The oonmittee on iMursnce in the house hM four bills for consideration before tbem, but at thi time tbej have not had a meeting. But I presume that all will be recommended to pace. Oae by Mr. Wood to chance the law regulator aa-iaeorporAted mutual so thataoomMUiT under that law may provide pay for Its areata, adjuster to. We are Uterested la this because the hafl oompaar It organized under this law. aad we think that the later- eat of the eoapaay would be looked after better if those who work for the oompaay e.uld at least get enough to pay expenses. BUI by Mr. Ol, which ehaace the law passed two years ago, so that aay oompaay that chowes may Insure detached dwelling-houses la towns or Glues, la as much as some 01 us com panies are asking this, we see no valid reasoa way it snouia not pass. Bill ly Mr. Haggles changes the old law whioh require $5,000.tt In cash when the company hares, so that the company may Incorporate when it ha az5,WQW m noics on lis proposeu members. The Farcers Union of Grand Island Is the only company now working under this law, and was it not for that fact 1 would favor the repeal of the whole of the old law far at it pertains to mutual iosnranee; but atnoe there U a coin pan now working under this law. 1 see no oojections to the change. Bill by Mr. Vanllouaon relating to cancellation, la the best butonlosur anoe subjects. It Is fair and equitable and at the same time clear and comhm This bill, if no other, should pas with the emertrency clause, as tuous a ds of men in this state would like to set out of the stock company and or tanlze a mutual of their own. This law would not affect thoae who have insur anoe written before ' the law takes cf feet, hut any man tuny insure after that time and then when a. few of them are ready tbey may organize the mutual and then cancel out of the old company and will only have to pay a light advance of the prorated rates. Wants Aathorlty. Dicsxra, Nia, Feb. 14, 1803. Editor Aluakci-Ik dependent: I would like to know if you can give the date of paper New York Tribune in which the statement below in full was issued: -' . -v . "The time is near when they (the banks) will feel compelled to actstroog ly. Meanwhile a very good thine has been done. The machinery 1 now furnished by which in any emergency the financial corporations of the east can act together oa a single days notice with such power that no act of eon grass can overcome or resist their de cision." :;- This appears In Mrs. Emery's works, -also in Moses Hull's. "Is not a dollar enough to buy bread. Water costs nothing. A man who can net live on bread is not fit to live. A family may live, laugh, love and be happy that eats bread in the morale? -with good water, and water and rood bread at noon and water and bread at might." The above Is supposed to be stated by Henry Ward Beecher from the author! ty of Moses Hull unthor of "The frre preeuible Conflict," ..Your answer on your li e" and other works I wish to know if these were the actual words used or not. I had a dis pute with a republican editor about it and he rays he hear Beecher use some thing like the above words but it was not as it is written above. Is it generally held by newspaper men that any statement appearing In their paper under the head of contr.bu I ma on which no adverse criticism is offered by the editor, meets with the views of said editor? Tours Truly, "V. J amks Cooper. , First I think the quotation from the Tribune was first useO as a reform text In "Whltherare wedrifting"by Wllley and that both Mrs. Emery and Hull have copied it from that book. I be lieve Willey fails to state the date of the paper in which the paragraph ap peared. I have never heard its gciu-; inecess questioned. Second, 1 believe there is no doubt that Beecher expressed the sentiment attributed to him in the paragraph, but can not say as to the exact words, f remember to have seen a good deal of comment and criticism on the state ment a good many years ago, just after it was uttered. Third. An editor is not supposed to endorse all the views set forth by con tributors, even though he abstains from criticising them. It is, however, a custom with many editors to plainly state that they do not wish to be held responsible for tbe views of Contibutor, especially if they are in the habit of publishing many contributions containing views which they can not endorse. I think if some competent writer la the east would search the files of the newspapers, and magazines, and estab lish the genuineness of the quotations and circulars current in toe reform literature of the day, he would perform a verv valuable service to the reform movement, and I would suennst to Mr. Cooner that he write to Dr. TK. B. Bland of Washington D. a and ask him to do this. THE JU1MTUK. We call special attention to the ad vertlsement of Messrs Toungers & Co., of Geneva Nebraska, who have gained a well merited prominence as axtensWe growers of choice nursery stock. Their stock of western trees is more complete than that of anv other Nebraska firm We take pleasure in recommending the members of this firm to our readers as son are dealinr responsible business men. . - ' Fvr empenter work call oa or address I.KGISL.VIIVK NOTE. Money Saved to Tapayrs-A Farce Knocked Out. APPROPRIATIONS. The general appropriation bill which passed the house a few days a 20, is 11 ab!e to becomo a law just about ss fctacdi. The senate ra J ralie a few appropriations, but on the whole there will be few changes. The total amount appropriated by tbi. bill Is $l,fc!l,3S:J0O as against 1,437,803 00 for the same purposes two years ago. This makes a difference of 1430.422.00 In favor of the present bill So much less burden for the tax pay ersof the state. Tbi reduction has been made by putting off all needless outlay. The state institutions were not cut short of the aecssslttes, but were cut short of the luxuries. No buildisg fund was provided for any of them Moreover no fund was supplied to en able the treat steals which have been carried on in some of thess institution In tbe past There were no dcficienccs to supply as there were two years aero. That was another item of saving. The traveling executes of the state officers were cut off. These officers ad mittoa last tney rode on passes, so there was no need of appropriating lot of traveling expenses to go Into their own inside pockets. Thus the oontlogtnt expenses of state officers is $16,409 less than two years ago. The appropriation for the Lincoln insane asylum, where the great steals have beeh going on during the past two years Is I34.C50 lets than two years ago. The penitentiary where it Is being established that other great steals have been goiog on, is allowed $55,838 less than two years ago. The state board of transportation which was allowed $3,950 for contingent expenses two years ago is allowed noth ng this yer. The iscellanoous appropriations are $76,CO0 less than two years ago. Outside of the general appropriation bill, there will bo several items of sav ing to the state. The f 300.000 oppropriated for the drout sufferers of two years ago wil be saved; so will the $50,000 lor the world's fair: so will the $7,000 for th sec retries salaries ol the staie board of transportation. Altogether, says Cha rraan Casi e of the nuance' ways-and means com mittee, "the appropriations of thU legislature will be nearly a million dol lars lefs than those of the legislatures of either '8'i or '01. KNOCKING OUT A FARC'S. The action of tbe house last Fridav In knocking out tne appropriation for the maintaioance of the state board of transportation is ao. actson that will ever redound to the glory of the pres ent legislature. TMs practically puts an end to this fraud, at least for two years. if or the past six years this board hac had the absolute power to reduce freight rates. Aad for the past ix years they have done absolutely noth- n? in mat direction. They have drawn their salaries and fone on junketing tours about the state, 'hey have been absolutely controlled by the railroads which they were sup posed to regalate. Their very exis tence has been an insult to the hones' people of Nebraska. And everybody will heave a sigh of relief that they are no more. Let them rest in peace. THE END Or TUB CONTE8X. Last Friday night the senate Indefi nitely postponed the Douglas county contests. The testimony had gone on far enough to show that there was ahso iutely nothing to be gained by taking farthea evidence, ana the senate d d right in no longer fooling away timo with the matter. This ends all contest catea in the pres ent legislature. T.

If the peop'e of a century ago could have fvreten, or eren imagined, the inventiccs, tbe discoveries, tbe Indus trial acbl-vemects of to-day what wou'd Lava been tbtir natural conclu sion? They ou!d have Paid: "Bless ed indeed will bo the peop'e of that ago. Poverty, sufterirg acd crime will le unknown When the forces of nature hall be harncs cd to the gigantic ma- chujeryif that aje, man will eo longer be doomed to a life of hard un relieved toil. When the ability to pro duce wealth shall be eo greatly multi plied, no on3 will hive to go without the neccfsaricsoflife, andallwho wish can enjoy life's luxuries." But how different from this is the ac tual result: Poverty and crime have greatly increased. There are more homeless people today than ever before In the history of modern civilization. There are millions who are doomed to a life hard unrelieved toil with no hope a of ever rising above p verty.- There are millions who suffer for the want of the aere ne cessaries of life. There are thousands who ate doomed to enforced idleness. At the same time there are a few who are piling up fortunes such as were never dreamed of in any pre vious age. The machinery of produc tlon is largely in the hands of giant soulless ctrporations, and cyen these are rapidly com olidatlng into mam moth trusts. Competition is strangled The land is monopolized, arid the xxc pie are shut away from it. Instead ( f peace and harmony prevailing among the people, there ia bitter strife, and d's-ension, suspicion and ba'red, toil And trouble, "vanity and vexation of spirit," Instead of happiness, there is unrest, discontent, suffering, and hopeless de spair. And what is the condition of the wealthy few, the "upper class?" Does their great wealth lead them to develop all that is good in their natures? Are they as great in benevolenc, in philan thropy, in intelligence, in true culture of tbe mind and heart, as they are in wealth? On the contrary, their finer sensibilities are blunted. The means and methods which they use to get their wealth sear their concienci's, harden their bear's, warp their intelli gence. Wealth getting absorbs their time and energies When they do turn from the pursuit of gold, they turn to dissipation and soul searing pleasures. Our social systn is degrading and destroying both the 1 1 )h and the poor. It is wrong. It is unnatural. It is a monstrosity. The people of today may be divided into two classes: the rob bers, and the robbed. Producers suffer while non-producers pile up the wealth they can not enjoy. And what is the remedy? How are tbing3 to bs made riht? There must bo a 1 general arousing of that which is best in men's natures. There musti be a universal quickening of con sciences. There must be a general re solve on the part of the people to right wrongs, to establish justice and to make the world what it ought to be. These things must come first. Then remef die9 will easily be found, and applied. It is not impassible to right existing wrongs, but it. can never be done till the people generally sec these wrongs, and resolve in their hearts that they shall be righted. To this end let us work.
