Thomas Brackett Reed has gone to join the great majority of speakers.

The vice president Is only a splendid figurehead. Sly old Ben Franklin. In the institutional convention, humorously proposed that the vlco president should be styred "his superfluous highness." He can't appoint bis committees, ne simply presides und waits for a dead man's shoes and most generally waits in vain. Only four of that, tribe ever got what they waited for John Tyler. Millard Killmore. Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur but the chance of beir.s president Is to the average statesman well worth taking, for on the average it Is one out of seven. But. bless your soul, the speaker of the house is a pow er In the land! lie appoints commit tees, especially the committee on rules. "The five czars," so called, of which he is chief. Is for all practical purposes lilmself the committee on rules, there by shaping and selecting legislation, molding a mighty state's decrees. To this blgb estate lias the canny, brawny. Itolg hearted Scot from Iowa come. 'Monday, Dec. 4, 1S99, is the red letter day in the calendar of the bouse of Henderson. No higher can he go. for the constitution precludes bis being president because be was born beyond the seas, so be will strive the harder to win Imperishable renown In the speak er's chair by endeavoring to be the . best speaker in the flood of time. Organizing- the House. This is the way it was done: In the bonse, newly garnished, painted and carpeted, the galleries filled with the 'beanty and the chivalry of the land IMaJor Alexander McDowell of Penn sylvanla. by reason of being clerk of the last house he Is clerk of this one also calls the house to order and in rites the blind chaplain. Rev. Mr. Cou don, to offer prayer, which being done the roll Is called, and Major McDowell says, "A quorum being present the election of a speaker is now In order," whereupon General Henderson and others are placed in nomination. The roll Is calh-J again, resulting, as every body knew it would, in General Hen aeraoD election. He Is escorted to the chair amid great applause and band clapping and delivers bis Inau gnral before be Is sworn In. Then he takes the oath, after which be ad ministers It to the other members and to the delegates. Then the ether effl ccrs are elected In a bunch by a viva voce rote. Then committees are ap pointed to notify the president and aenate that "the bonse la organized and ready for business." Theu the draw fng for seats takes place. Then be gins the work of "the long session" of the Fifty-sixth congress, which in all human probability is destined to make a great deal of history perhaps make a president or two, who knows? Drawing For Seats. The bouse Is a rectangle, the length from east to west much exceeding the breadth from north to sooth. The speaker's stand Is at the middle of the sooth wall. The members sit In semi circular rows. In comfort the situation of the member's chair counts for much and has something not much to do with his prominence. Of coarse a good position directly or nearly directly In front of the speaker enables a member to "catch the speaker's eye" more eas ily than one In the wings. By imme morial asage the bonse Is divided Into equal parts, called the Democratic and the Republican sides, by a wide aisle running from the large doors te the foot of the speaker's stand. The Demo crats sit to the speaker's right as they ought to do. while the Republicans sit upon bis left The modus operandi Is as follows: The clerk makes, np the roll as It Is called alphabetically and num bers It from 1 to 3W), both Inclusive. Three hundred and sixty balls num bered In the snrae way are placed In a box. The members go outside the rill ing and await their Inck In feverish anxiety. A blindfolded boy reaches into-the box am) draws out a ball. One oicrk looks at It and announces the number. Another clerk announces the raiue of, the member with the same number, and In he walks and selects the unoccupied scat that suits him best Generally, though not always, the ex speakers and the members, one on each side, oldest In service are per mitted to choose scats without draw ing. This courtesy Is also sometimes extended to one leged men or Inva lids. The overflow members In this cats 13 from the majority stt on the same side with the minority In the ex treme outer wws-ci late years called "the Cherokee strip." A Chapter From History. v That the bouse of representatives sometimes acts in a most unseemly manner In the closing days of the nine teenth century must be confessed, but that we behave worse than they did In the early time I utterly deny. In fact, I am free to maintain that the world Is growing better, the chronic and plaguy -pessimist to the coutrary notwithstanding. The following ex cerpt from the history of the mint shows that our forefathers sometimes got their dander up to a high pitch on small provocation: Previous to the coinage of silver do! lars at the Philadelphia mint in 1794 the following amusing incidents occur red in congress while the emblems and devices proposed for their ornamenta tlon were being discussed: A member of the house from the south bitterly opposed the choice of the eagle on the ground of its being the "king of birds" and hence neither prop er nor suitable to represent a nation whose institutions and Interests were wholly Inimical to monarchical forms of government. Judge Thatcher in re ply playfully suggested that perhaps a goose might suit the gentleman, as it was rather a humble and republican bird and would also be serviceable in other respects, as the goslings would answer to place upon the dimes. This reply created considerable mer riment, and the Irate southerner, con slderlng the humorous rejoinder an in suit sent u challenge to the Judge, who promptly declined it The bearer, rather astonished, asked. "Will you be brand ed as a coward r "Certainly. If he pleases," replied Thatcher. "I always was one, and he knew it or he would never have risked a challenge." The affair oecasioued much mirth, but iinally cordial relations were re stored, the Irritable southerner con eluding there was nothing to be gained In fighting one who tired nothing but jokes. Lose Majesty. As the old lady remarked when she heard the ustonudiug Information that the cow hud eaten the grindstone, "1 told you so." 1 forewarned you that Imperialism would bring us to prose cutions for the crime of leze majesty. Young William of Hchenzollern will laugh to snicker when he reads our late papers and discovers that we have adopted his imperial fad and that In Washington as well as in Berlin men are punished for leze majesty. The kaiser will not Incorrectly conclude that we are coming on rather rapidly. In this opinion he will be joined by Mr. Noble E. Dawson, late a clerk In the war department, now out in the cold, cold world, the first victim of leze majesty in America pince the fall of old John Adams at high noon March 4, 1S01. Mr. Dawson talked not wisely. bnt too freely, and now be is minus a salary of $13)0. As the boys say, "He is on bis uppers." As our Teutonic friends have It. Mr. Dawson is "ansge- spielt." The gravamen of Mr. Daw son s onense lies in some piqusnt re- , marks of which he delivered himself touching President McKInley. Here is a sample: "1 trust that when the wise and patriotic administration gets back from Its swing around campaign, hav ing shown the bucolic voter that It was McKInley wbo caused the bountiful crops to grow, salted the Klondike with a wealth of golden nuggets and fur nished employment (in the Philippines! to our uuoccupied needy, you will, un daunted by the specter so aptly limned by the poet In bis luminous phase, 'The Dewey skirted clouds, unlike the sun,' again tackle the colonial postal mat ter." Now that's gorgeous rhetoric. It's verbal richness. It's skyscraping elo quence, but most unfortunately for poor Dawson it was addressed to Hon. Charles Emory Smith, postmaster gen eral, who ia not only an Imperialistic shooter, bnt a McKInley incense swing er of the most pronounced order. Charles Emory didn't enjoy having fun poked at bis Joss, though It was done in higbfalntln style. Ergo. Mr. Noble E. Dawson, late clerk in thenar de partment, made himself amenable to the pains and penalties of our new un written law lex non scripts against leze majesty and Is unceremoniously bounced 1. e.. lined $1,200 per annum tor speaking disrespectfully of the pres ident while General Kgan Is reworded by being paid about fG.OOO per annum for upeaking dlsrespecfully of General j Nelson A. Miles. Why Is It thusly? Why this distinction? Does leze maj esty In tMs land of the free (sic) and home of the brave depend upon whose ox Is gored? It really nppenrs that way to a looker on In Vienna. Wonder If the shade of old John Adams and the ghost of the old alien and sedition laws never visit these recent Invokcrs of a law of lew majesty which has never been written or enacted? By what authority was Dawson bounced? What crime bad lie committed? Whith er, oh. whither bas gone nnr soulful civil service reform sysleni? May we not sprat; our wntimcnis for fear of being bebeuded? Is gorgeous rhetoric to le canse for official death? Don't we all know that Mark snjj Me. did make the crops grow and ild place that gold In the Klondike? Didn't the Republicans carry the fall elections on that very platform? Alas, poor Daw son: Information For Letter Writers. Ever newspaper In the United States of Amerifa. without regard to party alflllations. would confer n arc-it favor on Its renders as well as npon its senators and representatives in congress by copying the foliowfng sug gestions: 1. In writing to a senator, address him. "United Btates Senate Chamber. Washington, D. C."." It. In writing to a representative, addrer him, "House of Kopnscntativcs, Wash ington. D. C." 3. In that way senators mi representatives will receive onr I letters, for the senate and bouse each has Its own postoiilce. 4. If a writer addresses his senator or representa tive ct bis residence or boarding house, be Is liable to miss him, as he may have changed bis local habitation. In deed Hon. John C. Tarsuey once told me that "a congressman or senator ought to change bis boarding bouse once a month in order to obtain the best results in grub and service." Whether that be true or not, the postoffices of house and senate are fixed facts. Immovable and reliable, while the pri vate residence Is transitory, evanes cent changeable, uncertain. 5. An ap plicant for a pension in writing to a senator or representative ought al ways to give In every letter or postal card the number of bis or her claim. As there are about 80U.000 claims pending In the pension office, no re quest either verbal or In writing, will be considered by the pension office unless number of claim Is given. The applicant by giving number of claim In every letter or postal to representa tive or senator insures prompt action and saves the representative or sena tor the time and trouble to write back to applicant for number of claim and saves applicant the time and trouble and expense of answering such letter of inquiry. 1 repeat that every news paper in the United States ought to copy the foregoing paragraph, not be cause of Its elegance or brilliancy and not because of love for me, but be cause It will save all concerned time, trouble and money. All senators and senators' clerks, representatives and representatives' clerks aud all persons who have any correspondence with senators or representatives, especial! on subject of pensions, ought to rise up and call me blessed for writing the aforesaid paragraph. In a former letter 1 stated that this session was certain to last till do days, perhaps till Jack Frost puts in his appearance next fail. The Money Fill. Governments of some sort must be provided for Porto Rico. Guam and Hawaii unless congress inteuds to ab solutely and pusillanimous!? abdicate Its constitutional functions. 1 take it that no considerable number of our poople are In favor of a military sa trapy except perhaps the satraps and their clientele; also we must in the very nature of things prepare a governmen tal machine for the Philippine Islands If we Intend lioldiug on to them. All these will be measures of most serious Import to the American people. They will both deserve and receive thorough debate I. e.. unless the gag is applied by tbe committee on rules and a cut and dried programme is railroaded through, as was done so often In tbe Fifty-fifth congress. 1 do not how ever, believe that snch a caper can be cut this time, for the Republican ma jority Is too small, being only 13. They may have the disposition, but not the power. In addition to all the aforementioned extra work there will be tbe Atlantic City money bill for consideration. against whose passage Hon. John M Thurston of Nebraska and Hon. Wil liam E. Chandler lift up their clarion voices In warning, but for whose pite ous pleadings the Hugh H. Hanna gang care nothing absolutely nothing. That It will precipitate an acrimonious and long drawn out debate there can be no question unless the committee on rules uses its despotic power to stifle free speech In the house, but in this Instance the house may sunitnon up enough courage to defy "the five czars" as it did In the Fifty-third congress on the memorable occasion when tbe com mlttee on rules undertook to force con- sideration of tbe Carlisle bond bilL Surely there must be a few Republican representatives from the west who will not be willing to be led to tbe slaughter, as tbey will be If they vote for that bill. Enough of them to de- res i consideration may bave courage enough to defy the machinery of tbe bouse and to give us the victory. Democrats will welcome a discussion of the Atlanlic City bill, for it broad ens the fnaucla3 Issue of which tbe free and unlimited coinage of silver nj never been wore than a part an Important part, It Is true, bnt only a p;irt nevertheless and places it npon the high plane on which Andrew Jack win fought and won bis decisive battle with the old Hank of the United States. J'lie chances are that on this bill Den- oeiats can get together and present a solid front to the cohorts of Mammon. If they lo. victory will perch upon t!;eir banner both In conzress and at tbe elections in 1000. It may be. also, that some conscien tious and enthusiastic civil service re former will Introdnce a resolution look ing to an Investigation 0f the gross and flagrant violation of thoso rules In or der to furnish Mark IJanua the boodle with which to boy the Ohio election. It appears to me that a resolution to In vestigate the civil service commission ers themselves for dereliction of duty would be a proper caper, for tribute was levied upon government employees right under tbe noses of tbe commis sion In broad daylight. Notwithstand ing President McKlnley's fall from grace on the civil service qnestlon, there most be some genuine, honest, courageous reformers left If so, It Is high time they were making the fact manifest. It may be that the commis sion will go through with the condemn ed performance of locking the barn after the burstt Is stolen by getting on thetr ear now and raiding a row after Banna's ngents levied enough black mail to purchase the Ohio elections. A civil service reform debate In the djiiine m tbe near future woeld most certain ly coatribntc largely to the gaycty of nations. POLITICAL UPS AXD DOWNS.

Eighty-nine counties reported total ballots cast amounting to 219,760; Keith county failed to report, but estimating the bal loss cast there at 494. would make the total vote of the state 220,254. Holcomb received 109,320 and Reese 94,213, a total of 203,53'1, giving Holcomb a ma jority of 15,107. Exactly 16,721 voters failed to express their preference for supreme judge. Teeters received 101,194, Rich 96,202, Ely 04,411, McGilton 90,464, Smith 5,- owi), and f itch 4.4J7. Teeters has a ma jority of 10,730 over McGilton, and 0,783 over Ely. Rich has a majority of 7,738 over McGilton and 1,791 over Ely. The average majority for Rich und Teeters is 0,1'liU. 1 he total vote on recentais hard to determine, except by averages; 196,202 is about tho correct figure, or 24,052 less than tho total ballots cast. Ely runs ahead of Reese, while Teeters locks 8,12b of kecnimr up with Holcomb. The average fusion vote on judge and regenta is 102,239, averago republican vote 93,029, giving an average fusion ma jority of 9,210. There is however. 'silent ' vote averaging 20.387. men who did not vote the state ticket: the aues tion is, to whjch party did most of these belongr The newspapers in the "effete east" get most of their political information as regards Nebraska from very unreliable sources it seems. Few of them have a proper conception of Nebraska polities, caused undoubtedle by tho sensation mongers who act as their representa tives. Recently the New York Evening Post a leading anti administration paper, said regarding the Nebraska elec tion: "It now looks as though there publicans might havo carried the state, after all, if they had not pitted a weak candidate against tho strongest fusion- ist tor bead of the ticket Tho Nor wich, Connecticut Bulletin quotes this and says: "If the republicans of Ne braska had been led by such a man as Governor Shaw of Iowa, upon such a record as his, neither state pride nor the utmost efforts of Bryan to show per sonal strength at home could have saved the fusionista. Both Judge Reese and Fred White entered their respective campaigns with an undoubted adverse majority staring them in the face, except that Reese had better prospects of overcoming the ma jority against him, it being smaller. It is true that several thousand republi cans did not vote for Judge Reese be cause they were bitterly opposed to their party's leaning toward militarism and imperialism; they were not quite ready to abandon their party: hence. they did not voto for Judge Holcomb. lint, had the republican candidate for supreme judge been a lsss popular man nc would never havo jtolled w.ZLJ votes, Ml more than Judge Post could ral v to his support in 1897. During the lineal year ending Nov. 30. 1899, thero were 3,879 receipts written in the cilice of the state treasurer. As each receipt is written in triplicate, this means the same labor as writing 11.637 ir.gle receipta. Don Cameron's Lunch Counter 114 to ii 8 South nth St., Lincoln, Neb. . - OYSTER'S AND GAME IN SEASON. i Tbe There Wtb hi i Mism The efforts of Nebraska republican W explain how they happened to lose tha last election are truly laughable. Hard-If- two republican papers agree as to why Judge Reese was defeated. AnA in the midst of all this confusion, why does not some sensible republican news paper man clear up the tangle by frankly . admitting that the republican party lacks some fifteen or twenty thouaaod of having enough votes to defeat the fusionlsts when they decide to go to the polls? It is neither consistent nor fair to blame Judge Reese for the party's de feat Before election fusionista generally admitted that Judge Reese was a strong candidate; they admitted his undoubted ability, but insisted that be stood at the representative of an un-American partjk and, because of that fact should be de feated. There are not enough republi can votes in Nebraska to defeat Judge Holoomb when the fusionlsts do their full duty and they usually do that when Edmisten stands at the helay henun, Judge Reese was doomed to de feat from the very moment he was nomi nated, and it surely comes with' poor grace irom republicans to now say fie was a weak candidate. i ttc iu-u umtU 1U trig FARMER.
