LINCOLN , Feb. 13. ( Speehl Telegram )
The friends of the TransmlRslsilppl Exposi
tion propose lo make a determined effort
during the ; ensuing legislative week to bring
the bill appropriating ? 1CO,000 for the aid
cf the enterprise before the legislature for
final action , one viay or the olhcr. There
Ins been but one reason why the measure
has not been acted upon , ind lhat one reason
Is compressed within the word "politics. "
The ) assertion hai be-on made and reiterated
that Ibo fusion majority In the house Is
ntrong cnoimh to pass the bill , but that the
republicans have dclajed action. The un
reasonableness of thla assumption eccms to
Ln apparent when It Is rcmwnbereJ there are
In the house of representatives seventj-lwe
fuilonlnts am' but twenty-right republicans
Tin ability of the majority to take up the
measure' should be unquestioned. Of com Be
It must be admitted that not all of the members
bors of the majority paity ate favorable te
thB bill ; on the other hanrt , It Is not dcnlce
that those ot the majority who are unwllllm
to veito an appropriation me ! ready at anj
tlmo lo accept the responsibility of theli
votes. There are many republicans read ;
to vote for the measure when they are giver
nn opportunity. The favorable result of r
ve/.o Is not doulitol by any friends of the
exposition. DIP republican nilnot Ity In the
house kee-nlj ivtunla the Imputation that li
bill. It 1'
has dclaje-d action upem the
Irue several republican members are favorIng -
Ing a policy of doluy , but the larger piopor
lion of the republican members ate rcadj
and anxious to vote for the- bill
BUSY PLAY ) NO POLITICS
H Is we'll e--lnbllslicd hpio that a faction o
the majority hrs bee-n engaged In a gameo
politics every day slnco the opening ot thi
resslon The piogrsni of tills faction ha-
b ui cleru from beginning The leadln ;
fcatuics of that pioKiam have been thn un
( eating ot the four republicans from Donglai
county the recount of the ballots cast for tin
constitutional amendments and the repea
of the beet sugar bounty law. The proRran
has been outlined and prehente-d by the verj
men who should have tbe > exposition most a
heait 'Ihe feeling Is growing tint ells
tlnctlve paitj measures should bo left ti
piity mon and that the men who have beci
designated to push the expedition ontcrpilsi
should confine their efforts to that projec
aloro.
It cannot be successfully refuted that tin
leaders of the majority have determined ti
make the exposition a party measure. Tin
vvholo policy of delay has be-en pursued litho
the vain hope that by some' means the repub
lit an minority can be crowded Into a posltloi
where It will oppo o the exposition as :
party question. Then the majority leader !
hope to rush the exposition bill through the
house and the senate and to the governoi
BO as to he able * to point to the approprla
tlon as one of the thine * foi which Omalu
Bhould he grateful to tne flee silver pirty
The republicans comprising the mlnorltj wll
not bo caught In a tiap so skillfully con
reived , but so carelessly executed Most o
them , It not all of thru , will vote for thi
exposition bill. Thej a.r\ready to vote a
any time.
MAY BRING ALL HANDS TOGDTIIER.
The feeling Is ripldly growing In Icgls
latlvo clicles that the time foi action hai
eome and that the attempts of thr > free sll
vrr lenders to force the icpubllcans to voti
ngilnst' ' the exposition ontcipil'se shoule
ce-aoe The exposition means evcrj thing fo
Ncbiaika. 'Ihe tiiumph of a single factloi
moans nothing for the Htite Prompt ac
tlon seems to bo Imperative In orelcr to prevent
vent unfavoiable action in other states , am
many members ot the legislature beltevi
that the tlmo has come when such actloi
Bhould bo taken without regard to part :
triumph. If the exposition bill passes i
must pass as tltovlll of a majority of tin
members of the legislature without a rcsor
to party distinction.
Tlieio Is a movement on foot , partlcl
paled In by members of each house , to brim
about a Joint caucus of the majority cle
ment In behalf of the exposition Friend :
of the bill among the populists declare tha
the tlmo has come for ai tlon , that tin
credit of the state Is suffering from elcla ;
cud that If It depends on the populists ti
pass the bill they cannot act too quickly
The caucus will likely bo arranged for 01
a night early next week.

The books of the Insurance department of
the state auditor's otnco thow that cx-Au-
illtor Eugene Moore has standing against
him for Insurance fees , collected and not
turned In , the amount of $25,700. A week
ago this amount was $27,200 , but Mr. Moore
nas since then palJ In $1,500 , leaving the
above balance. He sojs that the amount
will all bo paid within a short time. The
$1,500 paid has been turned over to State
Treasurer Meson c. It Is necessary to keep
the records of the Insurance department
clear that the money shall be flint turned
Into the auditor's office.
The state treasurer was asked today for
Information concerning the condition of the
state treasury , and , Incidentally , how ex-
Treasurer Hartley was coming on In the
way of turning over the funds In his poi > -
scsslon. State Treasurer Mescrve eald that
the houee and senate had appointed a pre
liminary Investigating committee to Inquire
Into the condition of the funds , and that
he was now preparing a statement to lay
before them. Ho said he did not desire to
anticipate that statement by publication of
the full facts just now , but he added that
the ititcment would bo ready next week ,
and would bs submitted to the committee.
Th's committee has also tended to retard
somewhat the quarterly report of the treas
urer , due the first of the month , and which
\i \ usually transmitted to the state auditor
before the 8th. This leport will bo sent In
scon after the preliminary examination by
the committee , and thereafter It will be
transmitted once a month. It Is understood
that Treasurer Meserve lias turned all the
cash received from Mr. Hartley Into one
fund , and that he lntcnd .to confine moat
of the cash on hand to one fund In the
future It la not exactly clear how thla
will expedite matters In the treisury.
CHANGES IN THE OFFICE.
The old partition In the treasurer's of
fice , which formerly extended lengthwise of
the ofllco , north and south , has been re
moved .mil planted exactly across the door
way of the main business office , a few feet
from the entrance. Tils Imparts to the In
terior of the department more the air of a
bank , besides affording the clerki and em
ployes considerable more room. Thetreas
urer's private ofilce , which under the admin
istrations of all other treasurers has been
open all through business hours to the
public , le now kept locked and Impassable tc
any one.
An Incident occurred today which Illus
trates the Ideas which appear to actuate
Trtasnier Mcserve In the discharge of his
duty. A man b > the name of Wcstovcr had
done fromo cxpeit locksmith work on the lock
of the \ault and had brought In a bill of
$1) ) . When ho presented It Mr. Mescrvo de
clined to 0 1C the voucher for that amount.
The locksmith said ho had worked the bet
ter part of two dajs on the lock , and that
such expert work was actually woith $1-
Treasurcr Mcseivo said ho had had expert
work on locks done by men who had come
from Chicago to do It , and he had never been
charged more tl-an $5 per day. Mr. West-
over claimed that in the past he had been
paid as h'sli as $12 for just such a job , but
the trcasuier said there was a new era , and
that he would not pay that much. Ho then
O K'rt the bill for a day and a half at $5
per daj $7.50 and Mr. Westover went ovci
to the auditor's ofilco after his warrant.
APPROPRIATION UILLS.
The house committee on finance , wajs and
means put In another long day's work on
the appropriation bills , adjourning about C
p m Reduction of salaries was again the
subject of consideration. Governor Hoi-
comb , Warden Lcidlgh and a number of
other heads of departments and state Insti
tutions appeared before the committee and
urged many objections to cutting salaries
Notwithstanding this the committee grimly
wont ahead and recommended reductions.
The supreme court was taken up , but
nothing was done with regard to the fees
received by Clerk Davis A. Campbell. As
ho lecclves no stated salary , It was deemed
best to draw up a bill to cover his case , the
same as has been done with the clerks ol
the distilct courts Two clerks , hovever ,
\\ero reduced from $1,000 to $800 , and one
bailiff suffered the same reduction.
The Homo for the Friendless fared bet
ter. The appropilatlon for the blennlun :
granted by the last legislature was $30,500
One thousand dollars was added tc this am :
$3,000 will be recommended for new boilers
and setting of the same.
The penitentiary fared with less consid
eration. The biennial appropriation of lS9r
was $107,000. The committee today cut this
to $60,000 , allowing $2 000 for repairs and
$3.000 for incidentals , bringing the entire
amount up to only about $05,000 for the
biennlum.
The Peru Normal school drew $32,000 twt
jears ago This was Increased by the com
mittee to $40,000 , the amount to cover sal-
aiies of three more teachers.
The State Board of Transportation was
given a stenographer at a salary of $ SOO.
This was refused It by the session of 1833 ,
A bill was pending reducing the salaries
of the three secretaries , and theie Is alsc
another bill Increasing thtlr powers ovei
the railroads.
Ono stenographer v\as thrown out of tin
Board of Irrigation and another reduced
from $1,000 to $ SOO. Ono of the stenog
raphers In the governors office was Increased
from $800 to $900.
Chairman Claik of the committee sajs the
appropriation bills will be ready to report
Thursday or Friday of next week.
CHANGING Till : DEPOSITORY LAW.
The senate has passed the bill requiring
all state and private banks In Nebraska tc
contribute to a fund , fiom which is to be
drawn the money to pay the losses Inclined
by depositors In Insolvent banks. There
Ecems to bo grave reasons for the suspicion
that In theiical to protect the depositor
of unsound financial Institutions the popul-
lUta Imvo overreached themselves and do-
stoycd the Btato and count ; * deijoaltoiy law
In order to Insure a readier compliance with
the law the Dth section of the bill pasted
jcsterday absolutely prohibits Etato or
county treasurers from depositing public
funds In banks that do not contribute tlulr
share of the tax sought to bo Imposed by the
measure. National banka , at courto , cannot
bo reached by the act. Hut the law pro
hibits them from holding btato or county
funds. As u result all national banks now
holding state funds will bo compelled tc
surrender them as soon as the law goes Into
operation Many counties of the state have
no Etato or private banks , and In such the
county treahiirer would be unable to deposit
uirrc.rU funds under the depository law. The
onlj waj out ol the dilemma would bo the
establishment of new banks under the Juris
diction of the Stute Banking board.
Ono tiling may transpire to temporarily
suspend all agitation over the state deposi
tory law. State Treasurer Mcservo make *
no secret of the fact that during tila ad
ministration the law will be practically a
dead letter from tjie fore a of circumstances
HH tajs ho will make every endeavor to
pay off the floating Indebtedness of the state
He will call In the outstanding general fund
warrants as rapidly as he can secure funds
to pay them off. To do this will necessarily
compel him to keep the general fund ex-
hauitt'd ,
If this fund Is not permitted to accuinu
late there will be no money belonging to
the funds to bo placed In depository bankt ,
The money In the depository banks at pres
ent must necessarily bo drawn out sonic
tlmo und as fast as It la drawn out It wll |
l > u applied to the extinguishment of the general -
oral fund Indebtedness.
APPROPRIATION HILLS DELAYED.
The house committee on ways and moans
has been bard at work since Thurdaj's ad
journment on the big appropriation bills ,
The committee has both of the larger bllU
well in hand , although progrew has been
slow. There are two of these' bills , one
making the blvnulal appropriation for the
salaries of the various dtp rtrnrltal officers |
of the state government and the other for the
maintenance of the state insllUlllong The ,
salary bill Is not nearly reaByf 'and little i
can bo done on the other until the commit
tees have returned from thdtfl rttiur of In
spection ,
The committee hopes to raak * ft reduc
tion of over $500,000 from lha amount ap
propriated two years ago. The last legis
lature appropriated the surrj of ( $2,7S4CS4.
Some of the members of the committee even
hope to reduce this nmolmt to $2,000 000 ,
but It has a herculean laak before It.
Nearly all of the state Institutions arc re
questing money for extensive Improvements.
Tew of these requests will be granfcd. There
seems to be a fair prospectfor , an appro
priation , of nbout $30,000 for .a now , wing to
the asylum for the chronic insane at Hast
ings , but the other Institutions for the care
of the Insane will have to make shift with
money for repairs only. The commlttoe will
probably make a sufllclcnl .appropriation to
fit up a building for the Lincoln nsjlutn seas
as to make It available for the occupancy
of patients. The building Is already on the
grounds , and It will require but $0,000 to fit
It up In proper shape.
MANY NEW BUILDINGS WANTED.
The superintendents of several state Insti
tutions arc asking for mnny new buildings.
T.ie State university nska for buildings to
erst $50,000 ; the Peru Normal school wants
$15,000 for this purpcso , In addition to the
new dormitory to replace the nno recently
destroyed by fire , making an additional $20-
000 ; the Lincoln Hospital for , the Insane
asks for $1CCOO ; the one at Hastings , $72-
000 ; Home for the Friendless at Lincoln ,
$5,000 ; Soldiers * Homo at Grand Island ,
$10,000 ; Soldiers' Homo at Mllford , $1,000.
The total amount asked for for now build
ings Is nearly $200,000.
Another Item of saving contemplated by
the committee Is In the matter of appro
priating money for the payment of the county
sheriffs who bring convicts to the state
penitentiary , or who transfer patients to the
Insane asylum or to the Industrial schools.
The total amount asked tor Is $1000 , to
gether with a deficiency from the last ses
sion of nearly $10,000. Bills have been

Prof. Taylor has \lsti < nl th" beet-grow Inq
section' of Germany , RUPSII and Austila
twice within the past five years and his
knowledge of beet-growing In those countries
'o derived from his personal observations
The price paid there was , $3 50 per ton of
2,400 pounds. Most ot the work was done
by women , who receive from $7 to $ S per
month and are obliged to iwork from day
light to dark. He did no think that thla
cheap labor would accomplish , nearly as
much work la a day no . , Amcrlcin labor ,
but he thought our dollar cquld buy as much
for the same amount of Jabor as any In
Europe In the countries ho visited no
bounties are laid. Thla section of countrj
lie considered more favorablj adapted to beet-
growing than the best districts of Europe.
Prof. Ljons , also of the Statp university

Tillage. " He presented many facts showing
that all crops took nutritive- elements from
the soil , which should be Replaced by some
