The decision of tbe suprenieconrt bold
ins the free high school law invali
makes it necessary for tbe educational
authorities to make some arrangement
by which the children living in the coun
try districts shall have the same oppor
tunity for schooling that is accorded to
tbe residents of tbe cities. As tbe law
formerly existed the graduation from
eighth grade classes in any school en
titled tbe graduate pupil to enter tbe
free high school and prepare himself to
enter the State University, witbont cost
except for books and living expenses,
Since tbe free high school law has been
held invalid those pupils who do not live
in a high school district must pay tuition
for three years while preparing to enter
the university. County superintendent
Biter of Lancaster county in commenting
on the matter says:
"What the decision means is just this,"
if anyone is so fortunate as to live in a
town where there is a bigh school, be
can get a bigh school tuition free and
prepare himself for college at tbe public
expense. If he doesn't live within these
towns be can pay at least $50 for tuition
besides tbeotberexpensee fortbreeyears.
It means that tbe poor boys in tbe coun
try cannot go to tbe nign schools."
There is only one way the matter can
be satisfactorily adjusted. Tbe prepara
tory department to tbe State University
should be restored. This has only been
abandoned within tbe last two years,
It consisted of a two years preparatory
course conducted with university funds
at the State University. The expense of
such a school is not very great for tbe
reason that the same skill is uot required
of instructors in that department as is
required in tbe university proper and they
can be procured at correspondingly less
salaries. And what if it did cost? Are
not tbe farmers of this state tbe heaviest
taxpayers? And are their sons and
...... .a
daughters not entitled to tlie same
opportunities to secure an education as
those more fortunate residents of the
cities? f
The, next meeting of the board of
regeuts i in the early part of June.
Those intererested should see that some
definite action is taken iu restoring tbe
preparatory department.
In tbe educational system of the state
there should be no favored few.

There is a hitch in tbe program of tbe
European concert. Under the caption
"The Concert Pays the Piper." The Chi-
cago Times Herald bas this to say rela
tive to the situation:
(i recce has been humiliated, beaten in
battle, coerced by tbe powers, and now,
without a rag to cover her neakedness,
appears to sue for peace. It seemed so
easy a few weeks ago to say that when
"Greece, her knee in suppliance bent,"
should ask for intervention, the trouble
in tbe Levant would be over. Now tbe
powers perceive tbat they must deal
with an aroused, bloodthirsty Islam,
more difficult to control and infinitely
more dangerous than Greece could be.
Having waited two days without secur
ing the help of tho disconcerted concert,
Greece apparently seeks suicide rather
than suffer lingering death at the hands
of an unappeasable enemy.
It will require greater wisdom than
even the correspondents at Athens pos
sessand this to imagine tbe super
naturalto guess the consequences of a
refusal on the part of Turkey to aban
don tbe war at the solicitation of tbe
powers. The fear has always been, not
of a collision between Greece and Turkey
but of the disturbing of the balance that
was so nicely adjusted twenty years ago
on this peninsula. It is one thing, as
we have said, to survey a war between
the two nations with imperturbability,
another to put the bit on a victorious
oriental army, inflamed with religious
wal and in possession of aterritory long
held by their master.
The rehabilitation ol tbe sultan has
been one of the most marvelous exhi
bitions in modern history. Two months
ago be was the worst execrated ruler in
the world. lie was in as great danger
of assassination by his subjects as of
deposition by foreign powers. Today
he has regained all the confidence of his
people and is as much feared as he was
hated in western Europe. He holds tbe
"peace of Europe" in bis bands and it is
a treasure to which he is more than in
different. Greece may be utterly humiliated; she
Is now drinking the dregs of disappoint
ment. But if her people feel any satis
f net ion in revenge for insult and slight,
they most know that they have stripped
the Turkish question to the core and
forced tbe powers to face it, bet ber they
wish to or not.

tbe existing conditions of trust monop
oly, and an iniquitous financial system
which McKinley stands pledged to main
tain. There are more "smokeless chim
neys" in the United States to-day than
ever before. The American peopf
were frightened and doceived at tbe last
election. It cannot be done again.
It is sometimes urged against tbe gov
ernment ownership of railroads that tbe
employes wonld all be a part of a great
army to serve to keep a political party
in oowert indefinite!.' When it is re-
membered tbat the rail-road corpora
tions of the country went' into politics
in tbe last campaign with a pernicious
activity unparalleled, lining up solidly
with tbe gold trust ugainst tbe people,
it is evident that the argument along
tbat line against government owner
ship Is not well taken. If the govern
ment operated the railroads one politi
cal party would bave tbe same facilities
for transportation as another. The
mail for one political party in tbe last
campaign was distributed witn praeti
cally the same promptness as for the
other. There are exceptions though not
many. Tbe United States postal clerks
were not nearly so active in tbe support
of the gold standard as ware the clerks
and employes of the railroads. Their
position did not depend upon tbeir pol
iticsand among railroad employes in
many cases it did. Tbe government is
usually just in its treatment of its pa
trons. It costs a populist no more to
send a letter tban a republican. If tbe
government operated the railroads it
would cost a populist no less and no
more to travel a mile tban it would cost
any other roan. There would be les
politics in every department than at
present. The railroad legislative lobby
would be known only in history. Tbe
benefits to be derived are innumerable,
Broker Chapman of New York was
convicted in a United States court, of
contempt of tbe senate in refusing to
answer questions propounded by tbe
sugar trust investigating committee.
The court passed a very light sentence-
thirty days iu jail, not nearly so severe
as the sentence of Eugene V. Debs. Tbe
members of tbe sugar trust took tbe
matter up and urged tbat tbe president
pardon him, as be was the first to
be convicted of contempt. The trust
officials were able to secure the signa
tures of all of the senators who were
members of the committee before which
Mr. Chapman refused to testify, except
Senator Allen. Armed with this they
brought every pressure they could to
secure the pardon of Chapman by the
president. Tbe real object was not so
much to save Broker Chapman as to es
tablish a precedent by which they could
plead in the same manner and secure the
release of Haremeyer and Searies, the
president and secretary of the sugar
trust, who are now awaiting trial on the
same charge under which Chapman was
convicted. They reasoned tbat if Chap
man went to jail tbey would be forced to
go also. Labor leaders have invariably
been punished for the violation of a new
law the same as for the violation of an
old law. Trust officials should be treated
in the same manner. President McKin
ley has shown bis political wisdom in
refusing to interfere in Chapman's be
half.
The populist state auditor is making
good record in the collection of fees.
He took the office January 8 and to
May 15 inclusive had taken in $14,236.-
0 and placed the same to the credit of
tbe state of Nebraska. The receipts in
the past have amounted to only about
$10,000 to $17,000 annually; or only
$2,000 or $3,000 more than the receipts
of tbe lost (our months and a half. It is
the more surprising tbat the receipts
should be so large when it is remembered
tbat many of tbe old line insuratice
companies bave either witbdrawu from
this itate or have greatly raluced the
number of ngents which they have em-
loyed. Each ogent is required to get a
ieense from tbe auditor for which a fee
of $2.00 is charged. Consequently the
receipts should be less instead of more.
be mutual insurance companies are
getting the business that formerly went
to tbe old line companies. Asa result
they do not find business in this state as
profitable us formerly. So long as they
continue to transact businrss in this
state tbe present auditor and bis insur
ance deputy will see to it that they pity
tbe fees required, and comply with the
uw in every particular. This is not all.
lis money collected for the fees will find
it way into tbe state treasury,

Populists should appreciate tbe work
done by their representatives in both
bouses ol the national congress. Tbey
bave not let an opportunity pass toshow
bow populist beliefs, if enacted into law,
would give relief to many of tbe abuses
of tbe day. Such work must have its
effect in time. One of the last of these
instances is the passing of a resolution
through the senate, by Seuator Butler,
calling upon tbe state department to
furnish information as to the nature and
operation of the postal savings bank
systems in other countries. This will
bring the many excellent points of these
institutions before tbe legislators and
later before the people.
The coal trust tbat ha reaped mil
lions in the past year is planning to in
crease tbe price of coal on an average of
25 cents per ton. The same organ iza
tion has ordered a reduction in the
wages paid to the already starving min
ers of Tennessee. They had little more
tban bread and water to live upon be
fore the reduction. To submit meant
tbe-starvation of tbeir families, Tbey
rebelled and are out on a strike. Tbe
McKinley army tbat is designed and
organized to protect the trusts will be
bustled to the scene and capital will
bave another victory. Tbe people must
control tbe trusts or the trusts will con
trol the people. The 'populist, party is
on the side of the people.
In a speech made before a mass meet
ing at tbe Columbia theatre building in
Washington Senator Allen correctly
said there was no division in tbe popu-
ist party on the question of Cubaglib-
erty. Hedeclaied that the government
should bave a little more humanity and
Americanism and look less at tbe com
mercial aspect of the brutal war. He
said:" "If the government were to send
a squadron to Havana war would cease
in thirty days and it would not be necf s-
sary to fire a gun. If tbe United States
should say to Spain, you shall not war
upon the hospitals, upon women and
upon childhood, Weyler's ' occupation
would begone." He voiced1 the' senti
ments of every populist and every lib
erty-loving American.
It will be necessary forChicago to stop
and rest from building operations for
some time. The receipts from building
permit fees are not enough to pay the
expenses of tbe office this spring. It is
estimated tbat there are 10,000 men
connected with the building trades in
the city who cannot find employment.
But four buildings of any importance
are under construction.State Journal.
There you are. The predictions of tbe
silver forces' verified by an organ of
goldbngocracy. What, we atk, bas be
come of those large contracts that were
to be made, those buildings that were
to be erected? Aye, ye people, do ye
mind them? Will you be fooled in 1900
as you were in 1896? If you allow your
selves to, be, you deserve slavery, and
ought uot to complain at the bondage
you suffer to exist. , !
Senator Allen was the only populist
member of the senate sugar trust inves
tigating committee. He was the only
member of the committee that refused
to bow to tbe trust and request the
pardon of its criminals. With the exist
ing political conditions in the United
States, it is probable that Senator Al
len's refusal to ask for Chapman's par
dou had considerable influence with the
president in arriviug at his decision not
to grant tbe pardon. It is well known
that President McKinley had iudicated
that be would entertain a petition from
the senate committee and bad hoped
that it would be signed by all the mem
bers. Allen bas again stood up fearlessly
for the principle of the populist f party,
"equality before the law, with special
privileges for none."
The records of the state auditor's
office show that the state has lost large
sums of money each year through tbe
failure of insurance companies to make
the proper payments for charters,
agent's certificates and other fees re
quired by law. The auditor would issue
the charter and certificate without re
quiring the company to pay at the
time. Through this leniency of the state
auditor the state board bas bwn de
frauded of several thousand dollars.
The populist auditor will not have it so.
He bas decided that insurance managers
ore made of no better clay than the rest
ol mankind and will require them to
send the cash before any charter or cer
tificate to transact business in this state
will be granted. Thtsisths plalu com

To what lengths tbe republican press
and politicians went in the last cam
paign in their promises of a quick return
of prosperity is well known. But it is
really amusing now to see them twist
and contort in the efforts to "explain"
its non-arrival. But while McKinley
and bis congress are laboring bard to
bring forth an alleged revenue producer,
the wheels of speculation bave started
op the "endless chain" and its revolu
tions are becoming frightfully rapid
Within tbe last - two weeks there has
been a heavy withdrawal of gold for ex
port. Tbe Rothschilds need it to epecu
late with.
In tbe course of ordinary events there
will confront our republican friends a di
lemma, and it remains to be seen which
horu of it they will grasp. Both are
worse than grasping a live wire. One
will be as dangerous to tbeir future suc
cess as the other. A depleted treasury
and a constantly diminishing' gold re
serve will give them the choice of doing
what they said would be repudiation of
our debts, and consequently rank an
archy, or taking au eoually fatal step
by selling bonds to buy gold with which
to pay. If the policy to pay both gold
and surer s pursued, the republicans
will find themselves in the frying ' pan.
If Uiey issue bonds tbey jump square in
to tbe fire. In short, our republican
friends seem to be on the bigh road to
defeat, no matter what action thev
take.
A bill making it illegal for two politi
cal parties to nominate the same candi
date bas passed both bouses of the Illi
nois legislature. If Gov. Tanner (rep.;
signs tho bill it will become a law. Tbis
shows how important it is that the pop
ulist party shall maintain ..its organiza
tion in every state, county and precinct
in tbe United States. Under tbe popu
list banner tbe reform elements of all
political parties can be united. It will
draw asmucb support from oue politi
cal party as the other and will soon
grow to be the greatest of all, There is
not the partisan hatred that exists be
tween the other parties. Itoffers a neu
tral ground. The ridicule by tbe old
parties, so effective a short time ago,
is fast losing its force. Tbe populist
party in power bos always gained in
favor. Its business administration in
Nebraska bas won favorable comment
in tbe extreme eastern press. By the
close of tbe administration in tbis state
the east will have lost much of its pre
judice and will begin to seriously con
sider and investigate the principles of
the populist party. In that it will have
won a great victory, for study and in
tigation always results in a convert for
tbe populist party. k
Railway postal cars cost not to ex
ceed $4,000 each. They last on an av
erage over twenty years. There are
about 500 in use in tbe United States.
0;i this basis their total value would be
$2,000,000. The loss due to wean and
tear would amount to $100,000 each
year. Interest at 8 per cent on tbe in
vestment wouIJ amount to $160,000.
$40,000 would more than pay the ex
pense for repars. The total yearly cost
for the manufacture, interest on the in.
ve3tment, and repairs for postal cars
would amount to $300,000. In oneyear
the goverfittient pays to the railroads
twelve times the amount or $3,600,000
for the rent of these cars. Iu twenty
years the total cost of tbe cars to the
railroads (including interest on the in
vestment) would amount to $6,000,000.
For this expenditure the railroads would
receive $72,000,000 from the govern
ment for the mere privilege of using tbe
cars, a net profit of $06,000,000. If
the government owned and operated the
railroads such frauds could not be per
petrated. H. Wittman & Co., wholesule and re

THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE.
In an article in the New York Jour
nal last week Mr. Bryan declares that
any agreement that could be made with
the bolting, gold standard democrats
would prove disastrous to success in
1900. He asserts that the money
question will be the paramount issue
and therefore there is no ground on
which the two democratic organizations
can meet. In his opinion there can be
no permanent peace between the two
factions, not even a truce without a ces
sation of hostilities, and a cessation of
hostilities means the preservation, of
existing conditions. He says bimetal
lism can only be restored by affirmative
action. Therefore any compromise
must be at tbe expense of the advocates
of bimetallism. He points out that
there is nothing to indicate that the
leaders among the gold democrats fot 1
any more kindly toward the regular
organization tbau they did six months
ago. "Iu fact,' he says, "it is only a
few days., since the most conspicuous
met at the Waldorf dinner, and not only
paid homage to the golden imago which
they have eet up, but breathed out
threatenings and slaughter against tbe
greenbacks and treasury notes."
Tbe people of tbe United States are
watching tho struggle between the fac
tions of tbe democratic party with great
interest. There is no question that tbe
Bryan wing 6f the democratic party ;'s
sincerb in its advocacy of free silver coin
age. But the people, know that tbe free
coinage of silver will bring only partial
relief. What will be tbe position of the
"New democracy" in regard to national
banks, postal saving banks, govern
ment ownership of railroads,"telcgraph
and telephones? What position will it
take in regard to the adoption of the
principle of the initiative and referen
dum? Will it favor coin redemption
money, or will it go on record as saying
that each dollar of tbe government
should stand by itself and be as good as
every other dollar? Will it favor na
tional legislation to prohibit trust mo
nopoly and capitalistic combinations?
Will they favor a graduated income tax
and take the proper steps to secure its
enactment into law? In his letter Mr.
Bryan says that ''agreement in opinion
is the essential thing in a party." If
.the Bryan democracy expects any as
sistance from the populists it must place
itself on record as unquestionably in
favor of all these needed reforms.
