nnd in which ins record , public nnd

Nebraska's life and Nebraska' progress.
'I'wleo scloctud to represent bis Htnto
in the United States Donate , Mr. I'ad-
clock is now completing bis second sena
torial term , entered upon nearly six
years ago , at an interval of six years
after the conclusion of his first con-
pi cssional Horvico. But three months
more of active legislative work remains
before the books of the Fifty-second
coiif > rosrt will bo balanced and closed.
Senator Paddock's record will then be
completed. Jivon now little can bo
added to or nubstractcd from the sum
total as it will appear when the coldmns
are footed. The rccosb , between the
long and short scsHioiiH affords , there

for reviewing ills work and for opening
the pages of the rocotd to thofeo whose
Interest is the greatest and whobo riirbt
to know every detail is unquestioned.
The concise sketch in the congres
sional directory , presumably furnished
by himself , gives in J > rief space the
mile-stones of Senator Paddock's life.
It is ns follows :
"Algernon S. Paddock of Beatrice ,

term of service will expire March JJ ,

Senator Paddock's borvicos as secre
tary of the territory are remembered by
the old sot tiers. Hevas earnest , in
dustrious and enthusiastic in the work
of raising troops for the war of the re'
bolllon and in onlsling | militia for the
protection of the settlers from Indian
ineursionH. Ills study of frontier con
ditions and his experience with the
various questions which constantly
arose under the newly passed land laws ,
and the progress of settlement proved
invaluable to him afterwards at Wash
ington in urginir recognition of No'
braska donands based on conditions
then exihting. The subjects of settle
incut under the land laws , Indian dnp
redations , school land selections , nur
voys and resurveys , .the needs of tin
border for military protection , the
Indian question au it exists in iti
practical application to eucroachinj
civilization and not ns dis
cussed in theoretical treatises , won
necufBiirily f unlliar to him. As a territorial
ritorial olllclal ho iiad learned the shor

partmont * and the methods best sultoi
to avoid the wearisome delays am

Ill * rinit TOUII ,
Senator Paddock's first sanatoria
term boi an with the Fortyfou congress
gross , in 187,3. ' A losumo of his topis
hitivo work shows that during tha
period ho Introduced 120 bills , p.imoi
twenty-six of them in the senate , sav
nine of them enacted Into laws , ad
dreused the bunate 110 timed and madi
twenty wiltten reports.
Duiinir the Forty-fourtli corigros
Ronatpr i'addoolc passed the imporiun
bill for the relief of bottlers uudtii- tin
p-o-einntioii laws who
, were sulTorer
from the grasshopper vUUutlun iu Nebraska
braska , a bill changing the time c
holding courts in Nebraska and a mons
uie lucroaaltiff the uuinbov of pea
outos In thtvt itato. Ho secured
the first specific river nnd harbor ap
propriation tor Improvement on Ne
braska shores. Ho reported the timber
culture bill In the nennto , nnd was chtiir-
mnn of tha conference committee which
perfected tlmt monsure nnd secured Its
passage as a law ; passed the bill for the
flaio of the Oleo and Missouri reserva
tion R'U , y nmondtncnts to .appropria
tion bills , oecured Increased postal facil
ities in Nebraska ; the opening of roads
to the Black Hills anil appropriations
for river Improvement In the state.
Among other Important legislation in
which Senator Paddock participated In
this , his first , congress was that allow
ing the time of commuted pre-emptions
to bo reckoned from the date of the fil
ing of the pre-emption claim and the
bill to conllrm certain school indemnity
lands In Nebraska.
In the various speeches which ho made
In this congress Senator Paddock advo
cated the removal of the Sioux Indians
from the Nebraska frontier , proposed an
amendment to the timber depredation
bill by * which , during the rush of settlers
into thoUlack HUls , they were exempted
from tlio prohibition of tlmbor cutting
on the public lands , suggested the com
pulsory cltlonship of Inditu.s in order
to inulce them amenable- the laws as
well as entitled to legal protection ,
defended the bottlers pushing into
the Black Hills from the charges
made against their character in
the aoiiato and vainly urged
Unit arms should bo issued them for
their protection , predicting two months
hufoto it occurred the Custor imuisticro.
He spoke earnestly for prompt incro.isud
appropriations for land surveys in the
west and especially for Nebraska , and
for measures to Increase thooiltelcncy of'
the land ollico and for the relief of
settlors.
With the opening of the Forty-fifth
congress Senator Paddock became chair-
in in of the committee on agriculture ,
and during both sessions devoted much
time fostering this important interest
Ho spoke and worked in fuvorof the bills
enacted into luw regulating the trans
portation of live stock , for preventing
the spread of infectious diseases among
cattlu , and making inquiry into insectb
injurious to agriuulture. IIo made an
exhaustive speech uuon the culture of
agricultur.il intoicsls , urging govern
ment aid in extending sciontltlc educa
tion through agricultural colleges and
strongly urging reciprocity treaties
with South American countries in order
toalToid an outlet for our agricultural
surplus. IIo advocated the upbuilding
of the fish commission aud fought tha
reduction of thu force in the Agricul
tural department. Ho was us energetic
lib over in the interosts'of his stato. He
secured the establishment of Fort Nio-
brara bv an .iinondmont to thu military
appropriation bill , passed a bill to relieve
lievo settlers on the Otoo reservation
from the too rigid construction of the
law , insoitud an amendment in the bill
reported by the public lands committee
securing to weekly newspaper * , the pub
lication of notices of intention to make
linal proof and anticipated boot culture
by ton yo.ira by proposing a libur.il ap
propriation to iiHostlgnto the capacity
of this country for such diversification
of its agriculture. In addition ho se
cured an approormtion of $20,000 for
river improvement at Brownvillo aud
Plattsmouth.
During this congress Senator Pad
dock waited on each and every member
of the appropriations committee , and
secured their consent to an amendment
appropriating $80,000 for a headquarters
building nt Fort Omaha , which action
prevented the lomovul of the head
quarters of the Department of the
Platte to Fort Loavonworth. It is in
teresting to note that at thid early day
after the demonetization of silver ,
fourteen years ago , Senator Paddock
in a speech , pronounced against mono
metallism , and announced himself "in
favor of the most liberal coinage at
and tlio fullest practical u oof siUor , "
while ho defended the arroars-of-peti-
aions bills , "because the principle in
volved Is jtibt and proper.1'
The close of the Forty-sixth congress
ended Senator Paddock's first senatorial
term. His principal legislative work
during this congress was through the
agricultural and public lands commit-
lees , both of which considered subjects
of wido-reaching importance to the
west. AB chairman of the agricultural
committee' ho Inaugurated an investi
gation into thu contagious diseases of
domestic animals which was the begin
ning of subsequent legislation of vast
importance , whoso effects huvo boon to
practically stamp out Texas fever nnd
plouro-pnoumonia in the United States
and throw down the barriers in the
path of our export trade. Years
afterwards the senator was able to
complete the work thus parly inaugur
ated by his action in passing the
meat and cnttlo inspection bills ,
which are now on the statute books. It
wns in this congress that Senator Pad
dock made n most porsibtont and de
termined light for the claim of Nebraska
for 3 per cent of the "proceeds of the sale
of lands disposed of as Indian reservations -
tions on tared under military sc'-ip and
agricultural land warrants. The debate
occupied a largo portion of the time of
tliq Honnto from February 10 until Feb
ruary 2" , 1880. Senator Paddock led
tho-dobato and made a protracted speech
on behalf of Nebraska's rights , v.'hluh
General Logan declared to bo by fur
the best delivered on the sub
ject. It wns In this congress
that Senator Paddock made earnest ef
forts to secure congressional action in
favor of a general bill to adjudicate Iu-
dlan depredation claims , n subject
which remained unadjusted until twelve
years later , when he had the pleasure
of taking charge of the bill and passing
it through the senate and conference
committees ana Booing it at last enacted
into a law. Ueforo the close of the
Forty-sixth congress Senator Paddock
passed his bill confirming the home
stead entries on the Fort Ko.irnoy mili
tary reservation , providing lor the pale
of the remainder of thoOtoe reservation
and soourlng'a now military depot and
storehouse nt Omaha , Singular as
It seems , looking so far back , he
strongly advocated , artesian wells Cot
irrigation purposes nnd urged govern
uiont appropriations for the muno.
Senator Piuldock closed his six years
service with a record of faithful performance
formanco of duty both at the uapltol anc
among the departments , and loft boh hit
him the reputation of a senator who but
been connected with no scandal overt bj
inference and whoso energies had beet
expended in the interests of his state
his section and his party.
Utuli Ciiuiinunliiii.
The interval of six years botweoi
Senator Paddock's departure from th <
senate nnd his return to enter upon hi
second nnd present term was spoilt It
attention to hid private business at homo
long neglected , mid iu torvlco upon tin
Utah commission , to which he was up
pointed by President Arthur In 788J
Senator Paddock assisted In the organ
Izutlon of the Utah commission , 3111
during' hie connection w Ith it was a , irios
valuable and ollleient member , it \ vain
in no small degree duo to his labors tha
tlio foundation was laid for the subsequent
quont abandonment of polygamy by th
Mormon church and the division of thn
I people upon party linos. It was a ne\
Held , but ho entered upon its duties wit
t that faithful devotion which has boo
the chief characteristic of hit ofnclil
course , Thn scope of the commission's
authority under the law , the methods of
operation , the forms of procedure , nil
had to bo originated nnd defined Tact
was to bo joined to firmness , and the
Mormons taught that the laws at last
were to bo obeyed or their penalties
rigidly enforced.
When Senator Paddock left the com
mission in 18S7 , resigning his olllco to
engage in the senatorial camp-den , the
Work had boon accomplished. The Ed
munds-Tucker law was at laal supremo.
I'olygamlsts everywhere were disfran
chised. These who declined to obey the |
law were either in prison or In hiding j
For the first time the Mormons began to
understand that polygamy was a crime
ami must bo abandoned , nnd what )
was quite as important , that ,
the union of church and state could
not bo maintained. The report of the {
commission for 1887 , which wns written ,
bv benator Paddock , gave a careful re
sume uf the work of the commission and '
predicted the approach of tlie end. j
Today polygamy has been abandoned by
decree of the church , the Mormons have
divided into political parties nnd have
boon recognized by both national con
ventions , and congress is meditating J
the earlv admission of the territory AS a '
state The liberals of Utah have given
full recognition to the faithful work of
Senator Paddock on their behalf
and in consequence of their
confidence in his ability nnd fairness ho
Ins been called throughout his second
term to act us Utah's representative in
the senate. For nearly six years ho hus
acted as the unpaid spokesman for the
Christian people of Utah nnd has re
ceived general commendation for his
cheerful and earnest efforts in behalf of
the work of Americanizing that terri
tory.
III * Second Term 1'lltlulli Coital ? .
Senator Paddock entered upon hU
second term of sorvlce in the senate
with the opening of the Fiitioth con
gress in Docambor , 1897. His assign
ment to committees brought bun to
those on ngrk'ulturo and forestry , pub
lic land * , pensions , audit nnd control and
thn improvement of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries , of which last
he was made chairman. The work of
two of these committees was familiar to
him on account of his previous sorvlco.
Ho was on terms of personal friendship
with most of the senators and boon became -
came acquainted pleasantly with the
remainder. Ho had loft behind him in .
the senate six years before a leputation '
for hard work , gentleness of manners I
and an acquaintance with the amenities '
of life , which stood him in good btead |
and smoothed the road for legislative
work.
At the close of the toeurs . , his ,
ecord showed that out _ of 248 bills and
osolutions either introduced or ro-
'orted by Senator Paddock , the extra
ordinary number of 143 became laws ,
seventeen more passed congress but
ivoro vetoed , fourteen were adversely
reported while only savonty-two failed
to receive tinal action by congress. |
Senator Paddock during this congress
introduced forty-live bills , of which
twenty-one wore public and twenty pri
vate. Of thcso twenty passed the sen
ate and twelve became laws. He passed
In the senate the bill for a public build
ing at Bqatrico , for a briri ge nt Nebraska
City , two acts for the relief of settlers on
the public domain ( trie bill to create the
Broken Bow and Alliance larid ollicos.tho
bill for the s'llo of the Fort Sodgwick
military reservation and ton bills pen
sioning Nebraska veterans wlio had
failed to obtain relief through the poiit
sion ollico. In addition , he passed his
bills for the appointment of an add
tional justice for the supreme court o
Utah and for a public building at Salt
Lake City. And the provision , pre
sented by himself , for payment to the
state of Nebraska on account of 5 per
Pont arising from the sale of public
lands in said state prior to June 30 ,
'
1SSS , 335,500.
His work on committees during this
congress was remarkable. Ho was one
of ho most earnest and devoted mom-
bora of the committee on pensions , at
tending every mooting of that committee -
too Rod defending its liberal treatment
of the old soldiers on the floor of the
eonnto against those who attempted to
bc.lHUo their labors and their claims on
the nation's bounty. Ho reported 177
bills from the pensions committee , of
which seventy-live were written reports ,
Involving personal investigation of
thousands of papers from the tllosof the
pension oQlco. Of these 12-1 became
laws and soruntoon wore vetoed byjros-
ident Cleveland. His record of work on
the committee on pensions during this
congress was the largest of that of'any
member of the committee , and his record -
ord of success in pushing the bills
through the semite afterwards and fol
lowing them over to the house until
their final passage , will boar comparison
,7ith that of any other senator among
/ > | & associates.
from the committee on public lands
DO reported thirteen bills , of which ton
jasaod the senate and five became laws ,
\inong those latter were the bills for
the sale of the old Camp Shori-
dao military reservation in Nebraska
and the bill giving land otlicors
discretion to extend the time for mak
ing final proof whore unavoidable
delay or accident had prevented com
pliance with the law. Ho is credited
with eight reports from the committee
on contingent expenses , and one from
the committee on agriculture. "
As chairman of the committee on
the improvement of the Mississippi rlvor
and its tributaries , Senator Paddock at
once- inaugurated an exhaustive investi
gation into prevailing methods of river
improvement. For the first time in ten
years the committee hold weekly meetIngs -
Ings and showed signs of life. Cn-
gineors and army olllcors in charge of
river work were called befoio the committee
mittoo , hearings were held on
various plans suggested , and
the testimony printed with the report
An Investigation was also had of the
question wholho rtho Union Pacific
bridge at Om.iha was il\V obstruction to |
navigation as wns alltstfqcl In a sonata
resolution Introduced.'And referred to
the committee , and ft\vrittcn , report
made on this subject vvtifcli disposed ot
the question.
Among thn importnllf Subjects of leg
islation upon which BtMlntor Paddock
Introduced bills during the Fiftieth
congress was the erection of buildings
for po toflico3 In nil town * where the
annual receipts exceeded a fixed amount
during a given time. His bill was the
first oxer formulated o'n'tllo subject and
was accented In almost "Its entirety by
the committee ) on public grounds nnd
buildings In formulating tholr committee -
too hill which passed } lo ) senate in the
Fifty-second congress. Ho Introduced
also a general Indian depredation bill
and nblll for the relief of settlers on the
Oleo reservation.
Senator Paddock nddresied the sonalo
sixteen lines during the Fiftieth con
gress. It Is interesting to note that the
subjects which ho discussed had with
few exceptions n direct reference to the
interests of his state nntl his section.
Ho put himself on record as a western
senator first , last and nil. the time. Ho
attacked the administration for its
neglect of western mall service In a.
speech , proving conclusively that the
west was being seorlllcod in this respect
for the bonetitof the south and east ,
Ho advocated an amendment to the
railroad land grant ( orfeituro bill pro
tecting settlers along the lines who had
purchased Iu good fait' from the com
panies and built tholr homos under such
titlo. tlo denounced Iho outrageous
stories of abandoned farms and whole
counties in Nebraska mortgaged beyond
redumption as a slander on the
state which would work irretrievable
disaster unless promptly denied. Ho
spoke on vai ions agricultural topics in
favor of upbuilding Iho bureau of a nl-
mtil Industry In Its work of stamping out
diseases among cattle , opposed the abolition
lition of the Missouri rlvor commission
and defended lopublican pension legis
lation. And in addition to this mass of
legislative work , ho day by day , in his
otlico and through visits to department
after department disposed of an amount
of correspondence and transacted a line
of departmental business ( or his con
stituency which kept a stenographer
aud a clerk In addition to himself busy
talcing his dictation and keeping the
record books.
' 'With the Fifty-first congress Senator
Paddock bocitno chairman of the senate
committee on agriculture and added
membership on the newly created com
mittee on Indian depredation claims to
his previous duties. The preceding
congress had sat 321 days , making it the
longest session of congress over hold.
Its successor was to fall only seventeen
days short of that duration. The record
of Senator Paddock's legislative work in
the 304 days of the Fifty-first congress
can be briully opiton ! zol ns follows :
Of 27" mils and rosoluUiwis either intro
duced or reported Uy him no less than
183 became laws. In dddHiOn ho secured
legislative action bv.fOUi' amendments
to appropriation blll3ut , ) f nmoollorod ,
mudo twelve motioiy > , ahd ) resolutions
and 200 reports froim committees. Of
seventy-one bills andtresolutlons intro-
duce'd and offered by- Senator Paddock
ninotocu passed the sbniite and thirteen
became laws. Amottg flioso wore the
bill for the sale of ihoF6rt Sedgwick
military reservation"Syhich ho had
passed in the senate. ! q the previous
congress , the Beatricepublic building
bill , the bill croatincrt'Uie Broken Bow
and Alliance land districts the bill to
transfer the weather'-Unreau to the Ag
riculture department , jhp bill to pro
vide for the inspection ol cattle vessels
in the export trade , , the , bill to increase
the number of agricultural reports an
nually printed , and six pension bills for
veterans in Nebraska or their widows.
In addition he passed through the bPnato
his bill for the relief of the settlers on
the Otoe and Missouri resoruitions.
Annlysisof Senator PAddock's legis
lative work in this congress brings out
more clearly than any more summary
can , the faithful devotion to otlicial duty
and the untiring indlistry of the Ne
braska benator. Lot us look at it by
committees. And first of the committee
on agriculture and forestrj' , of which ho
was chairman. The importance of this
committee had been heightened by the
increasing demands on the part of the
agricultural interests for recognition by
congress. Senator Paddock at once
mapped out for himeolf and the commit
tee the lines of work which he intended
should be followed. Thtfso included :
1. Measures for the unbuilding of the
inlluonco and strengthening the oa
pacity of the Department of Agricul
turo.
2. The pushing of methods to increase
the export trade in American agricul
tural pioducts.
8. Inquiry into freight rates charged
for the transportation of western agrl
cultural products.
4. Protection alike of the fannor'i
pocket and the public stomach through
laws prohibiting food adulteration
fl. Forest protection nnd a genera
forest law as vital to agricultural prosperity
pority , aso \ \ us to a continued timber
supply ; and ,
0. Stimulation of the culture of th
sugar boot and dissemination of infer
mation us to motnods and profi
thereof.
1. It had boon in no small degree dm
to Senator Paddock's ' oll'orts that in tin
Fiftieth congress the ureuuof agriculture
turo hud \ > eon made a department of tin
government and its head a cnbino
ollicer. Senator Paddock now sot t <
work'to enlarge its functions by placing
under its control the fish commission
an ollico engaged purely in food pro
ductions , and by increasing the facllitie
for caltlo and meat inspection under it
authority. Ho madeta determined ef
fort to have the annual agricultural ap
propriation bill taken from the appro
priation committee im'd transferred to
the agriculture commTttl'o' . in order Unit
