THE CASE OF NEBRASKA.


An Error OfGlxty Thousand Discovered
In the Enumeration Other Population.
A Persistent Representative.
Special Dispatch to the Intelllgeneer.
WASHINGTON, February l5.-A sub-com-
mittee on Judiciary has for some time
been considering the question of giving 10
Nebraska another Representative. Since
the census Of 1870 Nebraska has claimed
that her population was not properly
enumerated and that she was entitled to
two Representatives in Congress. So for
two or three Congresses past she has
elected man named Majors to be an nd.
ditional Congressman, provided he could
get into the House. OF course, while there
was Democratic majority in the House
his case was never heard Of, ex.Speaker
Sam Randall being one Of tho most active
in preventing amy consideration of the
matter by the House. This session Mr.. Val
entine's bill was sent to the Committee
on the Judiciary, given in charge of a sub.
committee and evidence on it taken. 1t
was proven that in 1870 the Indian depre-
dations and outbreaks were so frequent
that the census Of nineteen counties, con-
tanning over 10000 people, was not taken;
that five counties supposed to contain two
hundred people was afterwards found to
contain 5000, and that in number OF
other counties there was no enumeration
taken because the Marshal had not re-
ceived the blanks early enough. In short,
it was found that instead OF containing
10000 people, less than enough for
one representative, as the census
placed it, the State had fraction
OF G0,OO0 over a sufficient number for n
Representative and was entitled to nm
other, SO the subcommittee decided to-day
by majority vote to report to the full
Committee in favor Of reporting the mat.
iavoably to the House. The matter will
be decided by party vote with the ex-
seption of Mr.. Culberlson, a Democrat,
who argues for Mr.. Mayors, and cites the
precedent Of three Democratic Congresses:
in 1923 when Alabama was given an addi.
tional Representative; lS'G, when Cali,
fornia was given two Representatives,, and
in 1860 when the same State was given an
additional Representative. Majors admis.
sion will strengthen the Republican ma.
iority in the Hoise.

LEXINGTON, KY, February l5.-The opin-

conclusion after reading the Lenten regu.

The approach Of lent is not pleasant

Wednesday TO Faster Sunday is one OF fast,

terrible enough in itself TO gourmands ac-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

And Its Effect on the Hannibal l. 81.
Joseph Road-EICetIOn OF Directors.
NEw YoRE, February l5.-Vice-Presi-
dent Duff, Of the Hannibal & St. Joe road,
snys Judge Niller's recent decision in the
suit Of that road VS.. the State Of Missouri,
contains as much that is favorable to the
company as unlavorable, and leaves the
amount in controversy between the State
and the company comparatively small
one. He says the situation is as follows:
The State has issued $1,000 900 Of 6 per cent
bonds in aid OF the road; the road has paid
the State S},000,000; the road claims that
the use OF the 5000, 900 by the State offsets
the payment Of interest on the State bonds;
the State claims it offsets it only to the ex-
tent OF the interest actually earned on the
100000. The question then becomes
merely one OF a difference OF interest. The
State has large amount Of q per cent five,
twenty bonds outstanding now subject to
call, or liable to be called within very
short period. The Missouri Legislature
passed Il law last winter for the purpose Of
appropriating this s., 100000 That law re-
quired the State officers to apply it in re-
deeming these fye.twenty bonds. The
s., 100000 can thus be issued, the greater
part Of it Immediately, and the re-
Inainder OF it within very short time in
distinguishing the G per cent Indebtedness
Of the State. l suppose the State officers
will now, Of course, comply with their own
law, and that in the meantime there will be
no claim against the Railroad Company,
except for the difference Of interest.
