An independent people's Htnto conven
tion hns boon called under the direct In
spiration of the otllclal organ of the Ne
braska Farmers' Alliance. This call ,
coupled with a platform or declaration
of principles , Is to bo circulated for slg-
nnturo among members of the Alliance ,
Knights of Labor , and labor reformers ,
who tire willing to cut loose from all ex
isting parlies. The most remark
able feature about this now de
parture is the fact that the
patriots , styling themselves the people's
committee , who call for this sudden up
rising of the people , are not willing to
let the worhl know who they are. Mr.
J. BurrowH , the godfather of this prema
ture political bantling , frankly tells the
members of the Alliance that it Is imma
terial who calls for this people's party :
They do not have to appear In the business
hcrcattcr , ns it will bo BCOU that they litivo
designated an agcnfv to call the convention
when the declarations have been signed
numerously enough. Th y lira simply pa
triotic men who lire willing to do the prepar
atory work without even being known In It.
Now , when a man is asked to abandon
his religious or political creed , it is ma
terial for him to know whom ho
is following and whither ho
Ls going , what ho is to believe , and in
what company ho is liable to land.
When Mr. Burrows precipitated the
Nebraska Alliance into a political con
test as an independent party in 1832 , ho
landed himself and everybody who em
barked with him in the political ditch.
The only effective result of that reckless
venture was the election of Sturdovant
as state treasurer over Loran Clark.
But that was ty no means an Alliance
triumph. Clark was very unpopular
and was repudiated by thousands of re
publicans because ho had been nomin
ated by a fraudulent count of the bal
lots. Sturdovant , the Alliance candi
date , also had the democratic nomina
tion , otherwise ho could not have
been elected. Had the republican
farmers and anti-monopoly republicans
generally turned out in the primaries
neither Clark nor any other ollonsivo
candidate could have been nominated by
the republican1) .
It has taken nearly eight years for the
Alliance to recover from the blunders of
its foolhardy leadnrs.
The farmers of Nebraska are in posi
tion to eontiol both the republican and
democratic parties if they will do their
duty and take an active intercut in
the nominating caucuses and conven
tions. But if they abandon their re
spective parties , the railroad rousta
bouts will control the nominations , and
the chances are ten to one that copora-
lion rule will continue for many years to
come.
And wb was this call for an inde
pendent bttito convention issued now ?
Why did not the skulking patriots who
are afraid to father this move openly ,
wait until after the anti-monopoly repub
licans had held their conference
on May 20 ? Were they afraid
that the republicans would subscribe to
their principles and take the wind out of
their saila ? Is it not manifest that they
are much more anxious to organize and
lead a now party than to secure needed
relief for the farmers \vorkingmon ?
But President Powers of the state
Alliance 1ms "boon prevailed on to sign
this people's call , and Alliance men are
urged to follow him because ho signed
it. Tuu Bni : earnestly appeals to
Alliance fanners to look before they
leap. Mr. Powers is reputed to bo
honcat and sincere. Nobody will call
his motives in question. Ho doubtless
lias pinned his faith on the sagacity and
leadership of Burrows. Mr , Powers
frankly admits in his own letter that ho
was not consulted about the call , but ho
asks all true Alliance men to support
the move. Why was ho not consulted ?
Why was the head of the Alliance Ig
nored ? Does the tail of the Alliance wig :
Lho head ? Is a mutter of such g'ravo im
portance to each and every member of
Lho Alliance , and to every clti/.en of
Nebraska , to bo loft to a star-chamber or
dark-lantern combine of men who dare
not head their own call with their
names ?
With till duo deference to Mr. Powers ,
wo would ask : Is It safe or prudent to
follow his example ? IIo has never beeji
In public life and waivoly comprehends
Lho perilous task of organi/.ing and lead
ing a now party.
The Alliance can bo made a controll
ing force in this stato. It holds the h.il-
inco of power , andean , under prudent
leadership , dislodge the corporation
minions from the state hou'-o and oxpcl
them from the legislature. Now that
they are well organi/ed , will they fritter
away this power ? When Denis Kenr-
noy proclaimed from the sand
lots of San Francisco that the Chinese
must gg , ho was denounced as a hoodlum
and his fiat was ridiculed. But Kearney
and his hoodlums hold the balance of
power In California , and they mafij good
use of it through the existing parties.
Within less than live yearn Denis Kear
ney's Hat wo. * not only inserted as a
plank in the platforms of both parties in
California , but incorporated into the
national republican platform , and engrafted -
grafted by congress upon the statute * of
the United States.
If the loaders of the Alliance had the
brains of Denis Kearney , they could dic
tate platforms and nominate candidates
in every" party convention , and have
their pick afterwards as between these
candidates.
Tan Bin : does not profess to bo the
only friend of the farmer and producer
but it has done more than all other
agencies in this state toward arousing
anti-monopoly sentiment and defending
the industrial classes against the ngrcs-
sions of monopolies and the domination
of corporations. Whatever may bo
said by jealous newspaper rivals and
politicaladversaries its sympathies and
Its sentiments remain unchanged. It
still believes in the broadest frecdirn of
political action and still considers
It the duty of every citizen to
support no man for olllco who is known
to bo dishonest or disreputable. But wo
appeal to the level-headed sense of the
farmers who desire to emancipate them
selves and rd | the state of monopoly
misrule to deliberate well before they
commit themselves to the independent
people's mo foment , which Is almost cer
tain to dlsuiombor and wreck the Alli
ances and leave thorn at the mercy o
corporation ; ) , combines and trusts.
THE lOM'MUL'S It.lTK.
The answer of the Union Pacific to tin
complaint of the Columbus slock ship
pers is n notable production , not so mucl
for its literary qualities as for Us nlmos
total hick of those elements of trutl
which ennoble authorship. The com
pany makes the best possible defense o
a very bad case.
It justifies n chnrgo of twcnty-nint
dollars for hauling a car of stock fron
Columbus to Omaha , ti distance of nine
ty-two miles , while the rate to Chicago
cage , ilvo hundred and olghty-foui
miles , is only forty-three dollar !
and n half. In other words , a carloai
of stock from Columbus to Omaha costs ti
fraction over thlrly-ono cents per mile
while the rate through to Chicago is less
than seven and one-half cents.
This exorbitant rate operates to the
detriment of the stock market of the
state. It is the essence of robbery , ant
the attempt to defend it is an oxhibltlor
of unparalleled nerve.
The assertions that the company Is nol
responsible for rates east of Omaha , ami
that "competition on the latter lines iso i-
so close that there is no profit to the
loads , " tire a reckless jugglery o ,
facts. What has become ol
the alliance with the Northwestern
orn ? Docs not the terms of thai
compact give each road tioico in the
making' of rates ? To declare that the
rates from the Missouri river to Chicago
tire too low for profit will not deceive
anyone. JirndstneCs report of railroad
earnings for the month of March shows
that the Granger group of roads , which
includes Missouri river lines , increased
their not earnings by three hundred and
sixty-one thousand dollars , and for the
lirst thrco months of the year the
groas increase was ono million
live hundred and eighty-nine thous
and live hundred and sixty-
seven dollars. These figures do not
indicate that the Missouri river road1-
are non-paying. Nor is it to bo supposed
that the roads are so generous as to
carry traffic tit unprofitable rates.
But through rates do not directly concern -
corn the stock shippers of the state.
What they want is reasonable rates and
facilities for reaching the homo market
at Omaha. The present rate- , not only
from Columbia but from other points
tire exorbitant and a radical reduction
must bo had , peaceable if possible ,
forcibly if necessary.
The last hope of the Mormon church
in Utah of maintaining itself by the policy
it has thus far pursued has been de
stroyed by the decision of the United
State- , supreme court alllrming the
judgment of the territorial supreme
court sustaining the Hdnumds nnti-
polygamy law. This not provides for
the dissolution of the Mormon church
corporation and the nnnullment
of its charter , all real estate
owned by the church in excess of
lifty thousand dollar * to escheat to
the United States. This , in the opinion
of the supreme court , the chief justice
and two of the associate justices dissent
ing , congress had the power to do.
The decision chtiracti > ri/ei- polygamy
tts an unlawful system and a nefari
ous doctrine , and says the contention
that It is ti part of the Mormon's relig
ious belief is ti sophistical plea. Noth
ing which had previously proceeded
from the federal judiciary regarding
this system is so strong in condemn
ing it as this decision of the highest
tribunal. ' 'No doubt , " it sujs , "tho
Thugs of India imagine ; ! their belief in
issas.sination was a religious belief , but
that did not make it so. " The question
was whether this system should bo al
lowed to continue and bo maintained by
Lhe funds accumulated for its prop.igti-
, ion. The organisation controlling these
: unds is declared to bo con
tumacious , employing its rciources
: n constantly attempting ' 'to op
pose , subvert and thwart the
legislation of congiess and the will of
Lhe government of the United States. "
Such being the case , congress was , in
, ho opinion of the court , fully warranted
in enacting the anti-polygamy law. The
dissenting opinion admits the power of
congress to supp. OTJ polygamy , but siys :
it has nol the power to soi/.o and confis
cate thu property of corporations be
cause they may have been guilty
of crime. This point of difference
is obviously a very important
one , aineo the principle in
volved in thu decision of the court might
become far-reaching If extended to its
utmost possibilities.
There can bo no doubt that popular
opinion generally will approve the de
cision , and its effect upon the Mormon
church of Utah can hardly fail to be
[ H-aetieally destructive of that orgtuii/a-
Lion , Deprived of the resources which
iiavo enabled It to propagate its doc
trines , it must rapidly decline , and in
much less time than it has existed is
.ikoly to become extinct , at least in the
United States.
c.it'Tioi's snx.irons.
It should perhaps bo regarded as a
promising sign that those senators who
will have the duty of preparing a tariff
! > ill , either by amending the houno
measure or supplying a now ono ns a
substitute , are reticent and non-commit-
Lnl regarding the bill now being consid
ered in the house. Senators Allison and
Aldrieh of the llnanco committee , which
will have charge of the subject , , are
confident that a tariff bill will bo
passed and become a law , but
they nro studiously careful not to
glvo the slightest intimation of
what they think of the pending inunsuro ,
or what the committee of which they
tire members will bo likely to do with it.
There has been no conference of the
committee , and probibly will not bo.until
the house bill reaches it , but it Is still
quite reasonable to suppose that the
general views of the members of the
committee are known to ouOh other. TI '
mo.st significant expression drawn Out
was from Mr. Aid rich , who , in response
to u remark that Mr. McKiuloy regarded
his bill as meeting very generally the
views of the republicans of the senate ,
said It was natural for him to think so.
It Is to bo presumed that if the gen
eral sentiment of the majority of the
senate was favorable to the McKlnloy
bill , ns a whole , sc'imtJM would have no
hesitation In AIIJ Ing so , It is not easy
to conceive of any motive that would
lend republican senators to withhold
public approval of a party measure in
the house tovilch ) they had no objection
tion , while thoYo are excellent reasons
why they inlght bo expected tc
glvo a bill acceptable to them tin
assistance bT their endorsement
It would obviously lw good policy , fron
the party pollil of view , to do so. The
caution observed by senators respecting
the house tAHK bill , therefore , naturally
suggests that hcy expect it to receive
very material modifications in the semite
There is very good reason to believe
that this will bo the case. Kopublictu
senators must bo impressed by the fac
that there is mo"o widespread objecllor
to the McKlnley bill than til
most any other tariff metis
uro over framed encountered , ant
that If allowed to become a law in it-
present form the republican party wouh :
find the greatest dlfllculty in retaining
control of the lower branch of congress.
There tire plain IXMSOIIS why the major
ity of the republicans in the house deem
it necessary to sustain the work of the
ways and means committee , but these At ,
not apply to the senate. The country
looks to that body to correct the mis
takes of the house bill , and the indica
tions tire that it will do so.
Tin : n
The censure by either house of con
gress of one of its members is raro.
This is not duo to the fact that conduct
deserving such punishment is infre
quent. On the contrary , there are at
every session transgressions of privi
lege in debate and violations of parlia
mentary decorum which would amply
justify administering censure to those
guilty of them. But where men of both
parties are about equally culpable
there mtural ly is a disposition
'
position of mutual in
cases where there appears to bo some
excuse or palliation for the Use of harsh
personalities and a disregard of parlia
mentary propriety. It of coarse very
Fcldom is the case wncn some mitigating
circumslaniv cannot bj urged , and the
rule is to allow these broaches of deco
rum to pass without any proposal of pun
ishment. Until last Saturday there had
boon no motion in the hntis'j ' to censurj
n member since the Forty-eighth con
gress , although in the meantime the.ro
bud happened scores of incidents fully
deserving such punishment.
Last Saturday Mr. Byiiuni of Indium
was arragn ! d at the bar of the house
and censured tor using insulting and un
parliamentary language applied to Mr.
Bayno of Pennsylvania. There was a
controversy regarding a statement made
by ti Pittsbm'g ni'inufacturer ' , Mr.
Campbell , rc-lleeting upon the Indiana
rcprosontathc , and he charaetomcd the
manufacturer as "a liar and a
perjurer , " adding : "I want to
say , IION , that I accept and
am willing to believe that IJuiveas great
confidence in tho.ehtiracterof Mr. Camp
bell as I have in the character of the
gentleman who makes this attack upon
me , " the refeicnce being to the Pennsyl
vania congressman. Before , saying this
Mr. Bynum had spoken of'Mr. Buyne as
coiistitalinghinisjlf the ' ' .sower" through
which the att'ick of Campbell had nride
its way into the C'oiii/f-ssioiiu ! Jfccnnl
ind this epithet having IWMI chullongod
is unparliamentary Mr. Bynum modified
it to "conduit pipe. " No ono familiar
with parliamentary propriety and deco
rum will question th it it was violated by
-his language , and the democratic col-
eagues of the offending congressman
exhibited very bud taste in encouraging
urn in his course , rather than ndvis-
ng him to avoid the censure of the house
> y tin apology which would have been
entirely honorable to him.
This incident suggests tin observation
which will doubtless bo very gon-
er.illy made upon it , that it would
jo well if more attention were
Mild to the proprieties of deb'ito and to
Lho parliamentary restraints which
should govern di'liberativo bodies than
s the rule in the house of representti-
, ivos. It w.is very well said by Mr. Me-
Cinloy that however great the provoca
tion it could not owitsu or justify the use
) f language in violation of the rules of
: ho house and the decorum of parliamen
tary proceedings. The indifference
shown to the frequent and many
times flagrant breaches of priv-
lego and propriety by mom-
jurs of the house necossar-
ly tends to depreciate the charac
ter of that body in thu respect of the
niblie and to detract from it in every
vtiy. The example m ulo of Mr. Bynum ,
who is somewhat prone to this sort of
) ffonse , was jiidtillad by the circum
stances , and It is to bj hoped the olloct
will bo salutary.
The determination of loading citizens

institution will entirely prevent crime.
It will have a deterrent offoot on the

WiiKNdoctors disagree who shall pro
scribe ? Mayor Gushing declares "that
the police have been umiblo to arrest any
of the burglars or drive them from the
city , " and suggests that n portion of the
police fund bo sot aside for the employ
ment of detectives. On the other hand
the chief of police shows that , with one
exception , " .no cnso of burglary , murderer
or tiny other felony that 1ms occurred
during the past two years bul
that the parties committing the
crime have been arrested by the
police. " While both disagree ns
to facts , there is a significant unanimity
ns to means. There would be no serious
opposition to placing n liberal sum at the
command of the police If the force had
not been employed to oppress and annoy
the people of the city. The members
have committed outrages without justi
fication , and their scandalous conduct
has been sustained by the commission.
The true remedy in the present emer
gency is to weed out the incompetents
and employ men with sufficient horso-
f-enso to distinguish loafers and crooks
from respectable citizen ? .
Tar attention of the city meat inspectors

Inviolate ami has over been a true and kind
wife : that a few weeks after their
marriage ho grew tired of her and
has refused since to abide under the sumo
root with him , giving us his reason the false
allegation that she has not been a true wife.
She claims further that lie has been ex-
trumcly cruel to her and has neglected to pro
vide the necessaries of lift' . She therefore
asks that her maiden namelluttloD. Kltchoy ,
be restored to her.
Mrs. Lottie Spiirliug Is another wlfo who
found marriage the death of love and asks for
an annulment of the tics that bind her to
Chmicnts S purling. Two yeipn ago she was
married to Mr. Spin-ling at Crete , Saline
county , at which time ho was apparently a
prosperous barber. She alleges that she
discovered after then union that ho
was a man of dissolute habits , n gambler and
n drunkard. After they had boon marticd
only three months ho deserted her and has
ic'inuincd away over since. Eighteen mouths
ago she gave blith to a child by him ami Hho
naked that she bo given the custody of the
same. She also asks that she bo known here
after us Lottie Kmns , her maiden name. She
is now barely twenty years old.
Charlotte Thiirstoii is the third abused and
neglected wile who aslcs for a divorce. Her
husband's name is Martin D. Thurston. The
two weru nuido ono February 10 , 1ST ! ) , at
Grand Haven , Mich. , and have now two chil
drenonaeightundthootherstx years old. Mrs.
Thurston points to her married lifo ns one
without fault on her part , but says her con-
soit is a man of vicious and vulgar habits ;
that he is a dentist by profession , and earns
$2,000 pur year , but falls to provide the com
mon necessaries of lifo for his wife and little
ones , and bus treated them with the greatest
cruelty. She usks for a divorce , the custody
of her children and alimony to support her
self mid them
The fourth applicant for a divorce is a man ,
Edward Smith , and ho pictures his wife as a
perfect Xantippe with a long tongue anil
tin acrid disposition. IIo was married
to bur December 120 , lbS.1 , at Fajetto-
vilte , Mo. Ho alleges that at various "times
she beat him with u broomstick and in other
wajs subjected him to the most cruel ti en t-
mcnt. Hi ! stood this life for thrco years and
