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,

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. Otto Wm. Meiek.

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.

"quillpushers" are very much in evidence
in Grand Island today, attending the

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 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

about it. I am not a candidate now and

Cured by the Home Treatment.
Mrs. Lottie Stritchfleld, Havensville,
Kas., writes with enthusiasm of the Home
Treatment. Her letter is dated October 28,
1896, and runs as follows: "Dear Doctors
This testimony was due you something
like a year ago, and now I give it with a
great sense of thankfulness. After teach-
"nT school several years, I found I was a
victim of catarrh in Its most offensive
rorm. 1 tried several doctors and numerous
remedies with little benefit. Then I took a
course with you and found it a perfect
cure. My general health has been splendid
since you discharged me as cured In the
I summer of '95. Please send me a Symptom
niank to nil out for my mother. I hope you
can cure her also."

"I am stronger and better In every way
than I have been for ten years, and I owe
my cure to Drs. Copeland and Shepard of
Omaha. Their Home or Mail Treatment
did the work. I had a filthy catarrh in the
head and throat for years, with a severe
cough, tickling of the throat and soreness
all through the chest. My nose was tightly
stopped and the sense of smell badly af
fected. My eyes were inflamed, weak and
watery. At the least cold I took I would
have severe headaches, with pain and sore
1 ness all through the body. All this Is past.
. I am sound and hearty and able to resist
I all changes of weather. I didn't have to g
' to Omaha for my cure, but kept right oa
1 with my work at home, having weekly
consultations with the doctors throurb
the malls."
