Mobe real estate transfers in different parts of Nebraska this year than for ereral years past. It is to be hoped that Gladstone's pamphlet on the Eastern question will rouse intelligent, liberty -loving men of Europe to a true sense of the situation. Axoxa the Greek troops on the fron tier there -is an increasing desire to try conclusions with the Turks. Military preparations are being pushed through out the kingdom. A deaf and dumb man named W. F. Cochran was killed at Blair Tuesday of last week, while walking on the track. He lived at Council Bluffs and had been visiting relatives at Blair. In Havana $5.00 in gold is worth $8.90 in paper. It is reported that Salvador Cisneros y Betancourt, president of the Cuban republic, is dead, and that Ties President Bartolomo Maceo succeeds him as president. It will be the aim of republicans to secure tariff legislation just as soon as possible. The house is almost ready for action and the measure will have smooth sailing there, but in the senate, it is apt to strike a large sized snag. It now appears that Cleveland had twenty-four policeman to guard the white house night and day. Twenty of them have been released from duty and ordered back to their beats as members of the metropolitan police force. One of Congressman Sulloway'a New Hampshire oopstttuents wrote to him the other day about a pension bill. Mr. Sulloway replied: "Only two obstacles stand iu the way of passing your bill Jehovah and Tom Reed. I think I can manage Jehovah if you look after Reed." E. Cubtis, a business man of New Orleans, made a contract for through travel to the prize fight at Carson, and having a badly sprained ankle, insisted on the strict fulfilment of the contract, and it was fulfilled, although he was the sole occupant the greater part of the way. Bent Lewis of Burt county, says the Fremont Tribune, purchased a couple of carloads of cattle just before election and placed them on feed. He recently ship ped them and in casting up accounts finds that he received 25 cents a bushel for the corn he fed them, besides having a bunch of fat hogs as additional profit. Gov. Holooub's eagerness to place his brother-in-law on the supreme bench has already cost the state more than $35,000, and the end is not yet, for should he call out the militia as threatened, override the courts, there is no telling where the threat will land us. The Sun has con tended all the time that the legislature has no authority in this matter and we predict the courts will so determine. The constitution defines the manner in which these questions shall be decided and not even a pop legislature has any legal right to override that institution. Stand up for Nebraska. StJSd ward Sun. Dr. P. Penta has studied the fingers and toes of 4500 criminals, and finds a deficiency in the size or number of toes quite frequent among them, although very rare among ordinary men. He has also observed that prehensile toes, mark ed by a wide space between the great toe and the second toe, is a coskhtiosi quite comsMSi among criminals, also a webbed condition of the toes, as appmwiaiBtiow to the tarisss feet of some savages. The little toes are also rudimentary in many cases, showing a tendency toward the four-toed animal foot; but the most common, of J1 the abnormalities was the webbed condition of the toes.

Blackstoue, if I can quale from mem ory correctly, defines law as being "A rule of action, prescribed by the chief power of the state, commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong." la Nebraska, the chief power of the state is the will of the people expressed by the ballot. The majority rales. They make the rule of actions which governs, not oaly the oitisen bat the public official. We bare three departments in our state foverameat: the legislative, the execu tive, and the judiciary. The people, by their constitution, have prescribed the limits of power which each of these departments may exercise. Neither may tresspass upon the other. No two of them can rule the state with out the other. Ii the legislature enacts a measure, that measure is law so long as it goes uachaUenged. But if any citizen chal lenges the measure, then it stops, and its fores is held in abeyance until the judi ciary derides that it is within the con stitution. If it were not for this check upon, the legislative power, it might, if in accord with the executive, go on enacting laws without limit until the constitution, the essence of the people's will, would be set aside. Such a condi tion would be revolution. The hum blest citizen of the state, the poorest man, the weakest woman, or the smallest child, may stand before a legislative en actment and deny its force until the court has pronounced it law. In a community like ours, the progress of the people toward higher civilization is measured by their tendency to pro ceed with their government along the prescribed lines as laid down by the constitution. If a large proportion of the people at any particular time, for any particular partisan purpose, mani fests a disposition to over-ride their own constitution by changing it in an irreg ular way to suit some particular present political situation, then it is fair to say. that the community is in disorderly, lawless, and revolutionary mood. Each state in the Union has a charac ter, an individuality, which is the basis of its reputation. Ohio has a good rep utation, because its people are orderly and law-abiding. Mississippi has a bad reputation, because the people there break their own laws by common con sent. The reputation of a state affects also the reputation of each individual in the state. An honest farmer or business man in Ohio has a better standing than the same kind of a man has in Missis sippi. If it were wired to Nebraska today that a hundred thousand families of Ohio people were ready to come to this state and be citizens, that a like number of families from Mississippi were also ready to come, and that it was left to Nebraska to choose which it would accept, what would be the choice? The people, who have homes and farms and business interests to protect and who want to live peaceably and securely un der the law, would undoubtedly choose the Ohio families. But if the choice was left to the present governor, the present legislature, the present fusion caucus and the omnipresent private secretary, the Mississippi people would be invited, because they would be natural allies in the lawless and revolutionary proceed ings now going on. The Ohio people, if they were here, would say, "Submit the recount act to the court and see if it is constitutional before you put it into force." The Mis sissippi people would say, "Damn the court! Whenever we get hold of a rope let's pull on it, court or no court." Now, Nebraska has come to the part ing of the ways. We will proceed either by the Ohio or the Mississippi method. There is a collision between law and lawlessness. The engines are rnshing together with tremendous force. If the engine of law is borne down and crushed by the shock, then the train of state government is on a down grade toward Mississippi conditions. The people here at Lincoln begin to see the issne now as they did not at first. The sound of the clash is in every ear. Never before did the question come so squarely before the people, "Is there a constitution, is there a court, is there law, and is there restraint upon the governor and the legislature as well as upon the people?" Let us retrace the steps which have brought us to the danger line of an archy, and which today attracts the attention of every reading man in the United States. First the people, years ago, by their votes, adopted a constitution which is the basis of all statutory law, and gov erns the governor, the courts, and the legislature as well as the common people. In this constitution is provided that it cannot be changed except the people, by their votes, signify their consent. Twelve amendments to this constitu tion were submitted to the people. The people voted on these amendments, counted and returned their votes and declared by these returns that they did not want the amendments. Then the governor and legislature, being in con trol, said: "It would be a great advan tage to us to have this one particular amendment adopted. We will therefore set aside these returns which the people have made, will create a new counting board of our own, and will count these ballots and make a return of our own." Then they passed House Roll No. 8. They gagged the mouth of every protes tor in their caucus. They put the caucus collar about the neck of every honest man, locked it, and the governor held the key. All this time the people looked on in differently. They had been betrayed by some republican officials, and the ten dency of the people, when they have been betrayed by one set of politicians, is to give their confidence to some other est of politicians without being very partic ular as to just what becomes of it The people said "yes, this fusion legis lature is ring ruled and reckless, just as republican legislatures were, but they can't be much worse. This is the kind of philosophy with which the average citizen solaces himself until the down ward trend is so precipitous that he be comes alarmed. Thousands of people who condoned the acta of this legislature a few weeks ago are now wrought up to the highest tension, and are watching every new move with the keenest' interest All the time they were preparing to defile the ballot and seize the supreme court by force, they beat the torn torn of honest pretentions in the ears of the pabUe. They played the people with hig'setrishe: of toe tjnpiiiiience game or "uanada BUL to tha finer bnaooo. tint, in f h uptime, he declared that the coventor had oalyfae most honorable intentions. The governor himself, on every possible occa sion, took pains to say over and over again that be was honorable in his inten tions. Edmundeon, the oil inspector and the oil ejector, spewed out this oil of honest pretentions over-the troubled waters from morning till night, week in and week out. No local restraint was attempted against this conspiracy until j every pactac means was exhausted. They refused a nonpartisan board. They refused an open oount Every one of the ballots had been counted openly before the public at the time of the election. Now they were to be counted in secret. The court was appealed to. A restrain ing order was issued. eommaadiaaT the counters to desist and hold tk baUotel -. V?S . until the coBstitutieaality of the'aet was decided. Then the snirit'of Mississippi rose up in Nebraska and said: "We will count these ballots and count them our way, court or bo court, 'constitution or no constitution damn the constitution." Then a committee of the house broke into the room where the ballots were and seised them by force. They are not our ballots bow. They are bastard ballots disowned, discredited, sad tainted with: fraud. Hedhwd's exposure has startled the whole state. He says thousands of ballots were miscounted. He boldly charges fraud and aks the governor to investigate. The governor promptly dis misses Hedlund who exposed the fraud. Republicans in the house moved for in vestigation but the populists voted it down. This is the way reform goes on at the state eapitoL You who think I have been too severe on the populists, and have put too much stress oa this recount matter, come and see for your selves. J. W. Johnson. Of course all you people knowalready that the prize fight at Carson, Nevada, last week between Corbett and Fitzsim- mons, was won by the latter in the four teenth round. Tt was oneof the greatest contests of the kind known to the history of this country. It lasted fifty-three minutes and forty-five seconds, the actual fighting time being thirteen minutes less. There is an innate love of contest in mankind, and whether it is on the platform in debate; over the social game requiring skill of a different kind; on the battle field where men are fiercely engag ed in trying to kill each other, there is more or less interest, and while it is true that "the world loves a lover," it is also trne that the ordinary world loves a strong fighter. Someone has defined evil as "good in the making," or "a lower form of goodness;" certain it is, iu cases like this, we can all absorb lessons of self-denial, lessons of -hard work and practice, abstinence from every form of life or every habit that would tend to weaken us for our true life-battles; watchfulness in the actual contest, so as to be able to take advantage of favorable opportunities; the necessity of clear and accurate perception of facts and an accurate judgment to weigb their im portance, but there is no use to get up prize-fights to illustrate these principles, and the sooner these brutal exhibitions of animality are done away with, the better will it be. Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling were hanged at Newport, Kentucky, Saturday, for the murder of Pearl Bryan last year. Both were cool and nervy to the last and died protesting their inno cence and declaring that their confes sions were false and made for effect on the governor. The crime is familiar to most readers of newspapers. The girl was a graduate of the Oreencastle (Indi ana) high school, was vivacious, pretty, fond of society and very popular, but she got into bad company and kept up a clandestine correspondence with the un principled young men, who finally mur dered her in a vain endeavor to keep their crime from publicity. There are several lessons wrapped up in the history of the crime, among them being that there are forces in human nature that are to be kept in control of reason. The first step taken in the wrong direction is to be avoided, but, if taken, is to be retraced as soon as possible. The Fullerton News is responsible for the following "notice": "Wanted To learn the whereabouts of one N. Secor Hyatt, who was commissioned at the late election by the voters of this dis trict to represent them in the state legislature. If the gentleman in ques tion has been present during the mem orable session now rapidly drawing to a close the fact is not disclosed in the de liberations of that body. Any one fur nishing the desired information will be awarded n chromo." MISSING SCHOOL FUND WARRANT. Preoldent of Chemical National xplahu How It irt Negotiated. New York, March 23. In reference to the temporary disappearance of the warrant for $200,000 appropriated by the suite of Nebraska to reimburse the school and for money lost in the col lapse of the Capital National bank at Lincoln, Neb., President Williams of the Chemical National bank, which ne gotiated' the warrant, said today: "We bought the warrant from the Omaha National bank in the spring of 1895, and everything was quite regular. It was later paid to us through the same bank. The transaction was simple and perfectly regular. The Omaha Na tional bank received the warrant in proper course from the state treasurer, and that is all we know about it" Exonerate Speaker Bjers. Des Moines, March 28. The house committee to investigate the charge that Speaker Byers was improperly in fluenced by building and loan lobbyists in the appointment of committees last winter, will report completely exonerat ing Byers. The man who wrote a let ter claiming to have exerted the influ ence in legislation by disbursing $2,400 is severely denounced for seeking to make people believe he hastrafficedin the honor of members so as to get money for himself. The evidence shows Byers did not know of influence alleged to have been brought to bear upon him. Expealtlaa Bill Goes to Geveraor. Lixooui, March 23. The Transmis sissipi exposition appropriation bill has gone to the governor for his approval. The last touches were put upon it by the presiding officers of the senate and the house, and the chairman of the commit tee on engrossed and enrolled bills de livered it to Governor Hokxmbat6 o'clock last evening. The day in the house was devoted principally to the discnamoa of the bills relating to the foreclosure of mortgages. Ice la Gere' la a Narrow BeaeV. Yankton, S. D., March 28.

Should it do so with the gorge in this particular bend a general overflow will be the result. - Ceraett Calla Oa Fltail asoaa. San Fkancisco, March 23.

The day of the tariff debate in the hones rather tame, both front, a apvctaoukr and an oratorical staadpoiat. Thosjal leries were well filled all day and. the members on the floor Batoned conscien tiously, but there was an absence both of that sharp cross tiring which keeps! the nerves on edge and that bruuani' eloquence which inspires and holds the imagination. The opening of the bV bate was delayed over two bouts by the full reading of the bill of 182 pages, and this to begin with, had a somewhat de pressing influence. The Republican leaders insisted on this to avoid trouble in the future, should the consideration of the bill not be completed under 'the five minute rule, if a claim that the bill bad not been read in full in the house, a! thing which happened in the cases of both the McKinley and Wilson bills. Only four speeches were made at the day's session. Mr. Dingley, chairman of the ways and means committee, opened in an hour's speech for the ma jority, and Wheeler (Ala.) fired the broadside for the opposition. The plans of the Democrats had miscarried. Mr. Bailey, leader of the opposition, had decided to close the debate, amTMr. McMillin of Tennessee had been selesfsd to reply to Mr. Dingley, but at the Just' moment it was learned that Mr. MeMil linhad been unable to prepare himself owing to the illness of his wife. The task therefore devolved on Wheeler. The latter was unprepared, but never theless took the floor for an hour. Bell (Colo. ) blazed the path for the Populists. The only other speaker at the day's ses sion was Hopkins (Ills.), a member of the ways and means committee. The night session of the house for debate on the tariff bill was to have begun at 8 o'clock. Speaker Beed had designated Hopkins (His.) to officiate hi his stead, but Mr. Hopkins had forgotten the appointment. Messengers were sent after Mr. Hopkins and at 8:20 he appeared and called the house to order. About 75 members were scattered through the house. Speeches in opposition to the bill were made by Robinson (Dem., Ind.), Green (Pop., Neb.), Carmack (Dem., Term.) and Buckner (Dem., Mich.) and at 10:30 the house adjourned. At the Night Seasloa. Bailey (Tex.) presented the minority report on the tariff bill. The report was signed by all the Democratic members of the ways and means committee and gives the grounds of their opposition to the bilL It says in opening: "This bill was framed .with the avowed pur pose of protecting the manufacturers of the United States against foreign com petition and it is perfectly obvious that if it accomplishes that purpose it must result in compelling the consumers of this country to pay more for their man ufactured goods and for this reason we think it should not pass. Under the heading: "The bill en courages extravagance," Mr. Bailey says: "It follows as a matter of course that a hill based upon a vicious princi ple must be injurious in its effects and perhaps no effect could be more perni cious than the extravagance which the bill encourages. The tabulated state ment embraced in the report of the committee shows that the bill is ex pected to raise $1 13,000,000 - more rev enue than was collected in customs dnties during the last fiscal year; and yet, as is shown by the same 'report, the difference between the government re ceipts and disbursements during that year was only $25,000,000. Supposing that importations hereafter are equal to the importations of 1896, the bill will collect from the people more than 90, 000,000 annually above the requirements of our present extravagant appropria tions. Claims It Fosters Trusts. "The bill fosters trusts," is another headline, which is explained as follows: "If the system of unnecessary taxation is indefensible because of the extrava gance which it encourages it is still more so oa account of the trusts which it fosters and promotes. It is not more certain that protection encourages ex travagance than it is that it breeds un lawful combinations of capital Indeed, protection is justified upon the avowed theory that competition should be re stricted. We believe in the principles of competition and we believe that the people of the United States can success fully compete against all other people of the world, and we denounce as a crime against the best interests of our people any law which leaves the consumers of this land subject to the exactions of reckless and corrupt combinations formed to destroy competition and con trol prices." EBect oa Labor. Treating of the effect of the bill on labor, the 'report says: "The report of the committee on ways and means is singularly silent upon the old pretext that these high tariffs are imposed for the benefit of American labor; and the silence may be taken as conceding the Democratic contention that the intelli gence and skill of the American factory operative are all the protection which he needs or desires." The report concludes: "We are un able to offer a substitute for the pend ing bill because we have not been al lowed a reasonable time to prepare one. Congress convened in extraordinary set? ion on March 15, and the bill was in troduced the same day and referred to the committee on ways and means, which met the next morning and on Thursday it was ordered to be reported so tne nonse. The majority of the com mittee had spent the three months of the last session cf congress in the prep paration of their bill, and yet they re fused to allow the minority three weeks in which to prepare a substitute. We are unwilling to propose a measure that has not been carefully matured and we must therefore content ourselves with protesting against the passage of the committee's bill." POPULISTS WRITE REED A LETTER. Kcuaeet KecogelHoa la Debate aad Threaffa CeaaaUttee Apaolataieata. JWAsmxaTON.March 23. The Populist members of the house have held a cau cus to discuss the policy of the party in this congress and aa a result have sent to Speaker Beed a letter requesting that they be recognised in debate and through committee appointments a dis tinct factor of the minority. There was much dissatisfaction among the Popu lists in the last congress because they were as a parry organization ignored, and they are planning too wage a cam paign for position m coagress.

It Will Boaaire PoUoate Treataieat ay the WAonxoTOir, March 23. A question has arisen aa to our Cuban relations that will require delicate treatment in order to avoid working harm to many AmerkuuB About a year ago the Spanish government by decree sus peuded the right of creditors to collect debts in order-to avert the threatened ruin of the planters. This action was made the subject of energetic protest by a number of American capitalists, mostly resident in the north, who held Cuban xeortgages aad other securities and thus aw themselves oat off from their right ful interest. The state department was obliged to make this decree the basis of a formal dissent, thus saving the right to prefer claims for damages later on. Now the decree has expired and the laws for the collection of debt again be come operative and there is another protest, this time from the American planters in Cuba and their "nanriul backers, who, having been obliged to stop sugar growing and cane grinding by orders of both Spanish and insurg ents, now see themselves threatened with loss of all their property through foreclosure. The point is that if our government protests against this last phase of the case, the first protest will lose force, while if it fails to do so, great hardship will follow.

The ceremonies attending the centennial of the birth of Emperor William I, grandfather of the present emperor, which began yesterday and ends Tuesday next, continued to day, commencing with, an early visit of the emperor and empress to the mau soleum of William I. Thousands of people lined the Festrahe, which was brilliantly decorated from the castle to the Brandenburg gate. Their majesties, who received an ovation all along the route, spent a quarter of an hour in silent prayer at the tomb and returned to Ber lin soon after 9 o'clock. The weather was cloudy, but no rain fell. At 9 o'clock the troops, decorated with the new memorial medal, and detachments of sailors took up the positions assigned to them on Unter den Linden, and at 10:30 a. m. the emperor, in the' uniform of the garde du corps, arrived and was welcomed with enthusiastic , hurrahs, "hocha" and the waving of handker chiefs. After riding in front of the troops his majesty halted before his late grandfather's palace and ordered the flags and standards stored therein, which has been decorated with branches of laurel, to be brought out. The em peror then rode at the head of the colors and led the troops to festival square. The monument was unveiled at 11:30. During the ceremony the colors and flags captured from the French during the war of 1870-71 were displayed on both sides of the monument. ARCHBISHOP IRELAND SPEAKS OUT. Dlstlagalshed Catholic Prelate Iaderses the Appeal Made by the W. C T. V. Washington, March 23. The appeal of the president of the W. C. T. U. to President McKinley and the governors of the states of the Union, telegraphed from Chicago, asking for their interven tion to prevent the kinetoscopic repro duction of the Fitzshnmons-Corbett fight from being exhibited in the United States, was commented upon as follows by Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, who is in Washington: ''Pugilism is bar barism is animalism. It is a disgrace to christian civilization. No christian nation should permit it. A few years ago an attempt was made to have on a large scale a pugilistic exhibition in St. Paul, but the citizens strongly protested and Governor Merriam issued a procla mation prohibiting it. There was no fight. It is a pity that every city and very state in the Union has not fol lowed the example of Minneapolis and St PauL The exhibition ofthekinet oscopio reproduction of the Carson fight would minister to morbid curios ity, low appetites and tend to render prize fighting popular. I hope that the good sense and moral instincts of the American people will not allow this contemplated exhibition to take place in any part of our country." . Aaaerlcaa Marines Visit the Pope. Boxk, March 23. A detachment of 100 sailors belonging to the cruiser San Francisco, flagship of the United States squadron in European waters, arrived here today from Naples and attended the pope's mass. They were accompan ied by the rector of the American col lege. After the mass the pope paused through the ranks of the sailors, blessed them and assured them that he was much touched by the homage.

Uaa; beta af Tribunal aff ArhKmtlea-X Watleaal Capital. WAsmxoTOH, March 23. The Monday agreed to a resolution iiw the president for information rela tive to the death of Dr. Ruiz in Cuba. Among the bills reported was the Lodge bmrestriotix immigration. Pettigrew (a D.) reported the bill for free bosses on the public lands and gave notiea af aa endeavor to secure action at the aaiMampoamble moment. Several other bilk relating to Indian affairs and pab lio muds were reported and placed on the calendar. Among the bills intro duced was one by Mr. Chandler for the exchuion of alien anarchists. The American arbitration treaty was advanced considerably toward ratifica tion before the long executive fusion of the senate closed, all the amendments recommended by the committee on for eign relations being agreed to. Them amendments are: First To provide that all agreements for arbitration entered into by the executive branch of this government with the Brit ish government shall be subject to the ratification of the senate. Second Striking out the provisions con stituting members of the United States supreme court permanent members of the proposed tribunal of arbitration, and Third Eliminating the provision for aa umpire, .and therefore striking jmt the provfauoa agreeing upon King Oscar ef Sweden and Norway for this office. Debate at ergaa Aateadaieat. The prkapal debate of the day arose on an amendment offered by Senator Morgan, and it was upon this amend ment that the only aye and nay vote occurred. Senator Morgan moved to strike out the words "jurists of repute,'.' which the committee proposed to sub stitute at the points where justioesof the United States supreme court were mentioned in articles 3 and 4 of the treaty. The debate was participated in on one side by Senator Morgan and on the other side by Senators Davis and Lodge, who opposed the amendment. On the roll call on article 3. the vote was yeas, 19; nays, 25, and that on arti 6 was yeas. 24; nays. 26. The reason for the increased vote on the second proposition was the belief on the part of some senators that as the article in re gard to territorial claims provides that some of the British members of the ar bitration tribunal shall be members of the supreme court of judiciary of Great Britain, the American supreme court should also be recognized to act iathe same capacity. With the committee amendments dis posed of, individual senators were recog nized to suggest amendments. Oneof these, presented by Senator Mason, pro vided that all members of the board of arbitration should be American born citizens. This was promptly and with out debate laid on the table, on the mo tion of Senator Nelson. Senator For aker also suggested an amendment pro viding for a separate tribunal for the settlement of each question as it might arise under the treaty. This amend ment was not reached in the discussion, but Senator Bacon said that if it could be adopted he would feel justified in withdrawing his amendment eliminat ing the claims against southern states from the operation of the treaty. An amendment offered by Senator Chilton provoked some very spirited speecnes toward the close of the day's session. This amendment provides that the senate shall decide in each ease what matters shall be submitted to ar bitration and declares for the principle of arbitration in settling all interna tional disputes. The amendment was attacked as being calculated to rob the treaty of its dis tinctive characteristics and it was as serted that if accepted it would leave the agreement a mere shell of its former self, possessing neither vitality or char acter. In this connection Senator Hoar made an able and eloquent speech m favor of the treaty. Senator Chilton spoke in behalf of his amendment re quiring all agreements made to be subject to ratification by the senate. There was some discussion of the Mon roe doctrine and Senator Morgan took the floor to address the senate on this phase of the treaty, when the adjourned. Relief ef Homesteaders. Washington, March 28. Senator Allen reported favorably from the com mittee on Indian affairs the bill restor- in the Santee Sioux Indians of Ne- I braska and the Flandreau Sioux of I .. . . . ..... ..f BOUtnJJakota to all ngnts and pnvi leges enjoyed by them and their an cestors under the treaties of 18H7 and 1851.
