been clearly demonstrated that on that line
OF action no progress can be made toward
free coinage. The result of this experience
has been to convince the silver committee
and all the representatives | know OF
from the silver states, that nothing is to be
gained in substantial legislation by taking
stubborn, uncompromising position. All leg
lslation on important questions is the result
of compromise and, until the friends Of free
coinage recognize this principle, there iS little
nope ofsuccess for the free coinage movement.
Its better to secure free coinage at the end of
brief time by steady legislative process
than to Indefinitely postpone that desired re-
suit by stupidity refusing to accept anything,
unless all we desire is given in the first act
passed / would be glad to see free coinage
tomorrow and hope to see it in n brief time,
II intelligence prevails among the friends of
free coinage. But under the policy pursued
by the silver men at this session despair of
living to sec the day for free silver.n
MISCELLANEOUS.
A favorable report has been made from the
house committee upon Mr. Dorsey's bIll to
pension, at $50 month, William Martin Of
Fremont, Il Mexican war veteran, and IL is
believed it will be passed at the first pension
session of the house. probably tomorrow
night.
Favorable reports having been made from
the committees on Indian affairs in both
houses upon the bills to disarm the Indians
ON reservations and prohibiting the sale OF
firearms or ammunition tothemin the future,
there is very little doubt that tho proposition
will become law within the next ten days.
This done, it is believed there will be no more
Indian outbreaks.
Representatives Conncll, Dorsey and Laws
will leave for their homes in Nebraska on
Thursday, March >, the day after congress
adjourns. Senators Manderson and Paddock
will probably not reach the state till some
time in April.
Senator Moody of South Dakota was in his
seat in the senate today, taking an active in
terest and participating in the debate upon
the Indian depreciation bill.
There will be some legislation at this ses
sion for Alaska. The bill affecting the title
of lands in that territory will likely be
among those passed. This will encourage
real estate transactions in Alaska, and will,
it is believed, result in the Improvement of
that country.
Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Russell Harrison
Will leave for Omaha tomorrow.

About To bc Introduced
Legislative Notes.

LINCOLN, Neb,, Feb. 19.-TSpccial to Tmg
BEE. The Farmers Alliance, Dictator Bur-
rows paper, contains n column letter from
Mr.. Powers, the independent candidate for
governor. IL is a review Of the gubernatoral
election, dissertation upon the rights of tho
candidate himself under the constitution, and
finally an appeal to the legislature to hear tho
case as between himself and Boyd as to the
gubernatorial chair. He makes the request
that the legislature allow him aud Mr.. Boyd
to appear, each to set forth his side of tho
question. All the time he asks for this pre-
sentation is one hour while he says Mr..
Boyd may take all the time he wants.
The request has not formally been intro
duced into either house, but it is likely that
it will be tomorrow. There is chance, how.
ever that the request will be granted
Only five days remain in which bills may
be introduced and thus far none has been in-
troduced providing for defraying the ex-
penses of the contest. 1t was announced
several days ago by one of the contestants
that the expenses of those gentlemen would
be betrayed by the farmers alliance. IL
seems, however, that there is some doubt as
to this programme being carried out.
THE BEE correspondent was informed today
that bill provting for the cost of the con-
test would be introduced in a couple Of days.
1t would call for $4,000, and 900 of this
amount would be required to repay the farm
ers' alliance the amount borrowed from it for
the purpose of holding the contest This
money was advanced some weeks ago out OF
the fund which the alliance had acquired,
and which, at one time it was sought to have
applied to the relief of the drouth sufferers.
Of this amount about 81, 800 was sent to the
needy farmers and the rest used from time
to time during the contest. The bill will
meet with very cold reception, although a
number of the members have a great deal Of

the first time today was introduced by Mr..
Stebbins Of Buffalo. The bill provides that
all state warrants shall be registered and
paid in the order of registration. All war;
rants now outstanding, which amount in the
aggregate to nearly 100000, are drawing 2
per cent dues, and the treasurer does not
even know where they are. AT the same
time there is nearly the same amount in the
treasury on which the state is not realizing a
single cent Should this bill become a law,
when the warrants are called in the interest
will cease at once and the holder will be COM
PEELED either to lose the interest or present
them for payment. Mr. Stcbbns calculates
this bill will save the state about $685. a
