Tim lt < < | iiilIlonn ) founty Convention.
The ticket nominated by the iJouglax
county republicans on Saturday Is excel
lent In nianv respects it is the Wrong
est that ban been nominated for years.
Tinvtiiiotis elements of tin' party are
well represented , and while some candi
dates who failed to secure a nomination
mi : > feel disappointed over the result ,
nobody can charge that corrupt or unfair
methods were resorted to by the success
ful men.
Mr. William Coburit , who lu-.ul.s the
ticket as candidate for sltorin" , is conced
ed even by loading democrats to be an
invincible nomination. He has resided
in this city since the close of the war , in
which lie did good service as n sol
dier in the union army. He lias not
been an ollleo holder or an ollloe seeker.
The only ollleo ho ha ? over hold i.s the
thankless nno of member of the board of
education to which no pay is attached.
In that capacity ho has made a good
reeoid which indicates Hint ho regards
public ollleo as a publio trust.
Air. Henry Hollti Is a successful busi
ness man , and is conceded to bo well
lilted for the responsible position
of county treasurer. Ho i.s popu
lar , well known to nearly every
body in the county and will have no
trouble in making a successful canvass
against liio best man whom the demo
crats can nominate.
Mr. Charles P. Needham is I horoughly
qualilied for the position of county clerk.
He has ample experience as an account
ant and he enjoys the enviable reputa
tion of being rigidly honest. lie is a
very strong candidate.
Mr. M. d. Meany , the present street
commissioner , is the nominee for county
commissioner.
The nominee for coroner , Mr. II. K.
Durkolt , is well known a.s a callable and
reputable citizen who will fill the posi
tion creditably.
It is hardly necessary to refer to Doc.
Smith , who has u self-acting patent on
the county survoyorship , which will not
expire for some years to come.
Mr. J. IJ. Brunei- , the present county
superintendent , was renominated and
his election is conceded , as ho is emi
nently qualified by experience and record
for the ollleo.
Judge MeCullooh , who has given gen
eral satisfaction as county judge , was re-
nominated by acclamation. There is
likely to bo about as little opposition in
thii canvass before the election.
The last , but not least gratifying work
of the convention was the nomination of
three justices who poase-.s the confidence
of the bar and the respect of the com
munity. Judge Anderson has been one
of the few justices in this city against
whom no charges of corrupt partiality
or imbecility could attach. Mr. Louis
Borka , as a member of the bar , enjoys a
good reputation , and is peculiarly fitted
for the judicial position. Mr. Leo Ilels-
loy , who for the past two years has been
connected with the daily press of Omaha ,
has had the advantage of a thorough le
gal education , and is level-headed , fear
less and honest. IIo will elevate the
standard of the justice's courts in the
lower wards.

responsibility for the last slanderous re-
porl.s on the shoulders where it belongs.

The writer known whereof ho alllrms
when ho declares that the management
of the Pine Kidgo agency is , and has been
since Dr. MeUillicuddy was ( Irst placed
in olinrgo , the be.st of any on our north
western frontier , if not in the United
States. The charges and counter-charges
whloh hnvo resulted from the vigorous ,
honest and nervy administration of Dr.
McUllllonddy have not como from the
Indians , whom ho is steadily civilizing
without rant or cant , or from the settlers ,
to whom his wise ami courageous policy
has brought peace ami security. Every
inspection by the government has only
brought into clearer light the remarkable
administrative genius of this remark ,
*
able man , whoso only ambition
has been to secure the well-deserved
praise of those whoso pruibo is worth the
having. Ho has cleared from the ngcncy
the old ring of cheating contractors , im
moral "squaw humpors , " and turbulent
half-breed" , whoso presnee was a source
of constant diMnrbanco ; ha * steadily
worked not only under appropriations ,
reduced at his own request , but with a
constantly accumulating fund of savings
which has bLM-n devoted In the Indians
under his charge , anil has placed his
agency , in discipline , prosperity and In
tegrity of control , at the head of all
agencies under the interior department.
Dr. MeOillicuddy has made enemies. So
does every strong and poMtivo man
who is forced to aiilagoni/e ring-
uteri and iinprnetie.ibli ! Hcliemers- who
insist upon interfering in that with
which they have no business to meddle.
He has not attempted to elvlll/.e the In
dians on tlm Sin Carlos plan , with a
hymnal in one hand and a fraudulent
balance In the other. He has refused
dictation from outside .sources , attended
strictly to the business before him and
challenged criticism upon the results.
What those results have been , every fair
minded and honest nrui on our north
western frontier know.s. Not a com
plaint regarding the conduct of the
Ogallaln Sioux has come from Nebraska
and Dakota settlers since Dr. McCillli-
cuddy's inenboncy at Pine Kidge. The
Houseless vaporings of Hod Cloud's fac
tion of discord and discontent have been
suppressed as often as they
have arisen. Each visit to
and inspection of his agency
has resulted in the agent's tri
umph. Dr. McCiillienddy'.s prompt ejec
tion of that venerable frnndand meddler ,
Dr. Bland , from the limits of the reserva
tion some two years ago , when the great
Indian e ! vili/.er at long range was endeav
oring to stir up Hcd Cloud against the
airont , was the cause of the stream of
abuse and slander with which ho has
since been deluged through the columns
of the Council J''ii'c in the rear. Wo were
not aware before that Dr. Blnnd had any
Omaha connections. If this is so , it goes
far to account for the milk in the cocoanut -
nut of the Heruld's steady support of
the men who are doing their worst to
oust from Pine Hidge the man who has
done as much to throw light on the
proper and practical solution of the In
dian problem as any other one man now
living.
VIUY : few people in this city under
stand just how the ( inestion of teaching
music in the schools .stands. At its List
meeting , the board ol education , after a
long debate , tabled every pending reso
lution. That left the whole ( | iiestion of
imiaio where it was before. Inasmuch ns
the board has refused to place music
among the required branches of instruc
tions in any grade , it has virtually abolished
ished the teaching of music in our public
schools. The whole responsibility for
continuing this ornamental and unprofit
able branch of instruction is now upon
the superintendent. While it is possible
that , under some conditions , with a corps
of first-class teachers , some headway
might be made in vocal culture among
the pupils of the public schools , it is
patent and admitted that , so far , the
teaching of vocal music has proved a
failure. The money expended has been
literally thrown nwny. It could have
been used to much better advantage in
other directions where our system is still
Weak. The board of education is simply
a trustee for our citucn and it should
not devote the money in its keeping for
ornamental studies and. jJi'oi
CARDINAL ML-CLOSKUY passed quietly
away on Friday at the advanced ago of
71. His death was as peaceful as bis life
had been active. The natural decline of
his poweis manifested itself during the
past throe years. lie had withdrawn for
months from the duties of his cathedral.
The dead prelate was of American birth
ami of American education. His career
has been an eventful one. Ordained as
a priest at 21 , holding the office of si college -
lego president at 111 , within four years ho
was consecrated as a bishop , and began
his great work of upbuilding his church
in New York state. The results will
over form his most lasting monument.
Such energy , indomitable courage and
genius in administration are rare in
ecclesiastical annals. Combined , they
won him the highest distinction
within the gift of the church.
OMAHA has from 12,000 to 15,000 legal
voters. Our registration is very imper
fect and should bo thoroughly revised.
There are probably several vacancies
among the registrars of Omaha. They
should bo promptly filled by the mayor
and council. It is the duty of the regis
trars to give at least seven days notice ,
by publication , of the time and place
where they will sit for registration and
they must begin this registration work
at least ton days before the election.
Unless all appointments are made and
vacancies filled at the next session of
the council , it will be impossible to com
ply with the requirements of the law before -
fore the election. The registrars must
begin publishing their notices to voters
next Friday aiul commence their sessions
during the following week.
Tun people of the east are now begin
ning to feel the Chinese question in the
light of their own experience. The white
coolie question in Massachusetts is rising
to the surface in Mich a forcible manner
that it has found its way into the party
platforms. For some years past the own
ers of manufacturing establishment have
been In the habit of settling their labor
troubles by importing laborers "under
contract" from Kuropo , the employer
paying all expenses , and the workmen
remaining bound to him until repayment
had been mado. This form of slavery
has acted upon free eastern labor pre
cisely as the coolie system has upon west
ern wage earners. Sympathy for the
oppressed Chinese is not now playing as
big a part in Massachusetts as it did
some years ago.

OverlafedItralni / ,
The charge ttlilelt has recently been
made by an Oinnlut physician against
one of our teachers for forcing her class ,
to the detriment" fhe health of his
daughter , opens n'Hel'l ' of inquiry which
may throw ome llghl upon the draw
backs of the gradlnl hChool system. The
aim of practical educators is and .should
be toso arrange thegrades as to meet
the mental and physical capabilities of
the average boy or girl. To those who
are endowed with'a ' liigh degree of men
tal energy and physical force , thi is a
drawback. They' mnM slacken their
pace and arc held'back to enable the
average pupil to keep up \\ith
them.
It is unreasonable for any pat
ron of the schools to ask
thata dull or sickly child shall be
taken as the standard by which the abili
ties for study of the entire class shall bo
guaged. No rational person wHl persist
in demanding that a whole class shall
limp because ono or two members are
lame. How would It bo at West Point or
any other school where discipline is
maintained , if the dullards and weak
lings .should hwisl that every class in
which they happen to fall should be kept
back to enable thorn to keep step ? Sup
pose that in military drill it , should be
proposed that tlm entire regiment slionld
measure Its , stride by the stop of the
shoi lest men. Such a proposition would
be hooted at.
There may be reputable physicians
who insist that the brain of the average
scholar in our publio .schools is over
taxed and that the course of study .should
be reduced in its requirements. There
may be oven some very high authorities
in medicine who maintain that the brains
of the rising generation tire overworked
in our free school system. This is a fal
lacy which disproves itself. There is no
danger that any boy or girl , with fair
health will impair it by pursuing the
ordinary course of study. The truth is
that those who enter the schools in good
health and break do > vn do so because their
parents or guardians permit them to
disregard the ordinary laws of health
outside of school hours , lu nine cases
out of ton , those who complain of over-
cramming the brain have simply over-
crammed the stomach. The complaints
about too much brain work do not come
from the poor , but from those who are
able to indulge their children in delica
cies and luxuries. They don't come from
1 the mechanics and laborers whose chil
dren live on pluin'foo.d , ' and go to bed at
reasonable hour.-but Irom professionals
and men of I means whose chil
dren are ovcrfe'd ' , 'overdressed and
nnderslcpt. Tieir | , boys and girls
keep late hours ; attend danc
ing school and sot-Sal parties when
they ought to be In bi-d. Boys and girls
who go to bed withafjloinach overloaded
atmldnightsuppi.'rs , rise with a headache ,
tcel dull during the entire school day ,
and come home c'omylaining ' about the
terrible tasus set before them by their
teachers. Doctorof / , all people , ought
to know enough tojoiow that the stomach
ach is responsible' for .nine-tenths of all
the ailments and complaints that conic
from the school room.
Wo have no fear that the children of
the present generation will , be aa > ' - ' ,
oft' in an epideuiicOi IHT.in fever caused
by too much -s''iiiy. ' The graveyards are
a standing testimonial that of the young
who die , the sehoolmarms have killed a
good many less than the doctors.
Tin : sidewalks ordered by the city
council on Fnrnuin and Douglas streets
do not appeal * to matcriali/.e very fast.
A lew of the propel ty owners have , com
plied with the order , and it looks very
much as if a large number propose to
deliberately sit down and let the city do
the work for them. If that is the pro
gramme , no time should be lost by the
city in carrying it out.
TJIHUI : is a wide discrepency between
what is claimed with regard to the forth
coming democratic convention. On the
one side the machine claims that it has
two-thirds of the delegates , while the op
position maintains that the revor.so is
true. Next Thursday .wo shall know a
little more about it.
Tinilti ; is a great deal of pent-up agony

AN APPEAL TO PRODUCERS.
OrKiinl/.i1 anil Protect Your Own In-
loronlH by tlie-Mnllot.
NOIIKOI.K , Neb , Oct. 10 [ To the Ed-
itor.1 Permit me to ny a few words ta
mi fellow laborers through the columni
of the producers pride , the "fearless ,
busy Uli : , " and if possible nrouso them
to action. Let us slop n moment for in
vestigation and see if the greater part of
the producers' oppression i.s not duo to
the unnatural and iitijunt .system of land
ownership. Now , suppose wo pass a law
limiting the ownership of land to 100
acres , would not such a law knock lota
of "wind out of monopoly sails ? " If all
who wanted it had land enough to raise
their bread ami meat , capital could not
then force them to work for starvation
wages , for they would then have a hoina
of their own and could work for them ,
selves. As it is now ono man can own
10,000 or 100,000 acres of hind and all that
live on it , and with Hie modern improve ,
limits in machinery can disponsn
in a great measure with hired help ,
thus forcing them to thecitiesto vie with
each otherin their struggle for existence ,
and underbid on labor in order to get the
renowned "half loaf" that is better than
no bread. Why not , also , pass a law
that will elVectually prohibit usury , and
thus guard against a repetition of the
"financial round up" of 187ft and 187 ! ) in
Iowa , Illinois , Missouri , Isebraska and
Kansas , that made so man } ' men who
had half paid for their farms take up
their chattels and Ihiirn their eyes westward - ,
ward , while the agents of the money
loaders .sent the sheriff to sell them out ?
In Dakota , Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas
the same slate of a 11 air exists to-day. I
know of scores of farmers who are'pay
ing two per cent a month on loans se-
enicd by mortgage on their farms , and ii
the east urn money Ion I.s turn the screws
a little more the "farmers" will have lo
move on again
Believing that our only avenue ol
escape trom our present serfdom lies in
perfect organi/.atlon , 1 aiipcal in all sin
cerity to every man who works with hi *
hands to lay aside all party alliliation
and in imitate ' ' "
a measure 'capital" by
fo.miii" ; co-operative protection labor or-
gini/ations with a platform constructed
l.k- . that of the Knights of Labor , upon
which the best interests of tanner and
laborer stand perfectly identical , and ,
then inaugurate a system for bind iny Mr.
Legislator lo a strict and fai'htipper- '
tormiincc of his duties and obligations to
his constituents with a mortgage on his
carcass that wl'l ' bo foreclosed as surely
as he sol'- . , out to the monopolists. UMI
ovvy ellbrl to nominate and elect only
men possessed of native honesty ami
courage enough to act from a souse of
justice regardless of parly.
Fellovv-laborers , there is no power on
earth that cnn keep us from adjusting
our wrongs since the producers east inoro
than two thirds of the ballots on Y
every election day in the United
State * . It is for us to say whether that ;
irr.uul old warrior who Irjf so/nilhfull1 *
Stood by the. jjComc tuiougiiouthls whol'o
career in the United States senate will
be his own successor , or whether it will
be some big railroad lawyer. It must
certainly he plain to every thinking man
that if the old United Stales senator who
was the prime cause of all the railroad
land reverting back to the people during
the last two years would sell out for
money , that tlm rnihuad corporations
would have added the name ot Chas. II.
Van W.yek to their long list of cappers
long ago. "What greater assiiranco do
wo want of lii.s Mei-ling worth than his
past record in the United States senate ,
and the deep and bitter opposition ho
meets with at ( ho hands of ( lie railroad
and other monopolies. Although a life
long democrat ( lie writer will never lot
bigoted parly nlllllation prevent his
voting in 188U for the Hlalo senator who
satisfies him that he will vote first , last ,
