Mistaken Alinuuilril. A resolution was Introduced by Mr. Cock- roll for a reprint of the Indian appropriation bill and which was finally agreed to led to n pretty long discussion of the numerous errors that have been discovered In the enrollment of apnroprlatlou bill * . Mr. Hale said that ho hud found more than eighty errors In the naval appropriation bill ; some of them were Important. Grave questions had been raised by errors in the appropria tion bills errors committed , not by the son. nto clerks , but by the house clerks. Ono ol those errors was the insertion of 57 Instead of $1)7,000 ) as an appropriation for the bureau of engraving nnd printing. Mr. Allison thought some of the errors committed at the last session were Inoxcus nblo. He regretted them very much , but he know of no way whereby the scnato could exorcise Jurisdiction over the enrolling clerks of the house. Mr. Cockrell stated It as a well known fact that thrco of the Important appropriation bills of the last session had never been prop crly compared and could not have been ex i-opt at the expense of an extra session ol congress. Mr. ( Jorinnn Kxplnlns. Mr. Gorman said that the appropriation bills had never been so delayed as at the lasl session. Two or thrco of the great appropri ation bills had been delayed in the last twc days of the session by useless discussion ol other matters. The result had been that when the bills went to the house tc bo enrolled thcro was not sufllclcni time to have the work properly done Ho admitted that thcro had beci great carelessness. In the nava appropriation bill , a great number of error ; had occurred. They occurred on every pag ( of the bill. Still the fact remained that I : the scnato clock had shown standard timi the naval appropriation bill , oven in its im perfect form , would not have been presentee for the signature of the president. It was : lesson which ho trusted no senator woult forget hereafter. It was to bo regrettoc that so many errors had occurred , but It win n wonder that there was not still more o them. Ho added tlmt onn of the appropria tlon bills had not reached the scnato ( enrolled rolled ) until 1 o'clock on the 4th of March b ; standard time , or 1 o'clock by the senati time. time.When When this discussion closed the senati proceeded to executive business and soon ad Journcd until Wednesday.

Whit ney of Now York , to bo assistant attorney general , and ono or two minor nominations , i'lio failure to act in the case of Whitney Is doubtless duo to the fact that the committee on Judiciary has not yet mot to pass on the nomination. James D. Eustls , named as minister to Franco , was made White's successor as senator from the state of Louisiana. His ap pointment meets with general favor here. Wade Hamilton of South Carolina , who Is to become railroad commissioner , served In tlio United States scnato twelve years , finally yielding that iwst because of the an tagonism of the alliance clement Ir. his native state.

Senator Vilns says his nomination will moot the cor dial endorsement of the i > cople of Wisconsin regardless of party affiliations. The notnin.it Ion of ICrncst P.

CROWING VERY INTERESTING Lincoln's Approaching Election Promises to Bo Unusually Exciting. PECULIAR FEATURES OF THE CONTEST I.lkcly to Scttlo n Dlnputn of Several Vonm Duration Independent * Aik fur n Mnncliumu to Curry Their 1'nlnt. LINCOLN , Nob. , March 20. [ Special to THE | KEB. ] City politics appear to bo the chief concern of Lincoln citizens now , nnd ad- J ditlonul caloric was Injected Into the cam paign today when the Independent city cen tral committee applied to the district court for a mandamus to compel City Clerk Van Duyn to place the names of O. W. Cromwell , candidate for city attorney ; J. C. MoNerny , jiollco Judge ; William Croinbie , water com missioner ; J. I . Walton , city engineer , on the Australian ballot. These ofllccs were tilled last year , prosuai.ibly for two years , but Mayor Weir has taken legal advice and included them In his election proclamation , claiming that the election last year was simply to fill a vacancy. In order to test the matter nnd receive the court's endorsement or disapproval It was arranged that the city clerk should refuse to place those names on the ticket and afford Interested parties an opportunity to test it in the courts. The history of the controversy Is a long one , but interesting. History of tlio Controverity. For four years prior to March , 1837 , Lincoln was organUcd as a city of the second class having more than 10,000 inhabitants. On March 25 , 1887 , the governor approved an act to Incorporate cities of the first class having loss than 00,000 and more than 25,000 Inhabitants. This was an original act. It was not amend atory of the act under which Lincoln was then Incorporated. That act , somewhat amended , is still in force , and several cities in this state are now orcanlicd under It. On the date mentioned the governor issued his proclamation declaring Lin coln a citv of the first class. On the first Tuesday of the ensuing April the elec tors of the reorganized city of Lincoln elected a mayor , treasurer , clerk ' and cotin- cltmon under the now law. On' March 2U , 18S9 , the governor approved an act to Incor porate cities of the llrst class. This now not repealed the act of 1887. But an examina tion of its provisions will show that it was amendatory of the act of 1837 , and was not an original act. The governor Issued no proclamation under the law of 188' ' ) . April i ) , 1801 , the governor approved an act amenda tory of the aut of Ibs'J. ' No proclamation has been issued by the governor under this act , and none since the proclamation of March 25 , 1837. The great authority upon municipal cor porations says : "A repeating clause In a re vised and amendatory charter , whereby a former provision is included in the revised act. does not , ns to such provision , interrupt the continuity of the original act. " 1. Dil lon on Municipal Corporations , section 80. Under the rule thus announced , and by force of section 5J of the charter , the words , "at the first annual election after such proc lamation by the governor. " in section 1U , must bo held to refer to the governor's proc lamation of March 25 , 1837. and the annual election on the first Tuesday in April thereafter. As amended in 1801 , there fore , section 18 , in effect declares that n mayor , treasurer , clerk , water commissioner , city attorney , city engineer and police Judge shall bo elected in 1837 "for the term of two years and biennially there after. " As thus construed , the statute de clares , first , that the water commissioner , city attorney , city engineer anil police judge shall bo elected at the same election at which the mayor , treasurer and clerk are elected ; and second , that each election shall be held in 1837 and biennially thereafter. Additional interest in the campaign Is in fused by the organized effort to compel the withdrawal of 11. 13. Graham , republican candidate for' mayor , and place .lohn n. Wright In his stead. The matter will be dis cussed at a meeting of the republican city central committee tomorrow evening. Fought fur the Olllco. North Ninth street was the scene of an ex citing scrap this morning. The Daily Union ist is the title of a morning paper that has been issued daily by the striking printers , the material having been rented by the printers from William O'Shca. On this ma terial Hallouk & Co. of Omaha held a chattel mortgage , which they some weeks ago sold to John Mclntosh , a master printer of this city. The mortgage was overdue , and at 0 o'clock this morning Mclntosh and a con stable appeared for the purpose of taking possession. By some means the boys had learned of the anticipated move and had sent their forms to the Newspaper union to bo printed before the constable arrived. They contained a scrcecher of an editorial , denouncing the action ns instigated by the Journal and the boodle gang to kill the paper nnd cripple the Typographical union. A rush was made by the constable to secure the forms , but they had been hurriedly stereotyped anu the edition came out ail right. The constable and mortgagee next ap peared with a big van , and were loading up with the entire contents of the oflico , when William O'Shca appeared and ordered them to Icavo a portion of the goods , which it transpired later were not covered by Mclu. tosh's mortgage. Before this was dis covered , however , Molntosh nnd O'Shea had a little round-up with their fists , and the police were called , but no arrests made. There wore lively times for a few minutes , but the material was moved to South Tenth street , where it will bo used In the publica tion of a daily labor paper in the interests of Graham , republican nominee for mayor. The new paper will bo known as the Ne braska Wormnan , and the union printers claim It is started with the intention of breaking the strike. City In Ilrlnf. Mrs. Justus Martin , living nt Sixteenth and X streets , swore out n warrant for the arrest of her husband today on the charge of assaulting her. Martin has not yet been arrested. When ho married the woman she was the possessor of several children , nnd the scrap appears to have been caused by Justus' attempting to administer some cor- rectlvo'vunishment. ' George W.

L Judge Hall and a Jury are engaged today in heaving a case wherein Noah Hodges sues the Burlington for $20,000 damages. Hodges was injured in a runaway caused by his horses Irightening at n handcar. Tho' acci dent occurred near Milo , Warren county , la and the failure of the company to place guards over an embankment , as provided by the Iowa law , appears to bo the principal ground on which the case rests for plaintiff.

We have no desire to stir up a fight with the doctors , but the fact remains that our Lieht Overcoats are a whole lot nicer o to take than Pneumonia medicine.
