OBITUARY.
David Brown.

Those who came to unknown Nebraska
in the decade from 1850 to 1860 may
now be counted in as little time as it
took to count the cabins of Otoe coun-
ty in 1866.
Among the best type of the earliest
settlers of this state was David Brown
of Nebraska City, citizen, a teacher
and an exemplar of the homely and
substantial value of truth, honesty and
a blameless life. Among us he lived
more than forty years without doing an
intentional wrong to any fellow mortal
He was temperate, industrious and
prosperous without being fanatical,
exacting or proud. He worked because
he joyed in work, and the results it gave
in satisfactions for himself, his family,
his friends and the community.
His death, which came on Wednesday,
March 9Th, 1901, was an irreparable loss
to family, friends, city, county, and
state, for he labored well and Loyalty for
all of them with an intensity of purpose
which continued to his dying breath
His last minutes confirmed his courage
and consecrated the end of his useful
life as a lesson, in bravely and
TRANQUILITY meeting inevitable death.
Business affairs, letters to friends,
solacing words to wife and son and
brother, were calmly attended to and
with wonderful lucidity of mind. Min
utes, in which is givena lesson so solemn
ly and sweetly inculcated and so in
effaceably registered on the memory, are
counted as equal, in wisdom and sim
cerity, to entire years of ordinary life.
"For the tongues of dying men
Enforce attention like deep harmony"
The. following letter Is taken from the
Omaha Bee and State Journal of March
II, 1901:
SYRACUSE, Neb., March 10.-To the
Editor of The Bee: A large contingent
of the Nebraska legislature marching
through the falling raindrops to the
home of their colleague, the late Hon.
David Brown, and laying him away
under the sod, covered by the falling
snow, is typical of the purity of their
late comrades life. A more beautiful
portrayal of the character and of the
life that has just gone out could not be
portrayed than by letter written by
David Brown, while in the legislature,
to his friend, j. Sterling Morton, upon
the recent death of his son, Carl, which,
thanks to Mrs. David Brown and Joy
Morton, I am permitted to present to
the public, feeling that the people are
entitled to this glimpse of the sterling
character of our late representative. The
following is the letter:

tion than any other method. But there
was a serious objection to such apportion-
ment. 1t abandoned a heroic band of
Democrats in the Republican counties to
hopeless Republicanism. The natural re-
suit of such district would have been
for the Republican majority to continue
to grow, as in the Western district of
Kentucky, until it would threaten the
Democratic majority in other sections of
the State. That plan would have made
certain larger representation in Con-
gress and by the same token have made
certain of an ever increasing Republican
majority against the State ticket in that
district The fighting Democrats in those
counties would have lost hope and heart
and the whole party in the State would
have suffered by abandoning them to ''the
cruel and unusual punishment" involved
in putting them under the Madison
Wilkes -Yadkin- Mitchell control. Reiec-
tiOn convinced the Legislature that to
pursue such a course would be most in
furious to the party in the State and it
was wisely decided that it was better
to run the risk of losing two or three
Congressman, with a fine chance of elect
ing ten, than to run the risk of a perpet
ually growing Republican majority in the
rock-ribbed Republican district. There
was another suggestion that had force in
it, to-wit.: Elect a Congressman at-large
in 1902 and wait to re-district in 1908 after
the amendment has gone into operation
There was a hard and close fight upon this
proposition, and it was decided that as
this was the constitutional year for re-
districting, it was better to proceed mas
much as there would be as many difficult
ties in the way in 1903 as now, with the
edueu dlfficulty OF what 10 40 with the

This was the first Legi!ature that has
assembled in North Caplina since the
enfranchisement of the ngn that did not
contain single negro leisator in either

upon the part of many legroes that they
would be Disseminated gsinst. The con-
trary was true. This legislature, deter

White Supremacy in politics does not

Greensboro, and for the education of the
colored dea', dumb and blind at Raleigh,
a neat sun was appropriated to build
better buildings at the colored orphan
asylum at Oxford, and no legislation
touching the educational policy adverse to
them was enacted. What does this prove
That the Democratic party, while re-
solved to restrict negro suffrage and pre-
vent negro office holding or the holding oi
office by men who cater to the negro vote
is in every material way the friend of the
negro. It's friendship is founded upon the
spirit of justice and helpfulness for
weaker race, and not from any hope fol
or desire of negro help in maintaining
power 1t will be as hostile as ever tC
the negro in politics; will be as opposed
as ever to negro participation in the Sc
lection of officers; and as intolerant a:

a party to be unjust or unkind to th

AN EDUCATIONAL LEGISLATURE.
This was an educational Legislature
was elected upon platform containing,
solemn pledge in these words:
eve heartily commend the action G

the school fund so as to make at least
a four months term in each year in every
school district in the State
The same convention that adopted the
above platform, containing specific
pledge instead of glittering generalities,
nominated as its candidate for Governor
the foremost citizen in the State, whose
lifelong devotion TO public education was
a guarantee that his administration would
be devoted to the educational uplifting of
the children of the State.
The party pledge has been kept to the
letter. mere summary of what this
LEGISLATURE has done for education shows
that it has been responsive to the best
thought and highest aspirations of the
people If it has made any mistake else
where, the wise and progressive educa-
tional policy Will more than make up for
any mistakes. Here are the most i'm
portant measures adopted for educational
advancement:
/. A plan for State adoption of school
books by which the children of the State
will use uniform school books and will be
enabled to buy them at least twenty five
per cent cheaper than heretofore. This
was the initial step to helping the schools,
and if the committee uOeS us duLy, tnere
is no 'uoubt that this measure will save
thousands Of dollars to the children of
the State.
2. The appropriation of two hundred
thousand dollars to supplement the school
fund of the State, one hundred thousand
to be distributed to all the counties per
carita and one hundred thousand dollars
to bring up all the schools to four
months term. will give new stimulus
to education and will go far toward re-
State. It is therefore wise to give the
moving the bane Of illiteracy from the
States fair name
3. The passage Of what the best posted
mon regard as the best public school law
in the states history will afford machin-
erv for the bettermont of the schools.
Large appropriations alone will not edu-
cato the neople. The fund must be wisely
