RECOUNT BEGINS.
Supplementary Enumeration Is
Under Way.
Four Euumerators are Doing The Work
Assisted by Six Men to be
Paid By the City.

AS stated by the Free Press yester-
dav afternoon, Director Merriam sent
instructions to Special Agent Olmsted
to'have supplementary count OF the
population of Mankato made and to
appoint four enumerators to WORK
six DAYS. Four of the old enumerators
were chosen Axel Olson, Ernest
Schumacher, E. j. Sheldon and w. d.
Tompkins. These went to work this
afternoon, taking different territory
from that which they first covered.
They are supplied with the lists made
in the first enumeration, and are in
structed to visit every house and read
off the list of names secured there and
enquire whether there are any others.
In this way quick work can we made
of the recount, as the blanks have to
be filled out only when new names are
secured.
1t is especially necessary that the
member of the family seen by the emu
merator should give not only the
names of the family but also OF the
dodgers in the house and all members
of the families or dodgers who may be
absent from the city, either at work
or ON pleasure trips. When persons
living in the city June list have re-
moved from the city since then, the
names should be given by anyone
knowing of the circumstance. The
object of the recount is to give Man
kato credit for as large population
as it is honestly Untitled to. Let every
body show pride in the city by aiding
the enumerators in every way possible.
Mayor Currier had conference
with the aldermen this forenoon in re-
gard to employing an auxiliary COM
mittee, and they were willing to aid
by paying for the service of man in
each of the wards, all to work under
the supervision of James Shoemaker,
who has shown great interest in the
matter and given his time in a most
public spirited manner. Mr.. Shoe
maker will select these men. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to help in the
city, for only by vigilence will
every name be secured.
Mr. Shoemaker has decided to ap-
point Alex Bashaw in the First ward,
John Schmitt in the Second ward,
Gaylord Lamb in the third, D. G.
Robinson in the Fourth, John Mullen
in the Fifth, and Chas. Mailman in
the Sixth.
Special Agent Olmstead has assigned
the enumerators as follows: E. j.
Sheldon, Second ward; Alex Olson,
First ward W. d. Thompkins, Fourth
ward: Ernest Schumacher, Sixth ward.
As each finishes his present assign
ment he will be given new territory
until all is covered.

The raid against
oleomargarine is
PATERNALISM.

D.rupN.,,snr Inc RAID against
oleomargarine is
renewed in congress by the patriotic
dairymen who sell creamery butter only.
These COW. worshipers who seek to pro-
tect American tables and stomachs from
the incursions of any and all oleaginous
bread-spreaders except of their own
manufacture, are now as thick and
active about the halls of the capitol at
Washington as feas on dog or bees in
a hive. They seek enactments which
shall tax butterine and oleomargarine 80
strongly and highly that it cannot be
sold to the consumer at much less than
is benignantly charged for creamery
butter. They ask class legislation in
favor of butter and against all substi.
tutes therefor. They demand domestica-
tion of the protective tariff. Heretofore
we have been informed that the high
tariff duties were not paid by the con-
sumers in the countries to which the
tariffed goods came, but by the foreigner
who sent them in. Now, if taxes are
put upon oleomargarine and butterine
by congressional legislation for the real
purpose of keeping up the price of cow
butter, will some one tell who aside
from consumers, are to pay them?
The substitutes should be sold under
their true names and not as butter. But
they ought to have
as much right to
artificial coloring or complexion as but
ter. And everybody who reads the
journals of the dairymen can observe
the "infnite variety" of coloring mater
ials advertised for and commended to
butter makers. Butter can make it's
toilet and use complexion powders but
it is to be forbidden to oleomargarine or
butterine to enjoy similar luxuries.
oleomargarine and butterine merely to
help the butter
makers. It is
legislative outrage which puts an arti-
fetal price upon the wholesome and
edible bread greaser which plain people,
commonly, in great cities, use. There is
no propriety and no patriotism in using
the power to tax for the purpose of en-
riching one industry and impoverishing
another. The dairy lobby ought to be
kicked out of congress and butter sub.
stitutes, properly and loudly labeled,
left untaxed.

Entered at the postoflce at Nebraska City
Neb., as Second Glass matter, July 29th, 1893.

Nebraska is
known as state
which pays penuriously small salaries to
it's judges. Nebraska is known also as
state which has made Judicial record
not equal to that which it made as
territory.
The first judges appointed to the ter
ritorial bench of Nebraska in 1854 by
President Frank
Pierce were Fen
ner Ferguson, Edward R. Hardin and
James Bradley the first from Michigan
the second from Georgia and the third
from Indiana. They were able, honest
men and better lawyers and more salts.
factory jurists, than the elective system
has, on the average, furnished to the
state since it's admission in March, 1867.
An appointed judge named to senate
and by that senate confirmed and de.
creed commission
able, is creature
of the executive and legislative branches
of the government. The president and
the United States senate, in the creation
of federal judge, are directly responsible
to the people. And so in the state judi
ciary, if appointed by the governor and
confirmed by the state senate, the judge
is recognized as the creation of the ex.
ecutive and the senators.
Whether good and able or bad and
ignorant, the responsibility of his being a
judge is fixed
directly upon the
governor and the senators. They have
been elected to Office from among the
most intelligent citizens of the state.
They have character and reputation to
uphold by discreet action or to destroy
by indiscretion. A governor and
