AS CLEVELASD'S CHAMPION Alabama's Senior Senator Said to Be Oon- sidering the Unpleasant Position.

On account of his great learning in international affairs and his record as an impartial advocate in all questions involving the standing of the United States abroad, President Harrison selected him for the Bering sea cotamission. Fowas also requestea by a republican aa- ministration to serve on the international monetary conference. Ho has on a number of occasions been pointed out as suitable timber for judicial structures and as a con- spicuous jurist, oven when considering a question tinged with partisan prejudice Senator Morgan led the fight which was taken up by President Harrison in favor of the agua canal being mado a property intorest of tho United States and comploted at the expense of our government, In short, he has been the couspicuous democrat in congress who lias for many years stood up in favor of Americanism and the broadening and strengthening of our international prin- ciples. Clevelnnd and Gresham Want Him, It has been anopen secret about the sen- ato for sthat the administration has be 12 the good offices and sup- port of Senator Morgan in the Hawaiian diffculty.

Unfortunately the men who have figured as “international law- yers" and thinkers upon foreign relations have not been the most popular, if indeed the strongest men in the democ ic column, The administration hus singled-out and sum- moned to the white house or State dopart- ment the strongest democrats in congress and requested them to take the leaaership in the Liawaiian debates. Somoe of them have frankly acknowledged their inability to compass the subject, while others have flatly refused to entcr the small list of de- fenders. In any international discus republicans are so much stronger an the democrats in congress that, even though they wore on the wrong side, they could outwit and more than master their adversavies. Thinks It Will Be Forced. “I think you will be surprised at the rapidity with which the Wilson tariff bill will ‘bo forced into law, and disappointed over the fow amendments which will be made to that measure after it es the ways and means committee room,” said Representative Henry U. Johuson of Indi- ana, one of the brightest and most offective of the many strong republicans in congress. Mr. Johnson said further: “I am afraid that manufacturers and others intested in the republican principles of protection havo been depending too much upon the republican minority in congress They have been hoping, if they have not really been expecting, that we would be able to secure material modifications of the Walson bill after it merges from tho ways and means committeo and then the finance committee. Of course the republicans would be only too glad to'save as many of their republican priucipies as possible, but it does mot mow appear to bo within their power to avail auything, on account of the exceedingly largn democratic majori You can add every protection democrat in the house to the republican side, the free traders will huve a major} orsixty. You can add to the side in the senate the two or threo demo cratic senators who are credited with in- clining toward protection, and yet the free traders in the senate will have i clear work- ing majority of four or five men when they come to consider the tariff bill. I think the republicans have miscalculated the inten- tious of the democrats 1n respect to o re- vision of the tariff. We have seen so_mucn wrangling and confusion und lack of har- mony among the democrats that we have until recently believed that they would be unable to stund together upou any subject. Whero Democracy Looms Up, “When it comes to taking the life blood out of American Industries the democrats will stand together almost as one man. There will, of course, be found individual democrats ‘who will contend for an addi- tlonal duty upon this or that article munu- factured in his district, but the odds on his own side will be so heavy against him that he will be voted down. 1t is my judgment that the bill will become law substantially a8 it will bo reported from the ways and means committee room. There may be changes in the measuro when it reaches the finance committee, and, as we have said, it may bo disfigured, distorted out of 'its original semblance, but the frea trade foa- tures of it will not be materially injured he democrats at first wero inclined to be leisurely about getting their tariff bill 1o law, but they have shifted their track and intend to facilitate or expedite tho work 10 the greatest possible dogree. They really have an idea that when the Wilson il gots into law it will revive business, but they realiz that commercial affairs ure goine to bo disastrously dull until there is a roadjust- went of the couditions under the Wilson tariff law. The domocrats realize that thero cannot be a readjustment before the election of another congress, next November, but they ure confident that everything will_be in full blast under the new tariff law by No- vember, 1890, and their only hope is to win & wictory in the next presidential contest.” To Relleve uent Settlers. Repeesentative Mercer has contrived a plan for relieving the settlers on the Pawnee reservation. Tho act of 1876 opened the reservation to settlemont and the act of 18(0) forfeited all claims 10 eatries for nonpay- ment.

(REATED MUCH COMMENT | Lincola People Not Satisfied with Dismissals of Asylum Cases. QUESTIONABLE FEATURES OF THE TRIALS Offer of One of the Accased to Faratsh Evi- nce Necessary to Conviet His Panton Refused by the State's Representative. om- LixcoLs, Dec. 13 pecintl to Tre Ber.] — The action of the county attorney in dis- missing the cases against the asylum bood- lers has created a great deal of comment in Lincoln, Aside from the immediate per- sonal friends of the accused the general sen- timent is that the county attorney has evaded his full duty in the premises. It is a well known fact that one of the indicted men made a direct proposition to turn st evidence and give to a jury the wholo con- spiracy to rob the state, and that the county attorney declined to accept the testimony. The man was Frank O, Hubbard., After tho investigation which lod to the indict- ment was commenced Hubbard left the state and went to Portland, Ore. When he was indicted he was not arvesied, for the reason that he could not be found. Later in the winter he returned to Nebraska for the purpose of giving himself up, with the understanding that he would be permitted to give his evidonco against the men who had been indicted. He went to Crete where he engaged the services-of Attorney K. I Foss. The attorney made a specific propo- sition in writing to the attorney general offering Frank Hubbard’s testimony for a guarantee of immunity from punishment. At the time the proposition was made 1t was expected that tne attornoy goneral would ussist in the prosecution of the in- dicted parties. I d the Kvidence. When the attorney general learned that he was not to be permitted or invited to assist in the prosecution he addressed a let- tor to the county attorney of Lancaster county, making the proposition submitted to him by Hubbara and his attorneys. County Attorney Woodward declined to per- mit Hubbard: to give his_evidence against the accused men and put his declination in . The proposition to him from Hub- attorneys aud his declination to accept the samo are both in writin both ha od for any emergency that may eall for thew produetion, Here is a statement of factslihiat tho county attorney will have to auswer for ‘o the people who'entrusted him with the offico he now holds, Hubbard was*a straw man in the whole conspiracy to defraud the state, He received but a few dollars where the men at the liead aud front of tho conspiacy ro- ceived hundreds. He was, s a prominent attorney of this city who is in_possession of cts in the case expresses it, more sinned against than sinning. He was but the instrument in the hands of the men who were systematically defrauding the state and had he been guaranteed immunity from punishment for the $30 and odd dollars he received and permitted to give his n behalf of the state the county vould have been in possession of the positive evidence that he now complains he was unable to procure. Trinls that Were Merely Fuarcos. No one in_Lincoln except the beneficiaries of the frauds pretends that the trials were anything but farces from beginning to end. The county attorney and his assistants, Messrs. Snell and Gilkerson, presented tho cvidence at their disposal in us forcible a manner as_any one could have done. No- body disputes that. Nobody challenges tho eloquence of the arguments made by the state's attorneys. Everybody admits that the cases were .as ably pro- sented as possible under the circum- stunces. But the cuaracter of the testimony offered by the defenso and the flimsy pre- texis given tae jury upon which to hang verdicts of acquittal have excited the de- vision of ali honest people in Lincoln. For ce, bank tellers who daily pay out large sums of money over the counters took the stand and sworo that thev could not identify signatures of men who almost daily transact business at their banks. In one case it was proven that certain supplies had been sold to one of the contractors for so much. The tostimony of the man who sold the gaods, of the drayman who hauled them and of the man who ved them all cor- roborated the fact. The defense made no attempt 10 prove to tho contrary. The state proved that the bill had been raised before it reached the state and that the state board allewed pay for more supplies in this tance than were actually delivered. And you the Jury brought fu a verdict of acquit- tal. Another Signiticant Instance. On the evening after the evening that one of the indicted men was acquitted he staved 10 the representative of Tug BEE toat while he worried a great denl over the matter he had never for a minute believed that he would be convicted, “Istaid at the court liouse lusu evening.” he said, “waiting for the verdict. After awhile' I heard our fellows cheering in the jury room and 1 knew at once that the fellows who had been hunging back had come over to our fellows’ side.” The general public is very apt to doubt tho sincerity of men who are placed on a jury upon their oath that they are unprejudiced and have no interests in the mattor except to render & faivand impartial verd then become o enthusiastically impressed with the evidence mn favor of the accused thut they can be moved to cheers in the Jury room. sample of Lincoln Opinion, Of the three daily newspapers in Lincoln one of them, und the public need not be told which one, lias nothing to say this morning concerning the action of vhe county attorney in dismissing the cases, The ovening papers, however, express themselves very forcibly upon the matter. The Evening News says editorially: The dismissal by the county attorne; usylum cases is a titting ending to w aliwost. reached: the proportio While opinions m would or would uot bo o ney for the state (o ones least endeavor to soc , there will hardly be any dif us 10 tho effeot L 810D Tust’ necessarily huve upon tho s0f public officiuls.

Rellef Depariment in Conrt, Toe Burlington Volunteer Relief depart- ment is in court again with a defense which has become almost threadbare, but which still serves its purpose when the B. & M. company has to deal with its employes. It is made the defendant in a case ln\mglll b; one George Oshorne, -an employe of the B. M., who was injured while in the service of that company. He suea the company for duumg{ol and secured §237.50. He then brought s1it against the relief department for the amount he was entitled to by reason of his membership. T'he relief depuriment comes into court todiy with the same old stereotyped answer (0 the effect that inas- much as Osborve had commenced a suit ainst the company he had forfeited his rights to bisaccident insurauce by the terms of nis application for membership. The de- partment also asks that the suit be dis- missed on the grounds that it has no legal existence und therefore canuot be sued.

The city attorney makes auawer that it nad a contract with Sholes whereby he was to hold the city harmless from any suits arising out of the construction of thd’ standpipe. It ad- mits that it still owes.the Sholes estate $2,400 and it is ready and willing to pay the amount to the proper parties. All 1t wants is o legal decision diecting it to pay the money to one party or the other.
