Mr. Editor : While perusing the
Journal a few weeks ago I read the
account of the resolutions passed by
the Alliance while in session at Platte
Center and thought they were very
wise and commendable, especially the
ones requesting tbe Co. Commission
ers to be more explicit in their state
ments. This to tbe Commissioners
may seem a simple7 request, still if
they stop to think of tbe matter, they
will, I think, see it is only just and
right that their statements should be
so explicit that we as taxpayers can
know that our money is prudently
used; at present the statements' are
causing a great deal of comment.
Now, for instance, in their report
published in the' Journal of March
21st, there is allowed to the St. Mary's
Hospital for boarding and nursing of
paupers the sum of $254.45, and be
sides there $95.80 paid to different
merchants in Columbus for merchand
ise for paupers ; now the. question is,
how many paupers have we?' And
again I see $36 paid to Mr. W. D. Da
vies for boarding paupers. Who and
what are they ? Again they mention
sums averaging from $13 to $40 paid
to different merchants for merchand
ise ; what that merchandise is for we,
as farmers, don't know ; now if either
of our Commissioners were to hire a
man to manage their farms, of course
that manager would be expected to
furnish his employer with a minute
account of his outlayings, so the tax
payers have a right to demand a full
and minute report from their em
ployes, and they expect to have it in
future tor me resolution oi me Alli
ance expresses not only the desire of
a few, but of tbe mass of taxpayers in
Platte county.
One who is Interested.
We publish the above communica
tion, because it concerns a matter of
general interest, about all of which
there is more or less inquiry. We
have always been satisfied that it
would be better for all concerned to
give tbe utmost publicity to public
affairs, especially the expenditure of
monies. If our correspondent, or any
other person interested, would go to
the Clerk's office, and ask to be shown
any of the bills as allowed by the
Commissioners, the Clerk would
gladly refer to them.
If the Commissioners publish tbe
amount allowed, to whom, and for
what purpose, iu the briefest manner,
as they do, it seems to us that they
have done their whole duty in tbe
premises. The public have the right
to examine tbe bills and scrutinize
every item. What tax payers are
particularly interested in is that tbe
public functions Bhall be exercised
economically, and th.at no bills be
allowed except such as are just, nec
essary and reasonable.
We arc inclined to think that if our
correspondent will do as above sug
gested, she will find that the county's
charity is bestowed upon worthy and
needy individuals.
Selective Breeding Steele.
Mr. Editor : Experience is some
times a very costly piece of furniture.
It is selfish to say "Let others buy it
as 1 bought it." Your writer thinks
differently. If he can save the cost
of it to some of your many readers, it
is a pleasure to him. Not having any
breeding stock for sale, at present, he
can speak the more fully on the sub-
ject.
Permit me to eay first, then, that
quantity is not quality. If you want
animals for the shambles you may
look for size, but for breeding pur
poses it is very different. Any stock
man knows that graded stock often
grows heavier than the thoroughbred
progenitor, but begin to use that
bigger animal for breeding and you
may produce pigmies. Aud yet a
good mauy men have no other stand
ard to judge from but size. GradeB
aro well enough for all purposes but
for breeding. For that you need
thoroughbreds.
How to obtain them, is the next
question. When a man has given up
the foolish idea that quantity makes
up for quality he is prepared to ask
for thoroughbred breeding stock. Let
him then remember that not all that
is offered as such is really thorough
bred. Cunning men often have bought
one or two thoroughbreds of a well
known and reliable breeder and then
went west and sold under the bill of
sale thus obtained a number of grades
as thoroughbreds. Nor is a man safe
when he gets a pedigree with his
purchase. He may even write to the
publisher of the herd book and may
get tbe answer that such a pedigree
is on record does that prove that his
animal is the identical creature there
recorded ? By no- means. Tbe only
safety a mau has in that respect is the
character of the seller. No one should
buy breeding stock of strangers, of
men not known for honesty, truthful
ness and integrity, for that is the only
safeguard men have against deception
in that respect. This the more be
cause grades often beat thoroughbreds
for size, and men are strongly tempt
ed to take quantity for quality. It is
not necessary to nrge men to get
thoroughbreds because it is now thor
oughly understood that such is by far
the best policy. I will therefore in
my next only muster the different
breeds. A. H.
Mrs. Fanny R. Dudley, who was
formerly night watch in the asylum
at Tewksbury, Mass., being examined,
declared that when she visited the
foundling's department she found an
insane woman attended by an idiot
girl. They gave the woman only one
meal a day and this 'idiot girl carried
it, but instead of giving it to the pa
tient threw it away. She took tbe
woman out and she soon fleshed up
and became- well. A woman named
Margaret Hennessey in cne of the
cells said she had nothing but water
in nine days.
In the receat freight reductions by
the Union Pacific from the Missouri
river west to Montana and Idaho to
$150 per car, including eight bead of
stock, email lots of emigrant mova
bles, well boxed, $2 per 1C0 pounds,
horses or cattle (released) $250 per
car. What appears most remarkable
about this reduction is the simple fact
that every important point and town
in Nebraska has been excluded from
any benefits resulting from this re
duced schedule of xatti,
Four hundred troops have beeu
sent to protect Apaches at San Car
los. The Tombstone raugcrs have
taken the field and are being reinforc
ed all along the line. Gen. Crook
arrived tho other day at Uermosello,
Mexico, and a conference will be held
between Crook, Carbo, .Topete and
Governor Terres, to arrange for joint
action against the. Apaches. Ninety-,
three have been killed .in the state
since the Apache outbreak, of which
twenty-seven were Americans. It is
believed many killed are not yet re
ported. At Palm's ranch, ten were
killed last week. Two women' were
hong up by the hands and ripped
open. From one a child was taken,'
which was found mangled at the
mother's feet. The bodies of the men
were horribly mangled.
The reappearance of the star of
Bethlehem is predicted by astrono
mers for this year or the next. On
November 11, 1572, Tycbo de Prabe
discovered a star in Cassiopeia which
equalled Siriua, and even Venus, in
brigbtuess for a month, and then fell
back into its former insignificance.
Conjecture has sought to establish a
connection between this ephemeral
phenomena and two similar appari
tions in 1264 and 945. A not unnatu
ral inference was that tbe same iu-.
crease in volume of this remarkable
star occurred before 6545, which
would bring us to about 630 and 310,
and to the date of the Nativity. This
star is now again due. Ex.
The trial of George Scheller, at
Milwaukee, charged with setting the
Newhall Hotel on fire and causing tbe
awful catastrophe of January 10th
last, by which almost one hundred
human beings were sacrificed, was
opened in tbe criminal court on tbe
morning of tbe 10th, and every avail
able space in the court room- was
crowded. The prisoner looked rather
pale from long and close confine
ment, but looked fleshier than when
arrested. The day's proceedings were
confined to securing a jury. Contrary
to expectation a jury was secured and
empanelled before adjournment.
The steamer Nottinghill had a ter
rible experience in breasting the bil
lows on tbe Atlantic, in which a
furious hurricane raged for three days
and stripped her decks of everyihing.
All the doors of tbe deck houses' were
burst, the rooms gutted, tbe gallery
wrecked, and a great part of the
ship's provisions carried away. Thirty-three
feet of solid steel bulwarks
were swept into the sea, arid. 30 feet
more damaged. Thirty-four bullocks
and six sheep were. lost, of the 134
head of cattle and 199 sheep on board.
About a hundred tons of cargo were
washed overboard. :-. .
Thos. Phillips, a quiet, inoffensive
citizen of Hampton, Va'., was met by
J. Joyce, an old acquaintance, as he
was passing the Barnes hotel, and in
vited him to take a drink. Phillips
refused to drink, but accepted a cigar
aud while standing at the counter,
Joyce deliberately shot him through
the heart, without provocation. He
was arrested aud lodged in jail. Joice
is clerk of the National Soldiers'
Home. Phillips leaves a wife and
four children. It is feared that Joice
will be lynched.
