Mr. Speaker—The question is whether the houso shall go Into com- mittee of the whole, to consider bills on general fle. Mr. Jouson, of Butler, amended to ke ont the words “on general file” sud insert “to continue specisl order of yestordsy (which was rallroad bills.) Mr. Howe, cf Nemaha, moved that the house proceed with the regular or- der of business, Mr. Sprick, of Washington—L want the'clerk {nstructed to put it on record that the gentleman from Ne- maha moved that. Mr. Slocamb moved to take a re- cess till 2 o'clock. s Mr. Ransom, of Otoe—What does the gentleman Want a recoss for? Mr. Slocumb—I want to call & committee. Mr. McShane, of Douglas—We ave nc’ through with the order of bna- iness. We cannot take a recess with- out a suspension of the rules. Mr. Ransom—We sre wasting too mach time with this business, It cobts ihe state eighty-four doliars per hour for this kind of thing. These men cannot be In a very great hurry. One gentlemanor the floor of this house had a bill lecued up for twenty-four hours, Mr. Mickey, of Polk—<The gentle- man is stating what is false. The chair called the gontlemsn to order. Theayes and nayes were called for on the motion to take a recess, which was carrled. At two o'clock Mr. Howe moved that house-roll No. 85 be recommitted to the committee on constitutional amendments. Mr. Bartlett, of Douglas, wanted to know the object in recommitting this bill, as it waa ready for passage. Mr. Howe—The majority of thls house are not ready to vote on this bill until allits friends are here. Wedes ire to putit awey where it will be safe. Along and tiresome argument here ensued upon the point that a bill could not be recommitted after having been ordered t> the engrossing committee for third reading. The chair held that the bill in ques- tion had not been ordered to third reading but had taken|ts nataral place under that hesding on the calendar. A motlon to recommit was in ordor. Mr. McShane, of Douglas, moved that the motion of the gentleman from Nemaha be laid upon the table *‘for safe-keeping.” Mr. Kyner, of Douglas, smendea by “laying the gentleman, also, opon the table.” [Laughter.] After more wrangling the original motion to recommit preyailed, and again the crowds In the galleries went awsy disappolnted. 1 The house then resolved itself into Mr. Wells, & comuittee of the whole, of Franklin, in the chair. On motion the special order of yes- terday was resumed—Dbeing that of rallroad bills, Houss roll Nos. 1 and 2, to ¢‘pro- vide a eystem of revonue” was taken up. It provides for the local taxation oFtailroads, eto. Mo final actlon was taken upon it. The ,women suffragists, who have been walting to be heard for somo time, have been granted to-morrow at 10:30 to convert the members inio thelr faith. The bill to submit an amendment to the constitution to the people in their behalf will also be con- sldered at that hour. SENATE. The senate bill limiting the fare on railroads to three couts par mile for passenger and 100 pounds of baggage, was reported correctly engeosead and ordered to third reading. Mr. Gere moved to refer the bill bsek to the committee on raliroads, giving as a reason for this that ene of the bills introduced by the spoclal raflroad committee covers the same ground. Mr. Van Wyck, of the special com- mittee, Informed him that such was not the caze; that their bill referred to freight charges, and did not touch passenger rates, for the very reason that this bill was already before the senate. Mr. Gero then ssid he would move to refer it back without sny reason. A prolonged _discussion ensued, which resulted in defeating the mo- tion to recommit the bill to the rail— road committoe, but it was referred back to the committee of the whole, and wlil probably be_ called up to- morrow. In the course of this discussion, Mr. Van Wyck eaid, “The gentleman may attempt to kill this bu? by recommit- ting it to the committee on railroads, but » vote to do that ls really a vote againzt the bill and they must make up their minds to accopt all the re- sponalbilty which such a vots will in- our upon them. They cannot deceive thelr constitucnts by saylng that they did not vove against the bill. Jf they want to defeat it let them place them- selves squarely on record to that of- foct, und not show thelr bad faith and cowardice by shirking the resporsibil- Ity of voting upon the bill at all.” Gare—If you pass this bill, you will crush out all the new roads in the state. 2 Van Wyck—What roads? Gere—All the roads in_the state except the U. P. and B. & M. Van Wyck—Do you mean the Re- publican Valley road? Gere—Yes. Van Wyck—Let me tell you that is a part of the C. B, & Q. great trunk line, and there are really but two rail- roads in Nebraska. These two have gobbled up or parchased all the othe ers. Gere—I never heard of the B. & M. purchasing any other road. Vao Wyck—Then you must keep yourself exceedingly well posted as a public journalist if you don’t know that the B. & M. has obtained pos- seesion of the A. & N. and other roads. Gere—Well, if you crush ont these roads you won't have any others. Van Wyck—Why do you talk about crushing out railrcads, when you have nothiog to say about crushing out the peopls west of the Missouri river! This qoestion has. been discussed thoroughlyjand every men understands it. Each member knows how he in-- tends to vote, and you have no hope of changing the opinion of any oae. Tt iz & poor time to talk about crush- ing ont railroads when every railroad man in the comatry is growing rich from the profits. There is no hostile !&g‘\lht(on and we do not desire any. ‘e want a little protection for the people while the railroad ownars are becomir g millionaires. In Iowa and other states where theso things are regulated by legislation tho railrosd T | managers claim to make more money thaz they did when they fixed the rates themselves. If this is truein Tows, why not ir Nebraska? Myers—When the railroads were first built In Nebraska they developed tho state and made everybody pros- perous and happy. They were com- polle¥ to charge ten cents a mile, but mobody complained. Stages had charged one dollar amilo. Assoon as | Sy ooelifido fwojih ey freduced Gthstr ratén bo five oanta s mmils and i you 1ot them alone they will come down to Balf that amount. They ever did and never will refuse to make thelr rates as low as the necessitles of the people demand snd thelr own profits Justify. If you abuse them, they will turn arouud and crush you. ' The only way to deal with a railway company is to let them do just as they please. Thea they will ba genorous, butif you Teve them they will kick: Don't press down on these companies that have dome businoss st a loss gh:filym make you rich. All your wealth, prosperity snd happiness come from railroads, and If you incar thelr displessure youare lost. There was 0o ;?Amar when the Unlon Pacific road used to charge ten cents a mile. Van Wyck—Was there no ‘clamor when people used to haul their grain and drive thelr cattle from Fremont to Omaha, because they could do_this cheaper than to ship them? Was thero no clamor when congress »yss called to regulato these rates and did actually pash through the lower house, but before it could go through the senate the company reduced its rates? Myer»—‘¢ These questions _are sither bancome or they are to entrap me.” . Vat Wyck—*‘They aze not for bun- combe nor to entrap you, They relate tofacts, and I would not try-to trap soolda fox norso aged a sinner as youare.” Myers—“‘I was formerly a mem- ber of the constitutional convention. Then I shouted for anti-monopoly. denounced the money power, and thought I was a big Injun. But when I went to Chins and saw the people besotted with oplum, making 1o progress, living in filth and ldle- ness, wearing the same shoes their ancestors had worn for 3,000 years, then I roalized what railroads bad done for America. Shakespeare said, “Pet monoy in your purse,’ but we say lovest your money in railroads. I'mglad I ain't a Rothschild, for I should be afrald to put my money in rallroads, lest some hostils legislation might crush them and roin me. vou want to grow rich and happy, let the rallrcads alone, If you try to govern them by legislation, your couutry will go to rain and you will have {0 carry your crops to market in baskets on your heada,” In the afternoon Senator Van Wyck, from the committee to investigate the lotting of the printing contract, stated that Mr. Hathaway had been before the committee and refused to answer the questions, Ho asked that tho sergeant at-arms bo instructed to no- tify Mr. H. to appear before the sen- ate and be examined. It was go or- dered. Mr. Van Wyck then proceed- ed to show that there had been ex- tensive frauds perpetrated upon the state In this connection: that the state was charged 81.60 per thousand for setting tho type and that the com- positors who do the work receive only 30 cents; that the pages arestretched to double the requisito length and thas the paper Is not such as was spec- ified In the contract. Mz. Gere made a plaintive appesl for The Journsl company, eaying it is one of Nebraska’s noblest institutions; that it has conttnuslly done printing for the state at a loss and such inves- tigations ss this are liable to cripple it. He moved inat the whole matter be roferred to the judiclary commit- tee. Mr. Van Wyck thought it In poor taste for Mr, Gore, a partner of Mr. Hathaway, who isarraigned for alleged fraude, to ask to have this matter re- forred to a committes of which Mr. Geore isa member, Mr. Gere denfed that ho was a part- ner of Mr, Hathaway. Mr. Van Wyck drew the record of Mr. Hathaway's investigation and read: Question—*Wpo constitutes the Journal company?” ‘Hathaway—Mr. Gere, Mr. Menden- ‘hall, Mr. Clark and myself. Mr. Myers said he thought Mr. Hathaway could refuse to anawer any qu]utionn which would criminate him- eelf, Mr. Van Wyck thought Hatbaway would not thank his friend Myers for placing hint In the position of a crim- ioal and claiming tha privileges of one. A resolution was adopted requiring the auditing board to take'into con- sideration all the deviations from the contract and impose the penaltles prescribed by law for violation of the same, The bill providing for the repeal of section 47 of the general statutes re- lating to hospital for the icsane having been reported for passage, a number of membors of the judiciary commit- tee asked that tho report be withdrawn for recovsideration. The requast was rofused. The object of this bill is to relleve tho counties, whick send pa- tients to the hospital, from the assess- ment of $3 per week for each patient as is the case under the present law.

This Ia tho minufactare of an article called “‘boiler purger” by Mr. James Smith, a practical chemist and machinist. The artlcle is for the pur- pose of cleaning off the scales which accumulate on boiler flues and of proventing like accumulations. En- glneers ali know how great an advan- tage such an article would be, and we uaderstand that aside from ita preven- tlon of all necessity of ‘laying up lo- comotives for repair of flues and boil- er heads which have burned out it will result in a saving twenty-five to thirty per cent In fael.
