. . A. meeting of the District Bar association
to nominate Judges for the district bench Is
not materially different in method or manner
from the ordinary political gatherings known
to tbo common people as conventions.
lion. A. J. Popilcton called the meeting to
order and placed Judge J. M. Wool worth In
'nomination for cbalrmnn. His election was
unanimous. Judge Elder of IHmr was
elected secretary and the business of the
meeting was opened.
Carroll Montgomery appeared to bo closest
to tbo nrlt ol the covenant and brought tbo
rcshcst InlclllRcnco from the gubernatorial
front. Ho Introduced the following resolu
tions !
Uosnlvctl , That this meeting now proceed ,

Joseph H , Mclntosh thought It unwise to
select n man to 1111 Judge Clarkson's shoes.
Iltssald : "It is a delicate inallor toput a
man In nomination for this place , as wo have
nothing but a rumor thnt Judge Clnrksou In
tends to resign. "
George J. Hunt took the wind out of Mr.
Mclntosh's sails by rending n telegram from
Judge Clnrkson. In which ho stated that his
resignation had been forwarded to Governor
Boyd. and that ho desired that a man bo nom
inated to fill the vacancy.
"W. S. Strawn warmed up nnd moved to
adjourn. Ho kicked in the vigorous style of
- the man who Is not In the denl und objected
to a convention called with but twenty-four
hours notice to select four Judges for a dis
trict composed of four counties. He intimated
thnt It was a put up job.
Judge "Uuflln wanted glvo the governor a
llttlo discretion , and ho favored naming
twice as many candidates as were in de
mand , with the naive Intimation to the gov
ernor that with this trining exception the
bar Is willing to trust his Judgment.
M. V. Gannon wanted to hear who was
running for the Judgcshlps , nnd bo thought
tbo notice of the mooting was very much
abrovlatcd , Ho had heard on the streets a
slate had been made up.
The motion to adjourn was defeated. Mo
tions and substitutes and points of order
wcro taken , but lliially after Pat Huwrs
warned the old parliamentarian In the chair
and Judge Ambrose tbat a motion to table nn
amendment would curry the whole subject to
the table , It was agreed to proceed to an in
formal ballot. A. J. Poppleton remarked
that ho was not up on parliamentary mo
tions , but ho hnd no tlmo to waste and did
not want an Informal ballot. Pat Hawcs
moved that the first ballot bo formal , but ho
was told ho was out of order. Justice need
wanted to bo sure speech-making was not cut
off. C. J. Gicono hoped the nominating
speeches would bo brief.
Mr , Mclntosh arose to a question of privi
lege nnd Introduced the following :
Whoreus , HavhiR heard tlio announcement
.authorltatlMjIy miulo tbat his honor , Jiulgo
Ularksoti , contemplates tendering to tlio gov
ernor of UioHtntoof Nebraska his resignation
of tlio ofllco of onoof the judncs of the Third

Itcsolved , By the bar of the Third Judicial
district tlmt wo Krontly regret the retirement
of Judco Ularkson from the bonch. for durlnK
the administration of the affairs , by hln en-
erity und Industry ho has done much to fuclll-
tuto the speedy and on mil administration of
tlio laws ami has particularly dlHtliiKulshud
himself as a wise , fearless , upright and Im
partial judge.
Tbls and the preceding resolutions wcro
adopted.

but not until Pat. O. Hawos' motion to allow
all lawyers who are engaged In practice a
vote , was carried.
A number of gentlemen wanted to rnoko

Charles J. Orcono moved that Davis ,
Sstcllonnd Trvlno bo declared the choice of

Struwn objected and called for a recount.
Mabonov said It was Impossible , as many
of the ballots had boon destroyed.
J.V. . Ellcr lusistod upon knowing the
politics of the candidates.
' 'Its no use asking , " said Judge AVool-
worth , . "as you will recognize them by the

Corrlgnn's Ucnmiul for Hctronoh-
niciit ItumnvcH aOnud Man.
Chairman O'ICcclTo and Messrs. Corrlgan ,
Timtno and Van Camp participated in the
political obsequies of Clerk Webb nt the
meeting of the borrd of county commission
ers yesterday afternoon. All wa ? oa screno
as n May morning , but the clerk wasn't very
much surprised niter all , as ho bad boon
scanning thohorlsou forporteutlous signs for
so mo tlmo ,
County Attorney Mnhoney presented n
communication stating thJt the board had no
power to lease part of the county hospital tea
a brick manufacturing Jlrm , as tbo board was
mcrofy a servant of the people , elected by the
people for the sake of convenience.
PoortnustwMnhonoy's petition for nvohlclo
with which to convoy the sick and Infirm
from the city to tbo county hospital was re
ferred to tho'judlcl.iry committee.
The report of the county Judge for the last
quarter of IS'JO ' was reported on by the com
mittee on ilnanco. It was as follows :

Tbo county clerk's ' quarterly report showed
the total amount collected as 94lj.)0 , ( ) nnd ex
penditures as UHl.-l. ) , leaving a balance of
S7S.15 on hand. Doth reports were adopted.
The Hussoy-Day company nslted to bo al
lowed to withdraw Its bid for furnishing Ras
Hxluros for the county hospital , owing to a
misunderstanding of the advertisement , and
wanted its ccrtllled check returned by the
county clerk.
Van Camp moved to grant the prayer of
the petitioner.
"Do you want to return ccrtitled checks
cvcrv tlmol" demanded Chulrnun O'Kceffo. '
"Yes , " was ttio abbreviated reply , and the
motion prevailed.
Van Camp then moved to readvcrtlsc , but
thcro was no second , nnd he then seconded
Corrlgan's motion to the effect thnt tbo con
tract bo awarded to the next lowest bidder ,
The motion obtained tbo necessary three
votes ,
Corripnn offered a couple of resolutions , ono
declaring that John Heed should succeed "W.
H , Kusscll as engineer at the county hospital
after April 1 , and the ether admonishing
county onicors to purchase no now furniture
or make any improvements without first ob
taining the consent of the board. Both mo
tions wcro carried , although Timmo objected
to Iho first , and the chairman was required
to volco his opinion.
The county clerk was Instructed to adver
tise for t\\o weeks for thqsnlo of nil build
ings owned by the county In Douglas addi
tion on April 10 to tbo highest bidder for
cash ,
Corrlgan said ho hid a resolution which ho
supposed tlio clerk was too modest to read ,
nnd fished a 2x ! oieco of paper out of his
vest pocket. It provided that "henceforth
the board will dispense with the ser
vices of Clerk Webb , that trio duties
heretofore performed by him shall devolve
upon County Auditor Kvans , and that the
county clerk shall taiio charge of the com
missioners' records mid papers until Mr.
Evans assumes the responsibilities ot said
ofllco , which shall bo forthwith. "
Tlmrno couldn't sco It that way , but
there were thrco votes without him , the
chairman voting for the resolution with the
understanding that no additional help was to
bo employed.
Corrigan drew a long breath and nn ad
journment was taken for ono week. Several
of the county olllcers expressed to Mr.Vobb
their regret nt his retirement , and It was
freely predicted that notwithstanding tbo
Implied retrenchment ot Corrlgnn's resolu
tion , a new cletk would bo appointed within
two \vccks , and his name will bo Jim Mont
gomery.
AN OASIS.
Pleasant Reminder That Rvrrybody
Don't Kick nt the Itnllroads.
In these days of legislative enactment
against railroads aud tbo proneness of trav
elers and shippers to kick on the slightest
provocation , the life of tbo average railroad
official Is not as blissful as some may Imagine ,
hence when a grateful mortal turns up and
actually -takes the trouble to express his ap
preciation of the road and its service , it is
the occasion for rejoicing und congratulation.
It Is therefore not surprising that General
I'assonger Agent Francis should feel elated
over the receipt of the following letter from
an old newspaper friend. Such llttlo evi
dences of appreciation come as rays of sun-
hlilno and tend to break the monotony of the
daily routine of railroad Hfo.
NOHTII LVNN , Conn. , March 19. My .Dear
Francis : Followln g your advlco , I have had
the pleasure | of rldin ; over the Ilurlington
route from Denver to Chicago , and I want to
tbank you for the onoymontof.tho ] Journey.
It wus a revelation to mo , tbo superb man
ner In which wo were treated. I have
traveled quite extensively by rail throughout
the east and the west , and I have never found
the equal of thollurllngton system. The ap
pointment of its sleeping cars , dining cars
and chair cars are perfect , and under the
splendid management that this road has in
augurated , ono Is as comfortable in a railway
coach us ho can possibly bo outside of bis
own home. Especially is their dining car
service worthy of pralso. It Is perfect in
every detail , and the fact that meals are
served for 75 cents instead of $1 , tbo price
asked on nearly nil of the eastern nud the
western roads , makes It deserving of the lib
eral patronage tbat it enjoys.
I can ulways speak a favorable word for
the Burlington with a clear conscience , after
having ridden over Its main lino. May it
grow and prosper and may a llbaral share of
its prosperity fall to you. Yours truly ,
T. B. HOLMES.

Some Army Nulci.
The vtrdlct of the court-martial before
which Captain Henry E. Cntloy , Company
C , Second Infantry , was tried has boon re
viewed by General Brooke and it did not
meet with his approval. The verdict found
that Captain Catloy was not guilty in every
charge preferred , but General Brooke lu
a toriof but caustic review of the case says
ho is unable to see why such a verdict should
bo returned in tbo face of the ovldcnco pro
duced. This will not change the status of
the case , however , so far ns Captain Catloy Is
concerned , for an acquittal by n court-mar
tial Is the end of a case. Captain Catloy Is ,
therefore , reinstated and Is In charge of his
compuny at Fort Omnhn.

Arguments Aijnlii.st the Now berry IJ11I ,
and llcasons for Its DlRiipprnval
Other IlcsolutloiiH Adopted
nt the .Meeting.
\\ashington hall was filled last night with
ralhvny men in response to a call for a mass
meeting to consider the question of organiz
ing all union men in the state for mutual
protection , These in attendance represented
all classes of railway employes , including
clerks , mechanics , engineers , switchmen , etc.
V , II. Dally called the meeting to order and
David Knox was chosen chairman nndV. . J.
Carroll secretary.
Chairman ICnpx , In assuming charge of the
meeting , dilated at great length on the Now-
berry bill and its probable effect
Dan Honln stated that through sonio mistake -
take the chairman had not been furnished
with a copy of the call for the mooting , lie
tated thnt a subject would bo presented to
the meeting for Its consideration which was
of far moro Importance than the Kowborry
bill or nny other law which might bo enacted.
The meeting had oeon called for the purpose
of forming n federation from tbo general
manager to the nan who shovels coal , so as
to present an unbroken front to anything
which opposed the best Interests of tlio rail
road men.
Chairman Knox took occasion to denounce
any such scheme as all bojh.
A motion was made and seconded , that no
other business bo considered except the Isow-
berry bill. The question was put nnd the
motion carried unanimously.
T. H. Daily moved the appointment of a
committee to formulate a series of resolu
tions on the Newberry bill. The motion pre
vailed and the following committee was np- .
pointed : Charles Unltt , Union Pacillc ; Jo
seph Bcatty , Klliborn road ; E. Dunn , Union
Pacific ; C. A. Davidson , B. & M. ; Henry
Nye , B. & M.
The committee withdrew and loua cries
were nmdo for Charles Uroen , attorney for
the B. & M. , who proceeded to the platform
and addressed the meeting. The well known
origin of the Newberry bill was dwelt upon ,
and the speaker showed Its arbitrary feat
ures. Uo then spoke of railroads as nn in
vestment and quoted figures to show that
railway stocks were anything but profltablo.
Coming to the ipjcstiouof rates , the speaker
said Nebraska farmers had the advantage
over the farmers of Now York and. Pennsyl
vania and Illinois , and the cry in tbo cast
had been that the east was being sacrificed
to tbo Interests of the west.
The committee on resolutions through Its
chairman presented the following preambles
and resolutions , which were read by the sec
retary and adopted unnrilmously :
Wliorcns , HOUS.O Hell N6. 15 , commonly
known as "tho Newborry nmxlmuin rate bill , "
has , after a protracted struKitle , been passed
by both houses of tha Nebraska legislature
In tbo semite by a very measer inajoilty ; nnd
Whereas. The effect of suld bill Is to reduce
tbo freight rates within tho.state of Nebraska
be over 50 percent , tbo ulrcut result \9bereof
ulll bo a proportionate ; ruductlon ou trallle
west of tbo Colorado and Wyoming bounda
ries ; and
Wherons , Said rcducll6u Is manifestly un
fair , unreasonable nnd ruinous : being In olTcct
u rod net ion below tlio actual cost of transpor
tation , and
Whereas , It Isamnttorof public notoriety
that said bill was drafted uy parties abso
lutely Ignorniitot the railroad business or the
coit of transacting thq Hiinio. and thnt tlio
rates named thoruln wcroiirrhcd nt without
knowledge , oxticrlonooor' judgment being , as
Is alleged , copied bodllyjfrum the lowest tariff
over lu effect In a.nolghtjnrlng state.und
Whereas Said sweeping reduction and wild
atsault upon the enriilnxs of railroad com
panies can lime but 6no result , to-wlt : im
Immediate reduction to tbo lowest practicable
limit of all operating.expenses , tbo prompt
dlschiirgo of every nn/ployo whoso sorvlecS
can by any inaka-shUtbn dispensed with , the
Instant dlseontmuancoof works of renewal ,
Imnrovcmont or construction In every de
partment of the railroad business within tbls
state , and tbo probable removal to tnoro lib-
ural jurisdictions of headquarters , machine
shops , supply depots , etc. , and ,
dWhereas , Bald results surely entail the im
mediate consequences of reduced wages ,
shortened hours , and a horde of discharged
employes , to the ulisoluto ruin of hundreds ,
the scattering of hard earned homes and fam
ilies , und the sore and cort-iln loss to every
man employed by a railroad company In Ne
braska ; now. thcioforc , bo it ,
Resolved , That we. the I iillioud employes of
the City ot Oiimlut und Douglas county , la
meeting assembled , do hereby denounce and
protest against the passage of mild so-callol
"Nowborry bill , " or any bill of llko sweenlng
mill 111 considered nature : wo bollovo sum
lilll to l > o a direct assault ' upon
the Interests of tbo wage workers
of the stnto of Nebraska , esooclally
those engaged In the operation and mtinugo-
incut of railroads , and wo bollovo th it the en
forcement of this bill will surely bo fol'owod
by u similar attack upon all other branches of
wacoearning labor ; we believe , should tbls
bill become a law. tlmt it will work disaster
to the Interests of the state nt large , to tbo
businessmen of cities anil villages alike : that
It will effectually ruin the contlciicoof oupltal
us to this stdto , already bndly shaken ; that it
Is not the legislation dcslrod by tbo masses of
the people of Nebraska , anil tlmt tbo public
expression nt the polls would show an enor
mous iiiujorlty against It ; wo bollovo It to bo
the enactment of uiiwlso. Impractical , Inov-
Dcrlcnccd , Ulltcrato aud unreasonable In
dividuals ; unjust lu Itself ana unwlso in Its
provisions ; thnt It cannot produce tbo results
claimed In Its favor and that Its enforcement
will bo In the naturuof a , minority rule. Wo
therefore must respectfully submit to bis ex
cellency onr Honorable Governor James E.
lloyd the Inexpediency of attaching to said
bill lils official signature. Illsslgnaturo alonu
can breathe Into it tbo breath ot existence ,
and wo ask that he withhold the same.
The secretary then proceeded to read the
following preamble and resolution , which
had also been presented by the committee ,
which was adopted with but ono dissenting
volco :
Whereas , \Vorld-Horuld , a newspaper
published in tlio city of Omulia. bus from tbo
tlmo of Its consolidation under Its present
mniiagoiiiont assumed the role of ana poicd
as the friend and champion of the workingman -
man , tha advocate of the wngo earner aud the
defender of the oppressed ; and
Whereas , Sntd world-Herald In Its recent
Issues has been fit to strongly advocate the
passage and approval of tlio so-culled "New-
berry maximum rate Dill" and similar bills
Introduced nt the present session of tlio Ne
braska legislature , looking to the direct ruin
of railroad Interests , and thereby the certain
Injury ot all employes of such corporations ;
Whereas , The said Wodd-IIorald has dcomcd

It was then ordered that the committee on

A Cliadroti Protest ,
Neb. , March 23. | St.eeIalTclo
pram to TUG BKB.J The article lu the
Omaha \Vorld-IIerald of March ! i7 , saying
that the Fremont , Elkhoru & Missouri Valley
loy railway company was compelling its em
ployes to sign a petition to Governor Boyd to
vote the Cowberry maximum rate bill under
threats of losing tliolr situations Is f also and
scurrilous and docs great injustice to the
employes. Each and every one who signed
the petition here did so of his own free will
and accord with a vlow to the best Interests
of the laboring classes and all concerned in
the welfare of the state , believing that if the
bill becomes a law it will work great nnd
long hardships to the laboring climes as well
as an injustice to tbo railroadswho , employ
them. All who signed the petition din so
with that end in vlow and noi by force , as
the World-Hornld would have the people of
tbo state believe.
