on the tariff reform and license

that Gov. Miller is an extreme pro.
tectionist and Il prohibitionist, and

And then again, when our people
were straining every nerve to get Il

the college prize, Miller, nor Dwight,
nor no one else Of this New York

Observance of sunday.

The Sunday question is up again for dis
cussiOn, having heen brought into promi-
nence chiefly by two events. Two weeks ago
several gentlemen Of Boston and others COM
posing the Massachusetts, sabbath Union sent
petition to the Legislature This document
protested against the preparation, printing.
publishing and sale If newspapers on Sund y
The reason advanced for the protest was that
no sufficient ground appears why the publica-
ton and sale OF newspapers should receive
discrimination from the State over any other
form of business on the first day OF the week
A few days ago action was taken by the
managers Of the Metropolitan Museum in
New York looking toward opening that treas
ure house OF art and curiOsities to the public
on Sunday. This has naturally awakened the
religious press, and secular papers are taking
a vigorous part in the discussion. Little that
is new or startling has been developed, and
the controversy Is much the same that it has
been for the past twenty-fv years.
Sunday observance. however is "a much a
problem as ever, and about as far rs ever
from satisfactory solution. The Mosaic in
junction TO Remember the Sabbath day 10
keep it holy" is recognized in all Christian
communities as binding upon mems con-
sciences. But the process Of drawing the

Governor Boyd. OF Nebraska. has met the

political sacrifice for what he believes TO be
right rather than pander 20 what seems 70 be
a popular sentiment
II is undoubtedly true that the railroad
corporations have taken advantage OF the
Nebraska farmers but. like all measures
which are intended 10 correct wrongs OF TINS
character. the maximum freght-rate bill was
most radical and conhscatory measure.
Should It become law. the greatest sufferers
in the end would be that class It IS intended
- benefit. and last. but not least. the leading
lawyers Of Nebraska were almost unit IN
prOnouncing the measure clearly unconstltu-
tonal.
Despite these objections 10 the bill II had
strong popular support. 4 large number on
the Democratic papers Of the state favored IL
ms a matter of party policy. They thought 10
would be good sop TO throw to the farmers.
and the latter had ind0rsed II in all Of their
gatherings. Governor Boyd might have
signed the bill and allowed it 10 60 10 the Su-
preme Court. but he chose the more manly
course and vetoed the measure because me he
lieyed It to be wrong Such an act az the
present time cannot fail 10 attract atten-
