most superstitious class of persons in

If Nebraska. like other embrio
states IN the governmental pol
itv OF the United States, was
vested by its organic law, which,
for all purposes Of local admin.
istration was its constitution,
with executive, legislative and

their several stations, while the
legislative consisting OF two
distinct bodies, the council or
upper house, and 4 house OF
representatives., were to be
elected by the people oil the
territory. 1t comes in my way
just now To describe the first
election for members OF the ter.
ritorial legislature that came
under my observation. 1t Is
proper to say that while the
legislature OF Il territory has
the power 10 legislate on all
matters affecting the local III.
terests OF its people within the
scope OF the grant of such pow
er in the fundamental law, its
acts nevertheless, III subject
% be set aside or annulled by
the congress OF the general gov
eminent, much rs the judiciary
of Il state may do the same with
the BY Laws of a municipal cor.
poration for nnreasonableness
etc. The reason for this is fur
nished by the fact that Il law is
n rule prescribed by the super
ior power in a state, and is dis.
tinguishable from Il bylaw of
one of its governing agencies
by the further fact that the
courts are bound to obey it as
we'll as the individual citizens.
IN that sense the acts of 4 ter.
ritorial legislature and the BY
Laws, or ordinances Of cities,
and other municipal corpora
tions'of Il state, are i'll the nd
ture of police regulations, and
not being prescribed by the Il
perior power, are subject To re-
peal or annullment by il, il in
