and make It a bummer.
Wiui.k we are on the question of pol
iticians talking too much what's the
matter with Lee Ilerdman?
Stick right to the text, Mr. Tegard
eri. Follow tho provlslonsof the reve
nue law, as the people expect you to do.
New Youk has Instructed for Judge
l'arker, and Pennsylvania sends an un
instuctcd delegation, which means the
same.
Senatoh Uuhton, the Kansas scape
grace, Is in Washington, but has de
cided not . to resume his seat till he
lias served out his jail sentence.
The mention of John Sharp Will
iams, democratic leader In congress,
for chairman of tho St. Louis conven
tion, seems to meet with general ap
proval. .Washington, D.C., lsaflllctcd with
a serious scandal in the public schools.
Strenuous efforts have been made to
kill it, but it seems to have as many
lives as a cat.
John D. Hockkkkllku says it is "a
religious duty to get all the money you
can and keep all you can." Senator
Burton of Kansas has pasted this in
his hat. And what of Dcitrich?
At least one hundred republican
congressmen have already left Wash
ington for home to look after their
fences to repair their defences. May
we not hope also to expiate their of
fenses. All democrats should make arrange
ments to attend the primaries in their
various precincts to be held Tuesday,
May 3, at 7:30 p. m., for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the Louisville
convention.
g-
The Venezuelan troubles seem to
have been settled rationally and
economically. Minister Bowcn had
only two or three thousand dollars for
his services, and Hon. Wayne Mc-
Veagu gave his legal cooperation
gratuitously.
Judge Swayne, presented by the
House committee for impeachment,
will not be tried at present, if he ever
is. Republicans claim that the charg
es against him were merely partisan
and malicious, and had no foundation
in Improper conduct. Of course!
Half a dozen "pestilent" labor agi
tators have been driven out of Colo
rado by the authorities. "Major Hill,
in command of the mlhtla at Trini
dad, arrested the persons, placed them
on an cast bound train, and command
ed them never to return again." Mar
tial law may stand such rough usage,
but civil government could not en
dure it.
The presumption that Judge Parker
will be nominated at St. Louis seems
to be worrying the republicans greatly.
If Judge Parker is nominated every
Bryan democrat will support him, and
not only this, but he will beat the nin
compoop "accidental" so badly that
Teddy won't know which one of the
boys he is-"Tcddy, the Rough Rider,"
or Roosevelt, the accidental president.
A ritOMiNENT democrat of this city
was in Weeping "Water one day last
week, and while standing on the street
talking to a leading republican and
former county olllcial, a third one join
ed the party, and he was also a reoubll-
can. As ho stepped up to the two
gentlemen in conversation, he caught
each by the shoulder and brought them
closer to him then remarked: "I have
Just read the decision In the Kuuke-
Tolk case, and I think the allowance
of $2,500 to Polk as an attorney foe is
outrageous, to sav the least. Unrlor
the circumstances he shouldn't have
been allowed a cent." .This remark
met the approval of the other two. and
not only this, but the remark will meet
wnu tne approval of four-fifths of the
voters of Cass county who know the
manner in which l'olk secured the In
terests of the Kentucky heirs In said
estate.

"The City In the Hands of the Dutch."
(U-fi over from lust week.)
Evidently that old Know-nothing
sentiment still lurks in the minds of
numerous republicans, and no doubt
will as long as life lasts.
The republican party is the out
growth, to a great extent, of the old
Know-nothing party, and the older
heads of today can tell how eagerly that
organization sought to "drive all the
Putcli and Irish out of America," and
for all time to come stop foreign emi
gration. During the civil war numerous Her
mans, Irish and natives of other coun
tries went to the front and helped save
the old flag. When the war closed
many of those Hocked to the republican
party and areexpected tosupport who
soever that party may nominate, from
president down to city officers.
Later, the A. P. A., another side
Issue of the republican party, was or
panlzcd, the sole object of which was
to restrict foreign emigration, and It
met the same fate as the Know-nothings.
The democratic party fought these
organizations with all its might and
main to the bitter end; and still many
of these American citizens of for
eign birth continue to vote with its
greatest enemy the republican party.
When the democrats nominated their
city ticket they done so irrespective of
any citizen's nationality, so they were
good men for the different positions,
and it so happened that the majority
of candidates on the ticket were of
German decent, all elected. This call
ed forth from some of the small-fry
republican politicians the slurring re
mark that "the city is now In the hands
of the Dutch."
The democratic party Is the only
party of the people In existence, and
has been sinco the foundation of the
republic, and ever since the writer lias
been able to understand the principles
of the two great parties, it has alway8
been a mystery to us why any foreign
born citizen, or sons of foreign born
citizens, cat) consistently vote against
a party that has so manfully upheld
their rights, at all times and under all
circumstances. The republican party,
could they do so, would banish from
our shores every forego citizen, and
have but little use for them except to
vote its ticket. And the cropping out
of such remarks as "the city is in the
hands of the Dutch," fully demon
strates this fact.
A Reminccrof Civil War Times,
When tht assessor Invades your
premises and asks you Impertinent
questions and takes an Invoice of your
property; and when the county treas
urer appears with a distress warrant,
and later when the sheriff presents
you with a summons, requiring you to
come into court to show cause why
your home should not be sold for taxes,
it will cause you to do a little thinking
for yourself, but you should hot become
angry and revile these officials. They
have taken an oath and given a bond
and they are simply doing an unpleas
ant duty.
The present tax talk reminds the
aged citizen of civil war times, when
Uncle Sam maintained thousands of
soldiers in the field and shot away mil
lions of dollars in a day. Patriotism
caused the people to promptly respond
then, but how shall tho situation be
met now? We have been the dupes of
politicians for years. Because a man
Is a "good fellow" he is elevated to po
sitions of trusts and responsibility he
was never built to occupy, and the re
sult is not to the best interests of the
people. We now hear talk of the inad
equacy of the revenue. JoeBartly was
trying for more rcvenuc-and he got
It, too.
If the members of our legislature,
and state officials, too, would keep
within the provisions of the constltu
Hon there would be no cry of inade
quacy of the revenue. The constitu
tion (Section 1, of Article XII) pro
vides: " The atutc lint;, to mat eaxual de
ficit k or (((7itre in the revenue, contract
dditit never to exceed in the (Kin c O.XE
11 I'M) It EI) TIIOL'SAXi) lt)L
LAItS; and no greater indebtedness
shall be incurred except for the purpose
of repelling Invasion, suppressing in
surrectlon, or defending the state In
war," etc. It Is thus seen that the
state indebtedness is limited to $100
000, and when the legislature or state
officials exceed this sum, It Is fraudu
lent and void. Wo have no Invasions,
Insurrections or war in this state, yet
It Is said the actual Indebtedness of the
state Is over TWO MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS!
When the taxpayers arc called upon
to foot such Illegal obligations, they
should pay It, if at all, under protest,
and then seek relief at the ballot box.
That Is what it Is for.
Nebraska was "redeemed" by our re
publican friends not long since, but it
looks to us as though it needed re
demption of anothersort. The people
have It In their power to stop tills Ille
gal squandering of the peoples' money.
Will they do It? Or will Dletrichlsm
and Standard Oil still prevail?
Now we shall see whether Captain
Cowles, the President's brother-in-law
gets his deserts for running the battle
ship Missouri Into the battleship Illi
nois, to the serious Injury and great
peril of both. A naval board under
Dewey acquits lit in of blame, but tho
Army and Navy Journal Intimates
that "a high authority" requested
that finding. This seems Improbable,
but the Captain's relationship to the
Chief Executive is unfortunate.

Fooling the People.
Since the Fifty-eighth Congress con
vened the secretary of the navy has
awarded contracts for 10,000 tons of ar
mor plate.
The Bethlehem and Carnegie com
panies bid $455 a tun and got a contract
for lO.ooo tons. These two concerns
are acknowledged to be combined. The
Midland company, a new concern, bid
$100 ami was given a contract for 6000
tons.
Congress appropriated $500,000 for
the prosecution of trusts. The secre
tary of the navy awards a government
contract toa trust which involves a loss
of $55o,ooo. The excuse given is that
the Midland could not handle the en
tire order within the time fixed for de
livery. A former Congress authorized the
secretary of the navy to build a Gov
ernment armor plant whenever he had
reason to believe a monopoly was goug
ing the government. But this provis
ion was omitted from the law now In
force.
Thus do we vindicate the majesty of
tho people and bust the trusts. The
attorney-general is allowed $500,000 to
fight the combine. Tho secretary of
tho navy allows a combine $550,000
bonus. The secretary of treasury pays
both bills, and when the three of them
come together they poke one another
in the ribs and chuckle because they
are fooling all of the people all of the
time.
Tainting, decorating and sign writ

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident Is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol
lows: "I was in an awful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite, growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was advised
to use Electric Bitters; to my great
Joy, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they robbed the crave
of another victim." No one should
fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guar
anteed, at F. G. Fricke & Co's drug
store.
Now is the time to take a spring
tonic to purify the blood, cleanse the
liver and kidneys of all impurities.
Ilollister's Rocky Mountain Tea will
do the business. 35 cents. Tea or
tablets. Goring & Co.
