J FOR CONGRESSMAN DIST. NO. 3. Expressions for Turner. The Boone County News, a Valen tine advocate, does Mr. Turner justice in saying that he is "a sterling Repub lican and a gentleman whose integrity and honesty are unquestioned. No doubt but he would be a faithful rep resentative." Schtiyler Sun. Senator Turner is a prominent Re publican candidate for congress, aud is making a canvass ot the district. He is a pleasant and able gentleman, and his record as state senator shows him to be a legislator of the better class. Central City Nonpareil. The Republicans of Colfax couuty once confided a trust to the keeping of M. K. Turner, and his treatment of it drew from them only words of commendation. It is but fair to pre sume that they will willingly show their appreciation of his worth by lending their endorsement to bis pres ent candidacy. Schuyler Sun. We are informed that M. K. Turner of the Columbus Journal, has been brought out as a candidate for con gress. Although our first choice i Hon. Lorenzo Crounse. of Washing ton county, yet 4,M. K." is a gentleman whose sterling integrity and honesU commends him to all t lassos of Hnn ty. The pioneer editor of the Jour nal stands head and shoulders above Valentine. Albion Argus. Hon. M. K. Turner, of the Colum bus Journal, was iu town this morn ing. He i9 out as a candidate lor member of congress from this (the third) district, and is by all odds the best man in the field bo far. He is an honorable and upright gentleman, who will certainly work for the bept interests of the people. His views of the railroad, banking and financial questions are sound and just aiming to give every man bis just dues, and being au old settler here and a news paper man, is certainly well posted and knows how to act. We wish him success. Madison Chronicle. Mr. Turner i-, more than any man who has yet bepn named, our ideal of what the candidate of the Republican party ought to bo. Possessed of fine intellectual ability, he would be an honor to the people of the district, 6honld he be nominated and elected. fie is honest, honorable and conscien tious, and has never proved unfaithful to a public or private trust. We be lieve that his nomination would do more toward bringing a united Re publican party to the polls this fall than that of any man who will come before the Fremont convention. Norfolk News. It is with no small degree of pleas ure that the Sun anuounces Hon. M. K. Turner of Columbus as a candidate for Congress from this district. The situation was ripe for Mr. Turner's candidacy, and at the urgent solicita tion of Lis iriends he entered the con tesL There is little occasion for eulogy on our part. Mr. Turner's long residence iu Nebraska, his prom inence as editor of a leading Republi can paper, and his record as a member of the State Senate form a better his tory of his character than could be conveyed in words. He is eminently a man of the people plain, practical and sensible. There is about him none of the arts of the adroit politi cian, but in their stead a frankness of manner and au honesty of purpose that make bim honored and trusted araoug men. As a member of the State Senate from this district he made an excellent record, one that required no explanation or whitewash In point of intelligence, he is the peer of any gentleman now before the peo ple of this district as a candidate his knowledge of public a flairs can only be appreciated by those who enjoy a personal acquaintance. Hi character as a man, a citizen and a Republican is beyond the possibility of a reproach. The predominating element of the Republican party in this district is oomposed of farmer, and from them Mr. Turners candidacy should meet with especial consideration. Although the editor of in influential paper, he is al-o a practical farmer, resides upon Hiid r.oudticld the affnirs of au exten sive farm. We would not, if we could, overrate Mr. Turner or his abiiiiies. He i a man who thoroughly despises hypoc risy and gnsh and would scorn to reap a bem fit procured through un worthy meaua. We know that he would bo an honor to the State of Nebraska in Congress, and we ran urge his im miuation feeliug that we are advocating the cause of an hottest, ahl. and conscientious man. Schuy ler Sun. A Memphis court has decided that municipal authorities have no right to leafle the labor ot persons convicted of petty offenses, to private individu als. It in slated that Mrs. Harriet B-echer Stowe says that the character of Uncle Tom was not a biography or a picture, hut a work of the imag ination.

It is stated that the Indiana and Kansas State Republican conventions adopted woman suffrage planks into their platform. It appears to ho en tirely unnecessary to mix up so many issues in our state election. Men will vote on this question ju6t as they please, whether the state eon veution places the question in its platform or uot. Voters who are in favor of woman suffrage will not be induced to withhold their votes be cause their political parties re I used to put the question aa an Item into their platform. If they should be thus In fluenced we would have a very small amount of faith in their sincerity in advocating woman suffrage.

Why -1lot., A suggestion was made in the Jour nal a few mouths ago in respect to the formation of a tax payer's asso ciation, which was very opportune. The burden of taxation year by year increases instead of diminishing with the increase of taxable property. Such is particularly the cae with reference to county taxes, while the revcuue seems to be the tule with regard to statu and school taxation. Now why are matters thus? Are uot the expeudituies of the county unnec essarily large? An -organization oi the kind named could do something towards solving the mystery. . Tax Payer. Paul Turner, a machinist, of Chi cago, the other day took his wile one side in their domicile, and asked : "Will you obey me?" On receiving an evasive reply, he pullpil a revolver and tired two shots inio her breast, killing her instantly. Stepping into an adjoining room he then put a but let through his own heart.

It is stated iu the foreign news of the ICth, that a belief in the hopeless ness of the struggle is spreading among the Egyptians.

Mr. J. G. Jackson, of Ilockessin, Del., who has been for years a close observer of celestial phenomena, has from recent investigations aud obser vations, come to the conclusion that phyeicial life exists in the Moon.

As a general rule the crops in cen tral aud northern Nebtuska are good, and the hay crop will be hard to beat. True, the corn is a Iittic late, but in time promises to be immense.

In the southern part of the State the Ci etc Standard says that "the mountain travelers on the through trains exclaim, 'Is this Nebraska!' when they see fields of corn like dark green forests, and rye cut so that wheu bound and shocked, the stubble still stands as high as the shocks, oat Gelds which beggar description, barley with heads bending with weight. The eastern man with his rock-bound prejudices against drought and grass hoppers, is so disarmed he has to drink the inspiration of the sight he sees here and give up bis false notions of Nebraska." The Grand Army re-union, which will take place at Grand Island, on August 28th, has caused the commit tee on arrangements to begin active work iu preparations for the care and entertainment of the thousands who will attend. Ample and beautiful grounds near the city, including the Hajl conuty fair ground?, have been selected for the cucampment, where an abundance of water, with dinini.' haJJs, booths, markets, and every con venience will Ue iooslod for the ac commodation of all. A part of the programme will be the bombardment of Fori .Sumpter, on Tuesday, and the night attack by tho gunboat Monitor. The sham battle of Friday alternoon, in which all the soldiers on the ground will engage, with a battery of artillery a regiment of cavalry and five hun dred musketB in liue, will make a dis play equal to a genuine battle field. President Arthur bas promised, and j ig expected to be present. Hon. toran Clurk Has been announced by the Boone County News a a candidate for State Treasurer. Mr. Clark has resided iu Albion, rine c.ni.ut-, , lor a number ol year.-, and during that time has made hosts of friends, not only iu Boone county but throughout the State. The best proof of his integrity and character is found in the fact that the people have confided to him the tinst of representing his district in the State Legislature two terms. He has aln held the position of Revenue Agent, and probably would have con tinued to hold it until the present time had he not voluntarily resigned it to engage in his own private busi ness at Aibion. We have had the pleasure aj' Mr. Clark's acquaintance tor a Jong time, and have always found him courteous, gentlemanly, frank, intelligent, honest, and a ster ling republican, and can moBt cheer fully second his nomination, after J.
