THK t'OMCr OF T/IB ALMAXCE.
On all aides the question Is nskcd
what does the Farmers' nlHanco pro
pose to do ? What wilt bo its policy It
trying to attain th'o objects for which It
members are banded together ? Will the
alliance enter the political arena
as n new party or will it slmplj
demand that existing parties filial
endorse lt principles nnd insist thu
their candidates shall pledge themsolvo
to carry Into effect the measures whicl
it favors ?
"While nobody can definitely foretol
the course which the alliance shall dc
cldo to pursue in the impending cam
palgn , Mr. J. Burrows , editor of its oDl
cial organ , 1ms ventured to outline the
policy which the alliance is likely to
adopt. Mr. Burrows very emphatically
disclaims any intention on the part of the
alliance to organire a now party
The experience of former campaigns has
taught him that the men who uslcthoal
Hnnco to become a party by itself would
adopt a means to secure their end
which would undoubtedly defeat them
and at the same tlmo destroy the alli
ance as a non-partisan organization. In
other words , Mr. Burrows believes thai
the alliance will be in position to cnrrj
out its aims nnd objects bj
throwing the balance of power whore it
will count for the most. Ho believes
the alliance can dictate platforms ant
candidates on the state and congress
sional tickets by holding itself ready to
support the nominees of either parti
that are most friendly to the farmers
interest and most likely to carry out tholr
wishes. On this point Mr. Burrows
pertinently says :
It Is simply disgraceful for a-farmcr state
lilco Nebraska to send to congress more medi
ocre laud agents , bunkers , speculators ani
professional politicians. It is the duty ant
tlio trim policy of tlio alliance to reform this
matter. "Whut is the best muf most practical
method of doing it ? First , let us nsccrtnln ex
actly wtmt wo want. What Is Itt It Is men
who will honestly represent our Interests
and secure legislation to promote thorn.
* * * The nc\t question is how to select
those men. This is the way to do it : From
this time on consult In your subordinate alli-
nncc as to tlic men you want for members ol
the legislature. Como to an agreement on
the matter nnd at your next county alliance
compare notes with the delegates from your
county and agree there upon your men If you
can. Whcro there arc several counties hi
your district appoint conference committees
from your county alliance , and hold a confer
ence for your district. Having agreed upon
your men take the most effective agencies at
hnnd to get them into the legislature. You
have n right to secure their nomination by
any party you can induce to endorse them ,
If you wish to do so. You have a right to run
them ns independent candidates if you prefer
that. You hnvo n perfect right to Tote for
nnd elect them without the formality
of any nomination , if that suits you bettor.
In cither case let the alliance endorse them ,
nnd hnvo a care In all qases to select men of
such character as will command the respect
and suffiagcs of men of till parties.
Where professional politicians , railroad
tools or political atiikcrs are placed in nom
ination , Ignore such nominees at once , and
bend every energy to elect the men you have
selected.
When it becomes necessary to call inde
pendent people's conventions let nil men par
ticipate in the selection of delegates. Do not
call n convention of delegates to ho sent ex
clusively by alliances. The reasons for this
are obvious and many , mid need not bo heio
stated. * * * * Upon ono thing let us
fully determine , that Is not to vote for nny
man for any stuto olllco who is not wholly in
sympathy with the objects of the nlli.mco.
Tliis in the main is a , very level
lioadcd programme which Tim BUB can
liearllly commend. The only trouble
with the alliance heretofore has been
that it has rushed headlong into pitched
jattlos wholly unprepared , when it could
liavo secured what it was fighting for by
nnking its demand upon the dominant
| iartv and pooling its strength upon can
didates that wore known to bo in sym
pathy with its aims.
TAMIFF COXSWKIIATIOX.
According to nro < rramino. the tariff
Jill will bo taken up in the house today.
The intention is to limit the discussion
of the measure to six days , which istimo
enough , after which amendments wilHjo
troposed and acted upon. A canvass of
.ho" republicans of the house made a
week ago showed that a. majority of
, hcm favored the bill reported from the
ways and means committee , but there
was a considerable minority not
satisfied with certain features of
the measure , so that oppo
sition will not bo confined to the demo
crats. The latter may bo expected to do
ill in their power to encourage amond-
nonts on the part of republicans for low
ering proposed duties , and if the demo-
orats should unite in supporting such
amendments the result might bo numer
ous and material changes in the commit
tee bill.
It Is questionable whether the canvass
of opinions made a week ngo can bo
safely accepted as representing the
n-osent position of all thobo who
lion expressed tholr approval of
ho tariff bill as reported. A con
siderable number of tlieso mom-
) or& of the hon&o , particularly from Now
England and the northwest , have sineo
received information regarding the sen-
Imontin these sections which it is to bo
u'osumed has not boon without effect
ipon them. The publlo discussion of the
n-oposcd tariff bill has not served to
strengthen It in popular favor. The pro-
msal of a general advance of duties that
vlll materially increase the average rate
llsappoints the popular expectation that
ovlslon would bo downward instead of
ipward , and despite tlio plausible argti-
nonts advanced by the framers of the
bill , It Is widely apprehended that Its
effect would bo to increabo the burden of
nrilT taxation without nny componsat-
ng benefit to the people. Tn a word ,
ho proposed bill is not generally re
garded as a proper answer to the demand
) f the country for a just revision and re-
orm of the tariff in the interest of the
> cople , and as a fair fulfillment of the
ilcdgo of the republican party in this
natter. It may bo granted that the
measureIs not wholly objectionable ,
but in its general character there U
10 prouilso of relief to the poole -
) lo , anil a revision of the tariff that does
lot los&cn the burden of taxation will
llsrcgard a nearly universal nnd urgent
lomund which the party in power cannot
vtTord to ignore.
The present indications are that the
) lll of the ways and moans committee
vill pass the house , with perhaps some
Immaterial amendments , but there is
i-cason to believe that it will bo exton-
Blvely ch-ingcd in the senate. Sonatora
have had very little to say respecting it ,
but cueh as have given any intimation of
their intentions liavo clearly indicated
that they are not fnvorablo to n policy of
'generally advancing duties nnd Increas
ing the aggregate of tariff taxation
rKDKItAL KLUCTIOX
Tlio opinion obtains In Washington
that it is not probable there will bo nny
now legislation at the present session of
congress for the regulation of federal
elections. The caucus of republican
senators decided to pans u law , and it is
possible the Iloar bill or a similar meas
ure may bo adopted by that body , but
the republicans of the house are not
united on the subject , and It is not be
lieved that nny action will bo taken in
that body. When some ten days ngo the
committee of fifteen appointed by
the house republican caucus uiol to con
sider this subject , the fact was developed
that several members were reluctant to
enter upon n radical policy of federal
interference with elections in the south.
Two sub-committees wore appointed to
draft separate bills representing the dif
ferent views of members of the commit
tee , ono a swooping general law and the
nthnp n. mnnKiii-n nvtnniHnrr snmnwlint.
the present supervisory system , but
thus far neither of these committees has
reported , or so far as known has made
nny progress in the performance , of the
duty assigned it.
The bill introduced early in the session
by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts , which
was radical in its provisions , is under
stood to have been practically dropped.
It never had the promise of tlio support
of a majority of the republicans of the
house , while it was not generally re
garded with favor by the party at largo ,
many republican papers having con
demned it. The bill introduced
in the senate by Mr. Hoar is
more conservative in its terms , and it is
not easy to see how it can bo reasonably
objected to by nny ono who desires hon
est elections , but it has boon most vigor
ously assailed by southern members and
by the southern prc&s , ono senator going
to the extent of declaring that if such a
law wore adopted it would lead to blood
shed and imperil the paaco nnd order of
the countiy.
It is undoubtedly a fact that a great
many republicans , while admitting that
a grave wrong and injustice is
done to citbons of the south
under present conditions , are averse lo
any legislation which would bo adequate
to the correction of the evils of the lire-
vailing system. They will readily grant
that it is a very serious matterto deny
hundreds of thousands of citizens in the
faouth their political rights , and thereby
force upon them representatives with
whoso political views they have no
sympathy. They will concede that this
is not only a wrong to the constituencies
whoso will is 7iot permitted to bo ex
pressed in the choice of representatives ,
but to the whole country. Yet
when it is proposed that congress shall
exorcise its constitutional power to rem
edy thib injustice by providing a method
to secure free elections and a fair count
in every congressional district of the
country , these republicans ' counsel
against it.
The temper which the democrats in
congress are manifesting regarding this
matter seems likely to effect its purpose
of preventing the proposed legislation ,
at least for the present session. Should
the next congress bo republican , however -
over , there can bo no doilbt that legisla
tion will bo provided for regulating federal -
oral elections which will everywhere
protect all citi/.ens in the free exorcise
of their political rights.
XKH' YORK'S XEtt' I1ALLOT LAW.
The now ballot law of Now York ,
which goes into effect July 1 , is consid-
ftp'ililv inn/nflo/l fpmnir1int. . ? lnimt.n na
the Australian system , though preserv
ing the more vital principles of that plan.
It is n compromise , necessitated by the
fact that Governor Hill three times ve
toed bills based chiefly upon the Aus
tralian system , but it insures to the
voters of the state in nil future elections
n complete system of secret voting with
exclusive official ballots , maintained at
tlio public expense , operated by sworn
public officials , and removed entirely
: rotn the control and interference of po
litical organizations.
No other state in the union has boon
so much in need of a law of this kind us
Now York , whoso great cities have been
the boats of more corruption and fraud
n elections than over wore practiced in
my other portion of the country. It islet
lot to bo expected that this law will do
iwuy wholly with corruption , but if it is
'aithfully enforced , and the machinery to
iccomiilish this would seem to bo nmnlo.
t will certainly prevent fraud , or ro-
luco it to the minimum. The bold and
unscrupulous practices by which Tarn-
imny has maintained political control in
, ho city of Now York and Boss Mc-
lAiighlin has managed to dominate
3rooklyn will no longer bo available.
The political machines will bo lo a largo
extent shorn of their power , and with its
oss will go most of the abuses and ovlls
hat have made politics in the two
great cities of the Empire state
i reproach to the country and
n menace to republican institutions.
The credit of this legislation is duo
vholly to the republican party , whoso
oprobcntatlves in the legislntu.ro have
) orslstontly fought for it for three or
our years against the united democratic
opposition , legislative and executive.
The effect of the law will bb' fo Increase
, ho power of the intelligent nnd honest
> olltlcal sentiment of the bhito in the
logrco that the Ignorant and dishonest
element among the voters nrg placed bo-
end the absolute control and manlpula-
lon of the political machine , nnd this
cannot fall to bo in the Interest of bettor
government , state and munlclp.nl.
Another raid Is promised by the chief
of pollco upon parties who are suspected
of illicit intercourse. Suspect women
vho are lodging In tenement blocks on
forth Sixteenth street and on streets
adjacent are to be dislodged and scat-
orod into other pnits of the city.
It strikes us that these spasms of
Morality on the part of the i > ollco are
not what they profess to be. All such
raids have a tendency to 'pro-
mote blireliuiittlliijr nnd immoral
ity in % [ ( j police force. What
else can be expected when policemen are
omployedjip > jclitnb over transoms and
pry intopta-lvato jooms occupied by
women of ij Uofwblo character ?
Tlio fuigi$6n of tlio police force Is to
enforce Inland order. It is their duty
to arrest slwot walkers nnd persons of
both BOXCS wlfo conduct themselves in a
dlbordorlynJinnor. . If the tenants in
any building create n disturbance they
may cntor < ' 'andarrest ' the offenders.
Butitls cn'ttVvly out of their line of duty
to hunt through the corridors of business
blocks and lay in wait behind the blinds
of private houses to ascertain whether
the occupants are conducting themselves
in accordance with the moral code. If
the co-occupants of any block or dwell
ing feel olTcnded or desire to rid them
selves of bad neighbors lot them , make
complaint at the pollco court
against the owner of the building
-who is liable under the law , and if they
see fit they may nlso make specific com
plaints against individuals. Then the
police .will properly come in nnQ make
the arrest of any and every person
charged with a breach of the law.

CuntxnA , In. , Mny 8. Francis Murphy bus
been bore , pierced us with the spear of Ariel ,
nnd there has been n tnuisfornmtlou. Every
body Is praising him. Party lines , sectarian
furrows , social distinctions , fporsonnl differ
ences wcro nil dissolved , run togetner and
made smooth by the loving spirit of thismnglc
Iilsh-Americaii. I think over n thousand
pledges of total abstinence wore given ninny
of them by men long addicted to ex
cess , nnd rcgnrdcd ns hopeless cases.
A now birth ami n now born life
was given to hundreds of others. And
this Is not hnlf of his work. I hnvo resided
hero for n qunrter of n century this mouth
mid never witnessed such n universal spirit of
brotherly love such u harmonious , wholo-
gouled , united feeling hi church nnd society
ns Francis Murphy 1ms generated. Tlio blos.s-
Itigs and benedictions of God nro certainly
resting upon the slmplo methods of this ro-
murkulilo mnii. Ho 1ms found the philoso
pher's stone. But few men can resist the in
fluences of his generous heart. Ho will not
brook ituy intrusion of politics , nor nuvthlng
sectarian. Party , rrccdaiul personalityhowill
hnvo none of. Ho isnil things to nil men if
bv t ho grace of God ho can snvo them.
1 Jo has climlxid by a terrible struggle up to n
platform that rests down upon the Uoek of
Ages , and with loving voice nud outstretched
hands invites , persuades , nud draws men up
to the .same level. The thing most nUinlrod
about the man , nsldo from his genial , genuine ,
Clnlst-llko spirit , is thnt unselfish , consecrated
crated devotion to the ono grout causu of por-
sonnl temperance by moral suasion. Nobody
can turn him anldo from that. Ho will not
bo drawn or trapped Into nny discussion of
prohibition , high license or low license. Ho
is n devout preacher of personal righteousness
nnd personal prohibition. Tills Is his work
and Ins "Held is already white for the har
vest. " I want to say that I endorse the plan
nnd I endorse the man. I wishthnthocouldbc
multiplied by n million. I nm a prohibition
ist after the Htrnightcst sect. I nm not will-
lug to yield ono jot or title of the Inw , nnd
yet I place n greater value upon the gospel of
lovo. I hnvo great faith in Moses but nioro
in Jesus Christ. If the world Is to bo con
quered It must bo nftor his methods. If men
quit their cups It will como nbout by the per
suasion of love nnd moral appeals. I do not
know whether Francis Murphy is n prohibi
tionist or not , and I do not care. I did not
take tlmo to nsk him. I saw thnt our ulti
mate nlms were ono nnd tlio sumo. Ho did
not tuko up my time on his personal views.
The truth is , ho speaks but ono langunge , the
"volapuk" of love , the moral suasion cf'Jesus
of Niumroth , nnd J feel that It would bo a
profnuo desecration of n devoted nnd sanc
tified Instrument for any party or
person to lay hands on him , or
try to force him to political pro
hibition , or any method than the ono ho now
pursues , nnd for which ho wus called oy God
Almighty. Let us each and nil pursue the
course wo deem host in our own way , but
keep hands off of Murphy. Ho is saving men
from drunkenness by the scores nnd hun
dreds. I commend him to the people of Iowa
nnd nil its communities. His work is worthy
of nil praise , and whilst he needs no word
from mo I will gladly volunteer thcso state
ments. Clnrinda has orgnni/cd n "bluo lib-

Forced to Shut Down ItccniiRo
lla\e Jlcim Underbid by Oinnliii. -
HiinxMont. : . , May 5. [ Special Telegram
to TIIK Brn. ] Despite the appreciation In the
price of'silver the works of the Helena and
Livingstone smelting company , located at
I3ast Helena , hnvo , after ropc.itcdly reducing
their output , finally closed down. How long
this cessation of operations will last does not
scorn cnsy to determine from the reason that
this depends on circumstances over which
the company has llttlo If any control. Tlio
cause of suspension is likewise somewhat dif
ficult to get ut. The Great Fulls Hinoltor has
also closed down. There is a minor that tlio
closing down of thcso two is a preliminary
step toward a combination between them
From what can bo learned the chief factor in
closing down is the exorbitant freight rates
on ere to this point as compared with rates to
Omaha mid other eastern smelting points
Besides , agents for the Omaha smelter huvo
gone through the country nnd by virtue of
cheaper labor , cheaper , fuel nnd cheaper
freight rates , have been able to underbid
these smelters.
