WASIMNOTOX Bunnvu OP TUB BBB , > 513 FOUIITBBST STIIBF.T , V WASin.voToy , U , 13. , .March 21. ) Ono of the shrewdest , holdost , nnd cor- Jaluly the most disreputable ot schemes \vhich the democratic national committee has Adopted In the proseeution at tholr "campaign education" has boon unearthed today. ! It is notbliiR loss than the use of the familiar 'green Roods game" and Its "confidential" Circular with enclosed ' 'clipping" ' to lojoct tariff reform literature Into the unwilling f > nd unsuspicious farmer of the northwest. J-'or several \voeks past the Now York papers have noted unusual activity in tbo distribution of alleged "green goods" from "Now York Ulty nnd vicinity. Attention was called only a few days no fet I'cckskill ot persons who are lloodlag the balls with circulars of this character. It ppoars that the states of Michigan , Wlscoti- ln and Minnesota , in which the elusive talnbow was chased during the last cam paign , have boon deluged with these docu ments , nil emanating from Now York. "Thousands of larmers hnvu received , during the last thrco weeks , a plain manilla envelope postmarked Now York ( Jitv nnd containing first the familiar nnd "conlldontial circular" expressing the desire of the writer to obtain ft shrewd ngont to handle "creon goods" nnd enclosing n newspaper clipping which the circular states will afford all the Information Desired and which Is self-explanatory. The Clipping Is the milk of the political coacoanut. Uow tlio < 3iiin In Worked. It Is a perfect fac slrailo of a clipping from fomo daily paper , corresponding in typo und ruling lu the ttmko up of every metropolitan Journal. On the outside is an' alleged spo ol til tram Washington , dalaa March 0 , and beaded "How the Treasury Is Hobbod. " After ti detailed Interview with General Uosocruns , the democratic register of the treasury , In which ho stntos that the government cannot ( protect Itself against counterfoil greenbacks and that the counterfeiters nro evidently packed in their nefarious work by some per- ion high in government favor nnd that It is u proven fact that thov nro in collusion with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing this campaign document proceeds thus : , "Thousands of dollars of this spurious usuu baa been used by the republican party to further tholr interests on election days , , and it is positively assorted that ofllcials high In government favor have been sending these ( purious greenbacks to their friends to bo distributed on election day , " ' Tno excited grar.gor who has been reading this with much interest now turns it ever ftnd on the back of the alleged clipping finds A double-leaded tariff reform editorial , en titled "No Load in that Barrel , " and devoted to showing that , 'Tho poor persecuted farmer fins finally learned to laugh at 'those xvar tariff sophistries ; " thatinshort "tho farmer bays tbo irroater part of this Iniquitous bur den , and has at last como to know iu" \Vlmt Investigation Shown. Investigation at the Postofllco department this ovonlnc showed that the political sen tences quoted in tbo alleged "green goods" dlrculnrs nro additions which nro not found In any of the alleged newspaper slips cap- lured by any of tno postofllco inspectors in their raids on genuine "green Roods" mon par to nny of the newspaper clippings captured by them show a tariff reform edi torial or a Bound money editorial , as Is the case in the newspaper clippings brought out In the northwest by these tariff reformers. ' fhls Is hero considered very good corrobor ative ovldtmco that the entire green goods Circular is merely u political trick. Attuckg on I'ulillo Men. Another editorial makes an attack upon Senators Allison and John Sherman as possi ble candidates for the presidency. The best evidence of how carefully this textbook in the campaign of "education" is prepared is fchown by tbo fact that where circulars are cent to German farmers tlio political edi torial on the rear of the alleged clipping Is devoted to the success with which the democracy has handled the financial ques tion and n denunciation of the late silver bill purchase passed by the last congress as tend ing to depreciate the value of investments in ravings luniks. The ingenuity of this schema IB worthy of the ablest democrat. Experience has taught that nothing Is moro difficult than to make the western farmer road tbo nvorago congressional speech on the tariff. By this Oliver device , the potions to whom these sealed envelopes are sent nt once become interested in the subject. Their at tention Is nttrncted.-and while they are seek ing Information as to "green goods" methods they are unconsciously absorbing sound dom- Ourutlo doctrine. The extent to which the ecliomo has boon worked lately shows that there is largo money as welt as an able di recting political mind behind it. It is hinted that several heavy New iTorit Importers are Interested in this novel method of promulgat ing free trade doctrines. Ono thing is cer tain , cither the democratic national committee - too are accomplished "green goods" men or the "Rretm goods" mon are ardent tariff re formers. After Hill' * Sculp. It Is said on the authority of a western congressman who has been very intimate \vilh Senator Hill that the passage of a free fcllvor bill by the house next week will have fcs au Important sequel the retirement of Hill as a presidential candidate. For many weeks efforts have been made to draw Hill out on his attitude toward , the silver ques tion , but these have been In vain. Ho has carefully avoided the subject during the southern trip. It now appears that while Mr. Hill has carefully avoided the question in public ho has told his friends in private that he was strongly opposed to the Bland bill and to any ether measure looking toward tbo'frco coinage of silver , ana should the house puss such a bill bo would not care to bo the candidate of the party. This statement was made Dy a western congressman of much Influence in the bouso today : "As I was about to leave the city lor a western trip recently I was called upon by ono of the gentlemen who Is recognized i having charge of Mr. Hill's Interests , lie know mo to bo favorable to silver , and iilso to bo favorable to Hill's nomination to the presidency , and bo was acstrous of reconciling a conflict ou these two points. Up to that tlmo 1 had not known ttioro was , a conflict , for ray advocacy of Hill was duo L to the belief that hofavorcd ; n free silver bill. But the gentleman argued to mo at much ongth as to the danger to the party in passIng - Ing n silver bill , and finally told mo direct that ho was authorized to say that if the democratic house of representatives passed o free silver bill , Mr. Hill didnotcaruto bo the candidate of the party. I replied that If this woto true the sooner Mr. Hill dot out nf the way the better , tiince then I have been amused nt tbo many efforts to draw out an expression from Hill , in vlow of the ex pression I had already received , 1 am ittis- tied that Mr , Hill used to bo u free coinage man , but ha has given way to the tremendous deus influence of tbo money Interest * In Now York , nnd now looks at the free silver bill as Imperiling the election of the democratic presidential c&adldato. " The Cleveland democrats hero say that iThlle Mr. Hill Is doing all in bit power to defeat the adoption of a free coinage bill In the house , ha is 10 lully determined to prevent - vent Cleveland's nomination that ho would prefer to accept a losing canvass rather than nee it go to bis hated rival. In tbo face of this Hill has staled , positively that he doou cot want luenomlnaUon If a free silver bill goea through the house.

The reading of several pages of ac cumulated minutes was dispensed with , and a communication fr : m Superintendent Fitz- patrlck reporting adversely on the petition of Mr. Worcester for permission to announce in the schools an entertainment to bo given by him , was temporarily sidetracked on motion at Mr. Martin , in order to at once lake up the question of a Central school slto. Despite the protest of Mr. Morrison , who wanted to hoar a report of the last mooting of the committee of the whole before again going Into the committee session , the board decided to bavo it out then and there , and the eleven tramped sturdily into the committee - mittoo room. Tno crowd of interested outsiders waltod patiently for sixty long minutes , when the committal lloatod out again. Mr. Points reported that bo bad boon in structed by the committee to report in favor of purchasing the Johnson tract , 184x140 , at Twenty-second and Dodge streets , ottered by the Byron Hood company for $33,000.

C. E. Babcock wanted the communication placoa on file , as tUoro would bo kicks ad Inllnltum if such complaints were consid ered. ered.Mr. Mr. Morrison objected and demanded that it bo considered. Ho thought that tbo Homo company should bo given u show and they should bo given ah equal coanco with the board companies. Mr. Coryell stated that the Homo company had not been discriminated against because it was a non-board company. Ho know that it was carrying several policies on the school buildings , but what percentage of the whole it was ho could not say. Mr. Babcock defended the action of tbo finance com mil too In placing the insurance. Mr. Gibson wanted tbo matter referred tea a special committee ot three.

Morenrty by tlio .Iiiry. Yesterday will bo marked with n rod Mono In the calendars of Omaha attorneys. It Is doubtful if over ono court day contained in its proceedings moro of Interest to the bar. Under ordinary circumstances , In the trial ot criminal cnuso , If eltbor party gees to lall It Is tha prisoner nt the bar and not the at torney who defends. This order of thlnes , however , was reversed yesterday lit the trial of the case of the state against Edward R Morcarty , which was on trial before Judga Davis. Moroarty went out Into the light of day , n free man , while his nttornoyn , W. J. Clalr and Silas Cobb , wontovcr to the county baslllo , thcro to do tlmo and servo out tha sentence Imposed by .Uldgo Scott. Yesterday afternoon , Just as the train was departing for the north with Judge Scott aboard , on his way to Burt county , where ho is uow holding the regular March term of court , ono of the attorneys for Clalr and Cobb presented the bill of exceptions In the con tempt caso. Tha ] udgo smiled , looked at the papers , mid said ho would road thorn when ho hod lolsuro. The ether attorneys were equally busy preparing documents for the supreme court and a writ of habeas corpus to bo presented for Judga Irvine's considera tion. Subsequent proceedings in the case go to show that no matter how determined ono judRO may bo that Urn sentence of tha court shall bo executed In the extreme lottur of Its dollvoranco , another may interfere and the punishment may bo deterred if not averted. While Attorneys Clalr and Cobb wont to jail at the behest of Judge Scott , they were re leased by direction of the supreme court and are nowcomparatively Iroo men. It is an oxcitlug lalo , comprising sensa tional features in every detail enough to furnish material for u long continued story. And the end thereof is not. TO KIKP OUT OF .TAIL. Attorneys Clitlr ami Colili Wrestle AVltli u very Determined Court. It has been been many days slnco court room No. 1 in tbo court house contained ns largo a crowd of Interested spectators ns it did this morning. Tlicro wcro Judges , law yers , witnesses and the common people who tilled the benches and occupied the standing room in the aisles and against the walls. Some of the parties who were there had bus iness to transact with the court , but moro of them were present to watch the outcome of the contempt case against Attorneys Cobb and Clalr Judges Davis and Scott occupied the bench , while Cleric Moores road the journal as usual. To the majority ot the people comprising and composing the aggregation' the journal proved an interesting document , but Cnarlos Oftutt , Judge Estnllo and W. D. McHugh had other liU to fry. During the time tboy busied themselves covering pages of legal cap paper. The clerk read the entry tnauo last Satur day : Defendants In open court state that they are each responsible for tlio matter stated In the first count of the motion to quash the In dictment In the case of the statu of Nebraska uualnst Edward F. Moroarty , nml that they Ui.ow that the mutters therein constituted no ground for quashing the said Indictment ; thereupon tlio court save the defendants an opportunity to strike out the first count ot said motion , to which they ouch said In open court that thuv would not do BO. Tlio matter In said first count bollix that the charge given to the grand jury , which found the in dictment heroin , by Hon. C. U. Scott , judge , was inflammatory und prejudicial In this , that said charge aroused the prejudice of Huld grand jury , so that they were not fair und 1m- partliu grand jurors. "Tho defendants nro therefore adjudged lo bo In contempt of court and they are each ad judged to pay a line of ? - ' . " > and bo Imprisoned In tlio county Jail for the period of twenty- four hours , imprisonment to commence when the case now on trial In this court. In which they arc attorneys , shall have boon closed.1 Clnlmoil Tliero Had Keen u Mistake. Mr. Offutt was upon his foot In an instant. With a "Please the court" ho said that tbero was a mistake in thu contempt proceedings. The two lawyers , Cobb and Clair , ho said , did not state to the court in their motion that tboy know that tha motion tiled did not atuto grounds lor quashing the indictment ; that tbo journal entry did not state the facts ns they had occurred. Mr. Offutt was con fident that a grave mistake bad been made , and asked to bavo it corrected before the journal was signed. A number of affidavits of parties who were in tbo court room last Saturday were read , to show- that the journal entry did not correspond spend with the facts. Judge Scott Elated that when the case was called last Saturday ho hold in his hand the motion filed by Clalr and Cobb. Ho asked both of tbo gentlemen if they were the authors of the motion to quash the Indict ment , to which they replied that they wcro. They also stilted in open court that they made no claims that the statutes made nny provision far filing such a motion , but that they wanted lo take every advantage for the interest of their client. Offutt thought that bis clients bad honest and honorable convictions when tboy filed the motion. Judge Scott presumed that they aid , but the motion was a slur , not aimed at him par ticularly , but at the bench. Wanted to Change the Journal , Offutt asked that the objectionable words bo stricken from the journal. Judge Scott remarked to the clerk , "you may Insert these words : 'Tno defendants assert that they made no claim that there was any statute authorizing the filing of tbo motion , ' " "But , " said Mr. Offutt , "Jet the record show that they said that they did not kpow that there was any statute preventing thorn from filing such a motion , " "Well then , " added Judge Scott , "you can bavo it that way. Now , " continued the Judge , "if you desire to taka any othur steps youhndbottor | do so at once , as I go to Burt county at 1 o'clock this afternoon.1' Made Home Motions. "Wo file a motion for a now trial , " said Mr. Offutt , advancing towards the bench. "And you can consider tbo motion over ruled. " answered Judjia Scott. "Wo alio desire to lilo an affidavit setting forth your charge to the grand jury , " con tinued Mr. Offutt. "You can consider that tiled , " answered Judge Scott , "and I want to say to you gen tlemen that It U not my purpose In thin or any other case to acroon any action of the court. The cliarpo to the grand Jury was de livered attor consultation and maiuro delib eration. It Is my doslro that that charpa shall bo before tbo court of last resort. I nm willing to stand upon that charge and if I had it to do over again , tbo charge would bo moro pointed. So there , gentlemen. " Don't Monkey With the Stenographer. During the tlmo that Judge Scott was talking , Mr. Clair bad walked ever to and was talking with the official stenographer. Judge Scott noticed tbo move and said : " What are you saying , siri That stenographer U AU officer of the court and does not belong to you. " , . Mr. Clalr explained that ho was talking about outside matters. Mr. Offutt banded up a bill of exceptions with the remark : "I suppojo wo can bavo this signed at once I" In reply Judco Scott added : "It is uow 10 o'clock and I loavu for Hurt county at I o'clock Ibis afternoon. It would bo Im possible tor one to examine the papers. " Kefusuil u ICequuit lor Ktuy 1'roruoillngt. Mr. Offutt asked for un order granting a stay of proceedings and In addition thereto , ajuod the court to fix the bonds. "No sir , they can't got that , " answered Judge Scott. "If the gentlemen want to got before the supreme court thov must not go with any papers o try i g a slur ou their face. They must airiUo out of tnolr motion the coniVt rfi which they stnto that the charge to the tfrUtid Jury was In flammatory. " ifM Mr. Offutt wanted to know when the order of the court would bo executed. "Whon this trial U concluded , " promptly answered Judge Scott , t , "When you roturnl" asked Mr. OfTutt. "No , " answered the Judge , "tho sheriff will execute the order Twhun the jury ro- tiros. " , "Than I shall press my motion for a now trial , " Interceded Mr. Oftutt. "Then your motion U overruled , " returned Judge Scott , "and your clients will go to jail unless the matter is fixed up before mo or some ether Judgo. " ' ' Mr. OfTutt again made a motion , which was for n stay of proceedings. This motion was as promptly overruled lU the preceding ones. The Judge then informed the attornovs that ho would lav no obstacle In their way and that they could take the nntUir Into the supreme - promo court ns soon ns they pleased. Tried Another I'lnn. Mr. Offut ttion switched. Ho filed n motion to show that the court bad no jurisdiction and that ho imposed the sentence and the line Illoffally. "I will hear you upon that point , " rotorlod Judco Scott , "But whorol" asked Mr. Offutt. "You can follow rae lo IJurt county. " nnswcrodtno Judge , "and I will treat you' In n royal manner. " Mr. Offutt , not having mot with the suc cess ho contemplated , .ludgo Kstollo took n bund niul filed n motion stating that the finding - ing of the court was contrary to the law nnd the evidence ; that it wits In abuse of the Ju dicial power of the bench and that it was un fair and partial. This motion , lllto several others which had preceded It , was overruled. ( lot Hark In Mr. Morenrtj-'n Cmc. The lawyer * , having exhausted thorn- solves , withdraw and the arguments In the cnso of the state against Moroarty wcro coin- moncitd. Mr. Cobb stated that ho wanted to objuct to tlio proceedings had In open court , ns cbov tnlilht influence the minds of the jurors , who had sat as silent witnesses. Judge Duvis overruled the objection , after which Mr. Clobb objected again. Ho thought that Judge Scott's comments in the cnargo to the grand jury had prejudiced the jury in the Morcarly case. This objection was over ruled. CI.IINT : Oncer Turn Tulicm by tlio Trot-ceding * In the Crlnilniil Court , At 3 o'clock when court convened County Attorney Mrhonoy presented his closing argument In the case against Moroarty , who was charged with having solicited n bribe ot 2,200 from C. E. Squires for getting au $3,000 swooping bill through the council. This argument consumed twenty minutes and then followed the charge to the jury , after which the twelve mon rotlred to medi tate nnd deliberate. Meditating and deliberating orating they remained for just thlrty-livo minutes and then returned to tha court room. The room was densely packed with spec tators. The verdict was passed up to Clerk Mooros , who road : " * Vp , the Jury dulv impaneled " paneled m the case or tlie "Stato against. Edward - . ward F. Moroarty , dollndjlho defendant not guilty. " , , A silence that was painful filled tbo room , but It was broken by | "AIr. Morcarty , wnn. bead up , gathered himself upon his foot and stopping iu front of tha-Jury box started in by say Ing : "Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the Jury , I desire- " ' > "Hold on there , Mr. Moroarty. What nro you doing ! " asked Judge Davis. "You nro a lawyer and ought to knpw hotter than that. That jury has simply. , discharged its duty and Is not entitled to any thanks from you. " Most men would have been crestfallen , but Moroarty was not. Ho smiled and turned around to shakd'lfands with some of his admirers. > u That closed all of tholabenos in the Moro arty case and some of itbo spectators filed out , while others bad auj , jdea that there was fun ahead and waited , j , , t llo Couldn't illnirjlio Slierltr. Sheriff Bennett , who had been instructed to arrest Clalr and Cobb as soon'ns the Muro- arty case closed , was on hand to discharge h's duty. Ho stopped up to tbo young legal lights und informed them that they were his prisoners , nt fho same time Inviting them to accompany him to tbo Douglas county jail. They hung back 'for ' n moment and then sprang this bluff upon tbo sheriff : "To George A. Bennett , sheriff of Douglas county , Nebraska : You nro hereby nottiiod that the order entered in the case of the state of Nobraslca against W. J. Clalr nnd ' Silos Cobb , finding thorn guilty of coutempt of court and sentencing them to imprison ment therefor , was made and entered with out authority of law- and that tha court making the sumo was without Jurisdiction ; that tno said order Is utterly void and constitutes no authority to you as such sheriff to take'or keep .said W. J. Clalr and Silas Cobb In custody and Imprisonment. "You are tmreby notified that if you take or keep said W. .1. Clair and Silas Coob into custody or imprisonment under said order , such Imprisonment will bo illegal and unlaw ful , and that you , as such sheriff , and your bondsmen will bo hold liable in damages for such unlawful imprisonment. " Sheriff Bennett whispered to Judge Davis and tbo Judge answered , "I have nothing to do with the caso. " Just then Sheriff Bennett advanced to wards Cobb , who asked : "Sheriff , do you arrest moi" "This court is not in session now , " sug gested Judge Davis as ho loft the bench. "Of course I arrest you , " said Sheriff Bennett in reply to Mr. Cobb's question. Smllml nnd Went to Jail. That settled It , and the two lawyers fol lowed the sheriff down the stairs , out through the court yard and up into the county jail. There was a sound of iioys turning in heavy locks , the grated doors swung back , ami as the young man passed into tbo gloomy corridor of the jail they smiled , but tboy did not abandon bopo , for their attorneys on the outside were working like beavers. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus bad been prepared and was being considered bv Judge Irvine. Tbo writ Was issued to Sheriff Bennett and recited that Clair and Cobp were attorneys and members of the bar of Douglas county , that tboy were unlawfully deprived of tholr liberty , that they had not committed any crime , that tbo warrant of commitment was not Issued out of any court having acquired jurisdiction. The only cause for the arrou and detention of .the rotators was by an order made by C. H. Scott , one of tbo Judges of tbo district court of Douglas county , that tbo said Judge Scott had no jurisdiction whatever o make the order or ' .any other order ; that said order was not IUJHP ) In nny cause or action pondlnc ; \ \ \ \ \ \ said order was not made In nny fmmmafyjr > rocecding wherein the relaters worq served with any process whatever to appear before said court or to show rauso why snld rotators should not bo dealt with for contempt or why said order should not do mado. The petition further sots forth that no pro cess , warrant or citation ot nny kind what soever hud boon served upon the rotators ; that the rolnlors had not boon glvori an op portunity to appear and nnswcr nny charge made against thorn nnd that said urdor was not made by reason of nny act of the relaters - lators or any alleged contempt , committed In the presence of tbo court , nor was It made for any dlsordnrly , contomptous or Insolent bohnvlor towards the court. I'roni Omitlm to Lincoln , Judge Irvine patiently listonbd to the read ing of the petition and the nrgumont.s that wore rondo by the attorneys for Olalr and Cobb.
