)\ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE HOW DEMOCRATS ECONOMIZE ! They Will Let Vital Interests Suffer to Make a Record, IT WILL FALL HEAVILY ON THE WEST Nehraska Particularly Will Feol the of the False Policy —Sweeping Redu Made in All Appropr s Regard- less of Logitimate Demands, 3 FOURTEENTI STRERT, Wasiixatoy, b, C.. Feb, 27. The house appropriations committee mem- Bers are determined that in their remaining appropriation bills they will live up to their idea and policy of “reform.” Mr. Dockel who i3 chairman of the subcommittes for tho District of Columbia, will report his bill to the full committee on Monday moraing and expocts to have it in the house Ly Monday afternoon. He claims that he will save 8300,- 000 on the bill this year, and it is character- istic of the democratic party that the prin- cipal reductions in the appropriations aro made in providing for free schiools in the Dis- trict of Columbia. No less than $200,000 is thus cut out of the school fund. Judge Sayres, who is in charge of the sun- dry civil bill, expects to have that bill in the house by the end of the week. He has mado the most sweeping roductions in it thatare made in any appropriation bil and claims that he will “save" £10,000,000. There is no particular cut at any point, according to his statements, but svory item has been reducod from last year's appropriations. There are ieally no appropriations for public ngs, and the house has before it now a resolution providing that thero shall be no appropriations made whatever for public buildings. Both Mr. Dockery and Judge Sayres claim that they will get their bills through the house practically us they will come from the committee and’ they will mnot in confer- enco permit the senate to make any sub- stantial increase. The onterprises in and developments of the west will receive a serious setback by the appropriation bills rrcpnred by this Louse. The postoftice and odian and public land branches of the gov. ernment will be reduced to the lowest pos- sible ebb. The house today for instunce voted to place all tho Indian agencies in the bands of army ofticers, To Pay for Nebraska's Indian Seare. Dr, Leander B. Smith has been recom- mended for appointmenton the ponsion board at Fremont in place of Dr. Crabb, resigned. Henator Manderson intends introducing a bill to reimburse the state of Nevtaska for the expenditures she madoe during the Sioux Indian outbreax, eighleen months or & yoar ago, in defending her northern border. He ‘will depend on the state officers of Nebraska to furnish him statistics and general facts to back up bis efforts. The scnate committee on public buildings and grounds has re- orted favorably the Paddock vill providing or a public building at Grand Island, to cost, with the site, £50,000. There is nodoubt the bill will pass the senate. T'he burden of final success now lics with Kepresentative McKeighan, who is expocted to get it through the house.

The three principal candidates for the place are Hen- derson and Hopkins of [llinols anda Dolliver of Jowa, Iachof thesenamed are making no fight themselves, but the friends of each are urging bim upon the speaker. The gen- eral opinion is thut Mr. Henderson will be chosen on account of his long service in con- fress, aithough Dolliver's friends are making a determnned effort for the Iowan, Representative Flick’s announcement that be will not be a candidate for re-electidn has brought out a large number of the citi- zens of the Eighth lowa district who will contest with ex-Congressman Hepburn for the privilege of the republican nomination. The latest gentleman to come out and quiesly feel around is W. H. Hall of Osceola, who, jt is unaerstood, will appear as a cundidate before the convention unless he is convinced in advance that there will be no chance for his success. ‘Phe house committee on public lands will hear Representative Dolliver in behalf of his bill to indemnify the settlers of the Des Moines River company’s lands on next Mon- day, Representative Seerley is a member of the subcommitteo having this bill in charge, and says he is heartily in favor of it. He will give Mr. Dolliver all the support pos- sible. Itis believed now that the bill will be favorably reported. Tepresentative Bryan has received a cir- cular letter from the Fremont Manufactur- ers and Dealers association, asking bim to vote against his own free binding twine bili. He will not yield to the request, N. S. Harwood has lefv for his home in Lincoln, Editor M. K.

After two hours debate an amendment, proposed by Mr. Bowoers of California, was adonted, vrovid- ing that the president may appoint officers thearmy to actas Indian agents when vacan- cles occur, On motion of Mr. Holman a further amendment was adopted providing that such army officers, while acting as Indian agents, shall bo under theorders and direction of the secretary of the interior. How army officers will roceive this inno- vation is a matter of great speculation among corgressmen today, as officers of the regular army have always beon very jealous of their independent position and may resent being transferred from the War department anu placed under tho orders of the civilians of the Interior department. There are many- representatives, however, who maintain that the change will be a welcome one to the ofti- cers, and thav under the proposed regime the Indians will be much more fairly treated, It is pertinent to stato in this connection thut western army officers have already con- tended that the troubles with Indiaus for years past have been attributable to the Indan agents and the Indian problem would never be solved until the wards of the nation were placed under the charge of the army men and the War department. Mr. Bynum Presided, The committee of the whole was presided over by Mr. Bynum of Indiana and the amendment of Mr., Bowers was the first one today proposod for the bill. On u standing vote the committoo agreed to Mr. Bowers' amendment—-S3 to 40. Mr. Pickler of South Dakota raised the point of no quorum. Mr. Wilson of Wash- ington said that there was evidently a quorum present, The chair replied that thero was ovidently & quorum present, but that the chair could not vote them. The gentlemen must do their own }'olim_{. |Applause on the democratic On'a vote by tellers, Mr. Bowers’ amend- ment, n_? amended, was adopted—yeas, 1 nays, 43, Although the amendment was agreed to by the committee Mr. Peel of Arkansas gave notico that he would ask a separate vote upon it in the house. He thought that this was too important a matter to bo legislated upon without greater. deliberation and con- sideration than had been givon to it. The committee then passed on to tho con- sideration of the clause approbriating $100,- 000 for the construction and repair of Indian day and industrial schools and on motion of -Mr. Lynch of Wisconsin an amendment was adopted providing that all schoolhouses erected under this appropriation shall bo bullt on the rescrvations or as near the boundars of the roservation as may be practicable, Mr., Reed Presents His View Mr. Reed of Maine presented his views on the Indian problem and advocated a propo- sition incroasing by 00,000 the appropria- tion for the education of ‘the redmen. The Indians must be educated as a whole. It was useless to take a child here and there and after educuting him send him back to a savage tribo to again become a blanket In- dian, There were toda; ,000 Indian children. The government was educating 20,000, but it was rich enough and sensible enough %o educate all. it would be a fundamental mistake on the part of this nation to stop in tho work of education. The people in this country were composed of manv races. Kf- forts must bo made to make them homogen- ous and they must be made one race—a raco that had some idea of civilization and prog- ross. Mr. Peel made a sreech in goneral defense of the bill, declaring that the committeo on Indian affairs had faithfully performed its duty. and denying that it had in any way in- jured the Indian service, Mr. Reed orfered an amendment, increas- ing from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 the appropr ation for the support'of Indfan day and in- dustrial schools, but it was lost. Pending final action on the bill, the com- mittee rose and the Louse adjourned. SILVEK OUSE. % Advocates and Opponents Propose n the Matter of Legislation, Wasmixgros, D. C. Feb. 27.—As the re- sultof an informal talk between the throo democratic leaders on the committee on rules, Messrs. Crisp, Catchings and MeMil- lin, & dotermination has been reachod to bring in a special orderon the silver quos- tion. It has beon dotermined to make the Bland freo coinage a spocial order for March 1 or 2, although this may possibly be changed. The parpose is to give the bill four days for consideration i the house. Within this timo the bill is w0 be devated and brought to a vote. No order will be made fixing a time at which a vote £hall be taken, at least for the presont, The fact that the order oniy makes the silver bill A matter of special privilege for a lhmted period of time wouid perhians mako 1t possi- lo for the anti-silver men to prevent a vote by means of filibustering tactics. It is said, nowever, that if necessary a rulo would bo brought in to bring the matter ta a vote, The rules committec is reluctant to fix a time at which a vote must be taken. It 1s thought by members of the committee that flibustering will notsucceed and that the knowledge that a rule will be brought in if nocessary to check these tactics will be suffi- cient so rrcvcnl arescrt to this method of obstruction, It is av present the purpose of Represonta- tives Cockran of New York, Andrews and O'Neill of Massachusetts, and other anti silver men, to fight the special order of the rules committee at the very outset and en- deavor to defeat it. While it is the purpose of the rules committee to renort the order on Monday, it is not intended to call iv up for adoption by the house for some days, A large number of members of congress were in conference with the speaker during thie duy, and all gave their opinions on the silver question, Senator Hill hada long interview with the speaker.

It discussos at some length the actior of the senate in 1800 1o voting to place the article on the free list. This bill, the minority continues, pre- seuts & good illustration of the folly of at- tempting to tinker with the tariff by piece- meal. In giving their reasons why they nppose the bill, the mioority, in conclusion, says: “We oppose it because this industry is already estavlished; beciuse the removal of this duty would destroy it, throwing thousands of men out of employmeut and rendering millions of invested capital useloss and turning $2,000,000 in wages annually to the laborers of other countrie: England Will Not Yake Part, Wasmingrox, D.

The required boud, £10,00), was promptly forthcoming, aad Miss Johnson willspand Sunday at her quiet home on Vaace street, instead of in the gloomy jail of Shelby county. It was kuown yesterday that the decision would be given tnis morning, and long be- foro the hour set for the opening of court every and available bit of standiug room in the criminal court had been taken. It was a curious throng that thus patiently awaited the entering of the judge, and the ~princival figure in this preliminary trial. A mixture of people of all classos und situations in life was hero represented. A fow ladies wero present and their bright toilettes ient an air of cheerfulness to the scene. By tho sido of the secretary sat the staid matrons of so- clety, and crowded uncomfortably near tuem \‘{ the colored dame, arrayed for the occa- sion, A little before 9 o'clock a rear door of the court roomn opened and Miss Johnson entered, leaning upon the arm of her fatner. ollow- 1ng her came her twin brother *Jim” and an older brotaer. They took their accustomed places by the window in the corner of tho room, to the left of the judgo's seat. Miss Johuson was becomingly attired in a walk- ing suit of daric brown ‘material and light hat. When she hfted her veil her counte- nance, though ghastly pale, bore a cheerful exprossion, She seemed to know, as if by tuition, that the famous judge who has presided over so ‘many sensational trials would that morninz pronounce the words which would aliow her to return, at least for atime, to hor home and friends. A few mmutes after 9 d'clock Judge Dubose, tall and spare, entered, and noticing that the prisoner and counsel were all-present, imme- diately took his 'seat!’ The habeas corpus case was the first Busifiess and it was at onco proceoded With, the ruling being read immediately. 1t ls\us follows : "The State vs Alleg Mitcholl anl Lithe Tohn- son: s The defendants ' wore folntly indicted, charged with murder in tho first dezree. On indictment thus found defendants being con- fined in the county juil awiting tria’, the de- tendant Johuson applies for bailon a proceed- ing of habeas corpus Instivuted for that pur- pose. PWiiother she bo entitled to bail, ay de- manded, involves a question of law, us well as of fuct, whioh must bo decided alone by the court. ' It is provided in the declaration of rights of the constitution of ourstato that all prisoners shall be bailuble by sufsient sure- ties, “unless for capital oifenses, when the proof is evident, or the presumption great. The obvious menning of this lanzuage Is that when the proof Is evident or the presumptlon great. that the defendant Is guilty of a cupi- tul offense. bafl cannot be uliowed. But to de- rmine this applicant for bail must summon witnesses and the court proceed to fully in- vestigute the caso on tho point us to whother the proof is evident.or the presumption great; for the burden of proof is on the defendant to show that she has the constitutional right to be bailed; that the proof agalnst her Is not evident. Witnesses in this case have baen summoned and fully examined. and without reviewing the evidence as presented 1t is suflicient to say thut the court is clearty of the opinion that the proof Is evident that the defendunt ded and abotted in the commission of the crimo with which she and her codefendant ure charged—a ¢ the most_shocking and malignant ever perpetrated by woman. How- gver the court may consider, on nppil for bail, the condition of ‘the defend: health ailected by confinement In the county Jall. " 1€ itappears that continuea condnemen would endanger the life of the defendant, she ought to be bailed, as tho policy of the 1aw is not to punish unnecessarily those who are charged with erime oforo ulul and convic- on, It uppears from the proot taki the Murder of en in this pro- ceeding that the defendunt Johnson is u woman of about 2) years of 1 has been in precarious health sineo u ild; that she suffors continuully from headache, and often with nervous prostration, and the c'ose confinoment in the sgmosphere’of the prison would no doubt azgravate her malady and thereby endunger her life, Ior this ro and for this alone, the court will grant the prayer of the petitioner and admit the de- endant to bail. Immediately after Judge Dubose had fin- ishod reading his ruling the bail was fixed at #10,000, with Dr. H. L. Wilford ana Hon, Martin Keily as sureties, Miss Johnson received the congratulations of friends and relatives, and immediately left the court room. A carriage was in wait- g, and in company with her father and brothers the young lady was driven to her home on Vance street, where the party ar- rived at a few minutes after 11 o'clock. It is evicent that tho state has in its pos- session evidence which has nov byen mado public, which will hold Miss Johnson for trial on the charge of aiding in the murder instead of the mero form of a release from ball, as was sanguinely expocted by her friends, Miss Johnson’s incarcera greatly upon her Keglth, pale and much em ted, 15 uow but a shadow of her former scif.

BeaTiice, Neb., Feb, 27.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—-The Gago county farmers alliance met in this city today with a very fair at- tendance. The discussions during the meet- ing indicated a strong tendency to abandon the political features of the organization, and to devoto the energies of the alhance to the improvement of the farmors’ condition rather than to lend the influence of the asso- ciation to the political aspirations of profes- sional office scekors.

And thoy do not demonstrato par ticularly strongly that the recent conforence was o spontancous uprising of the down- trodden toilers of the earth, but rather that it was controlled ond run by a fow men whose executive abilities and perspicuity have shown them to be schamers of no mean ability, Indeed, to come down to cold fasts, tho entire affair, from the issuing of the call by tho Ocala convention to the prosent day was coolly 1y planned, fand not only planned, but executed by a littlo coterie, whose names ara J. H. Weaver, Ignatius Donnelly, Horman B, Tan- beneck, G, . Washburn, J. tH. Davis, C. C, Post of Georgia and J. L. Norton of Chicago. And all this is learned directly from one of the leading schomers after tho Ocala call went out aud n conference at Cincinnati was hela and the reform party thrown upon the world, Opposed by Southerners. Without going into details, it is only noces- sary to say it early became evident that the southern element was strongly opposed to in- dependent action, and that_ the leaders in this line were Dr. McCune and Ben Terrill of Texas and Livingston of Georgia, Thoso in favor of such action saw that somotbing had 10 be done avd quickly. At Indianupolis iv vecae still more strongly apparent, and the promoters of third party action began to formulate plans. It was nothing more at fivst than that Weaver and Donnelly should put themselves forward and draw the firo of the enemy, thus giving Wash- burn and ‘Taubeneck an opportunity to concentrate their forces on the flank. How well tho plan succceded will be shown by this story, At meoting after meeting the third party idea was pushed. In the supreme council of the allisuce the issuo was drawn on a pledee offered %0 support the action of the fedorated 1 bodies. The southern lead fought it, but were defeated. A proposition to request, that all alliance cougressmen should stay out of all tho old party caucuses was carried, de- spite the efforts of Livineston et Pulled the Wool Over Thelr ‘Tho committeo appointed to call the na- tional couvention had begun to evideuco some peculiar characteristics. This com- mittee consisted of Terrill, Taubeneck and Bannigarten, Terrill, its chairman, persist- ently neglected to call the body to- gether to formulate a call. Weeks passed, buv uno call; finally Taubeneck and Bannigarten conferr and issued the call from Washington. In doing 8o St. Louis was selected, that the conference might be near Kansas and Nobraska, two strong alliance and third party states, and so be strongly influenced in that direction. About this time Terrill began to ‘*hedge” by endorsing the call issued by the majority of the committee, Matters were now so shaping themselves that it wus becoming necessary to destroy the influence of the southern leaders opposed to third party action, especially Livingston” of Georgia and MeCune and Terrill of Texas. Here the Wastburn-Taubencck — party showed its finesso. With the aid of Post of Georgia and J. H. Davis of 7Texas the alli- ances of those Lwo states were so worked upon as to como to the support of the third party, thus repudiating theirexisting leaders and 16aving them without a constituency. As a vesult of this situation, which was plunned for and deliberately worked out, Watson be- came the real leader of the Georgia alliance. Significance of the Georgla Contest, The anti-third party fechng having thus been practically stamped out, the steorers came to St. Louis and began their work here to el ol the convention. It was known that Livingston was coming, threatening to bolt if any action contrary to his wishes was taken, and her lies the significance of the Georgiacontest and the row over it in tha convention hall. But to that reference will be made in chronological order. "The icaders now in the city began their work. They established outposts of confi- dential workers to warn them of any action whicb might be taken by any oné of the nu- merous orders embraced in the Lig as- semblago. The steering committee, as it may be called —-the names have already been given—received reports from these spics tnd planned accordingly. Taou figst skirmish oc- curred on the first day, when Hayes of the Knights of Labor attempted to make Ter- vill czar of the body by giving him power to appoint ~ all committees, though Lo was neither temporary nor permanent chairman., How General Weaver headed this off is already o matter of history. 1f the scheme had been successful it 1s known that Terrili would have appointed only anti- third party men, and so he, McCune and Liv- ingston would been 1n control. Weaver's action, however, put Marion Caunon in the chair, ‘and thus' the Washburn-Taubeneck element were agaln in the saddle, and then came Donvelly’s resolution regarding the credentials committee, and it was passed and the toird party men breathod still more freely. Fell Into the Third Party Trap. The next scheme wus to spring a row in the convention and publicly show the south- ern anti-third party leaders to be without & constituency. This was done with the ald of the Georgia contest case. Three only of the five state-at-large delegates appoin ted by Livingston and his committee had arrived in town. The credentials committee filled the vacancies with two third party men— Post and Braoch. In the meantime the national citizens’ industrial alliance had, by the fine work of the steering committee, been induced to put on its nationai delegation four Georgin hird party men. This, however, was not known to the Livingston element, When tke contest report was madeto the convention, Moses of Georgia, an anti-third party man, fell into the trap set for him, de- manding that the unit rule govera the newly ftixed delegation as had been ordered by the Georgia state committee, of which Living- ston was chairman, The matter was fought outus alreody known, but when tho state delogation cuame to take formal action as & state delegation the Livingston men found themselves in the minority, They had, how- ever, sprung the row in the convention, and, without knowing it, had publicly shown themselves without a constituenc; Carrie 0 in the Rush, The next step of theso fine workers, who had so far had matters their own way, was 1o create such a third party sentiment of a public character as to carry the anti-third party men forward 1 the rush and so vre- vent their voices being heard. This they did by still seeping Weaver and Donnelly beforo the body us targets, while they hems elyes, having secured appointments as sergeants-al-arms circulated umong the del egates, and passing word along to their tru ana tried men, kept iho sentiment on their side. They had nearly reached the consum- mation of thelr hopes wlen a sudden moves ment by Powderly almost caused a stamneae, On bis motion an adjournment of two hours was taken, During this time the Willard minority platform was hurriealy put in shape and when the convention reassembled it was preseuted. 'Then ensued the coufusion des scribed in the despatches on the day of the occurrence. In the midstof it all "Weaver himself lost bis bearing, but righted himself just in time to call & halt by demanding to kuow how his delegation had voted bim, ‘Tho third party men pulled themselves together. During a fow moments in which: all the delugations spont in consultation, the so-called sergeauts-at-arms, succeeded in passing the word to their friends.
