JIo Trios to Make the Iiulcpondciita Ilrcoitnlzo lloyd us Governor. LINCOLN , Neb , , Jan. 10. [ Special to TUB BKK. ] Deny it us much as they may , the independents , cannot inako the opposition hero bollovo that they have not n secret under , standing that Mr , Boyd shall not bo rcc- ognuod by the legislature as governor if it can bo avoided , Aa already explained in TUB DUE , the tactic * of the Independents all lend color to that belief , and Senator Swlulcr is forcing thabuuo nt every opportunity. Ho bo had aovcrul cbobcoa in connection with the move ment to afford relief to the drouth sufferers before passing an appropriation bill , which would need the governor's signature , ar.d this morning bo made another stand , with partial nuccosn. The clerk of the house brouuht over n con- currot resolution providing for the appoint- mcnt of a relief committee , with two mem bcrs from the house , ono from the sennto nnd several private citizen ? . The resolution has been reatU only once In the house , out the clerk vend It to the sennto In full. Subsequently the following wns offered : , Tint a committee of ono bo ap pointed to confer with u Ilko committed of tlio homo heretofore- appointed relative to relief matters. Senator Swltzlar Interposed several objec tions , "but the rules wore "suspended to put the resolution on Its passage , when ho quail- lied It by getting in the following amend- mctit : "Thntln appointing this committee the Bcnatc does notcomtntt Itself to the provisions of the house resolution. " The senator from Douglas nmdo a fervid Btx.0ch , In which he clmrpcd that thla resolu tion wns partof a schomoof the Independents to got money for tlio relief of the drouth sttf- fc-rora without recognizing James K. Bo.vil as governor. Ho said there was only ono proper way to got that relief from the IcgMntwo. and that was nn appropriation bill , which nil parties would gladly vote for. Such n bill has beoa introduced In the house , nnd by Tuesday can bo made a law. A relict com- mlltco can hardly do nnythlnc In the Inter vening tlmo. The senator said he had doubts about the constitutionality of such an appro priation , but this wns nn extraordinary emergency and ho was not disposed lo seek for reasons to defeat such a measure. However - over , the bill may run up against that snag , and what n sorry plight n great many people would bo In if the niipromo court should do- clnro it unconstitutional after this relief cum- nilttee baa contracted a big dobtaml disposed of the goods. In support of his argument he read Irom the following circular letter Just being sent out by Independent members of tlio homo : IIAH ) : Suit No doubt you have ra < l the re ports of niieli impoM as THE OMAHA DAILY" - - , World-Herald , and State Journal durlnij the past wnolc , and have probablv noticed the sluis and disparagements cast upon the Imlu- puiuli-iiM.

Tlio state relief coiu- nillloo has by resolution made him chairman of a committee composed of thrco cnniiiuvi- incn olt-ot , nnd ho Is to proceed to Washington to urge Iniinodhito action on the part of the picsunt congress. Ono of the Ktrotis points In fnvor of Kovern- inrnt aid Is that mnco June 15,1SKI. there has boon puld Into the niitlonal treasury from the MeCook district alone , a-.OOy.STl ) . unil of this Hum not a dollar haaovor reverted back to tlio district. Your servants would bo happy to receive any udvlco or suggestions you may have to olTur , nnd will certainly give thorn oiireful consideration , not only fn this , but In all other mutters. Mr. Swilzlcr gave nollco xhat If the inde pendents persisted in their course ho would consider himself absolved from any Implied pledge to support the appropriation bill , and would assume the right to question its con stitutionality and light the contcsl on that linn. Ho reiterated lhat ho was in favor of the proposed relief , but ho was Opposed to an irregular and unnecessary procedure when the desired end could bo reached qulto as quickly In the proper way. In other words , Mr. Switzlor Insists Ihnl nn appropriation bill be passed and sent to Governor Boyd for his signature. lie rccards his amendment as n chcckmato to the Slovens resolution.

' ] The ro is very little difference botwee.il the farmers in the lower branch of the legislature on the qucslion of railroad legislation. Yesterday the vlows of leading Independents were given. Below will bo found the opinions of the farmers on the other side of the houso. The concensus of opinions would indicate that a maximum tar iff , fixing rates at 10 to 15 per cent above the rates noiv prevailing in Iowa , would Do enacted - acted ; and an amendment to Iho constitution submitted providing for the election of rail road commissioners by the pcoplo. On uelng Interviewed the members expressed them selves ns follows : Nelson of Platte. ( democrat , farmer , but not alliance ) Freights nro too high and need reduction. I will support a maximum tariff bill , nnd bcllovo Iho constitution should bo changed so that railroad commissioners may bo elected by direct vote of the people. I nlso tnvor a 3 cent faro , and think frco passes should bo abolished. Frost of Hurt , ( republican aud farmer ) I am strongly In favor of a reduction In freight rates , but In the thinly settled parts of the state a radical reduction would work nn injury lo the roads. 1 nlso think there should bo a reduction in passenger rates , but am not prepared to say to what ox tout , . Williams of Gngo ( republican and alliance ) I bcllevo wo should endeavor to bo just lo nil Interests. Wo want a sharp reduction in in freight rates , and a 'J-cont passenger faro. I think wo should pass a maximum freight bill and provide for the election of r.illroncl commissioners by the people. Frco Basses to public ofllcials should also bo abolished. Albert of Gage ( republican and farmer ) ] am In fnvor of a reduction In freight rates. Vandevcnterof Hlchardson ( republican antl farmer ) I think there should bo a reduction in both froicht and passenger rules , and 1 will support almost any measure calculated to bring about this result. Crumb of Jefferson ( republican and nlll- anco ) I want to do justice to all Interests. Fielghts are too high now. Railroads should nave a fair compensation for services ren dered and mnko a reasonable Interest on their actual investment. Kates ought to bo a trifle higher here than In the cos ton account of our sparse population. I do not approve of the indiscriinmato sriving of passes to Influence legislation. Whatever may bo right ns be tween the people nnd the railroads , that Is what I want. Shipley of Cumlng ( democrat aud farmer ) 1 agree in general with the views oxprosscc by Mr. Cramb. Decker of Thayer ( democrat and farmer ) 1 think some reduction in freight rates shouli tie made , hut nothing radical should bo ut- tomptcd. Passenger rates should also bo cut down. I don't know anything about free passes. I never had ono. Clnpp of Jefferson ( republican , farmer and alliance ) I will fnvor a law similar to the Iowa statute regulating railroads. I wll support n maximum tariff bill , and I think 3 cents u nilio Is enough for passengers. Frco passes nro bad on. principle , and ought to bo u bolls bed by law. Fee of Cherry ( republican nnd farmer ) utu In favor of a reduction of freight rates ami some plan by which railroad commission era may be elected by the pcoplo. I thliil Homo reduction in passcngor faro should IK iiKulo , Wo might compromise on " % cents a mllo. Free passes , have n tcndencv to cor rupt legislation and should 1m prohibited , bchuppol of Pawnee ( republican nnd farmer ) I favor a maximum tarIT cent faro , nnd am opposed to free passes. Soverln of Lancaster ( republican anc. fannor ) I favor maximum freight rates , a 3 cent fare , and want the railroad commission ers elected by too pcoplo. Tlio HnuHO Commlttera.

Interprctini ; the Constitution. Nob. , Jan. 10. [ Special to Tun Br.n.1 There Is much speculation as to whether Governor Boyd will sitrn the concur rent resolution for Tuesday's ' Joint convention to hear the contest. His friends express the opinion that ho will. Experienced men like Kepresentativo Walson , E. P. Iloggon and Walt Seely think his signature is not needed , although the constitution seems to require It. The Independents apparently are going ahead on the former theory. Senator Stevens - ons says ho knows of no action by the inde pendents for an alternate. Ho thinks the only thing for tno two houses to do is to moot at the tlmo named by the resolution regard less of the governor's action and go ahead with tbo business laid out. The Independents and democrats In the senate agreed Informally this afternoon that Senator Switzlor should present the resolu tion to Governor Boyd when passed tomor row , but that duty will prooably bo claimed by the committee on enrolled and engrossed bills. _ For An KlectivoKnilromt Commission LINCOLN' , Nob. , Jan. 10.
