"Judy and SunaU have bean boutrbt with gold," Long before thl palter will reach our reader all of thorn will have hoard of the veto of tho maximum rata bill by our de facto governor who 1 not a cftl rn, Jim Boyd. OuUideof the merit of thl bill, the manner in which it de feat wa com panned comprise an out rage unparalleled In the history of leg islation. It was not considered and de feated on It merit. It wu defeated by the invasion of our legislative hall and the executive olllce by the railroad corporation of tho country. These were not of thl stale alone. The Penn sylvania road and other eastern road bad their henchmen here and helped by their contribution to awell the corrup- ' tlon fund that was potent in drowning the voice of our peoplo and denying them tho power to control the creature , which they have apparently raised up to destroy them. At every step in it progress the bill wan fought by every mean known to tho most corrupt lobby. Hut when It reached the senate the climax of the opposition was attained. Senator Tay lor, who had boon corrupted, was spir ited out of tho stale, and advantage was taken of obscure parliamentary rule to cause a deadlock of business, in the . hope to weary or bulldoze the sup porters of the bill to yield. 15ut the deadlock had a contrary effect. It hardened the bill's supporters in their determination never to yield. Tho railroad at this juncture hoped to gain by corrupting more member. Hut the example of Taylor and Collins was not contagious. And public opinion now came to the aid of the majority. Letters and resolution began to pour in ex horting them to stand firm; and under this growing pressure the railroad co horts surrendered and allowed the bill to pass. It now went to the so-called governor, a subject of her majesty the queen of Great Britain. During the campaign we denounced this fellow as a tool of the ' corporations and money-power, as a man whom the railroad lobby of No braska could rely upon to do its bid ding. We were met by indignant de nial, and the pug-nosed bog-trotter, whose only uotable achievement was the brutal clubbing of a man who exposed one of his hog stealing exploits, was heralded by his partisans as a man of the peoplo. The event shows who was correct. Not an ofllclal nor unofficial act ha he itorformed that does not prove hlui to be the pliant tool of the mouied and railroad corporations that placed him in temporary power. The villain vetoed the bill, as every man of sense knew he would It was promptly pawed over bin veto in the house by the most ductal v ft vote of the session, 75 "yH!t 17 nays, aud sent to the senate.

Djes any one ' for a moment doubt that if an armed band were to appear in our legislative hail to compel our legislator to pass even the most harmless law, that our people would rise instantly in their might and sweep it off from the face of the earth ?

We are saying good bye to a past that i full of delusion and mistake and er ror. Whether we will or not we are entering upon a new era big with joy or sorrow for the human race. We have now to question a to what is our duty. Our forefather transmitted a sacred legacy to us a'l. What are we to do with it? Which is to be conserved, the people or tho aristocracy? the people or the corporation? To settle down in to apathy, to subult without battle to the existing state ef affairs, is mdral fili cide. Thought, reason, theory, are to bo suplerneuted by action. Force is to be met by force. Our mux ton now it to Oft ready. We can see through the veil. Old men and young must consecrate themselves to their country or see their country lost. No man knows bow soon our soil will thrill with the tread of armed hosts. THE SUPREME COURT AND JIM BOW'S CITIZENSHIP. The adjournment of the supieme court until May 5, without deciding the quo warranto case to determine Boyd's citizenship is a remarkable proceeding The court that could issue a mandamus upon the speaker of the house of repre sentatives in thirty minutes, and only give counsel seven minutes each for argument, cannot determine a plain MM A .Ait. t.t m case oi tact as to me ciuzensnip oi a mana case in which the record is plain and all the leading facts agreed upon by both sides a case in which there are no intricate law points in volvedafter ix weeks consideration. The course of the court since the legislature convened on all questions in which the interests of the independents were concerned ha been such that it has entirely lost the confidence and re spect of the citizens of the state, It is either in the conspiracy which involved a combination of the democratic and republican parties, the defeat of the contest, and the sustaining of lioyd in an illegal position, or it is swayed by partisan feelings to such an extent as to incapacitate it for an impartial judicial decision. One horn of this dilemma in volves as much moral obliquity as the other, and either destroys the character of the court as an impartial arbiter of law points on their merits, if the court is not that it is nothing; and its course during the past six weeks proves that it is not that. We have reasonably trustworthy in formation that Judge Maxwell is for Boyd, that Judge Cobb is for Thayer, aud Judge Norval for Majors, in the case of Boyd's citizenship. If this is true, pure partisanship has withheld a decision in this Important case. Anoth er view of the case is that the court has determined to sustain Boyd regardless of his technical disqualilicatiou, and that it delay in rendering a decision is to familiarize the public with the ex iting situation. However this may bo, tho public career of these judges will end with their present terms, if not before, aud they will never regain the place they held in public esteem. A partisan judge, a bribed judge, px a judgo that will conspire with corporate or politl cat power, is equally an object of alt horreucu aud detestaliou. The civili sation that will tolerate him is doomed to extinction. Around him are ruins, beyond him a desert, and his horion is a blank.

UlfATSlAllTinrmUE BE1 The above question is beginning to as sume large proportions for the party which parades itself lefere the country under the name of democratic. It can not present a united front on the tariff question. A representative democrat said several years ago that the tariff was a local issue. This great truth is forc ing itself upon the perceptions of demo crat more and more as time goes on. In every manufacturing democratic dis trict the democrats are protectionists, though extremely anxious that no one should discover the fact. The democratic south I becoming a manufacturing re gion, and its Infant Industries are de manding their share of protectionist pap. So it has come about that the democratic party is more than half pro tection. There is plenty of room In this country for two protectionist parties, but a contest between ttiem would not possess much Interest for anybody. Po litical conflicts, like horse races, need diverse Interests to make them enter taining. Mr. Cleveland believes in tariff re form as the sole and only issue. But his haste to assure his Wrall street friends that they have nothing to fear Irom hi'Ji as far as the money question is con cerned emphasized the fact that he would conceal, viz: That there is an other and equally Important issue which it was necessary for him to take cogni zance of, the money issue. But this is not an issue upon which the democratic party can take sides. Wall street and the cast are diametrically opposed to the south and the west on this question, and Wall street has its clutch on the democratic as well as the republican party. Added to this embarrassment is the fact that there is a large and growing wing of the democratic party which re pudiates tariff reform as loo mild t medicine, and demands absolute free trade in theirs. And absolute free trade Is undoubtedly the logical conclusion from the tariff reform efforts of the last few years Mr. Cleveland isaareat man. The grave yawns thrice wider for him than for other men. But in trying to clear the ground for his favorite tariff reform issue, and relegate the money question to the limbo of obscurity, he not only demonstrated that he was much smaller than his party, but be buried his chances to become the next democratic nominee for president. With the great question of all others, the money question, on one side, free trade on tho other, and half and half protection mixed between, it is per fectly apparent that in the year 1802 the democratic party will be divided against itself. "A house divided against itself shall surely fall." This will Se the opportunity of the independents. WUh honest declarations on live issues, and able and honest standard bearers, they may carry the winning flag. TRUE TO THEIR WOLS. As naturally as the law of gravitation the Omaha Bee and Lincoln Journal join hands in commending Boyd's veto of the maximum rate bill. The first the long time great exponent of anti mo noply principles, the advocate of farm er's rights, the St. George in the tight against the dragon of corporate power; the second the open and avowed advo cate and organ of the most shameless, audacious and thieving corporation iu this orany other state, in tho face of an attack upon corporate power find their complete aftiinty in the defence of a so called democratic governor, but a real tool of the railroads, for au act for which any governor should blush. Iet no man bo deceived, For years we haetold the people of Nebraska that the only difference between the democratic aud republican parties in this state was one of name only. Thl distinction may still remain, but the parties thcmsolve are merged iu oue aud the only plank of it plat form Is servile subserviency to corpor ate power. Ion't forget it, and don't lie deceived.

The Omaha Bee has condescended to notice the Cincinnati conference w hich is to tweet the 19th of May. It even ad mits that it "promises to be an impos ing affair as to numbers," and that it "may make the political battle of next year rather more interesting and excit ing than usual." These admissions are remarkable. It is the general custom of the monopoly press, of which the Bet is now the chief representative west of the Missouri, to belittle all movements of the people for reform, or for any new party organization. The conference must be promising indeed to exact such admissions from the Bee so long in ad vance of its coming. But we notice this Bee article for another reason. The editor of the Bee is Incapable of frankness and fairness in the treatment of any subject or upon any occasion. He speaks of the Cincin nati conference as the creation of the Alliance he assumes that it was called by the Alliance and that the forma tion f a third party by it will signalize the entrance nf th Allln. Intn nation. . - ... w UUlllIJ 1 al politics. And yet that editor, "uBl less be is an absolute dolt which he is net well knew that there was nothing further from the truth. He knew that that conference was not called by the Alliance. He knew that it was called by parties outside of the Alliance, and that at least twenty organizations lKssides the Alliance were invited to send delegates to it. He simply dis torts and misrepresents facts to suit the mood he is in when he writes. If the Cincinnati conference result in tho formation of a great party, as it probably will, it will not be an Alliance party, nor a K. of L. party, nor any F. M. B. A. party, but it will be a people's party, embracing the great plain people of this country of all classes and conditions, without re gard to previous condition of servitude. In the article alluded to the editor of the Bee appeals to "republican farmers" not to take any part in the great move ment, and gets off the old chestnut about their "throwingaway theirvotes" by voting for candidates that may not be elected. He admits, however, that the election of president "may be thrown into the house." Now, we desire to assure the editor of the Bee that since the late demo repub lican combine was made in this state there are very few republican farmers Jn his bailiwick. As for their "throwing away their votes," if there is any more effective way of doing it than has been practiced by the average republican and democratic voter for the past ten years, we will thank the editor of the Bee to point it out. SENATOR TURNER. We are satisfied that injustice has been done to Senator Turner. We are in formed that his own Alliance in Saline county adopted resolutions instructing him to vote against the contest, and that strong pressure was brought to bear upon him from other parts of his own district. While we consider his vote against the contest a deplorable mistake, it may not in his case have been a crime. After that vote we are informed that Senator Turner voted with the independents every time and was staunch and true in the contest on the maximum freight bill. We make this statement voluntarily. Senator Turner has asked no vindication from us. But we have no intention of doing any man injustice, and hasten to make this reparation on the mere suggestion that we may have done him a wrong. A DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF IT. We last week copied some remarks of Mr. Calhoun's appropo of the Alliance and the new party movement. We make another extract this week. Let the reader remember that democracy is part of Calhoun's daily life, a necessary to him as the air he breathes. Kemem bcring this, the significance of trt fol lowing will be appreciated, hut, like thousands of other stauuch democrats, ho may have concluded to forsake the stranded party. We hope so. There U room for him and all the rest in the inde pendent ranks. Here is the extract: Gov. Boyd has vetoed the Newberry maximum rate bill At the same time he condemned the democratic party to death, A kind fortune may commute the sentence to penal servitude for life. On the one hand were the governor party and hit constituent, urging him to sign tho bill. On the other were the railroads. He chose the side of the railroads. The party I dead, a a re stilt.
