Judging fro m
the editorial effu-

press of this commonwealth, Mr..
Meserve, late populist treasurer of the
state, is much prosecuted individual.
His Indictment is entirely political
and persecutional. In other words,
Nebraska grand juries evolve only po-
litical indictments. Bartley's indict
ment, however, according to populism,
was brought about by the fusion love
of justice. But Meserve's indictment
is the result of republican love of in
justice.
The two cases demonstrate the folly
of asking bonds from state treasurers
The great majority are supposed to be
intelligent enough to select a compe
tent and honest man to handle the
public funds. But when that majority
ask few citizens to jeopardize their
fortunes in protecting that majority
from the populations or misdoings of
it's own selectee, they plead the baby
act and admit that they are incapable
Of self government, incompetent to
choose competent, efficient and honest
men to count, conserve and pay out the

the struggle which
preceded the publication of the First
Battle. the Peerless said:
81 am aware that in the making of
platform it is impossible to please
all. I recognize that people who
think will differ, and that platform
often contains declarations which the
voter does not like, and omits things
which he would like to have in
cluded.'
That lays bare the real motives of
this statesman, when building plat
forms. No lament is heard that he is
unable to make platform which, be-
ing successfully carried out, would
steady the pulse of commerce,
strengthen business, promote good
will between capital and labor, stim-
ulate industry and secure to posterity
the blessings of free institutions but,
"to please alp seems to be his only
object, and, his inability to do so his
only regret.
There the bray sounds, though the
form be enveloped in the hide Of a
nobler animal. A platform a toy; a
plaything constructed to "please"
and, pleasing, to procure votes.
| Commoner indeed!
1t is not impossible that there are
readers who doubt that the Peerless
ever gave tongue in this strain. We
regret to say that we can bring no
positive proof, neither strong circum-
stantial evidence, that these burning
words ever floated in the flood Of elo-
quence which once fell in cascades
from the mouth of the Platte-like or
ator; all that we can produce by way
Of authority being the none too con-
elusive fact that the nursery talk above
quoted may be found in the First

York-some Of
them-have improved the interval be-
tween the holidays and spring house

for the Improvement Of the Speaking
Voice" Of course the country should

the whole length it has "legislative

Soon, then, will the harsh, discord-

toned to cultivated alto, while in
harmony with his dulcet tones, will
be heard the soaring tenor of the train

"Don't crowd" and "Move OH

the popular "bay-nan-no" will

All this, and much more, by law;
then the stately danes and giggling
damsels of Greater New York may pin
on their S. F. r. I. o. t. S. V.

knowing that the military and naval

at need, be invoked to protect their,

thing but the pleasure excursions ell
joyed by the modern Nimrod.
Ninety seven years ago, Captains
Lewis and Clarke hunted the Missouri
valley, in what is now North Dakota,
and, as you may readily see, expert
enced more or less difficulty in pre-
serving the game after killing it.
"wednesday, the 18th. The morn
ing was cloudy, the thermometer at
20 below zero, wind from southeast.
Captain Clarke returned last evening
with all his hunting party. During
their excursion they had killed forty
deer, three buffaloe, and sixteen elk :
but most of the game was too lean for
whatever lies out at night as their
own, had appropriated most of it.
When he left the fort on the 4th in
stant, he descended on the ice twenty
two miles to the new Mandan island,
having killed nothing, and therefore
without food for the night.
Early on the 9th, the hunters went
out and killed two buffaloe and deer,
but the last only could be used, the
others being too lean After break
fast they proceeded down to an In
dian lodge and hunted during the
day. The next morning they en-
camped forty -four miles from the
fort, on sand point, near the. mouth
Of a creek, which they called Hunt
ing Creek, and during this and the
following day, hunted the adjoining
plains with much success, killing a
number of deer and elk. On the 9Th,
the best of the meat was sent with the
horses to the fort.
Thursday, l4th. Last night the
snow fell three inches the day was,
however, fine. Four men were dis
patched with sleds and three horses
to bring up the meat, which had been
collected by the hunters. They re-
turned, however, with the intelli-
gence that about twenty -one miles be.
low the fort, a party of upwards OF
one hundred men, whom they sup.
posed to be Sioux, rushed OH them,
cut the traces of the sleds, and car
ried off two of the horses, the third
being given up by intercession of an
Indian who seemed to possess some
authority over them. They also took
away two of the mems knives and g
tomahawk, which last, however, they
returned. We sent up to the Mandans
to inform them of it, and to know
whether any of them would join 6
party to pursue the robbers in the
morning"
The history goes on to relate how s
fruitless chase was made after these
dusky highwaymen, who succeeded il
