THE It. A- J. Ji HI DUE CASES.
Tiiic Wiilmali Weekly New is rtsiion
b'iMo for the following, which explains
itself:
The lrii?ht joun?j corporation lawyei
who wiw ek-vatcd to the bench of thi
tli.-trii t, Mr. Field, will have some t'un.
for Holier reflection over the decision oi
the supreme court over the decision ol
the II. ic M. bridge tax case. II was so
certain that the law of the case was with
the company thut he would not even al
Jow a jury to consider questions of fuel
involved, but summarily ordered a ver
diet for the company, without leaving
their seats. If the young man has ain
self respect it must have been sadl
wounded by the terrible rebuke that vu
couched in the supreme court's decision.
Jlis hasty ami abrupt action when th
case was before him gve strong color to
the general belief that he was put for
ward for the judgeship us a corporation
creature, and the decision given out In
the supreme court seems to confirm thai
belief as a fact. The young man hail
better do penance awhile. There is room
for reform in his conduct. Plattsmouth
Journal.
And the newspapers which als.
thought the Judge wa right and thai
the commissioners were foolish in appeal
ing the case, have they had time to re
pent? If we remember rightly when
those resolutions were adopted by th.
County Alliance, urging a repeal, anil
criticising the rulings of the Judge Thk
1i.attsmol"tii Herald cried out in agony
at the idea of the tax-payers critizing the
actions of a judge of a high court, or in
any other way interfere with the yerdiei
the jury was compelled to render. Tinn
nnd the supreme court nukes all thing
right, Judge Field and Thk 1 1 kkam not
withstanding. In reply to this we quote for the bene
fit of the 2fewn just what this paper did
eay, and that our neighbor may agaii
know exactly where The Herald stooil
on "the bridge cases."
It was the harsh criticism of the Alli
ance expressions in a resolution implying
dishonesty upon the part of the judg
that the Herald objected to. If a judgt
af a court is to be charged with dishon
esty every time he commits an error oi
ruling upon questions of law there wouk
be no courts left in the land entitled t
respect. The Herald thought Judg
Field made a mistake and was willin:
and anxious that the supreme court o
the state pass upon the matter and correc
that mistake. On the evening of Dec
13,18s? in reporting the case the Hekali
made the following comment:
The court this morning calln
the jury in and charged them to bring ii
a verdict for the plaintiff which w:
done, thus taking the question of fan
entirely out of the hands of the jury .
proceeding v-'ry much to be regretted bj
the tax payers of the county.
Again on Jan. 25, 1SSS, in response ti
a communication from our Alliano
friends containing a resolution askin.i.
the judge to resign the Herald said aftet
criticising the spirit of the resolution:
'The Herald has ben entirtly on tin
side of the county in this contest but wt
do not propose to reverse Judge Field
opinion of the law until we see what out
supreme court does.
If this is opposing an appeal of th
Bridge case to the supreme court, or i
an endorsement of Judge Field's rulins.
in that case our neighbor is welcome tt
make the most of it. As we then said,
had Judge Field been correct in hi
judgment of what the law of the cas.
was his instructions to the jury wou!
have leen unobjectionable; but
biiug in error as to the law he was
wrong in his in-tructi on. for the greai
steel bridge is not a port of the right o
way and roadbed of the rairroad co u
pany and our supreme court in so de
termining was compelled to reverse tin
rulings of Judge Field.
The Herald wanted to leave the mat
tjr to the supreme court and we think
very properly criticised the Alii irae for
the manner in which that body charyed
a corrupt intention upon Judge Field
The Alliance and Tue Herald and the
Mipreme court have all been together on
the vital question at Issue in the case; at
the same time we are still willing to c n
ede that Judge Field was honest in his
rulings. ,

THE SECTIONALISM OF FREE
TRADE.
The most notable speech delivered thus
far this year is that which has just been
made by J. F. Hanson, of Georgia, before
the American Protective Tariff League,
at the annual banquet in New York.
Maj. Hanson, we believe, was for years-,
and until recently, the editor of the
Macon Ttleyruph, and, although one of
the most conspicuous democrats of his
state, is an earnest and pronounced pro
tectionist In the course of Ids speech
Mr. Hanson said:
Whenever the union has been assailed,
and it has been in jeopardy more than
once, the sentiment that opposed it, that
-ougiit to dissolve it, was conceived in the
womb, nurtured at the breast, dandled
upon the knee and rocked in the cradle
of free trade. This statement is true,
whi ther tested by the nullification act of
South Carolina or the Confederacy formed
it M ntgomery, Ala. It is true, because
the philosophy of free trade as taught
at present, and as always taught in this
C miitry, has been, and is, based upon
a gregation, upon conflict anil antagon
ism between sections and states, classes
and interests. This doctrine is contrary
t ) the spirit of the union, which ceases
1 1 bo a union in fact when it ceases to be
a union of interests.
This is a slrong statement, but every
body who is fi.miliar with the political
history of the country knows that it is
solid, sober fact? The free trade idea has
always been sectional. In the old slavery
days, on the assumption that nothing but
cotton could be produced in the South, it
discouraged and opposed the policy which
placed the northern states of the. coun
try in material and moral greatness, in
advance of every other portion of Chris
tendom. Today it seems to array the
South and West against the Eastern and
Central States, on the plea that the coun
try is being robbed in order to build up
mil enrich the manufacturing regions, in
he face of unimpeachable evidence that
vitliout the competition created by these
industries which the tarilT has establish
ed the South and west would have to
;ay far more to Europe for the commodi
ties which they purchase than they do to
ihe manufacturing districts of their own
ountry at this moment.
In contradistinction to the free trade
idea, the protective policy is based upon
(he theory that there can be no real con
flict of interests between different states
if this country. While free trade is
sectional, protection is always, and must
of necessity be, national. It aims to
build up all the industries of the country
not those simply of a small portion of it.
The rice and sugar growers of the South
rind as ready and ample defence behind
the barriers against foreign rivals which
the tariff has erected as is accorded to
he metal and textile producers of the
North. Indeed to the two peculiarly
southern industries named is given a
larger measure of support hy the laws
than is extended to the average iu
lustries of the remainder of the country.
The nim is to give all important concern
needing protection, irrespective of lo
cality, a fair and reasonable amount of
iroteetion, to the end that the industries
f the whole country may be fostered
symmetrically, so that all the resources,
resources, talents and aptitudes of the
icople may be intelligently and profitably
leveloped. Against this nationalistic
riiii ipls the free trade scheme wages

'Hi. IiO IE WATER AXD HUBJflS
SIOX. Tlu announcement is made by the
riends of Mr. Rosewater, of the Omaha
'lee, that he is heading the anti submis
sion lobby at Lincoln.
It would be a moderate estim ite to say
that two-thirds of the voters of this state
tre in favor of the submission of a pro
hibitory amendment by the present legis
lature. And yet here is Rosewater who
is constantly howling ab mt the wishes
of the people not being satisfied etc., not
only prostituting his paper but taking
the field in person, and for what? For
the purpose of attempting to bulldoz
the legislature into preventing the people
from having an opportunity of express
ing their yiews through the ballot box in
this, a Im'tted to be one of the live
lucstions before the country. Persons
vho in tim :s past have been accustomed
to giving Roiewiter credit fur a certain
unount oi sincerity, will certainly have
:!ieir eyes opened. F. r the lowest depths
f practical depravity has been reached
.vhen a newspaper becomes the willing
-. ol of the Whiskey Trust and Saloon
veep:TS association. It seems that this
reat paper of the peoj.lv (?) has detailed
i couple of its creatures to go over into
Iowa to write up prohibition in that state.
A'hat has the failure or success of en
forcing prohibition in that state gat to
do with the right of the yoters of this
state to piss upou the question for them
selves. The time for the discussion of the
merits and demerits of prohibition will
be when the question is before the people.
Some of the most earnest advocates of
submission woul.I doubtless vote agaiut
the amendment, should it be subaiitte I .
They believe in fair play. The editor
of the lite does not. He wants to say to
the pcop'e of Nebraska tint they shall
not have the right to decide this question j
for themselves; that the wishes of a lot
of gin mill proprietii s are to override
the wishes of the n spct element of
society.
It is a little singular ho .v sensitive Mr.
Sherman grows when anything threatens
the oflicial existanee of his bean ideal of
a democratic ofliee holder, the present
county attorney; consequently, the rec
ommendation made by the county com
missioners of the state that the ollice of
county attorney be nh. dished, prompts
our neighbor to make an attack on Coun
ty Commissioner Todd, for favoring such
a movement. There is a common like
ness, a similarity of tastes, a common
standarlof principle and morals by
which our neighbor and his protege are,
alike, governed which, undoubtedly,
prompts the Journal man to fly to his
relief when' dan'cr threatens. The ,7o?r
nal has evidently found one oflicial
which it can ajprreiafe and understand.
We predict, ere long, most of our neigh
bor's time will be taken up guarding the
-iflieial character of this wonderful protege.
An average allowance of nerve and in
telligence in tiie state department at
Washington during the pnst year or two
would have been worth many thousands
of dollars to th American residents in
Samoa, and would have spared the
American nation a rcrions loss of prestige
throughout the world. However, a new
and worthier set of men assume control
of the government six weeks hence.
From all appearances it is safe to say
that the preseut administration will not
risk a war with Germany. The most
that can be expected of it is vetoing pen
sion bills for the widows of union
soldiers.
"Oh! where shall rest be found?"
The worn out mother sighs;
Stockings to mend, and trousers to darn,
Dishes to wash, and butter to churn,
While my back feels to break, and head
and heart burn,
And life is a constant friction.
The summer came and went.
The matron no longer sighs;
Elastic her step, and rounded her cheek,
Work seems but play, life is now sweet,
And the change was made in one short
week,
By Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Positive remedy for those derangements,
irregularities, and weaknesses so com
mon to womankind.
Hog Thief isomers Captured.
Nebraska City, Neb., Jan. 23
Sheriff William returned last night from
Little Falls, iMun., with Perry Somers,
the somewhat noted hog thief that broke
jail here last June, while awaiting trans
fer to the penitentiary to serve a sentence
of three j'ears.

large, honorable and permanent trade can
be built up. Very liberal terms to the
right man, Address J. E. Whitnev.

Every Household
Should have Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
It saves thousands of lives annually,
and is peculiarly efficacious, in Croup,
Whooping Cough, and Sore Throat.
" After an extensive practice of nearly
one-third of a century, Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral is my cure for recent colds ami
coughs. I prescribe it, and believe it
to be the very best expectorant now
offered to the people." Dr. John Cf
Levis, Druggist, West Bridgewater, Po.
" Some years ago Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral cured me of asthma after the best
medical skill had failed to give me re
lief. A few weeks since, being again a
little troubled with the disease, I was
promptly
Relieved By
the same remedy. I gladly offer this
testimony for the benefit of all similarly
atibctod." F. II. Hassler, Editor Argus,
Table Kock, Kebr,
"For children afflicted -with colds,
roughs, sore throat, or croup, I do noi
know of any remedy which will givjg
more speedy relief than Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. I have found it, also, invalu
able in cases of whooping cough," t
Anii Love joy, 1251 Washington street,
Boston, Mass.
"Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has proved
remarkably effective in croup and is
invaluable as a family medicine."
