together In unity." for there Is Indication
that every man carries a club concealed
about Jits person ready at any kind of a
provocation to use It in defenso of any
of tho peculiar principles which ho is ad
vocating, or against those advocated by
the other fellow.
George W. Bcrge started tho thing going

ernor and preparing, a club which he has
slnco found was not hard enough, and has
come out with another assailing tho ex
travagance of the state government, pres
ent and past.
Colonel John G. Maher followed suit
a couplo of weeks ago and threw a few
shots at King William and Prince
Charlie and their cohorts. Then he went
off on a matrlmnlal tour from which
he ctuned yesteday, and states today
that ho will have some statements for
the public tomorrow.
Prince Charllo Bryan yesterday took
a shot at Governor Morehcad, in which
he said ho was "surprised" to learn that

Qoverno Morehead said that he had
discovered that the cost of running the
state had Increased in the last twenty
years Just as tho cost of living had In
creased for every family In tho state, and
said It was only necessary to look Into
the matter to find where our money was
going.
"Out f every $100 paid in taxe in Ne
braska," said the governor, J6G goes for
educational purpose." He said that ho
had paid his taxes last week, and dis
covered that on one piece of property
on which the taxes were fS". that $50
of It was for school purpose." He said
that only about Jl of the $10 paid by
the taxpayer who was grumbling about
expenses went to the state treasury, the
rest depending upon the needs of th
county and school districts as fixed by
the local boards.
