The Two Ways.
Somo folks argue that gambling
is a ueccssary evil, necessary because
a great many people make their liv
ing iu that way. Probably about
the same number make their living
by stealing, but it doesn't necessarily
follow that either of thom is to be
encouraged or countenanced by a
civilized community. The gambler
is uot worthy of confidence, iu a
business way, simply because his
methods are transferred from the
card table to the counting-room, and
unrest takes hold of him; crazy
speculation seizes him, aud keeps
him upou the rack. He cannot rest.
Common business is too prosy, too
dull. The ordinary profits of traffic,
slow, perhaps, but sure, are uot now
enough, since he has learned that
with the investment of a little time'
aud tact he wins tens or hundreds
by the throw of a card. The votary
of Chance becomes so infatuated
with the fascinating goddess, that he
forsakes all else, and cleaves to her,
deluded with the glimmering hope
that a turn of the fabled wheel will
soon bring him a fortune for noth
ing. And right here is the logical
saudy fouudation of the whole sub
ject. The gambler expects some
thing for nothing. If he loses, he
has parted with his money, and had
no just equivalent, which is all
wrong. It is not business. No man
should be asked to give valuables in
exchauge for nothing, aud the man
of mature growth who engages iu
gambling deserves to lose, in his
first venture, all he has ever made
by hard labor. But the public has
this interest, that the wives and
children and those dependent upou
the gambler shall not become a
charge upon the public, and that the
rising generation shall not be cor
rupted by bad examples. You do
not give your ingenuous youth a
fair chance, if you allow those old
in crime to lead them from the paths
of rectitude. You will not bo doing
duty by your boys unless you show
them very plainly the right path and
the wrong path; the,sleady, plain,
simple, honest way, the highway
where no mau need be ashamed to
meet his friends or enemies, and that
way, where the sinner is always
dodging, hiding, striving to cover
his tracks, and keep ahead of the
fiend which follows so close behind
that bis hot breath touches the cheek
of his victim.
Returned.
We clip the following paragraphs
concerning a portion of Platte
county's delegation in the late legis
lature. The first is from the Gazette
of this place; the second from the
Sun, of Schuyler, Colfax county,
which shares in a senator with Platte
county. We give place to them as a
part of the local history of the
county:
Senator Turner has returned from
Lincoln where he appears to have
been classed among the more busy
workers in the legislative bee hive,
and he has resumed his old position
in the arm chair editorial of the
Journal, with as much complacence
as though no legislature and no
snow storms had been iu session.
George Lehman, our Representative
has also fallen back into the more
quiet pursuits of private life, and
they both look as hale and hearty as
two well fed judges, conscious of
having served their country to the
best of their ability. We trust they
can now rest in peace for a time,
unless some emergency shall require
them again to be called into council
to augment the concentrated law
wisdom of the state.
V""" 51. k. turner.
r HMia nannln tf fbin Bonafnrial ilia-
trict have every reason to congratu
late themselves upon the record
made by the gentleman whose name
heads this article and who repre
sented their interests in the Nebras
ka Senate this winter. Honest,
efficient and conscientious, he has
been alike a credit to himself and
the district which he wan chosen to
represent. His course has been con
sistent aud straightforward, and his
votes upon the questions before the
senate have been such as to require
no apologies nor explanations.
Through all the plotting and counter-plotting
of the session he has
kept his hands clean aud to-day he
stands before his constituency as a
man who has done his duty honest
ly and well.
Attorney General Dilworth's
home is at Plum Creek, in this State,
and he is engaged in raising cattle,
knows the situation of affairs in the
western part of the State this winter,
and gives, in the following, from the
Lincoln Journal of the 10th, the
truth of the matter, so far as the
unprecedented losses in stock are
concerned :
"He informed us that the recent
severe storms have been very hard
upon cattle, the ranges were covered
with snow, and many of the cattle,
especially the "through cattle,'' had
starved to death. Last Tuesday
night he met three of the most
prominent cattle men in that section
of the country, and in comparing
notes found that the loss had been
more severe than he had expected.
One of the men put his loss at
thirty-five per cent, another at forty
per cent, and the third at fifty per
cent, and all agreed that the worst
was yet to come. The month of
April, says the General, is the most
trying to stock, and even in mild
winters, with the stock in fair con
dition, the month of April has
always proved very severe on them.
The green grass they find in the low
places during the month of April
weakens them very much, and fre
quently the cattle are found in the
sloughs unable to reach the range.
He predicts great loss during the
coming month.
His own loss has been very light,
owing to the fact that he has shelter
for his weaker animals, and has been
feeding corn that costs him only
thirty-five cents per bushel."
'Flic Xcr School Law.
The followiug explanation by the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction in regard to the uew school
law and interpretation of its present
meaning will be of interest to the
readers of the Journal :

Lincoln, Neb., March 10. j
The revised law was approved
March 1st, 1881 andtwnt into effect
at that time. Corrected copies, com
pared with the enrolled bill, have
been sent to all county buperinteud
ents, boards of education of about
twenty-five towns and cities, aud
about thirty copies to individuals.
This about exhausts all the copies I
could procure. The law is partly in
the hands of the printer and will be
distributed as soon as received.
Please state that the business of the
annual meeting will not be chauged
by the new law. Let district school
officers proceed as if no change what
ever 'in their business had been made.
Towns and villages organized uuder
the general law and not under the
law for cities, which have a board of
six members, will proceed as if no
change whatever had been made.
The only districts affected by the
new law are districts organized
under the law for cities. All incor
porated cities having a population of
2,000 or more, will elect now boards
of education of six members, on a
general ticket, whoso terms shall be.
three lor one year and three for two
years (to be decided by lot.) Copies
of tho law have been sent to all such
cities and they will have it to guide

with in the new law. State papers
please copy. Respectfully,

Supt. Pub. Instruction.
The emperor, Alexander II, czar
of all the Russians, was assaulted last
Sunday afternoon while returning
from a review of tho troops. A
bomb was thrown into the emperor's
carriage when near the winter palace
and instantly exploded, completely
shattering the carriage and causing
the wildest confusion. So great was
the concussion that the people iu the
vicinity were knocked off their feet.
The windows iu the houses for a
distance of three hundred yards
were shattered. The emperor's leg
was torn from his body, while he
received other serious injuries. Sev
eral other parties near by were in
stantly killed. The czar was imme
diately taken to the winter palace,
but all medical effort to revive him
proved useless, and he died at half
past three o'clock. The bomb used
was made of thick glass, and filled
with nitro-glycerine. The assassins
are described as resembling peasants
from the south country. The name
of one of the assassins ie Roussakoff.
A shocking murder occurred at
Craighead county, not far from
Jonesboro, Ark., the other day of
the daughter of Benjamin Ishmael,
a beautiful girl of 18. His wife is
dead, aud his daughter was the on
ly child remaining with him. On
the day of the murder the father
left home, going to the mill, some
miles away, leaving his daughter
alone in tho house, and promising
to return shortly. On his return
home after a lapse of some hours,
he found his daughter lying on the
floor, welteriug iu a pool of blood,
brutally murdered, her body pre
senting a horrible appearance, be
ing a mass of cuts and bruises, the
murder having been accomplished
with a club or axe. It is believed
the crimo was commited for tho pur
pose of robbery.
We see that not a few of the ed
itors of the state are laboring uuder
the misapprehension that the vote
on woman suffrage is to be taken at
the general election the coming fall.
This is not the case. The constitu
tion provides that a proposed amend
ment shall be submitted at the same
general election that selects senators
aud representatives to the legisla
ture, which will bo in the fall of '82.
The reasons for this are probably the
proposed change will bo under dis
cussion for two years, and that mem
bers of the legislature can be elected
with a view to the proper legislation
thereon, should it carry. The la
dies, then, and thoee who believe
that they are entitled to vote, have
two years in which to make the can
vass of the state.
The special train bearing ex-President
Hayes aud party, that left
Washington last week collided with
two locomotives when rounding a
curve near Severn Station, about
fifteen miles from Baltimore. Two
Pullman coaches were telescoped,
and several others thrown from the
track. Mrs. J. W. Young, of Sha
mokin, Pa., who had chartered the
first car, and John Oliver, baggage
master, were killed, and sixteen
other persons injured. Mr. Hayes
and party were thrown from thsir
seats, but received no injuries.
President Garfield has nomi
nated Levi P. Morton minister to
France; Wm. M. Evarts Allen G.
Thurman, T. T. Howe, commission
ers for the United States to the
international monetary conference
at Paris ; D. D. C. McClure, surveyor
of customs at Cincinnati ; John W.
Greene, collector of revenue for the
second district of Iowa; Robert N.
Tyler, of Indiana, member of the
Mississippi river improvement com
mission. Among the arrests made in Ire
laud under the coercion act is that
of Mr. Boyton, who is an American
citizen, and proper steps are being
taken to bring his case to the notice
of Minister Lowell, it was thonght
that the Minister might secure his
release on a promise to 'quit the
country.
There seems to be a desire among
somu .railroad officials to make the
law passed by the last legislature,
to regulate freight charges and op
pose discriminations, as obnoxious
as possible, in order to bring dis
credit on those who favored its pass
age. Before these magnates take
such steps, it may be well for them
to think twice and look ahead a lit
tle, as the outcome may possibly be
that they will make their manage
ment of these interests so obnoxious
that the people will demand the
passage of a much stronger law at
the hands of tho next legislature,
should tho very mild ouo we have
at present prove insufficient to meet
the demands.
Mrs. Mollie Mickelberry at
tempted the other day on the street
in Terre Ilaut, Ind., to kill George
Arbuckle, a wealthy retired merch
ant of that city. Meeting him on the
street she took a revolver trom under
her cloak aud fired at. him, but miss
ed Arbuckle and struck Mrs. Mc
Murtry, who was passing by, in the
arm, inflicting an ugly and painful
wound. The trouble she claims is
the refusal on his part to comply
with his contract to marry her.

redo. The estimate of the treasury offi
cials of the surplus revenue for the
remaining four months of the pres
ent fiscal year is $15,000,000. The
sinking fuud will require $S,000,000
to complete it by the end of the
present .fiscal year. According to
this estimate there will be a surplus
of $7,000,000 available between now
and the 30th of June with which the
secretary may purchase canceled
bonds.
General Maiione, senator from
Virginia, occupies thus far, in that
body, an independent and straight
forward course, not permitting him
self to bo dictated to or controlled
by either political party. This
course on his part indicates that he
must be a good mau, and will vote
right on all questions presented in
that body for his consideration re
gardless of party dictation.
