' McKinley' commissioner In tbe
Philippine promle the Inhabitant of
that country a rnuub better government
than tbe republican party ha ever
given tbi country. They ay . to the
Filipino tbat If they will only lay down
their arm and quit talking about Inde
pendence they will give tbem an effective
civil aerv iee reform and tbat "the collec
tion and application of all taie and
other revenue will be placed , upon a
aound, ecotidmlcal bol and tba public
fuuds, raieed justly and collected honest

upon tbe condition In tbi country,
they will bave aome doubt about tbe
fulfilment of auob promise a that.
However if they doubt it, tbe thing I to
hoot them o full of lead tbat they will
doubt no more.
In tbe old day when the republican
party wa first organised their drey ora
tor Invadod every part of the north and
the bnsls of all their speeches was tbe
Declaration of Independence. Tbat was
the armor, shield and buckler. Now the
regublican orators declare that prin
ciples enunciated in tbat document are
Imply "glittering generalities," The
first president of tba republican party
fought a great war to freT 5, 000,000
blacks and expended more tnao a billion
of dollars to secure their freedom. Their
last president bought 10,000,000 brown
men and paid 120,000,000 for them.
Will It ever be poselbla to chisel into the
beads ol tbe mullet beaded Mark llanna
followers that voting the republican
ticket bow, Is voting against every
principle tbat republicans advocated
thirty year ago?

Tbi Is truly awful. There should be a

In this way, atheism will be enthroned

The corporation of the eastern states
are exceedingly anxious to civilice the
heathen of the Islands of tbe sea, and
ome of their minister seem to think
that It I our duty and destiny to end
our war ship to roaming over tbe earth
for tbe purpose of shooting Christianity
Into them with thirteen Inch. gun.
Meantime it seem tbat the heathen are
lucreaaing very fast right in tbe New
England states which once 'were dotted
with theological seminaries and flliod
with churches. Tbe governor of New
Hampshire, in a recent proclamation,
speaking of bis own state, says: "There
are towns where no church bell sends
forth Its solemn call from January to
January; there ure villogee where chil
dren grow to manhood uuchristened;
there are communities where tbe dead
are laid awuy without the beuizon of the
name of Christ and where marriages are
solemnised ouly by justices."
Would it not be good policy to recall
some of our troops from the l'bilippines
and end u em to New England with
their maguiine guns and automatic rifles
to shoot oio Christianity into tb
heathen there? Tba truth of the matter
is Just what I'rof. Herron said, "this
devil worship onlled chrUtkuity."

In regard to tbe return of tbe ' volun
teer now serving In the Philippine, tbe
situation seems to be, and it h) 09 use to
try to doCelVe ourselves however much
WB Want the First Nebraska sent borne,
about this: According to the terms of
enlistment, tbe First is entitled to an Im
mediate discharge, but if the volunteer
are scut home before reinforcement ar
rive, the troops toft would be la danger
of extermination, It I not to be up
posed tbat tbe administration will take
any such risk, To keep tbe boy longer
In tbe Philippine only require a con.
tructlon put upon tbe lata act of con
gress that tbat act can easily bear.
Tbero I not a particle of doubt tbat
McKinley will stand by the construction
made by tbs attorney general Jjie other
day which was to the efie'ct tbat tbe
president bad the authority to bold
them for six month more, and it I tbe
opinion of thl paper tbat tbat I what
will be done. Tbe only bop of getting
tbe boy of the First home again in tbe
near future I to stop the war on the
Filipino. If tbe friend of the First
would demand a change in this imper
ialistic policy Instead of supporting it,
a so many of them do, they would not
only relieve themsolves of constant self
contradiction, but could present an
argument tbat would have force,
THE TKVSTM.
A farmer In tbe northern part of the
state writes tbat be is puxzled beyond
measure at the enormous capitdllx tlon
of the new trusts that bave been or
ganised during tbe last few month. , He
says: "I can't understand it at all.
Will you try to enlighten me and other
among your reader on that subject?
In a paper tbat I take, it I stated that
tbe known trust bave ft capital of over
four billions of dollar. Where did all
tble enormoua amount of capital come
from?"
Itcomoe from nowhere. Two-third
of It I water. Trust formation I simply
a cruw that boa seized opon the people.
Every generation has been afflicted by a
like craze and tbi will result just as all
of tbem have resulted in the bankruptcy
of thousands.
Look at it dispassionately for a mo
ment and see how absurd It I. Accord
ing to ths census of 1890 the manufac
turing capital oltba whole United State
amounted to $0,139,877,485. During
the last six month trust have been or
ganism witbacapital of 14,185,480,700.
Take Into consideration tbat the value
of manufacturing plants baa greatly de
creaead sines 1800, ths fall of prlnea af-
lectin them as well aa all other kind of
property. Doe not tb simple state
ment ol tb tact prove tbat the forma
tion of trust hi simply a financial
scheme for the most part baring In view
the shearing of tbe lambs who invest In
tbeir sto'ks?
The reason why tb- owners ol manu
facturing plant ar so willing to sell
put to tbt trust I because their work

Mayor Jonea mixes up term when he
is talking and writing in such a confus
ing way tbat there is much excuse to
call him almost anything. At one time,
If w are to judge from the term be uses,
be la a democrat, a minute afterward
he la a socialist, while he all the time in
slstson calling himself a republican.
rThe orlncloles he advocates are neither
republican nor socialistic, but are popu
lism as defined in tbe national and state
platform of tbe populist party. The
following extract from an Interview
with blm, published In the April Coming
Age, will illttrate tbe criticism.
"The acceptance of the Idea of democ
racy involve a dismissal from tbe rnlud
of any thought of cla or classes, and
this degrading notion has always hin
dered the progress of the world. Tbe
Idea that a few of us are endowsd with
the 'divine right of kings and are es
pecially fitted to govern or rule what w
have called tbe lower classes, is undemo
cratic, as well a unchristian and of
course oobrotberly, and worst of oil It
I unacientlfls. ,
"If we are a democracy we must be
lieve In the people; therein no escape
from tbat conclusion. If w believe in
the people, we must believe tbat we are
going to be saved altogether or lost al
together, and it i my belief tbat w are
making progress toward nobler Ideas of
democracy and brotherhood than we
bar ever yot dreamed of. I M tula io
the growing desire to enlarge tbe funo
tion of government in ministering to
the social want of tbe people; and we
bave long since recognized tb Import
ance of the thing tbat we call education
and have practically made that as free
a tbe air w breathe, to I believe tbat
we shall enlarge our conceptions of what
constitute education, and make such
things a bath, gymnasia, play
ground etc,, a fre to all a tbe com
mon school now Is. ' .
In that passage be uses tbe term
"democracy." In tbe very next sentence
be call tbe same thing "socialism" and
says: -
"There Is no room to doubt that fifty
per cent of tba sum now expended In so
called restraining and charitable meth
od, If expended In some reasonable way
along socialist lines, so a to enlarge tb
privilege of tbe people and to provide
opportunities for tbem, would within
twenty-five year place our almshouses,
jails, penitentiaries and prisons very
largely In tbe domain of the relic of tbe
hideous past."
Out of tbe propagation of tbe princi
ples contained In tbe Omaha platform
has grown a great controversy that Is
attracting tbe attention of all men the
learned and unlearned alike. The time
has come when tbe system of govern
ment there outlined should have a term
to describe it. It Is different from any
thing tba world ba ever given atten
tion before. It should be named and la
belled. It results only lu confusion to
call it one minute democracy, tbe next
socialism and tbe next something else.
Worse than that, it divide tbe believer
into hostile camps, when they should all
be in one camp. It pluces tbem in dif
ferent parties when they should be In
one party.
The eewnce of this system is as Pro
fessor Stuckeuberg has expressed it in
his article in another column of this
paper, "Whatever pertains to the pub
lic must be managed b&tbe public In tbe
intereat of the public aud whati private
must be left to private management."
That is the populist theory of manage
ment. It Is not socialism. It Is not re
publicanism. It has not beon the theory
of tbe democratic party In tb past, al
though that party is fast coming to
adopt It.
Why shonld not all persons wbo be-
lev In this theory of government agr
upon a term to describe It and then all
get together Into one party and work
together to eatabllah It in thea United
Htatea? It I tb demand of the age. It
I being partially adopted, la every
eivlliied government on earth. Every
political party haa In ft meaaura, at
lawat, to reeognlie It. Why not maka a
traigtit Uu upon It? Why not get
together? Why not?

the silver basis and tbat while' there was
a good deal of gold la tbe country there
was not a yen in circulation. Then tbe
government passed a law that every
gold yen should be worth two yen.
That act doubled the money power of
tbe gold yen and beside that, tba gold
Immediately went Into tbe circulation.
In thla way tbe volume of money in cir
culation ia Japan wa more than
doubled and price and wage Imniedi

memorial of their fame,"
Whenever the coyote tbat edit ons of
their paper "0 these word he o-oea
frantlo, Wonder why?
S UUAVITATION KKVKItNKU,
One source of the very great increas
in tb circulation of tbe money of Japan
which wa not enumerated In the article
on that subject lu another column, I tb
use of credit money, Formerly Japan
bad none at all, but the financier were
quick to avail themselves of it after
a law was passed permitting tbem to do
0, credit money is used In that coun
try now to the same extent it is here,
The Increase in tbe volume of money io
Japan, taking into account tb coming
Into circulation of gold, the doubling of
the value of gold by law, the use of credit
money, the facilities of handling money
through bank aud in other way ba
been enormous. Tito result bn been, a
ft great advance in wage and price.
It I probabl;that if a goldbug Washing
ton correspondent should announce
that tb law of gravitation bad been re
versed In Japan, and that every loose
thing was flying upwards, tbe whole re
publican press would declare that It wa
so and denounce every man wbo d.mled
it as a copperhead.
It should always be held la mind that
when republicans talk about "reform"
they inteud to make thing worse. When
they say that they are going to "reform
thecurrency" they mean that they will
give u worse and more of it than w
bay ever had before.
