Resolved, That we recognize the abili ty and integrity of our representative in congress, Hon. Geo. W. E. Dorsey, and that ho is entitled to our thanks for his past services. Hosolvcd, That it is to the best inter ests of the 6tate that they be represented by delegates who are not in tho employ or under tho control of tho railroads in this state, and this convention therefore instructs its delegates to the state and district conventions to use all honorable means to prevent the election of such men to represent the Third district or the state of Nebraska in the national convention at Chicago. Further, that this resolution be presented to tho dis trict and state conventions as declaring the sentiment of the republicans of Platte county. Moved and carried that we now ad journ. Geo. N. Hor-KiNS, Ch'n. J. I. Robison, Sec'y. Dorsey Renominated. Tho convention at Norfolk Monday evening did what nearly everybody ex pected would be done, that is, renomi nated George W. E. Dorsey of Fremont as representative in congress from the Third district The only contest that arose was on the order of business, whether the nomi nating of congressman should come be fore or after the naming of delegates to the national convention. This was con sidered as a fair test of the strength of the anti-Dorsey element of the conven tion. Tho vote was 02 against 220, and the nomination of congressman was made first The names of Darnell and Meikeljohn were withdrawn and Mr. Dorsey was nominated by acclamation. W. M. Robertson of Madison and Aaron Wall of Loup City were selected to represent the district in the national convention next month, the vote stand ing: Wall 211; Robertson 174; Loran Clark 78; Brewster 8; Heist 122.

The Schuyler Sun is doing most ex cellent work in tho advocacy of Ameri can industries. A recent numlier 6ays: "The tariff has formed a barrier against flooding onr markets with for eign goods until our manufacturers can in thousands of instances sell to us cheap er than wo can buy the imported article after the duty has been paid on it. Re move this tariff and you immediately give tho imjKjrter a chance to put his cheaply manufactured goods on our market in direct competition with thoso produced by our better paid labor. Ob viously then, he can undersell ns. Onr manufacturers would suffer in conse quence and many of them bo ruined. Every farmer should remember that carefully compiled statistics show that we consume 92 per cent, of our grain ourselves, but 8 per cent going abroad. The European nations do not come here for more. They can buy it from the India laborer who works for from seven to ten cents a day, and there will bo their market." A hold but bungling attempt mado at Mansfield. Ohio, at ono o'clock on the morning of tho 5th, at robbery on limit ed express No. 0 of the B. & O. railroad was frustrated by tho prompt action of tho crew and some passengers. The would-be robbers hero entered tho smoking ear and attempted to snatch the watches of throe of the passengers iu succession and secured but one and mado rush for the rear door, only to bo met by Conductor Corwin, who had tak en in the situation and dealt the thief a blow over the head with his lantern, which brought him to the floor. A mili tary oflicer in the car happened to have in his possession a pair of hand cuffs which ho produced and the thief was put in hand cuffs at once. The passen gers talked of ropes and hanging. The thief gavo up the property and begged for his lifo Corwin advised a threshing, which was given tho thief and he was allowed to go and tho train proceeded on its way. The imprisoned anarchists, Samuel Fielden, Nicholas Schwab and Oscar Neebe, havo been consulted as to tho details of a move for amnesty. A mass meeting or sympathizers is to bo called to discuss the matter. Neebe is said to bo rapidly failing, mentally and physic ally, and a separate movement for him may bo made. A writer in tho American Magazine for May, said by tho editor to bo well known to political and army circles, has made a thorough investiga tion of tho extent and enormity of tho dynamiters' organizations, revealing some astounding plans of theirs for the upheaval and overthrow of organized government, and also for a redistribu tion of property. What of right any sensible man can see in tho nonsense and viciousness of anarchists and dyna miters is boyond our comprehension. On tho night of tho 11th inst, a cy clone of tremendous force swept over a portion of northern Indiana. Tele graph wires in a large scope of country are prostrated, and the extent or tho storm can only bo formed from a few scattering reports. At Winslow Siding, on tho Nicklo Plato railroad, a train of sixteen freight cars were lilted, from tho track and distributed across tho sur rounding prairies. At Wanatah a num ber of houses wero unroofed. Three hundred telegraph poles wero leveled in the neighborhood. A statement comes from Greshain, Pa., that three burglars on the night of the 7th entered the house of Mrs. Mary Reynolds. Tho lady was alone, but picked up a hatchet and for a while pluckily kept tho robliers at bay. One of them attempted to seize her arm and secure tho hatchet, but was struck senseless to the lloor by a blow from the hatchet. Ho was hastily dragged from the house by his confederates, who mado their escape. On tho night of tho Sth the wounded robber was reported lying at the point of death at Hydetown. HiH skull is fractured and ho cannot live. James Hudson and Pete R. Allison, wealthy farmers near Wallace, Kas., quarreled May 9th over the loss of cat tle, which the former accused tho latter of taking. As Hudson attempted to escape, Allison grabbed an ax and struck Hudson over tho head, splitting his skull open. Allison's wife, who is in a delicate condition, saw the murder, and her life is despaired of. Allison has not been captured. The train of Miller & Freeman's circus on tho C. & P. railroad about three miles above Steubenville, O., last week, at a deep cut known as the "backbone," met a landslide which throw the engine and fivo cars from the track, piling them up in a confused and broken mass. Engi neer Stillwell, of Wellsville, was terribly scalded and it is feared received internal injuries. Elmer Ellsworth, of Columbus, O., a colored cook was killed. The pas senger coaches containing the perform ers were uninjured. One night last week a cyclone struck the village of Pecatonica, 111., wrecking several houses and innumerable out buildings. One woman and three child ren were injured, but no one fatally, by flying timbers. The storm came all the way from Freeport, accompanying tho evening train part of the distance, and causing havoc along the route. Last week a report came from Helena, Mont., that in October, 1879, John Denn, a wealthy merchant was murdered in his wine cellar and robbed. No clue to the murderer was found. The Herald on the evening of the 7th prints the dying confession by Madam Eckert to her nurse that she murdered Denn with a hatchet. U. S. District Attorkey McRpnr, of Sioux City, la., has been instructed to bring suit against tho state of Iowa to determine the title of twenty-one thous and acres of land in O'Brien county. The lands are a part of the old Sioux City & St. Paul grant, tho company still claiming title to them. The announcement was made last week at Omaha that a circular had been issued announcing the appointment of Wr. I. Allen general superintendent of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska rail road system.

Tho proper authorities for the state of Nebraska order the proper observation of Memorial day, tho 30th of May. Charles Eaton, tho traveling man who was injured in the Alma wreck, died at his residence in Lincoln at 1:30 on the 11th inst. The republican county convention of Wheeler county, passed reiwlutions fa voring the nomination of Hon. W. B. Al lison, of Iowa," for president. Tho candidacy of tho Hon. Patrick Egan for delegate at largo to tho nation al republican convention is said at Lin coln to bo meeting with universal favor. On Sunday last while at Oakland, Rev. Huber, a Lutheran minister of Omaha, was kicked just back of the ear by his horse. Inflammation of tho brain was feared. Henry Koehlor, a young farmer living near West Point was found hanging dead in His barn Sunday morning. He is supposed to havo committed suicide, but no reason is known for the act. Hanz Foster, living four miles north of Palmyra, was kicked on tho head by a vicious horse last Wednesday. Tho blow fractured the skull, lotting some of the brains fall out. Ho will die. Tho individual expression of opinion among republicans at tho Richardson convention who should bo tho candidate for president, showed that Blaine was ahead, with Gresbam a closo second. Tho republican county convention held at Seward on the 9th, took a vote on choice for president, which resulted in favor of Gresham first, Lincoln sec ond, Blaino third and Sherman fourth. Gov. Thayer was present last week at the commencement of the exercises at tho institute for the blind at Nebraska City, where ho delivered an address to the students and presented diplomas to graduates.

After three trials the mother managed to draw the stick out, but the little fellow only gasped twice and expired. A serious if not fatal accident occur red May 9th to Moses Cook, a prominent farmer living near Gibbon. While hitching a team to tho plow tho team took fright, tramping him down, the point of tho plow striking him in tho lower part of tho abdomen, making an opening through which tho bowels pro truded. One of his feet was also hor ribly mutilated. His recovery is doubt ful." Mrs. Gilbert of Omaha committed sui cide last week, it is believed by taking a doso of somo deadly drug. She was tho mother of four children, the eldest bo ing a girl of seventeen. She and the family wero in destitute circumstances, and the husband and father had left homo more than four weeks ago and had not yet returned, all of which facts went to form reasons why she committed the terrible act. Mrs. Frank Runyan was arrested at Nebraska City on a charge of conspiracy to take the life of her husband, a plas terer, and a respectable citizen. Tho woman is in the habit of getting drunk; sho gavo two men a revolver to kill her husband while she went to a saloon to drink. The men followed Runyan, placed the pistol at his head and mado threats that would doubtless have ended in his murder, if the villains had not been scared off by tho approach of citizens.

"In the multitude of counsel there is wiMlom." Eu. Journal. I Farmers, don't let us growl about this weather. It is hard on our stock, puts our corn planting back, gives us terrible roads, and is nasty generally, but mark my word, it is a blessing in disguise and may be worth thousands of dollars to this county. That most destructive of farm pests, the chintz bug, showed its hand somewhat in our midst last season just enough to show what it can do. It has been getting ready by the million to put in its best work the coming season. Had it remained warm and dry I am satisfied our crops would have been de voured to a large extent. These hardy insects could have stood a few days of this weather, but they cannot stand this long stretch. They are too young. If they wero two or three years old as in many states many of them would come through, but ours for tho most part are but a year old and most of them will be killed. Now, here I como to tho point. Let us thank the Lord for tho cold rain, but we must turn in and do our duty. There will bo thousands of theso pests hidden away in comparatively dry places, and wo must finish tin what the rain leaves. Thousands of dollars havo been spent in tho east in experimenting with this chintz bug plague, and it is decided that no other means has been found so efficient in fighting it ns fire. Now, don't let us fail to bum every patch of old grass and stubble, leaves or rubbish of any kind about our fields and premises, as soon as tho weather will permit. In this way I am satisfied wo can finish the job. The only fear is we will not feel the importance of tho matter and not go about it in earnest It is important Any slate or portion of a state that has had failure of crops, with prospect of continued failure does not like to have such fact advertised to tho world, and not much is said abont it, but I havo had opportunity of knowing that some portions of tho states havo been so terri bly ravaged by chintz bugs during the past two or threo years as to cause very serious loss to all kinds of business in some communities and actual ruin to many farmers. In a recent letter Prof. Henry of tho Wisconsin university writes that the farmers in the section of coun try about Madison. Wise., are so dis couraged they hesitate to put in their crops. Two dry seasons in succession have given tho chintz bugs such a foot hold, they fear they will sweep every thing tho coming season. Let us use our opportunity now, even if it costs something. Talk the matter up with our neighbors. I believe it of enough importance to havo neighborhood meet ings called at our school houses to dis cuss the matter. It will be of no use for ono farmer to renovate his premises, if his neighbor allows tho Btray nests of tho bugs on his farm to remain. I do not believe I over estimate the importance oi mis mauer. j. h. n. For Blaine. Editor Jodrxal: Tho evidence accu mulates that there are more republicans in tho United States who desire to ren der justice to Mr. Blaine than a small number of that class out in Nebraska. No ono now can doubt but what ho would have been our president had he not been deprived of it by unlawful elections. No dissenting voice should come from the republican ranks to his unanimous nom ination; if the party should fail to extend to him this measure of justice and equity, it may bo a question whether it would not tend to defeat the next candidate. Justice can and ought to be adminis tered in all political matters, and the party that fails to administer it, do you not believe, deserves defeat? If he is nominated, and tho party does its duty in guarding against fraudulent elections, little doubt exists but what his election is assured. Republican. MUSICAL. BY 3IB3. FADE. MCSICAL FORM. Fugue is a term from the Latin word fuga, a flight, and signifying a composi tion, either vocal or instrumental, or both, in which ono part leads off some determined succession of notes called the subject, which, after being answered in the fifth andeighth by the other parts, is interspersed through the movement and distributed amid all the parts in a desultory manner, at the pleasure of the composer. On the expression of the I fucue we find the following in nn art;! I - t i- . -r . - . "1 on foguea of Bach by J. S. Dwight: "A fugue is the unfolding of a musical germ; it is the development, the opening out, the organic growth of a musical thought, first lying latent in any simple phrase, according to its innate law. In its effect, as yon get it on the grand scale from a multitudinous chorus, it is the theme echoed back, reflected from all quarters, till it becomes all-pervading. One snatch of melody wakes all the echoes through the realm of sound. Just so tho moon puts out one little point of light in tho veiled firmament mid instantly tho clouds aro luminous and overy streamlet glimmers and overy polished leaf and every gilded spire tel egraph the arrival of light aliove. Na ture is full of fugue. Through all hor phenomena there is this tendency of many to ono end. This endless hide-and-seek, of inter-twining, imitative, and yot most sensitively individual lines or curves. The spiral growth of a plant is a fugue. Tho wheat field bowed lwfore the breeze, the swell of tho advancing ocean, wave upon wave, rising and blend ing into tho wholo is a fugue. But per haps the clearest illustration of it is in flame; there you havo tho very outline of its motion visibly iiortrayed a per petual, restless soaring of innumerable little confluont tongues of flamo, all tending upward to ono point. Thus tho fugue kindles and rises, a soaring pyra mid of sounds, and harmoniously-blended rivalry of individuals in eager imita tion and pursuit of ono another. First tho theme -a simple phraso of a few bars, but characteristic and piquant enough to fasten tho mind and provoke inquiry into its relations is uttered by ono part or voice; instantly another takes it up till all aro swept away in mingled pursuit of one another, all possessed, inspired with the one sentiment, yet each ambitious to exceed the others illustration and outdo his testimony. It seems to say that nothing is finish ed, no individual form or existonco com pletes itself, but each and everything relates, refers unto the wholo, and de veloping its own tendencies reveals a world." Tonic Sol-fa is the name of a method and should not havo appeared as it did in tho last issuo of this paper-"tonic sol fa." A slight mistake, due no doubt to our illegible writing. This evening at eight o'clock tho "La dies' Musicalo" will meet with Mrs. Chas. Martin. On last Wednesday even ing new regulations were adopted for tho purpose of strengthening the society and of bringing about a more regular attendance of some members, who aro much missed when absent. For benefi cial chorus work a certain number of voices is desirable the samo voices ov ery time, so it is thought best to limit the number to sixteen and to exact reg ular attendance of that number, so far as practicable. I.KCAL NOTICE. Herman Ibeen, defendant, will take notice that on the 20th day of April, 1SSS, C. W.
