J. Y. M. Swigebt, Ch'n Ex. Com. A LAWYER ON THE SITUATION. The Enlargement of the Powers of the General Government. Charles T. Murray, in a letter from New York City: "It is generally con ceded, I believe, " said a well-known western lawyer of prominence, "that we are not only growing more power ful as a nation year by year, but that we are drifting slowly and surely to ward what is called a paternal govern ment. Both of the great political par tics have contributed to that end. We have only to study the record of recent congresses to note the rapidity with which we are traveling in that direction. The whole tendency of national legisla tion is to the enlargement of the powers and the extension of the duties of the general government. Of late years my legal practice has involved some of the broader constitutional questions aad this gradual change has forced itself npon my attention. The political aspect of the new order of things does not dis turb me. On the contrary this gradual modification of our original system must be regarded as the legitimate and beneficial result of a higher state of civ ilization. Whether it is admitted by all men or not we may as well admit that such a change is in progress. There are those who lament the change. I do not. There are those who think this departure from the early tenets of our fathers is the forerunner of decline and dissolution. But they are growing fewer every year. Even the great body of the democratic party has cut loose from state rights and strict construction and become converted to the pxternal school. In my section of the country the proposition for the general govern ment to assume ownership and charge of the telegraph lines and railroads is no longer looked upon as undesirable, but if put to a vote in a general election it would receive the sanction of three fourths of the people. If you and I live ten yeius longer we'll probably see it accomplished. Postal savings banks willftTlow, and " "The K aning of government money on farm mortgages!" was suggested. "Very likely. Why not! Why shouldn't the farmers have equal right with the national bankers?" "Are they all socialists up there in the northwest? "If you call that socialism three-fourths of us are socialists. Not in the sense of wishing to turn things over by force, but as desiring a paternal government by law, yes nearly all." This frank avowal from the lips of a hard-headed lawyer and wealthy citi zen, who makes his temporary home at the Hoffman house, was enough to de prive a man of his breath. He con tinued: "My statement is not a speculative one at all. Nor has it any political sig nificancein the narrow and common acceptation of that term. I am a repub lican, but never was in politics and never will be. I am speaking now as an independent citizen. I am speaking too, only of the people of the coun try I know something about. Per haps there are other sections where the sentiment is the same from what I read of the Farmers' Alliance in the south and from the recent action of the railroad employes in this state, and from general report of sentiment elsewhere I think this idea is becoming general but I do not insist on that. The cry of pa ternal government is no longer a bug bear. In principle it is not a new de parture. It is now only a question of growth. We begin to recognize this, from the supreme court down." A Polk County Brother is Very Much in Earnest. Shelby, Neb. Editor Farmers' Alliance: As one who is deeply interested in the success of the great reforms advocated and adopted by the independent party of this state, I am greatly grieved at any sign of discord and dissension in our ranks. From the very beginning of this popular uprising against political iniquity in high places, it has been the policy of the enemies of popular gov ernment to weaken the forces of re form by arousiag and fomenting fac tional jealousy and mistrust, and to this end they resort to every vile meth od that experienced cunning can devise and devilish malice execute. Notice the craft with which they seek to un deimine the influence of our ablest and most trusty leaders; men whose social and political lives are above reproach, and therefore offer no vulnerable point for the ordinary political weapons of defamation and slander. Knowing that political independence is the very life blood of our movement these treacherous assassins of reform these Satraps and slaves of a vile system of political despotism hypocritically ap peal to that spirit of independence by representing and denouncing our tried and true leaders as "Bosses" and "Dic tators." That our enemies should pick out our best and bravest champions as shining marks for their cruel and destructive missiles is but natural, but that there should be men in oar own ranks who either igaoraotly or maliciously tura their weapons agaiast their own faith ful leaders is a matter for profound sorrow and bitter shame. Ingratitude seems to be the first reward of all true reformers. There are always swiue who will turn and rend the man who casts his pearls before them. If the men who are devoted to the destruction of our cause can only find traitors and fools enough amongst us to second their efforts by cutting off our own heads, their warfare will soon be ac complished and our hopes lost. Those independents who cannot see the trail of the serpent in the Adams eouity resolution, nor the cloven hoof of the enemy in the resolution clandes tinely interpolated inio the committee's report at Lancaster county convention should have their eyes pried open with a crowbar or undergo some equally effective optical operation. I hope there are but few amongst us who cannot distinguish between a man who by conspicuous ability and devo tion has earned an honorable place in our councils and a man who by an apti tude for political scheming works him self into the dishonorable position of "dictator." As long as there are men amongst us calling themselves independents and reformers, who instead of subscribing to some paper devoted to the interests of our cause, carry home bundles of old party sheets filled with venomous at tacks on our party leaders, so long will we be in danger from internal discord. There are Hundreds of men amongst us who read the malicious lies published in the corporation-subsidized papers every day and never see tbem nailed in the independent press on the morrow. I don't care how good a standing a man may have in the reform organization to which he belongs, if he does not sup port and encourage some of the few apers which are honestly and fear essly defending his cause amidst the shot and bell of the hired mercenaries of classes and corporations he is a skulker, and if in addition to this de linquency he subscribes for the powder ana snot or the enemy ne is eitaer a fool or a traitor. Yours fraternally. Alliance Independent. The Home Protective Association. The alarming rapidity with which the lands ef our nation are passing into the hands of capitalists and non-resident owners appeals to all patriots for im mediate action. "Calling on all such to aid us we declare our aim and purpose to be TO MAKE OCCUPANCY AND USE THE SOLE TITLE TO LAND. To this end we demand of congress laws: First Prohibiting alien ownership of land. Second Prohibiting excessive hold ings of land. Third Prohibiting ownership by syn dicates and corporations of any land not actually used by them. We demand that the government shall obtain all land now held by any of the above classes, paying for it with full legal tender greenback money at such a rate as to prevent the parties now holding it from obtaining any un earned value. We demand that the taxation ot un used or rented lands be such as will take for the community all the unearned increment value. We agree to work for the election of such representatives and officers as will pass and enforce such laws. Mean while we will endeavor to secure to ourselves a fair portion of the products of our toil by refusing to compete with each other for the use of land. Realiz ing that the object of all foreclosures of land is to obtain a greater rato of usury than they receive as interest we will base the rent to be paid for land not higher than 10 per cent on one-third the actual value of the land. A share rent being fairer (to the renter in poor years) we will give one-fourth share for poor land or one-tbird (or good land with stood buildinsrs believing it will amount to about the same thing in a series of years. J. W. bMiTH, Pres. Mrs. J. T. Kellik, Sc. An Open Letter to Uncle Sam, by Jacob Beck. Decatur, Neb., July 17, 1891. My Dear Uncle Sam : Josh Billings once said, 'Those people who are always telling what they would do if they were there, never happen to be there." Now I am going to tell you what I would do if I were the president of these United States. Is my message to congress I would boldly affirm that the private ownership cf land was wronjr in principle and mischievous in results. I would recommend that steps be taken to reclaim all lands by who ever owned, whether by syndicates, corporations or individuals. I should be careful to state that confiscation should not be thought of for a moment; but the lands should be bought at a fair price; and then leased to citizens on such terms as would enable all to pro cure permanent homes. I would recom mend that the bureau of agriculture take steps to negotiate with the nine millions of citizens whose homes are mortgaged to the end of selling out to the government for a price that would liquidate their mortgage indebtedness, and in all cases giving the present owner the preference of leasing from the government a limited amount of the acres thus disposed of at from one to three per cent per annum on the amount he received. This policy would relieve every man who has a mortgage on his farm and would in crease the volume of money now in circulation many millions. If any re fused to sell to the government on reasonable terms, he should be let alone to make the best of his mtuation that he could, until it became necessary to apply the riftht ot "eminent domain" to bis holdings for the purpose of fur nishing homes for the destitute. That we may be true to the principle of "equal rights to all and special priv ileges to none," I would also recom mend that all citizens who wished to do so might sell their farms to the govern ment and become lease-holders of a limited amount (not over 160 acres.) In this wav the lands could all be trim. f erred back to the people or the govern ment where they properly belong, and not ajar given to the orderly move ment of industry, commerce or educa tion. I should remind them that to accom plish this would require the ircuing of a vast amount of paper currency which should be a legal tender for all debts, and that every dollar would be backed up by lands always appreciating in value as population and the demand for land increased. I should call the attention of conorress to the existing fact of four millions of people out of employment; also to millions mora who are working at star vation wages, for taeir present and permanent relief I would recommend that congress take steps to Improve all her lands that are lit for farming and lease the same in limited quantities to such of nor citizens as wished to occupy them and would pay a reasonable per centage for their use and occupancy. In tr.5 way constant and profitable em ployment m: y be given to all and the governmeut derive a revenue from the operation. The nation would derive great benefit from the moral effect of securing to each family a home on such terms, and the curse of mortgaged homes would cease forever. As idleness is the parent of untold mischief, to prevent it I would recom mend that the government be always engaged in carrying on some public work, like the construction of the Hen- epin canal or the building ot railroads where needed, and that such loads be operated by the government for the benefit of the whole people as is our postal system. I would further recommend that inas much as the liquor traffic is a national evil, that national measures be taken to prohibit it. I would advise that the government manufacture all that is needed for med icinal and scientific uses; and that each postmaster be an authorized agent to keep it on hand in sealed packages to be sold only as the law designated. And if any obtain it under false pretences deal with them as we now do with those who violate postal laws. I would recommend that all men have access to all minerals beneath the earth's surface by simply paying the damages done to the agricultural inter ests of the lease holders whose lauds are entered upon and worked for min eral. This would break down all mo nopoly in coal, salt and minerals of all kinds. Understand me, uncle, I don't want to be piesident. The highest attainable state in this life is a home in the coun try. I don't want to exchange my cot tage on the farm for the White house in Washington City. I and wife and children are far happier here in Ne braska than we would be there. After the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon in quired of a lad. who had brought him some bread aud butter and coffee, where he lived. The lad told him. "Your father has a cottage there and a few acres of land, has be not?" inquired the fallen hero. "Ye's sir," said the lad. "Theft is happiness!" ejaculated Napo leon. The glories of Jena, of Av.ster litz, of Borodino and Marengo faded into nothingness when compared with the calm perennial joys of a cottage and a few acres of land. Yes, dear uncle, I have struggled long and hard to get me a home. I have got it; and I find it so congenial with the wants of my nature that I now propose to do all I can to assist every man and woman on the earth to the same condition. And I have simply indicated to you how I should proceed were I the president of these United States. Yours truly, Jacob Beck. THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM. INTERESTING THE MATTERS LADIES. FOR The Correct StylesStrictly In Con fidenceThe Penalty of Success Confidence of Mother and Daughter-- Feminine Carpenter. The Correct Styles. Morning gowns of wash silk are charmingly cool for summer neglige. They are usually of whiteground with small crossbars of distinct stripes of rose, reseda, blue or black, with selv age ruffles as trimming, and ribbons matching the colors of the design. The best models have continuous breadths, with waist and skirt in one. They are made quite full over a fitted lining, and are confined by waist rib bons in rows of a corselet, or set high in the back and crossed to a point in front. A graceful gown of white silk barred with reseda green has a yoke front concealed by wide pleated re- rs of the silk, the pleats falling lengthwise from shoulders to bust, then graduated to a point at the waist-line. The back is pleated at the neck and shoulders and shirred across the waist. A reseda belt ribbon of satin two inches wide is shirred in many close rows a length of three or four inches and sewed permanently to the back at the line of the waist, then brought forward to a point in front and tied with long ends. The front is closed below this ribbon, and a jabot of the silk with selvage finish is set down the seam . The full straight sleeves are gathered at armhole and wrist, and two selvage frills fall on the hand; a band of ribbon passes around the wrist and is knotted on the seam. At the back of the neck is a flaring pleated collar, while in front the rib bon is set to form a point below the throat and finished with a bow. Wrappers of challi or printed mous seline de laine are made for those who require wool garments even in mid summer. Frills of Bilk and velvet rib bon bows are their trimming. Fine French nainsook of a delicate color, pale lavender, pink, or china blue, is made up in dainty wrapper gowns of loose, comfortable shape that serve as lounging-wrappers in the daytime and also as night-gowns. They are made full and straight, with large sleeves, wide collar, and broad cuffs, with points or scallops button holed on the edges. The front is tuck ed from throat to waist, and button ed straight down the left side, with a scalloped frill as trimming. The back is tucked as a yoke, and there are button-holes worked at near in tervals around the waist, through which a ribbon is passed to draw the gown closely about the wearer. Sim ilar wrappers are made of white nain sook woven in lace-like stripes and powdered with lavender or blu fleur-de-lis, coral branches, or polka dots of bright color. Domestlo Life In Paris, Life in Paris means what itdoes in all large cities; the good and the bad, writes Edward W. Bok in The Ladies' Home Journal for August. The casual tourist sees, as a rule, only one side. As a race, the French are merry-making people; their very natures seek and crave enjoyment. But their amusements are, therefore, not necessarily of an order below the ken of respectability. It has been my pleasure to see something of French domestic life, and to hear more of it, frojn sources away, from prejudice. The eflertton which etlsts between the French father and his daughter is beautiful and almost xritual. Home and family means as much to him as it does to the resident of any other city under the sun. The French moth er is not only a cook par excellence, but a perfect type of housekeeper. By nature, she is quick, and she accom plishes much more with leas exertion than does her English sister. The education of her children is as a gos pel to her. Her religious faith in strong, and she instills it into her children at the domestic board and at eventide. The parents live out-of-doors, but it is tare, indeed, that you see children on the street of Paris after reason able hours. They are taught to find their cheif amusement in the home; and everything is done by the French father and mother to see that the home is attractive to their children. One of the most beautiful sights in the world is to see a well regulated French family, where you will hnd the atmos phere redolent with domesticity. - Strictly In Confidence. Women are certainly a queer lot," said a man the other day. "You nev er can tell what they mean by what they say. Now, a young lady invited me to go to a musicale with her not long since, and on the way confided to me that she was going to England this summer to spend a few weeks with the Duchess of Manchester and a few weeks with the Duchess of Marlborough. Naturally I was overwhelmed by this social disclosure, and when she begged me to keep it a profound secret I as sured her that no word of so import ant announcement should ever cross my lips. You can fancy my surprise when several times during that even ing, above the crash of pianos, the hum of conversation and the tinkle of laughter, I heard a shrill little voice repeating, 'A few weeks with the Duch ess of Manchester and a few weeks with the Duchess of Marlborough.' I don't fancy there was a soul in thai room to whom she did not confide litV secret before the evening was over and the fun of the thing is that she has not gone to England at all, and I very much question whether she ever intended to.- Now, what was her ob ject in telling that stuff?" Guileless youth! New York Advertiser. QUEER HABITS OF MONKEYS. When It Camas to Eating Ths? Art TJn mlttgatad Gluttons. Thinking over this curious subjeot the survival of the fittest as far at the lower animal creation goes, It has Its traglo side. I cannot help present ing a monkey trait says a writer In Harper's Weekly, Is a monkey really bad at heart? Or shall I say a good word for him, and consider that he may be Intent on doing what he be lieves is a kindness to a slckenfng mate when he is actually harming him? Prince Erapotklno, who is a nihilist sentimentalist, in an article en titled "Mutual Aid Among Animals." tells of the assistance chimpanzees, sajous, sakis, mandrills, and baboons give one another. I can cite, as a5 eye-witness, how one big monkey will take charge of a smaller one, protect him against the bullies in the cage, and act as a horse for his minor friend to mount ' But 1 never saw the bigger divide his bit of apple with the lesser monkey. I yield to no oae in my re spect for the dog, but I have yet to note how Ranger brings a bone with his compliments to Nero. I . have often given two dogs ieir food in the same trencher, but he greedier invariably bolted the avrger share, just as would have dons the vulgar pigs. I have ridden the best-tempered of horses, kind to man and his mates, but a tiger when he was fed, that is towards his own kind, for. when in rough campaign ing, measures of corn on the ear were thrown on the ground, itwas his habit with fore and hind feet and with open jaw to drive off every other horse un til he was satisfied. There is a sick monkey in a cage. At once a careful keeper removes the ill one, or the con tagion spreads. If the invalid is not taken away, the other healthy mon keys will crowd the sick one to death. lhere may be this explanation about it As the' temperature of the ill monkey diminishes that is, if he has no fever the other monkeys may press around him closely so as to keep him warm. Anyhow, by getting on top of him, they smother him and hasten his end. If I were speculative and forgiving to monkeys, I might say that nature had no use for an ail ing monkey, and wanted to get rid of him as expeditiously as possible, and that hence came this curious instinct to the well-to-do monkeys. What truth there may be in the stories told by ranchmen of the speedy death of the crippled steer, despatched by the herd, I do not vouch for. This whole subject is deserving of greater study. As to monkeys, men who have them in charge say, "This crowding of a sick monkey is done through pure cussedness. " Hieratica. New sort of writing paper new principally because it is made after a very old pattern is called "Hierati ca." There are fashions in note paper, as there are fashions in every thing else, and no doubt the fact that hieratica is made like paper ot the ancient priests will be an induce ment for some women to use it. A few men follow these frivolous fashions. It is usually those of the weaker sex who pine for new note-paper and envelopes. It gives them an excuse for writing to their dear but forgotten friends. Hieratica, which is of a dull ivory color, hag a beautiful writing surface and looks very nice with whatever you affect to have printed on your note paper don in chocolate brown. I am told that in a large size it is much used by the parsons who do not preach . extempore sermons. I should expect a sermon read from "the paper of the priests" to have a fine old orthodox flavor. It has one superlative merit, important to parsons with small incomes it is cheap. What It Meant. Wife: "What does it mean in this paper when it says that the young German Emperor expects a call to arms!" Husband: "A call to arms!
