"Nothing short of perfection," says a mail order customer of
ours who, after years of suffering from cramped up feet, found
relief in our manish last Women's $2.50 Shoe. We do not
. claim that it's thel only easy-on-feet shoe; we do not claim
that it's the only shoe made on the manish last; we do not
claim that this customer, of ours couldn't have found relief in
any other shoe; but we do claim that this customer did, and
we know and can teir you of hundreds of others wh'o have
been mpre than pleased with this special shoe. We do claim
that it is the best $2.50 woman's shoe in America for $2.50.
You can have your choice of soles, light, or heavy; you can
have your choice of sizes; you can have your money back if
you're not satisfied hvith them after you get them home; you
can have. them fitted to. your; feet by expert fitters; you can
have as many pairs as you want but they'll I cost you- $2.50
per pair- no more no less. If you'll wear more Nebraska
shoes this year, you'll have less trouble with your feet.

and tobacco trusts to the republican
campaign fund. We will pass a bill
giving you 82,000,000 in charity. But
the trusts must not be interfered with.
We must have their aid or we cannot
re-elect William McKinley."
After making that heartless proposi
tion they got frightened on account of
the flood of protests that came pouring
into Washington. So there is a .hold up
until the leaders can figure out some
way to fool the people and keep the
trusts satisfied. They will do it. It is
the easiest thing in the world to fool
the unthinking followers of the repub
lican party. , . , .
SPANISH CRUELTY RENEWED
Xhe Porto Ricans Who Spread Flowers in
the Path of Our Soldiers Find That
They Came as Oppressors.
We regret to see that there are high
protectionists, so blind to the teachings
of experience that they would have the
United States repeat the fatal blunder
of Spain in Porto Rico and in the Philip
pines. They are talking about the ruin
that will be wrought on American to
bacco growers and beet-sugar growers if
the free trade bill framed by the house
committee on insular affairs, extending
1 he tariff and revenue laws to Porto
Itico shall be passed.. If that bill or
r gome thing like it is not passed, the peo
pie of the United States will be guilty
of one of the gravest economic and po
litical crimes of the century. We have
taken Porto Rico from Spain, and by
that act deprived her of the benefit of
the trade relations which , she' enjoyed
" with that country, and .we have not
opened our markets to her nor her mar
kets to our food . stuffs. Today there is
a wall around her; she is isolated; and
her last state is worse than her first. It
is too late now to consider whether a
group of producers in the United States
will benefit or suffer by free trade with
Porto Rico. 4 .
If that question were not considered
and decided before Porto Rico was
i taken, it must be regarded as decided
now and ' decided in favor of the Porto
Rfans. No man with a comprehension
of the problem involved can for a
moment advocate anything else than the
freest trade relations bdtween the
United States and their territory in the
West Indies. The establishment of such
relations was a moral obligation that we
assumed the moment that we took the
. territory from Spain. And if we do not
establish these relations, we' have an
nexed a rabbit warren of insurrections
justified and excused by . the same un
just exploitation of territory for the
benefit of the home country that excused
and justified the rebellion against Span
ish extortion in Cuba. A fatal mistake
will be made if we allow the bigger
problem of statesmanship to be obscured
by petty questions of Federal revenue or
by the demand of one or two - interests
for protection against competition with
people living under the same flag with
them.
In the popular mind the Porto Rican
case is different from that of Cuba or
- th Philirmmes. It came under tne pro
tection of the Stars and Stripes more
than willingly gladly. We can not
afford to foreret that we sent an army
under General Miles to conquer Porto
Rico. That army went prepared to meet
the fiercest resistance, not only from the
soldiers of Spain, but from the inhab
itants of the island. What was the fact?
Frnm the landin? at the port of Ponce
to the entrance into San Juan the resist-t-
ance was nominal and , the welcome was
generous.- General Miles and his armies

The Power of Trusts.
And how came the climatic contremps.
The president, ' himself, . ate . - his own
words violated the "plain duty" he had
himself pointed out.- He had to do it or
the party was lost. It made 'no differ
ence what becameof the country and
the Porto Ricans and . the ;. constitution,
so the party was saved an& ' the ' trusts
held 1 harmless. There was consterna
tion in the ranks of the G. O. P. Recal
citrance was rampant. - Never before was
the party whip lashed with such hysteri
cal desperation.. The trusts . had whip
ped in the leaders, and the leaders '.had
whipped in the committee, and now the
party whips must whip in the recalci
trants. There were hurried scurryings
up and down the avenue, and the window
panes in the White House rattled with
the buzz. It was evident; even if the
bill should pass, that the margin would
be narrow, and a veto would be fatal.
What else could the president do but
veto it after having delivered himself of
the "plain-duty" -injunction? A veto
seemed inevitable, but the resources of
the sugar-tobacco combination were not
yet exhausted. - A veto must not be.
The president must come down off
the "plain duty" perch. Would he come?
Could he stultify himself thus? . Humili
ating as it is to an American citizen to
confess it, the president came down. ; In
their desperation a caucus was called on
the night of February 26 to whip in and
persuade in and frighten in the recalci
trants, and among the many other things
that happened was this. I read from
the Washington Post of February 27:
Representative Shattuc, of Ohio, was
one of the first speakers after Chairman
Cannon had called the. conference to
order. . "I am willing to defer my judg
ment to the judgment of the president,"
said he; "but I want some assurance be
sides whisperings under somebody's hat
that the president is for this bill. If no
assurance can be given as to that, I wish
to say that I shall hot be bound by any
decision this conference may reach. I
shall feel free to vote as I please on this
tariff bill." This brought Chairman
Payne to his feet. "I saw the president
this afternoon," he declared, "and the
president told me that he had no doubt
of the constitutionality of the Porto
Rico tariff bill. He told me also that if
the bill is passed by congress he will
sign it." . ' ' - yy. .. j-y..
: There vou have it on authority. This
report of this caucus proceedings has
not to this good . hour been disputed.
The president has surrendered. , lie had

promised to withhold his veto. It was
whispered here that he had gone so far
to leeward of "plain duty" as to send for
members and ask them to vote for the
bill. It at once reveals the power of the
trusts and the shame of the American

Where They Come From
The 109,320 votes cast for Judge Hoi
comb last year may be divided about as
follows: , '
Populist (58 per cent) - - - 63,406
Democrats (35 per cent) - - 38,262 "
Silver Republicans (7 per cent) 7,652
-Tolal - - - - 109,320
. Judge Reese polled 91,213 votes at
that election. Does any sane or honest
man believe that either the populists or
democrats, by "going it alone," could" by
any possibility carry any state office this
fall? Do the populists of Nebraska
want to turn the state government over
to the Eugene Moores,the Ole Hedlunds,
the Joe Bartleys? If they do, then mid-dle-of-the-roadism
will do it. It - is un
doubtedly true that fusion has driven a
considerable number of populists and
democrats, somewhere in the neighbor
hood of ten thousand, sayjfrom the com
bined forces. A major portion of the
16,721 who did not vote for supreme
judge last fall, . after allowing for mis
takes in marking the ballot, -were un
doubtedly former democrats and popu
lists who are opposed to fusion, and who
co operate with the republican party in
county elections. - Only twice since 1889
did the republican party poll as large a
vote as was given Judge Reese, thus
showing that those who failed to vote
the head of the ticket were at least not
full-fledged republicans. But that they
voted with the republicans on county
matters is shown by the fact that Reese
ran considerably behind an average of
the county ticket in nearly every county
in the state, while Holcomb, running a
little behind in some counties and a lit
tle ahead in . others, ran only slightly
ahead of the combined votey of all the
counties. . , . - n
, , But suppose fusion has caused certain
democrats and populists to desert their re
spective parties and affiliate with the re
publicans, what difference does it make?
There has never been a time when either
the democrats or populists could by in
dependent action curry the state. James
E. Boyd scratched through for governor;
but the democrats got nothing else. Let
us look at the vote of 1892, which J.
Sterling Morton refers to as evidence
that fusion and confusion are synonyms:
Crounse received - - - - 78,426
Van Wyck received 68,617 -Morton
received 44,195 both 112,812
Total ' v 191,238
Thus a triangular fight the result of
middle-of-the-roadism gave Crounse a
plurality of 9,809 over his highest com
petitor; but there were 34,386 majority
against him by combining the populist
and democratic strength. Suppose fus
ion did drive away ten thousand demo
crats and populists? The vote would
Jook like this: "
, Republican candidate - - 88,426
Fusion candidate -. - - 102,812 .
t " Fusidn majority S 14,386 '
A union ! of ", forces has ' enabled the
democrats and populists to accomplish
something, notwithstanding the J. Ster
ling Mortons, the Stebbms, lachtys,
et aL, j Each of the parties to the fusion
has without doubt suffered some loss,
because there are some democrats so full
of hatred' for populists that nothing
short of voting the republican ticket
would satisfy them if their party joined
hands with the populists to fight their
common enemy; and there are populists
just as ' bitter ' toward anything that
bears the name democrat. Fusion has
driven these men in a measure into the
republican fold. But fusion has elected
such men as Holcomb and Foynter to
sit in the governor's chair; such men as
Meserve, Cornell, Porter, Smyth, Wolfe
and Jackson to -manage other parts of
the state's executive business; such men
as ' Stark, Sutherland, Robinson and
Neville to sit in the national law making
body; it , has placed such a tower of
strength as Senator Allen in the United
States Senate; and it has redeemed the
supreme court of Nebraska from repub
lican control. Sensible democrats and
populists know that the two parties are
agreed upon nearly every -point of im
portance and that the differences are
not of sufficient magnitude to .warrant
independent action and consequent de
feat. No populist can say that Attorney
General Smyth's brilliant record would
be one whit more brilliant if he called
himself a populist; and no democrat can
show where the populist state officers'
proud record would be bettered if they
called themselves democrats. No dem
ocrat could make a better record as state
treasurer than J. B. Meserve has made;
but that is not saying some democrat
might not make just as good a record in
the treasurer's office.
Let every man in the three parties now
fighting a common enemy remember the
old saying that "In union there is
strength." With harmonious aition the
fusion forces are bound to win. "

HEWERS OF WOOD
That is - what the Imperialists Intend to
- ' make of the People of Porto Blco
and the Philippines. '
I now take the. provision in this bill,
, i .-i . . , i
in wuicn tne great lunaamentai propo
sition is involved. The amount at stake
I shall not take time to discuss. I do not
undertake to weigh in the scales of an
apothecary, the integrity of the Repub
lic, or human ngnts of people anywhere.
If they are infringed, so far as I am con
cerned, by so much as a hair, I will not
approve, or adopt, the proposition.
This provision does what? It imposes
a tariff of one-quarter of the Dingley
tariff upon the products of Porto Rico
coming into the United States, and upon
wnat products? Upon sugar and upon
tobacco. There u none upon coffee.
The value of the coffee produced before
this awful cyclone struck thi3 devoted
island was $4,200,000 a year. The value
of the sugar was $2,700,000 a year. The
value of the tobacco was $300,000 a year,
This imposes a tax for the revenue., of
Porto Rico upon two industries, " sugar
and tobacco, and leaves coffee entirely
free, and coffee . represents as much as
both of them yes, - more than both of
them put together. And so far as this
tax is concerned, conceived in the "good
Samaritan Habit, in the "good Saman
tan"theory,of the gentleman from Con
necticut Mr. Russell, out of great phi-
lanthropy and ' . benevolence this phi
lanthropy that takes out of a man's
pocket with the right hand, and shifts
it over to the left hand, and carries it
back to his left-hand pocket, less ex
pense of collection magnificent philan-
tnrophy and benevolence, without a cop
per' expense to the magnificent people
wno exercise tne pnuantnropy and be
nevolence! upon whom does it rest? It
rests solely upon the producers of sugar
and tobacco. Of course there are other
industries, but -these are the principle
ones, it leaves tne producers or sugar
and tobacco paying all the tax, the coffee
planters and all other property and bu
siness paying none of it. That is the
practical proposition. Why is this sug
gested now? What is its purpose? What
is its object? It is said that it is not to
protect only American industry Ut is said
that it does not bear grievously upon
Porto Rico; but what else is said? It is
said that we are, here and now and
that is the great objection which I have
to this bill it is said that we are, here
and now, as the representatives of the
Republican party, to announce to the
world, our policy in connection with Por
to Rico, and the Philippine Archipelago.
And what is that policy r That policy
is to protect the industries of the United
States, against the industries of Porto
Rico and the Philippine Archipelugo.
That means what? U-hat we are going
to develope those territories?- That we
are going to give them an , opportunity
to blossom like a rose? It means this,
and you may as well meet it here, , as to
meet it hereafter: . It means that when
they can raise sugar in Porto Rico, that
does not interfere with us, they can
raise it and send it here. It means that
when they raise it, so that it does inter
fere with .us, we will put our foot upon
their necks with a tariff, and stop it from
coming here in competition with our su-
gar. it means mat anywnere and every
where, in Jforto JKico or tne jnilippine
Archipeligo, any industry or any occu-
pstion, however much it may be devel
oped under the flag, with our energy,
and our enterprise, and our industry ,the
moment it comes into competition with
anything raised or manufactured in the
Republic, meaning the forty-five States,
according to the new theory of sublimat
ed selfishness, just that moment, the Re
public will put its hand upon it and keep
it down. so that it will not compete.
How much will you develop Porto Rico
and the Philippine Archipelago on that
policy?
lsay nere frankly, i say - nere cooiy,
and I am not excited about this, that I
do not believe that proposition will ap
peal to the good sense, the fair mind,
honest judgment, of tne people wno nave
been in the habit of voting loyally the
republican ticket. I care nothing abput
the other side. So far as we are con
cerned, I do not believe it will appeal to
them. That is the ' proposition that
Porto Rico and the Philippine Archipel
ago are an orange for us to squeeze. The
12,000,000 subject people, in these islands
are simply, under this proposition, "hew
ers of wood and drawers of water" for
75,000,000 free people. How much Amer
ican canital will tto to Porto Rioo. or in
to the Philippine Archipelago, ; if this
proposition is to be sustained, when they
knew that any develdpment they may
make there, is subject to the repressing
hand of an American,! congress? They
are, our own people in more senses,, than
one, according to the theory - of those
who propose this billif they have no
constitutional rights. than they would
be if they came in as a part of this body
politic, with the political rights of Amer
ican citizens, so that they could protect
their own interests. ' r- .
What is here proposed? We take these
people we do not let them govern them
selves, as they did practically when they
were dependents of Spain, but we take
them and we govern them according to
our own sweet will, in our own way,
in our own discretion, and then we im
pose upon them, our people, belonging to
us and if they are not citizens, they be
long to us in more senses than one our
own people, who have no control over
their institutions, who nave no opportu
nity to protect themselves who cannot
make, or administer economic laws we
give them laws, we make them as we
like, and then, if, under those circum
stances, they can succeed, we put our
feet upon their necks, and crush down,
our own people. There is a vast, a glit
tering dream of empire. That it may be
realized, plighted faith is to be braken,
the constitution trodden under foot, hu
man rights ignored. Have a care, gen
tlemen, have a care. 1 Even as you grasp
it . - . -

A Straight Populist
Brigadier General Davis, commanding
in Porto Rico, seems to be a straight
pop. He may not know it but his good,
hard common sense has enabled him to
see a way for the relief of the starving
people of that island that will be en
dorsed by any old pop farmer in this
state. In his report, page 7, he Eays:
"The measures of relief I have had
suggested to me. and which I deem of
sufficient importance to submit to the
government at Washington are . the re
moval of all duties on trade between the
United States and this island."
That is his first recommendation. His
second ia: Vy.-u -; :
r "The authorization by the Washington
government for the issue by the insular
authorities of notes in small denomina
tions to the amount of $10,000,000, the
notes representing money to be loaned
solely on landed security to the extent
of 30 or 40 per cent of the same, and no
note to be issued save where a first
mortgage on the land is behind it." -
Notes of small .denominations thus
issued would circulate as money and
Porto Rico would take on new life.

STANDARD OIL TRUST.
It has at jLast, Strange to. my, Attracted
, the Attention of a Con gress man .
Representative Fitzgerald of Massa
chusetts has introduced the following
resolutions: -
"Whereas, it appears as a matter of
public record that the Standard Oil
company paid in the city of New York
on March 15, 1900, the sum of $19,000,-
000, this amount being an extra divi
dend in addition to ' the regularly divi
dend of $3,000,000; and,
"Whereas, It is a matter of public
record that this last dividend" is $5,000,
000 in excess of the last quarterly divi
dend paid by this corporation; and,
"Whereas, It is also a matter of pub
lic record that the price of the kerosene
oil, the sole means of lighting used by
the middle and poorer classes of people,
during the period of time between the
declaration of these dividends was in
creased 3 cents a gallon, constituting a
tax on every home in the land; therefore,
be it ' '
"Re3olved, That in the opinion ' of
congress this action of the Standard Oil
company is in direct violation ot tne
rovisions of the Sherman anti-trust
aw and therefore punishable by fine
and imprisonment, and the attorney-
general is hereby directed in accordance
with the provisions of tnat act to direct
the several' district attorneys of the
United States in their respective dis
tricts to institute proper proceedings to
bring the above-named violators of the
law to justice." ; i
Now don t let any one imagine that
this republican congress will do any
thing to curtail the profits of the Stand
ard Oil trust. This congress exists by
the grace of the trust and the men it
has elected and sent to congress know
well enough that the first effective act
of theirs that tended in that direction
would end their public careers. Does
any one suppose that it would be pos
sible for a man to get a nomination in a
republican convention whom the Stan
dard Oil trust would fight? If he does
he ought to be tapped for the simples.
What do you suppose was the fee that
Coal Oil Johnny received to come all
the way from Washington to fight the
state of Nebraska in the interest of the
trust? That fee would buy half a dozen
farms, any one of which, would be
larger than you can ever hope to earn.
United States senators do not forsake
their easy life in Washington and travel
1,500 miles to argue a case for a trust
with an income like that of the Stan
dard Oil for any small sum of money.
When Coal Oil Johnny ran for the senate
against iiryan, all tne mullet neads vot
ed for Johnny. . Now they pay three
cents more for their coal oil But they
like that. They know that they, are
away down in the scale of humanity and
are only fit to toil for the trusts and the
banks. No mass of slaves ever effected
their own freedom. They have nearly
ail preferred to fight for their masters
and let others fight and die to make
them free. And so it is with the mullet
heads. .' ." ..' .

at the Lincoln Hotel at 8 o'clock 'Mon
day evening, March 19, and was called
to order by Hon. J N. Lyman.chairman
of the state central committee,
The room was filled with representative
men from all over the state who listened
with deep interest to an impressive 'k ad
dress from Mr. Lyman.
Just as Mr. Lyman was closing his re
marks William J. Bryan appeared and
was greeted with three rousing cheers.
Mr. Bryaa made one of his char

and solid arguments than some men
could tell in all day.
Mr. Fulton of Pawnee county was
made permanent chairman of the con
vention and Lawrence JJurnham of Uma

Judge Maxwell, Frank T. Ransom, R.
N. Wright, J. H. Cameron, Chas. Woos

The convention at Kansas City being
a mass convention it was decided to
select the chairmen of the county central
committees as delegates and that all
other silver republicans who desired to
attend should receive certificates that
covld give them admission.
F. J. Birss of Thayer county was desig
nated as chairman of v the Nebraska del
egation. Frank Ransom of Omaha was
elected as national committeeman.
It was unanimously agreed that on
the evening before the meeting of the
state convention a dollar banquet would
be given. ,

Mention this paper. " 1516 O St.
Heretofore the republican party has
been exceedingly fortunate in coining
catch phrases to tickle the ear of the peo
ple. But one time this party overreach
ed itself. Some months ago one could
hear on every street corner and read in
every republican newspaper that "the
constitution follows the flag",, and this
in conjunction with "who shall haul
down the flag" was supposed to be a
particularly fetching argument for "be
nevolent assimilation." Just now the
republican party is , having a peck of
trouble over its pet phrase. It isn't sure
that the constitution follows the flag un
less congress orders it to follow though
where congress gets the power to order
the constitution about is not shown.
"The constitution follows the flag" yes,
that is a catch phrase the republicans,
before this campaign ends.' will wish had
never been coined.
