The house went into committee of the whole to consider bills on the general file, A bill by McCutcheon to repeal the sugar bounty was taken up, Dobson (Iud.) said he did not belleve the law Is constititional. He had never hoard of any one offering a bounty on his business, and believed thav every industry should stand or fall on its own merits. The doctrine of the independent party is “equal rights for all, and special privileges for none,” and he proposed to stand by that declaration, Breen thought the sugar industry should bo encouraged, and, it possible, deveioped until Nobraska should produce suficient for Liowe consumption, Sternsdorff agreed with Dobson and as- serted thut fraud and deception had been practiced upon the farmers. They had been promised § per ton for beets, but only real- ized about one-half of that sum, “The bill was reported back for passage, A bill by Cornish limiting the lifeof a do- mestic judgment to five yearsunless renewed received favorable action.

The committee on pri leges and elections, to whom the evidence was referved, will take up the hearing at once, 50 the contestants are given to under- stand, and as the cases are not intricate or voluminous a speedy conclusion s expected. Senator Collins (nd) of Gage county had a plurality of twenty-three votes on the face of the returus. Dr. Funck of Beatrice, the re- publican candidate, claims that clerical errors were mado in the count that deprived him of the plurility he was entitlod to. In one Beatrice ward, for example, five of his votes were crossed from the tally sheet and after- wards added to Collins nator Wilson (rep.)of Dawes county isina peculiarpositon. Ihs contestant, H. G, Stow- ard (ind.) of Sioux county, didnot give notice of contest until twenty-one days after elec- tiou and one day after the Jimiv prescribed by law, Senator Wilson was on hand at the time and place named and took evidenco in his own behalf, Mr, Steward did not put in an_appearance, and as only one package of evidence was sent to the secretary of state, Senator Wilson thinks he is left without an opponent. ‘The senator had some democratic tickets printed without the name of & sena- torial candidate.

[Special to Tur Bei|—The seventh biennial report of the commissioner of pubiic lands and buildings lies upon the desk of overy member of the legislature, Ttisa volume of 490 pages. It contains an essay by the land commis- sioner regarding his work and oftice, as also onme by tho superintendent of every stato institution in Nebraska. These essays are filled with facts and figures and some of them are most interesting. Over and above all for independence, however, is the first, blenuial essay of M. W. Stone, M. D, superintendent of the asylum for the mn- curable insane at Hastiugs, The gentleman was appointed to the position in 1880 and when ho assumed the duties of his offico discovered that a great many things had been dono which showed e S8ness on the part of those whose duty it was to see that the state was protected against extravagance and incom- etency ¥ His first discovery was the neglect of the contractors to complete the building accord ing to plans and specifications, and next, deviations made from the same by the superintendent of construction. ‘I'he kitchen 100 small to meet,_the re quirements of such an institution. Asa con- sequence, 8 basement kitchen had to be e vated and a concrete floor put in. Vo provision had been made for a stone houseand a part of the basement, under the rear center of the building, at gpnsider- able expense was partitioned off, flooored, filled up with shelving and counters and then utilizea for this purpose. Owing to the fact, however, that steam pipos pass through this apartment and the place is devoid of vent tion, the room is held as unfit for the storing of supplies. The system of sewerage, the superintend ent says, he also found defective and insuffi- cient. A new sewer had therefore to be cor structed at an expense of several hundred dollars and extended several feot wost of the building, where it couid empty into a ravine. Closets and wardrobes had to be fitted up throughout the building and ten rooms for employes of theinstitution had to be par- tioned off in the basement. “T'hie tower on the main butlding had been built almost wholly without bracing, was un- safe ina high wind and_vequired both labor and material to render it safe. Tt was decided to substitute a tin roof for the original one of shingles, but the substi tute was so poorly lad that it leaked bud and aamaged both walis and ceilings. A great deal of labor and money was required 10 patch up the misfit When Dr. Stone took charge of the struc ture “innumerable minor changes had to be made.” He found it justas it had been left by the carpenters, masons and plasterer: and had to clean it from garret to attic No provision had been mado for the pur- chase of machinery and equipments for a laundry, and money for this purpose hud to wn from other funds. walls of the institution were left in s0 wretched a_condition that they had to be pointed up with oil-cement mortar and given two coats.of paint. 5 After the expenditure of several hundred dollars in stopping the leaks on the roof, the covering returned fo first principles and sub- mitted to shingles. The steam heating was not according to plans and specifications. Instead of a double pipe system, as_called for by the contract, only a single pipe was used, and that was constructed so poorly that it was not consid- ered good even of its Kind. As a consequence of all these irvegularities, to say nothing of thewretched structure which has been palmed off_on the state, Dr. Stone tells the legislature it must provide for a deficiency of about £20,000. The gentleman concludes this record of jobbing with the following: *My brief ex- perience at the Hastings asylum leads me to recommend to the legislature the creating of the office of supervising architect for this state. To create -this office and employ an experienced and capable man, whose duty shoula be to superintend the construction of these public buildings, would be one of the most economical laws for the state that could be enacted, and the state could well afford to pay a salary suf- ficient to command tho services of a thoroughly competent man for this work.” There are some men_in both the house and senate who marvel whether Dr. Stone ever studied thetattering tendencies and abortions in_the capitol itself. Dr. Stone’s resignation was tendered and took effect on December I, For Railrond Crossings, Lixcovy, Neb,, Feb, 2.—[Special to Tur Bek]—When Beck's railroad crossing bill camoup in the senate for the fiual vote Switzler objected to it as unfair. The bill, one of considerable importance, reads : Sec. 1. All railroads crossing public high- ways or country roads shall establish and maintain at sald crossings a grade of not more than 7 per cent vise, and no poiut in said aporoaches to be less than forty (40) feet in width at the top. See. 2, All crossings as provided in section one o this act shail be planked between the rails and one foot on either side for at least three-fourths the width of said erossing, . 3. Any_rmlroad company failing to with the provisions of this act within, ¥ dilys from the time of its taking effect, shall Torfeit and pay for the benefit of the school fund the sum of twenty-five (325) dol- lars to be recovered in_any court of compe- tent jurisdiction on the complaint of any citizen of the county. Senator Switzler made the point that it was not just to compel ads 1o 1 nd maiutain crossings at all points designated in the bill because many of them might be unnecess He saio®o wished to offer an amendment _empowering county commission- ers or supervisors, on petition of au individ- ual, to order railroads to provide neeed crossings. Senator Beek admitted thav that was & reasonable proposition, and the bill was referrea backto the committce of the whole The Resolution to Restore Confidence Lincory, Neb,, Feb. 2. pecial to Tae Bee.|—In theordinary courseof proceedure Senator Switzler's resolution to commit the senate against radical and injurious changes in the stay, interest and usury laws would have come up for consideration today. A leading independent asked the Omaha sena- tor to let the resolution go over tll tomor- row. He said he wished to submit it to an independent conference tonight and he ex- pressed the opinion that most of the senators of that faith would como to favor the resolu- tion. Hence no ion on it today. A Constitutional tment, Lixcowy, Nob., Feb, 2. al to Tie Bek.)—Mr. Storms (ind.) of Nemaha has in- troduced a bill providing for tho submission of a constitutional amendment requiring all voters tova citizens of the United States, Under the present law o foreigner can take out his first papers, and after a six months’ residence in this state he becomes a voter, Should the endment be adopted all voters must have their final papers bofore they can pte.

Lixcory, Neb, Feb, 2 [Special Tele gram to Tk Bee.]—The Douglas county del egzation held a meeting tonight and agreed on lments to the Omalia charter.

A Record of His Vagaries Published in Berlin Berwiy, Feb. 2.-A white took has been published here containing Emin Pasha’s re- ports to the middle of November last.

Rising in Favor, Loxnos, Feb. 2.—The Times' Berlin cor- respondent says: “I'he white book issued on the Emin expedition shows that, in some cases, Emin’s apparent disrogard of orders was due to the miscarriage of letters and dis- patehes sent to him.
