tlie demand are still being taken in
Omaua and elsewhere along the
road. At Cheyenne it is asserted
that recently many employes of the
I'nion Pacific forwarded their prox
ies to Thomas W. Kawson and it is
feared knowledge of this fact has
reached and aroused Mr. Ilarrimau,
who is desirous of getting at the
exact' facts,' so he may be guided in
a wholesale decapitation.
The poll of the employ es in the
car department of the I'nion Pacific
shops at Omaha shows a pitiful mi
nority of insurance in old line com
panies. The inquiry developed
these facts and figures: 5S4,ooo

Workmen; s!oomu in the Modern
Woodmen of America; S.o.ooo
Woodmen of the World: sso.ooo in
miscellaneous small companies, ami .

Asked for an explanation of the j
insurance inquiry, (ieucral Mana-j
ger Mohler disclaimed any knowl-1
edge ol it, saying it was a matter
entirely with Mr. llarriman. The
inquiry extends not only all along
the I'nion Pacific, but Southern
Pacific, Oregon Short Line and Or
egon Railway and X'avigation com
pany as well.
Tin-: meeting of Congress vester-
day was in accordance with the
mandate of the Constitution, which
says that it must meet once a year,
and on the first Monday in Decem
ber, unless a different day is ap
pointed by law. Perhaps the ver
dict rendered by the voters in the
election of each Congress might be
more certainly, as well as more
promptly, made effective if the day
were changed to the 4th of March
next following the election. Per
haps, also, the objections made to
the 4th of March for the public in
auguration of the President might
be satisfactorily met without a con
stitutional amendment by having
the President take the oath of of
fice in the presence of the Senate
on that day, reserving the public
inauguration, with the festivities
and the ceremony attending" it, for
the 3')th of April, the anniversary
of Washington's first inauguration.
In this way the foul weather which
too often attends the inauguration
might be avoided.

A Nl'MBKK of insurance policy
holders of Plattsmouth have sent in

officers of the Xew York Life, and

I'rox leaving the white house
yesterday. Congressman Ilenshaw
of the Fourth Nebraska district ex
pressed his positive conviction that
a rate bill in accordance with the
president's policy, and acceptable
to the president to the fullest extent,
will get through both houses of con
gress this session.
Xow that people have to begin
paying their personal taxes, which
become delinquent today then the
howls go up. Some of those re
publicans who were so enthusiastic
for the new revenue law are doing
the most howling. It is hard for
them to take their own medicine
without making a wry face atid do
ing some loud talking.
neither proposition would call for
much trouble in establishing the
truth of it in Xebraska.
Xow that the cold stormy weather
is here and will probably continue
for several months, the Journal
would suggest that all its patrons
put up boxes so the carrier boys will
have no trouble hereafter in leaving
papers, and that all will hereafter
get their papers regularly without
having to dig their papers out of the
snow or hunt all over the yard for it
after dark.
Pkxkv Uklxoxt believes that
the best thing in the way of secur
ing reform in the public service, or
in politics, is to insist upon pub
licity. Terry is right. The press
of tlie country has taken the lead
in the exposure of frauds of every
kind.

Ax exchange, in a hurst of sym
pathy, asks why Burton should be
singled out. and if he and Mitchell
are the only men in the I'nited
States senate who ought to be in the
penitentiary. Ofcoursenot. How
ever, the present accommodations
would be inadequate at the peniten
tiaries if all the statesmen in the
land who deserve to be doing time
were sent thcre. It is best to han
dle this rascal business on the in
stallment plan. '
Midget Mickey has denied the
charge that he is a candidate for a
third term. Just as well. He
couldn't be elected if he was. The
people of Xebraska have had their
sufficiency of Mickeyism, and no
one knows it any better than the
governor.
Ix the new congress the republi
can majority is so great that it may
prove unwieldy. The president
and the speaker of the house seem
confident of holding down the lid
and carrying through their cut-and-dried
program of legislation. Per
haps they may, but asthe democrats
have barely more than a third of
the membership in the house,
and that thirdalmost from thesouth,
and there seems ample scope for
differences of opinion and of inter
est to assert themselves among the
majority.
