The nerve of those Wyoming state
s~tealers is beautiful to behold. Gov.
Osborne, with an %undisputed majority
of 300, had hardly taken his seat be-
fore the thieves asked the county at
torney to prosecute him for %usurpation
of Office. The attorney very properly
refused to take part in the conspiracy.
The next movement is not known but it
would surprise nobody if the conspira-
tors request all democrats to leave the
state until the affair ia settled"

BUILDINGS FoH rnENEw STATES


BUILDINGS FOR THE NEW STATES.
The depleted condition of the federal
treasury, which makes a new loan or an
extraordinary revenue necessary, will
work peculiar hardship to the new
states whioheare entitled to, and never
have had, such appropriations from the
government MS older states haye en-
joyed. Hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars are needed Immediately to complete
surveys of public lands; each of the new
states needs two or more public build
ings and is entitled to them from every
consideration of public need and gov
ernmental economy. Yet the probabili-
ties are that congress will refuse appro-
%priations for these purposes rather than
be forced into borrowing money. The
Northwestern Architect says: "Un-
doubtedly one of the first items to sug-
gest itself as capable of retrenchment
will be the construction of public build
ings, and we may be prepared to see
much less activity in that line in the
near future. While reduced expendi-
ture in this line is to be deplored In that
a large number Of worthy people now
working on these buildings will be
obliged, In the event of disseminating
the work, to seek employment elsewhere:
there will be some gain to good govern
ment if a good many of the spoilsmen
who are now kept in hiding on good sal
aries about these buildings are dis
charged"
Unquestionably millions OF dollars
have been squandered in this way.
Buildings have been badly designed and
wa~stefully constructed, and appropria-
tions voted to towns where the needs of
the public service did not demand the
erection of buildings. Abuses of this
sort should be corrected and the expen-
ditures carefully pruned. The appro-
priatio 81 for the larger buildings that
are already under way could also be
made smaller for a year or two. But
congress does owe it to itself, and to the
rapidly growing new states, to give each
of them at least one new building this
winter. This can and should be done,
even if appropriations for some of the
older states have to wait.
The committee on public buildings
and grounds, at the first session of the
present house, agreed to recommend one
appropriation for each of the new states
if any bills were taken up. Those bills
are o on the house calendar ready to
be acted upon. The total amour, they
call for is not large and congress can af-
ford to make them an exception in en-
tering upon a policy of retrenchment in
the directima indicated.
We trust tbs representatives from the
new states will. stand together for their
common interest and see that these bills
become laws.

There should be an independent club
organized in every village and in every
precinct in Nebraska. Our political
enemies are organizing wherever they
can. Let us profit by their example. If
the independents will put forth the
proper effort they can form an organi-
cation throughout the state beside of
which anything the republicans can
organize will be puny and Insignificant
The state committee has prepared con-
situations and all necessary papers and
blanks for organizing these clubs.
These can be secured by addressing c.
Fl. Pirtle, Lincoln.
If it is not done sooner, good time
to organize these clubs all over the
state will be on the day of the prima-
ries. When the voters are assembled in
their primary, and have voiced their
wishes, let them organize the machin-
cry which will make their voice heard
in the land. Organization is the key to
the situation. Organize, organize, or

entific Method Of Taxation.
Ii the necessary expenditures of the
government are to continue to be pro-
vided for by duties on imports, no well
informed person of any party can
justly claim that the present schedule
can be materially reduced. The Nc
Kinley bill provided for about all
the reduction that can be made
and the necessary revenues of the
government be maintained. This fact
was recognized by the democratic
party in the famous Mills bill, which
proposed about the same reduction as
that actually effected by the Mckinley
bill. True, there was slight difference
in the details of the two bills, but so far
as either principle or results are actually
concerned, that difference is not mate
rial This pretense of an issue between
the republican and democratic parties
upon the tariff question is too trans

ly an agitation of dust to blind the eyes
of the people to other issues.

SILVER.

How Its FREQ Coinage Would Help the
Farmer as Well rs the Miner-Prices Rise
and Decline In Sympathy with Silver.
There seems to be quite diversity OF
opinion among the farmers in regard to
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Free coinage means that the govern
ment shall coin all silver brought to the
mint free of charge; unlimited means
that no restrictions shall be placed upon
the amount brought to the mint for
coinage.
Don't get alarmed; this was the law
from 1893 to 1878, and it is still the law
in regard to gold coinage. 1t is nota-
BILE fact that farm products rise and
fall as the prices of silver rises and falls.
Why is this?
Our rates of coinage are 16 to 1, or, in
other words, 16 grains of silver coined
equals in value one grain of gold. Our
silver dollar contains 3711 grains,
standard silver, worth, as bullion, about
20 cents.
We coin: 371I grains, 16 to 1, equals
in value 81 in gold.
3714 grains bullion equals in value
70 cents in gold.
In England, S71A grains, coined,
equals in value Us to y $1.O66 in gold;
