Some dajs ago the tele crania announced that a motion had ten Id in the federal supreme court to advance the maximum rate case to an early bearing. The hearing of this motion has been set for the third Mon day in January. The motion was upon astipulation entered into by Attorney General Churchill on behalf of the state . and Hon. J. M. Woolworth, who repre sents the railroads, the former acting in pursuance of a resolution adopted by the state board of transportation abont ...two weeks after the recent election. " This resolution was as follows: X "Whereas, It is for the best interest of ) the people of this same state that the maximum freight cases now pending in the supreme court of fhe United States should be speedily detcniinfd, and realizing the impossibility of the present attorney. general of this state to make a trip to Washington during bis term of oQce to present the same; and realising that we have done all in ourf .wer to hare them determined,, and that our successors will soon be in charge and be- ' lieving that these cases should have the t personal attention of the attorney- . general of the , state as well as that of the special council, be it therefore ' I "Resolved, That the presentj attorney sf general be instructed to arrange with counsel for the several companies for as early a hearing aft possible, considering all uiw circuuiBittiiuen, alter iuo uun- davs." ' When it is remembered that the pres ent attorney general finishes his term of service early in January, and that this resolution was adopted after it was known that lie would so finish, there is room for speculation iu the above. , FREE !

Parmer Fred 'Schweizer Doesn't Take a Roseate View of Election Results. Lincoln, Dec. 10. Under the headline of "Poor Kansas," the Illimis Btaats Zeitung, edited by Postmaster Hesing at Chicago, says that citizens of Kansas cannot get any money and that they are cut off from all business as a con sequence of the last election, because HALL Will give the toy cook stove the stove with one joint ot pipe.

A more cynical, devilish scheme of tyranny to subjugate and ruin honest people, lor no othercause than that they dared to vote against the will of des pots, was never invented. For three years Kansas and Nebraska had crop failures, so that many families which had for years worked hard to break up the raw prairie, thereDy opening un developed natural resources, were com pelled to leave their homes, so that the rest of the people could hardly make their living; and now as they gtjt their first crop, and might revive, if they but had a little time, these insatiable, greedy, despotic Shylocka try to enslave them forever by robbing tnem 01 me fruits of their hard labor, and as we judge by the malicious pleasure of the Illinois Staats Zeitung, the hellish scheme will be executed to the very letter 11 the government doesn't interfere. For years these snyiocics ruiea tne western Btates and plundered state, connty and town treasuries, while cor porations, trusts, etc., systematically sucked the life blood of the people, thereby creating misery, the like of which hardly exists in auy despotic state, and now as the people try to draw on this yoKe, these tyrants try to eternalize their ab solute rule by expelling the people from their homes and ruining thousands of happy families by degrading them to lawless beggars who must tramp from town to town and hunt in gutters and alleys for something to eat. At the same time carloads of such perishable goods as meat, fish, vegetables, etc., are thrown into the rivers because poor peo ple have not the few cents with which to buy them. '. With contempt we look at uncivilized, barbaric savages who kneel before wooden and stone idols, crocodiles, serpents, . etc., and worship them as their gods, and even sacrifice their men, but at the same time, we, the so-called civilized nations, crawl on our bellies before well filled money bags and sacrifice to them mil lions of precious lives. Each of them could be saved by giving them a single piece of gold with an eagle stamped upon it. All this occurs only to make a few already well-filled money bags of our insatiable Shylocks even fuller. What else are our Vanderbilts.Goulds, Astors, Huntingtons, Havemeyers, Rockefellers, Carnefcies, Pullmans, Clevelands, etc., than beastly jugger nauts who bathe themselves in humau blood? Statisticians say that a common tamuy neeus tiuuui u year for living. The Twentieth Century figured out that Cleveland made over $5,000,000 since he became president. This means nothing else then than that 12,500 families, or about 60,000 men, women ana cnuuren, mum nave been robbed of their means of living for a whole year that he could make this profit.

TO EFFECT AN ORGANIZATION Of the Nebraska State Free Silver League for Educational Purposes. January 6 the Date. The free silver advocates iu Omaha hare issued a challenge to t he friends of the cause all over Nebraska to rally ia response to .the declaration by Hon. W. Bryan, made just after the election. of tht purpose of the free silver people to at once begin a campaign of eduia looking to results four years hence. The following call has been issued: "Believing it to be impossible to restpre prosperity in any permanent degree to the now prostrate industries and business of the country or to save the masses of the people of the United States from further and greater spolia tion and ruin except by a change in the present monetary standard and policy. "And that, therefore, tne money ques tion, especially as involving the resto ration of silver to free and unlimited coinage, equally with gold, into full legal tender money at the ratio of lo to 1, as under the law prior to 1878, regardless of the action of any other nation, over shadows every other question and must remain the paramount political issue of the immediate future or until settled. "And also believing that it is only through organization and systematic education that the masses of the people can be brought to see the fallucy and ruinous effects of the present system, or that they can be united for its over throw and to ad oot a better system. "Therefore, we, the undersigned citi zens of Omaha, Neb., regardless of past or present party affiliation, and for the purpose of effecting a more perfect union and organization of all parties for sys tematic education and work in propa gating these principles among the people unite in Issuing a call for a state confer enceand invitation to participate there in of all advocates of bimetallism, to be held at the capital city of Lincoln, Lan sing theater, Wednesday, January 6, 18) commencing at 2 p. ni at which conference it is proposed to organize a Nebraska state free silver league, also provide for local auxiliary leagues throughout the state, and to consider such other monetary questions as may properly come before said conference. "It is proposed that in said conference each county in the state shall be entitled to three delegates at large and one ad' ditional delegate for every 2o0 votes or major fraction thereof cast for the Bryan tree silver electors at the election November 3, 1896, said delegates to be chosen by a county convention or com mittee in which members of the people's independent party, free silver democrats and free silver republicans shall uuite and have fair and equitable representa tion according to their relative strength in each county, as the delegates chosen ought also to be equally representative of all parties. -v This document bears the signatures of John Jeffcoat, chairman, Thomas F.
