Live Nebraska Towns
NELS Had a Failure.

Nelson is the county seat Of Nuckolls
county, a hundred miles southwest Of Lin
colin, and a thriving little city Of a thou
sand prosperous and intelligent citizens.
This is the western terminus of the Fair
bury branch OF the Rock Island railroad.
This line, together with the Burlington,
gives us the best shipping facilities.
Nuckolls county is peculiarly adapted
to stock raising and is a splendid farm
ing district as we'll. Fruit of all kinds is
also found here In abundance. The large
alfalfa fields, prairie pastures and native
timber along the flowing streams make
this a most desirable place for extensive
cattle feeding. We have here a few OF the
largest and most successful feeders in
southern Nebraska, while on almost every
farm is given some attention to fine stock.
The public business OF the county is trans
acted in a substantial building erected OF
stone and brick at a cost OF over S35. 900 and
II is equipped with all modern convent
ences. Nelson is beautifully located on
the banks OF Elk creek and is surrounded
by an abundance OF native timber. This
pleasant location. together with our ex-
cellent public schools, and a half dozen
churches, makes this an ideal place in
which to live. The affairs OF the city are
conducted by able business men, who
have a personal interest In our welfare.
Thus the expense is kept down to the min
imum and We are not burdened with ex-
orbitant taxes, a thing so much dreaded
In many towns. No own in this section

Federal Courts and Taxes
Chicago Chronicle.

When Judges Grosscup and Humphrey,
sitting in the United States circuit court
In the tax cases against the traction COM
panies, set aside the state law of assess
ments and announced a judicial plan OF
their own there was general surprise.
1t was a new thing for a federal judicial
tribunal to nullify a state law and issue it's
own decree regulating state assessments
for the purpose Of taxation.
Those citizens who believed that the fed
eral court attempted to usurp a power
with which 1t was not clothed by law are
sustained in a powerful argument by Judge
Tuley. This great jurist. in reviewing the
proceedings for the columns of the Chron-
icle, shows that they are in direct oppo-
sition to rules of law established by the
United States supreme court.
In important litigation known to lawyers
as the Illinois railroad tax cases the fed
eral supreme court ruled that no United
States court could regulate the distribu-
tion of a tax or assess property for the
purpose of taxation. The language of the
supreme court, as quoted by Judge Tuley,
is as follows:
THE United States court has no power
to apportion a tax or to make a new as
sessment or direct another to be made by
Omaha daily bee., 1902-05-22

the proper officers Of the state. These ON
cials and the manner In which hey shall
exercise their functions are wholly beyond
the power Of that court when so act
ing. .
The levy Of taxes is not a judicial func-
tion, and its exercise by the constitutions
Of all states and by the theory Of our Eng
lish origin is exclusively legislative"
Could Judges Grosscup and Humphrey
have had this decision before them when
they made their decree directing how the
traction corporations should be assessed
and apportioning the tax which they should
pay as computed by a court commissioner
Or did they not know that such a decision
was in the court reports?
No United States court can direct the Of
ficers Of the state taxing bodies as to the
manner In which they shall exercise their
powers. 1t follows, Of course, that no
United States court can exercise the powers
with which state assessors are invested.
1t has not been an thing In
the history Of American courts for the fed
eral tribunals to override the decisions Of
the state tribunals.
This seems to be a case where an infer
Tor federal court has attempted to override
a decision Of the highest federal court.

REsrRAiNINe TIE P1oKrRs.

Undoubtedly the temporary writ Of in
junction restraining the packers named
in the governments bill from combining
or conspiring to do those things which
are alleged to have been done will be
strictly complied with. What course the
defendants will hereafter take In con-
nection with the Injunction proceedings
is yet to be determined, but IL is snfe
to assume hat the courts order will be
obeyed and that while It remains in
force there will be no combination or
conspiracy among packers to regulate
the prices of cattle and meats. There
viii be during this period a free market
and open competition and it will be
highly interesting and instructive to OBJ
serve the effect
Notwithstanding a very general and
material decline In the consumption Of
meat the prices of live stock have been
ruling very steady and the leading mar
kets yesterday closed with little change.
1t is a not uncommon impression that
the immediate effect Of a restraining
order such as that just issued by Judge
Grosscup would be to cause a decline in
the prices of live stock and meats, but
it will probably be found that its in
huence In this direction Is very small
and that supply and demand will o n
tinue TO be the chief regulator of prices.
While the proceedings instituted by the
government are entirely proper and 1t
is most desirable that the law, II 1t has
been violated by the packers, shall be
enforced, those who expect that this is
going to bring about a sudden and large
fall in meat prices are certain to be dis
appointed. Admitting that there has
been a beef combine and that it has had
more or less to do with the high prices,
still the law Of supply and demand has
not ceased to operate.
The packers who are made defendants
in the case are given ample time in
which to decide on the course to be
taken when the application for a perma-
nent injunction is heard. The leading
attorney for the defendants has indi-
Gated that probably a demurrer will be
filed. The nature of the defense, how
ever, is a matter in which the public
will feel little concern. For the present
the action of the government is regarded
as in the public interest and the general
expectation is that 1t will so prove,
while 1t is also very generally hoped
that the government will be able to
show that the allegations in its bill are
true and that the temporary injunction
should be made permanent

Generous I'm Hour OF distress.

New York Evening Post.
TIL swift and generous response which
the American government and people are
making to the appeal Of mortal misery and
need which comes to us from the stricken
West Indies is, we are glad to think. emil
nently characteristic A more human and
charitable nation does not exist, we firmly
believe. It is partly that we have aoun-
dant means to succor distress and that we
recognize the obligation which goes with
ability. Richesse oblige. But there is
more In 1t than the mere possession Of
wealth. BY instinct and training and long
habit Americans have developed a peculiar
readiness In coming spontaneously to the
relief Of suffering. Our own inheritance
and history, the growth Of voluntary cnari-
ties, the private endowment OF education
on a scale elsewhere unknown. the various
colossal calamities Of our own which have
opened hearts and purses to the victims
a Chicago FIRE, a Johpstown food-all have
somehow conspircd to make us open as day
to melting charity.

QUIZ FRENCH GUESTS.

The delegation of distinguished
Frenchmen who are in this country to
represent their government at the un-
yelling Of the Rochambeau statue will
have an experience of American coHr-
tesy and hospitality which undoubtedly
will be a perennial qualification to them.
They are citizens of a republic for
which our people have a warm friend
ship and whose people there is every
assurance are cordially friendly toward
us. 1t is true that a few years ago
there was some Ill feeling and that for a
time Americans in France were made
to realize this, but that is forgiven If not
forgotten and Americans are glad to
believe that the United States has no
more earnest and cordial friend among
the nations of Europe than the French
republic. In this spirit we receive and
honor her representatives. y
Our ambassador to France, General
Horace Porter, says the mission Of the
French representatives is regarded with
very great interest in France. Not
only the French government but the
people and the press are looking for
ward to the movements of this delega-
ton, said General Porter, with the
keenest interest. 1t is talked about
fully as much as the missions sent to
Spain and England to participate in
the coronation. These distinguished
x,ieitora shouId no shown In the most
hospitable manner that the American
people appreciate their coming and are
glad of the opportunity to demonstrate
the cordiality and the heartiness of our
friendship for France, whose good will
we highly prize and desire to cultivate.

IN HER WEDDING GOWN.

s. z. Kiser in Record-Herald.
Here's a picture of my mother in her wed
ding gown. All me,
I wonder II there ever was a fairer bride
Not a wrinkle on her forehead. not a line
denoting care
Can be traced upon her features; what a.
wealth of wavy hair
Fell away from her fair templesi And the
smile she wore that day
Was the smile Of one. whose sorrowD still
were lurking far away.
I can fancy hat my father. as he gazed
upon her then,
Must have held his head up proudly,
favored DER all other men;
And, beholding the sweet beauty OF the
face depicted here,
/ imagine ! can see him, young and ardent,
standing near
I have loved-and 1 can see him as he
caught her to his breast,
When the strength of youth was in him
and his lips on here's were pressed.
The picture of my mother. taken on her
wedding day,
all lurking far away,
And a fairer bride han she has never
charmed a man, / trow-
Yet there's one whose smile Is sweeter
than her smile was long ago
One whose brow has many burrows
proudly looks sometimes on me,
And I see the fondest, gladdest smile a
maj may hope to see.

to the Public Good.
Indianapolis News.
Patriotism Of course is only another name
for service to the country honestly and
faithfully performed. It does not consist
In ford talk about the flag, in foolish boast
ing about the country that we all love, in
wild and unreasonlng pattisanship, but in
the sober and honest discharge Of whatever
duty falls to our lot and in a single-hearted
devotion to the public good. And in life, as
in the army, good work can be done In any
station. Private and general are entitled
to the same measure Of our love and graft
tude IL they do what they are hidden to do
without thought Of self. There is no man
so humble but he can greatly serve the
country. A man can be a patriot without
being a ONCE holder. So the question is
one Of subordinating oneself to the general
good. We believe that all Of our people
would. in q great crisis, sacrifice them
selves and all that they had for the sake Of
the nation and its flag. But we want to do
these things in the ordinary affairs Of life
and to realize that In such things as this
there is, in a real sense, no large and
small. "All service ranks the same with

COAL OPERATORS uNcoMpsomIs1Se.

There is to be no compromise or con-
cession on the part of the anthracite
coal operators, according to the latest
advices. They are said to have decided
on a no surrender policy and propose to
force the fight against the miners. en-
ploying for this purpose all the re-
sources which they can command. They
will not, IL is stated, consider any prop
osltion for arbitration and It is thought
to be their intention to I'LL the places Of
the strikers with non-union men-a
course which would be very likely to
produce serious trouble.
On the part Of the miners there also
appears to be a disposition to yield
nothing and they are reported to be
considering methods for extending the
strike, by involving the engineers, fire
men and pumpmen at the mines, though
there appears TO be among them consid-
cradle opposition to doing this. The
proposition to call out the bituminous
miners is also being considered, but 1t is
doubtful II a movement of this kind
would be successful. The gravest din
Guilty confronting the strikers is the
question OF subsistence. They were not
well prepared for a prolonged contest.
1t Is stated that there is In the national
treasury of the miners Organization less
than 100000 and no provision for dis
tributing supplies has been made.
Throughout the region covered by the
strike the merchants have stopped Civ
ing credit aud 1t cannot be a great while
before a majority OF the miners will be
unable to pay cash for commodities.
| Then will come the test of their forti.
tude. 1t is predicted that II the strike
shall not end by July there win be much
suffering.
Meanwhile an anthracite coal famine
is threatened. In New York it is said
the supply on hand will be exhausted
within a week. Philadelphia has a two
weeks supply and elsewhere in the
east the situation Is about the same.
The price OF both anthracite and
bituminoHS coal has advanced and win
