r-f the state of Nebrsska will cfm to be I
coveted by co many ambitious politicians I
and would-be office holders. The office In
question la the clerkship of the supreme
court. Inatesd of paying an annual Income I
of or t30.00 It, will drop to $2,500. I
The bill provides that the clerk of the
supreme court alvall return to the state all
fees arlalng front his office over and be-I
yond tl.oon, which la to be retained by I
that official. This, with the $1,600 which
he annually receives aa atate librarian,
will make hi total, salary 12,600, the same
the invtrnor. Voder the nreaent law
the clerk of the aupreme court may re.
tain all fcea artelng from his office and
there la no lw on the statute books which
requlrs him to keep a record for the stats
ahowlng the amount of those fees. It Is
generally and commonly admitted that this
office yields all the wsy from $20,000 to
$30,000 annually In feea. A atate officer
was today asked what. In hla Judgment,
was tliei amount of the aonual Income from
this office,. and replied that he thought

-Polities' In .More.
The present Incumbent of the office, Lee
Herdnfan of Omaha, Is a democrat. He
wss appointed by the democratic 'anpreine;
court for a term of four rears and his term.
tnererore, expires within about ten montos,
when Jfidge Sulllvad'a term expires. If a
democrat Is elected again the court' would
still remain democratic, In which case an
other democratic, clerk would naturally b.a
appointed1! but If, aa the probabilities are:,
Judge Sullivan la succeeded by a repub-
lien the majority of the court would be ;
republican and It la a safe venture to say I
that the clerk would be of the same party.

new found seal, this cold blooded, calcu
lattve, advisedly taken action was cot
prompted by a low motive.
He referred td the cost In lives and
money on account ot the race problem and.
addressing the republican side, called on
them to meet htm "upon tho same plane
of patriotism of race pride and of civil!
satlon and not to fall into the pitiful cess
pool of partisan politics."
The people ot the north bad no more use
for the negro at close quarters than he
had. .He cited Instances of assaults by
negroes on white women and declared that
the more the northern people found out
about the negro the less use they had for
him. .
The ballot ot the negro was a menace to
good government , and. - the people of the
north were coming to realize that the en
franchlsement bordered on a .crime.
Reverting to the president's utterance
that he waa unwilling o shut the door ot
hope and opportunity'. In the ease of a
worthy and competent' colored man, ; Mr.
Tillman said at' first blush there Is not' a
man alive who would not agree with that
sentiment, but, he Inquired, If It ever1 oc
curred to anyone that tn opening the door
of hope It might 'not be shut in the face
of the white man. The door of hope In
South Carolina at one time had been
closed by bayonets to the white, for eight
years, while rapine, , murder and mlagov
ernment ran riot, --with 'an abomination In
the sight of map presiding over the state.
. He declared that he did not hate the
negro and that: art negroes were not bad;
only a small percentage were bad, and
these, he said were leading the rest and
being patted on the back by politicians.
Oppose Rare Kquallty '
He regarded It as bis duty to bis state
to stand forever opposed to any Ideaof
political or social equality on tne part ot the
negro with the whites.-
The purpose ot those who endorse the
president's door of hope policy," he vehe
mently declared. Is that In time Soutn
Carolina should become a state ot mulat
toes," and In this event he -predicted that
there would be more bloodshed than' was
ever shed before.
"I beg you, for God's sake,".. he said,
faolng ths republican side, "not 4fi produce
an acute stage ot hatred which' will bring
the two races together with the resolve
ot the whites to die Id order to retsln their
supremacy."
Mr. Tillman poked fun at Mr. Hanna and

read the title of the Mil he recently Intro

said he. "did Mr. Hanna mean that, or, Is
It a political dodge?''
The effect of the bill was. he declared, to
give opportunity to Unscrupulous negroes to
bamboozle and deceive their people by se
curing subscriptions Ostensibly to further
the Interests of the bill.
He concluded by saying that "in propor
tion as you arouse false hopes in the minds
of these people, you are only sowing the
wind which will flame tip Into a whirlwind
Ister on."
Mr. Tillman spoke for three hours. He
wss followed by Mr. Carmack (Tenn ), who
said the action of the president In the In
dlanola case wss not In accord with reason,
Justice or the constitution.
At the conclusion of Mr. Carmack's
speech, on motion of Mr. Cullom (111.). It
was agreed that hereafter Unless ordered
the senate shall meet at 11.
The senate then, at 6:5.'.. went Into ex
ecutive session and at 6 adjourned.
HOUSE GIVES ISLANDS CASH
Decides to Accept Senate Bill Bather
.Than Delay Settlement of -Csrreaey
4aeitlon.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. The house to
day passed the Philippine ' currency bill,
accepting the senate bill so far as it re-,
latee to the Islands. The .committee
amendment striking out the International
monetary conference was agreed to.
The contested election of Wagoner
against Butler was under consideration for
time and the democrats began a filibuster
which they threaten to continue If the case.
be pressed. The case was withdrawn with
an agreement . that It Is not to come up
until Thursday.
Mr. Cooper (Wis.), In explaining the
Philippine currency bill, read a cable from
Governor Taft, saying that the failure ot
Philippine currency legislation would
create consternation In the islands.
Mr. Jones (Va.) appealed to the members
who voted for the house bill extending the
American coinage system to the Islands
snd stand by' tbetr former action.
Mr. Hill (Conn.), who supported the.
proposition for American currency In the
original debate, snid he would continue to
stand by his former position If It were not
co late In the session. As It was. It was
'temporary" purgatory for the Philippines
or eternal damnation for the United States,
and he should support the senate bill.
Mr. McCall (Mass.) took the position that
the maintenance of tho gold standard
should rest upon the shoulders of the
United States, not upon those of a weak
government In the Philippines,, aa proposed
by the senate.
The two 'amendments recommended by
the house committee were agreed to and
the vote wss then taken upon the adoption
of .tho senate substitute, as amended. It
was" agreed to, 1S6 to 100.
Mr. Olmsted, chairman of the committee
on elections No. , presented the report In
the contested eleotlon case of Wagoner
against Butler from the Twelfth Missouri
district, in favor of seating the contestant.
Mr. Feeley (HI.), a member of the com
mittee, adopted the unusual course of de
manding the reading of the report, and it
was accordingly read by the clerk.
When the reading had proceeded for ten
minute ' Mr. Underwood (Ala.) made the
point that no quarum was present. The
speaker was able to count only 155 members
In the hall, but after a call of the house a
quorum: appeared.
, When the reading had proceeded for more
th'ati' an hour further reading was - dis
pensed 'With.: The minority was given un
til tomorrow' nirht to file their' views'.' and
1 0'wai 'agreed that 'the' ease should "'not' bo T
carted 'up' tomorrow. ' " ' - ' -.' i w '
' Mr. Fowler (N.'J.) then moved that the
house go Into committee of the whole to
resume further consideration of the cur
rency bill and after some delay the motion
waa carried, 13 to 57. Mr. Prince (111.)
resumed his Speech begun on Saturday last.
On the conclusion of bis remarks the
house, at 5:15, adjourned.

public at this time regarding ,the negotia
tions. Some apprehension was expressed lest
the two Important treaties now pending In
the senate might not be ratified at the
present session owing to the legislative
tangle In the senate,, but the information
received today by the president makes him
more hopeful of a solution of the entire
legislative problem now confronting the
senate. It waa announced that the agree

A Prominent rolltlrlaa Is Convinced.
At a recent club dinner given Ty news
paper men at Washington tho conversation
turned upon the subject of testimonials
nd their value In newspaper advertising.
"I do not believe," said a prominent poli
tician who waa present, "that one news
paper testimonial in a hundred Is gen
uine." The owner of one of the largest n'sws- -
papers In the country was present and took
up the subject vigorously, finally agreeing
to let his opponent select any testimonial
In his psper snd wagering to establish Its
genuineness to the politician's satisfaction.
Quite by accident the case of Mr. Newton
K. Young of Tenhlngton, N. J., was se
lected. He had been completely cure-d of
case of hemorrhoids, or pile, by the use
of Pyramid Pile Cure. Tho politician wss
especially skeptical regarding this case..
as It waa alleged Mr. Young was a man
over eighty years of age and had been
cured of piles after fifty years of awful
suffering and when all other remedies had
failed. It was agreed that the polltlelnn
should write to Mr. Geo. W. Scarborough.
Fh. O., a prominent resident" of Penning
ton, and that the result ot the controversy
should rest upon bis reply. The follow
ing; wss Mr. Scarborough's answer: - "
"Dear Sir Mr. Newton K. Young of this
who has been a sufferer with piles for per-
who bad -been sufferer with piles for per
haps bait a century, has been completely
cured by 'the use of Pyramid File Cure. . I
felt especially Interested In the case, as If
wss upon my recommendation that Mr.
Young began the use of the remedy after
having used so many others. - Yours re
