THE rcnomiation of Governor
Osborn by the Kansas Republicans
seems now to be a forgone conclu
sion.
IF Beecber's confession that he
allowed Moulton and Tilton to
blackmail him out of $20,000 is true ,
Beecher certainly deserves very lit
tle sympathy.
THE Nebraska Democracy is just
iiow asking itself this question :
"Amlamml , or am I not amml ?
If lam amini , where am I ? If I
"am not ammi , who the dickens am
I ? " *
TIIE impending senatorial con
flict in Nevada Is becoming < qulte
Interesting. Judging from our
Nevada exchanges the political
cauldron in the Sagebrush State has
already reached the boiling point.
ACCORDING to the New York
Jlcrald , United States bonds have
been within the last few years much
more under the .manipulation of
thieves and forgers than either the
government or the holders hav
imagined.
FROM the Salt Lake Iribune we
.gleanjhat Sir. "SVillet Pottengeiywho
at no very remote period distinguish
ed himself by holding a seat in the
Nebraska Legislature , to which he
was assigned by fraudulentreturns ,
is now very comfortably located
among the Mormons as Register of
the Salt Lake City Land ofllce.
BEECHiu unfolds a very touching
tale about the way he came to sign
the humble pic letter , in which he
prostrates himself before Tilton as
before his God. It is to be regreted ,
however , that [ his explanation will
not convince a candid mind that
Beecher would have put his auto
graph to such an important docu
ment without reading its contents.
OUT of the sixty-three organized
counties in Nebraska , twenty coun
ties were represented at the great
State Convention , presided over by
the industrious chief Ko-op , Harri
son Johnson. In reality there were ,
howwer , only delegates from five
counties present , the other fifteen
counties were represented by pre
tended proxy holders , whose chief
occupation is bumming around the
Lincoln bar-rooms. So much for
the wonderful success of the new
departure.
THE great Austin riot proves after
all to have been a very insignificant
affair. The entire affair seems to
have been grossly exaggerated. One
negro was killed , and no white
man even wounded. Only one store
was sacked by negroes during the
time they had possession of the
place. Seventeen of the leaders , or
rather more boisterous ones , as they
fieemed to have no leaders , were ar
rested and confined hi Jail to await
trial.
BENATOE HITCHCOCK'S BEST JTJDG
HENT.
Senator Hitchcock will no doub
eive the Omaha postofflce such at
tention as affairs in connection witl
its conduct in the past or futun
shall in his best judgment warrant
but he should not , and we may sat
with certainty that he will not , b <
governed by the ravings of the BEE
whose ill feeling and prejudice
against those in authority about th <
postofflce in this city grows out o
the tact that he was chastised with
in the walls of that establishment i
few years ago. Omaha Union.
* Since the Union boldly assume
the championship for the posial cor
ruptionists , we have a right to tab
it for granted that its utterances an
dictated by Postmaster Yost , am
possibly by Senator Hitchcock. "W <
are therefore pleased to know tha
Senator Hitchcock "will give th (
Omaha postoffice such attention a :
affairs hi connection "with Its con
duut in the- past or future shall ir
his best judgment" warrant.
"We cannot attempt to analize tht
Senator's judgement in connectior
with future actions , but if the pas
history of the Omaha postal man
agement is any criterion , we regrei
to declare that his best judgment L
decidedly defective and unreliable
It is within the memory of nearly
every citizen of Omaha , that Sena
tor Hitchcock was ashamed toac
knowledge the appointment o :
Yost , and vainly sought tosaddh
the responsibility for this odious
act upon President Grant. Not onlj
did he publicly deny any agencj
in this matter , but he vir
tually pledged his honoi
lo the indignant citizens of Omaha
through the Republican that Yost's
appointment would be merely tern-
polary. Two years have past and
still the Sanator has not fulfilled his
pledge. So much for his best judg
ment in the past. And now let us
look at the present. We are in
formed that Senator Hitchcock will
not in the least be governed by the
ravings of the editor of the BEE ,
whose prejudices arise from the fact
that he was once chastised \ \ ithin
the walls of the Omaha Postofflce.
Now we admit that the conduct of
the present postmaster upon
tbat memorable occasion should
have been a bar to his ap
pointment " \Ve deny , however ,
that ill-feeling or prejudice have
actuated the BEE in its recent de
nunciation of Postmaster Yost's
official corruption. If in Senator
Hitchcock's best judgment an offi
cer charged with and convicted of
collusion with lottery gamblers ,
bribery , dishonest returns of pay
rolls and other disgraceful irregulari
ties deserves to bo be sustained by
him the BEE has a right to pro
nounce that judgemennt as very
vicious and demoralizing.
Does Lfr. Yost Jpretend that the
BEE seduced him into all the cor
rupt and dishonest acts which have
been proved against him under oath
by reliable witnesses ? Does Sena
tor Hitchcock's best judgmentexon-
orate the officer whe acknowledges
the acceptance of silver-plate from
a lottery gainbler with whom he
connivedby permitting him to can
cel his own mail ?
Is it Senator Hitchcock best judg
ment that the Republican can afford
to permit public thieves to go
unrcbuked ? In his attempts to
imitate the ostrich , the Senator evi
dently forgets that there is a popular
judgment , before whoso bar no sub
terfuges or whitewashing will be
available. The BEE can well afford
to let Postmaster Yost reuiajn in
office. He has done more to build
it up than any other outside agency.
We shall , however , record our
solemn protest against the judgment
of a Senator who insists upon sac
rificing not only his own honor and
reputation , but also the success of
the Republican party , for the sake
of gratifying the greedy ambition of
an unworthy personal friend.
SECRETARY BRISTOW deserves
great credit for his energetic and
.systematic efforts to purify the pub
lic service. His latest order con
templates a wholesome reform in
compliance with an act passed by
Congress at its last session. Hereto
fore officers or agents of the Govern
ment , when traveling on Govern
ment business , were in the habit ol
charging ten cents per mile each
way for traveling expenses , besides
their hotel bilU end incidental ex
penses , which made traveling a
very profitable business.
UNDER the new instructions of
Secretary Bristow persons traveling
for the Government will only be
allowed bills fur actual expenses ,
covering amounts paid for railroader
or steamboat fare , and actual board
at hotels at the rate not to exceed
five dollars jer day. Tbis order
will cause a very material saving to
the government.

the Omaba Unionl It don't seem
to be "whooping" for the grangers
quite as much as it did. JYema/ia

We guess the ringers have got it
by the throat. Policy "you know"
Mr. Journal , will cause the weak-
minded to do things that look fear

Our rural contemporaries are evi
dently not aware that the Union has
passed under the control of Ko-op
bummers and postal corruptionists.
Workingmen and farmers in these
parts have long since become con
vinced tbat the concern is the ready
tool of anybody that is willing.to
subsidize it.

If I had known In the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind would trouble mv mln
That I said when you went awuy ,
I had been more careful , darling ,
Nor given you needless pain ;
But we Tex our own with look and tone
We might never take hack again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peice ,
Yet it well might be that never for mo
The pain of the heart should ceasa 1
How many go forth at morning
Who never come home at night 1
And hearts have broken for harsh word
spoken
That sorrow can never set r'ght.
We have careful thought for the strange :
And smiles for the sometime guest ;
But oft tor our own tbe bitter tone ,
Though we love our own the best.

MATRIMOfflALITIES.
A wealthy English widow , whoa
passion is small leet , offers to marr :
the man who is over five feet tall
and can wear her shoe numbe
threes.
' Artaxerxes , " said Sir. Marrow
fat ; solemnly , "never get married
my bny. Little do you know , vha
an awful responsibility it is to up
holster a wife. "
An Iowa widower last week tele
graphed an offer of marriage t (
Susan B. Anthony. She telegaaph
ed back that she was on the retiree
list
It was "darling Gweorge" wher
a bridal couple left Omaha ; it wai
"dear George" at Chicago ; at De
troit it was "George , " and wher
they reached Niagara Falls it was
"Say , you. "
The Supreme Court of New Yorli
has just made a highly important
decree , nullifying a marriage on th (
ground that the woman had been
unchaste before her marriage , tht
fruits of guilt appearing shortly af
ter.
ter.It
It is a solemn thing a very * sol
emn thing to get married to feel
that henceforth through life the
mild eyed girl at your side is to be
the only female in the wide world
duly licensed to tbrow flat-irons at
your head ,
A gentleman in Florida is desir
ous of obtaining a wife , who must
have "a cow , a good leather bedj
comfortable linens and $500 in genuine -
uine greenbacks. She must also un
derstand the whole art of tending
children , and must have been
through the small-pox and mea
sles. "
A young lady at Norristown put a
piece of wedding cake under her
pillow , and went to bed with the
happy belief that she would dream
of seeing her future husband. That
evening , however , she had eaten
two plates of ice cream , about a
pint of strawberries , several sweet
cakes , and two large pickles , and
she now says she would rather re
main single all her lite than marry
the man she saw in her dream.
The lady telegraph-operator at
Moawequa , 111. , telegraped that the
passenger train due there at 9:15 had
"left on time. " After performing
this duty , she immediately boarded
the cars and eloped with a nice
young man who parted his hair In
the middle and wore a pink mous
tache. They rode gayly to Pana ,
where the nuptial knot was drawn
in a lovely bow-knotand the happy
pair returned on the next train.
The newly made bride alighted from
the cars and telegraphed the up-
train "gone , " thus making a bridal
tour without inissing a call.
Newly married people who start
out in life at housekeeping make a
great mistake in not using their or
rather the bride's
weeding pres
ents. They are not usually given
to be hid away , but to be used , and
may be to remind the owner of the
giver. There was poor little Mrs.
Dumpkins. She went to house
keeping in Jersey , and , fearing
masked robbers and other things ,
left her pretty presents at her
mother'sin-law's in town , jobbers
broke through and stojp , and
now the young couple sing sad
ly in chorus , "we mourn our loss. "
The mother-in-law , it should bo
stated , was left untouched.
The sacrifices of Hymen are oc
casionally celebrated under extraor
dinary circumstances. Two years
age , in California , one Joel Mans
field fired a pistol at Miss Mary Hein
with woman-slaughterous intent ,
and then with suicidal purpose did
: he same for himself. Hecovering ,
10 was rhiee times tried for the at-
: empted murder of Mia- * Mary , and
hree times did the conscientious
and sympathetic jurors , after the or
dinary manner of such functionaries
n such cases fail to agree. So the
court told Joel Mansfield to go about
lis business. A short time since he
nado it part of hN business to see
Mary again. And this time he had
his heart in his hand ( BO to speak )
instead of his pistol. This mild
manner of addressing her mollified
Miss Moll , and , with or without the
usual blushes , she consented to be
come , and she is now , Mrs. Joel
Mansfield. All's well that ends
well , bijt wonderfully queer the end
ing sometimes is ,
EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
Divers wealthy citizens of Califor
nia have very generously formed an
association to loan money to poor
and deserving students desiring to
Co through the university course.
The Regents of the University of
Minnesota , desire that the next
meeting of the National Teachers'
Association be held in their State ,
and have placed the university
buildings at the disposal of the As
sociation for such purpose.
A Mr. Douglon , of New York , is
reported to have founded in Lafa
yette College , at Easton , Pa. , a
ehair of ' 'Christian Latin and
Greek , " objecting to the teaching
of the classics from the works of
such heathens as Homer and Vir
gil.
Miss Gilbert , a blind lady , opened
a blind school in a Holboru cellar ,
for which she paid eighteen pence a
week. She has now 1,000 pupils ,
whom she has taught to support
themselves. They maintain the in
stitution that gives them a homean
education , and an occupation.
The people of Boulder , Colorado ,
bavo mited the 815,000 required by
the law , establishing the Territorial
University at that place , and the
trustees have made a formal de-
ttand upon the auditor for the legis
lative appropriation , to aid in the
lonstruction of a suiitable building
or University purposes.
It is proposed to raise among the
Baptists of Pennsylvania $500,000
or educational purposes , $300,000 of

Penn , while Governor of Pensyl
vauia , established by charter i
Board of fifteen Quakers to hav <
charge of schools Jn the town ant
county of Philadelphia. Since tha
time tne board has organized sev
eral schools which , once excellent
gradually deteriorated until the
are now , with one exception , al
closed. With the increasingly largi
income thus left at the disposal o
the bourd , it was decided some timi
since to establish one school of higl
grade , and equip it with all the ap
pliances of modern education. Mr
B M. Jones , a Maine teacher and i
graduate from Harvard , will be a
its head.
Mr. Bernardini , Director of th <
High School at Rouen , writes to th <
New Orleans Picayune , that Rouer
has just founded , for commeicia
and industrial instruction , severa
establishments.with the hest possi
ble conditions for insuring success
and open both to foreigners anc
frenchmen a high school of com
merce , a high school of industry
a school for weaving and spinning
a laboratory of industrial chemistry
dyeing , printing of tissues , lecture
on machinery , &c. The ' schools a
under the patronage of'the Cham
ber of Commerce ; their programme ;
have been elaborated by highly
competent men , both with respecl
to theory and practice. A prepara
tory class has just been added to the
commercial school , in which for
eigners have opportunity for thor
ough study of the French language.
It is reported that in Germany
the largely increasing number ol
short-sighted persons is believed to
have resulted from the imperfect
modes of teaching and learning.
In England a similar increase has
been observed in all schools , not ex
cepting those of the highest class
and universities. It has been as
certained in Germany , a London
scientist declares , that " short sight
is in a large measure due to the un
natural positions which children are
compelled to assume by reason ol
the awkward construction of the
desks and seats , and to the imper
fect lighting of the school buildings.
The same result , attributed to the
same causes , appears in Sweden ,
Denmark , Switzerland , and Amer
ica , and in all these countries steps
are now being taken to remedy the
evil. "
