LINCOLN,
IS IT A DELI BEBATIVE BODY?
Tbe house of representatives has in
the popular mind been looked upon as
tbe most representative branch of our
government. The senate has been much
abused as a millionaire club as an ar
istocratic body far removed from the
interests of the people. But today the
senate is tbe only branch of our govern
where the voice of the people can be
heard, and where tbeir inter
ests can be in the least protected. The
house is rufcd and dominated by
one man a roan who stands on the side
of monopoly and trusts, and would have
been a tory if hi had lived in 1776. It
is not stranire that there should be a
few such men in conrres, but it is very
strange that the representatives of
tbe people would submit to a system of
p irules which places in one man's hands
Jthe will and powpr of the whole body.
lirhe rules of the senate allow free speech;
the rules of the house deny free speech
except to the puppets and favorites of
the speaker. This explains why the mo
nopoly organs are now crying out
against the rules of the senate. When
monopolies can have one of their repre-
' eentatives iu the white bouse, and then
.... 1 j
have each body of congress presiaea
over by one pf their representatives, and
tbe rules giving unlimited power to tbe
j presiding officers, then monopoly will
run every branch of government with a
' veneeance. and tbe people will have no
recourse.
" Maintain your populist organizations,
in every precinct, village, city, county,
state and in the nation. The populist
party is the greatest of all political
parties. It has originated all genuine
reforms. It has won the confidence of
the people and holds the balance of
power in the United States. It draws its
membership alike from the democrat
and republican parties. It is fast be
coming the dominant party in the na
tion. Sometimes It is necessary to join
with one of the old parties to secure
some particular end, but to do this it is
neither necessary nor advisable to aban
don any part of the populist organiza
tion. It is tbe union of two armies to
whip a common foe. In the south it is
nopulista and a certain class of republi
cans against the democrats; in the north
it is populists and a certain class of
democrats against the republicans. The
populist party shares in all the victories.
It has no north, no south, 00 east, no
west. Populism will spread from the At
lantic to the Pacific, from tbe gulf to
Canada. No party ever held such a com
manding position. Maintain your pop
ulist organisations in all its details.
As the fall campaign will soon be on
it seems about time the populist party
was Rising some consideration to tbe

MILLS WILLSBDTDOWN
The Great Cotton Mills in Massa
chusetts Will Close for
Three Months.
NO DIVIDENDS TO DECLARE
Earnings of Mills Less During the
Last Quarter than Ever
Before.
No Prosperity in Might.
Boston, May 27 A' movement
which is expected to develop into a
more or less general curtailment of
production among New England cot
ton mills is to be inaugurated next
month by the mills of the Dwight
Manufacturing company at Chicopee,
Mass., the Lyman company at Hol
yoke, Mass. and the Great Falls Man
ufacturing company at Summers worth,
N. H. The officials of these mills give
as the reason for the step the present
unsatisfactory state of tha cotton
goods markets. All the mills in ques
tion are enraged in the manufacture
of sheeting, shirting and drills, are
capitalized in the aggregate at f 4,1 70,
000, and operate 330,000 spindles and
about 9,00 looms. The curtailment
will probably last during June, July
and August
It la thought to be net unlikely that
the great Amoskeag corporation of
Manchester, N. EL, may take actieh in
the matter at the coming meeting of
directors, and that the Fall River
mills will see the wisdom of falling
into line, as they aid laat July.
Advocates of a general shut down
point to the socager showing made in
the report of the dividends paid 'by
the mills for the laat quarter, from
which it appears that thirty-eight
corporations have paid to stockholders
1191,150, or aa art rage of H of 1 per
cent 00 a capital of 121,183,000. This
is on of the slimmest showings in the
history of tbe business and indicates
that the surplus acconnte from which
dividends have been drawn in the past
have either been vsed u or needed
for other purposea
Fifteen of the mills, among which
some are so equipped aa to produce
goods economically under the stress
of hard times, have passed their divi
dends entirely, and the stockholders
in every other Instance have had to be
satisfied with about the smallest dlvb
dead possible.

CUBAN
RESOLUTION
Passes the Senate by a Large Major
ity. Vote Forty-one to
Fourteen.
INACTION OF THE HOUSE.
Senator Teller Gives His Views of
the Position Taken by the
Administration.
Committee Report the Tariff 11111.
The long and exciting debate on the
joint resolution recognizing a state of
war in tuba, and declanne that strict
neutrality shall be maintained by tbe
United States, passed the senate by . he
decisive vote of 41 to 14 last Friday.
The announcement of the vote was re
ceived with tumultuous applause, which
drew from Senator Hawley a protest.
uesoivea, mat a condition of public
war exists between the iroverument of
Spain and the government proclaimed
ana lor some time maintained by force
of arms by the people of Cuba, and that
the United States of America shall main
tain a strict neutrality between tbe con
tending parties, according to each and
all the rights of belligerents in tbe ports
and territory of the United States.
Tbe vote on tbe . final passage of the
resolution was as follows:
YEAS.
Bacon. Kenney.
Baker. Lindsay.
Bate. McBride.
Berry. Mantle.
Butler. Mason.
Carter. Mills.
Chandler. Morgan.

NAYS. '
Allison, Hawley.
Burrows. Hoar.
Caffery. Soonner.
Fairbanks. Wellington.
Gear. Wet more.
Hale. White.
Hauna. Wilson. 14.
An analysis of the vote shows that the
affirmative was cast by eighteen republi
cans, nineteen democrats and four pop
ulists ana tne negative by twelve repub
lican' end two democrats.
Prior to the final vote tbe motion of
Senator Hale to refer the resolution to
the committee on foreign relations was
tabled, yeas 34, nays lw.
Tbe resolution will go to the house at
once but will not be acted upon tliis
week. That is tbe decision of the renub
lican leaders. The president desires de
lay, ana speaker Heed and tbe commit
tee on rules will assist him in aettiutr ft.
They have decided to block tbe resolu
tion until tbe plans of tbe president are
duly known. The populists and a large
number of tbe democrats will demand
action but Reed is in a position to con
trol the matter and prevent a vote as
long as tbe republican members will aid
him. If the minority attempt to force
an immediate consideration tbe repub
licans will adjourn for a period of three
days. The plan seems to be to appro
priate the 50,000 for relief of Ameri
cans in Cuba and then smother the Mor
gan resolution in the house. American
creditors of Spain have a strong lobby
on hand to prevent any action favorable
to Cuba. They fear that tbe recognition
of the island by the United States would
depreciate the value of Spanish bonds.
It is influence of this character that is
causing tbe inaction on the part of the
president.
Speaking of the probable action of the
House in relation to the Cuban resolu
tion Senator Teller ' expressed the opin
ion that whihp'tbe t-nmhbers' the'
House were undoubtedly-ia,favor. oi
passing tbe resolution yet tbe influ
ence of the president would be suffi
cient to defeat the will of the members.
lie said:
"This administration is too cowardlv
to do anything. It is afraid of offending
Spain. Tbe passage of that resolution
does not mean anything at all except
that tbe president cannot control the
senate as he does tbe House. It will be
defeated in tbe House as sure as it gets
there.
Reed will say it shall not pass, tbe
president will say it shall not nass.
llanna will say It shall not pass aad the
truckling republicans in tbe house shall
yield. It doeo not matter at all what
the private opinions of tbe members be.
Itisevideut that the administration
is entering on a foreign policy as con
temptible and pussilanimous as that of
Cleveland was. It is a shame but there
is no help for it. The people can only
speak through their representatives and
they are dominated absolutely by the
administration. I cannot conceive of
any public demount rations vigorous
enough to have any effect on the presi
dent' s jiolicy."
The republiran members of the eea
ate have been caucusing to decide upon
tbe proper menus to ptireue in pnaMing
the tariff bill through thesenate. There
are som dimcultim between thetaatern
and weatrrn members concerning some

The Proper Sepulchre .
Plattsmouth, Neb., May 20, '97.
Editor Indrpendent:
Dkab Sir Being of a rather liberal
mind, also tainted to a very small degree
with a' desire to assist my fellow man
wheal realise that duty to my country
demands it, I am resolved, after being
frequently reminded that the "old sbip is
leaking" (has leaked vigorously) deter,
mined to suggest to the "unterrifled" a
very feasible plan, to my mind, for hold
ing their next state convention.
Ibese suggestions that I will make are
tbe outgrowth ot a pure philanthropic
sentiment that it would be treason, to
my mind, to suppress. The G. 0. P.
seems in sore need of tender care and a
great deal of dehannahization;.in other
words, retrenchment. Seeing then that
they have no pie counter and no state
revenue to draw from, my suggestion is
that tbeir next state convention be
held at some place near their leaders.
which would minimize car fare to those
compelled to attend, of course John U.
r. Inurston, Grandma Thayer, Church
Howe, Tom Majors and Bud Lindsey
would have to be present, but ar, John
has "bought" himself such a mine cur
since be became a Union Pacific senator,
oui 01 nis nrsti year's salary (why don't
Allen get one too from bis salary?) he
might make arrangements to let those
worthies ride with hi in, and as the re
mainder of tbe leaders will be at Lan
caster before the next convention will be
called I would suggest that they call
their convention there those not eu
titied to be present with credentials from
some court of record might vote by
proxy. Of course, if Warden Leidigh ob
jected to holdiug the convention in the
penitentiary the supreme court could
issue the, necessary orders, I hardly
think Mr. Leidigh would object under
the circumstances, for . there , will be
Bartley, Moores, Moore, Bollin. et al,
tbe very flowers of tbe party, and it may
be the Hon. Mr. Moaner may also be
there.
These suggestions are only made be
lieving it to be the sentiment of the
leading republicans in this place who are
interested in reform. I hope that some
steps may soon be taken that will con
centrate their force and we can tbink of
no more secure place than in the pen,
which is being crowded by the heroic
action of newly elected servants.
We believe as you are publishing a pa
per for tbe masses that these suggestions
will be beneficial. I would be pleased to
hearjroin others on this momentous
qupHtion, as I am deeply interested in a
suitable sepulchre for the remains.
Very truly, B. D. H.
