Prof Samuel Bacon, late Superin-
tendent of the State Blind Asylum,
writes an article for the Nebrask City
Press, which closes as follows:
Ny time and means will be used to
restore the Institution for the Blind
20 its original design of placing an
education within their reach, equal
to that enjoyed by more fortunate
children. We call upon the friends
of the blind to assist US. We call up
on those parents to assist us, who are
surrounded by their bright eyed
children, that may at any moment,
by accident or pestilence, be shut out
from the light of day and pass into
the "Pauper's List, surrounded with
the pail of night. mhd the blaz, of
noon. We call upon the Humanitar-
ian who believes in civilization and
progress to openly assist US.
SAMUEL BACON.
The professor should be more ex-
plioit as to what he proposes to do,
and how he proposes to do 1t. He is
recognized as q master educator of the
blind, and when the people know just
what he wants, to organize and per-
petuate an institution such as he
speaks of, bis efforts may, II deemed
feasible, meet with a hearty second
from many of his friends.

In the fall on the Citizens Bank of

IN the fall on the Citizens Bank of
this city the State has another chance
to commence an action against a
bankrupt depository of its treasurer.
We think, since Mr.. McBibe has
been go accommodating with the
State money as to deposit large sums
with the two defunct banks ofthis city
it would have looked full as well for
him to bring the actions for collections
of the same in his own name, instead
of placing the State in a position to
pay large sums as costs, and We might
also remark that 1t is getting to be
somewhat desirable to know how
much of the States money has been
thus distributed among the supposed
political powers of the land.-FdtIs

his official capacity with questionable
integrity, We hope however he will
be able to explain his doings satisfact-

Hayes was elected by the skin OF his
