very large percentage of intelligent
observant citizens believe that the great
corporations actively interest themselves
IN the political affairs of the country, in
the selection of public officers who are to
make, administer or interpret laws, but
for the most part the belief is based upon
suspicion, since absolute proof is difficult
and. as rule impossible to obtain. For
tunatey. however, F. S. &. H. some time
since was placed in possession CT some
documetary evidence, that subsequent in
vestigation proved to be authentic, which
clearly demonstrates suspicion and belief
to be well founded, and It herewith sub
mits it.

the railroad company has regular ac

purpose if not to influence legislation.
This ticket was not issued to members of
the legislature but to a couple of private

The initials ct B." evidently mean that

robbed several times of late, and he was
unable to get any protection from Lieut..

VOLTS little store is within two blocks

one of the gang Of thieves put his hand
in the opening and stole tray OF
watches and ring worth $3.50. This was
more than Jeweler VOLTS profits on hol-
iday trade. He pursued the thieves
down an alley. but gave up the chase
when one of them fiourished revolver
and threatened to shoot.

But I'm not the only one who has

GROUND FOR BELIEF THAT GOV
ALTGELD WILL ASK AN EN-
DORSEMENT
Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 27.-George A.
Schillng, Gov. Altgelds secretary of
the bureau of labor statistics, was before
the Populist central committee today for
purpose, he declared. of securing cooper
alton in the distribution of the forthcom-
ing special edition of his annual report
in which the tax question is quite exten-
sively discussed. There are those, how
ever, who think a scheme is on foot to
secure an endorsement of Governor Alt
geld by the Populists in the next cam
paign, and that Mr. Schilling's presence
before the committee had some connec-
ton with this scheme.
The committee had an all day meeting.
There was much talk and little accom-
plished. The matter of fixing the time
and place for the next state convention
was left 10 the chairman and executive
committee, with the understanding that
it should be held less than two weeks be-
fore the national convention, which has
not yet been called. The basis Of rep
resentation was fixed at three delegates
at large from each county, and one addi-
tion for each 100 votes cast for John Ran
dolph in 1894 This basis, it is said, will
make a convention of 900 delegates.
An address to the people was adopted
in which satisfaction was expressed over
the revival of interest in the Monroe doc
trine and the financial policy of the gov
ernment generally was condemned. Her.
man E. Taubeneck introduced resoiu-
ton. which was adopted. recommending
that the national committee do what it
can to unity and unite with the peoples
party all reform organizations for the
campaign of 1896.
The factional divisions of the party in
Cook county were talked over, but moth
ing was done in the matter.

whereas interest charges foot up on the
average, to probably not less than $175,-

decreasing our foreign indebtedness, we
increased it during the period by proba-

Since 1890, American bankers have, it
seems probable, become the purchasers
of considerable blocks of American secu-

payment has been made by borrowing
abroad. Floating debt has taken the
place of debt represented by securities,
and here is the explanation of the Amer
lean credits to an amount of f35 000,-

NEWS FROM NEBRASKA.
BY THE FREIGHT TRAINS.
Analysis of the Vote In the Last
Election Shows Gains Every
wherc-We Are Right
and Will Succeed.

From the Lincoln Independent: The
Populists of Nebraska must take heart.
The official vote of the state shows that
we have made gains all along the line;
we have polled more votes for the head
of our state ticket than ever before in a
straight fight. We have cast nearly 49,
900 more votes for our candidates for dis
trict judges than in 81. We have added
to our percentage of the total vote; we
have increased our number of county Of
GERS.
ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE.
The official canvass shows the follow
ing result on supreme Judge:
Norval (Rep) 1916; Maxwell, (Pop)
1856: Mahoney gold bug Dem.) 1886;
Phelps (silver Dem.) 1924; Wolfenbar-
ger Pro) 4,344; Norvars plurality over
Maxwell, $3.50. In the three counties Of,
Douglas. Gage and Lancaster, contain
ing the three largest cities of the state,
Omaha, Beatrice and Lincoln, Norval re-
ceived 17,435, Maxwell, 6,S49. Norval's
plurality in the three counties 8.7S6; SO
that outside these three counties Judge
Maxwell carried the state by 1885, Omaha
alone gave Norval about half of his plu-
rality.
Out of the ninety counties of the state
Judge Maxwell carried forty-nine and
Norval forty-one.
The Populist candidate for regents re-
ceived about the same vote as those of
1898
COMPARISON OF VOTE WITH PRE-
VIOUS YEARS.
In making a comparison with former
years, in order to get at the straight Pop
ulist strength, we cannot take the vote of
1891 or 1894, as in both years the head OF
our ticket was practically endorsed by
the Democrats. But taking the other
four elections, since the Peoples party
has been organized in the state, we find
the following results:
In 1890 Powers CPop.) for governor re-
ceived 701S7.
IN 1892 Van Wyck Qop) for governor
received 6S ,617.
In 1898 Holcomb (Pop.) for supreme
judge received 65, ,666.
In 1895 Maxwell Pop) for supreme
judge received 70,566.
From this it will be seen that we cast
the largest vote for the head Of our ticket
this year that we ever did in a straight
three cornered fight.
Taking the result on percentages in
these four years, which is the only way
to test any party's growth or decay, we
find the following results:
In 1890 Powers 70,1S7, out of a total
vote for governor of 214 ,O74; Populist per-
centage Of total vote. nearly 49,
In 1892. Van Wyck 6S,617, total vote for
governor, 1877 ,293; Populist percentage of
total vote, nearly 80.
