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?

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

POPULIST FINANCIERING.
The populists took control of county
affairs, January 1892. 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. In the seven years of pop-

We read a great deal in the republican
press about the return of Kansas to the
republican fold. The facts are that no

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.

Votes As He Shot
Editor Independent: There never was
a time when the mortgage did not bring
the people into servitude or slavery to
the money power. 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

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.
