This was one of the most serious charges brought against the last congreas and must not be al- lowed to stand against its republican successor, —_—— THE WORK OF CONGRESS. With the usual delays, the inevita- ble amount of buncembe speeches and the same old story of filibustering and caucusing on dsputed measures congress has still accomplished a large amount of satisfactory work., The principal bills passed by both houses are tha apportionment bill, the anti- polygamy bill, the anti-Chinese bill, the tariff commission bill and several appropriation bills, The debato over the tariff consumed six weeks of valu- able time, but it has cleared the air, by furnishing an unusually large number of members with the needed specch for their constituents. A number of important measures are atill awaiting congressional action, Among these are the electoral count bill and Judge Davis’ bill creating count of appeals which have passed the senate but not the house; the whisky bond bill, the Geneva award bill and the Japanese indemnity bill which have passed the house but not the senate; the bill for the rebuilding the Mississippi levies; the hoase bill for extending the jurisdiction of the court of claims with the view to do away with the private bill nutsance; the bill repealing bank taxes; the Sherman three per cent. bond bill; the bill rechartering the national banks and a number of measures re- lating to the railroad question, = Of these the last three are the only ones which are likely to precipate another flood of debate, The record shows thatjthe senate has disposed of its business with more dispatch than the house. There are comparatively few housa bills awaiting the action of the senate while there are 180 senate bills on the speaker’s table. The unconsidered election cases will cause a further loss of time ia the house, and the bills proposing a reduction of internal taxes, the Mc- Kinley bill and Judge Kelley's tariff bill are also likely to cause more or less discussion. Congress has its work, however, fairly under way, although tho deficiency appropriation bill ought to have secured its passage lon ago. Ix response to the request of a sub- scriber from Crote for the text of the tariff commission bill, we append it in full: Be it enacted, etc., That a commis- sion is hereby created to be called the “Tarift Commission,” to consist of nine members. Sec. 2. That the president of the United States shall, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, ap- int. nine commissioners from civil Pi‘f’a, one of whom, the first-named, shall bo president of the commission. The commissioners shall receive as compensation for their services each at the rate of $10 a day when engaged in active duty, and actual traveling and other necessary expenses. The commission shall have power to em- ploy u stenographer and a messenger, and the foregoing compensation and oxpenses shall be audited and paid by the secretary of the treasury out of any moneys in the treasury not other- wise appropriated. Sec. 3. That it shall be the duty of said commission to take into consider- ation and to thoroughly investigate all the va.ious questions relating to the agricultural commercial, mercantile, manufacturing, mining and industrial interests of the United Statesso far as tte same may be necessary to the establishment of a judicious tariff, or & revision of the existing tariff upon a scale ot justice to all interests; and, for the pnrm of fully examining the matters w may come before it, said commission, in the prosecution ef its inquiries, is empowered to visit such different partions and sections of the country as it may deem advisable, Skc. 4. That the commission shall make a final report of the results of ity investigations and the testimony taken in the course of the same not later than the first Monday of December, 1882; and it shall cause the testimony taken to be printed from time to time and distributed to members of congress by the public printer, and shall also “cause to be printed for the use of congress 2,000 ocopies of its final report, together with tha testimony. e KEEP IT BEFORE THE LEGIS- . LATURE. S1ATE O¥ NEBRASKA, Bures Co. I, J. O. Robberts, on my oath say, that I make the following statement of facts upon my wost solemn oath, God almighty bearing me witness that the same is true, as follows to- wit; When 1 was in the legislature of Nebraska a member of the 16th ses- sion, from the blst district, E. C, Carnes, at the time the lieutenant governor of the state came to me and told me that Jobn M. Thurston sent him to me with the proposition that if I would turn in and help the railroad eompanies and use my influence and power as a legislator and member of the railroad committee that he, through and for eaid companies, would give me $56,000 (five thousand dollars). That he tried and insisted there and then to have me go to eith- er Thurston or Church Howes' room and gel part of said money, I also state upon my oath that I refused to £0 to said room and refused to take said money or any part thereof, and that he (Carnes) #aid to me that if I refused to take it I would always regret it, for that when I went home I would be abused by the ragged asses anyway, and that if I accepted it I could let them go, and be independent, and have a nice home and be well fixed. I also swear that I never accepted one dollar from any source, or in any way from any railroad company since I was elected, or in my whole life, ex- eept a fee of §5.00 (five dollars) that was paid the Robberts & Steele law firm in 1877 for legal services rendered them, and that I never received any favor from any railroad company, ex- cept a traveling pass for myself and wite, 8o help me God. J. 0. RoppERTs, Subscribed in my presence and sworn to before me, this February 27th, 1882, L. G. Berbrow, Notary Public, The people cf Nebraska demand from the legislature now in sesson a vindication of 1ts own integrity, They demand that the senate shall inflict the soverest penalty under its authority upon the presiding officer, who has acted as the paid tool and corrup- tioniat of the corporations, violated hin sacred trust and has used his high office as a means for debauching the sworn _representatives of the people of this state. There must be no eva- sion or shirking on the part of the legislature. The house of represent- atives owes it to itself to purge itself of a member who is proved to have been a prime factor in this infamous conspiracy against the people of Ne- braska, and who through his entire politieal course hae been a consistent capper of the corporations. A BIT OF ADVICE. With a Good Comparison as a Pre- liminary. Beatrics, Neb., May 15. To the Edjtor of Tia Bsx: Well! and as the wisdom of the state has conglomerated and centered for the time being at the capital, af- ter a few short weeks, anyone who reads English, can see the results of the special session parargraphed and whereases in a few amendments and more resolutions on the statute books and congressional records. Mean- while, we of the common herd stretch on tiptoe and crane our necks and open our mouths in wonder to know what the solemn and dignified (some of them) statesmen, -who assemble daily at the new wing intend doing and saying to improve (?) the condi- tion of our beloved state. ‘We don't want to say much about Beatrice this week, only thatthe weath- er is frigid, decidedly so, and some people who have moved stoves that warm day, wish they had said stoyes up again and a good coal fire glowing in the grate; also that the cold snap has hindered the chinch bug, compar- atively harmless, but it also rots in the ground the corn of the farmer and materially diminishes the profits of the sheepman by chilling the life out of the/younglambkins; the usual num- ber of church sociables have been duly noticed from the pulpit and duly attended by everybody who could or would attend. A cold water army was recently organized smong the juveniles, and now its members are industriously engaged solic- iting funds for the printing of tem- perance tracts for gratuitous distribu- tion. Lostly, but not leastly, John Robinson’s mammoth show is coming to take the town; the bill boards are covered with posters, the shops win- dows are glued full of them, and the trio of newspapers brim over with ad- vertisements to the exclusion of other matter, As we said before, we don't want to say much about Beatrice, but we do | 8g want to say in regard to the Univer- sity muddle, though we don't expect to {mlp the matter First, we want to call the attention of the University to her more unpretentious sister, the Normal. Now, while we_ don't say that the members of the Normal fac- ulty agree on all points, they are com- paratively amiable and forebearing on the whole, and pull together in the general intorests of the institution, Half-past 8 a. m. of every achool day socs every teacher in the rostrum and every pupil in his or her place assem- bled for the morning exercises, not one absent without an excuse. An- other thing noticeable during the three or four years the present princi- el has had charge, no one has ever guen known to spit on the floor of the hall or class-room in the Normal build- ivg. Is not that saying a good dealin this expectorating age? As for the uiversity faculty, some three or four are peaceable and neu- tral, the remainder, a wrangling set. As for the infidels and the stoics, we have no use for them; every one knows that sectarian influence is bet- ter than absolute atheism., And the chancellor, bah! let him go, the quicker the better. The idea of the head of a school for both sexes going around giving lectures to the effoct that 4 woman may do just the amount of work a maun does, but on general principles take one-third the wages and be happy. If the regents are in a dilemma, we would advise to appoin* as chunoolfor, one of those old-time eastern professors with enough polish in his manners to awe a whole town into deference. Wisdom and justice and harmony should aud must reign. Bas Brev, Postofice Changes.

Isee by The Neligh Advoeate, of recent date, that this half witted scands] monger, in blowing his slimy horn for the pusillanimous, degraded republican, independent, democrat, nothing—Willie Matthews, of The O'Neill Frontier—gives the latter credit for being one of the reliable re- publican papers on the Elkhorn Val- ley. Lot us see how good a republi- can he is, For two years ago he left Wisconson, where he was and had been for some .time publishing a blatant demceratic paper, leaving a republican paper in Illinois, thus early showing his want of principle and etability—likely because he was illy bred to know anything of real value in either party, or else for lack of manhood, for it is a fact that this same Matthews was before coming to Nebraska a notorious saloonist and gambler, as scores of affidavits of the best men of Wisconsin and Illinois will show. A republican (7) in Tlli- nois, a democrat in Wisconsin, also a candidate for the lower house of the Wisconsin legislature and beaten three to one; and then less than two years ago came to O'Neill City, Neb., and started an independent paper, and finally called it republican, but before starting his paper went into caucus with parties, and agreed that ‘‘if Garfield was elected The Frron- tier would be republican, but if Han- cock, then democratic.” Thus, again, his fickleness coming to the surface. After our representative, Mr. Me- Clure, was duly elected to the state legislature one year ago last fall, The Frontier has left nothing unturned to oppose and belie Mr. McClure with his paper and otherwise; while Mr. McClure is one of the most reliable and able men—a thousand to one superior to Matthews in all that con- atitutes intellectual and moral man- hood. Again, Last fall during and after the senatorial contest in New York, Matthews, in his imbecile and dirty like way, did his utmost to vilify Conkling, Grant and others of that stamp; he kept up this fusilade from early to la‘e, but when the selfish fiend seesa small fish on his hook, he drops all and veers round, and in ar- ticles in his paper tries to ‘‘taffy” the very wing of the republican party that he 8o shortly before condemnad so bit- terly, as files of his paper will show. Ever since he came to Nebraska he has trained with and has pretended to be a supporter of Bruce, Fry, etc., the dirsct enemies of Congressman Valentine, and at the same time courting favors fiom the latter by dishoneaty and misrepresentation. Again, your correspondent has often heard Matthews speaks highly of THE OmanA Bk, and the early files of his paper will show this, too, but now he is bitter against it, thus shcwing him to be utterly without a spark of manhood or principle. He would deceive his best friend, and sell his own brother into Egyptian bondage, as did the brother of old. For two or three months he hay been saying nice little things of and to the farmers of this part of Ne- braska. For what? Fortunately most all know and the rest will soon—for no good. He has acknowledged to the public that he 18a tocl for the republican party, thus acknowledging that he has sold his individuality and indepen- dence. The republican party, how- ever, of this part of Nebraska disown him. He has no claim to any party. This mau's debauchery, gambling, dishonesty, etc., since he came to Nebraska has been, if possiblo, worse than before, of which at other times. His “justice to all,” which he has 80 blatantly published and circulated over the country on large posters which are 8o inconsistent and disgust- ing to the peeple, will be taken up at another time. Is this the kind of republicanism people call good? the kind the party has fought its many brilliant and lorious victories for—why, such would ve buried the party in oblivion long 0. It is just such as he in any party that tends to weaken and finally destroys it. Mathews has played a two-handed game ever since he came to Nebraska. In the language of the Roman —‘better be a dog and bay the moon than such » Roman.” The proof of the above is forthoom- ing at any time and by the best and most reliable. Your correspondent has been a con- stant republican ever since 1860 and is prepared to prove it by the best of evidence, NEBRASKAN, TELEGRAPH BRIEFS. Katienal Associated Pross.

HOME RULE IN A HOG'S BYE, Oa1ro, May 17:—All the ambitious hopes which have been entertained for home rule for Egypt have been wholly destroyed by events which have ocourred during the last few hours. The ministry have humbled themselves before thej khedive, and in this way effected a reconciliation with him, The ministers sent a mes- sage to the French and Eaglish co suls, expressing the hope that the al- lied French and English fleets will be withdrawn, but to thisrequest the con- suls returned a reply that compliance with it would be impossible. The fleet will enter the port, and the French and English consuls will de- mand disbandment of the Egyptian army, and banishment of the colonels who promoted the late emeut, They will also insist upon the liberation of the Circassion ofticers who formed a conspiracy against Arabi Bey, and upon their exile from Egypt. It is difticult to_describe the excitement that prevails here in consequence of these events, but no outbreak of any importanes is feared at preseut.

The steamer Wyoming, which has been expected up from 8t. Louis for several days past, arrived about 7 o'clock last evening and tied up at the foot of Douglas street. She came up to the Union Paocific bridge about noon yestorday and the pilot steered her in between the two piers on the Iowa side, supposiug the channel to still be there. There was not water enough to carry the boat through, and in backing up to tackle the channel, again she run aground and did not get off until about 4 o'clock. The Wyoming isthe largest steamer that has ever gone up the river, being two hundred and sixty feet long, forty-five feet wide with five and one- half foot depth of hold, She has four boilers and two engines, the latter eighteen inches in diameter with a two foot stroke. Her capacity is 16,000 tons ‘and her cabin capacity fifty passengers. The bo was built in Pittsburg two years ago, and has since run between that city and St. Louis. She is now en route to Fort Benton and expeots to return aboutthe 1st of August. The Wyom. ing does not belong to any ot the Up. per Missouri river lines, the Coulsens, who own and run her, being related to Commodore Coulsen, but not con- nected with him in business. The trip is purely experimental and the ofticers are uncertain as to whether they will make a contract with the government for carrying freight or not. Among the officers are: W. W. Coulsen, master. 8. 8. and M. M. Coulsen, clerks. Capt. John Massie, pilot. R. F. Talbot, engineer. There are also about fifty deck hands. The Wyoming left St. Louis May 4th and madea remarkably fast run until she reached Bellevue, Monday morning, when she burned her boiler and was laid up until 8 a, m, to-day, when she came on toward Omaha with the luck already related. The steamer brought one hundred kegs of soda for Steele & Johnson, and one through passenger from St. Louis for Omaha, From this point she receives about fifty tons of miscel- laneous freight and about forty pas- sengers, all for the extreme upper Missouri points. She had but ten cabin passengers on her arrival and about 600 tons of freight.
