Pres We are pleased to note that Fred Jewell, the pioneer secretary of the Platte County Alliance and an earnest worker in the reform causo has re ceived the unanimous nomination for the state senate from his district. Bro. Jewell deserves anything in the gift of the independents and should be elected by acclamation. He was a delegate to the national conference in St. Louis last February, and also represented his district in the Omaha convention July 4th. The 12th senatorial district will make no mistake in elect' ng so worthy an independent to represent them in the state senate. Powers and Mclteynolds in Platte County. .. Humphrey, Neb., Oct. 12, 1892. Editor Alliance-Independent: Your corresponaent attended a large meeting of independents, democrats and republicans heldt Henr'ys hall in Platte Center on the evening of the 10th, when Logan McReynolds and J H. Powers addressed the crowd. To say it was a success is-treating it mild to say the least. Before J. H. Powers got through the building shook with applause. He handled both the old parties without gloves and in a manner that made it manifest to the crowd that the old hero was on the side of justice, and when he concluded if the hand shaking and"God bless youV'is a sign of appreciation, welcome and well done the old oak got a double allowance of it. You could count two independents the next morning when only ono appeared the day before. I have been to over thirty of the people's assemblies in the last six months and I can say with all candor that the speech of J. H. Powers on this occasion was both masterly and instructive, and eclipsed4 any thing I have heard so far. He made manv convert g and will always be made wel come when he comes to speak to the citizens of Platte Center. Fred Jewell of Platte county was nominated by acclimation at the sena torial convention held at Benton cn the 10th inst., and as he will represent Colfax and Platte, the honest and liber ty loving people who belie veo in justice to all will see to it that ho is elected by a handsome majority. Walker. Burt County. The Poynter-Meiklejohn debate as previously announced came off this p. m. (Oct. 13th) at Dye's grove. It was plainly evident that Poynter was on the side with the people and that Meiklejohn's dead issues are no longer a-go. People have been going to school some in the past two years and have got so they are pretty good judges of a political speech. He Doesn't Want the Journal. "It Is an ill wind that blows nobody good," saith the proverb. The follow ing will show that eyen th State Journal is capable of helninf? on a rmnA cause. It is a copy of a letter sent to mo biate journal: Shelby. Oct. 19. 1891. Editor of the State Journal: Sir. I want you to stop sending me that lying paper of yours. I have bad enougn of it. uo you think farmers are a pack of fools to believe half what you print? I know two-thirds of it is false, and I am suspicious of tho other third. Any man that reads your paper six months and then votes the 1 republican ticket must bo a Lunatic. 1 did not intend to voto for Van Wyck but the more I read your paper the more I think Van Wyck is me man to vote lor. My paper is paid for until Februarv 1, 1893. Please send it to some republi can and I think he will vote for Weaver on tho 8th of November. B. E. WOOLLEY. Clone to Plutocratic Government. A suit of a laborer against a duko was one of the recent surprising Q events in England, remarks one of our plutocratic old partv papers, and continuing the same authority says: "A still moro surprising thing is the laborer's victory." Such a result in reeAmerica" would be well nigh an impossibility. Hence the surDriao of the plutocratic journal. lhe other day when the Homestead peoplo had some of the Carnegie leaders arrested, cnargea with murder for bringing in armed Pinkertons who fired on and killed several of th Homestead citizens, the case was nm. judged by Judge Ewing. who stepped in advance of his authority and nastened, with scorn in his language to tell tho Homestead people thev had no rights in the case, and . that the Jt'inkertons had every right to be there. The monopoly and monied aristocracy has made such in sidious advances toward the sub version of republican government in toe United btates, that a judge de clares that a corporation has a ri?ht to employ a foreign army to invade a stale without permission from the constituted authorities of the state, and when a town is invaded bv the hired mercenary soldiers, the people cave no right to repel the invaders. This is the logic of Judge Ewing' s volunteered decision. We are mighty near the time and the boundary line when corporate power will step over and post its proclamation in everv city that its plutocratic princes will take charge of the government in future and relieve the people from all further care or concern in public af fairs. Are the blind partisan voters ready lor thi3? They have been and are voting as they are directed. What concern to them ir the same authority say to them their vote is not nec essary longer to keep our party in power? Have they ever considered there is but little if any difference be tween blindly voting to keep their party in power ana its keeping in power without their voting? Think of this, ye party bigots. Labor World. Help the Poor Millionaire! We observe that the Republican platform is in favor of 1 cent postage. This is perfectly proper and consist ent on the part of the Republican party. There are thousands of wealthy corporations, immense bank ing institutions, huge monopolies, millionaire manufacturers and mer chants who use thousands of dollars of postage .stamps every year. To them it means a saving of thousands of dollars annually. On the other hand, there are milliojis of poor peo plo who do not write half a dozen letters in a whole year. To them it means a saving of perhaps 5 cents in a whole year. Inasmuch as the Re publican party is the party of mil lionaires, it is right that they should look after the interests of tho rich.

"Confederation" as attempted in Bar bados. West Indies. By John Bezs'n Tynes. This political sketch is a vigorous ex position of a scheme projected by the Earl Carnarvon, the English secretary of state for the Colonies in 1875, for the Federation of the Island of Barbados with other British Islands in the West Indies, and of the measures undertaken in connection with the scheme to force it on the Barbadians, through which it was sought to destroy the representa tive government of Barbados, and an nul c hartered rights which its Inhabi tants, as the author tells us, have en joyed for more than two hundred and fifty years. The work presents many vivid pic tures in its various delineations, and will doubtless be regard in its entirety, as a substantial contribution to West Indian History. The volume will contam about 200 pages of reading matter, electrotyped in a clear, finished manner, and issued in handsome form and style of binding. Sold only on subscription, Price $1.25 per copy.
