Independent pa pers are springing up in every direction. The Plainview Independent of January 9 gives its town a good write up, which ought to be appreciated by its citizens. The subordinate Alliances of Walker township Platte county, have organized a township Alliance says the Platte Center Argus. Blair Republican: "The farmers in the neighborhood of Craig are discuss ing the feasibility of putting in a flour mill at that town." Anselmo Stfi: "The south, room of the school building has been furnished by the Alliance, and is now being used by that organization as a lodge room. The Bartley Enterprise trots out its . choicest rooster to crow over the fact that the people and not the ring is at tending to Nebraska law making this session. Alliance Department, Logan County Star, Gandy: "The boys, the real live, progressive, wide-awake, get-lo-the-, front, thinkers in the Reynolds district ., are organizing an Alliance." The Anselmo (Custer county) Sun of last week says: "The B. & M. has stopped shipping supplies to this coun ty tree. ; The time is just here when such help is nost needed."' Douglas correspondent in Unadilla , Advertiser: "Our Alliance are making arrangements to run their own butcher shop next season and transact such , other co-operative business as they may see tit." : . . Y,- , ... Register, Aurora: Isn't it funny to see how the democrats and republicans love one another? Isu't it funnier to ' see how the old parties are violating law and at the same time yelling, V Re spect the Precedent." The Loup City Northwestern now an nounces itself the only republican paper in Sherman county, the Times having thrown off the mantle of republicanism and joined the ranks of the Indepen dents in the struggle for justice and equality. . Y Y Danbury correspondence in Enter prise, Bartley, Red Willow county: "The Alliance meets Saturday night at the Henton school house. Has literary work attached to it which brings out large crowds and makes it quite inter '' esting." ." ,:.,---.,yvy- Hamilton County Register: Ah alien governor would be a suitable represent ative for the unfair and un-American methods adopted in Omaha on election day, If Omaha is the state of Nebraska, then let Boyd be governor. It would be ! eminently suitable. : The Platte Center Argus publishes a detailed account of the unjust manner in which Marks Bros, of Omaha, saddle and harness manufacturers, have deal ings with their employes. The matter having been considered at a special meeting of the Platte county Alliance. Neligh Tribune: Is n't it a farce to de clare a man governor whose 'eligibiHiy and election are both in doubt? Seat him first and then go to work to ascer tain if you have the right man? If the codstitution makes this imperative, then a school boy could make a better constitution. The Hamilton county Register tells of one just judge: "Judge Morris an . nounces that he will conlirm sale in no foreclosure cases where it is shown that crop failure was a cause of non-pay-' ' meut. He says there may be no law for ' such a course, but there is no law against it and he proposes to take it." Atkinson Enterprise: Anything to - beat the Alliance. There is a strong likelihood of a fusion of republicans and democrats in the state legislature this winter. In aute-election days both the old parties were deeply in sympathy with the Alliance. Now they unite their forces to defeat it. Indeed ic now trans pires that the republican machinery in Douglas county was used to further Uoyd s chances of election. Aurora Register: "At Blue Hill last week, an own aunt of John Jacob Astor was laid to rest in their cemetery, dying in comparative poverty. Blue Hill is rather a noted Nebraska town. A niece of Andrew Jackson, though . getting aged, takes in washing there, and Ed. Hilton, a merchant and the present postmaster, is a nephew of Judge Hilton who managed to absorb the widow and most of the J. T. Stewart estate.",. The Atkinson Enterprise is just one year old and is a good healthy yearling, with cunning eye and ready tongue to express what it sees: The desperate attempts of the State Journal to preju- Hino thA mihliA AtTAinst. . thfl .A11i'inrn v t" " "" O ....

I . 1 1 I l uy urgiug me seating oi uoyu uy iurce, rgardless of what the contest develops. Publishers Bedford and Miller have removed their Standard from Welllleet to Maywood (Frontier county) and serves tne lollowln? notice on the peo pie of that community: "The columns ot tne standard are open for the aumis sion of any matter that will be of inter est to all memoers, and if any so desire, for the publication of all resolutions that may be passed for the good of the people. This invitation is extended to every Alliance in Frontier, Hayes or Lincoln counties, and we earnestly trust all the members will feel perfectly at home in complying with our wish to maite tnis paper a champion oi wnat it Deneves to be a just cause. New Era. Wahoo. Sanndera count v: To see Hall, of Hall, our own and only ha ward, so long and long ago the "de fender of the faith" in this connty join hands with Church Howe and the rail road gang to do up the people, on the floor of the house of representatives is a soul-inspiring sight. It inspires one to say, never again may i. ue tempteu to vote for a good man. or one whom I be lieve to be (rood, while his name is on a demo-republican ticket." The Waboo New Era. one of the brightest and best local papers of the state speaks thus encouragingly of the Alliance, and is awake to the necessity of there being issued a daily paper from tho capital in the interest of those who have so long toiled and fed on husks that idleness and chicanery might feast and fatten: the alliance has en larged to double its former size and is tilling its place as the official organ of the Nebraska State Alliance admirably. It has also raised its subscription price to $1.25, it ought, however, to be $1.50. This paper would like to see the Alli ance blossom out into a neat little daily. Y The Calliope. Albion, Boone county. fully understands the game of treachery played by the enemy: II tne corres pondents of the several papers see two street urchins quarreling over a cigar stump which was thrown away last year by legislators who nave gone nence never to return, they ran frantically to the telegraph office and wire their pa per a long story how " Dictator Bur sows," as they call him, is being "sot" down upon by the best of the Alliance members and there is a big quarrel in the ranks of the people's legislators. That is all and nothing more. And yet while they are doing this the Alliance members are quietly minding their own business, Burrows is doing the same, and everything js working in harmony in the people s camp. Bill's Nomination. Albany, N. Y.. Jao. 20. The Demo cratic joint caucus to nominate a United States , senator was called tc order in the assembly chamber shortly after 5. Nominations being in order, Speaker Sheen an said: '-The Demo cratic party proposes to signalizj - the great victory of November last by nomination for senator in congress of a leader of genius and courage, a states man of breadth and capacity, a man who more than any other contributed to Democratic supremacy. When 'vic tory seemed impossible, when de feat stared us in the face, there was one voice above all others that penetrated the heart of the Ameri can people, one who stood in the front of the battle, heedless of personal or political con8equencss,encooraging with his presence and convincing with his eloquent ' tongue the electorate of onr land. It is only by rewarding men who battle for Democratic principles in darkness as well as in sunshine, that our party deserves to succeed." Atter other speeches Mr. Sheehan moved Governor Hill's nomination by acclamation, which was carried and the caucus adjourned. The Republicans nominated Senator Evarts, also unanimously. v The Demo-, crats have exactly enough members to elect. . Farorable to Hamilton. Springfield, Ills., Jan. 20. The house elections committee read the affi davits in the Butzow-Hamilton contest ed election case for three hours. They were generally favorable to Hamilton, the Republican incumbent, and upon the evidence presented thus far even the Democrats confess that the attack against Hamilton's right to the seat is without foundation.

TARIFF COMSSIOH. r Senator Paddock Bill to Be Consid ered by the Finance Committer THE MEASURE'S PROVISIONS And Frospeets for Its Adoptloa by the Senate Ko Appropriatioa for Nebraska Sufferers The Seigniorage Case la the Supreme Court Congressional. Washington, Jan. 20. Senator Pad dock said that his bill creating a per manent tariff commissioner would be considered by the senate committee this week. He believes the measure will receive favorable . action by the senate at an early day. He could . find little objection to the prin cipal involved or . the mode pro posed for their recognition. The bill provides for a commission of five men, sot more than three of whom shall be appointed from the same political party, each to be paid a salary of $7,000 a year. The commission will have headquarters in Washington, but shall look into the operation of the tariff law in .the various sections of the country and report annually to con gress with recommendations as to the changes needed in the tariff law. The intention is to give congress fresh non partisan information relative to the operations of the tariff law and what is needed to make it more satisfactory, Of course the conclusions would in a degree be conferred by its partisan ma juiity, but for that reason it is regarded very favorably by the minority. The reports of tue commission would be bated on practical and material evi dence. It would, it is believed, be a breakwater between the cxtremo and wide views of the two leadiug political parties. Nebraska Sufferers. Washington, Jan "20. Mr. Dorsey was before the house committee on agriculture and made an argument in favor tif his bill giving $250,000 to the drought sufferers in Nebrasca and those who lett their hoinei on account of In dian troubles: The committee declined to put it in the regular appropriation bill, as it would be stricken out iu the house on a point of order. Mr. Dorsey was asked to cite a precedent and for that purposs the proposition was refer red to a snb-committoe. Some mem bers of the committee said the state of Nebraska should taue care of its unfor tunate settlers, but Mr. Dorsey re minded them that tne majority of these sufferers had also suffered by the recent Indian raids, and tne federal govern ment is surely responsible for its wards and their acts. Mr. Dorsey says he will carry his battle for his bill to the floor of the honsa, but there are little hopes of success on account of the gen eral feeling against paternalism on the part of the federal government. . Congressional Washington, Jan. 20. Most of the session of the house was taken up by political speeches and assaults upon the speaker by the Democrats for past rul ings. Only one bill of minor import ance was passed, and at f:2U the house adjourned. In the senate an hour and a half was consumed discussing a point of order raised by Senator Gorman, taking issue with the vice president's ruling last Friday, to the effect that an appeal from a decision of the chair on a non-dt batable question was itself not debatable. The matter was finally dropped and after the introduction of a number of bills, the elections bill was taken up and Senator George addressed the senate in opposition to the bill. Without finishing his speech the senate at 6 o'clock adjourned. , Dressed Beef Decision.' Washington, Jan. 20.

ONE OF JAY GOULD'S TRICKS The Hutchinson and Sontbsrn Deal a Good One for tha "Wlasrd" Anti-Pass Association Dlssolred More Tronbla Brewing- Over Paasonger Bates. Chicaoo, Jan. 20. Preadent Per kins of the Burlington, Hughitt of the Northwestern, and Gonli of the Mii souri Pacific have been appointed a committee to try to induce the Alton people and the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City to join the new Western Traffic association. The mission, so far, has been in vain, and it it believed will be. It is known that the Rock Island and Northwestern would not have gone into the association orig inally hal they not been bound by the preliminary, agreement before Gould secured control of the Union Pacific. It would have bee :i no surprise to Chicago railroad men if either or both of these lines withdrew. The salaries of the officers have been arranged as follows: Chairman Walker, $12,000 a year, and Commissioners Midgely, Fauhorn ,' Ficley. Smith and Vinimr $10,003 each, ttnould any of them be irettiuk more tha i this at pres ent the difference is to bo male up by the lines now paying tno larger salar ies. Thn, tne interstate commerce railway association lines must make up an additional expense of $13,000 for Chairman Walker; the western freight $2,00J for Mr. Midgely dud the tooth western railway and steamship com pany $5,000 for Mr. Fail horn. Chain man Fiuley is now getting $10,000 and the salary will be advanced for Com mitteemen Smith and Vining. One of Gtwild's Tricks. Chicago, Jan iO. The Railway Press bureau says: It ha just developed that the abrogation of divisions between the Hutchinson and Southern and Rock Island is one of the smoothest trie its, for a small one, ever played by Jay Gould. The Hutchinson and Southern was built on money furnished by the Union Pacific at tha solicitation' of President Chrystie. The line runs south, into the Indian Territory from Hutchinson. A spur of the Union Pa cific runs to McPherson from Saline, between McPherson and Hutchinson, a distance of twenty-seven miles, the lines are connected by the Rock Island. In other words a Union Pacific branch is cut off entirely from the mainline unlesi it makes a trackage contract with the Rock Island. This contract was made, out la?t Friday. It was abrogated by the Union Picific. Ap parently Gould has cut off a valuable feeder, but the milk in the cocoanut is seen when it is learned that what is Gould's Union Pacific loss is Gould's Missouri Pacific train. The Hutchin son and Southern crosses the Missouri Pacific three titles south of Hutchin son, and it might as well be in Pata gonia as far as delivering traffic to the Union Pacific i3 concerned. Passenger Kate Troubles. Chicaoo, Jan. 4. Representatives of the St. Louis lines met in Chairman Finley's office and discussed the unset tled state of passenger rates. Chair man Finley had tested the Chicago market thoroughly and he fouud nine scalpers selling Wabash mileage from Chicago to St. Louis for $0.50, a cut of $1. He also found all scalpers selling tickets reading "over any line between Chicago and tit. Louis" and issued by the Pittsburg aid Western. It waj apparent that the cnt rate on these tickets was taken off the eastern por tion, but the whole tickets from Pitts burg via Chicago to S Louis had bean sold at such a hgure that every scalper in Chicago was selling the St. Louis portion for $0.73. a cit of 75 cents. The Wabash agreed to instruct its con ductors to confiscate all mileage found in illegal bands. Anti-Pass Association Broken. Chicaoo, Jan. 20. The Anti-Pa33 as sociation of the western roads has been practically dissolved. It was formed in December, all the Chicago west bound lines signing the agreement not to give transportation, except in a lew distinctly mentioned exceptions. One after another the roads have fallen from grace until there is hardly one which has not over ana over again broken the agreement The roads which lived up to the agreement were consequently at a disadvantage and gave notice of withdrawal As far as known the Atchison, Hurling ton and Northwestern have withdrawn, their membership. This breaks the associa tion, and lets down tne oars as tar as ever to the giving of free transporta tion. ' Object to the llemovai. , . St. Joseph. Mo., Jan. 20. The mi nority stockholders of the St. Joseph and Grand Island division of the Union Pacific will at onci begin suit to re strain the Union Pacific from removing the general offices from this city to Uinana. - Closed by the sheriff. .; Omaha, Neb., Jan. 20.

Pise RiD9B Agency, & D., Jan. 20. The news of the murder of Few Tails and four of his band and the wounding of his wife has tended to inflame the Indians here. The shooting is universally condemned as a cold-blooded murder. The uneasiness anions the Indians in the morning rather died away in tha afternoon, and Two Strikes came in with thirty of his men and delivered up twenty guns, mostly of an obsolete pattern, tien. Miles nas ordered a a forage ot twenty days longer and will, himself, remain here until every- ' thing ia quieted down. A band of Chejennes will start for Tongue river, permission having been received from Washington, lien. Miles hopes be will ultimately be permitted to separ ate the hostiles and send them to the agencies where they belomr. One of the Indian police discovered the bodies of four dead Indians in the creek near Wounded Knee. One wss a boy, two were girls and the fourth an old squaw. They were evidently victims of the Wounded Knee battle. A meet ing of the commanders of the various detachments of troops was held to de cide upon certain tactical movements, and at the same time the general situa- tion was canvassed. ' . :. Lost at Sea.
