(
Uxcoi.3 , Neb. , Juno 0. [ Special to Tun
,1r.B. ] Now that the strain Is relaxed Jaws
'u-o beginning to wag very freely and some
iif the "Inside" facts are beginning to leak
'Mil from the camp of the rallroad-pcnlten-
. 'Iary-statohouso combine , and some very
.ntcrcstliiE features are beginning to bo
( llscloscd. For Instance , who is thcro who
ltd not suppose that Judge M. U Hayward
f Nebraska City was retained by Humphrey
j'o defend him bccauso ho was a friend of
mho Impeached commissioner of lands and
/buildings / and had boon in his confidence for
Jsomo tlmo ? But such was not the fact , and
t Is now alleged that Humphrey and Hay-
were total strangers until the railroads -
roads had made up their pool , hired their
'lawyers and assigned Hayward to this part
ot the defense , and they knew nothing about
'each other until that time. As is well
known , Hayward has been the recognized
. attorney of the B. & M. at Nebraska City
for years.
It Is stated that John L. Webster of
'
Omaha was spilled So.OOO in advance of tak-
'ing up the trial of the case and that the
money was paid out of a pot raised by con-
trlbutions from each road in the stato.
. . The activity of the railroads in behalf of
the Impeached members of the State Board
'of Transportation did not end here , but
iCaplain Ed Murlln , attorney for the respondents -
onts as well as for the Elkhorn at Superior ,
' was thrown bodily into the field , and to him
-Avas assigned the work of hustling up wit-
jnesses , and coaching them on points where
, Mio evidence for the defense was lacking.
i Where tlio Dorcitns Came In.
t John Dorgan and bin notorious brother
Bill arc said to have chipped in very liber
i ally , and their contribution went toward the
payment of Joseph H. Webster and that
other Llncolnlto , Mr. Atkinson , whoso
efforts In behalf of the respondents were
/designed / to also pave the way for the acquit-
| tul o.f the Indicted penitentiary boss.
0 transpired that when the legislature
Iwns in session , and it came tlmo to present
lllgures showing the amount that would bo
jrcqulrcd to complete thccell house , in order
that- the sum miclit bo placed in the up-
propriation bill , Dorgan called to his assistance -
, -tanco the services of Sidney Smith , an
Omaha architect who was sent down here
. a while betoro to servo a term for forgery ,
; and from him secured an estimate of what
/ would bo necessary. It is stated that
'Smith was subsequently called on again ,
| ust about the time the impeachment trial
same on , to prepare figures of the proper
' cost of the cell house , and that his instruc-
, Ions were to arrange them as to call for the
expenditure of almost if not quite all of the
HO.OOO appropriated for that purpose by tlio
legislature of Ib'Jl.
Value uf Convict Labor.
It Is positively asserted that architects
called by the defense rolled largely In tholr
testimony on this stock of figures , tho.com-
pilation of which has occupied the greater
part of Smith's time since ho has been in
tlio'penitcntiary. It is supposed that ilndor
, Dcrgan's direction the estimate for the completion -
plotion of the cell house was sufficiently
largo to make that worthy whole on his contribution -
' tribution to the fund for the defense of the
political soiled doves. Smith's tlmo will bo
up ina fow'months , and it is a sicnillcant
i' fact that ho proposes to continue in Dor-
gan's employ oven after that time.
It has leaked out during the last few days
that it was never the intention of the la-
mentcd and lately departed Mr. Moshcr
( lamented because other people's money
departed with him ) to pay out the cold cash
for the eighty cells that his contract required -
quired him to place in the new cell house ,
but that thcro was n story in connection
with the expenditure of that $500 on the
prison junketing trip that neither ho nor any
of the members of the party felt called upon
to place before the public. It was n very
pretty little scheme that was evolved in the
perniciously active brain that transacted its
dally business in Mr. Moshcr's noggin , and
'what ho intended to do with the help of the
friendly Board of Public Lands and Build-
f Ings was simply this got those cells built
without having to "pay for thorn himself , and
at the same time make the people of the
Ijtato think that the money came out of his
V'hcn plethoric pocket.
lj Hiihstuiieo of the Scheme.
' Tncro are to bo ! ! 20 cells in the now cell
Blouse , and Moshcr figured that If ho could
\nanlpulato the thing properly , with tlio con-
( ilvanco of the board , ho could got a jail
'Wilding firm to so arrange its bid for the 2-10
V ; clls that the state would have to put in that
f.ho other eighty would bo put in for him at
Bvho same time and the firm would bo satis-
fe cd with what the state would pay , In con-
i < tidcratlon of his having secured the contract
for them. In other words , he oxpccctcd to 1
work It so that the state In paying for the >
1 " 40 cells would also pay for the eighty for
'which ho was required by his contract to
I settle.
' All this ho hoped to do with the help ol
I the mon whose actions In playing into his
I hands in pursuance of this plan the majority
I of the supreme court has said to bo perfectly
I legitimate , but "injudicious" and "unwise. "
I The trip was taken'with this end in view ,
I and it is stated on direct authority that two
I of the jail building firms before whom the
I proposition laid agreed to the terms sot
I forth , and promised that If the contract was
I awarded to them they would do their utmost
I to assist the prison contractor and his official
I confederates lu giving the state the hot eiul
I of the poker ,
I Hiuv Ilrenkers Ahend.
1 The only reason the plan was not carricc
I out was because the precious quartet sa\\
I breakers ahead at the very beginning of tlu
I winter session of the' lawmakers , Almos
I the first thing that was done was to stan
I the Investigation of the Board of Ptiblii
I Lands and Buildings In connection with tin

I ilara to go ahead with their scheme. ' Thl :
I Is the reason that the work has been at i
I standstill for several mouths , and the eel
I house Is still barren of oven the suspicion o
I n coll.
I Some of the mathematicians of the capita
I city nro trying to figure out just what th
I decision of the court means ; whether It i
| that a (40,000 cell house can bo built for fJO ,
J 000 , or whether It taites $40,000 to build i
t'JO.OOO cell house. This is the only point 01
I which any doubt is expressed , as the Icgll

I particularly noticeable , however , as it Is s
prevalent in certain quarters just now , Th
suggestion was heard that it would bo i
good idea to run Judge Hayward for th
vacancy that will occur on the bum-cm
bench this fall , and U was immediately endorsed
dorsed by the trio , whoso reputations hav
emerged white as mud from an immersion i
supreme court Ink.
Anything to Itout Mnxwrll.
From this tlmo on , It will bo "anything t
beat Maxwell , " but it must bo umicrstoo
that nil of the opposition will bo strictly c
the quiet , ns the railroad managers cautio
It , fearing that the openly attempted dofca
of the vt'iicrablp chief justice , following th
acquittal of the Impeached officials , woul
ccrta * Aly bo too much for oven the long sui
faring republicans of Nebraska
to stand , j
promlio to this effect was ouo of the txmd
tlons Imposed by the railroads n week ape
when they throw tholr whole weight into
the impeached end of the scale , and it has
had the effect of subduing the revengeful
officials and their friends very materially , as
they now do their cussing under their breath
and nro devoting their energies to accom
plish the defeat of the chief justice by under
handed work and stratagem , rather than by
open and avowed warfare.
Judging from the 'feeling that existed
among the ex-respondents , now and prior to
their acquittal , General Lccso was the only
ono of their number whom they really
wished to see convicted. Tom Bcnton , who
essayed to speak for the whole crowd , has
boldly asserted time and again , "that It
would bo all the satisfaction they wanted"
If they could have only stuck lxeso : , as ho ,
in their estimation , was tbu only guilty ono
among their number.
I.ccsn Did Not 1'loiid the Unity Act.
General T-oeso , to his credit may bo said ,
did not pattern at all after Hcnton , in plead
ing the question of Jurisdiction before the
impeachment court , or by throwing every
obstacle In the way of n trial , as the ex-
auditor has done ; but on the other hand
Lccso waived the question of Jurisdiction
and insisted that ho be given an opportunity
to produce In open court the receipts and
vouchers that ho had to show for every
cent of money paid out by him ,
A very near friend of the
ox-attorney general said that the
much talked of opinion obtained and paid
for by Mosher , and which , it has been al
leged was obtained from Lccso while ho
was in office , was In reality obtained from
ono Joseph W. Edgortonwho aspired , as the
readers of Tun Bun will remember , with
considerable hankering after a judicial posi
tion about a year and u half ago , and that
Edgcrton instead of Lecso received a check
In payment for the service of preparing and
writing the opinion.
The next thing In order in the way of a
promised respite from labor for the acquit
ted and overworked officials , so rumor says ,
will bo a visit to I.aporto , Tex. , whore they
have nut In so much of their precious time
durinc the past two years. On this junket
they will bo accompanied by Tom Benton ,
"ex-auditor ; John M. Thaycr , cx-govcrnor ,
and Hon. IZ , H. Grecr of Kearney. It might
bo well to mention in connection with this
proposed visit-to T aporto that the land com
pany owning the townslto Is made up prin
cipally of state officials , superintendents of
state institutions and employes therein.
The sentiment is now expressed that the
cup of Joy of the hilarious ones would not bo
full and running over until Moshcr's ac
qulttal was assured , but this will not belong
long delayed if the reports of the mission
arics who have been sent to Omaha of late
are to bo believed. All of them who have
returned within the past few days do not
hesitate to say that the bank wrecking
associate of the gang will soon be set free.
Tom Miijors Hole * the Itoost.
Governor Crounse leaves In a few days for
Chicago , and Lieutenant Governor Majors
will assume the gubernatorial reins in his
absence. There are various rumors afloat as
to the future intentions of the governor ,
An intimate friend says that it will prob
ably bo two or thrco months before the ex
ecutive returns to the capital , and that he is
seriously contemplating a European trip.
Another friend who often haunts the
executive olllce took it upon himself to say
that the governor was wearing a 'heavy fit of
disgust , and that stranger things had hap
pened than for the people of the state to
wake up homo morning and learn that a
governor had resigned. When asked If he
had heard of the European trip , he said that
ho would not bo surprised if the governor
did something of the kind to allow himself
to cool oft' , in case ho did not immediately
declare himself by a resignation.
Still another said that it would bo
eminently fitting , in view of the turn affairs
had taken , to have a man cf Majors' stamp
in the governor's chair so as to have the
administration in perfect harmony with tlio
ringstors and "run 'or wide open. "
About that Prediction.
In the midst of the jubilation among the
acquitted officials and their thirsty backers ,
some asked "How about Lambortson's prc-
diction'i" and a chorus yelled , "It won't
amount to a d n. " An onlooker replied.
"Wait till fall. " and was promptly frowned
into silence. Hero is the prediction as sub
mitted in court oy the attorney for the
prosecution in his closing argument :
' If thocourtof llnil rp--ort , the most nugust
tribunal In the state by reason of Us dignity ,
learning and Integrity , shall decide that It was
becoming for the lloml : of Public Lands and
HulldliigM to appoint us Its : iK < mt and Miperln-
Ipndvnt William II. Dorian , iho representative
of every Interest aclverso lo the state ; that it
was proper to pay him and his principal it per
day for the labor of convicts when all other
lessees of convict labor wore payinit but 40
cunts per day ; that It was In the llnu uf duty
for the board to expend or authorise thu ex
penditure of $700 , appropriated to build a cell
house , for a tour of Inspection of state prl.-ons
and to send dulegatcs to u prison I'onKressjtliat

It Is known that this Is the homo of the old
state liouso parasites and strikers , but it
must not bo understood that all of the people
of this city are In sympathy with the thrco
officials and their allies. There are just as
pure men hero as live upon the broad prairies
of the agricultural districts of the state , but
the Lincoln air is so tainted
with political corruption that it
Is difficult for them to throw off the
influence and declare upon what platform
they stand , though there are any number
this morning who have no hesitancy in say
ing that notwithstanding the verdict of the
majority of the court , if the trial could have
been hold in any other place than here , the
verdict would have been guilty ns charged.
Men who have given the findings of the
court mature consideration unhesitatingly
say that the verdict rendered by Judges
Norval and Post is not ono that can afford
Messrs. Hastings , Humphrey and Allen any
great amount o.f satisfaction , fpr they point
to the fact that thcso two judges have vir
tually decided In favor of conviction , though
they have condoned the acts of the officials
by holding that they had no knowledge of
the stealings and the looting of the public
treasury. Had Chief Justice Maxwell held
that the officials were Innocent of the charges
preferred , then and in that the event , the
nipn who wore the respondents and their
camp followers would have been happy , but
as It Is they are compelled to admit that
Justice Maxwell is nearly always right and
that when cases go to the supreme court of
the United States ho is seldom reversed in
his judgment. This fact alone weighs
heavily upon the minds of the acquitted offi
cials , and as a natural result they are not
enjoying a peace of mind that they would If
circumstances were different.
There are a great many Ideas regarding
what olYcct the court decision will have upon
the future political situation. The demo
crats claim that it loses the state to the re
publicans , while thu independents , who
claim to represent the people , aver that it
has placed the star of victory upon their
banner , and going farther , they dec'nro that
Judges Norval nud Post , together with all ol
thu respondents , have dug their political
graves , from which they will never arisi
until the morn of tlio resurrection day. Tin
republicans are not saylntr a word , but it is
evident that they view the situation witli
feelings of alarm.

FOR A PERMANENT ORGANIZATION

tion and Holds Ono of Its Own
CincAoo , 111. , Juno C. When Governor
Nelson of Minnesota called the anti-trust ,
convention to order today It was expected
that the first fight of the session would
begin , for it was generally known that the
Donnelly , or radical faction , had boon beaten
in the committee on resolutions and would
carry tno light to the floor of the convention.
Chairman Uosowater , of the commit too on
resolutions , no sooner read the preamble ,
than Donnelly moved a substitute , a demand
for government purchase of anthracite coal
lands. Henry 1) . Lloyd of Chicago wanted
bituminous lands also purchased , and a lighten
on thcso two amendments lasted two hours ,
ftcr which Mr. Hosewatcr moved the
irevlous question and the committee report
ras carried. The light was kept u all day ,
owover , by the extremists , but thoi wcro
utvotcd at every turn.
The resolutions adopted sot forth at
cngth the evils of the trust system as at
ircscnt maintained , and call upon the con
dition to create n permanent association to
10 known as the Anti-Trust Association of
ho United States , consisting of thrco rop-
csentatlvcs from each state and territory ;
. 'so an organization of anti-trust assocla-
ions In each state and territory to aid the
latloual association in securing uniform
cgislation and the rigid execution of the
aw. The resolutions declare overcapitali
sation of the corporate property to
' 10 largely responsible for the break-
ng do'wn of credit and the financial
'istress now prevailing and recommend
tringcnt national and state legislation and
irovision to limit the bonding of corporate
iroperty and issue of stocks restricting the
lame to actual value. It is recommended
hat each member of the convention use all
: ionornblo means for the election to office ,
whether local , state or federal , of those only
ivho.aro exponents of this .anti-trust senti
ment. It is recommended also that the
cgislaturcs of the various states enact such
cgislation as will make it unlawful for any
corporation to enter into any trust or cora-
'uino detrimental to trade and commerce and
njurious to public welfare.
The resolutions were not radical enough to
suit the Donnelly and Weaver element" and
hey gave notice of another meeting at the
'aimer house tonight.
Ueforo the close of the central hall meot-
ng J. M. Quiun of the Butte , Mont. , Miner
altered n free coinage resolution , which was
passed by a small majority.
Thirty members of the anti-trust conven
tion , representing thirteen states , bolted
from the regular meeting and organised to-
iight. All the bolters wore populists. Gen
eral J. I ) . Weaver of Iowa was elected chair
man and Mr. McClollan of Kansas secre
tary. Ignatius Donnelly and o'tbcrs made
speeches and a resolution was adopted call-
'ng upon the Bimetallic league to convene an
ndustrlal convention some time in the fall
n Chicago for the purpose of a thorough
political organization to aver the principles
of the Floyd resolutions.

Congressman Springer Makes n Address
Other Proceedings.
ST. PAEL , Minn. , Juno 0. In the reci
procity convention today the committee on
resolutions reportcdiin favor of reciprocity in
trade , especially with Canada , which would ,
it was held , bo of great mutual advantage ,
in favor of improvement of waterways from
the great lakes to tide water , so as to admit
the passage of ocean steamers and open the
competition between railways , In both coun
tries , and providing for a committee of ten ,
five from the United States and flvo from
Canada to lay the matters before their ro-
spcctivo governments , with a view to se
curing the enactment of necessary laws to
secure the ends sought. After addresses
favoring the resolution by Hon. James Mar
tin and Hon. William M. Springer of Illinois ,
the convention took a recess.
After Iloccaa.
When Chairman Fisher again called the
convention to order at live minutes before 3
o'clock , President James J. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad was immediately intro
duced. After a few remarks on'tho com
position of the convention , Mr. Hill said
that , as ho understood it , the object of the
convention was to bring about a free inter
change of commercial commodities and of
transportation facilities on both sides of the
international boundary. On both sides of
the boundary the people are engaged in
practically the same occupation. Ho saw
no reason why the commerce , which now
seeks an outlet at Baltimore , New York and
Boston , should not bodividod with Montreal.
An arrangement , agreed upon between the
two countries , would result in good to a portion
tion of this country and all of Canada. Ho
thought it well not to ask for so much that
the people will feel that Canada is getting
all the advantage.
Alter other brief speeches the platform
was formally and unanimously adopted.
In the evening- mass meetinc was held In
the Auditorium , which was nearly filled by
delegates and others , many of whom had
been attracted by the presence of lion , Wil
liam M. Sflrinpcr , chairman of the ways
and means committee of the last house of
representatives , who delivered the chief ad
dress of the association. Mr. Springer was
greeted with hearty applause , and , in open
ing , disclaimed any intention of speaking
for others than himself , saying that what
he should advocate would simply represent
the views ho entertained as an individual ,
and cannot bo construed as a policy which
may bo pursued by congress or the demo
cratic party. Whatever policy the party
may adopt will bo determined when con
gress meets , and after consultation with
all the representatives of the people and of
the states and the general government. Ho
said in part :
Mr , Sprlngor'H Bpocch.
"I would favor conferring on the president
of the United States authority to appoint an
international commission on our part to treat
with any Ilka commission appointed by the
Dominion of Canada for the purpose of sub
mitting to the respective governments a
treaty of reciprocity embodying , as far as
possible , the following provisions ;
First A frco exchange of the products of the
soil , the fcircsl and the mines of the two cuun-
ti'loi , and of tin ) fisheries of the Atlantic and
on tbu Inland wuturs ,
fc'oi'und The frcu exchange of manufactured
articles , ( ho component parts of which litivo

ted fruo of duty In both countries.
"Ono exception should bo noted , however ,
that whcro the articles are subject to inter-
mil taxes each country should impose a tariff
equal to the internal tax. Thcro might bo
some exception to thcso general rules , which
it is safe to submit to the judgment of an in
ternational commission , The necessities for
revenue might require Important modifica
tions , both as to substance and as to the
tlnio each provision should take effect. It
might bo Important that n portion of the re
duction contemplated should go into effect
at the oud of ouch year , for n few years ,
until all the restrictions or taxes will bo re
moved. Such a treaty should continue until
both parties to it should agree to abrogatu it.
"After the provisions shall have become
In full force and effect anil operation , wo
may reasonably assume that the advantages
which would accrue thereby to both coun-
.rlc.s will greatly stimulate and promote the
commerce between the two countries : will
develop their growth and resources and con

which have resulted from perfect frco trade
between the states ol our union.

no fear of reactionary measures. If any re
strictions should 'have been observed they
would rapidly disappear In the light of the
advantages which would aecruo and the en

Every now - change would broaden and
widen the system , until thcro would bo
nothing loft to remind us of the folly of the
past , except the musty records of past con
gresses and parliaments.

Each will bo loft frco to form and to regulate

Although pcaco has been fully established
nd the government appointed under the
irotocol arranged by the peace commission
: ias been installed , the army which fought
'or Sacaza and the ono which was organized
l > y the revolutionists , have not yet been dis
banded. Some portions of these armies will
maintain their organizations until a perma
nent government- established through a
vote of the people.
Salvador Machado , who was selected by
ho peace commissioners to succeed Sacaza
ivas inaugurated timid great enthusiasm.
Thousands of citizens filled the streets and
cheered the members of the cabinet ap
pointed by .the revolutionary Junta when
they arrived at the capltol from Granada.
These cheers were repeated on the uppcar-
ance of United States Minister Balcer , who
was instrumentuWn opening amTcohdiicting
the negotiations through which pcaco was
establishca , Under the terms of the
protocol by wbjch'thc war is declared ended
the new government will gradually disband
the armies of the deposed government and
the revolutionists.
Dividing the Kxponscs.
The expenses of the war on each side will
bo recognized and paid on equal terms. To
guard against trouble the armistice lias been
extended. Meanwhile , the provisional gov
ernment under President Machado is rap
idly pushing forward measures for the
general good. All citizens have been as
sured that they will bo undisturbed in the
enjoyment of their political rights. Under
the arrangement sicncd by the rev
olutionists and Sacaza , representa
tives of the provisional government
can not bo removed until a permanent
government has been established by a con
stitutional assembly. Neither of the parties
in the late war can therefore take advantage
of the other and each will bo represented In
the government until the assembly , which
is to bo called within four months , prescribes
the way in which a permanent government
shall be established. When this is done an
election will bo held for president. It is not
probable that any leader on either side in
the late combat will bo chosen president for
the first constitutional term.
Perfect order prevails in all parts of Nica
ragua. Ex-President Sacaza. accompanied
by his wife , loft for Leon before the new
government took ofllco. It Is bollovcd they
will leave the country. The part taken by

Mr. Wright said he felt satisfied that
the president's announcement will have an
excellent effect on the country.

to this country would bo less than the loss
that has already occurred through the opera
tion of the Sherman silver law and the un
certainty that it has caused. "
Mr. Williams declared that all of the pres
ent financial trouble was caused by the sil
ver law. Mr. Cleveland has had to take the
financial situation as ho found it ; ho aid not
make it. Mr. Williams feels confident that

Financial Troubles of the Grant Locomo
tive Works Merely Temporary.
CHICAGO , 111. , June 0. The Grant Locomo
tive works inado a voluntary assignment t ( ;
day. The assignees , Messrs. Aekerman &
Wilson , have taken charge of the extensive
plant of the company , but the shops will not
bo shut down. On April 30,1893 , the assets
of the company wcro ? 1,151,020 , and liabili
ties ftlOlr ) > o. The cause of the company's
embarrassment is that it has invested all its
capital stock in its plant. It has been work
ing upon a largo order for locomotives and
has tied up a largo amount of the assets in
them. As they cannot bo realized
upon until delivered , end as the
company has been delayed and hin
dered in the completion of tlio locomotives
by the strike , which has been going on at its
works for the past three months , and on
account of the stringency in the money mar
ket , the stockholders today decided that all
parties interested will bo bettor protected
by putting the property iu the hands of an
assignee.
The company is employed on a contract to
build fifty-live engines for the Chicago ,
Burlington & Quincy railroad. This con
tract amounted to over $550,000 , and when
the strike took place all of this money was
tied up. President Fenncr said tonight this
was ono of the things that compelled the as
signment and that as soon as the company
could realize on its contract with the liurl-
ington it would be on its feet again.
