The resolution introduced in the
house by Mr.. OBrien, authorizing the
com mittee on accounts and expendi-
lures to pay over forty three hundred
dollars in settlement OF, claims growing
out OF the contest cases in the house
from Douglas county, will need to be
materially modified. The sum il pro-
poses to take out OF the public treasury
can be reduced nearly, ii not quite, one
half, without doing injustice to any
body. Granting that there is precedent
for paying all the claims embraced in
this resolution, by the state, it must be
apparent to everybody, save, perhaps,
those who are after the money, that a
portion of the charges are far beyond
what Is reasonable. This is consplcu-
ously true of the amounts ii Is proposed
to pay the attorneys. None Of these
lawyers could have devoted more than
sixty days to the preparation OF the case
for which he was retained, and very
likely did not give to exceed thirty,
while one Of them, the attorney for the
contestees, were at the same time
drawing Il salary at the rate of
twenty-five hundred dollars a year
as prosecuting attorney of Douglas
county, yet it is proposed to pay these
attorneys an amount that some Of them
would doubtless regard as II very salts
factory income for half u years work.
On the score of professional ability the
proposal to pay any n of these attor-
neys at the rate of thirty dollars or
more a day for the probable actual time
given tt the contest case cannot be JUS
titled, and the fact that they are work.
ing politicians should have 10 weight.
The provision for attorneys fees should
be reduced to at most fifteen hundred
dollars. 1t is probable that the stem
ographer's fees might also be pared
down, while the claim of contestants
for attendance is at least questionable.
But the clearly unreasonable and un-
w~arrantable demand is that for attor-
ney's fees, which, if cut down one-half,
will still amply pay for the service rem
dered.

and others prominent in the Irish
cause, and his hasty flight, presumably
with the aid of those upon whom he had
practlced the deception, must bring to
a sudden termination the investiga-
tion 30 far as Parnell is concerned,
though it wopld seem to be the duty OF
the commission TO allow the unques-
tionable fact to be shown that behind
Pigott and others engaged with him
there was a foul conspiracy. Justice
will not be fully satisfied unless there
shall be some punishment inflicted for
this most base and wretched business,
and an effort should be made to ascer-
tain who that can be held responsible
were behind the miserable criminals
hat have fed from the outraged law,
for there is reasonable ground OF belief
hat they had powerful aiders and
abetters. But tho commission was Gre
ated for a definite purpose, and 1T
may determine not to go outside
of this, in which case the desire Of
Parnell's counsel to extend the investi-
cation will not be complied with. In
this case, however, it is highly probable
that parliament will be asked to extend
the authority of the commission, so that
the conspiracy may be probed to the
bottom, and it is hardly possible that
such'a demand would be denied.
Unprejudiced men have never
doubted the vindication of Parnell.
All such accepted in full faith his UNI
qualified statement that he was not the
author OF the published letters alleged
to be his. His v~indication will make
him stronger than ever in the confidence
and respect OF freshmen and OF h
world, and should strengthen among
E%nglishmen the cause he champions.
The investigation has placed on him no
stain of d~isloyalty or Of dishonor, but
had only more fully shown him as the
wise, courageous, ~tireless and patriotic
leader of his countrymen in a cause the
justice of which only the supporters OF
despotic power deny.

OUT ON BALL
Gorton, the Alleged Train RobOer,
Valves Examination.

KANSAS City, Feb. 2~6.-[Special Telegram
to The BEE.l-H. L. Gorton alias
Jack Gorton," the alleged train and stage
robber, was taken before United States
Commissioner Wyne this morning for a pre-.
liminary examination on the charge of
robbing of q stage coach in Sonoma county,
California. The commissioners oflco was
crowded with postofice inspectors, United
States detectives and sheriffs from Califor.
MIA, Kansas and Missouri, who had all had Q
hand in tracing him. When the case was
called, Gorton's father, a venerable looking
old maj with a snow white beard, and other
relatives and his attorney were present. The
witnesses and spectators were dumbfounded
when Gorton 5 lawyer after a consultation
with his client waived examination. The
commissioner fixed his bond Mt 81, 900, and as
soon as possible Gorton will be taken to
California by the United States marshal, 10
answer the charge before the district court
having jurisdiction over Sonoma county.
Gorton asserts his innocence, and also denies
the charge that he and his brother robbed

CHICAGO has become unduly alarmed
over the prospects OF losing its hold on
the grain market Of the west. That
city has ceased to be the great wheat
center, since Minneapolis stepped into
the arena, and of late a complaint has
gone forth that the corn, which Chicago
claims legitimately to belong to it, is
being diverted to Duluth. For the past
few days large shipments OF corn from
Nebraska to Duluth have taken place,
influenced by the low transportation
rate and the special inducements offered
by the elevator men at that point. The
diversion has caused considerable
anxiety to those railroads which could
not meet the competition to Duluth. II
to the grain men at Chicago, who were
losing business. The news, however,
comes to hand hat the grain rates to
Duluth will be advanced next week,
making it the anne as the rate to Chi
cago from the grain belt c. Nebraska.
This might have been expected. The
pressure brought to Dear by Chicago
has been sufficient to readjust the rates
TO their former basis. 1t is likely,
moreover, that Duluth has purchased
as much corn as it's elevators can at
present accommodate, and the demand
has consequently fallen off. Shipping
corn to Duluth is an experiment, and
the result of it will be awaited with in
terest. 1t is highly probable that the
demand for corn lE Duluth will increase
as its elevator capacity is enlarged, and
that city may one day become a danger
GUS rival to Chicago.
