Official Bond Trust.
For some years past state
officers have generally offered
their official bonds through the
t'lie surety companies , instead oi
the personal guarantee of friends
( orracrly the customary method.
T.his year state officers-elect
think they smell a "trust"
among the guarantee companies
and arc justly indignant in con
sequence. Premiums on the
official bonds desired by these
officers have advanced over 100
per cent since the last bonds
were taken out and the fact that
Several companies bid the same
price to one inquirer give color
to the "trust" suspicion. The
governor's rate has yone up from
S49 to $120 for a two year bond.
Here is some work for a Demo
cratic "trust-busting"legislature
Will they rise to the occasion
and make it "easier to hold of
fice , " the'one thought dearest to
the heart of the Democratic
politician.
Dinner to Retiring Chancellor.
A dinner was given to retiring
Chancellor Andrews of the State
University on the evening of
December 8th , at Lincoln by the
Faculty Men's Club ot the Uni
versity at which the regents of
the University , the faculty and
many prominent citizens met to
lo honor to the retiring chancel
lor. Toasts were responded to
by Regent F. II. Abbot , Chancel-
or Andrews , Governor-elect Shal-
lenberger. Governor Sheldon ad
vocated expanding the Universi
ty and adding to its real property
and increasing its funds and in
cidentally the pay of the faculty.
Governor-elect Shallcuberger
said in part :
"I am rather of u saving dis
position and somewhat conserva
tive along this line , yet I can say
that when it comes to trimming
oppropriations it will not be on
the educational budget. "

the University regents were in
attendance. Treasurer Brian
advocates the appropriation of a
flat sum for the University , gives
some sound reasons for his posi
tion and states his conviction
that the people will approve of
generous support of the state's
greatest school and can be trust
ed to know just what it costs per
year. This he thinks is certain
ly true when the cost to the tax
payer is stated in plain figures ,
Mr , Brian showing that the man
whose property is worth $500
now pays 10 cents a year to Uni
versity support or $20 per year if
he is worth the goodly sum ol
$100,000.
Sine New Candidates.
Tile number of Democratic
candidates for speaker of the
house at the next session of the
legislature has been considerably
argumeuted during the past
week. A round half dozen are
now entered in the fight and the
end is not yet. Among the lead
ing candidates at this time art
Ralph Clark of Richardson , C.
W. Pool of Johnson , H. R. Henry
of Holt , A. R. Bowman ol
Nuckolls , W. J. Taylor of Custer
W. S. Shoemaker , or perhaps W.
S , Stoecker , both of Douglas. It
will be a merry fight and the
prospect is for a sufficient num
ber of political broken bones to
satisfy the most exacting critic
> l the sport.

the four new supreme justices
made by Governor Sheldon , is
little more than a day dream of
democratic politicians who "want
office for what there is in it , " is
indicated by remarks made by
Governor-elect Shallenberger
while at Lincoln last week.
That the fight would made if
there were any possible prospect
of success for the democratic con
tention is generally believed , but
.the hard fact remains that the
j action of Governor Sheldon in so
| clearly lawful and regular as to
leave no opening for successful
democratic attack and the mana
gers of that office-hungry organ-
fixation seem to be reluctantly
abandoning the manufacture of
an "issue " Mr. Shallenberger
probably expressed the opinion
of the leading "statesman" of
his party when he said in Lincoln
last week.
"If I were to appoint four dif
ferent judges from those nainul
by Governor Sheldon , there
would be no way that I know of
to seat them except by calling
out the militia , and that is far
ther than I should want to go.
Thus doth another democratic
hunger for office go unappeased.
