The Farmers' Allance is pointed to the the example of the grange, which we are informed collapsgd becauso its members were not content with dis- cussing questions of hogs and corn, but entered in polities and were polit ically crushed to death. With these dreadiul examples before thom our farmers aro very patronizingly ad- vised to stick to their farmns and if they must onee or twico a yoar take a little interest in politics to support their party nominations which will be mrade for them according to the samo old methods by the corporation attorneys and their local henchmen, Eutirely apart from the discussion whother alliances should nominate an alliance ticket is the question of the duty of every member of the Farmers' Alliance to tako strong and active mterest in the political campaign of the state, majority of outside of three cities in Nubraska, the responsi- bility for the selection of honest and capable oflicials lies largely in the More thau any other class of our peoplo, Forming the large voters hauds of our farmer citizens. thoy possess tho power to ensure the nomination of candidates who cannot Lo purchased by the corporations, bribed by passes or cajoled by prom- ises. It is because of this fact that the railroads fear their combined in- fluence in state politics. With con- contration of the allianco strength aud a dotermination to make and sup- port only such nominations as will subservo the intorests of the pro- ducers of the state, the dispute be- tween the railroads and the people would soon be settled in Nebraska. No class is s0 well fitted to vote 50 in- tolligently on this great question be- cause no class suffers no much from the extortions and abuses of the mo- norolies. Tt is little wonder that the railroad organs alliance into pc the entry of the tics, for they com- prise a body of men who hay ivid- ually felt the effect of the evils of which they complain' and ure able to provide a remedy which will be all sufficient to prevent their recurrence in the future, BREAKING RANKS. The general improvement in southern commercial affuirs is marked by & corresponding improvement in her political condition. The elements which since the close of the var have combined to hold together a sullon and unprogressive’ bourbonism, now show a tendency to break up and form on new lines on any question of local iuterest which is of enough import- ance to set.the elements in ) 1 for a now combination. In North Caro- lina prohibition affurded an uppor- tunity for a break in the party rvanks which was taken advautage of by over fifty thousand democrats who refused to follow their political leaders. In Virginia the debt question divides the democratio party, although in reality there is little real differenco botween the demograts aud the readjusters in their views on the payment of the atate debt. The dobt simply fur- nishes the protext for a bresk in the party ranks which involves genwne difterences on questions of fur greater importance and which are likely in their final determination to build wp e party o ;diberal tendencies and progressive ideas, In Missisaippi thero ure indications of a division in the bourbon ranks. The nowination of Lowery for governer is understood to mewn the defeat of Sen. | 1ONg ator Lamar in the coming election. The defeat of the ‘“‘moss back” and conservative element indicates a com- ing disruption of the party forces and a willinguess to seck some other iseue than state opposition to the republi- can party and & devotion to the prin. ciples of the lost cause. It is particu- larly siguificant that Greenbackism is called upon to furnish a pretext for the new arrangement and the prediction that & coalition of republicans and greeuback-democrats is possible shows that there is @ no less strong dissatis- ny of bourbonism than in Virginia. All these signs of the times are indicative that the sullen southern spirit of conservatism and ostracism is giving way to a better feeling. Every tendency towards the growth of of a free ballot and a fair contest be- tween opposing parties will be wel comed and fostered by republicans in the south. Parly success is desirable luss for the spoils of party than for the assurance which it zives of the pres- ervation and maintenance of the prin- ciples which give life to the party it- self. The development of the liberal movement in the south means the apread of those fundamental prinei- ples which underlio the republicanism of to-day. The old issues of the war aro ended, It is to preserve the re- sults of the war and to guaranteo to all that freedom which was purchased by blood that the republican party is now contending. 1f affiliation with progressive southerners in Virginia, Georgia and Mississippi will accom- plish results which could not other- wise be obtained, southern republicans will do well to join in a movement which must eventually end in the triumph of those principles which in the north are maintained alone by the republican party. Our city council now sitting as a board of equalization, ought not to adjourn without a thorough read;just- ment of our city assessment rolls. In the first place they should see to it that real estate within the city limiws that is now assessed by the acre,which has been laid out and being sold off as lots, shall be assessed as city lots, ap- praised say at one-third of 1ts saleable valuation. We understand that some of the most valuable suburban prop- erty that sells as city lots at from $260 to $1,000,each isassessed at about five dollars an acre. Each acre can be subdivided into five lots, and if such lots are only assessed at $50 each, the assessment per acre would be at least $250 insteaa of $5. Tn the next place the council should equalize valuations on improved real estate, so that parties that own the palatial residences and superb store houses shall all bear their proportion- ate share of the burden of taxation. And when this is done the council should take in hand a class of capital- ists and corporations that operate our horse railways, gas works, palace car companies, telephone exchange, etc., and have their property assessed in the same ratio that the property of private individuals, associations and corporations are assessed. Last- ly, the council should thor- oughly investigate the personal property returns and bring the wealthy tax shirkers of the Sam Til- den order to time. An example worthy of emulation has been set by the city council of Denver, which is now in session as a city equalizaiion board. Attention was called by the Denver papers to the wholesale per- jury of capitalists in making returus of their personal property, Ex- Governor John Evuans, a millionaire, made oath that his taxable moneys and credits amounted to only $20,000- ‘The council cited Evans to appear be- fore them and made him give a de- tailed account of all his moneys, rail- road bonds, mining stocks and other assots under oath. Governor Evans sought to evade the issue by handing in a carefully prepared state- ments of his assets and liabilities, but the council refused to let him off in that way. His examination begun on Wednesday, is still progressing, and Mr, Evans is on a very het gridiron, This is what our city council ought to do. They ought to compel some of the Omaha nabobs who 210 known to have heavy sums of money in bank and are owners of mortgage loans amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, to appear before them to explain why they have failed to ac- count for these personal assots to the assessor, If Omahais ever to become a metropolis she must have larger reve- nues, and she can only inercase her income by compelling the wealthier cupitalists to bear their proportion of the burden of local taxation. Ir there areany fraudulent schemes in the territories in which the Dorsey's have not taken a hand, they still re- main to he uncovered. The latest developments comes from the grand jury of the United States distriet court of New Mexico, which has made a lengthy report to Olief Justice L, Bradford Pringe as to fraudulent en- tries in homestead and pre-emption claims i Colfax and Mora counties,in that territory. The graud jury de- scribes the modus operdudi as follows; The party or parties interested in get- ting hold of & hundred or a thousand acres of well-watered land some stream, employs some deputy surveyor, attorney, or agent, who obtained the necessary blanks from the land office, and fills these out with the number of | del the township and range previously obtained from the deputy surveyor, He then has them signed and the form of an oath gone through with before the provate judge of the county, gen- erally a Mexican who can’t read or write. Frequently the names of men long dead, or who have never lived upon the land in question, are used. Blank deeds are prepared at the time, and when the applications have passed THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: the registrar ot the land office and are approved at Washington, and patents have been obtained, these blank deeds are filled out and used. The grand jury stated that only lack of time pre- vented them from finding indictments and urged upon the government prompt action in the case. It is well underetood that the jury especially re ferred to Ex §:mutor Dorsey, whose fine cattle ranch of fifteen thousand acros is said to have been obtained in this manner, RS, J. Miurox ¥ the would-be Moses, or rather Joshua, of the negroes down in Mississippi, has been forced to ecalla halt in the exodus which he had planned for Oklahoma, the promised land. He says Presi- dent Garfield was about to issue an order authorizing the colonization of Oklahoma by negroes, when he was stricken down by the assassin, and the whole scheme liad to be postponed. Whether the negro colonists would get along amicably with the semi-civ- ilized Indians of Oklahoma remains to bo seen., The Proposed Money Order. The plan of simplifying postoffice orders as proposed by Postmaster General James 13 thus described: The blanks will have the figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 printed in onoe column. the nine numerals in another and again in a third. When a postmaster pre- pares an order for use, he punches out in the three columns the figures making up the sum desired. In the 86 _blank there will be three cyphers vrinted at the bottom of the dollar column, and when it is desired to transmit the fullamount of the or- der these will be cut out. No indi- cation will be made of the sender or the intended receiver. A stub on which the amount and the date will be marked wiil be the only record of the postoffice authorities. The time of their value is to be limited to three months to prevent them frem passing as currency., Up to that time they will be cashed at any postoffice by whomsoever presented. They will be no safer to transmit than money, but they will perfectly, it is be- lieved, accomplish the object of en- abling people to send awkward sums without the inconvenience of signing and countersigning necessary to ob- tain and redeem a money order, and the great amount of clerical labor which these involve to the depart- ment. The demand has been very great for some such system, and es- pecially by persons whose business re- quires them to collect large numbers of small sums from people out of their own place. It will be a boom to 1ewspaper and magazine publishers and to many of their advertisers. Stamps are very unsatisfactory to sender and receiver, and are worso in this country than in England, where they are redeemable if not tornapart. The new orders are tobe protected from counterfeiting by fine lathe work and by official stamp. The punehing will prevent raising. They will be printed on light note paper, which cannot be easily detected in the envelope and removed by a thief. The lower denomination will probably be sold for two and the higher for four cents. The proper bill for their introduction will be in- troduced into the next congress prob- ably, nnd perhapsin connection with one to extend tho old money order to §100 and reduce the price.

Jersey Gity Eveng Jour.al Catching weakfish is fun when there are plenty of weakfish to catch, but when the sharks take a hand in the game and give the fishermen a fight 1t is not always so amusing. Tuesday afternoon Mr, S, Heming- way, and Mr, Katteustroth, superiu- tendent of the New York Day ceme try, went to Prince's bay, Giffird's station, on a fishing venture, They went down at night, intending to go out at daylight Wednesuay miorning, when the eatch is usually the best Let them tell their own story. They say: Wo roughed it Tuesday night in the ficherman's shanty. Dick Fitz- gerald mado us comfortable, and at 3 o'clock in the morning we were up and dressed in & hurry when Jolly Dick came, and smd, ‘Gindemin, your coffee is now ready. 1 waut you to hurty off quick aud get on the ground as soon as possible; the wind is Just right from the southwest, and gintlemen, you will slaughter them to day if the sharkas don’t trouble you.” We started for vur boat. As it was not yet daylight, we could not find the good fishing ground, and had to wait for daylight, We selected our ground and dropped anchor and com- menced work. Weakfish are plenty, run large and bite well. We were having a good time when a large, black shark, a regular man-eater, made his appearance about fifty feet from our boat. Kattenstroth hooked a large weakfish, and as he was about raising the fish into the boat the shark made a dash and took the fish and part of his line away; as fast as we hooked fish and were in the act of raising them the sharks would make a plunge and take our fish and part of our lines. After a while we looked around and could see a mumber of sharks, man eaters, from eight te twelve feet long; still, the weakfish were plenty; once in a while we would be smarter than che sharks and get a fish into our boat; but the most ex- citing time, and when our courage weakened, was when Heningway hooked a large weakfish, and was reeling him in as fast as possible. Kattenstroth saw the shark go for Heningway's fish. He dropped his pole, got hold of the line to bring the tish to the boat, and when he was in the act of lifting the fish two large sharks maae a dash. as if to see which would get the fish first. The fish were out of the water some distance when the sharks made the dash They secmed to come from different directions, and made such a plunge that they took our fish, struck our boat and nearly upset it, and it looked asif oneshark was jealous of the other for getting the fish. At this time the water was as smooth as a mirror, The sharks commenced to fight close to the boat? there must have been hundreds of sharks in the fight; for acres around us the water was beaten and the waves rolled] the boat trembled, and it looked as if the water was beaten into a river of soapsuds. Every moment we ex- pected to be upset and have to take a hand ourselves in the fight. Just then Kattenstroth sung out: ‘“Hem- ingway, for God sake, lct us_get out of this place and go home! 1 would give 81,000 to be back at the ceme- tery.” Woslipped the anchor rope and pulled for the shore, Sharks were never known to be so plentiful in Prince’s bay as this season. Bull's Last Butohery. Montana Record. It has recently come to light that some seventeen Nez Perces were massacred by the Sioux under Sitting Bull in the north a month or six weeks ago. Tt will be remembered that the surrender of the Nez Perces to General Miles in the Bears Paw mountains in 1877 a fragment of the band escaped, fled across the boundary line, and associated themselves with the Sitting Bull band. These mas- sacred Nez Perces were the remnant of these fugitives, many of them having drifted away from the Sioux. I'he cause of the massacre, so far as we are able to ascertain, was some sudden quarrel that broke out in the lodges. The Nez Perces were killed to a man. Nil Desperandum.

They sometimes hunt game in packs of six to eight. Scme animals show fight against them successfully, Lions never venture to attack the adult elephant, and even ayoid the buffalo, unless they are more than two to one. In general they do not attack cara- vans, and never in day-time. At most a hungry lion may spring upon and carry off a straggler while passing through the brakes and jungles. But it is otherwise at night.,” When lions scent the caravan from afar, particu- larly if it contains goats or beasts of burden, they approach and announce their vicinity by terrific roars. Never theless, in a well-inclosed camp there is no danger; the lions never attempt to clear the obstacles, and marksmen frum behind the palisades can pick them off with almost unfailing aim. There is danger only when the camp is not_completely inclosed, or when those inside go out to attack them " AN HONEST MEDICINE FREE OF COST, Of all medicines advertised to oure any affoction of the Throat, Chest or Lungs, we know of none we can rec- ommend 50 highly as Di.
