LINCOLN , Sept. 17.-(8pecla ( Telegram- )
The supreme court yesterday mornIng filed n
decisIon In the case or w. D. Percival , plaintiff
In error , against the State or Nebraska , reversing -
versing the judgment or the dIstrict court or
Douglas county and dIscharging the plalntlU
In crror.
The supreme court holds that the article
publish In The Omaha EvenIng Dee or
March 9 , 1891. upon whIch the contempt of
court case was founded , was not IIbellouf1
per se , ns only by Innuendo could It be con- ,
' trucd ns rttacl"ng the veracity or Judge
Cunningham R. Scott.
The court says : "Tho Ian gila go of the
portion ! or the article proved or admitted by
the plllntltr ! In error to be his production
cannot be saId upon Its face and without an
Innuendo to apply or refer to the court proper , I
or Its officers , or to Jurors or witnesses , or
to one f more than another or to be libelous
per se , , or that It clearly charges , as Is stated
In the complaint , that the court was corrupter
or influenced by corrupt motives or to 80
charge with reference to any one more than
another. It cannot bo Bald upon Its face to
refer to any cabs pending nt the time It was
wrItten and published , or to any designated
cllse. The phrase "possessed or n pull , ' III to
speak strIctly , without an Intelligible meaning .
Ing allll Is In any event so doubtful and uncertaIn -
certaIn that It cannot be applied as Imputing
that the court was corrupt as Is claimed In
I the complaInt with any greater certaInty
. than It may . be saId to refer to some other
\ person or persons or to actions or motives
erroneous and Improper , but not corrupt. "
The decIsIon was wrltttln by Justice Uarrl-
Ion.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 17.-Reports to the
Treasury department shows , $250,000 Ln gold
was wIthdrawn tOday tram the subtreasury
'
al New York for export , npd that $250.000
In gold was deposited by a Rochester bank
whIch offsets the withdrawals , leavIng the
'
true amount or the reserve . at the close of
busIness 95382528. Under normal conditions -
tlons , the treasury gains eomq gold every day
banks In all of the sublressury cities prefer
to exchange for notes any sinall amount or
gold they may take In over tbelrr counters
and especially ! If theIr coIn serve , Is in no
need of replentshlng During the last few
weeks the aggregate or'theso ' deposits has
been conslderable the offers or large amounts
however , have not been plentiful , except when
accompanied by conditions , the department
could not aecept. Scv\lral \ 'ofrers or small
amounts have been lately made , with the
stipulation that the department pay expresagc
both ways , but as there Is no approprIation fOr
these purposes , these oUers have been de-
cUned .
It was said at the department the most
generous offers of gold nearly always come
from the banks of Chicago and SL Louis
and when gold Is scarcest , these banks always
comb forward and express a willingness to
help out. \t New York today , $436,000 In
large United States notes were deposited In
exchange for small notes to be shipped to a
number or points nortq south tnd west.
These exchanges : are recelred with aatlllfa
tlon al the department as they reduce the
supply of cash which In time It Is argued , la
sure to result In a stiffening ) or the rates
or interest and Incidentally tn a cessation or
the wIthdrawals of gold for foreign Invest-
ment.
The talk or an early bond Issue has pracll-
cally died out here the opinion among officials -
ficials beIng that while President Cleveland
w91J ) protect the national credIt when In
danger by any means wltbln "hlB power , the
present situation not"such 'to call
notl1sueh liS for
any action on his parL.Those.pprsons best

DENVER , S pt. 17.-A sensaton ! was
created In .the prison congress by a paper on
"Politics and CrIme , " written by Amos G.
Warner , professor or economics and social
science In the Laland Stanford universIty ,
of CalifornIa , and read by John N. Dryden ot '
Kearney , Neb.
"U the state itself Is under the influence j
or criminals , " said the doctor , boldly ; IJlung-
log Into his ubJect , "how can It hope to re- i
form criminals ? Setting a thief to catch a
thief was an old-time' doctrine , but the
plan or setting 1\ thief to reform a thief has
never yet teen defended. The representatives -
tlves of time state wIth whom crimInals arm
most frequently brought Into contact are
policemen , police justices sheriffs , sherirts'
deputies and jallkeepers only a shale If at a
all , better than the criminals themselves
The hope of curD or criminals largely lies
In curative trentmmt In thc early stages.
Petty offenders and those on the verge or
crhnlnallly In the large cities seldom Dr
.
never get beyond this line or guards and r
live more or less In their presence. The '
police to them represent the state. " x
The : professor Illustrates his meanIng by ,
gIving details or the treatment gIven tramps , 1
gamblers , prostitutes and the criminal classes
generally r
The paper started a warm Illfcussl.n ; and
brought out n number of protests
Warden W. E hale of San Qucntl:1 : , Cal. , ' .
who for six years prIor to assumIng clmhrgo
of the prIson , had : been sheriff or Alameda u'
county saId that he wanted to bran'l come
or the allegations as to corruption In Cali-
fornia as false Mr halo thought It was
shameCul for u man or the standing of the
professor to make such sweeping and general
charges , and he could not sIt till under ,
them.
It was the sentiment ort he delegates that
n man of Pror. \Varner'lI standing would not .
make such broad assertions unless he was
able to back them up The rapn was trdered
filed and thank sent to the profcssor
