TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
: all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

THE FIRST

The extension of tho charter Of the
First National bank of Omaha is an
event of Importance to our local fl.
~naucial interests. II is the oldest
bank in Nebraska organized under the
national banking act, having been
chartered on tho 1st of January, 1868,
twenty years ago. When 1t was first
organized 1t became the success r OF
kountze Brothers, nj of the oldest
banking hous, s in the then territory
of Nebraska. Edward Creighton was
its first president and Augustus
Kountze, now CT Now York, cashier.
The establishment by Mr.. Augustus
Kountze of the great banking house of
Kountzo Bros. in New York was fol-
lowed by the assumption of the presi-
dency by Mr.. Herman Kountzs, under
whose management the institution
has become n of the most soil I and
best known banking houses in the
country. The policy of the First Ma.
tional has always been a safe and con-
%serva'ive one, and during the panic
of 1873 it stood out as one of the few
institutions whose solvency was never
Questioned. Under the new banking
act its charter has been extended fol
twenty years, as may be seen by Con,
t%roller Kuox's certificate of extension,
which appears in another column.
Incidentally we may remark tina

TIE GOVERNORS INAUG.
HRAL

M
GOVERNOR DAWES inaugural is a
snort and flirly written document.
II does not cover q wide range of sub.
iacts, but on one or two o! the most
vital issues it is moro pronounced and
goes farther than VIC had been led to
expect from the nominee OF a conven.
ion which was VIGOROUSLY controlled
By railroad Influences. The governors
suGgestions as to the importance OF los
tering immigration and protecting and
di7ersifying our agricultural interests
will meet with general approval. His
views upon Gus educational system,
and the necessity # preventing the
jobbing in text books are sound. The
governor expresses greater confidence
in the ability Of a we'll organized
militia to suppress riots than we have
ever heard. Exp rieucs has shown
that the appearances Of q citizen soldier
in times # local trouble is more likely
to provoke breaches of the laws than
to suppris, them.
Tho state militia ought TO be fos.
tered, however, because every able
bodied young man in the state ought
to be taught to bear arms for the com
mon defnse, and to know how to use
them, and tho physical exercise re.
ceived by military training Is bsne-
fetal.
On the railroad question which is
recognized as the dominant issue of
the present, Governor Dawes has
taken a position in advance Of his pre-
decessors and gone q good deal farther
than was expected of him at the time
Of his nomination. Three months ago
he was not 80 strongly impressed with
the necessity Of protecting the public
against the aggression Of railroad
monopolies, and Of the iniquity of
passes. 1t is gratifying therefore that
he has planted himself abreast Of pub
Ito sentiment, although he ia very
cautious and rather fearful lest the
legislature will blunder into oppress.
ing the railroads.
In recommending a geological survey
for Nebraska the governor is trying
to encourage an oxpenslve scheme that
would tex tho treasury without bene-
fitting tho state. Nebraska 10 not q
mineral state like California, Color
ado, Missouri or Virginia. We all
know that neither gold, nor silver, nor
copper, nor any other metal will be
found in our q tato unless somebody
salts a mine. II coal does exist in
quantities worth mining, the best way
to encourage it's discovery is
ny OhSiluB u JULIUS. IuStb 10 III
ready a reward of $1,000 offered
by the state for the finding of a thirty
inch vein of coai. This Is a su fiji ,ient
incentive for boring holes in the
ground without taxing tho people for
experiments. The suggestion that
the legislature should pass laws to pro.
tectpeople from making fools of them.
by investing in bogus patent
and balloon schemes is unworthy
OF a place In q governors message.
There are already laws on our statute
books for the punishment of confidence
who procure money undar falge
pretensts. Our criminal code Is su a.
TO give all tho necessary protec-
ton.
Al We said before, tho inaugural is q
short aud businesElike document
which calls for no further comment,
aud taken all in all, will compare
{ Ivorably with other papers of a like
which have preceded 1t from
tbs executive office since Nebraska's
ad mission into the union.
