Koinination for recent tblk fall
kbould b made with unuwual car. It i
not enough toaclnct well intontloued
tnn. We mut have mea who ar quick
to seethe right thing and then strong
to execute the right action. Ifpoaaible
men who already know the working of
our Htate University from the Inside
should b selected. Our candidates
should mmpt this trust with the sole
purpose of earing the pride of the state
from th spoilsmen who are already on
her track. There Is abundant room for
reform In correcting abuses that bare
crept in sluca the masterful band of
Chancellor t'anfleld left the helm.
We need a few regent without
a governor' bee In their bonnets, and
above all, some who ar not in the em
ploy of the , & M. II. It. Our regents
should also know something of the in
side of the school and of Its legitimate
needs, Two hundred thousand a year
to be administered by a man without
the confidence of one-tenth of th 1000
students in th school is a great risk,
Th strongest testimonial ever given in
favor of the present bead of the school
wa given by bis close friend some
mouths ago, "You can't expect to get
much of a man to com to NeKrawka,"
We have men In 'Nebraska whom w can
at least trnMt and who have ordinary
common sens and good judgment. It
is not likely that aa importation will
serve us better than our borne product.
The university must be rescued from
politics, aud the only way to do ft is to
nominate for regents this full men of the
highest attainments and character, men
who will tiot ;be gulled by the platitudes
and slick phrase of an autocratic aris
tocrat. They should also be;neu who
have interest in the university and who
have no ax to grind In the politics of the
state, It is quite possible that men of
this character will be able to And several
loose boards in our Htate University,
Have yon observed the price of sugar?
Watch It climb. The trust won and you
will be compelled to pay your share of
the f 1.VJ0O.00O of profit which the
trust will gather in during the year.
Yoa were getting twenty pounds of
granulated sugar for a dollar, now you
get about sixteen. Under our new and
advanced system of taxaiton people
contribute to the support of the govern
ment according to the amount they con
sume. The income tax advocated by
the populists, under which th jteonle
would contribute to th government
according to th benefit received and
their ability to pay wa held unconstitu
tional, Kenator liutler, a populist, lu.
trod need a resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution which
would maka such s tax constitutional
beyond question. All of the republicans
voted against the bill and it was de
feated. The government will continue
to raise revenue by taxing sugar and
other necessaries and thus compelling
the poor man with a family to puy as
much to the support of the government
as the rich man. The greater part of
the revenue is used in maintaining the
police, army and navy for the protec
tion of the property rights of the rich.
Cut this is immaterial to the presi-nt
aduiiniatration. Its policy is to mike
the rich man more prosperous and en-
truat to him the duty of restoring pros-
'rily to the poor ami oppressed.

The republicans have called their state
convention for August. They are begin

Under the rule adopted by tbe state
auditor in tbe payment of the salaries of
officers and employes of tbe state, tbe
payment of those paid monthly will be
gin on the 25th of each month and will
continue until tbe 10th of the following
month. Payments made quarterly will
begin on tbe 20tb of tbe last quarter
and will end about tbe 10th of the fol
lowing month. This rule extending tbe
time of payment over several days has
been adopted to avoid the great rash
and confusion occasioned by attempting
to pay all on a single day. It will great
ly facilitate tbe business of tbe office,
Tbe republicans may be expected to be
gin an attack upon the auditor for
allowing the payments to begin before
the last day of the month. Rut as usual
they will simply b "cutting wind."
There is no substance upon which tbey
can base an attack.
Observe tbe date at which your sub
scription expires, marked with the ad
dress on your paper this week, Take
notice of the day, the month and the
year, and if in arrears make a remit
tance, The price of the paper is f 1 per
year. Ruy a postofflca money order for
the proper amount and mail lo this
office- Do not entrust the sending of It
to the postmaster, Heudltyourself.then
you know it bas been sent. Not only
tbls but if you leuve it to 'the postman
master be frequently retains 25 cents to
pay him for bis trouble. It is a useless
expense which our patrons can prevent
II ttiey will only do so. Do not neglect
to attend to the Payment at once, as w
do not wish to be put to tbe expense and
inconvenience ot mailing a bill to each
of our delinquent subscribers.
fitate Superintendent Jackson has ap
pointed Miss Jennie Jl, Adams of Fuller
ton to tbe position of assistant in bis
office formerly filled by bis wife.
Tbe change would have been made a
month earlier except for the fact that
Miss Adams desired to attend the Chris
tian Endeavor meetings in California.
Mrs. Jackson was employed in her hus
band office for only four months, April,
May, June and July, and it was not the
superintendent's intention that she
should hold the position permanently.
Miss Adams is a college graduate and
has bad much xrierinp insehnol work
Hbe has been highly recommended by tbe
leading members of tbe populist, demo
cratic and silver republican parties. In
her selection the superintendent bas
chosen wisely, ,1
It is a great thinir. this payment of
28,000,000 of indebtedness. It means
that there bave beeu 28,000 foreclosure
cases of an average of f 1,000 each.
There wa not one case in ten where any
actual money changed hands. It was
merely a transfer of tbe title to Nebraska
real estate from Nebraskans to bankers,
and bond holding mortgagees in the east.
It is a great evidence of prosperity.
About 28,000 of our citizens formerly
borne owners, reduced to 28,000 tenants
by the operation of the gold standard
by which tho value of the dollar appre
ciated to such an extent that they
were unable to meet their, obligations.
After Judas betrayed Christ he had
decency enough ltd t to go and hung
himself. 15 11 1 the republican party, after
betraying the peopla of Nebraska in the
most shameless manner, adds insult to
injury by heuping all kinds of slander
and insults on the populist officials who
bave in a few short mouths, brought
state warrants back to par mid made
the credit of the state one more good.
The republican party hasn't 101 much
decency left as Judas had, mid will live

VELKOATEft TO THE CONVENTIOX.
Tbe state convention to be beld at
Lincoln in September will be one of the
largest ever beld in tbe state. County
conventions selecting delegtes should
select men wbo will attend. Tbe dele
gates elected should be given credentials
to the populist convention alone. That
is, the same men should not be chosen to
be delegates to tbe populist convention
and also a delegate to one of the other
conventions. In case a party present
credential to tbe populist convention
wbo bas already presented credentials
to either of the other conventions to bo
held in tbe city on tbe same day, bis
right to a seat will probably bo con
tested. Tbe conventions of tbe demo
crats aud free silver republicans which
are to be held in Lincoln on the same
day as tbe populist convention bave no
connection with the populist convention
whatever. Tbey are throe separate and
distinct organizations, In making up
the list of those entitled to seats in the
populist convention person holding
credentials to either of tho other con
ventions, should, and undoubtedly will
be declared ineligible to tt seat' in the
populist convention.
It Is important the three convention
should correctly represent their several
political parties. It is proper that the
conventions should agree upon a course
of combined and harmonious action if
the conventions so desire, but any amuU
gatnatlon of the party organizations
should be avoided.

The last legislature passed an act
providing for the appointment of judges
and clerks of election by the county
judges of th different counties, The
law is now in full force and effect and
will govern at the coming election, All
judges aud clerks of election must be ap
pointed by the county Judge at least b?o
days before election duy.
Tbe law provides that there shall be
nominated at the precinct primaries
three judge and two clerks of election
for the precinct. The chairman and
secretary of the precinct primary meet
ing must make up the list of persona
selected to act as fudges and clerk of
election, certify that it Is correct and
send it to tbe county Judge. From the
list ent in by tbe chairmen of the pre
cinct pri marie of the several parties
the county judge must make his selec
tion, choosing for each precinct on
Judge of election from tbe party polling
the highest number of votes in the pre
cinct at tbe lost election, on from the
party polling the next highest, and o
from th party polling tbe third highest.
He Is required to appoint tbe clerks of
election in the same manner.
It should be observed that it is neces
sary for the precinct primaries to 110m.
mate three judges and two clerks of elec
tion and that the chulrmnn awl uwre
tnry ot the tiicetlhitmnnt certify to th
list and send it to tbe county judge.
Tbe New York Mail and Express says
"If the popocratic managers want to
avoid trouble thev shimM I lib a imma.
diate measures to demonetize the
Kionayke gold Held."
It will not lie necessary for tho popo
cratic managers to take the initiative in
the matter. If by nny chance goid
should be discovered iu sufficient quanti
ties to materially lessen its value (which
is not at all probable) and iu that wnv
lessen the purchasing power ol tbe dol
lar, the gold standard udyocate mid
bond holders would be the first to ndvo-
cate tint demonetization of gold. They
did it iu tho early fifties in Austria, and
advocated lis demonetization in
many other countries. The men
who hold the securities that
call for dollars will s.e to It that th
value of the dollar does not trrow less.

will not 1st heard of.
