One important duty the coming
Nebraska legislature has to perform
will be to provide a new apportion-
ment of State representative and
senatorial districts. Under the new
constitution it is made the duty of
the legislature to take such action at
the first session after the taking of
the enumeration of the State. This
enumeration is taken every five
years, and will aid very much in
obtaining a fair representation in the
house and senate of the Nebraska
legislature.

ISpIcAT,oNs point'to a very excit-

INDICATIONS point to a very excit-
ing contest in this state before the
next legislature. We are inclined
to believe, as the republicans have
TO perform the work, that they will
do it with clean hands and pure bal
lots, and, as the subject of electing a
l.. S. Senator has heretofore occ1-
pied a great deal of time that should
have been devoted TO the legitimate
business of legislation, we suggest to
members disposiDg of the senatorial
question at once, and thus be enab-
led 10 devote the greater lert of the
session to legislation in the interest
of the citizens of the state. Politi-
clans usually, on such occasions,
want a good deal of time to present
the peculiar qualifications and fitness
of their candidate, and TO form cer-
tain alliances to bring about a favor
able result. Everybody should
understand at the outset that the
coming legislature is republican, and
is expected on all hands to do its
work openly and above board. No
dark tricks, no combinations, no
alliances and no corrupting influ-
ences to be used to accomplish dark
ends against the will of the people.
Those who make politics a trade
will learn, if they have not already
learned, that fair, square dealing,
truth and honesty are better wea-
pOns to use, even in politics, than
falsehoOd, forgery, subornation of
perjury and other corrupting infiu-
ences. The party or individuals of
party who resort to such things to
accomplish their wicked purpose do
not deserve, and should not be trust
ed TO perform the duties of the
smallest office in the gift of the peo-
pie. We hope to learn that the
coming legislature will perform the
important duty of electing L. S.
Senator at the earliest possible
moment in the session, and spend
the remainder of its short time in
legislating for the people.

SENATOR PADDOCK started for
Washington on the 9th ult., and
will probably not return until after
the Goth, when congress usually ad-
jOurns for the Holidays. His ab-
sence in the discharge of his official
duties at the seat of government,
will give his enemies an opportunity
TO put in some uncounted strokes
against him as his own successor,
but we suggest that the contest be
conducted with an eye single to
what the people of the State desire
in their representative at Washing
ton, and with that amenity and
thorough goodwill that should char
acterize brethren of the same poiti-
cal faith working for the best inter-
ests of the country. The republicans
of Nebraska should not initiate the
tactics of the Democratic National
Committee in the late contest, at
least in those things for which they
have been denounced by the COM
mon decency and the common hon.
esty of the country.

IT is understood that the demo-

OH the 4th Of next March on the ad-
mission of a senator from Ohio in
Garfield's place. IL will he claimed
that no senator can resign his seat
until he has taken the oath of Office
as senator, and thus delay the admis-
