The Nebraska Sufferers.

With reference To the widespread
restitution in Southwestern Nebraska,
the ST. Louis Globe Democrat says:
The reports from the southwestern
part of Nebraska leave no room for
doubt that a great deal of suffering ex-
lists there. Several thousands of indus
trious and deserving people have been
reduced to poverty by the failure of
their crops, and the lack of employment
to make living. The restitution is
general, and there are no means of local
relief, the country being new and the
settlers all alike dependent upon the
products of their farms. 1t is impossible
TO borrow money on real estate, or to
obtain food and clothing on credit, un-
der such circumstances, and so there is
no course left but that of an appeal to
charity Some very pathetic stories are
told OF the experiences of individuals
and families in averting starvation,
such as subsisting on wild herbs and
the refuse of the barDyard. The more
fortunate localities of the state are doing
what they can to alleviate the distress,
and the Legislature is expected to make
AN appropriation for that purposes; but
the measure of want is such that out.

1t is now ten years since Hill took
Mr. Cleveland's place, and during the
whole of that period the civilized, in
telligent, educated and honest classes of
the community have been all but COM
pletely shut ont from influence on the
executive department of the State Gov
ernment. When Hill and Flower were
in doubt of any sort they took counsel
with the criminal or semi.criminal class,
a little collection of the Mikes, Barneys
and Jakes who form the vermin of our
society, and who live in constant state
of war with all our best moral and in
tellectual interests. Not in all that
period has there ever been much use in
advocating anything before these Gov
ernors on grounds of humanity, decency
sound law, or social improvement. An
African chief could hardly have been
more deaf to the voice of the religious,
moral and industrious section of the
community than these two Governors.
Consequently, when we see Governor
Morton calling to his assistance on IA
question, partly of law and partly of
morality, the leading lawyers of the
state, and settling il in accordance with
their opinion, we get an agreeably in
creased sense of the value of our late
victory -NeoO York. EUening Post.

them e. retain their homes and plant
another crop.
Misfortuncs Of this kind are part Of
the history of life on the frontier, and
the people who have 70 bear them de-
serve more sympathy than they usually
receive. 1t is through such trials and
privations that civilization Is extended
and the area of production enlarged.
The men and women who perform this
service, undismayed by its dangers and
unconquered by its tests of endurance,
constitute an element that should have
special credit in history. They are the
people who invade the solitudes and
transform the wildness of nature into
farms and homes, and prepare the way
for schools, churches, newspapers and
all the other agencies of progress. IL is
easy to say that they would do better in
most cases to stay where life is easier
and the chances of success are greater;
but the fact remains that they volun-
tarily forego these advantages for the
purpose of founding new States and in
creasing the material prosperity and
political importance of the nation. They
are legitimate successors of the sturdy
pioneers who built the first cabins on
the continent and set in motion the
forces which have made our republic
the source of far more home comforts
than any other scheme of government
that has ever existed. The calamity in
Nebraska serves to remind us OF the
debt we owe to these people, and the
sympathy we should extend To them
when misfortunes oyertake them.
