NEMAHA COUNTY FRUIT.
At the Omaha Board of State EXpOSi-
tiOn.

We take the following from the
Omaha Commercial Exchange;
The fruit display at the Board of
Trade rooms consists of over one hun
dred varieties, EN- mbracing most of the
standard kinds, like Northern Spy,
Jenitons, Wine Sap, three varieties of
Russets, Belltlowers, etc. This col
lection was taken from the pyramid
erected by the B. IL NJ. Il. r., of
which Photographic and steroscopio
views were taken at Lincoln. And all
of that grand display was from one
county, Nemaha. How many more
counties might have done as well if
they had used the same foresight.
Gov. Furnas, President of the State
Horticultural Society, may be proud
of his own county and we know that
through his exertions this display was
made. Cass, with all it's boasted or
chards, did not make display. Otoe,
johnson, Pawnee and Washington as
soon as the fair closed, sold their fruit
and left, while Nemahs furnished the
lot sent to Chicago and this at Omaha.
Although the show Of fruit at the state
fair was far beyond any previous one,
still it might have been doubled if all
the counties had sent their quota.
And now in connection with the i'm
provement of Douglas county lands.
comes the subject of fruit planting.
This display of fruit is sufficient to
convince any one, and no argument
is needed to prove the great profit of
growing fruit.

Said Mr.. Doolittle at the Democrat

"Mr. Hayes has done just what Mr..
Tiiden would have done, though had
it been done by Mr.. Tilden the whole
Republican party would have bawled,
behold! The union of the rebel and
the Copperhead !''
DooIittle must be mistaken. else how
is it that Republicans are now bawl-

umph of great policy ?" Oh, Doo-

LONDON, Oct. PA correspondent
at Plevna telegraphs that the Turks

Provisions have never failed. but it is
impossible to provide fodder for thous-

Ex-COnfederates in Congress.

An examination of the list of per-
sons sworn in as members of the low
er House of Congress reveals the fact
that seventy-one of them were COM
PEELED to take the modified oath, hav-
ing been connected with the Confed-
eracy. This is an increase of ten over
the number in the last House of Rep
resentatives. There are fifteen eX-Con-
federates in the Senate, with fair
prospect that five more will be admit
ted. This gives total now of that ell
ement in Congress of eighty-siX.
The solid South is not myth it is
reality, and rightly regarded the
most imposing reality in this country.
For the present, at least, there is but
one party in the South. The methods
by which state after state were wrest-
ed from the Republicans and turned
over to the Conservatives may be open
to criticism, but their thoroughness
canrot be doubted. The vanqulshed
have not been beaten, they have been
annihiated. The Republican party
does not exist even in name in any
Southern State. As old Sir Jacob Asst
ley said of the IrOnsides one may say
of the Southern Democracy "You
have now done your work. and may
go to play unless you will fall out
among yourselves"
1t looks very much as ifthe Confed-
crates with their Northern allies
would soon have complete control of
the Government which they attempt
ed to destroy. The spirit which ami
=, Dnl-
icy has led them to suppress their real
sentiments. Their hate of the Gov
ernment which defeated their cher
ished project of d. solution of the
Union is not abated, ut SO, long as
they can control the Government for
their present purposes, they are not
likely to resort to any extreme meas
ures. They are more powerful in the
forum than they were in the field

Nh. Editor Your columns, the Mayors ad-
dress, and the public judgment agree to the
necessity of reducing the expenses Of the city
Let US see what, in few items, is practicable
Mayor Butler will no doubt consent to take
$1,000, and that in spite of the fact that the
same talent, time and labor would command
perhaps three times that amount in his profess
sion. Three hundred dollars saved in this
Item. The City Clerk is in proportion to the
capacities required for bis duties the best paid
nay, the most extravagantly paid officer we
have. Taking into account the perq1sites of the
office, a salary of $500 is ample. A plenty of
competent gentlemen can be found to take the
place at that figure, with the ''incidentals' at
tached. 1t is now 81, 200. City Liquor Agent
should have not over $500. saving of $780,
The salaries of the civil engineer department.
should be cut down to $4,000, instead of 81 900
as now. City Marshal $1,000, now 81 $50, a
preposterous figure for this town and under the
circumstances In regard to the policemen
their places can be filled for $3.50 each. They
now get $500, the same as in war times. Street
Commissioner $1,000, the present salary of
81 400 is out of all reason for an officer of no
professional requirement The Office of Super
intendent of Schools ought to be, if it were
practicable under the school act, abolished. No
reflection upon Mr. Hunt is intended, but we
them still without superintendent, and with
such a committee as we have. There are COM
petent men who will fulfill the duties of the
Office satisfactorily for 81 200. The present
salary is said to be $1,000. The fig
ures for it do not appear in the last NUM-
cIpal register. The clerk of the street
department gets 5000. The work can be done
for $3.50 less. In fact there is no need of the
Office at all; it has bee established but few
years. Truant officer. the place should be
abolished, saving of $3.50. The school agency,
as distinct Office, can BIT dispensed with. Mr..
Fox has, as We all know, saved the city money
but in our opinion all the city buildings, engine
houses, school houses. ward rooms. etc., should
be put in charge of one responsible person at a
small salary. A good officer in this position
could save the town five times his salary every
year by judicious management. Here then is a
practicable economy, but not of definitely
specifable amount. The outlays for the
street department should be cut down Eemorse-
essy by the amount of $4,000. This can be
done if the status quo is only maintained and nc
new enterprises attempted, as opening new
streets, additional paving, and the like. Much
that it is desirable to have done should have to
go-by until better times; only the inexorably
necessary should command the outlay OF
money. There is a long chapter of details in
this department. calling for curtailment; but
this is enough for one writing.
