Somewhat Singular.

There is a remarkable similarity between
house roll No. 2jl and senate file No. 2l0,
both of which passed and became laws at
the recent sitting of the Nebraska legisla-
ture. The bills refer to elections, citing the
state, county and township officers to be
elections of the even and odd years, alter
mating. The two bills differ in this, only:
At elections holden in the odd years senate
file No. 2l0 provides for the election of dis
trict attorney in districts composed of coun-
ties under township organization, while
house roll No. 251 does not. With the excep-
tion of the insertion of the provision for the
Office as stated, the language used in the for
nation Of the bills is precisely the same, and
it is reasonably certain that they were drafted
by one ana the same person. The only ex
planatlon given for the singularity is this:
Some legislator felt the necessity of a
specific law providing for the election of tho
different state, county and township officers
and drafted two bills, precisely the same Tex
cepting the injection cited), one OF which
was introduced in the senate and the other
in The house. When the rush came both were
hurried through without that attention that
ought TO characterize the work of deilbera'
tive bodies. So it is. Nebraska has two
operative laws, both of which were enacted
for the same purpose.

ties Of business forced him TO cut his ac

TOO MUCH CLEFELAND.


The attention republican papers give
to every public movement and utterance
of Mr.. Cleveland is doing more than
any other agency or influence to keep
him prominent in the public mind as
the possible candidate of his party in
1892. Ever since his reti rement to pri-
vate life the ardent friends OF the ex-
president, and unquestionably he has
many such, have lost no opportunity to
parade him before the public eye and
fix upon him the popular attention, all
undoubtedly with the hearty and cheer
ful concurrence of Mr.. Cleveland. There
can be no fault properly found
with this. 1t is a privilege which
the friends and admirers of the ex-
president have the unquestionable right
to exercise to the full extent of their
pleasure. But republican newspapers
are not called upon to assist in holding
Mr.. Cleveland up to the popular view
by giving to everything that emanates
from him an amount of consideration
out of all proportion TO its Importance.
Last Monday night democratic club
in New York City gave banquet in
honor of Mr.. Cleveland at which he
made speech. II was by no means a

The officials Wont Talk

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Profting by recent
events at Samoa, when the treasure of the
wrecked Trenton was recovered by means of
diving apparatus. the navy department has
determined to equip each of the naval vessels
with a complete diving apparatus. The state
department officials absolutely refuse to dis
cuss the Samoan conference or Behring sea
tanglc. or the former they admit matters
are IN such shape as to warrant the expec-
tation of the conclusion of the con-
ference, comparatively unimportant de-
tails only remaining to be ad-
justed. But upon the provisions
of the treaty. if treaty has yet been drawn
up they decline to talk. So far as can be
learned there is no new phase in the Behring
sea matter. The presidents proclamation
appears to have closed the history of the
case and it can not be learned that there has
been any correspondence between the gov
ernments of the United States and Great
Britain on the subject.

About three hundred colored people were in

The lost cause evidently is still in healthy

cerned. One Anthony White delivered the
address there on Decoration day. Here is
what the Charleston News and Courier says
about il.
"There was 90 fawning upon the restored
union, nor vain regrets for the past. Mr..
White took high ground, comparing our
struggle for right and liberty with the MEM
orable contests running through ancient

strongly the Importance OF reliable historic
accounts of the war, anu called upon his
hearers to perform the sacred duty to the
memory of our fallen braves of keeping

ing generation. MIR. White contended that
our struggle had not been in VAIN, and that
the principles for which we fought were i'm

SIMPLY AN OLD LIE.
Patrick Egan Denies the Story About
the Land League Funds.


NEW YoRK, May 31.-IS Special Telegram to
to The BEE. Patrick Egan, President
Harrson's minister to Chill, who is stopping
at the Gilsey house, denies the story of Nor
timer Scanlan, the Chicago criminal court
bailiff, and Patrick Cavanagh, as communi-
Gated in aconference at Chicago TO the states
attorney. This story is that Egan who was
then treasurer of the land league and in
Paris, was appealed to by Alex Su llivan for
sl0O, ,0J0 of the land league money to forward
the physical force work of the Clan-na-
Gael, and that he yielded and paid over the
money after Patrick j. Sheridan had come
from Ireland and advised him to do so. Sui
livan, IL ia alleged, turned over of this
only $4,000 to the Clan-na-Gael OF Chicago,
and deposited the other So2 900 in the
Traders bank in Chicago to Sulliyan's per
sonal account.
MIR. Egan said: "The story of my giving
SlOO 600 TO Alexander Sullivan in Paris first
appeared In print about three years ago. II
was shown to be false then. Every dollar OF
funds for the land league has been accounted
for The story has since appeared in varied

RHODE ISLAND will follow in the
wake of New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania in submitting pro-
hibition amendment. Prohibition has
been in vogue in the state for several
years, but it has merely intensified the
desire for its repeal. The late election
for members of the legislature resulted
III the election of Il large majority in
favor of resubmission. The legislature
meets next week, and both parties have
agreed to rush the bill through so as to
enable the voters to reach decision
before adjournment. The election will
probably be held the last week in June.
and there is every indication that the
result will be the defeat of prohibition.

1929 Il STREET.

LINCOLN, May 81.
The downtown worm" has little idea
how Lincoln is improving on the outskirts.
But the fact exists, just the same, that Lin
coin is growing very rapidly. A drive
through East Lincoln, and on to the Wes-
leyan university, will convince any one that
Lincoln is fast becoming city of houses IL
not of people, and 1t Is reasonably certain
that were the census taken to-day, the sur
prise would be general as to the number Of
her inhabitants Boomers of University
Place are evidently bent on uniting the city
with the village at an early date This is not
only possible but probable. But little more
than half mile of prairie, undotted by evil
dences of habitation, now separates the two
places. It is well to note, also, that Bethany
| Heights is beginning to show evidences of
| life and enterprise. A lumber yard has
been established there, and two or
three new cottages have reared their
heads, and the legend "for rent"
| uously. Work in the university moves apace,
| and the third story will soon be up. One city
| extending four miles to the east and north
| east is the word, and it seems as though
| few short years would bring about this reali-
cation. prominent contractor and builder
says that over one thousand dwelling houses
| are now going up within the corporation of
the city proNer, not considering the score or
more now well under way at University
Place, and that as many more will be built
and finished before the close of the season.
This statement may be considered somewhat
overdrawn, but it will not be thought so after
a tour of the city The fact is noteworthy,
also, that the dwellings gong up in all parts
of the city are of the better class. There are
comparatively few of less than five rooms,
and large number that are palatial in a
way. The word boom does not fit the growth
and prosperity of Lincoln at this time. Real
estate is not changing hands with marvellous
rapidity. Ii seems that owners are simply
improving what they have, and this work
promises to be continuous for long time to
come. Although the suburbs are booming,
as much can hardly be said of down town.
Paving on the streets and alleys is going on
at snail's pace. There is no life to the
work, and it would seem that the contractors
propose to fight it out on this line though it
takes all summer.
