Messrs. Editors FL see In your issue Of last
week n voice has arisen from the "oid 10th
district," and II seems that discomfort also
exists there regarding the present management Of
public school affairs. Tho correspondent, "Sam, T"
says the Democratic Legislature made the present
law. Tho Law In itself 10 well enough, but has
been spoiled with too much handling by the School
Board. But We hope tho next Legislature will
improve the Law and alter 10 In some respects to
suit the people. Let the people Of each district
elect their own Commissioner one for each district,
and elect also their Examiner, at . salary Of one
thousand dollars . year. The expenses for OH
will then be less and will venture 10 say tho
schools Of each district will receive more attention
from the Commissioners, at any rate. There are
now ave Commissioners for thirteen districts and

The Seven Chums who Became Sena.
tOrS

Seven young men, early in the war,
says Washington letter, were boarders
at the Burnfam house in Omaha. They
were all pushing driving men. Six of
them were inseperable companions. The
entire company separated in the early
days of the war, only to meet afterward
as members of the United States Senate.
The six companions were William Pitt
Kellogg, Spencer, ex-senator from Ala
bama, Saunders and Paddock, prominent
Senators from Nebraska, Hitchcock and
Merrill, ex-Senators from Nebraska. The
odd man, who was also boarder at the
same house, was Upton, also ex-senator
from Nebraska"
All the time Of the breaking out of the
wal, Saunders was governor Of the Terri.
tori, kellogg was chief Justice, Paddock
was secretary Of the Territory, while thf
others sere interested in various ways in
the deveiopment of the Territory. Ne
braska raised a regiment at the outbreal
of the war, and Merrill was it's colonel
There was great trouble about appoint
ing chaplain. Upton who was after
ward Senator, was a candidate warmly
pressed by band of devoted friends
A siight-of-hand performer, local lect
urer, was also hot contestant for th'
place. Saunders, the governor. who hat
the power of appointment, finally, tt
avoid embarrassment, left the decision t.
the Federal officials. They assembled
with Pitt Kellogg at their head. Thes
lively young men decided to have tn
two candidates preach sermons in com
petitive examination. This was done il
the presence of a large crowd. Tipto
preached half an hour against an equa
time by his opponent. There was no res
contest. Upton was really pious mar
while the other was charlatan. Tipto
secured the award. Through his service
> during the war, and his careful nursin
= of sick and wounded soldiers. he 30 er
!, deared himself to the people of Nebrask
! that they made him United States Sen;

Hayes HFumiliatiOn-The Treaty Of
Mentor.
Special to the Plain Dealer

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-That Hayes
got down in the dirt at Roscoe Conkling's
feet in the hope of saving Stanley Math-
ews, is admitted on all hands, and every
body comedies that Hayes never appeared
before in so pitable a plight. He sur
rendered, absolutely, and withdrew the
nomination of Forster in order to appease
Conkling and induce him to consent to a
report favorable to Matthews. 1t is also
learned that Conkling's visit to Mentor
had something to do with this matter and
that Garfield asked Hayes to yield to the
New York boss. There is no doubt that
Garfield at the Mentor conference pledged
himself to do Roscoe's bidding. Whether
Matthews is helped any is doubtful. Sena.
tors Edmunds, Thurman and Davis still
oppose reporting his name to the Senate
In the Senate yesterday the amendments
made to the funding bill by the Senate
committee were rejected and the bill i:
left in about the same form in which il
came from the House. 1t will pass to
| day.

The story of a Flag.

The Printers Register thus tells the
true story of Republican roorbaok
which had an immense run during the
late Presidential campaign;
The tremendous effect which might re
suit from typographical error was new
er better illustrated than in the Hot
Springs Telegraph and it's rebel flag.
A great Democratic barecue had been
held near the Springs, and the editor had
"thrown himself" in two-column de-
scriptlve article, headed with flaming
lines. To add little glory the compos-
itor was directed to top the article with
that oft-used emblem of our Nation. the
'.stars and stripes" The editorial was
printed and sent out before the busy edi-
tor had time to examine his handiwOrk,
and then. to his horror, he found that he
had flung to the breeze" the "stars and
bars!' The careless compositor in tum-
bling over the dusty box of blackened
cuts had taken this relic of the old war
times and used it without a close exam
ination. Then what an uproar arose!
All the copies of this edition that could
be secured were seized by the politicians,
who paid as high as 81 apiece, and sent
througout the land. The Republican
press, from Harper's Weekly and the
New York Tribune to the most obscure
papers in the remotest Territories, ranG
with the cry of treason. The flag ant
its following head lines were reproduced
by lithography and stereography, anC
met the eye everywhere. The unfortu
nate editor protested in vain: his voic
could not be heard in the din. But nov
that the campaign is over he shall hav
justice.
His name is w. A. Weber, and he is
Northern man, formerly an Iowa editor
He served with honor in the Feders
army, risking his life to put down th
emblem of treason. 1t is as hateful
