A government by the courts ia what a portion of the people are getting tired of, and the leaven is very rapidly affect ing the whole lump. Congressman Betas' was not on hand the other day when Tom Reed was hav ing his fun with the boys. Bryan used to say that he would teach Reed a trick or two that would "settle his hash." Most people who know anything about it agreo that there never was such a volume of ulle money in this country as is now accumulated in the banks, espe cially of the east. This money surely cannot long remain idle, and must seek investment in safe lines. In the case Mrs. Anna Fieder against the city of Hastings, heard on Dec. 18th, Judge Beall sustained the demurrer of the defendant and the case was thrown out of court. The plaintiff sued the city for damages in the sum of 810,000, for permitting a house of ill-fame to be con ducted on property adjoining hers. Hastings Tribune. The interstate irrigation association hold a convention in Omaha March 21 and 22. This meeting should be attend ed by all who feel an interest in the subject Undoubtedly Nebraska land owners are becoming alive to the im portance of irrigation, and the next few years will see thousands upon thousands of acres of rich Nebraska soil placed under the influence of water raised from her streams. General Master Workman Sovereign made a speech Sunday at Des Moines to a Knights of Labor branch telling them that he was going to Winona, Minn., to speak on Monday; to St. Paul and Min neapolis to talk to the Northern Pacific employes and assure them that he would certainly violate the injunction of Judge Jenkins, as it is an outrage on all work men. His speech caused a sensation in the meeting, but was received with great appluuse. EXII OF THE CI'KKENT FUND SI'lT. Supreme Conrt Derides School FnniU Not Sulijcrt to the Deposition Law. County boards and other officials have been waiting for some time for the opin ion of the supreme court as to what the phrase "current funds" means. Tuesday of last week Justice Norval handed down the opinion in the Crete bank suit to test the applicability of the state de pository law to the permanent school fund, the object being to determine what are current funds. Following is the syllabus: The Stalo ex rel, the First National bank of Crete against J. S. Bartley, state treasurer. Opinion filed February 20, 1894, by Mr. Chief Justice Norval. 1. In construing a statute effect must le given, if possible, to every word, clause and sentence therein. In other words, a statute should be so construed aa to make all its parts harmonize with each other and render them consistent with its general scope and object. 2. The term "several current funds," as employed in section 1 of the act of the legislature of 1891, entitled "an act to provide for the depositing of state and county funds in banks," construed to mean all the moneys belonging to the state in the possession or under the con trol of the state treasurer. 3. The subject matter of said act, and the obvious scope and purpose of its many provisions leave no room for doubt that the legislature intended the statute should apply alike to each of the differ ent funds of the state treasury. 4. Where money is deposited in a bank, on an open account subject to check of the depositor, and not received as a special deposit, the bank agreeing to pay interest on the money, the trans action, although called a deposit, is in Bubstance and legal effect a loan. State vs. Keim, 8 Nebraska, 63, followed. 5. Under section 9, article viii. of the state constitution, moneys belonging to the several permanent educational funds of the state cannot be "invested or loaned except on United States or state securi ties, or registered county bonds." 6. The depositing in banks of public funds under the provisions of the depos itory law constitutes a loan and invest ment of the moneys so deposited. 7. Held, that the said law, in so far as it requires the depositing of the moneys belonging to the permanent ed ucational funds of the state in banks, contravenes section 9, article viii of the constitution, and said law is inoperative as to said funds. lnproved Stork Breeders" Association A Three Days" Congress in Columbas. He has always been accounted a public benefactor who has been successful in making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, and the truth of the old saying has gone without question, the assumption being that what is desi rable is wanted in larger quantities. The same general principle is much more strongly applicable to quality than to quantity and, when it comes to farm products of any kind, the first question of vital importance is improved seeds, breeds and varieties, and on one of the branches of agricultural industry in this country, viz: the breeding of stock, men and ladies of Nebraska, members of the state association came together last week to take council of each other. We give in another place one of the papers read as being of more general interest to readers of The Joubxal than any other, perhaps, but it would have been well could the thousands of men and women who are making their homes on Nebras ka soil could have heard these men and women in their different specialties and caught the spirit of the occasion, which no report can adequately give. After the address of welcome by Mayor Schupbach, and the feeling response by President Filley, the association imme diately proceeded to take up the subjects as marked out in the program. C. H. Searle of Edgar, Nebraska, set forth what he regarded as the peculiar excellencies of The Duroc Jersey The Coming Hog, and J. V. Wolfe, of the Poland China. Mr. Searle detailed his experience with four different breeds, and gave the decided preference to the Duroc as being strong in constitution, producing large litters, less subject to disease than the others and maturing at an early age, he having a number which at 10 months and 17 days weighed 240 lbs. each. Mr. Wolfe had a very decided prefer ence for the Poland China, and instanced recent sales where this breed had brought exceptionally high prices. We raise fine hogs for the money it brings to us for the profit there is in it, and he claimed that no breed equaled the Poland China. The after discussion was engaged in by these gentlemen and by Messrs. Tall cot, Swarteley and Mayes. S. M. Barker was not prepared with a paper on The Sheep Industry, but his remarks were listened to with marked attention. He gave a graphic picture of the depression in the business just now, when wool has brought as low as 3 cents a pound, and 80,000 head more than the usual average monthly number are being slaughtered at Chicago, and when the threatened legislation of the Wilson bill is striking a worse blow to the industry than, in his opinion, free trade itself would inflict. He made the statement that we consume about 630,000,000 lbs. of wool a year, and raise about 330 to 345, 000,000. He was of opinion that the lowest point had been reached in the sheep industry. He thought there could be but one opinion as to the effect of the Wilson bill, that it would lower the price of wool. Tho trouble is that South America and Australia can, with their cheaper wages, raise wool cheaper than we can, and if our market is free to the importation of their product, it will lessen the wages of our herders, sheerers, &c. just the difference, and this is why so many people are going out of the bus iness at this time. He punctured the common idea that wool was raw material, showing that as one of the products of the farm it most ly represented the cost of labor. There is no suit of clothes in Nebraska con taining wool whose value by weight on the market is worth S3; the other $22 to $57 going to make the value of the suit, iB represented by the labor bestowed upon it, after the farmer has disposed of it. The fact is that there is no such thing as raw material in the sense that there is no cost of labor attached to it. Mr. Barker could not see the propriety in placing wool on the free list, allowing foreign manufactured goods to sweep away our home market for home-grown wool, and destroying our manufacturing interests, and then have the foreign dealers turn to us and say: "Well, we've shut up your factories, we have destroyed your wool-raising industry; you have to have our goods, and you must now puy us the prices wo are not only able to demand but to command." Mr. Barker disclaimed any intention of touching upon politics, but said that it was a question of economics, a matter of dollars and cents to those who were in the business, and we are all in our dif ferent lines for the money there is in it for us. The paper of Prof. Ingersoll of tho agricultural department of tho state university, on Some Theories of Hered ity was listened to with close attention, and started trains of thought that will, no doubt, prove of great practical value to the members of the association. The law of uniformity, popularly stated in the saying that like produces like, is a well-recognized law of reproduction, made all the more plain in another well known maxim of heredity, viz: that a man is the son of all his ancestors; it often happening that a child resembles its grand parent in form and charac teristics, more than its parent; disease often escapes the first generation and appears as a taint in the second genera tion of progeny, and so on. Characteris tics are not altogether due to heredity; individuals of a species can and do acquire traits and transmit them, and it is by this process repeated and the judi cious application of this principle that the improved live-stock breeder is enab led to succeed in his chosen profession. The things to be avoided are bad habits, disease, weak points; the things to be gained, health, good habits and strong points. The rank and file of farmers can certainly use good graded stock, re-in-forcing their herds with strong sires. Only a few can produce these, and their success lies in three lines converging in close attention to little things: first, good judgment in selection; second, good feeding; third, good care and envi ronment. K. M. Allen of Ames read a well-prepared paper on growing and feeding beets. He is manager of the greatest cattle-feeding plant in the world, and certainly had his subject well in hand. He announced the problem of the farmer to be the greatest product from the land with the least outlay, and believed in special lines of farming, such as each one's capacity and circumstances would indicate to him. He thought good beet land in the Platte valley is destined in a few years to be worth 3100 to S150 an acre. Nebraska is the second best state in the union for this industry, Califor nia's dry season being better than ours. Good fruit lands in California are bring ing high prices; good potatoe land in Colorado the same, and there is no reason why lands in Nebraska, especially adapt ed to beet culture, should not bring extra high prices. Fred. Jewell of Platte county was called out to tell what he knew about beet culture, which he did to the edifica tion of all present. (We must here close with our notes for this week, and do the best we can with them in our next issue. Ed. Journal. Rheumatism Cured in a Day.

Kead Before The Nebraska Improved Stock Breeders Aociation at Colambtts, Neb., February 20, 1894. Members of the Nebraska Improved Stock Breeders Association : Again it becomes my duty as president of this association by your kindness to deliver what it has pleased our worthy secre tary to call "an address." With all def erence to his judgment, the term is a misnomer. My "address," as you-will find, will be bnt the homely talk of a homely man, whose only merit as presi dent of this association is his sincere in terest in the industries you represent One year ago I congratulated you upon the status of the improved stock interests of the state, and predicted for yon still brighter future prospects. I can but feel that congratulations are in order at this time. For while the great wave of financial distress of the past season has affected almost every indus try in the land, if any have been exempt from its effects, the improved stock in terests seem to be one. Prices have been maintained in a manner that is surprising. While the prices of the great agricultural staples have steadily declined by reason of the financial de pression, improved stock has at least nearly held its own. Indeed, it is an open question whether a crisis of the character of the one just passed through is not a benefit to tho interests repre sented here. Take for instance the horse industry: while the common horses have become practically worthless dur ing tho past year, tho demand for good roadsters and draft horses has been brisk, and prices fully up to former times. This has been demonstrated in almost every precinct of tho state, and the result among those farmers capable of reasoning from cause to effect cannot fail to bo beneficial to improved horse breeders. It takes time to convince the mass of farmers that the best is the cheapest in the stock interests as well as in other things, but tho idea is con stantly gaining ground. In connection with this subject and as part proof of my statement regarding improved stock values, I feel it no more than justice to instance the sale held recently by one of our most honored members. In this 6ale the prices, in stead of showing the decline to be nat urally expected in times like the present, were" beyond expectations of the most sanguine. It was in fact the second best swine sale the world has ever seen. The buyers, too, were not alone from the immediate locality, but came from be yond the limits of the state. All honor then, to the member of the Nebraska Improved Stock Association, of whom, and whose achievements, every other member of this association is, and should be, proud. I alludo, of course, to Mrs. A. M. Edwards, to whom CoL Woods, who conducted her sale, paid the follow ing glowing tribute, which can be in dorsed by every person within the sound of my voice: "England has her Florence Nightingale; France her Rosa Bonheur; America has her Mrs. A. M. Edwards, a name that as breeder of her chosen stock is known from ocean to ocean. She has by her own distinct industry and energy pushed her name and herd to the top most round of the ladder of fame, and that name and herd have called together here today from many states a larger and more representative class of breed ers than perhaps any other name or herd could assemble. We as men glory in all this. We exult and challenge the world for comparison. Our gallantry to them shall never wane. We will emulate their virtues, rejoice when they rejoice, and when they need the support of our stronger arm it shall be always ready." That Nebraska, though but little more than a quarter of a century old, should have the standing it does in the im proved stock industry of tho nation is but little short of marvelous. At the great Columbian Exhibition with the world in competition it sprang to the front and captured prize after prize. Among those whose animals were prize winners are a number of active and effi cient members of this association and to them I extend heartiest congratulations. You are deserving of your good fortune and none begrudge you it. I am proud of the achievements of the members of this association in both county and state fairs. Nebraska owes to you a debt of gratitude she can never repay. itliout boasting it can be said that no other one interest has been more conducive to the growth and prosperity of the state than that of improved stock. More than any other factor probably, has it brought before the world the wonderful and varied resources of our fair state. To it, more than any other agency, does the state owe its million of happy and contended citizens. The pa pers upon special subjects read before this association are scattered through the entire nation by publication in live stock and agricultural papers. This cannot fail to attract to our state the live, the progressive and wide awake citizen of other states and countries. I would recommend to this association especial work in the direction of edu cating the farmer regarding the live stock interests of tho state. Much can be done through tho medium of agri cultural and live stock papers, farmers' institutes and the local press, toward giving information in this respect. The farmer who keeps one team to do his work, one cow to furnish the family with milk, and two or three hogs to give him his winter's meat; who raises his grain and hay, and immediately hauls it to market is of but little value to improved stock breeders. There are too many just such farmers in every community, and much can be done by individual members of this association toward les sening the number. Once convince them that the cost of transportation of pro ducts in bulk is the greatest item of expense they have, and it will be but a little while until he will see that fed to his stock his crop will be of far greater value to him. If each farmer in Ne braska was wide awake to this fact improved 6tock interests would receive such an impetus as it has never before known. It rests largely with you wheth er or not this state of affairs may be in a measure brought about. What can I say more that would be of benefit to you ? What suggestions could I make of value to any particular de partment of this association? Manifest ly none, for each and every one of you is a specialist in his own line and noth ing I could say would be of practical benefit to you. As I stated in the be ginning of this paper I give you only a homely talk from a homely man whose sole merit lies in his interest in you and your work for the betterment of existing conditions. A gathering of this kind is one of which the state should be proud. A man who spends his life adding knowledge to a nation is honored. He is looked upon as one in advance of his fellows, a leader. a philanthropist So, also, a man whose wise counsels aid materially in guiding the "ship of state" has and should have the gratitude of his constituents. His is it in mission is the common good and that acnieving ims ooject ne snoum train wealth and honor, is not to his discredit An inventor, the work of whose brain makes the world better, and adds com fort and happiness to his fellow man's lot is to be honored. Not less than any of these, in my estimation, is the class of men gathered here today. The content ment of your fellows as well as their material interests are in a large measure in your hands. As the work of a StephenBon brought the different parts of a nation into close communication and made civilization take a great stride forward; as a Fulton with his steamboat brought nations into contact one with another; as Edison with his great and varied inventions; as with all those whose energy and brains have made the world better and happier, so it is with you, as a class. No improvement in machinery or means of communication has done more for the nation's weal than the band of men, who in the years past have been gradually raising the standard of our domestic animals and thus improving the condition of our farmers. Those who till the 6oil are the bone and sinew of a nation and any work that betters their condition is a work deserving all honor. That you should advance your own material interests in this work is natural and no one can for an instant begrudge you your well deserved prosperity. In conclusion then let me say again that I am proud to be associated with such a band of earnest men; proud of your achievements in your chosen work, and proud of the state which you have so materially aided in coming to the front Nebraska Improved Stock Breeders Association, go on in your good work, undaunted by difficulties, undismayed by trials or disappointments, and your reward will surely cotne-if it be not al ready here.

The residence of John Rickert in Col fax county burned to the ground Friday morning of last week, with nearly all its contents, including a valuable organ. We learn that there was S700 insurance on the property. The cause of tho fire is said to be mice and matches. Little Maggie, the 13-year-old daugh ter of M. Sheedy, while at school last Wednesday, and during the noon hour, when playing upon the ice on tho school ground fell in such a manner that the back of her head struck the ice so heavy that she was rendered unconscious for a long time; she was carried home, a dis tance of half a mile, and received proper and careful attention, but was unable to utter a word for several hours.
