OHIO GETS A
GOVERNOR POYNTER
Bia right Against the Foulest Scheme
Brer Introduced Into Congress Ap-'
predated In Oregon
( The following letter was received the
, tether day by Governor Poynter: - - -
.Governor Poynter, Lincoln, Nebraska,
,1 - Dear Sir: It is with great pleasure
that th people of this part of the state
of Oregon note in the St Louis Repub
lic of February 5th a statement to the
-, effect that your Honor, Governor
. Poynter of Nebraska, is about to take
steps to combat a scheme which if suc-
cessful will put all of our public domain
yet vacant under - the - control of great
corporations, who would, in conjunction
with the great meat combine of Chicago
and other cities form one of the most
harmful and far-reaching trusts in exist
ence, namely, the great live stock trust
of the weet-i Itj would - also . give them
control of the hide" and wool market of
Ihci country: No "matter , how a please
loan would be 'framed; it' would "drive
'very individual stock raiser out of - the
business, bring ruin and.desolation to
thousands upon thousands of happy and
prosperous people and turn large sec-
tions of the western states now thickly
; populated, into a stock, raising . country
and vast cattle and sheep camps, school
houses, churches, roads and comfortable
homesteads, vwould . disappear. Insur
rection and riots would be sure to follow,
what would be virtually confiscation of
; the savings of a lifetime of most of us
people and the wiping out of all pros
ypects towards making an honorable and
mdepenpent livelihood for our children
, hereafter. ; No one but large : corpora
. tions could lease the public domain for
. .the following reasons.
1st a corporation would lease such a
"large 'area of land that it would not have
i to fence at all whereas a small lessee
would have to fence his holdings, which
would cost him here about 1.00 per rod
which would be more than the Use of
the land would be worth to him,
, 2d As the leasing of the public domain
is Jef t entirely, to one man, the secretary
- vt agiivuivuiv, a iuui uiau nuuiu uato wj
t show whatever. - It would all be done at
f Washington at-the dictation of corpora
- .tions. i . . , , ... . . ...
. . .3d: .A large corporation... would only
. ". lease the best parts of the grazing, lands
here and there which would give them
control of immense tracts of land with
out paying anything for it, whereas a
: poor, man would have to pay for every
acre of his small lease and would have
. to fence it besides or the large holder
. would eat him out.
. There is so much of our range coun
. try so dry and so little grass growing on
it that it takes a great amount of land
to support a comparatively small num-
ber of stock Besides of all the bills so
far being put forward, there is not one
that even thinks- of making any provis
v ions fs' to protect the small farmer.
;sThey don't even propose to give the peo
pie now occupying the open ranges any
time at all to dispose of their stock but
provides a fine of $500 or six months im
, prisonment pr. Jboth for any . one having
stock on the range after it is once leased.
That is protection for the poor man!
It ,Virtually puts all of our property both
real estate and live stock at the mercy
of those concerns who in the judgment
of our all wise and infallible secretary
of agriculture will be entitled to lease
the public grazing lands and we would be
compelled to sell to them at whatever
price they saw fit to pay us for it, which
would not be much.
They would rob the people out of
millions of money much more than the
government would ever realize from the
leasing of the public domain. Of course
our ranches would be valueless for they
are of no use without the free use of the
public grazing lands adjacent. They
even have the "gall" to provide that one
half, of the moftey derived from the leas
ing of the public domain shall be ex
pended for their benefit in building res
ervoirs and ditches to furnish water for
their stock. So really, the government
would not be benefitted much by the
leasing of the land. But thousands of
prosperous people and happy homes
would be wiped out." Besides once the
lands are leased it would put a stop to
' all further settlement of our western
.: states, and there are thousands upon
: 'thousands of good homes to be taken up
f yet where an industrious family can
i make a .comfortable and independent
living provided they can have the free
t use of the adjacent land to graze their
. live stock on. Many places are taken
c up now every day as the records of our
v local land office will attest, for people
. are beginning to be satisfied with smaller
farms than formerly. People then would
t be compelled to buy land from the rail
l road company and other land robbers
who ire also behind this robbing scheme
-to lease the public domain, thereby take
all of the tillable land out of the. market
1 under our land laws which would mean

better prices for their land stolen from
the people. - It would also give the trust
control of the , great corn belt of the
middle west, for the feeder would be
compelled to buy his feeders so essen
tial to turning his great corn crops into
cash from the live stock trust at their
price or sell his corn to them at their
price.. There is not.a redeeming clause
in any of the bills yet brought forward
looking at it from the poor man's stand
point all are drawn in favor of putting
our public domain under control of great
corporations. Much more could be said
in condemnation of this monstrous
scheme to rob the people of the west of
their rightful inheritance. But I will
not intrude upon your valuable time any
longer but will say in conclusion that
the people of this section are very thank
ful to you for the interest you are taking
in behalf of the poor people of the far
western range states. It is- very grati
fying to our people to know that there are
still honest men. in high offices who are
honest and brave , enough to champion
the cause of .the common people as
against" robbing? corporations and we
hope that you may be successful in de
feating this, one of the most barefaced
attempts 'to 'steal enough land
f ronr" the,-Americ&n"pe0plev to build
a great empire, - I am speaking from the
standpoint of one who has been engaged
in raising live stock on the open range

thing about' it' -"'..''

SOUND SUGGESTIONS
Tactical Suggestion Regarding the Com
ing Political Fight by a Nebraska
farmer. - : -
. Editor Independent: As the
tWioter
evenings are getting shorter, the political
campaign of 1900 closer, it may not be
amiss for the people who favor , reform,
and good government to look over the
situation, and see what can and may be.
done to gain some of the measures that
we wish. One of the most important
this year will be the election of United
States senators for the people of Ne
braska, for there will be two to elect.
As there is no hope for some years to
come that the constitution will be
amended so that the people can elect
United States senators direct, we have
been thinking of different ways by
which the people could have a chance to
say who the state legislature" shall , elect.
One way has been. talked about and that
is this: At the precinct primaries, have
the delegtes to the conventions instructed
as to their choice for.United States sena
tors, and at the convention the two who
have the largest number and second
largest number of votes (this year), their
names are then to appear on the official
ballot as candidates for United States
senate; and then the party who will be
in majority at the. legislature . would be
morally bound ; to elect .the. candidates

who were thexpeople's choice. Of course
I don't, think the G O. P leaders could
be induced to do likewise, but that
would make no difference to us, it would
make : our ticket more complete if they
did not, and on the other hand if they
would, all people then could see who the
men are that the people want for sena
tors. ;. '
I- also -think- that two -yearn ago if
Hon. Wm. V. Allen's name had been on
the ticket for reelection in case the
party carried the majority in state legis
lature, he would undoubtedly have at
tracted the attention of enough G j O. P.
voters to secure the legislature for him.
The plan I - have just tried to .outline
here would be like presidential electors
and party is successful, v" yfr- -
V Another reform I think of even greater
importance to us farmers all over the
country is the" transportation question,
for " I think - it has become plain to all
whd are interested, that interstate com
missions and state boards Y of . . transpor ;
tatioa are powerless to fulfill that which
they were created for. I think the time
has come for the reformers to demand in
the next fusion national platforms I the
government ownership of- some , (if not
all) leadnig railroads, telegraph and tel
ephone lines in United States. We far
mers, laboring1 people and" others are
compelled to help build a navy for ; the
benefit of commerce on the seas.- Why
not at the same time make ur govern
ment recognize the transportation facili
ties on the land. If it is necessary for
Uncle Sam to have a navy with which to
transport, protect and defend commerce
on the seas, I believe it to be equally
right that he should be equipped on the
land likewise, and if the "money which
is now spent in carrying on the war of
civilization for the happiness of the Phil
ipp'nos.were expended here at home in
purchasing a few railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines and operate same, he
(Uncle Sam) would carry more joy and
more happiness to a more grateful peo
pie. But some good G. O. P. friends
will say if the government owned the
railroads, and a political party ever got
well in power, nothing could ever re
move the party from power, for so many
employees would vote for that party in
power, to hold their jobs. ' This ; may be
true, and may hot be true. No one can
tell, for the government operates the
postal system with employes and gives
satisfaction to the people by , charging
them all alike for the service. As far as
I'm concerned, I wouldn't care whether
the populists, or the republicans, or
democrats or prohibitionists ran or oper
ated said railroads as long as, I and
everybody got good service and equitable
rates to all, and for all, no more than a if
a democratic postmaster general, repub
lican or -populist were at the head of -the
postal service; ' i .ij.i-&. :.!-. ;

I don't see how there can be more than
two parties in this war-, I should say of
a person who; called r himself neviteral,
that he either had no soul or was a liar.
A man that cannot support the war; for
the union must be a rebel in soul if j not
in body. " War democrats, copperheads
and rebels are all of the same family, I
can see no difference."
Now this lettler was printed by the
British State Journal Company of Lin
coin. Nebraska, in 188G.
I am glad that there were a few demo
crats in the war who were true to the
JJeclaration or independence, auca as
W. T. Sherman, U. S. Grant, John A
Logan, and lots more, that , could : .be
named. " These fellows, like, Mark Uanna,
think that everybody that is opposed to
imperialism are . traitors. ; - The a only
traitors we have today are the r imperial
ists. These are the fellows that want to
stamp out the Declaration of Inde
pendence and surrender -to the British
gold 7 bugs, such - as- me and Mark, and
the money bags of Wall street and Lorn
bard street. Now if war democrats were
rebels, as the Journal published in this
book, the half of that great army were
rebels, for all of our best generals were
democrats. - ; -

Wednesday evening A was : 'devoted ' to
"blindfold", playing.-1 There were twelve
boards . of . chess and j two . of checkers.
The champion won both games of check
ers and ten games of, chess, losing one
game of chess and drawing one, without
seeing, the boards. When it is Consider
ed that Mr.; Pillsbury played all fourteen
games at the 'K same ' time, and ' that he
never ('made(? a- mistake in calling his
taoves, the value of chess as a discipline
forf the : mind will be apparent. A few
who know no.be tter regard Mr. Pillsbury
as a ?'freak," something after-, the. order
of certain mathematical freaks, but this
is a mistake. He is an unusually bright
young man, about 28 years of age, able
to take part in discussion of the impor
tant topics of the day a man who could
succeed in almost any professional line.
He has a trained memory, cultivated in
great measure by. playing chess. He
can by his will power instantly dismiss
one subject from his mind and take up
apother and concentrate all his - mental
power on that pne subject for the , time
being; then it can be dismissed just t as
quickly and another taken up.
P. J;Barron,Lincoln,def ended a queen's
gambit declined so skillfully that on the
17th move Mn Pillsbury offered to call the
game a draw, which Mr.: Barron : refused
10 ap. un tne-ozna move riarron won
a pawn which decided -the putepme of
the game, s?ore of which we give this
week. W. E. Hardy of , Lincoln lost a
clear piece early in "his game, but de
fended with such skill as to force a
drawn frame
The Nebraska Chess Association made
an excellent showing at the Pillsbury ex
hibitions. Ten of its omembers played
the first night, winning one game, draw
ipg four and losing five.; On the second
night the only game won was by a mem
ber of the association, All of which
shows that correspondence play is of con
siderable benefit in learning to . play
good chess; u v ' ,

- . J have never before ia my 35 years of practice of medicine given my testimonial or recom
mendation to any patent medicine bu there is a remedy, the result of which has conie under my
own observation ; for there is no Disease which has so baffled the medical 6kill of all ages as
Rheumatism and to find -a Reliable remedy for the same. At last we have found it in
5 DROPS, manufactured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, Chicago, 111.
iv. The ,5 drops," has proven itself wonderful for its curative power In Rheumatism, not

patients the verv best Remedies which I skillfully selected, but without desirable results. I then
heard of "6 DROPS" and of its Wonderful
found relief from its use within a few days. After
ur
rprise, I will say that in the course of Two or
an
a "a JOroD" Piasters they were Cured.
5 Drop" Plasters they were Cured. ,
Amoncr these were a few who had. for a
Rheumatism, who had piloted themselves around on Crutches. They came to my office with
out Crutches and told me they were perfectly Well. They give all the credit to ' 5 DROPS
and to "S Drop" Plasters and this is their testimony to the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Com
pany for their kindness and for the conscientious way in which they are placing these Wonder
ful Remedies among suffering humanity, which they told me to write to the Company as an
'acknowledgement.- -v. r- , .;-r . , .,-; . .
' As 1 have seen the Curative Power of "8 DROPS" and "5 Drop" Plasters, in a great
,many instances, I can Truly recommend them and also that the firm is perfectly honest and re
liable to deal with. C. A. JACKSON, Physician and Surgeon, Kearney Neb., Aug. 29, 1899.
