Any American publicist' who has
travelled in Mexico, or studied even in a
most cursory manner the finances of
that republic, and who will then honest

standard for the United States; is utter

wholly devoid of that good Judgment
which every American publicist should
have. An American so devoid of con-
secutive and rational thought as to be-

Gifted by adopting standard of value
different from all the rest of the world,
except some South American countries
and Mexico,is utterly and absolutely un-
fit for public position of any sort what
soever. On the other hand, any man
who, having good reasoning faculties,
pretends to believe in the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 (Which
is equivalent to setting up the silver
standard instead of the gold) is too dis
honest and wickedly deceitful to be with

MESERvE'S
DEFENSE.

DEFENSE. volunte cred a
promise that their
client would adopt no technical defense;
that there would be no wild search for
legal loop-holes, but a square out-and-
out acquittal of Mr.. Meserve, in the
courts and before the people, whose
favorable verdict he most priced. In
the proceedings so far we have moral
defense number one: "The court has
no jurisdiction. Should that position
be sustained the people of Nebraska
would of course see at once that the ac-
cused is morally perfect, and is much
prosecuted individual. Now comes
moral defense number two: "The
crime is not against the state of Ne
braska." Of course this second defense
is likewise calculated to preserve the
honor as we'll as to secure the continued
liberty of Mr.. Meserve, and those who
have thought him morally guilty, must
feel constrained to weep bitter tears of
remorse for having thought lily of
man whose questionable acts have all
been committed in manner which
places him beyond the reach of the law,
consequently above the censure of Ne
braskans.
But list to moral defense number
three: "The defendant takes refuge
under the statute of limitations "
What more could the most exacting
citizen demand in the way of an ex
planation? Does not the fact that
Mr.. Meserve cannot be punished
prove absolutely and unquestionably
that he is entitled to the confidence
and respect Of all good citizens who
love right and justice above simple
illegal honesty 20 Had Mr.. Meserve
been elected by the vile plutocracy,
had he taken his Office from the
hands of those who have never fol-
lowed the banner of reform, his po-
litical and business future might
have been ruined by the very de-
fense which he has set up; but
standing as he does for all that pop
ulism recognizes as pure and chaste,
he will pass into history as victim
of ghoulish persecution, and the case
against him will forever be known
as malicious prosecution unparal-
leled in modern day, in comparison
with which the Dreyfus affair was

FAVORS WALTERS PLAN
FOR CAPITOL EXTENSION
Superintendent Wood Sub
mitS Report to Senate.
Design Would Extend Center of Building
Eastward-Would Preserve Architec-
tural Character and Appearance.

Superintendent Wood. OF the Capitol
building and grounds. has submitted to
the Senate a report on the enlargement
of the Capitol and on the possibility Of
beautifying the rotunda.
Mr.. Wood states that he is heartily in
favor of the designs made by Mr.. Thomas
U. Walter. formerly the architect of the
Capitol, and that in his opinion no change
whatever should be made in this design
as to the exterior of the extension.
He states that the growth OF the needs
OF Congress has made ii advisable to
change the plans of Mr.. Walter somewhat
as to the interior of the proposed new
portion.
Mr.. Walters plan is the one that pro-
poses an extension of the center of the
Capitol building toward the east At pres
ent the wings both extend further to the
east than the center. but Mr.. Walter
planned an extension OF the main build
ing beyond the wings One beauty of this
plan, Mr.. Wood suggests, is that it would
not change the architectural appearance
of the building as 1t will be seen from
the east.
A number of photographs and detailed
plans are submitted with the report.
