LINCOLNNeb. . , March 29. fSpcclalto Tun PBB , ] About the only slffn In tin ) senate of bpproachlng dissolution Is n Rcnoral scramhlo to advance bills by Jumping some of the ordi nary methods of routine. Considerable tlmo was taken this morning In gathering up the odds and ends nnd crowding them forward. Several house bills were put on the general file without going to standing committees nnd others were ordered to third reading to avoid the delay of going through committee of the whole. Tlmt sort of thing consumer tlmd , and It Is neither newsy nor Interesting. House roll 481 , the salary bill , was passed unanimously and sent to the houso. The nonato went Into committee and again took up the deficiency bill. The following items were transferred from a miscellaneous claim bill to the dcnclcuoy bill because the former Is not likely to reach third reading before adjournment : To refund to Nemaha county thd money collected of It for nn In- B no man beloneing to Nemaha county. Kansas , ? S03 : to Emma J. Chester , a cleric ot the last legislature , who ha-j a voucher that was not paid because the fund was exhausted , | JS1 to1 refund to Richardson county for an erroneous tax , $ -12 ; to reimburse C. J. West- fallof Omaha , for expenses in following a fugitive from Justice , $300. The bill was thou approved. Senator Hoardsloy , of Lin coln , tried to put In $30,000 for Insuring state buildings , but It was ruled out , being an appropriation instead of n deficiency. The committee then took up a bill appro priating $10.000 for additional laud for the homo for the friendless at Lincoln , and $12.000 fora bow building. The proposition was to buy expensive ground adjoining the hdmO. Two or three weeks ago a resolution was1 passed looklhg to the sale of the present property and the erection of new buildings on a section of the state farm. An amend ment was offered for that purpose , but the ciUIro bill was defeated by a veto of It ) to 13. It xvas shown that the homo was a scml-pri- vato Institution , that when first aided by the state It was so helped wjth an understanding that the whole support was not to bo assumed and that col lections are bolng frequently taken In various counties for the bcnellt of the homo. The bill wns thought to bo In tha interest of Lin coln real cst.ito. The sontlmont .for removal to the state form was undoubtedly that of the majority of the senators , but it was felt that it was too late In the session to make the necessary Investigations for so radical a 8ES3IO.T. Senator Ncsbitt started a ripple of sensa tion by proposing , with u tinge of savageness , that the senate consider no moro house bills cxcctit appropriations. Ho said the sonata had been treated with contempt by the house , and tticro was no obligation to remain after the sixty-day limit and work on house measures. Senator Sutherland Joined in the attack. Ho statcdithat of nineteen bills signed 'one week by the governor , seventosn wore house measures. Ho said he was willing to sit down with his arms folded and wait until the house wai ready to adjourn. Senators Norval and Ueardsley counseled calmness and advised the consideration of meritorious house measures. The proposition was overruled nnd the sen ate took up the house bill to regulate bridge tolls. This was aimed at H. T. Clark , of Omaha , who has si bridge across the Platte nt Camp Clark north of Sidney on the road to the lilaok Hills. The bill , on the recom mendation of the committee , before whom Mr. Clark appeared at noon , was indefinitely postponed. The deficiency bill was passed by a vote of 01 to 1. Also , unanimously , the house bill ceding to the government Jurisdiction over Fort Sidney. Also Scoville's house bill auth orizing cities to establish and maintain oloc- rlo lighting ys terns. Also Potter's house bill authorizing town ships to buy toll bridges and issue bonds therefor. Dempster's dog tax bill was killed. Kotlco was received of the refusal of the 'house to concur in the senate amendments to the cxoonse and salary bill , and a wordy struggle on sued over the effort of friends of I the institutions to got a representative in the conference. Lieutenant Governor Mclklo- Jotm apnointcd Senators Ncsbitt , Robinson , Hurd , Kcckly , Born , and made the state ment that ho felt constrained under the cir cumstances to appoint gentlemen who were from districts not having public institutions.

[ Special to TUB The constitutional lawyers of the egislaturo are picking flaws in scnato file 10 , which in its original form abolished the live stock commission in Its entirety. The house struck out all after the enacting clause and inserted that part ot the old law which pro- ides for a state veterinary and the quaran- : lno regulations with an appropriation of rlO.OOU to innko thorn effective. On the ro- .urn of the bill to the scnato the house change was hold to bo an amendment and was concurred in and tbo title amended to suit the change. The validity of the measure is questioned on the following grounds : That an appro priation cannot bo made in a senate file ; that being practically a now measure it should nnvo uecn read three times m the senate ; that the semite .had no right to amend the title at that stage of the proceedings. The opposition to the live stock commission as sert their confidence in the validity of the clause which repeals the old law , and they do not mucli care whether the state voter- ! nary's salary is provided for or not. Under the ruling of the supreme court one section of a law may bo constitutional and in force while others arc not , An Ofliolons Watchman. LINCOLN , Neb. , March 28.

The Chicago mer chants who have been compelled to surrender their Iowa business to the Jobbers of that state , in consequence of the low freight rates established by the Iowa commissioners , are Insisting upon a corresponding reduction on rates between Chicago nnd Iowa points. The railroads thus far have made no reduction in their interstate rates except on lumber , 'and ' they claim that to put them on * the sama basis as the Iowa distance tariffs will de prive thorn of any profit , from tho.transp.or- tatlon of freight. However , they prom ised to consider the matter nt a meet ing of the Western freight association , and the demands of the Chicago merchants will probably bo complied With. The railroad companies have failed in their efforts to In duce the Iowa commissioners to advance their rates to n higher basis , and it is gen erally admitted that to remove the discrim ination now existing it will bo necessary to put intcrstato rates down to the Iowa level.

" The sentiment seems to bo growing that in the United States the tlmo luia arrived when "tho poor chaps don't have no chanco. " There is some truth in it. Tbo poor are not shut out from making a live lihood , hut the gulf between riches and poverty continually grows moro difficult to cross.

But the Barno conditions vastly im prove the chances for great success to those who can strike out in new paths , can furnish something to the world that others cannot.
