I irake of the Standard Bridge company

Is not surprising that the real facta con
cerning; thin bill have not before this time
been thoroughly understood by the public.
There1" have been from time to time," be
ays, "nines connected with the letting of
bridge, eontracta, as is common with all
matters of public contract, wherein per
haps contractors taay have unduly bene
fited by some peculiar circumstance in
tolved In some contract. "But the bill pro
poned to be enacted presents such oppor
tunity for far greater wrongs than any
thing heretofore, which might have been
rrltlcised. Is dwarfed Into Insignificance.
That It should be deemed advisable to en
trust to one man, honorable though he
may be, the control of a million dollars'
worth of contracts wittlout such party
being answerable to any power, save only
tViat of his Individual honor, and tha source
cf his appointment, would seem to place
confidence 'beyond reason In the strength

something, more than is provided In this

nre has been not less than Ss.on a year, or a
total of IIO.OTO for the biennial term nould
be necessary to properly and fslthfully
carry out Its provision. In connection
with this, ss a person of considerable ex
perience with the work Involved, to prop
erty administer the provisions of this mess
ure if It becomes a law I say personally
that I do not think his estimate Is really
high enough, and for my own Interests If
It should become a law I can only hope for
a faithful and thorough administration of
all Its provision. To slight the measure by
a small appropriation for Its enforcement is
to result almost certainly In an inefficient
and consequently bad administration of Its
provisions. The public sholild understand
that this bill, if administered for the pur
pose for which I apprehend the Interests
outside of the legislature have been push
ing It. will result In great loss to the tax
payers and to the practical obliteration of
the general bridge contracting business,
and In this connection I desire to call at
tention to the interests which will be bene
fited In the event that It is so administered
that Is the Interests of the lumber and
grain trusts operating the line lumber
yard systems through this state. That It
Is of sufficient Interest to these people to
engage their attention and support Is evi
denced by the fact that not less than $100.
000a year, a most modest estimate, would be
added directly to the revenues of this lum
ber trust if the bill in Its administration Is
operated as I anticipate they will en
deavor to see that It Is. Is a fact; and It
should be spparent that with a stake of
a,ooo profit biennially (the term of the
secretary of the Board of Irrigation being
two years) It ought not to be difficult for
the grain and lumber trusts to control this
one state appointment, allied aa they are
through the line elevators, lumber yard
systems, with the railroad Interests of this
state.
Who Will Re Renefltedf
"In whatever light the public reads any
of the matter published in connection with
this measure they should remember always
this one question, Who will be benefited by
the enactment of this measure? Its very
framers do not claim to be certain of the
result of Its application. Indeed. In con
versation with some of its supporters they
have said to me that they believed It would
Increase the price of the bridges generally
throughout the state. But from my knowl
edge I tan only see that Its result is to
throw this business Into the hands of the
lumber-grain trusts. They are the people
wno nave always been behind efforts to
pass such legislation and they .certainly
are the parties at interest, their friends,
tne railroad companies always working In
connection with them. These associated
railroad, grain and lumber Interests have
banded themselves together for the pur
pose of securing the passage of house roll
2M. They have undoubtedly made an adroit
fight, most skillfully covering up their own
tracks. They have deluded and deceived
good men. many of them from the rural
districts, into believing the bill will be a
boon to the taxpayer. By so appealing to
the prejudice and passions of these honest
men the allied corporations have managed
to align some of the farmer element of the
house to pull this large. Juicy chestnut out
of the fire for the benefit of the railroad,
elevator and lumber interests. There are
many, however, of the members outside of
the lnrger towns who understand full well
the exactions of the grain-lumber trusts,
who are understanding the import of this
attempted .neaaure. The complaint has
been made, strangs as it may seem, by
some of the railroad, grain-lumber elo
mcnt that I was keeping several of the
employes of my concern, whose very bread
and butter depends on the bridge building
business, here in Lincoln 'lobbying, as they
have seen fit to call It. If it la lobbying In
the offensive use of the term to oppose a
measure which Is designed to extinguish an
otherwise honest business carried on by
honest, hardworking men and1 so destroy
these men's means of livelihood' for the
benefit of so grasping a, concern as the
grain -lumbii' trust, theaialWl may say Is
that my Idea of what lobbying really is has
been all wrong. These men have had no
moans nor used any means common to the
lobbyists except such means as are 'common
to every worklngman when he desires to
get from the officials of the state the pro
tection which they are Sh duty bound to
give him.

O'NEILL, Neb., March 13. (Special.) It
has been snowing here most of the time
during the last two days and while a con
siderable per cent has melted as fast as
It fell, there Is yet about six Inches of
snow on the ground which Is slowly melt
ing. The farmers are greatly pleased with
the snow and say that the ground was
never in better shape at this time of the
year for a good bumper crop of nil kinds.
The stock men In this country never
passed through a better winter than this
year. All were prepared with sheds and
plenty of hay and the severe winter weather
caused no losses to speak of among the
stock men. Holt county has the reputa
tion of producing more hay than any other
county In the United States, and it cornea
In useful during such winters aa we had last
winter. Aside from the large amount of
hay fed to stock last winter, there Is now
being shipped from this county close to a
train load of hay each day and hundreds
of tons are being stored In the mammoth
warehouses located at the railroad stations
In the county. The individuals in the
county have more than $600,000 on de
posit In the various banks and are now
marketing cream to the value of about
11,000 per week. They are therefore in
condition to feel proud of results and have
the very brightest prospects for the future.

of the car and engine and stepped back on
the track to look at the marks on the
freight cars that he and his comrades were
engaged In switching.
Foreman L. L. Burnett, who was only a
short distance away, saw the peril of his
helper and shouted to him to get out of the

time and it was evident that the doomed
man did not hear aa ha paid no attention
to the warning voice of the foreman.

Finds Insufficient Evidence.
WASHINGTON, March 13. In the peon
ago case of Samuel M. Clyatt against the

with ."returning" to Involuntary servitude
iwo negroes named Gordon and Ridley.
The opinion was handed down by Justice
Brewer, and while It upheld the constitu
tionality of the law for tho punishment of
peonage, it held that as (tho record failed

been In custody, the charge of "returning"
them could not be sustained.

To the Teople of Nebraska:
Your attention is called to the fact that an attempt is being
made by a group of associated railroad, grain and lumber inter
ests gathered at Lincoln to pass a bill known as house roll No. 255,
by which the taxpayers of Nebraska will be
o)Fo)
Knowing their power in legislative matters for many years.
I have, up to this time, refrained from uncovering their interest
in the fight, but they have undertaken to fasten so iniquitous a
measure on the taxpayers of the state that I have decided to give
to the
PUBLIC
the truth about what is being done.
I invite every reader of The Uee to read the facts as presented
above on this page of the paper.
The railroad, grain and lumber interests of this state arc so
allied that their interests are inseparable.
On my own behalf all I ask is
ran
PLOT.
