pers may use tiieeo bead lines at pleas
ure. Prof. S. Bacon, Superintendent of
the Blind Asylum, and founder of
the Institution, in thlB State, has been
removed victimized by the Board
of Commissioners of Publio Lands.
These Commissioners, headed by
Tzsohuok, Secretary of State, -assume.
the power of acting in this matter, as
It is claimed by those who have look
ed up the law, that the law does not
vest in them any such power. Al
though unlawful, arbitrary, and more
than that, tyrannical, oppressive and
unjust toward Prof. Bacon, ho will
have to step aside for his successor
who has already arrived at Nebraska
City unless he resists by appealing
to the law, which we understand he
baB contemplated doing. Wo do not
believe Mr. Bacon should be removed
from the superlutendenoy, at the pres
ent time, without good reason, or rea
sons for so doing better at least than
any given by Tzschuok, being that
Prof. Bacon is blind, and that he
manifested displeasure ata palabie In
sult offered him by the Commission
ers in offering him a stingy pittanoe
as pay, and tyrannically saying "take
that or nothing." Tzschuck certain
ly thinks that he is a sort of a little
King Wllbelme, and that where he
in oflioially concerned, it doesn't tako
two or more to make a bargan that
just Tzschuck Is all that's necessary.
We do not believo Prof. Bacon should
be removed, for tho following reasons:
1. He, and bis wife, the matron,
are honorable upright people.
2. Ho is a thorough scholar in all
that pertains to the profession.
3. His experiences of many years
as teacher, and prinolpal of blind as
ylums in other States class him
amongst the best educators of the
blind.
4. The deep interest ho takes, in a
humanitarian sense, in educating and
training to happincHB and content
ment, those who liko himself have
been deprived of tho sense of sight.
5. Ho is tho founder of the school
In Nebraska, and without whose ef
forts before the legislature and else
where, we would not to-day havo an
nej-Ium for the blind in the State.
G. Ho has been since the com
mencement of the sohool superintend
ing it without adequate compensa
tion, and. even drawing on hia own
purso for funds to keep the institution
running.
Prof. Bacon may be compelled to
give up the plaoe to which he is sa
justly entitled, but it is due the peo
ple to understand tho matter, and
draw their own just conclusions re
garding his very ungenerous treat
ment by the said Board of Commis
sioners. On last Saturday morning tho two
eastern spans of tho U. P. It. R. bridge
at Omaha were blown from their piers.
Wo glean as follows, from the Repub
lican 's account of the catastrophe:
Of the many rain and wind storms,
of which this city and vicinity has
been the subject, the one yesterday
morning was the most disastrous to
our common Interests.
Many could not believe the story,
being unable to surmise how this well
constructed bridge could sustain any
serious damage.
With the multitude a Republican
reporter visited tho scene. We lirat
went-to the eastern end of the bridge
as it now stands and viewod the wreck.
Two spans Were gone the two at the
extreme end on tho Iowa side. Noth
ing remained between us and tbe eas
tern bank except the lone pier. The
nearest span had fallon Into the water
and was out of sight. The one on the
eastern shore lay against the embank
ment, tbe strong wrought iron bars
being bent into all conceivable shapes.
The large pieces which were of cast
iron were badly broken. This was tho
sight.
Of course tho report that It had been
struck by lightning had been disputed
both in fact and in theory. It was no
more possible for lightning to hurt
one part of this bridge than it would
be for it to splinter a lightning rod.
Tho Bpans had been lifted bodily by
the wind, In some form a cyclone or
whirlwind most likely. We say lift
ed, for there were no signs of its hav
ing slid off the piers or being blown
over. The pieron which westood did
not show any evidence of the massive
structure having been removed from
it. We could not conoelvo it possible
for wind to raise this enormous weight;
but this was the only solution. It was
tbe wind, in its resistless whirl of im
mense magnitude.
It is not definitely known what will
bo the exact coBt of replacing the
spans. It has been variously estima
ted at from one hundred to two hun
dred thousand dollars. The remain
ing spans are left uninjured. The plan
of the bridge was so aranged that each
span was entirely independent of tbe
other. The falling of these two spans
in no wise strained the other parts.
The two piers are left standing with
out the least Injury. It is supposed
that 90 days is tbe shortest period in
which we can expect to see this great
thoroughfare fully repaired and ready
for use.
The bridge company were yesterday
putting down board walks across the
sandbar to the channel, where they in
tend to have a rope ferry for the con
venience of passengers. This 1b the
only temporary relief practicable.
Unfortnately there is no ferry boat
here, and It will take some time to
bring one.
Tho spans are 250 feet in length, and
weigh about 250 tons each and will
have to be manufactured in Chicago
probably.

Won't Sherman have bis official
head amputated for making political
speeches? Kearney Times.
We don't know, indeed, but pre
sume not it's most too big ; and then
tho "order1 gives ono the privilege of
speaking or writing his political
vieWB.
A lettor In tho Kearnoy Press, from
Minneapolis, Minn., referring to Gen.
Connor's candidacy for Supremo
Judge of Nebraska, esys :
lam glad to see Gen. Connor's name
so prominently mentioned in connec
tion with tho supreme benoh. He
would fill tho position with honor to
himself and the state. Of one thing
the people of the whole state could be
assured of, should be be exalted to. that
responsible place by tho suffrages of
the electors, and that is, they would
secure an upright aud impartial judge,
who could not, consequently, be
Bwerved from a rigid and faithful dis
charge of bis duties, by any outside
influence, pressure or prejudice what
ever, come from what quarter, party,
clique or faction, soever it might. Let
the west demand justice at the hands
of the state convention, and nominate
him, and he would be elected by a larg
er majority than any other person In
the state. Of vast legal learning, and
ripe eoholarsbip, he would make the
model judge.
THE FINANCIAL MUDDLE.
Ex-Senator Sherman, the author of
thespeole resumption act, and now
Seoretary of tho Treasury, has
felt himself compelled to go down on
the stump reoently, and explain what
he means by specie resumption. Ho
made a speech at his home, Mans
field, Ohio, in which he presented
both the "Southern Policy" of the
Administration, and tho financial
condition of affairs in this country.
Ho shows loss of both dignity and
temper in designating those who dif
fer with his financial policy as "luna
tics," and refusing to "debate with
men who indulge in suoh delusions."
He says: "What do we mean by
this phrase specie resumption? Is
It that we are to have no paper money
In circulation? If so, I am as much
opposed to It a3 any of you- Is it that
we aro to retire the greenbaok circu
lation? If so, I am opposed to It.
What I mean by specie payment is
simply that paper mouey ought to bo
made equal with coin, so that when
you receive It, it will buy as much
corn, beef or olothing as coin.'
If Mr. Sherman, and others who
have been manipulating tbe finances
of the country for years past, would
act in their official capacities as they
ialkovx the stump, there would bo no
cause for complaint on the part of the
people, and tbe business of tho coun
try; a greenback would purchase as
much of the staple demands as a gold
or silver dollar. But unfortunately
they do not. If Congress will simply
make the greenback, silver and gold
dollars, put them Into circulation, and
let them forever alone, there will be no
discrepancy. Tho purchasing power
of each will be tho same. The busi
ness of tho country will regulate the
relative values. But when Congress
says that greenbacks shall pay only
debts and taxes of individuals, and
that only gold shall pay the debt of
the nation, and that silver shall pay
only five dollars in debts and taxes, it
not only discredits its own Issues, but
trifles with the business interests of
the nation, and simply renders the
law-making power of the land a me
dium through which Wall street
trades and trafioks In money. That
is all tbero is of it, and Mr. Sherman
and others of his associates who are
stagnating the Industries of the coun
try, may talk till the orack of doom
otherwise, but the people and business
will not seo it as they present It.
Now tho Honorable Seoretary tells
us what he means by "specie pay
ments." Hear him:
"There aro two modes of resump
tion: either to diminish the amount
of notes to bo redeemed, which is
commonly called a contraction of the
currency ; or, by the accumulation of
coin in tho treasury, to enable the
Secretory to maintain resumption.
The one practical defect in the law is,
that the Secretary Is not at liberty to
sell bonds of tho United States for
United States notes, but must sell
them for coin. As coin is not in cir
culation among tho people, he is
practically prohibited from selling
bonds to the people, except by an
evasion of the law, or through private
parties. Bonds are in demand and
oan readily be sold at par In coin, and
sf ill easier at par, or at a premium, in
United States notes. The process of
selling for United States notes need
not go far bbfore the mere fact that
they are receivable for bonds wonld
bring them np to par in coin, and
that Is specie payments."
This is dear clear as mud. It is
tho"preBto! veto! change!" mode by
whioh we are told specio resumption
will be reached. Horaco Greeley
said : "To resume, means to resume!"
In other words, if the greenbacks and
National bank notes are but promises
to pay on tho part of Government, to
be redeemed In colu gold on de
mand, then resumption of specio pay
ment cannot be reaohed until all these
promises to pay are taken up paid off
in gold the "hocus pocus" of Mr.
Sherman to tbe contrary, notwith
standing. Mr. Sherman further informs tho
country that it was not tho intention
of Congress Js not his desire to con
tract the ourrency, and yet in this
same speech that "greenbacks have
been retired sinco 1875 about twenty
three millions of dollars, and "since
March last about six millions of dol
lars." This, he says, "has been done
by tho United States." In addition
to this retirement of greenbacks, the
Secretary states that -"there Is now
deposited with the Treasury, by pri
vate corporations, banks and individ
uals, $57,170,000 of United States
notes." He further says in thesame
paragraph, "clearly showing that
there is no want of currency when
demanded by the requirements of
businees." Thus, by his own show
ing, the attempt to resume specie
payment In 1879, has already thrown
out of circulation over eighty millions
of dollars! In addition to this, it
may bo said that twico that sum In
vested in manufactories, has been
locked up, and not less than six mil
lions of laborers thrown out of em
ployment. This the country thinks
is rather an expensive attempt at ac
complishing an Impossibility specie
resumption.

Art Publishing.
Few people are aware of the won
derful progress that Art has made In
this country during the last-quarter of
a century. It is but a feAv decades
since, that those who desired to beau
tify and adorn their homeB, were
obliged to depend almost entirely on
foreign artists. But such a stale of
affairs in this age of progress and im
provement could not Jastjiong with
the great American people. Genius
from the East to the West, from the
North to the Gulf of Mexico on the
south, answered tho demand for beau
ty, taste and refinement, and to-day
our leading artists aro not surpassed
by the leading modern masters of Art
in Europe.
Great Art publishing establishments
havo sprung up, and by various pro
cesses the finest and most expensive
paintings are reproduced In all their
elegance and beauty, and at a price
within tho means of the masses. So
that no ono need be without the refin
ing influences of beautiful pictures at
home.
Among the progressive leading Art
Publishing firms of tho country, we
tako pleasure in mentioning Georgo
Stinsou &f Co., of Portland Maine ;
they were among the first in the bus
iness, and we oan only understand the
colossal proportions their trade has
assumed by remembering that this is
a great and mighty Nation of nearly
fifty million people. We cannot bet
ter illustrate tbo magnitude of their
business than to state the amount of
money paid by tbem for postage
stamps during tho year 1876; we have
the figures direct from the firm, orwtf
should think there wns some mistake.
They paid for postage stamps during
the year 1876, thirty-three thousand
one hundred and four dollars and
ninety-two cents ($33,104.92) and, In
connection with this It should be re
membered that only the small or
ders were sent by mail, tho larger go
ing by express and freight. George
Stinson & Co's., agents are to bo found
in every Stato in the Union and Do
minion of Canada, and in every coun
ty with scarcely an exception.
Long since, this enterprising firm
reoognized tbe value of. printer's ink
judioiously used in advertising, and
they inform us that without it they
could never have extended their bus
iness as it is to-day, in three times the
number of years. A short time sinoe
they paid in a single day twenty-four
thousand dollars ($24,000.00) on aeon
tract for newspaper advertising. They
evidently long since found the road to
Buccess and havo neither turned to the
right nor the loft. Three things are
necessary for eminent success in busi
ness. First, standard honest goods
that tho people generally need and de
sire, let them bo the best, whatever
tho line of business. Second, letyour
prices be resonablo as low as possible.
Third, let tho people-know what you
have, and what you oan do, by liberal
and persistent advertising, and you
will find low prices, made known and
proved, will bring trade that wlfcive
a larger income than can be tiiado in
any other way.

crease of Commercial PirniSj
etc. Yicws of Senator Pud
dock.
United States Senator Paddok, of
Nebraska, was In town yesterday ; and
as Nebraska juBt now is coming to bo
one of the most Important agricultur
al and mining States in tho groat
Northwest, a Bulletin reporter had a
brief conversation with him on the
business outlook there. The Senator
is a man of large experience and
thorough information.
"Nebraska"," said Mr. Paddock, "is
buoyant; that's the word. Everyin
dustry In her borders is buoyant. All.
her cropB are better than she has ever
known. The area sown the largest,
and immigration the best."
"Has the grasshopper blockadebeen
broken?"
"Completely. That temporarily
checked Immigration, but for the past
year tho tide has been on theiuorease,
particularly from the Northern and
Northwest States. A colony from
Pennsylvania Is among our recent ac
quisitions, and a Swedish colony has
just purchased forty sections of rail-
roaa lands in roiK ana lork coun
ties." Do you think placing tho public
lands in the hands of tho railroads
has been an advantage to the State?
"Unquestionably ; their exhaustive
advertising and untiring and syste
matic efforts to sell theif lands have
stimulated tho best class of Immigra
tion by inducing thos able to purohase
lands to come singly and ifl colonies."
What is the general finanoial condi
tion of your people?
"According to my advices and ob
servations, excellent. I havo been
East for some time, but am constant
ly in communication with all parts of
tbe State, and thero seems to me to be
but little mortgaging ; while business
men toll me collections are surprising
ly prompt. You seo we have bad a
good cash market In the Black Hills,
Wyoming Territory, and neighboring
mining districts."
How about this year's crops, and
what is their probable effect on your
railroads ?
"That's a little difficult to answer.
The large crops East will lighten tho
Eastern demand that usually absorbs
our first shipments, but thesbortcrop
in California wheat and activity in
mining districts may offset this, and I
think our farmers aro disposed to hold
their foreign demand grain for spring
markets, particularly if the warprom-
ises to continue."
Can they do this without borrow
ing. "Yes. They aro able, as a rule, to
hold. Our Grangers having turned
their attention more to social culture
and Improvement In their calling
than to manipulating railroads and
politics, are, as a rule, thoroughly in
formed, and know hdw to discount
circumstances generally. The Gran
gers are taking vast pride in their
calling, and. doing all they can to dig
nify it and make it profitable. Town
ship and precinot libraries, improved
stock and farming implimeuts, and
sciipois are tneir main objects appar
ently." Are your banking facilities and
general business keeping pace with
agriculture?
"Yes, Indeed ? you would be sur
prised at the wholesale trade ofOma-
whoI.!e trldrin gweSrli of over
twu millions per annum, Whitney &
ii n Mra a i a - r n n as !. v.a m
French and Morgan & Co. are heavy
dealers in the same line, Stevens &
Wilcox and Tootle & Maul do a very
large wholesale business in dry goods ;
while Dewey & Stone, in furniture,
and M. Helman & Co., in olothing,
have metropolitan astablishments.
These, and several other firms as
worthy of mention, send regular trav
eling agents over the State and ad
joining sections. The Omaha Smelt
ing WorkB employ 200 hands and Her

revenue tax of $40,000 per month."
Who are among your most enterpris
ing and solid bankers?
"lu Omaha, there's Herman
Kountze, of the Kountze Bros., there

TZSCHUCK TALKS.
"Why Prof. Bacon lVas Removed.
Statements on Both Sides of the Case.
Seoretary Tzschuck was interview
ed recently, in regard to the Superin
tendent ot the Blind aeylum at Ne
braska City. He said ttiat in remov
ing him the board thought they were
acting for tbe bestluterestof the state.
Mr. Bacon is blind, and therefore, tbe
advancement of tbe asylum has been
necessarily slow. It is'true he conceiv
ed the idea of starting the asylum, and
advanced money to tnatend, which the
state repaid with interest. He also de
sired the state to pay him for lobbying
the appropriation for the building
through the legislature, but tbe board
very properly "refused. Bacon receiv
ed a salary of$900, his wife, as matron,
$400, aud his daughter $200, as a teach
er. Ho wanted $1,600 in all. There
are 14 pupils. Tbe newlyelectedup
erintendent receives $1,000, and $400
for the matron. It is hoped that the
number of pupils will increase under a
new and vigorous administration.
Mr. Bacon Is in very comfortable
circumstances pecuniarily, having
ample means of his own. He has held
the position little over two years. De
siring an increase of salary he has re
fused to receive pay for the last quar
ter, though the money has been
placed at his disposal. Liooln Globe.
Editor Nebraska City Press,
A few facts for your paper. Septem
ber 22nd., 1874 I arrived at Nebraska
City. I immediately proceeded to
take steps for tho establishing of the
Nebraska Institution for the Blind ;
with what result is well known. At
tho date of thefirst report Deo. 1st, 1S76
tho Board out of their limited means
wore only able to spare $1,400 for
teaching. This was deemed no more
than sufficient for my assistants leav
lng.me nothing. TJiey were only able
to do this by my advanciug $2,846.79
of which the present Board have re
turned to me only '$1,209.83 nearly
four months after it was appropriated.
The remainder of my bill they have
-neglected to act upon. At their first
moeting in February last, they asked
what salaries were expected ? They
were told that the old Board had said
the salary should be the same a3 the
Deaf and Dumb, namely $1200.00 for
Principal. No answer being received
on salries, tho last of Aprii I called
upon one of the members of tbe Board
to know what action had been taken,
as my assistants were beginning to
want some pay, as they had received
nothing since the first day of Decem
ber. He said no bills for'salarles had
been received, and that we should
present bil's for the first quarter, be
ginning Jauuary 1st. They could pay
nothing back of that. Accordingly
bill3 were presented the 1st of May
duly receipted. On the7th the Board
deliberately altered the receipts, and
cut them down twenty-five per cent.
in violation of the provisions of tbo
law. About the loth, I met the fame
member of tbe Board, and told him I
would not accept tho pay. I had
worked for nothing and could contin
ue to do so. If the State was too poor
to pay me a respectable salary, that I
would not degrade myself to receive
alms. I have never broached the sub
ject of salaries since, and have had no
communication with the Bn'ard on that
subject since : neither do I Intend to.
I discovered (as well as others) as ear
ly as March, that the Board were ini
mical tome.
Mr. Parraele, my successor, hasjust
been superseded in Iowa, and all his
assistants, without exception, dis
charged. Where he could not stay
long enough to make one bi-annual re
port to the Legislature, I stayed long
enough to make five. Other facts will
bo given in due time.

doubt, I think, respond as kindly as

Bobt. W. Furnas,
Pres't State Horticultural Society.
Last week Mrs. Van Pelt, G. W. C.T.
of tho T. O. G. T., of the state, wont
down to Nomaha County, and within
a week rode over 200 miles, visited
three district and four subordinate
lodges, three public meetings and one
public reception, the reception took
place at Brownville last Friday night,
and was tendered Mrs. Van Pelt by
the Sons of Temperance of tho place.
This is a most unusual thing. In fact
wo may say It is without a precedent,
whore tbe members of one order ten
der honors to the repreeentativeofan
other order, who, however. Is work
ing for the same grand object, The
reception included a line supper and
a general good time. Tho S. of T. are
very strong in Brownville, the only
place, in fact, that they have any
strength In theatate, and the compli
ment to our tovrnswomnn is thprnfnra
the more appreciable. Xmeoth Olode. I
Under the heading, "Bagging the
Game," the Kenesaw Times of last
week contains a fierce article. The
Professor is given to extravagant
flights of metaphor. In his fancy ho
is the hunter and the newspapers of
the stato are the Birds, he writes an
item and If they pay the least atten
tion to it they are peppered with shot
The last time lie was out, the Bown
viLLe Advertiser, the Lincoln Jour
nal and the Kearney Press all came
fluttering to tbe ground only throe
birds and his bag was full. We can
understand now why tho professor has
been so unsuccessful in his hunt for
office 7iis bag is too small. Gere of
tbo Journal and Fairbrother of the
Advertiser are two dignified rooster
and the idea of Prof. Williams shoot
ing their feathers oil off, makes us
laugh until the tears come into our
eyes. Kearney Press.
The question we understand Is, has
the stato land commissioners a right
to appoint Prof. Bacon's successor as
superintendent of the blind asylum?
We think not, and believe the consti
tution provides that "all officers of the
State not otherwiee provided for shall
be appointed by the governor." If
this is so, have not the board gone
beyond their authority in appointing
tho professor's successor? Nebraska

A Bank Goes Into Liquidation.
San Francisco, Aug. 25. The Mer
chants' Exohange bank announces

plethora of idle capital, stagnation in
meroantile and stock circles, and de
creased business under ruinous com
petition. The bank is perfectly sol
vent and will pay dollar for dollar.
Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, of New
York, offers three premiums orto of.
$100 in gold, ono of $75, and one of $50
for the best newspaper article of
about 2,000 words, upon some feature
of the labor question, considered in
Llta widest scope. .
The latest Item of news from Bloom
ington is that a democratic paper is
about to be started there by J. D. Cal

part of theprinting material is already
