The impeachment casas are closed and It is expected that the decision will be handed down in the Bear future, the Opinion outside of the Omaha Bee seems to be that the defendants will be ac quitted, . The expenses of tlie 28d session of tbe legislature which expired a few weeks ago cost tbe taxpayers of the state, for legislative purposes alone, $140,000. that looks like a big price to pay for what was accomplished! Secretary Morton, of tbe agricultural department, wears a huge diamond ring, a Darning ruby scarf pin and conspicuous diamond cuff buttons. These are proba bly to indicate that he is a real farmer and that this is ft business administra tion. -Toledo Blade. The tournament of the state firemen's association which was to have been held at C'hadron during the present month has been declared off, as no entries by companies from the eastern or central part of the state had been received. It ts to be regretted, for a gathering of that kind at Chadron would have been a beneflt to all of northwest Nebraska. A few days ago tbe telegraphers on an astern road went out on a strike and in consequence a train which was on the road was wrecked in a terrible manner vrithia an hour. It may be all right for organised labor to protect its rights by strikes but it does not seem just for men . to organize and take such action as will jeopardise life and property. The man Who can devise a plan to prevent strikes is the roan the country needs. There is already a good deal of inter vet being taken in the coating judicial lection. It seems to be the opinion of many that Chief Justice Maxwell will retire on account of age, and in that tent e new man would have to be Selected. Quite favorable mention has . been made of Judge Kinkaid, the eastern judge of this district, as good timber for the place. The party could do much worse than to select him, and northwest Kebraska should be solid for him. Judd Woods has disposed of his inter est in the Holt County Independent and it Will be moved to Oakdale and consol idated with the .Beacon Light. The de funct reform organ had existed for just one year. The cause of its demise was lack of financial support. It is another demonstration of the fact that a news paper is a business enterprise and unless tt is conducted on business principles it is bound to go down. A little study of the newspaper history of Nebraska will convince any one of the truth of that statement. In his argument for the prosecution of tbe impeachment cases Mr. Lambertson took occasion to call the attention of the judges of the supreme court to the pos sibility that if the eefandants were ac quitted public sentiment might be against then. The ''public sentiment'' racket is all right to work on a jury, but the judges of the supreme court are expected to decide according to the law and the veidence, regardless of public opinion. If tbe members of that court are to be swayed and biased by outside influence they had better be im peached. In another column we publish an ar ticle from the Fremont JV.'fcime in legard to W. L. Greene and the impeachment cases. That is a fair sample of the men who get to the front in the pop party. The men who are in that party from principle are hoodwinked by the unprin cipled office-seeking offscourings of all other parties who consider public office as a private snap and have no regard for honor, principle or tbe public welfare or ntoeoeritv. A populist office-bolder who has worked for the interest of the public, or for any thing nxcept hit own pur ' advantage would indeed be a cariosity. . The iodk Uoaa are that snore compli eattoas will wise in tbe attempt to en force the Geary law against the Chine sad reUlitory measures will 1 likely be takes by that government and American ciU-en. will not be admitted to China. In addition to that a number or ooenpa- iea in the United States who employe a Urge number of Chinese laborer MUMf to fight tbe law on the ground tat it will ruin their basin ess. It in eertaia that the law will work hard bin on eome, bat the well-established ft-at tU tbe almoad-eved mo oln is Im tkm mn. dsmanls that it U dee ton easer it C3tt vi-i Gen. Colby repor weather ser vice bureau to be iu Uui shape and ti nt there is great lack of harmony aniotg the employees; and no part of tbe mi chrnerv moves smoothly. Under such conditions it is not surprising that T cloaes, bail, drouth, etc., prevail in many localities. In the report of State Auditor Moore it appears that appropriations of f 105 for publishing the governor s proclamations concerning the constitutional amend ments voted upon at the election of 1892, were made for the CHiten, of Chadron, and the Boonxerdng, of Craw ford, both in Dawes county. The law requires that such notices be published in one paper in each county. How did it come tliat $105 of the people's money was allowed more than the law calls for, right under Sena tor Stewart's nose and that great (!) guar dian of the dear people did not raise . his voice against it ? Did he know rll about all of the items in tile appropriation bills for which he voted? Representative Irwin, of Platte county is another of tbe professional reformers who is having hard sledding. He was allowed $300 in the legislative combine organized to get attorney's fees in con test cases and he had no earthly right to a cent of it, but the vouchers in the an di tor's office show that be drew it just the same. It is agreed that his expenses incurred, in view of a threatened contest, entitled him to $25, but in excess of that it was a clean steal. He has earned the contempt of the boodlers by reason of the smallness of his peculation so small to inspire contempt from that scource even, irwin is a blatant reformer wno has successfully succeeded. Fremont Tribune. Tbe following Associated press report from Wichita, Kansas, bearing date of May 26th, may be of interest to our readers: 'By a preconcerted arrangement be tween tbe mayors of Wellington, Win Held, Arkansas City, South Haven, Cald well, Hutchinson and Newton, a simul taneous bombardment of the heavens was begun at noon yesterday. Cannon and every explosive within reach was brought into requisition and hundreds of men and boys with guns blazed away at the skies till 2 p. m. when the clouds op- toed their reservoirs and drenched the earth, the rain continuing for hours. All the country, for some miles beyond the radius of these towns, was deluged by the heaviest rain that has fallen for a long time." Rosewater has tried and convicted the impeached state officers and told the su preme court that if it does not do the same the republican party of Nebraska will be plowed under for years to come. The anxiety shown by Rosewater for the success of the republican party is pathet ic enough to draw tears from the eyes of stone Joss. Much he cares for the re publican party or anything else that he cannot dictate to. The only times the republican party has met with partial defeat in the state is chargeable to that man Rosewater. A pretty specimen he is to tell the supreme court what it should do in order to help the republican party. If the republican party would get rid of him and those of his ilk who insist on either ruling or ruining the party there would be far less danger of defeat. Wildcat Banking Toledo Blade. The democratic platform of last year demanded the repeal of the 10 per cent tax, imposed by the national banking law on the circulation of all bunks of issue not national. It is probable that congress, next winter, will pass a law repealing this tax. That will allow other banks to issue notes under state authority, and another era of "wildcat banking" will set in. We advert to this subject now, because the failure of a long cliain of small private banks, in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, all started by a banking firm in Chicago, gives a bril liant object lesson to people who are intelligent enough to understand it. Zirnri Dwiggins, of Chicago, was the moving spirit in the organization of this chain of country banks. He was a very heavy stockholder and the cashier of the Columbia National bank, of Chica go. He and his fellow stockholders owned an interest in all of these little banks in tlie three states named. The Arm attempted to extend its business without enough capital to carry exten sions covering so great a territory; the financial stringency caught them unpre pared, the Columbia National bank went down, and with it all the country banks belonging to the same firm. : . Suppose the 10 per cent circulation tax had been repealed; there is no doubt each of these little banks would have is sued note Thane notes would have been out in the band of the people in tbe locality of each kank. The failure would have thus meant, not only loss to depositors, but lose to every nun un lucky enough to hold one or more of these notes. As it is, tbe Columbia, be ing a national bank, its notes are per fectly good, because the government holds bonds belonging to the( bank wherewith to redeem them. Mo, note holder can possibly toes a cent jts not the illiMtrmtiea a mffldently reitye one to ooartao every thinking man of the dnngws of the democratic progrMif A tVefessloual Bftfor- Fremout Ttibon . The Tribune does not wish to Im un duly severe in its treatment of tiie fton. Bill Greene, one of the impeachment lawyers the one selected by a roofer ence of the populist members of the leg islature, but there are certain features in respect to his connection with the case that invite a present consideration. Mr. Greene's absence from aod non participation in the trial at the begin ninr,aecording to the generally accepted reports, was due to a moral weakness and this fact ought perliaps excite our sympathy and compassion rather than provoke harsh and caustic criticism; but since this is an era of "reform" and we have a large number of men in Nebraska professionally engaged in bringing about reforms among whom Mr. Greene is one of which, as we may say and once in a while something occurs calculated to make a mule grin if it were not sol emnly sad in some of its aspects. Mr. Greene, himself a member of the referm party, honored with a caucus nomination for U. S. senator and voted for by the populists of tbe legislature for several days, was employed to pros- ecute a number of men in office prin cipally oh the charge that they had neglected to perform the duties, not primarily, of their office but of one of a large number of boards of various kinds the duties of which have been forced upon state officials by reason of the growth of Nebraska. We have told how Mr. Greene, before tbe trial began, drew $500 of the exor bitant fee allowed him. Prior to that he had been paid $500 for his opinion as to the validity of the impeachment charges and then $60 for drawing the im peachment articles, which he did not draw. To date therefore he has drawn in this impeachment business $1050 nnd has $2,000 more coming, and the singu lar fact is that he has not earned a dol lar of it, nor has he pretended to earn it. There is a singular fatality attaching to this whole business. It is a curious turn of human affairs when the men who are employed to prosecute other men for high crimes and deprive them of the functions of their citizenship, privil eges almost as dear as life to a patriotic man, in that very act of prosecution commit more wanton and nagrant abuses in precisely the same manner the accused are said to have committed them. Attorney Greene has liad but one thing to do, but he drew a liberal slice of his pay in advance and then neg lected, completely and entirely, his duty in the case. It is the most absurd situa tion and condition that could well be im agined and it is one that disposes forever of Greene as a political factor in any cause or party, while it reflects severely upon the populist organization which has continually put him forward, in campaigns as an advocate ol us doc trines, in the legislature as its candidate for U. S. senatar. and in the impeach ment cases as its attorney. If the state officials are convicted of neglecting duties in certain particulars when they had a thousand others press ing from every side, then W. L. Greene in his wanton neglect of tho only duty devolving upon him, for which his pay in two months amounts to more than that of the officials in a year, should be boiled in oil for a period of thirty days and repeat, if his punishment is to corre spond with a verdict of guilty for those whom he prosecutes. The remains of Jeff Davis have been removed to Richmond and the afTair was one of great liomp and display. It was conducted as a military funeral and a guard of confederate soldiers marched beside the hearse and tbe occasion was taken for a general display of feeling in the south. Such things are what keep alive the objections in the north to the southern brigadiers getting into power. Final Proof Sotices.
