javige.
J. N. Julian, our candidate for county
Judge, is well known throughout the
county. While he is a German by birth
. he .is thoroughly American in his sym
pathies aad habits. He is a lawyer by
- profession and is undoubtedly one of
the most thoroughly educated men in
his profession in the state. He is one
of -the careful, painstaking sort, and
while he appears in court less f requerit-
. ly than some others, the caeca in which
he procures settlements and compro-
- mises among .his' countrymen would
make quite a docket in themselves. A
.thoroughly educated lawyer, of sober,
careful and painstaking habits, we feel
.satisfied that if dected he will fill the
.important oatce of county judge with
credit to himself 'and to the satisfaction
. ef-the people.
Mr.'Kiuanis one of that class of men
who .take care to execute trusts spec-
-ially confided to '-them by their fellow
dtizens, and this is the clam of men
needed for public functions men who
know then duty and do the same fear

public.
They may not always agree with you

'they fill public functions as the law

This quality Is oae that cannot with

their judiciary with any other motive in

Mrs. Briadley is 'siakisg a popular
candidate. She is sot Bsglectxas; her
business of teaching school to elec
tioneer, but is keeping right along with
her regular work. It is not necessary
for her to tell any stories either her
life in Platte county since her early
youth tells what no mere campaign talk
for effect can do in the way of convinc
ing fair-minded people of her ability to
conduct the affairs of the office of super
intendent of schools of Platte county.
What is needed in that office is a
scholar, and -one thoroughly informed
in methods of imparting instruction.
Besides this, a superintendent is under
obligation by reason of the duties of the
office to "visit each of the schools of the
county at least once in each year, to ex
amine carefully into the discipline apd
modes of instruction, and into the pro
gress and proficiency of the pupils, and
to make a record of the same, and to
counsel with teachers and district boards
as to the course of study to be pursued,
and for the improvement of the instruc
tion and discipline of the school; to note
the condition of the school house and
appurtenances thereto, ami to suggest a
place for new school houses to be erect
ed, and for warming and ventilating the
same, sad for the general improvement
of the school house and grounds; to
promote, by public lectures and teach
ers' institutes, and by such other means
as he may devise for the improvement
of the schools in the country, and the
elevation of the character and qualifica
tions of the teachers thereof; to consult
with the teachers and school boards, to
secure general and regular attendance
of the children of the county upon the
public schools."
In the above paragraph alone, (which
we copy from the law), there is a large
field for useful work, and it is by no
means all that the law expects and re
omree of the superintendent for his
$100 a month.
It is not necessary nor becoming in
our county superintendents of schools
to pass the greater portion of their time
at the county scat, when it is well
known that thoy do not visit the schools
there, cad we undertake to say for Mrs.
Bricdley that she will make the law
prescribing her duties, her rule of con
duct in that and every other particular.
We ask our readers to take note now of
.the above important functions and du
ties of the superintendent as laid down
in the law, and after Mrs. Brindley is
well along in her first year's work give
us your opinion of what she is doing to
earn the money that Platte county will
bo paying her.
The people of the United States
learned long ago that there is no sex in
education. By far tho greater number
of teachers of tho country are ladies,
and their employment during the last
forty years, not only in .the public
schools, but also in academies, semina
ries, colleges and universities, as well as
superintendents of private and public
educational institutions, has been fully
justified by the work they have done,
and the progress they have made, un
precedented in tho world's history, dur
ing the same length of time.
There is abundant reason to believe
that where lady teachers, (eminent for
good moral character and teaching abil
ity, as in Mrs. Brindley's case), are
selected as county superintendents they
give excellent satisfaction.
C. C. Carrig.
The candidate for county treasurer
was born at Freeport, Illinois, Dec. 7,
1857.
He was educated in common schools
and graduated in Davenport Business
college.
He moved to Nebraska with his father
in 1869, and has lived. in Shell Creek
township ever since.
In the two years, 1879 and '80, he
Bcrved as deputy under John Stauffer,
county clerk, nnd gavo excellent satis
faction. .
He went into the mercantile business
in 1883 at Platte Center.
Mr. Carrig has a wife and two chil
dren; has a host of friends; is a splen
did business man; is interested with the
rest of us in the moneyed welfare of tho
county; in the reduction of taxes; in
keeping the finances straight and every
thing as it should be. The treasury will
be safe in his hands, and you will not
find anybody holding strings over him
or tho money of the county under his
charge.

Washington, Sept. 23. John Sowers,

Cuba, who was imprisoned by General
Campos and subsequently ordered to
leave Cuba passed through Washington
on his way to his home at Warrentown,
Via. He will return to Washington in
a few days to present his case to the
r.tate department. Sowers claims that
he was in no wise identified with the
insurgents, but was nevertheless im
prisoned by Campo's orders for 10 days
and subjected to many indignities.
When released he was forced to leave
Cuba on 24 hours' notice. The brief
time allowed did not give him an op
portunity to arrange for the departure
of his wife and children, who are still
in Cuba. Mr. Sowers will ask the state
department to demand a heavy indem:
nity for interfering with the rights of
taw abiding American citizens. Mr.
Sowers says he believes the Cubans will
be successful in achieving their inde
pendence. "They are fighting," said
he. "not so much against the Spanish
and destructive to their interests.'

CONVENTION
OF IRISH SOCIETIES.
Fully-nteeei
CmiCAQO, 8ept. S4. The great com
ventioa of Irish societies opened ia Y.
M. C. A. hall at 10 o'clock this morn
iag. John T. Keating, state secretary
of the Aadeat Order of Biberaiaas and
secretary of the local reoeptiom commit
tee, estimate- that there are fully 1,500
fislsgatm in attendance. Thecoavea
tion will last three days. The object of
general interest is the formation of a
aaited open organisation for the
furtherance of the Irish cause. Those
who issued the call for the coavemtion
claim that it is not contemplated that
physicd force shall be used or advised
in the attainment of the independeaee
of the Irish people as a nation unless
such means be deemed absolatdy nec
essary and the object in view be proba
ble of attainment. It is believed the
convention will serve to revive the in
terest and infuse new life into the Irish
cause, both in America and in Great
Britain.
DISREGARD THE SEATTLE ORDER.
Jade JeakhM Iateade to
dlettoa Over tho Northera
Milwaukee. Sept. 24. AU doubts of
the intention of Judge Jenkins to main
tain jurisdiction over the Northera Pa
cific receivership and of the receivers'
acknowledging his jurisdiction aad dis
regarding the order of the Seattle ooart,
were removed when Judge Jenkins en
tered an order requiring all parties with
preferentid claims arising from the re
ceivers' operation of the Wisconsin
Central lines and the termind proper
ties in Chicago to make answer to a pe
tition of the receivers regarding the ad
justment of the claims by Nov. 1. The
petition is in effect that the court
divide the claims equitably between the
Northern Pacific and the Wisconsin
Central, and the Chicago and Northera
Pacific and that in the meantime the
receivers be given permission to pay
oat a largo sum of money. All through
the petition shows a totd disregard of
the order of the Seattle court and it is
evident that the receivers have dected
to have the question of jurisdiction
passed on in this way. The question
of jurisdiction will be raised to the right
of the court to allow the . receivers to
ded with such large sums as are in
volved, and there is little doubt that
Judge Jenkins will find that he has
jurisdiction as he has heretofore held.

ForTHEjotTBHAI.
A Pahllc Library for Velaaihae.
Perhaps there is no one thing so much
needed in onr city as a pablic library.
Many towns of less popalation, wealth
and intelligence are possessors of libra
ries. . The question of founding a library is
not altogether a question of money. If
all the progressive snd philanthropic
persons in our community would be
come interested in this matter, and each
citizen take a proper interest in our
home town, it would be speedily accom
plished. To set the ball to rolling, if the citi
zens would have meetings for the pur
pose of devising ways snd means of
rounaing ana supporting , h wouia ne
an assured reality.
At such meetings committees should
be appointed to interview our moneyed
men and women, and solicit funds for
establishing it.
A man or woman who aids in such
work is a public benefactor and the li
brary would be a lasting monument to
such persons.
Many persons would give money,
many more would contribute books.
Another way of raising money Is by
getting up first-class entertainments,
the proceeds to go for the library.
After a sufficient number of books to
open with is secured, annual tickets
could be sold for not over $1.90 per year,
entitling the holder to use of library.
This money would buy-many more books.
Tbe neit thing would be to secure a
room sufficiently Urge snd centrally
located, to furnish it comfortably and to
establish certain hours when the library
would be opened.
Until such time as the library associa
tion was self-supporting, ladies or gen
tlemen could be found who would
willingly act as librarian, to keep ac
count of books, etc
If our citizens would get to work on
this matter, we might soon have a li
brary snd it eftald be of great benefit to
the public anw would help the repu
tation and tone of our town as well.
The opening of a public library is an
auspicious event in the history of any
city. A higher education is an excellent
thug, but. the better part of oar educa
tion, we give ourselves. A library far-
msnes means ana opportunities Tor this.
- Since reading is the key that reveals
to us the whole world of thought and
itnsgiaaiioB, we should not fail to es
tablish in oar midst an institution see
oad, only, to the pablic school. ' .'
There are two nlaawp of reefers, those
who read to be amased aad those who
read to be metraeted. To satisfy this
of taste, books suited to all
b supplied. As Lowell
