meritorious cases where the applicant had
boon coin pellod to niovo from ono county to
another in the honest endeavor to earn his

a number of cases 111 the state where men

dcncom m'lghborlngrouutlos or in distant
partA of tliostnto for the pnrposo of earniiiR
a liveliliood , which could not bo souurud at

"Tlio present bill , while it provides for
tliosowho roinnin in mdolenco upon their
homesteads , excludes tlio worthy eases wheie
inon have gone elsewhuro to make a tempo
rary livmy , This is a very serious objuct ion
to the hill , wliioli should bo amended so as to
liielmlo tills ohm of citizens. We have al
ready voted $ 100,000 , to the relief of a certain
Becttoiiof tlio state , and the citizens Sf tlio
eastern portion , who pay a largo proportion
of the taxes , have out of tlieir own private
mentis contributed many thousands of dollars
In moiioy , lood and provisions. It is neither
fair , proper norm accordance with the strict
letter of tlio law to legislate-in favor of any
set of persons to the exclusion of others
equally worthy. For this reason as well as
others , while the bill is in Its present form , I
shall vote no. "

duced a bill to iHtabllsh two exnerlmeninl
stations In this state -one at I'ltlhertson ,
llllrhnirlt county , nnd the other nt Ogall.iln ,
Kulth cntinty. This It the Ih-Mt measure of
the kind Hint hai been introiluced Into the
legislature. It has boon sinico-Hled by the
t'oiislilpratioii ' of the subject of Irrliriitlon , to
which the town of Cnlbertsoii has Driven con
siderable attention. It. will nlw doubtless
lirliiK up the consiileratlon of the i > xp4Hincnt
station which has been connected with the
university at Lincoln for Hie last three years.
The object of those cxpui'iiiicntal stations is
to detcrmino the adaptability of the stuto of
Ncbnuh.i tn au'ricult'iro ' anil horticulture ,
such ns the producing of grain , grasses , root
crops and fiults of all Icinds that are pro
duced in the sumo latitude in other states ,

timis not tjiexi-cod four for any ono voar to
determine tlio olTect of irrigation on the dif
ferent kinds of soil In thu stale. The pro
ceeds of tin ) sale of products shall bo applied
to defray in ? the expenses of the station. Tlio

of the most displeased of state nrticers this
nioi'iitiiR when ho learned that the llnanco
committee of the ho'iso hud decided to report
no appropriation for the support of the mili
tia.
"Tlioso peojilo do not seem to know the
value of the militia. They forgot that the
troops may bo required to stand between
thorn and trouble , now that .lay Gould's
methods have become like those of a robber.
They do not think also that , they may bo
called out again by tlio Indians in
tlio spring. Tlii'y denounced tno nres-
enco of the mllithi at 1'lno Hideo
and of the regulars also , claiming that they
had been brought to overawe the pooplo.
Thov have even refused to pay the militia the
debt It owes thorn. They owe it $10,000 of
expenses at PinoKiilgi" and SIO.OOU expenses
at homo. CJovornor Thaycr made no inentlon
of it , but tliero is a dcllcit of § 10,000 nearly in
the fund. Hills are coming In every day for
hall rent and drills and other thinps , hut
there Is no money to pav them with. The
state mndi ) n. contract with the militia for
throe years and the state lias receded from
Its side of the agreement. 1 don't think tlio
majority ot the legislature is willing to sup
port a move which would brinijtho state into

as It was of llio manner In which It bad been

government in the stale nnd Iho present
executive ought to be given a chance of put
ting in good men to etiforco the law. Ho
coulit not slate whether ono life or a do/on
lives had been saved by the law , but if lint
onu life had boon saved the law would show
that it was worth something and should DO

Senator Kelper said tlio bill had not cost

would preserve the standard of oil and would
cause good oil only to bo used.
Senator I'oynter snid that facts did not
show that bettor oil was being used now than
had been before tlio law was passed. Some
body must pay the cost of the inspection.
The cost came out of the consumer , as did
also tin ) cost of the oil from the time it. loft
the rulhierv , I f ncciiients wore fewer If the
the grade of oil were 'higher ' , there would bo
some reason for the retention of the bill , hut
tho.so did no exist and ho was opposed to the
reconsideration.
Senator Swit/.ler then showed that ! ! 5-10 ( )
gallons of bad oil had boon rejected which
otherwise would have been thrown into tlio
market. The cost of Inspection was but ll )
cents for fifty-live gallons. If astandaiil of

upon a scheme today that seals the fate of

position to paying the reasonable foes of the
shorthand writers and notaries who took tlio
voluminous testimony in tlio contest cases ,

introduced a bill to day to pay these

case to stand upon its own merits. Some of
the moro radical independents will favor
making a compromise with tlio lawyers and
allow them from one-fourth to one-half of

the attorneys looking for their pay to the

Section 1. No person shall ho licensed to

There is no possible chaiico for the bill
