POWERS ALMOST 1N SIGHT Populists Bunch Their Ballots on One Sena- torial Candidate, TO SHUT OFF FREE RAILROAD PASSES Benator Harris Springs an Alr-Tight Resolu- Senate riate No M Normal 8 LixcoLs, Neb, Jan. 20.—[Special Tele gram to Tue I ]—Today's ballot in the senatorial joint convention resulted as fol- lows Powers ... Paddoek ... ©.J. Greone Paxton...... Majors... Allen Broan .. MeKa'ghin Crounse Furnns.. Martin B & Watson 2/ Thomaen.. With the single exception of Dobson, who cast his vote for McKeighan, the inde. pendents enrolled themselves solidly for Powers. Aside from this the changes were | fmmaterial and were as follows: Ames and ‘Withnell, from Morton to W. A. Paxton MeDonald, from Paddock to Majors; Lobeck from Carpenter to Paddock ; Carpenter, from | Lobeck to Paddock: Ruea, from Paddock to Majors; Nelson, from Bryan to Keiper; Bab: cock and Leidigh, from Morton to Boyd Kaup returned to Dawes, and Keckley went to Paddock. The rally of the | | populists today to the Powers standard was brought about by the determination of the anti-Powers faction to force his nomination immediately in order that he might be killed off before the open ing of the battle proper next week. It has been conceded for some time that Powers would be the candiaate who was tor the caucus nomination of the populists when- ever that time came, and the opposition within the party concluded that the stage of the game had arvived when it w s toallow him to make his spurt send him to the stable. Tt is practicall; tain that today's jump took him to his high water mark, as it virtuslly gave him his party's support and that is all there is in sight for him, at least until many another change shall have been rung on the sena torial chimes. 1 NATE More Employes ¥ Shut OIF Passes 1 t on the Pay Roll-To Adjourned Till Monday, Neb., Jan. 20.—[Special to Tne | ]=The chaplain in the senate this morning breathed a fervent prayer for the recovery of Senator Clarke, whose chair is still vacant.

Senator Moore spoke at length against | both the the original resolution and th amendment. He considered it unusual to deprive n committee of the prerogative of se- lecting its own clerk. Ttseemed to him that for a committee composed of four members of one party and three of another to select all commitiees was * heuping an unnecessary indignity upon the senators. The senator read the list of committees upon which the vepublicans had a majority and showed that none but the independents would be injured by the adoption of the resolution. Senator Dale asserted that the senator from Lancaster did not know what he was talking about. He claimed that vesterda, the senators on the republican side wante: to put on the brakes. and today they wantes to put down the bars and let in the flood.

In speaking upon the resolution Senator Hayris stated that he proposed to compel every senator to go on record in this matter, His own hands were clean. He moved the adoption of the resolution and demanded the ayes and uays. On objection being made, however, consideration was deferred under the rules, Senator Dale came in for another biff from the senate. Ho offered a resolution directing all clerks and employes to rc retary of the senate when Elloycd. He explained his resolution by say g that many of the clerks would be idle most of the time and if they were trol of the sceretary he could sond them the differont committees as fast as needed, The resolution was tabled without dis- cussion. brought on another | over the question | to Read the First Time.

After the joint convention had adjoured | the senate took up the discussion, briofly, of the propriety of an adjournitent until Mon- nator Mattes asked fora ruling of the chair upon the matter. The chair read the constitutional and statutory provisions cov- ering the cuse, and gave it as his opinion that a joint convention must be held on each and every day that the legislature is in ses- sion, but that there was nothing to prevent either house from adjourning for a period not exceeding three days. If one house ad- Journed the legislature would not be in ses- slon, as the legislature comprised both ches. Senator Harris moved until Monday at 10 o'clock.

LoMAx, Gon'l Passenger and Ticket Agt The trouble originated a short time | through a boycott begun against the road by | the Denver & Rio Grande, the latter L withdrawing all its round trip tickets read- ing via the Union Pacific. Other roads were affected and before long the effect was noticeable in_decreased receipts and o gen eral demoralization of passenger rates. The order of yesterday will have, it is said, an effect that will be startling. It means that passengers going west or coming east in der to reach points on the Union Pacific must purchase their tickets over that road or one of its branches or else must be_turned over to it at both Denver ani Omab otherwise the ticket will be declared void. All castern roads excepting the North- western, Chicago & Altonand Milwaukee are n the general cut-off to be inaugurated Feb- y L. This same condition existed before Adams assumed the reins of govern- ment, but his broad philanthropic policy quite revolted against unchristian methods and the Missouri gateways were opened to the world. But Mr. Clark be- lieves in running a railroad for the stock- holders, instead of upon any humanitarian principle, and he inaugurates this condition, which cannot help but prove advantageous to Omaha, as every tourist going to points on the Union Pacific from the cast must pass through Omaha instead of as heretofore going by Pacific Junction if he purchased his ticket via the Burlington Southern Tourist Rutes. KANsas Crry. Mo, Jan, 20.—Southern tour- ist rates from this ¢ity are in a state of demoralization which will doubtless spread to alarming propontions. The Big Four and the Vandalia lines, worked a e through the Central Traffic:association on account of an alleged spiritnalist convention at De Leon, and took advantage of the authority to drum up business to that and other | winter resorts. At least that is what the | Memphis road charges, and that road took steps to protect itgelf, by putting in a rate of one fare for the round trip, with stopover privileges, good until next June. Now the Missouri Pacific has met the Memphis rate and all points in the sputh and southeast are involved.

The Kanawaha Despatch has decided to restore its Fates to the basis of 72 cents first class, and the Savannah line basis of 67 cents first class, these those lines.

The morality people, he thought, make nations great despite laws and systems of government, t habits of the people are their strength or weakness. “All forms of govern- ment have failed to develop virtue or suppress vice," he continued. *Laws cannot control the tendency of humanity toward good or evil—it is this tendency which in- fluences laws and nations. History shows ; moral corruption inevitably precedes political destruction. Need I point out the commonly known instances which support this fact? Iverybody knows the dismal story of the downfall of great nations in biblical and secular history because of moral degen cy. But can any one point out to me one instance in the last ye when a virtuous people have come to an un- | timely end? Recall the powerful nations that have flourished and then perished, and see if we do not their downfall was due to moral corruption Much Depends on the Citizen. “As I said, much depends upon the people —on the individual citizen. The character of the individual—his moral nature—infiu- ences, the destiny of the nation, as he isn part of the people and a component part of the nation. Our glorious constitution, that doc ument which has des ed to us through the tears and strife of a country, was a mag- nificent production of the genius of man as- piring to liberty and a_nobler form of gov- ernment. Yet it possesses no special virtue unless we have men breathing the inspira tion of our fol , Who can support it. ““Republics and empires, built up by strong and moral races, have flourished, and then, with inereasing opulence, become weakened and degenerate and finally perished. It is the verdict of history that when nations reach a certain point in their progress they begin fo feel decay. Let us reverse this ver- dict and make this land the exception. “There have been as many ruined lics as monarchies in the t. For rs Rome was a republic and thosc were the happiest years of its existence. But the tendency of republics is toward em- y and from empire to decay leads us to the most difficult problem now confronting statesmen—permanency. It is not national progre atshould comman our most earnest attention, it is national stability, the permanence of our governmen and institutions. “In the past the national scepter has passed from one hand to another. F Fgypt was the most powerful nation, th IEgypt's greatness became obscured by that of Assyria. Persia followed with a gr race and then Palestine. The Romans and theGreeks in turn were the great nations of the world, Finally, the hands of a woman, Isabella of Spain, grasped the scepter and then Bonaparte ruled Europe. England sub-. sequently became the greatest nation, but tonight America Grander Than All, “America is the land in which national superiority is found It is not so much in martial glory, commercial prosperity and sploador of intellect, though we possess all these. but it is in moral ideas, moral liberty all that is beautiful in philanthrophy and religion. “But even under the best forms of govern- ment the worst men may exist, just as under the worst form of government the best men exist. Under the Stewarts, there were the Puritans; under Nero there were the les.” Bishop Newman then spoke about immi- ion. He produced facts and figures to prove that the low class of foreigners ad- mitted into the country retard instead of ad- vance the national progress. The per cent of illiterate aliens entering this country from Europe is very large and their presence here does the country no good. He sa of the drunkards and criminals in try a large proportion s born. To the glory of Ameri womanhod, he said that of number of female incbriates and criminals reported, nearly all are foreign, He made a powerful argument against admitting the dregs of European nations into this country He thought there should be no fore colonies or settlements of aliens preserving their national language and customs on American soil. ” No flag should be raised on American soil save that of the Umted Stat without government permission and then oniy in compliment to some visiting foreign dignitary. America should be for ns. If foreigners enter this country rive benefit from the liberal form of ument they should leave behind their national prejudices and not endeavor to preserve in the minds of their children a love for any foreign land. ~ He thought that foreign language should b public schools and that the secular schools. Autago Jefferson, he said, opposed ers to enter this country, declaring that it would result in national misfortune. The revolutionary statesman was strongly antag onistic to foreign influences, but now Jeffe sonian democrats are bowing down to the foreign element and catering. to the various classes of foreign votes, A desiro for polit ical triumphs has made the follower ferson forget the Jefforsonian principles. Eloquently and earnestly Bishop Newman laid bare what he believed to be the danger of filling up the country too rapidly and with n undesirable class of people. In building up a nation that is to last forever he thought only the best material should be used. By allowing the low, debased, illiterate and criminal elements of foreign sciety to enter the country, the government spread the seed of disastor.

He repeated the statement that he made at the time poisoning in regard to Williams having made threats to kill off the family, and also testi fied that after the first warrant was sworn out for Williams he had followed the latter through the central part of the city and asked an officer whom they met to arrest Williams, but the ofticer refused to do it had communicated with the station The two girls, Edna and_fda May, told their stories over again. ‘They adinitted that they were aware of Williams' attempt to poison their parents and then take Edna as his wife and Ida as companion and go to California. Some parts of the girls' testy mony actually shocked the jurymen, as it related to the intimacy of Williams with the sisters. Nothing which has not been published f was developed in the testimony, except some of the private life of the family, which will hardly bear printing.
