The great bridge at St. Louis was
recently tested by moving fourteen
locomotives over it, averaging forty
tons each, making 560 tons or 1,120,000
pounds. The greatest deflection at
liny one place was 3J inches. The
carrying power of the bridge was pro
nounced all right.

The black bug is making havoc in
the peach nurseries of Maryland. A
dispatch from Wilmington, Del., says
that in one nursery the grafted stock
ofS3,000 trees was entirely killed.
The insect is even capable of destroy
ing large trees, as it thickly covers the
leaves and prevents vegetation. None
of the ordinary means of destroying
insects seem to avail, as this scourge
Is very tenacious of life, and liquid
application that will kill the tree does
not affect it. It resembles tho rose
bug and is regarded by entomolgists as
a similar pest to the cherry achid.
A Democratic correspondent of the
Omaha Herald keeps that sheet post
ed up on the grange movements in
this county, hitches the grangers and
new party together, and leads the
Herald to hope that the Democracy,
with proper discreetness down here
will come in this fall for a much cov
eted loaf or two. The Herald recent
ly received some news from its accom
plice in this county which elicited the
following amongst other very cun
ning suggestions :
"The Independents can control
and carry Nebraska against the Re
publican party with its 8,000 mnjor
ity only upon one condition, viz.: by
adopting a platform and nomiuatinj;
'a ticket that will draw the united
Democratic vote."
"If the Independents in this State
pursue a conservative course, and ad
opt tho platform of their associates in
Illinois somewhat toned doton on the
railroad question to adapt it to our
differing condition, they can elect
Governor, State ticket, Legislature,
and United States Senator, and sweep
Nebraska by a popular majority of
thousands."
Of course the "Independents" oft
Nemaha will adoot platforms and
tone things down to suit Miller. His
advice is not a bit thin it ought to
catch almost, everybody. Miller
wants our Farmeraand Laborers to ad
opt a Demooratio platform and Dem
ocrats to bo nominated to stand on it,
and then, he being a lickspittle for
railroads, throws them a 6ugar plum
by recommending the "Independ
ents" to "tone down" their ideas
about railroad monopolies the very
things the people want to take in tirm
hands and regulate. But why have a
democratic platform ? Why not ad
opt a platform that will draw tho
united Republican vote? If the In
dependents wish to adopt a platform
with a view to eecuring the united
vote of either party, why not bid for
or contract with Republicans, the
itronger party? Could Miller tell
why? He could if he could possibly
tell the truth about anything. Dem
ocrats would etill have to take back
iejjta thftt's the answer.
A granger friend Informs us that
certain granges within his knowledge
in.the county tolerate political dis-.
cussIqus, and dealreB us to call them
to order. To do this let us read the
followingjrom theNatioual Platform,
to-wit:
"No Grange, If true to its obliga
tions, can discuss
POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS
questions, call political conventions,
nor nominate candidates, nor even
discuss their merits in its meetings.
Yet the principles we teach underlie
all true politics, all true statesman
ship, and if properly laid- out will
tend to purifv the whole political at
migphere of our country, for we seek,
the greatest trood to theprcatest num
ber, but we must always bear in mind
that nn one by becoming a grange
member glees up that alienable right
and duty which belongs to every
American citizen, to take" a proper in
terest in the politics of his country.
On the contrary. It is rijrht for every
member to do all in hi? power Ieifrti
mately to influence for good theaction
of any political party to which he be
longs." When the new party was organized '
iu this county, an attempt was made,
first, to organize it entirely within
the county grange; but Mr. Rridgo
knowing that to do such a thing
would neccessitato political discus
sions, and be in direct violation of the
obligation assumed by grangers, very
properly put a stop to the proceedings
and caused the doors to be opened to
the public, and thingb were done with
rs least, a nemuiu:B tu pumicuy. ii
...1 . 1.1 I.lSt- T.
wpuio nave neen jurl.uss p'tmiu as any
meeting could be but for one thing,
viz, a previous and timely notice to
the public that a convention of labor
erf and farqiers would be held at a
given time and place to organize a
new political party. This.it i&true,
would have obviated the objection
raised, that It Is a secret sooiety or
ganization. But we will get back to our text and
ray in conclusion that the usefulness
of granges will be at an end when po
litical questions . absorb .their time
und chief $UentIpn.
THE WWAREPTJDtlCAH, PIjAT.
FORM.
On- the first iust. the Republican
State convention was held at the city
of Des Moines. A good ticket was
nominated and a platform adopted
which we think no Republican can
possibly rind fault with. Wo could
most heartily 6tan.d on and work for
tho principles of such a platform.
The first resolution reads:
Resolved, That as the policy of the
Republican party in. relation to finan
ce has afforded the people not only
safe, sound, and popular currency, of
equal and uniform worth in every
portion of our common country, but
bus likewise greatly improved the
credit of our country at homo ami
abroad, we point with pride to ita rec
ord ami accomplishments in this re
yard, and while reaffirming the policy
announced by the party in the nation
al conventions of 1868 and 1872, and
triumphantly endorsed by the people
at tho poll?, a policy which, while
contributing to the public credit, has
enhanced the individual and collect
ive prosperity of the American peo
ple. We favor such legislation as
shall make national banking free to
all, under jtiptand equal laws, based
upon the policy of specie resumption
at such time as is consistent with the
national and industrial interests of
the country, to the end that the vol
ume of currency may be regulated by
the natural laws of trade.
The second resolution reaffirms the
declaration of the Republican nation
al platform of 1872, which favors the
payment of the national debt in ac
cordance with both tho letter ttnd
spirit of the laws under which -such
debt was contracted.
No. 3 asserts that under the Con
stitution Congress has power to reg
ulate all commerce among the several
States, whether carried on by rail
roads or rivers.
No. 4 takes the sensible gronnd
that the State has the sole power to
regulate railway transportation with
in its own limits.
No. 5 advocates the protection of
all citizens, white or black, native or
foreign born, in the enjoyment of alH
rights guarantied by the constitution
of the United States and the amend
ments thereto.
No. 6 applauds Congress for the re
duction of Government expenses, in
the sum $27,000,000 for tbe coming
fiscal year, showing that the Repub
lican party on questions of retrench
ment and economy, is carrying out in
good faith, its oft repeated pledges
to the people.
No. 7 declares In favor of an.amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for the election of President by a di
rect vote of the people.
A demand is made for oquitablei
laws in reference to patents, pledges

Iowa Republicans have a platform
that they need not be a?hanied-of, and
which will lead them to. another
great victory.
HOW NO SECURE PENSION JIOXEY.
The act approved June ISth, entitled
an act to increase pensions in certain
cases, provides that all persons who
are now entitled to pensions under
'existing laws, and who have lost
either an arm at or above the elbow,
or a leg at or above the knee, shall be
Fated in the second class and shall re
ceive twenty-four dollars per month ;
provided, that no artificial limbs or
commutation therefor bhall be fur
nished to bucIi persons as shall be en
tilled to pensions under this act.
This act, by its terms was to take ef
fect from and after June 4th 1874.
Commissionerof Pensions, annonnces
that persons embraced within the
provisions of this act can secure the
benefits of the same .without formal
presentation and without the inter
vention of an attorney. A power of
attorney will not be recognized in an
application for increase of pension
provided for in this act. A letter from
the pensioner, addressed to the Com
missioner of Pensions, enclosing his
pension certificate and giving his pott
office address will be a sufficient pre
sentation of his claim.
AVE KEVKR SAID IT.
Tiie Blair Times of July 2nd gives
us credit for an article advocating the
election of Gov, Paddock to the U. S.
Senate, which never appeared in the
Advertiser in an' shape whatever.
We presume the Times placed us in
this false position through a mistake
and that it will correct its error as
soon as it is made aware of the fact.
We are not advocating the claims of
Mr. Paddock nor any other man at
the present time.
The Attorney lias decided that un
der the act of June lGth, 1S74, no pay
ment can be made to any railroad
company for the transportation of
truopsor property of the United States
when its railroad was constructed in
whole or in part by the aid of a grant
of publio lat.'ds upon any conditions.
( As to the use o.r eaid railroads by the
United States the remedy of such
company, if it has any, is by suit

OUR SA2JSONAI BX$TX.DAY.
Since our last issue our readers hase
celebrated the ninety-eighth birth
day of the Republic. We suspect
tha no very marked difference occur
red in the manner in wjbich it was
celebrated, distinguishing it from the
ninety and seven anniversaries which
have preceded. Young; America
doubtless arose early and- ushered lu
the morn with the explosion of fire
crackers and the noise of torpedoes.
Mothers and kitchen girlfl spanked
them for putting out tho fires and be
ing in the way generally. Whole
villages turned out In the dust and
heat to listen to the "soaring of the
eagle" by pompous orators, in a
"small-pot-soon-hot sort of elo
quence." The battles of the Revolu
tion were fought again on many a ros
trum, while the soldiers in Valley
Forge wero secretly envied by the
scorched and heated hearers. Moun
tains of solid: ice,, cream did "melt,
thaw and resolve" themselves into
nectar; rivers of lemonade and
oceans of lager beer cooled the parch
ed throat of beauty or rolled into the
yawning "Dutch Gap." Young peo
ple paired, surprisingly well, brass
bands "tooted" themselves to "airy
nothingness," fiddlers tickled their
cracked instruments with "Old Rye
Straw," "Zip Coon," or "Arkansaw
Traveler," and bev gardens flourish
ed as trees planted by rivers of wa
ter. In short there was a grand holi
day in which, every-day cares were
laid aside.and very man felt in his
veins tho tiugle of that mysterious
element th-at makes demagogues
eouietimes. feel willing yes, even
an.sjous to die for their country, if it
could conveniently happen before tho
naxt election.
But air iid all thisturmoil, this uni
versal ''eat-drink-and-be-merry" de
votion to pleasure seeking, are there
any wb.o sat down and closely consid
ered the events which started this
nation on her career of glory ; who
saw. in the events themselves and
their causes and effects, more than
dead facts? History itself is of little
import unless the effects with which
it deals are generalized into laws by
wiiicli the nice is governed. It boots
u. little to know that wo have an ad
vanced science, that art ha3 attained
a high state of perfection, that gov
ernment U just, powerful and stable,
that the citizen enjoys a large meas
ure of civil and political liberty, un
less we know as on antithesis the
status of these various things at the
beginning and before our national ex-
istence and can trace the causes which
have worked the change. If there
were .serious restraints on
the proper
J,ueriy or le sunjecc men, now have
l"ei t,ep remove.i, and nave we
now reached the ultimatum the per
fection of civil government? If the
government has grown more stable
how come It thus, and is its perpetui
ty insured? If science has has been
developed and arts improved, cannot
the very knowledge of that growth
impart to the car of progress an acci
dental momentum?
"Whither are we tending?" is n
question that is asked, and it is not
an idle one. Are we rushing ahead
to achievements which will startle
even ourselves, or has the sun of our
prosperity reached its zenith and is it
receding into a darker night or suffer
ing an eclipse so that the fragments of
our civilization beyond that decoy
shall be food for the antiquaries? Rut
we will cease our moralizing, with
the hope that the good old ship of
tate freighted with the wealth of a
hundred years may yet kail on and
round the period of its first century
in all its pristine vigor, with ita col
ors flying and its sails well filled with
the stiff breeze of progress.
The Falls City Journal is laboring
under a misapprehension of fucLs
concerning the meeting of the Re
publican Stale Executive Committee
lately held in Omuba, andaftercharg
ing several unheard of thing-, aiks
why Judge Fulton, of Richardson
county, had no official notice of the
meeting.
For the information of the Journal.
as well as others who are not posted,
we will say that a Central Committee
is chosen at each State Convention,
to hold its life until another conven
tion meets. In this State said com
mittee has generally consisted of one
member from each Senatorial Dis
trict, or thirteen in all. At the last
State Convention, however, two dis
tricts situated iu the West part of the
State were each allowed one extra
member, for reasons then and there
considered sufficient. After the elec
tion of a central committee in open
convention, that committee elects five
of its own members to form an exec
utive committee, the duties of which
are not of so general a nature as the
tciium uimnnuiee. i lie meeting in
question was called by Mr. Johnson,
chairman of the central committee,
not by Major Caffrey. The notice
was published in the usual form, and
the date right as far as we saw. We
were present at the meeting as a spec
tator, and know of our own personal
knowledge that no attempt was made
to apportion the representation of the
State, nor to fix the time of holding
the State Convention. Before the
meeting was called to order, and after
adjournment both theo question
were freely discussed by all persons
who chose to participate.
For tlte benefit of those who think
they see "wool in the fence," we will
state that nothing was said or done at
that meeting which tended in the re
motest degree to how any attempt to
dictate to the party, or to put up any
'jobs" of any nature. It was purely
a bucinec? meetinrr that rmilri Iinvn
boon held in any publio place, as far
as uhe transactions are coiifprned. We
have '" doubt that when Judge Ful
ton knr.ws all the circumstancps he
will have n different feeling about the
matter. lid Cloud Chief.
If the Fah City Journal has a
greater desire ts? preserve harmony
amongst the Republicans of its coun

it not come out and acknowledge that
it was mistaken in its charges that
the State Central Committee was
playing an unfair and underhanded

SCHOOL MATTERS.
LETTERS FROM OS fc COUNTY SU
PERINTENDENT. BEDFORD DISTRICT.
James Tucker is teacher, at a salary
of $35 ; number of scholars hi attend
ance 14. Mr. Tucker is an experi
enced teacher, and but few have been
more successful. This, I believe, is
his third term in this district. Loves
the work, and when in the school
room his whole attention is devoted
to the cause. His very appearance
infuses life and energy into the pupils.
An idle scholar has but little show
here. This district has been very
fortunate in the way of employing
competent teachers. Great care is
exercised in this matter. They must
know something of the qualifications
of the candidate; the ability -to gov
ern, the moral character. &c. before
they hire. If all would do this, there
would be fewer failures and n great
deal more good accomplished. I know
of no district in this county where
the children are better informed, and
parents more Intelligent, than in
Bedford. But aside from this I must
6ay that with but two exceptions they
have the poorest house in the county.
IIARMOX'S DISTRICT.
Henry Harmon is director, Henry
Hall teacher. Number in attendance
hvontv-fniir! comnensation $3G. Mr.
Hall is what we term an old teacher,
having been in the harness for many
years. Great changes have taken
place in our educational system since
lie commenced; and while he does
not adopt all the new theories, yet he
is.ajlrm believer in a progressive syp
teiri. I have no hesitancy ,n saying
to any district that may employ Mr.
Hall, that the morals of their children
will be safely guarded. He acts upon
the principle that the use of the intel
lect depends upon the condition of the
heart. If the heart is impure the
power of the intellect will be directed
in the wrong way. Mr. Hall opens
school with prayer. Some such exer
cise as this singing, reading a por
tion of the scriptures, &c has a good
moral effect; but whatever exercise it
may be, it should bo brief, as very
little good can be accomplished by re
citing long prayers, reading long
chapters, or making long speeches to
children.
HIGHLAND PRECINCT.
D. Y. Culbertson in director, and
Lorenia Dressier teacher; compensa
tion $33.33 ; number in attendance is
twenty-four. From my own observa
tion, and what I learned from the
parents, iMiss Dressier is teaching a
good school. She was educated at the
Normal School in this State, has had
considerable experience, and is very
thorough in what she has passed
over. Intends returning to the
Normal School as soon as her
school closes. Governs well; imparts
with facility and ease; speaks with
firmness, and the children take for
granted something is meant. With
the exception of the high school
buildings in Brownville and Nemaha
City, this is the largest, if not the beet
in the county. It is 20x34, with a 14
foot ceiling, well put together, and of
good material. It is bricked from the
floor to the ceiling, and then plastered,
making it very substantial and com
fortable. The furniture they pur
chased of the Sterling school furnish
ing company of Illinois, which is very
good. Seats sufficient for sixty schol
ars, besides several recitation benches
Including out-buildings and fencing,
which they expect to put up this fall.
the whole will amount to $1,500.
Surely such Improvements as this re
flects great credit upon the district,
the county, and the State. Sufficient
taxes are voted to cover all indebted
ness. When I visited the school I
found Mr. Culbertson there, who
takes great iuten st in school matters.
uien juock precinct nas no warmer
friend than Mr. C. He tells me they
want a first class teacher for the win
ter term, and none other need apply.
The schools will nearly all close
this week, yet a few will continue
through the hot season. This is cer
tainly a waste of school money.
Mr Editor, if you will excuse mo I
will leave school matters and say a
few words apout peaches. I have
been in many orchards this season.
and with lut one exception the trees
are bending with this delicious fruit.
I have seen some orchards which, if
nothing happens, will yield 500 bush
els. In the exception, I refer to my
own orchard. I havo about 100 five
year old trees, and seemingly in as
healthy a condition as my neighbor's,
but when ripe I believe I can devour
every peach iu the orchard, Unci then
button my vest. My trees are on an
orstern slope ; I obtained the pits
from grafed fruit, and took great pains
in cultivating. Why this failure?
If some one will be so kind as to an
swer, they will not only oblige myself,
but probably many others.

MISSOURI RIVER BARGES.
It i3.aaid the Star Line of steamers
will put on a number of barged in the
Missouri Biver trade this season. We
hope this is true, for there will be a
world of grain la coine out of Kan
sas, Nebraka, and that portion of
Missouri which skirts the river. We
furthermore hope that the Stur Line
will have the good sense to make a
low rate. Wheat and corn are both
sure to be plenty and cheap during
uie coming ian ami winter, and con
sequently every care must be taken
not to add too much to the farmers'
burden by levying too high a trans
portation tax. St. Louis wants all
the grain she can swing this year, and
we appeal to our boats and 'railways
to give us a hard pan rate for the next
twelve months arid make up hy big
loads what is lacked in rate. It will
be better for the Star lino to carry
down full barges at a low rate than
one-fourth of a load at a high rate,
for the success of this line Is in the
future; and if tbe newpaper9 Sqj.
ceed in- convincing the public that
the Star Line's barges, are bringing
enormous quantities of grain in. bulk
out of the Missouri, the. line wiM- le
sure to. get. enormous quantities to
carry, and-if the rate is kept low no
competitipn will be invited. We
might further suggest- with propriety
that if it-Is the intention of the Star
Line to tow barges and vigorously so
licit bulk grain-to fill them, Hip soon
er that fact is advertised all through
the regions tributary to the river the
better it will be for the business of the
line. Missouri Democrat.
THE GOVERXORSniP
A correspondent of the Omah
ihMln-
ion declares in favor of the re-election
of Gov. Furna3 and advances the fol
lowing very good reasons :
Not wishing to commit you In any
way, and knowing your paper to be
fearless iu its expressions for the pub
lic atui industrial good, can I presume
upou your forbearance by asking a
ulace in the columns of the Union for
the following comment upou this ar
ticle taken from the Herald? While
it was written in a satirical strain,
that paper, unfortunately for itself,
has done tho Governor justice in
these words, and in doing so, it has
re-echoed the wishes of the majority
of this community, who desire to see
Governor Furnas honored by a re
election to his present high office, and
a triumphant vote of confidence iu
hia inteirritv and upright character
by the people of Nebraska :
"Gov. Furnas ought to be the com
ing man for Governor. The same
people who voted for him before in
the face of Mr. Moffat's affidavit on
the capital business, ought to vote for
him now. Pie is certainly no worse
now than then ; he is just ns honest,
just as able, anil just as innocent of
grave offenses charged against him in
1872 as he is in 1874.
"Usage, and that regard for consist
ency which is the crown jewel in the
Republican eorouet. should cause the
party founded on n great moral idea
to re-nominate Gov. Furnas by ac
clamation, and re-elect him if they
can. Failure to do this will be an
impeachment of that party itself, and
a verdict in the memorable libel suit
that cannot be reversed."
The above are the sentiments of a
great many strong and true men iu
Nebraska. If the Republican party
is governed in the selection of any
other gentleman, through the influ
ence of the infamous charges heaped
upon Gov. Furnas, it will disgrace it
self and become unworthy of the con
fidence of the people. If the Gov
ernor desires a re-election, it is the
duty of the Republican party to use
every effort to elect him.
As the Herald says (though it does
not mean it.) failure to do this will be
an impeachment of that party itself.
Thousands will vote for him now who
did not do so before, and we believe
he can poll a larger vote than any
other gentleman whom the party can
select. T''ese are our own private
views, and we give them for what
ihey may he worth. As, to Mr. Moffat-
affidavit, it is an error so far as
Gov. Furnas is concerned. He ac
knowledges this in the following
words :
"After having read tiie testimony
of B. P. Rankin given in the above
cie, as well as his letters to you on
the -uliject. w hieh you have submit
ted to me, I am convinced .beyond a
doubt that I was mistaken in my be
lief, and I deem it both a duty and a
pleasure, and but just to you and the
people of 3'our State, to say that I do
not believe you ever received a dollar
of the corruption fund referred to,' or
that you knew at the time of its man
ipulation or existence. On the other
hand I believe you have been Che vic
tim of a bi-e scheme on the part of
another at that time, to make money
for himself under pretense of paying
it to you. At the same time, Tarn
still confident that you were in the
hank at the time I paid (he money to
Rankin. No conversation, however,
took place at the time between you
and myself or between you and Ran
kin, and lam now satisfied that you
were an innocent bystander, and
brought in there by Rankin for a pur
pose." These are our private views, writ
ten at-tiie suggestion of no one. ami
only with the view nf vindicating an
innocent man from the foul wrongs
with which he has been charged.
R. V. Hughes, of Brownville. is in
thefity. "Dick" is an old time friend
who for years used to make our ofli"i
his lipndqunrters, as Ben. Butler did
his snddle. It is possible that he will
conclude to locate here. Wo hone he
