LINCOLN, : :
SCISSOKS DEPARTMENT.
A Discredited Cougres.
Congress has been iu session fifty days
and has absolutely wasted the time. It
is proposed to continue the waste of
time, except when the Dingley bill may
he actually up for consideration in either
house of eoDgress, At the close of each
congress a vast body of crude and undi
gested legislation Is pushed through.and
millions upon millions of dollars are ap
propriated without adequate time for
consideration. The excuse invariably
given when items of appropriation are
criticised is that there was such a pres
sure at the end of the session that due
consideration could not be given, and
that the whole mass bad to be forced
through without proper examination.
The fifty days that have been wasted
might well have been employed by the
committees, if not in passing bills, at
least In preparing and investigating the

Around Washington drawimr their pay
and absolutely neglecting their duties,
when everybody knows that at the end
of this congress millions will be wasted
and a vast amount of bad legislation
will be forced through under the pretext
that proper investigation end prepara
tion was impossible under the pressure
of business. It is the duty of congress to
spend all the time when It is in session
either in passing bills or in investigating
questions to come before the two houses
for action. Failing in that, congress
fails in a very plain duty.
We say that the exhibition which con
gress is now making of itself is not only
disgraceful, but is actuallv discrediting
the government and destroying the con
fidence which the poopleought to have in
their chosen representatives. Silver

Will Not Call a Conference.
Chairman Butler has appliee tho "Ref
erendum" to the matter of calling a con
ference in the nenr future, and out of
ninety-five replies received from the com
mittee, seventy-five are opposed to the
proposition. By this decisive majority
has the question been settled in an inex
pensive way by applying one of the prin
ciples of the party to the management
of the party itself. -Nonconformist.

Some of our republican exchanges are
denouncing the populist state officials
because ex-Treasurer Hartley was re

Sending food to starving Cu buns is not

The Lincoln Journal is very nnhnppy
these diiys. With a corps of the best
telent obtainable for the purpose it is
unable to discover anything to find fault
about in couuection with the work of the
late legislature that is anything that is
realy worth mentioning. After having
had to stand up for successive republi
can legislatures that gave the people the
worst of it from begining to end, it is
hard luck to have the hated pops come
iu and transact the state's business in a
way that gives practically no opportu
nity for kicking, when the poor old Jour
nal expected to have a picnic in showing
up their shortcomings. Madison Couuty

American farmer, Secretary Wilson is
now investigating why it is that we
must import 1,000,000 dozen eggs euch
year. 1 ntll we can procure aclnssof
hens that will lay eggs through the
winter season with the same .alacrity
with which our present ones proceed to
do business in early spring we shall
have to get a lurge supply of our eggs
elsewhere. At the same time there is a
lartfe field always open for the resources
of that man or woman who can coax
the hens to lay a goodly number of eggs
out of the regular season of flush su
plies Nub, Farmer.
The world's ingratitude to labor is
the worst of its wrongs. Its toilers are
ever upon the verge of outrage. The
compensation it pays industry is aikery,
low wages, coarse rainvnt, squalid
habitation nnd mean sustenance a
condition, the nursery for crime. The
burdens of society rest heavily upon
labor, Its greatest of benefactors and
curses and lashes nro the result of its
goodness. Why should this be? The
compensation of that which places a
palace above your head, a feast upon
your table, a robe upon your back, and
furnishes you with every necessity of
human effort, is treated with contempt
arid contumely. Labor should never be
satisfied or contented until it receives its
just reward. Columbus Argus.
Nebraska is blessed with a corps of
clean, able aud honest populist state
officials who are giving the people an
honest and economical administration.
They have procured the arrest of an ex
republican state treasurer on the charge
of robbing the state of half a million dol
lars or more of funds entrusted to his
care, and of an ei -republican auditor
who took $27,000 of the people' money
and invested it in Colorado silver mines,
Evidently here Is a republican who is not
altogether stuck on "sound money;"
possibly he wa afflicted with the"fiee
silver craze.". Under the rule of these
pop officials state bonds are being paid
off instead of allowing the money jobbers
to handle state money and reap a big
interest therefrom. State warrants,
that have in the past been trnfficed in by
state oHlecre. with state money and pur
posely kept at a discount, are . now at
par and are being rapidly taken up and
destroyed, and the interest on them
stoptifd. If this is " populistii; damna
tion" no doubt Missouri could stand a
little of the sam kind of nflliction. Peo
pel Messenger, Memphis, Mo.
The gold combine of New York and
London are at their old trick again.
They want more bonds and they will
endeavor to force a new issue or issues,
under McKinley's administration, as
they did under Cleveland's. They have
had millions of dollars worth of gold
lying idle for months in their vaults
which should have been earning for lliem
a fair and reasonable rate of interest,
but Shylock's greed has been so great
that the poor man could not touch it
without too great a sacrifice if at all.
Since May 1st 87,000,000 of gold has
been shipped by these scalpers to Lon
don. The game of see-saw has again
begun. It will continue until the $149,
000,000 of gold now in the twasnrv
shall be reduced to less thna the $100,.
000,000 limit, when McKinley will be
forced to issue a series of bonds. When
the crisis comes, as surely it must
McKinley will be given an oppor
tunity to meet it manfully and boldly or
meekly submit to the syndicate. Will
he befriend the people, or full into the
clutches of the sbylocks? Itemainsto

If the amended tariff bill passes in
stead of the Diugley bill, how will the
eastern manufacturers get buck the
money they gave to eh-ct McKinley?
The changes made iu the senate are
rather in the interest of the sent and
that is not McKinleyism. The east do
not like anything done for the west
only to tax them and hand the money
over to the east. How a western man
can favor any other tariff only a certain
per cent npou everything Imported we
cannot see and even then the east would
make dollars out of it where the west
would tiennies. The Dingley bill like the
McKinley bill will double the value of a
days work in Massachusetts without
raising the vulue of u duys work in Ne
braska one cent, then ou top of that
Nebraska must pay her share of the
raie iu Musachuel ts.
Thegoldbug paiers and the republi
can politicians are all shouting that
gold hus gone down since the Kold stand
ard hus been established iu Japan, And
there has been a decline, but not as
much as when India knocked silver out.
Every gold standard law that has been
made hus reduced the price of silver.
And yet nil the gold stundard republi
can editors and stump speakers will
swear by all that is left of high Heaven
that law has hud nothing to do with
the decline of sliver,
Now the old line republicans laugh at
us because some of our clerks tricked us
out of several reform laws pussed by the
last legislature. Of course those who
come over to us bring old party pro
clivities with them, and unless we can
discover some met hod of bleaching them,
we may expect republican tricks and
usage If we keep them under a half
million it will be doing well. (Jive us
time and we will wean them from wrong
doing. We wont make such men bank
receivers of other mens mouey.
It is all right to talk about a "new
gulf road" but unless it can be a gov
ernment road it will do us no good. If
eastern men and eastern capital ore to
control it, it will lv controlled in the in
terests of New York and we all know
what that means, the west shake the
tree and the east pick up the apples.
Com has been selling in Mexico for one
dollar a bushel and wheat in propor
tion but the freight aud tariff just about
use up the margin. The Mexicans have
got the McKinley high tariff on the
brain, and yet thousands of bushels of
Nebraska corn has been shipped end
sold there during the lust year.
The European war seems drawing to
a close. The unspeakable Turk will
probably gain a good slice of Grecian
territory. How the Christian nations
can stand by and tee the most savage
and uncivilized nation of Europe make a
human slaughter house of her territory
Is more than we can conjecture. All'
Europe bows to the Turk because he
holds the dardeunelles. They allsecm to
prefer to perpetuate tho Inhuman Turk
rather than run the risk of Idissia get
ting the free navigation of the Block Sea
outlet.
The Cuban war still rages, Iet the
Spanish tell tho story "all is quiet in
Cuba" while at the same time the most
outrageous treatment is dished up to
the native Cubuns. The only reason
why Samuel does not put li s finger in
the pie is New York millionaires hold
some of the Spanish bonds aud they
would decline in price if Cuba should
gain her independence of Spain. Money
rules in this country from top to bot
tom, The people no more govern thuu
does the queen of England. McKinley is
president but Wall street is president ol
presidents.
Tho six Nebraska wars are no nearer
peuce than they were one week ago.
The university studeutsdo notacquiessu.
Wolf's dismissal still chafes. An armis
tice has been declared in the Lincoln
city war. The mayor and marshal!
claimed the right to decide what laws
should be enforced and what trampled
under foot. The new excise board gave
them the choice of enforcing all the laws
or u chief with police to back him would
be uppoiuted. They promised to clean
up the dirty places and now all is quiet,
waiting for court injunctions. The
Beatrice feeble minded war is still raging
and is likely to be a bad smelling thing.
We have lived through several such at
Nebraska City, Lincoln, Norfolk, Grand
Island and so on round; we may live
through these. The Omaha war begins
to look red. The old mayor claims the
new charter void and also that the
newly elected mayor is void lscause he
defaulted the small sum of fifty thous
and. Court injunctions are anxiously
waited for ou both sides.
It is a violation of modern political
faith for any Nebraskau to object to a
maus taking an office because he de
faulted in a public trust. If it should be
decided that defaulters are not eligible
w here would the republicans go to get
men to (ill their ticket? Defaulters are
all right for national bunk receiver.
Hartley's bank has busted and why not
make him receiver, though pcrh&isi
there are not aets enough to tempt
him. The prud. nt, far seeing republican
