This large appropriation was made
in consequence of a concealment of
the fact, since brought to light,
that a third of that amount would
have sufficed to do the work speci
fied in the enactment.
When the appropriation became
available the state board, instead of
using the money plainly and speci
fically designated by the legislature,
used it to build expensive and or
nate cottages" on the asylum
grounds, on which was lavished
with millionaire prodigality.
The work dragged and dragged
along, with the unfortunate wards
of the state crowded to suffocation
in the Lincoln asylum, and no effort
was made to exact or collect the
penalty for running over the con
tract time.
And now it is tardily disclosed
that these costly cottages, erected
in defiance of the law and complet
ed months after the time specified,
are absolutely useless, they are
without plumbing and sewerage
connections, and are totally desti
tute of electric wiring that would
make it possibe to light them.
They must stand idle for several
weeks longer while these defects
are remedied.
And yet there are republican or
gans that have the hardihood to
boast that Governor Mickey and
his associates are giving Nebraska
"a good business administration!"
It may be "good business" for
them, but it's mighty poor busi
ness for the people who pay taxes.

was a republican demand; Iowa
democrats had no voice in it. The
great reciprocity convention which
meets in Chicago Wednesdav of
the present week is as thoroughly
republican. It is not even a repub
lican granger movement. The call
for it did not come from farmers or
cattle raisers or cattle feeders, but
from cattle dealers, who demand
wider markets for the dressed and
salted meats turned out by the packing-houses.
They want better op
portunities for selling their products
in foreign markets in competition
with cheap meats of South Ameri
can ranges. They cannot sell to
advantage in countries whose pro
ducts are shutout from the Fnited
States by the prohibitive- tariff
iff wall, so they demand that reci
procity holes be knocked in the wall
through which trade can pass free-
lv both wavs.
Some of the railroads are, also,
in favor of reciprocity treaties for
the promotion of foreign trade be
cause they find that the commerce
destroying effect of the Difigk-y tar
has cut down their tonnage or
manufacturcd goods as well as of
meats and other farm products for
export. He-hind the meat packers
and the railroads are the masses of
western farmers and many manu
facturers whose products are con
fined to steadily narrowing foreign
markets through retaliatory tariffs
provoked by Dingleyism.
Reciprocity is an old republican
makeshift against the evils of re
publican prohibitive tariff. Its
first great apostle was Hlaine. Lat
ter McKinley preached it in the
republican wilderness, but his voice-
sounded only in empty air. Now
the disciples of Hlaine and McKin
ley are taking up arms to try con
clusions with the party hectics who
question the orthodoxy of a funda
mental article of the party's creed.
It is a very pretty fight as it stands,
and it promises to grow prettier the
longer it continues. The one thing
certain is that great producing in
terests are not going to submit for
long to be dwarfed by the dead hand
of Dingleyism, even if for a time
they did look to Dingleyism for pro
tection and growth.
Democrats will look approvingly
on at the efforts of the reciprocity
champions, and will gladly accept
all the expansion of American trade
that reciprocitv mav bring. Hut
they hope for still better things. I
tne advocates ot reciprocity are
ruled out as traitors to republican
policy and sat upon by stand-pat
republican bosses, their eyes may
be opened somewhat to the rea
merits of the old Jacksoniau policy
of tariff for revenue with incidental
protection. The former American
policy that was enforced in this
country until the republican party
went tariff-mad, looked to the suf
ficient protection of Ameriean in
dustries without conferring upon
the protective inerests an unlimited
power of taxation on the American
people. This is the only safe and
sane way; wide departures from it
lead inevitablv to violent reactions
