Nebraska State Faraers' Alli
aace. We think that every republican in
this state who feels an interest in tbe
success of the principles which that
party advocate, should especially take
notice and investigate the contents of
a circular recently issued from the
secretary's office of Nebraska State
Farmers' Alliance at Melroy, aud
6igned .by E. P. Ingersoll, president,
J. Burrows, secretary, and H. C.
Bigelow, chairman executive commit
tee. This circular speaks out plaiuly
what the State Alliance wants upon
the subject of political action by local
alliances. Last year was not regard
ed so important, as only local officers
were to be olected, and it was thought
inexpedient to risk independent
movements save in counties where
the alliance was exceptionally strong,
but this year a United States senator
and a full state ticket are to be elect
ed ; and tbe circular claims that the
alliances throughout tbe State . are
much more fully organized, and it is
essential that men devoted to tbe
principles of the alliance should be
placed in every elective office. The
circular recommends, where the alliance-
is strong in the county, to take
independent action and alliance tick
ets should, in every case, be nomina
ted. The circular also suggests that
where they hold the balance of power
it should be so handled through the
primaries and nominating conven
tions as to secure alliance men to all
the important offices. But should the
alliance fail to secure proper nomina
tions, then they are recommended to
bolt the ticket.
Every county that has three alli
ances is recommended to organize a
county alliance at once.
No one connected with the republi
can party in this State need misun
derstand what the State Alliance
recommends to its political followers,
aud neither should such dullness take
possession of the party as not to
comprehend that in the action of the
alliance there is more or less danger
to republican success. It is for the
majority of the republican party in
each county to decide what action
shall be taken to keep and increase
its political strength, but by all means
adopt none but open and fair meas
ures to accomplish it, but in the mean
time do not flatter your party with
the idea that the alliance is so utterly
insignificant that you have nothing to
fear from it.
A Valuable Improvemeat.
State Superintendent Jones is pre
paring a new system of study for the
common schools of Nebraska, which
when once put into practice will un
doubtedly prove to be a valuable im
provement in the manner of conduct
ing them. The design is that the
work to be accomplished by both
teachers and pupils be systemized in
order that more definite results may
be arrived at. Examinations will
be introduced and enforced with
rigidity and when a pupil has passed
a satisfactory examination in oue
brauch he is immediately placed in
more advanced classes. Three class
ifications, based upon progress in
reading, have been made, viz: A
primary, an intermediate and a gram
mar class.
It is expected that instruction as to
the manner of introducing and using
the course will be given in all the
teachers' institutes held this coming
summer so that it may be put into
practical operation at tbe beginning
of next year's work.
This move on the part of Superin
dent Jones commends itself to all
thoughtful persons. That invaluable
element of success, Bystera, in every
branch of trade or work of any des
cription, has its essential place in edu
cational labor as well, and the graud
possibilities which lie in our common
schools and are yet to be achieved can
never be attained until the importance
of working for the accomplishment
of certain definite ends is realized.
Anyone acquainted with the ordinary
bap-bazard manner of conducting
conntry schools must know that the
abominable practice of dingdonging
over tbe same work, term after term,
can not result in anything beneficial
and tho time is almost as much as
squandered. We hope to see tbe
new system speedily adopted and are
satisfied that it will produce gratify
ing results when once thoroughly
tried. Lincoln Journal.
If there is one woman above an
other now living that we respect and
esteem that woman is Frances D.
Gage formerly of Ohio, but now of
Viueland, N. J. We can remember
with what deep interest we read,
years ago, every word written by
"Aunt Fanny" or Frances D. Gage.
She has recently written a letter to a
friend which is worthy of perusal,
and we publish it to show with what
devotion she holds to the right in her
declining years :
Vineland, N. J., May 13, '82.
Mrs. A. P. Yocum, Dear Madam
Yours of May 8tb, received, and read
with pleasure, as is everything that
comes to me with the flavor of old
Morgan county, Unio. xes, l was
indeed the "Aunt Fanny" of Mt.Airy,
until 1853. I found myself with a
fearful battle to fight in 1830, when I
declared that women were abused by
tbe laws of the land, in being dis
franchised. But what a change? I
watch with all the interest left to an
almost helpless paralytic invalid, after
having been bound to my arm chair
for almost fifteen years, never walking
a rod without cane and other help.
Always with dazed brain and stif
fened and trembling hands, yet ever
firm in faith that justice and right as
between man and woman can har
monize society and bring about for
the world's good.
I believe that our day of victory is
near. I do not think men are so ad
verse to the suffrage movement as
women. As a whole, women are held
in bonds by custom, habit and feeling
of helpfulness that comes from re
stricted lives in the past ; partly from
ignorance, and partly from the deep
seated reverence for law and gospel.
Every year adds to our strength as
tbe rising sun lightens and reveals the
world of life after its rising. 1 am
very weak and feel myself illy able
at 74 and so stricken, to write good
strong thought or to wrjte at al. Re
ceive my sincere esteem, and assure
every woman suffragist, J am with
them unto tbe end.
Sincerely and gratefully,
Francis D. Gage.
A Sasgetitloa.
All arrangements for the manage
ment of political affairs in the Third
District remain yet to be made. There
is no provision by law or any estab
lished precedent by which au organi
zation may be effected, and as every
thing yet remains to be done aud tbe
fall elections are not many months in
the future, the Tribune suggests that
the chairman of tho various county
central committees in this district as
semble at an early date and make all
tbe preliminary provisions for the
Republican convention. This plan
commends itself from the fact that the
committee would be composed of a
sufficient number the whole number
being 32 and a majority 17 and a
class pf men to whom the business
could be safely entrusted this being
the most expedient manner of secur
ing almost a direct expression of tbe
people. The important questions to
be settled by this self-constituted
committee would bo about as follows :
First, tbe time of holding the con
vention. Second, the place of holding it.
Third, to establish a basis of repre
sentation to determine the numbor of
delegates each county is entitled to.
During the first meeting tbe con
vention can permanently organize by
adopting roles aud regulations for its
own government. Fremont Tribune.
Our good friend, Dr. Miller, of the
Omaha Herald, is, it would seem
from certain receut editorials, not al
together pleased with the attitude
that he has assumed in certain inves
tigation matters. It is a matter of
very little importance to the public
whether or not the Doctor lies in
saying we lied, but we submit that
these facta stand out very prominent
in this case, and the good Doctor
must not be allowed to bury them
under any manner of personal epi
thets: Dr. Miller charged corruption
on public officials, to wit, U. S. Sena
tor Van Wyck, State Senators Graham
and Tefft, and he utterly failed to
prove tboso charges. Did he ever
mean to prove them, or did ho simply
mean to throw dirt upon these men?
Can he yet prove them? If so,
why not do it? Does the Doctor
pretend to say that he has any more
witnesses in the Graham case ? If so,
why not bring them forward? If
not, why not acknowledge, in as pub
lic a way as be made tbe charge, that
he was mistaken when he said that
Graham bad received a surveying
contract in return for his vote for
Van Wyck, under an arrangement
made by McKillip?

The Doyle-Brockway bond coun
terfeit case has created a great ex
citement at Washington on account
that the plate on which tbe $1,000 six
per cent, bonds of tbe issue of 1881,
on which the above parties have been
indicted for counterfeiting, has been
pronounced genuine. The statement
of one of the parties accused is that
the plates were purchased from an
accomplice, inside the bureau, who is
not named, and be further declares
positively there waB an understand
ing between the counterfeiters and
the officers of the bureau. Some par
ties claim that $22,000,000 have been
issued from Ibis plate, but the secre
tary believea only $204,000 and the
$3,000 at Peoria, were all that .were
issued.
The Omaha Bee in replying to a
statement contained in the Chicago
Inter-Ocean frdm a Nebraska cor
respondent that a nomination for
congress in this state will be equiva
lent to an election, uttered a good
deal of truth when it said "No can
didate whose record ia not clear from
all suspicion of monopoly taint can
poll the full republican vote, aud the
sooner this is understood tho better
for all parties concerned." The Bee
sustains a relation to certain move
ments in political affairs to enable it
to speak somewhat from the record
of that enterprise, and it will be well
for our politicians to uote especially
what it says.
From Pittsburg all along the line
of the towns westward to Chicago,
including Cleveland, Wheeling aud
St. Louis, the iron operatives have
quit their places and the mills shut
down. It is stated that at Wheeling
alone 5,000 men are out of work, and
the same thing exists all over the
country, and it is claimed it is the
natural result of the demands made
by tbe new scale of wages demauded
by employes, which was to go into
effect last week. The aggregate num
ber of men out of employment by this
movement will reach 100,000.

plete set of dies and a quantity of
unfinished counterfeit coin in dif
ferent parts of the house. He has
been successful in passing a con
siderable amount of this coin in the
neighboring towns.
A report comes from Washington
City that ex-Senator Paddock will
receive the appointment of Commis
sioner of Indian affaire. Mr. Paddock
would make a faithful and competent
commissioner, having had some ex
perience with the Indian character
and a personal acquaintance with
some of the tribes. Doubtless, his
appointment would bo very accepta
ble to the western people.
Some of the most horrible murders
occurred last week in the U. S. we
ever read. This is a sample : J. F.
Bayles, a farmer, aged 60, was sitting
at his home near Vienna, 111., reading

It is stated that in the Lincoln high
school all tutitions of non-residenu is
paid into the library fond. This
might prove a good thing for the
high schools of other towns in tbe
state. In this way the high school of
Lincoln is getting a fine library and
they are constantly adding to it.
Lincoln, for several weeks past,
has been troubled with Burglars.
Recently, the residences of three of
her citizens were burglarized. The
