of Amrrli'n'n Dentin).
Tho commodious quarters of the Klftb
Ward Kcpubllcau club nt Sherman avenue
nod Locust street wcro filled last evening
to listen to nn address on current political
Issues by Kdward Hosowater, who spoke for
over an hour, commanding the closest atten
tion and eliciting manifestations of cnthUBl
untie approval.
Tho speaker based his remarks chiefly
upon tho peroration with which William
Jennings Ilryan closed his recent speech at
Indianapolis, In which he drew a fanciful
picture of a republic "in which every cltl
yen Is a sovereign, but In which no one
cares to wear n crown." Ho directed atten
tion to tho cry of Cacsarlsm that was raised
against General 'Grant and told how Abra
ham Lincoln was caricatured as the veriest
despot, lie showed how absurd it In to sup
pose that anyone could aspire with nny show
of success to Mssumo monarchical honors or
power In this country under tho prevalence
of tho unwritten ruin against n. third term
In tho presidency and with the thousands of
newspapers of the present day throwing
light Into every corner of this country.
Suraly William McKlnley, who has como
up from tho pcoplo with every fiber of his
being responding to the pulsations of the
spirit of republicanism, would bo the last
among men to assume such functions,
"flovernincnt Uy CniiHPiil."
Mr. rtosewater also reverted to the re
cent speech by John I. Altgeld, attempting
to set nut tho difference between a govern
ment by forco and one by the consent of
tho governed. Ho declared there never was
n government except a government by
lore. The object and purpose of a govern
ment are to enforce the laws, which presup
poses force. The chief of u tribe Is chosen
because of his Intellectual forco and his
ability to onfnrcn hltt commands. When
llonaparto sold Louisiana to Thomas Jeffer
son no one thought of asking the consent of
tho inhabitants of that section, reaching
clear to tho Pacific coast and peopled by
whlto men, red men nnd blBck men. When
Alaska was acquired from Russia no one
thought of asking tho consent of the Alas
kans, who havo been governed ever since,
and Mr. Iiryan should long ago havo uttered
his protest against It. Utah was governed
by a commission, just ns It Is now proposed
to govern the Philippine Islands. The pco
plo of this country arc governed by force,
ly policemen, by sheriffs, by constables, by
militia and armies, and il is nonsenso to
talk In derogation of government by force.
Referring to the pretense of nntl-impcrlal-ism,
Mr. Rosewater directed attention to
the motto printed on the flags nt the Kansas
City convention, "Tho flag and tho constitu
tion, one and inseparable, now nnd forever,"
declaring that It wus n parapbraso of the
utteranco of Webster not John L. "Liberty
nnd unlou, ono nnd Inseparable, now nnd
forever." This sounds well, but It Is uot
true. Liberty belonged to man slnco tho
days of Adam. It was his Inhurent right,
but tho union did not come along until the
time of tho revolution. So It was with the
flag nnd tho constitution, tho former ante
dating tho latter by ten years. The flag Is
an emblem of war and Is now marching on
to Pckln, whither tho constitution does not
follow It, and never will.
I'rn.teelornte for fllliilno.
Referring to Bryan's announced plnn of
granting Independence to tho Filipinos and
declaring n protectorate, over their Islands,
tho speaker pointed out tho fact that the
establishment of u protectorate over them
meant that this country would hold ItBclt
responsible to other nations to suppress all
internal dissensions, and showed that to do
this would bo to rcqulro as largo an army
there as If, now employed there. Ho could
not conjecture how Oryan was to maintain
n protectorate over tho Philippines nfter
having disbanded his standing army and
dismantled tho navy.
Referring to tho doctrine that nil men are
created equal, about which thoso who have
recently constituted themselves tho cxclu
nlve defenders of the constitution aro now
talking, ho asserted that no declaration
rould make all men equal. If fifty men were
put at work at the same trade, at the end
of a stated season thirty-five out of the
number would bo found to have mado no
financial advancement, while tho other fif
teen would have saved sums In varying
amounts, according to the habits of tho
men. It Is equal opportunities that should
he guaranteed to nil, so that each man
should have tho same opportunity ns ovcry
other, and thU was what the republican
party seeks, and nlwnys has sought, lo ns
sure. Tho keynote of tho cumpalgn of 18D6
vould do very well for that of 1900 "An
honest dollar and tho chance to earn It."
Klftlit Yrnrn of llonuicrne y.
In closing Mr. Rot.pwater pointed out that
during the last forty years this nation has
progressed ns has no other nation in the
history of tho world, anil that under repub
lican rule. During the eight years of demo
cratic control tho Industries of tho country
were paralyied, men unablo to find work
with which to sustain themselves nnd fam
ilies, tho public treasury depleted and gov
ernment securltlen depreciated in value.
At the conclusion of Mr. Rosewatcr's
speech a vote of thanks was tendered him
by tho club nnd Reports were heard from
the presidents of other clubs present. Sam
Scott of tho First ward club, Fred limning
of the Second ward, William (Jerko of th
third and I. U. Uarlght of tho Sixth wcro
introduced, each speaking confidently of the
conditions In his ward.

South Omaha News .
Representative business men of the city
are protesting against tho methods pur
sued by several of tho dry goods and cloth
ing houses located here. According to their
contention tho city Is beginning to have a
bad reputation among farmers and out-of-town
visitors.
In tho course of a mouth thcrfc arc many
visitors at tho stockyards and over tho city
In general. Tho business men say that at
tho stockyards nnd packing houses and
wherever tho crowd Is likely to congregate
tho visitors nrp met by solicitors, who con
fidentially Inform them of n great sale of n
fire or bankrupt stock at some portion of the
city and that as soon ns the stranger Is
Inveigled Into theso places he is shown
some stuff that is priced nt n ridiculously
low figure. They also say that after It has
been purchased nnd paid for. nn Inferlo,
glade of goods Is Immediately substituted
for it nnd tho purchaser does not discover
tho mlstnkc until ho has reached his home.
Tho clothing men of the city some yenra
ago raised a protest agnlnst this sams
work nnd at their instance n special ordi
nance wns Introduced providing for a pen
nlty against soltcttlng outside tho place of
tho business of the employer. This rule
has been enforced until rce-ntly, when
complaints have been numerous that the
old work is again going on. During tho
last week two arrest havo been made.
Ono of the reprosontatlvo business men
said yesterday: "We do not caro at all
for the patronago theso peoplo take away
nnd It has never been on that ground that
we havo rondo a complaint. However, It
really hurts tho town and works it hardship
upon us. The pcoplo who aro thim led to
buy toll their grievances nnd we find that
n general run.or is being circulated through
out tho farm districts of the state that alt
of tho South Omaha houses nre given to
llko work."
The police say that from now on the
will enter n vigorous prosecution against
nil these people and that tho city ordi
nances will bo followed to tho letter. It
wns said yesterday that n special de
tachment would be Immediately sent out In
citizens' clothes and that all offenders would

"Colorado never wns In as prosperous con

dally. There Is a great demand for labor
ers nnd all sorts of mechanics. All the

Moro gold Is being produced than ever before
nnd tho people are forgetting all about free

has Just returned from Colorndo, where he
was detailed for several weeks of special

Although Colorado gave Ilryan a majority

McKlnley and Roosevelt are prime favorites

The same old story Is repeated at the

from tho warm weather Ih In sight. Uvcry

temper of Forecaster Welsh has been ruf
fled by the falluro of rain to vlelt Omaha
nnd ho hay that he Is going to predict
no rain again until ho feels the drops. For
fcveral days thl week every Indication
pointed to thunderstorms and they were
predicted. As far as tho predictions were
concerned they came true In tho Immedi
ate vicinity of Omaha, east and west, north
nnd south traces and perceptible parts of

penetrable nrea of blue sky and sunahlno.
Yesterday the area of extreme low
barometric pretsuro which has hung for

west. The forecaster Is authority for tho
statement that, no d cut tin from heat pros
trations are to bo expected from present
conditions, as dry hent KOldom kills. The
condition would be changed if rain was lo
fall with no appreciable lower temperature,
us humidity and not temperature is the

OUOROKTOWN. Ky.. Aug. 10. The de
fense In tho case of Cnlcb Powers, ox
secretnry of state, charged with being an
uccessory In the Oocbcl assasslnntlou,
rested tho testimony for that tide at 'i
o'clock this afternoon.
Tho prosecution Introduced several wit
nesses In rebuttal nnd expects to introduce
two more tomorrow, but this Is not cer
tain. The Jury will bo tnkeu to Frankfort
cither Monday or Tuesday to view the
scene of the tragedy.
The Jury, when It comes to considering
tho evidence, will not havo to decide tho
question of which side has dealt in per
jury, but which side has been burdened
with tho largest nmount of that product.
It being conceded that perjury has rultd
rnmpant for the last few days, during
which contradiction and Impeachment
were tho lending features.
Kx-Oovcrnor Ilrown, lending counsel for
the defense, said tonight that In his
opinion the state had utterly failed to make
n case against Powers and that tho Jury
would bo compelled to bring In 11 verdict
of acquittal. There wero sonic who bo
llcvo the trial will result In a conviction,
but n majority of pcoplo expect n hung
Jury. Tho lawyers for the defense Insist
that they ntc entitled to 11 verdict of ac
quittal, but do not nutlclpntc the Jury's
verdict by giving out such a statement.
inji Potter Wild Sick,
Mrs. John Davis, tho wife of one of the
defendants chnrged with being an accessory
to tho Cocbcl assasslnntlou, wns the first
witness introduced by the defense
toJny. Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin
objected to the eligibility of tho
witness, but the court ruled that she was
a competent witness. Powers boarded nt
her house. John Powers was also there
January 25. She testified that the hitter was
111 In his room at her house that day and did
not leave hlB room after 11 o'clock that day.
This was In contradiction of the testimony
of Robert Noakes, who told of an alleged
conversation with John Powers nt tho stnto
house, in which he said the latter told him
"to stay close to the building ns somcthlug
was going to happen ns soon as Oocbcl nnd
those fellows came down."
Solomon Wilder of Whitley county testi
fied that Robert Noakes was nt Corbln In
March and asked him not to tell nnybody
in town as ho might be arrested In con
nection with the assassination conspiracy.
On cross-examination it developed that
Wilder went to Frankfort in December
with Noakes and tho other armed moun
tain men at the time of tho meeting of tho
state election commissioners. Noakes gave
him and the other men their transporta
tion. Ho did not go to Frankfort with
the two tralnloads of mountaineers, la
which Noakes nnd his company went Jan
uary 23, hut heard them when they re
turned. Witness said they wcro drunk
and firing their guns promiscuously.
Oolden picked out of the muster roll of
Noakes' company tho names of a number
of the members ot the company. Witness
told of various crimes for which they had
boon tried, murder, being tho chargo In
several Instances.
On direct examination Wilder testified
that John L. Jones of tho Nonkes company
wns a man of good character. On cross
examination ho said Jones had twlco been
convicted of murder and sentenced in
each case to life Imprisonment, but was
pardoned.
Tho defense then asked to bo allowed to
offer as cvldenco tho act of tho legislature
appropriating $100,000 for tho purpose ot
aiding In the search for and prosecution
of tho ussacsln or assassins of William
Ooebcl. Tho prosecution offered no ob
jection and tho act was mado a part of the
testimony.
Youtupy'd Kqnlvopnl Offpr.
Walter Day, former republican state
treasurer, testified that Youlsey sent for
him tho day before tho shooting. He went
to see Youtscy nnd the latter told him that
for $300 ho would settle tho contest. Wit
ness pressed Youtscy to know how ho
would accomplish It, but the latter would
only say that for that amount he would
settlo it.
Witness said to Youtsey: "I am not that
klnthof a man" and refused to further talk
with Youtsey about It.
After the reading of the letters, Day
nlso told of seeing Youtsey in tho gov
ernor's reception room, stooping at n win
dow and with n gun in his hnnds. This
occurred tho day of tho Van Motor-Uorry
contest and had previously been testified
to by tho dofondant nnd by McKcnzle Todd
and tho others. Tho dofenso rested.
Tho dofenso offered to fllo nn affidavit of
the defendant as to what Judge W. H.
Yost would testify to If ho wcro present.
Tho court ruled that tho cumpulsory pro
cesses of tho court not having boon called
into use to enforco the atendanco of Judge
Yost ns a witness, tho ntlldavlt could not
bo read.
.siiiiniipr'M Voracity Cliipntlnnpil.
Rev. John Stamper, who testified for the
defrnso several days ago, was the first
witness called by tho prosecution In re
buttal. Ho was recalled for tho purpose ot
laying the foundation for .a contradiction.
Ho denied that ho told several people
several days after his confession of hla
brother-in-law, Wharton Oolden, that ho
believed tho latter had told tho truth, that
ho did not want him to fall in the hands
of tho other sid6 they might do him
harm. He admitted that on tho occasion
referred to ho accompanied (lolden and the
other parties to Frankfort and that ho

Ni:V YORK, Aur. 10. The hcnrlng In the
petition to necure the removal of John
Unynor, W. T. Gayuor, K. II. (Jayuor and
llenjamln D. Orceue, accused of conspiracy
to defraud tho government, to tho Juris
diction of the Georgia courts was continued
before I'nltcd States Commissioner Shields
today. .Mr. KellogK, of counsel for the de
fendants, announced that he had produced
as called upon a book of the minutes of
the meetings of the Atlantic Construction
company for 1S!1 and 1S92. J. W. O. Sterly.
chief clerk of tho engineer's office at Sa
vannah, the first witness questioned by
I'nlted States District Attorney Krwln ot
Georgia, said ho had seen Captnln Carter
August 15, 1S9S, at tho University club in
this city und there conferred with him ns
to specifications for certnln work to be
done nt Sntannnh. Ho was cross-examined
and excused.
Tho prosecution then sprang a decided
surprise on counsel for tho dofendnnts by
calling to tho witness stand Robert T.
estcott, former Captnln Oberlin M. Car
ter's fnthor-ln-lnw. During Carters
eourt-tnnrtlal nnd prior thereto he claimed
that many of the bonds und securities In
Ills possession ami which ho hypothecated
for vnrlous sums of money hnd been placed
In his hands by Mr. Westcott nnd also
claimed a power of attorney from his
father-in-law. During tho proceedings oi
the bpard of inquiry Mr. Westcott went to
Uurope.
.Mr. Kellogg, of counsel, said when West
cott wns called: "Wo were not prepared
for this und llnd ourselves much embar
rassed. We were prepared to cross-ex
amine Captnln Olllctt, but not Mr. West
cott." Mr. Westcott, after being questioned on
preliminary points, said Captain llenjamln
D. Urueno met htm nt the Hoffman house
and handed him a puckago of bonds, asking
that ho tnke enre of them. "Cnrter told
me about the board of inquiry and that he
expected to bo arrested." said Mr. West
cott. "and asked me If I would receive
these bonds from Greene. I demurred, ho
Insisted and I finally assented. Then
Grecno mot mo nt the Hoffman house Octo
ber 11. 1808, and rbvo mo the bonds. I de
posited them In tho New York Safo Do
posit company."
The witness said Carter asked him to go
before the board of Inquiry and testify that
tho largo amounts of money Carter was
spending were received from him. "Hut I
told him," said Mr. Westcott, "that 1
could not do that thnt I could not swear
to a lie."
Mr. Kellogg's objection to answers made
by Westcott precipitated personalities be
tween counsel, In which Westcott asked for
protection. Commissioner Shields assured
Westcott ho would be protected as a wit
ness nnd the examination was resumed.
It was then brought out that previous to the
sessions nf tho board of inquiry both Cap
tain Carter and llenjamln D. Greene had
gono to Westcott and usked blm to take, the
bonds nnd securities. This was done, ac
cording to counsel for the prosecution, bo
causo It was known that Carter had money
on deposit that he rould not well havo made
from his salary. Consequently Westcott was
asked to becomo a member of tho Atlantic
Contracting company to account for his
having the bonds and pccurltlcs. This he
refused, but placed the bonds in a sate de
posit vault (Carter's.) Then powers of
attorney were shown from Westcott which
gave Cnrter entire control of all Westcott's
business affairs. Tho bonds and securities
that were handed Westcott. to the amount
of $130,000, never appeared in the board of
inquiry proceedings. Westcott identified
the powers of attorney given by him to
Carter and told In detail of receiving the
?iSO,000 worth of bonds nnd securities from
Cnrter and Greene.
He also Identified a number of checks
drawn by him in favor of llenjamln D.
Greene, aggregating in sums to the amount
of $49,000. Theso sums he paid nt tho re
quest of Captain Carter, who paid them
back In various sumn at different times.
Witness met Captain Carter In Now York
In September, 1891, by request, nnd barter
gavo him $100,000 to take care of until
Carter returned from Georgia. It was nlso
brought out thnt different men In Savannah
have louns of largo amounts, tho money fot
which purported to come from Mr, Westcott.
.Mr. Westcott know nothing nbout these.
Checks for tho amounts of throo of theso
loans wero put in ovldcnco today, ns fol
lows: Illcrno Gordon, $10,000; to John
Lyons, $15,000, and to Mathew Cunning
ham, $10,000.
Tho contention of the prosecution In this
matter Is that tho money advanced on these
loans was not Westcott's, but belonged to
Captain Carter.
Testimony was also given relatlvo lo n
partnership existing between Westcott and
iiijuHiu igniter luur jt'uin hku 111 wuiuti
