Joe Parker's Louisville Free Republic
can do more stinging than a hornet.
The legislature ought to make it a
panal offense to desecrate the flag in the
way it was done last fall.
There can never be any health in the
body poiitio while 4,000 malignant can
cere, in the form of national banks of

Senator Peffer nay: "If the rich are
to rule let them pay the taxes." The
trouble about that in, that as long
as the rich rule tbey never will pay their
taxes.
There is not ventilationenough around
the state house to remove the odor of
that maximum rate case stipulation.
The more it is ventilated, the worse it
smells.
The Missouri World don't seem so anx
ious to "reorganize" the peoples party,
as it was in the days of its wrath, It
will soon bo all right and in the road
uain.
We bops the legislature will pass a
bill prohibiting the sale of those vile
tinkers called cigarettes. We promised
a fair lady to write an editorial on the
subject and there it is.
The "business man's government" is
shipping stone 1,800 miles to build a
house in ' the center of the rock ribbed
mountains of Colorado. There is noth
ing like a business man's government
sure enough. r
The New York World says that in the
next house there will be 204 straight re
publicans, 124 democrats and 27 popu
lists. The great "republican land slide"
which has just occurred cut down the re
publican majority in the house exactly
40. r
In the present house of representatives
there are 244 straight republicans, 105
democrats, 6 popnlit and one silver
party congressman. In the next house
then will be 204 straight republicans,
124 democrats, ,12 populists and 15
tusionists. '
Railroad earnings for the first week in
December show a decrease of $65,000 on
the Missouri Pacific 18,500 on the St.
Louis and Southwestern, and $14,000
on the Chesapeake and Ohio. What is
the matter with that Advance Agent?
Will he have "confidence" enough in -11
to tell?
The republicans created the position
of political boss in this country and
made the office a very lucrative one.
Now they have gone a step farther, ere
ated the office of boss of political bosses
and installed Mark Hanna in the place.
To him, hereafter, all the other bosses
will go for orders.
Congressman Boatner has introduced
a bill to increase the salary of Congress
men 12.500 a year. Boatner's head is
level. He knows the people like to be
robbed or they wouldn't send so many
thieves to congress. That's what Joe
Parker says, and Joe lives down in that
part of the country. ' ;
The assessors returns from thecoun ties
of Kansas show that there was raised iu

last year of 180,800 acres, un increase
of over 100 per cent. Kafir corn in Kan

crop than the ordinary corn.
, The dear, good people who honestly
believe that the referendum is all that
we need to overthrow plutocracy and
bring prosperity, should reflect that we
just had a "referendum" and it didn't
do it. A great addition to the unbought
and unbuyable populist press will have
. to be made before any law can be intel
ligently voted on by the people.
It begins to look as if the assurances
recently given by friends of State Treas-
' urer Bartly that he would be ready to
. count out the cash on retiring were not
based on fact. He has indicated his in
tention' to simply point to the banks
where he placed it, and let his successor
scramble for It; Is there no Jaw that
will reach art tiring treasurer who does
not count out the cash? One of .the
promisee of the fusion campaign was
that the retiring treasurer should' be
retired to do it. The people endorsed
ti t ropecition. Who will undertake
to i?rt tVit promise? , .
SAVE THE WHECK.
There is no more pleasing writer of
clear cut, elegant English In Nebraska
than Editor Wells of the Central City
Democrat When he writes abont pleas
ing nothings, be can do it in a most
charming way, but when be strikes a
serious or important subject there is a
ring to bis sentences, that is delightful.
Here is what he has to say of the fix in
to which the preservers of credit and de
fenders of honor have got the stae of
Nebraska:
"The new administration has a great
work before it. . It will have to w
what it can from the wreck and take a
new start. The prospect ahead of them
is dark and calamitous a bankrupt
treasury, funds scattered in wildcat
banks, the school fund the Lord knows
where, and a deficiency of nearly a mil
lion and a half. There must be a radi
cal change in our whole system of finan
cial management. Why should the
treasurer have a single dollur to loan
out when there are unpaid warrants
stnnding against that fund? Are we
going to allow bankers to have our state
money and hold it forever? Let all the
facts come out, regardless of couse
quences. Let us see what banks .have
the money and what banks refuse to
pay. Let us find the school and uni
versity fund and invest it according to
law. There will be lively times in Lin
coln in January, and God alone in the
infinitude of His wisdom knows where
and how we are coming out."
ANYTHING BUT REPUBLICANISM.
Republican papers are intimating that
Senator Allen, in his speech before the
senate last Saturday, showed strong in
dications of being anything else but a
populist and of leaning toward republi
canism. The republicans are entitled to
all the consolation obtainable out of
that speech. If the senator were in the
least tainted with republicanism, be
would never have made it. That speeech
was made to refute republican slander of
Nebraska, which had been uttered by
republicans here and elsewhere with the
deliberate intention of shaking the faith
of the cowardly eastern capitalist and
destroying Nebraska's credit. If this
could only have been accomplished by
the republicans under a fusion adminis
tration, the republicans would have been
supremely happy. That speech was in
tended to hold up the hands of the Ne
braska administration in an endeavor
to restore prosperity in the state. There
is not a sentence nor syllable in it that
smacks of republicanism, and in all his
tory no republican senator has ever said
or doue so much jr Nebraska. Possibly
no republican ever had occasion to say
as much, for in all the history of Ne
braska there has never before been a
time when a great political party was
trying to ruin the state's credit, as the
republican party has tried to do ever
since the recent election.
STATE FAIR FINANCES.
Now comes the state fair managers
with the pertinent suggestion that there
Bhould be a bigger appropriation for the
state fair. The suggestion cannot be
made seriously. There is a well defined
conviction extant among the people that
the state fair ought to lay up a penny
or so every year. Some way or otherthe
patronage seems to increase every year,
while the show remains about the same
old thing. It don't make much difference
whether the attendance is large or
small, the associatiou'always comes out
just a little in debt. There is a sus
picion that if next year the attendance
were to be double what it has ever
before been, there would be the same de
ficit when the accounts were all made up.
The men who hang around this an
nual exhibition apparently know how to
temper the wind to the shorn lamb, so
that there need never be any stuffed and
congested exchequer.
Possibly if a measure were enacted
providing that the salaries or compensa
tion of the men who run the state fair be
made contingent upon the fair paying
expenses, the annual deficit would dis
appear. And why should not the com
peusation of these stntc fair barnacles
be made contingent upon the profits?
ThecompeuHiition of exhibitors is more
or less so, and there is no more reason
why the officers of the fair and their
hangers-on should be paid in full every
year that there is that exhibitors should
.be paid in full, nor so much. The pre
ference in such a contingency would ap
pear to be with the exhibitor.
Another thing that suggests itself to
Lincoln people is,that the Omaha people
who were so full of promises in order to
get the fair away from Lincoln should
be made to fulfill those promises or lose
the fair. Lincoln people had to make
promises to get the fair in former years,
and there was never a time when every
promise was not more that fulfilled. If
Omaha people, as alleged, owe the state
agricultural society anything, they
ought to be made to pay it before
another fair is held under that five year
contract. "
Meantime the suggestion of an ad
ditional appropriation by the state is
decidedly cheeky.
. ..5 THE SPANISH TROCHA.
Each national crisis seems to bring
into the current, vocabulary of the civil
ized world some new term that is char
acteristic of the nation and the crisis.
The world has been reading for months
about General Weyler'i "trocha" across
the island of. Cuba. The English dic
tionaries do not define the word, none of
the correspondents appear to have
described it and the reading public has
been perplexed by speculations as to
what this engine of warfare from which
the Spaniards expected so much might
comprise. ; , ,
When General Weyler succeeded Gen
eral Campos in command of the Spanish
forces in Cuba to prosecute a more vigor
ous campaign than bad ever been carried
on by his predecessor, his first formidable
move was the establishment of the
trocba. This is nothing more than a
military line thrown across the island
from Havana on the north to a point on
the southern coast, dividing the island
into two military divisions. This line for
the most part consists of a barbed wire
fence three feet six inches high, along which
are strung at short intervals the sentinel
huts of theSpanish soldiers. About forty
vards back of this line is a trench three
feet wide and four feetdeep with abreast-
work of palmetto logs, and fifty yards
further back are houses of logs or wood.
in wuieh troops are quartered. A wall
of earth and stone n some places runs
from point to point of the line, and along
this wall are trees which may be ascend'
ed by winding staircases, thus affording
an extensive outlook. The trocha itself,
as described by a correspondent who
passed over it by permission of General
Weyler, "stands as a monument to the
patience and devotion of the Spanish
troops, who have toiled uncomplainingly
iu the heat of a torrid sun, whose ter
rors to be appreciated must be felt."
To guard this line 15,000 , Spanish
troops have been kept stationed. This
would afford a sentinel crew of about
200 soldiers to the mile. General Maceo,
who occupied the western end of the
island, had about 11,000 poorly armed
troops at his disposal, while General
Gomez had about 6,000 men east of the
trocha.
Although the Cuban generals had
barely more troops at their disposal
than the Spanish commanders had em
ployed in guarding the trocba, and al
though many of the Cuban troops were
poorly armed, the Spanish have been
kept on the defensive by the courageous,
gallant, desperate men who are fighting
for their homes, their families and their
liberty. According to Spanish journals
General Weyler has had in his command
over 200,000 well 1 armed, well trained
soldiers sent from Spain, in addition to
thousands who volunteered in Cuba.
In spite of the disparity in number and
equipment the Cubans have always
presented a bold and effective policy
They are proficient in guerrilla warfare,
and have relied upon it as a means of
harrassing the Spanish hordes. The
climate has aided them, the ranks of the
Spanish soldiery being continuously
thinned by smallpox and yellow fever,
During all this time Maceo has crossed
the trocha at will, and Gomez, with his
badly armed rabble of 6,000 men, with
out war material of any sort, has
marched at will throrgh section in
which are stationed 100,000 Spanish
troops. . - ' ; - .
in tne lace 01 these fucts the ninny
cruelties practised by the Spnnish, the
murders of men, women and children
and the thousands of inhumanities re
ported too fully attest the cowardly
savagery of the Spanish nature, and
lead to the conviction that American
soldiery would have nothing to fear from
Spanish troops unless it were a contest
of speed.
The intimation by the supreme court
that the beet sugar bounty act passed
by the late republican legislature created
a liability against the state which that
accommodating body of republican cor
poration servers failed t6 provide for
meeting simply means that the coming
session will be importuned to load down
its record with something like $150,000
appropriations to pay debts contracted
by the republicans, or else repudiate.
Under ordinary circumstances one would
have supposed that a law providing for
a public expenditure would be absolutely
void if it did not provide means of mak
ing the expenditure, and would therefore
create no obligation against the state.
The manufacturers of beet sugar knew
that no appropriation had been made
to meet the bounty payments authorized
by the legislature, and knew therefore
that there was a grave question as to
the ability of the state to pay any
claims they might present for sugar
bounty, but they chose to ignore the de
fects in the bounty provisions and go
ahead with the manufacture of sugar,
taking 'their chance of worming their
bounty claims out of the people some
how or other. They seemed to know
that state officials would strain a point
to pay that bounty if possible, and that
the supreme court would do the very
best it could under the circumstances.
The best it could do appears to have
been to intimate that in passing this
measure the legislature incurred an obli
gation on the part of the state, which of
course leads to the inference that the
state ought to provide means for dis
charging that obligation.
The decrease in the death rate in Vew
York from 1-8.50 to 17.50 is attributed
to the use of antitoxins in diphtheria
and sterilzed milk for feeding infants.
The doctors naturally feel proud over
this saving of life, but for, the deaths of
thousands of women and children from
starvation as reported in the great
dailies the rate would have been much
less. ' ' , 1 1

THEV PROTEST TOO MUCH. ,
The frequent assertions that the radi
cal element and especially the founders
of tho populist party are to be relegated
to the rear are entirely uncalled for, and
out of order. We defy any man to point
out a single radical proposition in any
plank of any platform of the populist
party of Nebraska, or anything that
can be called radical in any legislation
enacted by the populist legislature, or
any executive act of the populist govern
or to which that term could be applied.
Everything so far proposed or done by
the populist party of Nebraska has, con
sidering the condition brought upon us
by thieving republican officials and
vicious legislation, been extremely con
servative.
There are some very good men who
are inclined "to protest too much."
The populist party of Nebraska is an ex
tremely cbnservative party.
Every day brings to light new ex.
travagances in the republican legisla
tion of this state that will call for ad
ditional sacrifices ty the coming session
in the interest of economy. There is lit
tle doubt that it will be necessary to
materially restrict appropriations for
state institutions it the taxpayers

course from choice, but republican mis
rule through a long teries of years has
brought about conditions that seriously
threaten the credit of the state. Only
the most niggardly economy will enable
the state1 to ever meet its obligations.
Taxpayers cannot afford to forget that
a recent statement from the retiring re
publican state treasurer shows that the
retiring administration will leave its fu
sion successors a legacy of $1,000,000
unpaid claims against the general fund,
and something like $600,000 with which
to pay them. Here is a deficit of $1,300,
000 on top of which comes claims for beet
sugar and chicory bounties aggregating
$150,000 and claims for something like
$30,000 for submitting the constitu
tional amendments to a vote of the peo
ple. What other hitherto hidden short
ages may yet turn up, nobody knows,
but it will be remarkable if there are not
others.
There is one man who ought to be
thankful for the senatorial movement
to investigate the methods by which the
reeent goldbug victory was achieved.
That man is Mark Hanna. Few renub-
icaus outside of Major McKjnleyand the
men who furnished the money begin to
realize the magnitude of Mark's work in
the campaign and what it cost in effort
and cash to roll up a vote of nearly or
quite two millions heavier than that of
four years ago. , The influences that
made the vote in Nebraska heavier by
20,000 than was ever before cast in the
state can account for those 2,000,
000 votes, ; Had not these tactics
been adopted in Nebraska the state
would have gone for Bryan by 40,000,
and had not the same methods been pur
sued by the republicans all over the
United States under Mark Hanna's di
rections and under his pavmastershin
Bryan would have been elected by over
a million votes. These 2,000,000 votes
in excess of the vote of 1892 elected Mo
Kinley by only about half a million.
Senator Sherman's denunciation of the
administration policy thai has been res

Republican economists assert that the
way to create wealth in Nebraska is to
start factories and then support them
by taxation. A beet factory in every
town, supported by taxation will make
us all rich. How is it that that way of
getting rich was never thought of be
fore? Let ns have a factory on every
section. It's a dead sure thinar.
Up to June 30, 1896, there has been
patented to railroads in the south and
west, 83,736,639 acres of land, all a free
gift, and today these roads, which have
always charged excessive rates, are
mostly bankrupt and in the hands of re
ceivers. There is the management of the
business men" who want to run the
government.
The State Journal thinks this Cuban
talk is sprung by tho free silver party
to retard the promised prosperity. The
Journal ought to disregard it and trv
to convinco the people that prosperity is
her. It would be just as easy to con
vince people that prosperity is here as
it would.be to convince them that any
political party is responsible for the
sympathy entertained by Americans for ;
tho Cuban cause.

The press of Chicago was unanimously
of the opinion that Bryan's election

What's that? Away over in Italy the

BU1XET-BEADED BUSINESS MEN
In the early part of 1893 we heard a
cry throughout the country, "Repeal
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act and we will have prosperity." It
was repealed, and instead of prosperity
bankruptcy and ruin followed. Since
last June the people have heard the cry
'Elect McKinley and confidence and
prosperity will be restored." McKinley
was elected and now after one month
only, there have been scores of failures
all Over the land. All of these failures
have been large banking and business
institutions, the very class that worked
the hardest and cried the loudest for
"sound money" and a business man's
campaign. The sums involved in the
failures since the election exceeds the
sum involved in the failures in the early
days of the panic in 1893. It does seem
strange that business men will not learn
that when the great agricultural army
of . the nation is starving they cannot
succeed, but this is true. No nation can
prosper upon a constantly decreasing
currency, no matter how sound or
stable, and impoverished agricultural
industries. Agriculture is the mill that
starts and supports all other business
and trades. Legislate in the interest of
the farmer and you improve the condi

r.very uuy as tne telegrams bring re
ports of the ravages of the McKinley
wave of prosperity, the casting upon the
shores of the business world the wrecks
of commercial enterprises and financial
institutions, friends of the Hon. W. J,
Bryan can only be thankful that it is
not in the power of the republican pre
varicators to say that these startling
failures are due to the election of Bryan.
That is just what they would be sav
ing now if Bryan bad been elected
and these failures had come aB they are
coming now. Possibly they would not
have come. Bimetallists ; believe that
they would not. But republican leaders
declard in the. campaign that Bryan's
election meant a panic and McKinley's
election meant an immediate return to
prosperity. Too many republicans for
the country's good believe them. There
are people who cannot reason anything
out. They are, as the saying goes, from
Missouri, and must be shown. Ex
perience is a dear teacher; but there is
none more effective or thorough. Four
years of experience will be so full of
bitter experience that possibly some of
our republican friends will hardly be mis
led again, although one almost loses
I faith in the judgment of humanity when
he remember how easily thousands
were misled in the recent election and
how apt new deceptions and political
shams are to mislead them four years
hence. It should lie the aim of the bi
metallists to see that no more false sig
nals be bung out by the money power
and its agents during the coming four
years to lead the people further toward
their ruin. ,
Already the big bankers are threaten
ing to defeat State Treasurer Meserve in
his efforts to give a bond in the sum of
$2,000,000. Meserve should pay no
heed to the bankers. Let him do bus
iness with the men who elected him. Let
him go out among the farmers of the
state and get a bond, even if it shall be
necessary to secure a thousand signa
tures. If he shall fall down now and be
come the servant of the bankers he will
be branded as a traitor and a coward by
the every-da.v people who elected him.
Keep your nerve, Meserve. The people
are with you. Papillion Times.

$700,000 of the public school fund as i
now generally conceded by leading re

mense amount lost by tne Mosher gang.
They have robbed the penitentiary and
everywhere and all the time, and now
comes the New York Tribune and says
the citizens of this state are "immoral"'
because they voted these robbers and
thieves out of office. Such is the gold
standard conception of immorality, and
goldites try to live up to it.
THE SUGAR BOUNTY DECISION.
There has been a good deal of confu
sion in the items written about there
cent decision of the supreme court in re
gard to the beet sugar bounty, Th
facts are the law has been declared nnT
constitutional by the supreme court of
that state. Warrants to the amount of
$50,000 have already been, issued by the
state auditor, bnt as they remain un
paid, the treasury is not out a dollar.
The opinion of the court was to the effect
that the law was void because it did not
carry a specific appropriation as re-
right of the state to give a bounty does
not appear to have been denied, but it
was owing to the form of the law that
tne court pronounced it at variance with
the fundamental law.
" THE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.
The A&sociated Press is a great pa

non-partizan lines, but it has not yet

Some time next spring it will send out
the figures. Meantime we gather from
the populist weeklies, published in the-
various states, that the vote was a,

There were cast 13,732,498 votes, or
