It is an oxpc eition that is well worth Booing. WIIK.V an American visits Canada no\ Iho first question askoa him la ' 'Wlm bank did you rob , and how much did yoi got away with ? " So.FAu as ngo ia concerned Mrs. Belv Lockwood ia eligible to the presidency By her acceptance of the nomination ol the woman's equal rights party , aho acknowledges that she ia over 35 , whtcl u a frank admission for a woman. THE voice of Senator Van Wyck ha booh hoard throughout the land. Hi recent Burl county apoocb , in which It denounced the state board of publi lands on account of Iho school lam frauds , ia beginning to have its effect ii every section of the state. THE Nebraska state fair opened ana picioualy. The displays in every department mont have never boon excelled for qua ! ity.or quantity. The attendance yesterday day was very largo , and with fair wcath or during the roat of the week the expo aition promises to bo a big financial BUG ccaa. IT looks rather odd for an inauranci company , which makoa pretensions to being ing firat-claaa , to appear on the atati fair ground and exhibit ilaclf by moani of a tent. It reminds one very much 01 a circus , while the cheek of the thing if equalled only by that of a lightning rod peddler. The Iowa and Nebraska insur ance company's agcnta ought to give the farmers of Nebraska a rest for ono week at least. How it must vex the soul of John 0 Now to have the country newspapers ( aj the Omaha Republican is doing ) confounc his paper , the Journal , with the Indian apolis Sentinel on the attack on Blaine Chicago Acttt. Not at all I John C. Now ia not vexed by a country paper that circulates Icae than 800 copies in the city of Omaha , and scarcely ever hoard of outaido. THK stroot-aprinkling as now carried on does little or no good. Farnam and Douglas streets , for instance , are sprink led , but the cross streets are loft un touched , probably because there are not enough persons on these streets who are willing to pay for the sprinkling. Tnc consequence is that a south or north wind scoops up clouds of dust from the amootli pavomontnnd8otsitllyingn.il ever the city. The duat is even rrorso than it was before - fore the streets were paved.fo have effectually got rid of the mud in the busi nosa center of the city , and now wo oughl to got rid of the dust , which is really t worse nuiaanco than the mud. Tin sprinkling should bo extended to the cross streets , and if the persona doinp business on those thoroughfareu uro not willing to pay the expanse , some other moans should bo devised for defraying the cost. If every person would pay hit just proportion , the expense for each one would bo but a moro trifle , but when more than one-half refuse to pay , tin tax becomes a buraon on the other half , aa well as an injustice , and wo cannot blame thorn for refusing to pay. WUO AUK TnmrI -oiigroaaional convention has boon hold , and the work of the 142 delegate ! accomplished , In what that convention did the ftcc./ournal takes pride , AVhilo there were other good , worthy ant patriotic men presented for nomination , the convention was wise in aeloctin ( ; lion. James Laird to make the race , and wo believe there is no possibility of defeating foating him. It ia our opinion that tin votora will see that it is to tholr advan tage to give him their votes. Ho wil certainly receive the support of a groal many democrats and anti-monopolists , at well as the whole of the ropublicat strength. This ho surely dcnarvos. JJaniif/8 Gmcttc JoiiriKil. Who are the democrats that will vote for James Laird ? Are they the men thai were in partnership with Liird In UK Stinking Water frauds ? Are they the men who have boon favored with passei over the B. & M. ? Are they the acctioii hands who obey the dictatca of the rail roadbocttes ? Who are the anti-monopolists that will vote for James Laird ? Are they the bo. gua anti-monopolists who arohiredby the railroads to go to conventions to create disturbances ? Is not the Hastings C/ascllc-Journnl lightly exaggerating when it says that all the republicans of the district propose to give their votes to James Liird ? When the ( Jazcttc-Journul says it Is 'Ho their advantage" to vote for him , it rominda us of the stereotyped ad vortisomont ; "By calling at this otiica you will loam some thing to ybur advantage , " 7Y/7- : SCHOOL LAND FliAUl The testimony of several witnesses 1 boon taken in the matter of the KG county school land leases , and some tercnting developments are made. I Stollo , of North 1'lnlto , gives eomo i portant evidence. According tohia sta mont Mr. Corn , of Omaha , cimo North Platte on the i0th ! rf May to eli a contract in regard to school land lea in Lincoln county , for which ho ofloi $4,000. After consldorablo dickorii Dorn backed out nnd wouldn't como terms. Ho then asked Stollo about t Keith county lands , and waa told tl they had not boon appraiacd as no ngn mont had boon reached on the prli Stollo was ono of the appraisers a Dorn asked him if ho couldn't Pill out t appraisement in two or three days so could take the appraisement down wi him. Stollo , in answer to the inquii said the appraisement would run frc fifty conta to 84 per acre , and Do remarked that there was no money in appraisement like that. Dorn told Sto and Beach that they would not have shadow of a show of getting an inch that school land as long as Kendall w in olllcoas land commissioner. Jio th offered to give § 2,000 if Stollo would fi ish the appraiuomont , so that ho con take it down to Lincoln when tl commissionora mot , at from 25 to f conta an aero. Stollo toatifiou that 1 ( Stollc ) did not want any money , and th lie never would appralso the land at at such pricoi , that it waa impossible m&ko out the appraisement in three day > nd that there would bo no time loft publish the land for ualo. 'Dorn , hoi aver , assured him that ' -Kondn would take the risk of leasing the lar irithout it being ottered for sale Btollo would not agree to anything that kind , and was then told by Don that ho hud no show of any land Keith county , and that ho had bolt take a sure thing. When Stollo roplii that if there waa any such scheme i that in view , Kendall would never n uoivo the appraisement , as wouldn't bo aont in unl now commissioner vras oloctoi Dorn , who aooma to have had a porfo understanding with Knndall , said that 1 iroiild got duplicate descriptions of tl ichool land and get other appraisers a\ \ jointed. It oooms from the evidence thi Doru , after making several tempting o era to Stollo , failed to accomplish his elect oct , nnd proceeded to carryouthia throi md in this ho finally aucccedod. H irocured n duplicate liat of tli ands , and soon aftorwari ocurod the appointment o LOW appraisers , who immediately { iraiscd the land and sent in the ap iraisomont to Lincoln , all thia boiti ] lone before Stollo found it out. N lotico or advertisement of the land w a mblishod. The evidence of Stollo is corroborate > y other witnesses , and it is ahow hroughout that Kendall waa in colluaioi rith parties who wanted to least ho Keith county landa at appraisement ppraisomont of from 25 to 50 conta a ere , when in fact they are worth fret hroo to five dollars on acre. Mr. Ken all know well enough the real value c ho lands , yet ho allowed Iho state to b obbcd by a nominal appraisement , whio ! ras made in an underhanded and irrogu > r manner , and so aocrotly that no on xcopt those in the ring had any show what vor to secure any of the land. That th jasos have boon recalled does not oxon rote Mr. Kendall or the board of publi uids , of which Governor Dawos am locrotary Roggon are mnmbora. It i vidont that Mr. Dorn know what ho wa alking about when ho wna dickerini rith ytollo. Ho had evidently arrange ! natters satisfactorily with Kendall , fo rhom no excuse whatever can bo ofl'orod ? ho conduct of Kendall in the Koitl ounty school land leases ia only a Bum ilo of what ho has donoin other couutic hroughout Iho state. Ho Imi stood ii rith the land-grabbing rinu'H everywhere nd there is no tolling to what extent In las feathered his nest. Yet it ia main lined by BOIIIO that the father member f the board of public lands were not ro ponsiblo for these frauds bocaus hey did not know what was going on a it not the business of the governor niici ooretary ofslate ta know what is goiii ) n in iho board of public works , of whicl hey are members ? Over two years ago ho operations of Kendall waa fully ox osod by TUB BEU , and his conduct bo auto a matter of notoriety and comment Vhy .did not Governor Dawe r Secretary lloggan take some actioi a they were in duty bound to do ? Thoi an make no plausible defense for thoi eng continued silence on the frauds tha mvo robbed the people of thia alato o ivor 1,000,000 , acres of laud for a porioe if twonty.Hvo years , and yet the ropub lean state convention by ronominatini .hem endoHcs tholr conduct and nski ho republican to vote for thorn. Oat ho honest republican * of Nebrasica nf ord to do it ? Can they swallow thii nsult to their manhood nnd intelligence iVo think not. A When it waa firat made known tha 'rivato Henry , of the Grooly expedition raa killed by a military execution na i luniahment for his contiuuod theft o iroilaions , the Btatoiuont waa generally ccoptod aa truo. It wa * believed ho ro eived a military trial , that ho was dull onvietud , that eoiitonco waa formallj ronouuced upon him , and that ho was hot , according to the usual cuatom y appointed oxocutioncrs. Kov sines Sergeant Fredericks , and givei hat ia probably the correct voraion o : lie affair , Frodericke , who waa ono oi ie men who killed Henry , tays thai enry had been warned several time about stealing food , but ho repeated tl offense , xn'i finally Grcclcy issued an c dor for LM execution. Three gunn we were loaded two with ball and 01 with blank cartridge , nnd Frederick Long and lirninnrd wore detailed carry out the order. They found Hon in the very act of stealing sealskins , at approaching within twenty yards of hit they fired and Henry dropped dead , ha ing bcon shot in the back , the two bal having both tnkcn effect. Wo are to in the dispatches that they were coi polled to do thia because Henry w strong and active , and had ho imspccti their Intentions ho could easily ha' ' killed thorn. So It scorns after all th Uonry had no trial but was simply ah down without warning , nnd that too i the back. Notwithitnnding all the o tromo circumstances of the case , it wi certainly n most singular proceodin Whether Ilonry was oaten by his con paniona haa not yet positively boon asco tainod , as his remains have not yet boo examined , owing to the fact that tl county authorities in Now Yorl where ho is burled , refuse to defray th expenses of his exhumation , althoug hia aiator has expressed her wish for a nvostigatlon. It is quito likely the every obstacle posaiblo will bo thrown i the way of an investigation , for obviot ronaone , by interested parties. Th probability ia that Ilonry was in goot healthy condition , and if anybody \ rite to bo killed for the purpose c keeping alive the rest of th party his body would furnish moro fee than that of any other member of the oa podltlon. Cannibalism was no doubt th last resort , and the conduct of Honr furniahod an oxcuao for hia death Grcoly quietly issued an order for hia execution ocution , and it was as quietly carrie out. This is probably the true story c Henry's death.Yhothor , under th circumstances , ho was fairly dealt with is an open quoation. The only oxcusi for the manner of the oxocutio : ia that necessity knows no law Some people will call hia execution cold bloododaiaasalnation , and will natur ally inquire why ho was not tried am given some opportunity to prepare fo death and to send some last word to hi sister , and other rola'ivos ' , if ho had any Ho could easily have boon captured under dor cover of guns , and had ho roslstei arrest , then he could have boon juatifi ably shot down and no question whatever over could have boon raised. The attempt of the Jicpubllcan t < croalo a great hubbub about the failure o : the asphalt company to lay granite blocki on the outer edges of the Sixteenth street railway , is merely done for the purposool diverting public attention from the ras cally methods that are being pui-sucd bj the agents of Colorado sandstone to forct that inferior paving material upon thii community. Granting that what hai boon charged concerning the Barboi asphalt company is true , there is reallj nothing very serious to make such a hue and cry about. It is notorious that the Sixteenth street pavement waa laid jusl before the laat state fair in a great hurry , in response to the pressing demands ol the buainosa men of that thoroughfare , who wanted it completed before the fail began. Had the asphalt men put in the t-ranlto blocka they could not posaibly linvo finiahed their work before the fair. Besides the street cara were running on the trncka , and thia , too , would have in- orforod with the work aomowhat. In asmuch as the asphalt company haa deposited - posited § 5,000 as a guarantee that they will complete the work according to : ontract t hero can bo no loss to the city Iho street ia now certainly in splendid sonditlon , and will bo koptso , as the as phalt company ia compelled to keep it in repair for five years , nnd before the ex piration of that period it will doubtless finish the job according to contract. It : ortainly cannot do so now without clos ing the street , nnd the property owners uid business men of that thoroughfare ; ro not disposed to have themselves fenc ed in when they can just as well got along without it , especially in the busy season jf the year. Hut , IIH wo have said before , the main ) bjt'ct ot thia assault on the Barber as- ) halt company is to create a diversion for : ho impostora who are procuring aigna- .urea , under falao pretenses , to petitions 'or paving our streets with Colorado landstono. The chief agent of the aand- itone , Councilman Woodworth , haa oprosontod to - various pors ons unong them being Mrs. Olnrkson , : hat there ia a difference of J1.HO in favor of the Colorado atone as : omparod with Sioux Folia granite. Thia is a deliberate falsehood as there ia mrdly any difference. Other property mnurs have boon inveigled into signing lis petitions by the statement that they vould bo compelled to pay for paving and [ uttering at once if they chose Sioux Mis granite or asphalt , but if they se eded Colarado sandstone they would ywo five years in which to pay their axes for curbing nnd guttering. Now ho law ia very clear on this point. Jndor the law curbing and guttering nro o bo paid for separately , no matter * hat material is used for paving , and the iroporty owners must pay when the tax s levied , and the work is completed nnd iccoptcd. Wo shall not mince matters any lon ger. Councilman Woolworth is ; uilly of misdemeanor every lay of the year n , long na l,0 icta us agent for Colorado sandstone and u contractor for furnuhiiiK ennd to oth- > r contractors. The law is vnry plain on hia matter. It eays that no councilman an bo directly or indirectly interested in ny contract with the city , When n ounellman can vote himself a contract rom which ho derives an income nnd profit ho may aa well tnko a bribe ( rectlv Councilman Woodworth must rosi | from the council or go out of business agent and contractor. If ho docs not i sign , steps will bo taken to enforce t law in his case. TUB latest lunk failure has dovolopc some unusually sensational feature The Now Brunswick , Now Joraoy , n tional bank failed on Saturday , the d ficioncy being reported at from § 200,01 to 3250,000. Mr. Hill , the cashier , wl had bcon Bpoculating with the mono ; promptly committed suicide instead rannlng away to Canada. And no comes the startling lutolligcnco th President Ilunyon has followed the o ; ample of the cashier. This ia a prot quick way of Bottling their account There are a host of other dishonest ai speculating bank ofl'uiala who ought do the same thing. In their death Ilu : yon and Hill exhibited n manly romori at least for their broach of trust. The ahowod that they preferred death to living disgrace , and no doubt tin never intended to steal a cent , but ha ing boon tempted into the whirlpool c apeculatlon they continued to lese , ho ] itig each day to rotrivo their lossea , ai : replace the funds fioy had appropriate to their own uso. It ia ho same ol story. They were unexpectedly caugl short , the crisis came , and they wei ruined. To them perhaps , their ow disgrace and ruin were not so much r the ruin and distress they had brougl upon confiding patrons and friends. VOIOE OF THE STATE PEESE The Lincoln Slate. West 1'oint Republican , The recent Omaha convention waa coi trolled by a "alato" coflibination.offonsiv and defensive , with the county of Lai castor as the center , and the city of Lie coin , with its state administration , a dictator ! So strong was thia organizatio and so arbitrary was its action that wit one possibly two exceptions the roput lican ticket of Nebraska waa practical ! named and nominated by the slate o Lincoln. The nominations were mad with a rocklosa diarogard of merit and jus slaims , of nationality , and the rights o localities. While , it ia true , some of th : andidate3 named are worthy and wol qualified , yet the nominations as a whol wore unfairly distributed , and in semi instances were bestowed upon these whi tvoro not entitled to the recognition givoi iy the dominant party of Nebraska Fhoro is no doubt but that the unwisi md ungenerous action of the combinatioi yill have a tendency to weaken the ticket md while it will undoubtedly bo electee withono _ possible exception seeds o liasenaion have boon moro recklessly sowi hia year than over before , and , if per iatod in during years to follow , it la noi mprobablo that tares will spring up it ho fields where golden grain haa lonj icon grown and garnered.

The question now is , how many lesson will the leaders who manipulate republi can conventions and caucuses in Nobraak require in order to bo brought within th pale of common decency ? How long wil the honoat masacs of the party of ou commonwealth submit to the dictation o political bummers and shyatera.

The day ii fast passing away when a republican nom nation in Nebraska is equivalent to at election. Power in the hands of an unacru- iulous politician is aa dangerous to the people of the state aa would bo a reckless uid vicious engineer to the passengers in liia train. That because the national republican party 13 engaged in a preai- lential contest , it must necessarily follow , hat political trickstora can by unfairness md for unfair purposes put up unworthy : andidatcs and necessarily pull them hrough for the reason that it ia a irpsldontial campaign may prove to bo a nistako.

Ever Dflico except that of auditor waa gobble ! up by the South Platt counties aa vera siously aa a hungry hog goeaforit rations. The Advocate would like ti isk the republicans of North Nebraski if it isn't about time to recognize fo ; nutual protection and support , and t < lomand their share of the oflicos fron future state conventions ? Beyond llecognltioii , Vrapalioo Mirror. Jim Laird managed , by his well-kno'wr orrupt practices and railroad backing , tc ontroHho congressional convention , but t remains to bo soon whether the people an bo controlled in a like manner at the oils. When an opponent like Capt. Stickles , Mr. Laird will find it up-hill rork to pull through , even -with the aid f a presidential campaign , as the pres- nt indications are that he will bo zratched beyond recognition. Platform Platitudes , 'lattsmouth Herald. The platform adopted by the ropubli- m convention , is in the main , a fair tatoment of republican doctrines and oliofs , yet , when one rcada it , it be- 3tnes oridont aa ia the case with a mjority of party platforms , that a largo ortion of the material worked into it , 5 give it a formidable appearance , might ave boon loft at homo with advantage. Especially do wo believe that the Ighth plank or paragraph of thia plat- > rm could have been safely omitted , here ia a very largo majority of the otert who make up the rank and file f the republican party in Nebraska who atortain very decided convictions upon io quoation of the regulation of our febraska railways , and who are natur- lly very auapicioua of any party reso- ition upon the subject , which is capa- lo of doubtful , or double construction. Just what view the honest republican t anti-monopolist tendencies may take E tin's paragraph in the declaration of rlnciplpa laid down by the Omaha con- mventiou ia hard to surmise. That our nnuion enemy will enquire what wo loan when wo any : Wo recognize as a prime necessity for 10 ratification of our party in Nebraska : id for the conservation of the peace and rospority of the state , a statute rogula- ng pur railroads according to a fixe ( ' rinciplo of justice which shall make a1 ipital equal before the law , lyono can easily conjecture , and jua aw "all capital is to bo made equal bo ire the law" when the American rail ay , os a common carrier , is compiler i treat ito patrons fairly , is a problem orthy of Widow Butler and her party The Herald ia of the opinion that i ain declaration in favor of direct legia tion , compelling the railroada of tin ate , to give to the producer nnd trades an , fair treatment ; or in favor of the cation , by law , of a strong , well guarded ilroad commission in the intoresta of o producer and shipper , would have ion received with much greater favo : ' the people of the atato. However , i lubtleaa waa the intention of the statea an who poatulated paragraph eight , o.
