WHAT WILL TIE HARTEST BE-

WHAT W III IHb HAh' bSL bE'
The Nebraska legislature will CON
clude its labors with the close of the
present week. BY far the most impor-
tant legislation, including the appro-
prlaton bills, has been held back for
the last days of the session and no one
can yet foretell with precision what
the harvest will be.
While the republicans have control
ling majorities in both houses, the le-
sponsibility for bad legislation and the
defeat of good measures will be shared
equally with them by the opposition
except alone where strict party lines
are drawn.
1t has been manifest for some time
that the present legislature, from
which so much was expected, could not
resist the tremendous pressure of the
corporatio lobby. That accounts for
the defeat of all the revenue revision
bills, the anti-pass bills, the bills to
restrict and regulate the charges of
common carriers and the refusal TO
abolish the useless railroad commits
SiOnerS.
While this will doubtless be disap-
pointing to the mass of the people
there is yet opportunity to grutify their
desires in several directions. There are
still many bills on the files of both
houses that would. if enacted, remedy
long standing abuses and do away with
sources of corruption that have made
il difficult to secure honest and eff
cient public officers in various capaci-
ties. 1t behooves the legislature to have
these bills forced to the front and sent
to the governor for his approval.

1t is notorious that money paid to
popocratic boodlers was the only thing
that kept the last fusion legislature
from abolishing the $4,000 corruption
fund that attaches TO the Office OF dis
trlct court clerk in this county. If the
bill to make that position a salaned
office, now pending in the senate, is
again hung up the suspicion will be
irresistibls that the same means have
been employed.

Guaranty companies are good thing,
but there is Il possibility of OVERRIDING
matters in the line of making them COM
petent security on bonds running to the
public. AS an optional feature they are
in many cases desirable, but making
them obligatory is putting it within the
power of these great corporations by
combining to squeeze unmercifully every
one compelled to put up bond for any

The local popocratic organ singles ont
the two republican judges of the SUI

thing not also done by their popocratic

indeed be a jewel.

Governor Poynter must remember
that he has n full share in the respon-
