Twenty-three women and eight
men were burned to death the other

treme. J. S. Groneman, of Kearney, Neb.,
one day last week went on business
to Elm Creek, expecting to return
the same evening, but has not been
heard from since. Citizens have
searched in all directions and cannot
find any trace of him. Apprehen
sions are felt that he has been way-laid.
A PART OF IT.
Since the close of the war the main
practical questions worked upon by
the republican party bavo been the
re-conBtrnction of the states, the re
sumption of specie payment, and the
reduction of the national debt. The
party had, prior to the last election,
mauaged, with the unfailing assist
ance rendered at the opportune time
by the democratic party, to keep in
power; but the virtues of the once
grand party had been allowed to fade
through disuse, and the vices were
becoming more and more prominent.
It had become the fashion to seek
place for the purposes of power and
plunder, aud not for the furtherance
of a governmental policy ; it had be
come the fashion with moat men iu
office to regard themselves as masters
of the people rather than their ser
vants; it had become the fashion to
help put money into the treasury of
the United States, for the seeming
purpose of having a surplus on bands
to be used in devious ways. The
great body of the people, who are
neither office holders nor office seek
ers, had got tired of the manner of
men who bare been managing the
machine, and with their very ques
tionable methods, and the election of
the 7th is a portion of what they have
had to say about it. The people must
of necessity hold the dominant party
responsible for wrongs and mistakes
of administration, aud that dominant
party must act upon this theory if it
would retain the public confidence.
It must also lay hold of principles
and apply them fairly to the solution
of important problems as they arise.
Thi6 the republican party, as such, has
failed even to attempt, in the case of
the transportation problem, although
the popular demand has pointed out
the necessity of it for years, both in
state and nation. Also in the read
justment and reduction, in this and
that, of tariff duties, which, we think,
the people are decidedly in favor of.
Instead of a grappling with these
problems, and an honest and hearty
endeavor to give them a satisfactory
solution, there has been a constant
effort by the camp followers and
thieves to belittle their importance,
and beslime the men who have bad
the ability to see their vital necessity
as matters of party policy.
No political party expects to secure
the very best, bnt if men think they
can run the machinery from the first
motions of party primaries to the last
act of the officer issuing the certificate
of election, time and time again,
without doing something while exer
cising the functions of a public trust
to show that some reference is had to
the public welfare, tbey will find
themselves mistaken, soon or later.
The soldiers of an army are the men
who hold themselves ready for duty
wheu duty calls, and not those who
trade in wares, and so cumber them
selves that they cannot fight, when
the battle is on,
The record of the 7th was a vote of
ceusure against interference by na
tional officers in local politics; against
Hubbell assessments; against River
and Harbor enormities; against star
route jobs; against long-continued
questionable methods in party tactics.
If, now, those who are allowed to
manage the party machinery will do
so with a decent regard to the public
interests, the vote of lack of confidence
may be recalled, aud the administra
tion of affairs again entrusted to the
party whose rank and file have shown
themselves, time and again, to have
the courage of their convictions, and
the intelligence to administer well
merited rebuke at the most-opportune
times.
As to this, much depends upon
President Arthur's course during the
remainder of his administration, as
well as upon what the democratic
congress shall bring forth.
As to our Nebraska politics it is
pretty evident that criticism will be a
little more outspoken than heretofore,
and that the acts of our public men
while in office mast conform more
nearly to the requirements of our con
stitution, or the party in power will
be held responsible, in a still greater
degree than it has been. Pretending
will not much longer win. The in
stincts of the people are in the right
direction, and when they come to a
full knowledge of the men who have
been and are "posing" before them as
disinterested patriots, while at the
same time they are working only for
their own private gain, they will lay
them aside as fast as they get to them.
A platform of principles which
means nothing but a bait to catch
votes will be laid aside as rubbish,
aud the earnest utterance of men of
principle working for the public wel
fare substituted in its place.
State officers and legislators who do
not endeavor to enact into law the
wish of the people concerning the
appropriation of public moneys ; the
fixing of freight and passenger tariffs
on railroads ; the adjustment of public
burdens according to the value of
property, and the like, will be no
longer needed, and their place will be
supplied by men who shall at least
have the virtue of good intentions.
The David City Republican has
this to say in explanation of the sen
atorial campaign south of us:
The defeat of Dr. H. M. Mills for
Senator from the Fourteenth Senato
rial district was a surprise to few.
The Doctor made little or no canyass
in this county. He met with consid
erable opposition in Polk, his own
county. The anti-monopolists in But
ler, (and nearly all the voters are anti-monopolists
here, witbont regard
to party) became convinced that Nance
and Mickey were manipulating Mill's
candidacy and that the same force
would control the medicine man's
vote in the Senate. Nance is looked
npen here as a suppliant tool of the
corporations and one of the most
treacherous politicians in the state.
The voters therefore went over from
the Republican ticket to S. S. Reyn
olds, who is well known as a shoulder-striking
anti-monopolist, a popu
lar citizen and a square man. In this
precinct Reynolds received 288 votes
asd Mills only 69. 1

Whatever nlay be the rr suit of the
election in Nebraska, thj self-constituted
leaders of the Republican party
rou6t surely have found in the events
of the campaign, material torn decid
edly practical lesson. TIip spirit of
independence manifested is without a
parallel in the political liis'oiy or the
state. Men whose attachment to the
principles of the Republican parly i
beyond the possibility of quest ii a.
have faltered in their a!lviance an t
tor the first time in tweuu jear
voted against the party candidates.
Scores of others have been hold to a
lnke warm acquiescence by the cir
cumstance of local interests or a re
luctance to abandon a bad matter Uu
a worse. 1 h: is a v. oak and danger
ous position for any political party to
occupy, even though thai party boast
of thirty thousand majority. And
the end is not et. Any one who
imagines that this agitation and asser
tion of independence is peculiar to the
present year, is too limited in com
prehension to draw conclusions from
facts. So long as there exist good
reasons why it should, this agitation
will continue, and the revolt against
bossism and railroad dictation will
grow, until the political history of
Pennsylvania finds its parallel in Ne
braska. It has been asserted, and
with no small degree of truth, that
ten men and the railroads exercise
practical control of the Republican
party in Nebraska; and two men and
the railroads exercise absolute control
of what little there is of the Democrat
ic party in the state. Is it surprising
then that men grow weary of this
political serfdom that the party war
whoop fails to evoke the old time en
thusiasm and that there is a milder
response to the crack of the party
lash? The spread eagle oratory and
stereotyped figures of speech have
become old and threadbare. The pat
riotism and grandeur of Abraham
Lincoln supply no good reason why
there should be a dishonest distinc
tion in the assessment of corporate
property aud that of the humble citi
zen. The liberation of four million
human beings from the degredation of
slavery was a magnificent achieve
ment, but it does not argue that will
ing tools should be elevated to high
positions of trust. The strain upon
patriotism becomes too great when
one is compelled to wear a tag to keep
within the lines of "the grand old
party." Unless a parly can be 'the
result of intelligent thought and hon
est conviction it isn't worth preserv
ing when the honest voter holds his
nose as he walks to the ballot box it
i6 time to bury the corpse. And this
is not an overdrawn picture it is the
seutimeut of nine-tenths of the rank
and file of the Republican party. Men
who are not weary of "Republicanism
but who are heartily tired of many of
the men and methods that govern,
Inject honest, capable leadership into
the Republican party of this state and
it is invincible, but let it follow in the
line of its recent policy aud division
and disruption will follow just as sure
as death succeeds disease. Schuyler
Sun.
Gen. Sherman has submitted to the
secretary of war a special report upou
the subject of military posts and forts,
in which he says: The time has now
come for a radical change in the
whole system. For a hundred years
we have been sweeping across the
continent with a skirmish line, build
ing a post here, another there, to he
abandoned the next year for another
line, and so ou,and now we are across
aud have railroads everywhere so
that the whole problem is changed,
and I advise the honorable secretary
of war to go to congress with a plan
that will approximate permanency
instead of temporary wants by a
special appropriation for enlargement
or improvement of military posts.
Gen. Sherman recommends that the
secretary of war ask congress for
$1,000,000 per year for five years, to
be expended by hlra at the discretion
of officers of the quartermaster's de
partment. By that process the Gen.
thinks we will have an abundance of
good quarters for the whole army for
the next fifty years.
It is fair to assume that the next
river and harbor bill will not be so
large as the last. The President may
fairly consider his veto sustained after
all. The worst cut comes from New
Jersey whose patriots in congress
endeavored to make navigable all the
swamps in the state, and were almost
unanimously retired the republican
districts going democratic and vice
versa. But then it may be that they
didn't want their cranberry planta
tions spoiled. Lincoln Journal.
We don't remember, however, see
ing any particular criticism during
the recent campaign, in the Lincoln
Journal, of that outrage, the special
reason being, doubtless, that Valen
tine voted for it and Van Wyck
against it, and the Journal was too
unfair to commend the General in
anything, or censure the congressman
at all.
The next political contest in Ne
braska will be the election of a U. S.
Senator to succeed Hon. A. Saunders.
We do not think it will be himself,
but "doubtful things are uncertain"
always. Mr. Paddock has been men
tioned, but objections made that he is
from the Bouth Platte country ; Gen.
Manderson, Judge Briggs aud Mr.
Millard all of Omaha, have likewise
been spoken of by republicans ; Pop
plcton and Morton by the democrats,
and Gen. A. U. Connor and E. Rose
water by the anti-monopoly republi
cans. The contest will doubtless be
spirited, aud probably elicit more in
terest than any other similar election
since the state was organized.
Some idea of the great slaughter of

the annual number of deer killed at
200,000.
Cakns went into Butler county to
work agaiusi S. S Reynolds, who

over 1,100 majority iu Butler county.
This show's that the influence of the

' it mijjht be in Butler county. It also

The Atkinson (Holt cr.niitx) Grajthic
-aid in its la-t uc betori election,
"We have a oungtnan wrrking iu
the Graphic nfline who was at one
time an employe of Mr. Turner, aud
he iuforin us that that gentleman is
what is termed a steady drinker;
takes his liquor regularly every day,
and does not claim to he a temper

reported the same Turner as a prohi

seems to have been a local issue, va

We notice a very commendable
feature in the work of J. I. Strong,
sup't. of schools in Colfax county.
Without giving names of teachers or
the dis'iic's visited, he calls attention
to delects aud virtues, iu a very prac
tical and pointed manner. We notice
that one of the schools recent!' visited
by him was supplied with washdish,
towel and glass, a suggestion that
would be well to make universal. If
all superintendents were as Mr.
Strong, and as much interested in the
discharge of their official duties, Ne
braska's schools would take higher
rank.
A certain district in our county
did not believe that it paid to employ
a good teacher at advanced wages,
while an ordinary teacher could be
obtained for less money. But tbey
tried u good one for one term, and the
result was that although the district
had restricted the board to $35.00 per
month for the teacher, the patrons;
came to the board and said, "get that
teacher again at any price, and we
will, if necessary, by subscription,
make up his wages." Seward Blade.
Mrs Martha C. Albee, wife of
Gilbert J. Albee, of Omaha, on Thurs
day evening of last week, accidental

Earl Granville presided the other
day at the first meeting of the Long
fellow Memorial Committee at Lou

a writer of moral and hoalthy verses,
who deserved representation among
the tributes to many famous men in
Westminster Abbey. Resolutions
were adopted looking to the speedy

Recent news comes from London
received via Brinde'a of the burning
of the Garden Palace at Sidney, New
South Wales. In one hour the wbole
edifice was in ruins. The offices
burned were those of the government
department of laud, railroad construc
tion, surveys, harbors, mines, census
statistics, library and the Linnean so
ciety of art. The fire is suspected to
be the work of an incendiary, and it
will be impossible to replace the losses
sustained.
Father J. B. O'Donogiiue, pastor
of the Catholic church at Morrow,
Ohio, died Saturday morning of last
week from the effects of a blow from

be resented the insult, and iu the en
counter which followed the blow was
struck.
The Omaha Republican says of
Sturdevant, the State Treasurer elect,
"he may be a rogue, or he may be an
honest man nobody knows"." This
is a fair sample of the political pabu
lum the Republican has been dishing
out during the campaign slurs
against men it don't want to see in of
fice. Surely, some one of the many
thousands who voted for Mr. Sturde
vant, knows something of his hones
ty. There have been a good many
chunks of wisdom thrown out by the
press, in explanation of the last elec
tion, but the following, from the Nor
folk JVeuw, contains a great deal of
substance in a small compass : "The
self-constituted leaders of the repub
lican parly ought to realize by the
time this funeral is over, that some
thing should be done to suit the fel
lows who do the voting."
Commissioner McFarlanp has re
cently made a decision that will
establish a precedent in all cases
of a similar character. It is a point not
heretofore ruled upon. It reads : "In
case of simultaneous applications for
timber culture eutry of a tract in the
Bame section, all registers and receiv
ers arc instructed to sell the right of
entry to the highest bidder, as in
homestead cases."
The captain of the brig Letitia

At Ashlaud, Ky., on the 3d inst.,

The funeral of the three victims the

An attempt wa made the other
day to flood the city of New Yoik
with counterfeit $10 treasury noter,

The counterfeit first appeared in Chi

A portion of the plate was then capt

Recent news iu New York is to
the effect that Vanderbilt the other
day privately sold ten million of hia
4 per cent, bonds, at a price of about
2 per cent, below that current in the

Everybody is telling the reason of
the recent severe laud-slide in poli
tics, and they hit it more or less ac
curately, of course, according to the
latitude where they live. In Hall

Germans who, in a body, left the re
publican party and went over to the

From Berlin we learn that the pro

The Lincoln Journal says: "The

drawn swords and the rioters dis
persed, but not until a number were
hurt.

The estimates of the various de
partments of the government for ap
propriations for the ensuing year are
late iu being made. It will be advis
able to make the river and harbor
appropriation bill a little less than
the last. It was rather an expensive
vote to some of the last congress.
James Halroad, of Cincinnati, a
man seventy years old, lost $5,000 in
government bouds, stolen from bis
dwelling by burglars. The coupons
for interest had not been drawn for
seventeen years, and were still with
the bonds, which makes the loss
double. No clue to the robbers.
The election of Valentine is claimed
by about 500 majority over Munger,
while Munger's friends claim that if
the votes are legally canvassed tbey
will show Munger's election. By our
next issue we ought surely be able to
give the votes in each county for the
several candidates.
Six assessors and the United States
supervisor of election, were arrested
the other day at Philadelphia, for
conniving at fraudulent and ficticious
registration, and arraigned in the po
lice court. Only a portion of the ca
ses were heard. The prisoners were
held to answer before the court.
"One of the duties of the next leg
islature," says the Boone Couuty
Ifews, "will be to solve the question
of cheap transportation for Nebraska.
Congress should also be memorialized
upon this subject." Talk is exceed
ingly cheap, as the JVeitw columns
abundantly testify.
Six tons of powder exploded in
the works at Windsor Mills, P. Q,
the other day demolishing the build
ings, and scattering the debris over a
large tract. The workmen, having
gone to dinner, escaped, but one who
remained was blown to fragments.
