The fact is fully demonstrated that Nebraska democrats will do nothing out side of the dictation of Boyd and his crowd of railroaders, and the stinkers for the eastern monopolies. This was fully demonstrated in the recent demo cratic convention in Omaha when Boyd got almost a unaniiaons vote for dele gate to the national convention, and a plank in the platform declaring for free silver was defeated. Democratic farm ers, if yru want justice and right you will have to cut loose from your demo cratic party. St Paul Phonograph. Now that Church Howe has been en dorsed by the Nemaha county republi cans for congress, we would like to ask the gentleman if he proposes to run on his free silver platform of two years ago or upon the so-called "houest money" platform of Saturday's convention? Nemaha County Herald. The Farmers' Alliance and the Ne braska Independent have been con solidated and Mr. Thornton of the Independent is the editor of the com bined paper with Mr. Pirtle acd Mr. Thompson as assistants. Both papers have been ably edited and managed heretofore, but from this union of forces the people may expect one of the ablest journals in the country, and they will not be disapointed. Alma Repor ter. There is a difference between the old party platforms and that of the people's party: The new party's platform says something that means something; the old party ptatforms say something that means anything. Bartlott Independent. The Oxnards now want the bounty placed on the raising of beets and not on the production of sugar. And if it should be done they would at once pro ceed to raise their own beets and get the bounty. Those Oxnards are a thrifty set. Lincoln Herald. The protective tariff argument that the starving condition of Russia's peas antry is due to the MclCinley bill will hardly bear inspection. According to the McKinley idea we make paupers of foreigners and then expect to sell them our truck when they are dying of star vation. It is under these couditions that our protective tariff barons import this pauper labor to take the place of American workmen at lower wages. Seet Beatrice Arbor State. Should Judge Gresham be the nominee of the independents it would mean a great deal. It would justify every voter who is dissatisfied with his party in casting his ballot for a change. It would stamp the new party with permanence and respectability. It would make the movement formidable at this election and fix its status for the future. It would put both the old par ties on the alert to find out and grant what the people want. It would alto gether and in every way be a grand good thing tor the people of the coun try. And if the leaders of the indepen dent party are honest and patriotic, if they are what they pretend to be, they will at the earliest moment ascertain whether Judge Gresham can bs induced to enter the field. It he can no other name should be heard at Omaha. Lincoln Herald. "Free silver is all right, but the east won't stand it. '' Let the east go to Canada then. The west and south have laid down and rolled over before east ern money mongers about long enough. Texas Stockman. The independents have nominated strong candidates for municipal offices in several places. Particularly is tais so of St. Paul, Minn., where, according to the Pioneer-Press, all the best citizens will rally to its support. The oexaniple is worthy of emulation. Omaha Repub lican. The democracy of Nebraska has thrown away its last oar. If it had had the courage to take a brave stand for free coinage and an increase bf circula tion, the party might have mad some chance for favor with the piople this fall, but now the democracy ot the state has gone on record as opposed to the one great reform whicft thi farmers and many 01 tne Dusmmss mea re manding, and the doom of the'party in Nebraska is sealed.

Philadelphia Press. The democrats of Nebraska had a regular Punch and Judy time in state convention last week at Omaha, over the free coinage of silver, but the con vention, in spite of the personal appeals of congressman Bryan to sustain bis position in favor of the silver dollar, voted against the white metal and kissed the golden calf of Wall Street. Ulysses Dispatch. TREE ADVERTISING. Few people have any idea of the amount of free advertising given by newspapers. And fewer still even give them any credit for it. But Mr. Mobley of the World's Fair Commission is an exception. At a recent meeting he told the commission how much free advertis ing it had received from the press of Nebraska. He estimated the amount of this free advertis'.ng to be "the equiva lent of at least 4,000 colums of newspa per advertising, and by this method it is safe to say that at least nine-tenths of the reading people of the state have been reached. The combined circula tion of the papers publishing this mat ter, based on the very low estimate of 500 for each paper, would be 250,000, which enter the homes of the people of every section of Nebraska. To have reached a similar number of people through the medium of public meetings would have necessitated 750 meetings with an average attendance of 500 people at said meetings, and to have presented a similar amount of in formation would have required at least four hours of toilsome talk at each meeting. To have reached the same number of people by means of printed circulars would have required at least 500,000 circulars, to print and mail which would have entailed an expense of at least $0,000 for printing and postage alone, to say nothing of the work of mailing. The typesetting alone for this volume of matter, if set separately in each of the offices of the 500 papers publishing the same, at the regular average rate for typesetting would cost the snug sum of J6.000. or $ 1 2 for each paper. Owing to the kindness of the press and ready prim houses of Nebraska this work has been donu without the expen diture of a dollar aside from two or three dollars for postage and the few days time spent in tne preparation of the matter and attention to the corres pondence with the papers." Tke Book to Buy Correct use of language is as impor tant as correct habits of thought. He who would use words correctly should have the best dictionary extant, and that is undoubtedly Webster's Inter national Dictionary. The cheap reprints of Webster's Dic tionary as issued forty years ago, are worthless. A living language Is subject to change and growth, and this is es pecially true of the English lnnguuge. Hence a dictionary in order to be com plete and reliable must be revised up to date. The new International is the greatest book of the kind ever issued. It is a very encyclopedia of information. If you want to buy a d ctionary you should get no other. "Bread-Winners and Bond-Holders." Several years ago some ardent adyo cate of protection made up a table of figures showing how much faster wealth had accumulated in the manu facturing stp.tes than it had in the agricultural states. This statement was not allowed to circulate long. It was called in lest it should prove an eye opener to the farmers. Nothing of the kind has been put out since till within a few months, and not by protection ists, not by any means. The people's party cranks are having their inning at statistics now. S. S. King of Kansas City, Kansas, has got out a little book on "Bond holders and Bread-Winners" which shows up the concentration of wealth in the manufacturing states in a most striking and convincing manner. It gives the figures fresh from the census office and is illustrated with diagrams. This little book shouH be in the hands of every voter in Nebraska. It deals with "money and transportation" as well as taxation. McKeighan's speech on the "free wool biL" appears on our first page. Although no was only granted a very short time time on thi3 bill, he scored some strong points. Democrats have all along been claiming that there is no ('ifference between themselves and the people's party on the tariff. The speeches of McKeighan, Watson, ana Jerry Simpson have opened their eyes to their mistake. The democrats have cried out against the tariff as "a system of robbery." Yet they have only pro posed to rob the people about five per cent 'ess than the republicans. The Alliance orators arc ck-maudiiig that every system of robbery be abolished, the tariff among the rest. At the hour of going to press the re publican state convention is in session at Kearney, and thB politicians are having a "high old time." Rose water does not seem to be "in it." John L. Webster, Judge Cobb, L. D. Rich ards and J. L. Keck of Kearney will probp.bly be the delegates-at-large to Minneapolis. The Bible says, "The laborer is worthy of his hire," but it doesn't say he will get his dues without asserting his tights. IDMGE DrOTMENT. J. T. M. &WIGART. TtrT of lh Krbrttks Mutual CfdoM.

Since the article on Hall Insurance which we published March 31st, we bare received many letters oa that auijoc(, tal as there are no f undo on band to pay pos tage with we will answer through this Department. We are using our utmost energy to organize an exclusively wind storm insur ance company, bit as there were so many wanting hail Insurance we have formulat ed the following plan as the only feasable one by which we could recom mend any one to insure. While this plan may not be perfect. It will do for an experiment and will give us a nucleus upon which we can build a permanent company next year. The cost will be very small even it every cent is collected. All losses and ex penses will be reported in this Depart ment as tbev occur and earn member will receive an itemized ttatement of all transactions at the time the assessment is made, Nov. 1st. No losses will be paid until Dec. 1st, because we want nil loosers to get pay In proportion to the amount of losses sustained by all mem bers of the company; further we do not want to go to the expense of making more than one assessment. Any member may insure any or all of his crop, but must insure all he bai of the variety he asks insurance on. A member Is only asked tne small fee of fifty cenls which v think is amply sufficient to pay all office expense and pay for actual work doue. You could not expect any one to go int) the field and make a business of soliciting; therefore if each one who Is interested in this class of insurance will carefully read this article and send a card to me stating number of acres And kind of crop you will insure, and then tell vour neighbors what you have done and let them read this Department, and when we have 100,000 acres promised we will mall vou a blank contract, similar to the one below outlined, and each one can be his own aire lit. Remember that only fifty cents is puid at the time of Insuring and nothing more until Dec. 1st. We have formulated this plan and given it to you tor your approval or rejec tion as the case may be. We do not think It best to mane insur ance good before we have f 10,000 promis ed and that must be well distributed over the state so that a single storm would not use up all of premium. We now leave It to you whether you have the insurance or not. Each of you inust'put In a Utile time to secure P06tal card promises from your neighbors right away or the company will go by the board. Bro. J M. Thompson, secretary of the state alliance, has consented to act as treasurer, and as there is no use for any other officer except secretary we will do that work or have It done at a cost not to exceed two dollars per day. When writ ing be sure to name the county and direct all communications pertaining to insur ance to J. Y. M. Swigart, Lincoln, Neb. We here eive you a form ot contract similar to the one that will be sent to each one who wants insurance: CONTRACT. 1 hereby anply for Insurance against loss or damage by hall In the Nebraska Mutual Hail Insurance Company on the following numberof acres: acres of wheat. " " corn. " '! oats. ' Total No. of acres Insured . For which I hereby agree to pay a membership fee of fifty cents In cash an! further agree to pay ten cents per acre on the first day of Nov., 1892, for the total number of acres above enumerated; or as much thereof as may be necessary to pay lows and expenses of the compauy. The applicant hereby also agrees to be governed by the following rules: 1st. All losses In small grain will be adjusted during July, August or Septem ber, and losses on corn will be adjusted during October. 2nd. After the total amount of losses and expenses have been ascertained the secretary will make an assessment on all members in proportion to the amount he has Insured, and the amount thus collect ed will be apportioned to those who have had losses. 3rd. No member shall be paid more than five dollars per acre. 4th. In case the amount of losses ex ceed the amount collected, each member hereby agrees to accept in full payment of his adjusted claim his proportionate share of said amount collected. 5th. The member further agrss to pay his assessment within fifteen days after Nov. 1st. 6th. All losses will be paid December first. I have real or heard read the foregoing contract and 1 hereby agree to the same. Dated this day of , 181)2. Section , Town , Range . P. O., i County, Nebr. biened Witness Cyclone. We have now $120,010 insurance on file in the Cyclone insuranee company and therefore hope to be able to place the company on its feel by May 15th ht the furthest. But if all who have promised to send us some applications will fulfill their promises we will be able to ma ke the insurance good before taat tune. The farmers should take pride in the country schools, should build up and improve them. They should not be in haste to take their children cut of the country school and send tbem to the graded school of the city. If the farm ers themselves discredit their own schools, is it any wonder that city people come to look with disdain upon the "destrict schools' as they sneeringly call them? Is it any wonder the farm er's boys and girls become ashamed of the humble schools and the simple life of the country and turn their faces toward the city? A "revival of interest in country schools is needed throughout Nebraska. Dear people of Saunders county: The State Journal is disgusted at yet!. It can't understand why you run off after every ' fad and ism" when you are so well fixed. In the old greenback days you listened to the harangues of Thompson Bissell and Bill Dech, and have never fully recovered. You have line farms, good houses and plenty to eat; still you have actually taken the lead in this alliance craze. You have actually helped eleit somo of the cranks to office, and you don't seem to get any better if anything, worse. You are clear beyond the pale of the JournaTs philosophy. If- you don't change your ways soon, it will set you down as a political monstrosity. WHOM SHALL WE S0XHATE? In respocM to oar request of last week a large number of cards have been received. Below we publish as many aa we have room for. DOKSELLT AMD POLK. My first choice for president la Igna tius Donnelly; for vice president, L. L. Pclk. They represent the north and south, besides being good strong tim ber, Fred Lillibekg. Wayne, Nebr. WEAVER AND IOLK. Weaver of Iowa for president and Polk of N. C. for vice-president; Don nelly. Powderly. Watson, Loucks of Dakota, Peffer and Jerry Simpson for members of the cabinet. Reynolds, Nebr. C. E Scllock. LINCOLN AND BRECHIN RIDUE. We want a man for president who cm carry the west and one for vice president who can carry the south. To my mind the best men, if measured by their chances to win, are Robert T. Lincoln and Congressman Breckinridge of Kentucky, providing they will en dorse our platform. I believe they are honest men and sure to be elected. The son of Abraham Lincoln will destroy prejudice in the north, and the son of the democratic nominee oi I860 will destroy it in the north. Stoddard, Nebr. Norman Dowdin. M EAVER AND VOL. The "north and south" rather than tho "east and west," for obvious reasons. Weaver and Polk. Weaver, the vigilant and unchangable, the able and distinguished veteran of unswerv ing loyalty, mature experience and national fame. Polk a paragon of purity perfection and power, of whom all pure patriots and people's party promoters feel proud. L. P. Cummins. Rushville, Neb. WEAVER AND ItLK, are my choice for the head of our ticket. Both are sound true and tried on the supreme issue, the money question. Also it is good politics and sound states manship to thus recognize and if possi ble reunite on new issues and interests the once divided sections of our com mon country. This union can never be accomplished, nor the present evils overthrow n, so ' long as either the democratic or republican party remains In power. John Jefkcoat. Omaha, Neb. weaver and polk. My reason is: They are and hive been the leaders of the two largest labor organizations in our country, and can bring to their adherence more of the laboring people than any other per sons. It is the votes of the masses we need. John S. Maiben. Palmyra, Neb. . FAVORS GRESHAM. The candidate should have an honor able reputation with unquestioned ability, conservative, honest and just. I know of no man who stands higher with the masses of the Amsrican people or more truly represents tbem than Judge Water Q Gresham, the soldier, the citizen, the just judge. Kearney, Neb. A. H. Boltin. WATSON AND SIMI'SON. My choice for president is Watson of Georgia for the reason that we are the only party that dares nominato a south ern man. We have no bloody shirt to fling. Jerry Simpson is the man for second place. R. A. Rock. Oakland, Nebr. WEAVER AND l'OLK OR POWDERLY. Mark me down for Gen. J. B. Weaver for president, the man who has never flinched and who dared to stand up almost alone and do battle fur the masses. He has ever been found on the side of right, truth, honesty, justice, and ever will be. For the second place we have a host of good men: T. V. Pow derly or L. L. Polk either one would be a power. But I ara for the ticket to be named next 4th of July at Omaha. Winside, Neb. H. B. Miller. WEAVER AND T03T, My choice is James B. Weaver for president, and C. C. Post of Georgia for vice president. We must have a man for president that knows no north and no south, and above all things stands suuare on the money question. I know that Weaver is all right in that respect.' P. B. Olson. Malmo, Neb.
