VETOED !
A telegram announces that Gov
ernor Boyd vetoed tthe maximum
freight bill at 10:80 , this morning.
PERHAPS the beatrthing that has
befallen the Kepublican party in
a decade is Paul Vandervort's flop
to the independents. Here's hop-

JUDGING from the amusing show
of spunk exhibited by the Italian
government , in recalling their
minister from this country , as a re
sult of the late Mafia matter , our
Italian friends are suffering for
just such a sound spanking as Un
cle Sam is built for to administer.
THE charges of bribery in the
election of United States Senators
have of late years come to be mat
ters of such frequent occurrence
that they have ceased to excite
surprise , aud , humiliating as the
admission may seem , these scand
als no longer appear to shock the
moral sense of the people. It is
now a recognized law of politics
that the "longest pole knocks the
persimmon , " and the protest
against this corrupt rule has , un
happily , become enfeebled with
its continued practice. In these
latter times the attainment of which
was a distinguished honor in the
days of Webster and Clay depends
upon the financial ability of the as
pirant to purchase a seat in the
Senate. The presence in that body
of the millionaires who constitute
the bulk of its accessions during
the last twenty years indicates the
venal level to which the highesi
legislative body in the land has de
scended. The personnel of the
United States Senate to-day furn
ishes ample justification of the
alarm which is beginning to pos
sess the people and which is awak
ening a sentiment in favor of elect
ing the members of the uppei
house of congress by popular vote.
The late Senatorial scandal at Sac
ramento is only one of the many
incidents of a like character in oth
er states which show the urgent
necessity for a thorough purifica
tion of American politics , and
which reveal , alas , the long step
downward which the country has
taken since the days of the fathers
of the Republic , when integrity ,
competency , and pure and undefiled -
ed patriotism constituted the qual
ifications for public service.
THE president has nominated
Hon. Thomas H. Carter to succeed
Judge Groff as commissioner of
the general land office. The ap
pointment is commendable. Mr.
Carter is a representative western
man. He is less than 37 years of
age , but he has won his spurs in
the judicial forum of Montana and
achieved some distinction in a
brief term in congress. He is a
man of recognized capability for
the important office to which he is
appointed , and will be a worthy
successor of Judge Groff. He is
an industrious man , broad mind
ed and thoroughly conversant with
western land matters. The state
of Montana includes a- wide area
of the public domain , and is be
sides largely interested in the ad
ministration of laws governing
mineral lands. In so far as the
commissioner can direct the policy
of the bureau it will be in the in
terest of the actual settler and the
great west. From the standpoint
of practical politics , the selection
of Mr. Carter is also worthy of
commendation. It is a just re
cognition of the importance of the
six new states. They have by far
the largest local concern in the
transactions of this officer. They
came into the union too late to
participate in the recent national
struggle for national supremacy ,
hut they represent a stronghold of
political power whose influence
will be felt in subsequent elections.
There can be no adverse criticism
of the president's action from eith
er party , for the appointee has the
respect of both and deserves it.
The Bee regretted to see Judge
Groff resign his position , but it is
gratified to know his successor is
a man of character , of legal abili
ty , of general popularity and is
from the west. Bee.
HOT/CE TO TEACHERS.
There is to be instruction given
in Botany at our coming summer
Institute , and in order that our
teachers and students may be pre
pared to profit thereby , I would
suggest that you begin the work
by gathering the different varieties
of leaves as" they develop.and when
practicable the stem and blossom
as well as the leaves of trees.
Those'of you who have access to
the North Western School Journal
will find in the March number
Chancellor Bessey's directions for
pressing , plants. I have attained
very good results by pressing the
plants in several thicknesses of
newspaper , that being always con
venient. Use a weight heavy enough
to keep the plants nnwrinkled while
drying. Press and preserve spec
imens of the different flowers as
they appear. Let the specimens
be as complete as possible , i. e. , the
root , stem , leaves , flowers and fruit.
Bring your prepared specimens to
the Institute and from them we
will derive our lessons. These les
sons are not only preliminary to
the study of the book , but of special
assistance in its study , giving us
the "thing before the word. "
Do not let the painstaking care
required deter you from the under
taking. I feel like promising you
not only an enthusiastic interest in
Botany , but a self-development
that will aid you materially in
other studies and labors.
Beginning with the first Satur
day in May I will be at the brick
school house in McCook every Sat
urday , ( except the third of the
month , ) and shall be ready to see
directors on school business or
teachers in regard to their studies.

"A GOOD many people have been
laughing in their sleeves at the in
dependent members being obliged
to stay here after the limit of their
compensation expires , " Represen
tative Ruggles remarked yesterday ,
"but the laugh is a little prema
ture. The alliance out in my coun
ty has made up a purse of § 30 to
pay me my per diem , and I am
going along just the same as ever
with instructions to stay as long as
there is any necessity for me
here. " It is probable that other
alliances have taken like steps , so
that their representatives can "stay
by her , boys , " until the last horn
blows. Journal , April 1st.

A prominent member of Lebanon Al-
iance suggests that they go after Tay-
or of Loup with a rope. I believe that
it is about one hundred years since the
Alliance under another name in France
went after their former friends with the
guillotine. My advice would be before
our dear Alliance friends from here
start after Taylor with a rope they had
better go up to the Loup and make
some inquiries. This man Taylor may
> e a hard one to rope , and from what I
have heard about the kind of grub roped
out by lloper at Indianola during the
past winter I don't think my Alliance
'riend is in a physical condition to
tackle a tough job.
It is reported that a dyed-in-the-wool
Republican has loaned himself to the
Alliance as their candidate for P. M.

ately and added ex-county commis
sioner. It is to be hoped that his many
'ricnds throughout the county will not
'ollow his example. For instance let
us see how it would work out. Old

THE Keith County News makes
the direct charge against Repre
sentative Puruell , author of the ir
rigation bill , that he purposely
permitted its defeat in the inter
est of a "ditch" company at North
Platte , after pledging the people
of Ogalalla that he would notify
them if the bill was in danger.
The inference is that he was
bought off from the support of his
own bill , and the News makes a
pretty strong case against him.
The indications have been strong
that the bill was being "monkeyed"
with ; there is now no doubt of it ;
and if it is true that Purnell be
trayed the trust reposed in him by
western Nebraska he is just as
odious a traitor as the absconding
Senator Taylor.
