. A call will bo found In this isBue
for the Republicau central committee
of .this judicial distriot to meet at Nob
raska City Sept. 30. In bohalf of tho
people of Brownville we request the
committee to appoint this city aa tho
place, this year, for holding the Dis
trict Convention. Although Brown
vllle, nor Plattairouth, are as "cent
ral" as Nebraska City or Lincoln, yet
they aro prominent In the district,
and should ooco9iouaUy be conceded
the convention.. The plan of chang
ing from one place to another would
give great satisfaction and doubtless
tend toward harmony and strength
ening the party In the different. coun
ties. A better thing could not be
dono in thia direction than the adop
tion of a rule giving the convention
to tho counties alternately let it go
around ; say this year at Brownville,
nextycar at Plattsmouth.theu at Neb
raska City, and soon. Such a rule
would obviate "squabbles" for the
convention, and the charge of ignor
ing any point. So far as the meeting
of the central committee is concerned,
It does not matter at all, and wo would
generally favor Nebraska City as the
place. We respectfully ask the com
mittee that meets on the 3rd prox. to
oonBlder theso suggestions.

Wo think that there Is possibly a
time coming when the county seat
ought to be and will be removed to
some point In the Interior. But that
timo will not be until the people can
be satisfied where tho best placa will
be; and of this they cannot know un
til the railroad system of the county
is more developed than it is at pres
ent. Tho county seat question is one
deserving deliberate action, and such
we doubt not the present inoiplentef
fort will receive at the hands of sensi
ble voters of the county. They will
readily distinguish between what
ought to be done and what tho fana
tice of Sheridan want them to do.
We know that tho people generally
do hot think this an auspicious time
to remove the county seat, that they
.want to wait to see where the east
and west road is going through the
county. They don't want to vote on
uncertainties, and place tho county
eeat on wheels. Sheridan may bg the
place they want it and it may not be;
it will take a few more years to deter
mine the matter. But a few residents
of Sheridan, that always had tbo re
moval question badly on the brain,
till they are monomanlaos on the sub-
jeot, thrust this question on the peo
ple in season and out of season, and
demand removal at once. If theso
gentlemen would but consider the
fact If they could consider it that
every defeat Shorldan suffers weak
ens Its prospeots, for ever getting the
county seat, they would bettor con
sider the ohances of viotorj' before
they open the fight; but their op
pressive anxiety is all they are oapa
blo ot manifesting. . We adviso the
cool heads of Sheridan gratuitously
of ooureo to stop their petitlouand
wait a fow years till tho thing "gets
ripe," and the people can vote intelli
gently on the question.

Mmoan effort Is being made, and with

Brownvllle. The trade of this section
is what the St. Louis road is working

agers of this road look with consider
able favor upon the project. That
the road can be built very oheaply
has already been sufficiently demon
stratedthe route nearly the entire
distance being over level ground. The
advantages of this over any other yet
projected is obvious; It would afford
our people direct competition with
lines already established an advant

have no doubt but that Brownvllle
would contribute liberally to the en

benefit to that place; second only If
not equal to that to be derived from

the road, is being consulted In regard
to the the matter and we hope ere

We are to havo a livery stable,
just west of Drain's store, soon as the

We notice that some of the Nem
aha City folks have beoome ashamed
of their sunflowers and other big
weeds, and aro cutting them down.
Levi Johnson, Mr. Colerlok and
Georgo Sutton, set tho example. Now
let others slash down the weeds about
their premises, and this disturbing
question will be In a manner Battled.
Farmers 6eem to be rushing their
wheat to market, at prices, 65o. for

Roosters about Nemaha are very
unfortunate. Some half dozen that
have had their beads out off "for
breakfast" couldn't die, and havo
startod out In tho, show business to
make fortunes for their ownors.
The pooplo down here are opposed
to oalling an election at this timo for
removing the county seat from
Brownville. We think the question
will not spoil to wait until our rail
road facilities toward tho contorof the
county are more fully developed.
MORE ABOUT THAT BRIDGE.
We are entitled to a bridge on tho
line between towns 4 and 5 for the
following reasons :
First, Tho petitions presented con
tained the names of more than 300 tax
payers, from whose property alone
taxes enough are collected to build
tho bridge,
Second, We have It from the best
authority that about $894 were loft in
the general fund after paying all do
mauds against the county for last
year. ,The Commissioners this year
levied 10 mills for general purposes.
Wo are-reliably Informed that Beven
mills is amply Bufflolent to run tho
county for a year ; that It will poy oil
official salaries, meet the demand up
on the poof fund, pay all court expen
ses, and In faot everything exoept
tho outlay for bridgeB ; clearly leav
ing three mills of the general fund
whioh can b9 used for bridge build
ing. Moreover the Commissioners levied
three mills for a bridge fund In addi
tion to the ten mills general fund.
Tho three mill bridge tax is calcula
ted to raise $5,440.00, add to It the 3
mills from the-general fund whioh
can be used for bridges and the $894
left over and wo have $11,786 availa
ble ! whioh will not only pay for
Hallam's hridge, but would build two
more bridges over tho Nemaha this
year.
Theroforo we consider it proved
that we are entitled to the bridge on
tho line between towns 4 and 5.

tom to Sheridan. ThatSherldan will
be made a point, and have a station
at the most convenient and nearest
point. This much we are authorised
to state officially and positively, but
further wo are not at liberty to make
known the results of our visit. We
had some confidential conversation
with Mr. Touzalin which led us to
think we know when and how wo
can secure a road ot once with all the
connections and facilities we need and
ask, but at present we are not at liber
ty to make It public.
The editor of the Post Is "author
ized to state" that tho road will "go
south to Nemaba and then up the Ne
maha bottom to Sheridan ;" that this
is positiveandofiloial. Now, citlzons
of Nemaha county be not deceived.
We say positively that we have di
rect information from Manager Touz
alin that it -Is not a fixed faot that the
road will run to Sheridan, and that
ha never said it would.
In view of tho faot that manager,
Eor superintendent, aor even the
president of theB. & M. has tho pow
er to establish, single hondod, impor
tant linen of road; and the further
faot that thia Is done, after mature de
liberation, by the company directors ;
and the further faot that tho company
has not yet determined tho direction
their road will take from Nemaha, Is,
sor should bo sumcient eviuonce to
any reasonable man that Mr. Touza
lin did not say tho lino was establish
ed toward Sheridan or that any lino
had yet been eatahllnned and adopted
a3 a fixed faot, as the Sheridan oom
mittee would have tho voters of this
county believe.
Now tho truth Is tho most feasible,
favorite, straight route, is the one sur
veyed last winter four or five miles
south of Sheridan. The relocaters of
that burg know this railroad matters
are moving. They must get thecoun
ty seat now, or never it la strict
ly aground hog case and if by hook or
crook they should suceeed well, In
the language of the immortal Wesley,
"County seals Gometimea draw rail
roads." This is the wholo matter in
a nut shell. Now, wo candidly bo
lleve iho voters of the county, not be
ing ready to relocate the oounty seat,
because they will not know where
they want it until this railroad ques
tion is settled, should refuse to sign
tho petition for relocation,' thereby
putting a quietus upon tho agitation
for tho present.

The July Report from the De
partment of Agrioulture, on the con
dition and acreage of the crops, shows
the area planted in corn to be 3 per
cent, luorease over that of last year,
whioh Is made up principally In the
West. Nebraska has tho greatest In
orease, 118, and Kaneas next, 113, as
compared with last year. Some of the
Southern States, especially North
Carolina, Arkaneas, Tonneesee aud
Mississippi show an Jcorease.
Theaverago condition of the orops
for the whole country was 93 ;.net so
high aa last year by two per oont.
New England States, low condition";
Middle States, fair; South Atlantlo
Stateo, except N. C, low condition,
occasioned by drought. Texas has
suffered most from this cause, the
condition of the crop being only 63.
West of the Mississippi river the av-
orago condition Is greatest; being 113
In Missouri against 981ost year; Iowa
107 against 93; of Kansas and Ne
braska, figures not given, the report
simply saying : "Kansas and Ne
braska both show vary high condi
tion." The condition of winter wheat In
whole country averaged 91 against 101
same timo last year. South Atlentto
Stotes, 95 ; Maryland, Carollnas and
Georgia full average, but Virginia, a
wheat State, falls 15 per cent, below,
on account of winter killing and
drought. The Gulf States show the
greatest falling off; Florida and
Louisiana raise no wheat worth men
tion. Texas falls low, 6Q against 83
last year. Middle States averuge 86
scourged with drought, mildew,
storms and Hessian fly. Average
west of Mississippi 89, but August re
port will probably show better than
this. Averago In Pacific States, 108.
Oregon Is good, showing 112, winter
wheat.
Average condition of spring wheat,
91 against 10G last year, In wholo
country. Thus It will be observed,
that whilo we have monster crops in
Nebraska, the average of corn, winter
and spring wheat, throughout tbe
Nation falls considerable below last
year, aocording to July roporto.
Neb. City Sun: Tho county of
Nemaha is to be stirred to its depths
this fall on tbe county seat question.
The village of Sheridan, located In
the Interior, Is ambitious for the re
moval of tho county building from
Brownvillo, and are making them
selves warm on tho subject. Tho
Sun predicts there will bo no remov
al. A large majority of the voters of
Nomaha aro content to lot "well
enough alone," uud will not make a
large county debt to please tbe
whims of a noisy squad of village pol
iticians In Shorldan.
