GOOD NEWS FROM NEBRASKA.

Encouraging news for Alliance
men comes from all parts of the I'm
ion. In Nebraska the main fight has
been for the privilege of building
elevators on the railroad right of way.
The companies would allow only one
or two to be built at each place which
gave the favored party or parties mo-
nopoly of the grain business. About a
year ago the Farmers Alliance at
Elmwood, Cass county, applied 10 the
Missouri Pacific for permission to
erect an elevator on the company's
right of way at that station. This
the company denied. The Alliance
applied to the state beard of trans
portation for relief. The board heard
tie case and after deciding among
appliance necessary for the shipment
of grain and that the granting of the
right to erect elevators to other par
ties and refusal 10 grant the request
of these complainants wa: :an unjust
other things that an elevator was an
and unreasonable discrimination. or
dered the company to grant the COM
plalnants site for an elevator.
This order the company refused to
obey and httorney-General Leese
applied to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel the COM
pany to obey the orders of the board.
The supreme court has granted the
I writ. The decision is Justly regarded
as an important one, as it settles the
question of the power and jurisdiction
of the board of transportation over
this class of cases. It also settles the
rights of the people to erect elevators
at the company's stations and TO be
accorded equal shipping facilities
with all others. The Alliance is
pushing things and winning on every
hand when it comes to a trial of
strength against the corporations

1t is said there is plenty of money
in the country-as much as there
ever was, but who owns its Why,
the corporations of course. The
wealth created by labor has been alb
sorbed by the banks and loan COM
panies in interest; by the transporta-
ton companies in excessive charges,
in order to pay dividends on watered
stock; by insurance On the lives and
property of the people; in short by
the fellows who never produce dol
lar, but absorb it as a sponge absorbs
water If the government could own
one railroad and operate it in the
interest of the people one year, with
in ten years the government would
own every railroad in the United
States, and this is the ultimatum OF
the transportation question. Every
patron of the reads will then be dealt
with justly and no fayoritism will be
shown. There will be no strikes nor
lockouts, and the whole matter can
be conducted Us smoothly and sys-
tematcally as the postoffice business
is at present.-AIiance Tribune.

How they do in Oregon.

The people Of Oregon, regardless of
former party affiliations, recently as
sembled in convention which repre-
.sented five-sixtts of the voting strength
of the state. The platform of declara-
tions sent ont by this contention will
not permit double interpretations or
campaign manipulation. The first
plank of their platform calls Tor a ma
tional monetary system which shall is
sue the circulat ;ng medium direct to the
people. and make all moneys issued
full legal tender The tariff is de-
nounced. A graduated income tax is
recommended. A change in the govern
ment land system which will restore
uneamed lands to the public domain
and reserve them for actual settlers.
No alien should acquire land in the
United States. Foreigners must
give definite proof Of knowledge
of our Institutions before re-
ceiving the franchise. Good citizen
ship, character shall be the so,e quail
fcatious of the voter. Bal OF reform,
system of arbitration. and eight hours
for day laborers in factories, shops and
miners, are each recommended. Their
attitude toward the liquor traffic is de-
fined as fo-lows: The saloon system is
both a cause and eject of poverty
and is the chief OF instru-
merts by which monopclies cor

A Good Report.

Mr.. G. H. Lebold of Kansas City
who has recently materially identified
his interests with Austin, returned
here last evening from Corpus Christi
He states that the Uric Dredge Manu-.
featuring company of Kansas City sold
to the Port Arkansas company one Of
their dredges. This dredge will &C
into operation next Monday at Port
Arkansas. The company contemplate
purchasing at once two more dredges
so as to hasten the solution of deep
water at Port Arkansas. There is con-
siderable building going on, both in
Corpus Christi and Rockport. The
outlook for deep water ut Arkansas Port
seemed to him quite fattering.
Mr.. Lebold added that on his re-
turn to Austin he was gratified to
learn that some of his friends from
Kansas City would be here in about
ten days, with a view to making
further investments. He will return
to Corpus Christi so as to be there
Monday. From there he will go to
Galveston and thence return to Aus
tin. He is greatly encouraged at the
outlook for this CITY.

And all that's best of joy and light
Beam in her aspect and her eyes,"
The denizen of the chilly north
coming to our shores, broken in health

may find among our hospitable PEG

Our lake, set as gem in the heart of a

MIR. HALLS PLATFORM.

Land Commissioner Hall has
opened his campaign for governor.
His initial speech in extenso can be
found in this mornings issue. 1t is
manly in every word aud sentence.
1t is the speech of thinking man,
who means every word he says. 1t is
also the speech of an earnest, whole
souled Democrat, who has upon his
conscience the present good and Ill
innate usefulness and glory OF his
party. He contends that, as the
Democratic party is SO unquestionably
the dominant party OF the State,
that for that reason its leaders
and every member of the party should
the more keenly feel resting upon
them the responsibility OF the States
best government. At this time he
poinVs out, there are grave questions
to be decided, and there must be no
lodging; the convention in August
must speak the word and every true
Democrat must abide its decision.
That convention must take decided
ground on the railroad question now
much agitating the public mind. Mr..
Halls idea of a possible solution of
the question OF a proper adjustment of
freight charges seems at first blush
reasonable and equitable. The
STATESMAN would like to see it
further ventilated Mr.. Hall
favors commission with only an ex-
ecutive power, simply clothed with the
authority to see that laws are en-
forced. The STATESMAN is especially
pleased with his plan of securing sup
port for the Confederate Home. By it
the State will be sacrificing little If any
thing of present value, but while re-
tanning all her lights for the future
will also be furnishing the Home a
handsome sam of current expense
money. Mr.. Halls suggestion is emf
nently good one.
A special feature of the address was
the stress laid upon the character of
campaign that should be conducted.
Incorporate utterances he means can
accomplish no good purpose, abuse is
not sound argument and personal re-
sentiment should have no place in
deeds of craftsmanship. AS whole,
the speech was a splendid signal gun
and reflects much credit upon its
author.

BATKINs, BREAK.

1t might be we'll for our Kansas
friends, who are always welcome in
Texas, when visiting the State to
leave such disgusting specimens as
Judge Batkins at home. This idiots
harangue at the G. A. r. reunion at
Paris, Tex, wherein he mathematical
the people of that place, uttering
downright falsehoods ON the memory
of dead man, venting coarse oaths
at the memory of Jefferson Davis,
was not only an uncalled for insult to
the ladies and gentlemen in the audi
ence, but to the people OF Texas and
the South. IT was such a speech as
no gentleman should have uttered
in the presence of a people whose hos
pitality he was unworthily enjoying.
II is Just such blatherskites as Bat
kins who are trying to keep up the
old sectional feeling which, happily, is
dying out forever along with the
generation that engendered it. 1t is
most agreeable to note, that, judging
from the card published by the Kan
slams to the people of Paris, the SEN
timents of the rampant Batkins
are not only not shared but
are unspairingly denounced by his
people at home in Kansas.
This card is especially opportune as it
is stated in the dispatches as a possible
reason for the outrageous speech that
it was made to help out Batkins' can
vass for congress. 1t seems the man
has wholly mistaken the temper of his
home people; and fortunately for
them his temper and timber have
been found out before the mistake of
trusting him to represent them in
congress was made. Such men should
be tied up at home and perpetually
kept there, for their own good and that
of their neighbors.

Texas that the word of the Democratic

this reason the will of the people
should be ascertained before the State
convention rather than after it. In
their primaries and county conven-
tons the people should thoroughly

THE Lampasas railroad will bring
Austin seven hours nearer than Waco
to the city of Lampasas. Is not that
consideration that weighs heavily in
the business world? When business
man wants thing done he wants il

a days work. Doesn't Austin want
that much time cut off in a journey to

accomplish it is to buy $4,000 worth
of stock in the connecting railroad.

men at issue, and they should send
up their agents to represent

viduals. To this end the most careful
county organization should be ef-
fected. In this connection the follow
ing suggestion from clear headed
reader of the WEEKLY STATESMAN is
in order. He writes;
~ think The STATESMAN, as well as
all other papers, should urge upon the
chairman of the Democratic party oil
each county to order primary conven'
tons in each precinct to elect dele
gates to the county convention ant
let said delegates be prorated accord
ing to the voting population, say one
delegate for every twenty voters OF
fraction over thirteen, that the people
may have some say for whom they
want to vote. Let these primaries be
called early in order that the people
may have plenty of time to prepare
before the county convention is called
l send this suggestion in view of the
fact that this is election year and there
are some very important issues on
hand in which the people should be
very much interested And if the
people do not have some show in
naming their men in the conventions
of the old parties predict they will
hold their own conventions, put out
their men and elect them. The peo-
pie are sore Of taxation without repre-
sentation. Things are glaring enough
for the one-eyed man to see."
Is he not right about it? Ought not
the people to take more interest in
the welfare of their counties and OF
their State? They should not leave
everything of a political nature in the
hands of professional politicians,
They themselves support the State
and they should run it.. The Demo-
Gratis everywhere should get together
and have their will enforced.
