Official Vote of 1890 1891.
We publish this week the oilicial vote
by counties on judges of the Supreme
court and regents of the University for
this year and the oilicial vote for John
H. Powers for governor in 1800. Oar
readers will thus be enabled to compare
the vote in the different counties for
themselves, and judge about the falling
off of the independent vote and its
causes.
It will be seen that the total vote is
57,092 less than last year. Edgertons'
vote is a little more than 2,000 more
than was Powers in 1890. It is very
well known that the stay-at-home vote
was very largely a farmer vote. Al
lowing an equal per cent of this vote to
each of the three parties, and the inde
pendeat vote would show a very large
increase indeed. Allowing that the
stay-at-home vote was largely demo
cratic, the independent vote still shows
a respectable increase.
There is nothing in these returns to
discourage the independents, but every
thing to encourage them. This state is
undoubtedly, safely independent for
1892, not only as far as the legislature
is concerned, but for the people's electo
ral ticket. With Weaver and Polk for
the standard bearers Nebraska can be
counted on to give them a majority, that
is with three straight tickets in the field

MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVEMENT
COKVEXTlOy.
A body calling itself The Commercial
Club, of Kansas City, Mo., has called a
convention under the above title to be
held at Kansas City, Dec. 15th and lGth,
1891. There are a great many men
who think the Almighty has set his seal
of disapproval upon any attempt to im
prove the navigation of the Missouri
river. But the Commercial Club of
Kansas City is not made of this class
On the contrary, the pamphlet it has
issued gives many cogent reasons why
the river should be improved, and some
very taking plans for doing it. These
plans involve appropriations for $20,
000,000 at the rate of $2,000,000 a year,
and ten yearsj time. Like most great
schemes an appropriation looms up
back of them now-a-days.
But we hope the Kansas City gentle
men will have a good time, as we have
no doubt they will.
Local Ail ffisciiw.
TL) bt ugar contentkm in Lincoln
the 17th of this month Is s meeting
hlch hhould interest every business
man, working wan and property cwner
in the city. Thero is no reason why
Nebraska should not be a great sugar
producing state, with Lincoln as the
depot and center cf the trade. Lincoln
is not only in and on all sides surround
ed by the sugar beet country, but it is
the place for the new sugar school
which the department of agriculture
wishes to establish in Nebraska. The
state in the raisicg of beets aud manu
facture of sugar, sbown to do pnssiuie
and profitable, has an industry which
will bring all the advantages of a steady
market, a demand for au unlimited in
crease of labor aud an influx of popula
tion which will give to the farming
lauds of the stato 'he greatest value.
It will be like puttiDg Nebraska with
her exhanstlessly fertile acres alongside
of Massachusetts. But we should avoid
the danger of the business being drawn
into the bands of non-resident capital
ists, or into the hands of the wealthy
few. The profit of the business suouia
be distributed to all, or to the greatest
number rxissible. and the producer of
the beets should receive a reward equal
to the highest.
The beet sugar convention called to
meet in Lincoln, December 17th, has a
representation apportioned as follows:
One delegate from each newspaper, five
from the state agricultural society, the
state horticultural society, each koard
of trade, commercial organization, from
each county agricultural society and
each county.
The Pride of the State.
The State University, under tho effi
cient leadership of Chancellor Capheld,
is, in the few months of his first year,
rapidly growing into a model university,
an Institution of greatest value and far
reaching influence. The Chancellor is
a man whose alert mind and excellent
judgment sees every need and selects
the best methods, the wisest means, to
work out his ideals as an educator.
The university is prospering as never
before.
A new building is being erected with
six generators ior ine eivciricai en
gineering department.
rror. JNicnoison ior iour years nas
been working up tho beet sugar inter
est, having charge of tho experiment
station at tne university.
Tho gymnasium, under tne manage
ment of Prof. Bowen, is making ath
letes and giving valuable physical train
ing to the university students.
The canious grounds have been
greatlv improved by grading and aboau-
tiiul fence surrounds tnem, witn une
stone walks. So improvement is found
within and without, and the people of
Lincoln and of the state take a growing
pride la their university.
University extension, a new popular
feature, is to reach the minds outside
which can be helped.
"The university extends a cordial in
vitation to all citizens of Nebraska who
desire to pursue a general course of
reading, or to conduct special investi
gations, to connect themselves with the
university or to correspond with the
members of the faculty who are in
charge of such studies. Suggestions as
to authorities, arrangements, arrange
ment of topics, prices of books, etc.,
will be gladly given. Those who may
be able to pursue such special work at
the university will have the advantage
of lectures, libraries and laboratories."
Tho libraries of the university are
large and filled with the latest and
choicest works.

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.
The above is the title of a book which
is fast becoming famous, and bids fair
to reach an unprecedented sale. A
railway man since 1871, and head of
what is known as "the Stickney Sys
tem." Mr. Stickney's qualifications for
writing this book were of the most su
perior kind. But while a railroad man,
Mr. S. has treated his subject with the
most philosophic breadth and candor.
His frank statement of tho injustice of
railway ma nageme'nt under the present
system entitles him to be called a ca
lamity bowler of tho first class. His
position on the different phases of the
railway problem, and on the need of
government ownership as the only so
lution of it, is in full accord with the
most advanced thinkers of the reform
ranks.
Every man interested in this great
problem should read this book i'er sale
at this oflice at 50c; or The Alliance
one year and the book, $1,33.
A Proposed Canning Factory.
We understand that an effort is being
made to establish in Lincoln a branch
of the canning works of the American
Woman's Canning association in other
words, a canning factory. The head
quarters of the company is in Chicago,
but members of the company, stock
holders, are multiplying in all tho state?,
and factories are being established
wherever there is a good location and a
certain amount of stock is subscribed.
Only women may become stockholders.
Xhe process is mat oi ine jones patent,
Miss Amanda Jone3, vice president of
the company, being the patentee. It is
a process which from description and
experiment we judge to be much su
perior to the old methods, and it is
claimed that the expense is no sweater.
At the same tune the preservation of
the goods is perfect, all the juices and
delicate flavors of the fresh fruits and
foods being retained. The difference
which distinguishes tnis process irom
all others is the use of a patent ex
hauster, which acts like an air-pump
separating all air from the fruit and
leaving tho cans indented by the outside
pressure of the atmosphere. We hope
the lady who has interested herself to
secure a branch factory at Lincoln will
meet the success which such an enter
prise deserves.
"BOW HAPPY COULD I BE WITH
EITHER?
Tobe Castor says Cleveland and Boies
are the favorites of Nebraska's demo
crats. Ho then naively adds, "Butsay,
it beats all how popular Blaine is with
every body in this state, doesn't it?"
Ah! that's the railroad position. Tobe
knows. They fix it so it is " heads I
win, tails you lose."
Main Travelf.d Roads: Six Missis
sippi valley stories, hy Hamlin Garland.
Arena Publishing Co. Paper: pp 2fi0.
Price 50 cents.
We this week add the above book to
our select Alliance library. Hamlin
Garland is the author of "A Spoil of
Office," a powerful story which will be
begun in the Arena Magazine in Janu
ary next. This book gives a fair idea
of the scope and power of his mind.
He is one of tho most promising of the
brilliant galaxy of writers which this
country has produced in the past ten
years.
The Alliance one year, and the
above book $1.25.
The Ahena ono year, price $3.00;
The Arena Portfolio, price 84.C0,
and The Alliance one year, $1.00 all
for $5.20.
" Patronize home industry" is
the shibboleth of the Omaha papers.
The greatest " home industry " in Oma
ha is the selliug and ' drinking of booze.
A free fight on the school board was fol
lowed a day or two later by a free
fight in the city couneil. Omaha is a
disgrace to the state, and to civlization
as well.
JS'-The plutocratic papers like the
Bee are trying Judge Hauler's contest
against Judge Holcomb in advance of
the courts, and of course in the interest
of Judge Hamer. Of course it is the in
dependents who have "violated the
election laws." etc.. etc. This is too
cheap. Judge Hamer, like Judge Gas
lin, held office so long that he concluded
he had an exclusive prescriptive right
to it. It is stranire, by Uio way, that
Gaslin don't contest.
SOI SOLID FACTS.
Not To B Read Unless You Have Time
to Think.
If You Would Do Yourself a Servict and
Us a Favor, Study These Points
Carefully.
When the working voters of the coun
try come to fully understand the money
question they will do this: Demone
tize silver and gold, and by constitu
tional amendment provide for tho Issue
of such an amount of non-redeemable
treasury notes as shall raise tho price of
goods in general to a level previously
determined upon, this level to be main
tained by a regular increase of the cir
culation to any amount that may be
necessary; this currenev to be a full,
and the only legal tender, and teceiv
able by the government for all dues.
Is the present standard dollar a Just
dollar? No. A just dollar is a station
ary dollar, one that neither appreciates
nor depreciates. Our standard dollar
has been steadily appreciating for the
past fifteen years. It will never be a
just dollar until it has depreciated to an
equal extent. It can only be depreciat
ed by what is called an inflation of the
currency. Inflation is the natural and
only remedy for appreciation. Remem
ber that money is not wealth, but only
the tool that exchanges it.
(
How much money is required by the
people of this nation for tho most eco
nomical exchange of products, and for
all business purposes? Xo thing man
can tell.
How shall we find it out?
By experiment.
Determine first what shall be tho pur
chasing power of a dollar as measured
by all staple commodities.
Then turn on a supply of legal tender
treasury notes until the proper level is
reached, and maintain it In the same
manner.
Thus and thus only can this most im
portant fact be determined
The advantage of money is derived
wholly from the using of it. It is worth
less as a possession; of no use to him
who cannot spend it. Therefore, all
that we can desire in money is that its
buying power shall be constant and
continuous. If money be redeemed we
lose the use of it. Redemption is not
the life of money, but the death of it.
If we can be assured that a certain piece
of money will never be redeemed, but
will be renewed when worn, and that
its buying power shall neither increase
nor crow less, but remain conntant, we
have then a perfect piece of money, no
matter wnat it is made of. The buying
power of money cannot remain constant
unless there be a gradual, lawful and
systematic increase of the quantity iu
circulation equal to the increase of
business transactions; that is, occasions
for the use of money.
Lincoln After a National Convention.
Lincoln has been seized with the am
bition of her great sister cities and is
making plans to secure one of the
national political conventions of 1893
which nominate candidates for presi
dent and vice president, tho convention
of the prohibition party. Omaha did
her best to secure a convention but was
defeated. Lincoln is more likely to
win..
There is no building in the city at
present of sutlicient seatinz capacity,
But a stock company is to be organized
which will erect an amphitheatre, pav
ing brick walls and nre proof roof, with
a seating capacity of 4,000. 1 he ex
pense is estimated to be about $10,000,
Plans of the buildinir mav be seen at
the oflice of Roberts & Woods, archi

The Fire Fiend in Lincoln.
Lincoln suffered a heavy los3 Tuesday
evening la the destruction by lire of tho
Lincoln Paint and Color company's
entire stock and machinery, together
with the line four story brick building
which they occupied, at 81 1 and 815 O
street. The stock, tilling each iloor
from basement to top story, consisted
of paints and oils, and the water poured
upon the furious flames seemed to have
no effect. In the brief space of half an
hour the immense tongues of tla ne had
licked up everything. The loss on the
contents of the building is estimated at
$80,000, with an insurance of only $32,
500. Tho building, owned by Mr. J. K.
Gregory, was worth about $20,000. Mr.
Gregory it is stated was carrying on it
$10,000 insurance.
The business was a most successful
one and the company will open a new
factory and move right on in spite of
loss.
Hoover & Son, proprietors of the
Lindell, are preparing to enlarge their
already large and increasingly popular
hotel to meet the needs of guests. The
materials are en the ground and the ad
dition will be pushed to completion
early in the spring.
M0R& BLOOD IX OMAHA.
In addition to tho two bloody fights
in the Omaha citv council and school
board, now comes one G. M. Hitchcock,
and begins a criminal prosecution
against Mr. Kosewater for libel. This
is just an awful state of affairs.
Lancaster County Co.
We now have tho required $100,000
and on next Friday, December 4, the
board meets at which time the insurance
will take effect if all is found correct.
Now please tell your neighbors that we
have a company and can give them in
surance at actual cost.
It is of interest to every farmer in
this county to have every other farmer
iusure iu this company.
Cyclone.
We are in rece'.pt of several good
applications during the week for the
Cyclone company. The Iowa Tornado
company, that has been running since
1884, has had an increase of over
$2,500,000 since January 19. They now
have $12,055,000 insured, and at a cost
of $4 per $1,000, for seven years. There
is no reason why wo shouia not do as
we!l in this state, but we are in need of
more agents.
Volume 1, No. 1, of the Meridian
Sun, published at Coad, Neb., by our
old friend Markwood Holmes, comes to
o'ur exchango table this week. Bro.
Holaies is an experienced newspaper
man. In his salutatory he says: "In
politics the Sun will advocate the cause
of the people's independent party. We
believe that the cause of the people is
just. We believe further that the prin
ciples advocated by the people's inde
pendent party are such that if limy
were enacted into laws, the reMilt
would lead to a new era of prosperity
for our country."
New independent papers on the heels
of the late "crushing defeat" (?) will be
a shock to the plutocratic press. We
welcome Bro. Holmes to our ranks and
wish for him the success Le certainly
deserves.
