Omaha, Dec. 24.-The federal court
authorities today received evidence that
counterfeit money in considerable
quantities has been turned out Of the
Nebraska state penitentiary. The
story came out through j. G. Fraser,
an ex-convict, while 'testifying in the
United States court. Frazer said that
counterfeit money was made in the pen
itentiary and put into circulation from
there. Asked If he had received any Of
ii, he said no, because he did not be-
long tod gang" and 1t would there
fore do him no good. He explained the
gang as meaning the officers OF the in
stitution. He did not mean the war
den, but some of the men in the employ
OF the contractor. He gave names, in
Guiding that of one man who was a
foreman in the penitentiary until the
state bought out the contract. 1t will
be investigated.

Defeat of the Dominion Government
Predicted.
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. PA special to
ne Pioneer Press from Winnipeg, Man
ftoDa, says:
There is great excitement among pol
iticfans here over the announcement
OF the general election within three
weeks time. 1t is a fight between the
dominion and the provincial authori-
ties. The general opinion is that the
province cannot lose. Defeat at the
polls on the school question would be a
bad blow TO The Greenway government.
The Tribune, organ of the Greenway
government, sounds the keynote Of the
campaign in these words:
There are few honest, patriotic Man
itooans but viii heartily endorse the &C
ton of iale GreenWay government in de-
Gliding, even as huTTi%dly as they did,

province on the conduct OF the great is
sue that has troubled us for years, and
to secure the dictum Of the people to
go forward and stoutly maintain the
undoubteC right of Manitoba to pre-
serve the present system OF schools.
By what right does the Dominion gov

Of her autonomy. II We did not know
that in seeking to cOerce this province

The Negro Member Attended the Recep.

A Richmond, Va, special says: The
enemies of Governor O'Ferrall of this
state are disposed to use to his disadvan-
tage the fact that he received colored
member of the Massachusetts legislative
committee at the executive mansion here
last Friday. The fact is that the govern
or, in his official capacity, invited the
members of that committee to meet him
at the mansion. He knew nothing of
the fact that Representative Teamoh, a
colored man, was one of the committee
until he found him with his associate
committeeman in th g parlor of the man
sion. Teamoh did not 60 to the house
in company with the other members of
the committee, but drove there with Ed
itOr Mithell, colOred man who con-
ducts the Planet, a paper published he re
IN the interest of his race. When Gov
ernor O'Ferrall saw the negro legislator
raised, but, as he was there purely in an
official capacity, he saw no way of ignor-
ing him without being extremely rude.
A slight repast had been prepared at
the mansion for the visitors. When the
party was invited to adjourn to the din
ing room and partake of the governors
hospitality the colored man, Teamoh,
accompanied by Mitchell, did not hest
tate to JOIN tie others. This fact added
to the hosts embarrassment, which he
possibly could not conceal. Had the
visit not been strictly an official one it is
certain that the governor of this state
would have plainly indicated to Teamoh
that his presence was not only not de-
sired, but would not be tolerated. This
incident was probably extremely unpleas
ant to Senator Darling and some of the
other white members of the Massachu-
setts committee.

AN IMPORTANT COURT DECISION
Touching Upon the Operations of FOREIGN
Loan Companies.

CPoh the Operations of Foreign
Loan Companies.
A recent decision rendered IN thu
superior court of Lee c,unty, this state,
has caused considerable newspaper com.
ment. This discussion, touching the
operations OF foreign loan companies
Will be of interest to the large class OF
persons who have mortgaged their lands
to concerns for borrowed money, or who
contemplate doing so. Commenting on
1t, the Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
"The Lee county case is tina. of the
Freehold Land Mortgage Company of
London, limited, VS.. Carrie E. Taylor.
The suit was brought in 1888 on a prom
issory note for $4,000 given in 1881. De-
fault occurred in the payment of interest,
and, by the provisions of the note, the
entire debt was declared due and action
commenced to collect it, The loan was
made through the Corbin Banking Com
pany, as has been the custom of the con.
Germ in this section. The evidence dis
closed that the company in this $4,000
transaction retained $1,000, or 20 per
cent commission, and that Mrs. Taylor
received only 1880 net for her note. BY
the face of the note and interest coupon,
the money was payable in New York at
the Office of Corbin Banking Company
The defendant, Mrs. Taylor, contended
that this rendered it the same as New
York contract, and as the note called for
per cent interest on it's face, the whole
debt was rendered void, because the New
York legal rate of interest is only per
cent, and under the New York law the
penalty for an attempt to collect more is
forfeiture of the entire debt. The de-
PENDANT further ccntended that she had
borrowed the money to pay her husband S
debts The plaintiff contended that the
transaction was Georgia contract, and
the Georgia law legalized s per cent in
terest. The plaintiff also contended that
tie husbands debt was for purchase
money of land which he had decided to
his wife without paying for it. The jury
returned a verdict for Mrs. Taylor, sus-
tanning two of her pleas, first that it was
a New York contract and void for usury,
and, second, that it was the assumption
of the husbands debt by his wife. 1t is
likely there are many cases in the south
similar to the Lee county case, and more
of them may be heard of in the courts.

Adieu to America.

-
steamship Horsa, with two hundred
1,berian emigrants, sailed from Savan-
nob this afternoon. Five thousand ne
,roos gathered on the wharves and
s,oorod the vessel as it passed down the
-;,or Knots of negroes began gather
:nr in the vicinity of the dock where the
s+oamer was lying early this morning.
Tbo number kept increasing and at noon
oovaral thousand were packed in the
streets and lanes and covered the roofs
81 bindings for several blocks. The
o4ort of Rev. C. S. Smith, secretary of
4bo Sunday School Union of the African
Methodist church, who has been endeav-
oring to prevent the clearance OF the
vessel on the ground that she was not
oroperly equipped, failed to accomplish
anything.
The accommodation of the Horsa com
plied fully with the law and the vessel
nassed thorough inspection by the Gus
toms officials.
Shortly after noon the gates to the
wharf where the emigrants were waiting
were opened and the negroes went
aboard
It was a curious procession, ranging in
ace from the baby in arms to the old
man lettering on the verge of the grave.
The women came first and made strange
contrasts. One with a checked apron
and a sunbonnet WIS followed by a
iauntily-dressed girl of more teuder
wears, with gaundy plumed hat and
bright ribbons. Some carried valises,
others buckets, others tins full of small
articles. After the women came the
men. some with shotguns, rifles, and
others with assorted luggage. All were
sent into the stern of the vessel and
grouped together in order that picture
OF the vessel might be taken. The count
sh) we'd POP, of which 80 were children
and infants. The clearance papers put
the number at 1877.
TAKING PLENTY OF SUPPLIES.
Over four hundred trunks and boxes
were taken as baggage. In the boxes
are agricultural implements, firearms,
ammunition, household utensils and sup
plies, clothing, etc. The party will
probably be the best equipped that has
ever left America for the dark continent.
Since their arrival in Savannah they
have spent probably 81, 800 to $4,000 lay,
ing in stores. The majority of the ne
groes appear TO be still quite well sup
piled with money. There is probably
not man in the party but who has
sufficient TO provide subsistence for some
time after landing in Liberia. Supplied
as they are, there is no danger of this
party starving to death or otherwise suf-
tering If there is any possibility of max
ing living at all in the land to which
they are going.
When the vessels lines were cast OFT
there was a cheer from the crowd on the
wharves and the emigrants sang their
parting song: "I'm Gong Home to AT
rc'S Shores The refrain was taken up
by those on the shore. The singing was
kept up until the vessel passed the city,
the crowd following along the wharves
shouting good-byes.
