In A Very Bad Fix

The republicans of N Nebraska have
got themselves into such tangle that
there is danger that the state will be
without government. It comes about
in this way: The legislature passed q
law allowing officers to give bond
BY some guarantee company instead of
a personal bond. Hundreds of officers
all over the state have awaited them
selves of that privilege. Now comes
the supreme court and knocks the law
out on some technicality and the Of
ficers having failed to file legal bond,
find that they have no right to hold the
offices, and the offices in fact are va
cant. Among them is the state treas
urer. His term expires in a few days
and he must qualify for his next term
nv giving a personal bOld of at least
5000 900, or he can not DC sworn IN
TO get bond of that amount requires
time and it will be difficult for him to
do it. So the state will be without
treasurer until the legislature can pass
new law that will satisfy the supreme
court. All the state officers are in the
same fix, but as the amount of their
bonds is small, they will probably have
no trouble in getting them. What is
to be done about the acts Of the state
and other officers who have been ille-
gally holding them is "a question to
! be decided in the future.

the Omaha bankers to go on his bond,

equity in throwing the loss of crimi-
nal officers upon four Or five private
citizens. If the people elect villains
and criminals to Office, the people them
selves should suffer the loss. If the
people want to insure themselves
against embezzlement thy have a per-
feet right to do SO, just as they would
insure the public buildings against
loss by fire. Having by their constitu-
ton made it impossible to carry on
the government without Il few private
citizens taking all the risk Of loss, the
only appeal that can be made is to
patriotism. No man owes such a pub
lie duty to the state. Hundreds have
lost their all and impoverished their
families by doing it.
The last man who should be asked
to do it is the banker. In fact good
public policy would make it criminal
for a banker, while il charge of the
deposits of the public, to go on any
sort OF bond. Many thousands of
innocent persons have been bankrupted
by bankers assuming such liabilities.
State and county deposits are not now
sought by bankers because there is no
profit in them. They have to put up a
bond, pay two per cent interest and
LIT they are reliable bankers, they will
keep half of the deposit always on
hand, for these deposits are payable
on demand.
