Fax.ts Citv voted electric light bonds, two to one. "Nations that want protectors will Lave masters." TnnitE were 200 alliances organized in Nebraska during February. It is reported that Robert Lincoln thinks of tendering his resignation as U. S. minister to England. Habd rains at Now Orleans, and floods on the lower Mississippi caused much damage to property, last week. The last report fron the Burlington & Missouri officials is that tho car shops will be located on the land offered them near Zeidmer's belt line addition, about two miles southeast of Lincoln. It was reported one day last week that the Cherokee boomers take possession of the Btip in the face of the troops and police. Fully 5,000 people have crossed over and staked out claims near Arkan sas City, Kas. The president has nominated Col. William Smith, "to be paymaster general with the rank of brigadier-general; Chas. B. Wilson, surveyor-general of Louisiana; Theophilus F. Smith of St. Paul, super visor third census district of Minnesota. Detective Haze was down to Platts mouth one day last week, to examine the man confined in jail on a charge of larceny. He fills the bill exactly, and very likely is the third party in the mur der of Mr. and Mrs. Jones near Omaha with NeaL Ho gavo his namo as Sher man Whipple, but at Lincoln, where they traced him, he gavo his name as W. C. Sherman. Orson Sobees, aged 87 years, living alone not far from Lyons, Neb., was burned to death on the morning of March 14th. The fire is believed to have caught from a lamp. His son discovered the fire and hastened with all his speed to relieve him, but when he got to him he was dead, his legs and both arms be ing burned off. The house and contents were destroyed. In somo quarters there is a hue and cry against the proposition for the gov ernment to loan money to farmers at a low rate of interest, or free f roiri interest" altogether, on landed security. One of the most serious objections urged is that it would be class legislation. Land is everywhere regarded as the best of se curity, and there is no reason why the land owner should not fare as well at the hands of the government as the bond-holder who starts a national bank. Joe Shellenbebger, who is charged with being an accomplice of NeaTs in the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, had his preliminary hearing before Justice Morrison. Upon his own confession and other testimony, the justice decided that the prisoner be held, without bail, to answer the action of the district court. In his confession Shellenberger changes the murder on Neal and a third man whom he did cot know. He de scribes him as being about 30 years old, sandy complexion, freckles on his face, reddishsandy hair and weighs about 1G5 .pounds. The people are the government. The general welfare is the sole motive for having a government. The good citizen obeys the laws, the good official fills his proper function in enforcing the laws as they exist. If the laws are not right, mend or repeal them; the official who has any other, rule of conduct than the letter and the spirit of the law touching his duties is serving some other interest than the general welfare, and deceiving himself, to say nothing worse. These general remarks are applicable at all timrn. aad especially just now to the fUte teas of transportation. - EVEBTTHING low Prices. SAMPLES. NEff Ml Staaford'H Schene. Senator Stanford in presenting his resolution to the senate last week, rela tive to loans by the government, direct to individual land owners and occupants, had this to say: From the earliest cizilization there has existed in all countries a need of some commodity that will stand as a repre sentative of values through which ex changes can be made without the com modities themselves being passed from hand to hand. In process of time, gold and silver came into use for this purpose of equalizing exchange, and today when stamped by responsible governments these metals have a value as money far beyond any possible value they might have were they only used in the arts. But it is obvious that their value as legal tender depends us much on the government stamp :is does tho paper which is stainjtcd by tho government and made legal tender. Money becomes valuable :is it stimulates industry and facilitates tho exchange of the pro ducts of man's labor. Property itself is according to the uses to which it is ap plied. Thus, supposing a man's wages were $1 a day, 3100 would employ 100 men one day, but could the product of the labor of those KM) men be immedi ately utilized, tho 8100 might give em ployment to 100 men every work day in the year. The government .bond is val uable to the holder on account of the interest it earns. As an energetic factor in the transactions of men, it 'only amounts to tho percentage which it draws; but when the bondholder, by do positing it with tho government receives back 90 per cent in government bills, 90 per cent of its value becomes energized into an active commodity, giving em ployment to the energies of the country. In like manner, if the farmer were able to borrow from the government, without interest, a certain amount of its bills, giving his farm as security therefor, to that extent his land would become an active force, and he would be enabled, while giving employment to the extent of the money loaned him, to improve his farm and increase its value to the full amount of the loan. Thus the govern ment loan would be doing double duty. Now, the activities of this money do not terminate with its expenditure by the farmers; those who have received it in their turn will make use of it as ener-. gizing factor in the forces of life to an indefinite period. As money employs labor it brings to life as certainly force labor begetting labor as certainly as its fruits are valuable. Another way by which wo can appreciate what money actively used may perform in ftie settle ment of balances is to be found in the value of commodities produced and ex changed compared with the amount of money in circulation. How far the boundless resources of our country shall be put into activity depends not only upon the active industry of our people, but upon the power necessary to induce that industry; and it should be the fos tering care of the government to see that such industry receives every en couragement. An abundant supply of money means to individuals of capacity a field for the use of their abilities in prosecuting their various callings of life, and will be par ticularly valuable to associations of in dividuals by affording them facilities for obtaining capital for the transactions of every kind of business. An abundance of money means universal activity, bringing in its train all the blessings that belongs to constantly employed, in dustrious, intelligent people. If these proposed loans could be made by the government without risk I do not think that there would bo any serious obstacle in the way of the accomplishment of the object of this resolution. In my opin ion ample protection would be afforded the government if it limited its loan to one-half or one-quarter the assessed value of the property given as security, and upon the appraisement of govern ment officers especially selected for that duty. It seems to me that the great thought of humanity should be how to advantage the great multitude of toilers, increase their power of production, and elevate their condition. We know that a great improvement is within the pro visions of Providence, and in the pros perity of the masses of people the pros perity of all is assured. Man is the rightful heir to peace and prosperity, and very much depends upon the intelli gence of governments to represent the associated capacities and interests of the whole. It is ono of the most effective means of placing at man's disposal the force inherent in tho value of property, in thoroughly furnishing a bountiful supply of money based upon unquestion able and secure values. PRACTICAL RELKilON. A Cowboy Aptly Mast rates HU Coaetptioa or Profitable Christianity. The Administratrix,"by Emma Ghent Curtis: "Lots of folks that would really like to do right think that servin' the Lord means shoutin' themselves hoarse praisin' his name. Now, Fll tell you how I look at that. I'm workin'for Jim here. Now, if I'd set round the house here tellin' what a good feller Jim is, and singin' songs to him and gettin' up in the nights to serenade him when he'd rather sleep, I'd be doin' jest like lots of Christians do, but I wouldn't suit Jim and I'd get fired mighty quick. But when I buckle on my chaps and rustle among the hills and see that Jim's herd is all right and aint sufferin' for water andieed and aint bein'run off the range and branded by cow thieves, then I'm servin' Jim as he wants to be served. And if I was ridin' for the Lord I'd be lieve that it was his wish that I'd ride out in the ravines of darkness and the hills of sin and keep his herd from bein' branded by the devil and run off to where the teed was short and dnnkjn' GOOD J.

"I don't see how I'd be helpin' the Lord out if I jest laid around the ranch, eatin' up the grub I could git, and git tin' down on my prayer bones and taffy in' the Lord up and askin' for more. Tho Bible says somethin' somewhere I've got the place marked with an ace of diamonds about how people serve the Lord by feedin' and waterin' and lookin' after the herd, and think it would do lots of people good to read it over. When a critttir has had his moral natur starved ever since he was a calf, and been let run a human maverick till the devil took after him and pnt his brand on him so deep that even in the spring, when the hair's longest and it's no trouble to tell whose herd it belongs to, it shows mighty plain that the cowpunchers of the Lord has been huntin' salary harder than they've been huntin' souls."

EdJoubnatj: Some prohibition friend has had sent to my address without con sulting me, a prohibition paper publish ed in New York called the Voice. I do not want it. When I do, I will send my name and the money to pay for it. lam a temperance republican, but in no sense a third party man. Prohibition is the only issue they have to build up a party, and why people of that belief should sink every other political inter est for that one idea, is too narrow for my comprehension. In I860, the rebel cry was secession, every other principle and pasty was abandoned. Fanlt is found with the republican party and ad ministration, the party that saved and made this great nation what it is today with the help of patriots of other parties, while the prohibition party, like the se cession party in 1860, propose to sink all and every other interest, to carry their scheme, regardless of every other need or public interest. If the people want to endorse the proposition, let them do so inside their party line. I for one could do so simply to try the experiment, although I have no faith in it. It is not and should not be a political party question, and bo far as I am concerned it shall not be. A question that belongs to the people should be tried by the people, with no sacrifice of party principle, and other political needs and beliefs. Any sect who desire the greatest good for the greatest number would not object to carry forward a reform in this manner if principle and honesty were the motives. If, to secure new reforms, it is always necessary to organize new parties, then there will be few reforms. It will take greater questions than woman's suffrage, prohibition or labor unions to make dis tinct or separate parties that will amount to any good to those engaged. Past history teaches that one idea parties must expect to make a one horse success. John Wise. "OCR ASSOCIATION." A Paper Read Before the Teachers' Associa tion at Platte Center by Miss Phon ie Cashing. As many do not seem to realize fully what is implied in the name "Teachers' Association," or the benefits that may be derived therefrom, I take this oppor tunity to present a few thoughts on the subject. An association of any kind is a union of persons who get together to discuss business for the mutual advantage of all. Our Teachers' Association then should be understood to be for the mu tual benefit of "the pedagogues of Platte county and for the advancement of edu cation in general. A special effort should therefore be made by every one to be present at these meetings. Whether old in experience and learned, for then your wisdom might be imparted to those less fortunate; whether beginningyour career as a teacher, for to you is due the ex perience and sympathy of those older; and as the conscience is assured of right, greater pleasure is taken in the work and all mutually benefited. This society, presided over by our county superintendent, Mr. Cramer, who we feel sympathizes with us in our fail ures and successes in the school room, has already had a number of very inter esting meetings, which have not only been fairly well attended, but carefully prepared programs have generally been responded to by those whose names were used. Ideas on school government and different ways of presenting subjects have been given in each a manner that a person seeking information could not hear without receiving benefit. The in termingling of ideaa always gives life and spice to subjects seemingly so dry. We do not wish those present, not en gaged in this special branch of labor, to think that we are some of those ever lasting "cranks' oa-school work, who think that their way is the best and on- Originator with hemstitched 5 and 6 inches deep also with tucks and hand-drawn work, also spaces for baby very fashionable this 49c and 59c a yard JSk, ly right way of accomplishing anything in the school room, far from it. We are willing and anxious to listen to the methods of any one disposed to express his views. All are at perfect liberty to take part with us. Speaking from personal experience, I know that in coming to these meetings we see the faces of those undergoing trials, similar to our own. One who stands continually aloof from all com munications with co-workers, will soon find a void in her work, and will natur ally fall into one way of doing things, and finally be looked upon as one be hind the times. Every parent wishes his child to de velop as rapidly and to become as intelli gent as other children, and to do this the child must necessarily have a teach er abreast with the times to direct his efforts. The farmers havo their "allianco" through which they are determined to advance their lino of work. We must keep paco with them. Let us then endeavor to swell the at tendance at our next meeting and awaken a greater interest in school work. May we have the presence and sympa thy of both teachers and parents, and may we 6ee tin cause of education ad vance in our midst. MONOPOLIES AND HOW TO MEET THEM. A Paper Read Before the Farmers' Institate by John S. Freeman. The word monopoly has become very common in our every day talk. A cor poration having entire control of any business is a monopoly. A trust is a com bination of monopolies or -corporations formed for the purpose of controlling whatsoever they manufacture or handle, allowing just enough to go onto the mar ket to keep up the demand. I will enumerate a few of the monopo lies and trusts that are drawing tribute from the people. The railroads, tele graph and express companies. There is the salt trust, the sugar trust, the steel trust, the iron trust, the nail trust, the whiskey trust, the coffin trust, the oil and many more too numerous to men tion. It is considered by a great many farm ers that the railroads are the greatest monopolies that we have to contend with. The cause of this may be that the farm ers have had more dealing directly with this corporation, and have become-better acquainted with their mode of operating. I will leave this question for the farmers to determine for themselves, which mo nopolies are working greatest injury to the farmers. Nearly all the manufacturing interests of our country have become, more or less monopolistic in their character. I will speak of this class more particularly hereafter. The question arises: How did these monopolies become so gigantic in proportion and so numerous? We will see. In the early history of our country there was a class of people, who were opposed to our form of free govern ment. That class or principle has ex isted through these many years, and a great many of them have been elected to congress within the last thirty years, and they, with tho influence of the lob bies, have been able to manipulate con gress as to have laws passed directly in the interest of corporations and mo nopolies. Had the government at all times been administered in strict accord ance with the constitution of the United States, there would have been no possi ble chance for monopolies and trusts to have gained a foot-hold in this govern ment. Time will not permit me to name the vast number of laws that have been pass ed in the interest of, and for the build ing up and nursing, cherishing and sustaining of these monopolies. I will say, without fear of contradiction, that congress has passed only two laws upon the finance question since 1865, beneficial to the farmers and laboring people of this country, but they have passed many against them. I will now call your attention to a few bills that are about to be, or have been brought before congress and which very likely will be passed before the present session closes. The Hon. Emery Dorsey, our representative of the big Third dis trict of Nebraskand representing about as many farmers as any one in congress, is asking to have the following bills passed: First The repeal of the law taxing the national banks one per cent upon their issue. Second. For national bankB to receive the full amount of par value of their bonds, (so he can loan to the farmers, as I understand he is doing at from two to four per cent a month). Third. He is also asking for bonds to be issued bearing two per cent and run ning fifty years, for the basis for national banking. Every farmer will have to help pay the interest upon those bonds if he never borrows a dollar from the bank. Where is the justice? Fourth. T tun on theU. P. railroad debt to ribbon to pass through it; these goods are season. We also show allovers to match a great bargain. P MS 1 fe the government will be extended fifty years at three per cent and the time of payment of the Central Pacific debt will be extended 100 years, at a lower rate of interest. This is simply a repetition of the class legislation that has been going on in congress for the past eighty years. If the farmers would ask for a little legis lation in their interest, in the way of a loan from the surplus money in the treasury, they would be told very soon that this is not a paternal government. Thirty years ago the millionaires of this country could be counted on the fingers of one hand and now they can be count ed by the hundred. Right here I wish to ask how people can accumulate one or two million dollars, much less one or two hundred millions of dollars but by robbing people, through class legislation. The farmers havo created and added to the wealth of our country in tho last three decades, thirty billionB of dollars, yet as a whole they are no better off today than they were thirty years ago. I now wish to call your attention to a class of monopolists operating under the high tariff, and I question very much their being beneficial to tho farmers of this country, as they are operating at the present time. The time was when we could ship a cargo of grain to Europe and exchange it for merchandise, but under the present system of tariff it cannot be done profitably, therefore the high protective tariff has virtually de stroyed our foreign market for farmers' produce. Mr. Dorsey told you in his campaign speeches, one year ago last fall, that the tariff was not added to the price of their goods, (and yet you be-, lieved him and voted for him), but what a falsehood. Again this high protective tariff has stimulated manufacturing to that ex tent that they have an over production of manufactured goods, and have to form trusts in order to control the manufacture and sale of goods, and to keep up the price. If the farmers would pattern after this class and unite in one grand trust so as to control the sale of their produce, then add the tariff (twenty cents per bushel) they might possibly make a living. As it is now the price of the farmers' produce is established in free trade Liverpool, and everything they buy the price is established on the basis of high pro tective tariff, or in other words the tariff is added. In conclusion I will say a few words in way of recommendation of "How to meet them." The surest, the wisest and the best plan is for the farmers and la borers, and all Who are interested in a free government, to unite in one solid phalanx and hurl the greedy cormor ants from power, who have violated their oaths, by not supporting the con stitution of the United States, elect men to office who will support the con stitution and give us a government of the people, by the people and for the people. A political reformation in this nation is the only remedy to check the rapid and wrongful aggregation of wealth. Blinded with prejudice we have follow ed corrupt and scheming demagogues, needlessly and thoughtlessly, until a moneyed oligarchy rules supreme. It is needless to say this or that party is responsible for all the ills that effect the body politic. Corporate influence elevates to office leaders in all parties who will serve their interests. The people, the source of power, have been sleeping upon their rights and have al lowed party ties to override principle. Crazed with sectionalism and filled with animosities engendered by our unfortu nate civil war, we are divided and fight ing'each other over a bone of the dead past, while soulless corporations, who have no politics, are united and control legislation in their own interest. .Men must be elected to office from the con servative middle classes; men who feel the inequality of law, from the associa tions and corrupting influences of the day. When this is done relief will come, we will never get it from the present bosses. Wake up, farmers, from your Rip Van Winkle sleep and if you can't see the hand writing on the wall, pray the Al mighty Ruler of the universe to con tinue the present hard times for one or two years more, at which time I think you will be ready to repent in sackcloth and ashes. Remember always that eter nal vigilance is the price of liberty. Washington Letter. From our regular correapoadeBt. The president was greatly surprised, not to say shocked, at the latest charge of editor Frank Hatton against Messrs. Boosevelt and Thompson, the two civil service commissioners appointed by Mr. Harrison. Mr. Hatton charges that the communications signed by Mr. W. D. Foulke, of Indiana, wmen were puouau i it week in the New York Times and in the St Louis Republic, and which charge the president and his cabinet v at 35c, CJ QK . with having entered into a conspiracy to break down the civil service reform sys tem and that the congressional investi gation was the result of that conspiracy, i were inspired by Messrs. Roosevelt and Thorn peon,, if not actually prepared by them. Both those gentlemen deny the charge, but tho fact that Mr. Foulke, who has been here for several weoks, has been a good deal in their company makes the thing look very bad. This added to the result of the investigation is enough to disgust the president with the whole business. The majority of the senate committee on elections have decided to report in favor of the republican senatorial con testants from Montana. This means practically that the republicans will be seated. It is expected that the bills for the admission of Wyoming and Idaho will be taken up by the house this week. The democrats will offer as a substitute for the Idaho bill an omnibus bill including New Mexico, Arizona and Idaho. The senato committee which has been trying so hard to find out how the pro ceedings of secret sessions get out, has at last got on the right track by sum moning senators to testify before it The house committee on elections will send a sub-committee of five members to Arkansas to investigate the killing of Col. Clayton, and to determine whether he or Mr. Breckenridge, who now holds the seat, was elected to the house from the Second Arkansas district. The district tax bill, which has al ready passed the senate, has been favor ably reported to the house. There is no doubt of its passing. Postal telegraphy has taken up a good deal of the time of the congressional committees on postoffices of late, and everybody that has been heard, except the representatives of the Western Un ion telegraph company, favor the idea of a postal telegraph system, some of them supporting the postmaster gener al's bill, which provides for leasing wires, and others, representative Wade's bill which provides for the government's erecting the wires. It seems pretty cer tain that the time is not far distant when a postal telegraph system will be in operation in this country. There have been altogether four out of the seventeen contested election cases decided by the house. Three of the re publican contestants have been seated and one case decided in favor of the democratic sitting member. The elec tion committee is working hard to get the other cases ready to report, but as each case averages about one thousand printed pages of testimony it is necessa rily very slow work. Senator Plumb's bill to declare for feited the lands granted to aid in the construction of railroads has been favor ably reported to the senate. That some sort of a silver bill will be passed by the present congress is certain, but whether it will bo the bill reported by the senate finance committee or sec retary Windom's bill is a matter of doubt; although Mr. Windom's bill is ahead so far, but comparatively few members have as yet committed them selves. Secretary Windom has by the pur chase of , bonds reduced the available surplus of the treasury to 328,000,000. He does not propose to reduce it below $20,000,000. The labor organizations are again hammering away at the house committee on labor, trying to obtain legislation to enforce the eight-hour law on all gov ernment work. Senator Quay was expected here this week but letters received from him say that he has decided to remain in Florida several weeks longer. As soon as he re turns it is expected that the republican congressional committee will be organ ized for the fall campaign. Senator Cnllom has introduced a bill appropriating $30,000 for the erection in this city a monument to John Ericson, the inventor of the Monitor. Backlen'x Arnica Salve. The best salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and posi tively cures piles, or no pay required.
