"Wo are in favor of tho Omaha Herald's "preserved candidate" be cause we think he is of all the can didates mentioned the best qualified. Wc have never heard a breatli uttered to impugn his honesty, up rightness and honor. But honor and honesty arc not Colonel Chase's sole qualifications; he is a gentle man of great ability and talents, exhatistlcss energy, and an indefa tigable worker. These arc just the qualifications required for the man who is to control the administration of Ihc State during the rext two years; and they arc rarely found all united in the same person. "Wc want in our governor a man of en ergy and 'activity, who will bestir himself to attract population to this state by making its great advantages and resources known to the outside world; but wc want him at Ihc same time to be honest and upright ; we want him to be a man of honor, who will check dishonesty and fraud. Colonel Chaso's precedents offer us a guarantee that he will till the position with advantage to the state, and honor to himself, lie made an excellent mayor, and will make an excellent governor.

Globe has a few general remarks to make that arc exceedingly appropriate about this time of year, and one phrase deserves to be placed in large letters of lire before the eyes of the delegates to the Kepublicau State convention "Let xo max he NAMED FOR OFFICE "WHO DOES NOT COMniXE IX HIS CHARACTER, HOXESTY AXD ABILITY." Honesty in politics is scoffed nt by numerous politicians, but the time is not far distant when the scollers will be left in tho rear. Pol itics is a "trade" with the lew un scrupulous men who niako it so. There is a large class of voters who take no ppecial interest in either of the great political parties, and this class usually is swayed by questions of economy and honesty lu the ad ministration of public affairs. Tlioy hold the balance of powcriuid throw their votes to the party which seems to conduct nflnirs on the best busi ness principles. Hence, the Repub lican party cannot afford to trifle with the dissatisfied factions, as they arc termed. We need every vote in order to insure the success of the party, and to secure equal and full representation in county, state and national conventions. We don't believe in any compromise with wrong, but we believe it pos sible ior the party to nominate men who have the full conlidencc of the people and who would poll the full party vole and more too. Let no man be named for office who docs not combine in his character, hon esty and ability, so as to be always able and willing to present the cause of the people whenever called upon.

Hear, hear: The Granger stated that TJ. S. Marsha! J);iily lmd been announced as a candidate for the ollice of gov ernor of Nebraska and also stated that Mr. Daily would make an "av erage Nebraska governor." This simple statement has been construed into an endorsement by us of Mr. Daily as a candidate for governor. We have no interest in that fight, and concluding that the joke had been carried far cnomrli. wc now ask our brethren of the press to listen while wc tell them what wc have all along well known to be the facts in the case. Mr. Daily has no idea of being nominated for governor by the Itc publican convention. He does not want that office just now, but he does desire to retain his present lucrative position, which pays him $0,000 a year, more or less. Wc have been informed from Washing ton that the attorney general of the United States has seriously contem plated the removal of Mr. Daily several times during the past vcar, but 5enator Paddock, who pledged his word to Dundy when he with drew in Paddock's favor for U. S. senator that Daily should be retain ed, has pleaded earnestly and saved Daily. Now it is Mr. Daily's turn to do some work for the Paddock Welch combination, which purposes to control the next state convention. That combination means Nance for .. ITT II guvurnor, eicn lor congress, Slaughter for secretary of state. Loran Clark for treasurer, Major for contingent congressman, with the supreme judge and auditor the result of the best trade that can bo made at the convention. Mr. Daily and his army of deputies arc to work up delegations throughout tho state, ostensibly for Daily, but really to be turned over to the Paddock-Wclch-Nance combination on the day of battle. Mr. Daily takes this method to pay Senator Paddock for past services, nnd to secure a con tinuance in office Doctor Miller, of the Omaha Her ald, must needs interest himself in the Republican candidates, because none other have, so far, seemed to be successful in reaching the goal. But listen : . "Hon. Lorenzo Crounse was in the city yesterday, looking up his case for congress and talking about those blooded bulls. Lorenzo smiles and sighs for that cushioned seat in the House of Representatives with the energy of something in the nature of despair. He rebounds from mo ments of depression upon the clastic springs of a hopeful nature, and manages to maintain a cheerful aspect and disposition. The Hou. Lorenzo Crounse, however, will not go to Congress this year if Hon. Frank Welch knows himself, and ho swears he does." To which the Blair Pilot refers, by historical reference to a former campaign, saying: i Hitchcock, whom the Herald ed itor delights to rcler to, now-a-days, in terms of "highest praise," em bodied the same meaning in fewer words than the Herald employs. It was at the tabic, in the dining room of the Commercial hotel nt Lincoln, while the room was filled with guests, manv of those present being members of one branch or the other of tho legislature, that "Hitch." said to Gov. Saunders and Judge Briggs : "If I can't be Senator I'll be if cither of you shall." Tho Herald endorsed "Hitch's" statement then as it does Frank Welch's now. To which also, the Bee, the busy, buzzing, stinging Jiec, referring to a living man us a dead politician, says: Mr. Crounse is not and never has been a revolutionist. He knows that Frank Welch holds a legal pre emption under the Pacific railroad grant for a scat in Congress, fortius year ami up to tho-llhduy of March of the next year. After that date Mr. Welch, who knows himself about a.s well as any moribund pol itician knows his approaching po litical demise, will know enough to "step down and out." Judge Taylor, of the Pen and Plotv, touches upon a subject in a way that is commendable, when he says : The Omaha Jiepublican ia now under'aking the rather questionable expedicut of setting up Itosewater in the Cougrcsnioiinl field as a scare crow to frighten Crounse and oth ers out, so that Welch can "hog" it down alone. Itosewater is a big enough little man to be sure, but it is putting too much on him to make him Godfather to the multitude who happen to advocate tho same meas ures that he does. For Mr. Crounse or any other man to enter the field in opposition to Mr. Welch need not make him a protege of IJose watcr's ; neither is it proper to insist that opposing candidates must wear fioscwatcrs shoes or go bare-foot. This is a free country, a land of free iiuhts, and that scarecrow ought to he taken down. But Gere of the Lincoln Journal, the best partizan editor in the State, who points his sharpened Faber in thedircction of the enemy wherever he finds him, and always lias the best word for his political friends, changes the subject as follows: Mr. L. G. Todd, of Cass, the Grcenbackers' choice for Governor, is the erratic genius who was ap pointed a committee of one by the Territorial House, in lSfKJ, to revise the Lord's prayer and amend the ten commandments, on motion of Doctor F. Rentier. If elected he will fix things so that money will be plenty, if he has to revise the Constitution of the United Stales to do it, and amend the rules of arith metic and the multiplication table. "Maj." J. AV. Davis, who is to go to Congress as the advocate of the poor and laboring, according to the "fiat" of the Greenback Convention, is the gentleman who was sent out by the Credit Mobilier to help build the Union Pacific Railroad in 1SGS. He was "awarded" a two-miilion contract, which was duly filled by the honest corporation that hired him. Ho is a brother-in-law of George Francis Train, and ha3 train ed with all the known parties. He was a Republican till 1872, when he offered his services to the Republi can central committee to stump the State for $500. This offer having ucen ucciineii, ne maue a dicker with the Democrats, and stumped for the Democratic ticket. He has since been a candidate for Congress on the "Independent" ticket, and now completes the grand rounds by tak ing a similar post at the hands of our Greenback friends. He is an orator of some sound and fury, but his speeches arc devoid of argu ment, statistics and facts. Probably no man could have been selected by the convention who can talk louder about finance and knows less about it, and wc make this assertion with a full knowledge of its sweeping character. The Major, however, is not one of these candidates who will submit to any phlebotomy for the good of the cause. He will not contribute to the funds of the com mittee men or the Greenback press. His politics is a matter of business, and not amusement. nest and living conviction, that for mankind to gain possession of those truths which in themselves arc simplest, is a long and infinitely wearisome ami complicated work of history. Without speculation the sciences cannot live. The doctrine of the unknowable- ness of everything which cannot be empirically known, naturally exer cises a seductive fascination upon all ordinary heads, and upon all unpro ductive heads in general. The more visible, palpable a thing is, the more unreal it is co ipso. Half truth finds far more buyers than wholcand purelruth this costs; too much exertion of tho head and of the heart. It appears incredible, how long a time is needed, before the inevitable consequences of a new position, however evident they may be, arc deduced from it with anything like completeness. In the nature of the case the cor rect knowledge of God, n fruitful speculation respecting God, and all fruitful speculation can only start from the religious point of view. Wc ought sincerely to thank the modern atheistic philosophy, that it has at least given us a genuine and living consciousness of what an incomparably great deed it is, to uflirm the existence of God. "God" is a great word. Whoever feels and acknowledges that, will judge those more mildly and equit ably, who confess concerning them selves, that I hey have not tho cour age to say, they believe in God. When so manv, and that with good faith, regard human existence without the certainty of God as endurable: this proceeds from want of thought. For us God and Man arc correla tive terms. As we cannot truly understand the idea of Man without the just idea of God, so also vice versa. It would be nothing more or less than an imperfection in God (equiv alent to mental heaviness or indo lence in man) if Ho were not aflcct cd by the varying stato of the world. All which is required by the Abso luteness of God, in view of this openness of his being to be affected by the world is, that it should not involve in any way a disturbance (nn alteration" or limitation) of his being. In the perfected (personal) beings the Divine ommipresence ia an actual Indwelling. God is good and holy, bnt ho is at the same time genially great. Alas, that wc should be so stub bornly held in thrall by the heathen habit of regarding as the chief char acteristic of the idea of God, the notion of absolute potocrl Can we know that God is, with out at the same time knowing what He is? Wc should not talk of the good God as if He were irrational, and above all not as if He were a God of arbitrary caprice. To the pantheistic Mysticism God there was a desire to cast a slur on the ministers is a query, as we un derstand they knew nothing what ever of the circumstances until it was over. Who the informant was wo do not know nor care, but we arc sure the majority of this commu nity is of the better class, and to cast any imputation on the cause of Christianity is the last tiling they would do; our distinguished pugi list, wc understand, has left for otlier parts, for which he has our thanks, as wc think it is a good rid dance to bad rubbish. Tho young men here, as a rule, arc well-behaved, but Evil communications cor rupt good manners. Faiui-lav. the'sxtnny'south. "Yellow Jack" on the Rampage.

At the junction of the Ohio nnd Tennessee rivers in the state of Kentucky, the land of Boone, of Chivalry, of honor and nobility, is situated the beautiful city of Pa ducah, so named after a famous In dian chief by the name of Padukh, whose wigwam and those of his people once stood upon the beauti ful site now covered by the grand, niaive, business blocks and elegant residences of a more powerful, aye and craftier race than the dusk'y huod aborigines. "The dark and bloody ground" is now one vast garden, and our can scarcely believe that once this fair land was a "howl ing wilderness" inhabited only by the wild beasts and wilder men. But the world is continually pro gressing, and I boldly affirm that a prettier city than this cannot be found in America. The principal ia actually All, to the vulirar theism all is God.

To be inwardly certain of our own conviction, and never to have a thought of requiring that others shall agree with it : these two things arc by no means incompatible, the latter is really the test of the former. We shall never convinc any one of his error, unless we begin "by an unreserved acknowledgment of his being relatively iu the right. There is a broadheartcdness of Christian tolerance, which far more effectually keeps in check all devia tions from the line of Christian truth than a pugnacious polemical zeal. Limited points of view, a narrow horizon, have a demoralizing effect. It is an essential clement of Cult ure, to be penetrated with the ear- Riciii.axd, Aug. 2G, 78. En. Joukxal: As newspaper writing has become a fashionable mania, I thought perhaps n stray note or two, now and again, from this vicinity might not be amiss. Weather decidedly warm, grain nearly all stacked, and hay making unu uircniiing is now ocing me order of the day. We have Sunday School every Sunday at the E. school house and a good sermon every alternate Sab bath by the Rev. Mr. Hullhorst ; wo were also entertained with an excel lent discourse a week ago last Thursday evening by the Rev. Dr. Slaughter, followed with a few ap propriate remarks from the Rev. Mr. Scott, said gentlemen both being present, as we understood by ex press invitation, nnd for which kindness iu responding, our church going people certainly tender them their thanks. By the way, Mr. Ed itor, I think you referred to that same meeting iu a paragraph of the 21st, in which you stated a friend had given you a graphic description of a fight that took place after church together with rather a sneering re mtirk about the two preachers being perched on a pair of hay ladders and something about supposing the con gregation to have been dismissed with a malediction, &c. Now, there certainly was a very disgraceful little episode enacted after church, but although your friend's account might have been graphic, it certain ly was verv incorrect, to say the least, inasmuch as he seemed to be trying to throw some blame on the two ministers, and again the word fight is out of place, if my diction ary is correct the word assault being much more appropriate, as the fighting was all done on one side, and by one who, we arc happy to say, is not of our neighborhood but simply a fellow who has been stay ing and working a short time one place and another, and probably spoiling to do something smart be fore he left the country, he proceed ed to distinguish himself in the manner your friend no doubt de scribed so graphically, but why business carried on here is in To bacco, thousands of hogsheads of which arc annually shipped to all tho great markets of the world. Farmers in this vicinity raise only tobacco, and they are rapidly im poverishing themselves and their lands by their suicidal course. The country round about is low, and consequently malarial, chills and fever being an evcry-day fare here, and quinine an indispensable house hold god, which no woll-rcgulatcd Christian family of good standing who value reputation and a long line of noblc,thourh uow.alaslsadly broken down, ancestry would, for a moment think of doing without. In fact, the quinine bottle is passed to each member of the family before the meal commences. Tin's, you will understand, is iu the country, not in town. But chills and fever arc trifles, they appear as veritable lux uries, and we would gladly have a "shake" every day, if wc were only sure that the "Yellow fiend," whose home is only in the filthy alleys and gutters of southern cities, would not reach us. New Orleans is full of if. Grenada, in Mississippi, is likely to be totally destroyed. Memphis has it, and thousands of the inhabitants of that city arc fleeing in terror from home, friends and worldly possessions, in order to escape the death-dealing clutches of the yellow demon, who never gives upa victim when he has once fastened his fangs into his vitals. The condition of the poor people who arc compelled to stay and suffer is simply dreadful. I understand that aid is being sent from many quarters. God knows Fthey need it. You of the north and west cannot realize the horror of this awful plague. The very air you breathe is impregnated with the fell disease and you cannot escape tho contagion, excent bv flight. However, the cause of yellow fever can be removed, and the awful les sons taught Savannah, Georgia, and Shrcvrport, La., in 187C, New Or leans annually, and Grenada now will not be lost upon other cities in the future, but teach them to clean their streets, gutters and alleys in cold weather and not allow the city to become so foul that even the Ifegro is stricken down with yellow fever. Strict quarantine has been established at all the infected dis tricts, even here steamers from the south arc not allowed to land, and no freight or passengers by rail from the south arc received here. Busi ness is dull iu consequence, and much freight is accumulating at all the ports and stations. I intend going north also as soon as I have finished my business here, and stay there. Paducah, Ivy., Aug. 21st, '78. A Great Farmer Ittnxtm. The successful life of M. Jacob Stnwvn, tho priuco of American farmers, is attributed to the close observance of the following maxim. originated by himself: Make your fences high and strong, so that they will keep your catlh and pigs out. If you have brush make your lots secure, and kce the hogs from the corn. This maxim cnti bo rcmombcreiS by Ncbraskaus till tho "sweet bv a ud by." Be sure to get your hands to be 1 by seven o'clock; they will rise ear ly from force of circumstances. Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him; if ho is ik good one pay him a little more; is will encourage him to do a littli better. Always feed your hands as welt us you do yourself, for tho laboring: ineii are the bone nnd sinew of t be hind and ought to be well treated. I am satisfied that getting nr early, industry and regular habits, arc the best medicine ever prc scribed fur health. When rainy, bad weather comes,, so that you can't work out doors cut, split and haul your wood,, make your racks, Hk your fence or gate, and patch tho roof of your nam or house. Study your own interest closely, and do not spend your time iu electing Presidents, Governors, and. other smaller officers and, whittling; store boxes. Take your time, and make calcu lation ; do nothing in a hurry, bax keep your mind, as your boly em ployed. Homesickness an Actual Disease Communicated. Fremont Iitrict Fair. There is a large class of people in Northern and Central Nebraska, who, not feeling able to attend our State Fair at Lincoln, have long felt the need of a District Fair nDrth of the Platte. This want will be sup plied this year by the District Fair, to be held at Fremont, Sept. 1G, 17, 18, and 19. Every effort is being made by the directors of tho union Fair Ground Association to make the fair one of the best ever held in the State, and, according to present indications, their efforts will be crowned with success, especially in the exhibition of stock. It is now a fixed fact that the finet strains of horses, cattle, sheep and swine in the State will be largely represented at this fair. Several celebrated trotting horses arc also expected from abroad. Our arrangements have been com pleted with the U. P., and S C. & P., and the Elkhom Valley Rail roads, by which passengers, and animals or articles for exhibition at the fair, will be charged but half rate. A new track is just completed, which is second to none in the West, and the grounds and buildings arc being put in first-class shape. The hotel accommodations of Fremont are ample, and charges reasonable. Thkrox Nye, rrest. Union Fair Ground Association.

Dr. Roy cousiders nostalgia (that is, homesickness) a form of insanity. Its symptoms are that the patient becomes sad and moody, forbears to. cat, retires to weep solies cum solu nnd gives himself up to reveries of home.

By a terrible mistake he had got hold of the wrong woman, and the conductor, refusing to listen to his explanations, kicked him out of the car, the brakeman chucked him into the ditch, the Sheriff met him, before he was half way back to town, and put handcuffs on him; aud, when nt last he got home, ho saw his business partner holding his wife on his lap, and telling her that there were men In the world who loved her much better than her faithless husband ever did.

He who boasts of n multitude of friends, hath none. He who gives a trifle meanly is far meaner than the trifle. There 13 no such thing as an easy chair for a discontented man. Men aro like words; when not properly placed, they lose their value. A man's own good breeding is the best security against other peo ple's ill-manners. Good company and good conver sation are the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all thing3 else. Never tell a man he's a fool ; in the first place he won't believe you ; iu the next, you make him your enemy. " 1 don't care much for a quiet baby, but I dote on a squalling one," said an old bachelor. Why, how strange," admiringly chorused all the mothers present. "Not at all," responded the bachelor, " be cause, you sec, as soon as a child begins to squall it's taken from the room."
