"Frank 12. Moores had during his office
as clerk of the courts handled over $2,000,000,
of which something over $6,000 was fines
and penalties. Of tho latter It has been
charged that ho retained 11.818 longer than
the law allowed him to keep It. Yet he had
paid It over before any suit was Instituted '
against him of nny character, and tho suit
that was finally brought was simply to keep
hlrn from taking hli seat tut the republican
mayor. The referee found that It was not
shown that Moores know that tho law re
quired him to turn tho money over within
a specllled time, and Hint when ho did turn
It over the county owed him over $20,000.
Whatever censure might attach to Moores
tho chargo that ho willfully withheld the
money, Intending to ntc.il was unjustifiable.
It Is tho duty of republicans to protect them
selves", as well n otheta, from such das
tardly assaults, ami show thnt from throe
modern deinocrato ull they want Is their

Tho audience sang "Star Spangled Ban

hpoko at length. He recited the organiza
tion and objects of the Patriotic league.
He rcptutcd hl facetious remarks of Satur

upon tho same platform with IMward Hoae
water, adding that the people on the streets
nro saying that the lion and tho lamb have
lain down together anil are asking each
mher In good-humored Jest which is tho
Hon nnd which Is the lumb.
"From tho voelferotiri welcome we re
ceived," said he. "we both thought we were
Hons of the occasion and that we were equal
to the destruction of the l'oppleton lamb."
Ho ilerlaril that the republicans of tho
stale and nation will have tholr eyes on
Omaha election day and there wns never
u more united sentiment In favor of the
election of the republican ticket than exists
In Omaha today.

Referring to the strength of patriotic sen
timent In tho republican party, Mr. Webster
milled:
"Vet the democratic pirty asks us to vote
against Colonel Frank H. Moores, who spent
the best years of his young, vigorous life
In field ami battle to maintain that glorious
standard and whoao heart Is so filled with
that patriotic sentiment that the stars and
stripes constantly float aloft In his own
dooryard nnd over his household, as well as
from the windows of tho city hall. And
ho democratic party asks us to elect to
tho mayoralty of our city a man who as a
member of the school board voted to take
down from our public Bchool buildings our
country's flag. We put It lo you, our fel
low r.lllzens, will you do It?
"I am not hero tonight to discuss the per
ronal or private character of tho candidates.
They nro before tho peoplo with credentials
from tho convention. That makes them the
representatives of the party nnd I support
them for what they stand for and will rep
resent In their olllclnl capacity.
"The one ticket stunds for the grand doc
trlno of the republican party thnt hau made

HUGE DARKY IN WOODPILE

Kotntr Scheme.
OMAHA. March 5. To the Editor of Thn
lleo: The speeches at Iloyd'a Saturday night
struck me ns being Incomplete. A great
deal was said about "municipal ownership"
and "eminent domain.'" but that llttlo lino
In tho $3,000,000 water works bond ordlnnnco
which makes It posslblo to turn the wholo
thing Into ono of Poppleton's real estate
schemes was where tho alienee was so
great that It was felt.
Who that knows this mayoralty canuiunto
can doubt for a moment that It Is not the
mayor but the millions thnt he has his eye
on, nnd If elected, nnd ho gets tho money In
his hands, when will he let go?
Is not this particular bond ordinance
evidently Intended for n real estate specula
tion, and If not why Is that land clause
Inserted?
The lice Is right, thcro Is n huge "darky
In that woodpile."
On tho other hand, wc all know that
Moorcn handled hundreds of thousands of
dollars for tho Kansas City road, hundreds
of thousands for tho Wnbash, and durlnc
tho eight years that he was clerk of tho
district court It was millions that passed
through his hands, and never a dollnr was
charged against him until Sand Hill
Clements wns Imported to do tho dirty work
that was, In tho namo of tho supreme court
of Nebraska, destined to brand an honest,
generous, great-hearted, patriotic, public
spirited man with a Btlgma that belonged
to tho ono It was Intended to benefit,
namely, $10,000 Ilrontch.
And how much was the "defalcation?"
Was it not exactly $70.72?
That was a fact from tho court records
which made tho mackintosh on tho um
brella shed tho truth and leave his speech
lncomplotc, and not "the wholo truth"
which ho boasted to tell.
A great ado was made about $7,000 In
witness fees, stolen by .Moores, but tho
law couldn't reach tho mayor, tho law was
lame, had the rheumatism or something.
Tho speech wns Incomplete when It failed to
stato that every bank, every custodian of
funds was stealing in tho samo way.
Witnesses are llko other men, and they
have to claim and prove before they get
"Tho wholo truth" Indeed! Oh, what a
lie. "A defaulter on more than sixty counts
nnd tho case proven."
Then why did you, Mr. Umbrella-Spread
To-Shed-Tho-Truth, leave your speech In
complete by not telling uh that every grand
Jury In Douglas county that has brought in
dlctments since this fact was shown was a
body of crlmlnnlH that refused to do their
sworn duty? That ovcry officer of the law
was also in collusion with a corrupt mayor;
that every attorney, yourself Included, was
afraid to sccuro a warrant for tho arrest of
this embczzlor, nnd that no one want til the
office to which this Moores was declared
"Ineligible?"
Now If you could not say any ono of
theso lb In r without being laughed out of
countenance, why did you not properly com
pleto your speech by stating that this mayor
upset your npplo cart In n certain case
where you Intorfered with a great public
Improvement, and heneo your vials of wrath
wero poured out In this campaign?
Why Is It that Candidate l'oppleton leaves
such notorious mudslingers an Hitchcock nnd
Mcintosh to do his dirty work, nnd If their
statements nro not n pack of lied, built on
tho lllmsy foundation of n foul conspiracy,
why doers ho not endorso their statements,
and add his denunciations to theirs; or has
ho yet some remnants of decency about
him notwithHtnndlng his associates?
Again, tho speeches wero Incomplete In
this, that In a great contest for tho posses
slon of tho political, financial and numer
leni metropolis of Nobraskn wo have not
heard a word from tho public-spirited men
that mudo this city, excepting as they have
been heard In behalf of Mayor Moores, and In
hurling back tho lies lilt) enemies aro man
ufacturing. Why did Mcintosh add nn "s" to tho namo
of Bugeno Mooro and then couple him with
Frank E. Moores, nnd In tho Bamo breath
Insist that ono wus as guilty as the other, It
ho did not seek to convey the Idea that
these two men were of tho samo family?
A name more than completed Is ns badly
Incomplete ttt any other half lie. "Tho
wholo truth." How silly It wns to makn
such a lying boast. Yours, for THE WHOLE

Ferdinand Kehmann, one of tho old-time
and well known painters of
Omaha, is ono laboring man
who dors not entertain a very ox
altcd opinion of W. 8. Poppleton's disposi
tion to give the laboring man his dues.
Years ago Mr. Lehmann was employe! by
tamo of the tenants of the old Exposition
building nt Fourteenth nnn Capitol avenuo
to do some painting and papt-rlng on a por
tion of that building. Hefure they hnd paid
Mr. I.ehmann for the work, which amounted
to $217.63. the truants who had employed
him won) ejected. Mr. Uebmnnn secured
a mci-hanlc's loin on the structure for tho
amount, but Mr. l'oppleton, us a represent
ative of the Popploton estate, which owned
it. r' fused to pay the claim. Even since
thnt day, the building having boon do
st ro-c 1 by fire, Mr I.ehmann has had noth
I tit; to show for his work and the money ux
pended for tho services of the dozen men ,
ho had In his employ except the lien, which
W. S. l'oppleton refused to pay. Thcro wai !
no question that Mr. I.ohmann performed tho
work In tho Improvement of the l'oppleton
building, hut the simple fait that the build
ing burned has enabled Mr. l'oppleton to
escape Just payment for his services and
Ferdinand Iehmnnn has been out his money
nil theso years. Ho thinks, ns do many
laboring men who are conversant with tho
facts, that it man who would take advan
tage of such rlrcumstanccB t) withhold raV
mctit from a wageworkrr for services
honestly tendered is not lnplred with nnv
overweening friendship for tho laboring
man, whatever may be his nntc-clectlon
professions.

which, the fusion lenders explained, was
the result of bad weather. Hut there was
also a maikt 1 lack of enthusiasm, which

.Mr. Poppleton's tactics, na observed In
his romorks Monday nlocht, were somewhat
dlffenint from those which hnvo character
ized his speeches during the earlier pat
of tho campaign. Municipal ownership of
water works was given u well-earned rest.
Ho made no reference to the fact that ho

With singular disregard for the Intelli

of Minnesota today offered on amendment
to tho Porto Hlcati bill in tho senate. Its
effect In to havo the tariff laws of thn
United States applied to Porto Rico upon
foreign Imports, but allows absolute freo
trade betwocn the United States and Porto
Hlca. Ho also proposes 11 new section as
follows:
"For tho purptraes of this net the following
provisions of the constitution of the United
States arc hereby extendrd and made ap
plicable to Porto Hlco.
"Tho congress shall have owcr to Iny
and collect taxes, duties, imposts nnd ex

common defense and general welfare of tha

"No capltatlcn or other direct tax shall bo

"No tax or duty shall bo given by any
regulation of commerce or revenue to the
ports of ono stato over those of another;
nor shall vessels bound to or from ono state
bo obliged to enter, clear or pay duties In

The nmendment Is hp follows:
"And it Is hereby enacted that nil dtittts,
Imposts and excises Imposed or levied, laid
or collected by congrcFti upon Porto Hlco or
any products or business thereof, or In re
lation to said Porto Hlco, shall bo uniform

That no capitation or other direct tax
shall be laid by congress In or upon Porto
Hlco. unless In proportion to the census or

constitution.
"That no tnx or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from Porto Hlco.
That no preference shall bo given by
any regulation of commerce or revenue to

WASHINGTON,, March C Carter of Mon
tana dealt vigorously with the Quay cuss
in tho senate today In the course of an
explanation as to why he will vote for tho
former senator from Pennsylvania, notwith
standing he voted against tho seuting ol
Corbctt In tho last congress.
The near approach to tho time of voting
on tno conference report on the financial
bill brought out two speeches on that meas
ure, ono by Fairbanks of Indiana and the
other by Hutler of North Carolina.
The pension appropriation bill, which ap
propriates JHo, 245,230, was passed and Car
tor bcRan his address. He argued that the
constitution contemplated that the seats In
tho senate always should be kept full.
Referring to tho precedents of the Mantle.
Allen and Hockwlth cases, ho declared that
tho silver question really had decided those
cases, but added that notwithstanding thu
then administration opposed seating Mantle
tecauso of Bllvcr, that gentleman would have
been seated If the pairs had been properlv
arranged on that voto and Allen and Ileck-
with also would have been seated, ns their
cases wero dependent upon the decision In
tho Mantlo caso.
"Thus," ho said, "In 189' a technicality
mado tho recorded verdict of tho sennto
tho revcrfto of Its real Judgment."
As to the Corbett case Carter said:
"My voto was recorded against Corbett
and It would bo registered In tho samo way
again on tho same stato of facts. Tho Ore
gon legislature was prevented from organiz
ing until after the time limit of carrying
Into effect tho will of the peoplo had ex
plred and It was believed by many that
Corbett was tho Inspiring genius of that
revolutionary condition. A largo number
of senators voted against Corbett because
his appointment was regarded as tho cul
mination of n conspiracy against tho gov
crnment of his stato."
Senators wero resolved that Corbctt should
not be tho boncflclary of that wrong. Quay's
caso wns tho extreme opposite of this. For
two years, said Carter, there had been In
operation a scheme In the stato of Penn
sylvania to prevent representation In tho
sennto If that representative wore to be
Quay. "Quay," he went on. "was mado the
victim of a court In Pennsylvania. An In
dictment wns returned against him nnd thus
tho machinery of tho courts was set In opera
tion against him to hold the members of
the legislature from performing their duty
In the election of n senator.
"When tho legislature adjourned," said
he. "this man faced n Jury and, I believe,
never challenged a single Juror offered.
After tho trial had proceeded to Its en-J
the case was submitted to the Jury and In
an Incredibly short time they brought In a
verdict of not guilty.
"I don't believe," said Mr Carter, "that
this country has ever witnessed such nn
other deep, dark, damnable, diabolical plot
to destroy a man's political or private
character."
In conclusion he said that In every caso
of this kind that camo before the sonato
ho would rescrvo tho right to go behind
the certificate, of tho governor to Inquire
how tho appointment was obtained.

CINCINNATI, March 6, The complimen
tary dinner given tonight nt the Queen City
club to Judge Wllllnm 11. Tnft, the re
cently appointed president of the Philip
pine commission, by his friends and neigh
bora, wns unlnuu lu Its elecance and In Its
good will. The hundred substantial citi
zens who took this met lud of bidding fare
well to their friend Included tho representa
tive men of Cincinnati.
M. E. Ingnlls, prmldent of the Dig Four
Railroad compnuy, presided ns toastmaster.
After reading 11 letter of regret from Sec
retary of War Root, who wus unable to at
tend, and after speaking In it happy vein
of Judge Tnft an 1 his gmtt mission, ho
Introduced Judge William R. Hay, lato sec
retary of state", who spoke of tho negotia
tion of the treaty of peace with Spain.
Judgo Day was followed with the closest
Interest. The I1c.1rtlc.1t applause was given
to his assertion that the aim of the United
Stntes Is not to exploit trade In the Philip
pines, but to servo the Interests of thrso
Islands. Governor George K. Nash followed
Judge Day.
Judgo Judson Harmon, attorney general
under Cleveland, was next Introduced, lie
created 11 sensation In hl.t opening sen
tence, though It was undertsood the company
hnd not been chesen with the view of po
litical hurmony.
"If you hnd met to approve the general
course of tho government with respect to
the Philippines," ho snld, "I should not be
here. For 100 years -we contented ourselves
with worcn of sympathy for peoples strug
gling, us we onco struggled, fur freedom
nnd independence. Here for the first time
an opportunity came to help In such a strug
glo without breaking our settled policy.
Wo Joined rauks with tho native patriots
against the common enemy. Whether nny
0110 made or wus authorized to tniiku prom
ises to them Is of 110 consequence. Our his
tory nnd principles are n perpetual prom
ise, nnd no one will deny that when the
Filipinos Joined forces with us, they be
lieved, nnd we knew they believed, that
success would mean tho fulfillment of their
hopes."
Judge Hnrmon continued to this effect for
some time, after asserting Hint while the
president's right to make regulations In the
nature of law Is doubtful, his right and dut.v
to provide agencies for enforcing the laws
are clear. Ho discussed most forcibly nnd
nt length the great work before tho new
Filipino commission and eulogized Judgo
Taft.
Tuft Xnt an Hviiniittlotilxt,
Judge Taft spoke for about 1111 hour Com
ing to tho topic of tho Philippines, ho said
"The commission is not organized. Iti
members havo never conferred togother. I
speak, therefore, for myself, alone. Like
Judge Harmon, and unlike Chairman Ingalls.
I anj not now nnd never havo been an ex
pansionist. I hnvo always hoped that the
Jurisdiction of our nation would not extend
'beyond territory between tho two oceans.
Wo have not solved all tho problems of pop
ular government so perfectly as to Justify
our voluntarily seeking moro difficult ones
nbroad. With deference to Judge Harmon,
I do not think In this Instance thut we have
voluntarily sought them, tircumstnnccs be
yond our control, tho sequel of the Spanish
war, havo thrust on us responsibility for
the future government of the Philippines.
"The proposition Is vigorously denied by
hlgh-mludcd nnd conscientious men und by
some with n fury of superlative ami epithet
that Is hardly consistent with a Judicial ut
tltudo or an Impartial consideration of tho
question. My conviction Is that the calm
Investigation of tho future historian Into
all tho conditions existing at the tlmo of
taking esch step toward the present situa
tion In tho Philippines will lead him to
concludo thnt President McKlnley nnd his
administration selected In such a crisis the
only alternative which duo regard to our
national nnd International obligations would
permit. I havo to deal with the situation as
It Is and whatever tho cause of It, tho ques
tion now Is, What aro wo to do to meet the
present needs?
"Tho high nnd patriotic purpose of tho
president in tho present Juncture Is to give
tho people of tho Philippine Islands the
best civil government which ho can pro
vide with tho largost measuro of self-gov
eminent consistent with stability. Ho seeks
only tho welfaro of tho Filipino and the
betterment of his condition, Tho Incidental
benefits to the trado of this country, nrlslng
from thu new relation must bo mado sub
servient to the Intercuts of those who havo
become our wards. This Is his charge to his
now commission. With bis purposo thus
defined, I havo tho deepest sympathy.
When, therefore, tho president did mo the
honor to ask mo to nb-alst him ns one of
the commission In carrying It out, I could
not urgu ns a reason for declining that I did
not agree with his policy and Its object."
