A whiter in the David City Tribune makes some comments on the usefulness of -our common-school system as at pres ent conducted; and among other -things inveighs against the youth and inexperi ence of many of the teachers, and is in clined to think, that, the old and ex perienced is not as fully appreciated as she ought to Jbe. :..:-- . - 'Looking over lists of teachers' names, lately, to whom certificates were grant ed, we find side" by side, in the' same' grade the teacner wno, tor years, lias toiled assiduously to not only advance the interests .of his own particular, school, -but also to establish a standard of excellence,' moral and intellectual, throughout the .'country, and the giddy school girl who, perchance, has laid, aside her chewing gum and donned her. long drees on examination day; to suit the occasion. Being armed with' the -necessary" cer tificate, the boy and girl pedagogue sally out, usually in advance of the unassum.-, ing teacher, and engage schools. ' Well, it is a glorious thing to be a school teacher, get. out from under the eye of the 'old folks," gain a little spend ing money, have a good time", and 'make a mash.' Beg pardon, reader, but it sometimes happens that said boy and girl confess a little too loudly, and' we have only quoted original diction. What then? O, .nothing only the 'pure white pa per' of the youthful mind comes un der the-hand of those vernal pedegogites, and the results can be readily ascertain ed by a visit to the school of the vicinity after .a lapse of three or four mouths." The editor adds that in many coun try districts, while experience is in .de mand for alL positions, from stable lxy up, tbo training of the children for use fulness, happiness and success, is the only task for which experience does not appear to be desirable; in some city schools the case is not much different." It is said that the city council of Memphis, years ago, passed three resolu tions, something like this: First, that a new jail should be built by the city; second, that the new jail be built of the material of the old jailjthird that the old jail stand till the new one is built. If the old teachers could always "be patient and active, and not die off, they alone might be employed, but, with all the modern ways of manufacturing teachers to order, in the normal and other professional schools, there must be experience added in the school itself, and, as with the young dentist or the callow medical student, somebody or somebody's children must suffer some of the consequences of inexperience in the teachers, and, even if the inexperi enced but bright and hopeful young miss carries ner "chewing gum" into school, it is not nearly so bad as the ancient " master," who brought his cow hide whip and cud of tobacco, and of the first made daily, almost hourly use, and from the Becond manufactured juice enough to blaeken the floor for years. Until we are ready to imitate the wisdom of the Memphis city fathers, we must submit to some of the inconveniences of having young men and young ladies teaching oar public' schools. What if thegiddy young girl" does fall in love with some of the older boys on a rear seat, or the young gentleman who is teaching his first school and, to the best of his ability, is aiming to give his spare moments to Blackstone,but doesn't suc ceed altogether because of the attraction of one of the bright algebra pupils! Aged teacher, the world looks forward, and over your head if need be, and while it will not ask you to cease work until vou vourself beir off. it will give the young a chance to earn the loaf of bread that sustains life. Float Representative. The convention was held at Genoa Oct 2d, and nominated, as understood it would, without a dissenting vote, Mr. Niels Olson of Creeton township, this county. Mr. Olson was born in the Bouthern part of Denmark in the year 1812. He removed to America in 1861, locating in Illinois for a year; afterwards removed to Milwaukee where he lived a few years. In the fall of 1871 he removed to his present home in Creston township, this county, where he has resided all these long years and enjoyed the respect and confidence of Ins fellow-citizens, as an honest, straight-forward, upright man devoted to the best interests of the pub lic. He is and has always been a farm er, and is a man who cannot be swerved from his line of duty, as lie sees it. Be sides, he has the ability to know the right and the wrong, and to see the bearing of proposed measures. On questions of' railroad legislation, no man in the district would cast a more satisfactory vote. On the question of prohibition, which agitates the public in several quarters of the district, he stands firmly on the re publican platform, the Slocum law, a measure which, passed by the republican legislature years ago, has approved itself to the practical good sense of every community, where they have sought its enforcement in accordance with the sentiment of the community on the subject Mr. Olson has been school director of .his district ever since its organization, and has been a member of the County Board of Supervisors since Platte coun ty adopted township organization. As Nanoe county is likewise working under township organization, this feature of Mr. Olson's equipment for the service of the district "will commend him to very favorable consideration, because the township law needs a good deal -of wholesome amendment, and needs it b"d. Mr. Olson has not been an idle member of the Board by any means, and knows, perhaps as well as any man in the district, wherein the township law should be.amended. iEvery voter in the district, without respect .to "party ties, should think sev eral times .before casting a vote against Mr. Olson; republicans who know Mr- Olson will be glad of the opportunity to 1 cast their vote for a man so well'inform ed, and fio staunch" and true in the line of duty." . .NEBRASKA NOTES. , Walter Tobias's blacksmith shop., at Seward was destroyed by fire one day. last week.

Schuyler Herald.. A dastardly attempt ' at wholesale poisoning was made last-Thursday night on the family of Judge Allen. Friday morning water was drawn from the well of which each member of the family par took, and shortly after they were all taken more or less sick. -An examina tion of the well showed the presence of some kind of powder, and in the water was a sediment of the same thing. A portion of the powder was given to Dr. Bridenstine for examination, and with out chemical analysis, he said it had every resemblance to and apparently was "Rough on Rats." It certainly was some kind of poison for the family was deathly sick for quite a while. The judge was not aware that he had an enemy in the world who would resort to such despicable means of revenge. It was a cowardly trick and if the perpe trator was known, a short rope and a dance on air would be his portion. Madison Chronicle. About 3 p. m. Oct 2d Mrs. George Poffenberger strangled her two children, 1 and 3 years old respectively, and then shot herself with a pistol, at her home in Blue Springs. Her husband is de fendant in a case in the district court in a suit for $5,000,brought by the widow of a man who died two years ago from excessive drink obtained at Poffenberg er's saloon. This suit preyed much on Mrs. P.'s mind. She was an exemplary Christian woman and tried to induce her husband to quit selling liquor. During his absence at court she committed, the triple tragedy. About 2 o'clock her mother left her in apparent good spirits. She obtained a strong cord, strangled both children and shot herself through the heart She left a note to her hus band, saying he was very good, and ad mitted that she was crazy and did not care'to live. In her absence she saw no bright -prospect for her children and would take them with her. After strang ling the children she laid them on a bed, face to face, and covered them with a bed quilt The children's faces were horribly discolored. She then disrobed, put on her night clothes, and was found dead on the floor by the side of the bed. Her husband was notified by telegraph and the case was adjourned to the next term of court in deference to his be reavement A later telegram says: The coroner's verdict in the Blue Springs tragedy last night affirms the facts stated in the previous telegram. Mrs. Poffen berger shot herself twice after strangling her children. She used a corset cord and garter to strangle them. Her hus band ruined his team of horses driving from Beatrice to Blue Springs on re ceiving the intelligence of his wife's suicide. Fears are entertained that he will become insane oyer the tragedy.

A MODEL LETTER. " '. Written Wy Levi PMertoa Accepting the Be paUfcaa XosdaatieBTfce Tariff the Great Ine the CoaatryJImrt Decide. New' York, Oct 2,--Following is Levi P. Morton's letter accepting the nomina tion for vice president: ; . Emm' Cuff, N. Y:, Oct 2. Hon. W. U EtUe. -and Others, Committee Gen tlemen: In making formal acceptance of my nomination as republican candidate for the vice-presiaency, x aesire u ex press my grateful appreciation of-' the confidence reposed in me-by the conven tion. The dnties devolving upon the (.vice president as presiding officer qf the senate, ana m certain conungeucieB pox-, tidpant in legislation of congress, make it proper that the people should know distinctly and unreservedly the political views of the candidate who may be pre- sented for their-avtrages. It fortuiiately happens that this duty far myself. Uy discharged by re. f erring to the principles embodied in the resolutions 'unanimously adopted -by the national convention. These resolutions, unequivocal and comprehensive in char acter, reflect my personal convictions and have my hearty approval. It is difficult, however, in a political campaign to fix popular attention 'on more 'than one issue and in the pending election every voter in the United States clearly sees that the controlling question is whether the protective tariff duties now in force shall be so reduced as to destroy their efficiency, or whether these duties 6hall be retained with such modifications 'and adjustments as shall better adapt them to the great end of protecting the vast and important 'industries of., the whole country. -The. republican plat ' form, while recognizing the .necessity of reducing the revenue, declares that this reduction must not be made 'at the ex 'penseof these industries and of Ameri can .labor.' The" 'American -people -have, now 'enjoyed the protective system for a longer- continuous period "thau ever 'beP I fore in "the history of. the-national gov ernment- The result is .tuat tor more than a 'quarter of a century' they have realized a degree of 'industrial and .finan cial prosperity unprecedented-. in. this country, and never equaled in anyoiher. The pressing reason for once attain trying the' old experiment -of revenue J tariff without protection as the motive or end is that the present tariff .has 'pro duced, and is producing, a. surplus in the treasury, -but- it is now easily within the wisdom -of -congress to. adjust .the income and the national expenditure without sacrificing, or even "imperiling, the industrial systemwhich' has brought untold advantages to- the Country. Ad mitting that the present tariff, by the lapse of - time and large expansion of trade which it has stimulated, needs re vision, is it not wiser and more' patriotic to revise it with careful regard to the interests of protection than with the purpose of 'lessening, its protective' fea tures? " - These are some of the questions which must be answered at the national polls in November. For myself, as a citizen and as a candidate, I do not hesitate to declare that, from long observation, I am the unwavering friend of the protective system. In a business life now extend ing over forty years I have witnessed and compared the effects upon the coun try of a revenue tariff tending to free trade, with a protective tariff en couraging home industries. Under the former the development of the country has always been arrested, while under the latter it has uniformly been pro moted. To men who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows the difference between the two systems is that of nar rowing the chances on the one hand and of expanding opportunities on the other. Free trade would open America to com petition of the whole world. Protection reserves America for Americans, native and adopted. The industrial system of the country is as sensitive as its public credit. A hostile movement creates distrust in the pnblic mind, and confidence, the only basis of successful trade, becomes im paired, new enterprises wither in the bud, capital grows timid; the field of labor is contracted and the pressure for employment inevitably reduces the wages of the workingmen. With the viewB of the convention so frankly expressed in its resolutions upon all other questions of public interest, I find myself in hearty accord. In relation to silver and its important bearing upon the national currency, as well as its connection with and influence on the prosperity of large sections of our common country; in its advocacy of judicious settlement of the public lands policy; in urging the necessity for better coast defence and the duty we owe to the shipping interests of the country this platform but repeats the approved prin ciples of the republican party. The republican platform proposes dis tinctly an American policy, not one of narrowness 'and bigotry, but one broad and philanthropic the policy that best helps the whole world by the example of a great, growing, powerful nation founded upon the equality of man before the law' It is for the American people to develop and cultivate the continent to which, in the providence of God, they have fallen heirs. They should adopt the policy which looks steadily to this great end. With no spirit of narrowness toward other people, but rather in the highest interest of all, they should find under their own flag a field of limitless advance in the direction of the improve ment, prosperity and happiness of man. Very respectfully yours, LEvr P. Morton. Waahiagtoa Letter. LFrom oar regular correspondent. J Brigadier General S. V. Benet, Chief of Ordinance U. S. Army, in his anxiety to help the democratic party has got himself into trouble, as well as the ad ministration. In 1886 he sent a confi dential circular to the commanding officers of the national armories at Springfield, Masa, and Rock Island, 111., and the United States arsenals at New York, West Troy, N. Y., Philadelphia, Pa., Boston, Mass., and Benicia, Cal., ordering them to discriminate in favor of democrats in the employment and discharge of employes of every grade, including women and children. The secret was well kept, and was only re cently discovered by the widow of a re publican soldier, who, together with' her child, was discharged from the Rock Island arsenal. She demanded of the commandant the reason of her discharge and he showed her a copy of the confi dential circular of Gen. Benet's. The matter has created great indignation here, as it is the first time that any man has attempted to manipulate the army affairs in the interests of either political party. Gen. Benet makes no attempt to deny or palliate his offence; he says it was done on the advice of Secretary En dicott for the purpose of making places for the democratic congressmen who were bringing great pressure to bear on the secretary. Whether this case of -the plainest violation of the civil service re form law will be looked after by Senator Hale's investigating committee, or whether it will be brought up separately before the whole senate has not yet been fully decided upon, but the universal sentiment among the fair-minded men is that Gen. Benet and Secretary Endicott should be pushed for this gross violation of law. The idea that army officials, as a class, are honester than other men has just re ceived a terrible set-back by the dis covery, of great frauds in the building of the aquaduct tunnel, which is intended to increase the water supply of this city, which is being built under the'supervis- lon or army engineer pincers, xne tacts already .discovered show conclusively that the army officers have beencmiltv of criminal neglect' of duty, if of nothing worse, congress proposes to go into a thorough investigation of the -whole scandal, to find the guilty party or par ties, and to 'see that they are properly punished. To' all. of which, the long suffering citizens of 'Washington, add a fervent Amen. Dan. Lamont -went over to New York last week to see if he could do anything! to improve the rapidly waning fortunes of 'Cleveland in that state. His mission was not successful. He was .quietly in formed by. the local politicians that the best thing he could do for Cleveland was to keep his hands off aud go back to Washington. " '.The'republican substitute for the Mill bill was not reported to the senate to day, as it was expeciea .n wouia be. The delay is caused by the democratic members of the committee who have not vet Drerjared their reoort Thv v it will Hn naitr in two nifliroa Jan. if it is-tk bill will be reported thk MmmenM capacity. She supplies fabrics w .. mnr ww w-v v " my LHa A week. The tables are completely turned upon the -democrats. They have- been complaining of the slowness of the re publicans in 'preparing -their bill, and now the republicans have got their bill ready to report and they have to wait for-the democrats. The bill is a very long one. Jt- took the clerk of the com mittee - nearly four hours .to read it aloud. : The big -Harrison 'and Morton ball was received' here Friday evening.by the republican clubs and rolled, up through the principal streets to the' headquar ters of the Republican National' League, where an ent'uusinslfe meeting was held. Among the speakers ware -Senator Dolph, Representative Johnson, Honek, Per kins, and others. The big lull started west from-- hqre. It will go through West Virginia Ohio and 'Indiana, aud there' is a possibility of its going lis far as the Pacific coast. '". . .-""-. Clerks' in. the departments here --have all'"ree"eived- circular letters "from' the democratic national committee, asking them to contribute to the campaign fund.' This, in addition to the personal solicitation of. the. local ''democrats, makes the' government clerk's, life any thing" but a pleasant one just now. The house has not.had a quorum for a week past, and little business of pnlt lic'importanrce has been transacted.. It is thought that the .house will not have a quorum present until after election. Senator Chandler's' resolution provid ing for. an investigation of the Louisiana election 'brought on a sharp, 'personal, and -political debate in the senate, in which Senator Coke tried to see how often lie could, violate the rules of the senate by using unparliamentary langu age. Senator Gibson nlade a speech on the same subject the day before, in 'which he virtually admitted that the elections in his state (Louisiana) were controlled by the whites irrespective of the nnmlterof votes east and he strong ly intimated that it was no business of the senate's. Senator -Sherman", from the senate committee on foreign affairs, reported his resolution looking to closer and bettor commercial and political rela tions with Canada, and it was placed on the calendar. Mr. Sherman stated that it was not tho purpose of the committee to push this measure to a vote at the present session, and probably not at the next it being such an important matter. In the meantime it may be called up at any time that 'a senator desires to speak on the subject. Cleveland's Canadian Retaliation bill is believed to do sleeping its last sleep in the quiet room of the senate commit tee on foreign affairs. The senate has passed a bill giving Mrs. Gen. Sheridan a pension of $300. Senator Stewart has introduced a very comprehensive Chineso bill. It prohib its Chinese laborers from entering the country and compels those already here to be registered.

Adrian, Mich., Oct 4. Mr. Blaine spoke at the fair grounds this afternoon to about 12,000 people. Premising with a reference to a letter published in a democratic'journal at Detroit on the 3d inst, and addressed to him over the sig nature of W- Stearns, the democratic congressional candidate, Mr. Blaine said that whether it was intended to be cour teous or not the letter would receive from him a courteous reply. He -continued: The writer wants to know why, in the house of representatives, in 1868, 1 op posed a tax on lumber and why I am now in favor of continuing the tariff on lum ber. My questipner has evidently con sulted the official record, for he cites a page and date of the Congressional Globe. If he will again make the same reference he mil find that I opposed an internal tax on lumber and that this had nothing whatever to do with the tariff tax on lumber, except as it made the tariff more effective. That was a time when we were taxing everything on ac count of the great increase of our na tional debt I maintained then, as I maintain now, that it was unwise to impose upon breadstuffs or lumber an internal tax, which increased by the amount of the tax the cost to the con sumer in the United States. If the gen tleman cannot distinguish between an internal and a tariff tax, I will explain the difference. Cries of "Oh, he doesn't know it." As to that I express no opinion other than that the jury of the vicinage seems to be against him. The internal tax is one that does not protect any American industry, but takes just that much out of an industry. It is a tax which in this country is levied (ex cept on a very few articles) only in war times. Jt is the same as the excise which has for generations been a tax in Great Britain. It is the same against which the people of portions of the Uni ted States came near rebelling during Washington's administration. We are in bettor order now and we pay every tax that is levied, but the United States, in the judgment of the republicans. ought to raise all the money they need for the support of the government from the tariff, because the tariff gives the American laborer and every industrial interest in our country a great advantage over a foreign laborer, and the industrial interests of other countries, and aids in building up a great home market which is something that the United States possess today beyond any nation on the globe. I have said that I was opposed to every tax except the tariff tax. I make one exception. I am in favor of continuing the tax on whisky, except on.that which is used in the arts and in medicines, as proposed in the new tariff bill reported to congress. A voice, "why?" I will tell you why. I am in favor of it because J think the tax tends to make the price a little higher; to lessen the number of those who would purchase it as a drink. That is my own reason, and the only reason, namely, that for every restriction upon a vice that can be confined (and the drinking of liquor is a great vice) you gain so much from it But that consid eration Xdo not regard as of paramount importance in the discussion of the great and leading question which is at issue, because it does not have a feather's weight in deciding that which the Amer ican people must decide, and upon which they must now win or lose for a generation. I repeat that the question at issue in 1888 must be decided one way or the other for a generation. If the protective tariff is lost in this election not any of you who are careless of your votes can. flatter yourself that it may be caught up next year or the year after. You 'will not have an opportunity for many years, to reverse your verdict of this case. The democrats who are as sailing the tariff well know that if they lose this year and the cause of. protec tion triumphs, they 'are beaten finally, and for this generation. It is a joining of issues for a final combat such as has hot occurred in this, country on that question since 1833;' and every voter within the hearing of my voice may take my .word for. it, whichever party tri nmphsthis year triumphs for the whole time for which they will be actors onthe political stage. So -that the effect, of your votes now is not confined to this year or the next, but will in all proba bility be felt for all time 'throughout which you may take part in political affairs. The question comes to this. Great Britain is a manufacturing country of I ii i w i i u . irf w to millions of people throughout the world. (She has 200,000,000 subjects in India, all of whom she supplies.).' She has in Australia practically a monopoly of the supply, ana she has. South Africa and her colonies here and there-over the whole globe.- Bat there is one market in. which 65,000,000-of the most intelli gent people on- the 'globe are purchasers and. consumers a market which she knows is larger, better and grander than all the other markets combined that-of the -United States of America.. She knows' that 'if she can'get into that mar ket it means -a "revival of her trade to an' extent such its' baa not bae.n known-for a century, and such -as could not exist, until the United States hntl attained its E resent 'power and 'greatness. 'Great Britain sees an entrancein'to bur market, and the-democratic; .party, following the lead of President Cleveland; is .'doing everything it, can to destroy tlie. home market of this country and -give a-large share of it to nations beyond the sea: -To. begin with, they say "let us have no duty on wool; why Bhonld you give.the pro tection to wool;' why not say td Austra lia, bring your wool .hero-and 'you will have just as good a market in this coun try as the American himself lias for his wool?" They say- to- Canada,'- "every: thing you can raise, every vegetable product, your grain, your dairy, shall come .here and have -just- -as good a chance under the American Hag as the products of our own people have,-who pay taxes to support our-governmentr They say to all the people of the globe, to those who produce- salt, aa to all others, "Come,hero and you ahull have just as good a chance in our- market as" the state of Michigan has in supplying salt and so on with the whole list of home products. As to each' principal staple or the two or three leading staples of each state they'make the declaration j" that these products, in the'production-of which so many American citizens are laboring, shall not be marketedunless it be in direct competition with " tho pro ducts of foreign nations, of nations who pay no taxes to support the government of the United States, and are not in any way interested in the government of the United States, Is that fair play? That the state of Michigan, of which I sup pose there are nearly 2,000,000 of people who contribute yonr share to the sup port of the state and national govern ment should have no more of right and receive no more of favor under the flag of your country than is given to and received by a man who lives in a foreign country and beyond the sea? Is that ordinary fair play between man and man? rCrieaof"No!No!" There is an advantage in free trade under certain conditions and with cer tain limits. With a population of 65, 000,000 in the thirty-eight states and eight territories, we have 3,500,000 square miles of territory, with 17,000 miles of ocean front Throughout that vast area, nearly equaling in extent that of Europe, but with an ocean frontage more extend ed than that of Europe, Americana have, among themselves, around their own hearthstones and firesides, absolutely free trade. We do not erect barriers on our stato borders to prevent free com munication. A citizen of one state who has for sale a particular article that is better or more Saleable than a similar article offered in another state can come down to Maine, to New York or toKew England, or he can go to California or Oregon and he will not encounter on the way custom house officers or tax collect ors. So that as a matter of fact (and I have brought that aspect of the ques tion to the attention of the people be yond the sea) wo enjoy the blessing of free trade to an extent to which they have never been carried heretofore, be cause of our vast territorial area, and the many millions of our people. But bear in mind, that is free trade among our selves; that is the intercourse between members of the one great family of the American people, to which every stato is guaranteed as a home to him who choos es to locate therein, and to whom every right of citizenship is secured in all states alike. But when you come to free trade with those who are not of our national family, who pay no taxes to your government who-are alien to us and who live beyond the ocean; when you come to consider whether they shall enter into our home market, we say it is another question. There comes the great doctrine of protection. Let me say here that the principle of pro tection cannot bo applied in every coun try with equal advantage and profit. It is of peculiar and lasting benefit to the United States because our country is a world within itself. If the United States was a little narrow country with only one or two leading products, the prob able result of an attempt to protect those products would be an increase in their price among ourselves. But ours is a country that extends from the At lantic to the Pacific, from the gulf to the lakes; from latitude 23 on the bor ders of the tropic of cancer, to latitude 49, way off on the borders of British Columbia. Our products range in va riety from the semi-tropieal in southern California to those of the north, and among them are the cereals, the fruit, cotton, wool, hemp, and so on. We have a world witnm ourselves, and so uni versal is the principle of protection and so varied in its application that it can not be said that one man is protected at the expense of his neighbor. Every pur suit and every product which would come in competition with the handicraft and the commodities of other people, receives its share of benefit under the efficient protective system of the United States. When in England they talked to us about free trade. I tell them they do not understand it in its relation to our selves. In a word, we have absolute free trade among 65,000,000 of our own people, and we have protection against the 1,400,000,000 of people who live out side of our domain. I understand my duty to be to look out for those 65,000, 000 of people at home. There was an old saying that the city oi .brogue was tne cleanest city or Eu rope. And the reason was that every man brushed his own door steep. These philosophic statesmen like President Cleveland, whe want to look out for free trade beyond the sea and benefit man kind in general, have, I think, a larger job on hand than they will accomplish. A nation like our own, which take3 care of its own interests, is acting ac cording to not only the first law of na ture, but the best teachings of philan throphy, because as we grow richer and more powerful we impress the entire world with the evidences of what intelli gent self government can accomplish for man, without the aid of nobility or royalty. That is the mission of this country. We framed our government without the protection of loners, and in spite of them; we grow strong without the favor of Europe and in spite of it. Today that which in the struggle of 1776 was a litue nation of 3,000,000 has be come a great, overshadowing power in the affairs of nations. . The influence of ourexample is worth more to struggling nationalities and to suffering humanity than all the efforts of the philanthropists. The policy which has been followed is the policy of protection. It is that which built up every industry at home; which has facilitated the interchange of domestic products among ourselves and prevented injurious intrusion from abroad. Long continued applause.
