Solontilio fanning is no longer a

people laughed at tho idea of a few

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."

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

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

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

The clerk of tho supremo court has
been placed upon a salary basis and it
is conceded that tho state will be rich

providing for tlio.payinent of fees for

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

This will be done by tho stato itself,
and will forever settle the into ques

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

attention and enthusiastic support
The inoiiibors of this body have taken
the position that thure is not u tax

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

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

prevented by the nowlaw, aud theso
men who guarded tho nation will bo
porniltted to utilize the few dollars

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

It must not, be forgotten that tuo

tho rate of Kausas oil and it will now
he possible to get this oil here for iioi

the quality of the oil may be tested as
