performs no service at all. All his gains
Are clean stealings.
The efforts of the money power, who
by capturing all the avenues of informa
tion, expect "to fool all the people all the
time," will not succeed if there is any
courage left in the American people.
There is no doubt that there are more
men in the United States who have the
kind of courage that will walk up to the
canon's mouth, than in any other nation
on earth. The question Ls, have they
the courage to fight this unseen foe that
works in the stealth and the darkness of
night?
The height of modern republican
statesmanship seems to be to treat the
people as a lot of ignoramuses and then
lie to them, thinking that they will not
know enough not to believe their lies.
The idiocy of the average mullet head
gives them some excuse for such a course.
Many are to be found among those who
pride themselves upon the fact that they
are ""business men." How often we have
seen such chaps say: "I don't pretend to
know any thing about the financial ques
tion and I think that those things should
be left to the bankers and financiers."
A mullet head will brag of his ignorance.
We have all seen them do it But these
republican statesmen make a mistake
when they rely upon the supposition
that a majority of the American citizens
are wholly ignorant and proud of it
vThen a mullet head is not bragging
about his ignorance he assumes the other
extreme, claims that he knows it all, and
every one who disagrees with him is a
lunatic. One of these sort, down in Mis
souri said to his neighbor: "Why, how
-can a sensible man like you be in favor
of this free silver craze? Don't you know
that if we had a free silver law every
man could get him a set of dies and
make all the silver money he wanted?"
The news suppressors and argument
avoiders have won their victories mainly
by catch phrases and the denunciation
, of every sound economic proposition.
This and the calling of their opponents
bad names is their whole stock in trade.
McKinley and his cabinet are having a

It beats all how many corner stones
President McKinley has to lay down

up. Lincoln spent no time with hi

to his official duties. Johnson was so

V
Mark Hanna must be scared almost to
death over the prospects of carrying
Ohio this fall. They have taxed every
office holder and appointee in the state
and every one in Washington and it is
probable that the trusts and corpora
tions have been bled to get money.
There are a hundred thousand voters in
Ohio who expect money for every vote
they put in and then the counters must
have good pay. It looks dark when they
count out more votes than they have
men twenty -one years old.

Now the gold bug democrats and re
publicans think they have got Bryan
under the heel. Ten years ago he wrote
Morton that he would accept a secre
taryship for the money more thaa for
the honor. It certainly showed good
sense. The pay was good but the honor
very small. To be a secretary or clerk
anywhere is not considered a post of
honor. Had he placed the pay above
duty and obligations to his country it
would have been criminal.
V
On one page of the Journal we are
told that Bryan was poor, could not
make a living and wanted an office for
the money there was in it then on the
next page we are told that his ability
commands two or three thousand dollars
a week and he is making money hand
over fist and had already made his tens
of thousands. We rather have such a
record than one of bankruptcy and sale
of body and soul to a millionaire money
shark as was the case with McKinley.

Chaplain Mailey has discovered a new
duty for church members, that of talk
ing for, voting for and fighting for the
president in power right or wrong dur
ing war times. Supposing McKinley is
not able to murder all the Filipinos in
twenty years, must we keep him at it all
that time? No, wrong is wrong any
where and at any time. The doctrine
that kings and presidents cannot do
wrong has long since been trampled
under foot and Rov. Mailey is a disgrace
to the Methodist church. He ought to
join the Catholic church and preach the
infalibiiities of the pope and then his
religion and politics would harmonize.
How beautiful it looks to see the two
strongest nations on the face of the earth
fighting two small republics, just for
conquest and the money there is in it
It is still more beautiful to see preach
ers and bishops stand up and proclaim
that we are only shooting the gospel of
Christ into savages. Just so they told
us fifty years ago that slavery was only
Christianizing to niggers.
V
Now is the time for plain living on the
the score of economy and also on the
side of health. Plain living is much
more healthful than high living. Half
sick people go into sanitariums by the
thousand and pay big money for the
privilege of living plain and cheap.
They call it dieting for health. It is a
fact, and everybody admits it, that as a
people we live too high for health. We
eat to much meat and too much sweet
and drink too much coffee, saying nolh
ing about the more heal'h destroying to
bacco and intoxicating liquor habits. An
exclusive vegitable diet, including milk,
butter and eggs, is undoubtedly the most
healthful. Meat is too concentrated a
for health and long life. A little soup
may answer, and by the way liquid food
is much more healthy than colids. We
dq,not eat soups half enough. The same
amount of food made into soups vill
suprort life a third longer than if taken
in solids. Then this kind of fxd lessens
exense. As food is selling today, five
cents in potatoes will go further than
nix cents in corn or ten cents in wheat,
and ten cents in wheat will go further
than twenty in meat Apetite and rel
ish are cultivated by indulgence. We
learned to like tomatoes, so we can make
ourselves relish almost any kind of food.
We were disgusted the other dny, after
giving a woman a quarter to feed her
starving children, to hear that she paid
twenty cents of it for a surloin steak.

Hammond's "Marier" Escaped.
There is an organization in Nebraska
known as the "Nebraska Republican
Newspaper Federation." The president
of this organization is Koss L. Hammond,
editor of the Fremont Tribune: the se
cretary is W. E. Dayton, editor of the
York Republican.
Following is a circular recently is
sued: FEDERATION REPUBLICAN NEWS
PAPERS. Dear Sir: With the hope of inducing
united effort this circular is addressed
to the members of the Nebraska Repub
lican Newspaper Federation.
In general it may be stated that an ob
viously beneficial policy to pursue is one
that will tend, first to create dissatisfac
tion in the ranks of the fusionists and
divide their forces; and second, to
strengthen and consolidate the republi
can party in the state. To achieve the
first object each member must be left
free to exercise his own judgment as the
situation differs in some respects in var
ious counties of the state. We desire
only to urge that the value of this policy
be kept continually in the mind and that
the members exercise their influence ac
cordingly. Let the members
bear in mind to put special stress upon
the election of county judges and clerks,
since these two officers have charge of
the appointment of election boards, and
canvassing the election returns, both
of which will be of vast significance dur
ing the presidential election of next
year.
It is the custom of some members 01
the Federation to matte combinations
with fusion papers for clubbing purposes.
All in all, it is obviousiy a disadvantage
to the party for repuoucan papers to en
gage in the circulauou of fusion litera
ture among the peopie and should, we
believe, be discount!!, for it must di
rectly tend to the injury of republican
editors who do it
The chairman of tn republican state
central committee luuurses this plan for
the work of the repuoucan papers and
E ledges his own ana (he committee's
earty co-operation. Assuring you that
there have been many evidences of ap
preciation of the power and usefulness
of the Federation auu commending you
to be vigilant and diligent, we remain,
fraternally, ROSS L HAMMOND,
President
W. E. DAI TON, secretary,
For low down campaigning the above
circular takes the cane. Stir up strife
among neighbors to encompass party
ends. The venerable od devil himself
must be.adviser-in-cnief of the Republi
can Newspaper Federation. The scheme
is already working in strong populist
counties the republicans tell the demo
crats they are being swallowed by the
pops, and in democratic counties they
bear the same lying taie to the populists.
When republican politicians approach
you with such statements just tell them
to mind their own Dusiness ana go to
their father, the devil, and a vigorous
kick added would help them on their
way. Notice carefully the advice to give
particular attention to the election of
county judges and clerks, because these
two officers appoint ''""ion boards and
canvass election returns. Now the only
advantage to the republicans to have
these officers to do crooked work on
election day and the design undoubtedly
is to attempt the stealing of an election
that they know it is impossible for them
to honestly win. Watch the rascals and
see that they get no more judges and
clerks than they are fairly entitled
to. But the meanest thing is this ex
ceedingly mean circular is to keep re
publicans from investigating both sides
of the question. They are afraid to have
the people read the populist newspapers.
They want to run a campaign of preju
dice and ignorance. They are doing
even worse than that they attemp to
drown the voices of our speakers by loud
and unsual noises and by blowing dis
cordant trumpets in or near our audien
cesthis they did at both Seward and
Ashland, and they will probably do it
elsewhere. It has teen the custom of
the fusion press to club with any repub
lican paper in the nation. Most of our
people love to read that kind of papers
in order tc witness the strange antics of
the literary jackasses that edit them.
Most any pop in Nebraska can answer
any argument contained in the ablest
republican newspaper, and our journals
have no fear of republican competitors.
The Bee and State Journal have received
thousand of subscrilwrs by clubbing
with populist newspapers and their rev
enues will be sadly cut if the populists
will apply the advice of this cowardly
federation. It Hpeaks badly for a party
when it is afraid of the fullest investi
gation. The committee has little
regard for their able newspapers
when they are not willing that
the Fremont Tribune and York Repub
lican shall come into competition with
the Sand Hill Socialist and the Bung
town Banner. The above is the most
foolish and cowardly circular that ever
issued from a political headquarters. O
Lord, how the old ship is leaking now.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT OPENS.
Movement Started Against Some Irish
Hew oers for Treason,
London, Oct 18. One of the first
things developed at the extraordinary
session of parliament was a move
ment against Irish members who have
been expressing very downright opin
ions against the country In the Trans

National forces may be defeated, etc.
On the other hand Laboucbere will
move an amendment to the address In
reply to the speech from the throne In
favor of arbitration In the Transvaal
imbroglio even at this late day. John
K. Redmond, Parnelllte member for
Waterford, will move an amendment
protesting against the war. Henry

gave notice of a question for tomor
row, concerning the alleged disloyal
utterances of a certain Irish National

of peers were present when the lord
high chancellor. Baron Ilalsbury, took
his seat upon the woolsack. The black

after a brief interval the speaker and

FLUKE BY AN ACCIDENT.
Seoond Cap Race Ends Five Miles from

New York, Oct 18. t'e topmast of
the cup challenger Shanftt&k carried
away twenty -five minutes after the big
single-sticker had crossed the starting
lino yesterday and her enormous club
topsail, with its 3,000 feet of canvas,
came rattling down on the deck, leav
ing her a hopeless cripple. No amount
of piuck or courage could face such a
catastrophe, and Captain Hogarth
immediately abandoned the race, tow
ing back to the anchorage after he had
cleared away the wreckage. The Co
lumbia continued over the course
alone, placing to her credit the second
of the races for the America's cup.
Had the accident not occurred, how
ever, it is believed that the Yankee
boat would have repeated the beating
she gave the challenger Monday. Dur
ing the twenty-live minutes the yachts
soiled bub had gone through the
Shamrock's lead and established a
lead of more than 300 yards on the

refused to claim It. To avoid Just such
a contingency, in which the beneficiary
of an accident ls always reluctant to
claim Ms rights, a Bpeclai clause was
added to the regular rules this year
leaving absolutely no option in the
matter.
The cause of the accident was that
