An honest banker is the noblest work
of Qod. Do not fail to rend what he
ays in the article in this Issue entitled
"A Banking Abyss."
The English statesman, Walpole, de
clared in Parliament during the Ameri
can revolution that he could not under
stand bow an Englishman could exult in
the defeat of the American army when it
was fighting for liberty. Some of the
old Lincoln republicans are expressing
views very similar to that when they
speak ot the Filipinos. '
The Independent has been Informed
that Licbty and Stebblns are constantly
traveling over the state undertaking to
organise a middle-of-the-road party, and
that many thousands of copies of Mor
ton's paper are being sent tree to voters.
Will some reader of this paper please In
form ns where the funds come from to
pay all the expenses?
From the numerous cats printed in
the dally papers it seems safe to say
that the new secretary of war has a
mustache, As to any of the rest of his
features great uncertainty prevails, al
though it is pretty certain that he has
some hair on his bead. This daily news
paper portraiture has become a perfect
nuisance more than that, it disgusts
all deoent people.
The rate of taxation is higher in this
republican county of Lancaster than in
any other county In the whole state.
Jnst vote'er straight and keep doing it
Is the mullet heads idea. It is far better
to pay taxes than to let any one except
a republican hold office. It Is nothing
If taxes eat np our whole earning if we
can only so manage that none but re
pablicans can be elected.
It seems to be the opinion of all the re
publican editors in this state that if the
First regiment is paid off in San Fran
cisco the boys are such a miserable lot
that they will spend all their money in
licenciousness and riotous living and
have none to come home with. Harri
son, tie special reporter ot the State
Journal and Bee is firm in that belief,
and be says that it is the opinion ot the
merchants and business men . of San
Francisco. The Independent is of the
belief that these republicnn editors and
Harrison the special war correspondent,
one and all are a miserable lot ot slan
derers of the finest body of men who
ever marched nnder the folds ot Old
Glory.
A gentleman was in the Independent
office this week and wanted to know
somethiag more about the genesis of the
mullet head. Well a mullet head is a
fish that has less brains to the else of its
, head than any other living creature. It
the fresh water kind aid that is the
kind we are talking about delights to

creeks. Go fishing, catch one, examine
the amount of braiss it has and then de
cide if the term "mullet head" does not
correctly describe Lambertson when he
gravely informed the class in economics
at the state university that a redund
ancy of money had a tendancy to pro
duce lower prices.

Warned something by past experiences
In fighting republicans and corporations
that tha man that the republicans don't
want ns to nominate, is the very man
whom we should nominate. The only
hope that the republicans have for suc
cess in theeomJog campaign Is to de
ceive the foaioniata into patting p weak

poll the whole lasioa vote. . It is hardly
probable that the fusion forces will take

stitutlon, and actlnthe same way as

property and real estate in April. These
are then adjusted by. county equaliza-
tion boards, and for. .tate
county totals are adjusted by state
equalization boards. When so adjusted,
the lists are turned over to the county
and state treasurers for collection.
Now, during N the spring and summer
months, some oortiou of the state is
sure to be devastated by drouths or by
floods or wind and bail storms. flropi

townspeople sutler, and in many cases,
lose everything. Yet the tax stands

the action of an unjust law, or a law
which contains no provisions as to such
calamities, they must pay it before be
coming delinquent, or sutler an addi
tional burden hi interest as a tine for
non-payment. ' '- .
Are such laws just, are they equitable,
are they humane, are they in harmony
with the basic ideas ot our government
and institutions? The aim should be to
adjust the tax burdens equitable upon
all. but the working ol the law in these
cases is decidedly in accord with the
saying: "Unto him that hath shall be
given; but from him that hath not, shall
be taken away even that which he I
hath." Often times a number of farm-
ers will lose their crops and bandings,

his neighbor loses little or nothing; yet
the loser mnst pay the tax, even to the
possibility ot a distress warrant. While
the non-loser's income makes it easy for
him to pay. The state takes away that
which the loser has. left, while the more
fortunate neighbor or some money
shark is given the chance by the state
law to buy np the loser's farm or lot for
taxes or at mortgage sale. ' The laws
should be so changed as to allow the
county board of equalization to strike
from the list for that year the name of
the taxpayer who can give satisfactory
proof of loss from such cause. Such a
law would be In harmony with the idea
that governments are instituted among
men for the purpose of administering
justice and protecting the weak. Under
present systems ot taxation and finance,
this is only theoretically, not practically
true. Governments now protect the
strong and the rich, while the poor and
the weak have to look out tor them-
selves.
RIFF-RAFF AND SKULKERS.
In justice to the readers of their papers
the republican editors should publish a
dictionary giving definitions ot the
words that they nse when writing for
their mullet head readers. Now here is
the word "skulkers." That in republican
parlance means alighting soldier who
obeys every order ot his superior officers
without question, but who refuses to lie
and say a campaign has been ably man
aged when it baa been an utter failure.
The word "riff-raff," means the same
kind of a soldier who refuses to believe
that shooting Filipinos is just as much
fun as hunting rabbits. "Rift-raff and
sulkers" when joined by a conjunctive,
conjunction, means a fighting soldier
who does not believe that killing Filip
inos who are fighting to establish a
government by the consent of the gov
erned against a foreign foe in supporting
the principles of the government '
In all justice to their readers the re
publican editors should inform them in
this matter and let them know just
what they mean when they talk ot cer

from the Philippines and call them "riff

News comes from London to the effect
that all the South "American republics
are forming a coalition in opposition
to the United States. The doctrine of
imperialism as advanced by the adher
ents of McKinley have led these republics
to believe that their turn to be annexed
will come in the near future and they
are determined to prepare for it It will
he noticed that .this news comes from
London. It is likely that British diplo.
mats are at the bottom of the whole
matter. It is In tine of the policy fol
lowed by them for the last - three bun
drti years. If they can persuade the
republics ol the world to go to fighting,
onto! the wreck England will gather
tnem in. .
Two years ago the Sooth American
republics looked upon the United States
as an elder brother. When they jgot
into trouble with European monarchies
they appealed to as. Now they look
upon us as enemies to be feared. The
flrey words used by Senator Uoar and
ex-Secretary Boutwell when denouncing
McKinley as the destroyer of this repub
lic, as the days pass by, seem to be
words of prophesy. What Is ahead of
us no man can tell. At present we seem
to hare thrown overboard the compae
and are uriving before a gale upon the
rocks. What will this nation do with
all the world our enemies? Our friends
have been the republics, but imperialism
is fast making enemies of them. From
the proudest position among the na
tions of the earth, McKinley is fast drag
ging ns down to everlasting destruction
A REFORMED DEMOCRAT.
Tobe Caster earns his salary. At least
one would judge so from his recent ac
tivity in the southeastern counties of
this state. Tobe Isn't letting the grass
grow under his feet. He has performed
some great feats lately. He got a gold
democrat to reform, join the church and

Now his protege is a howling Bryan
man with an "if." He's tor fusion but
certain things must be done or there
can he no anion of forces. , That is the
style of the Tobe campaign just at pres.
ent. Start out as many disgruntled
men calling themselves Bryan democrats
as can be found and make just as much
trouble as possible, all the time howling
for Bryan. If they keep that op during
this campaign, Tobe thinks that they
can make a big split when the real fight
comes on next year. No one can blame
Tobe. He is conscienciously determined
to earn his salary. -The sice of that sal

,' A DIFFERENCE.
We take a great deal' of pleasure In
making a remark once in a while about
tie independent Herald, because it gives
Brother Brown a starter for thought
iL.i, m.1 j f a a . ' .
nu scwiuaie wiin au tne
glory of finished rheoric. 4 In his last
isue he devotes his whole editorial page
to the Independent. He says
"To a very great extent the Nebraska
Independent is as despicable a sheet as
the Nebraska State Journal. There is a
difference of degree only between the
paper which singles out individuals and
slanders them for political reasons and
the paper which for similar reasons
aims its slander at another party or a
school of thought with which it is at
variance." . -
The expression of, opinions and the
statement of what purports to be fact,is
a distinction which men of Brother
Brown a reasoning capicity are unable
to make. The opposition to a school of
thought is a very different thing from
folsy accusing the best citizens of this
state of theft and similar crimes. Sup
pose that Brother Brown lets up on the
Independent for one issue and give ns
bis opinion ot socialism and its recent
applications to life, as exemplified at
RuBkin and similar socialist colonies
established in the last few years. Let
him entitle his
article: "Socialism in
Practice."
A NEW GENIUS. 1
The genius of Special War Correspon
dent Harrison surprises even his em
ployers. The article in the San Francis
co Chronicle is, by common consent
attributed to him. Some phrases in the
article show the erue scintillations of a
heretofore unrecognized literary genius.
Listen! "Governor Poynter of Nebras
ka, who arrived unattended yesterday
afternoon, went "to the Palace Hotel
ostensibly as the state's official represen
tative." Now the word "ostensibly''
shows genius when applied to the ac
knowledged governor of the state. A
little further along he does better and
says ot the governor of Nebraska: "He
is a private party." Farther along he
does better still. He declares that Ad
jutant General Barry and Col. Stark
"emerged from their lodging house."
Now that is fine. Just think of two offi
cers doing a thing like that when the
great Whedon, Nebraska's true repre
sentative, was right there to see it 1 AU
that was eclipsed, however, by the fol
lowing bit of artistic descriptive writing
"Governor Poynter was himself followed
by a republican newspaper man to an
out ot the way town on the Elkhorn
road and there discovered bnying a
ticket" Creelman, McCutcheon, Richard
Harding Davis and all the rest ot the
war correspondents will now take back
seats. No man on earth can equal that
and there Is no use to try-
It is no use to try. A populist can't
do anything that will please a mullet
bead. If the state officers had not done
anything toward taking care ot the boys
of the First npon their arrival in this
country they wonld nave been de
nounced as copperheads and traitors
from one end ot the state to the other.
When they did everything that was pos.
sible tor the soldier's comfort, both for
the sick and the well, they were de
nounced ,or making babies of them. A
mnllet head Is so internally and intern
ally depraved, rotten and wrong, inside
and outside, that there is no nse in pay
ing any attention to Mm.
ANARCHY IN DEW YORK.
' A New York newspaper which has the
reputation of close relations with the
de facto rulers of New York, Mr. Richard
Croker and Tammany Hall, commenting
upon the dynamiting of the columns
supporting the Brooklyn elevated rail
road daring the strike disorders of last
week, said:
"The men who destroyed the supports
ol tne elevated road deserve death.
Hang the dynamiters, and hang
them quickly. - If necessary to the point
ing of a moral lesson, hang them first
and convict them afterward.
An innocent man on the gibbet has ail
tne force and effect of a gouty one."
Such sentiments as that are in perfect
accord with the policy of this govern
ment, ran as it is under the manage
mont of beasts . of greed like Mark
Hanna, "An innocent man on the gib
bet" td terrorize the people into submis
sion to the demands of the trusts is the
natural outcome ot this whole policy
that has been followed by the republi
can party for the last twenty-five ytars.
The sight that meets the eyes is not a
man swinging by a rope from a beam
above his head, nevertheless it is the in
nocent man on the gibbet Thousands
of graves have been filled with them
within fthe last quarter of a century
The gibbets of suicide, starvation and
insanity have been used. There the in
nocent hang by the thousand every year
of our lives. The men who used dyna
mite should be hung on a gibbet, no
honest man will deny that But what
should be done with the street car man
agers who have killed hundreds of chil
dren in Brooklyn to save the cost of fen
ders on their cars? Should they be
given cushioned seats in the churches
while they destroy the innocent by the
hundred?
REPUBLICAN YAHOOS.
The economic laws . that govern the
production and distribution of wealth
are perfectly well known to the man
agers or tne republican party.- The
things that they have done have not
been done in' ignorance. They have en'
acted laws that would result in the con
centration of wealth, not ignorantly.
but purposely. The votes that have en
abled them to do this have come from
the ignorant and the prejudiced. They
have wrought oat the fortunes of the.
millionaires from the men who vote the
party name. These vast accumulations
ot wealth were foretold by all the econo
mists and what would produce them
pointed out John Stuart Mill says:
"When inequality of wealth once com
mences in a community its advances are
gigantic The great mass of wealth
swallows np the smaller. The Roman
empire ultimately became covered with
vast landed estates of comparatively few
families, for whose luxury, and still
more for whose ostentation, the most
costly products were raised, while the
cultivators of the soil were slaves, or
small tenants in nearly a servile condi
tion. From this time the wealth ot the
empire progressively declined."
Concentration of wealth in few hands
will result in the death of any nation.
The leaders of the republican party
know this. Their gold standard profes
sors in the university know it. They see
bow wealth concentrates with ever in
creasing velocity in these United States,
They know the cause of it Yet they
continue to advocate the policies that
produce it Why? Simply for a little
present honor and actuated by the
same sort ot instinct found in Dean
Swift's Yahoos.
' UNFATHOMABLE ROTTENNESS.
The moral rottenness of the republican
party in this state is unfathomable. ' It
there was anything honest left in the
managers, they would not continue to
publish lies from week to week. The
State Journal is not the only republican
paper that seems determined . to make
the campaign on falsehoods and slander.
The whole republican press of the state
is given over to absolute, wholesale and
retail lying. The Stanton Picket says:
"Edmisten, as oil inspector, rode on
passes, and charged up mileage to the
state at the same time, thus extracting
cash from the state to swell his own
private bank account Edmisten is
'reformer."
vne editor oi tne ricxet can make no
excuse for such lying,- He knows that a
legislative committee with a majority of
his own party on it, reported that Ed
misten bad never drawn a cent from the
state for mileage or for any other pur
pose. We would like some of the old
farmer pops to tell as what they think
about this gang of universal and ever
lasting liar and their idea of how they
should be treated.
For a hundred years the ship of stats
has sailed on with the Declaration of
Independence and the constitution for
chart and compass. Now that the waves
roll high and the storms beat and surf
beaten rocks are in sight McKinley pro
poses to throw the chart and compass
overboard, put Mark Hanna at the
wheel and let her drive. To that we ob
ject While we have steered by that
chart and been guided by that compass,
we have outridden every storm, we have
never grounded on a shoal or ran on a
rock. No matter how high the waves
have rolled or how fierce the tornados
have raged, the old ship has outridden
them all. We will stick to the chart and
and compass a while longer.
The republican smut committee has
been trying very hard to ruin the repu
tation ot some of Nebraska's former
state officers, especially that of ex-gov
ernor ilolcomb. Ihe committee was
appointed to investigate the supreme
court and all of the state offices. Wi
would like to know if Mark Hanna
fund has run out? It must be rather ex
pensive to have such witnesses.We do
not think this committee intended to do
anything but make political capital ai d
in that they have made a complete fail
ure. They have made the charges an
the governor has answered them in such
a way that the dumbest mullet head in
the Btate cannot help - but see that he is
all right and that the committee did
not intend to do anything but Blander
him in order to keep him from getting
the nomination for the supreme bench
this fall. They seem to know that the
ex-governor would be the hardest man
for them to defeat and they thought
they could down him before the conven
tion, but they can now see that the peo
pie will not take any stock in their paid
witnesses.
The theology that seems to be making
progress in the world might with perfect
propriety be called "spiritualized ra
tionalism." The theology of thirty
years ago is nowhere preached now, not
even in the strictest orthodox churches
But religion has not been overthrown
It has made the grandest stridesthat it
has ever made, daring the last quarter
of a century. It marches on by the side
of science and culture everywhere.. It
would be better if some ministers would
acknowledge this and tell their congre
gations that while some ot the old dog
mas were wrong, Christ is still the
leader of the ever advancing hosts ot
humanity. Some of the political parties
have put into their doctrine the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man. It is high time that the churches
did it and when they did it, preach it
from the pulpit. That is the theological
expression of what Jefferson said in the
Declaration of Independence. If men
are brothers, then all men are equal,
just as Jefferson said they were.
What has Bryan to say to the fact
that more pianos have been shipped to
the farmers of the west in the past three
months than had been shipped in the
previous three years? Philadelphia Bui
letin.

When the Burlington magnates con
dudes to raise taxation in this state it
don't take them longto do it They don't
consult any one and make no fuss about
the matter. The other day the directors
concluded to issue 85,000,000 of bonds
in addition to the enormous amount
outstanding. The interest on those
bonds will have to be paid by the people
residing along their lines. They will be
taxed just that much more than they
have been for the benefit of the bond
holders. The mullet heads will never
have sense enough to find it out. All
they will know is that times have grown
a little harder. The directors of the
Burlington sized them up about right
They know that theee republican idiots
will never be able to find out that the
Borlington has raised their rate of tax
ation. , .
The goldbugs who still cling to the
name of democrat in spite of all that
Bryan can do to get rid of them, have
concocted another plan to defeat bimet
alistn. They propose to run Carter Har
rison on the Chicago platform with the
ratio between silver and gold eliminated.
They are to declare for bimetalism and
say nothing about a ratio. How many
people do yon think that will fool. If
we have the coinage of both gold and
silver1 at all, there mast be some ratio.
The party that proposes to coin both
and is too cowardly to say at what ra
tio, wonld be the laughing stock of the
world.
REPUBLICAN EDITORIAL.
The brilliancy of the editorial writing
found in the republican , dailies can be
judged from the following item taken
from the columns of the Bee.
"Although realty values on the aggre
gate have advanced fully 25 per cent as
compared with prices during the drouth
and distress period, ahd, although the
wealth of the state is known to have
been increased by more than one-fourth
as compared with what it was daring
the hard times, the grand assessment
roll ot the state shows only a nominal
increase."
That is to say that everybody knows
that wealth in the state has Increased
25 per cent, but when .a systematic in
vestigation was made, it was found that
it hadn't, bit howsomeever and never-
the test wealth has increased 35 per
cent That is a good average republi
can editorial.
INTRINSIC NONSENSE.
The goldbugs of New York are now
sendiug out regularly, free of charge,
their magazine entitled "Sound Curren
cy." The very name of it is a fraud and
n . k m MMJ 4 - i:i . .
nniau, aiiuiis wuwuu art) line unto
its name. It was one of these magazinoe
that Lambertson had before bim when .
he solemnly announced to the students
ot the department of economics that a
large volume of money made low prices.
He had seen it in this fake publication
and took it for, gospel truth. .
This publication adopts a ponderous
style, which it thinks will pass it off as
having been written by men of great
learning. To add to that impression it
fills the bottom of the pages with refer. )
mi . . .
encea. i ne consistency ot tne authors is
shown by the fact that during all the
last campaign they denied the quantity
theory of money. Lambertson 's silly
talk was taken from its pages. It also
held to the "intrinsic value" of gold. In
its last issue it abandons its former con-
tentions in regard to value, and, all un
conscious of the effect of its words, says:
"The value of fiduciary currency depends
not upon its volume but UDon tha. esti
mate placed by the public upon its fu
ture worth."
If that means anything at all it gives
up their whole former contention. Yalue
is not "intrinsic." It is an estimate of
the human mind. It is an idea. It is
an acknowledgment that Senator John
P. Jones' definition of value in
"Value," says Senator Jones, "is human
estimation placed on desirable objects,
the quantity of which is limited." . When
these goldbugs used the words "estimate
placed upon," they accepted Senator
Jones' definition. What then becomes
of their "intrinsic" nonsense?
NEW DOUBLE STANDARD.
The three mullet heads from Beatrice
and elsewhere, who imagined that they
were an investigating committee seem
to go on the theory that there are two
standards of morals in this state. . One
for republicans and an entirely different
one for populists. They do not deny
that Granny Thayer drew 12,900 for
house rent when he had no house rent to
pay, for he did not keep honse at all.
That was morally right because Granny
Thayer was a republican. Crounee did
not draw any house rent at all. He pre
ferred to viola'te that section of the con
stitution which provides that the gov
ernor shall live at the capitol. For
Crounee to violate the constitution was
morally right, because he was a republi
can, not to draw house rent when he
was not keeping house, was an act of
the very highest virtue For a populist
to draw house rent appropriated by the
legislature, furnish vouchers that it was
actually paid to the owner of the house
and file them in the state archives, is
morally wrong a crime in fact because
the man who did it was a populist To
be a good mullet head one mnst believe
in a single gold standard for money, but
double standard for morals. Tha
three mullet heads who came to Lincoln
to establish a double moral standard
absolutely failed in their attempt. A
populist believes in one standard both
money and of morals.- The whole
amount of money in circulation makes
the standard of payment The right '
doing of all men is this standard of
morals. .
TE8, WE LIKE IT.
One of the republican weeklies savs
that "the Independent doesn't seem to
like the way the republicans are running
the campaign." Now, there is just
where that republican editors mistaken.
We are delighted with the way they have
started out The public campaign that
they made last fall was delightful. It
was also amusing. They changed their
plan of campaign about every two
weeks. At first they undertook to run
the1 campaign on the hay on the capitol
grounds. Then they tried butterine.
Their state central committee boarded
at a hotel where they had nothing but
butterine on the tables and they ate it
everyday. That did not hinder them
from trying to run the campaign on the
fact that the populists fed prisoners and
sometimes the insane patients on butter
ine, nor did the fact that when they were
in power they fed even the old soldiers
butterine. For a week they tried it on
that line and then gave it np as a bad .
job. Then they tried the Home of the
Friendless, and worked that for a while
until one of their own judges told them v
they hadn't a color of law to sustain
their contentions. This year they have
started a campaign of slander. They
accused Allen ot entering government''
land and Holcomb of misappropriating
public money, all of which they have had
to take back. No. we are not at alf dis
satisfied, with the way the republicans
are running their campaign. On the
contrary we are highly delighted with it
The republicans are now engaged in
organising new parties. They tried to
start one In New York the other day
and Judge Moore, a popnlist renegade
and traitor in Sonth Dakota, has been
employed by Mark Hanna to play the
same game in South Dakota. That has
been tried several times In Nebraska
Dill Deck's campaign cost the republi
cans a lot of money and ha polled 114
votes In a whole congressional district.
Their xperianea. with Steebins and
Llchty will prove jnst as costly and have
no better results.
