The president's inaugural is fally up to the occasion, and is not only honest and good repnblicanism but it is, as is usual with him, most admirably expressed.- Secbctabt Shkrxax says of the news paper reporter: "He is the greatest enigma of the nineteenth century. I am interested in him always, respect .him generally, and fear him aometimaa. Bat I never cease to wonder at his resource fulness in searching for news." Gov. Holcokb in a communication calls attention to the fact that with a north and south railroad, one-half the distance to seaboard could be saved to Nebraskans, with a consequent saving of a cent a bushel on our crop of corn, amounting for 1896, to $2390,000. A man named Camprehe recently died in -Mexico at the age of 154 years, retain ing full possession of his mental facul ties to the last A priest in the church which he attended and who is now 84 years old, says he remembered Camprehe as being an old man when he waa a little boy. The country's net circulation the 1st of March waa $1,675,694,953 against 1, 528,742,057 a year ago. During Febru , ary there were increases in gold coin, silver certificates, treasury notes, cur rency certificates and National bank notes. The principal decrease was in legal tender notes, nearly $8,000,000. Mas. Hexbt Wakd Beschkb died at Stamford, Connecticut, Monday morning March 8, at 10:42. Her maiden name was Eunice White and she was born in Wast Sutton, Mass., Aug. 26, 1812. Had she lived until just after midnight, she would have passed away on the tenth anni versary of the death of her famous hus band, and at the same time of day. The legislature has decided to repu- diate 40 per cent of the debt the state owes the newspaper men for publishing , the constitutional amendments. That will make the state just CO per cent leas a thief than the man who takes a paper several years and then stops it with a . government postal card because the edi tor wants his pay. Norfolk Journal. In round figures the revenues, accord ing to the statement just sent out by the treasury, fell $6,000,000 in January short of the expenditures, and the shortage in the seven months ending with January was $44,000,000. The deficit in that month, therefore, was somewhat below the average of the fiscal year thus far. It is a rather portentous fact that the shortage in this fiscal year is much more " than twice as great' aa it was last year, when it amounted to $19,000,000 for the seven months ending with January. At the present rate of shrinkage the deficit will pass beyond the $70,000,000 mark by the end of the year, June 30. This will beat all records, the highest figure pre viously touched, that for the twelve months ending with June, 1894, being lightly under $70,000,000. The neoes- - aity for ending this discreditable state of things and for bringing the government's income up to its outgo as soon aa this can be done becomes more- and more urgent as time passes. Globe-Democrat. THE CAPITAL. Lincoln, March 9, 1897. . The arrest of Ex-State Treasurer Bart ley adds nothing to the situation here except the mere incident of the arrest. It neither adds to nor subtracts from his shortage or his guilt It atects no one xeept that it is one step toward the' enforcement of the law. It maVnt bo que richer or poorer except those who are employed and those who employ ia the still farther legal proceediaga. It electa Nebraska people adversely as an addition to the disgrace and humiliation of the state. It affects them favorably aa a aign that their laws, though trampled on and broken, are still supreme. It aays to all present and future public omcers, "you may fool the people and betray them, but you cannot fool the law and scape its penalties." It affects the republican party ad verasly as an additional stain upon its past, but favorably as a warning that its future must be upon higher ground. It affects, populism aa an opportunity to teed, as it is ever wont to feed, upon the carrion 'rot of distrust and hate, to still further parade its shoddy wares of pre tauded "honesty, to carry out with still balder audacity its crimes against the constitution, to still further deaden the moral Boaaihilitisa of the people, to keep the state, on a etill more downward and dagradiag trend and to carry out, unob asrved by the paaplsjwBo aomettmee sea hut one thing at a time, the petty per- plots of its manhiaa, which ia bow ob a downward grade in the lower strata of cheap politica. lobbyists who dog the heels of industry and pray upon the of the hour, aelate each I chuckle in. the Jade corridora, the aet of aad Crtwabu, xra.

The people of France in 93 could see the paraaitaa who had plundered them, but they could not aee the pirates who ware steering the craft of revolution. This is "93 in Nebraska. The people can aee the plunderers of the treasury, but they cannot aee the pirates who are steering the ship of state towards revolution and anarchy. But they will see. And they will realize in due time that the state cannot get out of this aloagh of despond by walking over the prostrate form'of a broken constitution and a denied ballot The vote of the people on these amendments was count ed and returned by the various county counting -boards, when there was no conspiracy or incentive among them to commit fraud. What reason is there to presume that these county canvassers returned jdl other votes correctly, but made mistakes in this one ballot of 30,000 votes? Why not recanvass all the votes? Perhaps there is a 30,000 mis take in returning the vote on the legis lative and state ticket? If the election returns had elected this fusion majority in the legislature but defeated the state ticket, would not then this recount scheme have embraced also a recount of the votes on state omcers? Why do they recount the Kirkpatrick votes and not the Hol oomb votes? Is it not because the re turns showed Holoomb elected and a recount waa not necessary in his case, but in the case of Kirkpatrick a re count is necessary and 30,000 more votes are necessary? Ia Kirkpatrick so em inent, a jurist, is a populist supreme court so desirable aa to justify the de filement of the ballot and the constitu tion? And what will it avail the people, after all republican, offenders have been punished, to know that the supreme court, the inner citadel of justice, is for six long years to be defiled by the pres ence of men who, while swearing that they will rapport the constitution, must neoeaaarily blush for shame at the thought that their own seating has been brought about by the breaking of that constitution? Imagine Judge Kirkpat rick and Judge Mevill holding up their hands, and repeating the solemn words, "I do solemnly swear to support the con stitution of the state!" Can they do it? Dare they do it? When the recount is completed and the 30,000 votes are found, aa they will be, will Kirkpatrick dare to take his seat? Could he sit on that bench and look the lawyers of this state in the face? The lawyers know the law and the people know what the vote was. The canvass is proceeding on the "put up job" plan upon which the whole scheme is founded. The public may expect some interesting developments as to the method of this canvass. If this populist supremacy at the state house has' given an opportunity to purge the republican party, and at the same time an opportunity for the public to see and to measure the full depth and mean ing of the designs and conspiracies of populism against the constitution and the ballot then this dark hour of em bezzlement on the one hand and con spiracy on the other is a sign of coming daylight. J. W. Johnson. ADOPT LEXOW'S REPORT. Attacks Tniiti la Vlgereas Idutgaagst PslNtla Oat Their Evil. Chicago, March 9. A special to the Times-Herald from New York says: The Lexow investigating committee has adopted the report as drawn by Senator Lexow. The report attacks trusts in vigorous language, pointing out their evils and dangers, but it reaches the conclusion that under de chmoaaof the courts no new laws can be passed to curtail the powers of com MnarioBS of capital without conflicting with the clauses of the federal legisla tion which declare the rights of prop arty and of contract. Therefore, the committee, strongly as it feels the need or runner restriction, is forced to con tent itself with the recommendation that the powers of the attorney general be enlarged so as to give him greater opportunities to discover whether the existing law forbidding combinations in restraint of trade is being violated. The inability of small producers to pete with such combinations as the trust, is instanced aa one of the objectionable results of consolida tion of interest The evasion of taxes, the watering of- capital stock and the BHudpulation of trust stock in Wall street are alluded to. Senator McCarren, one of the minor ity in ember ii of the committee, will a report dissenting from Senator 'a treatment of the testimony ra tothe sugar trust The report, which contains something more than 10,000 words, will be submitted to the legislature aad ordered printed.

Ullaals Cvmgrmuman Makca Far Keeaiax Aparupriatfaas Dawn la taa Fatara-Tke Tax Sfcavs Maw Af. all .Ware Caadtoca aa 8 a Daaaeeratlc Staaaaalat - WismKOT0S,'31arc.'-l tive Gannon (His.), chairman of the appropriations committee of the bouse, and Mr. Sayers (Tex.), who is at the head of the minority of the committee, have prepared their reviews of the ap propriations of the congress just ended. Mr. Cannon's statement is of more than usual significance on account of resolutions and suggestions he makes for methods for keeping down appropria tions in the future. Mr. Cannon makes the total aoDroDriations submitted to the president for his approval at the last session, including the general de ficiency, which failed in conference, $517,103,458, or S25,S8S,276 kas than the estimates submitted to congress by the executive. The appropriatious for the first ses sion were $515,845,195, making a total for the congress of $1,043,437,018, which he says, is $49,795,812 more than the ap propriations for the preceding congress. The increases, he points out, include: Fortifications, $12,503,467; for river and harbor works, including contracts there for, $2,476,500; for public buildings, none of which were authorized by the Fifty fourth congress, $2,342,594; for the postal service, ll,454,b05; for the naval estab lishment, $8,947,523, and on account of permanent appropriations, mainly to meet interest and sinking fond charges for the bonds issued by the Cleveland administration, $24,983,744. "The appropriations' are," aaid Mr. Cannon, "in my judgment, in excess of the legitimate demands of the public service. But this -fact, while greatly to be deplored, is not, in my opinion, properly chargeable to the action of either of the great' political parties of the country. It is the result of condi tions, accruing out of the rules of the house and out of the rules, practices and so-called courtesies of the senate, to gether with the irresponsible manner whereby the executive submits to con gress estimates to meet expenditures for the conduct of the government If the appropriations made by congress have been extravagant and beyond the rev enues of the government, how much more so have been the estimates of the executive. The record shows that in no instance during many years past have the appropriations made by congress measured up to the full amount recom mended and asked for by the adminis tration. "It is said ours is the only govern ment in the civilized world wherein the administrative branch apparently as sumes no degree of responsibility to the taxpayers for its demands for the ex penditure of public money, and that ours is the only government wherein the legislative branch alone exercises the function or duty of a check upon public expenses without any considera ble degree of co-operation on the part of the executive. It is hoped, and, I believe, that the incoming president, with his long experience as a distin guished member of the legislative branch of this government, will exact of his cabinet - counsellors some degree of wholesome effort in the direction of intelligent recommendation of publio expenditures, to the end that congress may not have to strive unaided and alone toward bringing our public ex penditures within the sum of our pub lic revenues." He criticizes the action of the senate in always "loading up" the general de ficiency bill and making it a "vehicle for all sorts of claims." Makas Pertinent Sacgaatloaa. In discussing the -remedies far keep ing down appropriations, Mr. Cannon makes the following pertinent sugges tions: "The remedy for this evil is for the great committees of the house and senate on the judiciary, claims and war claims to formulate an intelligent meas ure that will provide a tribunal of final jurisdiction,-whither these claims may be sent for full and intelligent consider-, ation. By such a measure those who have honest and legitimate claims against the government can be paid, and that some of the claims above re ferred to are just and should be paid, there is no doubt. But claims that are based upon fraud can be stigmatized as fradulent by such a tribunal and con gress once for all, can be relieved of the annual importunity for their considera tion. There are too many appropriation bills. Instead of 14 there ought not to be more than 10. The agricultural bill ought to be made, as it was prior to 188.1, a part of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, which provides for the official staffs and ex penses of the several executive depart ments, except the agricultural depart ment. "The army, fortification,-military academy and naval appropriation bills ought to be consolidated into one. - By such consolidation much time now wasted in irrelevant general debate and formal proceedings would be saved to the house." Sayera' Stateaaeat. Mr. Sayers, in his statement, makes the total appropriations of this congress $54,197,812 in: excess of the Fifty-third congress; $16,3:12,470 over the Fifty-, second congress, and $7,757,908 in ex cess over the Fifty-first congress. He says: "The present congress, organ ised in both branches by the Republi cans, has made, or sent to the presi dent for approval, including, the gen eral deficiency bill, as agreed, upon, ap propriations in excess of those made by the Fifty-third, congress, which was controlled by the Democrats, to the ex tent of $M,179.812. The principal ale menu of this inareas are on account of the fortifications, river and harbor works, the postal service and the naval establishment. In addition to this enormous huapase in direct appropria tions, thisBBgress at its first session authorized contract liabilities for river and harbor works, fortifications, in crease of. the navy and other public works amounting to $75,81f,480. At least two-thirds or one-half of this large sum remains to be provided for by fu ture congresses to that extent that It constitutes a fixed charge against the revenues of the country, which, by rea son of extravagant appropriations, now faUs short $5,000,000 a month of meet ing the expenditures of the govern ment" After dhKsaaiag in detail the increases, he concludes: "The appropriation for the support of the federal government have grown to such startling propor tions within the last doaaa years, aa to render it-well nigh impossible to devise mesas of raising revenue wherewith to asset the expsadltuios.

Eohler which took place Wednesday was well attended. Stock with the exception of horses, which sold at prices ranging from $13 to $35, sold well. One hundred tons of hay waa bought by S. S.
