Treaaurnr Meserve ha iaued a call for 130,000 of State University warrant lor July 18. He will Issue another call for $50,000 of general fund warrants in a few days. If Mr. Meserve was so in clined he could doubtless put off theee calls for a lew months and reap a nice reward In the way of Interest (or the use of the money. If he pursued such a courae he would only be following along established precedent. ' The rpublicau party is so anxious to paa.4 the tariff bill that they will not make speeches iu the senate. Tbey pre fer to hold caucuses and make speeches there instead of the senate, The Con gressional Record does not publish what is said In republican caucuses. Of course if the republicans held lees caucuses, and and held mors frequent and longer ser vices in the senate chamber the popu lists and democrats would very soon get through with their speechmaking and a dual vote could be bad. But com. mon people are not supposed to know that. Congressman J.

POSTAL BTl!fC8 BANKS. Postal savings bankshave been evolv. ed in foreign countries from private in stitutions, that were first organized a charitable institutions calculated to stim ulate babits of tbrilt and frugality among tbe poor and by this means de crease in providence and intemperance, Consul Walling says in his report that private savings banks for these purposes were organized as early as 1778. They were governed and maintained without expectation of profit but purely through motive, of benevolence. The govern ment of (JreatBritian began to legislate concerning them in 1817, bnt no im- nortant legislation was passed until May, 1881, when a bill drawn by Mr, Gladstone and entitled "An act afford ing additional facilities tor depositing small savings at intersr, with tbe secur ity of the government for the due repay ment thereof" was passed, thereby es- tabliehing postal savings banks. That the public appreciated the good to come of this institution is evinced by the alacrity with which it bestowed its patronage. On the 16th day of Septero ber, 1801, the post office saving bank were opened to depositors, and ou that day 435 deposits were received. At the end of the following yeur 2,5.'J5 offices were open and nearly 2,000,000 had accumulated, while ten years later, so fast was the hold upon popular regard, the number of depositors had increased to nearly one and a half millions, and tbe amount of deposits, including Inter est, reached something more t Jim 19, 000.000, At the close of business Dec, 81, 1886, there were 8,731,421 deposits with 50,874.838 pounds sterling to their credit. One person in every five in the kingdom had availed themselves of the benefits of this institution, Tbe old sar. ing bank were practically driven out of business. Groat Britain has now ex tended tbl system to nearly all of' ber colonies. A system very similar to that in England Is now in operation in France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Hol land and Japan. In all of these coun tries savings banks are looked upon as apart of the government. They are useful and popular and the common peo ple would not allow them to be discon tinued. Why is it the United States must get along without a similar insti tution? Simply became the people in sist on keeping in power a political pnrty that Is owned and controlled by the banking institutions and the aris tocracy of the cant. - called Cousin Osborne from London or asked for the resignation of Vanghn and Toungbiood, or even withdrawn the scandalous nomination of Ilngbes. Is there no moral responsibility in volved in the nee of the appointing power, or i a president who professes respectability, high morality audre ligion, under moral obligation to reward rascal with office because those rascals have done rascally things to promote bis election. A H1-MKTALKIC FANTASY, The republican press of the country is gi ndually snaking bold enough to ad mit that the "internatoniul agreement" clause in the republican platform was and is intended only as a trap for the unwary. It is merely a confidence game. The republican pnrty would make tbe people believe that it is for the restora tion of silver as a money metal, and when given power will discriminate against it more than ever. Concerning tbe probability of any good for silver coming from the International agree ment commission the St. Paul Pioneer Press, one of the oldest republican paper in tbe northwest says: The) report that the Kngllsh govern- ment Intends to give any sincere aid to the establishment' of international bi metallism is absurd. All representa tives of tbe kind, either in relation to England or any of the principal coun tries of the continent, do not deserve the serious attention of men at all acquaint ed with the nature of European opinion. So far as any sentiment in favor of bi metallism exist at all It exist outside of business md government circles. This is a partial uncovering of the real intent of the republican party, it Is for the perpetuity of the gold standard, nationally and internationally. It is for the continued contraction of tbe currency and the consequent decrease in price of all products. Under such a sys tem how can this country ever get out of debt? Our products are to grow less valuable and our obligations to increase in amount by the accumulations of in terest. How will we ever make both ends meet? THE WAY HANNA MD IT. A correspondent of the New York World has given us a new chapter in the history of Mr. McKinley' nomination. In brief this Is it: Hanna and tbe president's cou;n, William McKinley Osborne, found that the Alabama delegation to St. Louis were likely to be Iteednien. They went to Alabama to "change the situation." Ilauna lurulehed and Osborne distrib uted a boodle fund of about 127,000, They "bought up the niggers" and thus helped to make McKinley' nomination sure. Now Mr. McKinley is "paying his debts." lie has made his cousin Os borne consul-general at London, In the same spirit be put Youngblood, Os borne's chief local lieuteuant. Into a fat otlke in Washington; he made Vaughn, another of the baodlej diatitiutrs, United State attorney (or the 1.01 Hutu llstrkt t Alabama, and be even nomi nated Hughes, th third "nigger buyer," to be post master at llirmluKham, The Baptist minister of that re Ion and other reputable people have declared over .their own signature that Hughe is a man ol disreputable character, and i strong ara the priest that o a lavorabl senate committee ha return, tbu far to recommend hi eoafirwa- tiun. Yetth prl!rt, tbaugb'itott fully ftcquatated with, th fe.t t. ha not rt CONCEKTEU ACTIOS. There has been much written and said about fusion between political parties. It is a painful tborn in tbe aide of tbe republican party. The term fusion hardly describe tbe exact condition ex isting in this state. The combination of political parties, tbe so called fusion is more accurately described as "concerted action." Tbe great victories that have been won are tbe result of a triple al liance, a concert of three minor force or political parties, to defeat a common enomy. It bas resulted in great good to the state. The old party press has attempted to make pollticut capital to bolster up its waning cause by de nouncing the means by which the reform forces won the victory. To democrats they say, "Yon have lost your party Identity." To populists they say "you have been swallowed" The silver repub licans are classed a "sore bead." It is easy to understand why tbe republican press should condemn the united and harmonious pojicy of its enemies, but it is not so easy to understand why popu lists should unite with them in condemn ing a course that bas wrought so much good. The claim that purty identity is destroyed is without foundation. No one would aseert that Germany bad lost her identity a a nation simply because she joined with Austria and Italy in the formation of the triple alliance to con trol tbe politics and peace of Europe. No one can show that tbe populist party ha been swallowed or lost if idonity as a political party by uniting with its friends to advance 'the prosperity of Ne braska and wrest tbe state from the clutches of robbers. The Independent favors a course that will preserve the Integrity of the populist party. Its or ganlzation must be maintained in all its details, from tbe school district and pre cinct committeemen to the chairman of tbe national committee. It should bold its own conventions and transact its own business, keeping In view at all .lines, the welfare of the purty, state and nation. , A BASK Mlti-ItKI'JtENKNTATION, The State Journal has a habit of per verting the truth about almost every thing. The latest attempt Is to make out that the claim of Hartley's attor neys that tbe verdict of the Jury Is fatally defective. The Journal cannot even tell tbe truth about so small a thing as that. It says: Tbe copy of the verdict shows that the verdict finds Bartley guilty of em berzling only a little over $15,000 in stead of over $151,000. This report is based on tbe peculiar manner in which the figures are pointed off. The figures appear "$15188.44.5" which might be rea.l oil as fifteen thousand, one hun dred and eighty eight dollars, forty-four cents and nve mills," The figures do notappearpointed oft as the Journal says. The records in the of fice of the clerk of the supreme court show the punctuation to be $151 88.4.45 aud it cannot be read a forty-tour cent and five mills any more than it can be read in several other ways. The Intent of the jury was a clear a it could be. It was correctly read as one hundred and fifty- one thousand, eight hundred and eighty four dollars and forty-five cents to tbe jury aud each of tbetu replied affirma tively to the question "Is this and was this your verdict?" The policy that is being pursued by tbe present administration of enhancing the value of gold in every manner possi ble by increasing the demand for well illustrated in the fact that all inter est payments on tbe $02,000,000 worth of bonds issued by Grover Cleveland are made in gold, It will be remembered that this was the batch of bonds for which Cleveland could have received $16- 000,000 more if he had issued them pay able in gold alone. In other words he paid $10,000,000 for the privilege of paying them in silver. The gold stand ard advocate in power will not exer cise this right even though it was pur chased In ths o,uhh market by one of their own number. They fear that tb iucrensed demand for silver dollars to be used in this way might Increase the price of silver bullion, and shoe to tbe people the teal reusoii that silver bul lion is cheup and gold Is hiuh. The o pie would then know tbt the disparity is due to discrimination by tbe gov ernment, and that to restore parity it Is only neeesaar.Y for the(4ttvernmnt to honor the two metals alike. Congress man Belt of Colorado has oberved th course oft be traasury otlleials la cou- iteetlun with the payments oa the bonds nutl hits introduced a bill requlrine; th tlMt treasurer to exwis at least ou halt' ol his right and pay but WvitUit on half of th iutrt and prineipsl ol th bonds In silver. A Mr. Bell is n populist to bill will probably be plg.i' hotil by Tom IWd the euugreas. Bead Hardy's furniture advertWmeal ta be found on page 7, and il la need of furniture writ lor rtkue. NO ASTl-TRl'ST LEGISLATION. Tbe republican secretary of state John Sherman, was tbe author of tbe present anti trust law, He ha said that tbe law ie a failure because it is not broad enough and strong enough to cope with great corporations and combination of corporations. The bill as originally iu troauced oy him was much stronger and would have been effective tbVnate committee on judiciary had not made changes which materially weakened its effect. In discussing the law a few days ago be said: The people bave a right 'to open com petition in all industries and trades. Res traint of trusts can be made effective when we can get tbe proper kind of law. The supreme court has 'Upheld tbe pres ent trust law but ha pointed out Its de fects. I think that those defects can and will be remedied. But the action of congress doe not seem to warrant Mr. Sherman's hopeful Forecast, fcvery anti-trust amendment that has been , proposed has been promptly voted down. Tbe republican senators in congress bave decided tha tney will not introduce or support an anti-trust amendment. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts says that trusts must bo controlled by states, not by congress, anil the republican party follows bis lead. Of course this means relief lor the people, The average state legislature can easily control and regulate those powerful interstate and International combinations of wealth that so com pletely own and manipulate both branches of the eongrens of the United States. Yes, its a wise policy, this re- publican policy of Senator Hoar's. It's like a man with a bigger load than be can carry trying to unload it on a boy The trusts will continue to robthe peo pie while the aged senator from tbe Bay State evolves a new scheme, HOW WILL THK SETTLE THE BILL? TUB IN VKMTIOATIMO COMMIT! HK o 1 .1 . , ,, ovine ji imt repuoncan paper are greatly exercised for fear the legislative Investigating committee, which i going through the record of the several state offices and state institutions, will not properly perform its duties. The State Journal shows greater anxiety than any other, Itsuirtrests that the cnmmlta is extravagant and points to the start ling fact that tbe committee has con sumed nearly one-fourth of the appro priatlon made by the legislature, and -1 l..t i t - 1. . . waa uMrmiveiy wnai nns Keen accom plished. It has assisted the attorney general to such an extent that J. S Bartley has been convicted. From what we can learn they are preparing the same dose for the Hon. Eugene Moore, It Is preparing statements and aaeer. taining fucts that will enable the attor ney-genernl to recover from the bonds men of some of the republican defanl ters, it would not be wise for them to publish the details of their findings as they proceed with their work. If they oid some of the thieves mlht abscond. The bondsmen would certainly dispose of their property in order to escape Ha bility, It is with poor grace that the Journal attempts to advise the attor ney-general and legislative Investigating committee how they should oroceed In their investigation and prosecutions. State officials that have followed the Journal's advice in the post have made the remarkable record of allowing every defaulting official to escape, Tbe first and only one prosecuted by the present administration has been convicted. The committee is carefully investigate Ing the details of the management of each of the state Institutions, as to their methods of keeping accounts, em ploying help and dividing the work, keeping the buildings In repair and tin profltt bio employment of the inmates in those .nstitutions where they are able to work. Tbe committee will reoom mend a uniform system of bookkeeping to be used in all state institution from which the facts concerning the receipt and disbursement of state funds can be ascertained with but very little labor. In some of the state institutions, under republican ' management for nineteen years, there was no cash record kept There are many things that will appear' In the report of the investigating com mittee that will make most interesting reeding. The Journal suggests that the mem hereof tbe committee are not qualified for their work, that they are "farmers" nud not "expert accountants." They ar capable men, every one of them" They are honest men. When they make their report to the governor tbe people will know the facts, and their findings will not add anything to the glory of th republican party. liters were many men who wanted to Ign Treasure Meserre's bond.

No cotnmnnl cation should contain more than 800 words. Manuscript will not be returned, Orpr.Mlatlon of Silver and Its Relation to Gold, The main argument against the free coinage of silver at the legal ratio of 16 to l,i that silver is of so little value, and ha depreciated so much in the last twenty year that it is unjust to make a dollar worth 100 cents, while the dol lar contain only 50 cents worth of sil ver. The gold bugs of tbe United States say that the depredation in tbe value ver Is caused by the great amount of silver produced, tbw cunning tbe fall In the price of tbe metal, while there' form element says the low price of silver is caused by it demonetization. To prove that demonetization has caused the tall in the price of silver, tbe follow ing table is submitted which includes the production of the sold and silver of the entire world.

Editor Ikdkpendent: Saw an article in the World Herald wherein the writer demands as a right tbe nomination of a democrat for supreme judge by the next populist convention. There is a state ment in the article which will not bear investigation. Tbe wriOr claims that at tbe lust election tbe democrats were given but one place while the fact re mains that they were given seven places, namely, the attorney general, four elec tors and two congressmen. The writer charges the populists with "bad faith'' when the bad faith was on the other side. It will be remembered that as soon a Mr. liryan was nominated at Chicago, democratic leaders all over this state promised without even being asked that if the populists would go to St. Louis and nominate Mr. Itryan, that tbe democrats would ask nothing more, but would endorse and vote for every man the populist would put up, Hut when the populist state conven tion met they bad forgotten their prom iseand were on hand with their demand for two of tbe best places on tbe ticket, and got one of them. And when the congressional convention came off later they demanded three oat of the six con gressmen, and got two, both of whom were beaten aa the whole state ticket would have been if we bad submitted to democratic demands. On the basis of tbe vote cast by the democrat and populist parties at tha previous election the democrat got more than their share of the pliices on the ticket. There were about 70,000 straight populists In the state and less than 10,000 free sil ver democrat. That entitled them to but one seventh of the state offices, but lhey managed to get one sixth, besides four electors and two congreestnen. That the democrats failed to beelected wus not the fault of the populists. , If tho democruts had stood bv them as faithfully as the populists did they would bave been elected. It was democratic traitors who da-. feated them. Democrats who followed Morton, shouted for Palmer and voted for McKinley, Mercer find Strode, I was Dorn and raised a democrat and wor shiped at tbe party shrine with all tha patriotism and devotion that man ever bowed his knee to bis political God, but wnen i wa torcea to acknowledge that my leader had sold tbe party to the money power of Wall street and Va,it. land! cut loose from it, and twentv year ago found the reform force upon a platform that demanded tbe free coin age of silver, tbe abolition of tbe na tional bank and many other reform which tbe democrat at that time bad never asked for. If the democrats are sincere in their effort to bring about financial reform tney should cut loose from the old rot ten democratic ship and join the party which bas been fighting for this thing for over twenty years, and not come now after the victory is so nearly won and trie enemy on the retreat offer in? to help finish the fight provided we will give them a large share of th offices. The poputUt oartv was bora with a mission which is as snored as human liberty itself. It bus given out to the- world its platform of oriucinles and its conquering hosts are rallying uncb-r its Banner in every state In the union. Tha bouest yearning of the country from every party, creed and color are falling Into the ranks of progress and n fori.i, demanding industrial freedom Irum th corporation depotitm and tyrrany that nas neen saaoiea upon the neck of labor through the agencies of the democratic and republican parties. It ha. nn tim and no disposition to stop the proces sion to dicker with tbe democrats or any other party for tho revenues of ai offloc. Our platforms are broad ami nm- doors are wid open. Let democrats and all others who believe we r riirhe ' cut loose from their former parties and burn the bridge behind theni so that they can not gt back but go for ant t victory. Yours truly. .
