LIXCOLV , Neb. , Fob. 13. | Spooml to THE BBE.I The democratic Jubilee to bo held In this city next Monday mny possibly moan a great donl inoro th n the mon who nro workIng - Ing to make It a success care to tiuvo known. At the domonstrntlon to cclobrato tbo res- surrcctlon of the democratic party It U ox- pootoJ to start a Ronorul movement for nn extra session of the Icglslaturo with tlio ultlmato object of forming a coalition of the democratic and independent parlies of tlio stats. Most of the Independent members of the legislature find all of the democratic members nro expected to DO bore , ntid an ef fort will-bo made to come to sumo sort of nn understanding. A prominent state ofilclnl said today : "I bollcvo that nn understanding has boon ar rived at between the leaders of tbo demo cratic nnd Independent pirtlos. This under standing Is In the imturo of an agreement to unlto the strength of the two parties this coming fnll Tno domocrnts nsk for at least half of the presiden tial electors. In return for tlioso they are willing to couccdo to the independ ents the state ofllces nnd the United States senator. As a part of this understanding nn extra session of the legislature will bo called for the purpose of cementing tlio bonds be tween tbo two parties , A maximum ruto bill will bo passed and the state will bo reap- porlloncd Into legislative districts. The ne cessity for Mlchlimnl/tng the state will bo avoided by such n coalition. Tbo editorial In yesterday's Issue of the Farmers Alliance In favor of an extra session Is pointed to as an Indication that some such an agreement as outlined abovohas boon con summated. It Is believed by close observers of the situation that n conference will bo hold here next Monday In.which the matter of an extra .sohsion will bo thoroughly gone over. One of tlio main objects of the presence of so many distinguished democrats Is to bring a pressure upon tlio wavering ones who are still doubting the advisability of calling an extra session. An Independent' * Vlivr. A loading member of the Independent party was at tbo slate house today. The fact that ho was a member of the cnnto last winter gives his views on tbo suojoct of an extra session a xvclght that they might not other wise possess. Hoferring to the question of an extra session , ho said : 'There may bo an extra session. Tbat Is a matlor that rests entirely with Governor Boyd. But let mo toll you that If Governor Boyd expects the Independent majority In tbo legislature to rcassomblo and pass a max imum rate bill loss sweeping in Us provisions than the Newborry bill , ho Is most wofully mistaken. The independent majority in tbo last legislature passed a bill that embodied their views on the railroad question. Gov ernor Boyd saw lit to veto that bill. Wo are still holding tbo snmo views , and tbo agita tion In frwor of better freight rates belongs to us as a part of our campaign , \Vo would bo foolish us members of a political party to come togetbor In extra session and deliber ately destroy our ammunition before wo como within ran go of tbo ecomy. " ' Lending Lincoln Democrat * Opposed. With a vlow to ascertaining tbo sentiments of the loaders ot tlio democratic party heroin Lincoln upon the in at tor , THE BUB representative sentative- called upon snvoral of thorn and asked the question , "Aro you in favor of an extra sessional" Hon. N. S. Harwood answered emphati cally that ho for ono was not In favor of aa extra session. "An extra session , " said he. "is a aangorous political " weapon. I think it would , bo poor"politics and extremely innd- Yisable > . " Hon. .1. H. Ames replied : " 1 cannot see what could bo gained by an extra session and there might be much to loso. I think such a soMslon would bo inadvisable from a political standoolnt. " Hon. A. J. Sawyer was also opposed to an extra session. His views coincided with those expressed abovo. Other democrats ot'Liacoln hold or have hold to tbo same lows , and U is for tbo pur pose of bolstering up the faith of these doubting spints that so much slrets is placed upon the importance of ussombllng as many of the faithful as poaslblo in this city qext Monday. Important ( JiiuKtlon Itulxcil. An Important and far-reaching question , involving the constitutionality of tbo stuto banking law adopted in 18ST. was raised In the supreme court today by John L. Webster and Henry D. Estnbrook. The right of the supreme court to appoint receivers under the bunking act Is directly attacked. On August 20 , 18111. the State Banking Board directed Bank Examiner Garber to make an examina tion of tbo affairs of the Exchange bam : of Mllllcan. As a result of that examination Mr. GarDer reported that tbo bank bad boon conducting Its business In un unsafe and un authorized manner , and that the Interests of the depositors were being Jeopardized. Upon tlio finding of the examiner the attor ney ceneral made application to the supreme court for a roceivor. On August 29 a receiver was appointed nnd since that time tbo affairs of the bank have bocn practically wound up. Wltblii a few days , however , a claim for W.OOO was Hied by E. A. Blpelow & Co. Today Bicoloxv & Co.'s attorneys , Messrs. Webster and Estabrook , filed pipers attacking the Jurisdiction of the supreme court in the cuso of the State of Nebraska vs the Exchange bank of Miilican. They assort that tho.jromo ; court bus no power to make ni y ruling or finding under thb bankb' ? inw for the reason that that law confer * upon the court original Jurisdiction in matters not contemplated bv the constitu tion. The importance of the case will be readily soon when Ills stated that unaor tbo operations of tbo banking act In question nearly thirty ban us In the state have been closed up and placed In the hand ? of re ceivers appointed by the supreme court. IllR Dnmngn Casn In Court. The liability of a railroad company for damages to employes Injured while In Its service Is to bo again tested by a case fllod in tbo nupromo court today. It is the case of Frank G. ERgloston vs tbo Kansas City , Wyandotte & Nbrthwcttcrn llallroad com pany.

[ SpecialTele gram to TUB One. ] Political circles woru excited today over nn attack on General Algor's presidential candidacy. It came from Editor Dana of the Now York Sun , who was assistant secretary of war during Lincoln's administration. In an editorial ho stated that Uenural Algor had bocn dis charged from tbo service for being absent xvlthout leave on the recommendation of General Sborldnn. The recital glvan made It appear that General Algcr narrowly escaped a dishonorable - able discharge nnd tbat tbo circumstances in any ot'cnt prevent bis claim for the support of tbo veterans of the Grand Army of the liepublio organization. Detail * or thn Sun's Attack. The Sun editorial was ns follows : "What Is this about General Kussoll A. Algor of Michigan as a republican candidate for president on a platform of patriotism and pensions ! -Tho various biographies of General - oral Algcr dwell tnuro In detail upon the beginning of his military services ( ban on the end. Ho was major In the Second Michigan cavalry , General Sheridan's old regiment. October IU , 18H2 , ho was promoted to bo lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Michigan cavalry , subsequently ho was transferred to the Fifth Michigan cavalry nnd became Its colonel. "In September , ISiVl , Colonel Algor nnd his regiment were in the Shenandoah vnlloy taking part in Shoridan's great campaign against General Early. About the first of tbnt month Colonel Algor applied for ten days' leave of absence. The application wns disapproved and returned to his division commander , General Wesley Morritt , because of tbo nctlvo operations then In progress. Upon the return ol his application for leave , disapproved , Colonel Algcr loft bis regiment nnd went to Washington without leave. There ho procured a detail on court-martial duty in that city. "This fact was reported to Gonornl Mer- ritt , who reported It in turn to General Sheridan , who brought tbo matter to the nt . tention of'tho Wnr department , recommend ing that Colonel Algcr bo dishonorably dis charged from the service for being absent without leavu. In consequence ot that recom mendation from Philip H. Sheridan , Colonel Russell A. Alger wns discharged from the service September i-'O. 1804. Tbo record does not read that ho was 'dishonorably dis charged. ' The punishment recommended by General Sheridan was softened and ho was merely discharged. This incident terminated nls mllltarv career. 'After the war was over he procured In some way the brevet of brigadier soneral and major general of volunteers. These facts nro not staled in the recent biograph ical sketches relating to General Russell Absent Algcr.1 Ills Neighbors Are Satisfied. Michigan people whoso attention has been called to the matter olaim'to know nothing of it. They think that If there had boon anything wrong in General Algor's military career it would have been discovered before this. In their vioiv , the choice of bun for commander of the Grand Army of the Kcnublio would not have been mode if tboro bad been any thing in hi * army record that needed vindi cation. Some of tbo Michigan folu.s , how- over.soy privately that as General Alcor's candidacy was largely based on his soldier support , this assault on his military record will have to be explained , and if bo is unable to maotit it will undoubtedly hurt his pros pects of getting delegates to the Minneapolis convention. Harrison Will Havu Michigan. El wood L. Hatipo , postmaster , and Gcorgo H. Hopkins , collector of the port of Detroit , nro in tbo city on onicl.il business nnd state that the Michigan delegation to Minneapolis will not he solid for General Alger. In tact they do not believe that any sort of machin ation can prevent tbo state delegation Voting from the very lirst for President Harilson , ovoti should General Al er determine to make a contest for tbo delegation. In this vien of the situation Messrs. Hanco nnd Hopkins say thov nro supported by ox-Son- tttor Palmer of Michigan , at present presi dent of the World' ? fair and ono of the most popular and bestjinformed republicans of tbo wolverine state. If General AJgor does not Imvo his ; own local delegation , ho will not have very stable foundation upon which to build bis campaign for tno nomination. < ; i.viitAf. : : AI.CKK'.S IHMAI. : .
