OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , JANUAKY ,10 , 18)7. ! ) tMs condition became Involved In quarrel ! Nelson aeemi to stand In with the police. ; few months ago Sergeant Mitchell " < lls covered" Nelson's place open on Sunday Ho nleo discovered among Nelson's cus lomors In the saloon Onlcors IIofT and Ser Kcant and Detective nioom. Mltchel watched the officers and they remained li there for nn hour. He caught them In th act ot drinking liquor and reported them t the chief. The three oITlDcrg , to clear them nclves , claimed that they went In to sea I Nelson was really selling liquor on Sunday and , to give this the appearance ot sin eerily , they Hied a complaint against Net BOH , charging him with violating the lav In regard to selling liquor on Sunday. Thi chlof never reported the charge against Ui three officers to the commission , and tin case against Nelson was postponed am dragged along and finally dismissed. Nel son celebrated the event by giving the offl ccrs In question n "beer" ban quct at bis house. On the nigh of Ontobar 17 , last , another "beer1 banquet was given , this lime at the rest deuce of Detective Bloom. Nolf on furnUhoi ! the beer on that occasion and the gurat ! filled tip to overflowing. Speeches were made by Chief Detective Cox and Detective Dunn , and corks were pulled by the rest , Them was another soiree at Sergeant Iler'B at which the bibulous fluid Is said to have flowed freely. It Is not an uncommon thing for a pollen man to sponge his drinks. This Is espe cially true In Omaha. The result I ? that th : policeman gets his drinks for nothing , and the saloon keeper la then granted privilege ; specifically and strictly forbidden by the law nml ordinances. As a result ot this many of the Falcons keep the fide or back dooi open all night. Some of the saloons have o Ixirtendcr who stands watch nil night. There Is scarcely a saloon In Omaha that observes the Sunday closing law. Drinks ore sold Cn Sunday the same as any other day. This Is a brief story of Omaha as It If governed. Much moro might be told. With Saturday night "dances , " unrestrained vice , nn Incompetent police force , with crime anil Immorality driving their deadly fangs Into the vitals of virtue , It Is strange Indignant and outraged public opinion has so long been restrained from asserting Itself.

Interest In the matter tor Is Increased by the fact that at leao two of the present members ot the board nr nctlvei factors In two of the churches whosi pastora have been foremost In the move.- merit to project the Omaha Ministerial as Boclatlon Into politics. A. C. Fester Is tin ma'in financial support of the Hansconr 1'arl Methodist church. Ho contributed verj largely toward the present church building and Is relied on to help make up any doll- clcmcy In the pastor's salary. Captain II E. Palmer la ono ot the active members o ; All Saints' Episcopal church , and whllo hl < financial contributions are not so Hbcral a : thoeo of his colleague , ho Is regarded a : ono of the pillars of the Institution. It Is c general Impression on the streets that tlu ministers have been very neatly worked They seem to bo fllnco.ro In the belief thai they were only making an effort to retalr the policy of appointing the incmbera of tlu pollco board , but on thla basis they havt been Induced to go on record as endorsing the administration of the present board tc the fullest possible extent. They have ever boon led to take exactly the action that the members of the present board would havt ohcacn If they had been allowed to dictate the whole matter themselves. The minis ters , however , claim not to bo aware of tlu fact that they 'have ' been heading a lobby li : the interest of the Foslor-I'almer-E'Irk- banner combination. HAD HUT ONE OBJECT IN VIEW. The Omaha ministers who signed the poll- tlou protesting against any change In tht present Board of Fire and Police Commis sioners arc a unit In declaring thai thoj have only -one object In view. That IB tc counteract a growing oentlment In favoi of a wldc-opec town during the exposition They say that the change that they are pro testing nguln.st la making the mayor n mem ber of the boaid. In regard to the ( statcmcni Included In ihelr petition that at no time have thu pollco affairs ot the city been sc olllclcntly administered a.i In the pa.st eigh teen months , they assort that their opinions are bastd on tin ? fact that there have been no open gambling houses during that time. Out of a doien leading Ri'nUtors who were seen yesterday not ono pretended to dls- cusj any feature of thu present pollco ad ministration outside ot the closed gambling houses , Nov. S. Wright Duller of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church was one of thu first ministers to advocate the ministerial endorse ment of the present board. In discussing the matter yesterday he paid : "The- whole thing Is very simple. It all amounts to merely this : Wo do not want any elective oincer to ho a member of the board. We presented this petition because there wus a law proposed by which the mayor would be a member. That would bo nil right It wo were euro of having Just the right sort ot a mayor Uut we regard the experiment as dangerous und unnecessary. Wo fear that If the mayor is given a place en the board It may have a tendency to bring the police and lire depart ments Into politics , We arc soon to have a great exposition .nd It Is not to be denied that there is a tendency In certain quarter/i / to advocate turning the town Into a wild and woolly western city during that time. rimt wo are nnxlous to avoid. Moro than that we have not yet progressed no far but that wo are willing to learn from the metro politan cities toward the rising sun.

OPPRESSED IN ALL NATION ! For Oontnries the Jew Has Boon tlio Viotin of Tyranny and Injnstico. SECOND LECTURE BY RABBI FRANKLIf Hiiliiilcnientnr- Ono Deliv ered llefore ( he Climttiiiiinin Col- IOBO Two Week * AK but on Hinne l.lne. of Ilabbl Franklin ot Tcmplo Israel deliv ered another lecture last night upon tin topic forming the subject ot his recent lee lure bcforo the Clmtauqua college , viz "Tho Jewish Idea of the Messiah. " The lec ture was delivered during the regular scr- vices at the temple on Harney street , am ! was eagerly listened to by a largo audience composed of the members of the congrega tion and a number of prominent members of other churches , -opening , Dr. Franklin spoke of the alt of mystery surrounding much of the early history of the Jew which seems to be hidden - den In the mistiness ot the past , hut ho said thcro was nothing monotonous about that history. Ho asserted that the history of the Jew stands alone that- there * Is nothing that binds It to the story of other nhtlons , All of the great nations of the world , he said , stand united In accepting him who came to redeem man from sin , but they gnzo with suspicion upon the nallon which rejected him. The speaker said this was not remarkable when It wa considered how the [ > eople of all these nation ? have been taught. Ho said they have all been educated to re gard the Jew as ono who stands apart from the rest of humanity , ns Is beflltlng In one who had rejected the Savior. This feeling , ho said , was not only common to the masses , but from Ihoso from whom more tolerant Ideas might bo expected. Dr. Franklin said bo wished to supple ment what he had to say to a mixed atull- enco a few weeks ago , and would explain : ho Jewish Idea ot the Messiah. Owing to ho great breadth of the subject be said bo would only bo able to touch upon the most sallont points. The history ot the Jew , ho said , was n record of suffering , oppression and persecution. Driven from this land by .ho tyranny ot a despot , and from lhat by the oppression of the fanatic , the Jew could call no land his home. Ho might lie down n peace ol the going down of Hie sun but lid not know whether the rising sun would jrlng peace or disaster. AUI3 AT BEST BUT TOLERATED. Touching briefly upon history , the speaker said that up lo Iho time of Iho destruction of the tcmplo during the rclgn of Cyrua hero had boon a centerof Jewish national Ife. The temple at Jerusalem was the na- lonal capllol , but Hainan bigotry destroyed his last mark of natlonallly. ttuln narkoJ Iho place where the tcmplo had stood and from that tlmo the Jews scatlercd over nil lands. No land extended a wel come to the wanderers and at best they wcro but tolerated. The Jews of the different nations each have a history to tell of mls- forluno and oppression , but the speaker said he would not touch on that pbaso of the question. Uesumlng the thread of his discourse the speaker said the destruction of the temple did not destroy the Jewish hope of seme ono to redeem the nation It did not deprive : hem of their God. They wcro sustained ) } the hope that truth must conquer falsity ; heir eyes and bopcs were still centered on Palestine , and they waited patiently for the time when they should be gathered there again. Every Ihought of a redeemer was associated with the hope of restoration to temporal power. They thought to be gath ered again at Palestine and be restored to .heir old position among the nations , and they could see no other way. In the early- days In Egypt and afterward In Babylon , : hey had prayed for the fame thing , and it had come to pass , and they thought the sama experience would ho repeated when the iropor tlmo came. The doctor said that n the light of later days It Is easy to ECO the error of this belief , and the hand of Cod nay bo seen In this scattering of the race all over the civilized world. The speaker then referred briefly to the nany pscudo messlahs who had arisen among .he Jews , and others who had come to them from other nations , deluding them with false > roriilses , and Inciting sedition and conspiracy. He said the temper of the times demanded a nesslah. and many unprincipled men took dvantage cf this cpportunl y , thus offered , to nlslead the people and endeavor to advance hemsclvcs. He referred somewhat In detail o the principle of these false prophets , some of whoai flourished as late ns the beginning of the present century. There was one com mon element In all these cases. In Jewish bought every idea of the mesalah appearing vas closely related to the restoration of ho national entity and temporal power , and IIGEO pseudo mcEslahs all worked with this dca uppermost. As ages passed , however , the speaker aid Jewish thoughts and hopes had under tone many changes. The Jews no longer ook forward to Palestine ; they no longer expect a soldierly mosslah to lead them mck to regain the promised land by brute orce and power. The events ot history mvo changed this. VANISHING GLORY OF SPAIN. Of all the edicts ever Issued against the Jews , the speaker said none were as far reaching or fraught with as much Importance as thai when. In ll)2 ! ) , Torrjumada , Iho grand Inquisitor , persuaded the king of Spain to order all the Jews from the counlry. Hohbed of all their worldly goods to feed the greedy Spaniards , Ihey left the land In which they had enjoyed their golden ag > In literature , education and the arts , to seek now hc-nios. With them went the glory cf Spain , never to return. That suffering was the beginning of a new perloj of messianic appearing. When Columbus sot foot upon the shores of the Western hemisphere the messlah came with him. America Is the Palestine of the modern Jew ; the land where nvory man may enjoy freedom of thought : Iho land of promise. In conclusion the doctor epnho as follows : "I bellovo the light Is God's Messiah , I belfovo that truth and liberty and brothcr- liood are refulgent beams streaming In efful gent splendor from the central sun. TIs Iruo Ihey have nol yet penelrated all the : artb , but In the fullness nf tlmo they shall io so. The light of liberty and equality shall yet break the darkness of Russian op pression , ot Austrian fanaticism , cf German bigotry , and of narrow mlndedness and big- it ry and wrong wheresoever they may Dhow themselves. The lime will come and then [ he meselnnlc era will bo here , when , as it the beginning , thcro sounded the creative ind prophetic words : 'Lot there be light ! ' 5o , from the ends of the earth and from every corner of the globe Inhabited by man , shall there resound , as though It were an echoing inswer to these words divine , 'And there was light ! ' flight everywhere. " VelirnNka Corn All IllKlit. OMAHA , Jan. 29. To the Editor ot The lee : In a recent Issue of your paper an Item ippeanv ! quoting an assistant general freight igent a > > raying lhat ho had Just ro turned 'ram n trip through Nebraska , and whllo out look pains to make a thorough examination if the corn stored In cribs and lying on the ground about the state , Ho goes on to say [ hat "thn conditions could not bo much A-nree ; that there has been so much rain ihn corn Is rotting on the ground , and that it cannot bo moved east , for It would not iclt for enough to pay the expense of handIng - Ing It , and cannot bo moved south for the pason that It will spoil In transit , and that f It remains In Nebraska It will rot. " These statements are misleading and likely : o do great Injury among pt-oplo outside of Ms state who do not know the facts. I am n no way Interested In transportation , nor n the employ of any railroad , but for the ast month or two have been traveling up and ! own through eastern Nebraska , both by rail mil by team , In the country , and know the ondlllon of the corn crop thoroughly. The acts are that Nebraska never raised a larger : rep of merchantable corn , anil the great niIk of It U now stored In good cribs ready .o be moved when the market price will ustlfy. It la fortunately true that there has been in unusual amount ot rain for this ncaiion of be year , and the country roads , while not Impassable , have not been In their usuj good condition. U Is at the same time trti that thcro has been much soft and dam corn forced utpon the market. This come chiefly from renters and a few Improvldcr farmers who , for lack of cribs In which t store , have piled their corn upon the groum depending upflA the dry weather that Is cits ternary at Hhla season of the year. Thl corn Is , oticctursc , damp , damaged and I poor condition for market , but the farmer who are thus Improvident are the very one who are compelled to turn whatever the have Into money at the first moment U cai bo forced uppn ; the market , and at whatovc price It will bring. There Is..a ilttle corn , perhaps not eve 5 per cent.to 10 per cent of the whole , tha from Into planting , or replanting , did no fully mature and Is not ot good quality , bu this Is also most likely to be found In th hands of those who are least thrifty , and I being forced upon the market. The great bulk of Nebraska's Immens crop of corn this year Is of choice quality soune1 and well filled , stored In good crlba and nt the proper time such portion of 1 as Is not needed for feeding In the neighbor hood will bo marketed In good condition am wilt bring Into the state within the next fcv months large sums of money. Doubtless the freight agent who reportci such an alarming situation was mlslnformci and made but Blight Investigation , but tin general Impression created by his statcmcnti Is erroneous and likely to do harm am should not pass without correction.

Ho took a his subject Art Adams , who Is a local hyp nolle artist of considerable success. The exhibition began with the- professor li bis room In the Merchants hotel and his sub Ject In the editorial rooms. The latter tool a scat In a chair and the professor begar lo operate upon him. In a few minutes the subject began to yawn and then went Into a cataleptic sleep. He was In that condition when the professor entered the sanctum n few minutes later. As a result ot the experiment lAdams was excited and did not prove to bo as good a subject thereafter. Nevertheless , the pro fessor succeeded to a considerable degree. Among other things ho cau&rd the pulse In ono ot Adams' wrlsls lo boat twelve times a iinlnute faster than It < lld In the other. Ho also destroyed his sense ot Miiell so that the subject was apparently unable to sniff ammonia. He caused lapses in the sub ject's memory , so that he would stop In the middle ) of r. song and then a 'moment ' later , at command of the professor , would be gin again vlth the word and note with which he left ott. One of the amusing portions of the entertainment occurred when the pro fessor compelled the subject to literally laugh on ono side ot his face and cry on the other. Ono check was bedewed with tears while the other was wreathed In smiles. One of Adams' arms was also so paralyzed by the professor that he felt no sensations when It was < pinched. The seance was witnessed -by a consider able number ofi the editorial force ot The Bee. Dr. Gharlds Rosewaler was also an In- leresled speclalor , and , nt the request of the professor , niade observations ot the experl- menls. ' _ * WAS FOUSII il.V T1II5IH POSSESSION. Tlirei ?

Whllo engaged In talking a wagon drove up and Mr. Harding hurriedly stated that the men In charge of It were the ones from whom he had purchased the flrsl load. Upon examining Iho contents of the wagon It was found that It contained a number of sections of the same machine from which the first quantity had been taken. The men were placed under arrest and taken to the police slatlon , where they wore temporarily charged with , being suspicious characters. Today Information will bo sworn out against them charging' grand larceny. The men gave the names of Ed Day , John Klockner and Fred Le Febre , and their residence as Thirty-third and Charles streels.

( CopyrlRht , 1S97 , by 1'rcss Publishing Company ] MADRID , Jan. 29. ( New York Worli ! Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The WorldV account of negotiations at Washington be tween Spain's minister , Scnor do Lome , and Secretary of Stale Olncy with reference la arranging a treaty ot peace In Cuba Is com mented upon with great Intcroat and spirit by the Madrid press. The general Impres sion among statesmen and diplomats bore Is that the American government baa been constantly kept acquainted with Iho condi tion ot Spain since the I'orto Ulco reforms wor.o published. Novorthele n the Imparclal , the Literal , the Globe , and even the ministerial Naclonal assort today that they are olilclally author ized to deny the existence ot any treaty , agreement or oven olllctal understanding be tween the two governments. It la noted that the present favorable aspect of the military operations reported by General Woy- lor shows Spain to be In a better position than over lo be Iho solo judge of Hie extent ot the colonial reforms , the date of pulling them Into effect and the mode of oxexjullng the program drawn up without foreign In terference1. Ofllclal contradlcllon Is also authorized of the rumors of negotiation ! ) with the Cuban leaders or the Junta In Iho Unllod States. According lo all private advices from Cuba , Influential West Indian representa tives assure mo the Insurgents have split up In bands all over the Island , with Instructions from Maximo Gomez to husband ammuni tion and keep up a guerrilla warfare , raiding plantations whenever contributions are re fused until the rainy , unhealthy season begins In May. The Spanish protectionists have been as sured thai Ihe American reports concerning . 'iigagomenLs with the United States affecting : ho colonial tariff are greatly exaggerated jocauso Spanish parliaments nnd govern ments will rntaln thn right to pronounce on the suggestions of tbe smaller assemblies ibout tarlfta and the right to make a Ireaty with the United States , which cannot take definite shape until McKlnley and Sherman are In ofllco. The marquis of Apczetcguta , chief of the Cuban conservatives , on landing at Cadiz , made the following Important declarations : "The war cannel be ended promptly by force of arms alone. Pollllcal action Is expedient. Reforms must be sincere and extensive to produce a quick and definite pacification. The Iriumph of Spain would then bo certain. "It Is Impossible to say how long the struggle Is likely to last , particularly In the eastern provinces , where the rebels overrun the bulk of the territory , and In the rest of the Island a revival of the Insurrection may occur when the rainy season comes , though the province of I'lnar del Illo Is actually nearly padded. The splrll of the army is excellent , and Its numbers are sufficient If foreign complications are averted. I con sider Captain General Weyler a competent commander , but not equal to the lask ot being governor-general. I consider unwise bis sevcrlly with Iho planters and the rural populallon parllcularly , who musl find work or Join the rebellion. He should real ize lhat Ihe crops are the beat auxiliary to paclllcatlon. "Tho ecoaiomlc condition ot the colony Is deplorable. The future depends cnllrely upon Ihe plan of reconslructlon. which must be rigorous to revive the principal sources of colonial prosperity , which , though much im paired , are not annihilated. The selection of a proper person , to conduct these reforms ot reconstruction after a struggle Is ex ceedingly difficult , as It Is generally not al ways possible for the leader who Inflicted. Ihe wounds lo heal them. " On parting General Weyler Jokingly told the mareiuls of Apezetegula : "Adieu ! Lei my recall come BOOH. " These words Apezete gula takes to signify that Weylor only con siders himself competent for military mat ters. ters.The marquis of Apezetegula , whllo admlt- ling lhat deficiencies exist In the military commissariat In Cuba , bolloves these dim- cullies have been much more exaggerated , and says lhat Iho Cuban loyalist parties sincerely co-operate with the Spanish cause. The marqute will arrive at Madrid on Sunday. At his request the cabinet will ciot publish reforms until they hear his opinion the contemplated commercial on the same and on mercial trealy with the United Statey. Both will bo carried out anyhow.
