Davidson contested the latter entry

final proof. The secretary decided that
the entries of both entrymen would be

ALLEN ON THE TARIFF
EEBRASKA'S SENIOR SENATOR
MAKES A SPEECH.
The Doctrine of Protection Attacked
He Asserts that Comparatively Few
Laboring Men Favor It-Trusts
and Combinations Severely
Criticised.
Nebraska's Senior Senator.

Washington dispatch: Senator Allen,
populist, of Nebraska, made long
speech in the senate on the unconsti-
tutionality of tariff taxes beyond those
requisite for revenue. Although it
was the first tariff speech the senate
has heard this session, it did not at
tract marked attention. Mr.. Allen
criticised the trusts and combinations,
which, he declared, reaped the main
advantage of tariff taxes. The sena-
tors remarks were in the nature of q
legal argument showing the constitu
tional limitation of the taxing power
of congress. In the course of his
speech he said:
''We have a right to consider the
character and occupation of the men
making the claim for protective legis-
lation. They are not the laborers
themselves-those whom it is said pro-
lection is to beneft-but they are the
manufacturers, the bankers, the attor-
neys and lobbyists, who appeal to us
in the name of the wage-earner.
There are very few of the laborers and
producers who believe that the wages
are raised substantially by a high tariff,
and still fewer who desire that such a
tariff shall be levied on the articles of
necessary consumption Of 95 per cent
of the people for their special benefit.
1t is true there are occasionally a few
wage earners, ignorant of the princi
Piles underlying this, who, in conse
quence of being repeatedly told so,
believe prosperity is dependent in
some measure on protective tariff,
and they are induced by the crafty
and greedy for whom they labor to i'm
perfume congress to protect the partic-
ular branches of industry in which
they are engaged. But these men are
few indeed, and they are almost al
ways melted to such appeals by those
for whom they labor and in the inter-
est of those who reap in their name
the benefit of the high protective leg
islation."
In conclusion, the senator said: Il
place myself on the solid, impregnable
ground that under our constitution
congress does not possess power TO tax
the people to enhance the private for
tunes of the few and that the full
measure of the taxing power is reached
when tariff for revenue, with incl
dental protection, is imposed. Any
other construction would lead to con-
tiscation and incidentally to enforced
reputation, the two worst conceivable
forms of anarchy and disorder in a
civilized state; and such Il deduction,
when carried to it's legitimate length.
would lead to the subversion of all
order, and the rights of persons
and property. We cannot serve the
people and the money power at the
same time. Their interests are deadly
antagonistic. What is for the com
mon welfare is against the trusts and
pools"

Pure Food Bill.

The pure food bill. senate file No. 264,
by Murphy of Gage, has passed the
upper house. This bill provides that
no person shall, within this state, man
ufacture for sale, offer for sale, or sell

are not injurious to health. Any per-
son interested IS empowered to secure
a sample of any article for analysis
whenever he shall tender the value of
the same. The fine for violation shall
not exceed 500 nor less than SIS, or
imprisonment in the county jail not
exceeding thirty days or both, and any
person convicted shall also pay all nee
essary costs and expenses incurred IN

Nebraskans at Washington.

Washington dispatches: Nebraska's
four members new to congressional
life broke themselves in quite early.
Judge Greene on Monday night made
his maiden bow to Mr.. speaker. :"
The new members have been the most
faithful in point of presenting them
selves to be talked at. while the older
hands have taken advantage of the
occupation of the floor by the tariff
bill to catch up with accumulated cor
respondence and to dispel congested
business in the various departments.
AT some of the night sessions a quarter
of the house only were in attendance.
The size of the audience during the
daily session depended largely upon
the knowledge of who would occupy
the floor.
In the tariff discussion Judge Greene
of Nebraska showed his ability to give
and take blows with equal justice.
His speech was replete with. biblical
quotations. speaking of Cleveland '-as
one who saith of his brother. thou fool,
shall be in danger of hell fire" Judge
Greene was minister at one time in
his career, and early learned to use the
bible and its apt quotations to make
stronger his natural flow of OratOry
and his knowledge of the good book
was greatly appreciated by his brethren
ON the democratic side OF the house.
Judge Greene acted with considerable
force and contributed a great deal of
entertainment to the tariff sideShOw.
Senator ThurSton today introduced q
party of Nebraskans to the president,
the president having intimated to the
junior senator from Nebraska that he
would be pleased to receive SOjourning
residents of the AntelOpS state today.
In the party were Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
w. breckenridge. Mr.. and Mrs. w. j.
Carroll of Omaha; Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
of Grand Island: Mrs. Bryant. ex-Con-

The Blanket Ballot System.

At this writing the above measure is
being considered in the house. The
bill provides for blanket ballot and
for party emblems to be used on bal
lots for the greater ease of voters to
whom the present system is somewhat
unintelligible. Each party is given a
column on the ballot and whenever a
candidate is endorsed by more than
one party his name appears in the
list of each party by whom he is en-
dorsed The blanket ballot is simply
a device to enable Il voter to vote Il
straight ticket by one mark.

DIVIDING NEBRASKA.
Congressman Grecne's Bill for Two Judi
c!ai Dist ricts.

Congressman Grecne's Bill for Two judi.
c!aI Districts.
Washington special: A bill has been
introduced in the house by Judge
Greene to divide the state of Nebraska
into two judicial districts, to be known
as the eastern and west. This differs
from the bill introduced by Judge
Strobe in the last congress and
reintroduced in the present house, pro-
viding for a division into northern and
southern districts. Judge Strode's bill
looks to the division of the state, Civ
ing each judicial district three con-
gressional districts, the Second, Third
and Sixth to be the northern district,
and the First, Third and Fifth to COM
prise the southern, with terms of court
to be held in cities as now prescribed
by law. While Judge Greene's bill
seeks to establish courts in Hastings,
Kearney and Chadron, his division of
the proposed districts being drawn in
practically a straight line between
Nuckolls and Thayer on the south to
between Knox and Cedar on the north.
Nothing can be done with either one
of these bills in the house at this ses
sion of congress on account OF the lack
of organization of committees, there
being no Judiciary committee to con-
slider and report upon the bills. Judge
Strode's bill, which has been for some
time before the attention of the bar of
Nebra Ska has received large endorse
ment there of the legal fraternity,
which will be used by Judge Strobe in
urging the bill for passage.
