TheJMth of April next will be thi
rounding ont of the first century ofoni
nation's existence. It will commemo
rate a grand and historic event; it will
oommemorate the consummation of the
labor, tha trials, the sacrifices and
triumphs of the revolntionarr era; it
will commemorate tha placing of a new
and independent nation upon the mar
f nations; it will commemorate the be
ginning and tha organization of our
present form of government, when the
nation, amidst the hope and fears, th
doubts and tha faith, of the statesmen
and patroiis of that momentous period
started on its career wlueh at the end ol
100 years baa placed it in the front rank
of nations. The completion of the cen
tury with its great and most beneficienf
results should commend the homage and
the bonor of ail Uie people oi this land,
that the lesson it teaches of lov and de
votion to the flag of the nnion may be
more deeply than ever impressed upot
the hearts of every citizen.
It is expected that every state and
territory will be represented at thii
memorable event in New York.
In my judgment the people of Ne
braska will not desire to be behind othei
atatea in regard to a proper represents
tion on the crreat occasion.
This subject is submitted foryour eon

THs "Trusts" and "Combines. "
The message of Governor Thayer sub
mitting the communication of the gov
ernor of Kansas, recommending state
co-operatiou against trusts to the legis
lature, is as follows:
The Honorable the Senate and House
of Representatives:
I have the honor to transmit herewith
s copy of a communication from his ex
cellency. Governor L. W. Humphrey,
of Kansas, in which he purposes uni
formity of legislation between the
states interested in regard to beef and
pork "trusts" or "combines," for the
purpose of securing protection for the
farmer and the stock raiser against the
formation of such "trusts" or "com
bines." I also transmit herewith a copy of a
concurrent resolution adopted by the
legislature of Kansas proposing a con
vention composed of three senators and
five members of the house of represen
tatives of each of the states interested
for the purpose of considering and
adopting nniform legislation for the pro
tection of the people.
These "trusts" or "combines" are
created for no honest end. They are a
combination of the strong against the
weak; they are created for the purpose
of deyression and to drive men of small
means out of bnsiness. The enhance or
depress the market in order to subserve
their own speculative schemes, and
make the public their victims.
They are a combination of wealth and
power which is dangerous to the rights
and interests of the public; they are op
posed to public policy; they are opposed
to the public welfare, and should be
suppressed.
It seems to me the suggestion made
by the Kansas executive is a proper one
to be considered, and, in my judgment,
is aiming in the right direction for the
suppression of this wrong.
If you should concur witli it, you will
observe that immediate action is neces
sary, for the session of the legislature
of Kansas will expire about the first of
March.
If you will permit me, I would re
spectfnlly suggest the appointment of a
joint committee of the two houses for
the consideration of this matter at once,
so that I may communicate the result to
the governor of Kansas.
This communication and the accom
panying papers are submitted for your
consideration. Joh.v M. Tkatbb.

When the Lindsay submission bill was
reached Dempster moved that it be re
ferred to the committee of the whole,
which was adopted. Tho house tlieu
went into committee of the whole for the
consideration of house roll No. 20, a bill
providing penulties for selling mort
gaged property; also that no chattel
mortgage, except that given for the pur
chase money of property mortgaged,
shall be good unless signed by both hus-
uanu ana wile, llie bill was recom
mended for passage. Mr. Dillon offered
the following resolution, which, on mo
tion of Caldwell, went over until to
morrow: Whereas, It has been current
ly reported that abuses of a grave and
serious nature exist in the management
of tho agricultural farm; that there is
but little attention given to the educa
tion of the young and future farmers of
this groat state; that the fund derived
from the disposition of lands donated
by the state for the us? of the institu
tion has been diverted from its proper
channel, and has been nsed for other
purposes than that for which it was in
tended; therefore be it resolved, that a
committee of seven be appointed to in
vestigate these alleged irregularities,
witu full power to send for persons and
papers, and to administer oaths, lie
solycd, That this committee report as
eurly as practicable. .:
In the senate on the 20th most of the
day was taken up iu the discussion ol
two bills. The first, by Senator Shan
ner, requires abstractors of real estate
titles to be file with the county jnd" a
bond of $20,000, tho bond to be liable
lor damages that mav secure by renson
of errors in the abstracts furnished.
J.ue bill fixes the penalty for its viola
tion at a fine not less than $100 for each
offense. The Kecklny anti-trust bill
was taken up section by section. The
only important change made was an
amendment making the provisions of
the bill apply to trusts organized in
other states and doing bnsiness in Ne
braska. T here was no opposition to the
bill as a whole, and it went through tho
committee, without effort. Among the
blls introduced were the following: For
