_———————— LAIRD'S RECORD ANALYZED. The Jim Crow Cungr&sman From fhe Second District a5 an Artful Dodger, Tho Slave of Monopoly Masters He "Misrepresents the Poople And Votes Against or Dodges All Bills in Their Behalf—A jGood Record for a Funeral, York Times (Rep.) Peopleof the Second district of Ne- braska, how have you been represented in tho last congresa! Have your intorests been carefully looked after, and your wishes been carried out by the man whom you have honored with the high office of momber of congress, and who receive the handsome salary of $5,000 each year for from three to five months work? We publish this week ah abstract of Mr. Laird's record in the last congress, com. piled from the Congressional Record,and ublished in Tue Omama Dainy) Bee geptember 26. To assist the readers of the Times in deciding upon this impor- tant question, we have analyzed the record carefully, and find the following facts, which you can verify by referring to the abatract published in this issue: ‘We find that sixty-seven bllls of general interest, in which every citizen of the Second district of Nebraska is concerned, reached a vote in the house. No man who underatands the import of these va- rlous bills need be long in deciding which side he is on, and upon which side he wants his representative to vote. Yet out of these sixty seven bills your repre- sentative voted on only 37. 1In regard to the passage ot 30 of them he had no voice. BILLS AFFECTING RAILROADS, Mr. Laird, during his candidacy for congress, admitted that he had been a railroad attorney, but promised, if elected to congress, that he would be “‘the attor- ney of the geople." From his record you can judge how well he kept this pledge. Upon all bills directly affecting the U. F. and B. & M. railroads, the two great monopolies of this state, and the only roads between which and the people of this district there is any contest, you will find that he voted in overy case for the railroad except one, when the case was so tlagrant that he dare not vote,and dodged. ‘This was the case of the forfeituro of the U. P, B. & M, and R. P, and C. B. railroads, which came up quite early in the session. Would you vote upon this bill is you had the opportunity, or would you run away from it, as your congress- man did? { On the bill to lower the exhorbitant | rates of railroads for carrying the mails, he voted No. Would you feel badly if the poor railroad companies had to carry the mails for something near what the service is worth? Your congresaman evi- dently would! But that is not all. When the bill came up to increase the postal compen- sation to railroads to §1,006,000, he voted Yes, To increase the pay of railroad postal clerks $300,000, he voted Yes. How hard he did fight for the dear peo- ple agalnst the railroads! But there is more to follow. A bill was introduced to compel the Union Pacific road to pay money into a sinking fund. That is, to commence to day the government the $33,000,000 which that road owes it, and is past due. This time your congressman was there and voted No. Do you think the Union Pacific railroad ought to pay its honest obligations to the government. Your congressman evidently does not! Six bills were introduced declaring the land grants of the various railroads, aside from the U. P. and B. & M., forfelted, and he dodged them all but one. In every case the roads have failed to com- ply with the terms upon which the grants were made, and the hundreds of thous- ands of broad acres of fertile land, legally and rightfully belong to the people, and should be opened to settlers. Would you vote on these bills if you had an op- portunity? Again: s e The improvement of our WATER WAYS indirectly affects the railroads, as to bring them into competition in the carrying trade would circumscribe the power of the railroads and compel them to make their charges more reasonable. When the bill for an appropriation to improve the Mississippi came up before the house, Mr. Laird dodged it. When the motion to lay the river and harbor bill came up for consideration, he dodged it, Would you vote upon these bills if you had an opportunity, or would you run away from them as your con- gressman did? A Dill to strike out the $300,000appro- priation for the Hennepin canal came up and Mr, Laird dodged it. THE WHISKY QUESTION, = ’ A bill was introduced to create a com- mitteo ¢n the traffic in alcohol, Manu- facturers of, and dealers in alcohol don’t want any committee fooling around, Their business needs to be done in the dark as much as possible, and in ways that are dark and tricks that vain, Mr. Laird was on hand to TL8fp his friends of the traffc and voted no. Mer. Laird is a tariff man, running or a tariff platform. He certainly believes in a tariff upsn necessaries, but he does not know whether he believes in a tar- iff on whiskey or tobacco or not, for when the voto to reduce the tariff on these two articles came up he dodged it, AS A PHILANTHROPIST, Your congressman voted in favor ap- propriating from §3 000,000 to $4,000,000 tor letter carriers; $1,050,000 increase to pay railroads companies for carrying the mails, $300,000 increase pay to railroad mail clerks; §2,500,000 to build a navy; $500,000 to complete steel cruisers, placing $250,000 at tho disposal of the president as a secrot service fund; to ap- propriate $31,600 for thres commission- «re to visit South America; in all §6,481,- 500; but when the bill came up to ap- propriate §500,000 for the relief of poor farmers, mechanics and laborers of Ohlo, who had been rendered destitute, home- less, half-naked and starved by the floods, Mr, Laira voted No. THE TRADE DOLLAR, Millions of trade dollars have been purchased by eastern bankers at 80 cents n a dollar, and are hoarded up, with the express intention of having the gov- nment declare them legal tonder, or re- ceive them at face value, in which case they would at once be worth 100 cents on the dollar, and the bankers could unload at a clean profit of twenty-five per cent. : iy OMAHA DAILY BEE THURSDAY OCTOBER 9 1884 winter, and Laird was on hand again to help the job along, and voted Yes. THE SOLDIER'S FRIEND, Mr. Laird voted in favor of making the Mexican pension bill the spoecial order for a cortain day, but when the day arrived he voted against taking it up. When the bill to make appropriations to pay pensions was brought up Mr. Laird dodged it. If you had an opportu- nity would you vote an appropriation to pay the pension of the wounded and dis- abled herves of the late war, or would you run away from it as your congross- man did? Ho voted for the notorious Fitz John Porter bill, and then voted to pass it over the president's veto. The, vote came up on the act regulat- ing pensions and he dodged it. Were the thousands of soldiers in this district en- INEBRASKA AT NEW DRLEANS.

Monday night thero was a elight ripple upon the bommereial sen canacd by the fail- ure of Shrove, Jarvis & Co,, but it was only for a fow hours and then all was as calm and tranquil as bofore the break. The cold weve which struck this sec tion Monday night has had a decidedly stimulating affect. Merchants who have been very gloomy over tho outlook now wear a swoot smile of cententment and one and all express themselves confidont of a first-class trade and that business will open up at once. A littlo spell of this kind will have a tondency to open the pocket books of the farmers and start money to flying.

IMPORTANT BILLS DODGED. It seems as though any man in con- ress could have an opinion upon the fi”ll mentioned bolow. It is cortain that the people of this district have, and are entitled to have their opinions repre- sented in congress. A vote was taken upon the bill to ap- point a committee on woman suffrage, and Mr. Laird dodged it. A bill was introduced requiring the poatmaster general to make reports of special agents on star routes, and Mr. Laird dodged it. An act to remove burdens on American marine and encourage American carrying trade, dodged. Repeal of pre-emption aud timber law, dodged. To rostrain Chinese dodged. To assist the world's fair at New Or- leans, dodged. immigration, SUMMARY, On the 67 bills your congressman yot- ed three times, and no more in harmony with the views and wishes of a majority of the republicans of this distriot, aside from the regular and necessary appropri- ation bills, If you call that being rep- resented in congress, by all means vote for Mr. Laird’s return. We venture to say, & man could not be found in the dis- trict, of any party or any faith who would do less good or more harm. WILLOW AND SPHERE: Again the Evansvilles Fall Before the Union Paclfics—Score 10 to 6, Despite the fact that the weather was agtrifle chilly, a fair audience witnessed yesterday’s game at St. Mary's Avenue park. The whole exhibition was inter- esting and exciting, both sides leading brilliant dashes for victory, and not a few startlingly fine plays were made.

He will take for exhibition 200 bushels of winter apples, 1,100 bushels of wheat and other grains proportion. Besid these various agricultural products there is from this state a fine art depart- ment, a dairy department snd other de- partments representing the several inter- ests of Nebraska, One of the most un- que things will be the Nebraska sod house.
