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.

.. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Book Note.
"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.
To be issued by u. if. Putnam's Sons.

in pulling Wall street." That is the
sort of' tricks both oid parties havo
been playing ever since.
