far from being cimplimentary to a great

introduced house roll ! i35 , a bill for "An
act to authorize the construction and

penal reformatory institutions and the

which was referred to the committee on
public lands snd buildings , the Hon. J.
B. Wright of the Lincoln rlnjr , chairman.
UOW CU.VNINOLY Ari'llOriUATE
that title sounds for common mortals ?
Yet ono may venture to eay after a cireful
reading of the sections of the bill ,
that ia auy ntato having any stitohood

could have bcon found loaded with cheek
enough to have dared hand such a mou
strous measure to the clerk of a house of

not content with the princely income a
lute legislature and a docile board have
[ ceded him until the year of graca 188' ) ,
> y which ho will up to that time have
trawn from the taxpayers the modest
um of $1,500,000 and the record will
ear the figures out has conceived the
doa that ho can monopolize the prison
jstem of Nebraska. And how nicely
nd fluently do the sections of his great
onceptions inn. The main idea ex-
roBBed throughout his bill for the un
listed and innocant legislator is thathe
ill erect reformatories , etc. , without
ny aid from the state , and consequently
ollovo the taxpayers from the maintain-
nco of the stito convicts.
TUB "JIOSS" GAME.
"Boas'1 Stout controls quarries at Lou-
iville. Unfortunately on top of the
nlquc lodge of stone there are strlpplogs
arying in thickness front 25 to 50 feet ,
'o ' wheel these striplings into the Flatto
Ivcr , bo found ho had to employ the la-
or of 200 froa men. Free labor costs
toncy , and the most of the money ho
rrcstj from the tUto treasury under the
revisions of his contract In actual force ,
as been dumped in the PI it to. The
Ituatlon must undergo a change. Hence
o gracefully requests the legislature ,

'Con" Buflington , to
"AUTIIOIU/.B" "uo > ! .s" STOUT
o erect and maintain at "his own cost"
no or more building to bo used as pennl
oformatoiioa , etc. And with the stroke
f the pen , and ni if by magic , the state
lanitactiary built by the state at a cost of
iOO.OOO 00 Is turned over to his own
rlvalo use , deeded to him n ? a matter of
act for all eternity , and fs treated ni "ono"
f the above , "his" penal reformatories
Vlth a faw secihns happily drafted , ho
uggesta that the manogemont ol "his"
nstitutions shall to under the control of

nd then as a return of his teeming kind
: onciilrn to the demands of thcso who
jolievo the state fully able to take care of
IB ccmidts , ho creates
A I'llOUl'ltATOK ,
whoso business "ho" makes to recruit
convicts , as h'.s ' feminine synonym is to
recruit materials for houses of ill-fame.
A happy creation of his ovcrwolghty and
mighty brains ! Ho clothes his procura
tor with tbo ( ole power of appointing the
superintendents of "his" houses
of correction , and as a cliris-
tlanllko surrender to the wrath
of an ollondcd people , ho provides that
the superintendent * "may also bu moved
at the pleasure of the governor. " But
there ho culls a halt. The governor Is
kindly given the privilege of removing a
saporinttndent appointed by the omni
potent procurator , but ho is denind i
voice iu the appointment ot neither i.f
them , nor has ho anything to do with tbo
appointment of the rncnr&tor , who is

THE STATE HAS NO CONTUOL.
It may bo that a luminous mind of the

WHAT TUB niorosnnitorsEs
of concBlion will amount to , Is anotbcr
question which will bear some investlgi-
tton. It will not do to impress upon ttio
nlnds of liglslators , that in pawing
"Bois" Stout's bill , they wi 1 raise fi 'tn
nothing , Institutions of the sort all over
slate. No , and for tha excellent raaion
that the state ponltenlhry U cnpadous
enough to hold 1,800 convIcU all tint
may bo sintonced wrlrn the coming
hirtyycita. The "Boss" knows that
better thin anjono olao but the unthink-
ng minds may not see that far. His
[ impose laid down in sounding welds ,
whin boiled do mi is merely as follows :
To use at the

THE flORDIAN KNOT.
But what will this llttlo ccbomo catt to
the taxpayers , ia what may bo of acme
interest to the people of the state gcner
ally. How mildly tha subject Is
broached in noction 10 of the bill : "The
compensation from the state , shall be
fixed by said contrast ; but the aamo shall
not fcr the first five years exceed 05 per
cent , of the per capita pr.d : by the state
for the past two yoara. "
A UETKOSrEUTlVE GLANCE
at the appropria'ini bill passed in 1383
will show that the average ccst to the
state under Stoui'd contract for the main
tenance of the pi hun ia forty-eight ctiita
per day and capita , or § 40 , IK ! 15 for
each of the years 1883 and 188-1. The
cost to the people , under Stout's now
bill , bis compensation for the first five
years will bo forly-fivo and ono-half
cents per day and capita ; for the follow
ing five years It will be forty-thrto and
two-thirds cents , and DO on until the 01-

A few figures on tbo above basis will be

number of piisoners at 1,000 , wo find
that the cost to the taxpayers for the

the cunning and cheek of this man
Stout and bis henchmen. It
la necessary In order to allay
the succuptiDi'ities of the batter p r-
tion of our law linkers , to shov them tbe
cost of maintaining the ponltantiary , to

pously "Con" Bullington introduced a
resolution Into the house1 , directing the
ettte auditor to furnish the required in-
fornutlcn. Back came the report that
the avcrrgo coat of the ton moiuhi pro

The "Bo.si'h" henchman did not wish
