THE OARNS INVESTIGATION.
It is to bo presumed that the com-
mittco ot the senate appointed to investigate -
vestigato the corrupt practices of E.
0. Cams a purchasing agent of the
Union Pacific railroad mean business.
Their duty is plain and simple. It is
to probe to the bottom the charge
made in the llobborts nflidavit with
the solo object of getting at the bottom
tom facts , Mr. Ilobbort'e sworn
statement is short and explicit. II
charges the gravest ofTonao possible ol
commission under our laws by a mem
ber of a legislative body. That oflenso
is mode still tnoro outrageous by the
position hold by Mr. Cams aa ono ol
the executive officials of the atato and
as presiding officer of the senate ,
Acting on behalf of the people ol
Nebraska the committee of investiga
tion must perform Hicir duties in a
manner to create no suspicion of the
fairness of their intentions , or of the
impartiality of their judgment. On
, ho jfaco of tha ovidcnco the prool
against the lieutenant governor is presumptive
sumptivo of his guilt until clearly and
circumstantially disproved. That
iroof is made stronger by the remark
able admissions of the Thurston and
limball affidavits. It Is increased by
ho testimony of E. 0 , Cams former
> artnor. So far , the only evidence
n rebuttal is the denial of Cams him
self , and the very roundabout , hear
say ovidouco of the railroad officials
who openly confess that they con
Bulled as to the advisability of pur
chasing the vote of a member of the
egislaturo , and that the lieutenant
governor suggested to them the bar
gain and the prico.
It is hardly necessary to say that
ho final causes inducing the publica-
ion of Mr. Robborts * affidavit have
no bearing upon its truth or falsity.
[ "ho plain fact to bo determined is
what transactions between Cams and
ts author caused its original produc-
ion. That Mr. Cams and h.a ; partner
ell out in business , and that Mr.
loynold'a used the information in his
power as a club ever tha head of a
lishonost partner to indacu him to
quaro his accounts , is neither hero
nor there. Was that information
rue ? Is the llobborts affidavit a
statement of facts I Did E , 0. Cams
acting for the corporate mo
nopolies who filled Lincoln last
winter with their paid tools and cap-
icrs , offer a bribe > of $5,030 to cor
rupt the chairman of the committee
on railroads. These are the questions
or the senate committee to consider ,
and on their answer must depend the
oport of the committee. Finally ,
hero must bo no suspicion of a dostro
o whitewash a guilty officer. Ne-
> raska will suffer more from the es-
ape of a corrupt official from punish-
cent than by the conviction of a dia-
lonost lieutenant governor. And in
moling out the full penalty of the law
o a self convicted corruptionist , the
tuto will gain the well deserved credit
f a determination to purge itself of
ishonosty in high places , and of the
flighting political power of unscru-
mloua monopoly dictation.
MKAT dealers in the east predict
iat the prlco of beef is likely to touch

ho price of bcof is largely duo to the
isastrous winter of ' 80-81 ' , when so
nany thousands of cattle perished on
lie ranges. Short crops and high
trices for corn following caused loss
coding during the past fall and win-

POSTPONING business for more talk
a the rule of American congresses.
i'ho interminable debates go on while
ho appropriation bills linger in com-
uitteo rooms or lie untouched on the
calendar , Meantime the publio dor-
vice Buffers. The penny wise and
> ound foolish economy of the last
lemocratio congress left deficiencies
n several of the departments. The
taw York postoflico is suffering from
the failure of the present congress to
lass the deficiency appropriation ,
Many of the employes have resigned ,
no money being available to pay their
salaries , nome of which are a year in
arrear. The appropriation for heat
ing the building is exhausted and the
clerks uro burning gas for heat. The
United States courts have boon com
pelled to adjourn on account of the
cold , the elevators hive ceased run
ning and the publio u seriously iucon.
vonionced , Congress inoantimn delays -
lays action and continues ita debates.
IU members are apparently of the
opinion that the personal interests ol
congressmen anxious to have their
names in the Record are of moro im
portance than the transaction of nec
essary publio business or the welfare
of the Borvico. This was ono of the
most aorious charges brought against
the last congress and must not bo al
lowed to stand against ita republican
successor.
THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
With the usual delays , the inevita
ble amount of buncombe speeches and
the eamo old utory of filibustering and
caucusing on disputed measures
congress has still accomplished a largo
amount of satisfactory work. The
principal billa passed by both houses
are the apportionment bill , the anti-
polygamy bill , the anti-Ohincso bill ,
the tariff commission bill and aevoral
appropriation bills. Iho debate over
the tariff consumed six weeks of valu
able time , but it has cleared the air ,
by furnishing an unusually large
number of members with the needed
speech for their constituents.
A number of important measures
are still awaiting congressional action.
Among these am the electoral count
bill and Judge Davis * bill creating ti
count of appeals which have passed
the Bonato but not the house ; the
whisky bond bill , the Geneva award
bill and the Japanese indemnity bill
which have passed the house but not
the aonato ; the bill for the rebuilding
the Mississippi levies ; the hoaso bill
for extending the jurisdiction of the
court of claims with the view to do
away with the private bill nuisance ;
the bill repealing bank taxes ; the
Sherman three per cent , bond bill ;
the bill rechartoring the national
banks and a number of measures re
lating to the railroad question. Of
these the last three are the only ones
which are likely to procipato another
flood of debate.
The record ehowa thatjtho senate
a disposed of its business with moro
dispatch than the house. There are
comparatively few housa bills awaiting
the action of the senate while there
are 180 aonato bills on the speaker's
table. The unconsidered election
cases will cause a further loss of time
ia the house , and the bills proposing a
redaction of internal taxes , the McKinley -
Kinloy bill and Judge Kollcy'a tariff
aill are also likely to cause moro or
ess discusflion. Congress has ita
work , however , fairly under way ,
although the deficiency appropriation
jill ought to have secured ita passage
on ato.
IN response to the request of a sub-
icribor from Crete for the text of the
tariff commission bill , wo append it in
full :
Bo it enacted , etc. , That a commis-
lion is hereby created to bo called the
"Tarifl Commission , " to consist of
nine members.
SEC. 2. That the president of the
CTnitod States shall , by and with the
adyico and consent of the senate , ap
point nine commissioners from civil
ife , ono of whom , the first-named ,
shall bo president of the commission.
The commissioners shall receive as
compensation for their services each
it the rate of $10 a day when engaged
n active duty , and actual traveling
and other necessary expenses. The
commission shall have power to em
ploy u stenographer and a messenger ,
md the foregoing compensation and
oxpoiiBos shall bo audited and paid by
.ho secretary of the treasury out of
any moneys in the treasury not other
wise appropriated.
SEO. U. That it shall bo the duty of
said commission to take into consider
ation and to thoroughly investigate all
the viuioua questions rotating to the
agricultural commercial , mercantile ,
nanufacturing , mining and industrial
nterosts of the United States so far as
to same may bo necessary to the
establishment of a judicious tariff , era
a revision of the existing tariff upon a
icalo ot juatico to all interests ; and ,
for the pnrposo of fully examining the
matters which may come before it ,

ita inquiries , ia empowered to visit such
lifforont psrtions and eootionrof the
country aa it may doom advisable.
SEC. 4. That the commission ahsll

rosulta of its investigations and the
tostfmony taken in the course of thq
same not later than the first Monday
} f December , 1882 ; and it shall cause
\ho \ testimony taken to bo printed
From time to time and distributed to

The people cf Nebraska demand
from Iho legislature now in season a
vindication of itn own integrity. They
demand that the aonato shall inflict the
severest penalty under its authority
upon the presiding officer , who has
acted aa the paid tool and corrup
tionist of Iho corporations , violated
hii sacred trust and has used his high
office aa a moan ? for debauching the
sworn representatives of the people
of thia state. There must bo no eva
sion or shirking on the part of the
legislature. The house of represent
ativoa owes it to iUolf to purge itself
of a member who is proved to have
been a prime factor in this infamous
conspiracy against the people of Nebraska
braska , and who through his entire
political course has boon a consistent
capper of the corporations.
A BIT OF ADVICE.
With a Good Comparison as a Pre
liminary.
SBATIUCB , Nob. , May 1C.
To the Editor ol Tun Bui :
Well ! and as the wisdom of the
state has conglomerated and centered
for the time being at the capital , af
ter a few short weeks , anyone who reads
English , can BOO the results of the
special session parargraphod and
wheroases in a few amendments and
moro resolutions on the statute books
and congressional records. Meanwhile
while , wo of the common herd stretch
on tiptoe and crane our nocks and
open our mouths in wonder to know
what the solemn and dignified ( some
of thorn ) statesmen , -who assemble
daily at the new wing intend doing
and Baying to improve ( ? ) the condi
tion of our beloved state.
Wo don't want to ny much about
Beatrice this week , only that the weath
er ia frigid , decidedly BO , and some
people who have moved stoves that
warm day , wislu they had said stoves
up again and a good coal fire glowing
in the grate ; also that the cold snap
lias hindered the chinch bug , compar
atively harmless , but it also rots in
the ground the corn of the farmer and
materially diminishes the profits of
the sheepman by chilling the lifo out
of thofyouuglambkins ; the usual num
ber of church sociables have boon duly
noticed from the pulpit and
duly attended by everybody who
could or would attend. A cold water
army was recently organized among
the juveniles , and now its members
are industriously engaged ( solic
iting funds for the printing of tem-
pcranco tracts for gratuitous distribu
tion. Lastly , but not loastly , John
ilobinaon's mammoth show ia coming
, o Uko the town ; the bill boards are
covered with posters , the shops windows
dews are glued full of thorn , and the
; rio of newspapers brim ever with ad
vertisements to the exclusion of other
matter.
Aa wo said before , we don't want to
aay much about Beatrice , but wo do
want to say in regard to the Univer
sity muddle , though wo don't expect
to help the matter First , we want to
call the attention of the University to
tier moro unpretentious sister , the
Normal. Now , while wo don't Bay
that the members of the Normal fac
ulty agree on all points , they are com
paratively amiable and forebear ing on
the whole , and pull together in the
? oneral intoiosta of the institution ,
tlalf-past 8 a. m. of every school day
soca every teacher in the rostrum and
ivory pupil in his or her place assem
bled for the morning exercises , not
one absent without an excuse. An
other thing noticeable during the
three or four years the present priuci-
pel has had charge , no ono has over
bcon known , to spit on the floor of the
jiall or class-room in the Normal build
ing. Is not that saying a good deal in
tlun expectorating age ?
Aa for the uivorsity faculty , some
three or four are poacsablo and neu
tral , the remainder , a wrangling sot.
As for the infidels and the stoics , wo
mvo no use for- thorn ; every one
knowa that Hectarian influence is bet
ter than absolute atheism. And the
chancellor , bah I lot him go , the
luiekor the hotter. The idea of the
tend of a uchool for both sexes going
around giving lectures to the iffoct
.hut a woman may do just the amount
of work a m u does , but on general
principles take one-third the wages
tnd bo happy , If the regents are in
a dilemma , wo would advise to ujtpoin *
aa chancellor , ono of those old-time
eastern professors with enough polish
n his manners to awe o whole town
nto deference. Wisdom and justice
and harmony should and must reign.

WILLIE MAT11EWS , ESQ
To tha Editor Ol Tni till.
I see by The Neligh Advocate , o
recent date , that this half wlttec
scandal monger , in blowing his slim
horn for the pusillanimous , degradec
republican , independent , democrat
nothing Willie Matthews , of Th
O'Neill Frontier gives the latto
credit for being onu of the reliable re
publican papers on the Elkhorn Yal
ley. Lot us BOO how good n rcpubli
cm ho is. For two years ago ho lef
Wisconson , where ho was and ha <
been for some .timo publishing a
blatant democratic paper , leaving a
republican paper in Illinois , thus
early Bhowing his wont of principle
and stability likely because ho was
illy bred to know anything of roa
value in either party , or also for lack
of manhood , for it is a fact that this
same Matthews waa before coming t <
Nebraska a notorious saloonist anc
gambler , as scores of affidavits of the
best men of Wisconsin and Illinois
will show. A republican ( ? ) in Illi
nois , a democrat in Wisconsin , also i
candidate for the lower house of th
Wisconsin legislature and beaten
three to one ; and than less than two
years ago came to O'Neill ' City , Neb. ,
and started an independent paper ,
and finally called it republican ,
but before starting his paper won
into caucus with parties , anA agroot
that "if Garlield waa elected ThoFron-
tier would bo republican , but if Han
cock , then democratic. " Thus , again ,
his fickleness coming to the surface.
After our representative , Mr. Me-
Oluro , was duly elected to { ho state
legislature one year ago last fall , Th
Frontier haa loft nothing unturned to
oppose and belie Mr. McOluro with
hia paper and otherwise ; while Mr.
McCIuro is ono of the most reliable
and able men a thousand to ono
superior to Matthews in all that con1
Btitutos intellectual and moral man
hood.
Again. Last fall during and after
the senatorial contest in Now York
Matthews , in hia imbecile and dirt/
like way , did his utmost to vilify
Conkling , Grant and others of thai
fltamp ; ho kept up this fusilade from
early to la'.o , but when the selfish
fiend aces a small fish on his hook , he
drops all and veers round , and in ar
ticles in his paper tries to "taffy" the
very wing of the republican party thai
ho so shortly before condemned so bit
terly , ns files of hia paper will show.
Ever since ho came to Nobraoka ho
has trained with and has pretended
to bo a supporter of Uruco , Fry , etc. ,
the direct enemies of Congressman
Valentino , and at the same time
courting favors fiom the latter by
dishonesty and misrepresentation.
Again , your correspondent has often
hoard Matthews speaks highly of TUB
OMAHA BEE , and the early files of his
paper will show , this , too , but now
tip is bitter against it , thus she whip
him to bo utterly without a spark ol
manhood or principle. Ho would
deceive hia best friend , and Bell his
own brother into Egyptian , bondage ,
as did the brother of old.
For two or three months ho ha <
been saying nice little things of and
to the farmers of this part of Ne
braska. Vor what ? Fortunately raoal
all know and tho'rest will soon for
no good.
He has acknowledged to the publio
that ho is a tool for the republican
party , thus acknowledging that ho has
sold hia individuality nnd iudopen
dcnco. The republican party , now'
over , of this part of Nebtuska disown
lim. Ho has no claim to any party.
This man's debauchery , gambling ,
dishonesty , etc. , since ho came to
Nebraska haa boon , if poasibli ) , worse
than bofpro , of which at other times.
His "justice to all , " which ho has
ao blatantly published and circulated
over the country on largo posters
which are BO inconsistent and disgust
ng to the people , will bo taken up at
another timo.
Is thia the kind of republicanism
people call good ? the kind the party
ias fought its many brilliant and
orioua victories for why , such would
iiavo buried the party in oblivion long
ago. It is just auch aa he in any
rty that tends to weaken and finally
iestroya it. Mathewa boa played a
iwo-handod game over since ho came
: o Nebraska. In the language of the
Roman 'better be a dog and bay the
moon than such a Roman. '
The proof of the above ia forthcom
ng at any time 'and by the best and
most reliable.
Your correspondent haa been a con
stant republican ever ainco I860 and ia
prepared to prove it by the boat of
evidence. NEBUABKAK.

"WYOMING ,
Tlie Largest Steamer That Ever
. Sailed Up tliB Big Muddy.
She Will Depart for Port Benton -
ton This Morning.
The steamer Wyoming , which has
boon expected up from St. Louis for
several day * past , arrived about 7
o'clock last evening and tied up at the
foot of Douglaa street. She came up
to the Union Pacific bridge about
noon yesterday and the pilot steered
her in between the two piers on the
Iowa side , supposing the channel to
still bo there. There was not Water
enough to carry the boat through , and
in backing up to tackle the channel ,
again she run aground and did not got
off until about 4 o'clock.
The Wyoming is the largest steamer
that has ever gene up the river , being
tire hundred and sixty feet long ,
forty-five foot wide with five and ono-
half foot depth of hold. She has four
boilers and two engines , the latter
eighteen inches in diameter with a
two foot stroko. Her capacity is
15,000 tons 'and her cabin
capacity fifty passengers. The bo
was built in Pittsburg two years ago , $
and has since run between that city
and St. Louis. She is now on route
to Fort Benton and expects to return
about the 1st of August. The Wyom
ing does not belong to any ot the Up
per Missouri river lines , the Coulsons ,
who own and run her , being related
to Commodore Coulaon , but not con
nected with him in business. The trip
is purely experimental and the officers
are uncertain as to whether they will
make a contract with the government
for carrying freight or not. Among
the officers are :
W. W. Coulsou , master.
S. S. and M. M. Coulsou , clerks.
Capt. John Massip , pilot.
R. F. Talbot , engineer.
There are also about 'fifty dock
bands.
The Wyoming loft St. Louis May
4th and inado a remarkably fast run
until she reached Dellevuo , Monday
morning , when aho burned her boiler
and was laid up until 8 a. m. to-day ,
when aho came on toward Omaha
with the luck already related.
The steamer brought one hundred
kegs of soda for Steele & Johnson ,
and ono through passenger from St.
Louis for Omaha. From this point
she receives about fifty tons of miscel
laneous freight and about forty pas
sengers , all for the extreme upper
Missouri points. She had but ton
cabin passengers on her arrival and
ibout GOO tons of freight. She will
leave at 9 p. m. to-day and if no bad
luck oefalls will roach Sioux City
Saturday afternoon , and Fort Benton
about the first week in Juno , being
ible to make an average of seventy-
five miles per day.
The Wyoming is a pretty boot , and
lias a splendid wide cabin as white
tnd clean as a newly painted parlor.
The freight is stowed all over the V
joat , and consists of the uusual supk
dies. A crowd of several hundred '
met her on her arrival at this point , A
and gazed at her stately proportions (
until darkness came on and the jack
yas hung out and set a blazing. The
reight was loaded on during the
night so ns to lose no time , as the
steamers run only by daylight.
