XXX exhibition of itself. Late in the
week. after our remarks which appear
on the first page of The COURIER were
printed. the apologize morning paper
did make a pseudo answer to Rev.
Chapin's sermon. But the Journal
didn't answer anything. Most Of the
space was devoted to a defense Of the
republican party against pretended ac-
cusations. The republican party can
take care of itself. To the charge that
the Journal is actuated by no principle
OF right or justice and that it stands
sponsor for the vilest corruption, there
was no answer. The Journal can hard
ly deny that which everybody knows 10
be true.

happy to learn that he is all right. He
now comes to the surface in an endeavor
to get Secretary Morton and Secretary
Carlisle to come out to Nebraska to the
democratic state convention in Septem-
Der and rescue the democratic party
from the free silverites. There isn't
much left of the democratic party save
those pillars of the administration. DIR.

THIS AND THAT

One of the latest manifestations in
the Fifth ward is the increased impor-
lance OF the boom of A. ID. Burr for
clerk OF he district court Mr. Burr
has been a candidate for this office for
some time; but he has held back little.
and many persons have supposed that
he would be willing to let Ensign and
Sizer and Cochran and Maule do most
OF the fighting in the ward. But there
are indications now that Burr may decide
to get right in the middle Of the fray
1t is said that he will make strong
fight for the delegation.
One hears so much news away from
home. The following comes by way of
Chicago, appearing in the ArkdnsdU
TraUeier: The good news from Ne
braska regarding the bright crop pros
poets, caused by recent rains. is vel
come theme for discussion just now in
commercial circles. Nebraska always
was great agricultural state. one of
the best in the Union, and the only
blight on its fair name has been that
put on by the twin disasters; the pop
ulist craze and the crop failure. But
from present appearances good times
are surely in store for the Centennial
State. for not only is there to be a
bountiful harvest, but also return to
republican prosperity which has nearly
always been the states good fortune
since its inception to the Union. Re-
publican leaders are already busying
themselves in search OF sure winner
for the Gubernatorial chair, and thus
for the present, State Auditor, Mr..
Eugene Moore seems to lead in popular
ity. A wiser choice could not be made.
Mr.. Moore's administration Of the office
for two terms has made him a record
without stain. He is a young man
with character beyond reproach, and
it is just that sort of man that Nebras-
ka needs at the helm now to restor e
the confidence of the world at large and
regain for Nebraska that enviable repu-
tation she enjoyed prior to her late mis-
fortunes"
1t will be news to many Nebraskans
to learn that Nebraska is the Centennial
state. There is an understanding here
abouts that Colorado enjoys that dis
sihction. And it is not generally known
here that Eugene Moore, the auditor Of
public accounts, is candidate for gov
ernor, although r. E. Moore, the lieut.
enant governor, is credited with CUB.
ernatorial aspirations. If Gene Moore
intends to become a candidate he will
find plenty of friends to push his can
didacy along.

LARGELY SUSTAINED
ARE THE MANY CHARGES AGAINST
SUPERINTENDENT JOHNSON.
Senator BOyd's Committee at Work
at Fort Wayne-In Order to Hear
from Rev. Coombs shortly.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE. Ind, Feb. 25.-There was
great interest to-day in what was brought
out at the investigation of charges against
Superintendent Johnson's management of
the State Institute for Predetermined
Youth The entire day was taken up and
the committee will not be through before
tomorrow night. DIR. Sweringen, physician
of the institution, was the first winners
called. His testimony was of little impor-
lance. except that it developed document
written by Superintendent johnson to Hon.
Robert G. Bell during the late campaign
to be used as a political document Follow
ing is extract from it:
HE urged the retention of Democratic
control of the State because that party had
just commenced the task of placing all the
State institutions under civil service and
to give the new departure respectable
chance to get established. Let the new
benevolent laws enacted by the Democratic
Legislatures of 1889, 1891 and 1893 have an
opportunity to become popular by their re-
suits before you turn over the control to
those who. if ever SO good. would make
changes for the worse instead of better"
Mrs Orr, the matron. was next examined
and testified that in some respects johnson
was competent superintendent, in other
respects he was not. His good qualities
are not predominant she said, 'as to
make him suitable person for supern-
tendent He does not stand by his. own
rules and orders, issuing an order one day
and countermandng it the next, and he has
a violent temper, and on one occasion called
me a liar and accused me of having sought
to estrange him from his Wife.
This afternoon twenty principal merchants
testified that Johnson had been exceedingly
economical in purchasing supplies and made
them bid so low that there was nothing in
it to deal with the institution.
On the charge of the cooks and assist
ants that there were worms in the meal,
and that the meat tainted, it was
proven that it was without JohnSon'S knowl-
edge, and that when he learned of it he
ordered the damaged goods returned at once
to the seller.
The testimony of Jack Frost whom
Johnson punished so severely, was taken
this afternoon, ana that affair, together
with the political letter written by him,
are the only serious charges that have, SO
far, been brought against him. Johnson's
testimony will not be heard till tomorrow.
1t is believed here the Frost case will prob
ably be the cause of his dismissal.

REV. CooMBs is DUMB.
Nothing Yet Heard of His Plan to
Discipline Rev. Davies.

OAKLAND, Feb. %. = Rev. Edward
Davies, actor-preacher word-painter, patron
of the waltz and sponsor for bean poker,
continues to preach to immense audiences.
He says he realizes that the opportunity of
his life is at hand and he will endeavor to
become a truly great man. He will not feel
called on to preach if the congregation
diminishes and says he won't speak unless
every seat is occupied. He ascribes to
jealousy the invitation of Rev. j. K
Coombs, of Connersville, Ind, to come to
Oakland to correct and discipline him.
Davies said II know Rev. Coombs; he is
successful evangelist. but an illiterate
man--one Of the old school of theologians
should welcome him here forever
A dispatch from Connersvlle says that
the Rev. Coombs is not a minister there
but that he is Christian evangelist well
known in the State, and is at present at
work in Alexandria. He has had some
success as an evangelist, but nothing is
known of his plan of going to California to
discipline Rev. Davies.
