself.
The police discovered large guam
tity of bombs and other fearful ex-
plosives. They also found that the
excavation led to other quarters.

he goes through are too full of enc
mics for him TO allow much noise to
disclose his position.
The discussion of the transporta-
tion question will continue until it
will be settled on a just business
basis, conserving all interests, and
giving each section of the country
its just dues. 1t has long been rec
ognized, aud the fact becomes more
patent by experience that congress
must be the main power to hold our
vast corporations to justice and
right dealing; the states, of course,
can, as separate political organisms,
do what seems advisable to further
the general good, but the federal
government is the only power ade-
quate to 60 to the root of the evil,
prescribe a remedy, and enforce its
adoption.

AT a recent meeting of the COM

AT recent meeting of the CON-
mittee of the worlds fair, a resolu-
ton was adopted that the fair should
be held at Inwood. The first mil.
lion dollars subscription is to be
raised by the lst of April, on coidi-
ton that the transportation compa-
nies subscribe one million and halt
dollars, and like sum by the citi-
zens of New York; and DIR. New

attempt to raise the amount, they
had better abandon the whole pro-

LAST week we gave a very brief

LAST week we gave very brief
account of the assassination of Alex
ander III, car Of all the Russians.
Some additional facts appear in SUBJ
sequent statements worthy of men
ton. Five attempts have been made
to assassinate the czar before. The
first attempt was made in April 1866,
in st. Petersburg, and was frustrated
by a peasant. The would-be Sssss-
sin was Dimitri Karakezaff. The
second attempt was made at the
Paris exhibition in 1867, by Bere-
zowski, a Pole. The third took place
on the l4th of April. 1879, while the
emperor was taking his morning
walk in the vicinity of his palace.
The fourth was the attempt to blow
up the imperial train while en- route
from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and
the fifth occurred in February, 1880,
when the memorable explosion at
Winter Palace failed in securing the
desired result. Thus it appears that
for fifteen years this man has been
pursued by the assassin and his life
been i'm danger, but he has at no time
evinced fear or quailed before his
assassins. A further statement shows
that both legs of the Gar were
broken below the knee, the lower
part of the body severely injured
and the left eye torn from the socket.
The assassins were disguised as
peasants. One report says one of
them was so roughly handled that
he has since died. The assassins are
both Young men, and were imme-
distely arrested. Russakoff, who
threw the first bomb, admits the
fact, but claims he don't know who
threw the second one that killed the
Gar. The latest report is to the
effect that the assassin who threw
the second bomb has not been arrest
ed. Alexander iii, has issued a
manifesto announcing the assassins-
ton of Alexander III, who fell by
the hands of impious murderers. In
taking the place of the murdered
emperor the Gar promises to devote
his whole life to the care, welfare
and honor of Russia, and asks the
help and fidelity of his subjects to
aid him in the great undertaking.
