Mk Editor I learn through your valuable
paper that the reform forees have renominated
Otto Mutz to represent the 14th senatorial dis
trict I am pleased to learn this I am pleased
to know that the fusion parties appreciate and
approve of the work of true sound men I feel
safe in saying t you that no man ever held a
seat m the Nebraska legislaturne who labored
mora understanding and honestly in the faith-
tul renresentation of lnsconstitueticy than did
Senator Mutz during the session of ISOfi I
would like to especially call your attention to
his work in behalf of the skippers of stock
It ha been t notorious fact well known for
years that the stock yard charges at Somh
I Omaha are an outrageous inbberv Stock men
have been robbed year after year by this dam
nable gang and were absolutely withoutremtdy
The agitation for a reduction in these terrible
rates commenced about ten years ago Five
sessions of the legislature passed without any
thing being done for the relief of shippers
Every bill that was introduced was crushed by
these monopolists
Notice some of the prices corn Si per bushel
when it could be bought on the streets of
I Omaha at 10c per bushel hay 1 per hundred
pounds when the market price was S600 per
ton Other charges such as yardage etc were
in proportion This is a terrible condition or
affairs aud yet by shrewd maneuvering the stock
yard managers have succeeded in killing any
bill Introduced for regulating these charges
This is one of the conditions that confronted
the members of the last legislature
Early m the session Senotor Mutz at the head
of a few determined members who were partic
ularly interested in this legislation got togethr
and drafted a bill known as senate lile No 33 to
regulate these charges and afford a relief to one
of the greatest industries of our great state
This bill was introduced by Senator Grothan
The fight commenced early in the senate The
stock yards sent down a strong lobby to defeat
the bill No stone was left unturned by these
men Hacks cigars and champague were free
to all members who were opposed to stock yards
regulations for weeks before the vote came
In the senate lor two days the fight was on in
the jommittee of the whoie aud what memora
ble days those were- Senator Mutz had been
chosen by the reform forces to champion this
bill and he was ablv assisted by other reform
senators This was one of the hottest lights of
that session
To this brave and determined handrul of men
who forced this bill through the stock industry
owes a great deal This was the first step in a
move that will eventually rectify a wrong which
will forever be a blot on the history of fair Neb
raska and it does me good to say to the people
of my home county that your representative was
in the front rank in this light and the acknowl
edged leader of the forces that accomplished this
great result
Later after a hard fight this bill passed the
house and became alaw The law went into
effect but the republican government by in
junction came to the aid of the stock yard
boodlers anil a republican corporation court
granted an injunction enjoining Attorney Gen
era Smyth from enforcing the new law and as
a reside the stock shippers are still being bled
by this contemptible ring
But it affords me great pleasure Mr Editor
to know that that the reform forces by thetr
reprtseutatives have kept their promises and
thank God the day is not far distant when an
intelligent independent populace educated in
the true principles of political economy will in
stall men by their votes inthe high tribunals
who will deal out justice and equal rights to all
Yours sincerely

It looked this morning as if our
market had lined up with others in
the matter of Saturday receipts only
four cars 136 head being reported in
the lightest supply for any market day
in the history of the yards except as a
blockade or something of that nature
shut off shipments There were not
enough to make a market but those
sold brought about yesterdays prices
which means considerable lower than
last week all along the line with a few
unimportant exceptions The weeks
supply 18344 was about 1800 short
of last week and 8300 less cattle were
on sale than corresponding week a
year ago and the tour western markets
combined show a 4400 decrease from
last week and of 22000 from a year

fair beef steers in t he pens this morn
ing which sold at 480 considered a
steady price
