following report , :
Bin. PHKSIUENTYour spoolal com-
wlttfo appointed to invcatlgeto charges
of uoglbot and cruelty < zeroised by the
superintendent hud cniploua ot the
Nebraska insane asylum towards pa
tients therein conQnod , have had the
anbjcot matter cf the resolution creat
ing said committee under considera
tion , and deairo to make the folio wit f
report :
The committee have examined fifty-
six witnesses , the testimony elicited
- extending ever a period of some four
" " "v years. The evidence of twenty-two
witnesses establishes many nets of
neglect , and In some instances great
and excessive cruelty , f xerclstd by the
attendants cf the usyinm , mostly
toward the male inmates therein con
fined , Those acts of cruelty , consist
ing of striking , kicking and choking
patients , have occurred at fnqumic
intervals throughout the management
of Dr. Matthuwaon. There u bat at
tic , if any. evidence tending to show
that Df. MatthewBon personally ku w
at tbo respective timi's theatt acto of
cruelty occurred that they did ouuir ,
or wcro oominittcd ay tbe lutendtmta
In charge of the p-ttieote , but the corn-
mltttto la of the opinion that undui
vlglhmt , liumnuo und proper manage-
moui ot thu asylum nuoh aoln cf cruel
ty couid not and should not have oc
curred nt all ,
The comrolttpo examined thirty-
1 fonr wUmuMcs for and on bohait i f
the superlntondunt of tuo mylum
Tbo witnesses thus exuuain'-d wore
very generally employes or pflicora of
the asylum or those who at some time
had been employed In , or in some way
connected with the asylum while un
der the management ot Dr. Matthew-
eon.
eon.These witnesses thna examined very
generally testified that the manage
ment of the affairs of the oaylum was
good , that few or no acts of neglect or
cruelty had come under the observa
tion of said witnesses , and that Dr.
; Matthewson was a vigilant and
humane officer ; but It will bo observed
from an inspection of the evidence
that most of the testimony related to
the management of the female wards
of the asylum and that it did not ma
terially contradict or impeach the
specific acts of neglect or cruelty on
" the part of Dr. Matthewson.
Tut- compiled statutes , suction 16 ,
page 301 , provide for a matron , who ,
' - under the direction of the superin
tendent and not otherwise , shall have
I * the general supervision of the domes
tic arrangements of the hospital and
* do wh. t she can to promote the com
fort and restoration of the Inrnaten.
: - The evidence disclosed the fact that
tor a long period the eervices of a mat
ron wcfo diepenaod with at tbe hos
pital. The committee Is of the opin
ion that K , matron la H necosary em
i ploye of the apylmu , and la eo con
il templated by the statute , and it IB the
' NLT further opinion of the committee that
T the anporintondonV. of two sjJuiu bus
no legal power whatever to diaponsu
with the services of a matron , and to
do so IB an usurpation of power not
warranted by the statute or the bout
interests of the asylum.
In view of the evidence adduced ,
the committee is of the opinion that
t the management of the asylnm by Dr.
MatthowBon has not been In accord
ance with law , or with the beat inter
ests of that unfortunate class of our
citizens for whose benefit the asylnm
was established ; and we are reluct
antly forced to the conclusion that a
change in the management of the asy
lnm would subserve the best interests
of tbo institution ; and we therefore
recommend that such change ba made
at r.n early a day ai practicable.
Your committee respectfully sug-
1 gest that the evidence taken in the
examination bo printed , or In the
event the senate do not concur in this
. view that then , and In that event , the
senate direct the attorney general to
take charge of the testimony and pre
serve the same in his office for future
, ' reference and consideration.
r ' Very respectfully submit ted ,
t A. H. CONNER , Chairman.
H. SnOENHElT.
"fa- , Mr. Rogers , from the same com
mlttee , submitted the following re
port :
MB. PRESIDENT I am unable t <
join with the majority of your com
mlttee appointed ta investigate certain
tain charges against the managemeni
of the state lunatic aaylnm , In theli
report to your body , for the reasoi
that I have been unable to attend a' '
several meetings of the committee
and since the Investigation has closoc
I have not had time to rovlow anc
properly examine tbo six hundrec
pages of evidence taken. As the leg
Mature may soon adjourn , 1 respect
fully ask that I be excused fron
further serving as member of salt
committee , and that the senate noi
take notion on this report.
Respectfully ,
JOSIAII ROQEBS.

TIIE HOUSE ,
LINCOLN , February 24. The houno
paaaod a number of blllo from the BOH-
nto to-day , the most important of
whloh arc : Harrison's joint rosolation
providing for the aabmltilon to oloa *
ton of an amendment to the constitu
tion ; Dye's bill requiring connty treas
urers to publish reports of financial
condition of counties ; Reynolds' me
morial to congress concerning tolls of
railroad bridges across the Missouri
rlvor.
Quito a atcrmy debate arose out of
the question of adjourntnont.
Palmer , of Saltno , moved an adjout-
mont till 7 o'clock p. in. Monday.
Hollman amended to make the hour
3 p. m. Both Wore voted down.
The following mosaago was received
from tbo senate :
WIIEKKAS , Railroad legislation Is
needed ; and , whereat ) , thi.ro doe not
seem time to act in the regular way ,
thoruforo bo It
RESOLVED , That this ounato appoint
a committee of conference of three on
.ho railroad bills now in this legisla
ture and request the honso to appoint
a like committee and the report of
fa'j'n committee shall take prccedonco
of all legislation except the regular
appropriation bllln and bo considered ,
immediately after being received ; and
have appointed ia auch oommitteo ,
Senators Brown of Olay , Sang and
Butior.
Cook , of Nuckolle , moved to concur
In the resolution of the aonato In re
gard to railroad legislation.
Hollmau moved to table the resolu
tion.
tion.Franao jumped up end moved to ad
journ till 11 o clock Monday.
Grout moved an amendment that
the hour to adjourn to bo 9:10. : Both
lost Franso hoped the resolution would
not carry. It would seem that in in
troducing this resolution nomobody had
found out something. It ought to
have boon introduced at the becin-
nlug It eosniod to him they had
apetit 40 day * in ust-lesi efforts to pet
railroad legislation. Some times the
republicans wanted railroad legislation
and Bomotlmon the antl-mouops warned
it and sometimes they did nut. There
> o rivalry between the anti monopa and
the republican and they will oppoEO
measurou introduced by the other eid .
Hu vaa afraid to fuataln the resolu
tion wonld keep them there for weeks.
McAllister was in favor of appoint
ing this committee and w.-u willing to
join handa with any party to got hon-
eat railroad legislation.
Cook , of Nockolls , WHO a Itttlo
amused at the sophistry cf the num
ber from Cumiags ( Frann ) , _ who
wiiihcd to make out tnure wua a war
between the anti-monopolists' and re
publican a. The real tronblo is that
the democrats have aproad out their
coata and have promised to take the
antis to glory on their coat tails.
True antl-monopa are willing to join
hands on this floor. Ho waa dis
gusted with the filllbnsterlng that had
been going on in the house.
Hollman did not accuse any partic
ular party of having neglected to dls-
charge its duty in regard to this ques
tion of railroad legislation , but he
waa remarkably pleased to hoar the
distinguished gentleman from Nuok-
oils talk BO affectionately of our anil-
monopoly friends. This waa the first
time ho had extended this hand of
affection for forty daya. Had ho done
this forty , or twenty or ten daya ago a
railroad bill might hayobson passed.
Now it waa too late and ho opposed
the adoption of the resolution.
Dodd voted "aye. " aa he waa ready
to do anything it he aaw the slightest
: hanoa of the people getting any
measure through that would relieve
them from the bnrdena under which
they groan.
Whedon hoped the resolution wonld
not prevail. There waa no harm in
having a conference , and ho hoped the
members wonld not bo misled by state
ments from the honorable member
rom Gaming ( Franao )
Jensen understood the motives the
I'ntlowan from Oumlng ( Franso ) ,
ad in opposing the resolution , He
iad made it his brag that he ia a rail-
'oad ' attorney , and aa the servant of
ho company that retains him , it It
noumbeut upon him to oppose all
nllroad legislation which ho thought
'n orons to railroad Interests.
Frauso pretended to be indignant
> t this charge and made a high Haiti-
in aort of n speech , llanoy waa satis-
"ed It waa taffy thrown out by the to-
nblican party , and ho opposed it.
After further discussion the reeolu-
ion was carried by a vote of 44 to 41 ,
Houae adjourned to 9:30 : Monday ,
The lObatlnaoy and ucner Pecullarl-
| ties of Queen Victoria
, ondon Letter.
The obstinacy of the queen la provoc
by the open , persistent favotltlan
shown to her "gllllo" or valet , Jobi
.Brown. Incomprehensible and mean
inglesa , It goads almost to madnes
her immediate entourage , and over ;
open or tacit opposition only cause
it to be more manifest. That prondes
of proud women has been made , by i
preconcerted plan , tb aee this eervan
of hen In the moat degraded state o
drunkenness , almost at her very foot
and yet , with an Infatuation strongo
even than femininity , her man
ner to him remained nn
changed , and ahe made no sign tha
could give a clew to her aecro
thoughts , Ladles in waiting of exalted
alted rank Have rebelled openl ;
against the breach of etiquette , hi
familiarity has craatod , and refused ti
be made a party to it , but , annbboi
by them , he waa only the moat gra
clonaly treated by his rpyal mistress
Ho follows her like n shadow fron
palace to palace , in public and in prl
vato , bahlnd her chair nt her moaU
In the rumble of her carriage in he
drives , bonding over to exchange
few wards with her , and c.ilinl ;
possessing himself of her field
gloss to Inspect some distant manouvr
at a review.
The Queen doca not slacken th
reins on her aons * nocks when the
marry ; she orders , directs , sways thei
at homo and abroad , and acorns n
minute detail , just aa she allows n
Impulse of Independence. At Potori
burg , during some fotea , the Prince c
Wales telegraphed to ask his mothc
whether he might attend the Ooui
ball on Sunday night. The answc
waa wired back , 'Decidedly no , " an
ho abstained. It was said , howove :
that he sonant more mysterious an
quite nnsabbathlcal compensations.
The Queen , faithful to her trad
lions of Interference , rules tlin twites
of all her other children to > li pres
ent day. She lent Ab.ngeldlo Ciuitlo
to the Ptlnoo of Wales aa a meet suit
able Scotch residence till ho found out
that the apartments were small and
uncomfortable , and he must relinquish
It for another Highland place : but the
discovery was provldcntltUlv not made
till the Prlnco hud spout 20,000 in
Improving the property. Olaromont ,
after her majesty's designs , has boon
redecorated for her last daughtor-ln-
law , and it is not unlikely that ohrlat-
nlng bells will soon ring out from there
a joyous chlmo. She has also sot apart
and superintended the arrangements of
a aulto of rooms , not by any means an
extensive one , for the Dukoand Dach-
ess of Albany , at Windsor Oaatle.
At Osborno and Balmoral the
queen la jealous almost to aolfishness
of the privacy of her grounds. Not
oven In her absence la an alien foot
permitted to tread the .snored pre
cincts ; severe rebuke from austere
gamekeepers overtakes the unwary
pedestrian who wanders oven in the
romotoat glades of the royal demesne.
No road crosses it , no rlpht of way is
conceded ; so imperious is her wish
for seclusion that in deference to hgr
openly-expressed desire no railway 11
constructed within hall of Balmoral.
When the ministers of state are
hastily summoned to council , after a
long and weary journey , they have
still a fatiguing drlvo to encounter be
fore reaching the royal presence. To
men no longer young , tried by severe
mental exertions and much business ,
this Is a aorioua drawback , but ono
which the queen never takes into
consideration.
Her majesty baa now loft this , her
favorite residence. She haa lingered
long enough to glvo a parting ball to
the tenants and gillies , and opened
for them the apartments closed to
other people. She haa taken the laat
of those matutinal walks , the weary
treadmill of the Prlncoaa Beatrice.
She haa bid adieu to the piper who ,
according to some , wakoa her up at 9
with his Inharmonious bagpipes , and ,
according to others , playa them under
her windows while she ia dressing.
She haa returned to Windsor after
ono of the journeys she ia so fond of
makine at night , surrounded with
mystery , wltti closed stations and
sightseers excluded.

ington's Birthday.
Although the past week ended up
with a gentle norther , accompanied by
a mixture of rainsnow and elect , which
wonld require a chemical analysis to
properly define , it wau on the whole a
great Improvement on Its predecessor ,
the week before. Last Sunday waa
pleasant , Monday clear , warm and
pleasant , Tnosday fair , Wednesday
cloudy , but not disagreeable , and oloar
at night. Thursday commenced the
preparations for the storm , whioh
finally act In Friday morning , and
la only now at the end of ita progress.
The alnah and mud is kuoo deep , and
reminds the people of the pro-autum
nal day , before a merciful providence
carpeted the streets with a soft anew
cover , when to bo stuck , like old
Burnsldo , waa one of the common In
cidents of Omaha life. How lonesome
the two squares of aaphallnm pave
ment pavement on Douglas street will
fool when they are excavated
after the storm and see the
mire all around and about them
The rainfall during the past two days
of the week , as measured in the
United States signal oitico , amounts
to over a quarter of an inch , whloh ia
scarcely enough to replenish the dry
cisterns for domestic purposes. How
ever , It IB abundant to keep the side
walks of the city in a state of slippery
smoothness , on which the pedes
trian can practice the in
vigorating art of balance skating ,
free of charge , with the full comple
ment of resulting falls , for the tem
perature ia kept so evenly around the
froexlng point that the film of ice
which forma every night haa very lit
tle chance to yield entirely to the
friendly influence of the sun's rays
Although the astronomical date for
the opening of spring does not arrive
until the 1st of March , It is generally
accepted that by the end of February
just at this tlrao , the winter is practic
ally over , and what a winter thla wasl
A rich harvest for all the coal and icemen
mon , to bo sure , but tn the average
mortal of other pornnaslous , how BO-
voro and terrible ! It is fortunate that
winter cornea only once each year and
such a ono aa the present but onoo in
a lifetime. The river is still frozen
solid , and while east and south of
hero destructive floods rage fiercely ,
Omaha ia aa yet exempt from this
fury.Lent
Lent does not scorn to bear heavily
on the penitent citizens of Omaha ,
judging from the numerous amuse-
mentaln full blast , unless the ha
bitues of the Academy of Music be
exempt from the rule. Two reverend
gentlemen , both learned in the wholly
writ , but divergent In their opinion
aa to its origin , have published to the
werld the result of their investiga
tions , whloh ia on the Presbyterian
Ido , that the book is inspired and
inbllmo ; and on the Unitarian side ,
hat it la sublime in many parts , but
if human creation , full of human
'alllngs and errors.
Washington's birthday passed by as
uaual , with Jlttlo demonstration. If
public celebration was taken as an
index of the veneration of great mon
