Grover’s greatest graft is the
veto. He works it mercilessly too.
When the Wauneta Blizzard
wants to be emphatic it uses, “had
never ought to have been.”
The declination of Governor
Crounse to be a candidate for re
nomination removes the logical
nominee and strongest man from
the field.
The Bepublican congressional
committee will meet in Holdrege
on the first of May, to fix date and
place for holding the convention,
representation, etc.
It may be a perfectly natural
and a measurably excusable am
bition, but there are quite a num
ber of clever fellows wasting their
time rustling around over the
Fifth district after pledges for the
congressional nomination.
There is well founded objection
to the Australian system of ballot
ing along the line of its expensive
ne6s. The system might be sim
plified and its operation rendered
more economical, without any loss
to its effectiveness and value. Such
action should and doubtless will be
taken by the next legislature.
Some papers pretend to be anx
ious for the republicans to nomi
nate Prof. Andrews again for con
gress, but they are like the fellow
who made a great show of hunting
for work and praying that he
wouldn’t succeed in getting any.
Andrews is just the fellow they
do not want nominated—but he
will be.—Minden Gazette.
Inasmuch as the 22d day o f
April, the day designated by stat
ute as Arbor day, falls on Sunday
this year. Gov. Crounse has is
sued a proclamation recommend
ing that the day following, Mon
day, the 23d day of April, be rec
ognized as Arbor day, and that it
be observed by the citizens and
public authorities of the state by a
generous planting of trees, and by
the public schools by exercises be
fitting the occasion.
Representative Hainer has
won a splendid victory in the
adoption by the house, after pro
tracted debate, of the Hainer bill
for the carrying of periodicals at
pound rates through the mails.
The bill has been pending for
months before the post office com
mittee, which, in spite of every ef
fort and of petitions numbering
more than a million names, refus
ed to make any report upon it. Mr.
Hainer recently adopted a new
tack. He drafted an amendment
to the post office appropriation bill
incorporating in it the termB of his
bill and had Mr. Springer offer it.
Then the trouble began. The point
of order was promptly raised and
vigorous debate began. Mr. Hai
ner took the floor and defended the
amendment, both on its substance
and against the point of order with
marked ability. The house ad
journed with the question still
pending. Next morning the fight
was resumed. The amendment
was still farther strengthened to
include publications of scientific so
cieties, so that its effect as finally
determined upon will be to admit
to the mails at pound rates all peri
odicals issued at stated intervals
by benevolent, fraternal,education
al and college societies, boards of
health, scientific organizations and
trades unions.

The greatest need of this state,
says the Lincoln Herald, is a com
petent committee to hang men
who start propositions to issue
bonds.
When they have fled inglorious
ly from a victorious field, leaving
guns that were shotted with the
ball cartridges of truth, to be
spiked by the enemy we had driv
en before us—and when, bringing
with them only the white feathers
of the coward, or the black plumes
of the mercenary, they come home
for their reward, what shall they
encounter, what have they a right
to look for, except political dam
nation and death. —Louisville
