J. Mapel superintendent af public ipstruction and Mr. F. T. Lyon principal-of the high school for the emsuing year. Mr. Mapel is graduste of the aniversity of Michi- #an, and sfter graduationpassed three yoars in study and travel in Europe. During the first year after hir return from Europe he filled, temporarily, the yplace of instructor in modern languages st the uviversity of Michi. gen; and for the past four years he has boé superintendent of echools at MecGregor, Ia. Mr. Lyon was gradu- ated ablowa wmiversity in 1875, was assistamt at the Marengo, Ta., high ¢w for two years, and for three rs afterwards ocoupied the position of superintendent of the Onawz, Ta., schools. Both these gentlemen may be for sught we know possessed «f ample qualifications for the poritions to which they have been elected, but the boatd of education is making an unwarranted experiment in giving whadave held positions as educators i) axgs cities. ~They might with the wa riety have gone to Fremont, Plattensouth and Lineoln in our state for a superiatendent of public instruc- ‘tion anda prineipal of the High School. We venture to say that there aro as many bright and talented yourg educstors in the small towns of Ne- brask as there are in the small tow: s oiTows. We hope for the best but fear the change made by the bowrd of edueation will fall short of what we have & right to demand and ex- post form city of our population. We understand that Mr. Fitzpatrick, now superintendent of public cchools at. Leavenworth,and who at onetime wasa. Frominent educator in St. Louis, failed ©f an elsction here in Omaha bocause he could not give eatisfactory evi- dences of being a good church-gocr, Such an issue in the school board is preposterous. If a man's religions viewsate to have preference over his qualifications s au_educator we will have a revolution in the echool board before another year is over. In choosing men to superintend and “to teach in the pubiic schools, the board of education should have been roverned by the same business rules that wouldgovern theaction of business men in the shoice of employes for any other calling. Suppose that the Uaion Pacific railway wanted a gener- 2l superintendent; would they give reference to the superintendent of “oup of the little narrow gauge rail- rods in Towa cver tke snperintendent «f-¢he Baltimere & ‘Ohio, the Penn. ssT¥asia Cental, cr the New York, ially in Omaba wan‘ed an editor; would they take the editor of a weekly newspaperin MoGregor, In., in pref- rence to & man who had been eue- sessful as the editor of daily in Kan- <as City or St. Louis. — Cror reports received from a ma- jority of the counties in Nebraske ndicate the heaviest crop of corn ever :a'hered in the state.

Heavy roduction, uuless & ready market is le, i by no means always & blessing. The great problem which our farmers would like to see solved is how to procure cheap transportaticn for their products to the nearest pro- itable market. With the railroad question inits present unsettled state, undoubted'y the greatest profits for jur farmers lies in feeding their corn to cattle. Bulk is thus reduced and the corn transformed into meat, will bring from three to four times the amount otherwise obtainable. The demand for corn-fed cattle in the fu- ture ill be even greater than inthe past. The market for beef will always a grod one, and such an event as s 0 ¢lut under such circumstances would be unknown.

Tt is calculatd “hat of this amount 250,000,000 wiil be needed for seed and home con- sumplion, leaving a surplus of 244,- 000,000 bushels.

The Democratic Chawpague-Bott e. New York Herald, Ju'y 21, The democratic canvass has opened like the uncorking of a champagne- bottle, with a whirr, and a fizz, and a gqush of foam. The novel accomplish mont of nominating a presidential candidate by a spasm of common sense after twenty years prevalence of political lunacy in the parly was in- vigorating. The suddenness of the foat, the unexpected impetuosity with which ali the Cincinnati delegates, sane und insane, rushed inte con. currence upon Gen. Hanoock, added to the exhilaration. Finally, the popular reception of the nomination, uven by republicans, as a respectabla one, was 80 unwonted a sensation that it has turned democratic heads and made them frisky, To trust the talk in the conferences and the boasts in their rewspaper organs, one would ats e o dendine ction are “‘but as one day;” and thatall that remains to.be dore by or for Gen. Hancock is to pack his trunk and sit on the lid, waiting for an expressman to check it to Washing- ton and deliver it at the White House. If this sbsurd exuberance does not speedily abate, the ctators will be “pt to get3n impression that the re- turn of democratic sanity was only temporary, and the party has suffcred arelapse. The powerful, proud, com- pact organization of the republicans, flushed with five succestive presiden- tial irinmphs, experienced in all the methods by which electoral resulta are achioved, and led by sagacious politi- cians, whose officee, emoluments, in fluence, roputation, all hang in the balance, is not to be ousted by & mera hurrah or by the beating of tom-toms. The walls of its Jericho will not tum, blo at tiic blast of rame’ horns, and the ramparts are held by veteran troops directed by competent com- manders. For asteady drink during the campaign, wo recommend s still wine, of sound body, to tho democrats, in preference to tha froth which they are guzzling at this moment. Does any sane and eober democrat want to comprehend the strength of the repub. lican array which must be metand van- quished before & democratic president can reach the white house? ~ Lot him remember the magnificent porsistence with which Gen. Grant’s delegates sustained his cause in the Chicago convention; let him also remember the ekill with which their solid square was flanked in ths rapid maneuvre which resulted in Gen. Garfield’s nom ination; and then lot him reflect that all the formidable political fighting qualities which were displayed on both sides n that combat will be united in this canvae, as North and South, East and West, in our common couatry whatever their domestio sectional dis- cordances, would unite against a for. eign enemy. It Gen. Grant had been successful st the Chicago, perhaps Democrats might have counted upon a dissolution of the republican organ- ization, somewhat like that which by fel their own in 1860. But it is use- less to speculate about a collapsad con- tiogency. The occasion for a break- up was avoided, and every republican faction is forming into & common line battle, T'ae nfatuation that the republicans are disorganized is one of idiotic features of the preseat deme- cratic condition of exubsrant Inebrie- ty. Multiplication of objects in the field of vision is a symptom of all kinds of drunkenness, political and personal. Becauso an occasional un- important republican here and there has signified his intention early to vote for Gen. Hancock it is a silly in- ference that the party is going to pieces. Sporadiz instances of the trans- fer of partisan allegianco always cc- cur in presidential campaigos and al- ways are exaggerated. And itis just as irrational to impute disaffection to Gen. Grant because be is making sammer trip in Coloraco, or to Sena- tor Conkling because he 18 trolling for muscalionge at Alexandria Bay, in- stead of sweating around the republi- can headquarters in Fifth avenus or at their branch office in Chicago. The preposterous d.lusion which the dem- ooeats have been hugging about General Grant and some of his most ardent friends, that they are disai- fected toward their party because they prefer to take their summer- jaunts in July instead of later in the seascn, is always recoiling, It has unlocked Gen.

M'CRARY ON GARFIELD, A COMPLIMENTARY LETTER. Special diepatch tc The Chicago Tribune, WasnNcro, July 23.—The Hon. Georze W. McCrary, late secrotary of war and judge of the Eighth United States circuit court, has written a let ter to a gentlemsn here asking hi; views of Gen. Garfield and the Credit Motilier case. Judge McOrary, when in congress, was a member of the Poland committee. The letter is as follows: Kroxvx, Ta., July 17, 1880. The Hoo. Charles Beardsley, ‘Washing on: My Dear Sir: Upon my retarn from St. Paul I find your favor of the 26th ult. awaiting me. In reply to your inquiry, I say without qualifica- tion that I regard Gen. Garfield as & man of thorough integrity. I served with him in congress eight years, and came to_know him very intimately. My confidencs was strengthened with his daily life. In the Oredit Mobilier investigation there appesred a conflict of testimony between Gen. Garfield and has drawn from him this procla. mation yesterday, which is worth many more men {6 Gen. Garfield than a bugle-blast 1o a highland chieftain: “Ican say without hesitation that I and Oakes Ames as to the character of their transsctions, but the committee were unanimouely of epivion that, even upon Ames’ own statement, Gen. Garfield had dope no wrong, and Thursday. From the account given | Bi us | A wsocrats and republicans united w0 reporting. The per: graph in the report which seems to decide the disputed question of fact in favor of Ames was based on entries in his memorandum-book, which were offered to corroborate his recollection. It was at most no more than the common case of difference in recollection between parties to a past transaction. Such aonfliots are of daily ocourrence in our oourts, and are decided, as they must be, one way or the other, without any reflection upon upon the veracity of the witness whose recollection is not sustsined. With respect, however, to this transaction, T most say that _subsequent develop- ments and further corsideration of the matter long ago led me to the con- olusion that the memorandum of Mr. Ames was very unreliable, and I have for years felt assured of the correctness of Gen.
