CHANGE IN ADDKESS-When onlorinR n cku in the addrwrf.Milncriheni . hould Mire togire their old as well as their new address. say that th Famers' Institute brings the university to the farmers is only half the truth. For it in fact brings tho fanners to the university in a cer tain sense. Local farmers have a place oa the procram alongside uni versity protcssors, each class enlarging itc ideas by getting tho view point oi the other. The wido awake farmer must see ,'n.t i.irri, tirimil land is doing for him. If he would make enough to pay interest on his large investment, ho must bo able to utilizo all waste products ami must follow methods of Foil culture and stock feeding and stock breeding that produco the greatest returns for a given outlny. The school of agriculture and Its child, the Farmers' Institute, exist to help tho farmer solve these prob lems. A single suggestion at the meeting next week in Columbus if acted upon might mean thousands of dollars to the farmers of Platte county. At any rate the farmer pays a large part of the costs of tho Institute and every farmer in reach of Columbus sfcould bo present at this meeting and should bring his wife with him. Remember the prosperity of the farmer measures tho prosperity of the state. It was predicted last week that tho backbone of winter" was broken. The diagnosis was wrong. It was oaly a case of dislocation which has beea successfully reduced. The governor of Kansas has recom mended woman's suffrage to the Kan- Ma legislature and braces up his re commendation by a quotation from the 1S99 message of Governor Roose velt to the legislature of New York. The quotation is as follows: I call the attention of the legislature to the desirability of gradually extending the sphere in which the suffrage can be Mtireiaed bv women." We don't go arach on the new woman, but if Teddy aaid it we'll stand by him. There is just one real aristocracy in the world and that is the aristocrarcv of brains. The members of this "so oiety" pay no dues, have no regular meeting places, possess no pass words. Unlike the members of the" 400" whoso pan consists solely of a bank book or a tailors' receipt, neither good clothes nor rags, poverty nor wealth can dis iraiaea member or this nristccrany. His brothers know him intuitvely. Banded together, working without ostentation, this aristocracy m fact rales under our government which boasts that it recognizes no aristo cracy. An eastern exchange thinks that dar a great reformer "in wnoso 1 aspirations sense iB duly blended with enthusiasm, will make and win a gnat fight for adequate pockets in women's street clothes. "Why wo man does not have more and better pockets in her clothes is one of the mys teries of civilization." If this learn ed writer had said that woman is the neatest mystery of civilization and then added that woman without any visible pockets can find more ob scure places in which to tuck away things precious, ten to one. than man With all his ostentation of pockets, he would have better proved his right to rank with the philosopher?. "The Cleveland Plain-Dealer can not find any nutheutic record that Lincoln ever made the remark fam iliarly attributed to him about tin impossibilitv of fooling all tho people all the time. Colonel Hay, who went over Lincoln's speeches. papers.leiters. and recorded sayings with minute care while writinc Lincoln's biography, is quoted as saying that he never came across that remark. Librarian Spaf ford, a great repository of detailed knowledge about American statesmen believes that the man who said what was said about fooling the people was not Linclon at all, but Phiueas T. Barnum, who had a long and emiucnt- .ly successful experience with tho nan. pteaad was entitled to rank as an anthority on popular gullibility. It does not matter. The thing said Avas a a good and useful thing, whoever mid it. Deserving remarks are apt to be attributed to deserving men who might have said them." Harpers Weekly. PUBLIC BUILD JXG SITE. Washington dispatches report that the bonse committee on public grounds and buildings has reported favorably the omnibus appropriation bill which carries an appropriation for the pur chase of a site for a government build ing in Columbus. Speaker Cannon baa opposed the passage of such a bill at this session, bnt the committee seems to nave taken the chance of go imt against his wishes. If tne speaker is really determined in his opposition, the bill may yet be killed. Bnt the probabilities are that this is more newspaper talk than any thing else. The Washington corres pondent of the Bee estimates that Co lambas will receive $6,000. Congress man McCarthy has closely watched the interest of Columbus and he is en titled to.the thanks of Columbns citi aens for his success in getting a part of the appropriation for ourcity.ata time when the leaders are demanding strict economy in the matter of public bsildings and grounds. STAR GAZING. The leeislature is frittering away valuable time on bills for county option, and inebriate asylums that had better bo devoted to passing a reason able freight rate law. Thousands of bushels of fruit rotted in Nebraska last fall because local freight rates prohibited shipment. Every industry in the state dependent nnnn the short hand, is stripped by excessive frieght rates. The Foster resolution calls for remedial legiflation on this subject. But if a few more fool inebriate- asylum countv-option-liqnor bills are introduced, the freight late bill de manded by the Foster resolution will turn up in a pigeon hole. Tho Slocum law would cure the ills of which the advocates of county option complain and would remove tho demand for inebriate asylums, if it wero merely indifferently enforced. It is claimed tat county option would reduce the number of saloons. So would the Slocum law, if it were enforced. It is claimed that an inebriate nsvlum is needed for tho propor treat ment of drunkards. If the anti-treat-ing Law and the law for the arrest and tine of drunken men wero enforced fewer drukards would do bhubwu with tho disease. There are already hospitals for the cure of drunkards, ot-..i fhr.ro is not a drunkard in the state who could not take the cure if ho wanted it. Suppose we had an officer whose duty it was to take drunkards into custody and take them to the asylum. What assurance would we have that they would perform their duty better than the officers whoso duty it now is to arrest drunk ards? And who would make com plaint ? Tho drunkard who has enough friends to swear him freo when ho takes advantage of a "drunk"to shoot a man, would have tho same friends to keep him out of an inebriate asylum. Laws must follow and not precede propor moral conduct. Tho Slocum law is dead because it does not tally with tho conduct of tho majority. Until public opinion can be brought to enforce tho laws we have, wnat is the ufo of wasting timo trying to pass more stringent ones? Let us havo moro progressive public opinion and less good leg:slation. WHAT 15 A BRIBE Webster: ' A price, reward, gift or favor bestowed or promised with a view to prevent the judgment or cor rupt the conduct of a judge, witness, voter or other person in a position of trust." Century dictionary: "Money or any valuable consideration given or promised for the betrayal of a trust. .. ... or the corrupt penurmuuuo v allotted duty." Brittanica : ' The administration of reward, that it may be a motive in tho performance of functions for which tho proper motii e ought to be a conscientious sense of duty." Nebraska Criminal Cede: "If any person shall, directly or indirectly give any sum of monoy, or any other bribe, present, or reward . . . ta any judge, justice f tho peace, sheriff, coroner. cicrK, conin-ue. ." vv cuting attorney, member of the legis lative assembly . . . with intent to in duce or influeuro such officer .... to execute any of tho powers in him vested, or perform any duty of him required with partiality or favor, or therwise contrary to law, the person co givinc and the officer 60 receiving . . shall bo deemed gcilty of bribery and shall be uunished by confinement in the penitentiary net less than one year nor more than five years." Two centuries ago, when members of parliament in England regularly sold their votes for cash, Robert Walpole. speaking from personal knowledge, propounded in the form in which it has come to us. the doctrine that every mrm has his price. Nowadays, the bribes offered to men in positions of public trust are seldom in the form of money. The consideration offered is frequently so faint or so indirect that the mn is bribed before he knows it. For the public good, it behooves the public and their servants to study closely the various aspects and forms of the bribe, in order to recognize it in its most insidious forms and flee from it. In this way only shall we escape the danger that givers cf bribes in this day and pge alFO may be able justly to say with a sneer that every many has his price. Lincoln Journal. PUBLIC LAND. A wholesale raid is in evidence at Washington desisned upon the remain- ing western public lands. Already this session two bills have been intro duced by Representatives Martin and Brooks, allowinir u man to take up a square mile of government land in South Dakota and in Colorada, respec tively, and permitting those who may havo already made IGO-acre homestead entry to make an additional entry of 480 acres. The claim has been persistently made by western land men that a man can not make a home and living on 100 acres anywhere in the west, and so this square-mile-home plan is brought forward as rapidly as possible. It was foreseen that similar bills to the Einkaid Nebraska law would be immediatelv introduced at this session and it is understood tbat a number more such measures will follow to in clude other states. If congress is to act further in this matter, then the issue must bo met squarely and frankly, the present homestead law overturned and a square mile made the homestead unit for the entire country, insteal of the 'present 10 acres. Nebraska Farmer. to the hearing and decision of such appeal over all other causes except criminal cases. A heavy penalty is prescribed for refusal or neglect to obev or perform any order of the com misrion authorized by the act. It is not expected that the bill will pass the senate at the present 6e6sion. The committee on interstate com merce of tbat body is not showing any very ardent interest in the tnbject cf rate regulation and tnere is a good dral of opposition in the senate to action at this session. It seems to be a pretty safe conclusion, therefore, that the bill passed by the house will not even come before the senate of this congress. An extra session of the Fifth-ninth congress will consequent ly become very probable. Omaha Daily Bee. A GOOD MEASURE. State Superintendent McBrien is the author of a bill, House Roll No. 170, which makes some important changes in onr school laws. The bill is designed to make a more equitable division of the ..lute school and to extend freo school privileges from the primary grades to tho uni versity, to every child in the state. Attendance for at least four weeks 'in each half year is made the basis of apportionment of the state school fund, instead of enumeration of child ren of school age. as under the old law. This provision would promote attendance by rewarding the school districts in direct proportion to atten dance. Free high school privileges are offered to very child who shall have comoleted the eighth grade in any school in the state. This provision is in the direct interest of tho country pupil who shall complete theeighth grade and who in the pat has often been barred from the town high Bchool by high tuition. Mr. McBrien's bill also provides for a minimum levy of 1 mill for the com mon schools. The present levy is one half mill. Mr. McBrien points out that under the new revenue law the reduction of the levy to one half mill has di minished the common school fund over fol.OOO whie the uniform university levy of one mill required by the law, has with the increased valuation in the 6tate increased the university fund flOG.OOO. Mr. McBrien belioves that since a majoritv of pupils never advance be yond the common schools, the com mon schools should be considered even ahead of the university, although he is opposed to reducing the university levy. Mr. McBrien's bill is the most com prehensive educational bill that has ever been framed in Nebraska. It is the essentials from a practical point of view and should become a law. that were formerly the exclusive right of the homeopathist. The advanced practitioners of both schools are really ecloctics. The new cult of orteopatby seems to be a combination of scientific massage and mental healing. This. however, is not a scientific verdict, but merely our own opinion. Its professors are thoroughly schooled in anatomy and physiology. The action tasen bv the legislature will be interesting bnt probably will not be based on a very intelligent un derstanding of the question. NO MORE PASSES. George W. Berge, late fusion can didate for governor of Nebraska, has prepared and published a bill which he announces he will have introduced in the legislature. It provides as follows: Passenger transportation within the stato-shall be Scents per mile for those over 12 years of age and one cent per mile for those uuder 12 years of age. Mileage books of 5C0 mil3B each shall be issued to any applicant by any road at 2 cents per milo. and shall ba interchangeable on all roads in the state. For any railroad official or employee to give a pass or any form of free transportation to ai-.v person, or for any person to aTp free transporta tion, shall be it misdemeanor and, both giver and recipient shall be subject to a tine of 50 to 8500 or imprisonment of six months to two years, or both fine and imprisonment. The only ex ception is in the case of bona fide em ployees of the railroad and twico a year each railroad shall file with the state auditor a sworn list of all its employees, giving name and capacity of employment. Members of the legislature and other officials who are required to travel in the transaction of public business shall be furnished the necessary trans portation by a board composed of the state auditor and state treasurer who shall buy it from the railroads at reg ular prices. If any official buys trans portation for himself, to be used on public business, he shall not be reim bursed by the state. No person shall be privileged from testifying in relation to any acts pro hibited by the bill, and any person who is required so to testify shall himself be exempt from prosecution for the act concerning which his tes timony is given. It was of course to be expected that any bill prepared by Mr. Berge would be extremelv radical and Fso would run an imminent risk of being declar ed unconstitutional Probably every provision of the bill would be to the advantage of the non-officeholding public, but the very radicalness of the proposed measure is a pretty sure guarantee of its defeat. Such reforms caunot be brought about by one step. .4 TWINE FACTORY. "Does my constituency want to stand for the necessary appropriation ?" ThiB is the question that the Nebraska legislators are asking in considering the nnestion of establishing a twine factory in our state penitentiary. How large an appropriation will be required, and what advantages would result from the investment? Are the prospective advantages commensurate with the investment? The answers to these questions will determine whotb er the' constituency should he pleased. And tho constituency cannot answer because they know little about the subject. The legislative committee which vis ited the Kansas penitentiary where such a plant has been in j-uccessful operation for a number of years, re port tbat tho first ccst of the plant is about $120,000 and that it is mere than self sustaining. The committee finds that such a plant does not interfere with any home industry nnd that its products, com ing in competition with the trust pro duct, greatly reduces tho price of twine to the farmer. If the finding of the committee is correct thoro is little question oi whore tho constituency will stasd. It ic a plain business nropoeition. A. M. POST Attorney : at : Law Columbus. Nob. D. 8TIKE8. ATTORNEY AT LAW FARMERS? INSTITUTE. The farmer of Nebraska carries a large part of the tax burden imposed by our state university. And while there is an increasingly large number of farmers children availing them selves of the educational privileges offered by that excellent institution, the number is far below what it should be. The school of agriculture 'j maintained solely to educate young farmers in the methods of scientific frm'tig and to increase the agricui ! wealth of the state. This school is growing in point of attendance and in influence throughout the state. AuA still its influence is not half what it shonld be and what it can be and will be made, 8inoe the management of this school have been unable to bring all the farmers to the university, they have adopted a plan whereby they bring tbs nniversity to the farmers. This is done throngh the Farmers' Institute, a, mssion of which will be held in Co- - -- M w.rtnth. To PIC1IARD L. METCALFE. Announcement; is made that Rich ard L. iletcalto, tho able and ornery editor of the Omaha World-Herald, will shcrtly transfer his flag from the World-Herald to the Commoner. This latter-mentioned pulication is a week ly paper issued from Lincoln, Ne braska, by W. M. Maupiu, containing also sundry articles ag'in the govern ment from tho pen oi W. J. Bryan. On an occasion of this kind an obitu ary is hardly in order, and yet it amounts to about the same thing. The subject of the sketch is departing the newspaper life of the state of Ne braska. Metcalfe has proved his.title as one of the three or four really brainy newspaper men of Nebraska, aud as a slinger of English he is a little ahead of the front row. At the gentle art of calling a rose by some other name ho has no equal in this section. He can take a grain or two of wheat and leaven it with three or four bushels of cha and turn out an argument for the good old democratic party that would almost convertGrover Cleveland. A church fair or a nigger funeral or a baseball game or any thing under the 6un will furnish him a text whereby he can prove bevond reasonable doubt that it is all up with this fair land of ours and the common oeonlo have no show any more. This is a talent which is extremely ra-e, and it is one of tho chief elements in the making of a good newspaper man. But Metcalfe has a sense of humor with him always and is not by nature an apostle of calamity. Even as you read, you know tbat he doesn't mean it. And that is why we are sorry to lose him. If we must have calamity howlers and of course we must at any rate deliver us from the ponderous and dyspeptic mouthings of the man without humor, and let us have our minor strains from one who composes merely for the artistic joy of produc tion, and to boost circulation. In his new place Metcalfe will do the work and Mr. Bryan will take unto himself the credit. Bnt it will be a pleasant recreation running the Commoner, after the strennous'life of a city daily. We cannot drop the subject without wishing Mr. Metcalfe a pleasant journey and no return, and expressing a hope that his successor in charge of the World-Herald may be our old friend Harvey New branch who, next to Metcalfe, has done most to make the World-Herald famous. He is as smart as Metcalfe, better educated, just as gocd a fellow, and just as ornery. It is very painful to us to say these good things about two demo crats, but, as tho immortal Gradgrind LIBEL SUITS. Discussing libal suits the editor of the Freo Lance makes reference to this paper as follows: ."The Columbus journal editor is liable to get a libel suit on his hands in his war upon the countv officials up there. He calls them "grafters" and proceeds to show how they are grafting. If what the Journal shows up is correct it i6 doing a work that is commendable and is proper for a newspaper to do." Then he proceeds to say that if the editor of the Journal is sued for libel there will be no case filed aganst him in Colfax county. It is all true, brother Sprecher, there fore we fear no libel snits. If the acts complained of were aired ont in the courts, Platte county might recover enough money to make a good start on a new court house. The editor of the Journal would gladly bo made the defendant in a libel suit for the sake of starting a fund for this much needed improve ment. We are glad that K many of our editorial brethren argee with us that a newspaper owes it to its readers to "call spades 6pades" in discussing public affairs, even though in such a discussion it becomes necessary to use the names of men for whom one enter tains the warmest personal regard says, fact is fact. Bead the Journal. Get all the news. PASSED THE HOUSE. The house of representatives passed the Esch-Townsend rate bill by nearly unanimous vote 26 being recorded for the measure and 17 against, 43o members no vote. The bill provides for the appointment of two additional intprstate commerce commissioners, making the number seven, and in creases the salaries of the comission ers. It establishes a court of record with full jurisdiction in law and equity, to be called the court of trans portation and composed of fivo cir cuit judces of the United States who shall be designated by the president. The commission is given power, when complaint is "made in regard to a railway rate or regulation being un reasonable or unfair, to declare and order what shall be a just and reason able rate or regulation and the order stall of its own force take effect and become operative thirty days after notice thereof has been given to the person or persons affected, bnt pro ceedings to have it reviewed by the court of transportation may be insti tuted at any time within sixty days after notice by the person or persons affected. It provides that the court of transportation shall have exclusive original jurisdiction of all suits and proceedings of civil nature in law or eauity brought to enforce provisions of this act and the act to regulate commerce. The authority of the court is comprehensive and appeal from its judgment or decree shall be to the supreme court only and must be taken within thirty days from the date of entry thereof. The supreme court is required to give precedence THE HEALING ART. Tho matter of licensing professors of the various systems of healing, with which the state legislature has occu pied itself recently, is another of those problems with which legislatures should not be allowed to meddle, but which from the nature of our state sovernment is placed under thoir charge. The curing of the sick and tho in jured is aj matter of science, and its regulation should be in the hands of scientific and educated men. Prob ably a majority of the Nebraska lee islatorscertainly a large per cent, of thdCi can read and write nnd cipher after a fashion, and that is about all. They are mostly men of sense and character and are educated in a practical, commercial way, and accordingly are competent to deal with the ordinary business coming before them But in scientific and technical matters it would bo hard to find a moro ignorant assemblage of men than tho average legislature. Many of them believe in groundhog day, in luck charms, in urlucKy signs nnd numbers, in the long-ranc weather forecasts of pitent medicine almanacs or Rev. Hicks, in 'the "omnipotence of the mustard plaster pnd the onion poultice, etc., etc. In this, to be sure. they are no worse than the mass of our citizens. But the point is tbat we are taking a collection of average men, with the ave-sge lack of education, and giving them regulating power over a profession which has to deal with life and death aud which de mands the highest equipment of learn ing in the most advanced physical and mental science. How much better it would be if such things were in the hands of a non-political commission of cultured and progressive scientists. In a general sense it is perhaps true that any man should be allowed to summon to his aid anv school of heal ing that he may desire. It he believes in the good old regime of calomel and blue mass and lots of it. let him have it. If ho believes in .throw ing physic to the dogs, let him throw. In either case the one principally con cerned is satisfied, and probably by his faith he shall be saved. If he dies, it is his own funeraL But there is another aspect to the case. The head of the hcuehold ex ercises this choice not onlv for him self or herself, but also for the de pendent members of the family. As a result soino sinner- and mistaken parent sacrifices his helpless children to a malisnant contagion or a severe injury, because he believes that mind cure can reach cases which science knows can only be handled by sanitary isolation or prompt surgical treatment. This is the only reason, as far as we can see, why the various faith cures should be restricted. The exponents cf Christian science, for instance are generally ignorant and .unschooled in anatomv, phvsiology or the ele ments of hygiene. As between the two recognized schools of medicine, you pay your money and you take your choice. To the masses a doctor is a doctor. Yet one thing is certainly true: If allopathy is right, then homeopathy is absolutely, diametrically, dead wrong : and vice versa. For in theory they are directly opposed. But in actual practice the difference is not what it used to be. It is a common thing nowadays for a homeopathist to give a patient a good old-fashioned slog of epsom salts or a number two capsule of calomel. And likewise the allopathic phvsician employs remedies iiiiisiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiitimniiuiiiiimifi Starm Stars Sga. SrwmiiiiminmiiiiiiiHiitmiimmimix (brom files of Journal. Aug, 2, 1S71 ) Wm.
