Notary Public Husslan royalty Is evidently not a devoti to long wedding engagements. This would not bo spring If the fcstli cyclone wcro not abroad In the land. Tah of miraculous escapes In the specially di vised cellars are beginning to como In wit their accustomed regularity. No prlma donna can retain her place I the front rank of opera singers In the : days without having a quarrel with a rlvi performer. Such quarrels nre the only It fallible tests of true musical talent. If the Hcnato expects to pass a tariff bl by May 1C , or cvon by Juno 1 , It will hav to do moro work and less deliberation tha It has been accustomed to perform In s short a time for a considerable time past. That Joy-O'Neill contested election cas In the house ot representatives refuses t remain In oblivion , although the final dc clslon In the matter has been had for severs weeks. It Insists upon being a Joy forevei If our school grounds are to receive any at tcntlon this year steps to provide for thel embellishment must bo taken without muc ! further delay. Let us know Just where th school board and park board stand In thl matter. The weekly crop report ot the Nebraski weather service gives evidence of encourag Ing prospects for the farmers In all parts o the state. A good season followed by a gooi harvest will bo a most powerful factor li reviving good tlmos. The Brn/lllan Insurgents threaten to re new their wordy war , probably In order ti help out the telegraph and cable companies which alone profit by the continued hostll itles. It Is time to call the dogs of war of nnd give the public a rest. San Francisco banks have so much Idle money In their vaults that they cannot flni ] borrowers enough with sufficiently safe se curity. The Midwinter fair cannot have gl\en the Impetus to other enterprises thai was reasonably expected of it. Senator Mills Is a trlflo behind the time' on his protection theory of taxation. Nc economist of any note still upholds the Idcn that taxation should bo apportioned accordIng - Ing to the protection which the taxpayer enJoys - Joys at the hands of the government. The ghost of the Holfcnsteln case bobs up once more. There Is nothing llko a chanca of securing a reversal of a decision upon some sort of technicality to urge lawyers on to catch at a contingent fee by prosecuting the most baseless claims to the last tribunal open to them. It must bo gratifying to the public as well as to these immediately concerned to know that the dinicultles ot the striking tailors have been satisfactorily adjusted. Omaha has been singularly free from labor troubles thus far this year and this early ending of the tailors' strike restores Industrial peace to every branch of business. Senator Mills thinks the federal Income tat Is Just the proper caper. Why didn't Mr. Mills incorporate an Income tax Into his celebrated Mills bill , which only some four years ngo ho lauded as perfection Itself ? \Vo can't understand how Mr. Mills over looked such a good thing when ho was framing his own ro\onuo measure. If the garbage haulers are violating the city ordinances by overcharging patrons who are Ignorant of the legal prices they should have their licenses revoked and bo arraigned for defrauding their customers. The garbage collection business In this city la In n chaotic state. Will the city authorities ever apply themselves seriously to bringing some order out of this chaos ? Senator niackburn Is quoted as saying that when the final vote comes on the pend ing tariff bill every democratic senator will bo found recording himself In favor of Its passage. That depends , of course , upon the definition which we apply to the term "dem ocratic senator. " Wo presume that If we follow Senator Illackburn will deny that any senator who dares to vote against the tariff bill can possibly assume 'to bo a dem ocrat. llcports from the larger cities In the tor- rltory naturally tributary to Omaha trade are to the effect that business Is rapidly re viving and that the prospocta for Increased activity are materially Improving. If Omaha Jobbers will but exert themselves a little moro than usual they will be able to attract the attention of merchants In tlieno cities and to Impress upon them the advantages which they will derive by purchasing their supplies In Omaha , New trade gained now Is the kind of trade that la worth having and that Is likely to bccomo permanent as soon as conditions again reach thu normal plane , Omaha hau an opportunity to cement her relations with the trade centers ot the territory Just west of us , nn opportunity which should not bo missed whllo clrcum- itmices are said to be no favorable. nn , When Cunningham It. Soil win rcspe fully Invoked to transfer the contempt ci brought agalnxt ttlwnrd Hose water to a one of the ether six Judges ot this dlatr on the ground of his pronounced hostll toward the accused the honorable Judge c llvercd himself of the following diatribe : It Is paid hero , by the defendant , that Is n common thing for the court , on accou of delicacy , to transfer a cause to nnoll court. Not where the court's own court h been assailed. The courts would have delicacy In protecting the honor and dlgnl of his own court. The Judge should have deltcncy whatever. In addition to that , simply know absolutely know that In tl case , as It will bo tried against you In tl court , you shall have an absolutely fair trl If you nro guilty you will bo punlshc If you are not guilty you will be acqulttc That Is the fact of the matter. I know i own lieirt , I think , about as well as an body else knows It , nnd I know that I nev yet have had n case before me , or an torncy before me , or anybody before m no matter what their feelings were , th could truthfully go away , or did go awa or because of any fcollng the court or t Judge may have had against them , and a they did not get a fair trial. 1 know y will got a fair trial lnfhls court. You sh : have It. I cannot afford to do anything cl but glvo you a fair trial. A Judge Is n put upon the bench to use his power to te down the people because they do not II ! him. That Is one of the God's blesslni about the courts of this country ; they a not organized to tear down people bccau they have the power. They are organlri to administer the law without regard to wl the parties are before them , nnd whencv I feel that I cannot and do not adinlnlst the law with an even hand , no matter wl the party Is before mo , I will cease to 1 Judge of this court. I never Imvo done I I never will do It. Never do I do anythlr but administer the law and keep my ej on the law and the rights of the partli and never think who the parties are. am not hero for that purpose. I would 1 degrading myself In my own estimation i do anything else. Now , the e'sentlal elements of a fair trh are that the accused shall be confrontc with witnesses , and the verdict rendsrc shall bo In accordance with the law and tli evidence produced. What evidence was thcr producsd to Justify or even to palliate a cot \Ictlon ? J. D. Haynes , managing editor of The Ilei called by the state , testified on the point n Issue as follows : Q. I will call your attention , Mr. Hayne : to the article published in The evening lie of Maich 9 and headed "Justice Wllhot Equality ; " do you know us a matter of fai whether or not Mr. llosewatcr ever saw tha article before It was published ? A. I knoi tint he did not. QYou are In charge what are you duties as managing editor ? A. I take It t be having control of the news columns. Q. Will you state whether or not yo know of your own knowledge whether Mi Ilosewater instructed this article to b written ? A. I hoard no such Instructions Q You would have known It , would yoi If it were given ? A. I ought to hav known it. - Q. I will call your attention to this par jf the article : "Justice without equality sentences adjusted to lit the man ; one part' : o a crime gets a live-years' sentence in thi icnltentlary , while another gets the benefl jf a pull" Do you Know who wrote that \-Yes , I think I do. Q. Did Mr. llosewatcr ? A. No , sir. Q Do you know when this article wni jrought to Mr. Itosewater's knowledge ? A I do not know the date ; I know about whei t was. Q. When was H In reference to the publl : ation ? A. Well , I bellove It was the nex lay. lay.Q. Q. Who brought It to his attention ? A -So far ns I know. It came to his attentlor > y reason of a card written by the county at orney. Q. Kalcy ? A. And sent to me. Q Is that the first Mr. Ilosewater knew if It ? A. The first that I knew that IK : new of It. Mr. W. D. Pcrclvnl , court reporter for The 3eo , testified as follows : Q. You know the article published In Tin Jvenlng Dee of March 9. 1891 , with a head ng , "Justice Without Equality , " do you1 1. I do. Q. I will ask you to state who wrote thai .rtlclo ? A. With the exception of the slut lead , I wrote it. Q. Mr. Perclval , state whether or nol Jr. Hosewnter over Instructed you , dlrectlj r Indirectly , to write that portion of the rticle set forth in the complaint In this ase ? A. These two paragraphs ? Q. Yes. A. No , sir. Q. I will ask you If you know whether t was over submitted to him ? A. I dc ot know. I know that ho was not orouml he building that afternoon. Q. When did you write It ? A. I wrote ; for the afternoon paper , probably be- ween 12 and 2. Q. Do you. know what time you handed : In ? A. Well , it was before 3 o'clock ; do not know the exact hour. Q. Have you over had any directions per- inally from Mr. llosewatcr with regard i articles of court reporting , In regard to lie officers of the court ? A. No , sir. Q State whether or not Mr. Ilosewater iw the headlines before it was published ? . I think not. Ho was not around the irtco that afternoon. Q. Do you know where ho was ? A. At 10 police court. The defendant's testimony was also taken , nd ho further denied having any knowl- Igo or Information concerning the article > mplalnod of until after his attention had Jen called to It by the letter of the county ttorney. In the face of this positive testimony , un- lallengcd and unimpeachable , Judge Scott mdcrcd a verdict of guilty and passed scn- inco of both Imprisonment and line. His irdlct was made up before one word of stlmony had been given , and the sentence as known about town before the consclon- ouis. Judge had taken his seat , and this Is 10 of Scott's absolutely fair trials. AVas cr surh travesty on Justice witnessed in iy American court ? Does not the ranting d stand fcclf-convlctcd and hypocrite - selt- igradcd before the people by his own acts ? Ho had pledged his honor to glvo the ac- iscd an absolutely fair trial to acquit him the proofs did not bear out the charge at ho had willfully and maliciously caused o publication of an alleged libel upon his urt. Ho had solemnly declared that It Is 10 of God's blessings that our courts are it organlyod to tear down people ; and ho iwcd before God and the people that ho ver would do anything In administering slice but keep his cje "upon the law and e rights of the parties and never think 10 the parties ore. " And yet In three abort weeks all these lomn pledges v < ere forgotten and shamo- isly violated. In passing sentence this It-branded perverter of Justice declared tit the evidence In this case had brought t no now facts to the attention of the urt. It presents this square , slmplo propo- lon , whether the editor of n newspaper 10 Is , to the knowledge of every man , mmn and child In the city of Omaha , unty of Douglas and state of Nebraska , not In every stale In the union , hostile illclously hostile toward the personnel of Is court , shall bo adjudged guilty of crlm.- Uly libeling the court on general prlncl- ' 3. 3.Old Old Judge Scott keep his eye solely upon ) law and the rights of the accused anc never think who was the party on trial , did he not deliberately pervert the ends Justlro nnd degrade the bench by using t power vented In the courts for gratify his pent-up vetiKeanco ? Will lie now st down from the bench which ho has dlsgrac or will ho continue to glvo play to his In prcsslblo passion and \lndctlvo ! temper ? IXIHAX.l The Indiana republican Rtato conventlc hold yesterday , wan the most numerously r tended In the history of the slate. It w a convention of enthusiastic , earnest , ca fldont republicans , satisfied with the pa and having faith In the future of the part The republicanism of Indiana Is ot t stalwart kind. It survives dofcit nnd r turns to every recurring contest with r newed vigor and hope. In this respect Is the sort of republicanism that should ' everywhere nnd which will bo found mo general this year than for several yea past. Two yearn ago Indian ! gave h vote to the democratic candidate , rcjcctli her distinguished Ron , Ilcnjamln Harrlso by a plurality of a llttlo over 7,000. : common with the people of all the reef of the country , her people have seen tl mistake that was then made. Her vnlilab Industries have suffered , thousands ot In worklngmen have been without cmploymei and largo numbers are still so. Hvery li tcrcst upon which her citizens depend for su slstcnco has been damaged , and her mater ! progress has been retarded. Indiana mr not have had n harder experience Ilia other states as a consequence of democrat policy , but It has been HUfftrlonlly sevci to cause them to seriously reflect , and tl result Is an anxiety , also everywhere con mon , to record their protest against the pr < posed policy which is responsible for the d : prcsslon nnd disaster. Hcnco It Is tin the republican convention was the large : over held In the state , for the people ai aiouscd as by on appeal for self-preaerv : tlon. tlon.The The platform adopted Is an unqiiallfle avowal of belief In the rcpa'JIem dortrlr of protection and reciprocity , "which fui n la lies a homo market for the products i our factories and our farms and protecl the American laborer against the compel tlon of the pauper labor ot nurope. " ] denounces the action of the democratic part In attempting to eliminate from our tarl system the reciprocity principle and fc seeking to overthrow and destroy the Amei lean Industrial system , holding this cours of the party In power responsible for th llsastrous business depression , the vns number of Idle people and the Increase c the Interest-bearing public debt. In re gard to the currency , the platform declare In favor of gold , sliver and paper readll convertible at a fixed standard of vnlu and entirely under national control , an denounces the avowed purpose of the demo cratlo party to restore the era of wlldca money. The republicans of Indiana favo * liberal construction of the pension laws demand a rigid enforcement of oxlstlnj Immigration laws , nnd denounce the us at federal patronage by the Cleveland ad nlnlstratlon to Influence the action of th legislative branch of the government , Ux-I'resldent Harrison made ji rlnglni speech to the convention. While dccltn ng , as Inappropriate to the occasion , t < inter Into a full discussion of republlcai irlnclplcs , though promising to do so durlnf : he campaign , he made some pertinent ani .finely observations as to the effects of pro. losed democratic policy. Referring to tin inrest , distrust and apprehension , Genera [ larrlson said ho believed that "all tin : umult of this wild sea would bo stlllei is by the voice of Omnlpotenco If the grea ndustrial and commercial classes of thi : ountry could know today that there woult > e no attempt to strike down protection Ir Vmerlcan legislation. " The referano3 made > y General Harrison to silver will probablj ittract considerable attention as showing hi : alth In an International agreement In the lot remote tuture a faith which the signs com to fully warrant. THE ibDusrniAr , ARMIES , As might have been expected many of the rlstocratle newspapers of the east persist in nlsrepresentlng the characters of the men omprlslng the Kelly and Coxey armies and he purposes for which they have been organ- zed and put Into1 motion. It is doubtless ue as much to this willful and continued ilsrepresentatlon that the armies are meet- ng with such outbursts of genuine sympathy nd phllanthrophy from the people of the ommunltles through which they are passing , 'ho ' approach of the army Is a revelation to lioso who have been told that It li "a mere ollectlon of tramps and criminals yvho de- beratcly refuse work every day of their ves nnd enjoy marching through the coun- ry In mobs and living on the farmers and illagers. " People who are looking , for "a lass of strolling beggars with the tastes nnd lanners of savages" nro wonderfully di op- olnted when they see an orderly crowd of oorly clad but earnest and Intelligent loolc- ig men. Requests for assistance are lion- red where threats would bo Indignantly re siled. The purposes of these armies have been kowlso systematically perverted. Speaking : the Kelly host , for example , the Chicago ribuno Insists that It does not want to work id would not work if It could. "It has , " continues , "been led to believe that when gets to Chicago It will bo received by lousands of sympathizers , that It can levy * m the community for food and comfortable eeplng quarters , nnd live hero In clover , liat Is the only sentiment which urges It rward. If It were possible for the police ithorltles of Chicago to sele every man of elly's army as soon as It came within the ty limits and set him to work ft would ako n wide detour around Chicago and con- mo Its march to Washington rather than sk the danger of being put to work. Labor the last thing these armies of tramps and grants want. Ileal worklngmen out of iploy ncnt do not go tramping through the untry , subsisting upon charity or seizing or ! subsistence by violence or theft. It ) Uld be the hardest blow these armies have er received If the government should take em at tholr word and furnish them with irk. " In the same strain the Now York Evening st nays : "What the army wants Is bacon , ilsky , hominy , pie and the like , without irking for them. " U furthermore Intimates nt the members of the army are uccua- ncd to ledge In almshouses during the nter nnd to roam through the country In minor. To cap the climax of Its of- mtory the Post reprints , under the cap- n "Somo Good American Talk , " the gen- illy condemned Interview with Judge Hub- rd , the Northwestern railroad attorney , In ilch ho asserts that his road would haul j army neither for love nor money and reatens to ditch any train upon which the n y might attempt to ride over Us track , liy this should appear to any ono to be oed American talk" must pass the com- ihenslon of the ordinary man. The very fact that these armies have kept tosolhi-r no long * h. > wi that their purpo Is to BI \VnshltiKlon rather than forage upon the coitnh'y on thn way Tin Imve already pnsscJ through Inrge cities nt displayed uo dl po ( tjon to tarry longer thn absolutely necessary.

Tlio truth Is that the could obtain ningly both the food nnd trans portatlon which la now denied them. Th armies have a firmly sot purpose to prescti their grievances In person before congres In Washington nnd they nro not lo be dt terrcd from It by offers of one or two day work to a few of their mcmbjrs. Dccaus they refuse offer * of work trumped up fo the especial purpose of demoralizing nn disrupting their forces affords no Justified tlon for the onslaught of epithets now bcln hurled against them In the eastern press. i ! srorrx I'onriiAir. The Encyclopaedia Hritannlcu draws th following charcoal sketch of Judge "Jel freys : " "Voluble , unscrupulous nnd overbearing ho developed the coarse , bullying mannc which degraded him throughout his who ! career.

" HASrAi.i , .i.vn nn : riA Councilman Hascall's effort to get tin Sixteenth street viaduct closed nnd compe the running of cars to South Omaha by waj of Thirteenth street Is all horse play. It 1- nothing inorj nor less than nn effort to plaj a confidence game on men whose votes he needs In order lo bo re-elected next fall , Hascall Is as much nn attachment of the street railway company as are its motors ind trolleys. He would not dare to serlouslj antagonlro the s > treet railway managers anymore moro than he does the managers of the rail roads , who by rights and by law are re- lulrcd to rebuild the Sixteenth street vla-luct , It Is proper and eminently Just that the street railway company shall be required to [ iay a reasonable portion of the cost of keepIng - Ing In repair the viaducts over which they liavo the rlcht of way. The question Is , why docs not the council enforce the law relating to viaducts and compel the railroad companies to comply with the ordinances tor the construction 6f new viaducts at Fifteenth and Slxteentlistrosts. These viaducts are Imperatively depianded 'or public travel and tot the safety of people , vho are compelled to cross the railroad : racks on the south side. The protection igalnst accidents liable to occur every hour it grade crossings' Is hi the Interest of the allroads and their mana'gers shou'd no longer jo permitted to evade the requirements of .he law. In other cities the railroads cheer- 'ully ' build viaducts wherever they can be irected across their tracks on public horoughfares.f' In the larger eastern cities ind In western cltles'tho railroads are spend- ng millions in raising their railroad tracks ir building tunnels to avoid grade crossings , ind the risks and delays of traffic Incident hereto. Why cannot the railroads that lave been given millions of dollars worth of treots for right-of-way have the decency to mild at least ono of the two viaducts for vhlch plans have been adopted nnd ordl- lances passed more than a year ago ? The dea that they have not the money to build rtth Is the merest subterfuge. Suppose ono r two of their trains were wrecked by ojllslon , or suppose there was a washout hat destroyed miles of their tracks and ridges , wouldn't they ralso the money some /ay to replace the destroyed rolling stock nd rebuild the bridges and roadway ? How oes the Union Pacific , In spite of Its bank- uptcy , manage to pay the Interest on Its rtt mortgage bonds ? How does the Durling- on manage to get enough money to build xtcnslons into Montana that cost three or ) ur millions ? The fact Is Omaha will never get fair reatment at the hands of the railroads so ) ng as she does not fight for It and so long s she allows herself to b8 Imposed upon , /hen it comes to a show-down and the city ttempts to grapple with the railroads In ead earnest It is safe to predict that Hascall 111 manage to turn a sharp corner and give lo city the double cross. Ho never was nown to walk over a straight rood If there as a crooked path anywhere In sight. His yratlons about the street railroads vacating 10 Sixteenth street viaduct are of a pleco 1th all his other acrobatic and slelght-of- ind performances.

Hunter originally had a walkover for this place , but withdrew from the contest when he thought ho had a chance for the marshalshlp , which was given to Knink llradbury , Tom How man's candi date. Hunter Is In the race for postmaster again and expects to land It. The poitolllre and postromls committee of the senate will take up the nominations of Mr. Tlnsley , to bo postmaster at Sioux Falls , and Dr. Tumor at Yankton , at their meeting next Tuesday. Senator I'cttlgrew has received a protest slj > ni > il by 200 cnl/ens of Vnnkton against the confirmation of Mr Turner. The street commissioner of Yank- ton writes a letter to the sonalor Raying he does not know that Dr. Turner Is a resident of Yankton. Among other appointments expected next week Is that of supervising Inspector of steam vessels for the Upper Missouri dis trict. Although there are a number of can didates , the Indications point to the selection of Commodore Colson of South Dakota , un less the president should dccldo Colson too old for the place. The term of the pension agent for Iowa and Nebraska expires In about two weeks , There are seven or eight candidates.
