[Comment by the Brx.] The books of the B. & M. rail road show the smount paid for job | work and advertising by that cor- | poration to the Omaba Herald in 1876 was considerably in excees of the amount paid durmg the same vear to the BEe. Mr. Howe risked | vothing when he made his libel- ous and slanderous charges iu in the State Seuate. The constitu- tion expressly provides that mem- | bers of the legislature shall not be lield responsible for anythivg they may say in thelr respective houses ; and Mr. Howe, taking advantage his privilege, made his libellous tiacks frem bebind that constitu ticnal rampart Like a cowardly sneak, he did not dare to name the | eorporation that has subsicized the | editor of the BEE, although the nat- ural inference was that it must be be the prevention of crime, but in fmvlrllng for ihe puuishment and | operative, from the very fact that it | makes both parties, the bribe-giver and tbe bribe-taker, 8 criminal; #nd Hence bars out any posisbility ot proof under the ordinary precau: | tions taken by men engaged in that Kind of business, Noman will be fool enough to criminate himself as long asthe law gives him the privi- | lege of evading it. The objeet of the law declaring bribery a crimi- nal {transaction, is to protect the | | public agalnst fraudulent and dis- | bonestofficials. 1fthelaw only made theofficer who accepts # bribe ctim- | nally liable, there would be less of | that character of crimes committed because of the constant danger which would thteaten the crimina- ted party, and men who bity offi- clals could atany time be compelled to testify upon such matters without be'ng endangered by trutbful and fearless testimony. As it now isa | legislator may demand and receive any money coneideration for his vote for a U. 8. senator, and though | it may be evident by a thousond circumstantial proofs, neither can be punished or proven guilty, simply because neither can be made to tes- tify before a court i the matter pertaining to th transsction. oo i GEN.
