TI10 petition ask ing that Moshor bo lot olf wit h a line, which was Industriously circulated last week, stirred up a great ninny poo plo and for Homo days protests against such a course havo noon forwarded to Washington by ntiarly ovory mail. A Lincoln at tornoy t Ids week oamo across 11 decision in thooTth Federal Reporter in a caso from tho United States couit of Chicago, which it. is thought may havo an important bearing on tho situ ation in Lincoln. Hero an innocent bank president swore to tho published .statements of tho bank, which after wards proved to bo "doctored" by a dishonest employe, and although ins entire innocence was shown, ho was hold responsible. The attention of District Attorney Baker was promptly called to this caso, witli tho suggos tion that he should "do his duty," whloh probably meant the commence ment of proceeding against other ofll eer.s of tho bank. The proceedings in tho impeachment caso this week wore of the same peace ful character as before. On more than one occasion vistors found it very easy to fall asleep, and lately it lias been necessary for tho olllcers of tho court to go around and wako people up at the close-if tho daily sessions. Hots are fre comoof irered that nothing will asi. and tho politicians are spooulat bio political effect of Much ol philnn- tliropic an .t lint is done is p does not como to trnv 011 reo oral public. Tor tn years, and own lot? of gentlemen in this oif a on- gaged in an elfort to iil Coupon- dition of tho corvlcts iiC itentiary and effect various rotorm measures. Tho Chautauqua system of mental improvement has boon intro duced in the prison with groat success; through personal activity a number of convicts on tho expiration of their terms havo boon provided witli em ployment in tliis city and elsewhere, and numerous reformatory mothods have been instituted but what lias been accomplished lias- been achieved by individual effort, rather than by an organized system. It is now proposed to secure more important results by a regularly constituted organization. There has just been developed in this city tho Nebraska Prison Reform Association, composed in part of those persons who havo in the past boon in torested in tho reform work at tho penitentiary. Tho following were elected otllcers: President. T. II. Lenv itt; vice-president, W. K. Hardy; sec retary, Professor F. M. Fling; treasurer, Harry 11. Hicks; local committee, F. II. Alnsworth, chainian; 11. L. Paine, M. 1)., F. Fling, L. G. Rhodes M. I)., Rev. P. W. Howe, C. I). Urillln, Miss Kingman; press committee, W. Morton Smith, chairman; W. O. Jones, Mr. Mil ler; lecture committee, Professor Law reuco Fossler, chairman; 11. II. Hicks, F. II. Alnsworth, Mr. Miller, Hurt Richards. Auxiliary associations will bo formed in different parts of tho state. HH It is felt that not much can bo ac complished as long as the contract la bor system obtains, and tho immediate work of the association will bo along the lino of an effort to abolish this sys tem, which it is said is not only objec tionable on general principles, but is unnecessarily expensive. In the re formatory at Flinira, Now York, the cost per year Is $'20 for each convict, while it is claimed that the average cost at the penitentiary in this state is 81 IS, In FJinirn tho prisoners are classified according to conduct and re leased 011 parole at t lie expiration of a certain time, and various reforma tory methods are practiced. To a great extent these method are applicable to the Nebraska institution. The Nebraska State band, the state's most pretentious musical organization, will make its first public appearance this altornoon when it will bo in evi dence down town for a short time. To morrow afternoon at Lincoln park the initial concert of the season will lie given. The concert will begin at Ui.'iO and continue till .":.'!0. Commencing not Saturday Tin: Criiii:n will begin the publication of "A Nymphof the West" by Howard See ley, 11 new novel of great strength. The sconce is laid in Texas, and tho story is of surpassing interest. Council readers should not miss the opening chapters next week. Tho real estate agents and landlords of the city have organized a protect io association. it might bo equally ap iiropriato for the people who rent houses to organize also. Occasionally a landlord may suffer; but 111 tho long run the tenant hasn't auv the best of it. Did you ever stop to think of the amount of money carried out of town II by circuses and theatrical companies? There were from l'(XM to 15,000 poi sons present at the two performances 01 uio lungling Hros. circus this weok, and the total receipts were in the neighborhood of $li,OtX, certainly not any less than this (Inure, mid very little of the money was left in Lincoln. .. Tho success of the Sundown club of Omaha has attracted considerable at tontlon in tills city, and there has re cently been some talk of an attempt to stronghton the organization of tho loung .Mens Hopublioan club and ex 1 I ii. !...!

The Young Men's Republican club is a permanent organization witli an 011- I rollinent of members exceeding UK). At present t lie club is without regular headquarters, and it is felt that some thing should bo done to weld t lie mem bers together ami secure a compact organization that can be relied upon as a definite working force in the spring and fall campaigns. It is proposed to accomplish this purpose by a monthly banquet at one of the leading hotels, with ten ininiitouddrossesby the noted public men and republicaus'of this and other states. Tho Huh membership is so largo that the individual cost would bo small, and there seems to be no reason why t he plan should not succt ed admirably. One can already imagine a gathering of lot) or U(X) enthusiast ic young republicans with their chairs tilted back, after a satisfactory repast, listening to tho winged words of Ike Lansing who is one of the happiest speakers in tho west in the oniniou of John M. Thurston and a large section of tho public, or tho dry humor and forceful utterances of Hx-Assistaut Secretary of tho Treasury. (!. M. Lam borlson. A meeting of tho club was hold last uight in the Capital Hotel and the plan to rivivify interest in the organi zation was fully discussed Further par ticulars will be announced in a few days. Tho city of Lincoln, according toTm: CouiUKit, has a councilman serving his second term who, it is alleged, has never lias boon naturalized. His name is O'Sheo, and ho claims that lie be came a citizen when his father was nat uralized in Dos Moines, in 1870. Par ties interested, however, deny that Mr. O'Slioo, senior, was ever naturalized in Dos Moines or in any other town or city in tho United States. Saturday Review, Des Moines. The Crete Chautauqua assembly owes much of its success to tho efforts of Lincoln people who have spout a great deal of time and money 111 ad vancing its interests. This year, W. F.
