There baa boon three waya of acqolr

purchase, aa that of Florida, Louisiana,
oath part ol New Metlco and Arizona
and Alaska; third, aa war indemnity, ae
tbe north part ol New Mexico and Ari
zona and California. Tbe territory an
nexed bad few or no inhabitants and
never have tbey . objected to thi deal.
It waa called purchase or annexation.
Bat now, when nine millions of people
re to be forced into oar service, it is
called expansion. It is very different
annexing people from what it is to an
nex territory, and where it has to be
done by four or Ave years' war ft Is no
mall job. Dot tbe war must go on and
we must stand by tbe government right
or wrong. Nonsense. Tbe man wbo
otters such doctrine is more of a traitor
to tbe principles of oargovernment tban
ever Jeff Davis was. Tbe people of tbe
I United States are tbe government and
not tbe people of Washington, Tbe war
can be i topped. , England stopped tbs
revolutionary war. Tbe war to liberate
Cuba waa almost ananlmousiy support
ed, bat tbe war to subjugate tbe Fili
pinos is not so generally favored. When
a regiment is reduced in three or four
months from thirteen hundred to three
hundred men fit for duty, tbs Filipine
war becomes a serious matter. It is
quite certain that we do not get a full
and true report.
Tbe brewers and distillers are warm
defenders of McKlnley's war. Tbey only
see the increase of millions of liquor
drinkers. It may well be called tbe war
of tbe brewer and millionaire.
Hews of the Week
The baccalaureate address by Chancel
lor Mat Lean of tbe State University
this week was upon tbe war situation.
Perhaps it could scarcely be otherwise
when tbe record of 170 university
etudent soldiers in the war and ten dead
is considered. Ia tbe chancellor's opin
ion both tbs republican and democratic
managers were opposed to tbe war with
Rpain, it was tbe demand of tbe great
common people tbat Spain's Iniquity
cease which finally forced tbe adminis
tration Into tbe conflict. Ia bis opinion
tbs results of tbe war foreshadowed tbe
era of fraternity upon earth, that Amer
ica must abandon her old jxislHon of
i a At in as a i
separation iroin me worm auu nai ins
wny toward fraternity aud Iremloin.
The address was a strong ons. The
speaker wisely refrained front attempt

money plank will be as full and as strong
as If there were no other issue, Tbe
money question bos lost none of its im
portanoe, but la tbe meantime other
questions of greater ' Importance bare
arisen, I would be in favor of making a
declaration against trusts as If that
were the only issue, and tbe
against Imperialism and the Philippine
war, , Within a short time tbs country
will awaken to the exlstance of three
stupendous combinations working to
gether and controlling minor contribut
ing trusts.
"First, there will be a combination of
tbe great lines of transportation; next
in Importance, and ultimately tbe rest,
is the banking combination, and third
tbe great iron and steel combination.
It will not be long, in my judgment, be
fore these combinations represent a cap
italisation of 11,000,000,000, and, tbey
now present the problem of the utmost
importance, demanding the Immediate
attention of the American people and
taking precedence over all others, for
tbey will ndace the amount of labor
employed, determine tbe price of pro
ducts and destroy competition, ,
"Fartherroore,an effort will be made at
tbe next congress to redeem tbe green
backs and give tbe national banks entire
control of tbe currency. This pbnss of
tbe money question Is likely to attract
more attention for tbe time being than
free tilrer.colnage. None tbe less tbey
are deceived wbo tblnk the silver ques
tion is Anally settled. There was much
wisdom in tbe reply of the , Scotch

The negros of Chicago hired and sent
a detective to Georgia to get the facts
regarding tbe recent burning alive of a
Georgia negro for assaulting a white
woman, Tbe detective spent several
weeks in Georgia and bis report was road
lost Suaday to a crowded mass meeting
of colored people in Chicago. Ills finding
was tbat the negro was lynched as tbs
result of a fight with bis employer whom
be killed aud tbat be did not oseault
tbs woman. Ons of tbs prominent
Chicago colored ministers, Itev. J. F.
Thomas, pastor of Olivette Baptist
church, made an address In which be
said:

which deeorved tbe condemnation of tbe

Tbs following extract in from a letter
ofg soldier in tbs First Nebraska. It
gives mors insight Into tbs trus situa
tion In tbs Philippines tban all tbe col
umns of cablegrams tbat or printed in
tne great a allies, ins letter appeared
in tbe Silver Creek Times. ;
"The news yon get is doctored so much
as to be wholly unreliable. Tbe list of
killed and 'wounded are not reported
properly and tbe situation is not as tbe
administration would navs von oeueve.
This is simply oppression of an intelli

tblnk of pacifying them excepting by

Editor Indfwn4ftt
, I fanvt noticed from time to time your
subscriber from different parts of tbls
congressional district expressing them
selves in fnvor of tbelr choice of a candi
date to All the vacancy now existing nnd
which mast be filled this coming election,
and I tblnk tbe custom . Is a good one,
as it brings the leading candidates be
fore tbe people, where tbey can loek up
tbelr record, previous to tbe convention,
and be thereby better qualified to make
tbe selection ; Intelligently, among ,the
many names already presented.' jso
doubt they all bavs rendered efficient
service in tbe party, tbat entitles tbera
to some consideration, from , tbe voter
of the district. But there nre others to
select from besides those already
prominently mentioned In your column.
I agree exactly with the Ord Journal in
that this Sixth district shonld be more.
sen ted by a farmer, , To me, being i
farmer myself, It looks like a reflection
upon tbe qualification and ability of
farmers to send our entire delegation of
eight men to tbe United States congress,
elected from tbe legal professions. Seven
of tbom already being lawyers, and law
yers aspiring for tbs eighth place on tbe
delegation. I wish to enter a protest
gainst this thing being carried to a
success, and appeal to farmers and labor
ers of tbls district to make a selection
from among our ranks, tbat we will feel
satisfied tbat our own Interests will re
ceive tbe attention tbnt tbe farming in
duetryof tbls district Is entitled to.
After we have eomt) together upon a
candidate, tbat baa tbe necessary quali
fications, ability, Integrity and bos at
heart ths principles of tbe peoples party,
and tbs welfare of our country embtded
In bis nature, let as see to it tbat he Is
nominated, and not stop here, but see
tbat be is elected, I have in my mind
now a porno n whom I think can fill tbe
above qualifications. A person wbo has
been quite prominently mentioned In
connection with tbls same poeition In tbe
past, and is quite gonoraliy known
throughout tbe state, having served as
state senator, one or more terms, and
made a record that bis friends of tbs
populist faith are proud of. I refer to
the honorable II, G. Stewart, now of
Scotts Bluffs county, late of Dawes
county. I take pleasure . in presenting
bis name before your readers I or their
consideration, and bope soms ons will
riee up and second tbe motion to nomi
