BOYD IS GOVERNOR.
The Nebraska Contest Settled by
the Supreme Court.
THAYER MUST STEP DOWN AND OUT

The Decision of the Supreme Court
of Nebraska OverruIed, Justice
Field Alone Dissenting-TheA Anti
Lottery Law Declared Constitu-
tional.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The United
States supreme court, in an elaborate
opinion by Chief Justice Fuller, held
that James E. Boyd is citizen of the
United States and was citizen for two
years preceding his election as governor
of Nebraska, and that, consequently,
he is entitled to the office, and that John
M. Thayer, the hold over governor, who
denied the right of Boydto succeed him,
must give way. All the justices of the
court except Justice Field united in the
conclusion that the United States su-
preme court had jurisdiction of the case.
The Question at Issue.
The main question in the case, aud on
which the decision hinged, was whether
MIR. Boyd became Il citizen of the United
States without taking ont naturalization
papers, his father, British subject,
never having become fully naturalized,
NAett'ttoA ny NtNNitllCtl
to take out the necessary papers. The
elder Boyd came to this country from
Ireland when his so,a the plaintiff in
the present case, was "a mere child. They
settled in Ohio and the father gave
notice Of his intention to become citi-
zen. He failed, however, to become
naturalized. The son went to Nebraska
when it was a territory, and was one of
the foremost of those pioneers who de-
veloped it. He held several public
Offices, fought i'll the Union army during
the late war and was member of the
committee that framed the constitution
after it was admitted into the sisterhood
OF states.
No one questioned Mr.. Boyd's right to
vote and to exercise all the other privi-
legcs Of citizenship, and it was not until
alter he had served some time as gov
ernor of the state having been elected
on the Democratic ticket, that the ques-
tlon concerning his citizenship was
raised. A long controversy ensued as to
whether Boyd or the former governor,
Thayer, was entitled to the seat. The
case was finally carried TO the supreme
court of Nebraska, and the court decided
that Boyd, not being citizen, had not
been elected, and that Thayer should
hold Office until his successor had been
elected, This decision is reversed by the
federal supreme COurt

The Republicans are certainly in
a bad way. A few days ago, they
thought the proposition to hold a
constitutional convention had car
ried, and they begun to work a
scheme. They reasoned thus: The
Populists have captured the Offices,
and we can easily lay the blame OF
a constitutional convention on their
shoulders. Moreover, we'll tell the
people that the Populists are lot
If old soaks and buns, and are do
ing all they can to crush out prohl-
bition in Kansas. We'll induce the
police commissioners of all the cities
to resign, and then we'll have some
of our heelers open up saloons, and
well paint things red. That will
prove that the election Of the Peo-
PIES ticket was a great calamity to
Kansas, and we'll get back the Offices
next election. They begun to carry
out this program-even went so far
as to open up two saloons in Fort
Scott. They then published to the
world that the policy of the newly
elected state officers was to run sa-
looms wide open. 1t was grand
scheme-but the returns knocked it
out the proposition failed to carry.
Now, the Republicans don't know
lust what to do, but they have con-
cluded to make faces at the Prohlbl
ton party and say, 1--WE won't play
with you fellows any more" And
this comes with very poor grace
from party whose state committee
made bargain with the national
brewers association, whereby Sdiu
association was to pay large sum
of money into that party's campaign
fund. 1t comes with poor grace
from a party whose candidates use
whisky to secure an election. But,
pshaw why waste words on de-
caying corpse

IT has been the policy of the Dem
ocratic party to be so near like the
Republican party that change from
one to the other would be very easy
But this works both ways, and
leaves lack of sufficient induce
ment for change from Republican
ism to Democracy. We see this
fact illustrated in the large number
of Republicans who have joined the
Peoples party because the difference
was sufficient to induce a change in
comparison to the small number
which has gone over to the Demo
cratic party. Men do not change
their political allegiance lightly, nor
for trivial differences, but do change
when the inducement to do so is
sufficient Jefersonian Lawrence.

"There be three things" said the
great Lord Bacon "make nation
great and prosperous-a fertile soil,
busy workshops, and easy convey
ance for man and commodities from
one place to another.
The first and second of these re-
quisites the west possesses in great
abundance, and in abundance that,
so far as the "busy workshops" are
concerned, is continually increas-
ing. In the third it is sadly def
cient. The west and the south GER
tainly do not have "easy convey
ance for man and commodities from
one place to another"
The first and second of these req
uisites the great west possesses in
abundance, and in abundance that,
so far as the "busy workshops" are
concerned, is continually increasing.
In the third it is sadly deficient. The
west and the south certainly do not
have "easy conveyance for men and
commodities from one place to an
other"
They have trusted too much to
their railways, forgetful that rail
ways must be but receivers of trav-
ell that comes along innumerable
lines Of highways. Many farmer
who lives three miles from the near
est railway station spends more
time aud worries himself more in
reaching it than in travelling fifty
miles after he has reached it. 1t
often costs more to haul a load of
corn from the farm to the railway
than to carry it hundred miles af-
ter it is placed on the cars. 1t of
ten takes "a longer time to go for
and come back with letter or news
paper from the nearest postoi1ice
than it does for the missive to come
from it's starting place to the office.
Many a plow goes unrepaired,
many u needed piece of teamwork
goes undone through the long win

part Of the worry in getting ready
for spring time operations because
of the all but impossible roads be-
tween the farm and the store and
the shop. Country merchants lose
trade, farmers lose money by ina
bility to take advantage of tempo
rary rise OF fall in the price of pro-
duce because of roads upon which
nothing considerable can be hauled
through great part Of the year.
There are whole counties which
rain and frost rule with despotic au
thority. Rain converts the tracks
that are dignified by the name of
roads into impossible swamps; frost
hardens the mud into ridges and

OUR Democratic friends should
remember that the great majority of
the opposition to Republicanism in
Kansas this year favored the Omaha
platform. Hence, a man should be
elected to the United States senate
who will work in harmony with that
platform. Only Populist will do
that.

REPUBLICANS are talking Of get
ting the supreme court to enjoln the
secretary of state from issuing GER
tificates of election to ten Populist
senatorselect. The supreme court
is. or should be, above partisan
chicanery. If, however, it is not,
let it remember, before catering to
the desires of corrupt politicians,
that there is power in the state
higher than supreme courts, and a
power that will quietly set aside
any corrupt partisan decision of that
august tribunal.

hundreds of thousands, but by mil
lions yearly, and it is quite proba-
BILE that hundreds of millions would
be needed to express It,
1t is true that vigorous work, and
work that is as intelligent as it is
vigorous, should be done in remedy
of the evil conditions into which we
have fallen. Every road district
should have it's society for the i'm
provement of highways, every coun-
ty should have it's central committee
with which the district societies
can confer, and in every state should
have it's yearly convention of socie-
ties. The questions of drainage of
road beds, of the possibility of find
ing gravel, stone or other material
for construction, and of the cOmpar-
ative merits of roads built by pri-
vate corporations that can levy toll,
or by county taxes or by state aid,
should be carefully discussed.
The interest of the public in this
important matter should be stimulat-
ed by frequent communications to
the newspapers, both those of the
county seats, and those which have
a circulation co-extensive with the
domain of the Republic. During
the winter season farmers have
much enforced idleness; they can
employ part of to no better pur-
pose than in striving to organize a
movement for road improvement.

AFTER the wholesale use Of Doodle
and the colonization of voters by
Kansas Republicans, they should
not talk of dishonest elections.
There is something remarkable in
the fact that the people Of Kansas
were able to successfully resist Re-
publican corruption in Kansas this
year. We warn the Republicans
that all past-electon efforts to steal
the state will be just as successfully
and much more emphatically re-
sisted.

AGAIN we are reminded that Kan
sas is "a state of first things" by
the election of Col. VIM. A. Harris,

such a position.
