The mendacity and villainy of the railroad lobby was aerer before excelled in this or any other state. Hen are bought like cat tie. Men who hare received the confi dence of their constituencies are as sailed in their weak points, corrupted with gold, and thus the very essence and life of republican institutions and free government are destroyed. As the Goth invader of Rone put his sword in the balance against the jewels of the Roman citizens, so these corporations and the money power put their gold in the scales against the ballot, against purity, against honesty, against every, thing that is prized by the patriot and good citizen, and the gold outweighs all the rest. The evil has reached such a point that tite true patriot may well stand aghaHt at the actual state of facts bo sees be fore him open as the day, and wonder iogty ask if there is a remedy. The gold ofjthe corporations, wrung by un just exactions from the people, is thrown into the scale against equality. Equal ity It destroyed; the ballot it neutralized. Without equality there it no liberty. The point is reached when revolution is justifiable. Lot this go on a little longer and the tocsin will be sounded, tbe signal tires will blaze upon the mountains, and out of the fastnesses men will pour with their lives In their kands. We warn these corporations and their vile henchmen now. They do otseo how near they are to the brink f it. It is only a short step now to first principles. The declaration of the rights of man is the supreme and ulti mate formula before which the trifling forms upon which these corporations lean for their support melt away like wax in a furnace. Right and justice are the rocks upon which we build. The Moody fusillade in New Orleans the ether day shows how easily the barriers are swept away when once the people realize that upon themselves alone must they depend for right and justice. The Taylors are the violators of the most sacred laws. A murderer is clean handed by the side of them. They are murderers of honor, of truth, of faith, ef the confidence of their fellowmen. We send the plutocrats now a grim warning. Misfortune, suffering, pro test, individval sacrifice, have reached their climax here. The very air we breathe is -heavy with oppression an irresponsible oppression born of the corruption of corporate interests striv ing to hold and tighten their clutch upon the producers and the toilers. The twin of this oppression is rebellion re bellion that will destroy when it comes rebellion that will seek revenge with justice, and that will bring in its Pan dora's box fire, rapine and blood. Un let .there is a change and a rentody found this day is as inevitable as that God reigns, aud it will be soon. This is not a threat it Is a grim warn ing. It Is the Inevitable repetition of history. Will you wait for it or will you! turn before it is eternally toj late? 4 SBMHsaiaBBBH THE .SO VAILED IXDEl'EXDEXT voxrsxnox. A convention purporting to be Inde pendent as held last week to nominate candidates for city offices. It nomi nated a ticket, but this ticket has no right whatever to the nam "In.b jH u dent" as designating a distinct political party. The ticket U a hybrid ticket made up of republicans and democrats, with a sprinkling of Independents. We belle v the leading aomlmeshav never made soy pretention whaterer to re nouncing their allegiance to the eld partita, Ao surer eourr tun be adopted to destroy and neutral! a nw party than tfaU!

We now asd here THE FAKMEKS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB., SATUKDAY MAR. 2ft 1891. distinctly repudiate any obligation whatever to support any hybrid ticket under the came of Independent. This does not mean that we will oppose it; but we are unalterably opposed to any fusion with either of the old parties We take this position without adversely criticizing any of the persons nomi nated. It is s matter of principle en tirely independent of the personal char acter of any candidate. We were not present at the conven tion simply because we were confined to a sick bed and unable to be on our feet. But had we been there and al lowed a voice, it would have been for acleaa ticket of pronounced fndepen dents or no nominations. - The course of the conventions thus far has assured victory to the worst boodle element of the city. This result can only be averted new by a citizens' ticket made up without regard to any party whatever, on the basis of honesty and ability. Such a movement, aided by the new ballot law, might give Lin coin a new and pure government, but it is doubtful. There is nothing to be hoped for from party conventions ma nipulated and controlled by their oppo nents, as the so-called "Independent" convention seems to have been. THE LAST EFFORT. There never was a more devilish spirit manifested than has recently been developed by the corporations In respect to legislation in the state senate of Ne braska. Not content with their success in cor rupting legislators in regard to the con test resolutions, they have deliberately agreed upon the following plan to spirit away' one of the senators whom they have heretofore tampered with. Then to move a call of the senate, and as un der the rules no business can be tran sacted while the call is landing, 'and the call cannot be suspended so long as live senators object, to keep said senator hidden and to be sure that five railroad tools are always in the senate chamber to object to suspending the call until the sixty days of the session transpire; than to force an adjournment, if neces sary by the help of the governor. An extra session is then to be called by the governor and the business restricted to passing the necessary appropriation bills. - , This Is the plan as made manifest by the boasts of some of the more indis creet of their number, and by their con duct up to this time. In the meantime the people can see more and more clearly that the objec tion continually made by the demo republicans on the early part of tho ses sion that consideration of the contest was a waste of time and was preventing necessary legislation, was insincere and was only part of a plan concooted before the legislature met. A plan agreed upon by the corporations, the leaders of the old political parties, their satmps in the legislature and the court of last appeal In the' state to deliberately thwart the will of the people as ex pressed by their rotes, and in the plat forms of all the political parties of the state. These men seem jP be blind to the fact that they are treasuring up wrath against the day of judgment, that they are verifying the truth of the old say ing, "Whom the gods destroy they first make mad," and they are so exasperat ing the great mass of the citizens, both in city and country, that a revolution is sure to follow; peaceful we trust, but as inevitable as the reflux of a high tide, and irresistible as the pulse throbs of the mighty ocean. UXITE. Never before since the Independent party came into being has the absolute necessity of union and unity been made so apparent as during the past few days. The almost unaccountable bond be tween such bitter and ancient adversa ries, that have maintained, for thirty years or more hostile camps in every state in the union, should teach the members of the Independent party po litical wisdom; the main interest! of the party are common; the union of the two old parties unnatural. All personal ambition and petty anl mositles should be laid aside; the poo pie of this state, In these times, will not look with complacency or patieuco upon small men or their bickerings. If the sharp managers of the old par tics can seud you home, divided and disunited, it Is a practical defeat, if not destruction of the Independent party so far as you are coueernedaad it Is very demoralising to your brothers at homo. If yott cau not unlto, how can you ex pect others to bo elected frem tho farm ing classes who cant Tho stragglers from a dWorginlxed army are always picket! up by the enemy. Without active state organization and having lot all the state executive offices that justly belonged to the people, from want of unity and experience; wUdum and the latere! of the state bow de mand that every man of the party. with out an exception, ahould advise and nil with hi fellows upon every weiuure, in harmony, till the end of the eeasion The window ef all, er of a majonty, I ffetr than than ttul f the man, and the advice ef party awodaiee safer sad more to be depended spun than tht of the opposition.

The rank, open, unblushing bribery of a member of the senate by the rail roads, the felon's undisguised flight from the state, and the adoption and ap proval of the infamous transaction by the demo-republican senate combine to hold the senate in a deadlock, until their corrupt masters should reap the fruit of the bribery by the defeat of the maxi mum freight bill, are stunning in their boldness, shocking in the extent of the corruption and depravity they disclose, and alarming by reason of the great wealth, power, and influence of -this, now public, enemy, which wields this corrupting, deadly weapon of bribery against the very life of the state. Men of Nebraska, not farmers alone, honest men everywhere, arouse! There is just cause for alarm! Patriotic men of Nebraska, these things cannot come to good. The political atmosphere stinks and reeks with corruption. Is there no longer any state? Is there no longer any government? Is there no loager any Uw? Is there no longer any people? Js there only corrupt corporate capi tal, which has sunk every consideration of right, justice and law, and became or ganized corporate crime? Is not the baleful touch so deadly, as to utterly debauch and destroy a sena tor, and blight and paralyze his col leagues ? . ' The startling and alarming thing about the whole matter is that the act does not stand alone. It is only one of series of like events, that have pre ceded it; It is only a little more crimi nal than those that have gone before; it was only the natural outgrowth of the conditions that have existed in the fraudulent combines, that have been supported and sustained by pretty good men. Does not the act clearly disclose the bribery of the constitutional court that was to try the rights to the executive office? . ' . ... f ; ; Not that many of the members of the court were bribed. But did not too many of them approve, some silently, some not? How, now, in the sequel, will history discriminate? Is there one ex pression of indignation? of dissent? of even disapproval of that crime any where in the record of that constitu tional court? Then they silently ap proved. Now actively the same senators doggedly stand by the dead-lock bribery? . ,- ; , "' . What are we coming to? whither do we tend? Where shall this thing end? What is the remedy? How shall we check this mad dance of crime? , The only answer can be, that the cor rection must come from the common people, from the virgin soil. If it can not be found here then there is none. And herein lies the absolute demand for the Independent party; it has thus far done grand work, all honor, espe cially to those noble senators.every one, who have during the past week, stood ike a wall against every adverse In fluence for the people and for the right. The battle has only just begun. The circumstances and the time make it appropriate that we should emphasize the above facts and draw attention to the necessity for every honest man to cut entirely loose from tho old parties if he have at heart the good of his state. IJTO VALUABLE RELICS. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Olney, living in Lancaster county, have In their posses sion two heirlooms that are of great historic value. Our office force were permitted to look at-and admire them. one day last week. One is a complete family Bible,bearing the date 1502 on its title page. It Is printed on silk paper, and was a very substantially bound vol ume, although the corners are now much worn. When we remember that the first edition of the English Bible was printed in 1335, we can understand why Mr. Olney refused a house aud lot for it. The book cost the original purchaser 50 sterling. Another valuable document histori cally is a certificate of membership in the order of Cincinnati, issued to an ancestor of tho Olneys. It Is a genuine sheepskin aud boars the slguature of George Washington and John Knox, president and secretary of the order, and was issued in 1780. THE DEAD LWK. Tho Nebraska senate is under block ade. Ou Friday afternoon the "New berry bill" was en third reading. When It was nearly read, wbeu another hour would have completed Its reading, the opposition moved a rvceM. The motion was defeated 10 to 13. It soon became apparent that obstruction tactics were sought. Another attempt to take retea whea several members were at lunch fifty fevi away In the hall. Mr Warner moved a call of the house, so that the tnembet at lunch la the hall Might par tlclpat In the rote. They came prompt ly In, but the obstructionist proUfcly knew Senator Taylor M been spirited away. They knew their power under the M g o, p. rule that the IW Mutate had adopted. They saw that they could blockade Wgiaiauea, It aergtaet at am a yremptly dUpauaed for this refugee senator, and located him in Council Bluffs, Iowa. On receipt of telegrams from sergeant at arms Derby, that the absent senator was beyond the jurisdiction of the Nebraska senate, Senator Pointer, reciting these facts. asked that further proceedings under the call of the bouse be dispensed with. The obstructionists promptly rose and objected. Senator Stevens explained that the technical blockade was excess ively expensive on the tax payers of the state aud revolutionary in its effects. This did not deter the devotees at the shrine of corporation. Had they died upon the Atlantic, ocean and been thrown overboard to sharks they could still have risen in their places, uu the presiding officer have declared "five senators objecting, the motion is not agreed to." Had seven senators cod- spired at the beginning of the session to defeat all legislation, one could have hid securely away, another moved "a call of the house, and five persist ently refused to allow further proceed ings under the call" to be dispensed with, and no legislation could have been bad. Do the railroads think that they own the state? Will it ever be that the pur chase of two or three men will defeat the will of the people? In 1850 the pro-slavery democracy thought they could do without such patriots as Stephen A. Douglas and their enthusiastic following. They had dominated the government and now sought to destroy it. Slavery perished. The railroads have dominated Nebraska. The people ask to be as fairly treated as their brethren in Iowa. The rail roads send their hireling boodlers to corrupt legislators. Those who love the corporations more and the people less, blockade legislation in the senate. How long will the people be mocked? UXJUST TALK ABOUT SEXAT0R K00XTZ. We nearly wrote the above "unjust charges." But as a matter of fact we do not refer to charges at all. We have been shown a letter in the Trenton Reg ister, signed by Daniel O'Sheridan, de nouncing Sanator Koontz as an "in- scrupulous traitor" to the cause he was sent here to represent. In fact, the terms of the letter are coarsely brutal in their coarseness. Now we are en tirely certain that these strictures upon Senator Koontz are unjust in the last degree. They consist of mere denunci ationsnot a specific charge of wrong doing is made not an instance of dere liction from duty is specified. Mr. Koontz was severely critizised for bis pair with Senator Wilson. at the time the vote on the contest was pending. These criticisms were unjust. These gentle- were without doubt on opposite sides oa that question, and their votes fairly balanced each other. Both were unex pectedly and unavoidably absent on ac count of the storm when their vote came on. Every vote of Senator Koontz is a matter' of record. We have not scruti nized all of them, but as far as-we know every vote of bis has been consistent with his duty and convictions as an In dependent. With real traitors in our fold, bought with gold, we cannot afford to denounce our friends for mere minor differences on points where no sacrifice of principle Is involved. iXOTHER STEP IX THE C0XSPIRACY Another very notable fact was devel oped by the Washington dispatches last week. Judge Cobb was recommended to the president as the successor to Judge Groff in the land commissioner's office, the latter gentleman having re signed. This recommendation was made by Senator Paddock. This gentlemen is per te the representative and attorney of the U. P. railroad interest at Wash ington.. The course of Judge Cobb in preventing, as far as in his power, the contest from being tried, and thus keep ing out of the gubernatorial chair of this state a man who was supposed to be on the side of the people instead of the railroads, is to be rewarded br a federal appointment by a republican administration. The connection of this administration with the railroad power, and its servility to it, is thus sharply de fined. Mr. Paddock is the fitting me dium for such a recommendation. That he and all the other federal office hold ers have been working in this matter, under the orders and in the interest of the railroad and money power, there isn't a shade of a doubt. That Mr. Cobb would not dn- to face a Nebraska public In a contest for re election to the supreme bench is not surprising. It is unfortunate however; as the people are aching for an oppor tunity to bury him so deep und-r an avalanche of ballots that ho would not bo resurrected before the day of judge ment. All those straws are significant as hewing the vile conspiracy ol the poll ttcians ana trie railroad aud money power In w hich the supremo court of this state naa iieea taxing a part.

Is a triumph of the boodle element of the city. It is commended by the Stale Journal, whkh naively ob serves that the ticket selected did not give much satisfaction to those outside of the party, but was eminently satis factory to the party. When it is con sidered that "the party" only recog nized by the Journal consists of one of the worst nest of boodlers and thieves that ever plundered a city treasury, the force of its observation will be ap parent. A citizens' ticket will probably be the outcome of these vile nominations. A multiplicity of tickets, each strenuously adhered to by its partisans, will inevi tably give the boodlers new lease of power. No good citizen can desire this result. We give below an extract from an article by Mr. G. C. St. John, a re publican who repudiates his ticket. We do not know Mr. St. John; but he states the case cogently: "It is refreshing and encouraging to know that the public when sufficiently irritated oy an accumulation oi petty wrongs, or by the multiplying force on the mind of each citizen of someone atrocity, past or prospective, is able to rise and Inexorably scrape the political oaroacies irom toe municipal keel, in spite of the lamentations of those to wnom public pap has become an invet eracy, ana Jn contravention to the ex pressed desires of railway corporations, insurance companies, electric and gas lighting companies, banks and ex-B7 & M. railway superintendents and other individuals with interested views, dis solute principles and extravagant ex pectations, wno consult the interests ol the city no further than it is subservient to their own. "In view of what is past and liable still to come in the line of needless ex penditures by our city government such as neglecting the central pertion of the city as to water pipes, but extending water mains out to unoccupied prairie; such as the increase of electric lights, needless except for the benefit of the electric company, and the crafty alder man who stood by the helm and steered the measure through, such as the out rageous and farcical display of compe tition in paving contracts, whereby the same contractor is awarded all con tracts at higher figures than those sub mitted by other contractors, and pav ing bonus bearing interest before need ed; such as refusing franchises to new electric lighting companies and thereby aepnving tne city oi tne benents of competition, and not entertaining the bids of any electric lighting com Dan v excepting the one which seems to own the city fathers; such as paving two miles to the. northeast of the city, sttbile Tenth street recently was with difficulty paved to the court house. I say in view of these matters which float well bal- tstedln public conviction and belief and which we will gently call irregu larities, it would not be surprising if the taxpayers were well nigh ripe in opinion for a revolt against the present and prospective county officials and their patrons and liege lords, to whom they are or will bo indebted for their positions, and to whom possibly they J nave sworn fealty. If there ever has been a time in the bistorv of Lincoln I when an effort to wield tne power of the ring on the city has manifested itself, it is at the present, and it de volves upon every taxpayer of Lincoln to , rebel against the nominees of the republican convention of yesterday. These nominees are the fit exponents of audacitv and raoacitv. immunitv and impunity of corporations and individ uals wno would make the city subservi ent to their selfish schemes." A NEW VOTING SYSTEM. Indications are not wanting of an approaching change in the policy of Americans as regards the further re striction and protection of the ballot. Such a change of policy, if it be a change, has been growing, although somewhat slowly, since the days of know-notbingism. There has always been an idea that after all the bulk of ignorance was among the negroes, and that time and education would change them from an ignorant into an intelli gent and powerful - class- of citizens. It is certainly true, and it has been one of the advantages of universal suf frage, that the ignorant vote has been nullified in a degree by tho more intel ligent, and that the intelligent vote has been of a percentage large enough to control elections in a majority of cases. Nevertheless, there must be a constant pressure, as the steady descent of par ties show, to deal tenderly with the il literate vote. Tho pressure is not so strong, however, as it would bo if the debased and Ignorant held tho balance of power. But It Is strong enough to eiert a steady influence toward the deg radation of parties and party politics. MsHMachuKett tries and fails in practice to disfranchise those who are unable to read and write, just at Connecticut fails to difranchise thosce who are not Of goxl moral character. Since the census of 1870, Illiteracy In the United States has been the subject of frequent magazine and newspaper articles. It ha generally been treated, however, more from a standpoint of national pride than of national danger. That column of the census reports which define the Illiteracy of white males of twenty-one years and upward, should be enough to startle the mtxtt lu different Out of 11.3t3,0v5 whlii vot er?, ana.BJtt were unable to write. If we lake the pluraliUe and majorities of the election of tftit, we find that this claa coturi wort plainly Inte rtow, Mr. ClevnUud plurality la Coniwctt euiwMlA'H while lire illiurnt tote votHwau .W)li Mr. Blaine's plurality In lillaoU ww Ui1. and the Illiterate vote wa i(M. Sot wa it In km two iutellvctual state only, la that (flnctiwa thsre were fiit.ica uie in which I ho illiterate le'e was erra.r tban tt pluralities, s4 they tt Hi out of o69 electorial votes. So large Is the voting power of ignorance. A certificate voting system is the only plan that will effectually disfranchise the illiterate and detect fraud. When a young roan becomes of voting age he shall go to the county seat of the county in which he resides and be examined by a board of examiners, and if he answers intelligently a certain' per cent or more of the questions asked bim on the political issues of the day, he shall be given a voting certificate which shall entitle bim to vote at any election. An exact duplicate of the certificate shall be kept on file in the county in whice its original was grant ed. Let us imagine the state of an elec tion nnder such a system. A voter ap proachea the judges of eleciioa with his certificate. They take it and having examined it, stamp or sign if with nauie of place and date, it is then banded back to the voter and he is permitted to vote. It would be quite impossible to vote twice in the same day, because the voter must show his certificate to the judges before voting, and as the date is stamped or written upon it an attempt to vote twice would be easily detected. Let us suppose for a moment that such a system be univeisal and that a voter who had originally lived in Philadel phia should vote in Chicago with a counterfeit or fraudulent certificate. It is true he could vote, but if any indi vidual in Chicago so desired he could send to Philadelphia for the name and date of Issue upon duplicate of Pennsyl vania certificate No. 31,100, or what ever number the certificate might be. It is easily seen that if it were fraudu lent there would be no duplicate. Such a system would have a tendency to make young men and foreigners more wide awake - upon the important political questions. It would also pave a way for the detection of fraudulent votes. We cannot show the ideal America to the world until the ballot receives the protection that genuine Americanism demands. American institutions and the liberties of the people should be shielded from the corrupting power of invincible ignorance. The rise of the laboring classes and the attention the masses are now giving the needs of the hour, is prophetic of the new American who shall lay aside the dead issues of tne past and so shape the new one that they will be true missions of justice. KEL'NE.U. KOSS. How to Secure Intelligent Action. During all ages past the tendency of the people has been to form into two great classes the thinkers and the ac tors. We often hear it said of a man. "He is a thinker," and we merely no tice, then pass It by. How seldom we say to ourselves of such an one, "He is no more than all men should be." Even now a large majority of mankind is content to plod on acting out the thoughts of others. Only w her.; some great calanjity befalls, are the apathetic ones aroused to the realization that thinking power by its presence in man is what constitutes the difference be tween him and the lower animals. Railreads and corporations of every kind are the result of deep thought. Monopolies are controlled by men ' who labor only with their minds. The con densed thought of ages is embodied injthe plans of some of theo great trusts which are able to circumvent the laws of even our wisest legislators. Only when the added burdens upon the farmers are made apparent through a failure in nature's supplies is he brought to real ize that the lower animals alone; are compelled to depend oa nature's re sources. But then be thinks. Then he has such a spasmodic attack of thinking that he continues in spasms till good cropt return, end those who have made it their interest to control his destiny know they merely have to humor him till nature smiles again. - But can the farmer of Nebraska ever fall back ta the old condition of blind servitude? It does not seem possible! After we have come to realize that we live in thought, that the simplest action of which we are capable, even the lift ing of a hand, most first ;be thought out, that we qannot act for self alone, but are bound by common ties tolevery other man upon God's footstool, surely we cannot again descend to the level of machines. - We can not now believe that time spent in Alliance meetings pondering the things that be and plan ning the things that should be, is time wasted from the plow or the. reaper. We cannot think that we and our little farms are all the world to us. We can not fail to read and weigh carefully the thoughts of other as we find them in our paper, (strange that in Nebraska, almost an old state that paper is not quite two years old yet.) , And so we will take and read papers that voice the. thoughts o-f man untratu meled by any base and sordid connectiow with usurpation and tyranny, we will meet as brothers and plan and execute wisely, and we will remember that.
