The entire Dusiness management of the Grand Island Independent will hereafter fall on Mrs. Mobley, Mr. M. having received a postal agency. The News, of Omaha, bravely de fends its Lincoln Correspondent for his report of the McBride affair and says the boy is lightning on letter. Representative Stone, of Cas3, has tumbled into notoriety as the hu morous man of the House. His essay on tumbling-rods did the business. E.

Senator Saunders votes against the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department, and the commit tee are " four and " with one to hear from. Old Fitzhugh. the "bigger man than old Grant," is bound ta be doorkeeper of something, and now presides over the exits and entrances of the Texas Senate.

Democrat, Crete, and The Opposition, of Wilber, have been merged into one under W. T.

By invitation of Dr. Miller Mr Finch followed in favor of prohibition. The general impression was that the Doctor had the best of the argument, but Finch had the house. If, as stated in Lincoln, the Univer slty employs thirteen professors and has only an average of 100 students it is time the whole business was lopped off. If the Chancellor is of no use chance the thing without him a year or two, and let's see how it works. CnuRcn Howe s said to have the knack of leading more parties than any other man in Neb. ne has cer tainly become a Republican leader in the Senate, he heads the Grange out side, and will be the prohibitionist's champion when their bill comes up, it Is said. Without meaning our Plattsraoutk contem pantries pnrticulai 1 y, we made some allusions to scrub newspapers a week or two ago. They both took it up, however, and while- wo are sorry we hurt their feelings o badly, we nre rather pleased that they acknowledge j tlieir true posftiei so readily. Some 6orernosed baby Republican (so called) has run over to the Watch man to tattle again, and is writing MacD's Editorials as usual. Never you mind, Mr. Sore-toes, well attend to the party in the county and your case too. It is just such Repub licanism aa yours, that needs scalding and you'll get it. We are not afraid of our standing with honest Republicans anywhere in this county and have no apology to offer to coward . Any honest Republican who differs with us in opinion will always receive courteous treatment in the paper or can call personally at this office. We are always ready to receive advice, en couragement, reproof, if we need it, in a manly way. For the coward and sneak who runs to an opposition paper to vent the spite he date not openly avow, we Lave only contempt and a contempt that is joined in by the hon tst men of the party in the county, aa was proven last fall. Do any of our Plattsmouth politicians want to try that experiment over again? If so we are ready. Stanley is to start on another Af rican exploration. The revision of the laws is said to be proceeding rapidly and satisfactor ily. We are asked abeut a bill to re duce interest, to repeal the 40 per cent, clause, &c The Revision Commmit tee have reported amendments on moBt of these subjects, and generally in the line of reform asked for by the people. We should like to know how the correspondent of the Omaha Republic an kaows the State Reform School will be located iu Omaha, if left to the Land Commissioners Board? If he knows that to be a fact, we respect fully suggest that the Legislature leave ine matter in ine nanas or a board whose views are not known be forehand.

We didn't know it; but the first week we were down there before this warm spell and while we slept in room No. 39, north side, we would have liked to make it hot for some one sev eral nights. The article from the Plattsmouth Herald, which we publish elsewhere in these columns, regarding the puliica tion of commissioners' proceedings, and so forth, is commended to the care ful readinsr and candid consideration of our Republican board of County Commissioners. Pilot. Bad as our opposition papers seemed to think our little article on printing, It seems to have found friends outside, as witness the above. Guess it was not so bad after all. The Senate Committee of Finance, of which Mr. Tef t is a member, and who have under consideration the charges against the State Treasurer, state that tbey will hold open meet ings hereafter, and anyone who knows of matters of which the Committee ought to be advised can attend. The same is a very laudable proceeding No secret business in public affairs, not even in temperance lodges. The joint committee, appointed to examine the work of the commission to revise the statutes, consists of Sen ators Brown, of Lancaster, Marshall, VanWyck, Jennett, Howe, Brown, of Douglas and Wigton ; Ley, Birkhauser, Norval, and Representatives Kennedy, of Douglas, Scott, Mitchell, Kennedy, of Pawnee, Babcock, Bennett, Sissons, Sparks, True, Windham. Batty, Pol lock, Dodge, Smith and French. To which eight from the House and five from the Senate have since been added. Our Luella correspondent thinks we may get tired of their "news items." Never! Keep sending 'em. We want all the correspondents of this kind, we can get. All we ask is, don't get us into personal quarrels on personal mat ters in your respective neighborhoods. Write us good, lively general news, and it will always be gladly published. In fact, the Herald has the best set( of correspondents we have ever had and we feel more hopeful, more bouy and, mre satisfied with our business and the Herald than we have ever been since we lived in uass County, in consequence. The following, from a contemporary, commends itself to the thinking farmer: The present low prices for produce are extremely unsatisfactory and un remunerative to the farming classes, yet it isn't worth while grumbling about it. The great natural laws of supply and demand fix market values, and individual wishes are of little ac count in this busy world. Let every producer see if he caunot lessen the cost of production, so as to leave a margin for profit, even at low prices. It is also surprising how much may be accomplished in the way of economy and retrenchment when one is forced to the attempt. P. Farmer. Our Weeping Water correspondents will begin to realize the responsibili ties of an Editor in often being placed between two fires. Every village has its clans, its two prominent parties, the go-aheads and the pull-backs, and we have often to steer between Scylla and Chary bdis in editing a paper. Be careful, ladies, keep your temper, make no statements you cannot substantiate and write us all the general news you car. We think Lucile has been a first rate Correspondent in the main, not taking her side in this matUr, but be cause she has been constant and faith ful through good report and bad report persevering in keeping her town before the public until she has compelled no tice from other quarters ; you ought all to give her credit for that. Yeu will have a pretty good W. W. paper pretty soon In one column of the HfcUALD, any way, and that's right. Lincoln Matters. The McBride investigation is assum ing serious importance. At first the charge of merely scattering the funds around among the different banks, so long as the State was secured by his bondsrren, was not worth the time wasted in investigation, except to point out the fact, and suggest iu fu ture legislation a remedy. Moreover, every treasurer, from Kountze, in territorial days, to Sweet and Koenig, have adopted the same plan, that is, deposited the surplus funds of the State in some bank or banks, to be checked oat as needed; and it is a fact that the State has nev er lost a dollar yet by such deposits, the banks, or the bondsmen always making any discrepancy or loss good. It is impossible and impracticable to snppose that any set of persons would go on any man's bond for so large an amount unless they had an oversight and control of the funds, or knew where they were placed and how they were used. Call ia and deposit the State funds in a vault in the Treasury department at Lincoln, subject only to the handling and supervision of the Treasurer, and no responsible parties would ever remain on his bond an hour. It does not take a silly, useless investigation to bring out these facts, aud every business man in the State knew as well, before the Legislature met as now. that these funds were dis tributed in this way, and used in this way, and it has been the custom of ev ery preceding Treasurer. By a decision of the Supreme Court, lately rendered, the mere deposit of funds in a bank, or with a corporation or individual lias been declared illegal and a crime, both on the part of the depositor and those receiving the de posit. We do not think the statute in tended this at all, but it is the law and should be obeyed. It strikes every county treasurer aud school district treasurer in the State, and is no joke, even for Democrats, as there are a larger proportion of Democratic treas urers in the State than any other class of officers. It may reach the court itself, as they have all been stockhold ers in or connected with banks who have received their deposits hereto fore. This matter is too general, if this decision is correct, to admit of any partisan nonsense about it, aud the law should be changed at once, and a useless investigation to satisfy morbid curiosity alone stopped, in all cases where no conversion of public funds for private gain, nor a loss to the State or county can be clearly shown. The further matter of receiving in terest on these deposits, just now com ing up, in still more serious. The law is clear oa that point; and again we would point out the utter silliness, the constant tendency to corruption in duccd and fostered by the present sys tem. Again we state that every one knows and has known that those funds were not handled for fuu, nor without recompense. They also know that the Salary of a Treasurer of State is utter ly inadequate for his support and en tirely out of all proportion (in meager ness) to the vast responsibility demand ed of him. There is no use to shut our eyes childishly to the fact .that it ha3 been expected and believed by most people that he would derive some benefit from the use of the funds to compensate for the criminal smallness of his Salery. If any one of us had a boy ten years old that should attempt so silly and transparent a deceit as this, day after lay and year after year,' on any boy matter of business, we would spank him soundly and send him to bed with out his supper; yet we men(?) goon year after year in a childish attempt to control inevitable facts by foolish legislation and shut our eyes to glar ing discrepancies. We make no comments on the pres ent case as it is under consideration; our remarks are general against the plan and principle of the present and past management of state and county funds. If we are ashamed to pay our treas urers a deeent salary commensurate with the importance and responsibility of the situation, let them give a good bond, and receive no salavy. Designate the maximum amount ever to be kept on hand, and the places and manner of deposit, and the rate of interest they may receive. Let that be their pay. open and above board, for handling public funds of any kind; or else state banks of deposit who shall file state ment with Governor and Judges of responsibility, assuming the safety of the funds, receiving and paying'out the same on the order of the Treasurer they paying the State a 6mall rate of interest for the use of funds, with all checks and safeguards against not pay ing legitimate orders or claims when there is money in the treasury this making the treasurer's duties merely clerical aad receiving a salary accord ingly. Lincoln, January 29, 1879. Everything is on the investigate here as usual during the term of Leg islature. The University, the Peniten tiary, the State finances are to be over hauled. The end is past finding out. Meanwhile bills roll iu and are turn ed over to the " High Joints" to revise and then re-revised and screwed up by tho Senate or House. PROHIBITION of course occupies much attention. There is a stroag lobby here on both sides, Dr. Miller's lecture added fuel to the flame that burned high enough be fore. All sorts of opinions are express ed, one of the most common of which is that the good and pious Doctor came here in the interests of the Democrat ic party, adding heat to the prohibition ist's fervour in order to induce a Re publican Legislature to pass the prohi bition law, and thus lose the foreign vote of the State, making a Democrat ic ascendency more easy hereafter. Be that as it may, there is a good deal of sense in his education aid reg- ulatio arguments. "Prohibition does not prohibit" says the Doctor, "Regu lation dees not regulate" answers Mr. Finch. With the same propriety we may shout Christianity does not Christian ize. There is sot much proof to show that any real regulation hos ever been attempted; the present laws being left to the caprice or will of the offi cials, and not mandatory. At all events the era of talk on this matter is past. All the Arguments are about in and it remains for the Legislater to simply decide which if the most practical attempt at a cure of a great evil and vote accordingly. A strong State high license law, not optional with officials nor depending on the kind of vote they receive would be practical regulation. Prohibition can hardly hope to be suc cessful in the larger cities at present. The Capitol appropriation bill has been finally recommended by the com mittee to pass, after reducing the tax from one mill to three-fourths of a mill. A bill has been approved by the Senate to place 810,000 at the disposal of the Governor so that all available means may be used in the unorganized and thinly settled counties to bring criminals to justice. A tramp bin is in order, making it a misdemeanor to beg for food and clothing. Two bills have become laws, having been signed by the Governor, one pro viding for salaries of members and employes of the Legislature, and the other for incidental expenses. A bill has been introduced provid ing that when the funds of the Treas ury shall exceed one hundred thousand dollars, the same, not being needed for current expenses, shall be invested in United States lour per cent bonds and be deposited in some safe place desig nated by the Governor, Auditor and Treasurer.

Ed. Herald: Warm weather is the order of the day almost too warm for the inhabitants of this vicinity to car ry on their occupations. Trading is dull. Sanford Pottenger ant Mr. Dowler have traded some in hogs, and Squire Zink is still trading in fire-arms. One would suppose that he intended to build a fort and fortify the burg. He did not get a quail, but got a rabbit, and it got a way, and now the Squire thinks "rabbit is dry meat, anyway." Col. McCarty is still traveling the roads and making tho rough places smooth, for which we return him our sincere thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Hay ward, of this place have been visiting friends in Lincoln. Mr. nackney aud II. W. Zink. of Greenwood, called at Luella Saturday. Martin Cain has gone to Jackson Co.. Mo., to pick him out a home in the Holy Land.

Herald. A gentleman of the sleek and traveling persuasion visited our town last week with a something he called a " Diorama." He made an exhibition of it in our hall.

Editor Herald: Is it to the in terest of the citizens of Nebraska to demand an appropriation for the pur pose of inducing increased immigra tion to our State? I certainly think it is not to the interest of those who are residents of the State now to add this additional burden of taxation. We are, as a mather of course, taxed to support our State and county insti tutions. This tax we cheerfully pay; but a tax for the purpose we have Btated will not be paid with cheerful ness. Governor Nance has recommrnded such an appropriation. Now, the mo tives of Gov. Nance may be excellent, but he certainly must be aware that Nebraska is not so remote that men must have extra inducements held out to them ere they will settle within our borders. Is it possible that our State, which is situated in the midst of the conti nent aad already having the reputa tion of being the richest, agriculturally, in the Union, needs an advertisement of that sort? An appropriation for the purpose of inducing immigration to our State would be an act of injustice to our old settlers who came here at an early day, and have borne the brunt of the battle. Deprived of schools, remote from rail roads, compelled to endure privations of which we know but little in our day. the old residents iuour State mer it consideration.' Better, we say, if we are going into the charity business, to appropriate something to those who are residents cf the State and lost all their savings by the great prairie fires that swept over some of the fairest por tions of our beautiful country. We trust that our Legislature, in it" wisdom, will carefully consider the wants of the whole people, and only appropriations be made that will re dound to the benefit of a majority. Twenty-five years of advertising, by the buildiggof cities, railroads, and the exportation of hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain, ought to be suffi cient advertisement for any State. We wonld not Bay a word to deter any man from coming to our State. But with the firm conviction that our beautiful State will receive its share of immigration from the over-peopled districts of the East, without any ex traordinary measures being taken. We repeat that we believe the State of Nebiaska wants no appropriation for the purpose set forth iu our Governor's message. Respectfully, E. R. T. Weeping Water Notes. An article appearing in last week's issue over the signature' of Frances, charges mo with placing our town in a bad light before the readers of the Herald. Now since this article fails to mention a single instance in which I have made a false statement with re gard to any of our institutions, I infer that Frances takes the position that to be loyal to Weeping Water I should conceal disagreeable facts aud repre sent everything as in a prospeiousand thrivi ng condition. I do not believe it is well for any community to be rep resented in a more prosperous condi tion than is warranted by the facts in the case. I have endeavoured to rep resent things just as they are, I have not tried to make the readers of the Herald think that our schools are the best in the country, or that the Con gregational Church is supporting a pastor at SlOO a year and that the services in this church always begin exactly on time, or that the . Red Rib bon club is working a wonderful re formation in Weeping Water and is the most entertaining society that I ever attended. I mention the schools, the Congregational church and the Hed Ribbon Club, because these were especially referred to by Frances as suffering frem my "insinuations." Yet on the school question Frances says she agrees with me and refers to their condition In terms less compli mentary than mine, for whereas J said our schools were not what they ought to be 6he says " the directors have been compelled to barely keep up the semblance of a school." Why does Frances defy any one to tell from my articles whether there is blame resting with the district, with the school-board or the teachers ? For when I mentioned that our schools were not all that they should be, I dis tinctly stated, that this was due main ly to tho apathy of the community, on the school qaestion. aud gave at length my reasons for thinking so. I wish to say here that since I first referred to jut Schools in these articles, they have Ml IV improved considerably. As near as I can judge we have excelleat teachers, now, who are doing their best under existing difficulties. Frances asks me to suggest some thing tangible for the district to work upon, at the next annual meeting. I would suggest: 1st. That all voters turn out to the meeting, determined not to let M one or two leading citizens" foil plans for placing the schools in abetter condi tion, which Frances assures us was done at the last annual meeting. 2d. That the teachers bo paid rea sonable wages. 3d. -That more than two teachers be employed . 4th. That preparations be made for keeping the school-room comfortable in cold weather. 5th. That good black-boards be provided. 6th. That regulations be adopted whereby the teachers may bo enabled to secure a more regular and punctual attendance. I believe I have mentioned nearly all of these suggestions in former articles, either directly or indirectlv, although Frances sees fit to make the statement that I have never suggested any reme dy for the correction of existing evils. I doubt if Frances improved the ideas I have given to the readers of the Herald, when she gave the fol lowing quotation from Mr. Ross: "all the way from here to Boston, there is not a community that combines so much intelligence, enterpiise, refine ment and good order a3 the town of Weeping Water. Has Mr. Ross so thorough a knowledge of all the towns between hero Mid tho hub as to justify so broad an assertion? Does this not sound as if Mr. Ross were spreading on the soft soap rather thick, ns it were? This middle aged correspondent, Fran ces, seems to have a very exalted opin ion of Mr. Ross' capacity for judging. (Mr. R. is a middle aged, single gen tleman.) " W'at shall the 'arvest be?" Lucile. USEFUL AKD BEAUTIFUL, The Xebratktt Fartrwr, published at Lincoln, Neb., starts out upon it third volume with full vigor.
