IN THE OFFICE OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS, AT WASHINGTON, D. C. COPIES & Qf V 21399 f C*"T - PREFACE, The first edition of the Legislative Hand Book and Manual, compiled and published in 1893. by authority of the Senate and House of Representatives of that session received very favorable reception and high commendations from legislators, state officials, and the public upon its appearancefrom the press. It was generally admitted to be a great improvement upon any similar work ever before issued in this state. The Legislature of 1897 by a special resolution gave this work its approval by ordering the Secretary of State to furnish said session with this Manual. The new features introduced in the first edition were: First—‘’Sub-heads” for the various subjects and topics in the various chapters, as “Constitution of tbeUnited States,” “ Constitution of theState of Nebraska,” “Legislative Practice,” “Standing Rules of the Senate and House of Representatives.” etc. This feature made the finding of subjects more easy, something every legislator appreciates when suddenly “points of order” are raised. Secondly—The addition of the chapters on “Statutory Provisions,” “De¬ cisions of the Supreme Court,” bearing upon legislative practice; “ Decisions of the House of Representatives on Points of Order.” All valuable to the legislator.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.

The son of John and Margaret (Van Aerman) Crounse, he was educated in the public schools and later attended the New York Conference Seminary for two years. At the age of seventeen he dropped out of the seminary to teach school. Four years later he started to study law at Ft. Plain, NY. In 1857 he was admitted to the bar of the state of New York and began his practice at Ft. Plain. With the outbreak of the civil war he organized and was elected captain of Battery K, 1st Regiment, New York Light Artillery in 1861. He was discharged that same year due to severe wounds received in a battle on the Rappahannock River in Virginia. He returned to the practice of law at Ft. Plain. Crounse came to Nebraska in 1864 and took a homestead a year later near Rulo, Richardson County, where he resumed his law practice. In the election of 1865 he was chosen a representative in the House of Nebraska Territory. In that same year he was elected to serve as an Associate Justice of the Territorial Supreme Court. He served in that dual position until six years after Nebraska became a state. He was elected to Congress on the Republican ticket in 1872 and 1874 as Nebraska’s single state representative.

  • Silas Holcomb's Administration Came During the Drought and Depression Following 1893
    Holcomb, Silas Alexander, 1858-1920 Nebraska. GovernorSG017 Papers: 1894-1899 Broken Bow, Custer Co., NE: Governor, 1895-1899 Cubic ft. 2.5 Approx. # of Items: 5,000 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Silas Alexander Holcomb was born in Gibson Co., Indiana, August 25, 1858. His parents, John C. and Lucinda R. (Skelton) Holcomb, managed to set aside enough money for Silas to be educated in the common schools, and to have one year in the Normal School. At the age of 17, he quit school to take a teaching job in order to save enough money to go to college. The year after his father died in 1879, Silas took his mother, his younger brother, and his sisters west to Hamilton County, Nebraska. He first worked on a farm, and in 1880, began to read law in the office of Thummel and Pratt in Grand Island, Nebraska. In 1882, Silas was admitted to the bar of Nebraska. In that same year he was married to Alice Brinson in Mills County, Iowa. Shortly after he moved to Broken Bow, Custer County, where he set up practice and began farming a homestead. Broken Bow was at the time a stronghold of the Populist party, and before long Silas became a major leader of that movement in the state. In partnership with J. S. Kirkpatrick (firm of Kirkpatrick & Holcomb) he became known among the people of Custer County as an astute lawyer, a knowledgeable politician, and a friend of the people. Holcomb's political career began in 1891 when he defeated the Republican candidate for the office of 12th District Judge.
