State officers guilty of the grossest outrages upon the treasury have been acquitted by them. Leeches that stole many hundreds of dollars of our state taxes for junketing trips all over the country, they have set free. ' State officers that were proven guilty of wasting, squandering, and dividing among their corrupt chums, at least hundred thoueand dollars of our state funds, have been turned loose upon us by these two judges, and bidden to go ahead and outrage a . long suffering people still further. These judges are still promptly confirming fines, judjr ments and penalties upon the poor. If they find a farmer or laboring man guilty of tbe smallest crime, these they ever stand ready to punish severely. The laboring poor are punished with out charity or mercy. They are fined and Imprisoned for trivial offences. We do not complain of this; we would not refer to it if there was any chance to convict ereat criminals in Warn places. But these unjust judges stand in our way ana say this must not be done. Allen, Humphrey, Hastings, Hill, Ben ton and Mosher, all deserve much more to be in the penitentiary, than any un .', fortunate poor fellow that is there now. Post and Norval say noae of the great scoundrels brought before them should be punished at all. The United States court sends poor men to prison, but sends the great state thief Mcsher, to a first-class hotel and obliges us to pay a United States marshal five dollars a day to keep Mosher company. Our courts are try ing to convince us this is a government of the classes against the masses. Our corrupt courts are goading and per secuting patient people to 6ee how much we will endure. They will try to continue these outrages and favoritism until endurance will cease, people will arise and destroy our prisons, hang cor rupt judges and oppressors, and with a bloody sword write a constitution that will forever stop these wrongs. After the tiger in humanity has been thoroughly aroused, those who caused it will blame the barbarism in human nature, never willing to see the devil ' In that, own hnnrtd und Hrta INDIGNATION UNCORKED K' I We ask voters to reflect sin- Merely: When will all this abuse of farmers, who voted to put Judges l'ost and Norval into their high positions after it had been shown to you tbat they were corporation rlagsters, and un scrupulous partisan shysters, you also voted last fall for these thieving state officers, after all the proof of their stealings was published.

But the request of the many thousand farmers of this county, he failed to hear. Farmers by the hundred met in Institutes and else where and sent him resolutions asking for laws to stop extortion, oppression and rascality. They got sneers for their trouble. If John Cornell bad been our senator last winter he wou'a have been an able honorable law-maker in passing good laws, punishing thieves and correcting abuses at Lincoln, and Richardson county would not have been a by-word and a reproach in the senate. . f WIND SHOTS; The impeached officers knew how tbe supreme court decision would go for several days before it was given. It is not j ist certain what one of the judges Post ed them about the matter. Did you ever pioch a dog's tail and watch him turn around and bite bis tail instead of biting you? You doubt less thought the dog very foolish. But the people did the very Bame tblBg for many years. When plutocracy pinched the people, the people began fighting each other instead of fighting pluto cracy. See the point?

Populists Tnrn oat to Hear Senator Allen and John M. Devlne. Senator W. V. Allen began bis series of meetings at Tocumseh, Monday afternoon. The meeting was held in the courthouse, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. Mr. W. G. Swan wa-. fc.v.. ted chairman of the meeting and first introduced John M. Device, of Colfax county, who discussed the money quesliou. ;. Senator Allen was next introduced. II e discussed the silver question. Those who have heard Allen oa any branch of the money question pronounce him one of the ablest economists in the west. Since his election he has devoted all of his time and energy to the study of this issue. His discussion of the silver question aroused such enthusi asm as nas seldom been seen a -John son county, AT BEATRICE. On Tuesday another fmeeting was held at Beatrice in the auditorium which was comfortably tilled. Judge Bush was elected chairman. Mr. De vlne again opened with an hours' ta k on the money question and waa again followed by Senator Allen on silver.

When the inquest began clerks and others were crowded into the hall. In order to prevent a repeti tion of yesterday's scenes a squad of ponce was present. Just before the inquiry beiran Judtre Jere Wi' ;on, a well known Washington lawyer, entered the hall with Smith Thompson, the elderly clerk who presided over the indignation meetinff yesterday.

Xkw York, June 14. The six story building tilled with "sweat shops" at .twelfth and Montgomery streets caught fire at 8:30 o'clock this morning and in tho wild rush to the street of the 850 workers, three were killed and several injured. The blaze started on the first floor from the stove used for heating irons and spread to the stairway at once. The InmHtes, Polish Jew men, -women and children of all ages, became panio stricken when they saw their mde of escape by the narrow stairway cut off and, there being no lire escape ap paratus at the rear, a fearful struggle ensued for the lire escape 'ladders in front The whole front of the building was soon alive with women and men light ing for places on the fire escapes. One would make an attempt to go down through the manhole in an escape when a dozen would pull him back:. Some girls lowered themselves through the manholes by their hands and dropped to the street without sustaining any injury. A few moments later the flames burst from the second and third floors and leaped nearly across the street This caused the people to dash through the manholes in the fire escapes and they fell on each other's heads as they came down and were piled tiers deep. The first to jump was a large woman. She landed on the iron railing in front of the building and rolled over dead. A man jumped further Into the street and his head struck the Kavement His skull was cracked an 1 e never moved. A second man fol lowed him in an instant He, too. struck his head but did not die imme diately, A younir irirl was the fourth dJieap. Khe fell on her side. Several leaped into a policeman's arms and were not hurt . Alice Naleston. acred IS. and her father, Morrln.were both badly burned and will probably die. Four others were hurt KANSAS . ANTI-TRUSTERS.

The Chicago pa pers paid no attention to tlfe bolters and Dr. S. McLallin, editor of the Ad vocate, who was secretary of the boltei'' meeting, undertook to give to the public the address and resolutions adopted. ilie resolutions are short and in brief are that since it has been demon strated that the mining of anthracite coal hns become a monopoly and the mining of bituminous coal fast becom ing one, the government should take possession of all coal fields by the ritfni oi eminent domain ana oper ate them for the people; that since it has been officially shown that coal monopolies are railroad monopolies and that the railroads are also fast getting control of the iron and timber lands of the country, the people should for their own protection take posses sion of tilt-so railroads; that the coun try should return to bimetalisin and that congress and the state legisla tures should enact laws to coudenm and seize for the benefi of the people the property of all trusts and coin bines.
