THE NERBASKA INDEPENDENT
From the North End.
Tbe candidate for county commissioner
for this county for this campaign should
come from the northern part of tbe
county. There,, are many good popu
lists living in that district, in precincts
' that have always given large majorities,
for the populist ticket. Mr. A. . Suth
erland, a resident of Mill precinct, will
be a leading candidate. He is one of the
best known populists Iu the county,
baring served for five or six years as a
S member of the conty central committee.
It has been dne largey to his efforts that
till precinct has for many years given a
majority vote for tbe candidates of tbe
rsople's party. Mr. Sutherland will
have the unanimous support of bis own
precinct and will have splendid support
from Waverly and other localities. His
trims are active and -if successful in
searing tbe nomination, will put op as
rood a caimraign for election as any can
d. "ate that could be chosen. Mr. Suth
erland is a young man, temperate in bis
habits, thoroughly honest and as a mem
bsr of tbe board of county comm insion
en would guard tbe interests of tbe tax
payers carefully.

Inheritance of Wealth.
A little more than a century ago the
thirteen colonies became free and inde-
pendent states. To gain this freedom
they had bumbled the king of nations.
The world anxiously watched their strug
gle for right and liberty; it has more
anxiously watched their progress since.
Tbe separate independent states united
to form a republic that would secure to
its citizens, justice, equality, and those
inalienable rights endowed them by tbe
Creator. Their only property was a

t luxury and no destitution.
In those early days, when each roan

and produced tbe wealth upon which be
lived; hen each woman sat by the fire
side in tbe evening, singing and turning
her spinning wheel; in those days our
homes were happy, our people patriotic,
and our country prosperous. Tbe out

' .velous progress of the republic which
they founded stands as a monument to
their intellectual ability. From the
weakest and poorest of nations it has
risen to tbe strongest and wealthiest.
It has become tbe model for all modern
civilization. It has demonstrated to
tbe world, tbe right of independence, the
gloies of citizenship, and the injustice
01 slavery.
There is anotner problem of no
less magnitude and imoortance than
' those which we bave already settled,
that demands our attention. Tbe equal
-distribution of wealth lias never been ac
complished. Tbere were slaves and mas
ters in Greece, There were plebs and patri
cians in Home, There are tbe poor and
the millionaires in America. The safety
of our republic demands that we avoid
the rapids that shattered Greece and
Home. Toe natural wealth of this coun
try, the arable land of the west, that has
supported our citizens so well in the
past, will soon be gone; will be ownqd by
hnghsh syndicates and American mil'

He can spend his summer months pleas
antly roaming among the mountains
idly viewing the wonders of nature; the

Such great differences in condition
should not exist in a government where
tbe constitution guarantees to all equal
rights and privileges. A mun has a
right to property which is the fruits of
11 in own exertions, nun piojmriy or
wealth so acquired he may da whatever
he chooses, so long as he does not use it
detrimental to society, or infringe upon
the rights of others. What right has
the son to all the millions of his father?
lie has not produced tbe wealth, and
his title can be no better than the rest
of mankind. True, he bas been a joy
and a comfort to his father lu times of
grief, but that should not entitle him to
live forever In Idleness. The poor man's
son has been just as much comfort to
his father bas done society just as
much good, and should receive tbe same
privihrfft and opportunities us bis more
fortunate brother. The son tins no more
right to inherit bis dither's wealth thau
to succeed to a public ottlee held by his
father. In feudal times people were con
sistent and allowed the soif to inherit
both to become a lord in parliament
and owner of an estate. We have abol.

But a bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed, can never be sup
plied."
But how are great differences of wealth
and position brought about? How are
vast fortunes acquired and maintained?
A single example w:li suffice, lbs money
paid by the king of England, from public
taxes, to a tyrannical ruler, for the
services of the Hessian soldiers, in the
Revolutionary war, formed tbe starting
of the great Rothschild fortune. By ex
acting usurious interest and entering in
to loaning combinations, they have In
creased this blood money to its present
enormous amount. The condition ol
Egypt stands as an example of their
heartless land cruelty in dealing with
debtors. The country is ao badly in
debt that it must eventually be divided
among its creditors; tbeKotbscbilds get
ting too greater portion. Over one
half of tbe earnings of tbe Egyptian peo
ple are paid out each year as debt
charges to satisfy tbe greed of English
and French capitalists. Have not the
days of slavery returned? How long
can anationendure such taxation? How
long can a country pay such tribute to
tbe Motntcnild fortune?
To preserve their name, their class
distintion, and to keep this wealth to
gether, the Rothschilds compel their
heirs to marry within certain family
limits, or to persons of a certain high
financial standing. It is in this way
that tbe wealth is banded down from
generation to generation, and tbe Roth
chiids are enabled to live in the height
of splendor without contributing one
iota to tbe wealth of tbe state.
Tbe Rothschild fortune is but a single
example of many fortunes that bave
been amassed, and are being controlled
undr tbe present law of inheritance. It
is this concentration and perpetuation of
large estates that is a danger and a
menace to tbe state. Tbe right of inher
itance if allowed to remain, unlimited,
will always produce and preseve such
inequalities. I hat able financier, Jay
Gould, has left wealth and property to
bis oldest son that gives him tremen-
dous advantages over all bis competi
tors. Tbe law bas not secured to all
equal chances for success. Unless the
law is radically changed, the chances
of success for the poor roan's son, in tbe
next generation, will be still less, and
so it will go on, tbe Rock fellers, Astors,
Goulds and Vanderbiits, win soon be to
this country bat "dukes, lord, baro
nets, are to England a wealthy aris
tocracy, parasites upon society.
In Ireland, unhappy Ireland, we see
the outcome of such a condition ol
things. Gradually, and under the cover
of law, tbe English capitalists bave
gained possesion of so much of the land,
and wealth 01 the country tnat the con
dition of Irish laborers is no better than
the condition of Russian serfs. They
lie helpless; slaves to English wealth. If
we would pront by Ireland s misfortune;
if we would restrain the hungry capital
ist and protect American laborers, we
must do something at once to check the
accumulation and perpetuation of large
estates. The nations of tno old world
are watching with expectation. In our
own country tbe black cloud of strife is
gathering. Capital is rapidly strength
ening its ranks by monopolies and
trusts. Labor is organizing and pre
paring for tbe fray. How can the storm
be averted? Where is the justice of our
government? '
Two children born today, tne one of
lofty parentage, the other of lowly; tbe
one surrounded by luxury and wealth,
the other by poverty and want. Neither
is responsible for bis birth place. Both
are American citizens, entitled to equal
chances for succes. Tbe state cannot
rightly favor either. Ability as often
belongs to tbe child of poverty as to tbe
child of wealth. To-morrow the children
are heirs; tbe one to a life of ease and
luxury, to all that money can secure;
the other to a life of labor and servitude,
with barely enough to eat and to wear.
Thus tbe futures of the two are are de
termined before either bus done any
thing for or against society. Is such a
condition of things justf The condition
of tbe man that is born to live and labor
under the taunts of a "boss" in a rich
man's factory receiving the bare necess
ities of life is scarcely better than a
slave. The condition of the savage is
preferable. He has all that such a
laboring man bas, and in addition, the
dearest and best of all things, bis free
dom. If the right of inheritance is destroyed,
what shall bo done with the heritage?
To give it to tbe rich would increase the
inequality and be worse than useless.
To parcel it out among tbe poor would
be the height of folly; for it would make
them careless and shiftless. But why
should it not revert to the state and
be used in public improvements, to pro
mote the general welfare, secure the
blessings of liberty, and lessen the bur
den of taxation. If it bad not been for
the law and protection afforded by the
state, its accumulation would have been
impossible. Uncivilized people never
have millionaires. It is by taking ad
vantage of tho law and privileges af
forded by society, to monopolize some
natural production or in some way ap
propriate the wealth produced by oth
ers, that fortunes roll up into nulliouN
ince society has so greatly aided the
Individual in the acquisition of wealth,
has it not a proportionate right In the
disposal of Hint wealth? Theindividual
bas been sutllciently rewarded for bis
labors by having had the complete con
trol of the wealth during his life. After
his death it makes no difference to him
what is done with the estate, but it
makes a vast difference to those who
rmiie after hiri, to society. It is the sur
viving we rousi protect, not the dead.
The controlling of property must be left
to I fie living, not to the dying.
The effect ol a law limiting ins right
of Inheritance, and making the surplus
of all estate revert to the stats, would
be to change the standard o( the ambi

The Free High School Law.
When tbe free attendance) high school
law was enacted in 1895, making a con
necting link between our public schools
and the state university, it was con
ceded by the friends of education gener
ally that it was a step in the right direc
tion, and during its short existence it
grew steadily in favor with the masses
of the people.
Among our rural schools where we
find maany of onr brightest intellects,
many boys and girls who never dared to
dream of a high school education, much
less of a university course, at ones saw
tbe way possible for both. , No single
act of oar legislature ever aroused tbs
pupils of Nebraska to such exertions, or
brought forth better results in the gram
mar school, and it was having its influ
ence all the way down through the
grades. They too saw a future before
them that was never so bright before,
Tbe farmer boys and girls were looking
forward to tbe time when they eould fin
ish tbe common school course and enter
the village high school. It has been re
marked frequently, and the remark was
well founded, that so small a number of
those who complete tbe grammar grade,
enter tne nigb school. Tne grammar
grade has certainly been tbe intellectual
bone yard for many boys and girls, and
who knows:
How many "mute inglorious Miltons
here may rest."
How many "Cromwell's, guiltless of
their country's blood."
This law was designed to remedy such
evils and we believe it was bearing legiti
mate fruit as my be shown by ti e ans
wers to a circular letter sent out by
State Superintendent Jackson to schools
in different parts of tbe state. Uu an
average tbe attendance of non-resldeut
high school pupils has been nearly dou
bled during the two years. Notwith
standing the fact that this law has been
decided . unconstitutional we bone tbe
court may yet find it possible to reverse
1L.1 J ' ' J !i iL- I A.
lum uuvision sou iierinit me law 10
stand, If it does not it will undoubtedly
be remodeled so as to meet tbe views of
the court and be reenacted by the next
legislature, for it has such a hold on the
people of Nebraska that no legislature
w U dare refuse . With this law ones
established and in operation and the
faculty of the university making such
efforts as are now being made to put
themselves In closer contact with tbe
public school teachers of the state
Nebraska will become an educational
center equalled by few and excelled by
none.

Any honest physician will tell you
that there is bat one way to get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to tbe contrary notwithstand
ing. Nature has bnt one way to Increase
flesh, strength and vigor of mind and
body, and that is through the stomach
by wholesome food well digested. There
is no reason or common sense in any
other method whatever.
People are thin, ran down, nervous,
pale and shaky in their nerves, simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think tbey bave dyspep
sia, but tbe fact remains that they do
not eat enough food or what tbey eat is
not quickly and properly digested as it
should be.
Dr. Harlandson says the reason is be.
cause the stomach locks certain digest
ive no'.ds and peptones, and deficient se
cretion of gastric Juice.
Nature's remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect

Bays He Is Not an Anarchist and Tells
Who Are tha Lawlee Element Inci
dent In a Stormy Career Working Maw
la tha Field as! Co-operation.
"Am I an anarchist? By no means. "
Hon. Davis H. Waite, ex-governor of
Colorado and hero of tbe famon ' 'Blood
to the Bridles" story, the man whom
tbe people of the United States call
a fanatio or a patriot according to their
leanings, said this with the unmistaka
ble emphasis of sincerity. -
"Anarchist means without law. An
anarchist is one who acta oontrary to
laws. I deny that I belong in that class,
especially since, if thns olassifind, I
would be foand insuuh, bad company.
"There are the bankers. They are the
leading anarchists of tbe country. Keep
tn mind my definition of anarchista
These bankers know that tbe constitu
tion of the United States says nnequiv
ooally that congress shall coin tbe mon
ey of the country. They know, too, that
the supreme court of the United States
decided in 188 that greenbacks were
issued under the clause of the constitu
tion authorizing oongress to Issne mon
ey; that, it is money, and that it fills
the requirement of a circulating medium
of exchange. Despite this, national
banks issue their own notes, which are
of the nature of interest drawing loans,
in violation of law.
"The railroad companies are anarch
ists. The courts have decided that rail
roads are common carriers and that
common carriers may not discriminate
against any class of customers. If you
wore to ride in a stage coach 'the same
distance a fellow traveler did, tbe driver
would have no right to charge yon
$1.60 and the other $1. That is a paral
lel case. Yet tbe railroad companies do
discriminate in the granting of rebates
and by other onjust methods.
"The courts of tbe United States are
anarchists. Tbe constitution of onr
oonntry, from which tbey durive their
authority, says In substance that there
ball be no arrests without warrants
and no trials without juries. Yet there
are trials without Jury and arrests with
out warrants.
"Congress is an anarchistio body. Its
action in arranging for an International
monetary conference proves this. It asks
foreign powers"-here Colorado's ex
governor drew a deep breath and ex
claimed in a tone of disgust, "for
God's sake countries like Belgium, the
Netherlands, Swedon and Switzerland,
that are controlled by the gold power,
to hold a conference to decide whether
the United States may adopt bimetal
lism. "The biggest anarchist thia country
ever held was Grover Cleveland, vflio
sent an army into Illinois without a call
from tho governor or legislature of that
state. The constitution says that troops
shall not be sent into a state unless a
call has been made by the legislature,
or, if that be not in session, from the
governor. Yet this man sent troops un
called for into Chicago when they were
neither wanted nor needed."
Tho most famous of Colorado'! gov
ernors does not look the truculent war
rior be is said to be. He is a mild man
nered old gentleman, whose bout figure
and snowy hair are the only indications
that age claims him as her own. He is
tall and spare ami carries his head far
forward, as though a "brown study"
were his normal condition. His features
are delicate for tho masculine order;
his eyes small and blue and piercing,
though with a certain benignant expres
sion, which his silver bowed spectacles
soniowhat enhance. He has the healthy,
apple glow OHcribed by old fashioned
noveliHts to their heroines. ' His white
beard is short and uneven. His clothing
is scrupulously neat His coat is fresh
from the brush and his linen faultier,
his tie correct. He wears no jewelry
except a modest gold watch chain, from
which hangs the silver souvenir of the
Populist convention held in Omaha in
1892.
His voice is gentlo and low toned as
a woman's, a well bred woman's at
least. His manner in conversation ia as
gentle as his voice. There is nothing
suggestive of the fuliuinutor about him.
Everything denotes a kindly old scholar,

He was elected governor of Colorado
on tbe Omulm platform iu I8U2; but,
said he, " the legislature was not a
Populist body, and as a couscquetice 1
could do little in my executive cupuci

been Populist except iu so fur as tbe
free coinage of silver was concerned.
The other reform principles have al

when election day came ' the churches
voted witlr. tbe saloons, and I was de
feated." Ex Governor Waite does not regard
himself as a radical He has establish
ed friendly communication with Eu
gene Debs and General Coxey. but has
not adopted their theories or methods.
"Debs is an honest man," he said.
"I am his friend, but I would not go as
far as he does. I hear be has gone into
socialism lately. I believe that Coxey
is a good mau. I think his bond system
is right, but I am not with him in all
his positions. "
Then he evolved conversationally bis
own plan for tbe betterment of at least
a portion of battling, grudging, restless,
discontented humanity.
"Aransas Pass, Tex., one of the docp
harbor towns, 100 miles from Galves
ton, is an inviting spot from a commer
cial and industrial standpoint, " he said,
"I am told that Sabine Pass, Tex., is
equally gifted. I contemplate establish
ing or helping to establish colonies
there. ' It is that errand which has
brought me here and will take me to
other large cities during tbe next three
weeks.
"Don't believe it when yon hear I am
a communist. I don't believe in com

instance of the kind of co-operation T
mean.
"At Greeley, Grand Junction, La
Junta and Delta in my state they raise
fruit on irrigated land. Fruit growers
cowblue and ship their fruit by the car
load, which in itself saved much of the
expense of smaller shipments, Tbey
scud one of tliofr number to tbe larger
cities to ascertain which is the best
market. In this way tbey make the most
advantageous sales, and common bene
fits result. I would like to see colonies
locate at the Texas points I mentioned
and establish snob co-operation, which
I think is the only practicable kind.
There ia a degree of interest in the plan
here and in other cities I have visited. "
The ex-governor of tbe Mountain
State is fully aware of the fact that
"blood to the bridles" has become a
synonym of his name.
"Preachers have inveighed against
me for origiuuting a phrase that was
calculated to create rebellion," said he.
"The ignorant creatures seem to bave
no idea of the fuct that I got it from
the book they profess to hold sacred and
quoted it as a figure of speech. It la

"I made that outrageously misrepre
sented speech before the. State Silver
league convention at Denver, July 11,
1803. Here is the paragraph in which
the quotation occurs. " He drew a news
paper clipping from bis memorandum
book and read:
" 'The war has begun. It is tha same
war which muHt always be waged
against oppression and tyranny to pre
serve the liberties of mau, that eternal
warfare of monarchy and monopoly
against the right of the people to self
government, and which, during the
last century, has so conquered the mass
es as to reduce to pauperism the "com
mon people" of almost every nation un
der heaven except the United States.
Our weapons are argument and the bal
lot "A free ballot and a fair count"
And if tbe money power shall attempt
to sustain its usurpation by the "strong
hand" wo will meet that issue when it
is forced upon os, for it is better -infinitely
better that "blood should flow
to the horses' bridles" rather than" our
national liberties should be destroyed. '
"Tho worst feature of the outlook fur"
liberty is the indifference the people
feel to the ballot," said thia earnest
scholar politician at parting. "Govern
or Altgeld is convinced that he was
counted out by fraud. William J. Bry
an believes he was in the doubtful
states. I am of the opinion that I met
the same fute. Tbe tendency and tbe
hope lie in that these conditions will
become so pluin that they cannot be
gainsaid. Then, and not till then, may
we expect true liberty. " Interview in

Singularly, tho New York Herald
agrees with Senator Tillman. Tho Her

"It is not in evidence that Chapman

principals, with a wink, remark, 'Never
