Mr. Swxy, of Webster.
P. A. Swoozy, of Bluo Hill, cnndl
dato for tho speakership, was in Lin

to Lincoln since election. Ho took
tho opportunity to Interview a number
of local politically
Mr. Sweeny lias lived at Bluo Hill
for twenty-ono years and Is qtilto well
known in his district, having tnkou mi
active part in politics as a republican
How sco nty judge for two years, de
feating MuKoighan once for tho place
and being defeated once by MuKoighan
As tho light looks now to Mr
Sweezy's friends, tho leaders will have
a hard tlmo lauding tho plum ami in
tho event of such an Incident, some
other candidate will stand mi excel
out show of wlnning.-Stato Journal
Tho special edition or the Scientific
Ameiican, devote I to transportation
on laud and sea, cannot fall to attiact
widespread interest, both becau.se of
tho vert handsome iniinnei- in wnh h
it is gotten up and on account of the
voluminous amount of Information
that It contains It Is safe to say that
anyone that reads it carefully tluoiigh
will llud himself thoroughly posted
both as to th' magnitude and high
quality of our railroads and shipping.
I lie Scientific American has its own
characteristic way of presenting what
some people might call dry statistical
matter in an Interesting form, and the
present number is no exception to the
rule Hoth artist, mid editor have

and wo believe the number will inet

The State SheritlV association held
a meeting at the Lindell lioiol, Liu
coin, Monday, for tho purpose of e
lectingollleers for tho ensuing year
and deciding upon impoitant ques

discussion was (he four-year term of

tho twouty-ono iiioiuho's in itttont'

attorney of Douglas county and a'

from a legal standpoint, presenting it
as 11 will have to bo -howu totho mem
bers of the hgishituie. Adiaftofa
bill was shown which scorned to meet
all leqiiiienient. Ileretofoio when
t he quest ion has come before the legis

having the questions of fees and other
demands of the county olllcers coupled
w th it to luirrass the members inter
ested in pushing the measure This
year the proposition will bo submitted
alono without any side issues to ham
per its champions The sentiment
among county olllcers generally seems
to favor the four year tei m, both as a
great saving in costs of elections and
as a reward that is duo the olllclals

"Peace on eat Hi, good will towards
men " Wo hear that message every
Christmas, says Walt Mason in State
Journal; It Is woven into the fabric of
immortal poetry; it is sung by choirs;
it illumines sacred pictures; mid then,
when Christmas is over, wo forgot all
about it, and go around hunting trou
blous wo always have Tlioro should
bo peaco on earth; it would bo easily
accomplished, if pooplo would always
respect tho rights of others; if they
woro as willing to forglvo ns thoy aro
to tako oirousa; if they would keop
their children penned up in tho sum
mer, mid their cows iu the winter; if
thoy would quit overreaching and mis
representing and lying. Tlioro should
bo good will towards men; good will in
the mind of each or us Tor other follow
And wh shouldn't there bo such good
