In Vol, 38 of Neb. Supreme
court reports, on page 63, the case
of the Stute o Nebraska vs. John
E. Hill ct al. is reported. This
case was tried in Douglas county
before Judge Davis. It was a suit
by the State of Nebraska to re
cover from the bondsmen of John
E. Hill, who had been treasurer of
the state of Nebraska, the sum of
$236,361. 60, which he, as treasurer,
had deposited in the Capital Na
tional bank of Lincoln, without re
quiring a good and sufficient bond
as prescribed by law. Many of
the bondsmen resided in Omaha
and Douglas county, some of them
In Lincoln and others in other
parts of the state. The attorney
general commenced the suit in
Douglas county, where he was able
to get personal service upon many
of the bondsmen. When the case
was called for trial the bondsmen
all made special appearance to ob
ject to the jurisdiction of the court
on the ground that the action was
improperly brought in Douglas
county. They fought the case upon
this point to the supreme court of
the state, where they had their
men in the majority and were able
to effectually and forever prevent
the state from recovering from the
bondsmen of John E. Hill the
nount which it had lost through
(lis negligent acts. The decision
was made by Chief Justice Norval
nd Judge A. M, Post, over a dis
tenting opinion of Justice Samuel
Maxwell. This opposition of Max
well to the ringsters set them all
Btrongly against him and they have
fought as a unit ever since any at
tempt by the people to again gain
control of the highest court in the
6tate. His dissenting opinion was
splendidly written. He points
out in our own state in the
case of the state vs. Keim (in
the 8th Nebraska, 67), where a
former state treasurer had deposi
ted $2,000 in a bank at Falls City
and the bank failed and an.attempt
was made to settle the loss on the
Btatc. The court in that case held
that the treasurer and his bondsmen
must make good the loss. This de
cision was made in the early days,
before the banks and railroads had
learned the value and advantages
to be had by owning and controll
ing the highest court in the state.
Norval and Post succeeded in this
case in protecting the ring. Nor
val now expects the ring to pro
tect him. When they made this
decision they well understood that
it' made no difference if Maxwell
did dissent for there would be no
opportunity in this case as there
was in the case of Thayer vs. Boyd
to take the case to the supreme
court of the U. S. and their deter
mine which was right and which
was wrong.
To Populists.
Every populist in Nebraska
should' work for the election of
Maxwell from now till the close of
the campaign. He should see that
every liberal republican, every
honest democrat, every prohibi
tionist and every friend of good
government in his precinct is con
verted to the right side. He
should see also that all these men
go to the polls; that he himself and
every other populist in his precinct
gets out on election day. This
latter is all important. We have
been frequently defeated in this
tate because of stay-at-home
voters. It must be remembered
that there are over two thousand
voting precincts in Nebraska, and
one populist stay-at-home in each
precinct will make a difference of
over two thousand in the state and
the result of the election frequent
ly turns on an amount no larger
than this Populists have two
duties to perform in this cam
paign. First, to get everyone they
can to vote for ludcre Maxwell:
j o
Eecond, to see that every populist
anu every possible Maxwell vote
is
at the polls on election day.
5)omocruts Should Support Max
voll.
When the citizenship of Gov.
Boyd was before the supreme
court in 1891, the majority ol that
court, in a partisan spirit, voted
to deprive him of his office. Judge
Maxwell, too great to lend himself
to such an act of injustice, wrote a
dissenting opinion.
That dissenting opinion was up
held by the United States su
preme court.
All free silver democrats es-
Eecially should vote for Maxwell,
early two years ago he came out
unqualifiedly n favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
16 to 1. There is no chance of
Mr. Phelps' election; there is no
chance of Mr. Mahoney's election.
The only way the democrats of
Nebraska can defeat the railroad
republican candidate is to vote for
Judge Maxwell.
It is argued in some quarters
that the various factions of demo
crats should vote for their own
candidate in order to make a good
showing to get into the democratic
convention next year. This fact,
however, ought to be plain to
everyone. If the gold standard
element controls the next national
convention, the gold standard
delegates from this state will be
seated; if the free silver men con
trol it, the free silver delegation
will be seated, aud this will be
true, whatever may be the vote
for the various democratic candi
dates this fall. No purpose can
be served by democrats voting for
their own candidate for Midge, ex
cept it be to help elect Norval.
I his result certainly no honest
democrat desires.
Republicans Should Support Max-
woll.
All anti-monopoly republicans
should support Maxwell for su
preme judge, l'or the good of the
state, for the benefit ol the tax
payers, they should rise above all
question of party, even as he has
done. They should do this to re-
bukc the railroad domination of
their own party, which caused the
grand old jurist to be turned down.
1 hey should do it because Max
well is the best, the ablest, the
most industrious and the fairest
supreme judge we ever had.
Ihey should do it, because their
own candidate, Norval, is con
trolled by the 13. & M. railroad;
was an attorney of that road before
he went on the bench; was nomi
nated through the influence of that
road to defeat Judge Reese whom
they could not use, and has decided
every important case that has come
before him involving 13. & M. in
terests in favor of that road; and
farther because he is nowhere
recognized as an able jurist. Re
publicans can never break the
railroad domination of their own
party until they teach the railroad
satraps a few wholesome lessons.
One of those lessons can be given
this fall, by the triumphant elec
tion of Judge Maxwell to the su
preme bench, from which he was
driven at the dictation of Czar
Holdrege, of the B. & M.
The issue is plain. It is Max
well and the people, or Norval and
the railroads.
Ninotojf nth Century Advico.
My young friend, whatever you
do, do it according to law. If the
law don t allow you to do what
you .want to, you can have it
changed when you get inonej'
enough. The laws are made by
the rich and tor the rich, so that
nothing is needed but to get injo
the ring. It is better not to vio
late law, at least openly, because
people have a curious reverence
for what they call order. They
make a fetich of it; but that is just
as well, for we can use their fetich
ism to stir them up against the
under class if they struggle too
hard when we squeeze them.
Get all the money you can, be
cause society will judge you by
what you own. Do hot give much
attention to cultivating your brain,
at least that part not concerned
with "business" methods. Society
does not go much on that sort of
thing.
Never steal unless you see a
chance to get a million. If you
take less, you will be arrested, and
that is inconvenient. It interrupts
your work, and may lose you
social position. A big steal is all
right. The la. vs are made for it.
It is a good thing, though, after
having stolen ten millions, to
found a college. It costs only half
a million, and people will call you
a philanthropist. It pays. Gould
made a mistake, He didn't start
a college. Haven't you noticed
how the newspapers criticised Jay,
and how the preachers warned
their audiences against following
suit? Compare that with the
praise showered upon Rockefeller
by editors and preachers. That is
because Johnny founded a college
and Jay didn t. lieside, Johnny
understood the law better. He
stole as much as Jay, but he
owned more judges. Jay was not
up in all fine points. He was
some at it, though. Edgar James
