Church Howe is the most dangezous man in Nebraska politics. He Is & political Judas who has sold his con- victions and violated his pledges in ‘every great fssue since his entrance in the political arens. He it a man without conscience, without remorse, whose only god fs railroad mammon and whose only object is his own wolitical advancement on the shoul- ders of the monopolies. ‘THE CLOSE OF CONGRESS. A fow more days and the forty- sixth congress will finish its eession Tt has been chiefly remarkable as the fist congress since the days cf Bu- chanan, which has been wholly under the control of the democratic party. It came into existenco with the most profuse promises, 1: dles with ninety- nine per cent of those promises unful- illed, leaving behind it not one soli- tary act exhibiting statesmanship or the slightest sppreciation of the neecs which it was ealled upon to supply. No eougress since 1859 has proved itaelf 8> wholly incapable and worth- less as tho present. It frst sesson was spent fn combatting the use of & paltry number of Federal troops at the polls and the use of United States deputy marshals ia en- forcing the national clection Liwe. Eighteen monthe of valuable time was frittered away in investigations which failed to inveetigate, and in empty resolutions intended tor capital in the sucoseding presidential csmpaign. Daye and wecks were exhausted in buncombe speeches and party legis- ation, and the closiug session h: taiied to relieve the groaning calendar of messures most important for the preservation of the national welfare and the maintainance of the national government. The tariff remaius untouched, the appropriation bills are still in the committee rooms, the Resgan bill, the spportionment bill, the fanding bill ate still inoperative. In short,§the work cf the presert congress may be rummed up in the phrase, ““They have left undone those things which they ought to have done, and have donethosethings which they ought not to huve done, and there is no health in them.” Even the southern democracy is rising in indignation over the spectacle which their nerthern allics have made of themselves and the New Orleans Times pertinontly acks. “What hos the democratic party done to clsim al- legiance from thinking eoutherners.” The fact has bscome clear that democratic statesmanship is a thing of the psst. The political leaders of the party to-day are men without fixed principles or else unable to exercise any influence through their principles upon the party at large. This they have shown in the congress now draw- ing to its close which will go down to history as the most useless, incapatle and partisan collection of the people’s representative which bas ever gather- ed in the national capitsl. — SoME two weeks ago the Boston Post made the remark that “Private Dalzell differs from mud in respect that fmad dries up sometimes.” This resembles Ina startling manner the orlginal paragraph in the Republican a few days since o reference to Sena- tor Howe. Great minds somotimes run in jthe same channel, two wecks apart. POETRY OF THE TIMES, Damonopolis.

Lixcory, Febraary 24.—In the or- der of bills on third reading this after- noon Hollman’s railroad bill Ne. 225, came up. This bill provides for the establishment of maximum rates of charges for the transportation of froight and passengers on the diferent railroads in the state. It provides for the appointment of a railroad commis- sion to report upon the earnings of these roads, the rates to be fixed ac- cording to the earniogs. Mr. Brown, of Boone, objected to the passage of any bill that had not been read before the house. The 4th section of this bill provided that each commissioner should receive $3000 per sonum, with a secretary at $1100. The commisslon would not only crip- ple railroad extension In the state, but would put a heavier burdca upon the tax-payers of the state. Mr. Hollman, of Dakota, said the state was not asked to pay these sal- aries, The railroads were required to pay them. Mr. Bartlett, of Douglas, was not in favor of any special law for or agatost the railroads. Ho believed every man on_ the floor of the Louse had a solemn duty to perform in pass- ing his judgment on every bill that comes before him. Taat judgment should be given without prejudica. He ventured to say that there were not five men in the house prepared to act intelligently on the bill. If they voted on it they stultified themrelves. He asked if the ramilrdads were not governed by the lawa of trade, and if they hadn't that right, as has any in- dividual, Idesire to know what I am voting for. This method of pressing important bills through this house is extremely dangercus, and if it were the last word I eaid I would stand upon principlo in this maiter. Mr. Windham, of Cass, could not see why the passage of this bill was demanded at thistime, It was a fact that the members did not understand what was embodied fn it. Althougha mewber of the committee to which it bad been referred he didn’t under- stand it. Was it wise for this house to vcte upon any bill of fifteen or twenly pages without knowing its contents. ‘Do the people impose upon ue the responsibility of voting upon bills without considering them. ‘We cannot show its meaning without arguing it. It has been charged thatIam a railroad attorney. Iam nota railroad attorney and never roceived a railroad pass from the Toad on which my town islocstod. I am hera to appose any legislation that will oppress the peo- ple. Icanvot do my daty by voting on this bill without hearing it read. It is not rigbt for any man to ta%e his chsnces on any bill, whetber it be against railroeds or othorvise. 1 am 1n favor of the bill but cannot vote for f:ustl it bas beea read before this house. Last session we voted upon bills that we knew nothing abou, and I dow't intend to do 82 again. Mr. Broatch, of Douglas, said there wers some provisions in the bill he couldjoot support. He referred to an article in The Chicago Timer, which the clerk read. It went to show that the Iilinois raflroad commission was a failure. Mr. Moore, of York, said it was too late for the members to say that they dld not_know the contents of these bills. In the beginning of the session the house was told to defer action on theee bills that they might all be con- eidered together, and then at a late day ths committes had poured in a great armful of railroad bills vpon the committee of the whole. “We want- ed to consider this bill but you sald 1t could not be considered separately. Tt was just as import: nt as the leglsia- tion we were engaged in. Whenever we urged the consideration of railroad bills you sought to avoid them. You would allow other bills ordered to third reading at any time, but when a railroad bill was moved to be placed on third reading you called for a sus pension of the rales. A gentle- man who spoke before me opposed this bill because tbe feared the governor might ap- point unserupalous men on the com- mittee. Thisis a mere subterfuge. The members of this house are block- ading railroad legislation. I have had members come tome and shake hands and say, “We'llgo as faras you in this matter of railroad legielation;” but whenever a bill came up they'd become white around the mouth, and desert me. When yoa come up’ here aud tell us that we are forcing this legislation upon you without cons eration, it is the unkindest cut of all, because you continually stood in the way of all leglalation on this point. I ut this house to understand that 1 am a8 good a frlend of the railrosds as any man here. Igrant that they are of great advantage fo any state. We aro fold that this bill might do a deal of harm. The greatest statcsTen of the nation tell us that we mus. put a check upon thase greatcorporations. Mr. Bartlett, of Douglas: ‘Have you read this bill?” ‘Does the gentleman mesn am standing here in voeacy of a bill that I kaow nothing abom?” Bartlett—“You can construe my y words aa you please.” Mr. Daley, of Red Willow, -said that the house had this morning passed house rull 139, which be thought would coyer a large part of the work to be required of the com- mission. Mr. Howe, whom Mr. Kgyner s pleased to call “the broad-cloth granger from Nemaha,” arose to re- mark that the railrosd question is the ‘most important one before the legls- lature. He stood up to opposo the paseage of this bill before it had been discussed; he was here to represent the people as well as the railroads. He was s friend of the people end a friend of the railroads. Their interests are identical. I do not desire to say one word that will reflect upon any wember in taking whatever action he may reo fit on the railroad question. Their constituents have sent them here with instructions to vote. And now, Mr. Speaker, let ua azk the question, who calls for this Jegislation? A few cons:ituents and a few gentlemen ouly come here and sk forit. Are you qualified to deal with a question of these men! Don’t manegs the greatest interest in this statel Who s crying out against the railroads? Who sre the men that are keeping up this cry? Wha! do we find upon our desks every morning—The Lincoln Globe and the Oxuma :BEE! who are the men that eupport this billl Who are the men that edit these papers] What did Mr. Rosewater say before the railroad meeting In the senato chamber the other day. He charged that a rail- road had refused to carry four packa- ges of his newspaper over their road, and that 0>al morchant up in Butler county had been abused. This is all. Now, where does this second cry come from! From Eaton and Conley. What class of people do they represent? You are told that you have obligations to meet, and that your constituents are demanding cer- tain things of you.. Who is this man Eaton? A man who once had charge of & government land offico and was charged with stealing land from the poor settloes, He was sent for and appeared at Washington, but through the cfforts of Senator Paddock was spared from conviction. ~This is the man who is- crying out sgainst the railroads, Auother who keeps up a continusi howl, s s ex- railroad attorney, of Beatrice, These are the men who go to the members and tell them of the treat. ment they will roceive at the hands of their constituents If they do not vote against the railroads of tho state. That is the class of newspapers that are to-day urging this legislature to cripple the railroads which are build- ingus up. I say, in justice to the people, that no legislation is needed. Ia the first place we have nothing to complain of. I represent the Fifth district, of Nema- ha couaty. To-day the railroad com— pauy have hundreds of men thers waiting for the weather fo break that they may push thelr road through to Red Cloud, the home of my friend from Webster. Two years ago I tock the stand that this atato needed rail- roads. I ask you, Why do you desire to Interfere with these railroads when they are building up your state! I find that many miles of road have been built since the last legislature. I do not doubt that there are instancea where injustics bas bsen done certa individual,s by the railrcade, but you will find that to ba the case fn all kinds of business. T am in favor of cortain legislation, but am opposed to goiog upon record on a bili so fmport- ant upon the word offsome gentleman that it'is a perfeltly harmless bill. If it is harmless we can’t afford to spend time on it, Mr. Hollman, of Dakota, interrupt- ed the speaker to say that he had dis- coyered & provision in ths bill that rendered it unconstitutional, and he moved that it be recommitted. Mr. Ransom, of Oloe, asked where- in wss the bill unconstitutional. Hollman: “It provides for ds to pay these com- missioners, which I think is unconsti- tational.” The question to rocommit to the general file was carried. The house adjourned to meet at 7:30 p. m. THURSDAY NIGBT'S SESSION. During the night session Thursday, as I telegraphed, Mr. Whedon, of Lancaster, moved the suspecsion of the rales for the consideration of houss roll No. 121, for thls following ‘reason: The constitution of this atate says that lawa must be passed to pre- vent unjast discrimination. I claim that this is just as binding as that provision which says that every bill shall be read a third time and signed by the speaker. I eay that this pro- vision which requires the leglalatare $0 pass lawa to prevent discrimiration is as maodatory a3 any part of the constitution of the state. The ques- ition does not ariss whether the rail- Tonds are practicing unjust discrimina- i The constitution says that we shall pass theso laws and I say that we must come to the conclusion that wo must pas them. This bill does not seek to regulate the rates upon rallroads any further than provides that railrosd companies shall not a higher r on toan was charged by railroads in the month of December, 1880 It provides that they shall, aftera certain time, filo & statement showing tho items of charg- eson freight. This statement shail be_published five times & year. It defines extortion and discriminatton, Every man shall be charged the same, be he rich or poor. The railroad companics, under this bill, cannot chargs more for & car from Omaha to Ashland than from Omaha to Lin- coln.yThe reason why this bill should te considered now, Mr. Speaker, is because the constitution of this state says that we shall pass these laws; be- cause, at the republican convention which nomioated the state ticket, we went before the people on this issue and said we wanted their confidence. We have done moro than that. Esrly in this session my friend from York county Introduced a resolution in this houss deolariog that it wa the sense of this legislatare, that it was our duty to provent extortion and unjust dls- crimination. This resolution was copied from the sonstitution, and nearly every member voted aye on it when presented. Yet these gentlomen vote no to-night on the ssme ques- tlon. The republican party has this princlple in it platform. The peo- ple have said that they musi have these laws, and we should grant their demande. = This bill only provides that the railroads shall charge no more than they have charged. It is true that this_sesslon is fast growing toaclose. Unless we consider this bill to-night it cannot be considered atsll. Isay that when we have pass- ed this resolution it becomes our daty a8 representativea of the etate to live up to that reselation and oonsider this bill. Ifitis not a good bill we can vote 1t down, It is said that it is un- wise to legislate against railroads; that the effect will be to drive capital from this state. This conclusion is buwed upon & false argument. The people demand thess laws and they should have them. Thero is no comparison between a private corporation and a public carrier. This bill will not prevent the building of railroads in this state. I believe it to be a just ove. I it be not just, it is the duty of this house to_consider it to-night, and if it is the decision. that it is not a just law, Ido not want it passed. It is right that the poor man shoald have the same rights as the rich man. The il floor are poor. How is it that . the railroad corporations exist except by the permission of the people. The people consented for them to build their roads. If the people of the state are poor then the railroads get their rights to exist from the poor people. It this be true, then the poor man in this state, the man who does not ship but one car per year, Is entitled to the same rate as the man who ships ten cars per day.” Mr. Howe roee toa point of oraer, and insisted on the regular order of business. Mr. Whedon, of Lancaster—*“I be- Ueve that we have a regular order of business, and I belleve that if any member desires to make a motion he e has the right to do so, 4nd also the right to discuss it; and the house de- cides whether-he shall proceed. Iam in order. When the poor peoplehave glven these corporations the right to exist, the poor man is entitled 10 the Same rate s the rich man, sod I be- Jou kuow that you are attempting to | leve that is why this provision ws e | put ir our constitution, I say that the i record discloses the fact that wa aro in tavor of this legislation. This bill has never been considered In this houso It was sent back hero without 1‘ apy recommendation whatever. It ie the foult of the members if this bill ia not_understood, When wo have | done this wo have dono our duty.” Mr. Howe, of Nemahs, protested, a8 a matter of course, and wanted house roll 85 taken up. The provious question was called, finelly, and by an aye and nay vete was defeated. Mr. Whedon then moved to have the bill put on third reading, and called for the ayes and nays. Inex- plaining his vote he" said that he fa- vored the conslderation of the bill be- causo it was & question of vast Im- portance; because 260,000 people had ratified a constitation which directed the passage of such laws, and because every member of the houso had voted to support such a messure. He had anly asked that the bill be considered for three-quarters of an hour. The motion that the bill be engeoesed for third reading was carried.
