Tomorrow the board of public lands

The export accountant who lias boon engaged -
gaged to oxnmlno the accounts of the In

report. The board Is dovotini ? a great
deal of time to the investigation and it
is reasonable to aupposo the Inquiry has
boon as searching as po iblo with Iho
accused parties In undisturbed posses
sion of all the books and papers and In
charge of the asylum.
The facts already developed concern
ing which there is not a shadow of
question establish the unfitness -
ness of both Test n.nd Llvor-
nghouso for their positions. Throwing
out all ovldonco to which they have demurred -
murrod or offered rebutting testimony
the fact remains that they have dupli
cated vouchers , wilfully deceived the
board of public land * nnd buildings In
regard to the financial condition of the
asylum , paid exorbitant prices for goods
on the last day of the quarter when they
know that the name articles could bo
purchased the day following for half
the money , and have neglected their
duties In very many ether Important
particulars. Conceding , for argument's
sake , that all charges of immorality ,
intentional Irregularities in financial
trnimi'timiH , actual appropriation of
funds to their own uses , cruelty to In
mates and .other corrupt transactions are
not proved , the fact remains that they
are untrustworthy , inolllclontnnd incom
petent. This is enough of itself to war
rant on the part of Governor Thayer
their summary discharge.
The fact is , however , that almost every
specification of the general charges have
boon established beyond a reasonable
doubt. The asylum management has
boon shown to bo rotten to the core.
The officers have boon clearly impeached
as to personal character , business integ
rity and executive ability. The sooner
they are disposed of the better it will
bo for the state , the republican party
and the institution.
IX THi ; SOIL.
An eastern paper , noting the fact that
the first bushel of now wheat brought
into the eastern markets sold for ono
dollar a bushel , remarks that it is quite
probable that the European demand will
bo strong enough to make nearly a dollar
lar the ruling price on the western farm ,
in spite of the largo supply of from
525,000,000 to 575,000,000 bushola which
isexpected. * It is estimated that Great
Britain , Franco , Germany , Holland and
Belgium , Italy , Spain and Portugal ,
will require above the homo
supply about 400,000,000 bushels.
Some 180,000.000 bushels or more
must come from the United States ,
which will bo about the extent of our
surplus. High prices may somewhat
reduce consumption , but it is more prob
able that the price of wheat will bo
maintained at 31 to the farmer than lull
materially below that prico.
It is not difficult to realize what this
will moan in added wealth to the great
wheat producing section of the country.
Hundreds of .millions of dollars are as
sured to the western farmers within the
ensuing year from this ono product , and
if there bo ndded the value of
ail ether products of the soil
the total will mount up to figures great
er than those which express the debt of-
the nation.
It is a mighty sum which the tillora
of the soil bring annually to swell the
wealth of the country , and .tho promise
is that the contribution of this year will
bo unprecedented. The day of the agri
cultural producer , or at any rate of the
American producer , is evidently at
hand , and the most intelligent opinion
ia that it will open a prolonged era of
prosperity. The significant fact that
the population of the world is
growing much faster than the wheat
producing area warrants the view that
the time of low and unprofitable prices
for breadstuffs has passed , and that the
successful farmer will heroaflor obtain a
fair reward for his labor. The realiza
tion of tliis will moan an increased pros
perity for all interests and material pro
gress in every direction. Already the
promise of abundant harvests is having
a good olToot upon the business nnd the
confidence of the country , foreshadowing
a return of activity and enterprise along
all linos. It is In the soil and in the in-
dusjiry of those who cultivate' it that
America still has the greatest resources
of wealth and power.
A FRVITLKSS CONTUOVBltSY.
The question whether President Lin
coln favored or was opposed to tha re-
nomination in 1804 of vice-president
Hatnllu cannot bo said to bo determined
by the somewhat acrimonious contro
versy that has boon carried on between
Colonpl McClure of the Philadelphia
'limes and Mr. Nicolay , who was the
private secretary of Mr. Lincoln. Opin
ions differ , nnd are likely always to dif
fer , as to who has the advantage in
the discussion , except , perhaps , in
the matter of invective , in which
ros ( > oct the editoris easily
ahead. The origin of the dis
pute was a btatement of Colonel
McClure that Mr , Lincoln , while feeling
personally friendly to Mr. Ilaralin , did
not think his nomination would bo good
policy , and suggested to his intlmato
political friends , of whom McClure was
ono , that it would ba wiser for several
cogent reasons to nominate u well-known
southern man llko Andrew Johnson ,
Mr. Nicolay took iiwuo with this state
ment , which wua in ilhvct conlllct with
what ho had stated in his biography of
Lincoln , and asserted that it was thu de
sire of Lincoln that Hamliu should bo
ronomlnatud.
There can bo no question
regarding the Intimate and confidential
relations that ox is ted between President
Lincoln and Colonel McClure , at that
time a loading republican of Pennsylva
nia , and his statem Jilts must bo regarded
as circumstantial evidence of the strong
est character , Mr. Nicolay , on the other
hand , produces what ho alleges to bo
written ovldonco In support of his Btato-
mont that Mr. Lincoln was not opposed
to the ronomlnatlon of Hamlin , and Colonel
onol John Hay , who was assistant pri
vate secretary and DUO of Iho hlogruphora
of Lincoln , corroborates Nicolay to the
extent of tiaviup that Lincoln with
hold nil opinion calculated to influence
the action ot the Baltimore convention
of 1804. Tiioro Is nnothor Incidental
contributor to the controversy who had
superior opwortunlty to know something
of the inside of the situation nt that
time , Mr. Charles A. Dana , editor of the
Now York i'iw , and his testimony Is In
the main favorablp to McCluro. Mr.
Dana plainly affirms that the selection
of Andrew Johnson was duo to Mr.
Lincoln. Just before the mooting of the
Baltimore convention General Daniel E.
Sickles was sent on a mission to
Tennessee , and It has boon as
sumed that the object of this waste
to pave the way for the nomi
nation of Johnson , but General Sick-
lor disposes of this by saying hia mission
was rather diplomatic than political ,
and although his reports may have had
some bearing on the selection oT.Johnson ,
ho did not go to Tennessee as an am
bassador to arrange the matter. Gon-
cral Sickles says ho never hoard Presi
dent Lincoln express himself on the
subject of the vice-presidency , nnd
further , that ho shrank from an avowal
of his own candidacy. %
This is the evidence that can bo con
sidered of any value BO far produced , and
obviously it docs not settle the question
in controversy. It will doubtless
always remain unsottlcd. Ono thing ,
however , . Is conclusively established ,
nnd that is that Mr. Lincoln's attitude
in the matter was entirely honorable
nnd straightforward , that in those
momentous days preceding the conven
tion of 1801 , when some of the most
powerful republican loaders were in
open or secret hostility to him , ho bore
himself with that perfect unselfishness
and that lofty devotion to the country
which nro hia highest claim to impor-
isliablo glory.
THEIIE is a now source of dissatis
faction with the Chinese of California.
According to a San Francisco paper
thov have mastered the art of canning
fruit and have gene into the business
themselves as employers instead of em
ployes. The canners are making an
outcry that they will bo ruined by
Chinese competition , an ! the Sin
Francisco paper tells them it servos
them right , that having employed
Chinese labor in preference ) to white
labor because 'it was cheaper , and only
dispensed with it when it bo'jamo more
costly and loss efficient than
white help , they have no right
to complain if the Chinese be
come employers when they can no
longer bo wage earners. It also says
there is 110 help for the matter , as there
is no power to prevent the Chinese from
doing this business and they will be able
to got all the fruit they can pa.y for. The
situation , says the San Francisco paper ,
appears to bo a clear case of greed and
lust for gain overreaching itself and now
suffering the consequences. The rebuke
is doubtless justified , but apnrt from this
the complaint of the cannora is entitled
to no sympathetic consideration. They
are a very poor lot if they cannot suc
cessfully moot Chinese competition , or
oven overcome it if there is not room in
the field for both.
CERTAIN members of the board of ed
ucation have boon for some two years
unreservedly opposed to the ro-oloction
of the present superintendent of schools.
Presumably they have been for two
years seeking a competent successor.
Otho'rs have favored a change for a
shorter periodbut nro equally convinced
it is necessary to the well-being of the
schools. Nevertheless the time for
electing a man to the position has ar
rived and these people are not sure who
deserves their support. Some men are
politicians everywhere to the extent at
least of holding themselves open
to conviction up' to the last moment.
Some men are never candid enough to
tixko a position upou any important pending
ing proposition until forced to act. It is
absurdity-itsclf for intelligent men to
say they uro not sure whom they should
support for superintendent after two
years of investigation and two years of
determination to bring about a change.
Sensible people very naturally wonder
how much time these gentlemen need to
makeup their minds upon a question
which should bo settled without further
delay.

Hookwnttur as a IMillnntlirnpist.
Cfiiclmmtt rvmtmrrctnl Gazette.
Mr. John Hookwaltor , who owns
00,000 ncros of l.ind In Iowa , proposes the
Inauguration of a very Interesting scheme. His
Ilfo , until ho was 3.1 years old , was
on n farm , and In claims that the principal
cause ot discontent among farmor3youngand ,
old , is Isolation nnd loneliness. Ho suegcsts
that farm houses bo built In small villages or
settlements , with nmplo grounds , yotnenrono
another not more than a third pf n rallo apart
at the furthest , with the form lands surround
ing or conveniently near. Mr. Bookwnlter
having got the idea abroad , has , indeed ,
started ruch n settlement In Pawnee county ,
Nebraska. It wilt have a free circulating
library , a town hull , a school , of course , and
perhaps a church or two. The idea Is wholly
practicable , since tmny western farmers now
live In villages , where also reiido persons on-
gaced In ether employments. Perhaps If
farmers In older states would got more
closely together for the enjoyment of advan
tages made posslblo oy a community ot inter
ests , thov nnd thoiv .families would bo more
contented and happy.
The Fisrht ,
Httni'r'ii
The value of the action In Pennsylvania
lies in its political independence. It Is a
common saying that wo muse support meas
ures , not men. But what does it meant May
n prohibitionist wupport a toper if ho should
rocolvo the regular nomination i Such npo-
thegnu are foolish1 except when they nro
reasonably interpreted. Intelligent repub
licans in Pennsylvania did not agree that the
objects which they sought as republicans re
quired them to Vote for Quay's man. They
are still of that .opinion. So long as they
hold it and are required to prove their repub
licanism by supporting Quay , directly or in
directly , they wIlKdecIi&o to pivo the proof ,
and so long , according to the Philadelphia
Press , the republican' party will be beaten.

It is now statod.that the democrats of Kan

This is not to bo regretted. If the people of
Kansas desire to be delivered from tno Mc-
KinloyspoIIors they linow what to do ; they
have only to support the candidate of the
party which enters the Held as the enemy o (
the spoliation system. In the meantime lot
that party preserve its integrity ana dignity.

St. Louis Uopubllo- That ftllotwl framors'
alliance schema to corner the wheat market
was simply a bunco game of the Chicago whoa
speculators.
Boston Qlobo : The farmers' txlllnneo Is
now endeavoring to got up n glgnntlo when
combination. Now , to bo consistent , they
should take that anti-trust plank out of their
platform ,
Chicago Times : The farmers who nro
planning to organize n little corner of their
own should pause awhile mid reflect that It
Is sometimes easier to got Into n comer than
to got out again.
Globe-Democrat : Even If nil American
wheat growers should unlto In thoschomo
this year they would bo hurt ultimately , be
cause the "combine" would so intend whcnt
production nbroad that the outslda world
would soon bo independent of the United
States altogether In this respect , nnU this
would send prices far below their present
level. *
Chicago Herald : It may reasonably bo
doubted whether the formers' organization
can succeed In cornering the market for any
great length of time any bolter than the pro
fessional speculators who have made a study
of the whole Held. No doubt they can pro
duce nn artificial scarcity for the time being
if they can bo Induced to not together In
great numbers , but they will probably bo
defoitcd In the lone run , as the professionals
usually nro.
Chicago Tribune : It Is to bo presumed
that no rational man will deny the right of
the farmer to obtain the highest prices for
the grain ho has to sell , or that ho hat the
same right to combine with his fellow-farm
ers to that end as the members of trades
unions in the cities have to strike for higher
wages and llx "mlnlmiims. " But they
should ho reminded they would do this nt
their own risk , nnd could irot blame others
if the schema should prove a partial or com
plete failure.
Chicago News : Needless to say , the possi
bility of n vnit "corner" In wheat In the in.
terost of the farmers nnd conducted by them -
selves Is too chimerical for sober expectation
except by visionary enthusiasts. Such "cor
ners" are possible on a limited scale only to
negregntions of capital such as the farmers
could not control. But aside from the im
practicability of the scheme it is derogatory
to the farmers' organizations to oven attempt
it. To create famine prices for food supply
in the interest of any ono class , howoror deserving -
serving , accords but 111 with the professions
of devotion to the common good that form so
conspicuous a plank of the farmers' plat
form.
JCE.tDY FOtt THE IIOUXCEH.
Oroeloy Herald : The only chance wo can
see for Dr. Test and Llvorlnghouso and the
balance of the Hastings iusauo asylum gang ,
is to try the insanity dodga.
Beatrice Democrat : All the charges made
against the asylum ofllchils at Hastings have
been sustained. The whole outfit should bo
given a position in the rear , if not In the pen.
Crete Chronicle : It might bo well to In
quire of Mrs. Test and Llvcrlnghouso if they
have any cholco of soup. Other public ofll-
cors would have been glad to resign under
much loss grave charges , but Test and Ltvor-
inghouso hang on like a member of the reform -
form legislature to a portion of the rollef
supplies.
Nebraska City News : The Investigation
into the Hastings asylum shows that the
management of that institution is rotten
from top to bottom. And it is the general
belief that orro or two ether state institutions
are In the same condition. A complete over
hauling of all the institutions Is what is
needed.
Fairmont Signal : The Signal has often
assorted that the appointment of oQlcon to
manage our benevolent institutions should bo
excluded from the political domain. Thcso
ofilces should bo filled by men who are pe
culiarly and well quail tied to 1111 such posi
tions. Tno practice has been and now is for
every now administration to glvo those
places to Its pets who have rendered
some kind of service in placing it
in power , whether such favorites are qualified
in a fitting degree for the positions or not.
The Hastings asylum scandal is an Illustra
tion of tno results of mismanagement under
this vicious system. It Is to ha hoped that
for the sake of humanity and common do-
coney the next legislature will give the death
blow to this inhuman system of making ap
pointments.
Blue Springs Sentinel : The Hastings
asylum Investigation discloses a disgraceful
state of affairs and should bo followed by the
prompt dismissal nnd condign punishment of
the responsible parties. Enough has already
boon developed to show that Steward
Liveringhouso nnd his coadjutors have not
only stolen the state's money , but have
bribed Its legislators , brought some of
its insnno pensioners to an untimely
grave , kept a drmldnc hell end bawdy
house , nnd it Is high tlmo to call a halt. If
these parties have frlonds In high places who
will continue to sustain , thorn in the face of
the testimony developed it Is time such
friends were given the G. B. The republi
can party cannot now afford to tampar with
rascals , but should cornn to the front nnd
squarely show that the same principles of
reform that ilrst cave the party Its proitlgo
will govern it , and no political or ether rea
sons shouldtbo allowed to Interfere or pre
vent the stern rooulco of the guilty. No-
braskn wants no such don of Infamy in con
nection with Its state Institutions.

various nrtlulos used In the testimony nnd
thny were bouowod hero nmt thoro. Of

remains and that is the skull of the murdered -
dorod man.
Until .veitordnjr no request had boon mndn

Saundort , the saloonkeeper nnd gambler on
the corner of Tenth nr.d P streets , n ked
Judge Fluid tliat the sUull bo given to him
for n keepsake as ho and Shcody had boon
associated together as gamblers for n number
of years.
Judge Field , however , regards the skull
as too valuable to bo given away as a strange
memento of past friendships , nnd thinks that
science should bo bonollttea instead. The
sltull Is n very romarknblo ono owing to the
fact that in the back of it is a largo bullut
hole whcm Shecdy was once shot , in front ,

TO UD 'ttOKrilY STUDENTS.
Chancellor Canflold of the state university
calls the attention of Lincoln people to the
fnci that for the purwuo of aiding worthy
students as well as to glvo Information
mation to citizen * seeking such ser
vices , nn employment bureau has boon organ-
I/od nt the university. The work that can
bn carried on by young men will readily sug
gest itself such as care of furnnoes , stock or
eronnds , caroof oflleonnd eenornl olllco work ,
before and after usual ofllcd Hours ; corres
pondence , book-keeping , collecting , soliciting '
orders , nnd ether similar employment. Young
women can aid In housework and in the oaro
of children , nnd can do much of the work
often reserved foi young men.
The bureau will make anroful Inquiry as to
the character , needs and purposes of all ap
plying for work , nnd will record only these
believed to bo worthy of recognition. With
this condition It hopes to find places for all
who apply. The request is made , therefore ,
that all citizens of Lincoln who can use stu
dent labor in this way for either full or part
board , or at a specified price per hour , will at
once communicate with the university au
thorities , specifying carefully the kind and
araount of service desired.

LINTOLV , Nob. , July 11 , 1801. To the
Editor of TUB Bui : . Hon. A. O. Scott has
written a letter concerning the great Inter
national fair ot IS- ! ) and makossoma valuable
and tiuialy suggestions. Fully endorsing Mr ,
.Scott's words , I would like to further roaiitnc
that now Is the tlmo to gather small grain
samples in the straw. It l.s nn easy matter
to show throshsdgrain in a measure ; but the
parson looking nt it has little conception nf
the plant that produced the grain. Nobraik.i
wants to pluco on exhibit , at the World .s
Fair nt Chicago in 18 ! ) . ! .samples , carloads of
her small grain as seen in the Hold when tha
self-binder harvests the grain. Now Is the
tlmo to prepare for this grand exhibit , and I
suggest that every enterprising farmer In
this state prepare a bundle of each kind of
grain grown by him.
Select the bust and carefully pull up by tha
roots , taking pains not to break or bond the
straw. Maku the bundles or sheaves not
loss than four Inches In dlumator whun llnnly
tlod. Tlo the sheaf In the middle , close to
the heads , und close , not over six Inchon ,
from thu root. Always tto with a soft string.
Hung up by tno roots in a dark loom where
no mica , ran or chickens can get nt it. It
every farmer in Nebraska will prepare n
shonf as above described of eacli kind of
grain produced by him und take good care of
it , and If the sntno Is carefully collected nnd
kept lu good order ono of the crumleut ob
ject lessons , showing the productive capacity
of Nebraska's rich neil , can bo made at thu
world's ' fair ns was never before exhibited.
1 would suggest that some ono bo appointed
to tnko charge of the collection nnd preserva
tion of these samples of grain ot nil kinds.
Great care must bo oxercUod in liar
ling these sheaves and some suitably
pluco should bo provided where the same cnn
bo stored until tlio time conioi to place thu
same on exhibition. Tno grain grown nuxt
season will not be In tlmo to bo placed on ex
hibition nt Chiuago. Now Is thu tlmo , nnd I
urge every farmer In Nebraska to prepare a
bundle each of rye , wheat , outs , barley ,
millet , ( Ing. sorghum , corn on otlio stalk ,
clover and timothy. Some ono will have to
tuko charge of thuso collections in onch
county. I would suggest that some of thu
county ofllcors would bo the proper parson to
rocolvo the county contributions , take carooi
them and hold them subject to the order ol
sotna person or persons authorized to celled
them for the btato. I would ask every news
paper In the Rtuto to publish thu foregoing ,
and editorially urge Iho farmer * of thocountj
to furnish Huniploj of the great coroali grown
In tills Htnto. Let every sample be tnguuiJ
with tno name of the producer , county , sec
tion , town , and range where grown.
