Tbere never waa a regiment during tba whole civil war tbat did tba oontinuoua fighting tbat tba Flrat Nebraska did from February 4, until they were wot back to Manila. There never was a reg iment tbat bad on half tb bent pros trations. There never was a regiment tbat was forced to flgbt so contlnoualy for months tbat they had no time to wash or change tbelr olotbes. Tbere never wa a regiment In tbe wbol civil war that was fought so continuously for so long a time. Tb re never was a regiment tbat was kept on tba firing Una until tb bodies ol tba men were covered with sore and eaten up with Itch. Tb boys of tba First Nobroeka are tb brav est of ths brave and tb Htate Journal need not tell tbe cltlsens of this state that they would not bav washed their clothes and cleaned tbelr bodies if they bad been allowed time enough to lay down tbelr guns andceaee firing to do It.

' ' flNANCUt IDJOOT, Tb republican managers seem to be working on ths theory tbat tbs people of this stat know no mors abont bank ing and financial affairs than tbey did in 1800, They altogether forget that tbe populist has been abroad in tbe land educating tbe people, We Judge tbat tbat is tbelr idea frdra tb fact tbat tba organ of tb mullet beods pub- liefaed ok following In its editorial ool- urns last Saturday: "Tbs aggregoto depoelts In tbs state and national bank of Nebraeka accord ing to the report of tbs banking board it IfiO.OOO.OOO.

However tbat In what tha bank books soy. and it indi cates an average of nearly fifty dollars for every man, woman and child In Ne braaka. Now that is too silly to fool a mullet bead and most anything will fool on of them If, b sees it In bis party paper. Fifty millions of deposits means tbat tbs bankers of this stats owe tb people that much money and does not mean that there lo tbat much in tbs bank or In circulation. Tbs last report of tbe stots bank commliisiouer shows tbat in all tbs stats banks tbere were only 03,. 063.47 of cash. Besides this tbey bad reserves In banks, 13,018,671.91.

PERSONAL. Tb Omaha Bee devote nearly a col umn to an artL-le which it cays I pub lished wben McKlnley waa here for the purpose of producing a panic. Then it tries to throw contempt upon me be cause, it claims, I worked for the party at 10 a week. Ionlywiah tbat I bad received f 10 a week for all tbs work tbat I have done for tba party. 1 1 bav not only worked for much leu than tbat but for montb at a tlm I never received a cent. Instead of being humiliated by tbe fact, I sometime brag of It to my friend. The article In question was not written wben McKlnley was here, but was a review of tbe quarterly bank statement loaned about thru months ago. Another bank statement baa just been issued and It shows a mors dan gerous condition of tbs banks than sver before. It Is probabls tbat tbs mullet beads thought that I would write an other review of tbestatement as tbs last attracted o much attention among banker, not only in tbl tata but else where, Many of tbem bav written to me about it and a meeting of banker was held, so I was Informed, in Omaba to take tbs review into consideration. I bad not Intended to writ a review at all, my chief object In writing tbs other being to get people wbo were not famiU lai with banking to understand these statements, which to tba ordinary man mean nothing. It seems, however, tbat soms of tbe republican papers are still determined to mlalead tb people, on of tbem tbs other day claimed that because tbs bank statement showed tbat there was 150,- 000,4)00 of deposits tbere wa 150,000,- 000 la circulation In tbls stats. Tb ar tide tbat created ucb a furor among tb bankers and wblcb soms of tbem ar known to have clipped ont, pasted in a scrap book and carried around In their pockets woo as follows: "Ths last report of ths condition of tb 408 bank, stats and national, do ing bueiness In tbs stats bas cauaed a good many to put on tbelr thinking caps. It appears tbat ths banks are owing demand liabilities to tbs amount of 103,050,758 and tbs total cash in their noeaeeeloa only amounts to $5, 7 10,80. Her Is a pretty state of affairs II of money and 110 of wind. Ibeluoltofsofo banking baa alwaya been considered 1 ol money to 4 of credit, but lo fuses days of sound money tb bank are going It all b-tfer. Tbat statement ebow tb trail foundation upon wbloh all buelneeo raeta lo tble atate. A olngl breath would knock tbe whole row of card don. But euppooe we only had a sold otandara and ooi gold waa legal tender. Where would we b then? Inetad ol having f 1,710 880 to pm.v off tbelr Indebtedness of f 58,- 01)6,768. they would bav only Z,4I. 770. or I lot money to 126 of wind. Wind Is a pretty good tblng, but If too much of it ia forced Into any red ptocle it ia enre to burst. II o lj ona-tentb of tbe bonka' oreditora should take a no tloo thMf tbey wanted tnelr money tb wbol 498 would go np tne noma in m tetn minute. The time lor another panic, I oloa at band Tbe bank report bowo that tbe couditlona wbloh produce panic a re already Dare." A glano at tb last tatement of tb bank abowo a wore otato of affair than three montba ago, but I bav not tb time to go into it in detail. Tb Bee doe not attempt to deny any of tbe tatement mad In tbat review or make an argument to prove tbat tbe eonolu ion ar wrong, but in accordance with tba peanut politics tbat tbs republican manager baveao long employed, It trieo to throw contempt upon mo because I aometimeo work for my party principle without pay. Ao no republican wa ever known to do euob a thing, It conclude that It ia otteely diereputable.' I have no objection to It holding och opin ioua. Thenar oeveral iboueood other populUt in tb atate wbo have worked for the party weeka and moutbo without pay and ore willing to do It again. T. 11. Tronns.' WW POINT orroKKi.

Now be says he "is astonished for these same gentlemen declared all over Nebraska tbat under the gold standard nobody could make enough income to decently live thereon." Then he naka: "Did tbey tell Ilea to tbelr audiences wben speaking in political campaigns or ars tbey telling lies now?" Morton thinks tbat is "aw ful smart,'' but sucb logio .would fall to deceive even a mullet bead. Those cam paigners never made any such state ments and Morton knows they did not or he would quote soms of tbelr sayings to sustain bis contention. "Nobody could make enough income to decently live tbereonl" Whoever said It? We constantly pointed to tbe fact tbat en ormous Incomes war being made and tbat tbey grew cone tan tly larger. Fur thermore we demanded tbat theae In cornea should bs taxed, but to that Mor ton was opposed. "Nobody 1" J. Star- ling, tbat will not do. Tbe dorabest mullet bead knows better than that. One tblng tbat bas prevented anv reconciliation of tba Filipinos with tbs authorities of tbs United States, and wblcb seem to them can never be settled under United States authority, Is tbs condition of tbs land titles. Nearly all tbe land In Luton belongs to tbe con vents and monasteries. Tbs treaty with Spain binds tb United States to con Arm and defend those titles. Tbe Fili pinos say tbat only IndoDeodobc will givs tbem control of their own soil. If tbs sovsrelgnty remains In tbe United States, tbey must all become serfs and tenant farmers forever. Rather than submit to tbat tbey propose to die fighting. Tbs Infernal barbarity exercised bv tbe military commander in the Coeur d'Aleos district In Idaho is now ex plained. Tbe property destroyed by ths mob belonged to Standard Oil com Dan v and John D. Rockefeller waa tbe man wbo engineered tbe punishment to be In flicted. Under bis orders tbe governor and tbs courts abdicated and out tbe government of tbe stat Into tb band of a brutal military commander. Tb Inhuman horrors Inflicted upon tbs mil itary prisoners oan be charged to a re publican governor wbo was a coward and a brute, It woo all allgitunats ootdomsofa Mark Han no-Rockefeller run government. A whole lot oftbess working men voted to pot It In power. Now McKlnley bas turned "copper head," "traitor," and "little American." There oan bono doubt about it for tbe evidence Is all documentary and on He. Wben tbs reform forces all united In say ing tbat tbe term of enlistment of tbs volunteers expired upon tbe data of tb treaty of peaoe witb Spain, every Han nalte paper In tbs land proceeded to de nounce ue, acb and all, as "copper head" of tb moat awful eopperiab hue sver seen in these United States. A few days ago McKlnley Issued a general order thanking tbs volunteers for re maining In tbe service "after tbe term of tbelr enlistment bad expired." If w were oil copperhead a few months ago, then McKinley is now. Onoe in a while In eome government re port Iseued at Waahington thero comes convincing proof of tbs truth of ths financial tbeoriea advocated by tbe pop ulist. Tbe monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance for April bas, on page 2484, these word-: "Oaring to tbs enormous depreciation of Spanish cur. rency, tbe owner of cereal in Spain writable to export tbelr good at a great profit, on acoouot of being paid In gold."

Tbs law violated Is tbe law of equitable dis tribution of wealth and ito concentra tion in tbe bands of tb few. Take the match trust for an example. There wero thouaando of oersoas employed ia tbe production and distribution of matches. The value of tbeae matches were distributed among all tbe workero including tba traveling talesmen. Tba trust is formed. Match factories every-, where Are closed. SalesoMo are dis charged and tbe number of peroons em ployed In tbs prodoctloo of matches reduced one half. The retail is tbat tbe millions of dollars received far matches, Instead of being dlstribntsd among tha many are distributed among a few, aad tbe others cease to be either wealth pro ducers or purchasers of tbs products of other wealth producers. In fact, tba most of tbe dollars received for tb matches go Into tbs bands of a very few tbs capitalists who forsted tbe troet. Not only does tbs Immediate employ of the trust suffer from tbls, but thous ands of others. Hotels where tbetrav llogaalesmen stopped and , their em ployee, the barbers, tbs bootblacks, tbs - bus and carriage drivers, ths retail gro cers and tbelr employees, where these others purchased tbelr supplies aad thousands of others wbo cannot be enumerated. Tbs sbas that tbey bad in tbls match production is now obsorbod by tb few truet magnates. ' Tbs s vll does not end here, by any means. Tbese trust . magnates baying , received mors of these dollars tbao Is necessary for tbelr support even in ex- travagont luxury, tbess soma dollars go into tbs banks as loanable funds. Now money to loan Is not money in cir culation. Tbs owners of It do not seek to inveat in productive works. Sons man of enterprlss must step in and pay tbem tribute before that san bs done. Tbe consequence of all this, Is tbat the money piles op by tbs million in tba banks and tbat resnfts in a posltlvs oa traotion of tb money la circulation and a further fall in prises. . A fall ia prirwo lo an r quivolent to an increaso la taxes, in freight charges, ia Interest and all debts.
