The new town of Carson, located in
Nemaha county, and named after John
L. Carson, the banker of Brownvillo,
has boon platted and lots put on tho
market. If wo are not mistaken Ne

of now towns, and all of thorn to be

Newt.
Tho prospective town is at tho cross
ing of tho M. P. and It. V. railroads.
A little Ohio girl, making a contri
bution to the Gartleld monument fund,
addressed a quaint letter to "Mr. Com
mittee," in which she said: "I am a
little girl 7 years old, and I llvo live
miles from Iliram, our dear Prosinoul's
former home. Now, my undo Oscar,
living in Cloveland, said I could not
spell hippopotamus. Ho bet mo a dollar.
I won tho bet. It Is tho first dollar I
over earned, and I would like you to
ploaso accept this as a token of lovo to
our beloved President (larfleld."
A man named Georgo Traverse, at
Wavorly, Nebraska, made a desperate
assault on tho person of his wife a few
days ago, with a knife, indicting
several sovero wounds about her hoad,
arms and breast, and doubtless would
havo killed her there and ihon had not
hor screams brought immediate assist
ance. She will prabably recover. Be
fore the enraged man could bo disarm
ed, believing he had fatally stabbed his
wife, ho drew his knife across his own
neck, but did not quite touch tho spot.
Ho is now in jail at L'uicrthw
Ex-Senator Paddock is reported as
saying that ho wrote a letter to Presi
dent Arthur declining to be assistant
secretnry of tho treasury, and impart
ing the information to tho president
that Socrotary Folgor should bo permit
ted to solect his assistant from amongst
his acquaintances. Most men would
want until a position was tendered
them before declining. Pad. didn't
wait to put the president to that
trouble; and doubtless the president
is under a thousand obligations to him
for his advice. If tho ex-Sei.ator is
chuck full of auything it is a weak,
harmless sort of egotism.

Judge Horace Gray, Chiof Justice of
tho Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
has been nominated by tho president to
fill tho vacancy on tho V. S. Supreme
Bench occasioned by tho death of
Justice Nathan Clifford. He is tho
second Massachusetts Chiof Justice
that has been called to tho Supreme
Bench of tho United States. Tho
former was Judge Story. Judge Gray
is 55 years old, aristocratic and (1 feot
4 inches in height, and somewhat re
sembles Charles Sumner. In tho days
of Free Soilism he was ono of them,
and wan a delegate to tho first Free
Soil convention of Massachusetts.

Inter Octan: Secretary Blaine's re
marks upon tho inter-oceanic canal
seem to havo caused considerable com
motion among the European statesmen,
and it is not remarkable that tho jour
nals of Great Hritian and Europe
dissent most emphatically from the
position Mr. Blaine takes. Whon our
foreign policy was shaped by Mr. Ev
arts that gentleman allowo-.l nothing
to bo done that would injure tho inter
ests of his professional clients, and it
so happened that be was more thought
ful of the welfare of tho Panama Hail
road Company than of the dignity of
tho government. The contrast be
tween tho utterances of Mr. IUvarts
and Mr. Hlaino on the same subject is
therefore very striking, and the vigor
ous language used by tho latter com
mands the respect of our rivals over
tint water, while Hie vacillating and
conciliatory policy ol Mr. Evarts
merrly gave evidence of American
timjdity that did not exist. Tho Lon
don" Tiling roeogni7.es the strength of
Mr. Blaine's position, and, while it very
naturally objects to it, says, by way of
admission, that "Mr. lilaine's case,
however, is stronger in somo ways
than he wmturos to make it, as tho
time mut arrive when tho weak Cen
tral American countries will bo ab
sorbed bv tho lnited Statu", and tho
coast lino' will oxlond to tho full limits
that Blaine fancifully indicate."
Tho State Journal in an Horn on
woman suffrage, seriously advances
this curious Idoa:
It believes it is tho loundon duty of
overy voter in Nobraska to cast his
vote upon this question just an his wife,
if ho has one, instructs him to cast it.
If ho has no wifo let him consult his
mother, or his best sister, or his fa
vorite sweetheart, or his daughter.
Voting thus, wo shall have a full, fair
and conclusive decision of tho question
when tho bullous arc counted.
Our botter-lmlf Instructs us to voto
just aa wo please. That's right. We
Intended to do that whon wo asked for
instructions. We enquired of her If
she would voto if she had the right to.
Sho answorcd that she had never taken
any interest in the shffrngo questson ;
that she did not think she would rush
to the polls on every occasion, but that
occasionally there was n qucation or
principlu involved in tho result of elec
tions upon which sho would vote from
a sense of duty, if the privilege wero
accorded her. We think this lady's
ideas about voting are about tho same
as a great many others, in fact a ma
jority of women, who uro not "woman
rights" stalwarts. We do not know
what proportion of the women of Ne
braska "want to vote," and we do not
want to know, as tho condition of a
principle. Wo do know, howovor, some
estimable women who want tho right
to vote, and wo proposo to give it to
them. We also know many moro just
as good and Intelligent whose desires on
the subject wo do not know. Wo pro
pose to remove the obstructions in
their way to tho polls, and then leavo
thorn, precisely as thoir husbands are,
f reo to vote or not. Wo do not doubt
that many good women do not care
about the matter, and realty think they
would not voto if they could, but once
give them the privilege, and they would
doubtless vote, if not at evory olectlon,
surely when it should be greatly to
thoir interest to do so.

Condition of th
School.
State Normal
Tho year now closlinr has noon ono
of tho most prosperous in tho history
of tho institution. Tho catalogue
shows an attendance of '274' students,
all preparing to teach. Of these, forty
wero graduated Inst Commencement
Day, six in tho Higher and thirty-four
in the Elementary Course, representing
in all twonty counties in too state.
This is but little more than an avorago
of tho numbers graduated annually for
tho last five years, but in the meantimo
the school has risen to ujlilghor plane In
point of well-directed effort, and a
marked improvement is manifest in the
general culture, moral tone, and pro
fessional enthusiasm of all its students.
Tho principle of self-government has
been so fully developed on tho part of
tho students that to common observa
tion tho school appears to bo self-regulative.
A large majority of tho stu
dents have not been absent from chap
ol exercles nor missed a recitation
during the fall term, and this has been
truo of many of them for the whole
scholastic year. Of the whole number
of students in attendance this year, 1f7
are young ladies, and 117 young gentle
men. 2(10 of them are from Nobraska,
and 14 of them are from other states.
They represent .18 counties and 4 states.
Their average ago is a little over 20
years. The next term begins the 4th
of January, 1882.

The Journtd is right. "Judge Lynch

Lynch does make mistakes sometimes,
and cruelly puts to death innocent men.

There are somo newspapers and
somo nersonss severely criticising .
Judge Cox for permitting Guitoau to
talk so much, and so abusive. To have
restrained him otmof two things would
have to have been done to try him .
without Ids presence in court or had
him sit there week after week with a
gag in his mouth. Even had such a
course as either of thoso been accord
'ng to law and precedent, nnd been
adopted, there would doubtless Imve
been more general dissatisfaction than
thoro is with tho ono pursued. Tho
people now road tho proceedings, of tiie
trial (dosoly, and whatever may bo tho
result, they know more of tho assassin,
and are bettor prepared to form opin
ions to suit themselves, than if ho had
been gagged or kept ill jail. And his
demeanor, and eccentric way of con
ducting himself before the jury wijl
help tho jury to arrive at a truer esti
mate of his mental condition and a
verdict. His ravings insults, and dis
gusting manners from day to day, are
considered by the Judge, the attorneys,
and the witnesses, in connection with
the source from which tliov emanate
and do not permit their dignity and
good sense to be insulted by him.
When tho Judge shall have delivered
his charge to the jury, which we doubt
not will cover all legitimate explana
tions, tho little narrow mind of such
papers as tho Now York Tribune will
bo exposed to a clearer light.
