"Nebraska will this fall vote on a

most intelligent, been changing to the
affirmative of this question." The
above, from the Inter-Qcean,a truth
ful. The State Teachers' Association
will hold its sixteenth annual session
at Crete, Neb., commencing the 28th
of March, aud coutinuing three days.
A number of distinguished ladies and
gentlemen of the state will be present
and a profitable and interesting ses
sion is anticipated.
It appears from facta recently de
veloped that criminals of every grade
have and do now infest the city of
Lincoln, and that crime of every
description is greatly on the increase
there. Twenty prisoners are con
fined now in their county jail, each of
whom has killed his man.
Scoville claims that in his forth
coming book on the trial of Guiteau
he will show that there was a secret
meeting of the cabinet held after the
shooting, at which Col. Corkhill, his
assistant, and officeis of the detec
tive service were present. At this
meeting the unanimous opinion waB
expressed that the prisoner was crazy,
yet Corkhill persisted in the prosecu
tion. Gladstone, the other day in the
house of commons, favored a change
in the law regulating admission to
the house so as to allow affirmation,
as well as swearing. It is under
the law '& it now stands that Brad
laugh has been refused admission
The change in the law ia demanded
by considerations of expediency and
common sense, but was defeated by a
vote of 257 to 243.

Historical Sketcaea efCelaaabaa.
At this date, 18 , this town was,
as we say, a mere one-horse village
on the great desolation, 85 miles west
of Omaha. But the far-seeing found
ers showed their discernment in the
location. The design was to lay the
foundations of a city for all the future
of Central Nebraska, aB near the
junction of the great long broad rivers
and valleys of the state aB a suitable
site could be had. The space between
the rivers for four miles above the
junction is narrow and low, otherwise
that would have been the natural
point. As the course of travel and
trade is usually down and up th val
leys of every country, any one look
ing at the map of Nebraska will see
at a glauce how admirably Columbus
is situated, with reference, to these,
to be the chief commercial centre of
the interior of the state.
Columbus was first settled by a
small colony of enterprising Germans
from Columbus, Ohio, aud hence the
name. The town was laid out on a
grand scale in 1857. The company
speedily erected a decent, two-story
frame hotel aud called it the"American
House." Thousands and thousands
of freighters, miners, pilgrims to Zion,
and tourists to the infinite West re
member it well, and the name of
Mrs. Baker, afterward Mrs. Wells
the enterprising hostess, is yet famil
iar to many ear?. Without delay
also went into operation two' stores,
a blacksmith shop, a wagon repair
shop, a cobbler shop, and the humble
abodes of a few who supplied the
pies and cakes to the hungry way
faring public. Nttxt in importance to
the hotel and the Loup Ferry boat,
and first in wonder to everybody, bat
especially to the superstitious Abor
igines, was the huge steam saw-mill,
whose great steH teeth have since nut
to pieces the stately cottonwood
groves which once adorned the banks
and islands of both rivers in the vi
cinity.
It is said that when the Pawnees
first came in eight of this mill in full
blast they precipitately fled in dismay,
warriors, squaws, pappooses and all,
to their village 20 mile distant, re
porting that an evil spirit had con
spired with the pale faces and had
prepared an engine of torture aud
death for them ; that the demou had.
actually taken possession and was
breathing out fire and hot breath
from his nostrils, and eating great
logs with his iron teeth. Nor was it
until after many cautious approaches
of the braveat of them, and after re
peated explanations, that the super
stition was broken and was supplant
ed by that wholesome impression
which must always overwhelm the
barbarian, of the superior power of
the civilized race. Indeed, this great
mill was a decided civilizer, for by
converting the trees into building
material the new settlers far and near
had comfortable habitationa instead
of the rudest "dug-outa."
The rope ferry at CMurabni over
the LoupT a deep, head-long current
with treacheroua quick-aand bottom,
was one of the institutions. The idea
of a bridge, over such a stream, 1,500
feet long, never entered anybody's
head iu those days. In 1863, Uncle
Sam located here on his military road
a pontoon bridge, and at a later date
the great U. P. bridge forever dis
missed from these waters the rope
ferry.
While speaking of so early a date,
I must record the event of all wintry
events the snow of all snows over
known on the plains. It was iu the
winter of '57 and '58. Snow fell to
the depth of seven feet on an average
in the Platte valley and remained on
all winter. All travel by wagon was
suspended for a time, aud there was
no getting about on foot except on
show-shoe3 boards bound under the
feet. All depressions in the surface,
even the deep ravines, were drifted
foil, so that in many places the depth
of snow in the valley waB 15 to 20
feet, and on the table lands as much
more. The little colony of Columbus
would have starved out but for the
abundance of deer and the impossi
bility of their escaping through the
deep snows from their pursuers. In
deed, it is related that these animals,
usually fat in winter on the islands of
the Platte, grew weak from want of
their accustomed food, now deeply
covered up, and were often taken
without the use of powder and lead.
A few men yet live in Columbus and
vicinity who in the extremities of that
fearful winter, attempted and accom
plished the daring feat of going to
Omaha on snow-shoes with hand
sleds, and bringing back sacks of
flour thereon, guided over the wide
desolation and saved from helpless
wandering by the groves of cotton
wood that marked the course of the
Platte river. A.
The Omaha Trembles.
Serious disturbances began at Oma
ha the first of last week, commencing
by laborers on the B. & M. grade de
manding $1.75 a day, instead of $1.50
The demand not being acceded to,
they quit work, and, when their
places were filled by others, the dem
onstrations against such action were
so numerous and angry as to create
the greatest apprehension.
One of the processions of the
"strikers" aud their friends is said to
have numbered four thousand per
sons. The strikers assert that they
will use only peaceable meana. The
following troops, so says the Repub
lican, regulars and militia, arrived
Saturday at the scene of the riot :
Co. A, of York, Captain Scott, with
the regimental band also from York.
The band is under the leadership of
C. B. Allen, consists of thirteen
pieces.
Co. B, of Sutton, Captain Young.
Co. D, of Columbus, Lieutenant
Early.
Co. F, of Juniata, Captain Cole.
Co. G, of Beatrice, Captain O. M.
Enlow.
Co. E, of Wauhoo, the Wauhoo
Foragers, Captain Copp.
Company I, of Bennett, Captain L.
P. Derby.
Company K, of Central City, Capt.
D. Greiner.
The following regimental officers
are present: Col. Colby, of Beatrice ;
Lieut. Col. Keller, of Sutton ; Major
Adamson, of York; Drum Major
Pembleton, of Wauhoo ; the regimen
tal surgeon F. J. Schug, of Columbus,
and several officers of the governor's
staff. In all there are 326 militia men
and 112 officers.
They were reinforced Sunday night
by company H, of Nelson, Capt. Rit
terbugh and battery A, Blue Springs
artillery, Capt. G. M. Murdock.
The companies of regulars from
Fort Omaha are D, C and K, 105
strong, commanded by Major Gentry.
Also, companies C and E, Fifth
cavalry, and company F, Ninth in
fantry, under command of Capt.
Adam.
The entire military force regulars
and militia is under the command of
Colonel Colby, of the first regiment
Nebraska national guards.
The troops as commanded were at
once placed in position in the vicinity
of the B. & M. dump, and a line of
sentries around the grounds, with
squads xf regulars here and there with
fixed bayonets. The militia were
also stationed in position to keep off
intruders. A Gatling gun and how
itzer were put in position, supported
by 125 regulars and twenty sharp
shooters. The total military force
present is over 500. Under this guard
the B. & M. worked all afternoon
Saturday, without interruption.
In the meantime, warrants were
sworn out, and Ed. Walcb, president
of the labor Union, C. S. Knight,
president of the Iron Moulders' Un
ion, Fonda', the agitator, Barney
Shannon, the saloon keeper, and one
Van Orman were arrested. Adj.
Gen. Alexander and (Jov. Nance were
in the city and would remain a few
days. The Gov. is reported as saying
that the troops should remain as long
as they wererMtdcH

What to Tench V
No. 2
The common scho il ia a public ben
efit, designed alike for the poor child
as well as the rich.
If I understand the meaning of the
school law, aud 1 thiuk I do, its de
sign is to teach every boy and girl of
school age a knowledge of spelling,
reading, writing, geography, arithme
tic, and English grammar.
These, thoroughly mastered, will
lay a broad and solid foundation for
life work, upon which it will be safe
to add, as circumstances may permit,
lore of a higher grade.
It was not the design to have our
common schools converted iuto col
leges aud universities by introducing
into them the higher sciences and the
languages, especially, L-itiu and
Greek.
They belong to a special institution,
the college.
I here make the bold assertion,
without any regard whatever to what
this one, or that one may say, that
Latin and Greek have no business to
be taught in the common school, for
if the teachers give thorough instruc
tion in the branches to be taught
therein, they will have enough to do,
without teaching the dead languages.
For want of space, I shall make but
few allusions to the Rev. Mr. Pierce's
reply to my article.
He says "a mind that has been care
fully trained in the study of Latin
and Greek will very quickly grasp
the details of any ordinary business,
if indeed, it is a practical mind."
Here, you ' readily see that Mr.
Pierce's idea of a business education
is gained solely by studying Latin and
Greek ; but out west here, "among us
natives," we would begin at the other
end of the ladder, by studying the
multiplication table and spelling book
first; for it is frequently the case, that
good Latin aud Greek scholars, just
from college, are very poor spellers
in their own tongue. r
Further on be says, "Again, many
of our boys are to be ministers, doc
tors, lawyers, literary men, etc."
Now, I do not believe in showing
partiality in educational matters. Let
us be magnanimous, generous and
whole-souled, by saying that many of
our girls are also to be ministers, doc
tors, lawyers, literary women, etc.
But their place for preparation for
the above callings, is the university.
Again he says, "I protest against
the uotion that everything must be
cast aside as worthless which does not
make a man more successful as a
money -getter, or a bread-and-butter
producer."
Well ! to come right down to facts
and figures, without trying to dodge
the truth, we must all have our breatl-and-butter,
and you, behind the pul
pit, as well as the rest of us in our
various callings, are toiling for that,
and it is the Almighty dollar that
procures it.
To still prove to Mr. Pierce that my
article, "What to Teach," was not so
decidedly one-sided as , he claims, I
quote, almost verbatim, a brief chat
I had with a boy a few evenings since,
who was at my place at tho time :
"Do you attend school this win
ter?" Yes, I attend school in old district
No. 13.
What are you studying?
Algebra, physiology, history, arith
metic, and some other studies.
I don't like algebra at all, and do
not see any use in studying it, for
there is uot one person in a hundred
that has any use for it in business as
I can see. My father never studied
it. The boy's father is a prominent
business man in Columbus, and has
been for several years.
"I told my mother I did not want
to study it, but she said that as it was
a requirement in the school, I bad got
to stick to it."
Have you ever studied Book-keep-iue?
No, but I had rather study that ten
times over than algebra, for that wo'd
be of some use to me, but there is no
class in it.
Are you proficient in mental arith
metic? I don't know much about it. I
would really like to study 'it, but
there is no class in that eithe r.
How are you getting along in spel
ling? Well, I am sorry to say it, our
spelling don't amount to much."
In conclusion, I would say with all
due respect to the Rev. Mr. Pierce
that I am an old residenter, having
pitched my tent in this vicinity soon
after Adam left the garden of Eden,
and frequently having barely escaped
with my scalp, still on my old cocoa
nut shell, from the barbarous savage,
with uplifted tomahawk in hand, and
having passed through the trying
ordeal, in common with other pio
neers, during the winter of 1857-8,
subsisting only on sod-corn meal,
ground in a coffee mill, and seasoned
with a little salt, and having been the
foremost one in organizing school
districts Nos. 1 and 13, and having
been the first school "keeper" in
Platte county, and having closely
watched the educational wants of the
children since then, do think my head
ia somewhat level on the common
school question, and that I am entitled
to proclaim my sentiment that the
education intended by our common
school system is to be directed toward
the practical benefit resulting to the
general public therefrom, in prepar
ing our youth for the duties, respon
sibilities and cares of actual life.

V. P. R. K. Laad Tax.
At the meetiug of Co. Commission
ers March lt, according to the pub
lished proceedings, Mr. McMurmy,
tax agent of the U. P. R. R. Co., ap
peared before the Board in regard to
the unpatented lands of the Company
in this county ; on motion, the Clerk
was instructed to inquire of the State
Auditor if such lands are taxable.
Nwv, Mr. Elitor, the question of
the riuht to t.tx thi-. i mil was raised,
considered and discussed, and settled
iu the minds of the Commissioners at
the time that said lands were ordered
spread on the tax-list of 1880 At
that moment the authority of the
Commissioners ceased iu the premises.
I claim that the right to strike taxes
irom the tax-Hit does not exist in the
Commissioners. By a certain late
decision of tin; U. S. Supreme Court,
it is held that the U. P. R. R. Co. have
virtually complied with the terms cf
the law in relation to the disposition
of their lands, and that they have not
reverted to the government, and
therefore are not open to homestead
or pre-emption. It i held that in
this ca-j of the U. P. R. R. land, there
is a clause in the law requiring them
(the Company), to pay the survey
fees bo fore the government shall issue
paten M to the lands, which in aome
cases the Company has failed to do,
therefore thoy claim exemption In
said rases, in accordance with a de
cision of the state supreme court
previous to the above decision, a
decision that now can have no effect
in the case in its present attitnde.
Mr. McMurray stands in the same
relation to the U. P. R. R. Co. and its
interests that the Commissioners do
to the county, and I take it that if
either party violates their duties to
their respective allegiences they are
no more worthy of their positions,
and will be speedily called to accouut.
If thepe respective agents disagree as I
to points of law, then the county must
settle the dispute as it is intended
they should do. The respective agents
have neither of them the right to set
tle or concede the point of law unless
so advised by their respective proper
authority.
As to the motion to consult the
Auditor in regard to this land being
taxable, it is, to say the least, foolish.
The Auditor is not authority on this
point. On the list of lands sent to
the Clerk by the Auditor, of which
the U. P. R. R. Co. claim exemption
reference is mado to a decision of the
State supreme court (spoken of above)
for direction and consideration of the
Commissioners, without comment or
command, and seems to infer, (take it
for what it ia worth), knowing that
we had later decisions of tho U. S.
court on the rights of property, and
according to our laws there are no
exemptions in the case.
Not a Lawyer.
"Tax Payer" L.at.
Mr. Editor: I promised that
nothing more should be heard from
me ou the school question unless
something was said in defence of the
action of a majority of the school
board, in employing as superinten
dent an individual who was not at
the same time the principal teacher of
the school. A good deal of random
talk has been indulged in, supposed
to be aimed at my poor head, in re
gard to opposing the introduction of
new school books; to the establish
ment of a central high school ; the
extra expense for house and for a
teacher of the high-school, etc., but ou
none of these have I said a word
except the additional expense of em
ploying a principal teacher and a
superintendent. In a communication
in the Democrat of the 4th, Mr. Su
periutendent undertakes to justify, by
saying he is superintendent and prin
cipal teacher the latter because he
teaches in each grade or department.
This is the merest subterfuge, and I
didn't suppose that our superinten
dent wonld be guilty of dodging in
that way. This would make him an
itinerant instructor, a kind of peram
bulating supernumerary, so to speak.
While he is "teaching" in grade A,
for instance, the teacher proper stands
aside and does nothing, and so on
through the whole chapter, day after
day. I say this is not legal. He is
to be teacher, in the ordinary and
well-known meaning of that term, and
the principal teacher, by being the
teacher of the'principal or high school.
A superintendent merely, need not
teach, but the law requires our super
intendent to teach also, and this he is
not doing at all. Having drawn at
tention to this matter, I consider my
duty in the premises at an end.
