OMAHA is Rotting too old and digni fied to permit highway robberies on' prominent streets. The offenders should bo severely dealt with if they can bo apprehended. THK imposition of an income tax would ciiiiso a great shrinkage in the value of large estates. It would also create a noticeable shrinkage in truth fulness on tlio part ot the owners of the estates. To ALLAY a misapprehension that has obtained it may bo settled that there is nothing cither in tlio constitutions or statutes of the United States which re quires the president to give any specified notice of the calling of congress. THK Sioux City bank which was com pelled to close its doors Saturday was the promoter of an electric railroad Bchomo and its officers wore prominontty identified with other speculative enter prises. A Htriet observance of the rules of legitimate banking would have pre vented the failure. IT is stated that Omaha's banks have on hand more than -10 per cent in cash with which to mcot the di-munds of de positors. When it is considered that the comptroller's oflicliil statement nhows that the average reserve in west ern national banks Is from 25 to 28 per cent the solidity of the Omaha banks \vill bo easily understood. Tin- : United States attorney for the district of Nebraska confirms the views 'expressed ' by THK BKK to the effect that if the transfer of the prison contract to \V. II. Dorgsm was illegal , as it is fully Iwllovcd to bo , the property used in the operation of the contract can bo seized py the state to protect itself from losses Imposed by Moshor's peculations. THK worst thing about the collapse of the old Ford theater was the fact that Its dangerous condition was well known to the olllcials had chai-go of the build ing. Tliis much has been settled by the preliminary Investigation. As far back us 18311 a congressional committee re ported that the building was in a very Hhaky condition. The coroner's jury evidently has some work to do in the case. TUB republican party of Nebraska can only bo resurrected by relegating the boodle brigade and the dishonest , played out leaders to the roar and bring ing to the front men of known Integrity who never make a pledge they don't In Jit tend to keep. In the language of an Omaha real estateman "the - man , future is not very promising unless provldonco comes to our rosouo with a few well or- tiered funerals. " EX-GOVKKNOU TIIAYKU has taken It upon himself to sound a bugle note of warning to the republican party to fight Bhy of Honjamin Harrison. Why this alarm should bo sounded throe and a half years before the presidential elec tion can only be explained on the ground that the old general has for a number of years been a constant sufferer from po litical nluhtnmro. First his "black beast" was Rutherford 11. Hayes , but Blneo the death of llayos ho appears frightened at the apparition of Harrison. Well , really , Mr. Harrison Is not In Governor Tlmyor's way. ONI : of the inestimable benefits that Ith BUggestcd may result from the World's fair is that it may stimulate the con- Ktruotlon i f a proper whip canal which would bring the Atlantic seaboard Inti : connection with Chicago by way of the great lakes. The sending of the Span ish caravels to Chicago round by the way of the St. Lawrence has directed attention anew to this great project , long Binco pronounced feasible by omi- iiont engineering authority. The lakes lire already traversed ny vessels of 4OOC tons burden , A broad'and ( loop water way to the sou for ocean vocals would 1)0. a boom to transportation facilities that would not likely bo relished by the railroads , but It would be a great bene fit to the United Stutea us u whole , und lao to Cunutlu. "THE nK-UXlTBD STATUS , " Andrew Carnoglo tniiy hrtvo no aspira tion to enter tholtsta against , Edward Bellamy and Ilonry George as a vague romancer and nobuloiu theorist. The owner of Homestead iuirl similar oxton- slvo Industrial properties has boon to the public heretofore hyiiothoticnlly a staid business man , with practical mattor-of- fact , common day vicwri. Yet the publi cation of hla noweditionof "Triumphant Democracy" promisor to place him in the advance category of progressive specula tions. Its closing chapter is the recital of a Utopian dream which transcends the wild and lofty flight * of the most versa- tlio economic Inventor. It Is nothing lena than that the future is to sec the United States and Orcsit Britain again olio country with a common citizenship. "I say that assuroly natho sun in the heavens once shoncs upon Britain and America united , sostir-oly Is it ono morn ing to rise , shine upon , and greet 'Tlio lie-united States. ' 'Tho Brltlsh-Ameri ; can Union , ' Is the prediction which ho makes the text for a lengthy and some what plausible storv of the probability of such a consummation and the ad vantages that would vosult thorofrom. The principal considerations ho addncos in support , ot his belief epito mized are , the confidence begotten by race similltary ; the removal of all that once eonstitutued the ocean a barrier between nations through the system of rapid transportation Jind instantaneous communication ; the advantages of a race confederation ; the ma-torta ! benefits in volved In reunion , nnd tlio unmcasurablo inllupiico this great political unity and power could have in broadening and ele vating the Individual citi/on of all classes. Mr. Carnoglo supports these proposi tions by the Siimo plaii&iblo sophistry with which the vaporing "Sagoof Ninin- gor" erected ' 'Caauf's Column. " The motherland which f ) vcod the Issue of the alienation of the uolonints sees nothing more clearly today tliiiu the error she committed. Is the separation thus forced to remain permanent ? "The American remains throe-fourths purely British. The mixture of the Gorman , which conslKutos stibstantianlly all of ho remainder though not " "strictly British , is yet Oormanli : . The feei ng of confidence in each other nay be expected to grow as loliticnl institutions continue to as- imilato. Travel 1 > y sea"is hereafter , if lot quite as fast , U > l e even more com- ortablo than ualatinl land transpurta- ion , and the oeomi telegraph renders imo nothing whuji all can insUtntly icar everything that transpires. "Tho now nation would dominate the world ind banish from the earth Its greatest tain the murder of men by men. " It tvould beoDine the avbitcr between na- ions. An Anglo-American reunion would open to Britain the richest mar- tot in the world , fceo of all duty. That , his would seriously disturb the inanu- 'ai'turing interests of the cast is admit ted , but "judging from my knowledge of American manufacturers there are few who would not gladly make the neces sary pecuniary saoritlccs to bring about a reunion of the oM homo and. the now. " I'lio minor opposition would bo silenced by the patriotic approval of the people. "Tho only cornea for Grout Britain scorns to bo reunion with -her giant child , or sure dooliiio to a secondary place , and then to comparative insignili- ance In the fulu.ro annals of-the ling- ish speaking race. " To develop states men the state must have a great part to play in the world , and every state should aim to bo powerful because power in the state nobly oxotviscHl "is the strongest influence in producing good and patriotic citizens. " Thus ami similarly the author pleads for reunion. As to the sentiment in favor thereof 'it can be said of Ctimula , she is ready.1 Touching the UnitcdStalesMr.Carnogio submits without qualification the as sumption at least open to dispute that the American people arc favorable to the extension oE national boundaries. The American union is constantly add ing states , "therefore a propo.sition to reunite Britain nnd the republic would not seem anything novel to thorn. " Two members out of three for the proposed re union are thus alreiuly secured. The in genious projcctorof the scheme confesses that much must lie neu'miplhliod before England can bo luducod "to again accept the headship of 1lio race us the oldest and most revered member in a great re union , which she could not expect to dominate. " But. all the seeming grave difficulties to the consummation so de voutly advocated by the writer molt away before the optimistic glow of his fervid imagination , "There ia no valid obstacle in the colonial feature. " The monarchlul form of government is not "otorne. " The opinion , said to have boon expressed by the prlnco of Wales himself , is that 3io will probably bo the last official sitting by hereditary right. "I am pornuaded that ho is the last man in the world to stand in the way of heal ing a separation ivhluh he so constantly deplores , and uriloss the estimate formed by all of the iiiitriotlsrn , virtues and character of lior majesty herself bo strangely awry , she would give much beyond her crown to bo the poauo- nuiker who brought reunion to her race. " "For Biieli a mission and such a destiny even Queen Victoria on bended knee might pray.

It vould bo so easy a tajk that ita very simplicity amazes and ren ders HB incredulous. " Whatever may prove the popular estimate or probable acoouohemont of this Imaginative con ception , the benuvuleut spirit of its in spiration may lead lovers of romantic invention to bestow on the great iron master of the Mononguhulu something of the reverent esteem that has become the reward of tuu philKuthropie Sidd- hartha of whom wo read in the Vcdas of the Brahman * . tNDKl'KXUEXt K .lAMVfiHS.lttl * . KlTorts are making In some of the east ern cities and nt points elsewhere to ob serve the approaching anniversary of national independence with something of the commemorative zeal , thanksgiv ing and patriotic festivity that John Adams predicted it would obtain in the annals of the nation. Since Its adoption , on the 4th day ot July , 1770 , by the unanimous vote of the congress of the colonies , the Declaration of Independ ence has been accepted by the Hborty loving world as the best protest against oppression known to political history. It is eminently fitting nnd desirable , therefore , that every returning anni versary of this momentous event should receive worthy commemoration. Espe cially appropriate it Is that the anniver sary of tills centennial year of jubilee should bo celebrated with all the fervor and enthusiasm that the occasion is cal culated to arouse. It Is true that of re cent years the observation of the day has not been so general , nor has It been of a character commensurate to. Its cense quence. It Is a day on which the grandest lesson of patri otism over recorded should bo remembered by the elder nnd taught to the younger generation. It is not a day to bo honored in observance by bois terous frolic and wild carousal. A cor respondent Is apprehensive that there Is to bo nO proper recognition of the anni versary in this city and asks : "Is it true that the citizens of Omaha are going to allow the Fourth of July of this Colum bian year to go by unobserved ? " lie thinks that to direct attention to the question will "rouse the patriotic en thusiasm of our citizens" and that "through a mass meeting plans could bo formulated whereby Omaha would not bo behind other largocitiesin the proper celebration of Independence day. " Tlio suggestions of TUB BUR'S corre spondent are timely and are submitted for the consideration of patriotic citi zens. .lTlOA Ult XUTI11XG. According to the correspondent of the New York .Siiii at Honolulu the men who deposed the queen of Hawaii and sot up a provisional government will have annexation or nothing. If the United States is not disposed to accept the territory which they have no right to olTor , says this correspondent , they will look elsewhere. They do not want a protectorate from any source , they have never contemplated an independent republic and they will resist to the last tlio restoration of the monarchy. Their only and irrevocable purpose Is an nexation , and if this country does not want the islands the revo lutionary party intends to offer them to some other county. ' . This statement doo3 not harmonize with the reports from Honolulu of a few days ago , in which it was said that if the Cleveland administration rejected the proffer of the islands , as it scorned hkoly to do from the character of the instructions understood to have been sent to Minister Blount , the provisional government would continue on and wait for a change of administration in this country. It is possible that the latest report may not bo entirely groundless , but undoubtedly the general disposition will be to regard it as in the nature of a bluIT. Nobody knows better than the men who are in control of affairs in Hawaii that the United States would not permit tlio islands to bo an nexed by any other foreign power. They have been told this in language so plain that it is impossible that they can mis understand its meaning or doubt its sin cerity. In view of this they are not at all likely to make any attempt to inter est another foreign power in the politi cal affairs of Hawaii. It was reported a few days ago that the Navy department had ordered a re inforcement of marines to the war vessels in Hawaiian waters , which sug gests that the government may bo an ticipating the possibility of some attempt at foreign interference , but tlio greater probability is that it was simply to bo prepared , in tlio event of a conflict of parties on the isl ands , to properly protect Ameri can interests. There is manifestly a growing anxiety to know what position the administration intends to finally take on this subject. Wo noted a few days ago a statomunt from a responsible I source that Mr. Cleveland had probably not decided what his action would lie regarding annexation , ana " it was further intimated by tlio same authority that ho was not opposed to annexing the islands if a majority of the people there desired it. The impression has obtained that the president was un friendly to annexation on grounds of principle , because It would bo a viola tion of the traditional policy of the government , if not also a radical departure from the spirit of the constitution , as contended by Judge Cooley and other eminent expounders - pounders of the fundamental law. Mr. Clpvolnnd will doubtless in his own good time give the country clear and full in formation as to his position and inten tions regarding this important question , and meanwhile it seems safe to assume , from what lias been done , that it is not his purpose to force anything "upon the Hawaiian people. On the other hand It would Houin that the annoxatlonists are not altogether discouraged and are still determined to keep up the fight for their cause as long as they can sco the least hope for its ultimate success. IOWA democrats seem to favor an early campaign , with Lieutenant Gov ernor S. L. Bestow as n candidate foi governor and Governor Boles in the background for United States senator , If the republicans of the state will onlj drop prejudice and intolerance for i while and act in harmony with rational thought and fair common soiibo nine chances out of ton both the democratic aspirants will be loft.

New York newspapers commenting re gard the order as sweeping and exceed ingly ill-considered , nd at this distant point of observation It affords the same view. ' _ _ TltU last leg&faturo appropriated something like 821,000 for Improvements at the state penitentiary. According tea a decision of a majority of the supreme court the work must bo done by convict labor and at such prices as the contrac tor may see fit to charge. But the ques tion is , who Is the contractor. Moshor or Dorgan ? Some of the ablest lawyers in the state assert that the Moshor contract Is void because it was made contrary to law and without competition. If Mother's contract is void , and wo'do not doubt that it is , what right has Dorgau in the promise * ? WITH such distinguished pensioners as General John C. Black , ox-commls- slonor of pensions , drawing $100 n month ; General Franz Siogol the same amount ; General N. P.

THK twenty-three pension office em ployes detailed by Commissioner Loch- ron as a "board of revision" have a diill- eult task before them. They are to ex amine the pension files aim reopen every case allowed under section U of the act of Juno 27 , 1890. More than ' 100,000 case * will have to bo examined and a determination readied in each as to whether the allowances are in accord ances with tlio law. I'onriiril.

Grand Island Times ; Although the lin- ponclie.l state oniccrs were acquitted by the supreme court It is probable that the trial will have a salutary effect in that It will cause the ofllcials to bo more watchful of the Interests of tho'statc. ' Central City Nonpareil : The supreme court has decided that the state board Is innocent , Judge Maxwell dissenting. The people \vill baud down their opinion later. The supreme court and the I iucastor jury evidently do not look through the same glasses. Kmerson Kntorprlso : The Impeached ofll- cials are thus exonerated , hut tharo will al ways be a strong feeling on the part of the people that If they were not actually guilty of robbing the state they allowed shortcom ings on the part of other public ollleinls. su perintendents and contractors. Kairilold News Herald : Of course It was expected that Chief Justice Maxwell would bo In favor of impeachment. There is no doubt but that these olllcers were negligent in the management of utale alTairs , and per haps criminally negligent , and they have been taught n lesson that they will not for get soon , and a much more satisfactory management of state affairs will bo the re sult. So taken altogether the Impeachment was not so bad a thing. Star.ton Register : The state oflleors oa impeachment charges having been pro nounced not guilty by n majority of the court have resumed their ofllees. It would have been more satisfactory if the verdict could have been unanimous. The evidence cer tainly showed n deal of crookedness soni'- whoro.Vo presume that most of the work was done by clerks , but the fact remains that gross neglect was proven. Whether guilty or not these men will never bo elected to ofllco again by the republican party. Holdrcgo Citizen : The trial can hardly bo called a complete vindication of the de fendants. Opinions regarding the impeach ment case will bo as widely diverging as the opinions from tlio bench. That these opin ions will be largely determined by the po litical bias and prejudice of the ncrsons forming them cannot bo denied. In cases like this , party and personal prejudice has much to do with public opinion. What ef fect the decision will have on the political situation this fall is much discussed , but It Is hard , as yet , to tell what effect it will have , and it looks as If it would bo more mixed than evor. Plainviow Ciazottc : The Oazotto believes that the impeachment trial will have a bone llcial effect. Vt'hilo a majority of the court finds the accused not guilty Judge Maxwell , whoso ability and integrity are not ques tioned , is of the opinion that they are guilty. It is conceded by all that their negligence was inexcusable. The majority of the court holds that the impearhed olllcials may be liable to the state for money misappropri ated , but are not liable to Impeachment bo- cansu they acted In good faith. Tlio situa tion of the impeached oflk-mls is not an enviable - viable one , and other olllcials will not bo am bitious to emulate their example in neglectIng - Ing the interest of the state which it is their duty to protect , and in having their careless indifference made public , us the impeach ment trial has done in the cases against ( Jeorgu II. Hastings , John C. Allen and Augustus U. Humphrey. IJcatrico Times : Tlio opinions of the supreme premo court in the impeachment eases will bo read with care and deliberation through out the state today. It is to bo regretted that tlio verdict was not unanimous , as thou It could have left no doubt whatever as to the strict accordance of ttio division witl : tlio law and justice. The majority vote of course will generally bo accepted as author ity as to what constitutes misdemeanor ii : ofllco , yet tlio opinion by Judge Maxwell , owing to his high judicial rank cannot but bo awarded respectful attention and consid eration. The court agrees uixm the fact that the state has been defrauded of thousands of dollars but attributes it to the carelessness , iucompotoney and fraud of sulxmlinatos rather than to the willful dis regard of the interests of the state by tin st.ito ofllcors. In brief , the decision Is to tlio elfoct that \vbilo frauds have been com mitted , tlio testimony docs not show that the state oniccrs have been guilty of any thing but error of Judgment , which does no constitute impcachablo olTense. Tokanmh Hurtonian : The verdict of the supreme court 6f the state against the im peached olllcers , Allen , Humphrey and Hast ings , has been rendered in their exoneration , nnd the nurtonlau is in mourning in conso- quonro , fully believing thoiu guilty of onouirh breach of trust to convict and remove from olllco with a grand bounce on ordinary occa sions of smaller imixirt. If they were guilty at all , which was admitted , it should remove thorn , and tlio failure of tlio court to do It is confidentially predicted by the Hurtonian to mean the defeat of the republican party of Nebraska at tlio next election. As all along advocated by this paper and forever will bo is clean men for uvorv oflleo in the gift of the pcoplo nnd a limited time at the public teat for the purest of them for the good of both olllcors and pooplo. As expressed by Hon. G. M. I anibortsou , council for tlio state , who said that "the verdict or Chief Justice Maxwell , who has been on the bench for twenty years , will bo accepted ns the most satisfactory to the pooplo. " May the god of the republican party protect ustill , report to the contrary of Judges Norval and 1'ost who voted for their acquittal. Hhiir Pilot : Of course the majority opin ion , which finds mgainst impeachment , gov erns , though it bo but an opinion anil ono that carries In Its every line n continuous apology for Its utterance. These judges assume - sumo at the outset that "impeachment , " which the facts of general understanding and the practice of impeachment hardly warrants. Nearly nil the things charged against the accused otllcials are admitted , buloxeusud away on grounds of "error of Judgment not amounting to misdemeanor in ofllco. " The case of hiring Dorgan is ad mitted to bo "highly ceusur.iblo as unlittsi- nrss like and wanting In that intelligent re gard for public interest which the state ox- ucts from Us olneers. " The expenditure of cell house money for Juiihet trips "was not within the scope of authority of the board "Dut good faith" oxeusoe them , and "such fuels are not sufllciunt in laiv to warrant their impeachment. " The enormous coal steals at the asylum , tlio illegal advance ment of money to Morgan , the robbery of the state on two or three prlocd stone , all these and other charges are admitted nspnnou , but the ofllcials supervisors who approved bills and permitted these things am not to bo impeached , bocausu the legislature was moro reckless than they in Its acts nnd be cause they nctoa in "good faith" all the time and it has not neon shown that they indi vidually profited by the Jobbery they per mitted. This decision of the supreme oourt though It has the effect to reinstate the recreant olllcials In their oltlces , is merely an opinion after all. There Is no construction of law la the cases except In the assumption llrst stated. The evidence has gene out to the people of the state uud they too huvo formed opinions on the fnoU shown nmthoso opin ions do not In Iho innlri nprco with tha opinion of the honorable Judge * . And It will bo dinieult for anv Impartial man to read the opinion hnwlca down by Judges Novnl nnd Test , rlthcr now or as a matter of history in the future , without coming to the conclusion that the apologies therein contained are ovl- dcncff of the vro.ihnrss of the conclusion reached , Judge Maxwell's dissenting opin ion quotes lh\v nnd the constitution in sup port of It , and there Is no shadow of npology for his conclusions. Ho argues from the shoulder and shows by peed law and better logic that the accused are unlit for the great public trusts Imposed on thorn. If n'mnn had not rend or hoard ono word of the testi mony and will read and compare those two opinions ho will know that the respondents should have been Impeached. nt the Dointicrnm. Plattsmouth Journal : The opinion Is uni versal that tlio decision , oven If it was In favor ot tno oRlclnls , has sounded the death- kuell of the republican party In Nebraska. I'npllllon Tinips : Numerically speakinif , Judge Maxwell Is n minority of the state supreme court , but In point of ability and honesty ho Is a regular Texas democratic majority. Nebraska City News : Now if any of the three imagine they want a little moro vindi cation let them coino up for ofllco nnd glvo the people a chance , hot the republican party rouomlnnto Its pots. Adams County Domocr.it : The Impeach ment trial has been a failure , but its final results have not been summed up. Other elections will follow and Iho pcoplo will not sustain the verdict of the court. lllalr Courier : Naming n successor to Judge Maxwell is a very delicate business , boys. 1'lcnso take n little timo. 1 > Vo would like to have him succeed himself. The state of Nebraska has been silly enough to side track its old judges in n hnsto that In our judgment does not compcut with dignity. Go slow. Denver News : Nobraska's supreme court. by n vote of two against ono , has permitted the Impeached state olllclals of that state to escape punishment. The trrcnt scandal Is ngalu referred to tlio pcoplo to bo decided at the polls. It l.s a slow process , but It is sure. The corporation combine Iu Nebraska must bo overthrown. Scrlbner News : The supreme court of Nebraska Is becoming somewhat noted for Its rank partisan decisions. Impeachment eases were taken from the legislature to the supreme court to evade partisanship , nnd It scorns to bo i ease of jumping from the fry ing pan Into the flro. Fremont Herald : Judge Maxwell's opin ion Is founded on justice and the facts In tlio case , while the opposite opinion is a lame apology , inteniled as a whitewash for un faithful olllcials who must bo uphold at all hazards. Tlio people know whe.ro . to apply the credit and the blame. Wayne Democrat : Though Judge Max well was overruled by his associates on tlio supreme bench , he will be sustained by that hlirhor court , the pcoplo of Nebraska , who read the evidence in the case of the im peached olllcials and pronounced the verdict of " " two three weeks "guilty" or ago. Columbus Telegram : Looked at in nnj light , the majority verdict bears out the pre diction of this paper , imv.lo last week , as fol lows : "While evidence has Oeon adduced showing gross mismanagement of public affairs , the court cannot connect the defend ants with the criminality directly enough to justify a verdict of guilty. ( Sotto voce be cause they are all good republicans and have a pull. " ) Sehnyler Ilorald : As was expected , it was a verdict ot not guilty. Norval nnd Post nre responsible for the opinion , as Chief Justice Maxwell had the manhood to dissent from it. Norval and Post do not in tholr decision pretend to say that frauds have not been perpetrated , but they strive to make it appear that defendants worn not responsible. The decision is that of a parti san court. Papillion Times : The agony Is over and the rascals go freo. A majority of the supreme premo court has acquitted the impeached state ottlclals. Honest old Judge Maxwell dissented , holding that the men were guilty as charged , and that they should he ousted from the oflices they have disgraced. Hum bly tlio Times bows to the decision of our supreme tribunal , reserving to itself , how ever , , the right to Vollovo that Messrs. Humphrey , Hastings and Allen ought to bo wearing penitentiary pants at this moment. Syracuse Herald : Jmlj'-'s Post and Norval belong to the same republican gang as the impeached olllcers. lienco the decision was not unexpected. They had bohi'.id them a powerful ring , which would stop at nothing to achieve their purpose , a ring made plethoric by stolen state money , and the only wonder is that Chief Justice Maxwell could tower so high above party prejudice as to honestly judge the question on it merits was partisan sympathy. The "grand old man of Nebraska" is deserving of the hearty congratulations of all who believe in purity in politics. ONoillSuu : It may mean that public ofllcials do not need to do the stealing them selves , but that their clerks or deputies can do the plundering anil looting and divide with their chiefs on the sly and that the supreme premo court will credit It to negligence re sulting from error of judgment. This justice tico is mooted out by a partisan court ! What a farce ! The Sun predicts that Judge Maxwell will not bo renominntod by the re publican state convention this fall , but that ho is quite HUely to bo nominated by the in dependent. What a glorious record the re publican party has made for itself in Ne braska. Hurt County Herald : Trim lo prophnsy the supreme court of Nebraska , or two members of it , stood by the gang tliat so long menaced the state , nnd held that its plunderers woremot guilty as charged. The decision handed down by Post nnd Norval exonerating the Impeached oilirlnls of all charges Is a shame to the court , an Impeach ment on justice , a blot on the lair name of our commonwealth ftnd n disgrace that can not bo explained nwny It Is MI Insult heaped upon long-borno Injury Thuro was one , however , the grand old man of hon r - Chief Justice Maxwellwho w.rId nut as sent to calling all that is bad nnd wrono good ami riithV. When the accumulated evidence proved beyond doubt a plain rrtso of pullt , the uneonquerod hereof courts bravely < took his exceptions to Iho odds. lntn of tlio I' Wahoo New Kra : U begins to look no , ? ns though thi republican cry will bo ' 'any thing to down Maxwoll" and put him whoiv ho can do no ofllclal harm to the corporations , nnd thieves. They can't handlt' Maxwell Superior Times : The majority of the people ple of the state believe that Iho decision was n partisan ami prejudiced ono and that thcsa men were guilty of the charges preferred. The taxpayers of the state feel chagrined on suoh n terminus of the ease , nfter spend ing about $ WA ( > 0 to rid the state of the thieves. Sehuyler Quill : Tito opinion Is no stir- prlsn. The result has boon anticipated and even the opinion of each niombpr of tlio bench readily fonuold. That Jiulgo Max well would bo In favor of convicting anil Post and Norval for acquittal was apparent. There is something wrong when tlm opinions of member * ot ihoiupvemo betioli can bo , to n certain degree of accuracy , foretold Darlington Loader : The state suprnmo court has decided ngnlnst Impeachment in tlm case of the slate ofllrlals , Judge Max well , dissenting. This may bn as It should bo , but every dollar that has been spent uiKin the ease has been well spent , In that It has been an educator to the people There Is not much doubt but tlio same decision will bo rendered nt the trial of O. W. Moshor. Hut no matter how the courts de cide , each Individual has a rJL'ht to form a verdict for himself , and while their power to sentence Is limited they can at least banish the rascals politically. Auburn Orangcr : The Clrnnger Is of course surprised and disappointed over the findings of the court of iinp'-achment ' , for * despite the many declarations from others to the effect that two of lite Judges would find for the licensed wo did not bolleve It. The evidence has gene to the pcoplo , nnd two facts have been thoroughly established : First , that thnso olllcials , eltlior by cussedness - ness or carelessness , have wronged the state out of many thousand dollars ; and second , the court has shown a determination to stand -vlth the ring instead of with the pee plo. Ueciplmnr specie rectl. CustorCounty Deacon : The two Judges admit that tlio state was charge-d. for labor not rendered. That money was advanced to Dorgan out of the cell house fund before thu labor therefor had been performed That there bad ber-n an enormous steal on stonn for the cell bouse. That the respondents j took STIH ) out of the fund which had been ' sot apart "to build up a cell house by the days work , " and ruthlessly squandered It In V a junket. They found that the state was ' "shamefully defrauded" In the matter of overcharges on flour and coal. All thnsu * things are admitted , yet the judges claim , i that It was done without the knowledge ot respondents. Dodge County Loader : Thus cuds ono ot i the most remarkanlo trials and r.iuk de cisions ever rendered. Innocent ! I low In noeeiitf Innocent of taking cell building I ] money for an excursion. Innocent of taking money from the same fund to pay the ex- , pensesot'Dan Hopkins ami Chaplain Howe ) j to a prison congress. Innocent in allowing Dorgau and Hopkins p-.iy out the state money at will , and calling on the same par ties for excursions at will. Yet our supreme j court judges are such innocent idiots that they can see nothing but innocence In all this. May the good I/ml deliver the state soon from such "young and vigorous" men by placir.g thorn in their proper sphore. Alliance-Independent : The great trial li over. The thieving republican state nftlcurs are declared innocent. The case will now bo appealed from the supreme court to a higher court the uroat court or public opinion. In that court these men have already been de clared guilty. The decision is the culmi nating disgrace of our highest judicial tribunal. Hut in the light of past events what else could bo expected of the two rail road judges ? H.ivo they ever once decided a question other than as their masters bid them ! Have they not always prostituted their high olllce.s to partisan ends ! In their decision nmndamnsing the legislature two vears ago. in their decision fn the Iloyd" case , afterwards reversed by Iho federal court , in their decision In the ICrusrvNorton content ease , have they not thrown nslilo their judicial chnractor nnd derided r.olely and nlono as politicians ?
