, fHE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT ; January h& 1900. !- v ' - . XV' ' i a special whack at the funds of the -government on. account of "what was 'T.done in the canvass last year?" Last . year was 1896, of course. 5 f Out in Nebraska the Bryan followers have charged that there was this sort of an alliance between the present admin istration and the National bank com - binebut the republicans who blindly i- follow their party leaders have scouted .at the idea. It remained . for the Allen tesolu tion to bring out of the the pri vate office of the secretary of the treasury " of the U. S. this bit of evidence confirm atory of the charges of the fusionists of " the country. The best evidence of the fact that vice president Hepburn of the Tew York bank knew, what he was talk ing about when he made this demand on "account of services rendered," was that V his.bajk wsia afterwards given what . he asked. In the language of a populist senator, the senate is not through with Mr. Gage yet," and little things like this J Hepburn and similar letters will help along. ( N -The present week will see the financial bill taken np in the senate and there publican whips are driving their forces to its support. The minority will try and see that it is discussed and its bad features laid1 before the country in all . their nakedness. Coming as this does on the heels of the recent attempt of Gage to establish a grand central bank, in which he holds stock, as the financial ruler of the country, this finance bill's similarity to the old United States bank plan will be of interest. . Recently , there have been several 1 prominent- Nebraska republicans is Washington. One of them was G. M. Lambertson of Lincoln; who gave out an interview in which he confidently pre-1 dieted the success . of . the .republican ticket in Nebraska this fall. The pipe dreams of Nebraska republicans when they get away from home have come to . be a never ceasing subject for merriment . among politicians. Judge Lambertson was equally as confident in hi3 public v declarations just before the last election ; in Nebraska. Ha is either laboring un jder the impression that it is his duty to try and keep up the courage of the wa vering, at the expense of conversational divergence from exact facts, or his judg ment of political conditions is bad. The recent crossing of swords by Mercer and Thurston over the appointment of census 'supervisor for the Omaha district looks to people here as if Mr. Lambcrtson's own party had some very virulent sores to heal up before they are in good - condi . tion to talk about carrying Nebraska. These interviews by.' over-confident re publicans are not expected to have effect in Nebraska, but they are given out here and at other points away from the state with the object of influencing the republican national committee to not ..bverlook the home of Mr. Bryan when it : comes to distributing the sinews of war ; for the next campaign. " In the house last week all of the Ne- -braska members delivered eulogies on the late WV L. Greene. Colonel t Stark was called away by the death of a rela - tive and on request of Judge Robinson hi3 remarks were allowed to be printed. It was memorial week in the senate also and Senator Allen delivered a speech in eulogy of the personal character of the late vice, president. With the majority in both branches so largely against them the democrats and populists are confined to making the record show what the republican major ity is pledged to do. . In this they are causing a great deal of worry at the other end of the avenue. The republi can declaration that they are not in fa vor of fostering trusts is made for the consumption of the workers and western people who are ground by , the trusts. The faith of those blind republicans who swallow anything which has the party brand on it was rudely shocked when j the republican majority in the senate the other day voted down an amendment offered by Senator Allen to the census bill, providing that information as to the formation of trusts and the business done by 'them be collected by the census bureau. The republican senate killed it . and killed it quick. They did not want any such information given to the peo ple. : . , D. H. BRADLEY.

Chess Devoted especially to disseminating a more thorough knowledge of this most instructive of all games among the read ers of the Independent.-Address, all communications intended for this de partment to Chess ; Editor " Indepen dent, 2646 Garfield street, Lincoln, Neb. A word regarding our plans: The In dependent goes to many thousand coun try homes in Nebraska and other states each week. In a great majority of these homes are young people yes, and older ones who hail with delight an oppor tunity to engage in some game to while away an occasional hour during the long winter evenings. The Indepen dent, having faith in the old adage that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," desires to provide for its readers an opportunity to learn and engage in a game that has no superior. A well known clergyman has this to say regarding chess: "Naturalness is one of tho tests of art. Chess is the most perfect minature of nature; and space, force, time and obstruction (matter) are the elements of nature; and space! force, time and obstruction are the elements of chess. Human life, which is so full of contest that it has been called a battle, is more perfectly represented in chess than in any other thing. The principles . of good chess playing are the principles of good living: A wise conservativeness, energy ,self -reliance, economy of time and strength, application, concentration, tenacity, hopefulness, quickness of perception, in vention, decision, courage, caution and above all, balancethese are the ele ments of success in both chess and life. A man with the abilities that make a fine chess player has in him the possi bilities of a successful man in almost anything to which he will devote him self. "It follows that the educational value of chess must be very great. I have found it incalculable in my own exper ience. It has taught me the limitations of my own powers; it has taught me to respect but not to reverse the established opinion; it has taught me to "look be fore I leap;" it has taught me that "my competitor is only a man;" it has strengthened my memory, and disci plined my reasoning powers, cultivated my imagination. If it is possible to make a man modest, the hard bumps of chess will do it. If it is possible o teach him to think, the practice of chess, when he must think for himself, will do it. If it is possible to get him to bal ance facts, to get things in their right proportion, their right perspective, the practice of chess, in which ne must be continually balancing and comparing absolute and relative values in force and time, will doit. 'For its mental and moral discipline, chess is probably more useful than any other single study, such and no rcmody hum even been known to euro it until "S Drops,9' tho FShaumado Ouro tZomonstrstod its wonderful curativo power it has never failed to ouro RHEUMATISM in any form, Aoute or Ohroniom CTarn I what . rrnmln.nf V1,vt.l.n .1.,. ... 00 treatment and prescribed fof these ui without desirable results.

Tho fascination is in tense: Especially ia large cities where there are chess clubs and always oppor tunities for playing, the temptation to make a dissipation of chess, instead of a discipline, is very great. Chess is likely to become a mental vice, an appe tite of the imagination, which craves its excitement as a drunkard, does his cup. Every one learning chess should resolve to keep the game in its right place, re sorting to it only for rest or mental training. Thus used, it will prove a benefit to anyone." HOW TO LEAKN CHESS. "There are many books which teach the elements of the game for absolute beginners. , One can jearn from any of these books. It is much, better to have a chess player explain the moves of the pieces over the board. Each learner should, however, get a book, and learn to play over a game from the printed score. After the moves and the nota tion by which, they are recorded are learned skill will come rapidly. ; Let tho student take a chess periodical or a chess column, and play over the games. Let him practice across- the board as much as he has opportunity. He should have a board arid men of his own, and should make it a rule to study a little each day, ' ra ther than study much one day and none the next." ; do y6u Vish.to lkabn? , In order that the Independent may have some definite knawledge as to how many of its readers really desire to learn this noble game, and how many, who having learned the moves, would join in making thisco lumn a succses, the chess editor requests each interested reader to write him a postal card or letter ,, an swering the following questions: "1." Name and address and distance from postoffice. 2. Are you a subscriber to the IndepeHdent? 3. Do you know the moves in chess? 4 Do you know tho notation describing chess moves? 5. Have you a board and men? G. Havo you any book on chess? 7. Will you take an interest in.this chess column if it is properly conducted? Address, Chess Editor Independent,. 2646 Gar field street, Lincoln, Nebraska. , HON. W. L. GREENE The Eulogy Pronounced In Congress by Congressman Sutherland Tan ' nary 10th, 1900. Mr. Speaker, it is with a deep sense of sorrow and cf loss that we meet here today to talk of the life and services of our friend and colleague, William L. Greene. He was a man splendidly en dowed and superbly equipped by the creator for the struggle of life. A strong man physically and mentally, he was ready to meet any emergency and enter any conflict, For more than twenty-five years he was in public view, either hold ing positions of trust and honor; or on the platform battling for principles and truths as he understood them. Abso lutely fearless in standing for what he believed to be right, he possessed none of those hesitations and doubts that less ably equipped mortals have m enunciating and defendingwell matured convictions on public questions. For years prior to his election to con gress he was a leading character in the political history of our state. During tho early alliance days and in the or ganization of the reform movement he was a power. Gifted with all the attri butes of the orator, and with a singular power over the minds of men, his ser vices were in great demand, Ia the sen atorial contest of 1393 he was a leading candidate for that high office, and lor many ballots by the legislature he came within two votes of the election, but, voluntarily withdrawing, he threw his votes in favor of the one of his choice, who was elected. In 1895 he was elected J udge of the Twelfth judicial district of ISebraska, holding that important office until his election to congress. The lawyers and litigants of the district were unanimous in his praise as one of the best and fairest judges that ever presided over the court of that district. He dearly loved a debate on the questions of the day, and to him it was happiness in the extreme when some one crossed swords with him. His devotion to his family and the manner in which his children at home crowded around him and took possession of him but indicated the tenderness of the parent and the recip rocal love of the child. In his platform work his style was fe licitous. How often have I heard him tell a story that clearly illustrated a point, with a humor that was irresisti ble, and then almost instantly the whole question would bo reviewed with a pa thos that would touch the roughest heart. But death is an inexorable, ty rant. Hecontes at his own appointed time, whether we are ready to greet him or not. He says to the mother that her little babe must go, and although the mother's heart breaks with sorrow, the flewer that is the joy of her life is transplanted to bloom in fairer fields. He casts his dart at the strong young manjust ready for life and its opportu nities, and although his plans and those of his friends comprehend magnificent conquests, yet in bight of them all he falls. He .came to my . friend and col league, strong in his power and man hood, in the midst of his work that a great people had commissioned him .to perform, and with a sigh he joined the ever-increasing multitude that are pass ing over to the other side. The old man whose hair is whiter than snow , and whose heart ha3 sung, nothing but psalms his whole life long gladly meeta the king of terrors and lies down to sweet slumber. It is one deep mystery and unsolved problem to. us . all. The veil that separates us from 'the knowl edge of the unseen is thin, but it cannot bo penetrated. The longing for immor tality has possessed every heart from Plato's age to our own. In good time it will be made clear to each of us. My hope is that when we come to lay down our burdens and to render unto nature the things which are due her, that we leave behind us as many loving hearts and true ' friends as did William L. Greene, A ' I : Asiatic Horrors The horrors' that McKinley has an nexed in Asia are "beyond description. The bubonic plague is making terrible havoc in the Sandwich Islands and has invaded Manila. How long before it will reach San Francisco through some of our troop ships that are constantly going to and fro, no one can tell. But we have annexed a worse thing than the bubonic plague. That will run its course and disappear. ; The leprosy of the Philippine Islands is chronic and perma nent. That is one of , the things that McKinley has taken in. Mrs. Schwicht enbergthe agent of the White Cross, describes what she saw in the following words: ' '.--- ., "The most distressing sight of all was that of the lepers at Cebu. The situa tion there i3 frightful. Not only in the city, but in the country these lepers swarm about one's carriage. ; They are allowed to go everywhere, and in . this way their numbers are enormously in creasing." Mrs. r Schwichtenberg esti: .mates that out of a population of 36,000 ! . a i rtr i tzmi at leasi o,uuu are lepers. "J ney are in ah stages of the disease,, from those whose fingers have fallen off to those whose condition is too revolting to de scribe. . They beg constantly for money, and when one flings them a penny they cross themselves and express thanks in a most heartfelt manner." Mrs. Schwicht enberg feels that in Cebu is a great field for missionaries. She says "the church is talcing no measures to stop the spread of this horrible disease. I fear that, with American troops there, it may be brought to our country." K i- y A WAR-TIME SCRAP. In Which a Teamster Showed III Colonel Something About ' ! , , the Manly Art. ' "The' Tennessee regiments that were in the union ; service," said the major, "had more iJght to the square inch in them than any other regiments in the army of the Cumberland. Many of the Kentucky regiments in the union service were built up on the same plan. This was particularly the case with the cavalry. The officers and men had a devil-may-care way about them that seemed " indifferent. But when they went into a, fight they meant business. Col. Robert M. Kelly, of one of the Ken tucky cavalry regiments, was a charac ter. On one occasion he had spent the night, or a good part of it, playing poker in the tent of Col. James S. Jack son, who also commanded a Kentucky cavalry regiment. "Kelly left his pipe, a favorite one, in Jackson's tent, and he was very much concerned about it. "The next day, as Jackson was galloping along at the head of his regiment under orders to attack a given point, Kelly rode after him in a state of great excitement, and Jackson, supposing that he carried most important orders,- .halted the HE THREW THE COLONEL, DOWN. whole command. Kelly' rode up aud said to the expectant colonel: "Did you find my pipe?" Jackson burst into a roar of jrof anlty, ordered the reg iment forward, and to ride over Kelly if he did not get out of the way, say ing to the colonel that he might go to a very warm place and smoke his blamed old pipe to. his heart's content. "When the regiment waa near Bowl ing Green in 'the early part of 1862, Jackson was very much annoyed be cause his regimental train was stuck in the mud. He" took his revenge by abusing a teamster, who seemed to be in part responsible for the trouble. The teamster took this abuse quietly for a time, but finally turned on Jack son with the remark that the colonel was safe simply because he wore shoul der straps, ne declared further that no man, shoulder straps or no shoulder straps, could insult him as Jackson had done, and that" the time might come when Jackson was not protected by shoulder straps, and then he would lick him as sure as he was alive. ' "Jackson sprang from his horse, threw oil his coat and shoulder straps, and turned on the' teamster, saying: 4'Now 'I have no shoulder straps, what are you going to do about it ?' The teamster threw off his blouse, and, after a pass or two at the colonel, clinched, threw him down, and pummeled him until .the colonel said 'enoughl' The old-fashioned rough and tumble fight was witnessed by a good many officers and teamsters, who wondered what would happen when the colonel got up. Knowing how violent he was when in a passion, they expected to see him shoot the teamster. Instead of that he put on his coat, mounted his horse and rode away without saying a ;word.
