The eastern portions of tiie 'state are rejoicing over tbe fact that the drouth Which has brevailed there for the most of a year past has at last been broken by a heavy rain. Northwest Nebraska has been in no danger of a lack of moisture at any time during tbe past yean The trial of some of tbe men charged with having defrauded the slate in the supplies furnished to the asylum at Lin coln has commenced and it is to be hoped that all the facts in the case will be brought out and if the state has been defrauded the offenders should be pun ished. The reports of the wheat crop in the south where it has already matured to a degree which admits of a certain calcula- tion as to its quality and quanty, are that the crop will be very short. With the proshects of a good yield in this locality the farmers are looking forward to prosperity for it seems that higher prices must rule. The papers during the last few days have been filled with reports of the ob servance of Decoration Day and of the graduating exercises of the schools of tnany of the towns and cities of the state. The two go well together. Hie former teaches patriotism and the latter shows that the children of the country are being fitted to enjoy the privileges vouchsafed to them by the government tinder which they live. It was thought that Senator North had a dead sure thing on the oflice of collector of internal revenue. From present indications it is doubtful about the plum falling to any Nebraskan for Some South Dakota democrats are mak ing a very hard rustle for it. In that case Mr. North will have to look for something else. The commission of the present incumbent expires in a short time and a successor will likely be named soon. The managers of the worlds fair do not seem to be very well pleased with the attendance at the big show and the money seems to be coming in much too ; slow to suit them. One of the greatest drawbacks to a large attendance so far has been tbe high rates maintained by the railroad companies. The probabili ties are that the rates will be very much (educed from what they are now before the season is over. Those who go now are the ones who can afford to pay a Rood rate. A lower rate will likely le made later, for unless a reduction is made many who intended to njake the trip will stay at home. The cases against Atlee Hart, of Da kota City, were called at La Mars, Iowa, on last Saturday. The charge is extor tion, nd the case has excited much at tention. The plan as reported at the time dt Hart's arrest was to get hold of something sensational about some prom inent person and then low him what was intended to lie published in sensa tional paer in Chicago. The person select ed for a victim would Ui informed that for a consideration the article would be suppressed. It was pretty low business and if Hart whs guilty he should be punished to the full extent of the law. He is a man of means so that he cannot even plead the thin excuse of poverty for working the contemptable scheme. It is expected that the trial will be a long and hard-fought one. The intef-stnte railn ;l convention which is to be held at Lincoln on the 88th of the present month by delegates from the ten state intuits ted in a north and south railroad from the north line of Dakota to the gulf of Mexico, is at tracting much attention and a- meeting of much importance is anticipated. The convention is the result of a resolution passed by the senate and was introduced by Senator Stewart By it the governor of Nebraska was authorized to arrange for the convention and he has entered into the work with a great deal of zeal. Tbe delegates are appointed by the gov ernors of tbe various states and will be noo -partisan a far as possible. As a Qtting recognition of Mr. Stewart as tbe one who introduced the resolution, Gov ernor Crounse has put his name at the bead of the Nebraska delegation. The result of the convention will be watched with a great deal of interest as tbe plan - to to build the railroad by a tax to be letiedon the real estate of the states through which it is to pass and to be owned and control led by the states and operated at cost. More plainly speaking it is to be a start in the government ownership of railroads, and if the proper . safeguards are placed around its opera tion that it cannot be used as a fSionl eMehiae it nut- prove tbe en tviex wwfet to what many look for- : tr-Ato t the only Motion of t it f" '7njgBotJ nnTOlaeVMnV The supreme court handed down its decision in the great impeachment farce and the men whom t:ie political sleuths attempted to brand with infamy, are pronounced to be not guilty as charged, Chief Justice Maxwell dissented, but that was expected, some having assert ed that he went Into the hearing with his mind made up on the result As to the ex-officials the court held that it had no jurisdiction, so that disposed of the cases against Messrs. Hill, Leese and Benton. As to the charges against the present board of public lands and build ings the opinion is a long one but it com pletely exonerates all of them. Thus the matter ended. As was expected Kosewater again convicted the men in the issue of the Bee of Monday morning, but the court does not appear to have been led by him id its Work. The great scheme of the pops has failed. The de fendants were prosecuted by as able law yers as the state'affords, and they were paid enough to induce them to put forth every effort in their power to secure conviction', but there was nothing to build a foundation on, as no corrupt motive could be shown, and the struc ture fell and with it fell the hopes of the the pops and of their ally the editor of the Bee. The taxpayers can pay for the attempt of the great reformers to make some political capital at the expense of the reputation of the state officials. The state board of public lands and buildings Will do business at the old stand and the base maligners may slink off and hide their shame as best they can. The attempt to rob a man of his good name cannot be condemned too strongly. If the officials had been pros ecutedby the pop attorney, Greene, it might be hinted that all was not brought out but no such charge can be made as the record stands. Some of the local pop leaders have evidently told the editor of the Independ ent that he was not worth what they paid for him and in order to make a show of earning his purchase pap he pub lished a labored article in bis issue of last week in the defense of the pop legis lators, the chief arguments being per sonalities directed at the editor of this paper. As there is nothing new about that it is simply a waste of space to notice it. The assertion that The Journal aims only to cast reflections on the populist party is not correct. This paper be lieves that there are many of the rank and file of the party who are in it from principle and are conscieiicious in their work and this paper has full respect for them, but so much cannot be said of the leaders of the party. Look for a mo ment at the array of reformers who are running that party: Paul Vandevoort Jay Burrows, Van Wycfc, Bill Greene, Shrader, Bill Dech, Kruse, Stewart and the local lights of reform. Are such men honest in their reform, or are they like the editor of the Independent ad vocating what they do not believe for the money there is in it? the ability anu integrity ol the mem bers from the northwest district is de fended by the reform for revenue only editor. It may be well, now that he has called the point up, to look into that. Senator Stewart attempted to be elected to the senate from a district in the east ern part of the state as a republican but was defeated. He had evidently heard what the boy told his office-seeking father, and came west in the hope of getting his hunger for oflice satiated, for he went to work systematically to ac complish that object. He led the people to believe that he was a great man the Moses who alone was capable of leading them out of the wilderness of debt and hard times. He was elected to the sen ate and what did he do ? In his senato rial aapacity he vod for W. L. Greene for united states senator. Did he know what kind of a man Greene was? If he did and voted for him for that place he did not work honestly for the interests of the people who elected him, and if lie did not know what Greene was and, voted for him he was guilty of the same offense as that he would liave the state officers impeached for. In the matter of railroad freiglit rates Stewart was elected to look after the interests of his district. Did lie know that the new law would raise the "rates' which the people whom he was sent to represent would have to pay ? If he did he was not honest in supporting Uie bill, and if lie did not he demonstrated that he was not as smart as he had made the people believe he was. If he knowingly voted for a higher rate he must have had an object in it, and if he did not know it he was either grossly careless or densely ignorant Stewart had studied vp a harangue on tbe silver question so that he brought the senate to time on one occasion by threatening to talk for two weeks on that subject, but he did not have time -to pfepare himself so as to know how to conduct himself under the rules which he helped to adopt to govern tbe body of which be was a member, and grew vindictive toward the presiding officer, who in the performance of the duties of his oflice bad occasion to frequently call him down, Tliese are a few things concerning, tbe official acts of Mm Deadatan statesman. The more the record of tbe Usseesiori of the state ate if examined tbe snore apparent the fact becomes that iso lator for northwest Nebraek! fl.;o. Stewart is a more of a wooess than is Bill Greene as a prosecutor of slate officials. As to the railroads making - i-n-der tbe new law, that is all boali. i'iie new law cuts the rate on some things very low and leaves an opportunity to charge a higher rate on others and tbe roads will be sure to raise enough on tbe things they can to even up on the loss where cuts are made, and it happens that what has to be shipped fiom Stew art's district are of the kinds on which the rates can be raised. Members from other districts evidently guarded the interests of their constituents more closely than did Stewart A terrible storm visited Clay county a few days ago. So fierce was it that calves and other young stock was killed and buildings damaged by the hail and the wind tore down windmills and other structures. The hail in the draws twenty-four after the storm was four feet deep. It was the worst storm ever ex perienced in that locality. The Trusts Hare Hard Times. Inter Ocean. Several of tbe great trusts have been in the money market as borrowers dur ing the past week, and their experience has not been pleasant. Capital has not regarded their bonds as first-elass secu rity. A few months ago when the Inter Ocean was attacking the cordage trust and was urging the Illinois state's attor ney to begin suit against the coal trust, the credit of the great trusts ranked as "gilt-edge," to-day it hardly stands in the third class. There has been a wonderful shrinkage in Uie value of trust stocks since the beginning of the present year, $100,000,000 being the esti mated depreciation of stock values in nine of the great combinations. It is the old story, "the way of the transgressor is hard," "water will not run up hill;'' there are a hundred prov erbs and wise sayings that bear upon and explain the depreciation of trust values. A trust is an unnatural combination to accomplish an unnatural purpose. It is a violation of the unwritten law of trade and morals, as well as of the writ ten statutes. In the nature of things it cannot have enduring prosperity. For a brief time the affairs of a trust may seem prosperous, ouch an affair as the cordage trust may purchase half a dozen corrupt leaders and a dozen corrupt press writers of a so-called people's party, and may seil its watered stock at ligli figures. Such an affair as the whisky trust may rely upon a policy of coertion, and such affairs as the coal and sugar trusts upon imaoral alliances be tween the agencies that produce and the agencies that transport and distribute. But in all cases the value of the stocks and bonds depend upon the confidence of the people in the permanent prosperity of the trusts, and in all cases it has ap peared that the people have not confi dence in their permanent prosperity. It has appeared that the people are inimical to trusts, that they intend to suppress them by state laws and nation al laws. Such hostility of itself is suffi cient to frighteu capital from coming to the aid of the trusts in thfl hour of their peril. The trust system has had its day; it was a brief day, in which certain shrewd persons filched much money from the people, but it is a day that is nearing its close. Final Proof Notices.
