- ; In a hrlet review oC the work oC this most
" discreditable of all recent sessions It must
, ho said al the outset that Ile house has heft
hehlll I n cleaner record than the senate.
. Upon Iw wholl. the republican majoriy In
. .i . the house has ben more Inlellelllent , oC the
4 corrupting Infuenco oC the lobby , more In
earnest In its erorts to accomllsh ( legislatIon
4 favorable 10 the interests of lhl people and
j prompter In its efforts to accomplish the
Iluhlc business. I has been only within the
. past few days that the hOlso has shown
. unmlstnlclle bery symptoms of venality and Jab-
. . . On the other hand , the conduct oC the sonle
. - > ate has been of n diametrically opposIte
' characler. From the day the ( senate con.
vened . on New Yenr's day , down to the moment -
ment ot the final adjournment , the upper
Uller
I branch oC the legislature was under the dom-
- Inaton at the most unscrupulous combination
that has ever misshaped legislation In Ne-
brska , The republican majority In the sen-
ate made but little pretense oC considering
bills on their merIt. Private Interests elbowed -
bowed public interests from the very start ,
and It was rarely that thuD public interest got
' the advantage.
