THE ALLEGED BooDLERs.


The Indictment of two of the ex-se-
lectmen of this county was the logical
sequence of the Indictment of the fur
niture agent who was charged with cor
rupt practices in the furniture deal
If he was the briber, they were the
bribed. The Herald has repeatedly
called for full investigation of this
scandalous affair and theprosecution
Of every person against whom there is
evidence of guilt. 1t is therefore desir-
Gus of seeing the whole matter probed
to the bottom.
The particulars of the exorbitant
prices paid by the county for the fur
niture sold by Martin Hayken as agent
for the Chicago house he represented,
and the statements of local dealers
as to the actual value, appeared in
The Herald with full details from day
to day. So also did the accounts of the
peculiar tactics Of the county attorney
in connection with the affair." and the
manner in which his movements were
known to the parties whom he sought
to implicate in the steal. And at no
time has The Herald defended the al
legged boodlers or sought to shield them
from charges of corruption, but on the
contrary. has demanded a full inquiry
and the punishment of the guilty.
Now that indictments have been
found against three persons charged
with an offense against the laws. the
work Of investigation should go on and
be made complete. Every other person
implicated in the crime said to have
been committed ought to be brought
under the legal searchlight. Let no
guilty man escape!
However, the mere statements of the
agent Hayken alone ought not to con-
Wet anybody. 1t will not legally and
ought not in the public mind. Until
the accused have been heard in their
own defense, common justice will de-
mand suspension of public judgment.
If that is a defense of the ex-seIectmen
The Herald defends them, but to that
extent, no more.

PROF. R1LEY,s DEATH.

Prof Riley met his death on his ni.
cycle while indulging in practice that
has brought a great many bicyclists to
grief, if not to Something worse. He wa!
coursing down the hill with his feet of
the pedals and without a brake. Pretty
soon the list of terrible accidents from
this practice will teach the riders of the

a HUNGARIAN hotel keeper of Homo

there is no intimation in that article
that the leaflet was written in the Of

been the place from which large num-

diligently disseminated. We are not sur
prised that there is anxiety lest it be
thought that the thing "emanated"

preparing it and diligently distribute

THE RIGHT TO MIGRATE.

Important Question Raised by the Pro-
posed Removal Of Railroad Offices.
MILWAUKEE, April 5.-If the Chi.
cago, Milwaukee and St.. Paul railroad
company carries out its intention Of re-
moving the last of it's offices from this
city to Chicago it will raise an interest
ing legal question, namely, the right Of
a corporation to migrate from the state
in which it's charter was granted and
under the laws of which it is operating.
1t is generally thought that one of
the provisions of the charter Of the
company provides that the Office Of the
secretary must remain in Milwaukee.
This however, is disputed by c. H. Van
Alstine, the local attorney for the st.
Paul company, who states that in event
of removal to Chicago the question to
be considered will be entirely outside Of
the charter provisions and pertains to
the right Of a corporation to migrate.
Upon this question Mr.. Van Alstine
did not care to give an opinion.

NICARAGUA CANAL COMMISSION.

Expected That 1t Will He Ready to Start
ON It's Mission In Two Weeks.
WASHINGTON, April Sit is expected
that the Nicaraguan canal commission
will start for Nicaragua within two
weeks, as it is realized that the time at
its disposal is short when the work to
to be done is considered. Major Lud.
low probably will be the president of
the commission by virtue of his brevet
on duty, as military attache of the
American embassy, and it is believed
that his thorough acquaintance with
the British view of the canal project
will be of value to the commission. He
will be instructed by cable to take the
first steamer and come to Washington.
Study the Plans.
The commission will outline it's plan
of operation and go to New York, where
a thorough examination will be made
Of the details for the survey and work
ing plans of the canal company, with
the purpose of saving time and work in
the field. Returning to Washington,
the commission will receive further in.
structions from the secretary of state
and proceed to Mobile and sail on the
United States steamer Montgomery for
Greytown at the eastern terminus of
the canal. The season will not be well
suited to begin work, as there is an
abundance of rain to be expected in the
summer months. The swamps are i'm.
passable OH horseback and there are nc
roads. 1t is believed that with average
roads the commission cal complete its
work in Nicaragua in about two months
and be back in the United States and
ready to compile its report, which must
be ready by next November.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The supreme court
court of Illinois has handed down a de-
cision which strikes a hard blow at
