Nebraska is all Torn Up.

\ Lincoln, Neb., dispatch to the Chi
>caro Times says that political Crisis IS
at hand in Nebraska. The Farmers
Alliance and Knights of Labor, goaded
to desperation by the adverse conditions
surrounding them, have determined TO
put an independent ticket IN the helo
this fall. TO this end they viii hold an
independent convention in Lincoln July
%, with $50 delegates and no proxies;
The Republicans are very much alarmed
over the outlook, and they have reason
TO be. for a change of 5000 votes will
elect the peoples ticket, and there are
10000 members of the Alliance IN Ne
braska. the majority of whom are Ke-
publicans. -,
The present situation is the direct re-
suit Of low prices in farm products,
which have been brought about by over
production, excessive protective duties
high freight rates, and the various COM
bines that have been manipulating farm
products and live stock. THESE lnllu-
ences have bred discomfort among me
farmers, stock raisers, and lndustrla
classes.
To the above influences may be added
the discomfort that grew out OF the &C
ton of the Republican State Conyen-
ton of 1889. The people were thorough
ly satisfied with Judge NJ. B. Reese as a
member of the supreme court and We're
clamorning for his nomination. Inc
clique of Republicans who manipulated
politics in Nebraska were dissatisfied
with Reese and determined to give him
a setback. They were rot particularly
interested in who the successor might be,
but they had declared vengeance on
Reese. They were successful, but not
until they had bought up by various
means the proxies of about $50 dele
gates. Such action raised howl all over
the State, and II las been growing.

CAPTAIN TlLLMAN TALKS TO a

He Thinks He Has Won the Race, and
Says There VIII Be General Shaking
Up of Dry Bones When He Goes Into
Office.
CHARLELToN, S. c., July D.-While
in this city last week Captain Tillman
was interviewed by representative Of
the Philadelphia Press, to whom he
said
NO, don't believe they will assassi-
nate me, but would like to know what
they mean when they say I shall never
be Governor of South Carolina. They
are desperate, and they want to scare
me out of the race for Governor. L
have smashed ring rule IN South caro-
lima, and I have already won the light.
There are only two courses open to the
old ring. They must either aSsasslnate
me or appeal to the negro vote. l don't
think they will assassinate me, and
God have mercy on them 1t they appeal
to the negro to settle a family light be-
tween whites. We will not have any
negro rule. Any man who comes into
Edgefield to appeal to the negro WILL 90
so at the peril of his life. They are sore
now, but they will swallow Tilman
| before they 60 to the negro.
1T will be bitter pill, but they vii!
| take it. l am just as good as elected
Governor, and when I am Governor I
will shake up the dry bones in old
South Carolina. My fight was for the
common people of the State. They
have never been allowed a voice in the
government, and I have secured it now.
[ Hereafter candidates will have to face
| the people, and not small packed con-
vention of aristocrats, who pay no
taxes and live ID the past.
"For the first time IN her history
South Carolina is about to get a repub-
lican form of Government. We are go
ing to have new constitution and q
new government in which mossbacks
will be conspicuous Tor their absence:

useless officers and reducing salaries.
Hereafter we will have no kid glove
dudes around the State House at fancy
salaries, but men who will do full

will not have any official class

REFUSED TO SELL TO NEGROES.
He was a Negro Himself, but Discrimina-
ted Against his Race.


BALTIMORE, Md, July 29.-Secretary
Window has issued an order 20 Post
master johnson to remove George
Hughes, a colored man who for twenty
wears has had a stand on the post Office
pavement, where he sold lemonade and
egg flip in summer and other seaSonable
articles in winter, if the charges made
against him are true. y complaint was
recently lodged against Hughes by
colored men charging that in the con-
duct of his business he Disseminated
against them. Hughes had a very large
patronage, members of the corn and
flour and the various other exchanges
going there. When colored man
asked for a "fip" or a shake" Hughes
generally happened to be out of sugar
or lemon or milk. He was quite diplo-
matte and discrimination was not
noticed until this week, when a large
number of laborers were employed in
the vicinity digging. Then the colored
men became indignant at the refusal to
serve them while the white laborers
could get all the refreshments they
wanted.

3. R. Tillnan the farmers pride,
Is tall aad somewhat Slim;
And though ne has but one goou eye
Spots trIckstets with q Vim.
He biazes out the farmers route,
And shows him how to win;
BY ouSting those who holds the relNs,
And putting others in.
The farmer has been wrongeG and robbed,
And kept quite in the dark:
And now when Tillnan says, awake
The wolves begin to bark.
He pays all debts OF civil strife.
And makes the ocean white With sall'
But when he asks to look within,
It creates an awful wall.
But the Tillmanites are in the tight,
With leader brave and bold;
Who has sworn that those who follow hili'
Shall no more feel the cold.
Then onward roll in Tllman;s wake,
Let rings and devils hoot;
But we will elect him Governor,
With solid house to boot.
The tillers of the soil,
TIE back bone Of the nation;
viii sustain their well tried friend,
In spite OF all crealloh.
The ballot box in the farmers hand,
Makes tyrants dread the day;
For them through the ballot,
To give the farmers sway.
Then let the Tillman voter,
With the ballot in his hand;
Sustain this fearless leader,
Throughout Carolina's land.
He is denounced as demogogue,
Who will split the party wide;
But we intend to run him:
From mountain top to tide.
TilIman has the inside track,
The farmers on his side;
And into the gubernatorial chair,
He's bound to take a slide.
Then stand from underlet her roll,
The farmers rule the day;
This party splitting demagogue,
Isbound to have his sway.

is THE CHARGE TRUE
The Republicans Trying to Dodge an
Investigation.

1uSeSIiSaIAoA'
WASHINGTON, J uly 29.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, offered
for reference to the committee on rules
the following preamble and resolution:
Whereas, in the National Economist
of July 26, 1890, a newspaper publica-
ton known as the official organ OF the
National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, and which has wide
circulation, the following editorial ap-
pears on page 305, to wit:
Bond owners are now happy; they
have won the fight, and the bonds they
now hold are payable, principal, inter
est and premium, in gold only. 1t
would be interesting to know how
many millions it took to force this bill
through Congress. Men in these days
of corruption and trickery do not
change their avowed beliefs and betray
their constituencies without conSidera-
tion. 1t will now be in order to pla-
cate those whom they have so wicked
ly betrayed"
And whereas, said editorial charges
that the measure has been passed
through Congress by bribery and cor
ruption of its members, the integrity
of the House and the rights OF the
people alike demand that the truth or
falsehood of the charge shall be made
known and dealt with as it deserves !:
Therefore
Resolved, That a committee COM
posed of seven members of this House
be appointed to Investigate said charge,
and that said committee shall have
power to send for persons and papers,
administer oaths, may employ 4 clerk
and stenographer if necessary, may sit
during the sessions of the House, and
report to the House by resolutions or
otherwise.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, objected to
it's reference or present consideration,
and the Speaker suggested that it
might be referred through the clerks
office under the rules.
Mr.. Oates declined to accede to this
suggestion, stating he would call it up
at the earliest practicable moment as
nriyileped matter.

A Bluff Bored for Honey.

\ Louisville dispatch says: "a sue
cessful boring Tor honey has been MADE
in North Tennessee. For many years
swarms of bees have been noticed by
boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cumber.
land river, near Franklin, KY. The blutt
is ITO feet high, and the rivers channei
runs directly under it. The bees have
been observed about a big tissure near
the center of the blnff, and the opening
could not be reached from above or be-
low without great danger Of being stung
to death. rs the bees had never been
robbed it was believed large amount OF
honey is stored in the cliff. Recently
wellborer, named Starls, visited the plutf
and was at once impressed with the idea
that he could reach the wonderful honey
storehouse with his drill. After some
coaxing he persuaded a number OF TAR
mers to undergo the expense, and three
inch hole was bored from the top of the
bluff. At a depth of eightv-five feet the
drill struck the honey. Barrels and TUBS
by the score were filled and carried OIL
to neighboring farms, and the syndicate
has sent to Louisville for more re-
ceptacleS.'

The article Of chinaWare, he went on
to say, was to be found on the tables OF

to pay. The man on his farm used as
much china as Vanderbilt in his pal

that the cohorts of protection were so

A Rough Experience.

Capt. W. H. Hazel on the sloop A.
E. Draper, had a rough experience
Thursday night in the Delaware. He
was on the way down the river heavily
ladened with phosphate material for
this locality. The water was too low
at the mouth of Smyrna river as well
as the wind too high to undertake to
enter, so he had to anchor ont in the
bay. The slOOp was loaded nearly to
the waters edge, thus enabling the
spray from every wave to break over
the deck, the low temperature-the
thermometer falling to about 1Oo-
causing it to CONCEAL before the morn
ing, several inches thick. The only
thing for the crew to do was to nail the
hatches down and retire below. When
the wind and tide suited on FRIDAY
morning they entered the creek, the
mass Of ice weighing the deck below
the water. When they reached a shell
tered spot they stopped to get the aid
of the sun in freeing the vessel of the
heavy load of ice, after which they
proceeded without further interrup-
tiOn to the landing. Capt. Hazel
sailed the A. f. Draper all the winter
without any interference from cold
weather, until spring had come.
