When some of the members of the
legislature deliver a so-called seech it
amounts to no more than it copy of the
II wld-Herald which does not contain an
article sighed "Met.""
It is said that the result of the elec
tion of Judge Allen to tlie V. S. senate
is tliat Boyd will have the disjiensltig- of
t&tronage in Nebraska, and to outsiders
it loofeS as if that means tliat Jim Dahl
man, of Dawes coUnty would be lT. S.
hmrshall.
A liuniber of tlie iel's of tlie slate
have been getting out secial editions
telling of tlie advantages of their vari
ous towns anil totalities. Such enter
prise is commendable. The Journal
publishes fifty--tvt issues fetich year
telling of the advantages of Sioux
county and northwest Nebraska.
The fireman on a passenger train on its
run from St Louis to JefTersou City on
the Missouri Pacific railroad was froKen
to death on the night of Feb. Oth. It is
strange that people will remain in such
n cold place and imperil their lives, when
they Could Come to Northwest Nebraska
to spend the wiuter and enjoy life.
OoV. Hogg, of Texas, has
sent a message to the legislature of
tliat state asking the passage' of
stringent laws against mob Violence and
lynching. The best way to stop lynch
ing in to shut up some of the loop-holes
through which so many criminals esesie
justice. Certainty of punishment is the
Iwst preventive for crime.
It is reported on what is claimed to be
ood authority that Cleveland has se
lected Judge Walter Q. Gresham to be
his secretary of state. The selection
will prove highly satisfactory to all who
desire to see a wise and safe administra
tion, but the old line bourbons who have
for years fought, bled and died for de
mocracy will be apt to kick up a terrible
rumpus.
It is evident that a special sessiou of
Congress will be called very soon after
the new president takes his seat. He
ordered that the present silver law be re
pealed and congress refused to do it and
as a result Cleveland will call a special
session. A3 the democrats will control
Ijoth branches of congress, it is quite
likely Cleveland will have his financial
views carried out.
House roll No. 112 has been signed by
Gov. Crounse and provides for a recount
of the votes cast at the recent election
on the amendments to the constitution
relating to railroad commissioners and
school funds. It is claimed that the
latter will be found to have carried.
Some fears are expressed that there is
some kind of a scheme behind the bill,
but it has not yet developed.
It is reported that the Newberry bill
hag been thrown aside by the populists
and a new bill is to be formulated and in
troduced. Senator Stewart had a bill to
reduce carload rates about 14 percent,
but the other members of the party
would not accept so moderate a reduc
tion and insisted on at least a 20 per cent
reduction. " From the statements of
Senator Stewart on the stump it was
supposed that he would demand so great
a reduction as would leave nothing for
the railroads and The Journal is pleased
to see the fairminded manner in which lie
is acting on the subject. The new bill is
said to do away with the state board of
transportation, As the independents op
posed the amendment providing for a
railroad commission it is hard to see
what they desire in tliat line.
Charges of boodling in tlie late sena
torial election were made in the legisla
ture and W. O. Duugan, sergeant-at-arms
cf the house was reported as hav
ing said be had an opportunity to handle
some of the boodla. That august per
sonage was called before tlie bar of the
House and on a resolution he was asked
a good many pointed questions. His
testimony bows quite clearly that an
arrangement was made with two mem
bers of the House to accept money for
votes on the senatorial question. A
committee was appointed to further in
veaUgate. Soma of tha independent
members got rery nervous about the

! William Vincent Allen is of ! i line
j Hhig or.d abolition stook. His father
' was tlie Rev. .Samuel Allen, a pioneer
j Methoilist circuit rider, a friend and co-
i laborer with the world renowned Peter
Cartrigiit. This is pretty good stock to
! eome from, and it is pretty good mater
ial from which to select a United States
j senator to represent Nebraska. That is,
Senator-Elect Allen wis born at Mid
way, Madison county, Ohio, on January
i, 147. anil is therefore but a few davs
1 past 46 years of age; His fatlwr died
when he was but ten months old, and
like all Methodist preaciiers, lie left his
family in poor circumstances. He was
the babe of tlie family, there being two
sisters older than he. One is a Mrs.
Noble Leach, of 1720 Clay street, To
peka, Kansas, and the other is a Mrs. M.
A. Bryson, of Ackley, Iowa. How his
brave mother struggled to support the
family &bd keep the children all to
gether, giving tliem an education, only
those who have gone through a pioneer
existence con know. Tlie good old lady
is not sjred to see her sou's triumph, as
she died on the twenty-eighth day of
last August, and was buried in Republic
county, Kausas.
Senator Allen received only a common
supplemented by about three terms in
the upper Iowa university at West
Union, Fayette county, Iowa. He
would have attended longer, but those
were stirring times that tried boys' souls
as well as metis', and when he was but a
little over thirteen, he enlisted in the
Fourteenth Iowa infantry, but was re
jected on account of his youth, and sent
home from Davenport, Iowa.
In 1862, however, he tried it again and
this time, though hut fifteen, he was
successful and became a member of com
pany O, Thirty-second Iowa, with Col
onel John Scott, of Nevada, command
ing. He remained w ith this company as
a private until the close of the war, par
ticipating in over twenty hard-fought
battles and skirmishes.
At the close of the war he relui-ned to
West Union and began reading law in
the office of the Hon. L. L. Ainsworth,
who was afterwards the democratic
member of congress from that district.
He was admitted to the liar on May 31,
1803, and on May 2, 1870, was married to
Miss Blanche Mott, a charming young
lady of that place. His family consists
of a daughter twenty-one years of age, a
boy fifteen, a girl eleven ami a little girl
of five.
He was always a republican up to
within alout two years, though always
opposed to the "machine" and always
iduutifled with the anti-monopoly wing
of the party. He was always a great
admirer of James G. Blaine, but at the
same time, he had a similar veneration
for Samuel J. Tilden. If Blaine had
been nominated in 1S76, he would, with
out doubt, have voted for him, but as
Blaine was given the cold shoulder and
Tilden was nominated by the democrats,
he cast his vote that year with the op
position. In 1878 without his knowledge
or consent, the anti-monopoly wing of
the republicans of his district, in fusing
with the democrats, gave him the nom
ination for congress. He accepted and
made the canvass, but was defeated as
he expected to be. But he returned to
the republican fold again and gave his
heartiest support to Garfield in 1880.
In 1884 he came to Nebraska, locating
at Madison, Madison county, and became
the senior member of the law firm of
Allen, Robinson & Reed.
This relation he continued until his
eleetion to the office of district judge in
November, 1891.
Dunng the year that he has been on
tlie bench, he has distinguished himself
as a man of uncommon judicial ability,
and has given satisfaction to all classes
by the able and impartial manner in
which he has decided all cases brought
before him.
As to his future the senator-elect has
not much to say. While he owes his
election to the populists who gave him
the nomination, he cannot but feel grate
ful to the fourteen democrats who made
it all possible, and we need not be sur
prised if be votes with the democrats in
organization of tlie senate, and mainly
with them on party questions, especially
when such action will not embarass the
party to which he belongs. He says re
garding the duties of the office to which
he has been elected, that they are all
new to him, but he hopes to grow into
the harness. ; ; :
Whatever be does will be the result of
very cautious and conscientious delibera
tion, and he will do nothing radical.- He
is a big brained, whole souled, enthusias
tic western man, is not a calamity howl
er in any sense of the word, and will
stand up for Nebraska at all times and
under all circumstances.
In tlie last issue the Independent makes
an attempt to be cute as to the person
ality of the. editor of this paper, As the
opposition paper has devoted a good deal
of space to that subject during the past
three years and a half the Independent is
welcome to ring any new chang on it
wbicbit may conceive. TuiJAunui.

the idea of the attractiveness
moral influence of artificial light,
factor among the safeguards of home,
tliat is impressing itself upon the mind.
Considered from a purely economic
standpoint, little light might answer
human purposes, but in no walk in life
does man stop at absolute necessity
whei-e lie lias the ability or power to
reach out to indulgence. Robinsou
Crusoe was thankful no doubt for his
clay dish of goat's fat, and his piece of
hemp for a wick, but he would have pre
ferred, and been more thankful for an
electric plant, if such a thing had then
been at hand. It is not always the limit
of bare exjiediency that satisfies, or tliat
is really best in results. Indulgences
beyond necessity are continually full of
laudable pleasure and tlie source of
much true happiness. There is a univer
sal consent to the utti-activeness of arti
ficial light. In the use of it every arti
fice is used to augment its glitter and
shimmer and glare, until the power of
its influence is felt by every creature
blessed with vision. This power, like
manv other forces, can lie used for either
good or evil.
The boy who is put olf w ith the tallow
dip in tlie mountain cabin, or the wee
taper in the citv . tenement, will in all
probability seek the store in the canon
or the saloon in the city, for their bright
ness, because there is that within him
which leads him straight to a brilliant
light, wherever it is placed. A strange
pedestrain, on a dark night, will in
stinctively bend his course to any light
which he may see, and you may be sure

The great double-headed daily, alias
the fake-factory, alias the Wurhl-llerahl,
has ceased to come to this oilice. After
getting the advertising usually given by
country papers to secure the dailies, the
Wuvld-JIvrald attempted to work a
scheme and notified the editors of the
country papers that unless they remitted
a certain sum of cash the daily would be
stopped. The publishers of that jwiper
worked the country publishers for tlie
advertising, but none of them will lie
found who are big enough suckers to
pay cash in addition. The country press
can get along without the M'orhl-Ifmihi
and that paper will he apt to have to
get along without the country press.
Senator North is said to have secured
the plum of internal revenue collector
for having assisted in the election of
Judge Allen. Mr. North is as good a
democrat as could lie put into the

The Columbian Fair.
The Nebraska state board of agricul
ture at its late annual meeting, deter
mined to hold a state fair at Lincoln,
September 8th to loth, 1893, to be' called
the "Columbian Year State Fair." Main
taining their place "in the precession"
and imbued v. iili the Columbian spirit of
the day, the managers are making
efTorts to have this fair surpass in all re
spects anything of the kind ever pre
sented the public.
The premium list has been thoroughly
revised. 1 Unimportant and fully served
features have been stricken out, and the
more important, with new ones en
larged. The aim is to present such an
array of products, resources and possi
bilities of the state as will surprise even
the most enthusiatic Nebraskan.
Arrangements will be made to have
excursion trains run from the world's
fair at Chicago, to encourage eastern
visitors and foreigners who wish to study
the west, to come and see' this state dis
play, examine our fertile acres, and be
come acquainted with our people and
surroundings.
At this date all indications are that
the season of 1893 will be productive of
unusually good crops and business con
ditions; such-as every one interested in
Nebraska will take pride in showing to
the world.
These encouraging words are spoken
early in order that our people may not
fail to imbibe the Columbian spirit per
vading the whole civilized world, and,
keeping in line, lend all possible aid to
make the coming fair what it is intended
it shall be. !
Among the many items of interest it
may be mentioned that the first prem
ium offered for county collective agri
cultural exhibits this year will be f500.
Ten thousand dollars is hung up for
speed. In addition negotiations are
pending looking to the presence of Nancy
Hanks or some 6tber such equine cele
brity. Nebraskans are advised to keep
in mind the "Nebraska State Columbian
Year Fair and Exposition.".
Mr. Julian Hawthorne, who has writ
ten on so many interesting subjects and
whose careful diction is rarely excelled,
has been examining Webster's Interna
tional Dictionary, and writes to the pub
lishers as follows: Sag Harbor, N. Y.,
Sept. 16, 1603. About fifteen months
have now passed since I received a copy
of the., new edition of Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary (the International). 1
have delayed speaking about the book,
because I wished to become well
acquainted with it proexmacing an opin
ion. : PrsTioas ' to gttiaf yours, I had
been using the new edition -of Worcester,
and I hardly expected to Rod yours sup
erior to it During the fitftt month or
two I used both of tbetn, bringing them
it instsst ooaapetitn with each
others but gradnally I found my sell
optfltag Worcester -met and more sel-
sing, the sweet light of t'no Dio-.f
subject, cannot be dispensed ':!!
(lorn, ami finally I definitely gave II tip,
and handed it over in the children The
fact is, Webster's is in all reflects the
better dictionary; in my oinion it is, for
all ordinary puqioses, the lst diction
ary in the world. The 'Century" is un
surpassable for scholars and sjiecialists,
and as agreeable and instructive reading;
but Webster is practically as good, and,
of course, vastly more convenient. I
don't see liow it could be improved, and I
am certain that it will never fail to satis
fy any requirements I shall liave occas
ion to make of it.
It gives me pleasure to give you this
testimonial, the more as you have not
asked for it; there are so few entirely
satisfactory things in the world, tliat
when one does occur, it ought to be
acknowledged and made known.
