If this thing keeps on the whole repub

A bill prohibiting the printing of the
same names on any two tickets has
passed both houses of tue Idaho legisla
ture. ,
Major MoKinley has been sick the past
week. A combination of grip, office
peeking and "good times" was too much
for the old man.
A referendum bill has passed the Kan
sas state senate. That reminds us that
there is a similar bill before the Nebras
ka legislature that might well become a
law.
The legislature has appointed a com
mittee of five to investigate the reports
of mis-management at the school for
deaf and dumb at Omaba and ascertain
the facts, and make report to the legis
lature. Hon. II. M. Sullivan of .Broken Bow
has been appointed district judge in
iplace of Judge Greene, resigned. Sulli
van, up to last fall, was a republican,
but has since been a populist. He is con
sidered one of the best lawyers in the
district. '
In the letter from Chief Justice Doster,
of Kansas, in last week's Independent
there was a mistake. He was made to
ay "I am unalterably opposed to adan
doning the issue of silver redemption"
when it should have read "silver remone
tization." ;
The grand old party which prated so
much about "repudiation" in the last
campaign had better help its ex-state
officials to settle up, or it is liable to be
struck by a wave of repudiation that
will leave it palsied and helpless for
twenty-five years.
The Hawaiian government has sent
two lobbyists to Washington to work
in the interest of annexation. Shall we

The firing of Evans (rep.) out of the
state senate and the seating of Jeficoat
(pop.) in his stead ends the .contests of
this session. The same evidence was ad
duced as in the Douglas county contests
in the house, Mr. JeScoat is an old-time
populist and one of the best informed
men on the money question in the state.
Brooklyn bridge is owned by the city
of New York. It has earned $3,000,000
net profit for that city since its construc
tion. . Its employes work eight hours a
day and are the best paid of any in the
state. The service for the public is the
finest in the world. No better argument
is needed in favor of municipal owner
ship of public utilities.
Applying the principle of the Monroe
doctrine, this government should spare
no efforts to secure the absolute owner
ship of the Nicauguran canal. If owned
by individuals it would be the greatest
private monopoly in the world. If owned
by foreign governments it would be a
constant and continual danger and
menace to American commerce.
The Savings bank report for the state
of New York shows more money with
drawn than deposited, shows a less
number of depositors than a year ago,
it shows that a few individuals already
heavy depositors increased the amount
of their deposits, in other language it
hows that in New York state the rich
get richer and the poor get poorer.
Hon. W. J. Bryan's address before the
state legislature last Wednesday evening
was eminently fair, discreet and master
ly. He took high grounds and talked
to the legislators from the standpoint
of a statesman. He was especially bit
ter against the lobby, advised anti-corporation
legislation, and reminded the
legislators that they must live up to
their promises. It is rapidly dawning
oo the people that Mr. Bryan is more
than a mere orator.
WH EKE -POPULISTS WI1X GAIN.
There Is a very large and growing free
silver republican element in this couttry.
This element is practically without a
party. It cannot remain so long. Where
will it go? Not back to the republican
party, for its opposition to silver is a
barrier; not to the democratic party, for
the hostility and prejudice of a lifetime
bars the way. Then this element must
either farm into a party of, its own, or
come to the people's party. Which it
does depends largely on the attitude of
the people's party itself.
If we go forward as the zealous cham
pion of free silver, adopt a sensible,
broad-minded course, stand true to all
our principles, and assume a friendly at
titude toward this element, it is certain
to come to us.
The free silver republicans left their
party because it abandoned the princip
les in wnicn tbey believed. I ney win go
to that party which tbey believe is giv
ing the issue tbey love the most effective
support.
Free silver is the magnet which will
draw these men. They will not long be
without a party. That is unnatural.
Tbey believe in the remonetuation of the
white metal and they will go to the party
that is the most consistent advocate of
this policy. They are not democrats.
Their natural home is in the people's
party. . '
The number of fre silver republicans
in all parts of the country will rapidly
increase duriug the coming fonr years.
They were cheated into supporting Mo
Kinley by the promise of good times and
international bimetallism. McKinley
will bring neither; and when these men
learn this they will break away by the
thousands.
The party that gains these recruits
will be the party of the future.
Will that party be the people's party?
That remains for the populists them
selves to determine.
Here is a policy on which populists
north and south can unite. Taubeneck
saw it tnree years ago. lie realized
then that this would be the future field
of recruits for populism.
There is only one way for populists to
win the free silver republicans that is
by adopting a common sense course and
standing firm for free silver as the fight
ing issue.
Wharton Barker is one of the brainiest
free-silver republicans in the United
States. He is editor of the Philadelphia
American, the leading free silver republi
can paper ol the country. Lately be
came out for three things:
1. Free coinage of silver.
2. The issue of paper money and the
regulation of the volume thereof by the
national government.
3. Government ownership of railroads
and telegraphs.
And he aays: "These are paramount
to all other questions and I believe a
large majority of the people will support
in 1900 any political party that pro
claims them honestly."
There is only one party that can do
this. That is the people's party. Never
was such a glorious prospect before any
new political organization as this. We
assumed a high-minded, unselfish atti
tude in the last campaign. Let us con
tinue to stand firm and true, and ours is
the coming party in American politics.
MORE UCrHT.
A friend has just sent us a copy of the
Boston Herald containing Washburn's
appeal, comments, and along interview
from the gentleman himself. 'Quite a
number of side-lights are thrown. Here
are the first two of the flaming headlines
announcing the thing:
"POPULISTS TO GO IT ALONE."
"WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN AND
FREE SILVER . ABANDON ED."
Here is a continent on the matter
"The united silver forces of the demo
cratic. populist and republican parties,
which together cast $,500,000; rotes at
the last election have been split, and the
leaders of the populist army of 2,000,
000 have determined to abandon the
cause of Bryan and free silver and strike
out on new issues, under other leader
ship," Here is a comment prefacing Wash
burns interview:
"It means that they (the populists
deliberately sidetrack the issue of free
silver, which Bryan has selected for his
battle cry for the next four years, and
select new issues."
In his interview Washburn says:
"The democratic organization with
Mr. Bryan at its head, has already an
nounced its position, and has declared
that the campaigns of the next four
years shall be fought on the issue of free
silver. While that may be a perfectly
proper position for them, it would be
unwise for us to continue on that same
line, as our main issues, to which we
stand pledged, will soon be fully before
the voters of the country."
O, it would be unwise for us to "con
tinue on the line," "the issue of free
silver." And free silver is not one of our
"main issues." That language is plain,
isn't it?
At the bottom of the Washburn inter
view, we find:
"It is already assured that the meet
ing of the reform press association at
Memphis will endorse it ) Washburn's
plan.)
"Letters received from Paul Vau der
Voort, president of the press association
have indicated this action."
Bear in mind that ibis was published
at the same time the appeal first saw
the light. How did Van der Voort know
that such an appeal was to be issued, so
that he could write these letters? Evi
dently in but one way: Washburn must
have written hiai about it. And there
were letters. Evidently this corresoond
ence must have been going on for some
time. And he pledged the approval of
the reform press association in advance.
WHERE WILL IT END t
More republican rottenness is coming
to light. The committee which has vis
ited the several state institutions has
nneartbed some peculiar transactions at
the soldiers' home at Grand Island and
at the industrial school at Milford. , The
result of the disco verbs will lead to ab
investigation of the peculiar transactions
of the board of public lands and build
ings under the last administration.
At the soldiers' home at Grand Island
a new building for which the state two
years ago appropriated f 12,000 ' has
been erected and accepted. The commit
tee ascertained that the building cost
about $2,000 more than the appropria
tion warranted and that the excess was
drawn from another fund. The building
itself was constructed in the most care
less manner. Already over half of the
plastering has fallen from the wails. One
large room on the first floor has never
been plastered at all. although the con
tract clearly called for plastering. It is
charged that the board of public lands
and buildings accepted the building with
a full knowledge of all its defects', and
over the protest of the commandant and
the visiting board.
For the Milford industrial school the
legislature of two years ago appropri
ated a sum of money necessary to instal'
a new boiler plant. Three boilers were
set under contract.' Last week two of
these boilers fell in. As fortune bad it,
no steam bad been generated in the boil
ers at the time, otherwise an explosion
must inevitably have accompanied the
accident and the lives of 100 persons
would have been jeopardized. The visit
ing committee discovered that the boil
ers, instead of being mounted on solid
foundations of brick and mortar, had
been placed upon the flimsiest kind of a
base. A single layer of veneer of brick
had been built and the cavity filled with
broken brick and loose dry mortar. No
arch had been constructed , beneath the
boilers.
As a result of these discoveries an in
vestigating committee will be appointed
and the responsibility located in the
proper place. -
THE REFORM PRESS MEETING.
By a mistake of the printers, all men
tion of the reform press meeting at Grand
Island last week was pmitted.
It was a splendid meeting. About
twenty editors were present. Resolu
tions were adopted denouncing any con
ference not called by the regularly con
stituted authorities of the party; roast
ing Paul Van der Voort; opposing the
scaling down of printer's fees and favor
ing u law against the rake-off system
now in vogue among many county offi
cials and attorneys, favoring a liberal
appropriation for the trans-Missippi ex
position, provided that half of it is fur
nished by warrants issued on the plan of
the Soderman bill, and it s all under a
board of managers appointed by the
governor. A resolution was also adop
ted favoring the organization of an as
sociation, or rather the enlarging of
the present association, so as to include
all the free silver editors iu the state.and
a meeting was called at the Lincoln ho
tel, Lineoln, March 2, of the free silver
editors, to perfect such an organization.
MUST KEEP OUR PROMI8E8.
The populists in the present legislature
must remain true to our only principles.
There must be some legislation for the
relief of the people. Corporation rates
must be cut down. Freight charges
must be reduced. Telephone, telegraph,
and stock yards prices, are exorbitaht.
They must be made lower. The aggre
gations of capital should be made to
bear their just portios of taxation.
There should be no delay about this
matter. We have the majority, and are
responsible. We must act. This legisla
ture has it in its power to retire the re
publican party for twenty years in this
state, or to retire our own. Which shall
it be? There are plenty of good bills.
The only thing lacking is to press them
forward and enact them into law. There
should be less cheese-paring, less quib
bling over non-essentials, and more ef
fort to enact some legislation of real
benefit to the people of the state. All
that is required of us is that we stand to I
our promises, that we be honest with
the people.
GENERAL GRANT'S HON.
Jesse R. Grant, the youngest son of
Gen. U. S. Grant is to be the populist
candidate for mayor of the city of San
Diego, California at the coming election.
Kyle's re-election decides the number
of populists in the next senate. There
will be eight as follows: Win. V. Allen,
of Nebraska, Marion Butler, of North
Carolina; Wm. A. Harris, of Kansas;
Wm. M. Stewart and John H. Jones of
Nevada; J. H. Kyle, of South Dakota;
Henry Heitfeld, of Idaho and George F.
Turner of Washington. There are four
senators independent of any party:
Henry M. Teller of Colorado; Frank J.
Cannon, of Utah; Lee Mantle, of Mon
tana and R. F. Pettigrew of South Dakota.
THOSE SHORTAGES.
Ex-Treasurer Bartley is short over a
half million in bis accounts. Ex-Auditor
Moore is short $25,000. And now it
transpires that Ex-Land Commissioner
Russell is short, but it cannot be deter
mined how much, as the books of origin.
al entry are gone. A committee, has al
so reported that clerks in his office were
required to sign vouchers Jor much
larger sums than they received. The
state superintendent's and attorney gen
eral's offices have not yet been investi
gated. It also transpires that the two
republican members of the board ap
proved a number of depository bonds on
the last day the republicans were in
office, over Gov. Holcorab's protest; and
this was for the purpose probably of
covering np more rottenness. This is
the dishonesty of the great party of
"honest money" slowly coming to light
POPULISM IN DULUTH,
In the recent election in the city of Du
luth, Minnesota, the peoples party elect
ed the city treasurer, collector, and "six
out of eight aldermen. The accessions
to the populist ranks came from the re
publicans and were due to the failure to
keep promises made to the working men
in the great coal regions near that city.
They voted solidly for McKinley with
the promise, of more work and better
wages. Since election the works have
closed down or wages have been reduced
until destitution and suffering is greater
than ever before. These men showed
their resentment in the city election, and
openly declared that the McKinley cam
paiun was a fraud.
TAKING A TUMBLE.
We clip the following old telegram
from Coxey's paper.
Washington, Feb. 8. Populist mem
bee of congress do not as a rule take
kindly to the proposition of National
Committeeman Washburn of Massa
chusetts that the party abandon the
silver question and fall bak upon the
two questions of government issue of
paper money and government control of
railroads Chairman Butler said today
that the. populist party is committed to
free silver as the main issue until that
issue is disposed of. "The logic of the
situation will not permit the party to
cut adrift from the silver question," said
Repreeentative Kem of Nebraska, Sen
ator Allen is emphatic in all of the
above.
Well, how is this? On January 25
Washburn in the Boston Herald headed
his "symposium" with letters from Allen
and Butler. Something must have hap
pened between Jauuary 25th and Febru
ary 3d to cause these gentlemen to
change their minds. Wonder what it
was?
HAS IT COME TO THIS?
Free silver is only one of the planks of
the populist creed and, though impor
tant, about the least important of the
whole creed. Missouri World.
Has Washburn's appeal borne such
fruit as this, and so soon?
One of the most frequent objections
urged against government ownership of
railroads is that the employes would be
compelled to support the party in power
and thus a change could not be brought
about. It could not be worse than
under the present arrangement. The
railroad kings are organized and their
power and influence is tremendous, and
is always cast for one political party. It
was railroad influence that defeated Alt-
geld. Where was co-ercion most practi
ced among the postal clerks and mail
carriers or clerks and employes of rail
way companies? A little investigation
will show that government employes
under civil service vote thir convictions
with much greater safety than the em
ployes of our great corporations.
The report of United States consul to
New Zealand, John D. Connolly shows
the great progress of that new country.
They have some good laws there, popu
list in principle. He says, "by law the
government advances money to the
farmers at 4 per cent interest and has no
direct system of taxation except for local
purposes, and even in such cases no
taxes are collected from persons who are
worth less thn $2500. No ill effects are
yet apparent, the country is more pros
perous than it was under the old regime,
and the government is honestly and
economically administered." This is
evidence written by the enemy in sup
port of populist doctrine..
Prices are low on account of under
consumption rather than over-production.
Millions of people are living on the
verge of starvation. Parsimony is prac
ticed by all. Increase the money volume;
furnish the means with which to trans
act business. This will cheapen the dol
lar until men would rather own property
than dollars. They will convert their
dollars into property, either real estate
or manufactured articles, business will
revive, labor will be employed, suffering
will be less, and we will ship the products
of American labor to all parts of the
world.

Every spring in this state large quan
tities of water run to waste. Rains are
plentiful in the springand early summer.
How many ponds containing from one
to flveacres of water could be construct
ed in this state at very little expense?
It will be dry at times next summer. If
the breezes and hot south winds floated
over lakes and ponds instead of dry
land, they would not be nearly so de
structive. Every farmer with a suitable
location should construct a lake. A few
well selected fish would soon multiply
into a valuable "product of the farm."
The Nebhaska Independent believes
in mutual insurance. It is anxious to
see mutual companies flourish, but there
are certain methods of doing business in
some of them that we think ought not
to prevail. All members of a mutual
company should be treated alike, The
practice of taking promieory notes in
payment for insurance should be aban
doned. In these times no man's note is
as good as cash. If it is practiced to
any extent losses are certain to occur.
Some men would then have secured in
surance for nothing, lor as long as the
company holds the notes, it is liable for
losses covered by the policies.
In the business of the state, we object
to the state treasurer accepting the
promissory notes of banks (certificates
of deposit) as a part of the state's funds
in settlement with his predecessor but
insist that he should have the cash. The
same thing should be required of the
treasurers and officers of mutual insur
ance companies. It is the only way that
members can protect themselves from
imposition and loss.

The penitentiary needs a little atten
tion. The contract system should be
done away with and a more complete
sanitary system adopted. We do not
put men in prison so much to punish
them for what they have done, as to
prevent them from doing the same
things over again. We hang tor the
same reason, so they can never murder
again.
Prisoners should work or they get sick
and crazy. They have to be fed, clothed
and sheltered. Tbey can and should be
allowed to pay all .their expenses by
their labor. I much rather they would
earn their own living than for me to earn
mine and theirs too. Labor is a bless
ing and not a punishment. They should
work for the state and not for a con
tractor. Let them make articles such as com
mon laboring people use, brooms, shoes,
clothing, harness, farm implements and
so on. Instruct them to make the
goods so well that the prison stamp will
be a reccommendation. If they work
faithfully eight hours a day give tbem a
small bounty, each day.tostart business
with when they go out.
It is objected that prisou goods are
sold under price. The laboring classes
will get them that much cheaper then.
It is better to pay five ceuts less for a
broom than to be taxed one cent for the
support of the prisoners. Again it is
urged that criminals do the work that
honest men ought to nave, iney ao no
more work inside than tbey ought to do
outside, so the relation of labor to la
borers is not disturbed. Give them ma
chinery to do all they can. Cheap goods
to those who buy is no detriment to the
laboring class, there is enough else, for
all to do. that prisoners cannot ao,
The number of prisoners is only one to
five hundred voters. The five hundred
do not do much, if one can do work
enough to throw very many of them out,
Many prisoners learn trades in prison
and lead honest lives after they are dis
charged. This should be one of the chief
aims of prison disipline.
We now can see clearly why the repub
licans thought the credit of the state
was ruined as soon as it was known that
the populi6ts had carried everything
from top to bottom. iney Knew tnat
their dark deeds would be brought to
light. And sure enough the credit of the
state has never received sucn a snocK
If the republicans had carried the state
evervthinir would have gone on lovely.
Taxes would have been collected, state
debts doubled up and millions would
have gone to enrich the ring. Iney
called us repudiators because they knew
we would repudiate republican robbery.
The arbitration treaty, with England,
seems to hang in the senate. There don't
seem to be very much objection to the
treaty but if its ratification is postponed
til after the 4th of March then it wilf be
called a republican or McKinley measure.
The republicans, seemingly, have aban
doned all hope of doing anything meri
torious themselves and are seeking to
steal what little glory Cleveland has left.
The treatv arose out of the Venezuela
boundry diplomacy. It was agreed to
leave that question to disinterested arb
iters. Then it followed England and the
United States would hereafter settle all
questions of disagreement by arbitration
of men rather than to that of the sword.
The treaty is only an advanced step of
modern civilization.
A small war cloud hangs over the is
land of Crete, in the Mediteranean Sea.
Greece on one side and Turkey on the
other manifest an interest. The island is
a Turkish province though a large pro.
portion of the inhabitants are christians.
There has been no little uneasiness man
ifest all through the island ever since the
Turkish massacre of the Armenians com
menced. A few days ago the christians
of the island took the initiative and
murdered about two thousand Turks,
men, women and children. They next
declared themselves independent of Tur
key and annexed themselves to Greece.
Greece sent over soldiers and took pos
session of the island. See Europe now
standing to help the Turk.
The iron and steel trust has busted.
The time came when some iron and steel
must be sold at some price. The mem
bers of the trust had a quarrel and every
man went to selling at his own price all
be could. Filteen dollars a ton was the
lowest point reached. Sseveral bund red
thousand ton were sold to be delivered
within the year. Uhe price is about half
the average for the last ten years. How
much revenue will McKinley get should
be put the old seventeen dollar tariff on
again:
There is a reason for cheap iron. With
in the lust fewyears they have discovered
an iron ore bed in Minnesota, a few
miles north of Dulutli, which beats any
thing of the kind any where in the world.
It spreads over several tnousana acres
and goes down fifty to seventy feet in
thickness. It is mined with a steam
shovel and loaded to flat cars as
cheap as gravel or sand. It is bauled to
Dulutb, there dumped into steamboats
and taken to Chicago and Cleveland,
where it meets the coal and is reduced to
the best of iron and steel. It is esti
mated by one writer that with the pre
sent price of labor ali that is received
above ten dollars a ton is clear profit.
It seems to be a war of the giants, Car
negie on one side and Rockefeller on the
other. Already the Chicago giant has
underbid the Pennsylvania giant a hun
dred dollars a ton for armor plate to the
government.
Dueling and fist fighting were popular
years ago. The old duel grounds in the
suburbs of New Orleans are as plain to
be seen today as the foot-ball ground in
Lincoln. More pains were taken to fit it
up. Two rows of trees were planted
about thirty feet apart and the trees in
the rows ten feet apart. Between the
center trees of each row is where the due
lists met, shook bands, turned their
backs together, marched out to the dead
line, turned at the word and fired. Then
if no harm was done, the most approved
ending was to come together and finish
the entertainment with swords. Sur
geons and ambulances were in waiting
just as at our foot ball games. So pop
ular was the sport that our vice-president
went out shot his man and still held '
bis seat, president of the United States
senate, without objection. Congress
men, judges, preachers, and all classes
came out to witness the contest. We
once elected a president who bad fought
six or eight duels and killed six or eight
men. -
At length, as Skiles would sa, "a lot
of 'old women' got into congress and the
legislatures of the different states and
dueling was outlawed."
Then followed the first fight test of
strength and endurance. Men would
come into the ring, close shaven and
shorn, after beingfed, rubed and greased
for a month. This was called training.
When the hour arrived ihey would shake
hands and then pound each other till one
was dead or laid up for repairs. The
"rough features of the game were elimi
nated". Contestants were forbidden to
hit below the belt or to strike a pros
trate foe. But after a while this fist
game become unpopular and it was out
lawed. The state of Texas called her old
worren together in special session to out
law the game in that state. In Nevada
alone the manly sport can go on.
Football is more hazardous to health,
limb and life than pugulisra and why
not stop it by the strong arm of the law.
It is not a healthy exercise.
Who has not heard of the fast train
from Chicago to Denver? 1026 miles in
less than nineteen hours. Henry J..
Mayhan, of Denver, while in New York
received a dispatch that his only sow
was at the point of death. He at once
started on the Pennsylvania limited but
the regular train was too slow. At"
Pittsburg he bargained with the Bur-
ungion, oy leiegrapn, to carry him from
Chicago to Denver in twenty-four hours
for one thousand dollars. But death
was to fast for the fast train. The boy
died while his father was sailing through
west Nebraska and had been dead three
hours when his father arrived in Denver.
