Whatever theory these officers had been
working on had been summarily fTus-
trated by Hendricks taking them both
prisoners.

cision. summed up the whole chain OF

one. and only the secret service depart

would speedily bring about his place the

pected to be besieged in the end, but as
wa on a large scale had been part OF his
calculations from the start, this did not
deter him. He calculated as usual. with
great shrevduess on the element of time.

In order TO narrate what occurred in the

back TO Miss Laport.
Miss Laport WIS slender and pretty

great abundance Of beautiful wavy chest

IN which there were Indications of strong
character and much spirituality. She had
received an excellent education when her

suffered deeply when his disgrace came.
She was now living a life Of expectancy

Omaha daily bee., 1894-01-29
THEY ARE CONFIDENT.

The supporters of the Wilson bill are
confident THAT the measure, with the in
come tax proposition included, will be
passed by the house when the vote is
taken on it, probably next Thursday.
1t seems to be generally conceded that
this will be the result, and the repub-
licans of the house are fully prepared
for it. They do not propose to make
anything like a persistent fight to defeat
the bill, for the reason that they believe
it would be hopeless. The democratic
opposition to an income tax has not de-
veloped the strength it was ex-
pected to, and it is evident can
not be relied upon to eve delay the
passage of the tariff bill in the house,
to say nothing of preventing it. Fifty
democrats united with the republicans
could decide the fate of the bill, whether
it should be recommitted or defeated,
but it seems to be assured that so large
anumber of democrats cannot be induced
to put themselves in hostility TO the bill
and a less number could accomplish
nothing. Besides, the, republicans want
nothing short of the defeat of the bill.
They do not see that anything is to be
gained by recommitting it and take the
view that it is better to let it go to the
senate at once. Very few democrats, it
is safe to say, will Join them in this
position, although the number opposed
to various features of the bill is UNI
doubtedly strong enough, in union with
the republicans, to defeat 1T.
The indications now are, therefore,
that the tariff bill, embracing the entire
democratic revenue scheme, will pass
the house and go to the senate this week.
Its fate in that body will then become u
matter of interesting conjecture. The
general impression now is that
it will undergo numerous amend
ments, but no II interested
should count too strongly upon
this idea. Still the senate will undoubt-
edly make changes in the bill. 1t will
not be surprising if it shall alter the
sugar schedule, for which the Louisiana
senator's may be expected 20 make u
vigorous fight, perhaps aided by those
of Florida. The senators from Alabama,
Tennessee and West Virginia will ask
for some protection for iron and coal,
and If they stand together they will be
likely to get it. 1t ought to be safe to
count upon at least a dozen democratic
senator's in opposition to an in
come tax. Manifestly there will
be opportunity for combinations that
may bring about a number of
very material changes in the bill as
il will go from the house.
As to the course Of the senate repub-

side Of New York and still within the
circuit which embraces that state, and
1t would seem that a proper considera-
tion for the important interests involved
would have led him to do this. AS
1t is, the New York senators have been
given the opportunity to claim that the
president deliberately sought a conflict
with them and TO make out what will
seem to many Il very plausible case. Mr..
Cleveland having put himself in this
position, doubtless feeling that it is his
prerogative to make appointments with
out consulting senators in advance, as
unquestionably it is, he is very likely to
adhere to the position, in which case it
is impossible to say when the vacancy
on the supreme bench will be filed. The
whole country suffers from the effects Of
this kind of q political vendetta.
Omaha daily bee., 1894-01-29

NOTHING but the extreme frigidity of
the weather has prevented the final
modification of several gubernatorial
booms which have been displayed on
ice for several weeks at the state capital.
When warm weather comes these pre-
mature boomlets will shriyel up and
leave nothing but an unpleasant odor
to remind the people that they ever
existed. The republican party is not so
sure of victory in the coming campaign
that it can nominate Inen for office
whose only qualification for place is
hat they have made a living out OF
politics for so many years that they do
not know how TO care for themselves in
any other way.

Peckham. NO nominee over 60 years of age

Louisville Couricr-Jourual: The president
may appoint n supreme court Justice by and
with the consent of the United States
senate. That does not mean that he should
consult the senate before sending TO IL tho

constitution defining one senator, or the two
senators from any state, as the United
States senate.
Washington Post: If tho organ of the

New York Sun: II Is a melancholy spec
tacle TO see The president of the United
States making the supreme court a field in
which TO carry on personal controversies
with his hated political benefactors. IL is
manifest that he has nominated Mr..
him most fit for the bench Of that great
tribunal, but because he thinks tho nomina-

William b. Hornblower. This Is small busi-
ness. indeed

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 5.

LINCOLN, Jan. 27.-To the Editor of THR
BEE; The number Of cases on file in the SUI
preme court and undisposed OF is about 400.
About 900 OF those have been submitted TO
the court. The commission has now been at
work nearly eleven months, and a compari-
son Of the number Of cases fled with those
disposed of during that time, would tend to
show within what time the cases on file
would be disposed Of. Cases of public inn
portance, motions, etc, with such original
cases as the court may entertain, are entitled
to be ADVANCED and be dc out of their
order on the docket. | think IL Isl safe to
assume that The cases now on file in the SUI
preme court, together with other business
which, under the rules, is entitled TO be adj
vanced, will require at least three years to
dispose of, and in the meantime cases are
accommodating at the rate of from 600 to 700
per year. II is very evident unless
there Is to be a complete denial OF Justice
some remedy should be provided at once.
Tho right of review in the supreme court in
trivial cases should be greatly abridged or
entirely cut Off. II may be necessary also
to create an appellate court as In chicago,
Kansas City and st. Louis.
SccOnd-One of the objects of the statute
in providing for the investment of money in
the hands of the state treasurer, "~belonging
TO the several current funds" was to permit
the state TO take up It's own warrants, and,
IN effect, 10 pay interest TO inc school lunu
in place of to outside parties. Senator Con-
nor Of kcarney, who was n warm advocate
of the proposition, stated publicly time and
again that he had that particular object in
view. 1t is evident, however, that somo
mode must be devised TO invest the perma-
nent school fund, as the state cannot afford
to accept 3 per cent a year on such fund
when it can be readily loaned on iirst-class
security at from 6 to $ per cent. Three per
cent Is a very low rate of interest and the
state should not accept That when 1t is pos
sible by u change in the constitution to pro-
cure more than twice as much.
Third-A railway commission should be
elected by the people at large ana be di-
rectly responsible TO them, and this can only
be done by constitutional amendment.

THE ODIOUs INCOME TAX.

Philadelphia Record, (dem.): An official
statement shows that it would cost but 1.6
per cent to collect an income tax. 1t might
be a dear bargain at much less than this
figure.
Boston GLOBE (dem.): No revival of a sys-
tenn of war taxes in time of peace! No resur-
rection of the odious income tax. buried
years ago beneath the condemnation of a
whole people!
Philadelphia Ledger (ind.): The income
tax pill may pass the house, but, fortunately,
the chances for its passage in the senate do
not appear favorable. In the senate the
democratic majority is small, and if the
revenue bill reaches President Cleveland it
will likely be a modified Wilson bill, without
its absurd income tax supplement-.
New York Herald Gnd. dem.): To assume
Tor a moment that Americans would submit
to such a despotic inQuisition into their
private business and personal affairs by a
horde of paid official spies is simply an in
suit to a people who wrote in the funda-
mental chart OF their government, 1.-THE
right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers and effects against
unreasonable searches and seizures shall not
be violated" The people of this country do
not believe in q tax which Is soCialistic and
sectional. They do not want a tax which
begets fraud, blackmail and perjury. They
will not tolerate a monarchical, inquisitorial
tax, whose collection calls for an army of
arrogant official spies. 1t would be simply
suicide for any party to enforce such an in
famous imposition upon the country Let
the democrats beware lest they mako the
reckless blunder of supporting the outra-
eeous measure which their ways and means
committee has devised.
