It is said that the Nebraska fusiouists
ore planning an oxtousivo raid on tho
natiouul slush fund of their parties
Why this should bo nocossary in tho
faco of thoir oxpressed belief that Mr
Bryan will carry tho state by 20000
majority has not beou explained It is
evident that they are not as confident as
thoy would havo people believe from
outward appearances
Mr Bryan occasionally makes an aa
nult against tho republican taritV in his
speeches indicating that if his party is
placed in power this priuolplo will bo
again assailed by tho free tradora Ho
is hoping that the pooplo have forgotten
tho disastrous experiments along that
lino following tho campaign of 18113 and
recognizes that he may have to fall back
on the tariff for an issue before tho cam

Why shouldnt Attorney General
Smyth clean out tho trusts in his homo
city Omalia before goiug into othor

jure the silver cause somewhat but
what of that Mr Bryan says they are
interested in the enforcement of the
law and not to destroy manufacturing
interests
Idaho democrats nominated a man
for presidential elector who acknowl
edged tho honor by announcing himself
in favor of MoKinley and in harmony
with the repnbliucan platform It
would seem from repeated instances of
this kind that the democrats would do
well to sound the political beliefs of
members of their party before placing
them in nomination It is a habit dem
ocrats have lately of concealing republi
can ideas in their heads to use at a pro
pitious moment
It is announced that an orator is com

tho most iutluoutal journal in Alabama
commenting upon tho rocont claim of
Mr Bryan that the colungo of silver

is a vindication of tho 10 to 1 doctrluo

Iloury Fottor of Grand Island a
and a candidate for of
lice on tho fusiou ticket thinks this
country should havo more militarism
and that ovory young man of 21 yenrs
of ago should bo givou a military train
ing aud compelled to join tho army and
tho country should havo an army of n
million mou This only goes to show
that tho bugaboo about militarism isnt
frightoning Germana as badly a9 tho
fusiouists try to mako out Horo is at
least ono Gonnau who would favor tho
inovoiuoiit providing it was attempted
which ho does not concede There are
many Gormans who are proud of tho
German army and beliovo it is practi
cally invincible because of tho militarism
that produces aud sustains it but oven
theso do not concede that tho United
States is on tho point of ndoptiug mili
tarism It is a scaro of tho fusiouists
without any scaro to it In tho first
place bocauso it is not a probability and
in the second becauso many who know
what militarism is would not opposo it
if it was before tho pooplo
The Omaha Trade Exhibit which is a
non- partisan publication devoted solely
to tho interests of wholosalo and manu
facturing establishments has this to say
on tho trust question aud while Mr
Bryau is gradually dropping the para
mount imperialism question and devot
ing more time to tho trusts It appears
that ho will not much more than get in
terested until tho question settles itsolf
Tho Trade Exhibit says The trust
craze Is undoubtedly on the decline
Not nearly as many combinations are
now being formed as was the case a
yoar ago owing in part no doubt to the
fact that business is not growing as rap
idly as it was a short time ago It ia
probably true however that many of
tho largest trusts have not proved as ad
vantageous as their promoters antici
pated aud for that reason it is more dif
flcult to obtain tho proper financial sup
port At tho same time tho number of
independent companies is ou tho in
crease and it is thought by many people
that tho trusts havo seou their best
days
From all accounts it appears that Mr
Bryan and Mr Smyth the trust
smashers wore uot recoivod at Nebraska
City as conquering heroes whose mission
it was to kill the ootopus that had tho
people of that city In its grasp It
seems rather that the peoplo objected
to their Interference as many of them
receive their bread and butter from the
Argo Starch works The factory em
ploys 250 hands Iu three years It has
paid out 150000 lu wages and paid
801000 for a million and a half bushels
of corn and In one year alone the pre
mium paid abovo tho market prices for
this cereal amounted to 33000 which
weut as additional profit to tho farmers
in the vioinlty of Nebraska City and
removed so much of tho crop from the
market to the benefit of other farmers
of the state It is little wonder that the
people of that city held an Indignatlou
meeting and adopted resolutions which
were signed by a thousand citizens
objecting to the closing of the works
Inasmuch as J Sterliug Morton is inter
ested in the works and as he is a pollt
cal euemy of both Mr Bryan and Mr
Smyth their action has much the appear
ance of being done In a spirit of venge
ance The trust may be a fearf al thing
viewed a long way off but when the
fight is brought home to tho pooplo
there are many ready to defend it

In his Dakota City speech says tho
Sioux City Journal Mr Bryan repeated
his belief that God uover mado a people
incapable of governing themselves
but he did not answer some questions
touching upon that matter which Sen
ator Boveridgo propounded iu his Chi
cngo speech Does Mr Bryan say he
would havo India back under the bestial
tyranny of native rulers as it was before
Euglaud took it Does he say that the
Boors should give tho Transvaal back to
the Zulus from whom they wrested it
Does ho deny that Egypt is better off to

Daniel Webster was one of the lead
ing statesmen of his day and age Yet
he made mistakes That he was an
auti oxpansloulst Is shown by a speech
made iu the United States senate in

his arguments are laughable just as the
arguments of anti expansionists of
today will be laughable 50 years hence
Ho said What do wo wantjwith this
vast and worthless area of savage and

For a consistent man Mr Bryan has a
very queer record In 1800 the burden
of bis song was that the country needed
higher prices for the farmers Prioes
wont up and now his sympathies are
all with tho men who are compelled to
pay the higher prices that he domandod
In 18 He used his best Influence in
getting the Paris treaty ratified now he
Is using his most earnest endeavors to
discredit that instrument He eagerly
sought for military honors in the war
with Spain now he is harping about
the militarism of this government and
seeking to discredit the administration
on every point made In the war In
1800 his sympathies were with the bor
rower who was compelled to pay a high
rate of interest Now ho is condoning
with the capitalist because ho cannot
get better rates and is brought to the
abject necessity of loaning his money to
European countries A person might
go on indefinitely to prove that Mr
Bryan doesnt know what ho wants and
can uover bo satisfied

rulos That no person shall be deprived
of llfo liberty or property without duo
procoss of law that private property

not be violated that neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude shall exist
except as a punishment for crime that
no bill of attainder or ex post facto law
shall bo passed that no law shall be
passed abridging the freedom of speech
or of the press or tho rights of the

tion the government for a redress of
grievances that no law shall be made
respecting tho establishment of religion
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
aud that the free exercise and enjoy
ment of religious profession and wor
ship without discrimination or prefer
ence shall forever be allowed Com
menting on these instructions the Chi
cago Times Herald says Tho change
is like a jump from medievalism to the
best civilization of the twentieth cent
ury aud it is hard to understand how
any sane American can ignore its mean
ing and advocate a course which would
deprive the people of its blessings No
one it would seem could doubt that it
would bring the happiness peace and
prosperity which tho president antlcl
patesaud that these would disappear In
anarchy if Aguinoldo were triumphant
Furthermore tho admirable provision
which is made in the Instructions for
municipal self government and an ad
ministration founded on that of our fed
oration of states disposes effectively of
tho imperialistic scarecrow The Fili
pinos have everything to hope from and
nothing to lose by American rule

Yes sir I voted for Bryan in 1890
and it is true that nothing can induce
me to vote for him again I will tell
you what I think In 1803 I voted for
urovor uieveiana i was naturally a
democrat They told us that the repub
licon party was robbing the people
through the robber tariff I voted as
I said for Cleveland and the formers
were injured by the polioy of the ad
ministration inaugurated by that elec
tion In 1890 when Bryanohanged the
issue and told us that the gold standard
was making bard times I gave the mat
ter careful thought and I believed him
I voted for him I remember bis prom
ises and his prophecies When the
election came on and MoKinley was
elected I prepared to see still harder
rimes Bat in a very short time I saw
that the hard times were at least not
getting harder and when the price of
my farm products began to rise I be
gan to believe that Bryan was mistaken

For tho last two years the prices of farm
products hnvobeeu such that I am fully
couviucod that the policy of the republi

me that I conld not get better prices for
my corn my wheat my oats etc if
we did uot opon the mints Mr Mo
Kinley told mo that I could get better
prices if home consumption would
result from tho opening of the mills to
American labor I believed Mr Bryan
but his prophecy has uterly failed Mr
McKinleys promises and prophecies
have been fulfilled How any farmer
can vote for a return of the times of
1895 and 1890 I cannot see
I was born and reared in Germany
I know what militarism is 0 and when a
democratic politician tolls me that I
must be afraid of militarism I tell you
he is totally ignorant of what militarism
is or he is totally dishonest in attempt
ing to make me believe something which
he cannot believe himself The little
fragment of an army this country has
neither endangers the republic nor can
cause the fine increase in the price of

The line of march of the carriages
from the station to capltol house
square something over a mile nnd a

and tho wide streets were filled almost
the entire distance to such an extent
that In many places it impeded the
passage of the carriages and the
mounted escort
Arriving at the capltol square the
governor was conducted to a review
ing stand on the street aud a grand
procession passed in review occupy
ing more than an hour There were
many unique and amusing features In
this parade One was the number of
women on foot that took part In It
Some of the banners displayed were
amusing and others were significant
A German club passed bearing aloft
a full dinner pall with bread and sau
sage
Another column boro this banner
Eight more years of the full din
ner pall four for McKlnley and then
four for Teddy
After the procession had passed In
review Governor Roosevelt was con
ducted to a speakers stand where he
addressed as many of the crowd
around the stand as his ntvong voice
could reach His remark Were punc
tuated by frequent cheers At the
couclUlqn of h8 gpoch qb bis way
