Six lives were lost and $150,000

TIE party that impairs or cripples -
ples the Slocumb law will have
something to answer for , the fullness -
ness of which may not now be
fully iii ) tlerstood and appreciated.
Hands off !
A uEuB > R who will vote for the
i
contemplated amendments to the
Slocumb law now proposed in our
state legislature should be and
i doubtless will be politically and
morally damned beyond recovery.
The present legislature should be
as decent as it can be , at least. The
integrity o1 the Slocumb law must
not be impaired.
THE various counties wherein
the proposition to vote bonds for
seed and feed have been tested
have remorselessly and relentlessly
paralyzed the proposition afore-
said. These hard times make the
question of bonding especially ob-
noxious. And again , there is a
i bitter popular prejudice against
bonding for any purpose.
THis movement for pure food
ought not to stop with the smashing -
ing of the oleo industry in Neb-
raska. The oleo manufacturer is
almost a saint compared with the
fellow who makes syrup out of old
rags and concocts "Pure Michigan
Cider" without the aid of a single
apple. If we are to weed out
frauds , let us do a thorough } ob of
it. Journal.
THE warning given by Professor
Bessey concerning the new forage
plant , "snccaline , " before the stock
breeders' association , should be
repeated to every farmer and stock
raiser in the state. The seedsmen
are doing their best to convince
the people that the new plant will
enrich every man who invests a
few dollars in seeds , especially if
he be located in the semi-arid
regions. Professor Bessey finds
that saccaline is a fraud , without a
single redeeming virtue , and that
the chief anxiety of the farmer
who sows it will be rid himself of
the plant before it overruns his
farm and becomes a pest.-State
Journal.
THE crying need of the people
of this state just now is grain for
stock and seed grain for spring
planting. Without it there can be
710 crop put in , no matter how favorable -
orable the weather may be. The
prosperity of the farmer , the merchant -
chant and , above all , the railroads ,
is solely dependent upon an adequate -
quate and prompt supply of grain.
The unfortunate tillers of the soil
must not be left to the mercy of
money sharks who will rob them
of their crops in consideration of
advancing money for seed grain.
It is the duty of this state to provide -
vide a means whereby grain may
be provided for actual land owners
and farmers. The importance of
this subject must impress itself
upon the minds of all intelligent
men.-Bee.

THE TRIBUNE is entirely at a
loss to harmonize the position
taken by the Lincoln Journal on
the proposed amendments to the
Slocumb law in its issue of Saturday -
day with its editorial utterances on
that snbjeet in the Sunday issue.

its sudden and apparently complete
change of heart ou this miserable
death blow at Nebraska's liquor
law , which has been and is properly -
erly considered a model of its kind.
A I1EMAIKABLE suit to recover
$758,000 lies been begun by Edward -
ward McGillen of Youngstown ,
Ohio , against John Claflin and
others , comprising the old dry
goods firm of H. B. Claim & Co.
Mr. McGillen , who is well known
in the western dry goody trade ,
asserts that he was "fraudulently
induced" by Mr. Claimn and the
Tatter's partners to transfer two
big dry goods stores that he.owned
in Cleveland , Ohio , to "two dum-
mies" fora price much below the
actual value under circumstances
that lie sets out at great length.
Mr. McGilLen's attorneyswho have
brought the suit , are Bourke Cock-
rime , Congressman Foran of Ohio
and Wales F. Severance. H. R.
Claimn & Co. say that McGillen
was merely a partner in the Cleveland -
land dry goods house , and that he
diverted large sums of the business -
ness , investing them in a ranch
enterprise. In this manner he almost -
most wrecked the dry goods houses ,
it is declared , and when McG-illen's
firm was on the verge of bankruptcy -
cy , he came to them and besought
them to take over the business in
order to avoid the losses that necessarily -
essarily would ensue if an assignment -
ment was made. The plaintiffs in
this suit are well known in the upper -
per Republican valley.

Now that the bonds have been
' given the black eye , we would like
to ask those that did it how we are
to get seed antl feed. There are
some who carried around remon-
strances who need feed and seed
just as badly as the writer , and we
cannot see how they could do it ,
l Bing men of goad horse sense.
Not only does it keer ) us from feed
1
and seed , but it will slop relief
from coming in. The people 1n
the east will say that we had a way
to help ourselves but would not.
Little did you think you were in
the employ of a few who cared
only for their own welfare and not
your own. This has been done by
the creek and ditch farmers who
raised a few beans and potatoes ,
and have a few quarters of land
they want to catch some unfortunates -
ates v , ith ; and after they do this
they have the gall to conieand say ,
"we will get you seed on shares. "
We do iiot believe they can get
enough to supply the demand , and
if they do how can the renter pay
one-third rent and one-third for
use of grain. What have you left
for you labor. I do not think the
needy people have given this matter -
ter enough tliought. There is some
seed that has been shipped in , but
it takes money to get it , and the
question is how are we to get the
money.
