THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette

The recent visit of Gov Mckinley to
the city has sent story going the rounds
which may or may not be true. 1t is said
that during the governors recent south

ings thus:

TO ENTER A NOLLE.
The Prosecution of WV. Webb for For
gerry to Be Dropped.


No surprise will be created over the
announcement that County Attorney SAT-
ford today filed a motion to have Judge
Hazen enter a "nolIe" in the two cases
for forgery against W. w. Webb The
two cases have been pending over two
years. during which time many persons
charged with less serious otfenses have
been sentenced and released. The pros
ecution retired Mr.. Webb from the
ticket broker business, and it is claimed
by some that this was the principal OBJ
ject the Santa Fe had in bringing the
prosecution. Webb was charged with
using forgery of George 7. Nicholson's
extension stamp by which old tickets
were renewed.
The grounds on which the case was
dismissed are these:
@First-Because the only witness by
whom the state can prove the alleged
forgery is a non resident of Kansas, be-
yond the Jurisdiction of this court and
beyond the reach of any process of this
court. Up to this time the state has
utterly failed to procure such witness
before this court, and there is no pros
pect of the state securing such witness.
"Second-Because those interested in
the prosecution of this case have re-
quested that such nolle be entered"
The witness in question is the detec-
tive who worked up" the case. He is
somewhere in Missouri aud goes under
various aliases.

NEBRASKA has selected the principal
railroad lawyer of the state, John NJ
Thurston, for the United States senate.
AS the Populists would put it, ga tool of
the railroad corporations" has been elect
ed to make laws for the people. The
most peculiar thing about this is that
while the people of Nebraska have elect
ed Populist to the governorship they
have sent Republican railroad attorney
to the United States senate. The only
explanation of these remarkable political
phenomena is that the people of Nebras-
ka have lost their heads. They don't
know what they want aud are in state
of temporary alteration. 1t they are in
favor of Populist principles. they GER
tainly did not intend to be represented
by "plutocrat' in congress, and if they
are in favor of conserving things as they
are, they certainly did not intend to elect
the Populist, Holcomb, for governor.
The clearest explanation of the mystery
seems to be that the people of N ebraska
are in topsy turvy state politically just
like the rest of the country.

IT is claimed that the introduction of
the administration currency bill caused q
decline in the price of the new govern
ment bonds so that the syndicate finds
itself unable to realize the price paid
This circumstance will doubtless be made
an excuse for offering a lower price for
the next issue. Poor Mr.. Carlisle. He
seems to have no end of trouble. He mny
find his department without either money
or credit before long. 1t would not be
surprising. This experience of putting
an incompetent set of people in charge
of public affairs is a costly lesson to the
people.

A HUNDRED thousand dollars is a large
sum to place in the hands of an irrespon-

The ports of all continental Europe
have been closed to American beef. It
is good thing. There are enough hun
CRY people in the United States to con-
aume all the surplus if they can only get
at it. Every pound of food produced in
this country should be consumed by
American workmen. There would be
more profit in it, 1t doesn't pay to ship
raw material out of the country.
