Holcomb and VVarden Leidigh injuring the state by standing guard over that $ioo, ooo penitentiary appropriation, from the fact that so many of the prisoners are idle. The republican gang would not wrong the state by taking 40 cents per capita for main taining the prisoners when it is now being done at half that figure? Ob, no! Let the board have some re gard for law and economy and as sist the proper authorities in the management of the penitentiary, instead of robbing the state. The warden has arrangements perfected whereby the available labor at the pen can be leased at higher figures than the Russell-Churchill combine is offering to lease it for. Not only that; the state now has a contract with one manufacturer at 45 cents per day for about thirty men. The combine has offered to make a new deal with this contractor.furnishing him men at 30 cents per day. This is done in hopes to induce this contractor to annul his con tract if possible and .thus deprive the warden of any funds from this source. The combine stands in the way of leasing the labor of the convicts and is thus robbing the state of $2,500 per montUor nearly. The governor and the warden are using every honorable means to protect the state; the combine is using every dishonorable means to do the reverse. This is the situa tion in a nut shell. False as Usual. It's a common remark, 'lf you see it in the Journal, it's a lie." This was fully verilied this week when that sheet came out with the so-called startling announcement that Fred Miller had paid James Kelley 81.000 to withdraw as the democratic candidate for sheriff. Citizen acquainted with these gentlemen will not question the following state ment as published in Thursday's Jour nal : 1, James Kelly, wit hdraw of my own accord for the reason that I realized that the chances of success were against me, and I could not a (l ord to expuul any money in what at the outset looked like a losing light. I have lived in Lincoln for eighteen years and I defy any man to hliow that I have ever an a private citizen or ollicer taken one cent in any corrupt transaction. And 1, Fied A.

Incidents and Graphic Pon Pictures of Some of the Senators Not all Plutocrats. Contrary to the belief, which is quite common among populists and which seems to be derived from reading social istic doctiue3 from irresponsible papers styling themselves populistic, the en tire body of the senate does not consist of plutocratic thieves and corporation sharks. There are in the senate some as good, honorable and patriotic men as have ever been known in that boly from revolutionary times down to the present. In the general convulsion and breaking up of parties, which will take place during this year in connection with, and preceding the coming presi dential election, these men will emerge from the furnace tested and tried and as bright as silver, with the refuse burned away so that all may see for themselves the qualities of which they are made. I have had rare opportunities during the past two years of observ ing for my self the course pursued by many of these senators and it has been an inter esting study, as all studies from active human life are, and much more so than studies from books. Durln the past year the congressional representatives of the the various po litical parties have been slowly disinte grating, evolving and dividing them selves from their own bodies politic, and the dissolving question has been the money question. In the school of eco nomics it is beginning to be scientifically understood that the money question represents the wefare of the people, physical, intellectual, moral and spiri tual. The money question then finally re solves itself into a question of, for the people or against the people; for the welfareof the uiany.or forthe welfareof the moneyed few, who, to use an ex pressive American phrase, want to "hog everything In sight." In enumerating and sightly sketch ing the senators who are likely to stand by the people when the final test conies at the presidential election of the com ing year, I will give the names only of the populists, who, it goes without say ing will be true, because they stood for principles rather than for oifice. These are Win. V. Allen of Nebraska, Kyle of South Dakota, William A. 1'effer of Kansas and Marion llutler of South Carolina. John P. Jones and William M. Stew art both of Nevada, left the republican party and joined the populists during the silver session when they found, as shown from repeated votes, that the re publican party, with Cleveland and Sherman as its leaders would bang on the skirts of the moneyed few, and stand up for the privileges of million aires, railroad corporations and monopo lies rather than for the people. John P.Jones has the head and calm peaceful face of a philospher, and is one in reality. He is nothing of a poli tician and concerns himself little about politics, hardly ever troubling himself to make a speech, but when he does speak, and it is usually on the principles regulating money, the whole senate pays turn the honor of clone and undivided attention even though the speech nit y occupy several hours of several consecu tive days.

He was the first senator during the silver session who gave pub lic voice to the almost universal indig nation ut the arbitrary acts of Cleveland toward the legislative department, and his shanieles use of patronage 111 orde to defeat or forward the passage of bills on the money question. Conventional senators who hardly dared call their souls their own, gasped at the audacity of the brave and fearless "Silver Knight as fiesloiid alone sound ing forth denunciations and charges against the president of the United States, The sight was worth seeing. Senator Stewart was born in Xew York in 1H27. He was in Vale College when, attracted by the gold discoveries in California, he went to San Francisco in I8o0. He tells with pride of how he engaged in mining with pick and shovel. I n 18H0 ho went to Nevada where he became interested in the development of the Coinstock lade. At the present time he has no financial interest in any silver mines, his heartfelt interest in silver being due to his interest in the welfare of the people in his state and of the people at large. His term of service expires in lS'.l. Henry M. Teller of Colorado aligned himself with what are now called the silver reputiicans of his party and dur ing the last two sessions became noted as the leader of that wing of his party, He Is a plain blunt man and apparently a man of the people, and has repeatedly declared, both in public and private, that when the time conies, if the republi can convention nominates a gold bug president, he will withdraw from that party and vote for any presidential candidate who is for free silver no mat ter by what party. It is such a foregone conclusion that the republican party will put up a gold bug nominee, that one only wonders why Teller does not leave his party now and fight it with all his might and main politically while there is still a chance to do something effective, rather than wait till the last moment. No one who ever heard Teller's im passioned appeals in the last two ses sious on behalf of the people can ever forget them, and one cannot help hav ing strong hopes of the man as a future leader of the people, when one recent bers how he stood up for the rights of the people in the very faces of the old leaders of his party, and how he charged the head of his own party, Sherman, with untruthfulness on the lloor of the senate. The only dissatisfaction that could be felt during his whole jonrse in the, last two sessions was when at the close .of the last session, he yielded to the; im portunities of his colleague Wolcott and voted for the resolution forth appoint ment of a $1,000,000 commission, by the president to attend an international con ference in Europe. Imagine Cleveland, the gold bug pre6i dent sending commissioners to attend an international conference if it was likelp to report favorably for silver! Wolcot gracefully waved his right as member of the commission m favor of Teller! Ahem, l.ut then one can't ex pect perfection in such a world as this I suppose. Senator Teller was born in New York in 18:t0; moved to Colorado in ISfil, and his present term of otliue expires in 1S97. He was lirst elected to the senate On Colorado's admission as a stateand was seeretaiy of the Interior under President Arthur's ud ministration. Kdward Oliver Wolcott, of Colorado, the colleague of Senator Teller is also a silver republican. Ha is a fiery and en thusiastic speaker and he did declare 111 the last M'ssioi. that he would devote his life to the service of silver, but -alas! must there always boa "but"? he is so plutocratic l oth, by instinct and association to his linger tips, that nheu tno test cninex mm doutiU ai to what his coium will be, whether for the people or against theui.

Among those who will stand true, we will class Joseph C. S. iilackburn of Kentucky, that Fiery southernor who has just been distinguishing himself in the eyes of the nation, by the heroic and single hand to hand fight with the leaders of his own party in his statu for the rights of the people. Whether suc cessful or not, he has won the admira tion and esteem of all lovers of liberty. Senator Ulackburn was born in Ken tucky in 1S:IS; served several terms in the house before his election in the sen ate and Lis present term expires March 3, 1V.I7. Another whose instinct will lead him to stand by ' the people when the iinal test comes, is that "grandest Koman of them all" John T. Morgan of Ala bama. He has a worldwide repute as a statesman and his attention has been directed mostly to international ques tions, having several times been selected as delegate to represent the United States when questions of international import arose in Europe. His vote was ever on tne side of the people whenever the money question was up for discus sion, and the legal points he nudi as to rights of silver to free coinage equally with gold made a decided impression on the whole senate which is composed almost entirely of lawyers. Tne most decided hit made by any one during the session and which created laghter where ever it was mentioned, was made in what is called his "cuckoo speech," in which, alluding to the subservient obedience of the gold bug republicans and democrats to Cleveland's com mands, he said, "The trumpet had sounded, the forces were marshalled, the clock had struck at the White House, and the cuckoos here ail put their heads out of the boxes and responded to in-., form us of the lime of day." Senator Morgan was born in Tennes see inlH21; moved to Alabama when nine years old, has served live terms in the senate, has just been re elected and his terra of service will expire in 1901. liRKUtT Eyks.
