Ifthe Present Scrateh Proves a Bene- it Another Concession will be Demanded—state se Jot- ungs—City Notes Renton, Cowdery and Steen Talk. LiNCOLY, Neb., Feb, 8.—[Spocial to Tne Bee.]—The state board of transportation, or ther Auditor Benton, Secretary Cowdery and Commissioner Steen, who went to Chi €ago the other day for the purpose of a con- ference with Nebraska railroad managers, relating to freight reductions on corn ship- ments from points in Nebraska to Chicago, make the following statement: ‘‘We havo for several months heen care- fully considering the question of the present freight rates in Nebraska, and the pressnt rates upon the products of Nebraska to the eastern mark: We conclude after a thor- ough investigation of the question that the peoplo of this state are much more intor- ested in obtaining low rates upon the long haul to eastern markets for the products of the state than in any reduction that has been suggested, or that 1t is possible to make in rates on merchandise or in rates within the limits of the state. The ralroaas of this stato have at different periods in the past fifteen years materially re- duced the rate upon corn. The rage rate in 1875 was 431¢ cents; In 1885 82lg cents and in 1880 20/¢ cents. The averago rate under the reduction of 10 per cent would be 207¢ conts per hundred from Ne- braska points to Chicago. By this conces- sion wo secure from the railroads the same rates for that portion of the state east of the 08th meridian as are i force in the western portions of lowa. Tho rates upon the long baul from our state to eastern markets on corn have been and are considerable lower per ton per mile than from lllinois, Iowa, and other states nearer the markets. Tho interests of this state seem to differ from Towa in this respect. It is of vital importance thavthe low rate for long hauls upon products should gradu- ally be rea while the question of local rate upon merchangdise is of comparatively little significance. Acting uvon this conclusion, we passed a resolution Jauuary 28, recommending that the railroads of this state should make a ma- terial reduction in tho rates upon corn to the castern markets, Believing it of great importance that this recommendation should be pushed and the conclusion reached at the carliest practicable date, we called upon the presidents and general managers of ali the roads iaterested in Chicago this week, and obtained a conference with the committee of all of tho roads interested in Chicago on the 5th and 6th inst. We urged upon_them areduction in the corn rate of from Hto 5 cents per bushel, hoping that they would see the importance of making a radical re- duction to meet the present emergency. The present low prices paid for corn in Nebraska and the serious effects resulling therefrom to the welfare of ull of the people of this state were explained in the fullest detail. ‘The railroad people seemed to appreciate the situation and evinced a disposition to do as much as we requested if any positive evi- dence could be produced to show that a radical reduction in rates at this time insure to the benefit of the people of Nebraska. Theseliovo that the present prices at the fixed by supply and demand and are influenced by the millions of bushels now in store waiting export at all seaboard points, The large supply in elevators and on farms in the western states and _also the freight rates now existing are an important élement in the prices now paid in eastern markets. All of the large purchasers of corn in Chicago corroborate the ideas of the railroad people on this point. Theoy believe that a radical veduction 1n rates or any re- duction that would in the presept weak con- dition of tho market stimulate the movement would immediately depress prices to such an extent that the producers in the west would receive no benetit. We would like to have had our recommendations for a material reduc tion carried out. We think that the expori- ment perhaps would not have resulted in a suficient additional movement of corn to have seriously affected the markets. It must be admitted, however, that thero 18 & vood deal to be said upon the other side of this question at the present time. We finally obtained from the rairoads a reduction of 16 per cent from the present rates on corn from Nebraska as is explained in the resolution passed by the Traus-Missouri assvciation, omprising all the roads interested in Ne- braska trafic hereto attached. No conces- stons, pledges or promises were made by the board as regards future rates, and 1f this proposed reduction proves to be u benefit to the producers after a reasonable trial the board will demand further reductions. The reduction is a move in the right direction, If the markets are not affected by the reduc- tion it will save to the farmers of this state more than $1,500,000, GOVERNOR THAYER TO MES. GOUGAR. STATE OF NEDRASKA, EXECUTIVE DEPART- WENT, LiNe Neb., Fob, 7, 1800.—Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, Lafayotte, Ind., Madame Your communication of the 25th ult., asking me to convene tho legislature to confer tho right of suffrage upon women was only res two days ago, In auswer thereto I am compelled by a sense of duty to say that I cannot comply with your request, In my judgment there is nothing in the present ion of public affairs that requires or can jusufy such a measure, You kindly wform me that you will give your letter to the public at once and_request all men aud women in Nebraska who may read your open lotter to write to their gov- ernor expressing their wishes in this matter. Now, my good lady, I cannot be moved by any special feelings of gratitude toward you for causing to flow in upon me such an avalanche of letters, My correspondenco Ty siready hoavily burdencd, incideat to the remarkable growth of this state and the in- crease of its popalation. \’arhrelpeclrull_y yours, Joux M, THAYER. P, 5,—The legislature if convened would have no power to extend the iranchise to women. Thut can only be done by the adoption of a constitutional wmendment; such an amendwent was submitted to the people in 1851 and was defoated by an ad- verse vote of two to one. Jo M.

REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS The Daily Tax List Presents Another Bill Whicn is Promptly Tabled ~Other Business Trans- acted, Must Do the Work Alone. At the regular session of the county com- missioners yesterday afternoon Mr. Turner occupied the chai Chairman Anderson being absent, wrestling with 1a grippe. The county attorney submitted a long communication which showed the amount of business transacted by himself ana assist- ants during the year 1850, and also showed the expense ot the oftice during the vast year as compared with that of the preceding year, He recited the duties of the ofMce and s inability to attend toall of the work him- seli. Mr. O'Keeffe offered & resolution to place tho communication on file and to authorize the county attorney to_reappoint his three assistauts, -Mr. O'Keoffe explainod his atti~ tude by saying thut when the board pur- chased the block on which the court house stands paid $25,086 for it. Of this amount $3,850 was taken from the sinking fund, which was contrary to law. Now, however, the block is worth over 300,000, which shows the wisdom of the move, although it was illegal. The office of the county attorney is one which requires the attornoy to b présent at all orim- inal prosccutions in person or by dep- uty, and to make out complaints against criminals in the police court. If the county attorney was required to do all this work alone the result would be that some of the prosecutions would zo by defauit and the county would suffer. It was thorefore just as necessary for the board to authorize this expenditure as it had been to purchase the court house lot, and he, for one, was of the opinion that if the board could show the peo- ple that by spenaing $1 thoy could save $10 hie was not afraid ot the statutes. Tho question was called, Messrs, O'Keeffe and Corrigan voting in the aflirmative and Messrs, Turner and Berlio in the negative. The chairman declared the motion lost. Mr. ‘Turner excused his vote by saying that the county attorney had not, asked for assistance since the board had ‘‘knocked out” his three assistants. The oficial bond of Thomas Richie, as justice of the peace of Union precinct, was referred to tho judiciary committee, Poor Agent Mahoney submitted reports, snowing the name and age of inmates of the poor farm for the six months ending De cember 31, 1880, . Frank E. Moores, clerk of tho district court, reported $104 trial fees collected during the last quarter of 188 The oflicial bonds of Charles W, Allen as constable and Dominick Cosgrove as nssessor of the Third ward were approved. The tax commissioners of the Chicago, St, Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway company made a formal demand for the ro- payment of all rosd and bridye taxes upon four and seven-hundredihs miles of the com- pany’s road in the city as illegal and un- authorized Dr. R.

The board received seven bids from drug houses last Sebtember, which were re- ferred to the committee of the whole. The committee allowed the bids to sink into innocuous desuetude, and the drugs were purchased at retail prices. Mr. Corrigan moved that the bids be rejectod and the county clerk be directed to readvertise. ‘The special committes reported that they had examined rooms for the district court in the New York Life and Bee buildings, and scomniended1 that threo ‘rooms on the second floor of the latter building be rented for a rental of §1,200 per year. The board adjourned until noxt Saturday at 2 o'clock. medi- That Honor Belongs to Lake, Sioxey, Neb., Feb. 5.—(Special Telegram to Tus Bee.|—The national colors wero hoisted over the publio scheols here today with appropriate ceremonies, Prof. McCoy claims that this 18 the firat school in Ne- braska to raise the American flag, General Morrow and other officers from the fort were Dresent, also the regunental band.

About Septomber 1 Inst a traveling agent of Tue Bre suggested the advisability of reaching a certain country which Tur Bie could not then, owing to train arrangements, reach on the day of pub- Lication. ‘Timo schedules were examined for night freights, but none were availablo owing to the early hour at which they left Omaha. The matter was allowed to rest a week or 8o, when renewed action in the matter was stirred up by the receipt of the following letter: Davio Crry, Neb., Sept. 15.—To Tue Oxana Ber—Geatlemen: This town gets no unday papers, and your many subscribers would appreciate it is a great favor if you could 8o arrange it as to get the papor hero on the Elkhorn freight on Sunday, There would in uddition to that be sale for a_num- ber of extra copios on that day.

Tho circulation department then deter- mined to carry out a scheme which it had been cogitating for some days, resulting in an attempt to carry the papers from Valloy, where they could be dropped by tho early Kansas City train on the Union Pacific, to Fremont, twelve miles distant, and there loaded on the Elkhorn freight mentioned in the letter from slr. Steele. On Sunday, September 8, an attempt to carry out this programme resulted in disas tor. " The velocipede by two attaches of four miles of Kremont, collided with a freight train, the papers scattered broad- cast, and the car reduced to fragments, tho operators narrowly escapiog instant destruc- tion. This dash of cold water, however, was not sufiicient to quench tho spark of ente prise,and on the following Sunday the papers wero taken across by team and delivered in Freniont ahead of all compotitors, but not 1 time to cateh the freight.
