hi. . ' : IIIarch 20, 19oo THE ITEBIIAOIIA IIIDEPEI JDEITT 5 i 1' I THEY NOD TO YOU , The new suits nod a merry day to all who come. We were about to say complete, but that would be a mistake, for completion cannot be in a store where new elegance gathers daily. Our store is full of new spring things for women folks. Bright and industrious men and women have been planning and laboring all winter to make the spring of 1900 a memorable one for artistic beauty and intrinsic merit of its merchandise, come today, or tomor . row iome any time and see the fruits of their, efforts. Much ready-to-wear clothing for women is right in ev erything but theproperty of staying "right." Gurs is made to fit until worn out and to wear as well as fit. v The display has received your unstinted praise. Never was encomium more worthily bestowed. We' ve assem bled all the current styles by the most direct and eco nomical process. Our -care and capacity profit you. Useless to attempt a description of the styles and values that abound in this vast department. We .welcome you now, later-on, at any and all times. V Our Mail Order Department at your service.

' ' The republicans have tried to run the government by injunction but now they have a new scheme on hands. It is gov rnment by commissions. McKinley is about to appoint a new one at the cost of $75,000 to investigate China. Munos Rivera, president of the federal party of Porto Rico, sent to W. X Bryan in care of the "New York Journal the Tollowing telegram: Hon. W. J. ' Bryan The Porto Rican federal party, speaking . in behalf of a majority of the - people of the island, tenders to the democratic party its hom age, sympathy and gratitude, for its noble defense of the rights of Porto Rico in congress .and in the press. Munos Rivera, president. . . The English are . flooding this country with photographic reproductions of war scenes in South Africa. These cuts are furnished free by the British govern ment to the great republican. dailies in thrauntry and , they .are in the highest style of the art. ?Mlllions of " them . are being circulated in that way. All the great republican . dailies, being more English in their sentiments than Ameri can, are making constant use of them. Perhaps in that secret alliance of which we have heard so 'much, there was "a clause that the British government should have so much space in the repub lican daily papers. . v - majority of 156. But don't be to hard on i thenar The poor ; Fuzzie Wuzzies never had any chance to study arithme tic They got as far as subtraction and are just now learning ' 1 how to i divide. Every g. o. p. editor in the state is giving them instruction. f " " ; The output of gold has been more than the combined production of both gold and silver when we were making the fight for president the last time. The increase in the volume of money has had exactly the result we said it would have in increasing prices. .Now the banks propose to come and iflnate the currency still further. The result will be a further increase in prices. The law of the quantitative theory of money is as weir understood and as certain in its operations as ' the law o1 gravitation. But this stuff - that the banks are putting out by the million is not money in any true sense of the word for it is not a legal tender. ; The result of that is just as certain as that an in crease in money will raise prices. Every economist knows what the result a will be. It is simply a panic breeder. After the inflation there will come a time of liquidation. Then nothing will pay a debt but gold. If any populist gets caught he deserves his fate. The honesty and reliability of the Wharton Barker papers can be judged from the following editorial which, ap peared in the last edition of the Daltoa (Ga.) Herald, and every other Fuzzie Wuzzie sheet all over the United States. "The populists of Nebraska met at Lincoln, on the 19th, and elected a full delegation to attend the populist nation al convention, at Cincinnati, on the 9th of May. Fusion is too dead in Nebras ka to skin. The populists will hold their state convention to nominate for governor and other state officers some time in July. The 20,000 democrats of that state are about equally divided be tween Morton, the honest gold bug, and Bryan, the tricky silverbug; though it seems that most of them went to . the republicans 'in the recent ' election in the city of Omaha." ; i According to the Fuzzie Wuzzies, Butler sold out the populists of Nebraska to the democrats at; the meeting of the national committee.' Bui 1,200 of them came to Lincoln last week in person and gave their names to the public as sanc tioning what Butler did. Then they turned around and with a whoop, unan imously heaved Clem Deaver out through the transom. The Fuzzie Wuz zies still claim that they , had 57 votes in the national committee and . that was a The IMPROVED VICTOR Incubator hatches all tb fertile eggs: la I m pie, durable and easily oper ated; 188 page catalogue cod tain I nf Information and testimonial!

Bixby, you would better have a care. You have made some .awful slips in your writing lately and if the thing happens again you will be out of a job. Yes you will sure. Now just think what you did in last Thursday's Journal! After quoting one of Col. Dick's univer sal republican editorials, you said, yes you did, that: "A large number of the republican papers of the state contain few or no ed itorial page paragraphs that express an opinion upon any question under the sun. Some fatten up with a Washington letter and still others write some origi nal stuff, and use ' without any mark to distinguish it from their own. para graphs of which the above is a sample, sent by Charles Dick from No. 700 Four teenth street, northwest, Washington, D. C." . : i ; ' Now if you do such a thing as that again you. will be in the soup sure. How could you think of demanding that a mullet head editor should write editor ials that expressed an opinion? The thing is preposterous and the demand that you made is unreasonable. Abso lutely unreasonable. Now Bix, have a care. The Independent . would very much regret to see you lose your job.

Now is the time for farmers to plant fruit trees. , Cherries do well and bear finely all over the state for ten or fifteen years, then new trees must be planted. It is well to plant new ones before the old ones die. There are several varieties of apples that do well over the east two- thirds of the state. The Ben Davis and the Jenetons are the two leading vari eties. Try a few they will cost but a small sum. Fruit trees indicate a man lives there as much as windows indicate the presence of a woman. The largest temperance meetinsr ever held in Lincoln was brought together last Sunday afternoon. The new audi torium was packed, counting four thou sand or mora and it was judged that two thousand went away for the want of room. . John G. Wooley spoke. His subject was: "Judgment Must Begin at the House of God." He applied hot medicine to the church members who voted to license the saloon for a part of the money gained. The sentiment still floats in level heads, that the onlv wav to stop drunkenness is to pursuade men not to buy. They do not consider the fact that drunkenness is ten times greater in cities near saloons than five miles away, in the country where they nave no saioons. , ; It is charged that the Bryan party is made up of the rag-tng and bob-tail of calamity and degeneracy." The same was said of the party that elected Abe Lincoln. Strange how slave drivers and gold bugs look out of the same eyes. ' - - It is easy to see the game the gold bugs are playing. They have been buy ing cotton, corn, wheat and harrnl putting up . prices, but as soon as elec tion is over they .will draw in their money and down will go prices again. Flush money will make better prices uuu a sew iucu uatc tb m uueir power lO shorten up the money supply. . ' Rev. J. W. Hamilton denounced the uoers Derore me meinoaist (Conference, at Kansas City, the other day and praised nhristianizA t,hem. Trtn nnfnn cheered him to the echo. The crime charged to the Boers was that they did not allow the black man to worship with them. Where is there a church where the two races worship together in this country? u , , ' .'-."; , . : - , -; :-. . v T,"- The South African war has already cost England a hundred million pounds sterling or a half billion dollars. The war has cut off one hundred and fifty millions of regular annual revenue. The new taxes and the increase of the old are supposed to cover the deficiency and turn into the national treasury about as much more, the balance must be met by borrowing. Bonds bearing 2 per cent interest have already been placed on the market. The loss in men has been fif teen thousand. -V " The Porto Rican bill will uudoubtedly pass, for the sugar and tobacco trusts must be protected whether the people of the island starve or not. It appears the sugar and tobacco men were a little late in buying up the goods over 'there. Parties outside tHe trusts own - them, now it would skin the trusts to let them bring the sugar and tobacco over here tree. V The legislature of the state of New York has refused to pass the law taxing bonds and mortgages by the state. Of course moneyed men must not be taxed. Working men s homes, and farms mu3t pay all the taxes. It was urged that to tax mortgages would compel the bor rower to pay more interest. So to tax houses and farms would compel renters to pay more rent. The right thing to do is for each state to repeal all laws for collecting . notes,, mortgages, accounts and judgments, more than one year old unless tney - nave oeen usiea ior assess ment and taxation - the same as other valuables. Then eastern men holding debts against Nebraska men would need to be taxed here fn order to collect their debts by law, so home men would need to pay as mucn tax on their warrants, notes and mortgages as widows pay on their homes, in order to be able to collect by law. Look at the assessment of personal property in this state. Men who own tens of thousands ot dollars of interest bearing mortgages and registered warrants pay less tax than poor men who work by the day and own but a small cottage. We plead for justice and equality. . , - V. J. It is urged- that England betters things wherever she touches. -Mexico has bettered herself more without Eng land's help than any spot where Eng land has helped. What has she done for India? She holds the people up by the throat, with a large army and takes everything for taxes, leaving only enough to scantily feed the people for the time being. . The surplus every year is taken so when a short crop comes millions at area tn rlooVi "Nrr. n VmerlAi nan Ha saved for the time of need, only by cTig- lhg holes in the ground at night, storing their grain and covering it up so the tax gatherer cannot find it. An army of a quarter of a million must be fed and the English millionaires must be fed in mouth and in pocket. t The prince of Wales alone musfbe paid enough every year to feed five thousand starving sub jects. Thousands are now dying daily of starvation, and the queen is, at the same time conquering another patch in South Africa that she may : control another country of death.

The voters of the nation under our. form of govern ment must settle the pplicy that is to be pursued in the Philippines, but how are they to do it with any, justice if the facts are withheld from hem? ; Senator AlleQ introduced a. resolution askirig foe a full list of the dead, insane, suicides and wounded in the Philippines. It was fought by the administration men on the floor of the senate, and the reason given was that if the. information was furnished it would discourage enlistments.'-'. " -, ' "." V "" That there has been heavy fighting in' the Philippines recently,, that our losses have been severe, that the Filipinos are preparing fox another campaign and that our army there is , being, decimated by fighting, disease, suicides and insanity at such a fearful rate that practically a new army will, have to be sent over with the next year if we are to hold the islands, no one can longer, doubt who has taken the trouble to read the news from Manilla hidden away in the grave yards of the great dailies. .The j. censor ship is still maintained in all its vigor, but letters mailed at Hong Kong have been printed that tell to some extent the true state of affairs. The following is one of them.' . ' . ... "Manilla, Feb. 13 It is a strange state of affairs that exists in the Philippines today. Improvement is visible in nearly every quarter. ' Civil governments are rapidly being established in every town of importance, and garrisons and patrols are in process- of extension ' wherever Americans hold territory, and yet it is an undeniable fact that since January 1 the insurgent forces have captured a - , J ; at.: a numuer oi rmes ana quauuues oi ammu tion from the Americans, almost equal ing the sum total of American captures from the insurgents. . Besides this, the casuality rate for the. last two weeks will come very close . to being heavier than at any other period of the insur rection, with the exception of the time of the outbreak and the fortnight begin ning with March 25, 1899. , "These are hard facts to swallow and somewhat alarming into the bargain, The threatened guerrilla warfare that was heard on every side seems to be a reality and parties of fifty and smaller numbers are ambushed and "jumped" day after day. The authorities are giv ing the question considerable attention and every effort will be made to insure the public safety, for on this depends the future of the country."

' The Anglo-American Chinese develop ment company is behind the whole busi ness. This company, organized about two years ago with enormous capital for the exploitation of China by American and English multi-millionaires has con trolled McKinley and his whole admin istration. The 'prosecution' of the war upon the Filipinos is part of their plan. This company must hold the Philippines and make those islands a base of opera tions and supplies for .the raid on China. It is the most infernal piece of deviltry that the world ever saw. It is expected that - America will give up her young men by. the hundred thousand to die in the tropics that these greedy Anglo American capitalists may ravage half of the world. Evidence is also accumulating that McKinley is about to engage in another war. . He is assembling a large fleet in Chinese waters in conjunction with the fleet of Great Britain. Every one knows that the time is near at hand when the break up of China and its partition among the great powers of the world will be undertaken. Russia still con tinues to rush troops toward the Afghan frontier and fortify her position at Port Arthur. A clash between Russia- and England seems imminent, and the send ing of our best fighting ships to China to line up along side those cf England is simply a re-enforcement of the British military power in Asia. Any moment the war may break out and . McKinley will have us in it up to our eyes. What It will not be very long after a dozen or so of our fighting sea captains get to sailing around among hostile fleets in the China seas until the report will come that "the old flag has . been fired upon," and then the. old cry will be raised again that the insult must be avenged. After that' the awful cost and suffering of another foreign war with unlimited bond, issues and unending burdens placed upon the backs of those who toil. It is into this bottomless pit of destruction that the insane partisans at Washington are about to hurl this nation. They have gone mad with success. They have passed - their gold standard bill. They have obtained control - of nearly all the industries and combined them in trusts. They are about to flood the country with paper money and make a fictictious prosperity upon which they propose to create a great standing army and build a great navy and when the days of distress come, hold -the . people in subjection at the point of the bayonet. All the news of the world . during the last week tends toward showing that is the real purpose of the money trust which now holds in its hand and guides by its will the destinies of England and America. There are many indications however that these grand plans of greed and power will not be put through without friction.: It has seemed almost impossi ble in the past to get ' the mass of the party whose vote have made the present situation, to understand and apply ab stract truths, v They have seated the money power in the saddle and although we have told them all the time what the consequences would be, they could not comprehend the reasoning.
