To understand the peculiarities of the little republic with which the United
 States now has what diplomatists call an
 "imbroglio," it is necessary to bear in
 mind certain facts which are applicable to all negro governments. The first is that wherever negroes get the upper hand their very first constitutional pro ceeding is to rigidly exclude all white men from political power, and generally from civil rights. There is not a negro government now existing which allows white men to hold office, and in some a white cannot own land or enforce a written contract. Even in Liberia, founded by philanthropic Americans, a white man is a political pariah. The general line of development is like this: Tho colorcd lawmakers first exclude whites. then quarrel arises between the

How Judges Pratt and Hayes
Held Court in a Pest
House

Judge Hays, of this city, in com
pany with four gentlemen for Bird
City, went to Norton yesterday to at
tend to some legal business before
Judge Pratt When they stepped on
to the platform at Norton the city
marshal ordered them back into the
cars and soon they were gliding away
eastward bound At Almena they
effected a landing and went to the
hotel and assuming fictitious names
were permitted to partake of such a
breakfast as the Almena House pro
vides. They then went to the Rock
Island depot where the agent refused
them admittance, but after a long and
severe exposure they were permitted
to board a Norton bound train and ar
irving in that city they stepped off of
the train on the opposite side from
the depot. As soon as the train pull
ed out, OF course the Judge and his
clients were discovered and they were
at once taken to the pest house by
the city marshal. where they were
locked up and kept confined until the
time for the arrival Of the west bound
mail train upon which the Judge and
his friends came to the city lastnight
Judge Pratt came down to the pest
I house and the legal matters were ar
ranged. 1t was not the intention of
the Norton authorities to treat the
I Judge and his friends in any but a
! proper and courteous manner, but
through some neglect they were kept
/ locked up all day long and were CIV
! en- no dinner or supper.
/ 1t must have been a novel sight to
/ observe the manner in which the le-
| gal ceremonies were conducted by the
| two judges. Judge Pratt was on the
/ outside, several rods away from the
building, in front Of a partially raised
window, while Judge Hays, on the
inside, was emitting strains of elo-
quence and law in great chunks. Il
was one of his nOblest efforts, and il
was said that he wholly forgot his
surroundings. The court scene being
ended, Judge Pratt withdrew anC
Judge Hays and his friends lapsec
INTO a state Of deep reflection. It i
said the judges will probably write {
book, to be entitled Thirteen Hours

Sensible Senator Plumb.

A few days ago the senate INDUCED
in a debate over the question whether
the representatives of the United
States in France, Germany, Great
Britain or Russia, should be called
ambassadors or ''envoys extraordi-
nary and ministers plenipotentiary."
Kansas level-headed senator shocked
the eastern dude statesmen by pro
posing that the sending of ministers
to foreign countries be stopped He
remarked that the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States have
not represented the free institutions
of the country as contrasted with
monarchical institutions.
They have not supported the dig
nifty and simplicity of American citi-
zens.
They have generally been mere
idlers, IOungers and wall-fowers at
fashionable receptions; bubbles on
the waves of society, froth on the sur
face Of a turbid stream.
The country has really been dam
aged by its foreign ministers in the
last eight years; damaged in its char
acter and in its self respect by a sub
ordination to monarchical forms in
consistent with the dignity and power
Of the American people"
That is good plain talk and com
mon sense, It may not be best tc
abolish entire the diplomatic service
but it should be stripped of its grand
Eloquent titles and its dndery. To
support this foreign embassy bust
ness costs large sums of money, an6

citizens of the United States will MOI
object if they are called on to pay
less Of the expense of maintaining the

I'd. Herald II see by the papers
that the sugar industry Is coming to
the front In many counties in this
State, and from accounts It seems to
pay and as other crops cannot be de
pended on IN this western part Of the
State every year this seems to fill a
long felt want. In this township
crops have been very short for the
last Two years and with many a total
failure; another failure this season
and we we viii all have to leave. as
many have done already. Now If
there was a sugar factory at the cOun-
ty-seat we could raise cane IN abund-
ance and be glad to haul it u or Is
miles to market. Why can not this
county have a factory? This viii
help the farmer greatly. Let the
mOn1ed men start the ball rolling.
Whatever helps the farmer will help
the towns also. But on the other
hand, putting their money IN banks
to loan out at from three to five per
cent. IS a curse to this or any other
country; taking advantage of the
short crops IN this way is building up
the county with a vengeance. IF we
had plant IN the county there would
be plenty Of cane planted and this
crop could be depended on. Hope
the HERALD will keep this matter be
fore the people and let us see if we
can not have sugar factory in Phil
lips county. Other counties not as
well off as this intend to have one this
season. Let US not be left behind

Nebraska will shortly enter upon the manufac-
ture of beet root sugar a scale that promises
the greatest success. The German farmers are
skilled in the raising of this vegetable, and a
large sum has been subscribed to secure the pro-
ducttOn of the best sugar in the market. The
soil is adapted to the cultivation of beets the eli
mate is favorable and il il confidently expected
that revolution in sugar production is about to
take place. There Il no question of the high
quality of beet root sugar.-ChiCagO ReIgiO-Phi!-
OsOphical journal.
Kansas soil and Nebraska soil are
very similar. If beets can be grown
prOftably in the latter state they can
be made to pay in Kansas. We are
informed that a good yield can be Sc
cured here with little or no rain.

facturer Of the Sandwich Islands, of

Petitions for the shOe-striug diyis-

for the six and four division have
been circulated this week. The shoe
string division makes Phillips, Nor
ton, Decatur, Rawlins and Cheyenne

idan, Thomas and Sherman the other.
The six and four division makes one
district Of Decatur, Sheridan, Raw
Inns, Thomas, Cheyenne and Sher-
man, and the other of Phillips, Rocks.
Norton and Graham. The argument
In favor Of the shOe-string division is
that all the counties are or will be
soon connected by railroad, and it
makes it much more convenient The
argument in favor OF the other divis-
ion is that the population and bust
ness of the two districts will be near-
~ the same in each. -AtJcOod Citizen.

ty Bar have sent a petition to Repre-

We very much doubt the propriety
of passing laws regulating the rates
Of interest. Law seems to have very
little effect on the Mooney lender. He
takes what he can get without paying
much attention to the law of the case
We would, however, suggest, as a
matter OF compromise, that the legal
rate, when no contract ezists, should
be placed at 6 per cent, ard allow
contracts to be made at 10 per cent,
and all interest, if any more charged,
above ten Der cent, should be forfeit
ed, if the borrower sees fit to go back
