LINCOLN' , Oct. 2 . ( Special.-The ) dli- covcry has teen made that It Is Senator Al len that Is telling the nowipuper men that the buying of buttcrlne Is cxclua.vdv a re publican crime. The folliwris 'tticr ' hai Just been received from a gentleman la Hurt county : LYONS , Neb. . OU. 22. To the Editor of The I3eo : At several points In the state It Is reported that Senator Alton has uiatle the stptemont In public meeting * that the oleo margarine purchased by the populist of- llelals was contracted for In advance by the republican officials and that the republicans tire responsible for buying thla product anil not the populist officials as claimed. Is Sen ator Allen's statement correct ? The statement ! Is not correct , as Allen well knows. The butterlnc was bought by the popocratlc officials on entirely new contracts nnd thpy did not bpsln to take fhc stuff until they had been In ofllco six months , which gave thorn time to get on good terms with tbo great packing houses where the imitation butter Is manufactured. It was In the last week of June , 1S97 , that the popo- i-iotn commenced t'ho whole-snip purchase of btitterlne , as the records In the state audi tor's office show. Alien ami the Storlc Yard * . That Penator Allen Is himself not unfa miliar with the packing houses and stock yards Is proven by L'ho records of the last populist state convention , where ho nctcd the leading part In getting the stock yards plank knocked out of the party platform. In order that' the Voters may refresh their memories on this performance the original plank , adopted by the convention without ! a dissenting vote , Is again printed , being as follows ; The clock yards of South Omaha arc noees- mirlly patronised by the people of this htate. Its business Is public and aiot pri vate. The Stork Yardc company charges extortionate prices for the PCI vices It ron- ileir. and for the. grain and hay It supplies. It has Issued millions of dollars of watered Mork , on which the people are compelled to pay Interest ; It refuses relief ; It bribes legislatures ; It plunders our people und has kcrured Injunrtion agalnwt all laws which seek to prevent Its unjust exactions. It Is a giant monopoly created by captains of In- diiflry. For these reasons we favor the ownership of the stock yards at South Omaha by the Male Itself , Mich ownership to be ecurcd cither by the purchase of the present yard tit It * , actual value or the establishment of another stock yard ; and If the state cannot necuro the ownership of the present stock yard at Its actual value , then we favor a raw levying an occupation tax against the Stock Yard company of a definite gross xiim , which shall ho cnti.il to all the in terest paid on the watered sto k of the company. The wtock growers of Nebraska must no longer bo compelled to pay divi dends on llftltlous capital which represents i olhing but fraud and dlahoncsty. This radical plank In the platform sounds fls If It might have been urltton by Llou- ti-nant ( Jovrrnor Harris , whr has .since de clared publicly that thu stock yards people ple organized the legislature and that they dictated the nominations at the late lamented populist convention. It Is known , however that the platform was really written bj Mike Harrington of O'Neill. U l Qjta'clfickjin tbt * > mor.ulti-nftcr ! ono- ' ' ' < n.lrd of'tnptUe'leiacVlfa'd' ; { the conven tion and another third were asleep In their i-ratR , Senator Alleu moved that the part > platform bo recommitted for the purpose o making some minor changes. When the committee brought the document back am presented It to the sleepy convention the radical stock yards plank had btcn stricken out and the following substituted : We demand a speedy determination of the legation Involving the validity of the stock > atds act , regulating charges for feed ant yardage , to the end that It may be iloier- mlned If t-ald art Is Ineffectual what steps thould be taken to reduce salil yards to talc ownership. Iloth Wr < - In ( hiDrill. . There has been much discussion eve the question as to who were the zull' : parties In the manipulation of the p'.ocl yards plank. The fact that It was don shortly after Poynter had been made th nominee of the convention lead ? to the In evltable conclusion that both Pouilor all Allen were In the deal. Disclosures mad nlnre that time showing the close connectlo between the popocratic leaders and th paeklnc house aud s'.ock yards manager uliow that there were no Innocent partlc aside from the country delegates who sa asleep lu their feats and allowed the dea to go through. The records of that convention also shoi the sentiments of Senator Allen on the an nexatlon Question am ) will bo Interestln reading to these who have hcaid some c his recent spccche.v Ho furnished cople of parts of bin convention speech to th sret's that night mid the following Is ni I'Xtraict as published In the newspapers th next morning : The populists suggested thtv.ir polic ; adopted bv the national administration. Mei of all politics are ( it the front , and th officers who Itad the armies arc not all re publicans. The men nru not partUaut * bu American citizens. All parties have beci loyal and true , but the great economic qucs lions -yet remain unsolved. The populls 1-nrty 1 * pledged to the 16 : o I policy , and t the drtvjnc out of existence the natlonn bank * . The issuance of war bonds wa unnecessary , t'p to six or ocven years ag the national debt had been greatly reducci ! hut the corporate money power secured It expansion by the Issuance of bonds unde Cleveland's administration. H then went on with a dl cusslon of th bond question , and the direct quotation fror bin speech begins as follows : A demand will be made on Sn.iln to fin her flag lu Cuba. Torte Rico , the Philip pities , the Ladronos and the Caroline. " , an that nil these colonies will be made free an Independent. , The morning newspaper account of hi speech then continue * : "He declared him self opposed to the policy of annexation , dc tailed the Increased expense that would ti entailed by this country , none of whtc would bu paid by the outlying colonies , an charged that the annexation scheme wj being concocted by the Sugar trust. In clos Ing Senator Allen said there Is a hard Ugt In prospect this fall , but he Is confident < victory. " Any of these extracts and nnny othei Just as Interesting can bo fr.ua 1 In the UK of tbo morning newspapers of August .1 un j 4. Senator Allen lux changed his mm. ! number of times since then , but on tl manipulation of the stock ranis plank tl ! : populist leaders have been .silent as U grave ever since. Lieutenant Governor Ha rls U the only man of them all who h : lud the temerity to mention the BUbJcc and bo made no hesitation In saying that 11 h flock yardi dictated the nominations at that It dictated the organization of tbo la utate senate. Some explanations on part i populist offlcescekcra are in order. 1'nrt of Porter I'uliuor. News comes In of ome speeches belt made by Secretary Porter In which th great reformer makes coma statement < Known to be untrue. He * ays that stn warranta never were at a premium from IS Up to the time rhe prpullsts took charge I the < ( Ute house. At a meeting lu Clay county , the other day he was called donn by rt gen . tlcman who said he knew of his own knol J i-dgo that warrants were at ! a premium In ISM. Porter exprcs. ed his Ignorance of any such condition , but promised to look the matter up. He has gone right on making the game stateraenw. however. It U well known that warrants went up tea a premium In thu winter of ISM. sometimes reaching as hlRh as 2 per cent. During the legislative session there wus considerable rivalry among the money lenders as to who should get the warrants and at every pay day of the legislative session agents from the brokers awarmed the state house and made bids for the warrant' * . During the gesMon the premium was 14 per cent most of the time , but went up to 2 per cent on warrants of over MOO In amount , nvcry populist speaker knows thin to bo true , but none of them admit It. They also know that at the present time any Intm-i-bearing ; bonds or warrants are at a premium and that they themselves buy county bonds nt a premium , using the funds of the state to make the purchase ? . They know thar they have had no more to do with the bringing of warrants to n premium than they have had In increasing HIP demand for nil kinds of egotlablo interest-bearing paper. .iut they re too buay fooling the people to admit It. lilnrnlti l.ixnlorx , fleneral Rage is agitating the matter of ending Christmas boxes to the different ompanles of the First regiment now at lanlla.

At a special meeting of the bqaril held last night the matter was settled. The meeting was called for the particular pur pose of considering this matter and consequently quently the first business was the report of the committee which has had It lu charge , consisting of H. J. Penfold , II. F. Thomas , J. C. Moore , R. C. Jordan , J. F. Burgess , Superintendent of Buildings Banker , Super intendent of Schools Pearsc and Secretary Glllan. The report was 03 follows : Mr. President : Your special committee appointed to consider the proper hteps to be token with reference to the mibmis.-iou | of a bond proposition to the people ot this bchool district at the approaching election In order that the Board of Education may borrow money with which to provide additional school facilities , also a new building at the Cass school site , and a new building at tbo Pacific school site , corner of Twelfth and Iticlflc , also a new building In the vicinity of Fortieth and Davenport Htreets , desire to report that It has given this matter very careful consideration , and after having as certained the wishes of a largo number ot citizens and taxpayers regarding the mnt- UT wo desire to recommend to this board that a bond proposition be submitted to the I voters of this school district at the general election to bo held Tuesday , November 8 , 180S. for the purpose of enabling this Board of Education to borrow $250,000 to bo ex pended as follows : One hundred and fifty _ thoUHand dollars for the purpose of provid ing additional high school facilities on Cap itol square , the present location of the High school ; | 35,000 for the purpose of erecting a new building on the Ca s school site on Cat's street between Fourteenth and Fif teenth streets ; $35,000 for the purpose of erecting a new building In the vicinity of the Pacific school fillo on Pacific street be tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets , and J30.000 for the purpose of pur.-haslng a site and erecting a new building In the vicinity of Fortieth and Davenport streets.

Smut * of the OllJl'lMlon * . As l ordinarily the case In the board meetings , there were a number ot objections to tin * report. One > was advanced by Member Johnson to the effect that the suras set aside for the grammar1 schools were not ' large enough , but this dl'i not meet will any consideration. ' Member Hess objected to-the designation ot the corner of Twelfth and Pacific streets as the site for the Paclflo school. He as- hcrted that the File Is In litigation and II might come to pass that the city could noi hCLtire It , in which cjse he feared that the validity of the bonds might be questioned. Attorney Galnt-s was called upon In con nection with this point and declared that I ! was the better policy to specify the silo , as he .lid not think that by doing BO the bond ) would be invalidated In capo that the stt < were not secured. I Nevertheless , In conformity with Hess objection , the report was amended to rcac I that the money set aside should be ex i pemied In the purchase of a site in the vl- j clutty of Twelfth and Pacific streets insteac , of on the coruer. Secretary Olllan stated that Inspector o Buildings Banker , who was on the specla committee , had not seen the report on accoun of illness. He stated , however , that Banks : was In favor of It. although he felt tha j more money should be voted for all thi buildings. Van Gilder thought that the amount wui altogether too small. He declared that thi people of the city would vote for $500,00i for school buildings as quickly as ithe ; would for $250,000. Especially would thin b the case with thojv who could not afford ti bend ( heir children to other schools thai ' those , In th city , although the moneyed m i might be opposed 'to ' it because they couli send their children away. Ho therefor' ' moved that the amount of the bonds shouli bo Increased to $300,000 , the extra $50,00 i to be expended on the High school building This amendment was downed by the foi lowing vote : Yeas Hess. Irey , Van Glider 3. Nays Bandhauer , Burgess , Dennis , John i son , Klewlt , Moore , Penfold , Sears , Thoma . ' Jordan 10. n ] Absent Buchanan and Gralton. The report as Introduced 'was ' then pn to A vote nnd was unanimously passed. All A rc' - to Work for It. President Jordan urged all members t the board lo make a sincere canvass fc the bond proposlllon. Member Van Glide pledged his support , saying that he woul have preferred that the amount had bee fixed at $400,000 , but would nevertheles v i work to have the bonds pass. Memlu _ Burgess stated that he had been In favor < the three high school plan , but since th other had prevailed he would do everythln _ , In his power to sfcuro the passage of th bonds. Next Monday will bi > a holiday In tli schools , in order to enable the teachers an children fo participate In the celebration < Omaha day on the exposition grounds. !

TALKS LEATHER AND LINEN ChlcitKO > < MI Ninprr | Mnu Hllnt < - nn AVlint Mny Ho Done for On.aim In Ihr Kutiiri't Members of the Real Estate exchange met yesterday at noon In the rooms of the Commercial club. It wa a business meetIng - Ing and tb * m tter that were presented for consideration were discussed In the dining room while lunch was being served. Vice President C. C. George was the presiding officer and the meeting was formally begun with an address by John \V. Ryckman of the Chicago Chronicle , who was a guest ot the exchange. He was Introduced by Mr. Georgu a. * a man who had come to Omaha In the Interests of the newspaper with which he Is connected to make u study of the re sources and commercial activity of the. midj j j dlo west , and for that reason his opinions of Omaha's trade piospects would be Inter esting. In the course of his remarks Mr. Ryck man said : "There Is no more Interesting theme of discussion than municipal de velopment. In the steady nnd lasting up building and prosperity of a city as much depends upon municipal character as upon I natural and acquired facilities and rich re sources. In business and In Industry there are legitimate channels , the course of which cannot be altered. Trade follows the rail- i roads and the waterways Into populous and productive districts , but It cannot be forced by any amount of misguided exploilatlon. Factories aud works cannot thrive every where. There must be some unquestioned demand for them and strong economical reasons for their operation. Omaha occu- I pics a unlquo position today. H has car- ! rled out successfully a great public enter- ! prlso and It Is the llrst exposition in the United States that has made a great ex position pay. Omaha Is looked upon as a safe city. Us commerce Is staple and ad vanced , Us manufacturing Institutions are prosperous and Us avenue. ? of trade and of Industry arc plethoric of opportunities , Over two-thirds of a million hides arc shipped out of Omaha every year for the reason , to quote one of your lending pack ers , that Ml Is cheaper to send hides to the bark than the bark to the hides. ' I do not believe that It Is any longer necessary to send these hides away from Omaha aud lose to your city the enormous revenues that would result from their tanning and manufacture at home. The conditions that have deprived Omaha of large manufac tories dependent for raw materials upon bides and leather no longer exist. The best tan for hides and the best preservative for leather is now being extracted from certain common weeds which are only too abundant upon the plains of Nebraska. "And what would follow Iho establish ment of leather Industries ? The boots and shoes of the west and of the Pacific would largely be made in Omaha.

The time IB at hand when mills built In Omaha can supply the western market with the linen goods of coarser texture In vast amount and variety. None of our crops nre as profirablo as flax.
