Political.

AT the citizens caucus last Sat-
urday night the republicans
named all the candidates for the
several offices except mayor, 1t
was ''non-political until candi-
date for mayor was named" then
there seemed to. be a sudden
change. This was not because
the lot fell upon the writer to
stand as a candidate to conserve
harmony. Most of the republic
cans knew as we'll as we did that
we had not sought and did not
desire the nomination nor the
Office and only consented to allow
our name used just before noon
of the last day. Yet we are in.
formed that our opponent was
"tendered support by a number
of republicans" Personally we
are pleased we were not success
full, but Notwithstanding that, il
does not show very high re
gard for party, nor is it calculat
ed to inspire confidence with the
rank and file. There were those
we are pleased to note, that wer'
trle as steel and we felt highl,
complimented for their effectiv,
work-which was prompted sol,
by loyalty.

AT the caucus last Saturday
night a resolution introduced by
N. T. Gadd was adopted which
provides for submitting the ques-
ton of licensing billiard halls,
pool tables and bowling alleies to
the vote of the people. The
question of the legality of such a
vote was raised but by the large
majority with which the resolu-
ton was passed it would indi-
cate that the people are ready to
have the question tested law OF
no law.

A Governors Prayer.

The Burlington papers are
making considerable comment on
the visit of Gov. Mickey to that
city. He came there to attend
the funeral of his uncle, the late
John r. Barnes, and speaking of
the funeral the Evening Journal
says:
Those who attended the
funeral yesterday will ever re-
member the governor of Nebraska
not so much because of his posi-"
ton as because of prayer he
offered at the bier of the beloved
dead, to look upon whose face
for the last time he had made
the trip from the executive man
sion at Lincoln to that humble
country home. The pastor who
conducted the services, after
reading a passage OF scripture,
called upon the governor to pray,
and there, in the presence of
death, the chief executive of the
state of Nebraska knelt with the
simple country folk, the COM
panions of his youth, and the
neighbors of his father, and
prayed, prayed as those who
heard him never had heard one
pray before; simple, pure,
childish prayer that touched the
heart of everyone. And as he
prayed for comfort for the widow
and consolation for all who had
been bereaved, the tears trickled
down his cheeks as he, a simple
man among men, addressed in
prayer the God of the universe.
1t was touching scene and one
that will live long in the memory
of those who Witnessed"

ample of what the sons of Des

Those who advocate a citizens
ticket on the theory that politics
should not figure in city elections
may be able to see since last Sat-
urday night that politics prevail
just as distinctly in a mass con-
vention as had there been two
parties assembled in separate
meetings. Parties line up for
their political preferences, if they
are loyal to their party the same
as they would were it composed
of one organization. The only
difference is it gives your enemy
in the ranks a mask.

Dave Mercer, ex-congressman,
failed to get the appointment for
census director. S. N. d. North
of Mass, was the lucky man.
Mr.. Mercer is one of those re-
publicans that could be counted
only when he was a candidate.
AT all other times he was in
Washington or somewhere else
when the drawers of water and
hewers of wood at home needed
his help. He has made his owr
bed and if the covering is toe
narrow to suit him he SHOULD
blame himself. But instead it i:
said he is now coming back to
Nebraska to get even with his
political opponents, which in
cludes the Nebraska senators who
did not endorse him for an ap
pointment. =.

The light attendance and the
lack of interest at the republican
caucus would indicate that the
loyalty of some people depends
upon whether there is anything
in sight for them. One new
conner remarked that "that was
a different brand of republicans
than he was used to-"

The Ramsey elevator bill pass
ed both the house and senate
Tuesday. This bill provides for
the railroad companies giving to
all persons and associations rea-

porting property over railroads
and equal facilities to all who
may desire to erect grain eleva-
tors at any station or side track
on the road, switch or connection.
Provided the elevator hereafter
to be constructed shall not cost
less than $4,000. This we re.

to protect them against the ma.

We inadvertently failed to note
the announcement last week of
the candidacy of J. o. Taylor of
Berwyn, who announced himself
as candidate for sheriff subject to
the will of the republican county
convention. Mr.. Taylor needs
no introduction to the republi-
cans of Custer county. He has
been one of the wheel horses
through all the adversities of the
past. Most of the time for the
past eighteen years he has been
a member of the county central
committee and a good portion of
the time one of the executive
committee. His services was
freely given without compensa-
ton or hopes of rward.

each day which ones shall come

One of the bills "sifted' out
by the Senate committee is II. r.
1856, providing for the depositing
of county money in banks on the
payment of , per cent interest,
and providing that the money be
deposited in banks outside the
county where the county banks
have pooled and refused to pay
interest, as has often been the
case heretofore. There is nc
question that this bill will reach
the governor in few days, and
will result in the correction of
the abuse of handling county
funds.

Especial Correspondence }
lincoln. Neb. March IL, 1902.

Lincoln, Neb,, March 10, 1902.
The House spent the greater
part of last week in the consider
alton of the revenue bill, several
evening sessions being held for
that purpose. Great Roadway
was made and it is expected that
the House will finish the con-
sideration of the bill this week
and send it along to the Senate.
The members of the latter body
have been carefully watching the
amendments offered by the
house, and the general belief is
that they will be generally ac-
copied there, and the bill passed
on short consideration.

Some of the objections urged
against the new bill at the start
off were that it would increase
the taxes of farmers by takin &
the valuation in the winter when
they had large amount OF stock
or grain on hand. This was
changed by the House, and the
date of assessment will be the
same as under the old law. Stock
under six months of age is ex-
pressly exempted from assess
ment. The proposition to make
taxes first lien on personal pro-
perty from and after the first of
April was changed, so that the
date is now the first of October.

The principal contest in the
consideration of the bill, there
fore, hung on the proposition adj
vanced by the democratic plat
form, that railroads should be as
sessed on the basis of their stocks
and bonds. The fusionists were
lined up on this question by their
party whip, and some few re-
publicans were also caught by
the plausible argument. The
debate on the question lasted two
days, and on the final vote the
fusion arrangement was defeated
by vote of So to 80, the Douglas
county members generally joining
with the democrats. During the
progress of the discussion on this
bill it developed that the largest
railroad system in the state
would under the democratic eX'
pertinent be assessed practically
on capitalization of $40, 900, its
stocks and bonds having been all
withdrawn by the Northern Sc
curity Company, nonresident
corporation. This and some
other features of the proposition
showed that the democratic
amendment was either foolish Oh
purposely vicious. The leading
fusionists admitted that they
were advocating it in order tc
furnish an issue for the coming
campaign. The bill as finally
amended in this section provide:
for arriving at the valuation o.
railroads from every obtainable
source, being more stringent thar
the old law.

An attempt was made during
the week to have shifting COM
mittee appointed in the House,
but the move was failure. The
members decided that until the
revenue bill was out of the way
and start was made on the
the regular appropriation bills,
there was no need for the services
of a sitting committee. 1t is
expected that the appropriation
bills will be taken up this week.
There will be an effort to dispose
of them and get them over to the
Senate in time so as to avoid the
haste and confusion which has
always marred and sometimes
disgraced the closing hours of
past sessions.
