STRENGTH OF THE NEW MOVEMBENT. A dispateh from New York gives an ostimate of the approximate strength of the farmers’ ailiance and the organiza- tions afMiiated with 1t in the political movament of which the alliance the hend, based on information, official and otherwise, from states in which these or- ganizations have the most extensive membership. Tt was not possible to got information from all the officials ad- dressed, some of them distrusting the object of the questions submitted, but enough was learned to enable a very isfactory conclusion - to be formed ns to the vote now represented in the varfous bodies upon which the new movement depends. It appears that the Ocala convention there has been considerablo progress made by the allinnce except in New England. The greatest advanco has been in the south, but increase is reported also in the woest and northwest. In the 10 states of Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi, Iowa, California, Colorado and M land, what are sup- posed to be nearly nccurate ficures of the allinnce membership, place the num- ber at 536,000 In 13 other states, namely, New York, Ponnsylvania, West Virginia, North Carolina, Flori Alabama, Louisiana, Indiana, [linois, Michigan, Tennessee, Arl sus and South Dakota the membership is given at 3,000, The estimate for Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Towa is from 175,000 to 200,000. Adding a reasonabie numbor for states not re- ported, and it will appear that tho strength of the National Farmers’ Al- liance is something over 800,000. The Farmers® Mutual Benefit association, whose membership is chiefly in Ohio, Indiana and Tllinois, has about 150,000 members, and the Patrons of Husbandry about 250,000. The Knights of Labor is in affiliation with the new movement and numbers 500,000, Tho temborship of theso rious organizations would therefore seem to be about two million, and if 20 per cent bo deducted for women and minors, the voting strength is about one million six hundred thousand, or one- eighth of the entire voting population of the country. Of separato consideration is the colored farmers’ alliance, with 800,000 voters. It would be a grave mistake to under- rato tho importance, with reference to the old parties, of this large body of voters if united in a political movement, and it would be most unwise to re- fuse fair and intolligent considera- tion to the complaints and the views of so numerous and valuable abody of citizens. Their protest against existing conditions is unquestionably entitled to respectful attention, and no rensonable demand which thoy make, practicable under our system of govern- ment, should be ignored. There are fow intelligent men who do not admit that some of the complaints of these citizens are valid. The fault with them is not that they complain and protest, or that they organizo for the purpose of giving greater force to their demands for redvess of grievances, but that they propose remedios either wholly impracticuble, hostile to long- established principles, the wis- dom of which has been amply attested, or essentially repugnant to the character and functions of our system of government. Some of the demands of the Ocala platform no party will reject, but the vital part of that declaration, which gives instinetive character to the movement the farmers of the country are nsked to support, no party that hopes to exert a permanent influence in American politics can afford to adopt. The sub-treasury scheme antagonizes overy wise, honest and safe principle in finance and'every consideration of so- curity to nationai and individual credit, and it is entirely safoe to pro- dict that it will never become a policy of this nation while sentiments of honesty and justice and patriotism ave recognized by a mnjority of the American people. And among thoso who hold and sincerely cherish these sentiments are millions of the farm- ers and workingmen of this country, who will continue to be, as they have been in the pust, the bulwark of a sound ourrency and a stable financial system. since n, n- vas THE INDIAN INCIDEN Commissioner Morgan grows very clo- quent in detense of the right of the In- dian boys at Genoa school to earn the same wages as white boys pulling weeds in the sugar beet flelds. He axes wroth at the Norfolk Knights of Labor foc passing resolutions calling them aliens and demanding that they shall not bo placed in the fields to compete with white boys. Not only so, but the able commissioner goes further and talks rather recklossly about shut- ting up the Genoa school and taking the boys to Carlisle, where the Pennsylvania farmers are eager to hive them to work on their farms. All this probably ploases oastern people who know littie but care a great doal about the Indians, but the circumstances do not warrant making a national topic of discussion out of the trivial incident in question. The Norfolk muss meeting was wrong in its action. The 30 Indian boys have a8 much right in the beet sugar fiolds as any other boys. Most of thelr fathers avo citizens of Thurston county in this state, and although of Indian blood the boys are soon likewise to bo oitizens. The small number proposed for the field work could not effect the interests of the whites for they were engaged at the samo pay s the whito boys. The Ox- nards wore wrong in ocanceling the contract, though they had a perfect vight to cancel it if they chose. The superintendent was right in making the contract and right again, under the cie- cumstances, in advising that the boys be kept at Genoa instead of being sent to Grand Island, in view of the hostile at- titude of the people at Norfolk and prob- able opposition of thosont Grand Island. The commissioner is right on genoral priuciplos, but wrong In applying thein in this instance. It would have been better to say nothing than to arouse fur- ther antagonism, Ho is wrong also suggesting that the Ponnsylvania school and Pennsylvania farmers are more will- ing to contribute to the education of the Indians than the Nebraska school and SCHOOL in | Nebraska citizens, He could not closo the school if he would and could not | take the pupils to Carlisle if he wero so i disposed. The people of this state will absorh more Indians than Pennsylvania, and the Genoa school gets more work out of its pupils in proportion to number | than does Carlisle. It is a great mis- | take to suppose that only tho east ap- preciates the problem of Indian civiliza~ tion. The wholo affair is a mere incident. The Norfolk resolutions would have boon passed if the white boys of the reform school had been engaged. The discussion of it is its worst feature. It will pass and be forgotten unless digni- fied by controversy into a question of importa THE NEW LAND COURT JUDGES. The president has announced the ap- pointments of the judges of the new land court, and undoubtedly they will be satisfactory to the people of the sections most concerned in the judicial business for which the court was created. The west and the south are honored in tho appointments, tho former section getting the three ropublican members of the court and the latter the two democrats, tho president having wisely decided that o minovity of the judges should bo of the opposition party. [x- Congressman Joseph R. Reed of lowa will be chief justice of the court. Judge Reed was a member of the last congress and has had judieial experience on the district and supreme benches of Towa, covering a peviod of 17 years. The other members of the new court are Wilbur F. Stone of Colorado, who occu- pies high rank in that state as a lawyer, Henry C. uss of Kansas, Thomas C. Fuller of North Carolina, and William Murray of Tennessee. The attorney for the court is Matthew G. Reynolds of Missouri. The new court, which will be an important addition to the federal judicial system, is required to bo organ- izod during the present month. Its function will be to adjudicate all issues arising from land claims and titles. THE WARD ASSESSMENT. The Fifth ward protest deserves more than a passing mention. A ruling of the county commissioners which enables a corooration to escape paying its proper pro rata of taxes is wrong in principic and ought to be wrong in law. 1E BEE belioves there is no authority for the resolution divecting that the personal property of corporations of overy character shall be assessed in the precinets or wards in which their principal offices are located. There is somo reason for taking this ground in the cases of corporations with property extending along or under the streete from ono ward to another on ac- count of the difficulty of making ward assossments. Whero the property to be assessed is definitely located and wholly within the boundary of a given ward no man is so competent to determine its taxable value as tho assessor of that ward. A case in point illustrating the trath of this is cited by the Fifth ward committeo, Property wholly in that ward was last year valued by the local assessor at some- thing more than $3,000. Under the commissioners’ order the same proper with a year’s accrotions is -assessed at the principal office by the assessor of another ward at $700. The basis of the county attorney’s opinion, upon which the commissioners’ action s grounded, {is section 8, chapter 77, of the revised statutes 1889, page 6751 “‘Personal proporty ex- cept such as is required in this chapter to bo listed and assessed otherwiso shall bo listed and assessed’ in the county, precinct, township,- city or vil- lago where the owner resides. The cap- 1tal stock and franchises of corporations and persons, except as may be otherwise provided, shall be listed and taxed in the county, precinct, township, city or village where the principal office or place of business of such corporation or person is located in this state.” The law specifically provides for the assess- ment of horses, stages, and other per- sonal property of stage and express com- panies where that property is kept. It aiso when per- sonal proporty is assossable in soveral school districts, to assess the amount in each separately. It, how- over, authorizes tho county hoard to fix the place for listing and assessing where Questions as to the proper placo to list personal property arise. 1t is not clear, however, that the per- sonal property of ordinary corporations, which are merely partnerships, should give rise to any doubt as to the proper place of assessment. It appears that precedent favors the assessment of this property in the ward where it is located, and that the present year witnesses the departure from that precedent, The question is important enough for a judi- cial decision, and it is hoped the Fifth ward people will take their case to the district cour requives assessors THE board of education is not responsi- ble for the changes made in the plans of the city hall building. Their original contribution of $25,000 toward its con- struction was made in good faith with the reasonable expectation that quarters would bo provided within two years from the date of the agreement. It is now five years sinco the money was paid over to the city. During that time the board” has been obliged to pay something near $5,000 in ront. Interest on the $25,000 at 6 por cent simple interest amounts to #7,500. The board has a written agree- ment for one-eighth of the floor space of the building and an equitable right to its fulfilment, notwithstanding the city hall will cost more than was originally proposed. The board should insist upon its rights. THE park commission in its discussions regarding a system of city parks must not forget that these public breathing spaces should be within reach of the poor us well as the rich.

The council should absolutely refuse to order the erection of a single additional clec- tric light unless the electric light com- pany reduces its annual rental. Lincoln pays $120, Omaha $175 per year for an are light said to be of 2,000 candle pow- er. The Denver authorities have re- cently voted not to add a singlo arc light unless the vate in that city is reduced to $120 per annum per light. Omaha should refuse to be robbea. THIRTY-FOUR useless hydrants, on each of which the eity has been paying an annual rental of $60, were found by the council committee. Eighteen of those ordered taken up and located where they are needed. others, also, should be placed where they will be of service. A little atten- tion to leaks of this character in the public treasury in conneetion with other franchised corporations may reveal other opportunities to save money. As has before been remarked $1,000 is agood round sum to pay out of the county treasury merely to placate Isanc Hascall. Tt is éspecially good and round when taken in connection with the fact that the lots which the gentleman agreed to buy on which the old poor house now stands have never been con- veyed to him for the very good and suf- ficient reason that he never paid for them, re- Tho were THE great bridge controversy between the Union Pacific and Rock Island rail- vays will be heard in the United States court tho remainder of this week.

Liscory, Neb,, June 10.—[Speeial to Tun Bue.]—Just a yoar ago today George W, Hubbie was granted a_divorce from his wife, Lucinda, Yesterday, however, tho rejected wife brought action in tho district court to havo tho divorco annulled. Sho alleged that whon her husband, George, first bogan suit against her in her right namo sho filed o reply. Later he commenced another suit against hor giving her o false name. Of course she did not reply to this as she id not Kknow that she was tho defendant. Under this second application Hubble secured a divorco. Lucinda did not know of it as tho servico was obtained by publication although her husband knew that she was living at Clarinda, I, Tt appears from othor testimony adduced that Hubbell’s courtship was thriliing rather than romantic as he was forced to marry hor vy a loaded revolver pointed in his faco by a relative of the girl. After hoaring all tho testimony his honor decided to rovoko tho divorco and make the two man and wife as bofore, It is not known exactly whero Hubblo is, but it 18 roported that ho has remarried and is somowhern in tho far wost. ‘This, if true, will place his latest bride in rather 'an em- barrassing position.

Nols Nelson, a young Swede, was found dead in bed this morning at the boarding houso kept by his sister at the northeast corner of Eighth and R streets. Nelson has been at work in Omaba for some time, but becoming ill about two weeks ago he came to Lincoln in order to get better nursing. While here ho contracted la grippe, which hastencd his end. Last night ho was apparently in his usual health, although very wen No one remained with him, and this morning when his sister went to his room fo find out how he was she found him coid in death, It is thought probable that he died during the great electrical storm of last night. A FLOOD. About 3 o'clock this morning Lincoln and vicinity were visited by one of the most dam- aging rains that has ever visited this section. The damage was confined mainly to the con- tents of cellars. The sidewallc near the M- Brido block at Twelfth and I was under- wnined and $1,000 worth of flour and baking paraphernaliaruined. Wohlenburg, the to- bacconist on South Eieventh, is _the loser of 2200 worth of material. Otto_Glaser, Elev- enthand N, is_ $500 poorer. M. Ackerman, millinor, Twelfth and O, estimates his loss at $100. W. H.Cock & Co., South Eleventh street, had 2,000 pigeons drowned. A. Bloch losos $00. The barber shop in the basement of the Alexauder block is ruined. Zehrung & Dunu, druggists, lose $1,000. The records of tho Postal telograph' company for the past thirty days wero desuroyed. A. Bruise's store on Fourth and fiv: was flooded. S. Polwosky, on Twelfth south of O, had several thousaad doliars worth of goods water soaked. All day long Salt_ Creele has been rising and after 7 o'clock this evening 1t was up to the floors of some of the cottages on the bot- toms. Tho new sewer on B street burst between Niath and Lenth streets. as the fifteen inch tile into which it empties, could not stand the excess of water. ~ All the cellars in that viciuity were flooded. THE MAYOR'S TOLICY. Mayor Weir has decided not to continue the customary fine of the women who are conducting or are inmates of nhouses of prostitution, but iutends to givo ench frail fomalo the full lim of the law. This course has naturally created con- siderable comment. The mayor says ho is determined to drivo the prostitutes out of the city. “The mayor also proposes to abolish all tho pool rooms. He has given Chief Dinges iu- structions to aerest everyone found running such places. COMMENCEMENT AT WESLEVAN.
