We learn from the Laramie Times
that there are at present encamped
near Tie Siding, a large party of sur

the Union Pacific railroad. What
they are doing or what they are going

is work to be done we feel sure, and
work about which the ouside world is
allowed to know, but little, or why
this secrecy ?
The world is usually inclined to
look to the western part of this coun
try for marvels of all kinds, and any
one bearing that somewhere on the
habitable globe in mid-summer bail
stoneB had fallen of sufficient size to
"destroy utterly potatoes in the
ground," would naturally attribute
the phenomenon either to the western
atmosphere or the western imagina
tion. But it is from Switzerland that
this extraordinary destruction is re
ported. The true principle has been ar
rived at in relation to political assess
ments on subordinates in the differ
ent departments of the government,
and was announced the other day by
Secretary Folger, who said, "Every
man who believes in the soundess of
the Republican party, will pay what
he can, just as he would pay a church
contribution. If he doesn't want to
pay, be need tear no government mo
lestation." When the millenium ar

The Secretary of War has issued a
circular letter to employes of the war
department calling for full informa

government service. This means a
thorough overhauling and is liable to

The Coiuiac Mtute Fuir at Omn
Iia. Mr. Editor: A late number of
the Omaha Bejtublican which I hap
pened to see contained an article on
the above subject. The writer tried
to show that we might expect great
things of that fair and I hope we will
not be disappointed as we were last
year. The fair itself was not so good
as the year before nor so good as the
last one held at Lincoln. But neither
the people of Omaha nor the mana
gers of the fair may be to blame for
that, but it may have been owing to
hard times. If, however, the coming
fair should prove a failure, the writer
of this ventures to say some citizens
of Omaha may lay the fault, to some
extent, at their own doors. I was
told that they had a keen eye to dis
tinguish the visitors from the "na
tives," to such an extent that the
former were charged higher prices in
the stores than the latter; that these
were carried on the street cars at five
cents while strangers had to pay ten
ceuts, and that enormous prices were
charged for conveyance. As for the
bills of some hotels aud the meager
ness of their tables we heard marvel
ous reports. There are, of course,
always and everywhere some croak
ers, and even if your writer had been
informed by them that "the half of
their misery had not been told," he
would still take their story only
"with a grain of allowauce." But bis
own and his friends' experience con
firms what others reported. Duriug
the fair of 1880, your writer and a
number of friends bad reasonably
good board at a moderate price. Of
course, on arriving in 1881 at Omaha,
we at once repaired to our old quar
ters andaviug honestly and prompt
ly paid our bills the year before, we
were again received, and although the
price was raised, we would not com
plain if the fare bad been as before,
but, Mr. Editor, it was just miserable
in quality and grandly diminutive in
quantity, and ourselves having been
treated that way, we are a little more
inclined to lend a sympathizing ear to
others. Whether the course of the
managers in one particular was wise
or not these gentleman may judge for
themselves. The grounds were clear
ed toward evening before the grand
attraction, viz., the electric light was
to be seen, thus necessitating to visit
ors an extra outlay not only in the
shape of another entrance fee, but for
hack hire, etc., and the electric light
we were told was well now sub
lime as a failure.
Now, people, as a general thing,
allow themselves to be "fleeced" and
"shaved" but once or twice, and I
hope all the above are but exceptions,
and that the good people of Omaha
will treat their guests at the next
fair splendidly. "A word to the
Tub YearNl'miipulifnliiK.
Ed. Journal 'Some men and sonic
newspapers bein to talk and biiii
forward the names of citizens to fill
the different offices iu the gitt of the
people. Plans and combinations are
being formed to bring success to cer
tain candidates. I don't profess to
know much about politic .1 matters,
but I claim the right to briefly express
my opinion that plans and combina
tions formed and matured this year,
especially among politicians), will
amount to very little among the peo
ple in the coming contest. If I know
anything, the people, this year espe
cially, intend to select the candidates
without being influenced by the plans
aud combinations of interested poli
ticians. It is absolutely the right aud
duty of the voters to perform the se
lection of all their State and county
candidates for offlco, and the member
of the legislature to name the U. S.
Senator. This year there is stroii"
desire among the people to be the
judge of the fitness, ability and quali
fications of each candidate for the
office to which he may bo nominated,
and without such fitness, ability and
qualifications, the voters will be less
inclined than usual to endorse them
by their support. Candidates and
politicians should remember the fact,
that all persons presented for nomi
tiou should be qualified to discharge
the duties of the position, and that
the people have faith iu bis honesty
aud iutegrity.
With Republicans, there is another
principle involved in the coming con
test, which throughout the State will
have its influence in makiug nomina
tions, and that is the fact, that rota
tion in office must be carried out.
That no officer should have a life lease
upon any one office, while just as
good Republicans and equally as well
qualified to filled the trust, stand
ready, when called upon, to discharge
the trust
After, and not before the nomina
tions are made, will interested politi
cians realize this year that qualifica
tions in candidates will have a great
deal to do with the various nomina
tions. A. Republican.
As before, wo incline to the sound
ness of the Omaha Bee's position on
the city printing. There can be no
question but that publications paid
lor by the people and intended for
their information, should be made in
the paper having, the largest
circulation in the community imme
diately concerned. The claim of thr
Bee to have the largest circulation
is open to controversy, so far as we
kuow or care, but the circulation
should have the printing. Money to
be paid out of the public treasury for
for any purpose is not a charity fund,
and any" attempt to use it to bolster
up a struggling newspaper is against
public policy. Public printing is
poorly paid for at best, and no news
paper of the first-class can afford to
do it at les than legal rates. Wo
know nothing of the merits of the
Omaha printing controversy, but the
principles underlying this business
are not different from others iu which
the best is the cheapest. Lincoln

Oeuliag- wita a Liar.
The only way to deal with a liar is
to beat him at his own game. That
ip, of course, unless he is the editor of
a pious newspaper. What started
this item was reading about an Amer
ican who had been to Europe, and
who was telling a friend, who knew
he was a liar, about bis trip across the
Atlantic, aud how, on the 25th of the
month, "they encountered a swarm of
locusts, and the locusts carried away
every stitch of canvas off the ship."
The listeuer looked thoughtful a mo
ment, and then said, hesitatingly
" Yes, I guess we met the same swarm
of locusts the next day, the 2Cth.
Every locust had on a pair of canvas
pants." Tho first liar went around a
corner aud kicked hiniBelf. Pedfcv

Mr. Osborn and Mrs. Dr. Harwell,
were recently arrested in Omaha, and
taken to Des. Moines, on the charge of
adultery; on investigation, the case
against them was dismissed, and they
have again returned to Omaha,
and again taken rooms at the Canfield
House. To a person not personally
interested, it looks like a very singu
lar case all the way through; and the
parties to appear odd and singular
people. Mrs. Hartwell says "her
marriage to the Dr. was upon the
persistent desire of parents, and not
upon the dictate of her affections.
That her husband loves her more than
she does him; that she intends to
keep the child, and that life is not all
a dream."
The act discontinuing the publica
tion of delinquent tax lists ought to
be repealed. While it saves to the
tax payer, in some instances, the sum
of 15 or 20 cents, in very many cases
be is obliged to pay the dollar for a
treasurer's deed, after his land has
been sold, which generally would not
have occurred if it had been duly
advertised as delinquent before its
sale. There are always a certain
number of men who stay around and
watch these delinquencies and secure
titles to the property as soon as such
delinquencies occur. There must be
considerable profit in the business, in
one way or another, or so many would
not care to embark in it; and the
more quietly land is sold, the more
easy such business becomes, and the
more readily the pockets of the spec
ulator are filled.
Now, we are ready enough to ad
mit that newspapers never completely
earn the money they receive, but nev
ertheless we are of the opinion that a
tew dollars paid to the opulent and
grasping journalistic fraternity for
advertising these delinquents, would
be money fairly well Invested, and a
great convenience to the people in
many cases, especially to non-resident
property owners.
We submit that it would be wise
for the next legislature to take this
matter into consideration, that is, if
the pressure of other matters bo not
too great, and see if we cannot have
legislation touching the matter, which
does not grasp at the pennies with its
figurative thumb and index finger,
and allow the dollars to slip through

Ed. Journal : The steady rain to
day prevents me from taking my cus
tomary walk. It will help pass the
time, to sit down and write to you a
few items. This is naturally a beau
tiful country, full of nice, small lakes,
and running stream from the moun
tains, the Alps, on whose tops the
white aiiow can be seen at the present
time. We tiud it a spleudid place to
rusticate and rest in, after our weary
travel. Our relatives, with whom we
are stopping, live in a town, which
consists entirely of au old, and once
colossal monastery, which was found
ed in the year 1133. Oil paintings
aud stone tablets can be seen in the
old church, which go to show that the
institution has had its drawback, at
different times, by fire, and invading
hostile armies, and judging from the
massive store houses and other build
ings, including a brewery, it must
have been worth the while of an army
to plunder it. Finally Napoleon, the
I, when marching -across the Alps,
broke it up, and discontinued its oper
ations entiroly. It is used now mainly
as a summer resort for city folks.
The people here are the most fanat
ically Catholic of auy I ever did see.
You will come to a large crucifix put
up in open fields every little distance,
go where you will, all over Bavaria.
xney nave a Hundred times more
wealth put into churches aud church
decorations than schools. They are a
hundred years behind the times, with
their farming implements; mowing
and harvesting machines are entirely
uukuown ; the fields are divided and
cut up in small patches, about like our
city lots; a team will spend more time
in turning at the corners, than plow
ing, but the most of all is the plow
itself, that caps the climax; with
wooden mould board, and wooden
land side, a common, heavy, aud some
times not very straight piece of tim
ber answers for a beam, a small piece
of sheet-iron protects the wooden
point, and the whole doesn't pretend
to scour, mis heavy beam has a
second plow, striking out into space,
at right angles from the first ; the
whole has three handles aud makes a
combined right and left plow, the
operator always driving back in the
same furrow he came up in, and
throwing the ground one way.
In this way I might keep on with
many more old-fashioned notions
they have here, but what's the use.
Only its provoking to see how inde
pendent they are of all advice, for
their actions, at such times, are as
much as to say, these things are well
enough for you folks, but we know
what we are doing.
