The president's inaugural is fally up

and good repnblicanism but it is, as is
usual with him, most admirably expressed.-

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.

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

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

carrion 'rot of distrust and hate, to still
further parade its shoddy wares of pre

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

So long as the searchlight of public

the vote counters who are to find
JOgOOO more votes than were cast for the
aaMBdafteat, can report to the ring pri
vately the daily results which are denied
the public, and tbV mangled constitu
tion can bleed unheeded by the people.
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.

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.

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. If the new ad-

Bellwood Gazette: Mr. Diadorua
Spencer, a pioneer of this county, and
well known to all the older residents of
this city, died at his home in Sherwood,
Mich., Thursday, Feb. 26, at the ad
vanced age of 98.
Madison Reporter: A marriage cere
mony was performejd in this city not
long ago, during which the groom oc
cupied the unenviable position of being
between a sheriff and an irate brother
with a sixehooter.
Fremont Tribune: The basis of the
suit brought against the Nebraska
Creamery by patrons for $1,700 worth of
cream, it ia understood, will be neglect
of the association to publish a statement
of its condition. In Bueh case the indi
vidual stock holders can be held.
Waboo Wasp: N. B. Berggren has
enroute from New Mexico two train loads
of sheep making about 15,000 bead. On
the arrival of these sheep, N. B. Berg
gren & Co. will have received 115,000
sheep since they commenced buying
them last fall. He is now feeding 8,500
on his home ranch near Waboo; he baa
5,000 more on feed at his old homestead
three miles east of Wahoo.
Schuyler Sun: The sale at the farm
of Mrs. CJias. 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. Green for 50 eta per ton;
this, is 40 cts. lees than cost of putting
up. rjgnt hundred bushels of potatoes
sold for 25 to 30 eta per bushel.
.Cedar Rapids Outlook: Last year
hired hands on the farm were paid $18
per month, this year they are being
engaged for $16 per month. When corn
is ten cents a bushel, $16 a month with
board is good wages, and the hired hand
makes more clear money than his em
ployer. Many prefer to lease their land
and get one third of the crop than to
cultivate.it with hired help and get all
the crop.
David City Republican: Mr. Beno
Meyel, of Omaha, .has made the proposi
tion to our citizens that if he can secure
40 acres of land and $30,000, one-half of
which may be paid in beets and the other
half conditionally, that he will present
their proposition to European capitalists
who have delegated hitn for that purpose,
and to which country he expects to go in
the early spring. For this bonus he
promises a Biigar factory with a capacity
of manufacturing into sugar, 300 tons of
beets per day. He haa secured this same
bonus from West Point, Nebraska.
Seward Reporter: Brown k Fletcher,
the butchers, met with a severe loss last
Thursday, eight head of their fat cattle
being drowned in the Blue river. They
had some 65 head of cattle in their yards
west of the city, which they had been
feeding all winter. The cattle rubbed
on the west gate until they got it open,
and all ran down to the river. A num
ber of them got on the ice in a group,
and the ice broke. Ten head feu into
the water, and all but two were drowned.
The cattle were in good, condition for
market, and worth about $40 per head.
The loss is a severe one to Measra Brown
& Fletcher, and will take the profits off
of their winter's feeding.
Msdison Chronicle: The special elec
tion held in Norfolk, Monday .to vote
bonds for the Yankton A Norfolk rail

thirds. This is the third time Norfolk
has voted bonds for this and we hope
they now get it The road ia to. be com
pleted and have trains running into
Norfolk by Jan. 1st, 1896, in order to
secure the aid voted.; The completion of
this road will give this section a through
line to the great lakes and undoubtedly
provide a better market for our surplus
grain and live stock, because of lower

Schuyler Quill: On Wednesday even
ing the business men and citizens of
