These sohoola.aro needed and it is hoped the senate will concur with the house in this measure. North Platte Tribune. Now that the Irteuds of the dear people are turned out of office at Lincoln yo'u may expect nil kinds of corruption to be disclosed. The tirat thing of the kind is the dis covery timt "Reformer" Porter , late secretary of state , took along with him when he went out of olUoe about 81,000 of atato money. Thin money was received by him an foes in connection with the live stock brands commission. But the con stitution plainly says that no state officials shall receive for his own use in addition to his salary. Porter ter will bo made to "cough up. " Ord Quiz. There are said to be approxi mately 73,345,410 acres oi land in the Phillipitie Islands , cf this amount abont 1,000,000 acres are owned by individuals. Thin leaves a public domain of 71,840,415 acres of un- tmrveyed land that Uncle Sam haste to dispose of. It is estimated that thuro is twice or three times an much forest land as there is waste land The land is very fertile and , the greater part materially irrigated. Much of it will be taken by the na tives as soon as the government can have it surveyed and submit terms of settlement. Owing to the irreg- ularilicti , frauds and delays in fur nishing titles by the Spanish govern ment , the natives generally abauded the laud or remained on it as equal tcrs. The Ansloy Advocate's statement that as prices were high under Olevelunds first administration , that it proves protection does not effect prices , ouly goon to show the short memory of the youthful editor , Under Cleveland's first administra tion we had republican protective tariff nnd a republican congress to maintain it. President Cleveland had no power to change it. It was under his second administration when ho had a domocralio majority in congress that the McKmley pro tective law was repealed and a tariff law for revenue , without re gard to protection to American pro- duota and industries , was passed and a financial panic swept the country. The repeal of.that ) awtby the republican party under MoKin- ley and a proteotivo law ro-onaoted restou'd confidence and again put our peopleontho _ road to > prosperity , The result is good prioer , prosper ous limes and the mortagage ptiy itig era set in. STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP. Ipcoial Corrcapoadauce. LINOOLW , Nohr.j'Feb. 11 , 1901. The HOUBO had a little Hurry of exoitmont a few days ago when a fusion representative announced that he had been induced , by couple of profeHsional lobbyists to introduce some suspicious bilU This led to the cxchiHion of the pro * lodBionale from the Hour , aud ap pointment of a committee on in. vcsligalion. D'iringthe past week Hovoral now caucus culls were in circulation , but none of them ma-Jo remarkable hoad- way. A conference committee wns appointed by the npeaker to agree on lei me , but inasmuch as the anti- Thompson i-lement was denied rep- roecntation on the committep , the futility of the plan was evident from the slait. Finally , on Saturday , a paper calling for the election of a North Platte man first was put iu circulation , with little hope of SUP * OCBB. In the meantime the radical anti- Thompson men who are now known to have increased in number to nineteen , exclusive of the Koaewater men , have remained ( inn on the proposition that they will cuter no C.IIICUH in which Thompson is coi - Hide rod. They declare that they are ready to accept any two true republican ? , and their Htaud SCCIDH to have received quite general ap. proval inasmuch ns over ono hun dred republican papers of the state .ire declaring that the Thompson candidacy is dangerous to the re publican party , While this lobby business led to Home needed discussion , the suspi cion IB prevalent that the whole thing WMS a "grand stand" play , cal culated to detract attention and prevent the introduction of some meritorious bill regulating certain corporations. The two profession als are known to be iu the employ of the corporations interested , aud their reputations arc such that thin flurry would scarcely injure thorn , while the members of the House who took part were poftuibly coached by the corporations , It this is true the result will bo different from what the "grand stand" players in * tended. There has been a considerable change in the public mind regarding the procedure iu the senatorial light Two or three weeks ago the demand was for an immediate settlement of the contest. Now the demand from over the state is for a settlement that will be good for the future of republicanism , without regard tu the overpowering personal ambition of any one man. This is a good healthy sentiment which Daa sot many of the legislativn members to thinkiug. ADAM UKAMCUU. A MOHt Liberal Oiler.
