Men-I minger, Mdison; Robert Furnas, Jndge AVenIOTer Said to Be a Formidable Candidate. Politicians who discuss the filling of the vacancy In the Sixth congressional district express various views as to the probable choice by fusionists. It is conceded that fusion between the populists and the democrats is necessary for the success of a popocrat. Some believe ex-Governor Holcomb can secure the nomination at the hands of fusionists if he desires It. A few politicians who are acquainted with the district express grave doubts of the ex-governor's ability to secure the indorsement of democrats, but friends of the ex-governor think he could be elected without the democratic indorsement.

The dissatisfaction of democrats over appointments made while he was in oft flee is openly expressed, and if he comes up for office either in the Sixth district or as a candidate for judge of the supreme court, this feeling may take the form of determined opposition. Whether ex-Governor Holcomb will try for the nomination for congress or for judge of the supreme court is still a matter of doubt. His wishea recently were in the direction of the supreme Judgeship, and he has always desired to be upon the bench because the duties were more to his liking than the wild hustle that a wide-awake congressman must indulge In in order to keep in office and secure favors for his state or district- However the salary of $5,000 that goes with a seat in congress is said to be very tempting, though those who are in a position to know declare there is more in dollars and cents in a state office for a term of six years at $2,500 a year than there Is in a seat in congress for a term of two vears at J5.C00 a year. Now that Senator Allen Is again on the district bench and in a position to become a candidate for Judge of the supreme court, ft is rumored that Mr. Holcomb desires more than ever to put up his lightning rod for that position for fear that Senator Allen's rod might be hit first.

The fusionists who will undoubtedly strive for the nomination in the Sitth district are Jurta-e Neville of North Platte, Judge Westover of Chadron and Judge Sullivan of Broken Bow. M. F. Harrington of O'Neill has refused the nomination and he wi'l do so again. In order to secure perfect fusion it is predicted that Judge West-over, now on the district beich, will be the nominee and that Judge C.

C. Patterson of Rushville will be appointed to succeed him on the bench In case the election goes that way. Mr. Pit-terson is a democrat and Judge West-over is a poDUlist. Great troub'e was experienced last fall in nrmging abiut fusion in the Sixth district, but it is believed that Judge Westover is acceptable to both parties.

He would be especially pleasing to democrats if they could secure the aopointment of a democrat to succeed him on the district bench. This co'iid be nmg-d with the governor beforehand so that there would be no danger of a slip. Among the republicans mentioned for the nomination Norris Brown of Kearney is supposed to have the insida track if he desires to make the race again. He was defeated last fall by the late Congressman Greene by only about 2.0i0. a large reduction of the fusion majority.

Senator Reynolds of Dawes county is also mentioned as a candidate. There has been mieh speculation in regard to the disposition of the salary that would have gone to the late Congressman Greene. An ex-contrreFsman explained yesterday that it is the practice of congress to give the widow of a deceased member pay for a full year if he has served a part of a year, and also to pay the successor from the dite of the death. If this practice is fil-lowed Mrs. Greene will receive nearly S5.000 from congress.

The salary of a congressman is drawn monthly, but not In advance.

She spoke on the subject of her early life among her native people, the Omaha Indians.

The ladies were invited to the dining room, where an elegant banquet had been prepared. The tables were beautifully decorated with palms and fmilax and were waited upon by young ladies.

KIPUXG STEADILY IMPROVIMG NEW YORK, March 14. Rudvard Kipling spent a good night and continues to imnrove. HOUSE ROLL NO.

359. A Board of Control for Special InstltntlOBS. LINCOLN, March 14. To the Editor of The State Journal: Permit me to call the attention of the public to this very important bill. No one at all familiar with the peculiar system Nebraska has had of managing state institutions through secretaries, under direction of state officers will deny that it is unwise from everv oolnt of view.

For twenty years as new I laws have been Dassed new boards have been freafefl ujitij several of the Cn.A AfllAnM L. 01. 1 I oiaic uii'tcia iitii uiy -wiuw toe iitiiiea of the various boards to which they belong banking board, board of purchases and supplies, medical board, etc. The result is neglect of something. It cannot be otherwise.

These educational Institutions, reforni.scheoi3i"!chaols for blind, deaf and feeble minded, have been tossed back and forth by the courts many times and even now a case is In tbe courts to decide whether the governor or the board of public lands and buildings has the power to discharge the superintendent of the schools at Kearney. At present we have a board of three men to control the school for the deaf and the blind, but- the board of end supplies must contract for all supplies needed in these institutions, iius is a foolish and unwise mixing of boards. This board has little if any real authority and Is of little value to the state. The superintendent is named by the and at present the governarr may virtually name all the employes, regardless of the wishes of the superintendent. The matter of reports, and expenditures is not systematic and cannot be.

There are too many heads and no one with authority. Each institution "goes it alone." The board of public lands and buildings cannot possibly look into the merits of all the; business affairs, purchases, equipment, productions, of these institutions. The I present system is the most extrava gant and expensive system ever devised in any state. House roll 359 is in the interest of business economy and educational reform at the same- time. It -creates no new officers as we now have a board three who think they have control of the schools for the deaf and the blind-(This is no reflection on the capable men who now constitute that board.) It does call for salaries for this new board that replaces -he above neuned board and this In the interest of economy.

Ihe bill provides for the appointment by the governor of a board of three to represent at least two leading political parties. The chairman of the board for each bien-ium shall be the man whose term first expires. The members of this board shall give their time to the management of five institutions. shall have an office in the capitol. They shall employ a secretary or bookkeeper and such otlH er help as may be deemed necessary.

It provides for a uniform system of records and accounts for all the Institutions. The board shall appoint the superintendents of these- schools who shall employ, subject to the approval of the boards all other employes of the school or farm. No, officer or superintendent shall endeavor in any way to influence any employe to adopt his political views. Each superintendent shall, within thirty days after the or-can'zation of the board, submit to the board a complete and minutely itemized inventory of all property belonging to the institution or farm. All money derived by sales of produce shall be paid over to the state and then all purchases made shall be settled for by voucher.

All purchases to be made must first be asked for on blanks and authorized by the board. 1 don't believe any- -capable business man can study this bill carefully without seeing that it is in the direct line of business All our state Institution ought to be under such a board, but unfortunately the prison and asylums are placed by the constitution under the board of public la'-ds and buildings. These schools ought to be a vital part of our educational system and not thought of as charitable asvlums. The state pays money for these schools for exactly the same reason that it pays money for the support of the university and the other public schools. Iowa has a law that places all hr state institutions, thirteen in number, under such a board.

A member of that board said that they had saved from Annl to December $125,000 end had not found a single case of dishonesty. It was all in little leak from careless business methods. -Tbsa wsrc of th? state, inmates of these schools, sho-ild not be made to sufXer from political mismanagement, but the state owes It to itself to do for them all it can in order that they may become capable and law-abiding and Blf-su4porri-i? citizens. I ask the business men of the state and the honorable mioer3 of the legislature to read th. PERSONAL FRIED OF QCAT.
