Tlie newly elected mnyor mid mom bora of tho city council huvo promised to publish u statetnent showing tho exact condition of thollnlnuclnluirnirs of tho city within a reasonable time after the first of May. This action will bo welcomed by all citizens and we aro pleased to know that the new olllcers moan business. Solontilio fanning is no longer a joUo. A few years ago when tlio gov ernment wns malting experiments people laughed at tho idea of a few men of science telling fannors how to farm but iiow-dnjy only tlio .scientific farmer is a success. Tlio onolesson on seed corn lint prodjicud marvelous re sults and tho seioiilille larmer makes two kornels of corn appear whore there was but ono before. Governor Hlnillciibcrgor has idgnud tho (layliglit milonn bill and it now be (joine a law. As Minn as this law goon into cfroct tho hour for selling liquor will b from seven in the morning to eight o'clock at nleht. We arc plensod that Mr. Shnllciiberfcer did ' jumL whut he pledged hiumolf to do. Ho iw a democrat of whom anyone might well be proud of. Wo quote in part IiIh rcrixons for tdgning tho bill: "Tiih plan proposed in this amend ment for the entire state ban baen triedMn the capital city of Lincoln, and both -wets' and 'drys' alike coin moud Its effect UusincftB thrives in this city and the hotels and plucCN of aiuiihoinont claimed most to bo effected aro being continually improved and constantly crowded with patrons. It is admitted upon all sides that jn this city it lias had the effect of eliminat ing much of public t rancor from the liquor question."' "Tills amendment lias much opposi lion in the two Omahas, becaiiNo busi ness men are fearful that it will nlYeot trade and commoicc adversely, and fu tile further reason that it .limits to a cortaln extent tlie policy of "home rule" upon tlio matter Ibcllovo how over, that oxporiencc will justify tho law, and Unit our largo cities will find that their prosperity does not depend in any way upon two or three extra hours for tlio sale of liquor." i). El. Patter Elected fita)or by 49 Hnjorlty. Tlio Citizens Ticket Wins by good Majorities. Tho election Tuesday was a hard fought ono between tho .Citizens and Republican tickets by the following mnjortlcs: Easter is being moro generally ob sorved as the years roll by and rightly so as it is one of the joyous events of tho year. Next to Christmas there is no greator day celebrated. Tho chinches blossom us tlie rose and tho choirs propare special music for the occnslon. Tho minister .tightens up his buchlor and delivers his best ell'orts. Wo were going to mention tho Indies' huts but thoy look so much liko coal hods this season that we lost nil inspiration. Uut that need not de tract from the real siguillcancu of Easter. Tho Rev. Mrs St. John in her excel lent address in tho Methodist church the other night told th6 fanners that if they wished to do away with saloons nil they had to do was to inform their merchants that they would quit tlio town tr the saloons remained. This Is the tiuth. I r fifty farmers would tell tlie business luen'of this city that they would go elsewhere to trade they could get any thing lhev wanted. Combinations cornt and this is the Mime principle which was mod to suc cessfully with the llwf Tnut Mrs! nt. .lonii is niaivuiouBly well pioer-1 red for a poison of her ago and has enough enthusiasm lor a dozen ordi nary mortals.

LINCOLN LETTEtJ Lincoln, Nb., fnll (' (Special ('orrcpondcnce.i Now that tholegis latino has adjourned it might Im u 11 to inquire whether or not nomo of the ' striotutes sought to 1m plitced upon it ' by republican newspaper I justified Wo venture tho statement without four of MtecPsufiil contradiction Hint no lcgisbituro'thnt lniH ever mot in NJ- brnskn him plucad no iiuuiy inciltoiloiis nnd wise laws upon the statute book', audthiit no fogiihit.'u,o hns passed incimures that so little fattlt can be found, with. It. has absolutely kept tho faith, and bus enacted into law the pledges marie to tho people at tlio election last fall. The two great thingHjdotnnnilod were the pnssago of a bank guarantee law and restoration of tlio precinct suwessois. While those two things hnvo been done, "many other remedial moasures have boon passed. Tho bank guaranty lnw Is conceded by hunkers to bo tho best that could be framed. President Hluek, who for some time was the president of tho bunkers association in this state, made this statement to I th6 committee before which ho ap-j poured at Lincoln. Tlio objections ' that have boon mado aie inspired by interests that are controlled by selfish ; reasons, and by men who do not con-1 cede that other men are entitled to the I sumo, opportunities as themselves. The precinct ussessois willhavo charge I of the 'issessmcnt schedules hereafter I and will lie elected by the people, In addition to this the light of the stato board of equalization to raise tho totals of the county assessments and valuation has been taken away. This has boon a glaring evil and ono of which the people bitterly complained. Tho primary law has boon changed so that platforms will bo written here after beforo tlio primary election. The clerk of tho supremo court has been placed upon a salary basis and it is conceded that tho state will be rich er each year by moro than S1O.OO0. A tax lias been placed upon corporations providing for tlio.payinent of fees for llllngjirliclcs of incorporations that will net tho state troaniry e.'JOO.OOO. The special bill of Governor Shallon borgor bus been passed which provides thai no stocks or bonds can be issued by corporations without first obtain ing tho consent of tho stato , rail way commission, thus protecting the inves tor, nnd nt the sanio time preventing the loading up of a corporation with watered stock thus necessitating tho charging of exorbitant rates to pay the. Interest. Tlie physical valuation of railroads lias been provided for, making it pos sible to get at the real valuo of these pioperties. Hereafter it will not be necessary to take tlie word of tho com pany as to the value of lis property. This will be done by tho stato itself, and will forever settle the into ques tion; ns rates will bo based upon thu value of tho property and justico done to everybody. A new oil law by which Kansas oil may lie shipped here for fuel, and other provisions Unit will save tho people of this stato SSoO.000 in the next year The Ollis warehouse law will be in force by which cereals can bo stored, certificates Issued against it and these made negotiable, thus preventing the fanner from being compelled to sell his grain at any price that is oll'ered.

No legislature tout has ever met iu Nobriiska has given as much attention t educational matters as has this one Every bill that has had for its object the promotion of the educational In terests of tho stnto has received earn-o-it attention and enthusiastic support The inoiiibors of this body have taken the position that thure is not u tax payer iu tlie stato who would seriously object to appropriating money for tho bonellt of our educational intwost." The bill providing for tho purchase of the Wayne XorniHl school buildings and appropriating 900,000 to pay for the sumo has passed, it is conceded that these uuildlns aro worth a sum greatly In excess of this amount and that tlie stato has douu a wiso thing iu making tho purchase tine of tho host moasures passed by this legislature- from the standpointof right and justico is tho bill provonting the taking of soldiers pensions at tho different soldiers homes. It has been tho practice of tho lnstndministnitiou to take theso pensions, or a cortnlu per cent of them and utilize the funds In running tho homo. The soldiers thenisolves bitterly complained of this nnd olVorts were niatlo by their fiends to obtain injunctions .provonting tho stnto board from mulcting tho old votorans. Tho more serious that tho soldiers injuries weio nnd tlio greater the pension ho obtained tho moro tho bonrdjtook from him. All this will bo prevented by the nowlaw, aud theso men who guarded tho nation will bo porniltted to utilize the few dollars the government gives tlieih as they see proper. ' Tho bill providing that no moro drinking will bo permitted on trains will booomo a law. In speaking of the question of legislation along tein porauco Hues it may bo said that tho Slocuinb law as it now stands has nut boon changed in any respect. Strong efforts were made by the brewery in ti.rests to amend this lnw, and thereby ooeti no tho gales for n more liberal construction, but those efforts were H nipped iu Uio bud Every measure j Unit hud that purpose in view lias mot with instant death, it "' '"'u ",v sense of tills legislature that the liquor question was not an i-suo In tho cam paign last fall except locally, and that thoie was no mandate from the pooplo to change existing laws and in conse quence no radical laws upon thisquos Hon hnvo been placed upon the statute books It must not, be forgotten that tuo new oil law is of vast importance to he people of this state. It reduces tho rate of Kausas oil and it will now he possible to get this oil here for iioi purpose. It changes the test so that the quality of the oil may be tested as well as its inflammability. It is con ceded by every one who has investi gtited this matter that tho now law will bo tlie means' of. saving a h su.n to tho people f the state.
