THE speech of Senator Koontz
o Hayes county at McCook , "Wed
nesday , is a good pointer as to the
! of heart of the
since election. The rabid utter
ances from the stump are succeed
ed by words that show the sounc
sense that comes from delibera
tion. That any law that strikes al
capital will be sure to injure the
borrower is self evident and we
can feel assured that no uujusl
law relating to farm mortgages
will be passed this session. Kear

THE Nebraska Press association
sends up a cry against legislative
cutting of their advertising rates.
It is hard enough sledding for pub
lishers in the northwest at the
present rates , doubtless. The leg
islature shouldn't cut rates any
way. That is a matter that the
laws of business will attend to bet
ter than the laws of the state.
But we are sorry to be compelled
to confess that a large number of
Nebraska newspaper men have
been advocating the cutting of
the rates of almost everybody else
by legislative enactment and when
the business begins one can hard
ly conjecture where it will stop.
The present political period seems
to be characterized by a singular
tendency to lapse back into the
sixteenth century in matters of
political economy. Then , and for
100 years later , it was supposed to
be one of the most. important
functions of the law making power
to interfere with prices and to lim
it everybody's profits for the good
of everybody else. It was the
doctrine of paternal government
xun to seed. Journal.
ALL the evils that are , state and
national , and many that are not in
fact , have been practically laid nt
the door of this man who has , with
gross injustice , been singled out
from among other men whose
offices are the same as his and
whose duties were not more man
fully performed. Humankind are
very like the ancient gods , in that
their wrath demands a sacrifice ;
and as these exacting deities were
appeased only by the firstlings of
the flocks , the rarest of the fruits
and the richest of the wines , so
mortals , when their ire is up , de
mand and take the best that can be
given. The truth of this is borne
out by many a page of history that
is slippery with blood. The
wrongs done in the name of right
are almost beyond computation.
Not all the clamor of all the dis
affected can lead an unbiased and
thinking man to believe that in
making Senator Ingalls the scape
goat of these times there was
shown one whit of justice , His
fall was great for the reason that
his stand was high. The leading
figure of a time of change , he be
came its leading victim. In
America there has been no other
man just like Ingalls ; wherefore
there has been no other fall like
his.
IT is easy to make an apparent
ly sound financial argument
against the various election
reforms that have been put in
to effect in different states of late
years. The direct cost of an elect
ion to the public is considerbly
incrcaseed by the machinery of the
Australian ballot system , but in
directly there is an immense sav
ing and in a direction that is of
the greatest benefit to the common
wealth. The first election under
the new law is usually more costly
than those following it , as the
polling booths must be built and
a new equipment must be secured
throughout to begin with. After
that there is no reason for a larger
expenditure. The second election
under the Massachusetts law cost
only $28,000 , about half of which
was expended in printing and dis
tributing the ballots. It is stated
that under the old system the bal
lots alone cost $40,000 , while the
expense of distribution au J the pay
of the party workers would amount
to fully as much more. It is plain
enough that Massachusetts can
afford to spend a few thousand dollars
lars extra on election to relieve the
polititions from that tax of § 80-
000. Journal.
THE January debt statement is
a remarkable exhibit of the nation
al finances. Nearly 316,000,000
of the public debt was cancelled
during the month and over $1,000-
000 more paid on pensions ac
count than during the correspon-
iiig mouth last year , yet the sur
plus in the treasury increased $13-
000,000 , aggregating $70,880,545.
A significant feature of the report
is the marked increase in receipts
from all sources. Customs reve
nue shows an advance of $1,250-
OOU over J anuary or last year , thus
refuting the claim that in proportion
tion to the advance of duties the
revenue declines. The total in
crease from all sources in seven
mouths was $27,839.090 , and the
expenditures for the same period
was $234,474,420. In other words
it costs an average of $46,522.70
per hour or $775.37 per minute to
keep the machinery of the govern
ment lubricated.
THE irrigation movement is a
thrifty affair. The convention of
the past week at McCook was a
revelation of the extent and earn
estness of the demand for this re-
Eorm in agricultural methods in
the western part of the state. The
coming convention at Sidney will
still further emphasize the de
mand , and when the grand culmi
nation is reached , in the shape of
a mass convention at Lincoln , the
legislature will be forcibly remind
ed that the people mean business.
The first requirement is the en
actment of beneficent laws. When
; hese are secured there is more
reason to hope that private capital
will come forward to seek invest
ment in the enterprise. That has
) eeii its history in other states.

IRRIGATION IN NMRASKA.
THE practical results of the Me-
Cook convention were of the
most important nature. H
constituted the formal inaugura
tion of a campaign destined to be
crowned with a victory speedy and
complete. As such it will be n
bright page in the history of Neb.
The resolutions which have been
printed in full in the Bee , repre
sent the programme of the move
ment. The western part of the
state is solid for a state irrigation
engineer , for the division of the
state into water districts , and the
preparation of a complete system
of maps , showing the water sheds
and the nature of the streams.
When these laws have been secur
ed the movement must undertake
to interest capital in these enter
prises , and thus realize the fruits
of the agitation.
The appointment of Messrs. Le-
Hew , Meeker and Morse as a com
mittee to represent the southwest
ern part of the state , in conjunc
tion with a like committee to be
appointed at Sidney , secures a
high order of ability for a service
which will aim at the drafting of a
bill which , it is hoped , will be a
model for other states to pattern
after.
Thousands of people who have
now a lively concern in the pro
gress of the movement will await
the results of the big convention
at Sidney next Saturday with a
keen interest.

The Burlington's New Line To The
Black Hills.
THE BUKLINGTON KOUTE takes
pleasure in announcing to the pub
lic the completion of its new line
to Deadwood , South Dakota , and
the formal opening of the same for
business. This event marks an
epoch in the history of Nebraska ,
in opening up to the trade centers
of the state and the Missouri Val
ley , new and valuable territory
and a country immensely rich in
coal and mineral deposits , whose
possibilities for the future promise
much for the commercial and
manufacturing prosperity of the
state. The line is substantially
constructed and thoroughly equip
ped , the object being to afford a
service that is first class in every
particular , and in keeping with
other through lines of the Bur
lington System. It is the shortest
and quickest line from Missouri
River points in Nebraska to Deadwood -
wood , Hot Springs. Ouster and
Hill City. South Dakota ; Merino
and Newcastle , Wyoming , raid all
points in the Black Hills. Through
trains are running daily with Pul-
man Sleeping Cars from Omaha
and Lincoln to Deadwood without
change , making connection at Lin
coln and Omaha with trains of the
Burlington Koute to and from all
points East , West and South.
