A LEGISLATIVE SYMPOSIUM. Records Made by thy Independents of the | Low.r House. THEY WERE ALL UNPURCHASEABLE. Some of Them Erred in Their nt of Men and Meas- Were Thus But Judgn ures and Led Astray. Liscory, Neb., April 12.—[Special to Tir Bee.|~The political upheaval which cul- minated in the election of an independent majority of the lower house of the legisla- ture deserves more than a passing notice. Tho ve out of comparative obscurity to occupy tho exalted position of law makers fora great and progressive stato, and who for the past three months have been the focus at which the attention of the eivilized world has been directed,are both individually and collectively worthy of more than a mere mention. Among the fifty-four men who oceupied seats on the independent side of the lower house there was not a single lawyer. In fact fifty- three of them came from between the plow. handles, the exception being Mr, Herman of Saline, who had been a merchant. Only two, Mr. Herman and Johnson of ever had auy legislative experience, having servea odf a former occasion in the lower house, and Johnuson a term in the legis- lature of Tow The one common and far-reaching weak- assembled body of would-be Imost utter lack of knowl- tforms of parliamen tary procedure. It cannot be denied that as a rule they were men of sterling honesty and unbonding int y--men who could not be openly bribed by the offer of glittering gold or of future political preferment, but who were re- markably open to the approach of t tive lobbyists who asked to be heard und plea of fair play and justice to all inte After mingling with the m hers for thr months, conversing witn them on all sorts of topics and hearing them express their opin- fous of cach other on divers occasions, brief outline of the make up of the house, based largely upon the record they have left oe hind the 3 { some iuterest Mr. Arnold of nd Saline of more than ave ability wnd of siuyi ing integrity, and made on the whole a creditable member. He wyas hampered some what by the Beatrice iustitute for the feenle- minded and compelled to vote av times with spropriation combiae, Bredeson of Polk was the cipher of the ession he distinguished % a bill limiting the half section and which was killed without being printed. Later on he took a stan st probibiting free rail- road passes on the ground that it was lawful age off the cnemy.” Bartholomew of Autelope very few words, but a good strong_party adherent. e voted uniformly with'his party and stood upon the lino of trenciment and reform in state expenditures. Carpenter of Butler was one of the best educated men among the independents, and if he had not fallen into the toils of the woman_ suffrage lobby would have madc very good record. He was classed us a der crai, but stood with the independents through thick and thin, and never wavered until the last. He did some good work against the appropriation combime in tho closing days of tho session. Curtis of Madison was chairman of the committee on telegraphs and telephones, and some of his friends who owned stock in’ the telephone company, told him the concern did which he was inuocent enough to . He also had the insano asylum at Norfolk to look after and ouly made a fair record. He voted against his party on sev- eral occasions and was regarded by them with suspicion towards - the lust of “the ses- sion. Dunn of Colfax had a mind of his own and did not. pretend to vote with his party on all occasions. He very much desired to secure a $00,000 appropriation for a home for inebri- ates at Schuyler and tied up with various interests for this purpose, Dobson of Fillmore was undoubtedly the ablest orator among the independents. In general he was firm and_umcompromising in what he believed to be right, but ho had im- bibed the single tax ideas of Henry George and was tied up by the desire to sécure the location of a girls’ reform school: at Geneva, Towards the last, however, he pulied out of the combine and closed the term with an ex cellent record. Feichtinger of Dodgo was the most liboral of all the independents in his political views and voted on the line of his party platform uninfluenced by dictatorial leaders, Speaker Elder was the Sancho Panza of the hiouse, chiefly distinguished by his high regard for female loveliness, for his desire to give all of the boys a position, and for his utter and reckless 1gnorance of the common- est forms of parlismentary law. Towards the close of the session he abandoned his po- litical brethren and stond in with the opposi- tion in order, among other things, to pull through his bill appropriating #40,000 for tho support of the stute wilitia. Good na. tured, fun loving, and with no conception of the responsibility of his position, he let the house run itself the greater part of the time, but drew his salary with unfailing regularity and never omitted to explain his vote, and putiton record. Felton of Nuckolls was a silent observer during the early part of the session, but to- ward the last rapidly assumed the acknowl- edged leadership of the independents and struggled mostly in vain to lop off some need- less or unnecessary items in the appropria- tions. Mr. Felton is a man of rugged hon- esty and no mean ability and two years hence Would mako anexceedingly valuublo mom- er. Fulton of Harlan was a quiet member and became very much interested in a bill provid- ing for a county loan agent. Ho appeared on most occasions to be a_ fair-minded man, but stood unfliuchingly by bis party from begin- ning to end, Gaflin of Saunders was cne of the very best members on the independent side, He set to work to systematically learn the leg: lative routine and sought to get some de: nite understanding of the condition of the state in general, as o basis of intellgent legislation, As a member of the finance committoo his voice was always raised in behalf of economy in public expenditures, Prohibition, woman suffrago and all such hobbies were let severcly alone by Mr. Gaffin, who contented himself with honestly endeavoring to carry out tho pledges his party had made to the people. Gale of Rock was one of the best_educated of the independents, and a clear thinker and logical reasouer. Early in the session he re- fused to follow his party leaders into their wild and revolutionary proceed- ings, and having one or two important bills'killed by thein in sheer spite, ho became independent in fact s well as in name and voted as he pleased. With a few more men like Gale iu their ranks the independents might have' been able to make a better show- ing in the final outcome. Mr. Gale had tho honor of introducing the resolution recogniz- ing Boyd as_governor, which was the first real step in the way of legislation taken by house, Goddard of Frontier was a faithful party follower and extremely biased in his views. He made 1o speeches, but when not sick was in his seat voting with tue radicals. Gonuett of York was a man of litue ability and bitterly partisan in_cvery seuse. Ho wignalized himself by yielding to the subtlo flattery of the woman suffrage lobby and having s own wife appointed to a rhahiip, Hunnich of Garfi2ld appeared to bo o fair- minded, well-meaning man who desired to be just 1o all intorests. He voted at times agalnst nis party and did not endorse the revolutlonary ‘schemes advocated by the radicals. Herman of Saline, MOmber, Was 1oL ¥ pearance, but A parlinmentary | Te was tendor stitutions and vo tiana FHoney of Holt mado no spoeches, but he was & oareful, palos taking member of the anti-bood (e order, ¥ noeds experience to make him & yaluablo loglslator, Johnson of Valloy wis & “go-casy states- was a man of thinker and a the lono union labor prepossessing in ap- ovolopod romarkably as der, when put to the test. rtod toward the state iu- d for liberal appropria- v men themselves who were lifted | man of strict” integrity, but of limited busi- ness capueity, who generally let things run themselves Joues of Burtfvas regarded as one of the most con: *jentious aud painstaking members, who did not know how to be unfair even to anopoonent. No member on the independ ent side commanded greater respect from the republicans and democrats, In votlng to cognize Boyd ho voiced his own honest convictions and defied the radicals, but was never charged with being a traitor to his party. Krick of Kearney was a_solid, substantial farmer of good general ability, who signal- ized mimself by standing loyally by the old soldiers on cvery occasion. He was a strong party adherent, but by no means a bizot ISruse of Knox, in point of natural ability and a disposition'to deal fairly with all inter- ests, stood bead and_shoulders above his party associates, Although -the youngest member he steadily forged to the front from tho very beginning as an abie and consistent leader and fought tho battle on the lino marked out by his party platform. Lomax of Custer appeared to have a mind of "his own, and . voted against his party on several occasions, He introduced few bills and made no speeches, He was coerced into voting for woman suffrage by out pres- sure, but otherwise made an average good Modio of Red Willow, is a natural born | fighter, who immortalized himself during the session on_several occasions. He was_ the most radical of all the radicals in pushing extreme views to the front and in striving to build up his party and its principles, H ever, he had the knack of making him: immenscly popular, and will see moro le lative service, Mullen of Holt did not distinguish himself particularly excopt on one or two occasions when he proved himsell an mean ability. He was a_close events and put in his ready for his sccond. MecCuteheon of Boone, barring his woman suffrage and prohibition proclivities, was o fair-mindea man of more than average ability, intensely loyal to his party, bat dosired atall times to be just. He made an excellent record in opposing jobs and ex- travagant appropriations, MeReynolas of Clay wa well socially, but of rathe a legislator. ' He was, howe honest and served his party zeal and fideli Newherry of Ha ous both by his opposition to woman suffr: and by his introduction of a maximum rate bill. “He is a man of intense convictions, of cllent ability as an oratdr and more than slative sagacity. Nichols of Buffalo was a weak, vain old man, immensely puffed up by a sublime sense of his own importance. Aftor moving hcaven and earth to secure the chairmanship of the wost importaut committeo—that of fiuance, ways and means—he fell into the bands of * designing tricksters, and joined in with every scheme to raid the public treas- ury, and was denounced on the foor for his conduct by some of the best men in his own party. Olson of Saunders was a good running mate for Mr. Henry. Parker of Hownrd has never imbibed the fiat money ideas of his radical brethren, and honestly endeavored to legislate iu that man- neras o subserve all legitimate interests. He made a good record all the way througo, and is well equipped for future sc ; Porter of Merric a_prohibition and woman suffrage crauk, who devoted his enel gies to pushing these’ hobbies until he si cned his party associates. W hen called bac t0 his he did_some good work along the line of retronchment and reform. He ly noted for s ex © hutred anything emanating trom Lincoln or Omahi and for his_bigoted intolerance, He gained _considerable notoriety as the intro- ducer of the Australian ballot bill that finally became a law. handed Purnel! of Perkins was a clea: young man, who nonestly endeavored to v of his abil- of obscrver s a man who st00 all caliber fc scrupulousl; with becoming of Serve his constituents to tho b and who fought the appropriation com- oine “‘tooth and toe uml” in committee. He introduced an irrigation bill which with a few amendments would have done much towards reclaiming western Nebraska, Riley of Webster was a silent member and a violent partisan, but distinguished himself by votiug against the extra pay of the inde- vendent employes. He was @ thick and thin party adherent, with a prejudice against, any- thing not beariug an alliance brand. Roban of Dixon, though sincerely devoted to the indepeudent cause, was rather too diffident in making his qualities for leader- ship known. Towards the last Speaker Elder made him chairmau of the sifting com- mittee. . He was true to every trust, but too intensely partisan to accord due respect and woight to the opinious of his political ene- mies, Rugglos of Dundy was another cipher, a fair match for Bredeson, who simply made one of the independent majority. chelp of Platte was a second of Gaftin,and whose career from an independent standpoint was without a blemish. Snhrader of Logan was nothing more nor less than @ cool calculating selfish dema- gogue who was on the make, and ready at all times to jump down on the side wheré he would find the most prevender. He was sized up by his_ party associates carly in the session, defcated for the speakership, but ac- cepted for a time as a self-imposed leader. He introduced the saline laud bill and sup- ported the boulevard bill and other question- able measures, badly announcing the doctrine that the state ought not to hold laud for “'speculative purposes,” or when required to be destroyed or its value greatly impaired for the benefit of private iuterests, He will be remembered chiefly for having asked and sevod EoN Fteen dbd Bxben pay for his son k of his own committee, Scott of Dawson was a uniquo character, scrupulonsly honest, bnt a compound of in- herent prejudices and an_ overbearing egot- ism coupled with a persistence that broke down every barrier. With his long index finger pointed at the speaker he commanded attention even in the most turbulent pass- ages. Hatred of Omaha was one of his strik- ing traits of mind and he failed to soften as the session advanced. Smith of Saline never made himself con- spicuous, but was regarded as an honest, fair-minded man of good judgment and stron party attachinents. Soderman of Phelps, barriug his strong prohibition views, but in these he truly rep- resented his county, was an all around re- former. He fought with admirable pluck and persistency for every priuciple of bis party platform, and forced the issue on cvery occasion. He was a thorn in the side of the “‘appropriation combine,” both in the com- mittee roow and on the floor of the house. Stebbins of Buffalo, while somewhat ham- pered by having a public iostitution in his county * to look after, was @& thor- ouch going member' who earnestly desirod “ to serve the taxpayers to the fullest extent of his ability, which was of a hieh order. He instituted' investi- gations all along the line, and was particu- larly careful in looking after public funds ara expenditures. Mr, Stebbins entertains intense hatred both for the coward aud the boodler, and while a bitter and often vindic tive partisan, was disposed to treat his polit- ical oppouents with at least common courtesy and give all sides a fair hearing before pas- sing judgment Stevens of Fillmore came the nearest of beiug & commuuist of uny, and was un intel- lectual pigmy. He was " entirely unveliable and tied up with the appropriation combine for the sake of getting the new girls' re- form school at Geneva. His record, on the whole, was not very creditable, Stevens of Furnas was the Demosthenes of the house and the only independent who had the courage to boldly uttack Church [lowo, Nuture made him for a radical, and he did not miss his calling. He was noted for his bitter aud uncompromising hostility to cor. porations in general, but was withal a man of sterling honesty and unimpeachable integ- rity, and who when properly toned down will muke a valuable member, & terror to jobbers and corporation bivelings. Stevens of Platte was a quiet member, who attended strictly to business. Stewart of York kicked out of the party traces as often as his own judgment dictated such a courso and was & man who could not be led or cajoled into taking a false position, He opposed the revolutionary and unconsti- tutional proceedings in the caucus from the very beginning, aud finally openly revoltea, With a little more experience he will make a very capable legislator, Storms of Nemaha was a_blowhard who talked to the galleries. For the sake of the Peru rmal school he tied up with nearly every movement to loot the treasury. Ho was especially noted tor his opposition to making any oxhibit at tho world's fair, and for securing the position of bill clerk for bis brother, Taylor of Butler was a man of only fair ability, noted for smoking a corn cob pipe and advocating woman suffrago. Taylor of Johnson in natural ability was orator of no | first term in getting | who | | food nilton made himself fam- socond only to Mr throo leading candidates by all odds would have made the bost speaker. He made a thoroughly consistent record on ho line of his platform pledges and will be hiefly romembered by his il feeling towards Church Howe which o took no pains to con- Kruse, and of the Voorhes of Hamilton was an honest mem- ber but who made a somewhat checkered record through his intense desire to secure a normal school at Aurora, Waldron of Adams had the appearance of being the best educated member on the ine dependent side, He was a careful conscien- tious member who at times broke away from his party as tes but who was compelled by his county to stand in for big avpropria- tions, Williams of Franklin ovenly published to the world that he had a mind of his own, and cted and voted “the indepenaent” from the commencement to the close of the session, Wilson of Adams and Webster bore the stamp of an honest granger member, but got badly rattled by his trip to Galveston and proved weak and unreliable towards the end of the session, voting for well known jobs and steals and in favor of liberal appropriations. His mfluence on legislation was of & negative quality. el Agate bearing sc offce mills with foot power, greoers refrigerotors, butter coolers, Catalogue of Bord lock Co., Chicago. The I Mistake.

Ho came down from Stockton, and ide in a box rather ruftled the peli n's temper as well as his feathers, und when he wus turned loose in the little luke in the park he was in no humor to | wnd any footishness, He swam around arrogantly for a time,ignoring the other | denizens of the pond and generally act- | ing s if he owned it. Heo drove the big | white ducks away from every they found ™ and almost the little mud hen by driving on the bank and stepping on he of the drakes put in a sovt of stat protest when the stranger trom ton pickeden choice morsel almost out of his bill. Mr. Petican of Stockton simply | reached out with his hook on the end of | his valise-like bill and took about two inches of skin and feathers off the white drake’s back, That settled the ques- tion. The drake tried to restore his wounded dignity by assaulting his littlo brother, but the pelican had the wholo east side of the lake to himself for quite a while. O He got tired of this side and swam slowly out into the middle of the pond. The ducks crowded away from him, the little mud hen dived and come up_for a minute, and the seagulls screamed and climbed the ban Just about this time the old black swan sailed out from behind the rock A ve dignified bird is the black swan, not quarrclsome or greedy, but simply conscious of his size and quality—in_fact, o rather retiving bird of studious habits. He took no notice of the pelican, after the manner of born aristocrats in the presence of an upstart, Tt happened that a bit of bread luy float- ing on the ater, and the bluck swan, with dignity and moderation, reached out for it. The well-bred pelican also saw it aud gotitina sglo grab. That n encroachment on the black swan’s vested rights that he did not propose to stand. His long neck straigh 1 out and that peiican got a lick alongside of his head that paralyzed him, For a moment he was still. “Then he opened the yawning asm of his bill until his whole dig ive apparatus was exposed, and hi like a basketful of pull adde T got down to business. He upset the swan at the first charge, but got a coun- ter-on the wing that unbalanced him. In an instant the middle of that luke was a cloud of foam and feathers, long black necks and wide yellow bills, and the noise was like that of a locomotive with a burst steam valve, The pelican got a foul hold on the long neck, but the swan broke it in- stantly and got in an upper cut on the ican’s pouch. It was first blood for n. 1t soon became-evident tha the pelican was wholly outelassea in reach and science. He had the brute strength and the pluck, but the other avolded the fierce lunges with compara- tive ouse. The pelican soon saw that only an aceident would getin his hooked bill, and started to clos He struck with his big wings, but the swan had me wings himself, and was as handy ith them as asmall boy with g putty blower. Then the swan had another ad- vantage. He could and did dive, while his awkward adversary could not for the life him got his big body under the water. The peli- can came outof the flurry nearly winded. He climbed on the rocks and hissed, but the swan reached his foot with a long swoop and the pelican abandoned hid do fiant attitude, When darkness came on the pelican sat high up ou the rocks, his big bill sunk on his breast, the picture of mel- ancholy and disappointment, The ducks swam fearlessly near him, the little mud hen sat undismayed within striking distance and the gulls quarreled right at his feet. And out in the middle of the pond the black swan floated and plumed himself, as oblivious of pelicans as a cow of a rainbow. e For a number of years I have been subject to violent attacks of inflammatory rheuma- tism which generally lasted about two months. ~ Ou the first of this mouth 1 was attacked in the kneo and suffered severely for two duys, when 1 procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and it relioved mo almost instantly.

Eldér Penrose was the speaker at the Tabernacle and tho slick old gent got in his hooks in gr shape, reported the Salt Luke Tribune. After the usual pre- liminaries had been indulged in the great editor and saint peeled his toy and sailed in. He took for the basis of remarks the Lord’s prayer ana the sermon that he preached on that topic was a tervific one. In the first plac the prayer opens with a tion. We “*Our k Not “My Futhe d is everybody father, und plense do mot forget that fact. And then t there the emi- nent man stopped and said that us o rule all prayers were too long by fur, and that they were no good on that account, The Lord did not want anybody to tell Him that He was the rulorof all this universe. He knows that already and there is no use in repeating the samo old thing over and over again to Him, It is the same thing that the hypocrites used to do in the days of old,when Christ said that tne man who did that would get his reward, and tho speaker sup- posed that - He meant that a man who strings his petitions out s0 long will be in the soup as far us ing uny wnswer is concerned. The prayer that was just offered was the Liml of one that he liked to hear. That pray :r was a daisy, and there was no mistake about. Pen then suld that the Lord’s prayer was the kind of a petition that commended itsolf to every one who had anything of that kind to do, ns it was so brief. There was a world of truth in it, too. The ex- pression, *Thy kingdom come,” was the literal truth, and he wanted the congre- he ory Stoek- less | The rest of the gation to file that in the archives of their memorics, God's kingdom was 4 0 fairis he bank where the wild ‘ : are the bloggomg of b But another TAIRBANK ; favor and rank A heather and thy mé both together. n NKFARBANKBCD. chick coming on earth just ing, and there would when the Sivier of bes he with us. ments would be m Lord would reign fue b time mankind would Al govern- way and the The signs of the times were to the effect that the end was he and it behooves the saints to get a rapi transit movement on themselves in ord 1o be ready when the call shall ermon was on the simo order, and the old man covered himself 1l over with glory, At the outset he said that he was sick, and did not know whether he could stana it to speak he had been suffering with the pre ing disease.
