KEARNEY , Neb. , February 16 To the Editor of Tnit BEE : In THE OMAUA BEE o'f the 10th inst. , was a report of the discussion between the legislative committee on the one side and the managers of the U. P and B. & M. railroads on the other , from which wo quote : "Senator Harrington , of Gage county , naked him ( Mr. Touzalin ) to explain why it was that a car of freight could go from Chicago to Lin- colu for § 52 80 , and then § 38 bo charged for forwardiLg it , to Beatrice , Its destination. " Some time last week" Mr. F. J. Svritz , of Kearney , received a carload of f'irniture from Chicago via the 0. , B & Q r.n-1 B. & M. roads , and ho paid § H19.50 freight on the eame. Now , the distance from Chicago to Lincoln via 0. , B. & Q. Js 546 railea ; the distance from Ghic o to Kearney via 0. , B. & Q in C82 milsD. The ducriminatiou teems to bo thus : To carrying 1 car G82 miles ( Chicago cage to Kearney ) $21950 To carrying 1 car 340 miles ( Chicago cage to Lincoln ) 52 80 To carryintr 1 car 1E6 miles ( Lin coln to Kexrney ) 5166 70 Thus it appears that the road car ried a car from Chicago to Lincoln at nine ceuis and six mills ( $0.096) ) per mile ; and then they carried o car from Lincoln to Kearney at § l.22 cents per mile. Tua discrimination per mile is thus : Rate per mile from Lincoln to Kear ney § 1.225 Pate pr mila from Chicago to Lin- corn P.OS6 Discrimination per mil * against Kearney 5L129 The above comp irison seonvj pretty tough.

Wholesome Advice to. Certain Aspiring Young Attorneys Who Hope to Grace cthe Fo rum of Nebraska Politics. 'Something Like a Job- Discovered - ered in theTenitentiary Bill. $ Fobruaiqz,16. Special Cjrrespindence of HThoBw | * , There is au apparentdjeposmon.pn the part or'the iiouaS-no dodgi&m- portant legislation. The victory gained in the election of General Van Wyck to the United States senate should h&vo encouraged the present legislature in well-doing , There never was a representative bcdy of men placed in a position to et.ii d well with their cons'ituanta ai irnn the present legislature. It was and is within the piiwer cf the presint legiclaturo to do much in bringing the corporations tea a aenso of tiicic true relations to the neople of this cimraonweaHh , as well as to have taught the various aspiring young attorneys , whose aim 3.26ms to be too often to promote their own in terests by trifling with public trusts. It seems to be the highest ambition of too many of our young lawyers to BO euro corporation patronage by cov ertly acting in their interest. The introduction of the prohibition amend ment at this time is a eerious mistake , and I am afraid lull finally result in e. positive injury to the people by su bordinating to it all the more impor tant , political issues at present agi tating the minds ot Nebraskiaus , and more especially those issaea relating to corporations and their relations to the people. Most of the members of the house at least ahnw an Anxiety to imko a record as nuti mon < poltats , but I am afraid that many resolutions and bills of "an impracticable character" h&ve been introduced for rnero buncombo. Some of tluso m n are erer so ready upon the slightest cause to consult the interests of ttie railroads , as * well ns always being chary of antagonizing the corporation magnates. 1 am get ting itt the true inwardness of eomo of iho methods by which a certain class of record-making representatives expect to satisfy the people with their course us hborers in the public inter est , while on tlie other hand they bear close relniion to the different corpora tions , and in many cases are in affilia tion with thy various rings attempting to make raida Upon thn public treai- ury. ury.It 'onld be well for the voters in this etato to closely Rcru'inizi the public and inside record of their rep- rcsjiitatives. So that trust may not be repcted in ahadoirs , too tmny pub lic men a.wk only to promote tha pub lic itittrest , juu as long ns their own perairi.il advancement is concerjcd. Minyagnt-d measure can only ba massed by pledging support tu tome sctieme ( fa d.ingoroua charecter. This is a great evil , and should be guarded against by letting every meaa- ure eund upon its merits. There are at present before thu housa many bills relating to tbo re funding ot municipal ai.d school din- trie : indabiednesB , as woil aa bills to legalize public debts that have been declared illegal by the courts. So ne of these bills have merit , while oth ers are bad in priuciple.- There is a strong lobby at work in tin1 iu'emtg of the penitentiary ring. 1 stated yesterday that ihe'comruittee of Carna * appoint ing had recommended nearly § 50,000 ft r improvomeuta on the pen , while Spuiker Shedd'a com mittee , of which Buley , of Washing ton , is c'inirmati , think and know that less tlian $5,000 is all that Is neces- cary. It was moved to refer the re- per : uf the house committee on peni- tautiaiy to the committee on w Ay a and means. Mr. Hall , of CMS , objected to this. It waa too lale in the day to refer such matters to that committee. Mr. Howe , of Nomaln , thought it should be reterrcd to the committee on ways and means. iMr. Slocuinb , of Jefferson , wanted it refn.-ruil to the committee of the whole , to bo taken up with the general appropriation bill , which waa done. Mr. Shick , of Nemaha , wanted the rai road bills , which came up on cpecial order this afternoon , to be considered in the following order : The bill to prohibit the acceptance'of free rai'road passes , bills to prohibit txfr ii > n , bills fix-ng regular passen ger tariff , and & bill for a railroad commission. Mr. Whedon , of Lancaster , amend ed by providing that in the debate each member be limited to twenty five minutes. Mr. Jensen , cf Butler , amended the amendment by making it fifteen minutes. Mr. Moore , of York , didn't like the resolution. It was for the house to take up these bills as it saw fit , "It is unfair fur the gentleman from. Lan caster to try and put a gag upon the most important measure that can come before the house. " Mr. Case , of Clay , thought it beat to consider the bills first in a general way , and then decide on one that would cover the whole question. Mr. Corrcll , of Thayer , and Howe , of Nemaha , thought all bills should ba considered in rc-sul.it order. Mr. Broatch , of Djuglaa , was In fa vor of the resolution'of the gentleman from Lincaster. The gentleman from York had advocated the gag law yes terday in the prohibition debate , and ho should favor the gag law to-day. Mr. Ransom , of Otoe , thought the house should take up the free pass bill /rst / ? , and then the members would be free to legislate on railroad dis crimination against the people. Both resolutions and amendments were referred , and the house decided to consider the bills as they came up on the general bill. The whole afternoon was devoted to tte discussion of bills numbers 19 and 95. The former provides for an act to make railroad , canal , bridge and ditching companies , and companies and parsons responsible for material furmshfcd and labor performtd in the construction , repnir or improvement of any such works , and to secure tha laborer and material man a lien for his material furnished and labor per formed. The committee reported the bill back to the house recommending its ptssage , mid the report wvj adopted. Bill No 95 p'ovides for virtually 'he ome law as does No. 19 , but is not so binding. The com-uitiea of tha wh la ru ported it iuok recommend ini ; its pis sage , but the houss indefinitely post poned f ction on the icport. The hnuso then sdpurnsd without reaching the uiosi important bills , which will noi likely coiao up for sev eral days. The senate tock up the day in 3i- cusMng a bill for an act to provide for a system of public instruction. So great was the interest manifested in the bill that ouly eiyht of the mem bers fell asleep pending the dabite.
