Tlie Daily State Democrut : is out in
a leader lavorirg Judge Savage for the
position of Supreme Judge. The Dem
ocrat says: .. ,
"1 has been iutiniuttd to us on pretj
ty good authority that Judge Savage
would not decline to be a candidate
for the position in quehtion if he were
convinced that, he would receive the
'tiiirul oupport of the elements not
irrevocably atiachcd to the rtpublican
machine."
We suppose this means that Judge
oayage is a cauuiaaie ior supreme
Judge a democratic candidate pro
vided he can rely upou the democratic
machine puti iug him through, while
the republican machine is to stand
isioe and assent to the job.. Judge
Savage has relied for office just once too
oitcu on this combination; when he
allowed the present mayor of Omaha
o beat him on an even race, on repu
tation and shape, he was doue for.
Now permit us to suggest, that some
good repuolican, some sound jurist of
that school of politics,. be selected and
our democratic neighbors release those
elements not irrevocably RttachTd to
the democratic machine; this would 2s
the matter and not diBlurb the equilib
rium of polilidal affairs in the slate. :
We know Judge Savage is a fine gen
tleman, a sound lawyer, and an hone&t
man; but we have plenty of just as
sound lawyers, as fine gentlemen and
as honest men in the party, known as
tte republican party, who might just
as well be selected upon this theory of
selecting judges. Justice Lake, for
instance, whose time is not yet out,
would be we think an improvement ou
he democrat's candidate; the Hon. N.
v. Griggs is auotliy gentleman of just
as much lcarniugindustry, force and
integrity as Judiie Savage; the lion. M.
li. Reese, another prominent gentleman
whose name we hear mentioned, would
favorably compare with Judge Savage,
and aiij one of these gentlemen could
be supported by the elements not "ir
revocably attached to the republican
machiue" without doing violence; to
tuy of these auti-monopoly sentiments.
either democratic or republican which
the Democrat has in its minds eye
We now are prepared to think pcr-
haia Mr. Silvers was in earnest in that
bid he mode beioie the board of public
lands and buildings. Our sympathy
we confess is wiih Mr. Silvers, aud the
Mate to the extent of $40,000 aud up
wards. We hav'nt much sympathy
with the letting ot a contract to the
highest bidder by the custodians of the
slate's interests and then charging up
tlie wong'of so doing to r the ", legisla
ture. It is not a very safe nor ' a verv
wise plan to follow literally the mstruc
t ions of a Nebraska legislature when
he so doing leads to the commission of
a palpable wroug upon the state. The
HfcKALD has been holding its breath to
see whether Mr. Silvers made that bid
in earnest.
We : knew if there was $41,000 in
sight, and it was an honest bid, the con-
iractor wouid ass.rt his righ s, and his
seeming delay in So doing causes one
to suspect the bid was not a square
transaction- An alternative writ has
been issued bv' tbetiapreme Court of
the State commanding . the "Board of
Publiq Lands and buildings to, appear
and show t cause 4fh day or August-
tomorrow why the State Capital Con
tract should not be. let to Itebt. 1. Sil
ver instead of W. II. B Stout, at which
time the facts in the case will bd made
plain to the public." ": -

HERALD CLIPPINGS.
- Mr. John Hollandwho, it is claimed
celebrated his 102d birthday the loth
of June last, has just made the journey
from Uentonsporl, la., to .Nashua, N. II.
intending to spend the remaining year?
of his life in the latter , place with a
married daughter He stood tho fati
gue .well, and on the evening of his
arrival j -innd in a merry dance with his
grantlcuildren and friend.
The longevity of members of the
French iuslitute has otten attracted
attention. Now, seven of them are
more than eighty years old Th eldest
4s M. Chevretil, the c hemist, who is
niuety-eight, and is ttill able to lecture
regularly. M. Lumne, the chemist and
M. Milne-Edwards, the biologist, have
each lived eighty-four years. M. Mijj
nel, the hh-toiiau, is eight een, unl
one of tht: hardest and most enstunt
workers in the Institute. "
. "1 knew the JJIljir tamily well,' rnyw
itu old Pos: flice Department - Httaehe
quoted irr'The Washington Star, "mid
ued to go tishiu; with Frank and .Jim.
they were bud boys,.. as boys are, but
Montgomery was always good.. The
neighbors sometimes tied to go to oid
.Mr iiiaii and coiU lain about something
that Frank or Jim had done, 'i'ho old
gentleman , would say rather t.Vstil v.
Go to MrsvUlir. They ara her chil
dren, not mine." -.-
Mr. Step! ei, Dijrctor General of the
German Impel ial .postal and Telegraph
ic department, fniartily enjoys a jike
even at his own expense. Recently ou
a tour ol inspection he entered the tele
graph office at Diichau, jul in time to
catch the operator receiving an official
dispatch from Berlin, reading: "lie on
your guard. Stephan is on the ram
page. He puts his nose into eery
body's pie." The Director General
laugheTf heartily and then ordered the
operator to telegraph back to Rerliu.
Too Iti&f,. - Nose already in my pie."
If Judpre lloadly is going to deny the
charges, ryade of corrupUjm... in the
canvass, for the Democratic nomination
in Ohio, he will find his hands pretty"
full. Among the worst itorier told of
the shameful transactions in the cou
vention is the revelation of Mr. Kohlo,
of Toledo. Tlis statement of the way
in whirfrticlegates were bought and
soid has nover beeu'denied. The charges
were disttuet, and the price demanded
and offer il was named, ilr. Kahlois
a responsible man. The Democrats have
elected him to the General Assembly
and wonld probaly have done so air am
had he" not refused to run. If such
charges are allowed to pass unnoticed
J u lge lloadly ctfunot expect to-remain
unsmircbed.
THE American display in the Lou
don Fisheries Exhibition is bringing
this country no end of free puffs. Col
umns upou colums of reading matter
in the London papers have commended
its size and comprehensiveness, and tle
magazine wri'ers are now taKing tne:r
turn. An article in McMillans says
hat "in the excellence and finish of
their apparatus and implements, in the
size of the vessels employed, in the ex
tent of the water fished over and in the
value of the fish taken, our kindred on
the other side of the Atlatic already
stand at the. head of this ' industry."
The compliment is well deserved. And
it ought to be highly appreciated by
our fishermen, in view of the fact that
their industry has been -created by skill,
enterprise and ingenuity, without
special or artificial assistance ot any
kind for a good many years.
