his defeat for President than if he were forming Mr Carroll watched
had been elected -
The congress which adjourned iasfc
week will go down in -history as the
most extravagant every known It
exceeds the famous billion dollar
congress by over 40000000
matter of appropriations
republican congress
It
in the
was a
M3y republican organs much is made
of the comparative receipts under the
WilsohimU AfeRlnley laws But the
eomjnaou as published does not bring
CuVMcKniley law down to its losing pe
riod The last few jaonts of its opera
tion showed a deficiency which was in
creasing so alarmingly that tho Harri
Bou -administration was preparing to
issue the bonds which its successor
was compelled to issue
In the Congressional llecord of Fri
day March 5 we find the following
j Mr Foraker presented the creden
tials of Marcus Alouzo Hauua appoint
ed by tlrj governor of the State ot Onio
a Senator irom that State to fill until
President xVIcKTbleV Ts inaugurated
and from this time on changes of
officials holding government positions
will probably be rapid Valentine by
reason of the numerous federal office
holders making their headquarters
here will watch these changes with
interest and this paper will from time
to time note the rise or fall of the
various office spekers The register
and receiver of the land office post
master Indian agent and other officers
have received attention from the gen
eral public but little has as yet been
said regarding the position of receiv
ing and shipping clerk at the Indian
warehouse
When Clevelands administration di
vided the spoils of office Col J T
Oglesby of Georgia was sent here lo
relieve our own J Wesley Tucker
who held the position under Harrison
Col Oglesby remained until a little
over a year ago when he was invited
to come up higher and assumed the
regalia of special Indian agent The
vacancy thus -created was filled bj the
appointment of another worthy south
ern gentleman J x Carroll of liruns
wick Georgia Mr Carrolls scholaily
attainments faithful and conscientious
discharge of his oKnoial duties and ex
empiary habits have won for him the
esteem and confidence of all
When the political issues of 1896
events with interest and immediately
after the democratic convention at
Chicago declared for free silver he
allied himself with the republican
party It is not the purpose of this
article to discuss the propriety of that
act His position being in the classi
fied service he could not of course en
gage in the campaign in an active
manner but under the auspices of the
Valentine Sound Money League a
non partisan organization he made
several speeches throughout this dis
trict A perusal of the election returns
from the precincts in -which Be ap
peared will testify that his efforts
were attended with good results
Several veteran republicans Jwtve
their eyes on Mr Carrolls position but
a3 those whoscaidis necessary to se
cure his removal are his warmest
friends it is sate to say that he will re
maiu in Valentine for some time to
come
After a long and tempestuous ses
sion of congress the sundry civil
IndlJin Jinrl fltfriniiltnril annrntiviuUnn
the next meeting of the legislature i
sent to the President
were on the
tberool this
vacancy caused by tbe
i i -
resignation of John Sherman in the
term ending March 3 1899
The credentials wore read and filed
after which Mr Hanna took the oath
prescribed and was given his seat
Tis thus that the political hoss re
ceives Mb reward
In conversation with The Demo
orat last week Prof H B Ward said
that the Nebraska State University is
one of tho leading four universities iu
the United States the others being the
institutions iu Michigan Wisconsin
and Minnesota These are always re
ferred to as the BigPour in educa
tional circles Our university is one
1
to be proud of and the -parent who
sends his child out of the state when
the time forhigher education arrives
neither subBerves his own interest nor
that of his child in so doing and in ad
dition shows a gr6at lack of patriotism
and love for the state Staud up for
Nebraska
This paper has hesitated from say-
v

Treasurer and ex Auditors defaulting
swlth the itate funds because we had
hoped that every means in the world
would be used to have the deficiency
paid rip We had hoped that it would

ply ignored them and thus they died
being the victims of what is known as
a pocket veto These bills carried
appropriations aggregating 75000
O00 and died a righteous death It
was characteristic of this extravagant
congress that the sundry civil bill
should be rushed through at the last
tninute of congress after allowing only
20 minutes debate on either side The
general deficiency appropriation bill
became tangled up between the house
of representatives and the senate and
was never passed Perhaps if we bad
a few more presidents with courage
enough to veto extravagant appropria
tions thepractice would stop As it is
the new congress which convenes next
week will be called upon to formulate
and pass new bills for the expenses of
the government in the departments
mentioned

the following men
Secretary of State John Sherman

There standi a sod idiool house on the slope of

Each morning the lads and tho Iasses gay
With bright eyes aLd and red cheek3 hither

And to their loved teacher words of welcome j 4

Who admire Ifarrv Heath an d about him they

And red faced Arthur so cheerful and kind
A nooler heart you will never find
There la Cecil the pet of both scholar and

With his small baby face he may yet make a
preacher
Ah Teacher they trustingly look unto thee
Their gentle guiding star to be
Your charges are learning fast
And early impressions are sure to last
When they are men and women grown
The seeds will ripen which you have sown
In their after lives they will never forget
The little sod school house where dailv they met
The old sod building the road and the lilli
Where we liked to yo down after water to Wills
Theyll remember the wholesome lessons they
learned
And the rewards of merit they proudly earned
Wlien recalling theso days in after years
God grant they iikw blot out the bad with tears
Aui tho they are far away many many miles
