What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, nnd to pet up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realised. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

EditouJoi-unai.: The new revennelaw.that is causing lug so much fear and apprehension, Is not altogether a had law. An act of Its magnitude and importance is sure to have some good feature. For exam ample, it requires the listing of all dogs owned or harbored. I can ap prove of this feature of the act. I f I had my way I would have all prop erty exempt from taxation.cxceptdogs. Thus far I would favor the single tax theory. This law, it Is claimed, will uncover and cause property to be listed that has never been taxed before. For Instance, if you have a little coal or wood left over from your winter's sup ply, it is required to be listed. If you fail to "uncover" such coal or wood, or neglect to account for your dogs and give their value, your face isturned to ward a prison cell, or you are liable to a tine. Let us pray that the time may speed ily conic when legislators who make such laws, and who make appropria tions and disregard the constitution of the state and thus violate their oaths, may he punished as common taxpayers. The citizen must pay a tax on every ar ticle or item of property, and why this exactness to squeeze the hard-earned money from the people? The last leg islature appropriated in theaggrcgraie $:t,(i(K),000, and we presume the taxpay ers must put it up. You see the cause goes before the effect. At the meeting of the legislature every two years thc-meinbers have no regard for the constitution or the laws. The fundamental law Is violated with Impunity by our (miss) representa tives. Now for example: The consti tution fixes the salary of all state oill- cers, and it provides that they must nave an omce at Lincoln ana reside in that city during their term of olllce. The governor is allowed $2,500 per year, and no more. When Crounse became governor the legislature appropriated money to pay nis rent, wincii was ve toed by Governor Giounse on the ground that such appropriation was unconstitutional, and stated that he was not entitled to a dollar more than $2,5oo. Nevertheless, a few years ago the legislature bought from D. K. Thomson, at a cost of $i0,ooo, a resi dence in Lincoln now called the "Gov ernor's Mansion," and the governor now resides therein. According to ap propriations made it costs over $1,200 per year to keep this "mansion" in shape. Every state olllcer Is as much entitled to have his place of residence lurnisucn uy tne state, as far as the constitution Is concerned, as the gov ernor. Yes, according to the provis ions of the state constitution, the Mayor of Lincoln, and In fact anyone, Is as much entitled to such distinction. at the expense of the state, as the gov ernor thereof. According to the con stitution, he is the executive oftlecrof the state and should sec all laws enforc ed. He should have the mansion sold, and the proceeds used to pay off the indebtedness of the state as far as It will go, and thereby stop any Illegal drain upon the taxpayers. Remember this "Governor's Man sion" matter is merely one example. Time and space will not permit of more specllic Illegal acts to he mentioned, liut there are others. It might tieol) served In this connection that Gover nor Crounso was not renominated to the olllce of governor, which position he so ably tilled for two vears. The "grafters" could not use lilm In their business. Rut "Standard Oil Mickey" must have another term. It will he remembered that the rev enue law was conceived and lobbied to tinal passage by those A lio wanted an propriatlons, and contractors who were walling to get a Job from the state. The promoters of this new revenue scheme are endeavoring to raise values in cities and on farm property, but what the taxpayer wants is a true valuation. However t w nrQbably not boont real estate values In l'lattsmoutli, for wldie farm prop 'ei ty has advanced 50 per cent., the real estate In the city is about the same as n was four or tive vears ago. Economy and the strict observance of the laws should Ik urged in public af fairs and this can be accomplished only by a strict compliance with the con st Itut ion. The acts of the legislature making unlawful appropriations, as that of Hie unlawful purchase of the Thompson mansion, arc really void, and a tax to pay for the same is really taking property without due process of law. 1 1) some places otllctals do not live long after they have violated the constitution. It Is Inconsistent, to say uie least, ror oiliclals to expect the people to strictly obey the laws when mv are guilty or the most llagrant v miai ions or the prov s on of I tin con st it ut Ion of our state and the laws of tne land.

Judge Raul Jessen convened t tie ad-(- ,'rned March term of theCasscounty district court here la.st Monday, and handed dow n his decision in the mat ter wherein Sig 1'olk got possession of the property tif the late Ernest Kupke, deceased. It will be remembered that the Journal last fall brought this mat ter prominently before the people, and how It was accomplished, etc. It will also be remembered that at that time friends of the accused tried to defend his action by saying that It was simply gotten up for political pur poses. And later when the case came up in the district court, one or the at torneys for the defendant had the au d.tcity to state in open court that it was hatched fur political purposes. Now, after several weeks of thorough investigation of the matter, Judge J esse o (a republican) says that Mr. Polk must restore to the Kupke heirs all the property he (si slickly) got from them amounting toabout $21,000, the defendant to receive back the $4,000 he paid them Tor the $21,000, and an attorney fee of 2,500 for services In settling the estate. Now, this $2,500 may possibly have been earned by Folk and It may be right that lie should have this amount, but we seri ously doubt it. itut, let this be as It may, the judge's decision in the mat ter truthrully verities every statement made In the Journal on the very eve of the election, and was not "a cam paign lie," and that the Journal "did not lie faster than the News could tell the truth," as that sheet would have It during the campaign. Ctizens' Mass Meeting. The court room last night was well till ed withcltlzcnsof Riattsmouth, in re sponse to a call for a meeting of all who favor a just and equitable assessment, as construed in the revenue law. W. V. Coates was made chairman, and af ter speeches from different ones in re gard to the matter, the chairman was nstructed to appoint a committee of six to confer w ith the county assessor with a view of having himcomply with the law and secure an equal assessment of everything named in said revenue law. The following gentlemen CJm pose the committee: Mayor Henry 11. Gering, John M. Leyda, W. J. Streight, V. Leonard, ex-Mayor F. J. Morgan and Fred Egenberger. After the meet ing adjourned, two republicans were conversing at the foot of the court house steps. One asked the other 'what he thought of the move ment?" "Oil," replied the disciple of Hlackstonc, insignificantly, "it is sim ply a democratic movement." "Well," said the other, "democratic or other wise, it's a good move just the same, and I am in it." The disciple, in his reply, displayed the shallowness and prejudice of a vissionary brain. ft Cure For Headache. Any man, woman or child suffering from headache, bill lousness or a dull, drowsy feeling should take one or two of DeWitt's Little Early Risers night and morning. These famous little pills arc famous because they are a tonic as well as a pill. While they cleanse the system they strengthen and rebuild it by their tonic effect upon the liver and bowels. Sold by F. G. Frickc & Co. A disordered stomach may cause no end of trouble. When the stomach fails to perform Its functions the bowels become deranged, the liverand kidneys congested, causing numerous diseases, the most fatal of which are painless and therefore the more to be dreaded. The Important thing is to restore the stomach and liver to a healthy condition, and for this pur pose no better preparation can be used than Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
