This office is in receipt of circulars
from the Civil Service Reform Asso
ciation of New York wanting to know
whether we are in sympathy with
them. The Journal believes that
the purely business part of the gov
ernment should bo conducted on bus
iness principles. The great body or
the people are interested only -in hav
ing good government, but the Amer
ican people, we do nut think, will
ever give their consent to the contin
ued existence of an office-holding
clasB. It is all right to have efficient
service, but when any man or set of
men think they are the only oneB who
can do the work right, it is about
time for them to die or get out, if
for nothing else, to see what the peo
ple will do under the circumstances.
There is one other feature of all the
"reform" measures so far broached,
that is not fair, and that is to compel
a subordinate to submit to a severe
examination that his chief could not
pass. If laws are to be just, the gen
eral principle upon which they are
based should be universally applied,
and state representatives and sena
tors, governors, congressmen and
presidents allowed to be selected only
from the number of those who have
been tested as worthy by a compe-,
tent board of examiners. If "fitness"
is to be the test, why not apply it to
the "applicant" for the highest office
in the land, as well as the lowest?
The truth is the best men are not
made manifest by the work of a board
of examiners there are other quali
fications than tho ability to answer
hard questions asked from a school
book; many a man doing well on a
Nebraska farm men of good com
mon 6ense and Bound judgment
would make excellent officials, here
and there, but couldn't answer one
tenth the questions that these exam
iners are in the habit of "firing" at
applicants; there are hosts of bank
presidents throughout the country
who couldn't explain the rule for cube
root, the quadrature of the circle or
oven how to determine the amount
for which a man muBt give his note
at sixty days, eight per cent., to real
ize $100 cash down, who yet make the
very best kind of bank presidents,
because they hold hard to the chief
requisites,to have a depositor's money
ready for him on call, not to risk it in
speculation, and use every precaution
for Bafe-keeping. After all, though
the people do make mistakes, it seems
to us that they can best decide for
themselves, in each case where their
wish can be fully, freely and fairly
ascertained. The Journal says to
these and all other reformers, make
the government by tho people, more
and more, and you will secure the
greatest reform possible, and even
then the millonial period will still be
iu the distance.
The story of the Buffalo scandal
was to have been suddenly stopped
by a criminal proceeding on the part
of Mr. Cleveland for libel against the
author and publisher of the story, but
no action has been taken to have the
parties arrested, and now it appears
that tho Boston Journal has had a
representative in Buffalo who has in
terviewed responsible parties, and
finds that the charge against the dem
ocratic nomiuco for president is true.
Mr. Cleveland's personal character is
not only suffering in New York, but
throughout the country, and the story
shonld bo promptly met aud proven
untrue by unquestioned testimony if
it can be done. No innocent man
should permit such a story to be cir
culated against him for twenty-four
hours without taking some action to
reflu te it, or to confess it true, and
plead extenuating circumstances in
his own behalf. A Catholic priest in
Albany has gone so far as to publicly
demand the withdrawal of Cleveland's
name from the ticket and the substi
tution of Horatio Seymour or "some
other clean man." We bclievo the
time has fully arrived for Mr. Cleve
land and his friends to put a stop to
this matter by bringing forward the
evidence to contradict and disprove
it, or take the consequences. The
Journal has refrained, thus far, from
publishing the original statement and
has been waiting patiently to receive
the evidence that the story was false,
and we intended, with pleasure, to
publish the contradiction in the Jour
nal for what it was worth to the
friends of Mr. Cleveland.
The natioual democratic committee
met at the Delavan Honse, Albany,
on the 29th ult., and was called to
order by Secretary Prince, in. the
absence of Chairman Barnum. On
motion of Miller, of Nebraska, Hon.
John S. Barbour, of Virginia, was
chosen chairman pro tern. The roll
was called and all the states were
represented except Connecticut, Ken
tucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada,
Dakota, New Mexico, Utah and Wy
oming. Dawson, of South Carolina,
in behalf of the committee on organ
ization, made a report which was
adopted, but the committee decided
not to publish it at present. W. H..
Barnum heads the long list of names
composing the executive committee,
but Nebraska has no representative
on the committee. During the meet
ing an effort was made to have the
report of the committee on organiza
tion given to the newspaper, but it
was voted down.
The democratic committee designa
ted by their national convention met
at Albany, N. Y., on the 29th ult.,
and notified Gov. Cleveland officially
of his nomination for president. The
address of the committee as well as
the reply of Gov. Cleveland present
nothing new or startling either in
thought or principle, but we are
forced to acknowledge that both the
address and reply poseeg an excel
lence in the way of brevity, which
meets pur fnll approval and we cor
dially reeo&mend that quality of the
address and reply fa all political
parties.
The IVerthera Sean.
The story of Polar expeditions can
never be told. After giving a very
brief summary of .matters already
published in the Journal, we pre
sent additional particulars,a8 follows :
The Greely expedition relief ships
Thetis and Bear fonnd the survivors
of the GHely party five miles off
Cape Sabine in Smith's Sound June
22, '84. The survivors nnmbcr seven
men in all. Their names are Lieuten
ant Greely, Sergeant Brainard, Ser
geant Fredericks, Sergeant Ellison,
Sergeant Long, Hospital Steward
Belberback and private Connell. Ser
geant Ellison was very badly frost
bitten and died at Godhaven on July
6th while undergoing a surgical oper
ation. The relief ships with the sur
vivors, were at St. Johns, N. F., on
the 17th of July '84. The party claim
that they have penetrated the Arctic
country farther than has yet been
accomplished by any other party. In
latitude eight minuteB, thirty seconds ;
longitude seventy-eight minutes,
thirty seconds, Lieutenant Lockwood
saw the northern shore terminate
some 200 miles west and the southern
shore extending some fifty miles, with
Cape Lockwood some seventy miles
distant, apparently separate land from
Grinnell land. They named the new
land Arthur. Lockwood, in going
and returning, followed an ice cape
averaging about 150 feet perpendicu
lar face. Long in March '81 saw on
the northern coast three capes west
ward of the furtherest seen by Nores
in 1876. The sound extends some
twenty miles further west than shown
by the English chart. The survivors
of the Greely relief squadron have
arrived at Portsmouth, and will leave
in a short time (Aug. 5) for New
York. The "Bear" is ordered to Gov
ernor's Island, where the bodies of the
victims of the expedition will be turn
ed over to Gen. Hancock. Tho sur
vivors will be put under the care of
the war department, represented by
Gen. Hazen. On the morning of the
2d inst. Greely sat under the trees on
the lawn for an hour with his wife,
mother and children around him,
while he conversed with Gen. Hazen.
He was gazed on with great interest
by a vast crowd around the house.
An immense demonstration will be
given this week in honor of the return
of Greely in which several divisions
of naval cadets, naval apprentices,
marines and a brigade from the north
Atlantic fleet will take part. Military
and civil organizations, fire compan
ies, the municipal government of
Portsmouth and Newberryport and
the state authorities will participate.
The BHslaesa Outlook.
Three rather extra good years for
Nebraska have put the older commu
nities in very good shape financially,
and the rise of land all over this state
has added that amount of gratuitous
wealth to the owners of Nebraska
soil. Tho small grain having been
harvested, and generally secured in
good stacks, tho only other scriouB
question would now seem to bo the
outcome of the immense acreage of
corn. Tho tall stalks are fast growing
taller, the big ears are maturing rap
idly, and if no unforeseen drawback
happens between this and husking
time, Nebraska will again have scored
what farmers and business men call
"a good year," and real estate values
will again take a rise, the wave of set
tlement will go forward, new coun
ties will be named, new towns start
ed, and more attention will be given
to the now undeveloped portions of
the state, while the improvements
elsewhere will be pushed, and tho
good farms be mado better. Business
of every kind, it seems to the Jour
nal, will receive a new impetus, aud
the Nebraska world will wag along
with increased importance.
The officers ot the State Fair
Messrs. J. B. Dinsmore, Furnas and
S. M. Barker were in Lincoln the
other day on their way to Omaha to
superintend the erection of sheds and
the making of other arangements for
the State Fair. Gov. Furnas has
been a good deal among the people
and expressed the opinion that there
is a general interest among them
manifested in the coming State Fair,
and everybody is harmoniously co
operating in the organization of the
fair to have it the best the state has
ever held. He thinks the grain ex
hibit will be immense, and that they
will hardly be able to accommodate
the owners of stock who want to
exhibit. They have 143 cattle stalls
and 110 of them are already taken.
He says the outlook is 200 per cent
better than it has ever before been at
this time in the season for a great
exhibition and good fair. Tho state
fair will be held at Omaha from the
5th to the 12th of September.
Great excitement prevailed last
week at Chicago on account of the
arrival in that market of a large num
ber of sick and diseased cattle. The
doctors differ in opinion as to the
nature of the disease, whether it is
alkali, Texas fever, bloody murrain
or loco weeds. The better opinion
seems to prevail that the disorder is
Texas fever, superinduced by drink
ing alkali water. The cattle came
from southwestern Kansas. The
same disease to a limited extent has
made its appearance at Brady Island,
in this state, and has created a great
alarm among cattle men of that part
of the state for fear it will spread
among their herds. At this writing
an investigation, at the latter place,
is being made of the cattle affected.
Mrs. Tuoma8 Rowland, of Spring
ville, Ala., seeing a storm approach
ing, took refuge with her five little
children in a cyclone pit under the
house. The lightning struck a tree
in (be yard, the roots of which ran
into the pit, and the fluid followed
the roots with fatal results. The in
fant in the arms of the mother at the
time she was struck to death was not
iajBred.
ANOTHER DELEGATION FOR BLAINE.
Dan. CoHdoH Speak life Mind.
Ed. Journal, Dear Sir: As there
are a good many of my friends waut
to know the reason I support Blaine
and Logan, if I am not intruding too
much on your valuable space I will
give some of my reasons, as they are
too numerous for one time. My first
reason is, Cleveland cannot be my
friend, or of any laboring mau, me
chanic or farmer, with tho free-trade
plauk in his platform, which would
have American labor down to the old
standard wages of the good old dem
ocratic days, from fifty to sixty coins
per day, and our farmers selling
wheat from twenty to twenty-live
cents a bushel ; that is what Iroc trade
would bring, but that is what all tho
New York monopolists want cheap
labor.
O no I We will have an American
for President, J. G. Blaine, for a man
to be an American in tho full sense of
the word must love his country ; the
accident of birth don't fill the bill by
a long way ; he must be patriotic ; he
must not enter into any compact with
"other nations to cripple his own, aud
that Cleveland has done iu his free
trade dogma and that in my mind is
becoming a party to the biggest steal
ever perpetrated on any nation, and
what will be the outcome of free
trade? You will sell your wheat be
fore two years, if Cleveland is elected,
as I said, for twenty-five cents a buBh
el and everything else in proportion.
Another reason i3 Cleveland has
Identified himself with the worst
enemy of the Irish Americans in the
country, Abraham S. Ilewott of New
York, who introduced the O'Donuell
resolution to have a stay and investi
gation to show why ho was sentenced
to death ; this resolution went through
without a dissenting vote, but Hew
ctt, to undo what he had done, went
in the night to the British Minister,
and told him it was all buncomb and
only taffy for the Irish ; the minister
telegraphed these facts home to his
government aud O'Donnell was hung
at the time appointed did not get
one minute. Just picture to your
selves, fellow citizens, and how you
would be when if it would happen,
which I don't expect it ever will, for
there is enough of true Americans
left not to allow any such a pair ever
occur as the following. See how it
would sound, Grovcr Cleveland, pres
ident, Abraham S. Hewett, secretary
of Btatc. It would not be a very good
time then to be Irish and the only way
out is to vote for Blaine and Logan.
Now, Mr. Editi r, as some of un
democratic friends will say I have a
motivo in writing the foregoing, right
here I want all my friends to bear in
mind that I am not looking for any
thing, don't expect anything and don't
want anything, as I liave rustled for
myself since I was i i:ie years old and
am able to rustic yet, but there is one
thing I do want, and that is to be
commander in chief of myself, that is
to do my own thinking like any free
man. Hoping, Mr. Editor, you will
excuse me for intruding on your val
uable space, I am, dear sir,
Respectfully yours,
Dan. Condon.
Of Interest to Soldier.
Claimants under tho act of June
3d, to provide for the muster and pay
of certain officers and enlisted men,
and July 5th, to relieve certain sol
diers from the charge of desertions
should make application to the Adju
tant General for an amendment of
their records and having secured
this, the Second Auditor of the Treas

upon the claims for pay. It is slated
tho intermediation of a claim agent is

Citizenship of tho republic must
bo the panoply and safeguard of him
who wears it. The American citizen,
rich or poor, native or naturalized,
white or colored, must everywhere
walk secure in his personal aud civil
rights. The republic should never
accept a lesser duty, it can never as
sume a nobler one, than the protection
of the humblest man who owes it loy
alty protection at home, and protec
tion which shall follow him abroad,
into whatever land he may go upon a
lawful errand. James G. Blaine.
Congressman Culbektson, of Ky.,
who represents the Ashland district,
attempted suicide the other day at
National hotel, Washington, D. C,
by shooting. He fired several shots,
one of which entered his right tem
ple, coming out near the ear on the
opposite side of the head. He was
still living on the 31st ult., but the
physicians have no hope of his re
covery. The use of strong drink the
only reason assigned for ta&ing his
own life.
"The principle of the public rcgxda

form. At Hastings they are now likewise
engaged in enforcing the laws against
houses of ill-fame, and do not find
that public opinion is so wonderfully
in their favor that the laws can not
be fully executed. A Mr. Wells, so

with a number of other Irish papers
of less note, support Blaine, and yot,

to affect the election." The papers
know what they arc about, however.
Georges Creek Vallev in West
Virginia the other night was the

PROCLAMATION.
YaTHEKEAS, a joint resolution
was
TV adopted by the Legislature of the
State ofNclir.isk.i. at the Eighteenth S us.
sion thereof, and approved February 27th,
A. D. 1883. proposing an Amendment to
Section Four (4) of Article Three (S) of
the Constitution of said State, and that
said section as amended shull read as
follows, to-wit:
"Section 4. The term of office of mem
bers of the Legislature shall be two
years, and they shall each receive a
salary of three hundred dollars for their
services during said term, and ten cents
for every mile they shall travel in going
to and returning from the place of meet

route. Provided, hotctver, that neither
members of the Legislature nor em
ployees shall receive any pay or perqui

Each session, except special sessions,

the expiration of forty da of the session
no bills nor joint resolutions of the na
