SUPREME COURT RELIEF.
Little Chance for the Judges to overtal

Little Chance for the Judges to Overtake
the Growing Docket
LINCOLN, Jan. 1S.-[Specal to THE BEE +
Speaking OF the article in TIE BEE Of tnis
morning concerning the overhurdened con-
dition Of the supreme court docket, gen.
tleman who probably has as much business
with the court as any other man in the state
said that there were several reasons why
the business of the supreme court had in
creased so rapidly in Ne braska,
"ln the first place, said he, 'the consti-
tuition fixes no limit upon the number Of
cases which may be brought TO the court.
The amount involved in the case at issue is
not limited the rules Of the court do not
require printed records and do not require
parties TO ask leave to file cases. In some
states cases cannot be brought before the
supreme court until the court itself gives
permission. Such rule in this state would
doubtless relieve the court of many of the
cases now brought to its attention. If
parties to suits were required TO file printed
records many cases involving small amounts
of money would not be filed, for the expense
of printing the records would deter many.
Under the present law any case involving
even the smallest amount OF money can be
brought to the supreme court, and many
cases which hardly deserve the serious
attention of a justice court are often placed
on the docket"
Court May Catch Up.
1t is the opinion of numbe of attorneys
and officials connected with the court that
with the aid nf the commission the supreme
court will catch up with the business. This
opinion is not shared by great many others,
and many are of the opinion that some addi-
uonal relief must sooner or later be granted
the court. The counties of Douglas and
Lancaster alone supply about one-third of
the cases reviewed by the court The last
general docket contained about 800 cases.
OF this number 359 originated in Douglas
county and 1S6 in Lancaster. 1t has been
suggested that the establishment of an APP
pellate court for Douglas county would re-
lieve the pressure, or even general APP
pellate court Missouri provides appellate
courts for St. Louis and Kansas City. Hi
nois has a system of appellate courts. Colo
RADIO has adopted the general appellate court
system while Ohio and California have two
divisions of the supreme court, acting along
lines very similar to the one adopted by the
supreme court and the supreme court COM
mission in Nebraska.
In a conversation with THE BEE recently
Justice Post of the Nebraska supreme court
expressed himself very favora bly, to the com
mission. He believed the commission was of
more value to the interests having business
before the court than an increase in the
membership of the main court, for the rea-
son that the time of the court is largely
lar sessions, such as listening to arguments
and passing upon motions The commission
is hampered by none of this routine work
and is thus enabled to give its entire time to
the consideration of cases placed in it's hands
by the supreme court. The operation of the
law for nearly year has convinced the
court of the value of the commission.

Three Points to Consider.

1t was argued by Messrs. Cowau and
Dawes that when doubtful provision of
statutory law is presented for the consider
alton of the court there are three cardinal
tests which may be applied 10 it In order TO
ascertain the legislative intent. First, the
inspection of the statute itself; second the
Equity of the statute; third, the comparison
Of the statutes upon the same subject mat
ter. The statutes should be interpreted In
the most beneficial way which their Ian
guage will permit, TO prevent absurdity,
hardship or injustice TO favor public con-
venence and TO oppose all prejudice TO pub
lie interest.
Taking up the argument upon the case
specifically in point, the attorneys contended
that the existing evils which this law was
Intended to correct were of long standing,
and often either directly claimed the atten-
lion OF the public. There had not been, up
TO the passage of this law, any act oompell-
Ing deposits of state funds in the banks OF
the state. In theory these funds were sup
posed TO be idle, locked up in the treasury
vaults of the state. There was, however, in
face OF this theory or fiction, a general sus-
picion, not 10 say we'll founded belief, that
these funds were not idle and that they
we're mol locked IN the treasury vaults OF

Distributed for deposit among certain
favored banks, aud were yielding an income

BIMETALIC LEAGUE.
The Silver Advocates in Session al
the National Capt.
tal

WASHINGTON, D. c., August IT,
The necessity OF an immediate
and thorough organization to push
bimetalism was discussed at a spe-
cial conference of the American BIZ
metallic league, which convened
yesterday, Thirty or forty mem
bers of the league from various
States were present..
Gen. A. ] Warner, president of
the league, acted as chairman, and
among those present were; Sena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada; Congress
man Pence and Congressman Bell,
of Colorado; Judge Shelton, of Con
necticut and c. S. Thomas, of Colo
RADIO. The conference opened with
long talk on "the difficulties in
the way of restoring bimetalism' by
Senator Stewart of Nevada.
Gen. Warner stated the objects
of the meeting. Congress, he as
sumed, had now completed its work,
many of the State conventions had
been held and platforms adopted by
both parties in the western states
and have included both the single
gold standard the bimetallic stand
ard. The tariff bill also had been
disposed of.
cit is time" he said, ito push
the silver question to the front and
subordinate all other issues to that
issue from now on.
He urged organization for action
in the various States, instead of
"mere talk.
G. s. Thomas, who represents Col
orado, urged unity of action and
adherence to some definite plan to
advance bimetallic principles. Judge
Shelton also spoke.
The afternoon session was devot-
ed to discussion of the coinage
laws. A number of speeches were
made bearing on the claim that le-
gal authority to coin silver exists
The speeches were based on the as
sertion that the repeal of the Sher-
man act does not repeal the clauses
in the Bland-Allison act reviving
the coinage act of 1887.
The following committee was APP
pointed to examine the coinage
laws and report to the league; G.
S. Thomas of Colorado, Alexander
Fulton of Delaware, j. Gallagher
of Ohio, John Shelton of Connect
cut and Hon. Isaac Sharp of Kan
sas.

NEW TARIFF FEATURES.

If we may accept as true the
conclusions reached by various au-
thorities on the subject at Wash
ington, the new tariff bill is morally
certain to meet all the objections
of the German government to the
provisions of the sugar schedules in
the Mckinley tariff act, as it places
all foreign countries on an equal
footing BY the Mckinley act an
additional duty of one-tenth of |
cent per pound was levied en- all
sugars above 16 Dutch standard
when exported from any country
which places directly or indirectly
a bounty on the expectation of SUI
gar that may be included in this
grade, which is greater than is paid
on raw sugars of a lower saccha-
rine strength. This provision re
suited III admitting Tree from the
increased duty sugars from coun-
tries paying indirect bounties be-
cause their bounties were greater
on the lower grades than on the
higher German and Australian
Hungarian sugars which alone came
within this provision, and hence
their protest against what they
termed a discrimination. In the
present bill the words (which is
greater than is paid on raw sugars
of lower saccharine strength" are
omitted and which leaves sugars
from all foreign countries on exact
ly the same basis.

STATE CANDIDATES AT CORNING

CORNING, August II. The guber-
material candidates spoke here this
afternoon to fair audience, The
audience contained a sprinkling of
Republicans, few Populists, but was
mostly Democratic.
Remmel spoke first, followed by
Barker and then Clarke. All re-
ceived the closest attention, and to
say that Clarke had much the best
of the argument is putting it mild
ly. Barker said that he had paid
all his taxes, State and county, but
avoided mentioning the poll tax.
To the average citizen it seems
strange that if he he has really paid
his poll tax, he does not exhibit his
receipt. This would put an end
forever to the contention and would
be somewhat of boomerang on his
opponent. Kennels friends were
somewhat disappointed at his effort
and everything was as quiet as a
graveyard at his close, while Clarke
received quite an ovation in the
way of applause.
Clay county is in line for the full
ticket and is almost to a man for

CLEVELAND WRITES TO WILSON

A special dispatch of yesterday,
from Washington, D. c., says;
Chairman Wilson has just received
a letter from President Cleveland,
written since the passage, by the
House, of the Senate tariff bill.
The Presidents letter is personal
and sympathetic, but contains a
highly significant reference to the
present attitude of the Democratic
party on the issue of the tariff re
form.
Mr.. Cleveland says as soon as he
heard of the decision to pass the
Senate bill. he Immediately thought
of Mr. Wilson and at once sat down
to write him a brief note, express
i've of his feelings Realizing fully
the great effort made by Mr. Viii
son to bring about different result
he knows his disappointment must
be keen and lasting. He urges him,
though, not to despair, and says
that he, too, has felt great disap-
pointment. At this time the Pres
ident says, he had come to doubt
whether after all the Democratic
party was the real party of tariff
reform, but he had not permitted
himself to entertain the thought,
realizing Immediately that no mat
ter what might be the temporary
obstacles in the way of progress the
party must continue its crusade
and the members must remain loyal
to the cardinal principles of their
organization.
At least half of the letter is Civ
en- up to admonishing Mr.. Wilson
that he must exercise great care
in outstanding his strength and
seeking complete restoration to
health. The President urges him
not to be cast down on account of
defect, but to devote his thoughts
to regaining his full forces in order
that he may continue the fight for
tariff reform, in which the Presi-
ident assures him he will always be
looked upon as a gallant leader.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.

Owing to the fact that the State
Board Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Arkansas, has not yet completed its
labors, at Little Rock, the assess
ment Of railway values has yet to

will not be concluded until the last

Therefore, no totals can yet be
obtained. The Board has simply
fixed the valuation per mile of road
bed, rolling stock and buildings.
The multiplications will take time.
1t is estimated that The total as
sessment this year will exceed that
of the last by about $500, 600
