The Prohibition and License Bill.
Tho following is the full text of Senator
Lindsay's senate tile No. 31 , with the house
amendment , over the adoption of which so
much excitement lias been witnessed in the
state legislature for tiio last few weeks. As
may bo seen by reading the bill tho election
for deciding the matter will not occur for
nearly two years yet , but the interest in the
struggle which is pending lias already made
the subject a leading topic of conversation in
every walk of life. 1'he business and pro
fessional men of the city , tiie ladies , the old
and young , all have something to say about
the probable results of the great temperance
campaign :
THE SENATE KILE.
A bill for an act to submit to the electors of
the state , for rejection or approval , an amend
ment to tho constitution of the state to pro
hibit tho manufacture , sale and keeping for
sale , of intoxicating liquors as a beverago , aud
providing for the manner of voting on such
proposed amendment. Introduced by J. P.
Lindsay.
Bo it enacted by the legislature of tho state
of Nebraska :
Section 1. That at tho general election to be

each elector voting for the proposed amend
ment to the constitution , shall Uo written or
printed the words : .For proposed umendinent
to the constitution , prohibiting the manufact

liquors as a beverage , " and "Against said pro

ments shall be approved by a majority of the
electors voting at tho said election then it
shall constitute section 27 of article 1 of tho
constitution of this state.
.Efforts are being made to discover the
cause of the low price of cattle to the grower.
Indefinite charges are made continually that
the dressed beef men are to blame for it.
There may bo some truthin this , butit cannot
wholly account for the apparent cheapness of
cattle. The market for hogs has been re
markably stiff for a number of months. The
hog grower cannot complain of low prices.
If the pork and beef packing monopolies hold
the power to depress the price of live stock at
will , why do they not lower the price of hogs
as they have of cattle ? The truth is , the low
price of cattle is rue to tho fact that the sup
ply outruns the demand. A glance at the table
of the number of cattle returned for taxation
would prove this. For the year JSS1 the re
port shows that six millions of cattle were
returned from the nine western states and
territories devoted to cattle raising. In 1887
the number returned was nearly fourteen
millions. If the figures for 1SSS were prepared
they would no doubt run into tne twenty mil
lions. WhTetber these returns be correct or
not is immaterial. They are undoubtedly un
derestimated. Nevertheless these estimates
prove that there has been an enormous in
crease in the number of cattle since tho palmy
days when live stock fetched high prices. For
that reason , it is to the interest of the cattle
growers of the west to extend their market
and encourage the beef-packing industries.
They must find avenues to dispose of tempor
ary overproduction. But this can never be
accomplished by a short-sighted policy to re
strict the free movement of cattle from one
state to another by the passage of local inspec
tion laws , nor by unwarranted hostility to the
beef-packing industries , through whose ener
gies the west is able to supply not only Amer
ica but Europe with cheap beef. Bee.
Dundy Democrat : Benkelman base ball en
thusiasts are going to organize a ball team for
the season of 'SO that will be a terror to all
competitors in the Repub'ican Valley. It will
be a Dundy county club , Ough and Parks will
contribute their best players to the associa
tion. Benkelman will have a home club to be
proud of this year. Spurious coin has been
circulated to some extent iu the northern por
tion of the county during the past year. x.ast
week while Dave Butes was searching for
some lost article in a dilapidated cabin form
erly the house of a supposed honest home
steader , ho unearthed a full set of dies , the
kind used in the manufacture of the "queer. "
This discovery may reflect some light upon
the mystery. In many respects Judge Coch
ran is a model magistrate. lie lacks one im
portant characteristic , , however , that of com
mand. Ho does not imbue his attorneys with
a sense of his authority , and permits entirely
too much wrangling and side talk. He is aff
able aud courteous to a fault. A cultivation
of tho art of discipline will , with his other ex
cellent qualiflcations , make Cochran one of
the best and most popular of tho Nebraskn
judges It is doubtful if a session of dis
trict court in western Nebraska ever called
together a better array of legal talent than
that before the court on this occasion. In ad
dition to the splendid Dundy county bar were
such able legal lights as Colonel B. F. Mont
gomery , of Denver ; Hon. Thos. Golfer , of Mc
Cook ; MorJan. of Arapahoe ; Stuil , of Auburn ;
McElroy , of Oberliu and Hon. George Lambert
son , of Lincoln.
The insurance bill introduced iu the state
senate should receive very.careful considera
tion , so that its provisions shall be made so ex
plicit that there will be no possibility of evad
ing them. The proper regulation of insurance
companies is a matter that has given the legis
latures of the older states a good deal of trou-
ble , and in some of them a reform miusurance j
laws is now demanded. The exposure of J
fraudulent insurance companies in New York
within the past two years made a rather start
ling showing of how a hr.v supposed to be very
nearly perfect could bo evaded and the people
defrauded by swindling schemers pretending
to bo mutual insurauce companies. Nebras
ka should profit by such experiences ,
