The Impending Rosslon ot the legislature
will bo of vital concoMi to the people ot this
elate. It Is of the utmost Importance that
members of the legislature shall understand
the wantB ot their , constituents nnd bo pro-
liarcd to grapple Intelligently and advisedly
with the Issues that must eomo before them.
Tni : llr.K therefore lavltcssitRgcstlons from
those who are familiar with tiny particular
subject that Is llltcly to ongnso the attention
of tlio legislature , Parties favoring us , however -
over , are requested to malco their communi
cation' ) ns brief as possible nnd to the point.
It la to bo understood that Tim UEK will not

trlbntois , and It rcsorvoi the privilege of dis

M . COULD has succeeded In building
a wife fence around the nation , but to
supplement it with a railroad Is a differ

IT is a hnrd thing to say , but It ap
pears lo bo true that the late king of

IT seems nltor all that the ghost

IN less than a week the government
has mustered rath or a formidable army

and arms there already to whip any of

IT is the democratic party that mudo

party in congress and the various state
legislatures.
ot the kind of
politician to rotlro from a contest at the

chance of election Is somotliing of an

the liveliest political corpse over Boon in

Tiu : sanitary condition ol the now
postofllco block is n source of endless
complaint from residents in the noiph-
"borhood. Tlio fact that municipal juris
diction over the property ceased the
moment the government acquired title
pro vents the city authorities from enforc
ing health regulations , nnd th9 oc
cupants of the rookeries take advantage
of this immunity to violate common
sanitary. rules and offend the public.
The remedy rests with the custodian of
the property. Ho should adopt vigorous
*
ous measures compolllngtonant8 to clean
their promises , nnd in event of refusal
eject thorn from the bulldlncrs.

The "Big Four" pneklng concerns , with
business aggregating one hundred nnd
fifty millions a year , have de
cided to move to a point * in In
diana just beyond the Illinois boun
dary and establish now pnckorics
nnd an independent stockyards. The
old stockyards syndicate at once declared
war to the Unlfo and knlfo to the bouo ,
opened wide its treasury and purchased
a controlling interest in the Chicago ,
bolt line road , which forms the connect
pt. ing link of all roads entering the city.
If the Big Four persist Iu their scheme ,
it is announced they will bo hedged 0.In
by this concern and switching rates ele

while the war wages merrily between
Titans and the work of plucking the

T8 llUXGEll TTW Itf.AT , ( UT7SRI
The slntemont having reached Wash
ington that the present dissatisfaction
among the Indians Is duo more to lack
of rations than to a religious craze , Gen
eral Miles hns , under instructions from
General Schoilold , sent the inspector
general of Iho military division to mtiko
an invcstiuiition. The expressions of
General Brooke , ns reported by THU
BKU correspondent nt Pine Rldgo
agency , nro most important on this
point. On being In formed of the amount
of rations the Indians receive the
commander of the department of
the Platte Is said to liavo declared
emphatically that they nro too llttlo.
"Who of us don't know , " ho Is quoted
with Baying , "that people can not live
on that , I don't care whether they nro
Indians or whnt they are ? People cnn't
bo satisfied , contented or anything else
If they don't ' have enough to cat , " said
General Brooke , "and the government
should ba finding It out pretty soon. "
Our correspondent adds the testimony
of his observation regarding the general
emaciated appearance of the Indians at
Pine Htdgo agency.
This is a disclosure which , if shown to
bo well founded , will put a very differ
ent aspect upon the Indian .disturbances
and will bo very likely to create n de
cided change In public fooling.
Whorais the general sentiment now is in
favor of the employment of severe re
pressive measures nnd the summary
punishment of the lenders of the disturb
ances when they can bo secured , if it bo
shown that the Indians have
boon led to malco their dem
onstration by the desperation of
hunger r'Uhor ' than from a religious
craze , there will bo widespread sym
pathy with them. Certain people who
are always ready to charge the whole
responsibility for Ihoso outbreaks upon
the government have already declared
that the present disturbance is duo to
the neglect of the government to prop-
o'ly care for the Indians , and though
very llltlo attention has boon paid to
them it appears not Improbable tha't
their charge will tie sustained.
At any rule it Is the obvious duty of
tlio government to make a thorough In
vestigation , and if the supply of food
furnished the Indians IB found to bo In
adequate there should bo no delay in In
creasing it. The very largo majority of
the Indians in the Sioux reservation are
unable to earn anything , and are wholly
dependant upon the government. Every
humane consideration demands that they
shall bo given enough to cat , and this
great and wealthy nation can afford to
do this and cannot afford to do less.
Tim sisvusror LOBBY.
It Is authoritatively reported that the
ship subsidy lobby at Washington is nil'
ready to make a vigorous movement on
the house of representatives in behalf of
the subsidy bills whicli have passed the
eonato. As to the chances of these
measures in the house opinions differ.
There would probably bo no doubt of
their becoming laws if the demands
upon the treasury already provided for
wcro not certain to require all the re
sources , with the danger tlmt the cur
rent fiscal year will close with a deficit.
Ono of the bills is u distinct subsidy
measure. It provides fpr the payment
to any vessel of moro than five hundred
tons gross register , whether sail or
atcinn , constructed and wholly owned by
citizens of the United States , and which
shall bo engaged In the foreign trade ,
the Bum of fifteen cents per ton for the
first five hundred miles sailed outward
and the same sum for the first live hun
dred miles sailed inward on any voyage ,
an equal amount for the second five hun
dred miles sailed outward and inward ,
thirty cent ? per gross ton for. each one
thousand miles thereafter , and pro rata
for any distance sailed less than one
thousand miles after sailing the first one
thousand. The payment at the rate of
thirty cents per ton for each one thou
sand miles sailed is to continue for the
term of ton years. It is provided that
no vessel is to bo entitled to the benefits
of the act unless its entire cargo shall
b > loaded at a port or ports of the United
States and discharged at one or moro
foreign ports , or shall bo loaded at one
or more foreign ports and discharged
at a port or ports in the United
States. The other measure is
known nr the postal subsidy bill ,
and authorizes the postmaster general to
contract for from five to ten years with
American citizens for the carrying of
mails on American steamships between
ports of the United States and such ports
in foreign countries as in his .judg
ment will host subserve and promote tlio
postal and commercial interests of the
United States. It is provided that the
steamships are to bo American built , of
the most approved typos , nnd are to bo
divided Into four classes. All must bo
built of iron and steel , except the fourth
class , which may bo wooden vessels ; are
to have a cross tonnage respectively of
eight thousand , five thousand , twenty-
five hundred and fifteen hundred tons ,
and bo capable of maintaining a speed
respectively of twenty , sixteen , fourteen
nnd twelve knots. It Is provided tlint
the rate of compensation of the first
class ships is not to exceed six dollars a
milo for actual number of miles required
by the postofllco department to bo trav
eled on each outward voyage , the rates
for the other classes being respectively
three dollars , one dollar and a luilf and
one dollar a mile. There are provisions
relating lo the employment of American
citizens on such steamships and the use
of the vessels by the government as
transports or cruisers.
All the arguments that have over been
made In favor of building up an Ameri
can merchant marine are still in force.
The fact that our foreign commerce is
almost wholly carried on In forolcrn
ships is humiliating to our national
pride and doubtless a disadvantage to
our commercial interests. It transfers
annually between ono and two hundred
million dollars from the pockets of our
own people to these of .Europeans ,
The pcoplo have boon mndo
very thoroughly acquainted with
these facts and others equally
impressive in connection with this sub
ject. But there Is no indication that
they liavo generally become moro favor
able to subsidies. On the contrary ,
thoro' is reason to believe there hns
iioror boon a tlmo in the last twenty-five
years whcu such a policy wns uioro un
populnr than at present. Iho majority
party In tlio house of representatives
will need to consider carefully tlio popu
lnr toinnor before it ventures to act
upon tliis question. Tlio obvious fact
IB that the pcoplo nro determined to ob
tain a reduction of the burden of taxa
tion nnd llioy will not complacently
tolerate t\ny 'addition to tholv obliga
tions , especially of this nature. The
knowledge of Hits , with the prospective
condition of the national treasury , vlll
doubtless bo sulllcloiit to thwart for1 the
present the slit ) ) subsidy advocates.
CVMZSO passion rtanr.
The democratic newspapers of Now
York nnd Now England have begun a
vigorous warfare on the pension system.
This Is of BiiRlclont Importance as a po
litical development to bo lolographed
over the country.
The dispatches state that the demo
crats predict a pension deficiency
this year of forty million dollars ,
that they claim persistence In the pres
ent course would "bring the country to
hopeless bankruptcy , " anil tlmt they vrill
outer the noxteutnpnlgnupona platform
demanding that un stop bo put to the is
suance of pensions. " Tills is news of the
first importance and It is well that it
conies In season to secure a full and fair
discussion of the issue.
Ittwlll strike the average republican
tliat the democrats have started out
jauntily to walk into the jaws of an
other phenomenal blunder , as they have
done on several famous occasions. It
cannot bo denied that there Is nn evil in
the pension system as now administered.
It is true that professional patriotism
hns had too much to do with recent pen
sion demands nnd some of the legisla
tion accomplished thereby. It is true
that the benefits of the law liavo in some
respects boon extended beyond what
was necessary and just , nnd that far too
larg-o a share of tlio vnst sums pnld out
by the government goes to enrich the
pension sharks who nuiko a business of
discovering and exaggerating cases that
come under tlio law. There Is need of re
form in the method of administering' the
system to the end that honest pensioners
shall receive what the government pays
out , and tliat plutocratic patriots slmll
no longer thrive at the expense of the
pensioners and the government alike ,
The demand for unreasonable pensions
does not como from men who actually
served the country and are now sick and
needy. That most deserving class hns
already been well provided for by n gon-
orouB country. The howl for the looting
of the treasury proceeds from men -who
preserved their health by Keeping veil
In the rear when tlio war wns on , mid
from rnon who have established success
fully whnt they call "a pension practice1'
at Washington. There is absolutely no
limit to which these two classes of mer
cenaries would not carry the pension
hobby if they had their way.
But while all this Is true , It by no
means follows that the country Is ready
to "stop the issuance ot pensions. " To
do so would be to violate the sacred
pledge of the nation and to leave tons of
thousands of union veterans la want.
It is when , under the leadership of its
rebel brigadiers and northern noncombatants
batants , tlio democratic party advocates
such a policy of injustice and dishonor
that it invites defeat. The republicans
have only to leave the pension laws under - .
dor reasonable limits and regulations to
win hack on this issue all that they have
recently lost on others.
WHAT SHOULD UK JONE.
The Fifty-first congress will roassom-
bio for the second and short session next
Monday. What is the duty of the
majority party in view of tlio judgment
recently passed upon its work by the
people ? Republican opinion is widely
ut vnrlanco as to what should bo done.
The most influential western newspapers
demand a modification of tlio tariff law
as to those features which the popular
judgment has unmistakably condemned.
They insist upon this as absolutely
essential to the success of the republican
party two years hence. A few western
republican members of congress have
boon quoted as holding a like viow.
Eastern republican journals , which for
the most part voice the views
of tlio manufacturers , insist that
the now law shall romnin in
tact , professing to bollovo that it will in
a short time demonstrate tliat there tire
no such evils in it as the people have
boon led to think. Thus there is a
sharply defined division ol republican
opinion on this very vital matter.
It Is not easy for a party to recede at
once from a policy adopted after the ma
ture deliberation that vnsprlvon the now
tariff law'but if the republican loaders
In congress have any regard for popular
opinion tlioy will not hosltato to do so.
lUs not necessary in order to satisfy the
people to nmlco a general revision of the
now tariff. 'A reduction of duties In the
few schedules that include the necessi
ties of all classes ot the people will Lo
sufllcient to satisfy the popular demand ,
and this can bo done without injury op
danger to any interest. There huvo
boon no commercial or economic condi
tions established under the now law to
which such changes would doviolence. .
The manufacturers to bo bonofllted by
the higher duties have not advanced tlio
wngcs of labor and they have not se
riously involved themselves by paying
higher prices for the raw materials.
They would simply lose the greater
tribute they wo counting- , and which
is unnecessary to the maintenance of
their Industries.Yo do not share In the
apprehension that any serious industrial
disturbance would onsuo. There would
bo a vigorous protest , undoubtedly , from
many manufacturers , though this would
not bo universal "with thorn , hut they
would readily adjust themselves to the
now order. Wo nro not confident that
the republican leaders in congress will
have the wisdom to take this course.
It is to bo apprehended - that
theyaro / BO strongly wedded to
the idea of immoderate protec
tion that oven the overwhelming popu
lar verdict against them will not lesson
the ardency of their attachment to that
idea. Dut if such snail prove to bo the
case the chances ot republican success la
1S92 will certainly bo very greatly "im
perilled. With the agricultural section
of tlio country and Now England dis
tinctly opposed to the higher tariff , the
republican party cannot look hopefully
to tlio result * twp yoara hence If thnl
tariff Is nrnlntaittod. It will depend very
largely upon , | ] iftr proscntutlvos of those
sections to dojerniliio whether thovo
shall bo any. ihcdUlcatlon of the now
policy. "

city was pa.Vfng throe and n liulf per

nnd to tills should bo added , the salary

number of men. That this assumption
of power has been shamelessly abused , is
a matter of record , And yet the bood-

notors of busihoss methods in city
affairs.
THAT extra' thousand dollars gener

of business methods in public affairs.
The architects will doubtless reciprocate

Mummii WIM , OUT.
A private dispatch received In this city
this morning outlines n rather sensational
story. It is to the oftcct that Stanley Kendrick -
drick , a colored man formerly of this citv ,
nad confessed or had told to some parties in
St Louis that he had stabbed n man in Lin
coln iu the latter part of 1SS3. Definite information
mation is yet to bo obtained , but it is thought
by the ollicers that the man referred to was
named Erickson , son a fanner living near
Lineoln. Krickson visited the house of
Francis ' Chirk , known ns "BItr Five , "
102" Q street , ono night in the latter part of
1SSS , and spent considerable money there.
Ho became embroiled in n dllUculty with
some ono of the Inmates and was stabbed in
a vital part of the groin with a penknife.
The case was never reported to the police ,
and the facts were not known unt'l ' some
weeks afterward , when Krickson died. On
Ills death oed , ibis said , he told tbo story , but
ref used to give the nauio of the party who did
the stabbing or when It occurred.
The cnso was reported to the police , but
they could sccuro no evidence and it was
dropped. It was believed that Lilllo Vine
was the murderess. About a year ngo Lilllo

Governor Thaver has sent the following
Instructions to the various county clerks and
county commissioners of the state concern
ing the distribution of supplies auione the
needy farmers :
' The work of furnishing relief to thn
drought sufferers bus assumed such great
proportion that I have organized a state relief
committee. They nro hard nt work formulat
ing plans for affording the necessary relief
beyond what your county can give.
"In order to sccuro frco transportation wo
must have a complete organization for dis
tributing supplies in each county.V111 you
perfect sucji nn organization in your county
at onco. You will ho required to give
a receipt to the railroad company
for the supplies sent to your county ,
and in turn must Insist upon these whom
you appoint to distribute these supplies tak
ing a receipt from the parties receiving
them. I am compelled to insist upon a com
pliance with this order for counties tlmt will
not organize cannot bo given assistance.
"Kcv. Gco. W. Martin , D.D. , has boon ap
pointed superintendent of relief with head
quarters at Lincoln. Will you pleuso com
municate with him immediately upon com
pletion of your organization.
"You nro expected to kcop an accurate list
of all supplies you distribute of-every kind ,
taking names of parties to whom given , and
naming the articles so that a full.account con
bo rendered of everything. You will plcaso
keep these accounts in duplicate nnd return
ono to this omco wiien the work Is over.
"I enjoin It upon you especially to see that
the supplies of every kind are distributed
fairly among these who need thorn ; you must
not give anything to those people whom you
know are able to take care of thoimolvos.
This is the only alllleulty I moot with
in regard to people Riving. They sny many
pei-sons will got a portion of the supplies
whoso circumstances are ouch that tiny do
not need them but can easily take care of
themselves. This is undoubtedly sometimes
true , that pcoplo who have an abundance
will profess to bo In need and take portions
of thu contributions which should only go to
these who are in absolute need of thorn. I
insist YOU must guara against any distribu
tion of the donations to that class of people
who , though abundantly able to take care
of themselves are willing to thrive
nt the expenses of. the sufferers.
These human ghouls must bo guarded against
with all the vlgilanco you can command. . The
people are giving cheorf nlly and they only
want the assurance that it will go to the des
titute and the suffering. it probably is the
case that many who are needing assistance
live nt remote points from the county scat.
It will bo your duty to see that they nro no-
titled of the arrival of supplies
at your plnco so they can bo ready
to receive their share , I beg you
to sco that none who are in need nro over
looked , but divide everything with an im
