LINCOLN' , Oct. 1'J. ( Special. ) Of all the
etafo officers under the present admlnlstra-
tlon Attorney General Smyth acems to have
had the least regard for the state constitu
tion. The records show that ho has been
engaged In a grab game during all Uio time
that he has been In office and Instead of up
holding the constitution In Its strict letter ,
ho has , figuratively speaking , trampled that
document In thu dust whenever and
vherovor there has been a chance for finan
cial gain In so doing. Tim constitution
( Article v , section 21) ) provides that the sal-
nry of the attorney general shall bo $2.000
per year , "and after the adoption of this
constitution rhey shall not receive to their
own useony fees , costs , Interests upon pub
lic moneya In their hands or under their
control , perquisites of office or other com
pensation. " The same Bectlon provl' ' i i -t'
"there shall bo no allowance 'or clerk hire
In the offices of the superintendent of ; > bile
instruction and attorney general. " Section
2G of the same article Is In full as follows :
"No other executive state office shall be
continued or created , and Urn dalles now
devolving upon officers not provided for by
this constitution shall be performed by tbc
officers herein created. "
These plfivislons have caused C. J. Smyth
no uueaslneia. There are vouchers on Hie
at the stnto house to ? lnw that le has up
lo dafo drawn the following lums of money
Oftlclul tmhiry - * 3IM8fi
Maximum rate cam ! .175.26
Governor' * prosecution fund IfiS.So
Traveling expenses 433.05
Total "W.MS.S2
IMnnl ) ' of Help 111 the Ollloi * .
Iiiidr.- these amounts the deputy attorney
neneral has been drawing pay at the rate of
J150 per month and has taken all the trim
mings that came his way. There has been
employed In the ofllco a clerk who has drawn
up to date $1,300 , and besides this extra help
n stenographer has been employed by the
office most of the time , the compensation
1-unnlng to about $1,000. The pay for this
latter clerk has been taken from the fund
provided for the governor to aid In the
prosecution of state officials , and from va
rious Incidental funds , the scraping up of
the salary for the extra clerk , reminding one
of Uowlck's manipulation of the amusement
fund at the asylum. The constitution has
been evaded by calling one clerk a deputy ,
another a "stenographer" and the female
clerk Is simply paid and called "expense"
on the records , which designation , so far as
the taxpayers are concerned , la quite cor
X
rect. This large office force , which seems to
have been expressly prohibited by the con
stitution , has attended to the business of
the office , and the attorney general has thus
been able to spend most of his time at home
attending to bis private business or In
structing the voters on political matters.
The various pretences under which Smyth
has pulled "perquisites" out of the public
treasury how up In an Interesting manner
on the record. The following Is the wording
of a few of them :
Voucher 13841 , drawn July 30 , 1897-
"nallroad faro and hotel bill to Chicago ,
taking deposition In State against Moshcr
ct al. $35.15. "
Voucher 10020 , March 31 , 1897 "Expense
viz : Kallroad fare , hotel bills and expenses
In connection with preparation of reply brief
in maximum rate cases. $180. "
Voucher 13810 , July 30 "Railroad fare ,
hotel bills and expense to Washington pend
ing motion and submitting maximum rate
cases , $193.2B. "
Voucher 13839 , July 30 "doing to , and re
turning from O'Neill In case State agalns
Hartley , $21.20. "
Voucher 21281 , May 10 , 1898 "Expense ti
"Washington attending supreme court of the
tinted States In the matter of motion for

lows : Kallroad fare , $76.25 ; hotel bills.

Voucher 17744. December 21 , IS'JT "Rall-
road faro and hotel bills In case of Board
against State before commlrsloncr of general
land office nt Washington. $151. Also hotel
expenses and money paid out for steno
graphic n&slstanco in State against Hartley ,
$50. "
Some I'ppiiIlnrllloH I'reneiitfil.
There ore some peculiarities about these
vouchers , and the public will wonder how
Smyth managed to perform such expensive
Bervlces when nobo'ly was looking. Tor In-
Btance , voucher 17741 Is drawn against the
fund provided for "traveling expenses , " and
the $50 for hotel bills and stenographer In
Inat
the Hartley case was when Smyth was at
homo at Omaha and ho must have strained
a great deal to figure In thu hotel bill or
to designate the btonographer as "traveling
expense. "
It will bo noticed , too , that there Is a
doubling up In the vouchers for the maximum 1-
1g
mum rate case expense , so that by swearing >
to three separate- bills h * managed to draw
J375.2G from the maximum rate case fund
idd
, and $133 from the "traveling expense" fund ,
all for the same service , and on a Junket
rte Washington that resulted In no good to
toV
the state of Nebraska. All this time the offi
cial salary of the attorney general was [
Kolng on and uas being drawn with startling
tza
ling regularity , the maximum rate bonanza
To be idle is the hardest of
all tasks. Our Rmntlmothcrs
understood thia and even in
their leisure uiomcnts
were never found with
out MUIIC little task in
- their hands , if it were
only kmttins , tat
ting or crochet-
in < j. There was a
reason for this
that docs not np-
pear upon the
BUT face. Our
grandmothers
were heilthy wo
men , imbued with
u spirit of ambi
tion and activity
that would not
permit them to
'be ' idle.
If many modern
women are much
less active and more given to idleness than
the stately dames of yore , it is because they
enjoy a stmllcr measure of peed health.
A woman wl o suffers from weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organs ,
who is racked with pain , nud tortured with
headaches and nervousness , cannot be ac
tive and helpful. Idleness and invalidisra
are the natural results of suffering of this
description. The poor invalid woman is
not nt fault , save in her ignorance of her
own physical make-up or neglect of her
womanly health.
Thousands of women arc neglectful in
this way because they hhritik from the em-
barrassfiiR examinations and local treat
ment insisted upon by the majority of
obscure physicians. Dr. U. V Pierce , for
thirty yean chief con.sultinjf physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute ,
at DufMo. N. Y. , han discovered a wonder
ful medicine that cures all diseases peculiar
to women , in the privacy of the home , without -
out the necessity of these embarrassing
ordeal ! ! . This crcat medicine is known aa

being a "perquisite" pure and simple. The '
fact that ho carried free passes on tbc roads
between here and Washington did not pre01
> ent the reform attorney from specifying
railroad fare as ono of the burdensome
Items In hU expense bills.
The voucher for the ( t Nelll trip cost the
state { 21.20. although It Is well known that
Smyth carried an annual pass over the Ulk *
horn road nt that time us well as at the
present time.
The JlCS.fcG drawn by the attorney general
from the fund provided for the governor to '
aid In the prosecution of state officials came
In five Installments and the vouchers do not
explain why It was not part of Smyth's offil
clal duty to assist In this prosecution In return -
turn for his regular pay. It appears from
the record that every time he performed any
sovlco for the state ho pat in an extra bill
against some fund other than that provided
to pay hln salary but that In no case was the
regular salary ever allowed to rust In the
treasury vaults. In the meantime Deputy
Smith and Clerk Corcoran and the female
stenographer were busy drawing from the
various funds , which Hems , so far as the
records disclose , they retained for their own
use. There Is no proof that the attorney
general levied assessments against the mem
bers of his official force.
Itforlvcil Mix-mi Trrntnient.
In looking through the appropriations
made by the last legislature It Is discov
ered that C. J. Smyth enjoyed n pretty ,
strong pull with the committees which , ac
cording to Lieutenant Governor Harris ,
were selected by the corporations. Besides
the regular salary provided for Smyth , the
ditto for Smith , nnd the $1,000 a year for
Clerk Corcoran , the reform legislature al
lowed $2u25 to run the office , whereas the
last republican legislature deemed $1,300 all
that was necessary. The comparative Items
are as follows , being taken from the ses
sion laws of 1893 and 1897 :
1&97. 1S95

In spite of the fact that the legislature
dealt with his office In a more liberal man
ner than usual the attorney-general failed
to observe any economy , but on the con
trary has up to date drawn $514.11 from
other funds and ha spent nearly $1,000 of
the people's money for a stenographer who
Is known on the record by the significant
name of "Expense. " In the meantime the
other members of his office force have been
allowed to draw extra pay from the treas
ury , when their salaries are clearly specified
by law , or when under the strict reading of
the constitution they are entitled to no
salaries whatever. The voters will reraem-
her that this Is the same C. J. Smyth who
Is now going over the , state boasting of his
own great legal ability.

there was a good turnout at the opera house

hour and a half ho presented the Issues of
the day In a very able and pleasing manner.
Ho Is a very forceful , though pleasant
speaker , and ho was paid the most market !
attention throughout. There are a number
of old-time democrats here who believe they
got the short end of the deal when Mr.
Poynter was nominated , and It Is sa.'o to say
that Mr. Hayward will got more than the
party vote In Plattc county.

through which the backs went for big gains.

DELEGATES ARE GOING HOME
.tin ii- Nut Wnltliifr for Conclusion of
IlnnliicHN of the Rpldcuiin-
llnii Convention.
WASHINGTON , Oet. 1 ! ) . While no time
has been set for the final adjournment of
the Episcopal convention , the attendance Is
beginning to fall oft and deputies are leav
ing for home. Attention was called to this
In the house of deputies today and delegates
were urged to get through with Important
questions before the membership thins out.
The question of marriage and divorce
has not yet been considered In the house of
deputies and there are evidences that the
house of bishops , after having postponed
the subject Indefinitely , may reconsider
this action.
The division of Indiana Into three
dloccsos , the southern being a missionary
Jurisdiction , raised a spirited debate In the
house of deputies. The majority report
against the creation of the southern In
diana missionary dloccco finally was
adopted.
When consideration of the constitution
was resumed , article vl , relating to the
establishment of missionary districts and
article .tl , relating to a bishop's exercise of
his offices outside his diocese , wcro agreed
to ' with amendments made by the bishops.
The morning session of the house of
bishops was Important In bringing about the
adoption of what Is known ns the Huntington - j
ton amendment looking toward church
unity. The amendment authorizes bishops
to take under their spiritual guidance con-
gregatftms which accept the essential tenets
of the church , although they do not strictly
observe the church ritual. The amend
ment was adopted with minor changes oa
part of the canons Instead of the constitu
tion. The canons also wcro amended In
requiring ono year's time before ordina
tion Instead of six months.
The revision of the constitution progressed
by the adoption of the title and articles
10 and 11 , also articles 7 and 2. as
amended by the deputies. A resolution
defining the boundaries of Bishop Graves'
territory In China was adopted.
