Mr.. SICKLE, or as many of the con
fusion organs persist in calling him,
Sickle" is rapidly proving his inca
pacity and demagoguery in his speech
es to the people of the second district.
He takes occasion TO denounce MIR.
Laird for his vote against the Reagan
bill. He takes it for granted as n dem
agogue always does, that hIs audience
is ignorant and cannot appreciate the
animus and interest of the Reagan bill
which was framed for the purpose of
building up the commerce OF Calves
ton by cutting off the transcontinental
trade with New York, Boston, Balti-
more, and Philadelphia. II provided
that railroads should be compelled TO
charge pro rata according to the length
of the haul. This was to prevent the
shipping Of western freights to eastern
ports at a rate per mile less than should
he charged for the same classes OF
freights originating near those ports
In case it had passed eastern snig-
ers would have had their goods hauled
for next to nothing and the roads
would have been compelled to charge
prices for Nebraska and Kansas pro-
ducts that would have destroyed the
profits of farming in this country. 1t
is only necessary to read the Reagan
bill to a Nebraska farmer to convince
him that Sickle is either a knave or a
fool. Even Rosewater has heen COM
PEELED by the march of intelligence to
drop the Reagan bill argument.
The only reason Sickle advocates 1t
is that it is generally supposed to be
"ierninst the railroads" and he thinks
that is all that is known about it by
the anti-monops of the Second district.
But it can only hurt the railroads by
striking them through the farmers of
the west. The railroads would ceally
be clad to have such a bin, if it would
not freeze out the farmers of the west
for it would force them to treble the
rates they now charge for long haals.
and relieve them of thej responsibility

: THE republicans Of Webster county
should ali work shoulder to shoulder
for the success of the republican ticket
in Noyenibcr. The most important
question is ON congressman. On this
point republicans should bs especially
harmonious, and laying all prejud;ces
aside work from now until after cleo
lion day for the return OF Hon. James
laird to congress. Mr. Laird, has Ia
bored hard for his constituency, and
has done everything in his power to
aid them at all times. Numbers OF
soldiers in Webster county can testify
to his promptness in many cases where
they needed help, as well as all others
who have had reason to ask his aid.
As a congressman who was alive to the
interests of his district, EIr. Lai d was
certainly a success. Sickle may be a
good man. but that is no reason why
republicans should vote for him in
preference to their own candidate, who
j in every way his equal.

The cholera.

In "a few days the Boards Of
Health from all over the country
meet by OFFICIAL call at Washington
to take measures TO protect our.
national borders against the sp.
proach Of the dread sconrage.
Slowly but surely the cholera
has taknits waywestwardih Through
the populDus nations Of Europe,
and terror, distress and death have
followed in It's path. It has cross.
ed the narrow channel which sspa.
rates Europe from England, aud
has taken up It's dread abode in
the metropolis Of London. And
standing tiptoe on the distant
shores Of the Briti.h Isles, il il now
gazing DER the three thousand
miles Of ocean which roll between
seeking some weak spot in our sea
coast through which il may enter.
That the cholera will enter this
country is not only probable, itsis
To be expected. The call issued by
the Boatd Of Health nutonlywarns
US to take all measures to guard
against its approach, but to use
such sanitary precautions that we
may defy il when found in our
midst.
The sanitary condition Of the
town at the present time is, to
speak mildly bad. The early por.
ton Of the year found a large pOr.
tion Of in under water, from many
Of the evils produced by this IL
still suffers The streets are in a
most uncleanly state owing to
causes which seemingly could not
be helped, and even the approach
Of winter has not entirely killed
the malnderous perfumes which
perpetually hang over portions nf
the town. Exemption from sick.
ness and alarm, have mnde proper,
ty holders careless In watching
the sanitary condition Of their
property, and in that neglec! lie
hid The germs Of disease. Another
source Of pregnantevil Is that with
the honey cnmbed as it is in many
portions Of the town with old and
forgotten vnalts,a part If our people
are drinking tainted water. There
is not says the Board of Health
cause for panic or alarm, but there
is cause for serious thought and
active precaution. The attention
Of the Mayor has been called % this
subject by the State Board Of
Health. II is a most important
one, one case Of cholera in the city
would lose it hundreds Of dollars Of
trade. With q little precuution
on the part Of the city and her
citizens, with u slight expense, n
little trouble, not only could the
city be safely fortified against the
plague, bnt other sjcknesses now
common could b. driven uff. Mon!
ey spent in the cause Of health j.
tho wisest economy. The sanitafy
condition Of he town il very bad,
and the warning voice demands
that we make ready to receive the
dread unbiddon guest.

The Merchant Navy.

Inc most slarlng VI all Tue eVlls
resulting from the prolonged mis-
rule Of the republican purity is the
destruction Of the great industry
which was once the pride aud boast
Of the American people. One reads
with doubt the thrilling pages OIL
Cooper's sea tales, us The author
fondly dwells on our great lner
chant feet,
The nation was then a child, il
is now q vigorous adult but the
prosperous business, the pride Of
its youth is gone. The tonnage Of
this country when il passed from
democratic into republican hands
amounted to five aud a halfnlillipn
tons; we have now bat q 1.-THE Of
that enormous carrying capacity,
In 1856 the tonnage oil the vessels
entering our ports was fmnr and n
half millions, Of which two,thims
belonged to American vessels. OF
the tonnage entering our ports in
1880 only one fourth belonged to
American vessels. The decrease
in our carrying trade was rapid
and marked; in u quarter ola cen
fury though the tous Of merchan.
disc entering our ports had incroas'
ed fourfold, the tonnage II Amori.
can had decreased. England had
increased her tonnage in orr trade
in that time 7 million tons; other
European nations had increased
in like proportion; We had decroas'
ed sixty.live thousand tons. So
much as to our falling of under
republican rule, now let us glance
ut the value Of this trade.
The receipts from the full carry
ing trade when the democracy went
out Of power we're enormous, Had
we now the full carrying trade Of
that day there would have been
added to the national wealth last
year nearly 500 100000 more than
we received. Had our tonnage kept
pace with our exports as il should
have done we would have had on
this basis sS50,0O0,0OO additional
wealth. And instead Of having nc
merchant trade as we now have, our
merchant navy would DO four times
as great as that Of tho British EN-
pire. Our sailors would number
nearly 100000, and the wealth
which is given above, and which
now goes 70 foreign countries and
foreign seamen, would be- spent
here and add to our wealth. The
vast toll which we pay to other no
tions would DO our own. The Gre
alton Of this merchant marine
would create a powerful navy and
make America the Mistress Of the
Waves. This would build up the
industries which entered into the
structure and maintenance Of yes
sells, and would create new sources
Of wealth.
Why can we moi maintain oul
position on the seas; ships were
once profitable to us; they are now
TO other nations. The only reason
lies IN political misrule, and the
remedy Is in democratic reform
The democrats built up a great
merchant marine, tho republicans
destroyed ii, The democracy IL
again in power with bright hope;
'of promise before us.-Ssntircl.
