THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

Necessity for Adopting the Amendment
Enlarging the Supreme Court.
OF these there are twelve in number.
Provision has been made by statute S O
that a vote may be cast upon these
amendments as a whole or with refer
ence to each separately, The first
amendment on the official ballot is to
increase the number of supreme judges
of this state from three, its present
number, to five. The necessity for this
increase becomes clear when we reflect
that in the supreme court there are now
undisposed of 1875 cases and that the
very highest average rate at which
cases have heretofore been disposed of
is $50 per annum. To clear the docket
of pending cases would require the court
as at present constituted. to work more
than two years. The cases being COM
menced in the supreme court are at the
rate of 740 annually, SO that with a
clear docket to commence with it
would be impossible to dispose of cases
as fast as they are filed.
There is no danger that a majority of
those voters who vote upon this amend
ment will vote against it. An amend
ment to prevail must receive a majority
of all votes cast at the election at which
it is submitted. For example let it be
assumed that at the coming election
there will be cast the highest number of
votes for governor. If the aggregate
number of votes cast for all the candi-
dates for governor equals 800, 600 a con-
stitutional amendment to be adopted
must receive 150,O01 votes, for the re-
quirement is that the amendment MUST
RECEIVE A MAJORITY OF ALL h VOTES
CAST AT THE ELECTION at which it is SUBJ
mitted. From the figures as to the con.
dition Of the business of the supreme
court above gwen, it would seem that
this particular amendment will meet
with no opposition. But this is not
enough. A majority of the entire num-
Der of electors who vote in Nebraska on
November third next must express them
selves in favor of this amendment or it
will moi be adopted.

olimpses Of the Monroe Doctrine.

In eighteen hundred twenty three, some sew
enty years ago,
The president of this nation great, was noble
James Monroe:
The fifth in line from Washington, his rule
was wise and just.
His doctrine of that type and kind, the people
well might trust;
His platform made of solid b~oards-not one a
worthless plank,
He had no use for Doodle hordes, much less
for our time crank.
His heart was very large and kind, with sense
of justice full;
He said my friends we'll stay at home, but
shake hands with John Bull.
Then Johnny he will take the hint, if we do
not go hence,
That while we're friends and stay at home, he
must keep off our fence.
Thus all our presidents in the line, clear down
to little Grover,
Have had the precepts of Monroe to bridge
all troubles over.
Now Johnny Bull in his own home is bright
and always calm,
But still his fingers seem to itch to pick at
Uncle Sam.
When Venezuela, near our shores, lay bask-
ing in the sun,
1t dawned on Johnny all at once to take her
for his own.
And now the doctrine of Monroe, of years for
ever gone
Spoke through our congress halls and said,
Let Venzy quite alone.
Now Johnny dare not drop his toys to shake
his little fist,
While Uncle Sam FIVE men sent out, the lions
alive, to twist.
With due respect for England's Queen, and
all her noble host,
Monroe draws straight the boundary line
along our nations coast.
America should hold her own, some wrongs
should lightly pass,
But crowded to the wall, she'll say, You must
keep off the grass.

among them there was well defined

An item is going the rounds of
the papers, says the Lewiston Tel
Ter, to the effect that the salmon
are dying off in Snake river. This
is probably some tenderfoot's dis
covery. The fact is that salmon al
ways die after the spawning season.
These fish are not like some men.
They do not outlive their useful
ness. They are seemingly made
for purpose, and to live an allott-
ed time and no more. Our species
live just three years, and after re-
production die.

WINTER SCHOOL FOR FAR
MERS.

for Farmers" at the agricultural
college during the winter of 1895.
At that school interesting and prof
table practical instruction was
given in many of the subjects bear
ing upon modern and scientific ny
riculture and horticulture, and 3O4
farmers were enrolled during the
session. The coming session will
deal in similar manner with Fruit
Raising, Gardening, Pruning, IN
furious Insects, Diseases of Plants,
Diseases of the Horse, Diseases of
the Cow, Dairy Stock, Dairying,
Stock Raising, Grasses, Road Max,
ing, Soils, Fertilizers, Farm Ma
chincry, Diversified Farming.
The instruction will be of such
character that the progressive far
mer can hardly afford to miss it.
He should, if within the bounds of
possibility, make arrangements to
attend. It is the season of the year
when the time can best be spared
from the farm. The times are such
as require a careful Investigation Of
every problem that may contribute
to successful agriculture. 1t Will
pay you to spend time and money
in taking advantage of this course.
You can afford to employ someona
to take care of your stock during
these two weeks while you listen TO
these lectures and compare notes
with other farmers.
This school is not for farm boys,
but for the farmers themselves. We
expect men Of all ages who are
actually engaged in farming to be
present.
There will be no text book work
or recitations. Each day there will
be given from two to four lectures
with illustrative experiments, and
with practical laboratory work on
the part of the class when that is
practicable. The method might be
illustrated by the work of the hor
ticultural department last year, for
example, in the subject of grating.
First lecture was given on the
kinds and methods Of grating, and
these were illustrated before the
class. The class was set to work at
grating roots, and were able in
brief time to gain considera BILE man
ual dexterity. an abundant sup
ply of roots and scions were pro-
vided and any members wishing to
graft a hundred or two hundred
roots and take them home were
permitted to do So by paying for the
material-say half cent for each
root Instruction by similar meth
DDS will be given this year in graft
ing, budding, pruning, etc, In all
departments the lectures will be
illustrated with the use of the best
scientific apparatus. The silo, pig
gerry, dairy, veterinary laboratory,
etc, will afford ample opportunity
for the experimental part of the
work.
The following series of lectures
will be given;
