Our thoughtful readers no doubt pe
rused with interest the article of Hon.
H. W. Hardy which was In our issue of
May 21st, That article fairly and ably
stated the issue that is now before the
people of this state, and which must be
decided at the election next November.
That Usue is shall the corrupt ring
rule of the old party politics of tte past
twenty years continue or shall honesty
and purity prevail in public affairs?
Shall corrupt partisanship rule in the
deliberations of our supreme court?
or shall that court confine itself to de
ciding questions of law alone? These
are the issues sharp and clear, and the
battle for the county offices, the battle
for the county treasuries, the battle for
supreme judge, is to be fought upon
those issues. , It goes without saying
that the result of that battle is of vital
importance to the welfare of tbe people
of this state.
Let us face a few leading facts in this
matter. Tne system under which oar
state and county treasuries are now
managed is a corrupt and demoralizing
system. The public funds are loanwi
for the nrivate benefit of the treasurers.
TK.t u . i.oro hold statement, and is
shocking to the moral sense of every
honest man. But It is literally true,
though well known to be In violation of
law. That the treasurers are taken
from a respectable class, and that they
have a plausible excuse for their course,
does not alter the fact. ,
Under this system the state and coun
ty treasuries are plums of the first wa
ter. The state treasury is werth nu.uuu
per year. The canuiuate tor state trea
surer may expend I20.C00 for an election,
or to retain his position, and still have
left a sum largely In excess of the pro
fits of any ordinary private business.
An averago county treasury is wortn
from 110,000 to 115,000 per year a sura
greatly exceeding any amount the men
who are generally elected can secure in
any other manner. . Ihese facts account
for a large amount of the corruption oi
our current politics. Men freely spend
money to secure these prizes, enl hav
ing secured them, they dishonestly re
coup themselves for their own slippery
expenditures. Docs any one doubt that
a man who will obtain an ctllce corruptly
will use it fraudulently? Would men
put their money In if they d!d not ex
pect to take it out, with large increase?
Now let us bring these facts home.
How much, oa an average, will candi
dates spend for an election in Lancaster
county? Is $1,000 to 4,000 an exces
sive figure! t We believe not. Say
$3,000. If that Is true it fixes the
amount that is unjustly taken out of
the pockets of the people of this county
each year. This is the issue in the
counties. The expenditure of money
te secure elections corrupts and de
bauches the public service. The loan
ing bf public funds for private use of
fers a brilliant prize for such expendi
tures of money. .
Let us say, in the next election, all
over tbe state, that county officers shall
have only the salaries allowed by law,
and that all interest on public moneys
shall be turned into the treasuries.
If we do this next fall, we will be apt
to elect a legislature the year following
whose committee to investigate the
state treasury will not be bull-dozed
by the treasurer, or make a white-wash
ing report after he has refused to an
swer questions.
The reason the penitentiary contracts
and business were not investigated
the reason the contest was not tried
was because the state treasury of Ne
braska was worth $40,000 per year.
On these facts men of all parties can
join us, because by these facts men of
all parties are being plundered.
There are some other things that are
of vital importance to our party. One
is that wo shall make no fusion with
other parties. No prty everentered in
at that door without loss of prestige,
character and principle. A fusion
means a trade for profit, aud a surren
der of some modicum of principle as a
quid pro quo. Let us have none of it.
Again, if we cannot nominate first
class men men of principle, honor and
integrity men who have nursed in
something like patriotism with their
mother's milk, and have incorporated
it into their blood and bone, and feel it
with every heart beat, mi no nomina
tions. If we cannot improve, let us not
go backward. Remember, our watch
word is reform, our motto extthior. Re
member that as we have raised a higher
standard fcr public worth so will we be
judged by a higher standard. What
would do for an old party man will not
do for an independent.
And now, are you ready for the fray?
All along the line the word Is, forttant!
This advance is for the outposts, the
pickets, the redans that command the
fortress we must capture in Wi'l.

We don't care to srPJ the rules usl
in selecting: juror to the selection of
judges. We propose to reform the Su
preme conrt next fall, to the' extent of
one judge, and we want a man of strong
conviction and honest impulse to re'
form it with. This man is t3 be had
and will be elected.
So in our district courts. Some cf
them need ref jroiing, and all of them
need men whi are on the side of the
peop'.e instead of on the side of tbe
corporations. The Supreme court of
this state is on the side of the corpora
tions, and the corporations secure dis
trict judges whenever they can. and use
them to corrupt and pervert the stream
of justice at its very fountain head.
The proposition that the State Bar As
sociation shall nominate a candidate for
Supreme Judge is simply a dodge to
prevent the independents from electing
one, which all men see is inevitable if
matters take their natural course. But
it is a dodge that will not work.
Now, there is no time to delay !n this
matter. 1 he wires are now being laid.
Be looking out for your candidates. Be
sure that every one of them are sound on
the principles of the Independent party
and be sure that no one of them gradu
ates from a corporation attorneyship to
a judicial position. K jmember, an elec
tive judiciary cainot be a non-partisan
judiciary. We mean by this that under
an elective system judges will be mem
bers of parties, and have partisan tend
encies. This does not necessarilyniake
them bad judges. The poison of our
judiciary has been corporation influence.
This is to be rigidly guarded against.
And as a preliminary guard it is well to
remember that the present cry for non
partisan judges is intended to secure
republican judges, which is nearly sy
nonymous with corporation judges.
It is well to remember how Judge
Norval was placed upou the Supreme
bench, and see to it that no district judge
is selected in the same manner.
XEBR.iSK.l FARM MORTGAGES.
The Omaha ee, the American Econo
mist and the New York Sun claim that it
has been officially ascertained by the
Nebraska bureau of labor and industrial
statistics that only two farms in seven
in Nebraska are encumbered with mort
gages, and but one mortgage in eigat is
given for borrowed money. It is a pity
that this is not true, but it is not.' Tho
Nebraska bureau of labor and industrial
statistics has ascertained no such things
as these papers claim. We have con
sulted the latest report of that bureau,
and also made it a personal visit, and
find that they know no more about farm
mortgages In Nebraska than the man in
the moon, except, that Sarpy county is
"sized up" In the mortgage line. The
report claims that Sarpy is a represen
tative county, and that mortgage statis
tics with reference to that county will
held good In all parts of the state. Let
us see whether it will. Sarpy is the
smallest county in the state, and is bor
dered on the north by Douglas county
and Omaha, on the east by the Missouri
river, and on the south and west by the
Platte. Therefore we see that it is a
suburb of Omaha, and in the oldest and
richest portion of the state. And they
go there to give us a sample of our farm
mortgage indebtedness! What non
sense. Custer county occupies a central
portion of Nebraska.. Why don't you
give us some figures on that county!
TURX ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY.
For many years past the government
has been periodically helping Wall
street out of her financial scrapes by
taking government bonds at their matur
ity value and a round premium. At the
present time, as the result of the thou
sand million congress lately adjourned,
Wall street has an opportunity to return
the compliment, and does so by grant
ing an extension of tituo on $23,000,000
of 4, per cents, consenting to hold them
at 2 per cent. The poor banks have
long asserted that their circulation did
not pay. But rather than surrender
the bonds on whicb it is based they will
submit to a reduction of 2 J per cent In
terest. It is likely that they would ac
cept government bonds without any In
terest rather than lose the government
backing to their banks.
THE RXSC'L T OF HERA'S Y.
The trial of Dr. Briggs will result ia
the severence of Union Theological
Seminary from Its connection with the
Presbyterian Synod. The Directors of
the Seminary met a few days ago, only
three of the twenty-six being absent.
Twenty-two out of the twenty-three
present voted to sustain Dr. Briggs,
and Ignore ihe action of the General
Assembly. This action Is certain to
provoke wide discussion in the church,

foes of Dr. llriggs can predict.

Something, sometime'. The came
adopted by he Cincinnati conference
for the new party differs slightly from
that adopted by the independent party
in this state. This is fjuite an impor
tant point. The new ballot law of this
state authorizes any party which cast
one per cent of the vote at the last pre
ceding convention to nominate candi
dates in the usual way. In other cases
the nomination' must be by petition, in
the manner provided by the law. This
method involves much time and trouble.
If the name cf tbe Nebraska party is
changed to conform to that of the new
national party, tbe benefit of the one
per cent provision would be lost. For
that reason we are opposed to any such
change. The names are nearly identi
cal and mean the same thine. As far
as this state is concerned the national
and state parties are composed of iden
tically the same material. If we are
compelled to nominate by petitions
much embarrassment and many mis
carriages will result. We trust, there
fore, that no change will t attempted
before the next state convention.
'THERE IS REST FOR THE WEARY?
The hair-restorer problem is happily
solved.' Heaven opens before the great
army of the bald-headed. Scalp-grafting
is the glorious remedy. What daz
zling possibilities it presents. There is
no limit to tnera except that of finan
cial ability. Was he dissatisfied with
the color of his hair? he can select the
next crop of any shade, from burning
red to darkest eboDy. Does he prefer a
wave or a cur ! Chooso the field from
which grafts may le taken the dark
Italian, the Circassian blonde or the
curly African. Surely science is com
ing in on the home siretch with grand
est strides; and tbe number of the bald
headed that may be rescued can only
be conjectured. Like Dr. Faustus,
many an old man would have traded
with Mepuistophiles for a new lease of
life and a new head of hair, before this
relief came were not the fellow below
too sharp to buy his own,
A new Industry looms into view.
Dog's bone and cat's brains have been

MLXXY, VERY!
Tbe widow of President Harrison's
brother, Archibald J. Harrison, Lieut.
Colonel of the 27th Indiana volunteers,
has just been allowed a pension, and
been paid $S,329.03 thereon. The funny
part of this business is that this claim
was tiled early in President Arthur's
administration, and was disallowed.
It was again filed in President Cleve
land's time and met the same fate.
Shortly after Hanison's inauguration it
was again filed, and was then advanced
by slow but sure stages to final success.
It Is good to be the widow of a Presi
dent's brother. Mrs. Harrison will now
draw $99.05 from Uncle Sam every
three months, for life.

now, and we trust will, be placed upon

who are in full sympathy with its ob

joining by the disreputable association
involved. Mr. Bigeiow, the present

You farmers have been told for many
years that the Democratic party was
opposed to national banks. Now the
next time you hear that, you ask the
man if he can find any Democratic na
tional platform since 1868, that has op
posed national banks. You will find
that he will be confused for if he is post

Tbe Mistake of the Cincinnati Conven
tion. T(Z.
Fayette Co., W. Va.,June2, 18917
Eijitok Alliance: I regret very
much that circumstances over which I
had no control prevented my attending
the Cincinnati conference. I have read
carefully tho proceedings of the con
vention, and must say, with one excep
tion, the platform is all that could have
beeu looked for. I refer to the trans
portation plank. I look upon it as a
compromise measure, and any com
promise shows weakness. It demands
"national control and supervision" of
transportation. This means nothing
more than what we now have, an Inter-
State commerce law. I think we have
enough of that kind of control. It fur
ther says "and if this control and su
pervision does not remove the abuses
now existing then we demand govern
ment ownership of transportation" etc.
Why give those galling, despotic rail
road monopolies another lease of life.
that tbey may fasten their poisonous
fangs into tbe commerce of this country
and fortify themselves against any ap
proach of justice the people are de
manding.
The first clause of the transportation
plank is certainly a very weak structure
for a platform upon which the advanc
ing millions now falling into line must
stand. It is entirely too frail. The
convention should have put a trans
portation plank in our platform that
had no uncertain sound. The trans
portation question is second in import
ance in this great political revolution
that is now going on, and it is a clear
case to my mind that this vexed ques
tion can never be settled until every
foot of railroad, telegraph and telephone
line, and all transportation and com
munication, is turned over to the gov
ernment a:-:d operated in the interest of
all the people. Let this question be
now raised and thoroughly ventilated
before the convention which meets on
the 22nd of next Febuary. There let
the party demand without fear or favor
the immediate turning over of all pub
lio carriers to the government.

Happenings in Omaha.
The outcome of the Cincinnati con
ference seems to put new life into the
independents of Omaha. The next
meeting of the independent club prom'
ises to be the fargest ever held. Hon
Allen Root is a prominent member of
the club and his speeches have made
several converts.
The tailors of Omaha are on the right
track. They are having a few meetings
twice a month for the purpose of dis
cussing the issues of the day. Several
other unions and K. of L. assemblies
are going to do the same. This is a
wise plan and is certain to be a great
factor toward political education.
Rosey has gone to Europe. Well,
well, your correspondent has predicted
that he would sell the Bee or do some
thing else. Before starting he says In
his farewell letter that for the last fif
teen years the federated corporations
ave dictated the nominations from
constable up to governor of tho republi
can party. We wonder why such a con
scientious (?) man as Rosey would sup
port such a party when ho knew this.
He seems to have just found it out.
Well, after a man loses his country cir
culation and then soon after loses his
city circulation it is enough to make
him hunt up the cause . You can never
redeem yourself, Roy. Even five
cents a week and all the men you can
hire to solicit subtcriptions won't help
you much.

ECHOESOFTHE CINCINNATI CON
VENTION. The Xew Nation:
The Cincinnati conference ha in
creased the probability of throwinir the
j election of letnJ into Congress, so think
the Philadelphia Telegram, republican.
Surprised That Americans can Pool Their
Wants.
Zion't Herald. Boston: It was not ex"
pected that such a mob of discontents,
representing the most discordant views
and classes farmers, Federal and Con
federate soldiers, members of labor or
ganizations, prohibitionists, greenback
ers. nationalists. Christian socialists.
female suffragists, aad disgruntled poli
ticians could harmonize on anything-
but, to the surprise of everybody, they
did, and speedily too.
Another Sober View.
Boston Transcript: Their attack onr
the national banks is probably the weak
est part of their platform. But it will
be very unwise to despise the strength,
of a party which cast so many votes as
did this, in another guise, lost fall. The
crusade for cheap money and lighter
taxation swept several of the Western
s'ates from the regular party mooring?,
as everybody knows; and it i3 exceed
ingly doubtful if they can be got back

the next presidential election. It is this
fact which imparts great significance to
tne Cincinnati convention.
A Demand for Honest Admission.
Xete York Recorder: Free coinage of
silver, which tbe Cincinnati platform
afso insists on, is not half as dingerous
as tbe present system, which forces the
government to buy all the silver offered
at the market price and store it array in
brick vaults, where it is of not the slight
est use to anybody. In their heart of
hearts, the great majority of republican
leaders know that this is true, and that
the time will come when they will have
to acknowledge It openly. The work
done on tbe banks of the Ohio this week
should convince them that the best time
to say so is now.
Tbe Farmers' Convention at Columbus,
Ohio.
The vote in the Farmers' convention,
at Columbus, last week, againsi putting
a people's party in the field in Ohio was
6t to 63. These farmers were mainly
old republicans, and tbe narrow vote
shows that the people's party has a deer
hold upon the farmers of the state. P.
P. Elder, speaker of the Kansas House
of Representatives, say's that the peo
ple's party will have a ticket In the field
in Ohio, in spite of the action of tbe
Columbus convention. Other new
party leaders say the same thing.
He has his Doubts, but we will see.
American Spectator, Boston: I doubt,
however, if the nationalistic party will
evince any considerable strength during
the ensuing decade. But it is quite pos
sible, if not probable, that through the
channel of the republican party many
socialistic measures may be passed, as
the trend of this great party is unmis
takably toward paternalism and cen
tralization. A Generality That Glitters Indeed.
The Hartford Courant: The bold re
formers composing tbat Cinciunati plat
form committee shied when they came
to the tariff for all the world like a
parcel of unreformed, timid, time serv
ing, vote-hunting politicians. The word
tariff does not appear in their platform,
and tariff-ieform is equally conspicuous
by absence. The nearest approach they
make to tbe subject is in a not dazzling
ly glittering generality to the effect that
no kind of taxation, national, state or
municipal, should be used to build up
one interest or class at the expense of
another.
There is a West.
Well, the convention has been held.
Its work is over and the results are be
fore the country. It was earnest, en
thusiastic an 1 harmonious; and from
which springs the name of the people's
party, with all that the name implies, a
political platform characterized by great
discretion, the enunciation of industrial
reforms and the grand ultimatum of free
cointge. All this is elaborated in due
form and expression.
But lh8 point which impresses us and
attracts our special attention lies iu the
fact that the pervading spirit and ani
mating thought of the convention was
decidedly and unequivocally western.
It dominated its sentiment and action
throughout. It developed intelligence,
resolution, scope and courage. All of
which leads to the conclusion that the
time has como when it must be beard
with respect, aud when its opinions and
conclusions must be met by the east
with fairness and just appreciation.
And hence it must now and henceforth
be understood, there is a west. That it
means something and cannot be safely
ignorea. its development to the su
preraest point is apparent. "Empire"
i the culmination, und to this it must
come at last.
