The Closing Day In the Senate
Correspondence cf THE BIK.
LINCOLN , ZTebrnary 27 , 1883. The
mountain labored and brought forth a
mouse. The legislature which cloned its
session at lialf past oa < ) this morning
will bo remembered chiefly for what
It has not dono. Born amlist the ex-
citetnont of a papular revolt against
corporate extortion f.nd tyranny , this
legislature entered upon its active
"duties full cf high sounding promlaes.
Its career closed with every promise
broken and every vestige of ntlf-ro-
apoot loat.
When this legislature mot it ap
peared to be ao intelligent , well-be
haved and honestly disposed body.
Within less than seven weeks it had
degenerated into a howling mob.
Men who came down hero with the
very best of intentions have fallen
prey to the tempter , betrayed , popular
confidence and destroyed & reputation
that it has taken years of toil to build
np. Others Iwvo only dropped the
mask. These wolves in sheep's cloth
ing -have boon imposing on popular
ccnfidenco by shamming antimonopoly
nopoly to make their election Bare.
Bafore this legislature organized nearly
every member proclaimed1 himtiolf a
ntauuch anti-monopolist. 1'jua woa
J V 'notably true of Speaker Humphrey ,
who mada the most "rattling1 antimonopoly
nopoly speech In the republican caucus
lAat Saturday this blatant reprobate
'made another speech in a republican
-ir-yi. i conference on railroad legislation and
declared himself an opposed to all rail
> R. road regulation , If the republicans oi
jfrSi ' this State meet with dlatster in the
fr next campaign they can lay their do *
V" feat at the door of Humphrey.
, , But this brazen tool of the monopo
* lies la not alone to blame for the
K. . wretched record made by this legisla
ture. From the outset the corrupt
elements of all parties have been .in'
tent only on plunder and jobbery ,
and their greed has had nnbridlec
way , *
It was * the policy of the rallroac
lobby to encourage and aid ever ]
bogus claim , every rotten job and
every scheme for local appropriations.
For these shameless raids upon tb <
treasury the capltol appropriation af
forded the nucleus. Once withh
these serpentine coils of greed , mei
became the willing accomplices o
highwaymen and burglars.
The noonday robbery of the ' atatt
treasury was only made possible bj
the collusion between theoapitollobb ;
and the railroad lobby , And the las
day of the session with its rush o
business , hurried conferences and general
oral disorder afforded the desired op
portuolly for the perpetration of in
famlea which would shame a hora
thief o > a pickpocket. Establlshei
usage , printed rules. and even statu
tary law wore trampled under foot b ;
presiding ofllcors in both houses. Ap
proprlations wore recklessly voted con
trary to all precedentnnd every claii
and job was put through in total die
regard of common decency. The at
joot degradation to which the jobbei
were reduced was forcibly illustrate
by an incident that occurred yeatei
day afternoon In the senate chambei
A bill in which Lancaster -jobbei
were interested was put on its pauag
and lacked just one vote to make i
a law. "Call Oanfield in , " s oute
Brown , of Lancaster , to Tom Kou
nard. Presently Senator Oanfield a ]
peared. "How shall I vote ? " ei
claimed the contused statesman froi
Douglaa. "Voto aye , " shouted Brow
within everybody's hearing. "I vol
yea , " shouted Oanfield , amidst HI
roarloua hilarity. "Who is this ma
Oanfield ! " whispered a bystander , i
an undertone. "Why , ho la the tl
can tied to the tall of that big Linca
ter canine , "
1C there was anybody in that aenai
moro .slavish to the monopolies ar
jobbers than Oanfield , it was the pro
Ident of that august body , Lientonai
Governor Ageo. As Incompetent :
ho is insignificant , this man of stra
with mush in his mouth has dlsgusti
friend and foe alike by his wretohi
pronunciation and arbitrary ruling
But ho made himself immense
useful in the closing hours by c
podlting business in a way th
would have made a Nubian bins
Oarna was a bold bad man , but tl
fellow ii a cross between a magpie ai
an Idiot. At no time was there a bi
ter opportunity for the passage ef
wholesome railroad law than on t
closing day of the neulon , The ca ]
tel lobby wore intensely agitated o\
th pcwlblt rejection of the sem
amendments to the oapitol bill by the
bouse and it was within the power of
ho few honest republicans in both
housja , who favored railway regula
tion , to compel the passage of a rail
road bill before the cmtiltol bill was
pasted. But Jthe capltol - appropriation
tion was allowed , ropassed the house
and when the railroad bills came np
they wore slaughtered. At the laat
moment , when , the clock had almost
struck twelve , the house went through
the farce of adopting the report of the
conference committee , which recom
mended a roconstrnotod bill that had
not the remotest chance of passing ,

WHEREAS , There is yet a poaalblllt ;
11 that by thla legislature remaining i
session for a few days BOUIB laws ma
bo enacted that will in part meet th '
demands of the peopla who Im'o em.
us here , therefore I move that tli
resolution heretofore adopted ty tli
senate to adjourn , be now recur
aldered in order that the people of thi
f | state may receive some of the relit
they have a right tojezpoct at on
hande , and whose servants we aro.
Fending consideration of this mi
tlon , the senate adjourned until 1:3
11 p. m.
f | In the afternoon Reynolds' molio
made just before recess wao called n
and was lost. " "
AND NONE WERE SAVED.
It is very apparent from the action
of this body to-day , the last honra c
the session , that our system of makin
laws is by no moans perfect. Eve
slnco the state had an existence tt
thlovoa that hang around the state fc
the two years previous to each Boislo
of the legislature and wear their sun
mor clothes all winter , gather in th :
city for the purpose of worklt
through some imaginary claim ; the
underataudthe ground , for they ha\
boon over it 'year after year and the
hardly over fail , and let it bo recorde
now that not a single claim out of tb
many scores that were presented (
the senate of Nebraska for their a ]
proval , failed to pass.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
The house railroad bill , slight
amended , came up In the shape ol :
ly conference committee bill and after 1
xat warm discussion was laid upon t
at table.
h.ds Brown of Olay thought that a lit
ds was better than nothing , and favoi
ad the passage of the bill as reported
it- the committee of conference ,
ithe Harrison o'f Hall said that he sai
he political fix-up between the domoor
pi- and antl-moncpi. *
rer Senator * Dech , Reynolds , MeSha
ite Brown of DovflM , mad Oonaoir ,
that the senate had sent a good bill to
the house and no action had been
taken upon It , and they wore willing
to stand or fall by the record they had
made on that bllL.
A .resolution presenting chain to
Lieut. GOT. Aggie and President pro
tern Connor , wore pasied without a
dissenting voto.
The appropriation bills falling to
pass the house with the senate amend-
mcnta , a conference committee , con *
aistlng of Butler , Hoist and Oasc , was
appointed , and when they reported it
was found that they had
RAISED THE SALARIES
of nearly all the clerks , and that the
same had boon done contrary to tbo
constitution of the state , lu as much
as the amendments' had not been
printed. Senator MoShano in voting
"No , " explained his vote &s follows :
"I protest against the adoption of
the report of the committee on cons
foronoe , to whom was referred House
Roll 204 , for the reason that the
amendments made by said committee
in lines 28 , 20 , 30,31 , 34 and 40 wore
never printed , consequently were
made in direct violation of section 11 ,
article 3 of the constitution of the
state of Nobraaka , which provides that
every bill and all ita amendments
thereto shall bo printed. "
