THE HEGMAN CASE.
The Prosecution Rests and Motion
Made to Dismiss.

The Hegman case was resumed yes
terday morning, the case coming up a
little late on account of the hardness of
some of the witnesses. Judge Shaw
opened the case by a continuance of the
argument against the admission of the
postal cards il evidence, signed by Heg-
mans name, addressed to Mr. Daven-
port. Judge Shaw argued that the cards
could not be introduced to show, first
that Hegman had made false count,
and second to show an intent to COM
NIT fraud. Said he: LET us take a
practical view OF the case and see
whether the prosecuting party has
right to do what it is doing. blow hot
and cold in the case in this complaint.
They allege that what he did he was re-
quired to do. that was lawful, that was
right. The charge has been made by
the government that Hegman lawfully
obtained certain names and did what he
should do under the law, and yet they
charge that, nevertheless, he has neg
lected and does neglect to forward the
sch edules, They simply charge him
with putting the information he OBJ
tanned in lawful schedules. Now, they
want to show that he did an unlawful
thing in not returning the reports.
They want to show that he has done
something which is not complained of
in this complaint. After first alleging
that he did what was right, now they
propose to show that he had no
right to do the same thing. Now, l
argue. your honor, that this testi-
mony is not admissible because it
plunges this court into an interminable
extent of collateral business. 1t looks
very much to me, this whole business
does, like fishing excursion on the
part of the government to get some evil
dence to bear upon the conspiracy cases
which are to come up to trial later. 1t
looks to me as though they were going
way out of their way to get at these
points IN order that the government
may have additional evidence to use in
the cases of conspiracy"
Judge Shaw also conteDded that the
cards were inadmssable, because it
could not be presumed that the sigma

TEARING OUT BREASTS.
One Of the Sickening Practices of
Indians at the. Sun Dance.

One Of the Sickening Practices of
Indians at the Sun Dance.
Philadelphia Times.
At the sun dance one of the young
Indian devotees is suddenly seized by
the medicine men. He is stripped
naked and laid on the fiat of his back.
Then the flesh of his brawny chest is
gathered into the left hand of one of
the doctors" who with the other
drives keen knife through the mus
Giles and tendOns, and forces after it a
stout wooden peg or skewer. which is
left to prOtrude couple of inches. A
similar SkeWer is drawn through the
left breast. Stout thongs are fastened to
the ends of the pegs and these in turn
to long lariat attached to the top OF a
pole perhaps twenty feet high.
White men who have been permitted
to look on turn away sick and faint even
at this part of the performance, but the
warriors never vince. Now they stand
the bleeding victim on his feet and give
him an eagles wingbOne whistle, and
now, my brave, is your turn.
Fix your eyes on the blazing sun;
never remove them for an instant; blow
your whistle and set to work. Leap.
tug, Straln, THROW your WuOle weight
against the skewers. What you have to
do is to tear yourself loose from that
awful pole, and to do it these skewers
must rip their way through tendon,
muscle and bleeding flesh. Aye, leap,
howl, run backward with all your
speed, hurl all your weight against your
tortured breasts and break loose if you
can. Only thus will your vow be full
filled.
Sometimes the splendid muscles hold
out for hours. Sometimes the sun goes
down. and still the fainting victims
strain at their fearful flesh. Some
times they swoon away, exhausted from
loss of blood. but mostly they bear the
torture as only Indians can. And when
at last they succeed in breaking loose
and fall, with their torn and bleeding
breasts blowing the dust of the terrible
Enclosure. rush is made by the friends
and relatives OF the triumphant brave.
He is born tenderly and proudly away.
He is petted and nursed, praised, his
wounds are dressed, and their scars be-
come in after life the silent and hideouS

Col. McCrory's Kick.

Assistant City Attorney Hall made a
motion yesterday morning in the dis

of commissioners for the assessment of
benefits and the award of damages be

the assessment and award of the COM

court appointed N. r. Thompson, A. D.

PLUMBERS AT THE LAKE.
They Had Most Enjoyable Time
at Their Picnic.

at Their Picnic.
The plumbers, the gas and steam fit
terS and their friends went out to Lake
Park yesterday for picnic. and no one
visited that part of Lake Minnetonka
without having good time. 1t was a
day of unallOyed pleasure to hard-work-
ing men. No beer was allowed on the
picnic grounds, and although there
were over LOCO persons present there
was not the slightest friction to mar the
pleasure of the day. A half dozen
young pickpockets were there and Sc
cured couple of purses, but they were
promptly caught by Officers Collins and
McNulty and the money returned.
Several of the smaller steamers
had been secured, and the pic
nickers enjoyed excursions on the
lake whenever they felt so inclined.
Some of the races were decided as fol-
lows: A. NJ, Hunter won the silk hat
in the master plumbers foot race; E. A.
Colliton the junior plumbers race, the
prize being kit of tools; j. Shomo, the
plumbers boat race; Miss Nora Con-
nOrs, the ladies' boat race; j. O'Don-
nell, the fat mans race. The tug of
war, between the plumbers and the
filters, was won by the steamfitters.
There was also a most interesting ball
game. in which victory was won by the
plumbers. All in all, it was Que of the
most successful picnics that ever oc
cured at Lake Park. and to John Neary
and Frank ConnorS is due good deal
of credit for the pleasure afforded the
picnickerS, as the affair was, in the
main, gotten up by them.

The San Francisco papers are just now
engaged in the delightful fraternal task of
exposing each others tricks and devices in
padding dispatches, operating grapevine
wires and filling up mammoth editions
and blanket sheets with reyamped stories
OF fishy odor and an ancient smell.
Were we disposed to do SO, we could point
ont daily the most ludicrous and pitiful
frauds in the emblazoned dispatches these
mammoth sheets, here and at the East,
print as news reports. In very
many instances they are stories of
the back number related and foisted
upon a confding public as news. But the
business of publishing genuine news is too
engrossing to leave time for exposure of
all news frauds in the sensational press.

GOOD vEToEs.

President Harrison will be commended
by public judgment for his vetoes of certain
bills making appropriations for new public
buildings in towns of minor Importance. He
well says that in town of no great popula-
tion, where the whole public service re-
quires only Postmaster and two clerks,
there is no need for costly structure.
The truth is that the demand for public
buildings in such places is not genuine
one-it is simply the result Of the vicious
@rider" and trading system. A bill is in
troduced providing for the erection of
public building at point where there is
legitimate demand and imperative need
for it, and where true economy dictates
that it should be erected. Concerning the
merit Of the proposition there is perhaps
no question raised; but other Congressman,
anxious to win local favor, Immediately
begin to offer amendments to the bill in
the nature of "riders," or to introduce
other bills for public buildings that are
unnecessary. These bills provide for APP
preparations for buildings in towns in their
districts where clearly the public service
does not require them. The author of the
original bill discovers that these riders
and tail-end bills are threats, in fact, to
defeat his measure, unless he purchases
the vote of the authors by agreeing to sup
port the supplemental propositions. 1t is
not putting the matter too strongly to say
purchase the support" for that is pre-
cisely what the scheme means. These sup.
Elemental cinching bills are numerous
enough to involve the loss of the original
measure, if the authors of the coerciye bills
combine, and since their interest is COM
mon one against the treasury they tacitly
'1pull together" Trades are thus put up
and the delivery of the goods cannot we'll
be prevented in most cases, save by the in
terposition of the Executive veto.

ORIGINAL PACKAGE BUSINESS

1t is said that in North Dakota on the
Prohibition law going into effect, about
half the saloons opened out as original
package establishments, while about one
half went out of business. Under the
Dakota Interpretation of the decision Of
the Supreme Court of the United States
importers of liquors in original packages
have the right to sell the goods in the
same packages in which received, so that
while treating over the bar is at an end
the traffic will go on in the form of sales Of
bottles, vials, sealed tumblers and test
tubes and the like. If this is the con.
struction of the law, then we have misap-
pretended the Interpretation by the Su-
preme Court. That tribunal held that
when the sealed or original package has
reached its destination and been delivered,
1t becomes part of the common property
OF the State, and is subject to the local
regulation laws. Now it would seem that
this means delivery of the original pack
age to the consignee, not the sale by him
of the goods to any other who may come
along. Ii, however, the Dakota construc-
tion is sound, then the system has simply
been changed in form and the Court has
really decided that local regulation of the
liquor traffic cannot be maintained. We
do not believe, however, that the Supreme
Court will submit to any such construction
of its recent decision, and shall continue to
so believe until the Court itself decides
that the Dakota construction is sound. If
that happens, then indeed the temperance
question will be forced into National
politics, and it will be impossible to keep
it out. That this is desirable position in
which to place it may well be doubted,
even by its most ardent friends. 1t be-
longs with communities and States, and
ought not to be removed to broader juris-
diction.

THE French Government is taking ener-

into that territory. The Surgeon-General
of the United States expresses the belief
that the pest will not reach this country.
So it may not, and yet it may. There are
three regular steam packet lines weekly
between Spanish and Atlantic ports on
this continent The disease is transmits
sible by ships carrying goods or passen-
gers. Spain sends to US weekly tons of
fruit and more tons Of textile fabrics. She
sends us from two to three hundred pas
sengers per month. Now, unless we take
precautions to bar out vessels coming from
infected ports, what reason have we TO
hope to escape the plague? Thus far not
single thing has been done to prevent its
introduction. But that is the American

AN EXAMPLE OF VICIOUS poL1r1cs.


In the election fraud trials in Hudson
county New Jersey, there was manifested
last week the most remarkably obllquity
OF moral vision and insensibility to crime
that we have ever heard of. The local
report runs thus, in part:
When Judges Lippincott and Paxton resumed
tnear seats this morning, Fallon was recalled
n, ne was wa asked now he happened to be clerk in
the First District when he was a resident of the
second He replied that be did not know, but
tnat ne knew another man who did the same
!nlng. he left his post during the day to vote
IN his own district, but did not record his leay-
ing He admitted ignorance OF the method of
keeping poll books. Questioned on the frauds
discovered in his books, Fallon could not ac-
count for the entries on the poll-book of the
names OF five men of one family who did not 90
near the ballotbox on election day, nor for the
also. ~ '-eAo
Oscar Friedenburg, of No, l46 Montgomery
street said that on the eve of election he went
70 headquarters and signed affidayits to the
y Ss, tnat me names inclosed represented men
legally qualified to vote. The witness admitted
That ne knew none of the men enrolled and
signed the affidavit not knowing that 1t was
regular and oath-bound; He did not mean to
swear 70 what he signed, though he did know
tnat the paper was previously examined and
signed by Notary. ''--,

Prosecutor Winfield.
Il knew it was political act.' was the reply
Here were men appointed to most i'm
portant stations, to aid in determining
what was the will of the people; but they
appear to have had no idea whatever of
the solemnity of the obligations under
which they acted-or at least they were so
callous In conscience that they committed
the most unblushing frauds and perjury
without twinge, and one of them ex-
cused his action by saying There are
others as bad as ]" The second attempted
to screen his crime behind the excuse of
political action~ Both knew they were
guilty. One lied in the effort to excuse
himself. The other told the truth. There
are plenty of men as bad as he, men who
have defrauded voters, stolen the weaponry
OF the American sovereign, aud reversed
the will of the people by stuffing poll-lists
and examining ballot-boxes. But the Sec
ond, while he evasively lied, did give the
key to the reason for his moral strabismus
that is, vicious politics. 1t was not a
political act to swear falsely, but it was a
political act of the order that bossism ex-
cuses. The insensibility of the two Jersey
witnesses, the apparent fearlessness of
their replies and their attempted defenses
go to show to what low level political
corruption and INSCRIPTIONS bossism may
bring men.
