THE preparation of a general order announc- ing to the army the death of Gen. oral Crook. Adjutant General Kelton said | today that the faneral arrangoments will be | condneted in accordance with the wishes of | the family and will to some extent depend on the time and place of burial. From a | personal acquaintance.with General Crook he was of the opinion that he would not care to have any particular pomp or ceremony at his funoral. The details will be arraneed, however, us 8000 a8 the wishes of tho family | are known, e A Tribate Krom Hayes. Faesoxt, O, March $1.—Ex-President Tages will go to Chicago to attend the funeral sorvices of General Crook, Ho was much affected by the sudden death of his old commandor @and revicwed . the fgeneral's record, paying high tributo to ‘his character Both in public and private life. Juring the war, said General Hayos, ofi- rs and men alike loved Crook as a brother, In his intercourse both with oficars and pri- | vates he was o model commander. To Gon- erat Crook a private soidier was not only a part of a machine but a fellow man, intrinsically the equal in intellect and worth of the officer who commanded him. Without lowering or loosening the reins of discipiine, he treated his subordinates nccording to this | high and enlightened estimate.” Speuking of General Crook’s Indian cam- paigns and his dealings with the Indians, | General Hayes said: ‘“*No statesman or | shilanthropist has formed theories for up- [ifting tho rod nian, swhich, in spirit and sim, aro more worthy a just, gencrous and powerful nation than the practioal mensuros which General Crook had devised, and wpite of discouragement and formidable ob- tacles has carried into aotual administra- tion, Entitled to the wreath that encircles the brow of u hero in war, he also achieved the pure fame which belongs to him who, taling the part of a weak. injured and most friendices people, has hiad the supro satisfuction of giving them a fair start and an equal chance in th " General Sherman's Commonts. New York, March 21.—[Special Telogram to Tus Bee]—General Sherman, when ho Jearned of the death of his domrade-in-arms, dieneral Crook, said: “‘General Crook was always a man on whom I could depend. He was tho most successful man in dealings with Indians that the United Statcs ever had in its service. The Indians respectod and trusted kim and he could bring them around or make them amenable to reason where everyone else failed, During the war of the_revellion Crook had charge of the Second cavalry division, stationed in Ala- bama, and did excellent servico. Dusing my fifteen years as commander-in-chief of the army 1 had ample opvortunity to find ouc Crook's good traits, and I never found him anything but a man who could be depended on'in every emergency.” The Dead General's Career. General George Crook. United States army, was born near Dayton, O., September 8 1820, (e entered the military academy at | West Point, July 1, 1843, Graduating in 1 he was assigned as brevet second lieu- tenans to the Fourth regiment of infantry and proceeded by way of Nicaraugua to join his regiment, then stationed n California. He was promoted to be second lieu- tenant July 7, 1S53, to be first licutent March 11, 1856, and to be captain May 4, 1861, stantly and sctively employed in the various Tudian wars which mark the early history of California. In 1857 he commanded tho Pitt river expedition and was wounded by an arrow in an engagementon June 10 i that year. In two other actions be broke tho power of the Indians and restored peace to California. in a period of about nine years ho was brought in contact with nearly every tribe of Indians in Oregon and Washington territovies, his services be- g always in demand where active and arduous work was required. At the outbreak of the rebellion he was iven command of a regiment of volunteers rom his own state which he drilled in such o manner that in May, 1862, they were ablo with inferior numbers to inflict a telling blow on the rebel forces under Gen- eral Heth at Lewisburg. IHe was wounded in the engawement. For his services on this occasion he was brevetted a major in the rogulararmy. He was next cngaged iu the northern Virginis ampaign and promoted successively to be brigadier general of vol- uuteers and lieutenant colonel n the regular nervice, He was next sent to West Virginia, whore he rendered invaluable service from October 1862 to February 1563, participating in the Tennessee campaign with the army of the Cumberland and the advance on Tullahoma, the action at Hoover's Gap, the battle of Chickamauga and the pursuit of General Wheeler's cavalry, and was brevetted a | colonel in the regular arm, From February to July, 1864, he was in command of the Kanawha ~district in West Virginia, conducting a raid on the Virginia & Tennessee railroad, which was utterly de- stroyed for many miles, In June, 1564, he made the raid on Lynch- burg, and was brevetted a major general of voluuteers. General Crook's brilliant scrvices during the stirring Shenandoah campaign are world ronowned.. He was after this, for gallant and merritorious services, made a brigadier genoral, In 1865 ho was in command of tho cavairy of the army of the Potamuc, He was next assigned to the District Wil- mington, North Caroling, and mustered out of the volunteer service, having attained the highest rank conforred by the gover: ment and likewise the highest brevet rank, though in the mctunl service he still remained a captain, In 1566 he was promoted to be a major of the Thir- tieth infantry and a lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-third, 5 At thie close of the war ho was assigned to moro arduous duties iu the west, His bril- liant services against th2 Indiaus have been told ir story and song the world over. He was successively promoted till in October 1578 he received a well earned reward in the shape of a commission as brigadier general. In April, 1850, General Crook was ordercd to the command of the department of the Platto where in 1887, by his decision and sound judgment, he succeeded in proventing o serious uprising of the White river Utes under Colorow. From the beginning of his career in the early days of California to the day of ms death ho has been almost constantly in the field, Wherever action and arduous service was required General Crook was in demand and could be found sharing the bardships and enduring the same futigues as the pris vate soldicrs in his command, On April 6, 1585, he was appointed by the prosident to succeed Schotield us major gen- oral. His last ofticial work was at the head of tho commission on tho opening of the Sioux reservation. Dr. Miller Talks of General Crook. Dr, George L. Miller was one of General Crook's most intimate acquaintances. The news of the general's sudden and unex- pected death almost prostrated him with grief.

The ex-senator was accompanied by Al Fair- brother of Omuha. Mr, Van Wyck spoke as follows: History Is again ropeating itseif. The ad- versities and dangers of taday are the legiti- mate resuits of years of daring, scheming and unconscionable plundering by the fo as well us_culpable supineness and acquies cenco by the many. During all these years there were not wanting those who “have warned the people, signaled the approaching danger, trying to rouse those who were to bo tke victims, Although the causes reached far back, the beard of transvortation, with the exception of the attorney generai ana treasurer and other statesmen, could never see oven a speck on the distant norizon, not u cloud in the s <y, even of the size of a mau’s hand.” They could only see danger from the cranks and demagogues who at the street corners were calling upon the people every- where to protect themselves and resist tne spoilers, justas years ags the aiders to tho sluve power saw no peril to the republic from the slave trader and negro seller, but dis- cerned lurid skics and destruction of the union from helpless women and chained slaves. Not until 1,000 brave and determined farm- ers met at Grand Island in Jaouary last did they have any glimpses of the injustice and robbery inflicted upon producers, as helpless as far us rulers were concerned as the slave on the auction block. Then came a vision and they proclaimed that poverty and bank- ruptey would soon overtake the very people they had ouly a few short weeks before with cqual vehemence proclaimed to be the wealtniest on earth, Then the running to and fro, the bot haste with which they tum- bled over each other and madly rushed as humble suppliants, with hat in_hand, pant- ing, breathless, imploring to be admitted into the gracious presence of their masters, meckly suggesting they had always been ob- sequious servants. But the masters spurned wnd repulsed them, when they became still more importunate and finally in contempt of the official cowardice refusing a crust, THEY CAST A CRUMB, 10 per cent reduction, with the added insult, that they would see to 1t, as did A’haroah of old, that punishment should follow the im- pudence of askiug relief and that the crumb they gave and more should be swallowed up in reduced prices for corn, which they did by issuing orders to the elevators they controlled. In the past you have been taunted by the railroad cappers, when they knew you were bound hand and foot by party chains, with, “*Waat can you do aboutitt” When willa free peo- ple iearn that they are masterst Tho same class when dominated by slavery propound- ed the same question to the ~helpiess slave and proud Ceucasian. Party claims then held enthrailed the brain and heart of the repub- lic, and the great wajority then danced; as now, when the bosses piped. So you have allowed corporation teols to put the party hooks in your nose, lead you to- primaries to send them to conventions, there tv digtate nominations, elevate their masters’ heunch- men unl overthrow you® friends. The give the hook - another gentle twitch and lead --you = to the ballot box to bind tighter the chains. Then they made you believe you wera rich and prosperous; that all you had and were was bestowed by corporations: thav they had generously built railronds, given you the privilege to toil for bread, and even the awr of heaven was their bounty. These men talk loud and long about terrorsim in the south, IKven the attorney of the Union Pacific, receiving £12,000 per year of the mongy extorted from you by a. corporation not equal in humunity to the old slave driv- ers, 18 deputed not to attend the law. busi- ness of thav bankrupt concern, as its mana- gers choose to call it, but to plan, concoct schemes, manipulate politics to further the interest of that robber corporation, is full of indignation at the iniquity of denying to every man his legal rignt. Unforvunately he can only see the negro cheated out of his baliot. It would be well if he and all such couid widen the range of vision and in- clude in his tearful discourse the whits men of his own state cheated at the ballot box, in primary convention and legislature. Hefore the Pacific railroad commission he swore his mission for a compensation was to serve, and only serve, the railroad as against the peopls. Whilo he prates bis confedorates and conspirators, - partisaus from republican aad democratic partios, swear, and uncontradicated by him, that he dispensed substance to his Hessian band with astipend of £200 per month to each, that they should inflict a baser despotism and outrage upon tho people of Nebraska than the old masters upon their former slaves. You know all this and more. You remember at conventions called vepublican controlled by these chivalric champions absorbed in rescuing the southland from THE GRASP OF THE SPOILER, and vleading for interests protected by tariff, while organizing trusts and syndicates and for the millionare robbers who n ae- flance of justice issued fraudiently $4,000,000,000 11 stocks wund bonds, asum greater than tho nationul debt, payiag not @ farthing of value, making iv & morgago on all the farms and in- dustries of the nation and collecting inte est thereon, Yet theso chivalric apostles stole from white men their Dbirthright and in republican, conventions howled themselves hoarse when _ resolutions were offered to relieve from heavy bur- dens, merely asking for free sugar, £res lum- ber and a reasonable reduction on the coarso fabrics which labor must wear, and to relieve from more infamous aad extortionate trans- portation charges. ‘I'ho political tricksters will now talke an- other tack, They will try aad worm ioto your confidence and take shelter there “until the clouds roll by. You will find corporation papers playing the same rolo and giving gratuitous advice. Bewara.of them. A few honeyed phrases you will find interspersed with the usual venom aud meanness of the monoply press. Stand by the papers which have stood by you m the dark days, which have withstood the jeers and lusults, and promiso of gain, but were true to the right. Do as you aro now doing—organize in every. bre- cinet und sehool district, lay the foundation for the election of county offcers. Don't worry about politics for the presont; .they will keep. T'he republican party has been used by the corporations and combined. - ital as the aemocratic by slavery. There were good men then who wanted (o save. the democratic party first aud freedom after- wards, as there are good men today-who are solicitous about the republivan party ‘first and their homes afterwards, At this junc- ture, with 80 much at stake, you cannot af ford to be of that cluss. Both parties have factions believiug the same croeds; both nave hign tariff advocates and reform advo- ocates, for a gold basis and contradiction, also for expansion aud free coinage; both Lave daefendars of subsidies for ships and millions for war vessels. And the unwillingness Lo pass. peusion bills by the present congress indicates antagonism to liberal peasions in both par- ties. No matter what party administers the goverument, Wall street will control the fi- nances and treasury. Party lines can only be drawn tight now in the Interests of high protection and high transportation. Now,when 1o varty question is at issue iet straight-laced party discipline be sent to the rear.

' What mockery for this class of orators to ha prating for protection ana justice for the nogro in the south, for whoim they care np more than did the old task master, when to the men of the north who could expose and resist the plundering of their masters they play the roie of dic- tator and despot. A GREAT POTINT GAINED, One great point has been gained. You not only clearly see, but fully realize_your for- lorn and depressed condition, Year after year you have been warned. You were noti- fled in time that the dam was about to breal, and the rushing flood of avarice and extor~ tion would destroy; but you were heediess. Messengers trom corporations assured you that the threatened dangers wero only bless. ings in disguiso, that those who had "organ- ized corporations and syndicates were true philanthiropists and Christians, Godly gentle- men workiug exclusively for the interest of the people; that by absorbing the earnings they encouraged industcy and _econom, that such as Gould “and Vanderbilt wero generous and _self-sacrificing, and especially worthy of worship by wear- ing their lives away in gathering up the earn- ings of others 80 they can build other roads, taking in their kindly embrace still more millions. So that other class who show their contempt of usury laws by daily vio- lating them, claiming the same pious hu- manity, insist upon 2, 3 and b per cont a month, increasing tne rate as the necessity and poverty increases until the land is cov- ered with mortgages, which champions of capital claim in congress are evidence of thrift, energy and prosperity. In all ages there have uot been wanting ghastly and ghostiy defenders of all forms of oppression, all schemes of injustice. In tno days of Charles I the church enforced obedience to a creed that all governments were divine and the king could do no wrong. So in later days statesmen and preachers argued the divine right of siavery, and ecloquent preachers endeavored to increase the zeal and humlity of tne poor slave and adminis- ter the sacrament, impregnated with the pleasing admonition that he must cheerfully bear chains and stripes because it was 8o foreordained in the councils of creation that he would be cursed with eternal fire 1f he dare assert the right_to his own labor, to his wife and child. What mockery! The great Lincoln breathed bitter denunciations upon those who would wrest the glory of the Almighty by holding Him responsivle for the crimes and cruelties of men and devils, Would you beliove it that at the anniversary of the”birtn of Lincoln to perpetuate his memory it was desecrated by rehashing the sacrifice against the Most High which had appeared for centuries i defense of despot- 18m, JOHN'S GREAT DISCOVERY. After denouncing s *‘dreamers and idiots those who prate of’anideal community where all live upon un exactequality,” the attorney of the Union Pumflcinwrumd the assembled multitude that the Infinite Creator has never yet made two beings éxactly alike, and he fur: ther said: “It is’ Also inevitablo that there stiould be different classes of socicty in cvery government. The labor of the world could be carried on in 6’ other way.” Aud he added, “It is also inevitable that there shall always bo an unequal distribution of wealth, and this gives riseto_much serious discon- tent. 1f it were not for the accumulation of great fortunes, if it were not for tho combi- nation of capitabiu corporate organizagion, those great enterprises which so rapidly de- velop the country and give cm- ployment to millions, who might other- wise starve, could' never bo under taken or successfully carried out.’ How kind of the Union #ucific to provide at large salary an attorney wito is so closo to the In- finite Croator that be can proclaim his in- evitable purposes. - @hedays of miracles are not passed when au attorney, even a railroad attorney, still more_ wonderful, a railroad political attorney, could even inspire that de- gree of confidence in the Infinite Creator. His large experience in runuing primaries and conventions and manipulating legisla- tures, inducing members to betray their creators, the people, must huve encouraged Thurston with the brazen boldness and suc- cess in a mission so delicate, Horrible to contemplate! Millions saved from starva- tion only through the divine purpose of unequal distribution and railroad corpora- tions! The beuutitudes of the Christian era are: incomprehensible. We begin to know what we are here for. This John is evi- dently lincally descended, and in regular succession, from the former apostle, John the Baptist. It1s well to be asaured by one who knows that the nearness of millions to death by starvauon and rescuo were inevita- ble as weli as the presont unequal _distribu- tion of wealth shall always be. That must settle it and render useless any attompt to bridge over or narrow the gulf between the different _classes, or.to limit or modify the unequal distribution of wealtn which the modern apostle John says is ‘‘inevitable and shall always be.”! Alas, alas, the latter end is becoming worse than tho first. In the ages past men have taken courage from tho hope thero was and could bo a “better timo coming.” Now the modern apostlo John 8says 1t is “inevitable,” that the door is closed against mankind and bolted on the inside, for “it shall always be."” THE UNION PACIFIC APPROVES, These sentiments aro evidently approved by the Union Pacific and kindred philan- thropic organizations, who rob the producers and then io o spieit of charity save “millions from starvation.” Is such tho tenure by which the people, the sovereigns of a great ropublic, preserva live in_their human bod- ies? Fortunately tho inevitabls of the upos- tle is somewhat modified, otherwise the modern John would be aily digporting in sicin raiment and luxuriating on locusts and wild honey, Tho attoruoy, as a reward of merit, has evidently been relieved from the drudgery of the luw and promoted to a wider field, and seems to ba earning his sharo of tho tnequal distribution by such speeches in different sections, with the inevitable pur voses of educating his hearers to the relig ious sspect of the robberies of the Union Pa cific; that the miilions must be contont for crumbs to savo thom from starvation, while the grecdy corporation in struggling to carry out the “inevitable purpose” of “the Infins iee Creator,” and continue the eternity of un- equal distribution, usks congress to have its debt extended seventy years with reduced interest {rom 13§ to 3 por cont 8 year, while the millions saved from starvation by its bounty ave compelldd to pay 8 per cent a mouth. 1f the attorpey-abostle will brief his theology he wufihl. ind the “inevitable” and the “aiways sihlf’be” was createa and sustaived by the Paafaohs and Cicsars and Charloses and by {2%? Goulds and Vander- bilts, which as u rpgult of the curse have af- flicted every cnune;" and age. The offorts of the good and trip in.the centuries past are i protest agalngt the version of the rail- road apostle, as thi ingvitable of the Infinito Creator. For 6,000 yGars or more, in firo and blood, 1n prison pn, at the stake, on the gibbet, the martyr wwhoso blood has ce- mented tho foundatiofs of each of the fow republics which haye adorned tha world's history, all bear \é\‘qfipsm the mpiety of such tieology.

No wonder they make infidels who picture God the author aad Hnisher of such crimes! You would sooner take tho version ot Jeffer- son and the fathers of the republic as to what the Infinite Creator had intended when they boldly proclaimed for the encourage- ment of the earth *‘that all men were created freo’ aud equal Jefferson, speaking of slavery, trembled for his country when he thought that God was just, Christ rebuked the inevitavle when He defended His apos- tles in plucking ¢orn on- the Sabbath to foed the hungrv. He rebuked the inevitavle when He drove the money changers from the temple. The Almighty loug before re- buked the inevitable when Ho sent Moses to rescuo the Israelites from the inovitable arasp of Pharaob. So, too, when He breathed His vengeance in the thunders of Sinal against those who loaned their money on usury, and against the lsraclite who kopt after tho eventillé the garment of his brother pledgod for usury. Slavery was as muoch inovitable a anny, as much as oxtottion yot this same inflnite Creator wiped it out in tears and blood. Modest, indesd, to talk about dreamers and idiots, eranks and demagogues, and thean boldly arraign the infinite Creator as the autbor of such monstrous doctrines | As vour representative in tho sonate, your spoaker, heretoforo illustrating the hard- ships of too much tariff, roferred to one of the practices of the inovitable by those who beliaved the best way to tako care of the poor was to overload the tables of the rich, 80 there would be more crumbs for Lazaru That mode of taking care of the poor is still continued and approved by corporations as well as protectionists, but Christ rebuked that sort of inevitabie, although that rich mAn Was a8 good a8 the averaxo of his class, performing his religions duties with neat- ness and dispatch, ho was, forsooth, only carrying out the purposes af the Creator, yet Christ ~sternly rebuked. that part of tho wevitable of the Infin. ito [ Creator by denying him access to the new Jeruaalem and prohibiting him even a drop of water from the finger of Lazarus, Legal uposties for corporations and trus will make slow work spreading Christianity by preaching of the inevitable.

Thatis where you have trusted them during the years which have been leading to your present discomfiture, and the same class belonging to an opposite party will urge others not to stray away from the fold, but continue to vote thv straight ticket. This etraight ticket' busi- ness is always @ suro refuge for corporation leaders of both parties. You know what in- spires that kind of political patriots, The testimony of Mr. Thuraton, tho theological attorney of the Union Pacilic, and his con- spirators shows that Union Pacific money bired and paid just such straight partisans from bnth political parties to use their power, by wine, cigars, song and story, to inveigle reprosentatives from their pledges and commit tho most infamous betrayals, The preservation of your homes aud the com- fort of your families is above and beyona partisan politics. For years you have an- swered roll call in your party only to ad- vance interests of corporations. For years whe dominant party has ridiculed your de- mands, sneered at your complaints and refused any redress. ORGANIZATION Continue to organize. should be enrolled. Adont a platform which all can approve; be the tail of no party’s kite and then march on to substan- tial victory, which to be of value must be comploto. ' Through the equalizing board corporations have vlundered the people by shirking taxation. And a majority of the cqualization board has been controlied by tho roads and has been only a burden by increasiug yonr taxes. You must se- cure both these boards in the interost. of honesty and the people.. Then a legisla- ture of men, who have been true, men who do not trick themselves into that body by pledges and promises they never mean to keep: barter their honor for money, waste their nights in oil room debauches and the ribaldry of houses of ill-fame. You must be satisfied relief can only come by lezal compulsion through the ballot box. IPor years you have made concessions while the cunning, supple tricksters, who were taking advantago of your devotiou and zeal to principie and party, have persistentl used you to th: benefit of thoss who we just as persistently using the victory you achieved for their- gain and your injury. You can now seo the danger as planly as for years it was pictured. Some of the farm- ors of. this state..strengthened the corpora- tions while they held and strangled the men ‘who were fighting their battles. ‘When will you learn from your enemies? They not only pay 1n money but never de- sert, always protect and serve to tho utmost those who serve them. Then you wonder why 1t is the peoplo cannot rule. In the leg- islature of Nebraska the people are ssldom heard. ln the congress of the United States the people, althougt: electing representatives, have but fow to speak and vote for them, and you wonder.

Although 1ate, the people are now aroused and they must be watehful to avoid mistakes as fatal as those of the past. You will no doubt find good earnest men who believe the heroic treatment now needed can be ob- tained inside the party. We have all been hugeing that delusion for years., The more we thought wo wero juat going to do it, the more the roads overwhelmed. How much longer are we to try that experiment? Wo can't afford to delay. What has the party done for you while you mildly stretched forth your hands for the manacles? Another struggle with the wild beasts at Kphesus will be neither smusement nor protit. It took the taxation of the property of corporations out of your hands and then assessed 1t at less than one-half. ©True it has been a struggle, but the victory year by year has been moro complcte” until your power of resistance today oniy comes from despair. Now to continue the hand to hand struggle with the old enemy, whoso teeth and claws are newly sharpened fora severer struggle. Their wealth and power has cvery year increased, and now to stake the issuc on the old field with the old enomy scems like courting defeat before the battle has corumenced, a case of deliberate suicide. Save vour strength for the contest on the only field whero a victory will be of value, and complete at the ballot box, the ouly place where you can grapple with the foo with prospect'and with certainty of success, where, with a union of all who think alike and suffered alike, you can overwhelm the tax shirkers, tho usurers and transportation plunderers. Can’t you see now where you nave been wronged and deceived by party leaders?! Don't believe any longer thut the hair of the dog will cure the bite, Some will advise in that direction. Can there be any possible advantage to ask you etill longer to rlo with the old adversary, the author of all your wrongs! DON'T ACT BLINDLY At last you know pe rsonally their power. So do I; you have seen them use misguided and mistaken farmers to overthrow those who were toiling for them and who, when wne howling corporation crowd cried crucify hiw, meekly muttered amen. At this jun cure no one should bo mistaken. You have cut the leading striogs. Party brand can a0t hold as party denunciation, can not de- tor you, Pause a moment. Don't rush blindly any moro. Study the question, cach for yourself. Let mo warn in the same manner I have for years. Don’t run away with the notion thut’ I am scoking for o candidate for any oftize. You aro on the pivot of danger; if you fail in this effort you are irretrievably gone. Don't be frightened by the intimation that you are not strong enough Lo succeed and that there is fear the democratic party will succeed. The old cry of *‘wolf, woif.”’ Again comos the monster dogma of corpora- tions. The fiest consideration they urge is for party, which just now should be the last. But you will succeed, 50,000, 40,000 or 30,000 dotermined men, well organized, will tri- umph at _the baliot box if they are earnest, honest and brave. The thousanas of labor- ors scattored throughout the state will fight the battle with you, for it is also their battle. ‘Phio great majority of the democratic party will - fight with you, if party suCcOsS I8 hol uppermost with you and you mean what you Bay, that you are struggliog for home first, Jast and all the time.

Corporations and capital have the nation by the throat.
