WILL REVIVE FREE COISAGE | Riiver Mon in Congress Deternined to Pur- sne the Game. CHAIRMAN BLAND TELLS OF HI5 PLANS Taike Confidently of the Passags of His Pet Bohiemo Before Congress Adjourns and Also Exy 14 1is Position in Regard to the Tarik Wasninarox, Nov. 20.~The indications are that the frec coinage fight will be renewed with rather increased vigor at the opening of the -regular session of cong The mon who wagad such a stubborn war silver in the two houses during the extra session uppenr to have gathered confidence by the events which have followed the re peal of the siiver purchase act and an o fzation of their forces is mnow being per feoted. For the past two or three weeks the silver men have been singularly quiet. The reason for thi now bocome apparent. The silver m weore ting for a sufficient period to elapse after tha repeal of tho Sher- man act in order to demonstiate to the peo- ple that the silver purchuse law was not the oause of the great financial depression and that its repeal would not prove a panacea for all the commercial evils which have ac companied the times. They think the aemonstration of this fact is now so appar- ent to the American people that the silver men are preparing to submit to the wo Youses of congress next month that the leg- islation demanded by the administration has been a failure in restoring commercial pros- perity, that the position of the silver men in urging free coinnge av the late session has been vindicated, and that now the demo- eratic ress should devote iself 10 redecming the remaining pledees of the last democratic national convention on the subject of silver and financi slath Wiih this object in view Chairman Bland of 1he committee of coinage, weights and meas ures 1s preparing a bill, wiich he, as the leader of the fi coinage men, will intro- duce at the opening of the next session It is further declared by Mr. Bland to be his intention to afford no loophole of escape for those demovratic congre en who have talked for free coinage to their constituents, but voted aguinst it on plausible pretexts when the matter came up for consid in the house. Scores of democratic congress. men declared themselves devotedly attached to the free coinnge cause during the recent session, but explained that they thought the wiser course at that time was to repeal the silver purchuse act, and then to take up the free coinuge question pure and simple, and consider 1t at the regular session, Majority for Free Colnage. Mr. Bland declares that there 1s a clear majority for free coinage in the house of representatives if their pri to him during the extra session are to be re- Jied on, and he proposes now to bring these gentlemen 1o the erucial test. The measure which Chairman Bland will introduco at the opening of the session is substantially a re-enactment ot the law of January 18, 1 It 1s the belief of the sil- ver men that a bill re-enacting this law will sommand greater strength and afford less spportuuity for evasion than any other measure which could possibly be presented. The act of 1837 wassimple and brief. It vided for silver dollars of 41214 grains and declared that “the dollars, holf dollars, quarter dollurs, dimes and half dimes should be legal tender according to their nominal value for any sums whatsoever.” In regard to his position and the plans of the silver men Chairman Bland say: *1 do not see that the repeal of the Sherman law has changed the situation for the better. Indeed, iv appears rather to have changed it for the worse. The truth is—amd the peo- Pe now . thoronghly reahze it—the silver purchase law has had nothing to do with the hard times. The hard times came and they are with us and they cannot be waved away by the wand of a magician, however potent his charms, or however essential his personaiity. We simply have to go through a process of liquidation before good times can come again, and that was necessary whether wo repeé the Sherman law or not. This panic, Like all other panics, finally renched a point where the }lcnplu got afraid of the banks and afraid of each otherand there now has got to bea. general liquida- tion and blotting out and beginning anew. The repeal of the Sherman law will only send to make liquidation the harder for the debtor class of people, because it contracts the currency and leaves the business inter- 95ts of the country without a sufticient vol- Jme of money to supply a growing popula- jion and develop more industries. Were Altogether Mistaken. “One of the great mistakes those people aoem to have made about repeal is that their plan was to promote schemes in Wall street —bonds and mortgages, and_transactions of that kind. It was supposed that repeal would do this, becausc it was thought that Eu- ropeun capital would bo invested here more readily by the repeal of the silver purchase act than by letting it stand. But it seems that even 1n that they have been greatly dis- appointed. There seems to be now less con- fidence in Europe in our financial conditions than before. Kuropeans are sending no more money here and continue to draw away ours. If the gold basis which we have now tends to contract the currency it makes the times harder everywhere, The contraction of the currency and a gold basis will tend to make a sharp demand for gold in Europe as well as. here und will injure our producers by caus- ing lower prices for everything we send to Europe. 'This also makes lower prices here, and hence, since the passage of the repeal net, wheat and cotton have gone down in the market instead of going up. If we can re- duce the tariff very largely so as to make trade easier and freer the exchange of our commodities abroad will tend somewhat to relieve the farming interests of this couptry. Hence, 1 think, we should at least 1mmedi- ately impose a large income tax and greatly reduce the duties on imports, Bland is Contident, “‘We expect to undertake to pass a free mlnlsa bill before congress udjourns,” con- tinued Chairman Bland, decisively. *“What success we will have Is very uncertain, 1 shall introduce a bill reviving the act of 1887, and thus providing again for the free coinage of the standard silver dollar, My position is that we should repeal now all of the Sherman laws on silver and have the law of 1887 re-cuacted and thus put silver back where he put his hund on it. Since we ‘have repealed one of his laws, let us repeal all of them. 1 think that a majority of the committeo on coinage, weights and measures will favor such a bill as I am preparing. I think the late election would stim- ulate some of them to a belief in the wisdom of such a policy. The last election seemed to show & general want of confidence in the democratic party. 1ts result does not look. either us though people had much confidence that the repeal of the Sherman law would help. My pur- pose is to introduce such a bill, have it romptly acted upon by the committee, as I +have no doubt it will be, and have it reported back to the house.* I am willing to allow & reasonable time for the discussion and sing of a tanff bill before discussing the ree coinage measure. We will not embar- rass them and will givo no one any excuse for evading the issue I think our people on1m. o go to work and pass a good tariff bill at an early day and after that is done I purpose to see if we cannot have some finan- cial legislation. “For my part I am a free trader and do not belong to the 1ncidental protectionists, +Of course, if uwx ut wool on the free list, 1 shall expect and jnsist on a heavycut in m:hcmnd woolen goods. 1 should con- T 1: Jlry unfair to put vm«:‘l‘ on :':hau lnfie until we get a correspon uction in woolen goods.

SUPREME ( OURT DECISIONS, Menning of the Term by the Cour Wasnrvotox, Nov. 20.—The great lakes are high seas according to the construction announced loday by Jusiice Field in the United States supremo court in the consid tion of the act of congress providing for the punishment of offenders on the high soas. Justice Gray and Justice Brown dis- sented. The matter came up on the case of the United States against Robert Rogers, who was indicted stern Michigan for as- saulting another nerson on the United States steam aska. lying at the time in the Detroit river. Iogers entered a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the court under the hign seas act, contending that the great lakes were not high seas, and the court sus- iined him, The court holds that the de- murrer should have been overruled. Justice Field said that formerly the term bigh seas was used to designate open or unenclosod waters of the ocean, but that there has been a development of the term, and that it does not now have the significance formerly at- taching to it. The Mediterranean, he says, nas come to be regarded as high sea and the great lakes with their immense territory come within the same construction and can- not be excluded on the ground that they are fresh and not salt water bodies. The statute of the United States for punishment of the offenses on the high seas and convecting waters, he holds, was intended to apply to all navigable waters outside the jurisdiction of any particular state. He believed it was a matter, not of local name, buv of fact, and the designation, ‘great lakes,” could not withhold jurisdiction where waters were open to fi navigation of other countries. Justice G dissented, saying he was un- able toagree to the hypothesis of congress in saying high seas could mean the great The justice held to the ancient ana long accepted term of high s i that n a penal stutute the pr titled to all reasonable doubt.

The amount in- volved is $238,000. * Detined Justice NEWS FOR THE ARMY. List of Changes In the Regular Service as Annuunced Yesterday.

General Wheaton's Troups Will Patrol the Mexican Border, Wasninroy, Nov. 20.—The troubles on the Mexican border have assumed more serious proportions than the officials here were at first led to anticipate. On Satur- day last Senor Romero, the Mexican min- ister, informed the State department that he had received information from his gov- ernment that & band of twenty-five men were organizing on the Texas side of the Rio Grande for the purpose of crossing mnto Mex- ico at a point neav San Elizario. The matter was immediately referred ta the War d partmentand General Wheaton, commanding the Department of “lexas, was telegraphed to take steps to prevent them from crossing. He replied that Major Hinton had been sent to San Elizario with one com- pany of infantry in wagons and that a detachment of thirty cavalrymen had also left for tbe samo point, but no traces of the band had been found. The residents informed the troops that they had not secn or heard of the organization. It appears from later information that the troops were misled. The Mexican minister called on the State department again today and informed the secrotary that he had received advices that another band of sixty-five men had crossed near El Paso. He also complained that the Texas autnoritics had taken no steps to pre- vent the violation of the neutrality law, though they had information of the fact that the band was organized. This infor- mation has been telegraphed to General Wheaton, and it is probable that he will at once -take steps to patrol the frontier and {mn.auup toany further violations of the aw. WILL WILL BE KEADY MONDAY. On that Day the New Democratic Tarlr BI Will Be Mads Publie, WasmiNaroN, Nov. 20.—The ways and means committee will probably give out the new tariff bill on Monday next. The demo- cratic members are now devoting most of their time in conference attempting to learn, with the aid of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin and others, the exact amount of revenue that will be yielded by the various schedules under the revision contemplated by the bill, This involves de- tailed calculations and until this labor is ended no final action can be taken on any of the reports of the subcommittees The income tux provision is abeyance until the amount of reve to be raised under the other pro the bill has certainly been learncd. There seems to be no doubt of iws final adoption. This will greatly relieve the subcommittee on internal revenue and render it unlikely that there will be any increase on any of the articles embraced 1n the intern:l revenue schedules except whisky, The tax on beer and tobacco will be probably allowed to re- main, though a small increase of the whisky tax is quite probable. Night sessions are now to be held regu- larly by the dewocratic members until the bill'is completed. Movement of Sliver Dollars. ‘Wasumixaron, Nov. 20.—The movement of the staudard silver dollars for the week ended November 18 was #031,650, and for the corresponding period of 1892, §65.764.

A cold, drizzling rain set in shortly before 6 o'clock and continued during the entive evening. The storm, how ever, did not interferc either with the parade or tne celebration at the'Lansing theater, the building being packed to suf- focation. The parade 1 streets of the arched through the principal ity shortly before 8 o'cloci. It was ss 10 spite of the rain and was witn y an immense crowd, which lined the strects along the route. There were a number of bands,the Lincoln Flambeau club, with torches and fireworks, the Umversity cadets and various republican organizations. A large number of transparencies were borne in the line, some of which read as fol- low “Republican Majorities Bring Good Times.” “Maxwell is to Be Pitied.” ‘Ne- braska Turned Down Repudiation,” ne Ber Has Lost Its Sting.”" “Pension Vetoes Are Dangerou “McKinley: Governor in '08—President in '06." Distingaished Ohjects Not Present. Considerablo aisappointment was pressed over the failure of Frank D. Jack- son, governor-olect of lowa, to show up. e telegraphed that he would be unable to at- tend. Judge Harrison, in honor of whose election the celebration tonight was held, telegraphed that he would be unable to be present. The celebration at the opera house was in- augurated by Governor Crounse, who, after u orief introduction from Brad Slaughte spoke o brief and expressive welcome. Among other things he sald “This is our year for rejoicing. As I recollect we dian't engage very extensively in that business a year ago. Lastyear it was the other fellows, the Dolly Varden, crazy quilt aggregation of anything-to-beat- the-republicans, who had been standing out in the cold for a third of the century, who vounded the drums, burned the rea lights and yelled as though pandemonium had been let loose. Those Who Rejoiced Last Year. “Every freo trader who is willing to seo American labor upon a Kuropean pauver basis,rejoiced. All the rascals who wanted 10 pay honest obligations #ith dishonest dol- lars were glad, while the whole horde of oftice seckers yelied like a pa of thought they sniffed carcass in the distance. Added se was that.army of poor, deluded innocents who had been taught by dema- gogues to believe that with the defeat of the republicans the millennium would be ushered in, when there would be no ‘robber tariff, no drouth or failure of crops; that wheat would rise to #1 per bushel, and that greenbacks aund shinplasters would down upon them like manna from heaven, But, oh, what a difference in the morning. “Tor eight weary months they have baen waiting and the promised . millennium is not in sight. On the contrary, the country,after dosing with democracy, could uppropriately adopt the inscription found on the tomb- stone of that once healthy gentleman who dosed himself too strongly with quack med- wine, and which reads: ‘I was well; I wanted to be better, and here Iam.’ The country was well. It was never better. Uunder republican rule it had risen to the front of nations. 1t excelled all others in point of wealth, in the extent of its agricul- ture and manufactures. Its credit at home and abroad was excellent. Its exports were in excess of imports and money was flowing into our coffers, Our currency was equal to the best in the world. The industries of the nation were active and labor found employ- ment at the best of wages, and never before did a dollar buy more than a year ago. Effects of a Change. “But the change was insisted upon and 1t came, and with it has come the results that might be naturally expected. Van Alen has received the price of his contribution aud goes 10 Rome. The south is in the saddle, but what of the poor country? The last eight months have been a record of bank- rupeies, bank failures and disasters. Uuder the threat of hostile legislation three- fourths of the manufactories of the country are closed. A million men who a year ago found employment at good wuges today are idle or working on short time. The deluded workmen who were induced to vote with their natural enemnes, the free traders, are repentimg around soup houses. The people have awakened to n sense of the situation, as is shown by the result of the 7th of this month, By their verdict they have de- clared that the democratic varty is not to be trusted. The verdict in Ohio, where the issue was so squarely made, shows that the people are in favorof the doctrine of protection to American industries and American laborers. No, the people have de- clared that they have no further use for a party whose success is so quickly followed by the revival of anarchy in Illinois, an at- tempt to degrade the bencn in New York, loss of credit and good name in Kansas and stagnation of business and financial aistross throvghout the country. Nebraska DIQ Her Part, “Nebraska, in common with others, has much upon which to congratulate herself, She did her part toward the grand result of the 7th. She might even have done better, She is a republican state by a large majority, Let us aim to harmonize all the elements that should naturally work with us, As was done in the case of Judge Harrison, let's put forward for ofice men who command the re- spect of all, and when in office let the affairs of the state be conducted with that honesty. and economy which will bear the.closest scrunity.” Brad Siaughter's Eulogy of Democracy, Brad D. Slaughter responded to the gov- ernor’s welcome on bebalf of tho visitors from out of the city. He complimentea in- coln for her enterprise, and said that Ne- braska felt proud of her capital city for the reason that Lancaster county was never found wanting when a glorious republican victory wus needed. He then brauched oft nto an eutogy of the republican party, call- ing attention to the marked difference in the growth, prosperity and a’hievements of the great ropublican states of the north as compared with the democratic states of the south. Wherevor the country found pros- perity and workingmen’s homes there 1t found republicanism. Where the country found ignorauce, poor white trash, and tho horse and cow hitched together at the plow, where they rmsed more hell than corn, there it found democracy. He then read telegrams of regret from Governor Jucksou of lowa and Judge Hurrison and then intro- duced John L. Webster. Webster on the Party’s Glory. Mr. Webster took up his theme some- where prior to 1776 and pursued it all the way down to Gresham's letter. He grouped in a more or less effective way a galaxy of the grandest names that glow from history's pages, framed them with choice quotations from poets and polemic writers and set as a background to the whole & vivid picture of & stage ride to the summiv of the Rocky mountains. This ride he likened to the rise of the republican ; the road, the dim- culties over which the organization nad boldly made 1ts way ; the glorious vista from the summit, the grandeur of the party's achievements, and the huge peaks that stood out in silent majesty were the leaders of the frllld old party who had successfully guided U to greatuess. Grover Cleveland's election was the reversal of the picture, the return from the mountain heights through the gloomy forests to the level plainof medi- ocrity. ¥ram the results of the late elaciion he reud a rebuke to the free trade element of the dominant party in congress, and prophesied a glorious return to power of the republicans after the next election. r. Webster amused the audience with a ex- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, | number of stories and his remarks were froquently interrupted with applause. Demands of 1894, Church Howe came next,fo respond to the toast: *“Tho Old Veteran tnd [lis Sons."

They must all be good, clean men, with unblemished character and unassail- able records, Mr. Howe paid his respects to the demo- cratic party, charactyrizing Cleveland as a dictator who ignored both branches of con gress. The democratic party, he said, would redeem none of its platform pledges, It might take the tariff off of molasses and DUt it on sugar, or from eges and place it on poultry. but it daved not_change any more than the name of the McKinley bill. Turning to the pension question, tho speaker ascribed_the result of the repub lican victories in New York, Ohio and Towa 1 the roturnof the veterans Lo the repub- lican party. Republican victory was made possible Nebraska only by the return of 10,000 soldiers’ votes to the party. Young men, he said, did not realize what 1t cost in blood to save the union and protect the flag, He urged them not to cast their political fortunes with the men who thirty-three years ago sought to destroy the government. His remarks were highly eulogistic of the union soldiers and were tveceived by marked demonstrations of approval, Omaha's Own, H. D. Estabrook was the next introauced, and he caused a shout from the galleries by saying that Lincoln was to be congravulated on the fact that she bore 5o great a name, that she was so reliably republican, and be- cause she had a republican newspaper. Then Mr. Estabrook launched into his ad- dress, which was by all odds the most eloquent,the most polished and the most witty of the evening. @ alternately thrilled the audience by his brilliant rounded periods, and convulsed them with his humorovs references to the plight of daemocracy. He sat aown in a storm of applause, and in re- sponse to repeated and vehement calls for more brought out another purst of cheers by remarking: ‘‘Gentlemen, you must ex- cuse me. My name is not Senator Allen." Congressman Dave Mercer was next in- troduced as a republican who had been clected in the Second district in spite of Tue Omana Be He claimed that the election of Judge Holeomb would have in- jured Nebraska to the extent of millions of de rs and given her credit a blow from which she would not have vecovered for mauny years. Mr. Mercer drew most of his inspiration for his address from his observa- tions and exverience in congress, laying especial stress upon the illegality of election methods in the south. Judge Lansing's Views. The closing uddress of the evening was de- livered by Judge I. M. Lansing, the Singing Pilgrim of Nebraska politics. Judge Lan- sing bears the reputation of being the best story teller in the state. aud he lost none of his reputation in his opening remarks.

In his argument_before the court Judge Walkeley, who spoke for the state, made the following points: At the expiration of Treasurer Hill's torm of office ho had in his hands the sum of $1,444.550.42 belonging to the state, and which it was bis duty to pay over to his successor; that ho failed to pay over or ac- count for that sum, or any part thereof, ex- cept that he paidand vuriied over some small sums of money and certificates of deposit which he induced his successor to_accept in place of the money: and that although his successor had realizod moneys to some ex- tent upon such securities, Il had failed and refused to pay over or account fo manner whatever the sum of £61,: The faiiure of the treasurer to pay this money did not localize an_action’ there- for in Lancaster county. It was & general failure to pay itoerat any time or any vlace. A petition mercly alleging that he did not pay_over the mioaey in Lancaster county would have been demurrable. ‘There- fore the cause of action did not arise in any particular county. Wakeley's Strong Point. Judge Wakeley laid great stress upon the reading of section 174 of the revenue laws of the state, which he read to the court as fol- low: Section 174. (Jurisdiction and power of court.) When suit is wstituted in behal? of the state, it may be in any court of record in this state having jurisdiction of the amount, and process may be directed to any county ‘of the state. If any proccedings against any ofticer or person whose duty 1t 1s to reccive, collect, settle for or pay over any of the revenus of the State whether the proceedings be brought by su on the bond of such offic otherwise, the court in which such proceed- ings are pending shall have power in a sum- mary way to compel such ofticer or person to exhibit on oath a full and fair statement of all moneys by him ¢ i or which ought to be and to disclose all such matters and things as may be necessary to o full understanding of the case, and the court may, upon haaring, give judgment for such sum or sums of moncy as such officer or person is liable in law to pay.” Controverted by the Defense. to tho above arguments the at- lege that section 174 of the revenue laws must be read in con- nection with section 173, which provides that *upon the failure of any county treas- urer to make settlement with the auditor, the auditor shall sue the treasurer and his sureties upon the bond of such treasure or sue the treasurer in such form as may be necessary, and take all such proceedings, eithor upon such bond or otherwise, as may be necessary to protect the interests of the state. This section, taken in connection with sec- tion 174. allege the attorneys for the de- fense, refers exclusively to a suit brought by the auditor for the stuteand to suits against county treasurers or county collect- ors. To sum up the argument of the de- fense it may be stated that they alleged that the present action is not covered by section 174 above quoted: and that actions brought by the state of Nebraska and not by the auditor are not affected by sec- tion 174, For & Congressman’s Arrcst. Deputy Sherifft Hoagland has a warrant in his inside pocket which catls for the arrest of one W. A. McKeighan, member of ess from the Fifth district of Ne- ska, and the distinguished gentleman will be served with a copy of the document as soon as he comes within reach of the officer, providing, of course, that he doesnot avail himself of his rights of exemp ton, aceorded to all members of congress by the constitution of the United States. A. L. Hoover,one of the proprietors of the Hotel Lindell of this city, went before Deputy County Attorney Collins this after- noon and swore out a complaint against Congressman McKeighan, charging him with unlawfully, and with intent to cheat and defraud, procuring board and lodging without rendering a fair equivalent in cash for the same. The complaint recites that McKeighan remained at the Lindell from January 4 until February 26, 1803, and during that time mneglected to pay the charges against him, although no contract implied or other- wise was made for any credit whatsoever, Judge Lansing issued the warrant upon the complaint this afternoon and it was placed in the hands of Deputy Shent Hougland for service, Congressman McKeighan came to Lincoln last winter and remained here during the senatorial contest. He had a suite of rooms at the Lindell and considered himself as one of the candidates for United States senator, The complaint is made through no political motives. The Messrs, Hoover, proprietors of the hotel, state that vhey only want what is honestly due them and baye only adopted extreme measures after everything else has failed. g DODGE COUNTY LITIGATION, 20,— - Distriot Court Busy with Numerous Criminal Cases—Fremont Afairs, Fremont, Nov. 20.—[Special to Tug Bex, | —District court convened here this morning with Judge Marshall on the bench, The week will be devoted to the criminal calen- dar, 8s there are quite & large number of cases to bo disposed of, George Veenker was arraignea and pleaded guilty to breaking into the dwelling of Clar- ence Wallace and stealing $40 worth of jew- elry.

B. N. Biles, given to nis predecessor, James Reynard, and turned over 1o him as “cash on hand.” Since that time Mr. Biles bas failed and the note, of course, is dead property. It is understood that the city council will be asked to demand of Reynard’s bondsmen the $1,000 which he unlawfully losned to Biles. At first Mr. Forbes expressed a willingness to turn in his property 1o help make up the deficit. but it 18 now understood that he refuses to do so. Much speculation is rife as to who will be appoiuted by the council 1 argu- | | ing Mrs, Mary b | class to fill the position of troasurer until next eleotion. At a meeting of the city council tonight the resignation of City Treasurer A, W. Forbes was presonted and accepted, and W H. Fowler was appointed to fill the vacancy. The shortage was estimated at #4 89774, but this isnot the final reportof the investt gating committeo and it is not known whether the Biles note was taken into ac- count or not.
