We are glad to find that Judge Neville claims to stand with the republicans upon this prop osition. We desire, however, to take-aexceptions to the comment madeby "the editor, when he says: "It is a positive relief in these days Wjhen so many courts are tainted by corporate influence in finding every,! law unconstitutional, to -find one judge who is not afraid to stand by the rights of the people.' From whom did the people of Ne braska get its first law on irriga tion? The republican legislature of 1889; see page 503 of the session laws of 1889; it being what is known as the Rainer law, he being the republican representative from this district. "What did the legislature of 1891 do upon the subject or irri gation? Nothing. This was the year when populist senator Stevens was in the senate from tins district and a populist from Perkins county whose name we have forgotten, was in the house. The legislature of 1891 was populist by a large majority, and Stevens the big gitn, but no legislation upon this all important question was passed. The legislature of 1893 was-not so overwhelmiugly popqlist, the re-' publicans and democrats haviqg control of the senate, and some aminendments were passed upon this subjecL. See page 377 of the laws of 1893. But in the year 1894' $he republicans reclaimed this leg islature and senatorial district from the populists. The republicans again had control of both houses at Lincoln, and the whole irrigation law was remodeled, and perfected and the district law added to the same. , f Butthsrasays ,courts tainted by , corporate influence find laws made for the people unconstitu tional. Then this irrigation law which was enacted by the republicans was made for the people. Now who are the attorneys in western Nebraska who went into court and affirmed: the unconstitutionality of the irri gation law? No other than our own and only Thomas Fulton Gantt. ile-did this in the case of Paxton & Hershsy, a corporation, vs. Farm ers & Merchants' Canal Co. - This case was decided by Judge Sinclair, a republican, in the spring of 1895, in favor of the law and on the side of the people. It was ap pealed to the supreme court of Ne braska, and we are glad to say that this republican court was not tainted by corporateinfluence, but in a carefully prepared opinion by Judge Post, the law is held consti tutional in every particular. The Tribune will . state right here that H. M. Grimes, republican candidate for district judgfit ap peared in both the home andvthe supreme courtsin the case above re ferred to, and argued for the law and has contended from the first that our republican supreme court would hold the law constitutional, and if his printed brief of 48 pages, which was filed in that ease,- and printed in The Tribune office in June last, is carefully examined,, it will be found that many ot the arguments therein contained have found their way into the irrigation opinion printed in the Era of last week. The Era admits that the irriga tion law is an act in the interest" of the people, and a question in which the people of western Nebraska are intensely interested in. Thi& being true what action was taken by the populist party in their. late conven tions upon this question? Nothing. Head their county, judicial and state platforms and not one word will be found committing that party to the furthering of irrigation enter prises. But on the contrary the Lincoln county republican conven tion whichnominated its candidates for county offices committed itself strongly to the subject of irriga tion. The judicial convention whicli nominate8 2Jrr Q rim.es, a.mi the platform upon which he is making his campaign, stands squarely com mitted to the subject of irrigation. And further the last republican state convention which was held at Lincoln, Neb., October 3d, has as one of its chief planks which was adoptedwitliput a disseating vote, the, following upon, the subject ' of irrigation: "The-republickitpartyt always foremost in th ;malch of progress, recognizes the. importance of irriga tion to the people- of the western part of thetate and we pledge the party to the same friendly spirit in the consideration ot future legisla tion as it ejuhlSUed toward these interests in the- enactment of the first general irrigation law in 1889 and again in 1895, upon itfe return to power inbdth howses of the legis lature when it'greatly extended the features of the law of 1889 and in cluded provisions for the orgauiz tion of irrigation districts." - And we hereby ask the ccxigress of the United States.to eiaij such laws as will determine tkef rights between citizens of severalftstates in the use ot water-for ii purposes f rom streams $ I rm finn lowing through two or mor$ stat To further aid ill thelievelop ment of irrigation we 'uldre spectfulh request oiif ccttgwssional delegation to urge'the pasgfcge of a law granting to the statfor this purpose the r e m a 1 n 1 n g p Mi c lands undisposed of within ouSorders.1' SEVILLE'S -WA JH00 XD. As Judge Neville il passing as an old soldier, and is akihg7 support from the bovs who iwbrehe blue, it is not out of placetb acquaint the old soldiers as to tip service the Judge gave his countfy- The record of the Grand Army l?osfeto which he belongs is as follows: William Neville, fagc37 years, born in" Illinois, residence North Platte, Nebraska, occupation at torney. Entry into service, date May 38th, 1864; rank, private, com pany, H,. 142 111. Inf. ;final discharge date, October 26th, 1864; rank, ser geant Co. Hf 142 111. Inf.; length of service, 5 . months; cause of dis charge, expiration, time of service; date of muster intoTG.: A. R., Aug. 10th, 1881. . ,f The Era klast weer'said that H. M. Grimes never smelled powder. The above recordwould indicate that Judge NeviUdudid 'not smell powdetTT dp'ir hexdicPfife frightened him and'he quit'the service! before the war was Over. If Christ came. to Lincoln county would he approve of the unchristian methods Rev. Franklin is using in his endeavor to have his wife elected county superintendent? Is not this "man of the cloth" . prosti tuting his religion for the- sake of political preferment? James M. Ray has been an effi cient and impartial judge, and in proof of this we refer to the fact that the opposition has not publicly said one word .against him, caunot truthfully do so. Both Gantt and Beeler will admit that the records during Judge Ray's incumbency of the office are absolutely correct.

FAMOUS DEBATE DECIDED Itf FAV0E0F "THE HARD TIMES." Joint debate: Affirmative, You and Yourself; negative, Y. M. C. A. The judges in the debate are the famous jurists, Economy and In telligence. Question debated is, "Resolved, That life is not worth livinjr these hard times'." The gehtlemeu-on th.e affirmative took the floor and with their prov erbial skill in argument of cold facts, planked down the following; There are several months in the year that we make but little more than our board and clothes. Withl the wasres we get and the margin on goods so close and the general hard times, it is all we can do "to the necessities of "life. We are too close runn to ouv our selves or our children such books and magazines as we ought to have. In short life is a, constant worry and not worth living." The argument for the negative: Gentlemen: 'We - are living, we are dwelling, in a grand and awful time, in an age on ages telling, to. be living is sublime.' Ail of the magazines published in this country-cost ou,aivaverage about $3.00, and the leading dailies about $5.00, while the weeklies are $1.00. Now 3tou would if you could, probably take a magazine at $3.00, a weeklv for $1.00 and pay 5.00 for a daily, but can not take all -you would like to. You will find in the association rooms between $80 and $100 worth of reading matter, whicli we give you forSl.OO, i. e., considering that to be One-third of our privileges. "A good bath room with hot and cold water is a luxury whicli but few comparitively can afford. Have you a cold $100 to fit up such a com fort? An ordinary bath at a barber ' shop will cost you twenty-fivecents. Now to make our opponents rue what they have said regarding life, we will give you two baths per week for a year, 104 baths tor $1.00; considering that to be one-third of our privilege. One bath per week for a year would be $13. Now, honorable Judges, how much have been saved? Just $2Z ".We have at present abouc 1,000 volumes in our library that you can use or let your family do so. There are several standard works you would like to-read, but can't afford to buy them. How can you con sistently say that you cannot afford your family all the books they need when we make you the offer of the use of this ' library tor $1?00; con sidering this one-third of our privi leges. Now, $300 Is ' the price ot a membership for one ;year that, ser cures to you not only the privileges spoken of, but various -social times and the privilege of getting into the lyceum 'scraps." You like a friendly game, a nice place to write your friends, or a business letter if you desire, papers and envelopes free, a .place to go Sunday after noons and to spend, profitably the lay-over or leisure hour; in fact all that a ihan without bristles could ask for, 'Now, Judges, consider well the points made, and in- addition .to whatnve have offered we expect to have a first?class ..gymnasium. There arc many advantages that wehave not spoken of. Now, we want to .meet the argu ment that our opponents gave, namely 'that they could not pay three dollars down in cash.' The t gentlemen can pay one dollar each month until paid, and get all the privileges at once; see?" Now, to convince you that all this is and inore too, if any one will call, we wijl give them a ten days ticket tree. Seeing is evidence." Later. The judge decided unani mously in favor of tke negative. Tkc crowd composed a great INVESTIGATE! ioes the best wheel work west ori I Kearney.

The wheel is having- immense vogue at the na tional capital, where the asphalt pavements invite the pleasure, and where everybody irom Supreme Justice to House page rides.

New York World. - Secretary Morton's special agent, who has been investigating; the government experiment farm in Western' Kansas, .declares .that 4,if the present high prices of cattle con tinue, by next year .the cattle will be pretty well cleaned put of ihe country." As cattle are 'now sell ing for fully a dollar per hundred weight lessthan they, were worth last spring, when the great hubub was made by the .agricultural de partment officials over alleged high prices to the .consumer, and low prices to the producer, it would seem a though this special agent were unconsciously giving" the sec retary, of, agriculture a dig" in the ribs.
