LegiKlatorN are not extectl to think of Blithe reforms needed in our laws, ,lt is the duty o! cititens to miKKt such reform an they think needful, and, il they meet the approval o( the lawniak inf( tody, than the same should be en acted into law. W itu tbia in view, and trustiuij you will give them space in your paper, I of ler tnese suKKeetioiis: 1st. Our law should be no amended an to permit counties where the "herd law IB in force (and with the exception of two or three this is so in every county in the state), to return to "free range upon a majority vote of the electors of the county. A law of this character can ao no one any harm, as it would in no way change the present condition of things unless a majority of the voters so desired the change; and if they so de sired, as the law now stands they have no way of helping themselves. Many counties in the western part of the state have proven failures for the purpose of agriculture, and as the law no w is grazing cannot be carried on suc cessfully, as the great body of the peopl are unable to fence a sufficient tract of land to keep a herd of cattle or to hire a herder tor a small flock for the season while there are great bodies of land not under cultivation and which cannot be cultivated upon which thousands of cattle could range if only it were free. 2d. In the matter of settling the es tates of decedents, a better plan should be adopted. The present rule allowing ' none but relatives or creditors to apply for administration has proven very un satinlactory, us a rule, to all who are in forested; aud many times entails ill feel ings for life if not endless litigation. The relative who assumes to Buttle an estate feels a sort of proprietary interest in the property of the estate which leads too often to an over-reaching and misap propriating tendency, and when creditor assumes the settlement it is as natural as cun be that such creditor often has no other object in view than to secure his own claim by any means possible. The remedy lies in providing for an administration entirely separated from personal interest. This can be done by providing for a public administrator, elected in each county, as other county officers are elected, who shall execute a good aud sufficient bond, aud whose duty it shall be, at once, upon learning of the decease of any person in bis county to take an inventory of all propertylund effects and to at once be considered the trustee of all lands aud property of the deceased, report the same to the probate court and thereupon proceed to settle the es tate in a way best for the estute. And in the event of the deceased being a relative or otherwise obligated to this officer then the coroner to assume the duties as exofficio public administrator. These two suggestions are submitted for the candid consideration of the mem bers of the Nebraska legislature Respectfully, J. L. White. A80UR0E OF SURPRISE To Physician and Patient Alike- Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study, and treatment of piles aud rectal diseas es, recently stated that the Pyramid l'ile Cure, the new discovery for the cure of Tiles, was the most remarkable rem edy he had ever seen or tried iu one re spect; aud that was, the instant relief ex perienced in all cases, no matter how se vere, from the moment the remedy was applied; this was the more surprising to him, because he had carefully analyzed the preparation and no trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison could be de tected. l'hysicians look with great favor upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rap idly taking the place of surgical opera tions and because it is so simple, so easi ly applied and contains no mineral or other poisons so commonly used in pile cures. Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra mid Pile cure not only cures the various forms of piles, but never fails to give im mediate relief on the first applicatiou.no matter how severe the pain or discom fort may be. People who have suffered from Piles for years are often astonished at the instant relief experienced from the first applica tion. Another important advantage is the fact that anyone can use the remedy without detention from business or in terference with daily occupation Mr. J. W. Rollins of Sweet Springs, Wo., writes: "I consider the Pyramid Pile Cure without un equal; it cured me in less than thirty days. I waited fifteen days or more to be sure I was fully cured before writing you. I am cured and I shall recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible opportunity, because it deserves it. . Although a coniaratiely new remedy its popularity is such that all druggists now sell it; if your druggist hasu't it in stock, he will get it for you if you ask him, as all wholesale druggists have it on sale.

POPULAR ELECTION Ont of the Reforms That la Sure to Have Its Inning Before Long, To the Editor of the Post: The populist platform adopted at St. Louis on July 25, 1896, demands the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. A large major ity of tha citizens of the country, as well as of the state of Nebraska, favor popu lar election. Why, then, are senators not choseu in that way? A careful study of the federal constitution will convince any one that, so far as the conditions in Am erica would allow, it' is a copy of tbe English constitution as it existed from 1763 to 1787. Senators, like members of the House of Lords, were removed as far as possible from the people. This is why United States senators are elected by the state legislatures. A large number of tbe members of tbe constitutional convention believed that the government ought not to be placed in the hands of the people, and at that time no statesman trusted the people as they are trusted today. There may have been reasons for this then, for con ditions were not as they are now. Means of communication were poor, and it was difficult for tbe people to know the character of men for whom they would 1 I have been called on to Tots if they had 1 rp,tti,"M' that right. JSut today, with all our modern means ot Information, this dlllicuiiy IS removed, reopis are now intelligent enough to elect their governors, their representatives in state legislatures, their judges and officials in all departments of the state and county; HnH thev have enouch intelliiieniw aUo to choose their own representatives in the United States senate. Governors were formerly elected by the legislatures, but today they are chosen by the people. This change was made because the people could better elect theirgovernors than could the state legis- latures. This pnuciple will apply to the United States senators as well, and the the on I v reason wbv a change has uot been effected is because it is so difficult to amend the federal constitution, and chiefly because the senate will not pass a bill to submit such an amendment for adoption. It is claimed by some that the constitution is a sacred document and should, therefore, not be changed. Is this trood argument? Because the constitution is sacred that should not nrevent us from amending it when con ditions demand that it be changed. Has it not been improved by fifteen amend ments? It is also claimed that the sena tors must be chosen by some other body than the people in order that they may truly represent the state. Does not the governor represent tne stater tie certainly does, for in his of ficial capacity he acts for the state, Would not tbe senators represent the state if elected in the same way? Most assuredly. If United States senators were chosen by the electors of the state at large, they would represent the state in the truest sense. Others maintain that the dignity and honor of the United States senate depend upon its election by the state legislature. Does the legis lature add any dignity or honor to our senators? It is hard to see in what way. It is the tenure of office, the qualfica tions, the salary, and the powers of the senators that make them more dignified than members of the house of representa tives. What good can be derived from the proposed change? It would do mnch to seperate federal and state politics. Undtr the present system, li the people of the state desire to send man ' of some particular party to , the United States senate, they must elect a state legislature of that politicul faith regardless of what its state policy might be. This often places the people 111 a very embarassing post tion. Mnch time and money is wasted by state legislatures in elocting United States senators. It is not unusual for a legislature to spend almost all if not the entire session in attempting to select United States senator, and state affairs must suffer while the legislature takes months in trying to accomplish what the people could settle in a single day. v ill the change ever be secured? Is it not inevitable? The national house of representatives has several times passed resolutions favoring the election of senators by a direct vote of the people, but the senate has always defeated this measure. I he state legislatures of almost half of the states iiave passed resolutions in favor of the proposed change. Ali of the political parties have expressed themselves favorably to this reform, and a number of them have laced planks in their platforms to secure it. the attention of the people as been turned to the question and iine alone will accomplish the inevitable result.

He mane his experi ments with the drag in Algiers. His greatest difficulty was to overcome the repugnance that fever patients felt for A surgeon who was attaohed to the staff of Dr. Maillot in Bone relates that once a soldier, who appeared to be in the last stages of marsh fever, begged th'e nurse with tenrs in hie eyes to take away the "bitter pow der," which he was sure was poison, Dr. Maillot dissolved the quinine in a glass of water. "You fool," he said, will you take a drink with me, and he swallowed a half a tumblerful. The soldier, convinced that everything was all right, then drained the glass. 1ODD ON THE LEGISLATURE. Also on Quite a Number of Othtr Things. Union, Neb., Jan. 5, 1897. EniTon Independent: The people of Nebraska are confronted by a condition in contemplating which I am constrained to offer some suggestions. The coming session will determine whether the peo ples party in Nebraska is to jive or die. There are at least five points of danger. Thu greatest of these is sugar beet boun ty; second irrigation; third Trans-Mississippi exposition; fourth, extravagant appropriations for state institutions, together with general display of state house boodle to political grasshoppers and dead beats. The farmers of Nebras ka are willing to conform to that con dition of life which it has pleased God to call them; but they will not quietly sub mit to be burdened with taxation for the purpose of maintaining industries which return more income to their man ager and owners than can be realized by the taxpayers engaged in ordering pur suits in the state. From the published statements of sugar manufactories, as well as beet raisers, the industry is an assured success. They deserve our good will and shall have it. The butter and cheese factories in the state have ex pended a large amount of money with out state aid, but they are all busted ex cept one at Lincoln on the state farm, which one I have no donbt will make a success. The state contains tbe ele ments necessary to keep a creamery run ning summer and winter and when Prof. Taylor gets hold of the tits the state will have to give down. If we are going into the bounty business let us take in first the corn raisers then the horsemen, also the hog men. McKinley will take care of the sheepmen. But the coming factories, creameries, as well as eatables etc., must be protected. There is an other class I had almost forgotten, viz: lightningrod peddlers and insurance agents, both mutual and old line. Then tbe Salvation army is in great distress 1 and ought to have a subsidy. In order , to inaa this bounty and protection Mis- lines a success, we must tax the druit store ami naioons omy; men 1 now who save the most money can drink the most whiskey and the consumer will pay the tax. I leave out the pop editors as I themselves. If there is anything morel essential than all others, it is tbe agri cultural department of the State Uni versity. Professor Taylor of the Uni versity and his staff are worn down to the extreme point of mental and physi cal endurance, in order to keep the farmers 01 Nebraska up to the proper standard of knowledge in all matters pertaining to farm industry. We had a most successful farmers institute at Union on the 17th, 18th and 19th of I December, without the aid but with the consent of tbe university fraternity. If, however, we could have gotten the pro- I lessor and the bug men down it would I have been a great pleasure and satis- iacnon to tne undersigned and some others. But we will give the boys an other cbance. L. G. Todd. WHAT HARDY THINKS. An Old Stager Presents His Views on Seveial Things. To the Editor of the Poit: Quite an advanced step toward econ omy, one less page employed. You have got to do better than that, gentlemen, or Jou wiI1 a11 die yearlings, as you did I four years ago. The taxpayers are watching in every part of the state. Then the pay is liable to be stopped if more than the legal number in each house is given employmeut. There is only one way for lawmakers to over ride laws already made, and that is by repeal. 1 be speakers who have carried on tneir cnairs can oe mane to pay lor mem. me clerics wno carried on their desks and the members who carried off their inkstands are all liable. Using these things does not make ownership. t'assing a resolution does not part title. Members and clerks can draw their con stitutional pay and no more, legally After this they can steal. Illegal appro priations can be stopped. The Omaha circus better go to grass rather than tax the mortgaged farmers another cent Then thvre are tnose contest lawyers. Better let them go to Bixby. Drop the fish commission and narrow down the floodgates of republican extravagance. or under good promises they will be re instated. The policy that the people of Nebraska are going to insist upon for several years to come is no higher taxes and no increase of public debt. For ourselves we wish it was a fact that the election of popocrats in this state had driven out al! eastern money loaners. Nine people are injured by borrowing money where there is one benefitted. We welcome money invested, butcondemutheloaning of it, and are almost ready to say there should be no law for collecting interest on borrowed money. Had we never borrowed a dollar our cities would now be smaller and our farms larger. Is there not some way of making public treasurers pay public debts with public money rather than loan it to banks? Must the taxpayers of the state lose a half million dollars every change of administration? Why not have a state treasury inspector as well as county? The bankers have kept Mr. Bartlett in the state treasurer s office for twenty years or more. Why has he not kept things straight? W7e say turn all the money into one fund and pay out the money as fast as it comes in. Then it will be safe. Then we won't need any state depositories at least for many years. Something ought to be done to secure the depositor who puts his money in banks. Either require bankers to put ud bonds to secure him as he does to se cure the bill holders, or else tax them and use the funds to pay losses. Then banks would watch each other and de tect the rogues more surely than an ex aminer. There would be no runs on the banks any more than there is now by the bill holders. Bankers kuow very well why people are withdrawing, their deposits. The bankers and non-producers met the 12th inst. at Indianapolis to bolster up the gold standard and plan to bring about another gust of confidence and prosperity. The .first proposition ou which the convention started out was that they would never agree to any proposition which would "degrade the present standard of value." It would now be in good time for the producers, farmers and mechanics to meet and re solve that they would not submit to any proposition that would further degrade the price of labor aud produce. Who ever heard of an incoming gov ernor snubbing an outgoing governor as Tanner did the other day. Truth was what was feareu. We well remember when soft-headed statesmen thought it creditable to snub Wendell Phillips. He was actually egged in Ohio and in other states. Today every man who ever had a father is sure he was a Wendell Phil lips, abolitiouest. Lincoln only trod the road laid out by him. Had there never been a Phillips there never would have been a Lincoln. All such snubbing only helps on the truth. Why don't Rixby, the Journal's poet, sing about his republican treasurer, pen itentiary builders and the furnishers of coal and beef for the asylum? Why does he sing so much about the pops and popocrats and what they are going to do? Why does he not sing about the big chunks of confidence and prosperity that McKinley carries in his breeches pocket? I tell what it is (Bixby). It is Bryan's yap that is raising thunder with tbe banks and treasurers, W e have got I to contrive a way to stop him or he will tear McKinley's goldbug administration all to pieces. If you say so I will write a piece of poetry to him and that will dry him up, I know. H. W. Hardy. Editors Meet. Grand Island, Neb., Jan. 14. TN "quillpushers" are very much in evidence in Grand Island today, attending the annual meeting of the state association. They have the keys of the city and will have a royal time, if anything Grand Island can do will accomplish that result. s The meeting of the association was called to' order by President Dayton at 9. '.10 After tha rpndinir nf the tninnt.a of the previous meeting by Secretary Mer- win, the president delivered tbe annum I address, in which he made some excellent Isuggpstiona aod advocated some very practical Ideas. lie said lis was glad to see the news pa sr men taking up with the idea of lederation on political lines thus forming seperats party organizations so that the Mats I reus association would be free from the charge of being a republican in stitution. He advocated the completeex elusion of everything that would ten, to arouse partisan feeling from their meet ings. 1 be object of tbe State Press as sociation, as be took it, was to pro mote tbe interests of the newspaper fra ternity and not for tbe pupose of foster ing tbe principles of any political or ganization. . He also recommended the establish ment of connty associations to deter mine advertising rates, which should be based on tbe actual circulation of the paper. On motion ot C. M. Ilubaer, a commit tee of five consisting of C. M. Hnbner, D H. Cronin, Edgar Howard, N. H. Parks and L. J. Simmons were appointed to consider the recommendations of the president and report the' result of thei investigations to tbe association the amendment to admit the wives mothers, daughters and sisters of the members of the association into full membership was unanimously adopted Mr. Mobley.on behalf ot the local com m it tee, made a tew remarks in which he referred in a kindly way to the death of Ed, J. Hall, who was quite active in making preparations for the meeting when death came upon him. In the evening an excellent entertain meat was provided the visitors at tbe opera house. The members of tbe asso ciation are still coming in. A full attend ance is expected tomorrow Much May Depend! Upon tbe Answer Although the new statJ treasurer took possession of his office a week ago the retiring state treasurer has not yet p.nmnlpteri hia flertlpmanr. arm tnrna.i over the funds to bis successor. In fact thora nrai ,afar;ai imnj;mmi. in the way of la settlement that may delay the trail saction for some time. The retiring treasurer has a large amount of state funds on deposit in banks which, it is said, he has been nnable to withdraw. Considerable, if not all, of it is deposited iu banks that have been designated as state depositories. The ex-treasurer contends that the delivery of certifi cates of deposit from a bank that has been so designated is a lawful turning over of the cash, but the new treasurer does not accept the contention and has declined to accept such certi ficates as cash. It has also been discovered that banks have been selected as state depositories by the ex-treasurer and ex-secretary of state without the assent of the governor and whose bonds were not approved by the governor, and behind this feature of tbe contention there is said to be some interesting developments pending. The new administration contends that these banks are not lawfully state depositories uutil their bonds have been approved by the governor In view of the impediments to settle- meut presented by these aud other phases of the situation, it has been decided to submit a number of questions to the supreme court at its sitting next Tuesday. These questions have been drawn up by Attorney General Smyth, but as they had not been fully agreed upon the attorney general declined to discuss them this morning, It is known, however that one of them is whether or not a certificate of deposit from a state depository can be lawfully turned over as cash in the sett.ement, and another is ns to the validity of a state depository bond that has not been approved by the governor. V hen asked whether or not the re tiring treasurer would be likely to be 0111 barrassed by a decision that certificates of deposit on a state depository were not cash, Attorney General Smyth declined to answer. In connection with this subject the rumor given publicity by the State Journal is of interest. It is to the effvct that the retiring state auditor, Eugene Moore, has not settled with ex-Treasurer Hartley for the insurance fees coming into his hands during the past two years, said to aggregate about $20,000. 1 he law requires each new company entering the state to pay a fee of $50 and each local agent is charged $2 a year. Mr. Moore is quoted as having said that the final adjustment of th account is in progress and will be com pleted satisfactorily in a short time. NOT AN ASPIRANT C. S Jones Declares Th-t He Is Not a Candidate For Police Commissioner. "I see that the Journal has me out as candidate for police commissioner," said C. S. Jones this morning. "I can't understand how any one should gain the impression that I am a candidate for the place. Ihavenever for a moment thought of being one, I have been asked if I did not want the place in case a charter was passed providing a hre ana police com mission, and 1 have always said that I would not have it under auy circum stances. I haven't changed my mind about it. I am not a candidate now and don't want the place.
