Itlpans Tabules: pleasant laxative.
Tho popocratBaro trying to work up
aympatiiy for themselves nnd a feeling
against Socrotary of Stato Piper bccaubo
of tho hitter's doclslon allowing tho
gold wing democratic ticket to go on
tho ballot, designated aa domocrat,
which dpciaion was confirmed by tho
Bupremo court. Tho facta show how
little grounds tho pops havo for a kick.
Two yeara ago this wing of tho party
boltod whon Holcomb was (indorsed,
and nominated a licdot, but wero com
polled to got on tho ballot by petition.
The ticket got more than one per cent
of tho total vote cast, and ao wero on
titled by law to a placo on tho ticket
last year, and as they had a regular
convention that year and their ticket
got about ten per cont of tho total voto
cast (running way ahead of the silver
wing ticket) tlioy are of caurso entitled
to a placo on tho ballot this year. Mr.
Piper took tho only possible consistont
course, and no rlghtmindod man will
condomn his for it.
THAT BALLOT CONTROVERSY.
Secretary or RUtu IMpor'g DnoUlon Are
Hrutnlnnd Hy the Supreme Court.
Tho facts In regard to the controvorHy
botweon tho two wings of tho demo
cratic party in Nebraska have bean gon
orally understood, and it is duo to Sco
re tury of State Plpor that tho rufblio
should bo correctly informed. It started
in 1804 whon the "gold bug" domoorato
bolted tho convention that nominated
Holoomb, tho bolters nominating a stato
tiokot with P. D. Stnrdevaut for gov
ernor. Socrotary Piper rofusod to pud
tho names ujfton tho ballot oxoopt by
potition. A potitiou with fivo hundred
namoH was soourod and tho namos woro
placed upon tho oflloial ballot on "demo
orats by potition." This ticket in tho
oleotion of 1894 pollod moro than one
por oont of tho voto of tho state. Thin
gave the bolting wing of tho dornocraoy
standing as a party.
In 1805 tho "gold bug" domocrat?
nominated T. J. Mahonoy for supreme
judge. Whon hiB cortiflcato of nomina
tion was filed throe days remained in
which to fllo a protest against putting
hiB name on tho olllcial ballot. After
five days had olapsod a protest was filed.
Socrotary Piper was then estopped by'
law from considering tho protest, but
desiring to bo fair he agreed to stipulato
a tost coso to the supremo court, which
decided that Mahonoy could appear on
tho ballot as a democrut. As a mattor
of fact ho had pollod two votes to every
ouo pollod by tho "silver" democrat for
tho mi mo oflice.
ThiB year tho samo "gold bug" organ
ization uominatod a stato tickot. Tho
"silver" democrats protested. Secretary
Piper decided that tho "gold bugs" had
the right to appear on tho ballot as demo
crats. Tho "Bilvor" democrats appealed
to the supremo court, which not only
sustaiuod Secretary Pipor in this ono
particular, but also as to ovory other
decision. So it will bo seen that those
who attomptod to mako political capital
against tho socrotary of state startod out
too early. Indeed, it is u groat feather in
tho oap of Socrotary Pipor, whoso care
ful nnd law-abiding methods havo boon
of groat valud to tho stato in inuuy in
stances. CORDETT IS COMMENDED.
OpiiOfiItlm Nwii iiiur Dmiounco
tho
flic,; hurt ,l 'tin Detractor.
If any oaudi l.ito on tho ronublican
state tickot is olectod, that ono will be
Stato Superintendent Oorbott, and it
will bo hugely becauso the pooplo de
spise contemptiblo campaigu methods,
especially whon employod against an
efficient public officer.
A contemporary lately described a
certain oourt decision in Qago county
as rovorsing an important ruling of tho
stato suporiutoudout on a point of
Bohool law. Ou investigation wo find
that the ruling in quostiou was sus
tained instead of rovorsod, and in no
oaso has a single decisiou of that officer
boon overruled by tho courts during tho
prosont administration.
We flud that Mr. Oorbett is very pop
ular among touchers and school officers
and thoy spoak of his work as strong
and progressive Wo boliovo tho fool
ish charges agaiust him havo boon
tramped up by a littlo oliquo of per
sonal enemies, and we regret that any
of tho people's party papors should mako
tho political blunder of giving thorn
publicity. Thousands of populiHts who
believe in fair politics will robuko such
mothods with thoir votes. The pooplo's
party is making a strong but fair fight
for principle, and will not bo betrayod
into iudocout attacks by a dosiro.toguiu
spoils of office Waverly Waiohmau
(populiBt).
Henry R. Oorbett's majority for stato
superintendent will bo a robnke to
those who think Nobraska voters can be
foolod by spiteful slanders. Ho dosorvos
re-election upon his oxoellent adminis
tration, which has been one of the most
successful and progressiva that office
has ovor known. Nobraska State Dom

COUNTING THE COST,

i
Tho claim made by Governor Hol
comb that ho has saved $200,000 to tho
htato during his term of office by roasou
of his economical administration of stato
affairs will not stand oven tho most su
perficial investigation. In tho first place,
there has been no suoh saving. In tho
second place, tho governor has nothing
whutovor to do with tho expenditure of
stato moneys. Tho governor appoints
tho heads of all stato institutions oxcopt
tho two industrial schools, whioh aro
appointed by tho board of public lauds
and buildings; oommandor of soldiors'
homo at Milford, appointod by abovo
board aHd approvod by tho govornor,
and suporintondents of industrial homo
at Milford, and home of the friondless
at Lincoln, appointod by a bourd of
lady mauugors.
Supplios for all institutions aro pur
cluiBod by tho board of purchaso and
supplies, consisting of tho govornor as
chairman, commissioner of public lauds
and buildings as secretary, tho seoro
tary of stato, attorney general and stato
troasuror at presont four republicans
and ono populist. Tho law roquiros that
tho secretary of the board shall advor-
, tiso for bids, that tho board shall meot
on tho first day of oaoh quarter, and
j that bids shall thou bo opoued and oou-
I tracts awarded to lowest rosponfilblo
bidder. Tho contractu for supplies aro
then enforced by tho board of public
lands and buildings, of whioh tho gov-
oruor is not a member.
I Section 10 of tho constitution defines
tho powers and duties of tho board of
public lauds and buildings as having
charge and supervision of all buildings,
grounds and lands of tho state, and all
institutions oxcoptthoso for educational
purposes.
Tho legislature of 1877 (section three
revised Btatutes) under tho hoadiug,
"Custody of Buildings." gavo forco to
tho abovo provision. Under tho head
ing, "Disbursemouts ot Funds" (sec
tion four), tho statute says: "Tho said
board shall havo power, under tho ro
Btriotion of this act, to direct tho gen
eral management of all tho said institu
tions and bo responsible for the propor
disbursements of tho funds appropriated
for thoir maintouauco," etc. Under
section six tho board is given power to
pass upon accounts of tho "public offi
cers" or heads of thoRo institutions.
Under section 0, tho board having passed
upon accounts, tho auditor is directed to
issue warrants in payment thereof.
Tims it will bo seen that tho govornor
has nothing at all to do with the control
or management of stato institutions, or
tho auditing, approving or payment of
bills contracted, those dutios boing on
tiroly within tho scopo of tho board of
public lands and buildings, of whioh ho
is not oven a mombor. But if Gov.
Holcomb is correct whon ho statos that
tho sum of $200,000 has been saved dur
ing his administration, tho credit would
bo duo to tho board of public-lauds and '
buildings. This bourd would bo glad to
i have tho oredit for tho saving. Tho I
, fact is, howovor, that tho appropriations I
aro barely sufficient for tho running ox- I
ponses ot tuo stato and stato mstitu- ,
tions, and with six mouths of tho bion- i
' nial poriod yot to run it may appear i
that thoy aro insufficient. Still tho
board behoves that by tho practico of
economy m an directions, m keepmg
with tho policy of tiio past two years,
tho appropriations will bo made to suf-
fico.
Tho legislature of
(boa appropriated
$yu,oiu ior oxponses oi stato govor
JL CIIUIU LUVUIll-
mont and institutions. Tho legislature
of 1805 appropriated $780,270. A saving
it will bo noticed, of $12,000. ,
It is true, too, that thero aro moro
peoplo to caro for than ovor boforo, and
this is dono with a smullor appropria
tion. A comparison of cost of supplios
during throe years shows that a con
pidnrnbln saving has been effected.
For iustanco:
Lump coal was wortli $1.70 in 1893
and (J2.00 in
tho samo.
1890. Other grades about
Men's shoes in 1898 wero $2

cwt.; 1800, $4,09.
All wool suits in 1803 cost $8.00, now
only $5.00.
, Muslin and flour unchanged.
Tho reader will thus see how the
greater number of pooplo can be cured
for in 1805 and 1800 at less oxponse.
Somo pooplo may think it is a light
thing to mislead tho public for political
purposes, but tho mombers of tho board
of public lauds and buildings would,
rather toll tho truth than bo governors.
Tho records of tho sevoral offices iu
tho Btato hoifco occupied by republicans
are always open to tho publio for inspec
tion during office hours, and tho board
invites inspection. Each official is ready
at any and all timos to account for his
)stwardship.
WHY BUSINESS
The mcro prospect of a silver standard is driving capital away from us and la
making times hard. If we wish investors, manufacturers, traders, etc., to risk
thoir capital in ou. country, wo must chain up our free Bilvor and repudiation
dogs. Of course, if wo wish to alienate ourselves from tho rest of tho commer
cial world, we will lot looso those natural enomios of capital and progress, and
the deed is dono.
