The anniversary of the signing of
the Dawes bill by the president of the
United States was celebrated at the In

Thayer and Secretary of State Cowdery
of Lincoln were among the prominent
guests. Miss Lucia Wilson of Fremont,
gave several selections in elocution.
Among the features of the program was
the singing by chorus or a hundred
voices of Indiana This was the most
interesting occasion in the history of
the school and Superintendent Backus
is being congratulated all around.
Farmers are laying onl their pro
grams for the spring work. It might le
well enough to consider whether it
wouldn't be more profitable to have u
greater variety of products, and a great
er variety of farm animals, from which
to raise money for taxes, groceries, dry
goods, machinery, etc. Whatever will
assist in bringing the two ends of the
year together to the advantage of the
farmer, we are all interested in seeing,
for when he prospers every other line of
business prositera, and when he lang
guishes, all other industries (and they
are built upon agriculture), go short.
The farmer's problems are thus vitally
important to everybody, and an interest
ing study.
This western country must manufac
ture. The freight on corn, oats and
wheat to our nearest market on account
of bulk must for all time he many times
greater than starch, oatmeal, crackers
and the many other articles made from
these raw materials. The freight on a
car load of enred meat to Chicago is no
more than tho freight on n car load of
live hogs to the same place. The car of
cured meat represents ten cars of live
hogs. It is worth as much more as the
cost of labor in butchering and curing.
So long as the west sends its hogs to
Chicago to have them butchered, its
corn to the east to the starch factories,
then buys the same hogs and corn back,
paying for all the labor, freight both
ways, and commission men there and
here too, we may expect to have our
balance on the wrong side of the ledger.
York Republican.
D. J. Poynter in the Albion News
suggests that, as the salaries of the offi
cers of general, state and municipal gov
ernments are fixed by law, even to the
remuneration of 'bus and hack drivers,
why wouldn't it be a good scheme to
elect a commission to fix the price of
labor? Then, on this basis, the price of
all products, from farm, mine and facto
ry could also be fixed. Can any man
give any good reason why such a thing
should not be done? Just because it
never has been so is no reason why it
should not be. Do you say it would in
terfere with competition? Such an ar
gument will apply with equal force to
county officials. Let us take off the fixed
salary and see if aspirants wonld not
compete so strong for the positions as to
serve the county for next to nothing. A
state office is sometimes purchased with
a price to exceed the salary. If men
want position so badly, why not take off
the lawful salary and leave 'the matter
open to competition? Maybe aspirants
would give the county or state some
thing to let them serve it. But you say
this is absurd well, so is the other. Fix
the price of all labor, the same as sala
ries of oficers are now fixed, and then
we will have settled times and no more
I trasts, combines and strikes."

Ed. Columbus Journal: In these
days of great reforms I am glad to note
that our township fathers are Lot be
hind. I noticed the other day that a
petition is being circulated in this town
ship praying the county board t employ
an expert to examine the county records,
with a few signers already on said peti
tion, but on looking the petition over
found nothing stating from what year to
begin nor when to end, but may be they
will circulate another later on to that
effect Said petition also requested to
have the justice's dockets of the county
examined by experts. It might, perhaps,
be a good idea, as I heard it claimed not
long ago that a certain heavy fine im
posed by a justice in this town nearly a
year ago was not paid into the county
treasury yet, but if such is a fact it
seems to me that it might be got with
out any great expense, as I would sup
pose the county board, or rather the
supervisors of the different townships
could report such to the county board
(provided they were not too anxious
for re-election), and the board certainly
could get what fines there might be in
the justice's hands paid into the county
treasury without any great expense to
the county.
Now, Mr. Editor, perhaps the gentle
man was in so great a hurry about get
ting out said petition, bo he forgot what
he was about; so I will give you my
views on that subject. I am decidedly
against any examination that will only
go back a few years, but on the other
hand, I am certainly in favor ot an ex
amination, if it goes back fifteen years
or even more, so as to compare township
supervisor and county commissioner
government and as I believe Platte
county records have never been exam
ined 1 would prefer to have them exam
ined back to 1870. x.

As usual, there will be some changes
in farmers: Edson Ives moves on the
Cunningham farm; Wilke will move to
his farm, purchased in Hamilton county,
soon; C. W. Kingston has sold his farm
to Mr. Waggoner of Illinois and will
move on the property occupied by C. C.
Gray for the summer.
The dark clouds and heavy wind Fri
day made some think another blizzard
was coming; the wind blew nay and
straw around some, but suffice to say
onr weather here is preferred to the
weather in Illinois where it is cloudy,
damp, vegetation growing, corn mould
ing in the crib, etc.
