Accused of signing Helen Lewis
Name to a Deed.

Eliza QualIs, colored, living at No. 2132
Eleventh street northwest, was arrested

on furniture belonging to woman named
Helen Lewis by signing the lattefS nauie

Helen Lewis husband, and in order TO
secure the money she impersonated the

DOCTORS STILL DISAGREE.
But the People Believe the Laurel
Skeleton Is Gifts.

Although the citizens of Laurel still
talk of the tragedy of keliogg's woods, yet
interest in the matter is subsiding. The
question will be finally disposed or at the
inquest to be heldou Thursday night There
is some dissatisfaction on the part Of the
toroper's jurors, because of the contro
versy between the physicians in Laurel
as to whether the skeleton is that of male
or female.
Two of the doctors who made very
casual examination OF the remains insist
that their opinion is correct, despite the
opinion of the demonstrator of anatomy of
Johns Hopkins University, whose opinion
Is backed by three of the physicians at
Laurel.
1t Is hkely that an effort viii be made
by the city authorities TO bring this dis
cussion To ii close by sending the skeleton
to johns Hopkins University for critical
measurement and examination.

Stop the Imports.
(NeW York Tribune.)

Congress could declare by a short
bill, which it should not take a week
to pass, that it was about to make a
general advance of duties in order to
raise an adequate revenue and to give
better protection to industries, and
therefore that all goods thereafter i'm
ported should be taken out of custom
houses or warehouses only upon bond
to pay the additional duties when fixed
by Congress. By this procedure the
coming determination OF Congress as
to rates needed on particular goods
would go into practical effect at once,
and the evasion of expected duties by
anticipatOry imports would be avoided.
Imports for immediate sale, within the
two or three months possibly required
for the maturing and enactment of a
new tariff, would be no more embar-
rassed than under the prevailing meth
cd while a tariff bill is pending, while
imports for future distribution under
new duties when enacted would not be
embarrassed at all. The home markets
would be to a great extent secured to
American porducers, and the demand
for American labor would at once be
stimulated

A Judge Taken to Task.

4 Beatrice dispatch says that the
recent decision of Judge Stull, holding
that township taxes voted and assessed
by the township electors are to be
added to the taxes assessed by county
authorities in determining whether
county authorities have assessed taxes
in excess of the limit of Is mills on the
dollar valuation, imposed on county
authorities" by the state constitution,
grows more unpopular the more it is
known and the better it is understood
and is creating CONSERVATION among
the eighteen counties in the state hav-
ing township organization. This de-
cision was contrary to the Judgment of
the numerous distinguished attorneys
who heard the case argued, as well as
to the uniform construction which has
been placed on the law in Gage and
many other counties in the state where
township organization has been
adopted, and letters are being received
almost daily inquiring if the decision
was not reported wrong. 1t has intro
duced great uncertainty and confusion
into the finances of the county and
should it stand, threatens. if it does
not destroy. the township system.

Divided POnuiiSfS.

There is a serious division apparent
in the ranks Of the Peoples party over
the proposition made by some of the
more advanced members OF the organ
ization to abandon the silver issue,
which shipwrecked it's hopes in the last
campaign. This is, perhaps, hardly so
remarkable as might appear at the first
glance. Men who set up fetch are
always slow to perceive the clay in the
idol of their own construction, and in
asserting the purpose of the western
ers to adhere to the free coinage idea,
Mr.. J. A. Edgerton, secretary of the
Populist national organization, is nat
ural and in character. The free COIN
age idea came out of the west and its
fetch worshipers are joined TO their
idols.
There were unmistakable signs of
the decadence of the silver idea before
the result Of the election which showed
an overwhelming popular sentiment
against it. If the campaign of educa-
tion resulted in nothing else, it at least
made it apparent that there would be
nothing gained by putting the nation
upon a lower standard than those COM
mercial nations with which the Amer
lean people must do business, and
there would be much lost.

Altogether Too Kind.
louisville Commercially


1t is instructive to notice the pains
taken by the London Economist to as
sure us that the low duties OF the Will
son tariff have not injured American
industries. OF course the Economist
and other British thinkers are desirous
that our industries shall not suffei,
and are only desirous that the Wilson
schedules should be continued for our
benefit. While the disinterestedness
of the Englishmen awakens our admi-
ration, yet we fear they are hardly cap
able of feeling that intense sympathy
for us, and that earnest desire for our
material prosperity that we experience
for ourselves. We trust they Will not
object to our change of the method or
collecting duties from ad valorem to
specific, because in the matter OF wool
en- goods alone, reliable experts report
that by the undervaluations our gov
ernment is swindled out of twenty mil
lions of dollars a year 1t strikes us
this affects alike our industries and
our pockets; but we are thankful for
all the information our English friends
may give us, as to the construction OF
our tariffs, in which, of course, they
can have no possible interest.

A Scrap in the Senate.

During discussion of the panitentiary
bill IN the senate the usual serenity of
that august body was disturbed by a
fracas at the senate gate and rush of
senators and employees to the scene of
action. 1t was observed that Senator
Farrell of Merrick county and c. J..
Bowlby of the Crete Democrat were the
comhatants. The belligerentS were
parted before serious damage was done
to either party. The difficulty grew
out of an Objectionable article pub
lished in Mr.. Bowlby's paper, of which
the following is an extract: why is
it that the state senate should be
looked to for any dirty work needed
by the LOBBYISTS? = This re-
port was signed by Caldwell of
Nuckolls, republican. and two pops,
johnson of Clay and Farrell of Mcr-
rick. There is nothing strange about
the actions of republican members
of the committee, but the two pops
who pretend to represent the men
who produce l0-cent corn and S. ton
hay, to make such recommendation.
one can come to no other conclusion
than that they have been seen by Bill
Paxton and Babcock who are ever
present iopDy1ng against reduction
of the charges. Johnson of Clay is
twin of Sam Elder of that county and
Farrell is deformed ignoramus whose
double probably was never before
seen in the state senate. ;; Sen
ator Dearing of Cass and one or two
populists voted against the indefinite
postponement of the minority report
and thus helped the republicans to
give it consideration when the bill is
reached on general file. There are
some queer acting senators in the legis-
lature this winter, and they can be
depended upon to fly the track when
they are most needed to pass bills
favorable to the people they represent,
and they are not republicans either.
1t is queer that we can hardly find
men who, when sent to the legislature,
have the courage and honesty to carry
out the wishes of their constituents

The Ex-Auditor uu.t,,nr.

The friends of ex-State Auditor
Eugene Moore are making an effort to
raise the money which is yet due the
state from that officer and thus secure
the dismissal Of the suit which is now
pending against him. The amount
which Moore had collected. and which
he has not turned over to the state, is
about $4,000. and if the energy of
Moore and his friends count for any
thing the money will be secured before
long. if it IS TO be had in the country.
A friend OF Mr.. Moore, discussing the
deficiency. said Moore may not be able
to raise the money necessary to pay up
his deficiency by March "a. the time
set for his preliminary hearing. but it
will be raised in time to prevent trial
of the case. 1t is doubtful if either
side win be ready to go to trial when
the case is called. and it is very prob
able that continuance will be grant
ed The extra time thus secured Will
enable Moore to secure the money to
pay to the state
