blow struck at her by the man who
has, until now, been recognized as
the foremost living champion of free
Government on European soil. AL
though there have been fo~rebodings
of some such evolutionary move

nobody conversant with the char

could have suspected that he would
consent to the forcible dispersion of
the Spanish Parliament and worse, to
the formation of Il Dictatorship OF

GOVERNOR FURNAs has seen fit to

GOVERNOR FURNAs has se0n fit to
make another appeal to public iudg-
ment upon the grave charges involved
against his reputation and character
in the historic Furnas-H Herald libel
suit. This appeal comes to us in the
shape of arguments and documentary
evidence, published over the Govern
or's signature in the Lincoln Journal
of the Sd instant. Inasmuch as this
elaborate defense covers almost Ave
solid columns of the Journal we are
prevented, at least for the present,
from reproducing it, The arguments
advanced by the Governor do not APP
pear to differ materially from those
advanced by his able and eloquent
councillors during tho trial of his
libel suit. The documentary evil
dence cosists Of correspondence
between Governor Furnas and
Messrs. Rankin, Mofiatt and
jackson since the trial. II
would perhaps be deemed un-
generous and im~prudent in us to en-
ter into a critical review of the cons
tents of these letters without pub.
fishing them in full. At the same
time we cannot but express our con-
viction that the ~reopening of this
old sore is not in accord with our
views of sound policy. Having orig
inally advised against the course
pursued by the Governor in bringing
the suit for libel, We still adhere to
the belief that the whole subject
would long since have been dismissed
from the minds Of the people had the
Governor ignored the Herald and its
venomous filings. For the same rea>
sons we do not consider the revival
of this controversy, either in the
courts or in the newspapers, as de-
sirable.
