Call for a Republican State
Convention.

The State Central Committee has
called the State Convention to meet
at Madison on the 7th of July for the
nomination of candidates for State
offices. The call is made and the
time for holding the convention are
considerably earlier than usual. The
time from the call to the convention
is but seven weeks and the time from
the convention to the election is four
months. This gives out little time
for bringing candidates before the
people and convention for nomina
ton, and long time for discussing
the merits of the candidates after
their nomination and fer the politi-
cal campaign.
The Republican party hare a suf-
feient number of able and honest
and popular Republicans whose mer-
its may be sufficiently oanvasSed By
the time the convention meets to
justify their nomination. And, if
such candidates are nominated, there
can be no objection to their early
nomination, and it will give longer
time for vigorous prosecution OF
the campaign. And, with the right
candidates and the right action, there
can be but little doubt that the Re-
publicans will carry the State. But
with different candidates and apathy
during the campaign and at election
the Republicans may expect another
defeat. Hence the necessity for due
deliberation and right action at the
convention, and vigorous election
campaign conducted on true Repub-
lican principles. With theright can
didates and the right issue fairly
made and actively prosecuted the
Republican party can carry the cleo
ton and regain the ascendency in
the State.

IMPROVING FURNITURE. A writer in
the Germantown Telegraph thinks roo-
pie would derive material benefit ffom
adapting bedsteads to the following
plan:
The Stats ere arranged SO as To produce
a partially curved surface, suited to the
form Of the body. The depression is
made by deepening the mortices for
three or four Of the Stats, about equal
distance between the head and the foot
OF the Dedstead, SO that regulaf curve
is formed, two feet IN length and three
inches greatest depth more or less. In
bedsteads having sufficient depthIof rail
or sidepiece, q further modification nav
be made by raising above the Level a
STAT or Two as the neadsso as to require a
smaller pillow This device, while it
greatly promotes the comfort of ALI per
sons, is especially calculated to dontrib-
ute to the ease and rest of inIyaIids ;
moreover, a comfortable bed may|be had
with thin mattress.
Common chairs may be conslq erably
improved OF shortening the hind legs
by one and 8 half to two inches For
average sized male adults the fuont of
the chair had better be sixteen toll seven
teen inches high for grown, fu sl-sized
women, but fourteen to fifteen inches.

HARBoR WORK AT "Reminiscences at it's
last session appropriated $l5 600 for the improve
ment OF Kenosha Harbor. Of this. $1,000 are
available for extending the North Pier so feet far
ther the lake by constructing crib, of tim
bsr, flled with stone. The CRIB will be 80 feet
long ard 80 wide, and of such height that after it
has been sunk and settled in its place by being
well filed with stone ballast the upper surface OF
the top cour shall be- foot above the mean wa
ter level of the lake. This crib is to be placed
upon secure foundation, constructed of stone il
necessary. And the whole CRIB is to be securely
barred and bolted with iron sbolts. and in all re-
spects constructed in workmanlike manner.
The contract for the pier is let to Knapp and
GilleE of Chicago, and it is expected they will
soon comm ence work and prosecute 1t to success-
| full completion.
When this extension of the North Pier is CON-
pleted it is believed that it will prevent the wash
from the lake filing up the channel TO the harbOr.
| The remainder of the appropriation is available
mainly for dredging. The channel to be dredged
is about 400 feet IN length, between the piers,
from point distant 100 feet eastward Of the EAST
ern extremity of the North Pier, and running
westward to the Harbor Basin. This channel is
to be dl edged to uniform depth of Is feet below
! the established datum of 1871.
| The quantity of material to be removed viii be
$4,000 cubic yards, more or less. measured in
dump scows The material excavated by the
dredge will be removed and toWed to distance
not less thar $1,000 feet to the southwark OF the
Harbor Fiers, and deposited in lake Michigan in
a depth of not less than 25 feet of water
| The contract for the dredging has been let to
Albert Conree of Milwaukee and it is expected
that he will commence work. without delay and
prosecute it vigorously to completion.
| The City has hired the Tug M. Green. and
placed Captain Jackson in command, and placed
the tug and dredge and two dump scows in Charge
of G. H. Sager for the purpose of dredging along
| the docks so that the largest and most heavily
loaded vessels can ride TO and lie beside them.
Dredging has already been done to the depth Of II
feet along the dock of A. d. Leonard Jr. and the
whole operating forces are now to work dredsine
along the dock of j. II. Kimbsl, and will soo1
/ give him depth of water equal his requirments

Upon picking up the Telegraph few
DAYS since, I vas somewhat surprised Il
find we had "Squib of the Quill" in the
Estate of Brighton" as J. R. calls it. But
why should / be surprised: Brighton
has always been noted, ever since it BE-
came State. Noted-For what? Is /,
for its glossy lakes with lis shady banks
or its mighty hills and bluffs Of Mooney:
or the rough and towering peak Of
/" Mount Toms" All 10, although We
have allie these.
I'll tell you. It is noted for its capital
and for the legislative halls Of its both
Houses. Noted for the power it has to
annihiiate its enemies in courts of JUS
tice. For the power it has to carry a
Stump-tail" Ticket through on election
days without the aid of whisky. And
last but not least; for It's noted attorneys
which we have at the capital. But this
is away from the point I intend to SPEAK
of. j. R, said in speaking of the Tel
Iegraph, IF any part is ipsipid it is the
Educational column" And I think it is
about so. But the party that carries a
joke TOO far Is loser eoery tinae.
J. r. also says, +" 1t is to oe hoped that
tie county will make better choice for
the next term of office" Forjustce to
all parties concerned I must say j. r.

MORAL EDUCATION .

The subject of moral education has not
heretofore received the attention Co
which its importance entities it either
from moralists, religloaists, educators
or legislators. And now, when it is
beginning to receive some attention.
there seems 20 be difference of opinion
when and by whom moral education
should be impaired. We do not at
present intend to enter into a general
discussion of the subject, and will only
say now that we,think that moral educa-
tion should be commenced as soon as the
attention can be obtained, aad continued
at all Proper times and on all proper
occasions Sill the attention can no longer
be oDtaine1, and that whoever has
opportunity should impart moral ins:ruc-
ton. And We believe it should be q
lifelong work. lts is true that the
earlier the work is Commenced the more
easily it will be accomplished. And it
is also true that if moral EDUCATION does
not benin at an early period immoral
education will, and that it is much easier
to learn the moral than to unIearn the
immoral.
We cannot however agree with a

WEBSTER Co. NEB. Nav is


EDITOR OF TELEGRAPH 1t might be
of interest to some Of the readers Of your
paper to know something of the pros
poets Of the country west of the Missouri,
that suffered so from the visitation of the
grasshoppers last summer, and being in
the central portion of that section where
the grasshoppers did all the harm posi-
year, the condition and prospects of Web
ster county may in all probability be
taken as fair criterion by which to
Judge of central Nebraska generally.
We feel somewhat perplexed at times
but not discouraged. OF course, we have
reasons for feeling perpiered, as the loss
of crops would tend to perplex farmers
living East of the Missouri and if we
must suffer from the grasshoppers for two
or three years to come, there is posi-
bility that some of US may feel little
discouraged in that event. Onr pros
poets for crop of small grain have rev.
er been so good as at present writing,
that is at this season OF the year. There
has been large breadth sown to small
grain as the destruction of the corn cop
last summer, has convinced many that
wheat, oats, and barley is much the safer
crop. Our season thus far has Been very
favorable for small grain. having had
plenty of rain since April 1st.
There is some anxiety manifested here |
in consequence of the young grasshop~
pers which have been seen in considera-
BILE numbers; but unless they hatch in
far greater numbers they can do no ipju-
ry to the crops; and were it not for the
fact that we suffered to such an extent
last year, 1t is doubtful whether eng
would have been seen. We hear ru-
mors OF the destruction Of some fields of
wheat IN nejghboring counties but such
