IRISH FRIEZE
"Ah far back as the history of Ireland can be traced in writing
mention is made of a coarse woolen cloth woven by the people of the coun
try, and known to them as frieze.
"The name is said to be drawn from the ancient Frisa in Nether
lands, whence, possibly, the art of making the fabric derived.
"Century after century it has been the cloth of Ireland, the distinc
tive dress of patriot, peasant or peer, and since the 17th century nn out
ward bndge of the peoples aspirations for nationality.
"While the men tended the herds of sheep and prepared the wool,
the colleens kept the spinning wheels humming and their looms clacking
with the materials for the great staple.
"Frieze covered Sarstield's soldiers in 1G90; it made overcoats for the
volunteers in 1782; it was worn with pride bv the chiefs of the olden clans;
by Henry Gratton, Daniel O'Connell, and by Michal Davitt and other
leaders of the Irish people.
"It is honest goods, there is no shoddy in it. The fleece is fine, the
color is fast,-the design is neat, the finish is artistic, and the wear is ever
lasting." .

According to Otis' latest dispatches he
has captured the wardrobe of Mrs,
Aguinaldo and the Filipinos are still
collecting taxes in the city of Manila.
Otis says that he actually caught a lieu
tenant-colonel of Aguinaldo's staff in the
act of taking in the money. Therefore,
we are to conclude, according to the as
tute republican editors, that the "rebel
lion" is "about" to be crushed.
The voting machines that were used
in several cities of the east gave the
most perfect satisfaction. They should
be adopted everywhere and especially
m Nebraska. Voting machines in
Omaha would have prevented the dirty
toick played by the' republican county
clerk and ousted a set s of judges that
have been a disgrace to the state for ten
years.

Melting pot Morton is still inquiring
where the money came from to pay the
expenses of the campaign. He says
that "the plain people" wonder where it
came from. How does he know that
the "plain people wonder? He never
had atfy association . with them. The
plain people know very well whew the
money came from for they are the ones
who furnished it. They put up their
dollars month by month, and they are
awfully glad that they did it. They are
going to do the same thing nest time,
They have made a new departure and
they are going to keep it up.
Census. If ho did not, something ser
ious might happen. The Independent
will write a letter to the Director of
Census and ask the authorities nt Wash
ington to send Mr. Miller a spelling
book. If he is to bo the judge of the
number of people living in this district
he ought to know how to fpell "judg
ment." If the department can't afford
to send him an old spelling book, he
might go out and ask some old farmer
how to spell it.
The Independent has been very mod
erate in its estimate of the vote in Ohio.
Now that the official figure. have been
published it appears that Mark and Me
Kinley are 73,761 in the minroity, in
stead of 50,000 as the Independent has
claimed all along. From a majority of
62,000 into a minority of 73,000 is noth
ing less thau a revolution in the politics
of the state. Hurrah for Mark Hanna!

his present position as a leader of the
republican party. Any pop who says
any thing against it ought to have his

It is so with wealth. In this country
the law does not make it stick in the
sume family. We have no laws of prinio
genitive. The father may sleep in a
nitiuonairs grave and nis children n
pauper graver. There is ten times more
of the smack of greatness in the man
who makea money by his own ability
and puts it to a good use than in him
who heirs it Fortunes and crowns
thrust upon us by birth are no signs of
greatness or financial ability. There
seems to be a plausable excuse for peo
ple tne worm over to respect the rich
man. .
The clown, the jester and the funny
man were once rated as men of wit, but
today the writer, the poet, the philoso
pher and orator are classed as men of
wit or intellect And yet all cannot be
writers, poets, philosophers or orators.
The great majority of the human family
are snut out trom being great, either by
birtn, riches or wit.
Hut there is a hitrher realm of noasi-
.bilities which is open to all, the great
ness of being intelligent. A person may
have knowledge of a few things and be a
big dunce in everything else; such per
sons are not intelligent. Intelligence
may be defined as diversified knowledge.
To know a few things well is croditable,
but to have a genornl knowledge as wide
as humanity is far better.
A thirst for knowledge is as natural as
thirst for water. That thirst can be cul
tivated and strengthened as easily as a
flower garden. We ourselves are the
gardnera. Rending is the Amazon of in
telligence: and yet there, are other ave
nues of intelligence, those of conversa
tion and travel. Paupers and tramps
mnuy times possess knowledge that can
not lie found in books. The mechanic
and day laborer knows things worth
knowing. There is not a human being
whoso intellect and memory are roused
who does not possess sparkling jewels.
All stand ready to yield up their treas
ure when asked. Intelligence does not
bedfellow with frivolity or laziness.
We are passing through a reading age.
Intelligence is to bo crowned kiwr. A
single individual may wield a torch thht
may set a whoio community ahre.

MAN'S ELEGANT DRESS SUIT, choice of round
HARDY'S COLUMN
There is a great deal of talk in the re
publican newspapers about how the re
turned volunteers voted in the late elec
tion. The position that the republicans
take when they claim that they were all
for the war against the Filipinos puts
these men in the most dishonorable posi
tion that a brave man could occupy. If
these men were all enthusia-itically for
the war, and thought it was a just and
holy war, then they were the most con
summate sneaks that ever shouldered a
gun, in refusing to stay a ad fight it out.
There is no escaping this conclusion.
The Independent prefers to believe that
they were true and brave men, that they
saw no justice in the war and therefore
refused to re enlist That is the only
honorable position to take in regard to
the matter.

The number of men going through
bankruptcy is a grand indication of the
gold standard prosperity. They pny
about ten gold pennies on "every thousand
silver dollars debt. The court expense is
mree or tour nundred times more than
the creditors get. When there are any
assets tne court takes time enough to
use them nearly all up. When the as
sets are all gone then the case is wound
up m a hurry.
It is rather wide to compare state, city
or school etpenses.in Nebraska with the
same expenses in the east. The govern
or or iew l one gets m,,uuu a year and
members of the legislature eet 85.000

peculiar incident that occurred the
other evening. During the night he
hsard his dogs making considerable
racket but paid little attention to it.
The next morning he noticed two foot
prints directly underneath his window.
He got out his bloodhounds, put them
on the scent and followed them. They
went toward the insano asylum, and
when nearly there he overtook three
men. Two of the men were leading
the third, an escaped patient who had
Deen captured mat morning and was
being returned to the asylum. The
dogs ran up to the patient and were
very anxious to get at him. This .was
regarded as proof that the patient had
paid Mr. Emmons a visit during the
night.
