A "Filipino general, Malbar, when sur
rounded by tne American army, reply
ing to a demand from American officers
that he surrender without resistance,
declined to do so. He wrbte an interest

loyalty and devotion to the Filipino re
public. He admitted the superiority of
the American army with its equipment
of artillery. In closing the Filipino
general says:
"I must also signify to you that till
the moment when our scarce bullets
shall meet for the last time the over
whelming numbers of those of your
powerful army, our shots demand not
the death of any American, but the free
dom of a people who for three hundred
years have dragged the chain of slavery.
They fought side by side with the Amer

NEWS OF, THE WEEK . . . T
During the week at the palace, in
England eight American women have
kissed the hand of Queen Victoria.' In
certain circles it is considered a great
advertisement for the United States.
Fighting continues in the Philip
pines and. strange as it may seem, the
war js not ended as yet. The little
island of Luzon with slightly more
than half the area of the state of Ne
braska continues to withstand the ad
vance of an army of 65,000 thoroughly
equipped and well trained American
soldiers. The natives have no artillery
and only a limited supply of rifles and
ammunition. The defense they are
making of their liberty is truly mar
velous.

Mentioo THE IN DEI
' F ? . vv?;s,
It is rot orth that make? the man;
It's Wealth deny it they who can!
Tis love for its alchemic ray
That leads society astray.
It can't afford to snub a man
Bnilt on the million-dollar plan !
It only waits until it learns
What you have cot before it spurns.
"So wretch, if he has wealth glore,
Is kept long waiting at its door.
It's Wealth that gild and burnishes;
It's Wealth that scandal furnishes;
It's wealth that causes all our woes;
It buys us friends and buys us foes.
We pay a fee when we ar born.
And when from earthly life we're torn.
When freed from wearing care and toil,
We pay for just six feet of soil
In which to lay in peace away
The still, cold form of crumbling clay.
Crime walks with Riches in the street.
And all whom they may chance to meet
Fair maids in costly gowns and furs.
Each wishing all you have were hers;
And women, weary grown and old.
Who know their world is harsh and cold ;
Stern men who outwardly condemn
On courtier's knees bow low to them !
Not one will dare to snub a man
Built ou the million- dollar plan.
Then your's, O Riches, be the field !
For to you all the virtues yield.
When men despair your smiles to win
They call you, goddess, "root of sin,"
Yet if you but a r la nee bestow
How quickly all their maxims go!
Twas envy of your power alone
That seated Virtue on the throne,
Where she is viciously abused.
And where her sceptre lies unused!
Society the funny thing !
Claims a most brilliant following !
It talks of intellect and brain
For neither one it cares a grain !
It cultivates the Kipling fad!
Those trjvial rhymes are Great'. Egad!"
Jt never raves o er Edison,
For science is a medicine
Which, if by accident they'd drink,
' Might make the fragile darlings think!
And who prefers the "flow of soul"
To pleasures of the, "flowing bowlt"
The only varnish that conceals
The ravages that Tiaie reveals
Is Riches, the great primal cause
Of misery and broken law.
And none can tell if Yirtue'll yield
Till Riches first have had the field.
Was ever heart too hard and cold
To thaw beneath th beams of gold?
Society's a funny thing:
One it will kiss, another sting;
So 'tis not strange that women who
Give Gossip heavy work to do
Divorce their husbands, drink high balls
And take a dozen leaps and falls;
Who, in a nutshell, go the pace.
May yet retain their leader's place.
They demonstrate their own decrees
To do exactly what they please.
" The Charge pf the Four Hundred in
Ibe &mart bet.
Endorsed by Labor Paper
Everywhere the action of the people's
party national . convention is meeting
with enthusiastic approval. The follow
ing doubtless voices in a large measure
the sentiment of the members of labc
organizations throughout the country.
Editorially the Western Laborer of
Omaha says: v
"The result of the" populist conven
tion at Sioux Falls and nomination of
Bryan and Towne by acclamation should
satisfy all reformers, as Bryan has now
a running mate worthy of himself.
"Charles A. Towne is an able, brilliant
and popular citizen, and a strong candi
date, whatever eastern democrats "in
the enemy's country" may think of
him. We consider these nominations an
honest effort to , perfect fusion, and
whether the old democracy of theeast
endorse Towne or not, we will support,
Bryan and Towne ?to the end of the
chapter, as with both men standing to
gether on the Chicago platform we can
not see any thing 'more that honest re
formers should require.
We have repeatedly said that Bryan
was much better than his party, and
were it not for the new democracy that
has rallied around him, the democratic
party as represented by the bosses in
the ""enemy's country" would be un
worthy of any confidence at the hands
of honest reformers.
"We don't expect that the nomination
of Mr. Towne will meet with the approv
al of the eastern democracy that voted
for the election of McKinley, and if the
convention should "throw them over the
transom" at Kansas City we should have
no regrets, knowing that we can never
trust such cattle - under any circum
stances except . where - these frauds can
dominate and control the party and
patronage.
"Local democrats seem to think that
control of all offices and a monopoly of
patronage is fusion We don't think so,
but we do think that perfect fusion has
been accomplished at Sioux Falls and
the fusion lamb is no longer in the dem
ocratic belly. '
"Bryan and Towne are good enougn
for us. We will support them, but if the
"eastern enemy" should nominate a New
lork boss instead, the stuff will be im
mediately off."

A- very strong - presentation of the
English influence, prevailing, was
made by that able and rapidly rising
man of the people, Congressman Sui
zer, of New York, whose' speech in
congress on the matter, in connection
with his efforts to have it made known j
officially what British , fortifications
were being erected on the Northwest
ern frontier, was carefully suppressed
in press reports. What Congressman
Sulzer said is well worth consideration
of the American people. In part he
saiu: ..
"Mr. Speaker, this resolution was in
troduced by me in good faith and at
the suggestion of patriotic people who
have more concern about American
rights .than they have about British
interests. There is a popular demand
for the information called for in this
resolution and the' war department
should furnish it to tuis House, in
order that we may be thoroughly in
formed of the extent of Great Britain's
operations on our northern frontier.
"We contend, sir, and the-facts justi
fy it that while Great Britain is pre
tending to be our friend and is lulling
to sleep the admiration, she is se
cretly, and stealthily erecting great
fortifications all along our northern
frontier that can only mean one thing.
"These great fortifications are not
being erected because of England's love
for America. They are being erected
in order to take advantage of us when
we least expect it. mat is tne trutn

after consultation, no doubt, with Lord
Pauncefote.and after being told what

European powers off ering mediation,
demanding a cessation of .war, and in

principles, and who believes in and
glories in our history of the past to
stand up -here and tell the truth re
garding the . humiliating- surrender of
American rights to British interests
by this pro-English . administration."
Said Michael Davitt in a cablegram
to the Irish World, recently:
:this game of using America
for england's purposes in
the present war is played
with such barefaced shame
lessness ' in the face of eu

touched, and.no' protestations of other
candidates could stay the tide already
set in motion, and on the third ballot
he was uly nominated."
On August 29th he reached Ne
braska with his regiment, and was
met at Oxford by his ' parents who
were proud of-his record and the hon-'
ors. that came to him unsought. A re
ception wassplanned for- him at; bis
.home by the "Class of '98. and exe
cuted in such a manner as to again in
itiate him into citizenship. -The. soldier-citizen
was bo modest in, manner
that no charge of "big head" could be
made to cling to him; and as Joe was
not a patron of the saloon his "engage
ment with the enemy" had been trans
ferred from Manila to Furnas county
from the Mauser to the ballot. 1
But he was elected, and has served
about five months; a term of court has
been held; prisoners have been ar
rested, and. incarcerated:., criminals
have been takefl to the penitentiary,
and to the insane asylum, and all this
work has been performed in such a
modest unpretentious manner, -that
none find fault with "Our Joe", the
"Boy Sheriff" of Furnas county.

Making Little Progress
-The Pacification of the Philippines
and the establishment of civil govern
ment are not progressing in a " very sat
isfactory manner; in fact, less is being
accomplished here in the way of public
works, schools, andean effective "govern
ment at present than - was being' done
be in a position to destroy the prop
erty of our people and lay waste our
towns and cities.
"It seems to me that the republican
administration is being humbugged by
the ministry of Great Britain. To
day it appears that congress can not
do anytning, and does not do anything,
without the consent and the approval
of Great Britain. Everything the ad
ministration does is apparently dic
tated from Downing street. England
never was and never will be our
friend. As Jefferson said, she will
never be our friend until we are her
master.
"The fact that this resolution has
been reported adversely, if now sus
tained, will be evidence to the coun
try that Great Britain has more in
fluence here than the American peo
ple. There is a feeling abroad in this
land, I regret, to say, that the admin
istration has absolutely, abjectly, and
ignominiously surrendered to Great
Britain, and that British interests are
now paramount to American rights.:
"The administration has sacrificed
American rights to 'British interests
in Alaska. It has sacrificed American
rights to Great' Britain in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty regarding the Nica
ragua canal. Great Britain, it seems,
dominates the policy of this -weak;
wobbling, un-American administration.

now seeking to entangle us with her

"The administration has added and
helped Great Britain in every way in
its power to crush and destroy our
two brave little sister republics in
South Africa. Applause on the dem
ocratic side. In fact, sir, if it had
