having been an ugly customer for
pain. Seward Reporter.
H. H. Hob art, of Atlantic, Iowa
has applied an old principle to a
new purpose, in the shape of a clock
that pumps water, and which it is
claimed is destined soon to supplant
windmills. There is now a sample
pumping clock in operation in

work nicely, and not subject to near
so many mishaps as the common
windmills in use.
The President on Friday last sent
to the senate the nomination of
Roscoe Conkling of New York as as
sociate justice of the supreme court
of the United States, and A. A. Sar
gent of California, as minister to
to Germany. The nomination of
Conkling created some surprise
among senators, but should he ac
cept, his nomination will be con
firmed without doubt.
A meeting of the Nebraska Edi
torial Association was held at Lin
coln on- the 22d ult. E. V. and C.
S. Clark, of the Genoa Leader, with
a number of other gentlemen were
admitted members of the association.

Moore ; M. A. Brown, Orator ; J. A,
McMurphy, Poet. It was decided
that the annual meeting of .the as
sociation be held in the month of
January, at such place and date as
the Executive committee shall determine.
The recent news from Bulgaria is
by no means reassuring. The same
tactics are being resorted to by
Russia as before the beginning of
her late war with Turkey. Volun
teers from Russia continue to arrive
in Bulgaria, and freely proclaim
their anxiety to hasten on to a con
flict, in which they assert that Rus
sia will not be slow to take :i hand.
Omaha shows wonderful improve
ment in her telephone system, by
placing a mammoth switch board in
her exchange, which will be operat
ed by numerical calls, which it is
contemplated, will be in working
order within the next four months,
connecting Lincoln, Plattsmoutb,
Beatrice, Kearney, Fremont and
Blair, with Omaha; also Columbus,
we suppose, when we get our tele
phone. The Chicago Inter Ocean asks :
"How would this do for 1884: For
President, Chester A. Arthur of New
York; for Vice President, Robert
Lincoln, of Illinois? The geograph
ical balances are observed in this,
and the other 'unities' are not dis
turbed." There is plenty of time
yet to form a ticket, and it might be
best to follow President Arthur's
example, and do nothing important
in haste.
Senator Van Wyck has ad
dressed a letter to the Beatrice In
dependent in regard to the sale ot
the Otoe lands, giving the news
papers credit for opening up and ex
posing actual or prospective fraud
ulent schemes. He believes in the
government disposing of lands to
be used for actual occupation for
homes and not for speculating pur
poses. Ou this proposition the Ne
braska delegation in congress are
agreed.
In nine cases out of ten those who
"cannot find work" are those fitted
only for rough labor looking for
positions in banks and railroad offi
ces At this time, wheu the rail
roads are taking at a fair price every
man offering, a man who solicits
charity on the plea that he cannot
get work is to bo regarded with sus
picion. As a rule, the able-bodied
man who is so poor that he cannot
possibly find bread for his family to
eat, in this country, had better give,
up searching for it, and go to work
for it. Lincoln Journal.
It has been generally supposed
that the law takes no cognizance of
the fraction of a day. Tho U. S.
supreme court, in a recent case from
Illinois, have held that "lor many
purposes the law knows no division
of a day, but whenever it becomes
importaut to the ends of justice or
in order to decide upon conflicting
interests, the law will look into
fractions of a day as readily as into
the fraction of any other amount of
time. If necessary, the court will
inquire at what hour of the day an
act was signed or a proclamation
issued by the chief executive, and
hold that it had no effect previous
to that hour.
According to the best advices we
have from Washington the attempt
of Nebraska's junior "senator to jerk
the presiding officer of the nation,
"the acting president," as Joe Medill
happily calls him out of his chair be
cause he said he couldn't be both
ered about a little rural postoffice in
Nebraska, was not eminently suc
cessful. "Keep your coat, on, Sen
ator," replied Arthur, "and go and
see the postmaster general about
your man." Lincoln Journal.
We might add to this, our belief,
viz: that if the Senator thought he,
or tho poorest of his constituents
was being ill-used, no matter by
whom, he would seek redress, and
dofend his rights, against the most
powerful man or combination of
men on earth, and this is one of the
qualities for which many Nebras
kans admire him.
The board of managers of the
6tate board of agriculture met one
day last week in Omaha. The prop
osition of the Douglas county fair to
unite with the State fair was accepted
and both will exhibit at the same
time. Action was taken to procure
an orator to deliver the annual ad
dress. Secretary Wheeler made an
offer of a special premium on corn
$10.00 for the best 50 ears of Ne
braska corn ; $5 for the second best,
and $3 50 for the third. Resolutions
were passed to prevent putting on
exhibition at the fair diseased cattle
or stock. The subject of railroad
transportation, &c, was discussed.
It was understood that Manager
Kimball, of the U. P. railroad, had
promised to extend their track to
the foot of the hill east of the fair
grounds and build a stairway up tbe
hil!,if the other road did not do so.
SmperlBteadeat aid Teacher
Ed. Journal : In the last Demo
crat appears a communication over
the signature "Superintendent," pre
sumably Prof. McGinitie, Sup't. of
our public schools, in which he char
acterizes my comments of last week
as "ungenerous."
He fails, however, to show in what
particular they were so.
Tbe only questions raised by me,
in my former communication were
these:
1st. Does the law authorize the
school-board to employ a person to
work as superintendent alohef
2d. Is such work worth $90 a
month?
The first is a legal question, on
which the superintendent is careful
to say nothing. The law is plain,
and I quote it again for Superintend
ent's benefit, and also forother tax
payers besides myself "they (the
school board) shall also elect at their
regular meeting in July annually one
superintendent of public instruction,
who shall be the principal teacher ot
the school, with such salary as tho
board may deem jut."
"Superintendent" says: "Tax
payer, without any knowledge of the
matter, says Mr. Cramer is the prin
cipal ot the schools. Mr. C. is sim
ply teacher of tbe High School and
has enough to do &c."
Now, I never wrote that Mr. Cra
mer was "principal of the schools,"
but I did refer to him as "principal
teacher of the school," using the lan
guage O' the statute.
Mr. McGinitie will certainly not
dispute this he surely does not
himself protend to be the "principal
teacher," and yet, if be has been
drawing his ninety dollars a mouth
as pay for work as superintendent
and priucipal teacher, he ought to
know how aud where he gets in his
work as "principal teacher."
Possibly no man would object to
receiving ninety dollars a month for
doing such work as falls to Mr. Mc
Ginitie's lot as Superintendent uo
b dy blames him that I know of for
taking all that he can get as wages,
but it is a question for tax-payers
whether they will sustain the major
ity of the board that made the trans
action, as a matter of business.
Will Mr. McGinitie, as "principal
teacher of the school," tell us what
department or grade he teaches?
Will Mr. McGinitie or any of that
majority answer these questions,
Does the statute compel the employ
ment of a person as superintendent
merelyt Could the board, legally,
employ Hon. H. J. Hudson, for in
stance, as superintendent, he being
engaged, as now, otherwise than in
tbe business of teaching ? Could tbe
board, legally, employ one o'f the
subordinate teachers, as superin
tendent? Until "Superintendent" or some
one else can answer these queries, or
attempts to do so, it will not be
necessary for me to write again.
Yours, Tax Payer.

Editor Journal The large fire
north o f us last Thursday did not do
any severe damage, although it re
quired hard fighting to save some
individual property.
The more we inquire of farmers,
the less it appears will be the amount
of wheat sown, but moBt of them
will plant many extra acres to corn.
Our village is to have another
hard ward store ; when this is start
ted, which will be in a few days,
war will be declared between "Can
ada" and "Africa," tbe two time
honored names of our north and
6outh side village.
A large amount of farm machin
ery has already been shipped in, and
agents are busy.
For the past few days, we have
bad some of Nebraska's frigid
breezes, and quite a miniature bliz
zard, but as your readers have beeu
in the enjoyment of the same weath
er, they, as well as we, can appre
ciate it.
The G. A. R. of this place will
hold a rousing camp-fire on the 3d
of March ; foraging parties will
scour the surrounding country, aud
should any of tbe comrades from
your city favor us with their pres
ence, they may rest assured they
will be gladly welcomed, and that
there will be no lack of hard-tack,
coffee, beans and chickens, with
songs, toasts, speeches and stories of
army life, "as it was" from '61 into
'65, when Johnny went marching
home.
It is expected that the O. & R. V.
R. R. will connect with tne U. I.
this season ; nearly every station in
this county and Polk is expecting to
be made a division station, and we
expect all but one will be exceeding
ly disappointed. Why Not?

A Sixty Foot YelM of Coal.
The Oregon branch of the Union
Pacific road in weetern Wyoming is
developing the largest body of coal
