NEBRASKA SUPREME COURT
To Pass on the Validity of New State
Offices

Lincoln, Neb., Sept 2O-After the
summer recess the supreme court met
today for the regular fall term, and
several important decisions are expect
ed. Probably the most notable will be
that concerning the validity of numer-
Gus legislative acts creating minor
state Offices. The constitution of Ne
b1aska specifically prohibits the crea-
ton of state offices by the legislature,
but Notwithstanding this many Offices
have been created by that body. The
lawmakers declare that there was
abundant necessity for the offices ere
ated by them, but at the same time it
is contended that the laws are never
theless unconstitutional AS a conse-
quence the decision of the supreme
court on this point is awaited with
great interest

WILL STUMP In OHIO
Postmaster General Smith as
administration Orator.
1t is Also Possible That fhe Pre- 81.
dent Will Make Some Rear Plat
form Speeches While Crossing
Ohio To and from the west.

Washington, Sept 20 Postmaster
General Smith will speak for the ad-
m,1nistIation in the Ohio campaign
The announcement of this fact, fol-
lowing closely upcn the letter of Sec
retary Hay to Chairman Dick, indicates
| the interest which the president is
taking in the contest in his state, and
his full appreciation Of the Importance
Of a republican victory.
No definite programme has yet been
arranged for Mr.. Smith, but it is prob
able that his oratorical campaign will
begin Immediately after the visit Of
the presidential party to Chicago.
The pcstmaster-g general will go to Chi
cago with the president, the date of
the corner stone laying being the 9th
| of October, and will probably s--end
three or four days, CT possibly week.
in Ok,io while returning to the east.
1t is also probable that the tour of the
president across Ohio into Illinois will
be made the occasion for a few rear
platform speeches. The president will
not, Of course, formally participate in
the Ohio campaign There will be no
special meeting which he will attend,
nor will his speeches he advertised,
but the republican managers say that
he can hardly remain silent while
crossing the state. His remarks will
carefully avoid direct reference to the
Ohio fight, but will nevertheless be
exceedingly helpful to the republican
party
After the president has left Ohio,
Mr.. Smith will aIlpear en- the scene.
He has already one personal invitation
which he may accept. The Ohio repub-
lican editors have a custom CT holding
nesting in each campaign in combi-
nation with the state republican COM
m3ttee. Last year this meeting was
held at Columbus, under tha presi-
dency of General Brown, the Zanes-
editor and members of the Grand
Army committed which investigated
the pension bureau administration.
ostnaster-GeneraI Smith was one of
the orators, and made such a favorable

speak again next month. 1t is probable
that he will comply with the request,
and will then place himself at the DIS
posal of the state committee. He has |
canvassed through the state repeatedly, /
beginning in 1895, and has spoken at
Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, !
Newark and other cities. In |
1895 he accompanied Mr. Mckinley, |
and addressed enormous crowds In /
fact. his tours have always been no
table for attracting some of the largest
throngs ever assembled in the state.
The democrats have not as yet ar
ranged for the opening of their cam
paign with a meeting such as the re-
publicans have advertised for Akron
cn the 23d instant. Indeed, the friends
of Mr.. Mclean in this city insist that !
he will not place much reliance upon
the speIbinders. He does not believe
in a campaign of oratory, but will
work quietly in each country, strength
ening the organization, and perfecting
methods for bringing out the demo-
cratic vote. The republicans, While
not megiecting the organization, will
conduct stirring campaign.
