THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT.
Aug. 17, 1899.
THEORY OF TREASON.
mmm mmmmm
The lUpobllean Purly Bm Maintained
Itself in Power While Robbing the
FftopU by That Cry.
No popnlist leader, no populist plat
form ak that our troops be called up
on to retreat while under Are. What
we do demand is that the iteresta of hu
manity, 'the Declaration of Indepen
dependence and the principles which have
hate formed the foundation for every
Fourth of July speech, which has been
delivered in this country since our peo
ple formed an Independent government,
be applied in the interests of the Filipino
people. If this be treason, then Senator
Hoar, who for more than forty years
has been one of tbe most distinguished
leaders in the republican party. Is -a
traitor; if this be treason, then former
United States Senator Edmonds, lor
many years esteemed one of tbe hibwit
and most able leaders of the republican
party, is a traitor; if this be treason,
then the late Bobert G,, InRersoll, woo
first gained fame for tbe speech in which
he nominated James Q. Blaine for tbe
presidency and who consistently sup.
ported every republican candidate for
the presidency since that time, was a
traitor, for, his last public utterance was
a protest against that war; if this be
treason, then old John 8herman who
has long been one of tbe central, figures
in the republican citadel, is a traitor; if
this be treason, then United States' Sen
ator Hale, who has for thirty years rep
resented the republican party in con
gress, is a traitor; if this be treaon,theu
ft can be shrewdly suspected that Hon.
Thomas B. Reed, whose picture adorned
tbe platform at the same republican con
vention, is a traitor, for it is well known
by every one who knows him, how
strongly opposed he is to annexing these
islands. It can be een. therefore, that
we are in very distinguished republican
company. ....
A political party roust feel its cause a
weak one, indeed, when it is 00m pulled
to resort to the practice of calling names
in its platform. Whenever a man gets
tbe worst of an argument, he always
seeks a refuge by firing epithets at the
other fellow. In this case, tbe cry of
"tresson" will deceive no one. There
has been 0, time in this country when it
was a powerful aid to the republican
party. That time has passed- In those
days the fires of sectionalism burned
high and the wounds caused by a terrific
civil strnpgle were too deep to be easily
healed. The republican party was en
abled, therefore, to maintain itself in
power for many years, after it repre
sented nothing but the Interests of the
monopolies which obtained control of it
very soon after the termination of the
war and which nave retained control of
it ever since. The Bayonet.
IT WASN'T SO,
Meaty DeeUrei That He did Mot Attend
ay Alliance Meeting out at Kearney.
In last weeks paper you say, you are
informed that I am oontinuallytravel
ing over the state, engaged in political
Intrigue, and then you ' enquire who
tarnishes the money to pay such ex
penses. I beg to assure you, that your
Informant is a deceiver, I have not
been away' from home for mora than
tJx weeks, and have done little besides
aiding ray wife in tbe card of an infant
child, which has been unwell. I have
been away from she city but three times
this year, and In each ease l went to
examine damaged property, which is in
sured in a company of which I am presi
dent; and I have been such official since
the organization 01 the company in
1801. Each time I returned home by
first train alter my work was done, and
the company always pays my every ex
pense and per diem, as it should. Cir
cumstances have kept me so close at
home, some of my friends failing to see
me'dowrf town as in past seasons, had
gotten tbe idea that we had removed
from the city. When I was called to
see storm damaged buildings tor Cbas,
Israel and others near Kearney June SO,
the World Herald published a long
article, saying there was a meeting of
the direst consequence, in my room at
the hotel. Tbe truth is, there was no
such meetings at all, while I was there.
I was tbe only person in that room
The article also stated that Mr. Mallalieu
was at tbe meeting. That is not true.
1 only met Mr. Mallalieu on tbe street in
the evening by merest accident, after I
was seated in a livery rig to go to the
country. We talked not to exoeed two
minutes, and each went bis way. You
published tbe entire World Herald arti
cled oubtleos thinking it true. While I
was waiting at Kearney for my return
train, I was approached by a ua mber of
Alliance men, who desired data to pre
pare an address to the voters of tbe
state. I gave tbem each information as
I possessed. What I gave tbem was en
tirely true, and free from exaggeration.
There was nothing new in it, for it had
all appeared in tbe daily papers, and
could not De contradicted
I did not stay for the alliance meeting
but took the first train home. To all of
which I will cheerfully make affidavit,
and I can also prove it. - So you see the
facts are lar different from what some
Annauiaa told you.
In past years I did much to help eatab
lish an independent weekly paper. Until
last February, It always treated me
very lairly; and stood ready to publish
my sentiments and d fend them. If I
bow can be granted tbe oonrteey of a
publication of this card, I will indeed
feel very greatful Quite likely, many of
tbe unpleasant thrusts at me in recent
issnes of Tlis Independent, would not
have appeared if I bad taken tbe time to
keep tbe editor informed as to tbe truth
and the fact.
Very respectfully,

copperheads and traitors comes from
the very heart of the republican camp.

lead of the president. Jefferson Davis

STRAIGHT TALK.
The Fla In the PhlUlpplnes, "ays Bena-
tor Pettigrew, Is a Symbol of Murder.
"This government should recall every
soldier in tbe Philippines' immediately,
appologtee to tbe world for the error j
we have made, ana turn tne wianun over-
to a native government."
United States Senator. R. F. Pettigrew
of South Dakota, who was at the Audi-
torlum yesterday on his way from the .
east to his borne in Sioux Falls, gave the .
foregoing as, in his opinion, the only I,
honorable course for this country tO(
pursue in the orient Senator Pettigrew j
was elected in 1894 Ion the republican ,
ticket, and was one oi those wno ioi-
lowed Senator Teller when the Colorado
man walked out of tbe BE. L-ouis con-
ventionofl896. He also voted against
the ratification ol the treaty with ftpain.
Yesterday be said: . .
"We found a Icountry ot 8,000,00L
oeoole with an established governmeorAr" 11.
and an army of 80,000. This govern-
ment had been onr ally, had taken four
times as many prisoners as we, and had
treated tbem according to ine usages oi

tlonal and in violation of every princi-,
pie of onr government. The president's
talk about 'who shall haul down the .
flag,' when we have made the flag sym-j
bolic of murder aud illegal conquest, is
contemptible. We have no more right
to take the rniiippinee man rranoe nau
tn take the colonies at tbe close of the
revolutionary war on the pretext that '
we were Protestants aud that our civili-.
lation would be bettered by our being
compelled to adopt the Cat holic religion.
We give as an excuse for our outrageous
coure in the Philippines thatwedeeire
to give tbem civilization and tneuioii.
That has been tbe same excuse made
wrongfully to acquire territory and
commit murder in doing so ever since
there was a Bible and for ages before.
Most of tbe ones who are fighting us are
Catholic. If we want to kill tat holies '
in order to help the march of civiliza
tion we need not go so far away from '
home. I
"This 'civilizing war talk is all a

to our shame that we ever raised it, and
the outrage should be remedied. We

his administration mark an era in our
history, lie certainly is succeeding, but
it will be an era which, It this policy is
continued, will prove a curse to ns."
Speaking ot the general political situ
ation, Senator Pettigrew said:
"Bryan will be nominated by acclama
tion. Croker's recent utterance is not
worth coosideratioa. 1 hope that he
will not support Bryan, for such support
will do blm more harm than good. He
may have come over to Bryan la order
to con'rol some delegations and change
the Chicago platform. The democracy
should reaffirm that platform and add

since. The republican talk aa-aiast trusts

Uexloaa Troops ' Reported to Have
Quailed the Indian Uprising.
Quatmas, Mexico, Aug, 16. MUU
tary operations in the Taqul valley
culminated Friday in a series of
engagements and the final rout
and dispersal of the Indians. The
Taquls in rebellion had concen-
j trated their forces at . Vicam on
the south bank. , Oenerat ,1 Torres
began offensive . operations . on
J Thursday. After a sharp engage

dead on the field. The Mexican loss
was ten killed and twenty-tWo wound
ed. General Torres returned to Orin
for the night and the next morning
he began the march to Vicam. The
troops dislodged the Yaquis and killed
, four. Five of the Twelfth , battalion
and one man of the national guard
were wounded. '
Following the enemy closely, Torres
found another force of Indians in
trenched behind the bank of the irri
gation canal, where the road crosses.
After half an hour of yfighting tbe
Taquls were driven from this position
with a loss of six killed. One Mexi
can sergeant and three soldiers were
wounded. v
The Yaquis are now scattered in
small parties, and it is improbable
that they will concentrate again. .The
rest of the campaign will probably
consist of hunting out the renegades
from their hiding places, .

was captured last 'night between

Miss Edna Perkins as the man who
attempted to assault her last week as
she was going home near Turner.
Miss Perkins is positive in her ideutU

Owing to his mental condition it is
not thought that any attempt at vio

Nez Forces Lands.
f Only 100 miles southeast of the fertile
green fields of Eastern Washington, be
tween the clearwater and Salmon rivers,
lies what wae long known as tbe NVz
Pereea Indian country, only recently
thrown open to settlement and mining.
Since the early sixties when $38,000,
000 was washed out of the rich placers
of tbe Clearwater aud Salmon rivers it
has been a tradition among miners that
some day great gold discoveries would
be made in the Ntz Perces country. Tbe
enormous cost ot transportation, re
moteness from civilization and conse
quent impossibility of carrying on large
mining operations left tbe rich quartz
ledges the mother-lodes of the placers
untouched. Almost simultaneously
with tbe completion of tbe Northern
Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spo
kane, came the announcement of the
discovery In the Buffalo Hump range of
immense ledges of gold bearing quarts
which, crooping ont . above tbe serface,
and twenty feet or more in width, ex
tend in different directions for many
miles. The rapid extension of tbe dear
water Line of tbe Northern Pacific, now
building along the river from Lewiston,
will soon throw this heretofore almost
' Inaooosible country open to capital, and
