A iiioui-cl'HDtrxa MANIFESTO ,
In Mexico , Central and South America
every revolutionary movement la preceded -
ceded by soul-stirring appeals from fac
tional lenders and 'would-bo dictators.
For the first time In its history , Nobrnska
lins had a similar call to arms. Throe
valiant swashbucklers Imvo issued
the following furious 'and fuming pro-
minclamcnto as n prelude to the contest
for the governorship nnd state ofliccs :
To Frlenda of the People's Cause : We
rongrntulnto you upon the part you have
taken In winning on Tuesday , November ,
the mildest people's victory over won in
Nebraska. The enemy wcro taken by sur
prise , nnd tlio cause of the people won nil
along tlio line , In places , too , whcra wo least
expected such strength. Wo believe that
that victory wns not n partial oao ; that the
people of Nebraska expressed as their will
that John H. Powers nnd the state tlcltot of
the independent party , should hold the reins
of state povcrmncnl for tlio coming two
years. But the people wcro not to rulo.
Never la the history ot a free people was
ever such n perfidious , proniedltaU.-d nnd
systnmatlo attempt to deleat their will.
On November 4 last , hell was geographically
located. Robbery , riot and rascality held
fli carnival. Fiends , bullies , thugs , and
cut-throats terrorized the populace , mid
decent men were drivcu nwny from the polls.
At whatever cost the will of the political
harlots who managed the republican and
democratic machines , was to be foisted upon
n righteous people. A most unholy nlllnnco
between the sycophant hirelings who have
yearly fought cnch other like dogs for the
power to plunder the people , was consum
mated , and by spcclllu contract , a plan
wns agreed upon to foil the just de
mands of the people. Corporate rule
was to perpetuate Its power by tbo
election of a democratic governor ana a re
publican corps of assistants. Alcnproinlucnt
In both orgnnl/atlons.wci-o parties to the
combination , nnd the most hellish methods
Imaginable wcro summoned to execute the
behests of that damnable conspiracy.
Men who had the courngo of their convic
tions , who attempted to assist the people's
cause nt the polls , wore mobbed , knocked
down , driven away or dragged oft to Jail on
some fiendish pretext. Thousands of foreign
ers wcro voted oa their first papers , paid for
by tbo arch fiends of the unnatural conspir
acy. Thousands more were falsely regis
tered , ballot boxes wcro secreted , results
changed , rights of the people trampled upon ,
and every dovlco.known to political chicanery
was brought to play. Despite these desperate
resources , It looked as though tlio cause of
the people would still triumph. Corruption ,
fraud , Intimidation nnd violence haa not suc
ceeded In overthrowing the determination of
the pooplo. Alarmed at this , the metropolitan
sheets , irrespective of party , Jointly en
deavored to smother facts and results of the
election over the stato. Mandate after man
date was sent out from the headquar
ters of the plutocratic combine , and the ser
vile tools who held the sacred trust of the
people , obeyed their commands. Ballot boxes
wcro stuffed , returns padded , canvassing
boards packed , hundreds of votes swung
around to their opposite , and every right of
the people for n public canvass , a fair count ,
and honest government , was arbitrarily do-
nicd. The result was changed. Thopcoplo
were not to rule. Jumos E. Boyd with , his
republican lieutenants , wcro to prolong the
reign of corruption. But wo bellovo the pco-
plo , la the Intensity of their wrath , Incensed
by every wrong which organized capital bas
been able to foist upon them , will arise in
the might of offended righteousness , and do-
cluro with a force and power that capital
will bo compelled to acknowledge that Jus
tice shall rule , that tlio will of the people
shall bo freely expressed and honestly
counted , and that when so counted , shall bo
our law supremo. "VVe.your state committee ,
propose to do everything within tno bounds
of honor , as your agents , to see that right
and honesty shall triumph , nnd with 3 our as
sistance , wo know that wo shall win. Wo
are mvuko and nllvo to your interests and
pledge our utmost to establish the govcrmont
which your ballots commanded.
To protect the rights of our people np-ainst
the frauds and intimidations us mentioned
above , proceedings have been commenced for
a contest of the state oftlccrs. Such contest
will bo most stubbornly resisted by our com
mon enemy and involves a very largo expense
which must bo met at once. Wo , your com
mittee in charge , ask you to at once collect
and send as much money as possible to the
undersigned secretary. A receipt for the
satno will bo given. 1'lcnso lot this appeal bo
personal to each lover of justice , and act at
once. C. H. PJUTJ.B , Seo'y ,

Now it is eminently proper for any
candidate who believes himself to hnvo
boon corruptly deprived of an office to
which he was elected to use all legal
means for asserting his rights. It is
right and proper for any citizen or any
campaign committee to invoke the
power of the legislature and the courts
n gainst any party or parties that are
known or believed by thorn to have
wickedly and lawlessly contrived to count
out or count in any candidate or candi
dates. It is perfectly proper for these
citizens or committees to appeal to their
party followers or the people for funds
to enable them to carrj * on a
contest in duo form. But no
man or sot of men have the
right to appeal to tlfo passions and prej
udices of any class of citizens or of any
section b3' n distortion of facts nnd
downright inventions of alleged crimes
and a reign of terror that had no place
except in their own fertile imaginations.
It is a disgrace to Nebraska that there
is no law that will punish men for send
ing out such annrchistio firebrands. The
wildest ravings of professional dyna
miters and socialistic agitators can pro
duce no greater harm than such slander
ous screeds against the good name of our
state and its law-nbidine citizens.
They assort that "robbery and
riot hold high carnival on election
day , " nnd "fiends , thugs , bullies and
cut-throats terrorized the „ populace. "
What an infamous fabrication. Thorn
never was a more peaceable
election hold in Nebraska or any
where olso. There was no robbery ,
there wnsnorlottherowos no'bloodshed.
Nobody was terrorized nnd not a man
who desired to-voto and had a right to
vote was kept from voting anywhere ,
so far as wo hnvo lonrncd. No voter
was driven away from the polls before
ho voted nnd nobody who Wanted to vote
the independent ticket was molested in
the loast.
This raving trio assorts that "ballot
boxes wore stuffed , returns padded nnd
thousands falsely registered. " For
this assertion they have no proof
whatever outside of the malignant ,
gang of professional prohibition ngita-
tators who plotted to throw Douglas
county out because her vote was known
to bo almost unanimous against the pro
hibition amendment. All their energy
and argument wns exerted to create the
mprosslon that Omiiha was organizing
a raid upon the ballot box and import-
tig vast hordes of non-residents to do-
'eat prohibition , when as n matter of
'act , every precaution wns taken by the
authorities and citlzcnH to have a quiet
ind fair election and an honest count ,
regardless of consequence ? .
A1IHOAD.
Ono of the suggestions of Secretary
Rusk which should receive the prompt
attention of congress and the general
support of tlio farmers of the country is
Iho desirability of adopting some method
t > y which , as occasion requires nnd with
out long 'delays , the department of agri
culture shall bo enabled to send repre
sentatives to foreign countrlo3 in cases
where only personal visits can bo rolled
on to secure much needed information.
Our farmers are met by an actlvo compe
tition in every market where I heir pro
ducts nro offered for sale , and the com
mercial side of this condition of things
is well understood , but the secretary re
marks that it docs not scorn to bo so
clearly und orstood or so well appreci
ated that there is an intellectual compe
tition which is oyon more serious than
the other in tlin't it is the basis of the
other.
There can bo no question as to the
soundness of the proposition that if the
attainment of the highest.results in ag
riculture is sought wo must bo prepared
to learn nil that is to -learned else
where and then wisely adapt the information
mation to the conditions of the Ameri
can farmer. Obviously such information
must bo acquired by men who are them
selves familiar with our agricul
tural conditions. Our consuls may ,
nnd ninny of them do , furnish most val
uable information regarding agricul
tural conditions nbroad , but there Is a
great deal of practical and technical
knowledge to bo obtained which cannot
come within the scope of the observa
tion of these oilielals , and to the a&cer-
tnlnmont of which they could not devote
their tlmo were they specially qualified
for such a work. The men needed for
this service , in order to give it any
value , are such as have had a thorough
practical experience in farming or given
agriculture comprehensive scientific
study , and who are also well informed us
to the agricultural eondlttons of this
country. Mcti of this class , having n
deeper interest in their work than the
mere remuneration it would bring ,
could unquestionably acquire a great
deal of information in studying agricul
tural methods abroad that would bo of
tlio greatest value to the American
farmer.
It must not bo supposed that farming
in the United' States has attained its
highest possible development. Wo have
yet much toJoarnof these methods by
which the most advanced agriculturists
of the old world obtain the maximum of
production at the minimum of cost. And
wo are far behind the other nations of
the world in our efforts to acquire
larger knowledge on tills subject , Un
questionably wo are advancing in this
respect , but there is hardly a European
country where more careful attention Is
not given to the study and investigation
of agriculture than Is bestowed upon it
hero. Important gatherings of men devoted -
voted to agricultural science are con
stantly being hold in various parts of the
world at which this country is never
represented. Last year at the great in
ternational agricultural congress at
Vienna , at which more than a score of
countries were represented , the United
States , the greatest of all , had no repre
sentative , although especially invited by
the Austro-Hungariau government to
participate.
Hero is a practical matter to which
the farmers' alliances may properly nnd
advantageously give their attention , nnd
if they will support the recommendation
of the secretary of agriculture there
can bo no doubt of a favorable response
Jroin congress , with ultimate results that
cannot foil to bo beneficial to the , coun
try's agricultural interests.
ir-LBO.-lZ , EXKill'XlOXS.
The state constitution explicitly defines -
fines the classes of property exempt from
taxation. Besides public property it ex
empts "such other property ns may bo
used exclusively for agricultural and
horticultural purposes , for school , relig
ious , cemetery and charitable purposes ,
but such exemptions shall bo defined by
general law. " Tlio general law copies tlio
words of the constitution , tind vests no
discretionary power in state , c ounty or
municipal bodies. There is no mistak
ing the language of the constitution. It
specifically confines exemption to classes
of property "used exclusively" for the
purposes mentioned.
But the city council of Omaha con
strues the constitution to suit the fancy
of the combine , nnd without warrant ot
law exempted the following property
from taxation :
Keystone Independent Order of Oddfel
lows , north 155 feet of the south half of lot 4 ,
block 215.
Oinaim ledge No. 2 , Independent Order ot
Oddfellows , north halt of lot 8 , block S3.
Masonic temple block.
Young Men's Christian association block.
Gorman association , lot C , block 122.
Danish association , 71)4x109 ) , block 141.
Omaha driving park , ! 17 acres.
All this property , its value running
into hundreds of thousands of dollars ,
was placed on the free list , notwith
standing the adverse opinion of the
legal adviser of the city. City Attorney
Popploton declared that the council had
no authority to exempt this property.
It was not "used exclusively * ' for the
purposes named in the organic law ,
therefore the council could not remove
it from taxation without violating the
provision of the constitution.
It is a mntlor of general notoriety
that the Masonic , Oddfellows , Young
Men's Christian association , Germnnia
nnd Danish buildings afford sources of
revenue , yielding from thtvo to
ten thousand dollars annually. They
are not "used exclusively" for
religious or charitable purposes nnd
tholr total exemption from taxation is
not only illegal but na injustice to the
taxpayers nnd a discrimination against
poorer organizations. There nro sixty
organizations in the city , all of which
are as much entitled to the favor of the
council as the societies owning build
ings. Why nro not the buildings , parts
of which they occupy , exempt from tax
ation and the money thuseavcd tlio own
ers'applied to the rent ? Suppose each
of thcso slxtjTTJrgnnij'.atlong erected a
building , wo fvpt ld have sixty-five val
uable blocks TM ) from taxation while
the organizations waxed opulent on the
Imndsomo royouuo derived from rents.
It requires a wild stretch ol imagina
tion to class tno Fdrlvlng park as prop
erty "used exclusively" for "agricul
tural and hdrlYcultural purposes" in
view of the fact that it Is occupied loss
than ton days .tin the year as n fair
ground. It In neither owned nor con
trolled by agricultural or horticultural
societies and typars no closer relation to
these objects than a prohibition colonel
to the apostle of'truth. '
Where will this species of Illegal
favoritism end ? There is practically
no limit to the policy adootcd'by the
council in ignoring the ulnln letter of
the luw. Followed to Its logical conclu
sion , nil property controlled or partially
occupied by benevolent organizations
must . bo placed on the frco
list. Tlicro is no middle
ground. It opens wide the door
for tax shirking on flimsy pretexts and
perverts the generosity of the state.
Tho&o who urged and inaugurated these
illegal exemptions placed an effective
weapon in the hands of the swelling army
demanding the taxation of 'nil classes of
proxsrty | , regardless of the purpose for
which it is used.
ic.i AXi ) nw Ktu
Western jwoplo hnvo several good
reasons for regarding the recent gigantic
railroad combine withapprehension. .
Aside from the rate question , winch to a
considerable degree is amenable to state
legislation , there is another vital point
where it will touch the problem of
western development.
hi all the newer slates the matter ot
getting now railroads and extending
these already established iss of fit-fit im
portance. Nothing is more closely re
lated to the growth of cities us the com
plete and speedy development of sections
no.v sparsely settled. Heretofore the
most powerful inlliionce in this direction
has been the rivalry of competing lines
for profitable and promising buainess.
Under the new era of absorption of
great railroad interests in the
hands of a few , and under
the treaty ot pence agreed upon by sub
stantially nil western roads , the element
of competition must largely disappear.
Unless the policy of the trust is more
liberal than Is so far Indicated , it will
bo a much more difficult matter to in
duce the railroads to extend their lines
than it was when the old spirit of rivalry
flourished.
More than half of the state ol Ne
braska yet remains to bo developed by
railroad construction. A line drawn from
north to south , and passing through
Grand Island anu' Hastings , would mark
the western limit of anything like adoj
quato railroad development. Beyond
that line lie nearly two-thirds of the
state. Except in'tho ' extreme northern
portion , only tw6 lines of railway run
through this vast'territory from cast to
west nnd none whatever from north to
south. And yet it is to this section that
Nebraska must look for the larger portion
tion of the growth she hopes to attain in
the next ten "years' , Twice as many
people as now live in the whole state
could bo comfortably accommodated be
yond tlio point where railroad extension
has temporarily ceased.
The natural competitors for this rich
field are the Union Pacific , the Burling
ton , the Missouri Paiific , the Atchison
& Santa Fc. and , possibly , the Rock
Island. But if those roada are no longer
competitors what will bo the effect on *
our undeveloped empire in the est ?
This is ono of the several lights In
which tne now railroad trust is soon to
have an important relation to the future
of Nebraska.
IT is pleasant to bo able to record that
no person who has been notified that his
election will bo contested has yet said
that ho feared an attempt to cheat him
out of his office if the returns show ho
was elected. If this spirit continues on
both sides the outcome of the contest ,
whatever it is , will bo accepted by the
people of Nebraska without a murmur.
THIS success of Gordon in Georgia
demonstrates that it is ono thing to elect
an Alliance majority to the legislature )
and quite another thing to handle it a ?
a solid muss. The Alliance man was
defeated nnd the railroad man elected.
All is not victory that glitters in the
returns.
THE bloody scalpers now surround

TIIK now agricultural implement trust
still insists thatit'i ' will sell its wares
cheaper than formerly. If they do , the
farmers will kilobit , and wo shall see a
curiosity in the shape of a trust that is
popular.
TIIC Illinois democrats now claim that

The prohibitionists of Nebraska on election
day sent telegrams ull over the state saying
that those who were attempting to vote for
tlio amendment in the city of Omaha were
being driven away from the polls , boatoa and
largo numbers killed , and thnt ono bravo pro
hibitionist wns keeping count of the slain nt
the risk of his own life. The people of Ne
braska , however , wcro prepared for Just
such news and not ono vote was made for the
amendment by these lying talcgrnms. When
the whole thing was simmered down after
the smoke of battle cleared nwny , it was
found that all the truth there was in the tola-
grams was in the fact that cue prohlbit.onist
Imd lxwn knocked down , but that ho was the
aggressor nnd deserved the punishment ho
received , having grossly insulted a man who
was handing out tickets against the amend

Adjutant General Cole , however , is making
arrangements to get the state militia in read-

engaged sending out notices to the state
guards to inako immediate reports as to how
many men are available for immediate service
in case of necessity. It is therefore possible
that the state militia may yet have n chance
to see active service and nrovo that they are
worthy of a better epithet than that of tin

The present season is a pretty tough ono on
theatrical enterprises , and Hieo'a "World's
Fair" company which appeared at Funko's
last nipht is no exception. The company ad
vertised eighty people in the cast , but there
was hardly ono-fourth that number. It was
no fault of Mr. Rice , however , that such was
the case , but simply an example of very hard
lucic. When the company shewed nt Kansas I

Ill luck followed the company , and it wns
necessary to dispense with tlio services of
nearly two-thirds of the company , nnd the

I witnessed a strange and ludlcroui
scone several afternoons Blnco on one ot
the East Side streets , nays the Providence )
Telegram. Some laborers , who wcro re
pairing a portion of ono of the side walks , -
nnd deposited a pltchor of thickened * * *

their thirst beciuno annoying. "Whllo
they were busy ever the job a hound
trotted ulonir " , nnd spying the pltolier lit
once sot out "to investigate it. Ittsortin
his sharp mmzlo into tlio Interior lie < lin-
covered the doll.ciousnossof the contents ,
tind begun to inp vigorously. Of oourno
the moro ho transferred to his stomach
Iho lower lie was obllpod to push his juws
in order to keep the rofrutihing compound
B rnnjro of his tonpuo.
Finally ho exhausted tlio bovorngo
and started to oxtrlcato his head. A
dllllculty ho had not reckoned on here
presented Itself. Ills cranium , some
how , was too largo to bo drawn bade
through the opening into which it had
slid so nicely , nor could ho by tlio fierc
est of jerks or shaUes pet free. Then
begun aii oxcltinp performance. The
animal howled lustily nnd sprang in all
directions , rolling and pawing till it
soeinod as if lie would work himself into
madness. Bits of the pltchor were
broken now and then , und orifices
created in its shining sides , out of which
burst , like echoes from n dccp-stinkou
cave , sounds of tlio frightened fellow'H
torrillc cries. Fearing tlio consequences
of a hydrophobia lit , the workmen , who
had watched the ludicrous spectacle
from the beginning , siozed the dog and
smashed his clay prison into fragments.
The Woman Napoleon Hated ,
The lady whom the Emperor Napoleon
III. hated most on earth has just died.
During the brilliant days thai followed
the coup d'etat Napoleon made count
less efforts to live on peed terms with
the old nobility. There was no limit to
the bribery , cajolery , and oven threats
to which ho resorted in order to induce
thorn to frequent his brand now court.
The Marquise do Castollano , whoso
death is just announced , took the lead
in bidding him degunce. She not only
refused to go to court herself , but she
out any of her acquaintances whom she
know to meet with favor there , nnd as
her salon was the most charming in
Paris chance of being excluded from it
was not so lightly encountered. The
marquis was a grandniecoof Talleyrand ,
and it was through her influence that
the great diplomat signed an act of retraction -
traction and became reconciled to the X
church of Rome. For some years she -
lived in retirement , but in earlier days
she was ono of tbo moat brilliant and
powerful of the grandcsdamos of Paris.

Verily this is a. "perverse and unto
ward generation. " This latest bit of
news concerning Sister Itoso Gorttulo is
that she and "her male carrier of possi
ble germs of leprosy ( Dr. Lutz ) should
not 1)0 allowed to land in England , " and
that "thoy assumed a post which nobody
thrust upon thorn , and now , being ap
parently tired of their gratuitous atten
tion to unfortunate wretches who never
sought thorn or their medicines , they
nro returning- civilization moro or
less filled with the germs of the filthy
curse. " So.much for heroism , solf-sacri-
fice and devotion to a repulsive cause in
the year of our Lord 1890.
