for all."

with her. Lincoln Journal.
It is likely that the Attorney Gen
eral, who is examining the new code
regulating the government of coun
ties, will advise a test case, to be
submitted to the Supremo Court at
an early day, to determine authorita
tively whether the repeal of the
statutes of '73, without a saving
clause, docs not in fact abolish the
office oi County Commissioner after
the 1st of September, and leave an
interregnum until successors are
elected under the new code in No
vember and sworn iuto office. It is
a pretty precarious situation. Lin

The capitol steal is going brave
ly on. The Building Commission
has decided upon a plan which will
cost $370,000 according to one esti
mate, $252,000 according to another,
for the completed buildings. "A
wing to a capitol building" will, of
course, take every cent appropriated,
and then in all probability need
piecing out. The Lincoln Journal
talks as though the expenditure of a
half million dollars, more or less,
for a capitol building would be al
together sufficient to anchor the
seat of government at Lincoln for
all time to come.

building its road ten miles west of
Columbu through Jackson and
Colnmbu is Mck, very sick now.
State Journal.
Jackson is only six miles west of
Columbus, which virtually gives us
the connection. If the Lincoln
Journal man will come to Colum
bus aud see the amount of business
done here, he will think that Colum
bus is not ''sick, very sick," just now,
and don't propose to go to bed yet
awhile.

Wc, the teachers of Pittite county,
at the close of this, our Second An
nual Institute,dc!re to express our
selves as follows:
Resolved, That Mr. Barrett be re
quested to convey our thanks to the
School Board oi Dist. No. 13, for
the use of their building and appar
atus during our sessions.
Resolved, That our thanks be ten
dered to- Mr. J. N. Lawson. for the
use of his organ during the Insti
tute. licsolvcd, That wo hereby express
our most hearty thanks to Snpl'
Barrett, Mrs. Fifield and Miss Olson,
for the interesting manner in which
they conducted the recitations, and
for their many valuable hints and
suggestions on the theory and art of
teaching, and for the interest they
have manifested in our welfare
throughout the Institute.
Resolved, That we heartily appre
ciate and second the efforts of Sup't
Barrett to improve the condition of
our schools, and that wc congratu
late him on the marked success ot
his regimen during his term of
office.
Resolved, That having in view the
continued welfare and improvement
of our school, we hereby express to
the electors of Platte, couuty our
earnest wish that Mr. Barrett be
continued in the office of County
Superintendent, for which position
he has shown such emineut fltnesR.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be handed to the city
papers foe publication.
Baresdale, the murderer of Dix
on, at Yazoo City, has been released
on bail, and is at liberty to pursue
his campaign as a Democratic can
didate. The Philadelphia Bulletin
says :
''His death was deemed necessary
to the solidity of the party in Yazoo
county, and he was too dangerous a
man to he assailed as Judge Chis
holm was, face to face, a Democratic
candidate sneaked up behind him
aud shot him in the buck. We coin
mend this case to those persons in
the north who think that too much
has been said about the Yazoo busi
ness and who grieve because the
Republican papers have made the
occurrences in Yazoo county a pre
text for taking another wave of the
hloody shirt."
Germany.
The German government organs
are exciting the war feeling and
publishing translations of the bitter
attacks of the Russian press. This
feeling combined with the report
that Russian engineers have been
sent to the frontier with orders to
hasten the construction of new forti
fications is creating the greatest
excitement.
The government is negotiating for
the purchaseof a railway which will
cost about 75,000,000.
ColurabUM Precinct.
The Democracy held their prima
ries Saturday last. We suppose that
it was as lively a day as the Democ
racy are used to having. It certain
ly was in this precinct, and we
reckon that the several sects of the
Democratic church in old Platte
were equally as anxious concerning
the contest in the outlying vicini
ties. There is considerable at stake,
and there are two elements, perhaps
three, that are as antagonistic as fire'
and water. If both these elements
prove strong the heat of the contest
on the 20th, at the county conven
tion, will be intense and scorching.
There is one thing we like about
the proceedings of the Democracy
Saturday, and that is the general
interest manifested. It is to us a
great pleasure to see voters take a
lively part in making the nomina
tions of their party. It shows a
commendable public spirit, and
there is no great danger of our gov
ernment, from the least division of
it to the grand national machinery
going to wreck, so long as the peo
ple turn out, and do their best to
mould public affairs after their own
desire. But to the record.
The Democracy met iu pursuance
of cull, John Rickly was elected
chairman, A. W. Crites appointed
secretary, and Jacob Ernst and Ju
lius Rasmusscn chosen as judges.
Rasmussen declined to serve, on
account of sickness, and M. Schram,
Sr., was appointed. The balloting
then proceeded, from three to five
o'clock. There seemed to be some
misunderstanding as to time of
closing, as quite a number present
ed themselves after the counting had
begun. About 160 vote3 were cast,
resulting in the selection of tho fol
lowing delegation:
Gus. Schrccder, 102; R. H. Ilenrv,
7G; C. E. Morse, 75; E. L. Siggins,
75; E. D. Sheehan, 74; F. Brod
feuhrcr, 74.
The contest seemed to be carried
on around the candidates for treas
urer, the above delegation being
regarded as for C. A. Speice for that
position on the ticket, the Kayan
augh and Schram tickets taking the
remainder of the ballots.
