THE IiHGISIiHTURH.
Both houses of the legislature
convened at two o'clock Monday af
ter a recess of several days. Fol
lowing the announcement of the
standing committee by Speaker
Gaffin, the flood of bills began.
thirty-eight being introduced in the
uouse during tne aiternoon, among,
them being two relating to the re
peal of the sugar bounty.
House roll No. 22 provides that
county judges, clerks, treasurers
and sheriffs in counties of less
than 2o,000 shall turn into the
county treasury all fees in excess
of $1,200 per year.
Senator Beall of Custer intro
duced the first anti-pass bill. The
penalty attached is a fine of $500
for giving or receiving a free pass
on a railroad. This bill will at
tract much attention, as most ot
the fusion members have passes
that are good until April 1. One
populist who was most rigid
against passes four years ago asked
for a pass this year.
The state banking board, com
prising Attorney-General Smyth,
Auditor Cornell and Treasurer
Meserve, met Tuesday and labored
several hours over the appointment
of bank examiners. The appoint
ment of Dr. P. L. Hall of Mead as
secretary of the board was made
official. Then the following exam
iners were appointed: Bob McRey-
nolds, Dawson county, J. T. Coad,
jr.. Omaha, Reuben Lipp, Pawnee,
G. A. Lulkart, Norfolk. All the
examiners except Mr. McReynolds
are said to be silver democrats.
Mr. Lipp is classed as a silver dem
ocrat, but his friends say that he
was a republican until the silver
question arose in the last cam-
paign.
One of the importart measures
which will come before the legisla-
o
ture this session, the effects of
which will be far reaching-, is a
bill -which Representative Rich has
in mind and which he will intro-
duce soon. It is in regard -to fore-4
closure and does awav with the mat
ter of deficiency judgments in stays
though it allows the stay in a dif
ferent form from that at present in
use. The principle will be that af
ter a decree in forclosureis rendered
the property is to be sold without
an appraisement, the owner being
given one year in which to redeem
it for the same amount at which
the property is bid in. The loaner
of money it is thought will be in
terested in bidding in the property
at the amount of the loan. Should
the borrower fail to redeem, no de
ficiency judgment could be entered
up, as the necessity for it would
disappear from the fact that the se
curity would be ample in most in
stances.
Sheldon of Dawes introduced the
following resolution Mondav:
'Resolved, That the house of
representatives of Nebraska sends
to the people of Quba, now strug
gling to free themselves from 400
years of Spanish misrule, oppres
sion and cruelty, our active sym
pathy in their struggles for liberty
and our earnest hopes that they
may soon secure the the right of
self-government now enjoyed by the
United States: that we condemn
the cruelty and outrages which
have marked the present Spanish
war in that island as deserving the
reproach of all civilized nations and
express our hope that the day may
soon dawn when. Cnba shall be free
and European domination and in
trigue shall be banished from
American soil; that we respectfully
urge the president of the United
States and our senators and repres
entatives in congress to, actively
support iram.edia.te measures des-
igna,tecl to secure honorable and if
possible peaceful independence for
the island of Cuba and that the
chief clerk of this house be instruct
ed to forward to the president and
to each of the representatives a
copy of this resolution."
The vote was unanimous in favor
.of the resolution, and it went
through without discussion.
