THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:- FRIDAY, APRIL 5 1889 WITHROLDS HIS APPROVAL, The Governor's Reasons For Veto- ing Benate File No. 10. A MEDLEY OF CONTRADICTIONS, Ansufiicient Quarantine Protection Guaranteed to the Live Stock Owners of the State—Lan- coln News and Notes, Lixcorx BUureAu oF Tre OMATA Bar, 1020 P Strert, LixcowLy, April 4. The following is the full text of Governor Mhayer's .reasons for vetoing senate file No. 10. StaTE OF N MENT, LINCOL 8d day of Apr EBRASKA, vTIvE DEPART- Neb., April 3, 1830.—On this S80, 1 file with the secre- tary of state of braska, senate file No. 10 entited, “‘An act to repeal chapter 4 of the laws of 1887, designated in the compiled statutes of 1887 as articles 2, of chaper 4, ana to provide for the protection of the health of the domestic animals of the state from con- tagious and. infectious discases,” without my approval, and file herewith my objections to the same, which are: 1. Article 2, chapter 4, compiled statutes of 1887, provides an effective quarantine against the shipment into this state of southern cattle. This act repeals that statute and is a substitute for the same, and purports to give uarantine protection which it fails to do. he statute of 1587 fixes a penalty in the wum of Trom $100 to €,000 for any persons or corporations which violate the quarantine establishod by law. This provision isen- sly omitted in this bill and gives the state yeterinarian no power to enforce the govern- ing quarantine against persons or corpora- tions, leaving the railroads free to flood the state with southern cattle to infect the herds of Nebraska, That this provision of the law of 1857 has been a public blessing, and that 1ts repeal would be a public ealamity, needs no argument. 1 am certain that tho effect of this unforturate change in the law must have been overlooke the legislature or it eould never have received its sanction, 2. It authorizes the taking and destruction of private property and makes no rovision for compensating the owner, n this respect it is in direct viola- tion of section 21, of article 1,j0f the con- stitution, which provides that “‘the property of no person shall be taken or damaged for })\ml.h: use without just compensation there- or.! B, There is a section in this bill approvriat- ing the sum of $10,000 for carryingout its pro- wvisions. If this act were otherwise valid, it ‘would be wholly inoperative,unless this appro- priation is available to carry it into effect. 3ut the most cursory examination reveals the fact that the section appropriating this money is wholly void, and for two very good xeasons, viz: one of which is, that the appro- riation is not clearly expressed in the title, n fact, it is mot expressed at all. The other is, that this bill originated in the sen- ate, and under the constitution all bills ap- propriating money mustoriginato in the house of representatives. Inthisrespect, therefore, this ‘act is in contravention of the provis- fons of sections 9 and 11, of article 8, of the constitution, of which section 9 reads as fol- lows: “Any bill may originate in either house of the legislature, except bills appro- priating money, which 'sball originato only in the house of representatives.” If it ba claimed that the amendment making this ap- propriation, put on the bill by the house, originated in and was treated by the house a8 a bill, I answer that it was iutroduced in the house in violation of article 3, section 4, of the constitution, which declares that after the expiration of forty days of the session no bill or joint resolution of the natureof a Dill shall bo introduced, unless the governor shall by special message call the attention of the legislature thereto, But it is a senate bill, It comes to me as senate file No. 10, witih the following certificate.upon it. “I certify that the within act originated in the senate, and passcd the senate March 28, 1580." WALTER M. SERLEY, Secretary of the Senate," 1If [ approved this bill, it takes its piace amony the statutes of the state with the evi- dence upon it that it did not originate in the Touse of representatives, and yet it does ap- propriate money. Here is this glaring and incontestible evidence of the inconsistency of the bill, and its plain, palpable violation of the constitutional provision already quoted. 1t originated in the senate, and yet it makes. ®n appropriation of money. Again, if it was regarded as a bill, as it came from the house, 1t was not read on three separate days in the senate, d is therefore a violation of the constitution. 4. This bill makes no provision for the penalty of violation of its provisions. The Veterinarian created by the measure is en- irely powerless to_enforce any order which e gives; he can call on no one to assist him. He may give orders, but his orders may be treat®d with derision. The present live stook commission law which this bill pro- poses to repeal, declaresa “the live stock agent or veterinarian_shall have the power 0 call upon any sheriff, under sheriff, deputy sheriff or constable, to ' exccute their orders, and such officer shall obey the order of said ageuts or vo orinarian,” ectc., and ‘tany officer may arrest without a warrant and tako before any magistrate of the county, mny person found violating the provisions of this act, and such officers shall im- mediately notify the county at- torney of such arrest, and he shall prosecute the person so offending according to law.” Section 22 of the same act provides as fol- Jows: **Any person who shall violate, dis yegard, or evade auy of the rules, rogula- tions, orders, or directions of the live stock pgents, establishing and governing quavan- tine,shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor sod on conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than $100 nor moro than $5,000.” These stringent ordors with the powers conferred, and the penalties pro- wided have proved most effective aud sall- tary in preventing the introduction into the stato and the suppression of contagious dis- eases, and 10 preventing the introduction of cattle bearing the germs of Texas or Spanish fever. All these provisions are repealed by the measure I am considering, The present pigid quarantine laws prohibit the fntroduction of Texas cattle into Nebraska, except Texas beef cattle for immedlate ploughter, in which case they are taken direct to the stock yards, where they are placed in separate pens and run through Bepurate chutes, from which all other cattle are excluded. The Texas cattle may be erfectly healthy and sound and killed for eef, and yet they bear with them the germs of o 'disease, perfectly harmless to them- selves, but which fs deadly to our nutive cattle, 1 have to-day positive and direct evidence from Texas that partics there are holding several thousand head of cattle to be shipped into and through Ncbraska to akota, They are only waiting for the rais- ng of our quarantine law. One party has already applied to me for permission to ship 6.000 head to the northern part of this etate. If we once open the doors, Texas cattle will cover the vange of worthern Nebraska, Dakota gnd Wyoming. I have reason to believe that there is a purpose concealed in this bill to which reference has not been made. I be- lieve the parties themselves who desired the passage of this bill are aware that it will not tand the test of constitutional scrutiny. hey aim to take the bill to the supreme court, and trusting that that tribunal will doclare the law, except the repealing clause, nconstitutional, but leaving the repealiug aw us valid, That will wipe out the live stock law of 1887, when the restrictions :fil it the introduction of Texas cattle will o 5. oved, . Section 20, which senate file No. 10 pro- poses to repeal,read as follows : “Thatthe live Block agents bo authorized and directed to co-operate with the commissioner of agricul- ture of the United States, or any authority of the government, the suppression snd extirvation of any and all con- tagious diseases among domestioanimals and in the enforcement and execution of any and acts of congress to prevent the importa- on or exportation of diseased ocattle, and the spread of infectioys oF contagious dis- eases among domestio snimals.” The sec- slon just quoted was a legislative acceptance on the part of Nebraska of the provisions of section 8, ohapter 00, of the United States tatutes of 1584, which reads as follow “That it shall be the duty of the commis- sioner of agriculture to prepare snch rules d regulations ns he may deem necessary or the speedy and offectun) suppression and extirpation of said diseases, and to cortify such rules and regulations to the exccutive uthority of each state and territory, and to ’mu- said anthorities to co-operate in the txccution and the emforcemeut of this act, whenever the plans and methods of the com- missioner of agriculture shall be ac- copted by any state or territory in which pleuro-pheumonia or other contagious or in. fections disenses or communioable disease is declared to exist, or such state or territory shall have adopted plans and methods for the suppression and extirpation of said discases, and such plans and methods shall be ac cepted by the commissioner of agriculture, and whenever the governor of a state or other properly constituted authorities sig- nify their readinoss to co-operate for the ex- tinction of any contagious, infectious or communicable disease in conformity with the provisions of this act, the commissioner of agriculture is hereby authorized to expend 80 much of the money appropriated by this act as may be necessary in such investiga- \ions and in such infection and quarantine measures as may be necessary to vent the spread of the dise one state or territory into anothe: thus be seen that by the acoeptance of the rules and regulations which the commis- sioner of agriculture has laid down, we are entitled to, and should receive, all' the aid and co-operation which the government could extend in exterpating contagious animal dis- eases, and that the government would pay its own expenses incurred in supprossing tho contagious diseascs, But the hovernment will not extend to us that aid unless we ao- cept the rules and regulations as required. This state has by law accepted them, but if senate file No. 10 becomes a law the accept- ance is withdrawn, and we cannot call upon the government for assistance. 1 am com- pelled to believe that this branch of the sub- ject was wholly overlooked by the legisla- ture, 6. The veterinarian, provided for in the first zection, is required to execute a bond with good and sufficient security in the sum of $5,000. Suppose he killsdiseased animals; this bills prohibits the payment of any in- demnity of the animals thus slain. Does not the veterinarian render himself liable for the value of the animals killed by him, in case owners should decide to bring suit to recover the valuc of the animals thus slaughtered, and what is to prevent their recovery of such damages for the loss of the animal! ana will the veterinarian place himself in that posi- tion! Where are tne responsible men. who ‘would be willing to go_upon his bond under such cncumstances! He is liavle for any animal he kills, if the parties choose to bring action, and they undoubtedly would. Many will recall the fact that some four or five years ago droves of Texas cattle wore shipped to Brady islund. a fow stations this sideof North Platte, also to Ogalallaand Val- entine, and as the results during the year, over $100,000 worth of native cattle died of Texas fever imported by these herds. On the 31st day of March, 1587, the day boforo the quarantine including Texas cattle was to £0 1nto effect, a herd was shipped into Ne- braska and taken Tekaman; asa consequenc some 300 head of native cattle died thero from Texas fever. These facts prove how vigilantly the state must guard against the introduction of cattle from that state. Section 12, of senate file 10, provides a pen- alty for any person who brings cattle afflicted with contagious or infectious diséases into the state, but as I havealready shown, Texas cattle have no contagious or infectious dis- e, like, for instance, pleuro-pneumonia, and aro therefore not included by this sec- tion, Section 15 of the same bill, senate file No. 10, authorizes the governor to declare a quarantne against infected districts in other states; but provides no penalty for railroads disregarding the quarantine, and the gov- ernor has no power to enforce any penalty against them; therefore, Texas cattle could be brought into this state without let orhind- rance, and the state would have no power to enforce any penalties for such violations. There are parties having vel extensive contracts with the government for furnish- ing beef to the various Indian agencies in Dakota. They can lay down Texas cattle at those agencies at about $7 or $3 a head less cost than they can deliver native cattle there. To disclose this purpose more fully: Sup- pose they are required to deliver ot the different agencies during the yoar 25000 head; $ a hend on his number would yield the large sum of $175,000. If they could fill the contract with l'exas cattle” they would de- rive this enormous profit. Here is the s cret of the whole business unmasked., Here this villainous scheme is laid bare. The vas, cattle interests of Nebraska are to be in part sacrificed to the spirit of greed and gain, I should regard myself as culpable in the ex- treme, did I not use overy power at my com- mand to prevent such a calamity from com- ing upon the great cattle interests of Ne- braska. ‘This bill, senate file No. 10, as origmally drawn, repealed the live stock law of 1857 in its entirety, and provided nothing in its place. Ivopened the barriers completely for the admission of cattle from Texas. The bill passed the senate, but did not faro as well in the house. It was defeated. Some- thing must bo done, A new scheme mustjbe devised. The substitute, which I have al- ready discussed was prepared and was car- ried by the house, and was agreed to in the senate. ‘This substitute was most adroitly framed, ~so much 80, that most persons weuld be deceived in reading it, as upright and faithful membvers of the two'houses, and with honest inten- tions, voted for it. With no disrespect to anyone who sup- ported the measurc, I am compelled to say that it is a medley of contradictions and ab- surdities from every point from which it is considered. 1t is conspicuous with its incon- sistencies and is obscure with its real inten- tions. It was conceived in iniquity outside the legislature before the session of the same Dbegan. It has been managed so artfully, and has been pushed through with such energy and such plausible reasons, that honest legis- lators did not discover the purpose concealed within it. This is vicious and pernicious legislation, for its effect. should it become a law, will strike a disastrous blow at one of the greatest, most important, and most far- reaching mterasts of the state, tho cattle interest, It peeds no argument to convince any one of the nctual necessity for protect- ing these intorests at all times and under all circumstances, For these reasons I withhold and signature from thi file No. 10. Joux M. Tuaven, Wellington's Crime and Capture, The necessary papers for the return of Guy Wellington, alias G. A. Mitchell, to Council Grove, Morris county, Kansas, wero signed by Governor Thayer to-day, and E. P. Perkins, deputy sheriff, departed with Wellington for the scene of the crime this afternoon. Wellington is wanted at Councii Grove on the charge of murder, 1t is learned that ho shot his step-father, 15, E. Crandall, on the 2ith of Pebruary last, who died on the 31st day of March from the effects of the wound received at the time. The history of the crime is told 1 a few words. On the day of the shooting, young Wellington, ‘who is & rnil\\'n{ brakeman, visited his mother and al leges that he learncd from ber lips that Cran dall abused ber, and that during the day his visit an altercation took place bet his mother and step-father, and that he struck her with bis fist, whereupon he pulled his revolver and shot bim down, This story the deputy shenif says, his mother verifics. Just prior to Crandail's death, however, his anti-mortem statement was taken and lLe alleges that Wellington *“*shot him down with- out any provocation whatever.” It seems that his word goes ful with tho citizens of Council Grove than the combined word of the mother and son. Craudall, the deccased, was a railway engineer. The day Crandall was shot young Wel- lington was placed under arrest and put in charge of a supposed reliable guard. But it is given out that tho guard nc- cepted @ bribe and that _the prisoner was permitted to escape. But, though cautious, he left the vars down that led to his recapture, He assumed the vame of G. A. Mitchell, and shortly after arriviag in Chevenne county, where he bas relatives, he wrote to his motbior. In tiis he made his mistake. The postmastor knew the hand- writing of Mrs. Crandall, and when she an- swered the letter, addressed to G. A, Mitch- oll, at Siduey, Cheyenne county, he con- veyed his suspicious to the sheriff and he acted upon it with the result already known. Sheriff Eubank was notified vy letter and he watched the postofico at Sidnoy from day to day, and finally got on to his man by the merest accident. C. J. Swith, who lives in the brakes, some thirty miics nortbwest of Sidney, happened to display two let tors he had addressed to Mitchell while in a grocery store in Siduey, and, like asleuth hound, "he kept on his™ tral until woll en routs bowe, when the sherilt of Cheyenne county made himself kuowu to him and told him what he wanted. Smith was surprised. He knew nothiog of Mitohell, gave the oficer tie lotters and told him wherg the owner could be found. It seem that Mitcliell bad heard that Smith wad going to Sidney on that day, April 1, and he @ave him anorder for his maii, In showing my approval bill, being * scnato the lotters he had taken from the office; to a companion in a casual way, the sheriff was enabled to gain the clue that subsequently led to the prisoner's rearrest. Eubank lost no time in reachin, oung Wellington's temporary abodie, which was with his aunt, a Mrs. Cramer, and two or three cousins, in one of the wildest portions of western Ne- braska. Thore was a_commotion when the sheriff made his wants known. Mrs, Cramer was wild with grief. The cousins, though indignant, offered uo resistance and Welling- ton gave up without a word. The prisoner 18 a fine looking young man about twenty-seven years of age. There is nothing of the rufian about him in manner or appearance, Hoe possesses more than or- dinary intelligence and his Learing is that of a gentleman in every sense of the word. The deputy sheriff says that ho was nnder the influence of liquor at the time of the shooting and first arrest. He .declined to give the route he would take home for tie reason that Wellington’s friends might again attempt to svirit him away. Wellington spent last night in the Lancaster county jail, Supreme Court Proceedings. The case of Campbell va Wells was con- tinued; that of Downing vs Glenn argued and submitted.

General E. F. Test, the statisticlan sends the following to Tnz BEz: A glanco at the school census just com- pleted, shows a population of 121,458 in Omaha estimated as follows by wards: First Ward, i 120,238 Second Ward. 3 21,198 Third Ward Fourth Ward Fifth Ward. xth Ward. oventh Ward Bighth Ward. Ninth Ward. 10,260 99 This shows an increase of nearly 97 per cent in four years, and 255 since the United States census of 1580, Ilor the four years this will make an annual increase of about 24 per cent; for the nine years, an anouai av- erage increase of 32 per cent. Taking the smaller as the more conservative standard of increase per annum in eleven years this will be equal to an increase of 264 per cent. But as tho city grows in sizo the percentage of increate must naturally decrease. Therefore a consevative estimate will place it about 200 per cent by 1900. This will give Omaha a population of nearly 365,000 peopie by that time which is much too small when taking into consideration the astonishing develop- ment of the states and territories west of the Missouri, While Omaha has grown rapidly in the past, the future presents a far more hopeful outlook. We must not stand ‘*‘idle all day - long,” looking to this thing and_that, or wait for somebody to come m and help us, The people of Omaha have made tho city what it is, and_there is virtue and enery left to carry it forward to its manifest de tiny—the great inland city of the continent. A8 a city we must assert ourselves, There are still thousands upon thousands of square miles of territory that must be made tribu- tary to us, Among these are the oil regions of Wyoming and Colorado, the undeveloped mioes of the west, the anthracite coal re- gions of Colorado, Wyoming and Dakota, the wheat fields of Dakota and the greaf stock ranges of the northwest, south and west. The fortile fields of Kansas and N braska are at our door, and some of these, the most desirable have yet to hear the whis: tle of the locomotive haulmg their valuable freights to and_from the Omaha markets, When Omaha, South Omaha and Albright come together' as one solid city, which can not bo accomplished any too soon, here will be tho empire city of the wost, with a future s0 prolifio in prosperity and influence no man of the present generation can foretell.

Miller Proposes to Perpetuate His Memory. Gracing the top of a wooden box resting on a porch of the tomporary homeof Dr. George L. Miller, at the corner of Twenty-first and Burt streets, is a bronze bustof the late Horatio Seymour. It is of heroic mold and magnificent outline, and is an exact reflex of the subject in his later years. The bust stands on a base of bronze lighter in color than itself, The owner of this work of art, Dr. George L. Miller, glanced admiringly at it, and said : “lam trying to find a suitable temporary exposure for the cast and if the peovle wiil cot it down street,where the public can view it conveniently. I regurd this cast as rather a possession of the public than ming, for Mr. Seymour was a_public man, He was governor of New York and a candidato for the presidency in 1568, “Of course 1 have a lively personal interest in the man. He was my associate in pelitical life thirty-five years and supported e ver, ardently for the postmaster generalship un- der Cleveland. 1 named the park out here which covers about five hundred acres in his honor. ““The strongest motive in so doing was, on behalf of the people of Omaha, the commer- cial center of the prairio regian, to oxpross the great appreciation of the service of Mr. Seymour in promoting the growth of timber. Tor more than twenty-five yoars he was the counselor of the cultivation of trees on the plains, and was as familiar with Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, and the prairie states wenerally, as he was with his own. During the twenty-four years of my editorial lite on the Herald I was in constant correspondence with him on the subject of tree plant- mg, and visits to hun two or threo timos a year resulted always in the discus- sion of the commercial. healthful and artis tic value of tree planting in country and town. The whole subject wus covered by him, He was a great student of this ques tion of nature. I have walked with him into the forest adjacent to his home at Deorgeld, N. Y., (he was known as the sage of Deer- field), and heard many discourses on the characteristivs of the different trees ani their ofMces in the economies of nature, how the deciduous trees fed at the surface and others were nourished below “I consider this bust a work of art,” con- tinued the doctor, *‘and it stands in my esti- mation among the finest I ever saw. its art appeals to everybody who looks at it. It presonts the features of the face, contour of the nead and brain and the expression of the eye as if it were & painting. The artist was David Richards, a Welshman who was chosen for the. work by Hon. John F\. Seymour, of New York, at my request. Tt has received the warm approval and admira- tion of Mr. Seymour, Mrs. Roscoe Conkling, Governor Seymour’s sister, and Mrs. Rutgor B. Miller, another sister, and all the mem. bors of the family and the people of Utica eneraily, hnls that this bust is of more than per- sonal interest,” concluded the gentleman, *‘and that such a specimen of art in honor of o distinguished American as has boen brought here should decorate the park that bears the name of Seymour. 1 intend when the uime shall come to place it upon its pedestal, which will be of the most durable stone obtainable, to ask some of the leading spirits of Omaha to assist me in formally dedicating the bust and honoring the memory of the great man." sl e A New Train.
