STATE POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Grand Island Independent gives II out
solid that ''no railroad servants will be forced
down the throats of the people of Hall
county this year of our Lord, and don't you
forget it'
Every republican paper in the state agrees
with the Hastings Gazcttc-Journal when it
says there is not single good reason why
every candidate on the republican state ticket
should not be elected
The Beatrice Republican states a truth
when it says that the republican party favors
the railroads, the great civilizers of the coun-
try But adds the Republican, "at the
same time it believes in compelling them to
observe the maxim: Live and let live"
Says the Lincoln Call: "The story set
afoat to the effect that the railway managers
will attempt to beat Leesc at the polls might
just as well be laid away now as at any other
time. There is not a railway manager in
Nebraska that can hold a keg of giant pow
der when burning fuse reaches it,"
The Norfolk News knows what it is talk
ing about when it says: "There is one plank
IN the republican state platform that every
candidate for the legislature should be re-
Quired to pledge himself to enforce, and that
is the demand for law that will prevent the
importation and employment of Pinkerton
detectives Nebraska is abundantly able to
take care of the enforcement of her laws
without the intervention Of paid hirelings of
the corporations"
The Free Lance fires these facts at the
rulers of the state Of Beatrice:" ''The
everlasting political chickering's in Beatrice
are about as harmful to the city's prosperity
| as are the terrific wars that are made upon
some of our citizens who put their money
| into manufactures to make us grow and
| flourish. Both are senseless. The season of
| thorough and steadily increasing success
| will never come until we have in all things
| harmony with big H. II will be wise to
| put aside our private revenges and get down
10 substantial work, and make this city what
| it ought to be-the foremost manufacturing
| city in the west"

AFTER SEVEN YEARS.
ID. w. Haynes Presented With a Beau.
tiful Elks Badge


d. w. Haynes was presented last evening
with a rich and beautiful Elks pin by his late
associates IN the office of the Pacific Express
company. The address was delivered by T..
X. Scarborough, chief clerk in the auditors
Office. He feclingly referred to the long
years Mr.. Haynes had been in the com
pany's employ, the manner in which he had
endeared himself to all his associates and the
deep feeling of regret the latter experienced
at his retirement to enter other fields of
labor. The address was a magnificent effort.
1t was not so much the result of the gentle
mans ability as writer, which is of no
mean order, as it was Of the inspiration of
the occasion which deprived the speaker of u
highly esteemed associate. 1t produced a
visible effect upon Mr.. Haynes so much so
that he was able to express little more than
his heartfelt thanks.
Mr.. Haynes has been in the employ Of the
Pacific Express company since 1881, and to-
day enters upon the duties of treasurer of
Boyd's opera house, where he will be heartily
recognized and appreciated by many warm
friends.
The pin is of solid gold, circular in shape,
with four minute shields at intervals on the
circumference, containing in enamel the let
ters Il. Il. o. E., the initials of the name OF
the order, Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks. The rim is bound in gold rope,
while Immediately inside the edge ls u circle
OF cardinal enamel which contrasts beauti-
fully with the polished gold. Within this
circle, the badge ls concave and over 1t
spreads beautifully engraved Elk's head
with a large diamond in Its branching ant
lers. Beneath are the words "cervus alces. "
The badge is an elaborate one, n fitting EN-.
blem Of the order and souvenir which will
long be cherished of dear friends by one OF
the most devoted members Of the order OF
Elks in the country.

neither time nor tune to it, just simply deaf

racket they kept up at intervals all day.
A boy named Wilcox living fifteen miles
northwest of Plankinton, met with a fatal
accident by the cavng of well. Young
Wilcox, who was only eleven years old, was
working near the well when he became
thirsty, and boy-like, instead OF going to the
house for pail, he climbed down the wall of
the well to get a drink. A stone became dis
placed and the well caved in upon him, COM
pletely burying HIM.
Jack Matson, aged seventy-eight, is said
to be the oldest man in the Black Hills. His
has been an eventful career-a career full of
romance and rich with thrilling adventures
For forty years he travelled with circus,
and he has probably trained and taken care
or more elephants than any man living. AT
present he is employed in handling the
thoroughbred horses on ranch and he takes
great pride IN his work.
Among the effects of wealthy New Eng
lander now deceased, the Yankton Press
and Dakotaian reports, was a telescope
valued at $4,000, The heirs Of the estate ar
ranged with DIR. Ward, president of Yanlton
college, that when the college was able and
willing to pay $500 for the instrument it
would be sent to Yankton. The faculty has
succeeded in raising $1,000. The arrange
ment is that the other $500 may be paid at
the pleasure of the college, and the telescope,
which is in the possession Of 9. M. Brown, Of
jamestown, N. Y, will be shipped within

The Federal Court Bill.

The bill for the holding Of terms Of United
States district and circuit courts in this state
has just come to this city, after having been
approved on the 14th inst. 1t differs in many
respects from that synopsized in these col
umns some time ago. 1t does not divide the
state into districts, nor limit the filing Of
cases in the offices nearest the party or par
ties bringing suit. In fact, does very little
except to reaffirm the holding Of United
States courts in Omaha and Lin
coin, and establish the holding of
the same in Hastings and Norfolk,
stead of two as heretofore. The terms in the
respective places are as follows: Omaha,
second Monday in November; Lincoln, second
Monday in January: Hastings, second Mon
day in March, and Norfolk, second Monday
in April In each of those terms grand and
petit juries may be summoned. All writs,
processes, pleas, rccognizances and bonds
courts as now provided by law shall be con-
sidered as taken and returnabe to the terms
established by the act.
District Attorney Pritchett told BEE re-
porter that the bill would do little good. 1t
would not be OF any convenience to the people
and would not result in the bringing
of half dozen suits in the places where the
new terms of the court are to be heard. But,
of course, the people were glad to have the
extra terms created, although it entailed
greater expense upon the government. There
was mileage for judges, clerks, marshal and
deputies, with rent for courts though it was
likely that the local authorities would pro-
vide places for the holding of the sessions.
The creation of the new court seats gave
one TO each congressional district, and this
would eventually lead to the erection of
government building in those places

1T is fortunate for Omaha that she is
not in the latitude Of Jackson Vile, Fla.
For the dumping of four hu ndred loads
OF garbage daily into the river, accord
ing to Councilman Alexander's state
ment, would be visited with most seri-
Gus consequences. It Is creditable for
Mr.. Alexander that he has awakened
TO the danger threatening the city's
health from such an unsatisfactory way of
disposing OF garbage. Should the pres
ent methods be longer continued, as a
natural consequence, typhoid, malaria,
diphtheria, and countless diseases, due
to the poisoning OF the air we breathe,
will become epidemic In our naturally
healthful city. The committee ap-
pointed to examine the different meth
DDS OF garbage cremation ought to be
appointed Immediately, in order that
1t may report to the council rs soon as
possible the result Of its investigation.
One or two crematories large enough TO
accommodate the city for the next five
years, can he built at comparatively
moderate cost, and should be erected
early this fall. With more efficient
service in collecting the garbage, the
cost OF that department would be de-
fraycd almost wholly by the slight taS
levied on householders, and the gar
bAge question would be satisfactorily
settled and economically solved.

adversaries are knocked out they cry
foul" and appeal to public sympathy.
The recent attacks upon me by reason
Of the defeat Of Mr.. Yost at the state
convention afford striking instance.
There was no occasion whatever for
such warfare. There was no Growing
over Yost's defeat, no comment about
his barren campaign, and in fact
studious abstenance from any reference
to him or his supporters. What more
could be expectedp
In spite of this a malignant assault
was made upon me with the evident in
tent to prejudice the public and make
capital against THE BEE among its pat
rons in Omaha. The attack was
promptly repelled, and no standing
room left for reckless slanderers.
And now Cadet Taylor is indiscreet
enough to renew the assault with a
blare Of trumpets. He sneakingly de-
nies that the article denouncing my
conduct as an outrage on decency,
which was coupled with my name, had
any reference to myself. He denies all
knowledge of the bogus boycott circular
mailed to THE BEE advertising patrons
and rounds up his tissue of falsehood by
cowardly inuendo charging me with
disoyalty during the var, while in the
military telegraph corps. 1t is hardly
| necessary TO say that man who will
steal, will not hesitate to tell a false
hood. Mr.. Cadet Taylor's paper has
| admitted that the spurious boy
| colt circular was printed in
| the Republican job Office. The circular
| was criminal libel gotten up and Cir
| culated in the interest of the Republ-
can. 1t was as Infamous and criminal
| to print it as it was to circulate it.
| There were stamps furnished to mail it.,
| and money paid for having it handed
around. One of Taylor's hirelings gave
the whole thing away more than two
months ago to a leading Second ward
republican. He told him that Cadet
Taylor instigated the boycott and paid
the boycotters for their work.
The charge about my alleged disloy-
atty is only repetition of a
malicious libel concocted years
ago by Paul Vandervoort. The
| predecessors OF Cadet Taylor at the
helm of the Republican, Caper e. Yost
and Fred Nye, were arraigned, tried,
and convicted of this libel in the courts
Of this county by jury Of their peers
after brilliant and vigorous defense
by John M. Thurston. Mr.. Taylor in
geniously parties the. charge of his
crookedness in the government printing
Office, as if it was a matter of no moment
to the public, but imagine that no man
who sets himself up as a great party
leader, can march at the head o
the column in the face of the record
which Mr.. Taylor made while in q posi-
tion of great responsibility and trust.

COLORADO is at last trying to shake
off the railroad yoke. A determined
effort will be made in the fall election
to defeat the railroad candidate, E. o.
Wolcott, who wants to go to the senate.
Mr.. Wolcott will be remembered as the
head of a powerful lobby which did the
railroads some good service in the last
legislature. Recently he gained con-
siderable nOtoriety in trying to break
Phil Daly's faro bank at Long Branch.
1t is evident that Colorado does not
want such man to represent her inter-
ests in congress.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-09-01
The State Issue in New York.

The leading issue of the state cam
paign in New York will be high license.
The republican Legislature committed
the party to this policy by enacting
high license bill, against which the
democratic party was committed by the
veto of Governor Hill. The republican
state platform condemns the action of
Hill and avows the adhesion OF the
party to the high licehse principle.
Warner Miller, the republican candi-
date for governor, is one Of the foremost
advocates of this policy, and is under
stood to have been largely instrumental
in having the plank affirming it in
serted in the platform.
This attitude Of the republicans may
force the nomination of Hill. 1t will
certainly have the effect OF solidifying
the saloon interest in his favor, If any
thing was necessary to do this. 1t has
been understood, however, that the
strongest and most uncompromising
backing of the governor really comes
from this source, and it was recently
stated that the liquor men had raised q
fund of a quarter OF million dollars to
be used in furthering the denomination
OF Hill and securing his reelection. 1t
need hardly be said that the saloon in
terest is very powerful in New York
politics, and its concentration in favor
of the governor is fact so formidable
that the democracy will hesitate about
rejecting its preference. There is every
reason to expect that the democratic
state convention, which will meet on
the 18th inst at Buffalo, will be largely
dominated by this interest, and if SO the
result is not doubtful.
With such an issue republican victory
ought to be beyond all doubt. 1t ought
to be impossible for the party favoring
free and unregulated liquor traffic to
be successful in New York in square
battle with this as the issue. But there
is doubt, due wholly to the possibili-
ties OF the prohibition vote. 1t was this
vote which was responsible for the cleo
tion OF Hill three years ago, when he
had but eleven tho usand plurality and
the prohibitionist cast over thirty
| thousand votes. His friends are esti-
mdtlnB tnuJ tnlS year inc prOnlDltlOn
vote will exceed forty thousand, and
the republicans being weakened
to the extent of four-tifths of this num-
ber Hill will again be winner. 1t is
| almost incredible, however, that intelli-
gent men in the prohibit on party can
allow themselves to be used this year
for the political advantage of so uu-
doubted demagogue as Governor Hill.
| There was excuse for them three years
| ago in a want Of knowledge OF the true
character of the man. There is no such
| excuse now. They know that the re-
election OF Hill means the predomi-
nance OF the saloon power in New York
politics for the next three years and an
unregulated traffic, while on the other
hand the election OF the republican can
didate would certainly result in rem.
edying these Objectionable conditions
to the moral and financial advantage o.
the state. 1t would seem that no ciu
zen not fanatically welded to hopeless.
theory could hesitate as to his dutJ
when such an issue is presented.
