To the Kditor : Will yon kindly allow
me n few lines In llio iEn $ upon the nbovo
subject ? The tendency of the limes
scorns to bo toward combination. Every
kind of business is forming its syndicates.
Ucof production is controlled by syndi
cates. There nro ffrnln syndicates , bank
syndicates , land syndicates , railroad syn
dicates , manufacturing syndicates , print
ing syndicates , telegraph syndicates.
Combinations hnvo been made to impose
n patent upon intelligence , upon
MOWS , and as progress goes fdr-
waid in this direction wo may
look for attempts to inoiiopolue
the frco air of heaven , nnd a tavnmy oven
bo imposed upon tlio right to trump over
tlio public highway. Tno idea of f roe com
petition by individuals with thcso giunt
combinations is simply absurd. The day
of frco competition is gone by. Even iii
trade in groceries and dry goods , which
scorns now so frco , syndicates will soon
bp formed to conduct such business on a
'antic ' scale , and the individual trade
„
will bo ground to atoms between tlio
upper nnd nether millstones of combina
tion. In addition to tlio syndicates above
named , wo liavo tlio crowning one of all
the keystone of the arch the syndicate
of law , the syndicate of political power.
Each povvorltil syndicate is the creature
of law. And when the single combina
tion lacks inlltionco to proem o the special
laws it needs , it. pools its power with some
other combination upon the principle of
"you lieklo mo and I'll ' tickle you , " and
the needed laws are passed.
Tiie object of all tncso combinations is
to bleed the people , to uborb the wealth
of tlio country. The railroad syndicate
takes half of all tlio products raised , and
extortionate tolls on all goods brought in.
The bank syndicate receives inouov of
the government at ono per cent , and extorts -
torts ono to two per cent , a month on its
loans. The land syndicates acquire land ,
but roltise to sell , receiving as rent from
one-third to one-half of t no proceeds of
the tiller's labor , and gradually but sure-
Iv reducing them to serfs of the soil.
The political syndicate buys the repre
sentatives and judges , neutrali/ing the
ballot and practically destroying the
political liberties of the people.
What is loft to the people ? They must
syndicate their influence , syndicate their
votes. They must combine against com
binations. Tlioymust make a syndicate
for tlio passage of laws to conserve to
the liberties of tlio people , laws to make
the modern forces ot transportation servo
instead of enslave ns laws to bring the
railroads under llio same control ns
the common roads laws to give" govern
ment the same control of intelligence by
telegraphic symbols as it has ot intelli
gence by written symbols laws to put
banks upon an equality with individuals
as far as government favors arc con
cerned laws which will prevent the
monopoly of lands beyond the amount
required for actual use , cither by aliens
or citizens laws making .special privi
leges to special classes impossible. This
can only bo done by combhihtibn.'of.tlic" '
farmers , mechanics and laboring men , to
work unitedly to create a public senti
ment in favor of these tilings These
classes can nlvyays join the Farmers'
alliance. Organization is going forward
all over the state at a rapid rate. There
are no charter fees and no dues to the
State alliance.

Miss Jeffreys hovvlH ns Stcpnnlno Do
Molirwnrt In "Korjrct-Mc-Not. "
Miss Jeffreys Lewis appeared at the
Uoyd last night , for the fin > t time in
Omaha , in "Forgot-Mo-Nor , " a powerful
drama from the pen of Herman C. Mori-
vale , tlio author of "Our Joan. "
Tlio piny itself iqrjnbly put together ,
observes all the upities.has an easy action ,
and besides being fiilj/of / interesting sit
uations has an - Infutisoly thrilling de
nouement. Tlio principal character in
tlio play is the Frcnclnidventmcss whoso
victims t\ro fatedj ) ( > bypr remember her ,
and whoso favorite ( lowers , btrango to
say , are those vyiiibl ) , servo so often in
token of kind renunnuranco , the "foiget-
me-not. " The fctraiifeo career of this
woman is dopiitod' by Mi s Jef
freys Lewis in a manner which makes
ovnry outline , ovvry shade in tlio portraiture
traiture distinctly [ oijtlincd | to the most
' '
casual observer. J'ho'cruel , vindictive ,
liondish pasaions.Hof nliis woman , who
moves but to crush , itiro painted by tlio
master artist in' kuolt a manner as to
make tliojpicturo indelibly stamped upon
the mind of the poroon who MH > S it. So
perfect indeed is her"work that it is well
nigh impossible 4.0 criticise it at any
point.
Jeffreys Lewis possesses tlio power of
gliding gracefully from ono situation to
another , nnd in each ono her varied
powers finding full scope for their own
peculiar action. Now light and careless ,
now graceful and fascinating , now
tiger-like well nigh dorilbh in
her passion , spo is always
exquisite , superb , unsurpassed in every
emotion. In the final scene , where at
last broken down in spirit , she yields to
the idea that the avenger in the form of
death is uDoii her trupk nnd that her life
is the measure of expiation for her career
of crimd she rises to a height of acting
which is the poionilicatu > n of ghastly
horror. This was a lilting and tritluiphant
clininv to the performance which last
night held the audtonco enthralled from
betrilming to end.
The supporting company was good.
Miss Charlotte Tittoli and Miss Dora
Cranso gave satisfaction in their respec
tive parts. Tlio character of "Prince
Mnllcotto" received careful delineation at
the hands of W. II. Thompson. Mr.
Harry Marriboll ns "Sir Horace Wolby"
was strong nnd natural. At the matinee ,
"Forget-me-not" will bo repealed , and
this evening "Diplomacy" will bo given.

I am here again and stopping at the Mil

some changes in the method of buying
cattle for my Omaha establishment. As
it is now I liavo to buy all my cattle
from Kansas City. This winter has boon
too cold in Nebraska and what is worse
tlio railroad rates are lee high. There
may bo a change in tlio stock yard busi

although young is one of tlio best postetl
railroad men in the west. ] "I have just
made my first trip trip through Nebraska
and I have no adjectives too small for its
praise. I am of tlio opinion that tlioVa \ -
basli line will have a track in this state In
a very short time , and in order to get to
thc o favorite dominions there will be a
bridge required. Let the wiseacres guess
whore tlio point of location will bo. "

inent democrat and superintendent of the

several days , and still the packing house
organ mentioned him not. The lion.
Mr. Lett is not n small Iry by any means
in democratic political aflairs , and his
opinioi , of the Morton and Miller light is
rather "keen. " In fact , when askctl

for Kansas City , which everybody knows
is the next tiling to committing suicide.
The Stapling Affray.
Isaac Glover , the negro who stabbed
Mrytle Grant , his wiiite mistress on
Wcdncsdiry night , is still in jail , await
ing examination. Tlio woman is recover
ing , and tncro is n'ow every reason to
believe that she will pull through all
right. Dr. Swetman , who is attending
her , said to a reporter yesterday that
in his opinion it was not possible for the
wound to have been made accidentally
by tlio woman hernclf in llio struggle
with Glover. The cut is a very deep one ,
five or six inches in length , and must
have been made by a very powerful
blow.
Tlio police who liavo investigated tlio
case are of the opinion that the .story told
by Myrtle Grant is a device to bhield her
negro lover. Site sticks to it persistently ,
however , and tlio closest cross-examina
tion fails to shake her. The knife with
which the culling was done lias not yet
been found.
