T) PROBLEMS Investment of the School Funds in State Warrants Discussed by Lawyers, UNIQUE DEFENSE OF THE TREASURER hinks the Purchase of Securities ms Co templated Would o Constracd s Di- verting Educational Fands f Their Proper Channels, [COLN, March 31.—(Special to The ce.)—The case In which the governor of Nebraska s secking an order from th supreme court requiring the state treasurer to carry out the provisions of the a in 1891, providing for the purchase of state warrants with the permanent school fund, is attracting the attention of the constitutional lawyers of Lincoln. It 1s diffienlt to esti- mate the importance of this law. At the time it was passed there were ontstanding state warrants drawing 7 per cent Interest amounting to nearly $600,000. At the same time the state treasurer held in his own possession $500,000 of idle money belonging to the public school fund. The legislature could see no business sense in paying 7 per cent interest on a floating indebtedness to private parties when it could casily interest to the permanent school fund, which was recelving no benefit. Thercupon it passed the following very brief law “‘When any state warrant, issued in pursi- ance of an appropriation made by the leg lature and secured by the levy of a tax, shall be presented to the state treasurer for pay ment, and there shall not be money in the proper fund to pay said warrant, the state treasurer shall pay the amount from any funds in the state treasury belonging to the permanent school fund, and shall hold said warrant as an investment for said fund . Although this law has been on the statute Dooks for three years no attempt has over heen made to enforce it until last Januar Then the state treasurer interposed an obje tion and the matter found its way into the sapreme court in the shape of a friendly suft. When the arrangements for the suit were made the sole controversy seemed to ba over the question as to whether the treasnrer should himself purchase he war- rapt or whether the Board of Educational Lauds and Funds should purchu<c them nu‘sr as soon as the case was filed in the supreme court the attorney for the state treasurer filed a demurrer, in whicl he at- tacked the constitutionality of the law itself. In view of the importance of the case, it will be Interesting to note the argument advanced by the attorney for (he state treasurer in support of his attack upon the constitutionality of the la In (he briet filed with the clerk of the supreme court Attorney J. H. Ames advances, umong others, the following “If the act of 1891 is valld, the consti- tutional inhibition of transferring any of the funds set t for educational pur- poses to any fund for other uses is wholly nugatory Of course, it is per- fectly evident to every one that if a war- rant can be drawn upon an exhansted fund and paid out of the school fund, the practical result is precisely the same as the transfer of the amount to the former fund and the payment of the warrant therefrom, and we are doubtless not called upon to cite authorl- ties to the effect that that cannot be done indirectly which is forbidden to be done directly.” It does not change the nature of the polar bear to call him a pet poodie, and it does not change the nature of this transaction to call the warrants ‘“scenrie ties,” and the payment of them a ‘‘pur- chase” or an “investment.” MARRIED IN POLICE COURT Mayor Wier's anti-vice campaign took a new shoot this afternoon. Yesterday at a meeing of philanthropic ladies and gontle- men, called with a view to devising ways and means to assist the mayor in his war- fare against the social evil, it was con- cluded that a committee to be composed of representative ministers of the gospel would sreatly assist the blind goddess of the police court in piling up the fines against the scarlet sisterhood. Accordingly, vesterday morning four well known ministers, Messrs, Ludden, Gregory, Curtis and Morgan, oc- cupied seats at the right of the police jndge when he called the daily list of mulefuctors up for trial. As a result of the daily police raid May Davenport and George Randall were brought into court. Randall is a hackman and the girl has been fined for prostitution several times in the past year. They have lived together as man and wife for about a year and a half and at one time secured a license to wed; but they probably imagined that domestic felicity was a casily attained without a marriage license and the services of a parson, for they never used the license. The girl was fined $100 Neither could pay. This morning when the ministers came around to the police court they were wel- comed by a wedding party. ¢ and ¥ were and thus save the “married by Rev. Mr. Ludden, escaped the payment of their fincs, WOMEN NEED NOT REGISTI Tho annual spring controversy over the question as to whether or not women en- titled to vote at school elections must regis- ter, came a little late this year, hut arrive Just the same.

Dr molars, DAILY BEE; APRIL EVENTS IN §OUTH OMAHA Becond Taxpayer Political Situation, SOMETHING ABOUT,, THE CANDIDATES | m Interest in the Apprdaching City Eleetion Increasing '-Klll“fl’ mughters' Fare well to Mrs. Walker - Other Noews from the Magic City, - I read the article in The Bee of March 31, explaining the political situation in South Omaha and showing why Ed Johnston should be elected mayor of the city, The article says that two years ago thie same citizens’ movement put a ticket in the fleld and was overwhelmingly successful and acknowledges that the democratic party had becoms so corrupt that a reform was ab. solutely necessary. The rallying cry was re- form and a reduction in taxes, But in spite of Mr. Johnston's figures, ob- tained through J. J. Points, the last adminis- tration has been one of reform and reduction in taxes. The article does not state that the present administration has had to pay over $13,000 old judgments left as a legacy during Mr. Johnston's term as a councilman Of course the figures as shown look large, but any citizen who is a taxpayer will only have to look at his tax receipts to be convinced that his taxes have yeally been reduced. In ‘IE!‘I the levy was mills, in 1892 it was 35 mills and In 1893 it wax 201 mills. Now this shows a decided reduction. The article does not state that the city has grown like a mushroom and conseques tly valuations have materially increased and while it takes more money to run the city there are more people to pay the taxes. It shows conclusively that this has been a reform administration, and the people ap- preclate this fact and will vindicate it when they go to the polls to vote on next Tuesday 1 have written this article for The Bee, in answer to the communication of March i realizing the fact that The Bee desires show justice to all. TAXPAYER. Something About Candidates. The citizens' candidate for police judge, Mr. George W. Howe, is a man past 60 years of age, and self-made. He was born and reared upon a farm in Knox county, Hlinois, and received but a common school education, but by close and continued appli- cation, made himself competent to teach the common branches, which vocation he fol- lowed for three years, with marked success. He served an apprenticeship at carpentry, which vocation he has followed since residing in South Omala from about October, 1884, until about August of last year. During his_carly life, and while working at the carpenter’s bench, he took up the study of law, and was admitted to practice in the district court of lowa September 8, 1 and the supreme court of lowa June 6, 188; He was admitted to practice in the courts of Nebraska November 11889, and is now a member of the Dougli connty bar. Mr. Howe is a man of brodd and liberal mind, fully competent to dinister the depart- ment of justice in the' Magic City, and if elected will do credit to the position to which the people exalt him. Thomas Hoctor is''a man who can be trusted by the people. ~ Sonth Omaha is his home and has been for years. All of his interests are here and he intends to remain. For this and many other good reasons it is common talk that Me. Hoctor will secure the highest vote of . any man ou either, ticket. James 1.

A. Walters gave the citizens of South Omaha an'idea of his orth both as council- man and mayor while in ‘office before. He was active, cautious, willing and honorablé™ under all circumstances and left a record which he can now point to with considerable satisfaction. The fact that Mr. Walters is vardmaster at the stock yards is a sufficient guaranty of his business capabilities. Del Pearce is a young man of moral char- acter and good business qualities. He has served as deputy city clerk to the entire sat- isfaction of the council. John J. Ryan is making a quiet, indi- vidual canvass for the city council.

Keel & Son of Coal Run, Ky. It is a favorite because it can always be depended upon. It loosens a cold, relieves the lungs and effects a permanent cure. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is freely given, as it liquifies the tough mucus and makes it easier to expec- torate. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by druggists. e TROUBLE WITH THE TAILORS. Nonunion Men Complain of Interference from Their Striking Brothron. The differences between Frank J. Ramge and the Journeyman Tailor’s union were under consideration in Judge Ferguson's court yester where attorneys were argu- ing the application for a dissolution of the temporary restraining order which was issued some time ago at the instance of the plain- tiff to enjoin the members of the union from interfering with his business The trouble originated over a reduction of wages some time last February. The union men refused to accept the cut and went out in a body. Non-unfon tailors were im- ported from other cities, but Mr. Ramge claims that the union men threatened and insulted the new men until most of them were afraid to continue in his service. Io applied to the courts for an injunction to prevent the unfon from interfering in his affairs, and a temporary restraining order was . grafited pending the hearing of the case. The defendants applled for a dis- solution of the restraining order and the case is belleved to rest on the decision of the court on the application The plaintift introduced a number of af- fidavits for the purpose of showlng that his men had been repeatedly threatencd and insulted by the striking tailors. visiting friends Van Dusen has Methodist church dinner Tuesday, Bluffs 1s 2411 Williams of Council and Mrs. B.
