Parks of the Telegram is respectfully called to the following news paragraph: ."At the democratic . convention for Box Bntte -countyi held at Hemingford, Mis Anna Neeland secured the 'nomi nation lot superintendent of schools." . It woald appear from this that there are democrats elsewhere who' are of difetent belief from Mr. Parkswhd Bays ' that a woman, simply because of her -womanhood, is incapacitated from being a superintendent of. schools. . In accepting the nom inatkn,'says the York Times, Judge Norval made a short bat very telling speech inadvertently giving-Judge Maxwell a reminder which is all the .more forcible on account of bainff entirely accidental.- - He said: "I accept the nomination as a republican and if elected "my oficial oath, the con-stitation-ahd the law of the land shall be platform and chart" Judge Norval did not refer to any decisions he has rendered as a reason why people should vote for bun. He did not -intimate that as a jftdge be had been .partisan nor prejudiced, nor did be directly nor by Mce promise to ravor any ciass nor to any clamor.

" "In thc.I'eople' Interest' is our motto.' Lincoln's "Government of the people, by the people, for the .people" "is a princijtle to be illustrated in Platte county by. the election of the citizens' ticket, supported by republicans, populists and democrats, too. All are agreed that taxes are too high, and that In mam' important particulars the laws are not complied with,' and not eveua decent effort -made to comply with them. - Mr, C. A. RrlBdley. """-. Mra." Brindley is making a popular candidate. She is not neglecting -Jier 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 tho 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.snperintendent is under obligation by reason ol the duties ot the w4.-.-eW ni. f i. ,i.,i, f ru. 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 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, and to suggest a place for new school houses to be erect ed, and for warming and ventilating the same, and- for the general improvement of the' school house and grounds; to promote, -by public lectures and teach ers' institutes,-and by Bitch other means ashe'may devise for the "improvement of the schools in the country, and the elevation of tho character and qualifica tions of tho teachers thereof; to consult with the teachers and -school, boards, to secure general and regular attendance of the children of the county Upon tho public schools. " - -.'- In'theabovo' 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 quires of "tho 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 seat, -when .- it- is well known thut they do.not visit the schools there, and wo undertake, to say for Mrs. Brindley that -she .will make the law prescribing' Her duties, her rule of" con duct in that and even- other particular. We ask our readers to take note now of. the above' important functibns and dn ties of the superintendent as laid down in the law, and. after' 'Mrs. Brindley is "well along in" her first .year.'s work.givo us your opinion ot what site is doing to earn the- money that "Elatto county will be paying her".- The people, of-' tho .-.United --States learned long ago thatlliero is no sex in education. By Tar the greater-number of teachers . of the .country "are " ladies, and their cmploympnt.during the last forty years,; 'riot 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" progrcss.'.thoy have made, un precedented in'the world's historyj dur ing the same length of tima. There is abundant reason to believe, that' where .lady teachers, (eminent' for good moral character and teaching abil ity, .as -in, -Mrs; Bnndley's case), are- selected as county superintendents, they give "excellent satisfaction. "- A Straw. A straw is not a-very, large bit of sub-. stance, but it shows -.'which "wav the' wind blows.. W. A.

Visit them in" their homes your imagination can be aided- by the fact that they receive so little for" their work; let your -'imagination 'then picture the distribution of. the big sum, .taking out of it the pittance that goes to labor, and draw your own conclusions as to what, ought to" bo done."- . The people will come to their own and .when -they do, eastern- poor people will not suffer for the -lack .of something to" eat when corn at 15 cents is being burned' in- Nebraska,- as -was .the case several years ago: ".-.'" The people of this country -are bound to find a way to transport the surplus products of the several sections to where f they happen to be needed, so that those in- main interest will get from these pro ducts what they ought to get Let all who so -believe, combine -and work and accomplish what they desire. Mabshaix and Patterson are both good, capable men; Marshall has shown himself -an exceptionally good- judge. Patterson will demonstrate, the same fact from the bench after his election. Both are men who have in many ways evidenced their belief in Lincoln's idea of "a government of the people, by the people, for the people." '. DAVID A. HALE. Citizen: Tax Payer and' Die Peo"iJe Candi date for t'onuty Sheriff. We clip the- folovrin in regard to our candidate for sheriff from the Humphrey Democrat: . The subject of this sketch. was born iu Grayson county, Virginia, and is a demo crat of thtfold school. 'In 18155. he left the home of his childhood and went to St Joseph,' Mo.,'vhero he commenced an active life inthe business world. . From St Joseph he came to Nebraska in May, 18CG, and. located in Omaha where ho se cured a position m the general merchan dise store of A. D.

At one time Mr.' Hale was offered $2,000 tb return to Ma'di-. oou county and re-enter the stock 'busi ness by the business men arid farmers of that neighborhood. Tiie offer was re fused, as Mr. Halo had agreed to remain in Humphrey, where he had cast his lot. This little incident' serves to show the appreciation of Mr. .Hale's assistance fji building up the' vicinity of -bis choice and their esteem of him as a square bU3ines3 man- " " " . " -'..;- ' During his residence in Madison conn' ty Mr. Hale .held several offices of public trust, aud none can say .that such trusts were" ever abused. ' Besides b?iug -a. square business man.

The importance of the office of county j udge is too' often overlooked. Men "who are. devoting all their timo and energies to the accumulation of property for their children seldom stop to think that -the county court is the medium-' through which all their "accumulations' -will ' be distributed to their heirs at law, ' -Still less frequently 'do they:stop to think of the numerous steps to betaken in the settlement'of ah estate in order-to make such settlement lasting and "binding and in order "that .the title to their property, may pass unclouded to their widows and children. .In view of the vast interests passing, under his. administration and the care and accuracy, required to settle an estate properly, it is indeed' a" ques tion whether there is a more important office in the. county than that' of county judge. ",...- J. N Kilian, onr 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 aud- habits. He is a' lawyer by' profession and is undoubtedly one of the most thoroughly educated -mou in his profession in the state. He. is one of the careful, painstaking sort, and while lie" appears in court -less frequent ly than, some others, the cases in which' ho procures, settlements and" compro mises, among his -countrymen would make quite a docket" in themselves. -A thoroughly educated lawyer.. of"sober. careful arid painstaking habits, "we feel satisfied that jf elected he -will fill the important office of" county, judge With' credit to minselt -and to tho satisfaction of the people .

This was- a very smooth trick, and it has been worked for all it was worth. But the foregoing are the bald facts, and .instead of our exports of manufactures "creeping steadily up," as we. were told, they have been" "creeping steadily" down, even though the wall of protec tion has been blasted out of sight The detailed statement of our exports of .domestic merchandise during Febru ary enables ono to see in what lines oof people are reaching out into the markets of the world.

UNEMPLOYED QUESTION PROVES A VERY KNOTTY PROBLEM, A' Free Trade Ihm That Should Net Be Tarawa Away Narrow Bwape off Aaier leaa Vago parser Idlers aad raspers Pleaty. hot Wacce Mlchty Scares. ' (Froav Special .Correspondent. - The unemployed question has now be come so pressingin this country that m special parliamentary, committee has just been appointed to. deal with the problem. -It is:not expected that the re port of the committee will have. -any' particularly salutary effect, for the sim ple reason that the whole difficulty is in' onr econoinio heresy of free imports, in cluding prison made German goods. American citizens have just hadjm object lesson which has shown them, very clearly what free trade means. I will now tell them what it has done for. the working classes in the" United. King dom. I have called thorn the" working' classes, but if matters go on at the pros-' ontrate we shall eventually have no work left for onr people to da Tho pros pect seems to consist 'of a dying agricul ture and a decaying system .of manufac tures. - Will it be believed that iri England aud Wales alone there were. 134,000 persons relieved at the several poor houses in one week in February last? This was merely outdoor -relief arid does not-convey an adequate idea of the pre vailing distress. . .Mr. Kier-Hardie, a labor" member of -parliament,, stated in the house of com-, mens that there were fully 1,000,000. ndn trado unionist .workmen out of em ployment, or 'counting 36,000 trade .un- ioaists ont of .work a grand -total oil 1,036,000 men unemployed.-' If we reck on that each one of these workmen has a family depending on him; we inay safe ly say that about 5,000, 000 of people are directly affected by want' of work in England. In one part' of London,- with a population of workers of 44,600 in the district, there, are 19,000 unemployed. In the London building trades only 8 per cent of the men are at present in work. There are 20,000. unemployed iri Brad-' ford, the great textile district In the tin plato district the men offered to. re turn to work at a rednotion.of 12 per .cent, but the masters have no work for' them. . .-."" . . - The condition of .workers, even in the .government 'service, is often deplorable. The postoffice is always "supposed to.be. a splendid institution,, but it generally starves its employees.- Many of tho mail -cart drivers work 16 hours a day for $4.50 to f 5 a week..- There-are today inf the central postofeco in London no fewer .1 than 660'men sorters who earn less than $5 per .week. It is generally thought that we are re ducing our number of paupers. That is quite fallacious: Taking 1857,- the ear- Iiest date available, we find that in a population of 19,000, 000 the number of indoor paupers in the first week of De cember was 120,000 while in January; 1894, iri a population of 80,000,000, the number was 173,710. Following the statistics year by year, we find a con tinuous advance' in the number of in door banners nearly keeping pace with the growth of population. The case of male ablebodied paupers Is still more startling. : Between January, .1880, and -January, 1894, . tho number" - had" in-'. creased frotn 26,000 to 391,319. In London itself the question of. in door pauperism -is phenomenal. It has risen year 'after year, increasing from 29.458 in 1857 to 06,614; in 189.4, and yet amid all- this starvation, want of work and distress our free trade govern-: meat admits prisonznade German goods' free into this country. And it goes far ther yet and serids British contracts for' soldiers' .clothe?,-arms, eta, to foreign makers because the labor- is cheaper on the continent This is the essence of free trade to get manufactures at the cheapest possible rate,, irrespective of any "consideration about the maker.
