1t may be true that Stout would

pears that Stout was the only man
who could see any money in it even

less It be the Secretary of State in re-
fusing to award the contract, as the
law provides, to the lowest bidder, so
that saving of thousands of dollars
to the state would have commenced
at once. Had the law been
promptly conformed to, to-day the
cost per head per day for keeping the
convicts would be going on at sixty
cents, but as the Secretary saw fit to
put his brogan down on the law, the

When the discussion of the peniten-
tiary bill first began, everybody &C.
quainted with Church Howe expected
to hear from him upon the subject, and
they are not doomed to disappoint-
ment. Church has been heard from.
He had simply taken the time neces-
sary to choose language with which to
properly point his moral an d adorn his
tail. For bis text he takes a single
verse in the gosple, according to Sec
retary Tzschuck, as follows: II don't
think the legislature ever understood
the full scope Of the contract" AS a
member of the senate committee on
state prison, Mr.. Howe begs the liber-
ty to differ with the learned secretary
and he states 1t as his belief that every
member of the legislature when he
voted understood fully as well as Mr..
Tzschuck does now what the bill con-
tanned. There was no question more
thoroughly discussed during the ses-
sion than that of the management of
the penitentiary. In devising this
law, he states that there were two OBJ
duce the expense of maintaining the
prisoners, and the other to provide Ia
Dor for them, and then propounds this
conundrum Which is serving Ne
braska best, q board that carry out the
law as they find 1t, and save the peo-
pie tens OF thousands of dollars every
year, or board that says-"The leg
islature did not know what they were
doing, and we don't propose to let
contractor make any money out of the
state, and 30 refuse to carry out the
law and let the state continue throw
ing away tens Of thousands Of dollars
every year? If there is one thing
more than another In this wide world
that Mr.. Howe is particularly anxious
for it Is to save money for the people
of this state. By this time every body
that, and we trust that the
secretary Will respond with character
istic alacrity. when the board obey
this law" in conclusion remarks the
gentleman from Nemaha, "they will
Ia my opinion carry out the !. .entions
ofevery member of the legislature who
helped to make the law. Reduce the
to the state of keeping our
convlcts from ninety to sixty cents
per day each-and treat them like hu-
man beings, and it matters little to the
people If the contractor makes q few
thousand dollars by the operation. n
reduction of one-third In the expense
of maintaining our state penitentIary
will be a very..good beginning these
hard times of reform and retrenoh-
ment. The people understand that

The idea of pressing Congressman
Foster Tor the Speakership Is revived
But there is no possibility of success.
The Democrats have the power iu
their own hands, and their policy is
TO keep all they have got and get all
they can.-&. Joe. Herald.
Nothing could be nearer the truth
than the remark that the Democrats
propose "to keep all they have and ge,
all they can." In this that party al
ways showed commendable economy.
The only thing we ever admired about
modern Democracy is It's certainty to
utilize every advantage gained over
the other party. If by strategy, coax
Ing, threats, or bowling about reform,
they succeed in getting Republicans
to compromise away principle for the
sake of reconciliation and harmony,
Democracy simply steps on to the
vantage ground and goes to work to
strengthen their party by the conces-
sion. perfectly Indifferent as to wheth-
er anything, or anybody, has been
reconciled or not. No true Republi-
can will! ever be elected speaker so
long as the Democrats have the power
TO prevent 1t. They have, by intImi-
dating the President, secured "solid
South; they know the North is al
ways divided, and now, all that is
necessary TO secure for themselves the
next President is "to keep ell they
have got." And Of course they've
"got" the speakership, and they will
very certainly appreciate the fact that
there is no good reason why they
should give IL away.

The latest religious wrinkle In Tor
onto is the holding of 'full-dress pray

a week at the homes of the Weather

guests come In full evening costume.
For about an hour the parlors are vo-
cal with prayer and praise, after which
cake and conversation are introduced.
The meetings are said to be exceed
ingly genteel.-Erehange.
What an abominable mockery Is a
J4N-dress prayer meeting. Yet the
idea Is obtaining everywhere, especi-
ally In cities, and the rich and the
poor are separated on account of their
clothes. We wouldn't touch one of
these: select, aristocratic, full
dress" church gatherings, such as ev-
en- zoe see sometimes, with forty foot
pole. Sensible people turn away from
such exhibitions of bypocricy and
mockery with scorn and disgust.
