The action of the leaders of the Re
publican party last year in manipu
lating the primary meetings and fixing
conventions with cut-and-dried dele
gates intended to carry out the plans
arranged by the bosses and leaders in
the county and slate conventions,
which developed a strong inclination
in the light of a powerlul organization
to set at defiance tbe"will of the peo
ple and force nominations upon them
by trickery and other devices that
influenced hundreds and thousands of
geod Republicans in the state to
withhold their support from the par
ty. This action ob the part of the
people will continue to be repeated
every time the same cause exists to
produce it Would it not be better
for the Republican party to act
straight and square in the primaries,
county and state conventions, doing
nothing that would admit of a reas
onable objection to their action ? It
would be well if all political move
ments taken by Republicans in the
state with a view to making nomina
tions should be taken early, giving
ample time to candidates and their
friends to make a fair and full canvas
of the campaign. Often the state
conventions are held but a few weeks
previous to the election, giving no
time for a vigorous canyas. This
action on the part of the leaders lays
the foundation for the charge that the
people are not given time to investi
gate the character and qualifications
of candidates, aud the leaders, fully
understanding the love of party ties,
rely upon this fact to carry men
throogh in the contest who are some
times not qualified to fill the position
and who may have secured their
nomination through' trickery and
fraud, two things a very farge num
ber of the Republican party have be
come disgusted with and will not, if
known, approve or sustain. Give us
iu the future, primaries controled by
open and fair proceedings expressing
the wish of the people, and then the
conventions carrying out the will of
the people will place in nomination
for office good and qualified men ac
companied with an open, honest
expression of political sentiments that
are intended to be fully executed
this done and the Republican craft of
Nebraska will sail into port with a
healthy and reliable majority for fu
ture reformatory work.
The news came on Friday last that
S. R. Pearse living alone six miles
north of town had taken his own life
by administering a dose of strychnine.
Mr. Pearse was a citizen well known
to most of our people and his death is
one which creates much comment on
the part of his friends and neighbors.
He came here some years ago and has
since lived alone having a family in
Saline county whom be expected to
follow after he bad settled here. But
time has gone oi. and it seems that his
family for some reasons have not
come. It seems that domestic troubles
at home had been the cause of his
coming here and the reasons also why
his family did not follow him. They
remained behind as it is claimed be
cause tbey thought they could get
along better as this world goes, with
out him. Osceola Record.
The postoffice department has plac
ed the following names on the lists of
frauds : W. M. Clinton & Co. and the
Comet publishing company, Bloom
ington, III.; Western card company,
Normal, 111.; Union novelty com
pany, Mt. Pulaski, 111. ; Star publish
ing company, Atlanta, 111.; Agents'
Guide and Guide publishing company,
Lincoln, 111. Postmasters at the places
mentioned have been directed to dis
continue delivery to these addresses.
These addresses are said to be aliases
of the same person who operated
under the name of C. C. Williams &
Co., Springfield, III., heretofore black
listed. The fraud consists in adver
tising to send "The new American
Watch" for $1, the article furnished
being a small sun dial costing about
five cents.
Senator Van Wyck's arraignment
of the extravagauce of the attorney-
general's office is still agitating Wash
ington. Official returns just made
public show that since January 1st,
1882, the government has paid $115,
854 as fees to special counsel in the
star route cases. Of this sum George
BHbs received for fees and personal
expenses the handsome allowance of
59,069. derrick and Kerr together
drew $44,000 additional. It must be
borne in mind that this sum is exclu
sive of court expenses, pay of jurors,
mileage, witnesses and a host of other
items. How much Mr. Brewster
would require to send an ordinary
thief to the penitentiary becomes an
interesting question. Omaha See.
Frederick Thorpe, who lives in
Flushing, R. I., says I am proud of
my wife and owe my prosperity
mainly to her providence. In eleven
years she has not gone out at the front
door of our house. We have been
married thirty-three years and I have
never put on a shirt that had a button
off, and have never drawn on a pair
of stockings with holes in them, other
than the boles into which the feet
must go. She receives no visitors
and never visits. A 'newspaper re
porter gives this remarkable case
from a reliable source and adds that
Mrs. Thorpe was regarded as one of
the wittiest women in the village.
The dead bodies bnried in the hor
rible grave at Braidwood, 111., were
not reached until last week, and some
of the bodies recovered. The report
that the bodies had been reached
brought together over 2,000 people
who gathered about the shaft, discuss
ing the probability of identification of
the bodies.
The vigilantes at Greenhorn, Mon
tana, have removed the democratic
postmaster by hanging. He was
caught barn burning. This was a
special dispatch sent by the governor
of Montana to the pottoffice depart
ment annouacing a vacancy in the
office at that place.
STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
Opemimg S item.
Tnc6day, 7:30 p. m. The associa
tion was called to order by State Supt
W. W. W. Jones. Prayer was then
offered by Rev. John Gray of Colum
bus, which was followed by a song
by the Columbus Msennerchor.
A warm address of welcome was
given by G. G. Bowman, Esq., of Co
lumbus. The address was responded
to by Edward Healey, Supt city
schools, Crete.
A piece of instrumental music was
then rendered by Miss Lottie Metz.
The lecture of the evening by J. B.
Merwin, editor of American Journal
of Education, St. LouiB, was enter
taining and very instructive. The
principal ideas, perhaps, were: the
meager implements with which teach
ers have to work, and the grand re
sults so far attained ; the responsibil
ity of teachers teaching more than the
knowledge of books, thus laying the
foundation of man's moral nature ; the
liberty-giving element of all civiliza
tion ; and each and every teacher has
a work to perform, no one else being
able to perform it for him.
The lecture was followed by two
very nice solos from Miss Mary Tur
ner, accompanied by Mrs. Rosa Page
at the piano.
Wednesday, 9 a. m. After the asso
ciation was called to order prayer was
offered by Rev. Gray, followed by
a song.
Prof. Frank W. Barber, of Franklin
Academy, gavo a short address on
"The Mission of the Teacher," instead
of the paper expected from him.
He was followed by Prin. J. P.
Sprecher, Schuyler, who read a paper
on "Automatic Nervous Action as a
Factor in Education." We can not
mention any of the ideas of this paper,
as the whole was so good and origi
nal that it would do the writer an
injustice to mention any without the
whole. The paper was well discussed
and received special attention.
Wednesday, 2 p. m. The first pa
per was read by J. M. Wilson, -of
Hastings College, on "Methods of
Teaching." An essay on "The Lift
ing Power of the Common Schools"
was presented by Mrs. M. Monger,
Supt. of Nebraska City, showing the
wonders that have been and are beiug
accomplished by the common schools.
A paper "The Library and the
Public Schools" was next presented
by R. J. Barr,City Sup t.,G rand Island,
followed by a very interesting dis
cussion. The prevailing ideas being:
that the library is one of tho greatest
of teachere ; the true teacher can not
be kept within a text book ; that that
teacher is the best teacher who stimu
lates his pupils and young friends to
read and get the best ideas from the
best minds. Hon. J. M. Greenwood,
of Kansas City, gave some very inter
esting facts of bis examination of
teachers and pupils in the city schools
of Kansas City. He stated that out of
103 teachers, 7 declined to say wheth
er they read anything or not, 17 read
no bookB, and the remainder averaged
about three volumes each, many of
these being the worst kind of stuff.
In his examination of the pupils he
found that the 2,800 examined read
about 30,000 volumes during the year,
the most of it, however, being the
most degrading that could be found ;
showing plainly that our children are
reading something, and, if not the
best, it will be something else. The
main lessons to be learned from this
discussion were : libraries should be
instituted wherever possible, and the
books selected with the greatest care.
A resolution was adopted requesting
Mr. .Greenwood to lurnish the Lit
erary Notes with the list of books for
the teacher, pupils and others to read,
which he expects to publish in their
home paper during the summer, that
the teachers of Nebraska may be ben
fited by his labors and research.
Wednesday, 7:30 p. m. A piauo
duett was rendered by Rev. Hullhorst
and Miss Mary Coulter, followed by
prayer by Rev. A. Cressman, Supt.
Coone county.
We were next entertained with a
methodical lecture on "Cultivation of
the Thinking Faculties" by J. M.
Greenwood. The lecture lasted one
hour and seldom are so many good
things said in a short time. We quoto :
"Thinking is carried on by an immu
table law, as unmistakable as any law
of nature." "The true teacher will
develop these faculties in their nat
ural order." "If pupils fail to think,
the fault generally is found in the
method of instruction." "To culti
vate the thinking faculties, learn one
thing thoroughly, and compare the
known with the unknown."
Two very good musical selections
were then rendered by the Columbus
Msennerchor, followed by two beauti
ful solo's by Miss Mary Turner, ac
companied by Mrs. E. Jenkins at the
piano, and a fine instrumental solo
by Miss Millie Metz.
Thursday, 9 a. m. Tho first paper
of the morning wbb presented by Mrs.
J. J. Burtcb, teacher, Wahoo, on "The
Ideal Teacher." Among the good
ideas were : the teachers are the sup
porters of the community ; the teacher
should teach by example ; the imagi
nation should be cultivated as the
source of original thought; music
should not be neglected, as it is, more
than anything else, the means of
lifting mankind to the sublime and
beautiful ; drawing should be taught,
as the germ of some grand master
artist might be struggling for exist
ence. H. M. James, City Supt. Pub. Ins.,
Omaha, read paper on "The Order
and Relative Importance of Studies
in Elementary Schools." The paper
was good throughout, but the follow
ing specially attracted our notice:
"Sense reading can not be taught too
well." "Much time is wasted in
spelling." "A man need not know
all about the stars, horses, etc., but
we are shocked if our friend misspells
a single word, even if the orthogra-
J phy is irregular and difficult." "The
study of arithmetic should uot he in
troduced so early in life as it is at
preseut." " Technical grammar
should not be valued so much, but
language." "Language can be learn
ed earlier in life tban anything else."
"The first years of the pupil's study
should be devoted to language, read
ing and composition.
A paper on "Industrial Education"
was next read by W. V. Miller, Supt.
of Pub. Ins., Washington Co., Blair.
Among the main ideas of the paper
were: "The state should supply in
dustrial education, as well as mental."
"We want less of the ornamental and
more of the useful."
A resolution was then adopted,
"That the president appoint a com
mittee of three whose duty shall be to
examine into the various methods
and modes of industrial education,
and recommend such (at our next
association) as they think practical to
be introduced into the Nebraska
schools at this date. The committee
consists of J. A. Smith, W. V. Miller
and S. R. Thompson.
A resolution was then adopted,
"That the president appoint a com
mittee of three, whose duty shall be
to examine into the various methods
and modes of industrial education,
and recommend such (at our next
association) as they think practical to
be introduced into the Nebraska
schools at this date : The committee
consists of J. A. Smith, W. V. Miller
and S. R. Thompson.
Thursday, 2 p. m. The following
were elected as officers for the ensuing
year: Presidont, W. W. W. Jones,
Lincoln ; Vice President, J. J. Points,
Omaha; Recording Sec'y, Edward
Healy, Crete; Corresponding Sec'y,
Cora Clark, Nebraska City ; Treasurer
H. N. Blake, Beatrice. The executive
committee consists of O. C. Hubbell,
Hastings ; G. E. Barber," Lincoln ; H.
H. Nicholson, Lincoln; A. L. Funk,
Red Cloud, aud Miss M. A. Kendall,
Arlington.
J. J. Points, Supt. Pub. Ins., Doug
las county, Omaha, next read a paper
on "Pains and Perils of Intellectual
Growth." The paper taught us that,
he, who would attain intellectual
growth, must necessarily meet with
many perils ; yet, the pleasures of life
are in a certain fixed ratio to the per
ils, and he, who endures the perils,
meets with increased pleasure in this
life and the life to come.
L. A. Sherman, Prof, of Literature
and Philology of English, Lincoln,
read a paper on "The Historical Meth
od in Teaching English Grammar."
The paper set forth the idea that, the
best way to study English grammar
is to study Latin grammar.
RESOLUTION'S.
Resolved, That we extend to the
people of Columbus, to the railroads
and hotels, and especially the local
and executive committees and musi
cians our sincere thanks for the many
courtecies we have received.
Resolved. That it is the duty of
every true teacher to attend county
associations, state associations, and do
all in his power to be better prepared
for his work.
Jiesolved, That we fully appreciate
the efforts of the Literary Notes to
help the teacher in his calling, and
earnestly recommend each teacher to
subscribe for the paper and do all he
can to make it a powerful educational
journal.
Resolved, That the State Superin
tendent be requested to report at our
next meeting on the advisability of
State Agricultural and Industrial
Schools.

more work in practical subjects, in
the place of technioal grammar and
arithmetic.

Teachers' Association specially invite
the National Educational Association
of America to meet in Nebraska in
1884 ; and, that H. N. Blake, the Treas
urer, be requested to trausmit and
urge the acceptance of this invitation.
Resolved, That it ia the sense of this
association, that the study of formal
or theoretical grammar should be de
ferred to a later period tban is now
customary, and be introduced in con
nection with the higher school studies.
The study of language in the pupil's
earlier, years should be confined to the
effort to acquire the power of express
ing thought, not by the application of
the rules of grammar, but by practice
under the direction of the teacher.
Resolved, That in the study of Ana
tomy, Physiology and Hygiene, the
time and attention of the general
student should be given principally to
the last, and that the first two should
be studied onlyso far as to make
practicable the profitable study of the
mean6 of preserving health.
Resolved, That the teachers of Ne
braska, in State Association, favor
legislation providing national aid to
education.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the able management of the leader of
our State Association, in the main,
the sentiments of the different papers
read, and that we feel it has been good
for us to be here.
A motion carried that the executive
committee be instructed to locate the
next State Teachers' Association at
Lincoln. C.
Thursday evening was spent very
pleasantly by the teachers and their
friends, the Maennerchor furnishing
two songs, Spring Greetings and the
Pirate's Song, in their happy style;
MiBS Burtch read Longfellow's
Launching the Ship, ber enunciation
being very distinct ; G. G. Bowman,
assisted by Mrs.Bowman, Miss Woods
aud Mr. Kimmel, with Miss Mamie
Molleu at the piano, furnished a
touching song and chorus, Wait a lit
tle longer; Miss Okay recited the
Shipwreck and Guido, iu a way to
touch all hearts; Supt. Jones and
Miss Emma Bauer, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Woods, gave the
audience the Gypsy Maid, with which
they were very much delighted; Miss 1
Lydia Bell held the audieucc spell
bound with her recitation of the old
Yankee's account of hearing Ruben
stein play the piauo, aud with Little
Joe, also, while tho Farewell Song by
Supt. Jones and Miss Bauer, closed
the exercises.
All agreed that the annual meeting
was a very pleasant and profitable one.
A young mau unknown, attempted
to drown himself in the Missouri
river at Omaha the other day, but
jumping into shallow water he did
not go under, and the cold., ducking
seemed to work a change in bis inten
tion, and he crawled out of the wet
fluid and gave up bis purpose of com
mitting suicide in that way. He sub
sequently attempted to bang himself
in jail by tying a handkerchief around
his neck and to a rafter, but was res
cued iu time to defeat bis purpose.
He refused to give any information
whatever concerning himself, and
withhold his name.
It is charged in London that some
Americans who travel in Europe are
"louder" and more swaggering tban
other people. It is a very serious
charge, and we don't know exactly
where to find the truth unless it
should be among the manners of
London aristocratic society who claim
tbey are alarmed at the encroach
ments of American vulgarity and
French refinement. We can only
hope that Americans when they here
after travel in Europe will lay aside
the "swaggering."
I.v the case of the United States
against S. It. Jamieson, who was the
receiver of tho land office at Brown
ville from 18C2 to 1807, the jury ren
dered a verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of $1,900, and the bondsmen were
discharged from further liability. It
is stated at Lincoln that the general
feeling is that it was an outrago on the
part of the government to wait sixteen
years before bringing the suit.
Another sad case of deception and
desertion occurred the other day at
Council Bluffs in the person of a
young woman supposed to be Miss
Delia Brown, of Dillon, Nebraska,
who came to her death from a sup
posed caee.of abortion. She had let
terfi signed J. M. Bear, and one on a
B. & M. U. K. letter head signed A. H.
Holloway, operator of the B. & M.
The case is in the hands of the coroner.
Thk Boston Post thinks that it is a
mistake to have State capital in lar
ger towns. "Have 'em in small towns
where hotels are bad, variety shows
scarce, and most of the girls homely
then you'll get short session's and
quick adjournments." What a re
markable spirit of discernment pos
sesses the man of the Post, but then,
of course, no such deductions are
applicable to Nebraska.
Postmasteb-Gex. Howe died sud
denly on the evening of the 25th ult,
at his home in Wisconsin, where he
arrived a day or so before his death.
His illness was the result of a severe
cold contracted by walking half a
mile through a bad Btorm at Green
Bay, which, on his arrival at Kenosha,
developed into pneumonia, and sud
denly resulted in his death.
The degree of doctor of medicino

man has been convicted a second time
of such a crime as burglary, horse
stealing, &c, be shall be sentenced to
the full limit prescribed by law, and,

to the penitentiary for life.
The advice given by a far seeing
man as follows, "Young man, go
West," haB been so faithfully com
plied with that Nebraska now has
7,000 more boys than girls and the
occasion now demands a change of
the advice which should be spoken,
Young ladies, come West.
Miss Emma. Ridenour, who for
three years past has served acceptably
as olerk of the school board of In
dianapolis, has been promoted to the
office of assistant secretary. The po
sition is an important and responsible
one, and has never before been occu
pied by a woman.
Job. Lavery, crippled for life by
runaway horses, received $5,000 dam
ages the other day at New York
against the Metropolitan Elevated
Road, he having proved that hot coals
falling on the backs of the animals
from one of its locomotives, caused
their stampede.
In a case brought from Omaha the
state supreme court held that "Tem
porary obetructiond in a street, which
are reasonable and necessary for the
erection of a building upon an adjoin
