There is evidently eomo spite work in the matter an the Governor ordered an investigation into the charges made against Cornell lost winter , when liis deputy charged him wLh re ceiving a rake off from his ex aminers. S P , Mobley , editor and pub lisher of the Republican , at Grand Island , has leased the paper to N. and P.P. Fot'dra.

Wh.it . the pi-oplo want IH a man tlmt can lay aside his party prejudices when he becomes a pub lic servant , and treat ail men ahko. His duty is first to the public , then , should ho have any spare time , ho has a perfect right to give it to the party of his choice. When you go into the ollioo of Supt. J. J. Tooloy , it makes no ditlorunoo whether you are a republican , pop or democrat. LJo realizes that he was elected as a servant of the people , and not as a servant of the pop party.

The committee appointed by the senate-last winter to investigate the ofliui.il records of the hlato oflicers , are bringing forth some very dam aging evidence against the leader * > f the pop | iarty in the locount bust- iK'fs on Hie cotiHiitutional amond- monlH , by the pop legislature two years ago. In the cvidonco scoured , Gov. Holuomb's n a in u is mixed up with the ail air in ,1 manner thai induced ll'o governor to publish an open letter , denouncing the charges in strong terms , and asking the privilege of going before the committee - mitteo to refute sonic of llio evi dence secured against him. In re ply , the oo mm it too in Tuesday's Journal bus an open teller , charpin , . ! him with refusing to appear before them previously , and extending an invitation for him yet to appoar.and give evidence relative to the recount and his house rent. This is llio committee that Governor Poynter vetoed the bill , making an appropri it ioi f i tin ir s il iry. Our leloiiium from Mr. Moikiejolm says ono descried from the First Nebraska regiment. Every one who hears it says in a sad and pity ing tone , "One deserter ! Oh dear what a pity1 ! , Yes it is a pity. It is worse for him than death. Hut let us not censure him , but rather praise the thousand bravo men who stood to the colors through the long and exhausting march , with heavy load and bleeding feet , who toiled on with burning thirst under a burn ing sun , hotter by far than over was knrwn hero , who rallied under the Hag when bullets wire hissing everywhere nnd charged right on up to the verv trenches belching forth fire and death. Lot us not atop to censure the ono poor , heart- hick , footsore , weary boy whoso soul sink beneath the almost t n- endurable burden , but rther praise as wo shoula the inspired soldiers who bruved all , endured all , suff ered all. Ono deserter ! Who knows the dread , the fear , the shame ho feelh ! Who knows the harhh command and the insuperable task set , that drove to this dospor.ito deed ? "Ono deserted ! What a pity ! " Tbe heart , touched with sympathy and not with hate , feels instinctively the suffering that led up to tin- crime and thu sorrow that followid it and- forbears oven to ask in * u'tmc.

Remember this : Vo yjrj iiovjr .ru 1 mhoj obeys boys wore tried , you were never tempted nstheso boys were tempted , else there might bo another deserter now. All honor to the bravo boys who stood the fiery test and never flinched. It takes m in hood and nerve nnd patriotism not to desert sometimes. York Times. There is an element in the pop p rty that is radically opposed to the deception practiced by the lead * era of the party , and they are not slow in boldly assorting their views , and making personal charges against the persons who have proved re creant to their trust. It w.is bc- IVIUHIof tin- condition of affairs ihat smi' Ican-il rri-uliH , and every precaution was luken to Keep down any effoil at public expuburoof their differences. Gov Ilolcomb and Editor Vincent were both present , and used their influence to prevent on explosion. Thev strongly conn noted harmony and united action , which doubtlesB had much to do in preventing an outward domonstra * tion of dissatisfaction. The closing proceedings showed plainly that there was n strong undercurrent that had been kept in the back ground all day , and that the sword ot revenge , temporarily sheathed , would not rest in peace until it had reveled in the gore of its enemies. As will bo seen by referring to reso lutions adoptedwhich ar published with the proceedings in this paper , the convention started out with resolutions denouncing the UHO of railroad passes by public officials , and then in the same resolutions , eulogized Senator Allen , Gov. llol * comb and Judge Sullivan as ideal public 'serviinls. It is this kind of ( Inception , practiced and yet con demned by the delegates of the convention that disgusts so many honest pops who joined with the party expecting reform. It id a wonder that any intelligent man nho has respect for himself , con tinues lo endorse snob brazen hy pocrisy. While it ban been proven beyond liny question of doubt Unit the whole lot of stale oflic'uls and deputies , with possibly one or two exceptions , did receive nnd ride on railroad passes , not only ono pas , but in some instances some had a dozen or more diffnront passes , there has not boon ono of those men per sonally condemned , or a word of censure uttered against them. An allompt to cover up deception of public servants , may bo the pops' conception of good politics , but in our mind it is dishonest , and decep tion. No good man can accept a nomination from a parly practicing such grohfl deception without com promising himself with wrong , and for that reason , if for no other , ho should bo defeated at the polls. If the members of llio convention were honest in their profession that \ priPH is a bribe , us was naid by Representative Taylor , which state ment was cheered by the convention , and further that n populist officer who accepts a pass is ; i traitor to his party , and should bo classed with Benedict Arnold , with what consistency did they elect men who USQ passes to state , judicifl and congressional conventions ? When republican. Htato officers were found short in their accounts , and it was evident they had violated the confi dence reposed in them , the republi can county and state conventions passed resolutions censuring their action , and demanded an investiga tion and prosecution. Every repub lican paper in the state was out spoken in their condemnation. But the pop oftioia's ' , after proven guilty of betraying the principles of their party , as well as the confidence of the public , hayo their acts condoned by the very ones they have defamed. Not a single con vention condemns , nor a demo-pop newspaper dare criticise.
