THEIVIV0,

There begins to be considerable COM
plant from parties who are missing
fuel and other articles. We learn that
Miss Bookstaver has had about cord
of wood stolen from her lot on Tenth
Street. We have heard the statement
that there are six or seven families in
Worthington who do not buy fuel, aud
who get their supply between dark and
daylight. Pilfering is also going On in
other directions. Mr.. Hansberger had
some groceries stolen from his wagon q
few evenings since just before starting
for home.
THIS does not look well for so moral
q town as Worthington, and we think
it high time that watches were set and
q few examples made public. - 80

COUNTY PRINTING.
There is some complaint down at
Spirit Lake about the sum paid the
Beacon for county printing during the
year 1874. The Beacon thereupon rises
to explain: -:
During the year 1874 the Beacon re-
ceived for printing from,the County the
sum of $665, SO. OF this sum 1925 was
for publishing the proceedings of the
board, including schedules of accounts
and the Treasurer's balance sheet,
which do not properly belong with the
proceedings. We received for printing
the delinquent tax list, 1922 (which sum
is paid back into the county treasury Ivy
the delinquent tax-lMyers) aad for
printing blanks, $685. The balance
OF $4,000 was for publishing election
proclamations, road notices, etc:
The Beacon then shows that no print
ing was done other than is required by
law and that the rates are fixed 10y
statute. IL.
In this county, the printing for 1874
will not amount to one:fourth the sum
paid the Beacon.

VISIT 10 SHIRLEY.

The Methodist Choir, with other
friends, made a visit to Sibley on
Wednesday evening last, on the occa-
sion of Rev. B. H:*Cfever's reading.
Mr.. Crever read from Burns and Shake
speare and we never saw a more atten-

tuer reading. The Choir acquitted
themselves to the delight of the Sibley
people and the entire satisfaction of
their friends. After the reading there
was all oyster supper prepared by the
ladies of the NJ. F.. CHURCH.
We hope to see more visits and CON-

ofpromoting good feeling and a more

found him all agreeable gentleman and
we know from his paper that he is a

HARD MONEY IN NEBRASKA.

It is singular coincidence that on the 18th
of September while the Democrats of New
York were adopting their hard money State
platform at Syracuse in the midst of thunders
of applause, the Democrats of Nebraska,
away out under the shadow of the Rocky
Mountains, were doing precisely the same
thing in the same unanimous way. The con-
vention was very large and composed of the
most influential men in the State. Their
monetary creed is comprised in two resolu-
tons, as follows
Resolued. That we are in favor of sound
currency, coin or its equivalent, as essential
to stability in business and the restoration of
prosperity; of steps toward specie payments,
and no step backwards.
RESOLVED, That we deprecate all attempts to
commit the Democratic party to system of
paper money, based upon an unconstitutional
exercise of Federal power as a crime against
the common welfare and in violation of a car
dinal article of the Democratic creed

THAT 1HyEsr1aATIHe ooMN1TTEE.

A pronounced Radical, who occupies a
seat in the State Senate, informed us the
other day that he heartily approved the &C
ton Of the press of the city in its assaults
upon the present disreputable City School
Board, and that, in his opinion, the schools
were much in need Of publication. The best
evidence, to his mind, that change was de-
| manded, consisted in the fact that if one
should question the first ten men he should
| meet upon the street in regard to the matter,
| nine out of the ten would unhesitatingly de-
clare that, in their opinion, the conduct of the
schools was scandalous and that the compost
ton of the School Board was an outrage and
a shame. He had heard the dark and scan
dalous rumors that are current in regard to
the manner in which teachers were selected,
and knew that these rumors were gen.
orally believed. We refer to this con-
versation to show that in its charges
against the School Board and the schools as
ct present conducted the BULLETIN has only
printed what has been published by thousands
Of lips and what is generally believed. The
attempt Of the School Board, therefore, to
put on bold front and interview the BULLE-
TIN in reference to allegations that are made
every hour Of the day, among all circles, and
made in some instances with a particularly
and minuteness of detail which, if published
in full in the BULLETIN, might cause some Of
the directors to feel uncomfortable
bering the fate of Mccarthy.
That the School Board itself, the very head
and front Of the offending, should appoint
com mittee to visit the BULLETIN to make in
quiries concerning certain charges in regard
to which the board itself has the best and
most accurate information, is rather an ex-
Allied exhibition Of impotence. We dare
affirm that there is scarcely member of the
School Board who does not know of
shameful facts concerning the appointment
of teachers and the retaining in the schools
Of improper persons as teachers, and it will
probably be just as well for the board not to |
insist too strenuously about the publication
Of all the details.
In regard to the specific charges against
Mccarthy, an investigation was eminently |
proper, and we held ourselves in readiness to
produce the proof of facts alleged, but in
regard to current rumors and notorious facts
We do not propose 10 be interviewed, nor do
we recognize the right Of the School Board to
call upon us for proof Of charges made by the
community, proof that would not, we fancy,
DO very difficult to obtain, but which we de-
cline to be required to produce at the pleas
are of the School Board.
IT the members Of the board do not know
hat the allegations made, not only by the
BULLETIN, but by almost every paper in the
'ity, are true, then must they be peculiarly
blind, and deaf, and generally obtuse.

THE ORLEANS DRAMATIC AssoCIATIoN.-Th
favorite amateur club gave their final repre-
sentation of the season at the Varieties
Theater. last night Quite large number of
their friends were present to bid them adieu
till next season, and to express by hearty ap-
plauss their appreciation of the pleasure
afforded by the club during the summer.
The play chosen was mo Thoroughfare,
by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins
Despite the fact of its eminent authorship,
we can say but little in favor of it as an act
ing play. Unless admirably acted, it fails to
awaken any great intelligent interest from an
audience, and it is only in an occasional sem
sational scene that anything like dramatic
effect is wrought The club produced the
play several seasons ago, and its success on
that occasion induced them to repeat it last
evening.
The scenery was very good and very well
worked.
We bid an revoir to our friends of the
o. D. A., and whilst thanking them for
many pleasant evenings during the summer,
we desire to express the hope tina. next sum-
mer We may enjoy repetition of their erjoy-
able entertainments.

AN EXAMPLE OF LIBERALITY.

The Democrats Of New York in State cor
vention at Syracuse, Sept II, nominated car
didates as follows:
For Secretary Of State-John Bigelow, {
Ulster county.
For Controller-Lucius Robinson, of Che
mung county.
Of Albany.
For Treasurer Chas. N. Ross, Of Auburn
For Engineer and Surveyor D. Val
| Buren,, of New York.
| For Canal Commissioned. L. Walrath
Of Madison county.
For Prison Inspector Rodney r. Crowley
Of Ca.taraugus county.
Bigelow's nomination has much signif
canoe from his having been an old line Demo
GRAFT with Silas Wright, William L. Marcy
Daniel S. Dickinson, Martin Van Buren, and
others, but on account of its anti-slavery
purposes, united and worked with the Repub.
lican party, until Disguised with the accumu.
lating corruptions which have marked its
later history. He some time since returned
to the folds Of the Democracy, and became
useful to Gov. Tilden in an important and
highly responsible position Bigelow was
nominated by ACCLAIM alton, there having been
no other candidate named.
This nomination augurs well for the success
of the Democrats of New York.
The iberality shown in thus promoting
one SO recently vigorous opponent Of the
party, is an example which may be initiated
with safety and advantage elsewhere. The
Slavery issue having become paramount, a
great many members were withdrawn by its
influence from the ranks of the Democrats,
and larger proportion still of young voters
were kept out by it. That question being
settled, there is no reason why the doors
should now be closed against either class.
Although there was once wide difference
Of opinion as to the application of constitu-
tional rules upon an issue Of great magni-
tude, the rules and the accepted doctrine of
the Democratic party may apply to new issues
without such difference. Issues change from
year to year, but the principles Of constitu-
tional government, as accepted and taught by
Democrats, are always the same. Hence they
differ one from another on practical ques-
ions of the greatest moment, and yet their
differences create no party division.
]. For the time being we ought to be willing
% accept as Democrats all who are opposed
% the Radical dynasty, all who subscribe to
Democratic doctrine and all who favor po-
itical reforms. We ought especially to well
come back to our ranks those former brethren
Who have for some time wandered in the will

REMEMBER SATURDAY EVENING!

It is matter of exceeding great importance
that the protest of the people against the
School Board should be made with as much
emphasis as possible. That corrupt, tyran-
nical and malignant body is almost universally
execrated and leathed throughout the city,
but they do not notice the anathemas pro-
nounced against them and will not heed what
is said Of them on street corners or in bust
ness houses or other isolated places.
To reach their ears and understandings the
people must gather in their nigh. and
majesty so that their joined voices may echo
in thunder tones This can be easily accom-
plished if each citizen will but take the
grievance to himself for only two hours on
Saturday evening next.
Remember that these thick-skinned Direc-
tors care nothing at all for the complaints of
the wronged teachers who have been reject
3D. nothing at all for the just blame heaped
upon them by parents. nothing at all for the
censures Of the press. They can only be
moved by our citizens in mass when gathered
in serried ranks to give utterance to their in
dignation.
When they hear the angry protest of ten
thousand citizens against the degradation and
corruption which the Board are now trying to
consummate, they may perhaps begin to be-
lieve that we are all very much in earnest.
Unless they have forgotten the lessons of
history, and all that experience has taught
them Of hnman natura fhav will not daf, o~a
contemn an indignant community.
