Ilr.n J The smoke of battle hin clcaroil away
and the sun shines plnelilly ui ) ii the weary
warriors who n few hours before wore cn-
pngod In a death stnipuloforpolltlcalsuprcm-

U up. nml after week of strifu and turmoil
the IcKlslaturo has llnally arrived at tlio
point editorially outlined In Tin : llr.i : a few
days lieforo the session opened and which ,
but for tlio Ill-timed and revolutionary advice -
vice of aided the
two-by-four attorneys , by
reckless course of Dictator llurrows , would
liavo ln'on reached the second Jay of the
ICKlslntlvo session.
"Woaro making history nml uniting the
republicans and democrats on roc.onl , " Is the
answer vouchsafed by the tU'fiMtoil but by no
means despondent leaders of the radical In-
depundfiit element to all queries from repro-
semtntivos of the press.
"Wo know wo would liavo to yield in the
lonp run , but wo wanted to dlowlth our fares
to the foi-u , " is tlio remark vontureJ by ono
who is now willing to "forjjlvo and forgot , "
nnd press forward In thu work of tliu session
and omlc.ivor to enact some need and wholesome -
some leKlslatlon.
Hut the bappii'st mon around the capital
building am the eleven In-.ivo inilepcndcnts
who obeyed the dictutas of their own con
science and acted on thuir belter judgments
rather than the blind and merciless dccroo of
the party. The Independents In the house
who joined with the democrats and republi
cans In votliiB to rorogulro lloyd as the
do facto governor offer tlio following reasons
for their cause In this matter :
Dunn of ( 'olfax 1 was simply doing my
duty to my constUimuts nnd to tlio state at
largo. This thine had hunir on long enough.
Wo cou'd ' do no business until wo took this
step. I did not know It was coming , but 1
would have remained till morning If ticcos-
arv , because 1 knew 1 was right.
Felchtinnor What was tlio use of our act
ing tlio fooisl How could wo lofusoto recojj-
nko Doytlf Kvcrybody knows ho Is the gov
ernor and wo could only make n laughing *
stock of ourselves. It would liavo been much
better It wo hud done this llirco weeks ago.
Chile1 1 have but little to ndil to my remarks
yesterday. 1 am e.\treinely weary of this
nonsensical wasting of time , for nothing.
Tlio contest is of no special interest to mo. I
will put nothing in its way but frooil legisla
tion ami not an unseemly strife for the lojves
and llshes is what wo are hero for.
. ( ones of Hurt I wanted to do this thlnp
three weehs ngo , and tohl our leaders that I
would vote to rccoKtilio lloyd the llrst time
the iucstiini | came up. Whut is the use of
Irving to maintain nn untenable position
wldlu our brethren In the vest are sutlering
for the necessaries of life , while wo coulu
not relieve their distress until wo recognized
the governor so be conH sign the relief bills !
The delay in tills business is utmost criminal ,
nnd entirely unjustlllabloovon from a party
standpoint.
Mr. l/ininx of Custor Uelioving Hint the
recognition of .lames K. lloyd , as acting gov
ernor of tlio state of Nebraska , was neces
sary before ho wns allowed to sl n our bills.
And considering it inconsistent on our part
to present bills for his signature anil at the
Hnino time refuse to acknowledge his right to
act us governor , I would not do otherwise
than vote that ho should be ollleially rccog-
nlzod.
Olson of Sanmlors I voted with our boys
to ad jotirn , nnd fought as hard as I could to
get a chance to caucus , but when wo reached
asnunro vote on the resolution 1 had to fall
in line with my honest convictions.
Puruell of Perkins I waut you to under
stand that 1 am one of the radicals , but I am
anxious for the contest to coma olT. Wo
never could have had a contest at ad unless
wo recognized Hoyd long enough at least to
sign the concurrent resolution. That is thu
only explanation 1 have for my vote on this
question.
Htowart of York The whole piwraimno
laid down for the liulupcmlents bus'been a
niisluko from this beginning. Tin : HKK out
lined in Its editorials the only honest policy
wo could pursue. Hut wo conlil not beatuny-
thlng into the heads of our leailcrs and now
they see where wo aro. Hut wo liavo ono
.satisfaction. Wo have got there ut last , and
now 1 hoi o ue cuu begin to niiiko t > omo good
laws.
laws.Waldroa
Waldroa of Adams I was sorry the very
next day that I voted in the joint convention
for that foolish resolution not to recognize
thu executive olliccrs declared elected ou the
face uf the returns till the contest was de
cided.V could not even test Uovil's right
to his seat until he had signed this concur
rent resolution or till wo hail passed it over
his voto. Powers is my decided choice lor
governor , but It is better to recognize Hoyd
until wo have heard the testimony and wo
liiui out whether or not bo was honestly
elected. 1 don't think our action has the
slightest bearing ou the contest ,
Williams of Franklin I have considered
all along that Uoyd is the do facto governor
and should be so recognized until the contest
is llnally decided. I fail to sou the necessity
of blocking nil legislation to carry out a fulso
nnd ruinous policy. When ono is wrong it is
bettor to acknowledge the fact. 1 don't con
sider the action \vo hnvo taken has the slight
est bearing on the contest ono way or the
other , except if we had not recognized Boyd
we never could have had any contest at nil.
1 have nhvaya acted on the principle that a
mnn is innocent until proven guilty , nnd as
Hoyd bus an undisputed plurality on tlio face
of tlio returns , that gives him the right to the
ofllco until It U proven that bo was not hon
estly elccti'd.
Wilson of Adams I simply voted to recog-
ntro lloyd as the do facto governor. If this
iniestlon had the slightest bearing on the
lliuil determination of thu question as to who
was honestly elected , 1 would tiavo voted dif
ferently. Some radicals nro crying "boodle ,
boodle , " but that has not a particle of influ
ence over mo. 1 came hero to do my duty as
1 see it , regardless of the consequences. The
position of the conservative independents is
lully outlined In the nbovo Interviews , and
thu sober second thought of thu moro violent
of the radicals is forcing tlio reluctant ad
mission that they are right nnd will bo sus
tained in their position by public sentiment ,
even among tliu members ot the ulliauco.

Mr. Oakley nlso Introduced a resolution
requesting the senate to appoint n commltteo
of two to act with n committee of three al
ready appointed by the house to nttond the
deep water harbor convntion at Galvcston.
Slirader thought the necessary expenses of
this session wnuhl bu largo enough and
moved to table the resolution.
llroen believed the state of Nebraska
should take an interest in this meeting nnd
thought tin ; legislature should not adopt the
principle of being "nennv wise and pound
foolish.1
A motion to table wui lost 15,1 to-15.
Slovens then domandeil the roll call on the
adoption ot the resolution , and said : "Let
us take care of our own suffering nooplo. "
8cliolu ( inil ) snld ho heartily endorsed
the Idea of water communication by wav of
CnlvosUm with the outslilo world and direct
rail communication to that point , but did not
think thu mutter needed any further investi
gation.
IIowo was opposed to the spending of pub
lic money unless some benefit may bo derived
from it , but this was simply a question
whether Nebraska should take her position
in the sisterhood of Htates or rouiain in the
background. The amount of money wo expend -
pond for postage stamps wouhl uay the ex
pense.
Speaker Klder thought the discussion was
taking too wldo a rnngo.
Nowberry thought Nebraska had enough
advertising already to spread its fume from
polo to pole , and charged that the scheme was
in the interest of railroads ,
Uobson ( ind ) said _ the house had spenttimo
enough already discussing the matter to pay
the entire expense.
Wilson ( ind ) was certain that time enough
hail been wasted to pay the expenses of the
return trip to ( talvoston of thu entire legisla
ture , f Laughter. ]
Speaking in defense of this resolution Mr.
Oakley said : "Mr. Speaker : 1 desire to say
that I think the gentleman from Fnriias has
well said ho had not considered the impor
tance of this measure. Here is n proposition
that has been before the American people. lor
the last live years ; a proposition that has bcun
thoroughly and well considered , and if car
ried Into effect , it will change the geography
of this on tire country , and will nlaoo the
state of Nebraska nearly 700 miles nearer the
seaboard than it is today , and saving to the
farming community of ttio state millions of
dollars within the next decade. So far as
the trilling expense of the committco to this
convention is concerned , it is a mere baga
telle. It scorns to mo this is a matter of which
the bottlers of Nebraska cannot afford to
take this view. The question is as important
sis any question that will como before this
boily , directly or indirectly. It Is a question
that stands side by side with the great rail
road problems of the day , anil I hope the
gentlemen will consider thoroughly and well ,
before they sot out toward taking a back
ward step in this important matter a matter
that commanded the interest ot the strongest
minds of tlio nation for the last llvo years.
Lotus move forward , Instead of backward.
It is no time to move backward. The cry Is
forward. "
In uxplaning his vote the speaker spoke ns
follows : "This vote eominuon a. . resolution
to respect the senate , nnd havim : already
voted wo would semi a committee there and
the committee having been appointed by the
house and received tholr credentials , I voted
'avo. ' "
This resolution was adootcd S3 to 3. ) .

JlK.I : The report of Warden Hopkins of the
lonllontlnry is another. ) stale biennial volume
vhleh has been presented to thu legislature ,
t Is very short nnd correspondingly sweet.
t opens with the statement that the sewer
system bos boon so extended as to satisfy the
requirements of the place. Owing to the
erection of a largo smokestack , It Is now
losslblo to keep llres burning In all the shops
ind heat all the buildings properly. .Tito
nuln building nnd cell house have received
now roofs and the kitchen nnd cell house been
[ lalnted. The main building has in a ilegreu
Iioen made Irresistible by being painted in
cement. Mr. C. W. Moshcr of tlio Capitol
N'litloaal bank has donated r > 90 books to thu
library , Increasing the number of volumes In
that repository to Il.lWO.
The sujwrlnteiulcnt suggests that the peni
tentiary 1)0 lighted by electricity. Coal oil is
used In all the buildings save the cells , where
the convicts are compelled to accustom thorn-
solves to tallow candles. Some of thu con
victs are nblo to so husband their dips ns to
ennb'.e ' thorn to do duty for a week. Those
who cannot do this must content themselves
with the poor lijiht from without , which the
warden snys Is inadequate to enable them to
eat or read with comfort.
Tlio superintendent wishes that the capac
ity of the hospital may bo Increased two-fold ,
nnd this could be done , ho says , by the erec
tion of another building cast of the present
structure.
There are three insane convicts lu the pen
itentiary whom It la not possible for the elli
ccrs , paid ns they tire to look after sane men ,
tn care for. The superintendent thinks they
should bo scut to the Insane nsylnm.
Two men are now conllnod in each cell ,
ICach cell was originally intended for hut ono
iti'iii. The cell capacity has almost been
tested to the uttermost , and a now cell
house , In which the cells shall bo used
but for ono is suggested ami before the close
of the next biennial term will be an absolute
necessity. The custom of quartering two
men In cells Intended hut for ono man , Is per
nicious. H Is Impossible to put comroniiil
spirits together lind the result la bickerings
nnd animosity which it Is not always possible
to discover until it is almost too Into.

) iu.J : ( ieiieriil Morgan , commissioner of
ndlau afTalrs. delivered an address tonight
lOfaro the Society of Friends In this elt.7 in
vhleh ho reviewed nt length and In a most
ntortninlug way the recent Indian war lu
ninth Dakota. Ho spoke substantially as
ollows :
"Tho recent occurrences In Dakota have
\stablished a con vh'tlon In tlio minds of tlio
i\mericim people that the tlmo has arrived
Tor making some changes In our
nothods of dealing with the Indians.
The pee plo are very wirnest in the
natter , nnd will not bo. sat Is Hod untllnchango
if some Kind l.s made. An intelligent discus
sion of the case is the only solution as to the
noans by which this may bu accomplished ,
uid to this end such discussion Is very much
o be desired , and ue have something to learn
'rom the angry criticisms of .those who , it
tliero bo such , whoso motives \ not to lin-
irovo , tint to injure or punish. There uru in
ho United States something loss that J.Vt.dOH
Indians to whom the government has from
tlmo immemorial sustained the relationship of
guardian , tinil for whoso wclfnro nml pros
perity H holds itself in a largo degree respon
sible. The government holds In trust for
them funds to the amount of $ V-'i' , r > 01.0li ,
which Is eventually to ho paid to them orox-
icnded for their lienellt. The obllgntious
: hat thn government has ontercd into with
these Indians should bo fulfilled in every ru-
spoct , as nothing moro or less will satisfy thu
national conscience. Tlio land now recog-
il/cU as belonging to the Indians of this
. own try embraces an urea of about ISl.-i.M )
sqiiaro miles , or about 11(1,01)0,111)0 ( ) ) acres an
irea greater than that of the New England
ind middle states combined ; greater tban
: \\o \ \ aggregate area of tLo states of Ohio. In-
.Ilium , Illinois and Kentucky ; larger by half
than thu united kingdom of ( irent Britain
ind Ireland ; larger thnn Sweden or Norway ,
ind nearly as large us either Franco or Spain.
Uvory consideration of economy nml justice
requires the utmost euro in handling this
vast patrimony , in order that , these for whom
it Is intcnued .should renn the full benefits.
'The work of uplifting the Indians is n eon-
structlvo work. The work of the army l.s
essentially destructive. Indian ndmlnistr.i-
.ioii calls for the cxerciso of rigid economy.
Economy l.s not ono of the special virtues
that are developed In the army. The admin-
stration of Indian affairs calls forthoexcr-
clso ot sympathy , philanthropy nml an un
conquerable faith in the manhood of the In
dian. I } icld to no man In my regard for the
army of the United States , and 1
take a personal pride in tlio history of its
achievements , but I cannot refraii from ex
pressing my profound conviction that there
could not bo in the present changed relations
of the Indians to the United States a moro
unwarrantable action taken than to turn over
lo the war department the abioluto control of
the American Indians.
"Tho question , porhnps , will now bo pre
sented , What is n remedy for the present
state of things which so many people unite
in beliuviiiB deplorable ? Is tliero no remedy ?
In reply , 1 can only express my own personal
views. I alone am responsible for what I
now utter. I speak simply lor myself , and I
hut reiterate what I tmvo already said in
substance , both in my published reports and
In public addresses , both before enterlmr
upon my present duties and since , when I
say that 1 believe it is not possible to Im
prove tlio present system of the administra
tion of Indian affairs.
"Tho continuance of nny person
in the Indian service should bo con
ditioned upon the faithful perform
ance of duty. Capacity and fidelity
ohould eatitlo a man or woman to feel
reasonably certain of being retained in ofllca
so long as ho is worthy or until the work in
hand shall have been accomplished ,

board of directors of tlio Chicago , St. Paul

nnd sent to press a book on tlio railway
problem has caused a sensation in both busi
ness nnd literary circles , and it is said that
the farmers' alliance will find in Mr. Stick-
noy the new Moses who will lead them into
the promised land.
It will be remembered that a short time
ace Mr. Stlckney was present at n gathering
of railway magnates in Now VorK citv and
completely paralyzed the elcg.mt . gentlemen
nf uotham by fr.mkly avowing his belief
thnt though personally tlioy might bo trust
worthy enough , yet as ollleials he would not
risk them out of sight with his watch or
credit them under oath.
The same breezy spirit is abroad in his
work. Mr. Stiekney discusses the history
and development of the railroad systems of
the west , describes the forces which pro
duced the granger legislation , pays his re
spects in n vivacious way to the mterstato
rommerco act and then discusses nt length
the remedlos demanded of thu companies in
