The Nebraska Chnutiuiqnnn is

started in Orleans. The name de
scribes the character and purpose
of the publication. Prof. H. R.
Esterbrook is the editor.
i The debts of the nations of the
world ure growing , whether for
good or evil. In 1875 the total
debt of the lending fourteen na
tions was S21G20,000,000. And
in 1895 , despite the substantial
1(1. ( j reduction in the English , Ameri-
Hj 1 can , Spanish and German debts ,
H there is a net increase of § 4,280 ,
000,000.

I There is a distinct , well defined ,
I determined opposition to bounties ,
Hj > bonuses and bonds in this state ,
Bj I ; and The Teibune does not wish
Hjj , , to be uuderstood as discouraging
Hlf such a sentiment among the peo-
jlj j pie , Let each enterprise rest upon
HI &a own basis , and none be built
up at the expense of any other ,
I It is all right to encourage the
I 1 sugar beet industry , but ten cent
I I corn will not stand any bonus.
HI I The annual New Year rumor
HI 1 that passes will be scarcer than
HI V hen's teeth after January 1st , is
) now being exercised by the press.
I ' They ought to be , but will not.
Hi The fact that the joint pasB com-
Hi mitiee of the several roads met on
H | last Saturday } } } Omaha has caused
H consternation among thoRO ; Vuo nre
H ocenstoined to tiaVel : at tile expense "
H i of others. It is to be hoped that
m the runioi- May prove true in ft lar-
H j ger degree at leaBb tliftil in the
H past. The pass system is wrong
H in principle and corrupt in prac-
B tice at best.
H Governor Pingree , the newly-
H elected governor of Michigan , pro-
H poses to make it warm for the rail-
H roads and other corporations oper-
H • ating in his state , in the Michigan
H legislature , this winter. He has
H some ideas , as he expresses it , that
H he proposes , if possible , to have
H , enacted into laws. Among them
H rate for rail-
i is a 2-cent passenger -
H roads in order that the poor man
H may ride on the same rate with the
H man able to buy a 1000 mile mile-
H age book. He proposes further
B a uniform i educed freight rate that
K i will prevent discrimination against
B 1 communities having no railroad
H competition ; he proposes further
H ! to compel railroads and other cor-
H porations such as telegraph , tele-
H phone and electric light companies
H to pay the same rate of taxes on
H their assessed valuation as any pri-
H vate individual pays on the valua-
H tion of his property ; he also favors
H j a law prohibiting stock watering
H , and over capitalization and similar
H schemes for enriching stock and
H bond holders ; he .would refer the
H granting of valuable municipal
H franchises to the people before ac-
H tion thereon , and will ask for a
R j primary election law in place of
H the old corrupt caucus system. In
H ' a word the new governor proposes
H ; to stir up things with a longsharp
H stick. Beatrice Express.
Ifyou want something eleqant and
( fashionable , of the latest pattern ,
H see Sutton. He has it , and will en-
H grave it for you free , while you wait ,
H i and it's the only place in town.
