disapproved by the Mayor, then passed
over the veto.
McNeese is very fond of wild geese,

Our friend, L. M. Hoag has become
quite an artist, so to speak. We knew
he was a most excellent elocutionist and
a good musician, but never until last
Friday did we hear of his ability as a
painter. It is hardly in the landscape
line that he is a success, his forte leing
portrait, and we understand his work, so
far at least, has all been with scarlet.
Don't ask him to explain, or he may
fire at you with his paint brush.
-In another place we print a song
found in one of the children's singing
books, and you may be sure that when
the children sing it at school they have
the laugh on the parent, if he or she
happens to be at the school for the first
time. Jokes aside, there is more truth
than poetry in the song, and parents,
more especially those who have children
attending school, should take heed and
go see them once in a while at their
mental work-shop.
A pile of ties near the U. P. round
house on fire Monday night at 11 o'clock
aroused everybody including the Hook
and Ladder lads, and just about as ev
erybody was retiring to bed again the
fire-alarm sounded and all the locomo
tives in the yards screamed alarm, when
it was found that the roof of the U. P.
coal sheds was on fire in two places. It
was allowed that the kind of paint used
on the building saved it from perishing
in the flames, but it is true nevertheless,
that the waterworks again saved the
day. "Water was poured through 1,200
feet of hose from the hydrant at the
Clother House.
At the county convention of democ
racy Saturday last James Burrows was
elected chairman and Geo. Lehman,
secretary. The following gentlemen
were selected as delegates to the state
convention at Omaha, May 2d: R. L.
Rossiter, J. E. North, R. H. Henry, Geo.
Lehman, D. F. Davis, C. E. Fields, J. J.
Sullivan, Michael Maher, Thos. Ottis,
L. Leach, G. A. Schroeder. A resolution
was adopted instructing the delegation
to use their best endeavors to secure the
election of Hon. J. E. North as a dele
gate from Nebraska to the National
convention. As a disinterested specta
tor of democratic political maneuvers in
this state the Journal begs leave to say
that no man in the state has probably
given more time, attention and valuable
aid to the democracy in the last few
years than "Jim" North, as everybody
calls him.
E. Corben, the very efficient super
intendent of the bridges of the Union
Pacific Co. is here looking after the rail
road bridge across the Loup. Ever
since the bridge was constructed it has
been found necessary to strengthen the
pirs by stones cast into the stream at
the foot of the piers. In 18S6 there were
a hundred and ninety-five carloads used,
forty to fifty loads around each pier,
piled high. These all disappeared from
view and in 1887, eighty car loads more
were thrown in. Now again similar
work is being done, but with much larg
er stones. Questioned as to a founda
tion for our new wagon bridge across the
same stream lower down, he gave it as
his opinion that heavy oak piles should
be driven down, close together, sawed
off level three feet below the lowest
water mark, these capped by heavy
plank bolted down and these cross
capped in the same manner. Upon such
structures, after filling all interstices
with stone, and then riprapping, erect
the stone piers, and he believes our
foundation for the new bridge would be
ccure.

BY xas. PAOC
In editing this column we do not ex
pect to write anything new upon the
subject of mnsis. It will be our aim to
keep before the public the musical in
terests of Columbus in particular. To
give short reviews from the great world
about us in regard to musical culture
and methods of teaching, with articles
upon the different forms of musical com
position, the symphony, fugue, sonata,
etc. Among the aesthetic requirements
of the present day a knowledge of music
occupies a prominent place. No educa
tion is considered complete that does
not include this interesting element in
its curriculum, and its absence leaves a
conspicuous void where it has been
omitted. How important, then, that no
point be neglected, no proposition left
unconsidered that has even tho slightest
bearing upon so necessary an acquire
ment. At present pure art is the prop
erty of the few, though it is designed for
the many. To bring art before our
readers in a comprehensive manner is
our chief motive in undertaking this
new work. Poor music, such as may be
called poor when compared with the
best, has always existed and will contin
ue to exist so long as the masses do not
study music as an important part of
their education. Many people who have
reached a high degree of literary culture
have a very crude musical taste. Such
have wants of their own and are justifia
ble in seeking satisfaction according to
their ability to appreciate. While we do
not condemn them, as a teacher we con
sider ourselves a missionary in the cause
of truth, and deem it our duty to win
them over to that which is good and
pure. At least we must do what we can
toward that achievement, believing if we
have aided in advancing art even to a
very limited degroe, we have not lived
in vain.
--
We hope to gather interesting facts
concerning the different musical socie
ties of Columbus and especially of the
"Maennerchor," "St. Cecelian" and "La
dy's Musical." The last named was or
ganized Feb. 29, 18S8. by Mrs. J. G.
Reeder and promises to bo a school of cul
ture to all interested. Tho first difficul
ty that arises is that of learning new
pievrs for each recital. The road to sne
eeys is paved with jagged rocks- we are
to hammer them out one by one.
The program for Etister Sunday at the
Episcopal church of this city reflected
great credit upon the choir. In no ono
place is poor music to bo so greatly
deprecated as in divine worship. Thor
ough choir practice makes good congre
gational singing and the study of the
higher forms of musical compositions in
choirs would do much toward elevating
the popular taste.
Itemize the Arrnnuts.
Wo aro in receipt of a communication
from a valued correspondent, John Walk
er, Esq., a former county commissioner,
urging the propriety of an itemized ac
count of the receipts and expenditures
of the county.
The Journal has always believed this
to be tho best way, but it is sometimes
difficult to bring officials to your way of
thinking. Mr. Walker has been there
himself and knows how that is.
The better way always, with public
affairs, is "to conduct them in the full
light of day, with the least secrecy and
the utmost publicity. Doing this, a
statement of receipts would show the
sources whence derived, whether from
land or personal taxes, fees collected by
officials or what not, and the expendi
tures would show to whom money was
paid, the date and amount, and for what
service or material. Then, being certi
fied by the proper officials and published
so that tax-payers may study their own
affairs and become acquainted with the
business being done for them by their
agents, the officials, a better state of
feeling will prevail. The people will
kno.v something, at least, of what they
are doing by proxy. They will know,
at least, who is getting the money and
why they are getting it. Too much
publicity cannot be given, and, while in
the published proceedings from time to
time, the amounts of bills are given, it
would not be out of place to give all
together in the annual statement.
Columbas Ahead Again.
Thero is no discount on the way in
which Columbus men go at a business
enterprise. TIub has recently been again
demonstrated by the contract made for
the completion of the street railway.
Everything has been provided for in
first-class shape, and the contract let to
Robison & Mosn of Waterloo, la., to fur
nish everything to put the line in run
ning order, even-thing except the horses,
and these gentlemen are to have their
work done by the first of June, 1888.
They are a good responsible firm, and
have done a large business in the wes
tern country, and Columbus may well
congratulate herself on the business
ability of tho men having this matter in
charge, and who will see to it that ours
is as good a street railway as any there
