tie. If tbi legislature represents a
majority of tb people it would b per
fectly right for flovernor 1'oynter to

therefor Mr, Oinard will bav to com.
fort himself by repeating tb old phrase:
"Ho near, and yet so far." If a nmjor
ity of tb people bad roted for tb re-ln-
etatementof tbe old order of thing at
tbe statebonee, under those clrcum
stances it would be all right to donate
Mr. Oinard $125,000. What tb people
rote for they ought to bare. Old Hut

clencle to make good to tbe amount of
1180,78.1. To muke out tbat amount It

make tbe eyee of tbe war horse twinkle

THE STATE PRISON ItTAMP.

required all good manufactured by con
vict labor, whether working directly for

to become a law, but evoked a rery

As tb same question, and in fact tb
whole problem of penitentiary manage

state, and tb still more recant decision
of tb New York court of appeal upon
sucb legislation, is of iotereet to Nebras
ka reader,
Tb New York legislature of 1805, in
response to tb general demand of
labor organization for protection from
tbe competition of prison made goods:
passed tb following act:

Of tb making of parties under tbe

being practically unanimous la opposi

thought tbey could prevent two or three
hundred voter from rotlng the fusion
ticket by manufacturing a new party,
tbey were alway willing to pay five
hundred or A thousand dollar to get
enough signer to a petition so tbat
they could be put on tb official ballot.
In every part of tbe United Htate Mark

labor partie, referendum parties, in fact
any sort of a party tbat will keep
voters from rotlng against tbe gold
standard wbo will not rot tbe repnbli

from tbe enormous fund of tb money
power to get signers on petitions or
money for organization. These sharpers
seem to be able to fool eorn of tb peo

to turn one's stomach. Tuke that Home
