A bill has been introduced in the

members from being sued or jailed

measure was perhaps necessary in
view of the fact that 1,120 bills have

session. ‘ -

Tax populist legislature has been
in session about a month, and the
only thing they have done is to un
seat four republicans and put
fusionites in their places so that
they could declare the amendment
providing for five judges of the
supreme court, carried, and thus
seat the populists. What a just
party of puiity and reform this isl
If they have no precedent to govern
them they make one. If there is no
law under which they can do some
thing for their party, they enact one.
They are bound to make themselves

Tax present session of the Ne
braska legislature is a screamer.
They have got a streak of economy,
and are now trying to cut the rates
for the publication of legal notices
about one-half. It would be more
in keeping with the eternal fitness
of things if they would out the per
diem of the members of both houses
to $1. Then when the popooratio
solons would assemble (if Nebraska
should ever be so unfortunate as to
again allow them to guide the ship
of state) they would not try to make
the people believe they were all
Bryans or Allens, and that their
only mission was to be eternally
speechmaking. They would not
feel like paying for the privilege of
staying in Lincoln all winter to hear
themselves spout, but would transact
the necessary business and return
home. There is fame and fortune
awaiting the man who introduces a
bill of this kind.
SILVER! SILVER! SILVER!
Great heavens! Are we to be
compelled to listen fonr long years
to a constant thumping on that one
key on the piano—silver, silver, sil
ver? Is there no balm in Gilead
for the bruised and battered ear?
Is silver to be the Aaron’s rod of the
reform movement? Are we never
to hear anything frotn orator and
book writer except the continual
beating of the same strain in the
vain effort fo say something about
silver? *
1 Is silver the Alpha and Omega of
human life?
Can’t a belabored citizen be
allowed to toddle from the “big
. house” to the kitchen without being
r bombarded with books and speeches
i and pamphlets about silver? For
. mercy’s sake touch some other key
1 for a little while apd let the suffer
t ing nerves have peace. Give the
, other issues a chance. s
We don’t know how you feel,
comrade, but we are sick unto death
of seeing the people’s party swung
around by a handful of utterly sel
fish millionare silver mine owners.
It was a day of infinite woe to our
movement when we allowed a few
place hunters to place populism on
the shelf in the interest of silverism.
This scribe is glad to be able to
say he was not ashamed to talk pop
ulism and not afraid to expose the
insufficiency of silverism wherever
he went during the recent campaign.
Did it even in Nebraska and Color
ado, and was cheered while doing it

paper.
FOREIGN TRADE.
Some of the eastern free trade
joamals are wearing mourning over
the prospect of a gieat decrease of
“foreign trade” to be brought about
by the return to the principles of
protection as exemplified under the
rule of the last republics^ adminis
tration. But this is a rather amus
ing excuse for grief. Let us look
at the figures.
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1892, the last year of republican rule,
the total exports of domestic goods
and products was valued at $1,015,
732,011. The total of imports was
valued at $827,402,426. Total for
eign trade $1,843,134,473.
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1896, the last year of the democrat
ic administration, the total exports
were $863,200,487. Total imports
$770,724,647. Total foreign trade
$1,642,025,161. Falling off in for
eign trade $200,209,312. Decrease
about 12 per cent.
The total export of agricultural
products in 1892 was $799,993,343.
The total in 1896 was $571,899,845.
Falling off in agricultural exports
$228,093,498, a decrease of 30 per
cent.
The excess of agricultural exports
over agricultural imports in 1892
was $372,726,721. The excess in
1896 was $189,761,690. Falling off
of excess $182,954,031, or about 50
per cent. A little better protection
of our agricultural products will
possibly not come amiss.
And, by the way, it might not
be impertinent to suggest to Mr.
Bryan, who so loudly proclaimed
that the object of the tariff reform
that he advocated in the Wilson
congress, was to “increase our* for
eign trade” to explain why it didn’t
increase our foreign trade. He will
perhaps say it was the “crime of
’73,” but the crime of ’73 was get
ting in its nefarious work just as
efficiently in 1892 as in 1896 so far
as anybody can conjecture.
Mr. Bryan explained on every
Btump in the first district, when he
ran for oougress in 1892, that the
reason our farmers were suffering so
much was because of the McKinley
tariff, which prevented our European
bretheren from making enough
money out of us by the sale of their
manufactured goods, to enable them
to buy our agricultural products.
All of which looks quite ridiculous
in the light of these official figures.
And it is respectfully submitted
that a man who made such a huge
economical blunder in 1892 isn’t
entitled to the role of a prophet in
La Grippe
If you have had the Grippe,
you Know its aches and pains,
the fever, the chills, the cough,
the depression—you know
them alL The Grippe exhausts
the nervous system quickly,
lowers the vitality* Two
things should be done at once:
—the body must be strength
ened. and force must be given
to the nervous system. Cod
liver Oil will do the first: Hy
pophosphitcs the second. These
are permanently andpleasantly
combined in Scott's Emulsion.
It lifts the despondency and
heals the inflamed membranes
of the throat and lungs.
But you need not nave LA
GRIPPE.
. You can put your system in
a condition unfavorable to It.
You can have rich, red blood;
resistive strength; steady brain
and nerves. Scott's Emulsion
prevents as well as cures.
And whether you send or go
for Scott's Kwwilriwn, be sure
you get the genuine.

1896 and 1897. Nothing, so far,
has ever turned out as he said it
would, “on his honor and reputation
as a statesman.” It is not to be
wondered at perhaps, that Mr.
Bryan has most religiously excluded
from his book all intimations of his
glorious promise prophesies in 1890
and 1892. They would look quite
lame alongside his similar proph
esies in 1896. Bead in parallel
columns they would be great fun
for the boys.—State Journal.
Some person who was desirous of
creating a sensation wrote a sensa
tional article to the Sioux City Times
last week, having for its subject the
Barrett Scott tragedy. It was a
fake.
