SOME G.O P. EOTTESHESS EXPOSED-
r ropuiist secretary oi aiaie, usuuim,
Makes Some Startling Exposures,
and Promises More,
Corruption In Kansas.
The populists of Kansas are begin
ning to emulate the example of their
' Nebraska brethren. They are finding
out Bome of the devilment practiced by
their Bill Dorgans, Dan Lauers, etc.
The exposures thus far made bear a
striking general resemblance to those
lately made here in Nebraska.
Populist secretary of state has issued
the following whiclA will explain itself:
"The corruption of the late republi
can administration', is something won
derful. I have great faith in the hon
esty ot the people, but the people have
never had an opportunity of knowing
the rottenness and! corruption or some
of their leaders. Ve are just begin
ning to unearth th'e rascality and dis
honesty of some of (them, and will soon
have in shape for the public a full ac
count of the scandalous practices which
have for years bean covered up.
Lnn&n U. Humphrey, Bill Higgins,
G,y Leland f -d others of their gang are
now at the jnitentiary, and have been
' there for weeks, boarding there, trying
to cover up their crookedness, but it
can't be covered u,). Cy Leland has for
years been supplying Doniphan county
witn coal irom me suite penitentiary
mines. The c al is billed to him as
slack at $2 or $3 a car, or jur. enough
to pay for loading it, and he in turn
sold it to Doniphan county for first
class coal, and supplied all tne county j
institutions with fuel in this manner, j
This was first class coal, but he b jught
it from the state as slack. TMa has
been going on for years.
We have positive proof that all the
state officers were supplied with coal
from the penitentiary mines. It was
brought in car load lots and delivered
to their homes, placed in their coal
houses and never cost them a cent.
Another piece of crookedness is the
way the mining at the penitentiary has
been done. The records of tie instit i-
tion upon careful investigation show
j - that for years all the coil mined by the
convicts has been mined on coal p rounds
owned bv the Santa Fe. and the railroad
has received a royalty on every bushel
mined, which has been paid over to the
comnanv every three months. The
state has just as good coal grounds of
its own, but the Santa Fe had to be
taken care of.
We have positive information that
almost any number of houses have been
built in Leavenworth of material from
the penitentiary; and that convicts did
the most of the work, and yet the state
never received one Qont of compensa
tion for any of this. I might go on
and tell you about any amount of
crookedness, but I won't now, but let
the public be prepared for exposures
for they will come now soon, and it
will go hard with some people,"

Two Ex-Nebraska Farmers Write
From tbe Land of Itooners.
Oklahoma City, April 19 1893.
Editor Alliance Independdnt,
Our city election has passed and left us
two councilmen which were badly need
ed as corruption has been the rule here
ever since t his place has had an ex
istence. They just negotiated $17,500
of sewer bonds. They first correspond
i with a number of eastern firms to
bee just the kind of bond that would
suit them. They were informed that
nothing but a gold bjnd would be ac
cepted and for them a premium of
six hundred dollars would be paid.
The committee accepted the offer at
once. Score one for Shylock. Now
the contract is let for the sewers and
the contractors give it out cold that
they will pay for the labor In city
scrip and this scrip will be discounted
from 10 to 20 per cent and in all prob
ability the contractor will furnish the
money to discount them. Thus are
the people robbed. There are a good
many Independents here but they are
totalv unorganized owing to some
would-be saviors
of the party forcing
obieotionable timber upon them last!
fall. But there are some able advo
cates of the cause, here notably, J. N
Harvey and M. Streeter. They are
making a good paper and the time is
soon here when the people will resent
such actions as last year. May God
speed the time.
send me a few sample copies of your
paper and blanks, I think I can send
you some subscribers, will send you
one of J. II. Harvey's certificates of
production. Send your opinion ot them
or comment oa them. Your for the
cause.

Signs of Prosperity.
An ex-republlcan writes to the
Thayer County Mall as follows about
the mortgage records:
Here is the record for tne month of
March:
No., of farm mortgages filed 84; ,
Amount involved, $125,403.70.
No., released 89.
Amount t9,773.10.
No., of city mortgages filed 13.
Amount, 13,148.60.
No., released 11.
Amount, $7,995.90.
Chattel mortgages filed, 165.
Amount, 2.917.51.
No., released 90.
Amount, 22,3:t0 82.
Total amount of mortgages filed
$155,470.11.
Total amount of mortgages released,
$100,099.82.
Total Increase in March $55 370.29.
So we see from the above figures, taken
from the official record kept by tho
county clerk that the increase m farm
mortgage indebtedness alone for only
one month is $55,039. S0 Wo learned
also from a further examination that
the farm mortgage indebetedness had
increased U this country every month
except one (Jan., 1892) since the law
went into effect which was Juno 1st,
11)1. We found that the farm mort
traze indebtedness for tho year 1H92
had increased $276, 526.55. We found
