FOItCES THE FIO1IT.
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"

Tlio fact remains that. In nil essential 'anil

\Vhllotliorolssocintnsly a victory for the

the matter of con tot will Go thc-oiiKlily In *
vo-itlfjiited , and your rcpresi tutlvc.s will
most certainly make no concessions except as
tire perfectly right mul Just.
There Is no question but that a bill making

to urge Iniinodhito action on the part of the

Ono of the Ktrotis points In fnvor of Kovern-

Your servants would bo happy to receive

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.
Senator Slovens was appointed to the com
mittee.
KAM&llOAV HFMVLATIOX.
The Vlows , of IjoatllnB Farmers In the
, -.IloiiHo on tlii ) Subject.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 10. [ Special to
Tins BI'.E. ' ] 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.

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.

How far the situation and prospect may bo
changed by the passage of a free coinage bill
by the sennto is , M yol , mainly n matter of
conjecture. Keports of the state of trndo at
different points rellect innlnly , n situation
prior to that vote , and sliowgenor.il Improve
ment in the volume of business , easier money
markets and n moro cheering outlook.
The exports of morchandlso heavily ex
ceeded Imports in vnluo nt Now York , for
January. Thus far the Increase In exports
over last yenr bos been ? 1-100,000 , or about 13
percent , while the imports here show n do-
cllno of fJ,000,000 , or about 15 per cont. The
preliminary reports of exports of cotton ,
breadstoffs , provisions , cattle nnd petroleum
in December were almost unprecedented.
Hence , it appears , that tbo excess of
exports in December was very
largo , In splto of the decline
of the movement of breadstufTa. Per
the past week with wheat lo higher , corn
and oats practically uncuuiBr ! ! fHnd cotton
threc-sixlecnths higher , the exports of wlii
have been only about h.ilf of last year's ;
flour less than a quarter nnd of corn only
one-eighth , while the exports of cotton show
n decrease for the week ,
In splto of n considerable Incrcnso , in re
ceipts , pork has not changed , bill lard and
hogs are lower , Oil is 1'jfo lower mid the
speculative markets are generally weak , out
side of those aboyo mentioned , Tlio , _ reports
from other cities stiow that until Friday the
situation and outlook had been Improving
and a feeling of greater confidence prevailed.
Boston notes greater activity in wool ,
goods selling well nnd moro buyers appear

The money markets have grown cantor and
Iho banks are able to help customers morn
liberally , but at least the clinically of making

rates nro not lower , and caution in regard to
the character of the loans is more frequently
noted.
