LEGISLATURE.
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.

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. . - '

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.

0US SOCIAL EY8TEM
The last hundred yrarsrontituVs an
era of tbe moet woederful material pro
gress. 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.
