Attention was called only a few days ago Pt Peekskill of porsons who are floodiag tho alls with circulars of this chacacter. It #ppears that the states of Michigan, Wiscon- #in and Minnesota, in which the elusive inbow was chased during the last cam- aign, have boon doluged with those doou- onts, emanating from New York. ?nounnml‘ of tarmers have recelvod, during ho last thres weeks, a plain manilla envelopo postmarked Now York City and containing first tho familiar and “confidontial circular’’ expressing the desire of the writer to obtain # shrowd ngent to handlo ‘‘ereen goods' und nclosing o newspaper clipping which the é:rculzr states will afford all the information Wasmyaroxy Bunreav or tue Bee, } sired and which is self-cxplanatory. T'he ipping Is the milk of the political coacoanut. How the Game is Worked, 1t is a porfect fac simile of a clipping from daily paper, corresponding in tvpe and On the outside is an alleged spe- Washington, datea March 6, and headed *How the Treasury is Robbed." After & detailed interview with General Rosecrans, t\’m democratic register of the treasury, in hich he states that the government cannot protect itselfl against counterfoit greenbacks nd that the counterfeiters are evidently cked in their nefarious work by some per- n high in government favor and that it is u Fo\'all fact that they are in collusion with he Bureau of Engraving and Printing this gampaign document proceeds thus: “Thousands of dotlass of this spurious sue has been used by the republican party to further their interests on election days, + 8nd it is positively asserted that officials high In government favor have been sending these urious greenbacks to their friends to be distributea on election day," Tne exciled grangor who has been reading $his with much 1nterest now turns it over and on the back of the alloged clipping finds # double-leaded tariff reform editorial, en- titled *'No Load in that Barrel,” and devoted toshowing that, “*Lhe poor persecuted farmer as finally learned to laugh at these war riff sophistries;”’ that inshort ‘‘the farmer pays the groater part of this iniquitous bur- den, and has at last come to know it.'” What Investigatien Shows. Investigation at the Postofiice devartment fhis ovening showed that the political s tences quoted in the alleged ‘'green goods’ firculars are additions which are not found In any of the alleged newspaper slips cap- tured by any of the postofiice inspectors in their raids on genuino “‘green goods’ men por to any of the nowspuper clippings oaptured by them show & tariff reform edi- torfal or a sound money editorial, as is the case in the newspaper clippings brought out In the nortbwest by these tariff reformers. * This is hero considered very good cocrobor- tive evidenco that the entiro green goods circular 1s merely & political trick. Attacks on Public DI Another editorial makes an attack upon Benators Allison and John Sherman as possi- ble candiaates for the presidency. The best evidence of how carefully this textbook in the campuign of “‘education’ is prepared is hown by the fact that where circulars are sent to German farmers tho political edi- torial on the rear of the ulleged clipping is devoted to the success with which the democracy has handled the financial ques- tion and a denunciation of the late silver bill urchase passed b{ tho last congress as tend- ?ng o dopreciate the value of investments 1n savings banks, The ingenuity of this scheme 38 worthy of the ablest democrat. Experience has taught that nothing is more difficult than to make tho westorn farmer ad the average congressional speech on the riff. By this claver dovice, the persons to whom these sealed envelopes aro sent at onco become interested 1n the subject. Their at- tention is attracted, and while they are seek- ing information as to ‘‘green goods” methoas they sre unconsciously absorbing sound dom- ouratic doctrine. The extent to which the pohemo has been worked lately shows that thero is large money as well as an able di- tecting political mind behind it. It is hinted that several heavy New York importers are interested in this novel method of promulgat- fng freo trado doctrines. One thing is cer- tain, either the democratic national commit- tee are accomplished ‘'green goods” men or the “green goods” men are ardent tariff re- formers, After Hill's Sealp, It is said on the authority of & western ngressman who has been very intimate ith Senator Hill that the passage of a free #ilver bill by the house next week will have #as an important sequel the retirement of Hill as a presideutial candidate, For many wecks efforts have been made to draw Hill out on his attitude toward the silver ques- tion, but theso have been in vain. He has carefully avoided the subject during the southern trip. It now appears that while Mr. Hill has carefully avoided the question in public he has told his friends in private . that he was strongly opposed to the Blaud Dbill and to any other measure looking toward the'free coinage of silver, ana should the houso pass such a bill he would not care to e the candidate of the party. ‘This statement was made by a western congressman of much inluence in the house today: “As I was about to leave the city for a western trip recently I was called upon by one of the gentlemen who is recognized @s having obarge of Mr. Hill's interests, He knew me to be favoravle to silver, and also to be favorable to Hill's nomination to the presidency, and he was aesirous of reconciling a conflict on these Lwo points, Up to that time I bad not known there wi a conflict, for my advocacy of Hill was due . Yo the belief that hefavored a freesilver bill, But the gentleman argued to mo at much ength as to the danger to the party in pass- fug & silver bill, and finally toid me direot that he was authorized to say that if the democratic house of rfl)mtnuflvu passed a free silver bill, Mr, Hill did not care to be the candidate of the party. Ireplied that if this were true the sooner Mr. Hill got out of the way the better, Since then I have been mmused at the many efforts to draw outan xpression from Hill, m view of the e; ion I had already received. 1 am sati ‘ed bat Mr. Hill used to boa free coinag man, but he has given way to the tremel Qous influence of the money interests in New ‘York, and now looks at the free silver bill as Jmperiling the election of the democratic prosidontial cuadidate,” The Cloveland democrats here say that ‘while Mr. Hill is dolog all in bis power to defeat tho adoption of a free coin bill in the house, he is so tully dumrmln:s.w pre- vent Cleveland's nomiuation that he would prefer to unrl 8 losing canvass rather than soe it to bis hated rival. In the face of this Hill bas stated positively that he doos not want thenowination if a Tree silver bill goes through the house.

Elevon members constituted the quorum present at the meeting of the Board of Edu- cation last evening. In the absence of Prosi- dent Spaulding, W. N. Babcock occupied the chair, The reading of several pages of ac- cumulated minutes was dispensed with, and a communication from Superintendent Fitz- patrick reporting adversely on the petition of Mr. Worcester for permission to announce in the schools an entertainment to be given by him, was temporarily sidetracked on motion of Mr. Martin, in order to at once take up the yuestion of a Central school site. Desoite the protest of Mr. Morrison, who wanted to hear a report of the last meeting of the committee of the whole before again going into the committee session, the board decided to have 1t out then and 'there, and the eleven tramped sturdily into the com- mittee room. ‘The crowd of interested outsiders waited patiently for sixty long minutes, when the committea floated out again. Mr. Points reported that he had been in- structed by the committee to report in favor of purchasing the Johnson tract, 184x146, at Twenty-second and Dodge stroots, offered by the Byron Reed company for §32,000. The roport was adopted on the following vote: Ayes—C. E. Babcock, W. ‘Babcocls, Coryell, Givobs, Jaynes, Martin, Morrison, Poppleton, Wehrer— Nays—Glbson, Points—2. A contract was ordered drawn and entered into. The regular order of business was then taken up. Superintendent of Buildings Hamilton re- ported that the Clifton Hill school would be completed by Wednesday, and recommended the laying of sidewalks on the grounds and the street. He stated that tho Monmouth Park school would be ready for occupanc, by April 4, and recommondad six-foot plan walks, The report was referred to the committce on buildings and property.

E, Babcock wanted the communication placea on file, as there would be kicks ad lnu:llum if such complaints were consid- ered. Mr. Morrison objected and demanded that it bo considered. He thought that the Home company shouid be given ashow aud they should be given an cqual chanco with tho board companies. Mr. Coryell stated that the Home company had not been discriminated against becauso it was n non-board company, Ho knew that it was carrying several policies on the school buildings, but what percentage of the whole 1t was he could not say. Mr. Babeock defended the action of the finance committee in placing the insurance. Mr. Gibson wanted the matter referred to a lpficlll committee of three.

Bek bldg NTO JAIL AND OUT AGAIN Soveral Ohapters and a Sequel in an Bx- oiting District Oourt Case. JUDGE SCOTT'S SENTENCE SUSPENDED His Plan “to’ Make the Panishment Fit the o Blocked by the Supreme Court—Edward F. Morearty Acquitted by the Jury, Yesterday will be marked with a roa stone in the calendars of Omaha attorneys. Itis doubtful if over one court day contained in its proceedings more of interest to the bar, Under ordinary circumstances, in the trial ot criminal causos, if eithor party goos to jail it is the prisoner at the bar and not tho at- torney who defends, This order of things, however, was reversed yosterday in the trial of the case of the state against Edward F. Morearty, which was on trial before Judge Davis. Morearty went out into the light of day, a froe man, whilo his attornoys, W. Clair and Silas Cobb, wentover to the coun bastile, thero to do time and serve out the sontence imposed by Judge Scott. Yesterday aftornoon, just as the train was departing for the north with Judge Scott aboard, on his way to Burt county, where ho 18 now holaing tho regular March term of court, one of the attorneys for Clairand Cobb presented the bill of exoeptions in the con- tempt case. Tho judgo smiled, looked at the papers, and said he would read them when be had leisure. The othor attorneys wero equally busy preparing documents for tho suprome court and a writ of habeas corpus to bo presented for Judge Irvine's considera- tion. Subsequent proceedings in the case go to show thatno mattor how determined one juage may be that the sentence of tho court shall be executed in tho extremo lettor of its deliverance, another may interfero and tho punishment may be deferred if not averted. While Attorneys Clair and Cobb went to jail at the behest of Judge Scott, they were re- leased by direction of the supreme court and aro now comparatively free men. It is an exciting tale, comprising sensa- tional features in every detail—enough to furnish material for a long coniinued story. And the end thereof is not. TRYING TO KEEP OUT OF JAIL. Attorneys Clair and Cobb Wrestle With u very Determined Court, It bas been been many days since court room No. 1 1n the court houso contained as largo a crowd of interested spectators as it did this morning. There wero judges, law- vers, witnesses and tho common peoplo who filled the benches and occupied the standing room in the aisles and agaiust tho walls. Somo of the parties who wero thero had bus- iness to transact with the court, but more of them wero present to watch the outcome of tho contompt case agawnst Attorneys Cobb and Clair Judges Davis and Scott ocoupled the bovch, while Clerk Moores read the journal as usual, To the majority of tho people: comprising and composing the aggrogation the journal proved an interesting document, but Charles Offutt, Judgo Estelle and W. D. McHugh had other tish to fry. During tho time thoy busied themselves covering pages of legal cap paper. 3 he clerk read the entry madé last Satur- a; y : “Tofendants in opon court. state_that, they aro cach responsiblo for the matter stated in the first count of the motion to quash the in- dictment in the case of the state of Nebrasku against Edward F. Morearty, and that thoy krew that the matters therein constituted no ground for quashing the said indictment; thereupon the court gave the defondants an opportunity to strike out tho first count of said motion, to which thoy each satd in_open court that they would not do so. The matter in suid first _count beinz that the charge iven to the grand jury, which found tno in- ictment hereln. by Hon. O. K. Scott. judge, was inflammatory and prejudiclal 1n this, that said chargo aroused the prejudice of said grand Jury, so that they wero ot fair and fm- partial grand jurors. “The defendants are thorefore udjudged to be in contempt of court and they are each ad- Judgod to pay & fing of £ and be imprisoned n the county jail for the period of twenty- four hours, miprisonment to_commence when the case now on trial in this court, in which they are uttorneys, shall have been closed.” Clalmed There Had Been a Mistake, Mr. Offutt was upon his feet in an instant. With a “Please the court'” he said that there was & mistake in the contempt proceedings. The two lawyers, Cobb and Clair, he said, did not state to the court in their motion that they know that the motion filed did not state grounds for quashing the indictment; that the journal entry did not state tho facts as they had occurred. Mr. Offutt was con- fident that & grave mistake had been made, and asked to have it corrected before the journal was signed. A number of aflidavits of parties who wore in the court room last Saturday were read, to show that the journal eniry did not corre- spond with the facts. Judgoe Scott etated that when the case was called last Saturday he held in his hand the motion filed by Clair and Cobb. He asked both of the gentlemen 1if they were the authors of the motion to quasn the indict- ment, to which they replisd that they wera. They also stated in open court that they made 0o claims that the statutos made any vrovision for filing such a motion, but that they wanted 1o take every udvantage for the terest of their client. Offutt thought that his clients had honest and honorable convictions when they filed tho motion. Judge Scott presumed that they aid, but the motion was u stur, not aimed at him'par- ticularly, but at the bench. Wanted to Change the Journal, Offutt asked that the objectionable words be stricken from the journal. Judge Scott romarked to the clerk, ‘vou may insert these words: ‘Tne defendanis assert that they made no claim that there was any statute authorizing the filing of the motion,’ " “But,” said Mr. Offutt, *let the record show that they said that they did not kpow that there was any statute preventing them from filing such & motion. " “Well then,” added Judge Scott, ‘‘you can havo it that way, Now,” continued tho judge, “if you aesire to take any other steps youghadgbelter do so at once, as I go to Burt county at 1 o'clock this afternoon.™ Made Some Motlons, “We file a motion for a new trial,” said Mr. Offutt, advancing towards the bench, “And you can consider the motion over- ruled,” answored Judge Scott, **We also desire to flle an afidavit setting forth your charge to the grand jury,” con- unued Mr. Offutt, “You can consider that filled,”” answered Judge Scott, “and I want to say to you gen- tlemen that it is not my purpose in “ths or auy other case to screon any action of the court. The charge to the graud jury was de- livered after consultation and mawire delib- eration. Itis my desire that that charge shall be before the court of last resort. [ am willing to staud upon that charge and 1f I had it 0 do over again, Lhe charge would be more pointed. So there, gentlomen.” Don't Monkey With the Stenographer. Doring the time that Judge Scott was talking, Mr. Clair bad walked over to and was talking with the oficial stenographer. Juage Scott noticed the move and said: What are you saying, sir{ That stenographer 1is an ofticer of the court and does not belong 1o you." Mr. Ciair explained that he was talking about ou tiel Mr. Offutt baaded up a bill of exceptions with the remark: *I suppose we can have this signed at once!” In roply Judge Scott added: ‘“Itis now 10 o'clock and I leave for Burt county 8t 1 o'clock this afternoon. It would be im possible for one to examine the papers.” Refused a Kequest tor Stay Proceedings. Mr. Offust asked for un order granting a stay of proceedings and in addition thereto, asked the court to fix the bonds. “No sir, they oan't get that," auswered Judge Scott. “If the gentlemen want to et before the supremo court thev musy Bot g0 with any papers o rryig @ slur ou their face. They must sewike ous of thoir motion the condt th which they state that the charge to the #wnd jury was in- flammnatory.” 15 Mr. Olfatt wanted to know when tho order of the court would be ekecated. ““When this trial is conoluded,” promptly | answered Juage Scott. ““When you retara ' asked Mr. Offatt. “No,” answored the judge, ‘“‘the sheriff will execute the order ‘when the jury re tires." fben 1 shall press my motion for a now trial,”’ interceded Mr, Offutt. ““Then your motion ig overruled,’ returned Judga Scott. *‘and vour clients will go to jail unless tho matter 18 fixed up before me or some other judge." Me. Offutt again made a motion, which was for a stay of proceedings. This motion was as promptly overruled as tho precoding ones. Tho judgo thon informed the attornoys that he would lay no obstacle in their way and that they could take the mattor into the su- preme court as s00n as they pleased. Tried Another Plan. Mr. Offut then switched. He filed a motion 10 show that the court bad uo jurisdiction and that heimposed the sentence and toe fine filegally. I will hear you upon that point," retorted Judge Scott. “But where!" asked “You can follow me answered tne judge, ‘“aud I a royal manner.” Mr. Offutt, not having met with the suc- cess he contemplated, Judge Kstelle took a hand and filed & motion stating that the tind ing of tho court wns contrary to the law and the evidonce; that it was in abuse of the ju- dicial power of the bench and that it was un fair and partial, ‘I'his mouon, like several others which had preceded it, was overruled, Got Back to Mr, Morearty's Case. The lawyers, having exhaustod thom- selvos, witharow and the arguments in tho case of the stato against Morearty wero com- menced. Mr. Cobb stated that he wanted to objuct to the proceedings had in open court, s choy mignt influence tho minds of the jurors, who had sat as silent witnesses. Judgo Davis overruled the objection, after whicl Mr. Cobb objected again. He thought that Judge Scott’s comments in the charge to the grand jury had projudiced the jury in the Morearty case. This objection was over- rulea. CLIENT FR Mr. Offute.

E. Squires for getting an #3,000 sweeping bill through the council. This argument consumed twenty minuies and then fo'lowed the charge to the jury, after wiich the tweive men retired to medi- tate and deliberate. Meditating and delib erating they remained for just thirty-fivo minutes and then returned to tho court room The room was densely packed with spec tators. The verdict was pussed up to Clerk Moores, who read: ‘*We, the jury dulv im- paneled 1n the case of the State against Ed- ward F. Morearty, do find:the defendant not guilty.” A silence that was painful filled the room, but it was broken by Mr. Morearty, wno, head up, gathered himsélf upon his feot and stepping in front of the'jury vox started in Dby saying: “Mr. Foreman and gentiemen of the jury, I desire—" LS ‘*Hold on there, Mr. Morearty. What are you doing?” asked Judge Dav “You are a lawyer and ought to knowy better than that. That_jury has simply_ discharged its duty and Is not entitled to any thanks from you."" Most men would ha¥e been crestfallen, but Morearty was not. Ho smiled and turned around to shakd'liands with some of his admirers. s That closed ali of theiscenes in the More- arty case and some ofithie spoctators filed out, while others had au. idea that there was fun' ahoad and waited. : Couldn’t Bjuff the Sherifr, Sheriff_Beunett, who had been instructed to arrest Clairand Cobb as soon as the Moure- arty case closed, was on hand to discharge his'duty. He stepped up to the young legal lights and informed them that they were his prisoners, at the same time inviting them to accompany him to the Douglas county jail. They hung back for a moment and then sprang this bluff upon the sheriff: *To Georgo A. Bennett, sheriff of Douglas county, Nobraska: You are hereby notified that the order entered in the case of the stato of Nebraska against W. J. Clair and | Silas Cobb, finding them guilty of contempt of court and sentencing Sxem to imprison- ment therefor, was made and entered with- out authority of law, and that the ocourt making the sume was without jurisaiction; that the said order is utterly void and constitutes no authority to you as such sheriff to take or keep said W. J. Clair and Silas Cobb in custody and imprisonment. “‘You are hareby notified that if you take or keep said W. 4. Clair and Silas Coob 1nto custody or imprisonment under said order, such imprisonment will be illegal and unlaw- ful, and that you, as such sueriff, and your bondsmen will be heid hable in damages for such unlawful imprisonment.’ Sheriff Bennett whispered Davis and the judge answered, nothing to do with the case.” Just then Sheriff Bennett advanced to- ‘wards Cobb, who asked : “Sherift, do you arrest me?" *“This court is not in session now,” sug- rested Judge Davis as he left the bench. “Of course [ arrest you,” said Sheriff Bennett in reply to Mr. Cobb's nuestion. Smiled and Went to Jnil, That settled it, and the two lawyers fol- lowed the sheriff down the stairs, out tbrough the court yard and up into_the county jail. There was a sound of keys turning in heavy locks, the grated doors swung back, and as the ' young men passed into the gloomy corridor of the jail they smiled, but they did not abandon hope, for their attorneys on the outside were working like beavers, A vetition for a writ of habeas corpus had been prepared and was being considered by Judge Irvine. Tho writ was 1ssued to Sheriff Beonett and recited that Clair and Cobb were attorneys and mombers of the bar of Douglas county, that they were unlawfully doprived of their liberty, that they had not committed any orime, that the warrant of commitment was not issuea out of any court having acquired jurisdictiou. ‘'Che only cause for the arrest and detention of the relators was by an order made by C. R. Scott, one of the judges of the district court of Douglas county, that the said Judge Scott had no jurisdiction whatever 0 make the order or any other order; that said order was nou made in any cause or action pending; thay spid order was not made in any summasy Droceeding wherein the relators wore servéd with any process whatever to appear bgfore said court or to to Judge “I have show cause why said relators should not be dealt with for contemptor why said order should not be made. The petition further sets forth that no cess, warrant or citation of any kind what- soovor had beon served upon tho rolators: that tho relators hnd not boon giver an op- portunity to appear and answer any charge made against them and that said order was not made by reason of any act of the ro lators or any alloged contempt committod in the presence of the court, nor was it made for any disordoriy, contemptous or insolent behinvior towards the court From Omaha to Lincoln, Judge Irvine patiently listened to tho read- ing of tho petition and the arguments that wore made by the attornoys for lair aud Cobb. ~ After considoring the caso ho con clided that be could not interfero, stating that the court was composed of seven judges. That the order of imprisonment was made by one of the juages composing tho court and that it would bs diseourteous for another judgo to interfere.
