It is hinted that if the supreme conrt sets aside the maximum freight law that the governor will call an extra session of the legislature. Hope be wont call the clerks and yet the Journal thinks the solid republican legislature of New York, clerks and all, have acted the fool more completely than ours did. So misery has company. The New York legislature has betn touching up the dead rich men again by raising the inheritance tax; or rather more than doubling it. They have also adopted a graduating scale so that the larger the estate the higher the per cent of tax. If Vanderbilf, Rockefeller, or Astor should di tomorrow the state would get twenty or thirty millions tax on their estates. Now tbey feur all the rich men will leave New York but where will they go. Ohio and other easttrn states have driven them to New York. New York aud Nebraska are states of refuge for criminals. There is no coun try ou earth where they are more safe. Tbeygoscott free and are made into receivers and mayors. It the Lincoln police would look after the saloons and gambling as sharply as they do after bicycle riders they would accomplish much good, If our streets and walks were as narrow as in 1! oh ton there might follow great inconvenience in permitting wheels on the walk but from the fact that a single sidewalk in Lincoln is wider than their whole, street including both walka there can not fol low any very, serious inconvenience or damage. ., -' , ,,; .. The state doctors are in consultation in Lincoln this week. The main ques tion to be decided is bow to get larger fees. Laws must be passed to shut out all doctors better qualified so as to give the old methods a fair show. Three or four times the charges of forty years ago is not enough even though the dollars do buy twice as much. Doctors, bank- era and manufacturers must have special legislation in order to stand up with the farmer. We are heart sick to see the United States and the "powers of Europe stand by and see Spaiu murder the Cub ans and Turkey murder the Greeks. The Spaniards aud Turks are two classes of men who deserve cnoking down, leav ing humanity out, the United States has a right to say to Spain as she did to France in 1805, keep your soldiers at home and if the Spaniards in Cuba can't bold the Island let Cubans have it. This nonsense has got to stop. The Beatrice feeble minded war still rages. The republicans can't laugh to any advantage at all, for tbey had two or three such wars with their own men. Dr. Matheson would not go out. The governor slipped in at the back door while the doctor was out on the front steps and locked bun out Thus the bloody chasm was bridged. If justice and the common people are to rule in tne country they must nan it together. The name of the parlVibhould cut no figure. A democratic and a peo pie's ticket mean thut Massachusetts and .New York will rule. I he day for com mon sense is at hand and if the masses of common people have run out of that article then a change for the better is im possible. We might as well crown gold king of tne united states curl up and only breath till we die. But we look for a more harmonious fight than we made in 1806 for most assuredly our cause has not lost power or popularity since then. As the democratic barn burners, the wooly head whins, free soilers and abolition ists joined forces in 1856 so must there lie a union in 1900. We want justice in law and trust in government aud not in party names. We want the east taxed to help the west as much as the west is taxed for the east. We want no law for classes or callings. Equality before the law is our oil; demand. This we mean to have and it the east kick over the traces as the south did we will give them the same meuiciue.

DEALERS IN- House Furnishing goods BAYARD & QUERIST, Lincoln, Bleb. fact is the east has got the west and south by the throat and they will never let go only through blood. As long as both great parties were for the east there was no danger lor it mattered not winch was in poer the east got all they wanted. The protective tariff is an eastern measure: It cannot be made to help the price of wheat, corn, beef, pork or cotton. ho ever heard of a wheat or cotton trust? a beef or pork trust? There have been corners but only to last for a raon'h or so. And yet a ray of ' hope does glimmer once in a while. The fuct that Carl Shurr and Wanaiuaker have declared in no uncertain terms, for a chance in republi can doctrine and policy shows that the ' We asked John Ames a democratic, cold bug lawyer, what effect would it have upon the price of property to gath er in nil the greenbacks, treasury notes and silver certificates, by the issue of bond, and burn them. The answer was "property would go still lower". We asked it. K. Moore, a republican gold buir money loaner and the answer whs the same. Iess money, lower pricps for property and labor are the very things the ruling powers of America want and there are a few Nebraskaus who want to stand with the ruling mouey governing class. Who does not see the irrepressible con flic which is now raging between cor porations, monopolies, trust and money wealth ou one side and the great toiling ing masses and property wealth on the other. Aud who does not know that all these feeders upon the earnings of the common people are all found in one psrty and are all fighting to one end, Mu ins and Dixona old line in this con ll.ct is the east line ol Ohio, milking that state.

The silver republicans have. left their party lor good, now the pros- j perity hunters are scrainUlins? over the party fence in still greater num bers. The fight against the Dingley' tariff biii iu the senate shows that the east is not going to get all she wants. lirvan s letter of thelotb virtually shuts the door in the faces of the gold demo crats.
