These figures, are impressive and

friends or relatives do not finally
search them out are a very small per

An Associated press dispatch under
date of Washington, January 3, say3:
Some of the main features of ths
protocol between the United States
and Nicaragua referred to in President
Zolaya's message to his congress have
heon made known in recent press dis
patches from Managua. But there are
many other important features which
have not yet been disclosed, one of
these being the complete American
jurisdiction and the establishment of
American courts, civil and criminal,
throughout a zone six miles wide and
extending from ocean to ocean and in
cluding the proposed termini Grey
town on the Atlantic and Brito on the
Pacific. The entire policing of this
large tract also i3 placed in the hands
of the United States, so that it has the
power to proserve order and after that,
to Issue judicial process extending
throughout this zone. Besides the au
thority of American courts and of the
American police on the six-mile zone,
the chief features of the protocol are
in giving a lease of thjs tract to the
U. S. and at the same time giving
an American guarantee that the inde
pendence, sovereignty and integrity of
Nicaragua shall not bo disturbed by
the rights thus conferred upon the
United States. No exact information
is obtainable as to the price specified
in the protocol as payment to Nicara
gua for the grant to this, country. It
can be stated positively, however, that
this price is much less than was ex
pected when the negotiations -began
and that it Is considered by officials as
reasonable. It Is understood that at
the outset the view in Nicaragua was
that $:0,00D,000 would be a. proper
figure for the grant to this country and
about $5,000,000 for Costa Rica's grant.
But while there is no information as to
tho final sum in the protocol, it is
-known to be far short of tho above fig
ures. As tho cession, takes the form of
a perpetual lease, it is probable that
the protocol includes tho features of an
annual rent as payment. A protpcol

that with Nicaragua, in tlie matter of

Pardon of Ex-Treasurer Bartley
On tho 13th day of July last Gov
ernor Savage ordered the release of
Joseph S. Bartley, serving a twenty
year sentence in tho penitentiary for
ombczzlement of state funds, on a
sixty-day parole. In justification of
this act Governor Savago gavo to the
press the following statement:
I have given Bartley a sixty-day
furlough, but whether that time
will be extended remains to be
seen. I have imposed some pretty
hard requirements upon Bartley
and I shall impose some still
harder ones. If he does what I
ask him to do, I will let him out of
the penitentiary. But if he does
not, then he will have to go back.
I do not care to say just now what
these requirements will be, but I
am confident they will meet the
approval of the people of the state.
The impression naturally created by
this declaration, which Governor Sav
age repeated from time to time to al
lay i'iQ storm cf indignation, was that
as a condition of the parole he had ex
acted a pledge from Bartley to turn
into the state treasury a largo part
of tho embezzled money, anywhere
from $100,000 to $00,000. Bartley,
himself persistently denied .tnatt any
conditions whatever had been imposed
upon him. On the eve -of the assembling
of the republican state convention,
August 2$, Governor Savage admitted
that no conditions had been imposed
upon Bartley, but that he had. confi
dently expected him to make restitu
tion of a large part of the stolen funds,
in which, expectation he had been
grievously disappointed.
In the face of this explanation and
notwithstanding tho personal appeal
made on behalf of Bartley by Governor
Savage from the convention platform,
the delegates, by a vote of 998 to 168,
adopted the following resolution:
The republicans of Nebraska dis
claim for the' party r.ny sympathy
with custodians of public moneys
found guilty of the betrayal of sac
red trusts.1 Without impugning the
motives of 'the governor in any
case, we deprecate any exercise" of
executive clemency tending to
create the false impression that
the republican party is disposed to
condone the willful embezzlement
-of public funds under any circum
stances, and we request the im
mediate recall of the parole of
Joseph Bartley.
The prompt revocation of the parole
was interpreted as an admission on
the part of the governor that its Is
sue was a mistake. And now Governor
Savage has been persuaded that he
mado a mistake when he revoked the
parole and has issued an unconditional
pardon to the state treasury wrecker.
The labored plea put forth by the
governor to justify his course will not
change public sentiment so tersely ex
pressed by tho republican state con
vention. Nothing has happened since
Bartley was returned to prison to
make executive clemency any more
justifiable now than it was four
months ago. The petitions gotten up
and circulated by Bartley's paid at
torneys and signed for the most part
by his bondsmen and beneficiaries vere
on file with Governor Poynter and
Governor Dirtrich, hpth of whom posi
tively declined to be persuaded to ac
cede to tli 1 ppeal.
It was publicly charged and can be
proved that a large sum, said to h.ave
been over $30,000, was held out as an
