fFrom Staff Correspondent.)
LISCOLN, April 18. (Sp'c'a!.) The quea
tlon of whether or not the governor has
authority to appoint a Board of rire and
Police Commlasioners for the cltv of Omaha
again argued and submitted to the eu
preroe court thli afternoon. The contest
ing attorneys consumed nearly the entire
tlmo of the afternoon amnion In their pres
entation of the case. C. C. Wright, the re
lator In the application for a writ of man
damua against the governor, appeared In
his own behalf and was assisted In the ar
gument by Frank T. Ranaom and William
F. Ourley. The governor waa represented
by Norrlt Brown, while on the rami fide
of the controversy appeared Ed Bmlth as
attorney for' a member of the present
board.
In legal terms the IssuO argued th'a aft
ernoon waa one of res adjudlcata. It te ug
asserted by the attorneys for the governor
that If the right of the chief eierutlve to
make the appointments was adjudicated In
the Moo res case. It must necessarily fol
low that the right of the respondent to
make appointments waa likewise adjudi
cated. "la this court going to play fast and loose
with this respondent?" the attorncr for a
member of the present board asked. "Is It
going to say to Oovernor Poynter, you can
' not appoint members of the Fire and Pollcs
Commission for the city of Omaha and deny
to his appointees the right to the offlcrvln
queatlon, and then Issue a writ command
ing Oovernor Savage, the respondent, to
make such appointments? Will this court
Iskue Ita writ today, commanding this re
spondent to make appointments and tomor
row, when the order has been obeyed, deny
to the appointees the right to the offices
In question? If the judgment In the case
of Moorea was binding on the state and gov
ernor In the subsequent action of the state
ex rel against Kennedy, would It not be
clearly binding upon any appointments this
respondent might make?"
Leads to Abaardlty.
Continuing, the argument was advanced
that it would be the consummation of ab
turdlty to deny the right of the governor's
appointees to the office in question, as was
denied to them In the Kennedy case, and
now, on the application pf the relator, com
pel the respondent to again do the act
which In the Moores case tbs court deter
mined waa of no validity end conferred no
rights 'to the persona to whom the commis
sions were Issued.
"But It la argued that this court In a
'recent opinion In the Redell case has re
fused to follow the rule of law laid down lu
the Moores case." added the attorneys.
'Such Is no doubt true, but that Is not
equivalent to reveralng, vacating or mod
ifying the Judgment in the Moores case.
Is It possible that by reversing a rule of
lew or refusing to follow a rule of law an
nounced In some prior decision that there
by rights which were settled in that lltlaa
tlon become unsettled? Volume U of the
Nebraska reports contains six pages show
Ing a table of overruled cases. Does the
overruling of those cases have any effect
whatever upon the rlghta of persons set
lied by those cases which were subsequently
overruled? There can be but one answer
to such a proposition. The fact that the
constitutionality of a statute waa In quea
tlon doea not alter the rule. The (act that
the Judgment In the cases of the State ex
rel against Moores and State ex rel acalnst
Kennedy wera entered In quo warranto pro
ceedings and the further fact that this la
an application for a mandamus does not
alter the rule."
In closing It was said: "The court has
'twlca solemnly declared that the governor
of this state has no right under the act
of m to appoint members of the Fire and
Police Commission for the city of Omaha.
To now Issue the writ against this re
spondent to compel him to make such an
. polntments is to treat the former decisions
of this court as being without coherency
r consistency and will convert this forum
Into a theater of political atrlfe."
Savin- la State lastl tattona.
An examination of the records in tbs
auditor's office showa that the state In
stitutions have been maintained under the
republican administration at a coat of $90..
T7.09 less than the amount appropriated
by the legislature for the first year of tbs
blennlum.
If the second year presents the same re
eulta the saving In the two years will
amount to mora than $180,000. In other
vords. at the close of the two years' term
there will be a surplus In the funis of
nearly $200,000. this estimate being based
on the cost for the first year
There is every resaon for the belief, how
aver, that the sum will be even larger
than that. When the republican adminis
tration took charge nearly all. of the atate
Institutions were in a deplorable condition.
New beds and bedding, furnishings and
Ilk, material had to be purchased and
considerable money had to be expended for
Immediate repaira. All this expense, a
well aa bills amounting to several thou
aaad dollars that were contracted by the
fuslonlsts, are Included In the llrst year,
and yet there is a surplus of more than
ro.OOO In the first year's quota of tha ap
aroprlationa. Tha only expense required
during the second year will be for food,
clothing and salaries, so the cost the sec
ond year will likely be much lees than the
llrst.
Governor Savage and the Board of Pub
lic Lands and Buildings are gratified over
the showing made, for It Is much better
than was ever made by tha fuslonlsts and
that, too. In the fare of the fact that meat,
butter, eggs, potatoes and all provisions
wera much higher the last year than dur
ing the fusion administration. If not than
over before in the history of the state.
When the fualoolstq went out of power
the appropriations were all exhausted and
they left to their successor approximately
1140.000 In unpaid bills, for the payment of
which the legislature had to make de
ficiency appropriations.

amount appropriated, the amount expended

LINCOLN, April lS.WSpecial.) Follow
Ing la the weekly bulletin of the Nebraska
section of the climate and crop service of
the Weather bureau for the week ending
A?rll 14:
In this first Issue of the weekly climate
and crop bulletin for li2 a brief summary
of weather and crop conditions for the last
... anu nmicr is Riven io present a more
complete view of the crop conditions at the
opening of the season. Subsequent num
bers will contain a chart of precipitation
for the week ending Monday mornings and
a summary of conditions for each ounty,
as was done last year.
August The rainfall during August, 1901,
waa slightly below the normal, but the
ground waa generally in good condition for
seeding the last part of the month.
September The rainfall during Septem
ber waa very heavy, more than twice the
normal. This placed the ground In excel
lent condition for plowing and seeding. A
large acreage of winter wheat was sown
during the month.
October October waa also a very favor
able month for plowing, seeding and the
Kermlnal.on and growth of fall sown grain.
The temperature was high and the precipi
tation waa slightly above normal. Fall
aown grain germinated quickly and made a
strong, vigorous growth. Some early sown
Melds were pastured to prevent too rank
a growth. Sowing winter wheat continued
very late, some llelds being sown near the
end of the month A alight Increase In
acreage sown to winter wheat occurred
generally In the southeastern counties, snd
a very large increase In most of the coun
ties along the western and northern bor
ders of what has been called the winter
wheat belt. .
November-The precipitation was below
normal In most of the wheat belt. The
temperature was high and wheat contin
"fA to fT.ow wel1 throughout the month,
although In aome places more rain would
have been beneficial.
December The weather for December d d
not depart widely from that of an average
month, but the precipitation was slightly
deficient In the southern counties, where
winter wheat is sown. A sharp cold period
occurred during the second decade. How
ever, neither of these rather unfavorable
conditions materially damaged the what
Saow Helps Oat.
January The first three weeks were very
dry. with high temperatures, but no severe
winds occurred to blow the soil badly dur
l"rlod A general snowstorm on
th 2i.th was sufficient to make the pre
cipitation for the month equal to the
normal and to cover the ground nicely,
except In a few placea where there was
enough wind to drift the snow. Generally
tho snow remained quite evenly on the
ground and protected the wheat well from
the lew temperatures which followed the
last of January and the first part of Febru
ary. February The wheat fielda were gen
erally well covered with snow during the
first twenty days of the month. The snow
melted during the last ten days, and the
ground was free from snow at the end of
the month, with the ground moist and
wheat generally in good condition.
Slight Damage to Wheat.
March The month was drv and warm,
writh-several days of-very high winds. The
temperature was above normal almost con
tinuously, except for the cold period from
the 15th to the 18th, during which It was
from W to 25 degrees below normal. These
temperatuie conditions allowed spring work
to commence unusually ear! v. Although
the rainfall of the month waa light, the
soil had generally sufficient moUture to
keep It in good condition for plowing and
seeding. In the southern counties consider
able land was sown to oats during the
month, and a few potatoes planted. Borne
spring wheat was sown in western count es.
Th dry weather and high winds were
rather unfavorable for winter wheat. How
ewer, (he raina In the western portion of
the winter wheat belt the last part of the
month were very beneficial and placed the
wheat In exceptionally good condition.
Some slight damage from Insects Is re
ported from Custer, Dawson and Buffalo
counties. In the southeastern portion of
the state the wheat is still looking well
generally, but the unfavorable weather
conditions of the month have damaged it
aomewhat.
Progress af Spring Work.
First Half of April The 'first half of
April has been cold, with leas than the
normal yrvuiplta Uuu, la the western part
of the state the rainfall hna he on hut
slightly below normal and the moisture
has been sufficient .for crop needs. In the
eastern part of the state the rainfall has
been very light and the deficiency for the
two weeks generally exceeds an Inch,
while the rainfall in the greater part of
the eaatern portion of the state has been
less than a quarter of an Inch. The period
has been an excellent one for the advance
ment of spring work. The ground has
sufficient moisture to be In good condition
for plowing and seeding. Oats are about
all sown In the central and southern coun
ties. The earlv sown are m. nii'elv In
most places, but the dry, cold weather has
been rather unfavorable, causing oats to
come up slowly und In some places some
what unevenly. In the northern counties
spring wheat seeding in well advanced Hnd
oat sowing is in progress.
l'lowlng for corn has commenced and in
southern counties considerable progrea
has been made. A very few in the south
ern; counties have commenced planting
corn, l'otato planting has progresxed
nicely.
Paatnrage la Backward.
Grass and fall sown grain have grown
slowly. Pasturage Is poor and backward
for the season of the year. Winter wheat
is In excellent condition in the western
part of the state, where the moisture has
been sufficient, with the exception of the
fields damiged by insects. A species of
cut worm has done considerable damage
In some of the western counties. In the
eastern rounttes wheat generally looks
well, although some fields have been dam
aged by the unfavorable weather condi
tions or this spring. A few wheat fields
have been plowed up In Nuckolls and Clay
counties that the ground may be used for
other crops. However, the damage to the
wheat crop in other districts In generally
slight. Q. A. LOVELAND.
