LINCOLN , .ran. 12 , )
Mr. Dorsey's brothor-in-luw shows his
liand. Hu opens it to the railroads anil says
to hit , constituency , touch me If you Unrc.
Ko roasomiblu person cuu longer doubt tlmt
lie Is u tuol of the railroads , and will dance to
their music whenever called upon to ilo so.
This morning ho secured u special meeting of
the state boiinl of traiibportiitlon , whun a
resolution wns passed compelling the secre
taries to submit all informiitlan to thu board
bought by the house or senate , or any of the
rominlttcch of these bodies , before giving it
to them. There can bo but ono object in this
move , viz ; The suppression of such iulor-
inatioii as may work favor to the people ami
damage to the roads , The committees of
llio house anil suiinto will doubtless want
roinpariitivu freight rates In operation in the
diflcrcnt states , anil the board of secretaries ,
or any one of them , ean not furnish the Information -
formation under the resolution now in effect ,
unless Mr. liciiton , Mr. Laws anil Mr. titoen
bco lit to pnrnili it. It will be impossible
for .ludgo-.Mason to go before any of the coin-
inittces , or before the house or senate , to
luniish Inforniatloa of any kind until ho fins
uskeil permission of the precious trio of
statesmen , u.ho resolution Is not only an in-
null to .Secretaries Mason and Mungcr , but a
blister upon common sense unit decency. It
Is heliovuil that the jiuerllo auditor of public
recounts was asked to do this by some rail
ivay olllelal , for the jmrpc o of blocking a
class of the Information slight by the cen
tral assembly. It looks that way , anil there
can bo no doubt but what Itis true. It has
long been suspected that Hnnton is a cats-
] tuw of the ronils , ami the suspicion is now
verified by proof. "It Is learned , " ug-
pestinl a prominent republican to-day , "that
Ills nomination was a criminal blunder , anil
Ills election a piece of folly ( hat can not bo
iitoneil. He Is a child mid has not put away
childish things. "
I-AUMKII I.EOIM.ATOIIS IN KAIINB&T.
It Is not generally known , but neverthe
less true , tlmt there are forty-.snven farmers
\\lio are members of the hoi wo of representa
tives. This part of thu body of legislators of
the state has hold two or three caucuses ilur-
flig the imst day or two that nro nlgalUcont ,
flo say the least , I have no means of know
ing what the fanner members of the
Iiousa contemplate , but presumably they liavo
in uilnil such legislation on tlio railroad ques
tion as will do them some good. None but
farmers are permitted to iittciul these cau-
causes. It is significant , too , that a few Al
liance men have uceu In close consultation
with them , and It Is highly probable that
something will drop in the halls of the. house ,
Hhortly , tlmt will make dry bones rattle , It
was broadly hliitctl to Tnu HUB representa
tive to-day that the farmers of the house ,
under the leadership of one of the shrewdest
legislators of that body , wcro after Mr.
Moshcr and his convict labor contract. It is
t > ald that an o licit will bo made for the pass-
ami of nil act , repealing the law
awarding the contract to him , dur
ing the next few days , and that
there is enough force behind the move to
como uncomfortably near carrying it. There
is no question but what there is a move brow
ing that will cause consternation lu some
quarters and dry peed humor In others.
Farmer members do not propose to bo
ignored on every question that promlies
well for their constituency , and It U high
time that this fact is appreciated. Above
everytbiuit oUo they want u law that will
absolutely prohibit future robbery and ex
tortion ou the part of ; the railroads of the
state.

building In the United States , but only af
fected wooden vessels , while his amendment
would encourage thu building of iron ami

Mr. Sherman objected to including ma
chinery and parts of machinery , us that'
would Interfere with American machine
shops.

cuedcd to i-xouutivo business , and f.oor. ad

countries of Europe was unrepresented by a
minister In this country. Thu Uritish gov
ernment had refrained from sondiiur
a minister to Washington for the pur

his mind that the United States should send
a minister to royal courts. The system was
absolutely unfitted to the character ot a free

The battle between the newspapers in

Mr , Charles A , Wutinoro , the chief
executive olllcor of the htato board of
viticulture , has talked with excellent
good EOIISO upon the maltor. lie said

question will bu SHtl'od ' , either ono way
or the other. They , however , are
bound to lose home of their fruit every
season bccaut-e their ranches are enor
mous , and in my opinion the solution of
the problem lies in the subdivision of
there largo ranches into small handy
fruit farms , whore a man's own family
with perhaps the assistance- a neighbor
borer two , can do all that-is requibito.
\Vo owe these immoiibo fruit ranches
and vineyards to Chinese labor , for they
could not have been created without
them , and they cannot ba handled
profitably now that the Chinese
are a thing of the past. The
cry tliat we cannot got along without
Chinese labor is all humbug as applied
to the state , but it is plain enough that
there are ranches calling lor such a
concentration of labor as is impossible
under our present conditions. Iceland
Stanford has . ' ! ,000 acres in vines at
Vina. Lucky Baldwin has a vineyard
of 1,500 acre's in the neighborhood of
Los Angeles , the Naloma , witter com
pany has 12,000 acres in vines near Folsom -
som , and there tire plenty more that 1
could recall. Now these men know
nothing of wino malting or of fruit
growing , and they have boon abs > o-
lutoly dependent upon their superin
tendents , and these men know that they
cannot get along willioutChinoao labor.
There is an understanding : imoirg all
thoi-o men beyond any doubt , and ( hey
will do their best to get the Chincsa
bade if they can. Hut they are not rep
resentative Californiatis , and will not
bo listened to if they assume to spoult
for California. It would bu far bet-tor
for the stale if they should mihdhidu
thoii * ranches into 100 aero farms , and
this is what they must do. ft is inevit
able. " This , ai it , seems to mo , is the
gist of the whole question.
