On Monday evening, April 10, a
meeting. was held, i'm the Court
House to talk over the matter Of
levying an IS mill school tax for the
purpose of commencing the erection
of District School House for this
tenth school district. After, Consid-
cradle talk pro and con the majority
voted to assess an IS mill tax, which,
with theee mill taxalevied in Decem-
Der, 1896, makes per cent school
tax for this district, the full amount
the law.auows in any one year. 1t
was stipulated that 80 per cent of
this tax shall be- paid in material.
labor and pay that can be utilized
in constructing the building. and the
other12o per cent to be paidin cash.
The election is being held today to
decide whether the tax shall be- lev
led or not.
The site for the building is notyet
definitely decided, but we have had
it limited that the city will be invited

Three Supreme Follies Of Man.

ADVISE and witty woman once
remarked that, there were three
supreme follies Of men that al
ways both puzzled andt amused
her.
The first was to climb trees to
shake fruit down, when, if they
would wait long enough, the fruit
would fall down itself.
The second was going to ar.to
kill each other, when if they would
only wait:they would die natural
deaths. ..-. ...-
The third is that they should

would wait, the women would run

INEFFECTIVE KICKING.

A communication published this
morning from Kicker" shows that
that valuable element in a community
may fail to work for reform by direct
ing its hoofs against the wrong object
The world would see very little i'm
But the kicker ought to be very sure
that he knows what he is kicking about
or against Out correspondent in this
case objects to the doctrine that the
bride taker as the gribe giver. He
actually lauds the performance of the
former, following the example of a
leading candidate in the last cam
paign, who urged voters to spoil the
Egyptians by taking their money and
then going to the polls and casting
their ballots for the opposition candi-
date. That the end justidas the means
is very ancient doctrine, but one out
of which we have never yet found any
thing to grow but immortality and evil
Right is right and wrong is wrong:
and man who salves his conscience
by making believe that he is justified
morally in doing a wrong because it
will strike some other evil doer can
never delude himself into the belief that
he has not descended to The criminal
plane The moral constitution of the
world is memorable, and you cannot so
constitute men as to escape the pun
ishment of evil deeds, whether their all
legged purpose be good or bad.
Aside from that in this particular in
stance "Kicker'' seems to be clearly
ignorant of the rule about states evil
dence. He assumes throughout that
there is no means of convicting the
briber, and that the only resource Of the
bribed is to keep his money and keep
silence. We do not need any legisla-
ton in Nebraska or anywhere else to
put the corruptionist in the peniten-
tiary, If the men whom he approaches
have virtue enough to catch him in his
own trap and give testimony against
him. The great trouble is that there
is too much law-breaking on both
sides, and the low standard of moral
ity which "Kicker" advocates Is large
ly responsible for it.
AS to the other points in his letter 1t
is necessary only to remind him that
neither $10O00,0OO nor half that amount
was ever expended in this country on
any election by all parties combined;
that the prices Of commodities in a
country do not depend on the volume
of money in that country; that, If we
want to keep the money standard and
the property standard together, the
way to do it is by adopting a unit Of
value made up of the average prices
of a fixed quantity of the great staples
of life for a period of years-a change
which would do away with this whole
money controversy; which would make
long contracts stable in their terms.
which would do justice to debtor and
creditor alike-which the G lob e has

PUNISH THE BRIRE GIVER.
Kicker Thinks the Bride Taker
Should Go Free.
To the Editor Of the Globe.

To the Editor Of the Globe
We were interested in your editorial the
other morning bribery, and though
stranger in the state venture a few addi-
tional words. If we understand you you
blame equally the bribe-giver and the bribe-
taker They are not equally guilty or
equally dangerous in the community. We say,
punish the bribe-giver severely and pay the
bribe-taker reward. providing he convicts
the giver. Holding both equally guilty, one
will defend the other, so neither are punished.
This is the greatest safeguard to bribery
there is today.
1t is not so much the accumulation of
great wealth that is complained of as of the
unjust and unequal laws by which it is
gained. And the laws that being made
are more and more unjust The courts are
gradually sliding towards the millionaire,
just as they slid towards the slave driver in
the sos. Oficeholders and judges should be
criticised Class must be arrayed against
class, the virtuous against the vicious There
is an enjoyment in kicking against wrong
whether it is ever righted or not 1t is safe
to encourage the all-around kickers like
Altgeld and Tillman.
1t is not the money standard that is COM
planned Of but the change. Raising the money
standard lowers the property standard. That
has been done. Now lower the money stand
ard to where it was will raise the property
standard to where 1t was. One can be done
by law just as easily the other. What
we want is the same relation between money
and property to be maintained year after
year. Increase the volume of money, wheth-
er by coming silver or any other way and the
standard will be lowered.
Buying votes and carrying elections by the
use of money is dangerous custom. Not less
than $10,0 900 or $40 600 were used by
the Republicans last fall. The effect is seen
in the fraudulent vote counted in the six
Central Western states. The census in a
separate column gives the number of men
of voting age. Indiana counted 40, 900 more
votes than she had voters; West Virginia
10000, Illinois 1900 and Minnesota Is 600. Not
a single Bryan state overcounted Nebraska
lacked 10000 Of counting all she had and
Missouri lacked 10000. There were not less
than 10000 laboring men in Nebraska who
marched and shouted for Mckinley, wore the
Mckinley badges and took Mckinley money
all to hold their jobs, but they voted for
Bryan all the same.
Was this honorable? may be asked. Yes
when man is drowning it is honorable tC
let any briber robber help him out Now
If the people Of Nebraska could say to these
poor men, go free, and if you will turn in
and help convict the bribers we will give YOU
a reward, there would be no more such work
in that state. We insist that the briber is
the dangerous man, the seducer. One short
step more and our elections, legislatures and
courts will be in his hands. Kicker

UNKNOWN MAN DROWNED UNDER
THE BRIDGE AT FORT Smell
LING.
CARD WITH NAME HOWARD"
SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY CIUE tn
THE MISSING MANS IDEN-
TITY.
When He Fell Out of His Boat and
Sank in the Swollen
River.

An unknown man was drowned in
the Mississippi river near the Fort
Smelling bridge about 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. The body has not vet
been recovered and there is but little
clue TO the dead mans identity. The
man was standing up in a boat when
the accident happened, sculling the skiff
up stream. He was suddenly seen to
lose MS balance, as though the one oar
winch he was using, had sunk into
very deep water, and he fell headlong
INTO the river. Coming to the surface
the man struggled wildly and called
loudly for help. Mrs Bentley. living
near the bridge, witnessed the acct
dent and notified a number Of men in
the vicinity, who ran to the river bank
put could see nothing of the drowned
man. The boat drifted to the shore near
MENDOZA, where it was secured by sew
eral boys. In it was found a rubber
coat with cape attached, an ak, a
plack sack coat, and a fishing pole. In
the pocket Of the coat were several
business cards of the Twin City Tent
and Awning company, of 1856 Jackson
street, and a physicians certificate
viz N'0 VI -hdicn II, maze out
IN the name of "Mr. Howard" Only
an incomplete description of the dead
man could be secured. He is said to
have been about forty-five or fifty
years Of age, with slightly gray hair
and a black mustache, being apparent
ly laboring man.
Z. H. Weikert, manager of the Twin
City Tent and Awning company, said
last evening that he had no one in his
employ by the name of Howard, though
he had discharged an operator three
weeks ago whose name he could not
remember, who might possibly have
been on a fishing expedition up the
river"
