They Are Beaten.
Editor Independent: The Nebraska
plin of campaign has proven a decided
success. The allied forces met in state
convention at the same time'' and place,
selected a state ticket, compoaod of the
belt representatives of each, and then
went to work, energetically and elected
i by a surprising majority. In Nebras
ka the populist is the dominant ally. In
Olio the democrats met in state conven
tion and nominated a ticket made up
entirely of democrats, gave its allies the
plitform, and was defeated; though the
republican party is in the minority by
73JD00 votes. In Kentucky the porcine
proclivities of the democratic party also
asserted themselves even while rent
with internal distentions, and met ?
feat bs a narrow margin. ' The lesson
from these states is quite plain, and
should be well learned before the cam
palgn of next year opens. , The elements
opposed to the republican party are sat
iaSed with Bryan as a national leader,
but populists especially are reluctant to
follow the state leadership of the demo
eratic party who are for the most part
ttiB old office holders of the Cleveland
egime, and are willing to follow Bryan
ir a gold bug, if by so doing they can
jirid a seat at the pie counter. In this
tlte the cry is constantly reiterated that
p democrats can carry Indiana if they

There were errors made in the various
counties amounting, perhaps, to about
1,600 or one to the precinct. These er
rors affected each ticket about equally.
All told, perhaps, about 100 fusionists
would not, because , of personal griev
ances, vote for Holcomb. and the other
700 made errors which lost them their
vote on supreme jfudge. About the same
j. number of republicans made mistakes,
and about 7,000 votes is the price the re

School Fund
There must be something wrong with
popocratic adarnistrationof stateaffairs.
HVhen the school apportionment money
was increasing per capita, '- every pop
newspaper man in the state was stand
ing on his hind legs telling the people
how good nuinajrenient in state affairs
had done this. This year the apportion

That is where the Pilot is mistaken.
You will hear alxiut it and the truth
alnnit it, ood management by the
fusion otlicers did make the large in
crease in the state apportionments, and
continued good management has pre
vented the apportionment of Decern ler.
181K). from falling to the usual republi
can hich water mark.
In the lir-it place a republican com
missioner of public lands and building
wilfully neglected the management of
his otlice. Holders of sale contracts were
allowed to run along without paying
their interest, and many of those having
lease contracts had not paid a cent of
rentals in several years. When "Uncle
Jake" took charge he made an earnest
endeavor to have every cent of interest
and rentals due the state collected, and
this resulted in mnkintj the apportion
ments of 1897 and 1HU8 abnormally large.
It was good populist management that
caused the abnormal enlargement. Uu
dcr republican management the greater
portion of these delinquencies would
never have lrn collected; and it turned
out Hint flUO.OWnf delinquent rentals
were absolutely worthless and "Uncle
Juke" cancelled the contracts. Most of
the lessees wbo-e contracts were can
celled and who were released, were rc-
t
republicans. Then gold bug demo
te ills are making strenuous efforts to
trot tne state organization and con

Lditor Independent: It's about time
old England had to shell out some of
her illgotten gold which she has taken
from'Bome weak nations. Her statesmen
with their crockodile tears and her
bankers with their craftiness will fill
their coffers at the public's expense,
And cry: "Stand by the government!"
The statesmen with all their dissimila
tion, and statecraft are exposed, the veil
torn asunder and what do the people
see? The gold mines and diamond
mines and more land for the government
to rule over in Koutn Atnca. So much
for ; English . advanced civilization,
What has the common soldier to fight
torr He is only the tool of the capital
ist. Their cry is. "Bless you my brave
soldier boys." 1 am only a capitalist
ana we are tne powor behind the throne.
It you were nerved out with American
embalmed beof, the American volunteer
had the saino, Therefore you ought to
have no kick coming, and' if you don't
believe it as Mark Jlanna, he is all pow
erful behiadJMcKinley and what he says
goes.'
Ihese people who advocate war nl
ways manage to keep out of it and fill
their colfers out of the public crib. This
scratch back game of England and
America with a certain class of doubtful
Americans who posed as citizens are
showing their hand in this English gold
standard bill now in congress.
jo denoral JMiles wants a' greater

History repeats itself. Arnold was an

In the next place, the topics discussed
are to bo giveu a broader range, thus en
larging the scone of the nui'ta.uie as a
vehicle of u-ctu! and rritertainln? knowl
edge, and extending its appeal to a vider
circle of readers. In a word, the philos
ophy of t-ciince which has hei Hlof -re
been a prominent feature of the maga
zine is to give p!a !e to the facts and
principles that apply directly to the con
cerns of everyday life.
A third feature of the new departure
will be the employment of distinguish!
opeeialists as writers on their respective
subjects, who are able to present their
ideas in a form suited to the general
reader, and whose namete give what they
have to say the stamp of accuracy aai
authority.
