AGAINST AN &MA 'SESSION

Legislature at Present.
HE DOES NOT THINK IT NECESSARY

vantage Would llcimlt Lin
coln NOHH Notes.
LINCOLNNob. . , March 5. [ Special to THE
BBE.J Governor Boyd gave the following
to the press this afternoon :
"Ever since the first news to the offoo t
that the supreme court had decided in my
favor , I have boon bosoiged by people
throughout the state , urging mo to call the
legislature togotber in extraordinary session.
I doomed it but right that I should yield full
consideration to their urgings , andprocooded
to inquire of others regarding the aJvisabll-
Ity of taking such a stop. I have conferred
with loading citizens of all parties and rank
during the past few waaks and I have found
a decided prjpondoraaco opposed to such u
special session , mainly for two cause ? : Tno
extra burden of expanse wnlch it would put ,
upon ttio people , and the impolicy of disturb
ing business intarosts without a certainty of
accomplishing desired results.
"It was with this latter aim In view that I
addressed a personal letter to each andovory
member of tbo legislature , in both house and
senate. I have received replies from nearly
all of them , ana less than u majority ot either
house favor the holding of an extra session ,
and many of those in favor doubted whether
good result * could bo achieved "upon the sub
jects which 1 considered the chief occasion
for an extra .session ; the roapportlonracnt of
tbo state Into senatorial and representative
districts ; the amendment of tbo Australian
ballot law ; the restoration'to cities of the
metropolitan class the right of eminent do
main ; and the necessity of establishing reasonable -
enable maximum rates of charges for the
transportation of freight on the different
rallroaas In thin state a reduction of from 10
to 30 per cent of existing tariffs.
Opposed Jly Jtepublloutm.
"I find universal opposition on the part of
republican members to the latter suboctaud ]
they think no railroad legislation Is needed.
A largo raajorltyof the independent members
favor the passage of a reasonable maximum
rate bill , and agree that' Hid Newberry bill
was entirely too sweeplnfrund radical , and
would favor the above uamod reduction , but
loaders of tbo indenanqgnt mrty tuoso who
would control legislation * oVow their inten
tion to accept no corapromUs& from the terms
of tbo Newbcrry bill , j'4'ftft democrats are
almost unanimous In support of my sugges
tion for a rcasonaolo roductYim , but say that
should the legislature bovcojivonod tbore is
danger that the indepondonj. party would bo
controlled by the lending man of that party
and no good could be accomplished , certainly
not sufficient to warrant the expense , whlcti
would be not less than jrom(7&UH , ( ) to flOO-
( XX ) . In shott , suinuitjig ; Up tbo responses
of members of 1 the legislature ,
I am convinced that ) qoUsfactoty results
would not bo achieved , besides a great num
ber of tbo members doom It inadvisable to
convene such a sessIoti'J before Juno on ac
count of BO many members bainc farmers ,
and this being a season wbontLoy are needed
ut homo to look after tbelr personal Interests.
It is furthermore probable that legislation
B-vulch might be accomplished could not bo
caruiea with , tbo emergency claasoand hence
would not become operative until three
months later almost at the day when the
people would bo called upon to choose a new
loifUlaturo-whlch could bo done with bettor
results than depending upon the existing
body ; besides the pooploat the next election
will vote upon the adoption of a constitu
tional amendment providing for the election
of three railroad commissioners , and If tbe
proposition receives tbo roquUltu majority ,
which it ought to , tbe no\t legislature can
define lu duties and officers can bo commis
sioned in loss than a year from this time , and
the people will then have tbo so much do-
ilrod lowa system of railway legislation.
" 1 bare found also , In advUlog with others
than members of thologislaturo"mon of good
judgment in all parties , a decided feeling that
a special session uf the existing legislative
body would bo viewed outside of the stnto as
a monaco to the business and tinnncinl.Inter
ests of the stato.
It fanned Altirh L'neiiHlnoss.
"It is recalled that at the regular session
in the winter of 1891 one wing of that body
the senate found it necessary to quiet
alarm by making a special declaration that it
would not attack Investments and mortgages
at that session. There is a general distrust
of the wisdom of the domlnent party In the
legislature In dealing with financial questions
ana vested interests , a distrust clearly justi
fied by the replies received from tno inde
pendent leaders.
"In regard to the roapportlonment of the
state into senatorial and representative dis
tricts , a matter which I consider of prime
importance , lot me call your attention first to
tbo fact that tbe legislature at tbe last ses
sion clearly neglected its duty to reapportion
the state. High legal authority informs me
that it could not now be done under tbo consti
tution , which requires that such reupportlon-
tnont shall be done at the first regular session
after taking tbo census , and at no other
time , and consequently the existing appor
tionment will have to stand until alter the
first state census which will bo taken in
16U. ) . Tnoio are , however , gra 'o doubts as
to the correctness of this opinion and it has
been cited to mo that our supreme court lids
on a similar question the matter of assess
ment for taxation , where thu constitution is
mandatory , that it should bo taken In a cer
tain time and where such action was
neglected held that tbo matter ot prime im
portance is that it should bo taken and if
neglected at tbo appointed time must betaken
taken at the first available opportunity.
"After carefully considering tbo whole
subject I bavo decided that tbo circum
stances do not warrant or justify mo in in
curring thu vorjr heavy expense of nn extra
session , necessarily increasing taxation and
I will , therefore , lot tno issues Involved go
before the people at the fall election , feeling
confident that the policy of protecting the
Interests of vho tax payers and the interests
of the state against unjust and unwise legis
lation will bo Buatulnei by the voters. "
Trouble of u hchoolnm'um.
State Superintendent Gaudy was today
surprised by the receipt of a letter that told
a very strange story. It was from a young
lady schoolma'am , spoken of as young. This
teacher who has been presiding over the ris
ing voters ot a western district writes to
know how oho is to obtain her pay for tno
past two terms. During that time Bho has
boon gradually losing scholar * , and each
scholar lost represented a family that had
moved from the district. This gradually
fading away of young ideas has continued
until tbo present two weeks ago , when tbo
last lone child disappeared over tbo distant
horizon , bound for novv dlgglns. At tbo
present time she is tbo only inhabitant of
the district and she wants to know how she
is going to get her pay.

CiiiOAoo , III. , March 5. A morning paper
says regarding the Scuddor case : For an
other week at least the question of Dr.Honry
M. Scudder's sanity will bo undecided , owing
to tbo protection afforded him by tbe law's
delay. Evidence to the effect that be Is a
victim of the morphine habit , and kindred
infirmities Is accumulating , and is likely to
form much of the testimony introduced by
hU frlfinds to prove his Irresponsibility. Tha
fact that all efforts nro being turned toward
proving that ho U insane , and that no effort ,
is mndo to deny that ho committed the mur-
uoras charged , must bo cousldovcd as a vir
tual admission of his guilt.
Adding to the weight of evidence going to
prove Scudder's guilt comes tbo fuel tbat bo
planned tbo crime so far in advance that ho
could and did malco announcement of bis
mother-In-law's nouth bcforo It came to pass.
From William Clarice , Jr. , who Is an attorney
at room Oil nf tbo Firxt National bunk build
ing , it Is learned thu' Dr. Scuddor secured a
continuance of a case against him before- Jus
tice Foster by saying that Uls mother-in-law
was dead , though this was actually the day
previous to her violent death , Mr. Clnvlto is
the attorney for 13. M. Whittle , who had Dr.
Scudder arrested for assault two weeks ago.
