PIGOTI,s METHODS.
Patrick Egan Publishes Letters
Showing the FOroer'S Methods.

showing the FOrger'S Methods.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 27. - Patrick
Egan said last evening that the Pigott
confession was not surprise to him.
"For twenty years." added Egan, 81
have known this man to be forger and
swindler, and for over eighty years ! have
known he was on the secret service pay
roll of Dublin Castle as an informer.
In March, 1881. he made his Infamous
attempt to extract blackmaii from me.
exposed him through the Dublin Free
mans Journal. That exposure cut
mischief. Since then he has
been forced to work by stealth.
When the London Times articles on
'Parnellism and Crime were published
two years ago, l knew that there was
not one man on earth outside of Pigott
who could weave so complete web
made up of lies and truth so sfillfully
intermingled that it required the closest
knowledge, not only of the surface, but
Of the undercurrent of the national
cause to distinguish one from the other.
When, in the O'DonneII case, the Times
brought forward some of its proofs, |
saw at once how the forgery was
worked" Mr.. Egan also said he be-
lieved there is deep conspiracy behind
this case, and that he would not be sur
priSed to see the names of certain men
prominent in English governmental cir
cleS made public in connection with it.
Mr.. Egan has made public a number of
the letters on which Richard Pigott
founded the clever forgeries which he
sold to the London Times, and which
formed the basis of the "ParnelliSm and
Crime" articles in that paper, leading
up to the Parnell-Times commission
and the exposure of the forger, as given
in yesterdays dispatches from London.
One OF the principal forgeries, purport-
ing to have been written to z. j. Sheri-
dan, was based by Pigott upon this let
ter. presumably written to Pigott:
March II, 1SS2.-DeaT Sir: As un-
derstand your letter, which reached me
to-day. you can not act as directed un-
less forward you money by Monday
next. Well, here is 950-more if re-
quired. Under existing circumstances
what you suggest would not be enter
tanned. L Iremain, dear sir,
patrick EGAN."
in June, 1881. Pigott offered to sell
out his. two papers to Mr.. Egan and Mr..
Parnell. and in the course of the negoti-
alton for the purchase, Mr. Egan wrote
Pigott as follows:
paris, June IS, 1SS1.-Dear Sir:
Your two letters of the 18th and 18th
inst. are duly at hand, and l am also in
receipt of communication from Mr..
Parnell informing me that he has acted
upon my suggestion and accepted the
offer contained III your first letter. In
fact, have before me copies of his two
letters to you. and am in position to
say that any request to increase the
amount named would not be enter
tanned, and that any hesitation or delay
in carrying out the transfer would lead
to the breaking off of the purchase alto
gether, ! remain, dear sir, yours truly,
''PATRICK EGAN

MORE PATERNALISM.

An analysis of the vote yesterday on
the Sunday law bill would prove rather a
matter of surprise to many. Two years
ago when we had, 1t seemed, a strictly pro-
hibition Legislature, the Sunday law was
changed and every business house, with
but few noted exceptions, WAS ordered
closed for the entire day on Sunday.
Before then the law had compelled the
closing of such places of business on
Sunday only from the hours of a. m. to
p. IN. The new law was clearly aimed
especially at the saloons and the beer
gardens of the state. That law has been
openly and notoriously violated ever since
the day it was placed upon the statute
books. Occasionally grand juries bring
in indictments for these breaches of the
law, the offenders pay fine and continue
the offense from Sunday to Sunday.
Before the enactment of that pro-
hibitory law the saloons, with but
exceedingly few exceptions, closed
their doors from 8 q. N. TO 1 p. N. on
Sunday, and the law in appearance and
in fact was complied with. The query is
presented, was not such state of things
better than the open and fagrant viola
tion OF the present law, common through
ont the length and breadth Of the state?
But it is not our intention to fight the
battle of the saloons; with them we have
no more common cause than with any
other licensed occupation of the,Estate.
This editorial is aimed at the kind of
legislation SO foroibly aud with telling
effect argued by Senator Burgess on the
floor of the senate yesterday in his advo-
caoy of the pending bill fixing the law as
1t was two years ago before being changed
by the prohibition legislature. In his
speech SenatorBurges lail down the broad
principles, so well established, that it was
not the duty of Legislature to enact
religious principles into man. The OBJ
seryance of the Sabbath day, so long as
neighbors' rights are not invaded, is a
matter of individual conscience, with which
q legislature has nothing to do. 1t
is not the part OF legislature

OFFERED MORE THAN SOUGHT.

What an example those OF the
north, the soldier element, who
suffered privation and danger in the
late war, are setting the politicians of
that section! Admiral Porter, for in,
stance, in warmly endorsing the effort to
maintain Confederate home here in
Austin and advising northern people to
contribute to it, closes his letter with
these words: "there should be no north,
no south, but one nation, over which the
Stars and Stripes should wave forever
What contrast this is with the utterances
Of time-serving politicians! Again,
Major General Baird writes from Wash
ington to the New York citizens commit
tee soliciting funds for our Home:
"The fact that portion of our coun-
trymen are in distress and need pecuniary
assistance Is sufficient appeal to the
generous and kind-hearted. 1t Is not
necessary,nor is it magnanimous,t to inquire
how they came to want. l have strongly
endorsed General Sherman's proposition
to open the home provided by our own
sacred and honored veterans to those dis
abled in the different cause. While dis
tinguished leaders of the rebellion hold
high positions in the government and are
welcomed in all our social gatherings, it
seems to me a strained sentiment to pro-
nounoe one-legged Confederate an unfit
com panion for our battle-bruised but
much respected old soldiers"
This is equitable, it is generous in the
extreme. 1t goes much further than has
ever been asked by southern soldiers.
They have not asked pensions at the hands
of the general government nor admit,
lance to the homes prepared for northern
soldiers. This tender by General Sherman
and seconding by General Baird come
unsolicited by the battle SCARED heroes OF
the south. But it is heartily appreciated
as the generous impulse and sentiment
that spring from admiration of brave
men for brave men. 1t is good index OF
the drift Of opinion and of popular will
that will wash over and drown the rancor
and spite of political jealousies and ha'
treds. 1t is the outcropping of agenuine
noble sentiment, which has about it the
ring of metal that will stand the test OF
years and change.

The legislature of Tennessee has de-
oided to make the Hermitage, the home

OK Confederates. Now, if the legislature

thereof can be used for similar purpose,
it will be the contamination of noble

THE Express puts the case very tersely
rs follows: "The strongest argument in

much worse by Its members disagreeing,
and thus letting the epidemics in?

Victoria, in the house yesterday, favoring
an appropriation of fifteen Thousand dol
lars for the erection of monument to be

of the most eloquent and touching pieces
of oratory heard upon the floor of the
house this session. The appropriation
was carried with scarcely a dissenting
voice.

WOULD Texas have been what she is to-
day had we not had the brave, self-deny-
ing, patriotic veterans of half century
ago? Let us give honor 10 whom honor
is due. In the brief span of lifeleft these
heroic men, their days should be filled
with all the comforts and honors that
can be showered upon them. Austin now
has an opportunity to show how much she
appreciates their services; will she not
prove herself equal to the oooasionr
