Sound Conservative Advice.

Sound Conservative Advice.
Omaha Bee.
In most of the states legislatures will
assemble this month. These congresses
of the commonwealth which make up
the Union, while ordinarily receiving
little more than local attention, are
really entitled to great consideration.
since they represent more directly the
interests and wishes of the people Of
the several states, and in most respects
have more to do with shaping their wei
fare than the national congress has.
The trainers of the constitution Of the
United States left great deal to the
states. While that instrument was
most wisely framed to effect more
perfect union and to perpetuate repub-
lican form of government. it allowed
to the states large powers, to be eXer-
cised by the people through their legiS-
lative representatives. The making Of
provision for the public health, the reg
ulation of corporations deriving their
franchises from the state, the levying
of taxes for state, county and munlcl-
pal government, all matters OF public
Improvement within the state, and
many other things vital to the welfare
of the people were left to the deter
mination of the states and cannot be
interfered with by the national author
ity. Within the limitations prescribed
by the federal constitution the power of
the state legislatures is supreme. and in
the exercise of this power they exert
very great influence upon the general
welfare. 1t is of the first Importance,
therefore. that state legislation, affect
ing, as 1t does, most directly and inti-
mately the interests of the people,
should be based upon the WiseSt and
sOundest principles.
The legislatures of this year will meet
under circumstances that call for
more than ordinary exercise of wise,
conservative and patriotic statesman
ship. The conditions generally are not
prop;tiouS. There has been prolonged
depression that is not yet ended and
which has left the people, as whole,
poor. There is reason to believe, or at
ally rate to hope. that the termination
of this state of things is not far of, but
still th3 future is uncertain, and even
the most optimistic cannot feel entirely
sure that the clouds of depression
will be dissipated as soon as could
be wished. Under such circumstances
the first requirement is to observe pru-
dent economy in all public eXpendl
burdensome. and especially so at such
times as the present, shall not be in
creased, but. if possible, reduced. There
is hardly a state in which it is not prac-
ticable to curtail expenses without I'M
pairing the public service, and no legis-
lator who is unwilling TO do this is
friend of the peoples interests. 1t is
unquestionable that. taking all the states
together, many millions Of dollars are
annually wasted, the saving of which
would be material relief to the people.
The present is most suspicious time
to cut off the extravaganza and useless
eXpel government.

EUTHANASIA.

The other day John Kline, residen
of an Ohio town, went home from his
days labor in the jolIiest of moods,
discarded the apparel of toll and
d0nned that of comfort, sat down at his
freside in an easy chair, and put his
feet upon the mantel and exclaimed:
II never felt so we'll in my life !"-and
died. In so many of these cases of in-
Simultaneous lapsing from appare Mt
sound health unto death. the person
shortly before the fatal stroke has been
in extraordinary good spirits, aud felt
that eXhiaration of life Indicated by
the remark of Mr.. Kline. Recently
merchant in this city, apparently in the
full tide of robust health, expressed
himself as feeling unusually well, and
within few hours was corpse. An
other person, who the day before had
been full of unusual jollity and socla-
bility, was found dead in the bed in the
morning, having died some time during
the night.
We leave to the doctors the pathology
of this mysterious connection between
the enjoyment of an unusual flow of
animal spirits, usually the sure indica-
ton of exceptional good health, with
the imminence of death. 1t was proba-
bly, this that led the ancients to regard
these sudden deaths as indicating an
act of extreme favor to the deceased on
the part Of the gods. They thought
that the person who passed suddenly
from mirtb and JOY into death was eX-
ceptionaIly favored by the gods. Sud-
den deaths were regarded as happy
| ones. The exuberant spirit which pre-
| coded the stroke was taken to be the in
| spiration of the gods, making for the
person selected for their favor fitting
preparation for his end.
| Whether the philosophers of old agree
with the doctors of today in their pa.
! thology is ;mmateriaI: but looking at
the cases from the purely human stand
! point, divorced from the technique of
medical science, the advantage of the
two views is plainly with the anclents.
If today with us, with all our advance

ances for rendering more comfortable

| there comes both to the sick one and to
the family sense Of relief when the
long-drawn-out pain Of the last illness
ends in death, how much more reason
there was for those ancients, with their
ignorance of the healing arts, to regard
| that person as especially favored who
| was saved from the long struggle with
disease, and passed at once, in fash,

brun" Is a story that is sure to make an
impression upon the most jaded novel
reader.
The salient point of the story is the
resgscltation of a gallant Of the eight
teenth century. after a death sleep of a
hundred years.
This is not altogether novel, since we
have RIP Van Winkle," "Phra. the
Phenican," and the weird Egyptian
stories of Gautier and other French TO-
names. However. the effect produced
upon Percival Somerset, the 20 ung gen.
tleman who has been terminated by
Andrew Lebrun, and upon the other
characters of the story is. perhaps, new
to most of us.
The story is we'll told by an humble
friend Of Andrew LIE brun, London
clockmaker by trade and chemist by
choice and patient study. The thread
of the story is we'll handled, the char
situations natural when we have ac-
cepted the possibility of Somerset's sus-
pended animation and revival.
Andrew Lebrun is one of natures
noblemen, but his intense devotion to
science leads to neglect of the practical
side of life, and to the final tragedy Of
his life. Our interest in him and his
family of two motherless daughters is
kept fixed from beginning to end.
The moral tone of the book is health
full, despite the ghostly introdu cton of
Perclval Somerset; who though OF noble
birth and possessed of vast fortune,
proves an unmitigated BLACKBOARD.
Those who like a touch Of the Improba-
BILE, and story of which the turning
point is pure and unselfish devotion,
will find the subject of this review a
pleasant pastlme.

from life and health into death. No
wonder that, attaching the event to
their mythology, they regarded it as
special and favored dispensation OF their
gods, and that they gave to it the name
Of euthanasia the happy death.
Viewing death subtectively, as affect
| ing only the person dying, and leaving
out of consideration the feelings of the
| survivors, such sudden deaths are pref
cradle to those which come at the ter
mination of long, painful and weari-
some sickness. The prayer of the litany
to be preserved from sudden death is
the prayer of the survivors. Death is
always a shock to those who are left.
Come in whatever form it will, it always
comes peacefully to the dying one,
Some physician confirmed the result OF
his own extensive observation by CORES
spondence with numbers Of others that
there.a are no terrors to the dying. Out of
several hundred instances noted, either
by himself or other physicians, only two
occurred in which the dying person eX-
hIbited any fear or dread OF death. In
all other cases the person had gone to
death like one "who wraps the dra-
perry of his couch about him and lies
down to pleasant Dreams" No matter
how painful may have been the disease,
the face of the dead is rarely distorted,
but wears that placid, natural look OF
one in peaceful slumber.
Everything teaches US that the doc
trlne is fallacious that paints death with
horror and inculcates in the minds of
the young dread and fear of it. Even
as whip to drive men and women from
their worldliness its use is unjustitiable.
The right conduct which has no better
base than fear Of death Is insecurity
grounded against the first temptation
that assails it. Better to teach that
death is but the natural end OF life, com
ing sooner or later to all, not to be
| dreaded ON the one hand or sought on
the other, but to be met with cheerful
ness and trustfulness when it comes.

TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.

The Republican members of the
council are entitled to and should COM
mand the respect of their party for
their vote on the election of city printer.
They are Of sufficiently fine mould to
hold in loathing and contempt the
wretched parodies on manhood who de-
serted their colors and voted with the
enemy. Tue GLOBE commends the
vote of the Republican members, and it
does not blame the Dispatch for taking
what was given it by the action of the
traitors. But 1t does not and will not
forgive these creatures who have cast a
shadow Of shame on the Democratic
party. They should, and shall, he pur-
sued to the bitter end and relegated to
the Infamous obscurity of their former
lives.
