Tf Mr. Morgan of Alabama , chairman of
the sen mo committee on foreign relations ,
defends the actions of President Cleveland
townnl Hawaii , as has been intimated by
Hint gentleman lli.it no intends doing , Itvill
create pi-eat surprise.
It Is true tlmt Mr. Morgan U the brainiest
representative of his party In congress , nnd
bfllug : il the head of the foreign relations
committee , which has solo jurisdiction over
nil questions relating to lntcrtmtlon.nl
aTiiIrs ( , ho milir.nlly drifts into the leader
ship of tlio ndministration side of tlio
problem , lint his omlncnt ability and con-
* l > lcuous fairness have marked him as
ono who would nsium ? a strictly Judicial at
titude nnd point out the proper course for
thoadnilnlHtrntlon to tako. On account of
his great learning in International affairs
nnd his record as an Ini | < urllal advocate In
nil qiicitlnns involving the standing of the
United States nbroart , President Harrison
selected him for the licring sea commission.
I'o wig nlso requested by a republican no >
ministration to servo on the International
monetary conference. Ho ban on a number
of occasions been pointed out as suitable
tnnbci for judicial structures nnd ns A con
spicuous jurist , oven when considering u
question tinged with partisan prejudice.
Senator Morgan led the fight which was
taken up by President Harrison in favor of
the Ntcar.igim canal being inndu n property
Interest of the United States and completed
nt the expense of our government. In short ,
ho has been the conspicuous democrat In
congress who has for many years stood up
in favor of Americanism and the broadening
nnd strengthening of our International prin
ciples.
'Jlcvaluiul mill ( ] n > ft1iiiitTiint Him.
U has been nn-opon secret about the sen-
nta for many du.vs that the administration
lias been soliciting the good olllccs and sup
port of Senator Morgan in tlio Hawaiian
dlfllouH.v. With him the president nnd Sec
retary Oieshaui have felt that they could
manngo to make something of n showing of
good intention before the country ; but with
him against them they know they would oo
without any real support. It will tuko a
direct announcement from Senator Morgan
himself to make the Intelligent men In
Washington understand that the Alabaman
would so fur retrace his stops in favor of
American progress and the upholding of our
Hag on the seas and In foreign lands as to
support oven in a feeble degree the un-
American policy which this administration
has introduced on the Sandwich islands.
The administration has been In n stew
over the selection of its defenders In con
gress for several days. Unfortunately the
men who huvqllgurcd us "international law
yers" and thinkers upon foreign relations
have not been the most popular , if indeed
the strongest men in the democratic column.
The administration lias singled-out and sum
moned to the white house or Stuto depart
ment the strangest democrats in congress
nnd requested them to taltc the leadership
in the Hawaiian donates. Some of them
have frankly acknowledged their inability to
compass tlio subject , while others have
'flatly refused to enter the small list of de
fenders. In any international discussion the
republicans nro so much stronger than the
democrats in congress that , even though they
were on the wrong side , they could outwit
and moro than master their adversaries.
Tlilnlts It Wilt Ho Forced.
"I think you will bo surprised at the
rapidity with which the Wilson tariff bill
will bo forced into law , nnd disappointed
over the few amendments which will bo
, mada to that measure after it leaves the
ways and moans committee room , " said
Representative Henry U. Johnson of Indi
ana , one of the brightest and most effective
of the many strong republicans in congress.
Mr. Johnson said further :
"I am afraid that manufacturers and
others intcstcd in the republican principles
of protection have bcon depending too much
upon the republican minority in congress.
They have boon hoping , if they have not
really been expecting , that wo would bo able
to secura material modulations of the
Wilson bill after it merges from the ways
and means committee and then the tinanco
committee. Of course the republicans
-would bo only too glad to"savo as many
of their republican principles us possible ,
but U docs not now appear to bo within
their power to avail anything , on account of
the exceedingly largo democratic majority.
You can add every protection democrat in
the house to the republican side , and then
the free traders will have a majority of ilfty
or sixty. You can add to the republican
side In the senate the two or three democratic
cratic- senators who nro credited with in
clining toward protection , nnd yet the frco
traders in the senate will have a clear work
ing majority of four or live men when they
como to consider the tariff bill. I think the
republicans have miscalculated the inten
tions of the democrats in respect to a re
vision of the tariff. Wo have seen so much
wrangling nnd confusion and lack of har
mony among the democrats that wo have
until recently believed that they would bo
uuablo to stuud together upon any subject.
Wlirrn llemucniry Looms Up.
'When It conies to taking tlio life blood
out of American industries the democrats
will stand together almost as ono man.
There will , of course , bo found individual
democrats who will contend for un addi
tional duty upon this or that article manu
factured In his district , but the odds on his
own aide will be so heavy against him that
ho will bo voted down. It is my judgment
tlmt the bill will become law substantially
as it will bu reported from tlio ways and
moans committee room. There nmy be
chnngcs in the measure when it roaches the
flnunco committee , nnd , as wo have said , It
may bo dlsllgiired , distorted out of its
original semblance , but the frcO trade fea
tures of It > vll | not bo nutoriully injured ,
"Tnc democrats at llrst were inclined to
bo leisurely ubout getting their tariff bill
into law , but they have shifted their track
and Intend to facilitate or expedite the work
to the greatest possible degree. They really
havu an Idea that when the Wilson bill gets
Into law It will revive husinoa , but they
realize that commercial aftulra uro going to
bo disastrously dull until there Is u readjust
ment of the conditions under the Wilson
tariff law. The democrats realize that there
cannot bo a readjustment before the election
of another congress , next November , but
they uro c-oulldont that everything will bo '
In full blast under the new tariff law by No
vember , ISUt ) , and their only hope is to win a
victory in the next presidential contest. "

The notion of the county attorney In dls-
missing the cases against the asylum bood-
lors has created n great deal of comment In
Uncolu. Aside from the Immodlato per
sonal friends or the a'ccusod the goucral sen-
tlinent U that the county attorney has
evaded hta full duty In the promises. It Is n
well known fact that ouo of the indicted
men made a direct proposition to turn state's
evidence and glvo to a Jury the whole con
spiracy to rob the state , and that the county
attorney declined to accept the testimony.
The man was Frank O. Ilubbnird. After
ttio Investigation which led to the indict
ment was commenced Hubbard left the
state and went to I'ortluml , Oro. When ho
was indicted ho was not arrested , for tlio
reason that ho could not bo .found. Later In
the winter ho returned to Nebraska for the
purpose of giving hlmsolf up , with the
'Understanding ' that ho would bo permitted
to glvo his cvldonco against the men who
had been indicted. Ho went to Crete where
ho engaged the sorvlecs-of Attorney F.I.
Foss. The attorney malio a spectllo propo
sition in writing to the attorney general
offering Frank Hubbard's testimony for a
guarantee of Immunity from punishment.
At the thno the proposition was made it
was expected that tno attorney general
would assist in the prosecution of the in-
dieted parties.
KoTuacd the livlilpnco. -
When the attorney general learned that
ho was not to Uo permitted or invited to
assist in the prosecution ho addressed a letter -
tor to the county attorney of Lancaster
county , making ttio proposition submitted
to . him by Hubbaru and his attorneys.
County ' Attorney AVoodward declined to per
mit Ilubbard' to glvo his evidence against
the accused men and put his declination in
writing. The proposition to him from Hub-
bard's attorneys and his declination to
accept the ituiio are both in writing and
both have been weserved for any emergency
that may call for their production.
Hero is a statement of fnctsihat | the county
attorney will have to answer for to the
people who'cntrusted him with the oBlco ho
now holds. Ilubbard was' a straw mixn in
the whole conspiracy to dofrauci the stato.
Ho received but a few dollars where the men
at the beau and front of the conspiracy ro-
colvc-d hundreds. lie was , as n prominent
attorney of this city who is in possession of
all the facts in the case expresses it , in ore
sinned against than sinning. Ho was but
the instrument in the hands of the men who
were systematically defrauding the state
and hud ho been guaranteed immunity from
punishment for tlio $30 and odd dollars
which ho received and permitted to give his
evidence on bohalfof the state the county
attorney would have been in possession of
the positive evidence that he now complains
he was unable to procure.
Trmli that Wore Merely Farces.
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. Sncll and Gilkcrson , presented the
evidence at their disposal in as forcible a
manner as any one could have done. No
body disputes tnat. Nobody challenges the
eloquence of the arguments nindo by
the state's attorneys. .Everybody admits
that the cases were i. as ably pre
sented as possible under the circum
stances. But the character of the testimony
offered by the defense and the flimsy pretexts -
texts given tao Jury upon which to hang
verdicts of acquittal have excited the de
rision of all honest people in Lincoln. For
instance , bank tellers who daily pay out
largo sums of money over the counters toolc
the stand and swore that lliov could not
identify signatures of men who almost daily
transact business at their banks. In one
case it was proven Unit certain supplies had
been sold to ono of the contractors for so
much. The testimony of the man who sold
the goods , of the drayman who hauled them
and of thu man who received them all cor
roborated the fact. The defense made no
attempt to prove to the contrary. Tlio state
proved that iho bill had been raised before
it reached the state and that the state
board allowed pay for more supplies in this
instance than were actually delivered. And
yet the Jury brought in a verdict of acquit
tal.
Another Msnlllcint : Instance.
On the evening after the evening that ono
of the indicted men was acquitted ho stated
to tlio roprcscntativo of THE I3nu tnnt while
he worried n great deal over tlio matter ho
had never for a nihuito believed that ho
would bo convlotod. "I staid at the court
house last evening. " ho said , "waiting for
the verdict. After awhile I hoard our
fellows cheering In the jury room and I
know at once that tlio fellows who had been
hanging back hid como over to our fellows'
sidu. "
The general public is very apt to doubt the
sincerity of men who are placed on n Jury
upon their oath that they are unprejudiced
and have no interests in the matter except
to render u fair and impartial verdict , and
then become so enthusiastically impressed
with the evidence in favor of the accused
that they can bo moved to cheers in tno
jury room.
sample of Lincoln Opinion.
Of the three daily newspapers in Lincoln
ono of tticm , and the publio need not bo told
which one , has nothing to say this morning
concerning the action of the county attorney
in dismissing the cases. The evening pupoi-3 ,
however , express themselves very forcibly
upon the matter. Tno Evening News says
