A6A1NST THE OLIGARCHY
Prof. Goldwin Smith of Toronto . ex
presses this 'conservative view of the po
litical situation:
. "The republican party in the 'States,
that is practically the party of the plu
tocratic oligarchy, and imperialism, is ev
idently quaking and has reason to quake.
President McKinley ' has found it pru
dent to drop for the time his ' connection
with the British aristocracy and jingo
ism. "
"At this moment the chances are prob
ably rather in favor of . Bryan and the
anti-imperialists. But much -; must de-
Knd on the turn which events may take
tween this .time and " November. If
the condition of ' affairs in the Philip
pines should improve, the troubles in
Porto Rico subside and prosperity con
tinue at? home,- McKinley has a good
chance of winning. The fight at bottom
will be between commonwealth and oli
garchial corruption."

This will remove a heavy load from the
mind of one E. ' Rose water, editor-in-chief
of the .True Populist ,. and another
paper. RoseWater was greatly shocked
because Chairman. Edmisten for a short
time occupied a vacant room in the Cap
itol and wrote, a few letters from that
place, and he made sarcastic comments
about populist economy. If ' Mr. Rose
water would brighten up his usually
good recollection a bit he might think of
the days of yore when whole families of
republicans lived in the capitol rent free
and he never murmured. . Talk,: about
economy.
What is the "United States'1
"Does the term designate the whole or
any particular portion - 6f the American
empire?, Certainly this question can ad
admit of but one answer. It is the name
of our great repuhlic, which is composed
of states and territories. The District
of Columbia or the territory-west of the
Missouri is not less within , the United
States than Maryland or Pennsylvania."

THE UNSUCCESSFUL JUGGLER.
Wheri Politics Is Business
' A curious state of affairs is shown by
the election returns of of 1898 for the
Tenth representative district (Douglas
county.) The nine republican candi
dates for representative had a combined
vote of 41,403, or an average of 4,000
each; the fusion candidates received a
combined vote of 42,823, or an average
of 4,758 each. At first blush it would
seem that if the votes had been evenly
distributed, the nine fusionists would
have been elected by 158 majority each.
Seven republicans and two fusionists
were elected; the former had an average
vote of 4,903 each and the latter 5,420.
The seven defeated fusionists averaged
4,569 votes each, and the two defeated
republicans had only 3,541 each. , On
the surface it would appear that the re
publicans, by skilful jugglery, had sac
rificed two men to elect seven. But such
is not the fact. The two successful fu
sionists averaged 851 votes higher than
their fellow candidates and these may
be set down as republican votes. But
the two unsuccessful republicans aver
age 1,362 less than their lucky brothers,
showing that about 500 republicans did
not vote Jf or Koutsky and Walker, and
did not vote for the fusion candidates.
The Tenth district in 1898 was normally
about 534 republican, and the" f unionists
did exceedingly well to get two members
out-of nine4 ,
; These figures illustrate the political
methods of Douglas county. When the
result in the state is in doubt it is not
an infrequent occurrence for Douglas to
divide its representation in the legisia-
ture to make sure . of , having . friends in
the party in. power and thus be able to
secure the enormous appropriations for
Omaha and Douglas county that they
have in the past. In Omaha politics is
business, and business is politics.. . Dol

Separators-r-Profit-
Various insurance companies have
paid into the state treasury 86,270 on ac
count of the Eugene Moore shortage.
There is . still a large amount unpaid.
The. companies had originally paid Moore
for services , rendered while he was audi
tor and head of the insurance depart
ment. The constitution requires all such
fees'to be paid in advance into the
state treasury, but the insurance laws
designate the auditor as the officer to be
paid. Moore pocketed about 822,000 of
insurance fees, and the supreme court
held that he was not the proper party to
receive the money, and, consequently,
the matter stood the same as if payment
had never been made. Under this de
cision Auditor Cornell and Deputy In
surance Commissioner Price have re
quired that the companies pay again,
and this time to the proper officer the
state treasurer. '
Judging from the reports of assessors'
meetings in the various counties, the
grand assessment roll of 1900 will scarcely
exceed mat or yy, it in fact it equals
it. , The concerted effort in all the richer,
counties to force down the valuation of
property, and in plain violation of law,
must be effectually overcome before any
thing like equitable taxation for main
tenance of state government can be ac
complished. Just what will do this is the
problem! A system of state insurance
would bring about better assessments.
If each property owner, by paying a small
levy on the dollar valuation, could have
his property insured by the state at its
assessed valuation, there would be some
incentive to list property at about its
cash value. There might be abuses of
such a . system, but the cases would be
isolated. . At present public opinion is
nullifying a plain provision of the statute
and personal property is being . assessed
at. from one-fourth to one-twentieth of its
actual value. De France. .
The American working man receives
higher wages than his European brother
no sensible - person denies this." But
such a fact is an exceedingly uncertain
foundation upon which to build an elab
orate argument, in favor of the republi
can idea of "protection." .The American
working man pays much more for cost of
living, rent, , etc., than the European
workingman pays." More than that, he
receives a smaller percentage, in wages,
of the value of what he produces than is
given his brother in'Europe. The aver
age annual production of an American
woraingman is , $.j,t3.uu; nis ' wages
amount to about 17 per cent of that. : A
workingman in Great ; Britain, receives
25 per cent of what he "produces, a Bel
gian about the same; a . Frenchman 32
per, cent; a Russian 31 per cent; an, Aus
trian 36 and an Italian 49.
. The owners of capital invested in any
productive enterprise are entitled 'to a

fair compensation for the use of such
capital; but no reasonable man will claim
that 83 per cent of. the entire wealth
produced by labor should go to the own
ers of capital for their compensation. All
the laboring people of the United States,
if they spent every .cent of their wages,
could buy but 17 per cent of what they
produce. Who is - to .buy the other 83
per cent? Nine per cent of the popula
tion own 71 per cent of the wealth; this
nine per cent could buy the surplus pro
ducts, but they could not use them.
A merry war " is how in progress be
tween D. E. Thompson and a sextette of
Lincoln republican',. politicians. Some
time ago Thompson threw down the
gauntlet and said he would abide by the
result Of the primaries if the sextette
would; but the, septette was afraid. So
Thompson went "ahead and captured
everything in sight. . Ntow the sextette
are accusing Thompson of attempting an
unholy alliance --with! the fusionists a
little over a year" ago in order to defeat
the election , of .Senator Han ward.
Thompson vows be did no such thing.
Then F. M. Hall posts a certified check
for $1,000 and ' offers - to prove that
Thompson has -been allowing his truth
to go masquerading "And; faithful Joe
Burns jumps into Jthe-Jbreach.. and calls
Hall "another." -Taking it all in all, the
State Journal is mighty interesting read
ing these days, lor here both Thompson
and the sextette-f which Papa Gere is
one air their grievances. ;,- Seven re
publican aspirants for the United States
senatorship in one' county i and all fight
ing like sin, ought-to' create a' condition
that would make a fusionist j feel like
running for the legislature. .
Read the "Special Offer" for campaign
subscriptions to , be found on page 12.
Remember that "faith without works is
dead" and that good intentions and res
olutions to send in clubs without work
availeth nothing.
Fusionists will. recollect that when the
First Nebraska was to be mustered out
at San Francisco, D: E. Thompson con
tributed $20,000 toward paying trans
portation for the regiment back to Lin
coln. And everybody has good will to
ward Mr. Thompson for his generous act.
The legislature of 1901 will reimburse all
contributors to that transportation fund,
Mr. Thompson with. the rest, no matter
What may be the political complexion of
that body. Fusionists should be on
their guard against surprises in the com
ing legislative campaign rover zealous re
publicans may attempt to win votes for
their legislative candidates by claiming
that the legislature .must, be republican
in order to reimburse Thompson and the
other contributors. Members of the
First Nebraska who vote the fusion
ticket must not be caught by such chaff.
Outside of the Lincoln sextette there are
few Nebraskans who would oppose re
imbursement. ., . ,
