December 7, 1899. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. I CUPPINGS THE COMING AGE. The December Coining Age ia a capi tal Bumber. The issue closes the first year of thin magazine, which sprang into instant public favor and which has steadily in proved .since its initial duiii ber. The present issue is very rich in timely and thoughtful papers and is handsomely illustrated. Among the leading subjects treated are "Puritan inni Play Houses of Boston," by the Rev. J. Henry Wiggin: "American Art, by J J. Enneking; "The Life and work of P Edwin Eiwell, Scu'ptor," illustrated, by li. O. Flower; "The Social Situation m Canada," by Rev. Charles Aubrey Ea ton; "Utopia," by Prof. A. E. Dolbear, of Tufts College; "The Republic of Man," by Prof. Nathaniel Schmidt, of Cornell University; "Is Our Universe Primarily Spiritual?" by J), E. M. Uabbitt.LL. D.; 'The Poems of Emerson," by Mr. Charles M alloy; several excellent Christmas poems and an original and striking story by Mrs. C. K. Roifsnider. The pub lishers announcements for 1900 are ex ceedingly attractive. HAND DOWN ANOTHER The position of the imperialists that the United States should first subjugate the Filipinos and then deil with the great moral question of whether the United States should engage in such a business or not is aptly illustrated by the story of a pair of darkies robbing a henroost, The one who was indus triously handing down the pullets, being attacked by a qualm of cons?iencp, asked: "Deacon Tompkins, am it right to take dese chickens?" To which the deacon replied: "Dat am a great moral question, Deacon Johnsing, which de time and de 'casion am ISot 'propriate to discuss. Han' down arjodor of dem pul- levj, Rt, raw rress, ulist control all but 17,000 of this indebt- J edness has been paid off and this is not . due ur til 1901." Another year of popu list control and Kearney county will aul owe a cent. This is the history of nearly every count? in the state. Who is not proud of populist rule in Nebraska? Minden Courier. NERVJTA PILLS Ectuure Vitality, tali Vijor and tf nchood MR. JONES, THE JOURNALIST. Somewhere along the line I hope that the new board of regents will devote a little attention to the school of journal ism tit our state university. Prof. Jones, who ia head push of that college (I don't know whether ha is a dean, or whathis title is) ought to have an assistant who knows Komoihing about newspaper work. Journalism is all right for a man like John Jacob Astor or Jones, men who can hold their jobs by virtue of either money or political pull, but the average young hustler who has to earn a living must be taught newsraper making if his course at the university is going to do him any good must. learn how to uso his head. Jones, as n journalist, cannot be expected to teach that, even if he does manage to have students fill up the news columns of his paper each day at au expense of nothing to the business manager and several dollars to the state. I don't want him removed, because there is nothing like him in the world; but he ought to have a practical newspaper man for assistant. u, E. 11. in World Horald oeen leuwg us inai me good crops we have been enjoying and the Iwttled prosperity on exhibition in the window of tne truts would kill off the vote of Cure Impoteney, Nito Emissions, Lobs of Mem. the free silver element in this campaign iiournsKs never naa sucn aounaan orv. all wasHHir diseawn. all effects of self-abuse or excess aud iiuliscretion.

At that time there were $72,000 of bonded indebtedness. The republicans bad had control ever since the county was organized in 1872. In twenty years the republicans saddled a debt of 872,000 on the county, and all the county has to show for it is half of the Lowell bridge and a court house worth $2,000.

A PECULIAR FACT. In looking back over the election re turns of this county for the last four years, we have discovered a curious fact.

A SELDY SENTIMENT That Telegram of Condolence Sent to Mrs. John A. Logan by the Emperor of the Philippines, 1 A great many peoplo are wondering what was the motive of General Ot s and the administration in censoring the dispatches announcing the death of Ma jor John A. Logan. Was there any "mil itary necessity" for keeping the facts from the public? It is true that the moral sense of the nation has been shocked by ' the death of this brave young officer of distinguished lineage, but the shock would have been no great er if all the circumstances of the deplor able tragedy had been published. Nor does President McKinley add anything to his seedy reputation by .attempting lo soothe the breaking hearts of the young officer's bereaved wife and mother by ut tenng the smooth falsehood that he "died for his counlry on the field of hon or. J. lie people understand the merits of this abominable war. and thev know that instead of being for our country it i in direct opposition to the most cher- i-ihed principles of a free republic a government ot tne people, by the peo ple, for the people. Major Logan died not for his country, but in the discharge of what he conceived to bo his military duty, and in pursuit of the false aud im aginary gl ry of military renown. And tbese are the dangerous elements of mil itarism. They induce evf n tho best and most gallant of our young men to forget. liberty, patriotism, country, and to die on the battlefield for what they vainly conceive to be glory. There is no glory in battle, except for country and liberty. ee wnat it is in young logan a case His body decays in a foreign soil, his wife and children linger a few days in poverty and sorrow, and the generation now born will not even remember that John A. Logan ever lived, except that he was the son of a distinguished father who fought for freedom. Oh, the abom mation and the intolerable wickedness of this accursed war! Who can tell when its baleful influence will cease to affect the life of our nation? It is ac curs-d, doubly, thrice accursed the greate-t crime that our country ever committed, and its shameful stain can never be washed from the pages of our nistory. optHfliiiDanrrrD niyvnuiviyrrLr Ths GREATEST- ...

Now for the proof: Nehemian, fifth chapter and third verse. "Bonie also there were who said, 'we have mortgaged our lands, vinyards, and houses, that we might buy corn because of the dearth.' There were also some that said, 'we have borrowed for the King's tribute, and that upon our lands and vinyards.' Ibis was 2144 years ago, it was 445 before Christ We hear very little said till after the re bellion when the money, Bharks through the republican party, had the people's money destroyed and the national banks established, and gave control of nearly all of the money. Just before the presiden tial election the money power would flood tho country with money to be loaned on mortgages, and then before the next presidential election the money power would lock ud their money so the people could not pay their mortgages. Then the money sharks would foreclose the mortgages and take the people's farms. This has been the order of the day for the last twenty years and the peopie are mere slaves. JSo as Sow we hear a republican sav, "I vote I shot during the robellion. This is a mistake for he shot to free the black man, and now he votes to enslave the wnite man. This kind of talk has been ffivnn me many times: "They ought to stop your pension pecause you don t vote the re- puoucan ticKet." My reply each time is, "Why don t you stop it instead of talking so much about it, you can't buy my principles for $30 a month. That is understood first, last, and all the time for I vote as I shot. I shot to free the DiacK man, and I vote to free the white man Which the monev nownr. thrnucrh its agent the republican party, is trvin uj ensiave. and all mankind but a favore.l class.
