Francis A. Urogcu When the mailer wao llrsl prcsenled In papers I was Inclined Io think there was no u eight to the attack on the Fire and Police commission I have slnco changed my opinion. I believe IU good law that Judge Scoll has eat forth In his op'mlon. He Ins denied the writ and thrown Ibo whole matter Into the city coun. ell. Beyond the question of good or bad law , I think the action Is ono thai Is timely and necessary. Wo have had a ferry spec tacle of stale Interference In municipal pol itics presented to us recently. The right to appoint a fire and police commission for On.alin. was given to the state In order that the lire and police departments of the city government mlghl ho taken out ot politic. ! , and during the last few months we have had tbo worst cximplo of politics In Ihu police department and Iho police department In politics ever seen In Omaha.

Besides the as sembled fruit growers , the students from the elate experimental farm were present. Among the fruit men who arrived after the meeting of ywtordiy afternocu vvero President Evara of the Mltaourl HortlcuHuinl society , A. P. Collruan of Corning , la.j M. 0. Edwards , Glonwood , la. ; Superintendent P. M. Powell and Farm Supervisor J. B. JacUscu of the Institute for the Feeble Minded at Olcr - wood , la. Prof. P. W. Curd of the State university opened Uio morning program with a talk on the Question of apraylng fruit trees to keep away moths , In which ho gave tie rcsultn of a number of experiments with different methods of epiu.yiig ! trees. Ho said that kcroscno emulsion or tarla green are the two preparations found to bo the most effective , but cautioned against too heavy i.a appllca- tltci , which tends to Injure the folbgo of the treea. In the course of his talk 1'rof. Card culled attention to the result of the spraying dene hy Younger & Co. of Gertavn. In this Instance en orchard of 1,008 treea had been sprayed at a total co.it of $20.85 , or ut a frac tion o\cr 2 cents per tree , the experiments be'tig successful In dlspcalng of the moths.

JI. Powell of Glenwood. la. , read a iiapor on "Horticulture as a Branch of Ptibllc Hdueatlon " He opened by compli menting the people of Nebraska on tlio In terest manifested In horticulture , and espe cially cominenlol en the attendance of so many young men nt this meeting. Ho be lieved that a knowledge of .horticulture , as well as other education , should be Imparted to the younger generation , being an Im portant 'branch ' of Industrial education. Those who meio destined In later life to vork with tholr brains should be taught In early life to work with their hands , and the fact was deplored that modern educational a > atom tends tco much to turn out bookish men , who lack In actual know ledge'of the Industries. Children should be taught to care for plants''and trees , to observe their growth and to pay attention to the work and experiments In jiortlculture. The public schools should take up this branch as a part of a practical education. Dr. George li Miller , Hon. J. ( Sterling Mor ton and ex-GoVernor Furnas being present at the meeting , it was decided to adjourn the balance of thd published program in order that the , Idistinguished gentlomei might be heard from. I ) . ' . Miller was first called upon , and li opening his remarks confessed that ho hac uut a limited knowledge of horticulture , bu tliat he might say ( Something on the bubjec of forestry. HtPspoke of the early develop ment of the state , when the \alley land was the first taken up by the settlers , and when It was doubtful whether either trees or nutrklvo grasscn would grow on the uplands Ho compaied the early condition of the territory with its now wonderful develop ment , and callpd attention to the good woih done by Mr. Morton and ex-Governor Fur nas In aiding the Interests of forestry and horticulture. Hon. J. Sterling 'Morton made a few re marks and presented to the society some letters and papers on grafting and other questions of Interest to fruit growers. Cx-Goveinor Turnao told of the organiza tion of the society by about ten fruit grow eis , Immediately after the holding of the state fair at Nebraska City twenty-one jears ago At that time the raising of apples was regarded as the most Important part of horticulture and he bello/ed that &uch vva/i still the case. Ho commented on the ofilcacy of spraying trees , and In regard to lamago from rabbits gnawing the baik 'rom joung trceo he had found gooj results from painting the tree trunks with oidlnary paint.

P. Jenkins of Arcadia took up the snb- ect of destruction of trees and plants by abblts and suggested some plans for over coming the trouble. Ho favored the use of guns and dogs , but oven these means are lot adequate. Rabbit-tight fences are cffecl- vc , but are more expensive than meat farm ers can afford. Mr Jenkins thought that If ho state would pay a 2'Xj-ccnt ' bounty bojs \ould bo encouraged to kill more rabbits nnd hus help to protect both fruit trees and crops. In the dlucusslon of this paper A. S. jodfrey of Lincoln \-andered from the fiub- ect far enough to attack our present game aw.

"Culture of Sn.oll Frulta" wan the subject f a paper by J. W , Stevencm of North lend , He said the kind of soil has little o do with the necessary light and heat , but very thing to do with moisture. Overpro- uctlon is the mistake made by many. la rrlgatlng , the soil should bo stirred often to ecuro the best results. Small fruits , like cgetablea occupy llttlo space and can easily e Irrigated by means of a windmill at mall expense. Each of the common small rulta was taken up separately and Ita proper ulllvitlcci explained , "Co-operative Handling of Fruit" was alien UD by J , P , Ileaa of Council Bluffs. io advocated the organization of cooperative ative associations for the ualu of fruits. A number of fruit Rrowers banded together can always secure better shipping rates , coUl storage facilities and , what Is quite as lru portant , better prices. A. r. Colcman ot Corning gave nn Inter esting account of his observations of smith- em horticulture during a recent trip through Missouri. The dUcilKsloDi following brought on ? the fact that Nebraska fruit growers wilt meet with financial rucceas In oil cases where trees suited to the cltmato are se lected. H. M. Pollard of Nohawka discussed the production of cider. Although most ot tbo elder on the Nebraska market comes from cast of the Missouri rhcr. It Is not oa nc-i count of Its superior quality. Every fruit grower knows that many Inmhel.i of apples go to waste each year which could bo turned Into money by being ground for elder. Mr. Pollanl explained In full his methods of unk ing and preparing cider for the commercial trade. Uarrels must bo alr-tlght nnd prefer , ably ot small size. At the meeting the committee appointed to consider arrangements for an apple carnival at the TransmUslKslppl Exposition held this o\cnlng It was decided to rename the enter prise the Fruit Festival. A. P. Colcman of Corning , la. , presided and Q. W. Hervey of Omaha served as secretary. It wna decided to set opart different days for different fruits , these dojs to bo named In the future.

I Shortly after the election Itwas rumorcc that the police Judge , who was a holdove olllccr , had been guilty of malfeasance 1 olllcc , In m.ikilng arrangements iwlth gam tilers and otl or lawless characters , whereb they were permitted to conduct their busl ness by pay Ing regular stated fines to bin \.lthout the formality of any trials. A length the rumors took form In the filing o a complaint by a number ot citizens wli were knowing to his delinquencies , and giv ing the names of witnesses who would sub stantlato the charges. It became the dut of the mayor and council to investigate th charges and hear the evidence , and If fouiu true , to declare the office vacant. They ac cordlngly entereJ upon the Investigation. Th police Judge appeared with council , Burr Mason and Magoon , and after they had con sumed auout five or six weeks in taking testimony , the counsel for Judge Parson begged that the case might be postponci for a vreek's Mme. Ills wish was acceded to , but before the time had arrived for the final decision by the council , the counso for the defendant had bocurcd from Judge Brewer then United States circuit Judge IX ) this circuit , an injunction icstralnlng the council from any further proceedlngb In the case. case.The city council felt highly indignant a the deception. They felt fraud had bcei practiced upon them , and being thoroughly convinced from the evidence already take : that the charges were true , and satlsfiei that Judge ( Brewer had been Imposed upoi by false representations , and that a federa courtt of equity had no jurisdiction to re strain the city council In the performance o a duty imposed upon it by law , and feel ing that the ends of justice v.ould bo de feated and Parsons bo allowed to servo QU his term before a final decision could bo had , determined to proceed with their In vestigation , notwithstanding the Injunction Accordingly , by unanimous vote , the office of police Judge was declared vacant. Ho refused to vacate , Whereupon the mayor Instructed the chief of police to use all necessary force to remove him. Ho was ac cordingly forcibly ejected , and H. J. Whlt- moro appointed In his place.

They , accotdlngly , vvero lined up before Judges Brewer and Dundy. In vain did they seek to glvo reasons that wore satisfactory to tbo Judges why they . hould not bo punlshcJ. Mr. Lambertson appeared for the mayor and city council and sought to show hy the evidence the good standing and high character of the prisoners ami that they did not act contemptuously , but In good faith. The showing availed nothing. Judge Brewer , In a lengthy opin ion , decided that ho had Jurisdiction of the case and that the very standing and chara- ter ot the culprit. } afforded a good reason why they chould bo severely punished.

The cauo excited great interest throughout the United StatcH and lias bocoino onu ot Iho cases celobio and Is reported In 124 U , S. , 402 , entitled on re Sawyer lito paper of Mr. T. H. Tibbies related to ono of the most Important events tint will enter'Into the permanent history of the state , 'or from It resulted a complete change hi Iho uws In regard to Indian tribes.

It related la Iho labcan corpus case which was fir at tried before - fore Judge DiKidy at Omaha April SO , 1879 , entitled "United States ex rel Standing Bear agalnot George Crook , a Drlgodlcr General of the United Staten Army " The OJse was brought by Mr , Tibbies. A. J Popplelon end John L. Webster were the attorneys for the Indians and G. L. Lambert- icu for the government. H was based on the 'ourtounth ' and fifteenth amendments to the constitution , which , In effect , declares that nil persona born In the Ilm1 ( of the United Slaten nro citizens thereof , and that no state shall pifvi or enforce uny law * making a dis tinction on account of race orcolor. . Mr. Tibbies claimed that this covered nn Indian , that an Indian therefore had n right to appeal to the courts and could not be ar rested or ImprUonnunt without duo process of Inn * . If this principle * was cs'ubllfihed In dian wars would be Impossible , for Instead ot making war en a whole tribe ot Indians when any of Its member * conimltlr-d crimes , And Kio Innocent with Iho guilty shot down , force would bo used only to arrest the guilty parties and they would bo tried nml pun ished as oil other crlmhvtls , and would , In the end , stop the practice of feeding Indians and keeping them In IdletiMs cti reservations , The central finally resulted In the passage of the "severally net , " under which Indians are aliened lanl In severally and become cltlzms ot tlio UrlteJi Stales nnd Iho stalM In which Ihoy reside , and the establishment of the extended school system on the rcscr- vntlcufl.
