THE BER PUBLISHING (0., PROPS, EWATRR, Editor. Every member of the American house of lords will now have his thousand dol- lar clerk, Thus has a long felt want at last been supplied. Cororapo is entitled to six delogates in the next national republican conven- tion, and a desporate tussle as to who shall go and who shall stay at home has already begun Tur senate has voted a thousand dol- lar clerk to every senator who is chair- man of a committee. That will relieve the junior senator of Nebraska from drawing on his salary for a clerk. I is hard to keep Jim Brisbin down. He now suggests to congress what it ought to do for the army. The bestthing that congress can do for the army is to retire such blatherskites as Jim Brisbin, Tur two Tennessee quacks, who have been taken in custody by a Memphis sherifl’ and lodged in the Omaha jail, are endeavoring to mollify the Herald by a promise of advertising patronage. They propose to locate permanently in Omaha, after their release. i = Now that General Grant and Senor Romero have each in turn given assur- anco that they own no stock in the Mex- ican railroads, and have no personal in- terest in the proposed reciprocity be- tween that country and the United States, it is safe to say that the Mexican treaty will be ratified, Drravering bank officials have a shin- ing example in the sagacity displayed by the president and cashier of the Lead- ville bank, who, when they were unable to stand the run of their customers, gave leg bail. It was probably the safest thing that could be done in such a place as Leadville, Daxora is pretty well represented at Washington just now. Governor Ord- ‘way and son are there to prevent the re- moval of the old man, Thero are a host of ex-governors, ex-judges, ex-post sut- lers, ex-Indian traders, ex-delegates at the_capitol city. It is not so .cold Washington as it is in Dakota. Iz costs a great deal of money to bury a congressmen. The vouchers for funer- al expenses of the late Representative Hawk, of Illinois, who died during the ferty-first congress, shows that the funeral cost the government 1n the neigh- borhood of $3,200. Among the articles purchased on thefuneral trip were several «cases of Apollarinis and Bethesda waters, and such suggestive articles as cork- acrows, goblets, &o. Anpey's Italian opera company has ‘been virtually torn to pieces by the Chi- cago critics, who are unanimous in the yerdict that the troupe would have been mobbed in Italy for the way it butchered “‘Lohengrin,” the third act of which was omitted on account of Campanini’s ill- ness caused by too much indulgence in the flowing bowl. Col. Mapleson, of the rival troupe, Her Majesty’s Opera com- puuy, is in an ecstasy of glee. SusaN B, ANTHONY ran against the wrong Post when she addressed a letter to the Wyoming congressional delegate asking him whether, upon a recent occa- sion, if he had been present, he would have cast his ballot in favor of woman suffeage. Mr. Post's answer was short, and not very sweet. It was simpiy the monosyllable, “No.” Mr, Post must be PULVERIZING THE RUM POWER, To the Editor of Tix Bre, Laxcors, Januaty 24.—Supposing that Tar Ber is always with the people and for the people, regardless of the few that food upon the oarnings of honest labor, without doing any themselves or render- ing an equivalent, we take the liberty to ask a few questions, Is Tur Bee in favor of submitting the saloon question to a vote of the people? Have the peo- ple any right to govern this country by choosing what they want and rejecting what they do not want? Is it the duty of good e1tiz to swallow everything that politicians, prompted by apetite and love of gain, see fit to cram down their throats! Has T Ber any doubt that the majority in Nebraska stands with the majority in lowal Why did not the Tarmers’ Alliance take up this question? Ten thousand more ragged farmers loose their homes by our saloon system than by railroads, H. W. Harpy, Tue Bre has always been in tavor of the full and free discussion of every vital issue, and it does not hesitate to express its views frankly and fearlessly about the saloon question, We concede at the outset that drunkenness is one of the groatest of social evils, and we also con- code the right of society, that is the peo- ple, to rogulate and restrain the traffic in intoxicants in such a manner as will most offectively protect 1ty members from the terriblo effects of intemperarce. In execr- cising the power te “‘govern this country by chooing what they want, and what they do not want,” majorities must ne- cessarily respect tho individual rights of minorities, If it were within the power of tho people, by mere majorities, to de- crec what all men should eat and drink and wear, it would also be within their power to dictate what they should be- lieve and how, when and where they should worship. The framers of our re- publican system of government have very wisely included in the bill of rights the liberty of conscience, and of person. The people can be tyrranical just as well as monarchs, and wajorities can become as despotic as any autocrat. 1t becomes a serious question whether prohibition as a means of enforcing tem- perance in drinking would not be an abridgement of individual liberty totally unwarranted under a republican form of government. But why should the saloon question be submitted to a vote of the people of Nebraska? Granting that the majority in Nebraska stands with the majority in Towa, in favor of “pulveriz- ing the rum power,” what would be gained by such a submission? Have we not already a great deal botter laws on our statute books than the Iowa amend- ment? Have not the majority in Ne- Draska the power to prohibit the sale of liquor in any community where public sentiment favors prohibition? If the poople of Lincoln or Lancaster county are in favor of closing all the saloons why don’t they close them!? Is it not true that the sale of liquor in Nebraska is only tolerated where a majority of the peoplo are in favor of licensing the sale of liquor, and if the majority are opposed to closing the saloons why should the minority persist in over- ruling the will of the majority? Does not the experiment in Kansas show that prohibition is a failure wherever public sentiment does not sustain it? In Ne- braska, with the high license and local option systems, there is more real tem- perance than there is in Kansas, where hundreds of saloons are vending cheap whisky, without restraint and without contributing to the expense of the gov- ernment. On the other hand there are hundreds of small towns and villages in Nebraska without a saloon, and in the larger towns and cities the worst features of the traffic have been eliminated by the closing of the low dives and dens. The saloons of Omaha and Lincoln alone puy over $100,000 a year into the school fund. The saloons of Leavenworth, Atchison and Topeka do not pay a dollar. Which is the more practical system! Theso are stubborn facts which all the zealots and enthusiasts who are *“‘pulver- izing the rum power"” cannot successfully overcome. Right here let us ask, why do the temporance people shrink from an active enforcoment of our present lawa? Why do they clamor for more law, when they cannot enforce that already on tho statute books! Let them do tkeir duty as citizens in the enforcoment of the laws, and we are with thom. We do not propose to fight wind- mills, nor do we regard it as part of the business of the Farmers' Alliance to make a temperanco crusade.

They murdered bocause they hated their victims, and no other aim than malicious destruction of life. The governor has saved the state two logal murders, but his ill-advised clemency will encourago assassins in their bloody work,under the assurance that murderers are not hung in Nebraska, It is also an incontive to rosort to lynch law, and gives tho stato a reputation abroad that i not likely to migration, CONGRESSIONAL NEPOTISM. Many of the senators of the United States have the happy faculty of taking care of their near relatives by providing them with lucrative government posi- tions, and the almost general nepotism is new being somewhat severely criti- cised. The senators who are chairmen of committees have committoo clerkships worth 86 per day at their disposal, and asa rule theso clerkships are filled by tho senators’ sons, The senators,’who are not chairmen of committees, have just been allowed a thousand dollar clerk each, and in most instances the places will probably be filled by their sons or nephews. Some scnators have found places for two or more of their sons as well as for other relatives, It would seem that the American houso of lords propose to keep everything in the family if possible, They argue no doubt that as the places are to be filled, their relativas if competent might a8 well have them as anybody. It is a fair conclusion that—the cus- tom of dealing out soft places to rela- tives having |boen established—the people hereafter instead of elocting senators individually will virtually olect whole families to senatorial ‘seats and ad- junct positions. This may seem emi- nently proper to some politicians, but we are afraid that the people will eventually put their veto upon congressional nepo- tism and declare that the distribution of federal prizesshall cover a more extended field than the immediate circle of sena- torial relatives. The extent to which nepotism has been carried by the United States senators is certainly somewhat sur- prising. Senator Harris, of Tonnessee, has one son employed as a clerk in the secre- tary's office at an annual salary of $2,220 and another clerk to his committee on epidemic diseases at & per diem salary of $6. The senator receives $5,000 as his salary; one son, as betore stated, gets 82,220, and on an average of seven months for the long session and three for the short, another son will re- ceivo 81,800, making $9,020 as the an- nual income of the Harris family. Whother this senator has any other rela- tives employed in the departments is unknown. Senator Mahone's son re- coives §7 a day from the committee on public buildings and grounds; Senator McMellan's son is clerk to the committee on commerce, with an annual salary of $2,220; Senator Lapham's son is clerk of the committee on woman's suffrage, of which his father is chairman, and he draws from the treasury in the neighbor- hood of $1,800 in each congress. Senator George, of Mississippi, has a son who is assistant keeper of stationery at a salary of $1,800. The clerk of the com- mittee on engrossed Dbills is T. H. Sauls- bury, and it is presumed that he is of re- mote kin to Senator Eli Saulsbury, of Delaware, who is chairman of that com- mittee. It is said that the relatives of several senators have been provided with places under the doorkeepar and ser- geant-at-arms of the house. Ome of Sen- ator Conger's sons is now postmaster, while another is drawing per diem pay and traveling expenses as a special agent of the pension office, Senator Jones has a brother who is & clerk in the sergeant- at-arms’ office. One of Senator Cock- rell's sons is a postmaster in €olorado, and Leigh Chalmers, who has a position in tho secretary’s office, is a brother of J. R. Chalmers, of Mississippi. The samo condition of affairs exists among the congressman, So many sons, nephews, cousins and other relatives of senators hold subordinate offices that a cortain sonator, who probably has no relatives to provide for, complains that he finds it a delicate watter to ask a door-keeper, messenger or other s ubor- dinate to render him service lest he may be giving offonse to the relative of some senatorial colloague. Aunother senator proposes to remedy this unpleasant situ- tion by an exchange botween the twe houses, so that senators’ sons may be assistant doorkeepers, messengers and committee clerks in the house, the sons of representatives to hold similar posi- tions in the senate. But even that, it is admitted, would not entirely remedy the awkwardness, Nobody, however, has so far suggosted that senators shall not seek to fill these subordinate places with their rolatives, The action of Representative trenty,in whioh thoy probably havo but | thay can at tho awloous, 1 thoro wore| e, . 40000, ponties re s Liftle faith.

Besides, if there is no room on a reservation for an Indian who would like to work a farm, there is plenty of good land else- where, Some plan of separating Indi from their tribes and lotting them bo in- fluenced by steady white neighbors will be exactly what the Indian and the gov- ernmant need.
