Tuo discrimination per mile is thus: Rate per mile from Lincoln to Kear- Dey ... $1.225 TRate per mile from Chicago to Lin- coln.. ver mile against Kearney ........... $L129 The abuve comparison seoms pretty tough.

It was too late in the day to refer such matters to that committoe. Mr. Howe, of Numaha, thought it ehould be reterred to the committee on wags and means. _ Mir, Slocamb, of Jefferson, wanted it refared to the commistca of tho whole, 10 be taken up with the general appropriation bill, which was dove. Mr. Shick, of Nemaha, wanted the sairoad bills, which came up on epecial order this afternoon, to be considered in the following order hie bilt v prohibit the acceptance’ of fre rai road 2, bills to prohi exvrtiun, bills fix ng regular passen- ger tariff, and s bill for a railcad Conumizaion. Mr. Whedon, of Lancaster, amend- ed by previding that in the debate esch member be limited to twenty five minutes. Mr. Jensen, of Butler, amended the amendment by making it fiftesn minates, Mr. Moore, of York, didn't like the resolution. It was for the house to take up these bills as it saw fir. ‘It ia unfair fur the gentleman from Las- caster to try and put a gag uvon the most {mportant measure that can come before the house.” Mr. Case, of Clay, thought it best der the billa first in a genersl way, and then decide on one that would cover the whole quastion. Mr. Correll, of Thager, and Howe, of Nemaha, thought all bills should bs considered in reguls? order, Mr. Broatch, of Dyuglas, was In fa- vor of the resolation of the gentleman from Lancaster. The gentleman froin York had advocated tho gag law yes- terdsy tn the probibition debate, and he should favor the gag law to-day. Mr. Raasom, of Otoe, thought the house should take up tha free pass biil £rat, and then the mem"ers would bo tree to legislate on railroad dis- crimination against the people. Both resolutions and amendments | were referred, and the house decided to consider the bills as they came up on the general bill. Tae whole atternoon was devoted to the discussion of bills numbers 19 | and 95. The former provides for an act to make railroad, canal, bridge and jes, and companies sible for material and labor performed in the coustruction, repair or improvement ! of any such works, and to secure tha { laborer and m: man a lien for his material faraished and labor per- | formed. The committee reported the bill to the house vecom; ; age, and the report was adopté Bil No 95 provides for virtuslly o law as doas No. 19, but in | the wh I re ge, but the house indefivitely poned sction on the report.
