THE signing of a treaty between Russia aid China , which forever set tles the Kuldja question , is causing some anxiety in England. Fears are entertained by the cabinet that , Rus sia being now free from all eastern complications , may turn her undivided Attention towards India , IF the present legislature has ac complished little in the all-absorbing question of railroad legislation , they have at least brought the matter prominently before the people and f jrced the railroad tools and cappers to place themselves on record. Such man have served their last term ! in any Nebraska legislature. J. W. ROBBINS , western editor of The Inter-Ocean , is bound to elect some governor to the United States senate. Having failed with Nance , of Nebraska , he has turned his atten tion to Gear , of Iowa. [ Republican. Why Is this thus ? Has the grinder of the Union Pacific organ fallen out with the sole and only proprietor of the Jnicr-Occau wash-stand , located in the Republican office ? Two such political prophets should be the warm est of friends. THE Journal of Applied Science his published some interesting statis tics of the manufacture and consump tion of beer in the old world. Great Britain leads all other nations in an- nuU consumption , being credited with 1,050,000,000 gallons , -while Germany follows closely with 900- 000,000. Austria brews 270,000,000 annually , Belgium 180,000,000 and France 150,000,000. Norway Is the lowest on the list , being credited with only 16,500,000 gallons , a consump tion of eight gallons a year per head. THAT soulless renegade , Church Howe , has at last shown his hand as s political prostitute and railroad cap per. From the moment of his elec tion he has been harletting with the monopoly attorneys and laying his plans with them to defeat any legisla tion upon the railroad question , by f oxlly turning up the prohibition cs.rd at trump. * What does the renegade rascal who has sold out every interest with which he has been connected , care about pro hibition 1 From the moment when he forced thh issue into the house THE BEE has warned the legislature of his true intentions and the 'result hss proved tbe truth of our statements. Church Ho wo Is tbe most dangerous man in Nebraska politics. He Is a political Judas who has sold his con ici victions and violated his pledges in ( i 8 , every great issue since his entrance in Fi the political arena. He is a man Fia without conscience , without remorse , at whose only god is railroad mammon stw and whoo only object is his own in political advancement on the shoul inTJ ders of the monopolies. ir ] THE CLOSE OF CONGRESS. A few more days and the forty- sixth congress will finish its eeasion. It has been chiefly remarkable as the first congress since the days cf Bu chanan , which haa been wholly under the control of the democratic party. It came into existeuco with the most profuse promises , it dies with ninety- nine per cent of those promises unful filled , leaving behind it not one soli tary act exhibiting statesmanship or the slightest appreciation of the needs which it wai called upon to supply. No congress since 1859 has proved itielf so wholly incapable and worth less as Ufa present. Its first season was spent in combatting the use of a paltry number of Federal troops at the polls and the use o ! United States deputy marshals in enforcing - forcing the national election IIWB. Eighteen months ot valuable time was frittered away in investigations which failed to investigate , and in empty resolutions intended ior capital in the succeeding presidential campaign. Days and weeks were exhausted in buncombe speeches and party legii- ation , and the closing cession has tailed to relieve the groaning calendar of measures most Important for the preservation of the national welfare and the malntainance of the national * government. The tariff remains untouched , the appropriation bllh are still in the committee rooms , tbe Kesgan bill , the apportionment bill , the funding bill are still inoperative. In shoit , | the work cf the presort congress may be summed upin the phrase , "They have left undone those things which they ought to have done , and have done those things which they ought not to tove done , and there is no health in them. " Even the southern democracy is rising in indignation over the spectacle which their nerthern allies have made of themselves end the Now Orleans Times pertinently asks. "What haa the democratic party done to claim al legiance from thinking eouthcrners. " The fact has become clear that democratic statesmanship is a thing of the past. The political leaders of the party to-day are men without fixed principles or else unable to exercise any Influence through their principles upon the party at large. This they have shown In the congress now draw ing to its close which will go down to history as the most useless , incapable and partisan collection of the people's representative which baa ever gather ed in the national capital. SOME two weeks ago the Boston Post made the remark that "Private Dalzell differs from mud in reap ect thst Jmad dries up sometimes. " This resembles in a startling manner the original paragraph In the Republican a few days since in reference to Sena tor Howe. Great minds sometimes run iii gtho same channel , two weeks apart.

Special Correspondence to Tun BIB. LIXCOLN , February 24. In the or der of bills on third reading this after noon Hollman's railroad bill No. 225 , came up. This bill provides for the establishment of maximum rates of charges for the transportation of freight and passengers on the different railroads in the state. It provides for the appointment of a railroad commis sion to report npon the earnings of these roads , the rates to be fixed ac cording to the rarninga. Mr. Brown , of Boone , objected to tbe passage of any bill that had not boon read before the house. The 4th section of this bill provided that each commissioner should receive § 3000 par annum , with a secretary at $1100. The commission would not only crip ple railroad extension in the state , but would put a heavier burden npon the tax-payers of the state. Mr. Hollman , of Dakota , said the state was not asked to piy these sal aries. The railroads were required to pay them. Mr. Birtleth , of Douglas , was not in favor of any special law for or agatnst the railroads. Ho believed every man on the floor of the Louse hsd a solemn duty to perform in pass ing his judgment on every bill that comes befora him. That judgment : should be given without prejudice. He ventured to ssy that there were not five men in the home prepared to act intelligently on the bill. If they voted on it they stultified themrolves. He asked if tbe railrdads were not governed by the laira of trade , and if thny hadn't that right , as has an ? in * dividual. I desire to know what I am voting for. This method of pressing Important bills through this haute is extremely dangeron > , and if it were the last word I raid I would stand upon principle In this matter. Mr. Windham , of Cass , conld not see why the passage of this bill was demanded at this timo. It was a fact that the members did not understand what was embodied in it. Although a member of the committee to which it bad been referred he didn't under stand it. "Was it wise for this houao to veto upon any bill of fifteen or twenty pages without knowing its contents. "Do the people impose npon na the responsibility of voting upon bills without considering them. We cannot show its meaning without arguing it. " It has been charged that I am a railroad attorney. I am not a railroad attorney and never received a railroad pass from the road on which my town is locitod. I am hora to oppose any legislation that will oppress the pee ple. I cannot do my duty by voting on this bill without hearing it read. [ It is not right for any man to ta'ce his chances on any bill , whether it be against railroads or other-rise. I am In favor of the bill but cannot vote for t Itnntl it hai beoa read before this houso. Last session we voted upon bills that wo knew nothing abon/ , and E don't intend to do so again. Mr. Broatch , of Douglas , said there wers some provisions in the bill he couldjoot support. He referred to an article in The Chicago Timer , which the clerk read. It went to enow that the Illinois railroad commission was a failure. Mr. Moore , of York , said it was too late for the members to say thst they did not know the contents of tkese bills. In the beginning of the session the house was told to defer action on these bills that they might all bo con sidered together , and then at a late day ths committee had poured in a great armful of railroad bills npon the committee of the whole. "We want ed to consider this bill but you said it could not be considered separately. It was just as imporhnt as the legislation - tion we were engaged in. Whenever we urged the consideration of railroad bills you sought to avoid them. Yon would allow other bills ordered to third reading at any time , but when a railroad bill was moved to bo placed on third reading you called for a BUS- pension of the rales. A gentleman - : man who spoke before me opposed this bill because tbo feared the governor might appoint - point unscrupulous men on the com- mittee. This is a mere subterfuge , rhe members' of this house are block- < idine railroad legislation. I have lad members come tome and ehako lands and say , "We'll go as far as you a this matter of railroad legislation ; " aut whenever a bill came up they'd Become white around the mouth , and < iesejt me. When you come up here b md tell us that we &re forcing this alei eglalation upon you without consid- ei iration , if is the unkindest cut of all , eiai aiU ) ecms9 yon continually stood in the U ] ray of all legislation on this point. I bivi rant tbis house to understand that I vi , m as good a friend of the railrotds viU is any man here. I'grant that they U .re of great advantage to any state , frbi Ye are told that this bill might do a biT leal of harm. The greatest states-ran T f the nation tell ns that we must pat latt , check upon these greatcorporationa. ttb Mr. Bwtlett , ol Douglas : "Have ttpi ou road this bill ? " pi Moore "Does the gentleman moan pipi a infer that I am standing here in ad- pitl ccacy of a bill that I know nothing 01 * ' 01ol boutl" ol olai Bartlett "You c n construe my ai > y words as you please. " aiIi Mr. Daley , of Hed Willow , -said Iih bat the house had this morning h : assod houao roll 139 , which he Tfli iought would coyer a large part of flitl lie work to be required of the com- tl lisaion. 63 Mr. Howe , whom Mr. Kyner is 63p < leased to call "the broad-cloth tl ranger from Kemaha , " arose to re- tlpi lark that the railroad question is the pira lost importsmt one before the legls- ratb iture. He stood up to oppose the tl aBEage of this bill before it had been tly iscussed ; he was here to represent y < be people as well as the railroads , tl [ e was a friend of the people tlat rid a friend of the railroads , at 'heir interests are identical. I do atbi ot desire to say f one word that will eflect upon any member in taking tlhi hatever action he may tee fit on the hi him illroad question. Their constituents hihe ave sent them here with instructions he herij ) vote. And now , Mr. Speaker , let rij 9 ask the question , who calls for this ci gialation ? A few constituents and a in ! W gentlemen only come here and ingl ikforit. Are you qualified to deal ej ith a question of these men ? Don't * sa iu know that you are attsmpting to 1 lit manrga the greatest interest in this state ? Who is crying out against the railroads ? Who are Ihe men that are keeping up this cry ? What do we find upon" our desks every morning The Lincoln Globe and the OJIIHASBEB ! who are the men that support this bill ? Who are the men that edit these papers ! What did Mr. Rosewater lay before the railroad meeting in the senate chamber the other day. He charged that a rail road had refused to carry four packa ges of his newspaper over their road , and that a coal merchant up In Butler county had been abused. This is all. Now , where does this second cry come from ? From Eaton and Conley. What class of people do they represent ? You are told that you have obligations to meet , and that your constituents are demanding cer tain things of you.- Who is this man Eaton ? A man who once had charge of a government land office and was charged with stealing land from the poor settles. He was sent lor and app'eared at Washington , but through the efforts of Senator Paddock was spared from conviction. This is the man who is * crying out sgiinst the railroads. Another who keeps up a continual howl , Is an ex- railroad attorney of Baatrice. These are the men who go to the members and tell them of tha treat ment they will receive at the hands of their constituents If they do not vote against the railroads of the state. That Is the class _ of newspapers that are to-day urging this legislature tc cripple the railroads which are build ing us up. I say , in justice to tb < people , that no legislation is needed la the first piece we hav nothing to complain of. . ' represent the Fifth district , of Nema ha county. To-day the railroad com pany have hundreds of men theri waiting for the weather o break thai they may push their road through ti Bed Cloud , the home of my frlenc from Webster. Two years ago I tool the stand that this aUtu needed rail roads. I ask you , Why do you desin to interfere with these railroads whe they are building up your state ? Bnd that many miles of road have been built since the last legislature. I d < not doubt that there are instance ; irhere injustica has been done certain individualB by the railroads , but you nrill find that to ba the case in al kinds of business. I am in favor o ; ortain legislation , but am opposed t ? oing upon record on a bill so Import mt upon the word of some gentleman ; hat it'is a perfeltly harmless bill. If t is harmless we can't afford to spen ime on it. Mr. Hollman , of Dakota , interrupt ed the Epeakor to say that he had dis covered a provision in tha bill that rendered it unconstitutional , and he noved that it be recommitted. Mr. Ransom , of Oloe , asked where in w s the bill unconstitutional. Mr. Hollman : "It provides foi taxing the railroads to pay these com missioncrs , which I think is unconsti tntional. " The question to recommit to the general file was carried. The house adjourned to meet a 7:30 : p. m. TH JBSDAY NIGHT'S SESSION. During the night session Thursday , js'I telegraphed , Mr. Whedon , o Lancaster , moved the suspension o : hs rules for the consideration o. louse roll No. 121 , for this following reason : The constitution of this state lays that lawa must be pissed to pre sent nnjast discrimination. I claim hat this is just as binding as tha1 irovlsion which says that every bil. hall be read a third time and signed > y the speaker. I say that this pro- isiou which requires the legislature o pass lawa to prevent discrimination s as mandatory .as any part of the lonstitution of the state. The qnes- ion does not arlsa whether the rail- oads are practicing unjust discrimlna- ion. The constitution saya that we hall pass these laws and I say that re must come to the conclusion that vo must pass them. This bill does lot seek to regulate the rates- upon allroids any further than tbis ; it ) rovides that railroad companies ihall not charge a higher ate on freight than was iharged by railroads in the month of December , 1880 It provides that hey shall , after a certain time , file a itatement showing the items of charg- : s on freight. This statement shall ) e published five times a year. It lefines extortion and discrimination. Svery man shall bo charged the same , > e he rich or poor. The railroad iompanics , under this bill , cannot sharge more for a car from Omaha o Aahland than from Omaha to Lin- soln. The reason why this bill should : o considered now , Mr. Speaker , is ) ecanse the constitution of this state lays that we shall pass these laws ; bo- : ause , at the republican convention vhlch nominated the state ticket , we vent before the people on this issue md said we wanted their confidence. iVe have done moro than that. Early n this session my friend from York : ounty Introduced a resolution in this lOQsa declaring that it was he sense of this legislature , hat it was our duty to irevent extortion and unjust dls- ximination. This resolution was opicd from the constitution , and isarly every member voted aye on it f hen presented. Yet these gentlemen ote no to-night on the same quea- ion. The republican party has this irinciple in its platform. The peo- Ie have said that they muse have hese laws , and we should grant their emand ? . This bill only provides bat the railroads shall charge no lore than they have charged. It is rue that this session ia fast growing 3 a close. Unless we consider this ill to-night it cannot be considered t all. I say that when we have pass- 3 this resolution it becomes our duty s representatives of the etate to live p to that reselntion and consider this ill. If it is not a good bill we can ate it down. It is said that it is un- isa to legislate against railroads ; tat the effect will bo to drive capital om this state. This conclusion is ised npon a false argument , ho people demand these ws and they should have icm. There is no comparison otwcen a private corporation and a ablic carrier. This bill will not rovent the building of railroads in its state. I believe it to be a just 30. If it be not just , it is the duty f this house to consider it to-night , id if it is the decision- that it is not jnat law , I do not want it passed. ; is right t'-iat the poor man should ive the same rights as the rich man. ho majority cf the men on this aor are poor. How is it lat . the railroad corporations cist except by the permission of the jeple. The people consented for lorn to build their roads. If the jopla of the state are poor then the hilroadsget their rights to exist from IB poor people. If this be true , then IB poor man in this stale , the man ho does not ship but one car per jar , is entitled to the same rate as 10 man who ships ten cars per day. " Mr.'Howe roao to a point of oraer , id insisted on the regular order of isiness. Mr. Whedon , of Lancaster "I he ave that we have a regular order of isineas , and I believe that if any ember desires to make a motion he 3 has the right to do so , and also the ght to diacuss it ; and the house de- des whether > he shall procaed. I am order. When the poor peoplehave rea these corporations the right to Jst , the poor man is entitled 1o the me rate as the rich , man , and I be- ive that is why this provision was put in our constitution. I say that th record discloses the fact that WQ an in tavor of this legislation. This bll has n ver been considered in this house It was sent back here withou any recommendation -whatever. It i the fault of the members if this blk is not understood. When wo have done tbis wo have donoonr duty. " Mr. Howe , of Nemaha , protested , as a matter of course , and wanted house roll 85 taken up. The previous question was called finally , and by an aye and nay vote was defeated. Mr. Whedon then moved to have the bill put on third .reading , and called for the ayes and nays. In ex plaining hia vote he" said that he fa vored the consideration of the bill be cause it waa a question of vast im portance ; because 260,000 people had ratified a constitution which directed the passage of such laws , and because every member of the house had voted to flopport such a measure. He had only asked that the bill be considered for three-quarters of an hour. The motion that the bill be engrossed for third reading was carried. J. B. H. HONEY FOR THE LADIES.

A minister commenced his sermon by observing , "What ehadows we are ! " and then parsed as if to let the thought sink deeply into the minds of the congregation , whereupon two lean spinsters in the front pew guessed they didn't come there to be Insulted , and got up and strode indignantly out. They were watching the seagulls whirling in graceful circles above the waters of the bay , while the rays of the sinking sun covered the landscape with a flood of gold. Finally he turned to her , and in a volca trem bling with emotion , asked : "Darling , if we were seagulls , * would yon fly away with me and be at reel ? " To which she answered , with her gaze fixed on a far-off mass of castellated clouds : "No , Gaorge ; I'd let you fly away , and then I'd bavo all the rest I wanted here ? " RELIGIOUS.
