A CHEEKY

Mr.. Coipetzer, Of Douglas, has in
troduced a bill in the Legislature the
aim of which is eaid to BIO to secure
safe crossings for railroad tracks in
| cities of the first class. It's real object
Is to shift upon Taxpayers a portion
of an expense which In every other
community Is borne By tho corpora.
tions themselves. There is no reason
why the people of Omaha should be
permitted to issue bonds fer the pur.
pose of making railroad crossings safe.
That is the duty of the corpora
lions themselves. The city has
the pov or TO compel them to
build and construct such spprosche s
to railroad street crossings and to
maintain such safeguards in the way
Of gates and barriers a. 1t may deem
fit. The franchise to occupy the
streets given to the railroads by the
city, carries with..it the duty Of pro.
tecting life endangered by the exer-
else of the franchise. This is every
where recognized outside of Omaha.
In Chicago the Illinois Central has
built at it's W expense a granite and
iron viaduct over its tracks on the
lake front. In Buffalo, the New York
Central, for the better protection of
life at street crossings and to save
damage suits against the corporation,
has constructed an elevated track of
owe a mile in length. In all large
cities the corporations have been
forced to erect gates acress the streets
where crossings are on the level and
to build substantial bridges with &C.
cepsible approaches where the tracks
are laid below the level of the
crossing.
And why should the citizsns of On.
aha who have donated hundreds of
thousands of dollars to subsidize the
corporations, who have reoklessly
voted away the most valuable portions
of the city to give every facility for
the t%rannaction of business by the
railroads, now put their hands in their
pockets and pay for making the street
crossings safer They might as well
be asked to pay for maintaining watch
men at the depots or in the yards. 1t is
he height of cheeky iIapudence in
he corporations to demand of the
people aid in protecting the public
rom the danger of street occupation
oy the railroads, and the liability of
suits from tho victims of their
.atal economy.

Correspondence OF Omaha Bee.

LINCOLN, Neb., January 9.-The
first bills of the session were yester-
day started on their winding way from
tho house. Nc bills have yet appeared
in the senate, although it is probable
that this morning will see a basket full
introduced in each house, and it is
more than likely that a large share of
them will pertain to railroads. Some
have said that there are now ready

FIFTY BILLS
of this nature already prepared and
ready to be introduced.
Yesterday was An anxious day In
the house as it was known that
Speaker Humphrey was to announce
the standing committees for that body.
At 2:30 the Speaker appeared and the
committees were read off aud when
we say that there was a vast amount
of dissatisfaction with the railroad
committee I do not half express the
real sentiment in that body.
There is no use mincing the matter
and hoping against hope. Speaker
Humphrey has not done the fair
thing with this committee, and it will
be useless for him to try to convince
the people Of Nebraska that t%wo'thirdr
of this committee are not
In THE INTEREST OF THE RAILRoAI
CORPORATIONS,
and that he knew this to be a fact
when he selected them; and what we
have said concerning the fairness Of
this one committee Is equally true in
regard to the others. One would nat
urally suppose that the railroads made
the railroad committee, and that Bosl
Stout dictated these that are liable tt
deal with that portion of the worl
which might interest him. But
thanks to the senate, the people Cal

it should pass the notice of the house

will have to read the bills that are
presented in a distinct manner, and
call the roll of the house in a gentle
manly way. This turning from two
to ten pages of a bill at a time and
pretending to read 1t when he does
not, and calling the roll at a lightning
rate, without giving members a chance
to vote is about played odt. In other
words this practice Of allowing the
chief clerk to make the records as he
thinks best, and report members pres
ent when they are not, and absent
when they are present, if it should be
considered necessary, has come to an
end. Hereafter we are convinced
that there will be- a change or there
will be war. There are members who
ava not disposed to sit still aud see
the constitution and the rules of the
house openly violated every hour of
the day and not enter a protest.

THE REYNOLDS RESOLUTION,

which passed the senate yesterday
and went to tho house for considera-
ton, ia creating quite a bre, ze and
meeting With considerable opposition.
This resolution empowers the special
committee which it creates to send for
persons and papers,. and under it the
railroads are beginning to realize that
they may have to show up some of
their secret workings. The tactics
will probably be to amend it in the
house for the purpose of delay, but if
