STANDING OF THE LEAGUE.
rrotection for Soldiers.

A western woman inventor, who de-
vised the ,fireproof helmet for firemen,
urges the government to adopt small
skull cap and breastplate, arm pieces
and the thigh pieces of aluminium,
painted the same color as the uniform.
The weight is inoonAderable, and when
properly made it will turn a rife bullet
up to a very short distance. The metal
is now down to less than 30 cents a
pound, and a complete outfit would not
weigh more than FIVE pounds. The
saving OF life and limb would more than
repay the cost thousand times over.
The same metal, she says, should be en-
ployed for canteens, rife stocks, KNAPP
sack frames, fagstaffs, drum frames
and tent poles.-Chicagc Chronicle.

LINCOLN. NEB.. Dec. 2o.-tSpecialD
Aside from the senatorial election in this
state which promises TO be, exciting
enough, several other matters of much in
terest are to come up for considerat ton.
The revenue laws relating to the support
of the state university are TO be changed
That institution has been enlarged and
improved that what answered a few years
since is no longer adequate. Then the code
of civil procedure is in need of thorough
overhauling. inconsistent provisions are
found in force. one or both being obsolete.
A commission to rearrange these laws is
necessity.
But the most important matter proposed
is the repeal of the railway commission
law. The state constitution forbids the
creation of any one executive officer. So
these commissioners have been designated
as clerks. and have accomplished very lit
tie of value in all these years of the ex-
now propose to abolish the whole thing
The officers are all Populists at the present
time and the new governor is of like per-
suasion. Personally he has expressed him
self as favorable to the dscontinuance of
the commission. VIII he be able to ap-
prove bill repeating the law in the face
of the opposition coming from his own
party for the retention of several good
offices? The legislature being Republican
but only by small majority. leaves the
governor in a position to veto any bill

deadlock is among the possibilities Re
