I J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pub.
r Reports from certain parties are
^■oing out that The Northwestern
Els owned and controlled by W. R.
■lellor. In justice to The North
-Western. we must brand sucli re
Xpports as false, as Mr. Mellor has not
Kt this time, nor ever has to our
^knowledge had one dollar invested in
likhis paper. The ownership of The
■Northwestern is vested in the
■writer. J. W. Burleigh, and no other
Iwan or company of men, own, control
t or dictate its policy or are consulted
B In regard to the same. We trust this
I Is sufficiently plain to stop this report.
! According to the LincolnStar.Gov.
I Mickey says lie is a receptive candi
j date for the L’. S. senatorship, but
will make no tight for it. We rather
admire the “bull in the china shop”
idea of of breaking in: that if a thing
Is worth having, it is wortli going
after. To our way of thinking, Gov.
Mickey has had about all that is com
ing to him, and about all he should
ask for. Yet the Lord knows, the
itch for office is of the accumulative
Sort— the more you iich, the more
you scratch for. Lay down. Brother
Mickey, and annoint yourself with
the oil of content till you get rid of
the feverish desire. Your admini:
trations have been clean and efficient,
and all that any people could ask.
Why should you tarnish or blemish
their luster by the display of an inor
dinate lust for office?
Norris Brown is all right in his
desire to be made a U, S. senator, but
lie should call off some of his fool
friends who persuade themselves they
are a part of God’s annointedand any
who fail to see tilings as they do are
going to the demnition bow-wows, so
U* speak. Some time since, The
North western had an explanation
of It's attitude on the senatorial
question declining to be a boomer to
any great extent, when one of the
Brown sattelites. whose initials closely
resemble those of Perkins of the St.
Paul Republican, Immediately sent a
broadside into poor us, loaded with
the stuff we lave alluded to as "fool
friendship," to the effect tlrnt we
were looking for financial recompense,
because we did not jump into the
Brown vehicle instanter. It is such
fool friends that disgust the conser
vative element of any party, and hurt
the cause of the men who are their
political prophets. Can Norris Brown
expect to swim to the shining shore
With these millstones about his neckV
Jt Is a little funny, but do you
notice that the State Journal is blow
ing hot and cold on every candidate
for governor who comes out, unless it
be. of course, our own John Wall. For
some reason, it would not be hard to
tell, John Wall is non persona grata
to the Journal force of strikers. That
paper talks a little for Sheldon, says
ft kind word for Steele, avoids hitting
Weston, let# Miles alone, but for John
Wan, that hwnaeulate. never-does-a
wrong-act paper, can not find a good
word on any account, To hear the
Journal wail, one would not suspect
that any case of grafting was or ever
could be suspected of it. The fact
nevertheless exists that the State
Journal was never known to advocate
a man, a piece of legislative action or
g solitary tiling that did not smell of
State Journal gain to the immaculate
gentleman wh° control its destinies.
And for that and many Other of its
personal re& ons tjf#2 Spate Jeupial
cannot find a good word to say f<ir
Hon. John Wall for governor,
Teachers’County Institute,
County institute begins next Mon
day and all teachers are expected to
be present. The instruction this year
will be almost entirely professional,
only enough academic work being
done to furnish illustrations. The in
structor* harp ft reputa
tion and are expert# in their lines.
An interesting feature of the work
will be an exposition of a method of
putting industrial work into the pri
mary grades. Material has been pro
cured and the teachers will be taught
how to use it in actual school-room
work. The primary instructor. Miss
Greves. will also give a musical recital
Illustrating the kind of music and
gqr)£9 t'h!11suiuble for 11,6 Primr
fy grade#, fete RWF metflod °f
instruction in the wwY of toMung
music to chiJdren, Tills recital will
be given at the opera house, and will
be interesting to all, whether they
have children to be taught or net.
The second part of the program will
be of a character to entertain lovers
of vocal music. It will be necessary
to charge an admission fee for this
feature of the institute, but no one
who hears the lady sing will regret
the slight expense.
