nnrtLW , Feb. 27. The debate on the
( IlUHSO'Oorman trcaly of commerce was con
tinued today In Ihu Rclchslag. Chancellor
run Caprlvl repelled the attacks made upon
lilm for concluding the agreement , and said
that he would remain In olllco so long as
the emperor pleased to retain him. He
OHscrtcd Hie treaty met' universal approval
from n political view and that Us rojecllon
Voiild cause a continuance of Iho tariff war.
According to the chancellor the commercial
Veaty served the purposes of peace as well
O.n the army bill and the IJrclbund , and It
was Iho last link In the chain
which commenced with the Auslro-Qerman
treaty : The chiulcpllor reminded Iho Uolch-
Htag that nltcinptH to brliiK about nn
ocoiiomlc rapproachmcnt wllh Russia had
' .proceeded for nearly a century , and ho had
July fulfilled u promise which Prince 131s-
innrck made In 1S73 , that the conclusion of
u commercial treaty with Russia would be
effected by him shortly.
Continuing , the chancellor contended that
the agrarians only provoked enmity between
husbandry and Industry , and In discussing
the general policy ho saidVo : do not care
for material glory ; the only fame wo de-
ulro Is the solving of problems relating to
the social and lntelloctu.il Improvement of
the people , enabling nations to live together
amicably nnd preparing the way for a future
tlmo when It may bo necessary to bind to-
( jethor a larger group of nations In a great
common economic policy. By conslanlly pur-
tlulng this policy Germany has raised her
prestige. " _

opinions in cases of which the syllabi an

Exeter National bank against Orchard
Appeal from Flllmore county. Alllrmed
Opinion by Mr. Commissioner Irvine.
W & Co. , a private bank , lent money tc
O upon an agreement for the payment o ;
usury. The business was conducted bo
twcen O and W , one ot the partners In the
firm of W & Co. A nolo was made to the
order of W and a conveyance of land absO'
lute In form made to W to secure the loan
The note was renewed at frequent intervals
usurious Interest being paid upon each re
newal. Some months after Ihu loan was
made the Exeter Nallonal bank was Incor-
poralcd and Succeeded to Iho business
and assets of W & Co. , W becoming its
cashier. The note continued to bo renewed
to the order of W for some years , bul
llnally was renewed to the order of the
Exutcr Nallonal bank. O at the inception
at the transaction did not know that the
moiioy lent to him was that of W & Co. , and
there was no evidence to show that at any
particular time he had learned of the fact 01
uf the fact that renewal notes belonged tc
the national bank until the first note was
made directly to Iho bank. Held , Ihat In
in action by the national bank to foreclose
the mortgage O was entitled lo have all the
payments of interest applied as payments
tipon th'o principal and that as these pay
ments , nt the tlmo when the first note was
made directly lo the bank , amounted to
more than the original debt , these notes
tveroi ( Without ! consideration and the bank
tot being * a bona fide holder could not recover.
2. It fceoms that the lemcdfes given by the
Federal statutes for usury exacted by
national banks are exclusive , but that prin
ciple does not prevent a debtor under the
circumstances stated In the foregoing para
graph from availing himself ot any defenses
to which ho Is entitled under the state law
ind which accrued before he was uwarc that
the debt was owing to the bank.
3. Where a loan Is originally usurious the
lefcnso of usury applies to all renewals and
when action Is brought upon any note , no
matter how remote , the court will apply all
payments ot Interest upon such usurious
loan as payments pro tanto of the principal.
4. Such application Is made not by way of
jot-off or counter claim , but by way of pay-
nenl , and Iho statute ot limitations. does not
Mr such a defense.
G. After the notes came to bo made directly
o the bank , O brought suit agalnsl lho bank
md recovered judgment under tlo ( federal
ilatules for payments of usury made otter
: he bank became the ostensible ( creditor.
field , That that action did not estop O from
) lcadlng usury In the earlier transactions
ivlth W and JiavUig these payments applied
is payments upon the principal.
0. Nor was Iho making of renewal notes
llrectly to the bank and the payment ot In-
.erest thereon such a recognition of the
sxlstonco of an Indebtedness as would estop
) from pleading the prior usury and payment
iy reason thereof.
Jensen et al against Lewis Investment
: ompany. Appeal from Douglas county.
Mllrmed. Opinion by Mr. Chief Justice
The evidence In the case examined and
lonsldered , and hold to sustain the finding
if the trial court that S was the lender's
igent In negotiating the loan and not the"
lorrowor's , nnd that the loss resulting from
ho failure of S to pay over the money to
ho borrower , delivered to him for that pur-
IOSQ by the lender , falls on the latter.
McGlllcn against Chase county et al. Error
rom Chase county. Alllrmed. Opinion by
.Ir. Justice Harrison.
The plaintiff filed a petlljon praying fern
, n Injunction to restrain a county and Its
Ulcers from the forcible collection of a lax
gainst personal property , averring as
rounds therefor that the lax was Illegal or
inauthorlzed. The evidence discloses thai
0 llslodl the property for taxation , the sched-
lo on Its face being a list of his Individual
roporty signed by him and sworn to In-
Ivldually nnd not as manager for a coin-
any , for whom ho alleges In his bill for In-
uncllon that ho listed the property and to
rlioni he stated It belonged. The taxes
olng charged to him In the tax llsls as
ranscrlbcd from the assessor's book. Held ,
liat this was not such a stale of fads as
rould entitle him to have the collection of
lie taxes enjoined or restrained as Illegal or
naulhorlzed , as such entry or charge on the
ix list was the result or consequence of his
wn voluntary act.

LINCOLN'S LATEST SCANDAL.
j ? prominent family of Lincoln has become
Involved In a public scandal , the parties
being A. Halter and wife and Dr. D. 1) .
O'Gnrman. Mrs. Halter has been an Invalid
for some time and was taken to Chicago by
her husband for treatment. While there
sonio letters written to his wife fell Into his
hands and ho learned from them that she
luid for months been carrying on an In-
trlguo , to call It by no more serious a term ,
with Dr. O'Gorman. Ho taxed her with In
fidelity and she confessed. This Is the story
told by Halter. On the other hand , O'Gor-
man denies the truth of the story told by
Halter. Ho has demanded a complete re
traction from Halter and threatens to un
cover another scandal In which Halter Is
Implicated unless the retraction Is promptly
forthcoming. All parties are well known In
Lincoln , having lived here for years. Halter
has threatened to shoot O'Gorman on sight ,
but the latter has studiously refrained from
becoming alarmed at the prospect of Im
mediate death at the hands of the Irate
husband.
EXCOMMUNICATED A PRIEST.
The bitter controversy between Hlshop
lionacutn and Father Corbett has taken an
other phase and It Is now announced that
the bishop has proceeded to the extreme of
formally excommunicating the priest with
whom he has had so much trouble. After
the culmination of the trouble between the
bishop and the priest , when the latter had
the former arrested and tried on the charge
of criminal libel before a civil court , Father
Corbett announced that he would continue
to servo his parish at Palmyra , the bishop's
suspension to the contrary notwithstanding.
Matters drifted along In this uncertain con
dition for several weeks until It Is now an
nounced that the bishop has excommunicated
Father Corbott , prohibiting him from partici
pation In the cucharlst for three years and
sentencing him to a penance of three years
In a Canadian monastery at Montreal. Father
Corbett has declined to recognize the sen
tence ot excommunication and still Insists
that ho Is the priest of tlio parish at Pal
myra. Bishop Donacum hasso far con
quered his aversion to the civil courts as to
employ an attorney and commence suit to
oust Father Corbett from the house In which
he resides at Palmyra.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Country Itoiul Iiiiprotrineiit to llpgln In
Forty Days Itoiillnu IllinlncHS.
Douglas county will take the Initiative on
the better country roads question tills spring
and work will be begun In about forty days.
Many other states have agitated this ques
tion and older counties than this are still
discussing the problem. This will not only
bo n good thing for the Douglas county
farmers , but It will bo the means of ex
pending $150,000 among the laboring classes.
At the meeting of the county commis
sioners yesterday afternoon Chairman Sten-
berg nnd County Clerk Sackett reported on
the disposal of $150,000 Improvement bonds ,
bearing 4V6 per cent Interest , payable seml-
annually , to Rudolph Kleybolto & Co. of
Cincinnati , for $151,582.10 , as follows :
Par value of bonds $150,000.00
Premium TOO.OO
Interest to February 23 , 1891 1,007.10
Printing bonds 73..00
Total $ 151,582.10
The cost of exprcssago and other expenses
incidental to the sale of the bonds amounted
to $169.55 and the county clerk turned over
to the county treasurer $151,112.55 , which will
bo expended this summer In building better
country roads. The roads selected for paving
nnd other Improvements are the extensions
of Dodge and Center streets and the Military
road. Chairman Stenbcrg said yesterday
that bids for contracts for paving and grad
ing would bo advertised for within the next
few days and at the expiration of thirty more
days the contracts would be awarded and
work begun as soon as the contractors could
make their arrangements.
These Improvement bonds were disposed of
at n neat profit for Douglas county. The
profit will amount to about $1,400 , making
about 1 per cent additional to the par value
of the bonds. Chairman Stenberg said that
ho understood that the state authorities had
arranged to purchase these bonds from the
Cincinnati purchasers as an Investment for
the state school funds. However , ho had no
definite Information regarding this Intended
purchase.
The bonds of the American Printing- com
pany to secure the contract for the comity
printing for 1894 wore approved , also these
of Fred T. Curtis as overseer of the Valley
township roads.
County Treasurer Irey asked that ho bo
allowed to retain his two former assistants ,
and ho wants additional clerical force to
assist In handling the tax sale business. The
matter was referred to the proper commit
tee.
tee.Tho
The commissioners allowed the bills for
labor and county officers and then adjourned
until Saturday , March 3 , at 2 p. in , , after
which the members met with Mr. Squires to
discuss paving matters , The committee on
rules was requested to meet with Commis
sioner Jenkins before Saturday to formulate
now rules to govern the deliberations of the
commissioners ,
