I have received a democratic paper published in Nebraska The Falls City News which in opposing the election of Congressman Burkett prints an editorial from which I copy this re garding Mr. Burkett: "But he did vote against a pension. The widow of the brave and honored Stotsenburg made application for a pension, believing that the government owed this much to her in return for the life of her husband, who was "killed while battling in the Philip pines. It is charged that Mr. Burkett voted against the bill upon the ground that Colonel Stotsenberg was a demo crat." I really cannot understand how any person can make or publish such a false statement. Last autumn when I was visiting at your house Mr. and Mrs. Burkett called on me and the former then vol unteered to do everything in hia power to secure for me an increase of pension. After congress met ho introduced my bill and bad charge of it until it became a law. No one could have been moro earnest or active In my be half than was Mr. Burkett. After the committee reported in favor of giving me $40 per month, he succeeded in getting the amount raised to $50 per month in the house. The statement that he voted against my bill is utterly untrue. Both my self and my little girls are greatly in debted to Mr. Burkett for his effective but he changed his mind, as great men sometimes do. THE demand for city and state war rants is one of the best signs of the times. When 4 per cent state war rants bring a premium, and when 7 per cent city warrants that run but a short time bring 2 per cent premium, think ing people conclude that money is more plentiful and that times are not to be compared to the gloomy period from which the country emerged shortly after the election of 1896. The organ ization of new savings banks and the seeking of small investments by wage earners indicate that the money power has for the time being relaxed its hold on the country's financial throat and that it is possible to live and enjoy plenty while the country is adminis tered by a wise and capable govern ment. Lincoln Journal. There is one Nebraska farmer who has discovered a logical reason for vot ing the democratic ticket. He had a big crop this year and bad to harvest it without help, for the simple reason that he could hire no one to help him. He complains that while he was work ing like a nailer getting in his crop large crowds of able-bodied men with plenty of money jingling in their pock ets were attending ball games in town. Sioux City Journal. "The goIH standard makes dear money and dear money makes cheap products and cheap men. Prosperity must begin with the workingman and q ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( c Coloncl Cbeodore Roosevelt on finance and expansion, (Extracts from His Letter of Acceptance). To put into practice the principles embodied in the Kan sas City platform would mean grave disaster to the nation, for that platform stands for reaction and disorder; for an up setting of our financial system, which would mean not only great suffering, but the abandonment of the nation's good faith, and for a policy abroad which would imply the dishonor of the flag and an unworthy surrender of our national rights. The policy of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 is a policy fraught with destruction to every home in the land. It moans untold misery to the head of every household, and above all to the women and children of every, home. If we are to prosper, the currency of this" country must te based upon the gold dollar worth 100 cents. The parallel between what Jefferson did with Louisiana and what is now being done in the Philippines is exact. The simple truth is that there is nothing even remotely resembling "imperialism" or "militarism" involved in the present development of that policy of expansion which has been pnrt of the history of A merica from the day when she became a nation. The only certain way of rendering it necessary for our re public to enter on a career of "militarim" would be to aban don the Philippines to their own tribes, and at the same time either to guarantee a stable government among these tribes or to guarantee them against outside interferenee. Properly speaking, the question is now not whether we 6hall expand for we have already expanded but whether we shall contract assistance and I very much regret that he should be so maliciously maligned. Very truly yours, Maky L Stotsenburg . P. S. I should like to write further on this subject because I feel that tt is an unjust aspersion on Mr. Burkett's conduct of ray pension caso but I feel very much exhausted this evening, having just returned from New York, whcre.I wont to consult a specialist in regaid to my health. Trusting that you will correct this false statement, I am very sincerely . - Mary L Stotsenburg. I'KESIDKNT M'KIStEYS TOLICY. (Extracts from Speeches.) The best policy in this world for man or nation is duty. Cultivate good homes, make them pure and sweet, elevate them, and other good things will follow. The geaiusof the nation, its freedom, its wisdom, its humanity, its courage, its justice, favored by divine provi dence, will make It equal to every task and the master of every emergency. Patriotism must be faithful as well as fervent; statesmanship must be wise as well as fearless not the statesman ship which will command the applause of the hrur, but the judgment of pos terity. Can we leave these people, who, by the fortunes of war and our own acta, are Helpless and without government, to chaos and anarchy, after we have destroyed the only government they have had? Having destroyed their government, it is the duty of the American people to provide for them a better one. "If McKlnley and the republican party are successful and put in power for the next four years wages will be decreased, hard times will come upon us, and over the land the price of wheat will go down and the price of gold will go up; mortgages on our homes will be foreclosed by the money lenders; shops and factories will close. We will export no goods and we will import' from foreign lands all the goods we use; thus will ruin, want and misery be with us." Bryan In 1896. Mr. Bryan insists that he would, under no circumstance, accept a sec ond term. If he were president now and doing as well for the nation as President McKInley, the people would certainly insist on his re-considering the matter and again accept the honor. It will be remembered he said he would stay on his front porch this fall. the farmer and work upward. The free coinage of sliver will do this, hence, when wo open the mint wo will start the fact; there is no other way." Rryan. . "I HAVE no lieht or knowledge not common to my countrymen. I do not prophesy. The present is all-absorbing to me. But I cannot bound my vision by the blood-stained trenches around Manila, where every red top, whether from the veins of an Ameri can soldier or a misguided Filipino,' is anguish to my heart, but by the broad range of future years, when that group of islands, under the impulse of the year just past, shall have become the gems and glories of those tropical seas a land of plenty and of increasing possibilities; a people redeemed from indolence and habits, devoted to the arts of peace, in touch with the com merce and trade of all nations, enjoy ing the blessing of freedom, of civil and religious liberty, of education and of homes, and whose children and chil dren's children shall for ages hence bless the American republic because it emancipated and redeemed their fatherland, and set them in the path way of the world's best civilization." McKinley. The attendance in our High school has increased from seventy in 1893 to 204 in 1900. This not only speaks well for the school itself, but it shows that the children of the masses are now taking advantage of the opportunity to get a High school education. A few years ago the sentiment prevailed that it was nonsense for a boy or girl who did not expect to teach or enter some profession to secure a High school education; today the people generally feel that every boy and girl, who can possibly do so, should complete the course of study arranged by the board of education. Tite people of Plattsmouth take pleasure in looking through the Bew opera house as it nears completion. It is to be a model play-bouse, in beauty, convenience and general ar rangement a building in which the city can take pride. Columbus feels very much puffed up. Senator Beveridge of Indiana makes but one speech in Nebraska and that is to be delivered at Colum buB. That town is certainly to be con gratulated, for Beveridge Is a host in himself.

SIX THOUSAND ADDED To the Number of Those Who Are Striking in the An thracite Region. 80JIE MINES ABE STILL AT WORK, While Turbulence Begins to Show It6Qf Prospect of Serious Trou .V-io trie In One District. Philadelphia, Sept. 19. The leader of the strike said at the end of th ewond day that 118,000 of the 11,000 mine workers in the anthraolt coal fields were idle. No representative of the mine operators made a statement for their side of the matter, but In dividual mine owners disputed the strikers' figures, aylng that there are more men at 'work than the union leaders will admit. The first advance In the price of coal as a result of the strike was made by the Philadelphia and Reading Co. yesterday, 25 cents per ton being added. This advance was promptly met by the local dealers, who Increased the price to consumers 50 cents a ton. Tru to its declaration made before the strike was ordered, the Philadelphia and Reading Co. yes terday brought Its mules to the surface In two mines near Shamokln that had been closed by the strike, and an nounced that they were permanently abandoned. Turbulent Prom ply on Hand. A dispatch from llarrisburg says: "Trouble is brewing in the Lykens vaU tey region between the Union and non union anthracite miners over the re fusal of the men at Wllllamstown to join the strike. The mine employes' In the neighboring towns of Lykena and Wiconlsco are on strike, and threaten to compel the Willlamstown men to qelt work. A meeting of the Williams town men was held last night, at which It was decided to stand firm against any attempt on the part of the 6ttiiker9 to force them to Join the strike. Sheriff Relff has sworn in 150 deputies, who will act in conjunction with a double force of watchmen on duty at Wailiamstown colliery. Some of the strikers at Lykens and Wiconlsco threaten to drive out the men at Wlll lamstown before Saturday, and serious trouble may be expected at any time." Concession to 5.000 Coal Digger. Concession was voluntarily granted the 5.000 employes of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company. In the region west of Mauch Chunk, who will here after work ten hours a day with a con sequent increase in earnings. These men were unorganized, and had not presented any grievances. It Is stated that there is not a discontented miner In that locality. The mine work era are organized and "Mother" Jones and two other labor agitators went there last night to bold a miners' meeting. Their reception was so Indifferent, howeveT. that they cancelled their engagement of the hall and left town. Will Not Negotiate with Mitchell. The operators said they had nothing to glv eout last night beyond the fact that they can see no settlement In view aa long as President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, Is In charge of the miners. One oprator said: ,I know It to be a fact that the operators to a man will never consent to treat with Mitchell either through arbitration or any other means." POINTS WHERE THERE IS FRICTION How the Hands at a Waataary Were Par- auaded to Quit ftlosanqua. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 19. Conditions in the Lackawanna district yesterday were practically the same as Monday in the miners' strike. The Columbus washery, which supplies fuel for the electric light, city steam and trolley pints, and which shut down Monday. resumed yesterday by permission of the strike leaders, who did not desire to cripple public utilities, but the strik ers evened things up by Inducing the twenty men at th eadjacent coal com pany's washery to turn. out. This washery was bent on working night and day. Late Monday night the men were stoned from a hill overlooking trie cuim piles ana driven to seek she! ter 1n the engine room, but when the assailants dispersed, operations were resumed. At 9 a. m. yesterday & crowd of more than 100 men and women assem bled near the washery, and by Jeers and threats induced the whole force to quit work and go home. The strikers persuaded! a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western crew to go back to the yard without the train load of coal which they were sent to take out of the switch of the Diamond washery, one of the three Delaware, Lackar awnna and Western places which axe keeping at work. Later the engine and crew returned carrying a squad of defectives and a case of rifles. The strikers had gone away In the interim, and the coal train was taken out with out Incident. A dispatch from Wilkesbarre says, referring to the almost complete shut down in the Wyoming valley: "The only exception, as was the case on Monday, was the colliery of the West End company at Mocanaqua. It worked yesterday again with full force. the committee of United Mine Workers who went to the town being unable to get the men to Join them. President Nichols, of the Third district, took the matter in hand himself last nisrht and said he would go down and see what he could do. The miners held meetlnca i nvarious places yeseterday afternoon and evening. President Nichols came up from Hazelton yesterday afternoon and addressed a large meeting of union and non-union men at Sugar Notch. .Before tne meeting the union and non union men started to quarrel. The non union. men accused the union men of calling inem nara names. There were several knockdowns he fore the fighters could be separated. As a result of an appeal from Nichols nearly all present joined the union. The stoppage of shipments of coal has thrown nearly 1,500 railroad men, mostly brakemen. out of work. The following roads are affected: eCntral Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh Vat ley, Ontario and Western, Delaware. Lackawanna and tVsrrn. noinwura and Hudsony and Pennsylvania. A Word to Mothers.
