An article, reproduced in the Omaha

L. Gerrard was an- Albion visitor
last week.' He tells of a traveling sales
man who was endeavoring .to place on
the market hydraulic rams for irrigating.
Some other traveling men asked him
why he wanted to put more water on

plied. "Why raise more crops,- when
oats sell for 11 cents, potatoes for 18 and
so on? Now, if you could, have a' ma
chine for raising" the price of farm pro-.
ducts everybody almost would invest in I
it" j

is an "extensive . colony of Ohio (Har
rison county) people, at Craig, 'Burt
county, and it will almost seem like the
Buckeye state on a small scale in the
great west. Later They .returned yes
terday. . The Nebraska Hedge -company has
started to do business in the state, and
while it would seem that the concern is
financially responsible, it is a very ser
ious question for- every, farmer to con
sider very' thoroughly about turning
over good money or good promises to
pay before he sees' an actual, .veritable,
stock protector. So far- at. least, the
hedge fence has never been .considered
a success, for Nebraska. If you could
make another good wire fence on both
sides to guard it until it got a good big
start, the hedge might do. .-
The power of the individual voter is
not fully, appreciated, as a rule, either
by the voter himself or by machine pol
iticians. The sovereign in this country
is enlightened public" opinion, using the
-individual citizen as a means to an end.
So far as Platte county people are con
cerned in Platte county affairs, how
stands it? Enlightened public opinion
knows that we need a change from what
we have; need it bad; need it at the
earliest moment we .can get it; need the
change to be. thorough, radical, com
plete; need a change that will signify a
settled policy, and it is for this reason
that-republicans and populists, and so
goodly a number of democrats are hear
tily in favor of the citizens' movement
whira has started in for an' everyday,
ysar-hr-ysar policy. -

The foUewias; potato wars advoea
ted by Supt Williams of this city ia re
gard to prosaotsoa:
should be suds oa the
of fitaess, Fitasss was ade to
in such a k-aowbdee of the sub
ject or psrte of the sabject already pur
sued as would facilitate the aequisitioa
aad adequate understanding of the
branches taught ia the grade above.
Discipline, and skill in the performance
of work were also considered requisites.
Written reviews wars advocated as a
substitute for the stated aaanaination
now so frequently held ia atost of oar
schools. The sentiment prevailed that
the daily standing of a pupil should
have more weight than anything else in
determining fitness for promotion. That
the teacher's estimate derived from daily
recitation and from the weekly written
reviews was the beet bask for determin
ing fitness for promotion. It was held
tuat, in cases wnere there was say
doubt as to fitness some sort of special
examination should be" passed. - The.
evils attendant upon stated examina
tions were discussed and were consider
ed serious.
The convention was well attended and
discussed many points of vital interest
to the schools of the state.
Among the topics discussed were the
following: Compulsory Education;
Practical Phases of the Free-law atten
dance; Semi-annual Promotions; High
School Studies in the Grades and A
State High School Course.
Dont fail to vote right The Platte
county citizens ticket is a good one and
back of the combination are republicans,
populists and democrats who on county
matters are agreed to stand together now
and henceforth until the business affairs
of the county are conducted on purely
business principles. The Journal can
point out numerous incidents where the
county, through its officials, has paid
almost twice what the same service
could be had for under competition.
You, as a farmer, wouldn't pay $100 for
a wagon when you could get as good a
one for $25, and why should the county
do differently from an individual on
purely business transactions. The
present combination .is here to stay.
Mistakes may be made, but the people
are actuated by the right' of motive, that
of looking after the public interests to
better them to lessen expenses, and con
sequent taxation, to reverse the proposi
tion that "the public is a goose 'to be
plucked," and to do business of the
public in the light of the noonday sun,.
and strictly as the law demands. Don't
think, for a moment, you men who de
pend upon ihe theory that the people
can always be gulled, that the intelli
gent voters of Platte county don't know
a thing or two. They have now found
the way, and they purpose walking in
that way until they accomplish their
just purpose.
A man's political party is his politi
cal home, supposed to express more
nearly than any other, his convictions
concerning public policy; every man's
action should be dictated exclusively by
principle and not by the "cohesive power
of public plunder." The manner in
which tne Telegram editor talks to the
editor of the Humphrey Democrat,
"about- feathering his nest now out of
the mongrels, for he will get nothing
from nny other source, we promise him,"
shows that the campaign editor of the
Telegram evidently thinks he himself
will h&ve no misgivings in asking "to be
let in. at .the distribution of the pap."
Voters; don't lay the .'ax down at. the
foot of the tree, but put'it into vigorous
service in cutting the boodle tree down,
and then pull the stump out with the
roots the whole dirty business.
. If anybody thinks there is no inter
est taken in this campaign, let him get
into the country some evening and stop'
at the dwelling of an intelligent farmer
(he will find many such), apd listen to
what he says. People are thinking what
makes times so hard;, money so scarce;
taxes and public charges so high; why
it takes such a large amount of money
tens, scores of thousands of dollars to
pay county expenses; where the per
manent improvements are" to show for so
much expenditure; what" each public
official gets for what he does; how. his
salary. is paid; who the deputies' are,
and why they are, and a' thousand other
pertinent inquiries.
We mentioned last, week the acci
dent to the 17-year-old son of Jacob
Tschudin. The Monroe Republican
gives the following particulars:
"Several young men were 'coming
home from a neighbor's in a buggy, and
they stopped at a cross-road to let young
Tschudin out. He had a shot-gun with
him, and when he was taking it out of
the buggy the hammers caught ia some
way and discharged the gun, the load
entering the young man's arm near the
shoulder, necessitating amputation. 'Dr.
Hansen was the first- doctor to arrive,
and later Drs. Evans &.Geer of Colum
bus arrived, the three performing the
operation. At present the 'young man
is resting easy and -his chances for re
covery are very good." -
'The Cedar Rapids Republican not
ing the appointment -of Rev. F. W.
Bross to.that charge, says: "From what
we have seen of him on a recent visit
here, we think that he has the ability
and vigor to .do much' good work-in his
calling." There' is no doubt of that
He' has a very great deal .more than or
dinary ability, and as a representative
advocate of the doctrines' of Methodism
is conspicuous. His friends -here, while
regretting his departure, wish him 'suc
cess, and given hearty welcome" to their
new minister, Rev. Moore, .who- is well
known to them all as a worthy man and
very able preacher. ,
In 1890 there .were" .in "the public
schools of the United States as teachers
96,581' men "and 245,230 women, and in
the country districts the 'ratio is fully
three to one. . The ratio of women to
men is greater than this in Platte county,
and yet some of the newspapers which
are deriding Mrs. Brindley for being a
contestant before .the .people for the
position of superintendent of public in
struction, do so because she is a woman,
the same so-called arguments (nonsen
sical twaddle) applying equally as well
to the numerous teachers Of the country.
Be fair; gentlemen, or at least as fair as
you can.
' One of our campaign reporters says
that a meeting of the citizens ticket was
held in the town hall, Woodville town
ship, Friday evening last. All the can
didates' on the citizens ticket were
present except Mrs. Brindley and Dr.
Ayers. Those present made brief
speeches. The meeting was well atten
ded, all of the voters in the township
except five being present The candi
dates made a favorable 'impression, mid
Woodville'can be relied, on to cast a
huge majority for the ticket Hon.
Wm. Irwin presided and James Kiernan,
jr, acted as secretary.

OU Settlers.
En. Journal: I have written this,
thiakiag that perhaps your readers
might be interested in bearing some
thing about the old settlers picnic,
which, was held at what is known as
Potter's grove, about two miles wist of
Oeoase station, on Oct a We arrived
oa the grounds about 10:30, and found
we wars not the first, by any meam
After some time spent in social greetings
among old acquaintances, observed the
feminine portion of the community be
ginning certain preparations, which are
a sure indication of something for the
refreshing of the inner man; and we
greatly rejoiced at the prospect; but as
the song says, "There's many a slip
twixttae cup and the lip," and so it
nearly happened to us, for just at this
time the boys from Monroe came along
tooting their horns, which had the same
affect oa us that the band at the circus
has on the average small boy, we nearly
lost our dinner; which, thanks to the
ladies, was a grand good one.
After dinner had been served the
meeting was called to order by R A
Gerrard. John Kelley of Monroe was
elected chairman. A. Luth of Colum
bus secretary. Next came the speak
ing. F. O. Fritz was the first speaker.. He
referred to himself as lately from Ohio
and was not well posted as to date of
first settlement about hero, but sup
posed that twenty-five years ago was
about the time of first settlement, was
glad 'to see such bountiful crops and
said we in this county had cause for.
thankfulness to the Supreme Ruler for
his goodness to us. Referring to the
financial condition of' the. country,
thought we as a nation hare many
knotty questions beforo'us to look after.
J.N. Kilian the next speaker, candi
date for county judge, said that fifteen
years ago he could hardly laugh in Eng
lish. . Compared Germany and .this
country, and thought we knew nothing
about hard times in this country, as
they did in Europe; thought that next
after the old soldiers, we owo the old
settlers an everlasting debt of gratitude.
E. A." Gerrard was first introduced to
this country when the Pawnee Indians
lived south of Fremont, before being
located at Genoa. They would some
times make raids on the whites, stealing
horses and at times kill some settlers,
with 6ome other incidents of" early
times. -
Mrs. C. A. Brindley, candidate for
county superintendent of public instruc
tion, was called for. Referred back to
fifteen years ago when she taught school
in-that district; made some very-appropriate
remarks about -the duty of teach
ers to give the best impressions possible
to children" under their care, for early
impressions are the ones that last the
longest through life:
Fred. Jewell arose, next and gave in
his experience about one dark night
twelve years ago, he 'and his' brother
were out driving, when his attention
being attracted, by the sound of music,
on stopping' the team they found them
selves on top of John Potter's sod house.
He then slightly touched on his can
didacy for -clerk of the district court.
M. M. Itothleitner spoke next refer
ring back to twenty years ago when he
came from Germany to this country;
the death of his mother in Now York;
the children coming . direct to Platte
county and of his.early life and its hard
ships; spoke of his being a candidate for
office of county superintendent of pub
lic instruction, and if elected would try
to discharge its duties .faithfully.
Next came the two little boys who are
chasing the sheriffship of Platte county,
David and. Daniel. David came .to the
state 28 years ago, has lived in Platte
.county six years -and has always voted
the democrat ticket; is no'w running as
an independent democrat by petition,
endorsed - by the populist-republican
combination. Speaking of 26 years' ago .
he said, at that time a top buggy created
a sensation in any country neighbor
hood. Daniel followed' by remarking on ap
pearance of the country in 1875, when
he first came', to Platte county. - His
first work was painting the buildings of
George Truman and Joseph Webster,.'
noting the improvements to the present
time. He hardly mentioned politics,
(but'then we' all know how very modest
these two boys are.) To be candid in
the matter, your scribe is 'compelled to
admit, that either of them ought to be
well qualified to hold the position if
bulk counts in the matter:
C. C. Carrig came to the county 36
years ago, and yet was not its first set
tler. This made the first speaker Mr.
Fritz look out the corner of his peepers,
as if it was a joke. Carrig did not wish
to talk politics at such a gathering even
if he is running for'treasttre?, but rather
let us shake hands, and be thankful that
-we are still-alive and able to go to Buch
gatnenngs.
- J. T. Morris of Creston came to the
state 23 years ago, and helped.to survey -
some sections in the .north part of the
county.
' Emil Pohl ot Columbus has lived in
this county 23 years and considers him-'
self an old settler,-being a candidate for
county clerk, would like to be helped by
votes Nov. 5th" next.
C. A. Brindley declared in his speech
that he is not a candidate for office, but
admits close relationship to one who is..
speaking of last years gathering at
Grandma Kelley 'a home, and her request
for them to' keep up. those meetings
from year to year, which had been her
last request to .them as one of the oldest
settlers -in the association; he spoke of
others who had gone to the beyond, and
urged that we" keep. up our old settlers'
reunions.- .
G. B. Speice," candidate for clerk of
the district court, remarked that he had
lived in Platte county all his life; was
glad to be' present and considered the
meeting a success, in every respect
Rev..Shuman was called for, and ia
response said he was not an old settler,
so could not speak of the past nor for
the future.
After this came the election of officers -
with the following result: John Potter,
Lost Creek, chairman; Mrs. John Eeeler,
Monroe, secretary; W. W. Mannington,
treasurer.
: On motion it was voted that all per
sons who came to the state prior, to 1880
shall be eligible to membership in this
association, and 'are requested to send
their names to the secretary at Monroe,
Nebraska.
Albert Luth, Sec'y.'"

PinvLm-Sanday, .October 13, 3" a.
ax, at tas residence otJsrsl Glaek in
this city, of drossy, Lawrence PailliBav
aged 73 years.
Mr.Phfllias wasborn in London, aad
at the age of 17 went to Australia. In
1819 he moved to California, in 58 to
Milwaukee, where he lived many years,
from there going to Chicago. After the
great are ia" that city he removed to
this city, where he has since resided.
Two years ago ha lost his aoaw-par-tner,
since which he has made his home
with his daughter Mrs. L Gluck. For
many months he had been losiag
strength, dropsy ensuing and causing
him much suffering in the final days of
his Ufa.
He leaves his children, Mrs. Bergman
of Chicago, Alexander Phillips of Bel-
videre, Illinois, and Mrs. L Gluck of
this city.
At 925, Tuesday morning, the body
was taken in charge by an escort of Ma
sons consisting of J. R. Meagher, J.-G.
Pollock, Gus G. Becher and L Sibbern
seo, who with relatives, went to Omaha,
where, at the Jewish temple, funeral
services will be held, after which the.
escort named above, besides J. E. North
and Gus Lockner ot Omaha will act as
pall bearers, and the body will be laid to
its final rest ia the cemetery with the
impressive Masonic services.
Mr. Phillips was a man with the fixed
qualities of the race' of people to which
be belonged, aad if the world were com-
posed of such as he, all manner of wrong
and outrage among men would be done
away with. He was a man of fixed, al
most immovable convictions, direct and
plain-spoken, and thus his friendships
were real and lasting.
The little town of Richland was the
scene of activity last Friday, afternoon.
A large herd of cattle and horses from
the surrounding country was gathered at
that place last spring and taken out to
Loup county and pastured during the'
summer.- In due itme the -farmers, who
had stock in the herd, received notice
that the herd would be in Richland on
Friday, October 4, at noon. So the far
mers with their sons arrived- in town at
an early hour on that day All managed
to amuse themselves, the older ones by
relating incidents of their pioneer life,
and the boys by prancing their steeds up
and down the public streets, while the
cattle whips 'and lariats were swinging
and spurs rattling until noon, .when all
began to wonder why the herd did not
come, ana wnetner tney nad better re
main longer or return home.- At this
stage, the large herd put in an appear
ance from the south, the bunch consist
ing of 50 horses and 375 cattle. The cat
tle were rounded up in the railroad
stockyards and sorted out to their own
ers, and the horses were rounded up in
the. street where they, were taken by.
their owners. The stock returned was
not in so good condition as that taken
from here a year ago, notwithstanding
the abundance of grass in that section
this year. .. -
Some corn husked here is going about
16 bushels to the' acre, and we lelieve
that to be a fair average for the -upland;
of course there are 6ome pieces that may
go 30 bushels and again some that will
not make five. - -
Herbert Rhodes of .Geneva and who
stopped over Sunday a week ago"with
'Joe Drinnin. says that the soutli-.-half ot
Filmo're county-is as destitute of crops us:
it was a year" ago; the- rains that served
adjoining counties did not come to them
and it was impossible to do any fall plow
ing at anytime up to September 25, when
he came away. '
A new daughter is announced -.to
brighten the. home of Mr. and Mrs. Ste
venson just over the line in Colfax.
Fred Blaser and. his .oldest son -Fred,
now of Belgrade,- were in the neighbor
hood last week; and 'were. oh their way
to California.. .
The above reached ns too late for last
week's Jotjrxal.J ."...-
'MTa. C A. Brindley.
Mrs. Brindley is making a popular
candidate. She is not' neglecting, 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 couuty." -
What is needed in that oSlca 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 owfebo
county at least once in each year, to ex
amine carefully-into" the discipline and
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 6tudy to be pursued,
and for the improvement of the instruc
tion and discipline'of tho school; to note
the condition of- ihe school honso and
.appurtenances thereto, and to suggest a'
place tor new school nouses to be erectT
edand for warming and ventilating -the-same,
and for the general improvement
of the school 'house and grounds'; to
promote, by public lectures and teachers'-
institutes, and. by.such other" means
as he may" devise for the improvement'
of the schools in the country, and the
elevatiotf of the character and qnalitica
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 tho 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 th law expects. and re
quires of the -'superintendent ' for his
SlOOamontK ' ' - '-
It is. not necessary .nor. becoming'.in
our county superintendents of schools
to pass the greater portion, of . their time
at the county seat, whe'h it is well
known, that they do not visit the schools
there, and we undertake to say for Mrs.
Brindley 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
earn the money that Platte county will
be paying her.
The people or .the .United States
learned long ago that there is no sex in
education. By far the greater number
ot teachers of the 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 the 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
I selected as county superintendents, they
1 give excellent satisfaction.
