The reason glven by both men for their propositions wis that incompetant and inaccurate work is being done and that some steps should be taken to stop it. A rumber 6f members here joined in the chorus agalnst the employes for bad work, but the Good and Gregg motions weat fto the table, It being thought that fhey atmed at depriving the speaker of his preroga- tives. The speaker stated that he would promptly let cut any man not competent Thia question of employes kindled the flame which was arising over the printing ter and there were some real interesting dofngs about that time. Investigate the Contract. “A committee wa appointed by this house some time sgo to see that bille were printed {n their regular order,”” put in Bur- gess of Lancaster. “Now | want to know what that committee has done along this line. 1 know thing; it has not suc- ceeded 1o having this order carried out Bille are not pginted In their regular orde And another thing—the printers who snatched this contract away from the house are not complylng with that provislon which enjoins upon them the duty of re- turning all bills within three days. To my certain knowledge many bills have been nd are now being kept out five or six days I want this thing corrected.” This seemed to-tickle all arovnd. Nel- ton of Douglas then swung high to the left and landed his faithful sledge squarely on the aovil. “I cortainly want to add my protest to what has been sald about the Inaccuracics in printing,” said the chalrman of the ju- dicial committee. But Mr, Nelson found his chief source of complaint in the poor proof reading that has been done. After Rouse of Hall had delivered a short speech on the subject and Sweezy of Adams had put in a couple of healthy jabs, Sears of Durt brought matters to a cli max by Introducing a resolution provid- ing that the judiclary committee be in- structed to Investigate the printing con- tract and determine whethgr or not it is hinding on the house. r. Sears, liKe rany others, tock the position that the house had been robbed of a right when outeide parties made the contract for its own_printing. “That {s our printing, and I beliove we are the ones to lot this contract,” said the tall sycamore from up the woods. *‘But at-any rate, I want to be satisfied on this point. I want this committee to determine the point. I want to know it this house can't & more eatisfactory contract. I know one thing, that the print. ing board and party of the second part did not make thi® contract for our health. And I'won't be entirely satfsfied until my fund of inforntution fs idcreased.” The tesolution was adopted. In connection with this printing contro- versy It may be of interest to state that had the opponents of the Howell-Gllbert water works bill not been on the alert the downfall of thet weasuro might hgve been accomplished ; Béfore this. It contained a 7ery serious .defect when it was, ;as the dowell bill, being actad on' by the'senato. ‘The title and the body, of the ~measure *yere at yarisnce and as the bill passed the wenate it was absolutely illegal, “That {s why,” said a friend of the bill and & member of the Douglas delegation, “we have taken steps to have the Gilbert Il substituted for the Howell bill in the ‘ouse. * That bill was absolutely illegal, as it was acted on in the senate. This was due to an error elther in printing or proot- veading, it 1s true, but that would not have «ut any figure had the measure been then attacked.” one Legislative Notes, Kennedy of Douglas, the only democratie member from Omaba, made his first ap- pearance in the. house this afternoon, hav- ing beon detained because of illness. Mr. Kennedy was presented by Ten Eyck and sworn. in by Speaker Mockett. The chief Justice &nd the assoclate justices were out of the city and the lawyers of the house decreed that the speaker had the right to perform this function. Rouse of Hall has Introduced in th house the bill providing for participatio: by Nebraska in the Louisiana Purchase ex position at St. Louis in 1904, It makes provision for the appointment of a boar: of commlissioners by the governor to look out for the state's interests and appropri- ates $76.000. Omahs labor unlons are against the pas sage of H. R. 182, introduced by Reed of Nomaha, to modify the prosent exemption Jaws. Gus Hollo, & member of the Owahn Central Labor union, is here to fight the bill. This morning he is yuoted as saying “The bill is Intended solely to help the grocers' trust.

LINCOLN, Jan. 26.—(Special.)—The house, after a recess since Saturday noon, convened at 2 p. m. today the beginning | of the fourth week of the twenty-¢ighth session. It immediately took up Governor Mickey's message on the Dietrich land. leasing bil) as the“epecial drder. After the reading of the governot's mes- ge the resolution submitted Saturday by McAllister of Deuel Was read and a num- ber of resolutions on the subject intro- duced. But on motion of Sweezy of Ad- ams, consideration of the entire subject was deferred until 10 a. m. Tuesday, be- cause of the absence of 80 many mem- bers. A resolution by Jones of Otoe provided that the house flatly reject the request of Nebraksa's congressiotial delégation that the legislature petition congress for tho passage of the Dietrich bill, and that in- stead the house recommended the defeat of the bill. The McAllister resolution, for which this one was offered as a eubsti- tute, favored action in line with the rec- ommendations of President Roosevelt and Goversor Mickey. Junkin of Gosper offered a resolution condemning the practice of fencing graz- ing lands as wrong and calling upoh con- gress for their immediate removal. Herron of Antelope introduced a resolu- tion favoring the holding of public land for the purpose contemplated in the home. stead law, and providing for an Increase to two sections to each homesteader of aria and semi-arid lands. b Shelly of Douglas was the author of a resolution providing for the recommend tion by this legislature of the adoption of President Roosevelt's plan that a commi sion of experts be appointed to investi- gate the condition of leasing and fencing grazing lands and submit its report to “ongress. Ten Eyek of Douglas at this time an. ounced that Kennedy of Douglas was pres ent for the first time this session, having )een detained by (llness and moved that o be sworn In Ryck, Sears of Burt and Good of Nemaha to walit ou a justice of the supreme court being out of the city performed by Speaker Mockett.

The Natlonal Live Stock assocla- | tion, In a recent convention, approved the pending bill and secured its favorable con- sideration by the house. The humane so- cieties of the country are uniting in op- position to it. They have presented state- ments from some of the largest shippers of live stock In the country in support of thelr assertions that cattle cannot be car- ried for forty-eight hours on cars without serfous injury. The shippers of Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louls and Chicago are opposed to the measure and wil add thefr protest to the objections made by the hu- mane socleties. The indications are that the bill will be allowed to die in the senate. Gatbering Irrigation Statisties The acceptance by congress of the prin- ciple of federal ald In the construction of irrigation in the western states hns glven & great impetus to every industry in that section of the country. The people of the castern states are just begianing to realize the opportunities offered in the territory to be opened up. As the proposition do- velops a tide of immigratien will inevitably set In and this reglon will become one of country. land and plenty of avallable water Ne- measure. The actual work of surveying, locating and constructing reservoirs and other irri- | Emtlon works will be done By the geolog- fcal survey. In order to obtain d’better un- derstanding of the present extent of frri- gation, the location of the areas Irrigated and to galn other information usetul in this work, the Fifty-seventh congress au- thorized the director of the census to bring down to date the irrigation statistics op- tained in 1900 by that office. Letters of | inquiry and scaedules are now being sent out to secure the necessary information. All interested In Irrigation should answer as fully and as promptly as possible any inquiries they may receive, so that the merits of the various sections of the coun- try may become known. Irrigators who do not time should motify the census office at Washington and they will be supplied. It is interesting to note in this connec- tion how much it will mean to the coun- try at large to have the arid lands of the west reclaimed. According to the census of 1990 the total improved farm area of the United States was 414,800,000 acres, It 18 conservatively estimated that the re- claimable area is not less than 50,000,000 acres. Its reclamation, therefore, will add nearly one-elghth to the actual crop-pro- ducing area of the country and will exceed | by_a liberal margin the tillable land of all th® states, excepting New York, on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida. Al- lowing forty acres, the average size of ir- farms, or a little less than one-fourth the number in the United States in 1900. The occupants of these farms will add directly to the population 6,230,000 and indirectly in the accompanying mercantile, professional manufactyring and industrial cla at least 3,125,000 more, a total increase in the population of the United States of 8,375,000, or nearly 123 per cent. The figures of the last census show that tho works required to frrigate acres cost $64,289,601, an average of $8.85 per acre. At this rate the expenditure re- quired to reclaim the area proposed would | be at least $450,000,000. After the govern- work.

SOLDIERS PRAISE OPPOSING LEADERS Lee, Lincoln and Davis Held Up as High-Minded Men Actuated Ideas They Belleved to He Right. NEW YORK, Jad The thirteenth annual banquet of the Confederate Veteran camp of New York, held tonight at the Waldort-Astoria, was wade memorable by | eloquent eulogies of the great figures of | the south and the north durjng the civil | war by men who had fought in the arm- les opposing them. Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, a soldier of the uaion, responded to the toast of “Roberv B. Lee,” and Colonel Henry Watterson, a eoldier -of the Con- federacy, paid a tribute to the character of Abraham Lineoln. The third toast to Jefferson DAvis was responded to'by Will- lam Hepburn Russoll, formerly of Mis- sourf, and now commissioner of accounts of New York city, Upward of 500 comrades of the camp and their guests were present, anc the pres- ence of many women lent brilliancy to the banquet ¥ Commander Hefiry E.

Opposed to him at Gettysburg, I here, forty years later, do him justice. No more creditable order even issued from & com- manding general than that formuldted by Kobert K. Lee us, ut the close of June, 1863, he advanced on a war of invasion. No greater disgrace,” he then declared, “‘can befall the army, and through it the \hole people, than thé perpetration of bar barous outrages upon the innocent and de fenseless. Such proceedings not only dis grace the perpetrators and all connected with them, but are subversive of the d cipline and efficlency of the army and de- structive of the ends of our movement. It must be remembered that we make war only on armed men.” Lee did not, ilke Tilly and Melac, exhort hls followers to kill and burn, to make war hell. He did not proclaim that he Wanted no prisoners. He did not enjoin It Upoh his soldiérs as a duty to cause The propie of Pennsylvania to remember they. had heen there. thank neaven he at léast was still an A¥nerican and not a Tilly nor a Melac. While war at;best fs bad, vet its neces- sary and unavoldable badness was not in that campaign enhaticed. In scope and spirit Lee's order” was observed, and I doubt If a hostlle:force ever advarced In an enemy's countey or fell back trom it in retreat, leaving behind it léss cause of hate and biterness thani [id the army of North- ern Virginia in fthat memoarable gampaign which culminated at Gettysburg. Because he was a soldier Lge did not feef it tnoum- bent upon him to $rocialm himself a brate or to exhort his followers to brutality. . .. One word more und I have done. Some six months ago, in a certaln académic ad- dress at Chicigo; L called to mind the fact | that_a statue .of Oliver Cromwell now stood in the yard \of Parllament house in | London, close to that historic hall of West- minster from the roof of which his severed head had once looked down. Calling to mind the strange changes of feeling evinced by the memory of that grinning skull wad | the presence of thut image of bronze-re- membering that Gromwell, once traftor and regicide, stood now conspicuous amon England's worthlest ‘and most honored— | asked, Why should it not also in time be £o with Lee? Why should not his efgy, erect on his charger and wearlng the in signia of his confederate rank, gaze from his pedestal across the Potomac at the Vir- inta. shore, gnd his once dearly loved fome at Arfington? tie, too, s one of the precious possessions of what Is an esser.tial factor in"the nation that now is and s to e. My suggestion was met with an answer o which | would now make reply. It was objected that such a memorial was to be provided for from the na-lonal treasury, and that Lee, educated at West Polnt, holding for years'the commission of the United States, had borne arms against the pation. The rest 1 will nof here repeat. The thing was pronounced lmpossible. Now, let me here explain myself. I never supposed taat Robert E. Lee's statue in Washington would be provided for by an appropriation from the natlonal treasury. id not wish it; I do not think it fitting. d, 1 do not Tate high statues erected of_congress, and paid for by public They have small significance. Least of all would I suggest such a one in the case of Lee. Nor was it 8o with Crom- well. His effi.y is a private gift, placed where it 18 by act of Parllament. So, when the time s ripe, should it be with Lee, and the time will come, This was succeeded by the rendering ot the “Bonnie Blue Flag" and songs.of ante. bellum days' by Mrs. Hollingsworth Wat- kins, formerly of Louisiana. Lincoln's Love for South, In responding to the toast to Abraham Lincoln, “He Was Not for an Age, but for All Time,” Colonel Henry Watterson sald: Jefterson Davis, than whom there never |uved, in this or in any land, a nobler | gentleman and a_knightller_ soldler, de- clared that next after the surfender at Ap- pomattox, the murder of Abraham Lincoln made the darkest day In the calendar for the south and the people of the south, Why? Because Mr. Davls had come to a knowledge of the mugnanimity of Mr. Lin- coln’s heart and the generosity of his in- tentions. If Lincoln had 1ivsd there would have been o era of reconstruction, with its re- pressive agencles and oppressive legisla- tfon. There would have bevn wanting to the ‘extremism of the time the cue of his taking off fo spur the steeas of vengeance, for Lincoln entertained, with respect Lo the rehabiiitation of the union, the single | wish that the southern states “should come back home and behave themselves,” and it he had 1ivéd he weuld have made this wish effectual, as he made everything effectual to_which he serfously addressed himself. His was the genlus of common sense, perfect intellectusl aplomb. He sprang | rom a southern pedigree and was born in the south. He knew all about the $outh, its institutions, its traditions and it pecullarities. From first to last throughout the angry debates preceding the war, amid all the passions of the war liself, not one vindic- tive, proscriptive word fell from his tongue or pen, whilst during its progress thero was scarcely a day when he dld not pro- ject his great personality between &ome southern man or woman and danger. Yet the south does not know, except as a kind of hearsay, that this big-brained, big-souled man was & friend, a friend at court, when friends were most in neea, having the will and the power to rescue It trom the wolves | of brutality and rapine whom the history of &ll wars tells us the lust of victory, the smell of battle, lures from their hiding to prey upon the helpless, the dying and the dead. But, perusing _the urter-story of those dread days, Mr. Davis knew this and died dolng full justice to the character of Abrabam Lincoln. The years cre gliding swiftly by. Only a littia while and there =hall be no man living who saw eervice on either side of that great struggle of systems and ideas. its passions long ago vanished from manly bosoms. That has come to pass within a eingle generation In America which in Europe required ages to accomplish. There is no disputing the verdict of events. Tet us relate them truly and mterpret them falrly. When (hose are gone that fought the battle and posterity comes to strike the final balance sheet, it will be shown that the makers of the constrtution left the relation of the states to the federal govern- 1 ment and of the federal government fo the states open to a double conetruct 1t Wik be fold_haw the mistaken notion that slave labor wad requisite to the pr able cultivation of sugar, fice and cotton raised @ paramount property interest in the southetn section of the unlon, whilst in the northern eection, responding to the trend of modern thought and the outer movements of mankind, there arose a great moral sentiment against elavery. The con flict thus established, gradually but surely ction 1g party lines, wis as inevitable It was irrepressible. 1t was fought ou the bitter and logical conclusion at Ap mattox. It f ues n huddle of petty sovereigntles, held together by n rope of sand, It made and it left us a nation Davis Dies a Martyr. Mr. Russell, in replying to the toast of Jefterson DBavis, sald Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis ro both sons of Kentucky. The coarage the sincerity, the honesty of purpose that seem the heritage of all true Kentuckians ware theirs in fullest measure. In thelr ancestry, their education, their surround- ings they typify opposing forces and ir- reconeflable political idens. To the one the Declaration of Independ- ence meant that “all men are created equal,” and therefare free. That was the deminiant and - compelling motive in the public life of Abrah Lincoln. To the other the same declaration meant that cer in_colonjes, owing separately allegl Great Britain, had declared that are and of right ought to be free dependent states,” and therefore states forming 'tNe federal were free and independent The dominant political idea of Jefferson Davis was not the individual man and his personal rights, but the individual stato as the bulwark of conservative government and existing institutions. In brief, the contrast between Lincoln and Dayls 18 that the one belleved in the inalfenable rights of man, the other in the {nalienable rights of siate soverelgnty Both were sincere, both honest and both in_lagge measure right Jefferson Davis was they and in- that the constitution as much a product of his e t as Abraham Lincoln, and he, as tuuch as Lincoln, died a martyt to the principles in which he belleved aham Lincom gave his life for the 1 and the freedom of man. Jefferson Davis dled polltically, and his heart died when Grant refused his sword at yoma ttox The name of Jefferson Davie is linked fndissolubly with the confederate states. He made a government where none ex fsted. Ho overcame difficultics of colossal magnitude. His genius dominated a great war for years. The defeat of the southern confederacy was his defeat. Its fall was his fall. 1Its obsequies his obsequles The final toast of the evening was “The Silgnt Brigade,” rising and bugler sounding “‘taps.” TAX LEVY FOR THE SCHOOLS (Continued from First Page.) all to a quoted from the reports by Mr. Homan Mr. Funkhouser reminded the board that there was $110,000 in the bond redemption fund that had gome into that fund from the | appropriations of recent years and that the sinking fund had been brought up to date. He quoted other figures to show why ap- propriations had been larger since 1897 than in that year and where the money had | gone. By a vote of 10 to 2 the board adopted a report from the committee on high school recommending that the superintend- ent and the chairman of the committee on high school be authorized to secure a regular army officer to act as commandant of cadets at the* high school, provided w satisfactory assignment of a suitable of- ficer, regularly trained at West Point, can be secured at an expense not to exceed the sum now pald for that service. On recommendation of the same commit- tee, Mr. Pearson, now teacher of manual training in the Beatrice High schonl, was | elected assistant teacher of manual train- ing and mechanical drawing at the high school for the remafnder of the year at a salary of"$90 per month.

Workmen Own Property INDIANAPOLIS, Jan, 26.—At today's s slon of the Mine Workers' convention the special committee on the defense fund rec- omnienfed the collection of 'a large sum. It did nof deem it advisable at this time, however, 'to establish a national defeuse fund, but, owlrig te tNe unorganized condi- tion of the Wihérs In many districts, it was_thought' bést"to continue the 10 cents per moith assessment for another year: It advocated ' that each district accumulate and mafntain a fund until it becomes sufi- cleritly large to meet any crisis. Many dise tricts already mafntain such funds and it 1s belleyed that it it is necessary for the national organfzation to have tunds it can draw oh the districts. v The report of the epecial commitiee on injunctions went fully into detalls, the committee giving the history of the opera- tion of the igjunction law and, afier show- ing tho greatvabuses to which it has con- tributed, recommended that Mr. Mitchell appoint a committee of two to go to Wash- tugton and use its Influence to secure tho passage of the anti-injunction bill now pending in the senate, the committee also to be instructed to get the record of every senator and -representative on the bill. The report says: Injunctions in labor disputes are usually ranted against violent or unlawful acts which the statute ‘or common law pro vides ample remedy, and are a clear vio- lation of the right of trial by jury. The go far beyond the point of protecting t property of the plaintiff and deny to mem- | bers of the trade unions restrained their | constitutional rights of public assembia, They prevent us frora EOINg on our own property to hold meetings because it may happen to be near to or within sight of the property of our employers, although It would be difficult to imagine how it would | be possible for us to own any property that 1s not adjacent to some other property. | “Théy deny to us the right to talk to our fellow citizens and endeavor to persuade them to cease working for the plaintiff, and Injunctions embodying these orders are granted because it is alleged that if meetings are held and employes are induced to cease work, the property of the em- | ployer will be injured beyond any legal means of redress.

We ask no special er\'llegur at the hands of the government. We seck only to mecure for ourselves the same rights that are accorded to other citizens of our land. Needs More to Make Strike. e New Injunction Law. The report of the committee on consti- tutlon suggested many changes, the most important of which was a change in the voting representation of the districts so far as the power to inaugurate a general tofore every district bas had one vote in such matters, irrespective of its size, and two-fifths of the dftricts could vote to suspend work in all parts. Under tho amendment adopted there will be one vote for .every {wo hundred members of the district. Under_the new order it will re- qujre about three-fourths of the districts to order a general strike. During consideration of the report of the committee on initiation fees, Mr. Mitchell said: You have made provision for the mem- bers. of boys between the ages of 14 and 16. It seems to me that you ought to make some, provision for boys under 14 who work in our mines. For my part, I do not be- lleve they should be ailowed to work at all. Followlfig this ‘suggestion, Delegate Ray Hudson offered an amendment that boys under the age of 14 years' old be charged & $25 initfation "fee, fn order to make it prohibitive. The entiro matter was finally referred’ to the different districts. A recommendation that check weighmen employed by miners must be members of the United Mine Workers for three months and that no person shall bave & vote un- less he aseists in maintaining the welgh~ men was adopted.
