Misgovernment in cities, U , the 'peril of the day.' ; Demagogues comDine witn the vicious classes and the moral And Upright are left at their mercy. r - Any influence that will purify city government will tend directly to purify the' politics of ,the state. ' Tammany had its hand on the national legislature and though J checked by , ah nprising galnst It, when .Boss Tweed begau .boastfully to ask, ''What are yon going to do about it?" it ia not yet crushed. A man low enongn to coomno with that element, may thrust himself Into the presidential or gubernatorial chair. What is true in New York is true in Omaha, and similar ' influences curse and corrupt many of our cities. ; : From the dens of vice there fostered come the criminals for whose care we are taxed, aad out of the same dens come the ignorant purchasable voter. ; , We quote again the boastful question that once roused men agftirsst Tammany: "Wont are vou going t do about it?" i Joseph Cook says: "I believe the vices In our large cities will never be over come without the hel of woman's bal lot" Other wise men have expressed tho siime idea in other words. : ; ; 1 Tho need of better city officials has been made most apparent' to the people of Nebraska, in their last election. When the niayor of ou metropolis! declares that a measure un for the de-' cision of the people, niiwt be defeated; by fair , means or lout, ana wueatne wholo machinery of city government is used to defeat, if necessary, te will of the people, legally expressed, it ia time to call into uso whatever reserve force ,of purity we may have. . ' ) v J ; , i .The details of city management re semble house keeping; economy In ex penditure is wanted; watchfulness re garding cleanliness, safe-guards to life and property, and the utter banishment of those places where the young are trained in vice and crime. The mothers ' are peculiarly fitted to see the remedy for the present state of affairs, - Party politics should have ho control 1n oity matters. Clean, pure officials are wanted, sustained by the votes of all good citizens.- including the women. Because, the women will always consti tute, to a great extent, an independent force, not moved by the desire of of fice. Because, an .overwhelming 'majority Of women are on the side of purity and good government. , Because, aa citizen tax-payers, arid as mothers they have much at stake in these concerns. , 1 Because, they have the "ability ito judge and choose wisely; therefore, we conclude that their interest In good government, their freedom from party obligations, and theirpractical wisdom, would cause their ballots to be a puri fier of city government and lesssn the present danger of political corruption . In these centers of population. In the words of Senator Hoar:' VNo nation, no city, no household, ever took a lofty place where the influence of woman did not inspire it with the heroic tem per. And when she takes this new and final step, bringing to the service of the state her purity, her devotion, her in sight, her faith, she will not only t en jaoble the state, but will elevate also : Whate'er of peace about our hearth stones cling. Whate'er our household gods protect of dear. .; General Booth has been charged with unfairness in failing to deal with the drink problem in his great beok, "In Darkest England," and as a conse quence of this he has been actively en gaged for several weeks in asserting his abhorence of the drink traffic and belief that the triumph of prohibition is f tho ultimate end of all he seeks. But rescue work, he declares, is the only means available at this juncture. "Sup pose," he says, "that we were on a rock- , bound coast, strewed with the wrecks , of all kinds of vessels, and that shriek ing men and women on board of these were on the point of going down be neath the waters. Suppose that many' of those perismng were witnin reach of the shore, if l were- there I know what I should consider my dutv I , should get together the best crew that ever went out with their lives in their hands, with human hearts in their ' breasts, and with hnglish determina tion iu their wills.

Dur ing the past week we have organized two sub-Alliances, and this is a very valuable accessiou to Sarpy County Alliance, as it takes in some of the best farmers in the county.

Considerable amusement ; was caused by an Indian, who insisted that his name was "howf? f and that be was governor of Nebraska, being placed in the speaker's chair after adjournment THE ATTACK UPON MR. SHRADER His Vindication by the Independent Members of ths House. t Whereas, A paper has been circu lated In the county of Logan, state of Nebraska, the home of . Hon. Cf D. Shrader, purporting to be an appeal for immediate relief , for the drouth stricken portion of our state; and . ; Whereas, One W. Quincy Mahan, the party circulating said petition, had no other object in view than : to reflect on said Shrader and if possible disrupt the ranks of the Independent party, and to carry out the diabolical schemes of the old parties backed up by the monied powers, corporations, and the nefarious politicians and ' political demagogues; therefore be it Resoleed, That we, the Independent members of the house of representa tives of the state of Nebraska, not only denounce as absolutely false the afore said petition, bet also the reports sent out by the Omaha Bee. World-Herald and State Journal. ' Be it further Retolztd, That tne Hon. C. D. Shra der, through his untiring efforts, has done as much if not more than anyone in .the state for our destitute people in the western portion of the state by se curing from a single firm (in writing) a credit of . 135,000 worth of groceries, and from twelve to fifteen cars of flour per day until the amount needed shall be had; also in securing a pledge from a number of heavy capitalists of this city to guarantee the payment of such goods that could not be obtained on the pledge of the legislature to appropriate enough to cover all ' such purchase; also to guarantee to pay all freight charges on such: goods. The railroad companies have refused to forward supplies upon either the pledge of the legislature or the capitalists. And fur ther be it ' ' '- - i Resolved, We' are prepared for ' all such attacks upon any other true Inde pendents, and ask only that the people of Nebraska reserve their judgment of our actions until fully informed of the low-down influences brought to bear upon us by the common, enemy of hon est legislation for the people, : . . .

I rU You should join it because it is labor ing for the better education of the la boring class, and endeavoring to; show them that it is their duty to understand political economy so that they will not be bound by party ties, but vote for the right. The women all want their Chil dren to grow up intelligent men and women, and have the same educational advantages as the city children.; This is one of many things the Alliance is striving to obtain. ., .The Alliance also wishes to secur purity of - the elective franchise and have all voters to intelligently vote for the enactment of laws that will be of interest to farmers. Women should all want purity of ballot and work for the Australian system of balloting ; since there was such frauds at the last elec tion., , ; ; m i ' . . '. :,., The Alliance wishes to develope a better state mentally, morally, socially, and all women shon d help them in their good work; Join the Alliance and help make it a place of interest and then with women in it, it will never get as corrupt as both of the old parties. Women, teach your sons to battle for the cause of the people, for upon you will depend largely whether this move ment will be -a success or not. , See what Mrs. McCormick has done for the farmers.

Editor or Tut People -The all en grossing topic in political circles the past week has been the election ' of Governor Hill to the renalorship. Al though it was known that he would be the democratic candidate on the Satur day before the election, his majority on joint ballot was so email as to render the race exciting, and the Democratic managers were afraid that by some ac cident several assemblymen might be absent when the vote mi taken. , Two democratic assemblymen were so il) that it was feared that they would be unable to attend the senatorial elec tion, while Stein of New York was ab sent no one knew where, and Demorest of Nyack bad been arrested for embez zlement a few days previou ly. 1 He was released, however, and with the. three others were present in Albany in time to vote, so that Governor Hill was elected senator by a majority of two. It is rumored that Governor Hill will not vacate the gubernatorial chair un til next December unless a special ses sion of Congress is called. Doubt is ex pressed as to his ability to hold a federal and state office at the same time, and some newspapers here are demanding tnat ne resign tne governorship at once. Cleveland when he was elected presi dent in 1884, resigned over two months before his inauguration, and other cases have been cited showing that this has oeen tne custom, n Governor mil, however, does not resign his office until next December,, when Congress con venes, and r.ny objection is raised, he will probably turn his compensation for the first nine months of his term back into the, treasury, and thus shelve' any question that might arise as to the1 pro priety oi holding pots omces at once. -. While the better class of citizens here regret that they are to be represented in the United States senate for the next six years by such .a man as . Hill, yet there is consolation in the fact that he wilt lose control of the political 1 ma chinery of the democratic party: in this state, which be. has manipulated for jears lor nis own private gain. , , , A meeting was held Saturday after noon in the lecture room of the Anieii can Museum of National History, under the auspices oi tne JNew iork State Forestry Association to promote the passage of the bill for the Adirondack State Park. Over 1.500 persons, were in attendance, and among ihe speaker were Grover Cleveland, and Morris &, Jessup, president of the association. . It was pointed out that the preserva tion of the forests, especially in the Adi rondack region, is essential to the pros perity of the state, as their destruction would mean the failure of the water supply of the Erie and other Canals, be sides great damage and inconvenience by floods in the spring and drought In the summer and autumn.; Already the effect of the destruction of; extensive areas of forest lands is felt. The aver age height of the Hudson river above Troy1 has, in the past five 1 years, decreased, eight feet in summer and increased six feet in the scoring, while in other streams in the northern part of the state, the average summer level has decreased from1 SO to 70 per cent in the past twenty years. : j : , , i , i ., Resolutions were adopted demanding that action be taken immediately by the legislature ' to4 prevent further destruc tion of the: forests, and 'to purchase such lands as are necessary to preserve the watersheds of the rivers in the Adi rondacks.' The state owns large tracts of land in this seetion and less than 5,000,000 would be required i to pur chase enough land to make a park of over 3,000,000 acres, the income . from which would net the state considera ble revenue. - ' " 1 ' ' ' '5 " J The past week has been remarkable for the extreme dullness which pre vailed in financial circles, owing partly to the ' pending silver . legislation . in congress. The railroad and govern ment, bond markets have been quiet, and stocks have generally declined, Call loans have ranged during the week from 8 to 3 per cent, closing Satur day at 2. Bar silver declined steadily from 11,051 on Monday to $1.93 Friday, making a gain of cent on Saturday. The exchanges for the week . at the clearing house amounted to 1821,779,- 919; , ; !-. v i v;..t ,A 1 The- annual report.' issued, by the New York , chamber of commerce last week showed that the foreign' com merce of the United States for the year ending June 80, 1691, -amounted to $1,33,868,839, of which, New .York's share was 8913,615,600 or about. 63 per cent. r The total value Of exports was 88i. 076,017, and of imports $828,286, 735; showing a balance of trade of 857, 789,288 in our favor., Of this foreign trade American vessels carried 8222,1 023,679, and foreign vessels $1,423,409, 454 the remainder being transported by rail to Canada and Mexico. :;; : ..; The above report furnishes a conclu sive argument for the encouragement of American shipping, Only one-fourth per cent of our foreign trade carried in American, and eighty six per cent in foreign ships. In the face of these fig-, ures party politics should not stand in the way of effecting a remedy. It is plain that some legislation for the res toration of American shipping is urgent. A collection of 130 paintings by Mr. de Haas of this city, which has been on exhibition during the past week at the Fifth Avenue galleries: is attracting con siderable attention. ' They are princl nallv marine : views. and: include his "Rapids above Niagara Falls."
