We give elsewhere the evidence taken by
the legislative committee relative to the
alleged school book bribery matter. AS the
testimony of the editor of this paper is in
Guided therein, but little remains to be
added here. Bribery i'll legislative or any
other affairs is not to be countenanced in
any degree, and the fact that it is Tor is sup
posed to beg of common occurrence does
not palliate the offense. We have enly to
add that we neither purchased nor attempt
ed to purchase Mr.. Brandt's vote. As
stated i'll the evidence. we have never met
him until he sought our acquaintance. five
had been in the bribery business and had de-
sired to purchase Mr.. Brandt vote, we leave
the public to judge whether we would have
been likely to have waited until he sought
an introduction few moments before the
bill III question was to be acted upon. 1t
will be noticed that Mr.. Brandt does not pre-
tend that we in any way endeavored to meet
him or ever ask his support of the bill until
he came unsolicited and introduced the topic
voluntarily. We make no attempt to en-
gage in a personal defense or to commend our
discretion, but, entering our solemn denial
of being actuated by corrupt motives, we
submit the testimony and leave the pubic to
Judge between us.

NO SULfJtERUEH.

The whole plan of State text books for
schools is pernicious, and one which should
never have been inauguratcd. Instead of
strengthening what has been done, it ought to
be wiped out altogether. As general rule,
however, II is pretty. safe to leave doubtful
measure to the people. This is particularly
80 where the proposed measure is one direct
ly affecting the pockets of the people. In
this view it is perhaps as well for the Merrill
Appleton law of last winter to stand and be
tested provided the people can have an OPP
portunity to decide upon it. Mr.. Donnely
depicts the saving to the people by this bill
as aggregating hundreds of thousands Of
dollars annually, but with a strange
pertnacity Mr.. D. steadily fights
of any movement to submit the
matter TO the people. Is he afraid to trust
the people with matter which is to save
them hundreds Of thousands Of dollars. Is
Mr.. Donnclly more interested in tho welfare
OF the people than the people are themselves?
1t will be singular if the House allows it.
self TO be bambooZled into rejecting the
Fellcr amendment, and accepting Mr.. Don
uelly's. The Teller amendment is especially
e1actjng i'll that it requires three fourths
Of the people to reject the Merrill
Appleton books, but it has the advantage
of allowing vote at any general election
instead Of fastening the books on the people
by force for five years before they can be
heard.
The House should remember in consider
ing this matter that the people are as com
petent to protect their interests as is a egis-
latiYc body. The people do not delegate
more than they can perform themselves AS
the representatives Of the people the House
should resent the cavalier course
Of the Senate. The attempt to
cram the Senate amendments down the
Threats Of the House is on par with the
original plan to cram the whole Job down the
throats Of the people Duty as well as self
respect demands that the House should
stand by it's amendment.

Il Remarkable STORY of' Crime.

Il Remarkable Story NJ Crime.
A remarkable murder trial has been de
veloped at Sidney, Neb. A letter from that
place written on the 25th, says
About twenty days ago young man nam
ed Charles Phillips, engaged at II. j. Wat
roth's rancho between here and Big Springs,
suddenly disappeared and all inquiries failed
to elicit tldings of him. Last night two
stock men, intimate friends of Watroth,
stopped at the rancho. Watroth was absent
Mrs. Watroth was partially Frustrated by
nervous attack. While talking about tho
mysterious disappearance of Phillips Mrs.
Watroth broke down in fit of hysterical
weeping. and said she knew where
murdered, and his body thrown into the Platte
river. When further questioned, she avowed
positive knowledge of the deed, which, she
said, had been committed by Henry Duboise,
another young man engaged on the rancho.
In great excitement she told the circumstan-
ces of the murder. There had been quar-
rel between Duboise and Phillips, on account
of certain fayors extended to them by her
self. Phillips threatened to tell Watroth of
her improper intimacy with Duboise. She
asked Duboise to whip Phillips. who. at
tempting it. got badly thrashed. On the
night of Feb. 3, Duboise told Phillips he
was a member of the gang who robbed
the express train at Big Springs,
and that $4,000 of tie gold was
buried on the banks Of Platte river, three
hundred yards from the house, and offered
him half the money if he would go with him
and dig it up. Phillips consented, and they
started at midnight. When few Yards
from the river, Duboise dropped behind
Phillips, and fired with revolver, striking
him in the back of the head, the ball coming
out at the forehead. Phillips turned round
as he fell, aud Duboise fired again, hitting
him under the right eye. Both balls pene-
trated the brain. Duboise filled the pockets
of the murdered man with sand, threw the
body into the river. and returned to the
house and told blrs. Watroth what
he had done. The stock men
telegraphed the facts to Deputy Sheriff
Brown, at Sidney who went to the Watroth
place this morning, on Il hand car and arrest
ed Duboise and brought him and Mrs. Wa
troth to Sidney, and lodged them in jail
II. j. Watroth is brother of ono of the
county commissioners, wealthy stock man
His wife is a pretty little woman of 90, and
was married to Watroth second time, hav-
ing been divorced for improper intimacy
with some young men. Duboise is 81, fine
looking, well educated, and the son of
wealthy parents who reside in Iowa. Tho
examination takes place tomorrow, and
some remarkable disclosures of illit love
and crime will be made. The body of
young Phillips has not been found. The

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR FIVE
TWENTIESf

The rapid calling in of the Fve-TwentIes of 1865
by the Government and the fact that the Five
Twenties of 1867, of which there are over three
hundred millions outstanding in the hands of the
investors come next in order, is causing general
inquiry among the holders of these bonds as to
which issue Of Government securities they shall Sc
lect in making an exchange while they can realize
the present premium.
The desirable bonds for Investment are the
"Fours," "Four-and-halfs" Fives,' "Ten-FOr-
ties" "Sixes of 1891" second and third seriesl and
Currency Skies"
I'm addition TO this demand from holders of Five
Twenties there is a large demand from new inyes-
tors more widespread than for many years.
We, therefore, naturally look for gradual adj
vance in the prices of the issues which are most de-
sTa lie. -
We have just published the fifth edition Of our
" MEMORANDA CONCERNING GOVERNMENT

gard 20 these securities and 10 give full information

During the week ending to-day continued de-

induces great deal of changing on their part for
the issues bearing lower interest, mainly the and

surmised in some quarters that they may be selling
