SELECT YOUR CANDIDATES.

The evident intention of the pro-
ducers of Nebraska to enter into a
political contest for their rights is
shown by movements in half q dozen
different counties throughout the
state In York and Hamilton coun-
ties the farmers have decided to place
a ticket Of their own in the field, and
support it without regard to party.
In a number of other instances there
will be a determined effort to influ-
ence the party primaries III the selec.
ton of such candidates as can con-
sistently appeal for popular support
and lay claim for the sufirages of that
element which is opposed TO monop-
oily aggression in the politics of our
state.
There is no doubt that hundreds of
candidates will present themselves
for public favor with the most pro-
fuse pledges for their future conduct,
and loud professions of allegiance to
the principles of anti-monopoly. Few
men can be elected to office in our
state who openly avow themselves
partisans of the railroads. On this
account it is the duty of voters at the
primaries to carefully scan the records
of every man who puts in a
plea for official recognition. No
individual who, in times past,
has betrayed the trust reposed in him
by the people, should be for a moment
considered as n candidate. CONVEX
sions on the eve of nomination are
seldom lasting, and the farmers of
Nebraska have had a bitter experience
from trusting in the premises of rene
gade monopoly tools. The represen-
~taiives of the people in public office
should be men Of integrity and above
reproach. In the rank and file of
those who have earnestly and con-
sistently supported the anti-monopoly
movement in this state are men capable
enough, and honest above suspicion of
railroad tampering who would be
honored in serving the public, and
whom the people could place conf
dence for the proper discharge of their
duties. The coming campaign in Ne
braska is insignificant As compared
with the contest of next year. 1t is
only important AZ affording oppor-
tunity for organization and the sift-
ing of the chat from the wheat.
With a determination to show their
strength and vote only for such
nominees as will be certain to
assist the people in their struggle for
independence from monopoly extor-
ton the producers of Nebraska can
prove to the corporations that they
are determined to assert themselves
in the choice of public servants.

The Great Wall of China,

An American engineer who, being en-
gagged in the construction of railroad in
China, has had unusually favorable
opportunities Of examining the famous
Great Wall, built to obstruct the incur
sions OF the Tartars, gives the following
account of the wonderful work: "The
wall is l, 728 miles long, 18 feet wide and
Is feet thick at the top. The foundation
throughout is of solid granite, the re-
mainder of compact masonry. At inter-
walls of between two and three hundred
yards towers rise up 25 to 80 feet high
and 20 feet in diameter. On the top of
the. wall, and on both sides of it, are
masonry parapets, to enable the defend
ers to pass unseen from one tower to an
other. The wall itself is carried from
point to point in a perfectly straight
line, across valleys and plains and over
hills, without the slightest regard to the
conf nfguration of the ground, sometimes
plunging down into abysses thousand
feet deep. Brooks and rivers are bridged
over by the wall, while on both banks of
larger streams strong flanking towers are
placed"

of what was rightfully due him.
Prison fare and discipline have taken much
starch out of the impudent and egotistical
Guitcau. He regards himself as an important
parsonage, prisoner of state, and demands
"common felons." He is fond of writing
about himself and consumes every scrap of pa
per he can find in this way. Guiteau is pleased
at the delay in his trial, as he has strong fear
of violence from the public just at present.
A bold attempt is being made to secure the
ring of 1873. The matter has been broachcd
in the shape of compromise, by which the
government is to abandon 524O,O0O of readily
collectable judgments on payment Of about fifty
cents on the dollar.

of glass in his box made him beat a hasty re-
treat. On the 18th in cleaning out his box he
discovered the vagrant bullet in his putty.
Some friends took him before District Attorney
Corkhill who retained the leaden pellet.
In view of the uncertainty of the Presidents
