A Tract for Clergymen
BY A HEATHEN.
' It appears to the writer that the people
of the United States, representing what
is commonly supposed to be the highest
state of civilization extant, under a gov
erning constitution whereby the liberty
and freedom and general welfare of all is
intended to be the chief feature, are, as a
whole, not deriving the beneficial effects
which should be the outcome of such a
constitution. Under our social system
it seems not only possible, but is a fact,
that one, while theoretically enjoying
these blessings, may at the same time be
in a state of absolute poverty and misery
and entirely dependent upon others more
fortunate for food or an opportunity to
work (the latter often denied him), being
forced there through conditions over
which he has no control, and through no
fault of his own.
If but an isolated case of this kind
occurred now and then it could be easily
remedied, and would be a matter of small
moment; but it is known that there are
thousands and thousands of just such
cases in the United States, and the
remedy is not so easily applied. Just
think of it; free-born American citizens,
living under the flag of liberty, and un
able to support themselves in one of the
wealthiest countries of the world, where
vast tracts of land lie untitled, and mines
of various kinds remain in a state of
dormancy waiting for labor to develop
and open up their treasures for the bene
fit of the race and these people are
absolutely unable to get work! Our
liberty and freedom and general welfare
is indeed of a peculiar nature. We also
know that over one-half of the people
are unable, by their most earnest and
desperate efforts, to obtain more than
the actual necessities of life, and that
only by the sacrifice of the greater part
of their lives to hard, unremitting toil.
In view of the above facts, does it not
occur to the average mind that these
things are a little out of gear? That life
is hardly worth living to the majority,
and that existence, such as it is, does
not tend towards bringing out man's
nobler traits (consequently a direct loss
to the nation), and that such a life of
toil has the tendency to not only smother
all higher aspirations but to stimulate
and bring into existence these traits
which go a long way toward filling our
poor-houses, jails and asylums.
Are not our preachers, bishops and
ministers a little to blame for this state
of affairs? In their plan to enlighten
man have they not overlooked one very
essontial feature, namely, his material
welfare? They aim to eradicate the
suffering and crime by instilling good
truths into the mind. While this is per
fectly right, still it does not go far
enough, the results of their labors not
being anyways near commensurate with
the amount of effort expended, and it
would therefore appear that something
was radically wrong. Now, as suffering
and crime are the direct results of pov
erty, the abolishment of poverty should
naturally be the first thing to be con
sidered: and this can only be practically
accomplished by looking after his mate
rial condition. In a land of plenty there
is no reason why so many should be poor
and compelled to a long life of labor,
thus unfitting them for the reception of
divine truth or a higher life.
The poverty, suffering and crime in the
United States (or all over the world, for
that matter), is not the result of man's
inherent wickedness, but the natural and
logical outcome of a social system which
promotes that which is worst in man
and stifles that which is best. He is
governed to a large extent by his sur
roundings and the condition in vogue.
This system being man's handiwork,
and found to be not good, will therefore
have to be changed by man; and not un.
till it is changed, for one undtr which it
will not be possible for one person to
to better his condition at the expense of
a less fortunate brother, will the selfish
and evil tendencies of mankind, which
now dominate, be overthrown, and their
place filled by brotherly love and a high
er conception of their duty . one to
another.
We are taught to accept all sufferings
as an affliction from the Almighty, and
that wo are to receive it in a prayerful
and submissive spirit. I would ask if it
seems reasonable or natural for, God to
endow a being with noble qualifications
at birth which only require development
to bring to a high state of perfection,
and then create a system that places
him in a condition where those attributes
are smothered in infancy? If a preacher
contends that a kind and merciful Crea
tor works in that way he has evidently
not gone very deep into the subject; if
he knows better and does not do his
duty by studying into the question and
bringing all his efforts to bear by strik
ing at the root of the matter, then he is
far more guilty than the criminal who
sponds his life in prison, whose bad ten
dencies are in the ascendant and who
knows no better the sin of omission
in this ease being greater and more far
reaching than the sin of commission.
The system is the work of man, and
the responsibility for the misery and
Buffering caused by a bad system is
attributable to the errors of man, and
not to a revengeful God; and our good
ministers should devote their attention
LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1895.
to the correction of a system which is
directly responsible for the euffeiiugs
and ills of God's people, and thus allow
the spiritual nature of man a chance to
develop.
Instead of preaching a doctrine of calm
ful resignation to our afflictions, thereby
leading us to believe that the conditions
under which we . live are of the Lord's
making and therefore unalterable, and
also keeping the mass of the people in
ignorance of the fact that it is to roan's
mistakes they mostly owe their oppres
sion, and not to a divine Being, the
clergy should unite and combine their
efforts in a practical aud overwhelming
crusade against the evils and corrup
tions of a system under which most of
us but eke out a bare existence, and
which is slowly but surely crushing out
all of the best instincts of the human be
ing and filling us with the spirit of the
principle of "every man for himself, etc."
It is the stupendous ignorance of the
masses that keeps them in a state of
slavery to a false economic system and
its evils, and it should be the first duty
of all religious teachers to work to im
prove man's material conditions and
never stop until further improvements
cannot be devised when that time
arrives it will be found that souls will
come to the Lord without much coaxing.
Our ministers of the present day, with
some few exceptions, by ministering to
the spiritual part of man, think they
have done their duty, and that it is not
their fault if their exertions are barren
of good results. As it is, their efforts are
almostentirely wasted. Before the spirit
ual nature of man can be brought into
prominence it is absolutely essential that
his material condition should be sound.
A man's soul does not cause him half the
uneasiness his body does, and if, under
present conditions, to sustain life re
quires a lifetime of attention, rest
assured it is going to receive it and at
the expense of the soul. In other words,
it is natural to suppose, if a man is com
pelled the greater part of his life to de
vote all his energies in the effort to pro
vide himself with enough to eat, that by
the end of that time he will have forgot
ten all about) the demands of his spk-f
ual nature, if the tiny spark has not then
been totally extinguished in the struggle.
The deduction necessary is, that the
efforts of our spiritual advisers are, to
very large extent, nil; and that not until
they devote their energies to the better
ment of mankind's welfare will their
labor of saving souls commence to be re
warded. By a full realization of this idea they
cannot help but see that this business
social system, that oppresses and grinds
down over one-half of the race, is a
wrong and vicious one, and is at the
root of the evil, and that to sweep away
the barriers that keep God's creatures
from developing into the true life of wis
dom and love it will be necessary to tear
it down and replace it by one with the
rock-bottom principle of the welfare of
aU mankind's material condition as the
first and highest consideration. With
such a system established, the good im
pulses inherent in man would leap to the
front as naturally as the flower develops
under favorable conditions of the soil
and sunshine, and bad tendencies would
die and disappear for lack of nourish
ment. Is it worth working for? Twentieth

Things to Think About
Old party ites insist that the Populist
policy drives out capital, or keeps capi
tal from coming in. They insist, also,
that the influx of capital from Europe for
investment is a good thing. We admit
that capital is a good thing; but how
about the capitalist? Has he been a
blessing to the people? Back of capital
is the capitalist. He invests to make.
There is no sentiment in his dealings.
With him business L business and he
doesn't mix philanthropy up with it. He
is after rent, interest, aud profits. He
buys where he can buy the cheapest, and
sells where he can get the most. He
treats the laborer as he does commodities
and procures both where they can be had
the cheapest. The capitalist doesn't cre
ate the capital; laborcreates it; the capi
talist absorbs and enjoys it. A half mil
lion dollars comes into a place aud in
vests. At the end of twenty years there
are from ten to ' twenty-five millions in
the enterprise. All of this was created
by labor. The proprietors live in fine
mansions, and enjoy the fat of the land;
but how about tha laborers. They are
on the ragged edge of want? For their
long years of toil they have little to show
but bent forms, calloused hands, and
gray hair. At every point of the game
margins were clipped from their products
to fill the coffers and increase the ease of
their masters. Rent, interest, profits
have swallowed up their wages. Pau
pers, prostitutes, child labor, adult idle
ness will have increased all the time. We
have the statistics u recital is in, glean
ed from the census reports. It is not
pleasant reading. Capital under our
system eats up labor. Think of it. Thirty
thousand men own halt of all this coun
try's wealth; 4,087 men or families, have
more than four times as much wealth in
tneir possession as 6,599,000 other fami
lies (the tenant class). There are certain
legally constructed grooves in this
country, along which the wealth created
by labor flows into certain reservoirs,
wbioh we call "capitalists." Populists
favor a plan by which those who create
capital will be the capitalists. With the
Populistic principle of "Equal rights to
all and special privileges to none" in
operation, idle non-producing schemers
would no longer be capitalists.
But let us look at the European inves
tor for a moment. He comes into this
country, we will say, with ten million
dollars, and invests it in manufacturing.
According to Geo. K. Holmes, special
census agent, capital invested in manu
facturing in this country, yielded for
1890 a net increase of 26.1 percent. Let
us be conservative and allow the Euro
pean investor only ten per cent. At the
end of ten years the account stands as
follows: He still has his plaut upon
which the wear and tear has been kept
up as a part of the annual expense. His
plant has greatly increased in value
owing to the centering of population
around it, and not from anything he has
done. In the meantime he has taken
out of the country in the shape of profits,
ten million dollars, the original cost of
the plant. Now if it is a good thing for
capital or money to come into the coun
try, and a bad thing to keep it out, then
it must be a bad thing for that ten mV"
liou dollars to go out. But the fellr s
who are afraid that Populist poluy will
keep out aud drive out capital huf 'noth
ing to say against the annual drain in
the shape of interest and profits on the
billions of dollars of foreign investments
in this country. Why is this thus? The
fact is that the capital class, are one, it
matters not whether they livein America
or Europe. They know no country and
no flag, and are a unit in the Btriiggle
for power and pelf. They try to shape
laws in every nation in the interests of
their class. When the robbed and be
deviled rise up and protest, the plutes
engineer divisions and diversions, and
set up scarecrows to keep them from
uniting. It only takes a little to set the
the people to cutting each other's throats
in the interest of the robber class. God
grant their eyes may be propped open
and theircommon sense be in ascendancy
in the struggle that is at hand. New

lOLA, Kan., Sept 25. Colonel W. C.
Jones, tbe noted Democratic leader
and ex-United States marshal of Kan
sas, drove, this morning, to his farm,
about five miles from here, and had
pasd through the gate into a wooded
paure, when the spirited horse he
r'as driving became frightened and
an away, throwing him against a tree
in such a way as to break one leg and
crush the skulL
Physicians were summoned as soon
as possible, but the injured man died
without showing any signs of con
sciousness. A young man who was
with him jumped from the cart and es
caped unhurt.
Colonel Jones came to Kansas City
in 1800, settling in Allen county. When
the war began he enlisted in the Tenth
Kansas regiment and was made cap
tain. Afterward he became major and
in that capacity he served until tbe
close of the war. Later he was made
lieutenant colonel of the Eighteenth
Kansas, a regiment organized to fight
Indians who had invaded Kansas and
were laying waste the country.
April 6, 1883, Colonel Jones was ap
pointed warden of the state peniten
tiary, in which position he continued
until April 1, 1885, when be resigned.
In 188i he was a delegate to the na
tional Democratic convention, which
nominated G rover Cleveland for Presi
dent the first term.
April 5, 1885, President Cleveland
appointed Colonel Jones United States
marshal for the district of Kansas
and he held the office until 1889. In
1890 he was chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee and
managed the campaign of ex-Governor
Charles Robins n. lie was chairman
again in 1892, but that year his party
had no ticket in the field and his
duties were little more than nominal.
In 1892 Colonel Jones was again a
delegate to the national Democratic
convention and voted . for Grover
Cleveland. Upon Mr. Cleveland's re
election he sought again to be United
States marshal, but Senator John Mar
tin favored Dr. S. F. Neeleyforthe
place, and Colonel Jones lost, although
W. C. Perry, who had been United
States attorney, and G. W. Glick, who
had been pension agent during Mr.
Cleveland's first term secured their old
places.
Colonel Jones took this as an affront
and although he mixed with the Dem
ocrats as usual, when he happened to
be in Topeka he seldom visited the
capitol and had almost disappeared
from politics at the time of his death.
Colonel Jones owned a farm near
Iola, and his affairs are in pretty good
condition, if properly managed He
left a widow and three children. His
oldest, a son, he had just placed at the
state university. His second is a
daughter of 14 and his third a boy of
or 10.
; While Colonel Jones was not an
adroit politician he was a successful
one when he sought office for himself
for he had a faculty of bringing strong
influences to bear whenever he want
ed their assistance. He "stood in"
with more powerful men who could
help him, and was successful in com
bining forces "pooling issues," he
ealled it He missed the United States
marshalship In 1894 simply because his
ambition was opposed by a United
States senator. If that influence had
been out of the wav he would have
been successful, although he had a
fight at home.

Mir. Maxwell's Letter of Acceptance
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 12, 1805. Hon,
Samuel Maxwell, Fremont, Nebr. Dear
Sir: It becomes our duty as well as a
great pleasure to inform you of your
nomination by the People's Independent
party in delegate convention assembled
in the oity of Lincoln on the 28th ult., to
the office of judge of the supreme court
of Nebraska, to be voted for on the 5th
day of November next. It is also a
pleasure to usandaflattering testimonial
to your character and fitness for the high
position to state that your nomination
was not only nnanimous but was by
acclamation. By your long services up
on the supreme bench and by your dis
tinguished character as a jurist, as well
as by your unimpeachable private char
acter as a citizen of our state for so
many years, you have endeared yourself
not only to our own people but to a
large majority as we believe of the whole
people of tbe state without regard to
party affiliations; and we, as well as the
people generally, more as patriots than
as partisans, turn to you and ask that
you once more permit your name to be
used in connection with tbe high office
for which you have been named and
which you for so many years filled so
acceptably to the people and with such
distinguished honor to yourself.
We are aware of the fact that you have
not only not Bought thin nomination
but that to accept it will be a great per
sonal sacrifice on your part, out your
hitherto loyalty to the people, and espe
cially to the common people, wan our
only assurance that you would again
listen to their voice and obey their call.
Relying upon this assurance, we shall
await with confidence your reply.

the acceptance.
Fremont, Sept. 23, 1895. J. V.Wolfe
W. A. McKeighan, Silas A. Holcomb, W.
V. Allen, J. N. Campbell, Committee,
Gentlemen: Yourcommunication notify
ing me of my nomination for judge of the
supreme court as a nonpartisan, by the
convention of the People's Independent
party held at Lincoln on the 28th of
August, 1895, was received on the 12th
inst., and has been duly considered.
While I did not seek nor expect the
nomination, yet I am urged by many
members of all parties to accept it in the
spirit in which it is tendered. A nonpar
tisan nomination as I understand it
means that national questions are not
involved in a mere state campaign, but
only questions relating to good govern
ment and affairs of the state, and the
system best calculated to promote the
prosperity and happiness of the people.
As applied to a judge it means one who
will faithfully, fearlessly and impartially
administer the law to all alike without
feeling, bias or prejudice and without re
gard to their political opinions, or his
own.
The supreme court is clothed with the
sole power to try charges of impeach
ment in cases where an officer has been
impeached by the senate, and bouse of
representatives. This is an unusual
power conferred on the court, but was
designed to secure a fair trial free from
partisan influence or bias. These duties,
however, require the court to construe
the law and determine for what offenses
an officer may be found guilty. The
state government is a great business in
stitution in which many persons are em
ployed and many contracts made and
supplies for the various institutions pur
chased. These contracts and purchases
of supplies if not executed in good faith
afford opportunities for the misapplica
tion and misappropriation of publio
funds. The business of the state must
be conducted on business principles and
the same degree of integrity and account
ability required as in a first class private
business establishment, and it seems to
me the court should fix that as the stand
ard. A party should be made to feel
that larceny from the state is as culpable
as if committed against any private in
dividual, and that an officer who com
mits or sanctions the wrong in any of its
forms is unworthy to hold his position.
There is no half-way course possible. I!
the court even indirectly sanctions the
larceny or misappropriation of publie
funds, its influence will be felt in every
department by lowering the standard of
official duty, and as tending to corrupt
legislation as well as the public service,
and in time may affect, even the courts
themselves.
I accept the nomination in the spirit in
which it is tendered and if elected judge I;
