MILITARY BRUTALITY,
ow tba Psapts of Utah Hay Fared ta-
dtr M&rilal I,aw-WhaH In Stars
for Allot Vs.
The military regime la Idaho ba
borne Inevitable fruit In the persecution
and deliberate murder of Innocent and
dofensless cltl,n. Tbe danger of tho
general evil Involvsd in tbe suspension
of civil authority, the ludlserlminliittte
arrest of persons, with or without the
team of pn Judlco or suspicion, and tb
denial of fro press, fro speech and th
rlitbt of combination bar been ecllpsd
for the time by the neuter Incident of
personal brutality and degradation In
flicted by tbe military upon tha iwrsou
of those now at tbelr mercy,
Tho supreme court of Idaho ban denied
the application for a writ of habeaa
corpus. The nam tribunal bo ruled
that if audi a writ won leaned the mill,
tary authorities would be Justified In die-
regarding It; that the government of the
tate had power to declare martial law,
and that such a condition now exist
The loot vestige of atate authority thus
eurrendored to the federal soldiery, the
latter bave proceeded to exercise tbelr
power with an abandon characteristic
of Irresponsible might, Neither tbe In
atincte of common bumanity nor the
prompting of spiritual necessity bar
been respected. Every prlnclpleof Justice,
propriety and dency ba been beaten
down by tbe rotbles arm of a satrapy
Intoxicated witb a license which, not
withstanding numerous tauten of the
Name draught In the poet, I still a novel
and exciiing indulgence.
The recent industrial history of tb
United State abound Witb Instance
of military interference, alwayunwar
ranted; and therefore, alway abuelve of
tbe principle of military eubordination
and civil eupremacy. Indeed, eueb In
terference baa lately come to be a coin
cident in all otherwise private Industrial
dispute of any dimensions. The au
thority thus vssted in tb military,
although greater than tbe clrcumstan.
cea would juatify, baa bitberto beenllm
ited; which limit, although naturally
and inevitably evereacbed, baa atill been
recognized and observed at a point abort
of tbe total extinction of civil rights,
lint in tbe present Instance the military
And themselves, for the first time
in tbe bietory of the United States,
abeolutely supreme by the abdica
tion, or rather betrayal, of tbe
atate' aoveerigulty. In degree, at bast,
the position of tbe military in Idaho I
a new experience. A aucb it boa al
ready demonstrated the prscnant adage
that power without responsibility begeU
despotism.
Now that tbe trdop have been given
a free band to gratify tbelr lout for pure
deviltry the bare abandoned every
oemblance of dignity and discipline, and
bave developed the characteristic of
mere marauder. Tbe Mullan Mirror, a
paper friendly to the persecuted miners,
ba been surprised and its editor
thrown into the "bull pen" for exposing
the horror of that place. Mrs. Htewart,
tbe wife of tbi man tried to get the pa
per run off in order to support herself
and family of three young cbildreu, A
company of cavalry invaded her prem
ium and congscated 18 coses of type and
all the advertisement. The woman Is
tijiis loft destitute. Union ball have
teen forced open and furniture destroyed.
The sale of the Kurke miners' union
was opened and 1 ,200, intended for
the rtiliel of tbe Imprisoned meu'a fain
iliee, taken by tbe troot.
Tbe engineer and pump men of the
Burke mines, who desired to quit work
la sympathy witb tbe miners, were in
vited to a ball for a eoiiu.reuo." A lieu
tenant of the army mounted the pint
fsrni, and, pulling out hi watch, gave
tbe men 10 uilnuie in which to return
to work "or uffir the ooiisequenW,
Meanwhile a body ol soldier stood at
the door, awaiting tbelr oHloer'a com
mand. A man nomad M. L. Ivlne, a patient
In a hospital, came to Wallace on the
day of tbe explosion to nave a tooth
drawn, lie wo arrested and sent to

THATTERRIBLE NIGHT
Wbntb yirst Vbrk Ilepelled tbe
Assault adbv4 lb WhoUAruif,
Nin hundred and eighty-nine men of
Nebraska landed her last July, and
proved to th world that a volunteer
can foot a tad and fir aa heroically a
tbe most seasoned veteran. No eulogy
can be to flattering; no encoa'umscan
be too enthusiastic; no on will even
know tb entire atory of the work of tbe
First Nebraska. Well do th people of
Manila remember tb terrible night of
the 4th of February, when thousand of
expectant aud confident Filipinoa aurged
against tb slender line of our outposts.
Could our men bold out against such a
terrific onslaught? And Bant a Mesa?
It wo the etrateulc point. It wastb
key to tbe city.
And only tb Father above know the
history ol that night. The men of Ne
braska were on guard at Santa Mesa,
and tbey stood a firm a the founda
tion of time, and held back that board
of maddpued Tegal, hour after hour.
Any waverlmr. any faltering, and tbe
result letilt not even be dreamed of.
There I authority for tb statement
tbat tb Nebraska regiment will embark
In lesa than fifteen days; in fact, order
from Washington bav been received
ordering tbe release of all Nebraska men
who are confined, tbat tbey may be
ready to join tbelr regiment.
A an additional proof tbat th cam"
palgning of th volunteer I about at
an end, it I atated tbat Krag-Jorgenaen
rifles bav not been Issued to them as
tbey will be her but a very abort time.
Yes, the volunteera are going borne,
tbey can all loin in tbe chorus. "Were
going borne tomorrow,"
Tb foregolbg ia taken from a paper
printed In Manila called Freedom. It
eoems tbat half of tbe suffering and fight
ing of tbe First Nebraska ha not yet
been told. Tbey bave won imperishable
glory and written their name on tbe
page of history in letter tbat can
never be defaced. There It will remain
an Inspiration for brave deeds as long
a time shall last.

Hews of the Week
Tb McKlnley censorship at Manila
proving a boomerang and playing bavoc
generally with tbe Imjwrlalletw torce in
the United State. All th correpon
dent bave left Manila and gone to
Hong Kong, Including those of th A-
aoclated pro, i ner wej umwv tm
round robin and all signed a statement
declaring that tb peoP1 of th United
State bad been deceived by tb censor
authorities and the situation waa not
what It woe represented to be at all.
John T, McCuteheon, a part of who
dispatch was printed In tho Independent
lust week, head thllt.
Tbe testimony of all tb correspon
dents, wbo either wont to Hong Kong
or were expelled by tbe military author! t
lea from th Island of I,uon, la th worst
blow that ImperloHsm baa yet received
and th McKlnley manager don't know
which way to turn, Tb State Journal
tries to ridicule, tha statement of tb
correspondent but it effort ia a decided
failure. Cruel ra an w bo wa th corres
pondent of an Imperllst paper, I in
London and ba back tb ret of tba
newspaper men in their statement tbat
tbe cablegram allowed to be sent out
wer all misleading while tba Important
new of tha seriousness of tb situation
wa completely aurpreased.
It will be aooa tbat tho only people In
tbi state who bav bad any Inteligent
idea of affair In tb Philippine wer the
reader of tb Independent, Tb poor
mullet head In this Instance bav not
been allowed to know tb fact at all.
Tbey ara at fault only In tbat tbey will
not read anything but a republican pa
per. '
Tb report of I'rof. Rchurman, whil
not Intended to be to, la in fact a very
great compliment to tbe Filipinoa.' lie
aaya he baa met a great many of them
and neither threat, bribe or promise
of office and safety will indue tberoto
give any information that will be of any
re to tb American military author! tie,
Tbat ia to say, tbat the men ar tru
patriot and cannot ba bribed, bought
orbnlldosedinto doing anything tbat
will b owed against their bop of liberty
and Independence, Tbey don't aoom to
be tb sort of men that tbey bav bean
represented to b at all,
Tba State Journal aeem to bo deter
mined to reach depth of depravity tbat
were never before eouuded by tbe very
lowest of humanity. A few week ago
It published a lot of lie about Senator
Allen. It did it with malllne and fore
thought, knowing well at the time that
It printed them that they were lies. It
accused him of gobbling a lot of land
under the resevoir act when It knew tbat
Honator Allen bad not entered an acre
nnder that or any other act. When
Senator Allei sent a denial It refused to
publish the denial. Some eastern papers
copied the lie from the Journal and then
that printed sewer copied its own He
from the eastern paper In proof of tbe
fact that Senator Allen had been gobbl
ing government land.
Tbe moral foulnes of a sheet like tbe
State Journal is beyond tb power of
man to describe. There boa never been
anything equal to It la the history ol
this or any other country, Wa defy any
ono to point out a despicable an act by
any public Journal as tbi slauderoa
Senator Allen who la ou of tb honored
aud rts)Htd cltiwus of thl atate and
now holding the position ol Judge. Tbe
writer on that paper who eootluu wiU

All the correspondent In Manila unit
In stating tbat th cablegram averting
tbat tbe volunteers were willing to re
inllst In McUulcy'a war of conquest were
pure fabrications. Thoso men coming
from tho best fatuities of th western
state are all against tho McKlnley
policy, Tho Mark Hanuaite will boar
something that will make them turn
potted wben tbe boy get bomo.
It is a fact well to keep In mind tbat
al mi tb popocrat took charge of
affair at th state bouse tb atate ba
not lost a cent by embczxlemcnt nor baa
counties lost anything on account of
making the treasurer pony up every
thirty day, Tho state official however
bavo no way to suvo tho cities from be
ing looted by republican treasurers.
Ashland I a recent sufferer from J bo re
publican habit pf grabbing publlo fund.
No one pi tie thorn for after alt tbe
warnings tboy have had they predated
in electing a republican treasurer.
First McKlnley put on a confederate
bodge and now h prefer tbe confeder
at general Wheeler over th Union gen
oral Mile. Wheeler I sent to Manila
to take charge of tblnga tbero
whil Mile bo been refused any com
mand at all. It I about tlmo'.for th
mullet head to begin to talk about
their loyalty again.
Tb Imperialist around Lincoln bave
not flocked to McKlnley'a recruiting
office in any great numbers. Tbey
aeem 1 1 be willing to do tb talking but
gun powder make thorn alck,
Decauao the plutocratic dailioa are
trying to deceive the people in regard to
the eoormoua deficiency in tho national
revenue la no reason wby the reform
editor hould keep so quiet on tbo sub
ject. Th .Associated Pros statement
tbat tb revenue of tbe government will
fall behind 1100,000,000 doenotglv
tb wbolo truth by any mean. Tba
government bad a revenue of 1200,000,-
tOOO from tha sale of bond. Tbat la,
going in debt ia called la tbat report
revenue." Tho deficit tb lost year
waa 'juu,uuu,uuu, not jiw.uou.uuu.
The fact of aucb an enormous deficit
when taken in connection witb tb heavy
war taxes should act every man to think
ing. It la an omnloua thing to contem
plate. Tbe president of tbe county Alliance
out at Kearuey, ao aaya tbo Buffalo
County Pilot, went to Malalleu and de
manded that bo correct tbe atatemont
besfntto the flee and State Journal
about the Alliance passing resolutions
denouncing fusion when it wa only
Mala.'Ieu, Stebbinn and Liobty who did
the passing. Malallea corrected it Just
like tbe State Journal did its malicious
lies about Senator Allen,
Tbe Lincoln barber bar Just found
out that the trust have bit them bard.
Tbat Is especially the cose witb th bar
ber at the hotels. A large part of thtir
business cam from the drummer and
now the trust bave turned th drum
mer out to count ties, so tbey don't get
shaved any more Tb hotel are feeling
th effect of th trust also. Tb tetiv
drummer don't com to stay all night
any more. No ous pi tie th hotel men
or most of them whoo;! it up for Mo-
KluWy and th gold standard.
Tb mullet beads ol Nebraska willingly
support a daily paper which lie pur
paaely, maliciously and rontiuulally.
That go tu sbii that tl vbwls party
ia rottea to tb very cor. Asa sample
of tbia priudltatd lying, tak aa edi

7 THEY GOT FOOLED
Tbo manager of tbo money power got
badly fooled onoo. They never Intended
to elect McKlnley president. Tbelr plan
wa to elect Whitney. Tbey bad no no
for aucb a makeshift of a man aa Mc
kinley and wanted a bulldoter after tbe
Ilaveland sort. Tbey thought tbat
Whitney would till tbo bill exactly,
Markllanna in bia recent interview
didn't tell anything new wbon bo said;
"You see we bad to awing around, for
wben Major McKlnley waa nominated It
waa thought tbat Whitney and his
friends would beat tbo free silver men In
tbo detnocotlc convention and mak
the fight on tb tariff."
Wbon It developed tbat tbo fwe allver
men oould not ba be bought and tbat
Instead of two gold standard candidates,
there wa only one, tbo wbofb situation
waa changed. Th money power man
agers bad no choice left. Tbey wer
forced to flgbt for McKlnley. It waa a
bad do to take for they bad Intended
to elect Whitney aaitwaa tba demo
cratic tnrn to bavo tbo presidency.
To tbelr credit It must bo said tbat
tbey made tb beat thy could of
tbe beast, Mark Ilaona, and the
tb man of dougb, McKlnley. Tbey bav
had trouble on their band ever since.
There la not a particle of doubt tbat
tbey intended to shelve Mo Kinley,
He hasn't the fighting qualities
that aro necessary to carry on
their desperate Intrigues, and aa for
Mark Hanna they want something more
respectable.
CALL THEM THAT
American imperialists have chosen for
themselves a remarkably appropriate
name, Tbey wank to be called "loyal
isa." Py nil means let them be gratified.
The same designation wna assumed dur
ing the American war by tbo torios.

"Equal rlgbta to all, special privilegea
