The State Journal strikes at one of
the nonsensical attractions (?) of the
State Fair which the management did
not decide to drop in the following
bit of satire :
We observe that the board of man
agers of the State Fair have retained
the chariot race as a feature -of the
annual exhibition. We are delighted
to see it. The intimate relation be
tween the improvement of agriculture
and the spectacle of a half-naked
woman driving four old pings at a
gallop around tbe race track is so in
timate and vital as to need no comment-
If the woman, should fail to
appear in a 'costume 'abbreviated at
both ends and thrash her plugs and
holler,MHi Yi"-at Jenrtwo or three
times around the ring, we are satisfied
that corn would mildew and apples
turn to seedlinge. Should tbe char
iot race managers fail to receive a
check for six or eight hundred dol
lars of the.fundB set apart or contrib
uted to the dissemination of horticul
tural and agricultural information,
there is no doubt but every cow in
the state would give bloody milk.
For averting these great evils the
board of managers have the sincere
thanks of a happy and much-relieved
people. We regret to observe, how
ever, that they have neglected to in
corporate into the exhibition the
instructive spectacle of a greased
pig race-:
Another abuse of the object; for
which fairs are intended, having no
recommendation except that it is a
"drawing" feature to swell the gate
receipts, and might be replaced by
an attraction of tbe same nature
which would not be a farce, is tbe
custom of paying a large portion of
the funds for premiums to a lot of
old spavined and ring-boned "pol
lers" under the gauzy pretext of eb
conraging the .breeding of speedy
.horses.
On tbe subject of the return of un
earned land grants to tbe government,
Senator Tan Wyck, made tbe follow
ing pointed remarks in a speech be
fore the Senate' tbe other day : '
"Twenty and thirty years ago con
gress gave recklessly to any coropra
tion applying for lands. Now the
execntive department and congress
refusing to restore unearned lands to
the public domain will be judged by
the people as gnilty of a crime againBt
the nation. The tide of our own and
foreign populations, which years ago
laid the foundations and reared tbe
structure of great states in the west,
is now repelled by the desert lands,
the arid plains, the sandhills, tbe sage
brush, and in its reflex is gathering
at the border of the Indian lands im
patient to enter. Federal bayonets
are pointed against tbe breasts of
hardy pioneers like nnto that class
who carried the flag of tbe Union in
advance of civilization over mountain
peaks and furled it by the waves of
the broad Pacific. No bayonets to
drive out the cattle syndicates al
ready in Oklahoma or to destroy
fences illegally enclosing millions of
acres of public domain !"
W. W. W. Jones, State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction, calls
attention of tbe people to the change
made in the school law by the legis
lature. At the business of the an
nual meeting under the change it
will be necessary now for the voters
to provide for what school may be
desired between the time of the an
nual meeting and tbe second Monday
in July, in addition to the full year
from the second Monday in July,
1885, to the second Monday in July,
1886. In other wordB, for fifteen
months' school instead of one year's
school. The change affects cities of
the second cUbs, in that the tax es
timate is made to the county com
missioners instead of the city council.
The officers to be elected at the
coming meeting do not, in country
districts, take possession of their
office until the second Monday in
July. The present board holds nntil
that time. City boards are not af
fected in the change in the school
year.
The Fremont Herald shows the
right spirit in its course with refer-
ence to Judge Post and his action in
the Beers-Sang case, and in doing so
gives tbe Judge well-merited praise,
as against some criticisms of the North
Bend Hail: says the Herald:
"He was the umpire selected by the
law to decide the question. He is
not a resident of this county. He is
entirely a disinterested person. He
is regarded as one of the ablest law
yers in this State. As a judge he is
the peer of any of his colleagues, in
the various judicial districts of the
State, in pnrity, learning and judicial
fairness. There is hardly a lawyer of
the bar of this city but resents indig
nantly this cowardly and low attack
made in the Flail on Judge Post It
does look as if tbe cabal in this crush
ing out process do not propose to
save any person."
Congbe8s several years ago passed
a law authorizing the government to
furnish a marble head and foot stone
for every Union Soldier's grave in
tbe country, not otherwise provided
for. Doubtless the members of the
G. A. B. in this vicinity will see that
the law is executed in this part of the
state, it is claimed that tbe stone
furnished is a nice substantial marble
slab, with all tbe lettering necessary,
giving name of soldier, his age, regi
ment, company, date of death, &c. It
is sent to most convenient railroad
station at government expense, on
the guarantee of a responsible person
that it shall be properly placed in
position at the soldier's grave named
in the application.
Two wayfaring gentlemen usually
designated as tramps, called at the
residence of Mr. Webb at Fremont
the other morning and demanded
coffee. The door was closed on them.
They then assaulted tbe mansion with
their fists, while tbe man slave of the
mansion was looking after his muni
tions of war. Webb opened tbe door
with the mouth of his cannon pointed
at the wayfaring gentlemen, and gra
ciously inquired if they were sure it
was coffee they- wanted. 'They con
cluded they didn't want anything.
So sayeth tbe Fremont Herald.

Mr Dear Friends : When I start
ed on this melancholy errard, which
has brought us together here to-day,
I thought that mine was to perforin
the part of an affectionate friend to a
bereaved 'family, rather than to take
the conduct of this religions solemnity.-
I supposed that the Bev. Mr.
Goodale, the priest of this parish,
would be present, and he, of course,
who has lived long among yon, inti
mately knows and is known by you,
would be the proper person to speak
now, when your tenderest sympathy,
and the springs of deeper human feel
ing are moved so mightily. I might
fitly have assisted him, which indeed
I hoped to do.
It seems 'to me, though, that this
occasion demands that something be
said beside the church's appointed
service, so soothing, tender, comfort
ing and hope-inspiring as it is, to
those dear friends who mourn, alas, a
much-loved, but now lost one.
I shall have to ask yon to overlook
my unstudied statements, and to be
lieve that if I do not speak wisely
and worthily of onr departed friend,
I will speak at least kindly and
affectionately.
Friends, this is no ordinary fnneral.
A great man has fallen among us, and
his remains lie now for the last sad
offices of religion, honor and reverend
affection at our hangs.
If Major Frank North had lived in
other days and in other lands than
oars he would have died a Knight or
an Earl and a blazoned coat of arms
would have rested on his funeral pall.
In our simpler and as we believe bet
ter days, he has justly earned the title
of "Nature's Nobleman." Bold as a
lion, gentle as a woman, simple as a
child, be was a pre-eminently grand
representative of the pioneer of Ne
braska, he has made himself an honorable-place
in the history of onr
state, in the civilization of the great
west. His name is known to this
great nation, associated with noble
actions. He will live in story as long
as we are capable of appreciating the
brave, the simple-hearted and the
true. Those who knew him by rep
utation admired"him, to know him
personally was to love him.
Called by the loss of his father to
the dignity and responsibility of a
man when but a mere child, he be
came the prop of a noble and dear
mother, and under the guidance of tbe
orphan's father he grew into a famous
defender of the frontier settler,, an
industrious and successful developer
of the great resources of this new
state, and a wise and conscientious
representative and adviser of the
people.
It may be said in justice to the old
old settlers of Nebraska that their
homes, for love and tenderness, for
pnrity, fidelity and simplicity, are
among the most beautiful models to
be found in any country. The found
ers of these homes are fast falling
around us now. The places that
knew them, know them no more, tbe
long-familiar faces are fast becoming
loves memories. As we follow the
solemn processions, hear the oft-repeated
"ashes to ashes," count the
empty places oy tne old nresides, a
chilly sense of desolation creeps over
us. Shall we see their like again?
Among these old model homes, our
heritage from the past and our earnest
for the future, was the home of our
dear departed friend. And it might
be truly said that the teachings and
example of the respected and revered
mother of our deceased friend had
much to do in forming -his character.
Brave and merciful as a soldier,
trusted, tried and true as a citizen, as
a neighbor the esteemed, loving and
loved friend of every man and the
enemy of none, he was an affectionate
and dutiful son, a tender, loving in
dulgent husband, and a most thought
fully and self-deny ingly fond father.
No matter how or where enraged
hardly one day was ever permitted to
pass by him without writing to his
daughter.
Now his story is told, his struggle
is passed and he has early gone to his
rest. His history is brief but event
ful, and one of which none need be
ashamed.
The changes and chances of this
mortal life threw him into a strangely
mixed and confused whirlpool of
humanity. He mixed as indeed he
had to mix with the bad as well as
the good, but he was always tbe same
good man and true. 8ince it has been
my privilege to know the North fam
ily, now these seven or eight years, 1
have felt a pride in this man as a citi
zen of my adopted state, a friend and
a brother.
As his remains lie here before us,
and his memory must be ever with
us; as a sacred thing, we cannot but
be sadly impressed with the vanity
and fleeting character of all earthly
hopes and relations. .What more?
Only this. My dear friends, may
God help each of yon, and may he
help me, in the midst of, this poor
world of dying men, sorry partings,
and sad farewejls, to have our faith
so fixed on the Liviag,LovingOne,and
our hope so anchored on the Bock of
Ages, that, life's fitful fever over, we
may have a sure resting place in
Him, and that at the glorious Easter
Day we may wake to a happy meet
ing and unending re-union.
