COUNTY COMMISSIONEB3.
VrryT.lttlo Occupies the llonrit During Its
Session Ycstcriluy.
Yesterday the county commissioners
opened the bids of Meyer & Raapkc , R. E.
Welch , F. J. Lange and William Fleming
for furnishing groceries for the county poor
farm and referred them to tno committee
on poor farm.
The bids of the American , World-Hotald
and UEI : publishing companies for doing the
county advertising were referred to the com
mittee on finance , after Mr. Paddock had as
certained tbat In each case'an afildavlt of
circulation accompanied the bid.
Among the bills presented was ono for $0
for dental service rendered tno late lamented
Mr. Ea Neal by Dr. J. C. Whlnnory. Mr.
Paddock Insisted that the claim bo referred
to the committee- judiciary , as a legal
question was involved. Ho was not certain
that dental services for a man who was to bo
sent Into thin air in a very few days oould ba
eliubcd as a necessary outlay. Ho said that
stimulants und meals for Mr. Neal had ooen
furnished with great cheerfulness , t-ut lie
was disposed to draw the line an dentists and
chiropodists.
Mr. Paddock experienced another touch of
sadness when n bill for rubber stamps was
read. Ho wanted a rubber stump maker employed -
ployed by the year as .similar I'llls were pre
sented at every Rosslon. They were Hue the
endless locust clouds of Egypt and should bo
furnished inJob lots Ilka stationery. Tno
bill was referred.
The same gentleman offorrd a resolution
providing that all general fund claims that
could not bo allowed out of this year's fund
bo placed on sheet No. 1 of tbo general fund
of Ib'J. , not to bo available until July 1. This ,
ho snld , was In order that a record mleht bo
kept of thcso claims nnd that tuo holders
mignt realize on them ; carried.
Ho also moved that all bids on starch , oat
meal and tlour bo rejected and the clerk In
structed to re-advcrtlso for a week , with the
understanding that ( foods ol Nebraska
manufacture would bo given the preference
at the same price.
Dr. George L. Miller appeared before the
board with reference to the road laid
out through Seymour park from Millard to
Soutb Omaha. Ho slated that unless the
county took stops to obtain legal possoislou
of the road be would close it , which the
county attorney had assured him bo had a
right to do. Tbo commlttcp on roads was
Instructed to report the matter ut the nuxt
mooting.
Sold Out IIU Itiiiilncni.
A. L. Strang & Co. , dealers in engines ,
boiler * , pumps , eta , have sold their stock of
gooes to the Churchill Pump company und
will go out of business. The stock will bo
turned over as soon as the inventory can bo
finished. The Churchill Pump comoany
will continue Doth stores for tbo tlmo being ,
but will ultimately consolidate them in their
Douglas street establishment.
Mr. Strang's business plans for tbo future
are not inatuicd , but ho will probably civo
the coming spring and summer to tbo devel
opment of tbo important real estate interests

WASIIIVUTOV , D. C. , March . " . The maglo
power of Chairman Holman of lha appropria
tions commltteo wai broken in the house
today for the first tima this session , and all
the barriers and traditions which precedents
and practice bavo thrown around the com
mittee were berne dovn under the Impetus
of the champions of agriculture. It was the
old conflict of prerogatives against prece
dents , of the commlllco on agriculture
against the comiuittooon appropriations , and ,
as usual , Chairman Hatch nnd his colleagues
carried the day , and Mr. Holman was unabln
to check the decree of sentiment which
swept over the house and awarded to tbo
agricultural commlttoa jurisdiction over its
own appropriations. Tin effect of today's
action of the house is a matter which nfTccts
the strength of the bulwarks that aurroand
tbo committee on appropriations. It is far
reaching in its results nnd may break on
tlrely the force of the nppropnalions com-
mlttco in its assumption and doslro-J to scru
tinize and revise all appropriations to bo
passed upon bytho Fifty-second congress.
< inv rnmiit i\hllilt : ut thu I'ulr.

The urge-it doflcl ijeyvblll passed without

ciency $ lii'JnOO for parrying on the work of
the bureau of nnimal 'Industry , and $10,0 ! > 0
for experiments in iho reduction of sugar
was taken up. \ ' , ,
Mr. llolmitn 1'rrc'lpltatcK Discussion ,
The exciting Incldiiiu'tff tbo day occurred
when Mr. Hoi man'opposed the bill on the
ground that the cotninjuco on agriculture
hud no jurisdiction over tno mutter , and that
it Is properly undoi' ibq jurUdlctlon of the
committee on appropriations. He had fur
ther objection thav thji'.commlltoo had not
properly ln\estlgatiid ths question of appro
priation ana propounded several inquiries
uearmg upon this point. '
Mr. Hatch deellnuU'tq'be catoctilsod by the
gentleman from Indiana , ,
Mr. White of Iowa ( tmstnbsr of the com-
mllteo on agriculture ) jiisorted emphatically
that proper Inquiry naff been mado.
When Mr , Holman had finished spaaking
Mr , Hatch toott the floor , prefacing his re
marks with an expression of rcgrot lhat his
colleague in the commltteo on agriculture
( Mr. White ) bad uoou caught In the trap set
by tbo gentleman from Indiana.
"I sot no trap , " sail } Mr. Holmun.
"If the gentleman sal a trap , " said Mr.
White , " 1 did not apprehend It. I thought
that tbo gontluman asked a legitimate ques
tion whether or not any witnesses were before -
fore the commltteo ) n agriculture , I replied
that wo relied upon tbo gentlemen who do
tbo work and wo came Into the bouse and de
manded the appropriation because it is abso
lutely necessary. "
Xouo oftliu ( irvut OI > Jrtor' Iliulncvi ,
Mr. Hatch said bo regaraod Mr. Holman's
objection us roitiug upon o foundation ibat
the appropriations carried in the bill had not
been properly Inquired into because they hau
been Instigated ny the committee on agricul
ture Instead of by the commltteo on anpro-
prialious. Mr. Hutch had made the same
figDt for five years. He had never brought
in a report fro'm the commltteo on agriculture
turo that had not been attacked because it
was unconstitutional or had not boon iccotn-
mended by the committee on appropriations.
The measure reported by his committee was
alwavs unconstitutional or had not passed
muster before the commltteo on apnroprta-
tions. [ Laughter. ] Tne commltteo on agri
culture had faithfully discharged its duty to
the house and to the country , but ho did not
propose to bo catechised by the gentle
man from Indiana as to what Information
mation ho got about thh or that. It was
notio of iho gentleman's business. [ Laugh
ter. ] It was the business of the committee
on agriculturo. The fact w.as that the com
mittee had before it , the bocretary , the heads
of the various bureaus and three or four
members of conirress. The committee had
reported this bill , not l > y leave of the gentle
man from Indiana or by favor of the commit
tee on apnropriations , but under the ruhs of
the house , which cnvo to the committee on
agriculture jurisdiction over all nopropria-
tlons for tbo agricultural department. If
this was not on aporopriutlon bill , what
was Iti
A Ulitliiutlon Without n UllVuruncc.
Mr. Holman It Is a deficiency.
Mr. Hatch That is a distinction without
a difference.
Continuing , Mr. Hatch said that tlmo and
again ho had soon the gentleman from In
diana luke the coastltutional knife and pare
appropriations so they could not bo soon
under u microscope , und when his own state
was Interested opan tbo doors wider than
was nccassary to allow this capltol to go
through. [ Laughter. ] Ono of the first
speeches ho hud over hoard iho gentleman
make was ono in favor of a bill to build a
turnpike road In Indiana. Where the gen
tleman got tbo constitutional uutbonty to
build a turnpike -road In Indiana he could
never BOO. [ Laughter. ]
The Dill was teen passed and the house
went into committee of the whole , Mr.
Outhwalto of Ohio in iho chair , on the in
valid pension appropriation bill.
Made 1'artlH in Speeches.
The discussion was directed to the relative
position of the democratic nnd republican
parlies on the subject of appropriations , The
speeches were for the moat part directed
toward those questions , Mr. Boutoile of
Malno making the principal speech in denun
ciation of the democratic party and serving
notice on the democrats that tlioy would beheld
hold to u strict account to tbo people if they
took upon themselves the responsibility of
stalking on the mast sacred of till the ex
penditures of the government.
Mr. Tarsnoy defended the bill and tbo np.
proprintlous made under It. Tbo Utno had
passed , ho said , when gonllomen could rnnljo
political capital out of the pension by tolling
the pensioners how much money the repub
lican party hud plvon them , whether the
pjiisloners were soldiers or whether they
were not. Ho ( Mr. Tarsnoy ) had Introduced
u bl'.l providing for u per dloin service pen
sion a service psnslon which would give n
pension to many a bravo man who served
four years , always on duty , and not to n man
who tad not patriotism enough to find out
where there was a recruiting oRIco until the
spring of ISO , " ) ,
At tbo close of the consideration of the bill
and when its passage was next In order , a
dispute arose over a minor amendment und
Mr. Bailey of Texas made the point of no
quorum. Ho did this , be said , not because
of opposition to the hill or its amendments ,
but In order to call the attention of th9 coun
try to the fact that members did not attend
the sessions of the house in sufficient num
bers to transact business. Tbo house there
upon adjourned ,

HosoUeil , That If thn owners of Syndicate

botith Umaha stand the cxpuiibu.
John J. Jenkins , who had boon a silent

for ho offered this resolution , which was
dedicated to the members of tno Park com
mission :

mission In fui mlns out the pavilion at Hans-
com ] ) arlt , free of rent , Is comlomncd by this

Mr. Sauor wanted another chance and got
It. The cuanca was accompanied by a reso

There was round of applause nod then

say a word about assessments. With his re
marks came the following resolution :
