IT is rumored , says the Bloom-
Echo , that the number of
laud ofliees in Nebraska will be
reduced this winter to six. The
same junior specifies that the
Bloomiijgton and Grand Island
ollices will be consolidated with
the Lincoln office as a starter in
the work of reducing expenses.
It is said time in time the ofiice at
the capital will be the only one in
operation.
A-itTiCLES of association of the
national brotherhood of soldiers
were filed with the Indiana secre
tary of state Monday. The organ
ization is democratic , and subordi
nate branches are to be schools of
democracy. Both union and confederate -
V
federate democratic soldiers are
eligible to membership , and in
the event of the death of a member
his oldest , son , if a voter , is eligible
to the vacancy. Of the members
of the national council three are
ex-union soldiers and two
- are ex-
confederates.
THERE is no doubt of a large ma
jority of the electors of Nebraska *
being in favor of the two proposed
amendments to the constitution
voted at the recent election , but
they were both lost for the same
refison that other amendments
voted on in recent years failed to
carry. The law requires that an
amendment must receive a major
ity of the votes cast to be adopted ,
but some how voters overlook that
part of the ticket and fail to vote
either way. For years the people
have been clamoring for the elec
tion of railroad cpmmissiouers by
the people , but when the "people"
have an opportunity to have it that
way , they fail through carelessness
alone to make it so. The submis
sion of a proposition of this kind
to a vote of the people is attended
with a good deal pf expense. The
publication of the governor's proc
lamation alone costs thousands of
dollars.
THE claim that popular election
of United States senators would
give the people a better represen
tation in that body may or may
Lot be true. It is not on tha
ground that the Journal has , for
many years , favored a change ii
the constitution that shall provide
for that method of choosing sena
tors. The change is necessary to
protect the state government from
the legislative demoralization and
waste of valuable time , in the two
contests that occur in every six
years of legislature life. In the
states that have annual sessions of
} heir legislature one-third of the
ime of such sessions is virtually
wasted over senatorial jamborees
The legislature lhat is to elect a.
senator is thoroughly demoralized
and performs very feebly the
duties devolved upon it. The
senatorial election dwarfs the
egitimate business for which a
egislature is intended , and is an
element of corruption and fierce
factionalism from the beginning
; o the end of the.session. In leg-
slatures that meet biennially , like
ours , two out of every three ses
sions are wasted , leaving us barely
one real legislative session in six
rears for the transaction of legiti
mate business , uninterrupted by
; he accident of a senatorial fight.
! t is paying too much for the
vhistle. But if the people are
compelled to elect a senator , the
ntroduction of national and per-
onal politics into state legislatures
: o the exclusion of the important
tate interests -which legislatures
ire primarily intended to sub-
erve , would cease. The banishment - '
ment of this extraneous distur-
) auce from state legislatures
would be of the greatest service to
every state in the union. Jour
