The attention of our readora 1 called
to tbe article entitled "Land, Tranepor

Wilbur I'. Dryant. It will be found on

Since tbe United Btab haa aunt tha

Franca and England bnva decided to fol
low a aimilar oouraa and have mat war
ahlpa on a aimilar trip to Havana.
Senator A lion ha secured a favorable
ranort from tha senate committee on
public building recommending tbe pur
chase of rlto And erection of govern
root building at II tutting and Nor
folk. Tbey will pas tha aunata within

Senator Allen haa Introduced an
amendment to tha piiriHion approprla-
tion bill providing that hereafter no pen

granted and that all for leea than that
amount at th present tlma ahall ba
raised to that amount.
Editor Cheney of tha North I'lotta In
depondont Era, draw a plctura last
week of tha performances of tha Gothen
burg Power and Irrigation company
which, after refusing to pay ita taxes for
four yaara Anally offered to pay 0,000
to aottla f 17,800 taxee M cent on tha
dollar. Tha atock ia moMtly bold In tha
east and tha offer waa mada by one of
tba eustern stockholder.
Mr, J. II. KdmlMttn, state oil Inspoo
tor baa collected sufficient fitee for tha
iuspectlon of oil to pay all tha expenses
of tha oil department and haa turned
tba balance of f 1,800 over to Treasurer
Moaorve. Aa Mr. Hilton, tb republican
oil Inspector, left a holeqf 15,000, it will
be awn that Mr. Ed mi ton must bar

It la the uaual difference between an hon
eat and a dishonest public official.
A few weeks ugo we luurned from tli
auwoclated prose dispatches that a lot 0
atudonta wore exiled from Htanford Uul
varsity for oelutrating a foot-bull victory
with drunken orgies In Ban Francisco.
The Nebraska method of doaiingwitb
auch cases is illustrated by a reoentexeo
ntlvs order from the bend of our state
University. It , seems that one of the
college pajiers published by the students
of tha University commented on tha
I'rlnceton Inn affair which haa caumd
anch a commotion in the country. The
article concluded with some uncompli
mentary remarks upon the moral at
tnospher of Lincoln "where we haveu't
one grill room only to got rid of Instead
of a town full ol saloons and vicious
reaortaol all kinds." Another para
graph referred to the disgraceful betting
on th college campua during the lata
foot-ball gam between Kansas aud
Nebraska, aud to "the Thaukeglvlug
Jamboree in Omaha" in honor of the
victory over Iowa. It waa Implied that
om etudeuta of tha Nebraska I'ulver

oeived by Secretary Porter in the puet
year. Tba appropriation made by tb
legielature of 1807 for tha office of wc
rotary of atata during the eoauing two
year were theee:
For aalarlea 115,800
For office aipenaoa ... 2,500
Total H,800
It will lie een that all tha expeneea of
tba aecretary of atate'a office for tba en
tire term for which Mr. Porter waa
elected have already been paid from tba
recelpta of tba office and over f 200 be-
Idee turned Into tba atata treoaury
There will be turned Into tba treoaury
during Mr, Porter'e term from tba opera-
tlonaof tba office ol tha aeoretaryof
tat in tb neighborhood of 5,000 over
and boyond tha entire coat of conduct
ing the offiee,
Thla result baa been brought about
without any hardebip to any one or In
Jury to any elaea In the atate. It aitnply
connlnU in tha tranafur of tha expenaa of
conducting the office from the taxpayer
to the. corporation who avail tbera
aelvea of tb atate'a powerain order to
organlta and couduot bueinea. The fee
for incorporating I graduated accord
ing to th amount of capital stock, not
high enough to mnk It prohibitory for
any, but enough to make th groat cor-
porationa contribute a reasonable
amount toward tha expense of atate
govornmunt. Under tba old law which
haa been on tha atatute booka of Ne
braska for yaara t bexe corporations con
trl luted practically nothing for the prl v
llnge of incorporating. For example,
the Union Paclflo would have paid nn
dor tha old law f 4.50 Into the state
treaeury instead of $18,600. The total
reoelpta by Hecretary of State Piper, Mr.
Porter a predecessor, were a little more
than $1,000 for hi two years term.
Tha change in tba vystem is due to
Secretary Porter and a populist legisla
ture. Boon after taking possession of
the office a bill providing substantially
for the new schedule of fees was drawn
np in Mr. Porter's office. It was intro
duced by Kenator Farrell in the senate
aud llepreaentative Kheldon In the bouse
on Feb. 16th. The bouse bill passed
March 0th and was sent to the senate
where it was conelu(Ud that, tba safest
plan to avoid objections to tha title waa
to divide tha bill Into two part and pas
it aa two bills. Tbia waa dona and Hen-
ate File 287 and House Roll 470 passed
the annate March 22nd, and were signed
by Gov. Holcomb March 80th. Several
rge corporations got wind of the bills
d rushed in their articles while they
pending before the legislature.
withstanding this, the receipt under
iwo 1
bills have made the Secretary of
s office st'lf-sustaiulng and will con
ta a handsome sum toward paying
he burden of debt which tins aoouin-

placed upon the court's action. That i
that th decision is agreed upon, but
that the great railroad Interests involved
are holding it back until it is too lata
for the legislature to be called ia extra
session to pats another maximum rata
law in case the present one be thrown
out by the court. The only poin
upon which the case is pending is whether
the freight rates fixed. by tha legislature
of 1803 are reasonable or not. It they
are not reasonable (in tba view of tha
supreme court) it becomes a legislative
duty to frame a scbedula that ia reason
able. It is known that Gov. Holcomb
bas been strongly disposed to summon
the legislature in extra session incase
the supreme court should pronounce the
reduction In rates made by the legisla
ture In 1803 too radical. There haa
been great norvousne In Nebraska
railroad circles over tb outcome of an
extra legislative session. It I possible
these influences have been at work to
bold back the decision. Stranger things
have happened in the history of oourta
It la time tbe people of Nebraaka
knew what tba supreme court is going
to do wltb the maximum act. Five
years ia long enough for a case of auch
magnitude to be held In court suspense,
Now that tbe vacancy Is tilled on the
supreme bench we have certainly tbe
right to look for an early decision.

WOLCOTl Vi. OAOK.
In thaaeuata last week Mr. Wolcott,
of Colorado attempted to defend the
course of President McKiulcy and as
sorted that McKlnley favors I u torn a-
tional bimetallism. Ha stated that
Secretary (iage'e viewa on finance do
not accord with those of the president.
In this position Mr. Wolcott is not sup
ported by tbosepapoia which are re
garded as ''administration papers.
lb Washington Evening Star comment
ing on tha matter says; "Mr. Gage
represents tbe financial branch of the
administration and will prrobably con
tinue to do so," and tbaf'ha (Mr. Gage)
waa before the house committee 00
Danking and currency as a representa
tive of tba administration, sustaining
bis proposition forcurrency reform bastd
on tba continuance of tbe gold stand
ard." To prove tbe correctnesa of ita
position and that no difference of opln
ion exists between President McKlnley
and bis secretary, tbe Star continues
'It was supposed that this question was
seiuefl wnen Mr. Uatra Indicated to the
president that ha would retire from the
cabinet if his position on the money
Question was embarrassing to the preei
ent, and the president a-sured him that
no embarrassment existed."
This much is certain. Mr. Gage is in
favor of the single gold standard. He
waa appointed and ta continued in oftce
by the power ol President McKioW.i If
Mr, McKlnley Is in favor of a different
financial policy from that which Is being
pursued be alone has the power to
chahge it. Until be exercises that power
to change the present poliey be most be
regarded as giving it Li indorsement.
The Omaha Ike ays the remedy for
present distress and reduction of wanes
a the cotton manufacturing industry is
the "extension of our trade abroad.'
11 uuo uhiihto iu me way to secure
1. 1 ! ( a m m
better wages for American labor is to go
out into the markets of tbe world to set
n competition, not only with the opera
tives in England and Oerinuny. but with
Japanese, Chinese and Hindoos, Not a
word about an honest system of ex
change by which the American farmers
and other Industrial workers of this
country would be able to exchange
their own labor for tbs products of the
cotton mills. There are thousands of
homes this very day in Nebraska whose
occupants would gladly exchange th
product of their labor for those ol
the workers in tbe New England cotton
mills. And the joy in New England
homes would be equal If tbs xrhang
could be made. There Is a market In
America to day for the products ol our
milts. Hut th market is clowd by the
system ol monopoly which r'ss enor
mous profits from manufacture and dis
tribution. 80 lung aa as do business
under that system tha market will re

FATE or A
LI CAM
Tbe turning down of M. A. Drown, ed
itor of tbe Kearney Hub, for the Kear
ney postofflce, and the appointment of a
former Union Pacific employer, who waa
not an applicant for tbe place, haa ere
ated some surprise in orthodox republi
can circle and a good deal of wrath In
th soul of Editor Drown and bla
friends.
There is no occasion for surprise to
those who know all the facts, however
It la true that M. A. Brown Is a forceful
vigorous writer. It is true that be baa
been for twenty yaara one of tbe most
active and influential republican editors
In tbe atate, serving bl party, as only an
editor can, fighting the populist move
ment with relentless and Irrational teal
sacrificing bis own principles to prove
bia loyalty to tha party in whoa service
bia life bad been spent and never asking
an office until now. 13ut another thing
la true, Drown ia a free silver man
Tbia may seem strange for a supporter
of tha gold standard party fa 1806 and
In fact there ia neither logic nor reason
In It, but it ia true, During all those
years wnlle supporting tbe republican
ticket tbe editor of the Hub baa been an
advocate of the free coinage of silver
In 1802 at tbs republican sixth district
congressional convention atChadron, at
which James Whitehead waa nominated
against Kem, Drown introduced a reso
lution pledging tha nominee to vote for
tba free coinage of ail ver. It was voted
down by a large majority, but Drown
was not discouraged. Two years later,
tha republicans met at Droken Dow and
nominated Matt Dauuhertr. Drowa
wrote tbe platform which was adopted
tbia time. That platform created an
uproar of horse laughter wherever it was
read. It bad one plank denouncing
Grover Cleveland and tba democratic
party for tbe "crime of 1803" In demon
etizing silver and another pledging the
republican candidate to vote for free
coinage! And the worst of tbe joke was
that Drown actually meant it.
When McKlnley waa nominated and
tba gold platform adopted at St. Louis
In 1800 It waa a strong dose for Drown,
How he ever managed it no one knowa
but himself and bia own conscience, and
some there are who insist that the latter
bad no part in the transaction. He got
tbe dose down and supported the ticket,
but be didn't get the Kearney postofflce.
Not with twenty years service charging
the enemy's breast works. Not with a
nost 01 warm personal mends and a
tring of endorsements as long as a
lariat. lie met tbe fate of J. D. Cal
boun, of Lincoln, who worked the solea
off bis shoes and windows in tbe eibowa
of his coat in the service of the demo
cratic party, supported GroverCleveland
for president, asked for the Lincoln post-
office and was thrown over the transom.
be bottom fact in both these cases ia
tha same. Free silver men are not
waoted by either the Cleveland or Mc
Klnley wing of the moneyed oligarchy,
who are organizing things at Washing
ton.
WILL THEY TAKE IT BACK T
The republican press has had much to
say about the attitude of the New York
Journal concerning tbe nomination of
Mr. Dryan for presldont in 1000, The
Nebraska State Journal, and many
others of its kind, has asserted that tbe
great New York daily, tbe New York
ournal, bad turned its bank upon Mr.
Dryan and did not favor bim for presi-
entin 1000. They were diligent in
epreuding this infamous falsehood. As
we stated to our readers last week, the
article in the New York Journal, to
which the State Journal and other re
publican papers referred was a commun
ication a signed article written by Mr.
Arthur MoEwen, a Tammany democrat,
nd was not the opinion of the New
York Journal. Sinoe that the New
York Journal has clearly defined ita po
sition. It has not changed its attitude
in th least. It i not "unfriendly" or
antagonistic" to Mr, Uryaa. It sup
ported Mr. Dryan In 10(1 and will sup

A to tbe oosition of the Journal on
the subject of Mr. Dryan, the matter Is
simplicity itself. The Journal supported
Mr. Bryan in 1800 because be wuatha
regular nomine of the democratic na
tional convention. It will support bim
in 1000, or anybody else who may oc
cupy the sams position. It supported
Mr. Van WycV Inst year forsimlliar
reasons. The Journal is not and never
was either a Dryan pais-r or a Van
Wyek paper. It Is a democratic paper,
It remains to bo seen whether the Ne,
braska State Journal, aud other repub
lican papers of its Ilk, will have the hon
esty to correct their false and misleading
statements, and whether they will en
doovor to give the "editorial" as wide
circulation aa tbey did tbe "communion
tion." Do you think tbey all have tbe
honesty to take back tbofr lying state
ments? Never. It ia not their kind of
politice.
JUDGE STABK VINDICATED.
Washington Post replies editorially to
tba accusation of tha Star.
In ajwaking of tha attack of tba Wash
ingtou Star (gold democrat) on Judge
Stark, for urging tba pension claim 0
Mrs. Cbeney of Saundera county, tbe
Washington Poet (republican) of Janu
ary 18, baa tbia to say, editorially:
"Abuse of congressmen because they
have endeavored to secure early action
on pension claims of their constituents is
unjustifiable, and, tborefore, uncalled
for. So long as a congressman asks for
no violation or straining of law, bu-
con fines bia effort in the matter of pen
sions to a fair presentation of facts, bis
activity may justly be attributed to
good motfvea. There Is nothing wrong,
nothing that la not really commendablo,
in asking tbe Pension Dureau to take up
a puiticularly meritorious cose out of its
turn. If a congressman knowa that an
applicant, a soldier, or soldior'e widow,
Is In distress, suffering for tba necessar
ies of a decent existence, be doee a manly
thing in writing or going or Bonding bis
secretary to the Pension Dureau to ask
that tbe cose be expedited. There are
thousands of applicants who can wait
for tbe adjudication of their coses with
out serious inconvenience, ihere are
thousands of pensioners, many of them
of tbe most deserving class, having an
empty sleeve or a wooden leg, who would
never have known want had thoir coun
try denied them a pension, Dut many
of the pensioners are very poor, and
many of those who now have applica
tions on filo are In destitute circurn
stances. Should a congressman be
abused as a public enemy if, when one of
these poor creatures aska bis aid in get
ting early consideration of his or her
case, be promptly complies with the re
quest?
The time bas been when many of the
leading statesmen In both bouses of con
gress have madn a specialty of attending
to the requests of the veterans in rela
tion to pensions. Does anybidy think
the worse of Johu A. Loguu aud Daniel
W. Voorbees because they were active in
behalf of pension claimants? Did the
people of their respective states blame
tbem, or did their national reputation
suffer by reason of such activity?
Tbe Post bos no doubt that there are
too many names on the pension roll. It
has no doubt that congress bas been too
liberal in special pens'oa legislation, and
it believes that the g antral pennion act
of 1 800 opened the door for thousands
of the undeserving to get their names
on the roll. It believes, too, that thou
sands of the undeserving have taken ad
vantage of that act; that thousands who
were not injured iu the service, and are
quite able to make a good living, are
drawing pensions on tbe ground that
they are not able to support themselves
'by manual labor." Dut all this should
not be (termitted to work to the lojury
of meritorious applicants- Tbe legislat-
ve inistukes of congress cannot be reme
died by reckless declamation ngniust the
(tension roll or by aesailing congressmen
for givlug kiud attention to appeals
from tSs old soldiers aud their widows
to expedite action on their claims.
