cp the great doctrines which it had so
often avowed and undertook to aban
don the great ' rritory between the
Mississippi and ..he Pacific to its fate.
It bell its convention at Philadelphia,
It selected as Its candidate a great mil
itary chieftain. Amid the ten pest and
delirium a quiet delegate from my own
state arose and declared to the conven
tion that the WhI? party was dead. It
--nd that a more Sullaclous. a more
fxnh. a more astounding utterance
never fell upon human ears. And what
was the result? The party carried the
country a::l eler-ted its president. But
within lc?s than four years thereafter
I'sni'-l WeLsttT, as he lay dying at
Marhf.el l. said. The Whig party as a
p-lltical orgitlzation Is gone, an It Is
well Iet no such fate attend the Re
publican party. In my Judgment, If
uot cow, it will retrace Its steps In
time-
The two concluding sentences of that
tnngrpb are pitiable when we con-
sidr who uttered them. Senator FJoar
Is sn old man. He helped create the
Republican party, which, he fondly
Loped, was immortal, but he sees Its
finish. Yet the affections of his heart
cling to it. aad despite the evidence of
bis own senses he exclaims, "In my
Judgment, if not now. It will retrace its
tep ia time." Vain hope! The Re
publican party, like Ephraim of old. Is
Joined to its ldoh which is the almighty
dollar. All the eloquf nee. all the learn
ing, ail the pathos, all the courage, all
the patriots of a dozen men like Sena
tor Hoar, cannot check It In Its mad ca
reer. It Is (doomed!
Illtrl Traitor.
Spaliing of Edward Everett's splen
di J prophecy that a time wcnld come
wh-n Washington's birthday would be
celebrated even in the orient Senator
Hoar exclaimed:
"TLe t'r which the orator predicted
c?. In that eastern archiielago. no
lrfizx-T the home of barbarism, a people
had achieved their Independence and
throwli off the ycie of centuries. They
w-re longing for civilization, education
and liberty. To the millions, with
which that land Is swarming. In the
dawning of a new light the name of
Washington has become familiar. But,
ala. the pri!e are Htins? his example

threefold in number the fwopie to
whom LLs farewell address tras deliv
ered. Pray to God that that revered
ted beautiful chars-tter. our shield so
iften against disteaired folly and un
latlawed ambition, may le theirs
ai.'
A to tiiitors the veoeraWe senator
dt!ivt-red himself of these sizzling seii
; ttxes:
; If to think as I do la regard to the
Interprets Uoa of the constitution; la
rgrd to the mauiates of the moral
law or the law of nations, to which all
ru3 and all nations must nnder obe
dieiicf: In regard to the policies which
are wisest for the conduct of the state,
or la regard to those facts of recent
; history la the light of which we have
the supreme court of the United States
Las been in the past a nest and hotbed
of treason; then the people of the Unit
ed States, 'for more, than a century,
here been traitors to their own flag
and their own constitution.
"We are presented with an issue that
can be clearly and sharply stated as a
question of constitutional power, a
question of International law, ft ques
tion of Justice and righteousness or a
question of public expediency. This
can be stated clearly and sharply in
the abstract, and it can be put clearly
and sharply by an Illustration growing
out of existing facts
He then proceeds to roast the ribs of
the Jingoes In this artistic fashion:
I hold that this acquisition,- holding
and governing can be only a means for
a constitutional end the creation of
new states or some other of the con
stitutional 'purposes to which I have
adverted. And I maintain that you
can no more hold and govern territory
than you can hold and manage cannon
or fleets for any other than a constitu
tional end, and I maintain that the
holding in subjection an alien people,
governing them against their will for
any fancied advantage to them, is
not only not an end provided for by the
constitution, but is an end prohibited
therein.
Congrna and the Constitution.
"The constitution of the United
States seta forth certain specific ob
jects and confers certain specific pow
ers upon the government it creates.
All powers - necessary or reasonably
convenient to accomplishing these spe
cific objects and exercising these spe
cific povvers are granted by implica
tion. In my judgment, the constitu
tion 6hould be liberally construed tn
determining the extent of such powers.
In that I agree with Webster and Ham
ilton and Lincoln and Washington and
Marshall and not with Calhoun os the
Democrats of the time of the war of
the rebellion and since. But the most
liberal statesman or jurist never went
further than the rule I have stated in
claiming constitutional powers for our
government. The constitution says
that congress may make rules and reg
ulations for the government of the ter
ritory and other property of the United
States. That Implies that we may
acquire and regulate territory as we
may acquire and use other property,
such as our ships of war, our cannon
or forts or arsenals. But territory,
like other property, can only be acquir
ed for constitutional purposes and can
not be acquired and governed for un
constitutional purposes. Now, one con
stitutional purpose is to admit new
states to the Union. That is one of
the objects for which the constitution
was framed. So we may acquire and
hold and govern territory with that
object in view. But governing sub
ject peoples and holding them for that
purpose is not a constitutional end.
On the contrary, it is an end which
the generation which framed the con
stitution and the Declaration of Inde
pendence, declared was unrighteous
and abhorrent. So, in my opinion, we
have no constitutional power to ac
quire territory for the purpose of hold
ing it in subjugation, in a state of
vassalage or serfdom, against the will
of its people.
Can't Boy Allegiance.
In the preseut case we have not, I j
repeat, bought any property. We have
undertaken to buy mere sovereignty.
There were no public lands in the Phil
ippine Islands, the property of Spain,
which we have bought and paid for.
The mountains of iron and the nug
gets of gold and the hemp bearing
fields do you purpose to strip the own
ers of their rightful title? We have
undertaken to buy allegiance, pure and
simple. Aad allegiance is just what
the law of nations declares you cannot
buy. The power of congress to dis
pose of the territory or other property
of the United States, Invoked in this
debate, as the foundation of your con
stitutional right, may carry with it In
a proper case a right to the allegiance
of the occupant of the soil we own.
But we have not bought any property
there. The mountains of iron, the nug
gets of gold, the hemp bearing fields,
the tobacco and sugar and coffee, are
not ours unless, holding first that ve
can buy of Spain au allegiance which
this people have shaken off, which
Spain could not deliver, which does
not exist In justice or in right, we can
taen go on and say that the constitu
tion of the United States does not ap
ply to territory and that we will pro
ceed to take the private property of
this people for public use without their
consent. 5
"Whether the inestimable and Imper
ishable principles of human liberty
are to be trampled down by the Ameri
can republic and whether Its great
bulwark and fortress, the American
constitution. Impregnable from with
out. Is to be betrayed from within. Is
our question now.
"Will any gentleman afiirin that the
framera of the constitution or the peo
ple who adopted it considered as an
object and end of their government of
limited powers which the Declaration
cf Independence had declared beyond
the Just powers of any government
end contrary to natural right? Alexan
der Hamilton says the Declaration of
Independence is the fundamental con
stitution of every state.
I have been unable to find a single
reputable authority more than 12
months old for the power now claimed
for congress to govern dependent na
tions or territories not expected to be
come states. The contrary, until this
war broke out, has been taken as too
clear for reasonable question. I con
tent myself with a few authorities.
Among them are Daniel Webster, WU-
r Ham H. Seward, the supreme court of
the United States, James Madison."

Nebraska Insurance Report
The annual report of the insurance
commissioner is now ready for distribu
tion and for all the heavy leases by fire
the report shows a large gain for the Old
Line Companies. After deducting the
amount paid for losses it leaves a net
gain of premiums over all losses amount
ing to ?741,G8 LOO and still to hear the
Old Line agent talk his company is pay
ing out more money than received. But
the above figures show just who is money
out. Certainly the ones who are paying
these enormous premiums to swell the
ipcome o the Old Line companies are
not benefiting themselves any by the
enormous profits these companies are
making on their money,' There is, how
ever, one gratifying thing in the report.
That is mutual companies operated at
home keeping every dollar at home have
made another great gain in the amount
of insurance in force as compared with
the report of 1893. Ail mutuals showed
amount of insurance in force January
1st 1S99 amounting to 65,000,000, while
on Januarv 1st 1900 they show a trifle
over $30,000,000 in force. This is cer
tainly a good, showing. The cry that
comes forth from Old Lines that Mu
tuals cannot pay heavy losses has also
proven itself. The largest amount of
loss paid by any one company in the
state was paid by - a Mutual only organ
ized January llth.1399, only one year
old. The largest amount paid by any
Old Line company was 856,909, out of
an income of $121,913.00, while the
United Mutual Hail. Insurance associa
tion organized January 4, 1S99 pai4
losses amounting to 562,974.00 and on
April 18th paid an additional sum of o,
767 makiDg a total of 69,741 out of an in
come of 95,376. which shows that a Mu
tual with an income of 29,542 less than
the Largest Old Line, has paid 512,832
more losses than the Old Lines. The
above figures are absolute proof that a
well managed Mutual can pay and does
pay a larger percentage of money col
lected from its members than any Old
Line company.
Hail Insurance as Compared With Otber
Classes of Insurance on Farm
Property
The United Mutual Hail Insurance
association with 13,056,924. at risk suf
fered losses amounting to $ 76,600, while
the largest Farm Mutual of state with
834,417,808 covering fire lightning,
cyclone, windstorms and also covering
los3 to live stock by fire, lightning ana
cyclone, suffered loss of only $33,374,
being only one-half the loss on combined
insurance on all other kinds of farm
property, with eleven times the amount
of risk, so if there is any kind of prop
erty a farmer should carry protection
on it is certainly on his growing crops
from destruction by hail storms.
She Was Too Fat
Ada St. Clair, the actress played lead
ing lady parts from 1S90 to 1S96, when
she became so stout that she had to leave
the stage.
She tried many medical remedies and
nostrums without avail. The more anti
fat remedies she swallowed the fatter
she became, and in July, 1396, she
weighed 2Uo pounds.
One day she found a perfect cure, and
in two months thereafter she appeared
in a high class young girl part, weighing
just 128 pounds, and the reduction in
flesh was without the least injury to her
health or purse. '
What she did, how she did it, and
what she used, and how the same treat
ment has cured many men and women
since, Mrs. Lafarge will tell you, confi
dentially, in a letter, for the small fee of
one dollar. There is no other charge
hereafter. Tou can buy what she pre
scribes from your own druggist. The
cure depends more on what you do and
how you do it. No violent exercise, no
starvation diet, or anything of that sort.
You can follow instructions unknown to
your friends, and during a month you
will get rid of from one to two pounds of
useless fat every day. If you think such
a result worth One Dollar to you, send
that amount (in a f 1 bill or stamps.)
Address Mrs. Louise Lafarge, Station
E, Duffy Building, New York. If you
find this treatment not based on com
mon sense, and find it doesn't work she
will send you your $1 back. If you ques
tion the value of this treatment, ask any
proprietor of a first-class newspaper.
They all know Mrs. Lafarge and what
she has done.

Regarding the best defense
Ruy Lopez, the Chess Editor
to the
favors
f the Berlin, but acknowledges
that a
study of other defenses is to be com
mended. Freeborough says: A num
ber of tentative, or counter-attacking
moves, have been introduced into the
defense, such as 3 P-KKt 3. P-KB 4,
Kt-Q 5. QKt-K 2, etc., all of which have
special points which tend to cloud the
issue. They have the disadvantage of
making the defense more difficult
against strong play, and it has not yet
been shown that they get rid o the at
tack any sooner, or any more effect
ually than 3 . , -. Kt-KB 3. Mr. SteiniU
has recently advocated 3.... P-Q 3
which transposes the opening into a
variation of the Philidor Defense."

The New Orleans Times-Democrat t
the 8th inst. coDied from the BrookV
haven (Miss.) Times a list of the play
ers engaged on each side and a broad
summary of the rajes governing the
match. We quote the latter: '
"Each Nebraska player shall play
one game with his Mississippi adver
sary. Drawn games shall count pne
half to each player. The time limit
between receiving moves and posting
replies shall not exceed seveaty-(wo
hours. The rules of the , inerican
Chess Congress tq oyern (being the
same as rules In the Nebraska Chess
Association). Every player shall be
entitled to a vacation of one month in
each year, taken, consecutively or a
week at a Mn;e. The reieree (Mr.
James D. Seguin, box 130, Ifew Or
leansr La.) shall decide all disputes
arising, being governed by the above
rules as far as practicable." .
Three additional games have been
started recently, the players being:
Board No. 17. Dr. E. Bartoo, Ar
cadia, Nebraska' vs. J. T. Pamerbn,
Madison Station, Mississippi.
