Uchcd ttates. O Mores! O Temporal
Senator Hoar Plea For Jvsttee.
Here is a paragraph from Senator
Hoar's great speech, than which few,
very few, finer erer fell from hum?n
Upn- I commend It to the boys of thi
land as a thing to be treasured up and
committed to memory:
Mr. President Our friends who take another
etew of this question like to tell us of the mia
tak cf creat men of other days, who hare vain
ly fTOtested a?alrt acquisition of territory. Ons
worthy and most exuberant gentleman ia another
ple points out to his hearers the folly of Web
ster and Clay, the delusions of Charles Sumner
aad contrasts them with the wisdom of Jeffersoa
and Tyler nd Polk. Mr. Jefferson declared that
the acquisition of Louisiana was unconstitutional
and wanted a constitutional amendment to Justify
lt 1 think the general sense of the American
people Is that in that particular Mr. Jefferson waa
in rror and that our power to admit new states
clearly involves the power to acquire territory
from which new states are to be made. I wonder,
however, if there be any man now alire who nov
hole or who erer did or ever will hold a .seat In
either house of congress willing to say that, hav
ing taken an oath to support the constitution, ha
would, for any purpose of public advantage, for
aweir himself for the sake of a real or fancied
goo to his country. I hope and believe that the
epirit of Fletcher of Ealtoun, who said he would
die to serve Scotland, but he would not do a base
thirg to save her, is still the epirit of American
Statesmanship. That exuberant gentleman con
trasts the statesmanship of Polk and Tyler with
that of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay and
Charles Sumner. Somehow or other the names of
Welter and Clay and Sumner live in the hearts
and on the lips of their countrymen, while the
mer, who brought on the Mexican war in the in
terest of slavery ar forgotten. I do not think
we bear of men .building statue to those coun
selors or celebrating their birthdays or writing
their lives. In all generations the statesmen who
hare appealed to righteousness and justice and
freedom hare left an enduring place in the loving
memory of their countrymen, while the men who
have counseled them to walk in the path of in
justice and wrong, even it it led to empire and
even If they were in the majority in their own
day, are forgotten and despised. Ah, Mr. Presi
dent, that gentleman says we are the anointed of
the Lord, as Xhe J?ws were the anointed of the
Lori. Cut the Jewish empire is forgotten. The
eamia of the desert cover the foundations of her
cities. The epider spins its thread; the owl
mal.es its midnight perch In their palaces. But
still those little words: "Thou shalt not steal;
thoi shalt not covet that that is thy neighbor's;
whatever ye would that men shall do to you, do
ye even so again unto them," shine through tha
ages, blazing and undimmed. Mr. President, yoii
may speculate, you may refine, you may doubt,
you may deny, but the one foremost action
in our history, the foremost action in all his
tory. Is the waiting upon its pages those simple
and sublime opening sentences of the Declaration
of Independence. And tlie men who 6tand by it
shall live in the eternal memory of mankind; and
the men who depart from it, however triumphant
and successful in their little policies, shall perish
and be forgotten or shall be remembered only to
be despised. '
Coming Statesmen.
One purpose of these letters Is to in
troduce to the notice of my readers the
rising members of the house, especially
new and young Democratic representa
tives who g've unusual promise of fu
ture eminence. In the great debate on
the armor plate feature of the naval
appropriation bill a trio of young Dem
ocrats showed forth resplendent Wil
liam Walton Kitchin of North Caroli
na. Charles Kennedy Wheeler of Ken
tucky and -Williard Duncan Vandlver
of Missouri. They put up a magnifi
cent fight for the people and led the
Democrats to a notable victory.
The noosier Republicans had hardly
adjourned their more or less perfunt
tory state convention before the spring
municipal elections were held, in which
the grand old party was the recipient
of a most righteous but most astound
ing walloping. The Porto Rican bill
did It: the Philippine Imperial propa
ganda did it; the Cuban scandals did
it; the Macrum exposures did It; the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty did it; tbeGage
nepbtirn dark and damnable perform
ance did . It- the administration's pro
English tendencies did it: it's evident
lack of sympathy with the heroic Boers
did it; the pro-English gold standard
bill did It: Mark Ilanna's ship subsidy
bill did It; Colonel John W. Gates' bold
and brazen trust caper did it; Bever
Idge's speeches did It; Fairbanks pres
idential aspirations did it; Governor
Steele's thrilling oration on shirtless
Caribbeans did it: but, whatever did
It. the Democrats of Indiana didn't do
a thing to the Republicans! Oh, no!
They trampled them in the mud; that's
alb
Qnay and Haana.
In some respects General Charles
Henry Grosvenor of Ohio Is the Tin
luckiest of mortals. The newspapers
are always pestering him. They rep
resented him as publicly congratulat
ing Senator Mark II anna on the un
doing of Matthew Stanley Quay, where
upon the general publishes a card
avowing that when he fell, figurative
ly at least, on Mark's neck In a public
place it was to thank that great and
good man for some kind and compli
mentary remarks iersonal to himself.
Whether Quay will believe the expla
nation I am not authorized to say, as I
am not In the confidence of the
Keystone boss. Lord Byron says,
"Sweet Is revenge, and far stranger
things have happened in this world
than that ex-Senator and ex-Chairman
of the? National Committee Quay should
find some way of evening up the score
with Senator and Chairman of the Na
tional Committee Hanna. It .may be
that he will avenge himself on Mark's
protege, William McKInley, or he may
be satisfied with defeating Mark's ship
subsidy bill. If the newspapers are
to be believed, that palpitating patriot.
Senator Tom Carter of Montana, med
itates the latter method of revenge
for Mark's part in taking off his friend,
the late senator from Quaysylvania.
It would be awful on the Republicans
to lose that $180,000,000 steal, but not
60 bad as to lose President McKInley.
Rats Instinctively leave a sinking
ship. Senator Wellington of Maryland
deserts the Itep'.ibllcan party, or, more
correctly speaking, he claims that the
Republican party has deserted him.
Anyway, he announces that he will
not train with the McHannaltes this
year. It affords great and genuine
pleasure to a lover of his country and
his kind to observe the multiplying
signs of disintegration now manifest
ing themselves In the grand old party,
whose battlecry has so long been, "The
old flag and an appropriation!"
Soma Good Adfice
The New York Journal suggested to
the great missionary couacil that met
the other day that it send soma exper
ienced missionary of the Ecumenical
Congress to the darkest, New Jersey and
labor with the officers of the Philadel
phia A Kea ding railroad who compel
their coal shovellers to work on Sunday
in violation of the state law.
These officials, who ignore the law, are
church members who know how to pray,
and who would feel horrified, if, adjoin
ing their summer homes, some farmer
should harvest his crops or . plough his
fields on Sunday., , .
Let the worttiy missionaries forget
the heathen for a brief time, and on
Sunday next go over to Port Reading or
South Am boy. They will see men be
grimed and soiled, and brutelike, forget
ting God in their efforts to support
their families by violating the law in
shovelling coal from the barges and cars
on the Sabbath. ,
It is said that the work done - by these
men on Sunday could quite as well be
postponed for a day, but the railroad of
ficials will not permit it. Of what avail
is it for capitalists to pass the plate and
to make donations for the heathen of
foreign countries when . they raise and
and perpetuate colonies of heathen in
their own land? .
And what peculiar twist of New Jer
sey justice will give them the right to
violate the statutes without paying the
penalty?

Lincoln to McKinlsy
With the spirit of prophesy resting
upon him, Lincoln seems to have uttered
the following words more for this gene
ration than the generation in which he
lived:
"Tnose arguments that are made that
the inferior race are to be treated with
as much allowance as they are capable
of enjoying; that as much is to be done
for them as their condition will allow
what are these arguments? They are
the arguments kings have made for en
slaving the people not because they
wanted to do it, but becaue the- people
were better off for being ridden.

bill, this is what makes him so strong
with the people, and he will be the nom
inee of the populists, democrats and sil
ver republicans. This conversation
was heard between two republicans:
"McKinley ain't a bad candidate, and, if
he was, I'm tired of this everlasting colic
about the people. Damn the people!
I am in favor of nominating whoever
the pDliticians want and cramming the
ticket down the throats of the people.
Who are they, anyway? A lot of old
mud sills who would like to drive all
business except the honest man out of
office. The politicians have to put up
for the party, run its machinery and
elect its men. If they didn't nobody
would bo elected; they aught to have
something to say about who should
have the offices." "Seems as if they
have something to say, said one of the
delegates. iou bet they have and
they are going to have more, for they
will not support a man that wants to
turn a free republic into an empire, al
though the leaders deny it now, tor the
common people are going to have lots to
say who shall be the next president.
The Porto Rican tariff is the first step
to an empire and then expansion by
force all goes to show what the leaders
intend to try to do in this campaign, the
people will have lots to say next Novem
ber."
"When the seizers ' would seize on
the knees of the nation; and tumble
and humble the whole population; when
democrats change all of our plans by
sure nomination, let all heroes be
found at the polls."
"Yes, when rebles and copper heads,
secesh and traitors;. Are puffing them
selves up with hot-air infiators; Lord,
watch the republicans roll up a large
majority for W. J. Bryan, for he will be
the hero to down imperialism and ex
pansion by force. No crime is so dark
but what the republicans will attempt
it." "Well, do you want to see McKin
ley beaten?" "Xa" ''Then will you
come down with a hundred to be used
by his friends?" "He will be beaten."
."Let him." "It will ruin him." "I will
not give one dollar for corruption"
"Will you lend a hundred to day? He
needs it to buy a few votes, the only way
he can beat Bryan is with money."
"Well, there are lots of fellows who can
be bought, and will vote the republican
ticket, if they can get enough to drink
and smoke on election day; will vote
any way for a little whiskey. No differ
ence how corrupt the candidate is so he
gets in office; this has been the case for
twenty years.

The atention of all fusionists is again
called to the article in last week's issue
entitled "Where the wage workers be
long." In our view of the growth of the
social democratic party in Nebraska and
elsewhere.it is imperatively v necessary
to show that the fusion forces still
stand for the interests of labor, whether
it be on the farm or in the workshop.

old populist and labor man who in 18&4
made a splendid race for commissioner
of Public Lands and Buildings, polling
S3.29S votes with a straight democratic
ticket in the field. We refer to Mr. S.
J. Kent, now deputy commissioner of
labor and treasurer of the state populist
committee. Mr. Kent is an old trade
unionist and has a national reputation
as such. For years he has held posit
ions of honor and trust at their hands
and is universally esteemed because he
has proven himself at all times able and
true. In him the labor people will have
a clean, conservative representative of
their interests. Lancaster county
should again give him her solid support
for commissioner of public lands and
buildings as she did in 1S94. He will
add great strength to our ticket and will
be overwhelmingly elected.
