THE OMAHA DAILY KIBE : THURSDAY , APRIL m 1891. DISGRACE TO THE BENCH How Many Oitizeus Express Themselves with .Respect to Judge Scott. ALL SPITE WORK IN THE CONTEMPT CASE Precedent Hint Would Ho nmiRerou * Wcro U Not Ontriljteoiin-IlrliiBH tbo Court Into DlRrcipcct Wlml "tho 1'voplo" Think. "Tin' people , " wlioso liberties Judfje Scott Is so fond of talking about , arc not at all backward In exprcsslnR tliclr opinion of the way In which tlio Irnnclblo Judge pretends to bo defcmllnK the "dlKnlty" of free and Impartial courts. Herewith are printed further Interviews concerning the contempt case : A. II. Comstock of the Omaha Printing Company The proceedings In the Scott- Hoscwnter cnso were disgraceful. So far as I know they nre without a parallel In the Judic ial history of this country. There can bo only one thought In connection with the Incnr- ruratlon of Mr. Koiowater In the county Jail. U will do Scott Infinitely more harm than Mr. Hosewater , whom I have belle\cd gen erally right upon all mailers concerning the veal of the city nnd state. Councilman Albert Calm It makes me mad vheii I think of the spleen shown by Judge Scott toward Ilosewater. Why , Ihe worst criminal on carlh is accorded rights which , from the reading of the proceedings yester day , were denied the editor of The Hee. The bench Is not safe when men like Scott oc cupy It. Senator A. II. Urlggs Scott has got four Kinds of wheels In his head nnd all going In opposite directions. W. J. Carroll Judge Scotl , had he pursued n proper course and cited Mr. Hosewater to nppear before one of Iho olhcr Judges nnd show the fraud alleged to have been com mitted In the Jnrdlne mailer , would have probably como off vlclorlous. Uut he allowed Ills personal prejudice and spile to get the beller of him and Is now Ihe laughing stock of the community. No lawyer would care lo practice before n Judge who Is fo ab'olutely swayed by prejudices as he has shown In this case. John A. Wnkcfleld A man who has such a violent temper as Scotl and has such blllcr animosities which ho can not keep from showing and venting Is not n ni man to bo on the district bench. Is It true that he cannot ho Impeached until the legislature meets ? W. II. Alexander I am not familiar with nil the facts , as I have been away , but It beems to me that n fine would have been suulclcnt , even If It was found proper and Just lo punish. The Jail sentence looks \ery much like spite work , and the exhibition of spite on the part of the court Is not calcu lated to do away with contempt John Grant When I heard about the case este lay I wondered what Scolt thoughl of himself and of what his dreams must bo after he went to sleep. It looks to me ns though ho thought that this might be his last nnd only chance to gratify his spite against Ilosewater and he determined lo lake adsanlage of It at whato\cr sacrilege of law- cm ! Justice. Charles Belmlorff I have not looked Into the case very carefully , but It seems to me that the action of Judge Scott was auto cratic and unjust. I don't belie * e in cur tailing the liberty of the press. How are we to know whether judges and other public ofllclals do their duly unless Ihelr conduct is revealed In the newspapers ? Only a small pioportion of Ihe people ha\e any opportu nity of judging for themselves of the Illness of any public oincer. It looks to me thai Ihe court has overstepped all bounds In his de sire to get even with Hosewater. A line of J3 would have been ns complelS a vindica tion of what ho Is pleased to term the dignity of the court as the sentence which was Im posed. Oeorge J. Paul Its \ pretty tough when n newspaper cannot criticise the conduct of n public official without being Imprisoned by the omnipotent mandate of the very man whose conduct was called In question. George S. Smith In cases like these the jusllce of such a sentence would depend largely on the circumstances of the case. Uut In the Hosewatcr case , -where It was bhown that Mr. Hosewater was entirely ig norant of the publication of the article , there Is no question In my mind but that the court carried Its power too far. W. G. Shrlvcr What's the mailer wllh thin man Scolt ? Is ho crazy ? He Is get ting worse all the time. I don't sympathize with Hosewatcr as much as I would If he wasn't responsible for Scott's being on the bench. If ho hadn't picked Seotl up nnd boomed him nobody else would have thought of him. I guess Scott Is a good judge when lie keeps his head , but when ho gets mad lie goes all to pieces , and ho Is gelling mad altogether too oflen. G. II. Frederick Of all Iho proceedings on a judicial bench that I ever heard of this is the most outrageous. Why , that man Is a blanket ? blanked fool. There are fools and fools In this world , but any sensible man must discriminate In favor of all Ihe rest of them and against this great Scott. * A. J. Hnnscom Even If Rosewater was guilty of conlcmpt the punishment was out of all reason. Scott ought lo have had sense enough lo know lhat such a Ihlug wouldn't go down In a community of justice-loving people. I don't wonder that the bar Is all down on him and I would like to know why they don't go ahead with that Burl counly matter. "Uncle Dick" McCormlck II is getting so that cltlreiiH have no rights that a court is .bound to respect , and I have concluded thai the best thing for mo to do Is to stay right hero on my own sidewalk. To tell the truth , I dm guilty of n whole lot of contempt myself. 13. L. nierbower I don't know much about ] nw , but common sense Impels the belief that the courl went entirely lee far. If Ihero v\us conlcmpt It probably oughl lo be pun ished , but such n dose as this was unques tionably too much , even if Mr. Hosowater vas responsible for the publication. II. Hehfeld , wholesale grocer I think Bcotl's decision was very unfair , nnd feel that the judge has greatly lowered the ( llgnlly of Iho courts. James A. Clark , wholesale commission mtr- clmnl I have not made m > bclf familiar with Iho merlin of Ihe case , bul even It Mr. Ilosewaler was guilly of contempt , Iho son- tcnco was far too harsh and savored of jii'isoiinl nmllco on Ihu parl of Scott. N. II. Nelson , manager for 13. I ) . Branch ' & . Co. , commission merchants Have not studied the cni > o In dol.il ! , but I am deeply impressed lhat Scott hah been carrying things too far , and in a disgracefully high handed manner. It Is such tilings ns tlili that maKcb our courts and laws a farce. William Glass , manager for Lee , Clarke , 'Amlreoson , wholesale htmluato dealers The general opinion la that the scnlencc 1m- ijosed upon Mr. Ilosewaler by Scolt was most unjust. There du not seem to mo to lm\o been any grounds for Scott's calling Mr. Hosowater into court. U Is not ut nil creditable lo our courts when such pro ceedings are couulenunced. W. A. L. Gibbon , wholesale hat manu facturer I know nothing aboul Iho legal lisped of the case , bul It would appear more equitable and just to have tried Mr. Hohcwatcr In another court , where the judge vas not personally hut-rented. The fiee- duin of the press Is bomctlmes abused , but ( ho methods resorted to in this case mo certainly qucsllonablo. If not dangerous. Samuel Hees. president of the Itecs Print ing company The time for holding nn editor responsible for all Hint goes Into his paper liaa passed. The paper ls possible for real damages to the reputations of persons fMioao characters have been assailed. Aboul the most farcical Ihlnga In Ihls country are our courts and the law as practiced before mid in most of them. Thomas Kllpatrlck , ot Kllputrlclc , Koch , pholesalo dry goods I consider It a great Danger to our liberties and a disgrace to our city and stale , and proper slept * should Lo taken na soon as possible lo remove Iho Judge from the bench by Impeachment or otherwise. I Imvo no doubt that the judge Is , na a private citizen , a good mini , am ! in cans to do what Is right. Ilobcrt Cow ell , manager ot Kllpatrlck , Koch Dry Goods company I know Judge Bcott. and once had an Important ca&a bo lero him. tlo then acted BO sensibly that I can hardly bellevo that ho was sober when Jio was hearing Mr. Uosownter's case. Per sonally. I feel that the whoto proceeding is a disgrace to the bench. While It U possible that The Boo may have been some linrili In HH expression * mnde In men tioning the Jnrdlno cnnc , yet , In my Judg ment , no action of Mr. HoBowatcr or any thing which has appeared In The Ucc could possibly Justify the action of the Judge. M. II. Hedfleld To any the least , the whole proceeding showed very bad taste upon the part of Judge Scott. I am not pre pared to say whether or not there was a case of contempt against Mr. Ilosewater. If there was , common decency would have dictated that Scott turn the matter over to sonic of the other Judges , of whom there arc six. Ily Judge Scott's conducting the case accord ing lo his particular Ideas , It looks ns though ho had a personal axe which ho was over anxious lo grind. One Ihlng lhat I think la ccrlaln Is that Scott has hurt himself more In the estimation of the public Ulan he has hurt Mr. Hosewatcr. i : . M. Slcnhcrg. chairman of the Hoard of County Coinmlnsloncrs I know nothing nbout Ihe merits of Iho case , aside from Ihu slcnographlc rcporls of Iho pretended trial. These reports I have read , and from a care ful weighing of Ihe testimony I cannot figure out how Scott succeeded In adjudging Mr. Hosewaler guilty of any contempt of court. When the supreme court comes to review Ihe case. I nm of Ihe opinion Hint the Scott verdict will be set aside. The whole prose cution look on Ihe form of a persecution and looked as tjiough It wn n studied effort to abridge the right of n newspaper to dis cuss the merits of a case that had appar ently passed beyond the jurisdiction of Iho courts. , . Allen T. Hector I regard the acllon of Judge Scott ns an Imposition. It looks as though ho was prostituting his ofllce and the Inleresls of jusllce lo grallfy his per sonal spile against Mr. Hosewater. Such conduct as this will soon bring courls Inlo disrepute. Herman Drlslmus , vice president of the Gate City Hat compan > It seems very ap parent thai Judge Scoll has n grudge ngalnst Mr. Hosewaler. I don't know much nbout law , but Ihe ncllon of Ihe couit appears very Inconsistent. How ho could fine n re porter for wilting nn nrtlcle nnd then turn around and punish another man for the same article I cannot understand. Comptroller Olscn I nm not n lawyer , but It seems strange to mo that Mr. Hose\\ater could be convicted for contempt , when , as far n I have learned , ho had neither writ ten nor read the urtlclo In qucbtlon , John II ruroy AH lo Iho merits of the case I have no opinion beyond llml which Is being expressed by almost every other cit izen. I have lived In Omaha for more than twenty-eight jears. I have seen Judge Lake , Judge Savage , Judge Uoane , Judge Wakeley and the ninny other men who iiro the associates of Judge Scolt on the bench nnd when I find lhat Scott Is the only per son In nil Ihesc venrs who feels that he Is held In contempt I feel like asking myself how Is It lhat these other men so grandly get along without Ihesc rough places In their judicial path ? Dr. Tonne I am not afraid of Judge Scott , but I guess If I let him alone he will let me nlone. Gns Inspector Gilbert Wasn't It n hades of n proceeding though ! The sentence was unreasonably severe and thcio was appar ently no legal ground for a conviction at all. Judge Sootl will certainly never wear nn of ficial lille In Nebraska ngaln. City Clerk Wakeley It was simply absurd to send Mi. Hosewnter lo jail. I heard nil of Iho evidence when Mr. Perclval was Irled for w riling Iho nllegcd contemptuous article , bul the evidence In the Hoscwater Investigation showed that gentleman was In no manner responsible for it , nnd In my opinion the judgment of the court was un just. just.Clly Clly Treasurer Bolln The senlence was an outrage and was nol justified in Ihe sllghl- cst degree. Fire Chief Galligan It was an uncalled for and unjust verdict. Mr. Hoscwater has always been n leading and highly respected citizen , who has not only built n magnifi cent structure for his own business , but has helped others to do the same. Uulldlni ; Inspector IJeverell The sentence was without justification. Every man charged with n crime should be given a fair nnd Impartial trial. I do not consider that Mr. Hosewater was given Justice In any de gree. . C. B. Coon , assistant building inspector It Ecems to nio that if the dignity of the court was nil that Scotl wanled lo sustain he would have been satisfied by administer ing a fine of J10 or $25. An excessive fine could nol have given any more satisfaction and Ihe jnil sentence goes beyond nil de cency. Jlr. Hosewaler is nol only a prom inent clll/en of Omaha , hut Is familiarly known all over the stale and Ihe people In general will nol excuse Scoll for lacking on that jail scnlencc. Mr. J. II. Wlnspear , chairman of the Board of Public Works I don't know any thing about the legal polnls In the case , but the language that Scott used In delivering his grand stand speech was nn outrage and did not touch on the merits of the case. FJven If Scott believed Hosewater guilly n flue would have been sufllclent to sustain Ihe dlgnlly of Iho court without adding a Jnll sentence. I want to say that I consider a Judge as'propcr a person to criticise in Ihe public press as a prlvalo citizen , If ho does wrong. He should not be exempt from crlllclsm by any means , for if lhat be denied our American liberties are gone. 0. A. Melcher , South Omaha From what I know of the case Mr. Hosewatcr was not guilty of contempt any more than some man who had never heard of Scotl. It looks like a case ot getting even on some other ptopo- sillon. L. C. Gibson , Soulh Omaha If I were to express whal 1 honestly H-Ilovc I would pay that Scotl had Fen Is circles in his head. John Flynn , Soulh Omaha The sentence was an oulrago , and from whal Information I can get by reading verbatim reports In The Uee , the Judge must either be crazy or else ho has a sinister object In view , Mavor no. Johnston of South Omaha I have nothing to say on the verdict except that the people of this city seem to bo pretty much of the same opinion as those who have expressed themselves. W. II. Klnkald of St. Paul I met Mr. Hosewoter in Washington some lime ngo , and because of llml acquaintance I rend the court proceedings with a great deal of In terest as I came in on Ihe Iraln today from Denver. What are jour qualifications for judgcship here In Omaha a parole tickel from nn insane asylum ? How n sane man could arrive at a decision of guilty In the face of the Htnte's own evidence. Is some thing I cannot comprehend. IH'iimimcd ait u I'akp. OMAHA , April 23. To the Rdllor of The Bee : I notice In Ihe Morning World-Herald of Ihls date n statement that Is so false nnd misleading that I feel thai II should not bo allowed lo pass without u correction. Hefcrrlnij lo the alleged contempt case against Mr. Cdwaid Koseuatcr. which came on before Juilgo Cunningham H. Scott > es- tcrday , an article In the Wet Id-Herald said "R. Hosewuter bpcnt jCNteiday afternoon In jail. Ho was not put In a cell , but occupied the same room and chair which fell to the lot of Mosher Inadvei tenthWhen the dinner hum came he sent to the rcstauiaut for his meal , slillilng , ns chance would have U , Iho same house which furnished the buiK wrecker's tuhlo iml llio editor , food for body and editorials , lebpectlvely. " The facts uro simply thcbo , Mr. Hose- walei was broughl lo Iho jail al about noun nnd remained there until his release on un order from Ihtf biipreme couit. He remained In Iho olllco of Ihe jail and did not occupy nny particular chair. The "loom" was nut the .Mosher room , but was blmply the busi ness ofllce , wheru visitors nro received nnd business lunsactcd. IK'gardlng the dinner , I want to say that the whole story is a falsehood , which origi nated in iho fcrllle Imagination of some In dividual who was not knowing Ihe facts , or who willfully distorted Ihe same for some unknown purpose. Mr. Hosowater did not send out for his dinner , but , Instead , he ate with the prisoners , partaking of the regula tion jail fare , occupying n scat at the largo table In Iho dining or assembly room. Sev eral parties scut word tu Mr. Hosewliter that his dinner would bo sent lo him , but to all ot these turtles he replied that ho was content with jail faro uiul wanted nothing sent In from his frlcmU on the outside. I do not fancy that Mr. Hosowulcr felt ex tremely lonesome while In my custody , for during the afternoon scores ot the prominent business and professional men ot the city called upon him , among whom were Andrew J , Simpson , Dr. S.

To the Editor of The Bee. I often meet wllh people who call themselves Christians. Some of them nro church members , others , while not be longing to nny particular denomination , still claim to believe In the leachlngs of the bible , nnd they have an nttnck of n sort of righteous Indignation when they hear n man expressing sympalliy for iho poor for Ihoso asking for work or for bread. They seem lo think It wrong lo glvo n hungry man bread , although the bible says "Ho thai hnlli pity upon Ihe poor Icndelh lo Ihe Lord " And Christ says In the sermon on the mount , ( which I would recommend lo be carefully read by ev ervbody ) , "Give to him llml askelh thcc , nnd from him that would bor row of thee turn not away. " "Oh , but , " say some , "that means If they nro worthy , " Christ docs not say thai ; bul n llllle fur- Iher on In iho name sermon lie says , "Thai yo may ho Ihe children of your Father which Is In heaven , for he makclh the sun to rise upon the evil and upon Ihe good , and sendclh rain on Ihe Just and on the unjust. " Does not this clearly mean lhat the Christian must be benevolent to Iho evil ns well as lo the good , and to Iho unjttsl as well as lo the just' Will some one ex plain how a person can bo a Christian and not follow the teachings of the New Tcsta- tncnt ? Is It true , ns Tolstoi says , thai Ihe Christiana of the day arc so far away fiom Iho real leachings of Christ that they do not oven know what they mean ? * rit\Mt wii.cox co.

On Sunday evening , the 29th Inst. , a union service of Ihe congregations of liie Asso ciate Mission churches In Omaha , namely , St. Paul's , St. Andrew's , St. Augustine's and St. John's , will bo held nt St. Paul's church , Twpnty-secoml and California streels. .At a recent neatlne'of the officers of the parochial schoolof the Asboclale Mission It was proposed that on the last Sunday evenIng - Ing of April and May and the last Sunday morning in June , respectively , a union service be held In one or another of these churches. This suggestion met with much favor and the arrangements are now about completed. Dean Gardner will preach al St. Paul's , while Hev. Irving P. Johnson nnd Rev. Paul Matthew will conduct the services nt St. Andrew's nnd SU John's. The vesled choirs of St. John's and St. Andrew's will attend all the seivices. Con siderable Interest Is being manifested in these approaching gatheilngs of Episcopali ans identified with the work of the energetic and zealous jonuB priests of the Associate Mission. It Is axpectcd that these meetings will promote the feeling of fellowship among the several congregalions and emphasize lo Iho laity the association principle underlying the work of the clergy. Bishop Worthlnglon , fully realizing how Important a field of usefulness Is occupied by these clergymen , has generously provided moans for electing a spacloiib clergy house for their use on the beautifully shaded cor ner lot of St. John's church property , al Twenty-sixth nnd Franklin strcctb , nt nn expense approximating $5,000. Ground will be broken for Iho foundation within a fort night. The parochial school will be located in the guild hall adjoining , which will bo enlarged for Iho purpose by the addition of a second story.

"It is the mind that makes the man , " said Watts , but modern ethics deny this , and give the credit to the tailor. It is questionable , however , if the latter is correct , Don't be a ready made man , is the tailor's motto , but be a "Man $ rec\cly" to part with your money like a fool. On the other $ hand the man of mind will keep his money and become f "ready made" and appear as stylish as a tailor's victim. The Nebraska does not wish to pose as a dress re ft former , nor begin a crusade against tailoring1 , but as it ai- Q ways does protect the public by legitimate advertising We handle tailor made clothing by it we mean we sell ffi clothing made by the leading wholesale tailors of the coun- fl try we claim that we'll furnish you with a tailor-made & suit wlv'ch contains equal virtues to the one your tailor 9 makes made by hand finished by hand buttonholed by fi hand a point stronger , if you please many a garment that'll furnish a model for the average local tailor. t 4 It is also reasonable to assert we show more styles. A 6 score of manufacturers , competitively inclined , will surely 4 produce more novel things than a tailor with one brain k We show full ' -Regents , " in both sacks and frocks ditto 6 in half "Regents" 3-button "Yale" in sacks or frocks and 6 likewise in Piccadillys , and a some few more typical and w perfect frame fitting garments. 4 And the cloth a tailor might call it suitings is in many instances far better than in the suit you pay double of our price for. We show imported and domestic wors- f teds , thibets , cassimeres , unfinished worsteds , clays , ox- f fords , serges etc. , draped artistically with silk serge , satin - or perhaps less fancy and more durable materials and the T prices are a good deal less than A Spring Catalogue ?
