In view of this | the twa bills will probably be repo { od by the committecs in their respeo- | tive houses. | In the house this morning Mr. | Bolin, of Douglas, presented an anti- | | prohibition petition, signed by 3,329 | persons of Omaha and vicinity.

The house went into committee of the whole and took up the considera- tion of house roll No. 27, a bill to provide for a commissioner of immi- gration. M. Jensen, of Batler, thought it was_unuecessary to have an immigra- tion bureau. Iinmigratlon was pour- ing in fast enough. The state had been paying ou: too much money. Mr. Rroatch sgreed that listle good had beon accomplished by past ap- propristions. This bill was sim- ply to sdvertise faithfully the re- sources of thisstate. He knew that immigration had boen greater this your than ever bofore, but this was due o the fact thet the railtoads had adverdsed their lands exter ively. In & conversstion with the govornor he had learned that the railroads had askel the authority of the state offi ciaie »u their printed matter to flavor it with suthority.

The board of trade had psid out money to advertise the resourdes of the state. This bill would encourage all bravches of trade and benefit everyboiy. Mr. Montgomery, of Furnss, said we iind a vost domaiu wast of us of unoccupied lard, and all that was wanting wasadvertising to settle itup. Let the immigraats see that we have faith in our own country. There are people in Germany, France, Eogland and allother foreign countries, to day, counseling smong themselves as to which state in America offers the best resources to settlers. All they want is the facts relating to the Jand in Ne- Ho was in favor of the bill. Mr. Kaley, of Webster, thought it wgoad fox th state. to distelbute doc: ting forth the vast resources of the state. He was iu favor of the biil.
