Upon being introduced bj the latter gon- tlcmun Mr. i'owdcrly spoke suustnritially as follows : "Mr. Chairman , gentlemen and ladies I have just finished two weeks of Imrd labor in your interests. I want to say that a great change has taken place since I was through the west n few years ngo , not only in your city , but everywhere. It would seem that the country is prosperous , but when wo turn aside from the palaces of the rich nud the great avenues of tiiulo and look upon the poverty Hats wo must realize that something is wrong. "Ono night last winter I knocked at the door of n miner's cabin. I made the notes I wanted and invited myself to supper and ac cepted the Invitation. Tuo man told me I could not stay. Ho said , 'You cannot cut what wo have , and if you could there will bo nothing for us. " The table was nt last sot , und on that table , for tbo man , his wife uud nine children thcio was nothing but corn mush. I asked him how long tilings had been thus , nnd ho told mo since Thanksglv * ing duy , and it wns then February. I asked what wus the trouble. Right there , in the richest country in the world that man und hundreds of others lived , with not enough to cat ! 'This is the condition of affairs in my homo , and I now ask is It just that four or llvo men should hit nrouna a little table in some room in New York nnd say just how much coal should bo mined. In Nobiaska you pay $10 per ton for that same coal , but you are still bettor olt than the people in my home , for hero you raise your corn , which t am told you burn , as well as cat , but oven with this condition of affairs something must bo wrontr. or this coal would not command such a price oven in Nebraska. " Mr. 1'owderly then told the story of the knights owning nconl mine nnd railro.ul in Ohio , but wora frozen out by the other cor porations. "This , " said he , "shows that the government should toke hold of the avenues of trade nnd control the great arteries Unit carry the' products to nnd fro. Call this socialism if you wld , but , If It is , I sec n great many socialists before mo la this vast audience tonight. Many of our friends tell UB that it is social ism to aslc the government to rceulato the carrying of frieght. If it is , then it is social ism for the government to carry the order for the goods. Wo nro laboring for the time to como when the. government shall look after these matters. If the ofllccrs of a national bank attempt to turn these institutions-into a position to bcnotlt private individuals , the comptroller stops in ami in a short time the ofllccrs arc sent where they wear striped clotnes. No\v , If the government has u right to dictate how banks shall bo run it certainly has the right to regulate the railroads. ' la this state una in Coloando , as well as in Ohio , Now Yoric nnd New Jersey , the rail roads control the state , and I ask , what is thou u oof having two governments t Why not turn the whole thing over to the railroads ? "You ask how this can bo prevented. The answer is an easy one , nnd it is by the adop tion of the Australian ballot law. "I don't ' know how politics nro run In Ne braska , but 1 know how they are managed in our state. On the day of election the fore man of n mine stands at the door of the poll ing place , nnd as his men como up tliev are given their tickets and nro watched until the ballots are cast. If these tickets are not cast , trie men nro discharged on the morrow. You tell mo that these men are cowards Turn with , mo tonight nnd see a little family In a cottage with starvation staring them in the face. The father knows that if ho re- fuses to vote as ho is instructed it means poverty. Tills is why wo nro asking for bal lot reform. Wo want a reform so thnt no man shall know how his neighbor votes. "Wo have n democratic and republican party , hut I hnvo no use for cither of them. I know a man who had concluded to change his mind about voting the old party ticket. This man went to the polls. There ho met n man who held a mortgage on his property. This man handed him n ticket aud said , 'This is the ticket to vote. ' Thp man voted , but it was the inortgncro and not the man who voted , and I want to tell you that thcro are thous ands of those mortgages voting each and every year. "Tho saloonkeepers of our state do not sell liquor on election day , but they hire fellows , to do the work and they go out nnd save the nation. The front doors of their saloons nro not open , but the baek ones nro nnd I know what I am saying. These same sa loons , while they nro not open , are filled with men who nro drunk. Those voters go out , and nt the polls In that maudlin condition they vote laws for you and me. "Yesterday I had the pleasure of listening1 to an address of the newly elected senator of. Wyoming , and , besides this , I am glad to say that in tliia new state they hnvo incorporated into their constitution a clause thnt no Plnk- crton men shall ever como within their bord ers to exercise their authority. Look at this man Pinkcrton. If ho was inany other coun try than ours there would bo a price fixed upon his head. Ho hires men from the slums and brothels of our largo citiis. What do they dot They place them selves on record ns murderers. Under such n condition of affairs lio\v \ long will It be bolora this country will bo driven into open rebellion ) The knights may go down ; the trade's unions may bo broken up , but it wil result in the upbuilding of u society that wil carry the torch and the assassin's ' Knife' . But our organization will not go down , for , thank Qed , our order is stronger today than it was one year ago , even If wo have not formed un nllianco with tha democrats or republicans Wo nro not in politics , but wo are where wo want to wutcli thorn. " Speaking of the great Now York Contra strike . Mr , Powdcrlv stated thnt the reason why the men were discharged was because they wcro Knights of Labor. ' 'That strike was a benellt to the organisation , " contlnuoe he , "for since that day laboring- men have been crowding our assemblies , which fact in itself shows that much good came out of the New York strike. "I pro to Florida tonight , where I talk to an nllianco assembly. Wo shall discuss many matters , some of which may ho of a politico nature , and while I do not know us wo shall over go Into politics to such nn extcut as to como out a party we want to bo prepared to accomplish our ends. "I want you to organize in this city ani exhibit your strength , nnd while I Jo no think you nro like a lot of lunatics , and do not know how to organize , I do think you fall to take advantage of tbo opportunity that presents Itself. " As Mr. Powdorly was about to leave the platform the tall form of Allan Hoot , tha sago of the Little Papplo. towered up in the rear of the hall , whllo tbo owner of the form propounded the following question ; "AVo uro polug into the city fight , und the Independents hnvo prepared pared to nomlnuto councilman in every ward Now would you advise the Knights of Labor assemblies to support our candidates ? " Mr. Powderly did not propose to bo cough aud placed on record , and In replying to Mr Hoot's Question said : "I cannot answer that If they uro tuo nominee * of a cut and dried convention I slifliiin say no ; but If Uiov are rcsionslblo | and/ straight men , I should sny ho knlcuts hnvo ti/Jmrfcct rlcnt to do ai they U n ThH was rccoivod wit h cheers , nf tor which 10 hurriedly left tlio hall and proceeded to 10o depot In orderto take a departing train for the south.

Parliament reassembled today nnd the queen's speech opening the session was read. It stated that no clmngo exists in the iclations with foreign govern ments , and adds : "The general condition of Ireland had sensibly improved , but I have learned with deep regret that h scrl- lous deficiency of the notntocrop in certain parts threatens n recurrence of those periods of severe distress to which the population of tlio western counties is peculiarly exposed by the Industrial nnd economic conditions under which they live.

Premier SnllHbur.v on tlio Tariff. ' Luxnox , Nov. 25. In the house of Lords tonight Premier Salisbury in his address said lie would not say that"England's trade with America and the colonies would imme diately compensate her for the loss caused by the now American tariff , but it would bo a motive for preventing the territories in Africa from falling into the hands of nations exercising a prohibition in trade. It was lamentably true tint the colonies did not fol low the mother land In free trade , yet it wns a fact that the trade of Austialla increased faster than elsewhere. Implying to queries , ho said ho could not discuss the recent financial crisis as negotiations In progress were of a confidential character. Regarding the troub les in Tipperar.v he said the league combina tion the.ro armed to defraud , oppress nnd co erce the honest trader. The task of restoring prosperity to Ireland would bo hopeless un less such combinations wcro destroyed. Ho approved Bnlfour's denunciation of Alorloy. The government was firmly pursuine the ob ject of Increasing the numb'or of persons in terested in land in Ireland , thus creating the moral and political force which xvould frus trate the efforts of political agitators. nomiKit TUB ctuiPAsr.

Mrs. Starr was nlso hastily summoned to Omnhabv telegraph to assist in caring for Mrs , Crocker , who is under treatment tbcro for deafness nnd i.s really prostrated over tuo intcillgengo of icr husband's mysterious disappearance. J'lio family is well known and highly jstoemcd hero. Mr. Crocker Is not nor has 10 been in Beatrice for some time , nor is his whereabouts known to any one hero. Mrs. Oroulcor in Oninlm. A. DEE reporter discovered that Mrs. Crocker had been stopping at the residence of a Mrs , Emerson , ! i5M St. Mary's avcnuo , and accordingly called at that place last night , A young lady responded to the call. Shu was asked if Mrs. Crocker of Denver was stopping there nnd replied that the lady had. Just returned to her homo. Tbo young woman was then asked If Mrs. Starr of Beatrice was stopping In the house. Tliis query brought an elderly lady , appar ently the mother of the younger , to the door. She corroborated the statement of herdauph- tor regarding Mrs. Crockor. When asked if Airs. Starr might be seen the elderly lady returned - turned to the buck parlor nnd a short conver sation ensued with a third party who. it was evident , had retired for tbo night. After a wait of a few minutes a pleasant little lady appeared nnd announced that she was Mrs. or rather Dr. Starr of Beatrice. She deprecated tbo mention of her name In the affair yet told nil she know about the matter. . Mrs. Crocker had visited her at Boatilce several weeks before as she bad also visited several other places since leaving Denver.

Crocker ' bad. already been acquainted with the fact of her husband's disap pearance. The doctor learned also that she was at first almost prostrated , but that later she rallied and bore hormUfortunc with great fortitude. The doctor was asked what the ory , if any , she had regarding Crocker's disappearance. She replied that she hid none other than that ho had been done away with. Her reason for this belief was tho. fact that Mr. Crocker was in good financial condition , that ho was an honest man and could have no reason for disappear ing. His Ofllco was In the city hall on the bank of Cherry crook In Denver , which sep arates cast from Denver. Ho was n man who dressed well , although not llushy , and it was not unlikely that some person bud lain for him some night when ho was on his way home.

The expansion of ins views ho begged McCarthy to regard as confidential if ho found Pnrncll contem plated spontaneous action , but ho also begged McCarthy would make known to the Irish party at today's meeting that such was his conclusion , if ho should find that Parncll hnd not in contemplation any step of the nnturo indicated.
