NEBRASKA IS DIVIDED
Fusion State Ticket Pulls Through
Safely.
TBtf LEGISLATURE GOES REPUBLICAN.
The Vote Not Up to Expectations, and the Result
Very Close Legislative Districts in Some
Instances Only Give Hajorities of
From Three to Ten Figures
The Nebraska election (snow a part
f history. That tbc result, as Indicat
ed by tho unofficial figures, was a sur
prise to tlio larger portion of our cltl
sens in clearly evidenced by the trend
f talk. Tlio f unionists bare succeeded
Id electing their state ticket, the ma
jorities ranging from two to thrco
thousand. While tho figures given
are hi complete and unofficial, they are
nearly correct, and ofllctal figures will
not change the result materially.
Despite the fact that tho futlonlsts
wcro successful in electing the state
ticket, there Is a rein of regret running
througli the rank and file that Senator
Allen full aa a result of the loss of the
legislature. Many have boon heard to
declare that they would much rather
tc state ticket had been lost than that
Senator Allen should be left. Home,
however tako the philosophical view
Oiat inasmuch as the republicans will
control tho national congress anyway,
Senator Allen could do no good for tho
cause of blinctallUm even If he had
been returned.
On the other hand, tho republicans
are jubilant over thu capiuro of tho
leg Mature, and profess to see In It a
turn down for sliver.
Republicans declare they have a ma
jority on Joint ballot, and arc already
discussing Senator Allen's successor.
Sentiment is drifting toward Judge
Hay ward, many Miylng that his elec
tion would be n reward for lib splen
did raco for tho governorship. Other
republicans mentioned in connection
with tho Rcnatorship are Judgo Field,
0. M. Lambcrtson, M. II. Rceio and I).
E. Thompson of Lincoln, und John L.
Webster of Omaha.
So far as we aro able to secure them,
complete but tiuolllclul returns on
governor aro given in ..tho follow lug

Tho bacteriology of tbo beard hoa not
yet, so far as wo aro aware, been ex
haustively studied; this might bo a
naw world for ono of our young Alex
anders of pathology to conquer. That
It Is posslblo that dlscaso can be car
ried in the manner suggested will
hardly be denied, but we cannot say
that wo think the danger so groat that
doctors need cacrlflco their beards on
the altar of hygiene. Most will think
even the careful sterilization of tho
beard on leaving a sick-room a counsel
of perfection. If the scrupulous hy
glenlst thinks such a precaution neces
sary he should be consistent nnd Insist
on doctors shaving their heads and
oven their eyebrows. How would our
professional sisters llko this? To live
in the odor of antiseptic sanctity w
thould, after dub purification, clothe
ourselves In cotton wool, wrap our
heads In sterilized gaute and go about
like vellod prophets of Kborassan.

The Raster egg commemorates a calo
of indulgences, doubtloss In the middle
egos profitable enough. Devout cathol
ics purchased the privilege of eating
eggs during Lent, hence the custom first
of making presents of farm house eggs
on EsBtcr Sunday and afterward of
Imitations In chocolnte or ougar. An
other Indulgence of the raue kind has
probably been noticed by English tour
ists nt Rouen. Tho magnificent tower
of tho cathedral called the Tour do
Ueurre, or Butter tower, owes its origin
to epicureanism on the ono hand and
priestly ingenuity on the other. Tho
Butter tower, like the Easter egg, com
memorates n dispensation, having been
built by tho sums paid for tho privi
lege of eating butter in Lent. Londoa

In pureunncc of law and conforming
to tho proclamation of tho president
Thur6day,Novombcr the twenty-fourth
of the present year, Is hereby pro
claimed u public holiday, set apart und
designated as a day of thanksgiviu;
and praise to Almighty God for tho
many cvidcuccs of divino favor we
have enjoyed as individuals, as a state
and as a nation during tho year now
drawing to it clo3c. ,
"On this day all the people of the
state aro earnestly requested to re
frain from engaging iu thoir usuul av
ocations aud, around the family fire
side and in their accustomed places of
public worship, appropriately observe
the day in the spirit of our forefather
who have transmitted to us this beau
tiful Christian custom. The occailon
awakens in our mluds a deeper sense
of our dependcuco upmi God, and of
His guiding hands in the affairs of
state and nation. To lllin we must
look for aid in the advancement of the
human race to a higher civilization,
and for the preservation of our coun
try and IU Institution.
"The American people liavo waged
n great war on behalf of humanity.
By the sacrifice of many lives and of
much treasure; by tho bravery and
patriotism of American soldiers and
sailors, millions of the downtrodden
and oppreescd of other lands have been
brought nearer the realization of theb
hopes aud aspirations of civil liberty
In a government which shall dcrlvo Its
Just power from tho consent of the
governed. Let us hope that civil lib
erty and freo Institutions, with which
we are 60 highly endowed, may Boon
bo also n portion of thoc for whom
this war was waged.
"The return to their homes nnd fam
ilies of many of the soldiers who have
fought the!. country's battles gives
special cuuso for thanksgiving. Tho
early nnd safe return of thoso yet
remaining In camp und on tho battle
field will be pravod for by nil. Many
homes, saddened by tlm death in the
cause of humanity of thoso near aud
dear, will be made brighter by tho
thought that they gave up their lives
that others might be inodo happier
and permitted to enjoy tho blessing
of a free government. Let us orny
and believe that the great good dona
to suffering humanity by the interven
tion of American arms has not been
displeasing iu the sight of God, even
though resort was bad to tho stern
arbitrament of war to accomplish sucV.
results.
"In our beloved state 11 wonderful
exposition of the arUj, industries, und
advancement of the great west has
been inaugurated and carried to a con
clusion successful beyond our most
sanguine expectations! .It has demon
strated tho marvelous progress, the
high state of civilization attained, and
tho Intelligence, industry and invent
ive genius of the people inhabiting
this great territory, and has shown
the limitless possibilities of its future
growth to all the world. It has boon
the means of securing a more intimate
knowledge and better understanding
of the character, plw-k und persever
ance of our people among their broth
ers in other portions of our common
country, and again verities the saying
that 'Peace hath her lcturles no 'loss
renowned than war.'
"Seedtime and harvest have passed,
and under the favor of Divine Provi
dence, abundant crops hayo blessed
the toil of the husbandiunn. Commerce
und manufacture have fi-lt tho quick
ening Influence of the surplus agricul
ture products, which have found ready
markets In foreign lands. Business
has revived and labor quite genorally
has found remunerative employment.
Thrift, industry nnd porsevcranca in
the several fields of activities charac
terize our people. Churches nnd schools
abound andeonteutmentnnd happiness
arc within the reach of all who strive
in well doing. Our liberties aro still
preserved und our destiny shall bo
as wrought out h.v tho people in the
fear of God and thu hive of truth, jus
tico and righteousness.
"On this day let us not forget tho
poor, unfortunate and the distressed.
j inasmuch as it is said: 'For tho pool
I shall never cease out of thcland; tliora-
t foro I command thee saying, thon
shalt open thine hand wide unto thy
urouier. to thy poor und to thy needy
in thy land.'
