That the state inspection pf coal oil is a rank piece of populistic pat ernalism of purest type, and an ex pensive bit of follj is shown by the report of the outgoing1 inspector L F. Hilton. It shows that during the vear 1894 there were inspected 101.064 barrels of oil at a cost of $11,274.31. This covered the entire amount. of oil examined, as during the whole year not one barrel was discovered which could be rejected. For the month of January. 1895. there has been inspected and ap proved 7.431 barrels of oil at au ex pense of $750.64, of which not one barrel has been rejected. From April 1. 1893 to Dec. 1. 1893. inclu sive there were 77,678 barrels in spected, at an expense pf 459,110.-21, and not one rejected. Taking this little period of twenty-one months, according to the inspector's own, figures, and we discover that the consumer has had to pay the snug sum of $21,135.16. Is this not pret ty dear for our whistle? What have we gained by this inspection? Positively not one thing not a particle of oil has been rejected, ac cording to the showing. It is no toriously well known that the so called test in this state is not a rigid one, and had the Standard Oil monopoly been desirous it could have run into Nebraska a much lower grade of oil which would still have come within the provisions of the law. Our state is no freer from explosions than those which prescribe no tests but let the oil come in upon business principles; i. e. a low grade or in fkimable oil will not be purchased by the public on account of its dan gerous character, any more than axle grease butter or oleomargarine will drive out the best creamery or dairv product. Nor is that all, for by the figures of the same document we discover that during the same period the outgoing inspector has collected the sum of $10,149.20 for the in-; spection of gasoline, of which the official naively (not knavely) says: "I can find no authority under ' the law for the collection of fees for -inspecting gasoline, and am ! advised that I am individually lia- j ble to the parties from whom such ! fees are collected if they shbuld j make a demand upon me that the j fees so collected should be re funded."' The question naturally arises has Mr. Hilton been blackmailing the Standard Oil Company out of these fees for the alleged inspection of gasoline, although he candidly i confesses that he believes under the law he had no right to do so? Xext has this levying of tribute been the means of closing the of ficial ej'e while inferior coal oil was permitted to enter the state? Of the amount of so-called fees for the inspection of gasoline Mr. Hilton proposes to try and retain $5,621.96, as he claims there was a deficiency in the aggregate fees Nebraska will sooiTreceive $20, 0QQ from the , general : government as nerisnare ot tne siaie agricm tttral college f uad. Ex-Mayor Hewitt speaks of the present situation at Washington ; -a spectacle of ignorance, idiocy and positive lunacy;" and being democratrhe has a right to speak his mind in that f ree and emphatic manner. Henry Clews has no fears that even a democratic administration can wreck the credit of this nation in the short time that must elapse before the republicans secure control of every branch of the government. He bases this belief on the follow ing table of national debts: United States, $1,064,241,000; Austria-Hun gary, $2, 866, 339.539; France. $4,446.- 793.398; Great Britain, $3,330,119,- 563; Germauy, Prussia, etc.,$2,381, 422.112; Italy. $2324.826. 329;Russia, $3,491,018,494. This country has the smallest debt and the largest resources of any of the great power. The per capita debt of Canada is $60, against $15 here. The liabili- tibes growing out of the recent panic, the worst the country has ever known, amount to less than 1 per cent off the true assets of the people. "No one can appreciate these facts," he says, "without hav ing faith in our country's hope to be better times in the near future. and charity for the limited intellect of man of those who obstruct the necessary national legislati o n. which is the cause of the present troubles. State Journal. during his term of $4,527.24. Now if the inspector's position as quoted above trom the language of his re port true, the amount can never be recovered by the state from himself or bondsmen, as the law will not give the great state of Nebraska any greater latitude in the collec tion of illegal fees than it will the individual. The amount of con fessed' illegal fees which Mr. Hil ton hopes to retain constitutes near ly one-half of the entire amount col lected during his entire official life. The lesson to be drawn from the above presentment is that it would be better for the state of Nebraska to abolish its espionage of illumina ting oils at least as at present conducted and allow the business to be managed like any other, upon sound business principles, viz: that the best oil will sell readiest at profitable prices, and inferior oil will only be bought at purchaser's risk only upon grounds of its cheapness. The Ft. Wayne, Ind.. Journal has twenty-two libel suits of $25. 000 each on its hands, the maj'or, chief of police, and a score of police men having commenced that num ber of actions. This would, indicate that the Journal is one "of the wealthiest papers in the country. "Out of their own mouths shall ye convict them." If our old friend Stebbins, who was formerly on the inside, is to be believed, the editor of the Era has given certain people a bone, when something else-was desired. See? It is pleasant to learn from Ore gon that "ex-Governor Pennoyer has returned to his sawmill." Ore gon has beautiful sawing timber, and Pennoyer should never again get out of Rearing of his. buzz-saw. legislative laconics. Representative Harris has intro duced a couple of bills which the committees have recommended be adopted. One of them relates to the salaries of county superin tendents; the other appropriates $20,000 for the agricultural experi ment stations heretofore estab lished at Ogallala and Culbertson. He will be in luck if he gets through both houses. Senator Akers was invited to Hastings last Saturday to address a meeting of Adams county farmers upon his irrigation bill, modelled after the Wright law of California. It is said the bill is meeting with general approval, with the excep tion of the" "free silver" fellows who object to the fact that in the origi nal draft of the measure a provision tor gold-bearing interests which is usual in California had inad vertently slipped in. For the im- formation of these opponents it is only necessary to state that this objectionable feature was stricken out at the first meeting of the irri gation committee. The pop senators succeeded in putting themselves on record by solidly voting for populist Senator Stewart's bill providing for the forfeiture of school land leases after the interest thereon had become three months' delinquent. Fortun ately there was enough of a republi can majority to give the measure its quietus. What do the drouth striken populists of Lincoln county think of such a bill. A pretty good general idea of the amount of work done this session can be obtained from the following statement: The house has passed twenty-five bills and killed four on passage. It has indefinitely post poned sixty-nine. It has 100 house rolls and one senate file on general file read for consideration in com mittee on 'the whole. It has 249 house rolls and seven senate files in the hands of its standing commit tees. There are four senate files on first reading, three house rolls and six senate files on second read ing, three house rolls on third read ing and one bill on the table a posi tion which would doubtless be a surprise to any bill. The senate has passed thirteen bills, indefi nitely postponed sixteen, has two on third reading, has forty-two in in the hands of the printer and 127 in the hands of the standing com mittees. In the house 486 bills have been introduced, and in the senate 291. The seed bond bill has passed both houses. Under its provisions counties may vote bonds to the amount of five per cent of the as sessed valuation for the purpose of seed grain, and authority is given to invest the permanent school funds in such bonds. It is thought there will be no trouble in finding a market for county bonds voted under the provisions of the act. Some controversy arose in the house over what the committee on public lands and buildings consid ered was their exclusive privilege that pf junketing among the state institutions by the finance committee.. The matter was set tled by the chairman of. each com mittee selecting three members from his confreres to make the tour at state expense. The legislature, has -adjourned until three o'clock p. m. of. Thurs day of this week, in order to give the above and other committees time to make .tbejr; trip?, . mi ADRY TELLS BIS STORY Harry Hayward's Brother Testifies In the Murder Trial. USE THE INSANITY DDD3E. Oljections of Defendant's Counsel to H Testimony Overruled by the Court Ex amination or Ex-Mayor East's End Mi Third Hrother Will Testify. Minneapolis, Feb. 11. Adry Hay ward, the brother of the mau accused of murdering Catherine Ging, was in court this "morning before the trial be gun. His wife sat beside him with traces of receut tears upon her cheeks. but Adry maintained a mask of smiles and joviality. When Harry was brought in by the deputies the two brothers met, but there was no sign of recognition other than a smile of commiseration on the face,of Harry. Dr. Thaddeus T. Hayward, the third brother, was pres ent and was visibly more cordial to Harry than to Adry. It is under stood he will go on the stand and Bwear that his brother Adry is mentally incapable and, in fact, insane. The di rect examination of ex-Mayor Eustis was resumed at the opening of the court. The ex-mayor repeated the now familiar story. Adrian Hawyard was then called to the stand. He stated that he was 33 and Harry was 29 year3 of age. He nan. come to Jiinueapous Sio years ago from Macoupin county, Illino s, where ho was born. He was employed in his father's office, and transacted most of the loan and rental business. Harry was not employed there, but ofton came there. Harry had told him that last summer and fall he was engaged in loaning money on diamonds. Harry had also told him that he gambled some. He had told him of having loaned money for Miss Ging and of having gambled with her money. At this point Mr. Erwin arose and said: "I wish to enter an objection here. This witness has an illusion on this subject and is in fact insane." "I don't see," said the court, "that he's any more insane than some of the attorneys in this case." 'I take an exception to the court's ruling," retorted Envin. With that remark he sr.t down and the examination proceeded. "He told me," continued Adry, "that she held some notes secured by a mort gage on a floSr mill at Hamel and asked me to go out with him to Hamel audseo about it. We drove out, and though I advised him against the loan he made it. Three weeks later he came in and said he had been very lucky as the mill had burned and he would probably get the money to handle. About the middle of September he asked me if I wanted to make good money. I said yes and he said I could get about $2,000 if I was not particular. He asked me if I was willing to kill a woman for $2,000. I said I was not willing to kill anybody. He said it was easy to do it aud nobody would be suspicious of me, as they only looked up a set of criminals who had been con victed of crimes before. After that ho said he knew a hackmau that would do anything for him. He said it would bo easy to kill her in a hack and, if neces sary, the hackmau conld be killed too. I asked him if the hackmau had a fam ily and he said he did I then said it would be an awful thing to kill a wo man, let alone a hackman. After that he suggested getting her drowned in a lake, but that looked too much like sni cide and he gave it up. Then he wondered how she would fall if he took her riding in a buggy and they should strike a boulder, whether she would fall in or out. On the morning of Nov. 6 Harrv had come to his flat. "He took out a pack age of money," continued Adry, "and asked if my vault was open. I said no, as it was election day. Then he said he was through with me aud that I had not any nerve. He had found a man, however, who had nerve, an ex-policeman named C. A. Blixt." Turning to the question of life insur ance, witness said: "He said the dress maker had bean up in the New York Life and had passed the examination all right, but there was some mistake about the papers aud they had to be sent- back. Sue make a mistake in getting a o,000 instead of a $7,000 policy. "He said," the witness continued, "that he had killed two persons in the east and he had killed a third, but he stopped there and would say nothing more. He also said he had caused a fire where the loss was $450,000. He eaidheg.t $2 for doing it. Ho said there was nothing in haunting people. I had told him that if he killed her she would haunt him. He said: 'People dream of such things, but it you had any nerve you would go out and kill somebody. It don't make any difference who, so you kill some one. Kill a cripple, its better for them to die than to live anyway. Go out and kill sooieoue and I will give yon $100.' I askad him how he would know that I had dons it and he said he could see it the papars. I said I would not do it. The last conversation I had with him I don't want to say any thing about, but I went and told Elder Stewart." "Hold on there," said Erwin; "we ob ject as immaterial." The objection was sustained, but Adry was allowed to state that he made a communication to Mr. Stewart. "Shortly after 7:30 on the night of the murder Harry came to my flat and asked me for $5. I gave it to him aud then he said: 'You'd better go to the theater tonight. Take your wife and go, some thing is going to happen.' He seemed a little excited it was one of the few times I ever saw him excited. I took him by the arm and tried to detain him He shoved himself loose and said: 'I'v no time to fool now. I'm in a hurr- Then he went away. I asked my wife if she did not want to go up and make a visit to her father. At first she said she was too tired, but we finally went. When we got home, or shortly afterwards, I heard a qnick step in the hallway and then saw a light in Harry's room. I heard -nothing more until 3 in the morn ing, when narry came to the door and said, "Something has happened. Miss Ging has been .murdged. She was f onnd stone dead in the road near Lake .Calhoun." He asked me to come into his flat and I did so. He got out his Colt's revolver aud cleaned it. There was very little dirt on it. As he was doing this he said: ylt'a just like pick ing up money." TO SUE ZX-GII. INSPECTOR HILTON. Refuses to Give Up 85,000 In Fees Collected ' - '.on Gasoline. . Lincoln, Feb.ll. It is said that suits will be commenced today by Attorney General Churchill on the bonds of ex Oil Inspector Hilton. Hilton refused to turn over $5,000 in fees to the state, claiming that they were paid in fees for inspecting .gasoline, and since there is no law warranting inspection of the fluid he was personally liable for the re turn of the same. There was a confer ence held between Governor Holcomb, State Auditor Moore and the attorney general, in which the case of Hilton was freely canvassed. They arrived at the decision that in the absence of any prima facie evidence of intent to de fraud the state Hilton oonld not bo pro ceeded against save in a civil suit on his bond. The claim set up by Hilton that gasoline is not an illuminating oil is laughed at by- every official connected with the stato house. The fact is pointed out that a .number of towns in the state use it for illuminating pur poses in their street lamps. It is hinted that Hilton has so disposed of his funds that ho is execution proof, aud there is considerablaspeculation as to what has become of the money. Irwin on Trial. Pittsburg, Feb. 1 1. George M. Irwin, the discretionary pool Joperator, was placed onjtrJal here today on the charge or false pretenses. The morning was devoted to getting a jury. The follow ing brokers from Chicago are here to testify to Irwin's speculations in grain: R. L. Thornton and J. A. Ball, of Rart lett, Frazier & Co.; J. Murphy, of Norton, Worthington & Co., and W. H. Morton of McPhersou, Morton & Jackson. Debs Case Again Delayed. Chicago, Feb. 11. The Dobs con spiracy case was again delayed today by the illness of Juror Coo. Judge Gross cup and a physician visited the juror at his hotel and at the opening of court the judgo auuonnced that Coe could not be in court for at least two weeks. After a lengthy consultation with the attor neys the court said that at 2 o'clock he would announce a decision as to what action would bo taken.

Hawaiian advices by steamer "Warrimoo to Feb 2: There is a lull in affairs here and quiet will probably reign until the rnili- tary court, now 6itting, will have fin ished its work. There are a large nnm ber of conspiracy cases yet to be tried ! and the probabilities are that the court will for two or three weeks at least. Great interest is attached to the forth coming trial of the ex-queen. ..The gov ' ernment claims to have more than suf ficient evidence to convict her of trea son. What her punishment will be in case of conviction is hard to conjecture. Her case will probably come up on next Monday., She is charged -with treason. The charges read: First Treason by engaging in open re bellion against the republic of Hawaii, by attempting by force of arms to overthrow and destroy the same and by levying war against the same, and by adhering to the enemies of the republic of Hawaii, giving them aid and comfort withm the Ha waiian islands and elsewhere. Second Treason by aiding, allotting, procuring, counselling, inciting, counten ancing and encouraging others to commit treason and engage in open rclnjllion against tho republic of Hawaii aud to at tempt by force of arms to overthrow the same, and adhere to the enemies or the re public of Hawaii, in giving them aid and comfort in the Hawaiian islands and else where. Tl ere are six specifications in tho charge. The military commission has brought in findings in 24 cases. Their names are: R. W. Wilcox, S. Nowlein, H. E. Bertehnan, Carl Wiedemann, W. H. C. Greig, Louis Marshall, W. C. Lane, J. C. June, C. T. Gnlick, W. H, Rickards, W. Seward, T. B. Walker, Solomon Eaui, Pelahna, Lot Lane, Thomas Poole, J. Ealakuia, Robert Pe- lau, J. W. Kipikane. Kelioua, Joseph Clark, E. Kiolani, Joseph Clark, D. Januha, W. Widdifield. Joea Kiakihi. Leaders Sentenced to Hang. Of the foregoing D. Januha and J. Kalaukoa were acquitted. The others were all. found guilty and sentences were fixed by the committee subject to review b President Dole. The sen tences vary much, all the way from sen tence of death to imprisonment for five years with fines. The lowest sentonco for treason by the Hawaiian statutes is imprisonment for five years and a fine of not less chau $3,000. The six leaders were all sentenced to be hung. They are: Charles T. Gnlick, William H. Rickard, William T. Seward, Robert W. Wilcox, Sam Nowleiu and Henry Bertehnan. Sentence in the last two eases will be commuted, as botli men have furnished valuable evidence for the government. Gnlick was born in this country. Rickard is an English man. Wilcox is a Hawaiian. The only one of the four who is en titled to the protection of tho United States is William T. Seward. As yet no date has been fixed for the execu tions. The only important case tried by the military court since the departnre of (lie Australia is that of V. V. Ashford. He is charged with treason. A batch of 20 native rebels, charged with treason, is now occupying the attention of the court. United States Minister Willis has changed liis attitude somewhat, since tho last advices. He is not so billigerent in his demands. His latest communication to the government is a request that if the death penalty is im posed in cases of any Americans that the executions be jwstpoued until he can communicate with his government. The British commissioner has made a simi lar request. Thus far bnt two men who claim American protection have been tried. Thejj" are Lonis Marshal, charged with open rebellion and Thomas Walker, who pleaded guilty to the charge of treason. The government has decided to banish three persons from the islands for com plicity in the rebellion. They are J. E. Cranston and A. Muller, for conspiring to use dynamite, and J. R. Johnston, special police officer, who turned traitor. The men will bo sent on the Warrimoo, leaving for Victoria today. Cranston and Muller were to blow up the Cen tral Union church on tho night when the rebellion broke out. Of the exiles, Johnston is a British subject, Cranston an American and Muller a German. They say they do not know what they were arrested for; were given no trial; were kept confined without any chance of communication, and did not know they were to leavo until the Warrimoo whistled to leave. Johnston will remain at Vancouver, but the others say they will not leave the steamship, bnt will re turn on her to Honolulu when she goes back. They claim that they have been victims of gross outrage. MinUtcr Hatch May Jtealgn. Schooner Norma arrived at Honolulu on Jan. 30 with a cargo of salmon, 5G days from Claxton. No traces of arms or opium wero found and thus another sensation was spoiled. The steamer Daisy Kimball, recently purchased by a Hawaiiau firm, was wrecked on the coast of Hawaii on Jan. 25. She proved to be a total loss. Insured for $35,000 F. M. Hatch, the minister of foreign af fairs, may resign shortly and leave for San Francisco. His successor will prob ably be W. N. Armstrong, formerly of the New York bar. To obtain a de cision of his exact status, F. C. Jones, a prominent property holder under the re public, wrote Minister Willis to learn just what- position he occupied in the United States; whether he was still subject to tho income tax and at the same time cannot look to the American government lar protection. The Perils of Dentistry To Dentists. A sensation has been caused in Berlin by the death of a dentist from blood poisoning under the following circum stances: On drawing a lady's tooth he happened to get his finger into the pa tient's mouth. At that moment sho con vulsively closed her teeth. A few hours afterward the dentist was found to be suffering from blood poisouing, which spread so rapidly that an operation .which was performed on the same day, had no effect. The next day he becamo delirious and died shortly afterward.
