Ex-1'resldent Cleveland will visit

s Henry Waterson appears to think
( that Inasmuch as Cleveland and Bryan
both exist, trouble Is Inevitable and

None of the democratic candidates
mentioned for president appear to
suit Bryan. Is he going to bolt, or do
you suppose lie is a candidate himself.

| The syndicate editorial writers
| who weekly dish up the political hash
I for the Independent readers raised a
I great furore because Representative
I Coats voted against House Roll No.
| 330, otherwise known as the Omaha
I Terminal bill. Last Thursday, when
| the revenue bill was up for discussion,
\ Ten Eyck, of Douglas, offered an
| amendment to the bill embodying
l the principal of House No. 330, and
f called for an aye and nay vote. On
I tlie amendment Representative War
| ing joined with Coats and voted
against the amendment.
In commenting upon Mr. Waring’s
j "complete somersault,” as the World
[ Herald termed It, that paper says:
■ "Mr. Waring’s vote was particularly
f unfortunate because when he flopped
wyfong his republican colleague flopped
right.” In a letter to the editor Mr.
Coates says he wants it distinctly
understood that he did not "flop” at
' all and would not think of voting for
a measure so adverse to the interests
•of western Nebraska, as House Roll
1 No. 330.
The Frontier admires Mr. Coats for
! his stand in the matter. He thor
■ oughly investigated the measure and
j becoming convinced that it was a bill
j calculated to benefit only the larger
| cities of the state rightly voted
> against it.
In his vote against the amendment,
Mr. Waring disclosed his freedom of
thought and proved himself man
2 enough to vote his convictions regard
less of the party lash clapped upon
Ehtm. Attorney llarringto n , the
leader of populism in Nebraska, was
in Lincoln during the discussion of
: the bill and called a caucus of the fu
, sion members to line them up in
: favor of the measure so that it could
: be used for political effect in the next
■ campaign, and succeeded in getting
i most of them in line.
| The Independent censured Repre
j sentative Coats, republican, for his
| vote on the bill, will it also censure
r Representative Waring, fusionist?
We patiently await theffr verdict.

Legislative News.
Lincoln, March 23,
The feature of session last week was
the passage of the new revenue bill in
the House. The final discussion of
the measure was warm and protract
ed, brought on mostly by those who
desired to inject important amend
ments. The efforts to seriously amend
the bill failed, however, and it went
on its final passage Friday. The re
sult was 70 to 21 in favor of the bill.
All but two of those voting against
the measure were fusionists, driven
into line against it by the party whip.
In this they were simply following
the program announced at the com
mencement of the session that they
“must oppose all important legislation
advanced by the republican party.”
Those who have studied the new
bill, as it now appears and as it un
doubtedly will be accepted by the sen
ate, declare that It will put the fin
ances of tile state on a proper basis,
without additional burden on those
who are already properly listing their
property with the assessors. It is
believed that enough hidden property
will be brought to light, and better
methods of collection will be enforced,
to make up the deficit now yearly ex
perienced by the state. It is known
at this time that Govenor Mickey has
carefully read and thoroughly approves
of the measure and that had not the
legislature taken hold, he would have
called an extra session to have the
work done.
Next in public interest to the
revenue bill has been the passage of
the Ramsey elevator bill in the House.
It went on Its final passage on Friday
and received the unanimous vote of
the body. On the same afternoon, in
company with the revenue bill, it was
given the first reading in the Senate,
and the second reading on Saturday,
so that without doubt before the end
of tliis week it will be sent to the gov
ernor. It is noticed that fusion papers
are attacking this bill, because it was
introduced by a republican, showing
that their clamor against the “eleva
tor trust” was again a scheme to
manufacture political thunder.
The bill to more clearly define poli
tical lines in primary elections passed
both houses by practically unanimous
vote, and has been sent to the gover
nor. It lias aroused the ire of that
class of politicians in Omaha and
Lincoln who make it a practice to run
in voters of all parties to control
primaries, and the governor is asked
by them to at least veto the emer
gency clause, so that the law cannot
be applied to the coming city prim
aries in Omaha. The feature they ob
ject to in the bill is that which re
quires the voters, when challenged,
to swear that he has “generally” voted
for the party which is holding the
primaries. Republicans who support
their party ticket fail to see where
such a requirement in the law would
injure anyone except political shysters
The movement in the House to im
mediately take up and consider the
appropriation bills is one of much im
portance to the state, as it insures
careful consideration of these measures
before the rush of the closing days
comes. It is a new and much-needed
change in methods in Nebraska legis
lative practice, and will be watched
with much interest. Heretofore the
practice has been to take up private
bills, and “logrolling” schemes first,
shoving off the appropriatian bills
until the last, to the utter demorali
zation of business during the last few
days. The old plan was one much
taken advantage of by those who had
doubtful claims further, or who were
looking for large grabs from the
treasury for favored localities. This
year with the appropriation bills out
of the way in good time the opportuni
ties for “grabbing” will be limited.
It is noticeable this session that
the members of the legislature and
the rank and tile of the party
have no patience with the many time
dishonored schemes to ignore the
statutes and raid the treasury. This
has again been shown in the general
protest against the plan of two or
three of the members to load down
tha pay rolls of the House with the
useless and illegal employes. The
prompt action of the state auditor
when the matter was called to his at
tention led to an immediate discharge
of some of those who had been secret
ly added to the pay roll, and there is
some amusement in the House over
the efforts of the responsible parties
to “explain.”

Severe Attack Of Grip
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy.
“When 1 had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) I actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy,” says Frank
W. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsvllle, N. Y. “This is the hon
est truth. I at times kept from cough
ing myself to pieces by taking a tea
spoonful of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night
I would take a dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and I would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac
companying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as a most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. I had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because I had
never tried it for such a purpose, but
it did, and it seemed witli the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not onla be of less duration, hut
the pains were far less severe, and I
had not used the contents of one bot
tle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.”

Danger of Colds and GriD.
The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain’s Cougli Remedy
taken, all danger will avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. It will cure a cold or an.at
tack of the grip in less time than any
other treatment. It is pleasant and
safe to toke For sale by P. Cj Corri
