( The action of the executive committee of the
Btato alliance last evening was a partial vic
tory for Mr. Thornton , but nil Indications
nro that tlio battle Is not yet ended. The
ptory of the feud between the rival loaders
of the independent boats Is a long but rather
Interesting ono.
The Farmers Alliance was started In this
city some llvo years ago by a young man
named Arniitugo. Ho had a little money ,
but his nuwspnpor experience- limited.
Jay Burrows was iiftcrwnrtls associated
with him In the publication of the paper ,
nnd It was not long until Armltai'O dropped
out , and the firm name became Burrows He
Thompson , thu latter being the secretary of
the nlllanco , then Just beginning to bo a
jxwor in tlio state. Soon after Burrows &
Thompson took hold the alliance ( the organ
ization ) took wonderful spurts , nnd in ISS'J
and IS'.K ' ) first demonstrated its Htrength.
The paporwas the state organ , and with
Buirous as chairman of the state executive
committee nnd Thompson as secretary , the
newspaper was soon a valuable property.
KatublUtiud the IniUipriiiUnit ,
III 18'Jl the Independent was established
liero by several enthusiastic independents.
l ) t it dragged out a weary existence until
S. K. Thornton camq from Kearney , pur
chased It and proceeded to attempt to inako
it n stnto organ to compote with Burrows'
paper. The now paper was generally bo-
lioved-to have boon backed by General Van
Wye It , who was then at bitter war with
Burrows , and to Its standard Hooked all his
friends and these who did not love the
Fillo.v statesman ,
i Suddenly the announcement was in ado
that the two papers were to bo consolidated ,
Burrows withdrawing because , it was ex
plained , of the ill health of his wife , who
required his cam nnd attention. Thornton
took rluirgo as edltor-In-chlof of the consoli
dated paper , Thompson , however , retaining
his interest until last December , when his
stock wan levied on by attachment and sold
for u few paltry dollars , Mr. Thornton's
friends Imvo always contended that the
attachment proceedings was merely u ruse
on the part of Thompson to withdraw from
the paper , and Thompson partially corrobo
rates It 'by saying that the controlling
interest was piling up debts und endeavor
ing to frcuzo out stoukholdors ,
lu thu mnanwhllo W , C. Holdcn cama on
from Kcuiney , started his Liberty , and
turned In to make it warm for Thornton ,
Deeb , Wolfe , Plrtlo und the element In the
pops that had the upperhand , In his fight
Bomo very bitter things wore said , and
Thornton insist ! that Burrows wrote or In
spired most of thorn. Ho in turn lani | < oonod
Burrows and Holdon , and later when Bur
rows & Thompson began the publication of
the Alliance Louder and aald some scorching
things about Thornton , ho took revenge by
filing charges against both of thorn , basing
his ovldouco on what ho had found la the
books of the Alliance Publishing company ,
when they came into the hands of the new
company.faubitanoa
faubitanoa of tlio
The charges Imvo never boon fully
indicated , but thu ones against Thomp
son were that lie had charged the
etato alliance from two to six
times n reasonable price for work
that the firm of Burrow * As Thompson h&d
itself done ; that ho charged up to the
state alllauco ns rental for tbo secretary's
pnlco au amount which equaled the rent
1
paid for the rooms used by the publication
odlco of Burrows & Thompson ; and that ho
had devoted nearly all his time to tlio news
paper business , but drew salary for perform
ing the duties of secretary , which wore
really done by clerks hired for the purpose
by him. but whoso salaries were paid by the
state alliance.
The testimony was heard by the state ox-
ccutivo committee yesterday , and the Und
ines were that the first charge was sus
tained , but the other two wore not. The
chaiges against Burrows wore in effect that
while acting as chairman of the state execu
tive committee ho had audited the exorbi
tant printing claims of Burrows & Thomp
son , knowing them to bo exorbitant , and violating
lating the confidence of the fellow-members
of the committee , who rolled on him as the
only member of the committee with a knowl
edge of the printing business , to see that all
such bills presented were correct. The com
mittee , however , refused to consider the
charges , at all , following in its reasoning
the decision of the supreme court in tlio re
cent impeachment cases , that an cx-olllcer
could not bo Impe.icbcd for misdemeanors
committed while inofllco.

BUB ] . General W. W. Avorill of Bath. N.
Y. , was in the city yesterday , visiting the
Soldiers'and Sailors homo , lie Is national
inspector of soldiers and sailors homos , and
gave his opinion of thu local homo lu ttio
following remarks : "This Is my sixth visit
to the homo , and great progress and Im
provement Is shown since my first visit to
Nebraska. Most of the Improvements re
sulted from necessity , nnd In some respects
It has been unfortunate in having frequent
changes in the administration , by which the
steady progress has been Inter
rupted. It lacks energy on the part
of state authorities. There nro several
things that would Imvo been of great benefit
If done. Trees are two years old which should
bo flvo and six years old. No money has
been spent which shows us a result so much
benefit as that spent on grading and drain
ing the grounds and in setting out trees. I
think , too , theru Is a want of liberality as to
the provision for the future needs of the
homo , A soldiers homo ought not to bo run
llko a poor house. There are repairs re
quired and no funds to do them with.
"But In splto of all the dniwuacks and
misfortunes it Is certainly becoming n comfortable -
fortablo and well regulated soldiers homo.
It compares favorably with other homes of
the same ago and Is in remarkably good con
dition , considering the want of attention to
which it has been subject. "
Ho will meet a car load of disabled nnd
Invalid veterans nt Hot Springs , where n
trial will bo matlo of the mineral waters of
that point ,

LINCOLN , July 8. [ Succlal to Tun Bcc.J
In the case of the Board of Public La mis and
Buildings iccentlv decided by the supreme
court tbo ejuostlon was whothcr or not the
act passed February 15 , 18T7 , "to lORtiluta
the purchase of supplies for the public Insti
tutions and executive olllces of the state , "
was Intended to supersede the act of Febru
ary III , which provides for the contiol of nil
public institutions und lands by the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings nnd makes this
board rcsponslDlo for the examination and
approval of the accounts of till olllcors connected -
nectod with the state Institutions embraced
within the act.
It will bo remembered that In the Im
peachment case against thrco of the state
olllclals , ona line of dofunso was that no
such board us the Board of Public Lands
and Buildings existed , UH tbo aut providing
for it was repealed by the net
passed two dajs later. This defense was
made by J. L. Wobstur. After this case had
been settled thu board requested u ruling
from the supreme court on the question.
Judges Maxwell und Post hold that the
lattoi uct was to legulatu the manner of
puruluslni : supplies , merely , and In no way
conflicted with the previous uct. They
claim that while the Board of Purchase and
Supplies may upprovo the vouchers of such
pun-huso according to the second net , the
Board of Public Lands and Buildings must dose
so according to the first uut. Both acts stand ,
neither contlleting with the other. From
this opinion Judge Norval dissents , on thu
giound that the supreme court has no juris
diction In thu mutter whatever. Ho holds
that the few rases in which the supreme
court hus original Jurisdiction aio distinctly
specified by law , and that outsldo of this , It
is stt Icily u court of appeal.
