Reduced Kntcs for the Teachers.

LINCOLN, Neo., March Especial to The
BEE. Prof. Bessey, who has been APP
pointed railroad secretary of the state teach
ers' association for the coming meeting
which is to be held in the state university
on March %, 70 and %, has issued the follow
ing announcement with reference to the rail
road rates:
All the railroads doing business in Ne
braska have agreed to make reduction IN
the railroad fare as follows: All persons
who attend the meeting of the association
may do so at the rate OF one fare and one
third for the round trip from points in Me-
braska In order TO take advantage of this
rate, every person must take the proper cer
tifcate (Which will be furnished by the local
ticket agent), duly signed, at the office where
the ticket is purchased. The certificates
must be purchased not more than three
days previous to the opening of the
meeting In order to be valuable these
certificates must be signed by the railroad
secretary, who will have his office in the

failure to secure the proper certificate or to
have it duly signed, will make it impossible
for the reduced rate to be secured.
Parties residing along the line of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad may come directly to
Lincoln, or to Hickman, and then by the
Burlington to Lincoln. The Union Pacific
officials have notified all their agents at
junction points to honor return certificates.
Parties residing on the Rock Island Tin Ne

Lincoln. The st. Joseph & Grand Island
officials have notified all their Nebraska
agents to honor certificates. The B. & M.
and Fremont, Elkhorn g. Missouri Valley
railroad will return from Lincoln only.
The railroad secretary requests those in
tending to come to the association to note
foregoing and to be very careful to provide
the required certificates. These certificates
will not be good if offered more than three
days after the close of the meeting.
These liberal concessions will allow the
principals and superintendents who meet on
March "a to come and 40 on the reduced
rate, provided that they take the regular

scrlbed above,

insisted that the republican party was
pledged in its platform to the passage OF his

failed to make good its pleoge that fact
would put an end to the party. He was

of the country had decided that the way TO

the Problem.

the Problem.
WASHINGTON, March THE house com
mittee on postoffices, etc, today resumed
consideration of the postal telegraph. 1t
was addressed by Ralph Beaumont, chair
man Of the legislative committee of the
knights of Labor. Representative Wade
introduced in the last congress a bill for q
government telegraph embodying the
Knights of Labor views, but the bill had
died with many others. He did not think
the postmaster generals bill was a good
business proposition. What farmer would
buy half farm when he could buy whole
farm. The government was abundantly able
to buy the whole thing and to carry it on
without furnshinglbusiness opportunities for
some one else. This country now is Dracti-
cally government of corporations, by cor
poratons and for corporations DIR. Green,
said Beaumont, was solicitious about people
in the telegraph business who would be
ruined by government competltio II,
yet he was president of The cor
poraton that had repeatedly crushed
opposition companies and other people who
invested money in the telegraph business.
Witness favored the Wade bill and said the
government should own, operate and control
its own system. He admitted that IL the
Wanamaker bill resulted in cheap telegraph
rates for the people generally he would be
better pleased than with the present sys-
tenn. He wanted .the Wade bill passed, but
as all legislation was the result of COM
prom ises, he should be glad to see the
Wanamaker bill passed as the opening
wedge,
