UTILE THINKS Jefferson declared that thare were certain, unalienable rights. McKinley says Spain had the power to cede to him thnw rights, and the old tyrant or tne dark ages having done so, if people whose unalienable rights were ceded ob j ipict thev are rebels. That is the differ ence between the statesmanship of M5 Kinley and Jefferson. The New York Journal in discussing tne foulness of Morton in publishing a private letter written in friendship and misrepresenting its contents, calls him the "unspeakable Morton," and winds up with this sentence: "The only thing that interests decent people anywhere with regard to Morton's noisome exploit is the question whether the creature i blackguardism is congenital or whether it was acquired through four year in a Cleveland administration." The Washington Post, an administra tion paper, calls the latest effort of devel ish malice put forth by Nebraska's great egotist, Morton, "the smallest variety of peanut politics." . The Washington Times another administration paper eays: "Whether it is due to former con nection with Cleveland regime or to in herent ignorance of the ordinary conven tions and decencies of civilized life, the course recently adopted by J. Sterling Morton, once a well known character around Washington, to revenge himself upon a political opponent, can only be regarded with disgust and contempt" What has become of the good old fash ioned republican who was so mortally afraid of the Cobden club and British influence in American affairs? Where can one of them be found? The repub lican of today is for British alliance. He wants the British gold standard. He wants imperialism and any other old thing that has the John Bull trade mark on it Mr. Atkinson came to the conclusion that if the annexation of Cuba would" be ''criminal aggression" as stated by Mc Kinley in bis first message, it would not be very different to forcible annex the Philippines. But the mullet head de clares that McKinley is a patriot and Atkinson a copperhead. Gen. Vifquain answers McKinley's question: "Who will haul down the Aug?" He says that it is McKinley who hauled it down from where it has floated for years in triumph and hoisted in its place the Union Jack up in Alaska. Who hauled down the flag? William McKin.ey hauled it down. Where? In Alaska. That will make a very good campaign cry. Iguinaldo has issued an order to his sodlers to go to raising crops. He is looting to furnishing supplies for the futue. When Otis starts out at the beginning of the dry season with his big army.'ie w.ll find but few soldiers to fight aid another big foot race before him. YhVA the rainy season comes tack Aj'MiVlo will be on hand again with iuf y of supplies and keep the oldv,r In h w aches through another rain hh'. f. o it will be "hell and reptt Jvhn I). Howe says, for one know h long. no Neith-r i imperialist or gold bug ever ttlked iiv minutes without contra dicting Limself.

While it is prwed forward the, with showers of shells and bullets, is itVtnnding for nelf. govtrntwtnt among the Filipinos? wanding rmy metM that every producer shall not only produce enough to support himself and family but one soldier besides. In this country it costs a little over a thousand dollars a year to support and arm a soldier, not counting the enormous cost of pensions. Take away Holcomb's unconquerable lust for office and there wouldn't be enough left of him to be worth a pass ing thought. Bixby, Reese has held office, including his place in the univer sity, just three times as many years as Holcomb, and still wants more. Bixby thinks that when a , renagade like Mailley joins the republican party it is a great gain, but when a man like Gen. Colby forsakes it, it is no loss. Bixby's profit and loss account seems to be in bad shape. He would do well to hire a bookkeeper. Every officer of the state or United States takes an oath to support the con stitution of the United States. The Malay that' the republicans have hired to canvass Nebraska would have us to believe that it is the duty of men to to violate their oaths and support the administration right or wrong. If, dur ing a time of war, the administration tramples the constitution under its feet, then all men must assist or they are traitors. Nothing more horrible or de grading was ever proclaimed irom a political platform. An alley should be left through the cen ter and the roosting poles extend from the alley to the wall. Shoe lxixes make tne best of nest boxes. Hens seem to like going into the dark end of a box for nesting, Three or four strips of glass. eight or ten inches wide, should be put into the south roof extending from ridge to eves. The house should only be used in the winter. Hens should be made to roost out doors in the summer for health. A box filled with road dust, with a good sprinkling of insect powder, Bhould stand in one corner of the poultry house for winter dust bathing. With a plenty of sucn oust you weu never be bothered with insects. Insects are death to small chicks. Ear corn is the cheapest grain iooa ana snouia do acceptable tne year round, men you can add scraps from the table and cooked food as you Like. A box of river sand should also be accept able, wnite nard coal ashes will fur nish the shell timber. If you would gather the greatest number of eggs, in the winter, you should never let your hens out of the house when the temper ature is Deiow twenty or during a storm, jnow, we are ready for the hens. Don t pay fabulous prices for fancy stock. Start in with fifty or a hundred early Eullets or hens, anything you can buy at utcher's prices. You can improve your stock afterwards. The Plymouth Rock is the best all around hen for etrirs. meat and quiet For early frying and long range roraging, tne ijeghorn takes the lead. They will "leave" out and round up fit for dressing in less time than any other variety. Your hens should not be let out of your yard before about noon as by that method your eggs are dropped where you can get at them and you can promise fresh eggs to the hotel and boarding house keeper and tret the high est market price , Now for raising chickens. The incu tor and brooder have shouldered the re sponsibility of the setting hen. But to start with, stretch a wire fence through the center of your poultry house and put your best hens by themselves. Do this the first of March. . Give them your best roosters, one for every ten or twelve hens. There is no difference whether the oth ers have any roosters or not When a hen is determined to set without your consent throw her into the other yard or into a prison and feed her well and in a week or ten days she will go to laying again. The main advantage of the incubator and brooder is that you can hatch your chickens when you please. Hens do not conclude to set until they please. There is no use in trying to tell before hand how to manage, you must read directions and try. You may fail at first, heat the eggs too hot or not warm enough, but it is the way to hatch chickens and do it with profit The brooder is warmed the same way. The most of the time in early spring the little chicks need a .warm room to hud dle into during the day and to sleep in during the night Provission must be made to prevent their huddling three or four deep and smothering the lower ones. To hatch a hundred chicks, tne primitive way, would require ten or tif teen hens. These hens can be kept lay ing while the incubator is doing the set ting and the brooder the clucking. You can make a further use of your poultry yard by plantintr apples, plums and cherries. The hens will stand guard over the fruit by eating the ineects that destroy it. lour entire outfit, if you have the land, will cost only about one hundred dollars and two or three hundred can be made every year. Let your hens forage afterdoons all over your farm, they will ion upu uur eueuues. reuovr citizens: in addressing you with these few lines I make no apology unless it is necessary to apologize for be. ing a citizen of this county. ' The writer has been a citizen of this county nearly thirty years, and claims to be a horny handed farmer, or, if you please, a fol lower of the most honorable calling to which rannkind belongs, and fully real izes his duty as a citizen. All should more fully realize the importance of the ballot Why is it, fellow farmer, that tne farmer, the back bone of the world, will use his skill and energy to make a success of his business, and after bowing uih duck in tne not sun and possibly raise but half a crop, will he so unmind ful of his own interest?. Why not have a mind of our own and not be dictated n ujr a cinsa wuuse seinsn interests are not with usr There Is a class of men who generally inhabit th cities who take it upon themselves to do the tninkiug for the farmers. What ex perience has this set of men had that should make them so intelligent? What ao tney know abeut the early days and the hardships we passed through? There has always been a class of follow ers up, the brainy fellows, and what do they do to benefit the country? Com paratively nothing. There is a class of people whom I look upon with pity and regret. They are the men who will al low their sentiments to be moulded bv wis ciass or men. I will say in conclusion, fellow farm ers, if you think you are doing your duty to yourself and your children in support ing a party mat is backed up by every trust ana combination ot camtal. then vote the republican ticket and if you are dissatisfied, vote the fusion ticket I consider that the noblest part of man is to be a man, and do his own thinking and his own voting.

At this season of the year it would be well for you to look at the advertisement of the Centerville Block Coal Co. This is a strong and reliable company that be lieves in giving its customers what they buy full weight and good quality. Mr. F. E. Stephens, the manager, is a srenial gentleman and thorough business man and depends upon fair dealing for his trade.

THE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY Denpotle Powcra huve Appeared at Wash tag-ton to Overthrow the Power of Delegated Government. mi 'a n , , . . xne lonowmg is pari or a speech re cently delivered at Chicago by E. B, Smith: , "It is now some eighteen months since Mr. McKinley, with professions of reluctance, deliberately ctmnged a sim ple naval position before Manila into a complex military situation on Asiatic soil. The army of occupation was not ent to protect the naval force under Admiral Dewey. - It was not sent to sup port a declaration that the Filipinos as well as the Cubans are and of riirht ought to be free and independent It was sent to defend a flair hoisted with out right on a foreign soil. It was sent to transform a war of liberation in the western hemisphere into a war of con quest in Asia in a word to commence a war of criminal aswression.' Men re- cruitod to fight for liberty in Cuba were sent to fight against liberty in the Phil ippines. Mr. McKinley thus transformed a war for humanity in Cuba into a war of inhumanity in the east "The vital defect in this no cv ins in its purpose to extend American sover ereignty by force over alien and fully occupied territory. , Here lies the Bharp distinction between our openly avowed policy in Cuba and Mr. McKinlev's lornr carefully veiled purpose in the Philip pines, it was tais mat made him break faith with invited and accepted allies. It was this that caused him airain and again to spurn and . reject the many overtures from the leaders of the Fili pinos. , It was this that led him to brand as 'rebels' a vast population that , never owed allegiance to the United States. It was for this that he declared and con tinues a cruel war which he may ston at any moment It was for this that he has vainly sought to bribe Aguinaldo to betray the cause of his people. It was for this that he has re-established rjolvtr- amy and slavery under the American flag. His purpose to make the Philip pines a permanent possession of the United States is the root of the difficul ty. That purpose realized, the charac ter of American institutions is destroyed; that purpose foiled, the war out is alike easy and honorable. "The acknowledged obligation of all loyal citizens to support the government in times of great national peril is urged to quell opposition to a merely volunteer policy, which is still without defenders on its merits. Thus a dancrerous prece dent is in process of establishment If an administration may ignore the issues upon which It was chosen, deliberately create a condition of war anywhere on the face of the irlobe. debauch the civil service to obtain spoils with which to promote the adventure, and demand of all citizens a suspension of judgment and unanimous support while it chooses to continue the fighting, we shall soon enjoy the blessings of chronic warfare. ', If this is allowed to go unrebuked. if it permitted to succeed, it will soon be come our daily bread. "Ihe founders of the American com-, monwealth claimed only representative authority. It was, 'We, the people of the United (States who ordained and established 'this constitution for the United Stales of America.' The result ing government was a self-achievement, a growth from within, not a benefaction from without, an expression not a souro of authority. The result was self-government, something far better even than ; good government Yet at this late day we see the army and navy of the United States employed to destroy self-government in the Philippines in a vain effort to bestow from without good govern ment upon their people. "The administration seeks to complete the destruction of self-government in the Philippines before the American people can pass judgment upon its course. It seems to be thought that with the death by American hands of the first attempt at self -government in in Asia all opposition here will cease. This is a huge mistake. Much as we abhor the 'war of criminal aggression' in the Philippines, greatly as we regret that the blood of the Filipinos is on American bands, we more deeply resent the betrayal of American institutions at home. The real firing line ia not in ' the suburbs of Manila. It is here. Tha enemy is of our own household. He comes to us prating of 'loyalty' and ut tering fine phrases about benevolent as similation, priceless principle and hoisted flags. : . , , ,.,'s ...:-, t - - "lhe self-assumed powers which Mr. McKinley claims in the Spanish islands cannot be exercised by a government which is to remain representative. Des potic power has apeeared at Washing ton to dispute the field with delegated authority. Thewe hostile forces are as old as history. They cannot exist to gether. We may still choose between ' them." ; . . , ' j Mao'a Two PrepoMls. To the Sultan of Sulu, McKinley pro posed the following treaty! which was accepted: ': 1. Recognition of his Sultanship. ; 2. Retention of slavery and nolvmmv- the twin relics of barbarism, as "recog nized institutions" in the Sulus. a. An allowance by the United State of $250 a month to the Sultan and 1510 month to nine of his chiefs for th maintenance of their satrapy, their ha rems and their slave-drivers. s I ; This may be thought by "disloyal" and "carping" critics to be a high price to pay for peace. But what did he offer Aguinaldo and his civilized Catholio fol lowers as our best terms of peaoe. 1. Unconditional surrender and un qualified recognition of "the sovereignty of the United States" 2. Military government. M 3. "Benevolent assimilation" a fine name for the Ohoizing of the Filipino. Why this vast difference in the two prices offered for peace in the Philip pines? And why should a barbaric sa trapy, cursed with slavery and polyga my, get so much bettor terms than our former allies at Manila, who Admiral Dewey says are bettor capable of govern ing themselves than are the Cubans?
