Tn democratic organ of Platte coun
ty, the Telegram, says: "the political cal
dron of Platte county is slow to heat
this year." Doubtless it isnt yet at the
boiling point, but the bosses will- find
that the fuel has all been prepared and
kihvdried, even, so that when the proper

wfflbofl pretty quick.
GkskbaIi Simon Camkbon died at .8
o'clock in the evening of Jane 26th. He
was born in Lancaster county, PeniL,
March 8, 1799, therefore at the time of
his death he was the oldest practical
printer, editor and statesman in the
United States.' He had held the poai-
of secretary of war, minister to
, and senator of the United States.
It is stated in the recent news from
Washington that there will be a large
deficit ia the pension fund the present
fiscal year, so much so, that it will be
'injcuinsnrj- in a short time to stop pay
ments at most of the agencies. The de
ficiency is estimated at toast $8,000,000
in the accounting year, which ends June
30th.
Tn grand jury sitting in the case of
Dr. Cronin's murder returned an indict

indictment against Kunze for murder
was a surprise to the public as he had
sever been arrested, although it is be
lieved he was the man who oalled for
Dr. Grbnin and took him away the night
he was murdered.

"the proper effort" is the Telegram does
act saggest but we -suppose the first
step the ergaa would advise is to "get

asrirmsl polities. Some facetious parti
san quoting Dana, at the same time drew
a picture of the famous editor, with a

public that "our own" J. C. Caldwell ia
a caaflywi for sheriff; we aee no reason

"Wa understand," says the Organ,
"that J. C. Caldwell is being put forward
by his friends in the north part of the
county for sheriff. There are plenty of
aspirants for that position this year, ac
cording to reporta.' There ia no grain
of comfort in this cold-blooded an
nouncement to allay the pain of former
contests. Not even the salve of forget
falneas is invoked, because the last sent
ence is a direct reminder of methods be
fore applied to defeat Mr. Caldwell's
nomination. The bosses will find, as in
several campaigns recently, ihat they
are no longer dictators in Platte county
politics, not even in their own party.
The faithful lieutenants, the township
workers, the private soldiers, the men
who do the voting are not all of them
"like dumb, driven cattle" any more.
They have seen too plainly the utter
selfiehnees of the bosses, and in several
recent campaigns have resented it; they
will do it again if the old methods are
applied. Tn Jomuuxfe advice in sev
eral campaigns was unheeded, and we
here and now tell the bosses they must
give the boys something new in the line
of strategy, or they will be literally eat
upon and squelched. Tour tendency is
toward aristocracy, exclusivenesB; this
will not do. You must cultivate the op
posite virtue, assume it, in fact, if you
have it not The voters of Platte, under
township organization, have become in
quirers, seekers after knowledge; they
ask questions, all of them interesting,
aome of them very important These
questions have not all been answered
satisfactorily, and Boss Tweed's sneer of
"What are you going to do about it?" ia
felt to be the most judicious thing to
nay, at the present moment A thought
ful consideration of that boss's end may
suggest that "it is along lane that has
no turn." Discretion will be the better,
part of valor, by several points, this
campaign the greater the discretion
shown, the greater the valor will be.
There are elements in your party that
you cannot longer wheedle; you have
tried bull-dozing and failed, and it lis
evident by what indications are plainly
in view, that you will try this method
again, and be defeated. Unless you put
your wits to work, devise something new.
and get out of the old rut you will
again fall into the ditch.

slightest confusion. Each department
baa ita competent instructor aad over
aeer, and under these instructors the
pupils an taught to perform, in turn,
every eervioe attaching to the aohool and
all ita branches.
The time required in order to complete
the eourse is five years, and every pupil
must enter the school for at toast three
yean. The course consists of reading,
writing, spelling, arithmetic, drawing,
musio and all common aohool branches,
and such occupations as farming, car
pentry, harness making, shownaking,
tailoring, duaamsaing, etc Certain pa
pils an detailed for each of then de

The boys cut out and make their own
clothing; all the shoes worn by the In
dian students, a vast quantity of har
ness, attend to the farm and assist gen

The girls cut out and make their own
dresses and clothing, learn how to cook,
play and sing, and boys and girls alike
an compelled to attend to their own
rooms and keep them clean, made up
and attractive.
They seem to excel in such branches
as writing, drawing and painting any
thing they can aee. Some of the beet
penmanship we have seen was shown us
here, and one Indian boy, 18 years of age
who never had a teacher in his life, haa
two pointings in yonder large aohool
room that would put many an Omaha ar

and his talent should receive every en

tribes the Sioux, Winnebago, Arapa
hoe, Arickaree, Omaha, Shoshones, etc.
Many of the maidens are charmingly
pretty, many of the boys manly, and aU
of them are exceedingly well-behaved
and eager to learn. To a student of hu
man nature it certainly looks as if these
Indian industrial schools were destined
to solve the vexed Indian problem for
ever. Indians can be civilized. They
can be taught our ways, and it is plain
that they can be eo enlightened as to
become noble and intelligent men and
women. Let the cynical but visit this
school and they will be eooffers no long
er. The school is maintained by an
annual appropriation of $30,000 and
about $150,000 have already been invest
ed in it Two hundred and amy acres
of the land belonging to the school are
under cultivation. An orchard, consist,
ingof 3,600 trees, being one of tbemost
prominent landscape features. AU thai
land is cultivated by the Indian stu
dents, and upon it is raised nearly every
thing that is required in the shape of
food and provisions. Superintendent
Backus is the right man in the right
place. His heart is in his work. He is
humane, watchful, interested. He ie
liked by the pupils and respected, by his
corps of sssktants. To conduct prop
erly such a aohool as this requires a
peculiarly kind, patient tactful, yet firm
and resolute character. Mr. Backus
posewa these Qualifications. He ie
also fortunate in having able and con
scientious assistants. The pupils are
enoouraged in every direction. They
ban their duties, their pastimes, and
their chosen entertainments. There is
an expert Indian bell club, an exoeUent
bran band, a printing office and aohool
iper, and now and men a aance,exni
tinn. tn. Evervthinff possible is done
to render the condition of then dusky
wards of the government pleasant ana
agreeable. The pupils show that they
are wonderfully appreciative. A visit to
this school was, to the writer, a much
needed lesson, and we came away with a
higher and far different opinion of In
dian character and Indian capability.

Every patriotio citizen who realizes that
on the 4th of July, 1776, the few strug
gling colonies (today the proud nation
of the United, States) threw off the op
pressor's yoke and became free and in
dependent should not hesitate to let his
work stand a day and join in praising
the memory of those noble souls, states
men and warriors alike, who aided in
maintaining the declaration that day
made public. When we think of the
possibilities of what we, ourselves,
might be today, had it not been for these
men, no praise should be too high in our
estimation, to extol their merits, and
carry their memory down to posterity.
