TH"ii ! STATE FAIR.
Tbo ttiVj board of Bgricnllurc bns do-
idcd t ? locate the Nebraska , tot j fair nt
jtncolo. for the next five yrVis. While
jjnco'm may congratolate "hftmolf upon
iec victory wo do not hcaAalo to express
otir graliQcation over the action of the
joard. Omaha hat mi'grown ' all cuch
artificial props tn t\io \ tate fair. She has
the location , wealth nud population
for a permanent Jntor-stato exposition ,
Instead ol contributing towards the en
largcment , maintenance and repairof the
buildings on the fair grounds she may as
well devote her money and resources to
wards permanent exposition buildings
just aa Chicago , Kansas City and St.
Joseph have done. The driving park
association should at once bo merged Into
tn exposition society whoso business it
will bo to provide the ways and moans for
collecting aud exhibiting , not merely the
farm producta of the Missonri Valley but
the products of our factories , packing
houses , mills and breweries. With the
great cattle interest centering al
our Union stock yards it will bo an f.j
matter to organ23 ! an inter-state cattle
show in connection with the exposition ,
where the stock raisers \Vyomlng , Col
orado , Nebraska , Iowa and Missouri may
compote and participate. The cattle
brought to Omaha for Iho exposition maybe
bo marketed on the ground , and the
owners will , therefore , have a double
incentive in bringing thorn hero. Instcac
of being compelled to leave the management
mont of the inter-ntato exposition to i
gang of political birnaoloa , who
constitute the majority of the
state board of agriculture , Omaha wil
have the satisfaction of knowing that her
contributions and exhibits will bo placed
at the disposal and under the control of
business mon of approved integrity and
capacity who have an interest in common
with the majority of our citizens. It Is
safe to predict that an intor-stato exposi
tion such as wo have outlined will not
only bo attended by thousands ofjNobras
kana where hundreds only would attenc
the atato fair , but It will draw largo num
bers of people from all the surrounding
states 'and territories who doalro to see
something moro than'a more squash aud
pumpkin show with a few big bulls anc
fat ojlvcs thrown in. While the Omaha
members of the atato board of agricul
ture may fool chagrined over their defeal
Omaha will bo the gainer by this absolute
and perpetual divorce from the state
board and the barnacloa that IIvo anc
thrive by It.
A PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
The citizens' association of Chicago
has prepared a bill , which it recommends
to the Illinois legislature , to make
primary elections legal , BO that frauds
can bo punished. It Is similar to the law
now in elieot in Colorado , and under
which a primary election waa hold by the
republicans some montha ago. Several
parties were indicted under that law for
bribery , but the criminal court of Denver
pronounced the law unconstitutional anc
dismissed the cases. Whether the
supreme court of Colorado would concur
in the judgment of the lower court is a
question that remains unsettled. Thai
such a law is needed and would have
a beneficial effect there is no doubt ,
and wo hope that the Nebraska legisla
ture will pass such a bill , if any should
bo introduced in proper shape. The
principal features of the bill prepared
by the Chicago Citizens' association are
follows :
Any political association may hold its
election under the provisions of the act
by adopting a resolution stating the time
and place of holding the election by
naming three reputable citizens to act as
judges by stating the object cf the elec
tion and declaring that it shall bo con
ducted according to the provisions of the
primary election law.Tho bill requires that
notice of the election must ba published
in a newspaper at least five days before It
[ s hold. The purpose , time , conditlonn ,
together with a designation of the place
wherein the election is held , must also bo
stated in the published notice. The
judges must make oath that they nro
aonseholders and legal voters in the pre
cinct where they officiate , and in the
event of ono of them being absent at the
opening of the polls the olcctois present
may choose a person to fill the vacancy.
The judges are required to Investigate the
grounds of objection , when made , to the
rejection of a vote , and they are empow
ered to reject a vote when the voter re
fuses to make oath that ho Is legally entitled -
titled to the franchise. Fraudulent
voting , abetting an unqualified
voter to vote , bribery , treating ,
endeavoring to Influence a citizen to give
or with hla vote , furulchlng a voter with
a ticket informing him that it contains
names that do not appear on it , are de
fined aa misdemeanors and the person
found guilty of either ono of them sball
ba punished by a fine not exceeding $500
or by Imprisonment in the county jail
not lees than two nor moro than six
montha , or by both fine and Imprison
ment in the discretion of the court. The
clerk of election must keep a list show
ing the names and residences of all per
sons challenged , the grounds o.c challenge
and the docislon of the judges. The
judges nre required to exhibit the poll
box before receiving ballots to show it Is
umptyand to publicly canvass the votea
Immediately after the close of election.
The result of the election mi/st bo pub
licly proclaimed by each of the three
judges in a loud voice , and the proclama
tion shall bo prim * facie evidence of the
result' The manner of counting the
votes is the same aa recommended by
the Citizen ) ' association for adop
tion at regular elections. After
proclaiming tbo result of the pri
mary the judges must publicly do-
story the ballots and forward a atato-
mont of the same , with a oopy of the lists
to the secretary of the organization.
This statement and lists jnd also the du-
pllcito held by one of the judges muit
ba delivered alter tbo expiration of twen
ty days to the county clerk , by whom
they are to bo kept for threa months , at
tbo end of which time they are to bo de
stroyed , The bill provides that the polls
must be kept open on the day of election
from noon until 7 o'clock in the evening

grounds that the present bill la based
Although an unsuccessful attempt waa
made to pass such a measure two years
ago , this bill moots with favor at the
hands of the present legislature and may
become a law. No other part of this
country haa boon so completely gobblodup
by foreign syndicates as Texas , and II
this bill la passed and enforced it will
no doubt glvo general satisfaction to the
people. It la bad enough to permit land
grabbing by homo syndicates , but when
foreigners tlo up millions of acres it IB
something that our people object to in
the most emphatic manner. If foreign-
era want to become American land-
grabbers , let them bccomo citizens ol
thia country. Wo want no foreign land
lords nor do wo dostro the introduction
of absenteeism , which has caused so
much trouble in Europe.
IN BEHALF OF THE INDIANS.
The Woman's National Indian associa
tion la an organization of a very praotlca
character , and deserves the hearties !
support. It haa for its objects the
strengthening of public sentiment on behalf -
half of justice to Indians , and aiding
them to become civilized and educated ,
and securing the payment of debts to
them under existing governmental com
pacts ; also aiding them to secure nocdoc
now legislation giving them the protection
tion of law , lands and citizenship ; anc
further , the elevation of Indian women anc
homos , and the Chrlstlanlzation of tribes
now destitute of Christian Instruction.
It strikes ua that these objects
are much moro sensible than mis
sionary work among the heathen
of foreign countries upon whom too much
tlmo and money have boon expended.
The most practical and deserving mission
ary field can bo found right hero at homo
among the Indiana , who are capable oi
becoming educated , Industrious and
peaceable citizens. ,
Wo have received the fourth annual
report of the Women's National Indian
association , ono of whoso vlco prosicents ,
Mrs. James M. Woolworth , resides in
Omaha. It Is ovldont from this reporl
that the association Is doing excellent
work to promote the various objects for
which it was organized. It la greatly duo
to the efforts of this Bccloty that bills for
the bettering of the condition of the
Indians have been introduced , with a
strong probability of being passed. To
tliis association belongs the credit of enlisting
listing In the cause of the Indiana many
eminent men and women whoso appeals
have not been made in vain. It has also
Impressed upon congress the necessity of
prompt .ind adequate appropriations for
the benefit of these Indian tribes that
have been Buffering from starvation. It
has also done much in advancing the In
dlan educational interests , and in every
way it has succeeded in bettering the
present condition and prospects of. the
wards of the nation.
Durinr/ the first four years of its exis
tence the Women's National Indian Asso
ciation devoted itself wholly to the work
of awakening and deepening public sen
timent regarding the unfulfilled obliga
tions of the government and nation
our native Indian tribes. It has sent
coat popular petitions to government
asking that Indiana bo permitted to have
holr lands in severally , when they so
deslro , and protection to the same , mak-
ng the titles to the same inalienable for
a term of years ; asking that proper leg
islation may declare Indians to bo persona
before the larr , and that its protection and
punishment may also bo accorded to ihem.
It circulated many hundreds of thou
sands of pages of literature ; no-
cured wide attention to its subject
through the secular and religious press ,
and hold in many cities successful m&ss
meetings. This work of the association
has boon steadily pursued , and with In
creasing power and efficiency during this ,
its fifth year of labor , while in answer to
demands for it from ita workers In many
cities and states the society has adopted a
fifth department of effort , viz. , preparatory
tory mission work in ono or moro of the
sixty-eight tribes within our national lim
its having no ether mleslonary help.
This society has now thirty-eight
auxiliaries , twenty-seven of which are
ranked as stito associations. While the
Indian Righto association is not an
auxiliary , but an independent organlza
tlon , It no dsubt wts Inspired by the
womon'a association. Its object Is in
dicated in its name the securing to the
Indian the rights to which ho ( s already
entitled , as well as to induce the govern
ment to bestow upon him nil the rights aud
privileges of a full-fledged American citi
zen. We have reason to bellovo that
these two associations , -working hand in
hand , will eventually accomplish all that
they have Rot out to do , and that when
o much dUcussed Indian problem Is
solved that they can claim most of the
credit for its solution.
THERE la a general demand in nearly
*
all the largo cities of the north that the
street cars be warmed. The street car
companies claim that they cannot eland
the expense. Thia lYa very poor excuse ,
Indeed , for if Ilia street cats were prop ,
crly heated the Increase of travel would
more than cover the expense. Aa It Is
now , most people prefer to keep warm
i > y walking than to ride in an ice-box ,
[ t ia hoped that the Omaha itreet railway
compsny , which b m k'n5f ' nwfiey , will
> o enterprising enough to boat its can
and thus make It a pleasure to rldo In
, hom. That streetcars can bo heated ,
and nt comparatively small expense , has
been demonstrated in aomo cities. The
Detroit Free Press says :
In the great city of Chicago the street
oar companlea say they would warm their
cara If they could only find aomo practi
cable method. In the comparatively
small oitloa of Michigan they have no
trouble iri finding a molhod. In E st
Saginaw , for instance , the largo cara are
warmed perfectly somewhat overheated ,
If anything with an apparatus which
carries the fire under the car and dis
charges the smoke through the roof ,
taking up loss room In the car than n
single passenger. The small oars are
heated by a coal atsvo on the fronl plat
form , with hot-air registers opening into
the car. Wo give these facts for the in
formation of the Chicago companies ,
which pretend , at least , to want
to know how tholr earn can bo
warmed , The Detroit companies do not
ov < m protocd to care whether warming is
practicable.
THE BEE s ya Senator Van Wyck'a
voice ia constantly bring raised In behalf
of the people , but the dear people who
nro compelled to listen to the speeches
wish the voice wasn't raised quite BO
often Republican.
Senator Van Wyck cares nothing for
the constant barking of such papers aa
thb Omaha Repriblican and Lincoln
Journal , which nro simply the paid
mouth-pieces of the railways. It ia to bo
expected that they will rldlculo hla every
effort in behalf of the people , but it cer
tainly IB amusing to BOO these whippor-
mappora pursue such a policy while the
ablest Independent journals of the coun
try are continually applauding Senator
Van Wyck for his consistent and per
ulstont course In opposition to the aggros
slona of monopoly. No man in the
United Statca commands moro attention
In that body and throughout the length
and breadth o ! the land. Nebraska
ought to fool proud of such a senator nud
when Iho time comes the people of this
state will glvo him a hearty cndoraomonl
through the ballot-box.
SINCE the cloao of the campaign Butler
is devoting1 himself strictly to law prac
tice. Hla principal client is himself.
Having sued tno Boston Herald for
$100,000 damages for libel , ha now turns
his attention to Steve Elklno , against
vrhora ho has brought suit to compel him
to make a deed convoying to Butler 100-
000 acres of land , being a part of the
Mora grant in Now Mexico. Butler
agreed to purchase the land at 75 cents
an acre , provided the title was clear.
Although the title as to part was clouded ,
Butler nevertheless offered § 75,000 ,
which proposition waa accepted. Several
deeds wcro drawn , but all of these in
struments were objectionable to ono or
the other of the principals.
THE introduction of absolution in the

merce bill throw the railroad menbers

ment on Monday , and they succeeded in

lution comes up the members of the houss
will have nn opportunity to define their
position on the important questions in
volved in tliat bill.
JUDGING from the number and variety
of moral reform bills that have boon In

Nebraska legislator is of the opinion that
the morals of Nebraska need reform moro
than do the outrageous * railway abuses
from which the people are sufferihg. Wo

An occasional scarcity of fuel during
the Bovoro weather of winter might bo
reasonably expected and overlooked , but
when people are compelled to absolutely
suffer for want of coal , not ono winter in
tlirep ; not every olhor winter ; not once in
awhile each winter , but during the cold
est weather all the tinio it lasts every
winter , it becomes a crying evil wliich de
mands a remedy. Who knows all the
hardships that have been endured by the
people of this county alone because of
the scarcity of fuel at the time fuel is
needed most ? Who can aggregate the
sufferings endured , the diseases engen
dered J
It is not I hat the people arc paupers ;
they have the money to buy their fuel.
It Is not , that they are too penurious
to buy what they need , they are liberal
providers for their families.
It is not , that the supply in the mines
west , east , south , of us , have become exhausted
haustod , there la plenty of coal there.
It ia not , that the local dealora rue not
willing to supply the local demand , they
are doing their boat in tliat direction.
Charge the inconvenience , the disc.120
and sufierlng growing from scarcity of
fuel , homo where It belongs to tbo rail
road company.
That company seems to care nothing
for the complaints of the people who
make it possible for It to exist and do a
paying business. The people want cool
they are willing to pay for coal , It is
plenty on every side of thorn , it pays the
railroad to rauspcrt it then why in the
name of God and Buffering humanity ,
should there bo this ever recurring
scarcity of this Etaplo article , each
winter ?
