Tom Majors In the Chaip.
Lieutenant - Governor Majors
called yesterday on Governor Thay
er and while he still maintains his
former position of holding aloof
from the controversy, he will per
. fwim hi9 duty and occupy the gov
ernor's chair when Governor Thay
er leaves tnr ictna next Fionuav.
He will abide by the decision of the
Governor's attorneys and turn the
office over to Governor Boyd when
ever they request him to do so
or whenever official notice is re
ceived from the proper tribunal. It
is understood that the lieutenant
governor first secured such instruc
tions from Governor Thayer before
signifying his willingness to fill
the olace. '
Governor Thayer leaves Monday
nnd will remain away about ten
uhyh, anu as noining new is ex-
nnnr1 f . ll. A TT-Ii-i ' C? 1 1
State court before he leaves, there
is no probability of any change in
the preBent situation.
In case the office was turned over
under the present state of affairs it
is alleged that the acts of Governor
Boyd would be offioial and valid.
Eminent lawyers hold that Govern
or Boyd would not legally be quali
fied until the courts clothe him
with further authority. . ,
After the decision was first an
nounced in the newspapers, like
everyone else, Governor Thayer
considered the matter settled and
prepared to vacate the office at a
moments notice. Thursday after
noon he held a consultation with
his attorney at Omaha and
all the attorneys met yesterday
in that city. It is safe to say that
those who know Tom Majors do
not expect him to either leave the
state or call an extra session of the
legislature while occupying the
governor's chair. Another notice
able fact is that Governor Boyd
does not now insist upon his right
to take possession of the office
at this time. Even his friends
agree that it the truth were
known Governor Boyd would be
fair-minded enough to agree with
the position taken by Governor
Thayer in the interview appearing
in these columns. No one here
questions the good faith of Gov
ernor Thayer. Lincoln Journal.
A n old Settler Oone.
Died At his home near this city,
Thursday evening, February 4, 1892.
Frank Stander aged 56 years, of
consumption, after an illness of
several months.
Mr. Stander was born in Valka
rota; Prussia, May 26, 1835. He
came to America when a boy of 19
years, landing in New York. In
1858 he turned his steps westward
and arrived at Nebraska City, where
he entered 120 on section 35, Louis
ville precinct After eight years
residence on this tract of land he
sold it and purchased 160 acres on
section 34 where he has resided un
til his death.
In 1882 Mr. Stander erected a
large store building in this city,
and in 1885 he. with his son James
purchased the Louisville bank of J.
J. Manker. He has been been a
man prominent in the community
and his word was considered as
good as his bond, He has served
as a member of the school board
for fifteen years, officiated as as
sessor six year, and has accepted
various other precinct offices. He
voted the straight democratic
ticket, and in religeous matters is a
devout member of the Catholic
church.
He leaves an aged widow and a
large family of children in good
circumstances.
The funeral will occur to-morrow
at 11 o'clock a. m.
Thus, one by one the old pioneers
pass to the great beyond. Louis

THE NEWSPAPER THE PARTY'S
HOPE. '
The family in America ia inquir
ing into political questions for its
owu interests, and when all people
are in an inquiring nnd receptive
mood the most effective agency for
the good of the republican party is
the party newspaper. It excels all
campaign documents; it goes regu
larly to the home. The local party
newspaper is the campaigning
strength of the party. Every county
committee should bend its energy
to extending the circulation of
every county party paper. Every
republican club should obtain lists
of all doubtful voters, and should
see that such voters are supplied
with party newspapers. The local
paper should be utilized first; the
state paper should stand next, and
the natioual paper come third.
People believe most in the paper
that is nearest to them, and is
identified with their interests. The
national committee can not urge
too strongly upon the party man
agers everywhere that the lines of
life for the republican party in this
contest lie in the strengthening of
the party press, in the extension of
its circulation, and in giving it ac
cess to every family and to every
voter who will listen to reason and
to argument. One live, strong, well
edited, good-humored, wholesome
republican paper will do more
good toward making republican
votes in a family than a hundred
campaign documents. The circu
lation of the democratic news
papers in this country now exceeds
the circulation of the republican
newspapers 300,000,000 copies a
year. It shonlc be the first work of
all township, county, district, state
and national committees to change
this situation, and to give to the
party of intelligence and progress
not only an equal newspaper circu
lation, but one larger, more power
ful, and more commanding.
OUR FRIEND, GREAT BRITAIN.
It is well for nations as it is for
individuals to learn betimes who
are their friends. Our differences
with Chile, now ostensibly settled,
have done us at least the service of
disclosing, for the twentieth time,
the malignant hostility with which
Americans nre regarded by a large
and influential section of the Eng
lish people. The spiteful comments
of the London newspapers, tory and
liberal, on our determination to up
hold the honor of our flag, have re
vealed what the so-called ties of
kindred amount to. They prove
that, outside of the advanced radi
dals and Irish nationalists, we have
scarcely any real friends in the
United Kingdom; that the great
majority, not only of the tories and
whigs, but also such liberals as are
engaged in trade and manufactures,
feel as much hatred for this
country as did their forefathers in
1770, 1812 and 1862, and that we have
stiil an implacable, though now a
relatively timorous and impotent,
enemy in the classes preponderant
in parliament and London society.
We are glad that our British ill
wishers have shown their hands,
and we beg to assure them with
equal frankness that their antipathy
is reciprocated, and that any trace
of sympathy or admiration for
things English on this side of the
Atlantic is confined . to a few
hundred silly women of both Sexes.

THE TERRITORIAL ADMISSION
MATTERS.
Bills for the admission of Ari
zona, New Mexico, Utah and Okla
homa to statehood have already
been introduced in one or both
branches of congress, and an earn
est effort will ' be made to send
them to the president some time
during ;he present session. These
are all the existing territories ex
cept Alaska. Paitisian lines will
be down on this question as has
been usually the case in the past.
This practice began as far back as
the entrance of Missouri to the
Union, nearly three-quarters of a
century ago. The Dakotas were
kept out for years after they had at
tained a greater population than
some of the older states possessed
because the democrats, who had
control of the house of representa
tives, were unwilling to assist in
creation of states which would give
their votes to the republican party.
Washington, too, was kept out by
the same party for a like reason.
In the present instance, it seems,
the democratic favor the admission
of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah,
and are opposed to that of Okla
homa, while the republicans want
the last named territory to come in
and the others to sta v out.
Oklahoma could be relied on to go
republican in three elections out of
every four, while the others are
probably just as 'sure for the demo
crats. None of these territories, except-Utahf
have as many inhabi
tants as ore required for each rep.
resentative in the house from the
larger states, although New Mexico
which has perhaps 152,000 people
now, is less than 20,000 below that
requirement. Arizona, the small
est of the territories, has perhaps
62.000 or 63,000 inhabitants, and
Oklahoma, with the recent addition
to its area jnd population, about
80,000. Of all of the territories. Okla
noma's gains in the future in popu
lation must be the most rapid and
continuous. This is a circumstance
which should be kept in view in
considering the question of admis
sion. Politics, at all events, should
have no weight in the matter of ad
mission. Separate measures ought
to be had, and each territory's
claim for elevation to statehood
ought to be determined on their
merits. Utah, however, should be
kept out on account of its being
controlled by the Mormon church,
and as long as that element con
trols her she should not be allowed
to enter the union of states; but
New Mexico and Oklahoma should
both be allowed to enter statehood,
as they are both worthy of it and
will soon have the required popula
tion. "The white-winged dove is doing
business at its old stand in the
cannon's mouth," says the Mem
phis Appeal-Avalanche. It is, and
it is one of the healthiest symp
toms of the national life of this
blessed republic that the rust can
be scoured out of that gun, and the
cooing dove turned into a scream
ing war eagle before an imper
tinent foeman can say Jack Robin
son. Tub Illinois corn crop for 1891 is
worth $32,102,150, while that for 1890
was worth but $18,390,810. This
probably explains why alliance pol
itics in 1892 are so unpromising in
the Sucker state. Omaha Bee.
WAVERLAND.
A TALE OF OUR COMINC LANDLORDS.
BY IARAH MABIR BRIQHAJC
Copyrighted, 1886.
use Mjcm uuuseu, sua uuii uave we powei
to grind the life out of the unfortunate
man who has not been blessed with rich
relations, fat offices or lucky opportunities,
by which he can buy or steal titles to lands
that God made free as the air we breathe,
for all to enjoy and use, not to monopolize
and abuse."
"Then you would make null and void all
titles to lands?" asked the duke.
"As a means of wealth and speculation I
would, but not as a means of life. I be
lieve laws should be made, by which titles
to lands would be granted for use and oc
cupation only. And that all taxes should
be levied on land values, but nothing on
Improvement. Why, as it is now, there
Is a premium offered to the man who can
bold the most land and make the least Im
provements. As it is now, if you build a
house you are taxed for it. If you plant a
tree or shrub, or do anything to add beau
ty to yonr home, you must pay for the lux
ury In additional taxes. Lords Sanders
knows how that Is. He will not even put
a coat of paint on that old shanty or dig a
well for fear of his taxes being heavier."
"Are there many of your opinion in this
settlement?" asked the duke.
"Yes, sir, nearly all the tenants and
fanners generally believe as I do. But we
tenants are not free to vote as we please.
We must follow an unprincipled agent
and vote with him or be evicted. Talk
about freedom and progress! We are not
free, but we belong to a class of serfs and
slaves. We are slaves of the foreign land
lord all because he has been allowed to in
vest his wealth In American soil. But it
will not always be so," said the man with
warmth. "These foreign landlords," he
continued, "think they are riding an ass,
but they may yet find the beast to be an
enraged tigress instead. They cannot bind
us body and soul forever. The Farmers
Alliance clubs that meet In almost every
county in this state and in the United
States are putting new thoughts into our
heads and new Impulses into our hearts,
which inspire us with new ho;es. If w
only unite in our efforts we will yet crush
out this great land monopoly and defeat
the foreign landlords. The Alliance sends
good reading into the tenants' homes and
children will lesra that the greatest crime
of the nineteenth century is this alien
landlordism! I say God bless the Farm
er's Alliance! And may he send us wise
law-givers so that Just laws shall be enact
ed and fairly administered and human
equality enjoyed. We want a government
of the people, by the people and for the
people!' Then we can defeat tyranny at
home and abroad.
"We have no need to import landlords!
They are of no more use to us than a pack
of wolves in a Hock of sheep. They pro
duce nothing. They do not even spend
the money they obtain from us in this
country, but, it goes to England or some
other foreign nation. Why, Ixird Sanders
nukes his loa.st that he receives from his
tenants in America two hundred thousand
dollars every year. Good day, gentlemen,
I must go on with my work," said the
man, starting for the Held wttli his team
and cultivator.
We visited live other tenant families
that were living on Lord Sanders' estate.
One was un Irishman, When the duke
aked him if he liked living in America,
he said:
"Och, and It's bad luck to me that I iver
came to America at all! for I am under
the self-same old master as I was in Ire
land! woe be to him! Ho evicted me
there!" ' : ,
"What do you mean?" I asked.
, "Lord Sanders had hundreds of us
turned out at once, like pigs In a stye; ye
see he wanted the land for cattle. But we
made him sick of it, and he sold his laud
there and bought, here. , Bad luck to bimt
And I'm one ohia tenants' again. 1 left
Ireland and came to free America to get
me a home!" .1 ..
I Every tenant we visited wu discontent
ed and eager for a change. But they did
not dare to leave for fear they would not
find another place as good. ; Hard as it
seemed and discontented as they were,
they all realised that there were plenty ol
other men waiting to get even a chance on
a Place. Nearly all were hnmiful thm
i umei would sometime be belter, ana that
tney couia tnen make something for them
selves. Some even thought that a law
might be mode, whereby my lord would
I forced to sell his lands, and then ther
. expected a chance to purchase. They
' needed the stimulus of hope. Want and
; discouragement was visibly in every koine
! we visited. The shanties and cabins were
I ai clean as possible, yet the one room,
. summer and winter, miNt hold the whole
I family, whether few or many. These
j shanties were ijways cheap, rou;;h and
j uupalnted. They were uniformly excised
to the cliillind w inds of winter or the broil
ing sun, without the kindly shelter of tree
or shrub.
As we left the little settlement.' with on-
I ly a few farmers who hn.l any fIiow of
euuuori i said:
"I see the same conditions here that we
have in Ireland, except that hero we find
Intelligent people w ho make tm effort to
Improve themselves with some hope of the
future."
"And," said the duke, "if the people are
forming into unions and clubs to work
against us, we will soon find ourselves as
the man said, In a den of tigers Instead of
among a herd of asses."
"Do you believe the Irishman's story,
that he is working for the same landlord
here that he was under In Ireland?"
"It may be true. Lord Sanders once
owned the estate Sir Wren now owns in
Ireland."
"Why, was he the man Sir Wren told
me had three hundred tenant farmers
evicted because he wanted to make the
whole estate into a tenant fanul"
"I presume he is the man," said the
duke.
"Well, he did not have a very pleasant
time of it. Sir Wren said that the enraged
tenants would drive oft his stock as fast as
he could buy it in spite of all the dogs and
ogenta ne could procure."
"That was his reason for selling. He
told me he was very thankful for the
change; that putting his money Into pro
perty in America liml added thousands of
dollars to his wealth. It was through his
gixxl success that I was tempted to put so
much money into lands In the new West.
If the people are beginning to think and
Inquire it may not be ho safe trusting to
ow-nov firce and barb wire fences to hold
inese lands as we were thinking. In mak
ing my last purchases I have had that in
mind, and have been very careful in get
ting bona JUU titles to the lands I pur
chased. But here Is another trouble that
may annoy us as the fanner said, if they
should establish a law to lew taxes on
lana vanies 4u not on uuprovetueuw,
would soon change our profits into losses.
Yet it will be a long time before that will
come to pass. Only a few have thonght of
that yet, and the people of this country
have to be educated into any change,"
aid the duke.
"As I understand it, from those I have
talked with, the object of the Farmers'
Alliance Club is to educate the common
people on this very subject. The people, I
meaa the mosses are being educated in the
one grand principle of equality. There are
unions, clubs and orders devoted entirely
to this subject. The people are a power in
this nation, when once thoroughly aroused.
And," I continued, "when men like these
tenant farmers groaning under the in
justice of unfair rents and unjust taxes
Anally band together for mutual protection
and just laws, they will create a force that
even money cannot control!"
CHAPTER XIV. DAKOTA.
Leaving Chicago we went northwest,
passing through Wisconsin, that grand
state so famous for cheese and batter;
through Minnesota with its brood Melds of
growing wheat, clear rivers and bracing
air, into Dakota, the new, the great, the
grand; the giant of the northwest. Here
little homes dot the prairies, giving evi
dence of growth. ' Here the hardy pioneers
come to taste the romance of taming nat
ure and to coax wealth and happiness
from the fertile soil. We passed over riv
ers whose waters were clear as crystal;
through villages full of enterprise and
thrift. ' .
"This seems a growing state," I said,
looking out over the expanse of country
thickly dotted with cosy little homes.
' "It is among the first," said the duke, ia
answer to my question. "It claims a
greater number of postofHces than anyone
of the twenty-three other states and terri
tories, and pays more revenue into the
postofllce department than any one of the
thirty-two of them. It has colleges, nor
mal schools and Institutions endowed by
the territory. Its educational fund, de
rived from lands donated by the general
government, promises to !e the largest be
longing to the state. The official reports
show that there is less sickness in Dukota
than in any other state or territory in the
Union. Immense beds of coal are being
discovered in many parts of the territory.
Time was, they tell me, when all these
fertile plains belonged to what we knew in
our school days as the Great Amercan
Desert. But not a trace of the desert re
mains on any railroad map of to-day. I
remember picturing the sand on the des
ert here, as playing the same pranks as in
the Great Sahara of Africa. But imagine
that great desert becoming a blooming
garden!"
"How much this looks like Illinois," I
said as we were riding along.
! "Yes, Waverland, you will be surprised j
to find that all prairie lands have some of
the same general features, at least I was.
But you notice there is no low, flat,
marshy laud here. The surface of the
prairie, both upland and valley, Is every
where undulating," said the duke, "while
the river courses, fringed with timber,
afford a grateful relief from the monotony
of the prairies."
"Here we are at our destination," said
the duke, as the train came to a halt at a
little station where everything looked new.
Even the business sigus seemed to smell of
new paint.
We found comfortable rooms In a little
house occupied by the duke's agent. The
agent kept a provision store and postofllce.
His wife, a fair, intelligent woman, took
charge of the office and did her own house
keeping. Sho was a stout energetic wo
man, kept things in order, gave us good
meals, and tho tenants their mail.
"Then this Is your El Dorado," I said to
the duke, when, after a comfortable din
ner, we started out to see something of
this new American dukedom."
"Yea, tins is my El Dorado," hi an
swered laughing. "You have not seen any
thing of the famous king, have your"

tance like a mighty tea of gentle undulat

the hand of nature. : ,,-
"Xn these little buildings the homes of

"Yes; they may look small to us, but to
