    LIVED IN NEBRASKA.
A CHECKERED LIFE THAT F.
NALLY ENDED VIOLENTLY.
An Old-Time Neliraskan One of the
Victims of the Chandler Cyclone—A
Uau Who Is Well Remembered
by Many of (he Prominent
Politicians.
'John Dawson, of Lincoln, Nsb.
Old-time politicians around the legis
lature, says a World-Herald dispatch,
read the press dispatches from Okla
homa and had the memories of twelve
years ago revived. The story of the
cyelonc at Chandler told of men and
women killed in the wreck, of house*
as burned and piled up masses of tim
ber*. In the list of those who perished
was “John Dawson of Lincoln. Neb."
That inquiry among the men who are
now prominent in the politics of the
state as to who this was met with the
response, “f never heard of him," is
but another illustration of the old
truth that a man is soon forgotten
after he drops out of the running.
Ten years ago there was no better
known man among the politician* of
the state than John Dawson. In the
eighteenth session of the legislature he
was a member of the house and led the
fight for Gan. John Cowin for the
United States senatorship. Fewer men
have forgotten tin; battles of the past,
but old timers say that this was one of
tile most brilliant of the political
fights of the state. In the front runks
of the Oowin men was John Dowson,
leader, who hud the devoted allegiance
of his followers and the admiration of
his opponents which is the meed of
dash and brilliancy.
Dawson was an attorney who liven
in Almu. and in that session he repre
aeuted'the district now represented by
Hull i: twiii thp Hnnr of flu* lioiltsi* Ill*
bail a large practice, ami it is said lie
got u fee out of every good ease
for a hundred miles around ids home,
lie war a native of Iowa and a gradu
ate of the university of that state. Thu
late T M. Marquette said of him that
he was tin* brainiest muu and the most
brilliant that came up to the legisla
ture that year, lie was an omnivorous
rcuder and his energy is said to have
been of that kind which never Hugged.
Like many other men whose abili
ties ami opportunities have seemed to
conspire to make certain their future
success, he failed to meet the expecta
tions of his admirers. Habits of dissi
pation became the master of the man
and his business suffered. He wandered
away from his home and family und
finally settled at Vancouver, in the far
northwest, where his wife and children
joineo him. and he attempted to re
trieve the fortunes which had waned.
The history of this attempt is one that
lias had its counterpart in the memory
of almost every man. Nevertheless in
its details there is so much of human
frailty and Its penalties and strength
of human love and its powers to call
the erring heart hack to paths of right
endeavor that it deserves more than a
passing line.
From place to place John Dawson
wandered, trying to again get his feet
planted on Hrm ground of professional
success* and only found that life grew
harder for him. Six months ago he
went from Niobrara, where lie then
lived, to Texas, and then to Oklahoma.
The end of it all is that the press dis
patches contain a line giving his name
among the list of dead. Dawson's
family, it is understood, are living at
Montezuma, Colo., this being one of
place* at which lie attempted to get a
foothold in business. Ten or twelve
years is a short time, but it is long
enough for a muu to be forgotten, und
the story of John Dawson is but an
added proof that the general rule is
true.

PREPARING TO QUIT.
The I'pprr House Clearing the Way for
Farly Final Ail jntirnment.
The senate on the 3d gave the first
intimation that it was beginning to
consider the problem of final adjourn
ment. After a feeble opposition, the
first of the big appropriation bills was
taken up in committee of the " hole.
Senate amendments to the genera! ap
propriation hill are numerous, but they
make bnt little difference in the aggre
gate of the amount, carried by tin*
measure. One notaffle feature of the
session on the 3d was defeat of the trill
which had for its purpose the wiping
out of existence of the Hurlington
volunteer relief department and all
kindred organizations connected with
the management of railrouds. Two
bills were introduced at the present
session directly aimed at their exist
ence. One of these bills was intro
duced by Mr. Heal of Custer and is No.
333 on the tiles. It aimed directly at
the evil sought to Ik- corrected. It
was entitled "An act to prevent assess
ment of employes by their employers,
except by the request of said empbrye*,
for purposes of relief and insurance,
and to provide that, such voluntary re
lief and insurance organizations shall
comply with the laws of the state re
lating to mutual insurance companies."
It contuincd the following provision:
It shall Is: unlawful for liny persitn. firm or
I'oriMirutlon. transuding business or employ
ing lutjor In this stale to Impose any assess
ment upon Its employes for purposes of re
lief or liisiiruiii-e. except Oy the voluntary

their employes unv sum whatsoever, us an

relief fund or Insurance, and eaeli case of

Supplies for Male Institution*.
The awards for supplies for state in
stitutions were made by the board of
purchase and supplies on the 2d. Kids
for stationery for the Beatrice institu
tion were rejected for the reason that
they were at the same prices in all
particulars. The proposal for meat
at the same institution wus rejected,
the same licing the only one submitted
and out of proportion to other meat
bids at other institutions. Proposals
for hardware at this institution were
rejected because they were not suf
fiently specific. The proposal for
drugs at the home of the friendless
was refected, because it was the only
one submitted and the board desires
competition. Proposal for Hour at the
Milford soldiers' and industrial homes
was rejected, because there was but
one bid for each institution and the
board desires to let these various con
tracts under competition. New bids
have been called for, to be opened
April 15, at 2 p. m.
Paying Cash for the llomls.
State Treasurer Meservc on the 2d
paid the first installment of the re
funding bonds issued in 1877. and
which fell due on the 1st. Of these
bonds 8123,000 arc held by eastern par
ties, and must be paid as soon as pre
sented. One of the express companies
received a block of bonds amounting
to 835,000 for collection. A represen
tative of the company called at the
oHice of tin- state treasurer shortly be
fore noun and presented the bonds for
payment. They were properly identi
fied and cheeked and the amount paid
over to the express company. Another
block of the bonds amounting to 825,
0(g) will lie paid at once. Treasurer
Mcrsorve lias been notified that the
balance of the bonds held in the east
have been started and are now on their
way to Lincoln. They will arrive
early in the coming week. The treas
urer has the cash in hand to meet the
demands for the entire amount held in
t he east.

ALLEN ON THE TARIFF
NEBRASKA'S SENIOR SENATOR
MAKES A SPEECH.
The Doctrine of I'rotertlon Attarked—
He Assert* that Comparatively lew
laboring Men favor It—Trust*
and Combination* Severely
Criticised.
Nebraska's senior Senator.
Washington (liepatch: Senator Allen,
populist, of Nebraska, inode a long
speech In the senate on the unconsti
tutioualit'V of tarilT taxes beyond those
requisite for revenue. Aftliougli it
was tile first tariff speech the senate
has heard this session, if did not at
tract marked attention. Mr. Allen
criticised tile trust* and combinations,
which, he declared, reaped the main
advantage of tariff taxes. The sena
tor’s remarks were in the nature of u
legal argument showing the constitu
tional limitation of the tuxing power
of congress. In the course of his
speech lie said:
“We have a right to consider the
character and occupation of tin* men
making the claim for protective legis
lation. They are not the laborers
themselves those whom it is said pro
tection is tq benefit hut they lire the
manufacturers, the bankers, the attor
neys and lobbyist*, who appcul to us
in the name of the wage-earner.
There are very few of the laborers and
producers who believe that, the wages
are raised substantially by a high tariff,
and stiil fewer who desire that such a
tariff shall be levied on the articles of
necessary consumption of per cent
of the people for their special benefit.
It Is true there are occasionally a few
wage earners, ignorant of the princi
ples underlying this. who. in conse
quence of being repeatedly told so.
believe prosperity is dependent in
some measure on a protective turiff.
;mn mev uin imiiicrii nv me entity
mill greedy for whom they lalsir to im
port line congress to protect tin- partic
ular brunches of industry in which
they are engaged. Hut the >e men ure
few indeed, and they are almost al
ways incited to such appeal* by those
for whom they labor and in the inter
est of those who reap in their name
the lienefit of the high protective leg
islution."
In conclusion, the senator said: *1
place myself on the solid, impregnable
ground that under our constitution
congress does not possess power to tax
the people to enhance the private for
tunes of tin- few and that the full
measure of the taxing power Is reaelied
when a turiff for revenue, with inci
dental protection, is imposed. Any
other construction would lead to con
fiscation and incidentiully to enforced
repudiation, the two worst conceivable
forms of anarchy and disorder in a
civilized state: and such a deduction,
w hen carried to its legitimate length,
would lead to the subversion of ail
order, and the rights of persons
and property. We cannot serve the
people and the money power at the
same time. Their interests are deadly
antagonistic. What is for the com
mon welfare is against the .trusts and
pools.”

DIVIDING NEBRASKA.
; Congrr«*nian (irufm'i Hill for Two ,?adl*
rinl Yflfttrlrt*.
Washington special: A bill has been
introduced in the house by Judge
tlreene to divide the state of Nebraska
into two judieial districts, to l»e known
as the eastern and west. This differs
from tile bill introduced by Judge
Strode iu the last congress and
reintroduced in the present house, pro
viding for u division into northern and
southern districts. Judge Strode'* bill
looks to the division of the state, giv
ing each judicial district three con
gressional districts, the Nei.cui, Third
and Sixth to be the northern district,
and the First. Third uml Fifth to com
prise tile southern, with terms of court
to lie held in cities as now prescribed
by law. While Judge lircene's bill
seeks to establish courts In Hastings,
Kearney and ('hadron, his division of
the proposed districts being drawn in
practically a straight line between
Nuckolls amt Thayer on the south to
between Knox and Cedar on the north.
Nothing can he done with either one
of these hills in the house at this ses
sion of congress on account of the lack
of organization of committees, there
being no judiciary committee to con
sider and report iiimiii the bills. Judge
Strode'* bill, which has been for some'
time before the attention of the liar of
Nebraska, has received a large endorse
ment there of the legul fraternity,
which will lie used by Judge Strode In
urging thi- hill for passage.

TARIFF BILL PASSED.
VND IT COES INTO EFFECT AT
ONCE.

Who VotfMl for tl»e Hill.
Went Through by a Hlg Majority.
Washington. April 2.—With this
morning the duties imposed by the
Dingley tariff bill went in force and
the present law is a thing of the past,
if the last amendment attached to the
hill before its passage in the House
yesterday, fixing to-day as the day oil
which Its provisions shall go into ef
fect, should tie in the hill when It Is
finally enueted and should he held to
he legal by the courts.
The Republican victory was com
plete. They presented an unbroken
front to ttic opposition. All the ru
mors that dissatisfaction with particu
lar schedules of the hill might lead
some of thorn to break over the party
traces proved absolutely unfounded.
On the other hand, five Democrats,
one more than was anticipated, braved
the party whip and gave the hill the
approval of their votes. These five
Democrats are Interested particularly
in the sugar schedule. Three caine
from Louisiana and two from Texas.
One Populist, Mr. Howard of Ala
bama, voted for the bill. Twenty-one
other members of what Is denomi
nated “the opposition." consisting of
Populists, fusionIsts and silverltea, de
clined to record themselves either for
or aguinst the measure.
The vote on the lluul passage of the
hill stood: Ayes, 205; nays, 122; pres
ent and not voting, 21; a majority
of sa.
Speaker Reed added to the dramatic
nature of the climax of this ten days'
struggle in the House by directing the
clerk to cull Ids name, at the end of the
roii can, record mg ins vole tor Me i
bill.
After the amendment fixing to-day I
as tlie date on which this hill should
golntocffect had been adopted, against
the protests of the Democrats, who
contended that it was retroactive and,
therefore, unconstitutional,three hours
were taken up with short speeches,
most of which were made for the licne
II t. of the galleries anil tile constituents
of the speakers. The Democrats had
yielded the question of a long debate
over the Grosvcnor amendment in
the hope that enough progress might
he made with the bill to permit the
House to reach the sugar schedule,
hut only two pages were read, leaving
140 unconsidered In committee of the
whole. The motion to recommit with
instructions to amend the hill so as to
suspend the duties on articles con
trolled by the trusts, upon which they
based the principal hope of breaking
through the Republican ranks, failed
of its purpose Every Republican
voted against it. There was a great
demonstration on the tloor and in the
galleries when the bill was finally de
clared passed.
The vote on the amendment fixing
April 1 as the date on which the bill
was to go into effect was taken and it
was adopted, 150 to 120.
The bill was then passed. Five
Democrats—Messrs. Meyer, Broussard
ami Davey, of Louisiana, and Kleburg
and Slayifen, of Texas, voted with the
uiajotity.
One of the features of the closing
hour of the debate was a brief speech
by Mr. White, Republican, of North
Carolina, the only colored man in the
house, in commendation of the bill.
In the name of 9,000,000 of his race. 00
per cent of whom were laborers, he
indorsed the bill.
