We must seek to make loyal Ne- braskans of our Nebraska people, to read braska newspapers and to stand up for the true merits of our good and great state, and to do this we must be loyal Nebraskans ourselves. Let us make some Nebraskans at heart at our coming state fair, welcome them as Nebraska people; let them know that we're glad that they come; respect their dollars, for they are hard-earned, and give them a proper purchasing price. Let us give them a grand fair and exhibition with fit side or evening attractions. Give them a ‘merchants’ carnival' and let the traveling men take part. Let us keep it before the people that we bear the taxes of | our state with them."” CRANDALL DESCRIBES HIS KIND. F. E. Tuttle, C. 0. Leake, Dr. Franklin, C. 0. Lobeck, Z. T. Lindsey, Mr. Foltz, B, B. Guston and others made brief talks, but| Frank G..Crandall made the hit of the day | in his speech on “Qualificaticns That a Suc- | al Traveling n Must Possess.” He sald that, first, he must be a gentleman by | nature and improved by education; he must | be a married man, and have a home and family for an inspiration and a safeguard for sobriety; the drunkards must go; every traveling man of lawful age should be mar- ried, because he fa cnly ‘halt’ a man when he is not. In conclusion, he took a snap rs who hired $40 a month cadets who stood around telling cus- tomers of school girl conquests. He believed that if empleyers heard these beardless am- ssadors on the road they would call t in and put men fn their places. Mr. Cran- dall believed that traveling men could al- ways select good w'ves, because they would exercise the same caution in matrimonial ventures as they would in opening a new account, The convention accepted an invitation to visit Hammond's packing house and Krug's brewery at 1:30 p. m. tcday.

It was strictly a “home Industry and manu- affair, Nebraska manufacturers, J. C. Harpham of Lincoln was toastmaster. At the main table were seated Lieutcnant Governor Moore, Mayor Bemis, Attorney General Churehill, Euclid Martin, Edward Rosewater, Joy Morton, Charles J. Green, G. M. Hitch- cock, Rev. S. Wright Butler, W. A. L. Gib- bon, Adolph Meyer, James Reed, John S. Knox and Louis H. Rheem. Immense streamers bearing the inscription “Patronize Home Industries” were stretched across the wall over the main table and flags and bunting lined the Interior of the bulld- ing. The musical program by Rohr's or- chestra was recelved with hearty favor. Mayor Bemis, n_dellvering his address of weloome, paid a high tribute to traveling men, afer ccmparing them with citizens in other walks of life, He.said that it was an appropriate observance of Washiugtcn's birth- day. The traveling man’s Sunday generally commenced on Friday night and ended Tues- day morning, but the commercial tourist made up for the 10ss of time when he settled down to business, In ccnclusion, the mayor ten- dered his listeners the Keya of the city. James Reed of Nebraska City responded in behalf of the trdveling men, He expressed appreciation of the mayor's remarks, and sa'd that the Nebraska traveling men had found the latchstring, and enjoyed Omaha’s big-hearted generosity. - Regrets were read from Governor Hol- comb and Secretary of the Interior Mcrton. GIBBON ON THE JOBBERS. W. A. L. Gibbon followed with a response to *“The Jobbers,” which he made on fifteen minutes’ notice, as a substitute for I. M. Raymond of L'ncoln, who was scheduled on the toast card, but was unavoidably detained. Practical experience, he said, proved that the jobber was a necessity and a tower of strength in the commerclal world. Mr. Gib- bon made an eloquent plea for the jobbing interests, and, in conclusion, said that it was the jobber that created the market, and t wae the market which attracted the manu- facturer. The Importance of the western job- ber was particularly dwelt upon. The old inadvertence of some local retail dealers in placing orders with eastern jobbers and not recognizing the rights of wes! severely criticized by the speaker. ward” was replet facturing advantages of Nebraska.

If anything, the total amount will exceed $2,000,000. 1t s, in the judgment of many of the older mem- bers, practically impossible to pass these bills. inside of twenty days. In the first place, both bills will have to be considered line by line in the house. They will be considered in the same tedious manner fn the senate. Every item of the several hundred proposed expendi- tures will be fought over fnch by inch. The friends of each state officer and of each state institution will fight vigorously to elther fnerease the amounts given them by the ways. and means committee, or to retain the amounts _recommended by that coms mittee. The same fight will be made in the senate, but not to o great an extent, ag there are many good reasons for the belie that the unwieldy republican majority of the upper house will arrive at its concluslons: much more readily. Twenty days will hardly suffice for the two houses fo get together on the two appropriation bills. CHARTER FIGHT IS ON. The big battle over the Omaha charter is expected to commence in earnest Monday. The house committee on cities and towns, of which Representative Johnston of Omaha ls chairman, and to which the Omaha charter has been referred, has not yet reported the measure to the house. The charter is still ih the senate committee, and, although Senator Crane is not chairman of that committee, he is the ranking member after the chairman and will have charge of the bill. The senate committee will on Monday listen to the argu~ ments of the Omaha people who dre inter- ested in changing the work of the revision committee. Inasmuch as a large number of ‘distihguished Omahans are expected 1o be present, it s probable that the senate will adfourn at noon Monday and give up the: senate chamber.to the committee and its vis- itors, The painstaking work of the consoli- dated revision committee that met every week during November and December. of last year is to be attacked from many sides, Bvery important amendment that seems to be demanded by the city of Omaha is to be opposed by men who wish to see no changes in the present charter. The meeting before the senate committee will encble the people of Omaha to discover the identity of the various interests that are to come in conflict. One of the most radical of the proposed amendments to the Omaha charter is the one providing for the appointment of a tax coms missfoner. This, with the cne providing for a large increase in the assessed valuation of city property, will be the object of a bitter assault, The proposal to make the city engl= neer ex-officio chairman of the Board of Pubs lic Works will also be opposed vigcrously, Those who cla'm to know say that the avend= ment which permits of municipal ownership of the eanal is to be contested. In addition to these leading amendments, there are a large number of very dull private axes that are to be brought to Lincoln Monday, with the hope of having them sharpened on the lggislative grindstone. OPPOSED TO ENLARGEMENT. The first amendment propos=d to the Omahs charter provides that the corporate limits of the city shall be fixed and determined by the mayor and council within one year alter tne passage of the act, the Incorporate limits not to exceed twenly-six square mlles, including any township or village organization within guch limits. A proviso is added so that any city of the first or second class adjolning the city may at any time, without reference to population or area, In addition to the area and distance above limited, be included in and become a part of the clty, upon a vote of a majority of the citizens of both citles This amendment in its entirety will enlarge the corporate limits of Omaha by the extent of one square mile, the present limitation being twenty-five square miles, The amends ment also retalng, in the shape of the added provise, the authority to annex the city of South Omala at any time the voters of the two cities may agree upon the terms of an= nexation, The present charter prevents the increase of the city’s limits until such time as a state or national census shall show an added population of 20,000, This will pre- vent any enlargement of the city boundaries. until after 1900, as no state census will be authorized at the present session. The new charter provides that after the city limits arc fixed at twenty-six square miles they may be increased by the mayor and eity council after five years from the time the act i approved. There is a decided opposition In some quare ters to the proposition to extend the city's limits, on tho ground t uch extension will add to the cost of malntaining schools, fire and police departments, ete. The most strenus ous opposition to enlarging the city comes from Dundee Place. Ono of the most important amendments to the new charler s the change in section 6, b, in addition 1o the powers of the eity cady enumerated in the present charter, provides that “no contract, franchise of exs tension of any contract or franchise for & period of more than two years shall at any time be made or entered into without first having been submiited to a vote of the people at an election held in accordance with the law governing the voting of bonds,'* This provision does not apply Lo any guars antee for paving or guarantees for other work done or material furnished to the city, or to contracts for street sweeping or cleaning, BOARD OF HEALTH, The proposed amendments 1o the new charter also make a most radical change In the personnel of the Board of Health, Undep the existing charter the Board of Health 18 made up of the mayor, the commissioner of health, the chief of police, the plumbing Inspector 1 twa members of (he city council. The new eharter provides that the hoard shall consist of the mayor, commis= of health and the chief of police. This amendment legislates the plumbing inspector been introdiced in the senate and placed on general file which provides for the appoint= ment of a plumbing inspector at a salary of $2.000 per annum. The new amendment provides that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners shall co-operate with the ent of all thinking | tion.
