The editor of Nebraska republican
weeklies senn to be very short on ideas.
A glance at their tutorial columns
allow that It usually tut Ins than
half n column to print nil that they can
think up lu a whole week.
"Homo odd hilt a baby on outdoor

Tb only thing erioualy troubling

Editor Cbapolle evldeutly twdleve that
whan a pop writer la forced to go after a

Th morn one thinka of that borne of

made by tha republican, tha more die

had anything to do with it. Governor
Crounae was the beat man tue repuon.
can ever elected governor, No charge
ofdlahoneaty waa ever made againat
l.lm l,v anv one. The following ia what
be aald about that matter In one of bia
tiiAmiiidtM to the leKialature.
"In the report of the commiaaioner 01
rmhllfi land and building, attention ia
itd to tha foci that the board of pur-
chaae ond auppliea and o! public lano
nnl biiildliiirn. adooted certain ruioa
dealgnaU'd to apjily to the tualm-
iriifiMiictioiu of all inatltution witn
which the.? have to deal. While the
head of all fimtltutioua, except the
hnmafor tha friend leaa, complied readily
with the regulation, that Inatltution
rebelled and brought the matter before
ih.nriiirta. The law governing that In
atltution I very Imperfect. Itahould
be amended ao that it management
would be brought In harmony with the
nthera. The atata aunplle nearly all
the mean for it euppori and there ia
do reaaon why it abould not be Hold in

It la proven by a republican governor
that tha manager of that Inatltution
havealwaya been rebel to the elate,
Thev never were th dlalntoreatod pa
triot that they tried to make them,
aelvea out to be during the campaign.
In the next campaign they will try aomo
thing Juat n dlareputable. A I way keep
on guard.

Thcro ia growing up among heavy tax
payer a demand for the public owner-
elilii of municipal franchise. They do
mand In it the hope that it will result in
transferring some of their taxea to the
ahouldera of those who ride ou the atreet
cure. They know that If the city owua
the line a heavy revenue could by that
mean be secured to the city even after
Nome reduction In 'be fare. Iy mak
ing that revenue a public fund, it would
by that much reduce tho tax levy. By
that arrangement tbe rich would es
cape much of taxation and it would bo
transferred to those who paid Jure for
riding on the atreet car. Nothing
could bo more inequitable than such a
ay atom a that. Topuliat demand the
public ownership of the street car lines,
but they also demand that the fure shall
be reduced to the point that will pay
operating expenses and keeping the cur
and truck In good repair.
AMERICAN ailll'l INO,
It look aa though aome of the popu
list papers are being taken iu with the
Mark Huuuu printed matter that is sent
to them concerning American shipping.
Once America was well in the front in
the number of ships that salted the seu(
but a decline aet in, Why did American
ahlppirig decline? There I but one
reason for it. It wa the tariff aystem
that wa Introduced during the war and
which ha been pursued ever since.
Ship could be built so much clieujier In
Fnglnnd that we could not compete
with her for the ocean carrying trade
and she got It nearly all. Ameiicune
were forbidden to buy ships abroad.
American register were denied them,
The result of this foolish policy, which
waa to favor a few politician who
owned some ship yards, wa ta drive
American capital into investment In
foreign owned ahlos, and today ships
owned by Americana are sailing the sen
by corc under foreigu flags. This
echeme Introduced into Congress by
Mark Hanua to vote large subsidies to
ahlp owner ia a ateal of the biggeat
kind. What ia wanted i a law that
will prevent the steel trust from forcing
American ehip huildera to pay them
more for their atee) and iron than they
ae the aame for to England. In other
words, aboliab the tariff on steel and
Iron.
The National Himetallist remarka
that:
"All the bunking schemes put forth by
the so-called sound money men contem
plate the securing of the bank notes by
tho government. It seem 1 hat, accord
ing to their ideas, a bank note secured
by the government is perfectly safe,
while a note issued by the government
ia unsafe ami unsound. In other words,
the government is a good surety, but
not a good principal."
Now the reason why the government
note is not just aa "sound" when the
government is tbe Issuer and the princi
pal in tha trananct Ion a when It goea
aecurity for aome bank that issuea it, 1
one of thosa thing tliut no pop hna ever
been utile to And our. The republican
editors keep tha reason for It to them-i-lve
and wou't tell anybody, lent! of
all will they lull a pop. In that matter
they ara very alflU and unkind. lo
they want ua to pay them for that In
form V Ion? All right. The Imih-kn-hkst
will eutcrlhe a dollar for the pur
poas of ruining a fund tobuy that reaon.

TUATitUSSIAN LOAN.
The gold bug fakers who run the great
dailies got op a story that Russian
agent were in this couutry negotiating
a 150,000,000 loan. Then they weDt
into hysterics on that proposition and
declared that we were no longer a debtor
nation but were lending money to all
the world. Even some of tbe magazines
took up the cry and began shoutiug for
imperialism and the gold standard
louder than ever. The whole thing was
a lie made out of whole cloth. There
wa no Russian agent In tbe United
Stutes soliciting u loan. The Russian
financial minister ha given out a state
ment that RusMja is not solicitiug a loan
In tho United States or In any other
couutry and does not want to borrow
money at all. That statement will not
pruvent the republican papers from con
tinuing to announce that tbe United
Slate has suddenly become the creditor
nation, although last week It was the
greatest di btor In the world, and that
the gold standard did It. Tho aiseruble
mass of Ignorance that makes up by far
the greater portion of its voter will be
liove every word of It.
FOK ANNEXATION,
The populists say to tho imperialist
who claim that Jefferson was ono of their
kind, if they will show up a country like
the one that Jefferson annexed we will
all go in for annexation. It must be in
tho temperate tone, rich In gold, silver,
opper, coal and nil other sort of miner
als, It must not be practically unin
habited and the land of greut fertility,
ao that our sons can emigrate there and
build up freo home for thomolve Hud
their children, It must not bo thous
finds of miles away across tho setis but
loin our own territory, so that us it In
crease In population new slates can be
added to our glourlou union. That Is
the kind of annexation that Jefferson
favored and we are all for it now Just us
the lovers of liberty were for it In the
day of tho fathers,
The utter uelcsucs of the Associated
I'ress us a purveyor of news we demon
strated again lust week. All the people
of the whole northwest was anxious to
leiirn what wusdoueatthatextruseMHion
of the Kansas legislature, but the Asso
ciated IVess has been as mum asun
oyster and sent us nothing. However
we may all feel pretty sure that there
wus nothing done which Murk Ilanna
can use to injure the populist purty, for
in that cane he would have bud columns
of stuff sent to dailies all over the United
State.
It is about time we hud another chap
ter of political economy of that peculiar
kind dispensed by tho Chicago University
through I'rof. Laurence Laughlin. The
last chapter was on the propriety of
turning over the control of tbe volume
of paper money to a syndicate of bank
ers. Now that tbe whole American peo
pie have rat down upon It, regardless of
party or previous condition of servitude,
we should have another chapter of the
plutocratic, gold bug political economy,
juat to keep up our interest in the thing.
Tho Iniiepknuknt wants Father Sny
der to come to Lincoln right away and
hold a continuation. It wunt to find
out what Is the proper thing to any
when the type setters will make you say
things you never thought of, and insist
that the unme of the chairmen of tbe
populist state committee is "G ffeu" and
not "(iafllu'' as they did Inst week.
Father Snyder write about the best Kn-
glish of anybody in Nebrsska and he
could certainly tell exactly what words
should be ned on such occasious.
"Hardy's Column" will be found on
tbe eighth puge this week by thosa who
muy look for it here.

Scheme and schemers in the legisla
tureImperialism a hard road to
travel Trouble in the Philippines
Gomez threaten to fight if tbe Ameri
can policy is not chauged Wants bis
soldier paid Gen. Wood and Gen.
Henry have no trouble A grateful
people Meiklejohn'a last fib.
The first offlclal nctof Governor Poyn
terwas to remove Mr. Hoxie7 superin
tendent of the reform school at Kearney,
and the appointment of Mr. Sprecker,
who until recently wa editor of the
Schuyler Quill to succeed him. There
seems to have been some disagreement
between the superintendent and some of
the employee that lend up to the change.
Mr. Hoxie ha occupied the position for
only two year.
General Henry Is keeping up his record
lu I'orto Klco as a reformer and civilizer
of the first quality. He ha called a con
vention of the Porto llicans to deliber
ate upon the affairs of the island and
specified that it shall be composed
equally of member of both parties.
There are two partle there, oue callod
liberal and the other radical. After this
convention be propose to have an elec
tion and allow every man to vote who
can read and write or who pay taxes,
Henry fa on the right truck.
Mr. Meiklejolin bus been caught fib
bing nguin. It wus stated lost week by
Moiklejohu that the First regiment was
to be sent home immediately. Governor
Holcomb telegraphed to Washington to
find out the truth about the matter and
the Adjutant-General answered that the
volunteer regiments In the Philippines
would be sent back after troops arrived
there to take their place In the order in
which they arrived in tho Islands. The
First regiment i sixth In that list.
Hut little information is given out et
Washington about the trouble that
huvoarlseu In the Philippines, Every
thing goi to show however that mat
ter grow worse instead of better, The
Philippine will not turn over the sov
ereignity to the United State and
Aguinuldo refuses to give up the 10,000
Spanish prisoner which ho holds, A
good dsul of excitement was occasioned
by the disappearance of Agulnoldo. The
American commander hud no knowledge
of his whereabouts. Tho first that was
benrd from him, he turned up at Iloilo,
the city that was recently surrendered
to the Insurgent by the Spanish. The
natives are going ahead perfecting their
government declare that they are for in
dependence. Imperialism is beginning
to be a hard road to travel. 2
Oue of the first things that tho re pub
lican caucus did was tfo resolve that
they would create a new committee, em
ploy another clerk aud Investigate pop
nlist deficiencies. That is about the
amillestkind of politics that grown men
ever engaged in. There are always
more or less deficiencies the Inst legis
lature had to provide for $0:1,125.00 of
republican deficiency, aud th re was no
aurplu iu any of the appropriations to
offset it. It was nearly a $ 100,000
clean cut deficiency. There will be about
115,000 of deficiencies in some of the
funds, but there will be a surplus iu sev
eral others. In the penitentiary fund
aloue there will ba n surplus twice as big
as all tha deficiencei. Tho fact is, that
taking all the appropriations made,
there will be a lure surplus instead of a
deficiency. What the republicans prob
ably intend to do is to count the beet
euKur bounty, wolf sculps and all such
things as delli ieiieieH nnd make a pre
text for a buse for lie to bo used during
the next campaign. It is the same old
gang in th legislature and t bey are
schemers from way buck.

that if Tammany wants to go into mis

uncounted numbers of heathen right in

When tbe republican got to scrapping
among themselvee, they employ the
aame kind of tactic that they do in a
campaign against tho populist. False
hood, bribery and Intimidation are their
chief weapons. They don't know bow
to fight in any other way. The atmos
phere around the Lindcll I still blue
with oaths, aud they are saying just a
mean thing about one another a they
did about the populist during tho cam
paign. Meserve has given a bond with a guar
antee company instead of rue signed by
personal bondsmen. That is tbe right
thing to do. When a state treasurer
has to go over the state hunting up
bondsmen who will qualify In whole, up
to one million dollur, it put him In a
reryembarrasslng position. If he goo
to the bank they will expect favor in
return. Thl bond will cost mesorve
$800 per year. ' The legislature should '
puss a law requiting t il treasurer to
Hit up a ("guarantee bond and appro
priate money to pay the cost of it. Ne
braska has had enough of Individual
bondsmen anyhow.
Tho'old line Insurance companies seem
to be In It us fur as tho organization of
the house is concerned. Two of the
men on the insuruuee committee have a
record tliut runs away back a fighter
ugainst the home mutual and aa tha
piiunt tools of the foreign corporation
who'have taken so mniiy million out of
thisjstute in premium that they have
never returned. It' oil right. That is
whatStho people voted for when they re
turned a republican legislature. What
they voted for they ought to get.
Clark, the speaker of the house, I
going to adopt tbe torn Heed pla n and
hnvea committee on rules that I ul
woja iu session and can report a new
rule any time even in the middle of a
speech by which ho propose to com
mand the situation at any and all times.
Under that plun, discussion Is Impossi
ble, and what the speaker want is done.
The rest of the legislature might as well
go home and attend to feeding the lire
stock.
We have three race in this country
the white man, tho Negro and the Indian.
There i an official report on file in tha
archives at Washington giving Uk ex
penses of the wars with the Indiana It
shows that it ho cost this government
over $1,000,000 to kill an Indian every
time we have tried It. Wa have about
8,000,000 colored people and they have
cost us more than a million a piece in
wars and appropriations for their de
f mse. In the Philippine there are U0
different races. They will cost us five
million a piece before we get rid of them.
It appears tliut there are to be some
exceptions to Gov. Poynter' rule
aguinstithlrd tenner. General Harry
who hue been adjutant general for two
terms.huB been appointed fortbird term.
General Hurry seems to be exception
ally qualified for t he office. Hi work in
mobilizing the three Xebruska regiments
in the Spanish war showed bitn to bo tho
right man iu tho right pluce. There will
be uo kicking about tin appointment.
The ThompHonites are schemers who
know Low to scheme to some purpose.
Their scheijH to get the organisation of
both houxes iu their own baud worked
hka chunn. Now they have another
that la worth two of that. It appear
ing thnt there aere two or three men
who, though republican, could not be
forced or coaxed to vote for Thomson,
they have mo set up tha committee to
