Jan. 19, lfcg. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. AGONCILLO'S STATEMENT. Clvee HU Reason! Why We Should Recognise PbUlpptne Government. Washisgto!?, Jan. 17. Senor Felipe Agonoillo, the representative of Gen eral Aguinaldo in Washington, has filed with the state department a memorandum setting forth at length the reasons for his claim that the Phil ippine government should be recog nized by the United States. Accompanying the memorandum is a letter, in which Senor AgonciUo states that he has received no reply to his communication of January 6, in which he asks that a suitable time bo ar ranged when he could be presented to the President and heard upon his l claims. In view of the position in which the representatives of the Amer ican government and the representa tives of the Philippine government u find themselves upon the islands at this time, he urges that the matter bo given immediate attention. .," Senor Agoncillo asserts the Filipinos established end for bevon months have maintained a form of government re sembling the American, in that it is bated upon the right of the people to . rule; that Spain, having at the time 01 tna signing 01 trie treaty 01 pcac. possession of only one port and, the remainder of the Philippines, except Manila, being in possesion of the , Philippine republic, Spain could give ! no title to' the United States for the islands, and thut, having no title to give, her claim cannot bo rendered ' better by the ratification of the treaty " f peace. RETUKNS TO THE ORTHODOX, Itev. Dllon I "Disillusionised" of Or funic Christian Union and Resigns. New York, Jan. 17. ttov. Dr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who for four years past has been preaching to the People's church, a Christian union denomina tional church whose Sunday meetings have been held at the Academy of Music and the Grand opera ho 11 so read to his congregation yesterday his resignation. Rov. Dr. Dixon will con tinue to preach during this month and , February. His resignation will take place on March 1. In his letter of resignation Rev. Dr, Dixon said that the results of his work had been disappointing; that he had not been able to raise sufficient money to meet expenses and that he "had been disillusioned as to the idea of or ganic Christian union." lie has determined, therefore, to re sume bis position in the regular l$ap tlst ministry.- Reformers Moat Agree. If we reformers can find no basis of agreement as to what is to bo done while the industry and moral well be ing of Hie entire nation are mannered by a single truKl, then Hero flddliurj while Home burned is a paragon of in nocence in cotupurison with ourselves. If we can do nothing to save the people unless we con cave tbern within the terms of our own particular programmes or until some day of dreadful judgment forces ui together, then the fory or that reckoning may tear all cat programmes to shreds and the people be saved by fire and by suffering unspeakable be cause the lenders were too blinded by telf will to see the day of their oppor tunity. Dr. George D. Hereon. It's Jost the Spoon, No, direct legislation is not a pana cea for all national ills, lu fact, it in not a panacea at all. It is merely a spoon with which the panacea can bo administered. Specific legislation is the panacea for political ills, and direct legislation is the method by which this special legislation cun be secured. A sick man may need a number of differ ent medicines, but they cau all be ad ministered with one spoon. If the nurse went to get a spoon with which to ad minister the medicine, you would not say that she considered a spoon the panacea for all the sick niau's ills. Equity. To Whom It May Concern.

Taken altogether, the results of the recent elections indicate the relega tion of the silver issue to the reur, With a Republican senate amired for the next four years the pansugo of a free coinage bill during that time is made impossible and tho whole quention placed for the time being outnlde of practical politics. "No question is ever settled until it is settlud right," und the assumption by those with whom the wish is lather to the thought that "free silver has roceived its dcuth blow" is posnlbly premutnro, A gain in congrefftiounl representation for the Massachusetts Democrats on a platform emphatically Indorsing the free silver plank of the Chicago platform, a loss of several congressmen to the Democrats in New York on a platform evading that issue, ami tho success of the fusion ticket in Colorado by tbo handsome ma jority of 60,000, despite the defection of a strong faction of the silver Repub licans end tho open and luvifb uh of u coiiHiderHblo corruption fund In tbu in terest ei the adminlNtratlou wing repre sented by Senator Wolnott, tire struct of some significance in this cnniioutlou It is plain that the currency question bas yet to bo settled. Thinking u;eii on both sides fully realize that the ina bility of thu rrcwent system, widcli has caused so much digress ami disuKter In the porr, niuft remain on tilowcut ol danger until that system in reformed mi a permanent basis. It is felt by mui.y however, that instead of being commit ted to the chances of party success, elt !ier at the polls or in emigre, tho ques tiou will find a natural nod speedy set tlement quite apart from political con siderations. The lotjioof events, It it now openly recognized by leading Dem ocrats Jike Senator Morgan of Aloboitm and by those Republican leaders in the intermountain country who followed Senator Teller into the Erynu camp, will decide tbo money question on 11 basis acceptablo to both Republicans and Democrats that is to say, as am unlooked for bat most important result of the war with Spain we novo virtu ally incorporated into the Union conn tries and populations whoso monetary needs can bu met only by a largo in crease in the silver coinage. To supply these needs it now seems inevitable that a bill will be introduced in thu coming session of congress with the ap proval if not at the instance of the administration, for the free and unlim ited coinage of the American product. While only a beginning, sucb a meas ure cannot fail tn be warmly welcomed by those whose championship of free silver coinage bas been in a large meas ure actuated by concern for the revival of an important, though by no means the most important, product of the Rocky mountain country. International bimetallism, it bas been very distinctly demonstrated, cannot be forced. Tbeao tion of England and other countries in the matter must be based in the nature of things on what is now rather than on what may be looked for in the fa tore. When through the largely in creased use of silver as a money metal, which our colonial nnd eastern trade will require, the market price of silver bullion has naturally responded to the increased demand and attained or ap proximated f 1.29 per ounce as it sure ly will within the next year or two there will be no serious opposition to an international agreemeut for the coinage of gold and silver on equal terms.

THE MAIL ROBBERY. A CONSPIRACY TO DEPRIVE THE POOR OF CHEAP LITERATURE. ConB-reaamnn , Load'a Attempt to Cbonee the Poatal Laws In the In terest of the IUch Mot Word Airnlnat Trcasiiortatlon Robberr. The conspiracy to knock out period ical publications is still being pushed by Loud and bis committee of corpora tion monopolists. It is claimed that the big deficit in the postal service is owing to the trans portation of second class matter, If railroad transportation could be bad at fair nnd reasonable rates, there would bo no deficit. It bas been shown time and agnin that the government pays from three to ten times as much for carrying its mails as tho express companies puy for carry ing packages. As h rule mail pouches and express rucliuROH are carried in tho same car. Tbey therefore receive the came care, are transported in the same time and at the sumo actual expense, Then wby should the government pay three aud fonr times as much? Of courso tbero is "boodle" in the oontracts for muil scrvico, and Uncle Sam's servants who aro intrusted with tbo mutter get a rake off. Quo of tho inspiring causes, however, for knocking out serial publication is tho opposition of tho plutocracy to an education of tho masses. The moro en lightened tho peoplo the harder tho road fur tho wealth accumulators. Ignorance is tho cornerstone of it moneyed oli garchy, There are hundreds of thousands of homes in tho United titutes today where good though chap books van be plenti fully found hh u consequence of cheap mail transportation. Within the last dozen years ruillious upon millions of these Looks GO percent of them useful and meritorious bavo been distributed among the poorer classes, where not a single book could have been found to day had it not been for the cent a pound postal rate. Tbo question is, Shall this education al benefit to tbo poorer clusses bo de stroyed in order to put tho postal serv ice on a "paying Lusls?" Another interest which is to bo serv ed in cutting off the cent a pound rate on periodicals is that of the wealthy user of letter postage. The wealthy mer chant or manufacturer, the banker and the broker, who uses anywhere from 50 to $600 worth of pestogo stamps a day, is anxious for a 1 cent rato for let ters. This will save bim anywhere from 11,000 to (100,000 a year. It would save fens of thousands of dollars ovcry year to each of CO rail roads that could bo mimed. Is it not safo to say that, including nil correspondence, notices sent out, etc, by exprcrs companies at least $1,000,000 a year is paid for letter postage? Now, if letter postage can be cut down one-half, it will be a direct benefit of (500,000 a year to the express companies alone. Then think of the wealthy insurance companies which use thousands and thousands of dollars every year for let ter postage. There is a single national bank in Cbioago wbicb uses probably $25,000 a year in postage stumps. What a "good thing" it would be for that one institu tion if letter postage could bo cat down to $12,5001 It is safe to say that two-tbirds of all postage stamps used iu the United States are used by wealthy men and wealthy corpoations. In 1805 tbo number of letters and packages at letter postage rates mailed was 2,208,000,000. This year it will reach fully 2,500,000,000. This means about $50,000,000 expeuded for letter postage in a single year. If two-thirds of it, or, say, $3.1,000, 000, is spout by wealthy men and cor porations, a reduction to a 1 ceut rate would mean a saving to tbem of $17. 500,000 a year. But so long as the present annual def icit of about ICO, COO. 000 exists in con sequence of the low rate on periodical literature, as it is alleged, there is no use of talking about 1 ceut postage, sy the moneyed champions 0': cheap letter postage.

HOW A" LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA SUFFERER WAS CURED. The Story ef a Sturdy Enftaoer Ills Death was Decreed at a Consultation f Physicians, bat a Changed Medical Treatment Saved His Life. JVom Me Evening Newt, Detroit, ificA. James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman, living In Detroit, Mich., at 88 Montcalm Street, was asked about his wonderful cure. "First," he said, 'I must tell you some thing of my life before my almost fatal sick ness. I was born in Scotland in 1822, and earn to this country in 1848. I nra a ma rine engineer by tritde, and have been up ana aown tas big Jakes hundreds of times. There Is no spot between Dulutli and tne Atluntlo Ocean I do not know. Jn 1(741 was tn the employ of the Detroit and Cleve land Nsvlsution Co., and fur fifteen veurs I was at my post as chief engiurrr on one of their big imiii'iiyfr steamer. M J first boat was the li. N. itice, which wns burned at the docks. Then I was transferred to the Itublo, which was cliurlTud to muke tlio run between Detroit and Clovelund. "I broaght out the new steamer Hie City cf the Hlrulti,' and for yean acted as her chief engineer. It is a great rKionsllility, the position of ehicf engineer on tliose blif posicnqer palncn. Thousands oflivcssre held in the keeping of the engineer, lew realize the dangers that nilvlit be full tbem. and on the engineer depends the safety of tlui Dasienirers. The anxietv onuses a e-rent nerrous strain, and the strictest attentiun U necessary during the trip. Not for a mo ment must lis lose his watchfulness, as the human freight abor him is absolutely in bis ears, M For fifteen vears I care full watched the big engines and boilers without a single accident, and only noticed that I wnegettliif? nervous. Suddenly without warninir I was taken sick, and in less than a week I waal prostrated. 1 naa tne nest orpnysicisns, and hoped to be at wirk SRofn within a week. I eratr sradually worse, and at the council or doctors, they said I had nervoui Brostratlon. and had destroyed mv whole nervous system and would never be able to be up again. They said I bad worn myielfl cut oy tne long nervous strain caused by wetchlneandworryinif about the machinery. Mo man eould stand suoh nervous strains over seven or sight yean, while 1 bud been ifteen vears in destroy fnt my nerve centres. For three loner rears I was unable to move from my bed without assistance. Tho doctori smia 1 naa locomotor ataxia, ana would never be able to walk again. "The pains and iuflcrinr I experienced daring those years sre almost indescribahle. My wife used to put eight or ten dot water bags around ma to stop the pain. Those that cams to see me bid me good-bye when tney icii me ana 1 was given up. J ne aoc tors said nothlnir moreoould be done for me. In fact I bad given myself up, and thought there was no use trying to get well. .vite kept wading tha artklts about Ir., MUNICIPAL SOCIALISM. Examples fif the C'hanares That Are Taklnar I'laee In Great Britain. James Boy la, United States consul at Liverpool, in a reoent report dispens ing tbe subject of "Electric Street Kail roads In England," says: Heretofore tbe cities of Great Britain have been among the most backward of any cities of tbe leading nations of tbe world in tho matter of street railroads. A great change is taking place, bow ever. There has recently appeared in London a trade journal devoted to street railroads aud kindred fobjects. Under takings are lo progress in tbe principal cities cf tbo kingdom for the establish ment of tbe most improved systems. In a large number of cases thece enter prises are a feature of a remarkable movement wbicb has t een quietly but irresistibly getting control of tha gov ernment of the chirf cities and may be described as "municipal socialism that is, tbu ownership aud operation by the rnenicipality cf rtrtain enterj rises wbicb by tbeir very nature tnuht neces sarily be more or less monopolistic, such as sttcet railroads, elect rio and gas light ing jiIhuIs, tba water snpply and tele phones. Iu some instances, however, thismnnlclpal iocIuIIhiu extends beyond this clueMflmliou.
