When n man assumes the grave re sponsibility as the monitor nnd loader ol a great political movement , bo should bo prudent , ielf-possessed , well balanced and , above nil things , truthful. Tlio wouM-bo dictator of the Farmers * Alliance , J. Burrows , is just the oppo site. Ho Is wild , visionary , off his bal- ntieo and utterly reckless as regards the truth. A month before the election ho as serted that the Alliance had polled its vote and was able to muster ono hundred and ten thousand voters for the people's ticket , Independent of the Knlglils ot Labor n d ether worklngtnon , who were ready to swell Us ranks by many thous ands. ands.When When the election came only seventy thousand votes were polled altogether by the Independent ticket. The dictator will hardly dare contend , that forty thous and Alliance men deserted their colors and that not a single workingman voted with those who remained true. The fact lBlurrows ) purposely deceived his follow ers , llo know then , as lip docs now , that the available voting forcoof tlio Alllanco did not exceed sixty thousand. Fully ton thousand of the votes that they re ceived at tlio late election all over the state were cast by workingmen and vil lage merchants , who depend on Alllanco fanners for their patronage. Before the election Burrows warned the farmers against roorbacks , while his own paper wns full ol the most reckless exaggerations and downright fabrica tions , which ho had concocted to fire the fanners up to the lighting pitch. This might nil bo ascribed to his cc- contrio notions and his anxiety to achieve victory for the cnuso that ho represents. But since the election the man has gone clean daft. Instead of a calm , dignlfie'd nnd truthful view of the situation , the dictator raves llko a mono- mnnino about an alleged combination bo- Hosowater nnd the railroads for Boyd , Benton , Majors and Hastings , which winds up as follows : The crust over hell is very thin at Omaha , On every street Its portals yawn always through a saloon and its steaming reek dally and hourly greets the stranger or citi zen ns ho passes along Its streets. For the election of November 4 boll organized. Out of Its portals through the saloons on that day It spewed its elect bullies , roughs cut- thioats , ( lends , devils , who cared no mote for lifo than for n ribald Joke and they were to the lust devil in the service of the boss Imp of satnn , whisky , the raihonds , Uosewatcr and Jim Bend. 1'raud run riot decent men vtcro not allowed at the polls. Men who were peddling Independent or prohibition tickets were knocked down , driven nway or dinggcd off to Jnil on some fraudulent pre text. The police were powerless to protect reputable men , or moio often they wcro in league with devils themselves. This Is the actual state of facts on the day of election. But before election the largest , preparations had been made , to perpetrate the vllocrlmo of forcing Jim Boyd upon the reputable citi zens of Nebraska as their governor. Twenty-eight hundred foreigners wcro given their llrst papers on condition of their voting for Jim Boyd , the ice being paid by the chnlrman of the democratic committee. Thousands of men wcro falsely registered , ballot boxes wcro stolen and Illegal counting was resorted to. The conspiracy was wide spread and audacious. It reached every town where men could bo found vile enough to cairy out the behests of this railroad- whisky-Bovd-Rosowatcr combine. The result Is that this combine claims that Jim Boyd whoso name cannot bo written without blotting a pace Is to bo the next governor of Nebraska. What n monstrous tissue of falsehood nnd drivel. Could anybody hut a maniac rave in that fashion ? There never was a more orderly and quiet election hold In Omaha or la nny ether city In this country , than that hold in Omaha on the 4th of November. The saloons were ordered closed by the mayor and kept closed by the police on that day. The business houses , banks and factories wcro closed , and their proprietors , clerks and employes were at the polls early and almost finished voting by four o'clock j ) . in. There were two policemen stationed at each of the forty-two voting places , and in only four of the forty-two wns there oven the very slightest ripple or disturbance. The only trouble that did occur at those four places was through Imported non-resident prohibi tion challengers , who were trying to ob struct login registered voters. No man who peddled an independent ticket was molested anywhere. The flvo or six per sons arrested for disturbance were both prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists. The police were never resisted by anj ol those parties. The story about their being powerless to enforce order was concocted by a sot of scoundrels whc were telegraphing over the state to pro- hlbition leaders that a riot was In progress In Omaha , that men were being murdered at the polls and the chief ol police had given up the city. These dis patches were Intended to rouse the people ple in the country towns to vote for pro hibition. But when a man like Burrows makes such n monstrous charge a week aftoi the election , when ho had ample tlmo tc ascertain that It was a palpable false hood , ho shows tlmt ho is olthor n wicked prevaricator or a monomaniac. The charge that thousands of mor were falsely registered in Omaha or thai ballot boxed were stolen or stuffed is of r piece with the rest of his ravings. Then wore three registrars for each pollinf place , and each person who came up hai to glvo his answers under oath ns to hli nativity , place of residence nnd quallfl cation as a voter. The registration wai carried oivin public and the prohibition Ists , who took an active interest , won present at every registration plnco nut took copies of the lists so us to nscortali whether nny of the parties had porjurec themselves. Purrows' howl about the foreigner ; and their llrst papers Is Idiotic. Tin f constitution of Nebraska give ? every for elgnor who has resided In Nebraska si : months and who has taken out his doc lurntlon papers thirty dnys before election tion , the right to vote just the snm as If ho had been a natlv of the fatuU. Whether this t right or wrong it IB part of the const ! f tution. There were over seventeen hun dred declaration papers taken out b ; foreigners two years ago just before th 0 presidential election. There may hav s been a thousand moro taken out th ! year , but they were taken out forrepul llcans and democrats and independent nnd probibltiohlstsnUko. Nobody couli toll what candidates those men woul vote for nnd nobody could compel thei f to vole nny particular ticket. 1 There may have been Irrogularltle r and technical omissions In various town of the state , but no citizen ot Nebraskt nnd last of all no man who holds the re sponsible position of editor ot the official organ of the Farmers' Alliance , should send lirondcaat such vile and Infamous slanders nbout the metropolis of thla state , of which every citizen lins just reason to bo proud. zoo ? , : TO tin : UENKIIAL i > nosi'Biim\ It is fairly to bo supposed that the men who Imvo been elected to the next legis lature of Nebraska sincerely doslro tlio prosperity and progress of the entire state. If there nro any who propose to seek the advantage of apart of the people ple , regardless of what the results nmy bo to the others , or any who are under the influence of sectional prejudice that may load them to support legislation whoso effect would bo to Ulsfirlmlnato unfavorably against any portion of the state , their election was a mistake nnd maypiovolo bo a misfortune. Every citizen charged with the responsibility of legislation should bo ready at nil times to subordinate local considerations to the general good nnd the advantage of the few to the beuofit ot the many. In order to do this u representative- not culled upon to Ignore the wishes of his constituents or the wants of his locality , but slmnly to subsorvo these so far ns it can bo done consistently with the princi ple of the greatest good to the greatest number. And this applies equally to bodies of men chosen to represent cer tain purti&an or factional policies. The next legislature Is expected to In stitute a number of reforms. The men who will constitute the majority were elected with the distinct understanding standing- that they would carry out the wishes ot the people as to certain vital mutters regarding which the popu lar desire has been disregarded. In such ( jlrcumstutu'cs men are extremely apt to misjudge the limitations of the duty ex- peeteTl of them and go too far. Wo see such oxtravngtmt conception , or miscon ception , of duty every whore. Because a man Is chosen to ofllco as a protest against some abuse of corporate mono poly or combined capital , ho fools it In cumbent upon him to go to any extreme treme- however impracticable and Im politic , in order to demonstrate to his constituents his uncompromising hos tility to the matter of their complaint. It is hardly necessary to say that this sort of thing1 has resulted in a great amount of damaging legislation , leading1 to consequences quite us bad as those it was intended to remedy. All govern ment Is the result of compromise , and no party can long maintain its hold upon the people that disregards this essential principle. The practical common sense of the people of Nebraska swept away the monaeo to our prosperity nnd progress involved in prohibition , and evidence of the wisdom of that action is already ap pearing. Lot us bo caroftil to avoid every ether danger that might lurk in unwise , impracticable , or reckless legislation. The duty to judiciously pro vide for the protection of the people against abuses , nnd as far ns possible to lighten their burdens , is imporatho. But lot us not bo led by any sort of prejudice into adopting a policy which might result In chocljing1 their enter prise , reducing the rewards of their In dustry , and curtailing the means to pro gress. Nebraska offers opportunities for more capital ; lot us do nothing to rdpol it. There is abundant rourn hero for moro population , moro men to labor nnd consume ; lot nothing bo done to prevent the conditions necessary to attract them. In a word , the demand is to build up along all the lines of material progress , and not to pull down , and In order to meet this demand intolligeat and con servative legislation is required. It would bo idle to deny that some ap prehension is felt regarding the course of the next legislature. It will bo con trolled by now men elected under peculiar conditions and obligations , nnd it is entirely natural that their coming1 into power should create * some uneasi ness. But wo have faith that they will bo found loyal to the highest interests of Nebraska and will be actuated by a sin cere purpose to promote the general prosperity. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FAtiTS VOIl OMAHA nKPVHLICA.TfS. The vote cast at the recent election in wards conceded to bo republican are de cidedly instructive. Taking the vote for lieutenant governor , which fairly represents party strength , it clearly shows that no ward can bo considered reliably safe unless men who can com mand the hearty support of all republic ans are nominated. * In the Fourth ward , n republican stronghold , thirteen hundred nnd thirty- four votes wcro cast for Tom Majors and twelve hundred and sixty-eight for Dr. Boar , a republican majority of sixty-six. The Seventh ward cast seven hundred and twenty-four republican and eight hundred and oighty-nino democratic votes , a democratic majority of ono hundred and sixty-five. In the Ninth ward the footings show blx hundred and thirty republican and seven hundred and throe democratic L votes , a democratic majority of bovouty- i three. The lesson of those figures is so plain that "ho who runs may road. " "With , a re publican majority of hundreds in. the Fourth ward heretofore , a straight test I practically wipes It out and makes the i ward a debatable ono. Intho-Sovontlulncl Ninth , considered reliably republican , the figures show n complete revulsion ol 3 sentiment and democratic majorities ox- 3 ccodlng the republican majority in the Fourth ward. ' Those wards are represented in the council by republicans who seek ro-cloc- tlon. They are the loaders and chloi 3 fuglemen of the odious combine which , 3 during the present year , recklessly 3 rioted on the substance ot the people festered barnacles on the treasury created now olllces for the solo benefit o political strikers , and forced the up pointment of disreputable nnd Incompetent tent persons to some of the most rcspoii slblo positions in the city. No three men in ofllco at the proson s tlmo have dene moro to disrupt the re 1 publican party in this city than Wheel .1 or , Chafteo nnd Davis. They have lav a Ished public privileges on franchise * corporations In return for boodle wltl s which to perpetuate their power. Thoj s shamelessly snubbed honored am L , reputable republicans In that body bo cnuso they did not train with the Twon- ty-olght club. And having been fairly nnd honestly iqtled [ ) at tlio polls lust July , they dragged their treacherous carcasses to Lincoln1 , openly professing regard for Mercer and secretly stabbing him 111 tno bade. The record oD the combine and the Twenty-eight c uty is nn unbroken chapter - tor of treachery , rascality and boodle , n diwgraco to the dlVJr nnd a reproach to the republican party. Yet the very men who created and maintained both cabals Imvo the effrontery lo solicit the support and ciidqrbomcnt of decent re publicans. If the republicans of Omaha hope to maintain their load in the city council and Eccuro the support of taxpayers in the Fourth , Seventh and Ninth wards , they must again repudiate the wreckers and jobbers , and nominate .honest ana competent men who will unite all olo- moiits of the party and to whom the pub lic good Is paramount. INDIANS. The present uneasiness of the Indians between the Missouri and the Kockios possesses the unusual element of nov elty , This tlmo they are stirred not by the old spirit of ubortgltial discontent at the encroachments of civilisation , but by the teachings of a so-called Indian Mcb- slab. As near ns can bo ascertained , this icrsoti Is a Pah Ute , who has formerly eon known by the prosaic name of John 'ohnson. Ills reported revelations would ndlcnto that ho Is familiar with some wrllons of the Bible. The apparent of- ect of ills gospel of peace 1ms thus far con to make his followers thirsty for , ho blood of vhlto men and to stimulate . concerted and threatening ; movement 11 along the border. It Is impossible to sift out the grains f truth from the chaff of exaggeration hat Is always telegraphed from frontier owns on such occasions as this , but as , ho regular army is not worked to the lolnt of nervous prostration In these ilplng times of peace it would scorn to o well enough to dispose troops In a Tiaimcr to prevent the possibility of larra to settlers. General Miles says , in n interview at Chicago , that there are wonty-soven thousand woll-urraod fight- ng Sioux , together with portions of ther tribes , available for mischief. They have been equipped by our generous go\ornmont as well as our wn troops and under desperate leader- hip coultt perpetrate much misery and lamapo upon bottfors and their prop erty. It is snfo to say that the authorities hould not trust the treacherous Indi- ins with precious ) human lives as long : ts they have numbers and arms suRi- iont to repeat the horrors of the old order days. The wisdom , therefore , of dispatching troops from Omaha and ilsowhcre , as has been done , will bo gen erally endorsed.1' Secretary Blalho is not allowing his reciprocity policy to tnko care of itself. According to Washington advices there ' ' ' are almost daily''conferences between the secretary and representatives of the South American republics , and it is confidently prodiotcd that before the oming sos&ion of congress closes some tangiblqrosuUs will bo seen. The South iVmerican diplomats are manifesting a front deal of earnest interest in the sub ject , and whenever- the preliminary question of the form that reciprocity shall tnko is settled the task of putting the policy into effect may prove to bo far ess ditllcult than many suppose. It is reported that the administration docs not regard with favor the proposal that the president shall by proclama tion declare certain duties waived in re turn for like concessions by ether coun tries. There is not only a doubt as to the constitutionality of the method , but it is considered to bo'at best a temporary raakoshlft , , the practicability of which is very questionable. The general view appears to bo that the proper way to at tain reciprocity is , through treaties , and it is understood that the conferences of the secretary of state with the South American representatives have taken this direction. So much progress has already been made that it is said sev eral such .treaties will probably bo ready for ratification by the senate at the com ing session. A very encouraging circumstance in connection with the subject wasfurnished in the recent formal presentation to the president ot the nowjy. accredited Span ish minister. In the course of his remarks the minister clcarly indicated that his government Is giving very oarnobt con sideration to the question of commercial relations with the United States , with nn evident desire to promote an increase of trade as a basis of mutual advantage. It is known thnt Brazil is most anxious to enter into negotiations at once , and there will doubtless bo no difficulty in effecting an entirely satisfactory reciprocity treaty with that country. Progress will bo slower with the ether Soutli American republics , and particularly with Argen tine , whoso flmuiQh complicutlons with Europe are of so serious a nature that it may bo several years before they nro BO far straightened ofrUthut sho'will bo free to mnko any new rcommcrclul arrange ments. Roelproc _ with Mexico is also likely to bo somewhat delayed , although there has really Won no intimation from thnt country unfrfSnMly to it. Rut on the whole the outlool is exceedingly prom ising , and the faofy that a number ol years must elapse before the policy can bocomd general is not at all dlscourngtt/g. It is a groal and coniprohonsliiqs scheme , necessarily involving many difficulties which cannot bo overcome at onco. The progress al ready made is far beyond what the coun try had a reasonable right tooxpootrnt this early stage of the consideration ol the subject. The agricultural producers of the country have tholnrgost Immediate con cern in the success of reciprocity. Wher it Is stated that out ot staples vnluod at three hundred million dollars oxportoJ from , this country last year only Jlftecr millions were taken by all Latin Amor Icn , with Its population of fifty million ! ot people , the Importance of moro inti mate commercial trolutions with thosi markets becomes obvious. And the first benefits from such relations coin * chiefly to the agricultural producers The policy -which Secretary Blijlno U industriously m-plngupon the attention nnd acceptance of the countries south of MB has primary rolcrcnco to the advan tage to bo gained by American farmers in Bocurlng now mid greatly enlarged for their surplus products. SOCIAL SIDE O/ / ' There la ono clement In the recent phenomenal uprising of the farmers throughout the west and south that has boon largely overlooked. Tills is its social eldo. There is no drawback In the condi tions of the farmer's llfo that .rests so heavily upon his wlfo and his sons nnd daughters ns its loneliness. Not even the prlco of corn , the interest on the mortgage or the nltltudlnous railroad rates are burdens so constantly depress ing ns the Isolptlon from the pleasures and the benefits of other human society. This fact is largely responsible for the spontaneous growth ot the farmers' movement , for the faithfulness with which Itf meetings have been attended nnd for the solidity with' ' which its vote was cost on election day. And It is nn element in the matter thnt political managers cannot afford to overlook. Whatever political advantages the fanner may win or lese from his move ment , ho certainly has muoH to gain from frequent association with his neighbors and from friendly discussion of matters in which they have a common interest. The present organization Is capable of being made immensely vnln- able in a social and business way. The social side of farm life is a matter that should receive moro attention from newspapers and magazines than It does. It is a channel through which much could bo done to make a great oloinont of our population happy and prosperous. THK opening of n standard gauge road from Colorado Springs to Ogden is an event of considerable importance to the railroad world. The route comprises a largo part of the Denver & Rio Grande system , but does not traverse the Royal gorge and Marshall Pass , those sconie wonders which have made the Rio Grande famous. The road traverses Ute Pass , Soutli Park , Load- vlllo , the valleys of the Hearing Fork and Frying Pan , and joins the Illo rnndo Western near the Utah .bound- try. The paugo of tlio latter road has been broadened through to Ogdon. The real advantage ol the line , which is : ontrolled by the Santa Fo company , is hat it aflords a standard ' ffaugo road 'rom ' the eastern ba o of the Rockies to ho Salt Lake valley and places the Santa Fo on an equal footing with the Union Pacific at Ogdcn. Despite the discomforts of narrow gauge passenger jars , the splendors of this route have at- .ractod . the cream of transcontinental ravel. Tlio change of gauge and oqulD- mont will make it a most nrofltablo sumner - nor feeder for the Atchison system. < \sido from the Importance of thoehango , o the railroad systems of the west , it is a notable evidence of the gradual disap pearance of narrow gauge roads'as ave nues ot trade and travel in the mountains. THK persistent determination of the Mormon church leaders to banish polyg- nmy from the toncts of the Latter-Day Saints seriously disturbs the political atmosphere - mosphoro in the region of Salt Lake. John'W. Young , son of tno latoBrigham Young , supplements the declaration of the recent Mormon conference with a petition filed In court denying that polygamy is n part of the discipline of the church , or that it is taught , encour aged or practiced. This answer Is made to stop further proceedings looking to the oschoatmcnt of church properly. According to Chief Justice Zane of the territorial court , these declarations will stand unless proven untrue. The bur den of proof rests on the government. Should it fail , nil anti-polygamy laws necessarily fall to the ground , and a largo array of olHcoholdors will soon find themselves , llko Othello , without an occupation , The outlook for the regu lators of Mormon morals is decidedly gloomy. ' ' Tisin docs not dim nor ago chill the warmth of Mrs. Hill-Terry's regard for the legal profession of California , Hav ing comfortably disposed of .two disci ples of Blackstone , she slglu for more victims to plant 'ncath the sand dunes of the Golden Gate. She has diacardod the explosive love tones of the pistol nnd substituted the Sullivan method ot im pressing her adorers , varying the style by giving thorn a smashing with her um brella on their throbbing domes , How long this style of courting will continue depends on Sarah's consuming vim and longevity. RAILROAD projects and practical work in this vicinity are in keeping with the growth and development in other departments of activity , and In tensifies the long-felt want of another bridge over the Missouri rivor. THE report that Sidney Dillon is averse to a "vindication" conflicts with his Ufa-long habit of taking every job that promised fat berths for the various branches of tlio Dillon family.
