THE BIG SIX. i,hm“l Correspondence of $ke Lee. ) BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES OF, 810 MEN, Liscouw, January 15.—There are six men in the senate who attract at- tentlon from a distinct group, dis- tinguished and related by their physi- cal proportions. They are each six feet in height and turn the scale at pounds or over. Remove them and the reet of the senate consists of average s z3d men, It is & fact that big bodics, big braine and big hearts generally go to- gether, and the instarcs now referred to isno exception, Tho six men are Brown of Lincaster, Brown of Clay, Harrison of Hall, Hiest of Cheyenne, Connor of Buffalo, and Fisher of Ne- maha, HARRISON, (¥ HALL, is a native of Ohio, He mede geveral effurts to enlist in the union army, but was rejocted on accouat of his youth After leaving Ohio he visited Califor nia and Oregon, but concluded that Nebraska was the best etate in the anion for 8 young man and settled at Grand Jsland, where he practices as a lawyer. In 1876 he was deputy county treasurer of Hall county, and from that time to January, 1882, he was county judge. He was elected to the senato as & straight republican, but believes in the necessity of railroad legislation. To use his own language, ‘1 don’t believe any anti-monopol desires to see legislation on this sub. ject more than I do, but 1 believe the republican party is eqnal to the work. Icis and alwaya has been the party of law and order, and it wlll do justice in this case between the people and the corporations,” EROWN OF CLAY, is a native of New York, but resided in Michigan at the breaking out of the war and volunteered from tha! state. Since coming to Nebraska he has been a merchant and 18 a prosperous man His people have ahown their confidence in him by making him a county commissioner and justice of the peace. He was elected to the senate on the straight republican tickes but declares himself in favor of rallroad legislation or “‘regulation’ as he calls it. He knows of instances of fvjustice and wants that these should be prevented. He approves of the object of the anti monopolists, but not of thetr methods, HELT, OF CHEYENNE, came to Nebraska some years ago, as mary others have dove, without 1122 and almcst without hope, He had studied law and posscased goodmatural abillty, and was not long in making friends and carrying ont a course for himself which has landed him at last in the state sepate. He was a dele gate to the national convention which nominated Haves, Fisher, of Nomaha, will ba noticed hereafter, all efforts to find him for an interview for this letter proving use- less. 8 CONNOR, OF BUFFALO, came to Nebraska twelve yeaas ago from Indiana, where he had uu\u[.;lod several impo t+ * rolitical praitions. h Dauring the w. s roh lies he fairly earned th.. ' e was chsirman cf the Inaisu. N ean state contral committee from 1560 w 1861 and a delegate to the national convention that nominated Lincoln in 1864 and Grant in 1865 for pre Ilent of the Uated S'ates. Though his head i3 silvired his energy aud health are apparently undiminiehed. The genera!, always a prominent factor in the politics of the state, has become distinguished lately by his adoption of the cause of the people azainat the raliroada, and his eloquent harangues, sustained by facts and fig- ures, has had much to do in changing the relation of polltical parties in Ne- braska during the last campalgn. At this time he appears to be the first choice of anti-monopolists for a re- publican Uuited States senator, and whether the general leaves the stat: senate or remains, he will do good work for the people he represents. RROWN, OF LANCASTER, last, but by no means least of the sir, is a native of New York, but has ro slded In this state twelve years. Hie youth was one of toil, and means of mental improvement were few, but energy overcame every obstacle, and to-day he is one of the leading mem- bers of the bar of this state. He took his part in the war, His attention has boen devoted chicfly to the equity branch of his profession and he has built up a mag uificent practice. The city of Lincoln hade bim its mayor, and this is his second term in the state senate. He might without flattery be called the Nestor of the senate, since no other member has had the same length of legislative experience, accompauied byage. Mr. Brown wae and always hae been eleted aa a straight repub- lican, Ho is a hard worker in ctlistal as well asin ctlise lifo. For many years ho has never failod to put in twelve houra a day at hard study or labor, and as the result he i+ reputed to be worth at least $§100,000. When asked as-to the legislation he thought imperative at the present time, he said: *‘We must do something in the way of judiclous railway legislation for the relicf cf the people and the con- tinued existence «f the republicans in this state,” Sach are the big six, to whom it is impossible to do justice in so brief a sketch, Theso are the merr whom it is proposed to buy up like cattle in the market, IT CAN'T BE DONE. Thero are men in this legislature all the wealth of Omahs could not buy, much less that of a siugle man. They have repatations to sustain, families to whom if they leave nothing else they wiil leave a spotless name and consclences whose approval thoy esti- mate above all things, Whoever dares to try will find bribery with this legislature as ruinous as it proved to Pomeroy of Kansas and even to eoms who in past times have triea it in Ne- braska, The day for that has happily passed and there are men in this legislature who will, it neccessary, tell how they were tampered with before they came h.k:d how they have been pester- ed +hey their seats, but none who X ikeir hands and blast their futare political pros- pects by accepting a bribe. WH the democrats should be re- gard and registered as licensed pol- | mp, itical proptitutes,I don's know. Their past has not justified such a severe imputation, and now they will be found if unable to make the U. 8. senator voting as their convictions dictate. VAN WYCK'S WORK. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE SENATOA ON IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, Special Correspondence of The Boe. LiNcowLy, January 156 —“I sce by the newepapers, geueral,” said a Ber reporter to General Van Wyck to-day, *‘that you aro charged with stopping the building cf a railroad through the northern part of this state. Would you have any objection to telling a reporter of THe Owana Bee what there is in it?" General Van Wyck—None in the least. In the first place, there were some people who went up into the northern part of Nebraska and set- tled upon & tract of land, supposing that they were outaide of the military reservation, but it afterwards trans- pired that they were on the reserva- tion. These eettlers had made a con- siderable number of improvements. The Sicux City & St. Paul railroad wanted to build their road through this reservation and congressional action was cesired. The first bill was introduced into the house and gave them the right of way, and also al- lowed them to eecure 320 acres of land. They had no more right to in- slst upon buytog this land than the Fremont settlers A bill passed the senato recognizing the rights of the settlers and the bill that passed the house only recognizad the rights of the railroa, but modified so as to sllow them only forty acres. The senate passed the hovas bill recogniz- ing the rights of the settlers; to that the frieuds of the railroad would not conseut, and neither bill became alaw. After adjournment of congress the officer in command at the reservation ARBITRARILY AND WITHOUT AUTHORITY from the war department, destroyed all the Improvements of the settlers and at the same time undertook to give to the railroads what congress had not yet granted—the right to build their road through the reserva- tion “‘Upon learning of these facts I fn- troduced a resolution to know by what authority a railroad was granted the right to build while the property of mettlers was destroyed, and why the difference between the railroad and the settlers, Tho result is the pending investigation, and work on the road has been suspended. Nelther myself nor the senate desired to stop the building of a railroad through the reservatlon, but we were determined that the rights of private citizens should be respected " “‘Now, Senatcr, how about the MAIL CONTRACT TO fHE BLACK MILLS that you are charged with having had suspended!” “In tho first place,” «ald the sema tor, “two new mail ‘routes ranning throogh Rapid City to Deadwoed were established, one from Fort Nio- brara, Nebraska, and the other from Chamberiain, D.kota, on the Missouri river. Kach route was abouat 200 miles long, running the entire dis- tance through the Indian reservation, aund no whites living thereon. I in- troduced a resolution asking for infor- mation from the postmaster general. He replied, stating that the postmas ters st Fort Niobr Rapid City, D:adwood and Chamberlain had recommended the service. This reply was referred to the com- mittee on postc flices and postroads At a later day I introduced a bill to repeal 8o much of the law of the last seasion that estab the two new routes; at the same time I offcred a resolution asking the postmaster gen- eral to withhold letting for service on said routes. When the resolation came up in the senate for discussion it was cpposed by Allison and Ingalle, but was passed by a two-thirds vote. The contract has not been let, but the pcetmaster general has advertieed for proposals for daily service om both routes. I wish to say that Rapid City and Deadwood have each two daily mail routes in operation at this time— one from Sidney and one from Fort Plerre, and with the proposed addi- tion they would have mail service four times a day.” “What can you tell; me concerning the ST. JOE AND DENVER RAILROAD LANDS, Ilbmyxt which we have read so much of atel” ‘‘Nothing particularly new. The bill f last session is in the house, having passed the senate, and s in o fair way to become a law. 1t was un- derstood that Knevals and others, and persons owning lands, were will- ing to compromise on being paid $2 [0 or $2.75 per acre, as a basis of settle- ment, It was then tnought by the friends of the settleinent that the Un- ited States should bo willing to pay to them the minimum price ¢f public Jands within railroad limits, Such a bill was presented and passed the sen ate last session, but since the decis- ion of the supreme court an appeal has been made to the fiars f the set- tlers to induce to them to compromise, but they have been advised by their friends not to any thing of the kind, a8 it is confidentially expect d a settl « ment can be made with Knevals & Co. on the same terms congrees sl lows the settlers, Nail Mills Burned.
