In Pittsburg tho ladies removed luclr hats on Eastor Sunday nnd the minister said that for tho first time In Ills lifobo wasnblo to look evory mem ber of tho congregation in the face. Wo have frequently lost, wbnt might otherwise been a good sermon becauso oven in Red Cloud the hats wcro lurgo enough to shut off all view and oc casionally loud enough to be heard abovo the pastor's voice. Tho removal of ladies hats ought to becomo a cus tom in every church in this city. Many who havo noticed tho lt3-o. dog, now .lurking in tho print shop, will bo interested to loam that hu is a ferocious blood hound and is death on delinquent subscribers. When one of our subscribers gots in arrears we havo only to permit this wonderful dog to smell tho subscription book whore the man's namo is ciiscribod and tho sagac ious animal immediately takes the trail nnd bringBUba unfortumito tho front stairs by (be bosom of trousers.

Wo waited for a closer view and found that Daniel has been farming with his bond. Tho new way of plowing is to harrow evory ilny what is plowed that day. Our enterprising young farmer put on an extra horse nnd ligged up u harrow behind the man and plow. This does the woik, mivcs time, nnd develops brains. If Daniel will patent a process in connection with his plow scheme, wheioby ho would bo able to sow and reap at the hnme timo, we be Hove that it would be extremely pro fitable. With tho closing of the saloons at eight o'clock over tho stato made com pulsory by the now law, and with the strict regulation of pool and billiard halls excluding bos under eighteen, wo wish to know what tho Nebraska towrs are going to do with the boys. botno of tho boys havo good homes but many have not and whore shall they go? Shall they pass their timo on the streets every night? Isn't it inoro probable that unless something is done for thorn that their time will bo bpent behind closed doors where tho amusemont may be less innocent. What tho boys need is a respectable place in which to congregate for harm oss'gnmes and tho like. What Rod Cloud needs today more than at any otbor timo in her history, is a Y. M. C. A. building with a library, gymnas ium and a swimming pool. Hoys are more good than bad nnd crave the bet ter fun. Tho people of Inlluenco and menus in this city owo it to the young meu to provide clean, healthful and moral cntcrtainmont and instruction.

Despite the constant criticism of an ad verso par tlsan press at tho state capital during the entire loglslatlvo scsslou the people are informing themselves concerning measures mulcted Into laws by a demo orntlii legislature and slgnod by a democratic governor, and history will record that tho JDOO session passed more good, wholesome laws, measures that will distribute moiucqultublytlu1 but den of taxation, nnd at tho samo timo correct a greater numbor of pre valent evils, than has any former legis lative body in tho history of tho state. It should bo borno in mind that every platform pledge of tho demq , ratio party was fulfilled, nnd the leg islature wont further and in addition passed nn unusually large number of meritorious bills. It may bo truth fully said also that no legislature in tho history of tho state cvor passed so few so called "freak moasures," and no vicous or unjust laws were enacted. Thcro has been a great deal of fault finding from n republican source con corning the labors of tho session. It is a common thing to hear tho com ment that the bank guarantee bill really amounts to nothing at all, nnd falls far from tbo mark of fulfilling tho platform pledgo of the party, but if you have followed the metropolitan press you will havo observed that a gathering of the "big bankers" was held at Omaha lnstwook todovisc ways and raise funds to defeat tho purposo and object of tho law, notwithstand ing the fact that at least nine-tenths of tho people of the state of Nebraska to day, with tho political situation re moved, are strongly in favor of the guaranty law. The highest compli ment that could possibly be paid to the measure is to havo those "big bankers," tho men who want to use tho peoples' money for nothing, and if any losses occur make tho pcoplo stand it, literally tear up the earth In their ef forts to defont tho bill. In order that the state railway com mission, the courts and the public reve nue powers of the state may have something upon which to base the earning capacity, a basis for dividend earnings as well as for tho purposo of taxation, of the public sorvlce corpora tions of the state, a physical valuation bill was passed catrying with it an ap propriations of 340,000. The governor, has supervision of the work and has already boon in consultation with tbo railway commission, outlining a cam paign with n view of first valucingthe railroads of the state This bill Is one that will bring great rolicf to tho peo ple in tho way of equitable rates, and at the same time compel the railroads to pay their just proportion of the ta.xes. As n companion nieasuro to the phy sical valuation bill the governor by special message had a law passed re quiring all corporations hereafter or ganized In this state and having for its purpose the placing of stock upon the inarkot, to first receive the consent of tho stnto railway commission by show ing that the property and assosts of the corporation is adequate and suffic ient upon which to base tho stock Issue This bill will in the future pre vent a great deal of stock-jobbing and swindling transactions In tltc lioating of watered stoak. Th- democratic party in Nebraska has placed itself abovo the, control'of the so-called liquor interested of the state by enacting moro legislation hav ing for its object the control of the sale of liquor than all previous, legis lation In Nebraska for a quartar of a century. A bill was passod prohibit ing the sale of liquor to n person who has been treated under tho provisions or the dipsomaniac law: another mak ing it a misdemeanor to drink liquors on trains; Governor Shallenborger vetoed u bill which will provent the sale of liquor at the army post at Ft. Crook and In this lie was sustained bv the legislature without a dlssonting vote. With the closing hours of tho session came the "Day-Light" saloon law, making n record on liquor legis lation that has won theencomiumsnnd admiration of tho great masses of tho people i Tho opponents of the 8 o'clock clos ing law, and they are confined princi pally to Omaha, express themselves nowit-sbotng entirely satisfied with of bridges lu the county, pnd on con the Slocum law, without this amend- sJderatlon of such bids as were made, mont, nut it is not too vain to Indulge ho thought that It wilt-yet receive tho Approbation of tboso who worship at the shrine of the C.ar at the city ' hall In Nebraska's metropolis. lu alljaOi bills werp passed by the legislature and signed by the governor 78 of which originated In the' senate and iS4.iuth house. . !To the credit of Uie legislature so recently adjourned , may bo said that 't appropriated pvef S700.000 for nor mal schools, in excess of any sum hero toiore appropriated, and the same spirit for adequate provision for Mft'if ftfr ' i 'i the educational Interests of our splendid stitu was shown In all tho appropria tions for carrying on and Improving the schools of Nebraska. A delegation of old soldiers from tho Soldiers and Sailors Home at Milford called upon tho governor IVldny and oiltor'od n vigorous protest against tho action of some of tho republican stato officials who arc attempting to doprivo tli o m of tho money appropriated by tho recent legislature to reimburse them for tho funds so unjustly taken ) from them under the guise, of "Rule if," adopted under tho republican nd ministrntlan of the pa9t two years.

He assures us that school boards quite generally through out the state arc giving their cordial support by voting to allow their teach ers a vacation, on full pay, on the above dates in order that they may at tend the mooting. Speaking of tbe association he says: "It is a voluntary organization of tcichersiind otherv'mterested in e luca tion. In no sense is it n Inhoror trade oiganiatlon, for it docs not advocate strikos or dictation to school author ities. It never meddles in politics nor doos it promise its mcmbeis assistance in finding employment or securing in creased salary. "It stands for improved methods and better school facilities, and its highest ideal is uuseltish, devoted service to tho future citizen. Surely the wide awake, 'progressive tenoher who sa'crt flces membership fee, railroad fare nnd hotel bill ought to receive regular pay for the two days spent in attending its meetings.
