Some of those Dodge county law offi- cers who proved so successful in cap- turing three murderous bandits might take a try at the Cndahy reward. Several imitations of the Omaha kid- naping have been sprang in other parts of the count but not one of them has come up to the Omaha standard. That long-coming Indian supply deps has at last been located and it s now to be hoped that It will encounter a wave of expunsion from the very beginning. Omaha icemen complain that the out look for a good crop Is discournging. Let the icemen wait awhile; it is a trifle early for their hopes to be blasted by a frost. Colonel Bryan is still delivering his lecture on “Ancient Landmarks.” Aun- clent history is a much more agreeable topie for his discussion than the marks made by the closing century. The leglslature is entering upon its second week without having run up agalost any obstructive snags. It is to be hoped it will have smooth sailing up to the day of adjournment, Mrs. Lease has started the new cen- tury by swearing off on divorce suits and announcing a reconcilintion with her husband.

When we are told that “the fusionists gave Nebraska the best government the state ever had,” as is asserted by the recognized official organ of the former state house ocenpants, and that “they hand over to the repub lean party a model state government for honesty, efficiency and cconomy, te deemed from bankruptey aund disge destroyed credit and disreputable man agement, and leave the whole machinery of government in better condition than In any other state in all the west,” it Is piling it on pretty high. While our fusion friends persist in patting themselves on the back the party should not forget the conditions which have att nded the fusion admin Istration.

A general prosperity of the whole country, shared in to its full ex tent by Nebraska, has restored to the people the power to pay curvent and de- linquent taxes, which in turn has re Inforced the state eredit and enabled it to wipe out its bonded debt and reduce the interest upon outstanding obliga tions, es con- If a fusion administration were alone to be dited with Nebraska's fmproved condition, , the states surrounding us, which have been under continued re- publican control, onght to show by con- trast with Nebraska. But such is not the case, except perhaps that Nebraska had fallen lower and has come to the front with the best. On the other hand, the outgoing fusion administration is properly held accountable for failure to redeen many pledges made for it, which, if honestly executed, would have o's forward quickened materially the sty march, For the fusionists to set themsel up as the pars ridiculous as would be a charge ¥ re- publicans that nothing good ever came out of the fusion regime in Nebraska.

People will take the stories about re- publican members of the legislature re- fusing to go into senatorial caucus with | several grains of allowance.
