By F. M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL CITY&COUHTY PAPER. TUESDAY was a sad day for Omaha and llosewater. But Nebraska is all right. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IF the mills keep on grinding so mer rily Richards will be right royally re venged yet. HERE'S to his excellency General John M. Thaycr. Politicians propose , but the state supreme court disposes. ONE can from the outside see enough to warrant the observation that the Al liance is in county politics up to its eyes or thore-abouts. THAT was an exciting episode of the Thayer-Boyd contest when .Justice Max well , smarting under the merited rebuke of Chief Justice Cobb , left the chamber in a rage. Is IT not just a mite peculiar that the only dissenting judge , Maxwell , Hhould have a personal grievance against Governor Thayer. Or is it unfortunate or human ? IT is claimed that since 1850 the in dustries and banking business have in creased as follows : Railroads , 1,280 per cent. Bunking , 918 per cent. Manufacture ! ) , 408 per cent. Agriculture , 252 per cent. IT is misdemeanor for " a "any per son , without right , to wear a G. A. R. badge , either wilfully or for the pur pose of obtaining aid or assistance thereby. " The above act was passed March 3lst , 1887 , and with the emerg ency clause. A BILL has been reported favorably in the Michigan senate providing for the employment of female professors in the State University at Ann. Arbor. This is in recognition of the didactic instinct in women and of their abund ant success as public educators. TlIE success which has attended the sinking of an artesian well on the San- ee Indian reservation will doubtless encourage other enterprises of that stamp in Nebraska. With the surface flow , the underflow , the artesian wells Nebraska ought to be well fixed to irri gate. gate.MR. MR. TENNYSON'S explanation that he owes his long life to his adoption of a rule to "cast all your cares on God , " has the poetic flavor , but it really won't work in practice. While it may conduce - duce to long life it is likely to lead to a life in the poor house or the peniten tiary. The only safe way is to acquaint the Lord with the cares , and to follow it up with a good deal of personal hust ling on the side. ANOTHER chapter in the Hayes coun ty court house deal was'closed , the first of this week , when that structure and about all its valuable contents were de stroyed fay fire of an incendiary origin. Doubtless this closes one of the darkest chapters in the somewhat unsavory his- try of that county ; and developments and disclosures of a startling nature must certainly follow an investigation into the matter. If the facts are ever sifted to the surface there will be an in cipient emigration from that bailiwick or a neck-tie party. SOME of the newspaper fraternity are explaining that as the governor is elected every "even year" according to the constitution , it necessarily follows Governor Thayer holds over untill Jan uary 1893. That is not the reason. In case of a vacancy the constitution pro vides that the lieutenant governor shall act as governor until the close of the term. The statute provides that in the case of a vacancy in any state or county office occuring thirty days before a gen eral election the vacancy shall be filled at the election. Now in this case the lieutenant governor is not in it , and there is no vacancy. So there is no way of changing the governor before the close of the term. In fact the statute in "vacancies" defining express ly excludes cases where , from the in- eligibiliiy of the officer elect he cannot qualify , and his predecessors holds over. So there is no vacancy to fill. State Journal. THE organization of an irrigation and improvement company by R. 0. Phillips , J. W. Deweese and others is a good thing for the state of Nebraska. It will operate intelligently and on a broad scale and will make irrigation profitable to itself and its patrons. When the furore about the homestead er being his own irrigator is over it will be seen that the work can only be eco nomically and profitably done by the use of large amounts of capital and the employment of the best engineering talent unless * in a few exceptional local cases where the facilities are un usually good. The real point which makes it nec essary that capital should handle irrigating - gating works generally is the superior organization it compels. The manage ment in that case is wholly unhamper ed and there is no waste of energy , no broils , no dissensions to cripple and embarrass. Properly regulated by law , so that it could not impose on private owners of land if so disposed , corporate capital is the resort to which the semi-arid region must turn. Lin coln Herald.
