The one great desideratum in all this
later series cf inversus -was some
means of s-rcuring perfect synchronism
that is to say, an absolutely identical
rate of movement in similar but widely
separated sets of apparatus. Many and
ingenious clook-work contrivances, elec-
tne governor, rapid, separate impulses,
t and so on, were restored to in the hope
os obtaining this essential; bnt they all
failed either in certainty or rapidity,
until a little over a year ago, when by
the discovery of "Visual synchronism"
the stubborn problem was at last solved,
I and the one great bar to the progress
and perfection of raoid telecrapby was
removed and a path opened up along
which the march of improvement may
go on to achievements hitherto un

Lincoln, 5eb., Jan. 27 "Why doen't
the seuate do something?" ia a cemmon
query.
There is vry little the senate can do
Eighty-one bills have been introduced and
eventy-three have gone as far a- the com
mittees. Only six have reached the gen
eral file, where they may be discussed In
committee of the whole and prepared for
passage.
The fault, If there is a fault, may be
charzable to the committee. Only three
have reported, and they have turned In
about a dozen bills, half of them with a
recommendation for indefinite postpone
ment. The committees have been s!ov hi
getting to work and not very rapid in
action. This i- due in part to inexperience.
The greatest share of work thus far has
fallen to the Judiciary committee, and only
one of its members, Senator Chr;stoffer-on,
of Omaha, is a lawyer.
The key to the situation lies In the con
tests. If the legislature were rid of them
there woulfl be ample time to pass needed
laws. The independents begin to realize
the situutlon. and there is a growinz num
ber in favor of dropping the contest and
leaving Gov. Boyd's title to be settled by
the quo warranto proceedings instituted by
Gen. Thayer. It was partly with th.it In
view that the data of the content was post
poned from Feb. 5 to Feb. 17.
The senate Is more conservative than the
houe. and It Is just poible that the con
current resolution naminz th date f r
hearing the coutest may le defea-ed. Most
of the independent senators realize that the
contests may consume weeks of valuable
time with no certain result except tha of
piling up h great bill of expen-e. beside en
dangering lezi-lation that they want. Sev
eral of them think the sober socond thought
of the people would onmend them as zen
ulne benefactors of the commonwealth if
they would make a tedious, costly fight over
the contests an Impossibility by votinz
azainst the resolution. Two of them have
have the power to save the state many
thousand dollars, checkmate the railroad
and clear the way for the legislation that
the alliance and the people generally de
mand. In the 3nate the committee on federal
relations recommended the pas-aze of the
memorial to conzress asking for an appro
priation of Si. 000.000. The commlttn ha"
amended it by strlkinz out the name of
the counties on the theory that it will tand
a better show of paage without designat
ing a particular district, and has Incra-d
the estimate of the number of needy per
sons to 200.000.

afterwards withdrew tb" resolution.
Mr. Capck, deraocntic. of Douglas, then

Whereas. Said bill is the boldest stroke

Whereas. Said force bill is a menace to

fortunes: therefore be it
j?olcl. By this bouse, the enate con
enrrinz. that the legislature of Nbra-ka.
bellevinz in local sovereiznty, federal unity
aud the secrecy of the ballot, is decidedly
