NUMBEK 258 HOW CARVEY JOINED TIIElASG The Railroa-1 Lobby Easily Females Him to Betray Hie Trust , HE DESERTS OMAHA'S CHARTER. OII-Hooin AVork on tlic AVcakncsBCB ol Otticr Ijrji lator8 Tlic Scnnto ItH Stupendous Joke 011 the I'coplo , I'littlnc on tlio LINCOLN , Neb. , March 2.-Sp | < ctal Tele gram to the HII : : . ] The Omaha charter still engrosses much attention ot the Jcg-lslaturo and lobby. 1 1m reference of the bill , with the batch of amendments hatched out bv Mr. Itnssell and hlsbosom friend , Vandervoort , to the Doiulas dele-cation took the conspirators and plottuis by surprise , but they are at woik as hard as ever. This afternoon , while tlic Dduglas delegation were holding a eontei- t-nco with closed doors over the proposed amendments , Vandervoort was overheard to way that ho was bound to break up the dele gation. Ho claimed to have four of the mem bers foul and was goln , ' to put the screws to them now ut the Him ! onset. Iho four mem bers aie piesumably C.irvey , Knox , Young and Muttbleson , who arc all Union Pacllic employes. The pressure brought upon these men since the session commenced lo betiay their tiust would seem almost Inciedible. These men have been hounded by the company's strlkeis and drag.ed into the oil rooms by their cappers eveiv time thej came to the headquarters of the lobby. During the closing hours of the senatorial contest ono of the e members said to mo : " 1 wish to ( loci I had never come here. 1 would not advise any man emplojcd by the i all road company to taKe such a position. It is an awful thing to be compelled to choose between bread and butter for my family and my duty to the state. " 'Ibis man , who stood out bravely during the senatorial light , has since weakened ana become demorall/cd by his suiroundin s. Another man , Mr. Matthleson , who has withstood all the bulldozing and oll-ioom tulfy without lllnching , was given to under stand through one ot the cappers that his plico was not sure If ho kept up his stubborn opposition to tliu dictates of the lobby. The only man who has from the outset made himself a subservient tool of the coi- rupt gang that Infests the eapltol is Pat Gar- vey. This man's conduct alfords stiiKing proof that jou cannot refoim a natural born rogue. Last snrliii : , after CJarvey vv.is nomi nated by the democrats for the city council , a letter was received at the HKI : olllco Irom some unknown person In which the question was piopoundcd what sort ot tlmbei was being put up by the democrats for coiincilnien when one ol their candi dates was on record as having been years ago convicted of till tapping In a court. Tills Inquiry was inserted conti.uy to newspaper imge , which exacts w ith each communication the name of tlio writer. Tills departure was , howevei , taken because no name was given and no body expected the pirty referred to would bo foolish enough to put the shoo on. To my own surprise ( Jarney , wno was then unknown to mo , personally appeared at the editorial rooms ni'\t moi niiu' to remonstrate against any lurthei leteience. When asked what ho meant , he replied that thcaiticle in the pa pel about the till tapper referred to hlmselt. 1 exclaimed : "You are the biggest tool I evei saw to come hero and contess such a thlni : when no name had been mentioned and t did not know myself whom the writer alluded to. " Ciiirveythnn made a piteous plea to have the matter dropped. Ho said ho was a more lad ot sixteen when convicted ot the then. Hehad since refotmcd and become an up right man. I assured him that while he placed mo In an ovvk ward position by beg ging for silence , 1 would not press the chai go. although determined to beat him by the republican candidate. Carvey was beaten , sine enough , and his confession almost dropped out ot mv mind. When 1 learned that he was nominated by the domociats lor the legislature , and soon after placed on the labor ticket by the knights , while feeling almost conhdcnt that ho nould not bo elected , 1 hesitated to make nn exposure which might retlect on the Knights of Labor , tiarvey was , however , among the elect , but being pledged , as all the labor candidates wuro In our county , to sup port anti-monopoly principles and candi dates , ( iarvey was trusted with the rest. His conduct during the senatorial contest was , to use a very nil Id phrase , a betrayal of conlldenco under very suspicious ciicumstances. Ills conduct over since has been that of a reckless and pliant tool , who had a part to play , and was plajlng for nil there was In It. Although bound by his pledge to act In harmony with a majoilty of the delegation , Carvoy never kept faith for a moment. During one of his oil-room orgies 1 oveiheard him saying that ho did not mean to be bound by the pledge and was down hero only to do what the railroad com pany wanted. 1 asked him the next day vv hat he meant by mich a breach of his word , and he answered that he did not remember what he had said while under the intlueiico of liquor. talnco that time ho has done nothing but underhanded work against his colleagues and the charter. When Fuller \ \ as making his abusive speccli during the debate this morn ing , ( Jarvoy clapped his hands. On the vote to recommit thn chaitei to the Douglas dele- cation he was the only man In tint delega tion to vote with Kussell , Slater and com pany. No sooner had It boon re- fened than he said publicly that he Intended to inako a minority report. He attended the conference , took part in Its debttes , but before they were through walked out to report to Vandorvoort and Kussull. To-nluht lie has boon ritnnlnic up and down between the bar room und oil looms , holHiobblng with the plotters and schomoiswhoarotrying to defeat the charter. I have just learned that the minority re port gotten up by Yandervoort and Itnssell is a llxed fact , and poor ola Mr. Kuox , who Is an honest but easily duped man , has been In- dik'ud to join ( iarvey In signing this proclous document after he had bntin dosed with liq uor. It Is not yet decided whether the delegation will report to-morrow or next day , but the discord and division sought to bo created by the tricksters rnd shysters ot the lobby nny after all full Hit vvlion the re spectable , sober and decent members reallzu what means have been resorted to to brliu It about. _ K.

Mr. Colby Introduced two bills one fixing seveie penalties upon attemnts to rape or ad minister duns or murder ; the other , for an amendment to the state constitution by sub mission providing for live judges of the supreme court. Mr. Vanilemark Introduced a hill for an aimmdincnt to tlm state constitution by sub mission providing tor future amendments to the state constitution by vote ot the legHla- ture as H means of ratifying the voteot the people on said amendment. The senate went Into committee ot the whole , Mi. Majors In the chair , lie an nounced senate hie 41 as before the commit tee. tee.Mi. . Sterling rose to a point of ordci ; that this bill was recommitted jestuulny and should no to the fool of the tile. Mr. Colby held that It was made a special order , but adjournment cut elf discussion of it. It was therefoie tlm lirst bill to be con sidered. The committee had commenced to consider It jesterday. Mi. Durns had not hoard any such consid eration. There was nothing bclore the com mittee except the reenlar order. Mr. Colby stated he yesterday made a mo tion to strike out section 11. Mr. Uuras diil not remember it. The com mittee was out of order. Mi. Kent said the committee asked leave to sit again on that bill. Mr. bttiliiiL' thought not. The motion to nihe carried betoie action was taken on the motion to stiikc out section 11. The chair ( Majors ) was of the opinion thit senate Hie 41 was In order Hist , on the giound that the senate resolved It-ell Into commit tee of tlio whole for the put pose of consider ing it toi that specllic pmpuse. It was vir tually a special order. Mr. ColUj That being the ease , I now lenew my motion to icpoit the bill back with the recommendation that It be amended by strlkimr out section 11 ( which was in conlllct with piccedliu section. ) Thu motion cart led. Mr. Colby 1 now move that when this com mittee arise it iciiort this lull back with tec- omiuendatlon that It do pass as amended. Mi. Keckloy Ido hope the friends ot this measure w 111 take time to consider It. It may be necessary to amend It. 1 understood the gentleman fiom ( ingu to say last night that he had not read it. Mr. Colby 1 have read it since. Mr. Steifing I think the bill mk'ht be further amended by striMiiu' out all the bill after section 11. It has a leligions leatuio which someof the membeis objected to. The Lord's pia > er might as well be substituted to give the bill some tone. Mr. Colbj's motion then piov ailed , 17 to 7. Mr. Colby 1 move the committee do now arise. Mr. Steillng I hope this motion will not prevail. We went into committed ot the whole on this special older , and it is nothing more than right that we piocued to consider ation of bills on general file. Mr. Colby said the object of his motion was toiet the bill Into the hands ot theengioss- Inu committee , as It was veiy , very long and It would take a long time to engioss it. Mi. Keekley There is a good deal ol liasto in this matter. Now , 1 don't bee the object the gentlemen have to gain by rising (01 ( 'his special purpose. Let us go on and consider bills on general hie and not consume time unnecessarily. Mr. Colbj's motion pievalled. Mr Cnlliy nimud tint the luport of thecoill- mlttee be adopted. Mr. Steiling I desire to amend by offering the following. Air. Colbj I move the previous question. Mr. Casper I call tor the ayes and najs. Mr. Kuckloy 1 demand u call of the house , and move a call of the house. The motion was lost The motion for the previous question was then voted , pending which Mr. Sterling lose to a point ot oidei , which was that a member Ititioduclng a motion or amendment has the right to speak on thu subject. The chair ruled the point not well taken. The motion for tlio previous question pie- vailed IS lo I1.1. Mr. Kecklej Mr. President , Is it not a tact that three members can older a call of the house ? The ( Jh.ilr Not under our rules or In fact we have no rule on this point , lint the sen ate has hxed a meeedont in cases where a question Is pending befoie the house that no call can be made. The question then recurred on the amend ment ot the gentleman tiom Fillmore , which was read by the sect etary. It was Identical with house- roll lit' , which has been icconi- mended to pass in the house. Mi. Llnlnger moved that the senate ad journ , which was lost , Mr. Sterling's amendment was lost 17 to 1.1.

Fuller and Uobblns left their seats before their names weie called. What for'.1 Mr. Schinlnko had been excused jester- day. day.Mr. Mr. Duras moved that the senate adjourn for a week , the house concurring , in aider that the members might have tlmo to look alter their pi Iv ate affairs at home. The mo tion was snowed under , and the senate atraln went Into committee of the whole , and took nn senate Hie 8t , intioduced by Mi. Moore , whoaiguedtho bill at length. It provides that "any person or sub-contractor who shall perform any labor for any of the purposes mentioned in tlio lirst section of this act , for the contractor or any sub-contractor.w ho shall desire to secuio a Hen upon any ot the structutes mentioned In this section , may hie a sworn statement of the amount due him 01 them 1 1 oni such contiactoi or subcon tractor for such labor together with u de scription of the land upon vvhkh the same w as done , within sixtv days of the perform ing of such labor , with the county clerk of the county wheieliv said hind Is situated , and If the contractor does not pay such person 01 sub contractor for the same , such .sub-con tractor or pei son shall have a lien for the amount due lor such labor on Mich lot or lots and the Improvements then on , tiom the .same time and In the suuo manner as such original contractor , and the risk ot all pay ments made lo thu original contractor shall , as against an ) claim for labor be nuon the owner until the expiration ot the sixty dn > s hereinbefore specified. And no owner shall be liable to any action by the contractor until the expiration of said sixty dajs , and such ow tier may pay such sub-contractor or pcrton the amount duo him from such con tractor for such labor , and the amount so paid shall bo held and deemed a payment of such amount to Ihe original contractor. And In cases when a dispute arises between a con tractor and his Journey men or other persons for the work done , the owner may retain tlio amount claimed by said sub-contractor or journej man or laborer until the dispute Is hcttlea bv aibltratlon or otherwise. Said hworn statement and claim of lien shall be by such county cleric recorded In the snine manner as other Ileus provided for by this chapter , ami such lien shall remain ' In foice for the same length of time as othei Hens piovlded for In this chapter. " Mr. Uobblns spoke at painful length against the bill , stating that ft was a cun- iiln'l > devised measure by which somebody wished toshlrK honest debts. Mr. Monro showed conclusively that the bill was In the intuiest ot the people and ono which had cnl"d ! out the combined opposi tion of all the lumber dealers In the state. It was an exact copy of a law which had for merly been on our statute books tor twenty jeois. He believed It to bo a very Import ant bill , and took a great interest In seeing It passed , us it was in the interest of the weak ns against the strong. lint the lobby against the bill was too strong and they made saudiint of It. House roll bs , tor the relief of Charles A. Johnson , of Hint county , was taken up. It appioptlittes saVs'Jtfl to his benctlt. on account ot daumgo to his property by tire Mnrch , Itssd , In an attempt of citizens to ap- lirehend an alleged miiidercr. The committee then rose. Mr. ilajois tisked Icuvo to submit the fol lowing protest : "In view of the1 final and formal act of recognition by the governor's proclamation of the success of tlm late con stitutional amendment , notwithstanding the fact of Its having I icon at the1 proper tlmo and place anil In the legal way declared lie * feated , I beg to submit the following and ask that It bo spread on tlic record : "Since tlie paasaL'o of the act providing for aiecoiint of the vote on the constitutional amendment , two questions have arisen to my mind : 1 , As to the right of the legislature to review the ballots aud recount the vote on thu amendment. 2. If the right ot the legis lature does exist to go behind the returnh ivu wo proceeded according to law' ' These are the two questions I desire to present to the sen ate ; not with any view to prevent the legis lature from remaining In session twenty days more , nor of attempting to Impede the much needed legislation In this state , but only that we fully understand oiiisclvcs , and Ifvvolmc no prevision of law that meets such an emeigencj- , that om judiciary coui- imlteo may toi initiate and present us such an act during our remaining twenty elays. "By prov islons of section 4 , chapter 3 , pigo fil of the compiled statutes w filch reads : Public notice that the proposed ttmundment oi amendments is. or are tobu voted upon , shall bo given in each county In the same manner as is or may be required by law regulating general elections , and the returns shall be made and thu votes canvassed in tlm same mantlet and by thu same olliceis of thu state1.

Mi. Itussellof Coltux ojiposeit the recom mendation on the ground that tlm judiciaiy committee hnd carefully considered the cli li ter and depilved It of sonio ot its monstrous features.

At the same time I will tiv to do justice to the arguments advanced hi the op position party. Although there may bo found In the constitution , the by-laws and of liclal declarations of the Knights ol Labor certain assertions or regulations , which wo might not nppiovc , we have not found therein tlio element which the holy see soclearlj designates us condemnatory , and the formula of their onianl/atlon contains ncltlmi'oath 1101 obllgationlwhlch piccludo those who do not belon. to it , or even theii enemies , troui becoming acquainted with tlioii affaiis. .

He cause such a condemnation does not appear to bo justlllcd either by the spirit of Its constitution , ot its laws , orby the declara tions ol Its heads. 2. That such a condemnation docs not ap pear necessaiy In view of the ti.inslent form of thooig-uii/itlon and of the social condi tion of the United States. 3. That it would not be pi mien t on ac count of the realitv ot the wrongs of the workingm in , and the tact thai the existence ot such Is allowed by the American public. ' 4. That It would bo dangijions to the lepu- tatlon ot the church In our denioeiatio country. 5. 'Dial It would bo powerless to compel the obedience ot our Catholic vvorklngmen , who would regard It as false and iniquitous. r . That It would be ( tc.stritctlvo Instead of bcnohclal In Its effects , toielng the sons of t'le church to icbel against theii motlieiH anil to range themselves wltli condemned socie ties which they have hitherto avoided. T. That It would be Millions to the linan ] ci.il support of the church and to the raising ot Peter's pence. 8. That It would turn Into doubt and hos tility the marked devotion of her people to the holy see. D. That it would bo regarded as a erne blow to the authority of the bishops of the United States , who , it Is well known , piotegt against such a condemnation. I trust that the considerations hern pro- sen ted have shown sulllclentlycleailj that Hiieh would be the results of the condemnation ot the Knights ot Labor of the United States.
