Mr. WENTWORTH. Mr. Speaker, therd is a vast deal of difference between being for a Pacific railroad and being for a particular kind of railroad covering or inteiide to cover the same ground. Now. there is no individual here, nor is there an individual whose constitquents are more interested in a northern Pacific railroad than mineare. We of the Northwest, geilurilliyflllb deeply interested in a bill for a northwestern Pacific railroad; but we have always before when abili of this kind, involving millions, came 11 here allowed it to be dis; cussed and let everybody talk about it who wanted to do it; at least we were always willing to give our friends a, fair and impartia hearing. But, Mr. Speaker, I have myself always distrusted any bill that broughtwith it a “ lobby. I have alWays distruste any hill where that class of men known as “the lobby” have to o behind my constituents and get them to instruct me. Now, sir, I have lived in my district since I was 21 years of age. I know about everybody there, and about everybody there knows me and yet this class of men have thought that they could instruct me about a matter involving the interests of my constitui ents among whom I have lived and among whom I expect to die, Within the last 3 days I have had sent to me 19 extracts from western papers, not to speak of sundry instructions from the Chicago card of Trade. Now, I hope that the man who went out there and "ot up those instructions for me got his er tom and mileage. [Laughter and if fie cannot get other jobs of this kin, then let some one try to get him the place of a clerk of one of our committees or recommend him to a dam in some of the depts. ow, the 1st knowledge I had of this bill was conveyed to me by a constituent of inine, who state that there Was some effort being made to create public feclinr in favor of this bill. “But, H he says, “I think there is some trick in it; you better watch the bill, I fear they Want to change the location for it looks to us as if it was intended to he a Canada road.” Now, I supposed that when this matter came up I would be alIOWed to know something about it, to have a chance toexaniinc a subject that so interests the cat Northwest. But I do not know an thin a out it.
