Tlie Nebraska legislature is trying to
dismiss an officer from the United
States army , a case never before heard
of. It takes a republican legislature to
give us lessons in politics.
When the chairman of the republi
can committee on contested elections
takes a vote he says : "All in favor of
expelling this fusion member and giv
ing a seat to a republican say aye.
Those opposed signify it by the same
sign. The ayes have it. The republi
can is seated. ' * Lincoln Independent.
Ten da > s before the war was do
ciared against Spain , siiys the Noncon
formist. the presidents-aid in a message
to congress : "I .speak not of forcib.e
annexation , for that cannot bo thought
' o
of. That , by our code of morality ,
would be criminal aggression. " Does
the president now moan to acknowledge
ho was wronir in saying that ? j
G. A. Eckles , "the smoothest poll- !
tician in the northwest , " has been appointed - '

JU ay ward is undoubtedly the choice
of the republicans of this state for
United states Senator , but L ) E
Thompson of Lincoln has the bar'l and
he says nit. Wonder how our republi
can friends feel , anyhow. The legisla
ture adjourned over Saturday for Hay-
ward's express benefit , bnt the former
candidate for governor received two
votes less Monday than he did the pre
ceding Friday
In the Montana legislature several
weeks ago Senator Whiteside laid down
§ 80,000 and declared the monev had
been given him as a bribe to influence
the cause of a certain aspirant for U S.
Senator. Whiteside's seat was prompt
ly contested and we see by the daily
papers he has been unseated , a majority
of his party colleagues voting against
him. Whiteside ought to have known
better than to expose the attempted
purchase of a senatorial seat , and in
stead of turning the "boodle" over to
the state he should have pocketed it
and been a statesman.
A bill introduced into the state SPU-
ate by a subservient tool of the money
sharks provides that in foreclosure
cases , where a defendant wishes to ap
peal from a decision of the court below ,
he must give bond for the payment of
reasonable rent on the premises from
the time of the appeal , in case his ap
peal is not sustained. The law night
as well provide that no defendant in
foreclosure shall have a right of appeal.
Such a law would have the same effect
and it would be a great cal more
honest. When a farmer reaches the
f > rec.O3urc stage his means are utterly
exhaust- and it would be as impossible
> r hi f 10 g ve such a bond as it would
b3 for him to biry the Union Pacific
railroad.Ve do not I * now what the
title of this bill is but it should be
labeled "An act to steal a poor man's
land by due proces of la\v. " ' Such a
bill is unnecessary as well as unjust ,
because the mortgage draws interest
on his b > nd clear up to the time of the
s eritfs j-ale and ihcr'f-iro he cannot
possible MI tor any loss. The first time
the reformed republicans get u wh.ick
at the farmers they nail them to the
cross. N ouconformist.
The Illinois state boar-1 of live stock
commissioners filed their thirteenth an
nual report I > < comber 21. It contains
many items regarding the contagious
diseases of animals. It sa\s that dur
ing the year there were three otitbrea s
of southern fever among cattle in the
state , and exposure in each case w.i.s
not due to illegal importation of south
ern cattle. A full account is given of
experiments conducted near Uockford
by the board , and these demonstrated
that southern cattle dipped in extra
dynamo oil and sulphur are incapable ,
as has been claimed by the bureau of
animal industry , of conveying southern
fever to northern native cattle. Re
garding tuberculosis in cattle the report
calls attention to the liability of a spread
of the disease to humans through milk
and beef ; speaks of tests which proved
the efficiency of tuberculin as a diag
nostic agent ; savs that fewer dairy far
mers than usual sought to have s.ucb
tests made because they had to sustain
the loss if tuberculosis was discovered
and the cattle consequently were con
demned to be killed and then asks the
legislature to appropriate $ ' 20,000 a year
for the reimbursement of farmers whose
cattle are so destroyed. Tuberculosis
is found to be wide-spread in Illinois , j
and the appropriation is urged as the
best and only efficient way of stamping
out the disease..National Rural. r
Live Stock Notes ,

Take care of your horses : the day is
not far distant when they will bring
you fair money. Prices are advancing
slowly but surely , and good horses are
not hard to sell.
The stockman who finds himself
short on hay after wo have had such a
pleasant , open winter , will certainly
lav himself liable to being charged with
gross carelessness if nothing more.
Speaking of Sweeney 13ros. ' ranch in
this county the Whitman S'MI 5:138 :
"All of the cattle on the range are in
prime condition and have not been fed j
previous to the late storm and only
now in order to hold them upon their
range there being no weak ones. i'iie
late calves are grained , have fine shel
ter. . They have thirteen pedigreed
bulk , nine of the thirteen being regis
tered. and some registered cows , these
ail belonging to the Durham family. '
We ure correct ! } ' iu.ormed that the
lleiefo.ds have bee disposed of and in
the future different metho Is will be
p.irsued. "

al to make selections from the buyers
could allord to discriminate a little but
as they wanted i he cattle the\ bought
most everything. Stackers and feed
ers in first hands were not very numer
ous , but there were quite a good many
in the hands < f speculators. The re
sult was that the market was by no
means active. Good cattle were in
demand and sold fairly steady. 13eef
steers went as high as $ . " > 20 ; cows sold
for $3.2.fj ( § 4.25 ; while stockers and
feeders ranged all the way from § 4. IS
to $4.75.
John Clay Jr. has returned from an
extended trip , during which he visited
the principal western livestock markets.
He found matured cattle scarce , with
prospects of a decided shortage of beef
cattle for many months to come , and
he e < pects to see prices go considerably
higher , with prospects for a decided
advance after next April. Mr. Clav
has advices from the northern ranges
the numbers of cattle on the open range
are mush smaller than in recent years.

The early winter weather in Montana
was intenselv cold , but of late it has
been very mild , with not much snow ,
and cattle are in generally good condi
