The Independent asks its readers to
give a careful 'reading to the following
communication. With a plutocratic
court standing with an injunction bludg
eon over the.heads of the board of transr
portation, little or nothing can ' be "ac
complished to stop y the - extortions . of
these ! stok-watered is corporations.; The
Independent ?does not believe that any
teal relief will ever be obtained while the
imperialistic. republican party remains in
control of the government. The first
tep toward justice to the people in rail
road rates is the election of W: J. Bryan
to the presidency,,' L , :
Editor Independent! Is the creature
greater than the creator? . '
This is the railroad question now con
fronting the people of Nebraska. While
there is being much said about imperial
ism cursing' the people of Puerto Rico
and the Philippines, the imperialism
that is crushing the American people is
almost entirely ignored hardly thought
of. Yet for the past forty years, imperi
alism has been invidiously creeping into
our fabric, until today there is not one
single national question, whether indus
trial, political or economic, that this
monster, thistnemy to republican insti
tutions, has not invaded.
If Webster is authority, and he is con
sidered one, we have today an imperial
" president, an imperial cabinet, an impe
rial congress, an , imperial court, impe
rial banks, and imperial corporations
without number. Each rules in its
sphere, and combined they rule the na
tion. .
Despite the best efforts - of our ptate
Qcaals, the imperial railroads of the
8tate are def jipg the authorities. Long

before in mv years of oractice of medicine riven m- trivial nr
taenddtioa to any patent xnediciae, bu there is a remedy, the result of which has come under my
own observation; for there is no Disease which has so baffled the medical skill of all ages as
HheutnatUm and to find a Keliable remedy for the same. At last we have found it in;
5 DROPS," manufactured by the Swansoa Kheumatio Cure Company, Chicago, II L. ,
The "3 DROPS," has proven Itself wonderful for Its curative power In Rheumatism, not
as a Temporary Believer only, but to give a Permanent Cure even in chronic cases. Sometime
ago, I had among others several Rheumatic cases, under my treatment and prescribed for these
patients the very best Kennedies which I skillfully selected, but without desirable results. I then
heard of S UROPS". and of its Wonderful Cures, and prescribed it to a f ew paUents who
found relief from its use within a few days. After that J jrescrbed it to a great number and to mv
surprise, I will say that in the course of Two or Three Weeks after they had used "5 DROPS'
nd MS Drop" Plasters they were Cured. - ' t-
! Amopir these were a few who had. for a number of years, been suffering: with Chronio
Kneumattun, who had piloted themselves around on Crutches. They came to my office with,
out Cratches and told me they were perfectly "Well. They eive all the credit to 5 DROPS "
and to "5 Drop" Plasters and this is their testimony to the Swan son Rheumatic Cure Com-:
?ny for their kindness and for the conscientious way in which they are placing these Wonder
ul. Remedies among suffering humanity, which they told me to write to the Company as an
acknowledgement. . , .
As I have seen the Curative Power of M3 DROPS and S Drop" Plasters, in a ereat
inany instances, I can Truly recommend them and also that the 6rm is perfectly honest and re
liable to deal with. C. A. JACKSON, Physician and Surgeon, Kearney, Neb., Aug. 39, 1899. v

ye?rs of Wall Street republican rule has
emboldened them, and entrenched them,
to such an extent, that they believe
themselves complete masters of the peo
ple. Republican courts have given them
everything asked for, which gives them
every point of vantage. I can think of
but one such point not passed upon by
the courts, and in their favor, and this
one indirectly; This one - is the com
manding kepje of , the whole field. Who
ever holds, it, will route $hther. This
strategic point is, "Who is the bigger,
the creature or the creator the people
or the railroads?"'', We have played
horse with these corporations so long
that the courts have attempted to give
them this, the last stronghold. '
It will be remembered that the United
States supreme court has said that we
cannot redjoe rates below, a point that
will pay dividends upon, capitalization
and that the computation must be made
on traffic originating and ending within
the state. First, that' court says that,
the. people are taxable by the railroads
for all. the water which such corpora
tions can inject into their stock.
Secondly; indirectly that such corpor
ations are bigger than the state. These
two points are open to attack and , until
they are bo attacked ' and settled, 'there
is little else that can be done. If we are
beaten, we can retreat to our last ditch
public ownership. Defeat in these
forme will' make public ownership im
pregnable, make it a sure winner.
Railroad extortion rests upon, and
Solely depends upon fictictious capitaliza
tion YThenever the water is wrung out
of corporations;! extortions can be
stopped, and' not until then. It should
be our first concern to make a cullen
der and filter the water out of Ne
braska roads.' V t ,
, -We have. established a right and just
precedent of examining into the work
ings of, and status of state authorized
institutions. There can be no logical
reason given why railroad corporations
should be exempt from such public
scrutinizing public investigation . of
their doings toward the public.
. If railroads are receiving no more
than just and fair , returns, they should
not object to the people knowing that
fact. If the people are paying exhorbi
tant rates, as charged, they ought to
have some way to find out and. know
that fact. ; Iso one who wants to be
just, and is willing to obey the law, can
object to fair means being used to de
termine these facts. We have a state
board of transportation now of. about as
much ability as a fifth wheel to a wagon
and so intended by the authors of the
law. The courts knowing that it was
harmless under its present authority,
have declared it constitutional. This
board can be madaj lajigttt'ffiiseful by
giving it authority and -making it its
uty to investigate every, transaction of
these corporations, and every fellow,
from the section man to the stock wa
tering friend. This would throw an x

Three Campaigns In Nebraska
The camDaierns of 1897. 1898 and 1899,

shows that 51 counties have given a
fusion majority each of the three years.
That 16 counties gave a republican ma
jority on the years named. And that
23 counties during that time were waver
ing in their political allegiance. In the
lists following, "F F F" means that each
county was counted in the fusion col
umn in the t years 1897, 1898 and 1899;
"F R F" means fusion in 1897, republi

; Who Pays the Bill :
Because a man (or woman) chooses to
run a mid-road populist paper, is, of its
self, no indication that such man or
woman is in the employ of Mark Hanna.
But circumstantial eyidence is admissa
blo. ' - ' V .v ;. -
The Kellies ' at Hartwell conduct a
little sheet called the Prairie Home. It
is a rabid anti-fusion paper. Its editors
would rather have McKinley elected
than see Bryan occupy the presidential
chair. It is their privilege to have such
preference. The' paper .belongs to the
Kellies and is just such a paper in ap
pearance as one would expect of a mid
road sheet with' its necessarily Jimited
circulation. . The : Kellies are not finan
cially able to scatter the Prairie Home
broadcast over Nebraska and but few
populists are foolish enough to pay for a
subscription .to.it.' There is every indi
cation that the Kellies are sincere in
their anti-fusion tight" But they re
ceive scanty support,' because Nebraska
populists are looking for results, and not
quarreling over mere names. Outside of
Douglas county if any exception be
made, the average democrat is just as
radical on government ownership and
the money question as is the average
populist. ,
There is, however, a mid-road paper,
"The True Populist," ' published -at
Omaha that deserves some attention. It
is printed on good book paper and typo
graphically the "pink of perfection."
It is a six-column quarto, with about
25 columns of "home" matter and 23 of
plate matter and ads. ..... Two columns of
ads belong to the newspaper union that
prints the paper. Outside of ads signed
by the paper, but three bring any reve
nue to the' publisher; One of the U. P.
Ryi Co., one of the Bi fc M; RyV Co. and
one of Munn & Co. of New York.
The first-mentioned two bring the
publisher railroad - mileage . which no
doubt eases his conscience foa the many
miles he has ridden on free passes over
the roads named. 5The Munn ad brings
in no filthy lucre. ' ;
The True (?) Populist has recently
written to each county asking for a list
of 100 to 200 names of populist voters,
and where lists are furnished the paper
is sent absolutely without cost to the
readers. The paper cannot be printed
for less than about CO cents per copy
per year. Its revenue from advertise
ments is nil. Its publisher is " a poor
man, which is no disgrace per se. Yet
he offers a $9.00 bed for $9.00 and will
send the paper free three months to 90
different persons.
It may be that Mark Hanna (by his
Nebraska henchman, Edward Rosewater)
is not footing all bills . and paying D.
Clem Deaver a salary to boot for pre
tending to publish the True Populist;
but in view of the circumstantial evi
dence, what can a reasonable and reason
ing man conclude? -

sheriff's sales,-. contest and probate
notices. The wave of McKinley pros
perity seems to have finally 'reached
Sioux county. In a few ; months more,
look out for the cry in republican papers,
"The Farmers of Sioux county are pay
ing off their mortgages." '.
The Fairfield Messenger, a consolida
tion of the True Light and ,. Tribune,
under the management of Coleman &
Corey, last week adopted the all home
print idea. The paper presests a neat
appearance, but uses some American
Press plates for its seventh and eighth '
pages, thus in reality being unnble to en
tirely cut loose from the news trust.
Both the ready print houses and the
plate houses are real conveniences to
country publishers but, as the Messen
ger truly says: "The ready print houses
use a low grade of paper and fill the col
umns with a low . class of medicine ad
vertisements in fact, anything they
can find to fill space." .
One of the worst features of the
ready print and plate houses is that the
publisher of a reform paper must care
fully scrutinize every line he gets: from
them, or be humiliated by finding some
thing in his ready prints or plates that
is not in harmony with his home side.
If a majority of thev delegates i. to the
three fusion conventions saysthey want
Edgar Howard to: : make the. i race for
auditor, there ; are mighty few, fusionista
who would fail' ftQvt support ,hinu - But
there are some who. could "not giye him
very hearty support and they are Audi
tor Cornell and his friends. Both How
ard and4 the World-Herald took "snap"
judgment and convicted the auditor of
all sorts of high crimes! and misdemea
nors in office before , a scintilla of evi
dence had been introduced; both
wanted to lead in the work of . ousting
what they candidly supposed to be a
dishonest fusion official; '' he rice j their
haste in the matter.' 'After the evidence
was all in, and when even a most blindly
partisan republican investigating; com
mittee failed to show any dishonesty on
the part of Cornell, neither Howard nor
the World-Herald had the manhood to
say they had been too .hasty and were
mistaken they simply said no more
about the matter. Of course both hate
Auditor Cornell, because' one always
hates the man he has wronged.'
But Auditor Cornell can give his
heartiest support to the entire fusion
ticket this fall Edgar Howards will not
get the nomination for auditor, .

With absolute equality over railways

such high priced men. And these man
agers will soon be engaged in building

soon be engaged in . a better business
than that, of advising their principals
just how far they can go without getting
