THE good effects of the republic.-n
conference held last week in New
York are already observable in the in
creased enthusiasm everywhere mani
fested. The work of organization is
being rapidly carried on in sll the
northern states , and the campaign ,
especially in Indiana , New York , Con
necticut , Ohio and California , prom
ises to bo the most effective in the his
tory of the party. "While the democ
racy have been flapping each other on
the back over their lucky nomination
at Cincinnati , "the republicans have
been quietly marshalling their forces
and preparing to'make a thorough
c nvars of trfe country. At the pres
ent time th'e 'prospect is more than
encouraging.
AKD now-Judgo Briggs , who stands
unirnpcached in this state as a man of
integrity and unblemished character ,

b'ackguardiEin at the hands of the

Gould's Republican. Judge Briggs
has been guilty of the unpardonable
offense of making a public declaration
over his own name in fa\or of the rad
ical reform of our primary elcctiorsi
inaugurated by the Douglas county
central committee. The letter of
Judge Brigga , wb'icii appeared in TIIE

one word derogatory io any inuiridu-
il , or even an allusion'which could be
construed into an atsault on the
Union Pacific. And yet the organ f
that monopoly , professedly published
" in the interests of the republican
party , goes out of its way to villifv
& id malign Judge Briggs. What do
the impartial republicans outside of

it come to this , that republicanism in

RAILROAD EXTENSION.
The prospects for the opening up of
the ceuntry by new lines of railroad
are of the most flattering description ,
and there seems to be little room for
doubt that the present year will out
strip all former years in.the comtrac ; l
t'on cf new lices and , extension ? . '
What is most encouraging Is the fact
tiat railroad building is now beini ?
cirried on upon sound busineEB prin- .
ciples. The speculative "wild cat"
element has been largely eliminated
from railroad construction , "and roads
a-e now planned less to deceive gulli
ble stock holders than to jjayjinterest I
by legitimate earnings on thVcapital
invested. The Chicago Railway Age
has compiled some valuable statistics
showing" that during the'six months
ending Juno 30tb , I860 , there have
been 1700miles , of railway constructed
in the United States and 8000 miles
an addition are now in course of com-
.pletion. During the past six months ,
in thirty-four states and territories ,
work on 110 raSlroaU has been pro
jected or actually" liegun. This work
involves the completion. , of 10,860
miles of new track besides the 800
miles already reported to be under
construction on 110 additional roads.
During the same stx months there was
completed 1790 miles of track on
sixty - seven roads , which , with
tho-figures already given would make
an aggregate of 287 railway enterpri
ses , covering a contemplated mileage
of 20 OCO mile1' , which have been re
ported as projected or in process of
construction.
The greatest number of railway en
terprises is reported from Ohio , which
proposes to add 1,516 miles to its
railroad system. Virginia follows
with 890 , Colorado with 805 , and In
diana with 747 miles. Taken together
the mining states aud territorioi have
about 2,500 miles of railroad in pros
pect and the southern states nearly as
many more. Nebraska is credited
with 315 mile1 ! projected , Kansas with
175 and Iowa with 575.
SCHOOLS FOR ARTISANS.
Now York is about to make her
first experiment , in induetrial educa
tion , and through tbo munificence of
a wealthy citizen , she will soon throw
open the doors of a series of well-
equipped technical schools , from
which the best results to the various
trades may confidently bs expected.
Proud as Americans have good rcmon
to be of their admirable system of
common schools , they have for ten
years past been sadly behind other na
tions hi supplying practical education
to apprentices and mechanics. In the
endeavor to widely diffuse educational
advantages , too much attention has
been given to festering branches which
a limited class , alone , could turn to
their professional advantage , and the
opportunities offered to the sons of
tradesmen , mechanics and artisans
have been very inferior to those ob
tainable in England or onthe continent ;
It is true that during tbo last five
years the subject of technical schools
has been freely agitated and in two or
thrco cities actually put in practice ,
but in all these instances the schools
of instruction have been practically
closed to the classes needing them the
most , by the heavy charges for tuition
which lack of endowment rendered
neccsjary for their support.
The schools about to be opened in
Now York are founded principally to
benefit that class of manufacturing
operatives who require a knowledge
of design in their
trades. For years
past our capitalists have been com
pelled to import their beet designers
iu the pottery , iron , calico , carpet ,
wall paper and various other trades ,
from London , Palis and Vienna.
Wood ccrvers were sought for in
Switzerland , fresco painters in Ber
lin and Florence , while other larga
cities on the continent , where techni
cal schools were in operation , fur
nished the best material for Ameri
can factories. Ambitious American ap.
prenticesobliged to pick upsuch scraps
of Information as they' could from
toreign workmen , found themselves
unable to compete with men whoso
special education fitted them so thor
oughly for holding positions of re
sponsibility and emolument. The im
mense cotton mills of ihe Kew Eng
land states were dependent for their
designs upon graduates of Manchester
and Kensington , the decorative arts
pa'd ' commanding salaries to students
freeh from the schools of Paris and
Berlin , while Americans , denied the
practical educational advantages of
their foreign fellow workmen , were
compelled to content thcmsalves with
subordinate positions or forced ti fol
low tbe designs and plans forged by
other brains than their own.
This educational need of our
country has been as seriously felt by
the manufacturers as by em
ployes , and several factories in our
country have endeavored to stimulate
a siudy of design among their opera
tives by offering p'rizes for original
work in this department oflrsde. Un
fortunately , until Richard , Hoe made
his first offer to the Metropolitan
Museum of art which was quickly
followed by a etill more munificent
donation by another friend of indus
trial education , moans were wanting
to stimulate the ambition of Ameri
can workingmen. It is to be hoped
that before five years are over , all our
great manufacturing anl commercial
centres will be able
to boast ot a
system of frca industrial night and
day schools whore
the workingman as
well as the future
lawyer , doctor or
clergyman , can procure that education
which will beet nt him for success in
his chosen vacation ,
UPON information obtained -since
the publication of our article on the
misconduct of the
police court we are
led to believe
that our comments'on
the personal habits of Judge Hawes
may have "been
exaggerated in some
particulars. In the main , however ,
we have nothing to retract.

SENATOR SAUNDBRS ON PRIMA
RY REFOKM. '
The following letter , which appear
ed in the Omaha .Republican Wednes
day , commends itself to republicans
as a fair and'candid statement :
" OMAHA , August 9. .
To tte Editor of The HeruUlcan :
In your issue of Sasurday morning ,
under the 'heading , "Rosewater ,
Saunders and. "Fraud , " the writer
deals'in * some rather severe criticism
regarding my ction on the proposed
registry of republican voters who are
to exercise the right of selecting our
delegates at the coming primary elec
tion , which , I think , requires some re-
ply from me. I do not want to be
lieve thai the editor of The Republi
can is willing to misrepresent me
through his paper , and I therefore wish
to call hisattentiou _ to a few impor
tant statemerits"ma de by him , and see
if he will not do me the justice to cor
rect the same.
Let mo premise by stating here
and now that for many years I have
been in favor of the party making
some rule or law ( a law would be the
better ) which would throw essentially
the same safe-guards around the pri
mary ballot that are extended to the
general elections. Why. not ? Does
dot the primary election make all our
candidates for all the important offices
in the state ? And , if these elections
are allowed to run at loose ends , or to
be corruptly or Jraudulently run , then
will our elections prove nothing better
than a fnrce/.Xor / , the candidates made
by these primaries are , under party
usuager , to be supported ,
whether they are properly aud
satiffactorily selected or not. Every
body can , therefore , _ see that it is
quite as necessary to guard well the
polls at the pr.mary as-at the general
election/ Hiving seen great abuses
at these elections , growing out of per
sons voting who had no right to do so
and in many cases pereous voting
who did not belong to the republican
party I have , as I before said , Ion ?
been an advocate of a registry rale
or law , which should govern primaries
as well as other elections. A pure
election , free from all fraud or cor
ruption , is the main thing which must
be relied on to perpetuate this govern
ment , and this I have advocated both
in congress and as a privnio citizen.
Now this brings ma more directly
to the subject matter to which I wish
to reply , When I returned from the
country , a few days ago , I learned
that the county central committee had
resolved on requiring all republicans ,
who expected to vote at the coming
primary election , to be first enrolled
or registered ; and being in favor of >
registry , and believing that the cen
tral committee had tbo right to adopt
such an order , I unhesitatingly adopt
ed their ruling on that point , and reg
istered my name among others , and
this teems to bo the cauzo which called
forth your aiticle.
You undertake to show up my of
fense by etiting in rather positive
terms that a batttr way had been pro-
pcsed to me , and that I had rejected
the same and had to go with Mr.
Rosewater rather than with others
who had proposed a bettet way. To
ba more explicit , you say that : "Wo
have reason to know that at least
twenty-four hours before aEixing his
name to the Rosewater foatur yester
day , Senator Saunders wai fully aware
of the rcbemc. " Now the fact is I
had not BO much as heard of any
scheme boinp'proposed by Mr. Reed ,
till I read it in The Republican of Sat
urday morning. And the same ap
plies with equal force and meaniii' , '
to that part of your article which
says that I "was the recipient of a
proposition from leading republicans
opposed to that scheme , looking to an
organization for 'pure primaries , ' in
which all the factional elements should
participate. " No such proposition
was ever made to me , cither before or
after the publication of that article.
The only proposition that I know of
was the one published in the paper as
etnanatiug from the county commit
tee. This proposition was the lirst ,
and indeed the only one , looking to a
reform in our primary voting.
All I have EO far done is to register
my name as a republican and give my
nativity , residence , &c. This is my
offense to the editor , for it is all.1
have done. But he may say that I
am going further with it , and that I
am to back up the executive com
mittee in erasing the names of legal
republican voters from the list. My
answer is : "Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof. " Let us wait for
the second move in this work , and if
any executive committee or any other
party shall prcposc to strike from the
list any ono who has been properly
registered , if I know myself I will be
among the first to enter my protest
against such work.
What I want io see is that every le
gal republican voter shall have a fair
chanca for registry , and then a fair ,
chance to cast .his vote" for whatever
person or ticket he may desire. Has
the editor of The Republican any ob
jection to this ? Is lie or is he not in
favor of a registry which shall apply
to primary elections ? If'he.is opposed
,1 would like , to have his reasons for
that opposition ; , and if he favors then
can he tell mo a baiter way than to
commence by registering himself
and givinj his' ward or pre
cinct so that it may bo read of all men
who he is and where he is. If the
editor is in favor ef a registry rule ,
and has any batter way to ba given
than that I have adopted , I hope ho
will give it to the public , for I am not
wedded to any particular form. I am
not on the "hip" of any person have
no ono to servo but my party and my
country , and will therefore thank the
editor if he will show mo wherein I
have erred by taking the step I have ,
and will open up to me a better way.

Let old world tourists find poetry

beholding an ica-capped mount , frown
ing upon over-crowded , war-threaten
ed and half fed Europe ; .but give ma

liott.What
What ! don't know where Elliott is ?
Why , it has been in existence nearly
a year. It ia just about a year ago
that the C. , B. & Q company extend
ed a branch north from Red Oak. As
was foreseen the remit of this enter
prise was the biith of several new
towns along the route. Ono of these ,
and the only one of them which is sit
uated in Montgomery county , is El
liott. some twelve mUea north of the
mala line cf the 0. , B. & Q. It is
pleasantly located in the valley of the
east Nishnabotna river in a wonder
fully productive region , and Is certain
to become some day a shipping point
of no small importance. Mr. G. M.
Smiley , the leading grain merchant of
the place , informed me that even now
fourteen cars of grain a day is no un
usual shipment.
During my brief aojourtl In this
prosperous little town , moat of the
lead.DR biiaincsj men and citizens had
the pleasure of forming my acquain
tance. Dr. Wilson A. Smith , ex-
local editor of the Peoria , ( Ills. , ) daily
Transcript , was particularly kind in
affording me much interesting Information
mation concerning the paSt ( present
and prospective future of the town.
I also met Mr. 0. C. Bate ? , well
known in Iowa journalism and whom
I found busily engaged in getting out
the first number of a weekly journal
to be known as the Elliott Enterprise.
11ED OAK ,
the county seat of Montgomery coun
ty , on the C. , B. & Q , has become so
well known to the general public that
but little need be said of its situation
or appearance. A branch road run
ning south to Nebraska City and the
road aforementioned , draining the
territory of the north of its rich pos
sessions , constitutes this place an im
portant junction. It is also a dining
point for all east bOUnd nnrt went
bound trains , and has become famoUd
for its excellent hotel facilities ; and
here let me mention that the Judkins
Bros. , the Lelands of Iowa , bavo re
cently erected an elegant three-story
brick hotel , v iich for elegance and
comfort is second to none weat of the
Mississippi. Nothing that scienca or
art can suggest and money procure ,
for the comfort of guests , has Ldan
omitted.
Commerc'al tourists are peculiar for
the strong attachments which they
form for certain hotels , and the old
' 'Central ' by Lockart and Shattuck ,
has its host of friends , as its daily
register attests , who are proof against
the tempting luxury which the new
hotel afford * .
Red Oak is an Omaha in embryo ,
; its virtues and its vices ,
ut notably so in the business thrift
and enterprise of its citizens.
The chief topics of conversation
which agitated the public mind during
my visit there , were , a prospective
system of waterworks , the congres
sional canvass and the crops. If I
mistake not the spirit of thn citizens
it will not be Ions when the water
works will be a reality. As to the re
publican [ congressional canvass I
must say that the honors have
been hotly contested for. and it is
yet Impossible to decide Upon
which of the candidates the choioe of
the district convention will falL Four
lawyers , of state notoriety , are in the
field : F. W. Sapp , of Council Bluffs ,
the present incumbent ; J. Y. Stone ,
of Glenwood , ex speaker of the house
of representatives ; "Pete" Hepburn ,
of Clarinda , Page county , and Major
A. R. Anderson , of Fremont county.
At present writing.Mr. Sapp controls
more of the delegates than any of the
other candidates , but has by no means
a majority. The manner in which he
obtained as many as he Jias is ques
tionable to .say the least. The
republican organ of Red ,0ak
and a great , many of the citizens of
the county accuse the gentleman cf
having packed the primaries by a lib
eral use of money.t The Iowa State
Register of Des Moincs puts its finger
in the pie and unhesitatingly asserts
that Chapman , of The Council Bluffs
Nonpareil , ia the dark horse in the
race , and the general opinion in the
district Is that "Barkis is willln' , " if
not anxious. TUEO. GOKHAM.
Omaha Primaries. '
Plallsmcuth Enterprise.
Republicans in Omaha are at logger
heads. Rosewaterbelieves in regis
tration in the primaries and the other
side does riot. The fight ia all their
own , but wo have a hope that their
primaries may bo BO conducted that
democrats from this city who happen
to be in Omaha at primary meeting
time cannot come home and make
their brags about voting in republican
primaries at Omaha. It Is an act in
political warfare not according to the
eternal fitness of things in our opinion.
