To the People of ( lie United Stuicn ; The movement to secure funds for the erection of n monument over Gen. James A. Qnrlicld is being responded to from all soctioiiH of the country , aat , west , south and north. In order to make it popular , it is desirable for the citizens of nil the states to imme diately organize. Tlio cornmittco re spectfully requests private banks and bankers and postmasters to receive contributions to this fund and remit tlio same to the Second National bank of Cleveland which lias boon desig nated as the trcsuror of this fund. Also send the names and postoflico nd- - dresses of contributors. THE QAKFIELD MONUMENT COM. In response to this call TUB BEE -vrould earnestly urge upon all patri otic citizens who desire to perpetuate the memory of the lamented president tn contribute their mite to the pro posed national monument. In this city contributions will ho re ceived at the following named bank ing houses : First Nalional bunk , . Omaha National bank , State bank of Nebraska , and Caldwell , Hamilton & Co. Co.AVo AVe would also urge the organiza tion of local and state monument as sociations. Patrons of THE BKK may forward their contributions di rect to this oflico and wo shall ac knowledge the receipt of all such contributions - ' tributions through the columns of THE BEE. To many Nebaskans the slatq is more important just now than the state. * . NOBODY from Nebraska-has as yet } " put in a bid for a position in Arthur's cabinet. A THOUSAND able bodied patriqts are anxious to shod ink for their suilor- ing country in various county oflicos. THE contract for the Douglas coun ty court house has finally boon'lot. At the present rate of progress it will bo occupied by January 1st , 1081. TUB railroad forces nro pretty well distributed throughout the state and the interesting farce entitled "Gulling the Grangers , " is in active rehearsal and will soon bo put upon the boards. TUB Lincoln papers are jubilant over the glorious victory which the railroad lumd jobbers have won in carrying the bond election. Just wait till the railroad mortgage begins to draw interest and thcro will not bo BO much rejoicing. ' ' . w IN connection with the rumor that David Davis will occupy the vico-pres- l idont'a chair in the senate , it may bo well to state that the price of black walnut lumber has risen and the con tract for the now iron braced seat jihould bo lot as soon ns possible. Tun people in the Elkhorn valley have suffered very novoro loss from the destructive , cyclone , and wo hope generous Omaha will respond to their I * J'appeal . .with her proveabial liberality. Up to this hour the full extent of the damage can not bo ascertained and it is to bo hoped that Stanton and Madison - ison are the only towns wrecked. TJII : rumor is again revived that , changes in the management of the Chicago , Burlington & Quinoy road will soon take place and that Manager A , E. Touzalin will remove from our city to make Ins headquarters in Bos- ' ton. The report is premature. From the best authority obtainable it is learned ( hat no such change is at pres ent con torn plated. Tins iinancial exhibit of the state fair which wo print elsewhere is de cidedly unfavorable. Wo cannot , an J s yet , fix the bla'mo upon any individual member of the board of managers , . "but tho.deficit shows that there was cither criminal negligence or down right stealing somewhere. A thorough investigation ought to be instituted by the'board at n early day. OUR POLITICAL EDUOA-nOP The absorbing interest manifesto by our pcoploin political nflhirs an the manifest intolligencn with wliic questions of grave public policy ni discussed by the inawos throughnt the United Ktntcs , has excite i con mont from foreign journals. In n ri cent issue , < v lending Englieh nowsp : per , which has never been accused < partiality to our country or its pcopli remarked that America's education r its citi/cns in all that gods to make u the highest qualifications for intcll gent citizenship is oven more remnrli able than the elementary education which she gives to her children in th common schools. This statement while doubtless in tended to be complimentary is at th same time based on n mistaken idc of our methods of political education America possesses no special scliools ncadomius or colleges in which tin science of politics is studied to the ox elusion of other branches of knowledge lodge ; nor duos she require any nucl institutions. Our methods of political education cannot be studied npnrl From our common school system , om : > f the most fundamental principles elf ) f wnich is that universal education is : ho only safeguard and bulwark oi Jnivorsal suffrage. Within the schools , vhich n broad and benefiuicnt policj las placed in every city , village and lamlot throughout our country , the ihildrcn of the land lay the founda- .ion for a knowledge which is to fit .hem to fulfil the duties which they > wo to the state through a thorough mdorstanding of what thosj duties .re. . This is the first stop in every Linorican'B political education , and it i through this agency alone that our ountry so cosily assimilates hundreds f thousands of foreigners into its iody politic and converts their chil- Iron into intelligent voters and useful itizcns of the republic. But another element in our methods f political education must not bo verlooked. Wo refer to the press , n no other nation nro affairs of state nd public policy so freely discussed s in ourown ; and in no other nation ro the readers of public journals so umorous. Every issue of an Amori- in newspaper devotes a portion of its pace to the discussion of current oliticSjthoqualiflcationsof candidates , 10 records of parties , and th asis upon which individuals an odics of men appeal for popular sup 9rt. The influence of the publL rcss in popular education is hardl as than that of the schools. In near- thirty millions of issues a year th nowlodgo of public affairs , of nation movements , of party platforms , o : ate , county and municipal politics iroad before ono hundred and fifty illions of readers , Free discussion political matters , vitally interesting * ' every American because every merican is a citizen of the republic m itself a strong incentive to scl quisition of knowledge. - . Still another element in the diflu- an of political education among our loplo comes from the Tory form and mposition of our government. No 'onuo of success or preferment in ilitical life is barred to the humblest our people. The plow boy , the iver'on the tow-path , can fill the csidontial chair if ho proves him- If worthy of the confidence and sped of the people. llirth id station , which elsewhere nro undations of political preferment can * i discounted intho United States by iory and intelligence. No nation i the globe o ors the same inducc- ents for intelligent and educated tizonship , and the result is Been in , o admitted fact that no nation on 10 globe possesses such an intelligent id educated body of voters as our rn. DENVEU is just experimenting with 0 electric light as a substitute for -s , but the illumination during the st few nights does not1 appear itiroly satisfactory. Down in X [ loans electric lighting is > to bo at- mpted on a very extensive scale. 10 Now Orleans Democrat tolls us at ixrrangementH have been com- uted for the introduction of the rush oloctrio light on the wharves nf e city. The "plant , " it nays , will 1 ono ot the largest in the world , sting $35,000 , and consisting of 10 largo tower at the head of inal street , with some 100 lamps retched along the river front , a dis- nco of five miles. The tower will rry a light of ; ! 2,000 candle power , d will illuminate a distance of half inilo in every direction. The lamp eve and below that point will bo of u same capacity and appearance as ese at Spanish Fort or West End , d will furuish the wharves with a lit abundant for all purposes of mmorco. A NOVKL solution of the Indian oblotn has boon broached by Gen ii Fremont. Ho proposes that tlio litod States should purchase Lower lifornia from Mexico and use it ns > ! ace of uxilo for intraotiblo savuuus tore escape would be impossible ! o narrow tongue of land embracing wer California contains over 00,000 inro miles of land , Darren , uiiinhnb- J , and useless for agricultural pur- ) cs. At its northern extremity it jnly sovonty-fivo miles wide , and ssod fornimrly this distance by tno erSan Qucntin. A few companies of troops could easily prevent the cscap of the imprisoned tribes and insur the safty of the neighboring country This proposal of Oon. Fremont i heartily endorsed by the Qlofa-jDemt cral , which says : It ought not toll n diflicult matter to strike a bargai with Mexico for this piece of proport whichsho docs not want , At five cent nn acre the of the land would b some 52,000,000 , and wo mitiht giv another $2,000,000 for the good will Five millioi : do'l.irs woula bo n liii ; but not nn oxhorbilant prico" to pa ; for it. To this country it would rep resent merely a fortnight's trcasUr. surplus ; to Mexico it would rcpreson just the amount needed to mnko i whole year's ' payment of her railroai subsidies and secure the building o many millions of dollars worth of rail road. Thcro nre , according to tin latest census , some 211,000 inhabitant ! who might expect some indemnity fo ; the danger to their scalps. Ai , J. M. RUSK , the Wiscon sin Republican nominee for the gov- ernorahip , is exceedingly populai among the people of his state. He ii a self-mndo man who began his lifo at a. stage driver when Wisconpin was n territory , and who has since grown uy with the country. Prior to the wai ho served two terms in the legislature and was made state bank comptroller. When the war broke out ho raised n regiment and gained the straps of n brigadier-general by meritorious ser vices. Ho was sent to co.igrass from the seventh Wisconsin district which last fall rolled up 12,000 ma jority for General Garlicld. General Rusk will bo remembered as a dole- jato to the Chicago convention who took on active part in the nomination ) f James A. Garfield , and it is said ; lmt had the late president lived ho iruuld have rewarded his friend by an mportant federal appointment. TIIK present doctrine of the senate s "That the oflicc of the of president ) ro tempore is held nt the pleasure of ho senate. " This was adopted Jan- iary 12 , 1870 , after a long debate unning , with interruptions , through i week or more. By virtue if this rule the majority of ho senate can make and un- nako presidents pro tern , at discre- ion. Should , therefore , a minority uccood in organizing the senate by rbitrarily keeping now senators from aking their scats at the opening of ho session , the full senate may ubsequontly defeat this little rab by choosing a presiding fliccr to suit themselves. The difii- ulty in tlio present case Is that , as lie full senate is tied and an organ- nation once perfected can not bo over- urned except by a majority , the of- ccs once filled by the democrats mst remain with that party until 10 republicans can secure ono more oto. Notwithstanding the statements in 10 Omaha papers that the State Ac- cultural Society worosono thousands toad on balancing up accounts on the .to fair , yet wo arc reliably informed mfc the society is seven or eight lousand dollars out. Wo regret to urn that such is a fact , but it is ono ir which the managers are in no way isppnsiblo. They made the mostex- nsivo and complete arrangements rer made for a fair in any state , and it for the heavy storm in the midst 1 the proceedings there would have ) on no financial shortage. Jllair Hat. , Wo fear the shortage is not alto- ither duo to the bad weather and wo 'o not disposed to acquit the board of 1 blame. There was gross misman- [ omont Bomowhoro and the fair ould have been n partial failure oven ith the most favorable weather. AccoiiniKo to late reports from the unit district in Michigan a great umber of the unfortunate farmers in 'ortheastorn Michigan , who lost leir homes by the recent forest con- igration , had them insured in the lutual local insurance companies BO opular in Michigan and other western ates , and that they will never rq- vor a dollar of compensation. These impanies do very well when the calities covered by their policies are sited only by individual losses ; but hen , as in Michigan , a whole district involved in the calamity , there nro > no to assess thu losses upon. Now that the composition of the nato has been decided on , there nro any enquiries relative to the balance parties in the next house of roprc- ntatives. The most accurate figures o us follows : Republicans 147. dem- rats 1J4 ! , groonbackers 0 , readjusts - s 2. The readjustee nro followers Mahono , and ivill probably act with o republicans , as will also Kovoral of D grecnbackersjthus giving the party jood working majority nml a ropub- an organization throughout.

The Wh'lto river , of the Rock mountains is the most considcrabl Iribulary of the great Color.ido rive of the West , which empties into th Gulf of California. The streams v Colorado beyond tlio main range v the Rocky mountains flow into th White river. It runs between the set tlcmonts just beyond the ramie known nn the Gunnison country am Utah. The Gmmison river i a tributary of White river The Denver and Rio Grami railroad , which has crossed tin range of the Rocky mountains to Gun nison , is endeavoring to push its lim on beyond Wliito river towards Utah An engineering party which had von turcd beyond the White river , a fov lays since , wore mot and turned bad by the Ute Indians. The chief o the surveyors returned to Lcadvillt after finding it impossible to induci men to work in face of the danger ! which threatened. Ho probably rhni little nppotito for the work himself. It is not diflicult to see why the Indians refuse to permit this inv sion of their territory. This railroad en terprise proposes another ot the fatal inroads which make the continued ex istence of their race in their wild tribal mode impossible. The St. Louis and San Francisco road is push ing a line west from Albuquerque through their country. Tlio Indians thus apprehend their doom. There are now built and projected five cast and west railroads through terri tory lately occupied by wild tribes und abounding in buffalo , elk , ante lope and Till smaller game , which Afforded the food upon which they lived. This game cannot exist near sivilization or in a country traversed by railroads. These Indians , without government aid , are now reduced to the imminent risk of starvation. From sheer desperation , therefore thoyrcsist the further encroachment of the ivhites on hunting grounds already re- luced to dimensions wholly inadu- juato to supply the means of existence n their nomadic state. That this mrvoying party , entirely in their lower was permitted to escape with L warning is evidence that these poole - ) lo nro not as wantonly blood-thirsty is thpy are generally supposed to bo. There remains but ono rational jolicy for the government , and that is , o close in upon all wild Indians , vhercver possible , and under a pro- ectorato subsist the entire remnant if the race. After what has already icon done to make their own chosen ifo impossible for the Indians must low either depredate or starve hu- nanity demands that their subsistence hould be provided for by the govorn- nont. Humanity and economy alike cquire it. * Our Indian policy now requires an nnual expenditure of about § 6,000- ' 00. The outside estimate of the . -hole number of wild Indians in the orritory within the jurisdiction of the inion puts the aggregate tit :500,000. : 'his is probably greutly in excess ot ho fact. Such of them as are wild ml untamable , and- would ro- lain a charge on the government , ould bo maintained for much ) sa than is now paid on direct ac- unt of them , and in maintaining istant and expensive military posts , nd in wars with them. But it is de- tared , there is always ' 'catching be- > rc hanging , " and wo have no mili- try force adequate to the achieve- lent of their capture and reduction i obedience. But could not the hole question bo ended by a cain- lign "short , sharp and decisive , " for Inch the government could call out i .irresistible force ot that frontier > pulation which BO much covets the rritory now in dispute.

If the administra- II should put him in the opposition , /ould nominate him for the succca- i. Therefore , in selecting a first ) cabinet , wo trust that it will not forgotten by the president that Mr. Blaine is nn eligible secretary t state , and that ho has gained nn muc in popular estimation in the hat si months ns anybody has lost. There are persons , wo understand who blame Postmaster-General Jainc for two things. First , for accepting cabinet appointment when Scnntti Conklinwanted to put a Wall strut man of his own into the treasury , nn second , for not resigning when Conli ling and Plntt did so. The presum } : tion hero is , that Conkling had th sole right to dispose of everything 11 Now York : and that , wo nro of opiti ion , is n mistake. James was niubi tious to bo postmaster-general liecaus ho know himself capable of doing great nnd good work for the countr ; by improving the postal service. H' has done it cutting out i huge swindle and saving th country n vast sum. This wor ] has attracted the attention of the pee pie in a rcmarknblo degree , and i would bo u fearful blunder to under estimate it. James protested a nins Robertson's appointment , but did noi resign , for reasons which those wh < did resign nnd those who sympathise with them in doing so , ought by thii time to appreciate. lie was in a en rocr of usefulness that ho did no propose to abandon. Now it woulc bo very diflicult to remove the post mastcr-cenoral without making tin impression that it is n measure tc please the star-routo nngsturs who had so fair a start foi the penitentiary , and have been convicted by the documents made puohc of ono of the largest nnci most artistic robberies over planned. When Go eral Grant was prcsidonl and the district attorney of Louisiana got the proof that Col. Casey , the ' brother-in-law in the general's - - , was whisky ring the brother-in-law , - - was not tried , but the district attorney waa removed. This , wo trust , is not an uxamplo to bo followed. There is not , wo think , much danger of the remov al of Collector Robertson. Are not the Now York senators his friends ? Is not the "courtesy of the senate" to be respected ? The State Fair. The state fair drew an immense at tendance , but it must bu admitted lid not come up to the oxpocta- ; ions of those who attended it. From ; ho advertised list of attractions , , hey reasonably supposed this would > o an improvement over that of last roar , but it is pronounced by many lot so good. It partook too much of iharactcr of a circus which failed to icrform what it advertised ; the olec- ric light was a fizzle-the balloon lidn't go up and the famous trotters romother states didn't come and ho exhibit , which would have icon a fair one for Wush- iigton county , did not do jus- ice to the crops and inoxhaust- tile resources of the great state of Nebraska. Without "Cheap John" ttractiona ( for whoso failure wo do ot blame the board of managers. ) Jobraska contains within her borders , rom the ono hundreth meridian to lie Missouri , and from Dakota to lie Kansas line , enough solid merit nd utility in the magnificent range f her productions to make aTstate fair i the proper sense of the word.

Blair Republi- in. in.Tho The state fair haa closed , leaving an upression with many of those who ttonded that it was not what it should ave been. The people at large look pen the Nebraska state fair for the ear 1881 as a gigantic failure , and icy ore about right.
