Article 111 of the constitution of Ne
braska provides that nt the flnU regular
fiosdlnn of the legislature after the
census ( 'numeration by the state ,
and at the next regular ses
sion of the legislature after oni'li
eiiiiini'rniloii made by authority of the
United States , "but at no oilier time , tin-
legislature shall apportion the senators
and reprcsentatlvoH according to the
number of Inhabitants , excluding In
dians not taxed and soldiers and otHcurs
of the United States army and navy. "
W. A. Poyntor was a member of thu
state senate of thu twenty-second legis
lative session. On January 0 , IS'.tl ' , Mr.
1'oynter was duly sworn hi. "I do
solemnly swenr I will support the con
stitution of the United Status and the
constitution of the state of Nebraska'iind
will faithfully discharge the duties of
member of the legislature according to
the best of my ability , " etc.
On April II , IS'Jl , house roll 280 , a bill
for an act to district the state of Ne
braska Into senatorial , representative
nnd congressional districts and for thu
apportionment of senators , representa
tives and congressmen , ami to 11 x the
number of the same , and to repeal sec
tions 1 , 2 , ( t1 t , 5 and 0 of the Com
piled Statutes of Nebraska , was read
the third time and placed upon lls passage -
sago In the house of representatives anil
was passed by a vote of M to U5 , as re
corded on page 1S01 of the house Jour
nal. The bill was sent to the sennit
and by that body was referred to the
committee of tlie whole. It was re
ported back April -1 with the recom
mendation that It bo Indellnitely post
poned.
William A. Poynter moved "that tin
report of the committee of the whole
bo adopted , " and his motion prevailed ,
Ily this action a largo section of west

eastern part of the slate were robbed
of their just representation In the logls

In round number.1 * , by the census oi
1890 , this state had a population 01

thirty-three and It gives us 151,812 as tin

mil 158,000 Inhabitants and Is entltlei

Again divide 1,050,000 by 100 , whlcl
gives 10,500 as the basis for oni
representative. This would give Doug
as county llftoen members of the house
nstead of nine , as at present. Nomah !

MKNACK OF A DKMUGIIATIG HOUSE.
Hon. John K. Cowon of Maryland ,
sound money democrat , believes , wit
General Palmer and other promlneii
sound money democrats , that It Is th
lnty of such democrats to vote for n
publican candidates for congress. Mi

Ohio railroad , Is brought into coutac
with largo financial operations. In a r <

There Is no doubt that such would I

could do nothing to affect the current1 ;
its election would be so distinct
menace to the cause of sound mom
that a severe shock would bo given
financial confidence and capital woul

The first evidence of this would bo set
In the depreciation of American seem

ninxaixn 1'ius ro irno.vo MAJIKKT.
Twelve years ago the people of Ne
braska were besieged by an army of
woman suffrage agitators , who came
from all polnls of the compass to urge
Nebraska ns to change their state coti'
stltntlon to conform to their demands
for the ballot for women. After pa
tiently submitting to the ordeal tin
voters of Nebraska declared through tin
ballot box that they had not been
converted by the Imported female cm
saders.
Eight years ago an attempt was mndt
to force upon Nebraska constitutional
prohibition through the Inllucmio and
pressure of agitators Imported fron :
states , most of which had voted dowi :
similar propositions or repealed tholi
prohibition laws after due trial. Again
the people of Nebraska turned tholi
backs upon the intruders who soughl
to accomplish hero what they hat !
failed In at home.
And now comes George Kred Wll
Hams all the way from republican Mas
sachtisctts to tell the people of Ne
braska why they should pursue a pollcj
repudiated by the people of Massaehn
setts. While this may not bo an Jin
pertinence , It Is certainly a presump
tlon that the people of Nebraska neo (

The population of Nebraska is mnd <

that they cannot acquire wealth with

red Williams does not , that the tcacu
ngs of experience offer a safer guide fo
heir conduct than all the line spui
heorles ho may conjure up.
They know also that the price o

nnd wool was restored.
They know , what Mr. Williams doc
not want to know , that the mortgage

because Bryan lives In Nebraska am
not because the popocrats hold the for

ilence has boon re-established and bus ]

suranco that the man at the helm of th
national government Is neither a fre
trade theorist nor a free silver di

For all these reasons the sophistrio

the voters of Nebraska than had th

them In excellent condition plenty o ;
clothes , food and bedding for the Inmates
How Is It today with the poor unfortunate
Inmates ? In their great desire to create :
record for economy the managers of these
Institutions have practiced downright cru
elty on the unfortunate Inmates In depriv
ing them of necessary comforts. The fare
furnished Is as scanty as can be and sus
tain life , clothes are thin and worn and foi
bed clothes a single blanket must suffice.
The taxpayers of the state do not want
"savings" at the expense of these unfor
tunates.
Norfolk Journal ( rep. ) : The people of No-
brnskn will elect Judge JacJ.son attorney
general because they want a man in that
position \vliu nt least will know how to get
n rase Into court. Judge Jackson , unlike
his opponent. Isn't very particular about the
curl of his moustache , the fit of his coater
or the extent to which his cuffs show below
his coatsleeves , and doesn't care a conti
nental whether the women mlmlro his
graceful figure us ho arises to address the
court , but ho tries a lawsuit for all U Is
worth nnd generally wins.
Beatrice Express ( rep. ) : Republicans are
endeavoring to win votes in this campaign
by force of argument and by culling atten
tion to the merits of thulr candidates mid
the advantages and Justice of their cause.
The enemy Is pursuing a directly contrary
course. Abuse and misrepresentation havu
been freely Indulged In from the outset nnd ,
ns election day approaches , till the old mud
batteries are being opened. Republicans nro
doing the very wisest thing ; they are paying
no attention to the deluge of abuse , and so
It falls harmless. It takes two parties to
make a quarrel and , as the republicans re
fuse to engage In a squabble , thu squabble
Is tottering In a lop-sided way.
Hastings Tribune ( rep. ) : If It Is true
that thu son of Senator Sykes quit his Job
at the Hastings nsylum because the officials
of that Institution attempted to compel him
to pay over to a committee a certain amount
of money every month for the purpose of
raising a campaign fund then the young
man should go to his pater and demand
that the great "reform" party be reformed
and that the work should bo commenced at
homo. The populist party Is corrupt and
therefore Its followers Judge the republican
party to be In the same nx. Its leaders
split their throats yelling "reform" when If
the mask were removed and their true char
acter revealed the common members of the
popullsb party would shrink from them and
hold up their hands In holy horror.

Fremont Tribune ( rep. ) : Candidate Hitch
cock of Omaha Is the only one of the Iflt of
the fuslonlsts In Nebraska who Is forcing
the silver question > ln this campaign. Per
haps he Is shrewder than the rest , but we
doubt it , with reference to this particular
question. Candidate Hitchcock Is only sit
ting up with the corpse.
Arlington Times : The voters of the Second
end congressional district will no doubt re
member that three years ago G. M. Hitch
cock sold out two columns of the World-
Herald to the republicans. Wouldn't It bo
dangerous to send such a man to congress ,
for fear that he might sell out , body and
soul ? Stand by honest Dave Mercer , who
has been tried and found true to his con
stituency ,
Kearney Hub ( rep. ) : When the congress
man with the silver tongue falls to arouse
enthusiasm or oven Interest among the pop
ulists there Is certainly a screw loose In the
old machine. It was a frost that Congress
man Greene encountered at Broken Bow last
week , right at the home of the governor nnd
the former abiding place of Kem , and In the
very center of the moat rantankcrous popu
list population In the state. But It Is true
as ft Is saddening to Congressman Greene.
Ho tries to account for It , but he can't do
It. The people are not with him this time
nnd ho continues to wonder why.
Tobias Gazette ( rep. ) : One of the cleanest
campaigns ever put up by auy candidate Is
being made by Hon. B. H. Hlnshaw. Ho
abuses no one. In all his talks or speeches
his arguments are convincing. His appeals
are to men's reason and his deductions are
based upon facts and not fancy. Ho does
not wish to mislead or cover up but to make
plain. The course that ho la pursuing wins
him friends every day and he will go out of
this congressional district with a good ma
jority of the votes.

Royal Baking Powder Company.
This highly refined , pure cream of tartar the
product of the healthful grape is the material from
which a pure and healthful baking powder must be
made. More expensive , of course , than other ingre
dients frequently used , but being healthful itself it adds
healthfulness to the food instead of degrading it as do
the baking powders that are degraded in quality to
meet a degraded price.
The celebrated Royal Baking Powder is made of
highly refined , pure and healthful cream of tartar.
Its great qualities have made it famous in every

of all baking preparations bv all good cooks and up-
