soarce from which it emanated, that it be

objection and where it came from. After
executive session the senate adiourned.
In the honse on the 24th, after a short
parliamentary wrangle the house proceeded
to vote uponthe committee amendments

ments are principally verbal and informal
in their character. After they had been
disposed of an amendment was adopted
enforcing the laws of the states giving
for labor a preference. A vote was then
taken on the minority substitute, which is
known as the "voluntary bankruptcy bill."
This was disagreed to yeas, 74; nay, 125.

whether any abuses exist in printing mat
ter in the" Congressional Record that
ouebt not to be printed therein, and to ra
port such bill or regulation as will limit
- nch printing to the actual proceedings in
in both houses; also whether it is expeai-
ent to edit the debates of congress by the
omission cf such parts as are immaterial,
and of such papeis as are already printed
as public documents. The resolution was
referred to the committee on printing.
Senator Morrill moved to proceed to con
sideration of the tariff bill, and Senator
Gray antagonized that" motion with one
to resume consideration of the bouse bill
to tranrfer the revenue marine service
to the nay department. The latter mo
tion was agreed to and the revenue
marine bill was taken up. Amend
ments were adopted extending the
application of the bill to the life-saving
service. Senator Cockrell spoke against
the bill. He had not concluded his re
marks when the hour of 1 o'clock arrived
and the tariff bill came up as unfinished
business. The formal reading of the bill
was dispensed with and Senator Vance
then "proceeded to address the senate.
Senator Allison defended the senate from

efforts made by the government to obtain
a modificationor the repeal of tbe decree
of the French government of 1S81. pro
hibiting the importation into France
of American pork and kindred Ameri
can products. The tariff bill was
then discussed. On tuoton of Senator
Wilson, of Iowa, the house amendment to
the original package bill was non-concurred
in and a conference ordered. TLe bill

to the widow of the late Gen. Crook. Bills

COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1890.
LOUISIANA X0T LOT
MORRIS TACITLY ACKNOWL
EDGES HIS DEFEAT.
Tfc Chief or the Lottery Swindlers Makes
Statemeat Regarding; His Promise to
Advance Money for Bulldlug; Levees An
Admission That His Bill Has Failed.
John A. Morris promised in a letter to
the lottery legislative caucus that if the
legislature would pass the bill submitting
the lottery amendment to the people he
wou'd advance $1,000,000 for levee build
ing this year and the same amount in 1891.
Last week a city paper referred to this as
a trap to catch legislators, and charged that
Morns never intended to keep the promise,
referring, by way of proof, to the fact that
"while Morris and hia supporters were
claiming that the bill had passed, notwith
standing the goTernor's veto, he was mak
ing no attempt to carryoot hiBpromise.
The trap worked, andijpWMorris
said the following inMpsTnterview'im.one
of the New Orleanajlottery organs:
When I madaylneoffer to advance 31.000,000
m ItfJO and a, Second million mlsai for the build
ing and repairing of the levees of tbe Mate I
did so In good faith, fully intending to falnll
my part of the contract, prtnidea that my
proposition be submitted by legislature and by
the governor to the people for their approval or
rejection. That has not been done ; the breach
of contract was not on my side. What I said I
would do I waa ready and am now willing to
perform. The people of the state have been
deprived of the nae for ten years of S2.000.000 by
one of the governor's mistakes. Of coarse I
eonldnot be expected to hand over eiOOO.OOO
out of the coffers of the lottery comnany with
out receiving some equivalent or promise cf
such for the stockholders of the lottery com
pany This is an admission in so many words
by the lottery boss that his bill failed.
The latter part is also an admission that it
is the same old gang, and not s new com
pany with the objectionable carpet-bag
and negro element eliminated. The par
ishes are holding m jetmgs and electing
delegates to the anti-lottery convention
called to meet in Baton Rouge on Aug. 7.
PUtt Objects to Pwying; Taxes.
The tax commissioners of New York
have assessed the stock of the United
States Express company at $400,000, but
Thomas C. Piatt contends that th s is a
joint stock association and not a corpora
tion, and that therefore it is exempt from
taxation. Its stock is nominally $10,
000,000, but it is simply an organization
under articles of agreement. Messrs.
Tracy, McFarland. Ivms. Boardman and
Piatt secured from Judge Andrews a writ
of certiorari to review the action of the
commissioners. The order is returnable
in October. The association s officers
maintain that the propobed tax is prac
tically a tax upon and a regulation of com
merce between states.
Dynamite Ruined the Business.
In a number of towns and counties in
Alabama local option prohibition has been
in force for years. Recently original
package" bonnes have been opened in
nearly all these places. Last wee J ames
Ward opened an original package shop in
Collmsville, DeKalb county. He was
warned to leave, but paid no heed to the
earning, and Saturday night his place was
blown up with dynamite. The force of
the explosion was terrible, and no original
packages were left in the neighborhood.
Ward says he will open again, but he bas
received a letter warning him that he will
be blown up with his packages next time.
Rise or Silver tn England.
The sudden rise in the price of silver has
caused all the financial writers on tbe Lon
don presH to sharpen their pens and put
their deepest thinking caps on in the hope
of enlightening the world as to the cause
and effect of this alteration in the ratio
between the two precious metals. The
expert of the Jfor7iini7 Post, who enjoys
the distinction of being perhaps the heavi
est writer on the subject, says that the
fluctuation in price is but a passing cloud;
that the effect of the American silver bill
will be wholly transitory, and that there
will be very little of the effect even while it
last.
Western Fork Packing
The Cincinnati Price Current says
Dry weather conditions have had an im
portant influence in hastening the market

A Free Lover Imprisoned.
Ezra H. Heywood, editor of the Worltf
and Apostle of Free Love, has been sen
tenced to two ;ears of hard labor in state
prison for sending obscene literature
through the mails. This case has been re
markable on account of the moral depravity
of some of the witnesses who testified in
Mr. Hey wood's behalf. The prisoner took
the sentence very coolly, although his wife
and sister-in-law seemed much excited.
Heywood was sentenced for a term of
years on Jan. 25, 1S7S, for a similar of
fense, and served until De?. 19, 1875. when
he was unconditionally released by Mr.
Hayes, who was petitioned by Heywood's
friends.
Leprosy Spreading In Canada,
There is considerable excitement over
the discovery that leprosy has made its ap
pearance in several remote part3 of the
Dominion of Canada hitherto unaffected.
Heretofore this dreaded disease was be
lieved to hare been confined within the
limits of the Lazaretto at Tracadie. Dr.
Smith, a medical officer at Lazaretto is
now investigating cases leported in the
island of Akicosti. The spread of the dis
ease ia believed to hae been the result of
intermarriage, and has secured a strong
hold, spreading out to the main land.
