Comments of Men and Papers on the
Special Session.
The special to the lice of Saturday
evening says:
"For tLe past two weeks Governor Thayer
has been besieged by certain politicians who
train with the. railroad people, the most prom
inent among wborn was Church Howe, to
convene the legislature in special session for i
the purpose of passing railroad regulation1
bills and some other legislation which is iust
now being agitated and called for by auti-ino- j
noKlits. Incidentally, and way down deep,
it is suspected that Church Howe lias a
scheme on ha.d to divide the congressional.'
districts this fall so as to cut off Douglas
county and leave him a chance of making the
run. This of course has been kept in the
background, but knowing politicians here
predict that it will be sprung through a sup
plementary message."
Gov. Thayer, in an interview, says:
"I expect a due deference to the voice of
the people this time. The Australian system
seems to meet the approbation of the anti
monopoly republicans, the Alliance men, the
horny handed members of the Knights of
Labor and everybody else, who has seriously
considered the matter. If it is a good thingf
why not adopt it at once and enjoy its bench
cent results in the coming election."
Good for the governor.
G. M. Lambertson says:
"I am surprised at the action of Governor
Thayer in calling a session of the legislature,
and hardly sec the necessity for it. I am in
clined to think that the result will prove
unsatisfactory. The consideration of a
maximum freight bill and the abolition of the
board of transportation are questions of great
moment to the state, but I doubt the advisa
bility of both measures and such action
should or.ly be taken alter the most careful
deliberation.
I fear that when the session is over the dis
content will be as wide as ever. The legisla
ture, in my opinion, should not urge upon
congress the free and unlimited coinageof
silver until silver is brought nearer a par
with gold."
That last remark is profoundly Avise.
It reminds us of the anxious . mother
Avho told her darling never to go near
the Avater until he knew how to swim.
Judge Cobb Avould give no opinion as
to its policy, but was greatly-surprised
at the call.
A. E. Hargraves said:
'It is purely political buncombe on the part
.of the state house officials. There is nothing
to be gained by caliing the legislature togeth
er, and nothing will be accomplished beyond
making just so much additional expense for
the people Maximum freight rate laws are a
farce as any practical business man knows.
The less freight rates are monkeyed with by
the legislature the better it will be for the
state and the people."
Senator I. M. Raymond said:
"I think the governor has made a'mistake
in calling a special session of the legislature
at this time. It is only a matter of six months
until the regular session convenes, and there
is no business of such urgent importance as
to make necessary a special session or noth
ing In the call that might not properly come
before the session of lHflO-91. Moreover it is a
great fn justice to the people to make them
this extra and uncalled for expense."
He was opposed to a maximum freight
law, but favored the Australian ballot
S3stem.
Judge O. P. Mason 'strenuously op
poses a maximum freight law, quoting
law, precedent and doggerel against it.
He also threatens a dire calamity on
the people of this state if things do not
change for the better spon, viz: he Avill
run for governor himself.
' II. II. Oakley Avas "utterly astounded
it the governor's action."
I "Fixed rates," said he, "would be disastrous
f to the local interests of Lincoln as well as to
4 the local interests of every other point in the
7 state. Every city having local industries will
be almost ruined."
With- a lot more of slush of the same
sort. J'idelicit:
"So far as I can learn there is little or no
complaint or agitation on the part of the
farmers and consumers. The politicians are
availing themselves of a certain prejudice
they feel exists against certain corporations
to raise a cry of unjust rates and discrimina
tion so a3 to take advantage of this preju
dice." The Railroad Journal says, (and this is
the unkindest cut of all:)
x. "The sentiment of a majority seems to be
that the session will be a useless, expensive
and troublesome piece f business for the
state."
The Sunday Morning Call, in a column
of double-leaded, discusses the subject
ably in its various bearings, its general
idea being that the extra session was
needless at this late day.
The Omaha World-Herald heartily
commends the special session. Young
Mr. Hitchcock thinks the governor took
his cue from his editorials, and of
course deems him Avise and sagacious.
The Republican says:
"It is doubtful if the calling of this session
will serve the purposes for which the gov
ernor has intended it. The time will be too
short and the views of the members so un
settled that it is quite Improbable that a sat
isfactory bill can be agreed upon."
, The Bee of Monday says editorially:
"The people of Nebraska will naturally ask,
has an emergency arisen that would justify
the governor in exercising this prerogative?
The only answer Governor Thayer would
make is that in his judgment the emergency
is imperative. How or by what method of
reasoning Governor Thayer has reached this
conclusion the Bee is at a loss to divine,
AVith the exception of a paper that has pan
deredto the sensational and played the politi
cat clown to attract attention, a paper that
moreover is inimical to Governor Thaver
personally and politically, nobody that claims
t: speak for any considerable number of citi
zens has ventured to advocate an extra ses
sion of the legislature.
We fear that the governor has made a very
serious mistake. We doubt very much
whether the legislature Avill be able to formu
late a carefully matured maximum rate bill
at a ppeeial session that, must necessarily be
limited. We doubt whether the benefit which
ithe producers may derive from the' iasasre
of such a bill at this time of -the. year will
offset the expense which the session will in
volve. It may bo safely predicted that the
railroads will exert all their ingenuity and
influence to make the maximum rate law ot
noxiou within the next few months so a to
bring pressure upon the next legielaturt for
its repeal;"
'Do figs prow from thistles?" This is what
the Bee asked when the extra, session was
first suggested, or rather demanded, by the
bloviating soap-bubble, for which Church
Howe has beeu acting as guide, philosopher,
friend and promptor. And the Dee again re
peats, "Do figs grow from thistles?" What
may we expect from a legislature galvanized
into life by a proclamation to do now what it
neglected to do during the regular session?"
"Bloviating soap-bubble"is good. It
means the Omaha World-Herald Does
Church Howe run that, too? He is
about as multifarious a man as, Ave
know.
Brother Beecher of New York Greets the
People's Independent Movement.
Syracuse, N. Y. May 21, 1800.
Kditok Farmers' Alliance-. I send
greeting to the People's Independent
Party, child of the people's necessities,
born on the free'praries, nursed by lov
ers of liberty, cared for by men ichodare.
Its coming cheers the despairing,
strengthens the weak, and gives hope to
the Aveary reformers. It casts the shad
tloAv of defeat over the tents of monopo
ly, and rouses the venom of the "Mon
ey Changers.'
The double track road to perdition,
traveled by the demo republican party,
ballasted with broken pledges, and
managed by demagogues and million
aries, is strewn with wrecked homes,
deserted hearth-stones, bankruptcies,
and suicide's graves.The people of one
young sister state, Nebraska, have set
the stakes for a New People's Line,
whose terminus is the White House.
Balasted by just principles, and man
aged by true representatives of those
who hare heretofore mistakenly made
millionaires the inevitable outgrowth of
sham democracy and bogus republi
canism; but all are henceforth deter
mined to secure to every werthy citizen
equal opportunity for equal intelligence.,
ability, industry and economy.
In conclusion I Avould Avarnthe mem
bers of the new party against the dan
ger of fusion. Instantly brand every
one Avho whispers fusion to himself, in
his dreams at night, as a fool by birth
right and force of habit, as a paid emis
sary of one of those twin tools ox mo
nopoly old sectional parties

Alliance Shipments of Live Stock.
Instructions from the Stock Agent.
Editor Alliance: The American
Live Stock (Jommission company is a
co-operative association Avhereby the
OAvner and shipper sell their OAvn stock
as nearly as possible under the present
condition of things pertaining to the
sale of live stock. The change to this
company AA'as made for two reasons:
1st to get better terms; 2d to aggregate
and control the largest amount of stock
for sale Avhile in the hands of the owner
and shipper.
When the owners of one-third or one
half of the stock will consign them to
our control the buyers will no longer be
able to dictate the price, but the seller
will have a word to say. All Alliance
men should ship to one company if pos
sible. Where several OAvners desire to
make up a car load, when you can
Aveigh the stock at home and divide the
proceeds according to home Aveight, do
so. When not convenient to Aveisrh at
home they Avill be weighed in lots here.

Spirit o
Shadron AdVocatC.
A call for a People's Independent
State Convenlioa has been sent out j
from the Alliance headquarters in Lin
coln, and will be circulated for signa-!
tures in every county in the state. It
asks the state secretary of the Farmers'
Alliance and the state secretary of the
Knights of Labor to select two men who
shall fix a ratio of representation and
issue the call for said convention. This
will no doubt be a disapointment to a
good many industrious fellows who
haA-e been running the Alliance move
ment from the outside.
Howells Journal.
"Attorney General Leese has made
the same mistake many other men in
the republican party have. He thinks
that he can reform the republican party
and make it a part y of the people. When
the next" republican state convention
meets Mr. Leese Avill meet his political
death. Like Jndsce Reese he will dis
cover that John M. Thurston and a few
other railroad hirelings are the republi
can party of Nebraska. The idea of re-
orming a party that is under such lead
ership is extremely rediculous to say
the least."
Blaine Co. News.
The Alliance has already done a great
thing. It has stimulated a number of
senators and congressmen to inquire in
to the financial depression and frame
ills that will at least partly relieve
them. It also acts as a standing: menace
to politicians Avhose desire for ol'iice is
not to serve the people but their own
ockets.
Tecumseh Republican.
The official organ of, the Nebraska
farmers' Alliance says editorially in so
many words, that a people's state con

antics of the old time party boodlers.
and note the awf ul stillness of the
straight (railroad) republican organs.
Home Rule.
From now until the first Tuesday in
November the Alliance AA'ill be "coaxed
and petted" by all the riugsters far and
near. Gentlemen farmers, for once let
them know that you are capable of doing
your own thinking and voting. In short
tell them to be "gitting." .
Scline Co. Democrat,
The widely advertised conference of
so-called anti-monopoly republicans
headed by Leese, Keckley, Sutherland
3fe Co. Avas held at Lincoln Tuesday and
was, as everybody Avho is Avell posted in
state politics expected, a roaring farce.
it amounted to nothing but Aviud. Ihe
tug of war Avill come later on. Goa--
ernor Todd of Cass county, expressed
the sentiments of the Avhole body When
he admitted that he AAras not a very good
republican, but had become interested
anu joined the meeting. He Avas par
ticularly emphatic in the assertion that
the people Avould live even if the repub
lican party -died, aud it Avas easy to see
that he for one, would not shed many
tears if the old party did die.
, AVahoo Democrat.
The anti-monopoly conA-ention at j
Lincoln ; on last Tuesday, has served
the purpose of agitating A'ery
seA-erely the "dominant party." Lead- ;
ing republican organs ridicule the little j
band ot one hundred or less who signed
the conA'ention pledge and. helped to
vicAv Avith alarm the rottenness of the
grand old party. They are given- the
horselaugh and hoodooed, but at,. the
same time the fact of that convention is
a startling reality and menace to the
republican party of this state, and that
fact is illy concealed by the leAity of
certain party papers. It at least indi
cates a strong element of discord in the
party and the utter hopelessness Avith
Avhich some mer.bers A'iew the porspect
of reform along the old lines Avithin the
party ranks. It Avas a Airtuous admis
sion that the republican party of Nebras
ka is controlled by corporations.
Souix City Journal.
The republicans of Nebraska , have a
considerable job before them if they
succeed in uniting the party in the elec
tion in that state this year.
Ihe farmers of Nebraska are tired of
corporate dictation. If the old parties
cannot diA'orce themseh'es from rail
road control, the farmers will diA-orce
themselves from the parties. They de
mand railroad legislation in that state
as radical and effective as the legislation
that has been provided in this state; and
they AA-ant officers of the state as loyal
to the interests of the people in this re
gard as Gov. Larrabee proA ed himself
to be, and as a majority of the Iowa
board of railroad commissioners are.
Lincoln Herald.
That mortgages are a sign of prosper
ity is proven by the Falls City Xeics,
Avhich has fifteen sheriff sales and one
notice of foreclosure of mortgage. The
prosperity is the editor's, however, and
doesn't pertain to the men Avho gave
the mortgages. In fact the editor is so
prosperous that he gets out a supple
ment ev ery Aveek. The spring crop of
sheriff sales is the biggest ever knoAvn
in the state.
The Farmers1 T'oice, of Chicago, pub
lishes the declaration, gives its promo
ters gefbd words, and Avishes the move
ment God-speed.
The Phelps county Herald publishes
the declaration,' and endorses it in a
vigerous editorial. It says:
"The independent movement is not
inaugurated to redress imaginary
Avrongs, nor to cure imaginary ills, but
to fight real evils, Avhich have had their
origin and derived their main support
from corrupt politicians. The people
have asked relief through pai'ty agen
cies,, but a deaf ear has been turned
to all their entreaties. It is now time
for them to take the matter in their
own hands, declare their independence
and show the politicians to seats by the
door." ,- .
The Alliance Motor, of Broken Bow,
endorses the movement, and sa3Ts:
"Let .every man into whose, hands
these petitions fall do his duty. One of
the most momentous struggles in the
historjfcof the political affairs of any
state is beiore us. Lanes ot disagree
ment and misunderstanding are obliter
ated, and we are agreed upon the
course. .

patriotic forces who AA'ill retake the
Union, and restore the goA-ernment to
the people for whom it was originally
1 ,
uiaiuuieu.
The Kearney Enterprise says:
"The Alliance is a colossal fact in the
politics of Nebraska at this time. It
stands as a prmest against the recent
record of the republican party, and as
a menace to its future. It is profoundly
determined to attain this vear the re
forms at which it aims, those at leas
that can be compassed by state legisla
tion and administration. It has the
power to attain them, and it aviII do so
through the republican party, or over
its prostrate body."

currency to the amount double the
present circulation, and that the gov

That in our belief the farmers of this
state Avho are in the majority will never
be fairly represented in our govern

men selected from among the farmers
themselves. Each industry must look

Secbind, That said Breekenridge &
Breekenridge having virtually admitted
the falsity of said affidavits, charging
local prejudices, and that the sole ob
ject ot removing cases to the federal
courts is to obtain attorey's fees from
the unfortunate mortgagar, Ave confi
dently look to the supreme court to
protect the people from these outrages
by disbaring attorneys who. have so lit
tle regard for truth and justice as to
make such infamous affidavits.
Third, We appeal to our senators and
representatives in congress to do all in
their power to secure the enactment of
laws that will make it impossible for
disrenutable attorneys to fraudulently
secure the removal of cases from the
state to the federal courts.
