GUARANTY BOND MEASURE.
Recommended by a Very Large Vote to
Pass the House.
The guaranty bond measure intro
duced by Hon. C. F. Wheeler of Furnas
will pass the house in a few days by a
large vote. The bills were skilfully drawn
and no amendments were necessary.
They provided that the state treasurer
and county treasurers, and the bonds
required of all public officials, the bonds
in appealed cases, and bonds, for liquor
dealers may be furnished by a surety
company but donot make it compulsory
that any official or private individual
give a bond of one of those companies.
It carries with it an appropriation to
pay not to exceed one-third of one per
cent of the amount of the bond of the
state treasurer. The rate charged can
not exceed one-half of one per cent in the
case of county and city officials. The
greatest opposition to the guaranty
company plan came from those who were
opposed to any bond whatever, prefer-
ing to have the state carry its own in
surance foe, "officials as it now does in
thease of loss by fire. If the state
-jprOuld not carry insurance in one line

Your Paper Free.
An Arrangement Whereby You Can Secure all
Your Reading Matter 1 Absolutely

We have made arrangements with tho following firms
whereby you can secure a year's subscription to the Nebraska
Independent free of cost. Also to papers in our clubbing list:

ment of those opposed to the bills. Mr
Wheeler in defending his bills showed
very clearly that guaranty companies
were in a better position to watch a pub
lic official than were the voters, that it
would be to their interest to prevent any
defalcations, and also to pay losses non
estly sustained so that the reputation of
the company would not suner; mat a
company that did not pay its lossses
would soon have no patrons, and that
in recovering for losses a verdict could
much more easily be secured and en
forced asrainst a foreign corporation
than against private individuals suffer
ing for the wrongs of another. These
companies will undoubtedly afford bet
ter protection than the old plan of bonds
of private individuals.

OUR ILLUSTRATION The above cut is from a photograph of a few, representative lots of fruit trees as grown by the Crete Nurseries.
The illustration is designed to show the fact that the trees grown itnd sold by this well-known firm are just what they are represented
to be, well balanced, well developed tre:'s, with roots as well as with tops. Many poople would give their attention maiuly to the tops
or bodies of tres in making their selections, while it is equally essential that the trees have well developed roots. Without this the tree
CHimfvr become the sturdy, long-lived, profitable fruit-bearing tree that it should be. One of the strongest of claims as set forth by
the Crete Nurseries is that the stock they off.r the trade is well rooted. This condition is largely secured through a systematic and thor
ough attention to soil conditions during the growth and development of the tree in the nursery row.
THE GOLD8U05 AFTER JAPAN.
The Same Plan of Capture Tbat has Been
so Successful in Other Countries. '
Some of the high officials in Japan
have prepared and had introduced into
the legislature (Diet) of Japan a bill for
the establishment of the single gold
standard iu that country. They realize
that they must cripple this nation in the
same manner that tbey have Egypt,
Germany and America or it will soon be
beyond their itoutrol. This bill is more
moderate than is usually attempted for
the reason that while the nation is pros
perous it is more difficult to secure the
change. The measure proposes to re
duce the unit of value one-half and pro
vides that existing gold coin shnll circu
late at double its stamped value. The
silver coins after October 1, 1897, are to
be used only as 'oken money, for sub
sidiary coin. The fight in the legislative
body of Japan will be bitter, but as the
allied gold powers have an unbroken
record of success, the chances are in
favor of the passage of the infamous
measure. This would greatly increase
the demand for gold, increase its value,
still further depreciate the cash value of
property and cause increased suffering
over the entire world. The progress of
the latest at taek of the money power
will be watched with great interest by
the bi-metallists of all nations.
KNIGHTS OF AK-SAR-BEN.
The Members of the Legislature are Initi

A special invitation was extended to

A Senator Strides an Editor,
C, J. Bowlby one of the members of
re-cauvass board has been publishing
articles criticising some of the senators
for their attitudeon the Btock yards bill.
He chanred that Senator Farrell had
been bribed and referred to him as a "de
formed ignoramus." When the senator
observed Mr. Bowlby ou the floor of the
senate he proceeded to where he was
standing and engaged him in conversa
tion concerning the article, and asked
for a rel ruction since the bill had passed.
Bowlby declined to make any retraction
and an encounter ensued. Both drew
blood, and the fight promised to be
lively untJNthe spectators succeeded in
separating the contestants.

Another landmark of old London Is
about to suffer destruction. This ia
the house in Stapel ipn in which Dr.
Johnson wrote "Kasselas," and in
which some of his earlier years in
London were passed. The house is
situated on the south side of the
Garden court, and, from an inscrip
tion on the face of the building, it
appears to have been built in 1699.
The architecture of this period ia not
remarkable for grace, and the build
ing is as ugly as most of the contem
porary structures. Neverthelsss, the
magic personality of the sturdy old
doctor has invested it with a certain
degree of interest, and. although the
site is to be used for the extension of
the patent office, the idea of the de
struction of the old house gives a
pang of sentimental regret. .

BRYAN ON TRUSTS.
An Extract From bis article in the New
Yoik World.
TRUSTS.
"The trust has few open defenders. It
lives because it has numerous secret but
influential friends.
Its existence is not only a menace to
the national welfare, but an impudent
denial of the ability of the government
to protect its citizens.
Jefferson said tbat one of the main
duties of the government was to restrain
men from injuring one another.
Never was it more necessary than now
for the government to exercise this re
straining power. All admit that the
government should protect the physically
weak from injury at toe bands ol those
who are physically strong, and yet the
strongest man is scarcely twice as power
ful as the average man.
Now, when improved machinery and
associated wealth make a single corpo
ration a thousand times as strong,
sometimes, as the average individual, is
it not right and necessary to protect
the pecuniarily weak from iujury at the
bands of those who are pecuniarily pow
erful?
THEY ARE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY.
There are so many arguments which
can be made against the trust tbat one
scarcely knows with which argument to
begin.
It is a gross injustice to leave the peo
ple at the mercy of a coal trust, a sugar
trust, a coffee trust, or any other trust
which can control the price ot an article
of necessary consumption, and thenex
tort millions from the consumers.
It is as much the duty of the govern
ment to protect society from these in
stitutions as it is to afford protectkn
against tho highwayman or the burglar,
and vet I am not sure but there argu
ments stronger than the argument di
rected against the amount of the extor
tion.
The fact that a trust can drive a
merchant out of business if he refuses to
join with the trust threatens to make a
complete change in Dusiness tnetnoas,
It is impossible to conceive of a more
demoralizing condition than mat in
which the merchant is compelled to
choose between bankruptcy on the one
hand and conspiracy against the wellare
of society on the other.
CORRUPTING TO OUR POLITICS.
Under such conditions honeBty, indus
try and business ability count for
nothing; merit is punished and wrong is
enthroned.
If anv stronger argument can be found
against the trust it is found on its cor
rupting influence upon pontics, a smaii
ner cent of the unjust profits gathered in
by greater trusts will make such a large
contribution to a campaign fund that

tion Is likely to manifest but little dis
position to "kill the hen that lays the
golden egg."
The head of the sugar trust once testi
fied that the trust contributed to the
republican campaign fund in republican
states, to the democratic campaign in
democratic states and to the campaign
fends ol both parties in doubtful states.
Are these donations merely an evidence
of devotion to the political principles of
all parties, or are they made as a busi
ness investment for tho purpose of pur
chasing immunity from just punish
ment?" FAST TIME,
