It is our opinion that the total saving will reach nearly half a million. The president and congress do not eern to understand that there are two ways to meet the deficiency in the treas ury, Reduce expenses or increase the revenues. They devote all their atten tion to the latter method. Senator Allen has introduoed a good bill in the senate. It provides that any one found around tbecapitol attempting to influence legislation shall be punished by a fine and imprisonment. It will probably not become a law at the pres ent session. The railroad companies are attempt ing to organize "bureaus of information and statistics" iu the place of the freight and passenger associations recently dis solved on account of the supreme court decision. The same officers who were at the heads of the "association" will now be the heads of the new "bureaus." We shall see whether the court will toler ate such open and plain evasion of its decision. Common people would un doubtedly be punished for "contempt of court" under such circumstance!). If the court was sincere in its decision it will see that ip is enforced. It is expected Senator Wolcott will be sent abroad to work up free-silver senti ment. He Is welcome to the honor. Fow Americans crave the destinction of being alloted the embarrassing task of cring ing at Europe's feet in tearful supplica tion, beseeching despotism's permission to enact flnaucial legislation. No man equal in intelligence to a hypnotized ass would allow himself tu be made such an object of mingled pity aud scorn, even I by his party president. The thought of A United States senator being cajoled, jostled and laughed at over in England is uncanny. If he should all atonce "see himself us others see him" what smoth ering shams must sway his being. Ob, Wolcott, don't go;' spare us, a oiiee proud natiou, this additional humilia tion and disgrace at thy bauds.

Oue of the great and all absorbing po litical questions in state politics, one that will not down, is control of rail roads. Ever since Nebraska became a state the people have been subject to ex orbitant and excessi ye charges by the various roads doing business within the state. The demand for relief resulted in the legislature of 1 887 creating a state board of transportation. The law was apparently drafted with the view of al lowing the board only very limited power, but never-the-less, in -1898 an action was brought before the board for the reduction of freight rates that re sulted in a cut of 33!iper cent, by way of a compromise. As the executive state officers composing the board, since the enactment of the law np to the present time, bavo been better friends to the cor porations than the people, but little has been accomplished except the adjust ment of individual complaints and those relating to localities in which the gen eral public had no interest. This failure to grant relief culminated in the maxi mum rate law, now being up in the fedttral supreme court Governor Hol corab In his message to the present legis latnre, realizing that no determination of "the casecould he reached, during the present session of the legislature, and that it would be unwise to repeal the law while under consideration by the court, advised that nothing be done in the matter of establishing rates, but that the legislature should extend the powers of the state board of transportation, quqting from bis message, "if the board has not sufficient authority, as now con stituted, to fulfill the objects of its crea tion, vlie law should be , amended so as to give it more extended powers. The necessity for the malntainaiice of an office charged with the duties of enforc ing all provisions of the law regulating railroad traffic in the state, is quite ob vious to all." In compliance with the recommenda tion, a conference was held in which the governor, a sub-committee of the house railroad committee, and the secretaries of the board took part, and certain amendments to the law were agreed npon. J. W, Edgerton, one of the secre taries, prepared - the bill, and submitted the same to the governor and attorney general for their approval after which it was introduced in the bouse by Mr. Zimmerman chairman of the railroad committee, as house roll 428. The amendments are a substantial copy of the Texas law, and changes the present mode of procedure by making the order of the board final, unless re versed or modified in a direct action brought by the railroad company against the board. As the law now stands, the company can be compolled to obey the order of the board only by an action brought against the company. The amendment also provides that all actions brought against the board to modiiy or set aside the order of the board shall take precedence over all other cases pending in the court where such action is brought. It gives the cotrfpany ten dayain which to bring the action. The bill is fair and just, and only aims to make the roads act and not delay, and it is impossible to con ceive what motive any member of the legislature, who poses-as a friend of the people, cau have in opposing this mens ure. , We hope this measure may become a law, as in the event of the supreme court sustaining Brewer's decision, the state board will be the only means of relieving the people from the unjust freight rates, and they should be given possible. all the power STATE WARRANTS. At the beginning of Treasurer Me serve's term of office and at the opening of the present session of the legislature, the highest price that could be realized for state warrants ranging from $ 50 to $500 was 05 cents on the dollar. They very soou advauced to 9(J cents, where the market remained firm for some time. Mr. Moserve, as fast as he could call in the funds belonging to the state, begun paying its obligations and calling in the warrants longest outstanding. His energetic action iu this direction has been very fruitful, and warrants at this time sell readily at 98 cents, aud this in the face of the fact that bis predeces sor left a shortsge of over half a million dollars. If Mr. Meserve had the mouey due from Mr. Hartley, it is practically certain that ths state's warrants would be selling very neurly at par. It mum that ateru capitalists have not only as much but more confidence in a set of populist ollUinU than thy have in the gang of republican rubbers that hits in fested the capital building lor ths last thirty years. Mr. MMrve's position iu handling the credit of the state Is a moat trying oae, and the manner In ahirh he has tilled it merits the prat of all rttiiens interest!

Such "revolutionary repudiation" bas proved to be a good thing for the state. Suppose our taxpayers apply a little of the same kind of "revolution" to our city government to see how it works. A recent Journal editorial asserts that there are others implicated with ex Treasurer Bartley ia looting the state treasury. If so, who are they? Are they leading republican politicians who staked their future on continued republi caa success in this state and have lost? Are these the gentlemen with whom Mr. Bartleyhas "deposited" theschool funds of tne state and on whom be cannot safely draw without endangering a panic? In this connection it may not be im proper to inquire whose names are signed to the notes held by the Maxey Cob es tate? Who borrowed of the kind-hearted Maxy, failed to repay, and thus drove him to suicide? Are they the same chaps who are now seekiu'g to perpetu ate their rule after having robbed the people of the county aud city of more than 150,000? And it may be well for the people to ask where is the f 100,000 now reported as cash on hand in the city treasury. Does any part of that hundred thousand dollars consist of notes of leading campaigners on whom it would not be safe to draw without endangering loss to the city? If not, why is not that $100,000 paid out on city obligations anltbus interest saved to the city and diseount on city war rants to laborers? OVKBPKOnt'CTION NOT THE CAUSE. In an Interview recently published Secretary of Agriculture Wilson states that overproduction is one of the chie' causes of bard times. Ia other words if this year's crop were only half "what it is the farmers would have twice as. much money, and the country would bo pros perous. There would not be so many hungry people. Thoy would have less to eat but more money. ' The Independent would suggest as the proper cure for overproduction an increase in the amount of money with which to handle the enormous crops,and a proper regulation of railroad rates to place the products within the reach of the consumers. To cure the hard time's, regulate the trusts and see that no man or set of men take more than a fair and legitimate income from the necessaries furnished to the people. It is the machi nations of the oil trust, sugar trust, cof fee trust, tobacco trust, and the like, each taxing every farmer an exorbitant profit upon the products he must have, that makes it impossible for him to be prosperous. He is compelled ,to sell his products in a market open to the compe tition of the world. He must buy his supplies from trusts and combines among whom there is no competition, and where greed is unlimited. These are some of the causes of the depression in business. II. W, Hardy, our candidate for city treasurer, was born in Wyoming county, New York, was brought up on a farm, was educated in the district school and Genesee college. He lived near where he was born for forty-five years. He held there several bfflces of trust in town and, county. He moved west to grow up with the country in 1868, stop ping three years in Aurora, 111.; and in 1871 pushed onto Lincoln, Nebraska, In 1877 he was nominated by the repub lican party for mayor aud was elected, thefugh the party had been defeated for several years iu succession, just pre viously. He was again nominated at the close) of bis first term and re-elected. His record as mayor is well remembered by every old citizen. He also served two terms on the school board. In both cases he found warrants selling at a dis count and together, with the other offi cial members succeeded in briuging them to a par. City warrants were paid off, $4,000 put into the basement of the state university building which had been condemned as unsafe, and $4,800 of surplus left in the city treasury, and oil without increasing the taxes a single mill. His life for tweuty-six years in the uity of Lincoln speaks for itself. There is not a man better known or better understood, for what he believes he talks everywhere and to everybody. He is always found on the side of the downtroddeu and oppressed. Many a colored man remembers the interest he took in their welfare as mayor at ths lime of the noted exodus from the south. Mr. Hardy Is not a young man, and yet he is nut as old as were some of our presidents, and not as old by many year as (iladton.

In the election of Mayor the Journal ia spite of its pre vious utterances is supporting the "reg ular nominees." We clip below from the issue of April 5tb, 189G, just about one year ago. The chief organ of the boodlers and gamblers realized then the present mayor was a failure, and that the promised prosperity to follow in the wake of "the wide open policy" bad not materialized. The condition at present is even worse. Crime goes unpunished, and yet the Journal is frantic in its efforts to re-elect the present mayor and continue the "reign of shame." The Journal declared the system of regula tion a failure, it said: A HOUSE CLEANING. "Some resolute men wentoutyesterday after ooon and began the work of clear ing Lincoln of open gambling houses and other places where the law has been defied during the past year. They prom ise to keep up the work uutll the job is completed, and thea they will ask the people to take some action to prevent a return to the conditions that have pre vailed since the present city administra tion came into power lost April. "We believe they will receive substan tial support from the business men of Lincoln and also from the general pub lic. The people have waited patiently for the city officers to act. They have listened indulgently, if not approvingly to the explanation that "reasonable and practical control" of gambling houses and similar places would prove more satisfactory than harsh repressive meas ures. Tbey have given the city adminis tration one whole year to work out the system of "regulation" and at last rea. Iize that they have been mercilessly duped. Instead of wise regulation of these evils we have no regulation at all. The gamblers have been given their own way so long that tbey are even aspiring to regulate the affairs of the city them selves. They are active in politics. Tbey not only keep their places open at all times, but tbey parade themselves and their business on the sidewalks, in the very teeth of the police, and talk loftily of the "protection" they enjoy. "The people are sick. They have hod enough. In another year they hope to change the situation through the en larged opportunities given theiniividual voters by the new Lincoln system of making nominations. In the meantime tbey will take the matter in their own hands so far as they can by bringing actions aganist the gamblers, the keep ers of gambling houses and the men who rent rooms for unlawful purposes. If the mayor will join in the moveinent,the law breakers will surrender without striking a blow. If the city authorities remain friendly to the gambling interests it will takeo stubborn fight and the ex penditure of some money to breakup the business by sending the leaders to the penitentiary, "During the coming week we shall see whether the people want the present policy continued or not or prefer to keep house next year with less vermin around the premises. There may be need of considerable help at this house cleaning and the wishes of every citizen can be fairly measured by the zeal with which he takes hold of the broom." At the time of writing the above edi torial the Journal did not suppose the present mayor would be re-nominated. To be placed in nomination by the re publican party is sufficient to secure the support of the Journal. It atones for all crimes of whatever character. A "house cleaning was needed a year ago. The same old bouse with a year's added filth needs no cleaning now. Consist ency is a jewel the Journal never saw. WHY THE PARTY WILL LIVE. Because it is builded around four di vine truths recognized by no othor party iu American politics: 1. That those things which are in their nature public utilities should be owned and operated by the government national, state or municipal in the interest of all the people. 2. That money is a function of gov ernment and should be issued by govern ment alone; that it is a creation of law and that it gains its virtue from the legal tender which is given it by law and not by any inherent value which the substance on which it is stamped may possess. 3. That the land was intended for all people; that therefore vast holdings of laud for speculative purposes should be prohibited; that the land should be held for the homes aud tillage. 4. That the people in their sovereign capacity have aright to originate or veto the laws under which they are to live. These ore four principles that no other party in the history of the republic has hnd the courage to enunciate. They are today advocated by no other party. They are the very fundamental ideas, the four corner-stones of the eople's party. 1'opulumi will live because these truths are et -nml and will vitatiie it. They are up now and they will never down uu til thvy are recounted In law. Ths republican arty Is Wedded to ths Hftiiv of mammon. It ha rtnid that it cannot rtorm.

The peoples party must live. It will live because it is right. It will live to teach the tenth. It bas a distinct mis sion to perform. No other party can sap its strength becauz? no other party has the courage to espouse its principles. It will live and it will grow in spite of the machinations of any or all other parties. It will live because the great truths it bas espoused are the questions of the future. They are rapidly coming to the front and will be the recognized issues at the beginning of the new century. It will live because it is a house builded upon a rock the rock of industrial liberty, It will live because it is animated by a divine ideal the brotherhood of man. J. A. E. SCISSORS DEf ARTMtfNT. The Kicker almost always deserts at the critical moment. Reform Press (Pueblo, Colo.) Secretary Edgerton of the populist na tional committee refused to take part in the organization of a new reform press association at Kansas City last month. He served notice on those pres ent at the meeting that he could not en dorse the plan to organize a separate association. His course was wise, and shows that our national committee have the best interests of the populist party at heart and will not throw a straw in the way of perfect harmony, although they have been severely cen tured by the reform press for doini? their duty as they saw it. American X Rays, (Ogden, Utah.) Tom Watson, through his paper, de nies that be congratulated Skinner over his success in securing the election of Gold bug Republican Pritchard, "after the deed was done," but he acknowl edges that he encouraged the effort be fore hand. This slip of the foot from the rock of everlasting rectitude may have been due to his desire to spite Sen ator Butler, but even that is a slim ex cuse for so rank a sacrifice of principle. Iowa Tribune. We have to note with regret that in a recent issue of this paper injustice was done to Hon. George Turner, populist, the newly elected senator of the United States from the state of Washington. The injustice consisted in a paragraph based upon a statement in the organ of the mouey power here, that Senator Turner was not in harmony with the principles of the peoples party platform, and that the professed certain political views more for the sake of obtaining populist votes than for any other pur pose, A communication from a corre spondent, together with an investiga tion of our own, shows that Senator Turner is a sincere man, a convinced populist, and to-all appearances worthy of the high honor conferred upon him by the people of his state. Twentieth Cel tury. Within the past five years Nebraska has suffered more from embezzlers, de faulters and public thieves than from all other causes combined. Crop failures and financial depression may have set the state back, but they have not in jured its reputation or lowered public morals one half as much as the unpun ished thievery ofpublicofficials. Omaha Bee. The populists and free silver republi cans and Bryan democrats may, and in fact do differ about many things, but on one thing they all agree. They are rad ically and unalterably opposed to the gold standard. So long as there is a party in power or liable to come into power which believes in the gold stand ard, just so long will these forces man age to get together at the polls. Popu lists do not consider free silver a pana cea for all of the ilia of the country, far from it, but tbey know there is no sal- A Bid for Extravagance. Instead of saying one word upon the necessity of economy in his message to congress, President McKinley encouraged the extravagance that has produced the deficiency which is his excuse for the extra session. He declared at tho start that "we are presenting the remarkable spectacle of increasing our public debt by borrowing money to meet the ordinary outlays incident upon even an economical and prudent administration of the govern ment." Is a succession of the billion dollar congresses and an increase in the national expenditures of $100,000,000 a year in ten years an evidence of "au economical and prudent administration of government?" "Ample revenues" said the president in closing, "must be supplied not only for the ordinary expenses of the govern ment but for prompt payment of liberal pensions." The cost of pensions has increased $05,000,000 in ten years. This is the full amount of the deficiency for the cur rent year. In other words, if cougress, twenty -one years after the close of the war, had put a reasonable limit upon pensions as General Grant and Presi dent Gartleld both declared it should do the present tariff bill, even after the income tax had been uullitled would have yielded revenue enough.

Lesser lights were there, who are as true populists as the editor of the Mercury, and this statement casts no reflection upon the latter, either.

We can find no words to express our regret that the reform press association has become iuvblved in a wrangle. The cause suffers by these discords, and the enemies of progress rejoice. The one thing that the reformer should do is to avoid pleasing his enemies. That is to say, be should not help them defeat his own cause. The Reform Press associa tion, part of which met in Memphis, and part in Kansas City showed a spirit of hostility which must cause the heart of every sincere reformer to bleed. It is alt a mistake.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR. The Sugar Trust bas Difficulties with the Islanders. An interesting contest is going on in cougress over the question of abrogat ing the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty.. Undei the provisions of that treaty be tween $7,000,000 and$8000,000 worth of sugar is imported into the United States free of duty. Nearly the whole of this is purchased by the Sugar Trust on a con tract made with the planters. This contract will terminate before the next crop is harvested, and the sugar Trust is trying to force a renewal at the same figures. The Hawaiian planters think that tbey ought to get a part of the benefits derived by the trusts through its importation of this sugar. Under the proposed schedule of the Dingley bill, this benefit will amount to oue and one ball ceuts per pound, this being the amount that the trut will have to pay on imports of suar from other coun tries. The Hawaiian planters have therefore refused to renew their contract with the trust uuless it is made at a fig nre which will give them a part of the cent and a halt which the trust will save by buying Hawaiian sugar. The Uland planters are now talking of crating an independent refinery at some point on the California const, and thus obtain all of the udvantagesol the tariff schedule for themselves.
