THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. June ii, 189b. SENATOR HENRY M. TELLER. Seivet Notice tbt he Cannot be Nom inated at Chicago as Democrat. Wahhinotos, D.C., JuneO, 1S5W. Social to the IsiEPENDKNT:-One of the most interesting character in the political arena at thin hour is the Hon. Henry M. Teller of Colorado. He was one of the first men in national reputa tion in the old parties this year to de clare that the time had come for every patriot to put patriotism above party, and that he for one, in the coming cam paign would oppose any party that turned its back upon financial reform and the cause of humanity, and that he was ready to join hands with all pa triots in a common fiht to restore the money of the constitution, to secure good government, and to bring back prosperity to the people. It is certain that he and the delegates from nearly every western state will walk out of the republican convention at St. Louis. It is also certain that the western delegates will at that time put forward the name of Senator Teller and recommend him to all men who are op nnurf tn the mild standard as a suitable tn fnr nresident on whom the south and west and patriots from every where can unite in a common cause. In short, on that occasion the great west will hold out its fraternal hand to the south and appeal for a union of forces of these two great sections that are now suffering from the same evils and which are bound to have the same remedies be fore they can prosper. Will the south nnnt tha invitation? Mr Tllr is not only sound on the flnnnciil (mention, and opposed totrusts, combines and monopolies, but he is also a moderate man on the tarin question, nnrf in defiance of his party has boldly placed it in the background until the shy locks and the gold gamblers can be defeated, the people given more money and good times restored by rising prices. TlBsides. it was due to the efforts of Sen- ntfir Teller and Senator Stewart that th infamous force bill which the north era republicans tried to place on the south was defeated. When that measure n hefore conirress. Senator Teller thought it was a republican party meas ure, not only rofused to vote for it, but denounced it as the most infamous bill that ever passed the threshold of any legislative body in the history of the world. The fact that the western republicans will recommend Tellor's name to all vot ers who are opposed to the gold stand ard will place upon the silver democrats at Chicago a peculiar and important diitv. In short, it will test cheir loyalty . to silver and to the people. If the silver democrats in their convention at Chicago refuse to endorse Teller as the most suit able man upon whom the south and west can unite, and in fact the most available man upon whom to unite the silver forces, it will show that they care more for party name and are controlled more by party prejudice than they are bv desire to relieve the people and re- store eood times. If they should turn their backs upon the proffered hand of the west and put up some so-called silver democrat simply because hahas the dem ocratic label on him, it will be because they had rather keep the eastern gold men in the party with them than to unite the silver forces of the country and win a exeat victory. It is no longer a secret that the gold men in the democratic party are deter mined to hold to the party machinery and to allow the free silver democrats to nominate only the kind of a free silver man that they, the gold men, may select: and there is great danger that a number of Bilver democrat leaders with the hope of keeping the party together and hold ing their state machines in liue with the party, will accept these terms from the gold men rather than to take a bold stand and purge themselves of the gold element in order to unite all the forces opposed to thegold ring. Teller and his friends have already served notice on these men that they cannot nominate liim (Teller) as a party man or as a dem ocrat. In this he is wise, because no man can be elected president in the com' ing campaign who wears the democratic label and must bear the odium and the record of treachery and broken promises of which that party has so recently been sruilty. If the silver democrats should throw away this opportunity to redeem the country from the clutches of the gold combine, then the; people's party and Mima western silver republicans will join hands, and while they may not be able to sweep the country this year, they will poll more electoral votes than the demo cratic party can, and come out second in the race, and in 1900 the people's party will deliver the country by electing a president ana a congress m yiuruuKu accord. .

The plutocratic -Evening Post comes out openly in a recent issue and advo cates the establishment of a monarcbial form of government in the United states. Legislatures, says the Post, are made to legislate and not to govern. The Gal veston News endorses the idea of the Post and says that what the country needs is a strong hand like that of Cleve land at the helm of state affairs. North ;Unkot Safe. John Doherty, an early day speaker in the reform movement in North Dakota writes: "There is a big split in the re publican party in this state over the de feat of Senator Uansbrough in the state convention on account of his position on the silver question. As for the dem ocrat party, nothing is left of it save land office officials and postmasters. If the people s party does not carry this state I shall be engulfed by the mystery of the defeat. ' Two Not of a Kind. There are two classes of reformers in the populist party, both desiring success and both earnest in advocacy of correct principles.

W. F. I., Fremont, Neb. Changed Their Minds. Two years ago Lincolu post, Grand Army of the Republic, of Denver, passed a vote of censure upon Myron W.

Mr. Reed, by invita tion, was the special guest of the post and delivered the memorial day sermon at its celebration. Old Fashioned Kevival.

On May 17, the company sustained a heavy loss in the most destructive storm that ever struck Ne braska. Seventeen of our policy holders had property destroyed to the amount of $5,373. This will necessitate an as sessment of $7.50 per f 1,000 and will leave some money iu the treasury, per haps enough to run to the end of five years; at this rate the cost per $1,000 will be but $12 while the rate of the old liners would have been $20 ou time (now reduced to $18), $6 saved on their low est rate to say nothing of interest which would be as much more at least, and this was the hardest storm that ever struck Nebraska soil. Anything that came in the way of tho storm was utter ly wiped out. Hence we would not con sider that the average loss will compare with this rate but will be much lower. Samuel Lichty, president, Falls City; J. Y. M. Swigart, secretary, Lincoln. We would like to have similiar reports from every county. Some have heavy losses, others none. The average is only about one-third the cost in stock com pany.

Please mark this article and hand to some member of your com pany and get him interested in knowing just what other companies are doing,so that when the stock company's agent tells him that all the mutuals except his own have been dismal failures, and that it is only a matter of time when all mutuals must succumb.
