Nevek before in the history of the
state hae Nebraska had a representa
tive in the Senate that has attracted
the attention that Yen Wyck has, dur
ing the past year. He not only at
tracts attention and creates comment
from the leading papers of the coun
try, bnt he maintains "his position
agaiast all opponents with such per
sistence and ability as to compel
recognition nnd to extort praise, even
from unfriendly sources. His stand
for free lumber is indorsed by the
almost unanimous voice of the West.
His efforts to compel the railroads to
pay taxes on their lands was so palp
ably just that opposition is found
only in ambuscade. The stand taken
with refereace to our relations to
Chili nnd Para met with the prompt
approval of the Senate, aud was at the
same time a vindication of the farsec
Ing policy inaugurated by Blaine
while Secretary of State. His advo
cacy of the bill to increase the pension
of soldiers who had lost an arm or a
leg was able and unyielding, and was
crowned with success. His exposure
of the shameless extravagance
amounting almost to robbery of the
department of justice in paying the
special counsel in the Star Route
cases, was aa act that required cour
age, and it has met with a perfect
chorus of npproval all along the line
from New York to San Francisco.
The Inter Ocean, a sheet unfriendly
to Senator Van Wyck, devotes a long
editorial to this subject, commending
our Senator nnd saying that Brewster
deserves all the censure expressed
and implied in Van Wyck's remarks.
Commenting on the same thing the
Chicago Times says that it would be
better for the country were there more
such men in the .Senate. Our now
eenier senator is content to be no
man's echo or shadow, bnt boldly
marks out a path of his own and fol
lows it regardless of whom his oppos
era may be. And it is safe to say that
with the exception of a clique of poli
ticians who Had it impossible to use
him, his course meets the approval of
a large majority of his constituents.
Sutton Begister.
Senator VanWyck is receiving
considerable attention, not alone from
the press of his own state but the
country in general. He is the only
representative Nebraska has ever had
that gave the state a place on the po
litical map of the country. So far as
her .influence waa felt in shaping na
tional affairs natil Van Wyck's advent
into the senate, she might as well
have remained a territory. The old
gentleman is perhaps not as dignified
as the sacred customs of the senate
would demand, but the constituency
which he represents is not particular
ly partial to dignity anway. He is
vigorous and aggressive, and whether
or not ho U on the right side, he at
least manifests a disposition to care
fully guard the interests of his state
end If there is anything to be said he
says it. His splendid effort in behalf
of free lumber has, with one or two
small exceptions, met with general
approval throughout the west. His
recent arraignment of those responsi
ble for the useless extravagance in the
star route cases, meets with hearty
commendation everywhere. It indi
cates clearly that moral courage war
for once more important than senato
rial dignity. The politicians of Ne
braska are after the old man's scalp,
but there is work ahead for the man
who captares it. He has placed him
self in accord with the people who do
the voting aad if an appeal is made
to them they will not forget him.
The fellows who are having senatorial
seats put in their pants are wasting

The Nebraska Signal speaks of the
appointment of Jndge A. M. Post as
haviag been made because he was
attorney for the B. & M. R. R. Co.,
nnd because he is the brother of G. W.
We are not informed aa to the motives
actuating the governor in making this
or any other appointment, but we do
not believe those ascribed above are
correct It is true that Mr. Post has
acted aa attorney for the Company In
several instances, but he has been in
ao aenaa their political attorney, and
deserving reward as such we have
no notion that Judge Post has pur
chased bis appointment by any such
means. Iu the fierce fight that was
made last fall everybody that could be
induced to support the railroad wing
of the republican party waa found
laborlag therein, might and main, but
Mr. Post could not be swerved from
his purpose. Those who know the
two men need not be told that A. M.
is a tail to G. W'a. kite, either in a
legal or a political sense, because it is
too absurd. The truth Is that A. M.
is a good lawyer, one among the best
in the district, is diligent in business,
a bard student, and personally well
acquainted with the Governor, and
we know of no reason why these
motives should aot be attributed to
Gov. Dawes, in place of other and
sinister ones. ,
The government of Germany have
prohibited the importation of Ameri
can pork. They tried a prohibition
against diseased pork (which was all
very proper) but finding that Ameri
can pork passed mnster, concluded
something more effectual must be
done to prevent the American trade
from interfering with home produc
tion. It would seem that in such a
utilitariaa age as ours the only sure
way to atop such palpable aad unjust
discrimination would be for our gov
ernment to select a branch of German
commerce with this coaatry profita
ble to citizaas of Germany, aay, toys
and triakats, aad retaliate in kind
"You kill my dog, I'll kill your cat."
No sensible American could or would
object to a prohibition agaiast dis
eased meats, bat when it comes to
saying it cannot pass the boundaries
of the coaatry simply and only be
eaaee it came from America, it be
comes, our government to assert the

The Jouknal does uot believe that
Dr Mathewson is an inhuman wretch,
or even an unkind mau, but it does
believe that iu conducting the affairs
of the asylum under his charge he has
not been as careful as he ought in bis
supervision of subordinates. To our
mind the testimony in the late inves
tigation showed this conclusively.
We print the following letter written
by an old citizen of this county who
has the misfortune to be afflicted at
times with mental disorder, and was
placed in the asylum recently. The
writer is well known to our older
citizens. The letter is published in
the interests of that unfortunate class
for whom too much cannot be said or
done,-aud whose loss is greater than
can possibly befall any other class of
human beings. Publicity cannot go
too far in throwing light upon our
Institutions of public charity, and in
providing that just, honorable, high
minded men only shall be employed
therein, especially in the asylum for
the insane:
Veboka, Vt, March 4, '83.
Albebt Arnold, Esq., Dear Sir :
As you are at Columbus and I am
here I think perhaps you will answer
a few questions. I am anxious to
hear from the last legislator, Mr.
Frank, aud also the doiugs of the
Republicans of Nebraska. I -havo
thought of my friends in Columbus
often since I left Nebraska, especially
Mr. Peter Becker, who, I believe, was
the means of my getting away trom
that cursed asylum at Lincoln, sup
posed to be a place to send patients
that want and need attention ; also a
doctor not some old snide of a doc
tor, but an educated, intelligent aud
God-fearing man. Now Al. I am
talking the truth, not aa insane talk,
but from the bottom of ray heart,
hoping God in his mercy is with me
and that he will deliver others as he
did me from the torments of that
great institution for the weary and
worn of body and of mind. It Is not
for me to murmur nor complain, as I
was delivered and set free; but for
the others who still suffer, I would
to God I could deliver them. I must
and will tell you the truth. If I had
not surrendered and begged for mer
cy I would not be here to write to
you this most hearty plea for others
who have the misfortune to be sent to
Linc61n. I most heartily desire that
some one have a talk with the Gov
ernor of the state and inform him of
the way the patients are treated at
that hospital. I do not complain ot
my own treatment ; as it is, I am con
tent that I got away alive, but others
did not get away but were made
worse by the way they were treated
by the attendants, who are fed on
good food, not that warmed up food
that we .patients had every day. I
managed to learn to know bow things
went while I was there. I watched
and waited for my relief and God
delivered me after four mouths in the
best season of the year through har
vest time. Oh! how I did look for
some one to come to my relief. But
God came at last through Peter Beck
er. Now you may think me wild or
a "little off" as we used to say at the
hospital, but I am sound and well. 1
am uot going to tell you all, but I
must state oue case : A man by the
name of Wright, who came to ward
2d about the time I was put down
there, was a sensible man and con
versed freely with me about his
troubles. He bad buried his wife and
had left his children in bauds of
strangers and wanted to get away but
no hope was offered, and he mourned
them all lost, but that was his trouble,
while I told him I had left my family
in the hands of a loving God. lie
could not feel that way and tried one
day to Qscape, was brought back and
put into a straight jacket and left I
cannot say how long, but be did not
appear at the table for several meals ;
but he came at last and was penitent
and talked good and sound, but was
still anxious about bis children at
home ; and as I stood by the window
looking out at some workmen and
attendants who were having their
fuu at the back stairs, he walked by
ono of them at the door and started
to come to the end window where I
stood and got between the register
and the door and this attendant turn
ed around and struck him one blow
under the ear and he, white, fell to
the floor and lay and quivered like an
ox stricken with an ax in the head.
Then he was dragged to his room and
put into the straight jacket and kept
there for the balance of the day. He
would not eat after that and wanted
them to finish their work of slaugh
tering, and got worse and worse until
I left and I heard the doctor say "He
is no better and never will be." How
many cases I could relate I will not
say, but my paper is used up before I
can say one word abont myself and
my treatment, but before I close I
muat say I was contented to stay if I
lived 1 knew I wonld be taken away
sometime and I did not murmur. But
while I bad three broken ribs L had
to sleep with a great surly farmer who
would not allow me to move in bed
nor to get up to use the rubber vessel,
but wonld pound and beat me every
night, while I suffered not only with
pain but with vermin on my body
and cockroaches in my room. Still I
murmured not nor complained and
would not if they had carried me
through the keyhole or, as I saw
many, to the Potters field.
Now, Albert, what I have written
is truth and who is to blame? Am I
to blame for being overworked and
nervous and sent away, or is it those
who caused my troubles? The doc
tors got their pay, as I saw the bills
in print, but I took my pay at the
hospital at Lincoln.
I want to be remembered to your
good wife and also to the boys, as you
know I never forget a good friend
who always treats me kindly, and also
to all good people of Columbus. My
wife and daughter seud love to you
all. Chbib Whaly.
Sittino Bull and one hundred and
forty of bis followers under military
surveillance at Fort Randall, express
a desire to join the remainder of the
Uncapapas Sioux at Standing Rock
and it is understood that the war de
partment and Indian bureau will ac
cede to the change, owing to the good
conduct of the Indians during the
past winter. We are glad to learn
that these savage warriors are getting
to be good Indians.
Fifteen Indians were repprted sick
with small-pox last week at Poach
Springs, near the Atlantic and Pacific

Ella T. Schick, Couoly Suneriu-
teadeut of Nemaha county, has be
come uoted among educators iu the
state for her wise, practical sugges
tions on school matters ; from a recent
column communication to the Nemaha
Granger, full of excellent food for
reflection, we clip the following par
agraph :
"You had better have five months
of school in a neat, comfortable house
furnished with plenty of good black
board, an unabridged dictionary and
an earnest, wide awake teacher, than
teu mouths in a dirty dilapidated
house with a miserable excuse for a
black-board, no dictionary and a teach
er who merely keeps school the re
Snired number of hours necessary to
raw the monthly pay. If you can
sustain nine months Ju school as it
should be sustained, Vote for it. If
you cannot, vote for as many as you
can and make a success of It. Let
your motto be 'A good school what
we do have !' "
It would bo a little refreshing to
see the functions of public officials
occasionally exercised In a wholly
business-like manner, for example: it
wonld seem that in a government "of
the people, by the people, for the peo
ple," if, iudeed, we have such a thing
among us or over us, that the public
functionaries might be selected out of
the body of the. citizens, as, for in
stance, secondly: Idaho, for some
reason wanted a governor; why not
find an Idaho mau aud appoint him ?
Why should it be necessary, advisa
ble or expedient to go to Iowa? This
is a custom which, it seems to the
Journal, would be "more honored in
the breach than in the observance,"
and for which there never was any
good foundation.
A new method of grafting grape
vines is highly recommended iu some
quarters and particularly by the
American Agriculturist. The method
ia to take a good strong branch or
cane of vine, or even a whole young
vine when a change of fruit is desired,
and 'whip the graft in the usual way.
The vine is then covered up in the
soil as near the roots as possible, leav
ing above ground only a bud or two
of the graft. It is well known how
quickly a layer will make a bearing
vine, as it has the advantage of the
parent roots as well as the roots it
produces. Vineyards may in this way
be quickly changed to better varieties.
Lady Florence Dixie of London,
while on a stroll in the grounds ad
joining the palace one day last week,
was assaulted by two men disguised
in women's clothes knocked down
and stabbed, but her life was saved
by the knife striking her steel corsets
and glancing off.' from her body. In
defending herself both hands were
badly cut. Under the excitement
from the assault and stabbing, she
swooned away but she remembers
that the men spoke no brogue and
that hor St. Bernard dog dragged oue
of them backward. She says she
should bu sorry to attribute the out
rage to the Land League.
A cheap way of starting an orchard
in Nebraska is recommended in the
American Agriculturist for April,
and consists in buying root-grafts.
They can be obtaiued from almost any
of the Western nurseries. They con
sist of a root, or part of one, grafted
with a cion of two or three buds.
These are prepared during the win
ter, packed in boxes of sand, and kept
in the cellar until they can be set out
iu the spring. ,Tbe nurseryman grows
these two or three years and then sells
them as trees. The farmer bad just
as well purchase the root-grafts and
grow tbem himself, as they come very
much cheaper.
Miss Amy Baunes has bad charge
of the cooking school in Wor
cester for the past two years, and has
proved herself, without exception,
the most acceptable person who has
presented the subject. Aside from
her excellent preparation under Miss
Parloa, and her training at the Boston
school, she possesses the skill of a
teacher combined with pleasing man
ners and those qualities which we
demand In the true woman. She
ought to make a great success of her
profession.
Owen Wilson, of Osceola, was
assaulted the other evening in Omaha
by two mulattos and when thrown
from the sidewalk the two men fell
upon him aad wrenched bis watch
and chain from him. At this critical
time his friend E. N. Smith from the
same place drew bis revolver and
fired into the robbers who were
frightened and ran away. It is for
tunato his friend came to his relief as
he had concealed on bis person $500
which his assailants would have
secured.
The department of agriculture at
Washington has been Investigating
the consumption and distribution of
corn and wheat in the United States.
It makes the stock of corn in hand on
the 1st of March, '83, about 580,000,000
bushels, or 8G per cent of last year's
crop. Taking all the states together,
the increased stock is about two per
cent The seven surplus coru states,
from the Ohio west to Nebraska and
Kansas inclusive, have 33 per cent of
the crop on hand.
Notwithstanding the rejection of
S. P. Mobley for postmaster at Grand
Island by the senate, Valentine

however, arises from too fact that
Valentine promised the position to
another man. Schuyler Sun.
