NOHODV In the lociHhiluro has yet inovoil to recommit the vote by which the stnto rejected the woiniin sulTrago \ ninoiiihnont in 1RS1I , but the motion is oxpeuluilnt any moment.

TllKitr. are twonly counties in ICansas in which coal is tnircossfiilly mined. Tlioro may bo as iniiny in Nobraslca , when its natural resources have boon fully investit'atod and thoroughly de veloped. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TilK rnllro'iils are still fighting among themselves over the division of the Hpoils. In the meantime , the people are bc-glnning to think seriously of cutting down the spoils and thus giving the rail roads loss cause for anxiety on that Bcoro. TlIK rcsubmisploti is.suo is up in the legislature. It has little prospect - poct of passing al this timo. It is a ehoorful rotluution thai N'ebraskti isfreo at last from the blighting agitntions that make life in Kansas a perpetual nightmare. IK Tin : proposed commercial congress of western states is hold , it is to bo hoped that it will send out a ringing note in favor of a sound and honest cur rency. The suntimunt of the west on that subject has been misunderstood , if not misroprosonted. Tin- : call for hills on seed to bo fur nished destiluto farmorrf develops the fact that Nebraska has plenty for her own needs ami HOIUO to soil to the rest of the world. Nebraska is a great btato , anil only a small part of it , compara tively , was scorched by the drouth. Gi.vr.itA : : , HOOTH'S plan is beginning to take shape in London. The bocoml of the food anil shelter depots provided with tlio "Darkest England' ' fund has Loon opened , The development of his project will bo watched with great in terest on this side of tlio Boa , where his book aroused the same profound interest which it provoked in England. Till- : farmers of Nuckolls county sot an example which does credit to Nebraska and is worthy of general emulation. Many of thorn need assistance in getting seed , hut instead of appeal ing to cither the state or national governments they propose to sign n joint note and raise the amount needed upon their own credit. As the note will be ondorMiil by the business men of Nel son , the county seat , there will bo no ilillloulty in discounting it. Thus Nuck ells county farmers will take care of themselves , which will bo a proud thing to romombcr hereafter. The more gen erally their example is followed , the more cretlitublo it will bo to the slate of Nebraska. JOHN SunitMA.v , il is announced , will retire from public life at the end of his present term. Ho will therefore pursue his presidential ambition no further. Mr. Sherman is a famous member of n famous family. As n member of the house , of the semite and of the cabinet ho has won the highe.-t distinction which torvico in those places has power to confer. For more than a quurior of a century ho bus been one of the great loaders of his party anil one of the sound , reliable statesman who com- inatuled the confidence anil respect of all parties , Ills retirement will bo n loss to the public service , but lie bus richly earned the comfort and luxury of u peaceful old ngo. i\ \rt VS-M / u Ki'itr \\'hon Iho tate university was ostnh * li lu > d the poopln worn assured Hint the institution would , in tv few yptu'Oio Hi'lf-MistitinltiK.

In the senior olasH of Iho college of 111- ornturo , bcictico nml Iho arts , thorn were "I studiMitsin ISUDof whoinonly thrconru residents of the slate outside of Lincoln ; 10 are residents of Lincoln nml two tire from other hiatus , living in Lincoln. Nearly the Hfimo proportion oan bo noted in till the classes and branches. Out of a total of fill students1 , only 217 helntnr to Ihu Hlalo onlsiilo of Lincoln , while 2S1 sire i-lli/.i-ns of Lincoln nnd10 ni'c non-rosidonls who tenipofni'lly have hollies with relatives at Lincoln. An n imittor of fact nearly one-half of all the students at the university and industrial college are not properly uni versity students. The Latin school which really belongs lo a high school course , has lo ! ) students. The art and mmic students , who really should bo under private Instruction , numbiMl. ! ) ( l. All these students should either bo edu cated at Iho respective high schools or take private Jnslruclion at sumo nuisio or art school whore painting and in struction in vocal and instrumental music are speetallirs. \Vilh HiCMI pronaratory and orna mental branches topped oil' the univer sity proper could auhiovegreater results and stand higher abroad than it does now. It is deplorable , but iiovortholoss true , that several hundred Nebraska boys and git-la are students in eastern colleges and universities becan.su our university has degenerated into a more high school for Lincoln. Tills in not due to prejudice. ICvery parent in Nebraska - braska whodubires to give his boys or girls a collegiate education would prefer - for to have them educated in Ne braska if wo had a university like Michigan or Virginia or South Carolina. Hut it may bo said that wo can have such a university if wo only give tlio regents till the money they ask for. Tun ] ! rn : does not believe anything of the kind. Tlio stale hub voted im mense stuns and wo have nothing to show for it excepting three or four second end rate buildings , a library and a laboratory. Wohavostp.itindpred llious- amls of dollars on teaching rudiments of education and on favorites who would scarcely bo able to hold their own in an ordinary academy. There are three or four really capable professors at the university , but ttioir task is uphill in view of the peculiar environment of mediocrity and commonplace. One of two things mint be done. Tlio legislature must cither appropriate a very largo sum of money to carry out a radical plan of reorganization on the high plane of a real university or else compel the regents lo lop off all sine shows and ornamental studies and con tinue within the means at the command of the regents from the steady sources now at its disposal. In 190 the Income from lands sold and lands leaded wns * " > , ! ) . " . This will of course ho increased from year to year. Tlio income from tlio experimental sta tion is $15,000 a year , with n fair pros- iH-ct that $10,000 a year will bo added imdei the Hatch bill. If the nnher- sily and industrial college cannot bo maintained with that income , there should DO a reasonable cliavgo for tuition oxacteil from students. The state does enough forud- iicatiiyi when it educates every boy and girl from the primary grade up to the high school without charge. It cer tainly does seem very unreasonable for the state to pay $ i.V > 00 n year for every graduate , including 19 students from Lincoln and four from other states. This is a luxury which the taxpayers would scarcely indulge in If they wore given a chance to vote the appropria tions directly. KOW nut n The legislature hits passed the limit fixed by law for the introduction of bills. It now has before it the entire hiiMine.-s of the session. Most of it is impractic able , some of it ilangorous , and a small f faction of it uofulnnd necessary , With out wasting another hour in fruitless de bate , or farcical partisan maneuvers , it should press forward to the wise com pletion of the work it was chosen to per form. The paramount is.-iuo at Lincoln Is railroad regulation. All parties are pledged in their platform to give the people relief from the exactions of the corporations nml from tholr pernicious use of power in politics. All parties , therefore , are equally responsible for the manner in which tholr representa tives vote on the question , What the people want to Fee is the abolition of that prolific agent of corrup tion , tlio free pass , ami the provision of reasonable ) maximum rates on the grout staples which Nebraska buys anil soils. It in not nece-nry for the legislature to discuss these questions at length , They are familiar to every body and well understood. It Is neces sary only to act judiciously and submit the record to the people. IJullot reform ia noxv an assured fact. Tax reform and text-book rcfoi'tr are ] likely to got through , at least in a diluted form , which will open the way to morn sweiM'l" ! ? changes horpattiT. Opposition to tlio provision of public warehouses Is nol likely to develop. Tho. o tire the several measures in which the people have n special Interest at this time ami which IhU Icgislnturo was inslrueled lo enact. Tlio time has como when It should got down to serious business , swoop aside the mn.-sof Impractical hob bles Unit Imvo been ollorcd , pass Iho necilt'd legislation ami adjourn prumnlly at the expiration of the legal limit of 00 days. No legislature was over ohoson In Ne braska with greater hopes of usefulness than tlint which Is now assembled in the Twenty-first session , ll was the out come of a genuine donmml for needed to- forms. If il falls to provide those it will be n source of deep disappointment to the people. Such a falluro would Inevitably ho interpreted ns another triumph for the corrupt inlltioneos which on many other occasions have defeated tlio popular will , ami which are more than usually active at Iho capital this winter. But , whatever the results of the ses sion , the time has come to write them in black mnl white into the history of the stato. The legislature should liu- mediately proceed to business. .t i > itisitix ; < t ixn From the reports ju < t submitted by the special treasury agents sent to ia- vesiigato Iho prosontcoiulltlnn and pros pects of the Alaska seal industry , it is apparent that unless something Is speed ily done to protect the seal from exter mination ihure will in a short lime .bo nothing to contend for M ) far a this in dustry is concerned. Those reports show that the seals are rapidly dimin ishing in number ami that their exter mination will bo complete inn few years unless radical stops are taken tonvoH it. A striking feature of the reports is that they provo that the threatened ex termination of the seal is quito as much due to the legalized killing by the losi-oos on the inlands as to pelagic killing by the poachers , and it appears that the company which has a legal monopoly of Iho teal llslierics does not want the killing stopped. When the treasury agent ordered Iho lessees to stop taking tseal ten days in advance of the usual time ho wns answered with a vigorous protest and a threat to claim damages from the government. Thus it appears that danger to this industry is in the greed of the monopoly having a contract from the government as well as from the reckless killing by the poachers , who slaughter indiscrim inately. The decline of this industry during the past 12 years has been marked. In Iho four years from 1ST ! ) lo IBS : ! , in clusive , tliu nnmml number of seals killed on which the government charge was paid was 100,000. During the years ensuing down lo 1SS ! ) the number ranged from 1)1(100 ) ( toi."iOOU ( , while lastyear ; Iho number was but a little over 120,000. These figures promise the same experi ence for the United States that Russia had many years ngo , when almost with out warninir ttio supply of killable f-oa'.s ' was exhausted and the taking of seal had to be suspended for a number of years. The facts ascertained by the special treasury agents fully corroborate the rnport of I'rof. Klllott of tlio Smith sonian itii-titntion some time ago pub lished and now in the hands of the secretary - rotary of stale , and both refute the testimony timony upon which the 13ritish govern ment has relied to support Iho claim thai the seal are in no danger of extinc tion. tion.These These facts will he important when the negotiations between the govern ment of the United Kt.ites and the gov ernment of Great Britain for the settle ment of the Uehring sea controversy and the protection of the seal under an international arrangement tire resumed. These negotiations were interrupted by the proceedings in the supreme court on behalf of the ] > rltish and Cnmulitin gov ernments , a decision upon which the court is expected lo render in April. It cannot with any degree of corlainty bo predicted what the decision will bu or how deeply Iho court will go into the general imeslion in issue between Iho two governments , but In any event there will still bo an opportunity for some international niTangomcnt to pre vent the destruction of an industry in which Knghind has an interest second only to that of tlio United States. Till : necessity for expedition in pre paring for public works bucomns moro apparent every tiny , Tlioro lias boon little worlt in the city during the winter , Hundreds of families are dependent on last .summer's savings and in scores of instances on the gonoroslly of butcher , grocer and landlord. To them Ihc open ing of public works Is of Iho grciilct > l importance. Much time will bo con sumed in complying with the roipilro- incuts of the law , preparing plans , con tracts ami other nocc.saiirlcs. The force of these facts ought to spur tlio council to action , lo Iho und Unit grading , pav ing , curbing and bower building may bj put under way nl the earliest practic able day. Such activity will not only benefit workmgmen , it will stimulate the reinil trade , increase the circulating medium and bet mi example of municipal activity Unit can not fail to have a ben- etlcitil oiled on individual enterprise. C'OXUUKSS itisi.sls upon culling down Iho wages of iheolllcors of Iho world's fair and assume.- , all Iho risks uf having thorn go on a strike at a critical moment. Evidently congress does not realize what dangerous fellows Major Handy , Hun Butlorworlhand Director-General Davis might bo if they got mail. TUB suggestion of Mayor dishing to require policemen to report defective sidewalks in their respective boats should bo carried into elTocl. The work will excrciso tholr menial facilities , broaden their vision and Improve Iholr pcnmaiiahip. A TOt'ciiINii feature of municipal re form in Omaha Is the generosity of the city in educating olllclnls In their tuspeo- tlvo ( Millings at public expense. AX nilventiircr who parts his name In the middle and calls himself S. Kdwln Thort'lon has \on' ir nl to u 'op ' the pro- ( luroiM and W'irlvlu 'ineti informed about Iho doings of t ljtv logtslnluro through patimMnstdo 'Killers which arc duplicated to some fid country weeklies , If the man hail any decency ami would ndhe.ro lo Iho truth , nobody could objoel lo his making a living out of the Inde pendents by pretending to bo ti "rnntankerons" anti-monopolist. Hut Iho kid-gloved son of toll Is an Infernal liar niiil n fraud. In his letter of l-'ob- 1'iinry 21 ho says : , "A powerful railroad lobby httfl just arrived from Omaha and taken up headquarters al the Lincoln. 1 am reliably Informed thai Hosowater Is doing nil in his power to assist tlioin in defeating all good rail road legislation. " Now there Is mulling now or very startling in the stalemonl that there is a powerful railroad lobby at Lincoln. It has been there all the time since the legislature convened and 'I'm : lif.i : IUH timu and again pointed to thai fact and even published Iho names of the leading enppors. Hut whore Is Iho reliable informant who can stand up and face Uosowator with Iho charge thai ho Is in collusion with the railroad lobby and doing everything in his power to defeat all good railroad legislation , Wr. DO not ordinarily look to Arkansas for a " good example In legislation , hut thai slate presents one in its law to pre vent the granting of free pusses by any railroad or Irnnaporlnlion company to any ollicors of the state. This act pro vides Unit no such corporationtdmll glvo to any olllcer of the state , legislative , ox- eciithe or judicial , transportation either free of charge or for a loss compensation than that demanded or received from Iho general public , and prescribes for every violation of Iho not a penalty of not less than JjL'OO nor exceeding $2,000. It also provides that any olllcer accept ing transportation fi'oo or for less com pensation than tlint received there- for from Iho general public shall be subject lo a line of not less than $20 nor moro than $1200 and shall bo removed - moved from olllre , and such olllcer may bo prosecuted in any county where ho resides or in which a froc pa s may have been in use by him. This law lias been in force four years , and the testimony is that it has boon etToclivo and is gener ally considered a good law. If that is the experience of Arkansas , there is reason lo believe that a similar slaluto would be equally elToctivo and popular in Nebraska. Tun city ollicialft have at lastawakenod to the necessity of reform in tlio law reg ulating the laying ami repairing of side walks , Hundreds of dollars have been paid by the city in settlement of claims for damages inilictedon pedestrians , ami u judgment for SI,000 caps the list. Tlioro is probably no other law in force in the city so glaringly unjust and inconsistent. . Tlio city is held responsible for injuries inllietod by defective sidewalks , while at the sumo lime Ilio hands of the authorities are tiud against prompt repairs. As long ns the courts hold the city responsible , the city should devise means to p.rotcct itself , anil Unit proVcction cannot bo had while the city is-obliged to notify the properly owners , lo advorti.so the de fects , and wait froj-jislx to ten weeks for an order to go ilivough an ahaiird system of rod tape. Tun mere Intimation that Vnnder- voortlmd resigned a federal soft snap was sulllcionl to start n ilo/.onnienon the scout of thoollico. Nearly every canaiiltituan nounced was a Twonty-Kighlor before that organisation kurtlutikod. Any emo of them is mentally enpiblo of holding down the sil because there is ab.-olutoly noils ing lo do. Hut the delegation in \Vashitigtnii will hardly recommend a chronic ward striker for any position what over it may bo. Tlio truth la , the place , title and emoluments should die with the exit of Vnmlorvoort. Tin : payment of junk-nting expenses of onloials by Iho city should bo promptly slopped. Why should Iho public treas ury bo taxed lo pay the expenses of a pleasure trip for the chairman of tlio board of public works , the building inspector specter or any other ollleial ? Suppose the mayor or the president of Iho coun cil or any of the members desired to ox- ainino Iho municipal machinery of other cilios , must tlio lax-payers font the bills ? The precedent is bad , and if porsisled in will lead to imposture ami extravagance. Tin ; snlToring of tlio people of Ariv.ona in Iho presence of a largo quantity of water is really pitiable.
