THE END IN SIGHT.
The long and bitter campaign is
fast drawing to a close. The heavy
gnns have been fired. The big lies
have been nailed. The booth is in
sight and the ballot almost in the
hands of the voters. The critical
moment has arrived and seventy
millions of people are strong np to
the highest point of nervous ex
pectancy. It has truly been a cam
paign of education and the educators
have done well their. work. The
result lies with the voter. His in
telligence and his honesty must de
cide for the weal or the woe of his
country. The Fboktub hopes that
every voter may folly feel the re
sponsibility that is his. It hopes
that he will again carefully survey
the situation and realize the import
ancy of the event There has not
been since the war an election upon
which so much hinged, or whioh de
manded calmer or more deliberate
judgment and patriotic action. The
forces of unrest, discontent dishon
esty and outlawry ' have combined
and threaten the public peace and
security. The planks of the allied
forces have not a virtuous limb upon
whioh to stand. Individually and
collectively they represent nothing
but worn out isms and dangerous
fallacies. They are supported by an
unsafe element of American citizen
ship. The brains and conservatism
or America is against them- They
select the highest tribunal in the
land as a sacrafioe for a Roman
holiday. They pledge themselves to
foist upon the people that monstrous
humbug known as the initiative and
referendum. They threaten the
American farmer and laboring man
with a nearer approaoh to free trade.
They advocate the debasement of
our currency. They bribe the debtor
tc dishonesty and invite the creditor
to a feast of ruin.
The republican party on the other
hand stands for vastly different
measures. It demands respect for
our courts. It promises a protective
tariff, without which the United
States has never prospered. It in
sists that law and order must prevail.
It advocates a sound and stable cur
rency.
We reiterate the hope that each
individual voter will judge these
questions with oandor and register
his vote upon the right side.
Vote the republican ticket straight
from top to bottom.

Thsr* is no question but what
John Herrington will be elected
supervisor. He is sure to win.
The people want him and they are
going to give him itn overwhelming
majority. Get out and work for
him and help the young men to the
front. __
Atkinson should give W, N. Goats
a big majority, and we believe they
wi|U do it Sectional discord
should be obliterated and all Bhould
work for party success. Our sister
city has always stood up for repub
lican principles and this year will
be no exception to the role.
Thij constitution of the state of
Nebraska makes drunkenness on the
part of any state official a cause for
impeachment and removal from
office. The question which this pro
vision suggests is: Should any man
be elected to any office, state or
national, who is notoriously an
habitual drunkard? If the framers
of the constitution looked upon
drunkenness as so henious an offense
as to make it a cause of impeach
ment, ought it not also be regarded
as a disqualification for office not to
be overlooked or condoned? In the
present election these questions must
come home to every voter in the
Sixth district, where , the populist
nominee for congress, W. L. Greene,
is known to be an inourable victim
of the drink habit They must ask
themselves whether they want to be
represented in congress be a man
who must be cared for constantly by
his friends because he is in an almost
chronic condition of bestial helpless
ness. They must ask themselves
whether there is any likelihood that
a man who cannot keep sober during
the tew weeks of the campaign will
keep sober should he be sent to
Washington. They must ask them
selves whether they want their dis
trict mid state disgraced by a repre
sentative who regularly succumbs to
the whiskey jug every time it comes
within reach. If habitual drunken
peas were Judge Green’s only fail
I mg he would pot be the dangerous
man that he is. A failure first as a
minister and then as a lawyer, he
gives no promise of being anything
else but a failure in every other
capacity. Unable to withstand the
temptations of liquor, is it not more
than probable that he would also be
unable to withstand the temptations
that beset national legislators?
Having already displayed a lament
able lack of moral stamina at critical
periods, is it not more than probable
that should he reach Washington in
an official capacity he would become
altogether devoid of it? If at Kear
ney, where he is best known, he is
least trusted, is it not more than
probable that at Washington he
would be still less to be trusted ?
The people of the Sixth district have
a choice at the coming 'election be
tween this man, W. L. Greene, and
A. E. Cady, a sober, honorable, up
right, capable man, whose fidelity an
a public officer has been tested and
never found wanting. Cady or
Greene—can their be any hesitation
as to the choice?—Omaha Bee.
TRIBUTE TO A. E. CADY.
The people of Howard county
sent Mr. Cady to the legislature in
1880 and his work in that body not
only attracted general attention but
elicited most favorable comment
from the press of the state, The
people are constantly and properly
demanding honest and faithful ser
vice from those whom they place in
public position, and there can be no
means more certain to assure this
result than to acknowledge and
recognize honest and faithful service
when performed. The following
extract is fairly representative of
the many published by the news
papers of the state:
At the conclusion of the session
the following from the pen of Peter
Ebbeson appeared in the Dannebrog
Star, or Sentinel:
Representative Cady, who was
sent to the house from this district,
made a most conspicious record.
Probably no other man appearing in
the halls of legislation for the first
time has so thoroughly made his
murk or distinguished himself in so
great a degree as Mr. Cady. He in
troduced a uumber of bills, the most
sensible among which were the
county treasurer inspector law, the
law for the encouragement of sugar
l>eet culture and the measure relat
ing to farmers’ mutuals. But two
became laws, namely: A joint reso
lution relating to school lands and
the act to encourage the manufacture
of sugar. The only circumstance
that could be taken to cast an
obscuring shadow over the brilliant
achievements of Mr. Cady in the
legislative body of Nebraska is his
authorship of the double-barreled
submission bill. Whether hiB in
Bpiring motive may have been a
consideration for general public
favor or not, any shortcoming on the
part of the author in this respect is
more than amply compensated for
in the noble and honorable defense
of the public treasury which Mr.
Cady made, especially during the
dosing hours of the legislature when
the forces of robbery, deceit and
publio marauders was marshaled
3gainst it It was largely due to
ady’s splendid powers as a parli
mentarian and his fixed purpose of
honesty, that the attempts of the
dishonest element were made fruit
less.
Mr. Ebbeson had been Mr. Cady’s
opponent, and the above tribute to
his successful competitor was both
manly and generous, and it loses
none of its force that Mr. Ebbeson
was then, as now, editor of an inde
pendent paper.

COUNTING THE COST.
ECONOMY IN MANAGEMENT OF THE
STATE GOVERNMENT.
No Foundation to the Personal Claims
Made bj Got. Holcomb—Hepabllcan Of.
fielals Hare Entire Control at State la. j
stitntlons and the DUbnrsement of Fanda. j
1 :
The claim made by Governor Hoi-'
comb that he has saved $200,000 to the
state daring his term of office by reason
of his economical administration of state
affairs will not stand even the most su*
perficial investigation. In the first place,
there has been no such saving. In the
second place, the governor has nothing
whatever to do with the expenditure of ,
state moneys. The governor appoints
the heads of all state institutions exoept
the two industrial schools, which are
appointed by the board of public lands
and buildings; commander of soldiers’
home at Milford, appointed by above ;
board and approved by the governor, 1
and superintendents of industrial home
at Milford, and home of the friendless
Lincoln, appointed by a board of '
lady managers. 1
Supplies for all institutions are pur
chased by the board of purchase and
supplies, consisting of the governor as
chairman, commissioner of public lands
and buildings as secretary, the secre
tary of state, attorney general and state j
treasurer—at present four republicans |
. and one populist. The law requires that;
the secretary of the board shall adver- .
Use for bids, that the board shall meet:
on the first day of each quarter, and '
that bids shall then be opened and con- i
tracts awarded to lowest responsible 1
bidder. The contracts for supplies are !
then enforced by the board of publio
lands and buildings, of which the gov
ernor is not a member.
Section 10 of the constitution defines
the powers and duties of the board of !
publio lands and buildings as having
oharge and supervision of all buildings,
grounds and lands of the state, and all
institutions exoept those for educational
purposes.
The legislature of 1877 (section three
revised statutes) under the heading,
"Custody of Buildings," gave force to
the above provision. Under the head
ing, "Disbursements of Funds" (sec
tion four), the statute says: "The said .
board shall have power, under the re- i
striotion of this act, to direct the gen- '
eral management of all the said instltu- '
tions and be responsible for the proper !
disbursements of the funds appropriated
for their maintenance, ” etc. Under
section six the board is given power to
pass upon accounts of the "public offi
cers” or heads of these institutions.
Under section 6, the board having passed
upon accounts, the auditor is directed to ,
issue warrants in payment thereof.
Thus it will be seen that the governor
has nothing at all to do with the control
or management of state institutions, or
the auditing, approving or payment o£
bills contracted, those duties being en
tirely within the scope of the board of
publio lands and buildings, of which he
is not even a member. But if Gov.
Holcomb is correct when he states that
the sum of $300,000 has been saved dur
ing his administration, the credit would
be due to the board of publio lands and
buildings. This board would be glad to
have the credit for the saving. The
fact is, however, that the appropriations
are barely sufficient for the running ex
penses of the state and state institu
tions, and with six months of the bien
nial period yet to run it may appear
that they are insufficient. Still the
board believes that by the practice of
economy in aU directions, in keeping
with the policy of the past two years,
the appropriations will be made to suf
fice.
The legislature of 1898 appropriated
$798,810 for expenses of state govern
ment and institutions. The legislature
of 1896 appropriated $780,976. A saving
it will be noticed, of $19,000.
It is true, too, that there are more
people to care for than ever before, and
this is done with a smaller appropria
tion. A comparison of cost of supplies
during three years shows that a con
siderable saving has been effected.
For instance:
Lump coal was worth $3.70 in 1898
and $9.99 in 1896. Other grades about
the same.
Men's shoes in 1893 were $9.60. In
1896 and 1896, only 96 cents and $1.10.
Women’s shoes in 1893 were $1.77, in
1896 only $1.10.
Coffee—1898, 29o per lb.; 1896, 15#.
Syrup—1898, 23o to 27c per gad.; 1896,
14o.
Sugar—Extra C,. 1893, $6.40 per cwt.;
1896, $4.99. Granulated, 1893, $6.90 per
CWt.; 1896, $4.99.
dll wool suits in 1893 cost $8.00, now
only $6.00.
Muslin and flour unchanged.
The reader will thus see how the
greater number of people can be oared
for in 1895 and 1896 at less expense.
Some people may think it is alight
thing to mislead the publio for political
purposes, but the members of the board
. of publio lands and buildings would
rather tell the truth than, be governors.
The records of the several offices in
the state house occupied by republicans
are always open to the public for inspec
tion during office hours, and the board
invites inspection. Each official is ready
at any and all times to account for his
| stewardship.
