THE NERBASKA INDEPENDENT EUGENE MOORE' DEFENSE Jtine 3, 1879 Will Ba Practically the Same As That On Which Hilton Escaped. The case of the state against ex-Auditor Moore was reached in the district court of Lancaster county last Friday. Moore'B attorney filed a demurrer to three of the counts in the information and a motion to quash the remaining six counts. By agreement the argument of the motions was put over for one week, until 10:30 a. m. Saturday, June 5. Moore sets up practically the same de fense as that made by ex-Oil Inspector Hilton. He claims that he was not uthorized under the statutes to collect oney for the state and practically asserts that the fees paid to him by in surant companies should have been paid to the state treasurer by them, lie alleges that he was not the officer charged with the collection, receipt, safe keeping, transfer and disbursement of public money for the state of Nebraska. ni iti.J.,fAnua in nilmlv a ttwh 1PH I Jl I U U I HtJ Hie UOIOUDO Y J . one and involves only the question of whether fees should be paid to the state treasurer and the treasurer's receipt presented to the auditor upon which he should issue a license to the company to transact business in this state, or whether the company cau pay the fee to the auditor for the license and the audi tor turn the cash over to the state treas urer. Moore claims that the first method is the proper proceeding although the latter has been the practice since the beginning of the state. It would seem to ny sane man that Moore, having accepted the funds and Issued the license aud certificates required by the laws of the state, had by the acceptance of the money and issuance o! the receipt of the state of Nebraska bound himself to per form the rest of his duty, and turn the cash over to the treasurer. He was an officer of the state and accepted the money for the state. To keep it for bis own use was stealing, and he deserves to be convicted of the crime of which he is guilty. ' ' A GREAT REMEDY. For Sufferers from Files. Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study and treatment of piles and rectal diseases recently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure of piles, was the most remarkable remedy he had ever seen or tried in one respect; aud that was, the instant relief exper ienced in all cases, no matter how severe from the moment the remedy was ap plied; this was the more surprising to him. because be had carefully analyzed the preparation and no trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison could be de tected. ' Physicians look with great favor upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rapidly taking the place of surgical operations aud because it is so simple.so easily applied and contains no mineral or other poisons so commonly used in pile cures. . Dr. Esterbrook reports the that the Pyramid Tile Cure not only cures the various forms of Piles, but never fails to give immediate relief on the first appli- discomfort may be. V ' Vi who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the instant relief experienced from the first applica tion. Another important advantage is the fact that anv one can use the remedy without detention irom ousiiiess or nt- a.. .-I !A.t- Jil UnlA xenerence wuu uttnjr uaupuuu. by druggists at 50 cents per package.

The United States supreme court has has handed down an opinion in the case of L. E. Parsons, late district attorney for the northern district of Alabama, ap pealed from the court of claims. The decision was adverse to Parson's claim that he was entitled, under section 769 of the Revised Statutes, to hold his office for four years, notwithstanding the president's order of removal. Justice Peckham said that while the appoint ment was for four years it might be terminated earlier at the discretion of the president. The determination of this case, has been looked forward to with interest be cause of its possible effect upon the re moval ol office holders Incident to the change of administration. Parsons was removed in 1893, having been appointed in 1890. He wrote to the president, refusing to surrender the place on the ground that as he had been appointed for a term of four years the president had no right to remove him before the expiration of that time. He has fought the case through the various federal courts on this theory. Prayer for Queen Victoria. The authorities ot the church of Eng land have ordered that the following prayer shall be said on the occasion of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee: "0 Lord, our Heavenly Father we give Thee nearly thanks for the many blesaiugs which thou hast bestowed up us during the sixty years ot the happy reign ol our gracious Queen Victoria.

He does not think it fair to tax a la.OUO.OOO fortune IS per cent when a .j,t)00 fortune is taxed only o per cent. 'In this country' he says, equity Is de manded In all things.' It may be, but It is not obtained.

He must be aware that the bill he vetoea is but au application ol a principle ol taxation that la aoiversally sanctioned by the ablest thiakers os the subject. The inheritance tax in England is even severer. Today the vast fortunes of New York millionaire pay altnnat nothing in the way of taxes. It isadis grace that this should be so. A member of the governor's own party proposed the bill. We refer to comptroller ltol brts. And Mr. Black get hi cue from the millionaire who own him. They paid his election expense.
