    THE FAKMEKS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY , SEPT. 17, 1891.
SPECIAL ATTENTION ! !
We invite special attention to our
propositioa in this week's issue lor a
subscription to place The iUAKCE in
the hands ct Ttcenty Thousand republican
and democrat' utters of this slate. We
will do this for four thousand dollars;
and this sum should be easily raised by
friends of the reform movement. There
should be four thousand men spring up
at once and plant one deilur each for
this purpose. But while we can hardly
expect this, many will send much more.
We have already received many orders
for the paper on this principle.
All subscriptions under this proposi
tion will Le acknowledged weekly in
The Alliance.
Remember our object is to reach those
republicans and democrats who will
not themselves take independe at papers.
There is more rejoicing in heaven over
one sinner that repenteth than over
ninety aud nine who are already saved.
There is no time to lose in this work.
There are still thousands of republicans
and democrats who are in utter dark
ness. Speed the tight!
Cheering News From Cedar County.
Editor Alliance: We have had a
pretty good shaking up of the dry bones
in this county. Hon. 0. Hull, Mr.
Pratt of Merrick, and I. D. Chamber
lain, were here and did noble work.
Mr. Hull spoke at Andrew, Randolph
and Logan Valley. The speech at Lo
gan Valley v.as a masterpiece. Mr.
Hull spoke far two and one-half hours
and converted several hide-bouud re
publicans. Thee gentlemen were fol-'
lowed up by Hon. Win. V. Allen of
Madison, the independent candidate
for district judge of the ninth district,
who spoke at Whitney's Grove, near
Randolph. Judge Allen's speech was
pronounced to lie the finest thing ever
delivered in the county.

The Electric Light Swindle in Lincoln.
Editor Alliance: Experience Is
considered the best school in which to
lear'j, as, one never forgets his experi
ence, espeoially if he pays dearly for it.
To thin rule however there are excep
tions, of which our present electric light
contract is a good example.
Our first contract was only a modified
form of highway robbery. This lot be
ing severe enough to thoroughly cut our
eye teeth we calmly submit to a modifi
cation of this contract to make us pay
about twenty -five per cent more for our
lights than the price stipulated. And
that which surprises mo most is that the
citizens have not raised their protest
long ago.
I think it would be hard to find a citi
zen of Lincoln who would be willing to
admit that our city was not as enter
prising and as willing to take care of
our own interests as our sister Topeka,
and many smaller cities in the United
States. But nevertheless we find To
peka owning her own electric light
plant and lighting the city for less than
iifty per cent of what we are paying to
our electric light company.
Why is it that our taxpayers are will
ing to pay $30,000 more in five years for
lighting our city than is necessary if our
city owned its own plant ? Is it because
a few shares of stock has been distri
buted among some of our influential cit
izens where it would do the most good?
Is it possible that the taxpayers or' this
city are willing to be robbed in order
that the pockets of a few influential pol
iticians nip.y be leathered? No, 1 think
not. The facts are they have never
thought of the subject, and I venture to
say that 73 per cent of our citizens can
not tell to-day what cur lights are cost
ing us.
"But," says one, "the company has
the contract and it is practically let for
ten years. What are we goiDg toco?''
My solution is this: It is conceded that
the contract was let illegally. If so, let
our city council declare it at an end,
and put in a plant of our own, usiDg
the F street water plant as fai as possi
ble, and pay the present company for
their poles, wires and light ail they are
worth or what it would cost to dupli
cate them. If this cannot be done, then
discontinue all of the new lights except
the sixty original for which our contract
calls, aud replace the lights by the city
plant and furnish commercial lighting
at a small profit, which could bo done
at 50 per cent of the present price and
still leave a proiit to the city of 73 to 80
per cent.
Taking into consideration the reduced
price at which incandescent lights could
be had, it would only be a short time
until the revenue from that source alone
would pay for the lighting of our streets
and thereby save that entire item of ex
pense, which at present is in the neigh
borhood of $25,000 per year, thereby
not only giving everyone the benefit of
better light at a reasonable price, but
relieving the tax-payer of one large
item of expense.
"But," says one, "do yon propose to
put in a plant and not make good to
this company the loss they must neces
sarily sustain by putting in such a
plant?" wkich I would answer with a
question: "If you had lost your over
coat or horse and buggy and found it in
possession of the electric company,
would you think it only just that you
should pay them the value of it before
taking possession yourself? Now we
made a contract which was obtained, to
say the least, illegally and by
underhanded means. Th&y have put
in their present plant and it would be
just as reasonable to say the city should
pay rent on Mr. Fitzgerald's large
building by the B. & M. depot, or that
after the B. & M. had built its road into
Lincoln that all others should be barred
unless they pay tribute to the B. & M.,
as it would for the city of Lincoln to be
bound to protect this corporation that
they might continue to lloece its tax
pavers. The fact that throughout the United
States wherever municipal lighting has
been put into effect it hs reduced the
cost on an average of 50 pr cent is
surely evidence euotith to start the cit
izens of Lincoln to thinking, and as the
opportunity is open for action, to act.
We kave Ujen having our experience
and paying well for it, and must con
tinue to pay unless something is done.
Therefore, citizens of Lincoln, I move
you that this subject be thoroughly in
vestigated, ml if there is a possible
chance to better our condition' in this
respect to at once take the proper step
in that direction. As this move has
been seconded by thousands of our best
citizens the question is now opeu for
discussion. Are there any remarks
X.S. B.
; The attempt of the corporations to
organize railway clubs to prevent any
legislation by the farmers has been a
dismal failure. Railroad men have
their eye'i open and they know that
government ownership of railways will
give them mucb better treatment than
they now receive. About all that be
longs to the organization so far is the
railway lawyers. They know if the
government takes the road.) they would
loose a great snap ;nd they will do all
they can to prevent it. There is an
enormous amount of money spent in
litigation that would be entirely cut off
by the government ownership. The
lawyers know it full well and that is
why they rally to the support of our
John M. Thurston who says his party
has the Alliauce killed and that his ser
vices aro not needed in Nebraska, so he
is going to Ohio to help Bill McKinley
finish the gref.t scheme he has on bands
now.
McKinley it is believed has bought
out Campbell and in turn Farmer
Wheeler of Iowa has Isold out to Boies,
and our Wail street folks think by mak
ing such trades as thp.t and organizing
the railway men they could probably
defeat the people's movement. But
they might just as well save their extra
efforts for they will accomplish naught
at such work. Several railway men in
Omaha have spoken to your corres
pondent about the organization, and
they all agree that it is only a scheme
hatched up by the general oflicers, and
that few if any real working railway
men aro in the order.
Douglas county independents put a
straight ticket in the field and it is con
sidered an extra goad selection of men.
The convention was harmonious from
beginning to end. No one wanted to
fuse.
The Omaha Bet still declares the
county had better loso McKinley than
Sherman. That reveals the cloven foot
of the Bee and shows that it cares much
less for protection than it does of the
money question. The Ben had just as
well quit, for it is now making itself
more and more ridiculous every Issue.
The Alliance last week showed up its
"editor" in good chape and those ar
ticles were in demand by the Omaha
people. The committee appointed by
the K. of L. to collect papers have sev
eral calls for last week's issue. More
and mors the money question comes to

The Oregon Alliance Herald takes up
the assertion of a prominent loen agent
that one good crop with fair prices will
destroy the industrial agitation, and
asks the following questions:
We would like to ask if one good crop
with fair prices will destroy railroad
extortion?
Will it equalize the burdens of taxa
tion? Will it stop usury extortion ?
Will it do away with child labor?
Will it give work to the millions of
idle men id the country at remunerative
wages?
Will it give the millions of female em
ployes living wages?
Will it destroy speculation in land,
the heritage of God's children?
Will it destroy speculation in thef8od
products of the world?
Will it prevent the lockout of honest
working people, thereby forcing up
prices by limiting the output?
Will it destroy the jobbery that now
exists in every branch of the public ser
vice, wringing millions out of the peu
ple to salisfy the greed of a lot of slick
schemers?
Will it secure an equal and exact ad
ministration of justice to all people
alike?
Will it shorten the hours of toil?
Will it stop Rambling in futures and
options'
Will it remonetize silver and restore
free and unlimited coinage?
Will it loosen the hold of Wall Street
on the production of the country?
Will it stop stock watering and wring
the billions of water out of the funded
securities of the country?
Will it correct allorsny of thedamna
ble ills that have grown out of the past
evil administration by the old political
parties?

test involves f-XK),000.

lated in the by-laws of the company that
no insurance will take effect until we

the leading institution of its kind in tho
state. Their new quarters surpass any
thing west of Chicatro. They now have
room for 500 students and aro employ

are rolling in fmm all quarters and the
fall term is opening most auspiciously.
Rohrbough Bros, are locating scores of
young men in places to work for tneir
board while in school and spiemua posi

The short-hand and type writing de

Prof. Mosher, the principal of this de

SILVER MINING IN THE NATION.
Companies Organized to Develop the In
dustry in the Indian Territory,
Tishomi.voo, I. T., Sept. 15. For a
period of years the Chickasaw Indians
have known of rich deposits of the
precious miuerals in their country, but
tearing lest when it came to the knowl
edge of the white men the scenes of the
northwest would be re-enacted, and
they guarded their secret carefully and
have not even ventured to work ths
mines themselves. Oct. 2, 1890, the
Chickasaw legislature passed an act per
mitting the leasing of these mineral
lands. Upon the passage of this act the
Anvil Rock Mining company took out a
charter. The incorporators were old
citizens (either full bloods or sqnaw
men) of the Chickasaw Nation. The
Silver Queen Mining company of Ard
more, of which R. Stuart Rnmin and
Samuel Zuckennan are president and
manager, leased the territory covered
by the charter of the Amort Rock Min
ing company. Assays of one sample of
ore show $31.00 of silver to the ton. Old
miners declare the mineral deposit to be
the richest they have ever seen.

You can save enough on just a small bill of goods bought at Bennett's to pay a
good many miles of railroad fare. But if you can't come mail us your order.
We sell nearly everything on earth, and if you don't know from your own ex
perie:ce that all our prices are lower than any body else's just ask some of your
neighbors. Some of them are our customers and they're a better advertisement
than a newspaper. Send for our price list.
