Theie is ono cutioua phase in tin manage ment of tha prohibition bill in the houEO which makes it difficult to be * liovo that it ia gotten up In the real interest of morality. I do not bo- llevo the people of this state , -as a wholO | recognize In the "Artfuj Dodger , " thegenHeman from Nocsha , & mouthpiece upon any qucatioc affect- lug their real intorcet. Upon thia qucEtion there nre associated with the aforeBiid "Artful Dodger , " a num ber of young aspirants , who are aim ing to become the leading politicians of the state , and they know that by subordinating all 'other important is- BUOS to t'hi , they will at least secure the good-will of a large number of klnd-hoartcd women , as well as the endorsement of a certain set of superficial moralists , -while at * the same time they will be enabled to keep in tha background the many import ant issues that demand consideration and prompt attention from the legis lature. Tha agitation of the temperance question at this time thcroforo be comes n means whereby these poli ticians can bat servo the railroads and other corporations , as well ai the rings seeking to got a hsnd into the public treasury. There are various bills now pending In the honeo relating to bonds and ap propriations , as well other mutters , which will bo rushed through the house without careful scrutiny , because there Is not time. There maj be some imaginary gam in a prohibition law , but there is a certainty that certain citizens will receive real benefit from the hurried legislation likely to occur toward the end of the Bcecion , and thcso gains will bo made at the ex pense of the taxpayers of the state. Senator Tefft fortunately discovered in the education bill of Senator Linn , yesterday , a clause by irhich.certain bonds were to be made legal , but by amendment the danger was removed. The money lenders and boqd shavers usually do their business with closed doors , and this class prey aa much upon the taxpayers , and &ro as dan gerous in their methods , as the repre sentatives of organized capital. Mr. Abbott ; of Lancaster , naked. that his bill , No. 248 , to provide for" extending W. H. B. Stout's contract for completing the new wing of the capitol , to September next , bo pissed npon. npon.Mr. Mr. Hansom , of Otoo , thought to pass the bill would release tha bonds men and he objected on that ground. Mr. Mickey , of Polk , said'it would bo dangerous for the state to pass the bill at this time. It would release the bondsmen. Ha moved that the bill bo recommitted to the engrossing com mittee for amendment for the security of the state. Carried. Correll , of Thayer , called for the special order for 10:30 house roll 162 concerning woman snflrsgo. Mrs. D. 0. Brooks and Mrs. Dr. Dinsmore , of Omaha , and Mrs. Colby , of Beatrice , addressed the hoaoe as representatives of the Nebraska Woman's Suffrage association. Mny ladies were present during tha speeches - es , among whom I noticed Mrs. Gen eral Van Wyck , of Nebraska City. Mr. Cane , of Clay , oJTered the fol lowing resolution : WHEREAS , There are but few more working days in this cession , and WHEUEAS , Do bill for railroad legis lation can become a law without It ia immediately considered , now , there fore be it Itcsolttd , That it is the sense of th'a ' house that the Immediate consid eration of bills on general Clu relative to rates , tariffs and discriminations cf railroads is material end necessary , aud to that end all finch bills shall be raido a special order for 7:30 o'clock this p. m. , February 18th. Mr. Broatch , of Douglas , cmondod tojstriko out all after the word "gon- er l nie. " Mr. Jackson , of Douglas , moved for a roceis nntil 2 p. ra : Loat. Mr. Hollraanof Dakota , had one ob jection co the resolution. The rail road committee had a bill which they wished'to consider this evening. Ho had no other objection. Mr. Case , of Clay , wanted to ask the gentleman what good it would dote to consider railroad bills in committee at this stage of the session. "You might as well consider the eruptions of Jit Vesuvius. " Mr. Moore , of York , said this rail road legislation was just as important as BDJ. There seemed to be an ele ment in the honso that w&s "determ ined to put this railroad legislation beyond our power. " He was in favor of the resolution. Any member upon the floor of the house knows that con sideration of this question was going to call up discussion. Every man who rotea againt this resolution will ba considered by his constituents ss at tempting to dcdgo this issue. The ayes and naya being called , Mr. Case's resolution wis passed by a'vote of 47 to 3L In the afternoon Mr. Broatch , of Douglas , reported homo roll No.251 _ , ( the revised charter of Omaha ) with out recommendation , and moved that it be ordered engrossed for third read ing. Carried. The special order for three o'clock was called , it being Jackson's high li cense bill. The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole , Mr. Daley , of Red Willow , taking the chair. chair.Mr. Mr. Jackson's high license bill w&s considered again , but finally dropped , that Mr. Slocumb'sjbill ( a similar one ) "might receive consideration. The speakers all agreed on a $1000 license for cities of the first-etas , but could not agree pn the amount of license for incorporated towns and villages. On motion , the committee was In structed to report Slocumb's bl'l ' back to the honso with the recommendation that It pace. Mr. Ilaneom , of Otoe , moved that the report of the committee bo dofot- red until to-morrovr morning. Car ried. ried.The The boose thea adjourned to meet at 7:30 : p. m. for the consideration of railroad bills on the general file. Ii is'quite ce DO rally conceded that Mr. Jackson's high license bill is dead. The filllbustorlng on the liquor ques tion during the poet few days has pret ty clesrly shown that the supporters of the prohibitory amendment are afraid to allow the high license bill to pasj. They assort that but one of the two can pass the house , end they pro- far prohibition. They believe one of the wrongs of the present system-is tha discrimina tion by secret rates and contracts and rebates in favor of one individual as against another. On the theory that railrosds'aro public highways , thia cannot bo justi fied In law or equity. Akin lo the same , is the abuse of charging in some Instances for a shorter distance a larg er sum than for a logger h&ui. An other wrong ia pooling business and rocaipts , thereby preventing what might bo a liberal competition. TheboncSta which may accrno to this atato by compotiton and cdt-rates from the Missouri river east are some times lost to our people when the r , ads hero increase the local rates. To remedy that , we have recommended that no higher rates can be charged ihanivere pror&iling January 1 , 1881. An such rates were established by the roads themselves , it can bo no hard ship to say they shall not ba increased. .Wo have not considered any bill oa the mattar of passenger ratca , as there is already ono before-the senate. The matter most easy of solution , and the ono exorcising publb atten tion , ia that of taxation. The ad ministration of the proannt law re mits substantially In allowing corpo rations ) to list and value their own property while the /ra ic/iwe , the most valuable part of their property , has entirely escaped taxation. The atato board of equalization sei-m to hava overlooked the plain pro vision of the constitution , which ia as lollows : "So that every person or corporation shall pay a tax iu proportion tion to the volao of hi * , her or its property and franchises , the value to bo ascertained in such manner as the legislature shall direct. " The state board have also neglected to assess and tax the franchises of other corporations. The managers of roads in ths state claim that in former years their roads ( in fact , built by donations of land , government credit , county and town bonds ) did net pay dividends , but now are paying ten. per cant , aud stock at one time worth 30 cents en a dollar is now sailing for § 1.70. Certainly , then the property has be come more valuable In the market , ja t &a prairie landsbocomo valuable by developing farms and building towna and cities. Railroads whoso Block represents double and treble its cost , and carries in bonds a valuj more than its coat , must necessarily have a valua greater than its real cost , aud wo have in one bill a section that ono of the evidences of the value of property and franchise of a corporation is the price ia the market of the stock representing such property aud franchise. Having established tKo valaa of Iho property and franchise , then asses ? it at its proportionate valuation BB ether property. " To aid in executing the law as to valuation and equalization of the values in different sections uf the state , wo have recommended the en larging of the board by providing for the election of "Judicial district tax commissioners" in each judicial dis trict , but as they cannot enter upon their dntioa until January , 18S2 , wo have further recommended the ap pointment of a committee from both houses to act with and become part of aaid bo rd until January , 1882. A bill has already passed the conuto restoring the property of corporations to local taxation. We believe the proposed measures are just to corporations , and give to the people some -protection "for the matters of which they comolaln , and equalize valuation BO that all property may share equally the burdens. Thia afternoon , iho billn prepared by this committee wore discussed in committee of the whole and recom mended for passage with little change except that the board'of district tax commissioners , inatoad of forming a part of the board of equalization , are now to bo merely au advisory board to act aa attorneys in representing the interests of the po plo before the board of equalization. Theao men are to receive 85 a day and 4 cents a miio for travel , and they shall not accept patsos. The discussion of thcso bills brought cut the same old cry from Gere end Myers that the railroads have msdo us what wo are , and wo must not kill the goosa that in laying BO many golden egg * . Van Wyck disposed of them in tae usual way. Senator Myera' bill to prohibit the use of paso3 will coir.o up to-morrow. The old gentleman introduced thia bill for buncombe , had it referred to hie own committee , reported that it should not pass , and supposed that was the end of It ; but the minority of the committee fished it o'at , made a report , and it will probably pass the senate , and may become a law. 3Iost of the forenoon ras taken up by the medical bill , which was finally passed. The substance of the bill , as amended , ig to keep out traveling pat- oat medicine peddlers , and to permit no 0110 to practice .medicine unleaiho has a diploma from a creditable med ical institution ; or has attended one foil cocraD of lectures , and has prac ticed two yrara ; or' hca practiced twelve years , two of which must have baon In this stato. The senate pcscd the bill to in crease the jurisdiction of justices of the peace to $200 in cases of trespass on real estate.

A dispatch from Stockholm reports that a serious political crlaia occurred in the Swedish parliament on tbo 2d. In the chamber anti-monarch ? and republican - publican views have for sorao time been powerful. The chamber * consists of 204 members , and is decidedly democratic.

Oliver to a cabinet position. Garfield told him Ihit he could do nothing for the Keystone otnto as loner &a her people were unable to choose a saaator.- The preaident-eloct eaid that it was a mistake to try to float anything lees thnn a 3 par cent , bond , and that , in his opinion , the democrats in congress urged the passage of the refunding bill simply to embarrass the republi cans and the Incoming adminletrtlon. It can bo ntatcd on excellent author ity that no decision regarding the next secretary of tha treasury has been made by Gatfiuld , * Conkllng'a visit to Mentor did not settle any ono cabinet position , but it did seltla the question of harmony between the "Now York republicans and the now administration.

COKPORATE PAUPERS. The Eailroada Eepresentejl as Poor as a Chicago Sufferer. Kyners' Pathetic Plea for the Pennyless Corpora tions. A Powerful Appeal for a Lucra tive "Sit. " to Tha Kr > 3. LINCOLN , Nob. , February 19 12 m. There was little interest manifested on the railroad discussion ia the house last night. Kynor wore him self out-In trying to show that every road in the date waa about bankrupt and only oxlatod for the building up of the country they penetrated. Ho had the figures given him by these roads to substantiate hia position. If thia legislature pass laws against rail road discrimination the state waa ir retrievably lost. Ho referred partic ularly to the Omaha and Northwest- era railroad , saying that it was owned ! almost solely by eastern capitalists j who had invested in tbo enterprise at ! a time when the future of the state i had a brighter future than now , and { when anti-monopoly fanatics had not I disturbed the peace"of self-sacrificing and inoffensive railroads. Ho said that the Sioax City taad Pacific had told him | that they were in tha same pro- dlcamont. Ho forgot to menticn , i though , that every county tnrough which the formsr road runs voted § 100,000 In bonds for Ita construction and Mr. Gannett , of the D. P. , had furnished him figurea to show that the profits of the Union Pacific on the entire - tire in vestment were but five and BOV- en-tenths perjcont. If it were not for t'uo transcontinental trade the road would loeo money in this state. Mr. Whedon , of Lancaster , wanted him to explain , la viewjof thojo osaar- tions , why It was that the U. P. stock Is quoted at § 1.2S. Mr. Kynor could not explain. He had not looked into the matter very much ; and of coursoiho houao had. to laugh & little at this. Mr. Case , of Clay , who made An ad mirable expose of the crooked trans actions of Nebraska roads , said ICyner used good judgment in choosing the railroads as a sourca of Information on the subject. "If I were to steal a man's horse , would I turn around and tell him of ill" Moore , of York , mode aomo telling remarks and quoted the language of Conkling and Sherman in a report of their investigation of the true inwardness - ness of the trunk lines between New York and Chicago. The bill under dlBcusnion . was Jonsou'a , which THE BEE published Triday. ? The meeting adjourned be fore Iho first section had "been fully considered. No ono can watch the honso during the debates on the railroad question without discerning a quiet deslra on the cart of o majority of the members to evade the iaauo. The true issso is that of discrimination , as every ono knows , but the schomcra prefer to dia- cuaa other phases of the question , and will cot entertain the real proposition for & moment. SATURDAY MOKNIKG. Nothing waa done Saturday but to IhroTT a dozen or moro bills into the ongrooaing committee preparatory to third reading. Mr. Mickey , of Polk , offered a resolution elution inatructirti the coaimittsa on printing to make a further Investiga tion of certain printing contracts , which was adopted. The joint committee of five , ap pointed by the speaker , reported that they had decided on Saturday , Febru ary 26 , at 7:30 : p. m. for adjournment sint die. The report ws not adopted , and I learn is not likely to bo in either house. The home and senate adjourned from 12 o'clock to Monday at 3 p. m. J. B. H. . SENATE FRIDAY. The sonata special committee , ap pointed to prepare bills to prevent discriminations of frulght rotes and to provide for assessment and taxation of railroad property , presented the following so the HEPOET OF THE SENATE SPECIAL RAILROAD - ROAD COMMITTEE. The highest tribunal cf the country , the sppromu court of the United States , haa decided that the people , through their legislature , can regu Into and control corporations. The constitution of the atata hs an thorized , nnd ia some ina'ances dl iccted the oxercisd of that power in the. cceo of express , holograph and rail- rpaa companies , and to provide penal ties even to the "forfeiture cf their property acd franchisor.1 Tin principal objection to the er- erciae of thia poirer is that capital is timid aud will bo forced from the oiato ; but did the strong provision re ferred to iu the constitution of 1875" have that effect ? When the bill was Introduced two years sjjo to reduce interest from 12 10 per cent , the spirit of the same argument found expression In the as sertion that capital would ba driven from tha etote , and that it would cease to flow within our borders. The bill becjme a law and capital Instead of flowing ont , ibwed In , and was abundant i the reduced rate. Capital m&y bo timid , but it will re- ipect the spirltof jus'Ica and fair play. The attempt to Btigm.-iiiz j this exer- cao of power by the people aa hostile and unfrien-'lly , ii aa untruthful as It la unjust. The fact that rti'rosd ' man agers at this late day claim that their self -regulate J charges in this atato are less than the rates fixed in iljo "Gran ger states , " and that they would make nioro .money and larger dividends If the logialaluro thould impose ra.tes , la conclusive evidence that the railroad - road , ? have nowhere encountered un friendly or hostile legislation. Be sides , tha continual growing in power and wealth of these corporations lii what are known as the "Granger states , " showa conclusively that even there the people are disposed to fos ter rather than antagonize such inter- cats. cats.In In the face ot the facfc that ia the states where the ceoplo have exercised ' cised their power , 'railroad prosperity his not beeu Injured or railroad build ing retarded , shows how unjust the bitter denunciation and , ridicule heaped npon thorn.
