It In now for Judge Powell to determine
Whether Governor Holcomb violated the stat
utes of the stale of Neb aska when ho ap
proved the bond of State Treasurer IMrtlcy
on January 9 , 1S93 , four da > after the dito
on which Hartley entered his office and air
ivhlch It Is contended IIP ciuld only legally
Approve the bond , and also , whether Governor
Holcomb , by no Illegally acting , rendered the
Iond Invalid nnd thus released the bonds
men f'om all responsibility for the half mil
lion dollars defalcation that existed In the
Btato treasnry when Hartley vacated It last
January , If Judge Powell answers these
questions of law In the affirmative the state
cannot recover the amount of the defalcation
on the bond So Important Is this stage ot
the trial.
These questions have been argued for three
daj s , and the discussion was finally brought
to a close late ycstc' day afternoon. Judge
Tow ell announced that he would not render
a decision until all the evidence was In , BO
that a clear record might be made of the CUSP
for review hj the supreme court , to which
tribunal It will be cirrled , whichever varty
Wins. Thus , when the case Is taken up again
on next Mondaj morning , the Introduction of
testimony will bo resumed The defendants
ivvlll commence at a point wlrtrn thpy left off
when the argument of the lai cstions w is
commenced 'Ihej we o try to show bj
witnesses that Governor IIoLomb refused to
approve the band on Januarj 3 , IS'i" , when
the stale objected on thp grounds lint It was
Immatcrlil whether or not the uiiproval ot
th6 bond occurred on that daj This at once
brought the questl ins dUciiK cd during thp
pint three dajs to the front When the ar
gument war ? completed jcstodaj attcrnoorr
Judge Powell said that ho would allow the
defendants to show what occurred In rolitlon
to the bond on Jnrruiry 2 and 3
Throughout the ti.al so far the defendants
have taken the i osltlon that If Governor llol-
com performed the dutj laid down for
him by the statutes the suit o.i trial could
never have be-cn Instituted This stand his
been advanced most strenuous ! } during tiV
past three dajs du Ing the arguments \'i > -

to the court by General Cow In In a state
merit which he hid written beforehand In
order that ho might not bt misquoted Thl
sidtemcnt arraigned Govmror Holcomb for
violating the plain vrovlsiorrs of the statute's
In allowing Hartley to enter upon his second
term of office
In the- outset General Cow In stated tint
whin Governor Iloleornb failed to approve-
IJartlej's bcnl on Janrnry t isgj Birtlej
lost every right and privilege to the olllce of
fctnte treasurer he had acquired by his elec
tlon Thus th" olll e became vacant arm
Governor illolcornb hid no authority to ap
prove his bond on January ' ) In approving
it ho violated the law General Cow In then
continued
"Hy Igrorlrrg the plain provisions of the
statutes Governor Iloleornb permitted Hart
ley to occupy the olllce of state treasurer
without the shadow of right or title for two
years Had not Governor Holcomb .ippiovr > d
the bond when he had no authority to do so ,
this case would not be In court
"Hut worse than this followed as a coisc-
qucnce of Ignoring these statutes The law
jirovldes that when a treasurer succeeds
himself his bond shall not be approved until
Ire has produced and fulljaccourrted for all
funds and proportj that should Be in his
hands.
NEGLECTS HIS DUTY.

"Hut still wor = e Is to come When this
startling evidence was Introduced the attor
ney general inndo an attempt to escape the
consequences , nnd how ? Hy endeavoring to
show that llartloj had Illegally disposed of
the money The question was asked Hart
ley's deputj whether It was not a fact that
Hartley had certificates of deposit rcpre-
centlng state funds in ban'is ' other than
etate depositories , and it developed that he
had some and some open accoun's ' , but how

"I do not agree with that statement , " In
terrupted General Cow In and Attorney lart-
lott said no more on that point.
Attorney Hartlett denloj that If Hartley
was debaTcd from denvlnR his ll.iblllU for
his acts , the estoi pel extended to his sureties.
He maintained that In line with this a gu-
ment , If Hartley usurped the ofllce his bondsmen -
men could he hold liable for his acts while he
was holding this usurped position It was
by this line of reainnlng that the state In
sisted that the sureties Hhould be held liable
for Hartley's acts ntter the olllcc of treas
urer had become vacant b > the neglect of
the Governor
"Shall these bondsmen ho ruined fo" an

General Cow In also denounced the attorncv
.uncial for offering as evidence llartlej &
bond without the approval of the governoi ,
which he Intimated was done In order to
shield the governor from blame In falling to
require the borrd to b approved at the proper
time General Cow in staled that the conduct
of the nttorrroj general was blrnilar to that
of i. man who was sworn to tell the truth anj
the whole truth , who really told only a part
of the truth , and who was therefore grrlltj
of perjury.
General Cow In then turned his attention to
the nutter In dispute. It was at this point
that he read the statement which has been

declares that It wag an unqualified success
The association fixed upon Chautiiuqna lake
as the next meeting , place , because II wanted

Comfort would have done so. The Invitation
from Omaha was Well received , but the pas
senger rnon had previously determined not
to hold their next meeting In any large city
The local pasxcnger men who could not
attend the meeting are now being regaled
vv Ith bright excerpts from Chauncey lo- )
pjvv's address , which Mr Harries has thought
fully committed to memory Here are sorno
oD them "The railway business Is the only
business profession or occupitlon ot any
kind tint cultivates the ImaRlnitlon The
traveling yassenger agent nnd tlio passenger
agent ntiywhcro Is the literary cuss of the
railway world The literature which he gets
out Is the most astonishing thing that is got
ten out from the press And the most aston
ishing thing about It Is that so nnny people
believe It
"It has been fashionable In the past and
Is quite frequently fashlonihlc now to claim
that the rallrcad nun Is the enemy of the
republic , and while the lawyers , and while
the shyster , thu professional polltlclin and
the disreputable man may b elected to public
office the railway man must bo tabooed and
must bo deprived uf the'-Jcco nltlon which
his talents or his position or his relations to
h.s community entitle him. Now , we have
submitted to this for a g oat marry years.
There arc 1,000,000 of us now , and there will
be 1 COO 000 of us ten years from now. These
associations promoting our pride In our i to-
fesslon , will bring about , and ojght to bring
about , a feeling nt tlio earliest possible mo
