An astrologer in London predicts the

The "Silver Kuight," of Washington,

, Senator William Stewart.
Capital involved in failures in 1895
was 1158,800,000; in 1890, f 247,000,
000. The latter year was nearly as bad
as 1893, yet McKinley's election, the
great prosperity panacea, occurred in
1896. '
Pious John Wanainaker was turned
down for United States senator from
Pennsylvania and Quay's candidate
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The Independent does not love Quay,
but welcomes the defeat of that Peck
sniff of modern politics, John Wana
maker. !
A new paper comes from the home of
Carlisle, Covinarton, Kentucky, bearing
the name ol "The Extra." It flaunts
the following at the head of its editorial
columns: "A sure winner in 1900. For
President, William Jennings Bryan, of
Nebraska; for Vice-president, John R.
.McLean, of Ohio."
I. D. Chamberlain, who will be remem
bered by most of the old guard, is still
publishing a paper at Pueblo, Colorado,
but the name has been changed. It is
now the Independent Reform Press
There is no question about it being
Chamberlain's paper. His individuality
is apparent all over it.
The republicans have tried to make
political capital out of the fact that no
flags have been floating over the pres
ent session of the legislature. But they
have failed to tell the reason. The re
publican legislature of two years ago
sold the state house flags and the late
republican secretary of state failed to
purchase new ones. That is the cause of
it.
Hon. W. J. Bryan made three notable
addresses in as many "days last week:
The first was at the bimetallic state con
vention, Lincoln, on Wednesday; Jthe
second, in Chicago at the Jackson day
banquet, Thursday evening; the third,
at the Jacksonian club banquet, Omaha,
Friday evening. Never in the history ot
American politics have equal demonstra
tions been made in honor of a defeated
presidential candidate.
CUBA MADE A SCAPE-GOAT.
We have been waiting patiently for
some republican organ to explain why
the good times coming in case of Mc
Kinley's election, have not appeared as
advertised; but, beyond being told to
"Not be in a hurry," tve had, until about
two minutes ago, waited in vain. But
at last it has come. It is Cuba poor,
down-trodden Cuba. Here it is in the
New York Independent, which is a gold
bug from the very throne of goldbug
dom and therefore speaks by the card.
See how nicely it is all explained away:
The year 1896 has not proved a profit
able one to the majority of people; but
it is now goue, and the question which
most business men are asking them
selves is, what of the future? It must
be confessed that there is disappoint
ment in that the prosperity promised
after McKinley's election has not yet
presented itself. For this delay some
reasons can be given.
For one thing the Cuban resolutions,
agreed to by the senate committee and
introduced into that body, have had an
effect upon business which is serious, al.
though somewhat indirect. The com
mercial circles do not wish for war with
Spain, except for most clear cause, for
the reason that wars and rumors of
wars depress trade.
There you have it. Before election it
was the silver agitation. Now it is Cuba.
What it will be next the prince of the
goldbugs only knows.
Maybe it will be the tariff; or the atro
cities of the unspeakable Turk; or the
weather; or the influence of the planets;
or the health of the queen; or anything
but the real cause The Gold Standard,
Rlpans Tabules cure dyspepsia.
TWICE A WKKK.
The Independent, during the session
of the legislature, will issue twice a week
four pages on Tuesday and the regular
eight page edition on Friday.
This will be without extra cost to our
subscribers, and is done solely for the
purpose of giving them a better news
service. It will be a matter of consider
able extra cost to us, but there is noth
ing too good for the readers ol the In
dependent, even though it does cost
money- Tllpy nave Btaid with us a ong
time and we feel like rewarding them for
past favors.
It is our intention to furnish as good
legislative news service for the money as
can be secured.
In return for this we ask every friend
of the Indepkndenn to help push its cir
culation. We propose to secure the best editorial
talent available and the best news serv
ice possible; in a word, to make the
paper the best it has ever been.
The iNDEPENDKNTshouldgo into every
household in the state. We ask our
readers to help put it there.
THE SILVER KNIUUT.
An interesting exchange comes to us
under the name of the "Silver Knight"
of Cleveland, Ohio. A unique feature of
its heading is a picture of W. J. Bryan
between the word "Silver" and the word
"Knight." This occurs both in the
main bead and the sub-head on the edi
torial page.
The following from its columns is
worthy the attention of every reformer:
Another proof that the republicans
carried on the campaign of false pre
teuses was shown in the World of Mon
day evening. Perry Heath, who had
charge of the literary bureau of the re
publican party during the late cam
paign, in an interview with a World re
porter said:
"The republican national organization
will, I am sure, push the campaign
against free silver with all possible vigor.
We have the machinery and the agita
tion will be carried on largely by means
of published pamphlets containing
speeches delivered in congress. It has
also been arranged to have the repub
lican clubs throughout the couutry take
a hand in the good work."
If I his does not prove that the repub
lican plank in favor of an international
agreement was a fraud, we do not know
the meaning of words. Perry Heath is
certainly in a position to know what the
future republican programme will be, as
he has charge of the literary bureau. In
view of the fact that the republicans are
going to. keep up the campaign of gold
bugism, the silver men must keep op the
agitation in favor of bimetallism. A
great educational work must be accom
plished in the next two years, in order
to secure a silver congress in 1898. The
silver forces must not be found napping.
A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE.
The Jacksonian banquet at Omaha
last Friday night was quite an interest
ing affuir; and of course, the most inter
esting portion of it was Mr. Bryan's ad
dress. We quote two suggestions from
this, the last of which is significant:
"It is time for us to say by statute
that corporations shall not enter ino
politics or give financial aid to any po
litical party. In the last campaign
many banks contributed thousands of
dollars and justified their action on the
ground that they were protecting their
depositors, but you can never tell until
a bank fails whether the . money has
been taken from the deposits or from the
bank. V
"If Nebraska takes the lead others will
follow, aud it will be the first step in rid
ding the country of corporation domina
tion. Another thing that w should do
is to require that a tax shail be levied
on a bank for its deposits from loss gen
erally. We canuot reach the national
banks, but we can apply the principle ta
ttle state banks and then the national
banks will have to follow or abide by the
consequences.
"Middle of the Road" populist papers
have charged that Mr. Bryan is not in
sympathy with populist principles, ex
cept the free coinage of silver. We ask
such to study these two suggestions
carefully, especially the latter as to the
tax on banks to create a fund to pro
tect depositors. If these two sugges
tions do not point in the direction of
governmental control and ownership,
then in what direction do they point?
KICK OUT THE TRAITORS.
We say to our populist brethren in the
south, in all good faith: Don't allow
such creatures as Paul Van der Voort to
hoodwink you. You don't know him.
He lives in Nebraska and we of his own
state ougbt to be able to tell you what
kind of a man he is. In the olden days
he was the most notorious railroad loby-
ist in Nebraska. During the last cam
paign he did the bidding of the republi
can party. The only work he performed
was to assist in the election of McKia
ley. He has been repudiated again and
again by the populists of his own state;
and is, in Nebraska, a stench in the nos
trils of decent people of all parties. He
is a republican spy in the populist
camp is so regarded by everybody here;
and up to the first of this year, when the
populist administration was inaugurat
ed, Van der Voort was a republican ottU
bolder. His purpose now seems to be to
disrupt the people's party.
A year ago this creature managed to
worm himself in as president of the na
tional reform press association how,
we have never been able to understand.
There were no other representatives from
Nebraska present, or it would not have
bappeued.
Now, in pursuance of his plan, he has
called a meeting of the association at
Memphis, Tenn., as far from the popu
list strongholds west of the Missouri
river as possible. He boldly announces
his plan to read every man out of the
association whom he cannot control.
He is a candidate for re-election.
What supreme gall! What business
has he in a press association? He never
was editor of a paper, except for a very
short time a little one-horse monthly at
Omaha, aud that long ago suspended.
Wrhat business has he in a reform press
association he, theoil-roomlobbyist.tiie
railroad pass dispenser, the appointee
of the republican party?
It is a burning shame that he is even
a member of such an organization, to
say nothing of being its president.
For the honest middle-of-the-road pop
ulists of the south we have never had
other than the most kindly feelings. We
are fighting for the same cause for which
they are fighting. In all good faith, we
warn them against Van der Voort. He
is simply doing the work of his masters.
He is trying to disrupt the people's
party. He is a spy in the great reform
army.
STILL THEY COME.
Another silver paper comes to hand
Vol. 1, No. 1. It is the "Champaign
Orbit" of Champaign county, 111. It is
edited by the well-known Mont Robin
son. We take a few gems from its salu
tatory: ,
Yes, there is need of another paper
one just like this.
The republican papers club us and we
have nothing to fight back with but the
fists, and gloved fists at that.
We propose taking a club and meet
ing them with their own weapons.
Unless every patriot does his duty
this will not be a free country much
longer. Already it has come to pass
that men dare not tell how they vote.
Thousands voted against their hon
est convictions because they had to.
One part of our people and their chil
dren after them are bonded servants to
another part of our people for 30 sears
and now they propose making it forty.
All these bitter pills are sugar coated
to make them go down. That coating
is "honest money," "sound money,'
"national honor," "public credit," &c,
Thaf; coating must be ripped off.
It will take men to make this fight.
KICKING OVER THE TRACES.
The Sterling Sun, though a republican
paper; has a habit of talking back that
is refreshing. For example, note the
following:
About every late redublican office
holder in Nebraska who is out of a job,
now wants to be appointed to some fat
place by the president-elect Some men
are like hogs, never know when tbey
have enough.
If our republican readers think the
above a little heterodox, then let them
observe what follows, which is from an
other republican paper, the Lincoln
News:
The news has never believed and its
belief is shared by hundreds of thousands
of other Americans that monometall
ism, gold or silver, was better for us
than the concurrent use of two moneys
of redemption. The gold standard has
but a small number of advocates in this
country, and the audacity of the spokes
men of these few to assert that the re
publican platform was a delusion and a
snare, was only a bait to catch votes, is
resented. And the resentment takes the
form of a determined movement to see
that bimetallism by international agree
ment is accomplished, or we will know
the reason why. It is a matter of honor
with the republican party that it shall
eudeavor to redeem its pledges.
SOMEWHAT HYPOCRITICAL,
The State Journal has been trying to
make out a case against seating the two
supreme judges-elect. The Independ
ent has goneover this matter thorough
ly heretofore, bay will refer to it briefly
again. The republican legislature
framed the bill two yers ago for the ex
press purpose of declaring the amend
ment carried, provided mote votes were
cast for it, regardless of whether it re
ceived a majority of all the votes cast at
the election or not. That was the reason
separate ballot boxes were provided.
John C. Watson, author of the bill open
ly and above board avowed that as the
intention of the act: Then ol course,
the republicans expected to elect the
judges.
Now that the populists have elected
them, the case is somewhat different.
Our repnblican friends make many wry
faces about taking a dose of thtir own
preparation.
The difference between the repub jeans
and populists is that, if the republicans
had elected their men, they would have
seated them without any delay; while
the populists will not seat theiis until
the legislature fairly and thaoughly
investigates the matter. Lowing at
the question in the clear ligl of facts,
the objections the republicans are offer
ing seem somewhat hypocritiial, to say
the least.
AN INTKHKSTINfi I I U
The following interesting lie is taken
from the New York World:
Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 2. W. J. Bryan is
making many enemies among the silver
democrats by the almost absolute au-
thority be is exercising in the orgauiza- '
tion of the populist legislature and the :
distribution of its patronage. j
Patrick Barton, an old line democrat,
became so incensed at the conduct of
Mr. Bryan that he called him up by tele
phone yesterday and denounced him se- '
verely. '
Two former employees of Mr. Bryan 1
have recently been given responsible J
places in the postoffice here, and W. F.
Soh wind, another graduate of Mr. Bry-
an's law office, is sure to be secretary of
the state senate.
The legislature will meet Tuesday.
Mr. Bryan's candidate for Speaker of the
House, Mr. Gaffin, will doubtless be
elected. W. II. Waldron is certain to be
clerk of the house, as he has Mr. Bry
an's Huppui't.
This was sent out by the State Jour
nal office, this city, to the gold-bug
papers of the United States.
If W. E. Annin, the Journal's versatile
Washington prevaricater were at this
end of the line, we could readily under
stand the authorship of this item, but
as it is we must credit it to some imiator
of that eminent disciple of Annanias.
It is somewhat amusing to read that
Patrick Barton, "an old-line democrat,"
"denounced severely" Mr. Bryan "by
telephone." Those who know Patrick
Barton can appreciate the joke. Those
who do not know him can form any es
timate of him from the fact that he did
the "denouncing" "by telephone."
Then we read that two former em
ployes of Mr. Bryan have recently been
given responsive places in the postofBce
here." This must 'refer to Tom Allen.
We always found Tom quite numerous,
but never heard him spoken of as "two"
people before. Then Tom got his ap
pointment not "recently," but three
years ago; aud he is the only one of "Mr.
Bryan's former employes" there is in the
Lincoln postoffice. '
A little farther on we read of "Mr. Bry
an's candidate for speaker of the house,
Mr. Gaffin." This is news. We never be
fore heard that Mr. Gaffin was Mr. Bry
an's .candidate. It is possible, thouirn.
He was everybody else's candidate. His
election has been a foregone conclusion
ever since the speakership matter has
been mentioned.
A little farther down we find this: "W.
H. Waldron is equally certain to be
clerk of the house, as he has Mr. Bryan's
support." Well, well. Here is one of
"Mr. Bryan's candidates" who evidently
went wrong. Mr. Waldron's name was
not mentioned in the populist caucus.
And when Mr. Eager was elected chief
clerk the State Journal charged that be
was "Mr. Bryan's candidate."
The fact of the matter is that nobody
had less to do with organizing the legis
lature than Mr. Bryan. He refused to
have anything to do with it, declining
even to endorse his best friends.
The Independent begs the pardom of
its readers fordevotiiur so much space
to so apparent a canard. We only do it
to show what interesting lies some whif
fets of correspondents can send out.
THE SILVER CONFERENCE.
The Independent went to press too
early last week to Drint the resolutions
adopted by the state silver conference.
They are as follows:
Believing it,to be impossible to restore
prosperity in any general or permanent
degree to the prostrate industries and
business of the country, or to save the
masses of the people of the United States
from further and greater spoliation and
business ruin, except by a change in the
present monetary standard ai.d policy
And that; therefore, the money ques
tion, especially as involving the restora
tion of silver to free and unlimited coin
age, equally with gold; into all legal
tender money at the ratio of 16 to 1, as
under the law prior to 1873, regardless
of the action of any other nation, over
shadows every other political question
And must remain the paramount politi
cal issue of the immediate future and un
til settled;
And also believing that it is only
through organization and systematic
education that the mass of the people
can be brought to see the falacy and in
evitable ruin in the present system, or
that they can be united for its over
throw and to adopt a better system;
therefore, we; as citizens of Nebraska in
convention assembled, regardless of past
or present party affiliations and for the
purpose of effecting a more perfect union
and organization of all parties for sys
tematic education and work in propa
gating these principles among the peo
ple, with the view to ultimate union of
the ballot box do hereby unite in organ
izing the Nebraska bimetallic union.
The object shall be to aid through edu
cational work, the restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the present legal ratio of 1 6 to
1 without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation.
Aud we demand that all money
whether gold, silver or paper shall be
coined or issued by the general govern
ment and shall be a full legal tender for
all debts public or private.
All power shall be vested In a commit
tee of four, consisting of one democrat,
one populist, one republican, and one
national prohibitionist, to b? selected
by the general convention. It shall be
the duty of the committee to appoint a
similur committee in each county of the
state and when possible to second the
county committees in the appointmen
of similar committees in each voting pre
cinct. It shall be the duty of the committee
to encourage the organization of silver
clubs throughout the state and circu
late literature and put forth every legit
imate effort to advance the cause of bi
metallism and to this end we seek the
co-operation of the woman's free coin
age of silver clubs throughout the state-
The members of this committee shall
hold their office for one year and until
their successors shall have been chosen.
It shall have power to fill any vacancies
which may occur in the committee.
A convention shall be held yearly in
the month of January on a day to be
fixed by the state committee for the se
lection of a new committee and such
other officers as may be thought neces
sary.
The state committee chosen is as fol
lows: Judge Gregory, republican, Oma
ha; A. C. Sbellenberger, democrat, Alma;
J. H. Edmisten, populist, Lincoln; G. E,
Biglow, prohibitionist, Lincoln.
We do not know Mr. Suellenberger or
Mr. Bigelow, but the selections of Judge
Gregory and Mr. Edmisten are good
1 ones, especially the latter, for J. H. Ed
tnisten is one of the best political organ
izers and managers in Nebraska.
MARION BUTLEK.
Some of the middle-of-the-road popu-
j list papers, notably the Southern Mer
cury (Dallas, Tex.) and the People's
I Party Paper (Atlanta, Ga.) keep per
sistently and maliciously attacking Sen
Butler. These are the same papers that
made life o burden to Chairman Taube-
neck; that abused Gen. Weaver; that
misrepresented Sen. Allen, that have
tried to smirch the character of the big-
crest and grandest men in the reform
movement.
Marion Butler may not be perfect. He,
however, probably as nearly approxi
mates perfection as some of his de
tainers.
But he is a gentleman; he is patriotic;
he is a man of keen intellect; tactful,
resourceful, alertjhe is one of the shrewd
est political managers in America; he is
broad-minded, and he is a thorough
populist.
Watson's paper leads the fight on
him. Yet the Watson forces made But
ler chairman of the national committee;
and Butler was Watson's best friend dur
ing the campaign. Whether ' Watson
realized this or not, it was true a far
better friend than the boodle populists
like Demming, Mathews, Van Dervoort,
etc., who swarmed around Watson pre
tending to be his friends, but were really
only friends to the republican party.
Butler did more work for Watson,
achieved more practical results for him
than any other one man. For Watson
to attack him now peems to us little
short of ingratitude.
There seem to be a small clique of men
in the people's party who are bent on
abusing every many they cannot con
trol. They seem determined to run the
peoples' party or ruin it.
The Indepeneent gives them fair
warning now that they cannot run the
people's party; neither can they ruin it.
If they persist in their course, they can
only succeed in ruining themselves.
Marion Butler is a bigger and better
man than all of them combined. He
will stay where he is. The vast major
ty of honest populists throughout the
entire coutry will stand by him.
LITERARY NOTES.
The Arena for January is as good as
usual. The article on "Religion of
Burns' Poetry" will be relished by all
lovers of the immortal Scotch bard.
The Macmillan company have recently
published a translation of the Recollec
tions of Alexis de Tocqueville, by
Teixeira de Mat ton. There are few men
whose recollections are so full of inter
est as de Tocqueville s. He was a man
ol many friendships among the most
noted men of his time. Gladstone, for
instance, writes to the translator: "I
set a high value on the work and am
perusing it with the greatest interest."
To Americans the work is of usual in
terest, as displaymgso much of the char
acter of the man whose brilliant work on
American democracy did much to estab
lish our conntry s place in the esteem of
continental nations.
Some light may be thrown upon the
question who is the most popular Amer
ican novelist by a reference to the num
bers of F. Marion Crawford's novels
which have been sold in the United
States.
The sale of his first book, Mr. Isaacs,
for example, are now in their fifty-third
thousand, while his most popular dook,
Saracinesca, scores more than over ten
thousand above the hundred thousand
mark.
Exposure to Disease
Does not necessarily mean the contrac
tion of disease provided the system is in
a vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs in healthy action.
When in such a condition contagion is
readilv resisted and the disease germs
can find no lodgment. Hood s Sarsa-
parilla is the best medicine to buildup
the system because it makes pure, rich
blood, and pure blood is the basis of
good health. In cold weather it is es
pecially necessary to keep up the health
tone because , the body is subject to
greater exposure and more liable to dis
ease. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the safe
guard of health.
II RYAN FOR I KEM KENT, AIXEH FOK
SENATOR.
The Jefferson County Journal carries
at the bead of its editoriaF column the
lonowing: 1
"William J. Brycn for President in(
1900."
In its last issue this paper pays a com
pliment to Nebraska's" two foremost
sous in the following words:
The defeat of Mr. Bryan for the presi
dency this fall left in Nebraska two of
the most if not the two most promi
nent, able and loyal advocates of finan
cial reform and of industrial independ
ence in the country, Mr. Bryan and Sen
ator Allen. Both have been honest,,
loyal aud courteous in their fight forvthe-
! 1 . . 4 I J i 1 1 i-1. I A
piiuuiyir-s iut-v ouvuvaic, anu uul-ii fitsyu
been willing to place the success of those
principles above any consideration of
personal success or party aggrandiz-
ment. Both have unselfishly sought the
public good when the policy which alone
could restore prosperity was unpopular,,
and when it called down upon its advo
cates the hatred and ridicule of a ma
jority of even our own people. But their
battle at home is won, and so long as
republicans fail to give us relief, and as
the reform forces remain true to the prin
ciples udoii which they won, their lease
of power in this state is certain and now
when the chance is about to come to the
people of Nebraska to honor one and
only one of her two great statesmen
with a seat in the upper hall of congress,,
some people have been heard to a'sk,.
"Which shall it be?"
Knowing that such a question has
arisen our senior senator has already
nobly spoken, to say that if Mr. Bryan
wishes to be a candidate he will not
stand in his way. Such words in such a
tiaie mark the unselfish patriot and the
truly great man. Few ages and few
states have produced the man who lias
been willing to retire in the midst of his
career and in the midst of the fight,
when every day sees the fulfillment of
his words, when every passing hour vin
dicates his position, and when the glory
and the fruits of victory are just ahead,
to let some colleague who has grown up
by his side step into the place which be
has occupied and wear the crown that
has been prepared for him. Such Sen
ator Allen has signified his willingness to
do. But we have not heard from Mr. Bry
an, we trust only because the matter of
his possible candidacy has not received
sufficient publicity to warrant his giving
it attention. No less noble than Sena
tor Allen's words, has been the grace
with which Mr. Bryan 'has borne his de
feat, and accepted the temporary ver
dict of a people that were under duress
to render such a decision, has gone forth ,
to give his talent and energy to freeing
them from the circumstances that pre
vented their expressing their untram
meled choice, and to educating those
who still do not seethe logic of his views.
But we hope the matter will soon
come to his notice, for if he is to prove
himself worthy of the high esteem in
which he is now held, and we trust shall
ever be held, Mr. Bryan will not be long
in silencing the rumors that he may be a
candidate to succeed Senator Allen. For
Mr. Bryan to allow his name to be used
as a candidate for the position of Sena
tor Allen, in words, would be, in others
opinion, the rankest ingratitude. And
we think that those who presume that
Mr. Bryan would think for a moment or
doing so, do him great injustice. Mr.
Bryan has not shown himself such a
man. Let Mr. Bryan speak and settle
this discussion.
P. S. For our views of Mr. Bryan'a
future see head of editorial column.
