In an Interview with the Lincoln cor respondent of Tiir Bii : , regarding the efforts of the board of transportation to secure a reduction of . tbo corn rates , Mhich resulted In the ton percent con cession by the rnllronds , Mr John Stcon said : "Wo nro in just as good position todny , even bettor , to demand a furtliQr reduction " This may bo the case , but the general feeling doubtless is tljat the failure of the board to obtain a moro favorable concession has Bomowhnt ombarrnssed the situa tion so far as the producers nro con cerned , to whom the proposed reduc tion will ho practically worthless While not necessarily oporatlng as an estoppel to a demand for a furthorTo- duction , its effect corlnlnly is not to cncotirngo a rcnowal of the domnnd G rati ting thnt the board did the best it could in this matter , did its duty end thoroV The people of Nebraska are urgently in need of rollcf , and there Is no promise that they will got it from a loductlonof through rates on their pro ducts The hoard of transportation has the authority to regulate local rates Is it not practicable : to do something in this way to give rollof to the poopio of the stntoV AVe have no doubt it is , and wo venture to think that If the board would tnko such action it might liavo a very snlutnry effect upon the railroad manugors with respect to through ehnrges At nny rate it could notre - sult In making these moro unfavorable • linn they are , and a dlroct and decided bonoflt would accrue to the people If the board of transportation will honestly ondcavor to do something within the Bcopo of its authority it is not questionable that it can help the people of Nebraska quite materially in the present oxigonoy , and perhaps strengthen itself in public confidence The matter ought to commend itself to the serious attention of the board , which lins never had offered it a moro favorable opportunity to bo of service to the people tiivy aim it up The ucmocrnts of the house of repre sentatives ha\o wisely decided not to continue the contest in which for several - . oral weeks they have boon unlforinljt defeated Their leader , Mr Carlisle , nftor the reading of the journal yester day , said that innsmuch as the house had adopted rules which allowed the counting of members present who ro- fubed to vote , ho saw no icason why the journal hhould not bo approved , and theruupon the democrats for the first time voted to approve the journnl It was a complete capitulation , though mndoithout prejudice to the demo cratic position of hostility to the princi ple of the now rules Mr Cnrllslo said the democrats still protested against the practice of count ing members present and not voting , but the question could not bo decided in the house and would bo aopoaled to nn- othcr forum This , wo take it , moans the poopio Representatives to the Fifty-second coiiirrcss will bo elected next November , nnrl undoubtedly the course of the republicans in the pres ent house will he made to figure prominently in the democratic cam paigns The icpublicans will be prepared - pared for this The course thut hus re sulted in a chungo of the rules of the house , intended to facilitate and expedite - dito the transaction of business , ahd to secure the rightful rule of the majority , was not taken without careful and thor ough deliberation , and the ropubllcans will not decline the issue before the people The reasons they have ulroady ghen for it commend themselves to the intelligent and unprejudiced public judgment The justification must bo mndo hereafter , in the record of the business of the house If the majority mnkos good its assurance to prevent unnecessary delays in legisla tion and to carry forward the work of the session as rapidly us the proper and adequate consideration of measures will permit , the now policy will bo amply vindicated and its approval by tlio pee pie bo assured The republicans in congress tmvo the matter lit their own hands , and they will bo judged by the result Mounwhllc the moro sensible attitude of the democrats onsouragos the hope that the future of the Hessiou will show a radical improvement in the character of the deliberations of the house , which thus far have not noon ontlrcly credita ble to the intelligence and dignity of that body scnnmxo AOditisr allison The efforts which the democrats of Iowa are said to bo making to influence the Farmers alliances against Senator Allison are not likely to prove very dangerous That game was played very vigorously before Mr Allison rocolvod a unanimous ronomlnntiou to succeed himself , and its complete failure ought to have con vlncod these hostile to the senator , democrats and ropubllcans alike , of the utter futility of any attempt - tempt to array any considerable portion of the republican farmers of Iowa against Senator Allison The mon who are now scheming to do this uudorostlmato the intolllgonco , the parly loyalty and the stuto pride of the famurs The producers ot Iowa are familiar with the record of Mr Allison and know that tholr coiiftdonca in hltn is not misplaced , and these of tboin who are sincere republicans understand thnt not only the party in the state but in the country , would stiller a great loss bv the rotlromont of Senator Allison from pub lic life They approolnto the fact , also , that the distinguished position of tholr senior senator as a states man , rccogpl/.od throughout the country us worthy ot the highest office in thq gift of the poopio , rollucts honor upon the 6tate , giving it a prominunco in national affairs nnd before the coun try which it very likely would not otherwise enjoy , mid which every citi zen who has it pride in his state should dusiro maintained All those consid erations the republlcnu farmers of Iowa hue not failed to duly weigh , nnd thov will not now be tuniod from the con viction thnt tholr own lntorosts and those of the state do in and the ro-eleo- tion ot Senator Allison , while hlsclahns ns a distinguished party leader , eml- nont in the national councils , justify such an endorsement ( But there is another and no less cogeut reason why this scheming y. . . . . . . I. I . . M . against Senator Allison must provo futllo Bvory republican in the logls- laturo is on record in favor of his re election , and it la not to bo presumed that there Is any one ot thorn who could now bq induced tj stultify hlmsoH by an act of recantation Tlio two or three who were charged with bolng hostile to Mr Allison before fore the cnucus were found in line when the time for action came , thus dashing 1ho hope of the opposition that n broach would bo mndo in the republican ran its The result - sult bound the ropubllcans of the logls- laluro , by every consideration of honor , to remain faithful to * Sonntor Allison , and every attempt to iuduco thorn to rcpudiato that obligation implies nn asporslon upon their integrity nnd good faith , which wo venture to think no in telligent republican fnrmor will allow himself to malco Tlicro Is no tcason , therefore , to apprehend nny great d&sw-a't • KTiva2 the demo cratic scheming with > * the farmers - ors alliances The conditA > ns nro all against the possibility of making such nmovomont seriously oflbctlvo The . republican party of Iowa desires the ro- oloctlon of Senator Allison and Us rep resentatives In the loglslnturo will re spect the desire They are solemnly pledged to do this , and every man of thorn will remain talthtul to his re corded obligation PAT OR FiailT The Corners wore crowded , unusually crowded , ana the curbstone was lined with teams of nil description , The Tones tragedy was the chief topic of conversation , though the ludicrous efforts of Edward Rosewater to create some disturbance nnd delay in the now costoOlce mnttor came In for a shnro of attention Ileal cstato and business mon who condescended to discuss the dying ef forts of the sago of Eighteenth and Farnam were earnest In tholr denunciation of any attempts to retard Omaha's spring growth and development O. 21. H. Our aminblo and patriotic friend is evidently getting very nervous Ho suspects that his cherished scheme to unload fifty thousand dollars worth of property upon TJnclo Snm for seventy seven thousand dollars is liable to ho upset Now , really , if Undo Sara does back out of the bargain which was made between certain wny-up dem ocrats and certain wny-up republicans , before Grovoi * wont out of ofllco , who would be to blame ? Surely not the advocntos of Eighteenth and Far nntu or Sixteenth nnd Hnrnoy Who has cnusod the eight months delay lay in perfecting the transfer of prop erty ? Bid nnybody opposed to the Hitchcock corners show the slightest disposition to undo the compact which had boon ratified under the false pretense - tense that it was designed to expedite the construction of the postofflce ? Was it not manifest from the outset thnt Hitchcock nnd his associates had ottered the government property which they did not own , had no right to offer , and the title to which could only bo secured by the slow nnd tedious process of the courts But wo wore told that these obstacles were a moro trifle Wo wore assured that even if the nppraisomont oxeoodod the four hundred thousand dollars ap propriated for the si to the mon who were bucking this selection had executed - cutod a bond for fifty thousand dollars to raako the title good Now who has caused all the delay ?
