LONDON, Sept. 5.-Amid the crowd of
conflicting dispatches from South
Africa regarding the Transvaal situa-
ton it is still impossible to say exactly
what has happened. 1t seems evident,
however, that President Kruger has
withdrawn the 5-year franchise. which
was dependent OIL Great Britalns &C
ceptance OF impossible conditions re-
gardlng suzerainty, and has made some
sort Of telnporizing counter suggestion
regarding a conference.
The Standard and Diggers' News
gives what lNIrocts to lie a report OF
the secret session of the volksr;:;ld on
Saturday. According to this account
the volksraad not only determined to
reject the 5-year proposal but also
stoutly opposed President Kruger visit
ing Cape Town and resolved to make
stand for abrogauon OF Englanel's claim
to suzerainty. The Bocr organ then
asserts:
The Boer government, both the raaa
and burghers feel they have offered all
they intend to offer and are now re-
solved to stand OF fall by this decision"

REVISE THE TENANT LAWS.

Among the changes in the statutes de-
handed at the hands of the legislature
none are more important than the pro-
posed revision Of the laws governing
the relations of landlord and tenant.
One of the chief obstacles to the in.
vestment of capital in building improve
mcnts Is the defective laws that make
such investments extra hazardous.
When the owner Of a building, whether
1t be a s~torehouse. hotel, dwelling or
office block, executes a lease of the prem
ises or gives possession without a lease
he takes his chances of eve collecting
any rent. The tenants, If disposed to
%repudiate the obligation, may not only
refuse to vacate at the expiration of the
lease, but persist in retaining posses
sion for years without paying rent.
The natural result of such lax rental
laws is the Encouragement of building
enterprises which would give employ
ment to labor and help to raise the tax
value of adjacent property and the en-
couragement Of dead-beating and black
mailing among INSCRIPTIONS or dishon-
est enants 1t happens quite frequently
that in order to get rid of a tenant who
refuses to pay his rent the owner is
forced to put up a bonus to get posses
sion of his w property. AS a matter
of self-protection property owners are
compelled to bar out tenants who can
not give security or pay in advance, and
many prefer to leave their premises va
can't a,tln. t1r,. h...u 4L--.
to wear and tear by parties of doubtful
s~olvency or questionable honesty. u.
In the long run the honest poor man
suffers through the ability of the dis
honest tenant to work the landlord for
free occupancy. If the laws were
amended so as to enable the owner of
improved property to take possession Of
his own after reasonable notice when
the lessee defaults in his payments, the
reputable and decent class Of renters
would be materially benefited by
cheaper rents and better accommoda-
tons.
Another beneficial effect of more
equitable tenant laws would be the abil-
ity of people of moderate means to Sc
cure building loans since one of the chief
elements is the ability of the property
to yield Il steady income from its rentals
to insure prompt payment Of taxes and
interest. So long as the present law re-
mains unchanged investors and money
loaners prefer to place their money in
states where they are not constantly
threatened with losses through uncol-
lectible rents.

CHANGE IN THE WEATHER.

What do you think of Nebraska state?
It's the choicest spot in this country great
Where the winds blow fresh in the winter
time
With the sweet-scented breath of some
sunny clime;
That is. in the morning or noon, perhaps.
Till the mantle of night on our shoulder
taps,
And then Father Boreas sends in a draft
That goes through our frame like a light
ning-tipped shaft;
And then those fresh zephyrs that played on
our brow
Play again, but the feeling is different now,
For those, zephyrs have donned a thick
mantle of ice
And they fresco our nose in a manner not
nice.
But why should we kick or go moaning
around
When such a diversified climate ia found2
There's a place we have read about, though
we don't know,
Where they'd give a whole lot for that cold
wind to blow:
And just think how 1t helps the poor trades
man to live!
In the morning our shekels for busters We
give
Then at night we buy arctics n thick
overcoats.
And part with a sigh from our SO notes.
But why should we Kick or engage in vain
strife,
For variety oft has been called "spice Of
So we'll not say a word 'gainst the office up
high,
That mikes our weather up there in the sky;
Where the wind blows alike on the small

TAXING A prAp on GOVERNORS

Seward Reporter (rep)! Governor Ifol-
comb steps out OF Office today and William
a. Poynter becomes chief executive Of Ne
breska Whether Governor Poynter will
be an improvement over his predecessor
remains TO be seen, Had 1t not been for
his extreme partisanship Holcomb would
have been a pretty fair governor, but parti.
sanship blinded his eyes in many cases. 1t
is likely that Poynter will be considerably
hampered by the same difficulty.
Fremont Tribune (rep.): Governor Poyn-
ter has gone on record in his first mea-
sage as opposed TO railroad passes. 1t
would be interesting to know to a certainty
whether the new governor has returned all
the ''courtesies' sent him by the various
railroads as a compliment to the Office OF
governor. To preserve his consistency of
course he ought to turn down the proffered
pasteboards, but too many OF our reformers
are for reform for the other fellow.
cCook Tribune (rep.): That was very
clever OF Governor Poynter to recommend
the adjustment OF free passes. 1t would
have been more clever to have abolished
them, however, when the populists had
control of the legislature II they were sin
cere in their purpose. The governor is
already showing some symptoms of being
a politician. Free passes will be abolished
Just like the Board of Transportation will
be abolished-somewhat after the manner
the ancient dame kept an hosiery in the
occldent.
Nebraska Post (pop.): Yesterday termi-
mated the administration Of Governor Silas
A. Holcomb. During the four years Of his
occupancy of the highest office of the state
hic nfupia1 and priyatp conduct has hapn
wholly commentators and will rebound to
the lasting credit of himself, the state and
its people. Governor Holcomb's admins
tration has been conservative, but pro-
gressive, reformatory but practical, and en-
inently honest and fair. During the four
years Of his administration the state has
taken every step in advance that a
state government can take under prudent
and s~tatesmanlike government so far as
government responds to the character and
sentiment Of its chief executive.
Superior Sun (pop.): Hon. W.. A.. Poyn-
monwealth Of Nebraska and our opinion
OF the man is that he will make an ideal
governor, a worthy follower of Mr.. Hol-
comb. Mr.. Poynter is a shrewd, careful
and far-sighted man Of business, Of the
utmost integrity and perfectly free from
political stain or blemish. He is under
obligations to no one but the people of Ne
braska and their confidence in him will
be strengthened as he advances in his ad-
ministration. Owing nothing to corpora
tons or monopolies, they will not hang
from his neck as a milestone and retard his
labors for the people at large and his fair
ness and honesty of purpose insures justice
and equal rights to all. We have made no
mistake in making Mr.. Poynter the gCv-
ernor Of one Of the best and most ad-
vanced states in the union.

Among the items enumerated In the
list Of annual expenditures Of the late
Calvin S. Brice. a%ggregating 100000 a
year, is $4,000 for political contribu-
tons. Mr.. Brice was formerly chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee and naturally all his political
contributions went to the various demo-
cratic organizations. Yet there are
stantly base appeals for popular cam
paign contributions on the assertion
that all the moneyed men belong to the
republican party.

The Phantom KeeIy secret,
PHILADELPHIA Press.

Formerly it was the Keely motor itself;
now, with Keely dead, the mysterious entity
is the secret of Keely which is said to be
possessed by this or that individual. II
they do possess it-and far be 1t for any
outsider to deny there is a Kelly motor
secretly all means let us have it.. The
world has waited long enough for the great
industrial revolution which is to be initiated
when the motor becomes a commercial fact.
The coming year is a good year in which
to reveal the secret, since it will give two
years, 1899 and 1900, In which to work out
the solution and be ready for a twentieth
century revolution at the beginning Of 1901.
But If those who hold the Kelly secret do
not do any more with 1t than its owner did,
1t Is to be feared the century will grow old
with the secret still untold.

believe anything Hastings might do in this
direction would kill off the contemplated
Omaha show. Hastings might better be en-
gagged right now in passing resolutions to
stand by her local jobbers and manufac-
turers. This advice might be worth some
thing to the towns making so much noise
in protesting the Her exposition. We are
sure that this city can be expected to con-
tribute to any kind of a show anywhere
in spite Of all prejudice, whether sentiment
Is for or against the entertainment.

ton to change the ratio. The speech made
by ex-Judge Mcconnell does not affect us

Jones OF Arkansas Is all right. That Is.
Jones is all right for Arkansas, a state
which repudiated the Smithson bonds. Let
Jones talk what he will, Arkansas will
stand by him. 1t made him senator in 'S5,
reelected him in 30 and in '97. Jones
term as senator does not expire until 1903,
SO Jones personally is all right. And Jones
cannot understand, having his Arkansas and
Smithson bonds education, why his pana-
cea. which he says is a vigoral in Arkansas,
does not work elsewhere.
To democratic electors in Cook county
for instance, who were knocked out last
fall, he says in effect, Get some more OF my

mark the result. Anyone who has studied
the figures will foresee that the continued

STATE AND COUNTY FAIRS.
Objections to Their Hauls on
Public T~reasurieH.


Public Treasuries.
]. Sterling Morton's Conservative.
There Is no good reason why the public
treasury In the state OF Nebraska should
be depleted each year s 1000 for the purpose
Of running a state fair.
II the farmers and manufacturers Of Ne
braska deem it advantageous to have a state
fair each year they have a right to hold one
at their own expense. But there is no ex-
cuse for a law which puts the hand Of the
state Board Of Agriculture into the popular
pocket for the purpose Of taking out, each
year, enough tax-levied, tax-gathered cash
to pay the expenses OF the board and its
officers for running a state fair.
More than twenty years ago the editor OF
the Conservative served as president of the
State Board of Agriculture. While acting
in hat capacity he declined to take the
state appropriation for the Board OF Agri-
culture. To Hon. Eugene Mum, then a
member OF the legislature from Otoe county,
he addressed a letter protesting against the
appropriation. 1t was not made. The state
fair was a success financially and In every
desirable way. But never since that time
has the State Board OF Agriculture failed
to seek and secure and consume its annual
stipend of 81, 900 from the state. In the last
twenty years that stipend makes an aggre-
cation Of more than $50, 900. No such
appropriation is needed. No such ap-
preparation should be made. II there is not
demand for a state fair in sufficient force
to pay the expenses Of a state fair, Ne
braska ought not to indulge in a state fair.
Things undemanded are valueless.
There is among the statutes OF Nebraska
one which provides for an annual allowance
Of $500 by the commissioners in each county
for the purpose OF holding a county fair.
The ninety-eight organized counties Of the
commonwealth a~vailing themselves OF this
lax, unwise and extravagant legislation may
%squander in horse trots about $50, 900 an
nually. In the last twenty years these ex-
penditures which are wholly unnecessary
have added about 81, 900, 900 to the taxation
Of Nebraska.
The legislature OF Nebraska should abol-
ish all subsidies to the State Board OF Agri-
culture and to county agricultural societies.
II these laws are not repealed it is a duty
OF taxpayers TO sue out injunctions and per-
manently, under order OF the courts, put an
end TO this waste of public money.

FIGHTING 4 MONOPOLY.

The attorney general of Ohio is wag-
ing a most determined fight against the
Standard Oil company, the most power
full trust this or any other country has
ever known. His aim Is to take away
the franchise of the company and GUST
it from doing business in the state.
Nearly seven years ago the supreme
court of Ohio made u decree ordering
the dissolution of the Standard Oil
trust. In his petition to the court the
attorney general says that the company
has disobeyed this order and notwith-
standing the decree of the court has
continued to act as a trust in violation
of the law and the mandate Of the court
itself. 1t Is charged that the company
has misused its franchise privileges
and rights and that it has committed
and omitted acts which amount to a
surrender of its corporate rights. 1t is
also charged that the company has
violated the state antitrust law, which
went into effect last July, by having
formed a coalition with nineteen other
companies.
1t Is needless to say that the great
trust is making a determined resistance,
for the loss of it's franchise given by
the state Of Ohio would be a very
serious matter to it. 1t has been de-
veloDed that since action was begun
against it the company has destroyed
some of its books and a few days ago its
leading lawyer, in answer to interroga-
tories put to him by judges Of the su-
preme court, stated that it was not the
intention Of the company to obey the
order to produce it's books showing the
net earnings of the past six years. He
held that these We're private property
and inviolate from the order OF the
court and that the company would re-
slst the order on legal and constitu-
tional grounds. This defiant attitude
illustrates the determined purpose OF
the monopoly to contest every inch OF
ground and to exhaust every legal re-
source. However, a corporation that
has disregarded the decree Of the SUI
preme court ordering its dissolution as
a trust would not hesitate to refuse
obedience to an order for the production
Of books necessary to prove the charges
against it.
The action of the attorney general Of
Ohio, which has for its purpose the
breaking up of this powerful trust, is
of more than local interest. Certainly
every foe of monopoly will earnestly
hope that this law-defying corporation
will be beaten and that the franchise
which it has misused will be taken from

Atchison Globe.

Some one once wrote a song
about the light in the window for me-"
and ever since that time the eight in the
window has figured in poetry and song to
a greater extent, and in a more sentimental
manner, than it is entitled to. The cold
truth is that when there is a light in the
window 1t means someone is sitting up to
give the last one to come home a scolding
or advice about the good sense Of going to
bed earlier. A light in the window is
something that a nagged person fails to
see and when his eyes first see it in turning
a corner he gets a cold chill and longs for
a homo in a clearinghouse. The "light-in-
the window" sentiment is badly oYerdone.
