Wo havo porhaps not a reador in this
county who has not heard the charge
inndu upon Dr. Mcdrew, that ho had
charged for moro days in a year
than thero tiro days in that length of
time. Of courso such a chargo is ab
surd, yet thoro aro thoso who profess
to bellovo it and busy themsolves in re
tailing it. Tako your pencil and sum
up tho days charged for In tho above
ofllclal itemized account, ami that Ho
will bo nailed. Wo llnd the first bill
dating from Dec. 0, lili) and the last
one Jan. tl, isill, making just four yours
and one month, or forty-nine ino'nthfi,
ovfonrtttii hundrul ami liinili ihiys,
that Dr. .Mcflrew held tho olllco of
superintendent of schools. This em
braces ocry day, Sundays, holidays
and all. from Dec. 0, 1 SCO, to Jan. 0,
li7 1. Theio avo 52 Sundays in a vear:
in tour years there aro 20S; in four
years and one mouth there are 212.
Thero aro four holidays in a year,
making sixteen, in four years, The
Sundays and holidays added together
make 22H das, which we will subtract
from 141)0. tho total number of days
that Dr. McOrow held tho olllco, and
we have 12(12 days outside of Sundays
and holidays.
Now how many days ban Dr. Mc
flrow charged for? What do they foot
up? Just. i0 thmimml tmlJhrl)t-ti"o,
Xow take 1042, from the listw
and wo havo tion htiwtwl unit tm-ut;;
day, exclusive of Sundays and holi
da.s, that Dr. Mo. might have charged
for but did not.
Any man can demonstrate in ten
minutes thijt our statement is dub
slant hilly correct.
And now what becomes of the story
that Andy Skeen, (Docker's deputy
clerk!) and the mongrel organ are tel
ling, viz: that Mcdrcw charged for
Sundays and holidas. It is cry clear
thai that story is a lie and slander.
Figures will not lie, and they deinoii
slrato that Dr. Mc had 220 dins left,
exclusive of Sundays and holidays, that
he did not charge lor.
Dr. Mcdrcw was tho llrst regularly
elected superintendent of public in
struction of X( inaha county. 1'nder
his supervision nearly the entire coun
ty was distiicted into school districts,
and the new system of education then
inaugurated established. The work
uas not done when the districts were
made. In fact the perplexities and ar
duous duties of the olllce were but be
gun, then, fortlieie weio constant com
plaints to listen lo, troubles amongst
the districts to amicably adjust, dis
tricts to change, school house s'ues to
select amid tho clamor of contending
factions, school houses to build, etc.
Tho duties and responsibilities of tho
olllce in those early days of the super
intendent system of education were of
such importance as lo lequ'no the
whole time and attention of superin
tendent in morit of Urn counliiwof, the
Stale, and forlear thatsupc'rinleinlonl
might, through laziness or a false no
tion ol economy, neglect their duties.
Mule Mipcriuicuuciii .McKenie, in Ins
oilieiid icporl in 1S72, page 31, under
the heading of "Salary," refers to the
mattei as follows:
"The laborer is worlhy of his hire.
In counties that have moro than lllty
healthy, enterprising districts, ft n-'iifn-s
thv it'hoh lime of one man lo
properly perform tho work necessaiylo
be done, lo have elllclont, successful
common schools. Cities thateinjlov
lorty or lifty teachers in (heir schools,
think a superintendent indispensable,
and pay from Si.ftoo to fta.ooo salary,
without once thinking ol Hie expense.
Vet take a county superintendent that
has the ovei sight of double that num
ber of teachers in Nebraska, and i 1,000
is a frightful sum to pay.
Again tako a man ically fitted I'or
county superintendent and what can
he usually make at other business ? It
we tako u llrsl class man from his busi
ness wo must expect to pay him some
thing near what he can make 'at his
laeiness. It is the only way wo can
expictto gel "the right man in the right
pluto." If a man, truly litt.cd for
county superintendent does his duty
faithfully, ho earns all the law will al
low. Hon. Nrwton Hatenian says, "No
man more honestly earns his pay than
a quulilled and faithful county super
intendent of schools.''1
Tho State Superintendent's words
put an elfectual quietus upon another
hobby that Andy Skeen and the mon
grel organ lay much stress upon, viz:
that Dr. Mcdrow's charges were enor
mous, oven extortionate. It was the
judgment of the State Superintendent'
in 1S72 that a countv "with lift y enter
prising healthy districts" required the
whole time of the county .superintend
ent, nnd bis judgment and direction
governed llio countv superintendents in
llio.se days. Ho might not think so
now, tho present educational system
being long established has becomo sym
metrical and smooth running, entirely
freed from the perplexities unavoidable
in thocominoncumontand inauguration
of tho system.
Hut how many districts had the Ne
maha county superintendent to form
under tho law and then superintend.
Nemaha county has now seventy-six
districts, and sprout j't wo of them were
organized under thosupetiuleiideneynf
Dr. Mcdrow. That tlioy were made
"enterprising and healthy" I15 the
elllcicncy of Dr. Mcdrow, Nemaha
county s excellent schools now attest.
Tho price per day was fixed by law;
llrst at four dollars and afterward at
Ihreo dollars. Dr, Mcdrow took what
tho law allowed him ; alibis successors
have dono tho samo. And if even the
virtuous Andy Skeen or the mongrel
editor should ever got ofllco nobody
who knows them will doubt that I hoy
VOL. 2G, NO. 20.

Lwould take the last cont tho law would
allow, and put in every day ponsibio to
mnken big bill
Dr. Mcdrow had more to do, nnd did
lyoro elllcient work for tho schort's
than all the superintendents who have
followed him. The State superintend
ent required him to t'.uvotu ilia wholo
time and attention, to his olllcial duties,
the bifetnessof the olrice required it of
him; and thus uuderntnnding his duties
disuhni'gftd them faithfully and well.
Yot there were 220 days that ho did
not charge for, which he might havo
done conscientioiitdy, U'eaune at tlinefl
when not actually tnneling over tho
country in tho interorit of tha schools
established or being established, his
mind and attention were engrossed by
the business; and when at homo or
abroad h was constantly besioued by
thote who had grievances to lay before
him, or who wanted InMnioliohri, or In
formation in the law, and a thousand
whims and notioiiH to onlUtt his time
and attention,
And what was the terrible price that
Dr. Mcdrow clmrgcd for all the labor ho
performed In four years and one month
service? Header, you can add up for
yourself tho ?u ins as above set forth.
They amount to about $:t,;itK). How
much was thitlta year? About $S40. .
Ho was' paid in county warnints '
worth at that time about scventy
llvo cents on tho dollar. Figure that
up and you will have precisely what
the immaculate Andy Nkoon and tho
mongrel organ 111 e holding up before
the people as iinparallolod extrava
gance. At liist glance ;ft).3uo looka
like a big sum. Hut be not'decoi.vcd
bo roasonnlile, and remember that four
year's Is a long time lo serve in such
an office, and I hat after all, when cnl
011 luted by the month, and pay in coun
ty wlirraiila that Mcdiew really re
ceived only about .?ooa year. Not as
miieh as some of the teachers he was
superintending weie receiving as
salary. Dr. Medrew could have lilildo
more money teaching school, and much
more by his profession.
We have heard for years, those
Htories of Dr. Mcdrew's exhorbilant
charging, and that he was actually dis
honest. Now that he is the Ilepubji
djtn candidate for clerk we have inves
tiiratcd tho matter thoiooublv wit.h

President Arthur is iccuiving from
tlie Xow York Hun a steady and hearty
support. Concerning tho Piesidout's
Yorktown address, tho S'; says that
"like the immortal speech of Lincoln at
the dedication of (he doltysburg battle-Held,
it proceeded tho principal ora
tion of the day, and like Lincoln's
speech, its few words were llllcd with
a true spirit of democracy;" and it
adds:
"President Arthur's words and deeds
hince ho came to his present olllce hae
been few, but they do not accord at all
with the reputation given him by main
of his present adinirejs, that of being a
mere politician, skilled In nothing but
politic.1l manipulations. lie bus thin
far shown no lack of shrewdness in
dealing with the questions before him.
and what ho has said has been express
ed iu a broad and generous spirit. 1 1 is
administration uiuy besupported by all
parties, and remain memorable as mi
era of good feeling and prosperity."
The fifth article of tho Act of Union
between (Jre.it Britain and Ireland
reads; "Tho continuance and preser
vation of tho Established Church of
Kngland and Ireland shall bo deemed
an essential and fundamental part of
the union." A writer in the Now York
fiii'iuiii J'ost claims that when dhtd
stone, in 1800, abolished tho Establish
ed Church in Ireland he swept an "es
sential condition" of tho union out of
existence, and took the llrst step in tho
logic of "homo rulo" for Ireland.
Tho Citizens League, of Chicago, are
making it very unpleasant for saloon
keepers who sell liquor to minors. The
League employs ellieieut men to hunt

of thoae potty criminals were lined in
ono justico's court a few days ago.
