News of the Week
At the meeting of the democrat,
populist and free silver republican
state central committees at the state
capitol Monday it was agreed to hold
the three state conventions in Lincoln
on July 11. There was a slight tend
ency in the democratic committee to
wards having the'eonvention In Omaha,
but this, sentiment was, killed, ine
other committees readily agreed as to
place, but the time question was an
other matter.
The . democrats who favored a late
date--eome time in July were in the
majority by but two or three votes,
ana it was a close shave, as the rest
of the -committee wanted the date
early in June- .The conference com
mittee. .was instructed to secure a
date as near July 24 as possible, but
the populists had already settled on
July 11, and they would not recede,
so the democrats finally agreed to that
date.
Mrs. C S. Jones, superintendent of
the home for the friendless, has
turned Into the state treasury $1,100
on account of money received from in
dividuals for board of inmates at the
lpstitution under her charge. Under
the rules for admission, -'certain In
mates are, required to pay for board
furnished, them; and the .rules further
require that the money so received be
covered Into the state treasury. "The
payment above i3 the first ever re
ceived from the home for the friendless.-
51 rs. C. C Pool died Tuesday morn
ing at her home in this city. She had
been-ill only one week and her death
came under peculiarly sad circumstan
ces. Her husband is deputy state au
ditor. He left home last week to go to
Sacramento, Cal., hoping to relieve a
pulmonary complaint. He was very
weak when he left Lincoln, but stood
the trip as well as could have been
expected. After he had gone his wife
became ill with pneumonia. Her ill
ness was kept from her husband, but
on Monday she became better and for
the first time her husband was ap
prised of her condition. Yesterday
morning she grew worse and died of
heart failure. She was thirty-three
years old and leaves six children, the
oldest being fourteen years old and
the youngest eight months old. She
was born in Richardson county and
the funeral services will be held at
Humboldt, where her parents live.

iow tney nave a pian wen advanced to
corner the water. A franchise, such , as
was never seen on the face of the earth
has been granted to a company of mil
lionaires which takes every particle of
water in the state not already appro
priated. There has been an effort made
in Roosevelt's legislature to destroy this
franchise, but it has not succeeded, so
water will soon be one of the , things in
the state of New York that the trusts
will lay their tribute upon. When that
day comes it will be a very dark time
for the trusts.
There seems to have been enough del

Nothing of importance haa occurred
In South Africa during the" week.
There has been considerable desultory
fighting, the Boers seeming to be scat
tered all over the country, in the rear
of the British army as well as in front
of it, The London dailies have been
predicting for several days that Lord
Roberts was about to do something
terrible, but so far he has .remained
at Bloomfontein.
There has been considerable skir
mishing in the Philippines, and there
was cnt fight that came near the pro
portions of a battle. Some of the cable
grams that are sent over are too fishey
for belief by. any one. That 300 Fili
pinos, a large part of yhom were armed
with rifles, could lose 105 men and not
inflict even a scratch upon the Ameri
cans, is a tale that might be told to
children, but grown up people would
not even be amused with it. Again the
surrounding of villages and the mur
der of the .whole oi' the Inhabitants
might be interesting reading for the
Sultan of Sulu, but hardly so for a
nation engaged in the propagation of
Christianity. The following two cable
grams are given as samples:
"General Young reports that SOO in
surgent riflemen and bolomen attacked
the American garrison at Batoc, prov
ince of North I locos, yesterday, but
were repulsed, losing a hundred and
six men. The Americans had no casu
alties." ,
"Captain Didd, with a squadron of
the Third cavalry, recently surrounded
a village in Benguet province and sur
prised 200 insurgents, living in bar
racks, apparently a recruiting centre
for the province.- The enemy lost fifty-
three men killed. Our troops also cap
tured forty-four men and burned the
village. One American was wounded.
A matter that has been cf very great
Interest to the citizens of this state was
the profer of the ctaucellcrship of the
university to Dr. E. Benjamin An
drews the great author, economist and
educator. At this writing he has not
formally accepted but the news is to
the effect that he will. A disreputable
exhibition cf partisanship was shown
by the action of the two republican re-
gents, who demanded a roll call that
taey might go on record - as voting
against it. They both admitted that
Dr. Andrews was a man of high schol-
ar&hip and wonderful administrative
ability, but In his works on political
econonyvwhich. are text books- In the
universities in this country and in
Europe, he haa defended the quantity
theory, of money and advocated bimet
allism. These objecting - regents
claimed that the appointment of such
a man was bringing politics into the
university. . As long as every thing was
republican in. the university, from topi
10 uuiwm were wu so pontics au 11 m
their view.

When the war . taxes were imposed,
the republicans gave out that the great
corporations whose business would be
immensely increased by the war, like
the telegraph companies and express
companies were to be made to pay
tneir snare or tnese taxes. But as. in
every other promise they have ever
made to the people they intended to
do the very opposite and exempt these
corporations from all war taxes. The
stamp tax on telegrams and express
packages was so arranged that the peo
ple should pay it and not the corpora
tions. The United States supreme
court has handed down" a uecision to
the eftect that congress intended that
these corporations should not be taxed
and that ends the matter.
During the week twelve of the great
steel mills shut down and many thou
sands of men were thrown out of .work.
That is just what the Independent has
often told its readers would happen in
the near-future. The price of steel
has been arbitrarily raised by the
trust to such a. point that it must cur
tail consumption. If the price of every
thing had gone up in the same propor
tion, production could have continued,
for the consumer would have had abil
ity to buy. Now the old cry is raised
again of overproduction. The head of
these concerns gives the: following rea
son for closing them and turning the
men ou the streets.- -
"It all amounts to this, that the steel
and iron business is In bad shape. ' It
; has been getting worse constantly, and
mills of every sort have been running
on orders that they had secured six
or more months ago. The demand to
day, tin our line at least, and -1 think
proportionately so in the other depart
ments of the steel trade, Is only about
30 per cent of the volume it should be.
For instance, we have been making
5,000 and 6,000 tons of finished pro
ducts In the "justified expectation of
selling about 6,000. We-have, in fact,
been selling only 2,000 or 3,000 tons.
That illustrates the situation."
The result of this will be that bus
iness in many different lines must be
curtailed. If these thousands of work
men can earn no wages" they can buy
no goods and the factories that have
supplied them will, have to shorten
hours or discharge more men. The
strange thing about this matter is that
it all happens when we have "sound
money." "money that is good in
Europe," when "every dollar is as good
lac ctrtv nther rtnllni" -urn on t no crnlii
as any other dollar, wnen Tne goia
standard has been given the validity
of law" and every other thing that was
warranted to give us perpetual pros
perity has been established by a re
publican congress, ,
The Idaho bull -pen Investigation
was continued during the week. The
Standard Oil attorneys presented a pe
tition to the secretary, of war of sev
eral hundred citizens of Couer d'Alene
district asking for the retention of the
federal troops. Representative Sulzer
denounced the petition as "bogus and
fraudulent," declaring that many of
the signatures were forgeries- and that
other names had been" secured by in
timidation. He asked to introduce af
fidavits attacking the petition, but Af
ter an. animated controversy these
were' ruled out, the vote being on party
lines. A motion by Mr. Sulzer calling
on the president for affidavits bearing
on the petition was- similarly, voted
down by the committee. What hope
can there be for a country when men
holding such responsible positions
In this manner?
The very great cost of McKlnley's
commissions, because men do not have
to go down in their, pockets, get the
money and pay it - out for" that es
pecial thing, does not seem to create
the sensation thatTsuch outrageous ex
penditures should. It is hard to count
up the number of commissions that
he has created by the exercise of his
own free will. There does not seem to
be any law for the creation of these
great and costly pie counters where
McKinley's pets feed to their heart's
content, In tne most corrupt tiroes in
England when It was thought that "a
king could do no . wrong," when the
representatives of the rotten boroughs
had things all their own way there"
was nothing more corrupt than this
McKinley commission business. The
items for just one of them were given
out l&s; week. It is one of his Philip
pine commissions; as follows:
INDEPENDENT 10
"Compensation of 10,000 each to
Commissioners Schurman, Worcester,
and Denby, $30,000; per diem allow
ance to commissioners after their re
turn to the United States, $5,2S5; sec
retary to commission compensation.
$8,500, per diem, $3,600, $12,220; trans
portation, ?13.6S7; household expenses
in Manila. $9,252; clerical services.
$31,701; miscellaneous, $14,99 S; total,
$117,lSo.
In the very beginning of the effort
to convert this republic into an empire,
the Independent pointed out this
shameless use of patronage and said
that It would as surely follow as it had
in all the history of the past where a
nation started on a policy of imperial
ism, mere oe tnousands or persons
drawing imperial salaries in the Phil
ippines, In Cuba, in Porto Rico, or
promised them, before this campaign
is over. The recipients and all their
friends will be hot supporters of Mc
Kinley and Mark Hanna.
Value cf Money.
In 1896 w were told by. republican
politicians that the Quantity of monev in
circulation had no effect whatever upon
the prices of products; that there was
"plenty of money, etc, etc Since then
greatly increased demand for our pro
ducts, especially food-stuffs, occasioned
by short crops abroad, together with the
great production of gold in the Klon-
dyke and South Africa, have resulted in
the addition of nearly $300,000,000 in
cold to our money circulation; and now
these same republican " politicians never
tire of producing figures to show the in-
creased circulation. If there was ample
money to do business in 1S93, there must
be too much now. Or, if there is just
enough now, there must have been too
little in ISA!. The following table should
be taken with a grain of allowance, for
the treasury department has a trick of
counting every dollar ever issued by. the
United States, deducting what. is in the
treasury, and calling "the remainder in
circulation while as a" matter of fact a
considerable reduction should be made
for money lost and destroyed in various
ways. .But the figures undoubtedly are
suScienUy correct to sustain the "quan
titative theory of inoney' and show that
but for. the adventitious circumstances
which addded $300,000,000 to our circu
lation, the general level of prices would
have declined to an alarming extent
since 1396. ' .

Plain Taik and Well Said
"The principle on which the claims
for bimetallism rested in 1S96, is avowed
by every standard political economist
that has ever written during 2,000 years
in any language or any country, and it
is no abandonment of that, principle to
admit .that circumstances may. have
temporarily obscured the importance of
the question either by a relaxation of
the rigors of monometallism through in
creased monetary .supplies, or by the
appearance of other issues which, be
cause of their far-reaching importance,
must claim' first place in the interest of
the people until they are settled and set
tled right.. There are no terrors for me
in the detractions " of either .malevolent
representation or ignorant malice. The
republican party has followed up its sur
render to the banks in 1S96, by as base
a surrender to the trusts and above and
beyond all else .it has challenged the
patriotism of the American people by
laying an unholy hand upon the consti
tution and by proposing to divorce the
flag from the glorious, legends of liberty
tnat nave neretoiore always waved upon
its resplendent folds. I have not the
slightest hesitancy in spying that all
other questions must remain subordi
nate to this great problem of how to save
the government of our fathers front its
recreant betrayal at the hands 'of the
present day leaders of the republican
party. Towne.

Contract Labor Imported "
- Recently the New -York Herald i im
ported a Porto Rican laborer under a con
tract that was drawn in violation of the
law forbidding the importation into the
United States of contract laborers. The
immigration commissioners of New York
detained the Porto Rican and the New
York Herald applied for a writ of Ha
beas Corpus to secure his release, claim
ing that as Porto Rico was a part of the
United States, the Porto Rican laborer
was a citizen entitled to the protection
of the Habeas Corpus writ. The dis
pute was telegraphed to Washington to
President McKinley who directed that
the immigration commissioner release
the Porto Rican . laborer. Thus it has
been established that laborers from "the
new possessions" are to be permitted to
come to the United States under con
tract How long before the great cor
porations will be bringing boatloads -of
Hawaaians, Filipinos, Mestizo's half
breed Filipino and Chinese) and all
other classes of Asiatic pauper laborers
to this country? -Does .such a course
forebode any troBd for the -American
working man? Will they favor imperial
ism with such results in sight? We be
lieve not.

Representatives of German-American
newspapers in ten states have formulated
plans for a crusade against imperialism
and trusts, and the prediction is made
by one of the conferees that when the
rolls close- next -November. President
McKinley will have no reason to doubt
the verdict of this division of the voters
army as to the policies which have grown
out of his administration. The meeting
at which the move was beeun was held
at the Sherman House, Chicago. For
reasons which are not disclosed the con
ference was not advertised, and its pro
ceedings were not reported - locally. It
is admitted however that German-Amer
ican editors were in. attendance from
Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Indi

" TWO OF 0021 PAUL'S SOLDIERS TJjfDEE GUARD.
According to the war correspondent who photographed the two Boer pris

are without uniforms and are dressed exactly as -they wer when they 4 emu

Dr. P. L. Hall, secretary " of the state
banking board, has received from the
printers the eighth annual report of the
Department of Banking. ' This re
port shows the condition of the incor
porated, private .-and -savings -banks of
Nebraska irom December 1, 1898, to De
cember 2, '1899. During the period
named onlyone bank, the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Butte, was closed
and placed in the hands of a receiver.
Deposits increased $3,440,930.83 and
loans and discounts increased $3,593,
533.10 during th period. At . the close
of business December 2, 1899, there were
40o banks under state supervision, with
capital stock paid in over $7,000,000; de
posits of $21,660,111.12 and loans and
discounts amounting to $21,202,752,67.
An interesting feature of the report is a
history of-bankinsr, laws in Nebraska,
definition of a bans; and important de
cisions of the supreme court of Nebraska
afxectinsr banks." -The individual state
ments of the 405 banks follow, in alpha
betical, order, making a book of. 339
pages valuable for reference.
The Porto Rican Tariff : .
Such measure, if enacted, will. I be
lieve, be unique in our whole history. It
will imitate and parallel the acts of the
British Parliament which forced our
fathers to just resistance and; revolu
tion, and led them - to establish a consti
tution which in studied and explicit
terms forbade any such discrimination.
