8 p. m., as is now sold between G a.
m. and 12 midnight and this is un
doubtedly true. Just how many men
will buy whiskoy or beer by the bottle
before eight in the ovening and drink

tion that will show up after the law be
comes effective.

ho is certain to leave at least a portion
of his money with our business men.

This is tho way the Lincoln Journal
views tho signing of tho daylight sa
loon bill, and thu view is undoubtedly
correct: "Tho threatcninga of slaugh
ter hurled at Governor Shallenberger
in connection with his approval of tho
early closing law are as unjust as they
aro unwiio. To veto that law would,
in tho prosent state of the public mind
in Nebraska, bo to sign the political
death warrant of tho governor and all
Aofhis associates. It would not only
have ruined Governor Shallenberger
but it would havo carried Mr. Bryan
down with him in a hopeless wreck.
From tho first not ono argument for a
voto of the bill was offered that seamed
sound to tho peoplo outsido of Douglas
county. In affixing his signature tho
governor goes with an irresistable tide.
Tho requost of Omaha that he attempt
to stem it wan based on ignorance of
the growing strength of tho temper
ance movemont in Nebraska."
