EDITOR TELEGRAPH.


III. III. w. in your last issue was right.
Any person that will get a. church to
deliver a lecture on Prohibition and
use silly talk, as some do. and deliver a
political speech. have no respect for
the place they stand in or those that
let them have it.
1t is about time lecturers understood
that questionable stories do not con-
vert people. Give US facts, and re-
member that Rev. or Hon. before the
name does not make you any the more
respected, but the reverse, unless you
live up to it. Silly jokes may be ex-
cused in some persons. but not in those
who profess to instruct others. It
seems to the majority of people here
that the last lecturer was q failure, as
far as doing good in the cause he rep
SONERs.

GREAT TEMPERANCE VICTORY.

1t is possible that the full import
and Importance of the late decision of
the United States Supreme Court, in the
case of the appeal from the Supreme
Court of Kansas, is not fully UNDER
stood by the friends of temperance. 1t
settles, probably, for all coming time
the vexed questions which have come
before the state courts in past years,
and bafied the attempts to enforce the
laws against the sale and traffic Of in-
toxicating liquors. We take a few
paragraphs from an able editorial in

Senator Blair's bill making liberal
appropriations from the surplus reve.
nue. to aid in the education of the
ignorant masses of the South is de-
clared by Senator Vest, of Missouri, to
be a bold Republican scheme to gain
ascendancy in the South. This is in
effect saying that ignorance has a
stronger hold on the Democracy than
intelligence. Blairs bill has come
near passing in former sessions. but
bids fair being again defeated at this
session by the dread that education
will be damaging to the party.

The reports from the western towns
in this county are to the effect that the

other places will be helpful where it is

The extreme cold weather in past
weeks no doubt led many people seri-
Ously TO resolve on change of latitude
before the advent of another winter.
But when genial sunshine comes
again, conquers the wintry winds, and
nature begins to clothe itself anew,
the complaining people who said harsh
words of our Wisconsin winters will
forget their abuse of it, and move ON
as in times gone by, until another
freezing blizzard drives them to seek
protection again from the arctic wave.
1t is we'll dissatisfied people change
their minds. Wisconsin, with its in
teryals of intense cold, doubtless has
advantages which many milder eli
mates have not.

OMAHA LETTER.


Less than two years ago south Omaha
was farming land, hills, ravines and
frog ponds now q city of nearly 10000
people, with churches, school buildings,
banks. stock exchange, and such other
buildings as are required by the public
necessity. 1t is estimated that l ,OOO, 600
yards of dirt have been moved during
the past season in grading, both cutting
down and filling up.
Situated three miles from the business
center of Omaha, it has two dummy
trains of three cars each, running on the
Union Pacific track, in constant transit,
making trips each way every how and
extending their run across the bridge to
Council Bluffs. These trains have proved
insufficient to accommodate the travel,
and an extra train has recently been
added, to run morning anC evening, for
the express accommodation of the hum
dreds Of workmen who find employment
there, but reside in the city, for want of
dwellings nearer. A line Of motor cars
will also be in operation early in the
spring, thus affording additional facilities
for the increasing travel. During eleven
months of the past year 408, 600 passen-
gers were carried between the city and
this suburb. Real estate has advanced
SO to 100 per cent since last March,
much of which has been improved,
while many lots have been transferred
several times, the sales for the year
aggregating 81 100000. It is unneces-
sary to add that the citizens feel Justly
proud Of this rapidly increasing suburb.
The packing and stock yards interest
at this point are the most prominent
enterprise. The stock yards company
own an extensive tract OF ground which
they are constantly improving by grad
ing and laying out, $500, 900 having been
expended during the season, and 80
acres enclosed in yards for hogs, cattle
and sheep.
The packing business is now second
only to that of Chicago, and should the

Immediately to Estep's house TO ascertain
