The sentence Of thirty days i'm
prisonment imposed by Judge Scott
Editor Rosewater OF the Omaha Bee
for alleged contempt is a judicial out
rage. 1t seems that an editorial
article had appeared in the Bee, in
which reference was made to the
pulls" which certain criminals have
with the courts The editorial coat
seems to have fitted Judge Scott, who
at once put it on and summoned Mr..
Rosewater before him The editor
came and showed that he had been
out of the city and never knew Of or
saw the article published until it was
printed. Nevertheless the Judge sem
fenced him to a term IN Jail. On The
face Of the telegraphic report there IS
personal malice in the courts action
and it should be denounced accord
ingly,-Ne,cs.

illegal Fees.

Assistant Secretary of State Ierch-
or has written letter No. 4, III which
he shows up some more republican
rascality. 1t relates to the issuance
of charters to the various religious,
charitable, fraternal aud other or
CARNATIONS, and how they were rob.
bed by republican state secretaries in
the charges for the same. 1t would
appear that they have robbed every
thing from the cradle to the grave.
The partial list which MIR. Zercher
made out includes churches, q. A. H..
posts, missionary societies, Masonic,
Odd Fellows and X. of p. lodges, W.
r. corps and cemetery associations.
With few exceptions the legal fees
on all these amounts to 81 90, while
the charges have been from $3.50 to
$500. All this went into the pockets
of the secretaries, or into the repu6tj-
can campaign fund, or at least any
where but into the state treasury,
for there is not a single record Of "a
cent of it going in there.
There is no way of estimating the
total amount of unlawful fees
thus collected as no record fee
book was kept 10 the secretary's office.
But when the fee accompanied the
charter, sometimes the fee received
was marked on the charter. The rec
ord obtained this way is an index TO
the fees charged for nineteen
years. The institutions named in Mr.
Zercher's list, belonging to this coun-
ty are church of TRANSPORTATION,
Logan, legal fee 81 90. fee charged
81. so; Reformed church, Long Island,
legal fee 81 90, fee charged $3.50
Two churches and one club ID
Wichita and one church and two
clubs in Topeka received their chart.

Coxey's Army,

What do we think of Coxey's army?
Why, we think it true exhibit of the
fruits of the past 30 years rule Of this
nation. Individually, but few Of this
class deserve pity. Collectively, they
are a phenomenon that may cause
good citizens Of all parties to realize
that something is radically wrong
with the body polite.
These men are now going to Wash
iugton as protest to congressional
action, past and present; and yet 8
out of 10 of these men have stood
ready and willing all these years to
destroy and defeat any of these con-
gressmen who would have voted IN
congress any different from what
they have. Nine out of 10 of them
are used to marching; they have
done it for years, in torchlight pro-
cessions, whooping it up for Harrison
or Cleveland, or some other agent for
plutocracy, They have had heap
of fun, They have enjoyed it hugely,
rotten egging those who make green
back and union-labor speeches, or
burning in effigy those who warned
, them that the continuous character of
our national legislation meant the
pauperism Of the masses.
But that session has passed, and
they now stand face to face with the
results for which they are us much to
blame as any one
Generally speaking, the govern
ment of this country has been, and
will continue to be, just as good as
the political conduct of the people.
For twenty years, through these
these columns, we have sought to
warn the people against their vicious
voting. During that time we have
been frequently boycotted, our life
threatened, our business injured, and
the majority of those most active in
this conduct were old party farmers.
But the passing of time has taught
many of these that we taught no idle
tales, for many of them who then
owned extensive and cultivated farms
; are to day homeless and fit subjects
for Coxey's army.
Men must be taught the RESPONSE
billty of a vote, and it is a just provi-
sion of nature that every vicious act
will bring evil. There are hundreds
of thousands suffering for want of
money, yet for 30 years they have
voted to make money scarce. When
the majority vote right, misery will
disappear. OttalU0 Journal.

The Value of Franohlsaa.

When, the late Thomas Corrigan
sold out LIS street car lines he receiv-
ed for them / million dollars IN cash.
A very small proportion of this
amount would have covered the cost
of the plant, There was no machin-
cry, the entire equipments OF the
roads consisting of the tracks, which
had to be torn up, cars which were
we'll worn and soma slow-gated
mules. The chief consideration which
figured in this large TRANSACTION was
the franchises. 1t was these which
gave improperly its great value, aud
which made Mr.. Corrigan very rich
man.
The other day when Mr.. Smith sold
the Kansas City Gable railway he re-
ceived for the property over SSOO,OOO,
In this transfer as in the case of the
Corrigan lines, the franchise was the
chief item. 1t represented worth
far away in excess Of the value of the
plant. 1t was that for which the pur-
chasers paid The tracks will need
immediate repairs and the appoint
ments of the line in general are far
from perfect. 1t will require a large
outlay Of capital to bring them up TO
an efficient standard. But the right
to use the streets which run through
the most populous portion Of the city
is worth all of the big sums OF money
involved in this transaction and much
more.
The list OF men who have been
made rich in this city by franchises
derived from the city might be large
ly increased. The big profits of the
gas and water works companies, the
telephone company and the rapid
transit companies have all been made
possible by the use of privileges
which have been obtained from the
city as gratuities. These franchises
have enriched the persons upon whom
they have been conferred without
bringing to the city one dollar in thu
way of direct equivalent, The vas

number Of military land warrants upon
some Of the choicest lands in North

came financially embarrassed, and.
failing to pay taxes upon his Iowa
lands. they were sold at tax sale. The
tar titles thus acquired were purchased
by parties who improved the lands and
haves for many years resided upon
them. In October, 1893, Irwin died in
Nebraska, and now his heirs have
brought suit to redeem from the tax
sales, claiming Irwin was insane at the
time the lands were sold for taxes and
SO continued up to the time Of his
death. In Clay county alone over 70
