a higher rate Of interest than five per

more favorable times when better rates
could he secured after the city has tried
to do something In the way Of restoring
its shattered credit. 1t ought to be pos
sible to sell * per cent bond at very
near par, or perhaps a five per cent
bond at a premium. The dihiculty with
trying to sell q low rate bond and pay
ing a brokerage commission Is that the
city is not in shape to pay commits

be so effected as to make the commits

Meanwhile the city circus exhibits
itself with a cheerful regularity every
Monday night, with sometimes a side
show in the middle Of the week. Some
of the unique conditions. such as a
cash contribution Of two thousand dol
lars before entering the ring. and other
senseless restrictions on bidding. would
make the matter altogether humorous
were 1t not for the fact that impaired
credit makes higher taxes. Whether
the trouble lies in misguided ignorance
of municipal finances or in something
worse 1t is anything but comforting to
sit down and figure out a needless bur-
den of from ten to twenty thousand
dollars a year as the modest price the
city pays for what its aldermen do
not know. Whether Mr.. Stevenson Is
to get the bonds or not depends upon
the relation existing between the 'fm-
pressionability of the city council and
public forbearance.

PLAIN TRUTH ON LOCAL TOPICS

the Davis Jurors within an hour after
the announcement of the verdict-cel-
ebrating the sacrifice Of a poor negro
to the avarice Of q corporation-was an
Illustration of the temerity of these
men who make a business of juggling
with juries. The verdict Of the people
Of Lancaster county is that the Rock
Island railway company. rather than
pay damages for its own neglect, made
a scape-goat Of Davis and induced the
jury to find the colored man guilty Of
murder. The jury-fxer doesn't hesi-
tate to put human life in jeopardy.
Maybe some day there will be a Judge
on the district or federal court bench
who will rise in his might and apply the
scourge and restore to the trial by Jury
something of its ancient honor and dig
nifty. There is a great opportunity
waiting. In the meantime Jury trials
are. in many cases. mere judicial crimes.
There have been so many acts in the
re-funding bond comedy since the or
dinance Of June 1894 gave the city coun-
Gil license to present its little drama
to the long-suffering people of this city
that the time has come for a brief
synopsis of the play. to the end that the
audience may be in a position to Judge
intelligently Of the players and of the
performance before the plot gets any

ing Of the issue was by a contract
with Green & VanDuyn under which
the latter were to take the bonds at
par, the city paying them a commits
sion of $1,000. Green & vanDuyn were
to have until Dec. 81, 1895 to dispose of
the issue provided they took care Of any
bonds maturing meanwhile. On July
l, 1895, $26 900 of these bonds matured
and the brokers were unable to arrange
satisfactorily for the payment of them.
After a considerable contest which fin
ished the destruction of the already
weak credit of the city in the eastern
bond market the contract was annuled.
Soon after this the bonds were offered
for sale again, but objections were
raised as to the regularity of the pro-
ceedings. Three weeks ago the council
again tried to effect the sale, at which
time Elmer Stevenson took a promi-
nent part in the proceedings, which
were again called off because no notice
of the sale had been given. Last Mon
day night the matter came up again,
but no final action was taken.
The vital points involved seem to be,
first, whether the city can, under the
ordinance, issue a gold bond and Sec
ond, whether Mr.. Stevenson is to be
awarded the sale regardless of other
or better bids. 1t is very strongly ques-
toned whether the city can lawfully
issue a gold bond at this time or
course a currency bond must bear a
higher rate Of interest than one pay
able in gold because the former is not
as marketable a security as the lat

OF prodding will call 1t out. There is
hope for q community 30 long as II is
possible to arouse the people to a prop
er realisation Of the wrongs and in
justice that are inflicted. When cor
ruption Is piled on corruption. when
the law is disregarded. when decency
is outraged-when all this happens and
the people make no sign. then II is pref
ty bad. In Lincoln and Nebraska cor
ruption In its many forms has become
so common that its existence seldom
excites comment any more. We are
30 used to being defrauded and sold out

as we take our Pears soap and our
coffee and rolls-as a matter Of course.

legislative bodies are bought and sold.

Perhaps the greatest and most harm
full infamy that hourishes in this state
and holds practically undisputed sway
is jury fixing. Every man who carries
a head on his shoulders and an ounce
of intelligence in his brain pot, knows
that in district court and in the federal
court 1t is almost impossible to get an
honest verdict in certain cases. Juries
are surrounded by an atmosphere Of
corruption. Jury fixing has become a
profession.
This week, in the United States court
in Omaha, before Judge Dundy, was
perpetrated an outrage that ought to
stir every right-minded man in this
state to active protest, an outrage that
ought to forever disgrace and dishonor
the name of Dundy-and the Judge had
already allowed that name to trail in
the mire. When Thomas H. Benton, of
this city. was named on the federal
court panel a shameful conspiracy had
its inception. When, by q process of
chicanery that is most common in Judge
Dundy's court, Tom Benton was called
in as Juror to try R. c. Outcalt, that
conspiracy achieved its first success. Its
triumph will be attained in the dis
charge Of Outcalt When Benton was
first named the pretense that Outcalt
would be fairly tried became a mock
cry. The trial is now a fraud on the
people. The peculiar workings Of the
federal court are known to a considera-
BILE number of people, and it is not diff
cult to believe that this scheme to de-
with the full cognizance of Judge Dun
dy. 1t is not necessary to make any
charge against Mr.. Benton. His past re-
lations with Outcalt and the Mosher
ring. as well as his prediction for a
certain species Of intrigue, should have
been sufficient to instantly disqualify
him from serving on the Outcalt Jury.
And in our own district court, too, The
posterous ending Thursday, has been a
farce from the beginning. The verdict
rendered day before yesterday had all

purpose being to secure a lower rate Of
