THE CONTEST ENDED. ,
The defeat of the concurrent resolu
tions in the senate on the 11th ended
the contest for the executive offices in
the state ended St probably in a way
that no such contest was ever before
ended. The defeat of that resolution
was a denial of the right, not only of
certain citizens in their private char
acter, but of a large body of voters in
their political character, to bring for
trial before the only judicial tribunal'
known to our law in such cases a cause
in which the private, citizens believed
they had a great grievance, and the
body of citizens as voters believed they
had been denied their political rights,
and the possession of the several execu
tive offices been' usurped. To say that
this denial of a right of hearing by the
only tribunal having jurisdiction of the
case, and from whose decision there is
bo appeal, is an unparalleled and in
famous outrage, is a long ways within
the truth. That it is a plain violation
of the constitution and the law is also
equally true. The constitution says;
"Contested elections for all of said of
fices (meaning executive offices) shall be
determined by both houses of the legisla
ture , etc. The law says; "The legis
lature in joint session shall hear and de
termine cases of contested elections for
ail officers of the executive department."
The senate of the state of Nebraska, by
the infamous vote of the 11th, refused
to "hear and determine" the contested
cases, and by that vote every member
who voted no. no matter what his mo
tive or excuse, violated the solemn oath
he took to "support the constitution of
the state of Nebraska."
Those who have real The Farmers'
Alliance for 'the past three months
are tolerably well informed as to the
history of this contest. Those who
have depended for their information
about it upon the three leading dailies
of the state, viz: the World-Herald, See
and Lincoln Journal, are entirely misin
formed. These papers have systemati
cally lied in relation to the matter, and
when the evidence was being taken
published only that portion of it which
suited their purpose. So it happens
that the public Is really very ill-in
formed about the case. We do not pro
pose now to review it or give its history,
but there are some facts which we pro
pose to state. First, the contest was
nominally, in its origin and progress, a
contest between the Independent state
nominees and James E. Boyd and the
republican state nominees. ; It had not
long been in progress before well-in
formed men discovered that its charac
ter had changed, and that it had become
. a contest between eastern capitalists
represented by their money-lending
agents in this state, the railroad power,
which is under the same control, and
THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB., SATURDAY FEB. 21, 1891.
the farmers and producers of Nebraska.
This Is the phase the contest assumed
and under which it was decided, and
these were the elements that were at
work to defeat the representatives of
the Independent voters. Had the peo
ple fully recodnized this fact the con
test would probably have been better
fought on their side. But every agency
at tbe command of the money power in
addition to the papers we, have named,
was used to befog, mislead and misin
form the people.
Second Long before the contest was
begun, even before the campaign was
fairly closed, the bankers' association
of this and other states bad begun to
accumulate a fund to prevent financial
legislation adverse to the supposed in
terests of the money power. Twenty-
five to fifty thousand dollars was ac
cumulated at Lincoln nominally for
this purpose. This fund purely a cor
ruption fund was under the control, to
all intents and purposes, of the most
corrupt and unscrupulous jobber in the
state a man largely interested in lucra
tive state contracts. The money pow
er became greatly alarmed at the pros
pect of laws for the financial relief of
the people, such as a stay law and a
usury law, and it also became con
vinced that to subserve its interests and
prevent such legislation it was neces
sary to defeat Mr. Powers. ; It there
fore came about that a fund originally
raised - to directly influence the legisla
ture tin the enactment of laws was
diverted to defeat the Independents in
the contest. These are well-known
facts, capable of irrefragible proof.
Rarely does it happen, when the in
terests of the corporations and the
money power are pitted against the in
terests of the people, that traitors are
not found to betray the latter. The
Judas who took the thirty pieces of sil
ver, and by a kiss betrayed the Saviour
of mankind betrayed the Divine Man
who by His life and teachings has al
ways stood for the great plain people-
has found his vile counterpart through
ail the ages. He has been here in Lin
coln through this contest. - He had
three doubles in the senate. They
were named COLLINS, TURNER and
TAYLOR. We dislike to defile our
pages with their names. We hand
these three men out, a trinity of in
famy. The gold they got will burn in
to their souls till they are only ashes.
Till the graye closes over them the
scorn of every honest man will be their
portion. Their wives will despise and
their children execrate them. Oblivion
is the only solace the future has in store
for them. There is only one epithet
that fits them. Take the vile spirit of
the heart of a thief, a forger, a betrayer
of innocent childhood, a murderer of
his friend, a hater and destroyer of
every good principle that ever ani
mated the human soul, and boil it
down till it palls the sense and eclipses
hell, and Its name is TRAITOR.
The railroads and money power have
won this contest won it by the vilest
corruption and fraud that ever dis
graced any legislative assembly won
it by dragging the sacred judicial er
mine into the lowest slum of partisan
politics won it by inducing the senate
of this state by purchased votes to,re
fuse to perform its plain constitutional
duty, and deny to citizens of this state
and thousands of honest voters a privi
lege which is the sacred right of the
humblest man that walks our soil, the
right to a judicial hearing before the
only tribunal to which he could appeal.
Not in all the records of all the states
not anywhere save in the black annals
of despotic and tyrannical power can
such another case be found.
But the end is not yet. ? The people
will come to know the facts and under
stand the principles of this case. , They
will also be fully informed of the vile
agencies which have been used to pre
vent a fair trial. They will learn that
this is not a case of a refusal to seat
this or that governor, or this or that set
of executive officers, but that it in
volves a refusal to heara refusal to try
a cause in which citizens believe their
most sacred rights ; were at stake.
And when they come to know these
crimes they will sweep the men and
parties that have perpetrated them into
the infamous seclusion they deserve.
LYING CHEEK.
The lying cheek of the Bee was never
better illustrated than in its attempt to
identify the prohibitionists with the late
contest. It has done this solely to
withdraw from the independents the
sympathy of their anti-prohibition
friends. Now we state again once for
all that the prohibitionists had nothing
whatever to do with the contest from
beginning to end. They did not besrin
it, and have not aided it with a dollar
of money that we are aware of. Of
course prohibitionists have testified
when called upon.- They had to. But
the facts are as we have stated, and the
Bee knows it as well as we do.
THE INDEPENDENTS OF SOUTH
DAKOTA ELECT A U. S.
. SENATOR.
On Monday last Rev. J. IL Kyle, ah
ordained minister of the gospel, was
elected United States Senator for South
Dakota. This is a great Independent
triumph, but it will be a fearful shock
to the American house of lords. Of
course, any minister who is sentenced
to become a member of the United
States senate for six years Is entitled to
everybody's sympathy.
WHAT TO DO WITH TRAITORS
AN IMPORTANT CAUTION
Threats have been made of ven
geance upon men who did not keep
their pledges to their constituents.
These threats must be seriously and
calmly reconsidered. No personal vio
lence, no personal injury must be of
fered to any man, no matter how much
of a traitor he may be. There are
cogent reasons for this which a -little
reflection will show. The Alliance is a
secret society. It has been charged-'
of course, falsely that its members are
bound together by a solemn blood-curdling
oath, not only to stand by the so
ciety in all things, but to obey the
orders of certain leaders. Of course
all members know the falsity of this
charge. But outsiders do not know it.
They may believe that men who would
take such oaths would lie about them,
which would be true. Now, If any vio
lence should be done to any man who
was charged with treachery, the Alli
ance would be held responsible and
would be charged with having com
plied with such oaths as we have al
luded to. One hanging would destroy
the Alliance. We hold the welfare of
that society sacred; and we now sol
emnly demand that no violence shall be
used anywhere. Our civilization, thank;
God, will not sanction it. It is only
when great masses of men are moved
by one impulse to resist tyranny and
oppression and only when no other
resource is left that revolution is
justifiable.
There is a punishment that, to a man
with a spark of sensitiveness or honor,
is worse than death. The man whose
neighbors despise him who meets
averted eyes and no extended hands
is a living corpse. . This punishment is
due to a traitor. But in behalf of our
society, which is so grand and charita
ble in its objects, and has so grand a
future before it, we demand that no
other punishment shall be attempted.
MONOPOLY SLUSH.
The monopoly papers are teeming
full of advice to the granger legislature,
and of articles talking about the un
developed condition of Nebraska, her
need for more railroads and the de
pendence of her citizens for capital
upon the eastern money lenders. These
articles are unmitigated slush. They
have for their sole object the preven
tion of laws curbing the rapacity of
railroad corporations and seeking re
lief from the financialsituation. These
articles particularly dwell upoa the de
pendence of labor upon capital. We
have before us one from the Sutton
Advertiser and republished in the B. &
M. Journal, It is sapient nonsense. It
says "Capital will come if we invito it."
Now, capital will do no such filing.
Capital is a hundred times more depen
dent upon labor than labor is upon
capital. Where labor creates wealMi
capital is feund. Labor creates it.
Capital is that portion of wealth which
may be used to create more wealth.
But it cannot be used without labor.
Separated from labor the wealth of
Croesus would not produce a dollar of
increase. If labor settles down in Ne
braska and pioduces something that
other people need, money will come
here to buy it. If industrious laborers
settle in a country, railroads will follow
them, and follow them soon enough. A
vast amount of the debt now existing
in this state, which is such an unbear
able burden, was needlessly contracted,
and the owers of it would be better off
had they been unable to borrow. We
know whereof we speak. We came to
Nebraska poor. We have borrowed
much money, and bought much goods
oh credit. But we are absolutely cer
tain that if we had not been able to
borrow a dollar or buy a dollar's worth
on credit, we would have got along just
as well, been just as happy meanwhile,
and would be thousands of dollars
richer to-day.
The money power is boycotting Ne
braska to day to prevent the legislators
from fulfilling their pledges to their
-constituents. If this boycott could be
turned upon the money power if it
could be informed that its money was
no longer wanted, and it could at once
take possession of every mortgaged
farm its dependence upon labor would
be quickly demonstrated, and farms
would be far sale at a lower price than
for many a day.
A BRILLIANT IDEA BY THE "ABLE
EDITOR."
The B. & M. Journal of the 12th, in
an editorial discussing "the rate ques
tion," has the following brilliant "sup
pose:" "Let the farmers of Nebraska suppose
a case that might possibly sometime
come home to them. Suppose it should
be decided sometime by the courts that
as the government gave them the land
in the nrst instance free of cost, in short,
as a "franchise," the people of the state
have a constitutional right to say. what
they should charge for the product of
this franchise, how much they should
receive for their wheat, their corn, their
hogs and their cattle."
The effort to confuse a railroad fran
chise in which there had been no trans
fer of any title in fee, and in which to
enable the grantees to effectually use
the franchise the state had shared with
them the exercise of the right of emi
nent domain, with the case of the use of
land the title to which had been con
veyed in fee by the government for a
consideration, is quite worthy of the
"able editor" of the railroad organ.
When it can show a long lice of decis
ions that land is tbe property of the
public in the same sense that a railroad
is a public highway, its idiotic "sup
pose" may have some force.
But aside from these considerations
the fact that railroads are and neces
sarily must be of the nature of monopo
lies, and the price of their services fixed
by combinations, while the prices of
the products of the soil are fixed solely
by the laws of supply and demand, make
the supposition of the Journal alto
gether ridiculous. If it should happen
that the production of any one of the
products named by the Journal should
be famed out to a monopoly as in view
of the advance of the monopolistic prin
ciple does not seem unlikely then in
deed the people could step in and prop
erly say what the monopolists should
exact, just as they have the clearest
right to say what the railroad monopo
lists may exact for their services as
common carriers.
The Journal farther says:
"But the railroads of Iowa are com
pelled to do the local, hauling for less
than cost, according to their testimony,
and certainly if they had no other busi
ness to do but the local business they
would be out ol pocket every day."
The editor knew the above to be fake
when he wrote it. The editor knows
that under the Iowa law, if the roads
can show in court that the charges fixed
in the Iewa , schedule are r unreasonably
low, the schedule would be raised. He
also knows that the Iowa roads volun
tarily abandoned the contest in the
courts and accepted the schedules pre
pared by the commission because they
could not show that they were too low,
and that they were losing money by
them. In thort, the roads declined to
go into court and show up their busi
ness for any advantage they might have
gained by it. i
The State Journal and such paid at
torneys as O. P. Maaon cannot show
that the Nebraska rates are unreason
able and ought not to be lowered, "sup
pose" as much as they may.
"A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.'
Something About Mr. Gale.
We find the following in a report of
legislative proceedings:
"Gale (ind.) arose to a question of
Envuege, and said that in his absence
is seat had been moved over to the re
publican side of the house, and wanted
to know by what authority. The
speaker was unable to furnish the de
sired information." 3
;We don't know aaything about the
removal of Mr. Gale's seat, but we pre
sume it was removed because the Inde
pendents had become ashamed of his
company. Elected as an Independent,
he has opposed them from the start,
voting and acting with the opposition.
Mr, Gale is a man whom the word
"traitor" fits admirably. He will wear
it as he does his new clothes, but it will
last longer than any suit he can buy
with corporation money. We have dp
scribed the meaning of tho word in an
other column, and do not care to repeat
it. Mr. Gale was repudiated by the
Independents a month ago, as the fol
lowing mild indictment will show. We
withheld it hoping there mightbe some
mistake. But time only confirmed the
judgment.
Representative-Halt,, )
Lincoln, Neb., Jan., 20. 1
We, the undersigned, Independent
members of the Neb. legislature, believe
it our duty to inform the constituents
Of Representative Gale of Brown county
that in our opinion he has not con
ducted himself as an Independent mem
ber should. In all or nearly all of the
test votes, where the Independents have
been pitted against the old parties, Mr.
Gale has voted against the Independents.
And it seems to us that for some reason
or for no reason Mr. Gale has become
a firm ally of the old parties.

than any other one place, or does it ap
ply to the lump'i Samoset club gets

TRANSPORTATION RATES.
What the People Demand and the In
terests of the State Require.
Me. Editok: The people demand
and the interests of the state require
that the transportation qaestion be
handled with wisdom and fairness. No
personal ambition should dictate a line
of policy that would operate as a leg is
ante to the great business 'interests of
the state. All interests must be care
fully considered, or no legislation upon
this subject will be successful. The
eyes of the whole state are upon the
members of the legislature, and-any
visionary scheme will consign its vo
tary to everlasting oblivion. The trans
portation companies as common car
riers have interests in this state which
should be respected. . ;
Why this inordinate desire and haste
to rush through, half considered, H. R
No. 12? Is it fully advised, or is it per
sonal ambition? In my daily visits to
the capitol I find many members of the
house lobbying in the corridors and
halls, and even on the senate floor, in
furtherance of this bill. Now, what
are its most important features, calcu
lated to make it effective and beneficial
to the general interests of the state? I
find upon a hasty examination that the
bill is really inadequate, erratic, im
practicable, and could not be enforced
if enacted into a law. Besides this, I
think grave constitutional questions are
raised under some of its provisions.
The legislature has to "'deal in this mat
ter with conditions and not theories.
These conditions relate to and com
prise the subject matter of vast
sources of wealth and development
within the state. All interests should
be carefully considered and guarded
with wise provisions.
I want to advise the members of the
farmers' side of the house to call a halt
and get down to second sober thought,
or all will be lost to them and their con
stituents. The schedule rates of this
bill are very erroneous, vague, and
often unfair.- The statuory provisions
are wholly inadequate, chaotic, vague
and insufficient. As a friend to the
true, but not visionary reforms of this
state, I can only seriously and honestly
advise that so far as this bill is con
cerned, proceedings should be wholly
de novo if good results are desired.
-. S. F. No. 85, as introduced by Senator
Stevens of North Platte, has been long
anticipated by the corporations of the
whole country. The fact of Mr. Stev
ens' practical information as a railroad
man, coupled with his bold and fear
less attitude upon the transportation
question, has attracted general atten
tion, and tho prospects are that the
fight against this class of legislation
will hinge upon this bill. This bill Is
really the only one receiving any con
siderable attention at the hands of the
enemy, and is likely to meet with the
determined opposition of the combined
corporations.
The general merits of the bill, to
gether with the masterly manner in
which the talented ' senator has drawn
it, are likely to commend it to popular
confidence. The original - and novel,
scheme of Senator Stevens in placing
the machinery eff .its enforcement with
in the-ifeli of'the great toiling masses
is a master stroke that could only
emanate from one who has given the
cause of the common people very care
ful and thoughtful consideration.
All those who know the senator per
sonally ask no further proof of the
bill than the fact that it was drawn by
his own hand, and it seems to me that
while some slight changes might be
made in the classification rates, the bill
as a whole should be enacted into a law.
The legislature should bear in mind
that the true policy of state govern
ment is to place the administrative ma
chinery as nearly as practicable within
the hands of the masses.
THE WAY THE THING LOOKS.
This item is written on Sunday, Feb.,
15. We state the date because we want
to make a prediction. It is one day be
fore the time set to hear the quo war
ranto proceedings questioning Jim
Boyd's citizenship. As soon as it was
understood that the contest was killed
the Samoset club came down and pre
sented a chair to Jim Boyd. They did
not wait for quo warranto proceedings.
How did they know that that suit was
to be dropped, and that there was to be
no furtner question of Boyd's right to
the gubernatorial chair on the grobnd
that he was an alien. If they had not
known it would they have been in such
haste to present the chair?
. We now predict that the case will be
dropped, or the court will decide that
Gov. Thayer had no right to bring the
suit. If it is. the fact will "Constitute
prima facie evidence that the supreme
court has been in criminal conspiracy
with the Boyd gang. Boyd would then
be allowed to play governor until the
legislature adjourns, pull the monopoly
chestnuts out of the fire by vetoing bills
the money power do not want, and
thus make a record which the republi
cans don't like to make; then, presto,
Tom Majors intervenes, Mr. Boyd is
sent home, and the republicans take the
bakery. This is the nice little trap the
democrats have got their fingers into by
going into the vile combination. But
the combination was perfectly natural.
It has long been known that there was
no difference between those parties ex
cept in name, and they have now
abundantly proved it.
Wednesday, Feb. 17. Yesterday
when the quo warranto case came upr
Boyd's attorneys filed amotion to strike
the application for the writ of quo tear'
ranto from the files, on the ground that
Gov. Thayer was not the proper party
to bring the action. It will he seen
that this motion is exactly in line with
the policy we have outlined. As soon
as the session is ended, Tom Majors
will intervene and take his place as
governor of Nebraska, and this comedy
of errors will be ended, the people'
will will have been defeated, and fraud
and villainy will be triumphant.
WILL THE SUPREME COURT MAN
DAMUS THE SENATE.
In refusing to pass the concurrent
resolution fixing a day to try the con
test the senate violated the constitution,
in refusing to perform a plain- duty
made mandatory by that instrument.
Will the supreme court issue a mandam
us on the president of that body, re
quiring it to preform its duty. It would
be. quite as legal for it to do so as it was
for it to mandamus the speaker of the
house.
As a matter of fact the- supreme
court has no jurisdiction in the case.
The constitution and the law expressly
give the legislature full power and
makes it mandatory upon it to deter
mine all cases of -contest on tbe execu
tive officers. The method of proced
ure being prescribed by law, the su
preme court ; would have a reviewing
power in case the law was not complied
with, but it certainly has no original
jurisdiction.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Since our last issue the house has
passed the Australian ballot law. H.
R. No. 12, being the maximum freight
law, was recommended for passage by
the committee of the whole; also the
bill making the governor commissioner
of transportation, with power to ap
point three secretaries. A bill has been
introduced creating a state purchasing
agency. H. R. No. , providing for
the taxation of unimproved land the
same as contiguous improved land, oc
cupied the attention of the house Mon
day and part of Tuesday, but was not
disposed of. .
In the senate little was done in the
last part of the week, the refusal to
permit the trial of the contest having
paralyzed that body. Monday and Tues
day the Australian ballot law, was con
sidered, and recommended for passage
by committee of the whole. The repeal
of the sugar bounty was also considered
and recommended for passage.
The senate passed the house bill re
pealing the sugar bounty.
THE RELIEF COMMISSION.
In the Bee of the 13th is a caustic arti
cle entitled "buying pigs in a poke,"
in which the relief commission is criti
cised from an Omaha stand-point. From
that point of view of course all pur
chases of supplies should be made at
Omaha.
We sympathzie with the Bee in the
desire that everything connected with
the relief business should be open and
aboveboard, and that there should be
no jobs or steals connected with it. We
consider it extremely unfortunate that
any man tainted with jobbery should
have had a leading part in organizino-
the board or the purchasing committee.
But we will say to the Bee that there
are trnofl and honest men nn fbo
mission; that all bills for goods bought
are open io me inspection or tne public;
that good business men who thoroughly
know nrinfia will insnpf-t tbpni anA vot
