A BoAIBsHELL has been exploded in
Nebraska political circles by the an
that the verdict in the
Boyd-Thayer contest case was rem
dered by the supreme court without
a discussion of the issue and merits
of the case by the judges of the court.
During the entire proceedings there
was not a conference held at which
Judge Maxwell was permitted to ex-
press his views. Judge Cobb was
out of the state several weeks, and
Norval, the youngest man on the
bench, was the ostensible author of
the majority opinion to which Cobb
appended his name after a private
consultation of which Maxwell was
entirely ignorant Tho writ of GUS
ter was ordered on the authority OF
Judge Cobb, without the knowledge OF
Maxwell and Norval. Judge Max

The End.

'land of the free and the home of the

EMPEROR WILLIAM is reported as
saying in a public speech: Il am
master of this country, I alone"
People IN this country cannot see
how it is possible for a public man
to make such an expression in an en-
pire governed by written constitu-
ton. But kings have not yet been
weaned from the old idea of ruling
by divine power; they do not seem to
realize the modern divinity of the
ballot, but they will, they must. Lib
erty enlightening the world is sub
lime thought symbolized in the blaz-
ing electric light of the Bartholdi
statue, and that enlightenment will
yet teach all kings that the ballot is
mightler than the crown.-iSt Joe.

this case-was the right of the state to

THERE have been during the past
winter more Americans than usual in
Rome. But with the close of the sea-
son they have scattered and gone,
some to the north and some for a
short trip in the south before leaving
Italy. Their places have not been
filed by newcomers. It is said that
there are not one-tenth the number
now in Rome that there were at the
beginning of April. The diplomatic
troubles between Italy and America
have diverted the tide of travellers to
Spain, Switzerland and other parts of
Europe. Though there has not been
the slightest foundation for reports
of outrage or insults to Americans,
the underlined dread of eventualities
was sufficient to prevent thousands OF
Americans from visiting Italy.

The HERALD has been asked if it
was contrary to law to circulate the
Kansas City Sun. The following
from the Capital tells of the trouble
of an agent at Topeka:
H. L. Strohm, attorney for the
Kansas City Sunday Sun, came up
from Kansas City yesterday to look
after Swartz, the SUMS clrculator
who is still in jail. A motion was
made in the district court to reduce
Swartz bail, and the judge made it
$1,000 instead of $1,000, but it is
doubtful wheather Swartz can raise
even this amount. Strohm says the
law under which Swartz is arrested Is
unconstitutional, and the moment the
court is called upon to pass upon it
the law will be declared invalid.
He says it passed the legislature ir-
regularly, and can be defeated on that
score. Besides, he says that it, de-
prives a man of liberties granted by
the constitution.
