A ROCKY INTERVIEW
WITH RO SE WATER.
HE IS PERFECTLY RECKLESS AS
TO WHAT HE SAYS.
It Is Possible He May Commit Suicide.
The Alliance reporter could not
fain access to the editor of the Bee
, without climbing to the northeast cor
ner of the building and running the
guantlet of half a dozen guards and
door keepers. The editor's den has
windows looking north and east down
Far nam street, and is a very sightly
yrie. It isn't occupied by an eagle,
however.
"Mr. Rose water, will you give me your
views on some matters of interest for
puMit ation in The Alliakce?"
"Yes, I guess so. I've sneaked two
or three interviews out of Burrows. I
guess I can stand one."
"What do you think of the case of
the independents in the contest?"
"They've got a good case a very
good cuse indeed. The fact is, our fel
lows were too danid careless. They
slung railroad mouey around altogether
too liee. Of court-e, we didn't care for
the money. The poople pay that. But
they ought to have been more careful."
' "How many fraudulent votes do you
suppose were cast in Omaha?"
Oh, there's no telling. Lots more
than most people think, though. But
those Lincoln fellows can't get much
proof. That's where we've got 'em."
"Where was the bulk of your election
money raised?"
, "Oh, right here in Omaha. That's
easy enough, y'know. We tax the
soiled doves here. We call it a fine.
It's really a tariff a kind of Bill Mc
Kinley thing or perhaps a sort of high
license, y'know. And it was for Jim
Boyd, y'kuow; all in the family. See?"
"Oh, yes, 1 see. Do you think that
nay of raising money is quite respecta
ble?" "Respectable? What? I don't un
derstand you. Oh yea respectable?
Well, y'see that money comes out of
the men who patronize the saloons in
directly y'sea. Money is money, isn't
it ? Besules. we tapped the railroads.
That's Van Wyckian 'foraging on the
enemy,' y'know. And Jim Boyd prob
ably used a little. And ihe whiskey
trust money to beat prohibition counted
dollar for dollar for Boyd and our com
bine. It was a slick game, sure enough."
"Will the Bee continue right on as
the advocate of anti monopoly, the
ehampiou of the people, and the pet of
the farmers?"
"Oh, ilama the people damn anti
noonopolj damn the farmers. That's
all rot. That game's played out. The
masses are spelled them asses in my
dictionary. I shall stay with the men
that have the money. Boyd's good
enough for me, Howe and Brad
Slaughter are about as good as any of
them, too. I've made it up with Thurs
ton, and expect to with the others."
"I see you advertise for Mr. Dauphin
of New Orleans yet. Isn't that against
the law?"
"Oh, damn the law. Law isn't worth
anything against money in this coun
try." "A good many republicans voted for
Boyd, didn't they?"
Oh, republicans be damd. We're
all Omaha men. I don't let party spoil
any points for me."
"The farmers are getting that way,
too. aren't they?"
"Oh. thev'Jl forget it next year."
"What do you think of the Parnell
O'Shea business?"
"Oh, that's nothincr, All great men
have such peccadilloes. Even my
fiiend, Jim Boyd well, no matter
you needn't print that. I admire fine
women, iyseif. There's now;
but never mind. Of course, we don't
rush into priut with such things."
"Do you think you'll renew your
proposition to consolidate the Bee with
The Alliance?"
"Well no, I guess not. Burrows
seems to be out of sorts with the Bee a
little. Besides, I'm in better shape
now. With Boyd, the whiskey trust, the
railroads, and such republicans asl can
fool. I guess the Bee will worry along
a while yet. True, Hitchcock is a little
thorny, but the combine'll shut him up
before long, y'know."
"Well, what shall I tell Burrows for
you?"
"Just tell him, damn him, that we'll
crush the life out of every business man
who takes part in this contest. If he
think he can keep up a pper against
the B. & M. road, Jim Boyd, and all
my friends, he'll find his mistake. We
can easily poison the minds of the peo
ple affainst him. In fact, lots of alliance
people are distrusting him already.
We'll crush him and all the rest."
"Good day."
"Good day "
AN INDEPENDENT PAPER.
The Lincoln Herald is truly an inde
pendent paper. Its editor, Mr Calhoun,
calls hinfself a democrat, but democracy
has got to suit him or he don't take it.
' Hi manliness on the prohibition ques
tion won the respect of everybody; and
we haven't heard lhat he has been read
out of the party yet on account of it.
For the frank manner in which he
expresses his opinion of this paper we
take off our hat to him. May his shadow
never grow less. Below is what he says:
-'Never in the history of Nebraska
politics was the value and importance
of a sound, reliable and unselfish party
organ so clearly shown as in the cam
paign just closed. The Farmers' Aliance
was the only organ of its party worth
the name. It had no object in view but
success, and it labored with an eye sin
gle to that. So good work was never
done before in this state. The voters
were encouraged and directed with a
skill lhat was admirable, and they list
ened with ad c lity worthy of commend
ation We do not knoAv what the future
may have in s'ore for Mr. Burrows and
his'paper, but if ,ne independent party
intends to continue in business the best
thing it can do is to put up a subscrip
tion list of 35,000 to the Alliance at once."
A GROSS IMPOSITION.
Rosewater publishes a wild screed un
der the title of "A blood-curdling mani
festo," appends the names of part of the
contest committee to if, and pretends it
emanated from that committee. Now
po member of that commit? ee penned it.
It was probably fabricated in the Bee
office. If Mr. Rosewater expects to ac
complish anything by such vile imposi
tions he will be mistaken.

While the farmers' alliance was in
session at Burr last Saturday night,
some miscreant cut and slashed the
harness on thirty-two teams. It was
probably the work of disappointed poli

begun action in the supreme court to
compel the counting of the votes.

Waler A. Woods, Wm. Deering and
others are in the new concern.
Professor Koch, the gentleman who
has paralyzed the reading world with
his invention for the cure of consump
tion, has been knighted by Emperor

readily.

want a trade made quietly, with no one
the wiser but those whose business it is,
call and see him. Money to loan on real

duced by stretching the back by bend
ing backward across a log or fence,

died under peculiar circumstances, ami
an autopsy revealed the fact that death

The New Llndell.
We take pleasure in calling attention
to the Lindell Hotel adv't in this issue.
The Lindell. like The Alliance, has
grown from a small beginning to its
present proportions, wielding 'an in
fluence, with the hotel fraternity as The
AiJLiance does in a political field. The
writer well remembers when nine years
ago the present proprietors took posses
sion of theTownley House consisting of
fifteen guest rooms. Then, as now,
they gave the best accomodations- for
the money of any hotel in the city.
Faithfully attending to business, and j
by strict economy they have now got J
one of the largest and finest hotels in the
state. Owning their own property they !
are still enabled to make better rates
than their competitors with similar ac- j
comodations. They now have the larg-;
est state patronage of any hotel in the
city.
We cordially recommend the .Lindell
to our numerous patrons.
t There are only three lawyers in
the new Kansas legislature.. But it is
surmised that the brains that won the
fight can take care of the state.

The Farmers and Merchants have es

people have explicit confidence not only
in the company's ability, but ready dis
position to deal justly in all things unto
all patrons. The restored value of de
stroyed property is expected, and is the
only very simple reason why owners
seek insurance. The Farmers and Mer
chants of Lincoln, Nebraska, has a reli
able board of undertakers whose special
obligation in the event of destruction,
is sound as national currencv. The sin
gle item, of value returned, as shown in
the above statement for one hundred
and thirty-two animals, lost in an un
equal conflict with lightening and fury
of the wind is sufficiently convincing
proof that every policy is eold lined.
and all sufficient reason for the remark

chants enjoy. 20 tf. '
