'fhursday. January 14 , 1904. Attorney Gadd , we understand , lias filed a protest \vith the city authori ties , against paying for the lots recently purchased of the county. Mr. Gadd contends that the vote taken in 1 88 , on selhng the county lots was defeated and that the board hall no authority to cll an ) ' of them. - - - - A meeting of tlw rcpublican state central committce has bcen called for January 20 , to determine - mine the date of thc state con- vention. The olue tion of whcther one or two conventions will be held will he decided at this meeting. Chairman H. C. 14indsay is crcllited WiUl favoring - ing one cOn\'ention. The law of ebraska provides that the doors of all public buildings - ings shall be made to open out- ward. This includes churches , schoolhouses , lodge rooms , opera houses , etc. Thc city and coun , : ty officials should see that the law providing proper cscapes in case of fire is complied with. Some of these places have solid doors and several of the outside doors open inward. Governor Mickey has definitely - ly refused to txtend cxccutive clemency to Frcd Reno of Sheridan - dan county , sentcnced to thc penitentiary for sending objcct- ionable mattcr through the mails. George Coil of Rushville , convicted - victed of shooting enc , Ryan , a sheep herder. during the range troubles between sheep and cattle - tle ranchers about four years ago. has applied to the governor for a pardon and h is case wi11 be thoroughly gone over. He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment - ment an has served about a thud of that tune. I - - - - W. P. Kemp , president of the . Afro-American Abraham Lincoln Hepublican club , of 14incoln , vice president of the state league of republican clubs , and for six ycars a trusted cmployee of the I gtate central committec ig an applicant for the appointment as bailiff of thc suprcmc court. In addition to the effcctivc worlc Mr. Kcmp has donc in Ne raska , he has sef\'cd thc national com- mitte , at Washington. and cer- tainl. ) ' has earncd this position , or any other , if part ) ' sCf\'ice should be taken into consideration - tion in disposing of such appoint- ments.

" The court held that Dietrich was not senator until he took the oath of omce in December. IlJOl. 'l'he chargcs agaiust him in the Hastings post office were for acts prior to that llate and hence he was not liable under the section of the IJnited States Statutcs relatiug to Acts of U. S. Senators. 'l'he indictment against Senator - , tor Dietrich for rceiving : money from the go\'ernment for rent on the post oOice building as U. S. Sentor was annulled hy motiou of Attorncy Summers. lIe stated - ed that the Seuator had deeded the property to his daughter on or about the lirst of December , 1901 , and since that date she had collected the rent and if Mr. Dietrich was not Senator until he took the oath of office he had no case against him. 'fhe case against l.'isher. the Hastings post master , was dismissed - missed by the district attorney for thc same reason. It is to be regretted that the situation was such that thc case had to be determined - termined 011 technica1ities rathcr than a full investigation. The public would havc been better satisfied had the casc been determined - termined on evidence. But Mr. Dietrich's attorney Cowin. who is as able as the state affords held that the court could ha\'e done nothing but dismiss the case after thc state's evidence was in and there would have been no opportunity for Ius client to produce his evidence in rebuttal , and without both sides heing produccd in court his Glient would been at a disadvant- Llge in the eyes of the public , and be chose what he considcred as the wisest coursc , notwithstanding - ing the Senator's itatement that he would take no ach'antage of technicalities. As the matter endcd both I the District Attorney - ney Summers , as well as Senator Dietrich. arc at a disadvantage in the public view. . l'I''s < ' ( ; Hay Itl'OgruUI ' 1'he Political Equality Cluh will hold its January mceting at t he home of Clara A.

In illustration of this I will here gi\'c an instance among the many that have come under my own obsen'ation.

When our work wag going on in good shape some one moved that we send fraternal greetings to the other convention : 1'he motion was unanimously agrced to and the greetings were carried over by two of our best speakers. In a short time their convention responded - sponded to our greeting by scnd- ing two men who had been slaves but wl1\ had been freed by that immortal document the Emancipation - pation Proclamation.
