Take Notice, Laboiing Men. June 14. Kt'iTUK Am iasce-Indei-kniikst: Lut nijrht, as I passed near the coi--lief of Xand Thirteenth streets. I heard sounds and yells as of a man in distress, tjuickly locutintr tho sounds. I glanced tnroutfh an ojK-n window of the old Ked Uiblxm hall and there stood Ike Lun sinjj, county judje of Lancaster county, our own "Ikey," With his forehead bare to the back "of his neck; a sfreat head that as it glistened in the bright elec tric light like a new seventy cent dollar. With clenched fist high above that remarkable bead, I felt sure he must Ixi saying something remarkable, so I hastened in and took a seat in front of him. He was telling how men for selfish purposes have left the grand old party; how he used to sulk at tho way be was treated in con ventions; but how after long days and weeks, he had returned to the good old fold to try it again until at last his efforts were crowded with success. ltut the most remarkable thing said bv this most i-emarkable leader of the Nineteenth century was how the repub lican party would elect Harrison. It was expressed in few words and easily undersiood. It was more remarkable coming from a lawyer for lawyers are not noted for making plain statements. SH'aking of a certain wealthy employe of labor, he said with approval, that this man would not only vote for Har rison but would see to it that every man working for him should vote for him on penalty of being immediately discharged. Think of this, free American citi zens, patriotic Abraham Lincoln re publicans, men who have seen the na tion's best blood guilt that liberty might iie preserved. Think of this, you be lievers in a free ballot by wlreh all men both rich and poor may exprtss their choice of candidates and jxilicy without let or hindrance. Think of this, laboring men, and then cheer and clap your hands when a republican judge "tells you that it is but natural for rich republicans to discharge vou destitute and dishonored if they can not control vour vote. Well may we exclaim, ''O, Liberty, what crimes have been committed in thv nam ! O. lv. Colfax County Independente. SCHfYt.KR. Neb., June 11. 1S92. The independent county convention was held here to-day. The large court room was ft lie 1 with farmers, mechan ics and laborers, eager, anxious and de t'Tiniced in the causo they espoused. The convention was called to order by .1. A. Grimeson. Alfred Pont was made temporary chairman, and C. H. Swallow and John C. Sprechcr tem Mrary secretaries. Whi'e the committee on credentials was preparing their report, the eosven tion was entertained by short sjieeelie. from .1. M. Devinc, Mr. McCord, and John 1' Spit'chtr.

News of tlit People's Ptrty in Other States How the Bcform Hosts aro Karshal ing for the Conflict- State Convention in Kentucky Alliance Democrats in Alabama- Congress men Nominated in Missouri. IX ALABAMA. There was practically only one party in Alabama befdro tho Alliance move ment came into existence. Two years ago. there was a contest inside the democratic party lictweon the Alli ance faction and the old iine democrats. Jones, the old line candidate, was nominated and Kolb, the alliance man, was defeated as his friends claimed by fraud. Since then the breach between the two factions has widened and tho bitterness greatly increased. Lust week the democracy of Alabama met aiuii in convenlion. The Jones men organized the convention with the help of a lot of men who were not legally elected. The Alliance faction then withdrew and organized a conven or their own, nominated a full state ticket with Kolb at the head, and will send a contesting delegation to Chicago. This alliance faction is the same tVtiiig as the people's party a:d it stands a line chauee to carry tho state. IN KENTUCKY. The people's state convention met at Lexington, Juno 8, and elected dele gates to the Omah.v convention. It was a well attended, enthusiastic con vention. IN MISSOURI. On Saturday, Juno 4th, the people's party of the Seventh Missouri district held' a grand convention ot Springfield. The St. Louis platform was adopted, and Hon. C. L. Piokham of Greene county was nomina'ed for congress. He accepted in a lengthy and very able address. June 2d the people's convention in the First district nominated Herbert Bronson for congress and decided against all fusion. NEBRASKA PENSIONS.

Oa Saturday evening the republicans of Lincoln had a ratification meo ing in the back yard of the post office. About three hundred of the orthodox collected around an improvised s)ieaker's stand and listened to speechts by J. L. Caldwell, W. H. Voottward, F. W. Collins, Jessie B. Strode, F. J. Kelley. Judge Field, Judge Parker, Capt. Billingsley, and T. C. Munger. Their speeches were as follows: "Great party; grand statesmen: splen did record: unparallellcd prosperity: Chilleun affair; Behring Sea difficulty; peerless diplomacy; We're all for Har rison: He's a republican: So are we: We want a Navy; We want a merchant marine: reciprocity; matchless man from Maine: protection: American labor; McKinley and his wonderful bill: 'we fit the war;' statesmanship: progress; genius: prosperity, patriotism: enthu siasm: glorious victory next fall." l )f course the different siieakors de livered this speech with blight varia tions and some omissions: but there was a close adherence to tho text oil ail essential point. Strenuous efforts on tho part of tho management were made to raise some enthusiasm, but it was up-hill work. The applause vva conlined to a small number and was anything but hearty. Even the "three cheers for Harrison" were weak in force and volume. The Ixind played patriotic airs as en thusiastically as the weather would permit. The rockets tizzed and soared and blossomed out with reasonable success. 'Ihe fountain merrily shot forth its sparkling streams, suggesting to all who tasted, the coming journey up that river so well known iu iMilitics. 400 Teachers Wanted to attend Fairfield College Sv. minor Normal.

Lincoln, Neb., June 14, 1893. IN MEMORIAN. "Death, indeed, loves a shining mark," for L. L. Polk is dead. There were but few men in this country that would have teen missed more, or but what, in tho interest of humanity, could better have been spared; and but few perhaps of our own people will ever realize the loss to our cause. It was my good fortune to know him," al though I never met him but once. It was at the great St. Louis conference, last February. There wer3 many great men in that memorable body. Men whose names will go down to generations yet unborn, with Increas ing luster. Names that will Hto In the history of tho people's movement, and that will be honored as the authors of the proclamation of industrial emancipation, there sent forth es long as five government shall exist on earth. Names that will become dearer to the struggling millions, as their condition grows better, for the great work there done, and the declarations there made. But grandest among those grand men, bravest among those brave spirits, most eloquent among that Athenian band ttood L. L. Polk. He was the one man to whom all eyes turned when a president of the conference was to be chosen, and to him since that con ference, have we steadily looked as one, at least, who should 1)3 upon our national ticket, and lead us in the coming struggle. To meet such a man was to know him and to know him was to love him. But few men have I ever mot that so inspired me. No one could stand in his presence without feeling his in fluence. There was an inexpressible something that pervaded the very at mosphere around him. His very silence was eloquent, and his words were inspiration itself. But Polk is dead, and while we mourn our loss, the serious question K who shall take his place? Whose heart shall bear the people's burdens as did his? Upon whose tongue shall kindle the lire of his eloquence, and whose shoulders are worthy to receive his mantle? No, Polk is not dead. He still lives in his words, and in his works, and in the hearts of a suffering and struggling people. His name is One of the few. the Immortal names That were not born to die." J. V. Wolfe.

But Lol to day as I drove into I.itchiielU on coming in sight or the flag pole I saw the stars and stripes about four feet below the ton ot the pole. 1 wondered why it should be in that position it being too high for mourning On coming nearer I could see a white rag floating above the flag approaching nearer l coma see a name on ine rag. Shades of departed patriots! The name was H irrison, Harrison the man that would veto anv bill that would increase the circulation of money a few cents. two feet higher than tho American ting! Hut then that is their aim. to keep their pets and party ahead and higher than anything else. Yours for Success, An Oli Solier.

Chief Justice Maxwell has addressed a communication to Gov. Kovd in which he states that the law empower ing the governor to pardon two crimi nals on the Fourth of July s unconsti tutional. The law provides that raid pardons shall be issued upon the, writ ten recommendation of the warden of the penitentiary, the attorneg general, secretary of state and chief justice of the supreme court. The chief justice says the act is in the nature of special legislation which is forbidden by the constitution. The law applies almost wholly to persons convicted of murder in the seeoad de gree, and may work as an encourage ment of crime. The law placing the granting of pardons in the hands of the governor alone is sufficient to provide for all cases where pardons are really deserved, and any act that shifts the duty from the governor to a special board is unconstitutional.
