Republican members of the alliance
are dropping McKeighan in the second
district. A delegation sent by the farm
ers'' alliance of Hayes and Frontier coun
ties has returned from Red Cloud where
they went to investigate McKeighan's
record, and say they found it even worse
than had been reported, and that they
would advise their alliance not to sup
port him. The truth is that Harlan,
the republican candidate, in character as
a man and in ability and sincerity- as a
public official has been all that could
reasonably be demanded of a man; he is
intelligent, well-informed, honest, true
to his convictions, and has been right
along an anti - monopoly republican
through thick and thin. The farmers of
the Second district, whether members of
the alliance or not, will make a serious
mistake if they elect McKeighan instead
of Batten.
THAT BIG APPLE DEAL.
How a Cincinnati Firm Oatwitted Eastern
Bayers at Independence.
Apple buyers all over the country are
very much interested and surprised at
tho brilliant capture by a Cincinnati
fruit buver, who has secured the apple
orchard of L. P. Williamson, who lives
near Independence, Mo., and which is
said to be the best orchard of apples in
the country. F. Kushman, the purchas
er, in conversation with a Times-Star
reporter, said: "There is no doubt that
I have secured the best orchard in the
United States. There is scarcely an im
perfect apple in the lot. I paid 812,000,
and will get about 8,000 barrels of good
fruit. There are 140 acres in the orch
ard, and I would not give 8G,000 for the
whole farm. The trees are twelve years
old and this is the first good crop they
have borne, or probably will bear for a
great many years. I had to steal a
march on the other buyers in order to
get a bargain. The farmers all knew
New York and Chicago dealers, but not
those of Cincinnati. I said that I want
ed a couple of carloads of apples. I was
told to ro to some of the dealers. Well.
I got some men to help me talk, and
when the owner of the orchard offered to
take S12.000, 1 took him up at once. He
tried to bluff me by demanding 82,000
cash, but I pulled out the cash and asked
for a receipt. Well, that phazed him.
Here is the receipt and there are a dozen
of the worst sold apple buyers from New
York and Chicago at Kansas City, that
ever you saw. My desire to buy a couple
of carloads threw them off tho track and
thev did not consider me worth watch
ing.'
Are there no good apples in
local
orchards?" asked tho reporter.
"No. They ore specked with rot, or
are knotty. It is simply impossible to
get good apples anywhere but in Mis
souri, and not all there are perfect.
Besides many farmers want to pack them
themselves, and instoad of picking them,
they shake the trees. That, of course,
bruises them and renders them liable to
spoil. I sent men from Cincinnati to
pack my apples."
"Wh will you pnt them on the mar
ket?" "About the 1st of February."
Where is the best market?"
"All through the South. One agent
bold over 813,000 worth for me at New
Orleans alone, last season, and other
places were sold to accordingly."
"How do you keep them so long?"
"They are packed and placed in cold
storage at a temperature of 32 and there
the will keep indefinitely. Farmers
make a mistake by storing them in warm
cellars where they are sure to rot after
a time."
Some one has been to the trouble and
expense of sending us a copy of the
"Transactions Iowa Horticultural So
ciety" for 1889, and an interesting vol
ume it is. An article by J. C. Ferris of
Hampton, on marketing trees and fruits,
is well worth the attention of the whole
country. He cites the dealing firm of
L. L. Ma' & Co. of St. Paul, who raise
no treee, yet employ more men and make
more money than any nurseryman in the
west. Says Ferris: "Some of my neigh
bors with whom I deal in their line have
paid L. L. May four times my price for
articles for sale at their very doors."
He asks these questions: "What are we
going to do that the planter may know
what he plants? That worthless trash
shall not be sold and warranted to live
one year, by parties who only make
promises good provided they want a
second order? That our industry, sec
ond to none in nobility, become not a
hiss and by-word among men? What
shall we do to retain for ourselves part
of the immense sum now more than
wasted on profligates?" These are per
tinent and timely questions, in Nebraska
and elsewhere, as well as in Iowa. We
believe that Nebraska, long ere this,
would have been a great fruit-growing
state if the earlier settlers had secured
tho proper trees, and we know that the
frauds on this line have been stupendous.
The law-making power should be in
voked, and an effective remedy devised.
"If the constitution of Iowa will not
permit the suppression of fraud, the
constitution must bo amended. If the
constitution of our country will not per
mit the protection of the illiterate in
dustrious from tho educated sharper the
constitution of the United States should
be speedily amended. If society is so
constituted that every man is willing to
see his neighbor fleeced, provided he gets
part of the fleece, the constitution of the
world is in need of radical, far-reaching
amendment. If the law may not be in
voked to compel all men to respect the
rights of all other men, the law is little
better than anarchy." The secretary,
Geo. Van Houten of Lenox, la., is de
serving of praise for the completeness of
his report. Though a public document,
it is of real, practical value.
Hon. George W. E. Doraey.
The following commendatory article
in regard to the republican congressman
of tho f eat Third district is from the
Natio: ii Farm and Fireside published
.-.- Washington, D. C, and Alexandria,
Virginia:
"Another member who has been a firm
and consistent friend of the farmer since
entering public life, is Hon. George W.
E. Doreey, representing the Third dis
trict of Nebraska. In the present con
gress Mr. Dorsey's vote has been on the
right side of every question in which tho
farmers of the country are interested.
His earnest advocacy of the silver bill
and the powerful influence he exercises
in shaping the legislation that gave this
bill to the country is well known to
every one. 3lr. Dorsey was the ac
knowledged leader of the western re
publicans who made the fight for free
coinage and against the bullion re
demption feature of tho administration
bill. He with other western members
made every effort possible to amend the
tariff bill so as to give better standing
to the west, but owing to the per
sistent efforts of the opposition in
the house to delay the bill
and defeat its passage, those who
like Mr. Dorsey were not satisfied with
the measure were unable to secure time
for consideration of the amendments
which they proposed. Mr. Dorsey work
ed for the anti-trust bill, for the pure
food bill, the Butterworth option.biU, all
these measures being in the interest of
those engaged in agricultural pursuits.
No western member has more influence
on the floor of the house, and no man
has done more than he in securing the
passage of bills in the interest of his con
stituents. The farmers of his district
should see to it that he is returned to
congress. It is to such members as Mr.
Dorsey who have by their own efforts
and ability acquired standing in con
gress that the farmers of the district
must look to secure the passage of the
legislation that their interests impera
tively demand.
And we are glad to add Mr. Dorsey
stood squarely by and voted for the
pure lard bill."

I. L. Albert.
The republican and people's independ
ent candidate for county attorney was
born in Clearfield county, Pennsylvania,
Dec. 28, 1856.
His father being engaged in the lum
ber business, this was also the occupa
tion of young Albert until he was nine-
' teen vears old, at which time he came
west, attending the Western college at
Toledo, la., of which his uncle, E. B.
Kephart, was president, and of which he
is a graduate.
Under the direction of Hon. F. C.
Hormel, a prominent attorney of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, he studied law, and was
admitted to practice in Plymouth coun
ty. He practiced in Iowa courts till
18SG, when he came to Albion, Neb.,
where he had an extensive practice until
last fall, when health failed him, and ho
spent the winter months on the Pacific
coast. Early last spring he returned to
Nebraska, and with J. D. Stires, esq.,
opened a law office in this city.
By his acquaintances here Mr. Albert
is regarded as a young man of excep
tionally good ability, a bright lawyer,
and one who will be a credit to himself
and an honor to the political parties
which have selected him as their candi
date for the important office of county
attorney.
Henry KTXCK,of Richland precinct,
lost the two last fingers of his right hand
yesterday morning while at work on a
threshing machine. A device came loose
and while fixing it his hand was caught
in a chain tearing off the two last fin
gers and badly bruising another Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Zerzan met with a
serious accident Sunday evening while
returning from Mr. Wavra's place north
west of here. When coming down the
hill near the brewery, Mr. Zerzan at
tempted to drive around another team
when the buggy was upset throwing
them to the ground, breaking Mrs. Zer
zan's arm and two of Mr. Zerzan's ribs,
besides otherwise badly bruising them.
They have been carefully attended since
and are getting along as well as might
be expected under the circumstances.
Schuyler Sun.
Seven minutes was time enough for
Frank P. Slavin to conquer Joe Mc
Auliffe in the prize fight which has ex
cited so much attention among the
sporting fraternity. McAuliffe struck
Slavin in the face several times, which
he seemingly didn't care for, but Slavin
watched his chance, and, in the second
round, lunged forward, giving McAuliffe
a very severe, stunning blow over the
heart, from which he did not recover; a
diagonal upper cut blow, falling full on
the point of the jaw finished the con
test. The heavy weight championship
of the world, together with a purse of
1,000 goes to Australia. No arrests
were made. It is a great pity that such
exhibitions of brutality are not sup
pressed. They ought to be impossible
in any civilized community.
WubiBgtoH Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.
The conference committee would have
reported the tariff bill today if no time
had been lost through democratic filli
bustering in the house, which compelled
the house republican members of the
committee to be in their seats in the
house when they might just as well have
been at work upon that measure. The
committee has almost completed its
work and the bill will probably bo re
ported Tuesday or Wednesday ut tho
latest, unless the lack of a republican
quorum delays it and, as usual, the nu
merous democratic prophecies of irre
concilable differences among the repub
licans failed to materialize; there has
been no trouble whatever up to this
writing and none is expected. The re
publicans of the committee were unani
mously in favor of the reciprocity amend
ment, and they were also unanimous for
a new amendment extending tho time
for removing imported goods from bond
ed warehouses to February 1, 1891.
Only the other day democrats in con
gress, and editing newspapers, were
heaping abuse upon Secretary Windom
because he did not place the entire cash
surplus of the government at the dispo
sal of the New York speculators who
were yelling "panic" as loud as they
could, and now that all danger of a panic
has been avoided by the able manner in
which Secretary Windom put a very
large sum of money legitimately into
circulation, these very same democrats
are abusing Mr. Windom for doing it,
and accusing him of having exceeded his
legal authority in paying out money to
relieve the money market; one of them
Senator Cockrell giving utterance to
his criticism on the floor of the senate.
That's a fair specimen of what the dem
ocratic party has been doing for thirty
years; it always opposes what the re
publican party does, no matter how
much statesmanship and patriotism may
be displayed by that party.
The president signed the river and
harbor bill within twenty-four hours
after he' received it.
The bill closing the mails to all matter
pertaining to lotteries, including news
papers which publish their advertise
ments, was signed by the president at
the same time, and the high-priced lot
tery lobby are now engaged in trying to
discover some way to break the force of
the new law. It is understood that they
have advised the Louisiana lottery com
pany to employ several prominent gen
tlemen, including Mr. Grover Cleveland,
as attorneys for the purpose of testing
the constitutionality of the law in the
courts.
Superintendent Porter of the census
bureau who was dangerously ill last
week from nervous prostration brought
on by worry and overwork, is much bet
ter, though not yet entirely out of
danger.
To say that the present condition of
affairs in the house of representatives is
disgraceful is a very mild way of putting
it. Another week has been entirely
wasted by the democratic hide-and-seek
method of breaking a quorum, and so
determined were these skulkers to get
out of the chamber every time an at
tempt was made to do any business that
several of them did not hesitate when
they found one of the doors locked to
kick it open in order to get out before
their names were reached in the roll
call. One of these kicking democrats
was representative Kilgore, of Texas,
who several years ago earned the title of
"bully" by bis anxiety to fight a man
old enough to be his father. His valiant
assault on the door is worthy of a place
beside Don Quixote's chargeon the wind
mills, and Sancho Panza's place was
filled by Amos Cumings, an able jour
nalist, who lately imagines himself a
politician. There is only one remedy
for this state of affairs. That is, to get
a quorum of republicans on the floor of
the house, and for this the republican
managers have been striving for several
weeks without success. If they can get
a quorum of republicans to stay here for
a week they could pass all the measures
necessary, and if the quorum does not
materialize by the time the tariff bill is
reported from conference, serious trouble
is feared. Every day republicans expect
to see that quorum, but they have been
disappointed so often that they are al
most losing hope.
Krpablii'Rn Platform.
The republicans of Nebraska reiterate
and cordially indorse the fundamental
principles of the republican party as
eunciatcd by successive national repul
licr.n conventions from 1850 to 18.H8 and
believe the republican party capable of
dealing with every vital issue that con
cerns the American people, wherever the
rauk and file of the republican party are
untrammeled in the exercise of their po
litical rights.
Wo heartily indorse tho wise and con
servative administration of President
Harrison. We also fully approve the
wise action of the republican members
of both houses of cougress in fulfilling
the pledges of the party in legislation
upon the coinage of silver and other
measures of national importance and
congratulate the country upon the con
tinued reduction of tho national debt.
We most heartily indorse tho action of
the republican congress in passing the
disability pension bill and a republican
president who approved the same and
regard it as an act of justice too long
delayed because of tho opposition to all
just pension legislation by a democratic
congress; yet we do not regard it as the
full recognition of the great debt of oi
ligation which tho government and tho
people owe to those heroic men by rea
son of whoso sacrifice and devotion the
union was saved and the government
restored. Wo do further repeat our
declaration in favor of just and fair serv
ice pensions graded according to length
of service for every soldier and sailor
who fought in behalf of tho union, and
by reason of- whoso services and devotion
the government now exists.
Wo hold an honest, popular ballot
and equal representation of all the peo
ple to be the foundation of our republi
can government and demand effective
legislation to secure tho integrity and
purity of elections, which are the foun
dation of all public authority.
Wo favor such revision of the election
laws of the state as will guarantee to
every voter tho greatest possible secrecy
in the casting of his ballot and secure
the punishment of any who attempt the
corruption or intimidation of voters, and
we favor the Australian ballot system
for incorporated towns and cities, appli
cable both to primary and regular elec
tions so tar as it can conform lo our
organic law.
We opposo land monopoly in every
form, demand tho forfeiture of unearned
land grants and tho reservation of the
public domain for homesteaders only.
Wo recognize thoright of labor to or
ganize for its protection and by all law
ful and peaceful means to secure to
itself tho greatest reward for thrift and
industry. We are in favor of laws com
pelling railroads and manufacturers to
use all appliances which science supplies
for tho protection of laborers against
accident. We demand the enactment of
a law defining tho liability of employers
for injuries sustained by employes in
cases where proper safeguards have not
been used in occupations dangerous to
life, limb or health; railway and other
public corporations should bo subject
to control through tho legislative power
that created them. Their undue infiu
enco in legislation and imposition of
unnecessary burdens upon tho people
and illegitimate increase of stock or
capital should bo prohibited by strin
gent laws.
We demand of tho state that tho
property of corporations shall be taxed
tho same as that of individuals; that tho
provisions of our constitution, requiring
the assessment of franchises shall be en
forced by suitable legislation.
Wo demand the reduction of freight
and passenger rates on railroads to cor
respond with rates now prevailing in
adjacent states in the Mississippi valley,
and we further demand that tho next
legislature shall abolish ail passes or
free transportation on railroads, except
ing for employes of tho railroad com
panies. We demand tho establishment of the
system of postal telegraphy, and request
our members in congress to vote and
work for government ownership or con
trol of the telegraph.
Wo indorse the action of the inter
state commission in ordering a reduction
of tho grain rates between tho Missouri
riyer and lake ports.
We favor the modification of the stat
utes of our state in such manner as shall
prevent the staying of judgments se
ciired for work and labor, and tho enact
ment of such laws as shall provide for
the speedy collection of tho wages of our
laborers.
We favor a revision of the tariff in the
interest of tho producer and laborer.
Tho import duties on articles of common
use should be placed as low as is con
sistent with tho protection of American
industries.
We denounce all organizations of cap
italists to limit productions, control
supplies of the necessities of life and
advance prices as detrimental to tho
best interests of society and as unjusti
fiable interference with tho natural laws
of competition and trade and ask their
prompt suppression.
The republican party has given the
people an elastic currency of gold, silver
and paper, and has raised the credit of
tho nation to one of the highest of any
country in the world, and its efforts to
fully remonetize silver should bo contin
ued until it is on a perfect equality as a
money metal with gold.
Owners of public elevators that receive
and handle grain for storage should be
declared public warehousemen and com
pelled under penalty to receive, store,
ship and handle tho grain of all persons
alike, without discrimination. The state
regulating charge for storage and in
spection. All railroad companies should
be required to switch, haul, receivo and
ship the grain of all persons alike, with
out discrimination.
We favor tho enactment of more strin
gent usury laws and their rigid enforce
ment under severe penalties.

Grapes and the Lawn.
Raking the lawn is a common mistake.
The aftermath and leaves from the trees
should remain on the ground. They
furnish the best possible protection to
the roots during winter, shielding them
from the wind and drying atmosphere.
It is folly to remove them and attempt
to supply their place by barn manure.
This is not so good for tho plants, nor
can it be spread so evenly nor be made
to fit so neatly over tho root6. Tho
snows of winter and the rains of spring
beat them down, and the new growth
60on covers them completely, out of
sight and beyond tho reach of the lawn
mower.
As soon as the leaves have fallen, the
grape vines should be loosened from the
frames, and allowed to drop to the
ground. They should be carefully
pruned before winter comes. The late
and immature wood should be carefully
removed, as it cannot survive the winter.
If this is done there will be no complaint
of dead vines in the spring. The vines
should be carefully mulched for several
feet around with stable manure. A light
covering over the vines themselves will
lie an advantage in tho spring in retard
ing early growth. The mulching is en-
tirely for the purpose of retaining moist
ure around the roots. The cold does
them no injury, but the drying winds of
our climate will sometimes rob them of
vital moisture. Uncle Lewis.
