The debate on the motion to table
this report was very warm and con.
tinucd up till noon with Brown, Of
Doug'as, Dsch and Harrison against,
and Butler and Brown, of Lancaster
for the motion to table. which was
finally carried by 16 to 10. F..
MILLIONS VOTED AWAY.
During the day the senate voted
away about d million Of money. Some
of the claims allowed were honestly
due from the state, but many of them
were down right steals. These steals
came In the general appropriation bill,
In the salary bill, in the miscellaneous
bill, In special bills, and In every
imaginable way. The commissioner OF
public lands and buildings has been
given not less than 800, 600 to dispose
among his political frienda, his unc'e,,
nephews, cousins and his sunts.
A FoRLoRN HOPE.
Reynolds offered the following rssolu.
ton:
WHEREAS, There Is yet q possibility
that by this legislature remaining In
session for q few days sor,a laws may
DO enacted that will In part meet the
demands Of the people who havo sen'
us here, therefore I move that TIL,
resolution heretofore adopted hy thC
senate to adjourn, be now recon
sidered In order that the people of thi'
state may receive some of the relic!
they have q right tolexpect at oul
hands, and whese servants we are.
Pending confederation OF this mo
ton, the senate adjourned until 1:3(
p. m.
In the afternoon Reynolds motor
made just before recess wac called ur
and was lost.
AND NONE WERE SAVED.
1t ia very apparent from the actions
of this body to-day, the last hours Of
the session, that our system of making
laws Is by no mean perfect. Eve
since the state had an existence tn,
thieves that hang around the state fol-
the two years previous to each session
of the Legislature and veal their sum
mer clothes all winter, gather In thil
city for the purpose of working
through some imaginary claim; the!
understand the ground, for they hav'
been over 1t year after year and the,
hardly ever fail, and let it be recorded
now that not a single claim out of tn,
many scores that were presented t,
the senate Of Nebraska for their ap
proval, failed to pass.
