be no good ronoon why Admiral Dswey

would much better be expended in pro

sentiment expressed by General Joe

right or wrong, my country."
Wooster observe that be woe one of
the follow who helped chose Oooeral
Wheeler after the battle of Cblcamauga
and Intimate that be can do It again if
it li ntcessary to have freedom of speech
in title country. In reply to Wheeler's
entlmout Mr. Wooster very Justl;
aye:
"Tliedoclrlee that a rltlwn muNt up

tnoat damnabl. Certainly no citlton
proposes to resist the government by
force of arme, bnt if the constitution de

Sixth ward, for Instance, the ailk atock

such cheering Information, considering
tbe result of the canned beef investiga

"McKlnley I Pleased.
"A conference wa held at the white
bouse today at whlh Benatora Allison
of Iowa and Burrow ol Miohlgrn, mem
ber of th senate finance committee,
talked over with 1'resiaent Meiuwey
plan lor change In th monetary ys
tem. The conference wa prHllminary to
th meeting of the commlttea republi
can at the Fifth avenue hotel, New
York, Friday. It I understood that
the president 1 aeiignrea wun ins imu
tion and that th senator talked very
strongly la favor of tb general plan
outlined by tbe house caucu committee.
ItlomrmMbtd that th senate republi
can may go even further than their
colleague la tbe bous have gone in
providing for a larger volume of na-

tee plan provide for note issues up to
the par vain of bonds. Consideration
! now tmlnir irlven to the aiiggeetlon
that Issue might be increased in the
oases of bank wliicii naa per wni
bonds, whleh ar now at a very high
premium. It is thought that by adopt
ing 11 isjr cent bonds, now worth 101), a
a biisls, an additional issue of note
mlilitli tmrtnitted above naf on 4 tier
centi bonds, with th whole matter la
the control ol the secretary oi me iroas
urv. When thesmiatocommlttee republicans
meet In New York on Friday they will
go over the plan a presented by the
bouse member, but It I possible that
nothing further will be done until a hear
ing is granted by the committee to a
number ol leadlnir financier in all part
of the country. Tbe plans for tbe hear
ing are now being matured."
Wouldn't that please anyone? Tbe
senate end of the republican financial
jack as I so much Interested In tbe bank
that It I not going to stop at letting
the bank Issue the full 100 per cent face
of their bond in bank uotes, but will let
thorn go beyond that.
Then It Is mo cheering to know that the
tenate committee will grant a bearing to
a "number of leading financiers" of New
York before It finishes tbo job. Western
and southern muddiggersandcorneater
need not apply. No wonder McKlnley I
pleased, Great injustice ba been done
the national banker for a number of
year, They wer originally permitted
to buy a dollar bond for a dollar In
greenbacks, draw Interest on It from the
government and Issue 00 cent of cur
relief on It besides to lend to the people
who bad to have money to do business
oq. Hut a the profit of aotiv business
diminished or disappeared th price of
bond rose until the poor national
banker bad actually to pay a dollar
and ten or fifteen cent for a 6 per cent
bond and could only Issue 00 cent in
bank not upon It. This has been tho
burning outrage of our fliianolul teglsbi
tlou for yearsthat the national bank
er should not bo allowed to Issue note
up to the full market value of their
bonds, so that they might draw Interest
from the government on their money us
an Investment and still have the entlro
amount to use In their business. We
are glad to know that the republican
currency committee Is highly resolved
this outrage shall exist no longer. They
ought, in reparation for the past, to
provide that when a national bank in
vests a dollar and llfteca cents In bonds
It should huve the right to Ismus a dollar
and a quarter In currency, This would
give us mora money, which I what the
pop have been bowling for these many
years, and they would all follow IVfter's
eiample and go buck to the g, o. p.

the world 1 entering upon It second
great problem. One hundred years ago
the question wa If th people could
run a government whother they could
actually collect their own taxes, plan
their own eipeoditure and do their own
policing. Today tbe question I whether
tbe people can do tbelr own businea.
Tbe battle oa the second proposition
promise to be a much fiercer one than
tbe one of one hundred years ago. It
Involve more. It mean the abolition
of peculiar class privileges In fact ulti
mately wiping out the line between rich
and poor. For If class privilege and
advantages ar abolished It follow as
certainly a dawning follow darkness
ther will come a domocrucy of of wealth
a there bo already come a democracy
of ballot and a democracy of education,
, It I tb last fuotor that I most pow
erful now lo fighting the new conflicts.
When free common school education was
secured to the children of America It in
sured tbelr progress In material wealth,
development and empire. When free
higher education became an actual fact
the old division of mankind into wealth
producers and wealth consumers was
doomed. When democracy might train
ber children not only in the mere arith
metic and spelling book of every day life,
but in the higher powers of analysis,
science and organisation' old systoms
had hud their day.
Monopoly, has boon quick to under
stand this. Higher education for tb
most purt lias been kept In control by
tho privileged ctusses. Great wealth en
dowed colleges and directed Instruction
in them. The reason why the masses
have so often lost their battles with th
classts is because as a moss they lacked
the discipline, judgment and education
of their opponents. Truth doesn't win
battle until she find champions wbo
know how to present ber rights and her
authority.
In the past fifty year progressive so
cial truth hus begun to find champions
among tbo educational leaders, Great
men could no longer keep tbelr eye or
their mouths closed to th new condi
tions made In the world's industry, Ho

AK DITOBIAL LEt'TEB.
(Mr. T. II. Tibbies, of tbe Independ
ent, is taking a vocation in Northern
Nebraska and send the following letter:)
Omaha Rehbhvation, Jnne 10, 1809.
I am In an old house, built 43 year ago.
The lady banded m a book of poems to
entertain myself with while she at
tended to ber household duties. There
are some strange things about this
hook and it ha some strange poems ia
it poems, that though written long
ago seem to apply the present times
On the title page are these words "I
ooncluded that It was not time to' keep
silence, for truth should bespoken at all
times but more especially at those times
when to speak the truth Is dangerous."
When I read that I thought of tbe
censorship of tbe mails and telegraphs
and bow those of us who still stand by
the declaration of Independence are
called "oopperbeada" and "traitors,"
Then 1 tamed over a loaf or two and I
came to these words: , ,
"Shall tbe United State-tb fre
United States, which could not bear th
bond of Kings, cradle the bondage
which a king Is abolishing? Shall a re
public ba less frea than a monarchy?
Shall we In the vigor and buoyancy of
manhood, be less energetic and righteous
tnan a kingdom in its age?"
These are tbe word that fit those
times and prove that every generation
must fight the battle of liberty, over
again. ,
When one thinks of a censored press
and violated mail it would seem that
the following stan ta were written to
defy th McKlnley administration In
stead of being found ia an old book.

When one think of the blood thirsty
preachers wbo have recently been preach
ing war and slaughter from their pul
pits, and denouncing the declaration of
independence from public platforms as
the invention of tbe devil, it would seem
that these line were meant for the pres
ent day pulpiteers. '

ay of these is graduation day. We will
remember the graduation speeches we
all had to make, bow we broke up and
fell down and commenced tbe second or
third time. Dut that custom , ba been
knocked out. Graduates are too nu
merous. The Hie question must be an
swered by every graduate individually.
Are you going to float down strtam or
paddle up.
The socialists howl against the com
petitive system. The individualists
bowl against the trusts because they do
away with competition. To an extent
tbe socialists ar right and so to an ex
tent the trust system is best. We are
for socialism to that extent, that no
law should be made to help one class to
the loss of another class. Either help u
all alik by law or dot be b any ol u.
A large proportion of our laws and
court decisions ar made to help a lew
and make the rest of us foot tbe bills.
Trust are all right only let the govern
ment be the trust, to run all monopolies
ia tbe Interest of all. Use improved ma
chinery save labor and reduce cost of
product What one man can do alone
single banded, let him do It, It Is a luct
one man can grow forty acres of wheat,
corn or cattle with less . wear to human
mind and muscle, Individually, than a
hundred men can grow four thousand
acres. Tbere would be less waste of el
fort proportionately. Tbere would be
no pay for bossing, no shirking or nig
ging.
The republicans are tor expanding our
territory and people but for contracting
our money volume. Rryan is for ex'
paading our money and contracting our
ioreign wars, that the difference lu the
two parties. All the millionaire money
limners, brewers and distillers of the
east are for McKlnley and all the holiest
lai'iner wiio can't be bribed aro lor
Uryan. 1
The republican of Lancaster county
have several very worthy and appro
priate candidate for office this fall,
One charged and undertook to collect,
of the county seven thousand dollars for
walking up to tbe state bouse and ap
plying to tho state treasurer for a
county loan of school money. It wa
not expected that he intended to pocket
all the money hlmsell but the state
officers, the county commissioner and
county attorney were to have a part.
Then another very proper candidate suf
fered f.10,000 to slip through hi
fingers while holding a state oflice. That
alone ought to bo a passport to popular
ity in any republican convention. It
would not do for the republican to
nominate new men, they must alt be old
office holder and one office must follow
another for they aro tho only one that
tbe crowd can delight to honor.
McKlnley promised the Cubans an In
dependent government long buloro tbe
Spanish war beiran and it was pro
claimed to the world but it would not
answer to promise anything of the kind
to the Filipinos until after the war with
Spain was over and pence was ratitlsd.
hnuland acknowledged tlielndeptn'ience
of the United States after seven year
war so may tbe United States acknowl
edge the independence of tbe Philippines
alter seven years ol war.
Look at tho effect of tariff and trust
on glass. American made window glass
Is taken to Europe lo large quantities
and sold much cheaper than It can be
made there. Why not make tbem sell it
here as cheaply as they do over there?
No the tariff and trusts fence us in and
we have to pay two prices.
Nfever before has this government been
rated as a nrst-cles power by Kuropean
nations, but now in the peace conference
our rHprosfmtativHS sis oa the high seats
with Luglund, v ranee, Uermany and
Kussiu. Now it our army Is vanquished
in the Philippine and we are forced to
acknowledge their independence, as Eu
glaud did our, after seven years tlght-
iug, bow will we tuea be rated? Uur
bouor will be soiled anyway.
Somehow lately contract and agree
ment between Individuals and states
have no valid signification. The late
superintendent of our insane hospital
has been receiving his ealary quarterly,
tor lour year and signing a receipt In
full up to every date, but now that ba
Is out he discovers that be has a lot of
back pay. Tb courts will giv it to

vltingbim to tbe chairmanship of a con
ference of governors and attorney gen
erals of state to be held at St. Louts,
Sept. 20, to discuss the trust question

"Lincoln, Neb., June 0. Hon. Joseph
D. Sayers, Austin, Tex. My Dear Sir:
In reply to your favor of the Cth Inst.,
suggesting a conference of tha governors
and attorney generals 'of tbe several
states and territories at St. Louis on
September 20, for the purpose of taking
such action a may be deemed proper
respecting the legislation necessary to
prevent the formation of trusts and dis
solve those now in existence, I desire to
say that I not only fully ogree with you
on tbe proposition that a unity of ac
tion among tb states is desirable, but I
firmly behove tbat unlesss this giant
octopus is crushed in the near future not
only the rights and privileges of our
people will be sacrificed, but the very
ex Is tenon of our republic will be Im
periled. '
"I therefore accept your invitation
and will bring tbe matter to the atten
tion of the attorney general, requesting
his attendance also, and I certainly hope
that unfted Ut'tlou of many of the states "
may prevail for the common good of all.
Very truly yours, W. A.PoyjtTicri,
' Governor-",

SIXTH DISTRICT
Since the death of Congressman W, L.
Green, as should be tbe case, the people
of the Sixth district 'are looHmr after
timber for oongree. It seems to be al
ways the case that when It comes to fill
ing an office of this kind that t hero n.ra
always a great number of candidate for
the office. I suppose that thi is the
case because of tbe great mujorltie that
the populist have in the Sixth district.
If it were tho case that the populists In
this district did not have a irreafc mulor.
ity in the past, would it be the enso tbat
mere would be a many candidates a
there is? Certainly this would not be
the case, But when we ooine to consult
the whole neonln. wo find that thnra am
a great variety of Mens a to' what the
nature of tho congronsman should be.
The populist lu the Sixth district have
bad groat majorities, but do they want
to trifle away their time this fall In mak
ing a wwk campaign? This should not
be the case. To get a man for cougrts
holms the right qualification Is no
easy task. Take it In this district, and
find a man wbo Is a farther and a states
man, a Kood cainnahiuer. a man of
bright idea and able to hold tha enemy
level, and a man of good habits, and
vou hav a bard man to And. 11
