1--WE make bold to say that we ore in
favor of legislature next winter
which will not, as did the last legisia-
ture, try to gain popularity by waging
a crusade against newspapers, and eS-
pecially country newspapers. In adj
dition to having tax lists and commits
siOners' proceedings published, we be-
lieVe that the legislature should enact
that the session laws should be printed
in every newspaper in the state. Many
of the states do this, in view of the
fact that the laws are like a sealed
book to very large majority of citi-
Zens, unless such publication is made
in the newspapers and thus made
known to everybody" And we would
further suggest that every newspaper
in Nebraska should exert its inf1uent e
with the candidates on this point a
newspaper is supposed to do an i'm
mense amount of flattery for men who
are sent to the legislature. and after
that is done we as friends are forgot
ten. The idea that a newspaper is to
be the supporter of principles and men
for fun, is fast dying out. We hold
that a newspaper has just as good a
right to ask fee from those they sup
port for Office as an attorney has the
right to a fee from his client. Poll
ticianS have more reason to feel depen-
dent upon the press than the press has
reason or a right TO feed dependent up
on them. A newspaper is the poorest
paid institution in this country, and
yet does more real work for the giowth
OF the country than any other known
medium. While the Pioneer reserves
all right to Independence and freedom
of speech, and has exeTted that right
at all times, yet our experience is that
those who are under obligations to the
newspaper as a class are very uagIate-
flu, and more especially those who
make our laws. Nebraska can better
afford to support journalism n good
shape, as the Journal suggests, than
any other class of professional men it
has outside of teachers. Let this be
made an issue this fall among our
brethren, and let the influence be felt.

A cow-Soy's Outfit.

A correspondent of a New York pii-
ne. who journeyed across the great
staked plains of Texas with a comp:sn-
ion, decked out in the costume of a
cowboy. describes their drecS as fol-
lows: Either wear a whitish felt hat.
vast OF brim, and with Il neatly-rolled
red handkerchief tied around the min
ute proportion of crown; a blue
WOODEN shirt, also surmOunted in the
region OF the neck with a red kerchief:
calfskin leggings, trimmed with leath-
CT fringe, and buttons adown the outer
seams; spurs fierceiy long in the Towel
and given to jingling bravely. two belts,
holding in their loops one hundred
rounds of cartridges, half for the revol-
yer suspended from one of the belts
and half for repeating carbine. In ad-
ditiOn to these accOuterments are a
formidable looking knife TO be used,
however, for the innocent purpose of
butcherinG game or cutting pork, and
a leathern quirt hanging from the
wearerS wrist. The owner of this ON
inous linery, rides tough, square built
chunk Of a pony, which at times eYinc-
es a morbid desire to send his rider fly
ing through the sky. The saddle on
the pony is a well-housed "dOubIe-riG-
ged," one, made, as shown by the
quantity of leather used. with an eye
to the encouragement of the trade in
that staple. Slung from the high horn
and the cantel of the saddle is a gum
sheath containing a Winchester car
bine. and also attached to the HON are
Il coil of rope, and a water canteen. a
pair Of Saddle-bags lie across the seat.
At the back of the saddle are tied coat

Milk for Poultry.

From the American Agriculturlst.
We have been trying milk Us poultry
food during the winter and We can
recommend it for this purpose. One
difference between winter and spring
laying is the absence of animal food in
winter. The milk supplies this and
is devoured eagerly. The skim and
butiermilk MAY lie kept standing in
the feeding-trough or with scalded
meal of various grains. Indidn meal
is a good ration once a day, but it
should be varied with oat or rye meal
and with whole wheat, buckwheat or
barley. In warm room with south
ern exposure and plenty of light there
is no difficulty in getting plenty of eggs
from early pullets when eggs are of
great market value. Later, when the
broods come off, milk Will he an excel
lent food for chickens, turkeys and all
kinds of young poultry, and will give
quite as good returns as when fed to
pigs.

His Own SURGEON.-That General
Sickles is alive to-day is due only to his
great presence of mind. When he fell
on the field of Gettysburg he tainted.
Recovering consciousness, but half
dazed. he found he was completely
away from the hope OF immediate help.
and that the blood was gushing from
his leg in jets, showing that an artery
was severed. Painfully raising himself
until lie found his handkerchief, he
tied it around the wound in such way
as to stop the flow, and, in order to Sc
cure additional tightness, ran his sword
handle under the handkerchief, and
with all his power twisted it around
and held it so until the surgeon came
on the battlefield. Like most persons,
he had read directions of what was nee
eSsary to be done in such emergencies.
but unlike most persons, he was cool
and collected enough to pat his reading
into practice, when the emergency
came.

RennhlicanS out West call Genrn

Republicans out West call Georgia a
Democratic IOwa.-Ne1o York Herald.
"Republicans out West" do nothing
of the kind. There is no comparison
between the conditions of the two
States. In Iowa a Democrat has as
much freedom to talk and vote as any
Republican. He is neither OStracised,
black-snaked, nor shot to death becdu~e
of his principles. To make Democracy
and the murderous practi, es of Geor-
giO respectable, certain Democrats have
used just the expression which The
Herald attributes 10 Republicans out
West" Iowa gives a great Republican
majority because its peOnle are free
and enlightened and aauiotic; Geor-
gia gives 4 great Democratic majority
because its people are neither. and
more especially because it is devoted
to ''the lost cause" and is TRYING in ev-
cry manner to nullify the results OF
the war-IRter OceGls.

The Prodigal Butler Home Again.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Some eighteen years ago young and
smart democratic spendthrift Of the
name of Benjamin Z. Butler gathered
all his political substance and decdrip-
ed into the far country of the republic
cans, where he wasted it in riotOasliy-
ing, to bis and their diScredit. And
when he had spent it all. just about tie
beginning of President Hayes admiliis-
tration, there arose mighty famine in
that land and he began to be in sore
POLITICAL So after various SWIM
iSh experiences in huskS with green
backs and the like, the notion occurred
20 him of returning to the democratic
homestead, waking the old man up and
telling him how hungry heis. which he
forthwith executed most piteOnsly at
Faneuil hall, in Boston, last Saturday
evening.
So far the parallel between General
Butler and another famous prOdigal is
pretty exact. Now it remains to be
seen how cordially the venerable demo-
cratic father will greet the famished
whether he viii kill fat
ted calf for him and give him a chance
at the family wardrobe. If he does. ii
will be fun 10 see the returned spend
thrift eating the tender-liOn and dress
ing up in the old mans best clothes,
while the elder sons who never have
transgreSsed these many years, have
not even a kid to make merry with
their friends But there is plausible
scriptural authority for the Generals
