On motion of Clark of Lancaster it was ordered that the flag be swung over representative hall during the session. A committee was appainted to notify the seuate that the house was ready lor business. A motion by Sheldon for the appoint ment of committee on supplies led to a sharp discussion between feheluon and Jenkins, anil the chair ruled the motion out of order pending the canvass of the vote. The name of the sergeant-at-arms is L. A.. Beltzer of Polk, mistakenly printed as Webb 'yesterday, Thursday Morning in the House. The brevity ofChaplaiu Mailley's invo cation in the house this morning expe diated matters somewhat, and after the roll call the readiug of the journal of the two days proceedings consumed consid erable time. During its reading Secre tary Schwind of theienat- was heral ded to announce that the senate was orga nized and ready for the iransactipn of business. A mo ion by Sheldon to dis pense with the further reading met with objection froia Jenkins, and when the chair suggested that the first day 's journal ought to be read the motion was withdrawn. Jenkins moved on behalf of the repub lican members that the speaker be al lowed a private clerk and page. The motion prevailed, the vote on both sides being decidedly weak. ' On motion of Wooster of Merrick the chair was authorized to appoint a com mittee of three to act with a like com mittee from the senate to notify the governor that the legislature was ready to receive any communication from him. The chair appointed Messrs. Jenkins, Loomis and Rich. Clark of Lancaster moved a committee of three to arrange for a joint session to canvass the vote. It orevailed and the chair appointed Wooster of Merrick, Clark of Lancaster and Clark of Richurd Bon. A number of motions relative to sup plies and employes were declared out of order until the vote had been canvassed. The speaker announced the following additional list of employes he had ap pointed: Third Assistant Clerk A. J.Webb pf Douglas. Enrolling Clerk Charles Wallace of Dawson. Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms James Noe of Dodge. Second Engrossing Clerk Charles F. Yost of Buffalo. Custodian, House Albert Berry of Wayne. Timekeeper E. W.Crane of Lancaster. Night Watchman W. F.

Fourth Janitor T. Harrington of Douglas. Custodian of the Water Closet M. Mc Gee of Sarpy. Of the above Wallace, Yost. Crane and Hockler are populists aud the rest are democrats. The secretary of the senate appeared and announced that the seuate commit tee had been appointed to arrange for the joint session. An in vitatition to attend the reception in the senate chamber this evening was accepted by the house. Representative Prince of Madison comity appeared and was sworn in. Representative Jenkins reported that the governor would appear before the lions at 2 o'clock. After a delay of nearly half an hour the committee to arrange for a joint session reported that the joint commit tee had fixed it for 1 p. m., and the house adjourned to that hour. In the Senate. In the seuate this morning, the pre liminaries over, the house committee an nounced that the house was ready for business. lie journal was read and Senator Mnffly took the oath of olfice. Adjutant General Larry's invitation' to the executive reception was accepted. On motion of Senator Beal a commit tee was chosen to arrange for the joint session. Senators Deering, McGann, Osborn, Feltz, (iraham, Mutz and Ransom were made a committee to select the standing committees of the senate. A committee was chosen to notify the governor that the legislature was ready to hear from him. A motion of Senator Talbot that the stars and strips be floated during the sessions met with no opposition. Senator Gondring offered a resolution asking for an inventory of supplies and uroperty of the state. It was adopted. Senator Sykes of Adams submitted a resolution directing the sesretary to furnish the press type-written copies of resolutions and other important docu ments. There were objections and the resolution went over. The senate then adjourned until 1 p. m. to meet in joint session. In Joint Session, The two houses met at 1 p. m. to can vass the vote of state officers and hear the governor's message, which will con sume the entire afternoon. Thursday Afternoon in the House. In the house yesterday afternoon at the close of the joint session then was a scramble to see which party should ob tain the chairmanship of the committee on supplies. Pollard of Cass, republican, was the first to submit a motion for a Committee on supplies. Sheldon, popu list, moved that in addition to finding what supplies are necessary the commit ti"e should investigate and report what had become of the supplies leftover from last session. After being amended to include stationery and incidentals the motion prevailed. Grandstaff of Webster wanted the chief clerk allowed a messenger, two stenog raphers and a custodian of his rooms, but on a point of order by Crow the chair ruled that all employes must be appointed by the speaker. In the senate after the joint session Senator Ransom, who presided, named Senators Beal, Caldwell aud Osborn to escort Lieutenant Governor Harris to the chair. N. Kelly was appointed sten f "rapher to the secretary of the senate on motion of Senator Grothan, aud on "motion of Senator Howell the new lieu tenant governor was empowered to appoint for himself a clerk, a custodian of his rooms and a page. Upon taking his seat the new lieuten ant governor, James E. Harris, ad dressed the senate as foilows: "Gentlemen of the Senate: Should I follow my predecessors, I would assume the duties imposed by the constitution as presidents of this honorable body without a word of greeting. The wisest of Israel's kings tells us that 'A word htly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.' Silence may be goldeu but the silver setting is Solomon's con ception of words fitly spoken. "The task upon the twenty-fifth session of the Nebraska legislature is no light one. To undo what may have been done amiss, is a duty no less impettant than to perform a du,y yet uudone. A legal act that adds burdeus instead of blessings should be repealed. To be eco nomical, and yet not parsimonious in expenditures, to be just, honorable and honest with each and every interest in volved in matters of legislation is the demand made by the people of Ne braska of their public servnntsentrusted with the duties of legislation. "My duty and your duty are recipro cal. It shall be my purpose to grant equal recognition aud equal privileges to each senator composing this honor able body. "To be just rather than generous, im partial, firm and courteous is my con ception of the duties imposed upon your presiding officers. For them 1 invoke that sweet charity that suffereth long and is kind, envieth not, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her" own, is UOteaKily provoked, thinketh no evil; which, as a mantle, covers all errors. 1 await the duties aud pleasure of the sen ate." Friday Morning in the House. It was 10:45 when the speaker rapped for order: The members h ad been cau cusing to complete the list of appoint ment which was the cause of the delay. Roli call showed ninety-nine members present. During the reuding of the journal the speaker called Clark of Richardson to the chair. Hull of Harlan moved that when the house adjourned it be until Monday at lp.m. The chair put the motion and declared it carried without cubing for the negative vote, Gaylord ..thought he v ould like to hear the negative vote, but wneu the chair corrected his error there whs none to hear. Jones of Gage seut up a resolution for the printing of not to exceed f)00 copies of the governor's message. On the viva-voce vote the affirmatives failed to vote, while there was a chorus of noes. Chairman Clark hesitated and intimated that it would take a roll call to convince him. A deiscion was called for. Sheldon undertook to suy that he didn't think a roll call necessary, but Jenkins iuterposed a point of order that a motion was not debateable after the roll call was ordered. On the call of the roll Ihe resolution failed by a vote of 33 to 02. Snyder of Slier nan explained that he opposed the expenditure, hut voted aye as a compli ment to the governor. Billings moved that each member of the house be lurnished with two copies of the messuge. There was no second. Webb of Custer moved the appoint ment of a committee of three to net with a like committee of the senate to formu late joint rules for (he house and senate. Clurk of Lancaster I would like to know what we want joint rules for. Are weto have any more joint sessions? Bui kett of Lnnciister thought there was a necessity for joint rules. I he mo tion prevailed. Speaker Gtitfiu, who had assumed thr chair, requested every member to send upon a slip of paper his first, second and third choice ol committees upon which he wished to work, saying thut this would so expedite his work that he felt positive it will enable him to submit his list of committees to the house on Monday. The speaker also stated that some Criticism had been heard because the flag had not floated over the house during the session, and he felt it incunibentupon him to say that it was throuuh no fault of the janitor, as he was informed by the secretary of state that the flag had gone off in the winds or somewhere else. Robertson directed ut tent on to tb fact that at the close of the lat session the flog had been voted to the Milford home. Smith of Douglas moved that a new one be procured. Burkett of Lancaster suggested that the motion was unnecessary, as thestnt ute makes it the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to procure a flag," hut the speaker suggrsted that the only way for him to procure it would be to pay for t himself. J Eager of Seward moved that the cost be l'TPit?d to $25. j --Roddy of Otoe resented th limitation as not duly respectful to the flag. i The amendment was lost, and Hip mo- tion prevailed. The speaker called attention to the necessity for cuspidors,as he had noticed that the carpet was being ruined in several places. 1 Pollard wanted to know if th cha r had not been empowered to appoint a committee on supplies, and intimated a desire to know why if had not been done, which the chair declined to gratify, and pending the discussion the house ad journed to Monday afternoon. Before adjournment the speaker an nounced the following additional list of employes selected by the democratic and populist committees: Fourth assistant clerk, G. W. Phelps of Platte.

A motion to adjourn until Tuesday (d to a lively controversy, the minority and a part of the majority cowwng to neteat it to economize time. On onr ot the motions Grother created some consternation by demanding a call of the house, but when interrogated be disclosed that he meant only a roll call. An effort a ade to require the com mittee on election of standing com mittees to report immediately upon the reconvening of the senate, out it was ruled out of order.

JACKSON DAY AT OMAHA Distinguished Nebraska Democrats Who Were Not Crushed by the State Returns. Renewed Their I'ledge to Bryan. The banquet of the Jacksonian club at the Paxton hotel last evening was at tended by some fifty democrats from Lincolu. It was an event memorable in democratic annals, and was not percept ibly less enjoyable because many well known faces that have graced its board in former years were abseut, and the toasts drank to them were not soured by and poignant regrets. Dr. Hippie, president of the club, pre sided, and iutroducing Mr. Bryun said: "Since we last assembled upon an oc casion of this kind the country has passed through one of the greatest struggles in its history a struggle that Involved the happiness aud prosperity of 70,000,000 of American people. I am particularly proud of the fact that we have the hero of that struggle with us this evening. He was not successful in the conflict, but, he was none the lesslts hero. Imbued with the spirit of true de mocracy and strengthened, as I belitve, by power from on high, he dared, like Old Hickory,' to bid defiance to the power of aggrandized wealth, aud his name will go down in history side by side with that of our patron saint Audrew Jackson. And what a ; conflict it was in which he engaged! His enemies were less genorons than the enemies of Grant; they were less human than the enemies of Napoleon; they were less scrupulous than the enemies of Washing ton, but throughout that entire conflict he maintained his temper unruffled, his dignity uncompromised aud his honor unsullied. I reckon him greater than any man That ever drew sword in war; I reckon him nobler than king or khan, Braver and better by far." Mr. Bryan's Speech. "I congratulate those who believe in the principles of Jackson, ior in spite of what appeared to be an overwhelming defeat, those who believe in those prin ciples are meeting in greaterjnumbers to day and are manifesting more enthusi asm than on any Jackson day for many years. What is a significant fact is that though in the campaign we lost many who used to be with us, more people are tonight celebrating the achievements of Andrew Jackson than ever before in re cent years. Why is it? It is because the democratic party stands for something now and appeals to the hearts of the Ameritan people. (Applause.) It is not hard now to teil the difference between democracy as declared by the majority of the democrtic party and republican ism as declared by the majority of the republican party. I am glad tonight that every ciinir left vacant by one who was a democrat, but now a republican, is filled by one who was a republican or who is a populist. (Applause.) "The campaign was of service to us in that it fins set up standards and has given us something to contned for. In former campaigns we fought over princi ples. We lost some of our party in this campaign who will come back. Some voted against us because they misunder stood our principles. Some because they were so situated in business that they were coinpelM to listen to advice as to how they should vote that was of the nature of command, and voted against us rather than have their stores or their notes drawn in. People who told us that all we had to do was to maintain the gold standard have now four yesis to . find out that their Prosper ity depends more upon the people to whom they sell than upon those from whom they borrow money. Many of those who when they quit work on the Saturday night before election and were told to come buck if McKinley was elected, and to stay away if he was not, are finding now that they were to come back only for a short time, and those who were led to believe that the free coinage of silver meant dishonest money and that bimetallism was a step backward in civilization have been awe stricken in finding that a man has been sent abroad in order to get help for us to tro back to barbarism. (Tremendous and long continued applause und laughter.) "We fought a good fight and in look ing back we cannot see how we could have made better use of the conditions j as we found them. We entered it after a struggle, the greatest the party had ever j had within itself since l8t0. Hefound that when we wrote a platform that meant something, we had to go into many of the states and reorganize. We bad to throw overboard many men who had been fed by the democracy and to put into positions of leadership many not accustomed to political warfare, and yet those, with the free silver republi cans and populists, carried on a fight with the best means at their command, and we cannot point to a blunder made by any of the committees. We are de feated after a contest which we are more proud of in our defeat than the republi cans are in their victory. (Applause.) "Andrew Jackson was dear to the people of his time because he stood for the same principles that you are stand ing for now. He stood by the cause of the people. When gold standard demo crats meet to celebrate this day I won i.er why they do not celebrat the birth day of Nicholas BicWIe, the president of the bank which Jackson overthrew. (Applause.) "I am proud of our success in Ne braska. 1 am so proud of it that I have not had time to mourn over our defeat in the nation. Our principles have won here because our people have had time to study the financial question, and I believe that when the people of the na tion have had as long a time to study it we will win in the national contest, (Applause.) It was in our state that the goldbug democrats first nominated a ticket of their own aud theu voted the republican ticket. It was in our state that fusion was first effected. We have merely been through the sweat a little earlier than some of the other states. But our success has brought a great responsibility. While we cannot change the national policy for four years or the congressional policy for two, it is for us in Nebraska to pass laws that will be for the good of the people and so make it easier for us in the national conflict on account of the victory we have won here. "It is time for us to say by statute that corporations shall not enter into politices or give financial aid to any politicl party. In the last campaign many banks contributed thousands of dollars and justified their action on the grouud that they were protecting their depositors, but you can never tell until a bank fails whether the money has been taken from the deposits or from the bank. "If Nebraska takes the lead others will follow, and it will be the first step in ridding the country of corporation domination. Another thing that we should do is to require that a tax shall be levied on a bank for its deposits to create a fund to protect depositors from loss generally. We cannot reach the national banks, but we can apply the principle to the state banks aud then the national bauks will have to follow or abide by the consequences. ."If we who have won in this state use our -best endeavors to pass laws for the good of the people of the state our success here will be permanent and the people will trust us with power as long as we show that we deserve to be trusted." (Applause.) Chairman Maitahan Sneaks. James Manahan of this city responded to the toast, "National Democracy," his remarks being in substance as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: We are told that iu the army led to defeat against Audrew Jackson there was, be sides the veterans of England, a com pany of American tories. Ah a reminder of this, we toast tonight the so-called 'national democracy.' Uuder ancient dispensation such a toast would be drunk in silence. It would, perhaps, be charitable if the 'national democracy' were permitted to pass into oblivian without comment. But its rise and fall was so intimately connected with great eveuts that the future historian will, be obliged to recognizo it by a foot note at the bottom of the page telling of the campaign of 189(5. "That foot note will inform the student that early in the campaign the money princes became alarmed at the sentiment aroused among the people by the great leader from the west. To divert that sentiment this new party was brought into being. Government officials, cor poration attorneys, national bankers aud disappointed politicians of the old party were gathered together at in dianapolis. They were praised by their employers; they were soothed and pat ted upon the back by his excellency at Washington and by him were dubbed with the title of respectability. Ihey associated with the virtuous statesman from Kentucky and in due time the 'national democrat' came forth. Its leaders were men of ability, familiar with every strong position upon the political battle ground, and therefore of great service iu Mr. Manna's candidacy, not on account of the following they con trolled, for that was insignificant, but on account of the valuable information at their disposal. These men had received much houor at the hands of the democratic party. They stood high iu its councils and were in command of its most important positions. What, then, shall be said ol their conduct on the eve of battle, and what will be said of the part they took when the contest wason? "When Benedict Arnold went down the river to sell his countrymen he was decent enough to leave his commission behind him, but when these old leaders went to Indianapolis they tried to hug their old honors to their breasts, and bear their old titles while they muffled beneath their mantles daggers with which to stub the very men who made them. Whei. it became clear that they could draw little from the party tbey had be trayed, came their crowning act of in famy. They go to their ancient enemy aud retail to it all they know of the par ty that had trusted them. There is not much distfnetion between informers, but those of modem times do not seem to bo troubled by their con sciences as were those of old. The first great informer of history, after betray ing bis .Master, went out and hung him self; the last, after betraying his party, went fishing. "National democrats" did not work for the electiou of their candidates. Their campaign was in the interest of the re publican nominee. In fact every move they made stamped fraud upon the face of their party, and, so, on election day, that party passd, like its reputed sire, iuto "innocuous desuetude." It is dead beyond hope of resnection. A monu ment might be erectedand this epitaph inscribed upon it: "Here lies national democracy; in birth disreputable; in life dishonest; in death dishonored a sui cide." 1 "But what the effect upon the historic party of Jefferson and Jackson? With undesirable material removed it will wax strong and powerful. It will gather strength from many sources. Republi cans numbering in the thousands, who believed last fall that their party would secure' bimetallism by international agreement, will, on finding themselves deceived, come to us. Many men who have during recent years been driven by their convictions out of, both the old parties will recognize what they sought for in the rejuvenated democracy of today. Most of the demo crats who deserted last fall did so through timidity or uuder a misunder standing of the conditions, and will re turn to their old faith before another campaign. Only those who were trusted the most and proved the most, false will not return will not be permitted to return. They are today without homes in the political world; every political organization shuns them as it would a pestilence. With such there can be no bargaining, no compromise. , "Freed from all baneful Influences, and inspired by the heroic soul of Jackson, our party can tonight look confidently iuto the future and see rising before it the shapes of great events to be; a na tion with honest laws, brave men, virtu ous women, bright hopes, proud dignity and mighty aspirations. "This is the hope of democracy and ' the result it proposes to accomplish. The. first grand buttle 'has been fought and won. True the verdict seems to have been against ns, 'Twas so at Bunker Hill. Mr. Bryan tells us tonight that our party appeals to the heart of the A mericau people. Yes, and we can tell Mr. Bryan that deep in that great heart is impressed a purpose and an image, a purpose that cannot be changed and an image thut will not be erased. The pur pose is to do justice to the poor. The image is the face of the poor man's friend, today our neighbor, in 1900 our president." , Mr. Manahan awakened the utmost enthusiasm by his remarks and has been warmly congratulated for the sentiments to which he gave utterance and the manner iu which he did it. "The Press" met with a response from R. L. Metcalfe, managing editor of the World-Herald; "Old Hickory" from W. II. Thompson of Grand Island, and "The Jacksonians" by Ed P.Smith of Omaha. Short, talks were made by Hon. J. B. Romans of Denison, la., and Hon. C. F. Cochran of St.. Joseph, Mo. Judge Scott responded to "Turn the Rascals Out." Letters of regret were read from Vice President Stevenson, Senator Allen, Hon. John R. McLean of Cincinnati, Hon. William Sulzer of New York, Hon. H. T. Lewis of Georgia. Hon. C. 8. Thomas of Denver, Hon. L. G. Kruse ot Des Moines, Hon. J. H. Broady of this- city, iion. Ueorge Fred Williams of Bos ton, lion. John W. Tomlinson of Ala bama aud others. Mr. Bryan returned home this morn ing with the Lincoln party. Ducks Caught With TXela. Legitimate sportsmen in the vicinity of Eastport, Long Island, hare be come greatly incensed oyer the knowl edge that lately men have employed nets in catching the wild duok whieh haunt the bays in this territory at night. This practice is in direct vio lation of the game laws and is consid ered detrimental to the interests of the shooters. It had long been sus pected that nets were being used to catch the wild duck on dark nights, but it is only a few days since actual evidence was had of the fact. A few evenings ago while a belated party were crossing from the Great ' South beach to the mainland they noticed some men drawing into their boat a large net, such as is used for catching flounders and flat fish. In this net a number of wild duck had' become entangled. The names of the law violators could not be obtained. The method of employing the nets for wild fowl which dive for their food is by first removing the corks and then allowing it to sink to the bottom of the bay. The birds in diving pro ject their long necks through the meshes, and when they become alarmel and attempt to free themeelvei become caught only more firmly in the net. The feeling against these net set ters has become so strong that several men are constantly maintaining a saarp watch for the guilty parties. New York Press. TIRED OF CURLS. There was a little boy whose mother had made a little Lord Fauntleroy. of him, training his hair in long curls and dressing him in black velvet knickerbockers and jacket, ornament ied with white lace. One day a large girl thought to frighten the pic turesque little chap by rushing toward him brandishing a large pair of scis sors, and exclaiming, "I'll cat off your carls!": The little Lord Fauntleroy wiu not frightened.
