CONWAY'S WILL.
Chancellor McGill Decides
An Odd Document Is
Not a Forgery.
MIXED MARRIAGE CASE.
Struggle for the Property OF a
Dead Woman With Re-
ligious Prejudice
Thrown In

Chancellor McGfl has at last decided
the sensational Ewald-Conway Will case,
which has been before the courts for over
a year. The will of Michael Conway was
contested on the ground that 1t was a
forgery. Chancellor McGill has decided
that it is genuine and should have been
admitted to probate. This reverses the
decision of Judge Hudspeth, rendered on
the last day of his term as Presiding
Judge of the General Sessions Court.
There were many interesting features
in the contest. Mamie Conway, a 10
man Catholic by birth and education,
married Charles Ewald, who was not OF
the same religious belief, and VINO was
divorced from his first wife, who was
still living. She died a year after nef
marriage. in the fall of 1897. There was
trouble before her death. She refused TO
accept the ministrations of a priest, sent
by her aunt, who is a devout Cathollc,
because the priest would not ~recognlze
her marriage to a divorced man. she
was buried by the Rev. Gotlieb Andreae
of st. Johns German Evangelical Luth-
eran Church.

Democrats want 10 Dictate PopuIist
Nominee for supreme Judge.


Edgar Howard, Chairman Last Democratic
state Convention, In Papillion Times
The fusion forces of Nebraska are face to
face with a serious problem-the selection Of
a candidate who can de'eat the republican
nominee for supreme judge this fall. 1t is
imperative that as democrats and populists
we must be ready to sacrifice everything this
side OF honor and principle in order to ac-
compllsh the complete overthrow of corpora
tlon rule in judicial affairs in Nebraska, and
1t can be done only by uniting harmoniously
upon a candidate for supreme Judge and
electing him to take the place of the corpora
tion agent whose term viii expire with the
present year. We have one good man on
the bench in the person of Judge sullivan.
and we must give him company. 1t is now a
two to-one shot in favor of the corporations
every time private citizen trots upon the
supreme court track in opposition to a cor
poratlon. The odds, II any. ought to be the
other way.
We are not in position to take any
chances IN the matter of selecting a candi-
date. The republican party backed by
every great corporation in the state is still
strong. Last fall we elected our candidates
for state Offices by a margin not worth crow
ing over. We must be wise. Wisdom does
not roint to the nomination Of any man who
factions in the fusion army.
Governor Holcomb has his friends but he
also has wealth of enemies-more OF them
in pop than in democratic circles. He Is
being groomed for the place every day. II
viii not do for him to deny the charge.
1t Is time for plain speaking. If Governor
Holcomb loves the cause in Nebraska he
will not be candidate.
We do not say he would be defeated II
nominated We do say, and advisedly that
he is 5000 votes weaker than the man who
ought to be nominated-and that man is
w. V. Allen. BY every right the nomna-
tion ought to go to a democrat, but the
handwriting is on the wall and the power
ful pop influence behind that handwriting
makes 1t read that the pops have decreed
that no democrat shall be nominated for
that office by the fusion forces. The Times
does not like the writing, but duty to the
state tells us that 1t will be best to accept
the decree as final
But this acceptance has a string tied to
1t unless the populists shall present to the
democratic convention the name of William
V. Allen, or some other of their number
equally invulnerable Allen can be elected.
There Is no doubt about It. Doubt would
hover close about the contest should any
other populist be nominated Let us dlspel

WHAT is EMPIRE.
Precedent and Possible Model for
American InlpcriaItsm

Goldwin Smith in Self-Cultura
This sudden development OF imperialistic
tendencies and disposition for tropical an
neXation on the part of the people of the
United States, which takes the world and
probably most Americans by surprise. has
naturally turned attention to the British
empire as a precedent and possible model
for imperial administration. 1t Is little to
the discredit of the Americans II they have
failed distinctly to understand that which
Is by no means distinctly understood by
many of the British themselves.
The terms "colony" and "empire." "co-
lonial" and Imperial" promiscuously used,
fill the whole subject with confusion. The
Indian empire is not colony nor are the
colonies an empire. Empire implies auto
cratic dominion, whatever the internal con-
stitution of the imperial power may be-
The Athenian republic was an autocrat and
tyrannical autocrat (as a democracy Is
apt to be-, in relation to its insuar depend
encies. The Roman aristocracy was an au-
tocrat in relation to the conquered world.
Great Britain herself practically a republic
in the guise of constitutional monarchy
is an autocrat in relation to India. In India
the queen of Great Britain is an empress.
In Great Britain she Is a constitutional
queen, but her representative in India, the
NlCeTOy, governs lne f1lnuuS WIN autOcratlc
sway. The civil service of India is
bureaucracy under an autocrat entirely
separate from the civil service of Great
Britain. On the entire separation of the
two fields Of government, the two services
and the two systems depend on the one
hand the possibility of governing India
which would otherwise be fatally involved
in the party politics of the imperial country,
and on the other hand the immunity OF the
politics of constitutional England from the
Contagion of an unconstitutional rule.
Spheres of influence" like the white
mans burden" and duty laying hold of
destiny" are a convenient addition to the
vocabulary of aggrandizement. China,
country with 300 900, 900 people, at least half
civilized, highly Industrial and intensely
national is being "pegged out" into
spheres of influence" by the great preda-
tory powers, and If the Chinese presume to
resist they will be shot down by tens OF
thousands, as ''rebels." Spheres of infu-
ence may be placed under the head of "em-

SIDETRACKING SILVER.

Philadelphia Press: Hereafter Mr.. Bryan
will regard New Jersey, the nursery of
trusts, as the enemy's country.
Minneapolis Tribune: Mr.. Bryan already
shows signs of descending from his high
horse and to admit that the free silver issue
may be overshadowed by something Of more
immediate and pressing Importance.
New York Sun: Attempts to eXpurgate
free silver and to rule out Bryan from the
democratic campaign of 1900 are doomed to
dismal failure, whether they originate in
Maryland or Missouri. This is not official,
but it Is true
Globe Democrat: No doubt the Chicago
platform will be reafiirmed in some fashion
next year. Silver will be in 1t, but not as the
paramount issue in words that burn. Trusts
will be the specially for 1900, hollow mock
cry as all democratic platforms are in prac-
tice, but still a subject on which Bryan can
work up crowds with his accustomed shallow
deception.
Courer-Journal: In his st. Louis speech
Mr. Bryan couM not resist the temptation to
make fling at the boys on 1.-THE firing line. y
"A rich man who pays his taxes" said Mr..
Bryan, 'is as much a patriot as any man
who swims a river or who climbed up San
Juan hill" Funston in the Philippines and
the fighters who took Santiago can afford Ia
smile at this So can the rich men. Few
people will agree with Mr.. Bryan that the
highest proof OF patriotism Is for the man
to pay his taxes who is most able to pay

Age and Capacity for Work.

The idea is quite general that under the
more complicated mechanism of modern in
dustry and the severity of its competition
men become useless at an earlier age than
formerly. But the president of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad con-
veys different impression in replying to re-
ports that the road had been discharging
several hundred employees on account of
their age. He says that no man has been
discharged on account of age, but 1t is true
that some men who have been discharged
as unfit for service were old men. He con-
tinues 1--WE have no age limit Many men
after As are at their best many men at 65

Gus nature. The bulk of the Spanish
securities owned in Spain are In the
hands Of the Bank Of Spain, the princi-
pal financial Institution of the country,
having been given in return for loans
raised by permitting the bank to issue
currency notes. As these bonds are the
only security back of the notes the
bank and its currency issue must in
evitably go down with the Reputation
of the security. The results of such u
crash in a country already impoverished
are beyond calculation. The interest
payments on the repudated bonds have
been kept up by eXtortionate eXactlons
upon the insular colonies of Spain loss
as the result of the war with the United
States. With its own people already
taxed to the limit of endurance 1t is
difficult to see just how the immens"
interest charge on Spain can be Kept
up, even if the government were dis
posed to do it. OF the two horns of the
dilemma the one appears as bad as the
other.

CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES.

The executive order modifying regu
lations made by President Cleveland
relating to the civil service, which
President Mckinley had under consiG-
era ton for some months, has been is
sued. 1t applies to about 1000 offices
in all departments of thu, government.
The order takes from the classified
service subordinate civil officers whose
relations to responsible chiefs are of a
confidential character and also those
who are entrusted with the handling
of public funds for which the chiefs
are responsible on their bonds. These
include chief clerks of executive Ge-
partments, deputy collectors of revenue,
deputy marshals, special Indian inspec-
tors, special agents of the land office,
private secretaries and a few others.
There has been q strong pressure
| upon President Mckinley for the re-
scinding or modification of the orders
of his predecessor, issued just before
his retirement, extending the classified
service and the president has given
the matter thorough and careful con-
'iN'ih'ioi' iiC nus iob SUM- to ioi s''
the spoilsmen desired, but what he has
done will undoubtedly be regarded by
the more radical supporters of the prin-
ciple Of civil service reform as a step
backward and therefore Inconsistent
! with the record of Mr.. Mckinley IN
regard to the reform. His action will
be criticised as a distinct renunciation
of his position while in congress, when
he was one of the most earnest advo-
Gates of the merit system.
Mr.. Cleveland's extension of the class
| flied service just before he went out
of office was unquestionably prompted
| by partisan considerations, but this
fact does not in itself justify the modl-
| fication. That can be justified only on
the ground that the offices excepted
under the new order should not be in
| the classified service. AS to some Of
| them this view can be successfully
maintained, but it Is doubtful whether
| it can be as to all of them. At all
events it is something of concession
to the opponents of the merit system
for which the president must expect
to be vigorously criticised
